Please take the following information into consideration to make your surgery as easy as possible.
Clothing and Personal Items
On the morning of your surgery, you should shower or bathe. Leave all money and valuables at home. Do not wear jewelry (body jewelry included) or makeup to the hospital. If you wear contact lenses, bring your container because you will be asked to remove them. If you have a wedding band, it can remain on your finger. A nurse will secure it with tape.
Wear loose fitting clothing to the hospital so that you can get your clothes over a bandage when you go home. For example, eye surgery patients should not wear pull-over shirts and knee surgery patients should not wear tight trousers or jeans. You may also bring your robe and slippers.
Please do wear your hearing aid and glasses. Dentures may be worn. You may or may not be asked to remove these personal items.
Ambulatory Surgery
If you have not been contacted by the Hospital, please call 607-798-5930 from 1:00 PM - 8:30 PM, 1-2 working days prior to your procedure or surgery. In your private room, you will be asked to put on a patient gown. A nurse will take your vital signs, complete your medical surgery assessment form, review discharge instructions and complete consent forms. Before the operation, your nurse will ask you to go to the bathroom and to remove your contact lenses, dentures, etc.
Patient Registration
All inpatients or pediatric patients should report to patient registration where you will be asked to sign your patient chart and wear a name bracelet for identification. A permit for hospital care must be signed by a parent or legal guardian for minors. If you have any questions regarding this, call the patient registration office at 607-798-5773.
Operative Permit
You will be asked to sign several consents: Consent to Treat, Release of Insurance Information, Operative Permit, Anesthesia Consent, Health Assessment Form, and other applicable forms.
Surgical Triage Area
If your surgery is scheduled to be done in an operating room, you may be taken to the surgical triage area. The length of time you stay in this area may vary, but someone will always be near should you need assistance or want to ask a question.
The Operating Room
You will have an intravenous infusion (IV) started and members of the operating room team will be monitoring your heart and blood pressure throughout your operation. IV's provide a way to give fluids and/or medications directly into a vein. They also help speed up your recovery period.
Waiting Room for Family
A waiting room near the operating room is available for family members. A staff member is on duty during the day between the hours of 6:30 AM and 4:00 PM. We will be better able to keep your family informed if they let the receptionist know of their whereabouts. After 4:00 PM and on weekends, a nurse in the operating room will keep your family informed of your progress.
For more information about Outpatient Surgery, please call 607-798-5321.

Another zombie comic sketch to fill the empty void. I already can't wait to get back to regular updates for the webcomic.
Not that I mind doing these sketches, that's what "sketch comic Friday" is for, but I miss my zombie friends and the horrible pain and mental trauma I put them through. (They're like children that way… Aah mental trauma… Good times.)
Anyway, Still packing the disturbing amount of crap I've collected over the years. These zombies are no help at all either. They can't seam to manage the packing tape.
I can't blame them, I can't use that stuff either. At least this zombie's kinda hot.

Amazingly hot, wow, I have so many lockerroom fantasies and that video is like a wet dream. Guy reminds me of Ryan Gosling.

The bridge will also offer a convenient entrance to the Buckhead MARTA Station. Once completed, pedestrians will be able to cross between Stratford Road to Tower Place Drive over Georgia 400. The project is slated for completion in November 2013.
MARTA will begin its preliminary work on the project on Tuesday, January 17, 2012, which will require single-tracking at Buckhead Station each weekday between 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Weekend single-tracking will be scheduled as needed.
This project is the result of an agreement that was reached between the partners, prior to the construction of Georgia 400, to one day restore connectivity between the east and west sides of Buckhead.
The project includes:
• A new entrance on the north end of the existing Buckhead Station
• Pedestrian bridge over north and southbound lanes of GA 400
• An elevator/stair tower, sidewalk, and bridge connection on the east side of GA 400
• Sidewalk access to elevated walkway from Tower Place to connect to the bridge on the west side of GA 400

Press Release
Governor Signs Warrant
May 21, 2008
(Anchorage, AK) Today, Governor Sarah Palin signed a warrant of extradition, to return Morgan Hite to Colorado to stand trial for the death of her infant son.
On May 20, 2008, Alaska received a request from Bill Ritter, Jr., Governor of Colorado, for the extradition of Ms. Hite. Ms. Hite is charged, in that state, with Murder in the First Degree. The charge is that on or about February 2008, "Morgan Hite unlawfully, feloniously, and knowingly caused the death of Baby Boy Hite, a child who had not yet attained twelve years of age, and the defendant was in a position of trust with respect to the victim".
Hite is also charged with one count of Child Abuse alleging that she, "unlawfully, feloniously, knowingly, or recklessly, caused an injury to, or permitted to be unreasonably placed in a situation that posed a threat of injury to, the life or health of a child, namely: Baby Boy Hite, that resulted in the death of the child".
Extradition is the process by which a person who is accused of, or convicted of, a crime in another state is returned to that state for trial, for sentencing, for probation or parole revocation, or to complete service of a sentence. Extradition is a right guaranteed to each state by the United States Constitution.
The next stage in the process of returning Ms. Hite to Colorado is a hearing to be set in the Palmer court where Ms. Hite will be served with Governor Palin's warrant. The court will provide Ms. Hite with a period of time, usually 5 days, to determine if the paperwork is in order. After that time Colorado authorities will come to Alaska, take custody of Ms. Hite and return her to Colorado.
The charges in the Colorado case are accusations and Ms. Hite is presumed innocent of them until proven guilty.
For further information you may contact Richard Svobodny at (907) 465-3428.

CHICAGO – A young Lebanese immigrant awaiting sentencing for putting a backpack he thought held a bomb near Chicago's Wrigley Field has said in a letter to his judge he drank "all day, every day" for months before the attempted attack.
Sami Samir Hassoun's lawyers publicly released the seven-page letter in a filing this week. In it, he also apologizes and says he's worked hard at being a better person, including by doing yoga in jail.
Prosecutors want federal Judge Robert Gettleman to sentence Hassoun to 30 years in prison on weapons charges he pleaded guilty to. Sentencing is April 5 in Chicago.

NEW YORK (AP) — DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points, Kyle Lowry added 22, and the Toronto Nets beat the Brooklyn Nets 87-79 on Sunday night to even their Eastern Conference first-round series at two games apiece.
Amir Johnson had 17 points for the Raptors, who started fast, gave up all of a 17-point lead, then shut the Nets down over the final 5 minutes to snap a 13-game road losing streak in the playoffs that went back 13 years.
Game 5 is Wednesday night in Toronto, with the series now guaranteed a return to Brooklyn on Friday for Game 6.
Paul Pierce scored 22 points for the Nets, who were 3 for 17 in the fourth quarter and didn't have a field goal after Pierce's basket with 6:13 left gave them a 77-73 lead.
Kevin Garnett had 10 points for the Nets, but Joe Johnson and Deron Williams were mostly non-factors in getting outplayed by Toronto's backcourt. Johnson had only seven points on seven shots after averaging 23.7 points in the first three games, and Williams was 4 of 12 for his 10.
Pierce nearly carried the Nets without them, but Toronto put it together down the stretch to pull it out.
Garnett gave the Nets their last lead with two free throws with 4:58 left, but DeRozan made two free throws before Greivis Vasquez made a 3-pointer for an 83-79 advantage. The Nets had a series of offensive fouls along with their missed shots, and Lowry made a basket with 1:13 to go before closing it out with a pair of free throws.
The point guard bounced back nicely after the Nets banged him around in their Game 3 victory. Toronto nearly came from 15 down in the final 5 minutes to win that one, and carried that momentum into a quick start Sunday.
The Raptors scored a franchise playoff-record 35 points in the first quarter, then turned to their defense down the stretch for their first road victory in the postseason since winning at Philadelphia in Game 1 of the 2001 Eastern Conference semifinals.
Now they won't need to win on the road again, with home-court advantage back in their favor.

I needed to replace the original carpet floormats in my 2008 Ford Focus. It has a tan interior. When I received them, I was concerned that the color was much darker than the color of the carpet. But it actually looks pretty good; a nice contrast. Fit absolutely perfectly. The back mats go far under the driver & passenger seats, much better than the factory mats that were really a joke. They have not budged since I installed them a week ago. Very happy with this purchase.

TEITELBAUM, Vanesa. The mutualism in the world of work (Tucumán, Argentina, 1877-1914). Varia hist. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.46, pp.665-688. ISSN 0104-8775. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-87752011000200014.
The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct and analyze some practices developed by the mutual aid societies of workers formed in Tucumán during the last third of the nineteenth century and especially since late 1880. It begins with a brief description about the characteristics of mutual institutions, taking up some of the remarks made by social history and the labor movement. Subsequently, we examine the goals and activities pursued by the major associations of mutual aid workers who were formed in the city of San Miguel de Tucuman and the interior of the province during the years under study. The study also includes a review of the conflicts that arose around central issues of associative life, such as fund management, field hitherto unexplored by historians on the subject for the time and place chosen for this research.
Keywords : mutual associations; workers; conflicts.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It's very unlikely that the second native Puerto Rican to ever be selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB amateur draft was at this weekend's 2013 Perfect Game World Showcase, like the first one was a year ago.
The second coming of Carlos Correa may not have shown his face at Terry Park over the last two days, but In terms of sheer numbers, the turnout of talented Puerto Ricans was unprecedented.
Nearly 60 young Puerto Ricans were on hand for the PG World Showcase, by far the most in the 16 year history of the long-running event. Just more than 30 others attended the 2013 PG National Underclass Showcase-Session 3 and the PG World Uncommitted Showcase, two events that ran simultaneously with the World Showcase, bringing the total number near 90. Well more than 400 prospects were at the three events combined.
"We were laughing with one of the (PG) guys here, and we were saying that we ought to rename it to the World Latin Showcase," Edwin Rodriguez, the club director and manager for Team Mizuno of Puerto Rico, said from Terry Park Sunday morning. "We have a lot of (prospects) from Puerto Rico here this year, which I think is great. They get the opportunity to get seen by the scouts -- all 30 (MLB) organizations are here -- and it gives them the opportunity to play against some of the (top) players from the U.S."
At least 50 scouts were crowded in behind the chain-link backstop at George Brett Field Saturday night to watch 2013 right-hander Joe Alexander Jimenez pitch for the World's PG 3-Dark Green team. That squad also included top-ranked Puerto Ricans like shortstop Jan Alexis Hernandez, catcher Carlos Diaz, shortstop Roy Morales Rivera, and shortstop/outfielder Johneshwy Fargas.
Jimenez, who has committed to Florida International University, is a 6-foot-3, 220-pound fire-baller whose fastball sat at 88-92 mph and touched 93 during his outing. A PG scout noted that "he has a big strong build and works downhill well."
"This has been a very good experience for me and it's an excellent opportunity, not only for me but for all of the Puerto Ricans that are here this weekend," Jimenez said on Sunday with Rodriguez translating his Spanish responses. "This is something great for all of them. But I always want to come in and show scouts that I've been improving and I do the job that I need to be doing."
Jimenez is Puerto Rico's No. 3-ranked prospect behind Hernandez and Diaz and had already impressed scouts at seven previous PG events. He also continues to impress Rodriguez.
"Joe has the physical body and the pitcher's type of body, and he's going to get stronger and he's going to throw harder, and he can spin it pretty good," Rodriguez said. "I think Joe is the top arm in Puerto Rico currently and is one of the top arms to come out of Puerto Rico in the last few years."
The premier Puerto Rican prospect here this week that the scouts have had ample opportunity to study in showcase events over the last 12 months was Hernandez, the island's No. 1-ranked prospect in the class of 2013 (No. 18 nationally). He has replaced Correa as Puerto Rico's most recent hot prospect and is widely projected to be a first-round pick in June's MLB First-Year Player Draft in June.
"Carlos was my teammate and he's a good friend," Hernandez said Sunday morning without the aid of an interpreter, while also deflecting any comparisons to the young man the Houston Astros made the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft. "He tells me (everyday), Jan keep working, keep working hard. That's it -- just keep working hard."
Correa turned in an unprecedented performance at the 2012 World Showcase. Hernandez was just looking to enjoy yet another opportunity to showcase his skills.
"This is a great experience for all my (3-Dark Green) teammates and all the guys here," he said. "It's an opportunity for the scouts to see us, so it's a good experience. We're all here to play in this prestigious (showcase) and, you know, we all have ability and we're all top-ranked, so it's a good experience, yes."
Hernandez started a busy 2012 showcase schedule right here at this event last January. He followed that appearance with others at the Perfect Game National Showcase in Minneapolis in mid-June; the East Coast Professional Showcase in Syracuse, N.Y., in early August; the Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings in San Diego in mid-August; and the inaugural Caribbean Showcase in Carolina, P.R., in mid-November.
He enjoyed everything about being selected to play in the All-American Classic, an all-star event for the country's best incoming high school seniors. During the Awards Banquet the weekend of the Classic, he received the coveted PG Nick Adenhart Award that recognizes a players' character.
"The All-American Classic was the best experience of my life," Hernandez said. "The (Rady) Children's Hospital, the Nick Adenhart (Award); playing in the ballpark of the (San Diego) Padres. It was awesome."
Rodriguez believes the success young players like Hernandez this year, Correa last year and many others in previous years have experienced will continue to draw young Puerto Ricans to Perfect Game events.
He said there are still people on the island that are skeptical of PG and the benefits its showcases and tournaments can provide the young prospects. The way he counters that skepticism is by naming just a handful of the many former big-league players that make sure their sons are participating in PG events.
"(In 2012) you had Roger Clemens' son, you had Craig Biggio's son, you had Manny Ramirez's son," Rodriguez points out. "Saying that a Perfect Game event is not necessary, then why would those guys need to have their kids in the Perfect Game events?"
There is no indication the influx of Puerto Rican talent to PG events is on the decline, and the inaugural PG Caribbean Showcase should only continue to enhance interest.
"In the past years you've been seeing more good players coming out of Puerto Rico and it's starting to grow again," Rodriguez said. "In three or four years you're going to see a crop of young Puerto Rican players in the big leagues -- a combination of players right out of Puerto Rico, and Puerto Ricans who came out of (the United States); guys like Francisco Lindor and Javier Baez that are Puerto Ricans who moved to the (U.S. to complete high school)."
The young talent will keep coming through the pipeline, and dozens of those players were here this weekend at one of the three PG showcases.
"They're going to follow the Carlos Correa's and the Jan Hernandez's," Rodriguez said. "They've seen the success those players have had, and Jan this year did so many showcases ... it shows that you've got to be able to get out there and showcase your abilities and play in these events. Jan just did the same thing Carlos Correa was doing, and the young guys will do the same thing with Jan."
Jan Hernandez doesn't expect to hear this name called with the first pick of the 2013 draft, but he expects to hear his name at some point.
"I'm excited for that day," he said. "I keep working hard every day and, you know, I'll wait until June."
Joe Alexander Jimenez is also patiently waiting for June and the start of a professional baseball career he has long dreamed of.
"I'm always thinking about the draft," he said. "That's something that's always on my mind and it's something that I'm working hard for, and I hope that I will be drafted."

Spain v France
Euro 2012
Donbass Arena, Donetsk
June 23 2012; 19:45
Team News
Vicente del Bosque faces a tough decision in choosing between Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres to lead the line for Spain tonight, with Torres likely to get the nod once more.
For France, Phillippe Mexes is suspended and will be replaced by Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny.
Samir Nasri and Franck Ribery are expected to be fit having picked up knocks in their final group D game against Sweden, while Yohan Cabaye is also expected to start.
Del Bosque wary of Benzema threat
Spain manager Vicente del Bosque has warned his side not to underestimate the threat posed by France in their Euro 2012 Quarter Final showdown tonight, and picked out Karim Benzema as their opponent's most potent weapon.
Benzema has endured a frustrating tournament so far despite some impressive performances, with the Real Madrid man failing to find the back of the net despite having 17 shots on goal, a Euro 2012 record.
Spain are favourites for tonight's game in Donetsk having topped Group C, while France go into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat against Sweden, which prompted a dressing room bust-up between members of Laurent Blanc's squad.
Del Bosque's men are looking to become the first team ever to win three consecutive international tournaments, but he insists Spain cannot go into the game underestimating France and Benzema's capabilities.
"Benzema is dangerous as he had a great season the Real Madrid. He is very reliable in front of goal, but he is also very involved in the game as he wins back possession a lot," he told France Football.
"Then there is Cabaye, who is, in my opinion, an important man in the French system. He starts his team's attacks, but he is also clever in front of goal, as we saw in the game against Ukraine."
Much has been made of the fact that Spain have never triumphed over France in a competitive fixture this week, and Del Bosque is keen to rectify that statistic.
"The facts speak for themselves, we are world and European champions and this motivates us, but it also motivates our adversaries," he commented.
"The fact that France have always been superior to us in official matches is an added motivation for us. We will see if we will be able to defy the past."

I was the best mathematician in my university math classes. Who knew?
Genius ahead of its time.
I know I was hard at work involving the subtraction of beer from a case, addition to empty bottles, dividing time between drinking and the necessary room and multiplying the number of pink elephants surrounding me.
Heady times.
I got in a serious car accident and spent the second half of the year recovering in the residence I'd already paid for without going to class. Then, for a lark, I got totally hammered and wrote the Calculus exam with my mates.
Aced the exam, passed Calculus despite having not gone to class at all or done a single assignment.
I still find it hilarious, but my mom was not particularly proud of me.
Math should not be taught as a linear process, but as a spiral. Visit the topics at first, so the student can understand why something is important when it is presented rigorously.
Now to learn what the question is...
I suppose you can reduce arithmetic and geometry (both quadrivia) to logic (trivia), but the liberal arts are seven in number for a very good numerological reason.
the liberal arts are seven in number for a very good numerological reason
I thought the number of the counting shall be three? Well, at least since five is right out, you can't just get rid of arithmetic and geometry, you either have to get rid of something else as well, or keep one of those.
The trivia: logic, grammar, rhetoric
The quadrivia: music, astronomy, geometry, arithmetic.
Those are the seven liberal arts. Note that under this scheme, astronomy and music both included a substantial amount of mathematics.
All too often I've encountered math teachers who failed to properly explain advanced mathematical concepts because to them it was obvious and trivial.
Gee, thanks.
I have sometimes thought that the best teacher might be another student who has just a moment ago barely (but still correctly) grasped the concept.
I'm not convinced. What you really need, in order to teach a difficult subject, is understanding of why it is difficult to understand for an initiate, and I suppose somebody who has just learned may be much closer to that understanding, but on the other hand, you also need a very thorough understanding of what the subject is all about, and you probably only get that with experience. I think what would really make a great teacher is somebody who has long, practical experience of what the subject is used for
An alternative explanation is those math teachers didn't actually understand the concept, and therefore were unable to properly explain it.
Wow. He must write a lot of computer documentation.
One assumes that he then defined cardinality as "the quality that uniquely defines a cardinal number."
This is how definitions work. Definitions would get absurdly long and difficult to read if we defined everything in terms of first principles. I could concisely describe a solvable group as a group having a subnormal serious whose factor groups are all abelian. If I have to go back and explain group and subnormal series and factor groups and abelian it ballloons to a page in length, and those are all concepts that are useful elsewhere is well.
Presumably that author wasn't just defining things cyclically and
That comment brought back a bad memory from a calc 2 course I took in college. The professor was ancient. On the first day of class he refered to a silent film actress who never was able to make it in the talkies.
One day he was going over a problem on the chalkboard. A student asked how the professor got from one line to the next. The professor threw up both hands and exclaimed that he'd never be able to cover the course material if he had to go over every trivial detail. He then angrilly filled up the

There are two types of theorems: trivial and unproven.

Does that include proofs that are too big to fit in the margin?
The two are basically the same [slashdot.org], or so the physiologists tell us.
He then provides some advice for people learning college level math like calculus or linear algebra: 'I suggest you don't worry too much about verifying every claim and doing every exercise. If it takes you more than 5 or 10 minutes to verify a "trivial" claim in the text, then you can accept it and move on.
While I agree that one shouldn't waste time questioning every statement you encounter, there's a very ancient and useful tradition in math pedagogy that emphasizes these sorts of things. See, for example, gradually building up geometrical theorems from a few axioms, a la Euclid.
Often, the process of working out complex proofs for yourself is crucial to understanding why things work, not to mention developing and practicing logic skills that are essential in math and elsewhere.
I'm not saying one should waste time trying every exercise or redoing every proof, but some of my greatest insights into the inner workings on math have come from exercises that took me a couple hours to work out or textbook passages I went over a number of times and really dug into how the details worked. If I skipped everything I couldn't do in 5-10 minutes, I doubt I'd ever have developed the more advanced skills and intuitions that would be necessary to see why some results are "trivial."
I came here to post a similar sentiment. I think it is a terrible idea to just blow ahead every time an assertion is too confusing. Getting the big picture and developing mathematical intuition is great but it doesn't mean that you'll actually be able to do math. For that, practice.
I actually advise the opposite, to bang your head against a problem over and over until it breaks (the problem, that is). I don't think that we as a society or a species or whatever deal with confusion very well, and tend to take it as some sort of personal deficiency. We've also done a great deal of dumbing math down, so that when someone tries to make the jump from, say, AP calculus to real analysis, minds get blown and souls shattered. It's probably not that mathematicians enjoy crushing students, but rather that higher levels of math are just plain confusing for most people. They're based on abstractions that are pretty far removed from the human experience. None of this is to say that people who are good at math are better somehow, but it usually means that they put in a lot of time. I suspect that a lot of people who are math-phobic would get over it if you locked them in a room with nothing but math books to keep them busy.
One that is clear, however, is that most mathematicians have no fscking clue what the word "obvious" means. There are some brilliant, dead authors that I would love to punch in the face.
I actually advise the opposite, to bang your head against a problem over and over until it breaks (the problem, that is).
But most people actually give up first, and quit studying. People "turning themselves off" to the study of math is a very common problem. Most people can only take so much frustration.

I think that they know exactly what it means, but that you are confusing it with the non-technical meaning. In maths it generally means "I have managed to work this out, and I suspect that you will be able to (eventually) without my help. If you cannot, that I presume that you are an idiot and that you do not deserve my hel
If you keep bashing your head against a problem, a time will come when you're not accomplishing anything. Try another one. Come back to the first when you're through with that one. Don't just give up on things, but be flexible in your approach.
The article says explicitly that there are times when digging your heels in is necessary (for the more important stuff). But a lot of math textbooks will leave oodles of exercises to the reader. If each one takes three hours you'll never get anywhere. I think his point is not to take the "do everything" attitude to the extreme, which he observes people doing.
The article says explicitly that there are times when digging your heels in is necessary (for the more important stuff).
Yes, you're right. I was mostly responding to the quotation in the summary. But I still have a couple problems with this: (1) how exactly is a beginner to know what is "important"? And (2) the most insightful things that have happened to me were doing random exercises that interested me, rather than necessarily something "important."
I'd say his attitude is right that you needn't do every exercise or proof (and I actually already said this in my first post), but if you are interested and motivated to so
I don't think the author is suggesting that details don't matter. Rather, he is suggesting that on a first pass through material, it is often better to focus on learning the material on a conceptual level (where is this material taking me? What does this theorem really tell me?) rather than focusing on the mechanical details of the derivations and proofs. To a certain extent, this is already built into the curriculum: freshman and sophomore mathematics coursework tends to focus on concepts and computatio

I'm a physics graduate student, and while I'm not quite in the same boat as the mathematicians, I'm familiar with the problem.

I think that's a really useful ability because you don't demand easily digestible answers for everything. Such answers rarely exist, although many people seek them from short articles and soundbites.

If this is how things stand, then the Philosophy of Mathematics to date is a catastrophic failure. When there is no better methodology than "fumble around in the dark a bit until suddenly you're convinced" then the project of attempting to guide students in understanding maths has done no work at all.
Is this the fault of the philosophers or the mathematicians? I'm inclined to think that the philosophers have at least failed in their advocacy, if not in their actual subject.
Some similar effects occur with engineering and programming. For instance:
An engineer is ALWAYS working on something that's broken. That's because, when he gets it fixed, he moves on to the next thing that's broken. (It's like the thing you're searching for always being in the last place you look. It's not Murphy's law, It's becaue, when you find it, you stop looking.)
A good programmer doesn't come to a problem with all he needs to solve it. Instead he comes to it with a big toolbox, SOME domain knowl
A good programmer might know the exact solution immediately upon seeing the problem. It could have been something they've solved many times before. There are times when I'm quite bored implementing solutions, because they are the same (general) solutions I've implemented many times before.
Programming is really *nothing* like math, in my opinion. Programming is nearly always *pragmatic* in nature. Many mathematicians study things with no obvious practical application. Programming is answering the questi

That is a nice trite little phrase, but when one thinks about if for a minute you can see situations where it is not always true. Sometimes the thing was in the first place you looked for it, but you failed to notice it or overlooked it for some reason. I find this happens to me often when hunting a geocache. I have developed good instincts to where they may be hidden and look in the most likely places. When the cases come up where I still haven't found it and have to keep looking over the object or area at

The Nevada softball team got a career-best performance from Megan Dortch as the sophomore tossed a complete-game two-hitter to beat LIU Brooklyn 3-0 on Saturday at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic.
The Wolf Pack lost a heartbreaker in game two as the Pack lost a 2-0 lead in the seventh to Utah as the Utes scored five times – four unearned – and Nevada fell 5-2 to move to 6-7 on the year. Nevada will conclude the weekend on Sunday when it takes on UCLA and UCSB.
Dortch struck out 12 and was dominant in the game one victory. She gave up two singles in the first three batters of the Blackbirds lineup in the first inning and did not allow a hit after that. The sophomore walked two and getting the complete-game shutout, her first at Nevada.
The game was scoreless going into the fourth inning. With Sara Parsons on first, Ashley Butera ripped a double to the gap in left, scoring Parsons and giving Nevada a 1-0 lead. Nevada wasn't done, however, as Lauren Lastrapes singled to put runners on the corners. Then Jasmine Jenkins knocked a single to right for her second RBI is as many days. And Megan Fincher made it 3-0 with a single.
That was all Dortch needed. She struck out the side in the third and then struck out a pair in each of the final three innings to improve to 2-3 on the year.
For 13 innings on Saturday, Nevada played light out. Unfortunately, things fell apart in the final inning against Utah. Bailey Brewer was working on a one-hitter going into the seventh inning when Utah got a lead-off double to open things up. A costly error put two on and then a wild pitch moved both runners into scoring position with nobody out.
After Nevada retired a batter, Utah knocked three straight singles to tie the game and load the bases with one out. Brewer got one out and then Kelsi Hoopiana drilled a bases-clearing double to put the Utes up 5-3.
Nevada broke the scoreless tie against Utah in the fourth. Parsons and Butera started things off with back-to-back singles. After Lastrapes was retired, Jasmine Jenkins battled Mariah Ramirez to a 13-pitch at-bat before flying out. With two away, Fincher delivered the big blow with a double off the fence in center, a shot that missed being a home run by inches.

Every couple wants to do something memorable that will impress their wedding guests and have them talking for years to come. One way to accomplish this is to break the basic wedding traditions and do something unexpected! Here's an idea, why not toss the wedding cake and try a fun alternative? This will not only surprise your guests, but give you yet another way to show off your style and flair as a couple. All you'll need is a stand to make the alternative idea look as elegant as a cake would. To get your creative juices flowing, we've created a list of four wedding cake alternative ideas below:
Doughnuts are a common craving for people who love sweets. All the more reason to have a doughnut stand as your dessert of choice! There are many ways to up the elegance of this option such as matching the color scheme or flavors to the overall theme of the wedding or allowing the guests to choose from an array of gourmet flavors.
If you don't want to stray too far away from the traditional cake you may want to try the cake pop options. They say everything tastes better on a stick and the same goes for cake! This is not only cute and quirky but every guest has a sweet, individually decorated treat to call their own.
Add a French touch to your wedding by swapping out your wedding cake with a crepe cake. This would be amazing for a French inspired wedding or a destination wedding in France. This option can even be made to look very similar to a traditional wedding cake if desired.
A pie table or stand can be a great alternative, providing a more affordable, family style dessert for your guests. You can match pies to your wedding theme in many ways. For example, if you're having a southern wedding a pecan pie would be lovely. Pies are also a nice touch if you've decided on a rustic theme.
Let your imagination run wild and make your wedding as memorable as can be! Macaroons, candy bars, cheesecakes or another option may be a better fit for you and your significant other. What are some of your ideas?

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Texas A&M University officials are urging people on campus to resume normal activities, but remain cautious after they issued a campus-wide alert after an armed man reported on campus.
The university website reports a "Code Maroon" lockdown alert was issued just before 5 p.m. Thursday after the man was reported. The suspect is described as a mid-to-late 40s white male, about 5 feet 5 inches tall with a skinny build, with light-colored hair and wearing a lime-green short-sleeved button-up shirt and jeans.
The man was reportedly carrying a wood-handled handgun and was last seen heading toward the Sanders Corps Center.

A million appointments, errands on his behalf, meals, haven't had a weekend to myself (or even a full day for that matter) in months, plus I'm trying to balance this with a new job and getting some of my own administrative needs attended to. I have also been waking up too early and never feel fully rested after a night's sleep. So last night for some reason I got a REALLY good sleep, and posted something about it on Facebook. Immediately a parent (who doesn't know anything about my situation other than I don't have children) chimed in, "You obviously don't have children."Now I really don't hold this against him as he didn't mean any harm and was perhaps just expressing envy that anyone can get a good night's sleep ever, but honestly, I've heard that one before, and it's getting old. The other one is when you mention being tired, and someone always chimes in that you can't possibly know what tired is until you've had children. (By the way, my friend who is balancing children with several very elderly people plus a relative in a mental institution - I don't know how she does it - states that her children are a breeze compared to the demands of the old people). Also, it's a good thing I'm not upset about not having children. A great many women my age are, and that kind of comment would be even more tiresome in that case. Aren't non-parents allowed to be tired? And would it have been rude to reply with something like, "No, but just wait until your parents get old and dependent on you." ?
I had been lucky enough, before having children, not to have any situation where I couldn't get enough rest, and a first baby who seemed to need about 15 minutes of sleep a day. (It definitely seemed like that at the time). I thought I was going completely mad with lack of sleep, and I completely understand now why sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture!So I have occasionally made a comment that I had never understood tiredness until I had children, but I hope no-one has taken that to be a slight on them.

My big boy 270 gyuto is a Hattori KF special Wa gyuto. I'm pretty sure it's VG10. Am I right? If so, I think most may claim it is an overpriced knife. I probably paid around $400 for it 2 years ago. However, I do like it. It's seen a lot of use and I've only had to put a "new" edge on it twice (starting with a 1k stone) over the time I've had it. It's not terribly difficult to sharpen but it does take some time.
What are the limitations with grits on a VG10? I've only gone up to a 4k so far-with excellent results. I just got an 8k stone, and wonder if it is a waste of my time to use it on this steel.
Anybody else on the forum have this knife? How do you sharpen?

It looks like several companies are learning what happens when you mess with the internet - and they're learning it the hard way. Several major companies have been hit by the collective powers of Anonymous after 4chan launched several distributed denial-of-service attacks. What many have been predicting for a long time now has finally happened: an actual war between the powers that be on one side, and the internet on the other. Update: PayPal has admitted their WikiLeaks snub came after pressure from the US government, and Datacell, which takes care of payments to Wikileaks, is threatening to sue MasterCard over Wikileaks' account suspension. Update II: Visa.com is down due to the attack. Update III: PayPal has caved under the pressure, and will release the funds in the WikiLeaks account.

RE[4]: Completely disagree
by boldingd on Fri 10th Dec 2010 23:11 UTC in reply to "RE[3]: Completely disagree"
I substantially agree with you. I haven't been on OSNews for five years: I've been here for between two and three (I was a reader before I was a forum member), and even in that short time, I've noticed a significant change in tone. And I've commented on it.
Sadly, I think the people who have a problem with that change in tone are vastly outnumbered by the people who either don't care about it, or actively prefer it.

Why do men need to pay an upgrade free for unlimited messaging and photo uploads and women get it free?
Simple. Traditionally adult personals websites always have far more male members than female. What is the point of a sex site with millions of members but the majority are male? To deliver the best possible experience we upgrade all women for free so we have the best possible mix of members. Men are required to pay a small upgraded fee which we believe is very reasonable for the quality of service provided, great mix or members and not to mention.. all the sex you will be getting.

Picture: Carrie Underwood 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards - 2012 Arrivals held at the Staples Center Los Angeles, California - 12.02.12
Country star Carrie Underwood has revamped her diet plan and become a vegan.
The Before He Cheats hitmaker adopted a vegetarian lifestyle several years ago after discovering the long-term health benefits of cutting out meat, and the former American Idol star reveals she's now avoiding animal products all together in a bid to boost her overall well-being.
She tells Self magazine, "I've been a vegetarian for seven years, but after seeing a friend who looked amazing and had recently gone vegan, I thought, 'What's holding me back?' Now I'm 95 per cent vegan."
However, Underwood insists she'd consider adding dairy back into her eating regime if she could run her own farm.
She adds, "My veganism is based on a concern about where my food is coming from. In my perfect world, I'd have webcams wherever food is processed so I'd know how clean it is.
"I'll never eat meat again, because I look and feel better without it, but if I could raise my own cows and chickens and produce my own eggs and cheese, it would be awesome! The food would taste better, because the animals would be happy!"

Story highlights
- The presence of Russian troops in Ukraine's Crimea has ratcheted up tensions
- U.S. President Barack Obama appears to have limited options to pressure Russia
- A military response isn't considered to be a realistic possibility
- The crisis is roiling global markets, pushing up the price of oil and hurting the ruble
The upheaval in Ukraine has spiraled into an increasingly tense dispute between Russia and the West.
The United States and many European countries are demanding that Moscow scale back its deployment of troops in Ukraine's southern region of Crimea. But Russian President Vladimir Putin so far appears unfazed by the pressure.
By Russia's account, its soldiers are protecting the human rights of worried, vulnerable Russian speakers. But in the U.S. view, Russia is violating international law.
Caught in the middle is Ukraine's shaky new government.
With armed men are locked in an uneasy standoff in Crimea, the consequences could be deadly. And their effects may ripple out far beyond Ukraine's corner of Eastern Europe.
What is Russia trying to achieve?
Some commentators have suggested that Putin has overplayed his hand by sending troops into Crimea, creating a situation that will hurt both Ukraine and Russia. But others say it's a calculated move based on the assessment that the West will fail to come up with a strong, unified response.
"Putin's broader plan is to recreate some kind of 'Soviet Union lite,' a ring of countries under Moscow's control, with the goal of boosting Russia's geopolitical standing," Ulrich Speck, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Europe think tank in Brussels, writes in an opinion article for CNN.
If Putin gets what he wants in Ukraine, Speck says it augurs badly for other neighboring countries with Russian populations. He points to Moscow's "de facto-annexation" of the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia after the war between Russia and Georgia in 2008.
"Beyond Ukraine, this conflict is also a defining moment for future Russian foreign policy," Speck says. "If Moscow succeeds in Ukraine, it will come to the conclusion that it can act like an empire."
What options are available to the U.S. and the West?
Washington is preparing potential sanctions that could freeze the overseas assets of Russian individuals and companies and impose travel bans on some Russian officials.
But for many of the measures to really bite, Obama needs to get key European allies on board, some of whom appear reluctant to take too hard a line on Russia.
The United States has already halted trade and investment talks and military-to-military engagements with Russia.
Questions remain over how broad the sanctions will be, and whether the United States can persuade its European allies to implement them.
"Inside the EU there is no unity about the proper reaction," says Speck.
One option for defusing the crisis, mentioned by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, would be the deployment of international monitors in the Crimea to provide the protection to Russian citizens that Moscow says its troops are providing.
But Russia isn't showing any signs it intends to pull back its soldiers for the time being.
Why doesn't the United States respond militarily?
Nobody in Washington appears eager for a military confrontation with America's nuclear-armed former Cold War opponent. "The last thing anybody wants is a military option in this kind of situation," said Secretary of State John Kerry.
U.S. officials say they are trying to find a way to deescalate the situation in Ukraine rather than provoke a wider conflagration.
But the situation would become a more complicated if Russia moves troops beyond Crimea into other parts of Ukraine, risking an all-out war with Kiev.
Some people are suggesting measures that include a military element but don't go as far as direct confrontation.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina called for the revival of plans for a NATO missile defense shield in Poland that Russia had strongly opposed.
What is Russia's interest in Ukraine?
What are the wider effects of the crisis?
The standoff has had a significant effect in global markets, pushing up the price of oil. Russia is a key exporter of oil and natural gas.
But experts say the world's need for Russian energy supplies -- and Russia's need for the revenue generated -- should ensure the taps stay open throughout the crisis.
Concerns over Moscow's involvement in Ukraine has hurt Russia's currency, the ruble, as well as its stock markets.
The share prices of international companies that are heavily invested in Russia have also suffered.
Ukraine, meanwhile, is one of the world's top exporters of corn and wheat, whose prices could rise on concern those exports could come to a halt.
What is Ukraine saying?
Ukraine's Interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who has accused Moscow of declaring war, vowed that his government would not give up Crimea.
"Nobody will give Crimea away," he said. "There are no grounds for the use of force against civilians and Ukrainians, and for the entry of the Russian military contingent,"
Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said that if diplomacy fails to persuade Moscow to withdraw its forces from the Ukrainian region of Crimea, the world should apply the "strongest means" on Russia.
Asked by CNN's Christiane Amanpour if she was calling for the West to use military force against Russia, Tymoshenko avoided giving a direct answer, saying she "cannot solve this issue."
Russia says that ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, whom Moscow still recognizes as the country's legitimate leader, requested that Russia send in military forces.
What is the atmosphere like in Crimea?
Reporters on the ground say the standoff is a strange one. Russian soldiers wearing no military insignia have taken up positions around the region. They have blockaded Ukrainian troops in their bases. But for the time being, the situation remains surprisingly calm.
It has been "a very low-key kind of invasion," CNN correspondent Diana Magnay reported Monday from Simferopol, the Crimean capital.
But Russian forces "have complete operational control of the Crimean peninsula," a senior U.S. administration official told CNN.
It appears that there is a "war of information" in the region "between those who watch Russian state TV and those who are getting their news from the West, none of them listening to the calls from Kiev for unity in this country," Magnay reported.

(CNN) -- New York Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez denies any plea negotiations with Major League Baseball for alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs, he told CNN's Jason Carroll this week.
"Well, I don't think there's anything that's going on right now, and that's as far as I'm going to take it," Rodriguez said. "I think it's important that we have a process. I think we have a good system with Major League Baseball. And let's let the process play out."
Rodriguez spoke with CNN Tuesday on the eve of his pending return to the Yankees lineup after off-season surgery. He talked of his love for the game that's been "the greatest gift" and how he needs his fans more than ever as he turns 38 this month.
Rodriguez's representatives have reportedly been negotiating a deal with the league to reduce a possible 100-game suspension for alleged performance-enhancing drug use, according to some media accounts. Those allegations claim Rodriguez had ties with the now-closed anti-aging Biogenesis clinic in Florida and its founder, Anthony Bosch.
Rodriguez is one of some 20 players who could face suspension as a result of the scandal.
But Rodriguez declined to address whether he would fight a long suspension or other adverse decision if one is so issued by the Yankees or the league.
"You know, I'd just rather not get into any of that right now. It's premature, and we'll let the process play out. That's my responsibility right now," Rodriguez said.
Such a roiling controversy would be hard on any athlete's concentration, and if the speculation of a possible career-ending suspension is making life more difficult for Rodriguez -- who's still working his way back into the Yankees lineup after off-season surgery -- he isn't directly saying so.
What Rodriguez does acknowledge is that he needs to connect better with his fans in what could be the final chapters of his playing career.
Rodriguez is regarded by some as the greatest slugger in baseball or the greatest third-baseman, but here's something no one can dispute: He holds the largest contract ever in American sports, signed with the Yankees in 2007 awarding him $275 million over 10 years. Critics, however, say it's the worst contract ever because of problems with his health and on-field performance.
Today, Rodriguez admits he doesn't have many years left on the diamond: He turns 38 on July 27, and he is now testing his recovery from hip surgery in January by playing in the minor leagues.
The three-time American League MVP described the operation as "definitely the hardest surgery I've had to overcome."
"Look, there's no hiding it. I'm not a spring chicken anymore. I'm not 28. I'm going to be 38 here in July. But I do think I can contribute," Rodriguez said.
"I think I can be a force in the middle lineup, a big right-handed bat for our team, but I'm at a different stage of my career. Is it realistic to go out and hit 40, 50 home runs? I don't think so. But can I go out and have nights like I did last night and do that several times a week? I think so."
Rodriguez was referring to his home run in a minor league game in which he went 2-for-4 this week, fueling optimism he could return to the majors possibly next week. He's been 5-for-28 at the plate in the minors.
"It felt incredible," he said of the two-run homer. "I haven't hit a ball like that in over a year."
He's determined to return to Yankee Stadium and won't entertain questions about potential disappointments.
"I'm going to focus on the positive," Rodriguez said. "I feel like I owe the Yankee fan base my A-game. I don't think they had that last year. I went in, I got fixed up, I worked my butt off. And I can't wait to get back in New York and help my team win."
The Yankees' web site reports that Rodriguez expects to be back with the team Monday.
Rodriguez also wants to better engage his fans. He acknowledged how he doesn't grant many one-on-one interviews.
"I've taken the approach of 'less is more,' " he said. "And I've always tried to let my game do the talking. But I think over the last year or so, I've wanted to share more with my fan base. I think that's important. And I'm in a different stage of my career now. I just want to be able to communicate with my fan base.
"First of all, I'd like to thank them for their support. Their support has been overwhelming and it's fueled me," he continued. "This has been a very difficult process, and I'm just humbled by the opportunity to play baseball. I love this game so much. My father played baseball. That's what I know to do. That's my gift. God has given me the greatest gift. And that's what I love to do."
This year's hip surgery was his second -- "almost triple the size of the one I had in '09," he said.
"It was an extensive surgery. They shaved quite a bit off my left labrum, and they put in five anchors," he said.
Despite the injury, he maintains the enthusiasm of "a 10-year-old boy out there playing," he says.
He wants to return to the Yankees pinstripes to solidify his legacy as "someone that loved that game and someone that respected that game and someone that loves teammates, and loves to compete," he said.
"The one thing that no one can take away from me is that the effort that I put forth and how much I love this game," he said.
CNN's Adam Reiss contributed to this report.

OAKLAND, Calif. | Why not the Bucs?
Why not now?
They are 4-4, and they are getting better by the week. The offense has never had this many weapons. The defense gives up acres at a time, but it manages to make big plays at crunch time. The team has won three of its past four, and it looks as if it has staked a claim on the future.
So why can't the Bucs be playoff contenders?
And why can't it be this year?
All at once, as quick as Doug Martin squirting through a hole and running to legitimacy, the Bucs are a real team again. If they have accomplished nothing else through the first half of this season, it is that they are willing to trade punches with anyone.
Yeah, it got a little turbulent in the late going Sunday, and there for a while the secondary looked like it was outnumbered. But the Bucs won again, 42-32 over the Raiders this time, and in doing so they allowed the dreamers to come up for air. Maybe, you thought. Maybe.
Did you glance at the standings this morning, and if so, what does that tell you? For a very long time, looking at the league standings has been a depressing notion for Bucs fans. These days, however, it's a reminder of just how far, and how fast, the Bucs have come.
Look at the NFC, and the Green Bay Packers are the only non-division team with fewer losses than the Bucs.
What if the Bucs win next week against the Chargers? The following week against the Panthers?
How long before you believe in life after the regular season?
Around here, 4-4 looks a lot like hope. It looks like a cleansing of the past. It looks like a promise toward the future. It looks like a very nice thing to say about the present.
"We keep talking about being 1-0 at the end of each individual season," Bucs coach Greg Schiano said. "I think if we keep doing that, we'll be in something. But we've got to do that. The minute you take your eye off of the immediate goal, I think you get yourself mixed up. I'm not na�ve that if you win enough games, you get in the tournament."
It has been some time since Bucs fans could even think that way. The Bucs have only made two playoffs in the last decade, and they lost in the first round both times.
Given that, it's probably best that Schiano preaches a little caution. On the other hand, Schiano didn't have to live through the mudslide that concluded the 2011 season. That team seemed about a decade from a promising half-season. On the other hand, that team would have lost the Raiders game about a dozen different ways.
"The one thing coach has said, and it resonates with me because I'm 37 years old, is that he wants to win now," safety Ronde Barber said. "His mentality is that you are never promised tomorrow, so let's win now. That's what he preaches. That's how he handles each individual game. Guys are buying in. People believe that's how you win."
Said tackle Gerald McCoy: "Now. We want to win now."
Give Schiano credit for this. He has instilled a resiliency to this team that has been missing for a very long time. His team plays hard, and it plays tough, and it can overcome its own shortcomings. It can get torched for a half by a quarterback such as Oakland's Carson Palmer and still make the stand-up defensive play to win the game.
Don't you like this team? Don't you like what you are seeing? Most of all, don't you like the young stars this franchise has finally imported?
Doug Martin? For two weeks now, he has looked like Barry Sanders. With Martin, the end zone never looks very far away, does it? If anyone in the league can catch Robert Griffith III for rookie of the year, it is Martin?
Josh Freeman? Freeman hung up his fourth consecutive game with a 100-plus quarterback rating on Sunday. Suddenly, he is free-wheeling Freeman.
Mike Williams? Gerald McCoy? Lavonte David? Mark Barron? Mason Foster?
Here's a warming thought. They're all under 25 years old.
So who says that rebuilding takes time? Who says that you shouldn't glance at the schedule ahead and wonder? Maybe it's time to stop the chatter about rebuilding and think about production.
"At the first of the season, I didn't know the team," Schiano said. "But I knew they worked awfully hard and we had some really good players. I thought if we went out and executed and did our job, we had a chance to win. In this league, that's what it's about. The talent differential is not very big."
No one is saying the Bucs are a finished product. There are moments when they look like a bloodied fighter holding on for the bell. They are areas where they remain short of talent.
But the Bucs are better this week than last, and they were better last week than the week before.
Don't you wonder how good they will be next week?
Question Can Be Raised: Why Not Now?

How can I get the auto-selection to show the road that is LIKE the content but do not use the . or the ' in the database
If I was to start to type...
St. John
then it would of course show the suggestion as I used the .
Can this be done ?
My fields have the proper names of the roads and I use utf8_general_ci for the road name field and the LIKE method to get the results.

It's amazing where An Overgrown Path leads. My Theremin and Variations article is linked on a Frank Zappa blog, which also yields these gems:
* A composer is a person who goes around forcing their will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.
* A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it's not open.
* Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid."
Which can only lead to Dead '72
