Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and thank you for contacting Just Answer. I am an expert here and I look forward to assisting you today. If at any point any of my answers aren't clear please don't hesitate to ask for clarification.
Unfortunately, the likelihood that anyone is going to investigate is very low.
However, you can take your complains on up the chain of command at the city, like to the city council and the mayor, and you can also consider filing a complaint with the Justice Deaprtment.
There is no reason not to contact that website. I've heard of them but can't claim familiarity with them and so don't know what the likelihood is that they will be arrested.
If you incurred any damages due to the arrest, such as attorney's fees, the cost of a bail bond, lost wages, etc. you could also consider filing a civil right lawsuit against the officer and department.
I see. However the local ACLU or citizens rights watch group--might they be able to help me put pressure on the local PD to at least do an investigation? Unfortunately even if the Prof. standards unit at the local PD does investigate, they might be a bit bias anyway and not give me a fair shake
Another way to get an actual investigation done is to hire a lawyer who does civil rights cases and have them send a letter requesting an investigation. The city will know that failing to investigate makes them look very, very bad if there is a lawsuit filed.
I am in fact filing a civil rights lawsuit, with a limited scope rep. lawyer. However all the websites I read seem to recommend that first you report with the PD in question itself
The ACLU could be contacted but they have been really, really cutting back on their efforts in the last few years. I aasume due to budgetary reasons.
You can file a report yourself but most legal experts will tell you to have your lawyer file the request or prepare it and file it under your name since the letter requesting the investigation or reporting it will be evidence later. The lawyer can add the language that makes it "better evidence".
okay. that's all great information. Thanks for now...

I need to quickly and inexpensively create a network for transfering files between two computers. Laptop (Vista) getting internet over wifi (net not needed for this operation) and desktop(XP SP2). Is a crossover cable required or can I just ethernet them to each other (hasn't worked yet)? Are there special settings to configure or should something just pop up.

There may be no point in continuing to serve in a military devoid of values
Haim Misgav
Published: 08.08.07, 22:18 / Israel Opinion
Haim Misgav
The IDF is winning again. We can all get comfortable on the couch in front of our TV sets and watch the garbage we are being fed. The military commentators on all channels will be quick to update us, and everything will end before it even started.
Bitter end on the horizon
The Palestinian state that would be established, according to Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's vision, would enable the Palestinians to fire uninterruptedly at Kfar Saba, Hadera, and Herzliya, as well as other coastal plain communities, and all those fools who are sitting in government today will again ask themselves why is this happening to us.

A few days ago we reported on Sony's new PS3 / PSN site, and today TheSixthAxis.com (linked above) points out that it may be in preparation for an official PSN Smartphone application incoming.
To quote: What about a PSN smart phone App that will let you log in to your account on the go, queue up downloads, and generally always be connected to your PlayStation profile?
TSA reader bap10 thought he might enquire, asking SCEE:
Do you think we will ever see a mobile phone app for logging into the PSN to send messages and push demos and bought items to the PS3? Or even something along those lines for the PC?
Sony's response? Emmanuel Orssaud replied:
"I've got another post planned for this week which should answer your questions about the app. *wink*"

If you have DISH Network, you will not be able to watch the ASU at Oregon State football game Saturday. Your ability to watch many other Arizona sports teams in the near future may also be at risk.
Other sports programming as well as shows on FX and National Geographic will also be affected due to the fact that the two sides could not agree on a new contract by the midnight Thursday deadline.
"We've been attempting to negotiate with DISH for almost six months," said Mike Hopkins, President, Fox Networks Affiliate Sales and Marketing, in a statement released by the company. "We have made fair and reasonable proposals that are consistent with our agreements with hundreds of other cable and satellite companies with which DISH competes, and they have yet to engage in a constructive dialogue."
On the DISH Network website, the company states: "DISH Network L.L.C. reports today (Friday) that FOX Networks is blocking DISH Network's access to 19 FOX Regional Sports Networks and other programming. FOX is demanding a new contract with an unprecedented rate increase of more than 50 percent. FOX's removal of the channels follows the programmer's national TV, print and web advertising campaign designed to intimidate DISH Network and its customers into paying the rate increase. FOX has flatly refused DISH Network's request to allow customers to continue to watch these FOX channels during the negotiations."
Fox's Hopkins replied: "Their suggestion that we're seeking a 50 percent increase in programming fees is flatly wrong. It's completely disingenuous for DISH�a company that is on pace to extract more than $10 billion dollars in revenue and $3 billion in profits from its subscribers�to suggest that we are bullying their customers. Their tactics of promoting untrue accusations and removing programming is standard procedure for them."
A spokesman for Fox Sports Network said about 15 percent of television viewers in Arizona and New Mexico subscribe to DISH Network. Fox Sports Arizona, the regional Fox carrier in the Valley, will go black for DISH Network subscribers because of the impasse.
ASU's Pac-10 road game at Oregon State, kicking off at 3:30 p.m., is just one of the events affected.
As of Nov. 1, DISH Network subscribers could lose also KSAZ, the over-the-air Fox affiliate in Phoenixand as well as My 45 (KUTP ).
That could potentially impact six Arizona Cardinals games carried by Fox as well as many Phoenix Suns games, which are carried by FSAZ when they're at home and by My45 when they're on the road, and, the Phoenix Coyotes, who make their season debut on FSAZ on Oct. 16.
There are about 14.3 million DISH Network customers nationwide.
Fox's statement goes on to say: "DISH's actions will deny fans more than 5,000 live sporting events over the coming year featuring the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, Major League Baseball, and college football and basketball. The 19 Fox regional sports networks that DISH has dropped include: FOX Sports Arizona, FOX Sports Carolinas, FOX Sports Detroit, FOX Sports Florida, FOX Sports Houston, FOX Sports Indiana, FOX Sports Kansas City, FOX Sports Midwest, FOX Sports North, FOX Sports Ohio, FOX Sports Oklahoma, FOX Sports Southwest, FOX Sports South, FOX Sports Tennessee, FOX Sports West, FOX Sports Wisconsin, Prime Ticket, SportSouth, and Sun Sports.

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor's Reading Festival experience was soured on Sunday following a dispute with promoters and headliners Biffy Clyro.
The rocker was clearly unhappy with the end of his weekend festival run in Britain when he took to Twitter.com to complain about the band's "production" before hitting the stage on Sunday.
Reznor grumbled, "Should be an unusual show tonight at Reading… the lying promoter and the band following us (whoever the f**k they are) f**ked us on our production."
It is not clear exactly what production issues are nagging the Nine Inch Nails leader, whose band performed at Reading's sister festival Leeds on Friday night on the same bill as Biffy Clyro, but event boss Melvin Benn insists there's no drama.
He states, "The truth is there's no truth in the statement. The contract hasn't changed since they (Nine Inch Nails) signed up to it."

Siemens AG (NYSE: SI), the German engineering company, reported a $1.7 billion quarterly loss, which included a large write-down of its telecom equipment in a joint venture with Nokia (NYSE: NOK). Last year's quarterly loss was $3.72 billion. Revenues dropped by 9% to $29.74 billion this quarter from last year's fourth quarter, with the company emphasizing a challenging year ahead.
IN PICTURES: 20 Tools For Building Up Your Portfolio
Challenging Year Next, Troubled Past Year
Siemens' write-down last year of $5 billion included a $2.4 billion legal settlement of its corporate bribery scandal. Scandal aside, Siemens' recent results, given the industrial and manufacturing sectors in Europe and globally are still feeling the recession's effects, were not out of line with its competitors. Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG), Siemens' large European electrical-industrial competitor, has struggled with profitability issues this year, though its operations were improving as it worked through 2009. Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR), another diversified electrical conglomerate, also continued to have revenues off significantly in its last earnings report.
Ugly Numbers In A Good Business
Some of Siemens' segments performed well, as its energy, healthcare and industry groups raised operating profits from a year ago from $2.3 billion to $2.87 billion, a 25% increase. Though the company had a 9% dropoff in overall sales, it still had a hefty order backlog of $122 billion, though orders did decline 16% in the Q4.
What to make of these mixed numbers? Siemens and other giant industrial and manufacturing conglomerates are windows on the economy's health - in this case both the European and global economies. Siemens manufactures things such as power turbines, hospital equipment and is involved with industrial automation. These require large expenditures by other companies and industries, so the recession and the slashing of capital expenditures was certain to be felt heavily by Siemens. This should be cyclical, as in the case of ABB (NYSE: ABB), the large Swiss power company whose stock was mentioned as attractive even in this lousy earnings climate. Likewise Emerson, despite its recent revenue decline, is a well-managed company due to its long-established culture, so it should do well when recovery happens. Philips, despite its sluggish year, should benefit from the expected increase in the growing market for LED lighting technology.
Do These Companies Need A Jolt?
With most of these conglomerates heavily involved in electricity such as power and lighting, as well as manufacturing-related activities with heavy equipment used in power transmission and other industrial uses, a return to profitability should be on the horizon, as these companies' products are ultimately industrial economic necessities. Siemens predicted the first half of next year will still be particularly slow for its businesses, but at some point next year it is expected that an uptick in activity will kick in for Siemens and the others. Siemens also is involved in healthcare, as is Philips, as they manufacture diagnostic medical equipment. So with healthcare business being a long-term constant, this segment should help stabilize or even improve business results as we get into recovery.
Stock Up Yet On Siemens?
As for the stocks, with Siemens and the others, if you're investing on fundamentals, you might want to wait for a definite upturn in the business and even see some positive earnings so you can get a better gauge on how much you actually have to pay for those earnings.

Good news, new challenges
Campaign 2010
Fiscal issues were paramount in this year's election, but it's worth noting that the next Congress will be stronger in pro-life numbers and leadership. The Susan B. Anthony List targeted purportedly pro-life Democrats who voted for the Obama healthcare bill with its potential funding of abortion-and helped to knock off 14 of the inconsistent. Americans United for Life Action was 11 for 12 in the congressional races on which it focused.
National Right to Life, CitizenLink (Focus on the Family's political wing), and the Family Research Council also spent money and claimed success. They sent a message to congressmen and senators up for reelection next time: Don't tread on unborn babies! And when healthcare debates arise during the next two years, the House will have more pro-life doctors: Dan Benishek of Michigan, Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee, and Larry Bucshon of Indiana were among those elected.
Along these lines, it's also worth nothing that Republicans need to do a lot better among youthful voters, and a strong pro-life stand should not at all hurt in that regard: People under 30 tend to be more pro-life than those over 30. To win elections down the road, conservatives and Christians need breakthroughs among young voters. Barack Obama two years ago caused a surge in voting among 18-to-29-year-olds: They made up 18 percent of the electorate in 2008 but only 11 percent in 2010. Lasting victories depend upon voters coming out, not staying home: The youth vote-probably sadder, maybe wiser-will be back for the next presidential election.
Conservatives continue to have mediocre support from Hispanics and even less from African-Americans, even though both groups tend to be more pro-life than white voters overall. The Senate victory of Florida's Marco Rubio and the House victory of South Carolina's Tim Scott are important in that regard: Scott is the first African-American Republican elected from the Deep South in over a century, and he had support both from pro-lifers and Tea Party folks.

Process and job control
Full Workload
What is happening on your Linux machine? Various shell commands give you details about system processes and help you control them.
Whenever you or an application launch a program, the operating system starts one or multiple processes. These processes can enter various states: They can be processed, stopped, restarted, and – under normal circumstances – stopped again. Linux has something similar to access controls for processes: Only the user that started a process can stop, restart, or terminate the process.
The only exception to this rule is the root user, who can control any process on a system. On top of this are processes that run on system user accounts, such as nobody or lp – again, only root has full access to them. In this issue, I will be looking at tools that help you find out more about, and control, processes.
One Big Family
Processes are never isolated and are always in good company. In fact, they are in a hierarchical structure, with process number 1, init, at the top. init is the first process that Linux launches after booting. All other processes share this common "ancestor" – init starts the operating system's basic programs. pstree shows the relationship between "parent" and "child" processes. This tree structure shows you at a glance who is descended from whom (Figure 1).
Additional Output
The tool gives you more detailed output if you set the -a flag. This tells pstree to show you, in addition, the parameters with which the programs are running.
If you use a terminal that supports different fonts and bold type, such as Gnome Terminal or KDE's Konsole, you might also want to try the -h parameter. This tells pstree to highlight its own process and its ancestors.
If you would like to use this practical feature for other processes, use -H with the process ID, and pstree will highlight the specified process and its family tree. Setting the -p option tells pstree to output the process ID (PID), and -u gives you the user.
All of these parameters can be combined – for example, pstree -apu.
Listing Processes with ps
The ps command gives you a list of the processes currently running on your system. If you do not specify any command-line parameters, the tool will restrict the list to the current shell. If you are interested in all of your processes, call ps with the x option (Listing 1).
Listing 1
01 $ ps x 02 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 03 3011 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-session 04 3061 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/gnome-session 05 [...] 06 3086 ? Ssl 0:02 gnome-panel --sm-client-id default1 07 3088 ? Ssl 0:02 nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default2
The tabular output in the shell tells you the following characteristics:
- PID: The process identifier, a unique number that you can use to reference a process individually.
- TTY: The terminal or console on which the process was started. A question mark indicates that the process is not running on a terminal.
- STAT: The process status. The states can be S (sleeping), R (running), D (dead, the process cannot be restarted), or Z (zombie, a process that has terminated without correctly returning its return status).
- TIME: The computational time used.
- COMMAND: The full command with all of its command-line options.
The ps command offers a number of additional options for adding more information to the output. For example, u shows the process owner and CPU cycles or memory percentage, and a gives you a list of all processes for all users. The l option is also practical – this lengthy output gives you additional information on the PPID (parent process identifier) and on the UID (user identification) of the user who launched the process.
To display what can be fairly lengthy command-line parameters in the COMMAND column, you might want to set w for wider output, and you can use the option multiple times. As shown in Figure 2, you can combine these parameters as needed.
ps displays the full set of command-line parameters in the COMMAND column. Some programs, such as the wget download manager, optionally accept passwords for authentication in the shell. The password also appears as a command in the process list; theoretically, any user on the system could sniff sensitive data.

This question comes up here now & then, so I thought I'd post info from today's Grand Rapids Press for anyone interested:
" ... Bicyclists can ride the bridge June 12 or Sept 18 as part of two-day spring and fall Shoreline Scenic Tours sponsored by the Mackinaw Area Chamber of Commerce. Each event includes a ride along the Lake Michigan shoreline on a Saturday, followed by a Sunday sunrise pedal across the Straits.
For Information, contact the Mackinaw Area Chamber of Commerce, (888) 455-8100, or online at www.mackinawchamber.com.
Riders also cross the bridge Sept. 4 at the conclusion of the DALMAC, a five-day ride from Lansing to St. Ignace. That tour is fully subscribed for this year (www.dalmac.org).... "
In the past, the Shoreline Scenic Tours crossing has been south to north (Mackinaw City to St. Ignace) as a one-way trip only - I presume it's the same this year....

Time is probably the most precious and limited resource we have. In spite of our best efforts, time is unyielding -- no one can stop it, slow it down, or truly save it. It is the rare person who has enough time to do all the things that he or she wants to do. For some reason, we keep adding "just one more thing," and forget to eliminate others. The result is an ever-increasing time crunch. Do you take on too much, have difficulty saying "no" to extra demands, and fail to set priorities?
Paths to success
Considering how important goals are, it is amazing that goal-setting is not taught in schools. The biggest dreamers and most successful people -- whether in sports, the arts, business or science -- started with a dream, a driving purpose or inspiring vision.
Big-picture dreams are wonderful things. They inspire and excite, but left alone, they rarely create. Turn your dreams, intentions, and desires into firm, achievable goals. Specific, measurable, realistic plans are the building blocks to living your dreams. Not set in stone or intended to be inflexible weights around your neck, goals do make it easier to stay on track and resist temptations that may sidetrack you in directions you do not wish to go.
Plan yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily. The secret to successful planning is to allow extra time for unexpected situations, and not over-commit or over-book yourself. Establish priorities on your activities so that at the end of each day, you have done the most important things. Planning long projects by breaking them down into bite-sized pieces will help you dedicate a few minutes each day to important high-value activities that carry future due dates. By getting ahead on projects, you are less likely to have last-minute crises and time crunches.
Focus on yourself
Beware of creeping bad habits that can sabotage your best efforts. Recognize subconscious patterns that can make you your own worst enemy. Whether it is trying to keep everything in your head, versus making a list, being constantly late because you wanted to do just one more thing before leaving for the meeting or being easily distracted, you can change your habits.
Keep one job in front of you at a time. There is a fantasy that people multi-task. Actually, what people do is one task interrupted by another. It is nearly impossible to do two things equally well, simultaneously.
The best way to save time is not to speed up and attempt to jam more and more into a crowded schedule. The best way to do more is to do less. Saying "no" and delegating more are two important strategies. Saying "no" more often, will allow you to say "yes" to your priorities and to participate fully when you volunteer. Eliminate unnecessary and inappropriate activities. Those can creep in if you do not pay attention.
Identify those areas of greatest stress, and begin to make changes. A continual high-stress high-rush style can cause health problems, not to mention sleep and interpersonal difficulties. For example, make decisions quickly. Rarely does delay improve the quality of the choice. Over-analysis can be seductive and also stress-producing. Keep in mind that nearly all decisions must be made with imperfect information.
Focus on others
Control interruptions, time wasters and distractions. Whether at work, at home, or in a home-based business, these are insidious. Look for patterns in interruptions. Often, they are caused by a breakdown in a system, process or function. Low-priority items often masquerade as important things that require your immediate attention; however, they will often take care of themselves without your intervention. As a test of this, consider all the things that do not wait for your return from vacation. Somehow they get handled.
Manage your staff effectively. Delegate regularly. It serves as a training tool, and helps make others' jobs more interesting. Actively look for things that your staff does well, and let them do more of it. Employees are more often limited by our ability than by their own.

I've read several comments here and elsewhere suggesting that Erlang's process dictionary was a bad idea and should die. Normally, as a total Erlang newbie, I'd just avoid it. However, in this situation my other options aren't great.
I have a main dispatcher function that looks something like this:
dispatch(State) ->
{cmd1, Params} ->
NewState = do_cmd1_stuff(Params, State),
{cmd2, Params} ->
NewState = do_cmd2_stuff(Params, State),
BadMsg ->
Obviously, my names are more meaningful to me, but that's the gist of it. Deep down in a function called by a function called by a function called by do_cmd2_stuff(), I want to send out messages to all my users telling them about something I've done. In order to do that, I need to get the list of users from the point where I send the messages. The user list doesn't lend itself easily to sticking in the global state, since that's just one data structure representing the only block of data on which I operate.
The way I see it, I have a couple unpleasant options other than using the process dictionary. I can send the user list through all the various levels of functions down to the very bottom one that does the broadcasting. That's unpleasant because it causes all my functions to gain a parameter, whether they really care about it or not.
Alternatively, I could have all the
do_cmdN_stuff() functions return a message to send. That's not great either though, since sending the message may not be the last thing I want to do and it clutters up my dispatcher with a bunch of
{Msg, NewState} tuples. Furthermore, some of the functions might not have any messages to send some of the time.
Like I said earlier, I'm very new to Erlang. Maybe someone with more experience can point me at a better way. Is there one? Is the process dictionary appropriate in this case?

Re: NLSP and Frame Relay posted 09/24/2001
Two other caveats to remember with IPXWAN: - you must configure an ipx internal network number - there cannot be an IPX address on the serial interface you plan to configure Regarding multiple logical interfaces referencing the same PVC, this is not possible.

Next question, I haven't had time to test this in a lab yet but can a DLCI referenced by IP on one logical subinterface be used on another subinterface by another protocol? e.g. IP multipoint interface but two IPX p-t-p subinterfaces using the same DLCI's via frame map commands? I think so and will try later but was interested to se if anyone had already tried this or not.

What is method by reflection in Java reflection API?
While the wording of this question may not have been the greatest (I wasn't given a chance to edit it, since I was busy answering... :-P), the content is quite valid.
Before JDK 1.6 the only ways to dynamically access a given class instance were the reflection API and byte code compilation. Reflection is slow, byte code compilation is complex.
In 1.6 we gained the ability to put Java source code in a string and compile it dynamically. This performs significantly better than reflection (30% in our tests), and the method is not entirely obvious.
So, as the question asked, "what can I use besides reflection", and given that we had asked ourselves the exact same question a few weeks ago, I had a valid answer to what was to me a very specific question. In fact, I was able to post a source code example, which to me indicates that the question was specific enough.
Now, I can't vote to reopen, or I would. But my opinion and suggestion is that this question be reopened.

The story of Landon Donovan's seven-week stay in England with Everton can be told, in some form, through the Galaxy captain's tweets.

Monster EnergyTear into a can of the meanest energy supplement on the planet, MONSTER energy. We went down to the lab and cooked up a double shot of our killer energy brew. It´s a wicked mega hit that delivers twice the buzz of a regular energy drink. MONSTER packs a vicious punch but has a smooth flavor you can really pound down.
The Juice is Loose…
The magical smells in the air driving to the Monster Energy Pipeline Pro Surf competition on the North Shore of Oahu was our inspiration for new Monster Ripper.
We started with a killer combo of local tropical juices, added in some original Monster flavour, then pumped it up with a full load of our potent Monster Energy blend.
Monster Ripper… a radical "Juice Monster" hybrid with explosive flavour and the big bad Monster buzz you will love!
Absolute Zero
People have been blowin' up our inbox for years asking for a zero calorie Monster. We got it, but this ain't soda pop, dude!
Making a zero calorie, zero sugar drink, that's good enough to earn the Monster M ain't that easy.
Finally with a re-tooled energy blend, new sweetener system and after hundreds of failed flavors, we absolutely got it right!
Monster Absolutely Zero: helps fight fatigue, improve mental performance and focus, and motivates you to work ( I mean play ) harder, so generally you feel pretty damn good.
The DoctorMotoGP Champion Valentino Rossi has thrilled fans around the world, with over 100 victories and 9 world Championships.
We teamed up with Valentino, AKA "The Doctor" ™ to create our fastest Monster ever. With a light, crisp, refreshing citrus flavour and a full load of our legendary Monster Energy blend, it will get you up to speed in a hurry!
UltraSome people are impossible to please. As soon as they get what they thought they wanted they always want more. Our team riders and Monster Girls are no different… they've been dropping some hints lately.
They've been asking us for a new Monster drink. A little less sweet, lighter-tasting, zero calories, but with a full load of our Monster energy blend.
Sure, white is the new black. We went all out: Monster Energy Ultra. Unleash the Ultra Beast!

4 hour recovery (??) ride.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge, you're a tremendous slouch.
Looking forward to my ride tomorrow morning before work, mainly because it should be sub-50.
This may be the first time that I've had my knees and fingers covered since very early in the year. How exciting.
Also thx for all the bday replies in that other thread. I hadn't checked bf for a minute there.

I got 1 hr in tonight. little chilly here. Core work and stretching followed.
I'm sure when you were getting to the point of blowing nothing was obvious but making the pain stop...I don't know about you but after the fact I always look back at those moments and think 'why didn't I just keep going' but at the time there wasn't enough oxygen on the planet to make me take one more pedal stroke.

did you ever tell us if you are turning 24 or 25?
First ride after a couple of weeks off the bike due to a pesky ankle twinge. I was just glad I didn't feel winded and slow; the foot was ok but I'm still going to get it checked out.
I like pie
1 hour ez today - first ride back after the state champs 2 weeks ago. Felt weird but awesome and before long the legs were turning normally. Definitely feel like bricks though. Tomorrow'll be a couple hours but nothing too obsurd for the first week back
1.5 hrs upper zone 2 this AM. Deadlifts up to 3x5 @ 255 yesterday, along with dips and pullups.

4:45am: 45' of tempo w/Breaking Bad (the RV is now squished S3/E7)
lunch: ZCI 6x5x1 went really well. Last time I was around the 315W mark, but this time was 325, 320, 322, 320, 325, 338. I let up a bit for 2/3/4 because I thought my legs were setting me up for an ambush.
This likely puts my threshold up 10% in the last 12 weeks.

Determine textual likeness with Language Style Matching
An interface for using Language Style Matching to determine the likeness of different texts and their authors.
npm install lsm
Initialize an LSM object with a text sample, and then use
compare to compare it to other LSM objects, or
combine to merge LSM objects.
Here we'll compare likeness based on two diaries:
var LSM = require('lsm').LSM
// text samples
, my_text = require('./my_diary')
, your_text = require('./your_diary');
// lsm objects
, my_lsm = new LSM(my_text)
, your_lsm = new LSM(your_text);
// your likeness: a number between 0 and 1,
// where 1 is identical and 0 is no similarity
You can calculate likeness amongst groups by combining multiple LSM objects with
var other_text = require('./mountains_of_madness')
, other_lsm = new LSM(other_text)
, our_lsm = my_lsm.combine(your_lsm);
// our combined likeness to a third text sample.
npm test
Language Style Matching (LSM) uses function words -- like conjunctions, pronouns, prepositions, etc. -- as proxies for the author's personality. LSM calculates likeness between people and texts by comparing how much of a text function words constitute.
In research, LSM has proven a resilient indicator of compatibility in romance, friendship, and business.

Deborah Hansen is the winemaker at Cougar Crest Estate Winery. Her first career began in the 1970′s as a pharmacist with a degree from Washington State University. The scientific preparation for being a pharmacist just happens to be a perfect match for the preparation to be a winemaker. Back in the 1970′s this connection was a long time from being discovered. True love intervened and Deborah married veterinarian David Hansen, also a graduate of Washington State University; their careers took them to the San Francisco area for almost 20 years.
While living in the Bay Area, they discovered a mutual love of wine, and agriculture and made plans to "move home" in the future. Northern California was burgeoning with wineries from Mendocino to Santa Barbara. Time off was spent being a wine tourist, studying the differences that terrior and winemaking styles can have on finished wine. While working and raising children in California, the Hansen's were busy making plans in the Walla Walla Valley, buying several small farms and planting apple orchards in the hopes of moving home some day.
In 1996, the dream became a reality and the family moved home. Raising children on the farms in a small community seemed idyllic until the apple markets plummeted, resulting in some difficult choices. The love of wine led to the decision to remove orchards and plant vineyards. The Hansens became a part of the wine community first by raising grapes, which led to dabbling in winemaking. Suddenly it was obvious that being a pharmacist had been the perfect training for winemaking. Deborah and David became consumed with plans to have their own winery, and it was apparent that Deborah had the skills for becoming the winemaker. She went back to school at UC Davis to take specialized enology classes. She found new passion for learning and the desire to excel at this ancient art of winemaking. It is the discovery of new wines and the challenges of new vintages that excite Deborah in her new career as winemaker at Cougar Crest Estate Winery.
Cougar Crest wine is perfect for your next special occasion or just because!

Cougar Crest operates three vineyards in the Walla Walla valley.
Cougar Hills Vineyard is located adjacent to the site of the original Seven Hills Vineyard planted 28 years ago that began the Walla Walla legacy of quality vineyards and wine grape production.
Golden's Legacy is named for the medical doctor who built the home in which Dave and Debbie now live. Dr. Golden and planted white wine grapes during Prohibition, and as a medical doctor he was able to prescribe wine for "medicinal purposes."
Rock Bottom is our newest vineyard and is a stones throw away from Cougar Hills Vineyard. It shares the same soil characteristics and weather similarities as Cougar Hills Vineyard, but four feet below the silt-loam surface soil there lies a rocky gravel bed that provides excellent water drainage.

Visit Lesbian Army
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
The pink platoon, the gay militia and the Lesbian Army are all phrases I heard growing up about the homosexual men and women in my area. Evidently, the makers of this site heard those expressions as well as they have taken one of them and spun them into a site with a very unique approach.
LesbianArmy is more than just a sitename, it's the whole premise of the site. As you'll see on the tour and later in the members' area, the setup is that of a militia comprised solely of cute, tight-bodied hotties who are commanded by hard-driving task masters. The stark yellow and black design, besides being unappealing, is also awkward to navigate, because although there is only one page to scroll through, the bonus content is thrown in among the main content.
For example, you will see more than twice the 21 videos that actually belong to the site, which makes a quite small collection appear a lot bigger. At any rate, the vids are available for download in Windows Media files that provide mostly average-quality playback, although some are good in quality. The scenes run 20 to 25 minutes each.
There's an aggressiveness that pervades the scenes, whether it's a new recruit being tied against the wall, forced to suck on a massive strapon, made to run around an obstacle course naked or getting on their hands and knees and digging a trench. If the interplay of female power gets you warm and fuzzy inside, you'll find a lot to enjoy about this site.
The performers speak another language and there are no subtitles. In a lot of cases, this isn't an issue because once he sex starts you stop caring about where it comes from. A part of the allure with this material, however, is the female commanders barking orders at their cadets and listening to the cadets apologize or express devotion. Watching the scenes, you get a sense of it, but not the full impact unless you understood the language.
Most videos come with a gallery of pics, while others have vid caps. The 21 photo galleries provide massive, super high-res pics that are some of the best parts of the site. The size of the galleries vary wildly, from as few as 20 to as many as 150 images in a set. Zip files are not included.
Updates ended way back in 2011 it would seem. Membership grants you access to Special Exercises, which features more lesbian content.

|Over 30 trucks featured at fair show
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 30 August 2012 16:10
The Chase County Fair Truck Show generated considerable interest. All participants took home something, Tinker Raasch said, as $12,000 in gifts were donated.
By Carolyn Lee
The Imperial Republican
The Truck Show at the Chase County Fair left its mark in more ways than one. A number of the big rigs drove in the parade, and black marks on the street in front of Chase County Schools are a testament to the "burnout" held during the show.
Organizer Tinker Raasch said about 32 trucks participated in the show. There were 38 in last year's show.
Raasch said, in her opinion, 12-year old Charnie Disher of Commerce City, Colo. won the burnout, where trucks spin their wheels in place.
People voted for their favorite trucks. The top 20 are as follows:
Top 10—Ernie and Carol Bates, Burlington, Colo.; Spike Fuller, Broomfield, Colo.; Tim Powell, Yuma, Colo.; Eric Becker, Enders, Neb.; Larry Raasch, Champion, Neb.; Gary Disher, Commerce City, Colo.; Todd Stockman, Eaton, Colo.; Kevin Way, Lamar, Neb.; Kevin Burr, Grant, Neb.; Russ Reichart, Benkelman, Neb.; Jeremy Bley, Wauneta, Neb.; Kelly Beard, Imperial, Neb.; Shawn Malony, Holyoke, Colo.; Lyndon Mock, Enders, Neb.; Justin Mason, North Platte, Neb.; Steve Grams, Imperial, Neb.; Aaron Smith, Goodland, Kan.; Brock Stromberger, Champion, Neb.; Mike Schiltz, Imperial, Neb.; Jim Disher, Commerce City, Colo.
After the Truck Burnout contest kids ran over to see the chunks of rubber left after the contest.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (NNS) -- Competitiveness. Mentality. Fitness. Team chemistry.
These are the aspects women's soccer coach and 1996 Olympic gold medal-winner Carin Gabarra feels contributed to her team's record-breaking season.
"Most importantly, our senior leadership was a major factor," she said. "They work hard to help each other earn more time on the field."
Seniors Nadia Sheikh, Kara Hardebeck, Kristen Hansen and Marie Kissil were recognized for their contributions to the team in a ceremony Nov. 4 before their match against Robert Morris.
Sheikh, the team's captain and Navy's all-time career assists leader, has been playing soccer since the second grade. She hopes to become a surface warfare officer (SWO) after graduation, but never anticipated a career in the Navy.
"I didn't know (the academy) existed until I was recruited for soccer," she said. "I visited and loved it."
Hardebeck didn't know about Navy soccer until she was recruited, either. She started playing soccer at age 5 and also plans to pursue a career in surface warfare.
Kissil and Hansen began their soccer careers at age 6, and agree that they are both "a little sad to be leaving." Kissil plans to become a SWO, while Hansen, the "lone non-SWO in the group," plans to become a naval aviator.
The team boasts many top-notch players, including juniors Stacy Finley and Amelia Sheveland, the team's top scorers. Finley was recently named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight year, and Sheveland was named to the All-Patriot League Second Team with sophomore goalkeeper Kim Bonafede. Finley, Sheikh and Xochitl Piedra were named to the First Team.
Finley, who hopes to join many of her teammates in the surface warfare community, started playing soccer at the age of 5. "I knew I wanted to play in college, but I didn't know which school."
She has always played soccer. Sheveland, on the other hand, "weeded through many other sports," including a year on Navy's track team, but decided to concentrate on soccer.
Unlike Sheveland and Finley, sophomores Piedra, Stephanie Parker and Emma Hagen all participated in other sports, such as basketball and track. Hagen "just played soccer for fun" most of her life, until she ended up at the academy.
They still have time to decide what career paths they hope to follow, but Piedra hopes to be a part of explosive ordnance disposal, or EOD, and Hagen is looking to the skies for her goal of "flying Navy." Parker, on the other hand, said, "I'm waiting to see what happens after summer training."
Until the team's defeat in the first round of the Patriot League tournament, Navy was only one of two undefeated teams in the nation, and the only undefeated team for 24 hours after Charlotte lost during the Conference USA tournament.
While they did not receive the at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, the team can be happy knowing they broke several school records, including shutouts.
The team can also boast a 19-game unbeaten streak and the lowest goals allowed average as a team, as well as Bonafede's individual record for lowest goals allowed.
With the youngest defense in the country and several nationally-ranked and league honored players, Navy women's soccer is staying strong and ready for the challenges of next season.
"I couldn't be happier," said Gabarra.

Introducing African American Religionoffers a creative and unique approach to the history of African American religion. Moving beyond institutional history that dominates other books, this volume provides a reader-friendly depiction of the major issues, themes, and problems confronted by African Americans involved in a variety of traditions. Drawing on cultural developments such as hip hop culture, this book links the language and activities of African American religious experience to the cultural worlds in which African Americans live. Moving from the period of slavery and the early arrangement of religious thought and practice within communities of enslaved Africans, through the more recent growth in the number of African American 'Nones', this volume traces what it has meant to be African American and religious within the context of the United States. Key terms, central questions, and highlighted themes frame the book and provide a vital snapshot of some of the traditions that have shaped the religious imagination of the country. Features such as a glossary and timeline help students to become familiar with the main terms of the traditions discussed and to place their development in historical context.

Essentially a horror film for the white-collar workers over 50, The Company Men follows three suits (Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper) trying to come to terms with widespread downsizing at their company. Relatable (especially during these tough economic times), yes, but only for those who can relate to people who make well over six figures a year, live in beautiful mansions, fly around in private jets and belong to the most prestigious of country club golf courses. The film does touch on the depressing blue-collar lifestyle as well (so if you're making under a hundred grand a year, there's your "in"), and by the time we're handed an overall message that it's not what you do, but who you do it for, The Company Men breezes past its finish line with relative ease before leaving its audience to call home to say I love you.
It's not really important to know who held which job, just know that there's a chain of command at the billion-dollar global shipping company GTX and Bobby Walker (Affleck) is at the bottom of a group of managers who's first to be let go. Cocky, arrogant and convinced he'll land a new job within hours, Walker slowly heads down a grim path that eventually downgrades his upper middle class lifestyle significantly when it becomes impossible for him to land another gig. But with guidance from his loving wife (Rosemarie DeWitt) and a ball-busting brother-in-law (Kevin Costner in a scene-stealing performance), Walker rebounds enough to straighten out his priorities and become the film's most redeeming character.
As far as everyone else goes ... well, there's always stock options ... right?
Above Walker at the company is Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper), a veteran who started out building ships way back in the day before climbing the corporate ladder all the way to executive status. Because of his position, Woodward manages to dodge the first round of layoffs, but becomes increasingly more paranoid as the company starts to fall apart -- turning to his pal Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones), a senior vice president at GTX, for comfort, guidance and any sort of empty promises that his job will be safe. McClary, on the other hand, is more than well off with his giant mansion and private jet access, but his journey – which includes watching his friends and colleagues lose their jobs, while others, like the company's CEO (Craig T. Nelson), continue to rake in upwards of $22 million a year -- is more about self-discovery and reconnecting with the kind of hunger one has when they start from square one.
The ensemble cast full of heavyweights doing what they do best is really what drives this film and makes it worth your time because, let's face it, we've lived with and in this economy for awhile now, and we really don't need to watch fictional characters deal with the after-effects of downsizing since most of us have already been there, done that. But as the popularity of similar-themed films like Up in the Air has proved, moviegoers seem to be finding some sort of strange, therapeutic comfort in these all-too-real storylines that hit dangerously close to home. You might not be making $160 grand like Affleck's Bobby Walker, but you can probably relate to the kind of struggle that comes with not being to afford next month's mortgage payment.
Veteran TV writer-director-producer John Wells makes his feature directional debut here, and he does a solid enough job painting this seriously bleak film with enough heart and humor to keep you "in it" through the end credit scroll. Is there anything new to discover here? No. Will you find it hard to relate to the poor six-figure suits who have to sell their Porsche's in order to get by? Yes. But the familiar cast and quick script make it so this flick just barely slips by without a pink slip

I am retiling my bathroom floor and need to replace the subfloor to accomodate the new tile.
I removed the toilet and want to start replacing the plywood subfloor, however I'm not sure how to remove the toilet flange so that I can lay the new plywood properly and get a nice tight fit around the drain. The drain pipe appears to be 3" copper Type L (the flange ring also looks to be copper). If this is similar to working with smaller copper supply pipe (which I have experience with), I was thinking I could heat up the "bend" fitting below the subfloor and just pull out the flange once the solder melts. Then I could "resweat" the joint when I want to put the flange back after I'm done. However, I've never worked with pipe this thick and didn't know if I was biting off more than I could chew. Does this sound like a good plan? Thanks for any help.
Use a turbo tip that will do 3-4" copper. If you have a presta-lite outfit, you can buy an adapter that screws into the presta lite torch handle. Go to your plumbing supply and ask them for a "Goss" turbo tip adapter. You will also need to buy the tip, and they are expensive. This tip in question can cost around $40.00 to 50.00. Your regular propane handheld tank is not going to generate enough temperature for this type of job. The turbo tips can generate temps of 2500 degrees F, so make sure you wear thick heavy gloves, and most important safety glasses.

Ahead of second quarter monetary policy review, Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan today met Finance Minister P Chidambaram and discussed macroeconomic situation.
"I discussed whole set of issues with the Finance Minister including state of economy," Rajan told reporters after the meeting here.
Raghuram Rajan, who was Chief Economic Advisor in the Finance Ministry before taking over as RBI Governor on September 4, is scheduled to announce the second-quarter monetary policy review on October 29.
High inflation offers Raghuram Rajan limited scope to cut key rates as demanded by industry to spur growth.
Rising food prices, especially of onion and other vegetables, pushed up September inflation to 7-month high of 6.46 per cent.
The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) based inflation rose for the fourth month in a row. Inflation was 6.1 per cent in August and 5.85 per cent (revised upward from 5.79 per cent) in July. In September last year, it was 8.07 per cent.
The sharpest increase was in onion prices which jumped by 322.94 per cent in September, over the same month last year.
In its last policy review on September 20, a hawkish RBI raised the policy rate by 0.25 per cent as it kept its focus on controlling inflation.
The repo rate or the short term lending rate has been increased by 25 basis points to 7.5 per cent from 7.25 per cent.
At the same time, the central bank is faced with the issue of moderation in growth.
"The government measures on economy are showing results and government will continue to take measures," Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram said here.
Earlier this month, the World Bank slashed India's economic growth forecast for the current financial year to 4.7 per cent from an earlier projection of 6.1 per cent.
International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its World Economic Outlook, projected an average growth rate of about 3.75 per cent for India in 2013-14, which is expected to pick up to 5.1 per cent next year.

Cullington Nears Home-Run Mark For UMass Softball Squad
May 1, 2007
Cullington Nears Home-Run Mark For UMass Softball Squad
by Matt Vautour, Daily Hampshire Gazette
AMHERST - Stacy Cullington isn't trying to hit home runs. She's not trying to break any records. The University of Massachusetts junior second baseman is just trying to hit the ball hard.
"If you try to hit a home run, it will almost never happen," she said. "In my mind I'm just trying to hit line drives."
Still a lot of those line drives are clearing fences. Cullington who had 12 home runs in her first two seasons combined, hit her 13th and 14th of the season in the second game of the Minutewomen's doubleheader against George Washington Sunday.
That tied her with UMass assistant coach KJ Kelley, who set the UMass single-season mark with 14 home runs in 2005. Cullington, who was named Atlantic 10 player of the week, will get a chance to break it today when the Minutewomen (29-12-1, 14-0 A-10) host Boston College at 5 p.m. at the UMass Softball Complex.
Kelley is rooting for her mark to fall.
"Records are meant to be broken," Kelley said. "It's great to see. It's fun being there, helping her and coaching her."
Kelley was among the first to congratulate Cullington when she crossed the plate Sunday.
"She said 'You better break my record. I'll be mad at you if you don't,'" Cullington said. "Sunday she gave me a big hug. She said, 'This one doesn't matter. It's the next one that counts.'"
Cullington is trying to take the approach that none of them matter, but she's not getting much help.
"I try not to talk about the record. I don't want it in my mind at all," she said. "We'll be in middle of the game and the girls will say, 'Are you going to be excited to break it?' "
While Cullington is trying not to focus on the historic nature of her season, she's enjoying just playing well. She has been a good hitter in stretches before, but not as consistently as this season. She hit .311 as a freshman with seven home runs and 25 RBIs. Cullington tailed off last year as her average (.248) and power numbers (five HRs, 24 RBIs) dropped.
"I did a lot of work in the off-season. It's great. It's definitely better than my freshman and sophomore year," said Cullington, who plans to continue her improvement. "I think I can take where I am and double it. I can be a player that makes zero errors in the field. I could be mentally so much better than I am.
"I want to get as much as I can from this year," she added. "I'm going to come back early this summer and train. Seeing how far I've come this year gives me a lot of hope for next year as well. I know how good I want to be."
How good she is now is pretty impressive. Cullington started the season hitting seventh in the UMass lineup, but her strong hitting forced UMass coach Elaine Sortino to move her to third, where she continued to thrive.
Temple respected her enough to walk her in six of the eight plate appearances she had in the team's two-game series April 20 and 21. The other two times she homered.
Cullington's first step toward the record came in the fourth inning of the fourth game when she took San Diego State pitcher Christina Ross out to left field. But most of her power surge has been recent. Ten of her 14 home runs have come since March 31 and six have come in her last 18 at bats.
She leads the A-10 in home runs as well as RBIs (47).
"She finally got comfortable technically," Sortino said. "Right now she's got a great swing and she's got a plan at the plate. She knows good pitches from marginal pitches. She's a tough two-out hitter."
Sortino has been Cullington's lone ally in the quest to ignore the record.
"I said to her if you break this record, the two people that are going to remember this 10 years from now are you and your mother," she said. "What people are going to remember is what kind of season we had."
Cullington agrees.
"Everything is falling into place. I hope we just take this momentum and go with it. I think we're as good as we want to be," said Cullington who wants to chase a different piece of history. "I'm not worried about the record, I want to go to the (Women's College) World Series."

That would be its production from the left side, where catcher A.J. Pierzynski has taken advantage of his run-producing opportunities from the fifth spot, and Adam Dunn has shown signs of producing from the third spot.

Ashland decks Shenandoah
SHENANDOAH - Ashland was in a must-win situation in its District 24 11-12-year-old Little League Tournament Pool 1 game Saturday against Shenandoah.
A loss would have made it virtually impossible for Ashland to recover and win the pool.
On the other hand, a win by Shenandoah would have put it in the driver's seat with a 3-0 mark.
Ashland made sure it didn't fall into that situation, banging out 14 hits and taking advantage of 10 walks to come away with a 22-4, four-inning victory.
Both teams are now 2-1 in the tournament with one game remaining in pool play.
Mitch Wagner was the hitting star for Ashand, going 3-for-4 with eight runs batted in. He hit two three-run homers - one in the third inning and another in the fourth - and added a two-run double in the fourth.
Wagner also scored four runs and led off the game with a walk that boosted Ashland to a four-run rally in the top of the first to get its offense started.
"We always tell the leadoff hitter he has to set the tone for the game," Ashland manager Brian Wagner said. "We like our kids swinging at strikes, even when they are down on the count."
Jason Green also had a big day at the plate for Ashland. He was 2-for-4, including a two-run home run in the first inning and an RBI single in the fourth.
Ashland sent nine batters to the plate in its four-run first, 10 in a five-run third and batted 18 times in a 13-run fourth.
"We told them all week that we have to put some runs up on these guys," Brian Wagner said. "We played good, solid baseball. We hit
well and we pitched well. If we lose, then we're out. Now we can control our own destiny from here on out."
Ashland pitcher Zak Stokes did his part by throwing a four-hitter. He struck out seven, including the side in the bottom of the fourth inning to end the game.
Stokes also helped himself at the plate by going 2-for-4 with a double. He scored three runs and was credited with an RBI on a bases-loaded walk in the fourth.
Shenandoah touched up Stokes for four runs in the bottom off the first inning to tie the game at 4-all on a pair of two-run singles by Will Conroy and Chris Timko.
However, Shenandoah couldn't stop Ashland's offense. Jake Thomas, Zack Chowansky and Avery Dombrosky all threw for Shenandoah as it spent most of the game on the field playing defense, giving Stokes plenty of time to rest.
Shenandoah manager Chris Conroy said that his pitchers are better than what they showed and credited Ashland for having a good hitting team.
"We put too many runners on base with walks," Conroy said. "And with the way that team hits the ball, you're asking for trouble. They have fantastic hitters. Things just snowballed after the first inning." Game Summary
