want to create a problem set that has cells with a certain style
(probably Input or some new style that is a variant of Input)
locked down so that the students can not see them at all or just
see an unevaluatable placeholder instead. But I also want a cell
within the notebook that permits someone with a password (like
me) to make these hidden cells visible and evaluatable. Extra
credit: it would be cool if I could relock these cells so that
they reverted to their hidden form. Concession: Maybe the
unlocking cell does not have to be in the notebook but could be
a function in an external notebook that worked on the problem
set notebook. Right now I accomplish the basic idea by having
two notebooks, one with the answers and one without them. But
this is ugly and leads to synchronization errors as I change my
mind. Ideas welcome. Obviously, simpler is better.

vegetarian persuasion, tofurkey day. It's that time of year when
hopefully you will be seeing your relatives gathered, catching
up with cousins you'd forgotten, getting pinched on the cheek by
your grandparents. Besides being an opportunity to chow down,
though, Thanksgiving is a great chance for creative teens to
work on their people watching. Writers are not just in the
business of story writing; they're also dedicated story
collectors. We're hungry for stories and we listen for them
whenever we can. Chances are, one of your relatives has a story

1.403405 | 0.476282 | 118 | About DTS Art Ringger Art RinggerWhat do you get when you
cross a veterinarian and a minister? Answer: DTS alumnus Art
Ringger. Having worked as a vet for 17 years, Art changed
careers in 1988 and came to Dallas Seminary for a Master's in
Christian Education. "It actually wasn't as big a leap as you
might think," Art said. "As a vet, I dealt with life-and-death
issues and with the emotional struggles of people who had
attachments to their animals because of painful personal
relationships. In ministry, you deal with many of the same
issues—it's just a different context." Art had become a
believer in college and quickly involved himself at a local
church. Soon he was teaching middle school and high school
students, and he began to realize that he was drawn more to the
ministry he was doing on the side than to the work he did during
the day. "My vet practice soon became sort of a tent-making
venture," he said. "It was how I made my money so I could
support the ministry I was doing." But he says he has neve |

Should the U.S. Attack Iraq? Will we ever know why the elder
and younger Presidents Bush have such a fervent obsession with
toppling Iraq? Morally, can the United States government
justify making war on the people of Iraq on the grounds that it
possesses weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. is the only
nation ever to have used the atomic bomb? It all comes down to
the laying out of a solid premise. Every dramatist is familiar
with premise. It’s the foundation of all good drama. It’s a
surefire way of building something from nothing and having
people buy into it. A solid premise can always be made into a
well-made play. And a solid premise can always sell a war to the

for a prime minister. But for every male voter, there is also a
female voter, who is liable to be offended by his patronizing
tone, ascribe it to male chauvinism and punish Barak for it

Inquiry 6: How does it work? Cameras & Photography Since the
time of Aristotle people have been able to view pinhole images,
originally as shapes flickering through tiny holes made between
several overlapping leaves. Pinhole photography, however, was
developed later and involves the capturing of those images and
shapes onto film using a tiny hole, instead of a lens. In a
pinhole camera, light passes through the hole and an image is
formed on the back wall of the instrument. The image that
appears is upside down because light travels in straight lines.
Therefore, light traveling from above goes straight through the
hole to the bottom of the camera wall and light traveling from
below goes straight through the hole to the top of the camera
wall. Thus, if you were looking at an outdoor scene with a

Among the major U.S. newspapers, only the Los Angeles Times
gives Pearl Harbor a snappy salute. Curiously, the Times' review
is not written by lead critic Kenneth Turan but by the
newspaper's veteran movie writer, Kevin Thomas, whose taste in
films generally runs to independent and foreign-produced fare,
not big blockbusters. Thomas calls the film "a superb
reenactment" of the events of Dec. 7, 1941 that also provides
"an engaging love story" and reels off at "a brisk pace that
makes this three-hour war epic seem like half that time." The
filmmakers, he concludes, "have given us a Pearl Harbor to
remember." Compare those words with these of Glenn Whipp, film
critic for the cross-town Los Angeles Daily News: Director
Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have created a movie,
he writes, "that is so clichéd and boring that even the WB
television network would reject it out of hand for being too

the Senate that makes it illegal to possess, sell or distribute
a shark fin in New York State. chairman of the Senate's
Environmental Conservation Committee, Grisanti said he was
pleased to sponsor a bill that he says will help preserve an
important species of our ecosystem. "With this new law now on
the books, sharks will be able to live in a stable environment
in the ocean," Senator Grisanti said. "New York is doing its
part to help prevent the killing of sharks to supply the growing
global demand for their fins." Under current law, it is illegal
to "fin" a shark in New York waters, a practice where a shark
unable to swim or pass water across its gills, eventually dies

Yet, speaking purely for myself, it's far too soon to claim any

questions, solutions, and even as 'carpet-bombing' becomes the

that they won't stop any of the marriages while waiting for "the

if they do freeze upcoming marriages, the Catholic Action League

then TNA Impact may be the game for you. It has some aggravating
problems, but it does a good job of translating the excitement
of TNA Wrestling into fluid action and visceral fun. A
wrestling game is only as fun as the moves you can perform, and
in this regard, TNA Impact does quite well. You ratchet up your

In: Physica Status Solidi: Rapid Research Letters, Jg. 5 (2011),
S. 68 - 70 ISSN: 1862-6254 Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
Thin amorphous tantalum films are prepared on Si(111) substrates
in a metallic glassy state. The amorphous monoatomic state of
the film is characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. The
glassy state leads to a negative temperature coefficient of the
resistivity (TCR) for low sample temperatures <200 K which is
attributed to incipient localization. Above 200 K a positive TCR
is observed as expected for a normal Boltzmann transport regime.
Upon heating the Si substrate to 1200 K TaSi2 is formed out of
the amorphous tantalum film and the silicon substrate. The TaSi2
layer is crystalline as evident from X-ray diffraction data.

Tara Platt (the voice of Temari) and Yuri Lowenthal (voice of

First off, please introduce yourselves and talk a little bit
about how you got into voice acting for Naruto. Tara: My name

Naruto because I had done Marmalade Boy, which is also a popular

the poverty line. Sounds noble enough. Current minimum wage pays
around $13,000 for full-time work, and the poverty level for a

minimum wage. Sounds good for the worker. But let's run some

the worker. Since the plumbing business is in a slump, let's

OutdoorsBy John SchandelmeierJanuary 6, 2014 January is a
rather strange time to be thinking about frogs in Alaska.
However, I crossed a small open creek while traveling with the
dog team a few days ago and frogs came to mind. As a kid growing
up, I used to catch frogs and tadpoles from a pond near our
house. I'd bring them home to live in jars and tubs for a week
or so. I never could figure out why they wouldn't eat mosquitoes
out of my hand. The ponds where these small frogs lived in the
early spring always dried up and the frogs were gone.
Occasionally I'd find one hopping in the woods during the summer
but by moose season they were all gone. Where did they go? Our
Alaska frogs are wood frogs. They don't go anywhere in winter.
They stay in the leaf litter on the ground and freeze solid. The
little frogs' hearts stop and they quit breathing. Spring comes
and they warm up and get on with life. That's a lot cheaper than

showerLaCucaracha native, Jim Swarthing, spent upwards of 45
minutes in the shower this morning, but when asked by his wife
“what he was doing in there” Swarthing could only muster a
muddled, incoherent response that left his wife unsatisfied.
When pressed further by his spouse, Swarthing became
increasingly testy with his responses. He began by treating the
inquiry as a really stupid question. “Well, duh,” said Swarthing
sarcastically, “I was bathing.” Without missing a beat, his wife
responded, “For 45 minutes?” Swarthing then elaborated by
stating that he had “some hard…places to clean. Some spots just
needed extra…cleaning.” In addition, Swarthing explained, he
had to wash and condition his hair. Read more… Categories:

Update On The Decider's Illegal Spying On Americans By The
Reverend Published: October 3, 2007 If there were the votes in
the Congress for impeachment, repeated violations of the fourth
amendment and FISA laws through eavesdropping on the
communications of Americans without a warrant, would be the
convicting charge. Only four top officials at the Justice
Department were given access to details about a warrantless
surveillance program that Justice lawyers ultimately determined
was partially illegal, a former department lawyer testified
today. Jack L. Goldsmith, former head of the Justice
Department's Office of Legal Counsel, told the Senate Judiciary
Committee that access to the surveillance program was so tightly
controlled that even the attorney general did not know all the
details. Goldsmith also testified that the White House
initially resisted allowing then-Deputy Attorney General James
B. Comey to be briefed on the program at a time when t |

alternative to Cpap any experiences? So my in law relative he
uses one of these CPAP machines with mask. Them have a fan that
is going the whole night. They have destilled water to not dry
out the air ways. And people report that when it misalign it
sounds like waterfall. Some get allergic to the mask. Them
cost a lot and you have to pay for a new mask say one a year or
so? So I do look for alternatives. What I found by random luck
is only for mild apnea and I trust that I have the severe sort.
I have sound recorded during the night and it do seems
reasonable to name it severe. Which is bad due to such stop

3.277816 | 5.325994 | -1 | Take the 2-minute tour × I am contemplating starting up a web-
based text game for my D&D group to be played alongside our
weekly sessions. The idea would be to play through events
related to the main storyline, but not so involved that the
outcomes would directly affect our current adventure. I don't
want to require everyone to be online at once (or else this is
just another session), so IRC and chatrooms are out. I am
looking for a method that allows us to play at a slow pace but
gives everyone a chance to respond to what the GM says before
moving onward with the story or the combat. The only idea that
comes to mind is a forum-based game with heavy restrictions
(e.g. each player must post a response or opt out of responding
before the GM posts again). For combats I would post maps with
the position of all the monsters and characters between each
turn. Does anyone have any experience running a game like this?

her where she stood in a floury apron by the window. Now she
dusts the board with a goose's wing, now sits, broad-lapped,

that R can't read PMML and turn it back into an object that can
be used for scoring. It can only write it. Is there any
alternative to saving it as an R object with the save command?

for training is attached to it. share|improve this question

useful for some of that object's methods. Maybe not the specific

look for features in a laptop. But really, two processor cores?
1.5Gig of RAM? I don't even need that in my desktop, let alone a
laptop. I recently destroyed my latop. Broken network socket,
giant radial crack in the screen from stepping on it, and a dead
hard drive. Yes, hardware doesn't like me, and I certainly
don't like it. So I'm in the market for a new laptop. My basic
demands are: 1. 512 meg of RAM 2. Wireless networking 3. If
at all possible, costs less than $1100. That last one would be
the certain clincher. In Australia, $1000 + $100 GST is what
they call the immediate depreciation limit. If you purchase an
asset (as a business) below this threshold, you can write off
the entire asset immediately. The is incredibly attractive

experiment, measurement, computable physics The standard
second law of theormodynamics? states that in a closed system of
classical mechanics or quantum mechanics the (coarse-grained)
entropy is non-decreasing with time. This is statement is to be
tacitly understood as applying to dynamics taking place on an
a-priori fixed spacetime (a fixed “background”). If however one
takes also gravity into account as part of the “system”, then
the statement of the second law becomes much more subtle. The
generalized second law of theoremodynamics is an attempt to
generalize the naive second law to general relativity. A central
idea is that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of horizons (such as
of black holes) has to be added to the naive entropy of the
matter in the “universe”. A detailed discussion is in •
