64 Studio not detecting my display hardware
Hi, all- I have on-board nVidia 8200 graphics and a Dell 198WFP widescreen monitor. All my previous experience in achieving my monitor's native resolution has been while using Ubuntu and some of its derivatives. Generally, all I have to do is install the proprietary driver and all's well... Ubuntu actually pops up a dialog by default asking if I want to install it. It can also be installed by clicking on System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers. In 64 Studio, I can't seem to make any of that work. When I go to Hardware Drivers, all it says is that there are no proprietary drivers in use. During boot, I get a warning that we've fallen back to low graphics mode. When I click "Configure", I'm presented with a 2-tabbed dialog to select my graphics card and monitor. I've tried every combination of proprietary / open source nVidia driver with the Dell 198WFP monitor (including selecting widescreen and not), and nothing works. Is there some extra step that I'm missing? It's really hard to even troubleshoot at 800 x 600. I'm spoiled, I guess! Thanks for any insight you may have. -Mark

Who'd have guessed the isolation felt by Poles living abroad would be the theme of one of the best pictures of the year? Director Jerzy (The Shout) Skolimowski, a Polish expatriate, and onetime collaborator of Roman Polanski's, wrote the screenplay. It's about four Warsaw construction workers who come to London to renovate the town house of their wealthy boss, then find themselves completely cut off from their native country when martial law is declared at home. Only one of the workers—the foreman—speaks English, and so he becomes the others' sole link to the outside world. Their story combines suspense and psychological revelation with healthy doses of comedy (slapstick, at that) in a tight, coherent mix. The acting is also superb: In a casting coup for a low-budget film, Jeremy Irons agreed to play the foreman, reportedly to show that he can go beyond the elegant types he played in Brideshead Revisited and The French Lieutenant's Woman. He succeeds completely. Still, most of the credit for this film goes to Skolimowski, who was writing it when martial law was declared last year. That event makes an already striking film even more timely and powerful. (PG)

Those OnStar features will also work with the 2014 model when it comes out, which will be worth waiting for due to Cadillac updating the CTS with its new CUE dashboard electronics.
More difficult to prognosticate is the performance technology in a new-generation CTS-V, and whether that will be worth the wait. The engine in the 2013 model is phenomenal, delivering huge acceleration with its supercharger, and producing 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque.
Idling at a stoplight, the low thrum of the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 felt like a Geddy Lee bass line. Even with that writhing feeling throughout the car, the exhaust note was rather muted.
Not at all engineered for economy, the 6.2-liter V-8 sucks down gasoline at a rate of 12 mpg city and 18 mpg highway in EPA estimates. In my own driving, I averaged right in the middle of that range, and spent a lot of time looking at the Low Fuel warning.
Despite the power, I found the CTS-V Wagon easily drivable in stop-and-go traffic, fast freeway cruising, and slewing through the turns on mountain roads. It was willing to take off gently from a stop, with easily modulated acceleration.
Advanced handling tech
Likewise, the performance-oriented brakes featured a long grab, making it possible to apply just a little to shave off some speed. I had to push hard to get a full stop, something that might throw off drivers used to more-average cars.
The CTS-V Wagon incorporates my favorite suspension technology, a system that uses electromagnets to stiffen the dampers based on sensor input. With a button push, I could choose between Touring and Sport settings, the latter tightening up the ride without making it uncomfortable. The Touring mode feels a little looser, and helps the CTS-V Wagon deliver a Cadillac-quality ride.
I've found again and again that this suspension technology beats anything else in keeping a heavy car stable in hard cornering.
The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires all around give the CTS-V Wagon grip for days, while the steering tuning is tight and reactive. A little input goes a long way, highlighting the performance character of the car. However, that sensitive wheel may be a little much for the average driver.
The Achilles' heel of the car was the automatic transmission, which just doesn't shift fast enough to keep up with the engine and the needs of a driver intent on wringing some fun out of the experience. It lacks a dedicated sport mode, only offering Drive, which tends to reach for the higher gears, and a manual mode.
Cadillac says the CTS-V Wagon has paddle shifters on the steering wheel, but that is not precisely true. What it really has are buttons under the lateral spokes, which minimizes the control area I had available to shift. A true paddle would have been easier to reach in those harrowing moments of grinding the brakes on a turn approach.
However, I didn't need to change gears much, as third had a very wide power band. Second gear felt a little weak, like it didn't have much to give if you didn't mash the gas pedal, but in third I still had plenty of power on even 90-degree turns. As I could also run the car's speed up close to 100 mph in third, there wasn't much need to upshift.
Wait for it
The 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon is a killer sports car, matching immense power with excellent grip and handling. The automatic transmission makes day-to-day driving easy, but the car's atrocious fuel economy argues against using it for the daily commute, so get the manual transmission.
The fact that it's a station wagon makes it even cooler, giving it a meaty look and room for a spare set of track wheels in back. There is little to compare it to in the North American market, but it sits in company with European fast wagons such as the Audi RS6 Estate.
However, the dated electronics encourage waiting for the next generation. What we saw at the New York auto show looked good, and Cadillac has improved its cabin tech substantially. There is no guarantee that another wagon will be coming, but this 2013 model would serve as an excellent template to build upon.

Most likely you have RC1.0. There is a bug in the updater for RC1.0/Rev1843. You will need to manually update to RC1.1/Rev1865 or the new RC1.2 (Rev 1927).

Recently I received an email from a friend. "I received this bar mitzvah invitation," she said, "and I can't place the names. You know everyone. Help me out here." The first thing that struck me was the phrase, "You know everyone."
This phrase has a deep resonance for me, because about four years ago I stood up in front of the entire congregation at High Holy Day services and described to them what it felt like to look around at a packed house on Kol Nidre, and to realize that, despite having been a member for four years, I knew absolutely nobody in the room.
That awful, isolated feeling is one of the reasons why I started standing at the front of the synagogue before services, greeting everyone. I didn't want other people to feel like they didn't know anyone, and it turned out to be a great way for me to meet people, too. To have someone say to me, "You know everyone" is a testament to how far I've come since that time.
It turns out I do know the people on the bar mitzvah invitation. It was sent as an email blast to the congregational email list, including members as well as folks on the periphery who like to know about synagogue events.
The invitation said, "HerName and HisName invite you to the bar mitzvah of Son'sName," but there were no titles listed. So, if a person receiving the invitation didn't know the husband or the names of the woman's kids, she could be forgiven for not realizing that the woman on the invitation is the head rabbi of the synagogue.
This incident got me to thinking about other ways rabbis sometimes fly under the radar. When the synagogue's other rabbi calls me at work and the receptionist asks who is calling, he also just gives his name, without a title. The receptionist didn't know he is a rabbi until I mentioned it. I suppose this makes sense – the rabbi never knows if the person he or she is calling has outed themselves at work as being Jewish.
Another example of this happened on one of our "Torah on the Trails" days. Once a month, our Torah Study group takes a short hike, and studies Torah with a clergy member outdoors, before returning to the synagogue before services.
One day, I was returning to the synagogue after Torah on the Trails, with the rabbi in my car. An attendant stopped me at the entrance to the parking lot the synagogue shares with the JCC. "You need to go this way for the JCC," he said, pointing away from the synagogue.
"I need to go the other way, to the synagogue," I replied. When he hesitated, I added, "You have to let me in – I have the rabbi in my car!"
The guy looked at me like I was crazy. Everyone in my car looked like a casually dressed, in-need-of-a-workout JCC patron. He couldn't tell that the guy in the t-shirt in the back seat had a suit and tie in his office to change into for that day's bar mitzvah – not to mention a certificate of ordination on his wall.
It just goes to show, you better always be on your best behavior – you never know when there's a rabbi nearby, flying under the radar. Sometimes, they look and act just like us!

Small Enterprise Default Prediction Modeling Through Artificial Neural Networks: An Empirical Analysis of Italian Small Enterprises
Francesco Ciampi
University of Florence - Department of Business Administration
January 2013
Journal of Small Business Management, Vol. 51, Issue 1, pp. 23-45, 2013
Having accurate company default prediction models is vital for both banks and enterprises, especially small enterprises (SEs). These firms represent a vital part in the economy of every country but are also typically more informationally opaque than large corporations. Therefore, these models should be precise but also easily adaptable to suit SE characteristics. Our study applies artificial neural networks (ANNs) to a sample of over 7,000 Italian SEs. Results show that (1) when compared with traditional methods, ANNs can make a better contribution to SE credit‐risk evaluation; and (2) when the model is separately calculated according to size, geographical area, and business sector, ANNs prediction accuracy is markedly higher for the smallest sized firms and for firms operating in Central Italy.

AND so it begins. Before the African National Congress's (ANC's) Mangaung conference last year, observers of alliance politics wondered how President Jacob Zuma would manage to simultaneously keep the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) on his side in next year's election and make the hard economic policy decisions that are essential if South Africa is to arrest its backward slide.
Now we may have the answer: wait until after the election of ANC office bearers for a new five-year term and the second presidential term is in the bag, then get rid of those in Cosatu who might seek to hold Mr Zuma to his private promises, resist policy decisions the unions oppose, or pursue the "prime minister" option that was raised before Mangaung as a way to placate some of Mr Zuma's milder critics.
It is hard to see Thursday's announcement by Cosatu that it will probe "insinuations" of financial impropriety involving its general secretary, Zwelinzima Vavi, and the acquisition of the federation's new headquarters, as well as the sale of the old building, in any other way. It is common cause that Mr Vavi is no fan of Mr Zuma, and that he was on the losing side when some affiliates campaigned against a second term at Cosatu's own conference held shortly before Mangaung. Mr Vavi had little choice but to go with the flow after the conference endorsed Mr Zuma, but the knives were out.
It is, of course, possible that Mr Vavi has done wrong, and that Cosatu's investigation will unearth sufficient evidence to justify something more than insinuations. But the odds are against it, given his track record as a principled leader, who has often gone out on a limb to expose corruption. This newspaper has often disagreed with Mr Vavi's views but, unlike many ANC leaders, has never had cause to question his ethical standards.
It is far more likely that Mr Vavi is being subjected to trial by innuendo and that nothing material will come of the probe. Meanwhile, he will be sidelined within Cosatu and be made persona non grata in the alliance until he has either been neutralised as a political threat or resigns his position.
That is, after all, a tried and tested strategy for getting rid of troublesome opponents in alliance politics. Former Cosatu president Willie Madisha, who made the mistake of opposing Mr Zuma's first ANC presidential bid in 2007, found himself expelled from the organisation a year later after being accused of stealing a large cash donation apparently made to the South African Communist Party by businessman Charles Modise.
The legal process was never followed, no compelling evidence against Mr Madisha was ever produced, and what actually happened to the money remains a mystery. But Mr Madisha remains in the political wilderness, having sought refuge in the Congress of the People.
Will Mr Vavi suffer the same fate? Possibly, but this is not a strategy that can be used too often without people starting to question it. And there are a number of differences between Mr Vavi's situation and Mr Madisha's. The latter was almost a lone voice supporting Thabo Mbeki in 2007, whereas Mr Vavi retains a solid support base in Cosatu and the ANC. The repercussions from shafting him without just cause could be serious for both organisations. Cosatu is already divided along pro-and anti-Zuma lines, with prominent affiliates such as the National Union of Mineworkers and National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa competing vigorously on the shop floor and in the political arena.
In addition, the recent launch of Mamphela Ramphele's Agang opposition "platform" provides Mr Vavi with a credible alternative to the ruling alliance should his position with Cosatu be made untenable. Driving a leader such as Mr Vavi, who has both an existing constituency and the potential to appeal to voters across political, class and racial lines, into the arms of the opposition a matter of months before a national election could prove to be a fatal error.

4-Year-Old Girl Banned From Taking School Photo Because of HairstyleMonica Bielanko
A second school student's hairstyle is causing controversy.
You may remember last week's hairy situation.
As I reported, middle school student, Patrick Gonzalez, was told to get rid of the basketball star he had shaved into his head or face suspension.
Now absolutely adorable 3-year-old Marcella Marino was made to cry when she was told she wasn't allowed to wear her hair in a bow for class pictures.
Here's a photo of little Marcella sporting the hairstyle in question:
As Piper Weiss on Shine from Yahoo reports, Marcella's father, Marcello, is a professional hairstylist so she asked him to make her look like a princess for her class photo. The salon owner twisted his daughter's long blond hair into a bow.
The little girl loved it but her school hated it. Her dad says, "When she went for the school photo on Monday she was told she wasn't allowed to wear her hair in that style because of the dress code."
Apprently, the British primary school the girl attends has a very strict dress code that includes no ribbons or bows in hair. It even says braids can't be worn. Technically, this isn't a braid, and although it's a bow, it's still Marcella's hair. Nonetheless, the school said no way.
"I am so disappointed," Marcello says. "I could understand if Marcella arrived with her hair dyed or something, but this is an elegant look which I think the school should be proud of."
What do you think? Is the school being ridiculous or do you think Marcella's hair do is a big, fat hair don't?

This research drew on analyses of four states and districts that explored the relation between state and local standards, specifically, how state-level reading standards are translated into district curricula. Considerable attention, time, and resources are spent constructing state Language Arts content standards, yet little is known about how, or if, these state standards influence local curricula, teaching practice, or student learning. And, in states and districts where accountability pressure is high, state assessments rather than standards, may receive the bulk of district-level attention. The answers to the following research questions provided important insights into the potential of state standards to improve teaching and learning.
Main Research Questions
- In what ways do district standards align with state standardsboth in content and in underlying philosophy of literacy learning?
- How have state standards and state reform efforts influenced the development of district standards and local reform?
- What process, if any, have local districts engaged in to align their curricula to state standards?
- How is that process, and the actual district standards document, influenced by the presence or absence of high-stakes assessments?

The Relation Between State and District Literacy Standards: Issues of Alignment, Influence, and Utility
A Research Report by Elizabeth Dutro and Sheila W. Valencia, January 2004.Description:
This Research Report explores how state content standards in reading affect local content standards. The study, undertaken in four states, shows that under the guise of "alignment" between state and local standards, there is considerable variability, and that the usefulness of the state's efforts to promote local standards-based reform in this areas of the curriculum depends on various attributes of the state policy, the characteristic relationship between state and local level, and local engagement in professional development.Abstract:PDFAbstractOriginal Study
At the core of standards-based reform are content standards—statements about what students should know and be able to do. Although it is state standards that are the focus of much public attention and consume substantial resources, many local school districts have developed their own content standards in the major subject areas. However, we know very little about the role state standards have played in local standards efforts. In this article we report on a study of the relationship between state and local content standards in reading in four states and districts. Through interviews with key personnel in each state and district and analyses of state and local content standards in reading, we explored the alignment between state and district content standards, the path of influence between the two, and the role of high-stakes tests in state and districts reform efforts. Our findings suggest that alignment had multiple meanings and that state standards had differential utility to districts, ranging from helpful to benign to nuisance. This wide variability was influenced by the nature of the standards themselves, the state vision of alignment and local control, districts' own engagement and commitment to professional development, and student performance on high-stakes tests. We explore implications for the future of content standards as the cornerstone of standards-based reform and argue that states must promote district ownership and expand accountability if state content standards are to have any relevance for local efforts to reform teaching and learning.

Is It Time to Consider a Surface Tablet?
Microsoft's Surface RT tablets haven't exactly set the world on fire, and with good reason: They suck. Okay, that's just Microsoft hater-speak. But the early arguments against the RTs definitely held water: They're expensive, they don't run legacy Windows programs, and they don't come bundled with that cool-looking keyboard cover Microsoft touts in every single Surface ad and TV commercial.
Needless to say, I've been pretty sour on these devices since they debuted just over a year ago. But during that time, I've heard from lots of Surface RT owners who really (really) like the device. What's more, prices are dropping, especially on refurbished models. And as we all know, when something gets cheap enough, you can start to forgive things.
At this writing, you can get a refurbished entry-level Surface RT (32GB) for $179 shipped. That's via Manufacturer Certified on Ebay, a reseller that offers a one-year warranty on the tablet, same as you get with new ones. (Suck it, suckers who bought new.)
At that price, the whole equation changes. Now you're looking at a 10.6-inch tablet for considerably less than the cost of an iPad or Nexus 10 (both of which have slightly smaller screens). And although the Surface still doesn't run legacy software, the same is true of those Apple and Google tablets.
What the Surface does offer is the now-familiar Windows 8 environment and a full version of Microsoft Office 2013 (which sells all by itself for $139.99). Plus, although the Windows app store lacks a few key items (including iTunes and Google Chrome), it has nearly everything else most users need.
And let's not forget this isn't intended as the be-all-end-all tablet of the universe, nor is it meant to take the place of a laptop–though with Office onboard, it's arguably better positioned for that than, say, an iPad.
Just one problem: Microsoft still doesn't give you a keyboard. The Microsoft Surface Touch Cover sells (also via Manufacturer Certified) for $39.99, which isn't bad–but by most accounts, the Type Cover is the much better choice. Alas, that's not currently available from this same reseller, and you'll be lucky to find one elsewhere for under $100.
Of course, even at that price, you're getting a pretty complete tablet/laptop hybrid for a grand total of $279–still a bargain relative to what you get from Apple or Google.
And I'm starting to see the appeal of such a setup for people like my wife, who have pretty basic computing needs–Web browser, word processor, e-mail, Facebook–but don't want to contend with the hassles, heft, expense, or comparatively slow performance of a full-blown Windows laptop.
Granted, nearly any tablet paired with a keyboard can accomplish all the same things. But the Surface RT does make for a pretty compelling package, especially at these prices. I'm not saying it's the perfect solution for everyone, merely that the time has come to add it to your short list.

I'm digging into Portland food writer (and Oregonian contributor) Laura B. Russell's brand-new cookbook "Brassicas," which features 80 inventive recipes for cooking cruciferous vegetables like kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower.
These are vegetables that are loaded with all sorts of healthful benefits, but many home cooks avoid because they associate them with strong smells, usually caused by boiling them to death, which breaks down the cell walls of the vegetables and releases sulfurous gasses.
But Russell offers four great strategies for keeping the smell down.
Freshness: You want the freshest vegetables possible, and you want to use them soon after buying. At the store, give the veggies a smell. If there's a strong aroma, that cauliflower or cabbage is probably past its prime.
Cooking: Extended boiling is what makes brassicas so stinky. While a quick blanch is OK for some, try roasting, sautéing or steaming to keep the smells down.
Cooking times: In general, the longer that brassicas are cooked, the greater the chance that they'll release sulfur compounds. Most will cook in 15 minutes or less.
Leftovers: Sometimes when you open a container of leftover Brussels sprouts or cauliflower, you're hit with a big whiff of sulfur. That's because the vegetables were probably contained before they had cooled completely, causing a buildup of sulfur.
Look for a full feature on "Brassicas," including a chat with Russell and a selection of recipes, next month.

NAIROBI, Kenya - A court charged a ninth man with murder Friday for the car bombing of a Kenyan coastal resort hotel filled with Israeli tourists, an attack claimed by al-Qaida.
Mohammed Ali Saleh Nabhan, the younger brother of another suspect in the attack, pleaded innocent at a hearing in Nairobi's High Court.
Judge John Osiemo ordered the defendant to appear with the other suspects on Nov. 28, the anniversary of the attack that killed 10 Kenyans and three Israeli tourists. Two suicide bombers also died.
Python swallows woman
RANGAMATI, Bangladesh - Villagers searching for a missing woman found her body swallowed headfirst up to the waist by a 10-foot-long python, police said Friday.
Basanti Tripura, 38, was collecting wood in a forest when the python attacked her Tuesday in Rangamati district, police said.
The snake crushed the woman in its coils and had swallowed half her body before villagers discovered her. They retrieved the body after killing the snake with iron rods and sticks, the police official said.
Rangamati is a region of forests and rugged hills 135 miles southeast of the nation's capital Dhaka.
'Sweet' Putin on display
MOSCOW - The sweeter side of President Vladimir Putin has gone on display in Moscow: a portrait of the Russian leader entirely in chocolate.
Luxury chocolate-maker Konfael created the edible portrait of Putin on a 3.3-pound slab of white chocolate. Other kinds of chocolate flesh out the likeness - while strawberry juice colors his lips and blueberry juice shades his tie.
The chocolate-makers say the chocolate Putin is a work of art, and they are pricing it at $700. Only two have been created.
Officials arrest suspect
BOGOTA, Colombia - Authorities captured a suspected rebel Friday who they say coordinated the kidnapping of eight foreign backpackers two months ago, the attorney general's office said.
Edison Ramos Alcazar, the alleged member of the National Liberation Army, or ELN, was being questioned in Santa Marta, 465 miles north of Bogota.
He was arrested in Santa Marta on Thursday, a day after the rebel group announced it would free two of the foreigners on Monday. It was not clear whether the arrest would affect the planned release.
In September, gunmen from the rebel group seized four Israelis, two Britons, a German and a Spaniard in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern Colombia. One hostage, a British teenager, escaped soon afterward.

Well, I said spouse,but he's gone a lot and face it, being a guy sometimes isn't who you need to talk to, so that leaves just me. I'd have liked to been able to cast a vote for 50% hubby and 50% self.
I can count on my husband about half the time. I don't go to him with much. I've just always kept things inside, even if there was someone to talk to, I wouldn't. If it gets really bad I will open up to my husband with caution, but it's just to have an ear, he's not the best advice giver.
I voted spouse, but I can also count on several friends ... as well as my children.

The indications for adrenalectomy were developed before the introduction of laparoscopy. Tumors larger than 5 cm, tumors between 3 and 5 cm with worrisome features or in young patients who would require prolonged follow-up, and functioning tumors are generally accepted reasons to recommend adrenalectomy. In this article, Henneman and others reviewed their 20-year experience with adrenal surgery to determine whether the indications for operation have changed with the introduction of LA at their center. They conclude that the indications for surgery have remained constant during the study period. However, the authors note a dramatic increase in the number of adrenalectomies performed, from 66 cases to 203 cases after the introduction of LA. The laparoscopic era was further divided into 5-year intervals. An increase from 81 cases in the first 5-year period to 122 cases in the latter period was noted. The authors state that the recruitment of an endocrine surgeon with experience in LA might explain the increase in the latter 5 years. They also note that increased imaging, which has identified more adrenal incidentalomas, and greater emphasis placed on endocrine disease at their center are other possible reasons for the growth.

Microsoft Living Room PC concept
April 20, 2005 One & Co is a technology design consultancy of the first order, having designed many important products for companies such as Nike, Palm, Timex, Dell, Plantronics and Sony. The company recently released information on some work it has been doing with Microsoft in envisioning the Media Center PC that defines a new paradigm for computer hardware in the home. "The Microsoft Living Room PC concepts on our site are just that - concepts," said One and Co's Jonah Becker. "It was a project to visualise the media center PC as its own niche within the PC market, with unique functional and stylistic requirements. Microsoft uses such design references to encourage their hardware partners (Dell, HP, etc.) to innovate."
"The design is optimized for both two foot experience (i.e. loading media or connecting peripherals) and ten foot experience (i.e. watching TV, gaming, or reviewing music and image libraries).
"Taking cues from the living room environment, the product resembles an end table more than a conventional PC. The stylish design makes a lifestyle statement with wood and metal finishes that achieves One & Co's ultimate goal: to reconcile the system's functional demands with a sensibility that is geared to the final product's aesthetic appeal.
The site showed two variations on the Media PC theme... one a piece of furniture to be included among other living room furniture, and the other with "a wall-mounted version with a removable smart display to use as a remote and task-oriented display", said Becker.
"There are several concepts that we developed, and these are two that we're allowed to show publicly."

The most significant temptation in Matthew's narrative is the third and final one. Satan offers Jesus all the kingdoms of the earth, provided that Jesus will bow down and worship him. "Go away, Satan!" Jesus commands, refusing Satan's offer (Matt. 4:10). It's no surprise that Jesus later gives a similar rebuke to Peter: "Get behind me, Satan!" In both cases, Jesus was offered a kingdom without the Cross.
In Matthew's passion narrative, Jesus' mockers continue to borrow Satan's lines, urging Jesus to save himself from the Cross, since he claims to be the Son of God (27:40–43). Just like Mark, Matthew sees any theology downplaying suffering and the Cross as satanic.
Matthew also includes the story of Jesus being accused of using Satan to cast out demons (12:24). As in Mark, Jesus counters by saying that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Satan, the ruler of demons, has no incentive to undertake widespread deliverance of people from demons. Jesus also says he expels evil spirits by God's Spirit, demonstrating that he is ushering in God's kingdom (12:28). Jesus' critics are so determined to evade any evidence for Jesus' messianic identity that they brand God's Spirit as the devil. Such hard-heartedness, Jesus warns, risks blaspheming the Holy Spirit (12:31–32). Jesus concludes his response by turning the tables with a parable about his generation. He has been casting demons out, but his opponents are so determined to reject his work that they are inviting eight times as many demons back (12:43–45). Who, then, is really serving Satan?
As in Mark, the evil one snatches the gospel message from uncommitted hearts (13:19). Indeed, those who are not true followers of Jesus remain aligned with the devil (13:39) and are destined for the eternal fire designated for the devil and his angels (25:41). No wonder so many Americans find the devil problematic. Jesus doesn't give a feel-good message on this subject; his portrayal of Satan is dark and serious.
The devil is bad news not only for outsiders but also for Jesus' followers. Although the translation could be debated, it appears that the evil one stands behind temptation more widely (5:37). When we pray for God to protect us from temptation, we also pray for protection from the tempter, "the evil one" (6:13). Whether this refers to Satan's direct activity or his indirect activity, the reality of cosmic evil cannot be underestimated—and there is a cunning personal force behind much of it.
Many of Luke's observations about the devil overlap with Mark's and Matthew's, so I'll focus on how he supplements their points.
At the temptation, for example, Satan claims that he has authority to give kingdoms to whomever he wishes (Luke 4:6). Satan doesn't bother to mention that his authority is merely delegated to him, and that God holds the ultimate authority over all kingdoms (Dan. 4:32).

[quote]Tell other CrossFitters you puked after a WOD. Will they tell you to watch the intensity and not overdo it, like they should? Or, will they kind of smile and nod, acknowledging how tough CrossFit is? I suspect the latter. Maybe I'm wrong.[/quote]
You may be, and are, wrong. Okay, I shouldn't say that as such an absolute, so: that hasn't been my experience. And I've had a pretty widely varied Crossfit experience. What you describe just does not and would not happen among the vast majority of Crossfit coaches and clients. Again, there are always the Crossfit dudebros who are very vocal about how badass their puking is, but they comprise maybe 1% of the Crossfitting population. I've heard people talk about puking during a workout generally to the tune of, "It happened once, it was the worst, I went way too hard, I've listened to my body since then." And my coaches straight up say, "You should not be making yourself puke." Those exact words.
[quote]I am not sure I follow you. So you're saying that you trust your local CrossFit coaches, that have been certified by CrossFit HQ, but you don't trust CrossFit HQ directly?[/quote]
I can see why that would confuse you, but basically, yes.
[quote]If HQ don't have the programming right, why do you think the local box does - they've been taught by HQ![/quote]
I'm sorry to be blunt, but this just illustrates how little you know what you're talking about. The vast majority of Crossfit coaches (okay, I'll qualify: that I have met and worked with) are either ex-athletes or longtime trainers with years and years of training and programming experience in a huge variety of athletic fields. They get their Level 1 Cert so that they are allowed to affiliate as Crossfit. But their training and programming expertise is actually that, expertise. Most coaches at my box list their Crossfit cert last on a long list of qualifications. Why, you might ask, don't they just open their own gyms and do their own training, then? Well, because 1) they genuinely love Crossfit and being part of the global xfit community, and 2) they want to make money.
[quote]To open a CrossFit affiliated gym you need:
- Level I CrossFit certification
- Money[/quote]
Agreed. And there are definitely boxes that have shitty programming and shitty coaching, and I've said in this thread and many others that your experience with Crossfit is all about the programming/coaching and you have to find a good box. But honestly, in my experience, these crappy boxes are more rare than you'd think. Most Crossfit affiliates I've been to are excellent.
[quote]Pick any local WODs that you do, and ask the coaches why specifically they choose the exercises that they do, the rep ranges that they use, the interaction between the exercises, the workout-to-workout progress and recovery, and how they envision long term progress in all the different physical stats beyond just getting better at WODs due to general endurance adaptations. The response I always heard was the CrossFit party line of "increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains".[/quote]
We have had very, very different experiences, then. My coaches are incredibly thoughtful, knowledgable, and expert in the field. They can--and do, all the time, when people stay behind after class to ask questions--give long, detailed explanations of elements, form, programming, recovery, you name it. Long story short, there is a method to their madness and they can explain that method down to its underpinnings. That blows that you've been given rote answers, but it's just not been my experience at the majority of gyms at which I've trained. (And really, it's incredibly obvious when an affiliate is not up to snuff. There's one in particular in CA at which I trained recently that was appallingly bad in its coaching and programming, and the coach could barely take a stab at answering deeper questions. But that was one single experience in... it's probably been ten or eleven different Crossfits I've been to, over the past couple years, all over the country and also in Canada.)

I agree that those are badly thought-out WODs, and I've never done one like that at any xfit gym. I will reiterate: when you go to Crossfit, you are paying for the specialized programming and coaching; you are not simply paying for people to watch you do the main site WODs, and friends to do them with.
[quote]Find me a single person who can explain why those exact exercises were used, why for those rep ranges, why with those weights? Also, how does this fit, precisely, into a long-term plan and how will progress on all these things be measured?[/quote]
I'm sure whoever created those workouts had a goal in mind, but since those workouts would never get thrown at me at my box, I don't really care to think about it too hard. It's kind of a moot point, y'know?
The OP of this thread is working out at an actual Crossfit gym with that gym's particular programming. Talking about the main site WODs just doesn't really apply. If you spent any time in the xfit community, at a xfit gym, listened to any xfit podcasts or read any magazines or anything, you'd glean pretty quickly that the sport has evolved waaaaaaaaay beyond the main site's offerings. It's a whole different animal from what you perceive. I'm not saying you're wrong or dumb; I can totally see how you picked up those perceptions. But they're just not applicable to the current Crossfit landscape. And they're especially useless when giving advice to someone who isn't just trying to hack it out on their own, who is indeed being coached and following specialized programming.
You can dislike Crossfit all you want. It's really okay. It won't offend me. I'm just trying to offer a counterpoint to your perceptions, which were possibly well-founded at one point in time, but don't apply to Crossfit as it currently exists.

I'm a surf loving, fiber addicted, home seamstress and knitter.View all patterns by designer (5) »
The Saucy Librarian is a cute, cap sleeved shell sweater that looks great paired with a pencil skirt or jeans. This knitting pattern is simple with great design elements that are reminiscent of vintage sweaters. Knitters will find this sweater pattern a great introduction to top down raglans as well as a quick knit. This sweater can be knit with wool but I prefer a wool silk blend (like the Mirasol Projects Tupa) that gives the sweater a little drape.
This knitting pattern while easy is best for an intermediate knitter to an advanced knitter.

You have to give it credit, Final Fantasy VIII over the years has come to be known as a misunderstood classic of bizarre game design, if not of particularly endearing story. As a FFVIII apologist, I agree with this. The junction system sure isn't perfect, but it allows you (and very early on) to basically break the game wide open and become a polygonal demigod of ass-kicking monster payback. Call it ego, but that totally tickles me. I love games that I find that I can break after the fact, in this case like FFVIII. I toughed through it the first time like a champion, I feel I deserve to bend it to my will.
When people talk about RPGs, some of the more common compliments/ criticisms is that the main character goes from chump to deity over the course of the game, maybe even leading to a player god-complex. Games that actively encourage you to do this, like FFVIII, do this to an almost extreme degree. Yes, some of it takes a bit of planning, but the payoff for being essentially able to show the final boss of the game what's what after a paltry few hours is a feeling that doesn't even come around during Christmas (you know, when you should feel superior to everyone else, right? ...right?). Yeah, I get that you don't think it's fun this way, but that doesn't stop you from going through the entire game legit and tearing through it a second time far more briefly and grossly overpowered. Besides, having done most of the sidequests through most other normal RPGs can make endgame boss encounters a joke anyway. I say, let's cut the crap and get right to brass tacks.
For some games, though, what seems like a game breaking glitch or opportunity doesn't always work. Take the leveling trick in Dragon Age II: Since enemies scale with you (just like in Dragon Age: Origins, Oblivion, etc.) and so does equipment, you're not really getting a drastic advantage over the enemies as other games with scaling enemies like FFVIII, where you could significantly alter stats via junctioning. My second trip through DAII was a drag because I tested this out, and the only thing that came out of it was a surly mage with more spells than she knew what to do with.
For whatever reason, people tend to look at Final Fantasy XII and not realize that with its quasi-free roaming nature that it's breakable as well. I've just started another playthrough, and after finding this handy FAQ, I'm having a ton of fun with it. Granted, it took me about two and a half hours to get the initial set up for the power leveling, but at 3:10 in (I just checked) I've basically cracked the first half of the game in two with a plan in place to bust the rest of it wide open. Maybe I'll finally set up some good gambits and take on some of the crazier optional boss fights. If anything, you can leave that stuff on for the hour or so you're fighting them and walk away, and my car needs a good scrub, I suppose.
Look at that. Breaking a game even helps you multitask! I think I'm on to something here.

The medical profession has increasingly recognized the magnitude and impact of intimate partner violence. Intimate partner violence also occurs in teenagers in the form of dating violence. Olshen and colleagues surveyed more than 8000 high school students and found that approximately 10% of both female and male teenagers reported dating violence in the last year. Suicide attempts in the last year were reported by 11% of adolescent girls and 7% of adolescent boys. Dating violence was associated with a 60% greater chance of suicide attempts in adolescent girls; whereas for adolescent boys, sexual assault at any point in their lives increased the risk of suicide attempt nearly 4-fold. This study indicates the need to address intimate partner violence among teenagers and to intervene with all children and adolescents who are victims of violence to prevent long-term adverse effects.
Relieving pain during procedures in the emergency department (ED) is challenging but is an important and necessary element of providing quality care. Children in the ED is a somewhat unique situation because the caregivers, while attempting to comfort their children, are exposed to the psychological trauma of the painful procedure as well. This study examined the physiological and anxiety responses of caregivers while watching their child undergo intravenous cannulation. Caregivers were found to have a significant increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety while watching. The caregivers' distress and anxiety were found to account for a substantial portion of the variability in the child's distress and anxiety. Thus, comforting of the child must also include measures to reduce stress and anxiety in the caregivers, as well.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common neonatal gastrointestinal emergency, with an incidence of 5% to 10% in very low-birth-weight infants. This systematic review and meta-analysis were undertaken to determine whether infants with NEC were at risk for later development of neurodevelopmental impairment. The meta-analysis of 8 studies found a nearly 2-fold increased risk of neurodevelopmental impairment in infants with stage II or worse NEC compared with infants without NEC. Those infants who required surgical intervention were at higher risk of later neurodevelopmental impairment compared with those who required medical management only. The risk of impairment associated with NEC was higher in patients with cerebral palsy, cognitive impairment, or severe visual impairment.
Because of the obesity epidemic in children, increasing attention is being paid to the longer-term effect of intervention programs aimed at weight reduction and increasing physical activity. In this study, Carrel and colleagues followed a cohort of children who had lost weight with a lifestyle-focused physical education class to determine if this weight loss and other accompanying physiologic improvements were maintained during the 3-month summer vacation. Unfortunately, body fat and fasting insulin increased during the summer break, and cardiovascular physical fitness decreased. This study indicates that efforts to address obesity and its concurrent problems in children need to be continued throughout the year.

Zora Neale Hurston wrote her second and best-known novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, during an ethnographic field-visit to Haiti, collecting Haitian folklore during the day, and late into the night recreating the world of Eatonville, Florida, the all-black township in which she had grown up. The novel drew on her memories of its inhabitants' rich folk culture, for which she saw many parallels in Haiti, but her immediate impetus for writing came in fact from an intense, abortive love-affair. In her autobiography, Hurston says the novel "was damned up in me . . . I wrote it under internal pressure in seven weeks"; within it, she says, she sought to "embalm all the tenderness of my passion" for her lover (Dust Tracks …

proc node_NODE1 { ... } { ... } proc node_NODE2 { ... } { ... } ... eval [xml::parse $file]The basic advantage of this is that, instead of interpreted code manipulating script-level data structures, you have C code (the interpreter) manipulating the data structures that represent the language. See http://www-dse.doc.ic.ac.uk/~np2/patterns/scripting/
proc o args { proc [set name [info level 0]] x " [join $args { [}] \$x [string repeat \] [expr {[llength $args]-1}]]" set name }Maybe some explanations are necessary. A procedure named "o" is created (popular operator for function composition) which takes any number of arguments (indicated by the "args" special name). What the proc does is create another proc, with a name exactly as its creator was called (this is what [info level 0] returns), and exactly one argument, called x. The body of this generated proc joins the args arguments (function names) with a space and an open bracket, indicating embedded evaluation, then the argument x - dereferenced by $ but deferred by the prepended backslash - and finally a sequence of closing brackets, one less than the length of the originally input args. For example, consider the composition of three functions named "foo", "bar", and "grill":
% o foo bar grill o foo bar grillThe returned result is the name of the generated procedure (not a true lambda, as it has a name, but coming close). It contains spaces, but that is no problem in Tcl, just quote accordingly. For instance, if we want to see the body of the generated procedure,
% info body "o foo bar grill" foo [bar [grill $x ]]See? A "nest of invocations" of the three functions has been created, and calling "o foo bar grill" with an argument just combines the three functions as intended. RichardSuchenwirth
read my mind and do what I meanwhich in many other languages would have to be
read("my", "mind", "and", "do", "what", "I", "mean");And upvar is confusing enough to tie them up in knots for ever more. Tcl is a tragic case of a language design being severely degraded by a single feature. FUD. Upvar is 1) not needed all that often, 2) a very simple concept: given the name of a variable, and optionally a context (global or stack level), upvar sets up an alias so you can access that variable (r/w) via a local name. It's indispensable for Tcl's by-value / reference-free approach to data structures. -- jcw Yes. One should only use upvar when he wants to return two or more variables from a procedure and doesn't want to do that in a list. To explain it even simpler: the [upvar] command is Tcl's way of CallByName, pretty equivalent to passing a pointer to a variable in C (only that you can specify the scope in which the name applies). It is mostly used to pass Tcl arrays (hash tables in fact), which can't be done by value. But it, together with [uplevel], also allows building all kind of debugging tools very simply. Here's an example - append an item to a list if it isn't there yet: If that explanation were in the manual entry for upvar or in the tcl tutorial at http://www.tcl.tk, far less people would be confused by upvar.
proc ladd {listVar item} { upvar 1 $listVar list if {[lsearch $list $item] == -1} {lappend list $item} } set aList {2 4 8 16} ladd $aList 16 ;# doing it wrong; you should pass the name of # the variable, not its value. ladd aList 32 ;# aList is now {2 4 8 16 32}. ladd aList 4 ;# aList is unchanged.Another example, first in C:
void f(int x, int *y) { *y = x; }then the equivalent in Tcl:
proc f {x _y} { upvar $_y y set y $x }The difference to LISP (with its special forms and macros) is that you can always know whether you pass a value (as constant, or with "$" notation), or a variable name (via upvar) that may have side-effects, like changing the list, in the example. In general, I suppose people experienced in languages of the Fortran/Algol/C/Java heritage may sometimes be bewildered by Tcl's concepts, but coming from LISP, one might very soon feel at home... -- RichardSuchenwirth
$t insert end "Hello World!"The "t" variable is referencing some kind of widget (in this case a text GUI widget). What is happening in this case from a linguistical standpoint? How does it know which widget to operate on, especially if there are multiple text widgets? the $t will be expanded to the value stored in t, which as you say is an instance of a widget. you have to remember that the first word on a line in TCL is a command (the rest of the words are arguments to the command) . the text command created a new command which enables you to interact with that text widget. so you call the 'interact with text widget foo' command, which happens to be the path of the text widget, it then uses insert end "Hello world!" to do that operation on itself. hope that made sense - there is more info in the help that comes with TCL -- JamesKeogh I am still fuzzy on the steps the interpreter is taking. Tcl is not inherently object-oriented, so thinking of it in terms of an OOP language is probably misleading. The variable substitution may create a command that looks something like:
.myTextWidget insert end "Hello World!"But what exactly is ".myTextWidget"? It appears that ".myTextWidget" is a dynamically created function, not an object, but my documentation talks about it like it is an object in some places. Is this to sound "in fashion" to attract more Tcl users, or is it really an object? .myTextWidget is a string, namely the name (actually the "path" in tcl jargon). It's all strings. Actually there may be some gyrations you can go through to get the underlying widget, but in general, with Tcl, you're dealing with names, not references. As an optimization, the compiler generates code that knows about types, widgets, what have you, but the closest analog to tcl is shell script. In the context above, i.e. beginning a line with the widget name, it's interpreted as if it's a function or object (with no references, there's really no difference). You can't go getting a reference to .myTextWidget though, except for its name - Tcl has CallByName semantics, and oh yes, you can abuse the hell out of those semantics if you try. Ultimately, however, these semantics tend to hinder the language from being able to implement advanced things instead of helping it, as was discovered in AlgolSixty (another language to have CallByName semantics) But Tcl is supposed to follow the convention:
command paramString1 paramString2 paramString3 ...So it tries to execute ".myTextWidget" as a command. Is it actually "registered" as a command? For example, somehow put into the "command/function list"? yes it is actually a command try this in wish:
button .but -text "test" info commands .*button creates a new command called .but, .but command acts on a particular button widget. "info" commands list all the commands with the given pattern. -- JamesKeogh {Did minor syntax editing}
1. text .myTextWidget 2. set t .myTextWidget 3. pack $t 4. $t insert end "Hello World!"Let's see if I've got this straight. The first line creates a command called ".myTextWidget". The second line creates a variable "t" that contains the string ".myTextWidget" (for reference convenience). The third line ("pack") sends the string ".myTextWidget" to the "pack" command. The fourth line evaluates internally into:
.myTextWidget insert end "Hello World!"which executes the command created in line one. In line one, the Tk system creates both a command named ".myTextWidget" and puts the name ".myTextWidget" into an internal list. Line three uses the internal list, not the command (that was also created). Line four executes the command ".myTextWidget" that was created in line one. It is confusing because the Tk system creates two things which can be referenced: a command and an entry in an internal list. These are two different things even though they have the same name. My Tcl book never seemed to clarify this double action, leaving me to scratch my head. Well, I suppose the Tk system can use the command list as the "internal list" I talked about to achieve the same thing. But, the point is that in some of the commands we are passing a string (widget ID) and in others we are using it as a command.
proc until {condition body} { uplevel 1 $body while {![uplevel 1 [list expr $condition]]} { uplevel 1 $body } }Why do we need a "list" construct? Why not just:
while {![uplevel 1 $condition]} {...}These are the tricky parts. "list" can be used to protect from double-evaluation, if $condition for instance contains parts which start with $ we don't want them evaluated by the interpreter but to let the "expr" command deal with them. "list" is generally used for this with "eval" and "uplevel" and similar things -- KristofferLawson Why don't the "body" uplevel's also need to use "list"? Because the "body" uplevels only get substituted once. Each time Tcl sees a command, it breaks it up into words (based on spaces and quoting). Then it does one level of expansion in those words (no expansion happens in {} quotes). So, assume $body == {puts "Hello, world!"}, and $condition == {$a == 1}. Tcl turns the "uplevel 1 $body" into:
uplevel 1 "puts \"Hello, world!\""The uplevel then does an eval on the 3rd argument, so the command runs as:
puts "Hello, world!"Just as we intended it. The "while" command, on the other hand, gets passed with two words, the condition:
{![uplevel 1 [list expr $condition]]}And the body:
{ uplevel 1 $body }The condition gets passed implicitly to the "expr" command (sort of; it won't call your expr if you redefine it). The "expr" command does variable, backslash and [command] substitution on the string. So:
[uplevel 1 [list expr $condition]]gets expanded recursively:
uplevel 1 [list expr $condition]then (because [list] quotes its operands):
expr {$a == 1}gets executed one level up in the stack context. The {} quoting around the expr argument is required because expr does its own substitution. If you let uplevel parse it as:
uplevel 1 expr $conditionthe first level expansion will turn it into:
uplevel 1 expr "$a == 1"then uplevel itself would substitute:
expr $a == 1And if, for example, $a == "x y", the expr would fail with a syntax error when it does its own expansion, because it would try to parse:
{x y == 1}

Idea of the Day: How to Address the Crisis in Ukraine
U.S., European, and Russian leaders have watched the political crisis in Ukraine with great concern since last fall when hundreds of thousands of protestors rallied in Kiev's Independence Square. The demonstrations were against then Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's decision to reject closer economic ties with the European Union. But what started as a domestic political crisis over the direction of Ukraine's economy has now escalated into an international military crisis with Russia's subsequent blatant violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity.
Following the initial protests in November, an escalating spiral of violence between Ukrainian security services and the protestors eventually drove Russian-leaning President Yanukovych from power in February to be replaced by government officials who favor a stronger relationship with the European Union. Less than 10 days after Yanukovych's ouster, the Russian government deployed several thousand troops into the Ukrainian region of Crimea—a strategically important peninsula on the Black Sea with a majority ethnic Russian population and a Russian naval base in the port city of Sevastopol. Russian President Vladimir Putin has defended the military incursion into Ukrainian territory under the pretense of protecting Crimea's large Russian-speaking population from Ukrainian authorities and right-wing Ukrainian nationalists. The Russian government now appears to be preparing to annex Crimea and incorporate it into the Russian Federation, which would be a further escalation of the conflict and another significant violation of international law.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
FRIDAY, June 14 (HealthDay News) -- Only about a quarter of newly graduated physicians work in primary care and only about 5 percent practice in rural areas, despite public funding of graduate medical education (GME), according to research published online June 7 in Academic Medicine.
Candice Chen, M.D., M.P.H., from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and colleagues analyzed data from 8,977 physicians who had graduated from 759 medical residency sites from 2006 to 2008 to determine where they practiced three to five years after graduation.
The researchers found that only 25.2 percent of physicians were working in primary care, including hospitalists. The top 20 primary care producing sites graduated 41.0 percent of primary care graduates and received only $292.1 million in total Medicare GME payments, while the bottom 20 sites graduated only 6.3 percent but received $842.4 million in payments. In addition, only 4.8 percent of graduates practiced in rural areas.
"These findings can inform educators and policy makers during a period of increased calls to align the GME system with national health needs," Chen and colleagues conclude.
