About the Book
This is the book that started it all! The basis for the smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Gregory Maguire's breathtaking New York Times bestseller Wicked views the land of Oz, its inhabitants, its Wizard, and the Emerald City, through a darker and greener (not rosier) lens. Brilliantly inventive, Wicked offers us a radical new evaluation of one of the most feared and hated characters in all of literature: the much maligned Wicked Witch of the West who, as Maguire tells us, wasn't nearly as Wicked as we imagined.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic tale, we heard only her side of the story. But what about her arch-nemesis, the mysterious Witch? Where did she come from? How did she become so wicked? And what is the true nature of evil?
Gregory Maguire creates a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at Oz the same way again. Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability, and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence. And then there is the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to become the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, a smart, prickly, and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil.

AbstractThe recent development of the theory of fluctuation relations has led to new insights into the ever-lasting question of how irreversible behavior emerges from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics. We provide an introduction to fluctuation relations, examine their relation to dissipation and discuss their impact on the arrow of time question.

Stanley Howard's Arizona Cardinals Fan Profile
Brief description
Arizona Cardinals Football
Extended profile
Who am I?
My name is Stanley Howard. I know I have the nerdiest name a mother can give a little, breast-fed child, but it's the name I have. I guess destiny had my plans pre-determined. You were made to be a writer. You shall bear a writer's name. From this day forward, you shall be dubbed "Stanley". Honestly, I was named after my Jewish grandfather. My mother felt it was important to carry on his name. So why am I here? There is one reason and one reason only...Az. Cardinals Football! And the season is still so young. Count on seeing me around, at least, for the remainder of the year. Oh, what a year this will be!

Cardinals Report: Week 13 posted on 11/26/2008
Arizona Cardinals Prepare For Philadelphia Eagles
Kurt Warner Is Possible MVP Candidate Of The Year
The Az. Cardinals are 7-4...WOW!!! I have supported this team through thick and thin (mostly thin) since the Cardinals in 1988, decided to call Arizona their home. I have spent the last twenty, sometimes embarrassing, sometimes very embarrassing years, rooting for this highly-let's call it-unorthodox organization. The Cards are 7-4. To actually get a chance to witness this historical event is better then exciting. Better then monumental. Better then chocolate ice cream on a summer afternoon after you just had a quickie from the girl next door. O.K. -let's not get carried away. To be able to see what the Card's are doing this year is awesome. It's incredible and fun-to-watch football. It is...WOW!!!

Cardinal Report: Week No.7 posted on 10/19/2008
Good "Bye" Cardinals
Red Birds Take The Week Off
Six games have been played and the Arizona Cardinals (4-2) stand two games ahead of the rest of their division. The first half of the season is just two short, weeks away. The Cardinals haven't looked this good in 20 years. The Red Birds take this week off, licking their wounds, enjoying the wonderful, Arizona sunshine, and celebrating as a winning team. A team who appears to have what it takes to make it, at least, one game into the play-offs. The Az. Cardinals are 4-2...Wow!!
Of course, let's not get carried away. The Cardinals still have a lot of work to do. They must prepare for next week when they are on the road and battling the very tough Carolina Panthers.

Cardinals Report: Week 5 posted on 10/05/2008
Arizona Cardinals Playing Conservative Football
Can They Defeat the 4-0 Buffalo Bills?
Three weeks ago, the Arizona Cardinals were sitting atop the NFC West Division with 2 wins and no losses. A terrific start for the season and a position the Cards haven't been in for a long time. Things were good, Coach Whisenhunt was looking like a hero (perhaps even Coach of the Year), and the Cards were gaining national attention. So much has happened in the following 2 weeks, the Cardinals, after losing to the Washington Redskins (24-17) and then to the New York Jets (56-35), have gone and dug themselves a rather big hole. Ironically, at 2-2, the Cardinals are still number one in their division, but the season is still early. Today will be the biggest test, yet, as the Arizona Cardinals go up against the 4-0, Buffalo Bills.

Cardinal Report: Week No. 3 posted on 09/19/2008
Cardinals Ready To Face Redskins
Can The Cards Win Three In A Row?
The tension mounts as eager Cardinals fans await Sunday's big game against the Washington Redskins. The Arizona Cardinals have won their first two games of the season and sit atop the NL West Division at 2-0. The Redskins are 1-1. Sunday's game will be played in Washington DC, which is the home of the Redskins. On paper, the Arizona Cardinals appear to have the advantage and should walk away from the nation's Capitol with a victory. But, as history shows (2-6 last year), the Cards do not fair very well on the road. Knowing how the Cardinals perform through past experiences, to win their first 3 games in a row, do the Cardinals even have a chance in Hades?
Arizona Cardinals quarterback, Kurt Warner has just received the "Player of the Week" award for his outstanding performance, last Sunday, against the Miami Dolphins. Warner threw for 361 yards with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. He finished the game with a perfect, 158.3 quarterback rating.

Arizona Cardinals Lead NFC Division
Kurt Warner Perfect QB Rating
Sunday, September 14th, the Arizona Cardinals crush the Miami Dolphins (31-10), in front of a sold-out crowd at the University of Phoenix Stadium. The Cards have won their last two games and sit atop the NFC Division with 2 wins and no losses. Along with this victory, the Cardinals have their best start since 1991. Wait a minute...this is the Az. Cardinals we're talking about, right?

While the 2016 NHL Draft lacks some of the drama that was provided leading up to last year's draft, when Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel vied for the right to go first overall, there is nevertheless some very good talent to be had at the top of this year's event. And even beyond the top 5, NHL clubs drafting in the first round should be able to land some good talent that will almost certainly suit up for NHL action in the not too distant future. Read more»

Marner, Labanc tops among NHL properties on the wing in OHL
The Ontario Hockey League was stocked with talent up front this season and it culminated in a season for the ages for one London Knight. But while Toronto Maple Leafs' prospect Mitchell Marner may have been the top winger this year, he was not the only show in the league.
The OHL was blessed with a depth of elite-quality, NHL-drafted talent on its wings this season, with the best of that group being ranked below. Read more»

Karbonn Titanium S1
Have you purchased this item?Write A Review
I waited quite sometime for my first Android. I was pretty clear of what I wanted - A device with atleast 1GB RAM and the latest version of Android. And the price shouldn't make me feel robbed. The Karbonn S1 Titanium checked all these and the performance in my first week of ownership has been nothing less than great. Only cons I can see 1) The 1600mAh battery, charged fully the night before, ends up empty by 6-7pm, the next day 2) The camera is not the best around, but is decent enough for casual photography 3) There are no screen-guards or mobile covers for this device currently.
Hardwares Specs Cons: 1. Sanpdragon QuadCore 1.2 Processor 2. Adreno 203 GPU 3. qHD 4.5" High Bright Screen 4. 1600 mAh Bttery is Good , no issues.. 5 Look inherited form Apple :P ..
this phone is nice but is seems to be made for bisnusmen's as there is low end gpu.
main issue of s1 it hang many time I have to switch off it and again I have to start it many times.i don't play any video or no at all songs in my phone I use official but not worth as it hangs and takes my time.
Camera quality is below Par. Especially the low light images. Cant locate the zoom function of the camera (if present) Otherwise a great phone with sensitive touch and good response
ON SD specs the FM is shown as present, but in the actual product there is no FM. Visited Karbonn site. There is no mention of FM on either S1 or S5. Spent a lot of time searching where the FM could be, but got disappointed as it doesn't exist as far as I could search.
mobile gets heated very often and soon. battery downs in minutes.
best processor and 203 graphic card ram 1gb give ultra gaming experince i play 2-3gb game without lag and cheap but only problem is low battery but you can change it good luck
Karbonn S1 is good except the Battery, else value for money...
good but battery need to be improvise
less price but good performance
battery is horrible...........phone hangs ..boot up time is too long
First of all the delivery of phone was fast by the seller. The phone is a mini version of Samsumg Galaxy S4 but except for the display i didn't find anything which doesn't include in the mini version. The features are topmost in a phone with such a low price! The only annoying thing i found in this phone was that when the signal is weak and after moving to good signal reception the phone doesn't receive or make calls. The only way to do is reboot the phone. Battery lasts for a day with normal use. Every budget buyers should consider this phone due to its features and also the software support by Samsung.
According to price, product is good, not great, but if it falls down too many times, will break easily.. ONE should put back cover...
Could be an old model with a dated snapdragon processor but performs well.. no lags no heating issues. Camera is really bad and of no use. Display is fine and battery could be better. Wifi and speaker phone performance is all good.. Build quality is not so great.. could last longer with a case..

Feature #2172
Enumerable#chunk with no block
What should "(1..3).chunk" (i.e. without a block) do?
It issued an
ArgumentError: tried to create Proc object without a block
I changed the error message to "no block given" which I hope to be more informative, but maybe there is something more useful to do here?
A default block of {|x| x} doesn't seem all that useful.
Returning an enumerator that, upon completion, will return an enumerator would probably be better, but could also be a bit confusing if someone doesn't realize he forgot to specify the block?
Thanks to Run Paint for raising the question when writing the rubyspec for #chunk.

Travelocity (parent company Sabre Holdings) not following through with promises of rebooking flight. Must pay 100 percent, lose ticket even if insurance is pruchased.
I have filed my case with them four months ago and have heard nothing. I have noticed there are nearly 50 other cases filed. My case is similar to the others. I had to change my plans and even with insurance, I had to buy another ticket even though I was told I would just pay a fee to change. Big lie. I am willing to hire a lawyer to sue them.
How many does it take for a class action???
The following is the parent company's compliance officer's message urging them to be ethical:
Compliance Officer's Message
David A. Schwarte
Executive Vice President and General Counsel
Sabre Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries do business according to the highest ethical and legal standards, complying with both the letter and spirit of the law.
The Corporation's Business Ethics Policy provides our personnel with important information about meeting our high ethical and legal standards. The Policy applies globally, to all of our personnel, and to all of our subsidiaries. It covers a wide range of topics, such as conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, confidentiality, fair dealing, protection and proper use of company assets. It also addresses compliance with laws, including insider trading rules.
We expect our directors, officers, employees and other personnel working on our behalf to always act according to our Policy, and to ensure the policy is followed by their subordinates. We regularly remind our personnel of important provisions of the Policy. Periodically, we survey all of our managers to solicit information about known or suspected Policy violations. We do not tolerate knowing violations.
We also encourage all of our personnel to report any suspected crimes, violations of our Policy, or any concerns about accounting or auditing matters. We publish and provide several reporting methods, including an anonymous hotline that is available 24 hours each day.

|Applications of Surface Metrology in Toolmark Identification
|January 08, 2014
|Surface metrology is commonly used to characterize functional engineering surfaces. The technologies developed offer opportunities to improve forensic toolmark identification. In 2009, a report by the National Academies called into question, amongst others, the objectivity of visual toolmark identification by firearms examiners. The National Academies recommended development of objective toolmark identification criteria and characterization of error rates. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses its experience in surface metrology to develop objective identification criteria, measurement methods, and reference artefacts. Objectivity is improved through measurement of areal surface topography and application of unambiguous surface similarity metrics, such as the maximum value (ACCFMAX) of the areal cross correlation function. Case studies were performed on consecutively manufactured tools, such as gun barrels and breechfaces, to demonstrate that even in this worst case scenario, all the tested tools imparted unique surface topographies that were identifiable. These studies provide scientific support for toolmark evidence admissibility in criminal court cases.

"Always being a little hesitant when dealing with the unknown I must give kudos to you personally and your crew. I felt much more confident when just the materials arrived and was dutifully impressed with the packaging. The panelling is installed and primed and painted with two coats of oil based semigloss. We could not ask for a better end result. Everything was as perfect as could possibly be expected. The most difficult part was relocating the outlets which is a must to the bottom rail. It must be age but manipulating three sets of 12 gauge wire into one of the boxes is certainly a fete. The detail of your product is really the best that I could find. Almost as if I had a master carpenter on site. Just two concerns for other less versed homeowners. For some more detail on how to create a esthetic return on the chair rail might be helpful. I worked along side of my father for years, and being a dentist involved with detail this was not trouble for me. One other item is making sure that the installer installs clockwise for the entire room especially following the installation of the bottom and top rail otherwise the cuts of both will not match. Wish you needed a spokesman for your product. Thanks again and continued success."

Operation Football: Cedarburg v Whitefish Bay
Operation Football coverage traveled to Cedarburg vs Whitefish Bay.
Just Curious: How do you distribute the Muslim migrants fairly? Send them back to the Arab nations who refuse to take in any refugees. Why are they traveling to Europe when there's plenty of room for them in other Arab nations? Merkel needs to get her head out of her behind and see what's really happening. It's also time for the UN and all other global organizations to realize that they cannot demand the re-distribution of people without the consent of the citizens living in the countries affected by this blatant disregard for what they want. It's time for the UN to disban. What do they do anyway besides dictating to others while they live in the lap of luxury? It's easy to dictate to others when you are protected from any repercussions for your ill-advised demands.

Release Date:
August 4, 2009
The members of Revis are as hungry as Creed and Nickelback, but confident enough to work without radio-tailored psychobabble for their first album. Places for Breathing is a post-alternative mix of explosive guitar riffs and riotous percussion, a strong musical disposition from this Midwestern five-piece. Producer Don Gilmore, who engineered Pearl Jam's debut masterpiece, Ten, focuses on Justin Holman's fierce vocal style. Revis' powerful musicianship is tightly woven around that; however, Revis doesn't have much of a chance to stand apart from the alt-metal pack. From the crunchy album opener, "Caught in the Rain," to "Spin"'s aggressive atmosphere, Revis delivers a catchier melody but falls slightly short in being unique. Throw in a few acoustic-based ballads ("Seven,""Living Rooms") to please the pop kids in the process and you're safe. For a band whose members are barely in their twenties, Revis does show some promise on Places for Breathing. The band cannot thrive on West Coast ideals like most of its counterparts, so naturally its sound will have a different tone -- and that will work for Revis in the long run as long as the group doesn't overcompensate in song and craft. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

In 1976, he came to the United States to broaden his horizons. Due to his great versatility—as evidenced by his ability to excite audiences with show-stopping solos on native Brazilian percussion instruments such as the cuica, pandeiro, berimbau and tamborin, and conversely, to back a jazz vocalist with great sensitivity—he is in great demand.
Sampaio has performed with top musicians such as Miles Davis, Jon Faddis, Randy Brecker, Toninho Horta, Gary Peacock, Dave Kikoski, Bob Mentzer, Flora Purin, Airto Moreira, Rita Moreno, Lionel Hampton, Phil Perry, Peter Erskine, Louie Bellson, Harvey Mason and Billy Cobham, both in concert and in clinics. He has also played on albums and CD projects with such artists as Robert Irving III, Toninho Horta, Colby/Caruso and Darryl Tooks.
Sampaio gives concerts, workshops, clinics, lectures and master classes in schools throughout the country, exposing thousands of students to joyful Brazilian music while demonstrating the art of ensemble playing. He also performs with various artists, bands and orchestras for major events around the country. Dedé became an American citizen and lives in Chicago with his wife and son.

Vic M, it seems to me like you are attempting to taunt me that Obama and Oprah are from Chicago? buddy I made a road trip to Indiana to help get us the edge in that state, i spent hours in call centers trying to get a pulse of the voters for Obama's campaign. so if you think you are taunting me to say that Obama is from Chicago then you are way off base there bud.
