In the context of this question should mass distribution $\rho(r,t)$ and momentum distribution $p(r,t)$ be well behaved ? By 'well behaved' it is meant that derivatives of all orders exist everywhere.
I don't see any reason why they should be well behaved. For the equations (given in the answer (by Mark Eichenlaub) to the above mentioned question) to be consistent the conditions required are
$\vec{p}$ should be continuously differentiable in order that $\nabla\cdot\vec{p}$ exists.
$\rho(r,t)$ should be partially differentiable wrt $t$ i.e., $\frac{\partial\rho(\vec{r},t)}{\partial t}$ exists.
Please give strong reasons as to why it is required that $\rho(r,t)$ and $\vec{p}(r,t)$ to be always well behaved ?

Students of Gay studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Gay textbooks – for example My Lives: An Autobiography by [Edmund White], and Wystan and Chester by [Thekla Clark] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Gay is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Gay books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Gay classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Japan continues to fight after an earthquake and tsunami hit their shores.
For some of Troy University's students this disaster hit close to home.
News 4's Denise Bradberry spoke with a couple of Troy's Japanese students today.
These students may be here in Alabama but their hearts are with family and friends back home in Japan.
One girl told me she feels helpless being so far away.
"I didn't find out until like 3 hour after the earthquake hit. I was traveling and my friend texted me and said Miki I pray for your people and your country and I was like "what is she talking about" and I turned the TV on and it was everywhere," says Japanese Troy Student Miki Kashiwa.
"The first time I heard about it I was actually in Europe. I was on my Spring Break trying to have fun but after I heard it I was so scared, I couldn't, I tried to reach my family right away," says Japanese Troy Student Eiji Moriya.
They say it's heartbreaking to see the images on television and in the papers.
"It's destroyed," says Kashiwa, "I couldn't believe it I mean who can believe that kind of video it's like it's a movie."
Although these students are in America, friends and family in Japan are on their minds.
"They keep saying they're fine because they don't want me to be worried but the only thing they're worried about is radiation stuff from the nuclear plants," says Moriya.
"I have relatives that live in Sendai and that's where the tsunami hit and it's just, I honestly thought they died. You know but thank God they're still alive and they have a house standing," says Kashiwa.
Now they're trying to raise funds on Troy's campus to donate to the Red Cross to use back home.
"I just want them to know and I just want them to care about my country because it's a really bad disaster it's the biggest disaster since I was born so I just want American students to know that," says Moriya.
"The bible says to love your neighbor as yourself. I'm not there but they're still my friends and they're my family and that's my country that's where my heart belongs," says Kashiwa.
A second group of troy students is joining the effort.
The art club is selling t-shirts with designs that say "Hope for Japan"
These students have created several different designs and are screen printing them by hand so they can send every cent of the money they make to the "red cross" and "save the children"
One student told me he got involved because he has friends in Japan and wanted to do anything he could to help.
These shirts are selling for $15.
They also made bracelets and sticker decals.
After the first day of sales, they've already raised over a thousand dollars.
For more information on how to buy a t-shirt you can find them on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=189783671059914&index=1 .
Or you can call Andrew Zerick at (334) 488-3705.

Hello everyone,
I have a question during my intership. Given a convergent sequence of continuous et convex functions {f_n(x)} defined in R^M. These functions are uniformly Lipschitz continuous which means that there exist a constant C such that
|f_n(x)-f_n(y)|<=C|x-y|, for all x,y in R^M and n>=1
Furthermore, each function f_n(x) has a minimizer.
So the simple convergence + uniformly Lipschitz continuous allow us to prove the convergence is uniform in any compact of R^M.
Now my questionn is that whether we can demonstrate
inf_{R^M}f_n(x) converges to inf_{R^M}f(x), n goes to infty?
here f(x) is the limit of f_n(x) and is supposed that inf_{R^M}f(x) fini.
Thanks a lot!

The Atalanta star is delighted with how much he has learned since moving to Serie A but does not hold much hope of an Argentina call-upAtalanta striker German Denis has played down his hat-trick against Inter on Sunday, saying he is only following coach Stefano Colantuono's instructions.
The 31-year-old scored three goals in 12 minutes to help his side to an unlikely 4-3 victory at San Siro, having trailed 3-1 with just over half an hour to play.
"I just do what the coach asks of me and what we prepare in training. I have learned a lot since I arrived in this country because it is necessary to learn hard work," he told Sky Sport.
"Italian football is among the most difficult in the world and it is difficult to maintain your form."
The Argentine also insisted he was under no illusions about his chances of earning more caps for the Argentina set-up in spite of his heroics.
"It is hard because I need to be scoring twice the number of goals to compete with all the great players Argentina have," he continued.
"But I am happy with the few times I could wear the Argentina shirt and play with so many great players."

Detox Diaries: My One-Day Detox
A McDonald's-eating detox-newbie goes on her first cleanse. Can she do it? Will she change her fast food-eating ways? Find out
Then, the chocolate cravings hit.
I usually get my sugar fix from fruit juices and don't have much of a sweet tooth for cakes and chocolate. But right now, all I can envision is shoving a warm chocolate chip cookie into my mouth. Sadly, there really is no room in this detox for that. Sigh.

REALLY loving this! I used to be a caffeine addict, but I switched to water in the school where I teach because it has no A/C and is hot year 'round (the heating is very intense and dry in the winter). I realized that I became "addicted" to water and can't really handle caffeine the way I used to; I like that.

Interesting article. I've been thinking about doing a detox, maybe now is the time!

I couldn't do it, I'd take death if I can't have my caffeine intake!

That is so terrifying, but your detox is probably the only one I've read so far that I feel capable of doing.

I have begun a serious diet - I will add a Detox into it soon. I still stop for a fast food but no later than 3pm. Actually my life have been a continual diet.

Interesting & well written. And definitely educational.

Thank you so much for this! You had to deal with a little torture! This sounds like a good detox, but I am one of the people who needs something with my medication (thank you for mentioning that by the way) but the pre-tox sounds interesting!

I am currently planning to buy a hardware-raid controller. This became necessary since I am running Linux and Windows in parallel and now need the redundancy for both OS (Im am going to use RAID1 / Mirroring).
Therefore I am searching for a hardware raid controller which is well supported by linux / ubuntu (reporting smart values, stats for the harddrives, etc...). This controller should have four sata ports and if possible it should fit in a PCIE-1x Slot.
I would greatly appreciate, if you could suggest some devices.
Thanks in advance

Is this just a historical artifact - that the particle physics community decided at some point to call all of the pre-oscillation physics by the name the "Standard Model"? The reason I ask is because I often see articles and books say something to the effect "the strongest hint of physics beyond the SM are the non-zero neutrino masses" as if this is something significant and mysterious - whereas from what I gathered from the answer to a question I asked previously , lepton mixing is something natural and unsurprising. So why aren't neutrino oscillations considered part of the SM? I am not asking out of any sociological interest but because I want to make sure I haven't underestimated the significance of the discovery of neutrino oscillations.
The historical formulation of the SM involved one Higgs doublet and only renormalizable couplings, the latter being due to the focus at the time on achieving a renormalizable formulation of the weak interactions. With these restrictions neutrinos are massless and do not oscillate. To get neutrino masses you need to extend this framework either by adding non-renormalizable dimension 5 operators, which one would naturally expect to be there in the framework of effective field theory, or you have to add renormalizable couplings involving new fields, typically including SM singlet Weyl fermions (i.e. right-handed neutrinos) and a SM singlet Higgs field. How much of an extension of the SM this really involves is subjective. There were many theoretical papers speculating on such extensions before the actual discovery of neutrino oscillations.
Because neutrinos were still widely considered massless at the time "The Standard Model" was formulated.
One could argue that we're on StandardModel v2.3ish at this point and that the up-to-date release includes massive, mixing neutrinos, but that just leads to a confusion of terminology.
I'll add reference to the "Ten Lectures on the ElectroWeak Interactions" by Barbieri. In my opinion -- the best reading on the electroweak physics.
Because there are different extensions you can use to give mass to the neutrinos. You can put mass only in left neutrinos, or you can add right neutrinos, and it is even unclear how many species to add. Of course, a GUT-like neutrino, as in SO(10) etc, seems preferable, but it is not the only option.

Sorry, but I do not know another place to post this question.
Condition of possibility is an important philosophical concept. Naively, this concept could be formally defined this way:
$q$ is a condition of possibility of $p$ iff $\neg q$ implies $\neg > p$
the latter being equivalent with $p$ implies $q$. When we write $\hookrightarrow$ for is a condition of possibility of and $\rightarrow$ for implies we get
$q \hookrightarrow p$ iff $p > \rightarrow q$.
So, condition of possibility is something like co-implication.
My question is: While in category theory many concepts and co-concepts are treated as strongly related (= inter-definable) but each in its own right, and while in logic many concepts are treated as strongly related (= inter-definable) but each in its own right:
Why wasn't the - philosophically important - concept of condition of possibility found worthy of being named and treated in its own right in (formal) logic?

Chairman and CEO (retired)
BBA 1971 (Finance)
CLARCOR Inc.
During a visit to the College, Norm Johnson, BBA 1971, shared a few of the "lessons he has learned along the way" to Tippie students just preparing to launch their careers. Johnson recently retired as chairman and CEO of CLARCOR Inc. (NYSE), a global leader in the filtration industry.
"Employers expect people coming out of business schools to have the analytic business skills. Obviously they are much more proficient in anything to do with a computer than I was, entering the job market," he said. "They know how to build financial models, analyze market share data, understand logistic systems, etc. Their technical capabilities are a given."
He broke down his advice to several points along the career path.
"When first hired," he said, "don't play the MBA big shot. People will be apprehensive about you. Go out of your way to learn what others are doing and get to know people at all levels of the organization. Recognize that while your individual contributions are important, so are the efforts of others. In today's world, a big advantage is to get international and multifunctional experience as early as one can in their career," he said.
"I always remind our people to remember the working mothers in our factories. They work hard all day in the factory and all night at home. You are fortunate to have the job you do."
He shared that he has seen many people get to the director or vice president level as a result of their individual performance (brains and hard work) but then their careers stopped or they failed.
"At that stage, people and earlier people skills are the differentiator. Raw skills and ambition become less important than the ability to influence and persuade. The goal is to help others succeed and have them want you to succeed."
He also shared a few other lessons: "Always have more than one source of information and someone to tell you the truth even when you don't want to hear it. There are a lot of people who will tell you what you want to hear. The people who make it to the top have curiosity, a sense of passion, ethics, and the ability to produce results."
During his 20 years with CLARCOR, Johnson helped develop the company's guiding philosophies, which extend to all of CLARCOR's manufacturing and distribution facilities in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America (headquartered in Franklin, Tenn).
"The guiding philosophy is customer service," he says, "knowing who the customer is, what the customer wants, and what the company must do to keep their business."
"We have a program called T3—Target Tackling Triumph—and each supervisor is expected to have a list of three things they can do better in their area," he says. "Groups of people, including the production workers, present their ideas. We have an open communications system, so we solicit ideas from everyone. If you look at our company's organization chart, you'll see who we put as the two most important positions—the customer and our production workers. We believe if you take care of your customers and people building the product, the company will do okay."
What's next for Johnson?
"At age 65 I had to retire," he says. "It will be someone else's turn to take the lead. I look forward to retirement. I may join a couple boards of directors, do Habitat for Humanity, improve my golf game, and attend Hawkeye games. Who knows?"

Preparation for 5-HIAA Testing
Last Modified: January 7, 2013
What are the "rules" to prepare for a 5-HIAA urine test? Foods you can't eat, etc. And do these also apply to the blood test?
Ginna Deitrick, CRNP, MSN, Nurse Practitioner for Interventional Radiology at Penn Medicine responds.
For 24 hour 5-HIAA we tell patients to avoid the following foods 5 days before completing the test: avocados, pineapples, bananas, kiwi fruit, plums, eggplants, walnuts, hickory nuts, pecans; and the following medications: Tylenol (Acetaminophen). There are a few other medications that may interfere with the results, but your MD/ NP will be able to advise further.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire transcript from the Focus on Neuroendocrine Tumors Webchat.

A friend of mine taught me the following question. He said he found it in a book a few years ago. Though I've tried to solve it, I'm facing difficulty.
Question: You know on a plane there is an invisible circle whose radius is less than or equals $1$. Fortunately, you have already found that the lengths of the chords of a circle by two lines $l_1, l_2$ are $d_1, d_2$ $(2\gt d_1\ge d_2\gt0)\ $respectively. By drawing another line, let's find this circle. If the line you'll draw crosses a circle at two points, then you'll get the length of the chord of a circle by the line. If the line you'll draw and a circle come in contact with each other, then you'll get the coordinates of the point of contact instead of getting $0$ as the length of the chord. If the line you'll draw neither crosses nor comes in contact with any circle, then you'll be able to draw another line just once more. Find the coordinates of the center of a circle.
This is all the question says. Could you give me how to find the coordinates?
The situation so far: The $l_1\parallel l_2$ case : This case has been already solved (see Blue's answer below).
The $l_1\not \parallel l_2$ case : This case has not been solved yet.
Supposing that $l_1:y=x\tanθ$, $l_2:y=-x\tanθ$ and $l_3:y=0$ ($l_4:x=0$ if needed) for $0<θ<\pi/2$, then we can get two possible coordinates as the center of a circle. However, it seems difficult to decide just one coodinates because each line is symmetric about the origin.
Hence, a new line, which is not $y=0$, is needed as $l_3$.
My approach: Let each of $l_{1,d+}, l_{1,d-}, l_{2,D+}, l_{2,D-}$ be the followings:$$l_{1,d+}:y=x\tanθ+\frac{d}{\cosθ}, l_{1,d-}:y=x\tanθ-\frac{d}{\cosθ}$$ $$l_{2,D+}:y=-x\tanθ+\frac{D}{\cosθ}, l_{2,D-}:y=-x\tanθ-\frac{D}{\cosθ},$$ where $D=\sqrt{d^2+\frac{{d_1}^2-{d_2}^2}{4}}.$
Note that each distance between $l_1$ and $l_{1,d\pm}$ is $d$, and that each distance between $l_2$ and $l_{2,D\pm}$ is $D$. Also, note the following: $$\sqrt{\left(\frac{d_1}{2}\right)^2+d^2}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{d_2}{2}\right)^2+D^2}.$$ This means that the radius of a circle which crosses $l_1$ equals the radius of a circle which crosses $l_2$. Note that $d$ must satisfy the following:$$0\le d\le \sqrt{1-\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}}.$$
Then, Letting each of the intersections of $l_{1,d-}$ and $l_{2,D+}$, $l_{1,d+}$ and $l_{2,D+}$, $l_{1,d+}$ and $l_{2,D-}$, $l_{1,d-}$ and $l_{2,D-}$ be $P_{-+}$, $P_{++}$, $P_{+-}$, $P_{--}$ respectively, we can represent these as the follwoings: $$P_{-+}\ \left(\frac{d+D}{2\sinθ}, \frac{-d+D}{2\cosθ}\right), P_{++}\ \left(\frac{-d+D}{2\sinθ}\frac{d+D}{2\cosθ}\right),$$$$P_{+-}\ \left(\frac{-d-D}{2\sinθ}, \frac{d-D}{2\cosθ}\right), P_{--}\ \left(\frac{d-D}{2\sinθ}, \frac{-d-D}{2\cosθ}\right).$$
Since each radius is $\sqrt{d^2+\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}}$, we can represent the circles by $d$ as the followings: $$C_{-+}:\left(x-\frac{d+D}{2\sinθ}\right)^2+\left(y-\frac{-d+D}{2\cosθ}\right)^2=d^2+\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}$$ $$C_{++}:\left(x-\frac{-d+D}{2\sinθ}\right)^2+\left(y-\frac{d+D}{2\cosθ}\right)^2=d^2+\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}$$ $$C_{+-}:\left(x-\frac{-d-D}{2\sinθ}\right)^2+\left(y-\frac{d-D}{2\cosθ}\right)^2=d^2+\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}$$ $$C_{--}:\left(x-\frac{d-D}{2\sinθ}\right)^2+\left(y-\frac{-d-D}{2\cosθ}\right)^2=d^2+\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}.$$
Changing $d$ to $-d$ in $C_{++}$ gives $C_{-+}$ and changing $d$ to $-d$ in $C_{+-}$ gives $C_{--}$. Hence, we can represent each possible invisible circle by $d$ as the following: $$C_{\pm+}:\left(x-\frac{-d+D}{2\sinθ}\right)^2+\left(y-\frac{d+D}{2\cosθ}\right)^2=d^2+\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}$$ $$C_{\pm-}:\left(x-\frac{-d-D}{2\sinθ}\right)^2+\left(y-\frac{d-D}{2\cosθ}\right)^2=d^2+\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}$$ for $d$ which satisfies the following: $$-\sqrt{1-\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}}\le d\le \sqrt{1-\frac{{d_1}^2}{4}}.$$
In addition to this, letting $(x,y)$ be the center of each circle, we get the following: $$xy=\frac{{d_1}^2-{d_2}^2}{16\cosθ\sinθ}.$$
This shows that the center of each possible invisible circle is on this hyperbola if $d_1-d_2>0$.
I've tried to get a special line as $l_3$, but I'm facing difficulty.

Hopes Run High For FTSE in 2013
The FTSE 100 kicked off the New Year in style, breaking through 6000 points on the first trading day of 2013 and finishing the week at its highest level since Feb. 8, 2011.
And analysts expect the index's early year gains to continue.
The analysts cite actions by central banks, improving economic conditions in the U.S. and China, and rising company profits for their bullish forecasts for the year.
"In our view we need to get used to a FTSE above 6000 again and target 6575 for the end of 2013," analysts at Deutsche Bank DB 1.43 % wrote in a note to clients last week, saying that the index's 6.3% gain in 2012 wasn't as strong as other European and global stock markets last year.
Credit Suisse also expects a big rise, forecasting a year-end close of 6600 for the FTSE.
The index finished last week at 6089.84, a 3.3% gain over the first three trading days of 2013. It is still down 12% from its record closing high of 6930.20, set on Dec. 30, 1999.
"While the acceleration of growth will be modest," the expansion of central-bank balance sheets in developed markets "is likely to accelerate, especially in Japan and the euro area," Credit Suisse analyst Richard Kersley said.
"As a consequence, we believe that while headline inflation will be muted, inflation expectations will rise, which should benefit equities relative to bonds."
However, while on the whole analysts expect the FTSE to rise in 2013, they also expect another volatile year.
Gains in the first week of 2013 came after U.S. lawmakers struck a last-minute deal to prevent the implementation of spending cuts and tax increases that posed a threat to the U.S. economy.
But the issue, which had weighed on the FTSE and other markets toward the end of 2012, isn't entirely resolved.
The U.S. government still has to wrestle with the country's deficit and its looming debt ceiling.
The health of the euro-zone economy could also still worry investors, although fears that Greece could leave the bloc have diminished over the past year.
The country was recently given its second tranche of its international aid following a successful debt buyback.
Against this backdrop, Charles Stanley technical analyst Bill McNamara expects the FTSE to end 2013 at around 6375.
He is less optimistic about the outlook for the first quarter, when he expects investors to react to overbought conditions by taking some profits.
Mr. McNamara also believes a deal on the U.S. debt ceiling is unlikely to materialize quickly, resulting in more uncertainty and little prospect for a market rally in the near term.
"Nevertheless, the outlook for the year as a whole is positive and it is our expectation that improving conditions in the U.S. and China will ensure the FTSE makes decent headway," he said.
Guy Foster, a strategist at Brewin Dolphin, is a bit more modest in his outlook, given the uncertainty over what might happen in Washington.
He cited a year-end forecast of 6350 for the FTSE.
"We still expect markets to reflect earnings growth of around 9% with no re-rating, while these political uncertainties weigh," he said.

Certain chords cause my thumb to be sore. How can I play in a way to prevent this?
Basically, neither fingers nor your wrist should hurt. Tension is your enemy, you have to become aware of tension before it becomes pain. In the words of Joe Satriani : No pain, no pain.
If it's the thumb, chances are you're grabbing the neck as if you were falling and needed to hold onto it, that's not the way it should be : the thumb is an anchor for the rest of the hand.
When you feel tension, stop, relax your fingers, neck and shoulders. Then get back in playing position but do not hold the strings down, use your fretting hand as if it was caressing the strings. Hold onto that feeling, and carry on practicing.
You can also try practicing slower, which anyway always helps focusing on different aspects of your playing.
Your thumb hurts because you are pushing your thumb backwards on itself in order to support your hand position on the neck. The only way forward is to practice bar chords as much as you can, and your thumb and hand will eventually become stronger. Hope this helps.
Here's just some additional thoughts:
My hand usually hurts the most when gripping the neck like this:
This is a grip used by classical guitarists, as they rarely do full-on barre chords. Note the thumb resting on the back of the neck: when you grip the neck firmly, as you do for barre chords, you put a lot of pressure on your thumb. It's easy to accidentally choose this grip for barre chords because it initially makes chording faster; however, stay away from this grip for barre chords!
I prefer to grip the neck like this:
Note how the thumb isn't "pressing" on the back of the neck anymore; it's "pinching" or "hugging" it. The force from pressing on the strings affects your thumb-hand joint less. This grip isn't initially as ergonomic as the above grip, but it will help prevent pain, which has been said above is very bad!
I experience this when I haven't played for a while, almost like I strain my thumb. I haven't found another way to circumvent this but to keep playing (after you've rested your thumb of course ;). It's like any physical exercise.
But then I might be wrong, which would be great :)
I've answered a similar question before, so same answer. With barre chords there is a misconception that you need to squeeze hard with your thumb. It is easily possible to play barre chords without the thumb even on the neck.If you pull the guitar body onto your own body, then use the fretting arm to pull the barring finger (usually index) onto the fretboard.I'm not advocating not using your thumb to tension barre chords, but you never need to squeeze as hard as you think.It's a sort of extension to B.B.King's butterfly vibrato - yes, only fretting one string, but pulling that finger onto it with arm, not thumb.
Please see my answer to an earlier question here:
You may be using much more tension and pressure than is necessary to fret the barre chord in the first place, and this may be what is causing the pain. You can train yourself not to squeeze your hand and fingers too hard.
Wouldn't it also help to pay to have your guitar "setup" by a local guitar shop? This way the action or spacing between the strings and the fret board is reduced. The closer the strings are to the fret board the less work your fingers (especially the thumb tension) have to do. Also, getting "looser" strings would help.. if you have old lady hands go with Nylon strings. :)

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Hand Sanitizers: Do They Help Stop All Germs?
Feb. 8, 2013 -- With winter cold and flu season in full swing -- and a new strain of norovirus circulating -- everyone's trying to dodge the bugs. Norovirus causes intestinal illness, and it's often the root of outbreaks at schools and in nursing homes.
The question is: How best to avoid infection? Thorough hand washing is typically recommended. But use of hand sanitizers is promoted, too.
However, a recent study found that staff in long-term care facilities who relied too much on hand sanitizers over hand washing actually reported more outbreaks of norovirus-related illness.
WebMD turned to the experts for perspective on what to do now.
What is the active ingredient in hand sanitizers?
Hand sanitizers have a form of alcohol, such as ethyl alcohol, as an active ingredient. It works as an antiseptic.
Other ingredients may include water, fragrance, and glycerin.
Which bugs can hand sanitizers prevent?
''Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are clearly a very useful and important method to prevent most bacterial and viral infections, with rare exceptions," says Aaron E. Glatt, MD, executive vice president of Mercy Medical Center, Rockville Centre, Long Island, N.Y. He is a spokesman for the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
Hand sanitizers won't work, Glatt says, against the infection caused by C. difficile, a bacterium that can lead to life-threatening inflammation in the colon.
What about the study finding more norovirus outbreaks with use of hand sanitizers?
"This study does not change my routine recommendation that people should use a hand sanitizer," Glatt says. He sees them as especially useful when water is not available.
In the study, published in the American Journal of Infection Control, CDC researchers looked at the use of hand sanitizers by the staff in 91 long-term care facilities. In those where the staff were equally or more likely to use the hand sanitizers over soap and water for routine hand hygiene, the chance of an outbreak was nearly six times greater.
"It's one study," says Glatt.
More research is needed, he and other experts say.

The Pratt High School crosscountry team found the competition to be a little tougher at Wellington Saturday than what they had faced the previous week at Hoisington where they swept both divisions.
Nonetheless, the Frog harriers fared well in the 15-school event, the girls taking fourth as a team and the boys taking 6th.
For the girls, freshman Halle Helfrich continued a stellar freshman campaign, taking 2nd (16:10) in the large varsity race that featured over 75 runners. Adele Loomis was also in the medals, finishing 8th (17:23.) "Halle continues to improve and race with a maturity that is beyond her years," PHS head coach Kathy Hitz commented. "Adele is figuring out how to race over distance and it is fun to watch her put it together."
PHS' 3rd runner, Nichole Moreland was unable to finish, which meant the other runners had to pick up the slack, and that's just what they did. "Cassidy Cronister had a terrific run on a course that in the past has wreaked havoc with her asthma," Coach Hitz reported. "I was delighted to see her conquer this course as a senior." Cronister was 25th (18:48).
Morgan Strong took 34th (19:55) and Chloe Cannata was right behind her in 35th (19:58) to round out the Lady Frog scoring. "It was great to have Chloe put together a good race this week after a tough outing at Hoisington," Hitz said. "I could see on her face that this week was going better."
Joseph Loomis was again the top finisher for the Pratt boys, medaling in 8th place (18:14). "Joseph competed well," Hitz commented. "He ran almost the same time this week as last on a more difficult course. He is training very well and I think we will see that pay off big-time in October."
Zach Will was 25th (19:51); Josh Powell 31st (21:02) and Caleb Hitz 32nd (21:03). "Zach Will is competing very well, he has finally been able to put together a summer of great training after having had a foot injury and surgery," Hitz remarked. "Caleb and Josh are holding steady and I feel both are on the threshold of a breakthrough."
Rounding out the Greenback finishers were Will Fellhoelter (21:55 38th) and Cooper Crump (22:40 43rd.)
In other action, Brody Cronister ran 12:39, Jacob Berry 14:14 and Jacob Schaefer 15:48 in the 2-mile freshman race. Kara Nixon ran 15:57, Tori Hassler ran 15:59 and Paloma Diaz ran 16:24 in the 2-mile girls JV race. "This meet gives our freshman boys and novice runners a chance to race a 2 mile and I think it is a good confidence booster early in the season," Hitz explained. "Our young girls also got a chance to race a 2 mile also which provides the same benefit."
Page 2 of 2 - "I felt as a whole the kids competed well at a much bigger meet than last week, Hitz summarized. "It is good for the kids to experience a larger start and just a bigger field of runners."
The Greenback harriers return to action at the Roadrunner Classic hosted by Chaparral on Thursday.

How to open sencha application in Sencha Architect?
is it possible to open a existing sencha application in sencha Architect?
26 Jan 2013 6:44 AM #2
I believe the answer you will receive from Sencha is no, not at this time. Your best bet is to create a brand new architect project, recreate your main views (architect excels at this so it wont take very long) then copy custom code that usually lives inside your original apps events.
Obviously, how long this takes and how smooth the process turns out to be is largely dependent on the size and complexity of your original project.
Hope that helps

Interesting....this should be 'fun'.....
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...g.html?hpid=z2A new Marquette Law School poll thats generating lots of chatter today finds that Scott Walker and his most likely recall opponent, Tom Barrett, are in a dead heat, with Barrett edging Walker by 47-46 among registered Wisconsin voters.
In January, Walkers job approval was 51 percent; in March, it was 50 percent; and this month, it's 47 percent.
Whats particularly interesting here is that just yesterday, Walker announced hed raised a staggering $13 million in three months for the recall fight.
This means the race is all going to come down to turnout the one area where Dems and unions can match Walker in resources and organization, perhaps neutralizing Walkers ad spending advantage, Franklin says.

So I currently have my background as a single PNG and some obstacles (like blocks as part of that PNG). In order to create a path, I currently store pixels above a unique green color (my hill) and use this to move the character. My question is, is it better to create something like a collision layer mask or somehow convert my PNG to a bunch of tiles? Is this possible?
Two programs you should at least take a look at are Mappy and Tiled. A library for XNA integration with Tiled called TiledLib has been developed and could be of some use, if only to take a look at for ideas.
Yes, it is strongly suggested that you move to a data driven map, with layers and tiles. It will make your life easier, your maps will be editable in other tools(like map editors). You could even think of randomly generating maps and much much more!
Happy coding!
In Stendhal we use several layers of a map: ground, floor, objects, roof, roof_2. This way it is easy to create new maps based on images already created. We use two additional layers that only contain a green or red square called collision and protections.
You may get some ideas from our map tutorial. The map editor "Tiled" is from http://www.mapeditor.org/

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- With moist eyes and soft voices, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife pleaded guilty to federal charges on Wednesday related to years of using campaign funds for personal expenses that included purchases of Michael Jackson memorabilia and a Rolex watch.
"Guilty, your honor," Jackson responded to U.S. District Judge Robert Wilkins while dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief after he looked back at family members in the courtroom, including his father, civil rights activist Jesse Jackson.
"I used monies that should have been used for campaign purposes," Jackson, 47, acknowledged to the judge. When Wilkins asked if Jackson realized that the guilty plea meant giving up the right to a trial, he responded: "I have no interest in wasting the taxpayers' time or money."
Wilkins set sentencing for June 28, when Jackson could face up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
At a separate hearing later on Wednesday, former Chicago Alderman Sandra Stevens Jackson, 49, also pleaded guilty in a quavering voice to one count of filing false tax returns in connection with the misuse of her husband's campaign funds. The charge involved a failure to declare more than $600,000 in income from 2005 to 2011. The total came from campaign funds.
She wept openly after returning to the defense table. Wilkins set her sentencing for July 1, when she could receive up to three years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine.
Wednesday's hearings completed the fall of the once politically powerful Chicago couple. Jesse Jackson Jr., a Democrat, won re-election to Congress last year despite personal problems, including a mood disorder, that caused him to drop out of sight for months during the campaign.
That coincided with the investigation of campaign fund irregularities dating back several years. Jackson resigned a few weeks after the election, while his wife resigned her position as alderman in January. Prosecutors said the former congressman betrayed the public trust.
"The guilty plea today is so tragic because it represents such wasted potential. Jesse Jackson Jr. had drive the ability and the talent to be the voice of a new generation, but he squandered that talent. He exchanged that instead to satisfy his personal whims and extravagant lifestyle," U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. said at a news conference.
As he left the courthouse following his wife's hearing, Jackson said to reporters: "I'm sorry I let everybody down."
At his morning hearing, the former legislator responded to standard legal questions about his soundness of mind by acknowledging his treatment by a psychiatrist.
The treatment was not for alcohol or drug abuse, Jackson said, adding that he had a beer on Tuesday night but "I have never been more clear in my life than I am now."
"I fully understand the consequences of my actions," he said.
His wife's lawyer later told reporters that her decision to plead guilty was influenced in part by her husband's "mental and health issues."
The plea showed that Sandra Jackson admits "she'd made some mistakes in judgment regarding expenditures in campaign contributions," said the lawyer, Dan Webb.
"She saw this as a chance to accept full responsibility for the conduct she engaged in," he added.
Jesse Jackson Jr. pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, mail fraud and false statements.
Wilkins noted that prosecutors and defense attorneys said sentencing guidelines indicated an appropriate term of 46 to 57 months in prison and a fine of between $10,000 and $100,000.
However, Wilkins said he was not bound by sentencing guidelines, telling Jackson: "The bottom line is, I don't know what sentence you're going to get and you don't know what sentence you're going to get."
Jackson's lawyer, Reid Weingarten, told reporters after the hearing that he would mount a strong legal case for a fair sentence, noting his client is the father of two young children and has the health problems mentioned in court.
"It turns out that Jesse has serious health issues," Weingarten said. "... We are going to talk about them extensively with the court and those health issues are directly related to his present predicament. That is not an excuse. That is just a fact. And Jesse has turned a corner there as well."
Last week, prosecutors filed charges against the couple in separate criminal documents used when parties strike plea agreements.
The documents say the former congressman misused about $750,000 in campaign funds from August 2005 through approximately July 2012.
According to court documents, Jackson's campaign credit cards were used for $582,772 in personal expenditures. Jackson's purchases included a gold-plated men's Rolex watch costing more than $43,000 and almost $10,000 in children's furniture.
As part of the plea agreement, Jackson will have to forfeit the $750,000 in improperly used funds and assorted memorabilia that prosecutors said he bought with campaign cash.
The items include two hats belonging to the late singer Michael Jackson costing more than $8,000; a $5,000 football signed by U.S. presidents; and memorabilia involving the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and martial artist Bruce Lee.
Another expenses incurred using the campaign credit card were a five-day stay at Martha's Vineyard Holistic Retreat in 2008 for $5,687.75, and a $4,272.78 charge in 2006 for on-board cruise expenses to Navigator of the Sea, according to court documents.
Jackson issued a statement through his attorneys on Friday that said, in part: "I offer no excuses for my conduct and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made."
Jackson's wife is not mentioned by name in the document outlining misuse of campaign funds.

UPDATE: Police have arrested 18-year-old Kanissa'a Thompson of Columbia for assaulting 24-year-old Dakota Meyer. Thompson is charged with 2nd degree assault.
Kentucky State Police are investigating an alleged assault on Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer.
Meyer was involved in the altercation over the weekend at a venue near Columbia.
Meyer was injured badly enough that he was treated at a local hospital and released.
Police have released little information in the case. They say they are investigating the alleged assault to see whether charges will be filed.
Meyer was awarded the Medal of Honor last year for his actions in Afghanistan. He is credited with saving 13 American and 23 Afghan soldiers' lives in a grueling 2009 firefight.

KILLEEN (October 21, 2012)-- A Central Texas woman is fighting to make sure the story of the child who saved her life lives on.
Killeen native, Nefeterius McPherson, was just starting a brilliant career when she was diagnosed with secondary sclerosis cholangitis. It's a liver disease that stops the flow of bile to the stomach.
"I never had any health problems growing up," McPherson said.
"But in 2005, I was told I had this disease. I was really shocked, doctors told me there was a possibility I could develop bile cancer someday."
McPherson was born with the disease, though it never came into fruition until she began working as press secretary for the U.S. Trade Representative in Washington D.C.
As she tackled her dreams on capitol hill, the deadly disease grew inside McPherson.
"I just wanted to know what was wrong, I was completely blindsided," McPherson said.
In 2011, complications from the disease required McPherson to undergo a liver transplant. She was put on a waiting list for the organ.
After months went by, McPherson finally was given a new liver. However, she was surprised to discover it was from a 12-year-old girl who had died of brain hemorrhaging.
"I was excited to get my new liver, but when I heard it was from this sweet little girl it broke my heart," McPherson said.
"How could I be excited when I knew across town this family is mourning their child?"
McPherson was given a new life, but not without death. She wanted to get to know the little girl was who saved her life.
After much research, McPherson found out her new liver was from West Virginia native Taitlyn Hughes.
Taitlyn was an avid football and West Virginia Mountaineers fan. McPherson contacted her family and scheduled a visit.
During the visit, Taitlyn's mother gave McPherson a West Virginia Mountaineers football shirt. The shirt, had previously belonged to Taitlyn.
McPherson wore Taitlyn's shirt to West Virginia's game against UT in Austin,TX. While at the game, she took a photograph and posted it to Facebook. The caption read,"She wore it first, and I wore it last."
The photo went viral and Taitlyn's story has been shared across America.
West Virginia University has even invited Taitlyn's family and McPherson to their game against TCU in November.
There the university will honor the little girl who chose to be an organ donor, and saved a life before she died.
"It's all about keeping Taitlyn's memory alive and helping people understand that organ donation saves lives...like mine," McPherson said.

Let A and B be any two 3 by 3 matrices with eigen values 1,2,3 and -1,-4,-2 respectively.Then my Question is to find out the determinant of A+B? Thanks in advance for valuable comments.
It's not possible. If you take two diagonal matrices with those entries but in different orders, the sums will have different eigenvalues. So the eigenvalues of the sum are not determined by the eigenvalues of the individual matrices. Writing $(a,b,c)$ for the diagonal matrix with entries $a,b,c$ in that order,
$$(1,2,3) + (-1,-4,-2) = (0,-2,1)$$
$$(2,1,3) + (-1,-4,-2) = (1,-3,1).$$
In general, its a hopless situation. You can't make any comment on the determinant sum of the matrices. If you can simultaneously triangularize both the matrices, then you can make a statement about the determinant of their sum. Let $T_1$ denote the triangular matrix with its diagonal entries as eigenvalues of $A$ and $T_2$ be the same for $B$. Then, let $U$ be the set of orthonormal vectors that simultaneously triangularize them both. So $A=UT_1U^H$ and $B=UT_2U^H$, then $A+B=U(T_1+T_2)U^H$. So here, you can talk about the determinant. The order of arrangement of eigenvalues does matter in the sense, this will dictate the arrangement of columns in the matrix $U$. So there should be an arrangement of eigenvalues of $A$ and $B$, such that $U$ simultaneously triangularizes them.
In fact, simultaneously diagonalization for $A$ and $B$ also gives the same results.

The Plishtim or Philistines captured the Ahron Kodesh from the Jews (Shmuel I Chapter 5), then they returned it with a gift of golden rats and hemorrhoids as that was what they were punished with for stealing the Ahron Kodesh (Holy Ark) (Shmuel I 6:4-5). Now I would say that's in bad taste, but they were pagans and would worship in strange ways, like defecating to their gods, so this is just par for the course. Here is what throws me off: We save it and store it by the Ahron Kodesh with the Luchos! What is the deeper significance of these two type of gifts that they were bestowed such a great honor? Let me clarify: why did the Jews feel it important to memorialize this gift?

"The box in which the Philistines sent a gift to the G-d of Israel was placed next to it" (Bava Basra 14a).
To expand on Shalom's answer:
The basic reason that the Philistines made these particular images is that these were the plagues they had been struck with (I Sam. 5:6 and Rashi there). Malbim (to 6:4-5) explains that the Philistine "priests and magicians" (6:2) had two points in mind:
As for the fact that this box was given such a place of honor next to the Aron (and even hidden away with it, Yoma 52b), the Aruch Laner (Minchas Ani to Parshas Korach) suggests that this is meant to implicitly refute the argument that the non-Jews won't respect us if we study Torah rather than their sciences. Here we see, to the contrary, that the Philistines respected the Torah so much as to send along a gift when they returned it! And that serves as a lesson for all time.
Another point, too, is that this was the first time in history that an entire non-Jewish people recognized G-d's power and tried to appease Him. This deserves to be highlighted, as indeed the verse does, listing each of the five major Philistine cities and its "golden hemorrhoid" separately and in a festive tone (6:17, see Daas Soferim). It therefore also deserves to be placed in the Kodesh Hakodashim, as the first step in the long process towards the time when all of the peoples of the world will achieve this realization, with the coming of Moshiach.
The Philistines had been afflicted by hemhorroids, which were then irritated by rats, as a punishment for stealing the Ark.
By their thinking, they could appease the Ark (or whatever force behind it) and stop this nuisance by returning the Ark, along with some golden rats and golden hemhorroids, for good measure. Nothing to do with how they worshipped; it had to do with what they wanted! (Or "wanted to stop"!)
I suspect part of why the Jews left the gift in-place was to remember this episode. A.) The Ark is great enough that it was recognized by other nations. B.) Don't take it for granted, it could be taken away. (A message Jeremiah kept trying to impart to his people regarding the Temple a few centuries later, while they continued to rest on their laurels.)
There is a whole dvar torah on this but to summarize:

My Favorite 5 Alien Invasion Movies in no particular order
War of the Worlds (1953)
The Thing (1982)
They Live: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper punching, suplexing, & shooting evil aliens & greedy rich humans for 90+minutes. It combines a great kickass action movie with some satire about the Reagan 80's. What more could you ask for?
Critters: Gremlins on steroids that has a lot of fun ripping off or "paying homage" to other sci-fi movies. I'm glad Patrick gave it a shout out in the best runner-ups. Hated the sequels.
War of the Worlds (2005)
Worst 5 in no particular order
Dreamcatcher: I never read the Stephen King novel, but which studio exec in their right mind would greenlight a plot about aliens coming out of uh, uh, a certain body part. It also has one of the stupidest tension scenes of all movie history when that dude on the toilet seat is trying to reach for a toothpick. Even Morgan Freeman was horrible.
The Invasion (2007): All the flash forwards, the unnecessary CGI, & action climax due to the reshoots did nothing to help this. (Nicole Kidman's bland performance didn't help either.)
Highlander 2 The Quickening: In the original red shield version, the immortals were from the Planet Zeist. Nuff said.
Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen
Men In Black 2
The Independence Day Podcast
JB's theory about ID4 "foreshadowing" our next two presidents is truly thinking outside the box. That alone made the podcast for me.
I still have a low opinion of Independence Day but I will agree that you can't say its cynical garbage. It does have a heart. I prefer the miniatures & models of famous landmarks getting destroyed than perfect, soulless CGI rendered models any day. The acting ranges from passable to solid & there isn't anyone in there as obnoxious as the performances & characters in Transformers. I still love the bombastic, patriotic, & cheesy soundtrack as a guilty pleasure.
On the negative side, the dogfights have aged badly & like Ebert said those city wide spaceships look like burnt out waffles in some shots. If we're going to criticize Michael Bay for his racial, misogynist & homophobic humor & stereotypes then we have to do the same with Emmerich when he had Harvey Fierstein's Marty say "There's no shame in hiding". Ugh! My main overall problem is ID4 just doesn't make any sense whatsoever or could never exist in any logical universe. The computer Mac virus is the least of its problems. I just demand that my big dumb blockbusters make sense at least 50% of its time. ID4 falls in the middle of the invasion genre for me.

I'm using ArcMap 10.1 and need a specific extension that's activated on another user's machine. Is there a script or other tool available to re-claim this license?
Here are the typical reasons a license is not available:
User with Extension needs to deactivate the extension and close ArcGIS. License Server (Desktop Administrator) should show the license has returned
Then Enable the Extension in ArcGIS on the user who needs the extension.
If all the concurrent use licenses for the extension are currently in use by other users, you won't be able to use the extension until a license becomes available.

You used to be able to do this with the
A minorly disruptive alternative is to start and stop the license service. Stop the service, wait a few seconds, then start it and immediately check out the license you need. Current users will get a license server warning, but will not actually be booted (except for the user whose license you took).

This is probably an easy answer, but I have never been able to find it by googling. I simply would like to add an Environment variable to a Windows machine (desktop or server) and be able to use it without rebooting that machine.
Say you have a production server which hosts a variety of apps and a new app needs a particular Environment variable to run. You do not want to reboot it while users are connected to your other apps. What choices do you have? I don't like the wait-until-a-good-time-to-reboot option. There must be a better way. What am I missing?

12 Artisan Craft Beers for $1.60 Each for $19 + free shipping
coupon code: BEERWOOT19
You guys, it's beer. How much more do we really have to tell you?
18 Comments add a comment
giving this a try. the $19 for a 12 pack of craft/artisan stuff sounds like a decent deal. hopefully it's not just junk :)
I was so excited when I read BeerWoot, but it was only the coupon code.
Woot needs more alcohol related sites.
I got this offer 2 "offers" ago, and since then it won't let me re-purchase it. I guess that makes sense (for them), but the page just refreshes -- no messaging of any kind. Sort of wish they said "one-time only" or something so we knew what was going on.
That being said, my order shipped 2 days ago, so a review is forthcoming...
Interesting offer but it sure seems to be over-posted.
@acraigl: Try deleting your cookies? Or using another email if you need to login?
Giving both packs a whirl for one month. I've heard that the "regular" craft beer pack is mediocre, but haven't heard anything about their "artisan" pack. Fingers crossed everything doesn't suck!
Being a beer snob is a sad existence sometimes...
Just as a heads up, I ordered this back in June, and was assured it would ship the first week of July. When I called yesterday wondering where it was, they told me it would probably ship next Wednesday (7/24). So, if you don't mind not receiving your order for 6+ weeks, this probably won't bother you...me? I won't be ordering from them again. I'm a sample subsciption addict and have never had to wait 6 weeks for my first shipment...especially when they originally quoted a very different ship date.
Oh, they also do not reply to the "Contact Us" email part of their website -- you must call them.
I belong to two other beer clubs (a foreign and a micro) and have tried to join this one several times. First club I've seen that doesn't deliver to TN. The shipping permit can't cost that much, and considering the state's horrible beer selection (due to antiquated alcohol laws), beer clubs could do good business here.
Stupid Pennsylvania blue laws.
Regarding ship times, the average wait for your first package is 3 weeks. After that, it comes every month at the same time. There is a cutoff each month, so those who order early sometimes wait a little extra. For those who ordered late in June, your packages are on their way. I'm 100% positive on that.
@missmonical: I'm surprise you had this experience. I would contact their support and ask for Frank. He will make you happy. I'm sure there was a miscommunication. Send it to firstname.lastname@example.com - he's been known to take really good care of his customers.
You have to make sure the caps lock is on or the code won't work.
Just use this link, the coupon automagically applies itself.
I'm still waiting for my 12 beers from about a month ago. They said they would ship at the beginning of July. I suspect they won't send them since I already canceled my subscription even though they charged my card for the one month for $11.99...
@monthlys: Changed the default link to this.
@benyust2: your beers are on the way, I promise.
I first ordered this on June 21, and was billed the $11.95 discounted rate.
No beer yet, 1 month later.
today they billed me $36.95 and told me they are about to ship my beer. Right now I'm down $49 and still buying Blue Moon at the corner store.
I'm not impressed.
Has anyone gotten theirs yet?
Got mine last week. I'm happy. There were a few 'meh' varieties but overall I'd say (particularly as a PA resident) this was a good deal for the money. I got a few of these, but here's the selections, in no particular order:
Woodstock Brewery (NH)
- Brown Ale
- Loon Golden Ale
Boulder Beer Company (CO)
- Flashback Brown India Ale
- Sweaty Betty Blonde Wheat
Old Dominion Brewery (DE)
- Oak Barrel Stout
- Big Thaw Bock
Geary's Brewery (NH)
- Hampsire Special Ale
- Summer Ale
Pennylvania Brewery (PA)
- Overlook IPA
- Kaiser Pils
Foothills Brewery (NC)
- Cottonwood Endo IPA
- Carolina Blonde Cream Ale
Abita Brewery (LA)
- Restoration Pale Ale
- Purple Haze Raspberry Wheat

What are the commands to use in LVM in case I want to:
- create a read-only snapshot of a volume;
- (do some experiments in the volume);
- and then rollback the volume to the snapshot?
I think you are looking for
Assume you have a logical volume vg0/system which contains your / filesystem.
The reboots are only needed because in this scenario you can't unmount the filesystem. If it's not the / fs, unmount is enough.
Keep in mind that the snapshot will deleted after the merge.

An Artful Evening
The Party
It was an elegant evening for the arts as the S&R Foundation unveiled its new headquarters, Halcyon House, and feted the foundation's 2013 award winners.
The People
The foundation's co-founders, Drs. Sachiko Kuno and Ryuji Ueno, hosted a who's who of the arts community, including Septime Webre of The Washington Ballet, and toasted the honored musicians.
Best In Show
Chef Eric Ziebold's menu was inspired by the music. He designed each course to pair with one of the evening's performances, which included The Washington Ballet accompanied by the Evermay Chamber. –Photos by Alfredo Flores

LORENA (November 30, 2012)--A Lorena woman has been sentenced to serve five years in prison after she pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a wreck on Interstate 35 that killed her 9-year-old daughter.
State District Court Judge Matt Johnson ordered Mirelia Meza to serve five years in state prison and 10 years on probation following her release.
Meza, 40, was charged in connection with the multiple-vehicle crash on Interstate 35 in December 2009 that investigators was caused when a make-shift trailer hitch on her vehicle failed.
Customs and Border Protections Agents later arrested her at the Port of Entry in Hidalgo as she tried to enter the United States.
The Dec. 8, 2009 crash claimed the life of her daughter Isabela Ochoa and injured her then 7-year-old daughter Ruby Meza.
Mirelia Meza was driving a Pontiac Aztec south on Interstate 35 when a minivan the Aztec was towing worked loose of the hitch to which it was secured and rolled onto the highway in Lorena, investigators said.
The driver of an 18-wheeler that was following the Pontiac attempted to avoid the minivan, swerving into the median ditch where the rig struck a large concrete barrier that was pushed at least two feet into the northbound lane.
The driver of a northbound 18-wheeler attempted to avoid the displaced barrier, but lost control of the rig, which jackknifed and overturned.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-Students at Topeka High took their first steps toward choosing our nation's next president.
With the election date just over six weeks away, The League of Women Voters is touring Topeka Area High Schools through next week in attempt to let the youth voice be heard.
High School students turning 18 years old by November 6th listened to reasons why their vote for either party is important.
Organizers of the registration drive say regardless of who a young voter chooses, it's important for their vote to be heard and counted.
"One quarter of the electorate is made up of the youth vote 18-29 year olds and that is alot of power. I think sometimes that group gets busy or pre-occupied and they think their vote doesn't count so the League of Women Voters and other organizations are trying to reverse that," said Bernadett Forge, member of the L.W.V.
Students also learned the importance of researching each candidate and weighing which issues are most important to them before casting their ballots.
The registration deadline for all voters in Kansas is October 16th.
You need to show a drivers' license or other identification when you go to the polls for this election.

Suppose I would like to use a method for data prediction, and that I have some empirical data (i.e., sequence of samples of the form [time, value]). Would it be possible to know in advance, based on the data only, if it makes sense to use a model for prediction (based on the samples, used as a training set).
I am asking this for the following simple reason: it is possible that the sample data is totally random and that there is no correlation at all between the samples. Hence, I would like to avoid trying to find correlations where there is not.

The companies agreed to a 10-year sales agreement for the delivery of 45 billion cubic meters (Bcm) of gas.
Statoil and Wintershall have entered into a 10-year sales
agreement for the delivery of 45 billion cubic meters (Bcm) of
gas to Germany and other Northwest European markets.
"This strategic agreement demonstrates the continued
competitiveness of Norwegian natural gas in the German energy
mix," said Statoil's President, Helge Lund. "Natural gas
abundance and established infrastructure provide long-term
security of supply, and, as the
least CO2-intensive fossil fuel, [gas] can
contribute to further reduction of German CO2
emissions. We see this agreement as
a confirmation of how important natural gas will be in shaping
the long-term German energy system."
"The agreement with Statoil, a long-term and reliable energy
partner with Germany for decades, is a significant milestone
for Wintershall, said Wintershall CEO Rainer Seele. "For
us, this means that we can also use the volumes we produce from
the North Sea in Europe in the future without having
to expand our own infrastructure."
Germany consumes about 80 Bcm/yr of natural gas and is the
second-largest gas market in Europe. Up to 5 Bcm/yr is a
substantial volume, representing more than 6% of total German
gas consumption. The volume corresponds to the annual gas usage
of more than 2 million German homes.
According to the companies, the gas is priced at competitive
terms related to German and Northwest European hubs. The gas will be
delivered through existing pipeline infrastructure from the
Norwegian Continental Shelf, with the bulk of the deliveries
going to Germany.

Natural gas is the future of energy. It is replacing dirty old coal plants, and dangerous expensive nuclear plants. It will fuel cars, vans, buses, locomotives, aircraft, ships, tractors, air conditioners, engines of all kinds. It costs far less. It will help keep us out of more useless wars, where we shed our blood and money. It is used to make many products. It lowers CO2 emissions. Over 2,900 natural gas story links on my blog.

If you are having difficulty paying the people that you owe money to, you need to a make a decision about which debts are most important and therefore who you should give priority to paying. The first thing you need to do is determine the difference between your Priority and Non Priority debts. The following examples will show you the difference between the two.
are debts where, if there is no payment, essential services could be taken from you by the person that you owe the money to. Here are some examples of priority debts:
Rent arrears - Once the rent account reaches arrears of eight weeks your landlord will consider further action, which could ultimately result in the loss of your property.
Gas / Electric – Non-payment could result in the supply to your property being disconnected by the supplier. This could ultimately result in your day to day living being significantly disrupted.
Council Tax – If Council Tax is not paid the council can take you to Magistrates Court to obtain a Liability Order. Your case can then be passed to a bailiff who will try and recover the money. If the bailiffs are unsuccessful the account will be passed back to the court for committal hearing. If you then fail to attend, a warrant could be issued for your arrest with or without bail. You could then ultimately be given a custodial prison sentence.
Other priority debts include:
• Debts secured on your property or other asset
• Magistrates court fines
• Parking penalty charges
• Water rates
• Maintenance
• The Social Fund
• Benefit and Tax Credit overpayments
• Hire purchase or conditional sale
If you have priority debts it is important that you negotiate repayments with your creditors as soon as possible to avoid them taking more severe action.
are debts where, if there is no payment, it will not result in essential services being withdrawn by the Creditor. However, you may be subject to a County Court Judgement. Here are some examples of non-priority debts:
Credit card – When there is a default on payments although additional charges may accrue immediately there will be no significant effect on the creditor. The process of a non-priority debt becoming a priority debt is lengthy in the majority of cases. As with other debts, it is still important to make contact to negotiate a payment arrangement at the earliest opportunity.
Catalogue – With this sort of debt normally the account will be transferred to debt collection agencies with whom you can consider reasonable offers of payment. Non payment of the catalogue will not result in you losing your property.
Other non-priority debts include:
• Unsecured bank loans / overdrafts
• Personal loans with finance companies
• Charge cards
• Personal debts to friends/family
• Doorstep collected loans
If you are making arrangements to clear non-priority debts you should also ask for interest and charges to be suspended on your account to ensure that the debt does not increase.
Be aware that your credit rating may be affected if you have difficulty repaying a non-priority debt. Home owners should also take into account that unsecured loans and credit card debts can eventually become secured against the property.
If you are unsure whether a debt is a priority or non-priority or you require advice on the best course of action to take to deal with your debts contact the Debt Advice Line on 0121 303 2087

Let $C$ be a complex curve. Recall that a Higgs bundle on $C$ is a vector bundle $E$ on $C$ equipped with a morphism $E \to E \otimes K_C$. The space of (stable) Higgs bundles is much studied, and is in particular known to be smooth. Moreover there is a "nonabelian Hodge theorem" giving a diffeomorphism between the moduli of Higgs bundles and a certain character variety of $\pi_1(C)$.
What is known about the moduli space of Higgs bundles with a section, i.e., the space parameterizing triples $(E, s \in \mathrm{H}^{0}(E), \phi: E\to E \otimes K_C)$ ? Is it smooth (after imposing some appropriate stability condition)? Is there an analogue of the "nonabelian Hodge theorem"?

It may look like an ordinary camera, but it's actually a life changing device. Ensuring young kids can see clearly for years to come.
"What this is to catch the kids that have a problem that don't know anything about it and then they can be corrected. Most eye problems cannot be corrected after six or seven years old," says Kenneth Chapman from the Bowling Green Evening Lions Club.
The $10,000 camera was purchased by the Bowling Green Evening Lions Club. A simple snap of the lens sends enough information to an eye specialist to detect any potential issue.
"The camera will calculate and see if there is a problem. We don't tell the kids there is a problem, we don't tell anyone it's a problem. We just send it to Louisville and let them do it," says Chapman.
Problems have been found in the past.
The Early Learning Center in Bowling Green brings the free service back every year.
"We've had several students that have had glasses because of this and have had treatment because they have caught it early on and so now once they start kindergarten they will be that much more ahead of the game by doing this," says Tonya Simpson, Preschool Director at the Early Learning Center.
While an eye exam may sound and look scary for a young child. The procedure used by the Lions Club has no negative affects.
"We don't touch the kids in any way, we don't dilate their eyes. All we do is set them down in a dark room and take a picture of their eyes," says Chapman.
The Lions Club expects to examine more than 600 kids in Warren County this year.
