6 Mental Illnesses That Only Happen in One Place on Earth
It's generally accepted that crazy is a universal phenomenon. No matter where you live in the world, you're still just a human with a human brain, and it makes sense that all brains malfunction in the same way. Sure, one guy hallucinates aliens while another sees demons, but it comes down to the same illness. But what's awesome (and terrifying) about the brain is all of the ways it defies explanation.
For instance, there is a long list of absolutely bizarre mental disorders that are extremely common in one place, and only one. Some of the weird-ass mental disorders that have popped up over time include ...
#6. Zero Stroke
After World War I, Germany experienced a period of ridiculous inflation so rapid that, reportedly, the value of a cup of coffee could double during the time it took to drink it. This also meant that everyday goods could suddenly be priced at millions or billions of marks (with salaries changing just as fast), turning price tags into utter nonsense. As a result of the sudden confusion and anxiety that accompanied every purchase ("Is 50,000 marks a lot for a can of beans?" "Well, you can get a cup of coffee for 35,000 marks -- oh, wait, they changed it again ..."), Germany saw the rise of a brand new and unique mental disorder specific to that place and time: zero stroke.

This is a million-mark bill. Being used as notepaper.
Because the value of the German currency was plummeting at such an absurd rate, everyone had to attempt to learn advanced mathematics just to calculate the cost of a loaf of bread (which at the height of the troubles could have cost thousands of billions of marks). The effect was that people actually began to grow so dizzy from all the zeros they had to write down every day that it drove them slightly crazy. Imagine being unable to sleep at night because your brain is compulsively counting dozens of zeros and you can't stop.
Cashiers, bookkeepers, and bankers were most prone to this affliction. Besides a compulsion to write endless strings of zeros, individuals who suffered from this condition would reportedly become confused when referring to numbers and would state that they were 10 billion years old or had 40 trillion children.
Education Forum
"Hey, you 3 sextillion kids back away from my money bricks! Those are for repairing the roof."
That's right; some people will be driven clinically insane if forced to do too much math.
#5. Semen Loss Syndrome
You wouldn't think it due to its struggles with overpopulation, but China has somewhat of a sexual repression problem. Cultural anxieties about sex were compounded when the communists took over with even more prudish rules about how men and women could interact with each other, and by the 1980s and '90s, thousands of people were flooding Chinese hospitals complaining of a condition called shenkui -- being so sexually frustrated that they could barely function.
"This is my O-face and my regretting-an-O-face!"
Traditionally, the Chinese believe that sexual intercourse is risky, because losing semen leads to a decrease in yang, a kind of life essence. Lose too much of it, and you might as well have lost a pint of blood. If you were ever concerned about how much you masturbated as a teenager, spare a thought for the Chinese, who may live in fear that the next wet dream could kill them. Anxiety over how much they're whacking it leads to shenkui, or semen-loss syndrome, which manifests as dizziness, back pain, fatigue, weakness, insomnia, frequent dreams, and sexual dysfunction.
Time to get rid of some yang.
Of course, you might think that this is just a silly superstition and it's all in their heads. But before you click away to the porn site that we know you have open in another tab right now, consider India. The Indians have another culturally specific syndrome that they call dhat, which is also brought on by anxiety about how much seed they're wasting into a box of tissues. The symptoms? You guessed it -- weakness, fatigue, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction.
So ... we guess what we're saying is that if you masturbate so often and so vigorously that it actually causes physical fatigue, dizziness, and back pain, please see somebody. Even if your country doesn't have a name for the disorder, it doesn't change the fact that your genitals are mere flesh and blood and have their limits. Hell, if you smack around any part of your body hard enough and long enough, you'll eventually pay the price.
#4. Arctic Hysteria
It's pretty easy to guess where you'd have to be living to fall victim to Arctic hysteria. Known to the Eskimo people as pibloktoq, incidences of this particular madness occur predominantly during winter in the coldest places on Earth, and can sometimes reach epidemic proportions. Attacks of Arctic hysteria may last for only a few minutes, but in that time, sufferers are known to start screaming incomprehensibly, strip naked and run around on the ice, and attempt superhuman feats like walking on the ceiling. And sometimes, for some reason, they eat their own poop.
Hey, we've all been there ... right?
They'll often wake up later with no memory of the whole thing, presumably wondering why their breath smells so bad. It's such a common occurrence among Eskimos for members of their tribe to start acting like they're possessed by poop-loving devils that they just leave the victims to their own devices until they snap out of it.
"Just stay in the ice circle and eat your poo, Nanook."
Although the women of the tribe have been found to be most at risk, cases of Arctic hysteria have also been recorded among stranded European explorers. There are even reports of dogs coming down with it, although we don't know how they could tell, since being naked and eating poop is not exactly unusual for dogs.
"Help! These dogs are either sick or perfectly normal!"
Natives tend to believe that the condition is a result of witchcraft, but some researchers have suggested that Arctic hysteria may be linked to an overdose of vitamin A. The Eskimo diet contains a large amount of vitamin A, and apparently the symptoms of overdoing it can be pretty similar to a case of pibloktoq. The poop eating is just a bonus.

Let $\mathscr{X}$ be a smooth DM-stack with projective coarse moduli space. I am interested in the orbifold cohomology ring $H^\mathrm{orb}(\mathscr{X})$, as defined by Chen-Ruan (for orbifolds) and Abramovich-Vistoli (algebraically). Additively, this is nothing but the ordinary cohomology of the inertia stack, but it has a funny multiplication and a funny grading.
The multiplication I think I can motivate from the point of view of GW theory: if you think (somewhat perversely) of the ordinary multiplication in the cohomology ring of a variety $X$ as arising from 3-pointed genus zero stable maps into $X$, then the multiplication in $H^\mathrm{orb}(\mathscr{X})$ should come from 3-pointed stable orbicurve maps, which it does.
The grading is the part that is a mystery to me. Or rather, I understand that it has the nice properties that the grading of the untwisted sector is the same as the usual one, and that the multiplication preserves the grading.
But I have zero intuition for why the multiplication preserves the grading -- I can read through the proofs, but it looks like magic. Is there any a priori reason to think that this is the "right" grading? I am vaguely aware that physicists have been considering the age grading for some time now, and surely they must have had some reason for this. I also know that the age grading shows up in the Riemann-Roch formula on an orbicurve -- can the age grading and/or its compatibility with the quantum product be motivated from this fact?

Structure of a von Willebrand Factor Cleaving Protease, an ADAMTS Protease Involved in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
Reviewer: Mary Kara Bucci, MD
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: December 9, 2001
Presenter: Dominic Chung
Presenter's Affiliation:
Type of Session: Plenary
Von Willebrand Factor Cleaving Protease (VWFCP) is a plasma metalloprotease that cleaves von Willebrand Factor multimer to smaller sizes. Deficiency of this protease, either congenital or associated with an auto-antibody, is associated with TTP. The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize this protease.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
Identification and characterization of VWFCP has allowed it to be mapped to specific gene located on the long arm of chromosome 9. Recognizable structural motifs within the genome provide important information on the mechanisms of action of VWFCP. The potential products of alternative splicing may have different forms in different tissues; this is currently under further study.

A BuzzDock toolbar suddenly appeared in my Chrome browser. I definitely did not install it nor do I remember installing any crapware.
It is not unknown to the internet community (Example 1, Example 2). Though it is considered annoying no one seems to think it is a security threat but I don't know where it come from so I am concerned.

He is 14 years old. I have observed in his study of mathematics, he tries for some time, but then gives up sooner than one should (if the problem seems difficult). I guess just telling him to try harder won't work (just telling it plainly doesn't seem to work anyway).
Giving up is not necessarily a bad thing, providing you are giving up on a certain approach to a problem, and not the problem altogether. Knowing when to give up, and figuring out what to try next instead are important problem solving skills. In other words, if you've been sitting there staring at a math problem for 10 minutes without success, chances are that sitting there staring at it for an hour isn't going to help.
Teach him some strategies to try when he gets stuck:
A few years ago, a study was done on students that observed student response to how they were praised about their school work. The study found that students who were praised with phrases like, "You're so smart!" or "Look how clever you are!" were more likely to give up when confronted with a problem that they found difficult. Students who were praised with phrases like, "Good work! I know that problem was really difficult, but you stuck with it and found the answer" were more likely to be more resilient, were more likely to take extra work home, and more likely to say that they enjoyed the work. You can read a quick synopsis on the article here.
Really, I think that it comes down to building self-confidence in your child--so that they believe that they can work through a difficult problem and they're not ashamed to ask for help if they get stuck.
This website has some good suggestions on helping develop a "don't give up" work ethic in your child. They suggest:
At his age, it might help to get him involved in a sport or activity that encourages and rewards perseverance. Martial arts comes to mind just off the top of my head.
It sounds like he may need help with his math, not encouragement to try harder. Just telling him to try harder isn't going to help if he doesn't understand it, so get him some help:
As to how to keep him from quitting in general, so much of it is about self confidence, building his self-confidence is key. If he learns that hard work brings success and reward then you'll get more hard work. So praise and hard work and perseverance. Start easier, than give him more and more challenging things to do, and encourage him to think of his own challenges.
Sometimes, it actually is okay to give up on something - completely. The key is knowing what you're giving up and why, and what the consequences of giving up are.
Here's the type of questions I would ask. Let's use Mathematics as an example:
I'll try to expand more on this later if I can get back to it =)
He may be lacking grit.
Here's a good pair of articles about it: Grit Is More Important Than Talent and The Dilemma of Coaching Yourself.
Here's a nice list of things to look out for to optimize your willpower. Unfortunately it's not straightforward. On the other hand, if it was easy it wouldn't be a problem :-)
I'm convinced that the human spirit is malleable and therefore with some coaching willpower can be improved, at least somewhat. Learning to cope with failure seems like a good approach.

Update, Friday, October 11, 2013 at 11:30 p.m.
A Johnson County man found guilty of killing a couple is headed to prison for a very long time. Prosecutors say the motive for murder was a Facebook feud.
After three hours of deliberation, the jury found Marvin "Buddy" Potter guilty on two counts of first degree murder for the 2012 killing of Billy Payne Jr. and Billie Jean Hayworth. Investigators say Potter murdered them because they unfriended Potter's adult daughter on Facebook.
Both family and friends were crying in court, hugging, and some say justice was served.
The judge sentenced Potter to two life sentences. A judge will decide if Potter will serve the life sentences at the same time or back-to-back in Mountain City on October 29.
Update: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.: In day four of the Facebook murder trial the prosecution rested its case and the defense got their chance to call witnesses to the stand.
The prosecution accused Marvin "Buddy" Potter of killing Billy Payne Junior and Billie Jean Hayworth.
The defense says Potter didn't kill the couple, instead saying it was someone they knew or a drug deal gone bad.
On Thursday the prosecution called Chief Deputy Joe Woodard with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
He was in the Potter home when the search warrant was issued and saw Potter's wife Barbara ripping up pictures of Billie Jean Hayworth and her friend.
Potter's older estranged daughter, Christie Groover, took the stand for the prosecution talking about her rocky relationship with her parents Barbara and Marvin Potter. Groover also talked about her sister Jenelle's mental state.
Next the state called J.D. Winebarger, who worked at a local grocery store and didn't know the Potters or the victims, but says the Potters would talk with him about the victims and their problems.
The defense then had their chance to call witnesses. Several of them talked about Payne and how they would occasionally buy pills from him.
One of Payne's friends talked about the meeting between Payne and the Potter family where they settled their differences.
David C. Williams testified, "From my observation was that if there was an issue that they would contact each other and handle it".
The defense will continue to call witnesses on Friday.
UPDATE AT 2:08: News 5 WCYB's Lyndsey Price tells us the prosecution has rested its case as of 2:00 Wednesday afternoon.
The defendant Marvin "Buddy" Potter has been read his rights. He does not have to testify in the trial, but if he wishes to do so, he can.
We are waiting for the defense to start its case. We'll continue to update you on air and online with the latest facts from the courtroom.
Testimony from the prosecution will continue Thursday in a double murder trial involving a man accused of shooting two people, because they unfriended his adult daughter on Facebook.
The highlight of testimony Wednesday came when a recorded phone call was played and in it the defendant admits he had some role in the deaths of a Mountain City couple.
On Wednesday the trial started with the defense asking Judge Jon Kerry Blackwell for mistrial after a witness did an interview with a local media outlet.
The judge Jon Kerry Blackwell called the witnesses into the courtroom and gave them a stern warning. "You can not talk to anybody else about this case nor can you grant any interviews or can you be seen on television," he said.
Jurors then began watching a nearly three hour video of Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents interviewing the defendant Marvin 'Buddy' Potter, the man who is charged with two counts of first degree murder in the deaths of Billie Jean Hayworth and Billy Payne, Jr.

Alright, so, little joke im sure everyone here knows what "rick rolling" is. I was at the library today and a buddy of mine forced the youtube link for the song into my browser window which was currently on this forum. He wont tell me how he did it. but i checked all my processes, applications were clear, and im guessing since it was an open public network that he forced it into my browser? anyone have any clue as to how he did this? Im an app developer networking isnt exactly my strong suit.
Forcing a webpage into a browser window
im an app developer...im not stupid, it wasnt my home page, i had a webpage up and was reading an article on this forum then it changed over to a rick roll....i wasnt even requesting anything on my browser
so what you're all saying is that there is no way to that he did it this way?

Home Composting
One of the loveliest aspects of nature is that everything in it has a use — the nasty, rotting zucchini as well as the lavender sprouting scented blossoms in the backyard. Home composting can take some of our leftovers, waste and unwanted extras and turn them into fertile soil to boost the productivity of gardens and landscapes. Here we show you how to make compost.
What is compost?
Compost is decomposed organic material that is produced when bacteria in soil break down garbage and biodegradable trash, resulting in a product rich in minerals that is an ideal garden or landscaping amendment.
Why compost?
• For one, it's free. You get to use kitchen waste, lawn clippings, leaves and other vegetation that would otherwise get thrown away. In fact, you might even save money on landfill fees.
• Potting mixes and soils that are rich in compost produce vigorous plants regardless of whether you're growing vegetables, growing herbs or organic rose gardening.
• Compost improves garden soil structure, texture and aeration.
• Adding compost improves soil fertility and stimulates healthy root development in plants. The organic matter provided in compost provides food for microorganisms, which keeps the soil in a healthy, balanced condition.
• Compost loosens clay soils and helps sandy soils retain water
• No need to add fertilizer — just mix compost into the soil. Compost contains nutrients that plants need for optimum growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. And it's an especially good supplier of micronutrients that are needed in small quantities such as boron, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc.
• It feels good. When else can you turn trash into treasure? Plus, scraps stay out of the landfill, reducing your footprint.
How does composting work?
You mix yard and kitchen waste in a pile or bin and provide the right conditions to encourage decomposition.
Let bacteria and fungi go to work recycling waste material into fertilizer.
Mix compost into garden soil or use it on the surface as mulch.
Sounds simple, right? Well it is. Microbes are hard at work chomping down your throwaways. You supply the organic materials, water, and oxygen. The bacteria that are already there decompose the plant material into compost. As the bacteria break down the materials they release heat, which is concentrated in the center of the pile.
So, how do I get started?
Everyone has a different level of commitment when it comes to composting. For some a rot pile in the backyard is good enough. Others want to apply the rigors of science and constant vigilance to ensure the best (and quickest) compost around. Most of us are somewhere in between. Regardless of your level of experience, Planet Natural offers a wide selection of composting bins, tumblers and supplies to get you started.
Use the steps below as a guideline for how to compost. The more you follow them, the better your finished product will be.
1.) Select a site for your pile or bin. To keep your neighbors happy, consider a discreet location. You'll also want to locate a spot with good airflow, access to water and partial shade in the summer (to keep the pile from getting too hot), but good sun in the winter (to keep the pile warm).
2.) Choose a bin. You can purchase a composter, or make your own. Rotating bins make turning your treasure easy and keeps animals out, but it is easy to make a workable bin on your own (see How to Build a Compost Bin). One simple method is to track down shipping pallets. Use one for the bottom. Pound in metal support poles and add pallets by slipping them over the support poles to make your bin's walls.
Make your pile about 3x3x3 feet. This size is big enough to create its own heat, but small enough to turn. If you are using a commercial composter you won't need to worry about the size.
3.) Add materials. Not everything can go into the compost bin; read on to find out what can and cannot be composted.

4.) Monitor temperature, aeration, moisture and the carbon to nitrogen ratio for optimum levels.
i. Temperature
The easiest way to test your compost's temperature is to stick your hand in the center of the pile. If it is hot or warm — good job. If it is the same temperature as the ambient air, the microbes have slowed down — and so has the composting process.
You can also use a compost thermometer to take your pile's temperature. A properly working compost pile will heat up to temperatures of 140-160°F. At these temperatures most pathogens and weed seeds are destroyed. When your pile is really "cooking," it can reach temperatures of up to 170°F.
Note: The composting thermometer (shown here) has three temperature zones on the dial to let you know when to turn the pile, when to add materials and when your compost is finished.
ii. Moisture
The microbes hard at work in your compost pile require just the right amount of water. Too much means organic waste won't decompose, too little and you'll kill the bacteria. Compost should feel moist, but not soaking wet — like a wrung out sponge.
Composting works best with 40-60% moisture content. More on monitoring compost moisture here.
iii. Aeration
Everyone needs to breathe, even tiny microorganisms, so make sure enough oxygen is getting into your pile by turning your compost often.
Use a compost aerator or pitchfork to mix your pile. If you are using a compost tumbler, you've got it easy. Just crank that lever.
If you are using easily compacted materials (such as ashes or sawdust) mix in coarser materials first. People who build large piles often add tree branches or even ventilation tubes vertically into different parts of the pile to be shaken occasionally, to maximize air circulation.
Tip: A compost aerator (shown here) makes it easy to turn the pile. Just jab the pointed end into the mix. As the aerator is withdrawn the hinged paddles open out, aerating and mixing the contents — without heavy lifting!
iv. Carbon to Nitrogen Ratio
For perfect compost, maintain a C:N ratio of 25 to 30 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen, or 25-30:1. If the C:N ratio is too high (not enough nitrogen) decomposition will slow down. If the C:N ratio is too low (not enough carbon) you'll end up with a smelly pile.
In general things that are brown (dried leaves, newspaper, straw) are higher in carbon than things that are green (vegetable scraps, garden waste, grass clippings).
5.) Mix rich, earthy compost into garden soil, or pile on top of the soil as mulch.
Composting Tips
Here are a few more tips to turn carrot tops (and anything else) into compost more quickly:
1.) Help start a new compost pile with blood meal, cottonseed meal, well-aged manure or compost starter. They are rich in nitrogen and help "fire-up" the microbes responsible for breaking down organic matter into compost.
2.) Chop or shred materials before putting them in the compost pile or bin. The smaller it is, the faster it will break down.
3.) Use a kitchen compost pail or crock for storing food scraps. It will reduce the number of trips you make to the compost pile.
4.) Plants that have been treated with pesticides and/or herbicides (weeds and lawn clippings) should be avoided.
5.) Add a lot to your pile at once, rather than in small doses to encourage the pile to heat up.
6.) Turn, turn, turn. Turning compost will introduce oxygen and speed up the composting process.
7.) Keep you pile or bin in the sun. Microbes are more active when warm.
8.) Activators can get a slow compost heap sped up.
9.) Got compost? When finished it should look, feel and smell like rich, dark soil. You should not be able to recognize any of the items you put in there.
10.) Finished compost is usually less than half the volume of the materials you started with, but it's much denser.
11.) Apply finished compost to your garden about 2-4 weeks before you plant, giving the compost time to integrate and stabilize within the soil.
Does your compost stink? Is it dry and brittle? Is nothing happening? Are maggots freaking you out? Check out this troubleshooting guide to find out what's wrong.

For R a commutative ring and M an R-module, we can always find a projective resolution of M which replaces M by a sequence of projective R-modules. But as R is commutative, we can consider the affine variety X=Spec R and the sheaf of modules associated to M. What is the projective resolution doing geometrically to this sheaf?
Projectives are locally free sheaves, so if M itself is not projective then it must have some sort of "sharp twisting" or "pinching". In some way a projective resolution is "un-pinching" M. Geometrically, is this the same "un-pinching" that happens in a resolution of a singularity of a variety? Is there an example in low dimensions where one can actually draw a picture of this happening for modules?

Take steps to avoid illnesses that can steal Christmas spirit
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 6:28 p.m.
Sickness can play the part of a Grinch and steal all the fun out of the holidays.
Help prevent holiday illness
-- Get a flu vaccine each year.
-- Wash your hands often with soap and warm water. Wash them for as long as it takes to sing two rounds of the "Happy Birthday" song.
-- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and then throw the tissue in the trash.
-- Stay home if you are sick until you have been symptom-free without taking fever-reducing medicine for 24 hours.
-- Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
-- Eat a healthy diet, exercise and get plenty of rest.
While others enjoy spending time with family and friends, exchanging gifts and singing Christmas carols, you don't want to be stuck in bed with the flu.
That's one Christmas gift nobody wants to receive.
Significant increases in flu activity in the U.S. in the last two weeks indicate that an early flu season is under way, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Since Sept. 30 of this year, when the flu season began, as many as 5,922 flu cases and five flu-related deaths have been reported in South Carolina.
"We have seen a significant increase in the number of cases in South Carolina," said DHEC spokesperson Jim Beasley. "Usually, with influenza cases in South Carolina, the numbers peak around February. So this is a much earlier flu season than usual."
Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue and sometime nausea and diarrhea. The CDC recommends everyone 6 months old and older get a flu shot once a year.
Beasley says vaccination is the best way to prevent the flu.
Dr. Chris McCarthy, a family physician with Palmetto Proactive Healthcare in Spartanburg, said that while the flu doesn't feel good for anyone, it's particularly difficult for people who are at risk from other health issues.
According to the CDC's website, certain people are at greater risk for serious complications if they get the flu, including older people, young children, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease), and persons who live in facilities such as nursing homes.
"Everyone isn't going to get deathly ill from it," McCarthy said. "But your grandmother might, or your baby might, and that's why everyone should get the vaccine."
To get a flu vaccine, DHEC recommends you first check with your private health care provider, as many of them order vaccine supplies for their regular patients. If your health care provider cannot give you a flu vaccine, visit http://flushot.healthmap.org/ to find out where you can go.
Protect yourself
If you're going shopping this holiday season, you might leave your favorite store with more than you bargained for.
Shopping is a great way to spread germs, said Dr. Howard Bean, medical director of the Mary Black Physicians Group.
"When you push a door open or push a buggy around, you're likely to pick up someone else's germs," he said. "People who are out shopping should carry hand sanitizer in their purse or pocket and use it whenever you're aware that you've touched something."
He encourages people to go shopping during the less crowded times of the day — late at night or early in the morning — to help prevent the common cold or other sicknesses.
McCarthy says the cold — congestion, runny nose, sore throat — is the most common thing he sees at his practice on Reidville Road.
"The biggest thing is to avoid contaminating others," he said. "Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Sneeze into your sleeve instead of your hand."
The CDC recommends washing hands often with soap and warm water, and lather for as long as it takes to sing two rounds of the "Happy Birthday" song.
Getting relief
Bean said antibiotics won't help people get over a cold because it's a viral illness.
So while you're busy piling gifts under the Christmas tree or filling stockings, you might want to take some time to restock your medicine cabinet.
"Some of the over-the-counter cough and cold medicines can be helpful," he said.
If you're looking to stock your medicine cabinet, here's what doctors recommend:
-- Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Robitussin. "It's great for the aches and pains, great as a fever reducer, and it's great for a sore throat," McCarthy said.
-- Decongestants, such as Claritin, Zyrtec, Sudafed, Mucinex or Delsym.
-- Nasal sprays
-- Cough drops
Bean said allergies can flare up during the winter months due to Christmas decorations in the home, such as the live tree, or from houses being closed up and stuffy.
People who are prone to allergy symptoms might want to stock their cabinet with allergy medicines, such as Benadryl, as well, he said.
The CDC recommends eating a healthy diet, exercising and getting plenty of rest to stay healthy during the holidays.

Parent Questions
What does my teen need to participate in a teen program?
In order to participate, all teens need to have on file is an E-13 waiver. This is a liability waiver for the City of Seattle. This allows them to participate in virtually any teen related program within the city. Some programs require more documents.
Many of the city Teen Programs are free but select programs, based on the site and activity have nominal fees. Please check with the individual program.
What age do you have to be to participate in the city Teen Program?
Teens ages 11-18 can participate in the programs. Late Night activities are reserved for 13-19 yr olds.
A Teen Development Leader (TDL) works with teenagers to create programs that are educational, fun, and productive for our youth. Many TDL's try to introduce teens to a variety of experiences, some where they would not otherwise have an opportunity to try or do.
How often do the Teen Programs occur?
Most programs are 4-5 days a week. Programs very in range and scope. During the summer programs happen between the hours of 10am and 10pm. During the school year and during most breaks most programs run from 3-9pm on weekdays with an occasional weekend program.
Programs include sports, art, educational programs, trips to: museums, parks, Mariners games, concerts, dances, movies and much more. Programs are different in each community to match the diverse interests of teens in each community.
No, we do not substitute for day care. The Associated Recreation Council runs programs at select sites for teens for ages 11-14 yrs old.
Late Night is a program that has been run in the city of Seattle for over 15 years. It provides a safe place for teens to hang out between the hours of 7pm and midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. Each site offers a variety of programs for each weekend. Late Night sites are at: Rainier Beach, Rainier, Mercer Middle school, Southwest, Delridge, High Point, Garfield Teen Life center (attached to the Qunicy Jones performing arts center), Bitter Lake Annex (west of the community center) and Meadowbrook Teen Life center (attached to Nathan Hale High School).
Are the Teen Programs safe for my teen?
Teen Development Leaders (TDL's) are charged with not only creating unique and fun opportunities, but to make them safe as well. TDL's ensure that language is appropriate, comments are tasteful and tactful and that nothing illegal is going on while teens are present. Often many TDL's act as peers and a step down from a parent figure.

And what will happen if I eat them after they're past the expiry date?
All of the answers you are looking for have been touched on in various parts of this question: How long can I keep eggs in the refrigerator?
As with just about every other food, you're better off interpreting the sell-by or best-before dates as a conservative guideline; any food can go off before the date if it's been damaged or mis-handled, and many foods will still be fine long after they "expire". StillTasty.com is a good resource for finding out how long various foods actually last in storage.
The sell by date isn't so much going bad (bad eggs are rather obvious) but Salmonella.
Most eggs, especially factory farmed, have traces of salmonella on them - it can pass through the shell. But unless you are already ill you can handle it, the older the are the longer the bug has add to get into the egg and grow.

User Comments for Week 12 WR Rankings
I have a big WR dilemma please help!!! Who should I start in standard league: Danny Amendola, Danario Alexander, or Cecil Shorts.
Okay, looking for a little advice. I've got 3 WR's available to fill 2 slots: Nicks (home v. GB), Austin (home v. Washington), or Denarius Moore (at Cincinnati). Standard scoring, non-PPR league. I leaning towards benching Austin considering his targets / production have been down the past few weeks, but the matchup against Washington is tempting. Thanks for the help.
joshua.randlett 11/20/12 08:35 PM
Who should I bench, Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, or Julio Jones?
thomasjohnson1932 11/21/12 03:11 PM
RSA shorts for sure...Josh nicks and austin both will catch a td...austin had low targets last week bc dez tore up buster skrine
moonwalker31 11/22/12 02:11 AM
Vincent Jackson, Torrey Smith, Roddy White, Stevie Jackson, Kenny Britt or Ryan Broyles. Need three. Thanks.
tmtaz 11/22/12 10:01 AM
Non PPR league...I need 3 WR's. J. Nelson, E. Decker, D. Moore, L. Fitzgerald, D. Jackson? My heart says Nelson, Decker, and Fitzgerald, but my mind says Nelson, Decker, and Moore?
longbear99 11/24/12 02:38 AM
if you have cecil shorts, start him. That goes for any unpopular names. stop starting people because they have popular names, start the most viable fantasy threat, its simple.

I'm thankful for two things this Father's Day.
And one of them is the U.S. Postal Service.
God forbid that it should ever cease to exist, given all the joy and smiles it has brought me through the years in the form of letters or cards or packages.
Or surprises.
One arrived last week in the office, the name on the front of the envelope as unfamiliar to me as the accompanying return address from Winter Haven, Fla.
I assumed it was something newspaper related, opening it with casual expectations of it being a story idea, a reunion-from-afar notice maybe or something likely just right for a spot on a future community page.
But it wasn't.
It was, however, a letter and accompanying material in direct response to my Sunday column that was in this space over the Memorial Day weekend. It was the column I had written about a family friend, Linda Irvine McConnell, presenting me with a letter her dad, the late Jim Irvine, had received during World War II from his friend, my dad, the late Jay W. "Pidge" Hout.
The letter was dated Jan. 12, 1943, mailed from San Antonio, Texas, from "Pvt. Jay W. Hout 35393451." Its contents were a treasure, I had written, to capture a little insight into my dad's military life through a from-a-friend, to-a-friend letter laced with news, humor, questions and commentary.
My mention of my dad and his Army ID number apparently caught the attention of Florida reader Elmer Rensi, the gentleman who took the time to write to me. He noted that my dad's Army ID number was nearly identical to his own.
As he researched information from a book he wrote called "Memories of World War II" about his Army days, sure enough, he discovered that he and my dad were both at the Penn Station in Steubenville waiting for the train to arrive from Pittsburgh and take them to Fort Hayes in Columbus that morning on Sept. 7, 1942.
Rensi sent some information that's been interesting reading, something I never would have known about had I not written that column, had he not read it.
That column I mentioned how I don't think there are coincidences, that instead things are meant to be, meant to happen.
I felt that reaffirmed when Linda Irvine McConnell gave me the letter, and I felt that again when the morning mail last week brought the package from Elmer Rensi of Winter Haven, Fla.
I e-mailed him to thank him, to tell him that although the calendar said June, the arrival of the information made me feel as if it were Christmas.
How cool is that?
Oh, yes, and as for the other thing I'm thankful for this Father's Day, I'm grateful for all the good memories I have of my dad.
Happy Father's Day.

I read a line the other day in Almudi.org that said
Mi paisaje de siempre visto desde otra perspectiva
the latter part means 'seen from another perspective'. I can't quite figure out what could be a good english equivalent of the former. My landscape of always? That doesn't make english sense. Any ideas?

Faculty member Barbara Alfano's new book, The Mirage of America in Contemporary Italian Literature and Film, examines the use of images associated with the U.S. in Italian novels and films released between the 1980s and the 2000s. The book explores how the individuals portrayed in these works—and the intellectuals who created them—confront the cultural construct of the American myth.

Does that mean if I draw samples from the population that 90% of the time I'll get a number between 1 and 9?
Added: assume normal distribution for the population.
Does that mean if I draw samples from the population that 90% of the time I'll get a number between 1 and 9?
Added: assume normal distribution for the population.
No. In a typical setting such a statement is based on the mean of a random sample. Each possible sample of that size from the given population has a certain sample mean. Some of these are very close to the population mean, and some are quite far away. (Imagine, for instance, trying to estimate the average height of an adult male by taking a random sample of adult males and just happening to get a sample consisting entirely of pro basketball players!) However, most of the possible samples will have sample means quite close to the population mean.
What the statement means, then, is that if the population mean is not between $1$ and $9$, the statistician must have drawn one of the very unrepresentative samples $-$ one that's so unrepresentative that only $10$% of the possible samples are equally unrepresentative (or worse).
Added: Let's say that there are $N$ possible samples of a given size from that population. The means of those samples will cover a range, from the smallest possible sample mean to the largest. The actual population mean will be somewhere in the middle. Now draw two lines, the first cutting off the $5$% of the samples with the smallest means, the second cutting off the $5$% with the largest means. Here's a rough sketch of the situation, with $S$ for the smallest and $L$ for the largest possible sample means:
The percentages are the percentages of all possible samples having means in the indicated ranges. If you draw a sample at random, on average you'll get a sample with a mean between $C$ and $D$ $90$% of the time, because $90$% of all possible samples have means between $C$ and $D$, and the samples are all equally likely to be picked when you pick at random.
Similarly, on average you'll get a sample with a mean between $S$ and $C$ about $5$% of the time, and one with a mean between $D$ and $L$ about $5$% of the time.
The statistician is saying that if the population mean is not between $1$ and $9$, then his sample was either below the first cut, $C$, or above the second cut, $D$. In other words, either he got one of the $10$% of samples that are least like the population, or the population mean is between $1$ and $9$. 'I'm $90$% confident that the population mean is between $1$ and $9$' is verbal shorthand for all of that explanation.
When a statistician makes such a statement, it usually means they are confused.
Most statisticians are frequentists, and the frequentist paradigm disallows such statements, though frequentists say things like this all the time.
To a Bayesian statistician, the statement means that the uncertainty in the population mean has been modeled as a probability distribution. Starting from a prior distribution that expresses what it known/believed before acquiring data, the distribution is updated in light of data according to Bayes theorem. The updated distribution contains 90% of its mass between 1 and 9.
When you draw a sample, you don't get a number; you get a list of numbers. Or more precisely, a sample is a list of numbers.
No, it is not true that 90% of those numbers in the list are between $1$ and $9$, nor is it true that $90\%$ of the time, when you take a sample, anything in particular will be between $1$ and $9$.
A confidence interval depends on the list of numbers that you get in a sample. Say you take a sample of $20$ numbers, and the resulting confidence interval for the population mean is the interval from $1$ to $9$. Typically a much smaller proportion than $90\%$ of the numbers in the sample are between $1$ and $9$, and not infrequently, none of them are.
Now say you take another random sample of $20$ numbers from the same population, and the resulting confidence interval is from $2$ to $8.5$. And then you take another random sample of $20$ from the same population, and the confidence interval you get is from $1.5$ to $11$. And so on. Then $90\%$ of the time, the interval you get will include the population mean. That is what it means.
Assuming a nromal dsitribution for the population would only add a specific formula for obatining a confidence interval. If you truly want the Bayesian posteriori probability for the interval [1, 9] then the normal distirbution is needed for the likelihood piece but you also need to specify a prior distribution for the mean.

Aaron Sorkin Gossip
Aaron Sorkin gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Aaron Sorkin: Golden Globes Rage
Mark Davis/ Steve Granitz/ Handout/ Getty Images
God, Aaron Sorkin, I thought you were done making me furious. I say this as someone who, okay, has not yet seen Steve Jobs. From what I understand, I'm not the only one. But I bring this up not to be snarky, but because I don't know if there's a reason you mentioned your daughter in the context of your win. Full Story
Michael Fassbender in Steve Jobs
Wenn, Grant Lamos IV/ Getty Images, Luis Yllanes/ Splash News
If Michael Fassbender wins an Oscar for playing Steve Jobs in the film of the same name, he has Ashton Kutcher to thank for it. That's a joke, of course, but it's one that Fassbender already made himself at the NYFF Steve Jobs press conference on Saturday. He's referencing the Kutcher-led Jobs, which was released two years ago Full Story
Lucille Ball is getting Sorkinized
Yesterday it was announced that Cate Blanchett will star as Lucille Ball in a biopic being written by Aaron Sorkin, which is a confusing sentence. On the one hand, I can easily see The Incomparable Cate as Ball, but on the other…Aaron Sorkin? At first it doesn't make any sense, but I came around to it the more I thought about it. Full Story
Aaron Sorkin on the gender "degree of difficulty"
The alarm went off this morning. I dropped my eyes. I picked up my phone. There was a text from Duana: "Can we just have a weekly column called f-ck off Aaron Sorkin?!?" Then I opened my browser. And there it was. Aaron Sorkin's latest f-ck off moment, this time comparing male and female award-winning roles and declaring that it's a higher "degree of difficulty" for the men. Full Story
Aaron Sorkin vs a writer on Twitter
FameFlynet, Jason Merritt/ Jeffrey Mayer/ Lester Cohen/ Getty Images
We were almost done. We were almost through the final, short, exhausting-to-discuss season of The Newsroom. But good things never last and thus we have one final Aaron Sorkin blurting in the press to discuss. So the whole thing is here. Full Story
Bale quits Jobs
Christian Bale has cut ties with the Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin and being directed by Danny Boyle—I refuse to make any Bale/bails puns. This is the same project that potentially has Seth Rogen in to play Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (a really nice piece of casting, if it comes through), and that Leonardo DiCaprio is rumored to have passed on in favor of The Revenant. Full Story
Christian Bale Steve Jobs
Aaron Sorkin has written a Steve Jobs movie screenplay. It was reported last week that Christian Bale was negotiating to play Jobs. Sorkin confirmed this week that Bale has indeed been cast. He also revealed that he didn't have to audition and that it would be "an extremely difficult part". Full Story
The couple of the year
Page Six reports exclusively that Courtney Love and Aaron Sorkin are checking each other, even though his publicist denies that they're "dating". According to the paper though, Courtney's been living at the Chateau Marmont, always a residence that promotes good, healthy relationships, and she and Aaron have been together for a few months. Full Story
The Newsroom Returns
The Newsroom Season 2 Episode 1 recap So I started watching one of those Sorkinisms Supercuts a few days before this episode premiered. My God, it is hypnotic. But even though the man rips himself off wholesale, that's not what bothers me. Full Story
May 2, 2011
Do you remember this? I remember. I remember the weirdness of this. The announcement of the death of Bin Laden was so strange. It felt odd, to me, to be cheering about a military operation. Not in the "every life is a life" thing, but because of how incongruous it was anyway. Full Story
On The Newsroom
Wenn, Fame/Flynet
As I mentioned yesterday, Aaron Sorkin's new show The Newsroom, premiering on HBO Canada and HBO on Sunday at 10pm, is being ripped apart by critics. It's not that they don't have a point: Sorkin is sentimental, smug, preachy, wordy, and it can be infuriating the way he writes women. Full Story
