I can not convey just how disappointed I was by this chapter. Some actual analysis of how the season went so wrong and given that why the forecast for this season is more optimistic would have been nice (other than RG3 being "back"). Is adding Desean Jackson critical to the team? What does the new coach bring? Are we worried about concussions for Reed?
Instead we get a overly long D&D based joke attacking Synder. As a long suffering Washington Redskins fan I get it, I don't like the guy either but this is not the reason I buy the Almanac (or have bought it for many years now). Maybe the joke is just completely lost on me given I'm English?
As for not using the name, is this now FO policy? If so fair enough, but I would like to be clear on this to clear up any misunderstanding?

I did not read the section yet. But I have to comment that I can understand if the name is not changed. In the times of the internet everything (incl. all miscues) is stored and kept for ages. And therefore nobody dares to say anything of substance because there might be a controversy in it. And many minorities (in the sense of few people, not in the sense of ethical minority) do police the internet and cry foul if they find anything.
Considering that the name Redskins originated, to the best of my knowledge, from red Indians that painted their faces in RED, this is pretty much ridiculous. I do understand that red Indians do feel offended in case somebody says Redskin, using the word as an insult. And I really do not like any racism or similar. But the thing is that the intention is the bad thing. Not the word on its own.
I can say "you dirt bucket" to somebody as an insult. But I am not sure we want to get rid of the expression dirt bucket.
So I would feel a lot better in case we police "intentions" instead of "words". That would make a lot more sense to me and also make the world a better place. All we get out of this current moral policing, that it only increases the problem. And we get a lot of interviews that have no substance at all.
In case a word suffices the following three criteria:
a) not used in a racist ways (I dont believe anybody talks about the Washington Redskins and meanwhile thinks pejoratively about red Indians)
b) has a long history of usage in a non racist way (teamname)
c) and even originates from a non-racist context (painting faces red)
there needs not be a teamname change.
To be honest, I am not sure if c) is true but I read it somewhere. But actually only a) and b) would already qualify in my book for no team name change.
Sorry, my 2 cents. Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I had to vent.
To the OP: Sorry for high-jacking your thread.
PS: Disclaimer: I am a Caucasian from Germany, in case anybody cares. And do not excuse racism in any way.
I respectfully disagree.
First of all, words still matter when there is a long history of intentions behind the word. When you go back through 17-18 century European colonial/early American literature, "redskin" was used far more commonly in a negative connotation, while the term "Indian" was used far more commonly in a neutral and positive connotation. Just to give you some context, a horrific example were official decrees by various colonial governments that offered bounties for the scalps of "red-skins" (the term was used most often in this context).
The point of this little history lesson is to illustrate the fact that pejorative names are often used in the context of violence, and is the reason their usage evokes such emotion. It's the same reason that "Negro" and "N*gger" have similar origins, but will evoke dramatically different reactions if you utter them in public. The usage of the term "redskin" in racist ways has been far longer than, and predates the history of using it in, as you say, in "non-racist" ways.
Second of all, a lot of native americans been vocal for a while about the fact that they find the term offensive. I haven't heard very much from the supposedly large (according the Daniel Snyder) population of native americans that have no problem with the word. If I had heard more from them, then I would probably have little to say about this matter. (and please don't bring up polls from 10 years ago, that haven't been independently verified for containing a representative sample). You shouldn't get to call somebody something that they find offensive, just because you don't think they should be offended.
-"I can say "you dirt bucket" to somebody as an insult. But I am not sure we want to get rid of the expression dirt bucket."
That analogy doesn't really work, since "dirt bucket" isn't really an ethnic/racial/gender/sexual orientation slur. In your case, since you state that you are German (not sure if you are an American of German descent, or you are a German national), a better analogy would be that even though "Kraut" is a pejorative term, that doesn't mean we should get rid of the word "Sauerkraut" ("Kraut" or "Hun" may or may not offend many Germans today, but it probably would have offended a lot of German-Americans who lived here through both World Wars).
I have a personal example, being an American of Indian descent (Indian from India, not the Native American). "Dothead" and "Macacca" are pejorative terms for my ethnicity. By themselves, they seem benign, but the history of usage matters. In fact, "Maccaca" is the name of a genus of Old World monkeys, so I wouldn't say to get rid of the word. But if someone called me that to my face, I would consider risking arrest for an aggravated assault charge (not because of the word, but because I know the history and intentions behind the word). [And just for people who think the term only became offensive after the George Allen controversy in 2006, let me assure you that I have older relatives who were alive during the British Colonial days, and they knew exactly what the word meant].
Many thanks for your thoughtful response. Very good points. I am still not sure if I agree with all points, but I realize that my statements might be motivated because I hate the morality cudgel, thats wants to have the whole world 100% politically correct and hunts down all statments irrespective of intention. I do realize that this might not be the case here.
PS: I am not offended by Kraut. I even think it is funny, especially because of the sound. And I am German origin, not US. But I have no idea if others are offended by that term. And that does not in anyway affect the Redskins discussion.
Not the main point of my post but the name issue is interesting.
To be fair, Topas, as another white Caucasian based in Europe I have no "feel" for whether the term Redskin is racist or not. Part of my belief that the word Redskin as a term was acceptable was the fact there was an NFL team using the moniker! That is about as backward thinking as you can get. When the killer question was asked, would you use the term Redskin to describe someone to their face? Honestly my answer two years ago or so would have been a (blissfully unaware) yes. I wouldn't say that now and so maybe the name does need to change.
Skip the name argument. I'm for changing the name.
I'd just like a real chapter like 31 other teams. I come to FO for football analysis. I can make fun of Dan Snyder in my own time.
I could not agree more with the original poster. FO used to be about advanced statistics. Causation, explanation, and prediction. I am not for the team name and probably would welcome a change, but that's not the point. The point is that they wasted the entire chapter on the owner and his past and how horrible he has been and still is. Who cares? Is this what FO has become? Op-ed pieces? I want to know the stats. What was luck and what was true. I've purchased every single almanac since inception and this is by far the worst team chapter I have ever read. FO has a long way to go before they can ever be compared to BP, who still tries their best to analyze the numbers and stay out of the media driven headlines.
Money was wasted this year.
This chapter is a joke and insulting. Either talk about the team like the 31 other teams, or just remove them from the documents and stats and everything.
Exactly. Schatz and company completely forgot why people by their book.
After all the hubub, I just had to go read the Washington chapter to see for myself. Despite not being a fan of the team, I have to agree with everyone else who's posted here. I love to make fun of Dan Snyder as much as any red-blooded American football fan, but this should have been a Walkthrough column, not an FOA chapter.
Not a Skins fan, but that was a pretty terrible chapter. One of their previous books had a chapter that was essentially a Snyder Takedown Chapter but it was actually well written (2006 I think?).
What the hell? Now I even have to read about this crap on the statistics website? We get it, you hate Snyder and the Redskins organizational philosophies, you've made it clear in every version for the last 5 years.
I would have been much less upset with a chapter that simply said "We don't know what they'll look like with a new coaching staff. Here are last year's stats:"
Having read some of the other chapters, such as Buffalo and Baltimore's- I am even more annoyed now given how good they were at setting out what is happening at those teams. Hey FO, I love the site and the prior stuff, I love 90% plus of your work but you have with respect got this one so badly wrong I would politely request a redo! If this was homework from my boy for school I'd tell him to rewrite it!
It is just piling on. We are fans of the team, but that does not mean we have to like the owner. I just want a fair chapter about football, the coaching staff, etc.
If you are going to write a chapter like this, just leave it out. We are fans of the team, not necessarily the owner or management. Either treat the team the same or just remove all mentions of it - not just from the book. From your data, from articles, everything.
I actually loved this chapter and thought it was brilliant, although I love Joe Dever (and thus get the joke) and am indifferent about the Washington football team.
I understand fans of the team being a little bit upset, but at the same time, the template for a straightforward Washington chapter has been the same for the last 14 years, which is the point of the satire, isn't it? Team signs big name for too high price (in $ and/or draft picks), rest of the team are scrubs.
If we're looking for satire about the Redskins, we can go to Deadspin and not waste our $$.
So because the team owner, who many fans of the team do not like, is a jerk, we don't deserve regular football analysis?
Is FO in the business of writing joke chapters in their once a year main publication?
We are football fans, just like fans of the other 31 teams. Talk football.
System duplicated my comment, so I edited this one out.
1. FO almost always produces excellent analysis. This chapter was terrible. Even the format was awkward (CAPS words, dashes, an empty "Action Chart", and so forth). I really see FO as a standard of excellence for NFL analysis, so this chapter is a tremendous disappointment.
2. Whatever your opinion of the team name, I don't want to read about it in the FO Almanac.
3. The chapter read a bit like a user manual for Dungeons & Dragons - but I've never played D & D, so I'm guessing here. Am I in any way on the right track: that there is some inside joke that I'm not getting?
(Disclosure: the Redskins are not the team I cheer for)
Hey angry people! Chapter writer here.
I'll definitely think twice about creating a chapter like this in the future. It was an experiment, and as we were under the gun on time, I think that made Aaron more amenable to letting it pass without a challenge.
What this really comes down to is a simple matter of the audience. I've had people tell me it was the funniest, best, chapter in the book. I've had people call me a hack for it -- or otherwise insinuate bad things -- in many places besides this thread. If you are angry with the chapter, it's likely that you were not the intended audience for it. And that is perfectly okay, and you can call it shit and think I am the world's worst person. I can live with that.
In the future, with ideas I have like this, I'll let them be an aside rather than letting them become the chapter. I'm not typically a writer who aims for controversy. I saw a piece idea I wanted to pull off and went for it. If you'd like me to mail you a quarter for "wasting" your time -- which is probably my per-chapter cut of each book we sell -- shoot me an email. rivers (dot) mccown (dot) work (at) gmail (dot) com.
What a response......... /eyeroll....
"If you'd like me to mail you a quarter for "wasting" your time"
Good job with trivializing people's feelings toward your blatant mocking of our team. You really come off arrogant here....
" If you are angry with the chapter, it's likely that you were not the intended audience for it."
More mocking... thanks! Good of you to continue to trivialize people's reactions...
"shoot me an email. rivers (dot) mccown (dot) work (at) gmail (dot) com."
Prepare to be signed up for a million or so newsletters of various inappropriate subject matters. ;)
"In the future, with ideas I have like this, I'll let them be an aside rather than letting them become the chapter."
Bingo. I enjoyed your chapter, but I totally understand how those who wanted a straightforward analysis were disappointed. I'd say if you want to do something like this in the future give Washington an extra page, have your Danny rant plus the standard stuff.
Rivers, thanks for the response. Any chance you can do a Washington article on FO website which is more in keeping with the analysis I assume most people expect from the Almanac?
I wasn't angry and I don't think you are "shit", I just think it was a massive misjudgement with regards to what the team chapters are actually meant to be.
That's not going to happen, sorry.
If you'd like me to mail you a quarter for "wasting" your timE
Rivers - thanks for the response. Much appreciated.
really glad Rivers responded, very classy. However, I would just like to add that the quarter back refund bit was almost as bad as the entire write up. For starters, marginalizing our disdain because it was such a small portion of the book just makes the semi-apology worthless. Furthermore, taking the 1/n approach to coming up with the presumed value of the refund is about the worst way to calculate it; it is the #1 fault of how non-finance types allocate their 401 k. For Redskins fans, the team chapter might be worth up to half of the cost of the book! Just saying.
I came here today specifically to say the same thing that many here are saying.
I have bought your book for nearly 8 years. I was beyond infuriated w/ your chapter on the Redskins. Calling the chapter the "Washington Controversies" was bad enough. Then you go on an attempted humorous diatribe about Dan Snyder, the name of the team, etc. While some of it is legitimate facts (win/loss numbers, grabbing at washed up players...), the majority of it was simply opinion-based BS.
Saying that Dan Snyder is the next David Stern was WAAAY out of line. Perhaps you may have forgotten this, but Dan didn't name the Redskins. David Stern was recorded making actual racist remarks of his own creation and own mind. Dan is trying to protect the name of his franchise, his business, his livelihood. There's a HUGE difference in that and what David Stern did. Comparing the two was a totally classless low-blow.
Being a Redskins fan, I am so beyond mad that I spent money on the book, a big portion of which is to read about my own team. To spend that money on what I thought was a factual, statistical publication only to find that you've subjected my team to a piling on, Bob Costas-like soap box speech was infuriating.
And speaking of which, skinsfan77 above is absolutely right. Your mocking "give you a quarter" statement is simply spitting in our face more and oh-so condescending. Screw giving me a quarter for my time.... how about you give me my money back that I spent on your book that blatantly mocked my team?
And telling me that "If you are angry with the chapter, it's likely that you were not the intended audience for it." is simply stupid. One would assume that the biggest intended audience for your chapter on the Redskins would most likely be (duh) Redskins fans. Do you really think many Redskin fans are finding that chapter funny or insightful? Who did you think that the "intended audience" was, I wonder?
Stick to the stats. Save the PC BS for Costas. Football Outsiders is better than this.
...You mean Donald Sterling, not David Stern. Stern is the former NBA commissioner.
Also, get a grip, dude. It's one thing to complain (fairly) that Washington fans didn't get the kind of analytical chapter they expected and paid for, as others have done here. It's also fair to take Rivers to task for his inappropriate and mocking reply.
But it's another to actually defend Dan Snyder, and pretend he's "trying to protect his livelihood." First, it's not his livelihood. He's a billionaire. Second, like Sterling, Snyder has indeed make "actual racist remarks of his own creation," most notably when he told Asians to "emulate Charlie Chan." Dude sucks, and while he's not yet Donald Sterling, give him time.
Rivers, you have until Wednesday noon to rewrite the Washington chapter and send an email blast to all subscribers to inform them of the edit. We know you can do it.
Call this a hard deadline.

Reports: George Zimmerman, with gun in glove compartment, was pulled over for speeding in Forney
Two weeks after a Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the Fenruary 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Zimmerman was in Forney, being pulled over by police there.
According to inForney.com, Zimmerman was stopped Sunday heading west on US Highway 80 just past FM 548. TMZ is reporting that when he was pulled over, Zimmerman told officers he had a gun in his glove compartment.
When contacted by The Dallas Morning News, Forney police would not immediately confirm; they asked instead for a public-records request concerning the incident. They eventually sent a report that shows he received a verbal warning. The document, which contains Zimmerman's birthdate, says the Florida resident was pulled over at 12:47 p.m. Sunday in a gray 2008 Honda; it doesn't say how fast he was traveling. inForney.com and TMZ feature different screengrabs from a dashcam video said to stem from the traffic stop. The truck in question appears to have Florida plates, confirmed by the police report.
inForney.com says the officer asked Zimmerman where he was headed. His reply: "Nowhere in particular."
"Nowhere in particular," said the officer, according to inForney.com. "Why is that?"
"You didn't see my name?" said Zimmerman.
"Wow," said the officer, "what a coincidence."
According to KTVT-Channel 11, "At some point Zimmerman asked the officer if he recognized him from television, and the officer said he did not."
The documents provided by Forney say the officer ran Zimmerman's records to make sure he had no outstanding warrants, then cut him loose after four minutes. The officer told Zimmerman to "just take it easy, go ahead and shut your glove compartment and don't play with your firearm, OK?"
Zimmerman has more or less disappeared since the not-guilty verdict, save for a July 22 incident in Florida involving a family trapped in an overturned SUV. His legal team has this and only this to say on the traffic stop: "For his safety, we won't make any comments about Zimmerman's whereabouts, and we will work to protect his privacy."

Former Wake Forest forward James Johnson, who worked out for the Nets on Tuesday, is projected to be picked somewhere in the middle of the first round in next week's NBA Draft. Johnson may not land with the Nets at pick No. 11, but one thing is certain about the 6-7, 257-pound prospect: no one would be wise to challenge the guy to a fight.
In a Sports Illustrated profile from last January, when he was still playing for the Demon Deacons, Johnson described his first love: martial arts. Johnson, a black belt, said he thinks about fighting all the time and even allows that he will fight again in a mixed martial arts competition (he competed when he was in high school). From the sound of it, any team interested in drafting Johnson, as well as any future opponents, best beware.

Schoolboy Solves Newton's 300-Year-Old Puzzle
Posted on May 28, 2012
Three centuries of mathematical genius led by Sir Isaac Newton couldn't solve these problems from the field of dynamics, but a 16-year-old German boy fiddling with a school project could. Unfortunately, his achievements will probably be used to help governments kill people with greater precision.
Incidentally, Shouryya Ray lives and attends school in Dresden. The city was the recipient of more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive and incendiary bombs dropped by the British Royal Air Force during World War II. The attack killed more than 20,000 people. —ARK

Castro Marim Things to Do
The second fort
It is not common two forts side-by-side in the same city. It just happened that the old Moorish castle was not suitable for the war against Spain, ended in 1640, and the king decided to build a new stronghold, named St. Sebastian fort because it was built replacing a shrine devoted to that saint.more
St. Anthony shrine
In the fort of St. Anthony, created during the war to restore independence, won in 1640, king João IV ordered the construction of this small chapel, still showing its original characteristics.more
This castle is the result of many cultures and wars. Located in a privileged place to protect the river, the oldest identified wall comes from the 8Th century BC. Romans, developed it, and were followed by Vandals and Muslims, until the christian conquest in 1242. There are remains of all those people, but the earthquake of 1755 forced a large...more

Igreja da Misericórdia
This small church lies inside the castle walls and contains 17th century tombs and some remains of the earlier 14th century Church of São Iago (St. James) which was destroyed by the 1755 earthquake. Inside the church is a model of the castle and a very old looking wooden retable.more
Castelo de Castro Marim
The main castle in Castro Marim is located on a small hill right in the middle of the town. It originally dates from between the 10th and 13th centuries although early human occupation of the hill dates back to prehistory, to the late Bronze Age where Phoenician, Greek, Carthaginian (late 4th century BC) and Roman remains have been found. The Old...more
Igreja de Nossa Senhora dos Mártires
This is the town's main church which is located directly to the south of the main castle and overlooks the town centre below.

Forte de São Sebastião
As you come from Vila Real de Santo Antonio on the main road, this is the first of the two forts you come to. It was constructed during the reign of D. João IV (1640-1656) during the Wars of Restoration of Independence between Portugal and Spain on the site of the Chapel of St Sebastian which was demolished to make way for the fort. The fort has a...more

What is in this article?:
- Research findings could be important in 2,4-D resistant soybeans
- Synthetic form of auxin
• The findings suggest that application techniques which limit 2,4-D entry into soils are important to ensure production with engineered 2,4-D resistant crop plants does not require additional fertilizer and/or water inputs.
Synthetic form of auxin
The herbicide 2,4-D, a synthetic form of auxin, could have unintended consequences for the protein, Murphy and Peer said.
The herbicide is used to kill broadleaf weeds, which are dicots, while monocot grasses, such as sorghum and corn, are more resistant. That's because grasses inactivate 2,4-D inside the plant, while broadleaf dicots do not.
But ABCB4 is located on the root surface and can be switched into intake-only mode, disabling its ability to remove excess auxin from cells, before 2,4-D can be inactivated inside the plant. This results in shorter root hairs.
"This suggests that ABCB4 is an unexpected target of 2,4-D action," Murphy said. "It's something that we have to be aware of with the commercial introduction of 2,4-D resistant soybeans and other dicot crops."
Murphy said laboratory testing of ABCB4 in yeast, tobacco and human cells subjected to 2,4-D all showed that ABCB4 could be locked into the uptake-only mode. The root hairs of mutant plants that had ABCB4 removed were not affected by application of 2,4-D.
"It was very clear that what was happening in the plant was what was happening in the cell cultures," Murphy said.
Murphy said the findings suggest that application techniques that limit 2,4-D entry into soils are important to ensure that production with engineered 2,4-D resistant crop plants does not require additional fertilizer and/or water inputs.
The Department of Energy funded the study. Murphy and Peer partnered with scientists at the Institute of Experimental Botany at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

Baseball Suffers Loss to Iowa at Snow Bird Classic
Ball State's baseball team suffered a 16-6 loss to Iowa in its second day of the Snow Bird Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla.
With the loss, the Cardinals fall to 5-2 on the year, while the Hawkeyes improved to 5-1 on the season. Ball State will play Northwestern Sunday at 10 a.m. to finish off their appearance in the event.
In a game that saw the Cardinals take a 2-1 lead after the first inning, Iowa responded with one run in the second and three in the third to take a 5-2 lead. After Ball State responded with one in the fourth, the Hawkeyes managed one in the fifth and broke the game open with five runs in the sixth to take an 11-3 lead.
Ball State would rally for three in the bottom of the sixth to close the gap to 11-6, but Iowa turned right around and managed three in the seventh and two in the eighth to seal the 16-6 win.
T.J. Weir started the game and pitched three innings but took the loss.
Brandon Estep was a bright spot offensively for the Cardinals with a 3-for-4 performance with two runs scored. Ryan Spaulding was 2-for-4 with one run scored, while Sean Godfrey was 1-for-4 with one run-batted-in and two runs scored. Sam Tidaback managed to go 1-for-3 from the plate with two RBI.

By Danielle Kuhn, Feathered Eden Aviary
Unlike the midsize conures, painted conures fit nicely in situations where a larger conure just won't work out. A green-cheeked conure's little beak can deliver a painful pinch and sometimes even draw blood, but it won't inflict the damage larger beaks can. A painted conure is quiet enough for apartment living and generally require smaller setups and less floor space. But don't let its diminutive sizes fool you; a painted conure has a huge personality stuffed inside its tiny body.
Mention conures and there's a good chance that jenday conure, the sun conure or blue-crowned conure come to mind. There's no doubt that these medium-sized conures deserve their popularity, but there are plenty of other conures that are as equally captivating. Check out the painted conure and sample its appeal.
The Painted Conure
At 8 1/2 inches with a similar personality to the green-cheeked conure, painted conures (Pyrrhura picta) are relatively uncommon in aviculture. "They are one of the most difficult species of conures to raise," said California-based conure breeder John Del Rio. However, a painted conure pair occasionally produces well and raises babies with "the frequency of a typical green-cheeked conure. A pair like this is hard to find."
Painted conures that do become pets are sweet and sometimes audacious. Phoebe, a painted conure owned by Heather Moore and James Lucier of California, is always "the first one to explore a new toy, climb down from her cage and go in search of something, or beg to be taken outside in the screen room."
When it comes to touching, Phoebe is a bit shyer than the couple's green-cheeked conure, preferring more hands-off interaction. "She will readily step up and sit on my shoulder, but she'd rather that I talk softly to her than give her a head rub," Moore said.

The U.S. baby boom population is getting older. By 2030, residents born between 1946 and 1964 will make up 20 percent of the population, with 72.1 million Americans ages 65 and older.
As this population grows, so do concerns that the U.S. health system will not be able to meet the health needs of seniors, particularly in regard to demands for long-term care.
But instead of moving seniors to nursing homes or assisted living facilities, some communities are taking another approach to long-term care: aging in place. Under the practice, seniors are able to reach advanced ages while still residing at home, thanks in part to community resources and programs. Read more

Proposed Ban on Public Nudity Offends Some in San Francisco
Stark Debate Over When Birthday Suits Are Proper Attire; Tourist Attraction
SAN FRANCISCO—San Francisco's tolerance toward tolerance is wearing thin.
A city supervisor here proposed a law Tuesday that would ban nudity in most public places across the city. For years, the city has held an "equilibrium" with nudity at public events and occasionally in neighborhoods, said the supervisor, Scott Wiener, but the nudity recently "has just gotten extreme."
At issue is a public plaza that regularly attracts nudists in the historically gay Castro neighborhood, prompting a debate about the limits of civil liberties in this famously tolerant city. After complaints about the naked people by some businesses and residents, Mr. Wiener proposed the bareness-busting bill.
The proposed ban doesn't sit well with some urban nudists.
"This is, in my opinion, an attack on freedom," said George Davis, 66 years old, who was soaking up the sun Tuesday wearing nothing more than sunglasses and a hat, reading a book about Twitter, the microblogging service. As one of the Castro's famous nudists, "I meet people from all over the world," he said, including South Korea, France and Liechtenstein.
Some argued a ban would mark a slippery slope for the city. "Today it is naked people, and next week it will be drag queens, and then the week after that it will be people who wear leather," said Mitch Hightower, 51, who organizes an annual "nude-in" body freedom demonstration in the city and runs an exhibitionist website.
"I think there are a lot of people in the community that feel in order to advance legal and civil rights they need to blend in and be as bland and vanilla as possible," he said.
Increasingly over the past year, a group of three to more than a dozen men have formed what Mr. Wiener calls an "ad hoc nudist colony" on most afternoons in the Castro's main public plaza, just steps away from a train station and the city's jumbo rainbow gay pride flag.
"If only they looked better, it would be great," said Tom Moore, bartender at the Twin Peaks bar in front of the Castro plaza, which doesn't let the naked people inside.
But that doesn't keep some tourists away, he said. "The foreign tourists love to have their pictures taken with them," said Mr. Moore.
The photo shoots bother Mr. Wiener. "Our neighborhood is not a zoo," he said.
Cleve Jones, a gay rights activist and longtime Castro resident, said there should be a limit to San Francisco's tolerance. "I am not a prude," he said. "I don't believe this behavior would be tolerated by the police if they were doing it in Dianne Feinstein's or Nancy Pelosi's neighborhood."
Josh Moreno, manager at the Hot Cookie shop on Castro Street, said he had no problem with the naked guys, including in his cookie store. "We don't discriminate against people based on their appearance," he said. "We shouldn't be focusing our taxpayer dollars to ban something that is just natural."
California law bans "lewd" behavior, which some Castro residents accused the nudists of, and other cities including Berkeley and San Jose have over the years added specific ordinances outlawing nudity.
San Francisco already bans nudity in its public parks and last year passed a law backed by Mr. Wiener that requires nudists to cover chairs and benches in public places before sitting on them.
The state of New York's penal code bans nudity, with exceptions for breast-feeding and participation in a theatrical production, though enforcement of the law is left up to local police.
In a nod toward compromise, Mr. Wiener's proposal would prohibit nudity in city plazas, sidewalks and public transit, but not at festivals and parades like the annual Folsom Street Fair and crosstown Bay to Breakers race, which attract naked participants from far and wide.
Most of the people who have complained to him about the nudity are gay residents of the Castro, said Mr. Wiener. "This is not what we fought for," he said.
Lately, some in San Francisco have been worrying about this city banning too many things. In 2004, for instance, the board of supervisors voted to ban the city's zoo from keeping elephants in enclosures smaller than 15 acres, a move that effectively banned elephants in the city. A 2009 law made composting food waste mandatory, banning residents from throwing out dinner scraps. A year later, the city prohibited restaurants from handing out free toys along with meals that didn't meet certain nutrition standards.
Exposed, Earlier
Harmeet Dhillon, the chairwoman of the San Francisco Republican Party, said San Francisco bans too much, and she opposed some city bans, including one on plastic bags that went into effect this week. "These are all unwarranted extensions of government," she said.
But she sides with Mr. Wiener on the nudity ban. "I just saw one outside of the Transamerica building. He was wearing shoes and socks and a backpack," she said. "It was kind of gross."
Mr. Hightower said that it is all in the eyes of the beholder. "There are a lot of things that I see when I walk down the public street that I would rather not look at, but I am not asking everybody to legislate that away," he said.
The debate has already taken theatrical form. On Sept. 21, a short play called "The Buck Naked Church of Truth" debuted at the local Left Coast Theater Company. The play, which includes nudity, tells the story of a father who finds his son naked in the Castro.
James A. Martin, the play's 54-year-old San Francisco author, said he got the idea to write the play because his friends were all talking about the naked guys in the Castro. "It was causing dissension among people who normally agree on things—this sounds like a good thing to explore in a short comic play," said Mr. Martin.

United Way of Northern New Jersey Caregivers Coalition presents a free seminar on Thursday, July 17 for caregivers to learn about basic special education rights and advocacy strategies for a child with special needs or a disability. Area caregivers are invited to attend the "munch and learn" educational presentation from 6-8 p.m., at Visiting Nurse Association of Somerset Hills, 200 Mount Airy Road in Basking Ridge. A light dinner will be provided.
Unpaid caregivers are the family members and friends who help loved ones of any age who are ill, frail or living with a disability. Caregivers help their loved ones with a range of tasks from paying bills or driving to doctors, to personal care such as bathing and dressing, to medical care such as administering medication.
Caregivers will learn how to ensure their child with a disability or special needs receives an appropriate education. By getting advice about the law early in the process, caregivers can develop strategies to support their child's educational rights. The program will be presented by Adam Wilson of Hinkle, Fingles & Prior, Attorneys at Law.
Free educational presentations are one of the services United Way Caregivers Coalition provides to help unpaid family caregivers better access information while giving them the support they need in their caregiving role. The Coalition brings together caregivers, medical professionals, social service agencies, businesses, and other community groups to support unpaid family caregivers in Somerset County.
Space is limited and advance registration is required. To register by Thursday, July 10, email Kristina Sepe at email@example.com or call at 908-253-6534.

Journal Junction comments should be limited to two to four sentences and be no longer than 80 words. Longer comments should be submitted as "Letters to the Editor," which is a separate forum. The Journal's classified ads section offers help to those with lost or found items. This is a sampling of comments received today. Any others, subject to editing, are published in the online Journal Junction at www.journal-news.net under opinions.
From the Blue Ridge Mountains:
I see where the parents are starting to be considered about the school buses and harassment in Jefferson County. Mr. Dougherty is doing a great job. He's doing the best he can, and he does it with what he's got. If the bus driver would have pulled over to reprimand these people, they would have been called into the board office and they would have gotten reprimanded.
From Martinsburg:
It is so refreshing reading the Journal Junction without all the political ramblings. Keep it this way please.
From Martinsburg:
Main Street Martinsburg is doing a good job on Queen and King streets. But Martinsburg does have side streets where grass is growing in the cracks of sidewalks and homes are in disrepair. Maybe there should be an organization called "Side Street Martinsburg."
From Berkeley County:
I'm glad to see that someone else in the county is concerned about the exorbitant prices we pay for gasoline in West Virginia over Virginia; 12 1/2 cents difference, not 40. Maybe it's time that the people in the Eastern Panhandle speak with their pocketbooks and not frequent some of these stations.
From Martinsburg:
I will vote for term limits until I am convinced that sheriffs are no longer among the corrupt politicians in West Virginia.
From Martinsburg:
Last week I had my flu shot. ... After I got the shot, I developed a bad cold and it is just hanging on. Has anyone else experienced this after they got their flu shot?
From South Berkeley County:
I'm a young-at-heart widow wondering if there are any nice, Christian single groups in the area? I don't even know of any single groups. ...
From Berkeley County:
We would like to congratulate Jersey Joe of the Subway Gang on his marriage and new family.
From Clear Brook, Va.:
Complain, complain, that's all that is in the Junction anymore, people complaining about out-of-state tags. I have an out-an-state tag because my car is registered through my business. It's perfectly legal. ...
From Martinsburg:
I'm glad see that the gas prices have dropped in the Eastern Panhandle, but on the other hand, yesterday I was in Winchester, Va., and now there is only 40 cents a gallon difference between the Eastern Panhandle. It's $3.39 in Virginia.
From Shepherdstown:
I would like to know who is running the show for Jefferson County Schools. They seem to have more to focus on that calendar and year-round school. They should be focusing more on not cutting employees and not harassing students on buses.
From Jefferson County:
In regard to the bus incident: We have lost control of discipline on our buses. We write children up. I am a bus driver and we get no response. If we write them up three or four times, and they get kicked off the bus, their parents call the Board of Education and they get put back on. A lot of drivers feel that we have lost control.
From Charles Town:
When is The Journal going to have the guts to run a complete editorial or story on the murder of the Americans in Benghazi and the coverup that this administration is trying to do?
From Hedgesville:
Hats off to Dr. Eric Hertz for sponsoring the "Shine the Light" suicide awareness event on Oct. 28.
From Hedgesville:
To the Inwood caller commenting that year-round school is good: I disagree with you. Mothers and fathers have to work and they can't change their schedules every few weeks. I think they need to let the schools alone. They have done well for years and years. ...
From Martinsburg:
To the Charles Town caller: Are you kidding me? Go to San Pedro Street in Los Angeles, Calif., or 183rd Street, in the Bronx. ... That's ugly. You can't turn a corner in Martinsburg that you don't see a lovely home with 30-foot columns in front of it. Architecture to die for. You don't know the meaning of ugly.
From Inwood:
I don't know of a place in Jefferson County, but Berkeley Senior Center is great. My husband plays music there once a month with the Country Melodies band and it's a great place, everyone enjoys it, and the staff are great! Very nice and welcoming. It is located on High Street in Martinsburg.
From Martinsburg:
It is nice to see so many respectful people here in Martinsburg. Saturday on the way to our angel's final resting place there were so many cars pulled over and allowing us to proceed down W.Va. 9. I just wanted to say thank you to those who showed respect to all the family and friends that day.
Web Exclusives
From Hedgesville:
To all of the out-of-state power company workers who have been coming into the area or traveling through: Thank you for helping us and our neighbors. Stay safe and bless you.
From Harpers Ferry:
I don't agree with sending the kids to school year-round. The school isn't a babysitter. The teachers need time off, too, so they can spend time with their families.
From Jefferson County:
It is so easy for parents to blame everyone else for their kids' problems. The front page story in Sunday's paper was ridiculous. I want to know how in the world school bus drivers are supposed to keep their eyes on the road and also know what the kids behind them are doing? Maybe the school board should consider putting aides on these problem buses.

We're living in the age of barrel-aged improvement, as everything from beer to Manischewitz is getting a moment inside charred oak to pick up extra tannins and woody caramels. Even City Hall is doing barrel time these days - the cocktail, that is. "City Hall" is what Pub & Kitchen bar master George Costa calls the combination of Rittenhouse rye, Laird's apple brandy, Bual Madeira, Cynar, and Ramazzotti Amaro he concocted for a Philly-themed drink competition a few years ago. For some reason, it didn't win.
What it obviously needed was a date with a barrel. After a six-week ride, the punchy blend (which formerly required ice) has mellowed and married, with toastier vanilla, nuttier Madeira notes, and an intriguing luster as the spicy rye, fruity brandy, and herbaceous bitters settled down to cooperate and behave, at room temp. So what's next in Barreltown: Costa for mayor?

There's been a lot of chatter in our office today about cover songs and "who sung it better?"
While discussing the matter with a colleague, she mentioned a band called "Postmodern Jukebox." They play covers of pop songs in the least likely genres (they sing Ke$ha's "Die Young" as a country tune).
YouTube has exploded the art of re-imagining your favorite songs and these kids are great at it.
Happy listening.

We identified triamterene in 181 renal calculi (0.4% of 50,000 calculi submitted for analysis). Triamterene formed the nucleus of the stone or was deposited with calcium oxalate or uric acid. One third of these stones were mainly or entirely triamterene, though a similar proportion had only minor amounts. A recommended dose of triamterene-hydrochlorothiazide sufficed to produce triamterene deposition in renal calculi. We estimate the annual incidence of the complication to be one per 1,500 users of triamterene-hydrochlorothiazide. Triamterene lithiasis develops particularly in persons who have had a renal stone, and they should not receive this drug.

The worst of the worst
ok we have seen everyone fight so I think its about time we crown the TUF4 Worst fighter of this season. I would have to go with either Burnett or Smith but its hard to say. Im leaning more towards Burrnett even though he's a cool guy who use to be a decent fighter.
TUF1 worst- Jason Thacker
TUF2 worst-Sam Morgan
TUF3 worst- Danny Abbadi
whe shall be crowned worst of TUF4?
Im leaning towards Captain Miserable..
It has to be Pete Spratt!
what samamtha is a beast!!!! lol
ummmmm gideon and spratt are both boxers who stink
yeah (forgot about that) but it would be different if he was in chucks division
striker vs striker unlike hughes
its tough to say because i think alot of them aren't very good anymore, atleast champion wise.
I'd say pete spratt fight wise, i think he is the weakest. I like pete but he's the weakest fight wise.
Pete Spratt i think but i dont think many of them are that good
haha Abbadi for SURE on 3. He lost his first fight and said, I am the ultimate fighter... WTF?
I go Captain Miserable as well for 4.
Danny wasn't the worst from TUF3, Mike Stine was.
Not only did he crushed on the first episode, rendering him useless for the remainder of the series, he cried like a ***** while he was losing.
Danny at least put up a fight.

Hello again race fans. Area racing is plentiful this weekend. Port Royal Speedway hosts a four division show of sprint cars, late models, pro stocks and enduro cars. Racing starts at 7.
At Selinsgrove, the 358 sprint cars are joined by late models, pro stocks and roadrunners. Lincoln has a fireworks display along with 410 and 358 sprint cars, and central PA legend cars. Williams Grove features super sportsman racing along with 305 sprint cars, 358 late models and street stocks. The biggest show is at Hagerstown, where the World of Outlaws late models are in action.
Next week, the USAC wingless sprint cars invade the region. They will race at Grandview Speedway on Tuesday and Williams Grove on Wednesday.
The ride swap season has started here in Central Pennsylvania. Daryn Pittman has taken over the Jesse Keen-owned No. 17 car previously driven by Pat Cannon. Cannon returns to 358 sprint car action in his old ride, the Zane Highlands No. 3. I have not heard who will drive the Pete Postupak No. 25 car; Pittman recently won in that car at Grandview.
The super sportsman cars were part of last week's Bedford Speedway Three State Flyers late model program. Aaron Eichelberger won the event. Bobby Hockenberry of New Bloomfield is the current sportsman point leader. Hockenberry has won a race this season at Port Royal. A large contingent of fans follow Hockenberry to the Juniata County track.
It was nice to see Steve Wilbur back in a sportsman car last Sunday night at Bedford. Wilbur has not raced since last summer when he was seriously burned in an accident at Williams Grove. Wilbur finished 20th.
The battle of the late models last week end actually turned out good for both Bedford and Central PA Speedways. Bedford had the traveling Three State Flyers series on hand and local driver Nick Dickson ran in the event, with 32 cars on hand. Central PA Speedway had 46 late models, including Lewistown driver Waylon Wagner, who finished 12th. Wagner had a good weekend that included a win Saturday night at Port Royal Speedway.
I want to clear up some confusion about the race. An area fan mentioned to me they felt the story I penned in this paper about Wagner's victory made it sound like Wagner was lucky to win. I certainly did not mean anything of the sort and I was surprised the reader interpreted the story in that manner. Waylon Wagner did a great job and his car came on strong during the second half of the race. Wagner went up on top of the track and blasted through the field much like we've seen from Scotty Haus and Tim Wilson. Wagner drove the wheels off the car and earned everything he got. I was happy to see him get the win.
I was honored to work last Sunday night's Three State Flyer race at Bedford with the dean of area race announcers. Frank Sagi has been lured out of retirement and is the traveling series announcer. I enjoyed sitting beside him and just listening. Sagi has a way of telling a story while calling a race.
Sagi is 70-plus years old and has been announcing shows for over 45 years. Sagi got his start when he signed on at Hagerstown Speedway to be a scorer. The track was dry and dusty one day and the announcer was a radio DJ who was having trouble seeing the race cars. In frustration he handed the microphone to Sagi and told him to announce the race. The rest is history and a star was born. I'm glad he is back and I'll look forward to the next two races I will get to do with him this season.
The Appalachian Dirt Late Model Series is right around the corner. The series starts at Hagerstown on June 6 and finishes June 12 at Bedford. Port Royal Speedway hosts the series June 11.
Congratulations go out to Steve Bailor of East Waterford on winning the 358 late model feature at Susquehanna Speedway. Bailor purchased a former Eric Zembower car.
Published reports in The Patriot-News this week indicate Lucas Wolfe has signed a deal to race in the Indy Lights Series next season. Wolfe will continue to run the 5W sprint car the remainder of this year.
NASCAR comes to our region the next two weeks. This week end Dover, Delaware hosts action. The Autism Speaks 400 is on Fox TV Sunday starting at 2 p.m. Next week the Cup cars are at Pocono.
Until next week, please drive safely!
Craig Rutherford writes about motorsports for The Sentinel. He is associated with Port Royal Speedway.

Second Harmonic Generation of a Gaussian Beam
Application ID: 956
Laser systems are an important application area in modern electronics. With nonlinear materials it is possible to generate harmonics that are a multiple of the frequency of the laser light.
This model shows how a second harmonic generation can be set up as a transient wave simulation, using nonlinear material properties. A YAG (lambda=1.06 microm.) laser beam is focused on a nonlinear crystal, so that the waist of the beam is inside the crystal.
This application was built using the following:RF Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it. Particular physics interfaces may be common to several products (see the Specification Chart for more details). To determine the right combination of products for your project, you should evaluate all of your needs in light of each product's capabilities, consultation with the COMSOL Sales and Support teams, and the use of an evaluation license.

K.; Bauwens, Luc Abstract: Since the last decade we live in a digitalized world where many actions in human and economic life are monitored. This produces a continuous stream of new, rich and high quality data in the form of panels, repeated cross-sections and long time series . These data resources are available to many researchers at a low cost. This new erais fascinating for econometricians who can adress many open economic questions. To do so, new models are developed that call for elaborate estimation techniques. Fast personal computers play an integral part in making it possible to deal with this increased complexity. 2004-01-01T00:00:00Z Computationally intensive Value at Risk calculations http://hdl.handle.net/10419/22205 Title: Computationally intensive Value at Risk calculations Authors: Weron, Rafał Abstract: Market risks are the prospect of financial losses- or gains- due to unexpected changes in market prices and rates. Evaluating the exposure to such risks is nowadays of primary concern to risk managers in financial and non-financial institutions alike. Until late 1980s market risks were estimated through gap and duration analysis (interest rates), portfolio theory (securities), sensitivity analysis (derivatives) or "what-if" scenarios. However, all these methods either could be applied only to very specific assets or relied on subjective reasoning. 2004-01-01T00:00:00Z Recursive Partitioning and Tree-based Methods http://hdl.handle.net/10419/22203 Title: Recursive Partitioning and Tree-based Methods Authors: Zhang, Heping Abstract: Tree-based methods have become one of the most flexible, intuitive, and powerful data analytic tools for exploring complex data structures. The applicationsof these methods are far reaching. They include financial firms (credit cards: Altman, 2002; Frydman et al., 2002, and investments: Pace, 1995; Brennan et al., 2001), manufacturing and marketing companies (Levin et al., 1995), and pharmaceutical companies. The best documented, and arguably most popular uses of tree-based methods are in biomedical research for which classification is a central issue. For example, a clinician or health scientist may be very interested in the following question (Goldman et al., 1996, 1982; Zhang et al., 2001): Is this patient with chest pain suffering a heart attack, or does he simply have a strained muscle? To answer this question, information on this patient must be collected, and a good diagnostic test utilizing such information must be in place. Tree-based methods provide one solution for constructing the diagnostic test. 2004-01-01T00:00:00Z Parallel computing techniques http://hdl.handle.net/10419/22200 Title: Parallel computing techniques Authors: Nakano, Junji Abstract: Parallel computing means to divide a job into several tasks and use more than one processor simultaneously to perform these tasks. Assume you have developed a new estimation method for the parameters of a complicated statistical model. After you prove the asymptotic characteristics of the method (for instance, asymptotic distribution of the estimator), you wish to perform many simulations to assure the goodness of the method for reasonable numbers of data values and for different values of parameters. You must generate simulated data, for example, 100 000 times for each length and parameter value. The total simulation work requires a huge number of random number generations and takes a long time on your PC. If you use 100 PCs in your institute to run these simulations simultaneously, you may expect that the total execution time will be 1/100. This is the simple idea of parallel computing. 2004-01-01T00:00:00Z

Tue., 1:19pm: UPDATE Jumper in custody, Routes 11, 80 reopen
September 17, 2013
GIRARD -- Traffic on Routes 80 and 11 is flowing after police apprehended a man who threatened to jump off the Mosier Road bridge....
What a "family guy"! Advocating the expense of going for collection against a man who isn't in his right mind for "costs" involved in safety forces doing their jobs. Why let's just hire a cadre of litigators to file suit on each and every safety force response predicated upon a human cause...that would be about ALL of them!
