Restrict computations to Reals
I am evaluating the normal integral with general
parameters mu and sigma:
One of the answers is correct: Sqrt[sigma^2]/sigma,
the general answer is left in integral form because
Mathematica assumes sigma is a complex number.
How do I tell Mathematica that I am only considering cases where
mu and sigma are reals, so the general case is skipped, and
the correct answer is reduced to 1 ?
Thanks for any help.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The second heart-breaking loss in the last three games was arguably harder to swallow than the first, if for no other reason than that Tim Wakefield was so close—closer than he's ever been—to his 200th win. Even so, this was an ugly game from the get-go, and both sides were to blame.
When the dust settled, the Red Sox and Blue Jays totaled 21 runs (11-10 Jays), 22 hits (14-8 Red Sox), 6 HBP (4 Jays and 2 Sox), but the one number that seemingly everyone in Boston cares about, that magic number 200, wasn't there. Again. For the eighth—count that EIGHTH—time (seven starts and a long relief outing).
Just like the night before, the Sox scored early, pushing three runners across in the first against Jays starter Brandon Morrow. Kevin Youkilis was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score the first run, and two batters later, Marco Scutaro, who has been scorching in his old home park, drove in two more runs with an RBI single.
But Wakefield wasn't sharp. He gave up a sacrifice fly after two walks and a wild pitch, and after Jarrod Saltalamacchia allowed a passed ball. And the next inning, Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia hit a 2-run homer to tie the game. Toronto added two more an inning later on a hit batter, a wild pitch, a Jose Bautista ground-rule double, a walk to rookie Brett Lawrie, and an error by Scutaro on a double steal play. Suddenly, Wakefield had relinquished the lead and put the Sox in a 5-3 hole.
But, the Red Sox bounced back. In the fourth, Josh Reddick had an RBI double before Jacoby Ellsbury hit his 25th home-run of the season, a 3-run shot that put the Sox ahead once again. David Ortiz launched a solo homer in the fifth to make it 8-5, and when Wakefield escaped the bottom of the inning with the lead, the pieces were in place for the end of perhaps the most frustrating drought of his 19-year career.
Franklin Morales and Dan Wheeler shakily took care of the sixth inning, but Edwin Encarnacion pushed the Jays' sixth run across in the seventh inning with an RBI single. In the eighth, everything imploded. Daniel Bard hit a batter, allowed a single, walked a batter, and, after striking out the next two hitters, walked in two runs. In the disastrous mess, he also ended all hope of Wakefield earning the win. Matt Albers came on and allowed a bases-clearing double to give the Toronto an 11-8 lead, going into the ninth.
In the 9th, the Red Sox didn't go down quietly, as Adrian Gonzalez crushed a solo home-run, and Scutaro had an RBI single, but the Jays were able to shut the door and hand the Sox a bitter and frustrating 11-10 loss.
The Red Sox, down in the series 2-1, now sit at 85-57, 2.5 games back of New York. The Blue Jays improved to 71-72 but have an elimination number of only 4 (sum of wins by division leader and Toronto losses). The two teams finish off the 4-game series on Thursday.
Ellsbury has the most home runs from the leadoff spot (23) in the Red Sox order since Nomar Garciaparra had 30 in 1997….Dustin Pedroia broke an 0-for-13 skid with a single in the first inning….With his next home run this season, Ortiz will have seven 30-homer seasons in Boston. The only player with more is Ted Williams with eight….Youkilis has now been hit by a pitch 81 times in his career, a new Red Sox franchise record….Scutaro is now 8-for-13 in the series with 3 runs and 7 RBI. Against Toronto this season, he is hitting .486 (17-for-35) with 8 runs and 11 RBI in 8 games…. Bard's 36 pitches set a season high, and his 5 runs allowed is now a career high….Wakefield may only have a few more opportunities for his 200th win, as his effectiveness has dropped severely, and his role has diminished. A return next season seems unlikely if he can achieve the milestone this season…. Jonathan Papelbon was in the bullpen, and many, including Sox radio announcer Dale Arnold felt that he should have entered the game in the eighth inning when Bard was clearly faltering. That he did not is either a poor managing move or a sign that Papelbon might be ailing.

Q&A: Jason Litzau
Photos and story by Jesse Kelley
"The American Boy" Jason Litzau (27-2, 21 KOs) promises fans will see him at his best for Saturday nights HBO triple header bout against 34 year old former world champion Celestino Caballero 34-2, 23 KOs). Litzau, 27, of Saint Paul, MN will be a live underdog going into the bout, having won four consecutive fights including a technical decision over Rocky Juarez since being stopped by Robert Guerrero in 2008.
Litzau believes Caballero is the best opponent he will have faced and says a continued focus on ring intelligence combined with a training camp that included strength, conditioning, and reaction time training will be key to pulling off the upset victory. Litzau spoke with Fightnews following the most intense training camp of his career shortly before leaving for Las Vegas this past Tuesday afternoon. Litzau discussed the work he put in during training camp and his thoughts on Celestino "Pelenchin" Caballero.
I understand that you have added a very intense strength and conditioning program to your training camp for this fight. The program is run by an old highschool friend of yours. You say it has brought you to another level.
Gerardo Aguirre is his name. He is unbelievable. G-Force Fitness in Stillwater, MN. I have never been pushed like this for a fight. And now I see that I have never trained properly until now. You can't really be ready for a fight like this unless you have gone through the kind of stuff that I have with Gerardo. Every day is a different thing. You work different muscles. You guys will see this Saturday night that this is the best Jason Litzau there has ever been. And you know what? There is no better time then now because this is the best guy I have ever fought. Everything is perfect right now. I never knew this level of being ready until now, period. We have worked on so much more then just strength. The focus was also on reaction, quickness and intelligence in the ring.
In the past we talked about trouble finding sparring partners here in Minnesota to prepare for the different types of opponents you face at this level. But I understand you teamed up with recent amateur standout and now pro welterweight Jamal James to prepare for Caballero. James is a tall and wiry puncher much like Caballero. Talk about the work you and James put in for this fight.
Both Jamal James and Oscar Soto, I can't thank them enough for the work they put in. Unbelievable work. They are both big, strong guys. I guarantee they are bigger and stronger then the guy I am fighting. They are both great guys and great fighters. I have their back until the end of my life.
Let's talk about Caballero. In my opinion, this is a pound for pound list fight. He is moving up in weight but I see it as two top jr. lightweights squaring off. Discuss your opponent Celestino Caballero.
Caballero throws a lot of punches, he is a super champ. I want to thank him as well as HBO for giving me this opportunity. All I can do is show up and prove myself on Saturday night. My goal is to get right back on HBO after this fight. Obviously I need to win to do that so that is what I am going to do.
Do you see any weaknesses in Caballero that you will look to capitalize on?
We saw some weaknesses and you will see on the 27th what they are. We have all kinds of ways to deal with what he will bring. We have a great game plan but if I told everybody what I was going to do to beat this guy there would be no reason to tune in (laughing)!
Will your NABF title be on the line?
No. I am vacating that title. This isn't about titles, it's about pound for pound recognition like you said and it's about giving a great performance on HBO in front of the world.
What would you like to add in closing?
I want to thank all my fans and of course the troops. I can't be in better shape or more prepared for the 27th and I look forward to showing the world the best performance of my career.

Dear Friends and Fellow Servants of Our Lord,
In the Gospel of Matthew, the imprisoned John the Baptist sent a message to Jesus questioning "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for someone else?" When I saw a bedraggled group of travelers in ages ranging from their twenties to eighties coming through the gate at Naha Airport last June 25th, I similarly questioned in my mind, "Is this the West Virginia mission team who is to come, or should we look for someone else?"
Joking aside, (because we knew this was just travel weariness), what we witnessed from this team was similar to how Jesus responded to John's question.
In the churches: The Gospel was preached, and testimonies of God's life-changing power inspired Okinawa listeners. Unrehearsed, team members sang "Country Roads" to a responsive crowd gathered for an event called "Baptist Day". Open to cultural exchange, group members enthusiastically learned the art of origami.
At the Convention office: A seminar on church planting was met with keen interest by local pastors, (as evidenced by diligent note-taking and in-depth questioning).
On the bus and at large: Tracts were distributed, and people on the street were invited to worship. The team also ministered to a sixteen-year-old Okinawa girl with some emotional/spiritual issues. Fellowship meals of interesting varieties were enjoyed by all, as were laughter, teasing, joking, story-telling, and encouragement. Some team members toured a local pottery village, whose Christian owner had received the Emperor's award for being a national cultural treasure.
At Okinawa Christian School International: Students and teachers in summer session were blessed with classroom help from team members, while a weak school kitchen floor in a sweltering hot trailer got reinforced. The team also dismantled old school lockers on the third floor of the school and hoisted them down to make room for a new locker bay. Eternal friendships were forged with school missionary personnel.
At Hokuzanso Baptist Camp: In tropical heat, men of the group removed caked-on debris from the Baptist camp dining hall roof and raked the grounds, as the women cleaned cabin kitchens and the chapel. The women also took old sleeping mats from a dark, musty closet and soundly beat them for the sin of attracting mildew, sunned them, and then returned them to their dark, but nicely cleaned cell to await service as camper bedding for the summer. Everyone then deferred self-gratification of going out for a treat, to support the sharing of the Gospel with a visitor at the camp who was searching for spiritual truth!
At sea: Some team members enjoyed "snorkeling" and "beach-combing" as they witnessed God's glory in the myriads of life-forms in the ocean and on the beaches.
At the Memorial Peace Park and Museum: The missionaries contemplated the numerous sacrifices made on the island and throughout the Pacific theatre during WWII.
In Our hearts and Minds:
The desire to do more for our Lord's Kingdom at home and wherever His Spirit calls is rekindled. We are filled with gratitude for the gifts and prayers that buoyed up this mission, and are already making plans for future mission trips, (perhaps as early as next year). There is a renewed appreciation for what God can do with us at almost any age, as we saw 21-81 year olds being moved vibrantly by the Holy Spirit on this mission, amid oppressive heat and culture shock. This was truly mission partnership at its best!
We also want to thank you for your sacrificial giving to us during the time of the World Mission Offering. We are amazed at how God is at work here in Okinawa and we appreciate how you have made it possible for us to be here serving Him at such at time as this.
David and Leslie Turley
We now have Skype capability. If your church is interested in doing a Skype call, please email us from our profile page and we can arrange it with you.

Moontower: Parliament + Super Computer
The New Movement-NOLA
Friday, April 25, 2014 from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM (CDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
From some of the biggest movers and shakers in the Austin improv scene comes the troupe, Parliament. Made up of veterans of improv, film, theater, music, sketch, standup and even puppeteering, Parliament delivers a wildly fast, smart, and high-energy show that promises an entirely different show every time. Not locked to one set style, members of Parliament never know what kind of show they will be getting into until the moment the show starts.
Parliament is Aaron Walther, Rob Gagnon, Chadwick Smith, Megan Simon, Lisa Friedrich, and Jeff Whitaker.
Super Computer
Super Computer of the New Movement is one of New Orleans' favorite improv groups. The group's members have been seen doing comedy around the country in various capacities (Funny or Die, Chicago SketchFest, San Francisco SketchFest, Hell Yes Fest, dinner). Nothing, however, compares to the absurdity that occurs when they are together. Don't miss Super Computer's fast-paced, bizarre, and skillful brand of improv.
$7 online/$10 door
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?
We can't sell alcohol at our venues, so it's BYOB. However, if the event states that we're giving out free booze (which sometimes happens), you'll have to show a 21+ ID to get in the doors.
What is the refund policy?
If you buy an online ticket, you should arrive 30 min before the start of the show to guarantee getting a seat because we also sell tickets at the door and usually have a crowd waiting for no-show seats. If you don't arrive at least 10 min before the show, your seats could be given out to people on our waiting list, and if that happens, you will not be entitled to a refund since we don't offer refunds after the show has started.

Posted by Dan Bieler on December 21, 2011
At its 2011 Analyst Event in Boston, Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) outlined more details of its recently announced strategy review. In our view, the new focus NSN is taking is right. NSN is focusing on growth segments of the infrastructure market and will generate large savings from operating expenses and production overheads. In addition to its focus on providing the most efficient mobile broadband network infrastructure, NSN also highlighted the importance of customer experience management (CEM) as an integral part of its strategy.
NSN also provided more guidance on which market segments it no longer considers core. These include wireline, microwave, Wimax, perfect voice, and business support systems. Some of these, microwave and Wimax, it already spun off. NSN estimates that the overall revenue impact of its non-core disposals will total 10% of its current revenue base. The impact on profit will be less than 10%, as these non-core disposals are low-margin operations.
NSN believes that telcos increasingly demand end-to-end solutions from their equipment vendor partners. No equipment vendors can credibly deliver such end-to-end solutions on their own. Hence, NSN is positioning itself as an ecosystems manager for end-to-end solutions. As part of its innovation drive, NSN increasingly focuses on devising concepts for solutions rather than simply focusing on product upgrades. For instance, Liquid Net is a concept for network infrastructure design that supports a more efficient usage of underutilized infrastructure capacity based on a range of NSN products. Similarly, NSN places great emphasis on its CEM solution, which helps telcos to transform their services offerings by enhancing network-related features that affect customer experience and satisfaction.

But I'm replaying the scene and I'm irratated with myself, a tiny bit rattled and figuring out just how many lessons came out of today.
It's a cool day in NC, long sleeve weather. I was at the loading bench earlier today and my wife said she was going to run errands and did I want to come? Not really but "sure, why not", with a smile. Lock up, get in the truck and oh yeah, forgot the snubby. Well, we're heading to Roxboro and nothing happens there. It's not like we're going to Durham; Everything happens there.
Stop at the John Deere place for parts. Stop a Lowes for....stuff... that I have to install, build, repair, etc. Stop at Food Lion and I say "I'll wait in the truck". She heads in.
I'm sitting behind the wheel, window down, radio on, having a smoke (yeah...I know, don't say it, I'll quit someday). Here comes a guy across the parking lot. Half zipped hoody with long floppy sleeves, the hood is not up. Long hair in braids, pulled back kind of. Long and tall and lanky and oh.....maybe it's a woman. Whatever. But he/she is getting closer and makes a sort of gentle turn and is heading towards me. 20' and closing and I realize that not only can I not see any hands in these long floppy sleeves, but it very definitely looks like there's something extended in the right hand (inside the sleeve). All I've got is a cigarette that I prepare for flipping out the window (figuring in the face) because I have no time for any other reaction and it's the best I can do. Next step I'm guessing is to fling the door open while he figures out if his face is burning. "It" comes to the window of the truck and ask for "a quarter, or maybe a dollar" in a very feminine, manly voice. OK. it's a man with some challenges in life. Then the hand comes out of the sleeve. This guy has the hands of a basketball player and all I was seeing was his hand and fingers extened straight forward but hidden by the sleeve. No weapon, but his hands were as long as my feet. My mistake but an easy one to make.
For lack of anything else....I put out the cigarette, gave him a buck and then he asked for a smoke AND a quarter again "if I had it". At this point I wigged a little bit and gave him hell and sent him off walking again. I didn't even have the presence of mind to tell him to keep his hands showing if he was going to present himself to strangers in that manner.
So in the Big Book of Good and Bad....this was bad. I left home without it. I was unprepared. I read the situation but I was inaccurate. I doubt that I would have drawn on him but would have been armed, arms folded, 38 under my left arm, held in right hand. I 'think'. I had very little time to act properly or improperly but it didn't matter because I couldn't do either.
I don't live a paranoid existance and I couldn't tolerate being wired that way. I don't live in a code red condition 24/7. I maintain SA, and I'm not casual about carrying (except maybe today). But this one was on me and I didn't do well IMO.
Be careful....even in your own version of Roxboro or Mayberry or wherever "nothing ever happens".

Reviews forTasty Burritos
My Review
Average Rating
"I have made these burritos twice and they are easy to make and tasty"
"I made this recipe strait up. It was good enough, I guess, but we like more flavor. So if I were to make these again, definitely some garlic, onion powder, oregano, cumin and salt in the beans."
"I made these vegetarian-style by using Morningstar Farms veggie crumbles instead of beef. They were very good!"
"These are easy and delicious! My family really enjoyed these. The recipe can be easily customized to your families taste, if you want a little more spice add some Jared jalape?os, don't have that cheese on hand add some cheddar or Monterey Jack.Great served with a salad and rice and beans! I made mine just slightly different by adding the beans and cheese directly into the pan with the beef warming and mixing everything together. We will make these again!"
"My husband is a very picky eater, but he loves Taco Bell all beef burritos. So, I took a chance that he would like these. He LOVED them and told me I should make them again. He rarely says that. I did not use beans because he won't eat them and I added some leftover Taco Bell sauce packets to it. I used the 8" soft taco size tortillas. Also, I used Pam to fry them, not oil. They were a hit!"
"Excellent recipe! Love how they freeze, so I made a double batch and have them ready to heat. Everyone in the family loved them too."
"My family loved these. I thought they were even better the next day. I reheated in the oven for an even crispier tortilla. You could add lots of things to it if you wanted but really tasty as written."
"This is now a family favorite!! easy to fry up on the stove. I think I'll try adding black olives into the mix next time."
"Do you add the water with the taco seasoning?"
"These were really delicious and quick to make. If I can make something in under 30 min. that's "fast food" to me. So much healthier than the store bought. I used homemade taco seasoning and coconut oil for sauteing (sorry canola oil is NOT the healthy oil we're led to believe). The canned refried beans made the mixture somewhat runny so it would depend on the brand one uses for this recipe. Might consider adding onions next time (as another reviewer mentioned) as well as jalapenos for more spice.~No, I do not add any water to the mixture"

Modern take on Russian classic charms and offends in Moscow
By Gabriela Baczynska and Lidia Kelly
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Interwoven with references to Vladimir Putin, a contemporary take on the 19th century Russian classic "Boris Godunov" charmed and offended a Moscow theater audience in equal measure with its tale of murderous usurper-turned-ruthless czar.
The play has divided public opinion in the same way as Russia's Oscar-nominated film "Leviathan". Both challenge people's perceptions of life in Russia, leaving some commending them for honesty and others arguing they demean Russia just as it needs to be defended from a critical West.
Boris Godunov, written by Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, is loosely based on historical events in 16th century Russia. Director Konstantin Bogomolov, 39, has brought the tale into the modern world, spicing it up with multimedia tricks and Skype conversations.
Early in the play, as people learn that Godunov has killed the legitimate heir, a screen shows a caption repeated 10 times, sending a nervous giggle through an increasingly uncomfortable audience: "The people gathered on the central square. The people are waiting to be told what next. The people are stupid scum."
When Godunov then places the crown on his own head, the screen shows 2012 video footage of Putin's convoy driving through Moscow's empty streets to the Kremlin for his third presidential inauguration.
But Bogomolov said the play was not primarily intended as a satire of Putin. Rather, it is rather a look at how modern Russia sees and talks about itself.
"It's a bit of mockery of the political situation in general, of course. But mostly it's about the aesthetics of society, how we speak of what's going on," he told Reuters.
"By having a go at the aesthetics of the society, rather than political questions, you hit the people harder." Continued...

Salt Oscillator *
AbstractFill a jar a little more than half full with fresh water. Make a solution of salt water, and add a drop or two of food coloring to it. Pour the salt water solution into a plastic cup with a small hole in the bottom, and then place the cup in the jar with fresh water. (The only connection between the fresh and salt water should be via the hole in the bottom of the cup.) With the right combination of hole size and salt concentration, you will see an oscillating current develop in the jar. Experiment to find which hole sizes and salt concentrations work best. (Johnson, 2005)

Arsène Wenger believes the handling of Manchester City's record-breaking sponsorship deal will be Michel Platini's "biggest test" as Uefa president as he tries to impose Financial Fair Play rules on European clubs.
City will receive up to £400million for a stadium-naming arrangement with Etihad Airways, a company owned by the Abu Dhabi government. The airline's links with City's owner, Sheikh Mansour, are expected to prompt an investigation from Uefa's Club Financial Control Panel.
Financial Fair Play rules dictate that clubs must break even over a three-year rolling period or risk being excluded from European competitions. City's deal has sparked concern that clubs can circumvent the new rules and Wenger understands why.
"It raises the real question about the credibility of the Financial Fair Play," he said. "That is what it is all about. They give us the message they can get around it by doing what they want.
"It means the Financial Fair Play will not come in. It is as simple as that. I can understand how they do it but it raises the real question – the difficulty and the credibility of the Financial Fair Play is at stake.
"Plus normally the sponsorship has to be at the market price if the Financial Fair Play has to have a chance, the sponsorship has to be at the market price.
"It cannot be doubled, tripled or quadrupled because that means it is better we don't do it and leave everybody free. That can be defended as well, but if they bring the rules in they have to be respected.
"I don't need to [speak to Platini] because it looks to me that he is very strongly determined on that. He is not stupid, he knows as well that some clubs will try to get around that and at the moment I believe they are studying, behind closed doors, how they can really strongly check it.
"That is where the Financial Fair Play is at stake and this is his [Platini's] big test."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

After you set up a screen lock, you'll also be able to control what info appears on it. Go into Settings, tap on Security, then tap on Lock screen options. From here, you'll be able to set up Shortcuts, turn on the Information ticker, get quick access to the camera, set up a Clock or Dual clocks, turn on weather widget and you can even toggle the Ripple effect.
I figured there must be a better way to answer a call besides swiping even though I haven't been able to make myself get used to doing this yet. You can use your Galaxy S3's Home button to answer and end phone calls so you don't have to swipe the screen. To enable the feature, go to Settings, choose the Accessibility options and then click to open the Call Answering/Ending settings.

CLAL: the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, 2000
In this short and personal piece, Rabbi Jennifer Krause attempts to dissect the puzzle of community. She discusses Parashat Bo and suggests that while we are not sure who comprised the "erev rav," the anonymous group who accompanied the Israelites as they fled from Egypt, we are certain that the Israelites were not the only ones who experienced the exodus. The author explains that while the Israelites set out on their personal journey, they were still with other people, the "erev rav," who were on an important voyage of their own. From this tale, she concludes that in life we are not only traveling with the people with whom we have chosen to travel, but with the ones who turn up along the way as well.

Red Wine-Carrot Sauce
Taste this sauce and see if it needs to be a little sweeter; it should taste like the sauce in a boeuf bourguignon. If you're using summer carrots, you probably won't need to add sugar.
Slideshow:More Terrific Condiments
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: makes about 3/4 cup
- Salt
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups full-bodied dry red wine
- 1 medium shallot, minced
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons and chilled
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the carrot, cover and simmer over moderate heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, transfer to a mini processor and puree.
In the same saucepan, bring the wine to a boil. Ignite the wine and let the alcohol burn off. Add the shallot and boil over high heat until the wine is reduced by three-quarters, 8 minutes. Stir in the carrot puree and bring to a boil.
Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the chilled butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the butter is incorporated and the sauce is smooth. Return the pan to low heat now and then to keep the sauce hot enough to melt the butter but do not let it boil. Season with salt and pepper; the sauce should be peppery.
Make Ahead
The sauce, without the butter, can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to a boil and proceed.
Serve With
Steaks, poached eggs, roast chicken.

Revealed: Secret plan to keep Iraq under US control
A secret deal being negotiated in Baghdad would perpetuate the American military occupation of Iraq indefinitely, regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election in November.
The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilise Iraq's position in the Middle East and lay the basis for unending conflict in their country.
This may explain why, after Der Spiegel reported that Maliki agreed with Obama that a 16-month timetable for withdrawing US troops from Iraq was reasonable, the US issued a statement that Der Spiegel had "mistranslated" what Maliki had said.

I am writing in response to the article on page 3 of this week's paper, "Local Man Charged with Kiddy Porn Possession." I found the term "kiddy porn," which is used twice (once in the headline), offensive. The article writes about "child pornography, commonly referred to as kiddy porn;" I don't know anyone who commonly refers to child pornography at all, much less with a nickname. I have also never heard the term used in the media. A moniker such as this seems to make light of the serious wrongdoing described in the article, and is unprofessional at best.
I believe "kiddy" should be spelled with an "ie" at the end anyway, a moot point since you will hopefully never use this term again.
Editor's Reply: Jumpin' Jehoshaphat, must we be politically correct when it comes to child pornographers too?
Whether it be kiddy porn or 'kiddie' porn, police have referred to child pornography by this term as long as one can remember. By the way, our computer spelling tool spells it 'kiddy' and when one spells 'kiddie' you will get a prompt to spell it 'kiddy.' The word kiddy is defined by the dictionary as being a child, kid, minor, nipper, tiddler, youngster, tike, shaver, small fry, nestling, fry or tyke - a young person of either sex. Have a great day!

good or best bio media?
I just got a rena xp2 and it only came with like 8 bio stars. I'm looking for some bio media to fill it up with. The only experiance I've had with any of this is the media that came with my eheim when I got it about a year ago.
Anything with a lot of surface area. Ceramic rings, bio-balls, plastic pot scrubbers, whatever.
But you need to think about why you're picking any bio media at all. Why not just go with mechanical media? It all doubles as bio media in any case. A simple sponge is both mechanical and biological media, while a plastic bio-ball is just biological. Just using mech media increases the amount of time your can will last between cleanings, and makes your can even more efficient at physically cleaning water.
If you have a good reason for adding strictly biological media (other than because it's what lots of people do), I recommend dollar-store plastic pot scrubbers. If not, I'd say just go with filter floss, sponges, or something along those lines.
I'm going to have 2 course pads, a medium pad, and half a tray full of filter floss. I am just going to use the media in 1/2 of one of the trays, just so I have different types of stuff for the bacteria to grow on. I see your point in the "just mechanical" part though. I never thought about it like that. But I think I will add some sort of bio media, just not sure what type and what the differences each type has.
Some folks are using lava rock for bio media. You can get it at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Just break it up some into smaller pieces.

Body cameras suggested for T&T police
(Trinidad Guardian) Director of the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) Gillian Lucky has recommended that police be outfitted with body cameras when out on duty to execute search warrants and for closed-circuit television cameras to be installed in all charge rooms and holding cells at police stations.
She said the cameras were not only to expose potential wrongdoing but also to prevent misbehaviour. Lucky made the call during the PCA's seventh community outreach programme at the Bon Air High School on Wednesday, which was also attended by Arouca/Maloney MP Alicia Hospedales.
Addressing residents in the school auditorium, Lucky said the PCA was looking with keen interest into the circumstances surrounding the death of Stacy Ramdeen. Ramdeen, the 32-year-old mother of three of Ibis Gardens, Caroni, died last Thursday, after police claimed she swallowed cocaine during a raid at her home.
Two autopsies were performed last Friday, the first of which ruled that Ramdeen died from asphyxia and that there was no trace of cocaine in her system. A second autopsy concluded Ramdeen died from strangulation, which later prompted relatives to call for an independent investigation to ascertain how she really died.
Referring specifically to Ramdeen, Lucky said while the PCA did not prejudge any matter, it had to ensure investigations were done in an fair, thorough, accurate and honest manner. Revealing that PCA investigators were set to visit Ramdeen's house yesterday as part of their investigation, Lucky said the PCA was monitoring the investigation and would receive copies of all police reports.
She said after she spoke with acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams, a police officer from outside the Central Division had been assigned to investigate the matter. Seeking to educate the public about the PCA's responsibilities and functions, as well as its role in the civilian oversight of law enforcement, Lucky sought to dispel the notion that the PCA was a toothless bulldog.
Pointing out that the PCA Act, proclaimed in January 2007, had breathed new life into the it, Lucky explained that after she was appointed director in December 2010, the PCA set out to address the issues before it and deliver service to complainants.
The three areas which would determine the PCA's involvement include allegations of criminal offences involving police officers, police corruption and serious police misconduct.

Hey guys- I used to drive a 08' Altima Coupe and did a TON of work on it as far as trying to make the car exactly what it wasnt. Im a member of NICO (www.altimacoupe.com) and have gotten a huge new family from there. Met a ton of ppl, and grown new friendships.
As such, I got a killer deal on a white 2008 Subie WRX premium sport wagon. 28k miles for 16k *from a dealership as well* I'll post pics in a jiffy as soon as my cam decides to work lol.
I did have a few questions which i'll post also in the exterior section if there isnt a huge answer- (and plz dont say anything about the 224hp in the 08 compared to the 09, much less the track squishy suspension. Suspension will be upgraded, but i have other issues lol)
the hatch wrx from this year didnt have the wrx badging on the grill, which... w/e lol- i can throw on a badge, no biggie. the bumper is the sporty version, (its fully loaded). and has the STI splitter on it. HOWEVER the bottom of the bumper has 2 cracks in it. i can deal w/ it now, but after winter i want to fix it/replace it. Hence where i'm asking if the newer front bumpers w/ the sti flare design will fit. I understand if i need to get new fenders as well, because of the flare on the bumper, but that is my main goal. the subtle curves are ok, but i want that bumper and fender flare that, in my mind, is the subaru signature. (like sum of u have on ur new 11' wrx's)
i was able to get a sweet car for the same amnt of time from my payments (2 yrs of payments still gone w/ the tradein) and also a lower monthly, which im super happy about. lol
anywho- any help is appreciated, and i hope to become friends w/ a lot of you!

The Defense of Capitalism in: The Trial of Hank Rearden from ' Atlas Shrugged ' by Ayn Rand
Edited for size, but not content.
For a month in advance, the people who filled the courtroom had been told by the press that they would see the man who was a greedy enemy of society; but they had come to see the man who had invented Rearden Metal. The crowd knew from the newspapers that he represented the evil of ruthless wealth. They looked at him with curiosity and with a dim sense of defiance against those who had told them that it was their duty to hate him.
The newspapers snarled that the cause of the country's troubles, as this case demonstrated, was the selfish greed of rich industrialists; that it was men like Hank Rearden who were to blame for the shrinking diet, the cooling of the Earth, and the cracking roofs people's homes. That if it had not been for men who broke regulations and hampered the government's plans, prosperity would have been achieved long ago. That a man like Hank Rearden was prompted by nothing but the profit motive. This last was stated without explanation or elaboration, as if the words "profit motive" were the self-evident brand of ultimate evil ...
Cases of this kind were not tried by a jury, but by a panel of three judges appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources; the procedure was to be informal and democratic. One of the judges, acting as prosecutor, read out loud the charges.
"You may now offer whatever plea you wish to make in your own defense," he announced.
Hank Rearden answered: "I have no defense."
"Do you mean that you are refusing to obey the law?" asked the judge.
"No. I am complying with the law - to the letter. Your law holds that my life, my work and my property may be disposed of without my consent. Very well, you may now dispose of me without my participation in the matter. I will not play the part of defending myself, where no defense is possible, and I will not simulate the illusion of dealing with a tribunal of justice."
"But, Mr. Rearden, the law provides specifically that you are to be given an opportunity to present your side of the case and to defend yourself."
"The law, by which you are trying me, holds that there are no principles, that I have no rights and that you may do with me whatever you please. Very well. Do it."
"Mr. Rearden, the law which you are denouncing is based on the highest principle - the principle of the public good."
"Who is the public? What does it hold as its good? There was a time when men believed that 'the good' was a concept to be defined by a code of moral values and that no man had the right to seek his good through the violation of the rights of another. If they believe that they may seize my property simply because they need it - well, so does any burglar. There is only this difference: the burglar does not ask me to sanction his act."
"Are we to understand that if the public deems it necessary to curtail your profits, you do not recognize its right to do so?"
"Why, yes, I do. The public may curtail my profits any time it wishes by refusing to buy my product."
"We are speaking of ... other methods."
"Any other method of curtailing profits is the method of looters and I recognize it as such."
"Mr. Rearden, this is hardly the way to defend yourself."
"I said that I would not defend myself."
"It is the opinion of this court that the facts presented by the prosecution seem to warrant no leniency. The penalty which this court has the power to impose on you is extremely severe."
"Go ahead."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Impose it."
The three judges looked at one another. Then their spokesman turned back to Rearden. "This is unprecedented," he said.
"The third and youngest judge, who had acted as prosecutor snapped impatiently, "This is ridiculous and unfair! Do you want to let it look as if a man of your prominence had been railroaded without a --"
He cut himself off short. Somebody at the back of the courtroom emitted a long whistle.
"I want," said Rearden gravely, "to let the nature of this procedure appear exactly for what it is. If you need my help to disguise it - I will not help you."
"But the law compels you to volunteer a defense!"
There was laughter at the back of the courtroom.
"If you choose to deal with men by means of compulsion, do so. Whatever you wish me to do, I will do it at the point of a gun. If you sentence me to jail, you will have to send armed men to carry me there. I will not volunteer to move. If you fine me, you will have to seize my property to collect the fine. I will not volunteer to pay it. If you believe that you have the right to force me, use your guns openly. I will not help you to disguise the nature of your action."
The eldest judge leaned forward across the table. His voice now suavely derisive: "You speak as if you were fighting for some sort of principle, Mr. Rearden, but what you're actually fighting for is only your property, isn't it?"
"Yes, of course. I am fighting for my property. Do you know the kind of principle that represents?"
"You pose as a champion of freedom, but it's only the freedom to make money that you're after."
"Yes, of course. All I want is the freedom to make money. Do you know what that freedom implies?"
"Surely, Mr. Rearden, you wouldn't want your attitude to be misunderstood. You wouldn't want to give support to the widespread impression that you are a man devoid of social conscience, who feels no concern for the welfare of his fellows and works for nothing but his own profit."
"I work for nothing but my own profit. I earn it."
There was a gasp, not of indignation, but of astonishment, in the crowd behind him and silence from the judges he faced. He went on calmly:
"No, I do not want my attitude to be misunderstood. I shall be glad to state it for the record. I am in full agreement with the facts of everything said about me in the newspapers. The facts, not the evaluation. I work for nothing but my own profit which I make by selling a product people need to men who are willing and able to buy it. I do not produce it for their benefit at my expense. They do not buy it for my benefit at their expense. We deal as equals by mutual consent to mutual advantage and I am proud of every penny I have earned.
"I am rich and I am proud of every penny I own. I made my money by my own effort, in free exchange and through the voluntary consent of every man I dealt with. The voluntary consent of those who employed me when I started. The voluntary consent of those who work for me now. The voluntary consent of those who buy my product.
"Mr. Rearden," said the eldest judge, smiling affably, reproachfully and spreading his arms, "it is regrettable that you should have misunderstood us so completely. That's the trouble; businessmen refuse to approach us in a spirit of trust and friendship. They seem to imagine that we are their enemies. We have no intention of seizing your property or destroying your life. We do not seek to harm your interests. We are fully aware of your distinguished achievements. Our purpose is only to balance social pressures and do justice to all. This hearing is really intended, not as a trial, but as a friendly discussion aimed at mutual understanding and co-operation."
"I do not co-operate at the point of a gun."
"Why speak of guns? This matter is not serious enough to warrant such references.
"Mr. Rearden," said the second judge, "you may not share some of our ideas, but when all is said and done, we're all working for the same cause. For the good of the people.
"No. I was prompted by my own profit and my own interests.
The judges retired to consider their verdict. They did not stay out long. They returned to an ominously silent courtroom. The judges announced that a fine of $5,000 was imposed on Henry Rearden, but that the sentence was suspended.
Streaks of jeering laughter ran through the applause that swept the courtroom. The applause was aimed at Rearden, the laughter at the judges.

this is amazing! i've probably read through this thing 10+ times, but skimming it over I can't find if your still on the stock transmission or not?
i'm still loving the new paint. the new pics make it show up even more clearly than the previous ones. question on wheels... is aftermarket wheel/tire fitment identical between WRX and STi (i realize the stock rim/tire sizes and bolt pattern are different). i am thinking about doing 18x9.5 +38 265/35 on the '11 STi HB. just wondering if i would only have to slightly roll the rears, as you did, or if i need to do more. again, great work on the Rex, it's looking absolutely sick!
I really want to paint my car this color now. That's hot ****.

Goodrich Corp, (NYSE:GR), a Fortune 500 company catering to the Aerospace and Defense industry, is to be bought by United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) for $127.50 per share in cash, which comes down to $18.4 billion, including around $1.9 billion in debt. The word of the deal was out last Wednesday (September 14), and it is pretty clear that the investors of Goodrich are apparently elated by the news, which shows in the 42.32% increase in its stock price.
"Goodrich delivers on all of our acquisition criteria. It is strategic to our core, has great technology and people, and strengthens our position in growth markets," said United Technologies Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Louis Chenevert. "We are very excited to bring the capabilities of two great companies together, making us more competitive and better able to provide value to both customers and shareholders."
The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goodrich, Marshall Larsen definitely is happy with the return to the Goodrich investors in the process. "We are extremely pleased to have an agreement with United Technologies that delivers immediate cash value to our shareholders at a premium that reflects the strength of our business," said Larsen.
But Goodrich was a smart investment in itself, I must say. The net revenue has been increasing for the last five years, up to $7 billion in 2010 from $5.7 billion in 2006. Although there was a disruption in the middle in 2008, it can be attributed to the Great Recession at its peak then. In fact, its operating margin standing at 14.33% is much better than 10.81% of Triumph Group (NYSE:TGI) and 8.52% of Honeywell International (NYSE:HON). Its return on average equity (ROAE), at 18.14%, is pretty high, compared with 9.76% for Esterline Tech Corp (NYSE:ESL) and 12.46% of HEICO Corp (NYSE:HEI). To outline Goodrich, it seems to be a good move for United Technologies, since Goodrich was already a strong contender in the same industry.
If we look at the performance of United Technologies, it recorded net sales of $54.3 billion in 2010. The debt-to-capital ratio stands at 32% (pretty controlled!), but should go up since the acquisition is to be supported by new debt and equity issuance, with the equity providing for 25% of the money. Its EBIT margin of 15.6% is much better compared with the 10.85% of Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:NOC) and 9.36% of Boeing (NYSE:BA).
The best thing is the market diversification of United Technologies, with 39% of sales in the US, 26% in Europe and 20% in Asia Pacific. This should provide for a stable future for United Technologies, notwithstanding the fact that its share of 21% in military, aerospace & space might go up, with the acquisition of Goodrich. So, thumbs up to United Technologies.
