I agree, sub-communities when you have tags are useless, especially because reputation is per site. You can follow CouchDB and PHP, JavaScript, simply adding php, couchdb and javascript tags to your favorites. Having separate communities makes sense, but arguments not. I mean, you can't mixup groceries with programming but I find pointless having android as a separate site, at least on StackOverflow where a programmer can be interested in both Android and CouchDB and he wants earn reputation answering questions related to different arguments. -Filippo On Oct 31, 2013, at 7:15 PM, Florian Westreicher Bakk.techn. wrote: > I was talking about the osqa tool. > > One the topic of couchdb.stackexchange.com sub domain: I develop android for a living and never use the Android SX page, I think they are kind of pointless.

Out of Office Reply is Associate Editor Taylor Paul's column on surf travel, big waves, and other manly bits.
Below this Facebook post there were 20 "Likes" and 15 comments such as, "Aleutian Juice!! On its way Daddy O" and, "The storm is so big they're running out of colors."
So many waves to get excited about! So many exclamation points!!!
While I tend to fault surf forecasting websites for over-hyping swells and contributing to ballooning crowds, Facebook and the big-wave surfers who use it are as much to blame. They post their thoughts, fears, concerns, and clever wordplay for all of their "friends" to see (each of these guys has thousands of friends). It's a hype generator like no other, but it's also entertaining. Here are a few posts from some of the world's best big-wave surfers about the swell that will arrive…now.
Best Comment: Rusty Long "Damn that's some serious business. Haha. Don't go grey."
A lot of people probably are turning a bit grey with this swell. Buoys are reading 32 feet at 21 seconds. The sun is out and the wind is calm. No excuses. Which is why people like Maverick's local Travis Payne wonder…
Best Comments: "You need the sac or the actual balls?" (To which Travis replied, "Whatever [Shawn] Dollar was using last year.")
Travis is heading to Oregon to compete in the Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic, to be held today (Tuesday). Mark Healey is also invited to the contest, but with waves predicted to be firing everywhere, he's had to decide if surfing a contest in potentially out-of-control Oregon is his best option, which is why he says…
Best comment: "But always good, well most of the time good, depends how deep you take off I guess."
Mark always takes off deep, sometimes with brutal consequences. He's a self-aware man, and admits…
Best comment: "Indeed. I'm headed to the Bay. Should be fun. Pat says 40-50 faces. Loving it!!!"
Forty- to 50-foot faces is no exaggeration, and could easily go bigger. Despite his claim to not be answering anymore phone calls until after the swell, I pestered Greg Long enough to get him on the phone during his drive north from San Clemente. North where? "We're heading to [cell static] for the day Tuesday," Greg said. "And between you and me, we're going to [damn iPhone!] on Wednesday. This could very well be the swell of the decade."
He'll tell 4,000 people that the swell is coming, but just a handful where he'll be when it hits. Technology be damned – secrets still exist. —Taylor Paul
Lucky for us, Taylor isn't so elusive. He'll be at Maverick's, and will report back with the goods on Thursday.

While turkey does contain an amino acid called tryptophan which plays a role in the sleep-inducing process, the amount in turkey is not enough to create this effect. If you feel sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner it's more likely to be from eating such a large meal high in carbs and fat, which sends blood rushing to your digestive tract, away from the brain (where it keeps you alert).
Although some people fear that exercising before a dinner or a party will lead them to eat more, research actually shows the opposite is true. Moderate exercise before a big dinner or party will actually boost your metabolism and can even slightly suppress your appetite.
While it's true that some favorite holiday foods can trigger indigestion (because they're high in fat), other factors such as the environment in which you ate can also play a role. Holiday stress, eating too quickly, or nervousness can also lead to indigestion.
While it is important to be mindful of our eating during the holidays, there is no need to stress out too much about it. Most people think they gain close to 10lbs. between Thanksgiving and New Year's, but one study showed that the average weight gain was only around a pound.
Many people skip meals and snacks leading up to holiday events in an effort to "save" calories for the party or dinner. The problem with this is that by the time they are presented with food at the party or dinner, they are so hungry that they end up overeating. So a better strategy is to eat balanced meals and snacks as you normally would and then enjoy a reasonable portion of food at the party or dinner.
So know that you know your healthy holiday facts, you can enjoy the season the smart way!

4 Things You Can Actually Bet On: Super Bowl Edition
Only fools still bet on the actual Super Bowl. The REAL money is on stupid bets, called prop bets, which let you bet on the nonsense that surrounds the game. Here are four actual bets you can make on various online sports books . . .
#1.) Will Beyoncé show cleavage during her first song? BEYONCÉ is doing the halftime show. And yes, she WILL show cleavage is the overwhelming favorite, at -500 . . . meaning you bet $500 to win $100. No is set at +300, so bet $100 to win $300.
#2.) Will both coaches wear hats? If you haven't heard ESPN mention it 75,000 times, the Super Bowl coaches are brothers. So will they dress alike? The odds they both wear hats are -1,000. Odds against are +600.
#3.) How long will the National Anthem last? ALICIA KEYS is singing the National Anthem. The over-under time is set at two minutes and five seconds. The odds on both the over and under are -115.
#4.) What color Gatorade will be dumped on the winning coach? There are different long odds on everything from +150 on water . . . +150 on yellow . . . +250 on orange . . . +500 on red . . . +550 on lime green . . . and +1,000 on blue.

The design of the 1973 Christmas stamps by Dolli Tingle, which features a whimsical old-fashioned Christmas tree, was the first U.S. stamp ever designed in needlepoint. (The 1964 Homemaker's commemorative stamp was designed by Norman Todhunter to simulate the needlework of an early American sampler, but the design was not actually executed in needlepoint.)
The second Christmas stamp was adapted from a Madonna and child painted by Raphael, a major Italian artist of the Renaissance. The painting hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington. The Madonna stamp was designed by Bradbury Thompson.
The two 8-cent stamps were issued on November 7 at Washington, D.C., with ceremonies at the National Gallery of Art. It is Postal Service policy to issue two stamps each year so that holiday mailers may have a choice.
The vertical, commemorative-size stamps will be printed on the Andreotti gravure press in six colours. Yellow, light brown, red, blue, black and green inks will reproduce the Raphael art. Light brown, yellow, gold, red, blue and black inks will print the needlepoint Christmas tree. Each stamp will have six plate numbers.
"U.S. 8c" in black, appears at the top of the needlepoint stamp, with "Christmas", in red at the bottom. "Christmas" in green, appears at the top of the Madonna and Child stamp. At the bottom, in black, is "Raphael, National Gallery of Art, U.S." "8c" is in green.
Artists usually paint stamp designs – but not always. The Science commemorative stamp of 1963 was a wood engraving by Antonio Frasconi. So was Walter Brooks' San Juan stamp of 1971. Last year's Olympic designs were collages by Lance Wyman.
Now Dolli Tingle turned out a design in needlepoint. This took her about ten days. The daughter of an artist, she is also married to one Ward Brackett, who designed the Girl Scout, Law and Order and Suffrage stamps. She studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.
Raphael's painting "The Small Cowper Madonna" bears this title because its first recorded owner was Lord Cowper, British Ambassador to the Court of Tuscany. Cowper owned a larger Raphael Madonna also, hence the "small" in the title.
He bought it in 1780. Raphael painted it, in Florence, about 1505, when the artist was in his early 20s. It is on wood and measures 23 ins. in height and 17 ins. in width. Art critics see evidences of the influence of both Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci in the painting, with their styles subtly merged by Raphael.

An christmas songs for to harken by!
I've done some research and, according to my calculations, it appears christmas is upon us. Shit, get the napkins out!
Now, can I be candid for a second? Christmas used to mean a lot of things to my wife and I. We used to play on Jesus' team full-time. Nowadays we mostly just root for him, so Christmas means things different than the things it used to mean.
Christmas is about the cold in my lungs, scraping light ice off the windshield, excuses to visit Mellisa's family in the frozen north, 18 of us rolled into a comfy mobile home in the quiet snow of rural northern BC, my mom's toffee (and my wife's alterations of it), a knit sweater and strong cocktails with friends, trying to make a good hot apple cider and giving up, opting instead for another vodka…
Christmas comes on the front 2/3rds of winter, which invariably means I've started gaining weight and I'm feeling a little unsure about my career, skills and life-direction. Regardless, those three to four weeks leading up to christmas are great. I get these pangs of "oh yea, that's coming up and we'll be in Canada or San Francisco searching for honest connection with family and oh shit I need to get great gifts for people!"
I'm not sure if your weeks leading up to Christmas are going great; I hope you're having a blast, laughing in the face of your plans and projections and remembering that the worst case scenario is that the bank takes your home and you get better at making forts with someone you love. I hope you remember that.
So, in the spirit of it all I wanted to show you something I made. It's music. My wife (who's a lovely singer and pianist) made these songs with me. It's a collection of 5 songs we put together for Christmas 5 years ago. I still like them!
The songs
O' Holy Night: Remember that one Imogen Heap song with the vocoder that blew all our minds? That's what we were going for here. There's a couple great parts, though the recording's a little flat. I never know how to end a song.
Questions of the Older Brother: I listened to a lot of Sufjan Stevens during this time of my life. Yes, that's tupperware and pans you're hearing.
Snow Day: This is a little instrumental number I put together. Acoustic guitar. I can't play shit like this without pretending I was in Crosby, Stills & Nash or America.
Waltons: I met my wife in Ireland. She didn't have a piano there, so she'd go to a music store whenever she could. She wrote this song at the music store. The store was called Walton's.
What Have You Done With Me?: I always liked this song. Wrote it in Ireland. It's a weird song for me, unlike other stuff I've written. Again with the not knowing how to end a song.
Bonus song: Lil' Drummer Boy: This wasn't on the original album, but it's something we put together with a cute young man called CJ Eckman. It's hilarious. And good.
Ok, there's only one "Christmas song" in the bunch. This is our Christmas album regardless. I'm sure you could do with a little less bing crosby in your life right about now anyways. Hope your next couple of weeks get a little magic.

Inside Lacrosse's Google Hangout Unit Talk series continued with Ohio State's starting attack on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Scroll down for the archived chat, in case you missed it. (Apologies for last week's failed Hangout with these guys; 100% Inside Lacrosse's fault.)
Tewaaraton Trophy nominee Logan Schuss, freshman Carter Brown and sophomore Turner Evans joined us for a live video chat from Columbus, Ohio as the No. 3-seed Buckeyes prepare for their NCAA Quarterfinal home game against Cornell, Saturday at 12:30 p.m., live from College Park, Md., on ESPN2. The Buckeyes come off a 16-6 drubbing of Towson on Sunday in the NCAA Tournament first round.
The Buckeyes (12-3) shot up the charts in the regular season's final weekend with their ECAC Tournament championship that included wins over Loyola and Denver. A big reason for their title was the starting attack trio, which accounted for 16 goals in the two games. They ended the regular season with 132 points, led by Schuss' 40-goal, 23-assist senior campaign. The unit put up seven goals and four assists, again led by Schuss (3G, 3A), against the Tigers in the first round.
This unit came together as the starting attack midway through the year and hails from three totally different backgrounds: Schuss from British Columbia, Evans from Ontario and Brown from suburban Baltimore. We'll talk about their chemistry together, OSU's late-season surge and what's next in the NCAA Tournament for a squad that went from bubble team to No. 3 seed virtually overnight.

Now here - in a nutshell - is exactly why Windows Mobile has so much catching up to do...
Despite having a decent spec list there was typically bad news regarding Pocket Internet Explorer 6 today with the announcement that all existing WM handset owners will not be able to upgrade to the browser unless they cough up for a new handset.
Yep, that was the laughable news out of Redmond HQ this week after the Windows Mobile Team Blog confirmed it has taken the decision not to make '6 on 6' (as it is also now somewhat ironically dubbed) available for separate download. For any poor, neglected WM owners still paying attention (despite the undoubted ribbing and screams of laugher from your Symbian, Android and iPhone owning colleagues) here's the official reason why:
*Drum roll*
"Regarding making IE Mobile available as a separate download or update, the rich media experiences that IE Mobile 6 enables require more powerful, advanced devices. That is why it will not be available as an upgrade or direct download for current phones, but rather will be made available on new phones."
Ok, that just made the mocking laughter worse didn't it? I mean, really - couldn't Microsoft perhaps have just published it with a minimum spec guide? Oh and I'm sure new Touch HD, Xperia X1 and Touch Pro and Diamond owners will be thrilled to hear how incapable their handsets apparently are.
All I can say is: Haven't Windows Mobile users suffered enough?
Still, never fear - there's a solution at hand and it's not complicated and no hacking skills will be required. It's a one word solution too...

Serena rocks Roland Garros with 'cheat' claim
Serena Williams during her match against Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez of Spain.
Photo: Reuters
Ten-time Grand Slam title winner Serena Williams angrily denounced her Roland Garros opponent as a 'cheat' on Saturday as two of the world's top 10 crashed to shock French Open defeats.
Williams, the 2002 champion, defeated Spain's Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the last 16 but fourth seeded Russian Elena Dementieva and Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, the world number 10, were third round casualties.
Second seed Williams's win was overshadowed by an incident in the first set when Martinez Sanchez broke to lead 3-2, although the crucial point-winning shot appeared to rebound off her arm.
"The ball did touch her 100 percent on her arm. The rules of tennis are when the ball hits your body, then it's out of play," said Williams.
"You lose a point automatically. So the ball hit her body, and therefore, she should have lost the point instead of cheating."
However, Martinez Sanchez insisted she was innocent.
"I put the racquet up. The ball was in and it was a point for me. It didn't hit me or my body," said the 26-year-old.
"To say I'm a 'cheat' is stupid. I'm not going to comment on it."
Alexsandra Wozniak, the first Canadian woman to make the fourth round, now awaits Williams who is attempting to win a second French Open and ensure all four Grand Slam titles are currently in the Williams family.
Dementieva, the 2004 runner-up, slumped to a 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 defeat to Australia's Samantha Stosur who reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam for only the second time in her career, and the first time on the testing clay courts of the French capital.
Stosur will now tackle France's Virginie Razzano, who put out Italian veteran Tathiana Garbin 7-5, 7-5, where a victory would make her the first Australian woman to make the quarter-finals since Jelena Dokic in 2002.
"I am far away from being in good shape," admitted the 27-year-old Dementieva.
"She was very solid and there wasn't enough power from me so I will have to work on my physical conditioning in time for Wimbledon."
Stosur proved the fittest of the two in the deciding set, taking a 4-0 lead before wrapping up the match with a power-packed, crosscourt winner as Dementieva joined third seed Venus Williams as a major third round casualty.
"I came out playing well. I wasn't too nervous and I tried the handle the wind as best as I could," said Stosur.
"Even though I lost the second set, I knew I had to keep plugging away in the third."
Fifth seeded Serbian Jelena Jankovic, a semi-finalist in the last two years, brushed aside Australia's world number 73 Jarmila Groth 6-1, 6-1.
Jankovic, who has dropped just 10 games in three rounds, will face Romania's Sorana Cirstea for a place in the quarter-finals.
Cirstea, the world number 41, recorded her best Grand Slam performance by knocking out 10th seed Wozniacki 7-6 (7/3), 7-5.
Svetlana Kuznetsova, the Russian seventh seed, continued her low-profile progress with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Hungary's Melinda Czink.
Kuznetsova, a former US Open champion and who was runner-up here in 2006, has lost just 11 games on her way to the last 16 for a sixth successive year.
The 23-year-old will face Polish 12th seed Agnieszka Radwanska who put out unseeded Ukrainian Kateryna Bondarenko 6-2, 6-4 for a place in the quarter-finals.
"Radwanska moves well. She reads the game well. It's her strength. As far as weaknesses are concerned, I will keep to myself," said Kuznetsova.
Belarussian ninth seed Victoria Azarenka set up a last 16 clash against defending champion Ana Ivanovic after she beat Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 in a tie held which was suspended Friday because of bad light.

Fox Suggests Obama's Overseas Trips Are Ploy To Help Poll Numbers
Fox News host Martha MacCallum and contributor Byron York suggested that the President Obama may have scheduled his current trips to Europe and Africa to help his poll numbers even though both trips were scheduled as early as November 2012.
Obama is currently in Northern Ireland attending a G8 summit [1] before embarking on a tour of Africa [2] -- an effort to strengthen economic ties to the continent. On the June 18 edition of America's Newsroom, MacCallum and York were discussing the president's current [3] job approval rating when MacCallum wondered aloud whether Obama was trying to "get overseas and do some traveling and draw the attention somewhere else" in an attempt to "turn the tide." York responded, "Well, he's trying that."
Both the G8 summit and the Africa trip were being planned as early as November 2012, according to the BBC [4] and Politico [5] respectively. At that time, President Obama had just won re-election and had a job approval rating of over fifty percent [3].

Yup, and its even worse when I decide to say screw it and stay up until 1:30 in the morning to watch the game, then have to wake up at 8:00 the next morning for an 8:30 class.
Not fun.
The only thing about being an Avs fan that I don't enjoy, would be so much easier to be a fan of an East Coast team and have every game done by 11:30 every night.
But, I will never change from the Avs, a few late nights can be managed.

Panicky bikini babe Helen Flanagan's camp popularity sank to a new low tonight after she lost her fourth trial.
She has won NO MEALS of a possible 40 for her fellow I'm A Celebrity contestants who are turning against her.
As usual, the former Corrie star set off for the Come Dive With Me challenge in high spirits, saying she felt confident that she'd be able to deliver meals back to the hungry campers.
And as usual, she couldn't have been more wrong.
"I'm quite good with water, that's my strong point," she declared to her trial sidekick Charlie Brooks, who admitted to feeling nervous about the task ahead.
One they arrived at the trial, hosts Ant and Dec explained the rules.
They clearly said that the stars needed to be collected from several domes hidden around the underwater dining table, stressing that they needed to be gathered by using MOUTHS rather than hands.
Each woman was given five minutes to try and collect their stars and Charlie took the plunge first.
Inside the domes were creatures including yabbies, water spiders, eels, water monitor lizards and crocodiles.
Charlie got off to a good start and retrieved two stars in the first dome.
But she screamed after meeting two small crocodiles in the second one and managed to grab one before confessing she felt panicky and was struggling to get her breath.
Despite an attempt to swim on to the next stage, she had to return to the surface having won three dinners for camp.
Helen went into the first dome and grabbed the two stars with her hands.
Despite being repeatedly told by Ant and Dec that she must use her mouth, she went in to the second dome and repeated the process.
Having failed to make it to the fireplace – where she would have been allowed to use her hands – she returned to the surface to learn that none of her four stars counted.
Ant and Dec explained: "I'm afraid in the rules it said you have to take them off with your teeth, mouth and you used your hands in both domes.
"I'm afraid they don't count. We were trying to tell you."
A disappointed Helen sighed: "I think it's because I panic so much, I forgot using my mouth."
Afterwards Charlie admitted that she felt Helen was a drama queen. "I think sometimes, and I know that's you and I'm different and we are two completely different girls, I do sometimes think it's a little bit drama. That's not necessarily a bad thing."
Helen confessed: "I wish I could be more like you. I wish I could more like, not dramatic, but I can't help it."
Away from Helen, Charlie moaned: "Just the silliness of it all. Just frustrates me. It's like 'you really need to get a grip sometimes.'"
In the Bush Telegraph she added: "When you feel you have to walk on egg shells because you might say something that's going to make somebody cry, it becomes a little bit intolerable to live with all the time. I find myself losing my patience."
The rest of the camp were gutted to hear they had just three meals to share between 12 people.
Helen insisted: " I felt like such a loser when I came out. Guys, I feel sensitive and emotional at the moment so if I get a bit weird then I'm sorry."
Hugo said later: "She's won zero. I could see Eric was furious.
"I could see it in his face to lose three meals on a technicality... one thing everyone can do is listen."
Ashley said: "Today I felt like if I was there I probably would have excelled at it."
Eric blasted: "Glad I wasn't with her. It's hard work, isn't it? She's useless."
There was also tension between Brian Conley and David Haye after the boxer sparked a row when he flicked two burning logs on to the forest floor.
A furious Conley ended up in tears before he was comforted by Colin Baker.
An apologetic Haye said: "So maybe I've got to be a bit more sensitive, a bit more careful about what I say around him And then try to pick up his spirit somehow and not do anything that unsettles him and upsets him."
*** Unsurprisingly, Helen has just been voted for ANOTHER Bushtucker Trial and will face the task alone tomorrow night. Fourth time lucky?

In my travels along the social commerce road so far in South Africa, I've often been told that SEO plays no role in bringing in traffic to to group buying site.
There are generally two kinds of sites, when you look at traffic: those where you want to rank well on SERPs to get the traffic in, and those where you pay through your nose on Google or Facebook to bring visitors. Unless, of course, your website has such an attractive deal on it, you might say.
Group buying has traditionally taken the latter stance – pay for a massive PPC campaign and forget the SEO. In Groupon's case, get popular enough to make Google want to buy you. After all, one can't rank for every search term out there.
But actually, SEO is quite important for any website. It may mean those extra 50 subscribers per day, or getting noticed in the right place. Here's what the experts seem to think:
Neil Pursey, CEO of Webgrowth, an SEO consultancy in South Africa, points out: "Updated group buying sites are constantly churning out fresh and original content. Google will notice this, so over time if the group buying website is optimised correctly it can start appearing for searches like 'restaurant specials' or 'accommodation specials'."
"Group buying sites should be (if not already) be using this benefit as one of their sales tools. Group buying sites can play a large role in helping advertisers SEO their own sites."
SEO that you can't control also matters – Google tends to give preference to news, customer references (good and bad) and posts with many comments. Your own brand therefore can see-saw based on who is saying what out there. Just type in group buying south africa into Google, and see what people are saying about your favourite site right now on various blogs.
It's foolish to ignore SEO and group buying sites need to understand that.
Pingback: 3 reasons why SEO does mean something to group buying – Memeburn | Complete Seo Tips()
SEO is indeed very important for group buying players. We have exactly a real world example with Malaysia based group buying sites:
For a while, Groupsmore Malaysia, now part of Groupon, was ranked 1st on our Alexa ranking list at http://dealshelve.com/malaysia/sites/.
Just early this week, MyDeal.com.my took over their place. We found out when searching for "daily deals malaysia", MyDeal.com.my came up in the first page, first result. Groupsmore? I can't see them not even in 5th page where I gave up. Searching for businesses related to the deals also put MyDeal.com.my on the first page. They are certainly a good example worth checking out.
Pingback: Research Thread 31 May 2011 | Classifieds Blog()
Group buy sites should consider SEO just like any other site that seeks to raise its profile.
If I told you how much natural search http://groupbuy.com gets, you'd be very surprised. Without doing anything, we place in the top 5 positions in most search engines for the term 'group buy'. We are in pre-registration now, but when we launch we expect to be number one for that are other related terms.
SEO is defiantly important, no matter who you are. Your business can grow its conversion rate simply through SEO, it doesn't matter if you are group buying. Unless you feel like paying huge amounts, why not use that instead for lasting SEO.
People tend to underestimate the power of seo and use their marketing money to normal campaings like advertising on a newspaper or a tv.

Sure, the T-Mobile G1 is pretty nifty with its slide-out screen and QWERTY keypad but if Android is going to compete with Apple's iPhone OS it's going to have to step up the game just a little bit. Going by the Android Open Source Project roadmap, it looks like that's the plan with a particularly interesting development scheduled for Q1, set to provide touch screen keyboard inputs on Android.
Specifically, the development relates to the implementation of an Input Method Framework and Input Method Engines. The former will provide a framework enabling support for soft solutions created using the latter, which can then interact with the rest of the OS. Those applications can then be made available via the Android Market.
Hopefully that doesn't mean Google won't be providing its own system-wide touch-screen keyboard interface, instead providing only the backbone. As likely as it is that the development community will come up with some great offerings, we'd rather see Google do it for us all!
Watch out iPhone, the robot revolution is coming.

WSVN Channel 7 News reported that Rick Ross' car crash on Las Olas Boulevard in Ft. Lauderdale may have been staged.
As stated earlier, Ross crashed his Rolls Royce into an apartment in an attempt to avoid 20 rounds of bullets that were fired at his car that included his girlfriend, Shanteria L. Moragne-el.
The incident occurred early Monday morning and received local coverage once neighbors began calling 911 and reported it.
However, in light of the attempted murder, reporter Kevin Ozebek—along with the Twittersphere and nemesis, 50 Cent–reported that the drive-by shooting may have been the result of a publicity stunt for Ross' upcoming album, Mastermind.
Ozebek said the incident is currently under investigation by Ft. Lauderdale's police department, and they're encouraging the public to come forward with any information on the incident.

My husband and I, along with my daughter and her husband purchased our cottage 5 years ago. Our choice was based on location (mere steps from the bay/ocean and near Portland) and the great views from the cottage. We especially enjoy Netarts for it's beautiful bay and quaint, quiet community. We originally spent many hours painting, furnishing and decorating to make our place inviting and comfortable and we continue to make improvement and repairs as needed.

Fire fighters from several towns battled a boat shop fire at Clark Island Boatworks in St. George Wednesday night.
Crews were called to the business around 8 p.m. Wednesday.
We're told the owner's son lives on the property and heard the sounds of popping.
Two boats were inside the shop at the time. They were destroyed.
Fire fighters say all of the fiberglass and resin made it difficult to battle the flames and they were unable to save the shop.
They cleared around 3 a.m. Thursday.
The Fire Marshal's office has been called in to try and figure out a cause.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder that causes above-normal levels of hyperactive and disruptive behaviors. ADHD is often characterized by impulsive or hyperactive behavior. People with ADHD may have difficulties focusing their attention on a single task. They may also have a hard time sitting still for long periods of time.
For children, ADHD is generally associated with problems at school. Children with ADHD often have difficulty succeeding in a controlled classroom setting. Assignments can become difficult obstacles, instead of productive learning experiences. One in 10 children between ages 5 to 17 is diagnosed with ADHD, making this one of the most common childhood disorders in the United States.
Boys are more likely to have a diagnosis of ADHD than girls because they tend to exhibit hallmark symptoms of hyperactivity. Boys are two to three times more likely than girls to have an ADHD diagnosis. Although the majority of these children will retain symptoms into adulthood, many get better over time.
Despite this high prevalence, doctors and researchers still aren't sure what causes the condition. Recent studies suggest that ADHD could be linked to dopamine dysfunction. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control movements and emotions.
What are the symptoms of ADHD?
People with ADHD may:
- have difficulty focusing or concentrating on tasks
- be forgetful about completing tasks
- be easily distracted by environmental sounds
- have difficulty sitting still
- interrupt people while they're talking
Although some girls with ADHD may have the classic symptoms of hyperactivity, many don't. Girls with ADHD may:
- daydream frequently
- have anxiety
- have depression
- be hyper-talkative rather than hyperactive
- be overemotional
Adult ADHD symptoms can be somewhat different than those experienced by children. For example, adults with ADHD are unlikely to run and jump around. Generally, ADHD has a less severe profile in adults than in children, but there is still some debate about accurately diagnosing adult ADHD.
What are the causes of ADHD?
Researchers are still working to determine what causes ADHD. It's believed to have neurological origins rather than environmental causes. Genetics may also play a role in whether a person has ADHD.
In the past, people thought that problems with a chemical balance in the brain may be the cause. People also thought it occurred due to a malfunction of the neurotransmitters that help regulate impulses and behavior.
What is the role of dopamine?
Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that helps to take signals from one nerve to the other. It plays a role in triggering emotional responses and movements. People have different kinds of dopamine receptors. These different receptors determine how you react to rewards or taking risks.
Recent research suggests that a reduction in dopamine is a factor in ADHD. One study found that the dopamine reward pathways of those with ADHD had fewer dopamine synaptic markers than those of people without ADHD. This contrasts with previous research, which suggested that dopamine acts inconsistently and unexpectedly in people with ADHD.
Other research suggests a structural difference in the brain. Findings indicate that people with ADHD have less gray matter volume. Gray matter includes the brain areas that help with:
- speech
- self-control
- decision making
- muscle control
How is ADHD diagnosed?
If you suspect that you or your child has ADHD, ask a school or qualified caregiver for an evaluation. Schools regularly assess children for disabilities that may be affecting a child's educational performance.
You can also schedule an appointment with your child's pediatrician and provide the doctor with notes and observations about your child's behavior. If they suspect your child has ADHD, they may refer them to an ADHD specialist. Depending on the diagnosis, it may also be necessary to go to a psychiatrist or neurologist.
Types of ADHD
There is a wide range of behaviors that are symptomatic of ADHD. To make it easier to diagnose and treat, they have been grouped by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders into three categories: inattentive behavior, above-normal activity level (hyperactivity), and lack of impulse control.
Predominantly Inattentive
This is a form of ADHD that used to be known as strong attention deficit disorder, or ADD. As the name suggests, people with this type of ADHD have extreme difficulty focusing, finishing tasks, and following instructions. Experts also think that many children with an inattentive form of ADHD may be overlooked because they don't tend to disrupt the classroom. This form is most common among girls with ADHD.
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
People with this type exhibit primarily hyperactive and impulsive behavior such as fidgeting, interrupting, and an inability to wait their turn. Although inattention is less of a concern with this type of ADHD, people with predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD may still find it difficult to focus on tasks.
Combined Hyperactive-Impulsive and Inattentive Type
This is the most common type of ADHD. People with this combined form of ADHD display a significant number of symptoms connected to all three behavioral categories. This includes an inability to pay attention, a tendency towards impulsiveness, and above-normal levels of activity and energy.
How is ADHD treated?
Treatment for ADHD can range from behavioral therapies to using medication.
In educational settings, teachers can map out individual guidelines for a student with ADHD. This may include allowing extra time for assignments and tests or developing a personal reward system. At home and in general, a consistent schedule with structure and regular expectations may benefit a person with ADHD.
Medication, including Ritalin, can be used in addition to other treatments. Medications for ADHD are designed to motivate neurotransmitters in a way that allows you to control impulses and actions.
What is the outlook?
ADHD symptoms may decrease or become less frequent as you age. Adults often find ways to manage ADHD through personal behavior modification. This can help you learn to concentrate when needed. Many people with ADHD learn to use their qualities, such as creativity, to their benefits.
Tips for coping with ADHD
If you have ADHD, you may find support by going to individual therapy or group therapy with people who have similar backgrounds. Your counselor can give you guidelines and suggestions for living with ADHD.
If you're a parent or a spouse of someone with ADHD, you may find it helpful to go to family or behavioral therapy. It's important to set good examples. Focus when you're listening to a person with ADHD. Avoid multitasking and demonstrate how a person pays attention.
Here are some additional tips for coping with ADHD:
- Get organized. Many people who have ADHD find that a schedule or structure of expectations makes their environment feel more nurturing.
- Embrace individuality. Make a list of your good qualities or the good qualities of the person with ADHD. Plan outings and activities that encourage individual expression.
- Learn more about the disorder. Organizations such as Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder or the Attention Deficit Disorder Association provide tips for management, as well as the latest research.

I just found out that the term "slip trailing" is another name to for "tubelining". I think I will stick with the words "slip trailing" to define my tiles. Both are rather funny terms, don't you think. One brings to mind a fashion faux pas, the other a technique to fix holes in a bicycle tube or a kind of German sausage poorly translated into English. My education continues.

Pfizer: Another Bidder for AstraZeneca?
When reports first surfaced that Pfizer (PFE) had been in talks to buy AstraZeneca (AZN) last week, investors responded, well, enthusiastically, as shares of Pfizer gained 2%, while AstraZeneca jumped 8.8%. So with Pfizer saying that it's still interested in a deal, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the two stocks are rising again. The bigger question: Will Pfizer and AstraZeneca be able to agree on terms?
Citigroup's Andrew Baum and team think Pfizer and AstraZeneca will because of a "lack of counter-bidders." They explain:
We anticipate that a revised offer from [Pfizer] at c.£50 with a 40% cash component would secure strong shareholder support. We have previously outlined that we believe [AstraZeneca's] defense options are limited. In our view, Neutral-rated Sanofi (SNY) cannot deliver the financial synergies and lacks a ready established products division (as a prelude to potential spin). We have highlighted potential merger of equals with Amgen (AMGN) and Abbie (ABBV) but both lack the same financial synergies. [Pfizer] is unlikely to raise the cash component >50% as it likely would preclude the ability to perform a tax inversion and materially lower the effective group tax rate. We note proposals under consideration in the US to limit future tax inversions.
Shares of Pfizer have gained 2.9% to $31.65 at 11:54 a.m. today, while AstraZeneca has jumped 13% to $77.67, Sanofi has risen 1.2% to $53.44 and AbbVie has advanced 2.9% to $50.56. Amgen has dropped 0.6% to $110.75.

Fort Hays State University > About FHSU > Academic Divisions > Office of the Provost > Faculty and Unclassified Handbook > Ch 1 Service Approach
The following policy has been developed to address the growing concern over the University's ability to provide access to services by students, faculty, and the local community.
The provision of services by University offices should follow a campus orientation which emphasizes "service." This approach calls for limited use of "user fees" or "charge back" systems for the funding of services.
In addition, it requires that the University and its departments function under the following three tenets:
1. That resources are provided to address growth in demand for increased service;
2. Appropriate controls are instituted to curb abuses by students, faculty, and non-University personnel; and
3. That periodic review of service levels, costs, and resources allocated be conducted every three years to ensure a service unit's ability to keep up with demand.
Approved by Cabinet (03-02-94).

As to that experimental probability...
If you ignore the case where the leading digit is zero and disappears,
the probability is modelled as follows.
Let p[j] denote the probability that the first j digits contain all 10
digits (so obviously p[j]=0 for j<10).
We have
p[10] = Product[j/10, {j,1,9}];
Now p[11] = p[10] + probability that we need exactly 11 digits to get
all 10 possibilities. This means exactly one of the first ten digits
replicates an earlier digit. This arises if the second digit replicates
the first (probability 1/10), or the third replicates the second or
first (probability 2/10), etc. In Mathematica this would be given by
Sum[k[1]/10,{k[1],9}] * p[10]
We need exactly 12 digits if exactly two of the first eleven digits
replicate earlier digits. This is given by
Sum[k[1]/10*k[2]/10, {k[1],9}, {k[2],k[1],9}] * p[10]
In general we have:
productsum[j_Integer] := Module[
{k, vars, prod, iters},
vars = Array[k,j-10];
k[0] = 1;
prod = Apply[Times,vars]/10^(j-10);
iters = Map[{#,#[[0]][#[[1]]-1],9}&,vars];
(I'm sure this is not the cleanest way to code this).
p[j_Integer /; j>10] := p[j-1] + productsum[j]*p[10]
In[59]:= InputForm[p16 = p[16]]
Out[59]//InputForm= 10985907933/156250000000
In[60]:= N[p16]
Out[60]= 0.0703098
This pretty well replicates your experimental result.
By the way, those random decimals are double precision floats, not

Abou Diaby believes his injury problems earlier in the season could actually work in his favour during the run-in to the campaign.
The France international sustained a thigh injury against Chelsea at Emirates Stadium in September and was sidelined for three months.
Up next×
The 26-year-old has since made a successful return to the Arsenal team and feels his extended lay-off will be an advantage.
"I think I will be good in the last two months of the season," Diaby told Arsenal Player. "At the same time, when you come back, it's not easy because you're not fit enough.
"The players and the game reach such a level of physicality that it is difficult to catch. But I think [my spell out is] good for the end of the season."

Do you know anything about a new program called Jott? If so, can you please fill us in?
I sure can! I'm actually really excited that you asked me this, because Jott is a pretty neat program. I haven't known about it for too long, but I always seem to hear people talking about it (and they're saying good things about it, I might add!) Jott is a program that's perfect for anyone who likes to make lists to help them remember certain things they need to get done or someone who just needs a little reminder now and then. If you like to stay organized as much as possible, Jott will also be good for you. Okay, so let's check it out, shall we?!
Basically, Jott is a service that is able to convert your voice messages into either an e-mail or a text message. All you have to do is call a special phone number, leave yourself a voice message and then Jott will take over. But let's take care of first things first. You will need to become a Jott member in order to use their services. To do so, just visit this Web site [1] and then click on the button that says "Start Jotting Now." You just have to type in your first and last name, your e-mail address and a password of your choice. Checkmark the box next to "I have read and agree to the Terms of Service" and then hit Continue. You will then be sent a confirmation e-mail to confirm your address. You will need to click on the link in that e-mail in order to finish your registration. (Note: If you don't see the e-mail in your Inbox, make sure you look through your spam folders as well).
Once you click on that link, it will tell you that your e-mail address has been validated and you can then just click on the Continue button. Next, you will be asked to enter in your cell phone number. You will then be asked to call a phone number to confirm it. When you call, you will just hear a short automated message to let you know that your number has been validated. When you're ready, hit the Continue button again. You can then add in the names of some of your friends that you might want to Jott. If you don't want to do that though, you can either click on the "Remind Me Later" link or hit Done.
When you're all done with that, you are now ready to start Jotting! To do so, call this number from the cell phone you just registered: 1-866-JOTT-123. You will then be asked "Who do you want to Jott?" If you want to Jott yourself, just say "myself." If you want to Jott someone else, say their name. It's as easy as that! You can leave a message up to 30 seconds long and within moments, you will receive the message you left either in your e-mail or through a text message, whichever way you chose to go. How cool is that?!
So, why should you use Jott? Well, for one thing, if you're out and about and you think of something you need to do when you get home, you can call the toll-free number, leave yourself a voice message and the reminder will be waiting in your e-mail when you get home. Or, let's say you don't really like to text message on your cell phone. You know, maybe you find it difficult to type with all those little keys. If that's the case, what do you do when you need to send a text to a friend or family member? Up until now, you probably either didn't do it or you forced yourself to deal with it. Well, you no longer have to do that. Just call up Jott, leave a voice message for your friend or family member and have it sent to their cell phone as a text message. As long as you know their cell phone number, it's as easy as pie!
Jott is also a safer alternative to text messaging while driving (unfortunately, we all know people do it!) If you have an urgent message you need to send to yourself or someone else, just call Jott and they'll take care of it for you. That way, you never have to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road. There are so many uses for Jott. Whether you need to remind yourself about something or get ahold of someone else quickly, Jott is the way to go. There are several different uses listed on Jott's Web site, but even more, I'm sure you can think of your own if you really thought about it. As you can see, it's so easy to use and it's beyond helpful in those tight situations!
Jott is currently in its beta stage, but you can still use all of its features without any trouble. It's also 100 percent free to use, so give it a try today. You never know how Jott could save your life, time and time again!

Rezoning Will Not End Crowding Issues, District 2 Council Members Say
Members of District 2's Community Education Council indicated Wednesday night that they were not fully satisfied with the city's rezoning proposal for the sprawling Manhattan district, saying the plan would not accomplish what it sets out to do.
Though the education council members did not indicate which way they would vote, some said they were concerned about having to put West Village parents, who are heavily affected by the rezoning, through the rezoning process again in a few years, when new schools are built and new space problems arise in city schools.
"I will echo what a lot of parents said tonight: rezoning doesn't solve overcrowding," said Shino Tanikawa, the president of the District 2 Community Education Council.
Two other council members, Michael Markowitz and Eric Goldberg, co-chairmen of the rezoning committee, also echoed audience members' concerns that the plan's effectiveness would be short-lived.
The remarks came at another contentious meeting over the proposal, attended by nearly 150 parents, teachers and principals at Public School 116 in Murray Hill, and including members from school communities on opposite sides of the West Village that disagree over part of the plan.
The city's Department of Education introduced the proposal to rezone the district, which includes the Upper East Side, Chelsea, the West Village, TriBeCa and Lower Manhattan, to deal with the immense growth that has occurred there in recent years.
The Education Department has said the plan will alleviate some of the pressure in the district's schools. But since the West Village will not see a new school until one opens at the Foundling Hospital building in 2014, the city has proposed new zoning aimed specifically at two Greenwich Village schools: P.S. 3 Charette School, on Hudson Street, and P.S. 41 Greenwich School, on the other side of the Village on West 11th Street, which share a singular situation in that they are in the same zone, allowing parents a choice of which school their children will attend.
Both schools face overcrowding issues, and some parents are not happy with the way the city proposes to resolve the problem by sending some students to P.S. 11 William T. Harris, which is outside the zone.
P.S. 3 and P.S. 41 practice different educational philosophies, and many parents feel strongly about which one they want their child to attend. They also disagree about whether drawing a new line down the middle of the Village, taking away their choice of schools, is a good idea.
Parents from P.S. 3 say they want their school to remain an alternative choice for parents within the zone. They disputed rumblings at the meeting over whether they were accepting children from outside the zone, saying they have not done so in years.
"I implore that you please keep P.S. 3 a choice school," Kate Brady, whose daughter is in first grade at P.S. 3, said at the hearing. "We accept children in zone. I want to quash this fallacy that we bring in children from outside of the zone. We don't."
P.S. 41 advocates support the proposal, contending that rezoning the Village to give each school its own zone would force the Department of Education to accept that there are too many children for too few seats in the neighborhood.
"If the zone is split, then P.S. 41 can have a conversation with the D.O.E. and say this is how overcrowded we are; it's no longer a conversation where we say we're overcrowded and they say P.S. 3 can take the overflow," said Sandra Blackwood, the PTA president at P.S. 41.
Tensions carried outside the gymnasium, when parents from both schools met and continued their fierce debate over the proposal.
The Community Education Council will not vote on the proposals until later this year, possibly after holding more meetings with community members and parents.
"At this point we're not leaning one way or the other," said Mr. Goldberg, a co-chairman of the rezoning committee. "We're trying to identify issues and work with the D.O.E. to resolve those issues."
Elizabeth Rose, a representative from the Education Department's Division of Portfolio Planning, who briefly attended the meeting, said the agency was taking the Community Education Council's suggestions about the West Village and Lower Manhattan parts of the plan seriously. She declined to discuss the plan Wednesday night — a comment education council members took as a sign they were being heard.
"Zoning is why we're here, but the issues in the city schools are really what's pressing," Mr. Goldberg said. "That's the difficult piece; we're talking about rezoning, but the real issues are capacity and class size, things that are more difficult to sort out."

Walking the Walk
Jewish Family & Life (JFL Media), February 2006
The author reflects on what the motto of Conservative Judaism should be today to best express its members' aspirations, needs and impulses. Emphasizing that laissez-faire attitudes, lack of clear group norms and minimal demands do not make compelling associations, she concludes the new motto might be "Derekh Masorti: We talk the talk and walk the walk."

Replacing panels on screened in porch
We've got a screened in porch made up of 24" x 7'1 and 40" x 7'1 what I believe are old really poorly made screen doors.
I got a quote from a local builder for new made to order panels with glass and screens, and then a new storm door also and it came out to $2777 for 6 panels and a door.
Combination Door Co were $450 each or more - so about $3000. All of this seems like a heck of a lot of money for essentially a place to leave our shoes that we don't want to be exposed to the weather :eek:
Without the screens for the panels (solid glass on the panels, then screen/glass just for the door) it is a little more reasonable??????? at $1903. I have read a lot of people end up only swapping out the screen in the door. And we also have a back patio. So when it gets warmer we end up going back there.
Does anyone have any more... budget minded ... suggestions?
That price does sound reasonable that you were quoted, if you go the other way with just the glass which by the way must be tempered safety glass because the glass is to low to the floor.(code here ) the porch will be pretty hot in the warmer months. even with the screen in the door. You will regret it. Bob

A renowned British media executive and his wife have been killed in a road accident in Spain.
Brian Hitchen, 77, and his wife Nelli Hitchen were struck by a car yesterday while crossing a road in Altea, on the country's east coast. Mrs Hitchen died at the scene, while Mr Hitchen was taken to hospital but later died from his injuries.
Mr Hitchen was editor of the Daily Star from 1987 to 1994 and sister publication the Sunday Express in 1995.
He had also spent time working at the Daily Mirror and the National Enquirer in the United States.
A spokeswoman for Northern & Shell, the Daily Express and Daily Star's parent company, confirmed the deaths.
"We can confirm the sad news that Brian Hitchen, former Editor of the Daily Star and the Sunday Express, and his wife, Nelli, have died after being been involved in a serious road accident in Spain," she said.
"Brian was taken to a hospital in a very grave condition and doctors were not able to save him.
"Nelli very sadly died at the scene. Our thoughts are with their family at this time."
Daily Express Editor Hugh Whittow, who had worked with Mr Hitchen, said he was struggling to come to terms with the tragedy.
"Brian was one of my very best friends and I am deeply, deeply saddened by this tragic news," he said.
"Brian was talented, funny, generous, full of mischief and everyone loved him.
"He was devoted to Nelli and she was devoted to him, and they both adored their children and grandchildren.
"This is tragic news. There are so many people on Fleet Street and in many other walks of life who owe so much to him. He was a brilliant journalist and an absolutely fantastic man."
British broadcaster Piers Morgan also expressed his sadness via Twitter.
"Horrendous news about Brian Hitchen and his wife Nelly (sic)," he wrote.
"Great editor, and wonderful character. Gave me my 1st shift in Fleet Street. RIP."
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said it was in contact with the Hitchen family.
"We are aware of the death of two British nationals following an incident on 1 December in Altea, near Benidorm, in Spain," a spokeswoman said.
"We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."
The respected news man is expected to be honoured tonight at the British Journalism Awards in London.
Express Newspapers' Digital Content Director Gareth Morgan tweeted: "I will raise a large glass to Brian Hitchen tonight at the British Journalism Awards. Tomorrow I'll have a Hitch-sized hangover.
"It's a black day for journalism. RIP Brian Hitchen. Still the Boss."
