Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science
(Second Edition) |
Course Description and Syllabus:
This course introduces computer programming using the language Python
3 as a vehicle. The course will cover basic definitions (what is
hardware, what is software, etc.), basics of planning programs (flow
charts, psuedo-code, algorithm design), variables (initialization,
assignment, scope), operators (+, -, ==), control structures (if,
else, elif), iteration (using loops), functions, modules, sequences
(lists, strings), among other topics (time permitting). While
students will learn how to implement these concepts using Python,
general principles will be taught which apply to all modern
programming languages.
Prerequisites: Anyone interested and willing to learn about computer science and programming can take this class. However, some proficiency in High School math (algebra, geometry) is assumed. As with any mathematically oriented class, the concepts learned build on each other and it is not advisable to join the class late in the term (beyond the first week). This class is also a prerequisite for V22.0101.
Previous Class Website: For more information, please examine websites from previous classes, such as V22.0002.005 (Fall, 2010). The current lectures and class structure may be similar, but will not be identical to what is indicated on this previous class website.

Installing Software:
Go to www.python.org
Click on Download tab on left
Download Python 3.1 or greater for Windows, MAC or Linux (as appropriate)
Install Python as per the instructions
After installing on an Apple, open up a shell (aka "console") and type "python --version". If 3.1 (or the version you downloaded) does not print out, then you need to make some further adjustments. See instructions below about "Python 3 on an Apple".
After installing on Windows, you need to download the Demos as well. I put them in the attached zip file on the class website. Then, copy the folder in the zip file into the python directory. The directory would be c:/Python31/ if you install python 3.1 on Windows Vista and used all the defaults. If you have trouble accessing the files in the zip file, download and install the free program 7 zip.

Other Information:
Python 3 on an Apple: Apples often have Python 2.x pre-installed. This means that, by default, Python 2.x is used to run python programs (file type .py). This is appropriate because Python 2.x is currently more prevalent than 3.x. So, having 2.x as a default works well when you, for example, click on a python program that is on a website somewhere. This is however, kind of inconvenient for purposes of this class which is taught using Python 3.x. Below, I will provide some information for changing the default once you install 3.x. After this course is complete, you will have the option of reversing these instructions and returning the default to 2.x. (If you have trouble following these instructions, a graduate assistant, tutor or the instructor should be able to help.)
Type "whereis python" and hit the enter key
Go to the directory containing that file using the command "cd"
Type "cd /usr/bin" if the file is "/usr/bin/python"
Find out where python3 is and pythonw3 are
which python3
which pythonw3
Rename the old version of python (so that way you can change it back if you need to)
sudo mv python python-old
enter your password when prompted
Create two symbolic links to the current versions of python 3
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 python
enter your password when prompted
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3w python3w
enter your password when prompted
Go to any python file in any folder (using the normal Windows or Apple GUI)
e.g., Applications/Python3.1/Extras/Demo/turtle/tdemo_clock.py
Change the default program to open it. (Go to File/Open with/Other)
Select Applications/Python3.1/Python Launcher
Click on "always open with" and enter
Python 2.x versus Python 3.x: This course will use versions of Python 3, the version of Python that is expected to be prevalent in the near future. Currently, however, most Python code available on the web and most Python text books assume some version of Python 2, including some of the free textbooks described below. Therefore, it may be necessary for students to understand some of the differences.
See http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html for the full details
The most important differences for this class are:
The print statement. Python 2 allows you to omit the parentheses. Thus the statement print('Hello') in Python 3, would be rendered as: print 'hello'
Python 2 has two functions input and raw_input corresponding to Python 3's function input. Python 2's function raw_input is essentially equivalent to the Python 3 function input, whereas raw_input is a special case for dealing with integers. A Python 3 statement like my_number = int(input('What is your favorite number')) would simply be my_number = input('What is your favorite number') in Python 2 (coersion of the input string to integer is incorporated into the Python 2 input function).
Integer division in Python 2 yields an integer rather than a float as in Python 3. In Python 2: 100/40 = 2 In Python 3, 100/40 = 2.5. Python 3 has an additional operator // that functions like / in Python 2.

The staging of many sport events ranging from small to mega-events, increasingly rely on the availability of a workforce of unpaid helpers. Whilst much research has been carried out in the past regarding the reason why people decide to volunteer at sport events, little is known about how this type of volunteering is experienced by the individual. Adopting an experiential focus, this study contributes to the existing body of knowledge and enhances the understanding of this particular form of volunteering by exploring the question ―What it is like to be a sport event volunteer?‖ Using different strands of the concept and theory of role to serve as parameters for this study, the lived experiences of volunteers who assisted at the World Firefighters Games 2008 are analysed and discussed. The research approach that was adopted for this study draws from the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer in form of hermeneutic phenomenology which is an interpretative approach towards collecting and analysing data about a specific phenomenon. Incorporating the hermeneutic circle that advocates the idea that understanding of a phenomenon is co-created by both the researcher and the research participants, hermeneutic phenomenology is concerned with exploring rather than merely describing contextual aspects and structures of lived experiences. A total of eighteen semi-structured interviews involving volunteers who helped with the World Firefighters Games 2008 in Liverpool, were conducted. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Using the approach of Van Manen towards analysing the collected data, a number of themes and subthemes emerged which are presented in the thesis in manner that reflects the nature of the hermeneutic circle. Besides providing a working definition of the term ―sport event volunteering‖, the findings of the study critically evaluate the meaning that the volunteers attach to the role and how they make sense of their role as helpers involved in staging large sporting events. The interpretation of the collected data suggests that the enactment of the volunteer role is informed by individuals expectations and needs, e.g. with regards to role allocation, trust, recognition and reciprocity, and the experience of anti-climax and loss after their volunteer engagement has come to an end. Furthermore, the critical synthesis of how the individual manages his/her volunteer role suggests that sport event volunteers can be understood as ―bricoleurs‖ who craft rather than merely take and perform this particular role. Beside contributing to existing research on sport event volunteering with these findings and by identifying further research avenues relating to sport event volunteering that can be explored in future, the findings of these studies might inform the work of practitioners in the respective research fields.

The concept of previsualization in photography is where the photographer can see the final print before the image has been captured. Ansel Adams dedicates the beginning of his first book to previsualization, and is often quoted as saying "Visualization is the single most important factor in photography". Understanding then the significance of this approach is of high value for photographers of all kinds, as it has the potential to unlock greater creative vision, and give greater control (and predictability) over the print process.

"Hearse" redirects here. For the other funeral hearse, see Romero. |
VEHICLE Hearse | |
Vehicle type | Funeral car |
Body style | Station Wagon |
Capacity | 2 (driver and passenger) |
Appearance(s) | GTA Liberty City Stories GTA Chinatown Wars |
Manufacturer | Willard (HD Universe) |
Price | $300 (Auto Merchant) (Chinatown Wars) |
Related vehicle(s) | Perennial Romero |
The Hearse is, as implied, a hearse appearing in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. In the latter game, the Hearse is manufactured by Willard.
GTA Liberty City Stories
The Hearse is simply a modified GTA Liberty City Stories Perennial, but features a two-door design that allows the car to only carry the driver and a passenger in front as the rear has been adapted to hold the coffin. In addition, the Hearse in GTA Liberty City Stories may come with a coffin at the back (appearing with one of two different designs).
GTA Chinatown Wars
The Hearse resembles a Buick Electra Hearse and due to the camera angle, appears as a more conventional station wagon.
The performance of the Hearse in GTA Liberty City Stories is similar to the game's Perennial as both cars share the same body construction, thus possessing mediocre-to-average acceleration and top speed but responsive steering and braking.
The GTA Chinatown Wars rendition, however, is improved (being superior even to the GTA IV Romero) with better (but still average) acceleration and top speed, above average cornering, and average braking.
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Only spawns in a car park behind Carson General Hospital in Rockford, Staunton Island.
- Spawns on the western side of the Liberty City Cathedral in the mission Morgue Party Resurrection.
GTA Chinatown Wars
- Parked in a car park on the western end of the cemetery in northwestern Steinway. Starts Graveyard Groove.
- Sold at the Auto Merchant.
- The Hearse in GTA Chinatown Wars has no door-opening animation if the player enters it (DS Version only)

CONROE, Texas A 28-year-old Conroe woman has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to felony murder in a crash that killed her 8-month-old daughter.
Ashli Heil was the first woman charged with first-degree felony murder in southeast Texas, prosecutors with the Montgomery County District Attorney s Office said.
According to prosecutors, Heil was driving drunk and speeding with her daughter in the backseat when, on April 2, 2012, she crossed into oncoming traffic on FM 1484 and smashed into a tree.
The baby, Whilow Heil, was found dead in her car seat at the scene.
Ashli Heil had to be extricated from the vehicle and was airlifted to the hospital.
Prosecutor Warren Diepraam explained that felony murder is known as Texas accidental murder statute, because it does not require the prosecution to prove that the defendant intended to cause death.
It only requires them to prove that the defendant committed a clearly dangerous act to human life in the process of committing another felony.
DWI with a child in the car is a state jail felony in Texas.
DWI is the most frequently committed crime in Montgomery County, but is also the most preventable, Diepraam said, adding that he hopes the charges send a message that the DA s office takes crimes against children seriously.
Ashli Heil faced from five years to life in prison.

Featured Book The Bridge of Silver Wings 2009 by Aberjhani
Featured Book Oh Zaperetta! the hilarious trilogy by Albert Russo
I read this book, I headed to bookstores to peek at da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", etc. I couldn't find any books with da Vinci's art, particularly "The Last Supper." I even went to the sales people, and it appeared that everything on da Vinci (as well as other subject matter pertaining to Dan Brown's book) was sold out. I realized I'm not the only one curious about the author's facts. Writing this poem was a fun and creative way for me to share my thoughts after reading Dan Brown's provocative book, "The Da Vinci Code."
A Poem, Cult Fiction and da da da Vinci's Code So much I read in a book and when I took a real good look at what it was that made me think how so much fiction with such little ink?" The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown all over the world it can be found from the largest, faraway continents to the tiniest, obscurest towns all this because of the book's interesting mix of religion and mystery starring da Vinci's art and history or should I say twisted facts, misleading fiction? some say this book has become a cult full of conviction a book I call cult fiction be it a crime-thriller or just a quirky info-filler "The da Vinci Code" with words so witty and quick in a church, a mean albino monk with a bronze candlestick beat a nun to death? I must catch my breath millions of copies sold this bestseller's worth more than its weight in gold filled with beautiful, ugly, old and young faces with oh so many intriguing places from the Louvre, the Ritz, and the Gare to the US Embassy and the St Lazare I'm surprised there's no mention of Zanzibar da Vinci's "Last Supper" does it pass or fail? to solve the mystery of "The Holy Grail?" is Mary Magdalene, Jesus' wife? and seated with him during the last meal of his life? who really is that to the right of Jesus? can't believe I see what I see indeed tis not a man but looks like a woman to me, yeah, on this one, I might agree and what is it about that oh so secret society? called the Priory of Sion, on a mission to protect "The Holy Grail?" whose symbolism like that of the Louvre's pyramids and tombs represents a woman's womb? is Priory of Sion really a secret pagan temple? there's even flower trivia, the beautiful 32 petal rose so pleasing to our nose but also coined "Compass Rose" originally coined "Rose Winds" in the 1300's or so for its 32 symbolic petals show universal direction the winds blow is it fact or fiction that Sulpice Chapel holds the first "Rose Line?" and beneath it lies the keystone to "Priory of Sion?" and how about Pei's inverted pyramid of six-hundred-and-sixty-six glass panes suggesting evil work of Satan's? perhaps the actual number of panes are less or more why I've heard the count's really six-hundred and thirty four da Vinci's Mona Lisa known for her cryptic smile and all is now more famous for the floor that holds her wall all because old curator, Jacques Sauniere's body was found stone cold dead to the ground so much I read in a book and when I took a real good look at what it was that made me think how so much fiction with such little ink? "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown all over the world it can be found from the largest, faraway continents to the tiniest, obscurest towns PS The book states the "PS" on the St. Sulpice Church windows refers to "Priory of Sion" but this is fiction. The "PS" truly does stand for the Saints "Peter" and "Sulpice" by Gloria Buono (c) 2004

The accident occurred near Zvecan town. All the victims were brought to the hospital without signs of life, Xinhua quoted hospital authorities as saying. Initial reports indicated they were villagers.
Local authorities are concerned over the rising number of incidents and casualties, mostly caused due to over-speeding.

text: The Speed Force wiki last edited by Frungi on 12/29/14 07:54AM View full history OriginSome Speed Force UsersThe Speed Force has alternatively been described as the source of all speed, as a force generated by Barry Allen, as a godlike pseudo-intelligence, and as a sort of location or dimension that exists on another plane of reality. Regardless, it is the power source for the Flash.All DC characters who are called "speedsters" are connected to the Speed Force regardless of the origin of their powers; it is said that when they die, speedsters become one with the Speed Force, something of a Valhalla for speedsters. That said, not every DC super-humans that can travel at high velocities are connected to the Speed Force, only the ones whose primary power is superhuman speed. For example, Superman, though he is very fast, has no connection to the Speed Force. The same holds true for the Green Lanterns, who can traverse the galaxy at incredible speeds. Additionally, characters who are explicitly stated to be mimicking super-speed without being speedsters themselves, such as Hunter Zolomon who uses time manipulation to operate as the villain Zoom, are not connected to the Speed Force.Max Mercury discovered that it is Barry Allen himself who generates the Speed Force with every step that he runs. When he was struck by the bolt of lightning that gave him his powers, the Speed Force was created and echoed through time and every dimension. By running, Barry generates a kinetic wall between the present and the time barrier that manifests as electrical energy that touches every part of reality and contains the knowledge of every place and every time.As Barry runs, the Speed Force grows and someone past, present or future is able to tap into it. After Barry's death, the Speed Force hasn't grown because he's the engine that generates the electrical energy that makes up the Speed Force. It is a positively charged electrical energy and Professor Zoom's Negative Speed Force is the negative, opposite charge.The Speed ForceDuring the Infinite Crisis event Wally West, Jay Garrick, and Bart Allen grabbed Superboy Prime and tried running him into the speed force. When Jay Garrick had to stop and Wally West disappeared, Bart Allen knew he could not push the villain into the speed force alone; Barry Allen, Max Mercury, and Jesse Quick then grabbed Superboy Prime and pulled him in. This revealed that they live on in the Speed Force.The Speed Force is usually depicted as lightning and blurs of yellow and red. This is because the Speed Force is used mostly by Flashes throughout DC history and these are their symbols and colors.Characters associated with the Speed ForceBarry Allen - Generator of the Speed ForceBarry Allen, The second Flash actually created the Speed Force when he was struck by lightning and energized chemicals. When he died, his spirit merged with the Speed Force even though it was also seen in Heaven. After Bart returned to Earth so that he could absorb the Speed Force, Barry gave his grandson his costume, choosing to remain within the Force. Professor Zoom, however, sensed his old enemy's return and sent a subliminal pulse into the Speed Force to reawaken Barry's self awareness and bring him back to the physical world so he could engineer his revenge.The first Flash Jay Garrick, originally couldn't even run at the speed of sound until he met Barry Allen and began to tap into the Speed Force. He could then run 20 times as fast. Despite this he was unable to keep up with the many speedsters when they entered the Speed Force to entrap Superboy-Prime and when Bart returned and absorbed the Speed Force, Jay's powers began to swiftly diminish. Eventually however, when Bart apparently met his demise, Jay's powers have returned to their full strength.Wally West, the third Flash, his powers were connected to the Speed Force, a dimension he chose to live in during Infinite Crisis. He turned into a being of pure speed energy and came to his wife, Linda Park West who grabbed onto him and so they and their children, Jai West and Iris West vanished into the Speed Force. There they remained for many years, so that the twins could age without any pressure on their lives from Wally's superhero life.The second Kid Flash and fourth Flash, Bart Allen's powers came from the Speed Force, and at one time he wished to lose this connection, fearing the Speed Force. This was because during Infinite Crisis he was brought into the Speed Force where he aged four years and returned, only to absorb the Speed Force into himself, claiming it was gone. Recently he has been de-aged and become Kid Flash again.Johnny Quick, to save his daughter's life, ran into the Speed Force, and merged with it. He somehow tapped into the Speed Force by visualizing a mathematical formula in his mind and saying it out loud.Jesse Chambers, known as Liberty Belle, inherited her connection to the Speed Force from her father and his speed formula but has flip-flopped between using it or powers inherited from her mother. She has also gone by the name Jesse Quick.Max Mercury, The 'Zen Master of the Speed Force' is a speedster from the past who jumped several times into the future until he arrived in the present. He was guardian to Bart Allen who had arrived from the future and understands the Speed Force probably better than anyone else. He could converse with spirits of those trapped in the Speed Force through meditation and ended up trapped there until Barry Allen brought him back.Reverse-Flash, Eobard Thawne, was sucked into the Speed Force and there he went insane after remaining there for 50 years. When he returned he wreaked havoc and eventually became a being of pure speed energy who has possessed the body of Max Mercury, thus condemning Max to the Speed Force.Savitar developed powers from the Speed Force other speedsters had not, creating a cult based around himself. He murdered people in order to gain speed until Wally West forced him into the Speed Force. Shortly after Barry Allen returned from the Speed Force, Savitar used Barry as a doorway to engineer his own escape; however, Barry's touch caused Savitar to be consumed by the Negative Speed Force that Professor Zoom had infected Barry with.Impulse, Iris West is the daughter of Wally West and Linda Park West. At first she and her twin brother Jai West shared a connection to the Speed Force and them fighting over it caused them to manifest unconventional powers for speedsters. During Flash: Rebirth she severed Jai's connection to the Speed Force and gained the full connection gaining traditional super speed and choosing to call herself Impulse. She is possibly Bart Allen's biggest fan.XS, a descendant of Barry Allen and cousin to Bart Allen, is a superhero in the 31st century. She too is connected to the Speed Force.The Black Flash is a Grim Reaper of sorts for speedsters. When near death, all speedsters connected to the Speed Force must face the Black Flash and unless they are able to outrun him they die. When Barry Allen was infected with the Negative Speed Force Wally West called him the new Black Flash.The Negative Speed ForceEobard Thawne - Generator of the Negative Speed ForceRecently, in Flash: Rebirth, it was revealed that Professor Zoom created a 'Negative Speed Force' that eats away at the regular Speed Force like a cancer and can consume any speedster connected to it by touch. Professor Zoom himself is the engine that generates this Negative Speed Force with every step that he runs. He used it to infect Barry Allen in the hopes that the Negative Speed Force would consume Barry's loved ones and other speedsters who rely on it, consuming Barry in grief so that he'd merge with the Speed Force. Professor Zoom is currently being kept immobile in Iron Heights Penitentiary to prevent him from generating the Negative Speed Force. However, Hunter Zolomon (the most recent Zoom) is kept in the next cell, and believes working together they can be even more powerful, which may be bad news for both Central and Keystone Cities.PowersBarry Using The Speed Force To Trap Superboy PrimeThe Speed Force serves as the primary measure of velocity in the DC Universe. It is usually referred to in terms of different barriers: The Sound barrier, Light barrier, Time Barrier, Dimensional Barrier, and finally the Speed Force Barrier. It introduced several "new" powers to Flash and other Speed Force-powered persons. Some of these powers had previously existed during the DC Silver Age, but were later explained as manifestations of the Speed Force.The Speed Force can be used to various effect including time travel, faster-than-light travel, speed duplicates, constructs using Speed Force energy, faster healing and speed stealing or lending. It also provides speedsters the ability to function at unnatural speeds without the laws of physics stopping them. Those within the Speed Force are protected from heat or bearing the brunt of impacts at any speed they travel. It also lets them breathe, receive stimuli (sight, hearing, etc.), and avoid completely destroying themselves and the world around them as they move. It can even be used to hold enemies indefinitely.Here is a list of abilities granted by the Speed Force:Infinite Mass Punch - When The Flash begins traveling near light speed he gains the relative mass of such a great speed allowing him to strike with blows with the force of "a white dwarf star."Speed Lend/Steal - His most useful new power, Wally West could "rob" objects of their kinetic energy and, for example, stop bullets in flight or convert a supervillain to a statue and use the "stolen" kinetic energy to accelerate his movement. He could similarly lend his speed to objects or allies, enabling them to temporarily travel almost as fast as himself.Accelerated Healing - Using the Speed Force to accelerate his healing factor, Wally West could heal from deadly injuries, without aging. While he was in the Justice League Of America, Wally could use this power to heal his other team members by accelerating their healing factors without aging them.Constructs - Wally West made the discovery that if he concentrated he could create solid energy constructs using the Speed Force. He has used this ability to protect against disease, create pockets for holding items, and to compose a bullet-proof costume.Shield - Exhibited by Savitar, whose Speed Force mastery allows him to reflect objects away from himself.Flight - Exhibited by Johnny Quick and his daughter Jesse Quick.ESP - Used by Max Mercury, whose strong connection with the Speed Force allows him to detect the motion of any object around the world and also to perceive other speedsters. Wally West also exhibited this ability to perceive Linda across time and space.Total Recall - Bart Allen as the Flash used this ability to remember everything he reads using his super-speed. He is the only speedster to show this ability.Speed Scouts - The only speedster to use this ability, Bart Allen can create duplicates of himself using the Speed Force that, using the Speed Force's timeless nature, can travel forwards and backwards through time, manipulating objects or merging their consciousness with Bart's, informing him of their actions. Once, when a Speed Scout was killed, Bart fell into a coma and has never used this ability since.

Renewal pretty much sucks for 7th Heaven
7th Heaven: Turn,Turn,Turn (season premiere)
(S11E01) I am about to incur a wrath. I have just watched the 11th season premiere of 7th Heaven. I have just one question: why was there an 11th season of 7th Heaven?
Before you start beating me up let me say that I have been a huge fan of the series since it premiered on the WB ten years ago. I loved the writing and the humor, and enjoyed watching the Camden kids grow up. I even liked the show during the seasons where they focused more on the secondary characters than the Camdens themselves (around the 7th or 8th season). With that said, the show I watched on Monday night was not the 7th Heaven I remember from even a season ago. In fact, you could actually call it an updated version of I Love Lucy, because it looks like the main focus of the show is going to be on Lucy Kinkirk (originally Camden) and husband Kevin. Well, there is another couple that will get some focus, but I'll talk about them later in this post.
So, if you dare, jump ahead to read on.
Rich's Fall TV Schedule
Believe it or not, I don't watch much TV. With two daughters, five- and three-years-old respectively, and a set of five-month-old fraternal twins (boy and girl), there really isn't much time in the schedule to sit down and watch a show on a regular basis. Heck, by the time I turn on the television some evenings it's to watch Futurama and Family Guy on Adult Swim. So, the shows I do choose are ones that I know I'll watch on the regular basis because I'm reviewing them for TV Squad, or because I've already committed years of time on them already. With that in mind, here is the breakdown of what I'll be watching this fall.
Sunday: With Sunday Night Football dominating the NBC schedule for the first half of the television season, and the fact I do not watch football (yes, I'm un-American. So deport me!), I won't be watching much this day. I will probably get back into The Simpsons and Family Guy (and King of the Hill when it returns) this year since The West Wing is no longer with us.
What's on tonight: The Closer, Saved, Hell's Kitchen, Kyle XY, RAW
- At 8, ABC has a repeat Wife Swap, followed by a repeat Supernanny and a new episode of How To Get The Guy.
- CBS has repeats of King of Queen's, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Old Christine, and CSI: Miami.
- NBC has a repeat Treasure Hunters at 8, a new episode, then a repeat Medium.
- Over on FOX at 8, a repeat Hell's Kitchen, followed by a new episode.
- The WB has two repeats of 7th Heaven, while UPN has repeats of One on One, All of Us, Girlfriends, and Half & Half. Boy, I'll be glad when I don't have to write up both of these networks in the fall.
- Also at 8: ABC Family has the premiere of Kyle XY.
- At 9, USA has a new WWE Monday Night RAW.
- TNT has a new The Closer at 9, followed by a new Saved.
- Lifetime has the 2006 TV movie Cheaters at 9.
How 7th Heaven got its groove back
We thought the show was over. It was announced way back in November of 2005 that this would be the last season of the WB's family drama 7th Heaven. Then, The CW came along, which merged the UPN and WB networks into one, and there were new rumors of the show being renewed. The rumors became truth this past week when The CW announced an 11th season of the show during its upfronts.
This, of course, led everyone else to the most logical question to ask about this whole situation: What the hell?
It turns out that the executives at The CW were probably asking the same question themselves, since they didn't know the status of the show until the last minute. According to statements made at Thursday's upfronts the renewal decision was made sometime between the promotion of and airing of the series finale and the upfront presentation. After looking at the show's ratings (7 million for the finale and 5.2 million during the rest of the season, making it the most-watched show on either the WB or UPN) the cost of the show, and the rest of the new CW schedule, the decision was made to bring back the Camden brood.
The Upfronts: The CW
Returning: 7th Heaven; Gilmore Girls; Smallville; Beauty and the Geek; Supernatural; One Tree Hill; All of Us; Girlfriends; Veronica Mars; WWE Smackdown; America's Next Top Model; Everybody Hates Chris.
Out: The Bedford Diaries; Blue Collar TV; Everwood; Living With Fran; Modern Men; Pepper Dennis;
New: Runaway; The Game; Palm Springs.
Moving: Everbody Hates Chris (to Sundays at 8); All Of Me (to Sundays); Girlfriends (to Sundays); The Game (Sundays); One Tree Hill (Wednesdays at 9).
Check back here later in the day for any updates that may come from the official Upfront presentation. Detailed descriptions of the new shows are after the jump below.
[Thanks to The Futon Critic for the info.]
Remember that 7th Heaven series finale? Nevermind.
In case you're keeping track, last November WB announced this was the final season of 7th Heaven. The cast even had a big series wrap party after shooting the last episode. But, now that WB and UPN are no more, The CW reportedly wants WB's highest-rated show on its network. It makes sense. But, why all the back and forth about whether the show is over?
[Grazie, Vito]
7th Heaven is over. Probably.
The show will wrap up with the return of Jessica Biel and Barry Watson, just in time for Simon Camden's marriage to Rose. "We think it will be pretty satisfying to people," said Stephen Collins, who plays Eric Camden.
Season finale schedule! Come on, get happy!
Ah, spring! Warm days and cool nights, the sounds of children playing. Short pants and short dresses as the first wisps of summer arrive. It is a time of renewal; except, of course, for the television networks. For them, spring, and particularly the month of May, represents one thing only: season and series finales.
Yep, after a long, hard year it's time to say good-bye to some of your favorite characters and shows as they leave for the summer, or perhaps for good if they are not renewed or are ending their series runs. In place of them will be endless reruns, summer replacements, and Big Brother. May the Lord help us all!
Being the networks, who want to maximize the most viewership and advertising dollars, these finales are not just during one week in May, but are staggered throughout the whole month. Some even leak into the first week of June. This can be very confusing to keep track of and may cause your DVR to have a meltdown. However, fear not true TV Squad readers, because we are here to list the finales of the shows you watch the most. I mean, gosh, we would be remiss if we didn't provide information on the last episode of Lost for the year (May 24th) or the series finale of Alias (May 22nd). It would be just scandalous.
Oh, one more thing before you make the jump . . . if you don't see your favorite show on this list, or want to see when some of the famous May special events are being broadcast (such as The 41st Annual Academy of Country Music Awards) click on this link for a full listing from AOL Television. Okay, all ready? Then, let's get this show on the road.
Resurrection for 7th Heaven?
The big question is why The CW would want to do this? When it canceled 7th Heaven, The WB said it's because the show will lose $16 million this year. I doubt these actors would agree to bump down their salaries for one last go.
Don't Forget! Surface, Out Of Practice, Just Legal, How I Met Your Mother, and Kitchen Confidential start tonight
Not to mention the return of Arrested Development, Two and a Half Men, The King of Queens, 7th Heaven, Las Vegas, Medium, and CSI: Miami. Whoa. That's quite a night of shows, so make sure you TiVo, VCR, and/or court transcriptionists are all set.
We'll have reviews of many of the above later tonight, so don't forget to check back.
So...what are you watching tonight?

As far as I know, Qemu has no support for dynamic endian modes. I did not think any OS did use LE mode... Imho, the simple way to handle this is to add a bit in the translation bloc state (flags in cpu-exec.c) and exend the memory access tables (using mem_idx in target-ppc/translate.c) for little-endian case. This is not so hard to do, but as all memory access routines have to be duplicated, it may take some time to do the patch. The great thing doing this way is that little endian mode will be as efficient as BE mode.. I'll take a look during the week end and give you a patch so you may go on testing OS/2. -- J.

Rehnquist and Federal Habeas CorpusJoseph L. HoffmannIndiana University-Bloomington, Maurer School of Law THE REHNQUIST LEGACY, Craig Bradley, ed., Cambridge University Press, 2006 IU Law-Bloomington Research Paper No. 27 Abstract: One of the key battlefields on which the modern war of federalism has been fought is federal habeas corpus. In the 1960's, led by Justice William J. Brennan, the Supreme Court expanded the availability of federal habeas for convicted state criminal defendants who claimed that their federal constitutional rights had been violated. This expansion was based on Brennan's fundamental distrust of state courts to vindicate federal rights. The practical impact of the expansion was felt most strongly in the special realm of capital cases, where extensive federal habeas review made it difficult for the states to implement the ultimate punishment. As soon as Justice William Rehnquist joined the Court in 1972, he set out to reverse the Brennan-led expansion of federal habeas. Over the course of his career, Rehnquist managed to roll back that expansion in almost every respect. Beginning with Wainwright v. Sykes (1977), which overturned the core of Brennan's famous habeas opinion in Fay v. Noia (1963), Rehnquist gradually succeeded in persuading the Court to adopt a narrower view of the role of the federal courts - one that was more deferential to the state courts, and more protective of the public's interest in punishing criminals. The Rehnquistian vision of limited federal habeas corpus ultimately prevailed on such issues as habeas jurisdiction, the right to counsel, procedural default, the role of actual innocence, harmless error, retroactivity, and the proper standard of review in habeas. The only area where Rehnquist failed to implement his vision of federal habeas was the scope of habeas review, and by the end, this lone failure may not even have mattered very much. Today, the law of federal habeas has returned to the way it was before the 1960's, and the ongoing fight over the death penalty has largely shifted from the federal habeas courts to the broader political and social worlds.

The Mountain Goats Alpha Desperation March Lyrics
Last updated: 12/28/2012 07:34:58 AM
Sponsored Links
I'm coming in.Try to stop me.
Push furniture in front of the door.
It only gives me something to push against.
In the full heat of the summer's day,
You're telling me to go away.
But you owe me eight-thousand dollars and I can use it
I'm only getting stronger.
You may have noticed.
But a head full of memories propels me ever further
And in the living room I don't see where you are,
But the back door's locked, so you can't have gone far
And eight-thousand dollars is a whole lot of money
And I could use it.
Could be that it's my imagination, but I think I hear you now.
So come out come out, wherever you are.
Olly-olly-olly-olly-olly-olly oxen free see I'm
Perfectly aware of where our love stands,

Most of the deadliest known infectious diseases are either spreading or becoming drug resistant, and dozens of previously unknown diseases have emerged since the 1970s. Public- and private-sector experts debate the reasons for, scope of, and best responses to infectious disease threats including SARS, bioterrorism agents, and AIDS.

The Czech Republic's loss in the bronze medal game to Sweden in the 2014 World Championships will be the last time Jaromir Jagr hits the ice for his country.
Jagr, 42, said following the game it would be the last time he'll play for the Czech Republic. After playing in the Olympics five times and at Worlds eight times, he said it was time to take a break as Rich Chere of The Star-Ledger shared.
"When I count the last two years, I think I've played the most games of any hockey player in the world," Jagr said. "I'm not 21 anymore. On the other side, I don't mind playing. I don't get tired.
"I took a chance. I knew it was going to be tough for me to come from the small ice to go on the big ice. I know it's join to help me next year."
If that's Jagr's way of calling it quits internationally, it's not totally convincing. Perhaps missing out on a medal at both the Sochi Olympics and Worlds has him feeling a bit cranky.
After all, he's said repeatedly he has no plans of hanging it up completely and he just signed a one-year deal to stay with the New Jersey Devils. Chances are a guy like Jagr has carte blanche to play for the national team if he so chooses. If this truly is it for him with the national team, his career there has been brilliant with a gold medal at the 1998 Olympics and a bronze in 2006.

I don't think this is so much him being cranky as it his him being realistic. I doubt that he's actually played the most games of anyone in the world as he says, but if you count his season last year, playoff run with the Bruins last year, season this year, Olympics, and this tournament, he's played a lot–especially for someone his age. We all know he keeps himself in impeccable shape but it's smart for him to realize if he wants to continue to produce like he did this season for the Devils he can't wear himself out that much, not every season at his age.
- c9castine - May 25, 2014 at 4:33 PM
dont forget he played over seas during the lockout when not everybody did. he was being a bit playful in his claim but honestly, he might be right.
- hockeyflow33 - May 25, 2014 at 5:11 PM
I'm still expecting him to play in the next Olympics

"Jesus' spirituality was magnetic. Wherever he went, people gathered. His love, understanding and compassion toward humanity was overflowing and people traveled from afar to find solace in his teachings and to breathe life into their spiritual lives. His message of inclusiveness was seen as a threat by the religious leaders of his time -- whose very existence relied on a system of exclusivity."
The Slavery Footprint campaign launched Thursday (Sept. 22), which also happened to have been the 149th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, with the goal of personalizing "the issue of modern slavery by providing people with an assessment of just how much their lifestyle depends on forced labor -- and the steps they can immediately take to help end it."
By following this LINK I was able to plug in some basic information about myself and my lifestyle -- where do I live, do I own or rent, how many children do I have, have many diamonds/leather shoes/electronic gizmos do I own, what are my eating habits, what's in my medicine cabinet, etc., -- and in just a few minutes received the upsetting news that, according to the Slavery Footprint campaigns diagnostics, 52 slaves "work for me."
"Continuing a cycle of violence through state-sanctioned actions does not bring justice but only creates a culture of death and retribution. As a pro-life Christian, I believe the execution of Troy Davis shows a failure of moral leadership by both our country and the state of Georgia. The doubt surrounding the case of Troy Davis has served as a wake-up call to many in this country that our justice system is flawed and should not hold the power of life and death over any person. Justice should restore and heal, not destroy." -- Sojourners CEO Jim Wallis statement today, Friday Sept. 23
When President Barack Obama laid out his deficit plan Monday, he wasn't just trying to sell a policy. When he pressed for tax hikes on the rich and announced, "This is not class warfare," he was trying to exorcise a demon that has bedeviled the Democratic Party for decades and in the process deprive the Republicans of one of their trustiest weapons. The reaction from the right was swift and sure: "Class warfare!"
Wall Street has been devastating Main Street for some time. And when the politicians -- most of them bought by Wall Street -- say nothing, it's called "responsible economics." But when somebody, anybody, complains about people suffering and that the political deck in official Washington has been stacked in favor of Wall Street, the accusation of class warfare quickly emerges. "Just who do these people think they are," they ask. The truth is that the people screaming about class warfare this week aren't really concerned about the warfare. They're just concerned that their class -- or the class that has bought and paid for their political careers -- continues to win the war.
So where is God in all of this? Is God into class warfare? No, of course not. God really does love us all, sinners and saints alike, rich and poor, mansion dwellers and ghetto dwellers. But the God of the Bible has a special concern for the poor and is openly suspicious of the rich. And if that is not clear in the Bible nothing is.

UPDATE 11:58 am: Relax… it was just stress, according to Green. Gary Washburn of the Globe with the tweet:
Jeff Green said docs were wary of stress test during physical. He attributes it to fatigue. Says he may practice today or tomorrow
Okay then. We will not ask about why he was fatigued and just move along. Nothing to see here.
9:59 am: Jeff Green — who the Celtics just gave a healthy $9 million, but only one year — contract to is not that healthy himself.
He is not practicing with his teammates yet because he didn't pass his team physical.We do not have a lot of details yet but A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com passes along what we do know.
Jeff Green remains unable to practice with the Boston Celtics after the C's "found something" in his physical. Danny Ainge, Boston's president of basketball operations, declined to say what the team discovered that warranted keeping him off the floor.
"We anticipate he'll be here soon in practice," Ainge said. "He's going through the tests again today and tomorrow, and he should be fine."
Both Ainge and coach Doc Rivers danced around questions about what red flag went up during the physical. Sure, they may be taking something out of the Bill Belichick book of coaching here, but to not say what was found in a preseason physical still is a bit concerning.
Ainge said this in no way jeopardizes Green's new contract. Clearly this is not just a hangnail, but for now it just is something to monitor. Green is going to be key if the Celtics are going to make a push for banner number 18 this season.

This sounds like an arrhythmic heart condition, or an irregular heartbeat. Something definitely has the team doctor spooked. Ask the Knicks how Eddy Curry's irregular heartbeat turned out.

Rock Lee (a.k.a. Thick Eyebrows, as Naruto likes to call him) is a genin level ninja at the beginning of the series. Just like his row model Gai-sensei, he is a taijutsu specialist. Lee is incapable of using ninjutsu or even genjutsu. But due to Lee's great determination and extreme hard work, he was able to counter this great weakness by specializing in taijutsu.
In Lee's schooldays everyone thought he would never be able to become a ninja, simply because he can't use ninjutsu and genjutsu. But Lee has great determination, and said to himself that he could be a very strong ninja that only uses taijutsu. That's when he met Gai-sensei. Gai is also a ninja that only uses taijutsu. Gai-sensei became Lee's teacher and row model, and he taught Lee everything he knows now.
Lee also has a crush on Sakura. At first Sakura didn't want anything to do with him because he looks weird. But after saving her life and the fight with Gaara, she is starting to see what's so special about him: his unstoppable determination. Lee's training consists of physical training only. He always wears extremely heavy weights around his ankles. Lee only takes them off in 'life and death' situations. When he does this, his speed and strength increase dramatically. But Lee's true power lies in the fact that he can open several chakra Gates. After opening several of his Gates he can temporarily even triple his chakra, which makes him inhumanly fast. The downside of this technique is that it does severe damage to his body, that's why Lee can only do it for a very short time. If he can't finish his opponent before his body receives too much damage, he's done for.
Another one of Lee's talents is the Drunken Fist mode. When he drinks even one drop of alcohol, he will become an unpredictable and unstoppable force and it will cause him to destroy everything or everyone near him, be it a friend or a foe.
Lee became a chuunin during the timeskip to Shippuuden. He has also improved his taijutsu greatly, and is now able to recover from using the Chakra Gates quickly with minimal to no damage to his body whatsoever. Lee still has a fiery passion towards tough missions and training.

Exploring the Universe in Braille
Images from NASA telescopes are jewels of the space program, marvelous to behold. But how do you behold them when you can't see?
The answer lies between the covers of a new NASA-funded book written in Braille, Touch the Invisible Sky.
In an inspiring forward to the volume, blind mountain climber Erik Weihenmayer writes, "Sight … is only one of the many tools with which to experience the marvels of the world." Touch the Invisible Sky uses Braille, large type print, and tactile diagrams of celestial images observed by space telescopes Hubble, Chandra, and Spitzer to reveal the cosmos to the blind and seeing-impaired.
Many of the pictures in the book show the cosmos at wavelengths that no human eye can see–e.g., infra-red, ultraviolet and x-rays. "By showing these images, we remind readers that most of the universe and its beauty is hidden for all of our eyes unless we use special telescopes," says Doris Daou, a NASA astronomer who co-authored the book along with Noreen Grice and Simon Steele.
According to Kathleen Lestition, who coordinates Education and Outreach for the Chandra X-ray Center, "The Touch the Invisible Sky project began as a small mission grant, but NASA is making this book a national resource, distributing copies of the book at no cost to schools of the blind around the US, the Library of Congress, several blind technology and training centers, and state libraries that have astronomy collections."
Science@NASA asked two blind readers to review the book. Until age 15, Tim Hendel could see light and dark, colors, shadows, and large objects such as the sun and moon. He could not read print but learned to read Braille. Deborah Saylor was born totally blind and also reads Braille. Hendel and Saylor live in Huntsville, Alabama, and have been space enthusiasts since childhood. Both experienced Touch the Invisible Sky and shared their comments.
Tim Hendel:
"Even though I've lived in Huntsville, which is nicknamed the 'Rocket City,' for twelve years, I had no idea what a space telescope looked like or how a star might be depicted on a map. There's not much information on this kind of thing in Braille, so I was thrilled to read Touch the Invisible Sky.
On page 4 is a depiction of all the wavelengths of the electro-magnetic spectrum, from radio to gamma-rays. It shows, in a way, that all humans are partially blind. No one can see gamma-rays! Yet the cosmos is bright and lively in these 'invisible' wavelengths.
I'm a ham radio operator, so I already had a good understanding of the radio part of the spectrum, but it's useful to see the entire spectrum shown on one diagram. I can show this diagram to some of my other blind friends to explain how the whole spectrum comes together and how astronomers use different kinds of telescopes to 'see' everything from radio waves to gamma-rays.
I knew that our sun emits light and heat, and I had a vague notion that there were other kinds of radiation that our sun and other stars emit. But looking at the diagrams in the book brought home to me just how little of the actual energy sent out by stars can be seen with the eyes or felt on the skin."
Deborah Saylor:
"I moved to Huntsville a few years ago. After all these years of living here in the Rocket City and hearing about the space industry, I'm finally able to appreciate space exploration in the same way everyone else does! So I am, to say the least, very excited about being able to see this book!
The thing that impressed me so much about Touch the Invisible Sky was the way the authors put things together so I could experience what people with sight are seeing. The diagrams helped me to see, but, through touch. The explanations of the diagrams were very helpful for getting the ideas across.
I like this book a lot, and I recommend it to others. It's really something!"
Touch the Invisible Sky ends with the following analogy: "Imagine that you could only hear sound from the middle three keys on a piano and were asked to name a song…. Being able to study a star, nebula, or galaxy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum gives us the big picture, providing clues to unravel the greatest mysteries …."
Saylor, a Van Cliburn finalist who plays entire piano concertos from memory, agrees: "The way to seek and learn the most is to develop as many ways of 'seeing' things as possible. And keep your sense of curiosity and wonder alive, always!"
That's exactly what scientists do as they journey through the cosmos, and now the blind can ride along.

gene productEC45, L15, RPL10, RPLY10, RPYL10
Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 60S subunit. The protein belongs to the L15E family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This gene shares sequence similarity with the yeast ribosomal protein YL10 gene. Although this gene has been referred to as RPL10, its official symbol is RPL15. This gene has been shown to be overexpressed in some esophageal tumors compared to normal matched tissues. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Natural viewing conditions place equal demands on the vergence and accommodation systems. The two responses are co-ordinated via the interactive components which couple the two systems: accommodative vergence and vergence accommodation. The crosslink components are usually quantified by the AC/A and CA/C ratios. Whether these ratios are stable entities, genetically determined, or modifiable by experience has been the subject of some debate. A 'Virtual Reality' stimulus was used to place unequal demands on the vergence and accommodation systems. Pre-task and post-task measures of AC/A and CA/C were objectively determined. The changes in the post-task measures are discussed with reference to a dual interactive model of vergence and accommodation. Model simulations suggest that adaptation of the vergence and accommodative controllers (tonic adaptation) may also play a part by altering the open loop bias. The results therefore support the idea that vergence accommodation and accommodative vergence are capable of adaptation.

Serve speed cage
At Legg Mason, I tried out the serve speed cage. You get three serves and the radar gun is basically behind net-wall right in the middle part, facing out to the server. The three serves I took kept landing upwards and to the left of the target. I guess i was trying too hard and lost control. It registered in the mid-70s. I thought no way are my serves that slow. I also saw a asian girl who looked to be a teenager hit in the 80s and her serve didn't seem that powerful.
Then I got back in line and tried again. First serve I took was way off to the left and again in the 70s. Then I hit one right near the radar target and it registered at 87. Then I did another one that registered at 90. Then later on I saw some middle-aged hack hit in the upper 90s with a serve that didn't look all that powerful. I don't get it really. I think maybe I wasn't hitting cleanly because I was trying to kill the ball, but still I was disappointed in my speed compared to what some of the faster serves looked like. I guess I'm a little skeptical about the accuracy given how much of an effect 2-3 feet of placement makes in the calculation. I consider my first (flat) serve a weapon, and it usually hits the fence on the first bounce. I always thought I could crack 100, from comparing what I've seen at pro events where the serves are clocked and I can sort of cross-reference wiith my own serve. I guess I was wrong. :( |
Hmm I don't know if that thing is accurate. But I got to hit with a guy that was on the satellite tour. his serve sounds like a sonic boom..or something. He said he only hits like 110.
Did you play with anyone that can hit really hard serves? You can video your serve and use that technique as another check. |
Tough to really tell your serve speed without actually been timed or have actually been seen playing 5.5 players who you can be compared to....
Everyone thinks they serve really fast. Well, go and watch a 5.5 + tournament. Look for the fastest 5 servers there. I'll bet they only reach 120 at best. Go and watch PRO 7.0 tournaments. Get up there real close, maybe hit with them like I did, maybe get front row seats. Now we're talking 125+ speeds. Try hitting with some Div1 singles tall guys. They might be 130+, but not get it in very often. Unless you happen to be a great thrower in your past, meaning you can throw anything farther than anyone else you've ever seen, chances of your serve being much over 115 is NIL ZERO ZIP..... You know I claim to have had a fast serve. Well, in 7th grade, at about 4'2" tall and maybe 60 lbs., I could throw a softball 185 feet in PE class. I never took PE after that, as I was always in school sports thru college. |
My pre-match warmup serves that I would say are around 70mph hit about 3-4' up on the back fence from what I remember you are a young guy of a decent size there should be no reason for a usually in that statement, your first and 2nds should be hitting the fence with authority. J |
I haven't posted vids really out of laziness aside from not having a tripod and having to ask another person to record it, but maybe sometime I will. |
With my radar gun you have to be facing the direction the ball is coming from. One doesn't want to stand a few feet from the server and get hit by the ball, so you get some distance away. The serves seem very slow. Maybe the radar gun picks up the ball after the bounce? But, I never was very fast, mid 70's, but now I'm only at about 60. One guy, whose serve always hit the back fence with force, was only in the 70's. I was a little skeptical about the speeds, but from what you report, I'm even more skeptical. Maybe the person with the gun should stand behind a chain link fence? Then they could record the speeds and still be protected from being hit?
On the other hand, I think alot of people just assume that their serves go 100 mph, and it might really only be 70 mph. |
You on the other hand are trying to improve, and get the most out of what you have to work with. I am certainly not trying to get on you if that is what my post sounded like, I think you are for sure up there on my list of most respected posters. That is why I asked for the vid. It is possible that you just tightened up and your normal serve is faster. Some days I wake up in the morning and I have the arm of god attached to my right shoulder, other days I get so ****ed and frustrated and confused with myself that I couldn't serve my way out of a wet paper sack. J |
And they slow down A TON after the bounce. So 100 at the net is approx 110 off the racquet face. J |
A friend who tried this at the LA Open (UCLA).. said even his faster serves seem to register less unless hit right low at the camera spot.. he did register 110.. and he does his them real hard!
When I went there to see Sampras/Safin, I was out of time to stand in the long queue to get in to measure mine :( On a separate note, does anyone know where this sort of Serve speed cage is available locally (in my case Central LA) |
I'm currently trying to get my serves down..and I'm wondering...what are some things that you concentrate on to try to get the ball to hit the back fence on one bounce after you hit the ball on the serve? Thanks, SlAyR |
After that the most important things are not trying too hard, making your arm as loose as possible, and just trusting yourself to let it go. The serves should be hit with belief and agression. My various serves if you haven't seen them. http://vimeo.com/4678697 J |
Most people seriously over estimate their service speed. I rarely break 110, but when I do people have trouble even getting their racquet on the ball even if the ball is close to them. I doubt even at the 4.5 level that anyone I've ever played against has broken 100mph in a match.
As far as hitting the back fence, my fastest serves hit the back fence still rising at a good clip maybe 5 feet high. If the fence were another 20' farther back I suspect they would hit about 8 feet high. One problem you may be having is that when you swing hard you are not hitting the ball clean. Some of my best serves have felt softer than what I would have expected. Hitting the ball clean in the sweet spot is *way* more important than hitting hit hard. |
