A rare edition of The Beatles' debut U.S. album has gone under the hammer for $15,000 (£9,581).
Introducing... The Beatles hit shelves in America in early 1964, but due to a late release stemming from legal wranglings, it came out just 10 days before their second album Meet The Beatles!, which went on to become a bigger hit.
A rare edition was put up for sale on online auctioning site eBay.com, and a private collector paid big for the rare record, with a winning final bid of almost $14,999 last week (12Jul12).
The album featured classic Beatles tracks such as Twist and Shout and and their debut single Love Me Do.

Science is incapable of supplying answers to ultimate questions about why things exist and what their purpose is.Nicola Cabibbo
Love has a particular trait: it has a task or purpose to fulfill - to abide. By its nature, love is enduring. The Holy Spirit offers our world love that dispels uncertainty; love that overcomes the fear of betrayal; love that carries eternity within; the true love that draws us into a unity that abides!Pope Benedict XVI
He who never looks up to a living God, to a heavenly presence, loses the power of perceiving that presence, and the universe slowly turns into a dead machine, clashing and grinding on, without purpose or end. If the light within us be darkness, how great is that darkness!James Freeman Clarke
Persecutors fear loss of control. Rescuers fear loss of purpose. Rescuers need Victimssomeone to protect or fixto bolster their self-esteem.David Emerald
The more I think about sex, the better it gets. Here we have a purpose in life: Good for the blood circulation, Good for releasing the tension, The root of our reincarnations.Kate Bush
As long as anyone believes that his ideal and purpose is outside him, that it is above the clouds, in the past or in the future, he will go outside himself and seek fulfillment where it cannot be found. He will look for solutions and answers at every point except where they can be foundin himself.Erich Fromm
Art's purpose is to sober and quiet the mind so that it is in accord with what happens.John Milton Cage Jr.

This may be the very first time you hear of the OGT Tablet, but chances are it won't be the last, as this tab is to pack a 188 ppi display (just for comparison's sake, the iPad 2's display features 132 pixels per inch, while the Motorola XOOM's one has 160 ppi), unspecified 1GHz processor and is set to be advertised with the catchy "the world's thinnest Android tablet" tag.
And, jeez, the creators of this tab really want to redefine the meaning of the word "thin" - we can't help but point out it's a wee bit thinner than anything else that has been announced in the tablet market so far - both the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 stand at 0.34, while the OGT Tablet is only 0.27. Impressive.
These things aside, the OGT Tablet will also offer two cameras - a 5MP rear one and a 3MP front-facer, as well as a microSD card slot. Both 3G and Wi-Fi versions of the tab will be available, and you will be able to choose between 32GB and 64GB models.
So far, so good, really. We don't know about you, but we are really waiting for the official announcement of the OGT Tablet.

LDA holds Royal Docks eco-town talks
The London Development Agency (LDA) is understood to be in talks with Newham Council and the Greater London Authority (GLA) about multi-billion-pound plans to turn the Royal Docks into a huge, waterside eco-town
The development agency is in negotiations with developer Ballymore Properties and will be producing a masterplan for the area aimed at housing up to 30,000 people in a mixed-use sustainable development.
The recent demise of plans to develop Silvertown Quays (AJ 28.09.09) has given the LDA the opportunity to make a comprehensive scheme for the regeneration of the area, long tipped to be one of London's hottest redevelopment plots.
The news signifies a potential goldmine for architects and the construction industry, which will be brought into the action once detailed design work for the zero-carbon development around the Royal Albert Dock and a proposed sustainable power source – potentially housed in the abandoned Tate & Lyle warehouse – on the Thames waterfront begin.
A spokesperson for the LDA played down the rumours but said: 'The masterplanning work with Newham is in its early stage… but Royals is part of our wider Green Enterprise District proposal.'
Elsewhere, developer Capco is working with Benoy and Canadian firm Urban Strategies on a huge scheme to build 8,000 homes in a mixed-use development on the 28ha site of the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre.
The land is held by just three parties – Capco, TfL and Hammersemith & Fulham Council – offering an 'extraordinary' and 'fantastic opportunity' according to a spokesperson for the developer, who expects to submit a planning application in the next 12 months.
'We hope it can be a model development creating a place through beautifully designed buildings and that sort of thing needs architects, currently Benoy is on the project but all these things grow and new professionals may need to be added,' said the spokesperson, adding: 'But things are at a very early stage'.
A spokesperson for Newham Council said: 'At present there has not been an application submitted for the Albert Basin site. The council is widely supportive of carbon free development although assesses all application on their individual merit.'

Also, many women don't even find out they're pregnant till around 8 weeks, let alone Feel pregnant.
I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was 14wks (and I WAS having morning sickness; I thought it was the stomach bug that was going around...). Even after finding out it was a boy, seeing him move, hearing his heartbeat at my 15wk ultrasound I still didn't FEEL pregnant. It wasn't till I felt him move at 17wks that I felt pregnant.

Best small Lap dog for House
Hey there . Im considering getting a small house dog to have as a companion. I really Love pugs. What other dogs would people suggest as house dogs. My friend has a yorkshire terrier and when i visited last it ran around in circles for hours. Unreal energy a lovely small dog but something a bit quieter? Would a pug be considered a house dog? I mean you wouldnt really leave a pug or any small house dog out on its own outside at night right?
|25-01-2011, 09:26

Pugs, like any dog, need regular exercise. Our pug is mad in the head so he needs his walks or else he climbs the walls. That may have been the issue with your friends yorkie.
I wouldn't leave any dog outside at night personally, but definitely not a pug. They are very social dogs and would not do well to be left alone like that.
In general, regardless of breed, if you exercise your dog regularly and train them to be obedient and calm, they will be. Any dog can be a quiet companion about the house. Think about how much time that you can commit to this when researching breeds.
Pugs are low energy dogs so a 30-45 min stroll a day is fine for them. If you are more active and like longer walks/runs, maybe a higher energy breed like a springer would be more suitable.

hmmm Yeah i was watching pugs on youtube them seem pretty quiet fellas and that head to the side thing they do is adorable. Im 90% on the pugs going to see one later its 800 quid so ill be breaking open my piggy bank! LOW ENERGY DOG FOR SURE is what im looking for

That seems very fast considering you were only thinking about it in your first post.
Pugs can have alot of health problems dervied from poor breeding, what do you know about this? What questions are you going to ask this breeder? Is the breeder reputable? What kind of a routine is this dog going to have?
Don't be going off what you see on youtube!! If you are really interested in getting a pug then go to some shows, meet some dogs in the flesh, talk to a good breeder and then consider getting one. I really wouldn't buy this breed from Donedeal.
A dog is not something to be bought on a whim. You need to do a bit more research than looking at a pretty dog on the internet.

There are loads of small dogs that would suit you, as long as they are well exercised you wont have a problem of them going mad at home. I have two Yorkies and while one is more hyper they are both quiet in the evenings. Happy to sit on the couch/in front of the fire and snooze.
Just be very careful with the breeder you are going to see, pugs can be difficult to breed hence the large fee but make sure you buy from a repubable breeder.
Where did you find this breeders information if you dont mind me asking?
Others that might suit would be King Charles, Maltese, Bichon etc. Terriers like Yorkies and JRT would be more high energy than other small dogs.

My girlfriend and I have owned a Maltese for nearly two years now. Superb dogs and have completely changed my perception of "small dogs" as I wouldn't have been the biggest fan prior to getting her.
As a rule Maltese dogs can be full of energy and very playful and ours is no exception. But any time you sit down she will always run over and paw at your leg to be picked up so she can sleep on your lap and keep you company. They have great personalities and thankfully very seldom if ever barks which is a plus for me

Couldn't recommend a Shih Tzu enough, we have had plenty of small dogs over the years but this little girl is near human.
Bit troublesome at the start training her to go to the loo outside but a training crate sorted that out.

Why don't you consider a slightly older dog? If you get a pug puppy, you'll have to be prepared to train it and exercise it.
Even small dogs need exercise no matter the breed. A pup will definitely have alot more energy and will be very inquisitive comapared to a dog that is maybe one or two years old.
Rescue centres are teeming with little dogs lookinfgfor homes. The staff there would be able to advise you on their personality and which ones are more suited to a quiet home. Thats something you can't guarentee when you buy a puppy.

Why not go along to some shows,speak to owners,breeders,vets etc and do lots of research before you consider.There was a show near the airport at the weekend for all breeds but Im sure there is another coming up.You may go for a totally different breed than you expected.I wanted another boxer as a second dog and I ended up getting a bichon hahahaha now ye cant get more opposite than that hehe.Id contact the IKC and get numbers of the breed group,the groups for different breeds are mostly very happy to sit and chat about the breeds.Best of luck what ever you get..just remember dont get one on a whim you could have your doggie for the next 12/16 years

A Chihuahua is your answer, I have one and she is the best house dog ever. She is so loveable and enjoys nothing more than to sit on my lap and snuggle up. She is super loyal and doesn't go mad running around the house, she is 2 years old. But be warned they are not good with young children. Make sure if your getting one to get it off a reputable breeder and ask to see it's parents.

Another vote for Shih Tzu. I have one. Normally I'm not a small dog fan, but my fella's such a lovable, cheeky dog and a real character! He's very playful, great with kids, loves his walks. But equally he's just as happy to curl up beside you, like he is now.
They don't need much exercise. a 1.5 mile walk will do, although my dog loves long walks. But they do take a hell of a lot of brushing, and regular trips to the groomer to be clipped if you want to keep them short.
Shih Tzu can be stubborn and difficult to potty-train, so you need to be firm with them. But they are SO worth it in terms of the loyalty, love and companionship they offer! A real little lap dog. Which is of course what they were bred for.

If you don't care for the breed but would just like a small dog with the same energy level as you you can get some gorgeous dogs in rescues, the rescue will match the dog to you plus they will be s/neutered, microchipped, wormed, vacc'd etc. all for a small donation. Most rescues will have some history on the dog too. Win, win situation really!

MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) -- John McCain says the financial bailout making its way through Congress must not include big payouts for irresponsible corporate executives.
At a political rally in Ohio today, the Republican presidential nominee said any solution must include accountability and transparency.
And he said it "must make sure taxpayers' dollars don't line the pockets of executives."
McCain also restated his support for nuclear power in a brief speech after touring Nova Machine Products, which supplies parts to nuclear power plants around the country. He called again for the construction of 45 new nuclear power plants by 2030, both to ease U.S. dependence on foreign oil and to create jobs in the energy sector.

How is the attribute "Trek has a philosophical tone" now in debate when taken into concert? I am not following.
oh okay. I'm eating, watching MSNBC/TNG/the WH Congressional stuff/talking on the phone and posting. figures I got confused.
yes, Trek is philosophical. yes, we agree.
my point is that you can't hold this movie to the standards of the best Trek eps just as you cannot hold the worst trek eps responsible for bringing down the overall quality of Trek. the fact that Trek brings a certain aura of undeniable depth cannot stipulate that ALL Trek be that way. just as Spock's Brain was part of All-Trek (and a guilty pleasure in itself, at least for me), so is this movie.
the best part of this movie is the fact that it promises newer Trek of quality that we BOTH want. and, hopefully, now that this movie has been deemed a general success, we shall get that which we both want.

Talk:Spin structure
|WikiProject Mathematics
|(Rated Start-class, Low-priority)
I'm thinking of breaking off spinc structure into a separate article. After all, it's longer than the section on the spin structure itself, which isn't so strange as it's more complicated/interesting (although there's a lot that one could add to the spin structure section about applications various theories (and exotic stuff like supersymmetry without supersymmetry) and one could talk about various properties of spin manifolds, like the canonical division by two of the first Pontrjagin class which gives Witten's characteristic class, etc ... although I don't know if I know enough about any of these topics to include them myself). Any comments/objections? JarahE 19:41, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- I also think it could use breaking off. The section on spin^c structures should probably be considered a fragment and in need of development. How vague can you get? "A spinc structure is analogous, but uses the spinc group, which is the U(1)-extension of SO(n) built on top of the extension by the cyclic group of order 2 in Spin(n)." What analogy are you using? Which U(1) extension are you talking about? etc. It's too vague. And there are no references. None of the references in this article mention spin^c structures. Rybu
- Well, I found references at least for the definition of spin^c structures. I put in a proper definition (which should really be polished) and mentioned some of the most basic facts. I appended the Gompf reference. It's certainly not the original reference for the concept, but it was one of the easiest ones to find on-line. Who originated the notion of spin^c ? Rybu —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 04:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
This seemed out of place[edit]
I removed the following paragraph, since it certainly didn't belong in the intro, and it may not even belong in the article at all:
- In particle physics the spin statistics theorem implies that the wavefunction of an uncharged fermion is a section an associated vector bundle to a the spin lift of an SO(N) bundle E. Therefore the choice of spin structure is part of the data needed to define the wavefunction, and often needs to be summed over in the partition function. In many physical theories E is the tangent bundle, but for the fermions on the worldvolumes of D-branes in string theory it is the normal bundle.
Silly rabbit 19:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Spin structures are important in particle physics. Particle physics in turn was crucial to the history of spin structures, the name term "spin structure" itself I think owes its origins to particle physics. So the connection between the two I think needs to appear in the article, if not in the introduction, although I agree that the above paragraph is too technical for an introduction. Perhaps a compromise would be a nontechnical sentence in the introduction and then the above paragraph can be put in a particle physics subsection analogous to that in the spin^c section. --JarahE 07:35, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Shall we create a Spin structures in particle physics section (or such-like), and point it out in the intro? Silly rabbit 19:12, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- I vote to keep Spin-c here. Morally, these are just another "kind" of "spin" structures (a propos of spinors). Silly rabbit 21:36, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, so then maybe we should put in a redirect so that people searching for spin^c structures get here? I'm not sure how to do this with the superscript, maybe redirect all of the various ways that people could try to type it? JarahE 12:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
spin^c nonsense[edit]
We have some problems developing in the spin^c part of this article. I think the problem is Sławomir Biały is editing an article that has a less general definition of spin^c structure than he would like. Currently the definition is only for orientable bundles but he seems to be editing for a more general notion of spin^c structure. IMO there's no point in putting in results about a notion of spin^c structure that hasn't been defined in the article. Rybu (talk) 17:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, you're right. I was confused. The Gompf article doesn't appear to give details on the correspondence. The Lawson and Michelsohn text gives a construction in which spinc structures naturally correspond to elements of . It could be that when the obstruction vanishes, this can be put into correspondence with ; however, I believe it has been said somewhere that the correspondence of spinc structures with is not natural. Sławomir Biały (talk) 21:46, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Spin structures (starting with principal bundles)[edit]
You are starting the article Spin structure considering spin structures on vector bundles, but a (classical) spin structure on an oriented Riemannian manifold M is a spin structure on its tangent bundle TM (this is also the definition of spin manifold, see Lawson and Michelson (1989) "Spin Geometry" [page 78 (Spin Structures on Vector Bundles) and page 85 (Spin Manifolds and Spin Cobordism)]. I think is much better to start with a "classical definition" of spin structure, using principal fibre bundle, cf. Thomas Friedrich in "Dirac Operators in Riemannian Geometry" (2000), page 35. This is also the original definition given by A. Haefliger, Sur l'extension du groupe structural d'un espace fibré, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 243 (1956) 558–560. For spin^c structure cf. (again!) Thomas Friedrich page 47. Mgvongoeden 16:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- Lawson, H. Blaine; Michelsohn, Marie-Louise (1989). Spin Geometry. Princeton University Press. ISBN 978-0-691-08542-5.
- Friedrich, Thomas (2000), Dirac Operators in Riemannian Geometry, American Mathematical Society, ISBN 978-0-8218-2055-1
This article is a total train wreck.[edit]
It would be far better to remove this article entirely than to allow the world to see just how bad a Wikipedia article can be.
Better yet, of course, would be to rewrite the first part of the article, at least through the definition of the article's subject. Currently it is virtually incomprehensible, thanks to a vast absence of coherent writing. Can someone expert in the subject matter and in exposition please rewrite at least the first few sentences, the "Introduction", and the definitions of "spin structures", "spin structures on vector bundles", and "spinC structures? That could make this article worth retaining.Daqu (talk) 14:44, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
- The rest of the article is in desperate need of a rewrite as well. It is mentioned that the spinc group [sic!] is "defined" by the exact sequence
0 -> Z2 -> Spinc -> SO(n) x U(1) -> 1,
- which it most certainly is not.
- The group U(1) is mentioned numerous times before someone bothers to explain that it is the same as SO(2) or the circle group.
- Many items are repeated in different contexts as though mentioned for the first time, which is confusing. For example, under Obstruction (before getting to spinc structures) the fact that the second Stiefel-Whitney class is the obstruction to a spin structure is mentioned -- in about four different ways that all say the same thing, as though written by four different people -- all in the same brief paragraph.
- Under Details, an exact sequence of groups is used to get an exact cohomology sequence, which is then ignored in the text that immediately follows.
- Under the section Obstruction (after getting to spinc structures), the obstruction is defined in terms of "the bundle", although spinc structures are said to be defined on manifolds, not particularly on bundles. (Whereas spin structures are defined for bundles, but this is not mentioned for spinc structures.)

I'll be there. It'll be my first organized century, and my first event of any kind in Chicagoland.
Shrinking steadily
I'll be there too, first organized century, although I am shooting to complete one on my own before hand just so I have my timing down.
Look for the old blue Schwinn with the big guy on it, can't really miss me.
Looks like I'll be doing the 50 mile loop with the kids- look for 4 'bents and a 7 y.o. on a teeny orange Gitane road bike all in a row.

Completely forgot about it.
Internal gear hubaholics know no cure. Thank Ja for that!
I will be there.
I'll be there. Woodgrain fixed gear with a Rev-X on the classic century.
I am not the company I keep.
It was a good ride and I had a lot of fun. I didn't get lost once although a few long sections on the major roads were not marked and I felt a little unsure if we were still on the route. I think we went 2 miles one time without a single marking on the road and through 2 dozen stop lights coming out of Waukegan on the way home.
Next year I'm going to grab some real food the first couple of stops. After the second stop there was really nothing but sugary and starchy carbs. Even bananas were few and far between. I can't eat sugar and starch on a ride without crashing/bonking a half hour later. I sure wished I had one of those subs from the first two stops, plus a few power bars which were not to be seen after the second stop either. But if you liked brownies, cookies, and pretzels -or grapes, you had plenty of carb choices to chose from.
But that was my own fault for not loading up on power bars and snagging a turkey sub or two at the breakfast stop and stashing all that in my handlebar bag for lunch & dinner.

It was definitely a great ride, and glad it was my first century. Ran into my 8th grade teacher who has been riding with the Evanston Bike club for a long time I guess, was even the club president for a bit so that was cool.
Here are some pics I took, nothing extreme and I didn't take a lot, but things I felt captured the day.
(Click to enlarge any of the smaller ones)
Coming down Dempster towards Evanston, every car out in the pack I was in traffic with had a bike on it!
Just got my directions and snapped a picture before riding.
Turned down the exposure for this one, BEAUTIFUL morning albeit cold!
Random pic while riding, this was most of the morning. Unfortunately I forgot my remote charger and couldn't charge my phone to take more pics till I got back.
Bike parking at the 1/2 way point, probably a few hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment there. (sorry for the fingers at the bottom!)
And there is Gertrude, I have decided to name my bike after this rider, enjoying the shoreline views at the end. About 3/4 of a mile from the end I ended up with a flat, luckily it was a slow leak so I just pumped it up and rode. The gentleman, Bob, that was riding with me said he would walk it with me if needs be. Great guy and really appreciated the partner when riding, I was solo for the first few hours and that was boring.
I would highly recommend this ride to anyone, I don't know what the food issue was above, but we had subs, bananas and such at every stop. I finished the ride in 6 hours 50 mins rolling time and about 8 hours total time with stops and such. No cramps and felt great afterwards, even today, slightly sore but great.
Took 4 of the kids on the 50 mile loop (13,11,9 and 7)- nice weather and had a great time:

Thats my Litespeed with another friend's Pinarello behind it.
It was a nice ride. Slightly on the cold side, and I felt the return route had a bit too many MUP sections, but it was well supported and positively memorable for me.
HAHA, that's funny!
Actually I was probably still there, I took that pic as soon as I stopped. I think I had the ONLY bike on the century with a kick stand, lol, tree and bush parking became sparse so the kick stand allowed me to put it anywhere I wanted. At Lincoln Park it was sitting right out in the open by the pavilion.
Probably the only bike of it's age on that trek, except maybe the older Raleigh I saw.
IMO, one of the cooler bikes I saw on the century was a steel Cervelo whose rider joined us for a portion of the route back south. It had factory paint but only 2/3 of the frame was painted so it lead me to believe that it was stainless???
After DAGS, I found this sample image on the web:
It's apparently called a Cervelo SuperProdigy.
So refreshing to see amongst the carbon landscape. If anyone sees one of these for sale in a roughly 52.5 top tube, please let me know. This thing was gorgeous!
My Raleigh frame is from 1974, but other than the frameset there isn't anything original. 8-speed, 700c, 105 with Ultegra bar-end shifters.
No kickstand either

Take a long, deep whiff of that aroma and ladle it over your warm fettuccine.
The highlight of my trip was getting to know the iconic woman whom Time once dubbed "Our Lady of the ladle."
The palace, says the Mahawanso, was provided with rich carpets and couches, and "even the ladle of the rice boiler was of gold."
Drop the dumplings into it with a ladle, and let them boil an hour.
Never in his life had he suffered the excruciating or long-drawn-out agony that he experienced as ladle man this night.
Squeeze and press it hard with the ladle, to get out all that remains of the milk.
The men dip in baskets, or maunds, expressly made for this purpose, and ladle out the quivering fish by hundreds into the boats.
The ladle, in the same shape as the cups, is also marked by Warner.
Use no salt but the best ground salt; work out all the butter-milk with a ladle in summer, in winter use clean hands.
When everything is ready, fill the ladle and pour the lead into one of the grooves.

As nearly 60 percent of the city's registered voters cast ballots Tuesday, few problems emerged at the polls, Board of Elections Commissioners Chairwoman Elizabeth Camara said.
But the biggest problem came as no surprise: Voters who haven't been to the polls since before 2011 attempted to cast their ballots only to find out they were in the wrong locations. Those people, Camara said, often sought provisional ballots, though they typically didn't qualify.
"The biggest problem was probably provisional voting and the people not understanding what it was," Camara said.
She said the problem was further exacerbated by observers instructing potential voters to request a provisional ballot if they were told they were in the wrong polling location. Camara said she had to instruct those seeking provisional ballots that if they filled one out and their name was on the polling list at another location, they risked not having their ballot counted. Camara said fewer than five provisional ballots were filled out at each of the city's polling locations.
Camara said many voters also came to the polls Tuesday for the first time since the 2008 presidential election, which caused their names to be dropped from the list of active voters.
With voting fairly brisk throughout the day, Camara said extra ballots were delivered to three precincts as a precaution and to avoid delays in the event ballots ran out.
It appears Fall River will avoid the recount drama that followed the primary election. Camara said the state has set Nov. 21 as the deadline to submit certified results. The two-week extension from Election Day is to allow for the counting of overseas and national write-in ballots, which had to be postmarked by Nov. 6.
Nonbinding commitment
At least one of the nonbinding questions that appeared on some Fall River voters' ballots will get support from their legislator.
State Rep.-elect Alan Silvia said he will follow through with the wording of the ballot question that appeared on 7th Bristol District ballots Tuesday. The question called on the district's representative to vote in favor of a resolution calling on Congress and the president to prevent cuts to items such as Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid; create and protect jobs by investing in manufacturing, education and other industries; and reduce the deficit and redirect military spending to domestic needs.
"I'm supporting that," Silvia said. "I would not want to see those sort of things being cut."
None of the above
While Silvia is giving his support to the nonbinding question in his district, many voters simply decided to not even weigh in on the matter.
According to a precinct-by-precinct breakdown of unofficial results released by city election officials Wednesday, of the 11,981 ballots submitted in the 7th Bristol District, 2,629 did not include a vote on the nonbinding question.
Page 2 of 2 - A similar pattern emerged in the 6th Bristol District, where among the 14,247 ballots submitted by Fall River voters, 2,474 chose not to address the nonbinding question that calls on the district representative to vote in favor of legislation requiring an identification to be shown at the polls.
The nonbinding questions were not the only ones to be left blank by numerous voters.
Of the 30,010 ballots submitted for each of the three statewide questions, 7,523 remained blank when addressing Question 1; 2,971 blank ballots were submitted on Question 2; and 3,903 voters chose not to weigh in on Question 3.
Several voters also chose not to choose between the two Cipollini brothers running for the Governor's Council District 1 seat, with 20 percent of the 29,847 ballots submitted remaining blank on the race.

Awesome boots!
My 9 year old daughter wore these almost every single day to school this winter. That is quite an accomplishment considering she hates to tie shoe laces! These are super cute and functional. Once the boots are on, she is out of the house and that is that. They keep her warm, dry, and in her words, "Oh-em-gee, and they look so cute on me!"

@MISC{Zaslavskiy_phrase-basedstatistical, author = {Mikhail Zaslavskiy and Marc Dymetman and Nicola Cancedda}, title = {Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation as a Traveling Salesman Problem}, year = {}}
An efficient decoding algorithm is a crucial element of any statistical machine translation system. Some researchers have noted certain similarities between SMT decoding and the famous Traveling Salesman Problem; in particular (Knight, 1999) has shown that any TSP instance can be mapped to a sub-case of a word-based SMT model, demonstrating NP-hardness of the decoding task. In this paper, we focus on the reverse mapping, showing that any phrase-based SMT decoding problem can be directly reformulated as a TSP. The transformation is very natural, deepens our understanding of the decoding problem, and allows direct use of any of the powerful existing TSP solvers for SMT decoding. We test our approach on three datasets, and compare a TSP-based decoder to the popular beam-search algorithm. In all cases, our method provides competitive or better performance. 1

While we were playing the 3rd hole, on this same round, I hit to within 2 inches of the cup. Leslie said that has to be the closest you ever came to a hole-in-one. I told her no, because I had gotten to within 1 inch a few years ago at Largo Municipal. Little did I know that 2 holes later, I'd actually get my very first hole-in-one.

Vikrant P. Reddy | January 2, 2013
Shortly before the Christmas holiday, Judge Richard Posner, the influential Reagan appointee on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, made waves with an interesting concurrence in a case styled United States v. Craig. The case itself was relatively simple and decided per curiam. A 46-year-old offender was sentenced to a term that would keep him incarcerated until the age of 96. The sentence comported with the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, and there was no basis for appeal. The three-judge panel swiftly dismissed the appeal and granted the lawyer's Anders motion to withdraw as counsel. As the Wall Street Journal noted, the defendant is "a highly unsympathetic character." (The facts of the case can be read here.)
Nevertheless, Justice Posner took the opportunity to write a concurring opinion urging judges to consider the cost of incarceration when imposing "superlong" rather than "merely very long" sentences on defendants:
"The social costs of imprisonment should in principle be compared with the benefits of imprisonment to the society, consisting mainly of deterrence and incapacitation. A sentencing judge should therefore consider the incremental deterrent and incapacitative effects of a very long sentence compared to a somewhat shorter one. An impressive body of economic research (summarized and extended in David S. Abrams, "The Imprisoner's Dilemma: A Cost Benefit Approach to Incarceration," forthcoming in Iowa Law Review) finds for example that forgoing imprisonment as punishment of criminals whose crimes inflict little harm may save more in costs of imprisonment than the cost in increased crime that it creates. Ours is not a "little crime" case, and not even the defendant suggests that probation would be an appropriate punishment. But it is a lifetime imprisonment case, and the implications for cost, incapacitation, and deterrence create grounds for questioning that length of sentence."
Posner also questioned the effectiveness of "superlong" sentences as deterrents:
"Sentencing judges should try to be realistic about the incremental deterrent effect of extremely long sentences. Even unsophisticated persons tend to discount future costs and benefits. Most people prefer to receive a dollar today than a dollar a year from now, even if that future dollar is certain, and likewise they prefer to pay a dollar a year from now than today. If you face a 50 year sentence rather than a 25 year sentence for some crime you're thinking of committing, you consider it heavier punishment but probably not twice as heavy; every year added to the prospective sentence has a lesser deterrent effect than the preceding year of the sentence because it is added on at the end."
Professor Eugene Volokh highlighted the case on his influential blog, and noting that while he was "inclined to think that there's a very strong retributive case for life imprisonment for this particular defendant," he "agree[s] with Judge Posner that there are real costs to such sentences, and they should indeed generally be saved for situations where there is a powerful imperative for maximum retribution." The full opinion can be read here.

I am new here, and I am from Croatia in Europe. I like so much vintage Sansui audio products from 70ies made in Japan (OK, that is not the same like Japanese car but that is me!).
My father had very nice Japanese car MAZDA 1500, and as I can remember it was made robust, nice (for that time) and it was high quality, because it passed more than 300.000 km without some big malfunction!
OK, that is for beginning from me!

Pippa Middleton speaks!
The typically tight-lipped party planner, 29, recently chatted with the U.K.'s Mail on Sunday to promote her new book, Celebrate. Pippa also opened up about being thrust into the spotlight after her sister, Kate Middleton, 31, married Prince William, 31, in April 2011.
PHOTOS: Pippa Middleton's world-famous figure
"It is a bit startling to achieve global recognition before the age of 30 on account of your sister, your brother-in-law and your bottom," Pippa said. "One day I might be able to make sense of this. In the meantime I think it's fair to say that it has its upside and its downside."
Pippa added, "I certainly have opportunities many can only dream of – but in most ways I'm a typical girl in her 20s trying to forge a career and represent herself in what can sometimes seem rather strange circumstances. I am by nature an optimist so I tend to concentrate on the advantages. One of the most attractive has been the chance to publish Celebrate."
PHOTOS: Pippa Middleton's sophisticated street style
The triathlete hopes her book will give the public an inside look into who she is and what she does for a living. "I know many of you will pick up the book out of nothing more than curiosity," she writes in Celebrate. "I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself."
PHOTOS: Pippa Middleton's best fall looks
"This is my first chance to do that and I've enjoyed every minute of it," she writes. "The book is designed to be a comprehensive guide to home entertaining, based on my experience in my family's business Party Pieces and work for London-based events company Table Talk."
The Mail on Sunday is running 24 pages of excerpts from Celebrate in its You magazine. Further excerpts will appear in next week's issue.
