RUSE PC played with Kinect, future mere moments away
Evoluce, a German multi-touch display manufacturer, has used a Kinect hack to play the PC version RUSE with nothing more than gestures. Does it work? Yes, it does.
Watch the video below.
The right hand controls cursor movement, with the left hand being introduced as a left mouse button command for unit selection, giving orders, and so forth.
There's no doubt that this guy is properly playing an RTS, precision movements and all, using his hands in the air.
Watch and see. Nice to see Kinect hacks being used for actual games, rather than controlling a metal donkey, or whatever.

I'm trying to setup a couple of Virtual Host files on my Localhost PC running Fedora Core 15.
Now I get this working, but now onloy one Virtual Host site works, and if I type in 127.0.0.1/test/testApp.php which is not related to the Virtual Host site , I get redirected to the Virtual Host site.
Here's what I did.
- I created a new folder called virtualhosts in /etc/httpd/ where all my host files are stored in the following format site.conf
- In /etc/conf/httpd.conf I enabled
NameVirtualHost *:80and included the host files at the bottom of the config page like this
Include virtualhosts/*.conf
- In /etc/hosts I added the line 127.0.0.1 website
No when I run
sudo httpd -t I get Syntax OK
I restart apache and then the Virtualhost works, but as soon as I add other hosts and only use 127.0.0.1 as above it still links to the original host.
Am I doing anything wrong here or left out something?
An example of my Virtual Host file looks like this
<VirtualHost *:80>

Guy Madison: A Hollywood God For Your Delectation
In the 1940s and 50s, Guy Madison was a genial but negligible actor with an amazing body of work, as it were.
Films like Since You Went Away and Till The End of Time were made that much more watchable whenever Guy's physical perfection and shy smile entered the frame.
Thanks to reader Greogry Moore, I've run mouth-watering montages of Guy before, but this one--also courtesy of Gregory--is easily the most aesthetically sublime yet.
In color, Guy is even better looking than without it, He's so impressive, in fact, that you have to just envy that dog that got between his legs.

These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time.

(Dothan, AL)--Alabama legislators approved a tax free holiday weekend for storm supplies. The law exempts storm supplies, including batteries, flashlights, coolers and weather radios, from July 6th to the 8th.
The law also allows county and municipalities to decide if they want to remove their local taxes. Dothan and City Commissioners are on board with the state's plan, but are unsure if they want to implement the law locally.
"We don't know the economic impact this plan could have on our area," Houston County Commissioner Chairman Mark Culver said. "We will be looking at all aspects before finalizing our decision, but in the meantime, we do want people to go out and take advantage of this holiday weekend," he said.
The covered items by the state must cost $60 or less, except generators, which are also covered if the cost is below $1,000 dollars.
Cities and counties within Alabama have until the end of the month to decide on whether or not to exempt local taxes for the holiday.

These were great. I will definitely make again.
We really enjoyed these. I did have a bit of a challenge getting mine to stay together but it doesn't matter because they taste great. I had about 3/4 cup of feta and 1/4 cup of cheddar. Mine baked in 11 minutes; bottoms were done. I did not garnish with sesame seeds. Thanks Kate! Made for win in The Best of 2008 Cookbook Swap.
Delicious! After getting KateL's permission, I used frozen puff pastry dough. I did get all but two of mine to stick together, and I didn't use water. These were delicious, and I think the puff pastry made them extra light and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again! Thanks for posting the recipe. Made for Zaar 123-4 Tag!

Microstatestate. Fiji, Monaco and San Marino are all microstates.
In terms of population the most extreme example is the Pitcairn Islands, with ca. 47 inhabitants. It is considered a separate country, though a dependent area of the United Kingdom.
The term microstate is sometimes used as a synonym for micronation. The distinction is that micronations are not generally recognised as sovereign states except by other micronations.
See also: List of countries by population and List of countries by area.
Microstate is also used in thermodynamics to refer to a specific configuration of particles of a material: see microstate (thermodynamics).

Alert for H7N9 birdflu virus after deaths in China
The Public Health Department has set up nationwide surveillance for H7N9 bird-flu virus after three people in China were infected and two of them died.
The system includes a lab test for confirmation, Surveillance Rapid Response Teams (SRRTs) and a check at hospitals around the country for patients with symptoms similar to severe pneumonia and flu, Public Health Minister Pradit Sinthawanarong said Monday.
So far, no suspects have been found and there have been no reports of H5N1 bird-flu cases over the past five years. The Bureau of Epidemiology would also work with related agencies inside and outside the country on this alert.

Working with patient groups
In the UK, we have a long-standing history of working with patient groups helping people in specific disease areas.
To help patients get the most from our medicines, we share knowledge and collaborate with patient groups and health charities.
Providing patient representative bodies with up-to-date and accurate information about our medicines is one of our core responsibilities.
Charitable donations and sponsorship to organisations that drive healthcare innovations and benefit the NHS and its patients are also key features of our approach to patient support. We partner with a number of patient organisations, across a variety of activities.
AstraZeneca signs a transparency agreement with each patient group, agreeing the principles of their interactions.
Some key charities we've supported over the years include Macmillan Cancer Support and Cancer Research UK, HEART UK, mental health charities SANE and the National Schizophrenia Fellowship, as well as Dr Barnados and the NSPCC.

BLUF: Speed and defense carry the profile and questions remains with the bat.
The Player: Andrew Toles (OF, Tampa Bay Rays) – Selected in the fourth round by the Marlins in 2010 but did not sign, attending Tennessee instead. Picked in the third round this year by the Rays after transferring to Chipola JC. Hit .281/.327/.482 for Princeton in the Appalachian League after signing, including 13 doubles, three triples, seven home runs and 14 stolen bases.
Basis of Report: Compilation – Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (5-10, 185): Smaller. Athletic, live body. Premium level athlete. Excellent physical bloodlines. Explosive. Fast-twitch ability. Can be exhilarating to watch. Physically gifted kid. Lacks ideal size but explosive athleticism is hard to ignore.
Hit: Bat speed is evident in BP and game situations. Short, compact swing that snaps through the zone. Gets out front at times, particularly when substantial leg kick (trigger) is off timing. Chokes up on the bat at all times which lends to added barrel control. Able to fight off pitches he can't drive because of barrel control. Gets pull happy at times and needs to use entire field. Short game could use some work and help on-base ability. Approach is raw and he will chase, leading to weaker contact. More of a slappy swing but has some strength in it; enough to find the gaps. Has to improve pitch recognition and tracking to allow for more solid contact. With more solid contact, could be an above-average to plus hitter, but that projection is tough to have high confidence in. Believe approach will ultimately get in the way. Grade – 20/40
Power: Not part of his game. Solid strength but more of a slappy swing that is geared for the gaps at best. Maybe 30-grade game power at peak with doubles and triples coming largely because of speed. Grade (raw power) – 20/30
Arm: Solid-average arm with good release and improving accuracy. Plenty for CF. Will show occasional throw with better velocity but lacking consistency/accuracy. Grade – 50/50
Fielding: Potential to be a quality defender. Routes and jumps need work but are often masked by excellent closing speed. Running ability plays well gap-to-gap and could allow him to be a plus defender. Has improved his jumps since playing at Tennessee and should continue to see more gains with repetition. Should stay up the middle with the speed to impact the game defensively even if development of instincts stagnates. Grade – 50/60
Speed: Excellent runner. Best tool. Stands out in all phases of the game. Gets out of the box and down the line very quickly. Has shown sub-3.9 times to first on occasion but more consistently sub-4.0. Can fly in the outfield. Impact speed on both sides of the ball. Athleticism and explosiveness will allow speed to be maintained.Grade – 70/70
Summation: Bloodlines and athleticism are legit. Highly athletic. Explosive abilities. Speed is best tool and can impact offense and defense. Aggressive base runner that must pick spots better. If instincts come in the OF, speed could make him a Gold Glove candidate in CF. Can go get it and has an average arm that is enough for the position. Power is non-existent but may develop some gap power, particularly as he matures as a hitter and finds more balls he can drive. Serious questions about the hitting ability developing enough for the speed and defense to matter. Pitch recognition lags behind significantly, leading to lots of weak contact. Needs to drive the ball more and take a better approach to at-bats. Little evidence of hit tool developing in any significant way. Plays hard and works hard but scouts cite dismissal from Tennessee baseball team and benching at Chipola as cause to be wary of overall makeup. Has impact defensive potential but lacks offensive profile for a full-time role. Possible bench outfielder.
Relative Risk: High. Very little confidence in hitting projection. Speed and defense can't carry the profile.
Future: Will move slowly. Could spend next season in the NYPL with a slim chance at heading to Low-A next year with a big spring. Could see both levels next year and move a level at a time after that if things go smoothly. Probably not a viable big-league prospect until late I the 2016 season, maybe 2017.

The Rise of the "Ghost Cities" Should Scare You to Death
I recently sat down with Harry Dent, the Founder of Dent Research, to discuss his new book, Demographic Cliff: How to Survive and Prosper During the Great Deflation of 2014-2019.
As the title suggests, Harry predicts that a bout of deflation will hit this year. And he expects it to lead to an even bigger crash than what we saw in 2008.
A bold claim, for sure. Yet when I asked him to back it up, he unloaded an endless stream of eye-opening – and frankly, terrifying – stats.
Here's one of the worst…
According to Harry, four cycles he tracks closely haven't all been in a downtrend "anytime in the last century – except for 1930-1934." Yet they're all about to turn south this year.
He also revealed one sector that's "never going to be the same," and what this "zero-return investment" means for your financial future.
Oh, and you won't want to miss what he has to say about how China's "Ghost Cities" are creating the "greatest bubble in history."

I have a book that explains the over all binary search tree in a very bad way i have so far been able to close study my book and get an idea of the binary search tree however i find the explanation for the Binary search tree's operation
I do understand the two first simple operations:
- Deleting a leaf (node with no children): Deleting a leaf is easy, as we can simply remove it from the tree.
- Deleting a node with one child: Remove the node and replace it with its child.
However the one with two children is really difficult for me to understand, i have already read on wiki and other sites to try and find a solution but i find the explanations to be kinda encrypted.
I was hoping that someone here could give me a more details or explain it in to me another way ?

There's no doubt that the scenery around Chamonix is breathtaking - so wouldn't it be nice to come home with some amazing photographs that accurately capture the beauty of the region? These days, anyone with a smartphone has access to a pretty good camera and many people have invested in even better cameras. But taking a stunning photograph relies more on just having the right equipment. You also need to know how to use those tools properly - and when it comes to landscape photography it also helps to know where the best vistas can be found.
If you love snow sports, then end of winter can be bittersweet. Sure, the weather starts warming up back home and the days start getting longer - but it also means it's time to put away your ski goggles and woolly hat and forget about your favourite hobby for a few months. Right?
For most people who travel to the Alps, beauty can be found in the majestic scenery. Snow-capped mountains, lush forests and waterways that glitter in the sunshine certainly make for pretty photographs and wonderful memories. However, the natural appearance of these locations is only part of the story. People have been living in these places, and developing them for a long time - so it's always a good idea to look for man-made beauty as well.
Holidays mean different things to different people. For some of us, it's an opportunity to get out and try something new. Others love to feel the rush of adrenaline and others prefer to be pampered with spa treatments and fine dining. Whatever your preference, you'll probably agree that a good holiday should leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated - both in mind and body. So why not try an activity like yoga, which aims to help you leave the stresses of everyday life behind and focus on your physical and mental wellbeing?
A holiday in the Alps is a wonderful way to spend your summer months. There's the breathtaking scenery, the crisp mountain air and plenty of activities to choose from. Whether you love hiking, cycling, horse riding or even a bit of warm-weather skiing, for those who like to get out and be active, the possibilities are endless. However, the region is also full of art and culture. So if you're looking for something a little less strenuous to keep you busy during your getaway, there are plenty of options to consider.

The first frontier: High altitude ballooning as a platform for student research experiences in science and engineering77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3097775View Description Hide Description
High altitude balloon platforms are ideal for providing hands-on research experiences for students in physics, atmospheric science, engineering, and other aerospace-related disciplines. We describe a basic high altitude balloon platform that can be constructed and operated by undergraduate students. The existing HARBOR and BOREALIS programs are used to illustrate some possible science and engineering research projects that students can pursue as part of a high-altitude flight program.
Gödel, Einstein, Mach, Gamow, and Lanczos: Gödel's remarkable excursion into cosmology77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3086933View Description Hide Description
This article is an expanded version of a talk given at the International Symposium Celebrating the 100th Birthday of Kurt Gödel (Vienna, 2006). It seeks to trace the path which led this preeminent mathematical logician to discover one of the famous results of General Relativity, the rotating Gödel Universe. This universe has some remarkable properties, which gave the philosophers plenty to worry about. It allows a person to travel into his own past, with all the ensuing causal paradoxes; it allows no unique temporal ordering of events; and though Gödel's Universe is rigid and infinite, the Foucault pendulum planes everywhere in it rotate in unison, a clear affront to adherents of Mach's Principle. We also discuss some lesser known precursors in the field, who just missed discovering Gödel's universe. While the article gives all the necessary derivations in simplified form (for example, of the metric and its geodesics), much of it should be accessible to the general reader, who can simply skip most of the mathematics. [Reprinted, with permission, from Kurt Gödel and the Foundations of Mathematics: Horizons of Truth, edited by Matthias Baaz, Christos H. Papadimitriou, Dana S. Scott, Hilary Putnam, and Charles L. Harper, Jr. (Cambridge U. P., New York, 2009).]
The two-body problem of ultra-cold atoms in a harmonic trap77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3013812View Description Hide Description
We consider two bosonic atoms interacting with a short-range potential and trapped in a spherically symmetric harmonic oscillator. The problem is exactly solvable and is relevant for the study of ultra-cold atoms. We show that the energy spectrum is universal, irrespective of the shape of the interaction potential, provided its range is much smaller than the oscillator length.
Ohm's law for a wire in contact with a thermal reservoir77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3097778View Description Hide Description
Ohm's law is one of the key empirical relations taught in introductory courses on electricity. Students often do a straightforward experiment to measure the current through a resistor as a function of voltage. These experiments typically yield a linear relation between the current and the voltage using carbon film resistors. However, the same measurements on long lengths of conducting wire (such as common wire resistivity kits) typically have a clear nonlinear component. The nonlinear behavior can be modeled using simple principles of heat transfer with a thermal reservoir. Experimental results are shown to agree well with this simple model.
Rotating structures and Bryan's effect77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3088877View Description Hide Description
In 1890 Bryan observed that when a vibrating structure is rotated the vibrating pattern rotates at a rate proportional to the rate of rotation. During investigations of the effect in various solid and fluid-filled objects of various shapes, an interesting commonality was found in connection with the gyroscopic effects of the rotating object. The effect has also been discussed in connection with a rotating fluid-filled wineglass. A linear theory is developed, assuming that the rotation rate is constant and much smaller than the lowest eigenfrequency of the vibrating system. The associated physics and mathematics are easy enough for undergraduate students to understand.
Lord Kelvin's gyrostat and its analogs in physics, including the Lorenz model77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3095813View Description Hide Description
A gyrostat is a system of bodies whose relative motion does not alter the intrinsic mass distribution of the system. A solid gyrostat is an arbitrary rigid body attached to one or more axisymmetric rotors with their axes fixed in the carrier. A liquid gyrostat is a cavity in a rotating rigid body filled with an inviscid, homogeneous fluid. For certain conditions, gyrostats obey the Volterra equations of motion, a generalization of the Euler equations for a rigid body rotating about a fixed point. The Lorenz model is equivalent to a special case of a gyrostat in a forced, dissipative regime, as is its laboratory analog, the Malkus water wheel. Over a century ago, Lord Kelvin, the gyrostat's inventor, attempted to formulate mechanical models of the elasticity of matter and the ether, using lattices of linked gyrostats. Opportunities for using gyrostats in the teaching of undergraduate mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, and fluid dynamics are discussed.
Initial phase and free-particle wave packet evolution77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3089531View Description Hide Description
The evolution of the free-particle wave function in one dimension is the same as scalar Fresnel diffraction from a one-dimensional structure. Quantum mechanics courses often explore the propagation of Gaussian wave packets, but the diffractionlike mathematics is sufficiently tractable to investigate the propagation of other wave packets, both numerically and analytically. More importantly, the diffraction analogy facilitates the development of an intuitive understanding of the role that the initial phase plays in free-particle wave packet evolution. This article considers some of the effects of the initial phase function on the subsequent evolution of free-particle wave packets in the position representation. These considerations reinforce the idea that the classical mechanics limit embodied in the correspondence principle and formalized in the Ehrenfest theorem is necessarily an incomplete representation of quantum behavior.
Gaussian wave packets in phase space: The Fermi function77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3083268View Description Hide Description
A pure quantum state can be equivalently represented by means of its wave function or by the Fermi function , with and coordinates and conjugate momenta of the system of interest. We show that a Gaussian wave packet can be conveniently visualized in phase space by the curve . The change in time of the curve is calculated for a Gaussian packet evolving freely or under a constant or a harmonic force, and the spreading or shrinking of the packet is easily interpreted in phase space. We also discuss a gedanken prism microscope experiment for measuring the position-momentum correlation. This gedanken experiment, together with the well-known Heisenberg microscope and von Neumann velocimeter, is sufficient to fully determine the state of a Gaussian packet.
Asymptotic approximations to Clebsch-Gordan coefficients from a tight-binding model77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3091265View Description Hide Description
The recurrence relations of the angular momentum vector addition coefficients are interpreted as a tight-binding model of a one-dimensional potential. From this model we derive their semi-classical limits in a simple manner, treating separately large and small . The resulting picture makes their qualitative behavior transparent to beginners, without the use of advanced concepts.
Illustrating some implications of the conservation laws in relativistic mechanics77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3085744View Description Hide Description
The conservation laws of nonrelativistic and relativistic systems are reviewed and some simple illustrations are provided for the restrictive nature of the relativistic conservation law involving the center of energy compared to the nonrelativistic conservation law for the center of mass. Extension of the nonrelativistic interaction of particles through a potential to a system that is Lorentz-invariant through order is found to require new velocity- and acceleration-dependent forces that are suggestive of a field theory where the no-interaction theorem of Currie, Jordan, and Sudershan does not hold.
Optics in a field of gravity77(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.3099560View Description Hide Description
An observer at rest in a uniformly accelerated reference frame experiences a parallel gravitational field. As a result, rays of light are formed as circular arcs instead of being straight lines. We deduce how a sphere at rest in this frame and a freely falling sphere in this frame appear to an observer at rest.

A MAN has admitted killing a pensioner by driving dangerously.
Grandfather Ambrose Skingle, 86, was walking in Coppice Row, Theydon Bois, on January 17 when he was knocked over. He died in hospital four weeks later.
Peter Cole, 87, of London Road, Abridge, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and making a false statement to obtain a driving licence at Chelmsford Crown Court today.
He is due to be sentenced during the week beginning Monday, November 19 and has been banned from driving in the meantime.
In a tribute to Mr Skingle, who was known as Bob, his family said: "He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend.
"He was a hard working man, who always put others first, especially his family."

Pay of Some London Bankers Gains 20 Percent, Recruiter Says
Investment banks in the U.K. increased the base pay of some staff on average by about 20 percent in the past year, recruiter Astbury Marsden said.
Employees at vice-president level saw their pay rise to 97,500 pounds ($152,470) in the past 12 months, from 81,250 pounds in the previous year, the London-based recruitment firm said in an e-mailed statement today.
"These pay rises have inevitably meant that there will be less available in the bonus pot," said Astbury Marsden managing director Jonathan Nicholson. "Managers will have to ensure that staff expectations are realistic."
Banks including Barclays Plc, Credit Suisse Group AG and UBS AG have increased investment bankers' base salaries as a percentage of total pay to comply with Group of 20 nations' compensation guidelines that discourage bonus guarantees and permit pay to be clawed back if losses occur later.
"We are already hearing of concern amongst City employers that their staff may not be fully aware that these salary increments will have an adverse effect on their annual bonus," Nicholson said.
Some staff at the vice-president level may be earning base pay of more than 160,000 pounds, the recruitment firm said.
Securities firms typically reserve a portion of revenue throughout the year to pay staff, awarding the bulk of the funds in year-end bonuses. Credit Suisse cut the amount it set aside in compensation for investment-banking employees by 20 percent from a year earlier as revenue at the unit fell 27 percent.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley have all cut the funds they set aside by the end of September to pay bankers and traders, partly due to a business slowdown.

A complex autoregressive model for invariant feature extraction to recognize arbitrary shapes on a plane is presented. A fast algorithm to calculate complex autoregressive coefficients and complex PARCOR coefficients of the model is also shown. The coefficients are invariant to rotation around the origin and to choice of the starting point in tracing a boundary. It is possible to make them invariant to scale and translation. Experimental results that the complicated shapes like nonconvex boundaries can be recognized in high accuracy, even in the low-order model. It is seen that the complex PARCOR coefficients tend to provide more accurate classification than the complex AR coefficients

Life Letter of the Day
posted by December 13 at 17:30 PMon
90% of the letters we get in the news department are from angry people, telling us what assholes we are for whatever.
But, every once in a while, we'll get a coherent, friendly letter, which reminds us that not everyone is as hateful as the commentors on Slog. (personal to Sloggers: see you guys in about 15)
Dear Stranger Staff:
I would like to express my most sincere gratitude for your fearless (and completely accurate) expose of my brutal arrest on 11/27. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee deserves a lot of respect for daring to bring this injustice to the public's attention. My most heartfelt thanks go to all the passers-by who offered their testimonials, as well.
I have been unable to raise the $10,000 bail and feeling really lousy in here. The envelope with the article arrived yesterday and has renewed my spirit and restored my faith in humanity.
Thank you for caring Seattle! How marvelous to live in a city where all don't turn a blind eye to injustices they see.
I am determined to pursue justice in this case and am humbly in your debt for the city's unified act of conscience. Hopefully we partially reduce the threat of police brutality by removing these psychopathic officers from duty for a while.
Very Gratefully Yours,
Mark Hays,
Currently at King Co. Jail
500 5th Ave.
Seattle, WA 98104

Giving Cherokee a first spin to try it out so bare with me if that's a dumb question.
I've installed it on a CentOS 6.3 VM through EPEL repo.
If i open
http://localhost in elinks (sorry no gui) I can see the "Powered by Cherokee" page fine.
I've then launched the cherokee-admin process and open
http://localhost:9090 in elinks.
I'm being asked the login and passsword, which I enter, but then nothing happens. It gets stuck loading.
I've tried the ssh tunnel technique to load it in a fancier browser like chrome in case that was the problem but it's the same scenario, I get the popup asking me for the username and password but then the browser gets stuck loading.
On a few occasions, Chrome shows a "504 Gateway Timeout" message but not always. If I refresh when that happens then it gets stuck again.
What am I missing here?
EDIT: If i let chrome running long enough I get this error message:
503 Service Unavailable
Cherokee web server 1.2.101 (UNIX), Port 9090
EDIT 2: I've got Python 2.6.6
This is the output when I start

An Apologia for the Penalty Kick Shootout
The English have nightmares about them. So do the Dutch. Germans, until recently, at least, approach them as if their veins are filled with refrigerated pilsner. But even the Germans don't match the Czechs, who face Portugal in Thursday's Euro 2012 quarterfinal. They've never missed a penalty kick in a Euro or World Cup shootout. That's never as in not once.
Soccer traditionalists love to disparage the penalty kick as a garish invention that sullies the purity of a team-centric sport. To them, it's something akin to wearing pink leather pants to church. FIFA President Sepp Blatter said last month he wants to search for an alternative.
But three-and-a-half decades after penalty kicks became a staple of elimination matches at the most important international soccer tournaments, there's a growing group of penalty kick devotees (we admit, we are among them) who view shootouts as the sport's essence. "I like it," said Patrick Vieira, the former French international whose side lost the 2006 World Cup final to Italy on penalty kicks. "It's a good process that rewards the team that is most relaxed. The team that is most relaxed should win."
The shootout, created by former Israeli referee Yosef Dagan after Israel lost a tied, 1968 Olympic quarterfinal by drawing lots, reduces soccer to its most basic component: Kicking a ball into the net.
There's a charming logic to this. Now that the margins between talent on the game's top teams is so razor thin, the only thing that often distinguishes one team after a 90-minute match with 30 minutes of extra time is what's left of their nerve. "You must look at soccer as a game of pressure," said Geir Jordet who teaches at the Norwegian Institute of Sport Sciences and has done extensive research on penalty kicks. "Teams that deal with pressure better are more likely to win matches, and a shootout is the ultimate test of that."
If you're new to soccer, here's how it works: After 120 minutes of soccer have been played to a tie, five players from each team shoot at the opposing goalkeeper from 12 yards. If no team has prevails after the first 10 kicks, the teams take turns until one team misses and the other doesn't. Jordet's research, which includes the 35 Euro and World Cup matches that have been decided by penalty kicks since 1976, shows that no variable has a greater impact on scoring than the pressure. When a player is kicking for the win, he makes it more than 90% of the time. When a miss will result in a loss, the success rate drops below 60%. Kicks that don't have a deciding outcome succeed about 75% of the time.
On that fateful 50-yard walk to the designated kicking spot, players carry all sorts of frailties. There is history to consider (Hello, England), as players from countries with a history of shootout success score 30% more often than those with a history of losses—even if those players have never participated in a shootout before.
There is ego: Superstars (see Italy's Roberto Baggio in the 1994 World Cup final) convert only 60% of their kicks compared with 75% for non-superstars.
And then there's good old fashioned panic: In a 2009 study, Jordet found that players who approach the ball less than 0.2 seconds after the referee blows the whistle succeed on less than half of their kicks compared with players who take longer (they score on 80%). The English, who have a miserable 1-5 record in shootouts, tend to launch after just .28 seconds, the fastest among all teams left in the quarterfinals.
Penalty critics, who've been led by Blatter of late, argue that that when soccer turns to this endgame, "it loses its essence as a team sport," as Blatter put it. The game is reduced to a singular skill. No one would suggest un-breaking ties in basketball with free-throws, or settling NFL games with an extra-point contest.
Roger Bennett, the British soccer writer and co-host of the "Men in Blazers" podcast, says shootouts unfairly combine "individual decision making and collective responsibility." He'd rather give the win to the team that forces the most corner kicks in extra time.
Tony Cottee, a former England international and now a soccer analyst, thinks that idea is rubbish. "It should be decided by who scores the most goals, not who commits more fouls or how many times you hit the post. If that means penalties, so be it."
Shootouts have another side effect; giving goalkeepers a pressure-free chance to be heroes. "You rarely get noticed as a goalkeeper unless it's for a mistake," said Peter Shilton, the former England star. Shilton lost the 1990 World Cup semifinals on penalties but actually likes they system. Goalkeepers now have data on their opponents' tendencies, but England goalkeeper Joe Hart said the research goes out the window once the penalties begin. "It becomes a big game of bluff," Hart said.
Even if shootouts aren't the answer, extra time surely isn't, either.
After an exhausting match in regulation, the 30-minutes of extra time is usually a slog: As teams wear down, they sag back on defense, making it harder to score. Czech striker Milan Baros said if soccer teams were allowed to play until a goal was scored—the way National Hockey League teams do—"you're going to have people die on the pitch."
With a perfect 3-0 record in shootouts and an immaculate 20-20 success rate on kicks, Baros and his Czech teammates have good reason to favor a shootout. They're even better than the Germans, with their 5-1 record and 93% conversion rate.
But the Czechs also have goalkeeper Petr Cech, the Chelsea standout who was last seen stuffing the German club Bayern Munich in the shootout that decided the European club championship in May. The shootout included a miss by German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and kicks by three other Germans who could very well end up kicking for Germany.
Michal Bilak, the Czech coach, said Cech gives the team a big advantage when it comes to shootouts – as if they need one.
"If we come to a shootout, I think our opponents will not be in a good situation," he said.
A finals penalty kick shootout showdown that pits Europe's two best shootout teams of the past 36 years? Count us in.

Will abstinence educators—beloved by hypocritical Republicans, coddled by cowardly Democrats—stop citing a study linking teen sex with juvenile delinquency now that it has been debunked?
Researchers at Ohio State University garnered little attention in February when they found that youngsters who lose their virginity earlier than their peers are more likely to become juvenile delinquents. So obvious and well established was the contribution of early sex to later delinquency that the idea was already part of the required curriculum for federal "abstinence only" programs.
There was just one problem: It is probably not true. Other things being equal, a more probing study has found, youngsters who have consensual sex in their early-teen or even preteen years are, if anything, less likely to engage in delinquent behavior later on.
I'm not holding my breath.


text: 000 FXUS63 KGRB 290432 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1132 PM CDT THU JUL 28 2016 Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Friday Issued at 225 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2016 The latest RAP analysis and satellite/radar imagery show weak areas of low pressure spinning over southwest Wisconsin and also over central Illinois. Convergence created by these surface lows along with weak mid-level shortwaves is generating scattered showers over central and northeast Wisconsin, and thunderstorms downstate. Showers appear to be more aligned with mid-level convergence from Wausau to Sturgeon Bay, but additional shower activity is developing further south than this line. As another wave arrives from Minnesota later today, a moist airmass with pwats upwards of 1.7 inches will support showers continuing through the afternoon. Precip trends are the main forecast concern in the short-term. Tonight...Weak shortwaves will continue to march east across the region, while low pressure gradually slides to the south. Short range model guidance also drops the scattered shower activity southward, but considerably slower than the previous model cycle. Furthermore, most guidance now hangs shower activity through the night over east-central WI as a comma head of one of the shortwaves moves overhead. As a result, kept a chance of showers in the forecast for central WI through 06z, and northeast WI through 12z, while also slowing down the clearing trend. Farther north, should see mostly clear skies and light winds, which could drop temps into the 40s along the U.P. border. Lows in the mid 50s to low 60s over central and east-central WI. Friday...Skies will remain partly to mostly cloudy over central and east-central WI for the morning. A slight chance of a shower will be possible with daytime heating from Wautoma to Oshkosh. Otherwise, it appears drier air will make gradual progress into the region from the north. Should still have ample cu formation but that should not stop highs from warming into the mid to upper 70s. .LONG TERM...Friday Night Through Thursday Issued at 225 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Canadian high pressure and associated drier air will be ridged across the northern Great Lakes through the weekend. Although a few models generate spotty and weak afternoon convection at times, the general concensus is for a dry period from Friday night through Monday, along with a gradual warming trend. As the Canadian high shifts east Monday night into Wednesday, southerly return flow will lift sfc/H8 warm fronts through the forecast area, resulting in a chance of thunderstorms. The chance of storms will continue Wednesday night into Thursday, as a cold front moves through the western Great Lakes. Very warm and muggy conditions appear poised to return during this period, along with the potential for locally heavy rainfall, as precipitable water values increase to 1.5 to 2 inches. Severe thunderstorm potential may also increase, as moderate to strong instability develops during the midweek period. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1132 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Weak upper level disturbances are expected to move E-SE across southern sections of the Great Lakes region through Friday. Isolated to scattered showers will linger mainly along and south of Route 29 and south of Sturgeon Bay overnight and over the southern third of WI on Friday. Low-end VFR conditions are forecast for most of northeast WI taf sites tonight into Friday with the exception of RHI where mostly sunny skies and unlimited cigs/vsbys are expected. High pressure is then progged to build south into WI Friday night and bring drier air to the region. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM.....MPC LONG TERM......Kieckbusch AVIATION.......AK
