End of the week!
I went job hunting today after touching on some projects for school. After I pounded pavement downtown in Cincy, I attended an "Open Mic Night" event at the school, where a bunch of students read their poetry. Stacey and Derrick…

How do you store and use your Mansions of Madness?
Here is how I store mine…
Plano boxes in the original box with the minis on the side. This is not great but it at least 'works' for now. When it comes to game time I lug these out and play on a 4ft x4ft piece of felt. The boxes are not great because they take up a lot of room. I am considering making a case for the game.
What do you do?

One Plano box, but without the adequate number of dividers I need to separate out all the different pieces.
Here it is in three boxes. I could get it into two, but I need to keep room available for the CotW minis. I'm not looking forward to renovating my boxing AGAIN, but it's all in the name of love I guess.
So, as it stands, it takes up as much space as my Arkham setup with ALL expansions (three boxes)! A good portion of that space is allocated to figures.
Let this be a warning to any Arkham fans who wish to buy the complete set of monster minis (as if the expense argument wasn't robust enough).
"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.
Looks neat. Nice work!
As if I didn't have enough to consider I went-a-wandering and found this…
I'm not sure that this is a real solution (for storage or in game usage) but they sure look great! Might have to make something like this as its right up my alley.

Consider a real valued function g on an open interval $(a,b)$ which is the derivative of a function continuous on $[a,b]$ at each point of $(a,b)$. The function $g$ has the intermediate value property, so a monotone $g$ will have to be continuous, a general $g$ cannot have simple discontinuities, etc. With such constraints how badly can a derivative behave in terms of continuity, can it get much worse than the derivative of say, $x^2 \sin(1/x) $?
Remember to vote up questions/answers you find interesting or helpful (requires 15 reputation points)
Talking about how bad may be the derivative of an everywhere derivable function on the interval [a,b], the natural example that occurs to my mind is: a Pompeiu derivative, that is, a derivative that vanishes in a dense set (these weird functions, however, constitue a closed linear space of $C^0[a,b]$, while it's not even obvious that they are closed wrto addition!). For an account on the subject you may refer e.g. to the above quoted book by Andrew M. Bruckner Differentiation of real functions: it's also in the CRM series now (here is a preview: http://books.google.it/books?id=fXfEG-F2zJUC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_book_other_versions#v=onepage&q&f=false) For a quick reference, you may also have a look to the wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeiu_derivative (it's me who wrote it ;-) ) |

Of course every continuous function is a derivative, so your question seems like it could be reinterpreted as the characterization problem for derivatives: that is, give "nice" necessary and sufficient conditions on a function $f: [a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ for it to be the derivative of some other function (one-sided, at the endpoints). As others have pointed out, any derivative must be a Darboux function -- i.e., satisfy the conclusion of the Intermediate Value Theorem -- and also a Baire class one function -- i.e., a pointwise limit of continuous functions. The latter implies that the set of discontinuities is meager. A lot of work has been done seeking to understand "how much bigger" the class of Darboux, Baire Class 1 functions is than the class of derivatives. Here are some references: http://www.math.uga.edu/~pete/BrucknerLeonard66.pdf |
Derivatives are like continuous functions in that both have the intermediate value property, but they need not have the extreme value property. Gelbaum and Olmstead, Counterexamples in Analysis, gives as example 3.7 the function
On the other hand, a derivative cannot have too many discontinuities. Lars Olsen at http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=281579&tstart=0 points out that a derivative is a pointwise limit of the continuous functions and hence of Baire class at most 1, and therefore its set of discontinuities is meager (in particular, has dense complement). |
I think it can. In particular, Wikipedia's antiderivative page seems to imply that, for any meagre $F_\sigma$ subset of an open interval, one can construct a function whose derivative is discontinuous on that subset. It also gives some examples. |
In Y. Katznelson and K. Stromberg's paper "Everywhere differentiable, nowhere monotone, functions," Amer. Math. Monthly 81 (1974), no. 4, 349–354, there is a construction, based on somewhat similar ideas to those described in Majer's above mentioned article, whereby for any two disjoint countable sets $A, B \subset \mathbb{R}$ there exists a differentiable function whose derivative equals $1$ on $A$ and is less than $1$ on $B$. So if $A$ and $B$ are both dense in $\mathbb{R}$ then this derivative must be discontinuous at every point of $B$. |
I am wondering the same thing, about 'how' discontinuous a derivative of a function from R to R can be. Specifically, can a derivative be nowhere continuous? Consider the function defined as: F_a(x) = (x-a)^2 sin(1/(x-a)) , for x <> a; 0 , for x=a. It is differentiable everywhere, and it's derivate at x=a is zero, but it's derivative is discontinuous at x=a. Now let G(x) = the sum from n=1 to inf of (1/2)^n F_[(1/2)^n]. This should be a well defined function, which is everywhere differentiable, but whose derivative is discontinuous at x = (1/2)^n for all n in Z. Next, given that the rationals are countable, there exists a bijection b: Z+ to Q. Now let H(x) = the sum from n=1 to inf of 1/2^n F_[b(n)]. This should be a well defined function (it's existence I mean, I don't suggest that it is constructible), which is everywhere differentiable. I am not sure if it can be proven that its derivative is discontinuous on Q? Anyway, I would be very excited to see a proof of either the existence or impossibility of an everywhere differentiable function whose derivative is everywhere discontinuous! Joe |

New Years Resolutions
By: Jim Madalinsky
Updated: January 1, 2013
"Being able to quit smoking. It's tough to do but it's something to try to look forward too," Ricky Smith says.
Some are more complex
Watch my health and do some healthier things and some more exercise and I would to be a very small instrument in bringing peace to our community, our state and even our world," Altoona resident Jim Schoenfelder says.
Either way they're difficult to maintain.
Each year millions of people make New Years Resolutions. The problem is not everyone follows through.
"Once you start getting a couple weeks into it you start slacking and you go back and start your old ways over again and then next year you go out and say the same thing," Altoona resident Ricky Smith says.
Whether it's losing weight, or trying to save some money keeping your New Years Resolution may not be as hard as you think.
Planet Fitness sees a number of people flock to the gym in January.
They say having a gameplan is the key.
"Once we're able to design a plan, get them set on some goals, it takes some of the guess work out and it's more achievable," Personal Trainer Paul Noakes says.
And Noakes says that advice rings true no matter what your resolution is, even if you're not exactly optimistic.
"Usually the exercise part (I struggle with), but I think the other parts I'll be ok with," Schoenfelder says.

This book is a condensed, made-for-guitar version of Nicolas Slonimsky's publication Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns - the book that musicians as diverse as John Coltrane and Frank Zappa used for ideas and inspiration.
Musicians familiar with the original Thesaurus know that it contains a daunting amount of information crammed in it's over 230 pages. But there is a definite symmetry and logic in these Slonimsky examples. What appear to be random patterns are actually mathematical combinations of some or all of the twelve notes in music. As the musician/student plays through the examples, the patterns will unfold and become more obvious.

"The Horace Mann Revue" a musical about the first 125 years of Horace Mann School's history, was performed in Gross Theater this weekend. Almost entirely student-written, the play presents portraits of personalities and accounts of activities from HM's founding in 1887 to today, stories from throughout its history, and about how life outside impacted the school. The legacy left by graduates of the past for students of subsequent generations are portrayed in scenes of alumni from different eras crossing paths on stage, in the way that historical legacy is able to do. The script is simultaneously serious and sardonic, humble and hilarious, celebratory and skeptical, slyly tart and impossibly sweet. In a tone of respect for the past, tempered the reality check of today so accurately in a young person's voice "The Horace Mann Revue" is, above all, astonishingly honest, for it leaves no emotional stone unturned. Over the three days, from April 25 through April 27, 2013 when "The Horace Mann Revue" was performed it was clear that those emotions hit home with the audiences of HM alumni, students, teachers, parents, families and friends. Each performance stirred laughter, awe, stunned silence, and more than a few tears. Finally, after all of the quips, the soliloquies, the inspired singing and dancing, came resounding cheers.

For the first part of the competition students are given a packet containing eight problem sets with ten questions focusing on one topic. In the second part of the competition the students are asked to given extended answers to essay questions. The students work in teams of eight for both parts of the competition.

Earth Day 2013 at Horace Mann School Lower Division's was a day for students to become one with the earth by engaging all of their senses to celebrate the natural world around them: their sight, their hearing, their sense of smell, touch and even taste. But most of all, they engaged their minds. Activities for the day involved all of the students, kindergarten through grade five, in learning experiences designed for each grade. Composting, making planters from recycled materials, and learning the journey of a plastic bottle were among the activities the kindergarteners enjoyed.

Members of the Horace Mann School community have numerous opportunities to learn about the academic, artistic and athletic experiences HM students have through the school year's cycle of music, dance, theater performances and sports events. They can also view displays of student artwork and read the variety of publications students produce. But, more often than not, student explorations in the areas of science and technology take place in classrooms, laboratories or research settings seen by fewer members of the HM community. SciTech, a new tradition at Horace Mann has changed all that by bringing student work in science and technology into the HM public's view. On Friday evening, April 12, 2013, Upper Division students presented some of the fruits of their explorations along with works in progress that demonstrated the breadth and depth of their scientific and technological studies. Displaying their work in the Cohen Dining Commons, the students spoke with visitors about research presented on posters, or demonstrated how their various constructions operated.

"A life is not important except in the impact it has on others," the legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson once said. As the first African American in Major League Baseball, Robinson led a life of impact not only on the sport he played with stellar skill, but on history itself, as his decade in the game also ushered in some of the most significant strides in this country's struggle toward Civil Rights. But, how the impact he made on others impacted Robinson's own life was another part of his story. That story is the subject of "42" a newly-released film on Jackie Robinson's first steps into baseball that brings to cinematic life the fortitude and courage it took for him to make his transformative impact on the society of his day, and that continues to inspire today. On Sunday, April 14, 2013, 225 members of the Horace Mann School community shared the experience of learning about Jackie Robinson's life, struggles and triumphs when they gathered at the Magic Johnson Theater in Harlem to watch the film together. The event was organized by HM parents Domingo Neris and Sharon Joseph of The Black Parent's Union at Horace Mann, which the group co-sponsored with the HM Office of Diversity. HM families, students, faculty members, and administrators were invited to the theater for an afternoon screening of the film, followed by a conversation with a former Negro League ballplayer and a League historian, Gilbert Hernandez Black.

Book Day 2013 featured two short novels: A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Among the "amazing" speakers at Horace Mann that day were Pulitzer Prize-winning book critic and author Michael Dirda, and acclaimed novelist, screenwriter and producer Nicholas Meyer. Both are experts on Conan Doyle and his compelling main character, detective Sherlock Holmes. Other guests to HM who presented workshops throughout the day included a physician, a private investigator, a film director, a novelist, and an internationally-acclaimed magician. Each helped students explore various aspects of the complex character and legend of Conan Doyle-slash-Sherlock Holmes. And, of course, there were the home-grown Horace Mann workshops and seminars organized and presented by HM students and teachers on topics ranging from computer science-based puzzle-solving, to literary and historical analysis, to robotics challenges, to legal debate, to science lab tests of blood stains and fingerprints, to acting out a Holmesian drama, to actually painting "a study in scarlet" in the art studio. Most of the seminars played to standing-room-only audiences. All transformed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writing from its literary legacy into an experience within the life of the mind.

Way back in the early 2000s, before the media adopted today's "Dork is the New Cool" adage, Desiree Akhavan '03 appropriated the idea for herself. Addressing a group of current Horace Mann School students and teachers at the school's recent TEDxChange conference Akhavan recounted the sometimes bumpy ride that took her from awkward adolescent to acclaimed web series star and emerging film innovator. Desiree Akhavan's advice resonated with the Upper Division students who participated in TEDxHoraceMannChange on April 3, 2013, for the theme of the day was "Positive Disruption." It was also the theme for TEDxChange conferences taking place simultaneously at over 200 sites around the globe.

Passionate about their work, and eager to encourage students in their audience to pursue their own passions, four speakers at Horace Mann School's 20th annual Women's Issues Club (WIC) dinner described how they had transformed language and cultural barriers into meaningful connections in their work in the international arena. Three of the speakers were HM alumnae: Deborah Friedman '96; Allison Kraus '96; and Lara Setrakian 2000. The fourth, internationally-honored attorney Dorchen Leidholdt, has a strong connection with Horace Mann School through her work with Sanctuary for Families, an organization for victims of domestic violence that HM students and alumni have supported for about 25 years.

For many Nigerians, the road to transformation and salvation may still be long and tortuous. This is because governments at all levels are ignoring the need to cut costs. This is one issue the Presidential Advisory Council, PAC, harped on before it was dissolved early this year. The council had argued that reducing the size of government would bring down the cost of governance and free money for much needed socio-economic development.
Up to January this year, after a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan, Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, a retired general and the council's chairman, repeated this request, which was a cardinal point on their long list of recommendations put together to place the country on an even keel.
The council had asked the President to cut down the number of ministries, departments and agencies, MDAs, to free resources for other productive uses instead of paying salaries of civil servants alone. There was no doubt that the council was speaking the minds of many Nigerians and the media, including this magazine, which had twice argued along this line.
But it is clear that President Jonathan only listened; he never bought the idea of a leaner and more responsive government. Like his predecessors who ran unwieldy governments, the President proceeded to appoint 42 ministers and 20 special advisers, SAs in addition to the existing bloated MDAs whose staff are now warming up for the new minimum-wage largesse. And with the President apparently unwilling to toe this line of persuasion, governors in most states of the federation are similarly wasting public resources on large armies of commissioners, SAs and assistants ostensibly as aides to advise on virtually every issue under the sun. Indeed, the governors seem to be running a circus featuring men and women (some of them, people of shady characters) who had helped them to power.
Surely, this misguided executive pursuit, as it is, is a sad promotion of sinecures as a directive principle of state policy. For instance, most of the states have an average of between 13 and 29 commissioners and a coterie of SAs from five to about 66! The Imo state governor Rochas Okorocha led the pack with 66 (some say the figure is more than that) SAs/assistants, some of them handling portfolios as ridiculous as SA Igbo Affairs, SA Orlu Zonal Security, SA Lagos Affairs and Chief Comedian of the State! With 17 commissioners and 66 other aides, Imo State has a total of 83 aides working for the governor. Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti State governor, and Sullivan Chime, the former's counterpart in Enugu, are next with 81 aides each. Fayemi has 64 advisers/assistants and 17 commissioners while Chime's team of 81 is made up of 25 commissioners and 56 advisers/assistants.
By these appointments, the governors give the impression that they are exercising powers conferred on them under Section 14 (4) of the constitution which states that the composition of the government of a state or local council (and their agencies) "shall be carried out in such manner as to recognise… the diversity of the people within its area of authority and the need to promote a sense of belonging and loyalty among all the peoples of the federation."
Although this section and Section 192 dealing with the appointment of commissioners are not categorical about the number of such aides, it is envisaged that political players, taking into consideration the resources of the states, would operate within the limits of reason and do what is right, just and defensible.
It is disturbing that governors, like Okorocha, have, in making such ridiculous appointments, unwittingly reduced governance to a pedestrian and irresponsible affair. They have amplified the letter of the constitution to the detriment of its spirit, which they have bastardised and made irrelevant. Indeed, these governors, being clever by half, have allowed the payment of IOUs to their political foot soldiers and godfathers render meaningless the raison d'être of their all-important mandate. With such unwieldy cabinets, it is unfortunate that the states' treasuries are now prone to insensate looting.
We cannot imagine how much this will eventually cost the electorate, especially taxpayers in terms of salaries and emoluments.
One national newspaper put the cost of running our bloated cabinets of about 1,411 members, at both federal and state levels only, at over N64 billion in four years. This is, no doubt, a very conservative estimate that excludes other perks for these politicians. Even then, for a country ravaged by grinding poverty where governments are saying they cannot afford to pay a minimum wage of (N18,000 or a meagre $120 per month), it speaks volumes about a misplacement of priorities by those who are supposed to govern the people. Sometimes we wonder why we, in this part of the world, breed locusts instead of leaders.
We feel really sad that like what obtains at the federal level, governors in the states are engaged in a wanton waste of resources that could be used to save the lives of millions in the throes of poverty and want. We expect legislators in states where these governors, in our view, preside to rise today to check their excesses in this regard. No governor should have more than 10 commissioners and five advisers/assistants as members of his cabinet. The civil service is there with much more experienced hands to assist the government when and where necessary.
It may bear suggestion in the circumstance, that Sections 14(4) and 192 of the constitution should be amended to put a ceiling to the number of commissioners and other aides a state governor should have. The prevailing situation is not only giving room for abuse, it is an opportunity to steal from the till in the name of compensating some political parasites. We are not opposed to creating jobs to absorb the teeming crowd of job seekers in the country but such effort should be well planned and coordinated in collaboration with the private sector.
Governance, we dare say, is a serious business that does not deserve to be trivialised by political comedians who suddenly find themselves in power only to discover that they are bereft of the needed ideas to drive modern governments. They must either shape up or ship out.


text: SBDC cuts ribbon to mark opening of extension office Liz Manring The Cochise College Small Business Development Center celebrated its new extension office at the Douglas Campus with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday afternoon, Aug. 27, among several notable guests.Mexican consul Oscar Antonio de la Torre sliced the green ribbon in front of the administration building, wherein lies the office of Cecilia Rivas Schurmann, the SBDC's international trade specialist. Janice Washington, Director of Arizona's Small Business Development Center Network, made the drive from Tempe to mark the occasion."This is a connect-the-dots moment," she said. "One of many more to come."Though it serves all of Cochise County, Cochise College's Small Business Development Center has been based at the Sierra Vista Campus until its "branch" office in Douglas opened in March. It's the first SBDC office in Arizona to open up a branch office with an international trade focus."The entire network is thrilled to open this office," Washington said. "Mark (Schmitt) and his team caught vision, and we're excited at the possibilities on both sides of the border. We believe this area is ripe for economic development."Schmitt, Director of the Cochise SBDC, said there are ongoing initiatives to bring awareness of international trade to clients not only in Cochise County, but also the entire state of Arizona. As part of those initiatives, the Cochise SBDC has hosted international trade symposiums, open to the public, during the year. Last spring, Robert Mucci, Business Analyst at the SBDC, and Schurmann passed the advanced level certification test in trade knowledge and are now officially Certified Global Business Professionals through the National Association of Small Business International Educators (NASBITE)."I really want to thank the college for making this happen," Washington said. "They really get this, the importance of this kind of outreach." |

Uncooked bagels pass along the production line at the Mr Bagels Ltd. factory, close to the Olympic park in London, U.K., on Thursday, July 19, 2012. The first travel disruption from the Olympics came this week as athletes arriving at Heathrow hit traffic and special "Games Lanes" proved insufficient to compensate for London's overcrowded roads.

A nephew of mine begins his Ph.D. program at Michigan this Fall. I reminded him that he'd need a tweed jacket and recommended a look at the film The Good Shepherd for a professorial example. When I went back to look myself, I was struck by something I hadn't noticed the first time. Costume designer Ann Roth has Sir Michael Gambon, who plays the English professor, in a double breast pocketed odd jacket. Never saw one of those before.
Does one wear it with two pocket squares or leave them both empty?

A Double Breast Pocketed Jacket
8 comments:

This is a bit of an oddball style, to be sure. I've only seen it done one other time.
In the shop, a gentleman came in and ordered an odd jacket, in a very country, check patterned wool, and he wanted double open patch breast pockets. Why he did, I have no idea, but we made the jacket for him. When I saw the finished product I was very much reminded of the old British shooting jackets (its a shame he didn't get bellowed pockets and knickers!).
I thought it was such a unique cut, so for this fall I ordered a small batch of sizes of similar cut for our ready-made selection. I'll email a picture when they come in. Either way, it'll get people to look in the window!
As to whether or not two pocket squares would be required - you got me there! - July 4, 2007 at 1:06:00 PM PDT

I've seen them with two flapped and button pockets but never open patch. Definitely send me photos when yours come in.

I think this jacket is great and solves a dilemma for the modern working man - and the pocket square problem simultaneously! I never wear a pocket square, except in my morning coat for weddings and in my dinner jacket for evening functions. Why not? Because I find that the breast pocket is the best place for my mobile phone. I could, of course, put it in my ticket pocket nestling at the bottom inside of my jackets - but after almost losing it while on the London Underground, I have never repeated that experiment; and besides the breast pocket is just so much more convenient. So, with a mobile phone occupying the breast pocket there isn't room for a pocket square (the reason, of course, that I can wear a pocket square in my morning coat & dinner jacket is that one always switches the phone off during weddings and dinners, and therefore one can stow it in another, less accessible, pocket).
Therefore, I think a new dress etiquette could evolve using this jacket - pocket square in the left breast pocket, while the phone goes in the right breast pocket. While this might look a bit unbalanced, I personally think that two pocket squares would be a step too far.
My only wish is that it could be done up in a slightly more modern tweed - the example in the photograph looks pretty ancient - like the tweeds Hackett use for their sports jackets. - July 5, 2007 at 4:28:00 AM PDT

The Marmath explanation is completely correct.Altough rarely seen and worn by old styled people the double breast open patch pocketed odd jacket worn by the english professor is a typical brithish country jacket. In this kind of jacket , only the left breast pocket was devoted to the pocket square whereas the right one was utilized for keeping some pleasure items of a country gentleman such as cigars , cigarette-case, pipe or one or more ink- pens etc. Indeed this was the original use for at the beginning of the XX century ,during the Edward II period when country dressing started to diffuse also in the cities.
Of course today the right breast pocket seems the ideal place where to put the mobile phone , mainly in the case of non smokers gentlemen. - July 5, 2007 at 11:39:00 AM PDT
- Will said...
That's the most autrhoritative explanation I've heard. Thank you.

Sorry for the misprint, due to the computer writing. The king of England at the beginning of the XX century , whom I was referring to in my post, is Edward VII (reign:1901-1910).

There is a picture of just such a jacket in Schoeffler and Gale Esquire's 'Encyclopeia of 20th Century Men's Fashions' (page 50). It is from a 1926 advertisement for a semi-Norfolk style coat called the 'Oxford'. This suggests it was, or was promoted, as a campus style. Protective pocket flaps would not be necessary on campus whereas the open patch pockets would be ideal for pens and bits of lab equipment of various shapes and sizes.

So there is. Thanks for pointing it out.

David Ferrer, the top seed at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha this week, might have dug himself a figurative hole by dropping the first set to the qualifier Dustin Brown in their first-round match Tuesday.
But Ferrer carved out a literal hole early in the second set. Backpedaling to get in position to hit a backhand, Ferrer dragged his right heel into the court, somehow breaking the surface of the Plexicushion hard court and creating a small pothole behind the baseline about three inches wide and the roughly the shape of Switzerland.
Ferrer, known for his relentlessly grinding defense, did not notice immediately that he had ground down the court itself, and continued the point, which he lost one shot later on a Brown winner. His continuing footwork left a small trail of asphalt spreading from the gash.
Play was suspended as the hole was stared at by a group of officials, then patched with a light brown glue-like substance. To keep the crowd entertained, the on-court emcee Andrew Krasny led ballboys and ballgirls in a talent contest that featured singing, Gangnam Style dancing, and even magic tricks.
Play resumed 60 minutes later, after both players had tested the patchwork court with uncertain hands and shoes. The court held up for the remainder of the match, although Brown's lead did not.
Brown was broken three points after play resumed to go down by 3-1 in the second set, and was unable to ever wrest momentum back from Ferrer in the second act of the match, eventually losing, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2.
It was not the first time that unusual court issues have delayed a match in Doha. During last year's final between Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gael Monfils, condensation from fog caused the white lettering on the court to become slippery, and play was delayed for more than an hour while the court was dried.
The scene Tuesday was reminiscent of the delay experienced by Ferrer during a match at the 2011 United States Open. After two days of rain, Ferrer was playing Andy Roddick in a fourth-round match on Louis Armstrong Stadium when water began to bubble up from a small crack in the court behind the baseline. When a repair effort was unable to stop moisture from continuing to seep onto the court, an incredulous Roddick walked off the court. The match resumed on the smaller Court 13 and was eventually won by Roddick.
Roddick, who retired at the 2012 United States Open, weighed in on Twitter with his thoughts on Tuesday's moment of déjà vu: "Everyone keeps tweeting me about a hole in a court at Doha tournament …… #moveittocourt13″

The discrimination was filed by four black women who claimed the company gave preferential treatment to Latinos.
U.S. District Court records show Howard Industries will pay $1.3 million into a settlement fund to be paid to possibly as many as 5,000 non-Hispanic individuals who applied for jobs at the company between March 2003 and Aug. 28, 2008.
Also, within nine months after the settlement, the company will hire at least 70 of the individuals who had applied for jobs, according to court documents. Howard Industries, according to court records, entered the settlement without admitting any wrongdoing.
The Hattiesburg American reports (http://hatne.ws/RQAzfX ) that U.S. District Court Judge Keith Starrett entered an order Oct. 5 outlining the processes involved in distributing the settlement. A final fairness hearing is scheduled for Jan. 23.
The lawsuit claimed that one of the plaintiffs applied for a job at the Howard Industries electrical transformer plant in Laurel, Miss., every three to six months beginning in 2002, but wasn't offered a position until after the 2008 raid. The other plaintiffs made similar allegations.
Immigration agents detained nearly 600 illegal immigrants during the raid at the sprawling plant. Most of them were deported, though a handful faced identity theft charges. The company was fined $2.5 million in February 2011 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to violate immigration laws.
The lawsuit claimed Howard Industries not only knew it was hiring illegal immigrants, but instructed some on how to get false identities and concealed the fact that hundreds of employees were illegal immigrants. Federal authorities made similar allegations against the company.
Howard Industries repeatedly denied knowing that illegal immigrants worked at the plant, and blamed the situation on its former personnel director, Jose Humberto Gonzalez. Gonzalez was the only company executive charged in the case and pleaded guilty in December 2009. He was sentenced last March to six months house arrest and five years on probation for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants. His fine was $4,000.
Howard Industries has said the illegal immigrants used fake papers to circumvent numerous identification checks the company uses. Prosecutors said the company knowingly hired illegal immigrants.
Some of the workers were given jobs even after the Social Security Administration told the company that their Social Security numbers were not valid, prosecutors said. The same allegation is made in the civil lawsuit.
Gonzalez admitted to similar allegations when he pleaded guilty.

10 Budget Collectibles That Can Turn a Profit
3. Maps
The world may be a finite place from a geographic perspective, but national borders have changed over centuries and continue to change today. Not even to mention the maps from the golden age of exploration that show sea monsters in the oceans as legitimate biological illustrations. Old maps showing former countries can be a collector's dream, particularly if they're in good shape.
"Maps and prints will increase in value because they are even harder to keep safe, and they work well as decorations," says Duval. He adds that vintage maps can also be sold to companies to produce reproductions.
4. Signage
If you've watched any episode of "American Pickers" on television, you will know they are always in the market for unique signage, particularly if the company no longer exists. "Interest in the past keeps vintage decor popular for restaurants and retail interiors," says Robert McNellis, an expert in vintage antiques and collectibles. He says that signs from companies such as Pan Am and Wang Laboratories (computers from the 1970s), and from gas companies and restaurants that no longer exist, are highly collectible.
Did you know the Enron "E" outside of its corporate headquarters was sold (at bankruptcy auction) for near $44,000 to a store owner who thought it would be a good gimmick for his showroom floor?
5. Vintage record albums
Remember all of those old albums you couldn't wait to get rid of when cassettes first came on the scene and then CDs? Well, if you packed them and stored them so they are in good condition rather than selling them at a yard sale for 25 cents or throwing them away, you might be in luck. The new generation loves collecting and playing vintage music from its original recording. "Particular albums with unusual packaging that include ephemera like posters, tickets and or photographs are especially collectible," says McNellis.
6. Turntables
If you don't have a turntable, then the album is pretty much worthless. That's what makes turntables in such high demand for music collectors. "Because vinyl is making a big comeback, record labels are pressing new music on vinyl again and it's very trendy to play vinyl," says McNellis. "These turntables are in demand by young people because it's a more interesting way to play the music." McNellis says a turntable could be worth thousands of dollars to a collector.

Gamebridge has announced it's bringing DSiWare game creation software Petit Computer to North America this summer.The package serves as an introduction to the BASIC programming language that's powered games for decades. If you're not artistically inclined you can use the 512 pre-packed sprites and 256 backgrounds, or using the DSi's touch screen to draw your own.After you've finished coding and tweaking you can share your creations online with other users by generating QR codes using a PC or Mac. This way you'll be able to pick at others' code to see how they've created their titles, a feature we can see being very popular.Petit Computer is out on DSiWare and in the eShop later this year. You can find out more at the Petit Computer site. Want to see the sort of thing you can create with it? Here's a DSiWare rendition of Out Run:

If you can wait until Spring, I think you will see lease bonuses move into the $5,000. range and 20% royalty. Hey, what is another 90-120 days to maybe get another $1,800. per acre. If you are getting a written drilling commitment, what's the rush? Look around you, each and every county has seen large lease bonus increases, always after the beginning of a new year.

Does anyone know if there is a possibility that I can do something to keep my EHD from starting a new backup when I unplug and replug it? I have it hooked up to my laptop and sometimes unhook it to take the laptop somewhere. When I reconnect it Mozy starts over.

Ehd And Mozy Everytime I unplug the EHD backup starts over
Posted 25 January 2011 - 08:36 PM
I ran into the same problem. If you disconnect the ehd, stop the Mozy back up first. It's a pain, but it will keep the backup from starting over. When you plug it back into the laptop, start Mozy back up again. Good Luck!
Posted 25 January 2011 - 08:37 PM
I think the only thing you can do is pause your backup, then unplug your EHD, then plug it back in, then restart your backup.
The reason it starts over is because it thinks the files are new. Mozy isn't really designed to accommodate EHDs, so that's the best workaround I found.

i have used mozy and my ehd for a few years...just make sure to suspend the backup by checking that on the bottom right where that icon is.... do you see the suspend choice..check it and then uncheck it when you plug your ehd back in...alternatively i think you can shut down your computer as well...
Posted 26 January 2011 - 07:14 AM
Great question Karen, I just got my Mozy all started and completed the initial backup and I haven't unplugged my EHD yet so I probably would have had the same issue when I did!

I'm asking becuase these are names I've heard of rather than listened to. But theyu sound like they're worth the $30
sorry sir.. wish i could be jealous, but I too am unfamiliar with these folks. However at the bottom of that page it said: you may also like "Prince of Darkness" some jazz thing taken from the name on the first track of my very favorite Miles Davis album 'Sorcerer' You should check it out.
live Ennio Morricone is worth 30 bucks alone.
That's half of Neu! and half of Cluster right there. Together, they make half of Harmonia. Moebius' solo work from the late-70's/early-80's is great stuff! I'm jealous but I'm nowhere near Adelaide. Definitely listen to some Neu! and Cluster, if you can.
Dude. I'm insanely jealous. Living legends.
