On December 9, 2015, DreamHost disabled admin users on VPS machines (private servers). For details of why this was done, please review the following article:
If you still require sudo/admin access, you must upgrade to a Dedicated server.

A php.ini file is a simple text file that allows you to adjust your PHP settings. For example, the server comes with a few default settings such as a PHP memory_limit of 90MB. Other limits that are often changed are for PHP execution time and upload size. This article walks you through how to set up a php.ini (phprc) file and add your custom adjustments.
|The standard term for this file is php.ini. However, as of PHP 5.3, DreamHost uses a "phprc" file instead. This acts the same way – only the name is different. In this article, only the term phprc is used.
Determine which PHP version your website uses
Before you create a phprc file, you'll need to know which version of PHP your site is running. The PHP version for each site is displayed on the (Panel > 'Domains' > 'Manage Domains') page.
- You'll see the version assigned to any domain to the right under the 'Web Hosting' column:
DreamHost pre-installs the following versions of PHP on its servers:
- PHP 5.6 - The latest version of PHP that DreamHost has to offer. Allows for settings to be customized in the same way as PHP 5.3 through 5.5.
- PHP 5.5 - A widely supported version of PHP.
- PHP 5.4 - Soon to be End-Of-Lifed.
- PHP 5.3 - Officially End-Of-Lifed by php.net as of August 14th, 2014.
- PHP 5.2 or older versions No longer supported and installed on the shared hosting platform.
Your website may require a specific PHP version. Some PHP modules exist for 5.2 but not 5.3, such as Zend Optimizer. Some plugins or other parts of your website application may only work with a specific PHP version. You may even notice error messages or deprecated warnings on your site if the code is out of date.
How to add a phprc file
You can create a phprc file using an FTP client, or by logging into the server via SSH. Since creating a phprc file is simpler through an FTP client, these steps are covered first.
Adding a phprc file through Filezilla
- Log into your web server via FTP. Visit the following article for detailed instructions:
- Make sure you're in your user's directory.
- You can see this in Filezilla in the 'Remote site:' field. It will say "/home/username".
- In the users directory, right-click your mouse and select Create directory.
- Name this directory .php. Make sure you add the period at the beginning of this folder name or it will not work. If you can't see this directory, visit the following article on how to enable hidden files:
- Click into this new .php directory, and then create another directory.
- Create a folder named '5.6'.
- The name of this directory is the version of PHP you're using. In this example the site is running PHP 5.6.
- Click into this 5.6 folder, and then right-click and choose Create new file.
- Name the new file 'phprc'. DO NOT add a file extension, as the phprc file should never have an extension.
- Right-click on the phprc file, and then choose View/Edit.
- A default text editor opens for you to add your customizations. These examples are very general – adjust as needed for your site.
- When you try to save this file in Filezilla, the following popup box opens.
- Check the box which says 'Finish editing and delete local file', and then click the Yes button to save.
The phprc file is created on your web server for any domains under this specific username using this specific version of PHP.
Adding a phprc file via SSH
- Log into your server via SSH. Visit the following article for instructions on how to do this based on which operating system you're using:
- Make sure you're in your users directory by typing in 'pwd' to confirm:
[servername]$ pwd /home/example_username
- Run the following command:
[servername]$ mkdir -p ~/.php/5.6
- Change your directory into these two new folders you just created, by running the following:
[servername]$ cd .php/5.6
- When you run pwd, you now see the entire filepath you just created:
[servername]$ pwd /home/example_username/.php/5.6
- In this folder, create the phprc file without an extension.
Note: There are a few programs you can run to create this file. This example uses a program called nano.
- Run the following to create the phprc file.
[servername]$ nano phprc
- A text editor pops up.
- In the editor, enter all the PHP customizations.
- When finished, press CTRL + X on your keyboard.
- You are prompted to save the file.
- Type in the letter y to confirm, and then click the Enter button to save.
The phprc file is created on your web server for any domains under this specific username using this specific version of PHP.
Customization options
The examples above explain how to add a phprc file with some basic contents. This section goes a little further into what you can add to this file.
|Some variables (in particular,
post_max_size and
upload_max_filesize) are subject to internal limitations; increasing them significantly beyond the default values will not work correctly and will cause issues with your site.
Error logging
By default, DreamHost does not log PHP errors. However, you can enable PHP error logging through your phprc file. Enabling PHP error logging is a simple step that allows easier diagnosis of problems with your website:
To enable:
- Add these lines to your phprc file:
log_errors = 1 error_log = /home/username/php.log
- Replace username with your SHELL user.
Increasing the filesize upload limit
The default size limit for uploading files is 64MB, which may be far too small for your needs.
To increase that limit to 100MB, use the following directives:
upload_max_filesize = 100M post_max_size = 105M max_execution_time = 500 max_input_time = 500
|To upload large files, post_max_size should be larger than upload_max_filesize.
Increasing the PHP memory limit
|If you find you're increasing the memory a large amount, it's time to consider moving off of shared hosting, as your website has greater needs than shared hosting can reliably provide.
The default memory limit is 90M and this is usually more than sufficient for most needs.
If you wish to increase this limit, you'll want to add the following:
memory_limit = 128M
Using PHP loaders (ZendGuard Loader, IonCube Loader, and so on)
PHP Loaders are extensions to PHP which load special types of PHP files. You must modify your phprc file to activate the loader required by your special PHP files.
Below are links to pages that provide further instructions on installing and using the various PHP loaders:
Loading PHP extensions
Depending on which version of PHP you choose to use, you may notice certain extensions are not enabled by default (for example, phar).
To load an extension, add the following line your phprc file:
extension = phar.so
Compiling PHP extensions
Visit the following links for a list of available extensions:
|If any installation requires sudo privileges, you must upgrade to a VPS or Dedicated server.
If any installation requires you to run 'phpize', just specify the full path to your desired version of PHP. For example:
Adding global custom changes on a Dedicated server
If you have a Dedicated server it's also possible to set a single php.ini file for the entire server, rather than set them up individually as explained above.
The following steps walk you through how to enable this.
|If you still have a custom phprc file setup under your user, this will override the global php.ini file for that specific user for the version of PHP for which the custom phprc file was created.
- Log into your server using your admin user. You can create an admin user at (Panel > 'Dedicated' > 'Admin Users').
Tip: Visit the SSH article for information on how to log into your server based on the operating system you're using:
- Once you log into your server, navigate to the directory for the version of PHP you wish to edit:
- For PHP 5.5
- /etc/php55
- For PHP 5.6
- /etc/php56
- For PHP 7
- /etc/php70
- Once you are in that directory, you'll see the php.ini file.
- Run the following command to edit it:
sudo nano php.ini
- Make any adjustments and save.
- Kill off any PHP processes to update the file.
Once you finish, the global php.ini is now used for all sites on your server which do not have a custom phprc file enabled.
|If your server is running NGINX, you must stop NGINX before killing PHP, then restart it.
To stop/kill/restart NGINX:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx stop pkill -9 php sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start
Loading PHP extensions on all domains on a Dedicated server
On a DreamHost Dedicated server, you can find the directory at
/etc/php56/conf.d/ (just make sure to change the php# folder to the actual version you're updating). Any files in this directory are loaded by all PHP interpreters for this version of PHP.
All custom phprc files can be created with the instructions above for your NGINX machine. However, if you need to update your changes, run the following command under your admin user:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
This section will help to resolve common errors you may encounter on your PHP website.
Turning off PHP errors and warnings
If you upgrade the PHP version on your site, you may suddenly see various error messages. DreamHost always recommends that you check each message, but if you're sure they are not causing any issues with the functionality of your site then you can remove them.
To remove the error messages, add these lines to your phprc file.
display_errors = off error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED
Cannot modify header information
You may notice the following error either when visiting your site or logging in to it:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at...'''
This is essentially an issue with how the site is coded. Most often, this simply means something was sent to the browser before the header() was called. Technically speaking, once the header block has already been sent, you cannot add
additional header lines. Most often this is caused by your code sending output to the browser before the header() function. Make sure your header() function is set in your code before any output.
If you do not want to make any adjustments to your code, you can add the following in your phprc file to resolve this.
output_buffering = 4096
If you don't see the changes made to your phprc file
It's possible that even if you've correctly added the phprc file, you may not notice its customizations resolving online.
There are two suggestions to get this file updated:
- Update your phprc file via SSH
- Log into your server via SSH.
- Once you log in, run the following command based on your version of PHP to kill off all running PHP processes:
For PHP 5.3:
killall -9 php53.cgi
For PHP 5.4:
killall -9 php54.cgi
For PHP 5.5:
killall -9 php55.cgi
For PHP 5.6:
killall -9 php56.cgi
Killing off your PHP processes in this way updates your phprc file.
- Update your phprc file in your panel
You can also update your phprc file by saving your domain configuration in your panel.
- Navigate to the (Panel > 'Domains' > 'Manage Domains') page.
- Click the Edit button to the right of your domain under the 'Web Hosting' column.
- The 'Manage Domains' settings page opens:
- In the first section, click the blue Change settings button.
- This will update your phprc file within 10 minutes.
OwnCloud errors due to OPcache
OPcache is installed on some shared servers which may cause ownCloud to throw a 500 error. If your site is running PHP 5.5 or 5.6, the following lines are added to your phprc file automatically by DreamHost:
; {{{ The following lines were automatically added by DreamHost zend_extension=opcache.so ; }}} That's all from DreamHost
Some users have reported errors with OwnCloud after this change. To resolve the errors, add the following line to your phprc file:
opcache.fast_shutdown = 0

Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and while we live on earth, this would be our dress rehearsal. What good deeds we did on earth will be reflected on the next life.
Most of the people are petrified of death but the mere fact is the body we have is just temporary. The Bible is very specific that our body is temporary, and it is called tent. The Bible says: "When this tent we live in—our body here on earth—is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last forever."
Remember, the two roads that we have to choose either the wide road, which has no rules, and anything goes, or the narrow road that is hard to walk by because of its sharp rocks. However, at the end of it is our reward?
The Bible says, "God has … planted eternity in the human heart." We have inborn instinct to reach for immortality because of its eternal spirit. God has designed us to be like him, we are created in God's image as Jesus made himself to be one of us and that is how God loves us so much.
Our main goal is eternity and if that's the target how come we keep mocking of God's existence? Why is he permitting us to do the things that is against his will?
God has given us the freedom to choose. We are not made like robots. However, we have given a brain to think between right and wrong. It is called, "free-will."
While earth offers many choices, but the eternity offers two: either heaven or hell. It is our call to be in tuned with the Lord Jesus or the other way around. If we reject his love, forgiveness, and salvation, then, we will spend eternity apart from God.
C.S. Lewis said, "There are two kinds of people: those who say to God 'Thy will be done' and those to whom God says, 'All right then, have it your way.'" The sad part we chose to be apart from God while on earth, and the consequences would be regrettable.
If you think that the earth, we live-in, is a preparation for the next life, which is eternity, then, perhaps our actions would be different. However, these day and age people act differently. We embrace to be rich and famous instead of reaching out to someone who is in need.
When we live in the light of eternity, our thinking changes … we use our time and money wisely, more values on relationships instead of money and fame.
God has a purpose while on earth … The Bible says, "God's plans endure forever; his purposes last eternally."
Most people think about eternity during funerals, and shallow thinking based on ignorance.
When we leave earth that would be our birthday in heaven, and we will meet our creator with open heart. The Bible says, ""This world is not our home; we are looking forward to our everlasting home in heaven."
The deeds of this life will be carried out on the next, and we do not want to suffer the consequences because of our foolish actions.
Our reflection for this topic: Since all of us made to last forever, what would be the one thing that you should stop doing and the one you should be doing now?

According to an August 12 article in AP News, an Ohio judge ordered a temporary halt on executions. Federal Judge Gregory Frost extended an existing moratorium halting executions until January 15. The halt was ordered because of a change in the lethal injection mixtures which has led to record long executions in Ohio and Arizona.
According to the website Death Penalty Info; only 7 States have performed more executions than Ohio. Texas has performed nearly 5 times as many executions as the next closest State; Oklahoma. The number of executions in the US has decreased in each of the past 2 years.
Christians who support the death penalty typically point to Exodus 21:24 (an eye for an eye) as the foundation for their position. Others point to the Beatitudes; specifically Matthew 5:38 as the model for how Christians should handle being a victim of an assault or a crime. Jesus required followers to turn the other cheek.
100 Christians were asked to share their feelings about the death penalty. 95% of them do not support the death penalty in any form. When asked if their opinion would change if a member of their family was the accused; all 95 of them said no. when asked if their opinion would change if a member of their family were the victim; over half of them ( 49) said yes.
The death penalty creates two sets of mourners. There is the family of the victim, and the family of the one being executed. The execution day ultimately draws protests from those who may or may not have even known the accused. Is there a suitable and fair substitution for the death penalty? Would you feel different if the victim or the accused were a member of your family?

Adoptable Boxer of the month
Meet Mamie aka Momma. This super sweet 5 yr. old pittie/lab mix was rescued from a kill shelter, where unfortunately her puppies were all put to sleep. We at the rescue could not allow her to suffer the same fate. Mamie is going through quite the adjustment now in our care, but it has not broken her spirit. She does prefer a home with smaller dogs at this time, while learning to settle in the big world. Mamie is up to date on all of her shots, spayed, and micro chipped. If you are interested in providing a loving home for Mamie please fill out an adoption application at www.lvbr.org and call (702) 531-4712 for more information. There is an adoption fee.

After Friday's disastrous trading session, the new week got off to a slow start. Although the S&P 500 Index advanced 0.50% to 1,307 after Monday's opening bell, by 10:23 the S&P 500 dropped to 1,366 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.08% to 2,978. Miami-based corporations saw their stocks advance briefly, before making abrupt declines.
The stock market's early boost followed the Commerce Department's report on Retail Sales, which surged by 0.8% in March, beating expectations for an increase of only 0.3%. Nevertheless, the New York Fed's Empire State Manufacturing Survey was a big disappointment because the Business Conditions Index declined to 6.56 in April from 20.21 in March. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected the index to drop to just 17.50. The New York Fed's report quickly erased the early-morning gains with this revelation:
The general business conditions index dropped fourteen points to 6.6, suggesting that while growth continued, the pace slowed over the month. The new orders index was little changed at 6.5, indicating a modest increase in orders, and the shipments index fell twelve points to 6.4, indicating a slower pace of growth for shipments.
Of the three major stock indices, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was the only index which managed to spend the entire day in positive territory. The Dow closed at 12,921 for a gain of 71 points. The S&P 500 slipped by a mere 5 basis points (0.05 percent) to finish at 1,369. The NASDAQ Composite lost 76 basis points (0.76 percent) to end the day at 2,988.
Miami-based corporations achieved mixed results in Monday's trading. Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) led the group, with a gain of 70 basis points (0.70%) to close at 31.44. Ryder System (R) advanced by 40 basis points (0.40%) to finish at 49.94. Royal Caribbean (RCL) sank by 1.25% to close at 26.96. Lennar (LEN) declined by 1.23% to end the day at 25.79.
Our "thought for the day" comes from Barry Ritholtz, who recently provided us with some good trading tips, under the heading: "My Rules". So, here are The Ritholtz Rules:
1. Make sure you understand what your holding period is before you establish any position.
2. Traders should NEVER let any losing trade turn into an investment.
3. Strong investments should be given the benefit of the doubt, rather than taking the quick profit.
4. Winning trades should be allowed to run, but require a new exit strategy.
These are fairly basic but oft overlooked ideas. Understand them or create your own, but please don't just wing it. That's a real formula for disaster.
The following companies will be playing "beat the number" on Tuesday, with the release of their quarterly earnings reports: Gannett Company (GCI), Charles Schwab (SCHW), Mattel (MAT) and Citigroup (C). Good luck!

Greetings, friends. This week we were rich in Best Bets for the Wave, which makes us also rich in Also Good Bets. I'm not going to lie, some weeks when I do this column its like "Sweet. Some guy is going to be juggling driftwood down in Canal Park. Wanted: One photo; Size: XL." Not this week. It is all quality, all the time.
Photo from here.Daniels is the one in the back seat when the duo rolls into Aspen, Colo.
One way to pay homage to the snot-mustached star of "Dumb and Dumber" would be to hop onto a scooter with a best friend and take an icy road trip to Ironwood, Mich., slip into a baby blue tuxedo, and go see Jeff Daniels perform at 8 p.m. Monday at the Historic Ironwood Theatre. (Daniels played Harry Dunn in the oft-quoted movie from 1994 that co-starred Jim Carrey). Daniels is also a singer/songwriter, turns out, with more than 400 songs to his credit.

> JR> And DONT ignore drag terms. > > Most definitely! :-) > I'm confused about this. I've used a program for years that ignores drag terms, and it used to never differ from more comprehensive programs by more than a minute, except for MIR. And even with MIR, it is only when MIR has decayed to a low altitude like it was earlier this year. I say "used to never differ" because I still seem to have some Y2K issues with the program that I can't figure out, but that is another story. However back to the drag issue, I was of the opinion that except for low altitude sats with significant drag like MIR, that drag could be ignorred if you replace your keps every 2 weeks or so. Is this wrong? If so, which sats give a problem with drag... ie perhaps I've just been lucky to have only tracked sats for which drag isn't important. ************************************** *Bill Jones N3JLQ Sweden Maine * * email@example.com * * http://www.megalink.net/~wejones * * TVRO HAM RADIO WWII/B-17 SPACE WX * ************************************** ---- Via the amsat-bb mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

Walt Disney movies have always been susceptible to the criticism that they sugarcoat, sentimentalize and otherwise bowdlerize their source material. "Saving Mr. Banks," a remarkably entertaining, sun-dappled movie about the struggle to get P.L. Travers' classic "Mary Poppins" on the screen, is actually less guilty than it initially appears, but it doesn't matter anyway. Whether Disney is giving itself the Disney treatment or not, this is one of the best movies of the year. Director John Lee Hancock's follow-up to "The Blind Side" is a well-crafted, smartly written and above all, enormously entertaining story. Disney is getting the Disney treatment here, and if the result isn't exactly a docudrama, we'll all just have to get over that.
"The Blind Side" did not generate a great deal of suspense. Most viewers knew Michael Oher ended up playing in the NFL before they bought their tickets. Similarly, most viewers probably know that "Mary Poppins" was an Oscar-winning hit for Disney and will walk in knowing the movie will get made. The story here is what's really at the heart of Travers' creation, why she wrote it, and how she learns to deal with her past - sort of primal scream therapy on film. And here the screenplay by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith does serve up a fair number of surprises.
Ungrateful, snooty and downright rude, Travers is presented as a surly pain in the ass who seems to genuinely resent sunshine. After 20 years of Walt Disney pursuing the movie rights to "Mary Poppins," she is only considering selling now because she needs money. She flies to Los Angeles on Disney's dollar, is picked up at the airport by a well-meaning studio driver (a particularly ingratiating Paul Giamatti) and checked in to the Beverly Hills Hilton, where her room has been filled with fruit baskets and stuffed (Disney) animals. Travers considers all of this a nuisance. Emma Thompson plays Travers with an upper lip of cast iron, but more, with an absolutely unapologetic prickliness that would intimidate a porcupine.
Tom Hanks' Walt Disney is genuinely bemused and befuddled by Travers' antagonism. After all, she stands to make a lot of much-needed money, and is being treated with a deference that most novelists getting their feet wet in Hollywood would kill for.
As Disney, Hanks embodies everything we want to believe about the creator of Mickey Mouse - cuddly and warm-hearted, insistent, persistent and just wily enough to be endearing. Disney had a dark side, but "Saving Mr. Banks" is content to allude to Disney's difficult relationship with a stern father he nonetheless loved. One might note the name over the studio's door. It might be asking too much to expect Disney or any studio to shine too piercing a light on its exalted founder. And although Hanks neither looks nor sounds particularly like Walt Disney, what other major American actor could summon the peculiarly American persona of the creator of Mickey Mouse?
Travers doesn't want "Mary Poppins" to be a musical, hates animation and at one point actually decrees that the color red should not be in the movie. Of course the fact remains that the Mary Poppins books are dark, even chilling, and Mary Poppins herself is far ruder in the books than her Julie Andrews incarnation, but Travers doesn't seem to understand that there is an unspoken transaction between writer and reader, and that once a book is published, the readers form their own impressions, and ultimately, those may be the ones that count.
It could be argued successfully that "Saving Mr. Banks" relies too heavily on parallel storytelling. The screenplay alternates between Travers' creative headbutting sessions and flashbacks to her childhood in Australia, which peel back like the layers of an onion, gradually revealing the elements from the author's past that shaped her famous literary creation, particularly a no-nonsense (and apparently wholly fictitious) aunt played by Rachel Griffith who bears more than a passing resemblance to Mary Poppins. And it is these scenes, in which the love story between the young girl (Annie Rose Buckley) and her doomed, alcoholic father (Colin Farrell) slowly unfold, that provide a counterpoint to the bristly adult. The viewer will quickly realize that the point of the movie is not how a movie was made, but what made the author write the book it was based on. And as the backstory unfolds, the viewer will also notice that the material is darker than it appears.
"Saving Mr. Banks" features a host of superb supporting performances, from Giamatti, Farrell, Bradley Whitford as screenwriter Don Dagradi and Jason Schwartzman and B.J. Novak who shine as "Mary Poppins" songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman. (Needless to say Thomas Newman's sentimental score gets frequent lifts from the classic songs from "Mary Poppins.")
John Schwartzman's cinematography adroitly manages the sleight-of-hand of making Hollywood sun-drenching look different from Australian outback sun-drenching while giving the entire production a sentimental look. In point of fact, that may be the point. "Saving Mr. Banks" is a vastly less sentimental movie than it looks. The movie's golden glow is like the proverbial spoonful of sugar, helping the medicine go down.
"Saving Mr. Banks" opens on Friday, December 20th, and will be playing at theaters across the Capital District. Check local listings for specific showtimes and admission prices.

With Battleground just a couple of nights away, let's just get right into Smackdown! I am hoping for a great lead in for the show, as the build up until this point has been lackluster at best.
Break it Down!
Opening Segment: 7.25
So, are they going with the name The Authority for Steph and HHH? If my Closed Captions are any indication, then I am really not a fan of it. It just doesn't flow right to me. And while I have really enjoyed Show's emotional roller coaster ride, save a few of the tears, the illusions to him possibly turning heel again in this promo are extremely misguided. Show has only recently turned face again, and while he is one of the few people in this industry who can do that flop seamlessly, changing him again within 4 months of the last one is foolish. But at least they are trying new things to make this interesting. HHH buying Show's mortgage from the bank, while seemingly improbable to most viewers, could actually happen, as my father had the very same thing happen to him with a private equity group. And with HHH holding it over Show's head, now he has to fall in line with The Authority or lose his home! That is dirty and very psychologically effective! The Cerebral Assassin is back!
RVD vs. Fandango: 6
I love RVD's dedication since returning. Maybe it's because of guys like Lesnar and The Rock, but having RVD work just about every show since his return has been quite refreshing. But despite my feelings for RVD, this match was quite a disappointment. We had about 2 minutes of action before we got a commercial, then shortly after it returned Summer Rae causes Fandango to get DQed! I know it was a setup for RVD to hit a Van Terminator on Fandango, but it just didn't feel right to take away from the fans what could have been a great match on Smackdown.
Winner: RVD (DQ)
Ryback vs. R-Truth: 6.75
Wait, Ryback doesn't get an entrance? Ouch! So much for Heyman Guys having some stroke in WWE! Well, at least his opponent was relevant to the Heyman Guys with R-Truth. And R-Truth but on a good performance before being squashed down by Ryback's two moves of doom. But the real telling story in this match was the almost hypnotic state Ryback was in as he focused on R-Truth being a "bully" to him. I don't really know what to make of it. Was he that traumatized as a kid that he now becomes a different person when confronting someone he perceives as a bully? I ask this because the way he was talking about it in the ring was child-like. Maybe we can get a psychological break for Ryback somewhere down the line. Paging Dr. Shelby!
As a secondary note, I think Axel's post match attack on R-Truth, while very short, did one thing right. It showed us a more intense side of Axel, which is much better than the smug, arrogant side WWE has been trying to feed us. Sure, he's his father's son, but he just doesn't pull off the "Perfect" arrogance well.
Winner: Ryback (Pin)
ADR Interview: 5
ADR was really weak. He tries to act like the arrogant heel, but he just doesn't convey it across the screen well at all. I have said many times that I don't think he believes in his character, and it showed here better than at any other point. It was like he was trying to remember what he was supposed to be saying.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler: 9
Sandow is on commentary was sublime! And all of the teases to him cashing in MITB really makes me hope he cashes in on Sunday. This was a simply fantastic match, as it seems these two can't put on a bad one. It's a real shame their feud was killed so quickly, as it could have been great. It wasn't that they did anything different from what we have seen from the two of them in the past, but it was that they knew each other so well and worked like they had never missed a beat from their feud. I was just enthralled with it, as I had to watch the match 3 times just to write the notes for it!
Winner: ADR (Sub)
Los Matadores vs. 3MB: 5.75
Again? Monday wasn't enough? 3MB just wants to be embarrassed week after week. Drew's got the rope… That's a Boondock Saints reference! But Drew has been conspicuously absent for the past couple of weeks… Maybe it is a sign that he is finally going to get that push we all have hoped that he would get. Wow! It is a mini Mantaur! That is pure Are You Serious material! And while Los Matadores' ring work wasn't bad, their gimmick is making it very hard for me to get into it. My big gripe is their finisher. After so many high flying move throughout the entire match, their finisher is a double backdrop? It makes little sense. But at least we got to see the bull fly after the match!
Winners: Los Matadores (Pin)
Heyman Interview: 7
This interview was not his best work, but it served it's purpose, which was to hype up Heyman's two matches at Battleground. I know that I am at least looking forward to one of them.
Aksana vs. Brie Bella: 4.75
It's a cold day in the Netherworld when I say that brie Bella was the better Diva in a match! She carried Aksana throughout the entire match. And while Brie has 2 years more ring experience than Aksana, up until recently I wouldn't have guessed that was the case. Other than her modeling background, I just don't see Aksana's appeal. And while the match itself wasn't anything to write home about, the ending was atrocious! Aksana, even if it was only for a second, had her feet on the ropes, and the ref missed it because his back was turned to them! And it was the same one that botched two endings in a row a month ago! Baka!
Winner: Brie Bella (Pin)
AJ Lee Promo: 8
AJ's feeling inspired… Uh oh! It sounds like she is going back off of the deep end of her crazy pool! This could make the Divas Title match much more fun than I anticipated!
Big E. Langston vs. Kofi Kingston: 4
That was fast! They didn't even have a chance to do hardly anything in the ring before Kofi rolled up Big E. and the bell rang! Creative really didn't put a lot of thought into the wrestling side of this week's show.
Winner: Kofi Kingston (Pin)
Bray Wyatt Promo: 9
So on the Sabbath, the first of our heroes shall fall… I like the idea of Wyatt running through all of the most popular midcard superstars to help propel him into the main event. I just wonder how much Harper and Rowan will hold him down, as their ring work is clearly not up to par for this level of competition.
Rhodes Recap: 9.5
This is probably the most emotionally invested I have been in a storyline in quite some time. The Rhodes Family is easily one of the most talented wrestling families in the history of this business, and The Authority's prejudice against them makes you just want to support them that much more. The match between The Rhodes and the Shield will easily be the one every fan will be tuning in to see on Sunday night.
4-on-1 Handicap Match
The Shield and Randy Orton vs. Big Show: 8
There was some absolutely fantastic tag team psychology by the Shield during this match. Fast tags, picking apart a particular point on Show's body, and just all being on the same page with one another show the fans just how cohesive of a unit The Shield are. Add in the fact that they worked seamlessly with Orton added into their mix, and that further added to how great they operate. That was a very sloppy DDT counter by Orton. I can't totally blame Orton on it, as it looks like Show didn't fall into it very well, but it just looked really bad. That was an excellent ending to the match, as we knew the Authority's minions had to do something to subdue the giant. And what better way then with the numbers game? Of course, a segment such as this wouldn't be complete without a Reigns Spear, and between his and Big Show's, I think Reigns does it much better. We did get to obligatory save segment here, which let Bryan get the upper hand going into Battleground, but is that enough momentum?
Winner: Big Show (DQ)
Overall Wrestling Grade: 6.25
Overall Segment Grade: 7.5
Overall Show Grade: 6.75
It is a sad day when the promos outshine the ring work by such a large degree. I had such high hopes going into this show that we were going to get a great lead in to Battleground, but as usual, my hopes were dashed upon the rocks of Creative's fallacies. But given the way the PPV is built, I don't know if one show could have saved Battleground. Don't forget that about the Live Blog and Live Coverage for Battleground, and I will see you Sunday!

Newport Harbor, Calif. -- The Stanford Women's Varsity Sailing Team showed their incredible depth and agility as the Cardinal dominated both A and B Divisions at this past weekend's Pacific Coast Fall Championship, hosted by UC Irvine. They were definitely marked as the team to beat after jumping up to No. 6 in the most recent National Collegiate Rankings. The Cardinal women were previously ranked eighth out of the top 15 women's teams across the country.
To take full advantage of the depth on the team, Stanford fielded two teams at the Women's Fall Championship. Sailing for Stanford 1 was A-Division sophomore skipper Jen Porter with sophomore crew Jessica Gray, who triumphed in A-winning with 8 first place finishes - earning a cushion of 20 points over their nearest competitors. In B-Division for Stanford 1, sophomore skipper Liz Shearer with sophomore crew Taylor Clark earned fifth in a tough B Fleet.
Sailing A-Division on Stanford's second team was sophomore Ashley Frush and crew sophomore Jenais Zarlin. The dynamic duo earned a close third in A, just two points behind Irvine's top team. "A-Division was the best practice for Ashley, who is off to sail the Collegiate Singlehandeds [National Championship] in one month," commented Coach Jay Kehoe. Proving that time and experience are important, senior skipper Rachael White finished a solid third in B-Division, with freshman Jessie Duncan as crew.
The Stanford 1 team finished 3rd overall, 8 points behind first place UC Irvine and 1 point behind second place and 2001 North American Champions Hawaii. Stanford 2 finished 4th overall, just 4 points behind Stanford 1. Behind Stanford's teams were California (4th), UC Santa Barbara (5th), Hawaii 2 (6th), UC Santa Cruz (7th).

Lancaster City Police have charged two caregivers from Alliance Home Help in connection with the death of a woman in their care last year. On Sunday, 5 May last year officers and emergency medical personnel were called to the apartment of 24 year old Fantasia Robinson for a welfare check, according to the LCPD. Robinson was found "unresponsive and pinned between her wheelchair and a cabinet" by the morning shift caregiver.
Robinson was transported to Lancaster Regional Medical Center initially. She had received severe burns on her abdomen and upper legs and was transferred to Temple University Hospital Burn Unit to receive treatment for those burns. Medical records, according to the police, indicate her burns were the result of a hot liquid.
Robinson died at Temple University Hospital on 13 June 2013, according to her obituary. The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office performed an autopsy. Dr. Gary Collins ruled that the cause of death was officially due to complications from the burns. The manner of her death, he ruled, was accidental.
LCPD Detective Sergeant Sonja Stebbins was contacted by the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General (AG), Bureau of Criminal Investigations shortly before Robinson died regarding an investigation they were initiating related to Robinson's home healthcare provider. The LCPD's Special Investigations Unit then began an investigation into the cause and manner of the injuries to Robinson led by Det. Sgt. Stebbins. The AG's office had stated that Robinson was critical and expected to die due to her injuries, which were complicated by her degenerative disease.
Through their investigation, the police learned that Robinson was supposed to receive 24 hour care, seven days a week due to her medical condition. Her care was being provided by Alliance Home Help located in the Moore Business Park on Eden Road in Manheim Township.
Her arrangement, according to the police, had been round the clock care with caregivers having a 12 hour shift. The changeover time was 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. A day shift caregiver never showed up at 7 a.m. on Saturday, 4 May 2013. Then at 9 a.m. the night shift caregiver had called off so no one showed up at 7 p.m. No replacement caregiver was called in and as a result the shifts went without coverage. "This left a 24 hour a day care dependent person without assistance for approximately 24 hours," the police investigation determined according to a Department press release.
When a replacement can not be found it was the duty of the Director of In Home Care or the Care Coordinator to assume those shifts. Neither of the individuals in those positions did so. The Care Coordinator at that time was Stacy Wallick, 43 of Marietta. The Director of In Home Care was 47 year old Duane Cecil, of Leola.
Both Stacy Wallick and Duane Cecil have been charged with Neglect of a Care-Dependent Person (F-1), Involuntary Manslaughter (M-1), and Recklessly Endangering Another Person (M-2).
Wallick and Cecil both turned themselves in at District Judge John C. Winters' office for arraignment. Bail was set for both today at $50,000 unsecured.
Wallick, according to her LinkedIn, is has been the Care Coordinator at Alliance Home Health since January 2013. She expects to receive her Associate of Arts degree in Human Service Management this year from the University of Phoenix.
Robinson had lived in the 500 block of Second Street. She was a 2006 graduate of Penn Manor High School. She also graduated Lancaster County Career and Technology Center. She studied graphic design/commercial art at Millersville University.
She left behind her father, David, and a then 15 month old daughter Arden. Her daughter would be eight this year. She also left behind three brothers and two sisters.
Alliance Home Help has been in business since 2010. The company provides caregivers for adults, aged 18 to 59 ½, with disabilities. The company professes to provide personal care, respite care and companion care.

Already over 600 years ago first diamonds were cut and the same technique is still used to transform precious stones into exquisite jewelry and later into unrivaled industrial tools. Dr. Lars Pastewka's and Prof. Michael Moseler's team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM in Freiburg/Germany can now reveal the secret of why it is that diamonds can be machined. The team published its findings in the current online issue of Nature Materials. This work represents major progress in tribology -the research of friction and wear. Despite the great significance for industry the scientific basics of tribology are poorly understood.
Diamonds have been ground by craftsmen for hundreds of years using cast iron wheels studded with fine diamond particles turning at around 30 meters per second at the outer rim. A highly tuned sense of sound and feeling enable an experienced diamond grinder to hold the rough diamond at just the right angle to achieve a smooth and polished surface. The fact that diamonds react directionally has been known for a long time, says Lars Pastewka. The physical phenomenon is known as anisotropy. The carbon atoms in the diamond lattice form lattice planes, some of which are easier to polish than others, depending on the angle at which the diamond is held.
For hundreds of years, researchers have been looking for a logical way of explaining this empirical phenomenon, and have so far been unsuccessful. Equally, no one has been able to explain why it is possible that the hardest material in the world can be machined. The scientists in Freiburg have answered both these questions with the help of a newly developed calculation method.
Michael Moseler explains the method in layman's terms: »The moment a diamond is ground, it is no longer a diamond.« Due to the high-speed friction between the rough diamond and the diamond particles in the cast iron wheel, a completely different »glass-like carbon phase« is created on the surface of the precious stone in a mechanochemical process. The speed at which this material phase appears depends on the crystal orientation of the rough diamond. »This is where anisotropy comes in«, explains Moseler.
The new material on the surface of the diamond, adds Moseler, is then »peeled off« in two ways: the ploughing effect of the sharp-edged diamond particles in the wheel repeatedly scratches off tiny carbon dust particles from the surface - this would not be possible in the original diamond state, which is too hard and in which the bond forces would be too great. The second, equally important impingement on the normally impenetrably hard crystal surface is due to oxygen (O) in the air. The O2 molecules bond with carbon atoms (C) within the instable, long carbon chains that have formed on the surface of the glassy phase to produce the atmospheric gas CO2, carbon dioxide.
And how was it possible to determine when and which atoms would detach from the crystalline surface? »We looked extremely closely at the quantum mechanics of the bonds between the atoms at the surface of the rough diamond breaking. We had to analyze the force field between the atoms in detail«, explains Lars Pastewka.
If one understands these forces well enough, one can precisely describe - and model - how to make and break bonds. »This provided the basis for investigations into the dynamics of the atoms at the friction surface between a diamond particle on the wheel and the rough diamond itself«, adds Pastewka. He and his colleague Moseler have calculated the paths of around 10,000 diamond atoms and followed them on screen. Their calculations paid off: their model is able to explain all the processes involved in the dusty and long misunderstood method of diamond grinding.
The newly developed model is not only a milestone in the field of diamond research: »It proves also that friction and wear processes can be described precisely with modern material simulation methods ranging from the atomic level to macroscopic objects.« emphasizes Prof. Peter Gumbsch, director of the institute. He considers this just as one example of the many questions on wear that industry needs answers to. These questions will be addressed in future by the Fraunhofer IWM within the newly founded MicroTribology Centre µTC under the motto »make tribology predictable«.

At Spyder, Smith says, the company opted for a vanilla implementation of a high-end system. That allowed Spyder to offer the information services that its vendors and customers expected without getting stuck with the high costs of a custom version, a luxury few small companies have. It also allowed Spyder's new system to explode out of the gate, without limiting future expansion possibilities. To keep control of the implementation costs, Spyder negotiated a fixed-cost contract from Deloitte Consulting.
"The easiest thing is to say, 'I have this one very specific problem, let me invest in something that will solve just it,'" says Ray Boggs, vice president of SMB and home office research at IDC, an analyst firm based in Framingham, Massachusetts. But what these managers need to do is take the next step and think of that problem in the broader scheme of where the business is going. Otherwise, they make the real mistake of buying one-off pieces that duplicate effort but don't communicate with each other, making IT a headache rather than a help.
The owner and senior managers need to take the time to come up with a plan for the business as a whole. "Then they should ask, 'On the road to accomplishing this, what will I need?'" Boggs says. In his research, Boggs has found that having a business plan is the single thing that separates companies that will last from those that won't, no matter how fast the companies are growing right now. It's hard to make the time in the press of everyday business, but that's what managers do. "Provide your business with some adult supervision," he says.
Michael Fritsch, CEO of Prometheus Performance Systems, which offers training and consulting on financial information systems to small businesses, says that a business should start by defining the goals for the technology investment as part of its business strategy. Is it to make the company look bigger, improve operating efficiency, or add staff without renting more office space? Each of these will lead to a different type of investment. "Figure out what you want before you go out for bids," he says. "Keep the wish list in functional terms. That way, the vendors can show you what their approach would be, leading to more creative thinking all around."
Boggs suggests that SMBs do some careful research before making a commitment. "You don't want to be the last person to adopt something, but you don't want to be the first," he says. As with so much of business life, he recommends networking, something entrepreneurs tend to be good at anyway. Business owners should ask questions at conferences, do online research, and ask peers about what systems are out there and what features make a difference in that industry. "Businesspeople in the local community who are not direct competitors are often great sources of information," he says. "You can learn a lot from them."

Is the following statement always true:
if there is a mixed-strategy Nash equilibria then it is unique.
I know that there can be several pure strategy Nash equilibrias.
Is the following statement always true:
I know that there can be several pure strategy Nash equilibrias.
migrated from cstheory.stackexchange.com Jun 12 '12 at 18:05
This question came from our site for theoretical computer scientists and researchers in related fields.
No. The easiest way to prove this is by counterexample. Expanding matching pennies, we can create a game with two mixed strategies (players either mix between A and B or between C and D):
What might be true about that statement is for a mix of particular pure strategies for two players, there is a unique mixed strategy equilibrium. This presumes that there is a threshold after which you switch from using strategy $0$ to strategy $1$. At this threshold, your opponent is ambivalent between her strategies. As depicted below, the intersection (and hence mix) will be unique.

FULLERTON – After hearing pleas from community members impacted by drunken drivers, the City Council on Tuesday voted 4-1 to accept two state grants totaling nearly $200,000 to be used for enforcement.
The council majority in August voted unanimously to accept a grant from the state Office of Traffic Safety for $146,222 for enforcement programs that include saturation patrols designed to target drunken drivers – but the panel turned away a $50,000 grant specifically for checkpoints.
Councilman Travis Kiger had said checkpoints violate the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment – which guards against unreasonable searches – and are ineffective and merely a tool used by police unions to garner overtime pay.
But it turned out there was a catch: Officials with the Office of Traffic Safety said the council would have to accept both grants – or not get any money at all. After dozens from the community criticized the initial decision, Mayor Sharon Quirk-Silva put the checkpoint issue back on the table for Tuesday's meeting and it was approved.
"Will it help the city, the citizens and those who drive through the city (be) safer?" said Councilman Doug Chaffee, who along with the mayor always supported the checkpoint funding. "The answer is a resounding yes."
Kiger, who turned in the lone "no" vote this time, said he was not necessarily opposed to using the checkpoint grant but would like to see the checkpoints set up on days when higher incidents of drunken driving exist, such as major holidays.
"I think drunk drivers should go to jail for a long, long time," Kiger said. "My stance is (wanting to implement) the most effective way to get drunk drivers off the streets. ... They (grants) should go towards saturation patrols, which are more effective."
Susan Price, an Orange County deputy district attorney, told the council: "I can tell you that the use of checkpoints is not the number of arrests. It really comes down to public education."
Christine Walker, a longtime Fullerton resident, noted that the city has a lot of bars: "If anyone needs a DUI checkpoint, it's us."

Each Wednesday the Stanford men's gymnastics team will post a childhood photo of a current gymnast on their Facebook and Twitter pages asking, "Can you name this gymnast?" The identity of the gymnast will be revealed on Thursday along with a special Q-and-A, giving fans a chance to get to know the gymnasts before the 2014 season.
This week's featured gymnast is sophomore Jonathan Deaton. The Longmeadow, Mass., native discusses competing at the NCAA Championships as a freshman, the difference between arriving on campus as a freshman and as a sophomore, and his hobbies outside the gym.
You got to compete last season at the NCAA Championships as a freshman, what was that experience like?
Competing at the NCAA Championships was a tremendous experience. I have never felt like I was so much a part of a team as I did last year. It was great to see the entire team perform and succeed. I felt so grateful to contribute to our team and make NCAA's a success.
How has this year been going so far in the gym?
So far this year things have been going well in the gym. Preseason training is very physically demanding but I feel it is getting my teammates and I in great shape. Personally, I have been working several new skills, which I hope to add in to my routines to up my difficulty score.
What are your expectations for the team this year, both short-term and long-term?
In the short term, our team goals are to get everyone on the team in peak physical shape so that we can keep adding new skills and pushing the difficulty of our routines. This way, when our season comes, we will be ready to rock some sweet sets. Our long-term goal for this year is to win the NCAA Championships.
Any personal goals you'd like to accomplish this year?
This year I want to be an All-American on high-bar, floor, and vault. I also want to contribute to our team score on p-bars and pommel horse at the NCAA Championships. I would also like to add at least one new skill to each of my routines that I compete.
What do you look forward to most this season?
Training with intensity in the gym so that each weekend, when I go out to compete I can simply show off my routines and enjoy the opportunity to perform. This was my favorite part about competing last year. I hope this year to be able to perform on more events and to enjoy competitions even more.
What was your biggest takeaway from last year's NCAA Championships experience?
The thing that I took away from last year's NCAA Championships is that every single tenth of a point matters. Last year we squeaked into third place above Penn State by half of a tenth. I keep this in mind when I practice in order to push myself as close as I can to perfecting my execution. If we keep this mentality as a team, then at the end of the year, we will come out on top.
What do you think was the biggest difference when you arrived on campus this year, compared to last year as a freshman?
Last year, when I arrived at Stanford I had no idea what to expect. I anticipated that I would struggle the most with keeping up with schoolwork and that I would find peace in the gym. I was completely wrong and struggled with the intensity of our workouts almost all year. This year I knew what to expect from the training and have been able to prepare myself for it. So far things have been going great!
Outside of the gym, what do you like doing with your free time?
This year I am living in Branner Hall and I have been spending most of my free time meeting all of the new and interesting people that live near me. I also enjoy playing the guitar as a way to relax. On the weekends however, my favorite thing to do is to hang out with my team.
You said you like to play guitar, when did you learn to play? What are some of your favorite songs to play? Any original productions?
I have been teaching myself to play acoustic guitar for three years. My favorite songs to play are Six Feet From the Edge by Creed and Wake Me Up by Avicii. I have never performed before, but I have written and recorded a few songs of my own.
Read any good books lately? Recommendations?
Recently I enjoyed reading Shadows in Flight by Orson Scott Card, a science fiction novel set thousands of years in the future. For anyone who likes science fiction, I would recommend reading Ender's Game, also by Orson Scott Card; the movie comes out this Friday. (But I already know the book is way better!)
Anything else you'd like to add?
Go Stanford! We are going to be great this year!

Ready, set, chew that pizza cookie! Pizza Hut, obviously best known for its pizzas, is introducing its new "pizza cookie" on Monday, according to a USA Today report on Monday morning. While people may like their pizza with a pop or a beer, the pizza cookie is likely going to improve their milk sales at the Pizza Hut restaurants throughout the country. The Pizza Hut pizza cookie is nearly pizza-sized at eight inches. It is basically a chocolate chip cookie. As for the chocolate, it's good. It's Hershey's.
While internally called the pizza cookie, Pizza Hut has teamed up with Hershey's chocolate for what is formally called the Ultimate Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie. The idea is to get people to not only enjoy their pizzas, but to enjoy a gooey, chocolaty cookie for dessert. The pizza cookie is not only available at the pizza restaurants, but it is also available for delivery and carry-out as well.
The restaurant business is very competitive these days. In particularly, there are a great many pizza businesses vying for American consumers' money at their cash registers. Admittedly, Pizza Hut is trying to get people to choose their restaurants over their many competitors. The restaurant chain's marketers believe that the pizza cookie will be a hit with their younger customers and will keep them coming back to them for the cookie and their other offerings.
Carrie Walsh, chief marketing officer of Pizza Hut restaurants, says the millennials are telling them that this is what they want. She says young people want to top off a great pizza with a great dessert. The pizza cookie will cost people $4.99 if they order a pizza with it. If they only want the pizza cookie and don't order pizza, the cost is a dollar more, according to a Chicago Tribune report. The Ultimate Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie is served – or delivered – warm.

Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SKMCH&RC) fundraiser
The hospital's spokesman said the idea of the campaign was to clear the common misconception in people's mind that cancer had no cure and meant certain death. The SKMCH&RC is trying to educate people that the cancer is curable and how they can support the hospital in its endeavour to provide free cancer treatment facilities to poor cancer patients.
The campaign emphasises the idea that how a nominal donation of Rs. five a day can help the hospital to save precious lives. People can donate through various channels like auto-deduction from their bank account, credit card, online account or by SMS.
