Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among American women. Breast cancer is a group of related diseases in which cells within the breast become abnormal and divide without control or order. The most common types of breast cancer occur in the lining of the ducts or in the lobules of the breast.
One in nine women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Approximately 160,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year. Most breast cancer occurs in women over the age of 50 years. With earlier detection methods, breast cancer is now found at an early stage of development in the majority of women.
All women are at risk for breast cancer. But women with a strong family history of breast cancer, a personal history of breast cancer, early first menstruation, late menopause, or first full-term pregnancy after age 30 are at a higher risk. The risk of developing breast cancer also increases with age. Long-term estrogen therapy, a high-fat diet and alcohol use have been reported as possible risk factors, but their relationship to breast cancer is uncertain. Many women who get breast cancer have none of the known risk factors. In most cases, the disease is probably the result of several factors -- known or unknown -- acting together.
The key to cure is early detection and prompt treatment. Physical exams by health care professionals, mammograms and monthly breast self-exams are the important keys to early detection. Women should report any physical changes in their breasts to a doctor. Warning signs include a lump or thickening of the breast or armpit; a change in the size or shape of the breast; a discharge from the nipple; or a change in the color or feel of the skin of the breast or nipple.
To find out the causes of these symptoms, a doctor performs a thorough physical exam. He or she may order blood tests and X-rays. The doctor also may need to remove a piece of breast tissue and look at it under the microscope to see if there are cancer cells present.
There are many treatments for breast cancer. Treatment depends on the size and location of the tumor in the breast and extent of the disease in the armpit and the rest of the body. To develop a treatment plan to fit each patient's needs, the doctor also considers the woman's age and general health, as well as her feelings about the treatment options. Treatments used either alone or in combination include: surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Clinical trials that test new treatments also may be offered.

5 Popular Self-Help Tips That Actually Hurt Your Career
We all want to be successful, but things like tyrannical bosses, stapler-stealing co-workers and the statistical impossibility of every single person being a CEO keep bringing us down. So we try to balance the scales by following the advice of self-help books or motivational guides -- sure, a lot of those things are probably bullshit, but it can't hurt to give them a try, right?
Actually, yes. Yes, it can hurt, because several of the "tips" that you'd expect to help you are actually messing you up. It turns out you're not a success because you do things like ...
#5. Being Too Smart Makes You Crack Under Pressure
Most of us would say that the only surefire way to achieve success (short of, you know, busting your ass for several years and making the most of your opportunities) is by being smarter than everyone else. Yet the real world doesn't seem to bear this out. How many of you have a boss who seems to be a moron and is also way more successful than you? Well, there's a scientific explanation for why smarter people can end up stuck in dead-end jobs. Basically, it's because they're more likely to screw up under pressure.
The safest thing to do when in danger is to be too stupid to know you are in danger.
When you're smart, your brain works differently than everyone else. Smart people have higher working memory capacity to work with, either because they trained it or they were born with it. This higher working-memory allows them to excel, but studies have found that it also causes them to screw up more often than the rest of us.
Researchers recruited participants and divided them into two groups: the high working memory crowd (HWM) and the low working memory doofuses (LWM). They gave them a math test and to nobody's surprise at all (except a few of the LWM guys), the HWM group scored significantly higher.
"If you'll turn to page 514 of our findings, you'll find that we're almost positive that smart people are smarter."
But performing a task for work or school is very different than doing it in a lab -- there's a lot more pressure in a real world scenario, so they changed the conditions. They told both groups that they'd have another math test, but this time their high performance would earn them cash and their results were going to be examined by math professors. The results of that next test? The score of the HWM guys dipped so badly that they had become just as horrible as the scores of the LWM, while the LWM crowd scored just about the same. The stress brought on by the extra incentives didn't affect the stupid guys at all, while the HWM were pissing in their boots.
And this isn't just because the nerdy guys were naturally more nervous. The researchers suggest that the anxiety you get from stressful situations lives in the same part of your brain as the working memory, which means that people with high working memory capacity also have higher levels of stress. By making yourself smarter, you're also making yourself more susceptible to falling into a mental wreck. They were using their extra brain power to psyche themselves out. Does that sound like anyone you know?
"I'm not incompetent, I'm a tortured genius!"
#4. Visualizing Your Own Success Makes You Lazier
You've probably heard about a little self-help book called The Secret -- if you didn't read it yourself, then chances are you know someone who did and wouldn't shut up about it a few years ago. And if you're more selective about your friends than we are, then here's a spoiler for you: According to the book, "the secret" is that you can achieve success by thinking really hard about it. Just imagine yourself riding a yacht made of diamond, and the universe will eventually provide it.
"Unfortunately, he died of cancer because he didn't want to live hard enough."
Even if you don't believe the magic behind it, on the surface it seems like sound advice. Isn't "visualizing success" what all goal-driven people do? Don't they sit around all day imagining what their lives will be like once they get the big promotion or sell their big invention? Isn't that what motivates them to make it real?
Actually, no. Science has shown that, shockingly, these type of fantasies don't help you succeed -- they actually do the exact opposite.
It turns out that the more you fantasize about something, the more satisfaction you get from those fantasies and the less motivated you feel to actually turn them into a reality. This goes for everything from getting a new job to hooking up with that girl you like: Why go through the potential embarrassment of asking her out when you can get the same kind of satisfaction just thinking about it? At least that's the way your brain sees it.
Clearly your brain has never touched an actual boob.
To study this, researchers performed several tests where participants were asked to fantasize about specific scenarios (of the non-boner-inducing kind). They then tested the participants' blood pressure -- which indicates how much energy their body is giving them to perform a certain task -- and found that people who were induced with fantastical thoughts had lower levels of energy than those who weren't.
So this isn't just a mental thing -- when you visualize yourself achieving one of your goals, your body goes, "Cool, I can take it easy now," and actually starts winding down. This explains why, according to previous studies, people who are more likely to fantasize about being successful are also more likely to apply for fewer jobs, earn a lower salary, and get fewer job offers.
This is also why you will never sleep with Scarlett Johansson and/or Channing Tatum.
And this goes for pretty much everything. You think you're going to do better at a darts game? You do worse. You imagine you're going to do well on a test? You'll even get your name wrong, probably. Researchers even had people fantasize about recovering faster from an injury only to confirm they'd heal slower, which was kind of a dick move. This isn't to say that positive thinking doesn't have its benefits -- it does and almost certainly makes you happier. It just isn't the best motivator.
On a similar note ...
#3. Telling Your Goals to Your Friends Makes You Give Up Faster
So what you really need to avoid the above pitfall is someone else to hold your feet to the fire. That's why one of the most common ways to motivate ourselves to accomplish something is simply sharing our goals with other people -- if your friends know that your New Year's resolution was to finally write that Sonic/Shrek erotic novel, for example, then you're more likely to get off your ass and do it, right? Otherwise they'll keep asking you how the novel is going and you'll be forced to admit you gave up the dream.
Hemingway probably went through the same thing when he was writing his fan fiction novels.
But once again, that's not the way the human brain works. Science has shown that sharing goals with your friends (or anyone at all) can actually make you less motivated to get shit done.
In a series of studies, researchers asked college students about what they wanted to do with their lives and told them to estimate how productive they thought they'd be the next week. The answers were filled in anonymous forms, but when the forms were being collected, half the students could clearly see that the researchers were checking out their answers, supposedly to confirm that they filled them correctly.
"In 'What do you want to do with your life?' you drew a man punching a dinosaur."
The other students had their results ignored. This was to ensure that the first half knew that someone else was aware of their aspirations and goals and also to stress to the second half that no one gives a shit about them.
Afterward, the researchers kept track of all the participants and found out that when they'd told people about their goals, the students were less likely to work toward them. You'd think that those whose aspirations had been recognized would actually work harder to avoid looking like lazy slobs, but the opposite happened: Just sharing their intentions with another person had made them more lazy.
"Screw this city council crap. Let's give that whole 'anarchy' thing a try."
Much like the "fantasizing drains your energy" thing, this comes down to the funny way our brains work and also the fact that we're all huge egomaniacs. By announcing our intentions to the rest of the world, we get a taste of the same recognition we'd get if we actually accomplished those goals. Unfortunately, for most people that small taste is enough and they'll be less motivated to follow through with their work.
But isn't getting feedback along the way important? Well ...

Funding for Gifted Kids
Q: My third-grader's I.Q. test score was 144 and was evaluated as being Intellectually Gifted and Academically Talented. I, on the other hand, would guess that I am a little above average in intelligence and very thick the rest of the time. Perhaps this explains why I am not able to understand the reason that gifted children are overlooked as being special-needs students.
I recently sent an inquiry to our local public-school system asking for a breakdown in the difference between funds spent on learning-disabled students and gifted students. I learned that the average spent on the LD child was $3,100 annually, for the gifted/talented child, it was $700.
This is apparently true all over the country. Is there a legitimate reason for this? My daughter deserves a much more enriching education than she is receiving. I want to do something to change the present situation.
A: Historically, funding for gifted and talented students has lagged behind that for other categories of special education. In fact, in some states gifted and talented is not even considered a part of special education. Nationally, although a definition of giftedness has existed since the early 70's, mandates for services and funding for programs have been slow in coming.
Right now, Congress is considering legislation to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The current federal Javits research program (named for the late NY Senator Jacob Javits, an early advocate for the gifted and talented) has been included in both the House and Senate versions of ESEA, and the grants-to-states program to support gifted education is included in the Senate bill. Passage of these two measures would authorize a federal grants program to support gifted and talented education, and retain the Javits research program. However, funding for these programs involves a separate process in the Appropriations Committees of both chambers. The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) is requesting $170 million total. This legislation is also supported by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).
If you support this legislation, you should contact your senator or representative by letter or email. Many email addresses for members of Congress are available at www.senate.gov or www.house.gov. All members of Congress receive mail at a general address: U.S. Senate, Washington, DC 20510 or U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515. You may be able to contact your senators or representatives through their local office or by attending a public forum that many members hold during recess periods. You might also consider writing a letter to the editor of your local paper.
The difference in federal funding between gifted and talented and other areas of special education is largely due to specific legislation and funding that has been received by the latter groups. Advocacy for these groups has been more effective and more vocal.
Locally, you might also want to form a group of parents to advocate for gifted and talented children in your district, or to work with other parents across your state to increase state funding. An excellent reference on advocacy for your gifted child is Joan Franklin Smutny's book Stand Up For Your Gifted Child: How to Make the Most of Kids' Strengths at School and at Home.

Historic Speech
Philip Hamburger
For First Amendment scholar Philip Hamburger, analysis of legal history serves to illuminate modern-day truths
As an undergraduate at Princeton, Professor Philip Hamburger cultivated an interest in freedom of speech. While poring over centuries-old cases on a university-subsidized trip to conduct research in a London archive, he became intimately acquainted with one of the most egregious historical examples of speech suppression: England's Star Chamber, which, during the 16th and 17th centuries, mandated that all publications receive governmental approval.
During the decades that followed his Star Chamber research, Hamburger has become a prominent constitutional scholar and legal historian, with two award-winning books to his credit and a well-honed expertise in freedom of speech. In recent years, he has grappled with a modern-day Star Chamber problem. Beginning in the early aughts, fellow academics started contacting Hamburger and reported being unable to publish their research because it lacked a university stamp of approval.
Federal regulations state that anyone with a university affiliation who wishes to publish research involving human subjects must receive approval from the relevant school's Institutional Review Board, or IRB. Failing to do so can jeopardize federal research funding.
Hamburger, Columbia Law School's Maurice and Hilda Friedman Professor of Law, says he was flabbergasted upon learning of these limitations. "My immediate reaction was, 'Wait a minute—that's unconstitutional,'" he recalls. "'It's prior licensing, and prior licensing is what the Star Chamber did, and that's banned by the U.S. Constitution.'"
IRB approval is meant to protect human subjects from harm, but Hamburger argues in two law review articles that the process can delay crucial medical discoveries. "It's the most systematic and widespread violation of freedom of speech in the nation's history," he says.
Hamburger's interest in IRBs also led to related research on the issue of unconstitutional conditions on speech—for instance, when the federal government requires radio and television broadcasters to avoid profanity as a condition to their use of public airwaves. In a recent article, he asserts that, although the federal government may impose conditions on the benefits it gives out, it cannot make an end run around constitutional limitations on its power, even when a beneficiary of government assistance has given consent. Churches and other charitable, educational, and religious organizations enjoy tax-exempt status on the condition of not engaging in overt political lobbying or campaigning. But, Hamburger argues, such an arrangement still constitutes censorship.
The relationship between religion and government happens to be another subject of profound interest to Hamburger. His 2002 book, Separation of Church and State, used painstaking historical research to argue that, contrary to the assumptions of most Americans, there is no language that enshrines "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. That contention raised a few eyebrows, which was just fine with Hamburger—who, in almost every case, refuses to join the political fray. When his Separation of Church and State book was published the same week that two high-profile court decisions on religion and the First Amendment had been decided, for example, he declined comment to The New York Times.
"I'm interested in intellectual debate—the principles," Hamburger says. "Whether someone wins or loses on one thing or another matters less to me."

There's no cure for Churg-Strauss syndrome, but certain medications may help even people with serious symptoms achieve remission. A good outcome and a reduced risk of complications from both the disease and its treatment are more likely when Churg-Strauss syndrome is diagnosed and treated early.
Medications used to treat Churg-Strauss syndrome include:
Because of the possible connection between montelukast and Churg-Strauss syndrome, your doctor may take you off this medication to see if your signs and symptoms improve.

Every time I cast this, I die. I have tried constantly casting the bubble shield, but I can't cast it fast enough. Lightning immunity (lightning shield middle mouse) doesn't seem to help at all.
Dome shield is indeed your answer.
The mines not only heal you, but your shield, which starts about only 10% health. It can actually withstand a beating but you need to constantly invest more health in it.
This is a lot easier if you don't move once you plant your shield, or you'll be bouncing all around it from the healing explosions.
Currently (As of Jan 31, 2012) it is possible to have immunity to both lightning and water although they are opposite elements. This is done by combining the water with either ice or fire to make steam, which can coexist with lightning, then reverting it back to water with the opposite of ice or fire you used earlier as the last element conjured. For example, [QFAER] makes Steam, Lightning, Shield, then the cold cancels the fire in steam leaving you with Water, Lightning, Shield. You cannot conjure another element after the cancel or the game will detect and eliminate your opposite pair of Water and Lightning. The most versatile shield of this type is [QFQFASER] Which grants Steam, Water, Arcane, and Lightning immunity. Why would this be useful? You can, for instance, conjure up a Thunderstorm [QFQFASA] magick and be completely immune to its effects while spamming Arcane Steam Rocks [QFSD] everywhere. You will also be dry during the Thunderstorm in case you need to conjure Lightning for any reason - perhaps to revive a party member.
P.S. Try this in the elemental section of Niflheim - The rain will instantly turn them all into water elementals, and the lightning strikes will instantly kill them.
Source - Magickapedia
Use any of the following methods:
If you're only going for the achievement, do it in singleplayer. It's easier for one player to survive the Thunderstorm.
There are a few ways to handle this.
The EASIEST method is a permanent lightning immunity staff. During Grimnir's mind battle, the last opponent you face is a dwarf wizard who drops a "rod of righteous runes" - the permanent lightning immunity it grants would see you through a thunderstorm with ease. You can also get this staff in chapter 11 when you face them there. The downside is that its active ability is quite weak, and the broad immunity circle may make nearby opponents lit immune. If you're just going for the achievement though, this will work.
Without a staff, lightning immunity (lit + shield, self cast) DOES work - but it has two limitations. a) It does NOT apply to your shield, dome or personal shield b) It also fades after a few seconds, so remember to keep re-casting it. I suspect this is where you are failing - you dont notice it's gone and a late hit zaps you.
Hope this helps!
The easiest way to survive Thunderstorm is with the Rod of righteous Runes. It grants you lightning immunity simply by carrying it.

Leaves us with a bit of mystery about how poor the memory is we use. As the rest of the document details that consumer level equipment does not stand up to the tolerances of server level equipment. That may not be shocking to some people, but I firmly believe there is a group of enthusiasts and IT Pros who believes the extra costs of say a Xeon versus an i7 is just raw profit. This document (and the other cited studies) details that you do get greater stability for your money.

The table shows that CPUs from Vendor A are nearly 20x as likely to crash a machine during the 8 month observation period when they are overclocked, and CPUs from Vendor B are over 4x as likely. After a failure occurs, all machines, irrespective of CPU vendor or overclocking, are significantly more likely to crash from additional machine check exceptions.

As shown in Figure 5, underclocked machines are between 39% and 80% less likely to crash during the 8 month observation period than machines with CPUs running at their rated frequency.

I have started using TuxGuitar, and the tuning has left be confused.
For example I have the option to select B1 to B9 tuning, instead of just B, is this an error or what are the difference between _1 to _9?
For more details check this screen-shot:
The program gives you the ability to choose how many strings you want, and then the tuning of each of these strings.
The numbers 1-9 refer to octaves. So, for instance, you could choose to tune a 12 string guitar by doubling each string at pitch or by doubling each string at an octave higher.
The pitches are named according to Scientific Pitch Notation. Each octave receives a number and each pitch receives a letter.

Feature suggestions for Ext.plugin.PullRefresh
A suggestion for the PullRefresh plugin:
This is a useful user-interface feature, but sometimes you need to use it on a component that isn't a List. For example, you might use it on a generic Container that contains several data views, all of which need to be refreshed.
For the most part, you can accomplish this by defining a "refreshFn" to load the data yourself. But when you do this, the init() function shouldn't call list.getStore() or list.setLoadingText(null).

I have found that when a table has both clustered and non-clustered indexes (on different columns), the leaf level non-clustered pages, instead of pointing to the data row, point to the node of the clustered index, from where another search is instituted to find the data row. What is the point of this extra level of indirection? If the clustered index has, say, 8 levels, then the indirection from the NCI leaf page to the CI root would have to traverse through these 8 levels to reach the data. Why not store the normal RID in the NCI leaf page so that we can access the data at once without going through the CI index structure?

The reason for this is that the "fixed" physical location of your row - the RID (or row identifier) might (and will!) change over time - think page splits that occur when a row needs to be inserted into a table on a page that's already full.
Updating those RIDs in all the nonclustered indices that exist on a given table is quickly becoming both a hassle, and a huge performance killer. You might have 5, 10, 20 nonclustered indices on your table, and SQL Server would have to scan all those indices (basically scanning the whole index, all rows in the index, and that 10, 20 times) and update all RIDs.... that's just not practical - very quickly so.
If you store the value of the clustering index as a "row pointer" instead, that value should typically never change - and most definitely it doesn't need to be updated every time a page is split. Yes, it does involve a second index seek operation - the key lookup - but for simple scenarios, retrieving a single row or a few rows, that's still much more efficient than anything else.
In simple terms, it involves less processing and movement of NC index entries when data in the clustered index physically moves (row forwarding, page splits, INSERTs etc).
Mostly the clustered index entries only need changed: not the NC index pointers. By using RIDs, you'd need to do a lot more work on the NC indexes.
To minimize this lookup in a query, you'd make the NC indexes "covering". See Which is better: Bookmark/Key Lookup or Index Scan for example

I had been putting off buying another printer as I don't use one that much and all I've seen are the large, bulky-looking ones. Then I found this Canon at offers.com - a much more compact, wireless printer at such an unbelievably low price and with so many positive reviews - I felt I'd be an idiot to pass it up! It will easily fit on my desk, and I won't have to buy another table or stand for it.

FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Army leaders are used to giving orders to those in their ranks but this Thanksgiving, they're taking orders, serving their soldiers a holiday feast to express their gratitude for the work they do.
Thousands of 1st Infantry Division soldiers take part in the tradition each year and Wednesday, it was the Combat Aviation Brigade's turn.
"The leadership is serving the soldiers and their families as an act of appreciation and respect and for the hard work and commitment and professionalism that our soldiers and families exert each and every day in the defense of this great nation," said Colonel Mike Morgan, Commander of the 1st Combat Aviation Brigade.
Preparations for the massive undertaking started weeks ago. Big Red One soldiers from other brigades will participate in the festivities Thursday.
Each November, the post's dining facilities provide traditional meals as well as decorations in honor of the holiday season.
The meals are open to soldiers, family members and civilians.
Fort Riley currently has 5,000 soldiers deployed to countries around the world who will be apart from their loved ones this holiday season. Many of the Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) soldiers are also far from home.
"I'm from the Virgin Islands. This is my first time away from my family so it's kind of tough but I'm holding on," said Private First Class Neandra Auguste.
The CAB soldiers are savoring this Thanksgiving meal.This time next year, they'll be in southern Afghanistan. They're training to deploy in late summer and have already served two previous deployments to Iraq.
"What we ask of our soldiers and families in this tremendous profession is that they do something that is greater than themselves each and every day... Certainly, over the last 10 years, these soldiers have served a great deal overseas so we cherish the time we have with our families and we encourage our soldiers and their families to enjoy these opportunities," Colonel Morgan told WIBW.

I have a recipe that calls for "6 large baking potatoes." So the question becomes, what is considered the average size of a large baking potato? I've looked online, but sadly do not have time to continue my search and the results appear to be all over the place.
Tough question - there are a lot of non-scientific ways to measure small/medium/large potatoes and nobody seems to agree on exactly what weight each is. However, there are a few ways I identify large vs medium at home.
In my experience, a large potato is about the size you would get in a restaurant (I know, not very specific). That is, when I cook at home, the potatoes I purchase tend to be medium - round (not oval) and about the size of a tennis ball or baseball. When I'm at a restaurant their potatoes are noticeably larger, and generally more oval shaped it seems (closer to a sweet potato in shape and size), which makes them great for stuffing like for a loaded baked potato. Luckily most of the recipes I have at home that involve potatoes don't require precise measurement, so I just stick with my eyeball measurements and don't even bother weighing them.
I found a source online that says this:
And I think I can get behind that answer. I'd say your average computer mouse (like, one you would get with a new PC, not a fancy third-party mouse) is about the size of an average medium potato. Another way to eyeball: I'm a 30 year old male with hands that are neither very large or very small. The medium potatoes in this bag are about the size of a loose fist for me. So a large potato would be bigger than either of those things.
As for measurements, I have a bag of medium potatoes and it says they're 5.3 oz (150g) a piece. I weighed one and it was closer to 6.5oz (185g). Based on that I'd say a large potato would be anything over 8oz (225g), pushing as high as 12oz (340g).
I found a way to search online for this info: calories. By searching for "large potato calories" I was able to find pages with weights and measures:
So, in short, it seems like I would consider these good numbers:
Below is a picture of the medium potato from my bag, compared to some common household/kitchen items. The gift card is the size of a normal credit card, and the knife is a common steak knife from my utensil drawer. Apparently a medium potato is almost exactly the size of a 1 cup measure!
It probably depends where the recipe originated. My Northern Irish in-laws gave me a recipe for Irish stew that called for 6 medium potatoes, and when I made it everyone complained it wasn't potato-y enough! It turns out that their idea of a "medium potato" is WAY bigger than mine.

(CBS News) -- Mitt Romney will sweep three Republican primaries in Indiana, North Carolina and West Virginia Tuesday, CBS News projects.
The expected wins bring Romney closer, but not all the way, to the party's nomination, which he is widely expected win.
The former Massachusetts governor now has more than 900 of the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination, according to CBS News estimates.
With no serious competition, Romney was able to collect about 100 delegates as he makes his way to the party's official nominating convention in Tampa, Florida at the end of August.
Former rival Newt Gingrich dropped his bid for the presidency last week after announcing the prior week that he would be giving up his White House hopes. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum gave up his run for the White House last month. Santorum endorsed Romney late Monday night in an email to supporters.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who has thus far garnered an estimated 89 delegates without winning any contests outright, remains in the race.
Romney has been campaigning vigorously against President Obama and presenting himself as a successful businessman who can lead the country back to economic prosperity.
The two men are in a tight race and likely to engage in a fierce fight for the White House, according to the latest polls.
In a Gallup/ USA Today poll of 12 swing states released this week, Mr. Obama edges out Romney 47 percent to 45 percent -- that's within the poll's four-point margin of error and closer than Gallup's last swing state poll from March, when Mr. Obama held a nine-point lead.
On the critical issue of the economy, Romney has the advantage: In a direct comparison, 47 percent said Romney would do a better job managing the economy, while 44 percent said Mr. Obama would. As many as 60 percent said Romney would do a good job or very good job as president handling the economy over the next four years, while 52 percent said the same about Mr. Obama.

Many books describe how one can construct "by hand" a table of ordinals $1,\ 2,\ \ldots,\ \omega,\ \omega +1,\ \omega +2,\ \ldots,\ \omega\cdot 2,\ \omega\cdot 2 +1,\ \ldots,\ \omega^{2},\ \ldots,\ \omega^{3},\ \ldots\ \omega^{\omega},\ \ldots,\ \omega^{\omega^{\omega}},\ \ldots, \epsilon_{0},\ \ldots$. But does this span the entire ordinal class? For some reason I can't seem to prove it. Is there an easy way to see that? Thanks!
Since ordinal numbers have a unique division, logarithm and subtraction properties, when given an ordinal $\alpha$ you can write any other ordinal as a finite polynomial in $\alpha$, when $\alpha = \omega$ you get what's known as "Cantor normal form of $\gamma$ for the base $\omega$".
I.e., any ordinal $\gamma$ can be written as a finite sum: $$\gamma = \sum_{i=0}^n \omega^{\alpha_i}\cdot\beta_i$$ Where $\alpha_i$ is a decreasing chain of ordinals, and $\beta_i$ is finite.
(More generally, you can take some base $\zeta$ and then $\beta_i < \zeta$)
Thing is that we only have a finite number of symbols, so at most we can represent (uniquely) a countable number of numbers, since we have a proper class of ordinals, which is a mind boggling concept of infinitude, you obviously can't write them all. But still, any given ordinal can be presented as a finite polynomial in $\omega$, thus spanning the table discussed.

I am trying to do some research for a book I am planning to write, and I would like to know how long it would take for a troop transport ship to travel from England to the Gold Coast region of Africa. More specifically, the final destination is the Ashanti tribal region, and the date would be around 1895 or 1896. If anyone could identify any ports of call that might be visited along the way, that would be helpful as well.
Ok, first we need to find the destination port. Wikipedia notes that Ada and Prampram were important ports in addition to Accra. Good, can we find logs from any ships that traveled from England to these destinations?
I searched but couldn't find anything for either Ada or Prampram (maybe these ports already lost their importance in the 19th century). For Accra I finally found two travel descriptions: HMS Amphitrite in 1848 and MV Apapa in 1930. It seems that HMS Amphitrite only lived until 1875 whereas MV Apapa wasn't built before 1927. So none of them could have been used in 1895.
Looking through the list of British ships that could have been used in 1895 I found SS Fazilka, a steam cargo ship that was also used to carry migrants and troops at some points. With a top speed of 12.5 knots it wasn't much slower than MV Apapa (14.5 knots). It took MV Apapa 9 days to go from Liverpool to Freetown (Sierra Leone), SS Fazilka should have been able to make the same journey in 11 days. The trip from Freetown to Accra took another 4 days, SS Fazilka would have been able to do it in 5 days.
Now you have to consider the stops of course. The logs of HMS Amphitrite aren't very representative, the paddle steamer HMS Hydra in 1852 is probably a better example:
So essentially it took HMS Hydra 15 days to travel from England to Sierra Leone, the jorney that MV Apapa did in 9 days. It seems that 11 days for the same journey in 1895 aren't an unreasonable assumption. And the stops are pretty typical (have a look at the logs of the other ships on the same server): Madeira, then Sierra Leone. The next stop would be Accra already. 2-3 days spent in a port seem typical for 19th century, so we would get a total travel time of 16 days plus 4-6 days for the stops meaning 20-22 days.
FWIW, London to Cairo took six days during that period (source: http://archive.org/details/jewsinmanylands00adleiala).

If I visit the blacksmith, I can create (or learn to create) any type of weapon or armor, except for amulets and rings.
If I visit the jewelcrafter, I can create any type of gems.
Does a artisan exist where I can create my own amulets and rings?
At the moment I don't see any, but are there plans that you can find/purchase for either artisan that will allow you to create these items?

At first, if a group G is an infinite loop space (all are based), then
\pi_0(G) must be Abelian. Therefore, if G is discret, then it must be Abelian. In fact, any Abelian group does be infinite loop space, by the EM space construction. But we have non-Abelian examples, the infinite groups U and O are infinite loop spaces, by Bott periodicity. (Does this contradict with the statement that the coefficient of a cohomology must be an Abelian group?) Are there any other examples?
At first, if a group G is an infinite loop space (all are based), then
Edit: I just reread the question, and it says "if a group is an infinite loop space..." I realise the first paragraph of my answer is incorrect. The rest still stands.
Firstly, $\pi_0(G)$ does not have to be abelian - it is $\pi_1(G,e)$ which is abelian, as the Eckmann-Hilton argument shows.
The coefficients of cohomology do not have to be abelian groups, but I guess you are referring to the idea that the ordinary cohomology of a space (singular, or sheaf, say) only makes sense in all non-negative dimensions for abelian-group coefficients. One can define $H^1(X,G)$ ($X$ a space) for a nonabelian (topological) group, but for higher degree cohomology it is not straightforward, see this MO answer.
Now notice that one can use loop spectra as coefficients for cohomology, but one gets an extraordary cohomology theory: this is the case of $U$ and $O$, which represent spectra, and given $K$-theory and $KO$-theory respectively. (see the Wikipedia page on K-theory for example)
There is a recognition principle for infinite loop spaces, which involves a lot of machinery and tells you whether a given space is equivalent to an infinite loop space. More specifically, $Y$ is equivalent to an infinite loop space if and only if ($\pi_0(Y)$ is a group and) $Y$ is an $E_\infty$-space, meaning $Y$ admits a product which is associative and commutative up to some coherent sequence of "higher homotopies". A good place to start reading about this is J. F. Adams' book "Infinite Loop Spaces".

Central Government coming for you next?
October 13, 2013
To paraphrase the late German pastor Martin Niemöller, who will be left to speak up when the Central Government comes for you? Our own Central Government is inexorably coming for us, dividing us......
Why does this person and Mr. Robert Murray (9/15/13 articles) get such wide news space for their opinions? Why is it put in the news sections?
The gas prices are fixed by the Middle East oil producing countries, not by the US Government. The student loans are high because the Colleges raise rates every year and spend millions on non-academic ventures (sports). The so-called government "takeover" of student loans was to reduce the interest charged by and subsidies to large banks. The money from Medicare Advantage was to reduce the Bush era subsidies to big insurance companies and make the Medicare system a level field. The local coal businesses are declining because of market demands. Global companies are turning to cleaner fuels as part of their long-term sustainability efforts. I started in the environmental engineering field in the 1970s. The regional power companies fought the clean air act rules for decades while their utility plants, then old, became older and more ob

Republicans and Tea Party people like Turley have all the talking points from their alternative bizarro world. Republicans hate science and have turned the working populace against commonsense.
My facts come from my international and domestic work experience and from watching Congress operate everyday. I don't get my news from Faux News and conservative lobbying groups.
The last word of my previous comment is "obsolete". Some of the local power plants fought change for decades and now are too old and costly to upgrade. The whine about too much regulation. It would have cost less years ago.
Further, the pollution spewed/spews in the Ohio Valley air, has deposited in our lungs, on our cars and streets, and into our homes and natural water systems. Just because you can't see pollution, doesn't mean is not there. The micro particles and acidic gases are the most dangerous to the lungs.

Again, yet another liberal projects the word "hate" onto conservatives. Does your work experience happen to be in the field of environmental engineering or law? By all means, your credibility can only be bolstered by watching Congress work. Lord knows they only pursue truth, justice, and the American way. What company is your work experience with, hmmmm? Do you have the guts to make it public?

Why are we called "the Jews"? Did Hashem pick out this name for us? What does the word "Jew" mean?

It's from "yehudah", because most of the Jews nowadays are from the shevet of yehudah.
The name Jew actually comes from Judea, which is a place. The place of course is named after Yehuda. But importantly, in the age of Hellenization, the concept "ioudaios" (Jew) shifted from being an ethnic-geographic marker to a religious-cultural one. Thus, Judaism itself was Hellenized to become a religion where people or groups could join. (see Shaye Cohen, The Beginnings of Jewishness)
Jew come from the Name Yehuda in most languages it is something similar to Yehuda, it represents anyone who denies Avodah Zara.
We are called Jews from the time we returned from exile in Babylon. Since then, the Tribal system is over, and just one People exist: The People of Israel (the new Israel) the Jewish People. This People, although made up by the main stem of Judah, it constitutes of a few tousands from the other Tribes, and two thirds of the Levites, plus the properly converts from the Gentiles.

I'm considering creating some instrumental music. I don't care about connecting external stuff (keyboard, mic, ...), so I only require something I'll control with only a keyboard and a mouse. Is there any FLOSS suitable for a newbie like me?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 15:01
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
It sounds like you want a sequencer.
I haven't used it but LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio) looks reasonable (if still young): http://lmms.sourceforge.net/
THE open source DAW is ardour. It is built on jack, a low latency audio driver daemon, and it has all stuff that you expect in a DAW, multi-track recording/editing/mixing. No windows support though, which shouldn't be a pain for open source enthousiasts, as jack offers support for most well-known audio interfaces.
There are so many ways you can make some noise (er... music) with just a computer-keyboard and mouse. Concepts explained below are generic, but the softwares mentioned here run on linux.
Music Score Editors
You could use a music score editor to draw notes and compose music. Score Editors either use an internal synth or allow you to use a software synth plugin or soundfont.
Try: Muse Score, Denemo, Tux Guitar (write guitar tabs)
A sequencer lets you record (or write by hand) and arrange musical snippets in many ways. Most sequencers have a piano-roll-view for writing notes by hand, some might include a notation editor.
Rosegarden, Muse, Seq24, lmms (as Benji York suggested), Hydrogen (drum machine)
Try some Trackers too.
Synth Plugins
A Synthesiser takes the notes you feed and produces the sound accordingly. You can use these syths along with your Score editor/sequencer.
Qsynth, Fluidsynth, amsynth, Bristol
You could use some effects plugins to process the sounds produced by these synths. Try some LV2 plugins. Eventually you'll need some real DAW software to record and process this audio. Try Ardour
On a linux system you could connect these components together using Jack. Some linux distributions are tailor-made for media production, and come bundled with handful of Audio apps and synths. It's a good idea to begin with one of them. ex: Puredyne, Puppy Studio, Ubuntu Studio
Get Geeky
Pure Data, Csound
Sorry, too lazy to add links. tip: google. Good luck!
Linux... keyboard and mouse... newbie...?
I'll second ananth.p's suggestion to try a tracker -- one of the easier computer music tools. It's essentially a standalone sampling synth / drum machine program with an old-school interface (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_audio_trackers for screenshots and more info). Try MilkyTracker for starters.
If you find trackers too limited, try a sequencer. Think of it as a modular tracker -- you can connect it to all kinds of synths and effects via JACK (which is pretty complicated). QTractor is a relatively easy sequencer/DAW that nobody has mentioned. Seq24 is an old-school sequencer with a tracker feel. Check out LSD's video tutorials to see how it's used.
Pair it with some free plugins and you're off and creating.
Moving right along. You're looking for something like Audiotool. It's free and completely browser-based. It's got drum machines, synthesizers, FX, and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of free and open-source options when it comes to doing what you want to do - sequence MIDI data into a virtual synth. LMMS is an option, yes, but it's kinda terrible IMO.
Oh, and there's Darkwave Studio. It is free and open-source, but it appears to be Windows only.
It would be helpful for you to do a quick Google search for terms that you don't understand before posting here. It's easier for us to help you if you are willing to help yourself.

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Fake Patty's Day will occur in Manhattan on March 9, 2013.
Saint Patrick's Day usually falls during Kansas State University's spring break so "Fake Patty's Day" is held the weekend before students leave.
In past years, the event has been associated with many negative issues including overcrowding, public intoxication, traffic congestion, illegal parking, acts of violence, and trash nuisances. Residents and visitors are encouraged to enjoy themselves safely and responsibly. Public and private partners have made the following commitments to ensure a safe and vibrant atmosphere for the weekend:
Law Enforcement: All state and local laws will be enforced during Fake Patty's Day. Riley County Police Department (RCPD) will assign staff for overlapping shifts during peak times to maximize police presence. In addition, officers from the following agencies have agreed to assist: Kansas State University Police Department, Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office, Junction City Police Department, Emporia Police Department, Lyon County Sheriff's Office, Kansas Highway Patrol, Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, and Riley County Community Corrections.
Aggieville Business Association: ABA has applied for a special event permit from the City to authorize the closure of Moro St. (N. Manhattan to 11th St.) and 12th St. (mid-blocks of Laramie St. and Bluemont Ave.) beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday. The special event permit will allow for approved food and merchandise vendors to operate in the streets that are closed for traffic. ABA is responsible for providing additional portable restrooms and trash collection. ABA is providing a free shuttle service to and from area hotels.
City of Manhattan Fire Department will have staff in Aggieville from mid-morning on Saturday until bars close to monitor overcrowding.
Riley County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) will provide a first aid station at the round house in City Park.
Kansas State University administration and Student Government Association (SGA) will send targeted messages to students before the event to encourage appropriate behavior. K-State will also extend Safe Ride hours for the weekend. Safe Ride will run from noon on Saturday until 3:00 a.m. on Sunday with additional buses operating during peak times.
Fort Riley will conduct courtesy patrols during the weekend and will use marquees on post to publish safety related messages concerning responsible drinking. Fort Riley will extend Riley Rides to 4:00 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.
City of Manhattan Parks and Recreation Department will rope off available parking areas in City Park and display signs to warn of prohibited parking areas. Illegally parked vehicles may be immediately towed at the owner's expense.
City of Manhattan Code Services will have staff on-call to address any sanitary nuisances on Saturday. Code Services will patrol the neighborhoods around Aggieville on Sunday to primarily address any trash nuisances. When appropriate, 24-hour clean-up notices will be issued, and any properties not cleaned will be abated by the City on Monday, at the owner's expense. The minimum cost is $155.
Manhattan Good Neighbors has scheduled a student volunteer clean-up event in Aggieville and the surrounding neighborhoods on Sunday from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.handson.ksu.edu or contact email@example.com or (785) 532-3670.

I have a monotonic polynomial recurrence of the following form: c_n = 1-p + p*(c_n-1)^2
This comes from the probability that a specific branching process (Galton-Watson) will be extinct before the nth generation. It's generalization is:
c_n = 1-p_1-p_2-...-p_n + p_1(c_n-1) + p_2(c_n-1)^2 + ... + p_n(c_n-1)^n
Where p_1*1+p_2*2+...+p_n*n < 1, and c_1 << 1;
I know that polynomial recurrences have no general solution, but the monotonic case seems like it should be MUCH easier. A basic approximation for my specific c_n is easily done: d_n = 1-c_n =1- (1-p + p*(1-c_n-1)^2) d_n = 2p*d_n-1 - p*(d_n-1)^2 < 2p*(d_n-1) = (2p)^(n-1)*(d_1);
A cobweb plot also gives strong indication of the behavior.
My problem is, however, that although asymptotic behavior is easy to figure out, I need to be able to determine, with a fair degree of accuracy, d_i for arbitrary i.
Is there any information out there on monotonic recurrences of polynomial form?
Update: Any sort of approximation that's more general and useful than mine is also useful to me. Also, I'm only interested in real numbers. For instance, d_1 in the specific case I'm looking at is p, where p is < 0.5. Looking at cobweb plot with y = x and y = 2p*x - p*x^2 = px(2 - x), it is clear that the recurrence is monotonic and has no chaotic behavior. Is this not a strong enough of a condition to give it a (somewhat) clean form? If so, why not?

The extraordinary installation of the Torqued Ellipses by Richard Serra at Dia from September 25, 1997–June 14, 1998, is captured in this exhibition catalogue. Black and white photos document the ellipses as they are created at a steel mill in Baltimore and transported to and installed at Dia in New York. Photos of the models used for the finished pieces and reproductions of Serra's drawings give insight into the initial conception of the pieces. The interview with the artist by Lynne Cooke and Michael Govan concerns the concept and production of the Torqued Ellipses. Mark Taylor's essay documents Serra's development as a sculptor.

(Agr.), International Agriculture and Rural Development, Cornell University (USA) and the Zamorano Pan-American School of Agriculture (Honduras) B.A., Natural Science-Biology, Messiah College About Laura S. Meitzner Yoder Remote villages and urban centers of Southeast Asia and Latin America have been home to Laura Yoder since the early 1990s. She has sought to understand rural people's realities by working alongside smallholder farmers and forest dwellers, and to relate their priorities to national and international policymakers. She has guided hundreds of Indonesian and North American students and faculty through cross-cultural learning and research in field contexts. Most of her work has been in situations of conflict, disaster, chronic poverty, or political marginalization. From people in these contexts, she has seen hope, joy, and how much there is to learn in unexpected places. Laura enjoys relating to people across the entire span of academic disciplines, believing that the approaches and skills of each professional perspective help us to view situations more completely. Laura grew up in rural southeast Pennsylvania, never traveling far from home. She gained an early awareness of how the church engages with human realities to seek justice and to love mercy by having many refugees as childhood playmates, and seeing through her Christian schools how God's people respond to both chronic and emergency needs. Through study abroad in Europe and Latin America, she saw how cross-cultural relationships expand our view of the church, even as they change our understanding of God's world. Through college studies, Laura embarked on a professional path in agricultural development alongside environmental conservation. A Mennonite Central Committee assignment at a regional university in West Papua, Indonesia, extended Laura's view of development to matters of resource justice. She advised Indonesian university students in an area where she worked with the local church and other organizations to secure land and forest access for rainforest dwellers. In Papua, Laura also met and married Jeff, a water engineer with deeply shared commitments to improving community well-being. These years in Southeast Asia marked Laura's transition to political ecology and environmental anthropology. Through doctoral studies, she worked closely with traditional leaders and local government officials on the emerging policies on land and forest control in the newly independent nation of Timor-Leste (East Timor). Responding to the December 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, Laura and Jeff took their infant son to Aceh, Indonesia, where Laura taught in the state university and led a research methods training program for hundreds of Acehnese professionals. This initiative contributed to social healing after the dual tragedies of the tsunami and the decades of civil strife in the province. Since 2008, Laura has taught North American students about sustainability and field research in rural and international development, in Thailand, Bhutan, Indiana, and elsewhere. She is keenly interested in the socio-political, legal, and faith dimensions of environmental issues worldwide. Her interests include languages, writing, tropical fruits, cooking and eating international foods, histories of botanical exploration and colonial governance, walking in forest shade, swimming, and asking questions.
