COLUMBIA, Mo. – When it was finally over, game-winning quarterback Connor Shaw got a long hug from starting quarterback Dylan Thompson.
Chaz Sutton lifted fellow defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney high off the Faurot Field turf.
Columbia never felt so good.
"It was a game I thought we were dead," head coach Steve Spurrier said after the No. 20 Gamecocks' 27-24 double-overtime victory over No. 5 Missouri.
A beaming defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles said he wouldn't trade Shaw for a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"I love that that man to death," Quarles said after Shaw threw for 189 yards and three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and in the two overtimes.
South Carolina spotted arch-conference nemesis Georgia the SEC East lead in September and let Missouri go up by 17 points Saturday night.
So, of course.
Suddenly it's almost time for Spurrier to start breaking down Alabama tape.
The Gamecocks are in firm control of an unexpected SEC East free-for-all, for three obvious reasons:
- After a rally like that, Mississippi State and Florida don't stand a chance in (the real) Columbia.
- You can't like Missouri's psyche, or its chances against at Ole Miss and against Texas A&M.
- Georgia is limping along.
Oh, sure. The tougher-than-expected Tigers (7-1, 3-1 in the SEC) maintain a one-game lead in the SEC East over the Gamecocks (6-2, 4-2). Georgia is 4-3, 3-2 with a win over South Carolina.
But South Carolina is the road-tested, Clemson-tested bowl-winning bunch.
The Gamecocks coming off their first overtime win ever.
They are on an old mission with new life.
That sad statistic about Shaw going 0-for against ranked teams on the road?
The rugged, injured senior leader didn't practice this week because of a sprained knee but came off the bench to stage a comeback for the ages, one that will ring in one Columbia for years, sting in the other.
"We didn't have any points," Spurrier said when asked why he inserted Shaw in the third quarter. "We had to try something new."
Picked for 6th
South Carolina showed what balance and depth on offense can do when a defense gets off the deck and plays hard-nosed football.
Berkeley High School grad Bruce Ellington and supremely confident running back Mike Davis make for such a 1-2 punch with Shaw at the helm.
How many other teams dig such a hole and leave with smiles?
None in the SEC East.
Missouri deserves credit for almost completing a trifecta win streak against Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. The Tigers were picked to finish sixth in the SEC East at SEC Media Days in July.
The Gamecocks, expected to challenge Georgia for an SEC Championship Game trip to Atlanta, knows they might have gone several more overtimes with Missouri if not for Andrew Baggett's missed 24-yard field goal.
"Last week he made five (field goals against Florida)," Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel said. "It's not just one guy."
South Carolina struggled for long stretches, missing tackles as they often have this season. But what an emotional difference, the chance to tweak after a win and the alternative, almost no shot at a division title.
Against most odds
There are a few differences in this Columbia. Fans of the home team drive around with tiger tails hanging off the back of vehicles, and gas is $2.89.
They sing strange sustaining songs. "Fight Tiger" is among them:
"Fight, Tiger, fight for old Mizzou
Right behind you, everyone
is with you"
Well, not everyone.
SEC East aristocracy thinks Missouri atop the division standings is like giving an Oscar to "Bad Grandpa."
This SEC rivalry is only two games old, but long-suffering similarities bond South Carolina and Missouri in their pursuit of a conference title.
The Gamecocks went to the SEC title game in 2010, but their only league championship was the 1969 ACC crown.
Missouri reached Big 12 Championship Games in 2007 and 2008, but Dan Devine led the Tigers to their last title – also in 1969.
The chase is on for 2013.
Against all first-half odds, South Carolina still has a chance.

Product Description
USAePay PayDock iPad Mobile POS
USAePay's PayDock advances the mobile point of sale experience for both merchants and customers. This is accomplished by combining the PaySaber swipe technology with a streamlined iPad enclosure design. The device is made of lightweight hardened polycarbonate with a 6 way mounting option, integrated power supply, and extensions for numerous peripheral items (barcode, receipt printing, cash drawers). This allows the device to function in numerous working environments, including: retail, nonprofit, restaurants, hospitals, hotels, and law enforcement.
Other iPad based POS solutions have hit the market recently, but PayDock ensures quite a few offerings that its competitors cannot; distinctively, the backing of USAePay's secure and scalable mobile API for third party app development. This single point of entry allows clients to focus on front-end development, while benefiting from an accelerated mobile cloud service, for either browser or native based apps, and passing off the burden of PCI Compliance on the Gateway.
Connections on the enclosure and stand allow the iPad to charge when synced with the stand. Quick-Connect tabs allow enclosure to be quickly removed from base for mobile transactions. Using a built-in card swipe, PayDock is the ideal platform for any point-of-sale environment. Can be bolted to the table or used as a free stand with protective rubber feet. Comes in gloss black. Stand, enclosure and PaySaber Clip included. iPad Compatibility: iPad Gen 2/3 – See more at: www.ipadenclosures.com
Even though the Swiper Clip is compact and very portable it is packed with the highest level of security. You can rest assured that every swipe done with the Clip uses the most secure encryption methods at the time of the swipe and it keeps the data secure and encrypted all the way to the processing gateway; that's true end-to-end (E2E) data encryption.

Living in Florida I don't really need a snow shade as much as I need a sun shade which is what I bought mine for. I'm in the belief that blocking the heat of the sun on the outside keeps the inside much cooler and the results prove that. It only takes a couple of minutes longer to install or remove but it's well worth the comfort of a cooler cab.

As a liberal arts institution, Hamilton encourages applications from students of diverse talents and intellectual promise. Prospective students are selected not only on the basis of their performance in high school and their ability to profit from Hamilton's various programs, but also on the basis of their capacity to enrich college life in some fashion -- be it scholastic or extracurricular.
The Admission Committee reviews each application individually and reaches a decision by consensus. Since the number of qualified candidates far exceeds the number of openings available each year, admission to Hamilton is highly competitive.
Because Hamilton's academic program is rigorous, applicants for admission must demonstrate highly developed learning skills. The candidate should, therefore, complete a formal secondary school program, including such preparatory subjects as English, mathematics, foreign language, science and social studies. Although the distribution of these subjects may vary, a minimum of four years of English, three years of mathematics, three years of science and three years of one foreign language is desirable. Nonetheless, since the prime criterion for admission remains the candidate's ability and desire to perform at intellectually demanding levels, Hamilton will consider applications from highly recommended individuals whose preparation does not conform to these guidelines.
The deadline for submitting applications through regular decision is January 1. An application consists of the following: the application form itself (Hamilton's online application is the Common Application), Hamilton's one-page Application Supplement, an admission essay, a secondary school report, a mid-year school report and a teacher reference form. Applicants are offered a variety of ways to meet Hamilton's standardized test requirement. They include: the SAT Reasoning Test; or the American College Testing assessment test (ACT); or three exams of the student's choosing, to include a writing or verbal test, a quantitative test (chemistry, math or physics) and a third test of the student's choice: acceptable exams include SAT II subject tests, AP Exams and the TOEFL for international students. See the Admission website for more specifics.
Because the Admission Committee wants to know as much as possible about each applicant, a personal interview on campus is strongly recommended. Interviews may be scheduled from spring of the junior year through February 1 of the senior year. The candidate should contact the Admission Office at 800-843-2655 to schedule an appointment. Because interview slots are limited and are often booked weeks in advance, students are urged to arrange an appointment well ahead of their intended visit. The Admission Office schedules interviews Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The office is also open on most Saturday mornings from July through November. For those unable to visit the College or schedule an interview during their visit, an off-campus interview with an alumna or alumnus of the College may be arranged. An off-campus interview should be requested as early as possible during the senior year. Alumni interviews cannot be scheduled after December 15. The phone number is 800-791-9283.
A campus visit should involve more than just an interview. Applicants are encouraged to take a tour of the campus, attend an information session, visit classes, talk with faculty members and students, and eat in one of the dining halls. The Admission Office will be glad to assist with any arrangements.
Hamilton is a member of the National Association of College Admission Counselors and adheres to its Statement of Principles of Good Practice in the admission process. Applicants are expected to be aware of their rights and responsibilities as delineated in the Statement of Students' Rights and Responsibilities as promulgated by NACAC. Copies of either or both of those statements may be obtained by writing or calling the Admission Office.
The Early Decision program is designed for students who have investigated their college options thoroughly and have decided that Hamilton is their "first choice." Hamilton College values the commitment and enthusiasm demonstrated by students who choose this program. The program enables students to clearly indicate that Hamilton is their first choice, and allows admitted students to conclude their college search early in the senior year.
A student may apply for Early Decision under the following plans:
Plan I: November 15--Deadline for application
December 15--Notification of decision
Plan II: January 1--Deadline for application
February 15--Notification of decision
Students applying under any of the Early Decision plans will be required to sign a statement that they will withdraw all other college applications and will file no additional applications if they are accepted by Hamilton. A guidance counselor and a parent must also acknowledge the commitment by signing this statement.
Entering students who score satisfactorily on the Advanced Placement Tests or who have earned the International Baccalaureate diploma may be awarded (with the approval of the appropriate department and the Committee on Academic Standing) advanced placement and/or credit. In addition, credit may be granted for coursework taken on other college campuses with regular college faculty.
With the approvals of the appropriate academic departments and the Committee on Academic Standing, students who have earned the International Baccalaureate diploma may be awarded credit based on that diploma.
With the same approvals, a student who scores satisfactorily on an Advanced Placement Test may be awarded advanced placement in that department's curriculum. The department, may, but need not, award the student credit for a lower-level course upon that student's completing, with a grade satisfactory to the department, the course in which he or she was placed.
A student may not receive credit toward a degree solely on the basis of a score on an Advanced Placement Test.
Hamilton offers three programs designed to improve access to higher education for students who, may have experienced academic and/or financial obstacles, but who clearly have demonstrated an ability to perform in a competitive academic environment.
Hamilton participates in the New York State-sponsored Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) and its own Hamilton College Scholars Program. Both provide a wide range of support services, including a mandatory, credit-bearing summer session. Academic support, counseling and tutoring are also provided. In addition, Hamilton supports Opportunity Pathways, an academic and career support program for low-income parents in Herkimer, Madison and Oneida counties. Opportunity Pathways provides comprehensive needs and skills assessment, academic and career counseling, academic support, and assistance with books and travel cost.
For further information, contact Phyllis Breland, director of Opportunity Programs, at 315-859-4398.
Applications from superior students from other countries are encouraged. International students should submit the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) in addition to the materials mentioned above if their language of instruction has not been English. Financial aid is available to international students demonstrating need.
Students who have met their local and/or state regulations for schooling at home may apply for admission to Hamilton. We strongly recommend these home-schooled students have an on-campus interview to discuss their academic preparation for college-level work.
The College is interested in well-qualified, highly motivated students who wish to transfer to Hamilton from other institutions. Because of the College's graduation and residency requirements, no student can transfer more than two years' academic credit from another institution. (See also "Evaluation of Credit for Transfer Students" under "Academic Regulations.")
Transfer candidates must submit official records of all college work accompanied by two letters of recommendation, one of which must be from the dean or academic advisor at the institution most recently attended. The deadline for fall transfer applications is April 15; admission decisions are mailed by early June. The deadline for spring transfer applications is November 15; admission decisions are mailed by January 1. Financial aid for transfer students is available but limited.
In order to be of service to the community, Hamilton will admit highly qualified high school students (usually seniors) to take courses to supplement their academic programs. To be considered for admission, a student must have exhausted his/her high school curriculum in a given area or have a compelling reason for beginning a new course of study in a subject not offered by his/her high school. The Bridge Program supplements high school offerings; it does not replace or substitute for them.
A student may take no more than one course per semester through the Bridge Program and no more than two in total. Bridge students will be allowed to register for a second class only after completing a first course with a grade of B or better, and their grades from Hamilton courses will be reported on their high school transcripts.
All interested students must apply through the Admission Office and, if accepted, must get permission from the department chair to take the course. A score of 5 on the AP Calculus exam is required for admission to the program to take Calculus 2 or any more advanced math course.
Application deadlines for the program are June 15 for the Fall semester and November 1 for the Spring semester.
Convinced that education is a continuing process, Hamilton invites qualified men and women who have been away from formal collegiate education for two years or more to return via the Hamilton Horizons Program. Interested candidates are asked to meet with the director of the program.
The Hamilton Horizons Program provides older students with the same educational opportunities offered to regular undergraduates. The program offers no distinct courses for adults, no evening or weekend courses and no adjunct faculty. Instead, students in this program are incorporated into the mainstream of the College's academic life.
To earn a degree at Hamilton, students in the Hamilton Horizons Program must satisfy all the requirements stated in the College Catalogue, except the requirement in physical education, the requirements governing minimum and maximum course loads, the requirements governing residence on campus and the requirement that the degree be completed within seven years following matriculation.
Applicants are initially accepted as part-time students in the program, which in itself offers no degree. After two semesters, each student has the option of applying to the College as a candidate for the baccalaureate degree. Hamilton Horizons students may take courses for credit or audit them without formal matriculation. The deadline for fall Horizons applications is May 1; the deadline for spring Horizons applications is November 1.

Shepherd, Sheriff's Auxiliary, activist
I'm Eric Vought. My wife and I raise sheep on a small farm in MIssouri. I'm disabled, so I tend to write a lot more now than other things, but we are active volunteers and activists for community self- reliance and personal freedoms, including the RTKBA. I have been helping some of the groups locally research and tweak proposed state legislation.
I am the Commander of the relatively recent (Feb 2012) Lawrence County Sheriff's Auxiliary which is a volunteer uniformed civil service working emergency and disaster response under the Office of the Sheriff. There are other programs across the country that enlist volunteers to work with law enforcement (under, e.g. VIPS) but none quite as ambitious as this one, in terms of our training and anticipated duties and in the fact that we incorporate armed volunteers, something which seems to have fallen out of favor sometime in the 50's or 60's and which communities and agencies are much more interested in today because of declining budgets and an increase in magnitude and frequency of weather emergencies. We were formed in the wake of the Joplin EF5 which had Deputies from 14 Missouri counties deployed in the disaster zone, leaving local response short-handed.
We have spent much of the last year organizing and designing a training/qualification program (first aid, communications, self-defense, law, disaster response) to try to balance the needs of having competent, well-organized responders on the field versus the reality of the time and expense commitment asked of volunteers. Our county has a Reserve Deputy program for part-time licensed Peace Officers which generally attracts people either retiring from or trying to get into a full-time law enforcement career. By contrast, our volunteers are not necessarily connected to law enforcement but more interested in the community service and emergency response aspects.
Personally, firearms are more or less just another tool for us on the farm, carry permits are required by the Auxiliary, we carry much of the time, and shoot to stay in practice. Black powder has become a bit of a hobby and I actually consider bp shooting to be fun (modern inline bp rifle and a replica 1858 Remington revolver), no longer being able to keep up with archery.
I was a student at Simon's Rock College during the 1992 shooting and have been writing a bit about that in the last few months. I have recently been asked to be part of a panel on Active Shooter situations at the upcoming IAEM in October and am looking for good discussion to challenge and refine my own thinking. Most of the online discussions are frankly nuts on all sides of the issue. I came to this forum because of its very high reputation and have been lurking for a bit.

I am the owner of The Old Gunhand website devoted to the Senior Citizen shooter. I have been shooting for over 42 years and saw action in Vietnam. I have only started visiting gun forums recently and it has been an eye opener. I hope to provide some informed opinions that some may find helpful.
Let's see, I carry a gun and still work doing IT and security compliance as liaison with several Federal agencies. I am also very involved in the study of IQ and intelligence as part of my Mensa activities. Married with no kids, just two dogs who are treated as kids. I live in a very large retirement community so I am attuned to the needs of older people who cannot carry or use guns as well as you young guys can.
The worst thing about growing old is that other men no longer see you as dangerous.

Hello everyone I love to shoot, target, IDPA, hunt fish shoot trap. I have been reloading 12 gauge and.40 predominantly for years, in no way do I consider my self an expert. That would of been my late father. I inherited some of his reloading equipment and misc. old powders primers even found some old zinc alcan hulls! I have added a lot more reloading equipment to his collection. now I am reloading .38,.357,.40,.44mag,.45acp,.223/5.56,.22-250. And the good old 12quage. I found some old data for my alcan5 for my 38/357 but more interested in doing some crow/turkey loads #5 shot AA hull, MY big question is always safety!? is it possible with a plastic wad?? my LH 870 wing master express was a gift from my father. most the others I bought from his wife, I don't want to destroy any of them many are quite valuable in the books and more so to myself. Thank you all for welcoming me to your community I have seen a lot of people say 209a primers are just a little hotter than the 209s is there any kind of powder reduction formula similar to the 10%-reduction in powder for 5.56 being thicker?

Hi all,
The names Matt. I'm a corrections officer for state of MO, CCW holder, and NRA member. I have been shooting for hunt, sport, or anything since I was about 10 years old. I have typically come across this site and read posts but never registered and participated till today. Hope to be able to meet a few new friends and share my thoughts, and have a burning question answered that will probably be my second post....

Yet another new member who has surfed the site for a few years and now decided to join. I frequent a few other shooting forums and haven't joined here because I was happy with just reading along at THR.
But the widespread opposition and just plain indifference to firearms and civil liberties has convinced me to add my eyes, ears and voice to a few places that I haven't been as committed to until now. And it will be nice to see the members-only attachments to posts too.
I'm male and retired. I own about a dozen guns, half of which I inherited from my mom and dad. I'm a small-time reloader and a hobby level gunsmith, making a few of my own accessories and various AR-15 parts including an upper and some lowers. I do most work on an old 3-in-1 multi-tool that I built my own CNC system for and wrote my own software to operate.
I look forward to learning all I can and contributing any of my experience that might help others.

New member greetings from Nor Cal
Hello all, I just joined in February, but I've been lurking and I learning and watching for a while now. This is a great group of learned people, I'm glad to be a member. I've been shooting since I was eight years old in military school. Mostly long guns earliest and the rest now mostly handguns. Recently I purchased my first AR 15 and it's going to fun getting to know as much as I can from friends, publications, and a great forum like this, and shooting it. I have a Beretta 92fs inox, aS&W 686 plus p 5 inch, and a Springfield 1911 a1 ss target Loaded, and an Adcor B.E.A.R. Elite. I look forward to learning and sharing here on THR.
P. S. California laws suck!

Hello all members.
I was raised in the country and learned to shoot starting with a BB gun and working my way up from there.
Curiously, no one that I knew of had a handgun. Only the police carried them- revolvers all.
In Nevada, I finally had a job that paid well enough to purchase several firearms.
My first purchase was a Sig Sauer P-226 in 1989. It is a great gun!
And with Nevada being a bit of the Old West and plenty of public land to shoot on, times were good.
I personally know of several people that committed suicide with guns, or killed accidently.
As a result, I'm all for gun safety. I think that this can be accomplished without compromising the 2nd Ammendment.
Thanks for the welcom.

Miss Stana,
As far as I'm concerned, and I'm confident that I can speak for the rest of the staff on this, women are definitely welcome here.
Glad you decided to join us.

Hey all, my name is Jamie. I registered here a few weeks ago, but never saw this thread. Thought it might be appropriate to officially introduce myself.
I was born in Indiana, and moved to Arizona at age 14. I've lived here ever since. I'm now a bona fide desert rat.
After graduating college, I served in the US Army as an intelligence officer. I'm now out of the military, pursuing a PhD, and have intentions of starting a new career as a college professor.
My grandfather was a gun collector, and I grew up shooting, what seemed like every day.
I have many flirtations like 1911s, S&W Revolvers, cowboy guns, etc, but my first and strongest love will always be the Browning Hi Power. Its been my constant companion since I could legally carry it.
Anyhow, its good to be here.

Miss Stana, I can't speak for the forum, as I'm new here also, but I'm definitely supportive of women arming and training themselves. My wife has her CHP and carries an XD9sc, adult daughter who doesn't have her permit yet, but has an XD9 4" for home defense, and open carry while driving.

text: Shaw competes with Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra openly by recreating Cleopatra's earlier seduction of Julius Caesar when he came to Egypt. Leigh shared some of the sexual aggression of her role when she decided to break her own marriage and Olivier's in order to secure him as her husband. In this film she was still young enough to capture the allure of a youthful Cleopatra. Claude Rains played the aging Caesar.The correlation of the two plays was illustrated in 1951, when Laurence Olivier played Antony and Vivien Leigh Cleopatra in a production that played in repertory with George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra at the St James's Theatre and later on Broadway.

My oh my! The responses to the City Council's balk at banning plastic bags in Friday's newspaper were right on. Our city's Sustainability Commission are also right on. "Bring Your Own Bag" Council, this is the 21st century. We have used bags for over a year now, and yes, we do clean them so that we don't spread food-borne illnesses like E.coli. In fact, all are friends who come to Tahoe do the same. We are all bag people. With all the issues before you, this one is a no-brainer. Council, do something for the enviroment and what's left of our beautiful area. Don't study this one to death. Move on and we will all be better. No more plastic bags.

Operator overloading is a way to make the classes you create work with the standard Python operators and some of the built-in functions. As a side effect of this it makes you classes work well with other parts of Python that make use of those operators and bulit-in functions.
To illustrate some examples, I am going to use a Vector class:
- Code: Select all
class Vector(object):
A two dimensional bound Cartesian vector.
x: The x coordinate of the vector terminus (int or float)
y: The y coordinate of the vector terminus (int or float)
Overridden Methods:
def __init__(self, x, y = 0):
Initialize a vector from a tuple or pair of numbers.
x: The x coordinate or a sequence of x and y coordinates (sequence or number)
y: The y coordinate (number)
# check for sequence initialization
if isinstance(x, (tuple, list)):
self.x = x[0]
self.y = x[1]
# otherwise use number initialization
self.x = x
self.y = y
You may think there's a lot of commenting going on here. It's useful, though. Run the above code and type "help(Vector)". It will spew out all of the block comments for the class. This is useful when you are trying to debug, especially when trying to debug code you wrote three years ago that your boss asked you to add a new feature to. As a way of introducing our first overlaoded operator, Imagine you are trying to debug a problem with a particular vector:
- Code: Select all
>>> a = Vector(8, 1)
>>> a
<__main__.Vector object at 0x02403430>
Well, that's not very helpful, is it? We could get around this with:
- Code: Select all
>>> a = Vector(8, 1)
>>> print(a.x, a.y)
8 1
That's a pain in the butt, and usually when you're debugging you have a pain in the butt already. The key to getting around this is knowing that typing 'a' into the interpreter is the same as typing 'repr(a)' into the interpreter, and typing 'print(a)' into the interpreter is the same as typing 'str(a)' into the interpreter. We can use operator overloading to make Python do what we want in those situations:
- Code: Select all
def __repr__(self):
Computer readable representation.
return 'Vector({}, {})'.format(self.x, self.y)
def __str__(self):
Human readable representation.
return '({}, {})'.format(self.x, self.y)
Add the above code to your Vector class definition. Now we get:
- Code: Select all
>>> a = Vector(8, 1)
>>> a
Vector(8, 1)
>>> print(a)
(8, 1)
Much better. But you may be wondering why I made the easier to type version (a) return a more complicated result. And why did I call it "computer readable?" The convention for repr is that eval(repr(x)) == x. So the return value of __repr__ should be something that evaluates into an equivalent object. For complicated objects that change a lot after they are created, this can be a pain. In that case the convention is to put the object type and some other useful information inside angle brackets. Which is exactly what we saw before we implemented __repr__ for the Vector class.
So let's try out our new repr:
- Code: Select all
>>> a = Vector(8, 1)
>>> eval(repr(a)) == a
So why didn't that work the way I said it would? Because we haven't told Python how to judge the equality of Vector objects. == is an operator after all, and it's one we haven't overloaded yet. Python, not having been told how to judge equality of Vectors, judges it by the memory address of the objects. eval(repr(a)) resides at a different memory location than a itself does. So let's tell Python how to judge equality:
- Code: Select all
def __eq__(self, other):
Equality testing.
other: What to check equality against. (Vector)
return self.x == other.x and self.y == other.y
Now it works:
- Code: Select all
>>> a = Vector(8, 1)
>>> eval(repr(a)) == a
>>> b = Vector(8, 1)
>>> a == b
>>> c = Vector(8, 2)
>>> a == c
>>> a == (8, 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "vector.py", line 39, in __eq__
return self.x == other.x and self.y == other.y
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'x'
That last AttributeError is acutally bad form. The convention in Python is to return the special object NotImplemented if the equality comparison is not supported. On the other hand, we might want to support equality with tuples. So let's rewrite our __eq__ method:
- Code: Select all
def __eq__(self, other):
Equality testing.
other: What to check equality against. (Vector)
# vector to vector
if isinstance(other, Vector):
return self.x == other.x and self.y == other.y
# vector to sequence
elif isinstance(other, (tuple, list)):
return self.x == other[0] and self.y == other[1]
# vector to anything else
return NotImplemented
And when we try it out:
- Code: Select all
>>> a = Vector(8, 1)
>>> b = Vector(8, 1)
>>> a == b
>>> a == (8, 1)
>>> b == [8, 1]
>>> a == 5
>>> a == (8, 1, -1)
Now when we try to equal something that doesn't make sense, Python gracefully gives a False instead of an error. And note that we may have wanted that last comparison to be False. I'm trying to be simple here, but it is good to be careful what you code lest you get unexpected results.

Woman gets 22 years for toddler's hit-and-run death
Aushua McDuff-Brown found guilty of second-degree murder
A woman found guilty in the hit-and-run that killed a 3-year-old Stockton boy was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Monday.
Aushua McDuff-Brown, 22, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Ruben Ramirez in October. She also received an enhancement of use of a deadly weapon -- her vehicle.
McDuff-Brown got into an argument with another woman during a child custody exchange outside the Madison Street Market in Stockton in October 2011.
Investigators said McDuff-Brown tried to run over the woman, who was her friend's ex-girlfriend, and instead hit Ramirez.
Ramirez was pinned between McDuff-Brown's car and the market building, according to police.

West of Memphis: Voices for Justice
Rating: 3 stars
A companion to the documentary "West of Memphis," the Amy Berg-directed depiction of the plight of the West Memphis Three – Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelly, who spent more than 18 years in prison for crimes they were later proven not to have committed – "Voices for Justice" gathers performances from the core group of music community activists who rallied around the West Memphis Three's cause during their imprisonment.
Intermingled with various solo turns, impromptu "all-star band" collaborations and previously unreleased live recordings are smartly chosen bits of the film's original score, a haunting collection of themes composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis of the Bad Seeds.
The compilation holds up quite well as an album, the thematically linked pieces serving to underscore the sense of moral and ethical outrage surrounding the case. Things start with a harrowing edge, as Henry Rollins reads a letter sent to him by the imprisoned Echols in 2003; "Death Row Letter Year 9" finds Rollins' recitation placed atop a theme from the Cave/Ellis score, and it's an evocative, deeply moving piece. Erstwhile Dixie Chick Natalie Maines deepens the intensity of mood with a surprisingly visceral take on Pink Floyd's searing "Mother," joined by Ben Harper on lap steel guitar. Lucinda Williams then brings a jailhouse desperation to the swampy blues of her 2006 song "Joy," rerecorded with some new lyrics specifically for this project.
The first of the "supergroups" – Camp Freddy, featuring Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction and others – gamely gets its glam rock on with a delicious romp through David Bowie's "The Jean Genie," with ample time set aside for some glitter-soaked guitar work from Navarro. Next up, the hilariously christened Tonto's Giant Nuts – Johnny Depp and his pal Bruce Witkin – brings a beautifully creepy slant to Mumford and Sons' "Little Lion Man," a favorite song of Echols' during the latter part of his imprisonment. Speaking of creepy, West Memphis Three supporter Marilyn Manson is the king of that category, and his goth-glam-techno romp through Carly Simon's slab of AM gold, "You're So Vain," is deliciously decadent.
Perhaps the most high-profile and consistently vocal member of the West Memphis Three-supporting music community, Eddie Vedder, provides the album's highest point right smack in the middle of the proceedings with "Satellite." This one's a heartbreaker. With only multitracked ukuleles for company, Vedder delivers a deeply passionate vocal dripping in empathy and compassion – he wrote the song as part of a collection of tunes he penned and gifted to Echols and his girlfriend Lorri Davis in 2000.
Happily, there's not a dog among the rest of the album's tracks, with other highlights including Citizen Cope's sultry blues/hip-hop hybrid "DFW," Bob Dylan's "Ring Them Bells" and Patti Smith's riveting live rendition of "Wing" standing tallest. A beautiful collection of songs recorded for all the right reasons.

Diamond In the Rough
Rating: 3 stars
Different generations of Philly's old-school rap scene made a handsome showing in 2012. In a year that saw Beanie Sigel releasing a minor hit before heading back to prison and Schoolly D touring with Public Enemy, having Freeway back in action is a bonus. Like his pal Beans, Freeway was a member of Jay-Z's Roc-a-Fella family in the early 2000s and stayed hard throughout the decade and its four solo releases.
"Diamond in the Ruff" proves that highly volatile Freeway is still the stoic iceman when it comes to rapping and rhyming. With steel, busy beats behind him, "No Doubt" is nail hard and just a little Lil Wayne-y. "Ghetto Street" is good and ghostly, but a bit of a gangster retread. When you're the hard guy, staying bad forever can become a grind, especially when you're an acknowledged peaceful Muslim. That could be why Freeway has added a dose of coy and clever humor to his menacing, low-voiced rants. The romping (and Just Blaze-produced) "Early" finds Free toying naughtily with morning sexuality ("she just played karaoke on my pokey"), while "Sweet Temptation" allows him to make light of MCs with tight slacks and pseudo-African allegiances. Fun.

Boyd Lee Dunlop
The Lake Reflections: Solo Piano Reflections
[B Sharp Records]
Rating: 3 stars
"Kick The Critic Out" is the title of one of the musical streams-of-consciousness on Boyd Lee Dunlop's suprisingly lovely new set of piano soliloquies. Maybe that's because critics are the ones who will instantly recognize the chord changes of Matt Dennis' "Angel Eyes" in the skeleton of the tune (they're not even hidden, for pity's sake).
That is how Dunlop works in these ultra-personal streams of musical consciousness. In a tune that Dunlop calls "America the Peaceful," you'll hear, in passing, clear references to "America the Beautiful." In "Kick the Critic Out" you'll hear Matt Dennis, in another tune you'll hear the changes of "Cry Me a River" struggling to announce themselves and in still another the rich chromaticism of "Deep Purple."
And that's the point of these Proustian musical explorations; they're an old man's fantasias on music half and fully remembered. In his first disc – a trio affair – what Dunlop was doing wasn't a quarter as interesting as the young Buffalo-connected producers (Brendan Bannon and Allen Farmelo) who found the Buffalo piano-playing brother of the great drummer Frankie Dunlop and wanted the world to celebrate their discovery as much as they did. It was a great story, which is why the New York Times went along with them, even if the music on that first disc wasn't nearly as interesting as the story.
Because the second one is a set of solo lucubrations, where the pianist is responsible only to his producers (and no other musicians), this is vastly more interesting. By the time you get through his musical remembrances of tunes past (none but "America the Beautiful" mentioned anywhere in the disc), it all becomes lovely and rather moving in its way.

Daughn Gibson
All Hell
[White Denim]
Rating: 3 stars
Josh Martin spent more than a decade drumming in punk and hard rock bands in central Pennsylvania, including in Allentown's Pearls and Brass, but you wouldn't know it from "All Hell," his debut under the pseudonym Daughn Gibson. The album is a unique blend of deep country melodies and sample-based instrumentation.
Gibson fell in love with country music when he worked as a long-haul truck driver, and his writing adapts the genre's classic strain of character-driven hard-luck narratives, with empathetic songs about being an old man in a young girl's world, about writing a song about rain on the highway, about bad guys who grow up to be "totally worthless."
His resonant, dramatic baritone calls to mind Waylon Jennings, Lee Hazlewood and Scott Walker, but the music owes more to contemporary studio obsessives like James Blake, the Magnetic Fields or Grimes, with spooky textures and sparse electronic beats mingling with acoustic guitars and piano.

|Structure of Synaptic Connectors Solved
Establishment of neural connections at specialized intercellular junctions called synapses is critical for proper brain function, and errors in the process are thought to be associated with autism and other disorders. Researchers from Stanford University and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center have reported high-resolution, three-dimensional structures of the proteins, called neuroligin-1 and neurexin-1β, that form this connection. Because mutations in the neurexin and neuroligin genes are among the multiple genetic causes of autism, understanding the molecular mechanism of these proteins in synapse development is a first step towards development of novel therapeutics directed to treat and possibly cure autism.
In the presynaptic neuron, the connector protein is called neurexin; its partner on the postsynaptic neuron is known as neuroligin. Past studies had indicated that neuroligins and neurexins establish their connection by forming a complex in which two neuroligin molecules link to each other, and a neurexin molecule attaches to each side of the pair. As neurons create new synapses during learning, they must form this neuroligin–neurexin connection for those synapses to become functionally mature.
Problems with this process of synapse development are thought to be a major cause of brain disorders such as autism and mental retardation. To gain a better understanding of how the two proteins interact, the Stanford–Texas team investigated the molecular structure of neuroligin-1 itself, as well as the complex of neuroligin-1 and neurexin-1β, which allowed them to visualize the interfaces between the two neuroligin and two neurexin molecules in the four-molecule complex, as well as binding sites for calcium, which is required for formation of the complex. X-ray crystallography data were gathered at ALS Beamlines 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 and Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory Beamline 11-1.
The structure of the neuroligin-1 bound to neurexin-1β revealed that two neurexin-1β molecules bind to two identical surfaces on the opposite faces of the neuroligin-1 dimer to form a heterotetramer. The neuroligin-1/neurexin-1β complex exhibits high affinity, and includes a large binding interface that contains bound Ca2+. Spliced sites (SS4 and SSB) in neurexin-1β and in neuroligin-1 are positioned near the binding interface and regulate the strength of the interaction. The neuroligin point mutations that were found in some autism patients are located away from the binding interface and face the inside of the protein, implying that these mutations most likely affect the folding of neuroligin rather than its interaction with neurexin.
Based on this structure, the researchers suggest a model of the structural organization of these cell-adhesion proteins at the synaptic junction: The arrangement of the neuroligin-1/neurexin-1β complex positions features called the C-terminal stalk regions of neuroligin-1 and neurexin-1β at opposite faces of the heterotetramer. In this way, the complex bridges the 15-to-20-nm distance between the pre- and post-synapic membranes by tethering to these membranes through the stalk regions of neuroligin-1 and neurexin-1β.
To determine whether the structure they had developed reflected the actual behavior of the proteins, the researchers mutated neuroligin-1 at locations they predicted would disrupt the interface between it and neurexin. The mutations not only reduced the affinity of neuroligin-1 for neurexin-1β up to three orders of magnitude and confirmed the binding interface revealed by the neuroligin-1/neurexin-1β complex structure, but also gave the researchers molecular tools to probe the details of this interaction.
The new structural information and an understanding of how mutations affect that structure could offer clues into how these proteins might have been disrupted in individuals with autism and provide molecular insights for understanding the role of the neuroligin/neurexin interaction in synapse function. Eventually, it may be possible to develop pharmaceutical approaches to treating autism by stabilizing such interactions and compensating for the effect of the mutations.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
JDRF, a global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) agreed to provide additional funding for the development of a novel stem cell therapy by ViaCyte. JDRF and CIRM will each contribute $3 million to further advance the project.
ViaCyte's product is designed to deliver to patients immature pancreatic progenitor cells developed from a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line; over time, these cells develop into mature pancreatic cells that are capable of producing pancreatic hormones, including insulin. These cells are encapsulated in a device that isolates the cells from the host but allows free flow of oxygen, nutrients, and other factors, so that the cells can respond to blood glucose and release hormones like insulin while being protected from the patient's immune system. The combination product is designated VC-01. The benefit of such a breakthrough would be the ability to provide a patient with a new source of insulin-producing cells to replace those destroyed by the autoimmune response that is a hallmark of T1D, according to Julia Greenstein, Ph.D., JDRF's vp of cure therapies.
"The ability to encapsulate and thereby protect implanted insulin-producing cells has been a focus for JDRF because of its potential to solve multiple problems at once. ViaCyte is currently at the forefront of developing this technology, making this a very attractive research opportunity for us," she said
The contributions by JDRF and CIRM are intended to move ViaCyte's combination of stem cell-derived pancreatic progenitors and encapsulation device (VC-01 combination product) to approval by the FDA for proof-of-concept human clinical trials. To date, VC-01 has been shown to be effective in controlling blood glucose in multiple preclinical models, and clinical trials to initially investigate the safety and efficacy in patients with T1D are expected to be initiated next year, noted Paul Laikind, Ph.D., ViaCyte's CEO and president.
"CIRM and JDRF are valuable partners as we pursue this potentially transformative new approach to controlling insulin-dependent diabetes. While we appreciate their financial awards, we have also benefited from the valuable technical support and advocacy they provide to our program. With their help we will soon determine if the promising results we have demonstrated in preclinical studies translate to patients. If so, VC-01 could essentially represent a cure for type 1 diabetes and an important therapy for patients with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes," he said.

A potentially great people who have a lot of problems that need to be addressed. Quite rightly they feel a great injustice has been done to them in the past, but this tends to negate any ability they might have to look upon themselves self critically…thus perpetuating a cycle of crime and underachievement.
Historically black people have suffered a lot at the hands of others, but for how long can they keep blaming the past for their problems?

I feel slightly bad for saying this, knowing all of the great black people whom I know, and having an understanding of the great accomplishments of the black race, but the younger generations of African Americans are steadily becoming more ignorant and racist. Fewer black children have dreams to do great things after the turn 12. From 12 on they just want to be gangsters and turn to racism towards whites and minorities besides themselves to make themselves feel better about their stupidity. There are no longer kids like Ben Carson or Richard Wright. Nowadays black kids want to be like 50 cent or some stupid rapper with no education. Black kids are now contradicting everything that the Civil Rights movement was for. It was not meant to simply make black people better than everyone else. The purpose of the Movement was to promote peace and equality. It was supposed to allow blacks, whites, and all other races to get along. Now young blacks are almost as racist as the whites were to their grandparents. Every day of elementary school I heard black kids making racially offensive comments towards whites or non black minorities. They think it's ok to be racist towards non blacks but if in response a white person calls them a nigger in response to their previous statement they freak out yelling "DID YOU HEAR WHAT THIS WHITE ASS CRACKA MOFUCKA JUST SAID! THIS CRACKA IS A RACIST!" It is sad to see how blacks are now given the chance to achieve greater education, yet so few of them try to achieve it. They think the way to succeed is to try to be a gangster even though they are all just soft little kids. I know there are exceptions and that there are many great, respectable, educated black people out there, but this is what you will see on a daily basis. It's sad.
Person 1: Why'd that little kid just call us "cracka mofuckas? We didn't even say anyhting to him?
Person 2: Oh, dont worry. He's a black person.

One of the most hypocritcal races on our planet. They like to walk around in large groups, calling each other a long list of racial slurs(usually consisting of Nigga, Nig, Dog, or some form of the three). But as soon as somebody with less pigment in their skin comes along and says anything remotely close to what they seem to like to call themselves, they get their cousins, brothers(or "bruthas"), sisters(sistahs), aunty, uncle, pops, momma, and other fellow blacks to all lend a hand in jumping the poor one who slipped up and said something even the slightest bit out of line.

Fewer seek unemployment benefits
The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits slipped 2,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 339,000, the fifth straight decline that shows businesses see little need to cut jobs.
The Labor Department said Thursday that the less volatile four-week average fell 5,750 to 344,000. The average has dropped 11 percent in the past year.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. They have fallen back near pre-recession levels this month after spiking in early October because of the partial government shutdown and processing backlogs in California. The steady declines are the latest sign that companies are firing fewer workers.
And last week's report on hiring and unemployment in October showed that businesses are also hiring workers at a steady pace.
Employers added 204,000 jobs in October, many more than expected and a sign that companies shrugged off the 16-day shutdown. Private businesses added 212,000 positions.
Companies have stepped up hiring as growth has picked up. Employers added an average of 202,000 jobs per month from August through October.
The economy expanded at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the July-September quarter, up from a 2.5 percent rate.

Decker School of Nursing
Graduate Program
The graduate and undergraduate nursing programs of the Decker School of Nursing are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) through June 19, 2019.
The Decker School of Nursing offers graduate level programs of study culminating in professional graduate degrees of the Master of Science (MS) and Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) with majors in family, community health, psychiatric mental health or adult-gerontological nursing. The Decker School also offers the research degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nursing, with emphases in rural health and vulnerable populations.
In the Master of Science program, students select one of four functional roles to pursue as either a clinical nurse specialist (CNS), administrator, educator or nurse practitioner (NP). Dual roles are also available for additional credit. Certificates are available in Disaster Preparedness, Nursing Education, and Forensics.
For those students already holding a master's degree in nursing, the Decker School offers post MS programs leading to a certificate as family, adult-gerontological, family psychiatric mental health, or community health primary care nurse practitioner. Students with a baccalaureate degree in nursing and certification as a nurse midwife may complete requirements for a master's degree in family nursing.
The Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) program is designed to prepare Nurse Practitioners and Clinical Nurse Specialists to respond more efficiently to changes in health care delivery and emerging health care needs. The DNP focuses on providing leadership for evidence-based practice, and will incorporate the advanced practice content currently included in the master's program. New courses will encompass the following essential content:
- Scientific underpinnings for practice
- Organizational and systems leadership for quality improvement and systems thinking
- Clinical scholarship and analytical methods for evidence-based practice
- Information systems/technology and patient care technology for the improvement and transformation of health care
- Health care policy for advocacy in health care
- Interprofessional collaboration for improving patient and population health outcomes
- Clinical prevention and population health for improving the nation's health
- Advanced nursing practice
Under the guidance of a committee, students will complete a DNP Capstone Project which will result in the implementation of a program plan for improvement of one of the following areas:
- Health care delivery system
- Program development and evaluation
- Development of a patient-focused intervention
- Organizational changes that influence health care policies to reduce health care disparities
The PhD program in nursing is designed to prepare graduates for research and active scholarship in nursing that will extend the knowledge base of nursing and improve the delivery of health care for rural and vulnerable populations. Graduates will be prepared to conduct research and develop theory related to these populations. Graduates of the program will also be able to design future practice models, direct the development of policy initiatives and effect meaningful change within healthcare delivery systems. The program includes:
- Research and Conceptualization:
- Study in advanced research methods, theory development and analysis, advanced statistics for health research, conceptual analysis, instrumentation and measurement, and involvement in active research programs

Guys since the March 16 episode, the MP4 download no longer plays on my Android device. What did you change?!
@Kiko: Which file (the MP4, MP4 Medium, MP4 High Quality)? And are you streaming it (clicking on the link on the site) or downloading it and then trying to play it? And what version of the Android OS are you using?
awesome show. i'm looking forward to new hardware coming out with Win8 so you don't have to have those HUGE laptops between you and the channel9 cameras.
@duncanma: MP4 format, Android 2.3.7. I've been downloading it through the "../feed/mp4" link using a podcast manager app.
Past episodes are still playable.
@Kiko:I've updated the MP4 for the current episode (the one after this) to use a new style of MP4 encoding that I'm hoping will solve your problem. Is it possible to check if this file works for you? http://media.ch9.ms/ch9/ec79/2142e550-6e84-4d7b-bdc0-bfb5f551ec79/MP4Test2.mp4
@Duncanma: (Sorry late reply) Whatever you did, it worked! Thanks for fixing it.

5 Things I Learned by Quitting the Internet
Could I do it? Yes I could, and what I learned may surprise you. Out there beyond the computer screen there was a whole world of wonders I'd been neglecting. Magical things and special people. Interpersonal relationships that had gone neglected due to the deceptive ease and covert evil of the Internet. My week of electronic liberation showed me a better, brighter world I know I will never leave.
The Internet has changed the world, and perhaps in no way more startling and relevant to Cracked writers and readers than in its revolution of pornography. There's a whole world out there of headshakingly, awful, diverse and God-forsaken smut with varying degrees of quality. And it's all free. Well, not all of it, but I shudder to think what people are paying for that they can't find being given away for nothing. It's no surprise that the absence of online porn was my first stumbling block on the road to breaking my Internet addiction.
But here's the thing. Did you know that you can get porn even without the Internet? It's true. Although I can't imagine why, there are still magazines and DVDs of people doing things to each other while not wearing clothes, sometimes with the assistance of various devices. You can even buy some of these magazines at newsstands, stationery stores and, for some reason, airports. Don't be fooled by the brown paper bag they sometimes come in. Underneath? Boobies! No joke.
Don't worry. This isn't the sexy part.
Another thing about these magazines. Don't make the same mistake I did. They don't work like a flip book. They're just filed with stationary dirty pics of different naked people. Flipping the pages fast at the corners won't animate it.
For that, you need to buy a DVD. No, I didn't just misspell "download." A DVD is an actual disc like a compact disc. Oh, um, how can I explain? Like a really flat doughnut that doesn't taste good, but shows you images of people having sex?
Anyway, it's all still out there! And to think of all the anti-social time I spent alone in a darkened room, hunched over a keyboard when I could have been out and part of the community, buying unspeakable smut from lovely, recent immigrants in brightly lit Times Square stores.
And the best part is, no matter how filthy your purchase, he'll still call you "sir."
#4. There's Other Ways To Get The News
So a couple of days into my journey, I realized I had no idea what was going on in the world. Was Obama the devil? Was Sarah Palin tellin' it like it is? Had Ron Paul smiled for a photo looking like he'd accidentally swallowed a small, but well-clawed animal that was slowly scratching back up his esophagus? Without CNN.com and Foxnews.com, I just had no idea.
But wouldn't you know it? It was my local newsstand that came to the rescue again. There are these things I'd remembered from my youth called newspapers. They have all sorts of information about foreign and domestic affairs and best of all, instead of being free, a well-respected one like the New York Times costs two bucks and leaves black crap all over your fingers! It's like getting all the knowledge of slightly less perfunctory reporting with the sexy sensation of working in a coal mine. Goodbye free easy online access, hello expensive cumbersome mess! That's what I say.
And that's not all. It has a crossword puzzle. Have you seen these things? They're amazing. And if you devote hours and hours of your life to them, you might be able to solve one harder than the novice ones they run on Monday. Check it out!
Now who's the dummy spending 14 dollars a week for dirty fingers? Not me. I knew 17 across, "Where sad trash collectors get together?" was "In the dumps." Yeah, Internet Shminternet. This rules.
#3. Your Smart Phone Isn't The Only Thing That Knows The Weather
Typically, I start the day checking my smart phone for the weather. Do I wear my sexy form-fitting turtleneck or is this a warmer day, more appropriate for my ab and ass showcasing mini-jean shorts? The Internet lets me know. And I'll admit, without it, I was pretty lost.
Boy was I embarrassed that day. I thought it was gonna be like 80 degrees!
I mean, I put my hand out the window and all that stuff, but how to know what the weather will be like later? That's when I remembered that that rectangular thing on my entertainment center did something besides make my computer monitor bigger and DVR things. It was a television! And T.V. had live morning shows hosted by bland middle-aged men and insanely happy middle-aged women who looked like they were probably 3rd runner up for Miss Oklahoma in the early '90s. But the thing is, these shows also had weathermen. It seemed like a great job. They stood in front of a green screen, pointed at a map and told you what to expect. Maybe I could be a weatherman?
But probably not.
In any event, not only did morning news shows help me dress appropriately for the day, I also learned important things like whether Nick Lache is ready for a comeback and how to burn tummy fat with easy-to-do-around-the-house exercises!
