US American football quarterback, born 2002
Oklahoma true freshman quarterback Caleb Williams was announced as one of 14 semifinalists for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award. The award is presented annually to the outstanding freshman player in college football by the Maxwell Football Club.
Williams started six games for the Sooners. The Washington, D.C., native completed 62.5 percent of his passes and has thrown for 1,670 passing yards, 18 passing touchdowns and just four interceptions.
Williams was the hero in Oklahoma's annual rivalry game against Texas. In the Red River Showdown, Williams replaced Spencer Rattler and passed for 212 yards and a pair of touchdowns to help rally the Sooners back from an early 28-7 deficit. Williams also had a 66-yard rushing touchdown against the Longhorns in OU's 55-48 comeback victory.
Against Texas Tech, Williams became just the third quarterback in Oklahoma history to pass for six touchdowns with no interceptions in a single game. Williams ended that day versus the Red Raiders with 402 passing yards.
One of Williams' other highly-efficient days came against TCU. Against the Horned Frogs, Williams tossed four touchdown passes on 18-of-23 passing for 295 yards.
Then, against Kansas, Williams took the football away from redshirt junior running back Kennedy Brooks on a 4th-and-1 snap and scampered five yards to help preserve an eventual 35-23 victory over the Jayhawks.
Williams nearly engineered a late Bedlam comeback in the final minute. Similar to other heroics throughout the season, Williams broke free for a 56-yard run to the Oklahoma State 24-yard-line.
However, after three straight incompletions, Williams was sacked by Oklahoma State's Collin Oliver and the Cowboys topped Oklahoma in Bedlam, 37-33, to end the Sooners' string of six consecutive Big 12 championships.
Now, with Oklahoma still in the midst of a head coaching search, the question is whether or not Williams will be a part of the future for Oklahoma. Sooner fans would certainly love for Williams to stay.
So far, all anybody really knows about whether or not Williams will stay or go is based on what he's shared across social media.
I appreciate all the concerns about the situation but I am also happy for Coach Riley, mama Riley, Sloan and Stella for that huge opportunity ahead. That's all I plan to say right now! #boomer

Williams tweeted this on Sunday after the news that Lincoln Riley was leaving Oklahoma to become USC's new head coach.
"I appreciate all the concerns about the situation but I am also happy for Coach Riley, mama Riley, Sloan and Stella for that huge opportunity ahead. That's all I plan to say right now! #boomer."
Williams attended Oklahoma basketball's 74-67 win over No. 14 Florida and received one of the loudest applauses of the night when he was shown on the scoreboard. Still, what his future holds remains to be seen.

Mountain Tarp's ESR2000, an electric side-to-side lock and roll tarping system, features a heavy-duty electric motor, single-button open and close controls, and a reinforced aluminum front arm with spring assembly.
Available in direct drive or with a chain drive motor assembly, it's designed for applications like grain hauling, but also has a place when covering such things as coal, coal ash, rocks and construction materials, the company adds.
Options include a flexible base assembly or rear arms for additional stability in regions known for high winds, as well as a remote control.
A simplified design with fewer mechanisms means that even a novice can install the system in less than four hours, the company says. And if repairs are needed, the ESR2000's arms, springs and component parts are compatible with any type of side-mount spring system. A standard motor slide coupler makes it possible to disengage the motor to manually roll the tarp with a hand crank if anything fails in the field.

CSU students, faculty held rallies statewide
HAYWARD, Calif.
One of the protests took place at CSU Hayward.
"I'm fighting for my future as a faculty member and I'm fighting for my students' future. We deserve a future and without public education we will not have a future," said CSU Prof. Luz Calvo.
Students and faculty here all have stories of packed classrooms, a lack of supplies, broken technology and tuition increases that put college classes out of reach for many.
"I'm a peer advisor on campus. The freshman are coming in and automatically the first quarter they are taking out loans. I didn't have to do that. The opportunities are different than when I started here in 2006," said CSU student Abby Andrade.
They're not only concerned about what has already happened, but what is yet to come.
"They're looking to cut $500 million from CSU, but now it's looking like that is going to be double and we are looking at $1 billion cuts to CSU next year. It's catastrophic that level of cuts," said Calvo.
Students and faculty had a full day of demonstrations planned. They're calling for cuts at the administrative level, instead of cuts to the classroom. Cal State administration refused to comment on the protests.
"I think we have to start making demands on our state legislature and how much we value public education in our state. That's what made our state great and if we don't defend it - really what will happen to California," said Calvo.
They are also calling for the resignation of Chancellor Charles Reed. His office said they appreciate the sentiment, but the students need to drag their energy toward Sacramento, that is where the cuts are being made.

Balochistan And The Upcoming Elections By Malik Siraj Akbar
It seems impossible for the BNP to run a safe election campaign under constant fear of assault and disruption by armed groups allegedly affiliated with the intelligence agencies.
The Baloch nationalists are debating among themselves whether or not to participate in the upcoming general elections. So, is Balochistan's political landscape going to change if the nationalists return to parliament? All nationalists are not on the same page on this crucial question, nor are they all equally capable of normalising the situation in the province.
The moderate National Party (NP), which boasts about its middle class composition, has publicly acknowledged that it committed a "blunder" by boycotting the 2008 elections because they were immediately replaced by local rivals from the Balochistan National Party-Awami (BNP-Awami). In March 2009, the NP eventually returned to parliament by getting its leader, Hasil Bizenjo, elected as a senator with the help of the PPP, the PML-Q and some independent MPAs.
The Balochistan National Party (BNP) has still not decided to contest elections but its decision is very critical. The BNP, headed by former chief minister Sardar Akhtar Mengal, is caught up in a dilemma for three reasons.
Firstly, Baloch armed groups oppose the idea of elections, integration and reconciliation with Islamabad. The BNP is not a contributor to the armed insurgency. Street politics is its strongest point and a decision to participate in the elections will directly pit it against the hardline Baloch groups. Secondly, the party fears its exiled president will be assassinated on his return to Pakistan, just like Habib Jalib, the party's secretary general. Opposition to General (retd) Pervez Musharraf had landed Sardar Mengal in a Karachi jail for 20 months. Thirdly, the BNP blames the security establishment for creating anti-nationalist underground armed groups such as the Baloch Musla Defai Tanzeem to attack the anti-government nationalists. This group has killed several senior BNP leaders, including three members of its central committee. It seems impossible for the BNP to run a safe election campaign under constant fear of assault and disruption by armed groups allegedly affiliated with the intelligence agencies.
The BNP will probably participate in the elections only if powerful elements in the security apparatus assure them that no more attacks would be carried out on the party's leaders and activists during the election campaign. Participation in the polls, nonetheless, does not guarantee nationalists' landslide electoral victory. They are very likely to lose for the following reasons.
The nationalist parties have not exercised street politics for the past many years. The absence of key leaders such as Sardar Mengal of the BNP has totally disconnected the ordinary Baloch voter from their leaders. These parties also did not show any interest in the preparation of the voters' lists. Their rural voters are not even listed nor do many of them possess computerised identity cards. Political parties normally require at least one year to prepare for the elections whereas the Baloch nationalists do not seem to have fully completed their homework yet.
Furthermore, there is simply no 'sympathy vote' in Baloch districts for the nationalists. The 'kill and dump' policies, for which intelligence agencies and the Frontier Corps are blamed, have increased support for armed groups among ordinary Balochs. They look at parliament and elections as a source of further strengthening the power of the state. The relatives of the killed or disappeared political activists support insurgent groups, instead of pro-parliament parties, in reaction to the killing of their loved ones.
Finally, Baloch tribal chiefs from the PPP, the PML-Q and the BNP-Awami have accumulated so much wealth from the official treasury that it is practically impossible for the nationalists to have the same amount of finances to run election campaigns. Access to official machinery further benefits the current legislators against the nationalists.
The elections will be a futile exercise if there is no change in the current composition of the Balochistan Assembly. The status quo did not change after the 2008 elections and a similar outcome this time will further block a ballot-driven solution for the Balochistan conflict. The government should make sure that intelligence agencies do not finance and influence the elections so that neutral results are achieved.

The clouds of gloom are gathering
The slowdown in the economy poses a political challenge to Germany's chancellor, Gerhard Schröder
EuropeJun 30th 2001 edition
"THERE is no cause for panic," Germany's normally unruffled chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, says grimly, implying that some think otherwise. Not since 1996 has the outlook for Europe's biggest economy been so gloomy. According to Ifo, a Munich-based research institute, Germany can expect growth of no more than 1.2% this year. There is even talk of recession. Unemployment has been rising relentlessly for the past five months. Inflation in May reached an annual rate of 3.5%, its highest since 1993. Industrial production is tumbling. Business confidence is at its lowest in two years. And a general election is due in just over a year.
Panic? Well, maybe not. But there is a whiff of something approaching it in government ranks. Only a few months ago, the Social Democrats seemed a shoo-in for a second four-year term. The economy was chugging along nicely, or so it seemed. The ruling red-Green coalition appeared united, with its most controversial reforms safely out of the way. The opposition, the strife-torn, scandal-rocked Christian Democrats, seemed a spent force. Mr Schröder could even dream of winning an absolute majority in the next election, something no party has achieved since 1957.
But the latest crop of grim economic data is beginning to damage the smooth-talking chancellor. As recently as April he was still talking of being on a path of "robust growth", before agreeing to trim the government's forecast for the current year from 2.7% to 2.0%. Now, just two months later, it looks as if it may have to be revised sharply downwards again.
All the more dangerous for Mr Schröder, then, if Edmund Stoiber, the powerful premier of Bavaria and the leader of the Christian Democrats' sister party in that state, the Christian Social Union, were to decide to stand against Mr Schröder in next year's election. Bavaria, once one of (West) Germany's poorest and most sluggish Länder (states), is now one of its richest, most modern and prosperous. The lean, silver-haired Mr Stoiber radiates competence, authority, control.
Angela Merkel, the Christian Democrats' leader, appears in contrast to be almost a country bumpkin, woefully lacking the qualities needed to govern the country in troubled times. Even within her own party, more and more voices can be heard suggesting that the Bavarian premier would be the best person to take on Mr Schröder. According to the latest opinion polls, 56% of centre-right voters would like to see Mr Stoiber as their candidate for chancellor; a mere 16% opted for Mrs Merkel, leader of much the bigger party.
But Mr Stoiber has repeatedly said he will not stand, preferring to remain premier in Bavaria. What he wants, of course, is not necessarily the same as what he will do—given enough pressure. But his persistent denials are leading some to think that he really does mean what he says. Mr Stoiber is nearly 60. In Germany's second-most populous state, where his party has held an absolute majority of the legislature's seats for the past 30 years, he can do pretty well what he likes. His wife of the past 33 years, to whom he is devoted, does not want to move.
Besides, there is still little evidence that he would win. Despite the darkening economic landscape, Mr Schröder remains well ahead in the opinion polls. Asked which party could best solve Germany's problems, nearly a third of respondents still plump for the Social Democrats, twice as many as choose the Christian Democrats; half consider no party competent. But, as Mr Schröder knows only too well, the public mood can change fast. And the danger signals are already there.
The Christian Democrats are now pressing the government to try to boost the flagging economy by bringing forward the income-tax cuts due to be phased in over the next four years and dropping its next planned rise in energy taxes. But the government is resisting. It has staked its reputation on its ability to control public spending and reduce new borrowing to nil by 2006. DM45 billion ($19.8 billion) has already been lopped off company and private-household tax bills this year. It is still hoping the cut will help pep up domestic demand, though there is little sign of that yet. With tax income weak because of reduced growth, and with mounting costs from rising unemployment and "mad-cow" disease, the government is now unlikely to meet this year's planned public-spending deficit of 1.5% of GDP.
On the economic front, Mr Schröder has little room for manoeuvre. He could try to tackle some of the infamous rigidities in Germany's labour market—but not with a general election looming. Indeed, in some respects the rigidities may be worsening. Last week several regional health-insurance funds said they would put up premiums. That will scupper the government's pledge to bring health and other social-welfare contributions below the equivalent of 40% of gross wages. A law strengthening company works councils, passed last week as a sop to the unions, will not help either.
But Mr Schröder should not be underestimated as a tactician. He already has a solid set of reforms behind him, and just last weekend, after years of wrangling, two more were approved: a new revenue-sharing scheme among the Länder to run from 2005 until 2020, and a new DM306 billion "solidarity pact" for the former communist eastern states. Moreover, despite the election, he is forging ahead with further controversial legislation: an immigration bill and a reform of civil-service pensions promised for this autumn.
Few economists believe there is a serious danger of recession in Germany, in the sense of negative growth over at least two quarters. Most guess that the economy will begin to pick up in the second half of the year, after a poor second quarter. But no one doubts that from now on the going will be a lot rougher for Mr Schröder.

Música y Cine Ensayos: EJERCICIOS RESUELTO ESTATICA. Simple Stresses Simple stresses Caso Sabritas Resuelto · Ejercicio 3 Apa 2. -a-camioneta-de-sabritas-en-michoacan/ T yearly Castañeda dijo que su departamento ya investiga el caso en .. Colombia sigue en 27, cuando se supone que ya habían resuelto las cosas, pero (se) sigue potato-chip company Sabritas, in Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico.
Rezuelto the force is going to pull the material, the stress is said to be tensile stress and compressive stress develops when the material is being compressed by two opposing forces. Another unit of stress which is not commonly used is the dynes cgs unit.
For the truss shown in Fig. Suspension bridges are good sabritae of structures that carry these stresses. Another condition of shearing is when we twist a bar along its longitudinal axis.
Simple stresses are expressed as the sabrihas of the applied force divided by the resisting area or. Tensile stress applied to bar tends the bar to elongate while compressive stress tend to shorten the bar. Normal Stress Stress Stress is the expression of force applied to a unit area of surface.
P is supported cas a smooth pin at C and a cable that runs from A to B around the smooth peg at D.
Example is the bolt that holds the tension rod in its anchor. An aluminum rod is rigidly attached between a steel rod and a bronze rod as shown in Fig. Solution Problem An aluminum rod is rigidly attached between a steel rod and a bronze rod as shown in Fig.
There are three types of simple stress namely; normal stress, shearing stress, and bearing stress.
Normal Stress The resisting area is perpendicular to the applied force, thus normal. Indicate tension T or compression C. The suspension cables then transferred the force into bridge towers. A inches sabriras steel bearing plate lies between an 8-inches diameter. Solution Problem A rod is composed of an aluminum section rigidly attached between steel and bronze sections, as shown in Fig.
Find the stress in the cable if its diameter is 0. There are two types of normal stresses; tensile stress and compressive stress. Shear stress is developed if the applied force is parallel to the resisting area.
Solution Problem A inches square steel bearing plate lies between an 8-inches diameter wooden post and a concrete footing as shown in Fig. The stress in either wire is not to exceed 30 ksi. Solution Problem For the truss shown in Fig.
Determine the largest weight W that can be supported by two wires shown in Fig. Another type of simple stress is the bearing stress, it is the contact pressure between two bodies. Stress is the expression of force applied to a unit area of surface. The resisting area is perpendicular to the applied force, thus normal.
Axial loads are applied at the positions indicated. Stress is the ratio of force over area. The crosssectional area of each member is 1. Simple stress can be classified as normal stress, shear stress, and bearing stress.
This type of shearing is called torsion and covered in Chapter 3. The weight of the vehicle is carried by the bridge deck and passes the force to the stringers vertical cableswhich in turn, supported by the sabrutas suspension cables. Determine the maximum value of the load P if the stress in wood is limited to psi and that in concrete to psi.

Solution Problem A homogeneous kg bar AB is supported at either end by a cable as shown in Fig. The cross-sectional areas of wires AB and AC are 0. The maximum stress in tension or compression occurs over a section normal to the load.

(HARRISBURG, PA)���Matthew Ehrhart, Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) Pennsylvania Executive Director, released the following statement regarding the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's final Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on November 29, 2010.
"The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) has completed a preliminary review of Pennsylvania's plan and we are encouraged by the new commitments outlined in the final Plan. We acknowledge that the Commonwealth has made many changes to the initial draft WIP, and we applaud the state's open process that involved many stakeholders. But the Commonwealth has not completed the job, yet.
"As CBF urged, the Commonwealth has made significant improvements towards ensuring compliance with existing laws for, and resulting reductions from, the largest source of pollution loads���agriculture.
"While Pennsylvania has some of the best agricultural laws in the region, enforcement and compliance with those laws has been severely lacking. It's estimated that over half of Pennsylvania farms do not have current conservation and/or manure management plans that are fully implemented. The state is now proposing an aggressive education and enforcement program to change that, with the expectation of having all 40,000 of the estimated farms in the watershed in baseline compliance in 7 years.
While Pennsylvania recently established a very successful nonpoint source funding initiative through PENNVEST, the WIP must provide a clear commitment to continue and expand this crucial program at a sufficient level of funding.
While we applaud Secretary Hanger's intention to establishing a Baywide fund to support innovative agricultural pollution reduction technologies, the WIP must commit Pennsylvania to funding the program regardless of other jurisdictions' support.
We firmly believe that both the REAP tax credit program and the conservation districts must be funded at $10 million each, along with other program enhancements, in order to achieve necessary reductions.
"Unfortunately, while the revised plan reflects progress for reducing polluted runoff from Pennsylvania farms, it is substantially deficient in addressing stormwater pollution.
"Despite the plans positive proposals to address stormwater pollution, such as an intention to increase technical staff, legislation aimed at limiting pollution from lawn fertilizers, and a commitment to develop a "compliance and enforcement" strategy, it continues to lack fundamental details on how these and other stormwater commitments will be achieved.
"Polluted runoff from our cities and suburbs degrades over 4,200 miles of Commonwealth streams and remains the only source of water pollution in Pennsylvania that is increasing. Stormwater pollution must be aggressively addressed if we are to meet our clean water requirements.
"CBF applauds the extensive effort by the Commonwealth to improve the Plan. Substantial improvements over the previous draft have been made but many shortcomings remain. We urge the state to work with EPA and stakeholders over the next few weeks to address these shortcomings to ultimately ensure that the WIP achieves reasonable assurance that Pennsylvania can achieve pollution reductions under the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. If the Commonwealth fails to do so, then EPA will have no alternative but to exercise its statutory responsibility under the Clean Water Act and require additional actions be taken."
Learn more about the state WIPs and the EPA's Chesapeake Bay "pollution diet."
Urge Congress to move forward with the Chesapeake Clean Water Act before year-end.

We went ice skating as a family during a free skating day at the local ice skating rink. We found out about this because we watch the local community calendar.
We played several board games among the ones already sitting on our shelves. At different times so far this year, all of us have suggested playing a different game.
We've continued a daily family reading time where the adults are reading aloud from a relatively long novel (currently, Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick, which was a gift for our family) and then everyone reads a book independently (except for our two year old, who receives help from an older sibling or a parent) from their collection or from the library.
We've gone sledding several times at a large hill near our house.
We visited a local food co-op during a "food celebration" where we enjoyed enough samples to serve as our family's lunch while also learning a great deal about what foods are in season at various times of the year in our area as well as how cheese is made.
We built an enormous palace out of almost our entire collection of LEGO bricks, incorporating some Magna-Tiles as well. We also built an interpretation of Big Ben out of LEGOs.
We did a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle and most of a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle, both of which were received as gifts recently.
We spent a large portion of a weekend making an enormous art project out of materials already around the house, including dried beans, magazine pictures, and a small mountain of other art supplies.
We started an inventory of every piece of stored clothing in the house, figuring out which hand-me-downs from cousins now fit our older children and figuring out which pieces from our older children fit their youngest sibling. This turned into two days of dress-up.
We also started an inventory of all of the toys that had accumulated around our home. We've been sorting these into two piles, with one of the piles intended to be given to Goodwill or to any charity that can take them and use them. This has enabled the children to play with a lot of toys they haven't touched in a while and also to recognize that there are some that they simply don't enjoy any more.
We transformed a bunch of the 2012 Christmas cards we received into ornaments and mementos for future Christmases, mostly just using careful cutting and folding.
We've taken daily inspections of a house construction project near our home, walking around the new construction and observing the day-to-day changes and the work involved. This has been a spectacular tool for teaching our kids what goes into building a house.
We've also went on several family walks on the warmer afternoons, strolling around the neighborhood just to get some fresh air, stretch out our legs, and see what's happening around us.
We've enjoyed three movie nights in which we put on a classic family film, turned the lights down low, and enjoyed some of the popcorn that's been in the pantry for a while.
We've had quite a few long conversations about the things that our children are curious about. This led to some research and conversations on topics as diverse as the Red Scare of the 1940s and 1950s, the role of percussion in a musical group, and potentially useful evolutionary adaptations of the human body.
We made a gigantic blanket fort that took over the basement, the stairs leading to the main floor, and part of the kitchen.
The world is filled with things to do that don't involve spending more money.

After riding Kingdom Trails during NEMBA Fest all day, Jeff Lenosky, Nate Hills and I headed up to Burke Mountain for a lap down Jester. This was my first time really meeting both of the guys and wow do they rip!!! Not only that, but they are super genuine and fun to ride with. Nate might be the funniest guy ever if you like dry humor (I do!) Also, Jester is one of the coolest jump trails I've ever ridden. There are 30 lines down the whole thing, talk about great building.

The announcement of the World Trade Center project being behind schedule made the community aware that something has to be done to remedy the situation; we might have just gotten our first break. The executive director of the Port Authority, Christopher Ward, told the local Community Board 1 last night that an agreement with the leaders of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church for an exchange of land needed to provide the congregation with a new home near ground zero had been reached. The church was destroyed after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center's South Tower collapsed and obliterated the building.
The unrealistic expectations of many have made for disagreements. The public wants to see the World Trade Center in its glory as soon as possible, however people must be patient. We are verging on the 7th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, and we are ready to get closer. Mr. Ward later clarified his comments to reporters, saying, "We are finalizing an agreement and I would expect it to be done soon. "The inability to strike a deal with the church has impeded the Port Authority from building the 16-acre site's southern foundation wall and finalizing designs for an underground security screening center. Negotiations stalled over the funding for and exact location of the new church.
Mr. Ward was joined at the hearing by the deputy mayor for economic development, Robert Lieber, the president of World Trade Center Properties, Janno Lieber, the chairman of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp., Avi Schick, the president of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation, Joseph Daniels, and the president of the Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center, Robert Harvey, who were answering questions from residents and members of the community board about delays at the site.
New Yorkers reactions to the delay are varied, however many are anxious for it to be finished. The agreement with the church is one step closer to finishing the WTC project. People are being very understanding of the situation and know that the city is trying to do a good job and provide the public with a place to come to pay their respects. There is also the unfortunate situation of the reoccurring illnesses among World Trade Center workers. Napoli Bern Ripka Napoli is doing everything they can to get the compensation for the rescue workers, and encourages people to participate in the Journey.

Migrants from 12 countries among 600 found in two trucks in Mexico
Migrant caravan heads north, in Tapanatepec
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Migrants from 12 countries were among 600 people found hidden in the back of two trucks in eastern Mexico on Friday, most of them from neighboring Guatemala, the government's National Migration Institute (INM) said on Saturday.
The INM said 401 of the people were from Guatemala, 53 from Honduras, 40 from the Dominican Republic, 37 from Bangladesh, 27 from Nicaragua, 18 from El Salvador and eight from Cuba.
There were also six men from Ghana, four people from Venezuela, four men from Ecuador, a man from India and a man from Cameroon in the two trailers discovered in Veracruz state.
The institute said 455 of the migrants were male, and 145 female. The people detained would either be sent home or given the chance to have their stay in Mexico regularized, it added.
Most migrants from Central America and the rest of the world who enter Mexico head for the United States and say they are seeking to escape poverty or violence in their homelands.

Let's play a fun town building game about faeries…and definitely not Frog Fractions 2 in disguise. This may be a weird episode, but it may also be amazing as we dive into the weird.
OneShot is a adventure game about Niko, a child with cat eyes on a quest in a strange land with a dead sun. It is up to him to bring a new light bulb to the tower in this world, which will become a new sun. Along the way Niko encounters a world of broken or abandoned robots, puzzles, and mysteries.
Luckily he is joined by me. I literally mean me, Kevin. As Niko travels, I search my hard drive for hidden files, including documents that have gone missing from the world of OneShot. If this sounds fourth wall breaking and meta, it is.
ICEY is the story of a subversive 4th wall breaking narrator and and android who may make the narrator lose his patience. It's half great 2D action game and half battle of wits.
I intentionally skip a good portion of the game. Go out there, hit Steam, and try the game for yourself. It will make you laugh and feel happy about life in general.

Q: SimpleExpandableListAdapter sections titles I implemented my SimpleExpandableListAdapter, and I'm trying to customize the section titles. To do this I pass to the constructor the id of a custom TextView for the groupTo parameter:
    setListAdapter( new SimpleExpandableListAdapter(this,
                                                    groupsData,
                                                    android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1,
                                                    new String[]{SECTION},
                                                    new int[]{R.id.list_group_title},
                                                    innerData,
                                                    0,
                                                    null,
                                                    new int[]{}){ /*my code here*/ });

<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/list_group_title"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="20dip" />

Problem is, nothing is showing up! The whole thing is blank, as if the view wasn't there.
Any idea on why, or any link I could read up to solve this? Thanks!

A:     MyAdapter ma = new MyAdapter(this,groupsData,android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1,new String[]{SECTION}, new int[]{R.layout.list_group_title},innerData,0,null,new int[]{});
    setListAdapter(ma);

    private static class MyAdapter extends SimpleExpandableListAdapter
    {
            LayoutInflater layoutInflater;
            int title;

            public MyAdapter(Context context,List<? extends Map<String, ?>> groupData,int groupLayout,String[ ] groupFrom,int[ ] groupTo,List<? extends List<? extends Map<String, ?>>> childData,int childLayout,String[ ] childFrom, int[ ] childTo)
            {
                super(context,groupData,groupLayout,groupFrom,groupTo,childData,childLayout,childFrom,childTo);
                title = groupTo[0];
                layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            }
            @Override
            public View getGroupView(int groupPosition,boolean isExpanded,View convertView,ViewGroup parent)
            {
                return (TextView)layoutInflater.inflate(title,null);
            }
    }

Inflating it in getGroupView does the trick. Still, I don't understand why it is not passed automatically to the super constructor.

A superball is a solid rubber ball, we'll assume it's elastic and close to lossless. It also grips any surface so contacts are no-slip. We assume conservation of momentum, angular momentum around any point and no-slip and assume points of impact store and release energy in zero time. Impact via elastic particle model.
Stuff about elastic and inelastic collisions.
1 - Take the bouncy ball and roll it gently across a horizontal surface towards a wall. Watch to see how far it bounces back.
2 - Repeat, but this time roll the ball towards a wall lubricated with a little vaseline.
They're different! What's going on?
The point of this experiment is not only to look at how far the ball bounces back, but to think about how the spin direction changes. After saying this you may want to repeat the experiment to investigate. If you think of the ball rolling clockwise when it moves towards the wall, then on the way back it must be rolling anticlockwise. This change in spin direction requires energy, but where is the energy coming from? For advanced groups you can relate this to its angular momentum and this change in momentum requires a force.
When rolling the ball against a dry wall, you may have noticed that it bounces at the wall. It is this bounce that helps the ball to change its spin direction, and it's the wall that's providing the kick.
Taking a closer look, you will see that as the ball approaches the wall, it tries to continue up the wall, rolling in the direction it was going (ie: clockwise). However, gravity means that it can't do that for very long, and so it has to fall back down again. This makes the ball start to bounce and roll the other way (to see a graphical simulation of this effect, go to Hugh Hunt's website).
So what happens when there is oil on the wall? In contrast to when the wall was nice and dry, the ball can no longer grip and roll upwards. This prevents the ball from bouncing and can no longer use the wall to change its spin direction.
The result is that the ball starts rolling back to us spinning the wrong way (ie: still in the clockwise direction). The only way it can start to spin anticlockwise is by relying on friction between the ball and the floor. However by the time it's done so, the ball has lost all of its energy and comes to a complete stop.
This is why the ball doesn't roll back as far when there is oil on the wall. The oil reduces the friction, stops the ball getting a kick up the wall, and leaves the ball still rolling forwards even though it's moving backwards.
So can we see this effect anywhere else? You might expect to see balls bouncing in this way when they roll towards the cushion in a game of snooker. In fact, you won't see this at all because the cushions are specially designed so that the ball won't jump when it bounces back. The cushions are angled so that the point of contact between the ball and the cushion is not exactly half way up the ball (as when it hits a vertical wall), but higher up on the ball's surface. This gives a downwards force.
Bounce the ball under a table so that it comes up and hits the table, and, due to its spin, returns to you by bouncing back out (c.f. Lampard's 2010 World Cup no-goal which hit the crossbar and bounced back and out of the goal due to this effect). Note that it enters without spin, picks up spin in the direction it enters and this then reverses on the underside of the table and remains in this direction.
The ball also returns very close to its entry path, compare this to what a light particle would do. Is this an issue with the particle theory of light? Only if we assume that bouncy balls act like particles, in fact they don't and it's not an issue. We assume light particles are massless and have no physical size which defo isn't true of the ball.
Make sure the book is together with an elastic band and says butter on one side.
Place the book on the table and gradually push it towards the edge, get it to be perfectly balanced then nudge it 1mm further. There are three phases to it falling, no-slip, slip and free-fall.
Think of its angular velocity around the table edge, in no-slip it's increasing. The frictional force from the table is preventing the book slipping, the angle normally reaches 20-30 degrees (pi/9-pi/6 radians) before we enter the next phase.
In the slip phase gravity overcomes friction and the book starts to slide, notice how it remains in contact with the table during this phase. Here the book gains most of it's angular velocity as the forces are becoming less balanced, when the angular velocity is great enough it causes the book to loose contact with the table and we enter the free fall stage.
We now need to consider what happens next, we know via simple mechanics the toast will accelerate at 9.81ms^2 due to gravitational forces. It's also likely to fall upside down if it rotates between 90 and 270 degrees. While we don't know things like the frictional coefficient and air resistance or even the height of the table we find most combinations result in the toast falling butter side down.
One could experiment with this with some high and low friction table covers or from more height to calculate the angular velocity to work out what table heights work. Not sure what effect the weight of the 'toast' would have either (air resistance factors in). Also how far over the edge the toast is will alter the phases slightly.
Lots of ideas for this experiment came from Hugh Hunt's website. He has several high quality gifs of these experiments being done.
We have two Rattlebacks which currently live in here due to them not really fitting anywhere. If you're talking about angular momentum these are a very interesting thing to think about. Spin them in one direction and they act normally, in the opposite direction they stop and sometimes even reverse, the rattle is the way of conseving angular momentum but someone who knows more should improve this.

Closing date nears for comment on Franchise Code changes
29 April 2014 — 1 minute read
The Federal Government is reminding Australian SME business people with an interest in the franchise sector that submissions on the proposed changes to improve the Franchising Code of Conduct close tomorrow.
As previously reported on www.mybusiness.com.au, earlier this month the Federal Government released its Future of Franchising statement, along with an exposure draft bill and regulations which outlined changes to the Code that the government suggested will save the sector $8.6 million in red-tape.
The proposed changes build on a review of the Code carried out by Alan Wein last year. The proposed changes include the introduction of penalties for breaches of the code to protect small business owners.
The government said draft changes balance the needs of franchisors and franchisees and the unique nature of the relationship between the two.
Submissions can be made via this Treasury website until COB Wednesday April 30.

hello - I like the look of the Ideapad Y410P - but I cannot see it on the UK Lenovo site - when will it be avilable and any idea of cost??
I am also very interested in an answer to this. The Y410P looks like a great system, or the Y510P too of course. I think supply of 4th gen Haswell CPUs and/or the GeForce 700m series is probably slowing things up.
If it were available at a decent price over here I would snap it right up!

The Chinese Village in the Alexander Park of Tsarskoye Selo, Russia was Catherine the Great's attempt to follow the 18th-century fashion for the Chinoiserie.

Probably inspired by a similar project in Drottningholm, Catherine ordered Antonio Rinaldi and Charles Cameron to model the village after a contemporary Chinese engraving from her personal collection. The village was to consist of 18 stylized Chinese houses (only ten were completed), dominated by an octagonal domed observatory (never completed at all). After Catherine failed in her ambition to procure a genuine Chinese architect, the Russian ambassador in London was instructed to obtain a replica of William Chambers's Great Pagoda in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew for Tsarskoye Selo, a central structure of the Chinoiserie architecture.

Catherine's death in 1796 led to the works being suspended. It was not until 1818 that Alexander I of Russia asked Vasily Stasov to overhaul the village in order to provide accommodation for his guests. Although much of the original orientalizing decor was lost as a result, the renovated village provided habitation for such eminent visitors as Nikolai Karamzin who worked on his History of the Russian State in one of the houses between 1822 and 1825.

The Chinese Opera Theatre was constructed not far from the village in 1779. It was there that an Italian composer Giovanni Paisiello would present his new operas to the Russian empress. The première of Leo Tolstoy's The Fruits of Enlightenment was also produced there. The theatre was burnt to the ground on 15 September 1941 and has never been rebuilt.

Three remarkable bridges lead to the village. The Dragon Bridge, so named after four zinc figures of winged dragons, and the Large Chinese Bridge, noted for pink granite vases and imitation coral branches, were completed in 1785. The Cross-Shaped Bridge had been constructed by the Neyelov Brothers six years earlier (illustrated, to the right).

The village was renovated under the direction of Ippolit Monighetti in 1859-61. The cottages sustained serious damage during the Nazi occupation but were restored in the 1990s to provide lodgings for VIP guests.

From Lucca & Co. we find 18th Century Stone Cactus Planters from Monaco and now available for purchase in New York.
These are very attractive, but a bit out of my price range. And by a bit, I mean a 10-fold bit. But now you know what to get me for Hanukkah.


He began with music at the age of eight taking accordion lessons, and by the time he was in his teens he was playing accordion and piano. He also plays guitar, bass, and harmonica.
In 1979, he joined The Babys, appearing on their albums Union Jacks and On the Edge. In 1980, he left The Babys to join the rock band Journey, taking Gregg Rolie's place on keyboards. He helped aide Journey's rise to the top of the charts with his first collaborations on the album Escape, composing and playing the piano on songs such as "Don't Stop Believin'", described by Allmusic as "one of the best opening keyboard riffs in rock".
His most notable contribution was as sole author of the classic Journey ballad "Faithfully", a song about life on the road while in the band. He has since appeared on at least 13 other Journey albums and compilations and is still with the group going on tour this summer with the group Def Leppard.
Richard Thomas aka Rikki Lixx started playing guitar at a age 10. He formed his first band in grade school and was a prodigy. His skills landed him a gig with Operator and later with the band Rev Theory. He spent 5 years as the bands lead guitarist. Rev Theory released three records with Thomas on guitar, serving up seven Top 40 U.S. hits.
After suffering from depression and attempting to take his own life several times, Richard found his calling from God and was saved. He now writes music inspired by the Holly Spirit.
Exodus UG hails from the city of Kampala in the country of Uganda. Exodus was raised by a single mother, who died when he was 10 years old.

Building Your Yoga Library, Part 1
I was talking to someone about personal yoga libraries and it got me thinking about what books a relative newcomer might get to build their own reference library. I thought it might be helpful to divide the list up into different categories to make the reading more well-rounded:
1. Background: Books about either the history of yoga in specific and Hinduism or the Indian sub-continent in general.
2. Philosophy: The important philosophical texts that shaped the modern practice of yoga.
3. Asana: Key instructional books about the physical practice of yoga.
4. Breath: Key instructional books about breath work and pranayama.
5. Meditation: Key instructional books about meditation practice.
So here are a selection of introductory books, with a few options here and there, that the beginning yoga student might consider buying.
(If you decide to buy any of these books and want to support the site, use the links to Amazon.com from this article. Thanks!)
Two options here, one that is readily available and one that is, sadly, no longer in print, though easily obtainable through Amazon's network of used book sellers.
The "Very Short Introduction" series from Oxford University Press has entries from any number of fascinating subjects, both spiritual and secular. "Indian Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction" by Sue Hamilton is pocket-sized, affordable and an excellent read, covering all the important points without getting overly involved and technical.
"India has a long, rich, and diverse tradition of philosophical thought, spanning some two and a half millennia and encompassing several major religious traditions. In this intriguing introduction to Indian philosophy, the diversity of Indian thought is emphasized. It is structured around six schools of thought that have received classic status. Sue Hamilton explores how the traditions have attempted to understand the nature of reality in terms of inner or spiritual quest and introduces distinctively Indian concepts, such as karma and rebirth. She also explains how Indian thinkers have understood issues of reality and knowledge--issues that are also an important part of the Western philosophical tradition."
"First There Is a Mountain: A Yoga Romance" by Elizabeth Kadetsky is a memoir of a spiritual quest, an anecdotal history of yoga and an astute overview of the present-day Iyengar Yoga movement.
"While ostensibly a memoir about Kadetsky's growing self-acceptance, which slowly evolves through her yoga practice, this book is actually more a chronicle of the mythic history of yoga and the contradictions of its most worshipped living teacher, the 80-year-old B. K. S. Iyengar. Kadetsky received a Fulbright grant to study creative writing, and her prose can be mesmerizing when she describes the fetid conditions she endures traveling to India to study with Iyengar and his family, or her frustrations trying to perfectly execute yoga asanas, or poses. It's another story, however, when she wades through 14 generations of yogic history: it's challenging to keep Kuvalayananda straight from Krishnamacharya, especially since Indians themselves argue over which stories are legends and which are facts. Iyengar himself is portrayed as a tyrant who berates other teachers for defiling yoga's purity, even though he has done more to break its traditions and promote its Westernization than his rival instructors. Yoga aficionados will likely be fascinated by Kadetsky's spiritual renewal-which helped her overcome both an eating disorder and depression-and how that renewal was achieved through months of brutal practice in India. But other readers may be more surprised by her exposé of what she depicts as the cruelty and hypocrisy pervading the Iyengar empire."
"The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: Commentary on the Raja Yoga Sutras" by Sri Swami Satchidananda is perhaps the most accessible translation and commentary on this essential text. The commentary is straightforward and playful in tone.
"This valuable book provides a complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration and meditation. This new deluxe printing of these timeless teachings is a treasure to be read and referred to again and again by seekers treading the spiritual path. The classic Sutras (thought-threads), at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life."
"Practicing Freedom: The Yoga Sutra of Patañjali" is my own attempt at a rendering of the classic in an easy-to-read format.
"For almost 2000 years, the Yoga Sutra of Patañjali has been the definitive guide to the practice of yoga. Deep in his exposition of yogic philosophy, Patañjali is also clear and forthright in his outline of what it will take to free ourselves completely from the ongoing suffering and loss that we experience on a daily basis. As valid today as it was when first written, this ancient classic outlines nothing less than a complete approach to life itself. This new edition provides a readily accessible English rendition presented side-by-side with the Sanskrit original. Lucid commentary and a study guide clearly outlining the key terms and concepts for easy reference make this an ideal volume for both the student and the general reader. Articulate and insightful, this work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in acheiving a deeper experience of tranformative states of mind through meditation and contemplation."
Once again, two options, one in print, one out of print but still around.
"30 Essential Yoga Poses: For Beginning Students and Their Teachers" by Judith Hanson Lassater is abundantly illustrated in color with ample instruction for each of the poses. INcluded also a several simple and easy to follow practice sequences.
"In 30 Essential Yoga Poses, Judith Lasater draws on her wealth of yoga practice and teaching experience, as well as her training as a physical therapist, to present this comprehensive guide for beginning students and their teachers. The author discusses yoga's ancient eightfold path and its relevance in today's world, and goes to the heart of yoga—the all-important student-teacher relationship. Thirty essential yoga poses (asana), their variations, and breathing practices (pranayama) are also provided, with guidance for the student practicing at home, and points for the classroom teacher. Sequences are presented with photographic charts for easy visual reference, and a 'Mantra for Daily Practice' and glossary of anatomical terms and resources for further study are also included."
For some reason, most of Mira Mehta's books are out of print at the moment, which is a great shame. Her book, "How to Use Yoga: A Step-by-Step Guide to the Iyengar Method of Yoga, for Relaxation, Health and Well-Being" shows how to use props, has great illustrations and a number of sequences, including ones for certain ailments.
"How to Use Yoga has been written by senior teacher Mira Mehta, one of today's leading exponents of yoga in the style of B. K. S. Iyengar. She presents a practical philosophy that unites body, mind, and spirit for health and fulfillment. With over 450 color photographs, this book acts as a guide in achieving a fit and flexible body through the practice of yoga postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama). These practices work on all body systems, stimulating circulation, toning muscles, and improving overall health. Best of all, the author makes this powerful antidote to the stresses of modern life accessible to those who want to practice at home—safely and effectively."
"The Breathing Book: Vitality & Good Health Through Essential Breath Work" by Donna Farhi approaches the breath more from a general perspective rather than specifically as pranayama.
"A groundbreaking approach to improving the quality of your life through the most readily accessible resource: your breath. These safe and easy-to-learn techniques can also be used to treat asthma and ease stress, depression, eating disorders, insomnia, arthritis, chronic pain, and other debilitating conditions."
Formerly titled simply "Meditation," "Passage Meditation: Bringing the Deep Wisdom of the Heart into Daily Life" by Eknath Easwaran is the book that first got me to sit, even before I began to practice asana. Easwaran's writings are simple, practical and non-dogmatic, seamlessly relating a formal seated practice to the way we conduct our everyday life.
"Pioneered by spiritual master Eknath Easwaran, passage meditation consists of memorizing an inspirational spiritual passage and then sending it deep into consciousness through slow, sustained attention. It keeps meditation fresh and varied because readers can select the passages — from one tradition or many — that embody their chosen ideals. Many readers also enjoy the passages for their poetic and intellectual appeal. This form of meditation offers all the richness and depth of traditional wisdom, together with a practical method for bringing that wisdom into daily life. The book situates passage meditation as part of Easwaran's eight-point program that, based on traditional spiritual practices but adjusted for modern lifestyles, shows readers how to stay calm and focused at work and home. This edition includes a new preface of previously unpublished material by Easwaran and an epilogue that explains the story behind the book and invites new readers to join the author on this adventure in the 'world within.'"
Five Essential Yoga Practice Books
I think a lot about writing yoga books. My ambition is to write THE ULTIMATE yoga practice book that is simple yet comprehensive, thorough yet versatile. Of course, such a book can never exist. A book is finite, a snapshot of a summary of knowledge that, in the act of organization, limits the knowledge of the writer. Human experience and expertise is non-linear. The same piece of information can be expressed in a multitude of ways, changing its flavor to suit the context. That ultimate practice book, therefore, can never be written, not by me, not by even the greatest yoga master. There are some pretty great ones out there, however. Here are 5 general texts that I think everyone should have at their disposal.


10.2.3 is here! Download it now at https://developers.arcgis.com/en/ios/!
I noticed what appears to be an undocumented behavioral change in 10.2 . Previously, the touch-responsive area of a drawn feature was the feature's geometry. So, a rectangular polygon symbolized with a solid outline and clear fill would register a touch for any tap within the polygon. In 10.2, the touch-responsive area of a drawn feature is any non-transparent symbolization for the feature. So, the same rectangular polygon symbolized with a solid outline and clear fill will *only* register touches on the edge of the polygon, where the alpha is > 0 . The SDK treats any alpha value that it can discern as greater than 0 as touchable, so touchable clear polygons are accomplished by setting the clear fill to an alpha value like .01 / 1%, which will show as clear on the map but still intercept touches.
One of my current projects is an interior mapping app that provides queryable floor maps by showing transparent polygons on top of a tiled map service. The polygons represent rooms and other interior features the user will want to activate/tap, and the underlying tiled map service provides the scale-appropriate, custom cartography that makes the interior map aesthetic and useful.
I'm noting this because I could not find this behavioral change mentioned in the changlelog or the current documentation and because this impacted the use case I outlined above.
We haven't changed the hit-testing mechanism to ignore transparent fills. I am unable to reproduce the behavior you described.
Could you please start a new thread and provide some code to repro?


Starting semester 1 for a 3rd year Audio and Music Technology student.
I booked the studio straight away and a friend and I cracked on with a cover of Hot Chip's 'How do you do' using some analogue synths. We've got a guy coming down soon to record vocals, he's a really good singer and was on the X Factor so we're really excited.
I'm using Mini Audicle/ChucK to programme music. I'm quite nervous about this one because so far my coding experience is from web design and using PureData. Performing live for a grade will certainly be nerve wracking!
My dissertation is based on the durability of high quality audio. To generalise: younger generations have grown up listening to .mp3 files with heavy compression, a boosted high end and Autotune – heard through iPod earphones. Are these aspects now preferable for this generation over the use of a larger dynamic range, analogue equipment and CDs, cassette tapes, or vinyl? Are people wasting their time and money creating high quality audio for it to fall on ignorant ears? Through a series of listening tests on different age groups, and research into the changes in engineering over the last 50 years, this answer will be deduced.
Two classes a week: one for theory and the other for hands-on practice. As part of the module we also have to find our own weekly work experience… I've just been accepted as the sound designer on a Burlesque show at the ADC…not sure what to expect with that one!
Just finished rebranding Cam FM. This is Cambridge's student radio station of which I am the Head of Production. New jingles, stabs, beds, sound effects…it took forever! I've also started presenting the creatively named 'Jared and Keir show' (Wednesday 5pm‐6pm), and Lunch break (Thursday 12pm). During the Freshers' Fair Cam FM played out to the hall as well as on air and online. I was in the studio presenting and had to play 'that singing game' where you sing along to a song, then the volume is turned down…you keep singing and when the volume comes up you see if you're still in time. Carly Rae Jepson's 'Call Me Maybe'. Not pretty. Later on I went to the fair and interviewed somebody while the presenter in the studio was telling me weird things to slip into conversation through my earpiece.
At the start of summer this year I wangled some exclusive access to studio 5 (the 3rd year-only studio) during non-term time. Normally impossible, but this was for a special occasion. I was working as the recording engineer for a charity podcast for Dr Who online. This is the most exciting audio work I've ever done, the downloads are going to be huge and it's getting played on Radio 4 Extra! The only downside is, I'm also editing it, and it is taking forever!
Such a fun start, bring on the rest of 3rd year!
