As I watched television on the evening of Nov. 6, I was hopeful. I wasn't watching the sitcoms, dramas or reality TV ... I was watching the election coverage. Initially, as the states declared their choices, I was optimistic that the candidate whose stand was closer to biblical teachings was going to claim victory. But as each of us is aware, victory was elusive, and by midnight the candidate who opposed many of God's teachings, was once again America's commander and chief. With complete honesty, I felt sad, even a bit anxious. What was going to happen to my country, the great country that was created on biblical tenets?
As I retired to bed that night I had to lecture myself for my brief 'pity party.' Fully aware that God is cognizant of everything that happens, why was I alarmed? Knowing that His Holy Word not only speaks of, but warns of earth's worsening conditions, why did I fret? (Prophecy) Hadn't I placed my faith and trust in the One who knows the very number of hairs on my head (Luke 12:7), and every thought buried deep within my heart (Psalm 139:1-3)?
Suddenly I was clam, having reminded myself that God, who loved me so much that He gave His Son for my sins ("... while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8) is, and always has been, at the helm of civilization directing its path according to His divine will! With that blessed knowledge, sleep came quickly!
Those who awoke Wednesday morning, Nov. 7, and became disheartened over the election's results, can take comfort in knowing that God was fully aware of which candidate would win. As America morphs into a godless nation, God sees! As the tension in the Middle East intensifies, God is aware! As violence spreads across the globe, God is watching! As America's morality is collapsing, God knows!
As earthquakes and hurricanes increase in number and magnitude, as apostasy infiltrates churches, and Relativism (belief that little, if any, difference exists between right and wrong) feeds man's ego, we see the foreshadowing of the dark, cataclysmic days of the Tribulation Period (seven continuous years of dire catastrophes and misery). Christians need not fear. The Great Creator who spoke into existence the spectacular universe, the magnificent animal kingdom, and formed man in His very own image is in control!
So, does it matter who claimed the presidency or that ungodly men control the government? No! God is in control! Does it matter if we face increasingly difficult and ungodly times? No! God is in control!
So should we worry? Only if we are without Jesus! "... whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

no, see the dimensions must be 1,1,1 or 1,1,2 or 1,2,2 or 2,2,2because 1≤a≤b≤c≤nthat's 4 different combinations. however what im now querying of the lecturer is that for each n it's not one of the combinations, there are indeed all of those packages (so for n=2, 4 packages.)any idea on why the combinations take those patterns? i mean i can see it but unless i can prove it.. it's no use to us :s so for combinations, forn any n.Number of packages = (n)(n+1)(n+2)/6 or alternative (n+2)C3 [(n+2)Choose 3]
So for n = 2, we have dimensions 1,1,1 or 2,1,1 or 1,2,1 or 1,1,2. Is that what you mean?
In the case that there are x many packets with the dimensions bounded as suggested above...I've been looking at the number of packets there are.. e.g. each x for n.n=2, x=4n=3, x=10n=4, x=20n=5, x=35This sequence by the pyramidal numbers...Another thing I noticed, the number of occurences of each size per set.In other words, for instance with n=2,out of all the combinations, the number 1 appears 6 times, the number 2 also 6 times.for each n, the number of occurences is the same (for that n).the number of occurences (y) is as follows:n=2, y=6n=3, y=10n=4, y=15n=5, y=21This sequence being the triangular numbers..Can anyone give me a reason as to why this is the case?
looking at it again.. (and again, etc) i'm thinking it suggests the number of parcels is the number of combinations of dimensions (a,b,c) with the bound that is set as n.. I'm going to email him now to see if that's correct.. any suggestions if that is the case?
Since your professor has given such an erroneous question, I would tell him the answer is that the packages cannot be combined into parcels, and therefore he must send them out separately!
Thats the thing.. we really do not understand! That is literally what we've been given..
I have two questions? Is n different for each package? How many packages are there?I don't really get what you are trying to say. But it seems interesting.
Hey,we've been set an assignment in pure maths and have no clue how to go about it.."A student on a year abroad buys a number of presents and wants to send them home. The goods are already wrapped up as individual packets: by a curious chance there is an integer n such that there is precisely one packet of depth a, width b and length c, for each set of integers (a,b,c) with 1<=a<=b<=c<=nThe student could send each packet home separately, but it is cheaper (and mathematically more interesting) to make the packets up into parcels. To avoid breakages, the parcels must have no empty spaces (the country is experiencing a shortage of bubble wrap). In other words, a parcel of size pxqxr will have volume pqr that is equal to the sum of the packets it contains. Assuming that it does not matter how large the parcels are, how many parcels does the student need?"Seriously we're so unsure what to do :sEdit/Delete Message

There's no good evidence that statins cause or trigger ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. However, there have been reports of people who have developed ALS while taking statins.
ALS is a serious neurological disorder that causes disease and death of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscles. ALS may begin with muscle twitching, weakness in an arm or leg, or changes in speech (dysarthria). Eventually, it affects the ability to control the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe.
Statins are medications prescribed for the treatment of high cholesterol. These medications can sometimes cause muscle pain (myalgia), muscle weakness and rarely severe muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis). But these occur as a result of direct muscle damage, not damage to nerve cells.

The University of California (UC) System consists of 9 campuses. The UC System is world renowned for its academic excellence and research emphasis. The UC System gives the highest priority for transfer admissions to community college transfer students!
UC basically only accepts transfer students as a junior level with a minimum of 60 UC transferable units completed prior to transfer. Transfer students should complete IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum), if applicable based on the major. IGETC is NOT an admissions requirement. Students may not use AP credit to satisfy the critical thinking portion of IGETC. Consult with a counselor for use of AP credit.
Students transferring to the UC System must complete the following requirements prior to transfer with a grade of C or better:
Students should also complete lower-division major requirements for their specific major prior to transfer. The minimum grade point average (GPA) used to select transfer students for admission depends on campus and major desired.
The UC system has a one-month period for filing admission applications.
*Campuses vary as to whether they will accept winter/spring applications.
Applications are available at the Counseling Department counter in the Student Services building. Students are encouraged to apply on-line.
Beginning with fall 2001, all UC undergraduate admission applicants may access (4 weeks after submission of application) an application status Web site. Students will be able confirm that their application was filed for specified campuses and majors and to verify other critical data and information was received.
Students may access information about campuses accepting applications after the close of the filing period online.
UC system catalogs are available for student use in the Career Center or students may access the UC campus directory to obtain additional information.

It's hard to quibble with TCU's first season in the Big 12.
The Horned Frogs have clinched a winning overall record, they've earned a bowl berth for the eighth consecutive season, and they won at Texas for the first time in 45 years.TCU sold out every game in the renovated Amon G. Carter Stadium, including today's 11 a.m. season finale against No. 11 Oklahoma.But there's one glaring omission marring this feisty inaugural season in the new league.The Frogs (7-4, 4-4 in the Big 12) have yet to win a conference game at home. They have one last chance, on the day TCU salutes 21 seniors, including Kenny Cain, Blaize Foltz, James Fry, Matthew Tucker and Skye Dawson. The group is 43-7."You've got to make it about the ballgame," said TCU coach Gary Patterson, who is 10-1 in regular-season finales at TCU. "It's about beating Oklahoma. I'm really excited to see their families, I'm really excited to see them walk out. Kelsey [Patterson] is going to have tears in her eyes when she hugs them in the tunnel, but the bottom line to it is we're here to beat Oklahoma. We haven't won a conference game at home. It's time for us to do that and we're playing against probably the best team in the conference right now."The Sooners (9-2, 7-1) are riding a two-game offensive surge that has seen quarterback Landry Jones throw for 1,054 yards and nine touchdowns."Some people don't throw that in a season and they've done it in two games," Patterson said on his Thursday radio show. "I asked the chancellor if I could take a sabbatical and he told me no. I wanted to watch it myself instead of being in the middle of it."Oklahoma's defense statistically is one of the Big 12's best. The Sooners lead the league in pass defense and are fourth in overall and scoring defense despite allowing 131 points in the last three games. They can still claim the Big 12 title with a win and a Kansas State loss to Texas tonight.Even if KSU wins, OU is likely to earn a BCS bowl berth with a win today. Patterson compared the Sooners' defensive style to his own, in which there's a premium put on speed and suffocation."They make you make bad decisions because they are so fast and they're so talented. There is no margin for error," he said. "They try to suffocate you with the blitz and we have to have some answers for that. There's a reason why they've won. There's a reason why they could play in a BCS game. They're a better football team than they were five or six weeks ago when they got beat by Kansas State. They've played for a lot of championships. They understand the deal. We've been here before, too. We understand how to win championships. You've got to have a swagger to you; they have a swagger to them."TCU's swagger has returned a bit with last week's win at Texas. A win today would alter the perception of the Frogs' first season in the league. By any measure, win or lose, TCU has answered critics who expected hard times in the new league. Considering the more than 20 players TCU has lost because of injury and issues before and during the season -- including starters at quarterback, running back, linebacker and defensive line -- it's an impressive first season in the Big 12."We have so many young freshmen playing, it's going to be amazing the next couple of years watching them grow up," senior tight end Corey Fuller said. "They've been doing a phenomenal job with what they've accomplished this year. What he's [Patterson] done with these freshmen is amazing. You can see it on the field; he's done a great job."A win today would not only register the Frogs' first Big 12 home win, but would also give Patterson at least eight wins for the eighth consecutive season. In TCU's year of change and turmoil, a 2-0 finish against the pillars of the conference, Texas and Oklahoma, would put this season among TCU's most impressive."Everything we went through and we're 7-4 right now, [a win] would be like a 13-0 season," Patterson said. "If you really look at what this team has done, everything we've gone through."Stefan Stevenson817-390-7760Twitter: @FollowtheFrogsTCU is 10-1 under coach Gary Patterson in regular-season finales, including 6-1 at Amon G. Carter Stadium. The Horned Frogs are 2-3 at home this season, including three consecutive Big 12 losses at home.

1 Goodbye, seniors TCU says goodbye to 21 seniors, including 11 on scholarship. This class of seniors is 43-7 and can slip past the 2010 class for second-most victories with two more wins.
2 'Protecting the Carter' The Horned Frogs had won 28 of their previous 29 games at Amon G. Carter Stadium until losing three consecutive Big 12 home games. TCU is trying to win its first Big 12 home game today in the regular-season finale.
3 Holding Stills With so many outstanding receivers in the conference, Oklahoma's Kenny Stills is sometimes overlooked. But he and teammate Justin Brown are two of the best in the league.
4 Field position Both TCU and OU rank in the top seven nationally in punt return average. The Sooners have returned two punts for touchdowns, and Roy Finch returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score. TCU's Skye Dawson is the only player in the Big 12 to rank in the top three in both punt and kickoff returns.
5 Jones vs. Boykin Senior Landry Jones owns most of Oklahoma's passing records, including a 38-10 record as a starter, and will finish his career as one of the most prolific passers in NCAA history. Trevone Boykin is starting his eighth game for TCU.

SummaryBrassinosteroids (BRs) are essential hormones for plant growth and development. BRs regulate gene expression by inducing dephosphorylation of two key transcription factors, BZR1 and BZR2/BES1, through a signal transduction pathway that involves cell-surface receptors (BRI1 and BAK1) and a GSK3 kinase (BIN2). How BR-regulated phosphorylation controls the activities of BZR1/BZR2 is not fully understood. Here, we show that BIN2-catalyzed phosphorylation of BZR1/BZR2 not only inhibits DNA binding, but also promotes binding to the 14-3-3 proteins. Mutations of a BIN2-phosphorylation site in BZR1 abolish 14-3-3 binding and lead to increased nuclear localization of BZR1 protein and enhanced BR responses in transgenic plants. Further, BR deficiency increases cytoplasmic localization, and BR treatment induces rapid nuclear localization of BZR1/BZR2. Thus, 14-3-3 binding is required for efficient inhibition of phosphorylated BR transcription factors, largely through cytoplasmic retention. This study demonstrates that multiple mechanisms are required for BR regulation of gene expression and plant growth.

SummaryPlant steroid hormones, known as brassinosteroids (BRs), signal through a plasma membrane localized receptor kinase BRI1. We identified bes1, a semidominant suppressor of bri1, which exhibits constitutive BR response phenotypes including long and bending petioles, curly leaves, accelerated senescence, and constitutive expression of BR-response genes. BES1 accumulates in the nucleus in response to BRs. BES1 is phosphorylated and appears to be destabilized by the glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) BIN2, a negative regulator of the BR pathway. These results establish a signaling cascade for BRs with similarities to the Wnt pathway, in which signaling through cell surface receptors leads to inactivation of a GSK-3 allowing accumulation of a nuclear protein that regulates target gene expression.

Regulation of brassinosteroid signaling

Jianming Li and Hua Jin
AbstractBoth animal and plant steroids mainly rely on transcriptional factors to bring about specific physiological responses; however, the signaling mechanisms that regulate these transcriptional factors are different. Steroid binding inside an animal cell directly alters the transcriptional activity of intracellular steroid receptors, whereas brassinosteroid (BR) binding to a cell surface receptor activates a phosphorylation-mediated signaling cascade that changes the amount, subcellular localization, and/or DNA-binding activity of a family of novel transcription factors. Genetic and molecular studies conducted over the past several years have uncovered several crucial BR signaling components that have dramatically increased our understanding of the signaling process of plant steroid hormones. In this review, we discuss the biochemical mechanisms of these signaling proteins for regulating the activity of the membrane BR receptor and the transduction of the BR signal from the cell surface to the nucleus.

Research of the molecular events underlying brassinosteroid (BR) signaling is emerging as a new paradigm for studying plant hormone signal transduction pathways. Two recent reports have shown that the BZR1–BES1 family of proteins is a class of novel plant-specific transcription factors that directly bind to and regulate BR-responsive genes, thus filling in key details of the link between hormonal signal transmission in the cytoplasm and transcriptional status change in the nucleus.

Amber-Pocasset head baseball coach Cheyenne Graham had a short motivational speech for his team in the dugout after the fourth inning of the state semifinal game against Roff.
"Two words: Fort Cobb," Graham said to his team. "There's a lot of baseball left to be played."
The Panthers were leading the game 9-2 at the time, and those words served as a reminder to the veteran leaders on the team not to let off the gas.
"Two springs ago, we gave up a nine-run lead in the fifth game of a regional, and it's kind of haunted us and fueled us," Graham said. "It's just our reminder that it's still baseball."
The team took heed to their coach's words, and went on to beat the Roff Tigers 14-5 to advance to the state championship game, where they will face Rattan on Saturday afternoon for a shot at a state title.
"I'm not shocked that we made it this far," Graham said. "We always knew coming in that if we played well, we had a chance to win the whole thing."
The game was never really in doubt after that fourth inning, although Roff did manage four runs in the last two innings of the game; a last-ditch effort to climb out of the deficit Am-Po had put it in.
While the Panthers gave up the opportunity to end the game an inning early by run-rule, they still got the victory behind well-timed hits and a complete game by starting pitcher Trey Winfrey.
Winfrey allowed five runs on ten hits, striking out four batters. It wasn't always a lights-out performance, but he made the pitches he needed to and the defense made the plays when it needed them to get the win.
Chase Johnson was Amber-Pocasset's leading offensive performer. Johnson went 4-for-4 at the plate, and was intentionally walked once.
He finished the game with four RBIs, and nearly hit a home run in the second inning, hitting a ball off the outfield wall.
Ryan Cauthen went 1-for-3, but had two RBIs and was hit by a pitch once and walked once.
Denton Lowe had two RBIs on 2-for-4 hitting, and Josh Jackson and Jeff Jackson each had one RBI.
Graham said the patience and discipline of the Amber-Pocasset hitters is what allowed them to have so much success in the game, and throughout the season.
"We swing the bat really well when we swing at strikes," Graham said. "It's been our goal this season to get in pitch counts. If we can't barrel one early, then we force them to throw pitches."
Graham said this kind of success in the state tournament is something he had personally been looking forward to for several years.
"For the last several years, I've driven up here and watched the state tournament as a coach and thought 'you know, one of these days I really hope I can be there'," Graham said. "Everything we've worked for is coming up to Saturday,
"These kids, nothing they do shocks me. They work hard, and put the time in. A bunch of good young men that are putting it all together."
The class A state championship game will be played at Palmer Field in Dolese Park in Oklahoma City on Saturday, May 5 at 12 p.m.

Repo Runs: Evidence from the Tri-Party Repo Market |
July 2011 Number 506 Revised March 2012 |
JEL classification: E44, E58, G24 |
Authors: Adam Copeland, Antoine Martin, and Michael Walker This paper provides a detailed description of the U.S. tri-party repurchase market, a key source of short-term funding for securities dealers and a market that played an important role in the recent financial crisis. The institutional details of this market are first explained. Then, using confidential data from July 2008 to January 2010, we provide a quantitative account of the tri-party repurchase market during the financial crisis. We document that the level of haircuts and the amount of funding were surprisingly stable in this market, even for securities dealers who suffered adverse shocks. A notable exception is Lehman Brothers, for which we document a sudden and rapid decrease in collateral financed in the tri-party repurchase market. The stability of haircuts in the tri-party repurchase market contrasts with evidence from the bilateral repurchase market, in which haircuts increased sharply (as shown in Gorton and Metrick [2011]).

The Utah Utes' offensive line remains a work in progress, the special teams play is as suspect as ever and the run game was surprisingly ineffective against BYU.
But despite all the areas that need work, the Utah Utes (2-1) maintain they are in good shape as they head into Pac-12 play this Saturday at Arizona State.

There is nothing like a win over a fierce rival to give a team a sunny outlook.
"Winning a game like that definitely gives you some momentum," quarterback Jon Hays said of the Utes' 24-21 win over No. 25 BYU Saturday. "Hopefully we can take that to Arizona. The last couple of days we've been on a high."
Adding to the Utes' rejuvenation was Saturday's upset of USC by Stanford. As bad as the Utes' loss to Utah State was, the Utes could take some solace in knowing it wouldn't affect their Pac-12 race.
USC doesn't have such a wound salve. The race is suddenly very interesting, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham admitted.
"It does change the dynamic of things," he said. "It puts a much different spin on it. Everybody assumed SC would run the table. It does make it interesting and we'll see how things play out."
As for the Utes, they have plenty of areas where they must improve before they can think about contending for any title.
The Utes' offensive line still needs work and the run game was "abysmal," in the words of Whittingham, after the team managed just 49 yards on 35 carries Saturday.
Veteran John White should be back this week after missing the BYU game with an ankle injury, but the Utes need production from other players, too.

On a positive note, quarterback Jon Hays played as well as the Utes could have hoped against BYU, going 18-for-27 for 196 yards and two touchdowns.
Unlike last year, when the offense got stagnant with Hays running the show, the Utes feel they can take more shots downfield this season.
"He is as tough as nails," Whittingham said. "He took some shots mentally and physically. The offensive line played better, but he makes them better with his ability to move around a bit."
Hays said he is up for that challenge of taking more shots downfield since he already feels more confident this year than he ever did in 2011.
"Last year I handled the offense as best as I could, but I kind of got thrown into the fire," Hays said. "This year I got to work with [offensive coordinator Brian Johnson] in spring and fall and he came in and did a good job handling me."
Defensively, the Utes' line played well against BYU while the secondary should get a boost with the return of safety Brian Blechen this week. Blechen has missed the last three games while serving a suspension for breaking team rules.
He'll give an added boost to a team already feeling better about its outlook.
"As disappointing a game as we had two weeks ago, there was no drop-off in the way this team handled business," Whitingham said. "As a coach that is what you want."
Now it's time to handle the business of the Pac-12.

LED Coffee Table With 4-Person Pong
This homebrew LED coffee table is packing 65 microcontrollers and 4,092 LEDs. Why? So you can play 4-person co-op Pong of course. Note: That's a mirror under the table and not a secret passage to Wiretown.
We'd seen designs with interactive LEDs that responded to objects on the table, and they usually had around 400 LEDs...so we decided to up the ante with 10 times as many. We built the table and then decided that simple interactions were not enough, and went to work on a full-fledged game. 4-way multiplayer pong, in fact. Being geeks, we were obligated to have the game controlled using 4 Atari 2600 controllers (circa 1977). Four players sit around the table and cooperatively try to get the highest score. Score increases with each paddle hit and a new ball is introduced on hits 5, 10, 20, 30, etc.
Speaking from experience, it's never a good idea to introduce new balls into a 4-way. I've been there before, and let me tell you: when the # poles > # holes, things get awkward. Read: The new guy accused me of staring.
Hit the jump for two really awful videos of the table in action.

Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities Overview >> Tennessee >> Knoxville Knoxville, Tennessee Photos courtesy of the Knoxville Jewish Archives
Over the past several decades, the Jewish South has been transformed, as generations of Jewish merchants have given way to Jewish professionals and executives. Knoxville, with its long history as a small Jewish community in East Tennessee and its recent emergence as a part of the Jewish sunbelt boom, perfectly encapsulates these demographic changes. In this way, the story of Jewish Knoxville is the story of the Jewish South writ large.
The history of Jews in East Tennessee would have begun a century earlier than it did if Sir Alexander Cuming had his way. A Scottish adventurer, Cuming hatched an impractical scheme to colonize 300,000 European Jewish families in East Tennessee. Far from a humanitarian or proto-Zionist, Cuming hoped to enrich himself from this money-making venture. He brought his idea to London Jews, who failed to express much enthusiasm for the plan. King George II didn't like it either, and nothing became of Cuming's scheme. The history of Jewish life in the area around Knoxville thus unfolded according to the general pattern of Jewish settlement in the southern interior.
Founded in 1796, Knoxville was the capital of the newly admitted western state of Tennessee for its first twenty years. Located in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains, Knoxville never developed large-scale slavery or plantation agriculture. For this reason, the area was strongly Unionist during the Civil War, and offered little resistance when the Union occupied Knoxville.
The Civil War was a catalyst in the development of Knoxville's Jewish community. On the eve of the war, there were seven Jewish families living among Knoxville's 3,000 residents. One of these was A. Schwab, a merchant who emigrated from France sometime before 1844 and settled in Tennessee by the early 1850s. In 1861, his 18-year-old son, Joseph, died while fighting for the Confederacy in Virginia. Schwab wanted to bury his son in Knoxville, but there was no Jewish cemetery in town. Solomon Lyon and Joseph Mayer, two Jewish merchants who owned a store together, donated a small parcel of land for Schwab's burial and for use as a Jewish cemetery. In 1864, Knoxville Jews established a Hebrew Benevolent Society to oversee the cemetery and care for local Jews in need. This group soon began to hold worship services and eventually grew into Knoxville's first Jewish congregation.
After the Civil War, a growing number of Jews settled in Knoxville. Louis Gratz, a German immigrant who lived in the North and volunteered for the Union Army, was stationed in East Tennessee at the end of the war. While in Knoxville, he fell in love with the daughter of a prominent local family, married her, and remained in town. Gratz was a lawyer and also owned a grocery store. He twice served as city attorney and was elected mayor of North Knoxville four times starting in the 1890s. Gratz's wife was not Jewish and he had little contact with the burgeoning Jewish community in Knoxville. Gratz's life reflected the freedom and opportunities available to Jews; this included to freedom to leave the Jewish community.
Gratz was just one of several Jews who found their way to Knoxville after the war. In the late 1860s, Bavarian immigrant Julius Ochs and family moved from Cincinnati to Knoxville, where they had lived briefly in the 1850s. Julius tried various business ventures which usually resulted in failure. His son Adolph started working as a paperboy for the Knoxville Chronicle, and worked his way up to being a journeyman typesetter by the time he was seventeen. In 1877, when he was only nineteen, Adolph moved to Chattanooga, and borrowed $250 to buy a controlling share of the Chattanooga Times, which became very successful under his stewardship. Ochs later married Effie Wise, the daughter of the famous rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise. In 1896, he purchased the New York Times and built it into one of the most successful and respected newspapers in the world.
Eastern European Jews began to arrive in Knoxville in the late 19th century. Some came as peddlers sent by the wholesaling giant, the Baltimore Bargain House, which guided newly arrived immigrants to peddling routes in the country's hinterlands. By 1880, so many Jewish peddlers were traveling through Knoxville that the newly formed Ladies Hebrew Benevolent Auxiliary raised money to help house and feed them. Some of these peddlers decided to settle in Knoxville; a number opened small stores downtown around Vine Street.
Another turning point in the Knoxville's Jewish history took place in 1888, when Max Arnstein decided to stop in Knoxville, rather than continuing on to Birmingham, his planned destination. Arnstein had earlier owned a store in Anderson, South Carolina, and had heard of the tremendous economic opportunity that existed in Birmingham. On his way to Alabama, he stopped in Knoxville for the night. He liked the town and noticed several stores for rent. Casting his lot in East Tennessee, Arnstein opened a dry goods store called M.B. Arnstein & Company, which eventually grew into a hugely successful department store specializing in high end goods. In 1905, he built a seven-story building in downtown Knoxville to house his store and business. Arnstein became an important civic leader and philanthropist whose family supported both Knoxville and its small Jewish community.
In the early 20th century, this Knoxville Jewish community was made up of a handful of often large families that were intermarried with each other. The Robinsons were one such family. Six brothers came from Russia before World War I, settling in Knoxville because they had an uncle already living there. One brother, S.H., opened a feed store, while the rest went into the junk business. Another brother, Frank Robinson, died in a horse and wagon accident while peddling in East Tennessee. They brought another brother, A.J., from Rhode Island to be the shochet (kosher slaughterer) for the growing Orthodox population. A.J. opened a small kosher butcher shop in downtown Knoxville. Max Robinson returned to Russia after World War I and brought their mother back to Knoxville.
With their growing population, Knoxvile Jews began to build religious institutions. In 1869, the Hebrew Benevolent Association held worship services once a month on Sundays in members' homes and businesses. Julius Ochs was a leader of Knoxville's Jewish congregation, often serving as lay reader. For a while, the group met at Jacob Spiro's Cider and Vinegar Works Company, with worshippers sitting on vinegar barrels. This small group was Reform, using an organ and choir during services, and joined the Union of American Hebrew Congregations in 1875. In 1877, they changed their name to Beth El (House of God) and established a religious school that met in private homes. Despite its new name, the congregation did not have a house of its own, and continued to meet in rented and borrowed rooms. On the high holidays, Beth El would meet in large halls like the Masonic Temple, the Lyceum Building, and sometimes the First Presbyterian Church. Beth El was very small. It had only fifteen members in 1880, and couldn't afford a full-time rabbi or synagogue. In 1888, they brought in their first student rabbi from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati; HUC students continued to serve Beth El over the next 34 years.
Not all Knoxville Jews were happy with the Reform worship style of Beth El. In 1890, a group of these dissenters joined with newly arriving immigrants from Eastern Europe to establish a traditional synagogue, Heska Amuna (Strongholders of the Faith). While Heska Amuna started with only ten founding members, it soon grew larger than the older congregation, Beth El. They hired their first rabbi, A. Michaelof, soon after organizing. By 1894, they had acquired a house on the corner of Vine and Temperance Streets for use as a synagogue. The following year they hired Isaac Winick as their rabbi, who lived in the synagogue's upstairs area with his family. Winick was also a mohel (ritual circumciser), and traveled throughout the region plying this trade. In 1921, the congregation bought a new building on West Fifth Avenue.
In most other southern communities with two synagogues, the older, Reform congregation was usually larger and more established. This was not the case in Knoxville. By 1900, Heska Amuna had a synagogue and a full-time rabbi, while the 36-year old congregation Beth El had neither. In 1907, Heska Amuna had 75 members while Beth El only had 20. Finally, in 1914, after fifty years as a congregation, Beth El bought a former church for $5000 as its first synagogue. Max Arnstein was the largest donor in this fundraising campaign, which attracted several donations from local gentiles. Beth El's new synagogue had sanctuary seating for 200 and six classrooms. In 1922, Beth El hired its first rabbi, Jerome Mark, who came to Knoxville from the congregation in Helena, Arkansas. Their new synagogue and rabbi helped to fuel a growth in Beth El's membership. By 1945, it had 98 members.
While Heska Amuna was the stronger, more active congregation, it also experienced more internal dissension. In 1907, a group led by Rabbi Isaac Winick (left) broke away from Heska Amuna and formed a new congregation, Anshei Sholom (Men of Peace). The dispute seems to have been over the religious school. The thirty members of Anshei Sholom met for three years in a rented room on Vine Street, before rejoining Heska Amuna in 1910.
The congregation split again in 1929, this time over the issue of maintaining kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws. The congregation had been paying a local kosher butcher, A.J. Robinson, a monthly salary for his services, but decided to stop this practice. While still an Orthodox congregation, Heska Amuna had been adopting reforms, including mixed-gender seating. A group of sixty people upset about the firing of Robinson split from Heska Amuna and founded a new congregation called Beth Israel, which met, appropriately enough, above a kosher restaurant. Many of these dissidents belonged to the large Robinson, Green, or Slovis families. A.J. Robinson led services for the first few years before the congregation hired the young Orthodox rabbi Israel Levine, who instituted Hebrew classes for girls. Rabbi Levine stayed for five years, and was replaced by Morris Herzlich in 1937. The following year, Beth Israel disbanded and most of its members rejoined Heska Amuna.
Despite the turmoil within Heska Amuna, its relationship with Beth El was cordial. In the early 1900s, a Junior Jewish Social Club brought together the youth of both congregations. The tradition developed in which temple kids would walk down to Heska Amuna after Rosh Hashana services to visit their friends. This tradition continues through today. Ben Winick, who belonged to Heska Amuna, sought to preserve these social connections into adulthood, founding the Progressive Club, a Jewish social and literary society for both Reform and Orthodox Jews. Started in 1923, the Progressive Club helped lead to the creation of a Jewish community center six years later. In 1930, the two synagogues founded a joint Sunday school. Led by William Shaw, a professor at the University of Tennessee and an ardent Zionist, the school focused on Jewish history and culture. Students from Heska Amuna also attended a weekday Hebrew School. The joint Sunday school lasted for over twenty years, until Rabbi Solomon Foster of Beth El pulled out of the arrangement and reestablished the Reform congregation's own Sunday school.
This cooperation between the members of the different synagogues in Knoxville was reinforced by the creation of a Jewish Community Center in 1929. The JCC was the final gift of Max Arnstein to the Knoxville Jewish community before he retired and moved to New York. Arnstein donated a three-story building located next door to Temple Beth El for use as a Jewish Community Center. Although the building was technically owned by Beth El, the JCC became a central social and cultural meeting place for all young Jews in Knoxville. Its mission was to serve the spiritual, social, and educational needs of all Knoxville Jews and to promote "mutual understanding." The JCC had a library, club rooms, game rooms, kitchen, gymnasium, and auditorium. It hosted a dance after the Yom Kippur break-the-fast and a big annual Purim Ball. In the 1960s, the Arnstein family gave the money to build a new JCC in west Knoxville. The JCC also housed the Federation of Jewish Charities, which was established in 1940 to provide assistance to Knoxville Jews in need.
Eastern European Jews in Knoxville followed the same path of upward mobility as the earlier German Jews had. Max Finklestein came to American from Poland in 1890, settling in Knoxville by 1895. He opened a clothing store which grew into a successful business, and later built the Finklestein Building in downtown Knoxville. Finklestein served as president of Heska Amuna and the local chapter of B'nai B'rith, and was also involved in several non-Jewish fraternal societies.
The path to success was not always short or easy. Oscar Glazer came to the U.S. from Russia before World War I, settling in Atlanta. After the lynching of Leo Frank, Glazer left Atlanta and moved to Knoxville, where he opened a small grocery store. The business closed in 1916 after Glazer's bank failed. When America entered World War I, Glazer traveled the region buying scrap metal, which had become a hot commodity. Glazer managed to keep kosher while he was on the road, subsisting on hard boiled eggs and sardines. While his business flourished in the 1920s, it failed during the Great Depression. He later opened a scrapyard in Knoxville, but died tragically in 1939, after which his wife Ida ran the business. Her son-in-law, Buddy Cohen, soon took over the business and guided it through the boom years of the 1940s and 50s. Glazer Iron and Steel became very successful and the Glazer/Cohen family became one of the wealthiest Jewish families in Knoxville.
From their role as merchants, a number of Knoxville Jews became active in local civic and political affairs. Frank Winick, the son of Rabbi Isaac Winick, was a close political ally of Mayor George Dempster, and served as justice of the peace. Charles Siegal served on the Knoxville City Council and spent time as vice-mayor. Max Wolf was a longtime county commissioner. Perhaps the most influential of these Jewish politicos was Max Friedman, who had come to the U.S. from Russia as a teenager. Friedman owned a big jewelry store in downtown Knoxville, but his real passion was politics and the Democratic Party. According to local legend, Friedman was visiting with Franklin Roosevelt as he was first running for president in 1932. When FDR mentioned his lack of a good campaign slogan, Friedman reportedly suggested "a New Deal." Friedman later served on the Knoxville City Council for twenty years, as well as the county court and election commission. During the 1960s, David Blumberg was a progressive voice on the Knoxville City Council, fighting against the White Citizen's Council. In 1971, Blumberg was elected the international president of B'nai B'rith.
Knoxville Jews were also engaged in Jewish causes like Zionism. They founded the Ohavei Zion Society in 1900; which later evolved into the Knoxville Zionist District. Gert Weinstein founded a local chapter of Hadassah in the late 1920s. Most Knoxville Zionists belonged to the Orthodox congregation Heska Amuna, although some Beth El members were also active in the local movement. Several Knoxville Jews became leaders of national Zionist organizations. Ben Winick was the regional president of the Zionist Organization of America in 1951, while Mrs. J.B. Corkland was a regional president of Hadassah. Sam Rosen and his wife Esther were ardent Zionists who donated lots of money during Israel Bond Drives; in 1953, Sam was a delegate at the founding meeting of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which lobbies the U.S. government to support the Jewish state. In 1951, Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion, came to Knoxville to tour the facilities of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Knoxville Jews held a large formal dinner in his honor at the Farragut Hotel. During the 1967 War, Jews in Knoxville raised $67,000 in one day to support the besieged Jewish state, with several local gentiles contributing to the cause.
Knoxville Jews also continued to support their congregations. Beth El's membership grew tremendously in the post-war years, from 45 members in 1940 to 150 in 1962. This growth prompted the congregation to build a bigger synagogue in 1957. Beth El followed many of its members by moving out to the suburbs of west Knoxville. Soon, both the JCC and Heska Amuna followed. The Arnstein family were the major benefactors of Beth El's new synagogue on Kingston Pike Road, which was designed by temple member Sam Good. In 1993, the building was expanded and renovated, as the congregation had grown to well over 200 families. Today, Beth El has 240 member families, and is served by Rabbi Beth Schwartz. Howard Simon, who was rabbi from 1986 to 1999, is rabbi emeritus.
Heska Amuna has grown as well, remaining somewhat larger than Beth El. In 1957, it had 204 members, as compared to 120 at Beth El. In 1960, it built a new synagogue on Kingston Pike Road, just down the street from Beth El's new temple. That same year, the congregation voted to join the Conservative Movement, officially leaving Orthodox Judaism behind, after having long ago introduced such changes as mixed gender seating and confirmation. Over the years, Heska Amuna has had several rabbis, with none staying in Knoxville for very long. Rabbi Max Zucker, who led the congregation from 1960 to 1969, has been its longest serving rabbi since Issac Winick in the early 20th century. Since 2004, Rabbi Louis Zivic has led the congregation, which now numbers 250 member families.
Jews in small towns around east Tennessee were part of Knoxville's extended Jewish community. Morristown, located fifty miles northeast of Knoxville, emerged as a manufacturing center after World War II. A handful of Jewish furniture manufacturers from the North moved to Morristown in the 1950s and 60s to take advantage of its cheap, non-union labor. These Jewish owners came to dominate the furniture manufacturing business in Morristown. The group had to decide whether to form their own congregation, or join the ones in Knoxville. Most chose to join Temple Beth El, and would drive to Knoxville for Shabbat services and Sunday school. Beth El's rabbi would travel to Morristown once a month to lead services. Morristown Jews played a leading role in the fundraising campaign to build a new temple for Beth El in 1957. By the late 1960s, Morristown had a significant Jewish population; 25 members of the Knoxville Hadassah chapter lived in Morristown. In the 1970s, its Jewish community went into decline, and few Jews still live there today.
While Morristown has declined, Knoxville has experienced a Jewish renaissance. The city's Jewish population has grown from 766 Jews in 1948 to an estimated 1,800 today. Hidden within this growth is a significant demographic shift within Knoxville's Jewish community. For a long time, most Knoxville Jews were merchants, and Jewish-owned clothing, hardware, and jewelry stores once lined downtown Knoxville. Harold's Deli served kosher (and nonkosher) meat downtown for over sixty years until it recently closed. As late as 1971, merchant families still constituted about two-thirds of the Jewish community. But over the past few decades, most all of these stores have closed, as these retiring Jewish merchants were offset by increasing numbers of Jewish professionals moving to Knoxville to work in its growing medical center, the Tennessee Valley Authority, or the science labs at nearby Oak Ridge.
Perhaps the most significant cause of this shift was the expansion of the University of Tennessee. The state's university grew from a small college of 5,000 students in 1946 to over 38,000 students studying a dizzying array of subjects by 1980. The school's faculty increased as well, as UT built itself into a major research university. A number of the new faculty members have been Jewish. Larry Silverman became Dean of Liberal Arts and later the Vice Chancellor of the state university system. Today, the most famous Jewish member of the UT faculty is Bruce Pearl, the coach of the newly resurgent men's basketball team. Many of these faculty members had strong Jewish upbringings and have helped to revitalize both Heska Amuna and Beth El.
Over the past few decades, Knoxville's Jewish community has evolved from a close-knit group of merchant families bound by kinship ties, to a collection of unrelated professionals, often from other parts of the country. The native Knoxville Jew has become a rather rare breed. Today, the community is overwhelmingly professional. According to historian Wendy Besmann, 95% of working Jewish families are professionals. In this sense, Knoxville has been a microcosm of the demographic changes that have swept through the Jewish South over the last several decades. While these changes have decimated many small Jewish communities across the South, Knoxville has thrived as it has become an educational, medical, and research hub.
Knoxville has always been a strong Jewish community despite its small size. With fewer than 800 Jews in 1948, Knoxville supported two congregations, a JCC, and a Jewish Federation. As the size of the Jewish community has grown over the last half century, so have its activity and its future prospects.

I love this paddle. Light weight that cuts through the air or water. Perfectly sized blades that don't force me to muscle my paddle strokes. And the best part is getting an all carbon paddle at a price that won't make me mortgage my house.
Julie Stevenson
Chattanooga, TN
I purchased the Aquabound Swell in carbon a little over 6 months ago and it is hands down the best paddle I have used. Love the ability to adjust to different lengths and feathering on the fly. Light weight, easy to paddle all day, almost effortless. Usually paddle in the gulf or on river trips here in Florida, use it to brace getting in and out of kayak. I have lent it to several friends and they love everything about it. Worth every penny as far as I am concerned. My wife has started kayaking and uses it since she is left handed and it feathers for Left handed paddlers, 10 of 10 for me.

I am using Sencha Architect and I have tried to change label configuration by using:

Any idea?

For *imaging* with long exposure though a quick levelling of the top of the tripod (especially east/west) before putting the mount head on does the trick. I have a 6" bullet level packed with my astro-gear for that. (this works with my lowly CG5 so I assume the AVX will do fine that way too )

Video squashed in imovie '09 after rotating
I filmed a little video with a (small)greenscreen backdrop, but I had to film it with the camera sideways to get it to fit right. After uploading it to imovie I rotated it so the picture would be right side up. But after I did that it squashed the whole video. That would have been ok in itself if it could have just been attached to the background I chose, but when I put in the background and combined it with the video I shot, the background got squashed as well. I tried fiddling with the controls but I haven't found a way to fix this.
Is there a way to make THE VIDEO I SHOT fit the background I selected for the greenscreen, instead of the BACKGROUND fitting the dimensions of the video I shot as it is doing now? Once again, this is in imovie '09. Thanks for any information. |

expect-lite is an quick and easy command line automation tool. Written in expect, it is designed to directly map an interactive terminal session into an automation script. expect-lite scripts use special character(s) at the beginning of each line to indicate the action. Basic expect-lite scripts can be created by simply cutting and pasting text from a terminal window into a script, and adding '>' '<' characters. No knowledge of expect is required. Expect-lite is targeted at the verification testing environment, and will produce a Pass/Fail result at the end of the script. However, its use is not limited to this environment. It includes a powerful debugger with breakpoints, step/skip, and the ability to copy/paste expect-lite lines right into a running script.
MIB Smithy SDK is a dynamic extension to Tcl/Tk (8.4+) that allows development of custom scripts for controlling SNMP agents, manipulating SMI definitions, doing conversions, and more. It is based on the core of Muonics' MIB Smithy, and the SDK supports SMIv1 and SMIv2, as well as SNMPv1/v2c/v3 with HMAC-SHA-96 and HMAC-MD5-96 authentication and DES/CBC and AES128/CFB privacy. It also provides complete read-write access to all elements of SMI/MIB Module definitions, unlike similar extensions that provide only read access to a limited subset. The SDK allows multiple discrete SMI databases and SNMP sessions, and provides all of the built-in validation and error recovery capabilites of the full product, without the visual MIB development environment.

Each week PewterReport.com's Mark Cook comes up with five keys the Buccaneers should try to achieve in order to beat their next opponent. After the game Cook revisits these keys and grades the team on how well is was able to achieve them.
Key 1. Cause Some Blount Force Trauma
The fact is, when LeGarrette Blount gets 100 yards, good things happen for the Buccaneers. This isn't rocket science. League-wide when a player rushes for over 100 yards, teams have a 75-percent winning percentage (http://www.thesportjournal.org/article/controlling-rushing-or-passing-game-key-nfl-victories).
But with the Buccaneers it is even more of a necessity as it's exactly the way offensive coordinator Greg Olson has built this offense and his playbook. Run the ball, control the clock and take shots down the field, while keeping opposing defenses guessing.
Look at the Buccaneers' four wins this season and you can see the importance of a strong running presence.
•Minnesota 105 total rushing yards
•Atlanta 115 total rushing yards
•Indianapolis 117 total rushing yards
•New Orleans 192 total rushing yards
In their six losses the running game was mostly limited, starting with Detroit (56 yards), San Francisco (86), Chicago (30), New Orleans (84) and Houston (90). The only loss with an effective running game came last week when the Buccaneers rushed for 121 yards. Even though Tampa Bay lost they were able to gain 450 yards of total offense and matched their highest point output of 2011, scoring 26. It showed once again how important it is for Greg Olson's offense to establish a running game.
Tampa Bay can run on a depleated Titans defensive front, as Barrett Ruud is already declared out and his back up at middle linebacker, Colin McCarthy, is questionable with a knee injury. On the season Tennessee is ranked 22nd in the NFL against the run, giving up an average of 124.3 yards per game.
Key 2. Keep Johnson Struggling
After holding out during training camp, Tennessee running back Chris Johnson signed a huge four-year $53.4 million deal. So far he has been a bust, eclipsing the 100-yard mark just twice this season and has just 509 yards and two TD's while averaging just 3.2 yards a carry.
