Spitzer Space Telescope Legacy
To understand the significance of the Spitzer Space Telescope on the understanding of our solar system, think of what the steam engine meant for the industrial revolution.
A national team of scientists today published in the journal Nature Astronomy two papers that provide an inventory of the major discoveries made possible thanks to Spitzer and offer guidance on where the next generation of explorers should point the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) when it launches in October 2021.
"The Spitzer Space Telescope made many important discoveries in the solar system during its 16 year-long mission, and it is important to capture the highlights of these with useful references for future scientists to use in their research," says Carey M. Lisse, from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, lead author of one paper.
Lisse, a planetary astronomer, put together the team of 27 authors who penned the legacy papers. The authors were selected based on the significant discoveries they made using Spitzer during its 16-year mission. The team includes three University of Central Florida researchers, who offer suggestions for the next space telescope mission.
David Trilling, a planetary scientist and professor at Northern Arizona University, is the lead author on the second paper.
When Spitzer launched in 2003 it contained infrared detectors of unprecedented sensitivity, providing astronomers a never-before-possible look at the universe. Thanks to observations by Spitzer over the years, scientists gained new insights into, for example, the composition of comets, the icy surfaces of cold, distant bodies beyond Neptune, the heat radiation given off by asteroids, the extent of free-floating dust in the inner solar system, and the composition and properties of the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune. Spitzer even managed to discover a new ring of Saturn! The much-delayed JWST, which will likewise study the infrared cosmos, is expected to build on the extensive results provided by Spitzer, including taking the next step in our study of the solar system.
UCF Professor Yan Fernandez, who specializes in comets, said the papers include some of the projects he is most proud off in his career. Fernandez is a co-author on both papers.
"I think these papers demonstrate the return on investment for Spitzer," Fernandez said. "These space telescopes are taxpayer-funded, after all. More philosophically, Spitzer has brought us closer to those big questions about why the solar system and Earth are here in the first place. Spitzer was not only great for the solar system, but it was great for studying exoplanets, great for studying planet formation, and great for studying star formation. All important to understand why our solar system turned out the way it did."
Noemí Pinilla-Alonso said astronomy is based on patience and collaboration. She studies Trans-Neptunian Objects at UCF's Florida Space Institute and contributed to the paper alongside institute post-doctoral scholar Estela Fernández-Valenzuela. Pinilla-Alonso is among a handful of scientists already guaranteed time on JWST once it is place. She is part of the team that will be calibrating the instrument from the ground.
"Answering one question takes the effort of multiple scientists or groups, each of them with a unique set of skills," Pinilla-Alonso says. "My contribution to this work is to provide the basic recipe of which ingredients are needed to build or cook an icy body in the solar system. And this is a key piece of information that is needed to answer questions such as how did the solar system form? How has it evolved to its actual state? How similar or different is our solar system from the long list, more than 3,000, of exoplanetary systems discovered?"
Fernandez-Valenzuela also studies Trans-Neptunian Objects and earlier this year held workshops to help scientists prepare successful proposals to obtain time on the JWST once NASA opens up the process.
"This work has helped us to understand what we could do with Spitzer data and how to use the JWST capabilities to shed light on issues that Spitzer could not answer," Fernández-Valenzuela says.
"Using Spitzer we have been able to detect specific materials that were impossible to detect from ground-based telescopes, due to the atmosphere, or using the Hubble Space Telescope," Fernández-Valenzuela says. "Now with JWST we will be able to obtain information on much fainter objects than is currently possible. I'm eager for that day as it will be a very important milestone for this research area. It will provide much more information on the formation of the outer solar system."
Spitzer was turned off in January 2020, 11 years beyond its prime mission.
"Spitzer was sensitive to infrared radiation, as opposed to visible light," Trilling says. "In many ways, Spitzer provided a view of the universe and of planetary bodies in our solar system that scientists had never seen before. This technological revolution produced new insights into the formation and evolution of our Solar System."

I occasionally have to use the SharePoint .Net Client-Side Object Model (CSOM) API to reach into SharePoint and poke around a little bit. It's all pretty straightforward, but something that I have not found to be straightforward is reliably determining which version of a file is the latest major/published version.
In this context, I'm usually working with a SharePoint Document Library where versioning is enabled with Major and Minor versions. The application is also using a user with administrator access to the site, which means it can view all versions of a document, including minor versions which would not normally be visible to the average end user. Lastly, I'm checking the properties of a ListItem, which may be part of a Document Library (ListItemCollection) through which I'm iterating, or which may have been loaded individually by some property (name, Id, URL, etc.)
Checking Latest Version Is Easy
If the latest version of a file happens to be a published major version, it's easy: ListItem.File.Level will be FileLevel.Published. So always start by checking that property of an item. If it's something other than Published, then you have to dig through the older versions to find the latest major/published version (if one exists).
Checking Older Versions Gets Tricky
To see if an older version of the file is the latest major version, you can iterate through either ListItem.Versions (collection of ListItemVersion) or Item.File.Versions (collection of FileVersion). It's important to note that Item.Versions includes all versions, including the current version, while Item.File.Versions includes all file versions except the current version, which is already accessible through Item.File.
But what properties should you check?
The IsCurrentVersion Fallacy
Most online resources indicate that you can simply check an older version of an item/file to see if FileVersion.IsCurrentVersion == True or ListItemVersion.IsCurrentVersion == True, and if so, this is your latest published major version. This is not the case! I have found that IsCurrentVersion can be True on more than one minor version of a document.
Before I explain that, I should point out that the current version of a document always has IsCurrentVersion==True, even if it's a minor version. This is especially important to keep in mind when you choose to iterate through the versions in Item.Versions, because the latest version (which I assume is not major/published, otherwise you wouldn't be iterating through the versions) will have IsCurrentVersion==True even though it's not published. If iterating through Item.File.Versions, this point is moot because the latest version is not included in that collection.
So, other than it being true on the latest version of a file (expected), and being true on the latest Major version of a file (expected), when else can it be true?
CrazyTalk: When a document is checked out, IsCurrentVersion == True on the second-latest version of the file.
Now we have THREE possible versions in an item's version history where IsCurrentVersion can be true:
Latest version (minor or major) always has IsCurrentVersion==True ← (expected)
Latest major version has IsCurrentVersion==True ← (expected)
2nd latest version has IsCurrentVersion==True ← (WHAT?)
Even if that second-latest version of the file is minor, or a rejected draft, etc., it will always have IsCurrentVersion==True. And there may be more scenarios where that property is unexpectedly true. As a result, I've given up on using it to help me find the latest major/published version of a document.
So What's The Solution Already?
I've switched to using the VersionId property, which is an integer that can tell you a lot about the version you're dealing with. When you're looking at a ListItemVersion (from ListItem.Versions), the property is VersionId. And when you're looking at a FileVersion (from ListItem.File.Versions), the property is Id.
VersionId uses multiples of 512 for every major version and multiples of 1 for every minor version. The first minor version of a new document will have a VersionId of 1. Adding two more minor versions will bring the VersionId up to 3. Publishing the first major version will bring the VersionId up to 512, and adding one more minor version will bring it up to 513. The second major version will be 1024, and the next minor version will be 10125, and so on. This means there can be 511 minor versions of an item between every major version. The item with the highest VersionId that is > 0 and a multiple of 512 is the latest major/published version.
Alternatively, instead of the properties ListItemVersion.VersionId and FileVersion.Id, you could also look at the properties ListItemVersion.VersionLabel or FileVersion.VersionLabel. These are decimal values formatted as <Major>.<Minor>, e.g. 3.12 (Major=3, Minor=12). If the Major version > 0 and the Minor version is 0, it is a major/published version of the file. Finding the highest non-0 Major version where the Minor version is 0 gives you the latest major (published) version of the file.
Because ListItem.Versions returns versions in descending order, starting with the latest version, I prefer to use this (over ListItem.File.Versions). Check if each item's VersionId is > 0 and a multiple of 512 (or VersionLabel has non-0 Major version with 0 Minor version), and the first one you find matching that criteria is the latest major/published version. You can ignore the first result if you've already checked if ListItem.File.Level is FileLevel.Published, because you already know the latest version is not major/published. Alternatively, you could use ListItem.File.Versions, but because it returns versions in ascending order, it's a little less performant; you would have to iterate through all versions to know which is the highest.

Synopsis: In a small Texas town, a mysterious black substance emanating from the remains of a prehistoric human engulfs a young boy and his rescuers. Later, FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are in Dallas to disarm a bomb set to detonate inside a federal facility. Unfortunately the bomb explodes -- leaving four inside dead. Mulder and Scully then receive a tip that the disaster was a government effort to cover-up an alien virus linked to the boy's death.


FUTWIZ Jamie and vDreaMz--Shooter have won their second E-League match in a row to put the Reds into third place on the E-League ladder.
In other matches, Melbourne City edged a nerve-jangling first instalment of the Melbourne Derby as the E-League ladder began to take shape in Round 3.
Both legs of each fixture were played simultaneously to account for a delayed start time, adding a new layer of intrigue to proceedings.
But there was no trepidation for Sydney FC's in-form pair, mimicking their Hyundai A-League counterparts by surging to the top of the table.
Adelaide United moved level on six points with Brisbane Roar after securing a vital pair of 2-1 victories.
Jamie O'Doherty recovered from an early deficit to inflict a 2-1 defeat on James Williams, his first in the competition.
After trading jabs in the lead-up, it was Williams who landed an early blow with a third-minute opener for Roar.
O'Doherty quickly hit back to equalise on 20 minutes and was suddenly ahead on the half-hour.
That lead proved enough as the Adelaide man had his crossbar to thank for keeping out what would have been a late equaliser, securing him a second successive victory.
Zachary May-Burgess made it back-to-back E-League wins with a well-earned 2-1 victory over Roar representative Dino Flocco.
Fresh off a maiden success last week, May-Burgess grabbed the first inside 20 minutes and added a second from the penalty spot just before the break.
Flocco did pull one back in stoppage time, but it was to be nothing more than a consolation.

The Netherlands is to replace its 12 Fuchs armoured vehicles for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) reconnaissance will reach the end of their lifespan in a few years. Netherlands Ministry of Defence announced on 1 May that they will look for the possibility of international cooperation before purchasing. The country is already working with Germany, Canada, Norway, the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden in terms of CBRN research and operational training.
In a relevant statement, the Ministry said the new reconnaissance capability must be able to detect and identify all CBRN-relevant substances, which also applies to radiation. Another requirement is that the detection equipment must be remotely operable to ensure the safety of personnel. The project will run from 2018 to 2022.

Q: C# : Interface without Namespace I generated an interface based off a WSDL definition file with wsdl.exe to use with a project.  The resulting generated .cs file has the expected interface inside it, but the interface file doesn't have a namespace - the interface definition is directly below the using statements.
I've never seen a source code file without an explicitly declared namespace, which leads me to wonder: what are the benefits and drawbacks of not explicitly declaring a namespace?  Is this a common thing to do with generated code?

A: The benefits are, I guess, less time spent typing in a namespace...  You are able to specify the namespace you want as a parameter with wsdl.exe, and you should do so:
wsdl.exe /namespace:foo http://myreference/

The drawback is that without a namespace, you're that much more likely to have naming collisions with your objects.  This problem gets more severe the more consumers there are of your class or interface.  A namespace is definitely a good idea.

A: Usually code-generators have properties to specify namespace for the generated code. Namespaces provide logical grouping of the types, so they of course should be used to avoid ambiguities.

A: Namespaces are there to help you organise you're code and, primarily, to avoid naming collisions.
I would imagine there will be a way to specify the namespace for the generated code?

CLA chairman Ross Murray's visit to Harper Adams
Joe Powell, BSc (Hons) Rural Enterprise and Land Management student, writes about CLA chairman Ross Murray's recent visit to Harper Adams University:
I'd like to thank vice chancellor Dr David Llewellyn for inviting me to lunch with the CLA chairman Ross Murray.
Once again it reassures my confidence in being at Harper, as it is always at the forefront of current affairs throughout the rural scene.
Ross Murray's outlook on Brexit, which he shared in a lecturer after the lunch, was both optimistic and realistic. His views and proposed ideas to move away from direct farm subsidy, and a shift towards an agricultural investment funding model, such as tax reliefs and investment in innovation, technology grants appear feasible.
He proposed the UK's agricultural sector needs to become more integrated; a collaborative approach to farming where support could be provided by the pooling of equity. Looking towards joint venture farming agreements, share farming agreements.
Mr Murray recognised the need to ensure free trade with the EU, in order to ensure economic sustainability of the British Livestock sector. This view was parallel with the main findings of my final year dissertation: 'A view of Brexit from the perspective of UK Livestock Markets'. However Mr Murray could no longer see a future for live export. Contrary to this my research identified that live export was important for UK livestock markets. Therefore, the industry should be looking to protect and promote high welfare standards throughout live export.
Overall Ross Murray's views and ideas were practical and innovative which addressed further issues across the agricultural sector; including a lack of young entrants.
It was interesting to hear his approach to Brexit, which I felt was positive and not pessimistic in nature.

One of the best services that are provided to individuals by the online services is the sale of medicines. This is due to the fact that one is able to get the prescriptions they are looking for in the online pharmacies sites.
There are a lot of advantages that individuals get from the use of the online pharmacies and thus the reason why they are very important in the human daily life. One of the advantages of the online pharmacies is that they are always available to offer the services to individuals. One can log in to the sites and ask what they want and immediately get the medicine that they are looking for this quick response makes them the best place to look for medicines in the times of urgency.
One of the other important advantages of the online pharmacy is that they are able to offer delivery services; this makes it easy for the individuals' to get the medicine they want while still home and thus avoiding a lot of movements as well as wastage of time. The online pharmacy also become important since one is able to get exactly what they are looking for, this is due to the fact that unlike the other pharmacy where one goes to ask if the medicine is available; in the online pharmacy one will be buying what they can see.
There are a lot of factors that one will need to consider so as to get the best online pharmacy this is due to the fact that there are a lot of them and one will need the one they can be able to trust that it will have quality products. One of the first important considerations to make is the legalization of the online pharmacy to offer the drugs. This is due to the fact that the sites are run by professionals who are able to provide the individuals with quality professional advice on drugs. Learn more from canadawidepharmacy.com.
A good online pharmacy is the one which is able to give information on the medicine that one is buying such as the side effects, the prescriptions as well as who is to take. This is due tom the fact that there are side effects that might be severe to specific individuals due to the other conditions that they have. One is therefore advised to offer information on the current medication they are in as well as the conditions they have.


I have a 2008 BMW 328i with the 3.0L. I have Diagnosed the problem which is the Crankcase Vent valve is bad. The problem I am having though is that I don't know where this part is located. I ordered the part from BMW and all they sent was a hose. When I look online it is more than just a hose. Some people say that the part I need to replace is behind the intake manifold and others say it is built into the valve cover. The reason I know that the crank case vent valve is bad is because when the car is running it is sucking air from somewhere under the hood and when I loosen the Oil cap there is a strong vacuum on the cap but once it is open the noise goes away and the car runs fine. Any help is appreciated.
I have repaired many of these on earlier models. This one should be the same.
There is a whole series of hoses and a oil separator that make up this system and you have to replace all of them. This is a common problem on that engine and it causes vacuum leaks and lean codes in the computer.
They are all located under the intake manifold and are very difficult to reach and replace. You can only get these parts from the dealer.

Vandals spray paint messages, break windows at Anderson Co. church
Thread: Vandals spray paint messages, break windows at Anderson Co. church

ANDERSON CO., SC (WSPA) - Deputies are looking for the person or persons responsible for vandalizing a church in Anderson County.
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office says someone broke windows and spray painted messages on the side of Midway Presbyterian Church on Midway Road.
According to deputies, the windows in the church were over 125 years old.
The words "SUBMIT TO GOD THRU ISLAM" and "MUHAMMED IS HIS PROPHET" were spray pained in black onto the siding of the church.
Elders of the church tell 7News they did not let the act of vandals disturb their services and lunch on Sunday.
"It was very disturbing because we feel like this was an individual act and we don't hold any religious group responsible for it," said Bob Harrell. "We think it most likely was some misguided young people. However, we do take it very seriously and we'll do everything we can to assist law enforcement."
On Tuesday, Anderson Area Crime Stoppers said they are offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the vandalism. The church has also offered a matching rewards, bring the total reward amount to $1,000.

Theres a large church in the subdivision where I live right by the entrance. I could literally do this and the police would be right in thinking misguided young people were responsible.

You probably have better understnding of America-First vs Globalism intricacies, just a quick retort to argue for the sake of arguing.
Trump can't be expected to tweet about every local crime in America and there is no way to know if he even knew about the Black churches, the media did an excellent job of making everyone aware of the Notre Dame fire on the other hand and it is much more significant.

In a different but more serious series of church attacks: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/...-arrested.html
White Deputy's Son Arrested for Black Church Arsons in Louisiana
Three black churches were intentionally set ablaze in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, over the course of ten days in late March and early April. Police on Wednesday arrested a suspect: Holden Matthews, a 21-year-old white man and the son of a local sheriff's deputy. Whether racism motivated the arsons remains to be determined, but the possibility has gripped black residents in a state of fear, according to reports.
The attacks marked the latest in a string of such incidents across the Southern United States going back decades. Perhaps the most infamous was the Ku Klux Klan bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963. Four young girls were killed. Dylann Roof's murder of nine black parishioners at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston in South Carolina in 2015 was similarly bookended by an arson of the same church, which was co-founded by slave-revolt leader Denmark Vesey, by vengeful whites in 1822. And the week after Roof's attack saw several more black churches burned down, including at least three — in Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina — that were ruled arsons but did not result in arrests.
The Louisiana fires allegedly set by Matthews consumed the St. Mary Baptist Church in Port Barre on March 26, and the Greater Union and Mount Pleasant Baptist Churches, both in Opelousas, on April 2 and April 4 respectively. Black churches have been targeted for racist violence throughout history because they were seen as sites where black community was built and resistance to white supremacy was fomented. "Across the diaspora, black spiritual and religious spaces — whether a clearing in the woods or a stone and mortar church — have nurtured rebellion, and that's why they continue to be under siege," J.T. Roane, an assistant professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Cincinnati who studies religion and black communities, said in 2015.
Speculation surrounding Matthews's motives has ranged from the logical — racist violence — to the hysterical, as with CNN's report that he may have been influenced by "black metal" music. Whatever the impetus, the 21-year-old is charged with three counts of arson of a religious building, each of which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Nobody was physically harmed in the fires. And despite the emotional toll, parishioners wasted no time returning to worship. "[They] didn't destroy the church, they destroyed the building," Reverend Gerald Touissant of Mount Pleasant Baptist told local KATC.com. According to the outlet, members of the two Opelousas congregations worshipped with other local churches on the first Sunday after their chapels burned down. "It steals something from you, it robs you but then … right now is the time to find something to pick them up," added Touissant.
Black Christian faith has never been cowed by such attacks, but that has not diminished their threat. HuffPost in 2015 estimated that, since 1956, more than 90 black American churches have been targeted for bombings, arsons, or vandalism meant to intimidate their congregants and broader communities. Nor were these assaults limited to the Jim Crow era, when black political organizing — often based in Southern black churches — threatened for the first time in decades to upend the racist status quo. Dozens occurred in the 1990s. At least ten have occurred since 2004. Echoes of Roof's attack in 2015 reverberated into 2018, when Gregory Bush, who is charged with shooting and killing two black seniors at a Louisville, Kentucky supermarket, began his attack by attempting to break into a black church nearby. The doors were locked, fortunately for the congregants. A witness saw Bush yanking at them aggressively, trying to enter. He soon moved on and killed elsewhere. The security measures may have worked in this instance, but as has been demonstrated, safety for black churches remains as precarious as it is for black people.
The quality seems to have dropped significantly since I came here, I guess you get what you pay for.

Man pleads guilty to placing bombs, other devices in Anderson Co.
ANDERSON, SC (WSPA) - An Anderson County man has pleaded guilty to using weapons of mass destruction in federal court, Monday.
27-year-old Wesley Dallas Ayers admitted to making three bombs and placing them in various parts of Anderson County between January 24 and February 24.
Ayers was arrested at his home on Travis Road on March 3 and was indicted on several federal charges in April.
One of those devices exploded on January 30, injuring a man at the corner of Travis Road and Martin Road.
The other two bombs were found by law enforcement and rendered safe.
Ayers also placed three hoax devices which resembled explosives but did not contain any blasting agent. Some of those devices included threatening messages.
According to court documents, one of the devices included typed pages saying the January 30th incident was only the start and that the community would continue to receive these gifts until the Islamic State flag would fly high. It also includes phrases like "War has been declared" and "Tuesday was just a practice round."
Ayers was arrested after a month-long investigation which included the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, the FBI, and the ATF, among others.
Ayers also pleaded guilty to possession and discharge of a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime and use of an explosive device during the commission of a felony.
Ayers faces a mandatory sentence of at least 20 years in federal prison up to life in prison in addition to a fine of $250,000 and up to 3 years of court-ordered supervision.

St. John's vs Providence: preview, how to watch, keys to the game
St. John's looks to split the season series with Providence with a win at home.
By JT Rausch Jan 31, 2022, 9:39pm EST
Share All sharing options for: St. John's vs Providence: preview, how to watch, keys to the game
Stew Milne
Life as a Big East team continues for the Red Storm tomorrow as they take on another tough opponent at home to start February. St. John's will host the Providence Friars, who currently sit atop the Big East standings and have an AP national ranking of #15.
Providence has gotten out to a great start to the season, and recently have earned a couple of close wins to ranked Xavier and Marquette teams. They beat the Red Storm by 10 at home when the two teams faced off in early January, and are looking to continue their five game winning streak with a road win.
The matchup with the Friars will be the first of three games this week for the Johnnies, who are coming off an 11-point loss to Villanova where they were down for most of the game and Julian Champagnie registered his second straight game in single figures.
Odds: St. John's -2
Last matchup: Providence took down St. John's 83-73 with an explosive second half, where they scored 48 points to recover from their three-point halftime deficit.
Recapping the first Providence game
Providence beat the Johnnies 83-73 in the first matchup on January 8.
The Red Storm led 38-35 at halftime, but collapsed defensively in the second half, where they gave up 48 points. The Johnnies struggled with fouls this game, sending the Friars to the line for 30 free throw attempts, 26 of which were made.
Individually in the last matchup, the Johnnies saw a great performance out of Dylan Addae-Wusu, who had 20 points, seven rebounds and five steals. Aaron Wheeler was another player who had a good game, scoring 15 points and grabbing four rebounds — his first of six games where he scored in double digits. Julian Champagnie had a disappointing offensive game, scoring 11 points on 5 for 19 from the floor and 0 for 8 from deep.
For the Friars in the last matchup, it was Nate Watson who led the charge in the win, scoring 22 points on 9 for 11 from the field and grabbing 11 boards. Noah Horchler also had a great game on the glass with 13 rebounds in addition to the eight points he scored. Jared Bynum contributed off the bench for Providence, scoring 18 points in 32 minutes.
Providence Since the First Matchup
For the full scouting report on the Friars, check out our first preview.
Providence has won all four games they have played since taking down St. John's, beating Georgetown and Butler at home, Xavier on the road, and most recently Marquette at home. They have been efficient offensively in these games, with a field goal percentage of 45.6%, a three point percentage of 38.2%, and a free throw percentage of 77.5%. They have shown their ability to succeed in close games, as the four wins have been decided by margins of eight points, seven points, three points, and two points.
Individually, no player has been the face of Providence's past four wins, as they have relied on different guys to have good games in each matchup. They have stuck with their short rotation, only playing seven or eight guys or each game.
St. John's Since the First Matchup
The Red Storm have gone 2-4 since their loss to Providence, beating Georgetown and splitting two games with Seton Hall, in addition to losses to UConn, Creighton, and Seton Hall. The Johnnies looked really good in their wins against Georgetown, competed against UConn and Seton Hall in their loss, and looked beatable in their losses to Creighton and Villanova.
Individually, the Red Storm have had to deal with a lot of struggle from their best player Julian Champagnie, who has not produced well offensively in his last three games. After scoring in double figures, in all of his first 15 games, he has come up short three games in a row, with a field goal percentage of 25% and a three point percentage of 14.3%.
The Johnnies have won the games where their defensive energy was as good as it could be, as their wins contained a lot of forced turnovers and bad shots taken by their opponents. Their losses have seen them giving up open looks from deep and opportunities inside, in addition to some bad fouls being committed.
Keys to the Game
Bring defensive energy. When the Johnnies are able to give their opponent a true "40 minutes of hell" defensively, they are able to win games. A big defensive effort without a lot of fouls committed would give St. John's a big leg up against Providence.
Contain the inside, especially Nate Watson. If the Red Storm want to beat the Friars, they need a much better game inside than their last. Nate Watson is at the focus of this, as the Johnnies cannot allow him to dominate with inside scoring and rebounds.
Get good looks and take advantage of them. St. John's has lost games because of their inability to get good looks and inability to capitalize on the looks they get. A Johnnies win would require them to run a good offense that grants them open outside shots and looks at the rim.
Providence extends their winning streak and beats St. John's in a close 76-72 win. (The Rumble score prediction from the previous game was right on the nose, for what it's worth.)

St. John's vs Villanova: Preview, Prediction, Keys to the Game St. John's welcomes a vulnerable Villanova team to Madison Square Garden. What could go wrong?

The Progressive Myth of Creativity
Creativity has been a big theme in progressive education for more than 75 years: We are constantly lectured that kids need music, art, theater, etc. This theme is now metastasizing into an oppressive dogma. But, why?
Ken Robinson, the guru of creativity, is famous for saying "We are educating people out of their creative capacities." The premise seems to be: if kids do arty things, they will end up being artists. Empirically untrue. Conversely, Robinson says that if children do something rigorous and academic, they will be prevented from being creative. Dangerously untrue.
Rearranging knowledge in new ways is arguably the very essence of creativity It follows that the systematic acquisition of knowledge is one of the best things you can do if you want to be creative.
Furthermore, there are habits of mind or consciousness that can be developed only through practice and discipline. It's always been understood that students learn by mastering basic skills and then by completing more and more difficult projects, not empty make-believe projects, but real projects such as speaking French, understanding American History, or figuring out how computers work.
Professor Robert Weisberg wrote a book called "Creativity, Genius and other Myths" where he stated: "There is evidence that deep immersion is required in a discipline before you produce anything of great novelty....There is this concept that genius has leaps of insight way beyond everybody else. If you look at the background of these people, there is much more of a progression. They don't make leaps -- they build in small pieces." In short, Weisberg says that drills do not stifle creativity. They engender it.
It's fascinating to observe how many famous writers started off as doctors and lawyers. What could be less creative than a premed and medical curriculum? What could be more stifling than studying to be a lawyer?
John Grisham, Erle Stanley Gardner, Scott Turow, Wallace Stevens, Henry Fielding, Louis Auchincloss, David Baldacci worked as lawyers. There is nobody more creative than Wallace Stevens.
Zane Grey, Anton Chekhov, Robert Ripley, Michael Creighton, Somerset Maugham, Arthur Conan Doyle, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Robin Cook, and William Carlos Williams were doctors.
Question for education professors: Anthony Trollope was a postal inspector. He wrote three hours each morning before going off to work. He published 47 novels. How would you propose to make Trollope more creative?
Let's stipulate that creativity is a good thing and should be encouraged. So are sports a good thing; but nobody proposes that we transform schools into gymnasiums. The problem is Ken Robinson's overstatement "Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status." The next sound you hear will be children struggling to read, and traditional textbooks being tossed in the trash.
The pattern for the last century is that our Education Establishment is always looking for ways to justify dismissal of the traditional curriculum. One day they'll assert straight out that academics are a waste of time. The next day they'll argue slyly that we need to devote more time to nonacademic goals, such as creativity, critical thinking, or dressing for success.
The key to understanding all this confusion is to note that "progressive" educators are socialist educators. They want children to end up more or less equal (a result which they call social justice). So they pretend to care about creativity. But what they really care about is making sure that little time is left for children to learn who George Washington was.
Ken Robinson made a famous speech about creativity several years ago. He railed against the so-called "factory method of education." One video has been viewed 11 million times. There are only 3 million teachers in the US. Apparently, our Education Establishment loves the message in this speech and forces it on everyone. "Factory method" is code for children going to class on time, sitting at desks, and memorizing stuff. "Factory method" is what most education has been for thousands of years, long before there was a factory. Such schools are orderly and designed to achieve educational progress. That seems to be what progressive educators can't stand.
Robin Eubanks, an attorney who wrote the new book "Credentialed to Destroy: How and Why Education Became a Weapon," sees the road to serfdom everywhere in our educational system. In a recent blog she wrote: "Only an electronic color billboard in Times Square could be more explicit. It is indeed slam dunk time in our effort to show that the education reforms known as Common Core or 21st Century Skills or social and emotional learning are actually a means of gaining much broader transformations."
That would be the same "fundamental transformation" that Barack Obama bragged of achieving. That would be the drive to impose socialism on this country.
Does that strike you as something new? It's not. John Dewey launched this offensive a century ago. Our Education Establishment is defined by this offensive. A word to the wise: whatever these people recommend is probably designed to do the exact opposite of what they claim. More creativity? No, you'll just be an ignorant serf.
Robin Eubanks wants a different future: "Unfettered by government seeking to restrict what any American can know or do, we can prosper again."
Finally, can creativity even be taught? John Saxon who created Saxon Math and other highly successful curricula, famously said that creativity cannot be taught. All you can do is create a context where creativity can express itself.
But I've often wondered, if creativity could be taught, how do you do it? Speaking as a writer and painter, I don't think you teach ordinary students to be creative by having them do so-called creative things. What then? What would fit in with elementary school subjects and work for everyone? I start thinking about mazes and optical illusions, puzzles and riddles. I start thinking about checkers, bingo, Chinese checkers, and card games such as as Go Fish and War. And let's not forget simple machines, models, electric circuits, and tools. Especially let's not forget Aesop's fables and maxims of all kinds. (Why is it true that a stitch in time saves nine??) Kids do most of these things for fun. They stimulate the mind to be more flexible and opportunistic. You see problems, you try to solve them. So it would be easy to build an enjoyable "creativity curriculum" from toys and games, a curriculum that would encourage creativity and logic, and as well arithmetic and reading.

Are pests annoying you? Are you being driven crazy by these critters? You can really suffer a drop in your quality of living when pests are a problem. Pests also cause sanitary and health issues. Use this article to help you tackle your problem. These tips will get you started on the road to a pest-free life.
Do you have an issue where fruit flies keep appearing? Your drain might have problems. Source which drain is of particular concern for the fruit flies and place a piece of plastic wrap over it to see if they appear there. If you do have this issue, boiling water should do the trick. This will reduce the frequency of fruit flies in your home.
If you're dealing with the spider known as the brown recluse, sticky traps can catch them. These poisonous spiders hide in deep recesses that are difficult to reach with chemicals. They do come out at night to search for food. Put the traps behind furniture to get them where they live.
Use an outside perimeter spray to prevent indoor insects. You will need to spray near the windows and doors, any porches, steps, and along the foundation. While you are spraying, keep your eye out for cracks and crevices where pests can enter. Use caulk or another type of filler to seal the open areas.
Make sure that your thoroughly inspect your home for standing water that might not be obvious. Pests can literally sense standing water. You should also check your plumbing for leaks. Pests need water, so cutting off their supply will make your home less inviting.
Leaks in the water system must be repaired. That's because water attracts pests. Just a tiny drip can be detected by pests far away. Don't bring on a pest invasion by your inaction. With a bit of effort, you can avoid attracting rodents in the first place.
If you have a chronic rat or mice problem, pay special care when planting trees around your home. Keep them a good distance away from your house. Rodents can easily find a way into your house by climbing these trees hanging over the roof. Be sure your fruit trees are about 15 feet from the house.
It is wonderful to have light outside but it might bring bugs. Bugs and pests do not particularly care for the colors orange, pink and yellow, so using these colored bulbs can help deter certain pests.
Keep an eye on your plumbing for pest control. Be sure that no drains or sinks are clogged, in and outside your house. There is delicious organic matter in the pipes that bugs love. After you clear them, check regularly for clogs.
There are solutions for those dealing with pests of all types. The staff at your nearby home improvement center are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to pest control. These people will be aware of which pesticides will be effective on your specific pests.
Try to learn everything possible about the pests that you are trying to kill. Learn the life cycle and the feeding habits of this pest. When you know what you're dealing with, you are better able to form a plan.
Exterior lighting can also attract pests. Do not put the light right near the entrance. Additionally, install orange- or yellow-colored lights, as insects are not as attracted to these two colors.
When using pesticides, be certain to heed instructions on the packaging. While you might think using more product is a good idea, that's not the case. Using too much can not only be ineffective when combating pests, it can be dangerous to pets or children that come into contact with the pesticide.
Millions are spent on pest control each year. Nonetheless, there are a lot of pest problems you can address yourself. Consult this article whenever pests invade your home. If you tackle your problem early, you'll avoid having to call a costly exterminator. Be diligent with your pest control routines, and you will be rewarded with a cleaner living environment.

Most players learn the two-handed backhand today, but the one-handed backhand will become more important as you get older.
Why? Because you're going to lose speed, and you'll have a longer reach with a one-handed backhand. There's no better model for a one-handed backhand than Ken Rosewall's smooth, easily repeated technique. He hit it almost exclusively with backspin (I prefer that term to "slice," which means sidespin).
Another thing to learn from the Rosewall backhand: Though it was his best shot, he didn't hit a lot of winners with it. He used it as a set-up shot. That's a great way to think about your best stroke. Instead of going for winners, use it to make other shots easier.

Texas: Black Shoots and Kills White Deputy During Traffic Stop
Imagine conducting a traffic stop on a colored gentleman without putting on full body armor first.
Smdh.
CBS19:
Funeral services have been announced for a Panola County deputy who was killed Tuesday morning in the line of duty.
Visitation for Deputy Chris Dickerson is scheduled for Friday, January 3, from 5:30 p.m. – 8 p.m., at the Carthage Civic Center. The funeral is slated for Saturday, January 4, at 2 p.m., also at the Carthage Civic Center.
Just before 2 a.m., on New Year's Eve, Deputy Dickerson, who was identified to CBS19 by the Panola County Sheriff's Office, conducted a traffic stop on Farm-to-Market Road 10, near Farm-to-Market Road 2260.
Chris Dickerson.
Preliminary information released by the PCSO indicates Deputy Dickerson stopped an SUV on the northbound side of FM 10 when the driver suddenly exited the vehicle and fired a weapon numerous times at the deputy. The deputy returned fire and the suspect drove off.
Area residents who heard the gunshots, including a volunteer firefighter, found Deputy Dickerson and called for help. The deputy was taken to an area hospital where he later died.
The suspect, identified as 47-year-old Gregory Newson, was captured by Shreveport police and will be extradited back to Texas. He is charged with capital murder which would make him eligible for the death penalty, if convicted.
RSHV News 1 in Shreveport reports Newson led authorities on a high-speed chase for an hour before crashing on Highway 3132, near the West 70th Street exit in Shreveport. More than 30 units were working the scene of the crash Tuesday morning.

CorMedix Completes Sale of $5.4 Million of NOL Tax Benefits
CorMedix Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of infectious and inflammatory disease, today announced that it has completed the previously announced sale of $5.4 million of NOL tax benefits to two unrelated, profitable New Jersey corporations through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority's New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer program for State Fiscal Year 2018. As a result, the Company has received approximately $5.1 million in cash from the sale of these NOL tax benefits.
"We are pleased to have closed on this transaction," said Khoso Baluch, CorMedix CEO. "The funding bolsters our cash runway as we continue to move the Neutrolin® development program forward."
The New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer (NOL) program enables qualified, unprofitable NJ-based technology or biotechnology companies with fewer than 225 U.S. employees (including parent company and all subsidiaries) to sell a percentage of net operating losses and research and development (R&D) tax credits to unrelated profitable corporations. NOLs and R&D tax credits may be sold for at least 80 percent of their value, up to a maximum lifetime benefit of $15 million per business. This allows qualifying technology and biotechnology companies with NOLs to turn their tax losses and credits into cash proceeds to fund growth and operations, including research and development or other allowable expenditures.


Underage Possession or Consumption of Alcohol is a violation of a City Ordinance and not of state law. Therefore, it is not reported to the Georgia Crime Information Center. However, this does not mean that it would not have to be disclosed on applications for certain jobs, etc.
For first time offenders who are under 18 at the time of the offense the sentence is a fine (plus all the taxes) and 40 hours of community service.
For first time offenders who are 18 or over at the time of the offense the sentence is a fine (plus all the taxes). If the person requests a deferred adjudication then 40 hours of community service will be added.

Connie Buffalo
Connie Buffalo learned through her experience as the President and CEO of Intelagard, a chemical and biological warfare decontamination company that there would never be enough technology to stem the flow of terrorism. The only answer resided within human consciousness itself.
Five years ago, she joined with Jean Houston to form The Renaissance Project, International, a company that not only highlights Jean's work on the tremendous capacities that each human possesses, but takes perception, empowerment, problem solving and positive action to an inspiring, effective new octave.
This was the natural next step in Buffalo's career. Her love of marketing began with CBS television network, as Director of Promotion and Advertising for Regional Markets where she produced thousands of commercials, as well as radio and television programs. A fascination with the future emerged as General Manager of Videodetics, where she learned engineering and manufactured advance interactive video systems for progressive international companies. Her respect for the human mind came as Vice-President of The Interactive Technologies Group, designing state-of-the-art interactive video training programs for the largest companies in America.
Buffalo's observation the psychology of national and international companies evolved from her position of Vice-President of Mind Extension University where she produced national and international training programs aimed at optimizing awareness, competence and performance, and as an international consultant on telecommunication.
Her partnership with Jean Houston is a confluence of tradition, intention and experience. Buffalo's Chippewa heritage created a canvas upon which all life is seamlessly woven in sacred patterns. The advancement of dignity, respect and a deep relationship with all of life, not just the human species, drives her commitment to share with and encourage people whenever possible.
Buffalo's experience of technology powering virtual intelligence and societies, fuels the intention to provide information and opportunities to those predisposed to altruism, as well as to mainstream audiences where significant, lasting change is optimally achieved.
The "renaissance" of awareness is not just for man to advance into greater humanism for the good of mankind, but for men and women to join the symphony of creation and know at last that we are all related.

Israeli Minister of Intelligence: Stop eating chocolate! Makes you soft on terrorists!
Yisrael Katz' comments claiming Belgium's penchant for chocolate makes it weak is ridiculous.
By Bernie Pacyniak
Stop eating chocolate! Makes you soft on terrorists! At least that's what Israel's Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy, Yisrael Katz, told Israeli radio reports the Washington Post. And here's the quote:
"'If in Belgium, they continue to eat chocolate and enjoy the good life with their liberalism and democracy, and do not understand that some of the Muslims there are planning terror, they will never be able to fight against them,' Israel's Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy, Yisrael Katz, told Israel Radio on Wednesday morning."
I thought I had seen everything in my day, especially with the recent presidential campaign going on here, but this really goes over the top. Katz, you're joking, right?
Naturally, I can see equating chocolate with the good life — perfectly acceptable.
As for lumping liberalism and democracy together, I think that's a bit selective. I mean conservatism also plays a role in a functioning democracy, as do plenty of other –isms.
But let's get our facts straight first. According to a Euromonitor International graphic, Belgium ranks 13th as a nation regarding per capita chocolate consumption, 5.2 kilos. Switzerland leads the group with 9.0 kilos, followed by Germany, 7.9; then Austria, 7.8 and so on. As it so happens, Israelis consume about 3 kilos of chocolate per person.
Moreover, if you read Rick Noacks and Ruth Eglash's article in its entirety, there's actually an informed discussion about security differences in Israel and Europe. One of the key elements gleaned from the piece is the lack of cooperation between national security forces in Europe, a clink in the armor that — if corrected — certainly could help prevent future acts of terrorism.
But attributing chocolate consumption to a soft and decadent lifestyle, one that allows lax security? Puh-lease! I'm sure Katz is a very intelligent man, but he obviously didn't have a piece of chocolate before he spoke with Israeli Radio.
If so, he would have been more cognitive and would not have misspoke. You see, where I come from, recent medical research suggests that chocolate is good for the heart and the head. And wasn't there a report trying to link chocolate consumption with the amount of Nobel Prize winners in a country?
OK, so that was a stretch. Hey, I'm sure Katz can provide examples of how Israeli security has minimized acts of terrorism in the country. But then chocolate consumption has also increased in Israel. Is there a correlation?
If you've been monitoring the recent Belgian disaster, I'm sure you've heard various opinions about what could have and should have been done to prevent it. But saying chocolate was somehow responsible is really ridiculous.
I do think chocolate, however, can play a role here; it can provide comfort.
And one last point to everyone in a position of power: Please think twice before you make pronouncements. We all could use some wisdom and sanity these days, not to mention good chocolate.

Pastoral Agreement between the Coptic Orthodox and Greek Orthodox Patriarchates of Alexandria (2001)
Revision as of 09:56, November 3, 2005 by Arbible (talk | contribs) (One baptism)
Since the Holy Synods of both the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and all Africa have already accepted the outcome of the official dialogue on Christology between the Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches, including the two official agreements: the first on Christology signed in June 1989 in Egypt and the second also on Christology and on the lifting of anathemas and restoration of full communion signed in Geneva 1990, in which it is stated that "In the light of our agreed statement on Christology..., we have now clearly understood that both families have always loyally maintained the same authentic Orthodox Christological faith, and the unbroken continuity of Apostolic tradition". It was agreed to have mutual recognition of the sacrament of Baptism, based on what St Paul wrote, "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Eph 4:5)
But since up until now we are waiting for the responses of the Holy Synods of some other churches in both families, the restoration of full communion is not yet reached between the two sides of the bi-lateral dialogue. And due to the pastoral consequences and implications caued by mixed Christian marriages between the members of the two Patriarchates of Alexandria, having the majority of their people living in the same countries. Those marriages being difficult to perform in both Churches at the same time or in concelebration. The result is that mant sensitivities are created between the two families of the partners of such marriage. Those sensitivities which can extend even after the marriage and may affect the relation between the two communities of churches.
For those mentioned reasons, the Holy Synods of both Patriarchates have agreed to accept the sacrament of marriage which is conducted in either Church with the condition that it is conducted for two partners not belonging to the same Patriarchate of the other Church from their origin. Both the Bride and the Groom should carry a valid certificate from his/her own Patriarchate that he/she has a permit of marriage and indicating the details of his/her marriage status up to date.
Each of the two Patriarchates shall also accept to perform all of its other sacraments to that new family of Mixed Christian Marriage.
It is agreed that the Patriarchate which shall perform the marriage shall be responsible for any marriage problems that may happen concerning this certain marriage, taking into consideration the unified marriage laws signed by the heads of Churches in Egypt in the year 1999.
Each Patriarchate shall preserve its right not to give its sacraments to any persons whom she does not find fulfilling its canons according to the Apostolic Tradition.

Q: EJB injection in servlet fails I am trying to inject an EJB stateless bean in to a servlet, but the servlet throws a NullPointerExcetion. I am using JBOSS to deploy the EJB and servlet.
I am relatively new to the Java world, so I am posting the steps I followed.
Interface
package MavenEJB.Bidding`
import javax.ejb.Local;

@Local
public interface PlaceBid {
 public String AddBid();
}

Bean
package MavenEJB.Bidding;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless(name="PlaceBid")
public class PlaceBidBean implements PlaceBid {
 public PlaceBidBean(){}

 /**
  * Include logic to add the bid
  */

 public String AddBid(){
  return "Placed bid using EJB";
 }
}

I created a jar file of the bean using maven and I copied the jar file to "deploy" directory of JBOSS. I am able to see the bean deployed in the JMX console.
Global JNDI Namespace in JMX console
+- PlaceBid (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
  |   +- local (proxy: $Proxy63 implements interface MavenEJB.Bidding.PlaceBid,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy)

My servlet code
public class PlaceBidServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @EJB
    private PlaceBid placeBid;

 protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
  response.setContentType("text/html");

  PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
     out.println("");
     out.println("<TITLE>Hello</TITLE>");
     out.println("");
  out.println("Output from EJB" +placeBid.AddBid());

     //out.println("Output from EJB" );
     out.println("");
 }

....
}

When I point to the URL of my servlet, I get NullPointerException. When I comment the bean and print something else, it prints fine. So I am sure the problem is with the EJB Dependency Injection in the servlet.
I tried many solutions suggested else where, nothing really worked, someone please help me.

A: After a lot of hours I found the problem, I am posting it so someone else can benefit.
The problem is, I was using JBOSS 4.2.3 and as this post http://community.jboss.org/message/410211 suggests jboss 4.2.x does not support EJB injection in servlets.
I used Jboss 5.1, also if both the servlet and EJB are not in a single ear package, one must use mappedName to the EJB Injection. I had the servlets in a WAR and the EJB in a separate Jar. Check this post for more details http://community.jboss.org/message/8196#8196


The Party of European Socialists has today condemned the savage murder of Yorsi Al-Masri in Egypt this weekend. Mr. Al-Masri, who was the Alexandria region press officer for the Egyptian Social Democrats (a PES Observer Party), was brutal set upon by a mob armed with sticks.
PES Secretary General Achim Post stated that, "the death of Yorsi Al-Masri is a tragic outcome of a system that has lost credibility and legitimacy. It is time for a radical shift in attitude and in direction from the Egyptian authorities, starting with a clearly independent criminal process to bring the attackers to justice. There is a serious risk of escalation of the political situation. It is time for the President to understand that his responsibility is to the Egyptian people and to society, rather than to simply try to hold on to the levers of power ".
Mr. Post sent the condolences of PES Member Parties to the family of Mr. Al-Masri, through the leader of ESDP, Mohamed Abou El-Ghar.
The Leader and the members Of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party mourn their colleague Yosri Al--‐Masri, the Secretary of Information in Alexandria, who passed away after being brutally attacked by armed individuals from the Muslim brotherhood.
The Party strongly condemns the ruling regime's violent practices, thuggery, and murder as means to keep its hold on power and holds the President and the Muslim brotherhood responsible for this despicable crime.
We demand the Public prosecutor to immediately investigate this crime, arrest the perpetrators, and put them on trial.
The Leader and the members of the Party would like to offer their deep condolences to his family and friends and pledge to continue the struggle he had lost his life to.

Whenever Trump Sours On Dan 'Mr. Rogers' Coats, Pence Brings Him Back From Brink

US Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats speaks during a press briefing at the White House in Washington, DC, on August 2, 2018. - The US government on Thursday accused Russia of carrying out a "pervasive" campaign to influence public opinion and elections, in a public warning just months before crucial legislative elections. "We continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign from Russia to try and weaken and divide the United States," said Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence.

Whenever President Donald Trump goes cold on DNI Dan Coats — who Trump privately sneers at as "Mister Rogers" due to what he perceives as an unwillingness to implement directives — it's Vice President Mike Pence's job to smooth both men's feathers.
According to a Tuesday NBC News report, the breaking point came in December when Trump suddenly decided to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, a decision that pushed former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to quit.
Pence reportedly convinced Coats not to follow suit until at least the summer. He said that two top defense officials leaving at the same time would be too tumultuous for the administration.
The relationship between Trump and Coats fractured early, when Coats was unable to hide his annoyance at Trump's insistence that he was wiretapped by the Obama administration. Apparently, Coats' inability to control his facial expressions has repeatedly landed him in hot water with the thin-skinned President.
