Yes, unfortunately some do. I'm a regular at a watchdog blog that monitors FOX (newshounds.us), and you wouldn't believe some of the stuff we get in our comments section.
Chinese cyber strikes will be 'like WMD'
Don't be so dismissive
It's easy to assume that everything that comes out of the Bush administration, or even the US government in general, is false; however, that's not always the case. I know from a relative who works in the government, and has to deal with this stuff on a daily basis, that China is indeed waging cyber-warfare against us, and has been doing so for quite some time. The government has only recently been starting to admit this, and the media has been ignoring it entirely.
Great War diary reveals original Captain Blackadder
@Sceptical Bastard
"Personally, I think we have all forgiven Germany far too readily and far too soon"
The First World War took place almost one hundred years ago. There are only about thirty surviving veterans of it on the planet; all of those involved in actually starting it have long since decomposed. How many generations is long enough? Should we be upset with people because of things that their ancestors did? Should I perhaps be up in arms because the French forced my ancestors out of Alsaß back during the Thirty Years War? That's precisely the kind of grudge-holding mentality that contributed to things like World War One.

The Times: PLA war-hackers can switch off US navy
Not quite as alarmist as you might think
"'The Pentagon logged more than 79,000 attempted intrusions in 2005 ... The Pentagon uses more than 5 million [networked] computers.'
"That seems to be about 0.01 attempted intrusions per computer per year: an unbelievably low figure. If it's actually true, the US military can relax."
I wish. While I do not know the exact number of total attempted intrusions, I do know from a certain government-dwelling relative that the cyberattacks we are faced with are a serious problem, and before you ask, no, she's not part of the Department of Misinformation. The media, El Reg included, apparently, has not been given, nor is it giving, the full story.

Icebergs collect mini ecosystems, lock up carbon
Re: Oh dear Tony
"So no good can come from global warming, even though climate changes are perfectly normal occurances that have occured throughout history? It is a recognised fact that there was a "hot" period in the middle ages (warmer than now), followed by a "little" ice age that we have been recovering from in fits and starts through the 20th century. That is only in recent times that affects our living memory and well documented history."
The fact that something has happened in the past does not mean it's good. The "hot" period you refer to resulted in the destruction of the Anasazi civilization, which sent economic shockwaves throughout North America. I doubt that was an enjoyable experience.
Also, the fact that large scale climate change has happened in the past does not mean that we cannot cause it in the present. Lakes form and dry up over time, but that doesn't mean that we didn't cause the near destruction of the Aral Sea and Lake Chad.
Pluto demoted again
The discovery that Eris is larger than Pluto is what catalyzed this whole controversy in the first place. All that's new is that we now know exactly how much bigger it is.
I disagree that "any grouping is essentially meaningless." A quick look at the solar system shows that there are three basic kinds of solar satellite: those closest to the Sun are small and rocky, the next ones out are large and gaseous, and the most distant ones are small and icy, and also have erratic orbits. You could call all three groups planets, but I'm not sure how you could logically include the first two groups, which don't even remotely resemble each other, while excluding the third group, which is very similar to the first.

Polytechnic High School turned 100 years old in 2012 and during that time has seen a lot of ups and downs.Poly has been making a remarkable comeback these past few years and things appear to just keep getting better. Being a Poly Alumni Association officer I had the honor of attending a luncheon at the school on April 10. The food was prepared and served by the culinary department students. I was very impressed with the food, the kids and the staff that we had the honor of meeting. Paul Galvan is the current principal and he is doing a wonderful job working with the students, the staff and the alumni. Galvan went out of his way to make us feel that we are welcomed at "our" school anytime. Once again I am proud to say... "I am from Poly." — Ruby Smithers Bressman, Benbrook Class of 1961

Report: China IP theft now equal in value to US exports to Asia
China is responsible up to 80 per cent of US intellectual property theft, which a government report has estimated accounts for $300bn in lost exports, roughly the equivalent of the current American trade balance with Asia. "Unless current trends are reversed, there is a risk of stifling innovation, with adverse consequences for …
What IP?
All the tech on my desk, down to the cat5 cable has a "Made in China" sticker on it.
They already know how to make the real thing for US companies. Their fakes are the real thing without the designer label. Greedy global electronics companies gave away the knowledge when the jobs went to cheaper labour.
Re: What IP?
Pretty much.
$107bn in additional annual sales?
That is higher than most other countries' GDP. It will be difficult to convince China, that this is not a good strategy. On the other hand - if they plan to go any (objective) third party council, their numbers should better be waterproof. If they are calculated in the same manner than RIAA's, it might rather cause amusement in the middle kingdom.
Attacks always go well
"If counterattacks against hackers were legal, there are many techniques that companies could employ that would cause severe damage to the capability of those conducting IP theft."
If the efforts of private actors go as well ((badly)) as those of government actors, this would degenerate into a free-fire zone where no one can tell who or what actually got attacked by the "return fire".
Would you really trust a BAE or GE to know a joe job misdirection from a real attacking source? Do you really want to give a government entity (say China) proof that they were attacked by a (bamboozled) <insert Western pigfarm here>, thereby giving them the further justification to continue their own righting of centuries of injustice.
Show me the instances where enough evidence of attack origination was isolated to take to an international court and win a ruling. Until you've got evidence the level of "here are the pictures of the missiles in Cuba" you aren't going to win, and you'll attack the wrong enemies. (Sorry about the slipup Telenor, no hard feelings, right?)
more IP to lose
Of course if we hacked back, then they could watch, learn and "borrow" our hacking IP too.
Some things that appear to be missing in that report are these:
(1) WTF are these multi-million dollar companies doing about computer security? If this "IP theft" really is so important why don't they have proper (ideally physical) separation of external (internet) and internal (valuable) networks? Too much cost/trouble?
(2) Most of the vulnerabilities being exploited are either people or, equally relevant, down to MS & Adobe in the majority of cases. Why is the US gov not penalising them for such a "IP rape" of the nation?
(3) Last time I looked, IP was covered by patents and trademarks which can be enforced against those who copy it (even if stupidly, e.g. Apple vs Samsung). Are we to really to believe such a huge value of IP is not protected by these established means?
(4) Considering most US corporations have out-sourced to China already (and the Chinese are smart enough to make most "joint ventures"), and they do so to save money so staff move a lot, is that not also a real risk for your IP? If so, why are they now complaining about the bloody obvious?
Re: Really?
"(4) Considering most US corporations have out-sourced to China already (and the Chinese are smart enough to make most "joint ventures"), and they do so to save money so staff move a lot, is that not also a real risk for your IP? If so, why are they now complaining about the bloody obvious?"
It's because while they quite like the cake they are currently eating, there was this cake they used to have, which also looked nice, and they'd like to have it again.
Re: Really?
^ This
Wow... just wow...
"Currently, Internet attacks against hackers for purposes of self-defense are as illegal under U.S. law as the attacks by hackers themselves," the report states. "If counterattacks against hackers were legal, there are many techniques that companies could employ that would cause severe damage to the capability of those conducting IP theft."
So... if a thief break into your house and steal something, it should be legal to break into the thief's house and take it back?
As an extreme example : If someone kills a relative of your, it should be legal to kill the murderer yourself?
Yeah, it should work...
I also wonder about what they're implying with this "retrieve stolen information."... Does it means the information is 'lost' by the original owner, and they need to get it back, or - more probably - that they should retrieve the exclusivity to this information by destroying the stolen version in the hacker's network... Isn't it "destruction of proof"?
Re: Wow... just wow...
" If someone kills a relative of your, it should be legal to kill the murderer yourself?"
That is an extreme example... but surely it should be legal for me to track down and take back my goods from a thief?
US should just knock the annual cost to their economy off what they owe the Chinese, that would soon stop them stealing.
"Finally, offending companies must be penalized in cases of proven theft, to reduce the financial incentive for crime. This could involve a tariff on Chinese imports amounting to 150 per cent of the estimated value of IP theft and/or the withholding of an equivalent amount from the World Health Organization budget."
What? What did dying African children do to deserve the WHO budget cut? This is just some attitude that there is "America" and "others". Others have taken money from us! Right, let's cut the budget for others by the same amount. Besides, the US only contributes $110m/year, so won't really make up for things.
EMI Body scanner, anyone? A certain large country put up all sorts of barriers that drove EMI into the ground trying to fight patent infringers, which is how it came to have the Thorn stuck in it.
China's Response
So what ?
You use us as cheap slave labour.
Re: China's Response
Oh fuck off with all this anti-American nonsense. You do know it's pretty much impossible for western companies to operate in China without contracting the work out or JVs? The Chinese political and business class use their own people for slave labour, the US merely hires them out, same as everyone else.
If anyone in China is to blame for their 'slave labour conditions' it's their own Government, who purposely keep migrant workers in that position, so global manufacturing is kept centred around China.
But yeah, keep blaming the US if it makes you feel superior.
Re: China's Response
Don't hate the players, hate the game, eh?
Nobody FORCED those companies to do business with China, did they?
Okay, how have they valued this IP theft?
If they are giving high values to the theft of advanced technology, then that is perhaps fair enough. However, I am willing to bet they have used dodgy accounting to massively increase the cost of Lady Ga Ga album pirating.
One Question:
Did they consider IP as in all patented / copyrighted material or did they account for the fact that a lot of this IP might not survive a challenge before court (see: bouncing lists, Java API, ...)? depending on who does the sums, I would expect very different results.
Only way to have your IP Not stolen by China is to not make it in China.
The trouble is that Chinese slave labor is the Crack of modern day Corporate America, they can't beat their addiction to it and their addiction to it is killing them. US Corps are doing it to themselves.
How accurate is this number?
I mean, the MPAA and RIAA think a single download is umpteen thousand dollars lost... How accurate are these piracy numbers?
How much ...
... of this 'lost' IP is in the form of faux Oakleys?
We in the USA are doomed
Why? Because until our companies learn to rape the chinese like they rape the U.S. consumer, we'll never see a change.

Sailor in race in Va knocked overboard, dies
Eds: APNewsNow.
GLOUCESTER, Va. (AP) - The Coast Guard says a sailor in the annual Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race was killed after a boom on the vessel knocked the person overboard.
Officials say the Coast Guard responded to a call shortly before 7 p.m. Friday off Windmill Point, near Gloucester.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that crew on the Cuchulain had pulled the injured crew member from the water and were performing CPR. He was transported to Riverside Walter Reed Hospital in Gloucester.
The Cuchulain is a 50-foot schooner homeported in Pasadena, Md.
According to the race's website, the event has more than 30 vessels racing down the Chesapeake Bay from Annapolis, Md., to north of Hampton Roads.

In 2011, a production of short Beckett plays that British theater director Peter Brook had helped conceive came to New York. Its actors filled a bare stage with clear intentions and strong emotions; the effect of watching them was of seeing a world built out of thin air. For the 50-plus years during which he had been staging such all-from-nothing shows, Brook refused to allow rehearsals to be filmed, believing visitors disruptive.
The recent documentary Peter Brook: The Tightrope, however, changes this. It was made in collaboration between Brook and his filmmaker son, Simon (whose previous works include 2002's Brook by Brook, a film portrait of his father), with hidden cameras mounted throughout a room during a specially arranged workshop period.
The 87-year-old Brook remains seated in a chair to watch barefoot actors perform one of his most valued exercises: Each performer must walk across a carpet on an imaginary tightrope with such focus that Brook sees it, or else start over. The balancing act organically becomes a metaphor for theater — something to be done alertly and with the right amount of energy for each moment, neither anticipating what's ahead nor looking backward. To fall off is to break from immersions in life.

Throughout the film — both within the workshop space as he addresses the actors and in occasional talking-head interviews — Brook offers himself as a teacher whose goal is to help his students discover brief, ephemeral moments of bliss.

Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes, is a new collaborative album project from Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens (Carolina Chocolate Drops), Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Marcus Mumford (Mumford & Sons) and producer T Bone Burnett. The album, which will be released on November 11th, celebrates the discovery of never before heard handwritten Bob Dylan lyrics from his 1967 "Basement Tapes" writing and recording period.
Last year, producer and musician T-Bone Burnett was notified by Dylan's publisher that a box of never before seen handwritten lyrics by Dylan was found, and Burnett was asked if he was interested in doing something with them. The answer was this new collection of songs recorded in March at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where the musicians and Burnett convened for two weeks to write and create music for these recently discovered lyrics. The recording sessions were captured on film by Sam Jones and will be released as a documentary. The album, which features 20 songs, will be released digitally and on vinyl.

OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) -- An eleven-year-old Oshkosh boy who was robbed at his lemonade stand is seeing another side of humankind in the outpouring of support he's received since his story was reported.
Austin Cundy says some people have asked if he would like to set up a lemonade stand at their businesses, while others have sent cards with money or offered to replace the 20 dollars that was in his plastic container when it was taken.
He was using the stand to raise money to go camping with his grandparents and to buy his mother a birthday present for his mother.
He told police he saw two teens eyeballing him as they bicycled past, and then on Tuesday afternoon one of them punched him, shoved him off his chair and took the container and his wallet.
Police say a tip from the public led officers Wednesday night to the home of a 17-year-old boy who's been booked on suspicion of robbery and physical abuse of a child in the case.

Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Turkey's parliament approved a legislation offering men over 30 the chance to buy out of compulsory military service, the state-run Anatolia news agency reported today.
The law will allow men 30 years and older as of Dec. 31 to pay 30,000 liras ($16,200) to be exempted from military service of as long as 15 months, according to the agency. Turkish men who have worked for at least three years abroad will pay 10,000 euros to be exempted from a 21-day military service, the agency said.

Hello everyone.I have lots of lengthy equations in Maple that I don't want to waste time for rewritting them. I am looking for a clean and tidy way to export these equations from Maple and import them into a LaTeX or Word document.As an example do it with the equation in the following file.Example.mwMany many thanks.
I want to write an equation in the text portion of my document. I do not need it evaluated. I just want to write formulas, like I do in LaTeX.
For some reason, Maple does not use \frac{}{} for things like 1/2 that can occur in an expression
This make the generated code not good looking. For example using this in Maple:
latex(diff(y(x), x)+y(x)*cos(x)-(1/2)*sin(2*x) = 0);
produces this latex when proccessed:
When the latex is put inside a display in the document. This is terrible. Is there a way to tell Latex to use \frac{}{} for fractions?
I run the command
> latex( '(3*p^4+3*p^2-2*p+1)/((1-p+p^2)*(1-3*p+3*p^2))' );and I get
{\frac {3\,{p}^{4}+3\,{p}^{2}-2\,p+1}{ \left( 1-p+{p}^{2} \right) \left( 1-3\,p+3\,{p}^{2} \right) }}for some reason before every variable p I get a backslash and comman, \, and the frac{}{} command is always written as \frac {}{}, which isn't valid latex syntax, etc. What's going on?
restart;eq:=diff(y(x),x) - y(x)^2 - x*y(x) - x + 1;r:=dsolve(eq,y(x));latex(r);
Gives an error "(in fprintf) string expected for string format". The problem seems when the math contains "erf"? Both examples below fail with result that contains this.
Maple 18, on windows 7.
Another example:
restart;eq:=diff(y(x),x) + a*y(x)*(y(x)-x) - 1;r:=dsolve(eq,y(x));latex(r);
Another example, which seems to fail for different reason
restart;eq:=diff(y(x),x) + a*x*y(x)^3+b*y(x)^2;r:=dsolve(eq,y(x));latex(r);
which produces a non natural output in latex, see below.
I wonder it could be improved in the future release?
'latex' command is really useful when i have large algebric output. But having to change this tiny thing at many places is just very time consuming. I'd really appreciate if this can be fixed in updates or future versions of Maple.
Dear Mapleprimes,
I have been struggling with a problem in the last couple of days. I wish to export a Maple plot to LaTeX while ensuring font consistency. While searching for solutions online, I found the psfrag package in LaTeX. So far, however, I have been unsuccesful in making this work. As as test, I attempted to export plot(x^2) to LaTeX. I used the following code to convert to .eps which worked fine:
plotsetup(ps, plotoutput = `plot1.eps`, plotoptions = `portrait, noborder,height=5in,width=5in`);plot(x^2);
Then in LaTeX, I have:
\begin{figure}[!h]\centering\psfrag{x}{$ \alpha $}\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{plot1.eps}\end{figure}\end{document}
However, no replacements are made. After intense Google searching I found the following post http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/43255-Trouble-Replacing-Maple-Axes-Labels which to sum up argues that this was only possible with earlier versions of Maple.
Does anyone know if the problem has been resolved?
Does anyone know any other ways to ensure font consistency for plots imported from Maple to LaTeX?
Thank you very much in advance!
Maple 18, windows 7.
When I export this to Latex
The latex comes out as x:=y^-1 instead of using 1/y as it displays. I prefer 1/y and not y^-1
i.e. instead of generating {y}^{-1} it should use \frac{1}{y}, just as it appears on the screen. Is there a configurration option one can use for this?
I also like to know if one can insert latex markup directly in Maple text paragraphs?
For example, if I add a text paragraph, (Menu->Insert->Paragraph) and would like to type some math in there, I can't just write $\sin(x)$ as this will not render as math when exported to Latex, as it is in a Maple normal group in the Latex file.
Is there another way to typeset math in text area of a document? I only use worksheet mode. Not interested in using document mode.
thank you
If I wirite in an algorithm in MapleTA 9.5 the number 0, and later use it (for export to latex), it becomes negative, but not if I pass through Maple:
results in:
Why, and what can be done without passing through Maple?
I was trying to create a array or table with the following columns
1. angle in radians,
2. angle in grades
3. sinus (x)
4. cosinus (x)
5. tangent(x)
for x= 0, pi/12, 2pi/12.. 2pi.
I was trying to use seq()
seq([(1*Pi/12*j),sin(1*Pi/12*j)], j=0..24);
but I cannot get something nicely "arranged" (like in a table or matrix) to export to latex.
could somebody give me a help..please?
thanks in advance,
Is there a chance to produce right looking pdf via LateX export using table inside a Maple worsheet?
Could you tip somone?
I encolose:
(tex file with two eps + pdf file without reqiured table structure)
source workseet done with Maple 17
I tried to export my maple document to latex using file->export function, but it won't export file correctly. For example
in maple> a := 5431; b := 15971; c := 20551;> f := -a-b-c; -41953
in latex
How do I copy Maple input without any modifications?
Here is my problem:Consider the MAPLE input below (Copy Example). Copy and paste results in:
restart; with(VectorCalculus); SpaceCurve(`<,>`(VectorCalculus:-`*`(2, cos(t)), VectorCalculus:-`*`(2, sin(t)), t), t = 0 .. VectorCalculus:-`*`(2, Pi), axes = boxed, thickness = 2, color = black)
which is not the same as the input. I need the unmodified Maple input for a documentation, which is published...
I'm using Latex to write sketching questions. Although it works well for me, and it is quite easy, there are a couple of things I want to do and couldn't:
1 - having the axes with different lenghts: the sketch area is always shown as a square, even when the axes have different lengths. I want to have a longer x axis, keeping the units proportional in both axes.
2 - having an image in the background of the skecth area.
I usually write my question banks with LaTeX.
The manual says:
The LaTeX package epsfig is loaded by default. The ed package is required. Other standard LaTeX packages, for example, amsmath, can be included using the \usepackage macro.
But if I start my document with
and use for example \mathfrak{P} I only get a blank box instead of this symbol in my question bank.

Report: Texas among 10 worst states to be a kid
Updated On: Jun 24 2013 02:24:54 PM CDT
A new, national report says Texas remains one of the 10 worst states in America to be a kid - despite its booming economy and ballooning population.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation released its annual Kids Count assessment of children's health and well-being Monday.
Texas ranked 42nd nationally. That was up just two spots from the 2012 report, even though there were statewide improvements in access to preschool and falling rates of youngsters without health insurance.
The report says Texas' child poverty rate has reached 26.2 percent. That's 3-plus percentage points higher than the national rate.
The state's percentage of youngsters without health insurance also declined from 18 percent to 13 percent. Still, the U.S. rate of children without health insurance improved to 7 percent.

Delicious. Used 3 cloves of crushed garlic in the cheese . Also used Hunts Tomato sauce with onion and herbs to add at the end. Also used Tex Mex 4 cheese blend as cheese. The combination of spicy garlic cheese and tomatoes was heaven. Amp it up with any of your favorite herbs and you will not forget this. Served with angel hair pasta stirred with 3 big cloves of crushed garlic and butter and french ed beans.
I tried this for Father's Day and I used minced garlic instead of a clove of garlic it was perfect...
This was great. I added a teaspoon of powdered garlic to the cheese mix and rubbed the fresh garlic on to the chicken before brushing with egg and covering with breadcrumb mix. my whole family loved this. I will definitely be making this again.

Nolitan Hotel
New York, New YorkEnter your email address and zip code for pricing and availability
Why Stay At Nolitan Hotel
The first boutique hotel to open in Manhattan's Nolita (North of Little Italy) neighborhood, the Nolitan exudes both low-key hipness and local charm.
The Scoop
Taking its name from the neighborhood in which it's located, the Nolitan Hotel is geared toward design-minded travelers looking to be in the center of it all. The eye-catching exterior of this boutique hotel, located just north of Little Italy and walking distance from Greenwich Village, SoHo, and the Lower East Side, was designed by the Manhattan-based firm of Grzywinski + Pons and incorporates terracotta cladding, exposed concrete, and over 3,000 square feet of glass. The 55 guest rooms—some with private balconies, others with floor-to-ceiling windows—feature sateen bed linens, rain showers, and bath amenities from the nearby Red Flower boutique. But the trump card may well be the 4,000-square-foot rooftop deck, which offers panoramic views of the New York skyline.
Insider Tips
Borrow a bicycle or skateboard from the hotel to explore the New Museum on Bowery or visit nearby boutiques like trendy Me&Ro, a few blocks north on Elizabeth Street.
In-room dining is available from a menu of a dozen or so neighborhood favorites. Just take your pick and have the food plated and delivered directly to your guest room.
Preferred Airport
Arrive at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) which is approximately 19 miles from the hotel. Anticipate 25 to 45 minutes of travel time depending on traffic. You may also opt to arrive at La Guardia International Airport (LGA) which is about 10 miles from the hotel and travel time is approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic.30 Kenmare Street, New York, New York, United States

Why We Love New York
Nolita, which stands for "North of Little Italy," was a wasteland until about three years ago, when a smattering of chic boutiques and cafés popped up on a cluster of quiet blocks south of Houston Street and east of Lafayette Street. Soon after, Nolita became the stomping ground of the young and avant-garde.

Post subject: What types of compliments do women like from men?
I heard that women don't like compliments about their looks from men. If you do, make sure you're not strangers and nothing that that you can't compliment another guy about. I heard the exception is if you're on a serious date or a relationship? They like compliments about personality or anything not having to do with looks, or I can't remember exactly what I heard.
I'm not sure if I'm getting this all down right, but how does it work? What do the women here say?
For example, there's a guy who I think may have Asperger's. He works at some grocery store. He is always telling me that he's walking up to women at the store telling them that they're beautiful; both customers who are complete strangers and co-workers. My sister told me she knew him when he was younger and that women tell her they feel uncomfortable around him. The other day, he told me that at a store he drove up to a random woman in the parking lot in his car and said, "You're beautiful! Do a lot of guys ask for your phone number?" He told me that she looked away and that he wanted to tell her that she was stuck up for doing that, but then a car drove between the store bench she was sitting at and his car. I told him that I could be wrong, but that women might feel uncomfortable, especially when it's a random stranger driving up "in a car". When I said that, he got mad at me, and then again said he thought the woman at the bench was stuck up for looking away.
Although I'd feel very weird doing that with a stranger and I'd feel awkward giving any women I know a compliment about looks, I'm wondering what the advice is here about giving compliments? What do the women here say? Am I right if I'm guessing it should only be about personality or something they accomplished, and not to compliment about any type of looks until a serious date or relationship? And is the person right who said to not say anything that you wouldn't say to another man?

It's complicated. Compliments about looks are okay depending on the situation. Random strangers telling me that I'm pretty make me blush but I also usually want to get away from them.
Compliments about something I've done from strangers just don't feel so awkward. I don't know why that is. I guess because, it's true, actions are more my doing whereas the way I look is thanks to my parents.
When you're in a relationship, you want to hear the physical compliments because you know the person better. "You're pretty" from a boyfriend sounds sweet. "You're pretty" from a guy in a car sounds skeevy. It's a trust thing.
I'm not very experienced, though.
I get "You're cute" a lot (and I'm not so sure I agree) and, depending on where I am and who the person is, I feel awkward or flattered even just with "cute". If someone came up to me and said "You're beautiful!", I'm pretty sure I'd be rendered speechless.
It's not that we're stuck up - we just are so surprised that we briefly lose any ability to be articulate.
Someone needs to write an "Art of Compliments" book.

Pretty women ALWAYS get complimented on their looks. If you want to stand out from the crowd, compliment her on something other than her looks (ie her intelligence, sense of humor, car, etc).

I do not like compliments. I only like to be told if I am doing something correct or not, so I can keep doing it the same way or fix my mistakes.

I'm male and no expert myself, but I think it has to be something personal to them. If someone gets a new haircut, or item of clothing, they will appreciate a compliment about it. As for looks, I think compliments about looks only work if they're about a particular striking feature, for example "You have a nice smile", or "You're eyes are beautiful". But these sorts of compliments are only for people you know quite well. It's most important to remember not to lie, because women can always spot a false compliment and they actually take it as an insult.
I actually find most compliments aren't verbal in nature, and this is perhaps a reason why people with Asperger's and Autism can't seem to grasp them. They can be conveyed through eye contact, facial expressions and body language. If some makes you smile and can hold your attention during conversation that will make them think you like them. If you overt your eyes too much, avoiding eye contact, then they might take as saying "You're ugly, I don't want to look at your face". I think many women take the fact that you want to spend time with them as a compliment. You just have to remember not to talk about looks until you know them a little better.

I'm confused. Why do female strangers need compliments? Is the purpose of the compliment to start a conversation? How come the men don't get any compliments? Unsolicited compliments can be a form of sexual harassment. Why is it mandatory for people to react positively to unsolicited compliments?
If the purpose of the compliment is to start a conversation wouldn't it be much easier to learn to start conversations with strangers?

I guess it depends on the individual, I personally can tell you that for me the best compliments come from my coworkers who compliment my work. I really don't care about any other types of compliment, but I admit that something like "you look nice today" is always welcome and I think no woman would ever feel offended by that :p
but as someone above said, showing your appreciation non-verbally makes much bigger impact, and I'm not talking about facial expressions or anything like that, more like doing little things for others that make them see that you care. really, it can be anything, even really small stuff but it will make her think "wow, he really went out of his way to do that, he must really like me." sorry I can't be any more specific, but such things need to be custom made :p
as to complimenting strangers the way your friend does- I find it beyond creepy. if I heard something like that and was called "stuck up" for ignoring the guy... well let's just say he'd make a closer acquaintance with my little friend Pepper Spray.
I've been trying to think about some compliment I got from a random stranger that didn't creep me out... some weeks ago the postman told me I smell like fresh donuts :p I guess it didn't have to be a compliment (I'm sure there's plenty of people who find this smell disguisting
) but it was kinda nice hehe.
kinda lost the plot here, sorry, but I guess that's all I had to say on the topic. good luck!

Keep in mind, I wasn't saying that I agreed with how this guy complimented these women. He also got mad at me when I told him that maybe they thought it was awkward, complete stranger driving up in a car and all
I was just trying to figure out what types of compliments are good? Obviously you hear some say that to be seen as more friendly, compliments are good. I was also reading an article that people may try to small talk by talking about details in the environment ("Boy this line is long") or even compliments ("Nice project you have going here").
So that's why I was trying to figure out compliments with women. If it's only appropriate to talk about things not dealing with looks, and when it is appropriate, and if it's only appropriate for looks they have control over (hair style vs. eyes as that other thread mentioned). Also, someone told me that for compliments it's best to mirror what they're already talking about.

People like compliments, if they believe that they are genuine. An insincere compliment is actually an insult, or could be seen as condescending, so don't do that.
Also, I have never liked compliments that say nothing about me morally. Someone might say that I'm intelligent, or pretty... and even if I believe them (though not so much the latter these days) it won't please me one way or the other. I already know that I'm intelligent, and that I'm okay looking. I didn't choose my IQ, or the colour of my hair.
However, I understand that this is just me. Most women seem to like being told that they're pretty, and most intelligent people seem to like being told that they're clever. To me, it's just an observation. If someone says that I'm honest, or brave, I'm more likely to feel complimented, because those are moral virtues that I've had to work at.
I suppose the most important thing is just to be genuine, not flatter, and hope that you don't have as nitpicky an aspie as me.

I would prefer limited to no compliments, as hearing the same thing too many times can subtly annoy me. If I hear the same compliment over three times in one get together, I get scepticle about whether they are being honest or acting out of desperation. This isn't to say I wouldn't be open for a lovely, cuddly story telling.

I can only speak for myself, obviously, but I tend to appreciate compliments that involve something I accomplished, as opposed to something I had nothing to do with.
So if a man says "you look nice today", to me that's better than saying "you have attractive eyes", because it implies that he's complimenting something I did more than something I was simply born with, and had no input into.
Perhaps that's splitting hairs, but it's how I look at it. It doesn't bother me if a man comments on my eyes or whatever. I just appreciate it more if it's something that I have control over.
I'm still waiting for a guy to say something like ... "wow! what sexy elbows you have".

Believe it or not, I've gotten that before. My elbows can hyperextend and it always made my male classmates go "Wow!" I'd just be raising my hand to answer a question. But maybe it was more of a "Wow, she's a freak, how awesome!" because they never asked me out.

WINCHESTER, Va. (AP) - The president of the Student Government Association at Shenandoah University has been removed from office.
The SGA House of Delegates' voting members recently voted to impeach and remove Nigel Huckle following hazing allegations.
The allegations involved Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary dramatic society. Huckle is the group's treasurer.
Huckle tells The Winchester Star that the event involved requiring prospective members to memorize the society's history and recite it. He said he would quiz them and demand to know why they hadn't memorized the history when they forgot their lines or made a mistake.
He says society members wouldn't have done it if they had known it was hazing.
Huckle is a senior music theater major.

Highlight Reel: Hickson turns tables on Wade
Almost a year ago, J.J. Hickson was a rookie getting spot minutes for Cleveland. He went up for a dunk and Dwyane Wade denied him. Embarrassed him.
Now, Hickson's a starter. And he wanted Wade to realize how much he's improved. First, there was the dunk. No more Mr. Weak Stuff. Hickson damn near dunked Wade's hand through the rim.
Then, there was the block. Wade went up for a dunk, and there was Hickson. No, no, no, no, no!!! Get that weak stuff outta here. Anything you can do, I can do better.

Bill O'Brien introduced at Penn St.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Sporting a Nittany Lions pin on the lapel of his dark gray jacket, Bill O'Brien took the podium, looked straight ahead and introduced himself with two quick, no-nonsense sentences.
"I feel like I'm a mentally tough guy right now. I feel like I'm the right guy."
A Look in the Mirror?
Some former Nittany Lions players are displeased with the hire of Bill O'Brien, but an initial inspection shows some similarities between old and new.
Past 2 Head Coaches At Time of Hire

And with that, the 42-year-old O'Brien, the New England Patriots' offensive coordinator the past four years, was off and running at his first briefing as Penn State 's new head football coach, the school's first in nearly a half century.
It is his first head coaching job.
"This is unbelievable," he said.
Actually, for many Penn State fans and former players all over the country, how this all came to be is exactly that -- unbelievable.
Until Nov. 9, the Nittany Lions had been directed by the same person for 46 seasons -- Joe Paterno, who was fired that day in the aftermath of a child sex abuse scandal involving retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. The case also forced the school president to resign.
Not only is O'Brien replacing Division I's winningest coach, he is joining a still-reeling school attempting to steer its way through federal, NCAA and Big Ten inquiries -- not to mention criminal proceedings against former administrators. Sandusky, meantime, is awaiting trial after waiving a preliminary court hearing last month. He has denied the charges.
O'Brien will remain with the Patriots for the duration of their playoff run. New England has a bye this weekend.
The new coach said he would pull together his staff during the next two or three days, and get the assistants on the recruiting trail immediately while he works with New England. He will retain assistant Larry Johnson from Paterno's staff to coach the defensive line.
"I'm going to surround myself with good people," O'Brien said, "and I'm excited to do that."
His five-year contract, finalized Friday, included base compensation starting at $950,000, with a 5 percent increase each season. O'Brien will also collect another $1 million a year for radio and television work, as well as a $350,000 Nike contract.
The base package is roughly on par with Paterno's compensation, which was about $1.02 million last year -- a relative bargain for a coach with two national championships. Until now, Penn State never released details of salary from endorsement deals outside the school.
O'Brien joined New England in 2007 following 14 seasons on the college level, including stops at Duke, Maryland and Georgia Tech. The Patriots are third in the NFL overall in scoring (32.1 points per game), and second in total offense (428 yards) and passing (317.8 yards).
Penn State finished a 9-4 campaign with a 30-14 loss in the TicketCity Bowl to Houston on Jan. 2. The Nittany Lions relied on defense much of the year after the offense struggled with a two-quarterback system.
Asked how the looming uncertainties affected his decision making, O'Brien said he had tough questions for school officials during his interview and received "very, very honest answers." He declined to give specifics.
"I'm here now. ... It's my job as the head football coach at Penn State to have the best football program both on and off the field," said O'Brien, who, like Paterno, is a Brown graduate. O'Brien added he looked forward to meeting Paterno and stressed respect would be shown for JoePa's accomplishments.
"Replacing a legend, I've heard it a lot in the past few days. I'm not here to be Joe Paterno. There's only one Joe Paterno," O'Brien said. "What I'm going to try to do is be Bill O'Brien and we're going to do the best we can to continue the success that he's had here for many, many years."
School president Rodney Erickson said the Nittany Lions were looking for someone who would "maintain the school's commitment to excellence on the field and in the classroom. We have that leader in coach O'Brien."
John Nichols, professor emeritus at the College of Communications and a member of the search committee, said O'Brien's credentials as a coach, along with his enthusiasm as a "true believer in the college model" and the education of student-athletes, stood out.
More From ESPN.com
Penn State's hiring of Bill O'Brien -- a man with no ties to Penn State and no head coaching experience -- may be exactly what the Nittany Lions need. But he'll need a fair shot in State College to be successful, writes Gene Wojciechowski. Story
• Rittenberg: Search lacks foresight
• Bennett: Hire a sign of the times
• Rittenberg: Could upgrade QB play
• Reiss: Next to lead Pats' offense?
• Recruiting: O'Brien could struggle
He said the committee also made sure it found someone of the "highest integrity," which Erickson had deemed a non-negotiable criteria.
"In the current environment, we just absolutely had to do that," Nichols said. "This person will be entrusted with a huge chunk of Penn State's reputation in a critical time. Finding that person was absolutely integral."
Russ Rose, women's volleyball coach and another member of the search committee, said he liked O'Brien's confidence during the interview.
"I liked the fact that he said, 'I'm a hell of a football coach.' I think it's important we hire a hell of a football coach," Rose said. "I took it as a real positive that he had confidence he was a good football coach."
O'Brien rocked on his heels and fidgeted with a water bottle while taking questions from reporters at the Nittany Lion Inn, a hotel on campus. Stepping to the podium, he surveyed the crowd and found his young son, Michael, wearing the blue No. 25 jersey of tailback Silas Redd.
"I can't wait to get going on this," he said, "get everyone headed in the right direction."
This was O'Brien's first year coordinating the Patriots' powerful offense, but he has also coached star quarterback Tom Brady since 2009 and spent 2008 coaching receivers.
O'Brien recently was in the spotlight when he and Brady got into a heated argument, shown on national television, after Brady threw an interception in the end zone in the fourth quarter of the Patriots' 34-27 win over the Washington Redskins on Dec. 11.
Asked about the incident and his relationship with Brady, he spoke of the Pro Bowl quarterback in glowing terms, adding: "Football is an emotional game."
Brady has described O'Brien as a great coach and friend; Pats receiver Julian Edelman said he is charismatic and emotional.
New England coach Bill Belichick, whom O'Brien thanked during the news conference, said in a statement: "This is a great match between a storied program and an old-school football coach. Bill will be up to the task and I couldn't be happier for him."
I feel like I'm a mentally tough guy right now. I feel like I'm the right guy." -- Penn State coach Bill O'Brien
Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley, who served as interim coach -- winning just one game down a tough, season-ending stretch -- was passed over for the position but wished O'Brien well. The longtime assistant, who interviewed for the job, remained on the staff as of Saturday though his future was uncertain.
"No matter the challenges that the university may face, Penn State will always have my support," Bradley said. "This is forever my home and forever my family. It is important that we come together to support our players and our university."
Not everyone, though, was willing to hop aboard the O'Brien bandwagon.
In column Saturday for the Washington Post, ex-NFL linebacker and Penn State standout LaVar Arrington said his initial postings on Twitter on Friday amid rumors of O'Brien's hiring were too harsh.
At one point, Arrington wrote on the social media site, "I'm done all my PSU stuff will be down before obriens introduction! We are! No more for me!"
"This hiring represents the Board of (Trustees') feeling toward all that has happened," he wrote in the column. "In my opinion, the board has concluded that everyone and everything associated with the football team is guilty of a crime that we simply did not commit -- and that's wrong."
O'Brien addressed the rumblings in a letter he said he sent to former players.
"We respect the rights to one's opinions, beliefs and contributions to Penn State," he said, reading it at the briefing. "We respectfully request the opportunity to earn your trust through communication ... In time, we will find we have more common interests and goals than not."
Designating himself the new leader of the "Penn State football family," O'Brien said he commended those with passionate loyalties to the school.
"You should love this school. You are why we want to be here," he said, reading from his letter. "We want you to know that you will always be welcome and be part of the program because we are Penn State."
In a separate statement Saturday released through the school, Tim Sweeney, president of the official Football Letterman's Club, said the new coach had the full support and backing of the organization.
"Our highly regarded standard of academic achievement equals that of our on-field performance, and we feel that coach O'Brien is an excellent choice to continue this tradition that for so long has defined Penn State," Sweeney wrote. "Welcome to the Penn State Football family, coach."

WTF. There's no other intro we can muster right now.
It's not anything new that Dancing With the Stars is more about popular support than technical merit, especially with mediocre, middle of the pack performers. But at some point, you'd assume the better dancers would be rewarded.
You'd assume wrong, apparently. Bristol Palin will be joining Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey in next week's finals, with a deserving Brandy on the sidelines.
Somehow, Brandy and Maks will be watching, not dancing in the finals.
No sooner had we talked about how Palin's run personally irked Maksim Chmerkovskiy than he and Brandy got the boot Tuesday, despite great dancing Monday.
A record-high number of votes made it happen, too.
"One thing that I love, for my family, the choice they made to come to this country," said Ukrainian-born Maks, taking the high road, "the fact that people vote and voices count. I love that this show represents that, the people's choice."
"I don't regret a second of the last five years of my being on the show and definitely not a second of me being on this season. It's been an amazing journey."
Uhhnh, did Maks just pseudo-quit Dancing With the Stars?

BarBar Nursery recruiting in Gloucester & Stroud
BarBar Nursery Ltd is looking for organised, motivated and committed Early Years Practitioners with a sound working knowledge of the EYFS to join our team in Kingsway Gloucester and our team at The Rosary in Stroud. Applicants must have a Level 3 or higher in child care and have proven work experience. Experience in identifying individual children's needs and contributing towards assessment and developmental progress is important. Candidates will need good communication skills both written and verbal and be able to liaise with parents in a positive, informative and professional manner.
Please send a CV and covering letter to firstname.lastname@example.com by 11th July. Interviews will be on Wednesday 16th July.
All applicants will need satisfactory references and the post is subject to DBS check. It is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
BarBar is a happy, safe and secure environment where every child is valued and treated as an individual.
The emphasis is to encourage confidence, effort, kindness and humour, whilst educating and preparing children for school life.
We currently have three locations: Rosary School, Stroud; Stratford Park, Stroud; and Kingsway, Quedgeley.
I just wanted to say that I'm so pleased we chose BarBar for Amelia – we have had such a friendly and welcoming first week it's made it that much easier to leave her in your care.
All the staff have all shown such enthusiasm and an obvious desire to work with little ones – Amelia has had smiles on her face each morning I've dropped her off which is a huge indicator she is enjoying it!
I wanted to let you and your team know, my first impressions are all positive and to give praise where I feel it's due.
D, Stroud

This is the kind of over-the-top automotive hubris for which we yearn here at Autoblog. James Glickenhaus, a B-movie mogul turned Wall Street fund manager, has commissioned Pininfarina to build a one-off Ferrari inspired by the original Ferrari P3/4 racers from the late '60s. The canvas for this crazy project will be the very last unspoiled 2003 Enzo in existence.
Glickenhaus has spilled the beans about his baby all over the internet, most notably on ferrarichat.com according to AutoWeek. It appears the car will debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August to compete in a new prototype class, although the owner hints it may crash a major auto show next season, as well. The G-man has spent nearly $4 million on his modern P4. Check out AutoWeek's excellent article at the link for more details on the car and its backstory.

Motorcyclist dies after hitting guard rail

A motorcycle rider is dead after a crash on the Northeast side Saturday afternoon.
Just after noon on the U.S. 54 ramp leading to I-10 east -- police say the rider lost control. The rider was killed by the impact.
Detectives still have the ramp closed as they are wrapping up the investigation. They expect it to reopen by 7 p.m.
ABC-7 does not know if the rider was a man or a woman -- or if he or she was wearing a helmet.
