In mathematics, categorification is the process of replacing set-theoretic theorems by category-theoretic analogues. Categorification, when done successfully, replaces sets by categories, functions with functors, and equations by natural isomorphisms of functors satisfying additional properties. The term was coined by Louis Crane.
Categorification is the reverse process of decategorification. Decategorification is a systematic process by which isomorphic objects in a category are identified as equal. Whereas decategorification is a straightforward process, categorification is usually much less straightforward, and requires insight into individual situations.
Examples of categorification[edit]
One form of categorification takes a structure described in terms of sets, and interprets the sets as isomorphism classes of objects in a category. For example, the set of natural numbers can be seen as the set of cardinalities of finite sets (and any two sets with the same cardinality are isomorphic). In this case, operations on the set of natural numbers, such as addition and multiplication, can be seen as carrying information about products and coproducts of the category of finite sets. Less abstractly, the idea here is that manipulating sets of actual objects, and taking coproducts (combining two sets in a union) or products (building arrays of things to keep track of large numbers of them) came first. Later, the concrete structure of sets was abstracted away – taken "only up to isomorphism", to produce the abstract theory of arithmetic. This is a "decategorification" – categorification reverses this step.
Other examples include homology theories in topology. See also Khovanov homology as a knot invariant in knot theory.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - House Democratic leaders say they can't stop the Republican-led Legislature from moving right-to-work legislation limiting unions' power.
But they plan to vote down other bills including one helping finance a Detroit project featuring a new home for the NHL's Detroit Red Wings.
House Democratic Leader Richard Hammel told reporters Monday that rejecting the tax credits for the $650 million development is part of a protest against the rushed actions by Republican lawmakers and GOP Gov. Rick Snyder in the session's waning days.
Democratic officials say they also expect that the Detroit-related legislation passed last week by the Senate still will be approved by the House.
The Legislature introduced and approved right-to-work bills Thursday as thousands of protesters massed inside and outside the Capitol. Snyder has pledged to sign them.

CINCINNATI (WSAU-TSN) Terence Newman returned a fumble 58 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 3:47 remaining and the Cincinnati defense came up with one more stop of Aaron Rodgers, as the Bengals rallied for a 34-30 win over the Green Bay Packers in a wild affair at Paul Brown Stadium.
The Bengals stormed out to a 14-0 lead before four consecutive turnovers allowed the Packers to rally. Green Bay eventually scored 30 straight points before Cincinnati came back with the last 20, including 13 in the fourth quarter to win it.
Green Bay was clinging to a 30-27 lead with less than five minutes to play and appeared to pick up a first down on 3rd-and-12 at the Cincinnati 29. A successful Bengals challenge pushed the ball back just shy of the marker and the Packers elected to go for the first down.
Rookie running back Johnathan Franklin, however, was stripped of the ball just as he reached the line of scrimmage. Reggie Nelson initially picked it up, but had it knocked away by Green Bay receiver Randall Cobb. Newman, though, was right there to scoop it up and he raced untouched to the end zone.
Rodgers marched the Packers right into Cincinnati territory with a first down at the 25, but a 3rd-and-5 pass was knocked down at the line of scrimmage and his fourth-down attempt was also tipped at the line and fell incomplete with 1:21 remaining to seal the contest.

Such a great idea. Any chance those adorable bookplate templates are available as printables?
Love, love, loooooove making bookplates!
as a college professor, i often lend out books to my students -- but need to ID a book at a quick glance often without opening it (as well as, sadly, create a way that cannot be easily removed).
i have taken to creating a simple, self-inking custom stamp with the words "ex libris (my name)" printed over. i use this to stamp the top edge of the pages of the books. it's quick, cost-effective and hard to remove... so i'm sure to have my precious design and typography books back on my shelf eventually.
I love bookplates, too, but please please please don't use rubber cement as pictured in the video. It will discolor and eventually dry out and your bookplate will fall off. That's not so awful in itself, I suppose, but it's not good for the book. Get yourself some Studio Tac from an art supply store--no fumes and easy to use.
JBrunell Makes a good point, and there are lots of great Natural pH adhesives that work really well in books you can use. They're available at all craft shops.
At this very moment I'm only selling custom bookplates (though I plan on bring back the other designs soon), but you can contact me at Grow House Grow any time for more info! You can also have hand-carved block print bookplates made on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/111976951/custom-bookplate-stamp?utm_source=OpenGraph&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Share
you can even use Elmers glue, its a form of PVA, a type of glue, and its safe for books. not perfect, but safe
ACK! Don't use rubber cement which will stain the pages over time, and can cause nerve damage to boot!
It's also better to place the bookplate on the back of the front cover. It's a more secure place, even before calculating who might want to borrow your book permanently.
Love bookplates as well!
Great video.
I prefer bookplate on the front free endpaper. And I like the blog bookplatejunkie on blogger. There's a lot of styles there to chose your own bookplate from, and history as well.
Books you want to get rid of? I don't know what that means.
Years ago, I created a form of bookplate, I think using, I think, Print Artist (remember that program?) Anyway, it looked cool at the time, but have not done book plates in over a decade.
That said, I have not had the need to lend out books in years so it's not been an issue. I bet if I looked at my stash, I'll find one that has a book plate in it I made.
Not a surprise for a librarian, I love to use good old library book due date pockets and due date cards. You can buy self adhesive pockets that just pop right into the book or good double sided tape. I write or stamp my name on top of due date card. These also make cute cards and book marks :) Also nice to give in books for gifts http://pinterest.com/pin/140526450844642662/

By Chad Langager and Casey Murphy, senior analyst of ChartAdvisor.com
The triple top and triple bottom are reversal patterns that are formulated when a security attempts to move past a key level of support or resistance in the direction of the prevailing trend.
This chart pattern represents the market's attempt to move a security in a certain direction. After three failed attempts, the buyers (in the case of a top) or sellers (in the case of a bottom) give up, and the opposing group in the market takes a hold of the security, sending it downward (sellers) or upward (buyers).
Triple Top
This bearish reversal pattern is formed when a security that is trending upward tests a similar level of resistance three times without breaking through. Each time the security tests the resistance level, it falls to a similar area of support. After the third fall to the support level, the pattern is complete when the security falls through the support; the price is then expected to move in a downward trend.
|Figure 1: Triple top reversal
The first step in this pattern is the creation of a new high in an uptrend that is stalled by selling pressure, which forms a level of resistance. The selling pressure causes the price to fall until it finds a level of support, as buyers move back into the security. The buying pressure sends the price back up to the area of resistance the security previously met. Again, the sellers enter the market and send the security back down to the support level.
This pattern can be difficult to spot in the early stages as it will initially look like a double-top pattern, which was discussed in a previous section. The most important thing here is that one waits for the price to move past the level of resistance before entering the security, as the security could actually just end up being range-bound, where it trades between the two levels for some time.
In the triple-top formation, each test of resistance at the upper end should be marked with declining volume at each successive peak. And again, when the price breaks below the support level, it should be accompanied by high volume.
Once the signal is formed, the price objective is based on the size of the chart pattern or the price distance between the level of resistance and support. This is then deducted from the breakout point.
Triple Bottom
This bullish reversal pattern has all of the same attributes as the triple top but signals a reversal of a downward trend. The triple-bottom pattern illustrates a security that is trading in a downtrend and attempts to fall through a level of support three times, each time moving back to a level of resistance. After the third attempt to push the price lower, the pattern is complete when the price moves above the resistance level and begins trading in an upward trend.
|Figure 2: Triple bottom reversal
This pattern begins by setting a new low in a downtrend, which is followed by a rally to a high. This sets up the range of trading for the triple-bottom pattern. After hitting the high, the price again comes under selling pressure, which sends it back down to the previous low. Buyers again move back into the security at this support level, sending the price back up again, usually to the previous high.
This is repeated a third time, but after failing again to move to a new low, the pattern is complete when the security moves above the resistance level to begin trading in an uptrend.
In this pattern, volume plays a role similar to the triple top, declining at each trough as it tests the support level, which is a sign of diminishing selling pressure. Again, volume should be high on a breakout above the resistance level on the completion of the pattern.
The price objective will also initially be calculated as the distance of the chart pattern added to the price breakout. So if the chart pattern is formed between $50 and $30 at a price breakout of $50 the price objective is $70 ($50+$20).
Meaning Behind Triple Tops and Bottoms
The significance of these two formations is that an established trend has hit a major section of support/resistance, which stops the trend's ability to continue. This is an indication that the buying or selling pressure that is supporting the trend is beginning to weaken. It also is an indication that the opposite pressure is gaining strength.
The chart pattern is signaling that there is a shift in the supply and demand of the security and of the balance between buyers and sellers. When a reversal signal is formed in a triple top, there is a shift from buyers moving the security upward to sellers moving the security downward.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- A Jerusalem city council member says the city has advanced a plan to build a Jewish seminary in an Arab neighborhood of east Jerusalem -- the section of the holy city claimed by the Palestinians for their future state.
The move threatens to set off a new crisis in U.S.-brokered peace talks.
Pepe Alalo says a planning committee gave its approval Wednesday to build a nine-story study center in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
Alalo, who opposed the plan, says it still needs further approvals. But Nimr Hamad, a Palestinian official, called it "a new obstacle on the road to peace."
Alalo says the proposal had been delayed when U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visited the region to advance peace efforts.
The municipality had no immediate comment.

Amazon's drones aim to take out UPS, FedEx
CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled plans for Amazon Prime Air, a service that would offer automated airborne delivery to your doorstep in less than 30 minutes.
By Chris Ciaccia
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Amazon (AMZN) has disrupted countless industries: retail, cloud computing, music, movies and so much more. Now, it's onto its latest venture: upend the shipping business.
In what is an attempt to disrupt the businesses of UPS (UPS) and FedEx (FDX), Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled Amazon Prime Air on CBS' (CBS) "60 Minutes" Sunday -- a new drone delivery service Amazon hopes will allow it to get packages into the hands of customers in 30 minutes or less.
"I know this looks like science fiction," Bezos said during the interview, while unveiling the automated delivery drones. "It's not."
The normally secretive Amazon unveiled the drones to interviewer Charlie Rose, who promptly responded with "Oh my God!" when seeing the technology at work.
There's been a lot of early skepticism about the drones, with a parody Twitter (TWTR) account set up, and millions taking to other forms of social media to mock the new service. Bezos, however, is extremely optimistic about the service and its future. "It will work, and it will happen," Bezos said during the interview. "And it's going to be a lot of fun."
Bezos did not disclose the cost of the drones, or how they would work, which are dissimilar to the drones that the U.S. military uses.
Currently, Amazon offers Amazon Prime, which allows users to pay $79 per year to get free two-day shipping for goods. The service also allows users to watch movies and television shows, in an attempt to compete with Netflix (NFLX).
Amazon has never publicly disclosed how many customers use the Prime service, though it did say in its third-quarter earnings release it signed up "millions of new Prime members."
On Amazon's website, the company noted it expects to roll out the service by 2015, and is working with the Federal Aviation Administration to get the drones to be regulated. "Putting Prime Air into commercial use will take some number of years as we advance the technology and wait for the necessary FAA rules and regulations," Amazon said on its on its website.
This new service is a clear shot at the business models of UPS and FedEx, which Amazon currently relies upon. Amazon does not break out how much in operating expenses it incurs by shipping with UPS and FedEx, but it's clearly a significant portion of expenses. In Amazon's third quarter, it had worldwide shipping costs of $1.53 billion, and $811 million in net shipping costs. Net shipping costs accounted for 4.7 percent of of all worldwide sales.
During the third quarter, fulfillment expenses totaled $1.96 billion, or 11.5 percent of Amazon's $17.09 billion in quarterly revenue.
By contrast, UPS generated $13.52 billion in revenue during the third quarter, up 3.4 percent year-over-year, with $8.3 billion of that revenue coming from domestic operations. UPS recently announced it was raising 2014 shipping prices by 4.9 percent for "UPS Ground, Air and International, and Air Freight rates within and between the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico," according to a press release.
Similarly, FedEx announced in September that FedEx Express package and freight rates would go up an average of 3.9 percent.
To curb those costs, in part, Amazon recently announced a deal with the United States Postal Service to deliver packages on Sunday.
During the "60 Minutes" interview, Bezos said the drones can carry packages up to 5 pounds as far as 10 miles, after taking off from Amazon's fulfillment centers.
Amazon has over 225 million customers around the world, according to the interview. Though drones (Bezos's phrase) are not coming tomorrow, it's clear Amazon is working on disrupting yet another industry. One drone at a time.
More from TheStreet.com
Eventually, Amazon is going to have to do something to turn in some serious bottom line numbers. Bezos has been talking about looking 5 years down the road for profits for more than a decade. Now they make $132 million on $70 billion in sales - still terrible ratios. Eventually, they need to make big profits and return huge chunks to investors.
I started LMAO at the concept...Now I had a chance to look into the eyes of a crazy man in the video.
We were giggling about the hunting type experience also...
Grandpa and Grandma, will panic when one lands in the driveway...Grandpa will "shotgun" it...
I just figure MasterCard will be renting them from Amazon for their "free delivery" scam.
It will also be fun watching them going through trees or power lines.....not !!
Me and the kids have even flown some of these type things years ago.

An Apex teen who died in 2012 after taking what friends said
were two hits of LSD had the designer drug "N-bomb" in his system.
A report by the state medical examiner lists
"complications of 25I-NBOMe toxicity" as the cause of death of
Timothy Castaneda.
25I-NBOMe is a psychedelic drug more commonly known as
"N-bomb," "Smiles" and "25I." Like LSD, N-bomb
may be distributed in liquid form on blotter paper.
Apex Police found the 17-year-old former Apex High School
student unresponsive in a wooded area behind Beaver Creek Cinemas in the Beaver
Creek Shopping Center on Oct. 6, 2012. He died a week later.
A friend of Castaneda called 911 shortly after his friend
collapsed after taking the drug. The caller said Castaneda was "on
When they arrived, EMS responders described the teen as "pale
and cyanotic, hot to the touch, with pupils dilated to the point where no iris
was showing." He was also unresponsive and having a seizure.
Castaneda was transported to Rex Hospital and then transferred
to WakeMed, where he died seven days later. Doctors said he "never regained
meaningful neurologic function" while hospitalized.
The report called Castaneda's death an "accident."
Police arrested and charged Ryan Laches, who was 17 at the
time of Castaneda's death, with two counts of selling a controlled substance to
Police said Laches gave Castaneda a drug at a party that
day. A search warrant said Laches was trying to "drum up business" by
handing out free hits of a drug.
Laches is scheduled to make his next court appearance on these charges on Oct. 9.

Title: The Impact of Partial Impairment of the DNA Checkpoint Protein HUS1 on the Biology and Treatment of Lung Cancer
Annual Direct Cost: $40,000
Project Period: 07/01/2011 - 06/30/2012
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, with over 150,000 people dying of the disease annually and an additional 200,000 new cases diagnosed each year. The reported relative 5-year survival rate is 50% for patients with localized disease and an abysmal 3% for patients with distant metastasis. This research determines if checkpoint impairment can halt lung cancer progression and if checkpoint impairment can sensitize lung cancer to cisplatin chemotherapy. In mammalian cells, the Atm and Atr checkpoint pathways function to protect DNA from damage. Although the tumor suppressor functions of the ATM pathway are well known, the functions of the Atr pathway in cancer are poorly understood. It is unclear whether pathway impairment will deprive cancer cells of a critical stress response, such that the cancer cells cannot survive and cell death occurs. To address this uncertainty, this work combines checkpoint impairment with oncogene activation in a mouse model of lunch cancer.

The Language of Biblical Womanhood
- Thursday, August 18, 2005
For hundreds of years, young women who came of age in southern China learned a secret language. Secret, that is, from the men and the boys. Like their mothers and grandmothers before them, these girls were denied the opportunity of learning to read and write Chinese. So the oppressed women of that culture — determined to have a means of expressing themselves — developed their own language. It was a girls-only writing script called Nushu.
According to an article in the Washington Post, three days after her wedding a new bride would receive a "Third Day Book," lovingly inscribed in Nushu by her mother, grandmother, and "sworn sisters." In delicate, elongated handwriting these women expressed feelings of sadness at losing a daughter and friend and shared best wishes for her future happiness. The bride would make her own entries in Nushu, and the book became a diary of her married life.
Someday the bride would teach her own daughter Nushu. And so these peasant women preserved their language for over fifteen hundred years, right into our century. With no education, means, or encouragement, they created something unique in all of history: the only language written by women for women.1
Another Language for Women Exists Today
Did you know that God has given us our own mother-daughter language? Unlike Nushu, our language is not a secret. It is not a response to oppression, but it is a uniquely feminine language. As mothers and daughters, God has entrusted us with its progress and preservation. It's the language of biblical womanhood.
Biblical womanhood, simply defined, is God's perfect design for women as revealed in the Bible. Much more than a writing script, it's a way of life. More than something we read or write, it's something we speak and do.
We find this language scattered throughout the entire Bible. Tucked in Titus 2:3-5 is a summary of some of the qualities of a godly woman, such as purity, self-control, kindness, love for husband and children, skill in homemaking, and a heart of submission. But we find more traits in passages such as Proverbs 31:10-31, 1 Timothy 5:9-10, and 1 Peter 3:1-6 — steadfast faith, good works, strength, and wisdom, united with a gentle and quiet spirit. Together these characteristics comprise the language of biblical womanhood. They provide for us a composite sketch — to imitate and copy like an aspiring artist would copy a great masterpiece.
Passing the Language On
But first we must understand our responsibility to pass on this language from mother to daughter. For while God clearly calls all older women to school the younger women in the art of biblical womanhood (Titus 2:3-5), one of the most important teacher-student relationships is between a mother and her daughter. We have an exciting task, an assignment from God Himself to transfer these feminine attributes from one generation to the next. This is our mother-daughter purpose. Our mission.
I was reminded of our mission when my mother sold her house. Because of my father's failing health, my parents recently moved from Florida to Maryland to live with my sister and her family. At my mom's request, my brothers, sisters, and I sorted through all their belongings.
I brought several items home for my daughters: some old books for Nicole, a crystal bowl for Kristin, and my grandma's handmade quilt for Janelle. For myself I kept a solitary piece of china, one of the few remaining plates from the set my grandfather bought my mother for her wedding.

David Nail is quick to admit he isn't the most tidy guy around the house. He and his wife, Catherine , just purchased a bigger house in Nashville, and David's clothes and personal belongings are scattered everywhere.
He admits, "I'll walk by and I'll see a coat there, or I'll see a pair of jeans, and I'm like, I need to fold that, or I need to put that on a hanger and put it in the closet, but I'll just…find something else that I need to do more and keep procrastinating and three days later, it's still sittin' there."
David recently loaded and unloaded the dishwasher in the kitchen, but he didn't get the reaction he was hoping for from Catherine.
"I remember I got a little upset because she wasn't quite as thrilled and proud of me as I wanted," David adds. "I guess I wanted her to come in and do cartwheels, but it was a big thing for me. I'm still living off that."
David's new album, I'm a Fire , is available now featuring the #1 hit, "Whatever She's Got," and his new single, "Kiss You Tonight."

Washington, D.C., Metro Police Detective Sergeant Sam Holland needs a big win to salvage her career - and her confidence - after a disastrous investigation. The perfect opportunity arises when Senator John O'Connor is found brutally murdered in his bed, and Sam is assigned to the case. Matters get complicated when Sam has to team up with Nick Cappuano, O'Connor's friend and chief of staff...and the man Sam had a memorable one-night stand with years earlier. Their sexual chemistry still sizzles, and Sam has to fight to stay focused on the case. Sleeping with a material witness is another mistake she can't afford - especially when the bodies keep piling up.
©2010 Marie Sullivan Force (P)2010 Audible, Inc.
"[L]ightning-quick and intense. This novel is "The O.C." does D.C., and you just can't get enough." (RT Book Reviews)
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Wow! Suspenseful mysteries keep you riveted"
Emotional realism makes a story by Marie Force totally believable. All the way through FATAL AFFAIR, feelings are depicted with complete genuineness as sincerity backs any responses. Whether a character is in a jovial mood or is frightened by a traumatic event, their candidly honest thoughts are communicated with outspokenly frank words. Several of the discussions between Nick and Sam are exceedingly amusing with quick-witted humor, and other times their conversations are overflowing with compassionate concern. I became emotionally involved in the lives of these two when they are first met, and every additional fact about them only made my connection more powerful. There are some issues they must both deal with before their relationship can become a lasting one, and any struggles are clearly portrayed with careful examination of generally undeclared beliefs. Being privy to their inner way of thinking let me come to understand the driving force behind many carried out actions, and these stirring descriptions frequently touched my own feelings. The sexual awareness between Nick and Sam is sky-high, and this causes some scenes to be packed with tension while any intimate encounters are blazing with steamy heat and heartfelt emotions. A number of other characters are particularly distinctive, and the moments when Sam's partner, Freddie Cruz, is featured show his sharp mind with innumerable witty comebacks. As each mystery unfolds, the suspense mounts concerning who is behind the killing, and my own imagination continuously took various paths as new details about the possible suspects came to light. Ms. Force has created an outstanding story where the truth is masterfully divulged after more than a few unforeseen twists. FATAL AFFAIR engages the mind with rivetingly suspenseful mysteries while your heart is grabbed by the intense emotions.
Felicity Munroe was great with the delivery of the story. I can't wait ti read the rest of the series.
"Great Story but...."
I would recommend the BOOK, not so much the audiobook if one can help it. The story was great but the narrator totally killed it for me.
the narrator wasn't bad, I just think she was more suited for YA novels. Some of the more adult scenes read by her was a bit unsettling as she has a more youthful voice.
"So Good I Bought the Whole Series!!"
I listened to this book because the description captured my interest. It was the best decision I could have made. The narrator and story line were good, but the characters were wonderful. Sam and Nick reminded me of Dallas and Rourke from J.D. Robb's prolific Death series. I was so taken with this first book that I immediately purchased the whole series and listened to them all in three days. Now I can't wait for the next one; I really really hope this series continues.
"Great Story"
I would have given it 5 stars but the reader is HORRIBLE! The author is one of my new favorites.
Married, not quite 40 mom from the mid-west. I sit behind a computer all day translating large amounts of data into business solutions.
"Light hearted and enjoyable"
Fatal Affair is truly an enjoyable light read. Marie Force does a wonderful job with the character development. I love Sam, Nick and Freddie! The story line is truly fictional with Nick and Sam having an inappropriate relationship for a witness/investigator, not to mention the willingness of fellow officers to overlook the ethical issues or this relationship. But the storyline is one you want to believe is plausible - the characters are just so compelling. Well deserved 5 stars.
"Loved it!~"
After finishing Safe Haven, I had a really hard time finding something else to listen too, stumbled upon this one, and I love it, almost as much. Didn't even realize this was a series, sooo excited.
I have returned 2 previous books by other narrators, just couldnt get past them. She did an excellent job. Made the book.
Reading has always been my guilty pleasure. I would take stacks of books from the library. Now I listen to Audible.
"Just What I Needed"
I was looking for a series to tide me over until the next IN DEATH came along. This is it.
I really enjoyed the first book. The male voices were a little off putting but not enough to stop me from listening.
"Wow...a must read....read them in order!"
I am a long time audio book listener. This is my first review. I am very impressed. It is easy to love the two main characters. There is a wonderful story, a family you can believe, "family values" that are real and have been tested. There is love, romance and some wonderful sex. It is a full service story. Marie Force seems to be a relatively new author and I predict we will see a lot of her soon.
I hope she keeps Sam and Nick around for a very long time. I am hooked.
Read them in order.
The main character has a one night stand years and years ago, meets the guy and has a sudden overly obsessive school girl crush on him that she can't do her job of solving a murder. Yet we are suppose to believe that she is a strong capable police sergeant. The story lost me because this woman's and man's adolescent relationship is so absolutely school-yard, surgary-sweet and unbelievable.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
"A New Author for Me."
A fantastic first book in a new series. The opening chapter hooks one immediately and doesn't let go till the end.
Even though I guessed early on who the perpetrator may be it still was a very good finish.
Give this book a read, a lil gruesome in certain areas but that adds to the mystique of the finish.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

The best -- and worst -- things to buy in July
If you're looking for clothes, grills or computers, now's the time to buy. But if you're thinking about a mattress or an e-reader, it might pay to sleep on it.
This post comes from Lindsay Sakraida at partner site Dealnews.
July is a particularly important month to know whether you're spending wisely, since a number of sales will appear to be better than they actually are. Protect your wallet by checking the Dealnews buying guide for everything you need to know to shop smart in July.
The Fourth of July is an excellent time to score a discount on summer items while they're still in-season, which means you can finally find a deal on a grill during the holiday weekend; gas grills in particular experienced above-average discounts last year.
Summer clothing will also see strong price cuts, with stores taking up to 62% off on average. Also be on the lookout for extra coupons that slash up to an additional 50% off sale prices.
That said, keep in mind that the prices will only continue to drop as the season progresses; patio furniture, for example, saw better discounts in August last year.
Wait until Labor Day for bedding sales
The one "usual suspect" for holiday weekend sales that we actually recommend skipping in July is bedding; for the past three years, Labor Day sales have taken much stronger discounts on these items than Independence Day promotions.
July is primed to be an excellent month for Android tablet deals, as we've recently seen an influx of high-quality discounts. In fact, the number of Editors' Choice deals on tablets quadrupled in the month of May, and the stream of sales has held strong through June.
While it tapered off slightly last month, there was still double the number of Editors' Choice deals than normal. Slate shoppers should look for sales from retailers such as Staples, Lenovo, Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart. And if you're open to a refurbished or used model, then both Android tablets and iPads are fair game; keep an eye on CowBoom and eBay for these top-notch used deals.
As far as Apple buying advice goes, it's an interesting month. The tech giant debuted a "new" 16GB iPod Touch as well as an update to its MacBook Air. We're recommending that consumers hold off on buying the Touch though until about September, when reseller deals should knock $39 off the retail price, dropping it to $190.
As far as the MacBook Air is concerned, normally we would advise shoppers to skip the latest generation laptop from Apple and look for a deal on the very similar previous generation. However, the updates to the MacBook Air this year are actually quite substantial, offering a better value for your money than last year's Ivy Bridge model. That said, you can still get a small discount of about $49 if you wait up to two months for a reseller deal.
Put down the Nook
The Barnes & Noble Nook has been in a bit of a tailspin; last month, the bookseller announced that it would stop supporting its Nook desktop app, and this week it declared defeat for the Nook color tablet.
And while B&N says it will continue to sell its e-book readers (with an as-yet-unnamed new manufacturer), consumers should proceed with caution; as it stands, B&N e-books are playable on only Nooks or devices with the Nook app; if the readers and apps are discontinued and no longer supported, your extensive media collection will be playable for as long as your Nook holds out.
You can obviously convert the e-books to other formats, but this is technically illegal for any DRM-protected files, which will likely be the case for the majority of newer books. For that reason, shoppers might want to reconsider buying a new Nook or B&N e-book. If you've already invested in the technology, here are some ways to protect your eBook library in case the Nook gets canned entirely.
Although July typically conjures up images of barbecues and picnics, you should also expect to be bombarded with laptop deals this month. Last month Intel introduced its newest processor, Haswell, which offers improved battery life and better graphics performance than the previous 2012 Ivy Bridge generation. As a result, July will see a flood of deals on "older" Ivy Bridge-based laptops, many of which are still very capable machines. Combined with back-to-school sales, consumers can expect to see some killer laptop deals this month.
For that reason, we recommend looking at Ivy Bridge systems in order to get the most savings. These systems pack sufficient power for the average user and deals for mainstream Ivy Bridge laptops (those with a15" screen, Core i5 CPU, and minimum 4GB RAM) are currently at the second-lowest price they've been all year: $323. (The all-time low has been $299.) In the coming weeks, we expect to see deals at or below $299.
Although we don't have much data on Haswell-based notebooks, deals in June ranged from $735 to $841 for mainstream 15" systems. The difference here is that the Haswell laptops are all packing Core i7 quad-core processors and built with slightly better specs. So you're definitely paying a premium over the Ivy Bridge systems. However, if Haswell's improved battery life isn't much of a selling point to you, stick with the Ivy Bridge laptops.
September is a sweet time to buy a desktop
Normally we turn our attention to laptops, but if you're still carrying a flame for a desktop personal computer, then it's good to keep in mind that this category too will benefit from deals on Ivy Bridge-equipped models. However, our records show that the best time to buy a PC will be in September for mainstream dual-core systems, and November for higher-end quad-based models. And if you're not particular about your computation needs, also take note of the fact that, so far in 2013, the average price of a dual-core desktop PC has been $100 less than the average price of a dual-core 15" laptop, at $248.
2013 TVs already 40% off, 2012 models see bigger cuts
The holidays are traditionally the best time of year to score deals on HDTVs, but this year we've noticed aggressive deals on many of 2013's latest sets. In fact, diligent bargain hunters can save up to 40% off a new 2013 TV. This includes models from name-brand companies like Samsung, Panasonic and LG. Although prices vary by size and manufacturer, LG is currently seeing the biggest discounts with deals on every size TV.
Alternatively, shoppers can also look to 2012 models for greater savings. For instance, name-brand 55" 3D LCD TVs have remained comfortably under $800 for most of 2013 with current lows at $720. If a 55" TV is too big for your needs, we're also seeing all-time lows on 46" to 47" LCD HDTVs. In fact, name-brand 46" to 47" LCDs are currently tied with our best Black Friday mention ($398) while off-brand 46" to 47" TVs have also plummeted to a new low of $311. But while both new and older TVs are hitting great prices, keep in mind that if you can wait until the winter, you'll likely score even bigger savings.

Health Day - ONLINE EDITION
Kids Who Exercise More May Get Better Grades
U.K. study looked at math, science and English performance
MONDAY, Oct. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Getting regular daily exercise of moderate to vigorous intensity may also boost students' academic performance, according to a new U.K. study.
The more intense the exercise, the greater the impact on English, math and science test results, the study authors found. However, they couldn't explain the precise causes behind the connection.
"A number of suggestions have been put forward for why there is a link -- such as physical activity increasing time on task in the classroom, or having an impact on self-esteem," said study researcher Josephine Booth, a lecturer at the University of Dundee, in Scotland.
There may be a biological explanation, she said, with other researchers finding low levels of activity can adversely affect brain structure and function, and affect students' intellectual performance.
Booth also couldn't say for sure whether overall motivation explains the link -- that high-achieving kids do well in exercise and academics. "We were unable to adjust for personality type in the present study," she said.
The study is published online Oct. 21 in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Booth's team evaluated nearly 5,000 students enrolled in the "Children of the 90s" study, which is tracking long-term health outcomes of about 14,000 children born in England between 1991 and 1992.
She and her team measured the duration and intensity of the students' daily physical activity for a period of three to seven days when they were aged 11. The students wore a device on their belts to measure activity.
At age 11, both boys and girls were below the 60 minutes recommended for daily exercise. The boys clocked 29 minutes, on average, and the girls, 18 minutes.
Those who exercised the most did better in national academic exams. At age 11, the kids who exercised most had better performance in all three subjects. The activity especially helped the girls' science performance. At ages 13, 15 and 16, the link held.
The researchers accounted for other factors that might affect school performance -- such as social and economic status, birth weight, the mothers' ages at delivery and smoking during pregnancy -- and the link still held.
The new research adds to previous work that has shown a positive effect of physical activity on children's brain functioning and cognitive (thinking) performance, said James Sallis, a distinguished professor of family and preventive medicine and director of Active Living Research, at the University of California, San Diego. He reviewed the new research but did not participate in it.
"One of the impressive aspects of this study is they pinpointed the effects of moderate-to-vigorous activity by adjusting for the effect of total activity, which is mostly light intensity, such as slow walking," Sallis said. "It is more reasonable to expect that higher-intensity activity would have biological effects on the brain that could lead to improved academic performance."
Sallis said he doubts that a student's overall motivation level can explain the findings. "The authors adjusted for socioeconomic status and other factors known to be related to motivation," he said.
According to study author Booth, the findings have important implications for education policy, suggesting that school should value physical activity as a way to improve classroom performance.

I am a social person naturally, but I lacked the formal training in how to behave in a proper networking event. Mitacs Step taught me key networking skills like carrying business cards, building a LinkedIn profile, and simply how to approach a stranger and make small talk which were all very beneficial, and the instructors were excellent.

you spelled the forest of echoes "farest"... might want to change that.
looks good so far
I don't see anything wrong here except for those really dark things along the bottom. Everything else seems to blend nicely to me, shrug.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

you spelled the forest of echoes "farest"... might want to change that.
looks good so far
ok i fixed the blocky lines in water, lightened the jungles in the south, darkened the ocean to blend better with rivers, added a few names and some other stuff.
any suggestions on desert texters and what scale does it look like
This really reminds me of Steerpike's Cadaverous Earth, over at the Campaign Builder's Guild, from what I can gather from this map. Very cool in that "dark" kind of way.
As for your rivers, and where they meet the coasts, it looks to me like the issue is that you can see a "river" come up to the edge and stop, as it overlaps a coast line. It might help to erase the coast line right at the rivers, and make sure the color on those rivers don't go out into the ocean awkwardly.
Consider the possibility of having the coastline brush also border your rivers. Doing that would incorporate the rivers into the look of the rest of the map, if it doesn't end up looking terrible. I'd say play with that, and if it's bad, just don't save the changes.
Also, 2 more things.
1)The subtitle for Helglaive says City of Sarrow. Do you mean "Sorrow?"
2)The forest on that peninsula to the southwest of Shinow has an unnatural straight edge on the bottom.

A Wairarapa gun dealer says any calls for tighter restrictions around guns and firearm licensing are unnecessary as New Zealand has the best licensing system in the world.
Figures released under the Official Information Act show of the 234,000-plus gun licence holders in New Zealand, 5516 are permitted to possess military style semi-automatics (MSSAs).
More than 120 firearm licence tests were held at Masterton police station in 2011.
Carterton gun manufacturer Neil Hayes said New Zealand's firearm licensing system was the best in the world as anyone wanting a licence had to do a course of study, pass a test and then be considered a "fit and proper person" by police.
"It's worked extremely well. In fact there's virtually no problem with firearms in New Zealand," Mr Hayes said.
"There's a few criminals that use them, [but] usually the criminals are well known to the police department."
A former High Court judge who was appointed to review gun control laws in 1996 following two shootings by police and the Aramoana massacre is again questioning the need for civilians to possess MSSAs.
"I do find difficulty in seeing any purpose in having multiple- firing weapons of the military style. I can't see what purpose they serve to us in this country," Sir Thomas Thorp said.
Mr Hayes said the 1997 Thorp report had nothing constructive in it which was why nobody ever took any notice of it.
"He was draconian in the extreme, because even when he did the report we had excellent firearms laws in New Zealand," Mr Hayes said.
American Vice-President Joe Biden is due to release recommendations from his gun violence task force this week in response to calls for tighter gun control laws, specifically around the ownership of military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines.
It follows the second-deadliest school shooting in US history in December in which 20 children and six staff were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
The gunman used two pistols and a Bushmaster XM15 assault rifle; a gun available to Kiwi arms enthusiasts with E category licences.
The most recently available figures from Statistics New Zealand show more than 26,000 firearms were imported in 2011, worth $13.5 million.
Although firearm owners are licensed, there is no way of knowing how many guns they possess because of a decision in 1982 to abandon a system of licensing each gun in favour of licensing gun owners. In 1996, Police National Headquarters estimated there were 1.2 million firearms nationwide.
Sir Thorpe said while New Zealand's gun-related offending was lower than other developed country, police routinely found blackmarket guns in criminal hands during drug raids.
Police annual reports show 599 firearm licenses were revoked in the 2011/12 financial year for gun control breaches; 79 under the Domestic Violence Act.
The number of illegal firearms in circulation is unknown. However, Sir Thorp's 1997 Review of Firearms Control in New Zealand estimated 100,000 guns were held by unlicensed owners.
His report recommended that all firearms be registered, not just handguns and MSSAs, licences be renewed every three, instead of 10 years, and MSSAs be banned and made subject to a Government buy-back. - APNZ
Gun Stats
- 16,049 firearm licence holders in the Wellington police district (as of February 2012).
- 122 firearm licence tests held at Masterton police station in 2011.
- 3850 B endorsement holders (target pistol shooters).
- 3784 C endorsement holders (possession of pistols and/or restricted weapons as a collector, heirloom, museum curator or theatrical armourer).
- 5516 E endorsement holders (permitted to possess Military Style Semi-Automatics).
- 456 dealers licences.

Kyle Chaney (JB Off Road Racing / Can-Am) recorded the first official organized racing victory with the Can-Am Maverick 1000R X rs side-by-side vehicle with his recent UTV Rally Raid series win in Tennessee. (Image supplied by Quantum Racing Inc.)
Valcourt, Québec, February 20, 2013 – Team JB Off Road Racing / Can-Am® pilot Kyle Chaney won the 2013 UTV Rally Raid Northern Series opening event in Oliver Springs, Tenn., earning the first official victory in organized competition with the new Can-Am Maverick™ 1000R X® rs side-by-side vehicle. Chaney pulled a commanding lead over the field of more than 30 entries to win not only the series' premier unlimited C class, but also the overall event victory at the four-hour day / night race held at Windrock Park.
"We're thrilled to have Kyle Chaney race the Can-Am Maverick 1000R side-by-side vehicle to victory in the growing UTV Rally Raid series. He definitely showcased the capabilities of the essentially stock Maverick 1000R X rs in the Tennessee mountains during this rugged four-hour event," said Jimmie O'Dell, Race Manager, Can-Am. "Despite drastically changing weather and track conditions throughout the grueling endurance race, Chaney used the abilities of the Can-Am Maverick to his advantage and distanced himself from the rest of the pack at the UTV Rally Raid Northern Series opener. This was a very big victory for Kyle, the Can-Am Maverick and BRP and we will build upon this success as the season progresses."
Thirty-three side-by-side vehicles started the four-hour endurance event just before sunset on an already wet eight-mile course. However, a few hours into the race, as darkness fell upon the surrounding mountains, temperatures dropped, snow fell and standing water turned to ice. Chaney, who started from the fourth row, took full advantage of the Maverick 1000R X rs vehicle's performance and handling to work his way through the pack of side by sides ahead of him to take over the Class C (unlimited) lead. He then took the overall race lead near the latter portion of the event and eventually won by more than six minutes, completing 15 laps on the course. It was the first competitive victory for Chaney and the 101-horsepower 2013 Can-Am Maverick 1000R X rs.

"The new Can-Am Maverick performed extremely well for me the entire four hours of the race. The handling is incredible," said Chaney. "Despite the mud and snow, the Maverick worked really great in all the changing conditions that the course could throw at it."
The UTV Rally Raid event and series served as a perfect tune-up for Chaney and the Maverick 1000R as they prepare for the 2013 Grand National Cross Country series. Chaney and the Maverick will make their GNCC series debut March 16, in Washington, Ga.
Four other Can-Am side-by-side vehicles also competed in Tennessee. White Racing put its Can-Am Commander™ on the podium in the Class B ranks, finishing third, and took 12th overall.

The UTV Rally Raid is a four-hour endurance racing series for side-by-side vehicles promoted by Georgia-based Quantum Racing Inc. The series is comprised of a two regional (North and South) 10-race schedules that run from February through December at Windrock Park in Tennessee and Alabama's Stony Lonesome OHV Park.

High Line's Preservation and Reuse Advocates Contest Demolition Plans at the Federal Level
Group Asserts Ten-Year-Old Federal Ruling Is No Longer Valid And Must Be Reopened
Demolition Proponents Move to Gain Federal Approval of Unsigned Agreement
August 19, 2002 – On Friday, August 16, 2002, advocates for the preservation and reuse of the High Line, a historic elevated rail structure on the West Side of Manhattan, petitioned the Surface Transportation Board (STB) in Washington, DC, asserting that a 1992 ruling that opened the door to demolition proposals for the High Line is "outdated and invalid" and must be reconsidered.
"Ten years later, the fundamental arguments beneath the 1992 ruling no longer make any sense," said Robert Hammond, co-founder of Friends of the High Line (FHL), a non-profit, community-based group working to transform the out-of-use rail structure into an elevated walkway through the federally sanctioned rail-banking program. "Our current understanding of the High Line's historical significance and the real economic potential of reusing the structure were not accurately predicted 1992. New reviews are clearly demanded."
The urgency of Friends of the High Line's petition was underscored by a federal filing on August 14 by demolition proponents requesting STB approval of contested demolition plans. The petitioners were Chelsea Property Owners (CPO), a group of private landholders led by a New Jersey-based real estate company, Edison Properties. The proposal for which CPO requested approval is missing crucial signatures, was found to be "undertaken in violation of lawful procedure and was an error of law," by a New York State Supreme Court justice in March, 2002, and is still being contested at the appellate court level.
"To let a priceless resource like the High Line be destroyed on the basis of a clearly outdated ruling would be a travesty of justice," said Congressman Jerrold Nadler, a high-ranking member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee who represents the West Side neighborhood through which the High Line runs. "The High Line is part of an irreplaceable transportation corridor that has served our community for more than six generations. We cannot allow such a valuable and historic component of our national rail system to be dismantled–especially when the federal rail-banking program encourages the preservation and continued use of these corridors for the greater public good. Both the economy and the essence of the surrounding neighborhood have greatly changed in the past ten years."
A conditional abandonment order, which would permit demolition of the High Line if a specific set of financial and indemnity conditions are met, was issued in 1992 by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), a federal body that has since been replaced by the Surface Transportation Board (STB). The STB has the final authority to approve or reject any proposals regarding the future of the High Line, including future applications for Interim Trail Use, or rail-banking, for the structure.
Friends of the High Line's filing states that "changed circumstances and new evidence" require the STB to "start over" in evaluating the negative effects of potential demolition. It cites a changed understanding of the High Line's historic significance, which is now recognized by leading architectural historians as being eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It argues that there has been a major "economic and cultural revival" of the High Line neighborhood and "a massive shift in public opinion" towards support for preservation and reuse of the structure, and it contends that because viable reuse proposals now exist for the High Line, "demolition would pollute a vibrant community and deprive it of a precious resource and valuable opportunity." It concludes that the "ICC's assumptions lie in ruins" and that "the Board should and must reopen its 1992 Abandonment Decision…."
"The STB certainly must reexamine the historic value of the High Line, " said Scott Heyl, president of the Preservation League of New York State, which included the High Line in its 2002 "Seven to Save" list of the State's most important, threatened historic properties. "Today this unique industrial structure is widely acknowledged to be a rare, important, historic icon. To permit its demolition, and at the same time squander a singular chance to create new parkland, would be a tragic loss for the State and City."
Public support for reuse of the High Line as an elevated greenway has soared in recent months. The New York City Council unanimously voted its support for preserving and reusing the High Line in 2001, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg supported the concept in Reclaiming the High Line, a reuse study published in February 2002. In April 2002, Mayor Bloomberg announced a feasibility study for the walkway proposal. The study, which includes a structural analysis, cost estimates, and projections of public benefits to be derived from adaptive reuse, is expected to finish in mid-September.
New York City Council Speaker Gifford Miller, a leading supporter of the High Line walkway plan, said, "Friends of the High Line's filing is an essential step forward in one of the most innovative urban planning initiatives this city has ever seen. By dynamically linking historic preservation, open-space creation, and economic development, converting the High Line will serve our city for years to come. It's the kind of illustrious vision that the world expects from New York and that our residents deserve."
In April 2002, Honorable Justice Diane A. Lebedeff of the Supreme Court of the State of New York found that CPO's plan to demolish the High Line was undertaken in violation of lawful procedure and was an error of law." In her ruling, Justice Lebedeff affirmed the arguments of FHL, the New York City Council, the Manhattan Borough President, and six Chelsea residents and business owners, that demolition plans had unlawfully skirted ULURP (Uniform Land Use Review Procedure), a City Charter-mandated public review process. The decision is currently on appeal, with court arguments expected this fall.
"This small group of self-interested speculators have repeatedly used back-room procedures in their attempt to rob New Yorkers of this resource," said Hammond. "They tried to sneak through a demolition agreement right before Christmas, and now, in the dog days of summer, they try to get a federal stamp of approval for the agreement, which was created in violation of lawful procedure and is missing essential signatures. As a community-based group deeply concerned with historic preservation, open-space creation, and the economic health of our neighborhood, it's FHL's duty to defend the public's right to reclaim a monumental structure its tax dollars helped build."
The High Line was erected in the 1930s as part of the $175 million West Side Improvement Project. Trains stopped running on it in 1980. It is currently 1.45 miles long and has 6.7 acres of open space atop its elevated rail bed. The National Trails Systems Act of 1983 permits its out-of-use rail easement to be converted to a public trail. Similar rails-to-trails initiatives have created over 11,000 miles of rail-trails nationwide.
Friends of the High Line formed in 1999 with the mission of converting the High Line to an elevated walkway. In February 2002, FHL released Reclaiming the High Line, the first reuse study for the structure, which was conducted with the Design Trust for Public Space and published by AOL Time Warner. The group is now conducting its part of the City-led feasibility study, due mid-September. In addition, they are preparing the launch of an international design competition, which will begin this winter.
In July 2002, FHL held its second annual summer benefit, which was chaired by Edward Norton and Martha Stewart and attended by Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Danny DeVito, Christopher Meloni, and numerous artists, architects, community members, and elected officials. Efforts to preserve and reuse the High Line as an elevated walkway are supported by, among others, New York City Council Speaker Gifford Miller, Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, City Council Member Christine Quinn, Representative Jerrold Nadler, U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, State Senator Thomas Duane, State Senator Eric Schneiderman, State Assembly Member Deborah Glick, and State Assembly Member Richard Gottfried.

Taylor Hall has been cleared to play and will likely suit up for the Oklahoma City Barons on Friday.
Hall had been recovering from a shoulder injury that cut his NHL campaign short by 11 games last season.
The 20-year-old had been practicing with the Barons, the Edmonton Oilers' AHL affiliate, and recently returned to Edmonton to get final clearance to suit up with Oklahoma City. There, he'll join other young Oilers players in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, and Justin Schultz.
According to reports from KGHM 1340 in Oklahoma City, Hall will initially suit up on a line with Nugent-Hopkins and Eberle. The former first-round pick will, however, be held out of back to back games to begin with.
In two NHL seasons, Hall has 49 goals and 95 points in 126 games. Both seasons were cut short due to injury.
