20 Reasons You Just Might Be A Liberal (2012 Election Edition)
With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, you just might be a liberal if…
1) You get extremely upset about the idea of the government coming into our bedrooms unless it's to give everyone free birth control.
2) You believe that people who hold the exact same position on gay marriage that Barack Obama did last year are horrible bigots who are unfit to hold office.
3) You think that Mitt Romney, who has raked leaves for old people, helped a dying child with his will, and paid for college educations for kids who became quadriplegics in a car wreck, is less compassionate than Barack Obama who makes fun of kids in the Special Olympics and made his own brother beg other people to get the money to pay for his child's hospital bill.
4) You think Mitt Romney having an offshore bank account is a bigger deal than Barack Obama forgiving a billion dollars of debt owed to us by the anti-American, pro-terrorist theocrats who run Egypt.
5) You believe that Obama putting more Americans on food stamps than any other President in history is a feature, not a bug.
6) You get angry because you believe rich Americans aren't paying their "fair share," but you don't question whether the government is spending its "fair share" of the money that other people earned on the Stimulus, cash for clunkers, Solyndra, and other wasteful uses of our tax dollars.
7) You think Halliburton bidding for and winning government contracts was a scandal since Dick Cheney used to work there, but you think Barack Obama giving away 25 billion dollars in taxpayer money to help out his union cronies at GM and Chevrolet is honest and above reproach.
8) You believe anti-war protests, dead soldiers, and "grim milestones" ceased to be important the moment Barack Obama was elected and chose to continue many of the same practices he criticized when he ran for office in 2008.
9) You think Mitt Romney putting his dog on top of his car to take on his vacation is a big deal, but Barack Obama eating a dog to GAIN ITS POWERS isn't.
10) You think the key issues of Election 2012 are whether Romney releases his old tax returns as opposed to which candidate can help get the economy back on track, create jobs, and get the debt under control.
11) You don't believe there's any voter fraud in America after watching Democrats commit voter fraud on the floor of their own convention to put God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel back into their party platform.
12) You believe that most of the people who are criticizing Barack Obama are doing it because he's black, but you would be offended if someone said the only reason you criticize Mitt Romney is because you hate Mormons.
13) You think that the best way to "save Medicare" is to support Barack Obama, who took $718 billion out of the program to fund Obamacare, over Mitt Romney who would kill Obamacare and put that money back in the program.
14) You believe Bush is a war criminal for creating Gitmo and wasting terrorists with drone attacks, but Barack Obama is just doing what he has to do to keep us safe.
15) You get more upset about what Mitt Romney does with his money than Barack Obama does with our money.
16) You think that giving the SEALs permission to kill Osama Bin Laden is actually a "gutsy call" as opposed to the same call pretty much any adult American not named Louis Farrakhan or Michael Moore would have made.
17) You think Barack Obama's four years of miserable failure at creating jobs makes him better qualified to get the economy going than Mitt Romney's wildly successful career as an entrepreneur.
18) You are demanding that the GOP cease its "war on women" by agreeing to the government-funded abortions of tens of millions of unborn women.
19) You believe that guns are dangerous and should be heavily regulated, that is unless they're being given to Mexican cartels by the Department of Justice, in which case you think anything goes.
20) You accept the idea that George W. Bush is responsible for all the problems we have now because the President of the United States is so powerful, but you also believe that Barack Obama isn't responsible for anything that's going wrong because Republicans in Congress won't let him do anything he wants.

Wind foes draft one of their own for governorBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | August 15,2012MONTPELIER A surprise write-in campaign has added drama to the Aug. 28 primary, when opponents of mountaintop wind development will look to transform one of their own into a major-party candidate for governor.
Annette Smith, executive director of Vermonters for a Clean Environment and one of the most prominent opponents of ridge-top wind turbines, has been more or less conscripted by a coalition of fellow activists looking to put their issue front and center in the 2012 governors race.
Stephanie Kaplan, of East Calais, is among those trying to push Smith to victory as a write-in in the Progressive primary for governor.
At first we wanted to nominate somebody to run against (Gov. Peter) Shumlin in the Democratic primary, as a protest vote, Kaplan said Tuesday. And then we realized that she could actually win the Progressive primary.
The Progressives already have a gubernatorial nominee on the primary ballot in Martha Abbott, who won the partys endorsement at its committee meeting Sunday. But given low turnout historically in Progressive primaries, Smiths chances arent so slight as they would be on the Democratic or Republican ballot.
In 2010, 533 Vermonters filled out a Progressive primary ballot. In 2008, the number was 470.
Contacted at her Danby office Tuesday, Smith said she had no direct knowledge of the write-in effort and said she wasnt interested in talking politics.
Im doing my work, Vermonters for a Clean Environment work, and thats what I have the capacity to talk about, Smith said.
Pressed, she said she was aware that others might be working to make her the Progressive Partys nominee.
I know theres an effort going on, Smith said. There are a lot of people who are upset and who are very, very unhappy with the status quo.
Kaplan confirmed that Smith was one of the last to find out shed been selected as a candidate.
I told her, Annette, were thinking of drafting you. She said, Do what you want, but Im busy and cant be involved in it, and if I should win Id decide then whether I would actually run, Kaplan said.
An email touting Smiths write-in candidacy enumerates her supporters grievances with Shumlin. They center on the first-term governors support for ridgeline wind development, as well as his endorsement of Green Mountain Powers merger with Central Vermont Public Service.
We do feel that we need to offer an alternative, said Peggy Sapphire, a Craftsbury resident who until two years ago served as secretary of the Vermont Progressive Party. Were certainly not expecting shell win. However, we cannot bring ourselves to vote for Shumlin, and neither do we want to vote for (Randy) Brock. And this is a way of gathering our numbers and making a statement at a time when people will pay attention.
Smiths supporters have set up a website http://annettesmithforvermontgov.blogspot.com and said they will spread news of the write-in campaign on social media sites, Front Porch Forum, extensive email lists and other digital platforms.
Morgan Daybell, executive director of the Vermont Progressive Party, said he learned of the write-in campaign Tuesday morning. He said the news came as a surprise, but I wouldnt say its unwelcome.
I think its good to have a contest in a primary, Daybell said.
He said he didnt know much about Smith or her political views.
Abbott didnt respond to messages left Tuesday afternoon; the Shumlin campaign declined to comment.
Sapphire said Smith is respected by opponents of corporate wind power as an intelligent and articulate spokeswoman for the movement.
Steve Wright, an opponent of big wind who has worked to stop GMPs 21-turbine project under construction on Lowell Mountain, said electoral politics may offer critics of Shumlins positions a more prominent platform from which to voice their concerns.
The Shumlin administration has grabbed hold of developing ridgeline wind resources with regard to their presumed effect on allaying or ameliorating the effect of advancing climate change, and the technical facts are that ridgeline wind does not reduce carbon emissions at an effective level to help Vermonters deal with the effects of climate change, said Wright, formerly a climate change educator for the National Wildlife Federation.
The apparent approach by this administration is to advance a program of blowing up the landscape in order to protect it.

Germany Insurance for EU students
Hello guys, does anyone here has been with a German Insurance for HIV EU students?I am moving in Germany for 6-12 months and I already have the EHIC Card (European Health Card) but the University still wants a paper from a German Insurance. Since I am from Cyprus, mostly medications are free for students and other categories.So my questions would be:1. Is it ok to go with a German Insurance, or just having my meds from Cyprus by courier and the thing is done?2.If I still have to be Insuranced what would be the best (public I guess) Insurance in Germany for HIV students?3. Since I am new in HIV drugs I have to be tested regurarly atm, will all this be covered by an Insurance or somehowP.S I am sooo confused with Insurances and stuff like that, but any helpful answer is acceptable. Thank you guys.

Can someone give me a hand with these? I'm at a total loss.
View problems here.
Then a word problem (these always throw me in a loop).
Then a word problem too: "The height of a triangle is 4 inches less than the base. The area is 30 square inches. Find the height."
First, factor the numerator of the first fraction:
Multiply, then simplify:
Your second problem is a little difficult to read. I'll venture a guess:
If this is not exactly it, you can still use it as a model.
First, multiply by the least common multiple of the divisors to clear the fractions.
Subtract 75 from both sides and then divide by -6 and you're done.
Now, onto your last one.
This is already in slope-intercept form, so we can easily tell that the slope is
Now, you want the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this one, so we must use the negative reciprocal of this slope.
The negative reciprocal of is
Using point (-1, 4) and our newly acquired slope of , we can use the point slope form of the linear equation to find our required equation.
It's just a matter of substitution now.

This is a common problem.
Try searching the internet
Let be the th harmonic number. I started with induction and easily arrived at is not an integer so assume that where . Then .
But I realize now that this is a dead end. How do I proceed? I know I am trying to show that the denominator of the sum is even while the numerator is odd.
While the internet is useful, the site you have linked seems to be a collection of rough sketches of proofs; which I had a bit of trouble fleshing out. When I tried to follow similar arguments to construct a proof, I found that things got very messy.
I did several internet searches before I made my post, but all the arguments I found seemed either: ad-hoc, or dependent on p-adic arguments. And I don't know what p-adic is so...
I have constructed the following proof. I didn't see anything like this in the online proofs that I found, so I'm worried that my proof is incomplete.
If D={1,2}, then m- ½=1=an integer. Its a trivial case.
m = r/s + 1/p
=>s = mps-pr
i.e. p|s which is a contradiction due to the defn of s. This might suffice the proof. Your approach was excellent.

Summer 2007
Cindy Sinclair
Stage-Bound in Nashville
Question: What's the perfect job for a hard-core fan of bluegrass and country music? Answer: Stage-managing live awards shows in Nashville, where the job is to make sure legendary performers like Dolly Parton know where they're supposed to be from the moment they hit the red carpet until the curtain drops and they're off to meet the press.
"I'm sort of like a doting mother," laughs Cindy Sinclair from her renovated log cabin in the woods outside Nashville. She has guided country music's biggest stars through two decades of live TV specials. Sinclair sees to it that the performers are comfortable and briefed on the schedule. "I'll give them a 30-minute, 15-minute, and 5-minute knock [on their dressing room doors] before I take them to the stage," she explains. "The onstage managers deal with production issues, but we're dedicated to the performers. We have isolated channels on our headsets to track their comings and goings backstage."
Stagehands who work with Sinclair say she wields a "velvet whip" in getting performers to the stage on time. Her friendly but efficient workstyle has earned her many fans among musicians. Over the years, Roy Acuff has sung to her in the halls of the Grand Ole Opry, and she was startled when former president Clinton offered his compliments backstage (to which she spontaneously replied, "Thanks, Bill"). She's never missed a performer's call, although she came close when Erykah Badu slipped away to the bathroom moments before she was due onstage at the Grammys.
Sinclair, who grew up in Central Illinois playing guitar and banjo, credits a chance encounter with Grammy-winning musician John Hartford with her unique career. "I had a high school job playing banjo on the Julia Belle Swain, a steamboat on the Illinois River that John came to pilot," she says. "After college, John and his wife invited me down to Nashville, and I never left. My very first job was as the trophy girl for the Country Music Awards (CMA)," Sinclair recalls. "It was a way to get my foot in the door before moving up to stage-managing."
Sinclair knows firsthand that working in live television is unpredictable and has seen her share of near misses. "I was a stage manager one time at CMA when a wheel broke on the band cart carrying Lyle Lovett and Asleep at the Wheel," she remembers. "The wheel kept going and going and stopped just short of the edge of the stage where Julia Roberts and other celebrities were sitting in the audience. Luckily, only a few footlight bulbs were broken."
Short profiles of Guild members in all categories sharing their experiences "on the job."
Stage Manager Bill Miller is always busy—and that's just how he likes it.
UPM Louise Rosner's 20-year career has taken her all over the world.
Danielle Rigby's love of all things equine has made her a better assistant director.
In quotes from previous issues, assistant directors, UPMs, associate directors, and stage managers, past and present, reflect on doing their jobs.
Kate Louise Moran worked her way up from a temp job at London Weekend Television, joined an associate director training program, and went on to have a long career in live TV.
1st AD Richard Styles spends lots of time traveling across the Atlantic from the U.K. to American locations like Oklahoma, Atlanta, and Beverly Hills.
UPM Meredith Zamsky spent her first years on the job in New York, but moved to Los Angeles in 2006 and worked on popular shows such as Castle and The Office.
Inside a production truck deep in the bowels of the Staples Center, director Jimmy Moore calls the shots that bring the NBA playoffs into your living room with startling clarity.

Angels turn things around against Rays
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – No more cowbell.
The Angels combined early offense and another solid start from Jered Weaver with a new element – a ninth inning without an elevated threat level. Newly installed closer Jordan Walden closed out the Angels' 5-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night, retiring the side in order on 13 pitches (10 strikes) and giving the home crowd no reason to reach for those infernal cowbells that have become as omnipresent as catwalks and empty seats at Tropicana Field.
"We needed that – that early jump out to a lead," said Angels outfielder Torii Hunter who had two RBI singles in the game. "Seems like we've been behind every day, battling back.
"Two walkoff home runs (by the Royals in the season-opening series)? That's not fun. Not fun."
The Rays certainly felt the same about the start to their season. They were swept by the Baltimore Orioles and managed a total of three runs in the three losses.
Weaver (2-0) never allowed them to get any momentum Tuesday. He took a two-hitter into the seventh inning, one of those being a solo home run by former Angel Sean Rodriguez in the third inning.
By then, the Angels had staked him to a 4-0 lead with a three-run first and Hank Conger's first major-league home run leading off the second. Howie Kendrick, Bobby Abreu and Hunter strung together consecutive singles for one of the first-inning runs. Then Alberto Callaspo drove in two with his two-out single.
"Early runs are important to any pitcher and Jered did what you want a guy to do with that – pound the strike zone and make your pitches," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
Though it might have been the home run that sent Conger to his phone as soon as the game ended, he had more than that to brag about after his first start of the season and 10th of his major-league career. The Angels have anticipated his arrival because of the offense he can provide at catcher – but he has a 2.02 catcher's ERA and the Angels have eight wins in those 10 starts.
"Behind the plate, he's come a long way," Scioscia said. "He had a terrific game tonight. What's impressive with the growth we've seen from him once he's been able to stay healthy – he understands the game and can slow the game down back there and call his game."
If Conger slows the game down, Scioscia has sped up the learning curve for Walden, elevating him to closer even though he was converted to reliever in the minor leagues just a year ago and has thrown just 181/3 innings since his major-league debut in late August last season.
"I was really surprised," Walden said of Scioscia's decision to replace Fernando Rodney with him. "Just didn't think this day would come."
Angel fans probably felt that even more acutely after watching the bullpen take three late losses in Kansas City.
There was still reason to be apprehensive Tuesday. Hisanori Takahashi walked two of the four batters he faced after replacing Weaver in the seventh, giving the Angels relievers 15 walks in their first 161/3 innings this season. And Michael Kohn allowed a two-run home run to B.J. Upton in the eighth, creating the save situation for Walden.
"My adrenaline was running. I felt like it was my second debut," said Walden who had his first major-league save last September. "Being a reliever, you want the ball in your hands at the end of the game so when I found out I was going to be the closer, I was really excited."
If Walden's blood pressure rose in the ninth inning, his was the only one. He set the Rays down 1-2-3 on a pair of fly outs and a game-ending strikeout, throwing all fastballs (with the exception of one slider) that ranged from 96-99 mph.
"It's awesome to have no drama – no walks, no drama," Hunter said of the ninth inning. "J-Dub definitely pounds the strike zone. I think he has the mental makeup to be closer and he pounds the strike zone at 97 (mph) and says, 'Here it comes. Try and hit it.'"

Contract for Services at CCEA
Pensions Automatic Enrolment What this means for you
The government has made important changes to legislation surrounding pensions. Employers will now be required to automatically enrol workers who meet the relevant criteria in to a work place pension scheme without them having to do anything.
The changes have been introduced because millions of people are not saving enough for their retirement. The new pensions legislation is therefore designed to encourage those who are not saving at all or not saving enough, to start saving more. The State Pension is currently £110.15 a week for a single person. If you want to have more when you retire, you will need to start saving for a pension on top of that. The earlier you start the more you can save and the easier it will be.
The legislation sets out different categories of workers based on age and earnings. We will write to you in due course to advise you of the category in to which you fall. We will also inform you when you have been enrolled, or if youre not being automatically enrolled, well tell you how you can start saving in a workplace pension.
You can choose to opt out of the scheme if you want to, but if you stay in you will have your own pension which you get when you retire.
When this will happen
When exactly an employer enrols their workers depends on their size. Very large employers did it first, in late 2012 and early 2013. Other employers are following sometime after this, over several years. Here at CCEA,if you meet the relevant criteria, we will enrol you into our workplace pension scheme in early 2014.

Scott Rolen's career is coming to a close. Last year, Rolen was plagued by injury and played in just 65 games.
This year, through 13 games, Rolen is struggling. In 43 plate appearances, he's batting just .170/.228/.226 with three doubles and three RBI.
Should Rolen continue at this rate, he may not finish out the season. Even if he does, this year is likely to be his last.
Should that turn out to be the case, the Reds will be faced with the task of replacing a big part of their team. Below, you will find several options who might step in for the longtime third baseman.
You may notice players missing like Mike Costanzo, Travis Mattair, Jason Christian and Chris Valaika. That's because they don't look to be viable options.
Costanzo is 28 years old and has yet to crack the major league roster. Christian is 25 and is in High-A Bakersfield. He's yet to repeat his solid 2009 season and is a 25-year-old backup in High-A ball.
Valaika is a converted shortstop. This is his first season where he will see more time at third than short, therefore it's impossible to evaluate him as a third baseman. Mattair is 23, but hasn't showed much promise in the minors.
With that said, here are the Reds' best options to replace one of the position's all-time greats.

"I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." "And gave him to be head over all things to the church." "Unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen" (Matthew 16:18, Ephesians 1:22, Ephesians 3:21). How can we labor for the well-being of the Church if we do not know what the Church is supposed to be? Since the great purpose of history is the building of Christ's Church, His ruling over all things to that end, and God's glory which is so largely bound up therein, it well-behooves us to be well-rooted and grounded in the Biblical teaching on this most important subject.
How to Be Sure
We live in a day when multitudes have been assured they are saved because they have walked an aisle, said "the sinner's prayer" or signed a decision card; yet they show none of the signs of being born again which are given in God's Word. Christ said, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). Therefore, assurance of regeneration is essential in order to have assurance of salvation. The tract "How to Be Sure" shows the urgent need for this assurance and the biblical basis for it. Biblical guidelines also are given for those who lack it. [go]
Down Life's Path (Poem)
"Down Life's Path" depicts the vanity and consequences of seeking happiness in the things of the world and gives the only solution which is faith in Christ. Not only can this tract be useful for witnessing to unbelievers but also for encouraging believers. It serves as a reminder of the happiness they have in Christ which is often needed in a world filled with sorrow. The poem "Assurance" is included so that people will know what changes to expect in their lives when they have saving faith. [go]
Note: Periodically we offer free copies of our tracts, but when they are not available from us you may make and freely distribute your own. If you are shy or reserved and find it difficult to pass out tracts, please see our tract distribution tips.

Clean nice hotel, large rooms (for Norwegian standards), very comfortable beds
Location is a bit in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing to do outside the hotel. Ok to stay overnight while passing the beautiful Lofoten Island.
Food quality is above average for Norway.
Smallest value for money we encountered in norway so far. Small rooms, expensive, no free wifi. Leknes is not of any interest by itself as a town.
The view out our rorbuer was absolutely breathtaking. The morning after we arrived, we were greeted by a full double rainbow arcing across the sky!! The staff was so helpful - they made special arrangements for our car rental and late check in.
Not a thing - it was perfect!

Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?

Bill Clinton Sings Robin Thicke's Hit Single 'Blurred Lines' (Watch)
Robin Thicke's best success yet. His new single, Blurred Lines has peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. But it may have reached a new level of success with this!
YouTube Channel Baracksdubs - known for remixing songs like Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" and Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" with Barack Obama speeches – decided to change it up a bit, and have some fun with former President Bill Clinton. But Obama does make a quick cameo in Bill Clinton's take on "Blurred Lines," as well as his First Lady and Joe Biden.
At the end of the video, Clinton says: "I couldn't have said it better myself!"
That statement couldn't be further from the truth.
Check out the video below: Do you think Mr. Clinton should start a music career? Leave your thoughts.

Batman From 'The LEGO Movie' is Getting His Own Spinoff
When 'The LEGO Movie' instantly became one of the biggest critical and financial successes of 2014, the sequel announcement was inevitable. However, in a surprising turn of events, 'The LEGO Movie 2' has been delayed in favor of a spin-off staring the film's hilariously twisted take on Batman. Yes, LEGO Batman is getting his own movie.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Gone Girl' and 'Annabelle' Battle It Out
'I Am Legend' Reboot Moving Forward Without Will Smith
Despite being one of the bigger hits of 2007, a sequel to 'I Am Legend' failed to materialize. Blame star Will Smith's unwillingness to do sequels or blame the film's rather definitive ending, which made a follow-up difficult. Seven years later, the franchise that wasn't is being rebooted and, no, Smith will not be involved.
Weekend Box Office Report: Denzel Washington's 'The Equalizer' Triumphs
When you put Denzel Washington in an action movie, you've written your meal ticket for the foreseeable future. Few actors are as consistent as Washington with their opening weekends, even when the project looks like something everyone has seen countless times before.
The unfortunate flip side of that coin is that a strange and risky project like 'The Boxtrolls' opens to only half the gross of 'The Equalizer.'

The latest in Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney's series of truly strange sketches and shorts, the scene is an exacting parody of lousy '90s television that sidesteps all obvious jokes in favor of making fun of a very specific kind of TV show.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Maze Runner' Outpaces 'A Walk Among the Tombstones'
Young adult movies are big business.
'The Maze Runner' took over the box office this weekend, proving that the audience for films were young people in science fiction dystopias are forced into violent and terrible predicaments extends beyond the 'Hunger Games' franchise.
TNT Secures TV Rights to 'Avengers 2′ and Four Future Marvel Movies
If you thought studios securing release dates years in advance for movies that don't even have titles yet was crazy, you haven't seen anything yet. Now, television networks are now buying the rights to air those untitled movies years before they're even released in theaters. Specifically, TNT has signed on the dotted line with Marvel Studios to air the next five Marvel movies, which includes 'Avengers 2,' 'Captain America 3,' 'Ant-Man' and, um, two others.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'No Good Deed' Dethrones 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
After a month at the top, 'Guardians of the Galaxy' has finally fallen from the number one spot on the box office charts. All it took was a modestly budgeted thriller starring Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson.
But 'No Good Deed' didn't just push Marvel off its throne -- it exceeded all expectations and looks like it may be the rare September release to actually be a hit.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Reigns Again
There actually was a new film released this week. It's called 'The Identical' and it's a Christian-themed fable about what would have happened if Elvis Presley's stillborn twin brother had survived. Well, for reasons that should be obvious after reading that sentence, 'Guardians of the Galaxy' held onto the number one spot this weekend while 'The Identical' opened outside of the top 10, never to be heard from again.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Rules
A few weeks ago, this column was skeptical that Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' could reach $300 million. Now, it seems impossible that it won't. Thanks to ecstatic word of mouth, killer marketing and only one genuinely successful box office challenger (that would be 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'), Marvel's oddball space opera has managed to spend three of the past four weekends at the number one spot at the box office, giving it enough momentum to officially become the highest grossing film of 2014.
2014 Emmys: Weird Al Yankovic Provides Lyrics For Your Favorite TV Themes
The 2014 Emmy Awards skewed a little hipper this year, with host Seth Meyers and his army of comedically inclined friends providing more laughs than your average stodgy awards show. However, the ceremony went full internet-friendly when Weird Al Yankovic, hot off the first number one album of his lengthy career, took to the stage to provide your favorite TV shows with the one thing they so desperately need: lyrics.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Reigns Supreme
You can tell the summer movie season is coming to an end because the weekend box office has stopped being exciting and has starting becoming sad and weird. The past two weeks have seen several major movies bomb, but nothing could have prepared us for 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.'

Spokane Police are investigating a tenth armed robbery in the city, this time a Baskin and Robbins store on North Monroe Tuesday afternoon.
The robbery happened at 2:30 Tuesday at 1925 North Monroe Street. Police say a white man entered the store with a handgun, demanded cash, and then exited the store heading north.
Detectives canvassed the area and are looking through surveillance video. The building even has signs on the front and back telling people they are on camera but that didn't stop the suspect.
Detectives working this string of armed robberies will now try and determine if this one is related to the other nine over the past month.
"I think until we get a good look at the video and the detectives working the case that are familiar with the other cases, that we could connect this too, if it's related, have a chance to look at that. It's just a little too early for me to provide accurate information on that," Spokane Police Captain Brad Arleth said.
So far the only description of the suspect the police have of the suspect is that he is a white male approximately 30 years old. In the robbery that happened Monday afternoon at Deb's Espresso, located at 921 E. Houston, the suspect in that incident also displayed a handgun and was also described as a white male in his late 20s.
Other recent robberies include three Subway restaurants, the Yoke's grocery store off Indian Trail, Mug Shots Espresso and Jitterz Java was hit three times, prompting baristas there to start carrying guns.
If you have any information on this or other recent armed robberies in the city you're asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233.

Four NCAA Div. III championships
No. 1-ranked 'Cats clobber No. 7 Coe
PELLA (IOWA)-Top-ranked Linfield College (Ore.) continued its systematic demolition of the NCAA Division III Pella Regional, thumping Coe College 10-0 in five innings in a winners bracket game Sunday at Kuyper Athletics Complex.
The Wildcats (44-2) won for the 33rd consecutive time and moved into the driver's seat of the eight-team double-elimination tournament hosted by Central College.
Coe (38-9), ranked seventh in the most recent NFCA Top 25 poll, lost for the first time in the tournament and now must fight its way through the losers bracket with hopes of meeting Linfield again on Monday.
The Wildcats, 3-0 in the regional tournament, have outscored opponents 37-0.
Two teams remain alive – Coe and host Central – and those two will meet in an elimination game early Monday. The winner must beat the Wildcats twice consecutively to claim the regional championship. Linfield plays at noon, needing only one win to claim its fourth regional title in program history.
Coe's all-star pitcher, Ashlee Simon, lasted only two innings against the Linfield bats. She surrendered eight hits, three walks and eight earned runs without recording a single strikeout. Simon, one of the hottest pitchers in the nation this spring, fell to 27-3.
Wildcats All-American Staci Doucette went 2-for-2 with a home run and four RBI, Emilee Lepp was 2-for-3, and Karleigh Prestianni blasted her 10th home run of the season as the Wildcats piled up a dozen hits.
Claire Velaski pitched her third victory of the tournament, striking out three Kohawks and scattering three hits over four innings. Freshman pitcher Karine Paavola came in to wrap up the victory in the fifth, fanning two of the three batters she faced.
Linfield plated four runs in both the first and second innings.

Theorems in automated theorem proving are usually proved by formal logical proofs. However, there is a subset of problems which humans can prove by the use of geometric operations on diagrams, so called diagrammatic proofs. This book investigates and describes how such diagrammatic reasoning about mathematical theorems can be automated.
Concrete, rather than general diagrams are used to prove particular instances of a universal statement. The "inference steps" of a diagrammatic proof are formulated in terms of geometric operations on the diagram. A general schematic proof of the universal statement is induced from these proof instances by means of the constructive omega-rule. Schematic proofs are represented as recursive programs which, given a particular diagram, return the proof for that diagram. It is necessary to reason about this recursive program to show that it outputs a correct proof. One method of confirming that the abstraction of the schematic proof from the proof instances is sound is proving the correctness of schematic proofs in the meta-theory of diagrams. The book presents an investigation of these ideas and their implementation in the system, called Diamond.
This book started as my doctoral dissertation (Jamnik 1999) under the supervision of Alan Bundy and Ian Green at the University of Edinburgh, in what was then known as the Department of Artificial Intelligence, and had by the end of my PhD studies become the Division of Informatics.
This book is written for a mathematically minded audience. The intention is to present an exploration into the subset of the world of mathematics which can be solved with the use of pictures. Some familiarity with logic is required to understand the entire contents of the book. However, readers with little or no knowledge of logic should be able to safely omit parts of three particularly technical chapters: most of Chapter 8 and Appendix B, and parts of Chapter 4. Chapter 8 and Appendix B, in particular, are not essential to understand the general line of argument taken in the book. The specialist audience that the book is intended to attract is the automated reasoning community. The general audience that it is intended to attract is a community of scientists in artificial intelligence, computer scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, psychologists, cognitive scientists, teachers of mathematics and anybody interested in mathematical recreations.
I have attempted to make this book self-contained, and have included a comprehensive survey of other related work (see Chapter 2). In order to explain any possibly unfamiliar or unconventional use of terminology, I have included a Glossary of such terms at the end of the book.
Parts of the work described in this book have appeared in press in the past, in particular in (Jamnik et al. 1999), (Jamnik et al. 1998), (Jamnik et al. 1997b) and (Jamnik et al. 1997a).

Foreword by Prof. Alan Robinson
The advent of the modern computer in the nineteen-fifties immediately suggested a new research challenge: to seek ways of programming these versatile machines which would make them behave as much like intelligent human beings as possible. After fifty years or so, this quest has produced some intriguing results, but until now progress has been disappointingly slow. This book is a welcome and encouraging sign that things may at last be about to change.
To be sure, what might be called the purely logical approach has recently produced some noteworthy successes. Consider the following two examples:
On October 10, 1996, a rigorous proof of the Robbins Conjecture was found by William McCune's theorem proving program EQP at the Argonne National Laboratory. This problem had been unsolved since the mid-nineteen-thirties.
On May 11, 1997, the (then) world chess champion Garry Kasparov lost a six game match against the computer program Deep Blue with a score of 2.5 to 3.5: two wins for Deep Blue, one win for Kasparov and three draws.
Both these programs, however, use quite non-human methods. Neither of them is at all based on how the mind of the human expert actually works. It is in fact very difficult to find out what the natural intellectual processes of expert humans really are. To program a computer to solve the kind of problems that such experts can solve, the purely logical approach has hitherto been found more effective than the heuristic approach: to invent systematic algorithms for solving the problems rather than trying to discover, and then to imitate, the relevant human skills. Not that the heuristic approach has been ignored. On the contrary, heuristic problem-solving and the programming of ``expert system'' have been prominent computational methodologies in Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research from the beginning. But in mathematical theorem proving, at least, the purely logical approach has far outpaced the heuristic approach.
The fact is that the latter has been severely hampered by a shortage of insights into mathematical cognition and ratiocination. Professor Alan Bundy's group at the University of Edinburgh has for some time now been patiently and insightfully seeking to remedy this shortage. Mateja Jamnik developed the ideas described in this book as a member of Bundy's group, and the book beautifully illustrates what the group has been doing.
What is novel about Mateja Jamnik's work is that she has found an explanation of at least part of the mystery of how humans are able to ``see'' the truth of certain mathematical propositions merely by contemplating appropriate diagrams and constructions. This ability to ``see'' is one of the really fundamental components of the human mathematical cognitive repertoire. As the late great mathematician G. H. Hardy put it: in the last analysis there is no such thing as ``proof'' - all a mathematician really does is observe what is there. To convince others of what he observes to be the case all he can do is point and say: do you see? Mateja Jamnik's program ``sees'', for example, as we do, that a 5 by 5 array of dots is also a nest of 5 ``ells'' containing respectively 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 dots, and that there is nothing special about this special case. It and we can see that the case of 5 is but one instance of the general pattern whereby, for any n, an n by n array of dots is also a nest of n ``ells'' containing respectively 1, 3, 5, 7, ..., 2n-1 dots. In this way it and we can directly see, as a kind of mathematical sense datum, the truth of the mathematical theorem that the number n2 is the sum of the first n odd numbers. This act of seeing is analyzed in the program as a set of alternative decompositions of a given square array; we can see it either as a row of columns: or as a column of rows, or as a nest of frames, or as a nest of ells, or as an array of subsquares, and so on and on. Each of these perceptions is the same as seeing the truth of a corresponding mathematical theorem.
It is as though the program Deep Blue had been given some of the very same abilities to ``see'' the right chess move as Kasparov - literally to see what he sees when he looks at the board. But we don't know what it is that Kasparov sees.
Impressive though some of its achievements have been (such as that of EQP mentioned above), the purely logical approach to mathematical theorem proving is limited in scope and scientifically unedifying. The present book is an encouraging demonstration that its scope can be much widened, and its explanatory power expanded, by a fearless and patient exploration of the details of actual mathematical cognition. The logical and the heuristic approaches are beginning to come together in a most fruitful way. Mateja Jamnik is among the pioneers of a fresh new approach to an old problem.
I welcome the elegant and surprising insights of this book as ushering in a new generation of discoveries in the understanding of mathematical reasoning.

RUSH: This is Chris in Brooklyn. Welcome, sir. You're on Open Line Friday. Hi.
CALLER: Hey, Rush. How you doing?
RUSH: Very good.
CALLER: I wanted to call and vent a little bit. I lost my brother on 9/11, who was killed in the World Trade Center. He went in to go to work one day and then Muslim terrorists slammed two planes in the building, and we lost him forever. He'd just become a father, and the token phrases that was added to that day was "never forget." I guess some people don't realize "never forget" means forever because over the past 12 years it's been a struggle to try and get past it all when I have a reminder every day and let alone my government seems to forget.
RUSH: Let me ask you a question. Chris, let me ask you a question.
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: Ever since that incident, every time we've had an act of terrorism since then, the media in this country, or administrations in this country, or foreign countries: "It's not Islam. That's not Islamist. Don't start judging." How does that make you feel when you hear that?
CALLER: Boy, I tell you, it's been a struggle.
RUSH: But when you put it in context, "never forget, never forget, never forget."
CALLER: I know. I know.
RUSH: "Oh, there's nothing to see here. That's not terrorism." It's got to be maddening for people like you to hear something like that.
CALLER: It can be, and it's been a struggle but, you know, my brother had just become a father.
RUSH: Hang on just a second. Gotta take a break. Don't go away.
RUSH: This is Chris in Brooklyn. I didn't mean to interrupt you, but the broadcast clock gave me no choice.
CALLER: I understand, sir.
RUSH: You were saying? Please continue.
CALLER: As I was saying, you know, it's infuriating. You know, every time you see these on the news,. I mean, Benghazi, I couldn't believe when I heard Ambassador Rice talking about some movie, I mean, when probably most of the Muslim countries overseas don't even have computers or access, I just couldn't believe it, let alone, I didn't see why Hillary Clinton wasn't out speaking and now after seeing her in front of Congress, it's just infuriating. And you gotta sometimes, you know, sit back and take a deep breath because I do have a nephew, my brother's son to raise and you don't want to get so infuriated you're gonna, you know, start a riot. But I just can't believe every time I turn around I see a president making excuses for these Muslim terrorists, which he just doesn't want to acknowledge, from back in Cairo. You know, after 9/11 is when I really got interested in politics and having to be in the know, because I felt I had to --
RUSH: I can imagine.
CALLER: -- I had to know what was going on. I think the downfall of probably the mainstream media was the loss of Tim Russert. I think he was fantastic. I think he was one of the best I had ever witnessed. But I'm, unfortunately, I guess ill-informed because I watch Fox a lot, although I tried to give a lot other stations a chance, but I just couldn't get any information, let alone any information about Benghazi --
RUSH: Look, you won't get any. There's a cover-up going on. What is really fascinating about Benghazi is they are saying that they're gonna be talking to a lot of people and forcing questions on a lot of people, but in no story can you find any reference to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is being totally shielded. They want her to think, like they wanted her to think in '08, that she's the next Democrat Party nominee. It's finally going to be her turn, and so they're circling the wagons and doing everything they can to protect her, but they're also trying to eliminate from the public consciousness that Benghazi was anything other than an ad hoc protest, pure and simple.
The people in this administration know exactly what they're doing. They know that they've got a very sympathetic and complicit media, and they know that they have a lazy media, and they've got a media that does not want to find Obama responsible for any of this. And so they won't. So people like you, I have some friends who lost sons and other family members 9/11. And they're never going to forget it or be over it, I don't even know if that's the right way to put it. But they're frustrated every day. The thing that happened in England and Christiane Amanpour referred to it as just a onesie or twosie here, these little knock-off terrorists, as Joe Biden calls them.
The mayor of London comes out (impression), "Don't anyone make the mistake of assuming that this is Islam. It's not Muslim, this isn't Muslim terrorism." And then we hear the British troops are told not to wear their uniforms off base. The uniform is too provocative, but there's nothing to be afraid of here. There's nothing really going on. These are just lone wolf operators, not tied to anything. And it has a lot of people bamboozled. They don't understand why the one entity that's supposed to be attuned and protect and defend everybody doesn't see or claims not to see the real threat. So I feel for you. Everybody does. I'm glad you called, Chris. Thanks so much.
