I like them!!! duovamp 06-08-2009, 06:46 PM The only indigenous reptiles in the areas surrounding my place of residence are snakes and turtles. I feel pretty screwed by that. I would like lizards to be near me, either by natural occurrence or, conversely, I would like to live in a place of lizard-bearing climate.

I like the lizards. I used to have a pet lizard named Bob. pink_ribbon_scars 06-08-2009, 11:23 PM "lizards" are all over the place here in houston. i actually don't know the definition of lizard and don't know if any of the things i speak of are lizards, but we have gobs of geckos and anoles. anoles puff their bright red necks out and are super cute. and geckos light to hang out in my compost bin and by the lights outside my door. i love them. it's one of the things i will miss if i move back to a colder place. what kind of lizards do you have, whatcolor? Trotskilicious 06-08-2009, 11:33 PM geckos and anoles are both lizards lizards are cold blooded and scaly skinned. so they're different from amphibians in the skin dept. I was gonna say they live on land and not water but alligators are lizards. now i know frogs are amphibians but i dunno about toads... Trotskilicious 06-08-2009, 11:35 PM is defined as all extant members of the Lepidosauria (reptiles with overlapping scales) which are neither sphenodonts (i.e., Tuatara) nor snakes. agenda suicide 06-08-2009, 11:36 PM I am not a fan of lizards because they were everywhere at the house in Houston. I tried catching one to put back outside and it just lost it's tail and ran off. I couldn't stop thinking about geckos being on me in my sleep. *shudder* Trotskilicious 06-08-2009, 11:37 PM alligators are NOT lizards but they are reptiles 4 families of Reptiles = Crocs & Gators, tuataras, lizards & snakes, and turtles pink_ribbon_scars 06-08-2009, 11:37 PM is defined as all extant members of the Lepidosauria (reptiles with overlapping scales) which are neither sphenodonts (i.e., Tuatara) nor snakes. :) ty Trotskilicious 06-08-2009, 11:39 PM WIKI IS EASY TO USE Shallowed 06-09-2009, 12:28 AM Where I am currently living there are lizards aplenty. I like them. Shallowed 06-09-2009, 12:31 AM If I make a similar thread about cicadas, how would that make you feel? Cicadas are awesome. Nimrod's Son 06-09-2009, 12:10 PM geckos and anoles are both lizards lizards are cold blooded and scaly skinned. so they're different from amphibians in the skin dept. I was gonna say they live on land and not water but alligators are lizards. now i know frogs are amphibians but i dunno about toads...They're different from amphibians in that they always breathe air where amphibians breathe water as young. A toad is an amphibian. Trotskilicious 06-09-2009, 12:24 PM yah i read that, they don't have the overlapping scales either i used to know all this stuff when i was a young lad in elementary school. but it's all gone now. shannon 06-09-2009, 12:27 PM the picture of that lizard is very cute, but it would definitely weird me out to look out my window and see like 5 of them chilling on my fence Caine Walker 06-09-2009, 12:32 PM what if they got in your room? that would be terrible! Mo 06-09-2009, 12:32 PM Yes, but only small and harmless ones. Caine Walker 06-09-2009, 12:32 PM for the lizard people: do you guys ever stomp them, having mistaken them for large bugs? Trotskilicious 06-09-2009, 12:33 PM No. Goodness how large do bugs get in Chicago? agenda suicide 06-09-2009, 12:36 PM a huge stick bug was on my arm two days ago. freaked me the fuck out. I don't mind small critters.. but the second they're ON me, I am not okay. Trotskilicious 06-09-2009, 12:38 PM walking sticks are totally radical though Caine Walker 06-09-2009, 12:39 PM No. Goodness how large do bugs get in Chicago? hmm... first let me ask, how big do small lizards get? agenda suicide 06-09-2009, 12:42 PM walking sticks are totally radical though no they are not. especially their long gangly legs. *shudder* agenda suicide 06-09-2009, 12:42 PM hmm... first let me ask, how big do small lizards get? more importantly, lets figure out how to get a big nat in. Nimrod's Son 06-09-2009, 12:48 PM the picture of that lizard is very cute, but it would definitely weird me out to look out my window and see like 5 of them chilling on my fence you get used to it. they love to lie in the sun and do push ups!

Brute Squad 06-09-2009, 11:13 PM I thought Thom was in England exactlythesame 06-10-2009, 12:14 AM for the lizard people: do you guys ever stomp them, having mistaken them for large bugs? the baby lizards are sometimes the size of large bugs and hardly fast enough to run away if you chose to stomp one, but dude, it looks like an effing lizard i accidentally ripped one's tail off today, i felt bad but it'll grow back, no worries cork_soaker 06-10-2009, 02:00 AM got some big uns round these parts here usually i see them dead on the side of the road dean_r_koontz 06-10-2009, 04:31 AM ridiculous poll Sonic Johnny 06-10-2009, 04:33 AM where is there not lizards? other than maybe ireland? redbull 06-10-2009, 04:38 AM fuck cicadas. there was a year where like 15 different generations of them all bred at once. so fucking loud. redbull 06-10-2009, 04:39 AM there are no lizards in illinois from what i can tell Martyr 06-10-2009, 04:42 AM No such thing as exotic wildlife in Ireland. Except Leprechauns of course. pink_ribbon_scars 06-10-2009, 11:09 PM I thought Thom was in England he's been in england for about 6 months. this was before that. Dudes, I rescued a frog from a deep hole tonight, and then about a hour later I stepped on it. :cry: It was visibly flattened at first, but not dead. I got it to move a little, then I left it alone, will probably see it lying there dead tomorrow. So shitty. Lately there are dead frogs all over the roads in Houston. I wouldn't know this if I drove a car, but from my bike it's really obvious and yucky. Sorry that I got off of the topic of lizards. ammy 06-11-2009, 11:57 AM while packing up the backyard, i can across a rather large (maybe a foot log, with tail) alligator lizard living in a cubboard we keep outside (for bbq items and such) and caught him in a tupperware so Des could see. He was really pretty. We then let him go as I told her about how well he was camoflaged and why - and that he didn't really like to be in the tupperware so we should let him go home (well if home was that cupboard he's not going back...) he was really pretty. we sat and watched him for probably 20 minutes before des finally got bored. In that 20 minutes he probably only moved 8 feet. that's 24 feet an hour. BLAZING. this is not him. <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/66/157767368_ad9a6c3148.jpg?v=0> YSEM 06-11-2009, 03:41 PM i do not like lizards, but i respect them. dean_r_koontz 06-11-2009, 05:33 PM i do not like lizards, but i respect them. this is pure crazy talk murgle 06-11-2009, 05:39 PM I used to catch lizards when I was little. Oh, and as far as the 'stepping on them' thing, nah they're way too fast (unless you're a wiley kid like me who was into catching lizards and turtles and frogs). I did make a point of always looking out for them when I walked up the stairs at my old apartment. They were EVERYWHERE and I was just terrified that I was going to accidently share a step with the slowest lizard ever (or a really old one or something) and just smoosh him. I also HATE it when people step on snails just because they're on the sidewalk. Walk around them or move them! damn! murgle 06-11-2009, 05:41 PM oh, and once when I was little, a skink had latched onto my finger (it didn't hurt. i dont think they have teeth), but my grandfather mistook my laughing for crying or something, so he yanked that lizard off my hand and threw it into the yard. Then he felt bad because I was upset that he threw the lizard. It was okay though, I caught another one later. YSEM 06-11-2009, 05:48 PM i move animals that look like they might be in danger. the other night geo and i witnessed a cat get hit by a car around 10pm. i got her to turn around and pull into a parking lot. i asked her for a shirt. i was standing in the middle of a busy road getting honked at and junk. i wasnt gonna move from in front of that cat. lil guy suffered enough. a man saw us from a bar or stripclub and gave us a box. so we put the cat in the cat and took it to the spca down the road. geo and i were both on our phones calling any number we could think of. the cat was still alive and trying to stand. i ran across the street and got water from a convenience store. we left the kitty in front of the door to the spca along with a note. we left him with some water and food. the next morning i called and apparently the kitty was still alive and okay. i kinda wish i could adopt it (she offered to waive all the fees and give it shots for free and junk) but i cant. murgle 06-11-2009, 06:21 PM aw that's an awesome story! Way to go Lauren! I would have inconsolable if I saw a cat get hit by a car. I love animals more than people, actually. I screamed like a fool a couple of weeks ago when my boyfriend ALMOST hit a bunny (he didn't hit the bunny because of my maniacal screaming), but then he was really pissed at me for screaming like that for anything NOT a human. YSEM 06-11-2009, 06:25 PM yeah i get that, too. i freak out if im with someone who comes close to hitting an animal. they cant speak and they're little. they need us big humans to watch out for them. :] trev 06-11-2009, 08:55 PM http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/8512/netcommlizardfn0.jpg pink_ribbon_scars 06-11-2009, 09:28 PM beautiful lizard, ammy! and good job saving those little animals, you other chicks. :) slunken 06-11-2009, 09:30 PM Lazarus Lizards.

Major fuel reduction burn to protect North-East towns
Harnessing the power of social media to promote Tasmania to the world
Community protection fuel reduction burns continue
Tasman Island from Cape Pillar
The dramatic sea cliffs along the Tasman Peninsula are among the highest and most spectacular in Australia. These columnar dolerite cliffs are outstanding examples of a rock type which is very rare on mainland Australia. The Cape Pillar walk provides an opportunity to gain a superb view of these cliffs.
Various interesting rock formations can also be discovered in the park. The Blowhole, Devils Kitchen and Tasman's Arch are easily accessible by car at the northern end of the park. Waterfall Bay, also accessible by car, offers a spectacular view across the cliff-lined bay to a waterfall which, after rain, plummets straight into the sea.
Seals, penguins, dolphins and whales are all seen at various times, with Australian fur seals using the rugged coastline for breeding and resting, and fairy penguins nesting along the foreshore.
The waters just off the bay contain vast forests of Macrocystis kelp, which is one of the fastest growing organisms on Earth. These spectacular underwater forests are among the most beautiful in the world, and are highly-valued by divers.
Sea birds including gannets and terns frequent the coastline, while the forest harbours smaller birds such as fairy-wrens, scarlet robins, honeyeaters and pardalotes. Tasman National Park also contains a number of nesting raptors including the endangered wedge-tailed eagle and the sea eagle. The area around Mt Spaulding is also is a recognised habitat of the endangered swift parrot.
Most mammals are only seen at night, or around dawn or dusk. Campers often become aware of this through the nocturnal raids of brush-tail possums!
Further details of the wildlife found in the park can be found on our Wildlife of Tasman National Park page.
The park also contains a number of plant species found nowhere else in the world, including some beautiful and rare euphrasias. Three rare species of euphrasia, shown below, are found only in coastal heath communities in Tasman National Park. The park also marks the southern most extension of a number of east coast plants including the oyster bay pine, Richea dracophylla and Eucalyptus johnstonii.
Three species of euphrasia, confined to Tasman National Park. From left to right, Euphrasia amphisysepala, E. sp. 'fabula' and E. phragmostoma.

Ion (window manager)
Ion in use
Developer(s) | Tuomo Valkonen[1] |
Stable release | ion-3-20090110 (stable)[citation needed] / January 10, 2009 |
Operating system | Unix-like |
License | LGPL-like with naming restrictions |
Website | tuomov |
In Unix computing, Ion is a tiling and tabbing window manager for the X Window System. It is designed such that it is possible to manage windows using only a keyboard, without needing a mouse. It is the successor of PWM and is written by the same author, Tuomo Valkonen.[1] Since the first release of Ion in the summer 2000, similar alternative window management ideas have begun to show in other new window managers: Larswm, ratpoison, StumpWM, wmii, xmonad and awesome.
First versions of Ion were released under the Artistic License, Ion2 and the development versions of Ion3 were released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). However, the first release candidate of Ion3 included a license change to a custom license based on the LGPL (specifically modified versions must not use the name ion).[2]
Since version 2, Ion has been scriptable in Lua.[1]
As of September 17, 2009, Valkonen states he is unlikely to continue development of Ion by himself.[citation needed]
The official home page went off-line early 2010. A mirror of the source (including the darcs repository) is available among other places here
A fork, Notion, is being actively maintained.
Tuomo Valkonen, the author of Ion, has been at the center of several controversies concerning the licensing and distribution of his software, in particular the proclivity of major Linux and BSD distributions of making outdated development versions of Ion3 (the current unstable development branch) available as part of "frozen" software repositories. Often, such versions will include patches, such as for Xinerama or Xft support, both of which Valkonen disapproves on professional and personal grounds and has had removed from the main source tree. Yet, such distribution would seem to imply that the patched version is the official Ion3 package maintained by Valkonen himself, which he sees as unacceptable. Valkonen has even recently become an outspoken critic of the entire free software and open source movement (the "FOSS herd", as he refers to it)[3] due to his perceived mistreatment at the hands of several major distributions, including Arch Linux, Debian, pkgsrc (NetBSD, DragonflyBSD), and FreeBSD.[citation needed]
On April 28, 2007, Valkonen warned the Arch Linux maintainers of possible legal action because the (unofficial) Arch User Repository contained scripts to install Ion3 with patches he did not approve of.[4] Later on he did the same with the pkgsrc maintainer of the NetBSD project[5] and the ports maintainer of the FreeBSD project.[6] As of December 12, 2007,[7] the development branch of Ion, along with other software by Valkonen, was pulled[8] from the FreeBSD ports tree, after the author filed a complaint about outdated development releases still being available. Any version of Ion may still be installed from source code on any Unix system with proper libraries and dependencies.
Valkonen has implied in several mailing lists that he has become completely disillusioned with, if not openly hostile toward, the free software community in general. He plans to switch to developing strictly closed-source software for the Windows platform in the future.[9] Subsequently the author has given up on *nix and started using Windows instead.[10][not in citation given]
The notion fork is actively maintained.
Window managers similar to ion include wmii, dwm, xmonad, larswm, i3, and awesome.

iKnowU's Keyboard app for super-fast predictive typing available now on Google Play
[November 28, 2012]
iKnowU's Keyboard app for super-fast predictive typing available now on Google Play
Tests have shown that using iKnowU can be up to seven times faster than using a conventional smartphone keyboard: that means less time and effort, and a productivity boost for business users. The iKnowU app is available to download from the Google Play store for $1.99, with a free time-limited trial version also available. The first iKnowU Keyboard app supports US English and is designed for North American users. More languages will be supported soon.
"We've been developing and patenting predictive text technology for over 10 years so we know there isn't another keyboard app on the market that can match what iKnowU does," said Mark Dostie, CTO of Wordlogic. "We're really excited to launch our first Android app. Anyone looking for a simple and incredibly effective keyboard app will love iKnowU. In terms of accuracy, speed and ease of use there's nothing else that can touch it." Some of the iKnowU keyboard's unique and patented features include 'WordChunking(TM)', a method of intelligently predicting words based on letters as they are entered as well as chaining them together into accurate phrases while preserving screen real estate and 'Gesturing(TM)' which provides a unique and effortless way to choose words and phrases. Every time the user enters information, iKnowU is learning the user's words, phrases and style of writing and dynamically adapting its predictions to further increase accuracy and speed of entry.
Key Features Include: - WordChunking(TM) - Displays possible predictions allowing you to find the word or phrase you're looking for quickly and accurately - Word and Phrase Prediction - Create whole sentences and phrases in a fraction of the time that you'd normally take to type them - Gesturing(TM)- Enter words and phrases with sub-second input resulting in blazing fast entry speeds with full accuracy - Autocorrect - Type fast No problem our market leading word/phrase corrections will fix your spelling errors.
- Re-correct - If auto-correct gets it wrong you can swipe across the keyboard to delete it OR choose the green suggestion from the top and iKnowU will learn it as well - AutoLearn - iKnowU learns and monitors your style and use of words, adjusting to better predict what you want to type - Cloud Sync - Make sure all the words, phrases and writing style information learned about you on one device is synchronized to all your devices using the iKnowU app - Smart learn - Predicts names of people & places, email addresses, websites and more - Right or Left Handed Preference - iKnowU adjusts its actions and displays based upon the setup for either right or left-handed - Multi-keyboards & Themes ------- Ends ------- Note to editors: The smartphone and tablet versions of the app are available now on Google Play in both full and free trial versions: iKnowU Keyboard free trial Version for mobile devices:

Finally! It's here, after 6 months of planning out so many sprite animations & it ended in failure & this is a flash which hasn't failed me yet! The intro for the Alvin Earthworm dedication of the SMBZ series is now here.
I hope you like this intro, the last parts rushed, I just want to end this intro quickly so then I can move on & work on the 1st episode of Super Smash Bros Z.
The song used in this is not mine, this is the 3rd opening of Cardcaptor Sakura which is from the studio (KLAMP). I also like to thank ShadeFalcon for the DBZ special effects, anyway... enjoy the intro.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Well I'd have to say that this flash is unremarkable in every way. And that's an understatement. You're not the first to model you're SMBZ ripoff after Smash Bros. You don't even hold true to the game since you're using a bunch of characters who weren't in Smash Bros. I'm sure none of us remember the Star Spirits being a part of Smash Bros (but we do remember them being a part of Alvin-Earthworms intro). Why not use Smash balls? And Mecha-Shadow? Come on... Way to be original. True, it's the first time I've seen those sprites, but it's still no big leap from Mecha-Sonic.
I'll reserve further judgement until I actually see some episodes. But there's a good chance that if you ripoff ideas for your intro, then your plot will probably be ripped off as well.

ODF Alliance: Microsoft Support for ODF is Lacking
The Open Document Format (ODF) Alliance has analyzed whether Microsoft's Service Pack 2 for Office 2007 fulfills the promise for compatibility with the free document standard. Their findings give little reason to hope.
The standard organization sees the conversion as a kind of litmus test to see just how serious Microsoft is regarding interoperability. Upon analysis, the enterprise has apparently not done a particularly good job of realizing this aim: "unfortunately, serious shortcomings have been identified in Microsoft's support for ODF.", stated Marino Marcich (director of the ODF Alliance). "A number of basic interoperability tests between Microsoft Office 2007 and various ODF-supporting software suites revealed that the level of interoperability is far short of what governments around the world are demanding", according to Marcich. For example, simple spread sheet functions such as addition do not function under the conversion as well as page numbers, diagrams, and other objects are simply missing when opened in the tests.
In addition, the standards activist Rob Weir a couple of days ago came to a similar conclusion using Excel 2007 with Service Pack 2. Pamela Jones of the legal platform Groklaw was also of the mind that Microsoft had failed to deliver "To Microsoft, vendor lock-in is not a bug, I suspect, but a feature." She elaborated by explaining she never expected a change of opinion regarding the enterprise, but felt for the various worldwide governments truly trying to attain electronic communication interoperability for their citizens. ODF Alliance boss Marcich also sees this goal as endangered with Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2007: "Putting potentially millions of ODF files into circulation that are non-interoperable and incompatible with the ODF support provided by other vendors is a recipe for fragmentation."
The test results are available as a Fact Sheet on the ODF Alliance Web site.

99-year-old Exchange Club volunteer honored for years of service
Frank Jones is something of a money man, having sifted through receipts, logged donations and ordered office supplies at the Exchange Club Family Center for the past 16 years.
But, at 99 years old, Jones seems more like a beloved grandfather to the center's staff, who honored his years of service in a combination Christmas/retirement party Wednesday afternoon.
Jones has donated four hours a day, four to five days a week, every week, for the past 16 years to the Family Center — amounting to over 15,000 hours of service.
For that, as well as for his service in the Pacific Theater during World War II, Memphis Mayor A C Wharton declared Wednesday Frank Jones Day in the city of Memphis.
"He really has that Greatest Generation work ethic," said Barbara King, the center's executive director. "You could count on him to be here even if no one else was."
Jones spent more than 30 years working in the mortgage loan business before retiring, then quickly went back to work again for another dozen years before retiring for the second time.
Though he may initially have had expectations of beginning a more leisurely life, his wife Lillian Jones said, "he realized immediately he didn't want to do that."
That's when a friend suggested that he help out at the Family Center, since he had already been a member of The Exchange Club for about 15 years.
Jones quickly fell in love with his work at the center, and with the staff as well. The feeling was clearly mutual on Wednesday when they presented him with a carved wooden box filled with handwritten notes and photos from everyone in the office.
"There's just no way I can express my thanks to all of you for putting up with me all this time," said Jones.
King, along with two other staff members, recited poems in Jones' honor, which they deemed especially fitting given his penchant for rattling off verses from Shakespeare, Keating or Poe around the office.
Jones moves a little — though not much — slower than he used to but, his friends say, he still likes to take his wife out dancing whenever they can and has a more active social life than most people half his age.
King said that Jones' warmth, wisdom and sense of humor will be dearly missed around the office. And so will, she said, his tendency to scour every catalog for the best price on office supplies.
"I just know our expenses are going to go up now that he's leaving us."

Do you find yourself giving money to grown up children while telling them you never took a dime from your parents? Today, more of the nation's younger generations (20s, 30s, even 40s) are dependent on their parents and grandparents. Should parents set limits, or is this transfer of wealth a social and economic necessity in the long jobless recession? How has this growing dependence changed the country? Check out what some experts are saying.
Some grandmas, like White House resident Marian Robinson, are happy to help care for their grandchildren... and even agree to move in. But, others, who feel that they gave their all in raising their children are not looking to repeat the parenting process with the next generation. While it takes a village to raise a child, the modern village may be more heavily populated with "nannies than nanas." To hear both sides, click here.

Sleep disorders are among the most common medical complaints in our society. A sleep disorder can last a few nights, causing minor inconvenience, or become a pervasive illness affecting all aspects of a person's life.
People who suffer from sleep disorders may experience excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, body aches, impaired judgment, irritability and depression. Sleep deprivation can exacerbate or contribute to hypertension, coronary artery disease and stroke.
The hospital-based Sleep Center offers a comprehensive program in which patients are assessed and treated. Fully accredited and distinguished as a sleep disorders center by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the Sleep Center at MidHudson Regional Hospital of Westchester Medical Center meets or exceeds all standards for professional quality health care as designated by the Academy.
Board-certified physicians evaluate each patient and make recommendations for follow-up care. Our specialized team of sleep professionals is dedicated to providing the highest quality of sleep medicine available. The Center is staffed with highly trained, licensed and credentialed clinicians whose expertise includes Respiratory Therapy, Electroencephalography and Polysomnography. The staff embraces a multidisciplinary approach, working with practitioners who specialize in neurology, otolaryngology, cardiology, pulmonology, psychiatry and dentistry.
If you believe you are suffering from a sleep disorder, the Sleep Center at MidHudson Regional Hospital can help you once again enjoy the benefits of regular, restorative sleep.
Sleep Disorders
Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep; waking earlier than desired. Insomnia can be caused by medical or behavioral factors such as stress, tension, shift-work or poor sleep habits.
Sleep Apnea: Brief pauses of breathing during sleep. Often associated with loud snoring, snorting and gasping for breath, sleep apnea can result in daytime sleepiness, depression, and cardiovascular problems.
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: Struggling to stay awake during the day. Reduced productivity at school or work; memory or concentration difficulties.
Narcolepsy: Sleep attacks; sudden muscular weakness in response to strong emotion; brief paralysis upon falling asleep or waking up.
Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movement Disorder: Uncomfortable sensations in the legs near sleep time sometimes described as a creepy-crawly feeling. Legs and arms may move or jerk involuntarily during sleep.
Nocturnal Seizures: May occur just after a person has fallen asleep, just before waking, during daytime sleep, or while in a state of drowsiness. People who experience nocturnal seizures may find it difficult to wake up or stay awake.
Sleep Study
A sleep study is a noninvasive test which is performed while you sleep overnight in a private, quiet, comfortable setting. While you sleep, your sleep pattern, breathing pattern, oxygen level, heart activity, brain activity, and muscle activity are monitored and the data is collected. Your study is then analyzed and sleep staff physicians interpret the computed data.
Appointments and Evaluations
Discuss your concerns with your doctor who can refer you for a consultation or diagnostic study. You may also call the Center directly for further information.
Insurance and Cost
Most managed care plans and insurance companies cover the cost of evaluating, testing, and treating sleep disorders. Individual payment plans can also be arranged.
The Sleep Center at MidHudson Regional Hospital of Westchester Medical Center is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

COLUMBIA — Four more defendants in gang-related cases have pleaded guilty to federal charges over the last three days, according to a news release from United States Attorney Matt J. Whitworth.
On Wednesday, Dajuan Anthony Harris, 26, pleaded guilty in the Western District Court of Missouri to counts in a federal indictment that includes charges of the transfer and use of firearms in connection with a drug trafficking operation. On Tuesday, Cheviss Caron Denny, 21; Ryan Montez Kee, 22; and Robert Lee Jones, 19, also pleaded guilty to counts in that indictment.
The men are among 16 defendants accused of being associated with the Cut Throat gang. They were initially charged with drug and gun offenses in February. According to a grand jury indictment filed in April, from January 2007 to January 2009 the defendants trafficked cocaine and marijuana and were involved in several gun-related incidents, including three drive-by shootings in Columbia and Jefferson City.
The four pleas come after three defendants in the indictment, William Ricky Boyd, 21; Tarron Montez Cason, 26; and Michael Lee Stapleton, 23, pleaded guilty on Monday to gun and drug charges, including their involvement in the May 31, 2008, drive-by shooting at a Petro Mart gas station located at 3300 Falling Leaf Drive.
The shooting was an attempt to get revenge against a man who they thought was responsible for shooting an associate of the gang at a Break Time gas station at 1000 Smiley Lane on June 2, 2007, the news release states.
That shooting was due in part to a territorial dispute between the Cut Throat gang and a rival gang for the distribution of narcotics, officials have said.
During the 2008 shooting, a 29-year-old male bystander was shot in the face, but the wound was not fatal. It was later determined that the wounded man had not been involved in the first shooting.
Robert Darnell Simmons, 36, pleaded guilty to his involvement in that shooting, as well as other charges, on May 21. He was the first defendant to plead guilty to federal charges.
Kee, Jones and Harris admitted their involvement in the 2008 shooting, and Denny admitted that he was present during the 2007 shooting.
Denny and Jones both admitted to possessing firearms as part of a narcotics operation. Kee pleaded guilty to one count of possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute.
On July 8, 2008, during a traffic stop on Interstate 70 in Boone County, authorities pulled over Jones and Kee, and discovered cocaine and marijuana in their vehicle, which they admitted they were transporting for the purposes of redistribution, the release states.
Denny could receive a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years in federal prison without parole, and a maximum sentence of life in prison. Jones could receive as many as 39 years in prison without parole, Kee could receive 20 years without parole and Harris could receive 14 years without parole.
Don Ledford, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney, said the remaining defendants could be tried by the end of the month.

Within the United Kingdom there is a significant revival of therapeutic counselling services in schools. This study looks at three factors which may affect students' willingness to attend such a service: location of the service (school-based or external); format (individual or group); and sex of counsellor. The views of 584 students from four Scottish secondary schools were surveyed. Approximately three-quarters of students expressed a preference for seeing a counsellor in their school. Over 80 percent of students expressed a preference for seeing a counsellor on their own, and this was particularly marked in older pupils. There was also a preference within the sample for female counsellors, particularly amongst female respondents, and most markedly amongst young female respondents. Implications of these findings are discussed in the light of related qualitative research, and methodological limitations of the study are highlighted.

In mathematics, a monomial is, roughly speaking, a polynomial which has only one term. Two different definitions of a monomial may be encountered:
- For the first definition, a monomial, also called power product, is a product of powers of variables with nonnegative integer exponents, or, in other words, a product of variables, possibly with repetitions. The constant 1 is a monomial, being equal to the empty product and x0 for any variable x. If only a single variable x is considered, this means that a monomial is either 1 or a power xn of x, with n a positive integer. If several variables are considered, say, then each can be given an exponent, so that any monomial is of the form with non-negative integers (taking note that any exponent 0 makes the corresponding factor equal to 1).
- For the second definition, a monomial is a monomial in the first sense multiplied by a nonzero constant, called the coefficient of the monomial. A monomial in the first sense is also a monomial in the second sense, because the multiplication by 1 is allowed. For example, in this interpretation and are monomials (in the second example, the variables are and the coefficient is a complex number).
In the context of Laurent polynomials and Laurent series, the exponents of a monomial may be negative, and in the context of Puiseux series, the exponents may be rational numbers.
Since the word "polynomial" comes from "poly-" plus the Greek word "νομός" (nomós, meaning part, portion), a monomial should theoretically be called a "mononomial". "Monomial" is a syncope of "mononomial".[1]
Comparison of the two definitions[edit]
With either definition, the set of monomials is a subset of all polynomials that is closed under multiplication.
Both uses of this notion can be found, and in many cases the distinction is simply ignored, see for instance examples for the first[2] and second[3] meaning, and an unclear definition. In informal discussions the distinction is seldom important, and tendency is towards the broader second meaning. When studying the structure of polynomials however, one often definitely needs a notion with the first meaning. This is for instance the case when considering a monomial basis of a polynomial ring, or a monomial ordering of that basis. An argument in favor of the first meaning is also that no obvious other notion is available to designate these values (the term power product is in use, in particular when monomial is used with the first meaning, but it does not make the absence of constants clear either), while the notion term of a polynomial unambiguously coincides with the second meaning of monomial.
The remainder of this article assumes the first meaning of "monomial".
As bases[edit]
The most obvious fact about monomials (first meaning) is that any polynomial is a linear combination of them, so they form a basis of the vector space of all polynomials - a fact of constant implicit use in mathematics.
The number of monomials of degree d in n variables is the number of multicombinations of d elements chosen among the n variables (a variable can be chosen more than once, but order does not matter), which is given by the multiset coefficient . This expression can also be given in the form of a binomial coefficient, as a polynomial expression in d, or using a rising factorial power of d + 1:
The latter forms are particularly useful when one fixes the number of variables and lets the degree vary. From these expressions one sees that for fixed n, the number of monomials of degree d is a polynomial expression in d of degree with leading coefficient .
For example, the number of monomials in three variables () of degree d is ; these numbers form the sequence 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ... of triangular numbers.
The Hilbert series is a compact way to express the number of monomials of a given degree: the number of monomials of degree d in n variables is the coefficient of degree d of the formal power series expansion of
The number of monomials of degree at most d in n variables is This follows from the one to one correspondence between the monomials of degree d in n+1 variables and the monomials of degree at most d in n variables, which consists in substituting by 1 the extra variable.
Notation for monomials is constantly required in fields like partial differential equations. If the variables being used form an indexed family like , , , ..., then multi-index notation is helpful: if we write
we can define
and save a great deal of space.
The degree of a monomial is defined as the sum of all the exponents of the variables, including the implicit exponents of 1 for the variables which appear without exponent; e.g., in the example of the previous section, the degree is . The degree of is 1+1+2=4. The degree of a nonzero constant is 0. For example, the degree of -7 is 0.
The degree of a monomial is sometimes called order, mainly in the context of series. It is also called total degree when it is needed to distinguish it from the degree in one of the variables.
Monomial degree is fundamental to the theory of univariate and multivariate polynomials. Explicitly, it is used to define the degree of a polynomial and the notion of homogeneous polynomial, as well as for graded monomial orderings used in formulating and computing Gröbner bases. Implicitly, it is used in grouping the terms of a Taylor series in several variables.
In algebraic geometry the varieties defined by monomial equations for some set of α have special properties of homogeneity. This can be phrased in the language of algebraic groups, in terms of the existence of a group action of an algebraic torus (equivalently by a multiplicative group of diagonal matrices). This area is studied under the name of torus embeddings.

Level Up! Holiday Gadget Special (Mania.com)
Tim Janson
Monday, December 16, 2013
It's time again for Level Up to take a look at some of the cool new gadgets that are available for that special someone on your Christmas shopping list this year.
Phones are one of the most popular items sold during the holiday season and one of the items you absolutely must have to protect your smart phone is a good case. In fact it's probably more of an essential item to get with your new phone than even other accessories like a car charger. In this part of our Holiday Guide we take a look at several cases with quick bullet reviews
Ballistic EV0993-M105 Every1 Case (Ballistic) for iPhone 5
Grade: B
The Every1 case is rated to withstand drops from 6 – 15 feet which is quite a wide gap. Solid drop protection but not waterproof. The case is bulky but not as bulk as other similar cases. Can still fit comfortably in a pocket although maybe not while sitting. The buttons all are responsive when pushed through the screen protector. There is a small hole around the front facing camera that could potentially let in dirt or water so beware. Some owners have reported the belt clip breaking off although I personally don't use them. Comes in 10 different colors.
Ballistic HC0956-M005 Hard Core (Ballistic) for iPhone 5
Grade: A-
The Ballistic Hard Core Series Case is engineered with five layers of engineered drop protection, including a built in screen protector, water resistant mesh over bottom speakers and an extremely durable rotating holster. The case is actually five layers in all: Built in screen protector, Ballistic shock absorbent polymer, Tough impact resistant polycarbonate, An additional layer of our Ballistic shock absorbent polymer, and Optional outer layer of silicone. Despite the layers it's still surprisingly sleek. It CAN be problematic to take the case apart and put it together again. The protection it affords unfortunately does not lend itself to quick disassembly and assembly. It is not waterproof, however, despite the layers of protection.
Ballistic SG Maxx (Ballistic) for iPhone 5
Grade: B+
Here's another solid case from Ballistic. The Drop test indicator notes approximately safe at around 12 feet. The case itself offers four layers of protection that obviously increases its profile but doesn't make it obtrusive. It's padded especially well on the corners, comes with its own holster as well as its own high impact screen protector. The layers leave the phone slightly recessed inside which allows you to lay the phone screen down without it actually touching the surface. The case is not waterproof. There is a bit of a loss of sensitivity on the touch screen when using the included screen protector.
Ballistic Smooth (Ballistic) for iPhone 5
Grade: B+
The Ballistic Smooth is in direct contrast to the previous Ballistic cases. As opposed to those other cases that completely enclose your phone with multiple layers, the Smooth is a single layer that you insert your phone into. Not sure what it's made of…maybe neoprene. But while its thin it is fairly rigid and durable. It's not going to give you the kind of drop protection of the other cases but on the other hand, it's the least bulky by far and barely adds any weight or size to the phone making it easy to carry in your pocket. Now one interesting aspect is that it comes with four sets of corner bumpers, each in a different color, to allow you a small measure of customization.
Seidio Obex Waterproof Case (Seidio) Samsung Galaxy S4
Grade: A-
If you have a need a waterproof case for your new Galaxy S4, look no further than the Obex case. Tested this out (without my phone in it!) and what do you know…it truly is waterproof. The case halves snap together firmly, and it seals well. Sound performance for calls is very good but not so much if you want to use the speakerphone. But hey…use it with a Bluetooth earphone and problem solved. Definitely increases the profile of the phone but you expect that for the level of protection. The S4 fits into this quite nicely and the port cutouts are lined up perfectly. The screen protector really shows off the fingerprints and is one of the things I dislike most. The holster is outstanding.
Bem Wireless Boom Box (Bem)
Grade: A-
Remember those giant boom boxes of the 1980s that were the size of a small suitcase and weighed as much? Well Bem has released a new Boom Box that features all the power and lush sound in a size of a small mailbox. Measuring 12 x 5 x 9.5 inches and weighing just 6 pounds, the Bem Wireless Boom Box packs a lot of punch into its small size. Inside the box you find the speaker, 3.5mm cable, wall charger, and the user guide.
The unit itself is quite sleek with an oval shape. The front and back metal casing makes it durable for taking with you on the go. And by on the go I mean it is Bluetooth compatible so you can connect with any Bluetooth device such as your phone, iPod, iPad, Playstation, etc…and if you don't have a Blu-tooth device, no problem. It has a smooth handle allowing you to carry it like a bag or prop it up on your shoulder if you want to relive 1980's glory days. The 3.5MM cable allows you to connect it easily to a speaker or headphone output. The unit comes with both aux input and output.
The speaker provides 2.1 channel stereo powered by two 4.5 watt speakers and an 8 watt subwoofer. The sound is quite good with deep, resonating bass and clear mids although with the volume pushed up too high it can become slightly distorted. But the sound is clear and loud enough to use at parties and small gatherings. It boasts a range of up to 25' from your wireless source and that can be plus or minus depending on variable conditions.
The Bem Wireless Boombox can last about 9 – 10 hours on a full charge and features power level, charging, and Bluetooth indicator lights. The only real downside to me is that the $249.00 price tags is a little steep. I've seen speakers with similar specs for a lower price although admittedly they were not as portable friendly as this one.
SwannEye HD Plug & Play Wi-fi Security Camera (Swann)
Grade: B
If you're looking for a low-cost and easy to use (mostly) Wi-Fi security camera, look no further than the SwannEye HD Plug & Play camera. The camera is generally easy to setup. Just download the App for your phone or tablet, scan the unique QR code that comes with your camera, and then you are ready to view video in crisp 720p quality from anywhere…no networking needed. The app is available both for Apple and Android devices. The camera can be mounted on any flat surface including walls or ceilings and obviously freely moved about wherever you want.
The camera has motion sensors which start recording as soon as motion is detected and can send you and e-mail alert. Built-in infrared LEDs offer night vision capability up to 32'. The camera has a built-in microphone for one way recording. The camera has a micro SD slot that can handle up to a 32 GB SD Card for recording/storage. The video is much crisper than I expected. Surprisingly clean and I was impressed. The sound is average but then again my expectations were not very high.
Not the down side, the camera is designed for indoor use only. I suppose you could put it outdoors if you live in an area where you don't deal with a lot of elements and cold weather as long as it's covered but otherwise you will need to keep it inside. The camera is NOT a spycam. It's 6 ¾" tall and 3 ½" wide so you could stash it behind something if that was the intent but then you'll be covering the motion detector. While the plug & play aspect works fine, networking is another issue. Your router has to come with a pairing button which mine did not. It does come with an Ethernet cable to connect with a wired connection but then that limits your ability to move the camera around. You can connect wireless in a time consuming process that has you connect via Ethernet, connect to your network via the software, then disconnect the cable.. I personally did not try this method so cannot speak to how well this method works.
Overall for the price the SwannEye HD Plug & Play Camera ($129.00) is a solid little item but not one to be a whole home security system.
Phiaton Chord MS 530 Headset (Phiaton)
Grade: A
At $299 the Phiaton Chord headset is pricey but they are also well worth it as a top-of-the-line set of headphones. The Chord MS 530 has incredible sound quality featuring Bluetooth 4.0 and active noise cancelling technology. The Noise cancelling technology cancels up to 98% of ambient background noise so you get all of the music you want without outside distractions. The bluetooth connection works well and easily paired with my phone. The built in mic worked fine with my phone and laptop.
The sound is exceptional and very balanced highs, mids, and lows. The base is incredibly clean and never muffled even when turned up high. The headphones are rechargeable via the included micro USB to USB cable and can play for up to 30 hours with normal play/talk time or up to 18 hours when using the noise canceling feature. The noise canceling feature can be turned on or off and the headset also comes with controls to play, pause, or stop music, adjust the volume, skip to the next song forward or back, or fast forward/rewind. There's also a button for answering or making calls.
The headphones fit comfortably on the ear although they can get a little hot after a long period but that's true with most headphones I think. The package comes with the headphones, micro USB cable, mic cable, inflight adaptor, carrying case, and instruction guide.
Charge It Universal Power Bank (Digital Treasures)
Grade: B
We love chargers here at Level Up and this time out we have a compact, universal to take with you on the go. The Charge It! Is only 3600mAh but it does have two features that really make this item a nice gift. First of all it is compact, measuring only about 3 ½" by 2 ½" so it easily fits in the palm of your hand, pocket, purse, or laptop bag. Open up the case (which stays attached via a hinge) and you see four different connectors inside: Apple 8 pin, Apple 30 pin, Micro USB, and USB. Plug the USB end into any USB compatible charger to charge. A bank of blue LED lights will display the current charge level.
Turn the unit on to charge up your phone, iPod, or tablet. The cords to each connector are only about 1" long so they are extremely short but fold up completely inside the unit's case. These short cords mean you are not going to be far from whatever you are charging obviously and you probably want to hook it up to something that allows it to rest on a table rather than hanging from a wall type charger.
At 3600mAh the unit isn't going to be able to give you many uses and isn't meant to. The Charge It is meant as a backup or emergency charger when you are not near an available outlet and for that, it serves its purpose well.
