The students of the Tennessee Christian Preparatory School took a morning of inspiration and translated it into action.
Their motivation came from the school's assembly program marking Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Dr. Bill Balzano, TCPS president, called it a "special morning with a lot of opportunities.
"The opportunity is to serve our community in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and in honor of our community," Balzano said.
He said the school leadership looked at the calendar and decided to take the day and "instead of not having school and everybody goofing off, let's have a day of service."
The motto marking the day kept that spirit: "A day on and not a day off."
Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland was on hand to give remarks preceeding the morning's special guest.
"I want to challenge you when you leave this school; Jesus has been implanted into your lives and your hearts. Don't forget that when doing outside work," Rowland said.
"No matter what your vocation is in life, you can never serve those entities until you first serve Him. That's one of the most important things you can remember."
The mayor's words led into his recollections of the morning's main speaker, the Rev. Ron Hill.
"He was a school principal for a long time and he had the audacity while he was principal to have a band that held his city ID around his neck that said, 'Jesus loves you,'" Rowland recalled. "Can you believe that? What a message that was to the children he came in contact with every single day."
Rowland mentioned King was a nonviolent person and wondered aloud what terrorists who are threatening the Olympic Games can accomplish with violence.
"Look what Dr. King accomplished without a single shot being fired," Rowland said.
He said King's philosophy of judging people by their character and not the color of their skin should always be maintained.
Michelle Augustine, TCPS administrator, sang "Woke Up This Morning" to accompany a video of King and the images of the adversities African-Americans went through during those tumultuous days of the early 1960s.
She also led in the anthem, "We Shall Overcome," having all in attendance hold hands as they joined voices in harmony singing the words, "We'll walk hand in hand some day."
Balzano recalled the story of when his father came to the United States from Italy.
"He encountered just a tiny bit of the discrimination that an entire race of people lived with in our country for many years," Balzano said.
He said his father would be called names and be spat upon.
"As we celebrate Dr. King, as large a person as he was, it's more than Dr. King. It's about two people or more reconciling differences in honor of Christ," Balzano said.
Hill said he liked the school's motto for the day because it was "important to remember the man, but not sleep through the morning."
He chose four of the "beautiful faces" he saw within the student body to come up to join him.
He placed the two girls in chairs and had the two boys stand.
Using great humor, he continously fawned over the girls, giving each a candy bar.
The boys got a "cold shoulder" treatment and were forced to share a candy bar.
"You young ladies are so special," Hill told the girls.
"Here. You all share that," he said as he passed the candy bar to the boys.
The continued treatment brought laughs from everyone, but it also presented a serious message.
Hill began bringing to life the biography of King and why he led the iconic movement.
"There were separate schools. There was a time it would not be accepted for someone like me to be standing here in front of students like you," Hill said.
He said on buses there were those who could sit and those who would stand in the back.
"There were also separate communities," Hill said. "That was just the way it was. When my wife and I moved into our community 35 years ago, we were the first blacks to ever live on the block."
He said restaurants were like the buses.
"We had to go to the back," he recalled. "We could work and make the food, but we couldn't necessarily come out and sit with you and share with you."
Hill remembered when there were separate water fountains.
"I almost lost my father. He was coming home on the bus and when the bus stopped, he went to get something to drink," he said.
"He said he noticed everyone stopped and started looking at him. He thought it was his uniform. He went back on the bus and it got quiet. He then realized he had drank from the wrong water fountain. The fountains were marked 'white' and 'colored.' People were angrily looking at me. He started praying he could get out of there for fear of being lynched."
He said there were also separate churches and activities, which brought him back to the four youths he had brought up front.
"Did you see how I treated them? In another world, [the girls] would be the white community and [the boys] would be the black community," Hill said. "These guys would just be overlooked."
He said he would hear the phrase, "Separate but equal."
"I wondered, if we are separate, how can we be equal? And, if we're equal how can we be separate?"
Hill also told the students King and his family had visited Cleveland in the 1950s and had stayed with Miss Mae Clark.
"At that time there was only one hotel downtown and blacks could not stay there," Hill said. "They ended up in Miss Mae's house.
"People were impressed. The name probably didn't mean too much at the time. It was the way he projected himself. He was a Baptist minister. When he spoke, he spoke with the voice of authority," he said.
He said the message of nonviolence also connected, but described the moment King was assassinated.
"The nation and the world mourned, because a voice that endorsed nonviolence, 'Jesus is still the answer' and 'Love will conquer all' was silenced," Hill said.
Students, accompanied by teachers and parents, then traveled to the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway.
There, more than 80 took up gloves and trash bags to help clean up the popular trail and waterway.
The students spread themselves out from one end of the Greenway to the other, some even sliding down the banks of Mouse Creek to pick up refuse from the water.
They were doing it with dedication and laughs.
"We want to be known as an asset to the community," Balzano said.
Andri Wood, principal of the upper grades, said students try to help in several areas.
"We work with the Salvation Army and our students are eager to help in many other ways."
In some ways, the TCPS students may be taking from a quote from King they did not even hear Monday morning.
"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of Heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."

NAGPUR: Heavy rains over the last 24 hours in Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Bhandara, Gondia districts and pockets of Nagpur district, have caused flood-like situation at several places. While over 200 villages remain cut off in Naxal-affected Gadchiroli district, all seven gates of Irai dam in Chandrapur had to be opened to release excess water.
Crops and property were damaged in Umred and Bhiwapur talukas because of overflowing Sirsi nullah and water released from six gates of Nand dam, official sources said on Monday.
"As per preliminary reports, crops have been damaged in around 3,000 hectares in Umred and Bhiwapur talukas. Teams led by SDOs will be inspecting the areas to assess the damage and the situation will be clear by Tuesday," said Nagpur division joint director of agriculture JC Bhutada.
The villages affected were Hivra, Hivri, Sirsi, Pimpra, Pauni, Sawangi Khurd and Singori Salai. Several roads were cut off and a police constable, Ranjit Faye, stuck on a submerged bridge on Umred-Sirsi road was rescued over the weekend while 70 villagers were moved to safer places from Pimpra village.
Bhiwapur taluka received 96mm of rains on Sunday, leading to floods in Maru and Chikhli nullahs. At least 295 houses were damaged at Nanda, Manora, Malewada, Nakshi, Pandharvani, Vakeshwar and nearby villages, which were cut off from the taluka headquarters.
As per information from divisional control room at Nagpur, Chandrapur received maximum rainfall of 80.20mm followed by Bhandara with 66.84mm, Gadchiroli 64mm, Gondia 54.41mm, Wardha 24mm and Nagpur 18mm.
The Wainganga was flooded and waters from it flowed into Gadchiroli district, causing a spate in several inter-district rivers like Pranhita, Godavari, Indrawati and Paralkota, Pamulgautami, Kathani and Gadhvi rivers in the district.
Heavy rains were also recorded in most areas of Gadchiroli district over last two days and emergency flood-relief cell was operational round the clock at the district headquarters. Boats were pressed into service to evacuate marooned people at several places.
Three small rivers and nullahs in Bhandara, four in Gondia and 10 in Chandrapur were in spate. In all, excessive rainfall was reported from 22 talukas of Nagpur division comprising eastern and southern Vidarbha.

Previous page (Properties of uniform convergence) | Contents | Next page (The intermediate value theorem) |
One of the most important ways in which a metric is used is in approximation. Given a function f, finding a sequence which converges to f in the metric d is called uniform approximation. The most important result in this area is due to the German mathematician Karl Weierstrass (1815 to 1897).
If f and g are suitable functions on R, then the convolution f * g is the function defined by f * g(x) = f(x - t) g(t) dt (suitable means ensuring that the integral exists).
This concept of convolution is important in the theory of Laplace transforms among other places.
It turns out that the set X of suitable functions is than a ring under the operations + and * in much the same way that X forms a ring under the usual addition and multiplication.
The Laplace transform is then a ring homomorphism from (X + *) to (X + .)
That is: (f + g) = (f) + (g) and (f * g) = (f).(g).
Thinking about convolution as an algebraic operation, we may ask: Is there an identity element for this operation?
The answer is: Almost!
The English mathematician Paul Dirac (1902 to 1984) one of the most important founders of Quantum Mechanics, invented the -function.
This is a "function" with the properties:
(x) = 0 if x 0 and (x) dx = 1.
You should think of it as "The density function of a unit mass or charge at the origin".
Of course it is not really a function since we would have to have (0) = in a rather special way, but it turns out that provided one only uses it in integrals everything is OK.
For example, f * (x) = f(x - t) (t) dt = f(x) since (t) = 0 except at t = 0.
What we will now do is find a sequence of functions (Kn) which approximate the -function. The sequence (Kn* f) will then approximate * f = f.
The n-th Landau kernel function Kn= cn(1 - x2)n for x [-1, 1] and 0 otherwise, where cn is chosen so that Kn = 1.
Here are graphs of some of these functions:
Note that these are the graphs of the density functions of unit masses concentrated on smaller and smaller areas.
If f is a continuous function on the interval [-1, 1] then Kn * f is a polynomial.
Kn* f(x) = Kn(x - t)f(t) dt and Kn is a polynomial and so Kn(x - t) can be expanded as g0(t) + g1(t) = ... + g2n(t)x2n and so the integral is a polynomial in x.
The sequence (Kn * f) f in d.
We need to show that Kn has "most of its area" concentrated near x = 0.
First we estimate how big cn is:
(1 - t)2)ndt = 2(1 - t)n(1 + t)ndt 2 (1 - t)ndt = 2/(n+1).
Since Kn= 1 we must have cn (n+1)/2.
[In fact, cn grows like a multiple of n. For large n, cn is approximately 0.565n.]
Look at the area under Kn which is not near 0.
Kn(t) dt = cn(1 - t2)ndt (n+1)/2 (1 - 2)ndt
since Kn is decreasing on [, 1] and this is (n + 1)/2 (1-2)n(1-).
If r = 1 - 2 then (n + 1)rn--> 0 as n .
We are told that f is continuous and by a theorem we will prove in the next section we may assume that f is bounded by M (say).
If x [0, 1] then given > 0 we can find > 0 such that if |t| < then |f(x - t) - f(x)| < .
So now look at the convolution : Kn* f.
|f(x) - Kn* f(x)| = |f(x) - f(x - t)| Kn(t) dt = + + .
Now on [-1, -] and on [, 1] we have Kn(t) is small if we choose small. In fact, we can choose so that Kn(t) < /M here and then the first and third integrals are < .
For the middle integral, |f(x) - f(x - t)|Kn(t) dt Kn(t) dt < since Kn(t) dt = 1.
Thus |f(x) - Kn* f(x)| is small when n is large and we have our convergence. This completes the proof of the Weierstrass approximation theorem.

Lilley scores 36 to shoot UO women past USC, 85-77
LOS ANGELES — Senior guard Taylor Lilley hit a school-record nine three-pointers and scored a career-high 36 points, helping the Oregon women's basketball team snap a five-game losing skid with a 85-77 victory over USC at the Galen Center on Saturday.
Lilley's ninth three — which tied the Pac-10 record — gave the Ducks their largest lead at 76-61 with 7:38 remaining.
Senior guard Micaela Cocks added 24 points as the Ducks (13-8, 4-5 Pac-10) won at USC for the first time since 2003.
The Ducks' 85 points were the most they've ever scored against the Trojans (13-7, 7-2).

Another Way to Reach Dumbo
A while back I posted about the East River Ferry and what a great new way that was to reach the Pontiflex offices in Dumbo from Manhattan. That still works and I still recommend it heartily. But, a new player has entered the alternative transportation game: Citibike! So, now for all you thinking about joining the booming new tech metropolis or for your new "I make it like your grandma did" business you should feel comfortable that getting to and from here has gotten even easier.… continue »

Sit back. Relax. Forget about that studio project, art history paper or work deadline for a few hours. Each Saturday during the academic year at Alamo Drafthouse Kansas City, 1400 Main St., movie-goers and film lovers can settle in for the KCAI Screening Room, a program featuring a student-curated film series presented by the photography and digital filmmaking department and hosted by Alamo.
Photo courtesy of Alamo Drafthouse Kansas City.
KCAI Screening Room's mission is to raise appreciation for cinema and help build a cross-departmental community where students can create dialogues about time-based media and be exposed to new or important films outside of the studio setting. The group has partnered with Alamo Drafthouse to host the screenings and the events are open to all KCAI students and faculty as well as to the public.The group aims to build a sense of cohesion among students at KCAI and create a connection between KCAI and the larger community.
Fall 2013's curatorial panel includes Erin Kennedy (senior, animation), Ernesto Flores (junior, digital filmmaking), Derek Hutsell (senior, photography), Kendall Brush (junior, digital filmmaking), and Noah Geiger (freshman, foundations).
Each screening will begin with an informal discussion of the film's importance and end with an opportunity for further conversation. Films will range from the critically acclaimed to cult fare. KCAI SR screenings are free to KCAI students, faculty and staff by showing your ID badge. Family and friends may attend for $5.
All films are shown on Saturday afternoon at Alamo Drafthouse Kansas City, 1400 Main St.
Pictured: KCAI Screening Room founding members Erin Kennedy, Mintra Greer, Matthew Lloyd and Ryan Pechnick, and faculty advisor Trey Hock, special instructor of photography and digital filmmaking.
Titles may change due to availability or scheduling conflicts. Our curatorial panel will attempt to choose comparable titles, but all of the films are chosen based on cultural, cinematic, or historical importance and are worth checking out. We will always give as much advanced notice as possible when title changes must occur.

You'd think a donkey booty workout video would bring people together, not tear them apart. But alas, it seems this donkey's come between Kenya and Phaedra. Will they able to get past all this booty business?
No. 3 - Do the Funky Donkey with Me
I must confess, some of those workout moves looked kind of fun. Watching Phaedra do her little squat dance made me really want to do a class with her. You'd probably be laughing half the time rather than seriously working out, but hey, laughing is good for the abs, right?
Conversely, Apollo is all business and it scares me. He's like that intimidating trainer you see at the gym telling some poor unfortunate soul to "push through the pain" while they sweat out roughly half their weight. (You then of course run an extra three minutes on the treadmill to make yourself feel better about your own comparatively feeble efforts to stay in shape.)
I have a feeling that in their good cop/bad cop video, a lot of people are going to be fast forwarding Apollo's bench press a car sections to do the Funky Donkey with Phaedra.

My Latest Trick for Passing Time with Children.
I always like to have a supply of games to use to pass the time with my children. Stuck in a line, stuck in traffic, stuck in a doctor's office…it's helpful to have a big arsenal of child-pleasing activities at the ready.
Here's our latest game, and I have to say, I enjoy it as much as my children. It's called "Name That Book."We take turns quoting a line from a favorite picture book, and everyone has to guess which book it's from. You don't have to get the quotation exactly right, of course, but just supply enough for it to be recognizable. That's all there is to it, but it's surprisingly fun.
"Goodnight air." (Goodnight Moon)
"And because she was a good mother, even though she was a cow…" (The Story of Ferdinand)
"Kerplink, kerplank, kerplunk!" (Blueberries for Sal)
"'No, she is not,' Jane politely explained." (Is Your Mama a Llama?)
"Look at me, look at me, look at me now! It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how." [this statement actually has profound meaning for a happiness project, by the way] (The Cat in the Hat)
The game can be made more difficult by quoting the more obscure passages. For example, "And it was still hot," is a lot tougher than "Let the wild rumpus start!" (Where the Wild Things Are)
Because we've all read those picture books a million times, it's easy for everyone to come up with those lines. It never fails to surprise me how easily time with children can switch from cheery to whiny, and back again. Little games like this one help keep the mood light. Have you found any good techniques to keep your children entertained?
The days are long, but the years are short.

Physical Description:
A coyote is less than two feet tall and weighs an average of 22 pounds. The color can be from white to gray, sometimes with a reddish tint. Coyotes are easily distinguishable by there long and pointed features. Their nose, less than one inch wide, is very pointed for smelling prey. The tail is half the length of the body and extremely thick. When running, a coyote will erect its ears. A coyote very much resembles a coy dog, which is a cross between a domestic dog and a coyote.
Diet and Feeding Habits:
Coyotes predate on elk, deer, ground nesting birds, pocket gophers, any rodents, and domestic dogs or cats. Although coyotes usually have a steady diet of meat, they are scavengers which means they could also eat berries if needed. The coyote is such a great hunter because it can hunt both in the daytime and at night. The coyote's only main predator is the mountain lion, however on a rare occasion a grizzly bear may predate a coyote.
When a coyote becomes four years old, it attempts to find a mate. A coyote's courtship for a mate usually begins two to three months before the mating begins. The average litter of a coyote is usually around six. The younger female coyotes usually have litters sooner than the elder coyotes. About sixty percent of all female coyotes mate each year. However, when a young and old coyote mate, usually less of their cubs survive. In fact, only about 25 percent of old coyote's and a yearling coyote's young survive past the first six months. A study in 2001 recorded that only fifty to sixty percent of coyote's reach adulthood.
PRESENT STATUS: LEAST CONCERN according to the Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Animal Watch
The coyote can live in many places. In North America the coyote populations stretch from Alaska to Southern Mexico. Coyotes only need a couple things to survive: they need satisfactory prey, and no lack of water. The coyote (because of its scavenger ways) does not stay in one place for a long time. They have been known to kill an animal for its shelter as well as for food.
Role in the Ecosystem:
The coyote's role in the ecosystem is as one of the top predators. The coyote is a scavenger who hunts both day and night. The canis latrans has a very important role in the ecosystem, it can help keep down the populations of many different organisms. Without an animal like the coyote in an ecosystem, the ecosystem would suffer greatly, for those animals (the prey) would become over populated and leave no food or shelter for any of the other animals. Because of the coyote the ecosystem supports more biodiversity, or different types of animals. This happens because each time a coyote reduces the population of an animal by harvesting it, this is leaving extra food and shelter for another species to move into the ecosystem. A coyote's niche can vary. It could live in suburban areas and also urban ones. You most likely will hear a coyote before you see it, they have a high-pitched yip or howl that can usually be heard at dusk, sunrise, or at night. The coyote has adapted and its diurnal habits have quickly become more and more nocturnal. The pressure of humans has caused them to do so. The coyote is a scavenger, an animal that eats whatever it can find. However there are other names an animal could be called regarding what it eats, here they are: CARNIVORE: This organism eats only meat. HERBIVORE: This organism eats only plants OMNIVORE: This animal eats both meat and plants

It's hard to believe that a baseball player who pitched more innings in the Minor Leagues than the Majors over the last three seasons could be as polarizing to Blue Jays fans as Jeremy Accardo (pictured above in the most uncomfortable photo op of recent memory).
Accardo came to Toronto in 2006 as a part of the deal that got Shea Hillenbrand out of harm's way, or as it was known at the time: John Gibbons' way. When B.J. Ryan's back problems turned into an elbow injury (it's not a lie if we know the truth), Accardo became the interim closer in 2007, collecting 30 saves and putting above average numbers up across the board (or rather, across his FanGraphs player page).
He started 2008 as the Jays closer but before he could hand the baton to the returning B.J. Ryan, a forearm injury sidelined him for what ended up being most of the year. Returning in 2009, new manager Senile Gaston had the "brilliant" intention of stretching out his arm (after most of his previous season was lost to injury) and turning him into a starter. After ten games in Spring Training, Accardo had thrown more innings than any other Blue Jays pitcher.
By the end of the Spring, Accardo was sent back to the bullpen where he pitched well, but the inflated numbers due to his ill advised role swap likely influenced the decision of management to send him to Triple A to start the season. From there he was jerked around more than the genitalia of teenage boy: recalled in June, sent back in August, recalled the next day, optioned back ten days later and then recalled again in September.
Despite the unwelcome hand job from Blue Jays management, Accardo still managed to win awards in Las Vegas as the best reliever in the Pacific Coast League. In the offseason, he was convinced by incoming general manager Alex Anthopoulos that he'd be given every chance to succeed and play on the big club in 2010.
Seeing no action for the first two weeks of the season before being put in three times in five games, then getting an eight day break before pitching twice in three days, was not Accardo's idea of being set up for success. He was demoted for the remainder of the season, and despite the endorsement of coaches in Triple A, didn't even receive a September call up.
In late August, Accardo finally complained about his treatment to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The article drew the ire of some Blue Jays fans who didn't believe it was ever in the best interest of a baseball player to publicly complain.
The Accardo-haters also pointed to his diminished velocity since his 30 save performance in 2007 as reason for his inability to stick at the Major League level. But if you look at the average speed of his pitches during 2008 and 2009, they're actually well in line with 2007. There's a drop off in 2010, but the velocity slow down can be somewhat justified considering he sat in the bullpen without making a single appearance for the first two weeks of the year.
In a move that was likely in the best interest of everyone involved, Accardo wasn't tendered a contract at this year's deadline and he became a free agent. The Baltimore Orioles stepped up yesterday and the two teams came to an agreement on a one year deal that will pay the former Jays closer the exact same amount of money that he made last season languishing in Las Vegas: $1.08 million.
Accardo should finally be given the opportunity he's been seeking in Baltimore's bullpen. And now Blue Jays fans will finally be able to find out if Accardo was being held back because of performance issues or because of something more personal.

Thanks for all the great info - I am new to this process, and it has been very helpful. Your comments have convinced me to head for the Sealy SpringFree series, although I've noticed a few comments that they are discontinuing it. Can you still find them in stores? And if Sealy is re-marketing them under different names (Does Stearns & Foster have the same mattress?), then what should I look for in the stores? I realize that the easiest thing might be to order from your website on-line, but I'd love to find and try one in a nearby store. Finally, is Sealy's new "Embody" line similar to the old SpringFree? Thanks for your help!
Hi Matt. It is going to be difficult, if not impossible, to find them in a store. The new Embody line is not nearly as good as the Springfree models. None of them have a latex core...just a few inches of latex on top of a poly foam core. They were also carried under the S&F Tropical Oasis label.

They will soon be on our website. Call us with any questions.

Does anyone know anywhere Lopper handles are sold? One of my Fiskars lopper handles broke, the company replaced the lopper with a new one. The metal part of the old lopper is still perfectly fine; I would like to find a place to buy a substitute for the broken one or buy a pair. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The good news is I know of many places to buy lopper handles, the bad news is they are already attached to loppers. Of course, with the way manufacturing, distribution and sales are today two replacement handles would probably cost more than a new lopper. |
I got one at my local ACE Hardware 10-15 yrs ago. I suspect if they still sell them online, that evdpgh would be correct. |

In the spring of 2007, as the last of their three children was coming up on her high school graduation, Steve and Joni Harman were making plans to move out of their house in Yellowstone Country Club Estates.
They looked at various houses and condominiums around town, Joni Harman said, but "we really weren't seeing anything that grabbed us."
Then they met with Randy Hafer, an architect who has helped develop numerous condominiums and loft apartments in downtown Billings. By May, they had signed a year lease on one of Hafer's two-story loft apartments in the Oliver Building at Montana Avenue and North 27th Street.
After they'd been living there about seven months, the Harmans began looking into what they would do next. They considered buying a condo, but they also thought of building a new house. They talked to Hafer again, partly because he had some experience with building "green," eco-friendly houses, which they were interested in.
At the end of a long conversation in which they discussed a variety of possibilities, Joni Harman said, Hafer told them, "You know, there is one other thing."
That one other thing was a vacant, for-sale building on the 2600 block of Minnesota Avenue, and that afterthought launched the Harmans on their new career as developers.
They purchased the building and are preparing to convert it into as many as 10 apartments, with possibly some kind of commercial space on the ground floor.
"The opportunity just presented itself, and we jumped at it," Joni Harman said. "If we hadn't lived downtown in a loft, we wouldn't have known enough - certainly not enough to buy a building."
As it was, their own experience downtown convinced them that others will want to be part of that experience.
"Living downtown, we've discovered so much of what we missed," Steven Harman said.
He is an attorney with an office in the Transwestern Plaza on North 31st Street, so he can walk to work and to the YMCA to work out. The Harmans said they've also learned to appreciate all the live outdoor music downtown, the Alberta Bair Theater, the Farmers' Market and a downtown grocery store, the Good Earth Market.
Steve Harman said they wouldn't have bought the Swift Building, as it is now known, if a plan to create a downtown "quiet zone" hadn't been in the works. The quiet zone is expected to be in place by early 2009, after which trains passing through downtown Billings will no longer have to sound their horns.
That will make a big difference to a wide area of downtown Billings, but will most affect buildings like the Harmans', the back of which is about 75 feet from the main rail line. Many of the buildings on the north side of the tracks, fronting Montana Avenue, are only about 40 feet from the trains.
The two-story building at 2605 Minnesota Ave. that the Harmans purchased was built by Swift & Co. as a meat-processing plant in 1916 and was used most recently to process potatoes into french fries, hash browns and other products.
The Harmans plan to live in a 1,600-square-foot apartment on the second floor, and Joni's sister and her husband are thinking of renting the other second-story apartment. Because the land on which the building sits is still owned by Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railway, the Harmans cannot sell condos in the building.
There is about 4,000 square feet of space on each floor. One unique feature is a 10-foot-square chamber that rises from the basement floor to the top of the building. It was used to smoke meats, Steve Harman said, but they will add a floor on each level to make another usable room. In their apartment, he said, he plans to put a window or two in the chamber and convert it into a home office.
The Harmans also hope to buy a vacant structure - a set of joined Quonset huts that served as a shop - just to the west of their building and use it for secure parking.
The Harmans' enthusiasm for downtown living might be their best selling point.
"We really, really like living downtown," Joni Harman said.

Sennheiser Offers Web-based Frequency Finder
Old Lyme, CT - Oct 15, 2007 - Sennheiser has unveiled a frequency finder tool that interfaces with the FCC TV broadcast database. The Sennheiser Frequency Finder (www.sennheiserusa.com/frequencyfinder) is designed to help wireless mic users quickly retrieve information about unused TV station frequencies based on a city or zip code search.
While the interface provides a convenient method of locating spectrum that is not licensed for a TV station's transmission in a given location, it does not provide information about any other use of what could be perceived as available spectrum. For this reason, users should also contact the local Society of Broadcast Engineers Frequency Coordinator (sbe.org) to verify that a desired channel is actually available.

- sourceforge.net
- ROOT \ Linux Distributions
Available only for modern, 64-bit computers
This Ubuntu remix is available only for modern, 64-bit (x86_64/amd64) computers. It's distributed as a Live DVD ISO image or approximately 2GB in size, which must be written to either a blank DVD disc or a USB thumb drive of 2GB or higher capacity.
Boot prompt à la Ubuntu Linux
The boot prompt of OWASP Mantra-OS is identical with the one used on the main Ubuntu release, designed to start the live system in about seven seconds from the moment the user boots the DVD disc or USB thumb from the BIOS of a PC, prompting users with the ability to enter the live session or install the OS.
Pressing any keyboard key during the 7-second boot timeout, will allow you to select a different language for the live environment (default is English), boot the live session directly, start the graphical installer, check the integrity of the bootable medium (only if using a DVD media), run a memory test or boot from the first disk.
Welcome to the Mantra desktop
Please note that the OS has been designed with security in mind, which means that you will be dropped to a login screen, where you'll have to log in with the "mantra-os" username and without any password.
The Mantra desktop is unique, providing users with a transparent taskbar on the upper side of the screen and a main menu à la ElementaryOS. It is actually a highly customized Xfce desktop environment.
Includes a wide range of open source applications for penetration testing
As expected from such a distro, OWASP Mantra-OS includes a wide range of open source applications for penetration testing tasks. Some of them can be accessed directly from the taskbar, others from within the main menu.
Bottom line
In conclusion, OWASP Mantra-OS is a great open-source operating system designed with security in mind, providing users with some of the coolest tools for penetration testing operations.
OWASP Mantra-OS was reviewed by Marius Nestor, last updated on September 13th, 2014

Survey Finds High Rate of Spanking in North Carolina Kids Under 2
A recent survey by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, found that thirty percent of North Carolina mothers of children less than 2 two years old say they have spanked their children in the last year. The survey was published in Frontiers in Child and Neurodevelopmental Psychiatry. The researchers say the survey is concerning being spanking has been associated with poor self-esteem; impaired parent–child relationships; child and adult mental health problems; substance abuse; and an increased likelihood of spanking one's own children.
EPA Finalizes New Smokestack Emissions Rule
The Environmental Protection Agency has issued final regulations aimed at cutting air pollution from power plants in more than 20 states. The new rules will require that the power plants install new technology to reduce the levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions that travel across states via wind and weather.
Pre-Swimming Showers Underenforced by Parents
Only about a quarter of parents make their kids shower before spending time at a water park, according to a survey from the University of Michigan. Showering is crucial because it can remove many germs from a child's skin that can then spread to others playing in the water.

In both The Passion of the Christ and the golf biopic Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, Jim Caviezel speaks softly and carries a big piece of wood. Here, he tells EW his favorite ''Jesus goes golfing'' joke.
This old man, Jesus, and Tiger Woods are out playing. Tiger hits the ball and it lands on the green; the old man turns to Tiger and says, ''Nice shot.'' Jesus gets up there, lands the ball on the green, and it rolls in; the old man and Tiger say, ''Nice shot, Jesus.'' The old man hits the ball, and it lands in the water, [where] a fish swallows it. An eagle comes down and hoists the fish out of the water, and the ball pops out of the fish's mouth from the eagle's talons, lands on the green, and rolls in. Jesus turns to the old man and says, ''You're a show-off, Dad!''

Of course, as soon as the girls arrive for mindless self-centered discussion, we side with Adam, who really doesn't need to be there for this, it turns out. Shoshanna's justifying her promiscuity by claiming a balance of freedom and academic focus. "I think that sounds smart and strong and feminist," offers Hannah. There's no way she's really listening; whenever the girls are together, the puffs of self-indulgence almost visibly emanate from each chair and never intersect. "Really smart," agrees Marnie, whose entire existence is still understandably wrapped up in how Charlie ditched her (which coincides appropriately with Christopher Abbott leaving the show), right when they had purchased the ingredients for grilled pizzas. (LOL at grilled pizzas, of course.) "If you can avoid love and feelings and matters of the heart and soul," suggests Marnie, "you will be so much better off."
"That's the saddest thing I've ever heard," announces Adam, and then he launches into one of his FIERCE TRUTH TALKS. Honestly, Girls should market this. I'd spend…hmm, I don't know, maybe $39.99 (tops) on an Adam toy that just delivered sh*t to you straight, right when you need a reality check. He told Marnie about an ex-girlfriend from Colombia the country/Columbia University whom he never truly knew at all. I'll let Adam's eloquence take over: "Just because I tasted her cum and spit and could tell you her middle name or a record she liked, that's not a connection. Anyone could have that. Really knowing someone is something else. It's a completely different thing, and when it happens, you won't be able to miss it. You will be aware. And you won't hurt. Or be afraid. Okay?"
Gah! Adam! He's such a turd, then suddenly he's a gleaming gem. One of the best love-hate characters ever.
After some passionate but not too animalistic sex, Adam and Hannah's tattoos reflect on the evening with her friends. "I hate them so much more when I'm not in the same place as them!" Hannah exclaims. So it's a….compliment? Spending time with them in person is a teensy bit less intolerable than thinking about the idea of them? Again, Hannah: Make more friends. You do not like these friends.
But another friend, an unknown caller, is on the line. It's abandonment expert Jessa, who last abandoned Hannah at the train station near her dad's house. She needs to be rescued from rehab. And 24-year-old eBook ingenues cannot rent their own cars. Guess what, Adam? We're going on a ROAD TRIP! [Huge thud as Adam drops out of bed to the floor as if in a body bag.]
As Maroon 5 would have it, we've got "One More Night'"s worth of Girls in this two-part premiere. So crank up the radio… before Adam aggressively punches it out! Good one, guys. Never seen that one before.
"We are really giving of ourselves, being, like, models of female friendship," says Shoshanna in the backseat. No need for the real deal. Constructing a diorama of friendship will do just fine. "I am giving up so much writing time, all for her," whines Hannah. "This isn't for my health."
NEXT: 'What's your favorite utensil'?

The Tigers of Texas documentary
Some experts believe there are more tigers in Texas than any other single place on earth! Since the summer of 2011 I have worked on a documentary that will examine the controversy of exotic big cats as pets and how one woman is trying to help "The Tigers of Texas".
Pro Bono* Big Cat Video's for In-Sync Exotics:
A New Toy. The tigers discover something unexpected in their exercise yard at In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue Center. This is the most-viewed video the sanctuary has ever had.
Swimming with Tigers. What would happen if a 600-pound bengal tigers surprised you in your backyard swimming pool? This video was featued nationwide on a syndicated viral video television show.
Coffee With Kahn. Volunteer Marcia enjoy a morning cup of joe with her adopted friend, Kahn.
Big Cats and Pumpkins. Halloween means a special treat for the big cats.
Tyjar's Play Cam. One playful tiger would rather eat the HD video camera than sit for a picture.
* I donate my time to produce video's "Pro Bono" to support In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue and Education Center, a (501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a home for 60+ rescued big cats.

A little over a month ago, we heard word that the NHL was considering creating a "Diver's List." As in, putting together an official roster of guys with a history of diving with the intent of somehow shaming them publicly, and hoping they'll do it less.
Darren Dreger wrote about the concept yesterday for TSN.ca:
Players, coaches, managers and officials who participated in league meetings in August agreed embellishment has once again become an issue.
Vancouver Canucks centre Ryan Kesler has been identified as an offender. While Kesler plays the game hard, he has been known to exaggerate contact to gain an advantage.
He goes on to highlight Evgeni Malkin and Dan Carcillo as another two names that would likely be on the list, before getting to what the punishment would be: Read the rest of this entry »

MS PowerPoint is the most widely-used MS Office application that is used in almost every corporate house, educational institute and many other organizations for creating training materials, product presentations, company annual reports, and much more. MS PowerPoint (PPT) files are prone to corruption due to their difficult structures and large sizes.
On detecting corruption of PowerPoint presentation files, the users usually prefer to recreate the PPT slides. But, recreating PPT files is not an easy task as it takes ample amount of time and the situation becomes trickier when the PPT file gets corrupt just before it needs to be presented. In such a situation, a need of prominent third-party PowerPoint Presentation Repair tool arises. Kernel for PowerPoint is an eminent tool developed with extra-ordinary features that repairs corrupt, damaged or inaccessible Presentation files with complete accuracy.
The software fully supports all kinds of Presentation file formats like .PPT, .PPTX, .PPS and .PPSX. The utility accurately recovers all lost and deleted slides, master slides, objects, images, tables, animations, sound files, basic shapes, Media Player files, Word Art, stars and banners, callouts and all other data used while creating PPT slides. The software thoroughly scans damaged Presentation files and extracts all images, objects, text, and animations and restores them in a new Presentation file.
Available Two Recovery Modes:
Standard Mode:- This recovery mode effectively recovers majorly-corrupted .PPT and .PPTX files having large size. But in some cases, images or objects are recovered in raw format which is further required to be organized in the file. This mode works in a three step process: First images are recovered, then texts are recovered, and at last objects are recovered.
Integrated Mode It is the fastest mode of data recovery that recovers presentation files having minor corruption. In this mode, the tool accurately recovers data from Presentation files and maintains the original formatting of PPT files.
After performing accurate data recovery, Kernel for PowerPoint software saves recovered files in a separate folder containing all extracted text, images, and files separately.

Happy Paczki Day!
Hurray, it is Fat Tuesday! I race home from work and log on at CM hoping to wish everyone a joyous holiday. I go to Messages, and to my surprise there are no "Happy Paczki Day" emotigrams! "Oh no" I say (doing my best Mr Bill impersonation). Are none of the CM staff members of Polish decent? So sure, there are several emotigrams for that "other" special day coming up. But is Valentines Day associated with the 4,000 calorie, jelly filled, sugary-coated goodness that is a Paczki? Of course not! But I won't let that get me down. I say to everyone with my head held high, Happy Paczki Day! If you don't have Paczki in you area, you can join in the celbration by eating a regular jelly doughnut.
