I have a field of street names in all caps. Some of the names begin with numbers i.e. 9TH ST. I need to put the names into proper case. I've tried various versions of code but they haven't worked. I think it's getting tripped up on the leading number thing. I assume I need code that will check for a number and skip over it if it finds one and then continue with case changes, but I don't know how to write it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
If you like Python, how about the titlecase module? http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2008/05/27/titlecasepy-titlecase-in-python/
It's decent, and works for English. Of course there will always be exceptions or gray areas (see my comment under the question above).

Funding Electroacupuncture Research through the NHS - A Way Forward?
by David Mayor
In May 2007, Elsevier published a textbook on electroacupuncture (EA) on which I worked as editor and author for nearly eleven years. With the book comes a CD which includes not only a greatly expanded version of the text, but also a fully searchable database compiled from more than 8,000 clinical studies on electroacupuncture and associated modalities (TENS, laser acupuncture, etc). These were originally published between 1959 and 2003 in English, Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and other mainly Western European languages. Pertinent data were translated and entered by 23 different individuals, including acupuncture practitioners, researchers and students. The resulting innovative database is unique in that study entries include details of the acupoints and treatment parameters used, as well as information on study type, numbers and subgroups of subjects, endpoint measures used, and outcome. As far as possible, material was gathered without bias in respect of acupuncture philosophy, practice and language of publication.

The 10 Most Insane Medical Practices in History
#5. Urine Therapy
You can tell just by the title of the entry that we're not heading anywhere good with this one. Yup, throughout history there are those who believed the key to good health (and terrible body odor) was wallowing in one's own excretions. It was said to cure an endless list of ailments and promote good health if drank, was applied to the skin and yes some even used it to give themselves (turn away now weak-of-heart) a nice bracing urine enema.
Perhaps the best part of this is that while most of the practices listed in this article have long since been dismissed as lunacy, urine therapy lives on to today (for your own sanity don't do a Google search for it). That's right, of all the crackpot theories listed here the one that endured is the one where people drink and bathe in piss.
There's absolutely no evidence that urine therapy can cure a damn thing (and it comes with the added bonus of you getting to smell like the underside of a bridge or a downtown subway car). No, even the thing with peeing on jellyfish stings isn't true. On the bright side, armed with the new knowledge we've provided you, you can now try to pass those DVDs your girlfriend found in your closet off as medical instruction videos.
#4. Bloodletting
Bloodletting was one of the most enduring and popular medical practices in history, originated by the Greeks and used up until the 19th century for, well, basically everything. If you were feeling under the weather back in the day there's a good chance it was because you just had too much damn blood.
Now, a person having too much blood may sound about as absurd as a person breathing too much air or you coming home to find too many naked supermodels in your bed. But, that's just because you don't know about the four humours. Don't worry, we won't hold your ignorance against you. Basically the theory was that the body was filled with four fluids (blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile) called humours and that any imbalance in the four was the root of all illness. Apparently blood can be a bit of a space hog and thus often some had to be bled out to make room for more fun stuff like phlegm and black bile (a.k.a. diarrhea), or so the theory went.
If you're wondering whether or not it works, the next time you're on your death bed with the flu, drag yourself out of bed and go downtown and give anywhere up to 4 quarts of blood; that's bloodletting for you, except you usually didn't get orange juice and a cookie after. Now, there is a chance you'll feel a bit better as you take a delirious blood loss inspired trip through the clouds on a golden unicorn, but we can assure you your flu probably won't be cured.
#3. Hard Core Diet Remedies
While fuller figures have been popular for most of history, during the 20th century thin was in for women (which explains why it's known today as the "no fat chicks" century. Well, at least by us). This need to be slim led to the creation of countless "diet pills" that promised to help you melt away those pounds and inches.
While a lot of the pills actually did help with weight loss, they also often caused fevers, heart troubles, blindness, death and birth defects. They couldn't have been all bad though, as in the 1950s and '60s women who took diet pills liked them so darn much they just couldn't seem to stop taking them. Of course, it might have had something to do with the fact that the diet pills of the '50s and '60s were in actuality bottles of pure crank. But hey, what's getting addicted to amphetamines when being ready for bathing suit season hangs in the balance?
Oh, and since we just can't resist grossing you fine readers out, there have long existed stories that in the 1920s and '30s capsules filled with dehydrated tapeworms or tapeworm eggs were sold as diet pills.
Photo courtesy of The Museum of Quackery.
There's some debate over whether these actually existed, but it seems like it could be true as various advertisements for the wormy pills have survived. Besides, if there was a market for the nut shock belt ...
#2. Trepanation
Trepanation is a fancy word for drilling holes in your head. This is actually the oldest surgical procedure known to man as humans have been intentionally knocking holes in their skulls dating back to the time of cavemen, giving hope to anyone who's had to watch the sitcom starring the Geico cavemen that all of them might die in a trepanation experiment horribly gone wrong in an upcoming episode.
Historically trepanation was most commonly used as treatment for seizures and migraines. Surprise, surprise. Having a gaping hole drilled in your skull (usually without anesthesia) did very little to help people's headaches or brain issues. Trepanation was also used as an extreme form of cosmetic/experimental body modification amongst several societies such as the Incans and Mayans. These societies also got largely wiped out, then a few hundred years later suffered the indignity of having an insulting Mel Gibson movie made about them, so it didn't really work out that well.
Oh, and yes, a few brilliant individuals still practice trepanation to this day. To give you an idea of the oh-so-solid ground today's trepanation supporters' beliefs are built on, the biggest modern proponent of trepanation is a "Doctor" Bart Hughes. We put doctor in quotations marks because he never actually finished medical school. That's right kids, you, too, can be a college dropout and yet still go onto a career convincing people around the world to do incredibly retarded things, so reach for those stars.
#1. Female Hysteria Cures
Women and their mood swings, right guys? Right? You know what we're saying. Now, if you happen to be female don't be offended, there's no shame in admitting to the occasional bit of moodiness as according to 19th century doctors it's a symptom of a deadly serious medical condition (along with other symptoms such as nervousness, irritability and the dreaded "tendency to cause trouble"). That's right ladies, you may be a victim of female hysteria and not even know it.
So, how exactly do you cure a so-called "condition" that coincidentally was diagnosed almost entirely to women who dared disobey their Victorian husbands? Glad you asked. The prescription for female hysteria was usually a good spot of doctor administered vaginal massage until the woman achieved "hysterical paroxysm."
Yes that's right, the cure for female hysteria was a doctor's hand down your bloomers until you weren't only thinking of England but screaming its name. Is it any wonder the list of symptoms for female hysteria was so long, literally any ailment could fit the diagnosis? In those sexually repressed times visiting the doctor's office must have been like a trip to Disneyland for most women.
Doctors of the day on the other hand were apparently, I don't know, gay or something since they actually objected to women's frequent desire to be "cured" by their magic fingers. Their solution to alleviate hand strain? They invented the vibrator, and thus this article comes to a happy ending.

Jackson E. Fowler, Jr., Steven A. Bigler
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Reviewers: Li Liu, MD
Source: Cancer, 86(5):836-841, September 1999
Successful stratification of patients for any risk variable would enhance our understanding of the disease and therefore enable us to develop effective strategies for managing subsets of patients. This is especially true for prostate cancer since African American men have the highest incidence of prostate carcinoma in the world. Drs. Fowler and Bigler reported this interesting study to confirm and expand our knowledge of racial differences in prostate carcinoma.
Fowler and Bigler prospectively studied 796 consecutive men (465 black and 331 white) with prostate cancer at the VA Hospital associated with the University of Mississippi.
It has been hypothesized that black Americans have higher circulating levels of testosterone than whites. This may be one explanation for racial differences in the risk of developing prostate cancer. The implication is that black American men should be tested for prostate carcinoma at an earlier age than white men. More studies are needed to explore the underlying genetic differences, which are linked, to the risk of prostate carcinoma.

Stop Procrastinating – Right Now!
By Melissa Kirsch
6 ways to outsmart your paralysis and actually get something done
I procrastinate horribly — not about everything, just about phone calls. Sometimes I put off making dinner reservations until all I can get is a 10 p.m. slot at my third-favorite restaurant. I regularly run out of prescriptions because I can't manage to phone the pharmacy for refills. I dial my mother so rarely that, when I do, she thinks someone died. For no reason I can understand, the prospect of making even a mundane phone call leaves me overwhelmed. Procrastinating over such a simple task seems crazy — but research shows that most of us are busily not doing things every day.
In a five-year study of procrastination (that took 10 years, so who are they to call the kettle black?), psychologist Piers Steel, Ph.D., at the University of Calgary found that 95 percent of us report having postponement problems. We put off jobs we find tedious, as well as things that inspire fear of failure, of not living up to our own expectations, of never finishing — insecurities that threaten our very identities. My phone phobia is probably due to some combination of finding the calling process tiresome and a dread of the call mushrooming into more projects (my mom might insist I come visit; I'll have to pick up that prescription). Yes, I know it's absurd and counterproductive to delay, but I do it anyway, even though there's a price.
As we all learned in grade school, procrastination is the thief of time — but studies show that that's just the beginning. Putting off tax filing, for example, costs Americans a cumulative $400 million a year, because once we start rushing, we make mistakes. Delaying routine medical tests results in dangerously late detection of otherwise treatable illnesses. "People who procrastinate tend to be less healthy, less wealthy, and less happy," reports Steel. Ready to repent? Here is the latest research on how you can reclaim your time and finally start making things happen.
Replace the Finish Line with the Starting Line
When a big, unpleasant task is looming, its sheer enormity can make even the most enterprising woman decide she'd be better off plucking her eyebrows. Instead of thinking about how far you are from the finish line, says psychologist Neil Fiore, Ph.D., author of The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play, concentrate on starting. And if you do begin a lengthy, boring project — say, organizing the pantry — only to soon find yourself browsing Depression glass on eBay, don't get upset or throw in the towel. Just ask, "When can I start again?"
The point of staying focused on beginning: to avoid getting intimidated by all the fears that surround finishing. What if I do a lousy job? What if I flat-out can't do it? Such concerns can seem silly in the context of a simple cleaning job, but they often arise out of perfectionism, says Fiore. To move ahead, don't criticize yourself for your garage-cleaning skills (or lack thereof). "To get things done — and done well — you have to keep your sense of worth as a person separate from whether every task you do turns out perfectly," he says. Take dieting, a scarily long-term project that's easy to put off until after the Valentine's Day candy is gone, or longer. Susan Wilkinson, 37, of Middletown, CT, has lost 20 pounds by continually starting over. "When I slip up and eat a piece of cake, instead of thinking, It's hopeless, I might as well just eat anything I want now, I think, So I ate a slice of cake. Let me start over again." That's just what Fiore advises: Think of big projects as a series of beginnings — and remember that no failure is final.

How can i adapt this definition for the non-commutative case?
are there some books of articles related to this ? Thanks.

The 8 Most Insulting Attempts to Raise Money for a Cause
#4. Burqas for Freedom
The entrepreneurial spirit knows no bounds, including those of taste and tact and especially irony. Exemplifying this in a most head-scratching and fun-with-oppression sort of way is one American lady and her team of Afghani women who are busily creating burqas for you. Tiny little burqas. For our wine bottles.
If you're not familiar, a burqa is traditional garb for women in places like Afghanistan which sort of resembles a five-year-old's ghost costume. Before the Taliban took control in Afghanistan, most women didn't wear these things, they wore standard burqas that showed the face. But if there's one thing the Taliban hate, it's everything. And that includes faces. How the fuck can you get anything done in an oppressive, arid wasteland of opium and despair with all those faces around? Best to cover them up.
Since the sort of freedom that's come to Afghanistan, a group called Women of Hope came in to help the local women gain independence and all that good stuff and apparently the best way to do that is by having these women sew little burqas and Taliban dolls for Americans.
The women themselves admit they have no idea why Americans like this shit but, hey, people who feel the need to decorate wine bottles have different tastes than the rest of us. Even though this is kind of like Jews in concentration camps making bean bag Hitlers and Easy Bake Ovens to raise money for Jewish causes, no one really seems to mind.
#3. "Celebrate Your Friend's Memory, by Giving Us Cash."
Tasteless political fundraising is not the strict purview of Americans, it's a world wide trend. Soliciting door to door or just hoping past supporters are willing to shell out money again just isn't enough for some and they are willing to pursue every dollar they can get their hands on, even to the grave. Or at least a seat at your funeral.
The Scottish National Party, making no effort to counter the stereotype of cheap Scotsmen, hatched a plan to put donation envelopes on seats at memorial services.
Speaking of stereotypes, this is what every Scottish person looks like.
Sure, Uncle Argyle just got blown to smithereens in a tragic haggis accident, but what's that stuck to your ass? Don't you want to make a donation to the SNP? And while you're at it, Argyle's not going to be needing that ring anymore is he, may as well pop that in the envelope too.
#2. Drunk Driving Awareness Fundraiser (At the Bar)
Sometimes thinking outside the box is the key to any good event. Are you hosting a child's birthday party? You could go to Chuck E. Cheese, or you could see if any local strip clubs are free. Children love boobs and it'll give the parents something to do as well. That's clever. Likewise, if you're hosting an event to stamp out drunk driving, you could do it at the local 4H club, or you could go all out and have it at a bar.
The Dori Slosberg Foundation, which apparently has a love/hate relationship with drunk drivers, decided to host a safe driving fundraiser at the Blue Martini Lounge in Boca Raton. Tickets were only $20 and included a free drink, which is both awesome and head-scratchingly hilarious.
There were appetizers, a raffle and presumably people who got shitfaced were encouraged to take a cab home--or at least drive super slow just to be on the safe side.
"Alright, just maintain."
The event organizers defended their choice of location, despite local police and MADD representatives making the universal "what the fuck?" face when confronted with the details, believing that the bar afforded them the opportunity to reach a new audience. Namely drunks in a bar. Who had driven themselves there. In cars.
#8. Giuliani's Tactful $9.11 Fundraiser
How did we know another 9/11 fundraiser would find its way onto the list?
We all remember how Rudy Giuliani was the mayor of New York on September 11, 2001, the day his watch stopped and he was forced to live then and there for the rest of time. In the past few years, Giuliani has managed to do not a damn thing that did not involve some reference to 9/11 and very likely every morning for breakfast one of his toaster strudel's features an icing 9 and the other and icing 11 and eating it makes him feel powerful.
It's hardly surprising then that, during his bid for the Republican nomination, Giuliani held a fundraiser and came up with the brilliant idea of having everyone donate $9.11. Brilliant until other people were told about it.
Surprisingly, using a massive tragedy and epic loss of life as a cute tie in to raise money for yourself doesn't go over well with a lot of people (just ask the Girl Scouts about their infamous Chocolate Holocaust cookies). Firefighters were quick to point out that the fundraiser was rather cockbaggish and not really in good taste.
"That's a dick move there, Rudy."
Giuliani's people laid the blame for the fundraising idea on someone else, saying they had no idea what was going on and "young people" were responsible. This is what you get when you leave the 12-year-old neighbor's kid in charge.

Activists protest deportation of Phoenix father Moises Navarrete
PHOENIX - Activists are fighting the potential deportation of a Phoenix father recently released from detention because of federal budget cuts.
The Arizona Dream Act Coalition called on Congress to help fight the potential deportation of Moises Navarrete Torres during a rally Thursday outside the Phoenix office of Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Pastor.
Navarrete says he was arrested for identity fraud in January after police searched his car and found a stranger's Social Security card. Navarrete says he found the card and wasn't using it.
Navarrete says he was released from federal detention in February when immigration officials released thousands of detainees because of budget cuts.
His 13-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son want him to stay in the United States.
President Barack Obama has called on Congress to pass immigration reform.

WACO (November 2, 2012)—A Waco jury returned a guilty verdict Friday afternoon in the capital murder trial of Ricky Donnell Cummings, who was charged in a deadly double murder.
Cummings appeared stunned by the verdict and members of both his and the victims' families wept quietly.
Jurors deliberated for about three hours before returning the verdict Friday.
They now must decide whether Cummings should be executed for the murders or sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The trial was recessed until Monday when the punishment phase will begin.
On word the jury had reached a verdict, all Waco police officers in the downtown area were directed to head to the area of the courthouse.
Additional sheriff's deputies were also sent to the courthouse where security was already tight Friday in anticipation of the verdict in a trial in which emotions have run high inside and outside the courtroom.
Fifteen uniformed and plainclothes officers filled the courtroom before the jury returned to announce the verdict and McLennan County Sheriff Larry Lynch was among the officers patrolling the courthouse halls.
The officers in the courtroom moved into the center aisle, positioned about two feet apart, just before the jury was escorted in.
State District Judge Ralph Strother told spectators he knew it was a tense moment and said he would tolerate no outbursts and would clear the courtroom if there were any.
Jurors left the courtroom at 9:54 a.m. Friday to begin deliberations after hearing closing arguments from the prosecution and defense.
If jurors find Cummings guilty, then they must decide whether he is sentenced to death or life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutor Greg Davis closed out the arguments Friday morning by pointing at Cummings and calling him a cold and ruthless murderer.
"We have proved beyond a reasonable shadow of doubt," he said, "now find him guilty. May God be with you."
As arguments began Friday morning, lead prosecutor Michael Jarrett virtually yelled at the jury, "Ricky Cummings is a murderer.
Jarrett spoke for about 20 minutes and then yielded to defense attorney Walter S. "Skip" Reaves, who told the jury in more muted language to "follow the evidence."
Reaves said Jarrett spent most of Thursday morning trying to tie Cummings to gang activity, but "there is no proof" Cummings was a member of a gang.
Reaves told the jury it is an evil thing to put an innocent man in prison and he asked the panel to return a verdict of not guilty.
Lead defense attorney Russell Hunt, Sr., followed Reaves and reminded the jury that prosecutors have "no gun, no DNA and no reliable witnesses,"
Hunt also tried to discredit state's witness Nicole Henry, referring to her as a psychotic, mentally disturbed woman and a drug user.
Hunt also said Cummings is not a thug but a smart man who conducted himself well on the witness stand.
Strother already has said he will sequester the jury if that is necessary.
Both sides rested Thursday afternoon after prosecutors spent the morning grilling Cummings, challenging his claims that he wasn't involved in the March 2011 shooting that left two dead and two injured.
Cummings, 23, remained calm through the cross-examination by lead prosecutor Michael Jarrett, who tried hard Thursday to discredit Cummings' testimony that he was nowhere near the Lakewood Villas apartment complex in March 2011 when Keenan Hubert, 20, and Tyus Sneed, 17, were shot to death as they sat in a car in the parking lot.
Marion Bible, then 22, and Deontrae Majors, then 20, were wounded in the shooting.
Under defense questioning Wednesday, Cummings testified he did not kill anybody.
Cummings also established a timeline that he says proves he was nowhere near the murder scene when the shootings happened.
But Jarrett picked at the timeline Thursday and eventually got Cummings to contradict his own testimony.
Cummings had said he was more than a mile away selling drugs to make money when he learned of the shootings and ran to the Lakeside Villas apartments to see what was going on.
But under cross-examination Jarrett was able to get Cummings to say he and Albert Love, one of his co-defendants, actually were at the east end of the complex when the shooting started.
Prosecutors claim that Cummings killed the two men in retaliation for the April 2010 murder of Emuel Bowers III, 21, who was shot as he sat in his car at the intersection of Rose and McKeen Streets.
Earlier Thursday prosecutors showed a rap video posted on YouTube in memory of Bowers titled "Starch it Down, Flame it Up" and challenged Cummings' claims he's not affiliated with a gang.
Cummings was on the stand for two-and-a-half hours Thursday.
Prosecutors called two final witnesses Thursday afternoon before resting their case, Metro PCS custodian of records Steve Venable, and Brittany Snell, who testified earlier that she lent her cell phone to Cummings on the night of the deadly shooting.
They were questioned about the calls Cummings made on the phone to his brother, mother and others.

Good last question... I had that question in mind too... will the Profiler be ported (one day or another) to analyse regular Silverlight ?
@MODUL8com: We have seen a lot of interest in the community to support profiler for regular Silverlight. We are looking at it but there is no committed plan around it as yet.
Good to get a quick look at a few more details. Thanks Vibhor.
A slide showed h264/aac for xde. Does this now also work for general mediasourcestream, on device -and- xde? Up to now, mss is extremely crippled, contrary to all - as little as there is - docs on mediastreamsource.
Wow great presentation... When with the tools be available for us to download and use?
Shame that we XNA developers don't get any improvements, as I am real stuck understanding intermiitment problem on our WP7 XNA development
Is the profiler supposed to be this washed out?

What are the classic books for learning Texas Hold'Em, off- or online? Books that every good player should, at least, know the gist of?
The big four are definitely:
I'd throw the Harrington on Hold'em books in there as well for No Limit Hold'em tournaments, but Al G already mentioned them, so there's no need for repetition.
Theory of Poker - David Sklansky - (Intermediate)
Pot Limit & No Limit Poker - Ciaffone and Reuben - (Beginner)
No Limit Hold'em: Theory and Practice - David Sklansky - (Advanced)
Professional No-Limit Hold'em: Volume I - Ed Miller - (Intermediate)
Phil Gordon's Little Green Book - Phil Gordon - (Beginner)
Harrington on Hold'em Vol. 1 - Dan Harrington - (Beginner/Intermediate)
Harrington on Hold'em Vol. 2 - Dan Harrington - (Beginner/Intermediate)
The Poker Tournament Formula - Arnold Snyder - (Intermediate)
Kill Everyone - Lee Nelson - (Intermediate)
Sit 'n Go Strategy - Colin Moshman - (Beginner/Intermediate)
This question may go Wiki at some point.
From the ones I've read, I'd recommend:
Building a bankroll. If you want to play modern poker online for cash, "building a bankroll" is the book. You will find all the other poker books wrote on this argument until now superficials. It is not for beginner players, you must have a good knowledge of the theory of texas hold'em.
When I started playing 6max cash games seriously a few years ago I found this freely available eBook as a very useful tool in helping me learn perhaps the most prevalent concepts in the games even today. The link is to a PDF copy of the book.
One typically not considered is Play Poker Like the Pros by Phil Hellmuth. Despite his reputation and attitude, this first book by him is really a top down look at the absolute basics. It's a strong starting book that is well complimented by the advanced books which all assume you've read a basic book already.
Texas Holdem for advanced players by David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth This was the bible for limit Holdem player in the late eighties on. It is about playing limit texas Hold-em, but still a must read for players.
The Book of tells by Mike Caro. Not exclusive to hold-em, but a must have for every poker player. Classic and forever relevant.
Super System By Doyle Brunson. I saw a few comments about it not being that great, maybe, maybe not. However, every great player has read it and most every serious player has read it, these are your opponents, and a read of SS will help you understand them.
You should read any poker book that is popular. You may or may not get something new out of the book, however players are learning the latest things, and you will reckonize occasionally that a player is playing by a particular book, great stuff to know.

I often hear cooks discuss that idea that if you are multiplying, say, a recipe for 4 to be a for 32, that you shouldn't multiply some herbs, spices, or salt. I've never understood any reason why this should be true. Maybe something to do with surface area to volume ratios, or cooking times? Does anyone have a real explanation, or is this nonsense?
The notion that salt or spices specifically don't scale linearly sounds like nonsense to me. In any recipe involving salt and water, the salt is dissolved, so all that matters is the concentration, and that concentration is going to be the same with linear scaling.
Scaling in general is problematic when scaling more than 2x or 4x. When you take into account that:
I'm sure you probably already know all this, but the reason I'm pointing it all out is that I'm pretty sure that this odd-sounding assertion about non-linear salt/spice scaling is due to some mutation or misunderstanding of general scaling issues.
Probably, salt and spices are typically present in very small quantities in most recipes, and those quantities are already wild guesses much of the time, so the effect of compounding all this wild inaccuracy, especially with volumetric measurements, is actually pretty noticeable at large scale. Scaling sucks with these ingredients because the initial quantities and scaling method are both nonsense.
Assuming you have a precise recipe that gives weight measurements, and you scale by weight, then you're not going to have any problems as long as you either cook it in batches or adjust your cooking time/temp accordingly.
I suppose I could be wrong, but I spent 20 minutes digging for some evidence to contradict my claims above and came up dry; you'd think that somebody would have presented some evidence if the claim were true.
My experience:
Years ago I morphed from an amateur cook into a caterer doing functions for hundreds of people and making a lot of money from it.
Yes , just scale up. If your original seasoning is correct then your larger recipe will be correct as well.
Most strong spices and/or herbs have a lot of flavor that gets put into any dish that they are associated with, and because they are an extraction or an infusion, the flavor that moves into the dish varies by time, method of extraction and quantity. All of those factors will affect the "spiciness" of a dish. The amount, in most non-commercial recipes, is not necessarily exact. An additional variation is the strength of the spices themselves. Fresh ground cinnamon is much more pungent than a dusty bottle of ground cinnamon at the dollar store.
That means that if you double everything including the spices, you may have too much in the way of spices, you may not. However, if you multiply the recipe times 8, as in your example, if the original recipe spice amount is off a little bit, will be off a lot. This can make a huge difference in the final taste.
In addition, a multiplied recipe may take longer to bring to a simmer, say, so your spices will be in contact with the extracting liquid for a longer time.
There are a couple of options to make larger recipe amounts. Your best bet if you need to go large, is to use recipes from a commercial cookbook. These are generally oriented towards batches for 50 and tend to be more accurate. Cutting a recipe for 50 back to 32 is, mathematically, much less of a change than multiplying a recipe for 4 times 8.
A second choice would be to do 8 batches of whatever you are prepping. Yes, it's more work, but depending on the dish, if you are plating individually, this could work to your benefit.
If neither of these options works for you, a decent rule of thumb is to start with 1/2 of the multiplied spices amount and then adjust. So in your example, you are multiplying times 8, I would only multiply the spices times 4 and add to the recipe. Taste and see where you are. Add more if it needs it. There are even cuisines where you add the same spice at the beginning and the end of the dish to get different flavor profiles so you may very well make this a better dish.
And, by the way, salt would fall into the same category. Go light. You can always add more, but you can't take it out.
I find dissolving flavorings like salt tend to be the worst offenders for linear scaling, making the dish unpalatable. They don't need to be reduced by half, I found 1.5 salt/strong spices for a doubled recipe, to about 6.5 for making ten times the original recipe's amount.
I use this primarily in making large batch soups/stews/chilis/stir-fry for freezing portions. Of course most of the time dissolving ingredients aren't a worry outside of baking you can still adjust to taste very easily (you always have a tasting spoon handy).
Baking is a whole different can of worms when it comes to scaling anyways; that's where going in batches is an especially good idea.

The Group Room® Cancer Talk Radio Show to Present Two Broadcasts at ASCO Meeting: Live Remote Show, Sunday, May 19 and OncoLink Webcast, Saturday, May 18
Last Modified: May 15, 2002
LOS ANGELES, May 15, 2002 This year, The Group Room, the nationally syndicated weekly radio call-in cancer talk show, will present two broadcasts from the 38th annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Orlando, Florida's Orange County Convention Center.
On Saturday, May 18, The Group Room and OncoLink will collaborate on a webcast (From the Physician's Perspective: The Human Side of Oncology) that will also be taped and aired at a later date during The Group Room's regular broadcast. In a round-table discussion, Selma R. Schimmel, host of The Group Room, will address the personal side of medical oncology with physicians from the United States and abroad, exploring the issues and concerns that present the greatest challenges for oncologists, as well as the means for more effective doctor-patient communication. Panelists include: Drs. Robert Comis, Gregory Curt, Mario Dicato, John Glees and James Metz.
On Sunday, May 19, from 4-6 pm ET, The Group Room will broadcast its fifth live show from ASCO, one of the largest and most important scientific oncology meetings in the world. This broadcast will feature an international panel of leading oncologists and opinion leaders who will discuss highlights of the meeting and clinical updates about cancers affecting the breast, lung and prostate as well rare and pediatric cancers. Panelists include: Drs. Nasser Altorki, Paul Bunn Jr., William Gradishar, Heinz Ludwig, Edith Perez, Derek Raghavan, C. Patrick Reynolds, Maurice Schneider and Steven Woolf.
"The opportunity to broadcast from ASCO allows our listeners to get the latest in oncology clinical data and affords them a rare opportunity to speak with many of the world's most prominent oncologists and researchers," said Schimmel, who is also CEO and founder of Vital Options® International TeleSupport® Cancer Network. "We are also thrilled to be able to collaborate with OncoLink in an effort to expand the programming Vital Options will produce from ASCO. This alliance will help us reach the greatest possible audience."
"I believe this webcast is a natural collaboration between OncoLink and Vital Options as it complements each organization's goals to empower patients, families and healthcare providers through the merging of Internet webcasts and radio broadcasts," added Dr. James Metz, editor-in-chief of OncoLink, and Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center.
The Group Room reaches more than half-a-million radio listeners each Sunday throughout the United States as well as others worldwide who hear the show simulcast live over the Internet. Callers join discussions by dialing 1-800-GRP-ROOM (1-800-477-7666).
OncoLink, founded in 1994 at the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center, is an award-winning cancer site on the web that provides information about specific types of cancer, research advances, cancer treatment updates, clinical trials and daily news reports.
The Group Room is produced by Vital Options in association with Premiere Radio Networks, the nation's largest radio network. The show features Schimmel and The Group Room's regular on-air medial experts--medical oncologist Dr. Michael Van Scoy-Mosher, radiation oncologist Dr. Leslie Botnick and therapist Halina Irving, MFCC--who are joined each week by callers affected by cancer as well as renowned cancer experts and advocates who provide updates on research, medical advances and advocacy efforts. All phone calls are screened by a licensed oncology social worker.
The Group Room regularly produces remote location broadcasts from the world' s leading oncology meetings, such as the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and its European equivalents, ESMO/ECCO, and from preeminent cancer centers in the United States and Europe.
Founded in 1983 when Schimmel was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 28, Vital Options was the first organization to address issues related to young adults with cancer before expanding to patients of all ages and issues related to everyone touched by cancer. In 2001, Vital Options was officially renamed Vital Options International to reflect its international expansion. During the week, individuals can reach Vital Options for support or to receive more information about cancer resources or stations carrying the broadcast.
In an effort to facilitate a global cancer dialogue, Vital Options is considered "everyone's best partner," and works collaboratively with other cancer organizations and groups in various cancer communication initiatives. In addition to The Group Room, other Vital Options projects include CancerTalkTM, an in-flight audio program on American and Northwest airlines produced in association with Sky Radio; The Cancer NewsMinuteTM, a cancer news radio feature; and The Professor & The SurvivorTM, an international clinical trials awareness project that will be unveiled at this year's ASCO meeting.
Vital Options International is a not-for-profit cancer communications, support and advocacy organization headquartered in southern California. Vital Options and The Group Room are supported through educational grants from founding sponsor Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and corporate sponsors Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. and Pharmacia Oncology.
Ortho Biotech is the lead sponsor of Vital Options International's growth in Europe; Pharmacia Oncology is an associate sponsor.

BW025: Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!
Redirected from BW025
this wiki
Battling For The Love of Bug-Types! (Japanese: ヒウンジム戦!純情ハートの虫ポケモンバトル!! Castelia Gym Battle, the Pure-Hearted Bug Battle!) is the 25th episode of Pokémon: Black & White.
After the events of the last episode, Ash finally has his battle with Burgh at the Castelia Gym. Meanwhile, though the rest of their organization has pulled out of Unova, Jessie, James and Meowth remain there to do their best for Giovanni. James finds a Yamask and feeds it. After this act of kindness, Yamask is caught by James. During the Gym Battle, Ash's Sewaddle evolves into Swadloon and with it, Tepig and Pikachu, Ash wins the battle and the Insect Badge.
Episode Plot
The heroes arrive at the Castelia Gym and remark it is like a big greenhouse. Burgh feeds a Sewaddle and notices the heroes. He jumps down, as Ash wants a Gym Battle. Burgh admits they moved the trees from Pinwheel Forest to the Gym, where the bugs enjoy the atmosphere of the Gym. Ash is excited to have the Gym battle, so Burgh snaps his fingers, which reveals a battlefield. Burgh sends Dwebble, while Iris notices how its rock looks different from the one of Cilan's Dwebble. Ash sends Tepig, who goes to tackle. Dwebble dodges and digs, hitting Tepig, continued by X-Scissor. Burgh tells Dwebble's rock is much lighter than those of other Dwebble, allowing it to move faster. Tepig uses Ember, though Dwebble protects itself.
Dwebble uses X-Scissor on Tepig, who tackles it back. Tepig uses Flame Charge, but gets countered by Dwebble's Protect. Using Rock Wrecker, Tepig is defeated. Ash calls Tepig back, while Cilan thinks Burgh lured Tepig in and defeated him with Rock Wrecker. Ash sends Sewaddle, displeasing Iris and Cilan for that choice. Burgh remembers Sewaddle, as his Leavanny made Sewaddle's cloak. Iris thinks Burgh is at an advantage, knowing Sewaddle, but Cilan tells he never saw it battle. Sewaddle uses Razor Leaf, but gets countered by Protect. Sewaddle uses X-Scissor, though Sewaddle uses String Shot to go up, dodging the attack. Sewaddle goes to use Bug Bite, though Dwebble protects itself and uses Rock Wrecker. Sewaddle uses String Shot to dodge and uses Razor Leaf, though Dwebble protects itself.
Dwebble uses Rock Wrecker, but Sewaddle uses String Shot to negate the attack. Sewaddle tackles Dwebble, countering its X-Scissor, causing Dwebble to lose its shell. Sewaddle uses Razor Leaf and tackles Dwebble. With Razor Leaf, Dwebble is defeated. Burgh calls Dwebble back and sends Whirlipede instead. Iris and Cilan see Whirlipede is a tough Pokémon, but Ash has no available Pokémon, being at a disadvantage. Whirlipede starts with Poison Sting, though Sewaddle uses String Shot to go up. It uses String Shot on Whirlipede, who rolls to cut the thread. Whirlipede uses Steamroller, hitting Sewaddle. It repeats the attack, negating Sewaddle's Razor Leaf. Sewaddle uses Bug Bite, though Whirlipede uses Iron Defense.
Whirlipede uses Steamroller and fires a Solarbeam. After the attack, Sewaddle evolves into Swadloon. Swadloon uses String Shot, but Whirlipede rolls, countering the move. Whirlipede uses Steamroller, so Swadloon uses String Shot to dodge. However, Whirlipede cuts the thread and uses Steamroller, but gets stopped by Swadloon's Energy Ball. Swadloon tackles Whirlipede, defeating it. Burgh calls Whirlipede back and sends Leavanny. Meanwhile, Team Rocket contact the HQ, though Giovanni's secretary replies. Team Rocket what their next assignment is, but the secretary replies it is up to them and logs out. Team Rocket is surprised, but see they need to go on their own missions, planning on catching Pikachu once and for all. Suddenly, a wild Yamask appears in the warehouse, so Jessie sends Woobat to catch it. However, James thinks it is hungry. After eating the food, Yamask joins Team Rocket, allowing itself to be caught by James.
Swadloon uses Energy Ball, but gets countered by Leavanny's Protect. Leavanny wraps Swadloon with String Shot, so Swadloon uses Razor Leaf on itself to free itself from the threads. Leavanny uses Leaf Storm, hitting Swadloon and defeats it with Hyper Beam. Ash calls Swadloon back and Oshawott comes out. Ash chooses Pikachu, shocking Oshawott, who is called back. Ash sends Pikachu, while Burgh admits one cannot expect what the challenger will send in the Gym Battle. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but misses and uses Iron Tail. Leavanny protects itself and uses Leaf Storm, while Pikachu collides using Thunderbolt. Leavanny uses String Shot, wrapping Pikachu. Leavanny uses Leaf Storm, while Pikachu cannot use Quick Attack, as he is wrapped and gets hit.
Pikachu tries to break the thread. Leavanny uses Leaf Storm, attacking Pikachu, who uses Thunderbolt, but misses. Leavanny uses Hyper Beam, hitting Pikachu. It uses Leaf Storm, but Pikachu rolls, allowing the attack to cut the threads and Pikachu is freed. Leavanny uses String Shot, though Pikachu avoids it with Quick Attack and counters it with Thunderbolt. Using Iron Tail and Electro Ball, Pikachu defeats Leavanny. Burgh comes to Ash and gives him the Insect Badge and adds it to the case. Later, the heroes bid farewell to Burgh, as they continue onwards.
- This episode had some elements similar to Gettin' the Bugs Out.
- The Gyms are shaped as greenhouses.
- Burgh encountered the heroes in his Gym on a tree, similar to Bugsy.
- Ash used Pikachu, a Fire-type Starter Pokémon (Cyndaquil) and a Grass-type Pokémon (Chikorita).
- Bugsy's Spinarak, like Ash's Swadloon, used String Shot to move and dodge attacks.
- This episode was supposed to air two weeks later but was bumped after the episode "Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma" delayment.
- Jessie and James return to wearing their regular uniforms rather than the black colored ones they'd been wearing in the past couple of episodes.
- The music motto of Team Rocket in the Diamond & Pearl series is back and added to the Black & White series.
- Like Cacnea, James befriended and fed Yamask to catch it.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Herdier
- The "Who's That Pokémon?" is Leavanny.

Nam Phriks: Spicy Thai Dips Perfect for Barbecue Season
These Thai chili dips are a great match for summer's grilled meats and vegetables
LIKE MOST MEALS in Thailand, this one began with a mortar and pestle. I was visiting a coffee farm outside the Northern Thai capital, Chiang Mai. While my host bagged coffee beans, her aunt, a woman named Pong who spoke no English, waved me into the kitchen to help make lunch.
First order of business: nam phrik ong, one of the chili-based dips that accompany nearly every Thai meal. In the mortar, Pong pounded garlic, dried red chilies, shallots and shrimp paste. When Pong's mixture had become a rough paste, she began to fry it on a gas stove, sending aromatic smoke up to the ceiling beams. After a minute she mixed in ground pork, and then threw in cherry tomatoes, stirring frequently as they broke down and released their juices.
The finished product was essentially a Thai Bolognese, but instead of pouring it over pasta, we rolled up balls of sticky rice and dunked them in, one bite at a time. More dippables appeared: curlicues of puffy pork rind, slices of raw cucumber and Thai eggplant, and parboiled long beans and cabbage. The deep-red dip was tart and sweet as well as savory, with a gentle chili heat. Pong grinned as I attempted to balance a small mountain of it on a single long bean.
"Nam phrik" translates as "chili water," but really it refers to a sort of salsa-relish love child. These dips can be thick or thin, searing or mild, studded with meat or seafood or neither, depending on what part of Thailand you're in. Markets all over the country sell nam phriks by the bag, usually alongside a buffet of raw and parboiled vegetables, plus grilled fish and sausage, for dipping.
"I could go on for hours about nam phriks," said Kris Yenbamroong, chef-owner of Night + Market in Los Angeles, where he serves a lemongrass-and-galangal-laced nam phrik ong based on a recipe from his family's village in Northern Thailand. "It's quintessential Thai—like having hot sauce around, but better."
In the coastal town of Bang Saen, where Ann Redding, chef-owner of Uncle Boon's in New York, spent many family vacations, vendors roamed the beach with tiny charcoal barbecues. They'd grill fresh shrimp, squid and fish on the spot and serve them with nam phrik talay, a thin dip made with lime, garlic, birds-eye chilies and cilantro. "It's light, lively, everything you want with fresh seafood," said Ms. Redding, who now offers a version at her restaurant.
The recipes below aren't set in stone. "Thailand is a small country, but everyone makes nam phrik their own way," said Piyarat Potha Arreeratn, former executive chef at Khong River House in Miami, which serves a simple roasted-green-chili dip from Northern Thailand called nam phrik num. "Everything is to taste," he emphasized; experimentation is encouraged. And though traditional recipes call for pounding the ingredients in a mortar and pestle, a food processor makes preparation a cinch. Served as an appetizer or party snack, these bright, bold dips pair particularly well with the grilled meats and bountiful vegetables of late summer.
Nam Phrik Ong
You can serve this dip with fried pork rinds; raw cucumber; and parboiled squash, cauliflower and long beans. Specialty ingredients can be found at Asian markets or online at templeofthai.com.

Total Time: 5 minutes Makes: 1 cup
5 cloves garlic
12 green Thai bird chilies, stemmed
2 tablespoons cilantro
1 tablespoon palm sugar
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup white vinegar
¼ cup fish sauce
Zest of 1 lime
Pinch of salt

Birth Control: How to Decide
Choosing what type of birth control to use can be confusing. It helps to start by answering a few basic questions. Consider the following:
- The importance of protection against STDs
- The level of effectiveness you desire
- Are convenience and cost are important for your decision?
While abstinence is the only 100% effective birth control method, other methods can be very nearly as effective when used properly.
Fertility Awareness
Fertility awareness is also referred to as natural family planning. This method involves timing sexual activity to avoid a woman's most fertile periods. Measuring basal body temperature and monitoring cervical mucus are ways to determine when a woman is fertile. Your health care professional can train you in the safest way to use this method correctly.
Pros: It's inexpensive and does not involve drugs or medical procedures.
Cons: Spontaneity is limited, and it is only effective about 75% of the time (meaning you have a 1 in 4 chance of getting pregnant).
Spermicides are chemicals that kill sperm and prevent them from fertilizing the egg. They are available in different forms such as foams, creams, jellies, or films. Spermicides must be inserted into the vagina before sexual activity and are most commonly used with other birth control methods rather than alone. Some women may have tissue irritation if spermicides are used frequently.
Pros: Low cost and easy to use.
Cons: No protection against STDs, and may in fact increase the risk of transmission; effectiveness is limited (about 29% of users get pregnant).
Male Condom
Barrier methods involve prevention of contact between sperm and egg. The latex male condom is the classic method of barrier contraception. It protects against both pregnancy and most STDs. Couples who use male condoms experience about a 15% yearly pregnancy rate.
Pros: Easy to obtain, inexpensive, protects against most STDs.
Cons: Must be used correctly with each instance of sexual activity.
Female Condom
The female condom is a newer birth control option that is a plastic, pouch-like device put inside the vagina before sex. It can be inserted up to 8 hours prior to sexual activity. The female condom is slightly less effective than the male condom in preventing pregnancy. It should not be used together with a male condom due to the risk of breakage.
Pros: Offers some protection against STDs.
Cons: May be noisy, 21% of users become pregnant.
The diaphragm is another method of barrier contraception. It is a rubber dome that is inserted into the vagina and placed over the cervix before sexual activity. A diaphragm is typically used together with a spermicide. Its effectiveness is comparable to that of the male condom.
Pros: Low cost (the diaphragm costs $15-$75 and lasts two years).
Cons: No protection against STDs, must be fitted by a physician, cannot use during menstruation.
Cervical Cap
The cervical cap is another barrier method of contraception. It is smaller than the diaphragm and fits over the cervix. Like the diaphragm, the cervical cap is used with spermicide. About 15% of women who have never had children will become pregnant using this method; the risk increases to 30% for those who have had children.
Pros: Low cost, can remain in place up to 48 hours.
Cons: Requires a doctor visit for fitting, can't be used during the menstrual period, does not protect against STDs.
Birth Control Sponge
The Today Sponge is a foam sponge saturated with spermicide. It is inserted into the vagina and placed against the cervix. It can be inserted up to 24 hours prior to sexual activity. Its effectiveness is comparable to that of the cervical cap; failure rates are 16% for women who have not had children and 32% of women who have given birth.
Pros: Immediate effectiveness, prescription and doctor visit not required.
Cons:Can be hard to use correctly, does not protect against STDs.
Birth Control Pill
Most oral contraceptive (or birth control) pills use a combination of estrogen and progestin hormones. The pill is the most common type of hormonal contraceptive and is highly effective. A prescription is required, and side effects may occur. Light spotting between periods and breast tenderness are common side effects. More serious side effects can include raised blood pressure and blood clots. The pill is not appropriate for all women.
Pros: Very effective, may reduce menstrual cramping and lead to lighter periods.
Cons: Cost is $15 to $50/month, no protection against STDs, side effects.
Birth Control Patch
The birth control patch is another type of hormonal contraceptive. The patch is applied to the skin and left in place for a week. It is changed weekly for 3 weeks, then for the fourth week no patch is worn. The patch contains the same types of hormones as the pill, and its effectiveness is comparable to that of the pill.
Pros: Lighter periods with less cramping, no need for a daily pill.
Cons: Same cost as birth control pills, no STD protection, may cause skin irritation.
Vaginal Ring
The vaginal ring contains the same hormones as the pill and patch. It is worn inside the vagina and is replaced once a month. It may cause irritation of the vaginal wall along with the same side effects as the pill or patch.
Pros: Lighter and regular periods.
Cons: Cost is $30 to $50/month, side effects, no protection against STDs.
Birth Control Shot
A hormonal injection called Depo-Provera can protect against pregnancy for three months. It is more effective than the birth control pill; only 3% of women using this method will get pregnant in one year. It may cause spotting or other side effects.
Pros: Very effective, only injected 4 times/year.
Cons: Costly ($240/year), no protection against STDs, side effects.
Birth Control Implant
The same hormone in the birth control shot can be delivered in an implant. The implant is a small, matchstick-sized device implanted beneath the skin of the upper arm. Its effect lasts 3 years, and it has a failure rate of less than 1%. Like other hormonal methods, it can cause side effects including spotting or irregular bleeding.
Pros: Long-lasting, very effective.
Cons: Very expensive (exam, implant, and insertion cost up to $800), side effects, no STD protection.
The IUD, or intrauterine device, is a small, T-shaped device inserted by a doctor into the uterus. It prevents pregnancy for a number of years. ParaGard is the name for an IUD that contains copper and can be effective for up to 12 years. Another type of IUD known as Mirena contains hormones and is effective for 5 years. Both types of IUDs are highly effective.
Pros: Long-lasting effect.
Cons: May cause irregular or heavy periods, expensive, side effects, may slip out of place.
Tubal Ligation
Permanent birth control is an option for women who are certain they do not want to have children in the future. Tubal ligation, or having one's "tubes tied" is a surgical procedure that closes off the Fallopian tubes so that eggs do not travel into an area where contact with sperm is possible. Surgical sterilization is nearly 100% effective.
Pros: Highly effective, permanent.
Cons: Surgery required, may not be reversible, costly, no protection against STDs.
Tubal Implants
Tubal implants are placed inside the Fallopian tubes to block them and prevent pregnancy, in a procedure that does not require surgery. The implants are made of metal or silicone and cause scar tissue to form and block the Fallopian tubes. It takes a few months for the scar tissue to form.
Pros: Permanent, surgery not required, very effective.
Cons: Delay of a few months until effective, irreversible, costly, may increase risk of infection.
Vasectomy is a permanent birth control option for men. Vasectomy is the surgical closure of the vas deferens, the tubes that transport sperm from the testes. This prevents sperm from being released, but ejaculation is still possible. It is almost 100% effective.
Pros: Effective, permanent.
Cons: Surgery required, may not be reversible, not immediately effective.
Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception is hormonal contraception used after sexual activity to protect against pregnancy if no birth control was used. Examples of emergency contraceptives include Plan B, Plan B One-Step, and Next Choice. All of these contain a high dose of a hormone used in birth control pills, and they must be taken within 72 hours of sexual activity. Ella is a type of emergency contraception that uses a non-hormonal drug and can be used up to 5 days after sexual activity.
Options for Older Women
Lifestyle factors and age are important in choosing a birth control option. Hormonal methods like the pill, patch, or implant are not recommended for women over age 35, who smoke, or are obese, due to the risk of serious complications. Women approaching menopause may have an extra benefit from the birth control shot, since it can help relieve symptoms of perimenopause.
The withdrawal method or "pulling out," involves the man withdrawing his penis prior to ejaculation. When done correctly every time, only about 4% of couples will get pregnant in a year, but this can be difficult. More typical results show that about 18% of users become pregnant within a year.
Pros: Free, no hormones or surgery required.
Cons: No protection against STDs, difficult to do correctly.
Least Effective Methods
Without birth control, about 85% of couples will become pregnant in a year. Even birth control methods with low effectiveness will reduce that number.
Most Effective Methods
While abstinence is the only birth control method that is 100% effective, hormonal contraceptives, IUDs, and permanent birth control methods are also highly effective. Barrier methods are moderately effective for typical users.

Document Actions
While graduate programs have (absolute) deadlines by which you must submit all materials, many have rolling admissions, which means that they consider and admit candidates as they receive their applications. Even those schools that do not have rolling admissions often give greater attention to applications received before the great rush at deadline time simply because they have more time to do so.
You should also know that submitting your application early may positively affect any financial aid that you may receive. While some schools may have deadlines as late as April 1, financial aid commitments, including fellowships, assistantships, and grant awards, are often made long before that; this is particularly true of doctoral programs.
- Applicant Information
- Admissions Statement
- Official Transcript(s), Academic Record
- Letters of Recommendation
- GRE (or other) Test Score
Applicant Information
The form gives you an outline of what they require and asks basic information about yourself.
Admissions Statement
The statement of purpose, or personal statement are essay that accompany your application, is your opportunity to present yourself and your goals to the admissions committee. Your statement should be well written and should address your background, your areas of interest, and your future plans. Be as specific as you can about how the program to which you are applying would be the most beneficial to you and how it will enable you to eventually make a significant contribution in your field of study. You want to convince the admissions committee that their program and the qualities you bring are an excellent match. Some applications have topics they want you to address. Be sure to answer the questions that they're asking.
Drafting your statement will be a time consuming process. You will need to write and rewrite. The staff of the Reading/Writing Center, Room 420 TH will be able to help; contact them early. Also, ask your advisors if they will look over your statement for guidance and suggestions.
Official Transcript(s), Academic Record
You are asked to submit the official transcript for each undergraduate school you have attended. (If the grade is on your Hunter transcript, the original transcript would not be required) Graduate and professional schools obviously place greatest emphasis on grades in courses related to your field, but they do consider the totality of your academic record. Your most recent coursework may also be given more scrutiny than the grades from your earlier years. Some programs also look favorably upon a candidate who has pursued a particularly challenging course of study (a double major, a number of upper-level electives outside a student's discipline, and so on), even if it has resulted in a somewhat lower overall GPA.
In short, while most schools do have some general GPA scale for evaluating candidates, they may place your GPA in the context of your particular undergraduate course of study. In the case of MFA candidates, your writing or art sample will carry a good deal of weight.
Letters of Recommendation
Letters of recommendation should be positive statements of support and should substantiate your ability to do well in the graduate program. Select faculty members who know you and your academic work in depth and ask if they can provide you with strong recommendations. (It is helpful if they know the graduate program to which you are applying). You should facilitate the process by providing the evaluators with a copy of your transcript, a resume, and a copy of your application essay. Ask if you should supply them with any other information that would assist them in writing the letters of recommendation. Most graduate schools now request online letters through the online application. You would need to supply your recommender's email address for this process. Please remember to thank your professors for their letters and to inform them of the outcome of your application.
You are asked if you wish to waive your right of access to the letter of recommendation. The letters are generally given greater validity if you choose to do so.
GRE (or other) Test Scores
The weight given to standardized admissions exams varies from program to program and discipline to discipline. For further information on studying for and taking the GRE and other program-specific examinations, please visit our page on Entrance Exams.

I was wondering, if you want to make a NBA game on smartphones, without the license held by EA, the first solution seems to name your teams with a different name, such as "Chicragro Brulls" (this is just for the example), but would it be possible to just call your team with the name of the city, such as "Chicago vs. Dallas" ? I know the first solution was chosen by Pro Evolution Soccer, would you know any other game that don't use a license?
I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice. Blah, blah blah...
Obviously this all depends on where you are doing business, but regardless, I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that while city names are not protected trademarks, you can still be taken to court based on likeness of the name. Especially if you use the same team colors, and so on.
If you want to be on the safe side, just come up with a few dozen new team names and let players rename them. If the player wants to make the Chicago Bulls, then they can name the team that and setup the jersey colors to match.
Better yet, don't even try and compete with EA Sports (and the other AAA sports-realism game studios) and build a basketball game that is more unique: like a bunch of gangs playing street-ball where there are no real rules except put the ball in the hoop. That sounds like way more fun anyway. ;-)
I'm not a lawyer, so this is just my interpretation of the law. Before you release anything, talk to a lawyer. Your legal decisions are your own.
Names of cities are not protected trade marks (yet?), you can use them how you like. You may also look into giving the city name as the default and allowing the player to change the name of the team if they desire.
As far as other games that may employ similar methods, I don't know, and it's not really on topic for the site.

After a series of pull-ups, Mr P tells me
- my hands are paining
- my hands are hurting
What is the rationale behind using paining and hurting? What is the difference? Is one of them more appropriate or is one of them totally incorrect?
After a series of pull-ups, Mr P tells me
What is the rationale behind using paining and hurting? What is the difference? Is one of them more appropriate or is one of them totally incorrect?

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
According to the dictionaries, the verbs pain and hurt are synonymous; and in fact, either can be used in almost any context where the other is used. In contemporary American use, however, they aren't.
pain as a verb is used almost exclusively where non-physical pain is involved:
Hurt, however, is used in both physical and non-physical contexts:
In my experience (although, again, the dictionaries say otherwise), pain is never used intransitively in American use:
Pain can be used as a verb in this way, when it means, in the Oxford English Dictionary's definition, 'Of a limb, joint, etc.: to ache, be painful.' It is, however, colloquial, and not heard very often. It may be a feature of Indian English, but in most contexts such as the one you describe, hurt is the verb to use.
Both paining and hurting are present participles; thus, grammatically, these are interchangeable.
The meanings of these words as verbs are similar.
If this clause is intended to imply that your hands are causing pain to someone else (not likely), then these words are interchangeable. However, this usage would generally require an object in order to make sense.
In the more likely scenario if the implication that your hands are painful or causing a sensation of pain in the hand-bearer, then hurt would be used intransitively and pain transitively.
The verb is most likely intransitive here (we can't know without context), in which case "My hands are hurting" would be more correct.

During cancer treatment, it is very important that you be well hydrated. Water is needed to keep your body functioning. It is needed for regulating your temperature and for removing wastes and toxins. Two-thirds of your body is water. Even mild dehydration can cause some of the following symptoms:
You should have at least 64 ounces of fluid a day. You can do this by drinking:
If you have a fever, diarrhea or vomiting you will need more fluids to replace fluids that are lost. Thirst is not always a good indicator of how well you are hydrated. Keep track of the fluids you drink to make sure you are getting enough fluids to stay hydrated.
All food contains some fluid. Only those that are liquid at room temperature should be counted toward your goal of 64 ounces per day. The following is a list of foods and beverages that can be counted toward your fluid goal:
* Drinks that contain caffeine will contribute to fluid loss. Use decaffeinated versions of these drinks instead.
If you do not like to drink plain water, try carbonated waters, flavored waters, add a slice of lemon or lime, or mix water with fruit juice.
If you have severe vomiting and can't keep fluids down, try sucking on ice cubes and ice chips, and taking small sips of fluids frequently. This will be better tolerated, than drinking 6 or 8 ounces at one time.
Even when following your care provider's advice, you may become dehydrated. If this occurs, your care provider may recommend IV fluids or other treatment for dehydration or the conditions causing dehydration. If you experience the following symptoms of dehydration, contact your care team immediately:

For example, I'm a developer, and my app is released with a minimum iOS of 3.0 required. If I release an update requiring iOS 5.0, what happens? Can existing customers running 3.0 attempt to update? What error message (if any) do they receive when attempting this? Will customers running 3.0 get the 'Update' notification in their app store app?
When an iPhone app is updated and the minimum required iOS increases, what happens for customers who still have the lower iOS?
When the user tries to install the update, the app store will alert the user saying something like "you must have iOS5 to install this update.". The user will still be able to use the current version they they have, though.
Nothing. The app doesn't create any problem until it is deleted. To be re-installed, it requires update, after being deleted once.
As a user, I've found that iTunes downloads the latest app regardless of what iOS the user is using on their device.
iTunes downloads the latest app and deletes (or asks to delete) older app versions from the user's iTunes library – an unwary user will click Yes to deleting the older version, and will be happy to get the latest version.
It is only when the user tries to install this latest version on their device (after removing the older app from their device) that iTunes will then raise the alarm that it is not compatible with their device.
The user is then left without the older version or the update.
It is Apple's hope that the user has backed up their iTunes library prior to downloading updates to their apps. This is a different procedure than just using iTunes to back up their devices, which only backs up the Data on the users' devices and not their apps purchased (downloaded) through iTunes.
If the user doesn't have a backup, Apple does not maintain older versions of apps. So the user has no means of retrieving older versions from the App Store.

5 Cobra Commander Terror Plots That Might Actually Work
Cracked usually runs articles about things you used to watch when you were a kid and how, upon further examination, they are way more retarded than you remember. We secretly hate our younger selves for being such embarrassing dumb asses, and pointing out how stupid the Smurph language is helps us cope with the anger.
So we were all ready to point out how far-fetched Cobra Commander's plots for world domination were, but the more we remembered, the more we were reminded of the news.
#5. The Wrong Stuff
"We possess the ultimate weapon of control! People trust television! It's their friend! They believe what television tells them about the news, television... even G.I. Joe!"
The Plot:
In one of their many attempts to use television for evil, Cobra Commander uses stolen satellites and an inexplicable headquarters in the Himalayas to take over the airwaves, broadcasting Cobra TV to turn public opinion against G.I. Joe and in favor of their snake-themed one world government.
Programming includes classic movies with the endings changed to reflect a more anarchistic world view, a version of the Smurfs that was even more socialist than the original, and while we didn't actually see the Right-Wing Australian punditry of The Zartan Factor, we're pretty sure it was in there somewhere.
Why It Might've Worked:
For an organization that once tried to conquer the world through mind-control chewing gum, this is actually not a bad plan. Sure, their shows are bad and the re-cut movie endings are stupid, but if there's anything we've learned from the fact that Two and a Half Men is the highest rated comedy on television, it's that people will watch anything, especially if it's stupid. Seriously, just try getting through one of Jimmy Fallon's monologues without wishing you were being indoctrinated into the ranks of the Televipers instead.
#4. The Great Alaskan Land Rush
"Who are you?"
"The new owner of Alaska, hockey puck!"
The Plot:
Cobra Commander attempts to take over Alaska; not through force of arms, but by using a little-known loophole in William Seward's original treaty that gives legal ownership of the state to whoever has possession of the state seal--presumably rechristening it as Cobralaska and making it the first step in eventual world domination. This, as you might imagine, is a fairly stupid plan.
Why It Might've Worked:
The idea of a babbling laughingstock wrestling power away from the U.S. Government using an obscure and possibly fictitious clause in a state document might've seemed like a stretch in the 80s, but that's pretty much exactly what Texas Governor Rick Perry was doing when he started advocating secession based on something he essentially made up. Once again, Cobra Commander was decades ahead of his time.
As for the people of Alaska, well, they would later go on to elect Gubernatorial Beauty Queen Sarah Palin, elevating her from her status as the former mayor of the state's meth capital to a historic Vice Presidential campaign that brought her perilously close to actually running the United States of America before she lost and decided it was better to quit than to lose a basketball game. Or something like that. Point being, the rest of us are starting to get the idea that Alaskans might just be into girls who wear glasses and have goofy accents, and trust us: Cobra's got that one covered.
#3. Cobrathon
"By the serpent gods of the netherworld! How do you expect me to raise five billion dollars?!"
The Plot:
In order to fund the development of a destructive computer virus, the Cobra organization holds a telethon, taking pledges from various other terrorist organization while putting on a show. The centerpiece, of course, is the execution of Joes Lifeline and Sci-Fi, but they were also counting on other acts, like Destro's truly awful stand-up comedy routine, to keep the cash rolling in.
Why It Might've Worked:
As mentioned above, Destro's attempt at stand-up comedy is terrible. The jokes are bad, the delivery's over the top, and he seems to be getting through it by appealing to the worst of an audience with abysmally low standards.
Dane Cook and Larry the Cable Guy made $20,000,000 in 2008.
