Q: How to pass an input from c++ function to the main function i want to take an input from c++ function and return it to the main function
, i've already tried to do it but the function returns zero , any idea ?
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int input( int x);
int main()
{
    int number;
    input(number);
    cout<<number;

}
int input (int x)
{
    cin>>x;
    return  x;
}

A: you need to pass by reference
 void input (int & x)
 {
   cin>>x;
 }

or use the return value
int main()
{
  int number;
  number = input();
  cout<<number;
}

int input ()
{
  cin>>x;
  return  x;
}

A: You can change your function to make it take x by reference:
void input (int& x)
{
    cin>>x;
}

This way, you don't even need to return x, because your function will update its value as it is passed by reference.

A: So, let's get it from the begining :
It any function, all its variables are temporary and only accessible in this function's scope unless you use a pointer or a reference(c++ only)
So what happen when you call your function is that a copy of number's is created into x
Also, the return statement of a function is used to... return values! Yeah, weird uh?
So actually you don't even need to send any parameter to your function and just take its result :
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int input();
int main()
{
    int number = input(); // Takes what the return statement gives
    cout<<number;

}
int input ()
{
    int x;
    cin>>x;
    return  x;
}

Here's another way by using c++'s references :
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void input( int& x);
int main()
{
    int number;
    input(number);
    cout<<number;

}
int input (int& x)//Takes number's address
{
    cin>>x;
}

Rotax Your Rhino places third at 2011 PitBull Tires King of the Hammers
The 2010 Whiplash Racing Pro-Mod champions Brian Bush of Rotax Your Rhino, and co-driver Greg Frantz of Lonestar Racing, take home a third place finish in their first running of the King Of The Hammers!
In 2010, Brian decided that he, and Lonestar Racing had molded his 2006 Yamaha Rhino into a machine that could not only finish what has been described as the toughest off-road race in the world, but he believed he could race with the leaders (the who's who of UTV racing), and finish in the front of the pack. Unfortunately, he runs a Rotax V-twin engine, and was ineligible due to the fact that this particular engine was never offered in a UTV from the factory.
July 1, 2010, Can-Am released the all new Can-Am Commander which comes stock with the same popular engine that Brian, and many others currently run in their outdated Yamaha Rhino's. Brian's first reaction to this news was that he would be in contention to enter the 2011 running of the King of the Hammers!
The team ran the Whiplash Offroad Racing Series in 2010, and did surprisingly well for their first entry into an entire race series. The Pro-Mod championship was theirs for the taking. The car that Brian built only had 1 part failure during the whole series, causing their only DNF for the season. (Wheel studs)
When it came time to prepare for KOH, there wasn't too much to do to the car. Brian installed a set of 3/8" UHMW skid plates from Factory UTV, a Quickshot spare tire and jack mount from Pro-Armor, a set of Pitbull Rocker 26.5" tires, a second battery and bracket from Rhino Parts and Performance, and a hand-me-down winch from his friends at Freedom RV in Tucson
The two didn't have time to get to Hammer Town early enough to pre-run the race course. Because of this they were quite nervous and spent most of the night before the race worrying, and reading race course maps and strategizing the run. "I must say that the course markers were clear and well laid out. Thanks to Reid Nordin for the time he invested in this"
The morning of the race was a frigid one. Some were reporting temperatures under 30 degrees. Brian and Greg made their way to the starting line and were placed in 16th position out of 18. Once they were rolling, and nerves were settling, Brian began to get a feel for his taller ride height, larger tires, and no sway bar. By the first technical section they had passed two or three cars and were making their way over the first obstacle when they encountered stopped race traffic and a race car blocking the course. At this point Greg exited the vehicle to assist the stuck racer. During this time, Brian shifted the car into reverse and immediately felt the shifter linkage break. With some quick thinking, he was able to remove a portion of the engine cover and discovered he could shift the transmission by reaching into the engine compartment. By the time Greg was back to the car, at least five minutes had passed and the stuck race car was still blocking the course. Greg scouted an alternate route down and around the stopped traffic. Once the team made it down the mountain and into the valley, Brian put his foot in it and didn't look back.
Save for the broken shifter, the LSR XTR-F suspended Rhino was working flawlessly and they were able to take on some of the biggest whoops and ruts they had ever seen. Not much was slowing them down. When they made their way into the first named rock section called "Elvis", there were a number of stuck, and/or slow moving vehicles blocking the course. Again, Greg got out to assist those drivers through this section. What took probably only five minutes felt like an eternity to Brian who was as patient as could be. Once these vehicles were moved, Brian quickly made his way down through the rock section with Greg spotting him.
Once back at race speed, Brian was driving as if he was going to win this race. They had no idea where they stood, but assumed it was towards the front of the pack as they had already passed a handful of cars, and some that were broken on the side of the course.
When they reached the second named rock section, "Aftershock" they immediately knew that this section was going to be the "make or break" part of the course. After rounding the first corner they were greeted with an excited audience that was cheering them on. While running this section, Greg was out of the car spotting for lines. Sometime during this section a number of spectators told Greg that our team was running in first place. Once through the section Greg reentered the race car and told Brian what he had just heard. Neither of them could believe that they were in first place as they knew that they hadn't passed 15 cars. At any rate, this news was enough to excite the two into believing that they would not only finish this race, but finish on the podium. Nervously, Brian once again put his foot in it as to not allow any other racers to catch up. This was met with some resistance from Greg as he wasn't going to allow Brian to throw it away due to his excitement. There were a few "boulders" that Brian hit so hard the car became partially airborne. "We can't say enough good things about Factory UTV's UHMW skid plates."
Once the team made it over the last pass and had a view into Hammer Town, they slowed down for a moment to look for traffic up front, and behind. There was no sign of any traffic in either direction, and the team still didn't know for sure whether they were in the lead or not. What they did know, was that there was nobody behind them for miles.
The last three or so miles was a heavily whooped out downhill sand section with the opportunity to open the car up, and put Lonestar Racing's XTR-F suspension to the test. Brian set the cruise control around 55 mph through this section as it was obvious that we could have gone much faster, but doing so was risking throwing the race away and they were running low on fuel. When the two made it to the "Green"? flag, they were told it was the finish line and that they had placed third!
"This race was by far the best racing experience of my life! There is nothing cooler than high speed desert racing mixed with some of the most demanding and technical rock crawling that a UTV has ever encountered. I have done my share of rock crawling in UTV's, but never under race conditions. This alone makes for an adrenaline rush like no other! Also, the fact that we're able to race our UTV's at what is likely the biggest off-road race in the country, makes it all that much cooler.
I would like to thank my co-driver Greg Frantz for being flat out awesome! He's a level headed guy with the skills and patience to put up with me, and help guide me along the way. I wish you guys could hear our PCI intercom chatter. We're quite hilarious. We're either scared silent, arguing about something, or joking and laughing our ass' off while we race! I wouldn't have had the successes that I've had in off-road racing if it wasn't for him. You rock G."
"I would also like to thank Ultra4Racing, Dave and Jeff Knoll, Reid Nordin, Joey DiGiovanni, Rusty Baptist, and Michael Green of Pitbull Tires for sponsoring this event!
Congratulations to Jagged Extreme for taking home the win, and Mitch Guthrie for his second place finish!"

The Art of Todd McFarlane Q&A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9N2VAHeM5s
I'm very interested in this book since I am a HUGE fan of McFarlane. A couple of years ago I would have easily snapped up the $100 Signed Copy of the book, but now, it's kinda out of my price range. I think I will just stick with the non-signed version at Amazon.
Todd McFarlane's a weird one for me, on the one hand I was young when his stuff came out so he definitely inspired me, but I also have issue with his style in the 90s (I will modify that and say I don't know the most recent of his work that I've seen). Having said that, I'm checking out a Tumblr of his work and I do love his sense of humour when it comes to homages and the like (and he seems like an interesting guy, too), and I do remember his messed up Wizard of Oz toys and that news bit a year or so ago about how some movie company bought the rights to those toys and would make a movie based on them, but of course you can't actually make THAT movie so it wound up being a Ripley-style Dorothy, which is cool but you didn't need THOSE toys and THOSE rights to get you there, did you?
I don't buy art books any more (no money plus no room), but even if I did I probably wouldn't buy this one, but I would TOTALLY take a good hard long look through it as a trip down memory lane. But my art tastes lie elsewhere.
Having said that, he did do the best webbing.
Well before I even think of dropping my cash on this, I need to see more of what's inside. I do like that he is breaking it up into a "picture book", an "autobiography book" and a "how to book". So, you are getting 3 for 1. But I still need to see more first. FYI, his spaghetti webbing is the industry standard now.
Rob Liefeld for the win!!! How NOT to draw like Rob Liefeld
Thank you, I was trying to remember Liefeld's name.
Oh, as I'm searching Tumblr for Todd McFarlane, THIS brilliant bit came up:
Oh yeah, and I knew McFarlane's webbing was standard, I was even drawing it as a kid before I knew who any of these names were.
« Last Edit: November 17, 2012, 03:49:01 pm by Neumatic »
That cover of Spawn is still my favorite of his. I think I still have 10 copies of that. Man, I was on a spending spree win Image Comics exploded onto the scene. Good times....good memories....horribly late. Haha.
I also think, having looked through Tumblr, a big part of it for me is that I just don't dig satanic imagery, legions of hell and decaying flesh and so on. It just never appealed to me, probably because I never believed in hell, the whole lure of the dark and forbidden just didn't work for me. It honestly feels like the ultimate version of the "bad boys smoke" trope... bad boys smoke... and burn.. FOREVER! I mean, a dimension of pain and torment that lasts forever? Get real.
There's always his run on Spider-Man. When they created a new title for McFarlane, I thought (at the time) his art was the greatest thing ever, although the stories were just okay for me. His art now is still fun to look at, but it doesn't have that hold on me that it did when it first came out.
boyinblack80
I've got the rocket and you want the ride..
Todd rules....I think he's one of the best....and glad I'd got to watch an important part of his career grow.
granted the spider-man years were magic...but Spawn early on was pretty cool...albeit very dark/
I think his Spawn run is definitely underrated and part of the reason is that Capullo eclipse him with his own epic run that also had great stories as well. But people need to give Todd's run a second and third look. People seem to only talk about Greg's Spawn more these days. Both were great in their own way.

The Art of Todd McFarlane: The Devil's In The Details
The Art of Todd McFarlane is basically a placeholder for the real Todd McFarlane to talk to you one on one to encourage you to pursue your artistic dreams. Simply put, this book comes in 3 parts. It's one part autobiography, one part art book and one part instructional when Todd gets into explaining the thought process about some of the pieces he has done over the years. In a way, this book is very similar in style and structure of another coffee table book: Icons: The DC Comics & Wildstorm Art of Jim Lee. But what Jim leaves out of the book, Todd includes everything from his formative years. This is where the motivation and idea of The Art Of Todd McFarlane comes to the forefront.
There is something exhilarating to have a superstar of Todd's stature to collect and print in a book all of the drawings leading up to his big break in the Comic Book industry. He is driving home the idea that even the biggest stars have to start somewhere and he is no exception. The drawings, by his choice of words....are crude. We all can relate because we all drew just as bad as he did. But it was his desire to just keep pushing forward and not taking 'no' for an answer. He got plenty of rejections trying to get his foot in the door. He even makes it a point to show the rejections letters that he got, once again pointing out he wasn't immune to having people slam his art at the time.
But the main thing most people are going to want to check out this book is for the art, namely his Spider-Man run and then later his Spawn stuff. It's pretty damn cool to basically see a timeline of Todd's stuff all in one book from his first submissions all the way to and beyond his more revered art pieces. It's just mind boggling to see his transformation from such humble beginnings. I love the book for sure. But I did feel like that I was missing something. Yes, the book is a whopping 400 pages long, but I wanted even more art. Call me greedy, but it is what it is. Also, the last few pages deal with Todd's foray into directing music videos and his toy company. It's an 'autobiography', so I get why it needs to be included. But from the art side, those pages would have been better spent on more art.
Anyway, if you're a fan of Todd McFarlane, Spider-Man, Spawn or Art Coffee Table books, this is the one to get. I highly recommend this as a Buy.

Its been very well documented that the leading cause of firefighter-on-duty deaths is related to heart disease. Recent research has discovered that more than 70% of US firefighters are overweight or obese (click here for the research), exceeding the national average for adults. Obesity and heart disease are a major threat to firefighter health and safety and is associated with an increased risk of job-related disability. Therefore any information regarding decreasing the chances of heart disease are very valuable to the firefighting community.
What I've found is that there is a huge correlation between high cholesterol, high inflammation and heart disease. Did you know that inflammation in the arteries, not necessarily high cholesterol alone, contributes to heart attacks and strokes?
So, one of the best ways to reduce heart disease is to not only reduce cholesterol but to also reduce inflammation in the body. One of the most powerful ways combat inflammation and cholesterol does not come from the pharmacy, but from the grocery store. Choose the right foods, and you may be able to reduce your risk of illness. Consistently pick the wrong ones, and you could accelerate the inflammatory disease process.
This leads to a discussion on another issue facing firefighters…nutrition. Long days, lots of stress, and a culture of unhealthy cooking in the firehouse make it difficult to eat healthy. So today, I wanted to give 4 foods that you can incorporate into your diet that can help reduce cholesterol and inflammation and decrease your waistline and your risk of heart disease. Try to incorporate these foods in your firehouse meals (or any meal) and snacks.
BLUEBERRIES- Daily blueberry consumption reduces oxidative stress and increases anti-inflammatory cells in the body. More directly, eating blueberries every day protects you from inflammation and free radical damage. If you can't find fresh ones, frozen berries work. Deploy them in your breakfast cereal or yogurt or in your fruit salads.
BEETS- These purple roots unleash helpful compounds called nitrites into your blood, expanding your vessels and improving blood flow. Beets are a unique source of betaine, a nutrient that helps protects cells, proteins, and enzymes from environmental stress. It's also known to help fight inflammation, protect internal organs, improve vascular risk factors, enhance performance, and likely help prevent numerous chronic diseases. Serve them as a vegetable during your next meal or throw them into a salad.
ALMONDS- Almonds contain more protein, fiber, and calcium than other widely consumed tree nuts. They are also nutritionally dense and an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, which help reduce inflammation and toxins in the body. Almonds also offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, potassium, calcium, phosphorous and iron. When consumed moderately they can reduce hunger. Try to consume a handful as a snack.
DARK LEAFY GREENS- Mom always told you to eat your dark leafy greens. Kale and other dark leafy greens have a lot of heart-healthy antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, folate, potassium, and vitamin E. They are also rich in lutein, which correlates with protection against early atherosclerosis. Try to eat these healthy dark leafy greens at least once a day. In the firehouse make sure you offer a salad at most meals as a healthy option.
Try to incorporate these 4 foods into your daily firehouse (or any house) menu. Add a solid fitness program (specifically created for firefighters) and reduce the chances of heart disease for you and your crew. Let me know you thoughts, please share comment and like….


I've been neglecting my 5 questions with… folder recently. Here is the catch-up; with commentary. Of course.
Models are what developers will hate to love or love to hate – Or both?
I had no idea that [testing] was something I could do for a living. – This is such an important problem for the testing community. One which I have no idea how to fix.
The first thing a tester needs to know about testing is that you cannot test what you do not understand – Oh I so don't agree. Maybe if you tacked on a 'or does not want to understand' I could go along with the statement. As it is now it is equivalent to saying that all programmers need to know Assembly. Heck, a lot of programmers nowadays don't even know C and the 'joy' that is pointers and manual memory management.
In my mind, the tester is an auditor. The function of the auditor is to attest. In financial auditing, the auditor attests with his or her signature that the financial results fairly represent the financial results of business operations. From this attestation, other decision makers make their decisions. Both the auditor and the tester provide information to the eco-system. – Attestation implies a certain level of guarantee. Again, to cite the diagram in the BBST Foundations material, there are so many factors that attesting to the quality is a trap — at best. An opinion, sure. But attestation? Nope.
Write tests to capture requirements. Count tests written to measure scope. Count tests passing to measure delivery. Use tests to drive design. Use tests to communicate between teams, with customers. Use tests to meet regulatory loads and show compliance without mountains of paper. Oh, and to find defects too. But that last one is just the cherry on the cake. – Count tests to get a useless number; I can write a million tests that provide useless information but still shows 7 figures in the count. Use tests to confuse the customer; maybe he deals with different people in different organizations, but the people on conference calls I have been on would go glassy-eyed in under a minute if presented with tests. Which isn't bad as they don't need to know how to read the tests. This applies too to requirements. I'm in this situation now, and it is not enjoyable in the least. Capture the requirements in a document, or series of documents and make sure they evolve with the application. Or better still, put them in a wiki.


James MacGregor Burns was an American historian and political scientist, presidential biographer, and authority on leadership studies. He was best known for his contributions to the transactional, transformational, aspirational, and visionary schools of leadership theory. His work shifted the focus of leadership studies from the traits and actions of great men to the interaction of leaders and their constituencies as collaborators working toward mutual benefit. Burns was the Woodrow Wilson Professor of Government Emeritus at Williams College and Distinguished Leadership Scholar at the James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership of the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, College Park.

A Senate committee led by California Sen. Barbara Boxer plans to look into government funding of studies that put fertilizer made from treated human and industrial waste on the lawns of East Baltimore rowhouses and a vacant lot near a school in East St. Louis, Ill.
Additionally, the president of the Maryland NAACP said yesterday that he is asking federal and state officials to launch a criminal investigation.
The sludge was used to see if it could be a cheap way to clean up lead-contaminated soil - and ultimately to see whether cleaner soil would protect children from lead poisoning.
"Someone putting human waste and industrial waste in someone's yard as a test? That sounds like Tuskegee all over again," said Gerald Stansbury, president of Maryland State Conference of NAACP Branches. The Tuskegee Experiment began in the 1930s and continued for 40 years, during which time researchers allowed syphilis in black men in Alabama to go untreated.
Stansbury was responding to an Associated Press article about the sludge study. The study was begun in 2000 and resulted in a paper written in 2005.
Also in reaction to the article, Boxer said the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee would hold hearings before summer's end on risks associated with using sludge as fertilizer.
But several waste-management specialists and researchers said the same material used in the study - done by researchers with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health - is used in residential gardens throughout the country and even in a park in front of the White House.
"Believe me, it's all over suburbia," said Robin Davidov, executive director of the Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority, a government agency that helps turn sewage into composted sludge. The process is similar to pasteurization. The material is heated to a high temperature to kill pathogens, she said.
About 6 million tons of this fertilizer are sold a year. The Maryland Department of the Environment has approved its use for nearly three decades, as has the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
There have been some questions raised about the safety of composted sludge, which is also used in a slightly different form on farmland throughout the U.S. A report by the National Academy of Sciences in 2002 found fault with how the EPA developed its regulations on sludge but found no risk to public health.
The yards were chosen because of the high concentration of lead found in poor, African-American neighborhoods of Baltimore, places where families couldn't afford to rip up their yards, officials said. The families all volunteered to be part of the study and were fully informed of every aspect of the research, said Dr. Rufus L. Chaney, a research agronomist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The idea was to have the sludge bind to the lead in the soil and make it less likely to be absorbed if consumed. The study found that it worked, Chaney said. He said other studies - which included feeding treated soil to rats, pigs and humans, showed a 69 percent reduction in lead absorption. The Hopkins study was not designed to check the possible impact on the health of children who lived in the houses, he said.

Film Screening & Discussion: Alwan & 3rd i NY Present: The Uprising: the Arab Revolutions from the Inside
Thu, June 12, 2014 7:00 pm at Alwan for the Arts
The Uprising Directed by Peter Snowdon, Belgium/UK, 2013, 78 minutes,Arabic and English spoken with English and French subtitles
DIRECTOR IN ATTENDANCE
The Uprising prvides an exploration of the Arab revolutions from the inside. It is a multi-camera, first-person account of that fragile, irreplaceable moment when life ceases to be a prison, and everything becomes possible again.
This feature-length documentary is composed entirely of videos made by citizens and long-term residents of Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, Syria and Yemen. The film uses this footage, not to recount the actual chronology of events or analyse their causes, but to create an imaginary pan-Arab uprising that exists (for the moment) only on the screen.
Suggested ContributionGeneral Admission $10 | Students, Seniors, Members $5
Film Website
http://theuprising.be/news
"Snowdon's film collapses the historical timeframe into the structure of a seven-day journal. The result is an imaginary history, but rooted in actual events and retaining some sense of distinct localities: a massive pan-Arab movement."
-Ela Bittencourt
"A bold, epoch-defining leap forward in doc method".
-Craig Baldwin
Opus Bonum Award for Best World Documentary at Jihlava IDFF 2013.
Peter Snowdon is a director and writer who made his debut into film with agit-prop documentaries. Over time, his work evolved beyond the purely political to engage with the experimental and avant-garde traditions, and to address wider philosophical issues.
Snowdon has created a number of short films and documentaries among the most notable are "Walking Through Paradise" (2010) and "Berwick's Mambo" (2008). His films have has been awarded prizes at Toma Unica (Madrid), Malescorto International Short Film Festival, and Kansas City Film Festival. He is currently based in Belgium, where he is preparing a PhD on vernacular video and documentary practice after the Arab Spring at MAD Faculty.

Kejriwal's new home: Not so '˜aam' but not sprawling either
Tanvi Nalin on January 3, 2014
Kejriwal to soon move into two five bedroom duplex flats with family at Bhagwan Das Road.
Delhi's new Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is all for shunning the VIP culture but few things are just not possible. It seems that the Delhi government officials were able to convince Kejriwal finally pointing out that logistics of travelling to and fro daily to Ghaziabad were not feasible.
Now, after operating from his home at Kaushambi for a week, Kejriwal is all set to shift to his new residence in the capital at 7/6 and 7/7 Bhagwan Dass Road.
The new residence is surely not aam aadmi's modest housing, but it not sprawling like those of earlier ministers either. It has two big adjacent duplex flats. Each of the two duplex flats has five bedrooms and a lawn.
The chief minister was handed over the keys to the flats on Wednesday itself. His family too visited the place on Friday morning, giving the house a final go-ahead.
The two apartments are now being renovated to suit the needs of the new chief minister and his family.
Reportedly, Kejriwal and his family would be living in one of the duplex apartments, while the other would be converted into his office.
The house was chosen carefully given its proximity to the Delhi Secretariat and Aam Aadmi Party's office in Connaught Place.

A mountain in the north west Highlands has been sold to a conservation charity for £1.6 million, after the sum was raised in less than three months through a public fundraising appeal.
Ben Shieldaig in Torridon, Wester Ross, is now owned by the Woodland Trust Scotland, which plans to expand its two ancient woodlands and encourage walkers to visit.
The 534m (1,752ft) high mountain, which covers around 3,800 acres within the Wester Ross National Scenic Area, was put up for sale by its private landowners last year.
One of Scotland's Marilyns – hills and mountains with a drop of at least 150m on all sides – its summit has spectacular views towards the Isle of Skye and the Outer Hebrides.
The Woodland Trust became interested in Ben Shieldaig due to its two ancient forests of Caledonian pinewood, which can be traced back to the end of the last ice age, and native birchwood.
The charity said the birch woodland was "confined to a moisture-laden strip of land between the mountain and the sea" and was part of a unique habitat shaped by the mild climate and clean air.
The mountain's Caledonian pinewood also lies at the limit of the Scots pine's northern European distribution and has so far resisted the invasion of non-native plant species such as rhododendron.
"This is one of the most westerly remnants of native pine in Europe, one of the closest to sea level and quite possibly one which is genetically unique to the north west of Scotland," the charity said.
It has already appointed a site manager and project manager to oversee its work on the mountain, but is now hoping to raise a further £3.4m for management costs.
The purchase of Ben Shieldaig was made possible by £200,000 of funding from the People's Postcode Lottery, which has also pledged £600,000 towards management fees.
Woodland Trust Scotland director Carol Evans said the public reaction to the appeal had been "absolutely fantastic" and said she wanted to pass on a "huge thank you" to all who contributed.
"This is a rare chance for us to bring a whole mountain under our care," she added.
"It already supports a magnificent area of ancient Caledonian pinewood and a Scottish rainforest of native birchwood.
"Perhaps even more exciting is the potential to manage these within a mosaic of their natural neighbours.
"Our aim is to see native woodland, montane scrub and open moorland habitats meshing naturally with each other from sea to sky.

California's Caldor Fire seen from space in harrowing satellite images (gallery)
By Christine Lunsford published 1 September 21
It's one of the biggest fires in California history.

Caldor Fire nears Lake Tahoe
The Caldor Fire, one of the largest in California's history, has been blazing in El Dorado County since Aug. 14, 2021.
It has since burned more than 200,000 acres of land and is now progressing toward the border of Nevada, near Lake Tahoe, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. See satellite images of the growing fire in this Space.com gallery.
The image above, captured Aug. 30 by NASA's Aqua satellite, shows smoke from the Caldor Fire encroaching on the southern portion of Lake Tahoe.

The Dixie Fire is still burning, too.
Meanwhile, as the Caldor Fire has taken the spotlight, another fire is raging in Northern California. The second-largest Californian fire on record — the Dixie Fire —continues to burn has burned over 800,000 acres since July 13, 2021. This image from NASA's Landsat 8 satellite shows smoke from the Dixie Fire on Aug. 28, 2021, blanketing the region north of the Caldor Fire.

On Aug. 24, 2021, the Caldor Fire continues to burn across the region south of Lake Tahoe.
The Caldor Fire, burning just south of Lake Tahoe, broke out on Aug. 14, 2021, and was only 20% contained as of Sept. 1. This image was processed by citizen scientist Pierre Markuse using data aquired by the European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel mission on Aug. 24, 2021.
As of Aug. 22, 2021, the Caldor Fire was blanketing the area with thick smoke as well as forcing residents in its path to flee.

Strong winds and low humidity pushed the Caldor Fire to spread over the ridge of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Several more California counties had to be evacuated because of the spread.
Smoke and clouds above and around the Caldor Fire block views of the ground almost completely. This enormous fire began August 14, 2021 and as of August 31, has scorched just over 190,000 acres.

Q: Percentage on pie chart label with multiple measures Tableau I have a pie chart with 2 measures  Current and Target
I have created a pie chart using these measures and am showing the values on the pie chart.
It's quite straightforward to build a pie chart with this setup, but I can't figure how to get the percentage (of total pie) to display on the label. Analysis->Percentage of->etc. gives me 100%, because it's only computed on one measure.

Reporter Resigns After Report of Twitter Harassment
Posted by Steve Karimi | Jun 14, 2019 | 0 Comments
A prominent Seattle Times reporter has resigned after the newspaper began investigating a report that he had harassed and sent sexually explicit messages to another journalist. Mike Rosenberg had been with the newspaper as a real estate journalist since 2016 and had about 37,000 Twitter followers before he deleted his account after the allegations were made known. The journalist he allegedly harassed is Talia Jane, who has written for Vice, Fusion, and the New York Post. Jane took screenshots of the messages Rosenberg had sent her and began tweeting them in a thread to her followers.
At first, Rosenberg's messages seemed to be friendly inquiries about Jane's job opportunities but they reportedly turned sexually explicit in nature. When Jane informed him his behavior was inappropriate, he claimed the messages were meant for someone else and he didn't know how to delete his account.
Jane then claims Rosenberg sent her an email asking her not to out him and that he would make a donation to the National Organization of Women as reparation for his behavior. Jane declined his offer and revealed his name.
The president and CFO of the Seattle Times issued the following statement: "The Seattle Times has been made aware of allegations of sexual harassment earlier today against a newsroom employee. We take these kinds of allegations very seriously and have suspended the employee pending an investigation by our human resources group."
Harassment and Cyberstalking in Washington
Washington was one of the first states to pass a cyberstalking law in 2004. According to Washington law RCW 9.61.260:
"(1) A person is guilty of cyberstalking if he or she, with intent to harass, intimidate, torment, or embarrass any other person, and under circumstances not constituting telephone harassment, makes an electronic communication to such other person or a third party:
(a) Using any lewd, lascivious, indecent, or obscene words, images, or language, or suggesting the commission of any lewd or lascivious act;
(b) Anonymously or repeatedly whether or not conversation occurs; or
(c) Threatening to inflict injury on the person or property of the person called or any member of his or her family or household."
Defenses to Cyberstalking Charges
Although no criminal charges have been filed against Rosenberg, he could have faced gross misdemeanor penalties that include a fine up to $5,000, up to a year in jail, or both. If he had been charged, Rosenberg might have been able to provide a defense that the victim's reaction was unreasonable or hypersensitive. In other words, his behavior might have been inappropriate or unprofessional, but he did not set out to intentionally scare, intimidate, or bother the victim.
Cyberstalking is often a claim in many domestic violence cases. Attorney Steve Karimi is an experienced attorney with significant experience in criminal defense.

CHAPTER XXXIII
I. DEFORMATIVE YEARS: 1709-46
HE was unique and yet typical; unlike any Englishman of his time, yet summarizing John Bull in body and soul; surpassed in every literary field (except lexicography) by his contemporaries, yet dominating them for a generation, reigning over them without raising anything but his voice.
Let us record briefly the blows that beat him into his peculiar form. He was the first child born to Michael Johnson, bookseller, printer, and stationer in Lichfield, 118 miles from London. The mother, nee Sarah Ford, was of slightly genteel stock. She was thirty-seven when, in 1706, she married Michael, who was fifty.
Samuel was a sickly child, so weak at birth that he was baptized at once, lest, dying unchristened, he should, by the laws of theology, be lodged forever in Limbo, the gloomy vestibule of hell. He soon showed signs of scrofula. When he was thirty months old his mother, though pregnant with her second son, took him on the long ride to London to be "touched for the king's evil" by Queen Anne. The Queen did her best, but the disease cost Johnson the use of one eye and one ear, and shared with other tribulations in disfiguring his face.1 Nevertheless he grew strong in muscle and frame; and his strength as well as his bulk supported that absolutism which, as Goldsmith complained, turned the republic of letters into a monarchy. Samuel thought that he had inherited from his father the "vile melancholy which has made me mad all my life, at least not sober."2 Perhaps, as in Cowper's case, his hypochondria had a religious as well as a physical basis; Johnson's mother was a firm Calvinist, who thought that eternal damnation was just around the corner. Samuel suffered from fear of hell to the day of his death.
From his father he derived his Tory politics, Jacobite leanings, and a passion for books. He read eagerly in his father's store; later he told Boswell, "I knew almost as much at eighteen as I do now."3 After some elementary instruction he passed on to Lichfield grammar school, where the headmaster was "so brutal that no man who had been educated by him sent his son to the same school";4 however, when asked in after years how he had acquired so good a command of Latin, he answered: "My master whipt me very well. Without that, Sir, I should have done nothing."5 In old age he deplored the obsolescence of the rod. "There is now less flogging in our great schools than formerly, but then less is learned there, so that what the boys get at one end they lose at the other."6
In 1728 his parents found means to send him to Oxford. There he devoured the Greek and Latin classics, and harassed his teachers by insubordination. In December, 1729, he hurried back to Lichfield, perhaps because parental funds ran out, or because his hypochondria had come so close to madness that he needed medical treatment. He received this at Birmingham; then, instead of returning to Oxford, he helped in his father's shop. When the father died (December, 1731) Samuel went to work as assistant teacher in a school at Market Bosworth. Soon tiring of this, he moved to Birmingham, lived with a bookseller, and made five guineas by translating a book about Abyssinia; this was a distant source of Rasselas. In 1734 he returned to Lichfield, where his mother and brother were carrying on the store. On July 9, 1735, two months short of twenty-six, he married Elizabeth Porter, a widow of forty-eight with three children and £ 700. With her money he opened a boarding school at nearby Edial. David Garrick, a Lichfield boy, was one of his pupils, but there were not enough to reconcile him to pedagogy. Authorship was fermenting in him. He wrote a drama, Irene, and sent word to Edward Cave, editor of The Gentleman's Magazine, explaining how that periodical could be improved. On March 2, 1737, he rode off to London, with David Garrick and one horse, to sell his tragedy and carve out a place for himself in the cruel world.
His appearance was against him. He was thin and tall, but with a large bony frame that made him a mass of angles. His face was blotched with scrofula and was frequently agitated by a convulsive twitch; his body was subject to alarming starts; his conversation was illustrated by odd gesticulations. One bookseller to whom he applied for work advised him to "get a porter's knot and carry trunks."7 Apparently he received some encouragement from Cave, for in July he went back to Lichfield, and brought his wife to London.
He was not without subtlety. When Cave was attacked in the press Johnson wrote a poem in his defense and sent it to him; Cave published it, gave him literary commissions, and joined Dodsley in issuing (May, 1738) Johnson's London, for which they gave him ten guineas. The poem frankly imitated Juvenal's Third Satire, and therefore emphasized the lamentable aspects of the city that the author soon learned to love; it was also an attack upon the administration of Robert Walpole, whom Johnson later described as "the best minister this country ever had."8 The poem was in part the angry blast of a country youth who, after a year in London, was still uncertain of tomorrow's food; hence the famous line "Slow rises worth, by poverty depressed."9
In those days of struggle Johnson turned his pen to every genre. He wrote Lives of Eminent Persons (1740), and various articles for The Gentleman's Magazine, including imaginary reports of parliamentary debates. Since reporting of the debates was as yet forbidden, Cave hit on the expedient of pretending that his magazine was merely recording debates in the "Senate of Magna Lilliputia." In 1741 Johnson took over this task. From general information as to the course of discussion in Parliament he composed speeches which he ascribed to characters whose names were anagrams for the main contenders in the House.10 The debates bore such an air of verisimilitude that many readers took them as verbatim reports, and Johnson had to warn Smollett (who was writing a history of England) not to rely on them as factual. Once, hearing praise of a speech ascribed to Chatham, Johnson remarked, "That speech I wrote in a garret in Exeter Street."11 When someone commended the impartiality of his reports, he confessed: "I saved appearances tolerably well, but I took care that the Whig dogs should not have the best of it."12
How was he paid for his work? He once called Cave a "penurious paymaster," but he frequently professed affection for his memory. Between August 2, 1738, and April 21, 1739, Cave paid him forty-nine pounds; and in 1744 Johnson estimated fifty pounds a year as "undoubtedly more than the necessities of life require."13 However, Johnson has been traditionally described as living in dire poverty in London in those years. Boswell believed that "Johnson and Savage were sometimes in such extreme indigence that they could not pay for a lodging, so that they wandered whole nights in the streets";14 and Macaulay assumed that those months of penury habituated Johnson to slovenliness of dress and a "ravenous greediness" in eating.15
Richard Savage claimed, unconvincingly, to be the son of an earl, but he had become a wastrel when Johnson met him in 1737. They roamed the streets because they loved taverns more than their rooms. Boswell mentions "with all possible respect and delicacy" that Johnson's
conduct after he came to London, and had associated with Savage and others, was not so strictly virtuous, in one respect, as when he was a younger man. It was well known that his amorous inclinations were uncommonly strong and impetuous. He owned to many of his friends that he used to take women of the town to taverns, and hear them relate their history.—In short, it must not be concealed that, like many other good and pious men [did Boswell have Boswell in mind?], … Johnson was not free from propensities which were ever "warring against the law of his mind"—and that in his combats with them he was sometimes overcome.16
Savage left London in July, 1739, and died in a debtor's prison in 1743. A year later Johnson issued The Life of Richard Savage, which Henry Fielding called "as just and well written a piece as, of its kind, I ever saw."17 It presaged (and was later included in) theLives of the Poets. It was published anonymously, but literary London soon discovered Johnson's authorship. The booksellers began to think of him as the man to compile a dictionary of the English language.

SAT Writing Prep Test 1
Posted on June 30, 2019 adminPosted in High School, Prep Questions and Answers
Carefully read the passage and select the answer to each question that is most effective in improving the quality of the writing or in making the passage conform to the standard conventions of English.
Ulysses S. Grant: An Unusual Leader
On March 10th, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln (1) signed a brief document officially promoting then-Major General Ulysses S. Grant to the rank of Lieutenant General of the U.S. Army, tasking the future president with the job (2) of being the leader of all the Union troops against the Confederate Army.
The rank of lieutenant general (3) wasn't officially in use since (4) 1798, at that time, President John Adams assigned the post to former President George Washington, in anticipation of a possible French invasion of the United States. One of Grant's predecessors in the Civil War, Winfield Scott, had briefly earned the rank, but the appointment was only temporary (5) — really, use of the rank had been suspended after George Washington's death in 1799.
In 1862, Lincoln asked Congress to revive the rank of lieutenant general in order to distinguish between the general in charge of all Union forces and other generals of equal rank who served under him in the field. Congress also wanted to reinstate the rank of lieutenant general, but only if Lincoln gave the rank to Grant. (6) The seeming incongruity that a lieutenant general outranks a major general is due to the derivation of the latter rank from sergeant major general, which was also subordinate to lieutenant general.
Lincoln preferred to promote then-Commanding General Henry Wagner Halleck to lead the Union (7) Army, which had been plagued by a string of ineffective leaders and terrible losses in battle. He was reluctant to promote Grant and risk boosting the general's popularity; at the time Washington was abuzz with rumors that (8) much northern senators were considering nominating Grant instead of Lincoln at the 1864 Republican National Convention. After Grant publicly dismissed the idea of running for the presidency, Lincoln submitted to Congress' choice and agreed to give Grant the revived rank. As lieutenant general of the U.S. Army, Grant was answerable only to Lincoln. Well-respected by troops and civilians, Grant earned Lincoln's trust and went on to force the South's surrender in 1865.
(9) A primary focus of Grant's administration was Reconstruction, and he worked to reconcile the North and South while also attempting to protect the civil rights of newly freed black slaves. While Grant was personally honest, some of his associates (10) was corrupt and his administration were tarnished by various scandals. After retiring, Grant invested in a brokerage firm that went bankrupt, costing him his life savings. He spent his final days penning his memoirs, which were published the year he died and proved a critical and financial success.
Although Grant enjoyed a distinguished career in the military, he wrote that he never consciously chose the life of a soldier. As a student at West Point, he never expected to graduate, let alone lead the entire U.S. Army in a desperate but ultimately successful struggle to preserve the Union. In late 1884, he was diagnosed with throat cancer. Grant died at age 63 on July 23, 1885, in Mount McGregor, New York, in the Adirondack Mountains, (11) which he and his family were spending the summer. The former president was laid to rest in a tomb in New York City's Riverside Park.
1. Check underlined words and phrases (2) in the passage above.

East Coast Media Is Grounded From Writing About Weed
Lester Black
Prohibitionists are back and want to blow up the world of pot. The Stranger
Marijuana is an addictive gateway drug that worsens the opioid epidemic, is medically proven to drive people insane, is nearly as bad for society as prescription painkillers, and increases violent crime where it is legalized.
That's the story on pot if you read a whole slew of East Coast media outlets this week. From the New Yorker to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal to Mother Jones, the country's top news outlets have been running stories with headlines that paint a dire and depressing picture of cannabis. It's been a media spectacle fit for a groundbreaking medical study, but there's actually no new science behind these claims, only an author trying to make a buck off a new book and an uncritical media environment that is hungry for someone to make an argument against legalization.
Author and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson's new book, Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence, is full of the anti-legalization talking points. The Berenson-friendly media outlets that got advanced copies (this does not include this pot-loving publication) say the book is full of damning statistics that show pot causes society's ills, and Berenson is being painted as a brave reporter willing to take on the pot establishment and show the evils of weed.
But almost as soon as journalists started jumping on Berenson's bandwagon, the actual scientists behind the research Berenson cited distanced themselves from his book. Those scientists say he is distorting their research, mistaking correlation for causation, or he is just outright drawing incorrect conclusions.
Rather than taking on all of the credulous articles written about Berenson's book, I'm going to examine the claims Berenson makes in his own words in a New York Times editorial published this week, titled "What Advocates of Legalizing Pot Don't Want You to Know."
Let's get into what Berenson doesn't want you to know.
Berenson's first major claim is that a 2017 report from the National Academy of Medicine concludes cannabis use can cause schizophrenia. He pulls this scary quote from the report: "Cannabis use is likely to increase the risk of schizophrenia and other psychoses; the higher the use, the greater the risk."
That quote looks scary, but this single line from a nearly 500-page report misleads what the scientists actually found, according to Ziva Cooper, a UCLA pharmacologist and a co-author of that very report. Cooper wrote on Twitter that researchers only found an association between schizophrenia and cannabis use, not a causal link between the two. And later research found that people with a risk of schizophrenia may be more likely to use cannabis, which means that pot use is likely only correlated to schizophrenia, not the cause of it. Without this causal link, there is no reason to blame pot for schizophrenia. Ice cream sales and violent crime both peak in the summer; that doesn't mean we should fight crime by making ice cream illegal.
Since the report, we now know that genetic risk for schizophrenia predicts cannabis use, shedding some light on the potential direction of the association between cannabis use and schizophrenia.https://t.co/FIEnCA0dhk
— Ziva Cooper (@zivacooper) January 9, 2019
Cooper also said there is placebo-controlled evidence that CBD, one of pot's non-psychoactive compounds, can improve the symptoms of schizophrenia and there is actually an association between cannabis use and improved outcomes for people with the disease. Berenson, of course, left this out of his editorial.
Berenson then moves from his incorrect claim that cannabis causes schizophrenia into saying that the more potent pot of today "further increases its risks." He makes this claim without providing any evidence for why pot with an increased THC percentage is more dangerous. He just drops that fearmongering fact out there and then leaves the reader with this helpful analysis: "Think of the difference between a beer and a martini."
Um, ok? One can taste good while the other tastes like nail polish remover? One can kill a person after 20 servings while the other can kill a person after 10? (Meanwhile pot cannot kill you regardless of how much you ingest.) Berenson fails to explain what this has to do with anything.
Berenson then moves into a discussion of how legalization has increased the frequency of pot use by regular users. This is probably the one interesting topic he brings up, although he predictably stokes fear rather than doing any thoughtful analysis. What does it mean when more people start using pot daily? It's something I've often asked in my reporting, including some honest self-reflection on my own pot use, but all of the experts I have talked to have said there isn't a clear answer to this question. It may improve society as much as it hurts society to have regular cannabis users. We really don't know yet, but Berenson does not explore this in any length.
He then rattles off a few stats showing mental illness rates are rising nationally alongside increasing cannabis use, offering "intriguing evidence" that pot causes mental illness. He, of course, does not provide any of this intriguing evidence before moving on to the criminal justice portion of the editorial, which is the ugliest.
Berenson claims that pot has not had much of an impact on criminal justice in the country because most people in prison aren't serving jail time for pot crimes. But while it's true that few people end up imprisoned just for weed—in 2013, for instance, California reported that only 441 of its 134,000 prisoners were incarcerated for solely marijuana-related crimes—tons of people are arrested for marijuana possession.
I hope all of our Stranger readers are smarter than Berenson's editors at the New York Times and can see why his claim that pot hasn't had a large impact on the criminal justice system is faulty, but I'll spell it out.
The biggest impact of pot prohibition on the criminal justice system is how an errant whiff of pot smoke or a roach in your pocket entraps people. A cop searches your car because they smell pot and then suddenly you're on the ground in handcuffs because the cop also finds some other evidence of a crime. That original pot crime might never even make it into the court system, or if it does, a pot possession charge can get dropped as part of a larger plea deal while other crimes caught in pot's dragnet linger on the person's record. This, of course, impacts poor people and people of color more than white people, something Berenson makes no mention of.
Next up on Berenson's editorial hit list is his descent into pure Reefer Madness, writing that pot "appears to lead to an increase in violent crime." There it is folks! We are truly back in 1936, when the infamous anti-pot propaganda film claimed that pot will make people commit violent murders. Rather than using a cast of actors to make this point, Berenson instead cites data from states where pot was legalized.
Before recreational legalization began in 2014, advocates promised that it would reduce violent crime. But the first four states to legalize — Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington — have seen sharp increases in murders and aggravated assaults since 2014, according to reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Police reports and news articles show a clear link to cannabis in many cases.
This data, if it was accurate, proves nothing about pot. Again, he confuses correlation and causation (remember that ice cream analogy). But the data itself isn't even correct, according to Benjamin Hansen, a professor of economics at the University of Oregon.
"While it is true that homicide rates went up in CO and WA more than they rose for the nation as a whole, the homicide rates in Colorado and Washington were actually below what the data predicted they would have been given the trends in homicides from 2000-2012. This suggests, at best, we can't conclude that marijuana legalization increases violence, and perhaps even there could be small negative effects.
Berenson's response to this new analysis has been to post news reports to Twitter that show people behaving violently after they use cannabis. Thus proving that not only does he not understand the difference between causation and correlation, he also doesn't understand that singular anecdotes do not establish a causal link."
2/ The judge unironically said:
"Mrs Thaiday gave a history of the use of cannabis since she was in grade 9 at school. And I think all the psychiatrists thought that it is likely that it is this long-term use of cannabis that caused the mental illness schizophrenia to emerge. " https://t.co/blbaPiAZNo
— Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) January 8, 2019
Berenson goes to some lengths to claim that he is not a propagandist and Tell Your Children should not be compared to Reefer Madness (forget for a moment that the original title for the film was literally Tell Your Children). But there is no reason we should give Berenson the benefit of the doubt when he cherry picks and manipulates data. Our society has been deeply damaged by pot fearmongerers like Berenson, from the impacts on criminal justice to the delayed FDA-approved therapies that can clearly help people to just regular folks being denied a safe buzz from pot.
I believe that legalization is the only sensible way to treat pot, but how exactly we legalize and regulate is a complicated question. We need people to be critical about our policy decisions, and we need scientists to keep studying what happens when we smoke pot (and if they keep looking, they will likely keep finding new benefits). But people like Berenson who merely have a book to sell and don't care who they damage in the process don't deserve to be listened to. And the media blitz surrounding Berenson's book clearly shows how much East Coast media circles need to learn about pot.

Lankan Prez Gotabaya Rajapaksa Flees After Protesters Gherao Residence; Says Will Respect Decision Taken At Party Meeting
Angry protesters surrounded Gotabaya Rajapaksa's home leading the embattled president to flee (Image: Reuters)
Sri Lanka president Gotabaya Rajapaksa faces calls from all sides to step down from his role as the nation faces an unprecedented economic crisis
Sri Lankan president Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled as supporters surrounded his residence. Sri Lankan news agencies reported that Gotabaya was taken to a different location before the protesters stormed his residence.
Protesters took out a mega rally in Colombo on Saturday after a curfew on protests were lifted demanding president Rajapaksa step down from his role.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe called an emergency meeting of all political parties. He has also summoned a session at the parliament to discuss swift measures to bring back stability.
Gotabaya Rajapaksa said he will abide by the decision taken during the meeting, people familiar with the developments told CNN-News18.
https://images.news18.com/ibnlive/uploads/2022/07/sri-lanka-presidential-secretariat-galle-face.mp4
Videos shared by Sri Lankan news media outlets showed supporters marching with Sri Lankan flags towards the president's residence in Fort, Colombo chanting slogans demanding his resignation.
https://images.news18.com/ibnlive/uploads/2022/07/presidential-residence-protesters-bathing.mp4
Videos also showed protesters breaking through barricades erected at Chatham street.
The police dispersed the protesters using tear gas shells and batons.
At least 30 people including two police officers were injured during ongoing protests and were admitted to the National Hospital in Colombo.
The protesters also forced the railway authorities to run trains as operations were halted due to the energy crisis affecting the island-nation.
The police earlier on Friday imposed a stay-at-home order banning large demonstrations on Saturday but opposition parties, pressure groups and the bar association threatened to sue the police chief after which the orders were rescinded.
On Saturday morning as huge crowds poured onto the streets of Colombo, a major section of the protesters were headed to the residence of Gotabaya Rajapaksa who remains fiercely unpopular amid the economic crisis affecting Sri Lanka.
Videos on social media show Colombo's main streets filled with thousands of protesters chanting 'Go Home Gota' and demanding his resignation. Protesters have also entered the secretariat and were seen shouting slogans from the balconies demanding Rajapaksa's resignation.
Several dozens of protesters entered the presidential residence and were seen bathing in the swimming pool inside.
The embattled president chose to stay in his role despite growing calls of resignation. He removed his brother Mahinda Rajapaksa from the role of the prime minister earlier this year but it failed to quell the protests.
Sri Lankans have been affected by months of food and fuel shortages, long blackouts and skyrocketing inflation and there is no respite in the horizon for the country.

More about the Centanni-Cottle Memorial 5K & Rick Centanni Memorial Fund (RCMF)
United States Marine, LCpl Rick Centanni was born and raised in Yorba Linda, California and was a student-athlete at Esperanza High School where he played football. Just weeks after graduation, Rick enlisted in the Marines and was ultimately assigned to the 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion.
Tragically, while on the forward edge of our nation's defense Rick along with fellow Yorba Linda resident, 27-year Marine Corps Veteran Sergeant Major Robert J. Cottle were killed in action on March 24, 2010 in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.
The Rick Centanni Memorial Fund was established to provide scholarships to Esperanza High School student-athletes who are going into the military and plan on secondary education to assist them with books, tuition, etc. The annual Centanni-Cottle Memorial 5K Run/Walk supports the RCMF and keeps Rick and Robert's name alive as hometown heroes.

It's deeply disturbing that Scotrail has cancelled all services on the Far North and West Highland lines in advance of Storm Caroline.
The company has been making much recently of investment in new rolling stock and motive power but it seems that this has been misplaced. In the days of steam haulage, such precautionary cancellations in advance of forecast weather never took place.
Instead of flimsy modern engineering that dare not be allowed out of the shed in the wrong sort of weather, Scotrail should be placing bulk orders for tried and tested steam locomotives like Flying Scotsman for which blueprints are readily available.
