In his July 1 column, John Kanelis excoriated Potter County Commissioner Joe Kirkwood for failing to recuse himself from votes tidying up his legal difficulties. Kirkwood's conflict of interest, while not meeting the legal requirement for abstention, nevertheless raised an ethical conflict, one that did not pass Kanelis' "smell test."
We can applaud Kanelis for his scents of integrity and agree that our elected officials should maintain a high standard of ethics to remain above reproach.
As to whether the "smell test" would be applied to the honorable mayor and city commissioners, officials the Amarillo Globe-News recently endorsed, our Fourth Estate has remained silent.
During the recent election campaign some residents expressed concern that officials voting on downtown revitalization could involve a conflict of interest for those having direct or indirect ownership of property or control of downtown investments. This issue was put to Kanelis both publicly on the Internet and by private communication.
Happily, Mayor Debra McCartt and Commissioner Madison Scott readily affirmed they would go beyond what is legally required and meet the higher ethical standards we expect.
Will Kanelis remain vigilant for other mal-olfactors? Who nose?

Reports: Political Divide At All-Time High
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on November 09, 2012 @ 7:12PM
Created on November 09, 2012 @ 5:36PM
Now that the elections are over it's time for our political leaders to get back to work.
In their post-election speeches most of them promised to work across party lines to get things done.
"At a time like this we can't risk partisan bickering and political posturing," Mitt Romney said during his concession speech on Tuesday. "Our leaders have to reach across the isle to do the peoples work."
In his concession speech Romney urged his supporters to work across party lines.
Here in West Virginia, Bill Maloney made a similar push.
"You have the power to make sure politicians work in your best interest and not theirs," Maloney said on Tuesday. "I want to ask all of you to work with Governor Tomblin to help create a better West Virginia."
President Obama has also pledged to work more with Republicans.
That might be good all of them promised that because according to some post-election analysis, when it comes to our political parties it looks like we're far apart.
"Things are scary," Walter Mason, a Westover resident, said. "It actually has me worried about what's going to happen."
The divide isn't coming at a good time. That's because at the end of the year some folks are slated to see major increases tax increases, and the federal government will see huge spending cuts. That is unless both Democrats Republicans can come together and work across party lines.
"If there's a firm line in the sand anywhere that can stop the whole thing," Scott Crichlow, the Chair of the Political Science Department at West Virginia University, said. "So to the extent there's a firm division between the parties that they insist keeping in tact, that means no budget."
Crichlow said the divide dates back to 2000.
"We've had so many close elections in a close period of time," Crichlow said. "That's never been the case, at least since women got the right to vote, that's very unusual."
That isn't giving folks, like Walter Mason, much hope that separation will end anytime soon.
"That's a question that someone with a whole lot more intelligence I have can ever (answer)," Mason said.

online lobbies are dead...
I really am struggling to play with other people online at the moment.
- Joining a mission after an invite, more often then not it's empty.
- Hosting and sending out auto invite, crew invites no one joins.
Really hope rockstar sort this out as it's really boring waiting for the possibility of just one person joining.
I've had some trouble with that, but I've chalked it up to the times I've been on--mid-morning on weekdays, when few people are likely to be around. I'm not around to play at night or on the weekends.
See i thought it could be to do with times but then again this is the global age we are speaking of. It shouldn't matter. Never affected me on COD etc.
That was good fun playing with you then, Tim! Even though there was only a few of us. That was the first time i've played a series of matches/races/etc with the same group :3
I need to get a headset. And add the rest of these gtag jerks
Wait, I played with you? Were you with Luke and I?
are you on ps3? I'm xbox and I play a lot.
I have also noticed the gtag crew doesn't join up. I think it's the way invites are sent. you basically get a random phone invite and people typically only join if their friend invites them, otherwise you dont want to play with randoms.
PS3. Was better this afternoon than this morning and I find a lot of the GTAG join on the PS3.
Also created a new emblem for the crew site: http://rsg.ms/19Ql9St
I tried to join the crew but yo guys seem all filled up.
(except for that other time)
Oh sweet I'll double check you're on my psn.
yeah, Im probably not because i have a newish account. I don't use the Legham one anymore
You already have a friend request from me pending.
Lol! I thought i'd accepted all of my requests :/ I shall accept ye tonight probably. Unless pokemans gets in stock and in that case, i have no idea what i'm gonna play...
sorry for bump but discovered as i was using free aim in SP, it was looking for free-aim lobbies. unfortunately VERY little amount of people use free-aim so finding game was very annoying.
i switched to default aiming mode and am finding games but honestly it's so boring and pointless.
I'm gonna try to set aside some time this weekend. My PSN ID is jwrebholz--same as here. Look me up if I'm around. I promise not to be a jackass.
EDIT: What the hell happened to my signature?!

If I create a C# app which has a mechanism to restrict the number of workstations accessing the database, what is stopping someone decompliling the app, changing the code for this mechanism, recompiling it and then deploying it on their systems?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Potentially nothing, however you can increase the effort, and reduce the benefit of this sort of thing:
Yes tools like Reflector can decompile your C# Program, and then Reflector.FileDisassembler can even get your source back.
I highly recommend reading HRH Jon Skeets article here on .NET Obfuscation and Decompilation: http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/obfuscation.html
For .net (and even Java which has similar problems) there are obfuscators. Visual Studio comes with the community version of Dotfuscator, however, there is a catch:
The MSIL is regenerated with a lot of obscurity once compiled, so when a hacker decompiles it, it's hard to read. But, when there is an exception, the stack trace will also show obfuscated code so now the program is much harder to debug by you.
The paid versions have a XML Map which can map an exception to the right classes so you can know which class/method an error lies in.
Like Jon's article describes, its a matter of balance and no software is truly safe.
You could sign it with a strong name.
You can use obfuscator to prevent this. Obfuscator will make your byte code very tangled and unreadable, and by this it will make it reasonably hard to decompile your program and find authorization code. But of course, as with any other program, this protection can be beaten.
You can make the assembly strongly named by signing it.

Movement and FMA Fanart by crystalized-darknessWatch

I tried a form of movement with a very simplely designed character. I think It came out ok except for especially the hands. I also did my first drawings of Full Metal Alchemist characters (my favorite at that) Ed and Lust. I dont really like the Ed drawing but for the most part I like the Lust drawing. Full Metal Alchemist is a very cool anime. I think I may be obsessed with this one^_^

I have lots of tab groups, and I like to use them to store open pages.
I know that you can switch tabs using ctrl-`, and that you can open the tab gropus with ctrl-shift-E, but as far as I can tell, there is no way to toggle between two tab groups of your choice. If I am working on an old opened tab group, I can't toggle to the newest one with ctrl-` even if that was the last group I opened up.
When you right click on a tab, there is the option to 'Move to group' which opens up a list of tab groups. This list is the order that ctrl-` will cycle through.
Is there a way of organizing or sorting this list?

Did you happen to notice the only two college players who were invited to try out for the United States Senior National Team on Sunday?
Of course, there are only two who would fit the criteria this season: Duke senior J.J. Redick and Gonzaga junior Adam Morrison.
Even USA Basketball couldn't make a choice. Instead, it invited both of them. There was no need to choose for an honor like this. They were both deserving of the invitation. It didn't matter that one played in the ACC and the other in the WCC. This was a decision based on talent, and talent alone.
National team coach Mike Krzyzewski of Duke said Sunday during a teleconference, "They are two different players although they are both great scorers. Both of them are very competitive. I think some collegiate players going into this type of situation would be a little bit intimidated. I don't think either one of these guys will."
Krzyzewski said both collegians define the specialist role on the U.S. team. When you draw from that word its root -- "special" -- you've identified the way to describe these two players this season.
There is no rule that says you have to choose one. So, in deciding on the national player of the year, there is no harm in saying they both deserve the award. This isn't college football and its hype for one award -- the Heisman. Schools equally recognize the Wooden, Naismith, Robertson, Rupp and AP player of the year awards. Utah's Andrew Bogut won all but one of those last season, yet Duke promoted Redick, who won the Rupp, as the returning national player of the year. Even the Web sites, like us at ESPN.com, get a fair mention. And, who knows, Redick and Morrison might end up splitting these without the push for their sharing each one of them.
But it's hard to deny that they deserve to share the awards, with both hovering around a nation's best 28 points per game all season, outdueling each other with 40-point games, shooting at or near 50 percent, above 40 percent on 3s and each averaging just a few minutes under 40 per game. Oh, and of course, their teams are in the top 10 and could be a No. 1 seed (Duke) and a No. 2 seed (Gonzaga).
"I would say co-player of the year," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said Friday. "They've both done so much, but if I have to pick someone, I would pick J.J. because I've seen him more, coached against him and tried to stop him. I haven't had to do that with Adam, but I love watching him play.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing it," Williams said.
Look, you can say I'm on the fence here. That's fine. Williams seems to think sharing it is OK, too.
Need more support for this idea? Memphis senior wing Rodney Carney and Virginia junior guard Sean Singletary played against both players this season, so I feel pretty comfortable in saying their word is pretty strong here.
"I couldn't pick, I'd give it to both of them," said Singletary, whose Cavaliers lost to Gonzaga and Duke this season.
"It's not a bad thing to have them share it since they're both having great years," he said. "Neither should be left out. The best thing to do is give them co-MVP."
Singletary, who said Redick is the deeper shooter while Morrison is the better player off the dribble, added that "it's healthy for the sport. I don't think there's anything wrong with giving it to them both because they're both playing so well."
Keep in mind this is a peer talking here, not the media, not another coach.
"There's so much pressure on them to score that they should be co-players of the year," said Carney.
Carney should know. He defended against Redick in a three-point loss to Duke in New York on Nov. 25, when Redick was held to 4-of-9 shooting and 15 points in 36 minutes.
Carney also took a turn with Morrison in the Tigers' 83-72 win over the Zags on Dec. 27 in Memphis. Morrison hit for 34, going 9-of-20 (4-of-6 on 3s).
"You can't compare them because they're two different players," Carney said. "Morrison is more of a creator who can get his own shot off the dribble and can finish with a dunk. Redick comes off screens. You can bother Redick with your athleticism. Morrison is a little smarter, and he realized that if he couldn't get me off the dribble that he could take me down on the post. He just shot over me. They're both great players and can shoot the lights out. At any given time they can get a basket for their team. I've got a lot of respect for them."
Carney said Redick was actually harder to guard because of his conditioning.
"He continues to run and run and gets his shot off so quick," Carney said. "It's crazy to stay with him. J.J. is constantly running off screens. I guarded them both. Both of them should be player of the year."
So, if you don't buy my argument, or Roy Williams', then at least listen to the players who have dealt with them on the court. They know. And they agree Morrison and Redick should share the award.

At just 18 years of age, the Eagle-Vail, Colorado, teenager beat skilled slalom champions Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany, 29, Tina Maze of Slovenia, 30, and Marlies Schild of Austria, 32, to become the youngest gold medal winner in the history of the event. Yay!

Ex-Goldman Sachs Partner Cummings Joins JPMorgan Investment Bank
JPMorgan Chase & Co., the second-largest U.S. bank by assets, hired retired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. partner Robert Cummings Jr. as a vice chairman in the firm's investment bank.
Cummings, who most recently worked at GSC Capital Group as a senior managing director, spent 27 years at Goldman Sachs advising clients on strategic financing and mergers and acquisitions, New York-based JPMorgan said today in a statement. He will take on a similar role at JPMorgan, reporting to Jeffrey Urwin and Kevin Willsey, who co-run investment banking in the Americas.
"Bob brings to the firm a vast array of deep relationships from working with large multinational companies across various industries over the past three decades," Willsey said in the statement.
JPMorgan's investment bank was the top equity underwriter in 2009 and the first three quarters of this year among U.S. banks.
Cummings joined GSC in 2002 and sits on the boards of Corning Inc. and Viasystems Group Inc., according to the statement.
Cummings, who has a master's degree in business administration from the University of Chicago, studied art history at Columbia University after retiring from Goldman Sachs in 2001.

The VGA camera takes pictures in three resolutions--640x480, 320x240 and 160x120--with three separate quality selections (Fine, Normal, and Economy). The camera also features a 5- to 10-second self-timer; nine fun frames; four picture modes (including a night shot option); seven color tones; brightness and white-balance controls; multishot and stitch shot option; and two shutter sounds (plus a silent option). There's also a digital zoom, but it's unusable at the highest resolution. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't record video, which is a feature we'd like to see on this type of phone. Also, there's no flash, but there is a self-portrait mirror.
You can personalize the SCP-3200 with a variety of wallpapers, clock styles, background colors, animations, key tones and alert sounds. You can write a personalized greeting as well. If you want more options, you can download them from Sprint via the WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser.
We tested the dual-band, dual-mode (CDMA 800/1900; AMPS 800) SCP-3200 in San Francisco using Sprint's service. Call quality was pretty good overall. We enjoyed more than enough volume and great clarity. There was little static or interference, and we had no problem getting a signal. Voices sounded natural for the most part, though we noticed a slight metallic effect on a couple of occasions. It didn't distract from our overall experience, though. Callers said we sounded fine. They didn't report any significant problems, though the phone seemed to pick up some amount of wind noise. Also, they could tell we were using a cell phone. Automated answering systems could understand us in most environments.
Speakerphone calls were loud and clear, though we couldn't help but notice a very slight echo sound. Callers reported no issues on their end, however. Bluetooth calls were fine, and we had no problems pairing the SCP-3200 with a headset.
The SCP-3200 has a rated battery life of 3.8 hours talk time. According to FCC radiation testes, Sanyo SCP-3200 has a digital SAR rating of 1.41 watts per kilogram and an analog SAR rating of 1.40 watts per kilogram. In our tests, the battery life surpassed the rated time by about 2 hours for a total of 5 hours, 8 minutes.

A blaze in an abandoned building in New Orleans' Ninth Ward killed at least eight people Tuesday morning, reports CBS affiliate WWL in New Orleans. Two people survived the fire.
A fire and rescue spokesperson told WWL that a group of people had gathered in the building and burned wood in a barrel to stay warm. The fire broke out around 2 a.m. and the survivors got out through a window.
Temperatures were around freezing overnight in New Orleans.
New Orleans Fire Chief Charles Parent said the bodies have been turned over to the coroner's office, but that firefighters couldn't tell their age or gender. He said that cadaver dogs will be brought in at daylight in case there were others in the building.
Parent said the fire department has a program to check abandoned buildings and to close them up and secure them but said the number of them makes it near impossible to guarantee that all are closed up properly.

Sourcing Strategies of European Clothing Retailers are changing
In its report "Profiles and Sourcing Activities of Clothing Retailers in Europe 2012", Hamburg-based secondary market research firm yStats.com has compiled general facts and sourcing information for 78 clothing retailers.
Sourcing Activities often take place abroad
Many clothing companies source their products from outside of Europe, especially Asia. In 2011, nearly 1400 manufacturers in over 40 countries worldwide manufactured more than 800 million items of clothing for Spanish clothing company Inditex. The German Otto Group sources its products via trading and sourcing organization Hermes-OTTO International from more than 5000 suppliers in 70 countries. The French Etam Group has a sourcing company in Shanghai, Etam International Sourcing, which coordinates all suppliers in Asia. Danish clothing firm Bestseller sources its products largely from Asia - China, India and Bangladesh - as well as from Turkey and Italy. The production of Russian firm Oodji/August OOO is also largely based in Asia: 24 million clothing items are manufactured in Asia each year for this company.
China loses Manufacturing Clients
Increasing Chinese labor costs have prompted some firms to transfer their production to other countries, including their own. A large number of companies, especially in Turkey and Russia, now manufacture their goods in their home country. In Turkey, the government provides incentives for national manufacturers. Encouraged by this development, Turkish clothing company Akygit, operator of the Collezione shops, plans to move its clothing production to Turkey. In 2012, British clothing chain River Island also plans to move part of its production from China back to Great Britain due to increased costs.
Sustainable Production, Social Justice and Health Protection increasingly important
The report "Profiles and Sourcing Activities of Clothing Retailers in Europe 2012" by yStats.com shows that more and more companies emphasize sustainable production of at least part of their goods. When sourcing products, OTTO-Group adheres to strict social standards and environmental regulations. British retail chain Marks&Spencer sources its products from Asia and Great Britain and aims to become the most sustainable clothing manufacturer in the world by 2015. Italian Benetton Group sources its products from Asia and Europe and also aims to ensure ethically-sound and sustainable production. Swedish company KappAhl sources all of its products from external partners and prioritizes protection of the environment:
Many clothing companies source their products internationally, but there is also an opposite trend towards sustainability and location loyalty.

Anything is possible
What is the word/phrase Ami and Yumi say at the beginning of nearly every episode of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi Show? It sounds like "soo-tah-toe," phonetically. DOT Jr. is a huge fan, so in our household, this is a question of some importance. As seen in this clip.
Multi-language books
I'm putting together a book that contains text in all the United Nations languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. I've had each text proofread individually, but now I'm sitting wondering. How can I make sure I haven't missed something blindingly obvious in the formatting or layout of the entire book? [more inside]
Help me set a realistic language learning goal
I work with many (Latin American) Spanish speaking families. I would like to be able to communicate with them, even a little. Help me figure out a realistic plan to acquire more language skills this summer. [more inside]
Endangered U.S. culture: what remains underdocumented?
Tell me about what cultures, cultural practices, arts, religions, languages, lifestyles, hobbies, habits, fashion, unconventional individuals/families, or any other aspects of human life in the U.S. still remain severely underdocumented; or are at risk of fading away before they can be properly or meaningfully documented.

Computer science machine language help! If-then-otherwise statements
We are working on simple machine language in computer science for data manipulation. All the other problems I have gotten through but this last one. Here is the problem: "Write a short program in machine language to perform requested activity. Assume the program is placed in memory starting at address 00- -If the value stored in memory location 44 is 00, then place the value 01 in memory location 46; otherwise, put the value FF in memory location 46." Lots of questions inside DX Working with very basic Op-code and Operand setups. [more inside]
Need a Russian translation, please.
I want to make this shawl, and I can read the diagram for the most part, but I can't quite get the measurements figured out. Can anyone tell me roughly what the directions say? I'm pretty sure it's in Russian. I'd really appreciate it.
Online Audio Language Database?
I once read a language encyclopedia which had the Lord's Prayer printed in lots of different languages. I'm looking for the same thing (not necessarily the Lord's Prayer), but audio. I want to hear a passage translated into many different languages and real aloud. I've exhausted my Google skills. Anyone know of such a source?
Offline resources for new language learner
I'm learning Spanish. I'd like to take tablet or paper-based resources with me on an upcoming trip to keep the momentum going, but won't have internet access during that time. What should I take? [more inside]
Recommended reading about gender and language, gender generally
I was reading this comment by KathrynT about men's perceptions of women in groups being equal in number when the no. of women is 17%, women having to comprise over 80% of group members to get equal speaking time with men. I'd really like to know where this came from, about gender and language more widely, gender and misperceptions generally. I'm looking for book recommendations but am also interested in anything else you think is a good resource - blogs, articles etc. [more inside]
Bilingual Japanese-English storybooks
We are an American-Japanese family living in the US. We have a 4 year old and a 1 year old who we would like to raise as bilingual as possible. We read both English storybooks and Japanese storybooks, but would love your recommendations for some books that have the story in both English and Japanese side-by-side. Would also be happy to hear about books readily available in both languages. Bonus points if you can vouch for the quality of the story and the translation. (Have you ever read "Goodnight Moon" in Japanese? It's not pretty.) [more inside]

The "visual onomatopoeia" for words like sizzling, hot, chilly, etc.
Sometimes, on restaurant menus or in other media that I'm not recalling at the moment, the text styling will reflect the meaning of the word. Examples off the top of my head: sizzling, hot, chilly. Here's an example in an advertisement. What would you call this phenomenon? The most apt description I can come up with is visual onomatopoeia, but is there a better word for this?
Can an animal understand a rhyme
Can any animal understand a rhyme? Different animals can process different things that we consider part of normal cognition. What about rhymes? Have there been studies done to see which species agree with humans that certain human words rhyme? Can my cats appreciate that I rap for them

Generating factual statements from data
Let's say I have a large set of time series. There are a large number of factual statements that could be made about it, including some that are trivially algorithmically generated (e.g. "Soy beans are appreciating in cost faster than corn"). Is there a term for generating statements like this?
Please translate this mug
Can any [Japanese? Chinese?] speaker please translate this mug? I realize I only have a pic of one side of it, but it would be nice to know the gist of what it says. Thanks!!
Help me name this collective of cinematographers
Can you help me come up with a name for a group of very talented cinematographers based in New York? Naturally the first place I went to was the dictionary (word by word), jotting down everything that had to do with the craft. The technical terms are not interesting to them because they prefer a nice name that focuses on the artistic/storytelling aspect of it. Help? [more inside]
"Or no" or... no?
Lately I've started noticing the construction "or no" in places where I would have expected "or not". [more inside]
Need computer science maven! Predicate languages...
I was peripherally involved in a recent work project predicate languages parsing and some natural language. I am interested in learning about modern development environments in these areas. Very basic and on up - I know what predicates are and natural language processing at a beginner level, decent understanding of code and networks, but not computer scientist. I want to easily parse and database a string of predicates from another application, set a value, quickly evaluate only if relevant, evaluate them against a database and set a shared memory location. All thoughts appreciated!

"No touching!" Physical touch for the less inclined?
You are not a touchy feely person - that is, you do not openly express emotion or affection through physical contact. How have you learned to give and share love with people in your life whose primary love language is physical touch? [more inside]
Item is [colour] in colour vs. Item is [colour]
What is the difference in English between [1] "The flowers are white" and [2] "The flowers are white in colour"? Scientific texts (such as botanical descriptions) seem to prefer [2] and add "in colour" after the colour name though it is redundant. Form [1] wins the Google fight by a large margin and the Ngram for "white in color" shows a downward trend since the 1920s. Is it now OK to drop the "in colour" in contemporary (scientific) texts?
Tips and tricks supplemental to Duolingo to improve Spanish?
Spanish newbie filter. I'm teaching myself Spanish with the help of Duolingo and am having trouble with a few particular problem areas. Specifically, I would like some sort of handy way to recall present tense conjugations of the three types of verb. Something similar to differentiate the questions would be good as well. Also, if you use the app or found any handy methods while learning Spanish that aided recall, I would love to hear them. I'm enjoying this a lot and plan to stick with it. [more inside]
Why is this site in English and Dutch?
In the past, I've seen that sometimes English is interspersed with another language on certain websites. This site, however, has English titles to their posts, but most everything else is in Dutch. Why? [more inside]

Sound + image
I'd like to read stories in English with my daughter. [more inside]
Special words to describe specific relationships?
English does not have words for certain kinds of specific relationships, but other languages do. I am interested in learning examples of some of these words. [more inside]
Where can I find a good list of "feeling" adjectives?
In other words, I'm looking for a list of adjectives that could complete the sentence "I am feeling __." This is actually a fairly extensive group of adjectives, and I'm wondering whether this type of adjective is identified formally as a certain type of adjective (which would make it easier to find the set) or whether anyone has assembled such a list.
Trauma and Language
I have observed a new phenomenon in myself this year and noticed different patterns in how my brain interacts with language in the period after trauma. I have a lot of other stress reactions going on that seem to be hypothalamus stuff (loss of circadian rhythm, weird appetite things, feeling hot and sweaty) but am not sure how any of that plays into processing language. I would love to learn more about this, either from anecdotes or from a more research-based perspective. [more inside]
Help my hunt for an animal verb
In the vein of "squirrel away" or "ferret away" (and maybe even "badger"), I'm looking for a verb from the animal kingdom that means working hard at something, persistently and continually. It's come up a few times where I've wanted to say "Continue animaling away at the problem", but the particular beast I'm looking for eludes me. Help?

Singaporean.. text speak? or Singlish?
On internet fora, it isn't uncommon to see people using abbreviations/textspeak. I've noticed Singaporean posters using particularly idiosyncratic versions of this: 'dun' for don't, 'den' for then, 'TT' for that. Example. What's the origin of this? [more inside]
What are the current non-offensive terms for these activities?
My kids have asked me how to say a few things in English, but I realize the only terms I know were the racist terms used back when I was a kid. What are the current, non-offensive terms for these activities? [more inside]
There's a book for that! Multiple varieties of English version
I need a book on the different varieties of English, their spellings, grammar and punctuation and some info on vocabulary differences, too. But I'm having trouble finding one. [more inside]
What's Arabic for 'Kick Me?'
I have a T-shirt with text in some kind of Arabic language, and I have no idea what it says (or even what language it says it in!) There's also a small triangular logo with an antelope and the word 'Zama'. Does anyone know A) what language it is, B) what it says and C) what the context is? [more inside]
How to get around in Central Asia without knowing the languages?
I'm thinking of taking a solo trip to one or more of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. What's the language situation like in central Asia? How dumb an idea is this if I don't speak any Uzbek, Kazakh, or Russian (but do stick to the larger and more touristy cities and methods of transportation)? [more inside]
Words are hard.

I have the opportunity to request materials related to my discipline for my community college library. What should a language teacher ask for? [more inside]
English news sources for non-predominantly English countries?
Something that often frustrates me reading the newspaper or stories on the internet is that a majority of the "current serious issues" things are going to come from Western English-speaking countries. Can you recommend websites that provide English news about fairly non-English countries? (From my Australian perspective these include anywhere in Africa, Russia, India, Eastern Europe, so on.)
ESL resources for non-native ASL Speaker
I'm working with a woman who is in an interesting situation. She is deaf and was born and raised in Somalia. She learned ASL when she moved to the US a few years ago. She is now trying to learn to read and write English to improve her communication skills. Are there any good English learning resources for individuals who use ASL as their primary language?

Over the past month, I've been watching and reading coverage of the proposed bond for the Amarillo Recreation Complex, and as the former Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Chairman, I've been compelled to write.
I think the ARC is something the people of Amarillo cannot pass up. Amarillo is a growing city with growing needs, and by building the ARC, we would truly be investing in our future.
I'm not sure many people realize how much income our community is missing out on by not being able to host large-scale tournaments. With visitors comes money — money that's currently going to Lubbock, Dallas or some other city. Those same people could be spending their dollars at our restaurants, stores, attractions and hotels.
I find it important to point out how much Amarillo's hotel/motel tax helps enhance our culture and quality of life. It's used to restore historic buildings, promote the arts and upgrade transportation, among other things.
As a grandfather, I also feel it's important to look at how civic programs affect young people. The ARC will directly help children and young adults in our community. It's impossible to look to enhance the future of a community without looking to those who will be the future leaders and decision-makers in that community.
When heading to the polls to vote on this bond, please consider how voting "Yes" will help create a long-lasting and lucrative future for our community.

I'm an artist. Yes, that IS a surprise, considering this is an art site. I do many kinds of art, including writing. Been through good times and bad, something I am sure is true for many of us here. I love creativity. I love it when someone works hard to improve, which, as far as I can see, is exemplified by this site.
I do digital art and normal art: painting drawing, and many, many messes. Fantasy, dinosaurs, animals, abstracts, surrealism, portraits, and some kinds I have no names for are the kinds of stuff I do.
I am often iconoclastic and irreverent, but always respectful of honest effort, as I see it.

AIG's Gerry Pasciucco Had Us Until 'Porsche Cayenne'
Bloomberg magazine spent over 5,000 words getting us to like AIG's financial-products guy, then ruined it.
Bloomberg magazine spent over 5,000 words making us kind of like Gerry Pasciucco, the former Morgan Stanley vice-president currently in charge of winding down AIG's financial-products unit, but then comes this: "He said goodbye to his wife at their Georgian-style home in Greenwich, Connecticut, and drove his black Porsche Cayenne along the winding Merritt Parkway for the 15-minute commute."

He fought like a demon against Hilmer Kenty to win the title and then his crazy father made him drop the belt so he could be the WAA (World Athletic Association) champ -- and he promptly lost to Andy Gannigan in two. I think his head was pretty messed up by his father's shenanigans.
O'Grady wasn't an ATG, but he was a legit fighter.
A lot better than most posters in this forum will give him credit for being.

You've clocked two months of solid work since Christmas break and it's time for another escape.
After dealing with cancer for a few months now, I'm realizing that Hollywood may have -- are you ready for this? -- sensationalized what it's like to have cancer. Also, Julia Roberts is potentially deadly.
The Three Stooges were always the blue collar comedians of live action comedy shorts. They nyucked-nyucked their way through 190 group shorts, some 28 solo shorts and a couple of feature films. That's a lot of poked eyes.
Jesus Henry Christ is that rare cinematic combination of great story, touching performances and beautifully shot cinematography. I caught up with filmmaker Dennis Lee to ask him a few questions.
L'image de la femme véhiculée par ce film pose question. Passé 18 ans, la femme est pathétique. Elle devrait juste mourir. Comment ose-t-elle encore se montrer en public? Comment peut-elle même prétendre séduire?
To my surprise, I left the theater completely uninterested in fair Snow, and fascinated with the Wicked Queen and what the character's contemporary reincarnation was saying about how women think about the aging process now.
When I was 15, while on a date - my first date ever, actually -- I was kicked out of a movie theater. My crime (at least it was a "crime" by movie t...
The truth is, competition at the workplace and elsewhere does exist among women.
It's Valentine's Day. It's the holiday that's so wonderful if you're in love. Or makes you extremely bitter if you're not. Here's a little video I put together that sums up my feelings about the movie and the holiday.
The Internet can be used for a lot of bad stuff, but what it can also do is give us the power to reach out to the Twitter divas we love, and say thank you for doing what you do and keep on doing it.
Find me a few stars of stage, screen and song with the principle and courage that Frank Sinatra showed when he stood up for his brother Sammy Davis Jr. in the 1950's and you can change the world and help end this cold season of hardship and discontent.
In September, I wrote about the transition of the generations between actors and how we're at a moment where we can see it happening.
Before you jump at the chance for a midlife 'do-over,' you may want to consider these three essential psychological components to determine your readiness to take on major transformations at this stage of life.
Want to stay in shape but don't have the time? As a fitness trainer, I have always been an advocate that you don't need a gym membership to stay in shape, you can work out at home -- or even better, outdoors!
The movie was made and marketed toward an older audience, but Larry Crowne may have proven this holiday weekend how limited that boomer audience actually is.
There are those who will scream "DISAPPOINTMENT!" because Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opened with $200 million in its first five days two years ago. If $180 million in six days is disappointment, sign me up for failure anytime.

Pick up a rotisserie chicken, and you're halfway done with these quick, healthy recipes.
In summer, the last place you want to be is in the kitchen! But by midseason, you can get pretty tired of sandwich suppers and takeout. So, I'll let you in on a summertime secret of mine: I often buy a rotisserie chicken and use it as a starter for an easy dinner recipe.
You can pick up a whole roasted or rotisserie chicken at supermarkets for around $7 (which is about what it would cost you to buy it raw, by the way). You can get ready-to-go chickens at most supermarket chains, big club stores like Costco, and local BBQ restaurants as well as chains like Boston Market.
Just take one home, invest about five minutes to pull the meat away from the skin and bones, and then the sky's the limit! You're already halfway to a bunch of healthy and quick dishes.
Before you get started on my cool and easy rotisserie chicken recipes (below), here are six rules of thumb for buying and cooking with rotisserie or roasted chickens:
1. Know what you're getting. One rotisserie chicken will give you about 4 cups of shredded chicken, both white and dark meat (no skin). The typical chicken translates into about 12 ounces of light meat and 8 ounces of dark meat (no skin), which gives you a total of:
- 1,037 calories
- 166 g protein
- 0 g carbohydrate
- 34 g fat
- 10.4 g saturated fat
- 13.7 g monounsaturated fat
- 8.2 g polyunsaturated fat
- 505 mg cholesterol
- 0 g fiber
- 451 mg sodium (unless some sodium is added to season the chicken before roasting)
- 30% calories from fat
2. Once you find a good source for rotisserie chickens, learn the best time to buy them. You want the chicken to be fresh, not standing under the lamps for a while. And you want to make sure you have plenty to choose from. You don't want get there at 6:15 p.m. only to find out that the last chicken has been snatched up and they stopped making them at 6 p.m.
