Late Middle English (in the sense 'repair' but originally not implying clumsiness): of unknown origin.
The first meaning of botch was simply 'to repair', with no implication of clumsiness or lack of skill. By the early 17th century it seems to have taken on its modern meaning, and Shakespeare's use of the noun in Macbeth (c.1603) makes this clear: 'To leave no rubs nor botches in the Work.' Bodge (mid 16th century) is the same word as botch, but always had the negative meaning. The origin of the word is unknown.

I'm currently importing a table from MYSQL to MSSQL. There's a column there for storing date, only it's stored as an number. When i import it to MSSQL i get it in as an int data type.
When i try to convert that to datetime I get an :
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
Since i'm using MSSQL 2005 I can't use datetime2 and fit it so it does not overflow.
Is there a way to trim that date stored as an int so it does not overflow the datetime format ?

– Joshua Aronson, New York University, editor of Improving Academic Achievement
"The Cambridge Handbook of Intelligence is an extraordinary achievement. Comprehensive, engaging, inspiring, and at times provocative, it leaves no stone unturned – no aspects of intelligence and its consequences unexplored. What is intelligence? Where does it come from? Can it be developed, and if so, how? If you are looking for answers to questions like these, there is no better place to find them than from the world-renowned experts in this remarkable volume."
– Heidi Grant Halvorson, psychologist, author of Succeed: How We Can Reach Our Goals
"...Sternberg and Kaufman brought together a group of scholars and theorists with the expertise and knowledge to compile an important contribution to the field of intelligence studies. This volume consolidates decades of research and theory into an accessible volume.... well-organized and coherent.... offer an excellent resource.... This book would be an excellent addition to the collection of any scholar with an interest in intelligence and a must have for new scholars in the field. I will be recommending this text to our university library so that it may be a resource for my colleagues and our graduate students."
– Professor Christopher A. Was, Kent State University, PsycCRITIQUES

How to understand building and planning regulations
What are planning and building controls? Why do they exist? Can you deal with them yourself or is it best to ask a specialist? As with any task, you can decide for yourself when you know exactly what's involved.
First of all, it's important to understand what planning and building regulations are. It's easy to think of them as restrictive, bureaucratic tools put in place purely to thwart your ambitions. However, they're essential safety mechanisms which have been designed to protect you, your neighbours and the local environment.
The regulatory bodies will give you permission to carry out your plans unless there are very good reasons not to - in which case they must explain their decision. And if you disagree, you have the right to appeal against it.

If you're currently struggling for a space in your home then look up. With careful planning, imagination and a little help, your loft could be an exciting place, giving you valuable extra space to the home you love.

With the battered economy still in recovery and many of the wealthy still reeling from investment losses, even some of the most promising startup companies have struggled to raise early-stage funding.
The problem of diminished startup funding isn't specific to Arizona, according to a recent national survey of activity among "angel" investors, who typically invest both money and time in companies too young or small to attract big venture-capital firms.
Still, Arizona-based angel investors at the Invest Southwest Capital Conference 2012, held Wednesday through Friday in Scottsdale, said deals are still getting done -- cautiously and carefully.
The conference, a forum for promising startups to show off their business plans to potential angel investors, featured 13 ventures and had about 200 attendees, said Jonathan Coury, conference chair and an attorney with the Hool Law Group in Phoenix.
Bill Miller, a Chandler-based angel investor who attended the conference, said one of the 13 presenters piqued his interest but that he only planned to invest if the firm was willing to structure the deal in a way that hedges his bet.
"I'm not as worried about the return on my capital as I am about the return of my capital," joked Miller, a former entrepreneur himself who has been managing director of investment firm R. Wesley Company LLC since 2004.
There are ways to structure an investment deal that diminish, at least partly, the risks an angel investor incurs, Miller said. Even so, laying down that kind of money on an unproven concept is always a risky endeavor, he said.
"I've had some ups and downs," Miller said.
According to the Halo Report, a national survey of angel-investment activity, angels are investing less and getting more in return than they did in previous years.
The latest report, released in September, found that the median size of an angel-investment round nationwide declined 21 percent in the first half of 2012, from the same period a year earlier, to $550,000.
At the same time, the value of angel investors' immediate stake in companies they helped fund increased from $2.5 million to $2.7 million, according to the report, a joint project of the non-profit Angel Resource Institute, lender Silicon Valley Bank and research firm CB Insights.
Angels rarely get involved in a company until it has survived the seed-funding stage and has a fully developed product, investors at the conference said.
And it has to be one heck of an impressive product, said Harry George, a Tucson-based investor with Solstice Capital and a member of the Invest Southwest conference's selection panel.
George said his firm only invests in startups built around proprietary intellectual property such as a patented device or process.
And it's not enough for a startup's product or service to be only slightly better, faster or cheaper than what's out there already, he said.
"The world does not welcome new companies," George said. "It has to be orders of magnitude better ... unless it's something totally new."
A product that good is referred to as "disruptive," meaning it will completely shake up its industry and send competitors scrambling to catch up.
George said his firm has invested in 44 companies, of which slightly fewer than half have failed.
But a simple tally of wins and losses doesn't say anything about an angel investor's success rate, George said.
"What matters is money in versus money out," he said.
Tucson-based REhnu Inc., which has developed a patented solar-energy generator that uses mirrors to concentrate light onto a small power converter, was one of the companies looking for investors at the conference.
Company CEO Justin Elliott said REhnu has proven that its technology works but needs about $8 million to set up a large-scale manufacturing operation.
If successful, the company would produce photovoltaic solar-energy generators that would cost less over their lifespan than comparable technologies because they would last up to twice as long, Elloitt said.
The power converters would be replaceable, and the rest of the system would last about 40 years before wearing out, he said, as opposed to 20 to 25 years for the typical solar-energy system.
But it's all hypothetical until REhnu raises enough money to get past the prototype stage.
"Really, what we need is capital," Elliott said.

More progress shots! After playing around with my previous Marker Comp in Illustrator I wasn't getting the results I was hoping for with my custom brushes and textures. I was creating a set of assets that were too cumbersome to use. It would be easier to use another medium or program to create the effect I was going for. Moreover I wasn't digging the illustration and composition. It looks a little too generic and doesn't have any style. So I created a new comp with some brush and ink. I like this one much better, it has a little more my illustration style, and it will make more sense to create Illustrator assets in this more comic book pulp style. Bigger version attached.

The CISSP is a 250-question, multiple-choice test. You have six hours to complete it. It's not like any college final I ever took, though cramming all of finals week into a six-hour session is almost a fair comparison.
I'm not a lawyer, so I've never taken the bar exam. But the multiple-choice MBE, which is a 200-question, six-hour test, might be a fair comparison.
It took me a little over four hours to finish the test. I was paying more attention to the test than I was to how many people finished before me, but there weren't many. It's not just a knowledge test; it's also an endurance test.

Hello! So the main thing is that I want to display the LATEST POST differently than all the others...
The LATEST POST has a thumbnail of 460x170 so its kind of wide rectangle.
All the other posts are 200x200 rectangle.
So the thing is that everything works normal, except that when I crop an image in admin panel; so that it previews better in the LATEST POST it actually messess the picture when it becomes viewed in the other posts (on the 200x200 size).
By default 200x200 images are displayed correctly (whole size and they fit nicely)
I tried registering new image sizes, but just couldnt do some soft cropping. So that for the wide image (the image itself would be cropped nicely).

Big pharma has done ph3 studies with thousands of patients, but the Prana's studies have only 40 AD patients and 100 HD patients including controls. To me it is a sign of confidence about the results they will get. Of course there is also money involved in limiting the numbers but the numbers are not limited because of money. Prof Masters told almost 2 y ago that when you have Pitsburg positive MCI patients and if you have a drug reducing 10% of the amyloid plaques you only need 23 patients to demonstrate it according the power calculations. In the case of a drug with 20% effecacy you will need only 7 cases ( he did not tell how long a follow up time is needed, however).
In the HD study the numbers are bigger but in fact we have 2 studies. preclinical and the clinical patients and even low dose and high dose. The number 100 is also based on power calculations based on some facts. (pilot cases??)
It is evident that in neither studies the power calculations are based only on imaging but also on clinical parameters. Prana seems very confident even with these small patient numbers in these studies and to me it is very positive.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
For a phase 2, considering the nature of the presumed MOA, considering a microcap that skillfully absorbed the dilution and had to harvest grants and private equity (Quintiles), a small trial still translated into meaningful progress and defined a dose response. However, with a minimal designed trial size, hitting the acceptable r values for trial endpoints can be jeopardized if pts drop out during the trial. As you know, SAE may not surface in the small numbers which can bite later on in a much larger Phase 3. Ultimately, it will be the phase 3 that largely feeds the NDA.
Does anyone feel there is risk with some PBT1 testing of some sort up to 1600 MG, that Prana's 100 & 250 MG does may show dose dependence, but be too little to show significance. Should that have considered a third tier, or a higher minimum dosage? Just asking because nobody else has asked this hopefully not relevant question.
Do the numbers 23 and 7 cited by Masters include control patients? If so, then we're probably safe with just 40 total patients in the AD study.
Prana probably had to do a balancing act to optimize the size of each trial, based on cost and predicted efficacy. Prana does not have much money, but at the same time they'd want to have a big enough study to provide statistical significance. If the study were too small and stat sig did not get achieved, the time and money spent on the study would have been wasted.
Sentiment: Buy
how did that work for celsion?
Sentiment: Hold
Masters tells : sample size 23 and 7. If you have not earlier lisned the video on youtube and you find it by looking professor Colin Masters. It is a bit old but not at all too old. Sample size is mentioned at 23-25 min.
Using two doses should once again give a very clear demonstration that the response is dose dependent.

it still charges $2.99
It's the app of the day for the 21st so it will show free after midnight(PST) ~5mins after this post
Still not up?
@rlapid2112: I posted there can be a delay! ^_^'
@metaphore: Close, you were about 8 minutes off. ;D
The free apps have had a longer delay before becoming free on the Appstore since the last Appstore update.
They updated the app because of all the people complaining about being charged for a free app (which AFAIK were refunded), so now, they show you the price and have you confirm again to download before actually being able to download the app.
The page is up on Amazon now, but it will probably still be a few more minutes before it shows up as downloadable for FREE directly on your device.
Its showing here in the pacific coast! Thanks! I have been looking for this game for Android for a while!
i got it!
Size: 74.1MB
Doesn't work on Galaxy Tab. Doesn't even let me download. BOO POPCAP! If PvZ runs perfectly on it, why not Peggle
Works perfectly on my Droid X2 (rooted) and my daughter's Samsung Continuum (also rooted). FUN!
@dsmall86: Try navigating to Amazon.com on your tablet. Click 'Get App' and it'll tell you that it's ready for download on your device (Your Amazon App Store account must be the same as the one you log into Amazon.com with on the tablet). Next, open up the Amazon App Store on your tablet, and bring up the menu. Select 'My Apps' and you should see Peggle down there ready for download.
source: I had the same issue w/ my Vegan GTablet this AM and the game installed and runs great after the above trickery.
Can anyone tell me if you can download apps from amazon with AT&T? I'm shopping for a phone right now, and i keep reading that they disallow "3rd party" apps not from the android store.
Peggle isn't compatible with the Samsung Transform. Heads up for those of us foolish enough to buy this phone.
@biggsavage: I have an Aria from AT&T and have the Amazon Appstore loaded. It depends on which device you have, and whether it's rooted or not.
Sweet, that trick worked for my nook color. Thanks!
Heh... I thought it was a pregnancy-test app...
@biggsavage: http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-brief/56057-att-customers-can-finally-use-amazons-appstore
@sykotek: Thanks for the post.. I've pretty much completely relinquished my free Amazon App posts lol...so I forget to check on 'em for myself quite a bit.
Moral of the story: I love me sum Peggle :D
Thanks again man...that woulda SUCKED if this didn't make it to Popular. I would been piiisssed.. But it did - and now I own it - so all is well.
It's still free.
So Amazon got woot and now they've successfully infiltrated my phone via an advertisement on woot.
Do I have to give my soul to either Amazon or Google or can I divvy it up?
HTC Thunderbolt checking in and working fine. :)
This is a great game for even full price, so to get it free is pretty rad.

No, no! Me, me! Hope to see you back here soon, Rob!
Rob is happy. Happy has been a somewhat alien concept for Rob since the passing of his beloved. I'd suggest that his desires be foremost and that his decision to absent himself be respected.
He'll overcome his guilt complex and still enjoy seeing whats the spontaneous reactions of people towards him taking this break of unknown and possibly infinite duration.
Absolutely, and I'm confident that everyone here on LuLa wishes him nothing but the best, I certainly do.Now on a more frivolous note,It's called AWOL !

Re: HP for DirectTV and phone company, dayum
The problem you are going to run into is that without a recorded record of the phone call there is no evidence of the promise made by the customer representative. And then secondly they are likely to say that the representative misunderstood the details of the question. The bottom line is that as frequently discussed on these boards is that service providers have a "permissible purpose" to check your credit profile for services ordered. Now if you were just calling to inquire about cost of service and did not place an order that may be a different argument.
The inquiries will remain on your report for two years but are only factored in FICO scoring for one year. And their relative importance lessens during the one year scoring time frame. There is no method to dispute inquiries with the credit bureaus and it is exempted from direct dispute with the service provider. Take it as a lesson learned and a minor frustration. There are bigger deals in credit reporting (and life) to be concerned over.

Skip to comments.Those Were the Days of Giants! Fasting and Abstinence in Advent and Lent
Posted on 12/14/2011 2:09:09 PM PST by Salvation
I was explaining to a new Catholic recently that the color purple (violet) used in advent is akin to its use in Lent, in that both are considered penitential seasons. Hence we are to give special attention to our sins and our need for salvation. Traditionally we would also take part in penitential practices of fasting and abstinence.
Of course, in recent decades Advent has almost wholly lost any real penitential practices. There is no fasting or abstinence required. Confession is encouraged and the readings still retain a kind of focus on repentance.
But long gone are the days of a forty day fast beginning on Nov 12. The observances were every bit as strict as Lent. St. Martins Feast Day was a day of carnival (which means literally farewell to meat (carnis + vale)). In those days the rose vestments of Gaudete were really something to rejoice about, since the fast was relaxed for a day. Then back into the fast until Christmas. Lent too began with Mardi Gras (fat Tuesday), as the last of the fat was used used up and the fast was enjoined beginning the next day.
And the fast and abstinence were far more than the tokenary observances we have today. In most places, all animal products were strictly forbidden during Advent and Lent. There were many regional differences about the rest of the details. While most areas permitted fish, others permitted fish and fowl. Some prohibited fruit and eggs, and some places like monasteries ate little more than bread. In some places, on Fridays of Lent and Advent, believers abstained from food for an entire day; others took only one meal. In most places, however, the practice was to abstain from eating until the evening, when a small meal without vegetables or alcohol was eaten.
Yes, those were the day of the Giants! When fasting and abstinence were real things.
Our little token fast on only two days really isnt much of a fast: two small meals + one regular meal; is that really a fast at all? And we abstain from meat only on the Fridays of Lent, instead of all forty days.
What is most remarkable to me is that such fasts of old were undertaken by men, women and children who had a lot less to eat than we do. Not only was there less food, but is was far more seasonal and its supply less predictable. Further, famines and food shortages were more a fact of life than today. Yet despite all this they were able to fast, and twice a year at that, for eighty days total. There were also ember days sporadically through the year when a day long fast was enjoined.
Frankly I doubt we moderns could pull off the fast of the ancients, and even the elders of more recent centuries. Can you imagine the belly aching (pun intended) if the Church called us to follow the strict norms of even 200 years ago? We would hear that such demands were unrealistic, even unhealthy.
Perhaps it is a good illustration of how our abundance enslaves us. The more we get the more we want. And the more we want the more we think we cant live without. To some degree or another we are so easily owned by what we claim to own, we are enslaved by our abundance and we experience little freedom to go without.
I look back to the Catholics of 100 years and before and think of them like giants compared to us. They had so little compared to me, but they seem to have been so much freer. They could fast. Though poor, they built grand Churches and had large families. They crowded into homes and lived and worked in conditions few of us would be able to tolerate today. And sacrifice seemed more normal to them. I have not read of any huge outcries that the mean nasty Church imposed fasting and abstinence in Advent and Lent. Nor have I read of outcries of the fasting from midnight before receiving Communion. Somehow they accepted these sacrifices and were largely able to undertake them. They had a freedom that I think many of us lack.
And then too, imagine the joy when, for a moment the fast lifted in these times: Immaculate Conception, Gaudete, Annunciation, St. Josephs Feast day, Laetare Sunday. Imagine the joy. For us its just a pink candle and a pondering, Rejoice? Over what? For them these were actual and literal feast days.
I admit, I am a man of my time and I find the fasting and abstinence described above nearly impossible. I am thinking about going meatless for all forty days, this coming Lent and am currently discerning if that is what the Lord intends for me. But something makes me look back to the Giants of old, who, having far less than I, did such things as a matter of course.
There were giants in those days!
Those Were the Days of Giants! A Brief Reflection on the Fasting and Abstinence that were once common in Advent and Lent
Could we do it? Abstain from meat on all Fridays (Acutually, it never changed.) or FAST from three full meals and only eat two with no eating in between meals?
Could we do it?
When I read articles like this I find myself thinking that I'd have a pretty tough time adjusting to life 100 or 1000 years ago but, by the same token, if you took the average person from those ages and gave them a modern job in a modern city, they'd have a nervous breakdown within a few days.
Mankind, in ages past, was able to obtain a great deal of strength from the slower pace of their existence.
God bless your parents. Same with me.
A fasting and abstinence ping.
Could we do it?
Many would be glad to slow down their pace of life during Advent. Worth trying? That's your decision.
Doing penence during Lent, no problem with that, it is the real season of penence, but Advent? I view Advent with great joy, we are getting ready for the coming of Jesus in the Divine Infancy. That is why I question the fasting part during Advent.
That is why the better color for Advent for the candels is dark blue, as a reminder of the longest and darkest days of the year.
Could we do it? Abstain from meat on all Fridays (Acutually, it never changed.) or FAST from three full meals and only eat two with no eating in between meals?
Could we do it?
I never eat more than two meals a day.
Blue isn't a liturgical color. Sorry.
I'm willing to try. I'll probably chew my fingernails off though.
I'm not good at fasting but I've been asking Our Lady to assist me in this since I do want to grow in holiness.
Fast and Abstinence
Good Friday and Ash Wednesday are the major days for fasting in general for those who have reached the age 18 and are not yet 60. Abstinence means no meat on those days for those who are age 14 [or over]. General canon law says that all Fridays are days of abstinence -- no meat -- but if you want to eat meat, you should substitute some other form of penance.
The US rules for abstinence from meat includes all Fridays during Lent; Fast (small meals, no snacks) + Abstinence (as in universal rules -- no meat) on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Since the Council, the US bishops have never specified a particular penance for the other Fridays of the year; but the universal law still applies -- therefore it is left to the individual to choose the form this penance takes. Since abstinence from meat is traditional (and pretty straightforward), many Catholics observe still this as their form of penance that is required of Catholics on all Fridays (Canon 1250). Many, however, entirely ignore the law of penance on Fridays.
The practice of "giving up something" for Lent is part of this same requirement in the penitential season of Lent, though what you have to give up is not specified.

When I read articles like this I find myself thinking that Id have a pretty tough time adjusting to life 100 or 1000 years ago but, by the same token, if you took the average person from those ages and gave them a modern job in a modern city, theyd have a nervous breakdown within a few days.

slower pace my backside. That is a myth. They big difference between now and then is people slept when it got dark and woke up when it got light...in general. Today we go to sleep 3-4 hours AFTER sundown.
Do not feel bad. To be honest, I have a struggle with the practice of fasting myself. That is why I keep it for Lent only, the real season of penence. I would rather just simply pray more and do good for others.
As I said, I just do not view Advent as a season of penence, but rather a season of great joy, because the infant King is soon to come.
In church worship, yes, blue is not used, but at home, for my own use, midnight blue color candles with one warm pink for the 3rd week of Advent is used to remember the long, darkest nights of the year and many years that a people who walk in the dark before the Light of the Christ Child came walked.
Ask if we could want to be holy, and to enjoy the fruits of holiness. Only some of us; only sometimes.
Advent is a season of sober preparation, looking not only to the Nativity but also to the Second Coming. The Gloria is suppressed in the Mass, and the Church reflects on her longing for the birth/return of the Redeemer. Austerity and self-examination are in order; joy can come later.
Tue, plus also life was much, much slower.
I take medication that MUST be taken with food (not aspirin) so I'm not able to fast anymore the way I used to. I miss it, very glad to read this article.
I look at Christ's coming three ways, at Advent, we remember his first coming as a baby, we look forward to with great hope at his third return at the end of the age, and the real second coming, each day of our lives when he reveals his great love and mercy for us.
Oh, I could do it. I could control my hunger and forgo food from midnight the night before until mass was concluded and I could get home. And I would lose consciousness from low blood sugar sometime around 9 a.m. Been there and done that.
Yes, my family do not eat meat on Fridays, not just Lent and Advent but all year. We do the two meal fast on Christmas Eve and Ash Wednesday.
Of course we can do it. Eastern Orthodoxy still fasts in both Advent and Great Lent. Yes, I have to do protein shakes to regulate my blood sugar while fasting.
no it wasn't
Myth? Name one thing the average person from, say - 300 years ago - would do on a almost daily basis that required the complete situational awareness, constant number of decisions and sheer stress as a one hour commute.
And that's just the start of the day.
I have no doubt that it is the Church's position, and I have no problem with, BUT what I say is a personal reflection.
You are a spoiled brat. You have no idea how easy you have it.
Much better question!
There are medical reasons, and I'm sure God understands that.
You should try operating the looms in an old New England woolen mill. A foreman stands behind you urging you and your co-workers to ever greater speed while you try to avoid losing a limb in the machine.
I'm sure He does, too. I just miss fasting, it was an exercise that did me good.
Maybe I was questioning the whys of doing fasting during Advent, when this Advent 2011, the penence/fasting was dealing with a tooth that has died on me, with all the pain and abcese that goes with it, plus dealing with being fearful of dentists because of past bad experinces and having seen a new dentist who is helping me ease back in getting the dental medical help I need. This new dentist was very good yesterday.
Now that what took place is behind me, I can be able to focus on really getting ready for the Lord's coming.
God bless you FRiend, with a wonderfilled Advent.
May this Advent be blessed for you too! :)=^..^=
Excellent post. I've never heard of fasting and abstaining during Advent. To me, it's counterintuitive and so even after hearing about it for the first time this year, I'm not fasting or abstaining BUT I'm adding Christ-centered things in. I'm so busy anymore hence why I'm not FR as much. My time is so premium but I became a volunteer because God does give the time back.
Prayer and fasting is crucial to our faith as JESUS always prayed and fasted. As HE mentions the power of it here:
17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Imagine to cast out demons and our sins ( the mountain), we need to pray and fast. It brings discipline and makes one very spiritually in tune. Very powerful.
Something GOD has me do quite often throughout each year. It makes us very powerful, loving, and aware.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (November 9, 2013) Supporters of George Stinney, a 14-year-old South Carolina boy who was put to death in the electric chair in 1944 for killing two girls, are asking a judge to grant him a new trial.
Stinney's family hopes the court hearing will show he is innocent.
The motion says Stinney was convicted on a shaky confession in a segregated society that wanted revenge against a black teenager accused of the beating deaths of two white girls, ages 11 and 7 in Clarendon County, S. C.
The request includes sworn statements from two of Stinney's siblings, saying he was around them all day the girls were killed.
Stinney was executed 84 days after the girls disappeared.
Records of Stinney's confession and other evidence from the trial have disappeared.

But they both have bigger personal problems. Lauren has been asked out on a date by the icy vice principal and...
30 Oct. 2000Chapter Two
Last week's bra protest has resulted in school unity. All the girls have decided to go bra-less in a show of solidarity with Dana Poole. The superintendent is breathing down Harper's neck because Lauren has rallied a few of the other teachers and they all refuse to get fingerprinted. Also, Marla, who is supposed to be on medical leave, has shown up for work, and Lipschultz, the man behind the bra debacle, has shown up on Sheryl Holt's infamous website - in a bra and panties! Meanwhile, Vice Principal Guber tries to regain control by meeting with Dana Poole. He ...

Elsewhere on campus, Lauren enters a stairwell and catches two student body presidential candidates engaged in a sex act. Lauren confronts the students - Peter and Susan - who deny any wrongdoing. However, when Peter later drops out of the election, it becomes clear that Susan's sexual favor was a motivating factor. On top of all ...

27 Nov. 2000Chapter Six
A popular and beloved teacher, Mr. McMahon, has a heart attack and dies at school. A close friend of the deceased, Principal Harper overcomes his own grief to help his students cope with the loss. To make matters worse, it appears that McMahon had been having an affair with a female senior, Karen Fitzgerald. While Harper struggles to deal with the incident's aftermath and maintain status quo, the students and faculty begin to fall apart. A defiant pupil, Webster, spits on Lauren and she vows to have him expelled. The case becomes more complex, however, when Harper ...
4 Dec. 2000Chapter Seven
Life seems to be one big lawsuit for Principal Harper. First, Mrs. Walsh, who was fired for spanking her students, sues for wrongful termination.

22 Jan. 2001Chapter Eleven
Coach Riley has a serious crush on Marilyn Sudor but is nervous about asking her out due to their racial differences. Meanwhile, Harper is concerned about the cheer-leading squad. They have been rehearsing for an important competition, but their new routine is extremely sexual. The choreographer argues that it's impossible to tone down the program, so Harper cancels the meet. Regardless of the consequences, Lisa and Buttle continue to tempt fate and continue their heated affair, and in an effort to help his kids discuss their feelings, Senate forms a "Suicide Club," ...
5 Feb. 2001Chapter Twelve
As Senate approaches the school grounds, he saves a student from being attacked by gang members. After numerous attempts, Harry finally manages to get the boy to reveal that he is a member of the Crips. Meanwhile, Harper grows even more suspicious about Lisa and Buttle's deepening friendship, so Guber takes the reins and alerts Lisa's parents about their daughter's rumored affair.

12 Feb. 2001Chapter Thirteen
When Coach Riley is fired for withholding information about Buttle's affair, he hires the best attorneys in Boston - Ellenor Frutt and Jimmy Berluti. Ellenor immediately begins subpoenaing witnesses, sending a message to Winslow High that she means business. Meanwhile, Lauren discovers that Harry had dated another co-worker, Jenna, before her.

Auckland, New Zealand Why? "Auckland is often overlooked by travellers eager to head for the stellar alpine and lake landscapes further south, but food, arts and exploring the coastal hinterland are all excellent reasons to extend your stay in New Zealand's biggest and most cosmopolitan city." Read more Auckland and Dunedin, New Zealand: the best readers' tips Jenni Murray's Auckland New Zealand's vineyards: five to visit More information at www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations Credit: AP 9. Adelaide, Australia Why? "While Melbourne and Sydney have competed for attention, Adelaide has transformed itself into the perfect host city. It has accumulated some of Australia's most popular sporting and arts events, including the cultural tour de force of the Adelaide Festival, the Adelaide Fringe Festival and WOMADelaide. The year 2014 beckons big changes for the city's heart, with the completion of the multimillion-dollar refurbishment of the Adelaide Oval, which will link central Adelaide with the Oval and its beautiful surrounding parklands, and historic North Adelaide further on." Read more Adelaide: right at home in Australia's 'invisible' city Adelaide, Australia: the quiet lure of the civilised south Oz Clarke's Adelaide Credit: AP 8. Chicago, USA Why? "The Windy City's cloud-scraping architecture and world-class museums take centre stage, but the real fun begins after you check off the masterpieces. Head to Wrigley Field, America's favourite baseball park, and sit in the bleachers, Old Style beer in hand, watching the woefully cursed Cubs. The ivy-walled venue celebrates its 100th birthday in 2014 with season-long festivities." Read more On tour with the Tate in Chicago Irvine Welsh's Chicago High times in the Windy City The world in words: Chicago Credit: AP 7. Vancouver, Canada Why? "Vancouver delivers on nature's eye-candy - visit, and you'll never be too far from spectacular mountain vistas, rambling evergreen parks and protected sandy beaches. You'll appreciate the big-city-look/small-town-vibe the moment you arrive at the airport. Situated neatly on the Burrard Peninsula, a hotchpotch of office towers and hastily planned condos compete for the best of some of the world's most expensive views, earning the nickname 'City of Glass'. People live here because they love to run, bike, swim, ski and play. Boredom is not permitted here." Read more Vancouver: the world's best city? Sea-kayaking in Vancouver's wild islands The world in words: Vancouver Credit: AP 6. Shanghai, China Why? "The buzz about Shanghai is electric: welcome to the city everyone wants to see (and be seen in). If China is the world's industrial motor, Shanghai is China's high-performance V8. The metro system - which ran to a modest three lines in 2000 - will open the 59km-long, high-speed line 16 by 2014; it's now the third-longest network in the world. Upon completion, the twisting 121-storey Shanghai Tower will be the tallest building in China, the second-tallest in the world and the jewel in the Lujiazui crown." Read more China: readers' tips Shanghai: a short break in China's old French Concession Credit: AP 5. Zürich, Switzerland Why? "What's hot in Zürich in 2014? Oh, just the chance to see the cream of world athletics breaking another string of records. In August the city hosts the European Athletics Championships. 'But, Zürich?', we hear you say. Can a city best known for men in suits and cheques with improbable numbers of zeros really deliver a thrilling city break? We say it can. With the liberalisation of the rules governing opening hours, locals are throwing themselves into nightlife with the same enthusiasm they show for moving decimal points during the day." Read more Zurich's best free attractions Credit: AP 4. Riga, Latvia Why? "Sitting at the crossroads of the great empires that wrote the pages of Europe's elaborate history, Rīga was - for centuries - a strategic linchpin in the annexation of important lands, until it was smothered into obscurity when the Iron Curtain fell. Today, with two decades of freedom (and a renewed status as Latvia's capital) under its belt, the city is reclaiming its rightful title as the cosmopolitan cornerstone of the Baltic." Read more Riga, Latvia: The perfect break Credit: AP 3. Cape Town, South Africa Why? "There's never a bad time to visit Cape Town. In recent years the city has received a deluge of accolades paying homage to its undeniable natural beauty. This year the city is destined to get even prettier as it takes on the title of World Design Capital for 12 inspirational months. Expect sculpture-lined green spaces, sustainable projects, and further regeneration of former industrial districts such as Woodstock and The Fringe, now the stamping ground of trendy shoppers and gourmands." Read more Cape Town city guide Eric Lanlard's Cape Town: My Kind of Town Credit: AP 2. Trinidad, Cuba Why? "Tiny Trinidad, sloping between the tropical foothills of the Escambray Mountains and the sparkling Caribbean Sea, is a sherbet-tinged, time-trapped Unesco World Heritage Site, bulging with the best of architectural and decorative wealth from the 19th century - Mudéjar ceilings, French porcelain and Carrara marble floors. 2014 marks the 500th anniversary of the city's foundation by Spanish conquistadors with a series of fiestas and cultural events."

The pièce de résistance is the Left Bank's new 2.5km-long car-free zone between the Pont de l'Alma and the Musée d'Orsay; floating gardens on 1800 sq metres of artificial islands and pedestrian promenades breathe new life into the once traffic-choked stretch."

He wouldn't get away with as much at HW where guys would be bigger than him.
At the same time though, reach doesn't just make a good fighter. I mean look at Stefan Struve. Jones obviously is a great fighter and has bteean a lot of great fighters like Shogun, Rampage, Machida and Evans
He looses his reach advantage immediately. Secondly Jones is hardly known for his power so how does he keep a 240lb heavy who's bigger stronger and taller than him 'honest'? His striking isn't exactly of a K1 or Muay Thai level so how does he hurt them? How does he defend the TD? Etc etc. At heavy there's far more questions. At heavy he just becomes the same as everyone else except an undersized tweener. Putting the likes of Rampage Shogun et al away is very different to facing a guy like JDS, Cain, Carwin, Overeem, Cormier, Barnett etc.

AbstractDuring this program, multifunctional (smart) piping system technology will be developed for used on the Airborne Laser (ABL). This system, which was demonstrated in phase I, has a multifunctional design with integrated containment and leak detection functionality. The smart piping system design uses lightweight materials in conjunction with integrated sensors to achieve an advanced lightweight piping system that detects leak progression of toxic and corrosive chemicals. The smart piping system will benefit the ABL by protecting its personnel and weapon system from the highly toxic and hazardous laser chemicals. Literature shows that exposure to chlorine gas at concentrations of 40-60 ppm is very dangerous and that exposure at concentrations of 1000 ppm will cause death after a few breaths. Another corrosive gas used in the ABL laser is ammonia gas which may be explosion under the right conditions, especially in confined spaces and if exposed to a intense energy source such as static discharge. Chlorine gas can be highly corrosive to aluminum and titanium structure, as well as, electronic circuitry. Phase I demonstrated that the smart pipe was 32% lighter over the baseline tubing (Hasteloy C-276). During phase II, further weight reduction will be achieved through design exploration and optimization.

Multi-dimensional imaging techniques involve the processing of high resolution images commonly used in medical, civil and remote-sensing applications. A barrier commonly encountered in this class of applications is the time required to carry out repetitive operations on large matrices. Partitioning these large datasets can help improve performance, and lends the data to more efficient parallel execution. In this paper we describe our experience exploring two novel parallelization technologies: 1) a graphical processor unit (GPU)-based approach which utilizes 128 cores on a single GPU accelerator card, and 2) a middleware approach for semi-automatic parallelization on a cluster of multiple multi-core processors. We investigate these two platforms and describe their strengths and limitations. In addition, we provide some guidance to the programmer on which platform to use when porting multi-dimensional imaging applications. Using a 3-D application taken from a clinical image reconstruction algorithm, we demonstrate the degree of speedup we can obtain from these two approaches.

Faith in the family: How belief passes from one generation to the next
On Easter Sunday three years ago, Vern Bengtson opened the doors of Trinity Episcopal Church in Santa Barbara, Calif., and felt a religious feeling he hadn't experienced since his youth.
"I was just struck by the sound of the choir and the organ, sunlight radiating through the stained glass windows, vaulted stone ceilings reaching to the heavens," he said. "I just sat down in the pew and started crying. I felt the spirit."
For more than three decades Bengtson had strayed far from his Christian upbringing in rural central California, where his father was pastor of a small Evangelical Covenant Church. A sociology professor at the University of Southern California and noted scholar on the dynamics of aging, Bengtson had compartmentalized his faith from his academic work until he began delving into how and why religion is passed down from one generation to the next.
"It's interesting and you could say coincidental that my religious reawakening coincided with this research project of intergenerational transmission" of faith, he said.
His examination of religious rebels and prodigals, cohesive and conflicting faith across generations and the role parenting styles play in transmitting belief from one generation to the next was in some respects an examination of his own life. And of the many lessons learned from his study of 360 families stretching across four generations, Bengtson said parents and clergy shouldn't panic or despair when a young adult leaves the family faith.
His team found the transmission of faith has remained remarkably stable over the past 40 years with six out of 10 parents with young adult children today who report having the same religious tradition as their parents compared to seven in 10 in 1970.
"There is a strength about religion that's not going to go away especially among youth. There is a life course trajectory by which a lot of young people leave religion and then come back," he said, referring to his findings recently published in the book "Families and Faith: How Religion is Passed Down Across Generations." "My hypothesis is that in the next decade or two you will see a resurgence in church attendance as baby boomers retire and return to church."
Religious transmission
Bengtson's first inkling that his generation felt differently about faith than the one before came as a University of Chicago graduate student in the 1960s. He recalled that he and a Mormon classmate were among the few still clinging to their families' faith traditions.
"We felt like strangers," Bengtson said. "Young people everywhere were rebelling against their elders. Yet in my family, my 32 cousins on my father's side and 22 on mother's side, all of us were still Bible believing Christians. So I wondered why is it that in some families there were so many faithful followers and in other families there was this chaos?"
The question led to a landmark research project that began in 1970 with 2,000 people belonging to 360 families. Bengtson tracked his multi-generation sample for more than three decades, which produced more than 260 scholarly articles and 16 books about the psychological and social impacts of aging on family relationships.
He asked family members about their religious beliefs and practices. But he didn't see much use for those responses until about 2005, when he took notice of other surveys finding a growing number of so-called "nones" — people who said they weren't affiliated with any organized religion, but some of whom described themselves as spiritual.
