Kay Chambers always seems to get more than what she has bargained for.
Just looking for a dance partner at a nightclub in 1986, she ended up meeting Bruce McCann, her future husband.
Then in 1993, when she and Bruce as newlyweds bought a rundown Victorian home in Crescent Hill, she expected a few minor renovations. But she hadn't imagined the 17-year overhaul that would follow.
Kay presumed the house, which was originally a duplex, would remain that way. So when Bruce destroyed it to turn it into a single-family home, and Kay found it in shambles, she was shocked to say the least.
"I grew up in old homes and wanted a project," said Bruce. "I probably looked like a kid in a candy store with a sledgehammer."
The home was habitable after six months of intense renovation, a feat Bruce undertook himself with the help of contractor Andre Faget and Barry Hunt of Hunt Remodeling. But there was still much work to be done.
"I was over here morning and night," said Bruce. "Sometimes, I'd be here 13 to 14 hours a day."
Kay gave Bruce full license to restore the home as he wished. So he demolished everything, apart from a few lighting and plumbing fixtures, the windows and main staircase.
He even stripped the walls of their Victorian-style, patterned wallpaper. But it wasn't until last year that Bruce and Kay had them painted. They were reluctant to do so because they felt the patchiness of the walls added a sort of whimsical charm to the home.
Bruce is an aircraft mechanic for UPS, while Kay is a retired special education teacher. They might seem like an unlikely couple. But their 20-year marriage has endured the test of time.
"We met in a bar," admitted Kay. "People always say those relationships don't last. But this relationship has been so profound."
Bruce and Kay's home isn't much different from their marriage. It, too, has survived for many years. It was built in 1880 by the Gregory family and has had only one other owner besides Bruce and Kay.
"We know the home was well-loved because people stayed here forever," said Kay.
It's natural for such an old home to have character because of its history. But Bruce and Kay, with their vibrant personalities, have managed to give it even more.
Every room is painted a different color. The dining room is turquoise. And the master bedroom is lavender. There's even a downstairs sitting room Bruce and Kay call "the yellow room," which is painted a beautiful marigold.
The scarlet-colored guest bathroom on the second floor flawlessly complements the guest bedroom. Its most salient feature is the original black bathtub with gold claw feet.
The carrot-orange kitchen was originally on the second floor where the master bathroom currently is. Its gold- and copper-shaded porcelain tiles, purchased from The Tile Shop, are not only hardwearing but also provide just the right contrast to the color of the walls.
A beautiful, wooden music cabinet from the 1930s adds a hint of old-fashioned elegance to the living room. And Artwork by Dick Oxley portraying playful nudes in pastel colors and black and white perfectly accents its burgundy walls.
Kay elicits amusing responses having placed one of her decorative Derby hats on a wooden, life-size sculpture of a primitive woman. And in the main hallway a shiny, rotating disco ball doesn't just eternalize Bruce and Kay's initial meeting where they danced together, but also takes Kay back to the '70s when she worked at a discotheque.
Bruce rescued the sculpture from a Transylvania University art professor who was going to throw it away. He salvaged the disco ball from the former Club D&D, a property he now owns that he'd eventually like to transform into a neighborhood market.
"We've just collected a lot of stuff through the years," he said.
Bruce and Kay are a testament to the endless possibilities of recycling. They acquired much of their furniture from the attic of a barn belonging to Bruce's family in Winchester, Ky. Kay habitually attends auctions and flea markets trying to find items for the home.
She purchased the exquisite, third-floor, 19th-century stained glass window at a church auction for a mere $25. At Club D&D, Bruce found the striking depiction of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. hanging above a window on the same floor.
"When you live in an old home, you have a tendency to seek out architectural stores all over," said Bruce. He and Kay have brought back furniture, artwork and accessories from many of the places they have visited, including Australia and Eastern Europe.
Their home is almost like a museum – the Museum of Bruce and Kay. They have implanted bits and pieces of their personalities into every corner. And because they're so proud of it, they're more than thrilled to share it with their friends.
"This house has been a wonderful place to entertain," Bruce said. "We both love to cook and love giving dinner parties."
It's no surprise Bruce and Kay get visitors around Derby time due to the general warmth of their home and its abundance of space. Their friends from Canada have made it a tradition to stay with them every year when they're in town for Derby events.
"People who visit this house say it's so warm and inviting. It's happy and there's so much joy," said Kay. "There have been a lot of fun times around here."

What it says on the tin. Beholders and beholder kin are given a number of rays that they can use. The entry for the Beholder-kin: Watcher notes that each eye can use one of its powers every round, in its given arc. Does this mean that a beholder should be able to dump 10+ magic rays every round as long as it commits to a full-attack action? Or is it one ray per round, of its choice? The texts are silent on this. One answer seems to make the thing too easy, and the other answer seems to make it obscenely brutal.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
This is the main restriction. The beholder can use all ten of its eyes in one turn, but only if it has targets in various different arcs to choose from.
Suppose, for example, there are three PCs directly in front of it, and one on its left side. It can aim three rays at one of the targets in front, or divide the rays one each amongst the three in front (or however it chooses to divide them)... and the hapless sod by himself on the left will get hit by another three rays.
Also note that the Antimagic Cone is not compatible with other rays, and takes up the entire arc by itself.

I have some questions about Nanotechnologies. I'm not physicist and my knowledges about the topic are limited by the "Engines of Creation" book by Eric Drexler. So I think that my questions are related mostely to popular science.
As far as I know the molecular mechanisms like nanoassemblers and nanofactories exist in nature(I mean alive cells). Why have they not been created artificially by now?
In case that they have been artificially created yet, do they have any limitations in developing of macro objects?
For instance, macromechanisms which exist in nature like animals are grow very slowly(months and years) and the initial program(i.e. DNA encryption) doesn't allow to make accurate copies. I mean that the twins who are growing from the same genetic material have a significant difference in adulthood(i.e. different phenotypes). Is this phenomena the result of some fundamental low of nature like Heisenberg uncertainty principle or any other that can't be resolved by modern technological methods?
What are the top well known laboratories and organisations in the world which are engaged to resolve such kind of problems?
Thanks in advance.

I have a relatively new 8-core box running CentOS. I would like to develop a stats server that uses TCP. It's very simple, it accepts a TCP connection, increments a counter and closes the connection. The catch is it needs to do this at at least 10k requests a second. I'm suspecting CPU/Memory won't be a problem, but I'm more concerned about artificial limits (like half-open connections) that I might need to configure on my server to allow for this kind of volume. So, is this possible? Which settings should I be aware of? Will my NIC not be able to handle it?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 29 '09 at 7:56
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
This is commonly known as the c10k problem. That page has lots of good info on the problems you will run into.
you should be able to do it [ although that's probably bad idea ].
on resin appserv i can get ~5k req/sec on quad core 2.6ghz xeon. requests invoke simple servlet that reads 1 row from mysql and sends very small xml response.
test was done with
test results:
but i think you'll be much better off using simple c program, surely without spawning new threads for each request. link from Greg Hewgill should give you good idea about it.
even during prolonged test i dont get any problems with connectivity [ mentioned half-opened sockets ]; test runs between two linux boxes connected over gigabit ethernet [ although as you see bandwidth is not a bottleneck ].
You may be interested in a Linux kernel limit I hit while load testing Apache. In my case, the kernel produced some useful error messages so my advice is write your program and if you seem to be hitting a limit, pay attention to the kernel logs.
I would use UDP instead of TCP if possible. It should be more lightweight and therefore scale better.
Your nic should be able to handle it, but I question the design of having 10k new TCP connections per second; if you're creating / destroying connections that quickly, then you should either a) keep them open for longer or b) use UDP instead.
In the case where you've 1M clients which need to do a query from time to time, but where load will hit 10k per second, UDP is probably a better choice.
In the case where you've only got 10k clients which need to do a query every second, they could just hold existing connections open and reuse them. This would be far kinder to the OS and also produce a lot less latency as it wouldn't require a new handshake each time.
In the case where you have 10k requests per second, I imagine you have a front-end load balancer anyway, so you'll need to test that too.
(NB: I think this belonged on Stack Overflow)

The data in Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) pertain to felonious deaths, accidental deaths, and assaults of duly sworn city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement officers who at the time of the incident met the following criteria:
In addition, their deaths must have been directly related to injuries received during the incidents.
Trend data from the past 10 years do not include the officers who died as a result of the events of September 11, 2001. Combining these data with the statistics traditionally included in the annual LEOKA reports would have had an outlier effect, skewing measurements and analyses of LEOKA data. However, a special report concerning the law enforcement officers who died as a result of the terrorist attacks is included in the 2001 edition of Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted.

text: Here is another Smurf that looks more like a miniature troll or goblin. This lesson is going to show you "how to draw Hackus", step by step from the upcoming film 'Smurfs 2'. Like Vixy Smurf Hackus is also a Naughty that was created by Gargamel. He has red colored hair and his skin tone is not blue at all. It's more like a pale greenish shade. He will be voiced by J.B. Smoove and will most likely be one of the favorited characters from the film. Drawing Hackus shouldn't be a challenge but if it is, keep going at it till you get it right. Adios mi amigos and remember, if there is other Smurfs that you would like me to draw just let me know.

Oddly powerful PSU for an OEM
Very nice $300 CPU.
And then, a $50 video card. And a stupid 2GB DIMM thrown in to screw up dual-channel.
$50 is actually really generous for that video card. The GT 620 sucks, and is barely better than the integrated HD 4000 graphics honestly.
Although the PSU is a lot better than normal. From the pictures, it looks like it has a 6-pin PCIe connector, so you should be able to run low-mid range cards, up to a Radeon 7850 which is pretty powerful.
I have this PC. The video card is truly bad. The full size HDMI-out port is its only saving grace. I believe the Windows Experience Index on the video card was 4.1. The 3D Mark06 was equally embarrassing at 5444.
On a brighter note, the PC does have a 6pin molex power connection and 460 watt power supply, so a decent video card can be added. I put an AMD HD 7770 in it and zips along quite well now. 3D Mark06 with the AMD is a respectable19,629.
@flyswatter: But is the card and machine acceptable for non-gaming uses?
I have no interest in gaming and I'm running a Woot purchased Radeon 3600 in my current box (which has a 3D Mark of about 100) so I assume even this crappy card is a step up for me.
I'll be doing general office tasks as well as running some VMs for testing.
@ruadog: Yes, this will definitely suit your needs. The included video card is quite sufficient for surfing and office work, and you may even find a use for the HDMI-out if you have a TV nearby.
I have this computer, which I recently bought. It is adequate for most general computing. I put a 250GB SSD in it. That is when I learned that the motherboard does not support any PCIe 2.0 x2, x4, etc components. The motherboard has three empty PCIe 1.0x1 slots. I find this surprising for a computer this new that the motherboard does not support PCIe 2.0.
Bummer, if you want to mount your SSD on an Apricorn drive and plug it directly into the motherboard as I did.
Also the power supply only has plugs for two additional components. My SSD uses one of them, which means that I can only put in one additional HDD. Typical HP which generally has nothing fancy or extra.
I am driving two very large monitors (actually digital TVs, one a Vizio 42" LCD and one a Samsung 46" LED) at full 1080p resolution from the supplied video card with no issues. The video card only has 1-DVI and 1-HDMI outputs, so I had to get a DVI to HDMI cable to input the sound and picture to one of the TVs
Too many people are commenting that the PSU in this is good, all we know about it is that it's advertised as 460w. We don't know the amperage on the 12v rail, whether it's single or dual(or more) 12v rail, or even the manufacturer. If it's one of the less reputable manufacturers a lot of them don't even output the wattage they advertise. If you plan on buying this and replacing the GPU I'd replace the PSU as well, or at least check the specs of what it comes with and don't blindly throw in a card it can't handle.
I don't recommend for anyone who does not have experience working inside a computer to replace a power supply. Besides remembering where all the wires go you need to know how to drain all the current inside the computer before touching the power supply or you may fry the motherboard or cpu. This is a very powerful computer for general use. The video card can be replaced to play games but not all cards will work well in this computer. This computer case lacks the cooling needed for a gaming computer.

National OA Chairman Ray Capp has been reading and answering your questions. To finish the month of April, Ray answered multiple questions about membership requirements and the Vigil Honor, as well as lodge operations.
With new requirements in place, the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award is prepared for the Order's second century! See if your lodge is on track to be recognized for its camping promotions efforts.
The National Order of the Arrow Committee is pleased to announce the recipients of the Josh Sain Memorial Scholarship for 2016.
The Order of the Arrow has been responsible for a variety of services and programs at the BSA's national jamborees. From providing guides for troops around the jamboree to putting on programs such as the Indian Village, the Order of the Arrow has demonstrated its third principle, service, at the national jamboree with pride. Since the first jamboree in 1937, the Order of the Arrow has continually grown to provide important service to over 52,000 Scouts who attend the jamboree.
Eight Arrowmen from each lodge will have a chance to experience the new home of the original ceremony grounds of the OA, which have been recreated in their entirety at a new Summit Circle.
The spring 2016 National Bulletin is now available. This issue includes information on NEXT: A New Century, highlights from our centennial year, as well as vital JTE and training tips for the new year.
The E. Urner Goodman Award was established in 1969 as a tribute and testimonial to the Order's founder. Its purpose is to encourage and challenge Order of the Arrow members and lodges to increase their effectiveness in promoting and increasing Scout camping in each council. Awards are presented to two outstanding lodges in each region annually. The following lodges are being recognized for their 2015 accomplishments.

FOLLANSBEE - There's no question the exterior of the Red Barn Eatery at 946 Main St. (state Route 2) will get the attention of passersby.
It resembles, well, a bright red barn.
But the two women who operate the new restaurant said word of their homestyle cooking and friendly service will bring people into the place and back for repeat visits.
Article Photos
NEW RESTAURANT — Minnie Baker, left, and Susan Morris of the Red Barn Eatery stand before the distinctive facade for the new restaurant at 946 Main St., Follansbee. The pair have combined their experience in homestyle cooking and customer service for the new venture.
-- Warren Scott
Not that Susan Morris and Minnie Baker don't appreciate the efforts that Joe Bingiel, the building's owner, has taken to help the eatery stand out.
It also was Bingiel who approached Morris about opening the restaurant at the site, which previously was occupied by the Snooty Pig Cafe.
Morris, who had waited at the cafe for a time, also had worked at Helen's Hilltop Drive-in, a Steubenville restaurant, with Baker.
"We discovered we work well together," said Baker, who noted she handles much of the cooking while Morris, a true people-person, waits on customers.
Both said they take pride in making guests feel welcome and delivering good, homemade food.
"When somebody comes to our establishment, we want to give them the best we can give them," said Morris.
The Red Barn Eatery is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.
The two said they are focusing on catering to the breakfast and lunch crowds, with breakfast available all day, but may expand the hours if there's sufficient demand.
They said the restaurant's dining room also is open for private parties.
"Anything on our menu is available to go," noted Morris.
The menu includes the barnyard breakfast special, which includes choice of pancake, waffle or french toast; two eggs; hash browns or home fries; and choice of bacon, ham or sausage.
The Red Barn Eatery also offers Belgian waffles with fresh fruit in season and whipped cream; biscuits and gravy; and assorted omelets and breakfast sandwiches.
For lunch there's an assortment of sandwiches, including sloppy joes, barbecued pulled pork, burgers, fish and grilled chicken; as well as creamed chicken on a waffle; roast beef with baked potato; chef and other salads; and a variety of sides and appetizers.
For children, the Red Barn Eatery offers chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese, fish chunks, corn dog and hot dogs.
Homemade soups, pies and cakes also will be available each day.
The interior of the restaurant also has a country theme, resembling the rustic walls of a barn courtesy of Toronto mural artist Doug Griffith, a holdover from its days as the Snooty Pig Cafe.
Morris and Baker said the setting is fitting as they will be serving up meals made with fresh materials in a hassle-free manner.

The song originally appeared on an album titled Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes, possibly the worst rhyming album title of all time. After the above line, Jimmy asks if a woman is to blame. For what? A song that sounds like it was written by a drunk seven year-old?
#9. Peter Gunz, "Deja Vu"
"Niggas in the Bronx,
Call me Lex cause I push a Lex,
And I rock a Rolex,
And I lounge on Lex',
And I love sex.
If Borat wrote a hip hop song, this is what it would sound like. Mr. Gunz, you were ahead of your time. Wait, you weren t kidding?
#8. Ram Jam, "Black Betty"
Whoa, black betty,
Ram a lam, whoa, black betty,
Black Betty had a child,
Ram a lam, the damn thing gone wild,
She said, I'm worryin' outta mind,
The damn thing gone blind.
From the Hall of Fame of Dumbass Lyrics, this song is also famous for having the worst guitar solo of all time.
#7. Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Snow"
Hey oh... listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh
These lines were almost definitely written while under the influence of the titular substance. If only they had been watching Scarface when they wrote this, they might have come up with another slang term for cocaine that rhymes with say oh.
#6. The Smiths, "Reel Around the Fountain"
But take me to the haven of your bed,
was something that you never said,
two lumps, please,
you're the bee's knees.
This song is about gay sex. Or bees. Or tea. We re not sure, but we feel completely miserable now.

1A collided with 6A as the St. John-Hudson Lady Tigers butted heads with the Wichita North High Redskins in Pratt's Tournament of Champions Thursday afternoon, the Tigers coming away with a 56-23 first round victory and moved on to the semi-finals on Friday evening playing the Maize South Mavericks at 8 pm.
The first quarter started out slow, that is on offense, with both teams struggling to make the score. But playing defense, that was another matter as the Lady Tigers played their "run um till they drop" man-to-man defense, forcing the Redskins to turn the ball over seven times in the quarter.
Jamie Waters canned a 3-pointer and Teresa Christie made two baskets. The Tigers had the chance to build up the lead but just couldn't make a free throw, going 0-4, the score going into the second quarter with St. John leading 9-7.
Both of St. John's seniors, Morgan Osborne and Waters each canned two from downtown with Osborne getting two 2-pointers for good measure. Alexis Witt made a basket and a free throw to make the score 28-14. North answered by making a 2-pointer at the buzzer, the score going into the half with the Tigers leading 28-16. St. John forced six more North turnovers in the quarter - 13 for the half.
The Lady Tigers ratcheted up their defense several notches in the third quarter allowing the Redskins just two points while St. John mustered up 17 more points, making the score 45-18 at the end of three.
The Tigers started dominating the backboards later on in the game - St. John's big men got into position and boxed out the Redskins for the rebound. On offense, Teresa Christie and Witt got the good angles to receive the inwards passes, going around the defenders and making several scores and/or forcing North to foul.
Osborne continued mixing things up, but instead of hitting the long ones, she dribbled in towards the paint for three 2-pointers. Both Witt and Teresa Christie made four points each, Maddy Lippoldt made a basket and Waters a free throw, the score after three, St. John with a commanding 45-18 lead.
With a running clock starting the fourth quarter, Osborne made her third 3-pointer and another basket. Witt, Waters and Tara Christie each made a basket.
The final score - St. John 56 - Wichita North 23.
Scoring for St. John: Osborne 21, Waters 12, Teresa Christie 10,Witt 9, Lippoldt 2, Tara Christie 2.
Free throws: 6-17 for 35 percent - Witt 3, Teresa Christie 2, Waters 1.
Three point field goals: 6-21 for 29 percent - Osborne 3, Waters 3.
Rebounds: St. John 34 - Wichita North 21.
Turnovers: St. John 9 - Wichita North 24.
Assists: St. John 17 - Wichita North 3.

TEMPLE (January 25, 2013)—Luis Adre Sauceda, 20, of Temple, remained in the Bell County Jail Friday in lieu of bonds totaling $11,500 after a series of incidents that started with an attack on a local woman and ended in a brief struggle with officers.
He's charged with assault, public intoxication, resisting arrest, failure to identify, escape from custody and interference with an emergency call.
The charges stem from incidents that started with a report of a violent domestic disturbance in the 100 block of North 17th Street in which a man assaulted a woman, causing minor injuries.
At one point during the disturbance, the woman tried to call police, but the man wrested the phone away from her, police said.
The woman fled to the nearby home of a relative, but the man followed and attacked a friend of the victim's family who tried to intercede, police said.
The man fled, but a short time later, officers found him in an intoxicated state at the CEFCO convenience store at 605 North 3rd St.
The man provided fictitious information when officers asked for his name and date of birth and then ran when confronted about the information, police said.
Officers caught him, but he resisted as they attempted to handcuff him.
No one was injured in the struggle.

Dehydration: Drinking Enough Fluids (Babies and Young Children)
Topic Overview
When your child is not feeling well, he or she may not want anything to drink. This may happen if your child has a fever or diarrhea or is vomiting. It is important that your child drink enough fluids to avoid dehydration.
Not drinking enough fluid can cause constipation. When the weather gets hot or when your child is getting more exercise, he or she needs more to drink.
Use the following table to determine how many 8 fl oz (240 mL) bottles or cups of fluid your healthy baby or child needs each day.
Keep track of how much your child drinks and urinates when he or she is ill. Remember that children may need to drink more when they have a fever or diarrhea or are vomiting.

I've installed FreeBSD on an Intel SS4200-EHW which has four hard disks and a flash DOM (Disk On Module) disk through an IDE interface. I want to install FreeBSD on the Flash DOM. In order to get the FreeBSD installer to find the Flash DOM, I've used the hints from here - by adding the following "hints" before "booting" the installer:
set hint.ata.0.at="isa"
set hint.ata.0.port="0x1F0"
set hint.ata.0.irq="14"
The installer finds the correct disk and installs without any issues. I also made sure the disk/partition is set with the bootable flag.
When I boot from the Flash DOM, I get the following error message: "No ufs" and end up with a prompt starting with "boot:".
Not sure why this is. Might be that I wasn't able to persist the hint information to any configurations files during the install. Anyone knowing how I can ensure that this get persisted. Any other way to get further to diagnose this issue?
Update Based on feedback I've included the boot image I am stranded at:
The "tab" key doesn't work.
Also I booted PC-BSD to try to edit the files from there and I'm able to mount all other partitions except the boot partition. The image below shows error message when trying to access the MBR partition:

Dictionary.com provides a sufficient starting point:
As far as I can tell, the only nuance between ostensible and ostensive is that ostensible means evident or apparent, sometimes pretended (externally), ostensive has a slight lean toward certain (internally). However, ostensive is not a widely used term, and is unlikely to be understood as different from ostensible in most contexts. So ostensible takes the cake in point of usefulness.

Cyclist's Ex-Mates Cooperated
Doping allegations outlined this week against seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong are based in part on new interviews by investigators with former teammates who have never publicly addressed questions about drug use on Mr. Armstrong's cycling teams.
A letter from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency sent to Mr. Armstrong Wednesday said the agency had conducted "face to face meetings" with "more than 10 cyclists as well as cycling team employees" about Mr. Armstrong's conduct. USADA, which declined to name the witnesses, said Mr. Armstrong's cycling teams engaged in a coordinated "doping conspiracy" over many years that involved "team officials, employees, doctors, and elite cyclists."
Mr. Armstrong has faced accusers before—most notably former teammates Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton, who have themselves admitted doping. But in this case, a person familiar with the matter said, anti-doping authorities may benefit from an unusual amount of leverage.
Photos: Lance Armstrong's Career
Timeline: Decades of Doping
Many of the riders gave sworn statements in a separate, nearly two-year investigation by federal prosecutors into possible criminal fraud committed by Mr. Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service team. Even though that investigation was closed without any charges being brought, those riders could face legal problems if they were to change their stories from what they said in earlier interviews with government officials.
If Mr. Armstrong asks for a hearing, it is unclear how many of the new witnesses would agree to testify before an arbitration panel in the case. The person familiar with the matter said criminal prosecutors, during their probe, conducted interviews with several riders outside the formal grand-jury proceedings. Those statements also could be turned over to USADA and used in the doping case it plans to bring against Mr. Armstrong.
One of the cyclists who agreed to be interviewed by federal investigators after receiving a subpoena was George Hincapie, Mr. Armstrong's longtime lieutenant who raced alongside him in all of his Tour de France victories. Mr. Hincapie, who announced his retirement from cycling earlier this week, has never tested positive for doping and has never spoken publicly about whether banned substances were used on Mr. Armstrong's team.
Mr. Hincapie's lawyer, David B. Anders, a partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, didn't return messages seeking comment.
In a statement on Wednesday, Mr. Armstrong called the USADA charges "baseless, motivated by spite and advanced through testimony bought and paid for by promises of anonymity and immunity." Mr. Armstrong denied having doped.
The USADA letter said the case against Mr. Armstrong includes data from blood samples taken in 2009 and 2010 that were "fully consistent" with blood doping.
Robert D. Luskin, a lawyer at Patton Boggs LLP, who is representing Mr. Armstrong, sent a letter to the general counsel of USADA on Wednesday asking for more information about its case. He said Mr. Armstrong "was never told contemporaneously that he had ever failed any test," and that he had "successfully passed every test administered to him during that period." Under USADA's protocols, he wrote, "you are required to furnish us with copies of any 'laboratory documentation.' "
Mr. Luskin said Mr. Armstrong has until June 22 to make a written submission to USADA's anti-doping review board. If the board rules against Mr. Armstrong, he could lose all his Tour de France titles.

The USADA action against Mr. Armstrong is the most prominent test case yet for a lesser-known strategy used by anti-doping authorities: the "non-analytical positive."
Unlike other prominent doping cases, in which athletes were disciplined after failing various drug tests, USADA indicated in Tuesday's letter that there was such a multitude of circumstantial evidence that the agency could charge Mr. Armstrong with doping.
"It's the only way you can detect or stop sophisticated cheaters," one anti-doping official said. "And the only way you can expel coaches and team doctors."
The nature of USADA's case against Mr. Armstrong shows that "they have recognized that testing alone isn't sufficient" when it comes to policing doping, said a lawyer who has represented professional cyclists in dealings with USADA.
Mike Straubel, director of the Valparaiso University Sports Law Clinic in Indiana, said these cases "aren't very common." The first non-analytical positive was for Tim Montgomery, a specialist in the 100-meter dash who had set a new world record in his event in 2002. Mr. Montgomery never returned a positive test for a banned substance, but admitted under oath to a federal grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative, or Balco, that he had used steroids and human-growth hormone. In 2005, he was stripped of many of his results and awards, and barred from competition for two years. He then retired.
Mr. Straubel added that the USADA's planned case against Mr. Armstrong's team doctors "is certainly the longest and most detailed" by the USADA "that I have ever seen."

I'll give a full update in next week's issue of The Voice-Tribune, but today I just wanted to share some of the images from the Saturday afternoon block party that connected residents from one of the toughest areas in our city to fellow community members who reside all over Kentuckiana.
Did we affect ground-breaking change? Of course not. But did something special occur during the get-together? Based on the feedback I continue to receive, decidedly so.
I look forward to sharing with you next week.

Four things you didn't know about Somerset West
Long before the Dutch East India Company landed at the Cape to set up a refreshment station, the Helderberg region provided grazing for the animals of the indigenous Khoisan people, and wildlife such as eland.
Where it all began
The town of Somerset West started with a cattle post for Dutch soldiers in 1672, and a farm called Vergelegen. Somerset West was officially established in 1822.
Even until quite recently, Somerset West was considered a small town just outside of Cape Town; today it is a thriving community and part of the greater Cape Town metropole. The town lies on the coast at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains, and is surrounded by farmlands and vineyards.
What's in a name?
The town was named Somerset after then-governor of the Cape, Lord Charles Somerset. The suffix "West" was added after 1825, to differentiate it from Somerset East in the Eastern Cape.
What to see and do
Visit the historic Vergelegen estate. One of the oldest remaining vineyards in South Africa, it's been voted best winery by numerous publications. Its exquisite gardens are absolutely perfect for picnics (but you cannot bring your own, pre-order from the estate), and lazy days in the sun.
Visit the Helderberg Nature Reserve, a 363-hectare wildlife sanctuary showcasing remarkable flora and fauna.
Visit the Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum located in Lwandle township, dedicated to the history of black migrant workers in the area during apartheid.
Unwind and play golf – there are a number of world-class golf courses in and around Somerset West.
Shop 'til you drop at Somerset Mall – you will find everything you need here. Somerset Mall boasts 197 shops, including regular grocery and retail stores, small art shops and galleries, as well as restaurants, movie theatres and games for kids.
Wend your way around the Helderberg Wine Route, encompassing over 20 wine estates in Somerset West, Gordon's Bay and Strand, where visitors can taste and buy wines. From there you can also make your way to Stellenbosch for the afternoon, to experience more superb Cape wines.
Did you know?
In the 1960s, the AECI (African Explosives and Chemical Industries) factory in Somerset West was the second-largest dynamite factory in the world, although today it is no longer in operation. The factory was opened in 1903.

In English, "to judge someone" often implies a negative opinion, as in "Don't judge me!".
Is there a German equivalent for this? How would you translate the example? My dictionary gives "jmdn. richten". Is this any good in this context?
In English, "to judge someone" often implies a negative opinion, as in "Don't judge me!".
Is there a German equivalent for this? How would you translate the example? My dictionary gives "jmdn. richten". Is this any good in this context?
I'd say "richten" is more a judicial term (btw not to confuse with "hinrichten" which means "to execute so."). This is what a judge does. I assume you mean "to judge so." in the sense of having prejudices against someone as in
(from Merriam-Webster)
This would simply be "beurteilen nach":
I don't think there is a direct translation for "don't judge me" without adding an object as in the example above:
would be
In some contexts you could probably use "verurteile mich nicht" but "verurteilen" means more like "to heavily criticize" and is usually for quite serious acts and causes others to keep their distance (apart from also being a synonym for "richten"). I think for most cases "beurteilen" should be fine.
The English use of "Don't judge me!" covers many different contexts.
"Richten" does rarely have the same flavour. It would be used to translate related bible phrases on the theme of "don't judge others".
In the context of a relationship a closely-related phrase that is actually used often would be:
In the context "Walk a mile in my shoes before judging me.", people would rather say:
I would suggest a translation that hasn't been mentioned yet: "über jemanden urteilen". This is also, in my opinion, the most natural translation for "don't judge me", which then becomes "urteile nicht über mich". A Google search shows that this phrase appears to be quite widely used.
In addition, "über jemanden urteilen" carries at least some of the Christian undertones that "to judge someone" has.
In the body of the text, though, the article then goes on to use the verb "richten", which is certainly the usual translation of "judge" in the context of "judge not, that ye not be judged".
1 The article has been removed.
is used like "to judge someone" in English
rather refers to grades and performance
to condemn or convict someone
means to judge someone (in court) and has the connotation of "to enforce judgement"
to judge someone - über jemanden urteilen

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas, Volume 1 – Jean-Efflam Bavouzet
Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is starting a complete, chronological survey of Beethoven's piano sonatas, to run parallel with his complete Haydn sonatas series. This first box set covers the sonatas composed in the 1790s. Two further volumes, of middle and late sonatas respectively, will follow in 2013 and 2014. Each three-disc box set in the series will be available as the price of two CDs.
In a recent cover feature in International Piano, Michael Church spoke with the pianist about the new project and reported: 'For Bavouzet, the particular pleasure of coming to Beethoven after Haydn lies in the fact that although their basic harmonic language is roughly the same, in Beethoven's scores the dynamics are clearly indicated, especially where they seem completely independent of the music's so-called natural harmonic tensions.' Bavouzet added: 'The accents are in exactly the wrong place, and that's what creates his music's excitement. I am so happy to have these two streams of my work running side by side for the next few years.'

"...Chandos's recordings, made between 2008 and 2011 in Suffolk's Potton Hall, Dunwich, are exemplary, capturing Bavouzet's Steinway Model D in rock-solid, full-bodied sound, and the booklet essay by William Drabkin, furnished with a number of musical examples, is well written and highly informative. When it comes to Beethoven, Bavouzet is the equivalent of a strict Constitutional constructionist. His readings will withstand the test of time."
Jerry Dubins – Fanfare – November/December 2012
Remy Franck - Pizzicato magazine - November 2012
Christopher Breunig - HiFiNews Yearbook 2012
"...Bavouzet's playing shines a light on the prodigious confidence and brilliance of these early (1793-98) works, all composed when Beethoven was in his early-twenties. It will be fascinating to hear what Bavouzet does with the middle-period 'Waldstein' and 'Appassionata' as well as the far-seeing late sonatas."

"Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is without doubt one of today's most intelligent and questing pianists ... he seems to excel in all that he touches. The freshness of his Haydn means that his affinity with early Beethoven should come as know surprise... This is a significant, fascinating issue."
Colin Clarke – International Piano magazine – September/October 2012

"...Bavouzet's performances are distinguished and virtuosic ... Chandos has provided him with luscious recorded sound, which allows for planty of air round the notes, so all told this is a most desirable set overall."
Michael Tanner - BBC Music magazine - July 2012
"...Throughout Bavouzet conjures a Haydn-like clarity, and has none of the swagger of a pianist liek Barenboim. Once you get used to his restrained scale, the underlying power and musicality shine out."
Ivan Hewett – The Telegraph – 9 June 2012
"...On the basis of this first instalment, he [Bavouzet] has much to say about this music that is relevant and necessary: one can only look forward to the continuation of his cycle."
Richard Whitehouse – International Record Review – June 2012
"...Bavouzet's fingers, precise in touch, sometimes witty and mischievous, make Haydn's heritage clearly audible. But Beethoven's marks are ever present in dramatic interjections, lurching dynamics, cliff-hanging leaps, and all sorts of rhythmic and structural games. Bavouzet's playfulness is especially valuable ... Bavouzet equally connects with the music's soul sculpting the Pathétique's grave opening chords to ensure they cast a long shadow, and memorably guiding the slow movement of op 10 no 3 into the heart of darkness. He also offers a novelty: a reconstruction of the four-movement version of op 10 no 1, fascinating to hear ..." ****
Geoff Brown – The Times – 25 May 2012
"...Bavouzet's Beethoven – here embracing the first 10 sonatas, including the 'Grande Sonate' and 'Pathétique', all written before 1800 – is consistently engaging in its imaginative scope, stylistic freedom and technical fearlessness..." *****
Andrew Clark – The Financial Times – 26 May 2012
Editor's Choice
"Jean-Efflam Bavouzet enters a very crowded field with this new sonata disc. And what an entrance! ... Bavouzet's drive, rhythmic attack and wonderful, unsentimental approach to the slow movements make this disc of early sonatas so fascinating. As with his Debussy recordings, he is a stern observer of the printed score. Here is a Beethoven with all the youthful vigour and verve one could wish for!! *****

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- The hotel industry continues to expand in Manhattan as crews gear up to start work on two brand new facilities.
An area near the corner of Bluemont Avenue and North Manhattan Avenue has been fenced off where several homes and an apartment complex will soon be demolished.
Once they are torn down, construction will begin on a new five story hotel in Aggieville across from Kansas State University's campus. It's expected to open next year.
Ron Fehr, Manhattan City Manager, said: "It's going to be a very unique facility, obviously a lot different than what's there but the owners there are excited about their relationship to Aggieville as well as the university… I believe it's designed to be somewhat of traditional rooms plus some long-term stay rooms as well."
A Holiday Inn Express will be built by Noble Hospitality off of Fort Riley Boulevard near the new Candlewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn. It will be the last building constructed in Manhattan's south end redevelopment efforts, part of a massive revamping of the downtown area.
Fehr said the addition of new hotels is a sign of the growth in Manhattan and shows that the city is a hot spot for different types of events.
"Obviously, it helps when the athletic department is being very successful and just the university with all of its activities and things going on. We have a lot of youth sports and other programming here in the community as well so I think a lot of that adds to it. There's a lot of special events like County Stampede…. We have some hotels that are remodeling and we have increased the number of rooms that have been added to the system as well," he added.

Oprah brought up the reference to her weight in the Times review. She answered very honestly about her early issues with weight, and how she felt about the review. And BTW, she looked slender, beautiful and healthy. Brava

there are some beautiful photos of Ms. Ringer and Benjamin Millipied in the March issue of Elle.
Dancemom, the photos are indeed lovely and I enjoyed looking at them. But I chuckled a bit by the opening statement that referred to Ringer and Millepied as "two of dance's brightest stars". Would they have been referred to that way a year ago?
Before SugarPlumGate and Black Swan? Goes to lend more support to the old age "there's no such thing as bad publicity".
All in all I'm happy for Ringer, she's had a lot of ups and downs and she's a lovely dancer.I'm glad she's gotten some recognition. Millepied less so, mostly because I'm wary it will boost his work as a dance creater and certainly his choreography itself won't really do that.

One of my favorite moments isn't covered here. Oprah asked how accurately Black Swan's ultra-competitive atmosphere of the ballet world reflected real life. Jenny replied, "We don't kill each other so much. I've only killed two or three."

Thanks, vipa! Direct link -->here. Scroll down for two too-brief video segments.

Note to Oprah:
Give Jeni her own show on your network stat!
She's one of those ballerinas that makes you feel happy whether she's dancing or just sitting there.

Also, it was great to see that behind the scenes footage in glorious HD on a big screen TV instead of the tiny computer screen Youtube videos I normally watch.

Data Envelopment Analysis

Replicator Dynamics
- abstract
The present paper examines one of the central elements of evolutionary thinking - competition formalized by the replicator dynamics mechanism. Using data on product characteristics of automobiles sold on the German domestic market over the period 2001-2006, we construct a competitiveness or fitness variable for each car model applying non-parametric efficiency measurement techniques. The basic question we intend to answer is whether cars providing a higher quality-price ratio for consumers tend to increase their market share compared to variants with lower quality-price ratios. The relationship between a car models' fitness and its market performance is empirically tested in a regression framework. The results show that the principle of `growth of the fitter' is working as suggested by evolutionary theory. In particular, we find that car models with considerably lower fitness than the market average lose, whereas models with above-average fitness gain additional market shares.

Just about a year after they played a superb show before just over a hundred people at Brighton Music Hall, the Milk Carton Kids are a certified big deal, as evidenced by their sold out show at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston Wednesday night before about 950 fans.
While it's encouraging for music fans to see the two talented acoustic singer-songwriters--Kenneth Pattengale (right in photo) and Joey Ryan--get some recognition and enhanced status, it does have drawbacks. Two guys playing amplified acoustic guitars and singing into one microphone does have its charm, and this duo certainly has the instrumental chops and the stellar vocal abilities to make it work as anyone ever has. But, it must be said that the intimacy of the smaller venue allowed the pair's music to permeate your consciousness a bit better than the larger space did.
The Paradise sound system was flawless, and as we moved around the room during the 95 minute set, the guitars and voices were consistently clear and balanced. And the audience was reverential in its silent respect, with even the ever-present cellphone cameras seemingly put away for this night. Chatter was at a minimum and the overall atmosphere was so very quiet with the two performing, that when a barback dumped a load of fresh ice into an upstairs bar well, the resultant clatter was so jarring half the balcony fans on that end turned around in shock.
The Milk Carton Kids deal in subtle shadings however, low key details, and sensitive nuances both in their lyrics and their melodies, and it's just a bit harder in a bigger hall. The duo performed admirably last night, and as we mentioned, the crowd was enthralled, in rapt attention all night. But there were some moments when the relentlessly laidback, wistful musings just didn't project enough, and seemed lethally precious. Pacing could be improved, but the music was sublime.
Milk Carton Kids began just a few years back in 2011, when the two solo acts joined forces.� Their recorded debut, "Retrospect," released in March of 2011, was in fact still billed by their two given names. But by that summer, their studio debut "Prologue" was credited to Milk Carton Kids, and with NPR becoming an early and enthusiastic booster, their stock soared.
Not only do Pattengale and Ryan's voices meld in some otherworldly synchronicity that is haunting, but their guitar talents merge perfectly as well, in a kind of folk music that mixes in jazzy fills and occasional bluegrass fire. Milk Carton Kids have also become heroes to guitar aficionados for the axes they play: Pattengale's 1954 Martin 0-15 model, and Ryan's 1951 Gibson J45.
Both writers pen songs from� evocative but highly individual perspectives. Consider the new tunes they played Wednesday night, titled "Asheville," which has the couplet "Come back to me by next year this time, Tell me whatever it is I left behind.."� Or ponder their signature song, "Michigan" from the "Prologue" album, where the lines don't always follow logically, yet somehow artfully depict a failed relationship with a series of impressions and feelings that is more effective than any linear story, all the while the pair crafts heartbreaking guitar melodies.
"Michigan" was certainly a highlight of Wednesday's show, a song whose subtle power transcends any setting. The 16 song set included eight of the tunes from the band's latest album, last year's The Ash and Clay," with five more tunes coming from "Prologue." Interestingly, five of those tunes from the last CD were jammed together at the beginning of the set, and it just seemed to us that the "Prologue" songs are still stronger.
"Memoirs of an Owned Dog" was a mid-set treat, a quirky tune from their first album that is sung from the viewpoint of a pooch who's passed on after getting loose and running into the street. That setting makes it seem macabre, but it is anything but, instead a tender look at the dog's life and desires, and a sweetly affirming thanks to his owner. � The kinetic guitar duel at the heart of "I Still Want A Little More" gave that song a real jolt, and allowed the crowd to (quietly) tap feet in time.
"Asheville" was yet anther killer ballad unveiled by the duo, after Ryan had requested no one tape the as-yet-unrecorded tune, so that "the first time anyone sees it is not on your (bleepy) cellphone video.."� The song "Heaven" became a foot-stomping delight, with a wild Pattengale guitar solo prompting whoops of joy from the crowd. Following that up with a typically heart-tugging take of "Michigan" was marvelous pacing.
But then the duo introduced what they called "a love waltz," which was actually "Stealing Romance," also from that "Prologue" album, but an exceedingly low-key, delicate, almost chamber music kind of meditation. It was just too slow and too fragile for that point in the night, and the energy level sagged. The regular set ended with the always jaunty romp "Girls Gather Round," a chestnut from that very first record that finds Pattengale gleefully tiptoeing along folk music parody, as he sings of telling "things that we never ought to know.."
The two-song encore segment opened with "New York," a lively mash of impressionistic word pictures, delivered as sort of a two-part talking blues. Then, continuing their love of place names, Milk Carton Kids finished with "Memphis," a tune from the latest album that skillfully mixes images of that city with that trademark haunting wistful tone. It was musically entrancing, and the lyric images were potent: "It was a dream.." and "Graceland is a ghost town tonight.."� It was in short all the things that make the Milk Carton Kids such a singular treasure on the music scene.
Milk Carton Kids also released a new DVD Tuesday, the 73-minute "LIve from Lincoln Theater."� Ryan noted that it was a live concert recording, and "if you're here tonight, you'll probably hear most of the same songs on the DVD.." � Ryan, alas, needs work on his salesmanship.

I read a great entry in the Cranking Widgets blog about keyboard shortcuts.
This one is my favourite. It's the single fastest way I've found to execute applications or have quick-jumps to hard-to-reach folders. If you're a keyboard person, this is very quick.
1) Make a directory called "shortcuts" somewhere (mine is "C:\Personal\Shortcuts\"). Map a path to it [Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment Variables] - add the shortcuts directory to the "PATH" under "System Variables".
2) Create a shortcut in there linking to whatever you want to get to - my most used example is my "C:\Projects" directory, and is named "projects".
3) (Optional step) Go into [Internet Exploder / Internet Options / Advanced] and check the "Use inline AutoComplete" checkbox (near the bottom of "Browsing").
Now, type "[windows-key]-r" and in the box type the name of your shortcut ("projects" for my example). Your directory should pop up. In future, if you have the autocomplete on, you should just have to type "[win]-r pr [enter]" and it should pop up the projects directory. For a fast typist, this is about half a second and you get to keep your hands on the keyboard!
I have quite a few shortcuts set up (including one to the shortcuts directory - means I type "[win]-r sh [enter]" to open the directory to add a new one. I'd suggest not more than five at the beginning so you can learn them faster. I also use it for most-used programs, so my list includes the following: "1" is Gmail Chat, "2" is Windows Messenger, "blog" is a directory of blog ideas, "time" is a link to my timesheet Excel file, "study" is where my business school stuff is, "hosts" is my hosts file deep inside the Windows directory.
(Linux note: you can do the same thing under Linux, but some of it is a bit more work, like running the correct program for a given file.)

Do you know any other "language" that is used by people except mathematics and is not subject of interpretation? By subject of interpratation I mean e.g. that 1 000 000 people will undertand that 1 + 1 = 2 and never 3. E.g. when you say that "This flower is red". Some people will think that it is darker, some lighter etc.
migrated from mathematica.stackexchange.com Nov 23 '12 at 13:32
This question came from our site for users of Mathematica.
In this answer, I will address the question: are mathematicians certain of everything they say?
In retrospect I do not think this is the question that was asked (I seem to be skilled in answering the wrong questions), but I'll leave it in place nonetheless.
This is of course not possible. The absolute truth is some platonic ideal we are all reaching for. There is nothing mathematicians are really sure of, but for many things it's so very hard to doubt it, that everyone agrees - indeed, proofs for $1+1=2$ (this doesn't mean what you think it does: $2$ is defined as $1+1$, so we have to prove something else) are so very hard to debate that we agree that it is right.
And in fact, for many proofs (mathematics is all about proving things) we can systematically expand it in simpler terms, and even have a computer check them. Sure, it is possible that everyone along the line made a mistake, so that everyone thinks a proof is right but it really isn't, but this chance is so small that we say it is proven.
There have been fake proofs in mathematics. Many mathematicians claimed to have found a proof or counterexample for $P\stackrel?=NP$. Most of these "proofs" are relatively easy to refute. And in any case, unlike in the physical sciences, all data is in the proof itself, so there is nothing else you need to check the validity of an argument. In physics and the social sciences, the huge datasets that papers are based on are usually not published, and that makes it hard to check validity.
Mathematics is as much a debatable science as physics and medicine. However, we always have a hope of answering critical questions, and in this sense mathematics is "sure" of things. But in the end, even mathematics is about convincing other mathematicians that you are right.
First, mathematics notation is subject to interpretation. Looking at your example, we have that $1+1=0$ in modulo-$2$ arithmetic. Most mathematics requires context to be understood.
I would say that programming languages are less subject to interpretation than math; after all, machines can understand them and produce consistent results.
During the intuitive creative process, mathematics is subject to interpretation. For example, during the invention of calculus, there were various intuitive interpretations of the notion of infinitesimals. These notions could not be made completely rigorous at the time (primarily due to lack of a precise formal language such as first-order logic). However, by and large, they produced correct results when employed by competent practitioners. Only a few centuries later was this intuition faithfully rigorized, when Abraham Robinson discovered a rigorous interpretation of infinitesimals in his nonstandard analysis.
For a more recent example, see the Wikipedia page on the notion of a field with one element, which begins "in mathematics, the field with one element is a suggestive name for an object that should behave similarly to a finite field with a single element, if such a field could exist".
What is room for interpretation after all?
Statements are always subject to interpretation. To make sure there's no ambiguity in a statement you need to build a more or less complex system of axioms and corollaries that prove your statement true. The same can be applied to the flower you point at. If you state precisely which aspect of the flower you are talking about and what measure of color you apply then you can disambiguate such statement just in the same way.
While it might not always be feasible to disambiguate anything it is not always necessary or desired either. It is interesting that you came up with the example of constructivism. Indeed every person has different pictures in mind that are used to describe their sensory perceptions conceptually. This diversity is usually not a problem as there are a lot of norms and conventions "socialized" into each individual that disambiguate each others actions (including verbal utterings). Admittedly these are somewhat implicit and vary along the time and across subcultures but they provide the solid ground without which a society could not function.
As someone has mentioned computer programming to be free from interpretation, I would argue that. The programmer carefully makes explicit decisions about features and functionality, edge cases and error handling. But he usually starts with a problem statement, which he interprets. He then surrenders his code to some other application which again interprets it, and finally bring it to execution. I would argue that the average programmer knows all of the default settings that are implicitly being used by the compiler, nor is he aware of the implications of all its "optimizations". That is, the same dependency on mutually agreed conventions as in mathematics and in any other field here.
As for your example of $1+1=2$ there probably are millions of people that interpret this equation as you would expect. Such fact might be commonly accepted without any doubt, but as this question shows this is only true if the prerequisites are indeed defined accordingly. Therefore, a mathematician when being asked about the validity of $1+1=2$ should reply a fuzzy it depends, just as the attorney when being asked for legal advice would.
Only by assuming ("pretending"?) that truth and meaning reside entirely outside the human mind can one assert that "mathematics is not subject [to] interpretation". Such a view reflects a remarkably useful working consensus, broadly embraced by professional mathematicians, that, if one puts forth a set of axioms, definitions and agreed-upon rules of inference, then some propositions will be inescapably true, others will be inescapably false, and still others will be undecidable.
This point of view will often appear inconsistant with a view based on the assumption that truth and meaning are products of living, breathing individuals. In the latter view, it becomes reasonable to ask:
-how does person A interpret this set of mathematical ideas and propositions?
-how do students come to understand the basic ideas and representations of algebra?
-how can one help individuals grasp the distinction between mathematical objects (the real line, a triangle, a function) and the tokens we employ to represent them (a number line drawn on paper, a picture of a triangle, notation for an infinite set of ordered pairs)?
The mathematics educator has to be able to shift constantly between these two perspectives. In addition, s/he has to help students become adept at the former approach while remaining aware of the latter.

$$ f(x) = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}x^i}{1+\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}x^i} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}x^i}{\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}x^i} = x $$
I haven't taken many math classes (so bear with me if I'm wrong), but I think this is correct, since $$ \frac{\sum \limits_{i=1}^{\infty} \ k^i}{k}=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}k^i $$
Also, even though both series diverge when $x$ is big enough, I don't think the ratio diverges.
My question has to do with this: $$ g(x)=\lim_{n\to\infty}{\frac{\sum \limits_{i=1}^{n}\ x^i}{1+\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} \ x^i}} $$
If $x>1$, then no matter how high $n$ is, $g$ is never above $1$ since the denominator is larger than the numerator. So, $g(x)$ is not always equal to $x$.
Does a sum from one to infinity mean something different than a sum from $1$ to $n$ as $n$ approaches infinity?
If not, then where was my mistake ($g$ is not equal to $f$)?
