Double-Testing Waiver Granted
The Office of Public Instruction has been granted a testing waiver from the U.S. Department of Education in order to avoid double-testing of Montana students this school year and to allow schools to smoothly transition to a new statewide assessment in 2015.
The request outlines the following: 1) all Montana students in grades 3-8 and grade 11 will take the full form Smarter Balanced (SBAC) field test with the exception of qualifying students with disabilities, who will take the CRT Alternate assessment; 2) the current Science CRT assessment and Science CRT Alternate will continue to be given to grades 4, 8, and 10; 3) AYP determinations from 2013 will roll forward for 2014; and 4) in the 2014-2015 school year, the new Smarter Balanced assessment as well as the state science assessment will be given to all required grades and be used to determine Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) for all schools.

Waiting For You
- Artists Valentin, Intrinity, Artemil, Syntheticsax, Sergey Alekseev, Ai Takekawa
- Release Date 2013-09-22
- Labels WeRecommendRecords WRR
- Catalog WRR084
WRR proudly presents to you the second single from Sergey Alekseev on WRR, "Waiting For You". This time he has co-operated with Syntheticsax to give some sassy sax vibes to it and also brought along the talented Ai Takekawa on vocals.
On remix duty we have three artists; Valentin, Intrinity and debutant Artemil.
To have this original on the WRR imprint is an honor, I can't stress that enough. Sergey Alekseev & Syntheticsax has together created something so beautiful that when I first heard it I immediately fell in love with it. The happy emotional chords, the beat, the bass line, the oh so beautiful breakdown featuring some majestic saxophone notes by Syntheticsax and topping that all off with the vocals from Ai Takekawa just melts together perfectly. A stunning track by stunning artists and definitely one of the best tunes to date that WRR has ever released.
First up on remix duty is Valentin. Valentin has been with WRR since the very beginning with his WRR002 release and has always and will always be a favorite.
Looking back on everything Valentin has done I must say that this remix is one of his top three remixes ever, if not the best. The way Valentin has used the vocals in this and also the use of Syntheticsax's saxophone playing is plain genius. Add to that some classic Valentin vibes and a great production and you have yourself a remix of master class.
Second we have another fella we're used to see on WRR, Intrinity. Intrinity amazed us big time with his "The Simple Things EP" and has since then just grown bigger and bigger and is know a well known name in the prog house scene. Intrinity has taken "Waiting For You" into a more "space travelling" kind of sound with heavy trance stabs and dreamy synth sounds. The breakdown is a glittery and dreamy one with some very nice cutting and editing of Syntheticsax's work. Another solid remix from one hell of a talented artist.
Last but not least, we have newcomer Artemil. Don't be fooled though. Artemil is no novice (PHW, ESM, Bomba, Nueva) and has certainly not let us down in this assignment.
Artemil has delivered a stripped down remix with the essentials of the original and then twisted it into his own. The stabs, the beat, the atmospheric and melodic feeling to it. It's all there. This fine remix is the perfect closer to this amazing release that we are so proud of to be releasing.
It's a proud moment for WRR and I really hope you enjoy this one as much as I have and will for a long time to come.

Consider the following code:
class MyCustomDescriptor:
def __init__(self,foo):
self._foo = foo
def __call__(self,decorated_method):
# Here's my question... Is there any way to get a reference to the
# type (ClassA or ClassB) here?
return self
def __get__(self,instance,type):
# Clearly at this point I can get the type of the class.
# But it's too late, I would have liked
# to get it back in __call__.
return 10
class ClassA:
def some_value(self): pass
class ClassB:
def some_value(self): pass
The reason I'd like to get a reference to the class is that I'd like to add some static data to the class with the decorated function/method. I realize this is somewhat atypical but for what I'm doing, it would be helpful.
ANSWER - Can't be done. Based on one of the responses below I inspected the stack from within call and was able to get the fully qualified class where the descriptor is being used (ClassA or ClassB in my example). But you can't turn this into a type/class because the type/class is still being parsed (or whatever the right term is in python). In other words, python comes across ClassA and starts parsing it. While parsing it, it comes across the descriptor and invokes init and call on the descriptor. ClassA still hasn't finished getting parsed. Therefore regardless of the fact that you can get a fully qualified module/class name from within call, you can't turn it into a type.

Date of Stay: August, 2013
Beautiful park. Tall pines and green lawns throughout. Sites are gravel. Most full hook-ups are back-in except one pull-through. Many sites are with water and electric only, but mobile pump out is available for $10. Park is meticulously kept and the staff is super friendly. There is a hiking trail and a flowing stream that runs behind the park. Laundry is free but no dryers. However, clothes lines and pins are located at two different locations in the park. We are not dancers but were welcomed by everyone. We stayed here two weeks and will stay here again. This is definitely the nicest park in the Missoula area.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
This is the nicest park we have stayed in since we left Texas! The park is located about 2 miles outside Big Timber MT on the Boulder River, which is the only sound you will hear at night. Grounds are beautiful. Lots of big trees and green lawns. You can fish the river or there are several trout ponds (for a fee). Nice clean laundry room and showers. Super nice staff. The rate reflects Good Sam discount. We will definitely stay there again!

Still hates being in the car. Please help
Comments (6)
I am in the same situtation. Either my older child (14) or myself has to be in the back seat with him and honestly that does not seem to help anymore. I have tried CD, toys, books, and treats but he still screams.
Is it possible that he has motion sickness? Just a thought. My friend in grade school always hated being in the car. It wasn't until she got her own license at 18 (she hated cars THAT much that she waited that long to get her license) that she finally realized it was where she had to sit in the car that caused all of her motion sickness. She even had it when sitting in the front passenger seat. Only when she is control of the vehicle does it dissipate enough for her to be in a car.

Welcome LO 10/29/10
He's generally a great, easy going guy too.....:-/
I share your frustration!
My daughter has HATED the car for a very long time now. Suddenly for whatever reason she seems to be doing better. I play baby einstein dvd's for her which seems to help and keep her occupied. I also pass her snacks as we go. She would literally scream at the top of her lungs almost the entire ride. I tried facing her forward thinking the motion might be affecting her and the screaming was worse so I turned her back around. I left her that way for about a week and then my parents came and I had to face her forward again for us to all fit in the vehicle. For whatever reason the second time around was magical and she's been fine. I wouldn't say she's 100% happy but definitely better. Now her thing is to try and fight me when I try to put her in. One day I hope to just see her crawl in and buckle herself up happily LOL

AF S 23 Bag of Coal Nice American Flyer C889
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Toys, Dolls, Games & Puzzles
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jul 23, 2013
- Channel: Auction House
This lot contains: one cloth bag of coal. Weighs about 1/4 pound. Two small holes in the bag - both are on the left side near the N in NO. and A in artificial. Still a nice bag for display or use with your trains.
This train is sold based on cosmetic condition. If I say they work above it means they operated when test leads were connected to them. The train may not run on track. Due to the age you'll still need to lubricate and clean the motors. These trains are sold as is with the understanding that you will do any work required to to get them into operating condition. If you don't feel confident in your ability to service this item, you would be better served spending more money buying a new train rather than seeking a deal on this used one.
If you're mailing payment, please include the code (begins with "C") in the auction title with your payment.
Link for More items in my other auctions SHIPPING INFORMATION
I ship on Fridays, pay by 9 AM Pacific Time (eBay time) and your item goes out that week. Shipping and Handling cost is listed elsewhere on this page. Factor the shipping cost into your bid amount to determine your purchase cost.
* I will combine items that end on the same day to lower your shipping cost when possible.
* International shipments sent by Airmail letter post.
* Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
* Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
I do flat rate shipping on all my auctions so bidders can factor shipping charges into their bid amounts. For me to adjust the shipping for some bidders gives those bidders an advantage. Sometimes the shipping I collect is higher than the postage on the box, while other times it's lower. Overall when you add in the cost of packing materials and postage, I collect less in postage and handling fees than I spend packing and mailing the packages every month. The only ways to get a discount on shipping is to win more than one auction, or arrange for local pickup and pay cash at time of pickup.
Good Luck Bidding,

Zooey Deschanel, M. Ward, and Winnie the Pooh united in devastating cuteness
As if its empire wasn't vast enough, Disney is making eyes at the Pitchfork-reading crowd with some new soundtracks featuring the likes of Zooey Deschanel, M. Ward, My Morning Jacket, Andrew Bird, and Sondre Lerche.
With the release of the hand-animated (vintage!) Winnie the Pooh set for this Friday, July 15, Gimme Noise received the soundtrack in the mail from Disney Records, and it features none other than Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. To top that off, Pitchfork Media reported that a record dubbed The Green Album (Weezer must be pissed) will be released by Disney on August 23 to support The Muppets, which comes out November 23.
But oh, just wait for the video preview!
Not that there's anything wrong musicians recording some goofy songs for covers compilations or soundtracks, but these two are just plain funny. Everyone already knows that Zooey Deschanel/She & Him make cute pop music, but the Winnie the Pooh soundtrack takes things to stratospheric levels of fluff. Sample lyric:
Winnie the Pooh/ Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff/ He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh/ Willy nilly silly ole bear
It gets better: The YouTube video from Disney below offers a preview of sorts for Deschanel's contribution to the soundtrack. But how did Tigger and Pooh get in there?
The soundtrack for The Muppets actually sounds pretty funny, and right now, Spin is streaming My Morning Jacket's contribution. The band chose "Our World," from the 1977 Muppets Christmas special, "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas."
Still, there's no denying that the line-up for The Green Album is kind of bizarre. You've got MMJ, OK Go, Sondre Lerche, and Andrew Bird, but also the dark punkers from Alkaline Trio and Brandon Saller of the Hot Topic screamers Atreyu. And, the Fray...?
Only time will tell whether Disney's The Green Album trumps Weezer's 2001 return to form, also known as The Green Album.

Why I Encourage My Son To Touch The Hot Stove
When it comes to parenting, sometimes our desire to protect our children actually disables them from experiencing the world in a way that they learn what's best for them. How many times do parents say "Don't do that! That's dangerous!" or some variation of that? These are perhaps the most common phrases among parents of toddlers, and as a result, they become very tired phrases.
It's only natural to want our children to be safe. However, when we look at things from a bird's eye view, sometimes the paradigms that we were raised with won't work if we want our children to be simultaneously safe and empowered. Today I'm going to begin sharing with you some of my thoughts about conscious parenting and what it takes to raise an aware and enabled child.
Much of what I will write is based off of Alfie Kohn's work in Unconditional Parenting, although as it is my interpretation and application of his work, you'll probably find significant differences. I also integrate facets of attachment parenting, unschooling, spirituality, The Diamond Approach, and other modalities… which makes for an interesting and ever changing exploration of parenting.
Today I'm going to start with a principle that is an extension of unschooling. If you haven't heard of unschooling before, then here is what I personally consider it to be:
The experience of learning naturally, in ways that are uniquely suited to a child's unique preferences and interests, and is facilitated through through the experiences of life.
There is no formal learning time nor a specific school because every moment, and every place in the world, is an opportunity for the child to enjoy learning through personal and experiential discovery.
I personally prefer to create an environment in which I don't have to say "No" as frequently as many parents do. It is my desire that my son has as many opportunities to learn through his own experience as possible, so that he can personally discover what is right for him.
The reason for this is that when I tell him "No," I am imposing MY views onto him. I'm telling him what I believe is right for him (or I'm just trying to control him from annoying me somehow), and not giving him an opportunity to find out for himself what is right, or why I might want him to refrain from a particular behavior. Ultimately, this creates a situation where he will usually obey me in my presence, yet when I turn my back, he'll stick his hand in the proverbial cookie jar… or on the hot stove
Right now he's only two and a half, so some of that is inevitable simply by the psychological nature of toddlers. That's perfectly normal as he's exploring his independence and pushing boundaries. However, what happens when those boundaries become dangerous? What if he wants to stick his hand on a hot stove?
Should I let him burn himself? After all, that sure will teach him not to touch hot things anymore! He would learn through his own experience, and though it may scar him, it won't kill him. It's easy to interpret what I'm saying in both of those lights; however, neither one truly expresses nor honors my ultimate goal which is to simultaneously let him learn what is right for him, while also keeping him safe.
Rather than talk theory, I'm going to use this as a concrete example. He has never burned himself on the stove, AND, I don't have to tell him 'No' or 'Don't touch the stove.' Here's why…
When he was about 1 1/2 years old, he became tall enough to reach over the edge of the stove and put his hands on the burner. The first few times, we pulled his hand away to protect him. However, I really didn't want to have to say "No" or scold him for the next year or two while I tried to condition him not to engage in that behavior. When possible, I try to avoid directly conditioning him with my own beliefs.
Instead, I approached the situation two-fold. First, I started turning on the heater intentionally to a point that it would be uncomfortably hot, and at the same time, not burn him. Then, when he would reach for the burner or heating pot, I would simple tell him, "It's hot" and "It will hurt" and that's it.
The first few times, he touched it, pulled his hand away and made a face and sound that showed he really didn't like it. He never cried, and yet, he learned from personal experience a couple of things – he doesn't like touching hot things, and when I say "It's hot" or "It will hurt" it's probably a good idea to trust my wisdom.
Now he still loves to stick his hand on the burner and play with it. He'll get up on a stepping stool, grab burners, and do all sorts of things with them. However, before he does he always places his hand near or over the burner to see if it's hot – and only if it's cool, does he actually play with it.
I never have to say "No" or even worse "I told you so." Instead, I've created an environment where he can explore a usually dangerous situation in a very safe way… in a way that enables him to make decisions for himself, and in a way that can be transferred to other experiences.
Now when I tell him something else is "hot" or it will "hurt" he usually steps away and trusts my guidance.

I am thinking of making one of those "find difference" games that compares two images for five differences to find, but I am having trouble finding decent stock photography to modify. I really like the ones on sites like shutterstock.com and iStockphoto.com, but am I reading the licensing terms correctly? There is a standard and extended license, but based on the restrictions, I would need an extended license because the Flash and free mobile app versions of my game could easily get more than 500k hits, so it would cost over a hundred dollars per photo?! Is that right?
I am willing to pay for royalty free photos, but I need over a hundred and spending more than $10,000 at this time is out of the question. Stock.xchng has a sketchy license agreement for the kind of game I am making. Any ideas?

Love it! I bet he won't do that very often!
It sounds like you're battling his will rather than his everyday behavior. If you've recently started being stronger and following through more (in addition to giving him more freedom to learn from his own choices), he's probably trying to push you to a limit of giving in and saying, "Okay okay! I don't want you to get cold." Remember that being cold never hurt anyone (except for hypothermia in extreme cases, lol!).
I think he's really starting to notice your tactics. It seems like incredibly good news to me. Once you get past the battle of wills, and he realizes that you are determined to not give in, the behavior will follow, I bet!

That's the one over-arching principle that is the scariest. The best way to be a good parent is to BE the person you wish them to become. It's fine to tell your kids to not cuss and provide all of the boundaries and punishments to enforce it, but if they hear you cuss, they will cuss every time they know they are out of ear shot. Such a challenge, to actually become a better person so you can be a better parent.

The United States' biggest banks—the ones that were "too big to fail" during the financial meltdown they helped to cause—have grown even larger since the crisis. The Wall Street reforms of the Dodd-Frank Act, critics argue, clearly aren't working.
That might be the case, but the real story is a little more complex. Assets at the seven biggest banks like Bank of America, Citibank, and JP Morgan Chase (which all have assets over $500 billion), have grown about 3% from the second quarter of 2010 when Dodd-Frank passed to the end of 2012, according to data from strategy firm Hamilton Place Strategies (HPS).
But the real winners over the same time period have been the 18 medium-large banks with $100-$500 billion under management—companies like Ally Financial, TD Bank, and PNC Financial Services Group—which have grown by 70%. They've also increased their market share from 13% to 19%—at the expense of their bigger competitors. Banks with $1 to $100 billion in assets also saw gains.
"These are mostly regional players, maybe entering the national market," says Patrick Sims, who directs policy research at HPS. He ties this directly to the impact of Dodd-Frank. "Because of regulation there's more growth coming in at the middle, and that's because of scale."
Although the biggest regulatory hammer falls on financial institutions with $50 billion or more in assets, banks of all sizes must adhere to more in-depth reporting requirements—which incurs bigger lawyer fees. Medium-sized banks are in the sweet spot—big enough to absorb the costs of regulatory compliance, but not so big that they attract intense attention like the seven biggest banks.
As we wrote last week, the clear losers are the banks at the very bottom of the size scale with assets of less than $1 billion, which have seen assets shrink by 8% because they're too small to handle compliance costs.

Pet Airways is not in service at this time.
I happily admit that my favorite travel mates are my dogs, Chipper and Cleo. All I have to say is, "Do you want to go…." and before I can finish my sentence, they are prancing and heading for their leashes. They are always ready to sniff out new places.
We have boarded pet airlines to make trips across the country and hopped in my SUV to travel throughout the West. We look forward to flying soon on Pet Airways to visit more pet-friendly destinations coast to coast.
But as many of you realize, healthy habits – like eating nutritious foods or daily workouts – can sometimes fall by the wayside when you embark on a trip. It doesn't have to be this way. You and your dog can stay fit and eat smart during your travels.
Let me share some "keep fit" tips I've learned during my recent travels with my dogs that have included book tours and pet-welcoming speaking engagements from California to New York:
Final advice: Places across the country are starting to recognize that dogs do make great workout buddies and are starting to offer classes. I attended a session in San Diego with my dog, Chipper that is called Leash Your Fitness. I also recently toured a large dog fitness training center in Fredericksburg, Va. Called Pup'n Iron. Wherever you travel with your dog, remember to workout at least 30 minutes a day. You will discover a healthy new meaning for the expression, dog tired.

Physicians Formula Shares Tank on Loss
(FACE) swung to a loss in the first quarter, nearly halving shares in morning trading -- and there could be more bad news on the horizon as one of its biggest retailer plans to discontinue products. Shares massively tanked by 47% to $1.88 in morning trading, as the company recorded a loss of $1.7 million or 13 cents a share, from a profit of $5 million, or 36 cents, in the year-ago period.Sales fell 53% to $20.2 million from $42.7 million last year, hurt by tighter inventory controls and consumers paring down spending. In April, one of the company's largest retailers -- which accounted for 16% of gross sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008 -- said it would discontinue selling products in 2010. The discontinuation will begin negatively impacting sales in the second quarter of 2009, as the retailer has already begun reducing its inventory levels of products. Rivals Estee Lauder (EL - Get Report), Revlon (REV - Get Report) and Bare Escentuals (BARE) all beat expectations, while Avon Products actually missed targets.Physicians Formula

Jul 28, 2012 | 01:49 PM EDT
(MRK), you are being paid to wait for new drugs to kick in as the yields are well above average. Other companies such as Abbott Labs (ABT) and Covidien (COV) -- two terrific companies -- are breaking into pieces to bring out value. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) could easily adopt a breaking-up-is-easy-to-do strategy like Abbott and Covidien and create a gigantic spike for patient investors now that a new CEO is in place. But what I like best about owning pharma is growth, pure growth based on new potential blockbuster drugs that can give you multiple years of growth. That's what Gilead, Amgen and Celgene are giving you and that explains these terrific gains. Amgen's talking about some breakthrough products that can attack gastric tumors and ovarian cancer and anti-bad cholesterol statins that can work in cases where all others have failed. It doesn't hurt that the core businesses, including its older drugs like Epogen and Enbrel, were responsible for a delicious upside earnings surprise. Gilead's got a terrific potential hepatitis C franchise that could be worth billions and billions of dollars starting in 2014. The company paid a fortune for Pharmasset, which has what many people believe is the best compound for hep C, and it didn't destroy earnings, In fact, they were much better than expected. Celgene? What can I say? People prematurely wrote off this company when it had a problem with a European application for extended use of Revlimid, its breakthrough anti-multiple myeloma drug. But I am confident that the franchise remains intact and the number of initiatives this company has in the pipeline could lead to multiple years of earnings upside. Given the terrific profits just reported -- again, much better than expected -- Celgene remains an inexpensive stock with multiple years of growth ahead of it. You know I like dividends. You know I don't like expensive stocks that could run into real air pockets if anything, any one drug prospect, goes awry. But these three companies have proven themselves time and again, and while they certainly aren't for the squeamish, only they, and not Merck or Pfizer or even Abbott Labs, can deliver the kind of long-term growth that will produce capital gains for years and years to come. These companies are the risk takers. They are not afraid to make mistakes. They innovate relentlessly. They spend fortunes developing new drugs and they remind me of the old-line pharma companies we have right now in their formative, pre-patent-cliff years, where all the really big money was made.

Each week, Football Outsiders takes a look at every game on the NFL schedule with a mix of interesting numbers and in-depth statistical analysis. Much of the analysis is based on DVOA, which takes every single play during the season and compares it to the league average based on situation and opponent. DVOA and Football Outsiders' other advanced stats are explained here.
All times Eastern
Saints at Panthers, 1 p.m.
Carolina has lost six straight home games, and if New Orleans builds a big lead early, the total should reach seven. The Panthers' defense is the worst in the NFL when trailing by at least a touchdown, and the offense isn't much better (25th).
Carolina's Steve Smith is on pace for his lowest per-game receiving totals since 2002, but he could have a big day against the Saints' secondary. New Orleans is the league's worst defense against No. 1 receivers.
• More Saints-Panthers: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Bills at Jaguars, 1 p.m.
Buffalo's offense ranks 19th on first or second down but 30th on third or fourth down. Jacksonville's defense is 19th on first or second down but seventh on third or fourth down.
One of the quieter trends in the league this year has been Jacksonville's move to a faster, more pass-based offense. Last year, Jacksonville's offense had the slowest situation-neutral pace of any NFL offense since 1998. This year, the Jaguars don't even have one of the 10 slowest offenses in the league -- but Buffalo does. The Bills are the league's slowest team in the first half and rank third in situation-neutral pace.
• More Bills-Jaguars: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Raiders at Chiefs, 1 p.m.
Something has to give: the Raiders are last in the league against the run, and the Chiefs own the worst rushing offense.
Kansas City's Dwayne Bowe leads all rookie wideouts in DVOA, but no team defends No. 1 receivers better than Oakland. If Bowe can't get open, Eddie Kennison could benefit; the Raiders are 31st against No. 2 receivers.
• More Raiders-Chiefs: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Seahawks at Rams, 1 p.m.
Seattle's offense ranks third in the NFL in situation-neutral pace, behind New Orleans and Indianapolis.
Seattle has the best defense in the NFL between the 40-yard lines.
No. 1 receiver Torry Holt has a catch rate of 66 percent, No. 2 receiver Isaac Bruce has a catch rate of 57 percent, and No. 3 receiver Drew Bennett has a catch rate of just 48 percent. (The NFL average for wide receivers is 58 percent.)
• More Seahawks-Rams: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Titans at Bengals, 1 p.m.
The Titans are near the top of the league in almost every defensive measure this year, but they are just average against No. 2 wideouts. The Bengals, of course, have one of the top No. 2 receivers in the NFL, T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Rudi Johnson has the lowest DVOA of any running back with at least 70 carries. Kenny Watson, behind the same offensive line, ranks sixth out of 47 backs.
• More Titans-Bengals: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Redskins at Buccaneers, 1 p.m.
Washington had the second-best defensive DVOA in the NFL through Week 7. Since Week 8, only Cincinnati and New Orleans have been worse on defense. (Yes, these numbers are adjusted for having to face the Patriots juggernaut and the T.O. Show.)
Washington quarterback Jason Campbell might have trouble getting the ball to his favorite target, tight end Chris Cooley. Tampa Bay defends tight ends better than any team in the NFL.
• More Redskins-Bucs: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Vikings at Giants, 1 p.m.
Do you like old-fashioned teams that pound the rock and stop the run? This is the game for you. Minnesota has the league's best run defense, and on offense, the Vikings' running game (fourth) is far better than their passing game (23rd). The Giants rank seventh in run defense, and on offense, their running game (fifth) is far better than their passing game (20th).
The Vikings will want to run as much as possible to keep the Giants' great defensive ends away from Tarvaris Jackson. The Giants lead the league in sacks, and are third in Adjusted Sack Rate. Nine offenses have more sacks than Minnesota, but the Vikings are 29th in Adjusted Sack Rate because only Buffalo has thrown fewer passes.
• More Vikings-Giants: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Texans at Browns, 1 p.m.
If you like wild fourth-quarter shootouts, this is the game for you. Houston and Cleveland are two of the slowest starting offenses in the league, but both are in the top five in fourth-quarter DVOA. Both defenses are among the NFL's worst in late and close situations (second half, score within a touchdown).
The difference between these teams could come down to special teams. Cleveland ranks first in special teams, and Joshua Cribbs is the NFL's best kick returner, accounting for 29.4 points worth of field position. Houston's special teams are fairly average, although Kris Brown has had a good year kicking field goals.
• More Texans-Browns: Intel Report | EA Simulation
49ers at Cardinals, 4:05 p.m.
San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis wants to get more involved in the offense, but that will be tough against the Cardinals, who rank third in the NFL defending passes to opposing tight ends.
Davis is catching only 59 percent of intended passes -- far below the league average for tight ends, which is 67 percent. Even worse, second tight end Delanie Walker has caught only 35 percent of intended passes. No other tight end with more than 10 passes has a catch rate below 50 percent.
Teams often have a high number of penalties because the crews assigned to their games tend to throw more flags, not because those teams tend to break the rules more often. Arizona seems to be a good example of this; they lead the league with 102 penalties, but they are also third with 86 penalties called against their opponents.

Ravens at Chargers, 4:15 p.m.
Bart Scott makes his average run tackle 1.4 yards after the line of scrimmage, closer than any other linebacker in the league with at least 20 run tackles. The Ravens also have the linebackers who rank second and third in this stat: Jarret Johnson and Terrell Suggs.
Just seven quarterbacks with more than 75 pass attempts have a lower DVOA than Baltimore's Steve McNair. One of those players is Kyle Boller. Meanwhile, despite all his struggles, San Diego's Philip Rivers has an above-average DVOA rating this season.
• More Ravens-Chargers: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Broncos at Bears, 4:15 p.m.
The Broncos rank fifth in the NFL in the percentage of their rushing yards that come more than 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. The Bears have given up more rushing yards on double-digit runs than any other defense.
Denver has the league's best offense this year in third-and-long situations. (Chicago's defense ranks 13th.)
• More Broncos-Bears: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Eagles at Patriots, 8:15 p.m.
No offense is worse in third-and-long DVOA than Philadelphia's, and no team is better in third-and-short. New England's defense ranks second in both situations.
If the Eagles can keep the score within a touchdown in the second half, they may have a chance; their offense is sixth in close and late situations. Of course, the Patriots' average margin of victory is 25.4 points, and only one game was decided by fewer than 17 points.
• More Eagles-Patriots: Intel Report | EA Simulation
Dolphins at Steelers, 8:30 p.m. (Monday, ESPN)
The Steelers have won 12 consecutive home games on Monday night, dating back to 1991. Their offense is fourth in the NFL in DVOA at home, but 20th in DVOA on the road.
Miami's defense ranked 31st in the NFL through Week 7. In the last four weeks, it ranks 12th. Strange as it sounds, the one difference seems to be at middle linebacker, where perennial All-Pro Zach Thomas has sat out the last three games with concussion symptoms and was replaced in the starting lineup by Derrick Pope.

(By Balaseshan) Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners Inc. (NASDAQ:CPRX) said it has priced an underwritten offering of 6 million units at $0.80 per unit, a 8% discount to Wednesday's close. Following the news, the stock touched a new 52-week low.
Each unit consists of one share of its common stock and a warrant to purchase up to one share of its common stock. The warrants will have a 5-year term and an exercise price equal to $1.04 per share.
Catalyst expects to receive net proceeds of about $4.0 million (not including any cash proceeds from a future exercise of the warrants), after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses.
[Related -Volatile, Consolidation Session]
Catalyst Pharmaceutical anticipates the offering to close on May 30, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.
The proceeds of this offering will be used to fund the activities necessary to support the submission of an NDA for CPP-109 for FDA approval and to begin to prepare for the commercial launch of CPP-109, assuming that the data from the currently ongoing Phase 2b trial are compelling and the FDA accepts an NDA submitted by Catalyst for CPP-109 based on the data from the Phase 2b trial.
The proceeds will also be used to manufacture sufficient CPP-115 for use in one or more future safety and/or proof-of-concept studies of CPP-115, and for general corporate purposes.
Cowen and Company, LLC is acting as sole book-running manager for the offering. ROTH Capital Partners is serving as a co-manager.
[Related -Another Negative Day For The Market]
Catalyst has two products in development, CPP-109 and CPP-115, and is currently evaluating its lead product and first-in-class GABA aminotransferase inhibitor candidate, CPP-109, in a Phase 2b study for the treatment of cocaine addiction.
Catalyst also expects to evaluate CPP-109 for the treatment of other addictions. The company anticipates to develop CPP-115 for addiction, epilepsy (initially infantile spasms) and other CNS indications.
CPP-109 and CPP-115 have been granted "Fast Track" status by the FDA for the treatment of cocaine addiction. CPP-115 has been granted U.S. orphan drug designation for the treatment of infantile spasms by the FDA and has been granted EU medicinal product designation for the treatment of West Syndrome by the European Commission.

The three Seattle police officers disciplined for telling two suspected gang members during a traffic stop last year that they would "skull-fuck you and drag you down the street" and "break your fucking neck" objected to their weeks-long suspensions on the grounds that they used the uncouth language as a way to "de-escalate the situation." Other officers have stated publicly that the suspensions are too harsh, and tantamount to "time off for swearing." But not surprisingly, the SPD officers aren't the first cops to be given an extended vacation for uttering a few cuss words in the line of duty. How does other cops' use of profanity compare to that of Seattle's finest?
Image source
Eugene Trincher, 16, says that during a traffic stop on July 1, Ferrara called him a "foreign piece of s---," and said he would "call the Russian embassy to get (his) f------ ass deported."
Ferrara pulled Trincher over after a lifeguard reported that the boy was driving recklessly on the beach.
"Everybody was there when (Ferrara) said 'if (you) eyeball me one more time, I will beat the s--- out of you until you are puking blood'," Trincher said.
Three Austin police officers have been suspended for telling dirty jokes and making sexual comments in front of a female co-worker and must attend any training or counseling a department psychologist recommends.
Two of the officers also viewed Internet pornography that included nude photos of actresses such as Pamela Anderson and a naked obese woman, according to their attorney and disciplinary memos obtained Wednesday.
"It was basically a situation where there was a locker room-type atmosphere," lawyer Jamie Balagia said.
Police Chief Stan Knee suspended officer William Monte for 42 days, officer Jesse Sanchez for 30 days and officer Duane Williams for 18 days. The unpaid suspensions began July 9.
And last year in Gainesville, Florida:
An Alachua County detention officer has been suspended without pay for five days as part of his discipline for a profanity-laced tirade inside a Gainesville restaurant that was recorded in a 911 call . . .
. . . According to the internal investigation released Tuesday morning, Jon Huckstep walked through the unlocked lobby doors into the Burger King at 6123 W. Newberry Road at about 2:15 a.m. on Dec. 5, 2009. A Burger King employee, Antonio Latrelle Williams, told Huckstep that the lobby was closed but Huckstep ignored Williams and continued walking to the men's restroom at the back of the restaurant.
During the incident, Williams dialed 911 to complain about Huckstep. During the recorded call, investigators said they could hear Huckstep in the background angrily shouting obscenities. During the recording, investigators said Huckstep could also be heard making statements apparently directed toward Williams such as "You're going to jail."
And another dust-up in Murfreesboro, Tennessee:
Supervisors recommended Murfreesboro Police's highest-ranking black police officer be suspended without pay for 10 days and placed on probation one year for making racial slurs for the second time in 16 months.
Capt. Carl Watkins was taped making the racial slurs and cursing in uniform while getting his hair cut at New Reflections Barber and Hair Styling Shop July 24 at 331 E. State St. He supervises the traffic and special services divisions at the police department.
On July 24, David and fellow barber Mitchell Broyles concealed a camcorder inside a box just moments before Watkins entered to get his hair cut. Watkins was in uniform. David left the shop.
During the 39-minute and 24-second taped conversation, Watkins apparently referred to David as a "red n---a" because of his complexion and accused him of being the "worst dope seller 'cause he talk too much."In his statement, Watkins stated he probably did call David a "red n---a" to fit the barbershop atmosphere and to get more information from Broyles, who also used the term.
The three Seattle officers were suspended for 20 and 15 days, respectively, for their unbecoming conduct. Compare that to one day for the Florida "beat the s--- out of you until you are puking blood" comment, and it does seem a bit harsh. Then again, the Bradenton cops probably weren't under federal review at the time.

I'm just interested to get an idea of where people fall on the issue of dreams.
Do you think that people's dreams reflect real, conscious or subconscious ideas and emotions? Or do you feel it's just random firing of neurons?
If you had a dream about doing something you shouldn't, would it give you pause? If you had a dream about doing something you should, would it encourage you to do it in reality?

I try to find articles, books or anything about programming without jumps (x86 arch). I know that generally it is impossible but I try to avoid jumps but gcc even with inline func uses jumps many times. Coding only in Assembly is some sort of solution, but writing equivalent of 1000 lines in C is like hell party to my eyes..
Unless your jumps are really random, branch prediction should eliminate most of overhead involved.
I would dedicate more effort to optimizing memory access patterns in order to improve locality and reduce cache misses. These days, memory latency is the major bottleneck to performance.
Another good direction is improving parallelism (using both vectorized SIMD instructions and, if possible, more than one core).
Optimize only performance critical code, and only once you really know it is performance critical. Do not try to optimize jumps only because you read they case a performance hit. Everything causes a performance hit, and the fastest possible code is the code which does nothing. There are other things much worse than jumps.
If you will show a particular example of a jump in the generated code, chance is there will be some way to avoid it, but it is more likely the code you will show will still contain more serious issues.
One particular way how to avoid branches is to use "conditional move" instructions. They can be used e.g. to compute max or min. If you allow the compiler to use SSE architecture, it assumes the CPU also supports CMOV/FCOMI/FCOMIP/FUCOMI/FUCOMIP instructions and will use them (beware: sometimes it may be tricky to make the compiler to do what you want, see e.g. this gamedev.net discussion).
I think you may mean branching. In C there are bit twiddling tricks to use to speed up certain operations
See bit hacks:
It is not impossible to code without jumps but it seems pointless to try.
In the end if you need to do something more than once then your choices are:
The first approach requiers knowing the number of iterations in advance and doesn't scale and the second involves some sort of jump.
Not knowing what your code looks like, it's hard to give any advice. But I will give it a try.
Before you start optimizing, run a profiling tool to locate the problem areas. After optimizing, run the profiling tool again to see if you actually made it faster.
It's hard to actually remove branches, but you can minimize them by doing loop unrolling.
Someone mentioned conditional move instructions, there's plenty of conditional instructions on the ARM architecture, but if they're not executed they will translate to a NOP and take one cycle each. Not sure how they work on x86. It might actually get slower then using a simple branch depending on how long the pipeline is.
There's a lot of other optimizing tricks you could try before removing branches.
