McDonaldĺs is test-marketing (in Indiana) a Go Active Happy Meal that contains a main-dish salad, a bottle of water, an exercise booklet, and a pedometer (to encourage walking). The meal leans too heavy on the salt shaker, but salad and water is a step up from burger, fries, and a Coke.
And Burger King has launched its new Lite Combo Meals. Customers can order a (delicious) Fire-Grilled Santa Fe Chicken Baguette sandwich (shown above) or a Smoky BBQ or Savory Mustard version, plus a garden side salad (ask for Light Italian dressing) and a bottled water.
The meals deliver a hefty dose of sodium (the Santa Fe, for example, has 1,600 mg). And the baguette hasnĺt a crumb of whole grain. Even so, a fast-food meal with 430 calories and just three grams of saturated fat is a steal. Whatĺs more, BK lets you order a side salad and water instead of fries and a soda with any of its Value Meals.
At least both chains are trying. Guess no one thought of it before the lawsuit.
"Thick" is rightůand it doesnĺt apply only to the burgers.
The smallest (1/3-pound) Thickburger has 740 calories and 16 grams of saturated fat. Thatĺs roughly double what youĺd get in a McDonaldĺs Quarter Pounder, which is missing the Thickburgerĺs mayo and cheese (and some of its meat).
But apparently thatĺs just a snack to those Hardeeĺs customers who "truly want" the 1,090 calories and 29 grams of sat fat in the 2/3-pound Thickburger.
Want more? The 2/3-pound Monster Thickburger has two patties, three slices of cheese, and four strips of bacon, for a total of 1,200 calories and 34 grams of sat fat.
Two out of three Americans are overweight, heart attacks are our leading cause of death, and Hardeeĺs is selling 1,200-calorie burgers with more than a dayĺs saturated fat?
Just doing its part to make us thick around the middle and thick around the heart. Hardeeĺs must think weĺre thick around the brain.

Some details from "Minecraft PS4 Edition" have been speculated. According to a report from The Fuse Joplin on April 9, the next-generation console port may include several enhanced graphical features. One example that was provided includes a jump to 1080p native support for the new console for the open-world sandbox video game.
A majority of PS4 video games released so far utilizes the full HD resolution. This gives Sony a distinct advantage over the Xbox One in terms of visuals for third-party multiplatform titles. With "Minecraft" not being a visually-demanding game, the development team at 4J Studios should be able to include better textures as well as render at a higher pixel count on next-generation consoles.
Mojang, the original creator behind the popular title, also hinted in an interview with Xbox Wire that "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" may include bigger map sizes due to the inclusion of a hard drive for all hardware units. Microsoft released a special Xbox 360 unit with flash memory instead of a hard drive, which prevented the developer from increasing the world size of "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition." Bigger map sizes should also be added to "Minecraft PS4 Edition" as all versions of Sony's new console comes equipped with a 500 GB hard drive.
However, the PS4 port of the software product may not be coming out at the same time as the Xbox One version. Microsoft recently hinted that a release date for "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" should be announced in the relatively near future. Meanwhile, Sony Computer Entertainment has not yet disclosed any details on when "Minecraft PS4 Edition" will be made available.
The three Playstation ports of the open-world sandbox were announced last fall during GamesCom. "Minecraft PS3 Edition" was the first port to be released with a launch on Dec. 17 in 2013. "Minecraft PS4 Edition," along with the aforesaid "Minecraft Vita Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox One Edition," are still in development at 4J Studios.
The PS4 has sold 6 million units as of last month. The next-generation system was released on Nov. 15, 2013, in North America before coming out in other regions around the world. "Minecraft PS4 Edition" should be able to sell a lot of copies on the new console due to the lack of competing software and the potency of the "Minecraft" brand. Furthermore, the platform also includes video sharing features, which should strengthen the community of the open-world sandbox video game.

Brightstar takes over the distribution of the Nexus One to developers
Not long ago, Google announced that it won't be selling the Nexus One through its dedicated online store anymore. A short while after that, the last shipment of Nexus One devices was received by Google and almost immediately sold out.
And while the Nexus One is still available from Vodafone in some markets and KT in South Korea, those who wanted to buy an unlocked and unbranded Nexus One were left in the cold until a 'partner' would start to sell Nexus Ones for developers.
That partner turns out to be Brightstar Corporation, who has started offering the Nexus One in nine markets: Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States. Sadly, there's no word on adding additional markets in the future, and you can only order a smartphone if you live in one of those territories.
The price in the US is $529.
To purchase a Nexus One from Brightstar you need to have an Android Developer account, sign in, and click on "Development phones".
The Nexus One still ships with Android 2.1 preinstalled, but will update itself to 2.2 after you turn it on.
Accessories for the Nexus One are still available, for now, but only in HTC's European store.
Via Brightstar and Google

On my network I have an Ubuntu 12.04 server running Samba4, my domain is fully configured and functional.
Now, I would like to enable VPN access over the internet, and have another box to do so. I have been searching on the internet for guides and information etc, but have not been successful.
I have however found this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/51237/setting-up-a-vpn-pptp-server-on-debian/ but was wondering if I could adapt it somehow to enable access to my DC services.
EDIT: I would need to authenticate my VPN server with my DC, if that is possible of course.
Any insight would be wonderful.
Regards, Jack Hunt

Bruno Mars will have extra sizzle when he performs during the Super Bowl halftime with the addition of a guest appearance by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
According to an article posted Jan. 10 at Billboard.com, the Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter has invited the Los Angeles funk rockers to join him during his set Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. when he entertains at the U.S. football championship game.
RHCP had already been confirmed to appear in a pre-Super Bowl show in nearby Brooklyn, N.Y for WFAN's "Say Hello to Brooklyn" showcase at the Barclays Center on Feb. 1.
Mars is expected to make the big announcement on Saturday, during the Fox network broadcast of the New Orleans Saints play-off game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Nominated for five Grammys at the upcoming 56th Annual Grammy Awards, the "Just the Way You Are" hitmaker will be bringing his hugely successful AEG Live produced Moonshine Jungle World Tour to Canada in May, 2014 with upcoming stops confirmed in Ottawa, ON, Calgary, AB, Saskatoon, SK, Montreal, QC and Toronto, ON.
Details are TBA, so stay tuned!
Did you know? Bruno Mars recently topped the list of artists most pirated in 2013.

Apple anger: Our 5 biggest iPhone beefs
Well, Apple's done it again. The company has censored yet another app from its precious App Store, this time because it contained "objectionable" words. The app in question: a dictionary.

Even the greatest gadgets have flaws, and the iPhone is certainly no exception. Praise it all you want, but the "Jesus phone" has plenty of little annoyances or nuisances that get under a user's skin.
It's a wonder Apple sales folks aren't dressed up like storks when they sell you an iPhone. The storied device has taken on a life of its own, and iPhone owners cradle them like newborns.
The Google Android operating system is still in its infancy. However, HTC's latest smartphone, the HTC Hero, looks like it's got what it takes to challenge Apple's iPhone 3GS.
Palm Inc.'s decision to re-enable syncing to iTunes in its new Web OS update has an element of Palm taunting Apple Inc.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Vodafone Google Nexus One gets Android 2.2.1 update
The Google Nexus One smartphones sold in Europe by Vodafone have started receiving a minor software update. This will take them to Android version 2.2.1, up from 2.2 previously. This update is mainly a bug fixing release, as its name implies.
If you haven't already received it, your phone should prompt you that there's an update available at some point in the next 24 hours. The update is, naturally, over-the-air – you can download and update straight from your phone.
Here's the exact text of what Vodafone had to say about this:
"Google is rolling out a maintenance release for Android (2.2.1) and Vodafone Nexus One customers will start to receive alerts that this update is available to download over the air during the next 24 hours. This update contains bug fixes and security patches for Android 2.2.
Please note – this update is not Android 2.3, which was announced yesterday by Google. We're continuing to work closely with Google and handset manufacturers to bring the latest planned Android updates to customers as quickly as possible. We will provide more information when we can"
So there you have it. An update is about to hit the Nexus One, but it's not Gingerbread yet. Be patient and enjoy what you have right now.

Spoiler alert! We're going to talk in depth about The Emperor's Soul, which just came out, and if you haven't yet read it but want to, we'd rather not spoil it for you. The e-book is available here.
So… ready?
Brandon talks to us about the origin of the magic system, and why he decided it fit well for setting in the same world as Elantris. He also talks to us about the way in which he arrived at the ending, and how the ending grew very naturally from the early stages of defining the character.
We have fun comparing Howard's interpretation of a story point with what Brandon actually intended, and Mary talks about the structural changes made between the draft she read and the final version, a change that perfectly fulfills the definition of killing a darling. And on the subject of darlings, Dan asks about the fight sequence, and whether that really needed to be part of the story. Then we talk about some darlings Brandon opted to NOT kill.

INFECTIOUS HEPATITIS: The agent that causes human infectious hepatitis has not yet been identified but is presumed to be a virus. No vaccine is available. Administration of immune serum globulin (ISG)* to exposed persons can, however, afford a high degree of protection against infectious hepatitis. ISG substantially reduces the frequency of overt clinical disease, although inapparent infection may occur. After such infection, life-long active immunity is thought to develop.Patients with infectious hepatitis have been shown to excrete virus in stool as much as 2 to 3 weeks before and 2 weeks after onset of jaundice. Viremia has been demonstrated

If you're still saddened by the closing of Irrational Studios, no need to worry: Bioshock is still around.
In fact, for this weekend only, Steam is selling the Bioshock Triple Pack (1,2, and Infinite) for the total price of $14.99. That's about about 75% off the regular price! Bioshock 1 and 2 are sold separately for $6.59 each, and Infinite is $9.89.
If you're not familiar with the series, here's the lowdown:
- The first two Bioshock games take place in an underwater city called Rapture, previously owned by a free market zealot, Andrew Ryan. Rapture is basically in ruins because of a drug called Adam, which basically alter's a persons DNA. With Plasmids, you can shoot fire, ice, wind, bees, and even control a Big Daddy, a large mutated man in a diving suit that protects a Little Sister, a little girl under the influence of the Adam.
- Bioshock Infinite takes place a few decades before the first Bioshock in a sky city-state called Columbia. Columbia is basically a post-Confederate "utopia" in which all the non-white races are looked down on, and Abraham Lincoln is viewed as the devil, all under the watch of "Father" Comstock.
All these three critically acclaimed FPS games should not be missed. And at $14.99, it is a real bargain.

While glimpses of Stefan's humanity have been obvious for a bit, his comforting of Elena after Alaric's "death" was a massive step forward.
"Stefan's whole struggle, obviously, this year has been he's hanging on by such a tenuous thread for the first half of the season and then he lost his mind for a nice chunk in the middle, so he's been terrified of opening himself back up and letting those feelings in," Plec told reporters earlier this week. "And it's been a slow, slow permeation of his emotional life through the latter section of the season. And in this moment, seeing her at her most vulnerable, the support that she's been trying to give him all season, it's finally him saying, 'It's OK to feel and I've heard you all those times when you told me that. It's OK to feel and it's OK to have hope and I heard you. Now, let me give that back to you.'"
It's a sweet gesture, but as you may expect, it does make things a bit more difficult for Elena and her looming decision between the two brothers who love her.
"And all of this is just illuminating to this girl at this point in her life that these two men who are so important to her, that she has no one, she's lost everyone that matters to her — almost everyone — and how do you choose in a moment like that?" Plec questioned. "And in the last two episodes, it's really going to be about her asking herself that question and trying to understand how she could possibly let one of them go when she's already lost so much."
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Julie Plec on the Alaric Twist and the Triangle Complications.
While glimpses of Stefan's humanity have been obvious for a bit, his comforting of Elena after Alaric's "death" was a massive step forward.
2 Responses to "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Julie Plec on the Alaric Twist and the Triangle Complications."
Dara says:
So, remember that hug Alaric gave Elena a few episodes ago that bordered on sexual weirdness? Is this going to be some thing where she falls for Alaric now because he's a different Alaric? The dark Alaric that only Meredith knows. This one vampire she hasn't gotten to know. She was so close to his good side, but she wants to know his vampiric/dark side now. Or is my mind just crazy because this show goes to crazy places?
Elena with 3 lovers that she can't even choose one from. What a horrible task she faces. lol
Dara says:
Sorry, I am getting the book names and the show names mixed up. You're all probably wondering who Meredith is. I meant Esther. Sorry for the mistake. My bad.

Anyone who was ever bullied on the playground knows the emotional perils of being thin-skinned, and as we grow older, we suffer the aesthetic perils of it, too. Our supplies of collagen, elastin, and fat dwindle as we age, skin looks dull, and wrinkles form. It's all pretty discouraging. Researchers at Vichy discovered a potent sugar molecule that gives tired, mature cells the jump-start they need to start rebuilding collagen and reducing wrinkles.
HOW IT WORKS: Vichy scientists knew that the part of skin responsible for regeneration is the papillary dermis, located just below the epidermis. Their active ingredient, rhamnose, is a tiny molecule that goes directly to this layer of skin, binding easily to the cells (since similar sugars are naturally present in skin already) and triggering multiple anti-aging responses. It's been shown to amp up the production of several different types of collagen while diminishing the enzymes that break down collagen and lead to wrinkles. In company-sponsored clinical studies, the serum (which contains a potent 10 percent dose of rhamnose) reduced subjects' crow's-feet by 22 percent, forehead wrinkles by 17 percent, and undereye lines by 27 percent after four weeks.
WHAT AN EXPERT SAYS: "As we age, skin becomes more fragile. The epidermis no longer renews itself normally, so the epidermal layer loses its shape and flattens. Meanwhile, in the dermis, damaged collagen no longer gives the skin support," says Heidi Waldorf, director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. "The sugar molecule in this serum improves parts of the mechanism responsible for repairing this damage."

Investors celebrate as Cyberonics' neurostim device sales soar
Cyberonics ($CYBX) bucked sluggish sales trends elsewhere in the medical device industry and reported strong financial results for its fiscal 2013 second quarter. Investors reacted well to the news, driving the stock up more than 9% in late morning trading to $50.50 per share.
The maker of implantable neuromodulation medical devices to treat epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression said net sales reached $63 million for the quarter, up a whopping 17% from $53.7 million in sales booked over the same period last year. Net income also jumped, surpassing $13.5 million for the quarter, versus $9 million over the fiscal 2012 second quarter. Diluted income per share rose to 48 cents, up from 32 cents during the same quarter a year ago.
Company president and CEO Dan Moore touted growing sales from both existing and new products as helping to drive the growth, particularly in international markets. Cyberonics in recent months also moved to expand, with plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Costa Rica (it's second) and invest in other companies developing medical devices focused on epilepsy treatment.
Along those lines, Cyberonics recently invested in cerboMed GMBH, a German maker of an epilepsy neurostimulation tool.

Emma Stone [1] looked chic in red jeans and booties when she stepped out in NYC yesterday. She's back in the Big Apple after taking her new movie, The Croods, to the Berlin International Film Festival [2] last week. Emma wore a Gucci [3] dress to the premiere and a Stella McCartney [4] frock to the photocall, but she opted for a more casual style to run errands yesterday. Emma's relaxed look may have to do with the fact that she is busy working on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in NYC. Filming for the sequel began earlier this month, with Shailene Woodley cast as Mary Jane [5], Spider-Man's other big love.
Emma Stone [6] walked around NYC.
Emma Stone [7] wore Isabel Marant [8] boots.

A family called 911 after their angry cat trapped them in their bedroom. The story appeared in "The Oregonian" on March 10, 2014, along with a recording of the 911 call. The cat, Lux, can be heard hissing and screaming in the background. Lux's owner, Lee Palmer, told the dispatcher that he'd kicked the cat in the rear to get him off his 7-month old son, after Lux scratched him on the forehead. He also said that Lux has a history of violence.
An article on Yahoo! News via ABC news said that the family's son, Jesse, pulled Lux's tail before the attack. The news stories, when put together, are unclear as to what exactly happened. However, if it's true that Jesse pulled Lux's tail, that would likely have set off the initial response. Getting kicked just added to his fear and defensiveness.
The main problem here is Lux's apparent ongoing aggression, and what was causing it it. If Palmer's kicking Lux to get him off the baby is any indication, this cat was exhibiting a fear-induced response to punishment. Cats don't learn from physical punishment the way dogs and children do. Instead, they learn to be afraid of you, and they will usually continue the behavior in your absence.
If Lux had his tail pulled right before he scratched the baby, then this is what's known as pain-induced aggression. Cats tend to lash out at whatever they believe to be the source of their pain. We often see this at the vet when our cats get their shots, or when the vet's examining an injury or something else painful. Pulling a cat's tail also causes pain, and the cat can lash out in response. That's not an attack, it's a defense. It looks like this may be at least part of what happened with Lux.
Regardless of why Lux scratched the baby, the solution was not to kick him or spank him for it. If Palmer and Barker had gently pulled the baby away from Lux and left him where he was while they cleaned the baby's scratch, it's possible that none of this would have happened. They then could have considered whether to keep Lux and the baby separate, if they felt the baby wasn't safe with Lux.
People need to understand that cats are not people, and don't respond to certain stimuli the way people do. Unfortunately, when something like this happens, it's all to often that the pet suffers for it.

A canopy above a Valero gas station in Chico fell over during Saturday night's storm at East 8th Street and Bartlett Street.
The canopy over the pumps fell at around 6:10 a.m. on Sunday morning. Valero said that no one was hurt when the canopy collapsed and that there was no damage to the pumps--only to the ground and the canopy itself.
Valero has not yet released when the station will be fixed and reopened.

The SLR Compendium, 2013 is the revised edition of an encyclopaedic survey of the most popular camera style of all time. It is the perfect introduction for the novice user and is full of tips and tricks for getting the best out of any SLR, even the most geriatric example! For the collector, this is a determined effort to describe every SLR made from the Kine Exakta of the early 1930's to the modern digital type. In particular there is a detailed survey of lens mounts and an extensive list of rebranded models, identifying their true origin.
No collector should be without this book. It is not only the result of three years of careful and extensive research, it is a good read as well. Many common mistakes found on the web are corrected here such as claims as to which was the first prism SLR.
It's in the book! :-)

The group textile exhibition ALL: ONE had its artist's reception on Thursday May 9 at The Lamar Dodd School of Art's Gallery 307. Eight artists presented their work which ranged in style and concept but all of which commanded the large presentation space.
The artist's were present at the reception on the third floor which they they shared with the Scientific Illustration and Animation Exit Show. Meanwhile, Interior Design hosted their reception on the first floor of the same art building.
Typical of exit shows ALL:ONE was a bustling and crowded success in terms of public turn out. The work itself was both interesting and made a good example of what variety there is within The University of Georgia's Fabric Design department. Diversity for a a textile exhibition often means using different technical processes: weaving, dyeing, or finishing. In this exhibition there was a diversity of cross disciplinary elements. Fabric was displayed in many sculptural, performative, and creative ways. None of the artists in this show chose to produce practical fashions, yet in the case of Ashley Wills some of the work was, in fact, worn by models.
A conceptual twist is important to all of work on display, for example Aja Steele's quilts were the most traditional pieces at first glance. However, the encoded text within the quilt's pattern alluded to the psychological relationship implications of certain bedding.
Likewise, artist Christina Kosinski puts a spin on what you might naturally expect from car upholstery. Her sculptural car doors were not coverings or interior design, but rather colorful patterns of fabric molded into the forms themselves. This writer notes the refernce to "art cars" decorated in outrageous ways or "yarn bombing" in which objects are reclaimed in a type of feminist critique. Kosinki leaves interpretation partially up to the viewer, but admits the inspiration comes from a typical family obsession with cars. She calls her art, "Junkyard Casual."
Anna Hobbs' covered fairty tale sized books in a variety of candy colored covers. This artist combined her fabric creation with illustrations. The audience would be allowed to turn the pages if they were brave enough to touch.
Being close enough to touch Elizabeth Ogletree work would not serve you well. Her projections on hanging scrims of cloth required some distance to fully see. In fact, Ogletree's work was best viewed before the crowed arrived and in the dark. This was one of the small concessions that comes from group shows.
Equally hands off was, Erin Lawless' work under glass which mimiced body parts in non-literal ways. It may have been a matter of personal taste, but this writer was interested to see a whole room of these pieces or else a larger version of the different sets.
The work of Ashley Wills was the most unavoidable. In some cases, the performer models would sneak up on people in the gallery if they even tried to turn their backs nearby. Children were of course captivated by the colorful alien figures, delighting to take pictures with the wearable work. It wasn't only the children, though, because all ages couldn't help but smile at the decorated lattice work as it swayed and twirled.
The proud director of this group and program is Jennifer Crenshaw. This class of graduating fiber artists represents one of Crenshaws first cohorts of students. She succeeds Glen Kaufman who started The University of Georgia's Fabric Design after studying with Loja Saarinen at the genesis of the Cranbrook Academy. So, this crop of work is perhaps an illustration of the type of program to come in the near future.
But what will the future hold for these artist? Some are already working on commercial side of production, while others are ready to get out and start their own studio practice. Will Kosinki revisit her car doors? Will Wills continue with her work in the direction performance and costume? And what will Director Crenshaw have in mind in the coming years.

A fun wager is taking place between SF Mayor Lee and Charlotte Mayor Cannon on the outcome of the NFC Divisional Playoff game against the second-seeded Carolina Panthers on Sunday, January 12, 2014 at Bank of America Stadium.
Mayors Will Mentor Youth in Washington, D.C. During U.S. Conference of Mayors Meeting Wearing Winning Team's Apparel.
At the upcoming meeting of the U.S Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C., January 22nd through 24th, both Mayor Lee and Mayor Cannon will mentor young people in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
The Mayor representing the losing team will wear the colors from the winning team during all activities.
In addition, the losing Mayor will send a care package of local culinary treats to the winning city.
Mayor Cannon is wagering Carolina's finest barbeque pulled pork, and Mayor Lee is wagering Boudin sourdough bread and Ghirardelli chocolates.
"The 49ers are firing on all cylinders – the defense is playing at a whole new level and the offense is really clicking," said Mayor Lee. "I fully expect to place a Niners cap on Mayor Cannon's head later this month when we get together to mentor our young people and teach them what it means to share the good values of sportsmanship and leadership," he ends.
Both Mayor Cannon and Mayor Lee hope and expect that fans will cheer loudly, but that supporting the home team should always be positive and peaceful.
Mayor Lee counts on 49ers fans to frequent their neighborhood establishments to watch the game.
Additionally, Mayor Lee today ordered City Hall to continue to be lit in Red & Gold, and to remain lit for the remainder of the 49ers playoff run.

It is well-known that the braid group $B_{n}$ injects into the group of automorphisms of the free group $F_{n}$. However, there is certainly a kernel when mapping to the outer automorphism group $Out(F_{n})$. Namely, the kernel contains the generator of the center of $B_{n}$. Could someone please explain or give a reference to the fact (?) that the whole kernel of $B_{n} \rightarrow Out(F_{n})$ is the center of $B_{n}$?
Assuming we're talking about the same map and there's just a $n \longmapsto n+1$ mix-up, this question reduces to studying $Inn(F_n)$ intersected with the image of $B_n \to Aut(F_n)$.
An inner automorphism of $F_n$ is a conjugation automorphism, so we're looking at braids that act on $F_n$ by conjugation. Let the generators of $F_n$ be denoted $x_1, \cdots, x_n$ and consider the product $x_1x_2\cdots x_n$. The image of the braid group fixes this element (the image of $B_n \to Aut(F_n)$ is precisely the subgroup of $Aut(F_n)$ that fixes this element). But if $c x_1x_2 \cdots x_n = x_1x_2 \cdots x_n c$, $c$ must be a power of $x_1x_2\cdots x_n$ since otherwise $F_n$ wouldn't be a free group.

A couple found dead in a hotel last Friday is raising more questions than answers and authorities are still waiting on autopsy results to shed more light on the mysterious deaths. According to a July 27 NY Daily News report, a hotel employee found the dead bodies of Theresa Mateo, 34 and Scott Jacobi, 37, in a Staten Island hotel room on July 25.
Reportedly, the housekeeper discovered the couple while checking on them after they failed to check out of the Hilton Garden Inn on time. "The housekeeper went in and they were just lying in bed together. There was no blood, nothing like that, no signs that weapons were used," a hotel staff member told The Post.
"It's really sad. They were in their mid-thirties. That's young," the worker expressed. "Thank God we found them quick." The hotel employee, who chose to remain anonymous, said they were fully clothed and were cradling one another.
"They were having a run of bad luck," a relative of Scott Jacobi's told reporters. The relative did not go into great detail on the couple's misfortune, but he stated that he believes they had a suicide pact. It was also said that the lovers, who had been dating for about 8 months, were in the midst of a rocky patch in their relationship.
Although police can't yet confirm how the couple died until autopsy results come back, they say suicide by drug overdose is a likely cause of death. Authorities said there were no signs of foul play but an investigation into the case is currently underway. Be sure to return to this column for further updates on this tragic story.

I have problems configuring the eclipse ev3 plugin. I installed the plugin according to this site: http://sourceforge.net/p/lejos/wiki/Usi ... %20plugin/
Then I have to set the EV3_HOME Path. But I do not know how I can install the software. I downloaded the 0.8.0-alpha release but I think this is just for the EV3 Brick. Is there an extra PC Version for Windows which I have to install?

Municipalities may maximize the pollution control benefits by sweeping streets year-round. In northern regions, however, sweepers that use water should be put in storage at the first freeze.
An alternative waterless technology is available that relies on brooms to pick up leaves and light litter. The brooms are enclosed with flexible shrouds that prevent dust from escaping. A powerful vacuum fan creates an air stream through the debris hopper, conveyor, and skirted areas. The inward-rushing air carries airborne dust into the debris hopper, where it settles with the rest of the swept debris.
A long-life, dry filter element installed between the hopper and the vacuum fan prevents dust from being pulled from the hopper and blown out the exhaust fan.
Dry sweepers improve air and water quality by removing fine particles that if over-wetted would otherwise remain as a paste on the ground. After drying, that paste could be blown into the air or washed into the watershed. Dry dust control sweepers also are easier to clean because of reduced mud buildup. The additional dust control components increase purchase and maintenance costs, but these increases may be offset by decreased water cost, cleanup cost, and increased productivity.
Some sweepers pick up large debris such as mufflers and tires. Others concentrate on small debris that pollute air and water. Some city managers have found tandem sweeping to be an effective method. They send out a heavy-duty mechanical broom sweeper to pick up large debris, followed by an air sweeper.
The variety of sweepers on the market all work differently and offer different benefits, but an aggressive sweeping program utilizing any type of modern sweeper will provide positive results.

Feb. 27, 2000
HILLSIDE, Ill. -- The Tulane track and field program captured six event championships at the 2000 Conference USA Indoor Track and Field Championships, which concluded Sunday afternoon.
The Green Wave women won four events and finished third with a team total of 106. South Florida won the team title with 131 points and Houston finished second with 108.50 points.
Leading the way for the Green Wave women was freshman Theresa Maru, who won the 3,000 meters with a time of 9:54.40. Maru won the event by more than 4.5 seconds and posted her best time of the season. Maru also finished second in the mile run with a time of 4:53.28. She earned all-conference accolades for her efforts and was one of 22 Tulane team members to earn all-Conference USA honors.
Junior Hanna Ritakallio won the women's 800 meters with a time of 2:13.40. She won the event by 36 one-hundredths of a second. Ritakallio also finished fourth in the mile run with a time of 4:54.56.
Tulane continued its domination of the relay events by sweeping the 4x400-meter and Distance Medley relays. It is the third consecutive year that Tulane has won both women's relay events. The Wave set a Conference USA record in winning the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:43.44, and comfortably won the Distance Medley Relay with a time of 11:50.89.
The Tulane men picked up two individual champions, as Solomon Kandie and Jacob Busienei each won a distance event. Kandie won the mile run with a time of 4:11.95, while Busienei captured the 3,000 meters with a time of 14:42.84.
Tulane finished fourth in the team standings with a total of 82 points. Houston won the championship with 150 points and UNC Charlotte finished second with 114.
The Green Wave men also had runner-up finishes by Jamal Jones in the 55-meter dash (6.34 seconds), the 4x400-meter relay (3:18.23) and the Distance Medley Relay (10:06.70).
The Tulane track and field team will next be in action on March 3-4 at the last chance
NCAA qualifying meets.

People from all over come to this small pioneer community to wander the "Stand By Me" trail, which was featured in scenes from the popular Rob Reiner movie of the same name.
Brownsville is home to the Linn County Museum, which shares the story of early settlers and Native Americans who lived in the valley in the mid 1800s. Vignettes in this facility help to tell of life on the Oregon Trail, and the relationship between the local Calapooia tribe and the new settlers.
Be sure to stop by the Living Rock Museum, whose building is made from agates, crystals, quartz, obsidian and other types of rock found in the area.
Take the family on the "Over the Rivers and Through the Woods" Scenic Byway. This 66-mile route will take you through the valley's rich
farmlands and into the beautiful Cascade Mountains.
Brownsville is located in Willamette Valley, the agricultural heart of Oregon where family farms grow everything from blueberries and hazelnuts to Christmas trees and tulips and some of the world's best pinot noir.
Nearby cities are: Lebanon, Albany, Junction City, and Corvallis.

We are not even halfway through summer and already at least seventeen young children are believed to have died of vehicular heatstroke in the United States.
Vehicles heat up quickly in warm weather, and many parents are unaware of how quickly cars can become dangerously hot. Two of the deaths occurred when the temperatures were in the 70's -- one day when it was only 73 degrees.
The nonprofit organization Kids and Cars explains, "A child's body temperature rises 3‐5 times faster than an adult's. Even with the windows partially down, the temperature inside a parked car can reach 125 degrees in just minutes."
The following children's deaths have been linked to vehicular hyperthermia so far this year:
- Derrick Holmom (5 years old) Port Huron, MI 07/11/14
- Benjamin Seitz (15 months old) Ridgefield, CT 07/07/14
- Hailey Marie Harper (2 years old) El Paso, TX 07/06/14
- Logan Cox (3 years old) Lancaster, SC 07/03/14
- Cooper Harris (22 months old) Cobb County, GA 06/18/14
- Anna Marie Lillie (9 months old) Rockledge, FL 06/16/14
- Mason Ryan Wood (2 months old) Ardmore, OK 06/12/14
- Bella Lindstrom (4 years old) Flint, TX 06/10/14
- Alejandra Hernandez (2 years old) Sarasota, FL 06/08/14
- Sophia Lea Marie Lyon (15 months old) Dolgeville, NY 06/04/14
- Jeremiah Kennedy (13 months old) Florence, SC 05/25/14
- Logan Jacobs (5 years old) Princeton, IL 05/25/14
- Julius Meh (2 years old) Clarkston, GA 05/12/14
- Sophia Goyeneche (13 months old) Hartsville, SC 05/08/14
- Fernando Velasquez (5 years old) Bakersfield, CA 04/29/14
- Aurora Hollingsworth (17 months) North Richland Hills, TX 04/22/14
- Giovanni Hernandez (9 months) San Jose, CA 04/16/14
Note that four deaths have occurred so far in July. Six deaths occurred in June, four deaths in May, and three deaths in April.
The children's ages ranged from a two month-old infant who was forgotten in a car by a relative to a five year-old boy with Down's Syndrome who police believe climbed into the car to play and succumbed from the heat.
Think this could never happen to you? Gene Weingarten wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning article for the Washington Post profiling some parents who forgot their children in cars. It's a long read and heart-breaking at times, but it gives important insight into how these tragedies keep happening month after month.
Weingarten pointes out:
What kind of person forgets a baby?
The wealthy do, it turns out. And the poor, and the middle class. Parents of all ages and ethnicities do it. Mothers are just as likely to do it as fathers. It happens to the chronically absent-minded and to the fanatically organized, to the college-educated and to the marginally literate. In the last 10 years, it has happened to a dentist. A postal clerk. A social worker. A police officer. An accountant. A soldier. A paralegal. An electrician. A Protestant clergyman. A rabbinical student. A nurse. A construction worker. An assistant principal. It happened to a mental health counselor, a college professor and a pizza chef. It happened to a pediatrician. It happened to a rocket scientist.
Kids and Cars suggests that parents remember the acronym BE SAFE:
Back seat: Put something in the back seat whenever you strap a child in, so you have to open the back door, or at least turn around to find that item, when you get out of the car. Your handbag or briefcase, cellphone or employee badge.
Every child should be correctly restrained in the back seat.
Stuffed animal: Keep a brightly colored one in the car seat when your child isn't there. Then move it from the car seat to the front seat after you strap your child in, to remind you when your baby is in the back seat.
Ask your baby sitter or child-care provider to call you within 10 minutes if your child hasn't arrived on time.
Focus on driving: Avoid cellphone calls and text-messaging while driving.
Every time you park your vehicle -- every single time -- open the back door to make sure no one has been left behind.

March 23, 2013
TUCSON - University of Arizona football continued its spring practice season with a workout on Sat., March 23, at Kindall Field/Sancet Stadium. In head coach Rich Rodriguez's second spring with the Wildcats, the squad dressed in full pads for the fourth time for a 90-minute practice on Saturday with a majority spent in game-like scrimmage situations. Below is a brief transcript of Rodriguez's remarks following practice.
On his impression of today's scrimmage:
"We were a little ragged at times. We had some good moments and B.J. (Denker) executed well but defensively we didn't play as well as we had been in other practices. There was some good and some bad but I'll have to watch the film and get a better evaluation. As much fundamental work as we need, sometimes you have to just let them play, which is what we did today."
On the offensive rhythm:
"It's not flowing as fast as I'd like but some of it is injury related. It's flowing better than it was this time last year but we don't have Matt (Scott) this year. We got spoiled with Matt but B.J. (Denker) played very well today as well as some of the other quarterbacks."
On getting through scrimmages healthy:
"As a head coach, half the things I worry about is getting through the scrimmage healthy with no injuries. You don't want to limit the guys' aggressiveness and physicalness because we have to be a more aggressive team on both sides but especially on defense."
On the connection between Johnny Jackson and B.J. Denker:
"Johnny Jackson is a good football player. He played quite a bit last year before he got hurt but he just happened to be open a lot based on the way the defense was playing the offense. His eye discipline was good and he seemed to feel pretty good."
On the quarterbacks' performance:
"B.J. (Denker) has had some experience so he played pretty well today. Nick (Isham) has a good understanding of what we're doing and Javelle (Allen) has gotten better but he still has some work to do. Coach (Rod) Smith has done a good job coaching them this spring."
On looking forward to the future:
"We really have only installed half the offense but we will probably put a couple more things in. The week of the spring game we won't install anything on offense or defense and we will only have practice one day and let the players have some fun in front of their friends and family on the day of the scrimmage."

Guangzhou Evergrande Thumps Kashiwa Reysol
Guangzhou Evergrande has one foot in the Asian Champions League soccer final after thrashing Kashiwa Reysol 4-1 in the first leg of the semifinal in Japan on Wednesday.
Cléverson Gabriel Córdova, known as Cléo, opened the scoring for Kashiwa Reysol in the tenth minute, but a flood of goals in the second half turned the match in favor of the Chinese team. Brazilian striker Muriqui opened the scoring for Guangzhou Evergrande on 58 minutes and bagged another in injury time. Dario Conca and Elkeson de Oliveira Cardoso also scored.
The result leaves the Chinese team on the verge of its first Asian Champions League final. Guangzhou Evergrande made its debut in the tournament last year but was knocked out in the quarterfinal.
Kashiwa Reysol would need something of a miracle in the second leg on Oct. 2 to stop Guangzhou Evergrande becoming the first Chinese team to reach the final of the continental club championship since Dalian Wanda in 1998, in a different incarnation of the competition.
Italy's 2006 World Cup winning coach Marcello Lippi is also in position to make history. If Guangzhou Evergrande goes on to win the tournament, the Italian would become the first person to lead a team to Champions League titles in both Europe and Asia. He won the European tournament with Juventus in 1996.
There is still some way to go, but Mr. Lippi's team is in fine form after beating Qatari side Lekhwiya 6-1 over two legs in the quarterfinal, with goals again coming from prolific Brazilian pair Muriqui and Elkeson and Argentine midfielder Conca.
In Wednesday's other semifinal, F.C. Seoul beat Iranian team Esteghlal 2-0 in the South Korean capital, with goals from Yo-han Go and Dejan Damjanovic.
