Agoraphobia is an intense fear and anxiety of being in places where it is hard to escape, or where help might not be available. Agoraphobia usually involves fear of crowds, bridges, or of being outside alone.
Agoraphobia; Anxiety disorder- agoraphobia
The exact cause agoraphobia is unknown. Agoraphobia sometimes occurs when a person has had a panic attack and begins to fear situations that might lead to another panic attack.
With agoraphobia, you avoid places or situations because you do not feel safe in public places. The fear is worse when the place is crowded.
Symptoms of agoraphobia include:
Physical symptoms can include:
The health care provider will look at your history of agoraphobia, and will get a description of the behavior from you, your family, and friends.
The goal of treatment is to help you feel and function better. The success of treatment usually depends in part on how severe the agoraphobia is.
Treatment approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with an antidepressant medication, which may include any of the following:
CBT involves 10 to 20 visits with a mental health professional over a number of weeks. CBT helps you change the thoughts that cause your condition. It may involve:
You may also be slowly exposed to the real-life situation that causes the fear to help you overcome it.
A healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, enough rest, and good nutrition can also help be helpful.
Most patients can get better with medications or behavioral therapy. Without early and effective help, the disorder may become more difficult to treat.
Some persons with agoraphobia may:
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of agoraphobia.
Early treatment of panic disorder can often prevent agoraphobia.

Hello guys, one more time here posting some samples of my work.
I'm from Rio de Janeiro,
and lately I've been doing wedding documentatio in panorama format.
On this particular one I delivered 28 panos already, but the bride loved all them and wants more,
so I'll be stiching some more, and making more money of course :-)
Pls , if have the time, stop by and take a look at: http://migre.me/cyYq
Do put the volume ON, and listen to the real audio from the exactly same moment the photo was shot.
Thanks in advance for any comments on my blog too :-)

Autocomplete in combobox
Is it possible a combobx, which fetches data from server, is able to auto-complete the user typing?
I tried with the local store, it works well. So I think I might miss something there.
andy idea?

|Econo Rules
|| Print |
|I-76 Speedway Races - Rules
The "Econo" class is just that - an economy class, designed as an entry level class for the amateur or beginning driver. It is intended to be a cost effective means for the amateur driver to experience the fun and excitement of circle track racing.
This class is for the basic "stock car." Only minor modifications may be made. The Econo class is open to any American-made, steel-bodied production automobile or station wagon from 1955 up. Cars in the Econo class must have a wheel base of 108" or longer (No Camaros, Firebirds, Mustangs, compacts, convertibles, or 4-wheel drive vehicles allowed.) Cars must be strictly stock, excluding the following rules. GM sub frame cars such as Nova's, Omega's, Apollo's, and Ventura's, WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.
1) BODIES: The drivers and passengers side doors may have the inner panels removed for roll bar clearance only! Roof inner panels may be trimmed only for roll bar clearance. Hood and trunk lids may not be gutted or lightened. No hood scoops or holes in hood for air cleaner. Inner front fender wells (splash pans) may be removed. Fenders and quarter panels may be trimmed for tire clearance. Material may be removed from stock wheel well radius. Any openings to the interior or trunk area from wheel wells must be closed off. Sharp metal edges must be rolled or reworked where trimmed. Doors must be bolted, plated or welded shut. Hoods and deck lids must be pinned for easy access in case of fire. No sharp edges anywhere on car; bumpers or fenders; your racing will be suspended immediately until problem is repaired. All cars should be brightly painted and bodies kept in good condition throughout the season. No rear view mirrors or two-way radios allowed. If you run a plastic nose piece, you must run a stock bumper behind it with extra bracing behind the stock bumper only.
2) NUMBERS: Car registration numbers must be obtained at a cost of $30.00 per car, and the application form properly filled out and returned to I-76 Speedway before being allowed to compete. Car numbers must be neatly painted (no spray cans) in contrasting colors, must be at least 20" high on both sides, on top of car (readable from right side), and on left front headlight panel or front edge of hood on left side (at least 4" high).
3) INTERIORS: All upholstery, wiring and glass must be removed, including headlights, tail lights, chrome trim and anything else that may come loose and become hazardous. Dashboards may be removed. If removed, all sharp edges must be rolled or rounded off (this goes for all sharp edges in interior). All unnecessary holes or openings in front and rear firewalls must be closed off or covered securely with sheet metal. Original seats must be removed and replaced with one sturdy bucket type seat properly fastened to the roll cage (not floor pan). Racing type seats optional (fiberglass seats must have plate on back mounting at least 16" x 1/8"). A fire extinguisher (2-lb or larger) must be securely mounted within reach of the driver. The driver must wear safety approved aircraft or racing type of seat belts (mounted to cage, not floor pan), shoulder harness, helmet and eye protection at all times.
4) ROLL BARS: A 4-post roll cage must be properly installed, using steel pipe or tubing 1-1/2" OD or larger, tubing must be of .095 or larger thickness, welded to the frame, or plates (6" x 6" x 3/16" minimum) welded and/or bolted to the floor pans on unibody cars. Three or more horizontal bars must be installed on driver's side, arched outwards placed between the driver and left door with several vertical braces and gussets at all welded joints. Right hand door bars optional, but must have at least two bars connecting upright bars on right side (X-configuration or whatever). All welding is to be done electrically with no galvanized pipe or threaded joints allowed. Roll bar padding mandatory near driver's head and body. Additional gusseting and triangulation of all cage construction is recommended. Six or more vertical steel bars of 3/8" or heavier spaced approximately 6" apart must be installed in the windshield opening in front of the driver for protection. No fabricated bumpers or nerf bars are allowed on the front or rear bumpers. No side kick-off bars. Reinforcement behind stock bumpers only, properly welded to the frame is allowed as long as it does not tie into the main cage. Front hoop and rear support bars optional. No bars farther forward than radiator mount. Radiator mount cannot be more than 1" in front of radiator.
5) FUEL AND SYSTEMS: Stock gas tanks may be removed and replaced with a container not to exceed 15 gallons maximum (VW Bug tank or marine boat tank works good). Must be securely mounted in trunk area. All fuel lines should run under car. If run inside of car, line must be sealed in conduit from front to rear firewall.

A $250 fee will be required for pulling a head to check for legal bore and stroke combinations. ($50 will go to I-76 for use of equipment and labor.) If found illegal or if driver refuses tear-down, driver will lose points and money for the night. On second offense, driver will not be allowed to compete for remainder of the season. Any unsportsmanlike conduct or complaining about being torn down by driver, owner or crew will be treated as a refusal and the same penalties will apply.
14) ALL DRIVERS in all divisions must wear an approved firesuit, fireproof underwear, helmets and eye protection while on the race track.
NOTE: The intent of these rules is to provide a measure of equality and comparable equipment on all cars at a reasonable cost. All cars must pass a safety inspection before being allowed to run in competition. Any modifications, changes or alterations not specifically stated in these rules will be illegal. I-76 officials shall determine who is eligible and who is not. Final judgments on any points not covered in these rules will be left up to the discretion of the I-76 officials or track management. With I-76 officials' consent, a new car can run at least one time before conforming to I-76 Speedway rules.

Can I glue circular pieces of some sort of uneven tiny metal heads, on every other knob of my mountain bike tyre, to bike in winter with snow and ice? If glue sounds too naive to some, there are some really professional hard to undo glues out there today, like those used in contruction work, that are super strong and anti-corrosion and sort of can be molded even and when dried they are like rock.

If you have disc brakes you can use zip ties to create a cheap studded tire and can remove the zip ties when you're done. Get long enough zip ties to go around your tire and rim. Because of this, it will not work with rim based brakes.
I am nearly certain the answer is no. Any metal or hard plastic will flex very little compared to the rubber of the tire, which flexes more than you think. There is no glue I have ever heard of or used, including the Gorilla glues and epoxies, that would ever hold these two together - it'd essentially have to be so strong that the rubber won't flex under your weight as you ride, and unless it's top secret I'd just sum it up to be: that doesn't exist and probably never will.
I'd even go further and say even if you got them joined, it wouldn't be a very good or effective tire. If money's really that tight, look for used studded tires on craigslist or eBay - some will be half retail, at least, and may actually help your traction.
Drilling, however, is not hard. You select a screw that protrudes from the lug by the amount you want (1/8" or so for a bicycle would be appropriate), screw it in with a drill from the outside so there's a hole on the inside, then screw it through from the inside out. Then you need to line the inside with rim tape so that the screw heads don't pop your inner tube, but if you do this yourself, they probably will (there aren't enough tire/metal bands like a motorcycle/vehicle tire to keep the screws in place, they'll start pushing into the tube and eventually get through).
In my opinion, neither option is good, or would do anything for your traction besides waste your time.
The problem IMO will be that you need a glue that flexes with the rubber tyre. A rigid glue will just break off taking some of the rubber from the tyre with it. But given a flexible glue that bonds to the rubber and fills the space between tyre and metal object, I think it could work. I'm imagining something like the sealant glues that come in a sealant gun, rather than a cyanoacetate type super glue. The ones used to glue concrete together, for example, that have to fill gaps as well as adhere.
The metal bits will be more of a problem I think. You need a good area for the glue to stick to, but you also need sharp edges to grip the snow. So just attaching 10mm washers flat on the tyre probably won't help. I suspect you'll end up gluing screws across the tyre to more or less match the way the DIY screw tyres work. I suggest covering the screw with glue, then let the glue wear away from the outside when it hits the track. I'd be tempted to start by trying a few screws with each type of glue that I had available just to see whether any of them work at all. And whether you can ride the bike with this setup.
Usual caveats apply: I haven't done this, I doubt it will work, but this seems to be to be the approach least unlikely to fail.
When I was in Hokkaido, Japan (Very cold, almost no snow removal) I saw a few guys that screwed screws through their knobs. It seemed to work pretty well. They protected the tube by putting Mr.Tuffy's in there as well. It might work better and last longer than glue.
There's a video here of a guy putting studs on ATV tires. They just screw into the tire knobs. I imagine this would be much harder on a bicycle (since the tread is much thinner and you have less room for error) but not impossible.
I would forget about adhesives - you need something that sticks to the tread with just mechanical friction.

Prove that doesn't exist $N\in\mathbb{N}$ with property: for all primes $p>N$ exist $n\in\{3, 4,\ldots, N\}$ such that $n, n-1, n-2$ are quadratic residues modulo $p$.
By Dirichlet's theorem, there exists $p>N$ such that each prime $l\leq N$, with the exception of $l=3$, satisfies $(l/p) = (l/3)$. I claim that this $p$ is a counterexample. Indeed by multiplicativity $(m/p) = (m/3)$ for each $m \leq N$ that is not a multiple of 3. In particular $(m/p) = -1$ if $m \equiv -1 \bmod 3$. Each triple $\{ n, n-1, n-2 \}$ with $n \leq N$ contains one such $m$, and therefore cannot comprise three quadratic residues of $p$, QED.
What's the context? Seems rather tricky for homework; hope it's not a problem from an ongoing contest...
[Added later] In fact this seems to be the only construction, in the following sense:
For example, if $l \in \lbrace 2, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 \rbrace$ then we can take $N=121$. For $19 \leq l \leq 43$ we can use $N = 325$, and $N = 376$ works for $l=47$ and several larger $l$.
This can be checked as follows. For a positive integer $n$ let $s(n)$ be the unique squarefree number such that $n/s(n)$ is a square; e.g. for $n=24,25,26,27,28$ we have $s(n)=6,1,26,3,7$ respectively. Then $(n/p) = (s(n)/p)$ for all $p>n$. Given a small set $S$ of primes containing $l$ and a bound $N$, let $\cal N\phantom.$ be the set of all $n \in \lbrace 3, 4, \ldots, N \rbrace$ such that each of $s(n)$, $s(n-1)$, and $s(n-2)$ is a product of primes in $S$. Now try all $2^{|S|}$ ways to assign $\pm 1$ to each $(l'/p)$ with $l' \in S$, and see which ones make at least one of $s(n),s(n-1),s(n-2)$ a quadratic nonresidue for each $n \in \cal N$.
For $S = \lbrace 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 \rbrace$ and $N = 121$, we compute $${\cal N} = \lbrace 3, 4, 5, \ldots, 17, 18, 22, 26, 27, 28, 34, 35, 36, 50, 51, 52, 56, 65, 66, 100, 121 \rbrace,$$ and find that the only choices that work are the two that make $(l/p) = (l/3)$ for each $l \in S - \lbrace 3 \rbrace$.
Then if we put $l=19$ into $S$ and increase $N$ to $325$ we find that ${\cal N} \ni 325$, with $323 = 17 \cdot 19$, $324 = 18^2$, and $325 = 13 \cdot 5^2$. So the only way to avoid $(323/p) = (324/p) = (325/p) = 1$ is to make $(19/p) = +1$. We then incorporate $l=23$ by considering $n=92$, and $l=29$ using $n=290$, "etc." Computation suggests that there are lots of choices to make this work once we get past $l=19$, but I don't know how feasible it might be to prove this.
[The exhaustive computation over $2^{|S|}$ choices of $(l'/p)$ is what led me to the pattern $(l/p) = (l/3)$ in the first place. Once only two choices remained for $S = \lbrace 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 \rbrace$ I thought that a few more primes might whittle it down to zero and disprove the claim, but I kept seeing only two choices that differed only in the value of $(3/p)$, and the pattern in the other $(l/p)$ values soon became clear.]
This is Theorem 2 in D. Lehmer & E. Lehmer, On runs of residues, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 13, No. 1 (Feb., 1962), 102-106. The proof there uses quadratic reciprocity and Dirichlet's Theorem on primes in arithmetic progression. They also deal with similar problems for k-th powers.

Overusing the bully label
A Florida mother was arrested this month for allegedly stabbing her two sons' bullies in the back with box cutters. News reports stated that after calming down an altercation between her sons and a group of boys, the mother reignited the situation and attacked the boys, sending two to the hospital.
Last year, a teenage boy posted something nasty and hurtful in response to a teenage girl's Facebook posting. The girl was distraught, contemplated hurting herself and complained to her mother that she had been bullied. This caused the mother to become distraught. A short time later, police say, the mother saw the boy in a mall and took matters into her own hands, literally. She allegedly choked him.

Jay Arneson, the authorities had no reason to

The sisters wrote. that the Amesons owned ''EH

worried because they hadn't heard from Mildred,.
nor had her mother, for several months. . .
When deputies visited the motel the)' found Iva

Kroeger had the deed to sbow. 11 all looked legal.
But Mildred Arneson's sisters were p~rsistent.

There are few methods like Copeland-Antikarov, Herath-Park, Cobb-Charnes etc. to compute project volatility, however these methods compute upward biased volatility. What is the best method I could use to compute project volatility for real option valuation?
There are two main approaches:
Here's a link to a paper that provides a technique for estimating volatility for real options:
Generally comparables is the preferable approach in real options, provided that you have a large enough historical sample. In most cases, however simulation is used as 'true' comparables are notoriously difficult to find en masse.

As improvements to backpack blowers narrowed the performance gap to their wheeled cousins, manufacturers of wheel blowers did little to improve performance and operation of their products. That's all now changed.
Conceived through market research and hours of exhaustive computer optimization, the FORCE blower represents a truly revolutionary design. Steel had to go, it is too heavy. Plastic is in it's light and it's plenty durable.
The FORCE weighs up to 17 pounds less than comparably powered steel competitors, it remains the quietest wheel blower, and it is tuned to produce unmatched blowing power. What more could you ask for?
Billy Goat has successfully made the wheel blower once again an indispensable tool for the landscape contractor and large property owner.

With SharePoint 2010, we've noticed that the left-side navigation from the master page limits us to two levels -- "Add Heading" and "Add Link." We'd like to have a menu on the left that has at least one more level, like "Add Sub-Link". Are there ways to do this while not changing the master page?
Also, if we have a link that's related to that section of the site but not on the menu, if we navigate to it, the left navigation highlights the root item. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

| Ben DuBose, Hydrocarbon Processing,
Dr. Moayyed Al-Qurtas, vice chairman of The National Industrialization Company of Saudi Arabia, better known as Tasnee, said new projects have become much more sophisticated and demanding.
By Ben DuBose
Online Editor
HOUSTON -- The next step in the evolution of the Middle East
petrochemical sector will be
expanding beyond olefins, aromatics and chlorine and into
specialty chemicals and performance polymers, an industry
executive said Wednesday.
Speaking at the IHS World Petrochemical Conference, Dr.
Moayyed Al-Qurtas, vice chairman of The National
Industrialization Company of Saudi Arabia, better known as
Tasnee, told attendees that new projects have become considerably
more sophisticated and demanding.
New products and technologies are being introduced which
include more sophisticated chemicals and are not limited to
commodities, Dr. Al-Qurtas said.
The region could be a good base for selected
intermediate, specialty chemicals and export-oriented
downstream plastics, he added.
Dr. Al Qurtas cited three regional complexes as examples of
this philosophy -- Tasnees Al-Jubail complex that began
in 2004, Sabics Saudi Keyan project launched in 2009, and the
Sadara Chemicals venture of Aramco and Dow Chemical slated to
start up in 2014.
As a result, over the next five years, he envisions the
Middle East industry realizing its potential in specialty
chemicals like flame retardants, formulated specialties such as
water treatment chemicals and lubricants, performance polymers
like engineering plastics, and services including
logistics/shipping and wastewater treatment.
This will stimulate downstream industries, Dr.
Al-Qurtas said. Were seeing a significant capacity
buildup in the pipeline, increasing the [Middle East] share in
global production and trade.
He cited Middle East competitive advantages such as
world-scale plants and modern technology, proximity to export
markets, and world-class infrastructure as development
In addition, growth in the region and neighboring countries
is far higher than mature economies such as Europe.
Demographic trends are favorable and expected to continue,
Dr. Al-Qurtas said, leading to high growth in the
infrastructure, construction, housing and health
care sectors and boosting demand for related products.
Furthermore, in contrast to locations such as the US, newer
Middle East projects are moving toward cracking
heavier feedstocks such as naphtha. This
could raise co-product volumes such as propylene, butadiene and

Americas in downtown Houston.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

You've got no competition in this category!! Change is
good!! I changed & I'll always use this
"Thank you so much for your great product, Oramd is
the first thing I've tried that worked almost
immediately to get rid of the bad breath I was
suffering. I've been using it now for 3 weeks and the
difference is remarkable. Thank you once again"
"Customer service was friendly, prompt and
"I have been very please and surprised at how well
this product works. I now have my family using this. I
have spent a life time dealing with allergic reaction
to toothpaste...now I have no issues and my gums are
clearing up. Thank you!"
"You truly have a miracle product on your hands. God
bless you for sharing it with the public, and at such
a fair price. I no longer feel I have to spend so much
of my hard-earned money in order to have healthy teeth
and gums!"
"I've now been using Oramd for, heck I can't remember
how long, but I've been to the dentist twice since I
started. Both times my dentist has told me how
wonderful my teeth and gums look...Since starting to
use OraMD, I have had no problems and my mouth feels
healthy and fresh."
"I feel confident at all times about both my breath
and the overall health of my mouth. The product is
truly what it said it is. And more. Thank you. You've
got a customer for life."
"My husband and I both went to have our routine teeth
cleaning yesterday & I asked the Dentist if she
noticed any change in my teeth. She said "there is a
lot less plaque, what are you doing?" She then cleaned
my husband's teeth & asked him if he was using the
same product on his teeth as she noticed the reduction
of plaque on him as well. We have actually both become
addicted to it. We no longer use mouthwash as it is
just not needed. I now feel like my teeth are really
being cleaned when I brush my teeth."
What can I say about Oral MD other than the fact that
it works very well. At first it had a bitter taste but
after using the product for a couple of weeks the
taste became rather pleasant. My gums had been
bleeding on and off these last few months but after
using Oral MD for about three weeks the bleeding has
almost totally stopped. I would certainly recommend
this product to anyone is fighting to save their

care, I feel this is the best product I have ever
found in my 50 years on this planet. Good luck to you
and yours.
i must say, oramd has been working very well. it has
not cured my gum desease due to the late stage, but it
has prevented it from becoming any worse,and thats
fine with me. its almost done, so i should be
reordering soon. thanks for the great product, an im
sure that their are many other satisfied customers out
there. thanks again.
I was expecting something akin to a toothpaste and was
initially surprised at the strong taste, with no foam
or bubbles one gets with a typical toothpaste. I
stayed with it, and after a couple of days I was
delighted. After brushing, my teeth feel clean and
plaque free, and my mouth and breath feel clean and
fresh. My gums are healthier and I'm confident that
continued use of OraMD will help prevent gum disease.
Thanks for a great product OraMD.
Since using your product noticed great improvement in
gums, less affected by bleeding of the gums due to
sensitive teeth, have been using the product for 3
months and have definetly recommended it to
I just got your product, and after only 4 days of use

Mathematically speaking, what does it mean to say that a physical quantity is some numerical value with a "dimension" associated with it? When we say that the velocity of light is some constant, c meters per second, at first thought, it seems that we are talking about a ratio of differentials, $v=dx/dt$. But what about the "dimension" of angular momentum, ${mass} \times {length}^2/{time}$? I've never seen a differential of mass in a total derivative... $L=dmdx^2/dt$ ! Or what about the "dimension" of electrical resistance, ${time}/{length}/{permittivity}$? I've never seen a differential of permittivity, either. So, the idea that a "dimension" might be just a total derivative just doesn't seem to make sense, because the number of differentials in the numerator and denominator is not always equal.
So, what is the mathematical nature of this beast we call a "dimension"?

Suppose $M$ and $M'$ are two $R$-moules (I am most interested in the case of $R$ a DVR). If $M\otimes M'$ is a semi-simple module (i.e., every submodule is a direct summand) then is it true that the tensor factors $M$ and $M'$ are semi-simple ?
I.e., if this is not true then it would be nice to see a counter-example.

With US Coast Guard approval, BP deployed remotely operated vehicles and successfully installed a 750-lb cap over an opening on the cofferdam known as the stovepipe and secured it in place with clamps. Initial inspections of the cap and plugs have observed no oil droplets.
By ALISON SIDER
BP said Thursday that it capped and plugged a containment dome
left on the sea floor during the Deepwater Horizon disaster,
thought to be the source of an oil sheen first spotted last
month on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.
The oil and gas company said it used remote-controlled
underwater vehicles to clamp down a 750-pound cap over the
dome's stovepipe and plugged four small connection ports on the
top and sides of the dome in a 26-hour operation that began
"Initial visual inspections of the cap and plugs have
observed no oil droplets emanating from any of the openings,"
the company said in a release, adding it would continue to
monitor the sheen by satellite for several days.
The US Coast Guard had directed BP and Transocean to
figure out where the oil sheen came from after samples of the
slick matched oil that gushed from the well after the Deepwater
Horizon rig exploded in 2010. The sheen was first reported by
BP on Sept. 16.
Last week, remote-controlled submarines combing the area
around the well and nearby wreckage spotted small drops of oil
coming from openings in the dome and determined they were the
cause of the sheen on the surface, BP said Thursday.
The 40-foot-tall dome was used in an attempt to stem the
flow of oil coming from BP's well after the 2010 Deepwater
Horizon spill. It was meant to collect oil and allow it to flow
to the surface, but the dome got clogged with ice
The flow of oil from the well was stopped in July of 2010, and
the dome now rests about 1,500 feet from BP's well on the sea
BP also said Thursday that it has inspected the well and two
nearby relief wells and confirmed that they aren't leaking. The
wells were permanently sealed in September 2010, and BP said
the most recent inspections were the third time the seal's
integrity has been confirmed.
The operation to plug the containment dome was observed by
representatives from the Coast Guard and federal regulatory
agencies, according to a news release from the federal
spill-response coordinator Thursday.

A searchable database of project activity in the global hydrocarbon processing industry
Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Given two circles, one of radius 1, and another of radius 2, and the distance between the centers is 4, what is set of points that are equidistant from the two circles?
Now I think naturally the first thing to do is to solve an easier problem, so if one matches the radii, then the set of points that are equidistant is just a straight line that is exactly half-way in between them. I'm thinking of what happens when we increase the radius of one of them, the line somehow rotates towards the circle with the smaller radius, and the line also becomes closer to the circle of the larger radius. Is my intuition correct here?

6 Animals That Just Don't Give A F#@k
#3. Tasmanian Devil
The Tasmanian devil is nearly identical to the wolverine in pop culture: We know that they're smallish mammals known for their viciousness and fury. And, once again, we see that they are substantially more wuvable than we've been led to believe -- just look at that little guy! Is he wearing a wee cardigan? How precious! We'll call him Trevor and pretend he enjoys tennis!
And then again, just like the wolverine, the Tasmanian devil has to go and ruin the snuggle-fest by opening its mouth and turning into the fucking Sarlacc.
But we're not here to repeat ourselves. The devil isn't here for its fighting ability; it's here because it eats literally everything: It devours its kills whole, bones, fur and all. Here are some other things that have been found in Tasmanian devil poo: pencils, plastic, collars, tags of devoured pets, echidnas -- spikes and all -- and blue jeans. The only logical conclusion, on that last one, being that it either ate the pants off of one very terrified Tasmanite, or it ate everything but the shirt off of one very dead Tasmanite. Tasmanian devils even bite through metal traps, and not because they're stuck in them. Just fucking because.
Some people keep Tasmanian devils on them at all times for occasions like this.
"What is this, some kind of steel blade? Looks delicious," says the Tasmanian devil. "Don't mind if I do."
Once they do tuck in to a meal, they can eat anywhere between five percent to 40 percent of their body weight in one sitting, after which they are too bloated and tired to move, so they just go to sleep -- with complete disregard for their surroundings. That is how few fucks the Tasmanian devil will give: If you're standing there, helplessly watching while a Tasmanian devil eats your kid brother, it absolutely will not stop ... until it's full. Then it will lie down and take a nap immediately after, even with you still right there, screaming.
It might ask you to keep it down, but that is the extent of its concern with you.
#2. Cane Toad
In the study of animals, there's something called Davian behavior, which is just the polite way Science says "animal necrophilia." But this behavior is often a mistake -- some dumb, horny animal not realizing that hot piece of tail is more lukewarm, and literally just a tail. The behavior is rarely ever habitual, and even more rarely intentional.
They have no boundaries
And then there's the cane toad: Not only will they regularly have sex with dead bodies, but they'll even make sweet love to corpses outside of their species. Not just different types of frog, mind you, but animals that in no way could ever be mistaken as a former cane toad: Snakes, lizards, small mammals -- the cane toad is a firm believer in the "hole is a hole" attitude, and an even firmer believer in the "if there's no hole, just make one with your boner" attitude. There has been at least one recorded attempt of a cane toad to mate with a long-deceased female that had been completely flattened by a car ... for eight straight hours!
In conclusion, here's a cane toad raping a dead salamander. You're welcome.
#1. Honey Badger
Let's do the wolverine-style breakdown again. Pictured above: Snuggles incarnate. We'd name him George Clooney and feed him a diet of peanut butter and hugs.
Now, murder from concentrate:
Oh, and hugging is a bad idea; they attack the testicles first. That's just how the honey badger rolls. Here are other ways the honey badger rolls:
In that one, short video, you can see a honey badger chasing a leopard away and climbing a tree just to attack a cobra -- presumably because it looked at him funny. But the perfect example of the honey badger's inability to give one hot shit comes around 2:15 into the video: One particular honey badger got hungry, so he went to find a nice meal. Now, he could snuffle around in the dirt all night, looking for the safest food source, but that sounds hard, and it might take a while. So instead, he opts to piss all over the very concept of survival instincts, and just eats the first damn thing he comes across. Unfortunately, it happens to be a puff adder -- one of the deadliest snakes in the world.
The badger stumbles across the snake midway through its own meal, so what's a badger to do? Why, steal the food straight from the death-serpent's jaws, of course, and then sit down to eat the snake's stolen meal right in front of him, while he furiously spits and hisses. When the badger finishes the snake's dinner, he's still a bit peckish, so he walks right over to the still-furious snake and mauls it to death, sustaining multiple bites in the process. Ignoring the deadly poison coursing through his veins, the badger settles in and starts eating the puff adder. Tragically, a few minutes later, he collapses.
And so ends the story of this honey badger, who died as he lived, spitting in the face of mortalit- what's that? He's back up? Holy shit! Two hours pass, and the badger miraculously resurrects himself from apparent death! He's been given a second chance at life! A second chance to ...
Go right back and continue eating that snake.

December 22, 2010
The National Institutes of Health has awarded New York University Silver School of Social Work Professor Vincent Guilamo-Ramos and Visiting Professor James Jaccard two major grants for research on inner-city Latino and African American adolescent sexual behavior. Both projects will study teenagers and their families in the Bronx.
The first grant—$2.6 million over five years—will fund a large scale randomized clinical trial designed to prevent or reduce sexual activity of inner-city teens. The novel approach draws upon the collaborative efforts of social workers, pediatricians, and parents. Coordinated by social work interventionists, the study includes an initial intervention with adolescents and their mothers during annual physicals conducted at a community health care clinic. A social worker will meet with the teen's mother and will share specific strategies for talking about delaying sexual behavior and reducing risk with their child. By the end of the research, Guilamo-Ramos hopes to further develop a practical, effective, and cost-efficient intervention that will reach large numbers of adolescents through health care settings. The research has important applied implications for social workers, pediatricians, and other adolescent health care providers.
A second grant—$3.1 million over five years—will examine how family influences the formation of romantic relationships in adolescents. Specifically, the research will explore partner selection and parental messages conveyed to youth about preferred partner characteristics. Using a prospective research design, Guilamo-Ramos and his research team will interview 16- to 18-year-old couples and their parents to forecast the couple's sexual behavior. Jaccard, an internationally recognized expert in attitude change and decision-making as applied to young adolescents, will closely consult with Guilamo-Ramos' research team. By shedding light on adolescent couples and familial influences of romantic partner formation the study will inform parent-based interventions designed to address adolescent couples and sexual risk behavior.
"The disproportionate impact of negative health outcomes associated with sexual behavior on Latino and African American youths demands approaches that address adolescents within the context of their families and integrate the prevention of adolescent pregnancy, HIV, and other STIs," said Guilamo-Ramos. "While oftentimes not seen as part of the public health response to adolescent sexual risk behavior, social workers are uniquely positioned to deliver interventions and programmatic efforts that derive their effectiveness from a focus on key socio-cultural and contextual influences."

"What concerns me the most is the lack of transparency," City Councilman Bruce Harrell said during Wednesday's meeting.
Harrell pressed police commanders to explain the breakdowns that allowed back-clad anarchists to run unchecked through downtown streets.
He also wants to know why police took 11 months to issue an after-action report, even though he'd been asking for it from the get go.
"I am very sorry that this has turned into a finger pointing exercise, because that's not the intent of an after-action report," said police chief John Diaz.
Three separate reports have since been made public. They blame commanders for issuing confusing instructions and adopting crowd-control techniques without properly training officers.
"There were a lot of things that we were not prepared to do, that we had not been trained to do," said Lt. Eric Sano with the Seattle Police Management Association.
The police union representative said the May Day reports fail to identify the real man in charge as assistant chief Mike Sanford, who had to be rescued by his own officers when he charged into the crowd.
Instead, Capt. Joe Kessler shouldered much of the blame for the day's events.
"As a union we didn't want to see our member be pilloried like this in the press when he wasn't at fault," Sano said.
Police also detailed the changes they've made for this year's May Day under Capt. Chris Fowler. Everything from roll-call instructions to the use of uniformed and undercover officers is being reworked so people can exercise their civil liberties safely.
"We're not looking for fall guys. We're not looking to push the blame. We're looking for transparency and to improve our systems," Harrell said.

Men's Cross Country Selected to Finish Third in SAC Preseason PollAugust 21, 2014
ROCK HILL, S.C. – After earning third place at last season's South Atlantic Conference Championships, the Anderson men's cross country team has been predicted to finish third in the 2014 preseason coaches' poll, as released by the league office Thursday morning.
With just two upperclassmen and five sophomores on the roster, the Trojans captured the third slot with 95 points, behind 17-time defending conference champion Mars Hill, which tallied 120 points and 10 first-place votes, and Queens. Following Queens' impressive second-place outing in its inaugural season in the SAC, the Royals claimed the second slot behind MHU, with a pair of first-place votes and 112 points.
The Trojans' lone senior, Joshua Visi-Clark, posted a season-best in late September at the Charlotte Invitational, while graduate student Westley Wilson posted a personal-best time at the Royals Challenge.
Sophomore Ben Boerma paced the Trojans at the Charlotte Invitational with his season-best time and was less than three seconds from earning the fifth and final spot for all-freshman accolades at the 2013 South Atlantic Conference Championships. Fellow sophomore Michael Burch closed the season on a strong note, garnering a season-best time at the league championships, while Thomas Garrigan posted back-to-back personal-bests at the Royals Challenge and at the SAC Championships.
Classmate Ned Kennedy also posted a new personal best effort at the Royals Challenge and sophomore Jesse Patrick notched his personal best at the Charlotte Invitational.
Brevard and Lincoln Memorial each garnered 80 points, tying for the fourth spot after Brevard edged LMU for fourth at the 2013 championships. After finishing no lower than fourth over the past decade, Wingate slipped to sixth last season and appeared in sixth in the preseason poll at No. 6, while gathering 78 points. Lenoir-Rhyne was seventh in the poll with 68 points, followed by Carson-Newman, Tusculum and Coker.
Catawba and Newberry rounded out the poll at 11th and 12th, respectively.

Despite a series of missteps and a federal investigation of a major donor to his campaign, Ohio State Treasurer and U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel (R) is holding steady, due in part to a mountain of outside money coming to his rescue, Politico reports. "Behold the post-Citizens United era of unlimited outside spending, where even a blunder-prone candidate can stay in the game if there's sustained firepower trained against his opponent."
Last Thursday, Ohio State Treasurer and U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel (R) "said he was a fresh face to national politics who would combat insiders and lobbyists that he thinks have hurt jobs and families in Ohio."
Yesterday, though, his position on lobbyists and insiders was probably a bit more nuanced—he was raising money from them in Washington, D.C.

My oven has a convenient window on it. It is very old and covered in soot. I tried what many recommendations say and used water and baking soda together, but it did not cut through the grime. Does anyone know how to get rid of this mess?
Oven cleaner will take that right off. If you're sensitive to nasty harmful fumes you can get the fume free kind.
Make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter, and make sure no kids or pets are around.
Oven windows generally have three or four layers of glass. If you want to clean stuff in between the inside and outside, you must have an appliance repair service come out and tear the door apart.
If you just want to simply clean the inside glass, you can use a thick paste made up of baking soda and water, a non-scratching rag or scouring pad, and some elbow grease This post explains it all very well:
Also, just about every oven glass has a tinting on it. Thisis the main reason you shouldn't use a scouring pad to clean it. Scouring pads will scratch the tint. I don't think oven cleaner is responsible for discoloring the glass. One way to know for sure, is to find and oven like yours, and look at it.
Does your oven have a cleaning cycle? I've had both good and bad experiences with cleaning cycles, but on some ovens they work quite well. Even if they don't remove all the grime, they make it much easier to remove with water and gentle cleaners.
Then again, I've used ovens where the self-cleaning cycle didn't do anything. It depends.
Depending on how dirty or modern your oven is, you'll have to balance the trade-offs of whether or not it's worth it to try cleaning it when you can buy a relatively inexpensive new oven instead. Figure out how much your time is worth, and if it's more than the cost of a new oven you probably shouldn't bother.
Now, this sounds extreme, but if you're having a lot of trouble cleaning it, this option is worth keeping in mind. New ovens are also generally more performant by providing even heating and superior self-cleaning cycles (so you won't have to worry about this ever again!)

I have a section of code that is puzzling me. I define an integer array inside an if/else statement because the length of the array depends on the length of 2 inputs to the method. My problem is that outside the if/else statement, the variable definition seems to be lost.
import java.util.Arrays;
public class test {
public String AddArrays(int [] arg1, int [] arg2) {
int L1 = arg1.length;
int L2 = arg2.length;
if (L1 > L2) {
int[] output = new int[L2];
for (int i = 0; i < L2; i++) {
output[i] = arg1[i] + arg2[i];
} else {
int[] output = new int[L1];
for (int i = 0; i < L2; i++) {
output[i] = arg1[i] + arg1[i];
String result = Arrays.toString(output);
return result;
The error I get is on the statement
String result = Arrays.toString(output); where Eclipse tells me that
output cannot be resolved to a variable.
...and by the way, yes, I know that this is not the way to add two integer arrays -- I reduced this from more complex code to demonstrate the problem!

What I want to do is make the text marque inside a fixed width div. I was thinking that I should get the element by id, get its height, and width. determine the inner divs height and width. Since the inner div would be clipped from view by the parent div because I'd use overflow: hidden; in the css rule for it. Then I would += the inner divs top value until the bottom reaches the top and then reset it so it flows smoothly. Would anyone know how to implement this? I suck at javascript animations but I'd like to stop on mouse over and resume on mouseout.
how do I make text marque?
How do intend to reset it smoothly. i ask because i imagine when you reset somehow the change will be visible to user. Instead you could try to define inner boxs with relative postion. When animation plays check if the bottom for first item has reach the top border and then move it to the bottom this way you could have a continous animation.
What is text marque..??? meet again.
What is text marque..??? meet again.
dude you thnk about using the jscrpt animation or the common html marquee?

Total has reaffirmed its partnership and financial backing
to the technology of renewable products
company Amyris, the companies said in a recent statement. Total
dedicated an $82 million funding budget over the next three
years exclusively for the deployment of Amyriss renewable
farnesene and for the production of renewable diesel and jet
fuel. Upon completion of the research and development program,
Total and Amyris intend to form a joint venture company that
would produce and market renewable diesel and/or jet fuel, as
well as nonexclusive rights to other specialty products, the
companies said.
BP has agreed to sell its 266,000-bpd Carson refinery in California and related
logistics and marketing assets in the region to Tesoro for $2.5
billion in cash. The deal value includes the estimated value of
hydrocarbon inventories and is subject to
post-closing adjustments. The company noted that the sale is
part of a previously announced plan to reshape BPs US
fuels business. BP also plans to sell its Texas City refinery,
in order to focus on its three northern US refineries, which
the company says are feedstock advantaged. Subject
to regulatory and other approvals, Tesoro will acquire the Los
Angeles-area refinery as well as the associated logistics
network of pipelines and storage terminals and the ARCO-branded
retail marketing network in Southern California, Arizona and
Nevada. The sale also includes BPs interests in
associated cogeneration and coke calcining operations. The sale
is expected to close before mid-2013. BP will sell the ARCO
retail brand rights and exclusively license those rights from
Tesoro for Northern California, Oregon and Washington and
continue to produce transportation fuels at its refinery in
Cherry Point, Washington.
Chemicals company Celanese said that a jury ruled in its
favor in litigation filed by Southern Chemical relating to the
terms of a multi-year methanol supply contract. The jury
said the contract, under which Celanese has paid Southern
Chemical about $130 million/year, should continue until its
expiration, adding that Celanese did not violate the terms of
the agreement. The contract, which expires in 2015, is valid
for Celanese operations in the US and Mexico. Celanese is the
largest methanol consumer in the US, while Southern Chemical is
the second-largest supplier (after Methanex). Under the
contract, Celanese received about 800,000 tpy of methanol from Southern Chemical.
Southern Chemical alleged that Celanese was not using the
purchased methanol solely for internal use, and was instead
shipping it to other chemical companies for more than the
contract price. Celanese officials, however, said they were
selling the material as methyl acetate and had been given
clearance to do so by the Southern Chemical president. Celanese
plans to build a 1.3-million tpy methanol plant in Clear Lake, Texas,
which would presumably replace the Southern Chemical supply
once the contract expires in 2015.
KBR and Shell Global Solutions plan to expand their
hydroprocessing technology alliance. In addition to
hydrocracking and hydrotreating, KBR will now market, sell and
provide technology and design packages for
Shells deep-flash, high-vacuum unit distillation and thermal conversion
technologies. KBR said the new alliance terms will help refinery operators that want to
improve their distillation performance to optimize assets,
minimize expenditures and capital investment and debottleneck
operations. To meet those goals, refiners can use deep-cut
vacuum distillation to maximize the
recovery of distillate from residue. The falling demand for
residue fuel oil means that refiners can use thermal conversion
technologies to convert the bottom of the barrel to higher
value products.
The US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) will pursue a full
investigation to determine the causes of the August 6 fire at
the Chevron oil refinery in Richmond, California. A CSB team of
seven investigators arrived at the refinery several days after
the fire and conducted witness interviews while reviewing
documents at the site. The fire occurred when gasoil leaked
from an 8-in. pipe connected to a crude oil distillation tower
in the refinerys crude unit. Workers
initially noted the leak and were in the process of attempting
repairs on piping connected to the still-operating crude oil distillation tower when the leak
suddenly intensified. The gasoil immediately formed a large
flammable vapor cloud. Important issues to resolve in the
investigation include understanding why the pipe that later
failed was kept in service during a late-2011 maintenance turnaround and what
procedures and industry practices exist for responding to a
leak of combustible material from a running unit. The CSB
anticipates executing a site preservation and evidence testing
agreement with Chevron and other investigative groups and
arranging for independent testing of the leaking section of
pipe to determine the failure mechanism. Both Chevron and the
United Steelworkers, which represents hourly workers at the

Kuwaits Equate Petrochemical Co. has shut down one
of its ethylene glycol units with a total capacity of
550,000 mtpy after a fire on July 31. The fire resulted from a
leak in part of a manufacturing unit. Equate said the fire was
contained and extinguished promptly, adding that production
operations of other production units were not affected. The
company anticipates that the shutdown of the damaged unit will
last six weeks.
UOP has been selected by Lukoil to provide technology to
produce blending components used to make high-octane gasoline
and petrochemicals at its facility in
Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Lukoil will license an integrated
suite of Honeywells UOP technologies to produce
high-quality gasoline blending components, propylene and other
petrochemicals, the company said.
Russia is the third largest energy consumer in the world, and
demand is growing due to increasing economic activity. The
suite of UOP technology will be used in a new
integrated fluid catalytic cracking complex. The new units,
expected to start up in 2015, will produce more than 1 million
tpy of gasoline blending components and more than 170,000 tpy
of propylene. HP

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
