School board sells two buildings for $600
After twice dropping its asking price, the Dell Rapids School Board is finally parting ways with the two unattached classrooms that sit to the west of the old elementary school.At the board's Monday, May 13 meeting, the south building was sold for $300 to Curt and Linda Olson of Dell Rapids.Up until March, the school board had a difficult time getting some use out of two buildings since they were vacated when the district's elementary operations moved to the new facility in December of 2011.In August 2012 the board had the buildings appraised and soon after listed them for sale at $2,250 each. Because the cost of moving the buildings was expected to be more than the cost of the building – about $5,000 to transport each structure –the district didn't get a single offer.The board then had the buildings reappraised at $2,025, but again saw no interest.
Wanting to get some use from the buildings –built in the mid-1990s for $30,582 each – board members suggested the shop classes might be able to implement them into their learning. However, after being advised by administration, the board agreed allowing students in them could be a liability because the buildings aren't insured.Back to where they started, the board earlier this spring appraised the building to be worth less than $500 and not long after approved a $300 offer by Scott Crisp of Dell Rapids for the north building.

Justin Bieber has a habit of getting into trouble, but this time he's found himself in the middle of the world's biggest geopolitical controversy.
The Biebs inadvertantly offended millions with his visit to Japan's controversial Yasukuni war shrine this week.
The shrine is generally seen by China and South Korea as a symbol of Japan's militarism and lack of remorse, according to the South China Morning Post.
Bieber removed photos of his visit from Instagram and issued an apology Wednesday morning.
"To anyone I have offended I am extremely sorry," he said, adding "I love you China and I love you Japan."

I was going through my food photos and came across a few that I thought would be fun to share. These are ones that somehow got lost in posts I meant to write or got caught up in the dilemma of having nothing to say except that this tastes really good or got thrown to the wolves as just too basic to share. But, let's take a short trip through some of my archives and see what we can come up with.
So this is simple syrup infused with dried roses. I've made simple syrup here before, and while the mint version is fabulous, the rose variety is lovely to look at but that's where the loveliness ends.
This here is rainbow challah — my standard recipe filled with sprinkles and formed into a round challah for Rosh Hashana. This tradition was passed on to me by part of my extended Atlanta family.
These are some vegetables that I tossed with a balsamic reduction vinaigrette. The star here was clearly the vinaigrette. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the recipe that I used as my starting point. I remember reducing the balsamic by about a third, mixing with olive oil, salt, pepper, and mustard. And tossing it over sliced peppers and blanched asparagus.
Mmmm…yet another quinoa recipe. Actually, this one is worth sharing.
Lemon-Tahina Quinoa
Inspired by 101 Cookbooks' Lemon-scented Quinoa Salad.
- 1 C quinoa (I used a mix of white and red quinoa)
- 2 C water or amount called for by your quinoa package
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1/4 C tahina
- 1/4 C lemon juice
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T boiling water
- 1 can garbanzo beans
- chives
Make quinoa. Prepare quinoa as directed on package, or bring water to a boil, add salt and quinoa and return to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cover for ~15 minutes. Remove from heat when the water has been absorbed and allow to cool, covered for 3-5 minutes.
Make dressing. Whisk the garlic, tahina, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add in boiling water to thin and salt to taste.
Assemble salad. Toss quinoa and garbanzo beans with dressing. Cut chives over top of salad before serving.

Thomas is my fave, a wimpy Keanu Reeves.
He paused. Thomas, retreating into himself out of fear, was acutely aware of only two sounds - the Colonel's breathing and his own heartbeat; one slow and measured, the other racing frantically. The only two noises the frightened Boer could make out in that cramped and terrifyinging little room. Van Moordenaar, after what seemed like an age, bent down so that his mouth was next to Thomas' ear, and when his voice came it was a slow, sibilant whisper.
"Have you heard of Darwin? Another triumph of Empire. This is about evolution, Mr Van Anders, evolution. Look outside that window. Look at the bodies, the camps and the burning farms. You've had your time. The future is our world, Mr Van Anders, the future is our time."

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas House committee is considering a bill that would force the state education department to write new math and English standards.
The standards would replace the Common Core math and English standards adopted in 2010. The bill would specifically prohibit the state and school districts from using the Common Core standards or spending any money on them.
Deputy education commissioner Brad Neuenswander told the education board Wednesday that writing new standards and tests to go with them would take two years and cost millions of dollars.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports some opponents of the standards argue that the federal government pressured Kansas into adopting them.
But the education department says the standards are state-driven and will ensure better math and English instruction.

Marcus Storr Beverly Chandler, Opalesque London:
Delegates at the Opalesque Roundtable Frankfurt, sponsored by Eurex, WTS and Taussig Capital discussed the relative merits of alternative UCITS.
Marcus Storr, Head of Hedge Funds at Feri said that another factor that helps bring more alternative knowledge of hedge funds into Germany is that lots of very successful and well known offshore hedge funds have launched UCITS hedge funds.
He said: "Offshore hedge fund knowledge and strategies are now distributed through UCITS
into continental Europe. This is very beneficial to the German market as it provides
additional hedge fund expertise to the investors."
However, Carsten Straush, CEO of the German Asset Managers Group expressed concern. "That is a great development, but I am still wondering how deep the investors' understanding has
really developed. I am afraid some may assume that UCITS are "safe" because they are regulated. Moreover, what we
have found analyzing UCITS is that the regulatory restrictions in running such a fund do in fact cost a lot of money. If I

Phoronix: Composite Bypass Support Sharply Bumps XMir's Performance
Composition bypass support finally landed this morning into the mainline Mir code-base ahead of the Ubuntu 13.10 feature-freeze. With the feature being merged and packages already being pushed into the 13.10 archive, benchmarks at Phoronix have already been conducted. The benchmarks to share this afternoon are of the Mir/XMir packages from yesterday against the Mir packages today with composite bypass support. Lastly, there are benchmarks of a pure X.Org Server running on the same hardware to look at the performance impact and current (reduced) overhead of Mir.
In before "CANONICAL IS THE DEVIL!!!11!" comments.
Good news for XMir users
As expected, it's still somewhat slower than pure X.org, but better is better.
I'll test it later on my testbox and give my opinion.

UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
RODE Overview
Rise of Dragonian Era (RODE) offers players the ability to ride on the backs of dragons in both player-version-enemy and player-versus-player combat. Each of the four classes in game has two specializations to choose from, offering a variety of options. Additionally, the game offers a detailed mount and pet system, as well as achievements, to give players many things to enjoy while playing.
RODE Screenshots
RODE Featured Video
RODE Review
Rise of Dragonian Era, otherwise known as RODE, is the latest offering from Netgame. Similar to MMORPGs like Runes of Magic and Gates of Andaron (4Story), RODE promises a complex class system and fast-paced player-versus-player combat. Oh, and you also get to fly around on a dragon and battle in the skies.
Installation Woes
Trying to launch RODE is an exercise in frustration. First, you log into the RODE website and download a file that downloads the game client. Then, depending on what web browser you use, there is a separate plug-in that needs to be installed to actually launch the game. While the game is not browser-based, its browser-launch system ends up being more complicated than most desktop installed games.
The Start of a Legend
After an opening cinematic, you choose between two factions: Firean and Azurian. Each faction has three races to choose from. Firean has Halfkin, Asrai and Shedi; Azurians boast Kaebi, Orial and Sinkong. The Halfkin and Kaebi are the short races; Halfkin are decidedly elfish looking, while the Kaebi are more devilish. Asrai are definitely elvish, and the Orial's are human. Finally, Shedi and Sinkong are bestial races – Wolf and Monkey respectively – that can only be male.
Your next choice is between one of four classes: Fighter, Ranger, Wizard and Darkmage. Classes are locked by race: Orial and Asrai cannot choose Darkmage, Halfkin and Kaebi cannot be Wizards, and Shedi and Sinkong are restricted to Fighter and Ranger.
Once you've chosen your class, you get the option of a few face types, face shapes (makeup or facial hair), hair styles, and costume colors. You'll also choose skin and hair color as well. RODE differs from many free-to-play games, however, by offering two additional creation screens after these basic selections are made. These screens contain various sliders that control body shape, face shape, and more, allowing you to create a one-of-a-kind character.
Learning the Ropes
After creating a character, you will be treated to another cinematic, which details your character's backstory. The backstory is mostly the same for both factions, with very minor differences. When you're given control of your character, you'll find there are no tutorials to be had, except for instructions on moving your character. No direction is given on how to interact with NPCs, how to interact with objects, how to attack, or other basic game controls.
Right click is utilized for most actions in RODE, including interacting with NPCs, gathering from crafting nodes, looting chests dropped from monsters, and using skills on your action bars. You're given three starting quests in the first area, which, while designed to teach you these controls, fail in their intended role.
Them's Fightin' Words
Combat in RODE follows a classical MMORPG format. You auto-attack with your equipped weapons, and can use a variety of class skills. Skills are activated using the number keys, or by right clicking on the icon on the action bar. Most basic enemies are defeated easily; however, expect to take a lot of damage. RODE is designed with grouping in mind, and tougher monsters are nearly impossible to solo. Fortunately, anyone who attacks the tougher monsters will get quest credit, although only the first person to attack it will get loot. Targeting can also be a major problem; using Tab to find the nearest target can and will target things behind you, not just in your field of vision.
All enemies drop chests upon death, which are then looted for money, and occasionally, items. Money is very tight early on, and training becomes more costly as you rank up your skills. At higher levels, chests gain the ability to sometimes be a mimic, which attack you when you try to open them. Defeating a mimic rewards you more money and better loot.
I Don't See Nothing Wrong …
Leveling up in RODE is slow. Each level earns your character a new skill. At level 10, you can choose one of two specializations for your character, each with a different playstyle. Every level after 10, you also earn a talent point that you can use to enhance your specialization's abilities.
There are many quests to do in RODE to help you level, though they seem to taper off at higher levels. An achievement system offers a plethora of achievements to obtain, as each area you discover, each monster you defeat, and each node you gather from are tallied. This always means there's some task you can perform while playing. There is also battleground and open-world PvP for players to engage in.
RODE also features crafting in the form of gathering and crafting skills. Gathering from resource nodes levels up the specific gathering skill (mining, fishing, and extracting), and you can select a crafting skill from Alchemy, Metalworking, Jewelcrafting and Tailoring. You can only learn one crafting skill, but you automatically learn all three gathering skills.
Butterfly in the Sky
RODE's primary focus is its dragon system. Before you reach level 10, you'll obtain a dragon egg that requires your help to hatch. The egg is a minipet that follows you around. When you use your pet in combat, its loyalty will rise. To hatch your dragon egg, you must raise its loyalty to 100%, and obtain an item rarely dropped by difficult monsters. Eventually, this dragon is supposed to become your companion in the skies, although the system has not yet been implemented.
You'll also receive a mount from a quest fairly early on, which also functions off the loyalty system. Mounts can be used to fight with, which is a nice departure from many games where they are merely transport. Using mounts to attack builds their fatigue, which can only be reduced by purchasing items from a vendor. The mount and pet system is woefully unexplained in the game, leaving you to figure them out on your own.
Final Verdict: Fair
RODE does some things well: NPCs have at least one voice-acted line when you interact with them, the game's graphics are high quality, and the ability to fly on a dragon is quite appealing. The game is, however, bogged down by a variety of issues. Death carries a stiff experience loss to it, taking away huge chunks of progress and time. Crafting items requires an additional fee, on top of the fee to learn the recipe, and the cost of the materials you must purchase from a vendor. Finally, various graphical issues, such as objects not being solid, allow for many situations where players can get stuck and must wait for a GM to free them. If the idea of challenging, party-based play sounds appealing, though, you might get some mileage out of RODE.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
Despite the glamour of the World Cup and the excitement of the professional basketball and hockey playoffs, baseball remains America's pastime. It's a game that links generations.
The pinnacle of a pitcher's career is the "perfect game" — when not one batter reaches base. It's a once-in-a-lifetime achievement and immortalizes the pitcher's career. It can also mean financial rewards, if the player has a performance clause in his contract.
Earlier this season, a young pitcher was moments away from achieving a perfect game. On a routine play, a batter from the opposing team was ruled "safe" and awarded a base hit, thus robbing the young pitcher of a perfect game. The umpire, an experienced veteran with impeccable credentials, made a bad call. Replay confirmed the umpire's mistake.
The umpire was devastated. The young pitcher was devastated. The pitcher's manager was devastated. A firestorm of controversy ignited.
And yet the next day, the pitcher, the umpire and the manager stood side by side at home plate in a gesture of reconciliation and forgiveness. The umpire publicly admitted that he'd made a mistake and had taken away a moment of glory for the young pitcher. The young baseball player graciously accepted the apology. The hometown fans — most of them anyway — responded with warm applause for the umpire.
The situation was unfortunate, but the response was instructive. The umpire demonstrated how important it is to admit when you've made a mistake and to apologize to those who've been harmed. In turn, the pitcher and the manager modeled forgiveness. These gentlemen are real-life role models for today's sports fans, young and old.

I live in San Antonio, Texas..so you may not want to listen to me..I find that the Doctors DO NOT LISTEN when you want to tell them somtiheng..I have had to do a LOT of reading and research to take care of myself..In my case my blood pressure was uncontrollable..it would run as high as 210/110 each time they would want me to go to the emergency room.I would go..be given Demorol, or Fentyynil, and the blood pressure never went down they would keep me 8 hours then release me noting that I should stay stress free and rest alot..stay out of the sun..and then they would Rx me another B/P med..with terrible side effects/or I would break out in a rash, throat would close and then it would start all over again..all the time I kept telling the Doctors I was in tremendous pain, from Arthritis..then they gave me equinil I am nut So I decided to take care of me..I started going out side..drininking oodles of water, tea, no soda,I stopped eating all things that cause uric acid in the blood and began eating KALE by the bunch all were OLD remedys used many moons ago, Indians, and the chinese..I drank Hybiscus tea no more pain no more swelling, no more fatique, no more sleepless nights..and now I have a B/P of 158/78..still high but I have not been on this regime very long..only about a month..so I have lost trust in any Doctors and depend on myself..I am still on Maxide, but my goal is to get off all medication..this is the last one left..my hair grows soo fast I have to get a hair cut ever
When you choose to be happy one's decision is to be released from anger and stress is by forgiveness. It is quite hard to do but it should be your goal that you have to pursue. It is the wisest choice anyone can do to themselves.
Textbook example of what we can choose when someone does something that hurts another. Offender leads with his weakness and admits his failure. Victim smiles and graciously accepts offender's apology. Very good outcome, since baseball is a game. Would have been sad to see grown people sore over something like that.
But what about those times (seemingly more than the above) when the offender makes no admission of wrongdoing? If the victim still chooses to forgive, they are taking a step to be released from hurt and emotional upset. That the offender isn't participating becomes irrelevant, since the healing power of forgiveness is intended for everyone.
I have experienced this spiritual principle as truth.
The illust is a classical example not only of forgiveness, magnanimity but also demonstration of Team working and graciously standing up for our team member's weaknesses. The members in the example are most likely to trust each other and perform better in future attempts.
A brilliant example for me, a behavioural trainer, to demonstrate humility to own up a mistake, forgiveness, trust among team members and teamworking
That is a very good illustration of deflating a stessful situation. One must be emotionally mature to be able to swallow one's pride and apologize. How does one gain emotional maturity? Can teenage insults interfere with emotional growth and lead to General Anxiety Disorder which lasts until old age?
Just ask W.W.Y.D? (What would Yogi do?) Keep things in proper perspective!
Barb made an excellent point about fear. It's often debilitating as well as inhibiting. It stops us from being genuine. Just thinking about admitting faults or being vulnerable build stress and highlight negative self-image. The three guys in the article remembered what's important in their life and made a pint to remind us as well.
This topic is very intriguing to me as saving face seems to be an intense pursuit by people. Humility and admitting one is wrong seems to be a great fear for most people, although they all seemed to rave about the situation mentioned in this article. I can attest to the fact that when practiced with more regularity, admitting wrong or mistakes becomes far less painful. And that certainly adds to lowering ones stress!

Close Up on Coastal Fouliesby Lindsey Silken, Posted September 28, 2012
Coastal cruisers and racers experience a range of temperatures and weather, so crossover garments that can be layered—or not—and can be worn racing or cruising will top the list. Look for lightweight outer layers and cozy, warm base- and mid-layers that won't trap air and moisture. The same three-layer materials used in bluewater gear are now beginning to make inroads in coastal gear as well. But a set of foulies made with a quality two-layer fabric will still keep you plenty comfortable without breaking the bank.

It all started when I entered SAIL's Crew for a Day contest on Facebook. As per the rules, I wrote a 50 word essay about one of my favorite moments while sailing. A cocky man would follow this statement with "… and I won." I prefer to look at it as the payoff for some unremembered bet I made with Karma - while doubling down.

|The H and K Families of Mock Theta Functions
In his last letter to Hardy, Ramanujan defined 17 functions $F(q)$, $|q|\lt 1$, which he called mock $\theta$-functions. He observed that as $q$ radially approaches any root of unity $\zeta$ at which $F(q)$ has an exponential singularity, there is a $\theta$-function $T_\zeta(q)$ with $F(q)-T_\zeta(q)=O(1)$. Since then, other functions have been found that possess this property. These functions are related to a function $H(x,q)$, where $x$ is usually $q^r$ or $e^{2\pi i r}$ for some rational number $r$. For this reason we refer to $H$ as a ``universal'' mock $\theta$-function. Modular transformations of $H$ give rise to the functions $K$, $K_1$, $K_2$. The functions $K$ and $K_1$ appear in Ramanujan's lost notebook. We prove various linear relations between these functions using Appell-Lerch sums (also called generalized Lambert series). Some relations (mock theta ``conjectures'') involving mock $\theta$-functions of even order and $H$ are listed.
Keywords:mock theta function, $q$-series, Appell-Lerch sum, generalized Lambert series

Tunisian web users are poking fun at fallen president Ben Ali
Tunisian web users are poking fun at fallen president Ben Ali. Sarah Palin's supporters are campaigning online for her to become president in 2012. And a site asking for web users' help in finding new planets
Web users mock Ben Ali
Slap Ben Ali, kick him or even strangle him during his last televised speech. This application is available on Facebook and has been warmly welcomed by thousands of web users wanting to let off steam on their former president. The game would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago.
And in this video also available on the social network which was highly involved in the protests, a person by the name of Yassine does an impression of Ben Ali. The web user says he has waited for years to be able to do so.
This satirical cartoon depicts the fallen president as he fled the country. We see him in an airplane, calling different heads of state, asking for asylum. The video was produced by Kharabeesh, a group of Arab artists recently set up in Tunisia. The animation reflects the feeling of freedom that is sweeping through the local web ever since online censorship was lifted.
Satire is indeed back with a vengeance on the blogosphere. And is not only targeting Ben Ali, but also his party, the RCD, which dissolved its central committee on Thursday. The cartoonist 'Z' demonstrates this desire to turn the page on Ben Ali-ism in this drawing: an invalid covered in plasters commanding the doctors, dressed in purple, the colour of the former regime, to leave.
The slogan « RCD get out! » had indeed been widely used in the streets of Tunisia, and also on social networks, in recent days. This group which opposes the presence of several RCD politicians in the new government has over 10 000 members.
Sarah Palin president in 2012?
Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska, US President in 2012? The American Presidential election is still far off and yet the idea is gaining ground on the American web. An increasing number of the former US vice presidency candidate's supporters are going online to say they hope she takes over from Barack Obama next year.
Numerous music videos, like these ones have appeared on sharing sites in recent weeks: they were made by supporters of Sarah Palin and sing her praises. We see Americans claiming that once she is President, Palin will rid America of criminals in Washington and it will mark the dawn of a new era for the capital.
But before she can be elected president, Palin, who is still lagging behind in polls must first of all be chosen as the Republican Party's official candidate. This site is encouraging members of the conservative party to support the leading figure of the Tea Party Movement and convince them she is the strongest candidate for the presidential race.
Campaigning for Sarah Palin is also growing on social networks as illustrated by the dozens of Facebook groups set up to support her candidacy and her 2012 victory.
In view of this growing movement, critics of the ex-governor of Alaska have also decided to take a stand. The site impalin is campaigning to prevent Palin from becoming President and denounces her inexperience and her lack of knowledge in particular.
And finally, several Facebook groups have been set up, imploring American voters to not vote for Palin in 2012. The groups promise to move to Canada or join Al Qaida, if she wins.
Planet hunters
Astronomers need a helping hand in finding another potentially habitable planet like earth. The site Planet hunters.org is inviting web users to take part in the analysis of data collected by the Kepler satellite. As Professor Debra Fischer explains in this video, space enthusiasts' main mission will be to detect the dimming of a star's light caused by a planet moving in front of it. The site was created as part of the Zooniverse project which had already got web users involved in classifying galaxies according to their shapes.
The site Alcowebizer shows you what the Internet looks like when you have had too much to drink. The test is very simple: all you have to do is enter in the website address of your choice, and then choose the level of alcohol consumed. The more alcohol in the blood, the stranger the site's images and articles become.
Video of the day
Trace the history of video games from the beginnings to present day in just several minutes: this is what Floriant Smolka, a German student in video game design has set out to do in this video. He presents a visual evolution of these games and enthusiasts will recognize their favourite heroes, from Pac Man to Sonic the hedgehog, and also Super Mario. This video clip takes all video games fans on a veritable trip though time.
