Pawlenty: Why It's Good to Be No. 2
Campaign 2012 and the audacity of the process of elimination.
Brian Peterson/Zuma
If there ever is a time when the No. 2 spot is a good position to hold in a presidential primary contest, 2012 could be it—and former Republican Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty might end up glad for that.
Earlier this month, the politerati were abuzz over a National Journal poll that found that Washington Republican insiders, when asked to pick the likely winner of the ongoing GOP nomination contest, ranked Pawlenty second, behind ex-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Pawlenty had jumped a fair bit in this poll from the start of the year—and the conventional wisdom was reinforced: Pawlenty is the non-Romney default candidate. That is, he's the favorite second choice of GOP insiders and, perhaps, actual Republican voters.
This stands to reason. Though Pawlenty, like Romney, was something of a moderate Republican as governor, he doesn't have Romney's baggage: He didn't enact statewide health care reform (imposing a mandate); nor is he a member of the Mormon Church, which some evangelical Christians view with suspicion or outright hostility.
Pawlenty, a nice fellow from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, has experience appealing to independent voters. And now he's pandering to the tea party—at a rally in February, he called on the assembled activists to "rise up"—and the religious right. (He's called for repealing the repeal of the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.) So he has range. More important, Pawlenty is a lot of nots: He's not an extremist (Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Sarah Palin). He's not undisciplined (Newt Gingrich). He's not a good ol' boy/insider lobbyist (Haley Barbour). He's not a former Obama administration official (Jon Huntsman). And he's not Romney. Pawlenty is the perfect fall-back guy. Strike all these other wannabes off the list for their obvious liabilities, and Pawlenty is the last man standing. "He's largely liked by the party," says GOP strategist Doug Heye. "I'm hard-pressed to name people who dislike him."
For the time being, Pawlenty may well be Mr. Second Choice. Yet in the 2012 campaign, inhabiting that spot will come with a benefit not available to previous presidential challengers, thanks to a new Republican Party rule.
Last summer, the GOP held one of its regular meetings and fussed with its rules. The main news was that the party pushed back the ever-creeping-earlier primary schedule. The party decided that the four designated early states—Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada—can initiate primaries or caucuses on February 1, 2012, or beyond. (Iowa kicked off the 2008 season on January 3.) No other state can proceed until March 6, 2012. But the Republicans added a condition: Any state that wants to hold a primary or caucus in March 2012 must allocate its selected delegates "on a proportional basis." That means no winner-take-all victories in these states—a change that could provide a tremendous boost to a candidate who racks up a lot of second-place finishes.
In past Republican presidential contests, most states used some version of a winner-take-all calculation to award delegates. That tends to allow a frontrunner to quickly build up an overwhelming lead. In 2008, the race was close in the early phase. Mike Huckabee won Iowa, with Romney placing second, and Fred Thompson, third. McCain took New Hampshire. Romney triumphed in Michigan and Nevada. McCain edged out Huckabee in South Carolina. The delegate count was competitive. Then came Florida—a pure winner-take-all-state. McCain beat Romney, 36 to 31 percent, and pocketed all 57 delegates. (The state lost half of its delegates because it held its primary early, in violation of GOP rules.)
A week later was Super Tuesday; 15 of the 21 states staging contests that day employed some sort of a winner-take-all formula, most notably, California. McCain won the Golden State, 42 to 35 percent and bagged 158 delegates; Romney's consolation prize: 12 delegates. McCain also grabbed New York's 87 delegates, New Jersey's 52 delegates, and all but 3 of Illinois' 57 delegates. When the night was done, McCain had won 9 of the 21 states, but he had collected 568 delegates to Romney's 176 and Huckabee's 147. He now possessed nearly 60 percent of the total number of delegates needed to claim the nomination. Two days later, on February 7, Romney abandoned the race.
Had there been proportional allocation of the delegates, McCain's lead at this point would have been significant, but perhaps not insurmountable. The contest likely would have stayed competitive far longer. Romney and Huckabee would have had the opportunity to punch away at McCain and try to force a game change.
In 2012, a consistent and close second-place finisher could stay in the race beyond the first waves of primaries and have a chance of orchestrating a turn-around. And no one, at this stage, says "second-place" more than Pawlenty.
Presently, it's unclear what state parties must do to meet the GOP's new "proportional basis" rule. Republican Party HQ hasn't established any guidelines or specific requirements. A state party could perhaps concoct a sliding scale that dramatically favors the winner. But any proportionality introduced into the mix will enhance the prospects of a second-placer. The full shape of the 2012 field has not yet materialized, and there's no telling if it will include more than one candidate with a shot at winning individual contests. Yet if that turns out to be the case, a candidate who continues to place second could stay in the hunt, as other candidates take turns placing first.
Pawlenty has multiple reasons for relishing a No. 2 spot. It puts him within striking distance, and he's poised to assume the lead, should Romney fizzle or flame out. He's also not the candidate in the pack with a big bull's-eye on his back. (That's the frontrunner.) And this year, most important, a strong second-place-man will be able to bag more delegates than before. When Pawlenty looks in the mirror in the morning, he may be quite delighted to declare to himself, "We're No. 2!"

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, Mary E. Lupo, J.
Jack Scarola, Searcy, Denney, Scarola, Barnhart Shipley, P.A., and Philip M. Burlington of Edna L. Caruso, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Jeffrey S. Kurtz, Delray Beach, for appellee City of Delray Beach.
Monroe A. Coogler, Adams, Coogler, Watson Merkle, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee Charles Kilgore.
Appellant, a policeman for Delray Beach, was suspended in 1980. He originally sued the city for unlawful suspension and "retaliation." Following an initial trial, a new trial was ordered on the retaliation issue.
In the previous appeal affirming the new trial order, this court recognized that both liability and damage claims remained unresolved on the retaliation issues. This court therefore granted the plaintiff leave to amend and stated that the plaintiffs were not precluded from making further attacks on the pleadings.
Appellant then initiated this action, in which the trial court entered a judgment for the city on the appellant's money damages claim. The trial court held that if the plaintiff prevails on the issue of statutory liability for retaliation, he is only entitled to injunctive relief and not damages. The trial court reasoned that "there exists no cause of action for damages for any alleged retaliation in violation of Section 112.532, Florida Statutes (1987). City of Miami v. Cosgrove, 516 So.2d 1125 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987); Kelly v. Gill, 544 So.2d 1162 (Fla. 5th DCA 1989)." We affirm.
This action is for declaratory relief. Any issues concerning whether that is the appropriate avenue for relief is not before us.
(3) CIVIL SUITS BROUGHT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS. — Every law enforcement officer or correctional officer shall have the right to bring civil suit against any person, group of persons, or organization or corporation, or the head of such organization or corporation, for damages, either pecuniary or otherwise, suffered during the performance of the officer's official duties or for abridgment of the officer's civil rights arising out of the officer's performance of official duties.
(5) RETALIATION FOR EXERCISING RIGHTS. — No law enforcement officer or correctional officer shall be discharged; disciplined; demoted; denied promotion, transfer, or reassignment; or otherwise discriminated against in regard to his employment, or be threatened with any such treatment, by reason of his exercise of the rights granted by this part.
Appellant's claim is founded solely on subsection (3). Additionally, section 112.534 provides injunctive relief to officers in cases where the employing agency fails to comply with the requirements of the statute.
Appellant relies upon the court's opinion in City of Hallandale v. Inglima, 346 So.2d 84 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977). In that case, two police officers sued the employer-city seeking reinstatement and back pay for the city's violation of chapter 112. Our opinion, reversing a temporary injunction entered against the city, recites that the officers sought relief pursuant to subsection (3) of the statute, charging that the city failed to notify them of the pending disciplinary action. However, we note that the issues in that appeal were totally unrelated to any damage question. To the contrary, this court specifically noted that we were not addressing certain constitutional issues raised, but were addressing only the temporary injunction issue.
We recognize that, in Inglima, we remanded for the trial court to proceed to determine "whether appellees are entitled to (a) reinstatement, (b) back pay and (c) other damages." However, absent any issue other than injunctive relief, such language cannot be construed as a holding by this court on the substantive question of whether general damages is a statutory remedy against an employing city for violating rights recognized by that statute.
Cosgrove suggests that his suit for damages is authorized by Section 112.532(3), which, as we read it, has nothing whatsoever to do with the employee's rights vis-a-vis his employer but simply memorializes that a policeman shall have the right to sue other persons for damages suffered by the officer in the performance of his official duties.
Id. at 1129. We also note that, in Migliore v. City of Lauderhill, 415 So.2d 62 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982), decision approved, 431 So.2d 986 (Fla. 1983), this court recognized that section 112.534 does not create a new substantive right to injunctive relief, but was enacted solely for the purpose of enforcing section 112.532.
Whatever common law causes of action appellant may have, if any, for the city's alleged acts of retaliation, arise independently of the statute. Subsection (3) of 112.532 does not create a new civil action. Rather, it recognizes that officers have independent claims which are not impeded by this statute.
Therefore, the judgment is affirmed and the cause remanded for further proceedings on the statutory claim of improper retaliation, in accordance with the trial court judgment.
GLICKSTEIN, C.J. and HERSEY, J., concur.

Pablo Lehmann
Custom Pablo Lehmann Essay Paper Sample
The work chosen is the work by Argentine artist Pablo Lehmann
The work by Argentine artist Pablo Lehmann is made by cut shapes and texts from large sheets of paper and synthetic cloth. Sheets have been used to come up with three-dimensional installations that resemble furniture. The various pieces are constituted of texts, made of paper and plastic draft. In the paper technique, Lehmann first writes the text and then cut out the words at their edges. As for the plastic he uses letters that melt so that when these are blasted and brought together they make up a structure where the hit finally forms a text.
Buy Pablo Lehmann essay paper online
Some of the work is made of paper, and the idea here is to present pages of a book that entirely consists of text. The figure has been materialized by words, which have been deployed at their edges, so that the interstices so the letters represents the emptiness of what have been cut. With the curved and quite messy lines, the text makes a suggestion of a shape of a book with its pages open. This work somehow frames the research process of Pablo Lehmann and his relationship with his "aesthetic task". His work of art spins around finding ways to surround, build and encircle an empty centre that pusses the words along the edge. It seems that Pablo Lehmann takes pleasure in bringing about the meaning of texts to the level surface of nonsense, to a misleading space. His work seems to overshadow the meaning and the preponderance to the signifier, the bits and pieces of the text. The particular art of work seems to bring the language close to a nebulous of meaning, and conceivably that is why not any of his works in the part of the website works are presented as a rejoinder.
This work of art occupies space, and it turns out to be legible when one approaches it, and gives it credibility to the ruse he has before, and get on a physical and rational work to endeavor to read between the lines, to get meaning, causing knots among this "reading" act and his individual history. There is no particular way of reading, there is no path for interpretation, and Pablo Lehmann has attempted to provide signs or signals the reader, through intuition and will, can find traces of ownership and takes the bet, between shadows and decoys, to come up with the visibility of what the work of art suggests. The work is texts and every text is a gust of citations, an interweave of noteworthy ties. The words that look like intelligent are dumb if the reader interrogates them and that's why reading them is a question, a thing that invites questioning. This work of art reminds me of the whole work of Arthur Bispo from Rosario, his utensils caught in threads, his embroidered writings. The two works helps one to discover the right meaning of the word meaning.

Q: What would be faster: addition w/ loop or w/o loop? What would be faster: addition w/ loop or w/o loop (C#)?
I mean
int a=0;
for (int i=1;i<4;i++)
    a+=2*i;

or
int a=0;
a+=2*1;
a+=2*2;
a+=2*3;

A: For this progression,
n |  0 |  1 |  2 |  3 |  4 |  5
--------------------------------
a |  0 |  2 |  6 | 12 | 20 | 30

the closed form is,
a = n(1+n);

this will always be more efficient than any brute force approach. If efficiency doesn't matter then the closed form is still easier to read.
If you don't have the time to work out the closed form, for all but the shortest iterations, the loop is less typing. That's why we have them in the language, right?

A: If you account for number of clock cycles used then implementation without the loop is faster since
int a=0;                   - 1
for (int i=1;i<4;i++)      - 11
    a+=2*i;                (1+11 = 12 clock cycles)

where as
int a=0;                   - 1
a+=2*1;                    - 1
a+=2*2;                    - 1
a+=2*3;                    - 1 (1+1+1+1 = 4 clock cycles)

But it doesn't really matter since clock frequencies are in gigahertz and this is almost negligible and the fact that compiler re-assembles your code during compile time which is in its optimized version.

More Illinois teens are using e-cigarettes today than they were two years ago, according to a new survey that found rates have risen among high school students by 65 percent (sophomores) and 45 percent (seniors).
About 18 percent of sophomores reported smoking e-cigarettes during the past month, compared with 11 percent in 2016, according to this year's Illinois Youth Survey. The increase was even more pronounced among high school seniors, with 27 percent using e-cigarettes, compared with 18 percent in 2016.
Conducted biennially by the CPRD, the Illinois Youth Survey polled more than 11,200 teens on a range of behaviors, including tobacco use. The poll, first conducted in 1990, is funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services' Division of Substance Use Prevention and Recovery.
Over the past decade, cigarette smoking among high school seniors has dropped significantly, from 21 percent in 2008 to just above 5 percent in 2018. Cigarette smoking has also decreased among sophomores, from 3.4 percent in 2016 to 2.4 percent this year.
While fewer high school students are smoking conventional cigarettes, the upward trend in e-cigarette smoking is introducing the habit to new users, increasing the number of young people who become smokers, says Hays.
"Overall, these data suggest that e-cigarette use among teens warrants significant attention from public health professionals, schools, parents and caregivers – and most importantly, Illinois teens themselves," Hays said.

A word from the producer: Seeing Regeneration take full form
a word from the producer seeing regeneration take full form
The Touring Consortium's Matthew Gale is the lead producer on Regeneration. In this blog, he gives a snapshot of what it feels like as a producer in the final week of rehearsals, seeing the project that you conceived come to life after two long years. These are Regeneration's last hours in a London rehearsal room before it moved to Northampton, Royal & Derngate, where it receives its world premiere tonight.
Stephen Boxer and the cast of Regeneration
Driving into the London rehearsal room early morning for the first and final run through of the play, the sense of excitement is growing as I get nearer. Two years after we first decided to attempt to make Regeneration into a play, I will hear and see our cast perform the whole play from start to finish for the first time.
As I arrive, the stage management are sitting in the sun outside the rehearsal room. As we discuss the weather, heavy clouds start to roll over as if to tell us it is time to start.
In the room the floor is marked up with tape to show the actors where the set will be, the furniture and props are in position ready for the start. There are two rows of chairs set out. I decide to sit in the second row just behind Simon Godwin, our director. The actors, while not in full costume, have some rehearsal costumes such as jackets and coats.
Though confident we had chosen the right actors, you never really know until you start to see them inhabit the parts
Simon decides that, despite everyone knowing each other, we should introduce ourselves again so, starting with the actors, we all say who we are and what we do. At the end of the round, one of the actors points out that our ASM has not introduced himself. Joe comes sheepishly out from behind a screen says, "I am the assistant stage manager" and we all laugh, which breaks the tension.
Simon calls out for the actors to start. The play begins and those watching, me included, lean forward as the story unfolds. There are thrilling moments in the first half and the acting is superb, which is always a relief. As producer, I was in the auditions and, though confident we had chosen the right actors, you never really know until you start to see them inhabit the parts.
There's something very intense watching a show in a rehearsal room, only a few feet away from the cast. When we reach the interval, there's a sharp intake of breath. I go over to talk to Nicholas Wright, the adaptor, and we conclude that this is a good beginning to the week ahead. Only a week until first performance and so much to put together…
There's something very intense watching a show in a rehearsal room
As the second half starts, I reflect on my first meeting with Nick (pictured left), when I asked him to adapt Pat Barker's book. What an amazing and rewarding process it has been so far. The first scene of the second half is harrowing, and in the rehearsal room, it leaves me feeling slightly queasy. The next scene is rather gentle and beautiful. The jump makes me wonder whether we should move where the interval is. Time seems to pass quickly, which is always a good sign as it means I am gripped by the story.
At the start of the last scene, a delicate and sensitive exchange, we hear some noise outside the rehearsal room doors. John Manning, Royal & Derngate producer, goes to investigate. As the scene continues, the voices outside the room get louder; the actors are very aware of this distraction as are those of us watching. As the last line of the play is being spoken, the doors burst open and the run comes to an abrupt end. Apparently, the people using the room in the afternoon think we have over run our time and are impatient to set up.
Despite this final mishap, I'm elated to see that Regeneration is in good shape. I have many thoughts and as we all move downstairs to discuss the run-through. I try to formulate and distill these thoughts into coherent notes I can share with the director.
When Simon approaches, I congratulate him. He asks if it would be possible to rehearse the actors on Bank Holiday Monday, which they were scheduled to have off. The actors say they're free and, as we no longer have access to a rehearsal room in London, where most of them live, we decide to rehearse in Northampton. There's a slight hiccough when we learn there's only a limited train service on Monday. I offer to drive the actors back to Northampton so we can continue the momentum.
As one process ends, another process is about to begin
Simon talks through the run-through with the actors, giving them suggestions for changes and listening to find out what they feel they need to work on with him. And I talk to James Dacre, Royal & Derngate artistic director, to compare our notes. It's a short conversation as James and I have had similar reactions.
While we've been talking, the stage management have cleared the room of all of the production's furniture and props. As I go outside for some air, I see them closing the doors. The van pulls away on its journey to Northampton, reminding me that, as one process ends, another process is about to begin.
I go back inside and talk with Simon and his assistant Alice for about an hour. The discussion, which is rigorous, clarifies the changes that need to be made. As we say goodbye, there's a genuine feeling of togetherness of purpose and friendship.
I wonder fleetingly if this reflects the feeling of troops as they embarked for France in 1914 - and then I dismiss this as a trivial comparison. The only danger we face is that we might fail to bring Pat Barker's wonderful book and the lives of its protagonists to believable life on stage.
Regeneration premiered on 2 September 2014 (previews from 29 August) at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, where it continues until 20 September 2014. It then tours to York, Edinburgh, Bradford, Nottingham, Cheltenham, Richmond, Wolverhampton, Darlington and Blackpool where it concludes on 29 November.

(series review) - Lovecraft Country
I heard about this show and I don't know what I was doing/watching at the time (many things I'm sure), but for some reason I got onto this show well late and spent a couple days binge watching to catch up. The show started in August and I'm sure I got into it mid-late September after I kept hearing how good it was. And were the stories true? Yes and definitely YES!!!
You see, this show is about a man named Atticus Freeman, a Korean war veteran who arrives in Chicago to see his family. He is given a letter which is from his missing father asking him to travel across Jim Crow America to find out about his heritage. Upon this journey, as well as trying to avoid racist attacks from white America, Atticus, his uncle George and George's friend Letitia, set on a road trip that leads them to hidden societies, family secrets, monsters and legacy that will change Atticus' life forever. In the mix of all of this, Atticus's Aunt Hippolyta and Leti's older sister Ruby also end up having their own adventure and self discovery among other things that eventually leads into Atticus' future.
As the show goes on (without going into too much spoilers), the show weaves in a lot of real life issues and events in society which happened in the Jim Crow era of America. Touching on the Tulsa Race Massacre, the death of Emmett Till. They also weave in real life people such as entertainer Josephine Baker and the Dahomey Amazon. But although they weave in these historical events which are very heavy handed emotionally at times, there are some real lighthearted moments that bring fun and joy to the season. It's amazing to see the resilience of Black people at this time and how they still get on with life despite everything which is going on.
The show developed by Misha Green is 10 episodes at around an hour long each and soo much things are placed into every show with soo much information that flows at a rapid pace. It doesn't necessarily feel rushed, there is soo much to unpack so you do need to pay attention as Lovecraft is definitely not a background show. Every episode has something to say and a message that relates to the here and now. I really felt for a specific character in this show which was acted out soo well. But the general theme with the character and the character's story-arch, is generational and is definitely something that continues in our world today.
The show is also based on the Lovecraft novel and takes advantages and liberties where necessary to keep the mystery of specific characters and some of the story plot, but for the most part, it does follow the novel. How the first episode starts shows an Atticus walking through trenches in the war and the longer he walks, the more things you start to see and it get's crazier and crazier. The first 5 minutes of this show is a snippet of how insane the show will get.
This show isn't necessarily for all ages and all types of viewers though. It is very important for both white and black people to watch. Not only does it shine a light on the Jim Crow era, racial tension and how white people treated non-white people, especially black people at this time, but maybe it is something we can all learn from as I stated earlier, every episode has some type of message. Umbrella Academy touched on 1963 America and the Watchmen TV series touched on the Tulsa Race Massacre and if it wasn't for these shows shining the light on this time in history, I personally along with many many others would have never known about these events as they are not taught in school.
I say the show isn't necessarily for all ages due to the horror themes as well as the gore and other frightening imagery you will see. But I'd say, if you can, try your best to stomach it and push through because the show is excellent. Very well acted from ALL cast members. Music was superb and the costume department didn't miss a beat. The special effect were really good for the TV show and I'd only hope, now that its is done, possibly the team behind this can get a second season out, JUST as good as this season. A lot of people will really appreciate it.

Dysfunctional is when families are clingy and expect to know all of your business. You and your family are normal. You cant akways be close to everyone in your family. Maybe one or two family members if you have a big family.
Unfortunately, there are some families that are so dysfunctional that one individual is actually chosen by the parent or the parents to be the family scapegoat. Meaning that that child is treated differently by the rest of the family including the other siblings.
Understanding Dysfunctional Relationship Patterns in Your Family Many people hope that once they leave home, they will leave their family and childhood problems behind. However, many find that they experience similar problems, as well as similar feelings and relationship patterns, long after they have left the family environment.
Here are 12 points of examination to determine if you were cast as the family scapegoat: 1. Blame "You can't do anything right. Everything is your fault."


Football roundtable: Can Cardinal offense overcome Huskies defense?
Stanford football suffered its third loss of the season to Washington State last week in Pullman. The offense struggled to generate any moment but now have a short week to play Washington at home this Friday. King Jemison, Alejandro Salinas and Ariana Rollins discuss Washington's defense and the Cardinal's passing attack and defense.
Washington now has the best defense in nation in terms of yards allowed per game. Is this a product of its weak schedule, or will Bryce Love and the Stanford offense be stifled like it was in Pullman?
King Jemison (KJ): Washington's defense is legit, despite its weak schedule. They have a really strong core of linebackers that have the potential to eat up any run game, and its defensive line almost always controls the game. Last year, Stanford's offensive line was overwhelmed by the Huskies front-seven, and though there are a lot of new faces up front for both teams, the Cardinal tunnel workers' union will need one of their best performances of the season in order for the offense to get anything going. If Stanford plays like they did last week, they will struggle to score a single touchdown against one of the best defenses in college football.
That being said, the Cardinal have another gear offensively than we saw against UCLA, Arizona State and Oregon. KJ Costello should try to run the offense at the fastest tempo possible to force the Huskies into some alignment mistakes. When Stanford slows down and tries to use up clock is when the wheels come off offensively. Also, Bryce Love needs to be at full strength, so he can stay on the field for more plays than last week. His comments post-game and throughout the week would seem to indicate that David Shaw wants to unleash the pass game more this week. I expect to see an improved Stanford offense, but Washington will still make the Cardinal earn every yard.
Alejandro Salinas (AS): Despite a weak schedule, Washington's defense is certainly one of the best in the country. You can expect the defensive line to come prepared to stop Bryce Love's rushing game. Despite the fact the Huskies allow an average of only 91 rushing yards per game, a fast-tempo Stanford offense will likely fatigue the defensive line, helping Bryce Love find openings in the defense. David Shaw should also look to use a wide variety of the playbook, spreading the Washington defense. If Stanford hopes to see Bryce Love consistently break into the backfield, it's going to have to find ways of fatiguing the defense and catching them off guard or out of position. A slow tempo offense will only work in Washington's favor, allowing it to cover the potent Cardinal offense.
Ariana Rollins (AR): Washington might not have played a ton of great teams this season, but they've been characterized by a great defense for the past couple of years, and this still holds true. Royce Freeman is o. 7 in the country in terms of rushing yards, but his game against Washington was the second time this season that he hasn't come away with a touchdown. Oregon's offense is admittedly not the greatest test of a defense, but to hold any team to three points still says something. Washington has proved it can defend against the run; Stanford now needs to prove they can diversify their offense.
KJ Costello was held to 105 passing yards on just nine completions last Saturday. What needs to happen for the Stanford passing game to be effective against a tough Huskies defense?
KJ: The simple answer is, they need to pass more often. KJ Costello had only 20 attempts against Washington State, and the vast majority of those were on third down or in desperation situations late in the game. Stanford will need more creative play calling, so hopefully we will see David Shaw more committed to throwing the ball on first and second down. The Huskies might give up one or two long runs to Love, but just like last week, it will be nearly impossible to generate a consistent run game against such a stout defense. It will be up to the passing game to get things moving.
We know that Costello has the talent. Some of his throws are insanely perfect, and he's engineered some wonderful drives. But this week, he will need more consistency. He has to hang in the pocket and take some hits, because Washington's pass rush is going to be in his face for most of the night. Also, Stanford needs to spread the ball around so defenses can't just key in on JJ Arcega-Whiteside. The Cardinal have a plethora of stud tight ends, but they're not getting the ball enough. Trenton Irwin is an excellent route runner with some of the best hands in the college game, but he's being underutilized. If Stanford can increase the tempo offensively and start airing it out a little bit against the Huskies, they can have success. The Cardinal just need to effectively use all their available weapons.
AS: Washington certainly has one of the best pass protection defenses, allowing an average of 150 passing yards per game, which currently stands as the third best in the country. Despite these statistics, Arizona State managed to complete 29 of 41 passing attempts for 245 yards in its upset against the Huskies. Stanford's offensive game certainly has the potential to match or even exceed Arizona State's performance, but KJ Costello will need to run an efficient fast-tempo and varied offense if he looks complete most of his attempts. Although long shots down the field make for great shifts in momentum if completed, the short, varied passing game will be key to Costello's success, especially given Washington's talented backfield.
AR: I'm excited to see what K.J. Costello can do starting at home, especially given his past tendencies to spark the offense. However, we aren't going to get anywhere without variety in play calling. That doesn't just mean not giving it to Bryce Love all the time, that also means passing to the tight ends more and calling the option sometimes. Without variety, defenses have been able to guess what Stanford is going to do. Furthermore, when they can't, they've pressured the offensive line enough that it's broken down. When the offense works together as a unit, it looks good—but when it doesn't it just looks disjointed and ineffective.
The Stanford defense has undoubtedly been stout lately, and held Washington State to their second-lowest scoring total this season last week. Will the Cardinal hold against Jake Browning, Myles Gaskin and the rest of the explosive Washington offense?
KJ: Washington's offense can be stifled. They were held to just seven points against Arizona State, and Stanford has a much more talented defense than the Sun Devils. The key is the Cardinal defensive line. Harrison Phillips has been outstanding up front, as he's having a season worthy of All-American consideration. But he needs more help against a strong and experienced Husky offensive line. Jake Browning can systematically tear the secondary apart if he has all day to throw. Stanford must generate a pass rush to force him into some hurried decisions. Also, Myles Gaskin is too good to consistently bring down in open space. The Cardinal have to slow him down at the point of attack. Too many times this season, the defensive line has let running backs slip through big holes and have left it up to the linebackers and secondary guys to make heroic tackles. Gaskin will gash Stanford over and over if the defensive line can't corral him right away.
Stanford's secondary was challenged by a creative and fast-paced Washington State air raid offense last week. Washington will present a similar challenge. Quenton Meeks and Justin Reid are studs, but after Alijah Holder's injury, the rest of the defensive backfield is a little inexperienced. Browning is sure to test Holder's replacement, Alameen Murphy, right away. The biggest key is not allowing Dante Pettis to get behind the safeties for a big play. If Stanford can keep everything in front of them against the Huskies, they will have a chance to slowly choke out a Washington offense that has rarely been challenged this season.
AS: If Stanford hopes to contain Washington, it's going to come down to winning one-on-one matchups on the defensive line. As we saw in Washington's game against Arizona State, Jake Browning has a difficult time passing the ball under pressure. He completed 17 throws on 30 attempts for 139 yards, scoring no touchdowns. If there's any hope of stopping the Huskies offense, Stanford can't afford to give Jake Browning all day to throw the ball. The defensive line will need to force Jake Browning to throw under pressure, while also containing Myles Gaskin at the line, rather than letting him explode into the backfield. If the defense can hold off Washington to a field goal, Stanford looks to be in good position, as Tristan Vizcaino has only made three of nine attempts from beyond 30 yards.
AR: Will we be able to successfully apply pressure with the defensive line? For me, that's the make-it-or-break-it factor in our defense. Our secondary has performed well all season, and even with Alijah Holder out last game they still looked good. Peter Kalambayi and Harrison Phillips have been consistently good this season, and we need to apply that consistency to the rest of the line to be able to stop Washington on the line of scrimmage, instead of 12 yards past it. Overall, I'm less worried about the defense as a whole than I am about the offense's production.

Q: Two coins, one experiment: what is the probability that the coin lands on heads on exactly $7$ of the $10$ flips? When coin $1$ is flipped, it lands on heads with probability $0.4$; when coin $2$ is flipped, it lands on heads with probability $0.7$. One of these coins is randomly chosen and flipped $10$ times.
(a) What is the probability that the coin lands on heads on
exactly $7$ of the $10$ flips?
(b) Given that the first of these $10$ flips lands heads, what is the conditional probability that exactly $7$ of the $10$ flips land on heads?
MY ATTEMPT
(a) Let us denote by $X$ the random variable which counts the numbers of heads in 10 flips. Thus $X\sim\text{Binomial}(10,p)$, where the parameter $p$ depends on the coin that is chosen: $C = 1$ stands for the event "the first coin is chosen" and $C = 2$ stands for the event "the second coin is chosen". Based on these considerations, we have the answer to the first question, which is
\begin{align*}
\textbf{P}(X = 7) = \textbf{P}(X = 7\mid C = 1)\textbf{P}(C = 1) + \textbf{P}(X = 7\mid C = 2)\textbf{P}(C = 2)
\end{align*}
where
\begin{cases}
\textbf{P}(X = 7\mid C = 1) = \displaystyle{10\choose 7}(0.4)^{7}(0,6)^{3}\\\\
\textbf{P}(X = 7\mid C = 2) = \displaystyle{10\choose 7}(0.7)^{7}(0,3)^{3}\\\\
\textbf{P}(C = 1) = \textbf{P}(C = 2) = 0.5
\end{cases}
(b) Since $X = \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{10} X_{k}$, where each $X_{k}\sim\text{Bernoulli}(p)$, we are interested in the event $\textbf{P}(X = 7\mid X_{1} = 1)$, which is equivalent to
\begin{align*}
\textbf{P}(X = 7\mid X_{1} = 1) & = \frac{\textbf{P}(X = 7, X_{1} = 1)}{\textbf{P}(X_{1} = 1)} = \frac{\textbf{P}\left(\displaystyle\sum_{k=2}^{10}X_{k} = 6\right)}{\textbf{P}(X_{1} = 1)}
\end{align*}
Since $\textbf{P}(X_{1} = 1) = \textbf{P}(X_{1} = 1 | C = 1)\textbf{P}(C = 1) + \textbf{P}(X_{1} = 1 | C = 2)\textbf{P}(C = 2)$, it suffices to calculate $\textbf{P}(Y = 6)$, where $Y := \displaystyle\sum_{k=2}^{10}X_{k}$ and, consequentely, $Y\sim\text{Binomial}(9,p)$:
\begin{align*}
\textbf{P}(Y = 6) = \textbf{P}(Y = 6\mid C = 1)\textbf{P}(C = 1) + \textbf{P}(Y = 6\mid C = 2)\textbf{P}(C = 2)
\end{align*}
where
\begin{cases}
\textbf{P}(Y = 6\mid C = 1) = \displaystyle{9\choose 6}(0.4)^{6}(0,6)^{3}\\\\
\textbf{P}(Y = 6\mid C = 2) = \displaystyle{9\choose 6}(0.7)^{6}(0,3)^{3}\\\\
\textbf{P}(C = 1) = \textbf{P}(C = 2) = 0.5
\end{cases}
My question is: am I working it right or is there any conceptual misapplication?
Any contribution is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A: For part $a)$,
Let $K_1$ denotes when coin $1$ is chosen and $K_2$ denotes when coin $2$ is chosen.
The probability that the coin lands on heads on exactly $7$ of the $10$ flips is $P(H)$
$$P(H)=P(H|K_1)P(K_1)+P(H|K_2)P(K_2)$$
$$P(H)=\dbinom{10}{7}(0.4)^7(0.6)^3(0.5)+\dbinom{10}{7}(0.7)^7(0.3)^3()0.5$$
For part $b)$,
When the first flip is head, then the probability is computed from choosing $6$ head flips out of $9$ flips in both coins case. So, we get $\dbinom{9}{6}(0.4)^6(0.6)^3(0.5)+\dbinom96(0.7)^6(0.3)^3(0.5)$
Let $T$ denotes the event that the first flip is head.
$$P(H|T)=\dfrac{P(H\cap T)}{P(T)}$$
$P(T)=P(T|K_1)P(K_1)+P(T|K_2)P(K_2)=(0.4)(0.5)+(0.7)(0.5)=0.55$
$P(H\cap T)=P(H\cap T|K_1)P(K_1)+P(H\cap T|K_2)P(K_2)$
$$=\dbinom96(0.4)^6(0.6)^3(0.5)+\dbinom96(0.7)^6(0.3)^3(0.5)$$

Q: Many instances of one java project at the same time using gradle and Jenkins I have an a single java project (let's say its name is PROJ) build in gradle and I wanted to run this project X times parallel, using Jenkins jobs. In addition, I would like to pass some parameters strictly to this project and somehow using it during project execution. How to do that?
Example
I have three Jenkins jobs, all executed at 1am:

*

*JOB1 is building a gradle project PROJ with parameter PAR=V1

*JOB2 is building a gradle project PROJ with parameter PAR=V2

*JOB3 is building a gradle project PROJ with parameter PAR=V3

Inside my java class I want to print the current value of the parameter PAR and the result should be as follows:
JOB1: Value of parameter PAR is V1
JOB2: Value of parameter PAR is V2
JOB3: Value of parameter PAR is V3

(of course due to the fact that tasks will be performed in parallel, messages could be in different order, e.g. V3, V1, V2)
Alternatively, is there a possibility that there can be only one job in Jenkins, but gradle has been configured to build project X times in parallel with different parameters?

Robert G. "Bob" Knight (* 31. Juli 1941) ist ein US-amerikanischer Geschäftsmann und Lokalpolitiker in Kansas. Zwischen 1980 und 2003 war er mehrmals Bürgermeister von Wichita.

Bob Knight wuchs in Kansas als mittleres von drei Kindern einer Arbeiterfamilie auf. Nach Abschluss der Highschool trat er 1959 dem Marine Corps bei. Nach seinem Militärdienst studierte Knight an der Wichita State University, wo er 1970 einen Abschluss in Politikwissenschaften erreichte. Ab den 1970ern arbeitete er als Unternehmensberater und Investor.

Die politische Laufbahn Knights begann 1979 mit der Wahl in den Stadtrat von Wichita. In den 1980ern war er dreimal dessen Vorsitzender und damit dreimal für je ein Jahr Bürgermeister Wichitas. 1986 bewarb sich Bob Knight als Republikaner im 4. Wahlbezirk von Kansas um einen Sitz im Repräsentantenhaus der Vereinigten Staaten, unterlag jedoch dem demokratischen Amtsinhaber Dan Glickman deutlich mit 35:64 Prozent der Stimmen. Nach einer Änderung der Gemeindesatzung Wichitas wurde der Bürgermeister 1989 erstmals seit Jahrzehnten wieder direkt von den Einwohnern gewählt, Bob Knight gewann diese Wahl sowie die Wiederwahl zwei Jahre später. Seine zweite Amtszeit beendete Knight jedoch nicht, da er zum Staatssekretär für Wirtschaft und Wohnbau von Kansas berufen wurde. Sein Nachfolger als Bürgermeister wurde Frank M. Olije.

1995 kehrte Bob Knight nach Wichita zurück und bewarb sich abermals um das Bürgermeisteramt. Er gewann die Wahl gegen Amtsinhaberin Elma Broadfoot knapp mit nur 800 Stimmen Vorsprung. Die Wiederwahl im Jahr 1999 – die Wahlperiode war auf vier Jahre verlängert worden – entschied Knight deutlicher für sich. Als 2003 seine bisher letzte Amtszeit endete, war Knight der am längsten amtierende Bürgermeister in der 130-jährigen Geschichte Wichitas.

Im Jahr 2002 wollte Bob Knight für das Amt des Gouverneurs von Kansas kandidieren, scheiterte jedoch in der republikanischen Primary, in der er den dritten Platz belegte. Privat war er danach in der Glücksspielbranche tätig und an der Ansiedlung eines Spielcasinos in Wichita beteiligt. Im August 2013 gab Knight bekannt, sich 2015 möglicherweise noch einmal einer Bürgermeisterwahl zu stellen.

In this course we will follow Ngugi wa Thiong'o's call to "Move the Centre" by focusing on recent literature written in the space that is closest to us—Nigeria. We will ask questions such as: Who is the audience? What is the market for contemporary African literature? In what languages are Nigerian authors writing? How does contemporary Nigerian literature capture (or not) the kind of events happening around us? What themes re-occur in these works and how is fantasy or realism used in the novels?
"The Headstrong Historian" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in The Thing Around Your Neck, p. 198-218.
You will write a final 6-7 page analytical paper studying at least one of the novels we have studied in class. You may compare or contrast themes in novels we have read or do a detailed analysis of a specific motif or metaphor you found in one of the other novels. You may also compare and contrast one of the novels we read in class to a novel or film you accessed outside of class. The first draft of this 6-7 page paper will be due 23 March. The second draft will be due on 27 April.
Extra Credit: You may earn up to 3 points of extra credit for each additional review of an African novel you make in an online forum like Amazon.com, Goodreads, a blog, or an open facebook post. Each additional review will be worth 1 point and to get the extra credit, it must be on a book we have not read in class and it must match the thoughtful analysis of the posts we have read for class.
Week 1: January 27: Introduction to the course. Questionnaire. Read Short Stories for next week.

Ev Alliance · 04. April 2003
A Russian Evangelical Alliance is Back on the Scene
The refounding of the Russian Evangelical Alliance took place in Rumyantsevo near Moscow on April 2. The step was supported by the vast majority of the more than 150 participants stemming from over 40 churches, organisations, associations, missions and local alliances. A final constitution is to be passed at the next national conference in one year; issues of membership, finance and leadership structures need further clarification. The delegates agreed that the establishment of an annual prayer week, joint Bible conferences and evangelistic campaigns as well as the execution of social and political responsibilities will rate as primary future concerns.
Gordon Showell-Rogers (London), General Secretary of the European Evangelical Alliance, was impressed by the strong desire for the creation of an Alliance. "A lot of differences surfaced during these few days," he conceded. "But I was surprised by the degree of unanimity. And it wasn't that people agreed reluctantly – they agreed with strong passion about the matter at hand."
Dr. Vladimir Ryagusov, Rector of Moscow's Baptist seminary and chairman of the founding committee, added: "I was surprised by the unity of spirit among the delegates. They clearly understand the implications of an Evangelical Alliance for Russia and the tasks with which they will be confronted." He nevertheless acknowledged that a number of charismatic and Pentecostal groups chose not to attend. There were also no delegates of confessional Lutheranism as represented by America's "Missouri Synod" present. Fears of weakened sovereignty and umbrella organisations per se remain part of the historic heritage of Russian Protestantism.
Ryagusov appealed in his lecture for the fusion of some church efforts. He finds it unacceptable for ex. if three small congregations in a remote village somewhere in this vast, thinly-populated country are each served by a pastor from the appropriate denomination while thousands elsewhere remain ignorant of the Gospel.
There was in any case no lack of good-will declarations. The Methodist Bishop Dr. Rüdiger Minor (Moscow) claimed that the 7,000 Russian Methodists "enthusiastically applaud the concept of an Alliance". Addressing the delegates, Siegfried Springer (Moscow), Bishop of the "Evangelical Lutheran Church in European Russia" assured: "If you ever need me for something, then I will be there for you. And I trust that when I will be needing your aid, I will have the freedom to come to you. It is the same Spirit who unites and carries us." His denomination was represented primarily by a delegation from Saratov on the Volga.
Conference organisers stressed the fact that the Russian Alliance is not of recent inception. The first Russian Alliance was founded in 1906. It nevertheless unravelled a year later after a dispute between Baptists and the Orthodox-influenced Neomolokists on the issue of baptism. Already in 1896 Alliance spokespersons had approached the Tsar on matters of religious freedom; six years later Russian evangelicals contributed to the purchase of the German Alliance's conference centre in Bad Blankenburg/Thuringia. Regional alliances reappeared in Russia in the mid-1990s; they are now active in Krasnodar, Perm, Saratov, Izhevsk, Omsk and Odessa. The annual brochure on the Alliance Week of Prayer in January has appeared in Russian for the past four years.
The Moscow lawyer and Baptist Yekaterina Smyslova stresses: "Government officials often regard us Protestants as fly-by-night operators resulting from the missionary efforts of foreigners. If they now notice that we are native and speak with a unified voice, then it will improve our reputation in the eyes of society." Russia is presently home to 720,000 Protestants making up 0.5% of the populace.
Also active in Rumyantsevo was Pastor Ulrich Materne of Wittenberge, the German Alliance's official adviser on Russia. He has for years been involved in efforts to resuscitate the Russian Alliance.
Berlin, 4 April 2003
This is an official press release of the Russian Evangelical Alliance, 611 words.

Editorial: Police body cameras and secrecy don't mix – Tampa Bay Times
Body cameras for police officers have the potential to increase public trust in law enforcement, reduce the risk that citizens will be victims of excessive force and protect officers from unfounded accusations of abuse. Yet legislation that will be considered by the Florida Senate today would gut those goals and create more suspicion of police by keeping body camera videos secret in too many situations. The proposed public records exemptions are far too broad, and lawmakers should reject them.
The legislation (SB 248) takes the presumption in Florida that government records are open to public inspection and turns it on its head. Videos from police body cameras would be kept secret if the recordings were made inside a private residence or a facility that offers health care, mental health care or social services. So police officers could storm into a house and beat a defenseless resident, yet videos from their body cameras would not be available to the public? Law enforcement officers could act recklessly in any hospital, youth camp or school that offers these services and not worry their actions were being recorded?
It gets worse. The legislation also would exempt videos from police body cameras at the scene of any incident involving a death or an injury that requires taking someone to a medical facility. That covers virtually any situation involving a police shooting, serious auto accident or arrest involving excessive force.
The video of the white South Carolina police officer shooting and killing a black motorist who ran after he was stopped for a broken taillight? The video of the man being beaten by sheriff's deputies in the California desert? Any video of police responding to the horrible accident Saturday morning in St. Petersburg in which a pedestrian was killed and the driver ran before he was found and arrested?
If video had been taken by a police officer's body camera in those situations, it would be kept secret from the public under this legislation. The public records exemptions would make the body cameras useless as tools for holding police accountable for their actions.
Instead, the videos could become little more than promotional propaganda for police departments. The legislation would give law enforcement agencies the discretion to release the videos to the public to "further its official duties and responsibilities." So Floridians could see plenty of videos of police officers doing their jobs well, but be kept in the dark when the officers' performance falls short. To give police departments the discretion to decide when they will release body camera videos and when they won't turns the public records law inside out.
The legislation would allow the media or the public to seek a court order to force body camera videos to be released. But it says judges must consider eight factors, including whether making the video public would harm the reputation of a person in the recording. Good luck arguing a police video at a crime scene is not hurting someone's reputation.
There are legitimate issues to consider about the public release of police body camera videos. The victims of sexual assault or abuse should not be depicted, and there already are public records exemptions that address those situations. Juveniles who are not involved in serious crimes and not in public places deserve some protection. Police informants in many situations have to be protected. But this legislation is not narrowly tailored to address those sorts of reasonable privacy concerns. That is why it is opposed by groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP and the First Amendment Foundation, which advocates for public records and open meetings.
The Senate needs to start over. This bill ranks among the worst in years in creating broad exemptions to the public records law that serve no legitimate purpose. It would turn police body cameras into props to create only the facade of accountability, and it would invite more distrust about police rather than build public confidence in law enforcement.

"The year 1960 proved a banner year for soprano Leontyne Price, considered the first Afro-American singer to achieve international status as a classical artist in opera. After her European debut, she and conductor Herbert von Karajan bonded well; and here in Salzburg (24 August 1960), they both appear at the top of their respective forms. Karajan assembles a stellar vocal ensemble for the REQUIEM, including the inimitable voice of tenor Fritz Wunderlich whose appearance in the Tuba mirum, Recordare, Domine Jesu Christe, and Benedictus sections proves especially felicitous. We could spend considerable time focusing on individual touches by Price in her stratospheric tessitura or the clear, plangent bass tones of Walter Berry. The performance has majesty and breadth, the pacing solemn without heaviness, unlike many of the Berlin Karajan experiences.
The pirate label Archipel adds some fifteen minutes of the DON GIOVANNI production from the same Salzburg Festival. Price projects a severe Donna Anna, from her opening 'Or sai chi l'onore', where she has deduced that the Don had been complicit in her father's death, and she begs vengeance upon the murderer. From Act II, Scene 5 we have the recitative and aria, 'Crudele? Ah, no, mio ben! Non mi dir, bell'idol mio', in which Donna Anna entreats Don Ottavio to delay talk of marriage until her period of mourning has passed. The grim fatality of the scene finds a deep response in Price. With the Karajan ensemble's excitement and tonal pungency behind her, Price virtually has the Salzburg audience howling their delight. A fine record, with more than acceptable sound, and an insert photo of Eberhard Waechter that will serve as a pin-up."
