Puppy 431 scsi frugal kernel 188.8.131.52
I cannot seem to save snapshots with Paint.
I could with Puppy 43 scsi beta 3.
Never mind. I found out that you cannot manually edit the path in the top window.
That kills the save of the program in the bottom window.

Post subject: boot times worse?
Subject description: some degraded; longstanding issue
Boot times, on LiveCDs, from typing pfix=ram, to the first boot prompt e.g. 'Keyboard Layout': my most powerful (?) machine boots the slowest.
My ten-year-old Thinkpad T20 P3 w/ 512MB Ram and 512MB swap boots LiveCDs much faster than my Dell Dimension 9100 Pentium D (two P4 3GHz CPUs), 3GB RAM, no swap space. But things have degraded on the Thinkpad in recent Puppies.
-- On the Thinkpad T20, puppy 2.17.1 and 4.1.2-22.214.171.124 both take approx 1m30sec to boot. In 2.17.1, the "loading *.sfs to RAM" line takes 40sec; in 4.1.2, it takes 50sec.
On 4.3.1-126.96.36.199-intelmodems, loading the sfs file to RAM takes 60 seconds. The whole boot (from pfix=ram to Language prompt) takes 2:00 seconds, not 1:30.
-- In contrast, on the Dimension 9100 Pentium D:
p2.17.1 -- 60 sec to load RAM, 2:55 total boot time
p4.1.2 -- 70 sec to load RAM, 1:45 total boot time
p431-220.127.116.11intel -- 90 sec to load RAM, 1:58 total boot time
p431-126.96.36.199 -- 80 sec to load RAM, 1:50 total boot time
-- Quite different: on a Dimension E310 w/ one P4 processor & no swapspace, loading time has been pretty consistent and quick from puppy 4.1.2 to 4.3.1 -- about 60 seconds total.
Enabling / disabling hyperthreading in BIOS on this machine makes very little difference in this case.
So why does the Pentium D (two P4 3.0GHz), 3 GB RAM boot so much slower than the Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM machine? And, why does puppy431 boot 33% slower on the Thinkpad than most previous Puppies?

Post subject: Partview Free space in drives
I have improved(?) the partview function of Puppy 4.3.1rc2.
When you run the program, the free space of mounted partitions are first shown. After that, you have the option to show the free space of all partitions (including not mounted ones).
If you install the included
in Puppy 4.3.1 the existing version of partview will be replaced.
You can run the program from "Utility: Partview" or by klicking the icon besides "Show Desktop" in the bottom list.

Post subject: Puppy 4.3.1 -- bug reports and suggestions
Subject description: Video will not update with 4.30 SFS file
1. Feel like I spent hours trying different old save files to discover one which would find an Xorg video setting with 4.3.1 booting either from CD or from USB stick. This with a Thinkpad T42 with which all previous puppies from 4.20 and many unofficials as well as other distros have had no problem. (Old setting was 1024 x 768 x 24).
I haven't noticed this reported much in archives. Does a maven suggest leaving behind a save file with modest, near VGA, video settings to avoid this problem? (It can occur with another OS video subsystem if downgrading monitors)
2. Suggestion: A single screen or notebook of many alterable Puppy settings for newbies. I'd like to know for example, which save file is in use; and to have the option of NOT saving or of saving to new file. I'd also like options on some of what goes to the save file, without ad hocing on such as browser profiles and the browser caches and downloads. Only the last is usually straightforward to user-alter. Been through this with OS/2, browser updates, and profiles.

Post subject: Partview revision
Subject description: Labels are in the wrong place in the recent .pet
The user want to get at a single glance his balance of space. So the free space text should be within the bars, where the eye is drawn by a graphic and where the gaze will often coincide with the actual amount of free space.
So, the total size should be exterior to the bars. In other words, the positions should be reversed. I think this is non-controversial GUI standard.

" Quote: DemostiX :Labels are in the wrong place in the recent .pet

Yes... this is very confusing....first you read the right side... as that is where they eyes go... and it says xxxx... free... OK.. then you go to the left... and there is little separation between the drive designation and the size of the entire drive. Once you see to the right of the drive designation... you have to mentally calculate the ratio of free to non free.....
I would much rather see two bars to the right... or label each of the right segments to indicate size. YOU have tons of extra space... so please try and make this a lot easier to read. Even two colors.. will help.... something so it is easy to determine the total drive size verses the free space.

Subject description: multisession: version upgrade
wuwei reported some problems upgrading 421 to 431 on a frugal install.
Doing the same version upgrade (to 431small) on a multisession I find that the 421 wallpaper is maintained, the excised 'save' icon is maintained and functional, and the remaining desktop icons have become 'generic'. Prior to the version upgrade process 431 on the multisession-burned disk was OK.
Hmm, do I have a one-off, in which case I need to start from scratch as wuwei has done, or has anyone else experienced this and found a fix?

I think Puppy has reached a point in popularity and usefulness where it could stand a little polishing.
1. The last dialog in Puppy Universal Installer asks user whether to finish or to redo Grub config. That dialog should be worded so that the answer is "YES, finished", rather than the counterintuitive "NO, finished". I believe this final dialog is responsible for much confusion about grub config, and often leaves the new user hanging and uncertain that installation is complete.
2. I'm on the East Coast of USA. When booting liveCD it seems that default settings apply to this location. So I can hand a Puppy CD to a friend and say, Just boot it up and accept default values. EXCEPT for the time zone, which is like +8 hours. So user must hunt for New York/Montreal time zone, or just page down to the bottom of the list and come up several values to Eastern Time (-5 hours). If we are gonna set up default values for East Coast USA, then let's go all the way and set the default time zone to ET (-5hrs) as well.
3. I have a slow laptop. I havent figured out the settings to make the touchpad immediately responsive, and consequently there may be lag between click and action. I try to close a browser page by clicking the "X" in the upper right corner, nothing happens, so I instinctually click again. The page finally closes, but the second click is remembered and applies to the lock icon which is unfortunately located by default in the upper right corner of desktop. Why is the desktop lock icon located under the browser page sizing/closing functions? Couldn't it be located (by default) elsewhere? IMHO there should be
clickable icons in the upper right corner of desktop, because of typical browser design.

Post subject: liveCD uses more and more RAM
Subject description: CD really loads into RAM... but so does everything that can be cached
System: Thinkpad T20 P3 700MHz, 512MB RAM w/ 512MB swap
Puppy: 431-126.96.36.199-intelmodems, LiveCD booted with "pfix=ram".
The computer seems very responsive, especially graphics / scrolling in app windows & GUI responsiveness. Overall 431 seems terrific. (For the record.)
I started & quit many programs (one at a time) and I never heard the CD spin up a second time.
However, regarding RAM usage:
1. After each program I started & quit, the amount of free RAM shrank (as reported by 'top'). I wasn't using the programs -- just starting them & quitting them -- but the used RAM stayed used. Also true of buffered and cached RAM, when they increased.
2. I tried mounting drives & using files on them. Using them used RAM as expected, but even when I quit the program & closed all windows, the newly used RAM was not released. If I then unmounted the drive, the RAM was immediately released.
tests, etc:
Test A). I opened Aqualung (free RAM shrank a bit) & then browsed a mounted ntfs drive (more RAM used while browsing the partition. Using a GUI to browse files used RAM in other apps also, such as Rox.)
When I selected & opened the mp3s, maybe 30MB more free RAM was used. When I stopped & quit Aqualung, no RAM was freed up. But when I unmounted the ntfs partition, the 30MB mp3-related free RAM immediately returned. (not the other Aqualung-used RAM.)
Test B). Not just Aqualung nor NTFS -- I mounted the liveCD and typed 'cat /mnt/sr0/pup-431.sfs' in a console window (musical fun!). Free RAM shrank by -- not 100MB, but close... but stopping the 'cat' window (verified stopped in 'top') did NOT release the RAM back to free RAM. When I unmounted the CD, the RAM was immediately freed.
The freememapplet display did not change in either test ("763M").
On the other hand, when I created a 100MB local file, free RAM and freememapplet both shrank by 100MB, and when I deleted the file both monitors immediately regained the 100MB.
-- One last note, FWIW: restarting JWM or X server didn't free any RAM. Exiting to prompt and restarting via 'xwin' (with or without running xorgwizard) didn't free any RAM either. Typing 'top' while exited to prompt showed free RAM (temporarily) increased by only 10MB.

I found all the partview examples confusing.
The graphic essentially shows used space, yet the text talks about free space. Moving the free space text into a graphic displaying used space is even more confusing.
I would move all text out of the graphic, and have the text area say "25GB of 80GB free". Also, left-justify it, or justify it "by columns".
Or, if you want text in the graphic, put "sda1" in there, not anything to do with sizes.
Another idea might be to keep it as you have it, but put the "free" text to the
of the graphic, since the free area in the graphic is on the right side. In other words, for sda1, show "sda1: 18G total", then the sda1 graphic, then "8.78G free".
A modification of that would be just to have column headers "Total size" and "Free space". Then the line for sda1 would show only "sda1: 18G", then the graphic, then "8.78G".
Also, I think we only need 2 significant figures, not 3. In other words, "8.8G" rather than "8.78G". One can have too much information...
You might use a different color in the graphic to indicate mounted volumes. Since green dots are used in the icons, might use green for mounted volumes. Then no need for a button to switch back and forth between mounted only and all volumes.
BTW I am pleased with 431 because it cleaned up two major problems with 412: corrupted text display in forums, and my sound card choking half-way through a movie. At least I think that is cleared up.

Post subject: Magic 20-second delay mounting drives or starting ROXwindows
Subject description: longstanding issue
System: Thinkpad T20 P3 700MHz, 512MB RAM w/ 512MB swap
Puppy: 431-22.214.171.124-intelmodems, LiveCD booted with "pfix=ram".
---Or: 412-220.127.116.11 frugal install,
---or: 412-18.104.22.168 from liveCD w/ "pfix=ram".
Hi. Occasionally my computer enters an odd mode: mounting or unmounting drives, or opening a ROX window (e.g. from the Menu button) incurs a 20-21 second delay in whatever window / GUI I used. The computer otherwise remains perfectly responsive during the delays, and 'top' shows no spike in CPU or RAM usage.
If I click on a desktop drive icon to mount it, there's a 20-second delay before the green dot appears next to the icon... and then another 20-second delay before the ROX window opens for the drive. If I click on the desktop drive icon (w/ Rox, etc. closed) & choose 'unmount [partition | optical drive]', there's a 20-second delay before the dot disappears.
If I just open a ROX window for the _root_ folder, from the Menu button OR from command line, there's a 20-second delay before the window appears.
If I __mount a drive from the command line__, the command takes 20 seconds to 'finish' (return to the prompt). The desktop icon dot also takes 20 seconds to appear. But if I open another console, I can browse the contents of the mounted drive right away, while the original 'mount' command is still in its 20-second delay.
Once the computer enters this mode, I can't get out of it without rebooting. Clearing the ROX thumbnail cache*, restarting JWM &/or X server, even switching from Xorg to Xvesa &/or vice versa has no impact. After I exit to prompt, mount/umount commands finish right away, but restarting X returns to delay mode.
Unfortunately I can't figure out what events OR what code might be causing this. I will try to see if I can reproduce it on other computers or kernels.
* often I don't use thumbnails so the thumbnail cache is nonexistent

Post subject: unclear instruction in Xvesa Wizard
Subject description: ...when run from Xorg
A small note:
When using Xorg, if I choose Menu > Setup > Xvesa Wizard, the response is:
'Can't run while in Xorg; run Xorg Wizard to switch to Xvesa.'
Is this outdated advice? Xorg Wizard doesn't say any of its choices allow switching to Xvesa. Maybe the Xvesa wizard should say:
'Choose `Menu > ... > Exit to prompt` and then run Xorgwizard again, but choose Xvesa at first prompt instead of Xorg'?
Or even better, offer to do that automatically?

Interrogation is a methodology employed during the interview of a person, referred to as a "source", to obtain information that the source would not otherwise willingly disclose.
A typical purpose is not necessarily to force a confession, but rather to develop, playing on the source's character, sufficient rapport as to prompt the source to disclose information valuable to the interrogator.
A well-conducted interrogation will not usually involve torture, which in practice is widely acknowledged to be ineffective at producing true, accurate, correct and reliable information.
Prisoners of war (POW) routinely undergo military interrogation and thus, resistance training is often a prerequisite for some personnel.
Interrogation techniquesEdit
- See also: Enhanced interrogation techniques
There are multiple techniques employed in interrogation including deception, torture, increasing suggestibility, and the use of mind-altering drugs.
A person's suggestibility is how willing they are to accept and act on suggestions by others. Interrogators seek to increase a subject's suggestibility. Methods used to increase suggestibility may include moderate sleep deprivation, exposure to constant white noise, and using GABAergic drugs such as sodium amytal or sodium thiopental. It should be noted that attempting to increase a subject's suggestibility through these methods may violate local and national laws concerning the treatment of detainees, and in some areas may be considered torture. Sleep deprivation, exposure to white noise, and the use of drugs may greatly inhibit a detainee's ability to provide truthful and accurate information.
Deception can form an important part of effective interrogation. In the United States, there is no law or regulation that forbids the interrogator from lying about the strength of their case, from making misleading statements or from implying that the interviewee has already been implicated in the crime by someone else. See case law on trickery and deception (Frazier v. Cupp).[1]
As noted above, traditionally the issue of deception is considered from the perspective of the interrogator engaging in deception towards the individual being interrogated. Recently, work completed regarding effective interview methods used to gather information from individuals who score in the medium to high range on measures of psychopathology and are engaged in deception directed towards the interrogator have appeared in the literature [2] [3] The importance of allowing the psychopathic interviewee to tell one lie after another and not confront until all of the lies have been presented is essential when the goal is to use the interview to expose the improbable statements made during the interview in future court proceedings.
Good cop/bad copEdit
- Main article: Good cop/bad cop
Good cop/bad cop is an interrogation technique in which the officers take different sides. The 'bad cop' takes a negative stance on the subject. This allows for the 'good cop' to sympathize with and defend the subject. The idea is to get the subject to trust the 'good cop' and provide him with the information they're seeking.
Pride-and-ego downEdit
- Main article: Pride-and-ego down
Pride-and-ego down is a US Army term that refers to techniques used by captors in interrogating prisoners to encourage cooperation, usually consisting of "attacking the source's sense of personal worth" and in an "attempt to redeem his pride, the source will usually involuntarily provide pertinent information in attempting to vindicate himself."
Reid techniqueEdit
- Main article: Reid technique
The Reid technique is a trademarked interrogation technique widely used by law enforcement agencies in North America. The technique (which requires interrogators to watch the body language of suspects to detect deceit) has been criticized for being difficult to apply across cultures and eliciting false confessions from innocent people.[4]
The history of the state use of torture in interrogations extends over more than 2,000 years in Europe—though it was recognized early on as the Roman imperial jurist Ulpian in the third century A.D. cautioned, that information extracted under duress was deceptive and untrustworthy.[5] There is "no means of obtaining the truth" from those who have the strength to resist says Ulpian, while others are unable to withstand the pain and "will tell any lie rather than suffer it."[6]
The use of torture as an investigative technique waned with the rise of Christianity since it was considered "antithetical to Christ's teachings," and in 866 Pope Nicholas I banned the practice.[6] But after the 13th Century many European states such as Germany, Italy, and Spain began to return to physical abuse for religious inquisition, and for secular investigations.[6] By the 18th Century the spreading influence of the Enlightenment led European nations to abandon officially state-sanctioned interrogation by torture. By 1874 Victor Hugo could plausibly claim that "torture has ceased to exist."[7] Yet in the 20th Century authoritarian states such as Mussolini's Fascist Italy, Hitler's Third Reich, and Lenin's and Stalin's Soviet Union once again resumed the practice, and on a massive scale.[7]
The most recent and most prominent instance of the use of torture in interrogation is that of the American CIA. After the defeat of the Fascists in World War II the CIA became both student and teacher of torture, propagating torture techniques worldwide to support anti-Communist regimes during the Cold War.[8] The CIA adopted some Gestapo and KGB methods such as waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and the use of electric shock, and researched new ideas: so-called 'no-touch' torture involving sensory deprivation, self-inflicted pain, and psychological stress.[9] The CIA taught its refined techniques of torture through police and military training to American-supported regimes in the Middle East, in Southeast Asia during the bloody Phoenix program, and throughout Latin America during Operation Condor.[10] Torture also became widespread in some Asian nations and South Pacific nations, in Malasia, the Philippines and elsewhere, both for interrogation and to terrorize opponents of the regime. "In its pursuit of torturers across the globe for the past forty years," writer Alfred McCoy notes, "Amnesty International has been, in a certain sense, following the trail of CIA programs."[11]
After the revelation of CIA sponsored torture in the 1970s and the subsequent outcry, the CIA largely stopped its own interrogations under torture and throughout the 1980s and 1990s "outsourced" such interrogation through renditions of prisoners to third world allies, often called torture-by-proxy.[12] But in the furor over the attacks on 9/11 American authorities cast aside scruples,[13] legally authorizing some forms of interrogation by torture under euphemisms such as "enhanced interrogation"[14] or "interrogation in depth"[15] to collect intelligence on Al Quaeda, starting in 2002.[16] Ultimately the CIA, the US military, and their contract employees tortured untold thousands at Guantánamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, Bagram, and secret black site prisons scatttered around the globe, according to a bipartisan U.S.Senate Armed Services Committee report.[17] Whether these interrogations under torture produced useful information is hotly debated.[18]
The administration of President Obama in 2009 prohibited so-called enhanced interrogation, and as of this writing (March 2012) there is no longer a nation which openly admits to deliberate abuse of prisoners for purposes of interrogation.[19]
Coercive interrogationEdit
- Main article: Coercive interrogation
Movement for increased recording of interrogations in the USEdit
Currently, there is a movement for mandatory electronic recording of all custodial interrogations in the United States. [1] "Electronic Recording" describes the process of recording interrogations from start to finish. This is in contrast to a "taped" or "recorded confession," which typically only includes the final statement of the suspect. "Taped interrogation" is the traditional term for this process; however, as analog is becoming less and less common, statutes and scholars are referring to the process as "electronically recording" interviews or interrogations. Alaska, [2] Illinois, [3] Maine, [4], Minnesota, [5] and Wisconsin [6] are the only states to require taped interrogation. New Jersey's taping requirement started on January 1, 2006. [7] [8] Massachusetts allows jury instructions that state that the courts prefer taped interrogations. See Commonwealth v. DiGiambattista, 813 N.E.2d 516, 533-34 (Mass. 2004). Commander Neil Nelson of the St. Paul Police Department, an expert in taped interrogation, [9] has described taped interrogation in Minnesota as the "best thing ever rammed down our throats." [10]

Comment was Klannish
We are writing to express our concern about your article on Weekday Religious Education in Waynesboro {May 27 cover story: "They break for Jesus"].
While we are saddened that Mollie Bryan received what she calls "hate mail" in response to her controversial column in the Staunton newspaper, to print her quote that "I wouldn't be surprised if I got a cross burned in my yard" was needlessly inflammatory and suggests a community vastly different from the one we call home.
You also did Mollie Bryan no favors by publishing this accusation, as it exposes her ignorance of the community in which she lives, one that has rejected the Klan's message on more than one occasion.
If 50 percent of the children who attend WRE, Weekday Religious Education, do not attend church, then perhaps their parents' motivation for sending them is other than religious dedication. Maybe they recognize something that most of the article's interviewees don't: The Bible has had a large influence on our Western culture.
In fact, we heard a Biblical reference made in a Disney movie our children watched today. To not know what the Bible says is to be culturally illiterate– so many works of art and literature draw their text or inspiration from passages in the Bible. And it is precisely because of the "separation of church and state" that these children must leave the school premises to receive this complement to their education.
Briefly stated, the concept of WRE is legal, well supported in the Valley, and a useful part of a well-rounded curriculum. Students are not forced to attend, nor are they routinely harassed for not attending.
If the residents of Charlottesville do not choose to have WRE, that is their prerogative. By the same token, if the residents of the Shenandoah Valley do choose it, do not force your judgments upon them.

text: JUBA - South Sudan is not withdrawing troops from the border with Sudan to set up a buffer zone as it pledged it was last month, South Sudan's army said on Monday, in a setback to efforts to resume the oil exports vital to both economies.The two countries came close to war last April in the worst border clashes since South Sudan seceded in 2011 under a peace deal that ended one of Africa's longest civil wars.The African Union managed to broker a deal in September to defuse hostilities. But the nations have failed set up a buffer border zone and resume oil exports from the landlocked South Sudan through Sudanese pipelines as agreed in Addis Ababa.In a sign of goodwill, South Sudan said three weeks ago it had started to unilaterally withdraw its troops from the border and would set up its side of the 10-km buffer zone by Feb 4.Such a buffer zone is a pre-condition for Sudan to allow oil exports to restart. Juba shut down its output of 350,000 barrels day a year ago in a row with Khartoum over pipeline fees.But South Sudan's military spokesman Philip Aguer said on Monday the army had not even started to pull out from the border, despite the government statement."There are no orders to withdraw and I don't think there will be any unless there is an agreement from both governments," Aguer said. "We will never withdraw unless there is an agreement for a timely withdrawal for both armies."Neither South Sudanese nor Sudanese government officials were immediately available for comment.The African Union twice brought together Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and his South Sudanese counterpart Salva Kiir in Ethiopia last month to end the stalemate but there has been no sign of progress.Over the weekend Juba accused Khartoum of killing a South Sudanese soldier in two air attacks on their border. Sudan denied the allegation, though Reuters reporters have witnessed Sudanese air attacks on southern territory in the past.

A new study published in Current Biology is giving new meaning to "caught in the act." Researchers have observed that bats can use their sonar to home in on flies who are in the midst of copulation. Turns out noisy sex can have worse consequences than just embarrassment.
Scientists have suspected that copulation can put animals at risk for predators, but they've lacked the empirical evidence to support this claim, until now.
Scientists also know that bats like to eat flies, but they couldn't understand how a nocturnal animal is able to prey upon a diurnal one. Flies, like humans, sleep at night, thus making them completely invisible to the bats who rely on echolocation for hunting.
But flies, like humans, also appear to do other things at night, beside sleep.
The study, which was conducted by Stefan Greif of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, took a look at Natterer's bats living in cowsheds near Marburg, Germany. He noticed that flies emit a burst of broadband when they're mating, an acoustic signature that's likely emanating from the male's wing-fluttering. The bats have learned to identify these special click-like signals, thus allowing them to swoop in on the unsuspecting couple and earn a super-sized meal.
To conduct their work, the researchers set up cameras in the cowshed to catch a glimpse of the action. Their videos show that flies are extremely reluctant to fly at night (for good reason), and that bats almost never attack flies who walk on the ceiling.
But once the flies start having sex, their risk of being detected and eaten by the bats rises dramatically.
Greif's team spent the better part of four years making these videos, observing the actions of over 9,000 flies and chronicling over 1,100 acts of them doing the nasty (wow, talk about a lengthy and detailed study). What they discovered was that flies who are mating get eaten 5% of the time. And in about 60% of those cases, the bats were able to gobble-up both of the flies.
In order to ensure that it was the sounds that were alerting the bats to the flies' presence, the researchers set up mounted, dead fly pairs on the shed ceiling in a position they usually take when mating. Not surprisingly, the bats failed to notice the pornographic decoys.
The researchers suspect that other predators may employ the same strategy — a suspicion that stems from the theory that mating, as important as it is to the survival of a species, often puts organisms in terrible peril. And as Greif notes in the study, not only are animals noisy and conspicuous during copulation, they're also distracted — an often deadly combination when predators are around.
And, in fact, as other research suggests, mating can be deadly. As Ed Yong points out in Discover, water sliders, amphipods, and Australian plague locusts face similar risks when mating. The locusts in particular have it pretty rough. Mating locusts are targets for parasitic wasps, who sting, paralyze and bury the female, while the male, who is unable to detach himself, is dragged along by his genitals and also entombed.
Ouch. The flies in Greif's study would seem to have it considerably easier.

- Master's Thesis (1)
Is part of the Bibliography
- no (2) (remove)
- relevance (2) (remove)
This document presents a formula selection system for classical first order theorem proving based on the relevance of formulae for the proof of a conjecture. It is based on unifiability of predicates and is also able to use a linguistic approach for the selection. The scope of the technique is the reduction of the set of formulae and the increase of the amount of provable conjectures in a given time. Since the technique generates a subset of the formula set, it can be used as a preprocessor for automated theorem proving. The document contains the conception, implementation and evaluation of both selection concepts. While the one concept generates a search graph over the negation normal forms or Skolem normal forms of the given formulae, the linguistic concept analyses the formulae and determines frequencies of lexemes and uses a tf-idf weighting algorithm to determine the relevance of the formulae. Though the concept is built for first order logic, it is not limited to it. The concept can be used for higher order and modal logik, too, with minimal adoptions. The system was also evaluated at the world championship of automated theorem provers (CADE ATP Systems Competition, CASC-24) in combination with the leanCoP theorem prover and the evaluation of the results of the CASC and the benchmarks with the problems of the CASC of the year 2012 (CASC-J6) show that the concept of the system has positive impact to the performance of automated theorem provers. Also, the benchmarks with two different theorem provers which use different calculi have shown that the selection is independent from the calculus. Moreover, the concept of TEMPLAR has shown to be competitive to some extent with the concept of SinE and even helped one of the theorem provers to solve problems that were not (or slower) solved with SinE selection in the CASC. Finally, the evaluation implies that the combination of the unification based and linguistic selection yields more improved results though no optimisation was done for the problems.
This document presents an axiom selection technique for classic first order theorem proving based on the relevance of axioms for the proof of a conjecture. It is based on unifiability of predicates and does not need statistical information like symbol frequency. The scope of the technique is the reduction of the set of axioms and the increase of the amount of provable conjectures in a given time. Since the technique generates a subset of the axiom set, it can be used as a preprocessor for automated theorem proving. This technical report describes the conception, implementation and evaluation of ARDE. The selection method, which is based on a breadth-first graph search by unifiability of predicates, is a weakened form of the connection calculus and uses specialised variants or unifiability to speed up the selection. The implementation of the concept is evaluated with comparison to the results of the world championship of theorem provers of the year 2012 (CASC J6). It is shown that both the theorem prover leanCoP which uses the connection calculus and E which uses equality reasoning, can benefit from the selection approach. Also, the evaluation shows that the concept is applyable for theorem proving problems with thousands of formulae and that the selection is independent from the calculus used by the theorem prover.

For those of you that use it, I'm sorry but TMC email is still not fully sorted.
The problem is that you cannot send email from an email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Outlook Express etc) to anyone outside TMC. For the technically aware out there I am having problems with the authentication mechanisms that prevent TMC from being a spammers tool - an open relay.
If you have a TMC email account and you want to send an email outside TMC all is not lost however. If you use the webmail service then you will not have any problems.
Hopefully I'll get this sorted really soon and will then be able to move onto more visible and useful projects like sorting out our search engine issues.
Cheers, and thanks for your patience.

Rural families are struggling to make ends meet and typically need to spend 10-20% more than city dwellers for an acceptable standard of living, research shows.
Higher living costs combined with low pay make country life tough, researchers from Loughborough University found.
The study was produced for the Commission for Rural Communities.
Its executive director Nicola Lloyd said: "Although it is now widely recognised that one in five rural households experience poverty, this is the first time we've also had reliable data to show the minimum cost of living in the countryside is higher than in the city.
"The rural minimum income standard clearly shows that many ordinary families living in rural areas will struggle to afford the everyday essentials; for some this will make rural life unsustainable. The high cost of transport and household fuel are likely to be particular problems for rural families with low incomes.
"The CRC's recent work on fuel poverty and promoting greater energy efficiency offers ways for government and others to help to reduce these costs. We would also like to see developments which lessen the need for expensive travel to reach essential services, such as greater access to broadband and mobile technology, and creative solutions to providing employment and services closer to home."
Report author Dr Noel Smith said urban residents benefited from better public transport and often cheaper, more accessible utilities. He said: "We were struck by the gap between how much people would need to earn to meet these rural requirements and the level of some of the wages actually available. Workers in the most basic rural jobs can work very hard yet still fall well short of what they need for an acceptable standard of living."
The study claimed higher costs meant a single villager needed to earn at least 50% above the minimum wage (£5.93 per hour) to make ends meet.
The research suggested that to afford a minimum standard of living, a single person needed to earn at least £15,600 a year in a rural town; £17,900 a year in a village and £18,600 in a hamlet or the remote countryside.
In comparison, urban residents needed £14,400 to meet the specified minimum.

In November last year, GE announced it would be installing the first 4.1-113 in Sweden's Gothenburg harbour.
GE offshore product manager Vincent Schillings said: "Now we will begin validating the design and obtain initial results before the summer wind season. Our initial focus will be on the power curve and loads validation as evidence that our simulations meet measurements of the two most important characteristics that matter to our customers."
The 4.1-113 is a scaled-up version of ScanWind's 3.5MW turbine, which has operated for the past five years on Norway's coast. ScanWind was acquired by GE nearly three years ago.
However, there is still no news on where the turbine will be manufactured. In 2010, GE announced a €110 million plan to manufacture the turbine in the UK, saying this could result in up to 2000 jobs by 2020. However, last year it appeared to have pulled back on the move.
GE's general manager for renewable energy in Europe, Stephan Ritter, said there were still "no specific manufacturing plans. The next thing is to validate the turbine".

World Victory Road's year-end "Soul of Fight" Sengoku event now features a heavyweight bout between American notable Dave "Pee Wee" Herman (19-2 MMA, 1-1 SRC) and Japanese veteran Yoshihiro Nakao (9-2 MMA, 3-1 SRC).
Officials today announced the matchup.
The event takes place Dec. 30 at Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo and is expected to air on HDNet in the U.S.
"Soul of Fight" is an all-day sports festival that features MMA fights, kickboxing bouts, grappling matchups and other competitions. The slate of MMA fights, which also includes WVR's welterweight grand prix finale and Asian bantamweight GP semifinals, is the main attraction.
Herman, an Indiana native who never has gone to a decision in 21 career fights, most recently competed at Bellator 31, where he submitted Michal Kita with a rare omoplata submission. Prior to the victory, which was his 18th first-round stoppage in 19 career wins, he suffered a disqualification loss (illegal knees) to UFC vet Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou at an event in Abu Dhabi.
Herman now returns to WVR, where he suffered his first career loss in a January 2009 TKO defeat to Choi Mu Bae.
Nakao is perhaps best known to American fans for a 2005 run-in with Heath Herring at "K-1 Premium 2005 Dynamite!!" During referee instructions, Nakao kissed Herring in apparent attempt to get under his skin. It didn't go over well, and Herring tagged him with a right hook to the chin that knocked out Nakao and resulted in a no-contest for the bout.
Nakao, though, quietly has put together a nice run in recent years. He's won four out of his past five fights with WVR wins over Jim York, Choi Mu Bae and Henry Miller. The lone defeat came to notable Antonio Silva in a bout in which Nakao suffered a knee injury.
WVR officials also added some stand-up fights to the Dec. 30 card that feature notables from the region's top kickboxing promotions.
The latest card now includes:
- Yasubey Enomoto vs. Keita Nakamura*
- Manabu Inoue vs. Shunichi Shimizu+
- Taiyo Nakahara vs. Akitoshi Tamura+
- Dave "Pee Wee" Herman vs. Yoshihiro Nakao
- Akihiro Gono vs. TBA
- Kazuo Misaki vs. TBA
- Maximo Blanco vs. TBA
- Hiroshi Izumi vs. TBA
- Masanori Kanehara vs. TBA
- Kazunori Yokota vs. TBA
* – Welterweight grand-prix finale
+ – Asian bantamweight grand-prix semifinals

I bought this a while back. I had the Redwing 3100 of the same color, which has stood the test of time so I thought this would be a good choice.
I'm 5'9" with high hips. The fit of this pack was perfect. But there were some operability things I didn't like.
One, when the bag is full the zipper covers stretch tight over top the zippers and impede their ability to function. Usually I had to lay the pack flat on the ground to operate the zippers. There is no easy access for the hydration bladder area so you will have to unpack half the pack every time you want to fill up water. Also there is nothing to hang the bladder on so it keeps falling to the bottom of the bladder carrier.
I have a 38 in waist, which I don't think is too over the top, but it made the hip belt almost useless, and the pack kept falling. Just because we have a shorter torso doesn't mean the hip belt padding should be shorter in length as it goes around the waist. I don't think the padding on this reached the front of my hip bone. The butt pack is not easy to remove, and fastex buckles should be added. It's also heavy, and the water bottle pockets won't hold a nalgene bottle.
I would put the durability of this pack far above most others. If you are doing a lot of traveling and your bag is going to take a lot of abuse this is a great bag. I'm going to use this bag for travel as a civilian contractor in middle east.
If you are going to be doing a lot of actual backpacking you should consider something a bit lighter, easier to use and be willing to shell out a hundred more bucks. A low end pack will suck the life out of you on the trail. A few of these reviews have come from people with little backpacking experience and the passionate backpackers buying the latest gear don't own this pack so they can't rate it. Their input is missing.
I don't want to sound like I'm knocking Kelty, but I do feel this pack has a slightly higher average star rating than it warrants. Overall it's not bad, but if you're getting serious you'll want to take it up a notch.
Price Paid: $119
This was my very first backpack. I'm a planner and shopper. I like to know that I'm buying good quality stuff that is appropriate for my needs.
Overall, I'm impressed with this pack. It's quite durable, and for the price I won't complain. Still yet, I have two major issues with this pack. They are: 1) the weight of the pack alone, and 2) the padding on the shoulder straps. I've got broader shoulders for a girl, but I'm still quite short. The shoulder straps don't extend very far down, and they constantly cut into my armpits. With a heavy pack, that's not much fun at all.
I bought this pack because I wanted to do some backpacking and I travel a lot. At the time of purchase I was planning a month-long stint to southern India. Since then, I've used this pack on extended backpacking trips in the southeast, the trip to India, and an 11-month journey around the world to 19 countries.
For the price, this pack is pretty good. The material is a little heavy, but it probably makes it a little more durable. The Red Cloud held up to 11 months of tourtuous third-world travel and abuse. On over 20 different flights, I never bagged it separately when I checked it. I just cinched all the straps down tight, and I never got any tears or busted buckles. I had people throwing my bag off the top of moving buses and everything. This really impressed me about the bag.
The two-panel loading
Sleeping bag compartment
The removable lid/day bag
Short Shoulder straps
Ultimately there are lighter packs out there now (even Kelty bags that have longer shoulder straps!), but this is a decent bag for people on a budget.
Design: Front and Top loading internal frame
Size: 5000
Number of Pockets: 6... counting the main compartment
Max. Load Carried: 55 lbs... not the best few hours of my trip
Height of Owner: 5' 2"
Price Paid: $150
As someone who has done a lot of camping, hiking, and backpacking in several countries around Africa, I have begun to realize the importance of gear fitting properly.
Since I am fairly short for a guy, standing at a little over 5'7" with a short torso and fairly narrow chest, I find that most products are just too big for me. Usually the packs are too big and long for me, usually leaving me feeling like I borrowed my dad's jacket or something.
From the first time I laid eyes on this pack, I knew it was different. Here was finally a pack that could fit me. When it was finally mine, I test loaded it with my tent, stove, fuel, and some clothes to get a feel for it. After I got all of the straps set correctly, it was almost like I wasn't wearing anything at all.
For someone who was used to being keenly aware of the load on my back due to improper fitting, this was heaven. It was since proven to be durable, but most importantly, comfortable. Finally, a pack that could carry all of my gear without killing my back.
Of course, it looks cool too, which is always a plus. Its pockets are conveniently placed, and each are big enough to carry a wide variety of gear.
Design: Top-loading internal
Size: 5000 c.i.
Number of Pockets: 6
Max. Load Carried: 45 lbs so far
Height of Owner: 5'7'
Price Paid: $148
I have just bought this backpack and I am one who will look at prices for months and compare packs. This pack had the most features and is awesome. You can buy it from www.bobwards.com for this same price.
Size: 5000
Height of Owner: 6'2"
Price Paid: $129.99
I'm a relatively short (5'6" on a good day) male backpacker and have tried a variety of packs over the years, including expensive Gregory's. For a short torso, I've never found a better value -- good fit, great features, relatively lightweight, and durable for a great price. Plenty of space for extended treks (I've done 7-12 day trips with this pack) and I really like the layout of the pockets and internal divides. It's my favorite pack.
Design: top loading w/rear access
Size: 5000 cu in
Number of Pockets: 1 top, 2 sides, 2 rear
Max. Load Carried: 47 lbs

WARSAW — As fresh fighting erupted in eastern Ukraine, President Barack Obama sought Tuesday to reassure allies in Eastern Europe with a new offer of military aid to bolster security and counter what he called "provocative actions" by Russia.
Obama promised to ask Congress for money to beef up the U.S. air, land and sea presence, and to increase military exercises and training in the region. The president said he wants U.S. naval forces to increase deployments to the Black and Baltic seas and to deepen NATO partnerships with countries in the region, including Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
WARSAW — As fresh fighting erupted in eastern Ukraine, President Barack Obama sought Tuesday to reassure allies in Eastern Europe with a new offer of military aid to bolster security and counter what he called "provocative actions" by Russia.
Obama promised to ask Congress for money to beef up the U.S. air, land and sea presence, and to increase military exercises and training in the region. The president said he wants U.S. naval forces to increase deployments to the Black and Baltic seas and to deepen NATO partnerships with countries in the region, including Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
Obama, who arrived in Poland for the first stop of a four-day trip to Europe, aimed to soothe anxiety that has grown among Russia's neighbors since Moscow this year seized the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.
European security is the "cornerstone of our own security and it is sacrosanct. ... It is a commitment that is particularly important at this point in time," Obama said, standing in front of four U.S. F-16 fighter jets.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities claimed significant progress in their off-and-on fight against Russian separatists in the east of the country, but the separatists said the claims were exaggerated.
Parliament speaker Oleksandr Turchynov said Ukrainian army and security forces stormed a secret "terrorist" camp in the Donetsk region, killing scores of people, and officials also claimed to have inflicted major damage on separatists near the city of Slovyansk.
"Today in the morning, many terrorists were destroyed in the camp they had secretly set up in the industrial zone near the town of Severodonetsk" in Donetsk, Turchynov told a session of parliament. "Now our anti-terrorist operation forces are conducting ... active measures aimed at liberating Severodonetsk."
There were widely conflicting reports about heavy fighting near Slovyansk, the Donetsk city that has been the epicenter of the pro-Russia rebellion. Some Russian-speaking Ukrainians, assisted by heavily armed Russians who have streamed across the border, are seeking to secede from Ukraine, following the lead of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia this year.
A Ukrainian government official, Vladislav Seleznev, said Ukrainian forces had killed as many as 300 secessionists on the outskirts of Slovyansk.
The head of the pro-Russia group holding Slovyansk, however, said only two of his men were killed in the fighting, and 12 wounded.
Vyacheslav Ponomaryov also said his separatist forces had shot down a Ukrainian SU-25 combat jet and an MI-24 helicopter and burned six Ukrainian army armored vehicles. Seleznev denied that had occurred.
None of the claims could be independently confirmed.
The fighting was reported to be on the eastern outskirts of Slovyansk, with especially heavy combat near the outlying areas of Semyonovka and Krasny Liman.
Ponomaryov, who calls himself the mayor of Slovyansk, insisted that his forces had held their own.
"Our actions were very successful today, as we repelled three attacks and currently are holding our positions," he said in a telephone interview from Slovyansk. "We are bracing now for a major storm of the town."
Russian authorities announced last week that they helped evacuate over 100 children from Slovyansk to a summer camp in Crimea and offered Ukraine authorities help delivering humanitarian aid to the conflict-stricken regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. The offer was bluntly rejected; Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Yevgeny Perebeynos, suggested that Russia withdraw its militants from the regions instead.
The Kremlin has denied that it has aided the secessionist movement, but Russian nationals have been identified among the separatists, and they have been heavily armed with military weapons.
Some European officials say Washington has let its commitment to defend allies slide as the Obama administration has focused on competing priorities in the Middle East and Asia.
Obama offered to call on Congress to create a "European reassurance fund" of up to $1 billion that would bolster NATO readiness, particularly in its eastern flank. Obama also reiterated U.S. concerns that North Atlantic Treaty Organization members fall short of their targets for funding their militaries.
Obama's visit to Poland comes as the former Communist nation is celebrating its 25th anniversary since its first free elections. The anniversary and the Solidarity movement that spurred the peaceful shift were repeatedly held up by both Polish and U.S. leaders as a model for the fledgling government in Ukraine.
"Poles know better than most how precious freedom is," Obama said.
He warned of additional economic sanctions and political isolation for Russia if President Vladimir Putin does not respect Ukraine's sovereignty and new government.
Obama is due to meet Wednesday with Ukraine's President-elect Petro Poroshenko. He does not plan to meet formally with Putin, although the two will cross paths at a memorial honoring the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landing at Normandy this week.
Obama attended a dinner at the Royal Palace honoring former Solidarity movement leaders, including former Polish President Lech Walesa, who has said the U.S. president has shirked his responsibilities.
Walesa, in an interview with CNN that aired Tuesday, said that the world lacks "politically moral leadership" and that Americans "should finally start acting like a superpower again."

'Dancing With the Stars' recap: Gone too soon
Halloween came early to the "Dancing With the Stars" ballroom as Week 7 offered a night of crazy costumes, tons of makeup, a bunch of sweet, high-stepping treats and one cruel elimination of a trick.
The trick, of course, was the surprise elimination of Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and her partner Sasha Farber, which stunned the crowd into silence. Bill Engvall and Emma Slater were also in the bottom two, and it was widely assumed that the low-scoring comedian would be the latest star booted from the glitterverse.
"Pocket rocket" Nicole's worked tirelessly and her dancing's grown leaps and bounds. She was also visibly upset by this result.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
"I can't even talk right now," a teary Nicole said. Unfortunately, her bloody team dance makeup made it look as though she had feasted on a squirrel monkey and made this somber exit that much more ghastly. "Why am I leaving a zombie?" she moaned. "Zombies come back!" Tom replied optimistically.
It was a macabre ending to a hard "DWTS" week filled with "mid-season blues." Good thing we got two triumphant Team Dances.
Team Spooky Bom Bom, consisting of Elizabeth & Val, Bill & Emma, Nicole & Sasha, and Leah & Tony, went first, and theirs was a graveyard delight. Yes, the team was composed of "underdogs" but the motley crew really came together in a Beetlejuicy, "Thriller"-like event. Bill was the Ichabod Crane-type figure who happened upon the other undead dancers. Leah looked like Helena Bonham Carter. "The parts together were tight and right on the money. The individual bits were fun," Len said. "I never thought you could have so much fun with the walking dead," Bruno said. Carrie Ann said it was "thoroughly entertaining" and Bill was "the glue that held that performance together." Total: 27.
Next came Team Foxing Awesome — made up of Amber & Derek (who has yet to lose a group dance), Brant & Peta, Corbin & Karina, and Jack & Cheryl and set to that head-scratching YouTube sensation "What Does the Fox Say." And put me in a furry suit and stick me in the forest: Team Foxing Awesome really was … foxing awesome. The routine matched the energy and extreme battiness of Ylvis' paean to animals and pulled off a furry-laden performance that was like an "Arrested Development" chicken dance montage meets "Where The Wild Things Are" on LSD — without missing a beat. "That was so clever. That was so inventive, the choreography gave me goosebumps!" Bruno purred. "I feel like I was just on an acid trip," Carrie Ann said. "All your choreography was completely in sync." Both dances had Len up in applause, but this one "was full of little touches that made it irresistible," he said. So irresistible that it got a perfect 30!
FALL TV 2013: Watch the trailers
Here's how each individual couple fared:
Both Amber Riley and Derek Hough's bum knee and back, respectively, were hampering their efforts to perform the perfect paso doble. Derek's done trying to please the fickle Len. He's more concerned with his back, and with Amber's frustration at not being able to move the way she wanted. Derek reminded her that this is the point in the competition where contestants get injured or tired, or where they step up. And whoa, did they really step up in this show-stopping performance! Amber's skirt swooshing showed her knee braces, but her fierce game face and amazingly lithe, sharp movements did not betray any sort of handicap whatsoever. Bruno told Amber she was "full of depth and flavor and full of color" but cautioned her to be careful of her shoulders. Carrie Ann nearly exploded with glee. "You slayed the beast!" she exclaimed. "You lift this ballroom up." Len loved "every nuance in that music was picked out. You are back in the game!" 32 (last week) + 29 (paso doble) + 30 (team dance) = 91.
Brant Daugherty was determined not to let the jive get the best of him, and even put in extra time in his backyard to develop his muscle memory. Peta Murgatroyd played Mariah Carey with the ice cream cart while Brant just played adorable in red suspenders and plaid pants in this tutti-frutti-flavored routine. Peta lost her skirt (sexy) but then Brant slipped on it (not so sexy). Bruno thought the jive was "fully loaded" but Brant "lost timing a couple of times." Carrie Ann agreed. "The routine was just a hair too challenging for you," she said, though she liked how Brant pushed himself and "missed not one step." Len loved Brant's "energy," "attack" and "enthusiasm." "After I slipped on the skirt I thought the whole thing was over," Brant confessed." It's a metaphor of my life, really." Interest: piqued. 31 (last week) + 27 (jive) + 30 (team dance) = 88.
Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Valentin Chmerkovskiy were coming off their perfect 30 score from last week and ended up with a "technically intense" quickstep. And while they hoped for an out of this world performance with their alien-themed routine, it didn't quite reach the same stratospheric heights time around (though kudos to Troupe member Henry for ably playing what Tom called "the Edward R. Murrow of ballroom"). "That was a U.F.O.: utterly full on," Len said, though they "lost a bit of body contact occasionally." "No need to panic: the aliens are not coming!" Bruno assured. Carrie Ann was impressed with how far Elizabeth's grown as a ballroom dancer. "I think the hold and the frame and the body contact is coming." 32 (last week) + 27 (quickstep) + 27 (team dance) = 86.
Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff were determined to avenge last week's Red Wedding-like massacre from the judges with their cha-cha. So much so that Karina kept tinkering with the choreography until the last minute. The pursuit of perfection paid off, as their cha-cha ended up like sunshine after the rain, with glum Corbin transformed by Karina, looking like a cross between a literal ray of sunshine and Big Bird's Vegas-bound sister. "Crystal-clear moves, the timing, the shape, the finish — immaculate!" Bruno said. "That was the tightest cha-cha I've ever seen – I could have put a quarter in there and we would have lost it," Carrie Ann said, venturing into questionable language territory. Len added to his own vocabulary by admitting he's "not a lover of the gyratery," but conceded that all the gyrating "fitted beautifully with the music." 27 (last week) + 29 (cha-cha) + 30 (team dance) = 86.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi had grand plans to channel Beyoncé and attack the dance floor like a Chihuahua. Or, you know, a squirrel monkey. She even wore animal print for her samba. But her grueling traveling schedule finally caught up to her, her son had a fever, and Nicole found herself moving more like a zombie (or a turtle) than Sasha Fierce. But the judges thought her samba with Sasha Farber, set to Black Eyed Peas' "Hey Mama," was decidedly more alive than undead. Len said she got "a little screwed up in your feet" but the dance had "speed and showed rhythm and control." "It took you a little while," Bruno said, but "once you got into it, it was good." Carrie Ann did not like the Chihuahua reference. "Sometimes you're ahead of the movement because you stop too quickly," she cautioned. "Extend your movement just a little bit." 30 (last week) + 27 (samba) + 27 (team dance) = 84.
"Week 7 — this is like big boy stuff," Jack Osbourne said. Jack also hit a wall this week with his jive training. Jack felt a "bit of the mid-season blues" but Cheryl Burke encouraged him to hold his head up and hold on. And hold on he did, prancing all over the dance floor and all the way up to the top of the grand staircase. Len commended Jack's lightness and musicality, though "I'd like the jive to be a bit crisper in the feet." Bruno also liked Jack's ease of movement but said at times Jack went "a bit flat-footed." Carrie Ann, however, said this dance "was perfectly suited for you" — and even awarded him a perfect 10 for his efforts. Which seemed a bit excessive (and does it count if the paddle breaks?). But "I'm built for comfort, not speed, so this is a big deal," Jack said. 27 (last week) + 27 (jive) + 30 (team dance) = 84.
Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani were coming off of their season-high score of 27 last week. "I'm not used to being that happy," Leah admitted. Tony tried to ratchet up the complexity of their salsa with a whole new set of dance ingredients. And with more lifts! Chelsea Handler was in the audience lending her support. And despite suffering from a rib injury, Leah showed a lot of hustle in her bustle in her snappy, sassy routine. "You are in the zone my dear!" Carrie Ann exulted. "That was like going to the hottest salsa club." Len liked that Leah "kept my interest throughout" though "one or two of the lifts weren't quite clean enough." Bruno said Leah went "salsalicious on me." 28 (last week) + 26 (salsa) + 27 (team dance) = 81.
It was all about Vegas this week for Bill Engvall. The comedian was in Sin City last Friday for a stand-up show, and he and Emma Slater also performed their quickstep to Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas." And kudos to Bill for gamely channeling his idol while Emma served as the King's Tropicana girl with a feather bustle. "The good news is that you did not break hold – the bad news, the hold wasn't strong enough to support the dance," Carrie Ann said. Len liked how the routine "had speed and it had energy" but "you lost your technique in places," he said. "If I could judge with my heart, you'd get a 10." "You rolled the dice and you hoped for the best and you had a good go," said Bruno, who sure sounded like he expected this week to be Bill's last. 24 (last week) + 23 (quickstep) + 27 (team dance) = 74.
What do you think, ballroom fans? Surprised to see Snooki leaving the competition? Excited about Cher next week? Were these the best team dances to date?

I just lost my job and will not be able to afford the financial commitments involved with being a bridesmaid. Is it okay to back out?
If serious economic crisis or other serious circumstances cause you to reconsider your role as an attendant, let the bride and groom know immediately. While the news may be upsetting at first, perhaps there will be a way for them to help you out so that you can still fill your role.
Attempting to back out for any reason other than an economic, health, or family crisis beyond your control is a risky move and generally not advised. Talk to the couple about any concerns, and things will usually work themselves out.

The Pro:Motion Keyboard goes one step beyond regular ergonomic keyboards by incorporating motors that shift both angle and separation between keys throughout the day in order to prevent you from getting carpal tunnel syndrome.
There's a total of seven different "stations" that it cycles through, and only costs $130—not too horrible for a fancy keyboard. Seeing as regular ergo keyboards are proven to work at lessening the painful effects of typing too much, even if the motors don't work, you'll still have an ergo keyboard.

Truck – Motorcycle Crash Results in Fatality at Missoula Intersection [AUDIO]
A collision between a pickup truck and a motorcycle Friday night, September 6, has resulted in the death of the motorcyclist.
Sergeant Rick Stevenson of the Missoula Police Department said late Friday night, that the incident occurred at about 8:30 p.m. at the intersection of South 3rd West and Reserve Street.
"Upon arrival, officers observed the two vehicles involved, an older model pickup truck and a motorcycle, were still in the intersection," Stevenson said. "The 34 year-old motorcyclist was deceased at the scene. The 73 year-old driver of the pickup truck was uninjured and was cooperating with the ongoing investigation."
Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the fatal accident to contact Detective Mark Blood at 552-6281, or Detective J.C. Denton at 552-6292.
The name of the motorcyclist is being withheld pending the notification of his family.

Letter to Senators on S. 2578, Protect Women's Health From Corporate Interference Act
Thank you for your commitment to protect and support life at all stages. Our Party is stronger with diverse voices and Members, like you, who are willing to stand up for their convictions.As you know, the Senate recently failed to garner the 60 votes necessary to begin debate on S. 2578, Protect Women's Health From Corporate Interference Act. We wanted to share our concerns with you should this issue come before the Senate again.
First and most important, this bill is unnecessary. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) already adopted a measure for religious non-profits that object to contraception coverage, whereby the insurer provides coverage directly to the employee, without co-pays, with no employer involvement. That regulation can easily accommodate for-profit close corporations, like Hobby Lobby, whose owners have a conflict of religious conscience in paying for drugs or devices that could cause abortion. As Justice Kennedy put it in his crucial opinion in the case, "[this] accommodation equally furthers the Government's interest [in ensuring employees free contraception coverage] but does not impinge on the plaintiffs' religious beliefs." Pro-life Democrats should vigorously support this accommodation, which is both reasonable and sensible for women and for conscience rights. Under it, women receive full and free coverage and employers' consciences are protected—a win-win solution that pro-life Democrats should support.
Second, the principles behind S. 2578 have extremely troubling implications—including laying the groundwork for requiring employers to cover and fund procedures that everyone agrees are abortions. The bill's rationale is that requiring a for-profit business to cover a health procedure in insurance is too distant a connection to be a burden on its owners' conscience, and that refusing coverage improperly "imposes" on employees. That same logic would allow a requirement that employers cover and fund second-trimester abortions. The issue is not hypothetical. Using the above logic, the Washington State House passed a bill, the Reproductive Parity Act, to require all insurers who cover maternity care to also cover abortion. The bill did not pass the Washington State Senate, but laying this groundwork is an important goal for those who support abortion and public funding of abortion.
Conscience rights have long been protected through legislative actions and judicial rulings. The Supreme Court's narrow ruling would affect only a small number of corporations, who, like Hobby Lobby are "closely held "corporations – owned by five or fewer people – and hold "sincere religious beliefs." Especially given the established accommodation bypassing the employer, S. 2578 is unnecessary to solve the problem, and it would create precedent that should greatly concern pro-life Democrats.
Like you, we support affordable and accessible health care for all. S. 2578 does not address affordability or accessibility for the over 40 million Americans who do not have and cannot afford health insurance.
We hope you will consider our concerns and oppose this legislation—and support using the existing accommodation—should the Senate decide to bring this issue up again.

Ernstweiler (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)
Ernstweiler, a village near Zweibrücken in the Palatinate, Germany, where a Mennonite congregation has been meeting since about 1770, which had its origin about 1680. It was formerly called the Gemeinde bei Zweibrücken. Its members are descendants of refugees from the canton of Bern in Switzerland who settled in Alsace and the Palatinate at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th, whence they gradually made their way to the duchy of Zweibrücken. They lived scattered on farms and mills or singly in villages as renters or owners of farms. At first they met in rotation on the Heidelbingerhof, Ernstweilerhof, Kahlenbergerhof, Freishauserhof, Hornbacherhof, Neuhof, and Kirchheimerhof. Early preachers were Johannes Schöny 1749, Johannes Lehmann 1745, Johann Schmidt 1755, Peter Böhn 1757, Joseph Schnebele 1762, Christian Lehmann 1813 (elder 1819), Jakob Schnebele 1829. The Ibersheim resolutions of 1803 were signed for the "congregation near Zweibrücken" by Ulrich Lehmann. Other later preachers were Jakob Finger of Bamsterhof, Christian Lehmann, Jr., of Waldhausen, Joseph Dahlem of Hunackerhof, Weber of Hornbacherhof, Böhr of Unterhof. In 1843 the congregation built a church in Ernstweiler. In 1876 the Ernstweiler congregation united with Kühbörncheshof and Neudorferhof in maintaining a preacher. They were served 1876-79 by S. Blickensdörfer of the Kohlhof, a teacher at the school at Weierhof, and previously a student at the missionary school in Basel (Mennonitische Blätter, 1877, 15), the first trained and salaried minister. When he was called to Sembach his place was filled by A. Hirschler of Kaiserslautern, who served 50 years 1880-1930. He was followed by A. Harder 1931-35, and H. Scheffler 1935-37. In 1898 the church was incorporated. In 1923 the congregation numbered about 140 souls. In 1937 it was merged with Ixheim to form the Zweibrücken congregation. At that time it had 114 baptized members.

Mayor Adrian Fenty ran in 2006 as a different kind of politician, and he was accepted with open arms and hailed as something of a savior to a city known more for its corruption and inefficiency than its competency.
But residents that once cheered the new era turned sour, and the smiling, charismatic mayor lost the will of the people and ultimately this year's Democratic primary to Mayor-elect Vincent Gray. Controversial school closings and what some viewed as rampant development brought to the surface long-simmering tensions.
"A City Divided," a special edition of American University's graduate online publication, the American Observer, takes an in-depth look at community tensions throughout Washington, D.C. Voters were split on almost every major issue, schools and development chief among them. That divide was also seen along racial lines and from ward-to-ward.
You'll read stories about a gay bar in a historically black neighborhood, hear the voices of those in barber shops in radically different Ward 8 and Ward 3, as well as learn what "gentrification" means to Anacostia residents, and much more.
The multimedia site — featuring a graphic of the District with multimedia narratives embedded —seeks to tell the kind of stories that often go untold, the narratives that unfold in a visceral way in neighborhoods across the city that affect how District residents live.
Also be sure to check out our panel discussion, shot in high definition in AU's revamped television studio. The three panelists, representing a range of opinions, look back to September's primary and forward into Gray's new term beginning in January, as well as provide a fuller understanding of the issues affecting Washington, D.C.
We hope you enjoy and become a part of the conversation.
