The Proliferation of Hope
Environmental destruction seems to be all around us all the time: Poaching, habitat destruction, growing markets for ivory and bushmeat, political strife and increasing human population are reducing wildlife populations for many key species.

The Reds are bringing just enough guys to camp(Crosby, Moeller, etc) that are a complete waste of a roster spot to make me uncomfortable.
The Reds are bringing just enough guys to camp(Crosby, Moeller, etc) that are a complete waste of a roster spot to make me uncomfortable.
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
I really hope I'm proven wrong and he gets a full and fair chance. With this manager, I can't see it happening.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
In 2005 Saarloos -- in the AL -- pitched 160 innings with a 4.17 ERA. (Granted, last year he didn't do as well.)
Nobody else in the fifth starter race has had that kind of performance as a starter in their career.
As for Belisle, I've said it numerous times. He throws harder than some others, but so far I don't think he's ever become the pitcher he was originally projected to be before his back injury. Maybe he will be a late bloomer and prove me wrong. I hope so. But I think long relief is the likely place he'll be this year.
Lots of quotes from lots of folks. Sorry about the loss of atributes.
You know it's kind of interesting. 100 games a year is a pretty low bar. Bubba Crosby has been healthy enough to play baseball for 100 games a season only a handfull of times in his career. My understanding was that Bucky Dent the reds bench coach had Crosby with the Yankees AAA team. My guess is that is why he is in the organization. I don't write any of that to excuse the reds. If it were up to me, dino is the centerfielder till he proves he isn't.If Chris Denorfia doesnt make this team out of ST and Crosby does, I will have given up on management being capable of doing their jobs.
I will not be shocked if Moeller is the 3rd catcher even if Hamilton IS on the squad.I would not be surprised to see Moeller make the squad as the 3rd catcher if Hamilton doesn't make it or gets injured.
Yup. That wouldn't shock me either. Hope it doesn't happen, but the reds have given very little indication that they really want Denorfia around.I really have no doubt in my mind at this stage that the Reds will continue to jerk Denorfia around ..and ...force him into a late, Brady Clark-style, renaissance somewhere else.
Why not? there are several guys in the pen making that or more. I know he's been very vocal about wanting to be a starter and yeah, you need a fifth starter, but look at the splits for Saarloos as a reliever. Over his full career, he's been far more effective out of the pen. I still think he's as good a candidate for closer as anybody else on the staff.Saarloos gets the starting spot. They aren't paying him 1.2M to pitch relief.
That's pretty much what's happened the last couple of years. He's pooped. If he hasn't been healthy the last three years, why should they anticipate relying on him now? The Lizard should CLEARLY be the favorite of that group, but I think Narron has thrown him under the bus.Everybody writes off Belisle because of doubts about his durability but he clearly has the best stuff of that group and the biggest upside. He should be the favorite and the Reds should pitch him till he poops...

"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010
Why exactly is Bubba Crosby being held up as this example of veteran-ness like some grizzled old pro? He has exactly 106 more Major League at bats than Denorfia. He's not an entrenched old timer.
I am hoping against hope that Hamilton is Jose Guillen part duex......
My darkhorse candidate for closer is Lohse. 94 mph and a good change up makes him almost a Trevor Hoffman clone.
I think maybe Freel is going to be traded in ST. The OF will likely start out Dunn, JR, and Hamilton. Deno is the 4th with a guy like Hopper the 5th.
Reds rotation will be Harang, Arroyo, Milton and Saarloos for the first month with Bailey joining as soon as they need a regular 5th starter.
I cannot see Cormier making the team....
Just my two cents.
"Is there a problem officers?"
On the road he was 6-4 with a 3.47 ERA, 5.09 at home. In a pitchers park. He gave up 11 HR's, 6 at home. Over all he's average through the first 15 pitches, great through the next 15, awful the next 15, great again the next 15, back to awful the next 30.
I honestly don't know what to make of the guy.

China's Defence Ministry tells US to stop air and naval surveillance near its borders
Published on Aug 28, 2014 6:53 PM
BEIJING (AFP) - China's military on Thursday told the United States to end air and naval surveillance near its borders, saying it was damaging relations between the Pacific powers and could lead to "undesirable accidents".
The US should "take concrete measures to decrease close-in reconnaissance activities against China towards a complete stop", Defence Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said at a monthly briefing.
Mr Yang's comments came with Beijing and Washington at odds over an incident last week in the skies 220km off China's Hainan island.
The US said that an armed Chinese fighter jet flew dangerously close to a US military aircraft, while China countered in a ministry statement carried on state media that the allegations were "totally groundless".

American Cancer Society selects Cordova resident as a Hero of Hope
The American Cancer Society's Mid-South Division recently named Lori Kuhuski of Cordova a "Hero of Hope." Kuhuski is one of 17 cancer survivors and caregivers from Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee to be recognized.
The Heroes of Hope program is in its fifth year. Honorees will serve as spokesmen for the American Cancer Society in their communities. Those selected have triumphed over cancer or cared for loved ones, made significant volunteer contributions to the American Cancer Society, and made an impact in the lives of others.
Kuhuski is a 22-year colon cancer survivor. Always an avid volunteer, Kuhuski sees her cancer experience as an opportunity to help others. Relay For Life has provided Kuhuski with this opportunity, in addition to opening up new avenues of support for her.
"My life has been enriched by the people I have had the good fortune to meet," said Kuhuski. "My fellow survivors are among the best people I have ever met."
Heroes of Hope provide a highly visible symbol of personal victory over the disease, plus encourage support and participation in the programs of the Society. The Heroes of Hope represent the courageous struggle of all cancer patients as they deal with the physical and emotional aspects of their experience.
The American Cancer Society saves lives and creates more birthdays by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back. For more information, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or visit online at cancer.org.

Good drawing for no refs, although proportions of the face are incorrect, especially the ear which is too low. The upper part of the ear should be aligned with the eyes. Look at yourself in the mirror and observe.
You should start trying out lights and shadows. Don't be afraid to just take an object, put it on your table, put a light, and draw. Move the light, observe, draw. Do this with different objects.

I am often doing the excerceise you mentioned. And about the ear. Its cut out in half by hair so the hair is kind of covering the ear.

Information for Corporate Buyers
he market for composite decking, docking and fencing, like those manufactured by Trex®, the largest composite manufacturer, is growing at 15-20%* annually. In 1997 composites decks were 1%* of the market or a $30 million dollar* per year business. In 2008 composites increased their share to 15%*. In 2011, composites represented 45%* of the 1.1 billion dollar non-wood decking market. Some estimates expect composites to be a multi-billion dollar yearly business by 2020. This is only the beginning of what is likely to continue to be an upward trend in this rapidly expanding market.
Composite Deck Market Share - 2008In 2008 composites decking held 15% of the market
Composite Deck Market Share - 2011By the end of 2011, composites represented 45% of the market.
Consumers are choosing composites because they generally require less maintenance than wood. Most do not require expensive, time consuming, painting, staining or sealing with generally toxic chemicals after cleaning. Most will not splinter, twist, check or crack and generally last longer than neglected wood materials. They generally have 10, 15, 20, 25 or limited lifetime warranties. They are perceived to be environmentally responsible because they are generally made from recycled wood fiber/flower and/or plastic. For these, and many more reasons, consumers are turning to composites to replace existing or build new decks, docks and fences.
Most composite owners are upper middle class with a disposable income. Most are eco-conscious, educated, and purchased their composite, in part, due to their environmentally responsible reputation. Most are aware of risks associated with using toxic, sodium hypochlorite containing biocides such as chlorine bleach & unscrupulous deck cleaners, products to be dangerously mixed with chlorine bleach, oxalic acid, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, phosphates, etc. cause to the environment and/or their health. Most prefer not to use polluting, toxic smelling and un-healthy chemicals whenever possible, especially if a competitvely priced, environmentally responsible alternative is available.
Composites generally require routine cleaning at least twice (2x) per year to prevent deep staining although proactive cleaning, especially if mold staining is the primary cleaning issue is highly recommended! Corte*Clean® was developed after all other brand name deck cleaners (most were designed to clean wood and re-labeled "Composite Deck Cleaner") and other chemicals (like those listed above) did not satisfactorily resolve customer claims for a major composite manufacturer. Corte*Clean® was then developed with the help of this composite manufacturer and reputable chemical engineers with over 60+ years of combined experience to safely resolve customer claims related to all common spotting issues like those caused by mold & mildew stains, grease, oil, rust, tannin, BBQ & more.
Corte*Clean® was/is designed to be the strongest, safest, and most environmentally responsible cleaner for routinely cleaning composites. It cleans common stains without excessive cost, risks or effort. The person cleaning the composite will not need to purchase and use multiple products for specific staining issues, with all the associated risks & costs.
Corte*Clean® is recommended by leading composite manufacturers but works on all composite brands. Corte*Clean® has an 18 month shelf life when stored in a cool, dry, environment, so please don't order more than you can sell in this time period. There is approximately 4.2 billion board feet of existing composites needing to be cleaned today.
Thank you for listing us as a Corte*Clean® dealer. The listing has been sending a lot of customers our way.
Thank you,
Marchwood Tru Value® Hardware
Dominique Ralph
For lucrative referral business think Corte*Clean® Composite Deck, Dock & Fence Cleaner from Corte LLC. As the composite industry continues to grow, during these challenging economic times, and reach $2 billion in annual sales, consumers will increasingly need to clean their composites with a single, proven, environmentally responsible, biodegradeable, non-corrosive to structural metal product that does not have all of the potentially costly, negative effects of other cleaning chemicals.
Corte*Clean® should be included with new composite decking, docking and fencing packages. This will help educate customers of the need to clean composites whenever they deem necessary. Customers will then know what to use to clean composites and where to get it. This has been proven to eliminate costly call backs to manufacturers, distributors, retailers and contractors from composite owners.
If you are a retailer and you do buy Corte*Clean® from this website, make sure to contact Corte LLC and have your store(s) added to the "Corte-Clean® Store Locator." We GREATLY appreciate your business. Please CONTACT US if you have any questions.
As of 1/1/2011, Corte LLC has chosen to no longer sell Corte*Clean® through distributors. Retailers whom wish to continue to sell Corte*Clean® can order it directly from Corte LLC. Although this was a tough decision, we believe it is the right one for our customers, the end users. We thank all our new & loyal customers for understanding our decision.

Topic: community
Kicking off the Summer of Love
It's summer here at StackHQ. Have a flower!
You're welcome. Now on to some serious work. Can we talk about cultural anthropology for a minute? I'd like to talk about what happens when a community (online or off) gets to be about… oh, three or four years old.
Every community starts out needing to recruit members, so they tend to be very friendly to newcomers.
After a few years, an insider group of old-timers forms. They get to know each other. They know the rules. They know the history and the legends of the community. And it's only natural to get little bit irritated when newbies show up who don't know the rules.
Newbies will show up, make a newbie mistake, like wearing shoes indoors or forgetting to close the toilet lid, and the old-timers will look at each other, roll their eyes, and snort, "Typical!"
At this point, if it's a normal human community, it will start to feel a little bit unfriendly to outsiders. Insular.
And the newbies will say, "well, gosh, that's not a very friendly place."
Not just the newbies who got scolded. Also the 100 passers-by who saw the newbies get scolded. Who might have been great members of the community, and who did nothing wrong, but who are not really interested in joining a community that appears to be full of smug jerks.
This is very dangerous. You have to be able to recruit new members to replace the old ones that drift away. The success of the community depends on it.
Now that Stack Exchange is getting to about that age, we're starting to see some warning signs that the community is getting insular.
Don't get me wrong; it's still a remarkably friendly place.
But we have some of our own weird rules, that take a while to figure out. Rules about shopping questions, subjective questions, and "localized" questions. Those are very important rules, but when newbies violate them, we can be somewhat snarky. I did a quick survey and found that about 50% of questions that are closed on Stack Overflow are also accompanied by an unfriendly comment. So it isn't surprising that newbies are turned off.
So we decided to declare the summer of 2012 as The Summer of Love, a.k.a. "The Hunting of the Snark." The goal is simple: to keep Stack Exchange a welcoming, friendly place without lowering our standards. No, you may not ask "plz send me the code" questions, but if you do, we will explain to you, in a friendly and professional way, what you did wrong.
You've probably already seen the first phases of this campaign. To kick it off, Shog9 deleted the "What Stack Overflow is Not" thread on meta.stackoverflow.com, which started out with the best of intentions (indeed it was intended to help newbies come up to speed), but it turned into an accidental factory of unfriendly comments. We've started talking about how to be civil and we'll continue that. And to make everything, you know, scientific, we've started actually measuring friendliness in comments, automatically, using Mechanical Turk. We'll share some astonishing results of that study with you soon.
Don't lose track of the big picture. Stack Exchange works because it's a remarkably good place to get information. Having the correct information always trumps having it in a pretty, perfumed way covered with flowers. If the only person that knows the answer to my question is a remarkable grump and can't give me the answer without insulting my ancestry, I'll probably take the answer and lick my wounds later.
But that's not the choice. The way to get great answers is to get lots of people contributing. The way to get lots of people contributing is to recruit more people to participate on Stack Exchange. The way to recruit more people is to be nice. So being nice is not at odds with getting good answers, it supports getting good answers. And that's why it's important to us.
2012 Stack Overflow Community Moderator Election Begins
Hard to believe it's been only six months since the last moderator election on Stack Overflow…
Remember A Theory of Moderation? It talks about how moderators are the "human exception handlers" on Stack Overflow, elected to deal with those rare situations the normal community moderation can't handle. It also notes:
The most common moderator task is to follow up on flagged posts. Every post contains a small flag link, which anyone with 15 reputation can use.
Over 200K users with at least 15 reputation have accessed Stack Overflow in the past three months. That's a lot of folks able to raise a red flag – and a lot of them do.
With 12 moderators on Stack Overflow, handling the more than 1,300 flags each day has become an increasingly heavy load to bear – so we're looking for a few good men or women willing to step up and help. If you're an experienced, community-minded member of Stack Overflow, willing to devote a bit of time each day to assisting your comrades, visit http://stackoverflow.com/election and nominate yourself.
Of course, needing more moderators is a good problem to have – it means Stack Overflow is thriving, its community able to recognize when a something on the site needs attention. That said, there's something a bit wrong with this many flags going to the exception handlers, when many of them can and should be handled by other trusted members of the community. Last fall we started experimenting with ways of presenting some flags – those most likely to require actions available to ordinary users – to the 10K users first, and forward them only to moderators when unresolved in a reasonable period of time. We'll be expanding this in the next month to put flagging for action (close, delete, re-open, etc.) and voting for action in the same league when it comes to requiring moderator intervention. Stay tuned…
Stack Overflow Meetup Everywhere: April 28, 2012
Last year's Stack Overflow Meetups were a success, with over 2000 people participating around the world. We're happy to announce that the Second Annual Stack Overflow Meetup Day is April 28, 2012.
Because the Stack Exchange network grew so much over 2011, we've decided our Meetup day should grow, too. This year we're calling on every hacker, programmer, or designer in the Stack Exchange tech community to meet up with other users, say hello, and maybe learn something. Whether you're a member of Stack Overflow, Server Fault, Super User, Programmers, Ask Ubuntu, Game Development, or any other technology-themed Stack Exchange site, we want you to be a part of this event.*
Why does this event exist?
Even though we constantly say that Stack Exchange is not a social network, you (the community) share your knowledge and help our sites grow. The community is important, and since we don't have friends lists or private messaging, we want to give the community a chance to get to know each other. But we need your help.
How do I get involved?
Just like last year, we're using Meetup.com to make it easy for users to organize a local face-to-face event – or to join one that someone else has planned. Visit meetup.com/stackoverflow to find your local Stack Overflow MeetUp group. If there is no group in your area, start one! As other people join, you can choose a venue (library, community center, restaurant, etc.) for the event. Those interested in playing a little bit larger role can volunteer to be planners.
If there was a meetup in your community last year, it will be shown in the list on meetup.com/stackoverflow. An event has automatically been created for this year; all you need to do is RVSP and suggest a location.
If you search for your city (or a city near you) and don't see it in the results list, add a new community!
What should my event look like?
Your event can take whatever shape suits your local community. Feeling generous? Plan group volunteering activities. Have a great open-source project you've been working on? Present it! Know someone who loves to talk programming in front of crowds? Ask them to guest speak! Or, plan an Ignite-style event where anyone can present an idea in five minutes or less. The options are endless.
To help you get started planning an event, take a look at what some of our users did last year or hop over to the Worldwide Meetup chat room to trade ideas and stories with other Meetup planners.
What if I'm busy on April 28th?
If you find that you and all the other Stack Exchange techies in your area can't get together on April 28th, that's okay! We don't want you to miss out on the fun, so just pick any other day around the 28th – we don't mind if people celebrate Stack Overflow for a week rather than a day.
How can I help get the word out?
Join your local community (or create a new community location) on meetup.com/stackoverflow. Once you're a member, help us get the rest of the Stack Exchange tech community involved! Use your existing online activity to share details about this event:
- Use the hashtag #SOMeetup on Google Plus, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube when posting about Stack Overflow Meetups
- Post a link to your local Meetup page on Google Plus, Facebook, and Twitter, email the page to your friends, promote in blog posts, on HN, etc
- Use the custom Stack Overflow Meetup widgets
- Get in touch with other existing tech Meetup groups in your area and see if there are Stack Exchange users among them
How will Stack Exchange help?
We're dedicated to the success of these Meetups just as much as you are. We'll be posting more tips here on our blog to make sure you're well-prepared to host an awesome event. We'll put ads on our network to help spread the word, and we'll share event details via our own social media platforms. We'll send door prizes to the groups that build up the biggest following leading up to the Meetup Day. We'll collect your stories, tweets, and photos to share on our blog after the event.
* For those of you who aren't programmers, hackers or designers – fear not! We haven't forgotten you; stay tuned for news of a possible network-wide event later this year.
Respect the community – your own, and others'
In "Why Can't You Have Just One Site?" Jeff wrote about the rationale for creating three sites instead of one, and the process for determining where a question belongs:
Is it really so hard to figure out which community you belong to, and thus, where your question belongs? Ask yourself this:
- what is your job title?
- which community do you consider yourself a part of?
- what are you trying to accomplish?
You can use the same mountain to go downhill really fast on snow — but it's plainly evident to the participant which culture they consider themselves a part of, "skiers" or "snowboarders".
We've since grown from a Trilogy to a network of 84 sites. Our audience is large enough to allow a considerable amount of specialization: Apple, Ubuntu, WordPress and Database Administrators all cover topics that previously belonged on Super User, Stack Overflow or Server Fault. But the same philosophy still applies: before you can decide where to ask, you need to know who to ask. And who you ask will depend (at least in part) on who you are…
That's the philosophy. Putting it into practice creates a few wrinkles: some sites have overlapping communities; some sites are named after their audience, but the name doesn't quite match up to how the community actually sees themselves; in some cases, the community is defined purely by a topic of interest and not any particular occupation or field. These ambiguities lead to some undesirable behaviors:
- Cross posting: technically multi-posting, asking the same question verbatim on different sites without tailoring it to that site's audience.
- Scope Gerrymandering: attempting to micromanage what's on-topic in order to avoid overlap with other sites or simply drive away users seen as undesirable.
- Migration hot potato: kicking a question around from site to site until one of them finally accepts it.
Over time, these conflicts tend to work themselves out: a community may form around a topic or shared interest, but soon develops into something more than that. No one would mistake Ask Ubuntu for Unix and Linux. The types of questions and answers on Programmers or Ask Different will show you at a glance that you're not on Stack Overflow or Super User. Spending a few minutes looking around before you post – or reading the site's FAQ – should tell you all you need to know about what questions belong there, and how the community expects them to be asked. There's no substitute for taking the time to get to know the locals.
With that in mind, here are a few strategies for avoiding these problems as a member of a young Stack Exchange site:
Respecting your own community
As members of a community, your first loyalty should be to that community. When evaluating a question, you shouldn't be looking to push it off on some other site; instead, ask if it could be appropriate and on-topic for you, the experts who the author decided to ask. Be a bit jealous of your site – don't blithely turn askers away simply because their question could be asked somewhere else. Don't hit them over the head with your scope, help them tailor their question to fit into it – and if that means your site's scope overlaps a bit with another site's, so be it.
Obviously, there are questions you'll have to turn away, either because their only connection to your site is via the audience ("How do I make bread as a programmer?"), because it's completely off-topic ("How do I cook a fish in a dishwasher?" obviously belongs on Cooking, not Home Improvement) or because they're simply not useful or constructive. But that should be your last resort. Close questions with an eye toward improvement and re-opening, not driving users away.
Respecting other communities
The migration tool was created to help those unfortunate users who asked good questions on the wrong site. Do your best to remember this, whether as a user (flagging or voting to close) or as a moderator (responding to flags).
- Don't migrate poorly-asked or non-constructive questions. Just close them. If you want to help the asker out by recommending a site where their question would be on-topic, go ahead – but also recommend they read that site's FAQ first!
- Do leave comments on questions that might get better answers somewhere else. The good folks on English Language and Usage might well be able to give the history of some bit of technical jargon, but if you think that question would get a better answer on the site dedicated to the field where that jargon is used – suggest that! If the asker is unhappy with the answers he got, he'll have a ready source of better ones. Ditto for unanswered questions gathering cobwebs.
- Along the same lines, don't attempt to scavenge on-topic questions from other sites by asking the moderators there to migrate them to yours. Again, there's no harm in leaving a comment suggesting that a question would be a better fit somewhere else. But focus on the questions that aren't on-topic, or aren't getting answered – snatching someone's question (or answer) away without any forewarning is a slap in their face.
- Finally, be extremely reluctant to migrate old, answered questions. The votes and answers on these reflect the opinions and work of the community where they originated, and in most cases they'll be somewhat out of place elsewhere – you want your greatest hits to reflect the best that your community has to offer, not someone else's. And, again, the migration can come across as rude: if someone has invested serious effort into an answer and has linked to it on their blog or from their résumé, then snatching it from them without due consideration won't endear them to you. Only migrate these questions when the alternative is deletion.
The Stack Exchange software has grown to be extremely powerful, but it's important to remember that, at their core, these sites run on human beings – and without respect for each other, clever tools solve nothing.
Reputation and Historical Archives
If you've been around Meta Stack Overflow the past few days, you've seen a fair bit of conversation sparked by the recent changes to how reputation is calculated:
To be clear: reputation values are not changing, every action in the system is still worth the same amount. Here's what will be different:
- Your reputation will be correct at all times
- Deletions will have a much more immediate effect on reputation, not waiting on a recalc (but reputation sync takes up to 5 minutes on a delete/undelete action; as to not block the user's response thread, it's offloaded to a background queue)
- Recalcs will no longer be necessary
- Up/Down vote reversals will restore the correct reputation amount
- Up/Down vote reversals will correctly adjust to the reputation cap
- The reputation history in your profile will be more detailed and accurate (e.g. when a post is deleted, you'll see that in the reputation tab of your profile)
This may sound pretty boring – and it is – but it's a big deal for some of our most avid users, for whom that number at the top of the screen is an at-a-glance indicator of how their contributions are faring on the site. Up until now, the reputation visible next to your name on your profile was a rough aproximation of your real reputation – only a recalculation would resolve all the discrepancies that crept in over time.
Unfortunately, we botched what should have been a much-welcomed roll out for this feature. See that last bullet quoted above? The one about deleted posts? Anyone who's been on Stack Overflow for a while has at least a few deleted posts attached to their reputation history, especially those of us who participated early on when exact details of what Stack Overflow is were still being hammered out. Questions that weren't really questions, answers to one of the many polls or Getting To Know You threads that sprung up, things that were reasonably normal at one time but have since been deleted as we've become more focused, or even just information that became obsolete as technologies changed. Deletion is a critical part of the site's question lifecycle – as Jeff wrote recently,
We know that closing the cookie jar is painful. We feel your pain. Nobody likes having their fun taken away. But it's too addictive and too easy, and in the absence of any moderation, the community would do nothing but add and upvote the easy, fun stuff.
And nothing makes you feel that pain quite like reminding you of it with a bright red line every time you visit your profile:
As you can see in that screenshot, there's an actual link to the deleted answer – this is the first time we've made that information available! And the response to it was immediate: folks went through their histories, looked at all the deleted questions and answers, and found a bunch of stuff that, while not strictly compliant with current practices on Stack Overflow, probably shouldn't have been deleted.
In short, fixing one bug (inaccurate reputation history) exposed several others (a flawed deletion process and a lack of respect for important past contributions) and created a new one (humiliating display of reputation on deleted questions).
So after much discussion on Meta Stack Overflow as to how this should be handled, we came up with the following four fixes:
First, if you've contributed something worthwhile to the site, you should keep the reputation for that even if it eventually gets deleted. "Worthwhile" here is defined as,
- A score of 3 or greater
- Visible on the site for at least 60 days
In fast-changing professions, there should be no shame in contributing valuable information just because it eventually goes out of date – and there shouldn't be a penalty for deleting it when it does. Naturally, editing to bring an answer up-to-date is preferable – but if someone else already posted a good answer with current information, you should be able to remove yours and keep the reward for the time it was useful.
Second, we won't display reputation lost to deleted questions on your profile unless you explicitly ask for it, and won't display it at all to other people (apart from moderators). This was an egregious privacy violation, and we sincerely apologize for not catching it sooner.
Third, it should be easier for the community to both delete AND undelete most questions. Previously, it could take hundreds of votes to remove some of these extremely popular questions – that sounds good, but in practice it just meant folks gave up voting and asked moderators to delete for them. Creating more grief for moderators and less democracy was never the intention – from here on out, it will take at least three and at most 10 votes to delete even the most popular questions, and an equivalent number to undelete them.
Last but not least, we're experimenting with ways to keep some of the more useful – or even just fun – questions from the site's history accessible in some way. To be clear: most of these are not great examples of questions that should be asked today… But some of them are, quite frankly, brilliant – and losing them entirely just because they aren't a good fit for our strict Q&A format is wrong. For now, we've provided a "Historical Artifact" lock that completely freezes a question and its answers, preventing all further editing, voting, answering, and flagging. It will also remove it from the usual lists of questions on the site while allowing it to remain fully accessible and visible to everyone with a link to it. At the moment, this is a completely manual and moderator-only feature: depending on how it works out, we'll tweak and expand it as time goes on.
These changes are currently in the process of being tested and rolled out across all sites. Please report any bugs on Meta Stack Overflow.

Major technology companies, stung by poor publicity for having helped the U.S. government access personal data, on Monday issued an open letter to President Barack Obama asking for tighter controls on surveillance.
As part of a global campaign to reform data collection, Google, Facebook, Apple and others said that concerns over national security should be weighed against individual rights.
The letter follows this summer's revelations by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, who leaked details of the secret programs that critics argue violate privacy rights. Intelligence officials argue that the NSA's tactics have helped to disrupt terror attacks and that they've taken care not to routinely look at the content of conversations or messages by American citizens.

Fees & Reservations
Monument Fees
Dinosaur National Monument participates in the congressionally authorized Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act. Under this program, parks keep 80% of all fees collected; the remaining 20% will be deposited in a special account to be used in parks where fees are not collected. Funds generated by the fees are used to accomplish projects the parks have been unable to fund through annual Congressional allocations. Entrance fees help support projects in the monument to improve the experience for visitors. For more information, call (435) 781-7700.
A commercial tour is defined as consisting of one or more persons traveling on an itinerary that has been packaged, priced, or sold for leisure or recreational purposes by an organization that realizes financial gain through the provision of the service. The entry fees of commercial tours are based upon the total capacity of vehicles that can carry seven or more passengers regardless of the actual number of passengers. Possession of an annual or lifetime pass or the ages of the passengers does not affect the price charged unless the vehicle's capacity is less than 7 passengers, excluding the driver.
Forms of Payment
Annual and Lifetime Passes
Non-Commercial Organized Groups: Valid for 7 days.
Fee Free Days
Several days throughout the year have been designated as fee free days at your national parks including Dinosaur National Monument. On these days, entrance fees will not be charged, however, camping and other use fees will still be collected. To find out the fee free days for 2014 visit the Fee Free Days website.
Academic Fee Waivers
Campground fees are waived during the late fall, winter and early spring when water is not available in the campgrounds. The park will resume charging for campgrounds once water service is turned on, usually some time in April or May, depending on location.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Katherine Levy, brandrepublic.com, Thursday, 23 December 2010 12:30PM
In a seven-figure deal, Nikon's sponsorship of the programme will run for a year from 1 January 2011 and will support its Coolpix compact camera range. Nikon previously sponsored the show from May to September this year.
Mobile company Phones 4 U sponsored 'Hollyoaks' from September until the end of this year.
The Coolpix sponsorship will be featured on the weekday show on Channel 4 and E4, as well as the weekly Saturday omnibus on E4.
The focus of the sponsorship is Nikon's Coolpix range, from the Coolpix S3000 to the more premium Coolpix models, which offer performance features for creative photography.
The sponsorship will consist of idents using the strapline "I am Nikon", which aims to convey "the emotions and fun of taking pictures with the Coolpix cameras".
The 10-second idents will include an image of a puppy wearing a blonde wig, with the strapline "I am a beauty queen," and a young man dancing in a club with the strapline "I am a party animal".
Jeremy Gilbert, group marketing manager at Nikon UK, said: "Nikon's sponsorship of 'Hollyoaks' in 2010 proved to be very successful and undoubtedly contributed to a significant rise in market share for our Coolpix products.
"'Hollyoaks' continues to provide Nikon with access to those to whom we are able to communicate the strengths of the Coolpix range. We look forward to promoting our key Coolpix products throughout the campaign."

Digicel Chairman O'Brien calls on internet giants to help pay for broadband in developing world

The Digicel chairman has accused the internet giants of lobbying heavily to ensure they did not have to pay for expanding internet access globally.
12 Internet Predictions For 2012
Business Insider Intelligence's 12 Internet Predictions For 2012:
Google Will Release A $200 Tablet
Amazon's Kindle Fire changed the tablet game, largely thanks to its price, way below the competition; It looks like it's going to be a holiday blockbuster;
Meanwhile, Google is fighting a platform war with Apple and has been humiliated on the tablet front, with high-priced, lower-featured Android tablets getting clobbered by the iPad. The way Google can grab tablet marketshare, which it needs to do, is to imitate Amazon's strategy of selling a radically lower-priced tablet at a loss. And, for the first time, it can do that, since it's in the process of buying tablet-maker Motorola.
Facebook Will Grow Faster Than Anyone Thinks And Hit 1 Billion Users
Facebook already has 800 million users, and many people assume that its growth is hitting a wall, as it reaches dominance in the big developed markets and it's locked out of markets like China and Russia. But, there is still a lot of room for growth in places like South-East Asia, India and Brazil, and Facebook's network effect is a powerful thing.
Facebook is truly global and here are the recent numbers to prove it
According to a just release comScore report, Facebook continues to amass visitors across the globe.

4 Useful Tools Caribbean Musicians can use to access American and European Markets
With the limitations of scale in the Jamaican music market, and the new measure of success moving away from CD sales to more of concert tickets, merchandise and digital downloads, most artists look toward other countries for exposure, fame and yes money. Used to be you needed to be or have a manager based overseas to capitalize on that market, but these days if you're a savvy artist with the Internet, you'll find that you can exploit a host of advantages yourself – and from ya'ad – with the help of a few nifty tools. Here are a few that can help you if you're looking toward the United States for fresh markets, distribution and gig bookings.
1. Facebook
Any of the musicians who stayed behind on MySpace will tell you Facebook is not the best place to be if you're a band. They just don't offer the right tools, but that's easily forgivable when they're offering up the shiny gem of over 600 million users ripe for the picking. And now the new third part applications you can pull in such as reverbnation, the custom pages you can create that showcases your video, audio clips from soundcloud and others. Facebook is evolving into a space where you can build and interact with a fan base on what is touted as a killer marketing ecosystem. Facebook is a great jumping off point for your music. It allows you access to the people who like your music, others who can be introduced to it.
Is MySpace still relevant for musicians?
Since Facebook's explosion in popularity there has been a mass exodus of mostly ordinary users from MySpace while a lot of bands/musicians still maintain and advertise their profiles on the struggling network. Since a large part of the audience has turned their attention elsewhere, is it that bands remain to promote themselves to each other or does MySpace still hold some relevance for the music industry?
I think MySpace had it right when in response to Facebook's boom they created MySpace Music. There are still millions of social networkers who love music and are looking for the best possible interaction with it and MySpace Music offered them the opportunity to "Discover new bands and artists, watch music videos, get tour dates, music, news, other fans, and more." It was a solid move because connecting fans to musicians is something they've always done well, and because Facebook is just not that friendly for musicians or music lovers.

Is Facebook trying to kill Flickr by upgrading our photo experience?
Facebook has made two changes recently that has pretty much place photos more front and centre of the user experience. The new design Facebook Fan Pages have relegated the Wall and Tabs to side bar status, making your photo album top dog in the page layout. It's the same for your member profile page.
On top of that now it has changed how we currently view photos. Now we get an entire photo slide option that's large and beautiful. Why this and why now? Is Facebook trying to kill Flickr by upgrading their users photo uploading, tagging and sharing experience?
Could this be a play to outdo Flickr which leads when it comes to photos? No other social media channel comes to even half as close as Flickr which has 130 million photos uploaded every month. Compare this to "Every day, people add more than 100 million tags to photos" according to Facebook. This is part of the content arsenal which sees 30 billion pieces of content (e.g., links, photos, notes) that are shared on Facebook each month (Source: Royal Pingdom).
387,580 Trinidadians now on Facebook, but Growth Rate Slows
The are 11,000 more Trinidadians on Facebook online today than there was 2 months ago today. As of today, there are 387,580 Trinidadians now on Facebook, compared to 376,580 two months ago. For the latter part of 2010, the growth rate was averaging 10,000 new Trinidadians every 30 days, but it has slowed now to an average of 5,500 new Trinidadians logging on to Facebook every month.

Bread for the World and Link TV Documentary Highlights Innovative Programs that Alleviate Global Hunger
Washington, DC, August 9, 2011
Bread for the World has partnered with independent nonprofit broadcaster Link TV to produce a new television documentary special called "ViewChange: Challenging Hunger," featuring stories that illustrate the importance and success of hunger programs supported by U.S. foreign aid assistance. The program premiers online today at www.bread.org and www.ViewChange.org.
Nearly 1 billion people suffer from chronic hunger. Many Americans believe nearly 25 percent of the U.S. budget goes toward foreign assistance when in fact, less than 1 percent supports crucial foreign assistance programs—including anti-hunger programs and food aid. Innovative programs from aid groups and governments are creating effective new systems for alleviating the problem.
"The percentage of our annual budget that supports foreign assistance is so small, but it is necessary and effective to help to solve the problem of global hunger," said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World. "Supporting innovations and effective solutions to chronic hunger is not just a matter of moral imperative, but it's a matter of national security. During a time of economic downturn around the world, the world's most vulnerable people need this support the most."
The half-hour special highlights the importance of funding for ongoing development and management of programs that provide long-term hunger solutions. Stories include Mexican migrant farmers who are able to stay in their home country rather than travel to the United States illegally to support their families, Ethiopian women helping to supply long-term solutions to hunger and microfinance programs in Bangladesh providing hope for small-scale farmers in drought-prone areas of the world. The show also underscores a little-known connection between illegal or unauthorized immigration and hunger. According to Bread for the World, hunger and poverty are the top factors contributing to unauthorized migration to the United States.
Bread for the World is a member of the "Circle of Protection," a movement of religious leaders urging lawmakers to protect programs that are vital to hungry and poor people. Rev. Beckmann and others met with President Obama last month to urge his administration to protect funding for these essential programs.
ViewChange: Challenging Hunger is part of Link TV's ViewChange.org, a new multimedia website that brings together powerful, evidence-based videos that demonstrate progress in global development and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, along with the latest news and action opportunities for users. The half-hour documentary will broadcast on Link TV Friday, August 12 (7 p.m. EST) and again on Tuesday, August 16 (11 p.m. EST) on DIRECTV Channel 375 and DISH Network Channel 9410.
Link Media, an independent non-commercial company, uses media and the power of stories to engage, inform and inspire its audiences to participate in transformational, sustainable change on issues of global importance.

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 5/7/12
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Manu Ginobili broke out of his shooting slump with 17 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to an 87-81 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night and a sweep of their first-round Western Conference series. Ginobili was 0 for 8 from beyond the arc in the first three games. But after Utah pulled within 61-58 with 3:18 left in the third, he hit consecutive 3-pointers then added another as the Spurs regained control, taking a 76-58 lead early in the fourth. The Jazz went scoreless for more than 8 minutes during a 15-0 Spurs run. Utah made a furious charge late and was within 83-79 on Al Jefferson's putback with 49 seconds left. But Ginobili's fastbreak layup after a steal by Tony Parker sealed it.

Great for layering!
By Kelsey

This top is SO CUTE and the fabric is unbelievably soft! The length is cropped, and the back is pretty open - so definitely consider wearing a tank underneath. The fit is really relaxed so it's a great top for layering over a too-tight tank, if you want that body hugging feel without anything showing! I love it.

I'm looking for books or online resources that go in detail over programming techniques for high performance computing using C++.
practically all HPC code I've heard of is either for solving sytems of linear equations or FFT's. Heres some links to start you off at least in the libraries used:
Even though not FOSS, the Intel IPP and MKL libraries can really save you a lot of time (both in development and at runtime) if you need to perform any of the operations supported by these libraries (e.g.: signal processing, image processing, matrix math). Of course, it depends on your platform whether you can take benefit from them.
(No: I don't work for Intel, but a happy customer of theirs I am.)
The first thing might be reading about MPI(Message Passing Interface) which is the de facto standard in HPC node interconnects.
Check out the Eigen Vector/Matrix library. The api is very elegant, and the resulting programs are blazing fast (due to explicit vectorization for SSE2 architectures)..
The Trilinos suite of libraries and packages offer a broad range of middleware libraries for HPC including sparse, iterative linear solvers; nonlinear solvers; eigen solvers; ODE & DAE integrators including sensitivity analysis; optimization (both invasive and black box); finite element interfaces; mesh interfaces; preconditioners; etc. All of these packages are designed using fairly modern C++ techniques (there are Python APIs as well as some C and Fortran). There used in very large scale parallel (5000+ CPUs) simulations of exceptional consequence (nuclear weapon design) with great success. These packages offer a great suite of capabilities that are much higher level than BLAS, etc.
Despite being 14+ years old, the pioneering work of Expression Templates is still regarded as some of the most exceptional C++ work in years. Fast, efficient, safe... I've used the techniques and they're really remarkable.
Edit: In case the above link remains broken, here's an alternate reference for Expression Templates. This DDJ article cites the original work of Veldhuizen.
Take a look at The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE). It's a library of templates and objects for high performance applications in C++. It has great cross-platform primitives for threading, networking, etc.
No matter what you write, and how much you design for performance from the beginning, chances are pretty good it will benefit from performance tuning. Usually the bigger the program, the more it will benefit. THIS is a simple, effective way to do that tuning. It is based on "deep sampling", a technique that gives accuracy of diagnosis while de-emphasizing measurement.

1990 Ford Aerostar Question: ROUGH IDLE AFTER SMOKE AND SPARKS UNDER DASH DURING A RESTART
I was starting the engine and let of the ignition too soon, turned the key again and when the engine started it was at a rough idle and then smoke and some sparks were seen under the dash somewhere or near the firewall. Now the idle is very rough and while it is drivable, I am 5 hours from home and need to leave on Wednesday morning. Any help would be appreciated very much. - Visitor
Answer 1
i would have this checked immediately. there are plenty of wires around the firewall that are hot. a thurough examination of the harness is required to keep you safe for your ride home. Roy - mastertech6371

The Year Of The GOAT Is Upon Us
Here is something interesting given the answers to Kastor's Korner. TG states that 2013 was locked in over a year ago. So, 2013 was locked in at the latest in October 2011. It is also stated that 2014 has not been locked in yet. However, if 2013 is like 2014, then 2014 should be locked in by now given the schedule. This leads me to wonder when 2014 will be commented upon?
Because Batman is that awesome.
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.

My understanding is that 2014 characters was locked but 2014 b- and c-characters while be replaced by a-list Vintage/PoP/NA/Filmation. That's all. So maybe three or four are so far in, with the rest swapped in. How many will be determined by sub sales.
Regarding castle Grayskull, Scott said Mattel doesn't do playsets anymore not even for Batman. A new Batcave just came out so was this statement in regards to the future of playsets? I think Grayskull and certain other items should sell well but they need the resources. The new turtles sewer is awesome and if more sets were like itmorepeople would but I'in. Once NYCC comes and goes people will be buzzing about CG and it will hit goal. As long as they don't cheap out it will be epic.
I only have the last run of the Batman Returns\Animated Batcave. I kinda always wanted the Kenner original Tim Burton Batcave but I think the one I have is the best version.
Lipster Heroic Warrior
In reality a Greyskull set being greenlit for 2013 speaks volumes as to Mattel's willingness to keep the MOTUC engine going. Granted, fans have to come to the party and support it financially of course, but managements very willingness to consider it is telling. Believe what you will- cynical or optimistic- as to 2014's chances, but I personally feel that 2014 is all but assured for at least the minimal SKU's. Perhaps the elimination of beasts and/or 3-packs, but otherwise at a minimum at least 12 monthly figures plus quarterlies.

Yeah, I've seen that Batcave a few times in stores lately. Not as nifty as the old 1989 Toybiz cave...
I think Grayskull, if even nearly as awesome as I think it'll be, will garner lots of new support.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
The one "I" always wanted was the combo 'wayne manor/Batcave' one... but I was JUST about out of toys when that hit the market :'(
As for 2014... this is no surprise at all. They have gone on record as saying we will not hear anything till SDCC...
the SAME time they announced the 2013 Skus. Seriously... have we EVER known ANYTHING about an upcoming sub... 16 months before the first figure hits?
Mattel knows exactly what's coming... the same as they know what the line up is for 2013.... but they aren't telling us. They like to keep the surprises and let us light up the forums with speculation!
But... YEAH, Castle Grayskull is a GREAT indicator
Last edited by phantom1592; October 2, 2012 at 05:39pm.
TBH I'm thinking if 2014 is scaled back it's a good thing. I'm already commintting to 1 Grayskull, and considering a 2nd, so a one year "break"/slowdown would be nice financially. Afterall once they sell 2014 subs next year, lets say they hit 200% or more, that will mean 2015 SKU's will go back up!
If there's something strange in the neighbourhood, who you gonna' call? HE-MAN!!!!
Slow month, isn't it?
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Mattel: We arent able to make any changes to 2013. It was locked in over a year ago.
Oh good. We're back to this it's been locked in for ages answer for the sub. Funny how when the sub was in trouble and people asked for the lineup to incent, we were told that the Sub hadn't been locked in yet.
Matty, Great Black Wizard figure please!

42 year old woman | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking men 35-48 within 50 miles
Come fly away with me!
I am a looking for a wonderful person to enjoy life with. We always seem so busy in life that we forget to slow down. I would love to be able to walk, play, and dance in the rain instead of running thru it. I am looking for someone who can splash in the puddles with me. I am a mother of 4 of the most amazing children. 19,17,15,13. We spend time together just having fun and enjoying life!! Between making dreams come true, I am currently back in school myself finally finishing up my BBA in legal studies. After 22 years in my industry I have decided for a change. This is a major reason I am trying this. A very wise person told me to slow down and have a little fun. So here I am to slow down and concentrate on me. My thoughts exactly!! Who I am looking for I am not sure. I would like to find him. I love a great conversation, laughing, just enjoying each others company. The next time it rains I would love to play in the rain with you.
