In the previous article on How to build your resilience to teacher stress, we looked at what stress was and the chemicals released into our system through our fight or flight response. One of the best ways to handle this in a healthy manner is through physical activity. We need to burn off those chemicals that are there to help us be stronger and faster.
What are some ways that teachers can fit physical activity into their daily living? Take a look around at your surroundings. You need not look far.
1. Go for a walk. If it is during the school day, bring your sneakers and even a quick walk around the building will get your heart beating. If the weather's bad, don't be afraid to power-walk the halls. Want to ramp it up? How about a hike? There are some amazing local trails such as The Blue Hills Reservation for mountain trails or The Cape Cod National Seashore for ocean views.
2. Take a class. Check out the YMCA of Greater Boston for a list of classes near you. Who said exercise couldn't be fun? The YMCA offers a variety of programs and classes ranging from adult dodge ball leagues to pilates, dance, and spin classes. There is something for everyone and membership rates are still reasonable compared to most gyms.
3. Ride your bike. Massachusetts boasts some of the most beautiful bike trails in the country. A great online resource for trail info and bike resources is MassBike. The provide regional lists of trails along with great information for experienced and novice cyclists.
4. Just move it. Make your own recipe, but when you feel stress, just get moving!

College Hockey:ECAC Hockey commissioner sees title game as confirmation more than validation
PITTSBURGH — ECAC Hockey commissioner Steve Hagwell isn't out to change anyone's perception of the league. He'll let Saturday's national title game between Yale and Quinnipiac do that.
"I think that speaks volumes to where our programs are currently. For me, it isn't validation," Hagwell said. "It's a testament to what people in this league know, that these programs are capable of getting to this level."
Speak to any coach or player around the league and they'll tell of the tightness in the league standings, something that was widespread around college hockey this season but has been a staple in the ECAC for some time.
"You're one poor penalty away from a loss or one power play away from a win," Princeton coach Bob Prier said earlier this year.
The ECAC is a slightly different from other conferences across the country, as a player can get a top education while still playing hockey at a high level.
"Maybe it's come around a little but parents are looking at institutions and saying, 'Hey, I want my son to play at the NHL level but I also want him to have a world-class education and he can do both," Hagwell said.
That factor, in addition to facility upgrades, have helped league teams win over recruits they might not have gotten in the past.
"Quinnipiac coming in with the new facility they have, and some of the institutions have worked off that and said we need to enhance our facilities as well," Hagwell said. "As [Bobcats coach] Rand [Pecknold] was just saying, they're winning battles on the recruiting front that maybe before they weren't."
A number of league teams got off to a hot start in non-conference play, and several were ranked highly in the early editions of the PairWise Rankings. But the consensus around the league seemed to be: Just wait. They'll beat each other up soon enough once conference play starts.
That's almost the case again Saturday. The ECAC is guaranteed to have a team win a national title for the first time since 1989, but it will come at the expense of another league team.
"Our teams will not have lost a game in the NCAA tournament to a non-league team," Hagwell said. "I'm sitting here thinking we have a national championship game tomorrow night. I'm not really there yet, but tomorrow I will be."

Office politics isn't a bad thing -- if you know how to play the game. Learn the unwritten rules and be a winner.
Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.
What's the prize in the office politics game? In dirty office politics, it's usually something as petty as the smug accomplishment of bettering a co-worker. Rosenbach paraphrased Henry Kissinger when he explained that office politics can get vicious because the stakes are so low.
But sometimes the stakes can be quite high.
Play office politics well and you may gain access to
the boss's ear, which can boost your career. Play the
game badly, and you could lose your job ... or worse.
"The worst thing, you could get stuck
in your career, in a dead end, blocked," Sarmiento
Young workers may have certain expectations
that the adult work world is a place of logical, unbiased
decisions, with an ultimate concern for the bottom dollar
or the customer. In reality, the workplace is not that
different from the petty clique-ishness of high school
-- with the addition of two more layers of complexity,
Lichtenberg says. At work, you're dealing with real
money and people who have the power to fire you.
Chutes & Ladders
"The essence of politics is look at what's in it
for the other person," says Sarmiento. "You
get what you want by helping others get what they want."
Rule: Establish affiliations of mutual advantage with important people. People will always be able to refer you to other jobs. Be the good guy who does your job well.
If you find yourself in a conflict with another person at work, Lichtenberg recommends changing your strategy rather than waiting for others to change. She advises finding some other way to fulfill an opponent's need. In other words, if the supply clerk makes you run through hoops to get a box of pens, discover this person's motive. Perhaps they feel out of the loop or unacknowledged. In that case, find someway to recognize this person and pay positive attention to them. You may find them less rigid in their bureaucracy.
Tag, you're it
Rule: Keep it professional at all times.
Sarmiento recommends accepting office politics as a part of your job. He explains, "Networking and politicking are not distractions -- they're part of the job. Do it in a professional way. Apply the same ethics and hard work to that part of your job."
Some folks believe if things are managed
correctly, we'll all get along perfectly. That's not
possible, Lichtenberg says.
"Office politics is like marriage and democracy," Lichtenberg says. She explains that these are all ideals; the reality is usually a bit messier. "You can have less office politics in the corporate equivalent of fascism, so the alternative is not pleasant."
Rule: Never make enemies on the way up. You'll meet them again on the way down.

I'm trying to come up with some formula to translate signal loss to distance.
Distance from Transmitter = x Signal loss = y
x=0 y=0
x=10 y=11.6
x=20 y=20.2
x=30 y=25.9
As you can see there is not a linear loss of signal as you travel in 10 meter steps away from the transmitter.
Is there some kind of equation that I can plug the signal loss into that will give me a rough estimate of the distance away from the transmitter I am?
Many Thanks, Code

Names are important.
They are one of the first means by which we make contact with the outside world, being a proper introduction. Any filly or colt, when making a new friend, will first ask what his or her name is. They are a system in which we can identify each individual. Just by calling their name, a specific pony out of a crowd of thousands can be drawn out. That is the power of a name.
Names, by themselves, have no meaning, of course. It is the ponies who give them meaning; by tying in a name with somepony in particular's muzzle, it becomes their identity. Not necessarily who they are as a pony, but their identity all the same.
I've had a few names over the years, a couple of them the result of a practice known as 'name calling'. Now, name calling is another, completely different fashion of identification; it's what happens when another sees that a pony's name just doesn't fit, so they bestow upon them a new, usually derogatory yet not entirely inaccurate, name. I've dealt with it all me life, such names including things like 'Featherbrain' or 'Bubblehead'.
There are a couple, however, that I've come to terms with being who I am. The first is my birth name: Ditzy Doo. My parents thought that it was rather cute, and I'd have to agree with them. It has some nice alliteration to it that makes it fun to say.
The second that I've accepted is Derpy Hooves. In my fillyhood, some of my classmates oh-so generously imparted the title upon me due to my clumsy nature and, either fortunately or unfortunately, it stuck. At first, I completely disliked the tag, but as more ponies began to know me as such, it began to grow on me.
Another name that I was called for a short time was Grey Pegasus Number Two. Back to my younger days at my first school, the instructors cared far too little to learn anypony's name, so they just labelled us by race and color. Naturally, I didn't stay there long.
Of all of my names, though, the one I cherish the most is simply 'mommy'.
There came a time when it was my job to give somepony a name. She was a tiny little unicorn foal, just a few shades away from myself. I decided to call her Dinky. Dinky Doo. I still am quite fond of alliteration. I will always remember the day I gave her that name as the happiest of my life.
Her father's name, however... that's something I'd prefer to forget. It wasn't alliterated, cute, or even an accurate description of him. Personally, I have a few choice names for him, all of which fall into the realm of name calling. For now, though, we just don't call him anything.
That's behind me now. I'm a single mother, but I have to live with it and make the best of it. And I have done so to the best of my ability; I have a paying, not well paying, but still paying, job and I have the smartest, cutest filly that anypony can ask for, and no unnamed stallions can ever take those away from me.
Sure, it hasn't been easy. Finding a job to feed myself and, more importantly, my growing foal, was the hardest part. I'm not a dumb mare by any stretch of the imagination; I just... make mistakes sometimes. Mistakes, though, are things that aren't acceptable at every job. My friends tell me that I should forecast weather, but weather just isn't something that my heart is in.
No, I love ponies. I love getting to know ponies and getting to know their names. Naturally, when, by chance, I found my way to Ponyville Mail Service, the horseshoe just fit. I may not be the fastest or most accurate at delivering mail, but I make sure to get the job done and I do it with a smile.
A smile isn't always enough, of course; sometimes ponies will get mad at me anyway. I try my honest best, I really do, but sometimes my best isn't good enough.
I make mistakes; I can admit that. Besides my eyes, which I have accommodated quite well for since birth, I'm told I am a perfectly healthy grown mare. I function just as well as anypony else, but I just can't stop screwing up, it seems.
I wonder about that; sometimes I even dream about it. I'll see images of what I wish I had; I'll see a happy family; in it will be a handsome husband and a pretty wife with a little filly darting in between their legs. Maybe they'll have a puppy as well. They'll live in a nice house and have steady jobs. Then it will all go up in flames. And it's because of me.
I want to be a good pony. I want to be a good mother. I want to provide my little Dinky with everything the she could dream of.
I can't, though; that life is for a mare that isn't me.
I am Ditzy Doo; Derpy Hooves the screw-up. I want to be somepony more.
I know my name; I know what I am called. Despite that, I still wonder: just who am I?

National Security
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
President Obama has signed an executive order intended to shore up the nation's defenses against cyberattacks. The president acted yesterday. As NPR's Martin Kaste reports, similar efforts have stalled in Congress, largely because of concerns over government snooping.
MARTIN KASTE, BYLINE: You know you've arrived in the 21st century when the State of the Union includes a reference to hackers.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, our air traffic control systems. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy.
KASTE: The executive order makes it easier for the government to share information about cyberthreats with the private sector - telecoms or companies running vital systems like power grids. The government will even give them classified information, as long as the companies have staffers with security clearance. The goal is quicker response to fast-moving attacks, and it's a pretty uncontroversial one. But things get stickier here.
OBAMA: Now Congress must act as well by passing legislation to give our government a greater capacity to secure our networks and deter attacks.
KASTE: Obama needs Congress to smooth the flow of information in the other direction, from companies to the government. Privacy laws make that difficult and the ACLU's Michelle Richardson says for good reason. She worries that cyber threat information uploaded from your Internet provider could end up being repurposed by the government.
MICHELLE RICHARDSON: They can use it for prosecutions of crimes that have nothing to do with cybersecurity or for this broad catchall of protecting national security. It's an undefined term, but we know over the last decade that the government is very expansive when defining national security.
KASTE: These privacy concerns have become one of the main obstacles to the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA. Civil libertarians are especially concerned about a provision that would give legal cover for private companies that share information with the government. Big telecoms were sued a few years back when it came out that they'd cooperated with the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program. The bill's chief sponsor, House Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers, says the privacy fears are overblown.
REPRESENTATIVE MIKE ROGERS: It's not a surveillance program. It's, in real time, exchanging zeros and ones when it comes to malicious software to catch it and stop it from getting on your machine.
KASTE: Speaking today at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, he said the president's executive order breathes new life into the legislation, and he said it's a much better idea to pass the bill before the country suffers a major cyberattack.
ROGERS: And I don't think you want to see what Congress does then. We don't do anything well after a significant emotional event.

LOS ANGELES - The Washington baseball team compiled 19 hits, including three each from Jayce Ray, Joe Meggs, Jacob Lamb and Caleb Brown, and got more solid pitching as the Huskies beat USC, 6-3, in the second game of a three-game, Pac-12 series at Dedeaux Field.
With the victory, the Huskies got back to .500 in conference play, improving to 10-10 in Pac-12 play and 25-18 overall. USC fell to 22-20 overall and 7-12 in the conference.
UW reliever Tyler Kane (4-1) picked up the win after entering the game with two outs in the fifth. He went one and one-third innings, retiring all four batters he faced. Starter Tyler Davis went four and two-thirds innings, limiting the Trojans to one run on three hits, but didn't figure into the decision. Closer Joshua Fredendall pitched the ninth inning to earn his eighth save.
USC starter Andrew Triggs (4-5) took the loss. In his five innings, he gave up three runs on 13 Husky hits.
Ray and Meggs both finished the day 3-for-5 with two runs. Lamb was 3-for-4 with two RBI and a double and Brown was 3-for-5 with a double and one batted in.
After being held scoreless in a 7-0 loss Friday, USC got on the board in the early Saturday when DH Alex Sherrod led off the second inning with a home run, his third of the year.
That 1-0 USC lead held up until the fifth inning when Lamb singled to drive in Jayce Ray for the Huskies' first run of the day. Branden Berry followed Lamb's hit by lining a single into right, driving in Meggs to put the Huskies on top. After a double-play groundout moved Lamb to third, Trevor Mitsui singled to make it a 3-1 Husky lead.
The UW added to its lead in the seventh. After loading the bases on two singles and a walk, Brown and Ty Afenir came through with back-to-back, two-out singles, each driving in a run to increase the UW to 5-1.
In the eighth, Ray singled and Meggs doubled for his fourth hit of the game. Lamb followed with a sacrifice fly to right to drive in Ray, making it 6-1.
In the bottom of the eighth, Sherrod belted his second homer of the day, this one a two-run shot just over the right-field fence, to cut the gap to 6-3.
The Huskies and Trojans wrap up the series Sunday with a 1:00 p.m. game.

Happy Hanukkah!
Photo by

This week, Jewish people in Israel and all around the world are celebrating Hanukkah, one of the major Jewish holidays.
"Today we combine my favorite American holiday, Thanksgiving, and my wife's favorite Jewish holiday, Hanukkah,
wrote Ambassador Ron Dermer on Facebook Thursday
. "We'll see Halley's Comet 1000 times before Thanksgivukkah comes again. Happy holidays! Chag sameach!"
Hanukkah lasts eight days and begins on the 25th of the Hebrew month of Kislev (November 27, 2013). Hanukkah marks a historic events that took place in the 2nd century BCE, when King Antiochus IV, tried to force the Jews in the Land of Israel to adopt certain customs that were against the laws of Judaism. the Jews, led by the Maccabees, the sons of Mattathias the high priest, revolted against the Greek Regime. In 164 BCE, under the leadership of Judah Maccabee, the revolt reached its climax with the liberation of Jerusalem from foreign rule, including the Holy Temple.
Holiday Customs
Candle lighting
- Throughout the eight days of Hanukkah candles are lit in a
Hanukiah, a Menorah with eight branches in a row and an extra candle holder, called the shamash, from which the other candles are lit. On each night of Hanukkah an additional candle is lit, starting with one on the first night, two on the second, etc. The Hanukiah is placed on the window sill or in some other visible place. A short blessing is recited over the lighting of the candles, a ceremony in which children are included, and which is followed by the singing of Hanukkah songs.
Jelly donuts (sufganiot) and potato latkes
- Another Hanukkah custom is the eating of special foods, mainly those fried in oil, such as donuts and fritters.
Spinning tops
- children play with four-sided spinning tops, marked with the Hebrew initials of the words: Great Miracle Happened Here
Holiday Origin
Unlike most of the major Jewish holidays, Hanukkah's origin is not in the Bible, but rather in events that happened later. This is a holiday that lasts eight days and begins on the 25th of the Hebrew month of Kislev (usually in December).
Hanukkah marks a historic event that took place in the Seleucid period, in the 2nd century BCE. A few of the Seleucid kings (the dynasty that followed Alexander the Great, and which was based in Syria) tried to force the Jews in the Land of Israel to adopt certain customs that were against the laws of Judaism. The worst decree was when King Antiochus IV ordered the installation of a statue in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
In 167 BCE, the Jews revolted against the Greek Seleucid regime. A few of the leaders of the revolt, the Hasmoneans, or Maccabees, were the sons of Mattathias, the high priest. In 164 BCE, under the leadership of Judah Maccabee, the revolt reached its climax with the liberation of Jerusalem from foreign rule, including the Holy Temple. According to Jewish tradition, the holiday of Hanukkah was instituted by Judah Maccabee.
The holiday lasts eight days, commemorating the celebrations marking the purification and rededication of the Holy Temple, and a miracle recorded in the traditions: When the Maccabees looked for holy oil to light the candelabrum in the Temple, they found only one small flask whose seal had not been broken and was therefore still pure. The oil in the flask was enough for only one day, but a miracle occurred and the oil burned of eight days. In addition to the element of heroism marked by this holiday, Hanukkah also has a motif of light against darkness, so Hanukkah is also called the Holiday of Lights.

As an adopted child himself, Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's, has always put foster care adoption as a focus in the company. This topic hits close to home for Thomas, as he wished every child could grow up with a loving family just as he did. Currently there are over 134,000 kids in foster care. From the press release:
Wendy's is launching its first-ever national fully integrated cause marketing campaign to raise awareness for foster care adoption to help children find families. "Adoption is in our company's DNA. Our founder, Dave Thomas, who was adopted, instilled in Wendy's from the start the belief that 'these children are not someone else's responsibility, they are our responsibility," said Craig Bahner, Wendy's Chief Marketing Officer.
The integrated campaign includes:
National television and radio advertising featuring Wendy Thomas, the daughter of founder Dave Thomas, talking about her Dad's legacy and personal connection to the cause of adoption, and real-life adopted families in the commercial spots.
A new adoption hub on Wendy's website (www.wendys.com/adoption) that provides multi-media content on the issue of foster care adoption, Wendy's programming and links to learn more and take action.
"In Their Own Words" video series that tells real stories of adoption from the voices of adopted children and their families. To meet the first family, visit: http://bit.ly/1hDV1vQ.
In-restaurant national promotions: Wendy's is taking its most popular regional programs—Frosty™ Key Tags and Halloween Coupon Books—nationwide for the first time, and continuing its fan-favorite Father's Day Frosty Weekend.

Samuels helps keep England at bay
Keep up to date with England's Investec Test Series against West Indies with our in-depth day-by-day reports - plus all the reaction, highlights and photos
Marlon Samuels led the way once again as West Indies prevented England's seamers from fully capitalising on Andrew Strauss' decision to bowl first in the third and final Investec Test at Edgbaston.
Following the loss of the opening two days to rain, Strauss unsurprisingly opted to field this morning, but Kieran Powell was the only batsman to depart prior to lunch - caught at slip off Tim Bresnan for 24 - as the tourists battled to 85 for one.
England enjoyed more success in the afternoon session as the hugely impressive Graham Onions struck twice in his first Test outing since January 2010 either side of a wicket for Steven Finn and a second for Bresnan.
Yet Samuels, fresh from striking 310 runs in the first two Tests, was scarcely troubled as he unfurled an array of elegant drives either side of tea.
Denesh Ramdin, who proved strong through the leg side en route to 60 not out, offered able support in a sixth-wicket stand of 56 before Samuels fell lbw to Bresnan for 76 with the new ball in sight.
Visiting skipper Darren Sammy and Sunil Narine also departed prior to the close, to Finn and Onions respectively, but Ramdin held firm as the tourists reached 280 for eight.
The Windies team showed four changes in all – Assad Fudadin, Narsingh Deonarine, Narine and Tino Best the men to come in – while England opted to leave out Stuart Broad, thereby handing Onions and Finn an opportunity to impress.
The recalled duo ended day one with respective figures of 3-56 and 2-65, while fellow paceman Bresnan returned 3-74.
England are unlikely to be satisfied with their performance in the field, however. Opener Adrian Barath was dropped twice by Ian Bell en route to 41, while Sammy also received a life when Strauss shelled a simple catch at first slip.
Live Text Commentary
Evening Session
6:49pm – STUMPS – WI 280/8; Ramdin 60, Rampaul 2 - Ramdin and Ravi Rampaul survive the final six balls and that concludes a relatively even day. West Indies may be slightly happier than their hosts after being reduced to 152 for five in the afternoon session.
6:45pm - Ramdin benefits from another edge through the slip cordon for four. One over remaining tonight and Bresnan will bowl it.
6:39pm - FIFTY! Ramdin (97b 6x4 0x6) - A mis-field from Jonny Bairstow at point enables Ramdin to bring up his half-century with a single. These have been important runs from the stumper, who struggled with the bat in the first two Tests.
6:32pm - WICKET! Narine b Onions 11; WI 267/8 - Onions will not be denied any longer and bowls Narine via an inside edge to claim a richly deserved third wicket.
6:27pm - To be honest, I am not sure how Narine is still there. Onions has just had the tailender in all sorts of trouble, but the Windies remain seven down.
6:20pm - Narine shows he is perfectly capable with the bat by caressing Finn to the point boundary. A subsequent play-and-miss against Bresnan is somewhat less impressive, however.
6:14pm - Ramdin is making the most of his earlier luck. Back-to-back fours through the leg side off Bresnan take the wicketkeeper-batsman on to 43.
6:06pm – WICKET! Sammy c Strauss b Finn 16; WI 241/7 - But not anymore! Finn finds Sammy's edge once again and this time the skipper makes no mistake. Here comes Sunil Narine, on debut.
6:03pm - Now it is Ramdin's turn to enjoy some good fortune. Facing Bresnan, he gets a bottom edge for four when looking to leave and then slices one through the gap between second slip and gully. This partnership, now worth 33, is beginning to cause England frustration.
6pm - DROPPED CATCH! Sammy, on 16, is given a life. He nicks a full ball from Finn but Strauss is unable to hold on at first slip. Not the first chance that has gone down today. A reminder that we can go on until 7pm tonight, although, with only 11 overs remaining, I do not think that will be necessary.
5:50pm - Following the final drinks break of the day, Sammy unfurls a square-drive for four off Onions. Ramdin then finds the boundary in more streaky fashion as an edge from Finn flies over the slips.
5:35pm - Onions, who - for my money - has been the pick of England's attack today, replaces Bresnan and Sammy gets off the mark with a clip into the leg side for two.
5:26pm - Windies skipper Darren Sammy survives the remainder of Bresnan's over and it is now time for the new ball. Finn, who has clipped the stumps at the non-striker's end in his delivery stride at least 15 times today, gets first use of the fresh cherry.
5:20pm – WICKET! Samuels lbw Bresnan 76; WI 208/5 - My oh my, that is a HUGE wicket for England. With the new ball just one over away, Bresnan gets one to nip back into Samuels and the right-hander is adjudged lbw propping forward. His review proves in vain and that marks the end of a splendid innings.
5:17pm - Bresnan is back on in place of Swann. A pulled two from Ramdin takes the value of this sixth-wicket stand beyond 50 before Samuels drives Trott through the gap between cover and mid-off.
5:08pm - It has gone a little flat out there at the moment as we await the new ball. In a bid to alleviate any yawning, Denesh Ramdin clubs Swann over midwicket for four. West Indies now 199 for five from 76 overs.
4:51pm - With the aforementioned new ball clearly in mind, Andrew Strauss gives Finn a rest and calls upon the medium-pace of Jonathan Trott, who is, of course, playing on his home ground. In further exciting news, a selection of mini ice-cream tubs are being handed out in the press box. Would be rude of me to refuse...
4:48pm - Samuels prospers off the back foot, guiding Finn wide of gully for his eighth four. Apart from a brief spell of trouble at the hands of Graham Onions prior to tea, the 31-year-old has looked in magnificent form. With 11 overs to go until the new ball is available, Graeme Swann replaces Bresnan and Samuels collects another four through, you've guessed it, the covers.
4:38pm - A maiden from Pontefract's finest gets the evening session under way. Steven Finn takes the ball from the Pavilion End and is thumped through the covers by Samuels, whose scores for the series prior to this match read 31, 86, 117, 76 not out.
4:31pm - As Tim Bresnan resumes with the ball, I should point out that I have spotted England Under-19 batsman Daniel Bell-Drummond at Edgbaston today. The talented Kent youngster is working on his game with Graham Gooch.
4:29pm - Almost ready for the restart here. Marlon Samuels scored 50 of West Indies' 79 runs in the afternoon and appears key to any hopes the tourists have of posting a score in excess of 300.
Afternoon Session
4:10PM - TEA - WI 164/5; Samuels 50, Ramdin 1 - A maiden from Onions ends the session and England will be feeling much happier than they did at lunch.
4:05pm – FIFTY! Samuels (76b 6x4 1x6) - Swann has a long-on in place for Samuels, but the batsman seems unconcerned as he helps himself to a huge six. The next ball is crunched through the covers for four to take Samuels to 50. He celebrates by somewhat comically pointing his bat in the direction of Onions, with whom he has had a running battle this afternoon.
3:59pm - WICKET! Deonarine c Strauss b Onions 7; WI 152/5 - A simple one this. The hugely impressive Onions angles one across Deonarine and a thick edge is pouched by Andrew Strauss at first slip.
3:56pm - Deonarine is not looking particularly comfortable against Swann, but manages a single to bring up the Windies' 150.
3:48pm - A rare lapse from Samuels as he edges Onions short of Andrew Strauss at first slip. The Durham seamer forces a play-and-miss in his next over and is bowling superbly, maintaining an excellent line on and around off stump.
3:39pm - Deonarine shows that it is not just Samuels who can play glorious shots off the front foot. The returning Onions errs on the full side and is driven handsomely down the ground for four. Sweet timing.
3:33pm - The sun is shining rather brightly now and there is high farce in the Eric Hollies Stand, where several 'policemen' (remember, it is fancy dress day) are chasing a 'criminal' around, to the apparent delight of the spectators around them.
3:27pm - Narsingh Deonarine is the new man at the crease. With Samuels in great touch, illustrated by another couple of fluent drives through the off side, it is vital the left-hander hangs around to offer support to his senior partner.
3:17pm - WICKET! Fudadin c Bell b Bresnan 28; WI 128/4 - Samuels should find it easier to surpass Fudadin's score now. The left-hander gets into all sorts of trouble trying to fend off a short ball from Bresnan and the ball loops up to provide Bell with the dolly of all dollies at third slip. If he had dropped that one, I think he may have just walked off the field!
3:16pm - Fudadin earns his first run in more than half an hour with a long single off Swann to the right of mid-off. Samuels is likely to overtake his partner very soon; another classy drive, played with an open face, brings him a third four.
3:12pm - Samuels' driving throughout this summer has been of the highest order. After failing to beat Bell with a sweet strike into the covers, the Jamaican presents the full face of the bat to gain four more, despite Bresnan getting a hand to the ball in his follow-through.
3:08pm - That is lovely from Samuels, who gives himself room and steers Swann away off the back foot to the cover rope. A string of defensive shots follow, with both batsmen seemingly aware of the need to stay put.
2:56pm - There is an extended afternoon session today as we look to make up a small percentage of the 180 overs lost across days one and two. With tea set to be taken at 4:10pm, it is now time for drinks. West Indies are 110 for three, having struggled since the interval.
2:50pm - There is plenty of pace in this pitch, but, for the time being at least, the scoring rate is pedestrian as Samuels looks to play himself in. Fudadin is also taking few chances.
2:42pm - Tim Bresnan is back on in place of Finn, who conceded just eight runs in his latest six-over stint, which also featured the wicket of Bravo. West Indies are in need of a partnership.
2:35pm - As has often been the case in this series, West Indies have failed to build upon early promise. Yet debutant Fudadin looks comfortable in pulling Graeme Swann through midwicket after being joined by the in-form Marlon Samuels.
2:26pm - WICKET! Bravo c and b Finn 6; WI 99/3 - Finn finally gets a deserved breakthrough. The paceman has beat the edge numerous times yet the dismissal comes in surprising circumstances as Bravo offers up a simple return catch.
2:15pm - Finn is causing Fudadin a few problems outside off stump. Darren Bravo, meanwhile, has made a quiet start to his innings, although he has just collected his first four via a leg glance off Onions.
2:07pm - West Indies are going nowhere at the moment - just two runs have been added since Barath departed.
1:55pm – WICKET! Barath lbw Onions 41; WI 90/2 - Fudadin drives Finn square of the wicket for his third four, but Barath departs in the next over. Deserved reward for Onions, who pins the opener in front of leg stump with a full delivery. A review proved unsuccessful for the tourists and Bell can breathe a sigh of relief.
1:48pm – DROPPED CATCH - I am afraid Ian Bell is having one of those days. Adrian Barath is squared up by Steven Finn's first ball after lunch, but Bell puts down another simple catch at third slip. I think that was easier than the chance that went begging in the morning session.
1:45pm - A ropey old start from Assad Fudadin after the interval. He wafts carelessly at one he could easily have left alone outside off stump. Graham Onions then beats the bat again with a beautiful length delivery that moved away.
1:42pm - The Windies have had a number of good sessions during this series, but their problem has been consistency. Can they build on a solid platform here?
1:40pm - Play is about to resume at Edgbaston. I can only hope the England fielders have not taken on as much food as my good self during the interval.
Morning Session
1pm - LUNCH - WI 85/1; Barath 40, Fudadin 15 - I was about to tell you that Barath was looking increasingly comfortable, only for him to then edge a loose drive wide of the slips. That's lunch, anyway, and it has most certainly been West Indies' morning.
12:50pm - Fudadin's second four arrives in more fortuitous circumstances than his first, courtesy of a thick outside edge down to third man off the returning Bresnan.
12:40pm - Good grief, WE NOW HAVE SUNSHINE AT EDGBASTON!
12:38pm - A previously becalmed Barath responds by thrashing Swann over mid-on for six.
12:33pm - Fudadin collects his first boundary in Test cricket with a neat drive through the covers off Finn. England would love to grab another wicket prior to lunch and the off-spin of Swann is about to be introduced.
12:22pm - Swann only just held on to that catch, but all that matters is the fact he did. Assad Fudadin is the new man in, on Test debut, and he gets off the mark with a nudge into the leg side for two.
12:19pm – WICKET! Powell c Swann b Bresnan 24; WI 49/1 - Powell greets the return of Bresnan with a classy straight-driven four. Two balls later, however, the opener is sent back to the pavilion when an outside edge is taken by Graeme Swann at second slip.
12:16pm - After being discomforted by a couple of deliveries from Finn, Barath's eyes light up as the paceman over-pitches. The ball is duly driven past mid-off for the fourth four of the morning.
12:07pm - Finn almost makes the breakthrough in the first over after lunch as Barath attempts a flat-footed drive and succeeds only in getting an inside-edge past the stumps for four.
12pm - Barath sees out another over and that will be drinks. An admirable effort from the tourists' openers, who have taken the score to 31 without loss in the first hour.
11:57am - Powell plays and misses outside off stump against Finn on three successive occasions. The opener was unable to connect with a wild flashing stroke before being beaten by two fine deliveries.
11:51am - Another lbw appeal from the accurate Onions, but this time Powell gets a big inside edge and there is no review. Slow progress from West Indies, who are now 28 without loss, but they will be pleased not to have lost a wicket as we approach the end of the first hour.
11:42am - REVIEW - Another close call for Onions, who has been the pick of the bowlers thus far. Umpire Tony Hill delivers a not-out verdict after Barath is struck in front looking to leave. England call for a review, but the initial decision is upheld as replays show the ball would have merely clipped the bails.
11:38am - Steven Finn replaces Onions and begins with a threatening maiden, the fourth in succession. Turns out it is just a change of ends for Onions, who replaces Bresnan at the City End.
11:31am - As I type that, Bresnan bangs one in halfway down...
11:30am - Despite all of the rain in recent days, the surface appears firm and true, and there has been good carry for Onions and Bresnan this morning. Both bowlers are looking to pitch the ball up on a regular basis.
11:21am - DROPPED CATCH - Onions is starting to settle into his stride now and should have been rewarded with a wicket. Barath edges straight to third slip, but Ian Bell is unable to take a relatively straightforward chance.
11:17am – Bresnan believes he has Powell caught behind, but England's fielders show little interest in the appeal. The next delivery beats the inside edge and an eventful over ends with West Indies on 14 without loss.
11:15am - Kieran Powell punches Onions downs the ground for three, but is then fortunate to survive when aiming a loose drive at Bresnan. The left-hander connects with the next ball and finds the mid-off boundary.
11:06am - Graham Onions gains some early movement through the air in the opening over. Tim Bresnan shares new-ball duties and sees his first ball driven powerfully through the covers by Adrian Barath.
Pre-Play News
10:57am - The bell has gone and the teams are on their way out. It has taken some time but a cricket match is about to take place! We have 98 overs scheduled for today and play can go on until 7pm.
10:52am - With so much time lost, England will be eager to make a few early breakthroughs this morning. There will surely be assistance for the seamers, which will make it a big test for a Windies' batting line-up missing its most reliable performer in Chanderpaul.
10:49am - As we prepare to get under way here, it is worth mentioning the efforts of the Warwickshire groundstaff once again. More than 80mm of rain has fallen here in the last 60 hours and Gary Barwell and his team have not been home since the early hours of Thursday morning.
10:42am - Today will be a particularly special day for Onions, who has fought hard to get back to his best following a serious back injury. The Durham seamer is certainly in fine form at present, having taken 11 wickets in his previous LV= County Championship outing.
10:33am - England have won the toss and will bowl first. The hosts have left out Stuart Broad, so both Finn and Onions earn recalls. West Indies make four changes to their line-up. Chanderpaul has failed to recover from a side strain and is replaced by Narsingh Deonarine. Assad Fudadin replaces the out-of-form Kirk Edwards and will make his Test debut along with mystery spinner Sunil Narine, who has ousted Shane Shillingford. Tino Best also returns, with Kemar Roach having returned home due to injury.
10:18am - The toss will be taking place shortly. In the meantime, it is great to see so many people - players, coaches and broadcasters - out on the field. Makes a pleasant change from blotter machines and covers.
10:12am - So, given that this is effectively the opening day (some 48 hours later than scheduled!), there are a few questions to be answered. Will Steven Finn or Graham Onions - maybe both - be selected by England? Will Shivnarine Chanderpaul be fit to take his place in the tourists' line-up? And will I be able to cope with the demands of producing live updates after two days of occasional weather reports?
10:05am - That's right, the showers have ceased and, following a herculean effort from the groundstaff overnight, it looks as though we should be starting on time at 11am.
10am - The warmest of welcomes from Edgbaston. After two hugely frustrating days of rain, rain and more rain, we are finally going to get some cricket!!

When it comes to love, women show interest a little different than men do. Sometimes they're more obvious about their feelings while other times you don't even think they like you. This is due to the way a woman thinks. Some think that there will be judgment towards them if they show their true feelings. So if you like a woman, how can you be sure that they like you in return?
To find out if a woman likes you; you must study her movements. A huge sign to look out for is eye contact. If you are just getting to know each other then she may hold her gaze for a few seconds longer than normal. However, if you know each other well then she might lock eyes with you for long periods of time. This means that she feels comfortable with you and is trying to tell you in a subtle yet obvious way that she is interested.
If she is almost always smiling and laughing when you are around her, then it is likely that she is interested in you. Sometimes she just can hold back from smiling when you're around. Pay attention to just often she does smile when the two of you are together.
A woman with interest will also fidget while you two are talking. Many times this is due to the excitement and nervousness from talk to you. She may play with her hair in slow strokes or mess with her jewelry while you two are talking. Be careful if she starts messing with her hair in fast strokes however because this could mean she is just bored.
Another sign to look out for when you two are together is if she crosses her legs and her leg is pointed towards you. Sometimes she will rub her lower thigh or smooth out her pants to draw attention to her legs.
She may also caress her lips, neck or collarbone to send an "I want you" signal. Subconsciously she is trying to draw your attention to these areas to remind you that she is sexy. If she is constantly biting or licking her lips, there is a good chance she is interested. For one, she is trying to draw your attention to her mouth meaning she wants you to kiss her. Not only is she trying to get your attention but women's mouths get drier when they are aroused.
You may notice her raising her eyebrows during your conversation with her. When she raises her eyebrows, most of the time this can be a good sign that she is interested in you. This is especially true when combined with a smile or a nod. She does this to let you know that she is agreeing with what you are saying. When she raises her eyebrows after making eye contact she is also trying to tell you she likes what she sees.
It is also said that when men and women are interested in someone; their pupils will dilate. Next time you two are talking take note of how her pupils look. When doing this, be sure you are in a well lit area since darkness produces more dilated pupils anyway.
If you notice that she is taking on the same interests as you then this is a definite sign of her liking you. Is she starting to listen to your type of music? A big sign that she likes you is if she starts having the same interests as you and begins asking you questions about them. She will find any excuse to try and talk to you; even if it means teasing you a little.
You can't be completely sure if she likes you unless you ask her or tell her how you feel about her. But if she is giving you at least two of the above signs then chances are she is very interested. If you two are already friends then it is understandable if you don't want to say something in fear it will ruin your friendship. She may not want to say anything in fear that you do not feel the same way about her.
But if you don't say anything you will have to live the rest of your life not knowing what you two could've been. You only live once so take a chance now while you can.

Night Lies and Deceit Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Mrs. Schächter had lost her mind. On the first day of the journey she had already begun to moan. She kept asking why she had been separated from her family. Later, her sobs and screams became hysterical.
On the third night, as we were sleeping, some of us sitting, huddled against each other, some of us standing, a piercing cry broke the silence:
"Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire!"
There was a moment of panic. Who had screamed? It was Mrs. Schächter. Standing in the middle of the car, in the faint light filtering through the windows, she looked like a withered tree in a field of wheat. She was howling, pointing through the window:
"Look! Look at this fire! This terrible fire! Have mercy on me!"
Some pressed against the bars to see. There was nothing. Only the darkness of night. (2.13-18)
With her first prophetic warning, Mrs. Schächter attempts to awaken the Jews of Sighet from their self-deceptive optimism, but fails.
Quote #8
It took us a long time to recover from this harsh awakening. We were still trembling, and with every screech of the wheels we felt the abyss opening beneath us. Unable to still our anguish, we tried to reassure each other:
"She [Mrs. Schächter] is a mad, poor woman …"
Someone had placed a damp rag on her forehead. Be she nevertheless continued to scream:
"Fire! I see a fire!"
She continued to scream and sob fitfully.
"Jews, listen to me," she cried. "I see a fire! I see flames, huge flames!"
It was as though she were possessed by some evil spirit.
We tried to reason with her, more to calm ourselves, to catch our breath, than to soothe her:
"She is hallucinating because she is thirsty, poor woman … That's why she speaks of flames devouring her …"
But it was all in vain. Our terror could no longer be contained. Our nerves had reached a breaking point. Our very skin was aching. It was as though madness had infected all of us. We gave up. A few young men forced her to sit down, then bound and gagged her. (2.19-32)
The Jews of Sighet want so desperately to remain subjects of their optimistic self-deception that they bind and gag Mrs. Schächter who begs them to face reality.
Quote #9
And so an hour or two passed. Another scream jolted us. The woman had broken free of her bonds and was shouting louder than before:
"Look at the fire! Look at the flames! Flames everywhere…"
Once again, the young men bound and gagged her. When they actually struck her, people shouted their approval:
"Keep her quite! Make that madwoman shut up. She's not the only one here …"
She received several blows to the head, blows that could have been lethal. Her son was clinging desperately to her, not uttering a word. He was no longer crying. (2.34-38)
Mrs. Schächter's dark visions so anger the Jews of Sighet, who are trying to keep their hopes up, that they begin to beat her in order to silence her.

Some of these may have been mentioned.
No one hit kills, it will get spammed. Finishers should take 25% of you life away when at full health. That means you fought them and took the other 75% by actually fighting. (not walking backwards)
Give every move a counter, this will balance the game. I'm speaking about the force and sabers.
Default auto saber blocking off in the next patch. I hate seeing people block swings from behind that they never even saw coming. If the admin wants it he has the option. Make the auto saber blocking variable a rule so we can screen for it on and off with the All Seeing Eye server browser! I want to know if the server has it off before I join.
Allow us a way to make models of all heighths. Give us something to build on with animations. We have made wookies and Yoda. We will make jawas and ewoks too, but we need a better way to bring them in the game other than scaling them up like you guys did to the Augnaught(sp?).
Allow us to manually block a thrown saber! Possibly even give us a 45% chance to strike it to the ground with our sabers so they have to retrieve it or use force pull to get it back!
Continue to support this game or release the MP SDK so we can support it ourselves! Don't be another Valve.....

SOLDEU-GRANDVALIRA, Andorra (AP) — Tessa Worley of France fought off gusting winds to win a second consecutive World Cup giant slalom Sunday in the Andorran Pyrenees. Overall leader Lindsey Vonn was more than a second behind and finished eighth.
Worley led after the opening run and withstood a strong challenge by Slovenia's Tina Maze to claim her seventh career victory in 2 minutes, 1.80 seconds.
Maze finished 0.16 seconds back and chipped into Vonn's commanding point total with her seventh top-three finish of the season. Defending World Cup champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch was third, 0.75 seconds off the pace.

Here's a brief roundup of the major stories in film news for Monday, Jan. 20, 2014:
Producers Guild Awards picks two films as 'Best Film' -- For the first time in the 25-year-history of the Producers Guild Awards, the best Theatrical Motion Picture category ended in a tie between two films. '12 Years a Slave' and 'Gravity' -- considered the top contenders for the Best Picture Academy Award -- share the Best Film award from the Producer Guild ... which only muddies the water for anyone trying to predict 'Best Picture' at the Oscars. ... For anyone keeping track, '12 Years a Slave' has won the equivalent of the Best Picture award at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and from various Film Critics Awards in Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Florida, Gotham Awards, Las Vegas, Online Film Critics, Phoenix, San Francisco ... meanwhile, 'Gravity' has won the same award from Australia Film Institute and film critics in Central Ohio and Los Angeles (tie with 'Her').
Distributions deals inked for indie flicks at Sundance -- Variety reports Fox Searchlight will own the worldwide distribution rights to the sci-fi flick 'I Origins,' the followup film from director Mike Cahill ('Another Earth') ... according to the Hollywood Reporter, Focus Features has closed a deal for Zach Braff's Kickstarter-funded film 'Wish I Was Here' ... Sony Picture Classics has inked a deal for international distribution for Sundance's opening night film, 'Whiplash' ... IndieWire reports A24 will release 'Laggies,' the latest film from director Lynn Shelton ('Touchy Feely,' 'My Sisiter's Sister') ... the Los Angeles Times reports CNN Films and Lionsgate have picked up 'Dinosaur 13'.
'Ride Along' could set new January box office debut record -- The Ice Cube-Kevin Hart comedy 'Ride Along' is set to become the biggest film opening in January ever. The-Numbers reports 'Ride Along' pulled in an estimated $41.2 million in its opening weekend - a number which, if the estimate holds true, would narrowly pass the $40 million opening weekend for 'Cloverfield' as the biggest film opening in January. ... That said, 'Avatar' still owns the three best box office weekends in January ever.

New Orleans Saints linebacker Marvin Mitchell was fined $10,000 by the NFL for his major face mask penalty against the Carolina Panthers' Mike Goodson last Sunday.
Mitchell was penalized 15 yards for the face mask, which occurred on a kickoff return during the fourth quarter, which nearly led to a game-winning field goal drive for the Panthers.
Although it wasn't deemed intentional, it was still a blatant violation.

I'm solving the following equations, $$x+y=zw$$ $$z+w=xy$$ How many solutions $(x,y,z,w)$ exist, if the variables are reals?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Solving the 1st equation for $y$ and substituting in the second gives $$z+w=xzw-x^2\iff x^2-xzw+z+w=0$$ This equation has a solution for $x$ when $$\Delta\ge 0\iff z^2w^2-4z-4w\ge 0$$ It remains to check that it always has solutions for $z,w$. Therefore, your system has an infinite number of solutions all of which satisfy: $$z^2w^2-4z-4w\ge 0$$ $$x=\frac{zw-\sqrt{z^2w^2-4z-4w}}2$$ $$y=zw-x$$

College Hockey:Bina Propels Sioux To Exhibition Victory Over U.S. Under-18 Team
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Grand Forks native Robbie Bina scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime, to lift North Dakota to a 5-4 exhibition victory over the visiting U.S. National Under-18 Team.
The U.S. team came from two goals down in the third period to tie the game 4-4 and send it into overtime. On a 3-2 rush led by Sioux center Jonathan Toews, defenseman Bina trailed the play and rifled in a shot from the slot that beat goalie Josh Unice to give UND the win at the 2:36 mark.
After breaking a three-game WCHA losing streak last weekend, North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol wanted his team to approach the exhibition game in a businesslike manner. With their next two series at home against conference opponents Wisconsin and Michigan Tech, the Sioux couldn't afford to rest on the laurels of a 5-2 victory over Colorado College.
However, the U.S. team came into the game with a 3-4-2 record against NCAA Division I teams, including victories over Michigan State, Clarkson and Alaska, as well as two overtime losses against Michigan and Boston College. Behind outstanding goaltending by Unice, the young U.S. team gave the Sioux all they could handle.
Team U.S. got on the board first at 9:41 of the first period. Sioux goalie Philippe Lamoureux left a rebound off a shot by forward James van Riemsdkyk that was knocked in by center John Albert.
After failing to capitalize on a 45-second 5-on3 advantage, UND knotted the game 1-1 with a 5-on-4 power play goal by captain Chris Porter at 14:39 mark. His wrist shot through traffic from the top of the right circle beat Unice cleanly along the ice. The period ended with UND out shooting Team U.S. 13-8.
The U.S. took a 2-1 lead at 7:50 of the second period. Forward Jimmy Hayes broke away from a Sioux defender behind the net and attempted to jam in a wraparound. Lamoureux blocked that, but the rebound came to center Colin Wilson who put the puck in the net.
At 9:50, UND cashed in on the power play again when Bina's wrist shot from the point beat Unice through the pads. The Sioux then had to survive three straight U.S. power plays, including two 5-on-3 advantages. The period ended in a 2-2 with the Sioux owning a 23-16 shots on goal advantage.
In the third period, UND stormed out to a 4-2 lead behind goals by forwards Brad Miller at 3:47 and T.J. Oshie at 6:06. Toews set up UND's third goal by starting in the Sioux zone and weaving through defenders before dishing a cross-crease pass to Miller. Oshie went around two defenders and fired a wrister from the slot that beat Unice high glove side to give UND a seemingly commanding two-goal lead.
But the young U.S. team wouldn't be denied. They got their first power play goal of the game at 10:43 when forward Mike Hoeffel tipped defenseman Ian Cole's shot from the point past Lamoureux. Center Matt Rust won a face-off deep in UND's zone that went to defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, who blasted a slapper past Lamoureux to knot the game 4-4 with 3:23 left in the game.
Unice made some of his best saves in the last minute of regulation to preserve the tie, robbing Sioux forwards Rylan Kaip and Miller on point-blank shots. In overtime, it was Bina — the hometown favorite who returned this season after suffering a broken neck during the 2005 WCHA Final Five — who brought Sioux fans to their feet with his game-winning goal.
UND was 2-5 on the power play while the U.S. was 1-8. The Sioux outshot the under-18 team 38-29.
The U.S. is now 15-6-3 on the season and, on Saturday, plays the Fargo-Moorhead Jets of the North American Hockey League. UND, 7-6-1 overall and 5-4-1 in the WCHA, next takes on Wisconsin in a two-game series Dec. 8-9 at Ralph Engelstad Arena.

Remember I mentioned the "Special 301" list yesterday, that US corporations can use to place pressure on places where they find it hard to compete? Well, it seems that it's being used to get the US to attack states that prefer open source software - places like Brazil and India. I wonder if the US can get added to its own list?
Full of good tracks, this is a great free download if you happen to have a US-based Amazon.Com account.
