I see you ain't no newbie to Petri nets (I read your webpage). It would be great to make the article featured (i.e. really good). I am the current editor of the article: I have made 99% of it, if not all. I would really like if you read through it, and made edits, or just notes (though don't be afraid to edit!). Your feedback is much welcome! (ps: www.petriweb.org could feature a link to the article, too, if the article gets better ;) ) Msoos 17:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Of course the Petri nets article is on my watch list; I also made a couple of minor contributions early on. The article can indeed be improved a lot, but since I am only a software developer, not a researcher on Petri nets, I hesitate to step in and make big changes. I will do my best to make smaller contributions, starting on the talk page. Rp 18:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thx for the replies. I will rewrite the Petri Net article just as you suggested: without place capacities in the definition. In fact, I studied the thing without place capacities in the original definition, but since in the article the definition already had, I was afraid to touch that part. The time has come to do revolutionise the article, it seems :) Msoos 16:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Another note[edit]
I just thought that you might be interested in this thing that a friend of mine is doing in Budapest's University of Technology and Economics (Hungary's foremost technical university). He and this PhD student are developing this app, that would parse up an XML that describes a process algebra (e.g. petri net or UML), i.e. the description of the algebra, then parses up the actual model (i.e. a program written in petri net or UML) and executes it. It's all done with some "Petri net transformation" technique, or what. It sounds *really* interesting, and the guy ain't no stupid guy - he was the winner of Hungary's maths championship for years on end, and he is an expert programmer (I mean the professor in the uni did not believe his eyes when he saw him). Anyways, if you are interested, I would be happy to provide you with some info on the project (contacts, etc.). About a year ago they had 300'000 lines of code done, so it's serious. Msoos 17:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Well (not sure where to put my reply) this can potentially be very interesting. We are working on Petri net transformations and conversions to and from other formalisms, including process algebras, but work has been done on that by others since at least the late 1970s, so just the idea of doing this isn't new or interesting by itself.

A question about your recent edit to the CFG[edit]
I have a question about the recent changes made to the Article Context Free Grammar (CFG). Since every CFG can be mathematically transformed to the Chomsky Normal Form in which every rule starts with a single variable (non-terminal), why is it necessary to define CFG in such a way that would not allow any terminal to appear on the left side of a rule? Doesn't this severely limit the scope of a CFG? --CBKAtTopsails 16:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Never Mind[edit]
Sorry, got confused about Context Free Grammar with Grammar. --CBKAtTopsails 17:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
My Mistake[edit]
While I was doing editing on CFG, my mind was thinking about G (grammar) which allows terminals to appear on the left side. --CBKAtTopsails 14:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Spam in CCFinder[edit]
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on CCFinder, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because CCFinder is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting CCFinder, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Note on Formal Language Article[edit]
I have responded to your post in the Talk:Formal_language discussion page on the article. Hermel (talk) 21:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Note on Formal Grammar[edit]
I have responded to your note on the Talk:Formal grammar page. The note on analytical grammar. The formal grammar type is known as Reductive Grammar and was used in the 60's. ACM SEGPLAN published article in which the term Reductive Grammar was used. I recently found it in a TREE META paper. I had forgotten about it. But do now remember seeing it SEGPLAN articles. I posted the response. It is significant in describing many meta compilers of that period. I am trying to find more on the meaning of context sensitive language. Most of what's available now does not describe my understanding of its meaning. COBOL from my understanding of the turm (1960s and 70s) was a context sensitive language, as its divisions all had different syntax. A data division picture for example. See my post using COBOL example of reductive grammar. Steamerandy (talk) 21:10, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Yasper[edit]
An editor has nominated Yasper, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yasper and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 17:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Request to move article Domain specific programming language incomplete[edit]
You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Domain specific programming language to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.
Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:
- Added {{move|NewName}} at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article. This creates the required template for you there.
- Added {{subst:RMtalk|NewName|reason for move}} to the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved, to automatically create a discussion section there.
- Added {{subst:RMlink|PageName|NewName|reason for move}} to the top of today's section here.
If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 00:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

to Freeciv, are you referring to yourself? MrMacMan Talk 07:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- No. I was never a very good player, but I've seen a lot of games. Besides, I only have a user page on Wikipedia. Rp (talk) 12:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Let me state the problems I saw.
- "Mathematicians usually describe the existence of intransitivities in a relation by saying the relation is not a partial order." Is that so? For a relation, having intransitivities is not equivalent to not being a partial order. A relation can fail to be a partial order for unrelated reasons (for not being reflexive or not being transitive) without having a (non-trivial) cycle. So the reader may easily get confused, because the natural interpretation of this text is that the two descriptions – informal and as phrased by mathematicians – are equivalent, which they are not. The only way I see to "clarify" this into something that is also correct while retaining the essence of the text is to replace "the relation is not a partial order" by "the reflexive transitive closure of the relation is not a partial order". I'm afraid, though, that this will effectively serve more as an obfuscation than as a a clarification.
- "Rather, it is equivalent to the relation's transitive closure being antisymmetric". From the context the reader would understand that "it" refers here to not being a partial order. Again, this is not equivalent. The inequality relation is not a partial order, but its transitive closure is not antisymmetric. Perhaps the intention is "not being antisymmetric". But also then, this is not equivalent. The empty relation is not a partial order, but its transitive closure is antisymmetric. This can be corrected by replacing "transitive closure being antisymmetric" by "reflexive transitive closure not being antisymmetric", but again the actual clarifying effect on the poor reader is open to doubt.
- "in other words whenever such triples A, B, C occur, the relation can only be transitive if A, B and C are considered to be equivalent." Just having been told that having an intransitivity "is not the same property as the relation not being transitive", the reader may perhaps be forgiven if they don't understand what this has to do with it. All options can be considered equivalent under some equivalence relation, so in this form the statement can be made somewhat vacuously true. However, in fact the relation can only be transitive if A, B and C are equal, a much stronger property. Since the context has forced the reader to assume that A, B and C are different options, it is better to phrase this as: "whenever such triples A, B, C occur, the relation is not transitive". It is not clear in what sense this statement (in either form) is a previous statement rephrased "in other words"; trying to understand that may again confuse the reader, and I don't see how to clarify this.

Boy or Girl Paradox[edit]
Rp, I'm trying to get the Boy or Girl paradox article to reflect the actual paradox, which is that most of the time the problem statement is ambiguous and so has two correct answers. You once posted in the discussion page there, and I was wondering if you might return and help to build a consensus JeffJor (talk) 18:03, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the invitation! I must say, my comment remarked that the present article gets it right, i.e. I liked the way it explained things (I haven't reread it yet to see whether I still like it). This is difficult to achieve, so I am skeptical of your idea for a big rewrite.
- Furthermore, I believe your idea to make the article reflect the actual paradox is fundamentally flawed. The point of statistics puzzles, in my opinion, is that they are deliberately vague enough to suggest multiple interpretation, upon which the questioner can pull out a particular one and declare all other outcomes results of "faulty reasoning". It is essential to most of these puzzles to explain why different outcomes are possible by explaining how the underlying assumptions that produce them differ. Rp (talk) 17:37, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- I completely agree with your stressing the importance of making the distinction between occurrence and event, and that the very first thing to do for a problem like this is which sort of event the situation we've been told about should be considered to be an occurrence of; but it is my impression that the present article already does a good enough job of it (e.g. sample spaces are mentioned). So if you see deficiencies there I would suggest to improve locally. Rp (talk) 17:37, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
There is a difference between a vague ambiguity, where all but one interpretation is based on faulty reasoning; and a true ambiguity, where the multiple interpretations are based on unflawed reasoning. Depending on the wording, the 1/2 answer could be based on flawed reasoning, or the 2/3 answer could be based on flawed reasoning, or neither could be.
The statement "(at least) one is a boy" can be made based on observing only one child, or based on observing two. When only one is observed, only half of the BG and GB cases can be included in the sample space and the answer has to be 1/2 (compare it to Bertrand's Box Paradox, with four boxes). When both are observed, all of the BG and GB cases are in the sample space, and the answer is 2/3.
The wording "(at least) one is a boy" (without stating how the observation was made) can be interpreted either way, the wording "you are told by the parent that (at least) one is a boy" must be interpreted as observing both, and the statement (from Mlodinow's book) "you recall that one is a boy, but you don't know if both are" is explicitly saying that only one child is observed. So errors are made both ways. That is what I am trying to emphasize. The previous article implies that it alwatys had to be 2/3, and that the 1/2 asnwer always had to be wrong. JeffJor (talk) 22:41, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- I don't follow. The formulation how the observation was made is really unfortunate. It doesn't matter how that particular observation was made, what matters is which infinite set of possible observations we imagine it to be an occurrence of. Rp (talk) 23:15, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
It matters how much information is observed in order to make what is only a partial description of the state of the experiment. Here's what I mean, and I'm switching to coins just to avoid connotations that are associated with the B/G problem:
- Experiment #1: Two coins are flipped behind a screen. I draw the screen back just enough to see one. I say "At least one of the two coins landed on Heads." What is the probability that both coins landed on Heads? Answer: 1/2.
- Experiment #2: Two coins are flipped behind a screen. I look behind the screen, and without letting you see I tell you "At least one of the two coins landed on Heads." What is the probability both coins landed on Heads? Answer: you would say 1/3.
Just the knowledge that "At least one of the two coins landed on Heads" is insufficient to answer the question. In order to define an event space, you need a necessary and sufficient condition that separates occurrences in the space from occurrences not in the space. And in this case, for "at least one landed on Heads" to be sufficient, we have to know if one coin was observed, or if two were. (AND, we also need to know why I said what I did when I looked at both, but that is a different issue.) JeffJor (talk) 12:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
- OK, point taken, and this is indeed a central issue in the Boy or Girl Paradox, but not the only one. Rp (talk) 13:22, 1 March 2009 (UTC).
Actually, once you realize the issue exists, it is trivial to place it as the underlying issue for all of the problems. Any disgreement about the answer is ultimately a disagreement about whether one, or two, children were observed to make the claim "at least one is a boy." Depending on the wording, either side could be wrong about that, or it could be truly ambiguous.
Some might not be able to vocalize their understanding of why the observation is important. What generally happens is that the "one child observed" side uses the isomorphism of looking at the older child; and the "two children observed" camp accuses them of being wrong for caring about age. The argument stalls on that point, which actually isn't what is being said.JeffJor (talk) 17:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Rp, thanks for the note about Freeciv. I usually base my notability standards on the general notability guideline, because if those requirements can be met then verifiability is pretty much sorted out too. So, we have the Free Games Net review, the Freeciv wiki, and the source code as references. The source code links didn't work for me but in principle its fine as a primary source verification. Other wikis aren't normally considered to be usuable as reliable sources, but if the freeciv community consider it to be both stable and accurate then I won't contest it - although again it's not independent. The Free Games Net review is the kind of thing required for the GNG but the source has to have a "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" (WP:RS) and preferably have some editorial oversight. I can't see any evidence of this at this site so I'd be inclined not to use it as evidence of notability or for verification. Google News gives good hits for reliable sources (although a lot of them can be press releases) - in this case we do get one hit for Freeciv, at a Japanese site called CodeZine [1]. It might be worth whacking it into Babel Fish to see if the coverage is "significant" (per WP:GNG.) Marasmusine (talk) 17:36, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Petri Net[edit]
Thanks for your edits to Petri Net!
I wrote quite a big chunk of it, but I must say that I got kind of tired writing it, so I just watch it for changes nowadays. Great job you did... I only really learned about Petri Nets in university, so I am not aware of any new research, and I am not even aware of old ones, to be honest. Maybe you could put some '< ref >' into the article, the way you put them into the stuff you added? It would be great!
Thanks for the effort of adding to the article! Bests, Msoos (talk) 12:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- I used to maintain a Petri net editor and simulator (Yasper), but in my present job we're not using them often enough to justify working on it further. It should really get a beta out, despite the remaining quirks it's so much better than the release. Apart from that I have a fundamental fondmess of coloured Petri nets because they communicate asynchronously and require all data to be passed around explicitly which I consider the only serious way of modelling concurrency. But I have no special expertise in Petri net theory. Rp (talk) 12:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Request for review[edit]
Please review Syntactic Structures and suggest any improvements. --Zaheen (talk) 18:08, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- I read your comment in the discussion page, but unfortunately it isn't very helpful for me. There are many references to support the text you quoted and called reverential in tone. The truth, for me at least, is that this tone cannot be helped. It is inevitable. Chomsky was, as a matter of fact, revered to some extent by generations of linguists from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and even now he is, although many of his earlier contributions have been abandoned later by himself and by other linguists. Chomsky really did change the landscape of linguistics with Syntactic Structures. Lees really did write almost a book-length review, a favorable review (i.e. not a critical one) in the journal Language that highly influenced the mindset of linguists back then and attracted them to the Chomskyian brand of linguistics. So Lees's review was really "favorable and highly influential". Historians of linguistics who lived through those times all say the same thing. Remember 1950s and 1960s was the time when new Linguistics departments and programs were being founded in American universities. Chomsky became kind of a superstar in this academic milieu during the latter half of the 20th century, and any unbiased, truthful account of Chomsky's work will inevitably reflect these facts, in content and in tone. --Zaheen (talk) 06:45, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- If the tone wasn't inevitable, we wouldn't be dealing with objectively describable material, and hence its discussion wouldn't belong in Wikipedia at all. But of course there is a difference between reverential writing (which this article is guilty of at present) and a discussion of reverence by others. The latter can be discussed objectively - although I think such discussion should remain limited to a hypothetical article The sociology of linguistics. . Rp (talk) 16:44, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- This is as vague as it gets for me. If you really think there is something "reverential" about the "tone" which the writeup is "guilty" of, please point out which part(s) of the article needs attention in that regard, and also, present some alternatives. I responded earlier about the part you quoted, I stood by my choice of words and I gave reasons why. Which parts of the article do you still contest? Why? How can the problem be solved? Be specific, give reasons why you think the tone here or there is wrong and present alternatives. I am sure it can be sorted out. But I am not interested in vague back-and-forths that lead to nowhere. --Zaheen (talk) 13:21, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

EFnet / IRCnet split[edit]
IRCnet was not the original IRC network, [2] although I found a few websites and even some books that got this wrong. See Talk:EFnet#NickServ for a lengthy discussion of the various splits including the early Anarchy-Net split and much later IRCnet split.

Context Free grammar[edit]
I like your example very much--- (I saw [a car]yesterday) with green headlights], but I feel (perhaps its just me) that such a structure would not appear in the New Your Times, that it's an informal speaking thing where you throw out the clause at the end because you forgot to nest it properly (meaning context-free). I feel like this is a bastardization of "I saw a car with green headlights yesterday", and that the version you gave is slightly ungrammatical. But its the best example I've seen so far.
Do you know other examples? I commented on the talk page for Context free grammar too.Likebox (talk) 06:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not a specialist in this area, but I know there is consensus among linguists that not all natural language is context-free. So I couldn't leave the article as it was, flatly asserting the opposite. Clearly, as soon as you reject all examples as "improper" just because they are not context-free, the statement that language is context-free becomes vacuous. You may be right that it's more likely to occur in spoken or informal language. Rp (talk) 13:49, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I know the consensus: but the good examples of non-context-free constructions seem to be restricted to Swiss German. This comes from reading the articles that say that natural language isn't context free. I was hoping someone would give an English example, because there were some people in the 70's that said that English grammar is context free (at least almost entirely), and from going over the New York Times sentence by sentence, I couldn't find an example that contradicted this. Your example is, by far, the best I have seen.Likebox (talk) 22:16, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Relational model[edit]
Our article Relational model is entirely about database theory. The topic is nowhere to be found in e.g. the Handbook of mathematical logic, it isn't taught as part of the mathematical logic curriculum, and mathematical logicians don't study it. So I'm not sure what criterion you would use to argue that it is part of mathematical logic, apart from the fact that it uses some mathematical techniques. There are many parts of computer science that use mathematical techniques without being part of mathematical logic. Complexity theory, domain theory, and automata theory are some other examples. — Carl (CBM · talk) 11:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Invitation to events: bot, template, and Gadget makers wanted[edit]
I thought you might want to know about some upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, extending functionality with JavaScript, the future of ResourceLoader and Gadgets, the new Lua templating system, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the Chennai event in March, the Berlin hackathon in June, the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC, or any other of our events.

Hi Rp, In this edit to Syntactic sugar I corrected and expanded the discussion of parallel assignment in Notable examples, showing even more of its sugary goodness! Hope you enjoy; feel free to modify further or request changes (by me).

Proposed deletion of ExSpecT[edit]
The article ExSpecT has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Software package of dubious notability: orphaned since at least 2008, no references besides its own website.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the
{{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing
{{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- Regarding You question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Scripting_language#Article_is_unfocused
- I made a proposal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Scripting_language#Focus_on_Script_and_Scripting.21
- You could use this Script_(computing)
Eventually it would be possible to grow the script page and dry out scripting language page down to another redirection page ;-)

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Rollback is valid[edit]
We do not use redirects on disambiguation pages per MOS:DAB. I pointed the redirects at their mother pages.
- Script (computing) is a redirect to Scripting language
- script (Unix) had a lowercase s, so I changed it to Script (Unix) per MOS:CAPS
- Scripts (artificial intelligence) is a redirect to Script theory
Your revert put them back to being redirects, and made the big S a little s. I hope you understand this. Cheers!

A truck lover in Wisconsin builds his dream vehicle.
He made a life-sized replica of a Tonka truck.
Brad Doane's family has spent three generations playing with them.
But after 66 years the boys at Irvington Garage Towing are finally ready to make the arrangement official.
And welcome to their fleet: A tow toy.
It wasn't till his mother brought back to the shop a sandbox survivor she bought at a charity auction, which the light came on for brad.
Starting with a 700 dollar Chevy pickup purchased from the side of a road, brad spent a year in pursuit of the dream of every seven-year-old boy who's ever imaged sliding behind the wheel of his favorite toy.
16 feet long, 10 feet tall, a two ton Tonka. Big enough to tow a car -- if you could figure out a way to lift it with the hand crank on the other end of that boom.
Made for parades, Brad is looking forward to sharing the love.

CLERMONT -- You've been told the message.
You know it is something that you need to do.
But you really don't have the desire to do it.
Would it help if your doctor joined in?
If that message was to go outside and get some exercise, a national program coming to Bullitt County might just be your answer.
On the second Saturday of each month through November, KentuckyOne Health, Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest and the Bullitt County Health Department will join forces to present Walk with a Doc.
Some lucky charmers from the Nichols Elementary pre-school classroom celebrated the Wearing o' the Green on St. Patrick's Day.
Students made lucky crowns from construction paper, with their made-up Irish names written on the sides.
The creative activity was a part of the pre-school program's many St. Patrick's day festivities, a fun way to learn a little about the holiday's history.
About 30 JROTC cadets from North Bullitt High went on a college and career field trip recently.
The University of Louisville Army ROTC Cardinal Battalion hosted several hours of exploration of the Belknap Campus.
The cadets then went to the 123rd Airlift Wing of the Kentucky Air Guard.
Soon, the cadets will take their fourth college and career trip to the University of Kentucky to visit the Wildcat Battalion. A trip to Fort Campbell is also planned.
The Bullitt County Foundation for Excellence in Public Schools will host its annual Run for the Spirits Gala.
The fund-raiser will be held on Friday, April 22, from 6:30 p.m. until midnight at Paroquet Springs Conference Centre.
It will be an evening of fun in an effort to raise funds for grant programs in the Bullitt County school system.
Free bourbon and wine tasting and Hor-d-oeuvre from 6:30-8 p.m. A cash bar will be available after 8 -.m.
MOUNT WASHINGTON — Derek Willis isn't the only Bullitt East graduate on TV these days.
The newest host for the nationally recognized TV show "Kentucky Afield" got his start fishing in Bullitt County.
"As early as I remember, I was always within walking distance of either a pond or the Salt River," Chad Miles said.
The Mount Washington native spent his childhood catching bait and fishing in the river with his two cousins who lived across the street.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - If you ask government officials, police officers, school administrators and church leaders what the major problem is facing local individuals and families, more often than not they give the same answer.
It's heroin.
Following a wave of rampant methamphetamine creation and abuse, heroin suddenly became the area's primary drug of choice, both cheaper and easier to obtain among users.
BOWLING GREEN -- "Only Doing It for Some Doll."
So describes the behavior of the 'guys' in Frank Loesser's classic musical Guys and Dolls.
This joint production of WKU's Departments of Music and Theatre & Dance is based on Damon Runyon's stories of New York gamblers in the '40s and will be presented April 1-3 at Van Meter Hall.
The show was a great success on Broadway in 1950 and has been performed all around the world. In 1955 it was made into a movie starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.
SHEPHERDSVILLE—Students at Cedar Grove Elementary were given a chance to explore possible career paths during Career Day.
Special speakers throughout the county spoke to the students about their career choices, which included a racecar driver, a pediatrician, a beautician and an optometrist.
The event was established through the school's Family Resource Center.
See more photos of the event in the multimedia section of www.pioneernews.net.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Regular visitors to the Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency Seniors Center are not strangers to retirement.
However, the party they attended was to celebrate a special retirement for a special person.
Senior Center director Mary Wilson is retiring after 12 years of fun daily activities, special parties, hot meals and plenty of love.
The seniors reciprocated that love with a special party in Wilson's honor, including gifts and visits from some of Wilson's past and present co-workers.
FRANKFORT -- Surviving College, a guide that helps college freshmen succeed during their first year on campus, is available free from the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).

New government figures show almost a million motorists opted for the Speed Awareness Course over the last year to avoid getting points on their driving licence.
The Government statistics showed that in 2013, 953,428 motorists took part in the Speed Awareness Course - a significant increase on the 500,000 who signed up in 2010.
Drivers are offered The Speed Awareness Course as an alternative to getting points on their licence, but they have to pay £85 for the privilege. In 2011 772,430 drivers enrolled.
• Study shows speed limit increase makes roads safer
In order to qualify for the Speed Awareness Courses, there are several criteria that need to be met - your speed needs to have been within a specific range. In a 30mph zone, your speed needs to be between 35mph and 42mph, and on motorways, the figure needs to be between 79mph and 86mph.
Motorists are ineligible for the Speed Awareness Course if they have taken one in the three years prior to their most recent speeding offence.
The Speed Awareness Course gives the motorist information on the dangers and consequences of speeding and is also aimed at giving them driving tips from an experienced course leader.
RAC technical director, David Bizley said: "This has to be good news for all those involved as it gives drivers a positive educational benefit, rather than simply adding points to their licences."

Updated 4:28 p.m. ET
Seven fans died from a stampede while trying to get into a stadium hosting a football match between two of Kenya's most popular teams, the Kenya Red Cross said on Saturday.
Red Cross spokesman Titus Mungo'u said six people died when they were run over by the crowd outside Nyayo National Stadium, and one more died after being taken to Kenyatta National Hospital.
Jack Oguda, CEO of the Kenya Premier League, said he couldn't understand why fans couldn't get in properly because the stadium wasn't full.
"A gate was broken into by fans forcing their way into the stadium," Oguda said.
"Access was limited and they got agitated and that's why they forced their way in.
"We'll start an inquiry into the matter to establish why fans could not access the stadium."
Zedekiah Otieno, the coach of Gor Mahia, which beat AFC Leopards 1-0 in the stadium, said, "management should ensure that gates are open on time to avoid a mad rush to the stadium during games of this magnitude."

Sandwich Monday
Sandwich Monday: Burger King's Extra Long Cheeseburger
Past innovations in sandwich architecture have largely focused on height: the Big Mac, the Windows 7 Whopper, Dubai's 2,717-foot-tall Burg Dubai.
Finally, someone is thinking horizontally. Burger King has unveiled the Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger. It's two beef patties and onion rings on a long roll.
Seth: This is great because I was really hoping to play a game of pickup after work. Wait ... that's not a football?
Ian: It's a tandem beefcycle!
Miles: They should just call it the "Extended Misery Burger."
Eva: Do these patties share a secret language, like other twins?
Peter: I was hoping for a longaberger, which would be an overpriced wicker basket on a long bun.
Ian: Hold on, I have to look that joke up ... OK, it's funny.
Miles: I'd rather eat this than Burger King's Long Pig Burger.
Ian: As long as you eat this in 2-D, it's the same number of calories as a regular burger.
Eva: This is probably just the result of a pink slime machine malfunction.
Miles: Are we sure this isn't just a burger someone sat on?
Peter: I want a burger so long I can be eating one end while the other is still being reconstituted in the Burger King extruders.
Ari: Burger King can't call something long just because it put two of them side by side! That's like putting the Olsen twins side by side and saying it's an average body weight.
Ian: It bothers me how Robert keeps referring to this burger as "the twins."
Miles: This burger is perfect for me because recently I've been eating for two. Oh, I'm not pregnant; I'm just a glutton.
[The verdict: As longtime fans of this sandwich's shape-mate, the Burger King chicken sandwich, we had high hopes. But while it did take longer to eat, it wasn't more delicious. It's as if the same amount of deliciousness was spread out over a larger area.]
Sandwich Monday is a satirical feature from the humorists at Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me!

With the exception of Internet Explorer, updating to your browser's latest version is usually a given.
For Vista and Win7 users, upgrading to IE 9 requires a bit more consideration and planning than updating Firefox or Chrome — but the time has come.
As a member of the Center for Internet Security (info page), I participate in that organization's online security discussions. Recently, one of the participants asked whether you should always update to the latest version of Internet Explorer that your workstations support. The consensus was "yes." IE 9, for example, adds major security enhancements for Windows 7. Vista also benefits from IE 9. (Unfortunately, Windows XP users are out of luck.)
Regular Patch Watch readers know that I recommended skipping IE 9 for the moment. Now I recommend giving it a try. Most Vista and Win7 users will see it offered in Windows Update, but you can also download (page) it directly from Microsoft. If you check the install box in Windows Update, you should see a box similar to the one shown in Figure 1, which gives you a second chance to approve or prevent IE 9's installation.

New Jerseyans can breathe a sigh of relief that Gov. Christie on Tuesday joined the growing ranks of Republican governors savvy enough to put aside party loyalty and embrace a key element of Obamacare.
Christie's decision to enact an expansion of Medicaid is a move that, as the governor noted in his budget speech, "will provide health insurance to tens of thousands of low-income New Jerseyans, help keep our hospitals financially healthy, and actually save money" for the state's taxpayers.
With Christie's progressive move - he's the eighth GOP governor to do so - it makes even less sense for Gov. Corbett to remain a holdout on Medicaid.

Rand 'I believe business should be left alone from government' Paul elected Senator
Salon: "Tea Party has now officially cost GOP a Senate seat"
Rand Paul has become the first of the Tea Party extremists to be elected to the Senate — but Christine "I am not a witch" O'Donnell has lost her bid for a Senate seat.
Here's some background on the hard-core, pro-pollution libertarian from Kentucky:
- Dawn of the brain-dead Senate — Rand Paul: "Now Osama bin Laden had a quote yesterday. He's says he's after the climate change as well. It's a bigger issue, we need to watch 'em. Not only because it may or may not be true, but they're making up their facts to fit their conclusions. They've already caught 'em doing this." [Rand Paul, 2/4/10]
- Rand Paul refuses to say how old the earth is: "I think I'm just gonna have to pass on that one"
- Rand Paul: "I believe business should be left alone from government."
- Rand Paul calls White House pressure on British Petroleum "un-American," defends BP's recklessness: "sometimes accidents happen"
UPDATE: As Salon reports:
No matter what else happens tonight, you can't say the GOP didn't pay a price for the restiveness of its Tea Party base: Christine O'Donnell has officially lost her U.S. Senate bid in Delaware.
It took news organizations all of a few seconds after the official 8pm closing of Delaware's poll to make the call, which was hardly a surprise, given that O'Donnell trailed Democrat Chris Coons by double-digits in every survey conducted during the general election campaign. Still, her defeat is a vivid reminder of how the Tea Party has complicated things for the GOP in this election. Because of her ideological purity, the Tea Party base insisted on nominating O'Donnell, disregarding cries from party regulars that Rep. Mike Castle — who consistently led Coons by double-digits all year — would guarantee a win for the party in the fall. To the base, rolling the dice with O'Donnell was something of a badge of honor, a statement that they'd rather stick to their principles and lose than compromise and win.
And it was always clear that O'Donnell would lose in the fall, given her checkered past and penchant for erratic behavior and provocative pronouncements. A generic, bland Republican would have been well-positioned to win this race, with swing voters eager to voice their frustration with the Democrats who rule Washington. But O'Donnell's presence turned the race into a referendum on her ideology, her background and her behavior — and her deficiencies were severe enough to move swing voters back to the Democratic column.
We'll soon know if Tea Party candidates have cost the GOP any other Senate races…. But if Republicans end tonight one vote short of a Senate majority, they'll have the Tea party to thank for it.
21 Responses to Rand 'I believe business should be left alone from government' Paul elected Senator
"I believe business should be left alone from government."
Can I assume that means we should be stopping all Government subsidies to the fossil fuel industry as well?
Perhaps We can reach some kind of compromise?
We must have all hopelessly slipped out of fashion because
Stupid is the new smart.
Mr. Rand is a man for the times.
Sounds good! As long as ALL significant costs are internalized. Any cost that remains externalized is just a bailout.
Paul, a physician, believes government should leave everyone alone except for the massive amounts of money paid to physicians.
Paul believes in what's good for Rand Paul.
I don't understand why everyone is saying he's been elected when not even half (at this time) of the votes have been counted. Perhaps we no longer need to count the votes and should just accept the wisdom of the Village?
"I believe business should be left alone from government."
Good deal. Take away all the roads, banks, courts, laws, schools and regulation of commerce and let's have a field day of barbarism.
Nice to know as our climate regresses to a prehistoric state, the same is happening with good ole Kentuc. They seem to have fossilized. Too much breathing of that 120 ppm CO2 (395 – 275 ppm) from coal combustion.
Can't wait to see these two Kentucky senators perform.
"Nobody told me there would be days like these." (RIP, JL)
Also Too, Science should not influence policy!
I can't help but think of Phil Hartman dressed as the Frankenstein monster screaming "SCIENCE BAD!"
So at least I'm kind of smiling.
@ Xopher
Exit polls. AT least that is my guess.
[JR: And which precincts have reported.]
According to RealClearPolitics, Kentucky is Rand 53%, Conway 47% with 41 percent counted.
Talking Points Memo calls it for Rubio in Florida and Coons in Delaware. (No surprises there.) However, apparently no votes have been counted in Delaware.
Don't talk too good, do he?
"Can I assume that means we should be stopping all Government subsidies to the fossil fuel industry as well?"
Nope. That govt should leave business alone only goes one way; take the regulations off our back, but keep your hands off our subsidies. If you need an example of that, Google 'deep water royalty relief act'. Our long national nightmare is back.
Oh boy. Rivkin has a post up about possible hearings into climate science and the trolls are out and about:
Somehow I kind of have the feeling that enough scary stuff will be said by these goof balls that by next summer the press will finally get their stuff together and pay more attention to truth than to balance. They'll realize that yes, they do have an important role in the running of this country and accurate information is more vital to our nation's well being than are the opinions of talking heads.
I don't foresee Rand Paul or Boehner cooling their rhetoric one bit for the national media. Once the media see that the new congress holds no magic formula for economic progress, and that they're more interested in burning their enemies at the stake than finding solutions; it's going to blow up.
How will the foaming at the mouth, spittle spewing, wide-eyed true believing tea partiers react when this happens? They'll lose the independent voters, they'll lose their mandate, and then I fear they'll really do something stupid.
Paul's response when asked about mountaintop removal coal mining…
"I think whoever owns the property can do with the property as they wish. And if the coal company buys it from a private property owner, and they want to do it? Fine. The other thing I think is I think coal gets a bad name, because I think a lot of the land apparently is actually quite desirable once it's been flattened out. As I came over here from Harlan, you got quite a few hills. I don't think anybody's gonna be missing a hill or two here and there. And some people like having the flat land. Some of it apparently has become quite valuable when it's become flattened."
Oh, good, a snoring contest between Rip Van Paul and his son.
Andy, you said:
How will the foaming at the mouth, spittle spewing, wide-eyed true believing tea partiers react when this happens? They'll lose the independent voters, they'll lose their mandate, and then I fear they'll really do something stupid.
There is a bit of history to reflect on if you google 'moral majority'. Back in the late 80s Jerry Falwell and a bunch of crazy christian zealots latched onto the repug party with a long list of social engineering demands. They got a bunch of crazy repugs elected but the list was shredded and the crazy zealots backed away from politics because they realized they had been shanghied and tricked.
Pray to whomever the baggers learn the same lesson. It aint about them it is about to uber-rich and the kroch brothers.
Some ounce of hope there but it has the taste of chewing on gravel.
John McCormick
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Of the people, by the people, and for the people, government is aptly suited to control the near-absolute power of entrenched industries and businesses.
With Harry Reid maintaining his senate seat in Nevada it's pretty safe to say that the tea party has cost the Republicans 2 senate seats now. And in Colorado Bennett is leading Buck (albeit very small margin). If this holds up it could easily be that the tea party cost the Republicans 3 senate seats. That is huge. Yet the story of the election will be how the tea party made possible huge Republican wins.
Rand Paul to Launch New 'Aqua Buddha' Aftershave
Working tagline: "Nirvana's just a splash away for the Aqua Buddha man."

ATHENS, Ga. -- As the grounds crew pulled off the rain-soaked infield tarp at 6:12 p.m. ET, it signaled both a beginning and an end.
The start of the deciding game in the Athens Super Regional was still nearly an hour away, but the completion of that seemingly simple task by the men who tend to the Foley Field turf was the beginning of the end of the South Carolina baseball season.
The best chance the Gamecocks had of prolonging their somewhat improbable postseason run was if Game 3 was postponed until Tuesday because of the thunderstorms that had rolled through Georgia on Monday afternoon.
No such luck.
The rain held out, but South Carolina's pitching didn't. Georgia is now headed to Omaha, Neb., to make its fifth appearance in the College World Series thanks to an 11-6 win in front of a Foley Field record crowd of 4,302.
The Bulldogs (47-21) will open College World Series play against Rice on Saturday (2 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
With the win, Georgia improved to 8-1 in elimination games and 1-0 in calculated risks.
When the Dawgs won the coin toss following Sunday's win over South Carolina, they elected to be the visitor because they wanted to stay in their normal first-base dugout -- even though it meant giving up last at-bats.
"It was a gamble, but you don't gamble with these guys because they are the real deal," Georgia coach David Perno said. "They have done it all year and they're just made of the right stuff."
The gamble was a unanimous decision among the players, but there was more to it than the comfort of a familiar dugout.
"We wanted to score first and put it to 'em," right-fielder Bobby Felmy said. "Like we've said all year, you never back a dog into a corner."
Cliches aside, the Georgia players were confident they could get through South Carolina's starting pitching in order to feast on its depleted bullpen.
The Gamecocks (41-25) got through the early innings in pretty good shape. After they gave up a pair of runs in the top of the third, South Carolina came right back to take a 3-2 lead in the bottom half of the inning.
For the Gamecocks to have a chance to survive and advance, they needed another gem from starter Wynn Pelzer -- like the complete-game win he pitched on June 5 to carry South Carolina to the super regionals.
As good as he was in the 5-1 win against Evansville in the regional round, he was still the pitcher that Georgia had roughed up on two different occasions this season.
Pelzer became his own worst enemy in the fifth and sixth innings when he gave up two runs on no hits and promptly gave the lead back to Georgia for good.
In the fifth, it was a pair of walks and a pair of hit-batsmen. In the sixth, it was a pair of walks and a wild pitch that plated the Dawgs' fourth run.
"I still felt good," Pelzer said. "My velocity was still there, but I struggled with my command the whole night.
"Against a good team like Georgia, if you give them too many free base runners, they take advantage of stuff like that."
The bad news for South Carolina was that Georgia came into Monday's game with a 39-1 record when leading after six innings.
In case there was any doubt, the Dawgs unleashed an offensive attack in the seventh to completely put the game away.
Felmy lead off the inning with a home run to left center to make the score 5-3 Georgia. Three batters later, the bases were loaded and South Carolina coach Ray Tanner had seen enough.
He reluctantly made the trip from the third base dugout to the mound. As one South Carolina columnist wrote on Monday, when Tanner has to make a trip to the mound these days, he might as well wave a white flag instead of signaling for a relief pitcher.
Surrender wasn't an option, so lefty Chase Tucker and righty Conor Lalor finished off the inning, but it was anything but a relief for the South Carolina faithful.
Georgia pounded out four more hits, scored six more runs and finished the seventh with an 11-3 lead.
"That seven-run seventh just gave them too much cushion," Tanner said. "In order to win, you can't give a good team as many opportunities as we did tonight."
The South Carolina staff gave up seven walks, hit two Dawgs and threw one wild pitch.
"The one thing we knew we had going for us is that we had put enough pressure on them that we knew we were going to get two or three innings of their bullpen," Perno said. "And that's all we were waiting for."
Georgia was led by Felmy's 2-for-4, three RBI effort, which also included a triple to go along with his home run. And center-fielder Joey Side also collected three RBI and picked up a few school records along the way. After two hits on Monday, he now has a 110 on the season. And his two-run triple in the seventh was his ninth this season and 14th for his career -- both school records.
With that seventh-inning barrage, Georgia is a perfect 40-0 with a lead after seven innings.
After a perfunctory final two innings, South Carolina prepared for a bus trip back home, while Georgia celebrated and made plans for a 1,000-mile plane trip to the west.
Georgia has only qualified for the NCAA Tournament seven times in school history, but has advanced to Omaha five of those times. Only the 1990 team came back to Athens with a national championship.
"I told these guys before the day started that I was on the 1990 team, I knew the 1987 team, I was a coach on the 2001 and 2004 teams, and there wasn't a more deserving team to go to Omaha than this one," said Perno, who was a backup second baseman on the title team. "I told them they needed to find a way to get it done because they deserved it more than any other team in our program's history."
