Finally a fast, easy fix for my scattered brain. I've switched from my previous bulky dayplanner to the Levenger calendar card system. Now tasks track easily on these small cards and my Levenger Nantucket wooden cardholder looks gorgeous on my desktop (now clean and organized). These to do cards are a breeze to keep updated and are with me daily in my wallet (Levenger's RFID travel wallet). I also like the 3x5 multicolor cards to color code my tickler file.

I really like using these cards. They fit perfectly with my 3X5 card system. However, the recent order is not what I expected. The printing is very faint - in fact, on one side it is difficult to see the printing. Plus, the printing is not square on the card - the lines and words run at a slant. I don't mind paying for quality, but this is not quality.

Good system - but need to write small!
By MGDurham
from Durham, NC
Comments about Levenger 3x5 To Do Cards (Set of 100):
Nice size and weight to the cards. Spacing is efficient, however you need to write small. I use these to organize the many projects I have going on at once. I use one card per project and it works well for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great product - keeps priorities organized
By Jim in Pgh
from Pittsburgh PA
I use these cards throughout the week to keep track of projects that I want to complete. They are great because they do not take up a lot of space, but they do provide lots of room to list all of the To Do's that you have for the day or week.
Excellent Cards
By OrganizationalFreak
from Woodstock, GA
I am an organizational freak and these cards have replaced some bulkier to-do lists I have used in the past. The cards are good quality, functional and printed well, not too dark and not too light. In addition they fit in your pocket and they fit well in a travel wallet. Terrific product!

Super Student Organizer
By Bunny
from San Jose, CA
As an independent college counselor, I look for ways to help my students keep themselves organized between our meeting times. These cards are super - and help the students list what their 'to do' tasks are, date the meeting time, and prioritize what they need to accomplish. What I especially love (as do the students) is the non-intimidating size of these cards --- the tasks seem manageable because the card is not a small book! Thank you!
Smart, quality cards
By smallgoodthing
from Middle of Illinois
I really like that there is a column on the left for ranking tasks in order of importance. I write lists in order of importance and later add rankings if the order changes, saving a re-write. The cards are thick, smooth, and double-sided. I've not found better quality cards anywhere, and I've been looking.I'm ordering the Pocket Dock-it so I can see six cards at a glance whenever I open my notebook.

Write Small but Organizes Tasks Well
By JoywasJoyce
from Los Angeles, California
Except for the fact that the lines are close together and entering tasks with a broad tipped fountain pen requires some dexterity, if you have an endless "to do" list, this is a wonderful way to note progress (or the lack thereof). I constantly lost lists of errands/tasks that were written on regular paper/post-its, but these more sturdy cards resist being misplaced, and you can check off your accomplishments. Being a most unorganized person (and a pack rat), these are a great help.

I am not sure I am using the standard definitions so I will open by defining what I need:
Let $X$ be a set, $\nu:\, \mathscr{P}(X)\to[0,\infty]$ will be called an external measure if $\nu(\emptyset)=0$ and for any $\{A_{i}\}_{i=1}^{\infty}\subseteq\mathscr{P}(X)$ (not neccesarily disjoint) it holds that $\nu(\cup_{i=1}^{\infty}A_{i})\leq\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\nu(A_{i})$
Let $\nu$ be an external measure on a set $X$ then we say that a set $A$ is $\nu$ measurable if for any $E\subseteq X$: $\nu(E)=\nu(E\cap A)+\nu(E\cap A^{c})$
Let $\mu$ be a $\sigma$-additive measure on an algebra $A\subseteq X$, let $\mu^*$ be the outer measure on $X$ that comes from $\mu$.
It was proven in another exercise that the set of $\nu:=\mu^{*}$ measurable sets, $M$, is a $\sigma$ algebra and that $\nu$ is $\sigma$-additive on $M$.
Since $\nu$ is also a measure on the algebra $M$ there is an outer measure $\nu^*=(\mu^*)^{*}$.
The exercise wishes to prove that $(\mu^{*})^{*}=\mu^*$.
I don't really know how to even start here, what I first wanted to figure out is what is $M$. my intuition is that $A=M$ but I tried to prove it and couldn't start (I wrote the definitions but I couldn't see why if $B\in A$ it is $\nu$-measurable, not to mention the other direction which seems even harder).
Can someone please help me get started on this problem ? maybe a hint or an observation that might help me figure out what to do?
ADDED: by an outer measure that comes from a measure I mean $$\forall E\subseteq X:\,\nu(E):=Inf\{\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\mu(A_{i})\,|\, A_{i}\in A,E\subseteq\cup A_{i}\}$$

An appeal of the decision to allow the video and audio recorded confession of Danny K. Coston to be used against him was on appeal this week in Appellate Court in Mt. Vernon, Ill.
Coston, now 38, was sentenced last year to 53 years in prison in connection with the August 2012 shooting deaths of Jacob Wheeler and Jessica Evans. He was convicted at a stipulated bench trial of murder and sexual assault, in which the prosecution put forward the evidence it would have presented at a regular trial to a jury, but instead presents that evidence the defense agrees it would have presented, but only to a judge.
As part of the stipulated agreement, Coston agreed to only be able to appeal the decision to allow the recorded confession to be used against him.
An attorney put forth a lengthy argument at this week's hearing, arguing Coston did not knowingly waive his right to talk to the police without an attorney present. The audio-recorded appellate court argument can be heard on the court's website. No decision has been rendered by the appeals court.

I know that both 'estar ansioso de' and 'estar ansioso por' mean to be excited for something or looking forward to it, but how do I decide which one to use? Do the two have slightly different meanings? Are any other preposition ever used instead of 'de' and 'por' in this context?

According to RAE, they can both be used interchangeably, but:
Both "de" and "por" can be used. I'm not sure if both of them are gramatically correct, but they are used in regular spanish.
Particularly, I think "por" sounds better (and it's also more used in Peru). It kinda answers the implicit question ¿por qué estás ansioso?:
Sounds better than "Estoy ansioso de mi examen ...", right?
Estar ansioso de and estar ansioso por can be similar insofar as they mean "to be anxious regarding..."
But they could have different versions of "regarding." "Estar ansioso por ti" means "to be afraid FOR you" (that something bad will happen to you).
"Estar ansioso de ti" could mean to be afraid OF you (that you will do something bad to me).

The GlassBook Project Reception
The GlassBook Project, a joint initiative of Rutgers-University in Newark's Department of Arts, Culture and Media, and Witness Justice, will be launched at a campus reception on Jan. 28, 2010. The goal: To reshape how people generally think about and respond to survivors and individuals with mental health concerns, shifting the question, "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?"
Informed by individuals who live through traumatic experiences and then respond with self injury, addiction, eating disorders, isolation, hyper-vigilance, and more, students, who are enrolled in a book arts course taught by Rutgers-Newark faculty member Nick Kline, create books made of glass about the trauma response topic. The books are then exhibited in communities to tell the stories of survival and to build understanding. The NJ State project will focus on changes in relationships that occur following domestic violence, which is significant because this impacts a survivor's support network, health and wellbeing.
Some of the more notable speakers and attendees at the reception include:
- Steven Diner, Chancellor, Rutgers University-Newark
- Celina Gray, Executive Director of the NJ Governor's Council on Mental Health Stigma
- Sandra Estepa, Region II Coordinator for the Office of Women's Health/DHHS
- Nick Kline, Artist, Conceptual Creator and Instructor, Rutgers University-Newark
- Helga Luest, Founder/President & CEO, Witness Justice
- Congressman Donald Payne (D-NJ), US Congress (remarks read)
- Yvonne Pressley, New Jersey State Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health Services

News Releases
Columbia College honored Diana Schriefer, director of Columbia College-San Diego, with the Frazier Moon Administrator of the Year award during an annual employee appreciation luncheon held at the main campus in Columbia, Mo.
The award recognizes nationwide campus directors who exemplify the virtues of the late Frazier Moon, a former Columbia College dean who played a significant role in the advancement of the extended studies division, now known as the Division of Adult Higher Education. "This award is so special because a representative from each major functional area of the college provides input on the selection process," said Mike Randerson, vice president for Adult Higher Education. "Diana is an exemplary employee and very deserving of this award."
Schriefer has worked for Columbia College in a variety of roles including academic advisor at the Guantanamo Bay campus, serving the public servants coordinator in San Diego and, most recently, director of the San Diego campus. She also has experience in sales, banking, education and human resources.
"I would not have received such a prestigious award without my wonderful staff," said Schriefer. "I'd like to recognize their efforts as well."
Schriefer holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from Columbia College and a master's degree in human behavior from National University in La Jolla, Calif.
Schriefer resides in San Diego with her husband, Michael, and two sons.
Columbia College-San Diego was established in 2009 to meet the higher education needs of the personnel at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, other area military installations and to serve the broader civilian community.
Columbia College-San Diego offers one associate and one bachelor's degree program on campus as well as 23 associate, bachelor's and master's degrees online.
Founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., Columbia College has been helping students advance their lives through higher education for more than 160 years. As a private, nonprofit, liberal arts and sciences institution, the college takes pride in its small classes, experienced faculty and quality educational programs. With more than 30 campuses across the country, 18 of which are on military installations, students may enroll in day, evening or online classes. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Columbia College educates more than 30,000 students each year and has more than 70,000 alumni worldwide. For more information, visit www.ccis.edu.

I've decided to save it for emergency use rather than as my summer sleeping bag.
Made from a tough, four-ply, wind/waterproof fabric (Thermo-Lite®) with a napped inner surface , this bivvy will hold up to abuse while providing a soft feel. Themo-Lite's vaporized aluminum layer is non-conductive and reflects up to 80% of your body heat. The bivvy is tapered from the foot to the head to reduce weight and improve efficiency of heat retention. The Thermo-Lite Bivy is reusable and comes in a lightweight nylon stuff sack. It is hand washable and repairs easily.
Dimensions: 84" length, 36" head width, 27" foot width.
Dimensions in stuff sack: 4 x 7 in (10.2 x 17.8 cm)

Have not tried it yet, BUT, on the label, it says it is water proof and that you need to open it up to let out body moisture. It does not mention ANYTHING about being a replacement for a normal sleeping bag in warmer weather as your description does, only that it is a survival sack. I am reluctant to try it for fear of sweating to death.
Reviewed By: A customer from Byron Il USA on 8/4/09
I was a little skeptical on ordering it as I had one that would fold up in your pocket and it wasn't warm or easy to use. I liked this one it is small and light and you can stay in it with the velcro tabs. I haven't been in real cold weather yet but it is good down to 50 degress.

Not very useful. With no breath-ability, it was too hot on summer nights (temps as low as 60F). It is also quite noisy as one shifts position through the night. The zipper only goes about half way down the side which further restricts the options to introduce outside air. Unfortunately, I still need a lightweight sleeping bag. This did not do the trick.
Reviewed By: SC from NM on 6/6/11
I tried the bivvy sack on a mild spring night in a high desert location (New Mexico). It did not gather moisture, my main advance concern. I was inside a tent in an arid location. Neither the inside nor the tent ground cloth had no condensation in the morning. The inside of the bivvy sack has a nice soft fiber lining and I left it open, but my legs inside the bottom. I found it to be noisy as I moved. I'm a light sleeper, maybe this wouldn't bother others. It was also very long for my height, 5'3". Lots of extra room.

In one paper I saw this equality:
$$\sum_{\eta=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{z}{(z+\eta)}=\pi z\cot(\pi z)$$ which is the same as $$\sum_{\eta=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(z+\eta)}=\pi \cot(\pi z)$$ where summation is understood in the sense of a principal value. What does it mean?
In another paper I found the next expression:
$$\frac{\exp(2\pi iaz)}{\exp(2\pi iz)-1}=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{\exp(2\pi ina)}{z-n}$$ for $a=0$ it is equivalent to $$\frac{1}{\exp(2\pi iz)-1}=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{1}{z+n}$$ which is not exactly the same expression like in the first case. $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{1}{z+n}=\pi Cot[\pi z]-i\pi$$
Where is my mistake?
If the second formula is wrong, what is the correct formula for the second case? $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{\exp(2\pi ina)}{z+n}=?$$

Given that the Earth and Moon are often said in the literature to have very similar geochemistry, what is the current theory as to how the Earth's Moon formed?
The current accepted theory is known as the Giant Impact Hypothesis, where according to this NASA webpage "Origin of the Earth and Moon" (Taylor) a Mars sized object collided into the early Earth.
This theory allows explanations of (from the link above):
The chemical makeup:
and in terms of orbits:
However, recently, there has been some revisions to this theory.
According to NASA's page "NASA Lunar Scientists Develop New Theory on Earth and Moon Formation", based on concerns that the Mars-sized would likely to have had a different composition to the Earth (inconsistent with the current similarities in geochemistry).
The new hypothesis is (from the link above):
This is also discussed in "Huge Moon-Forming Collision Theory Gets New Spin" (Wall, 2012), basing the revised hypothesis on the rotation rate, which is theorised to have been very fast, from the article:
Further discussion, based on the geochemical makeup is discussed in "Geochemical Constraints on the Origin of the Earth and Moon" (Jones and Palme) conclude that:
So, there is still some question as to precisely how the Moon was formed.

Let $Z$ be an irreducible and reduced scheme. Does there exist a reduced complete intersection $Y$ such that $Z$ is an irreducible component of $Y$?
As long as $Z$ is projective or quasi-projective over say $k = \mathbb{C}$, this is fine. This can be generalized, but let me keep it simple for now.
The quasi-projective case reduces to the projective case by taking the closure of $Z$ in projective space. Therefore, let's do the projective case, $Z \subseteq X = \mathbb{P}^n_k$. Let $I_Z$ denote the ideal sheaf of $Z$. Consider $$I_Z \otimes O_X(n)$$ for $n \gg 0$. This sheaf is globally generated, and so has no basepoints away from $Z$. For a general section $\gamma \in \Gamma(X, I_Z \otimes O_X(n))$, the hypersurface $H = V(\gamma)$ is therefore smooth away from $Z$ (here I'm using Bertini -- characteristic zero and algebraically closed). Any of these hyperplanes passes through $Z$ by construction.
Now, let $d$ denote the codimension of $Z \subseteq X$. Choose $d$ general hyperplanes $H_1, \dots, H_d$ coming from general global sections $\gamma_1, \dots, \gamma_d \in \Gamma(X, I_Z \otimes O_X(n))$.
The scheme theoretic intersection $W = H_1 \cap \dots \cap H_d$ satisfies what you want.
In fact, $W = Z \cup Y$ where $Y$ is some other irreducible scheme which is smooth away from from $Z$ (the fact that $Y$ is irreducible and smooth away from $W$ comes from Bertini's theorem).
Ok, how do you know that the irreducible component of $W$ corresponding to $Z$ is reduced? This is also pretty easy. This comes from the fact that $Z$ was reduced in the first place. Indeed, your general sections $\gamma_1, \dots, \gamma_d$ generate maximal ideal of the stalk at the generic point of $W$ since $I_Z \otimes O_X(n)$ was globally generated.
Of course, for arbitrary schemes, there's no hope. $Z$ need not embed in a nonsingular scheme at all.

In Chicago the only people who are carrying legally are government/law enforcement employees. It has the highest murder rate in the US. I believe they've had 30 firearm related murders this year. None were committed by a CCW holder because there is n such thing in Chicago. Most of the mass shootings in the US in the last 10 years have been in "gun free" zones. As for global warming, they are finding signs of civilizations under melting glaciers so I'm guessing the human race and the earth has survived warmer temps with less technology. Carbon credits are just a way to punish capitalists.

I remember the world chuck describes. The pre great society was a far better place than what we have and the new world order to where they are planning on taking us. Those who think it's going to be great clearly have learned nothing from history. But, oh that's right. The Dept. of Ed. has been turning history on it's head for past 50 yrs. Plus, the curriculum in public schools has been dumbed down, our teachers can't teach in the ridiculous over-regulated environment and the kids (many) are so out out of control due to lousy parenting that I fear we don't have a chance. If something doesn't give soon, we will be a third word country. Sorry, but you lefties on this site will not fare well. You are not of the "ruling elite."

Core you said, "Chicago also has one of the highest population densities in the country".
And you are right, most gun related deaths come from metropolitan areas with over a 250,000 population.
These areas have the most stringent gun controls, so innocent law abiding people don't stand a chance.
Most mass murders happen in Gun Free Zones by Cowards.
None of the murders have a Concealed Carry License.
The murder rate and Violent Crime in the United States has fallen drastically since Concealed Carry became law.
Violent Crime has increased in the UK after gun control came into effect.

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

RS43952 So you think global warming is real why?
The earth has warmed quite a bit since the ice age and I am not complaining?
What do you want to blame that on?
I got an idea why don't we blame it on Carbon (CO2) and create a market for Carbon and then the Government Elite can cash in?
CO2 is an odorless, invisible, and non-flammable gas. It is also safe for humans in the maximum concentrations recommended for plant growth. The average level of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 300 PPM (parts per million). If the level decreases down below 200 PPM in an enclosed growing area, plant growth slows to a halt. Through the years of testing and research, the optimum enrichment level of CO2 for plant growth has been agreed to be about 1500 PPM.
Oh and by the way plants turn CO2 into Oxygen so you can breathe.

RS43952 maybe you should take a look at the 1963 Communist Agenda for America and let me know why you think Obama doesn't fit the bill. In the 1940s, Obama's Hawaiian Communist mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was extremely active in Chicago Communist Party fronts, campaigns, and newspapers. He worked alongside the political ancestors of David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist, and Valerie Jarrett, Obama's closest adviser. For Axelrod, the political ancestors were the Canter family, Harry and David Canter—so far to the left that they actually lived in Moscow and worked for Stalin's government just before relocating to Chicago. The Canter family mentored David Axelrod in Chicago in the 1970s. For Jarrett, the link to Frank Marshall Davis was her grandfather, Robert Taylor, and her father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, who worked with Davis in various Communist Party campaigns and causes. Then check Bill Ayres and Rv. Wright.

I don't care for Obama in general. I don't like the way he disregards and bypasses Congress. I don't like the way he so heavily relies on issuing Executive Orders. With that said though, I don't think it's fair to label him a communist. I for one teach my children the importance of doing what we personally can to take care of our environment. Global Warming is a very real threat and needs to be discussed. As far as the abortion goes, you want to tell women they can't make that choice for themselves you'd rather religious institutions make that choice for them. Doesn't that go against what America is supposed to be about? Abortion is an optional medical procedure that women have a right to choose whether you like it or not. Who are you to come into a pregnant woman's life and tell them what they "have" to do? The government tried to outlaw abortion once, what happened? Back alley abortion clinics popped up almost instantaneously.

Six months ago Steve and his partner-in-Can't Understand New Technology-crime, Camilla Grey invited Gordon Young, editor and co-founder of The Drum to lunch to ask him/The Drum to sponsor our third issue of our Can't Understand New Technology publication.
So we're sat having lunch in Kings Cross. I'm building up to asking Gordon for the money and before get to it he says the following, 'How about we print the next four issues as a thirty-two page insert in our magazine?'.
Today, six months later that conversation is now a reality. Behold the new and improved Can't Understand New Technology thanks to our publishing partners at The Drum we have thirty-two beautiful, uncoated pages of our typically controversial, punchy, sweary insight in to the Creative and technology industry. Written for and by those who make it and break it, quite literally.

I'm going to try my best to frame this question in a way that doesn't result in a language war or list, because I think there could be a good, technical answer to this question.
Different languages support type aliases to varying degrees. C# allows type aliases to be declared at the beginning of each code file, and they're valid only throughout that file. Languages like ML/Haskell use type aliases probably as much as they use type definitions. C/C++ are sort of a Wild West, with
typedef and
#define often being used seemingly interchangeably to alias types.
The upsides of type aliasing don't invoke too much dispute:
- It makes it convenient to define composite types that are described naturally by the language, e.g.
type Coordinate = float * floator
type String = [Char].
- Long names can be shortened:
using DSBA = System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepBoundaryAttribute.
- In languages like ML or Haskell, where function parameters often don't have names, type aliases provide a semblance of self-documentation.
The downside is a bit more iffy: aliases can proliferate, making it difficult to read and understand code or to learn a platform. The Win32 API is a good example, with its
DWORD = int and its
HINSTANCE = HANDLE = void* and its
LPHANDLE = HANDLE FAR* and such. In all of these cases it hardly makes any sense to distinguish between a HANDLE and a void pointer or a DWORD and an integer etc..
Setting aside the philosophical debate of whether a king should give complete freedom to their subjects and let them be responsible for themselves or whether they should have all of their questionable actions intervened, could there be a happy medium that would allow the benefits of type aliasing while mitigating the risk of its abuse?
As an example, the issue of long names can be solved by good autocomplete features. Visual Studio 2010 for instance will alllow you to type DSBA in order to refer Intellisense to System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepBoundaryAttribute. Could there be other features that would provide the other benefits of type aliasing more safely?

Club Drugs
Club Drugs Introduction
A wave of new drugs has become increasingly popular with today's adolescents and young adults. These drugs are commonly known as club drugs, a term originating from the rave phenomenon. Many club drugs are also called designer drugs, referring to the fact that many of the drugs are manmade (for example, Ecstasy or ketamine) rather than found in or derived from nature (for example, marijuana or opium derivatives). Raves are all-night dance parties with loud, pounding music and flashing lights stimulating vigorous dancing.

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
People might not translate because they think the follow things, that as noted is the comments may or may-not be true.
Another explanation would be that most mobile games have a quite intuitive gameplay and require less text to be read by the player so most players are able to enjoy the game even if they have moderate english skills.
In these cases, translating the game isn't really worth it for reasons already mentioned by Simeon Pilgrim.
Perhaps it's because most people who have access to these technologies speak english nowadays, at least good enough to understand what's going on. I'd rather have a good game with more features rather than one translated in my native language. It wont really affect my decision on which game I'll choose.

I don't think they're fap material, really. The outfits and camera angles are certainly sexual, but I think that's to make them feel vulnerable. Like Drebin keeps saying, Snake is "cleansing" them of their surface emotions to reveal the vulnerable inner selves that the shells were made to hide. (Which really doesn't follow--I don't know how you make a crazy person not-crazy, but beating the hell out of them wouldn't be on my list of guesses--but whatever.) When they come out of their suits (which aren't sexualized at all; they even have male voice actors before they come out of their armor) it certainly isn't titillating in that way; even if you do think "wow, she's hot" more importantly you think "wow, she's pathetic".
But I might just be being generous. This is the game where nearly every female character outside the B&B has her shirt unzipped for no reason.
Thanks, SchildConstruct! Hope it's not too much like an actual asylum, though. Once you get past the novelty of being around crazy people, those places are boring.

Is there an algorithm to test divisibility in space $O(\log n)$, or even in space $O(\log(n)^k)$ for some $k$? Given a pair of integers $(a, b)$, the algorithm should return TRUE if $b$ is divisible by $a$, and FALSE otherwise. I understand that there is no proof that divisibility is not in $L$ since that would imply $P \ne L$ which is open. Also I understand that if there is a nondeterministic algorithm in $O(\log(n)^k)$ then there is a deterministic algorithm in $O(\log(n)^{2k})$, by Savitch's theorem. I believe I've figured out an $L$ algorithm to verify $a*b=c$, and also an $FL$ algorithm to compute $c$ (essentially the method I was taught in grade school, reusing ink when possible), but I haven't been able to adapt it to divisibility. Is such an algorithm for divisibility known?
(This is an updated version of my comment on the question.)
Beame, Cook, and Hoover [BCH86] showed that integer divisibility is in L. More recently, Chiu, Davida, and Litow [CDL01] showed that integer division is also in L.
[BCH86] Paul W. Beame, Stephen A. Cook, and H. James Hoover. Log depth circuits for division and related problems. SIAM Journal on Computing, 15(4):994–1003, Nov. 1986. DOI: 10.1137/0215070

Edited to add: As Gadi points out in a comment, this answer is wrong.
If you have a logspace algorithm to verify $x \times y = z$, then since you're not concerned with running time, you can simply check, for all $c$ with $1 < c \le b$, whether $a \times c = b$.

It's not possible to delete it, as it is one of the built-in apps that you cannot remove. You can, however, move it somewhere daft. If you check in your app folders, and do the press-and-hold to move jiggle, it should show up somewhere, possibly on the mystery last screen.
You aren't close to the app limit by any chance are you?
This happened to me today. The solution for me was simple.
Look carefully in each of your folders amoung your Apps. It is possible that you moved it by mistake into one of them.
Have you tried restoring your iPhone?

Is there a DIY method to sharpening the grooves of your wedges? Up until now, my method has been to buy new wedges every other year. This gets expensive and frustrating. Especially with the new groove changes, I've wondered if its necessary.
As far as physically sharpening grooves on a golf club, I would leave that to the professional.
Why? The high risk is not worth the little reward in terms of attempting to sharpen your own grooves. DIY may lead to buying new wedges anyway. Pro shops offer club services, and if you determine sharpening your grooves by a professional is relatively cost-effective than buying new wedges, this would be the route to go.
Assuming you play often, because replacing your wedges every other year is frequent on average, the best way to keep the grooves sharp is good maintenance. From a performance standpoint, it is beneficial to keep the wedge you have played with and gotten used to for a year or two while maintaining them as close to optimal condition as you can.
Good maintenance for golf clubs DIY is less risky. All you need is a bucket, dish detergent, a brush with plastic bristles (metal bristles can ruin the club), and a towel.
*These methods relate to irons. I do not recommend soaking metal/persimmon woods, hybrids, or putters.

Here is one reason why "peace talks" with Hamas (among others) will never go anywhere.
The Charter of Allah: The Platform of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas)
"In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate You are the best community that has been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah. And if the People of the Scripture had believed, it had been better for them. Some of them are believers; but most of them are evil-doers. [italics and bold added by me] They will not harm you save a trifling hurt, and if they fight against you they will turn and flee. And afterward they will not be helped. Ignominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found save [where they grasp] a rope from Allah and a rope from man. They have incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them. That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and slew the Prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and used to transgress." Surat Al-Imran (III), verses 109-111 Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors. The Islamic World is burning. It is incumbent upon each one of us to pour some water, little as it may be, with a view of extinguishing as much of the fire as he can, without awaiting action by the others.
Perhaps if Hamas were to retool it's platform to something more conducive to peace. Just a thought.
Why do you think a retooling would be conducive? Hamas has agreed to accept the PA's position recognizing Israel in their new joint venture. Netanyahu is against the new venture between the two. Before that, we saw their separate entities as an impediment to peace. There is no pleasing Netanyahu.
Whatever barriers you see to peace making, Bob, you could a least concede that the Netanyahu government is at least as much opposed as you seem to think Hamas is.
We can rehearse our personal views of the situation till the cows come home, and evermore go out the same door whence in we came. Perhaps responses to Falk's post - if not leading to breakthroughs in world peace - would at least help us understand the actual conditions. I daresay he has a much more complete picture of the situiation there than does any of us, so listening to him seems worthwhile. One may differ profoundly with Professor Falk, but anyone who has met him recognizes that he thirsts for peace and justice as deeply as any peson alive.
That a bright and worldy man who has dedicated his professional llfe to the notion that people can and should converse about their views of he world as a productive route toward peace thinks that the negotiations should cease is very discouraging, even frightening conclusion.
How do we respond to Falk?
Mark L.
We begin to organize and mobilize around boycotts; around raising the issues of apartheid in current Israeli policies. we being to confront the bias and compromises that exist between most in Congress and the IAPAC.
Both parties have to be called on the current bias toward Israel that is partially paid for by hefty campaign donations from American Jewish associations.
BUT - more and more, these issues are finally being aired on national news - that needs to continue and expand.
Facts - Hamas has and was a terroist organization (per certain governments, etc.) Why this is complex are the other facts - any objective history of the 1940's - 80s would show that every side has committed terroism (in fact, some Israeli prime ministers were notorious leaders of terroist organizations). Why is it that only Palestinians or Arabs or Muslims continue to be marked by this history and Israel is given a pass?
Catholic universties could play a role in raising the bar and giving this type of conversation a significant boost - that also goes for the USCCB. Recently, the president of Loyola Chicago manipulated the news and overruled a decision by the student president...the news on this was actually incorrect.......and it was a complex issue because Loyola has an interest in keeping and maintaining certain large donor parties happy - and, like most in the US after decades, they have a biased view of this whole situation and thus pressure leaders to maintain the status quo.
Actually, the US since 1948 have had a history on both sides - unfortunately, the brief pushback by Eisenhower in 1956 was negated by subsequent presidents who swung ever more to the Israeli side (without any type of honest or objective discussion).
Can remember when I was in 7-8th grade - Kennedy commissioned a White Paper on Vietnam - something similar needs to be done now in the US.
All good points, Bill. The complexity introduced by the other facts you name is essential to understanding why the status quo is unjust. I am encouraged by even small signs that the younger generation is not swallowing this story whole. Nevertheless, there is still a tremendous bias in American public life toward the Israeli government's version of the truth in the middle east. Academic institutions have caved in shamefully to pressure to suppress any speakers who might contradict Israel's narrative, in which they are of course blameless. Not to mention politicians, who fall all over themselves to see who can pander most to AIPAC. The recent exclusion of J-Street from AIPAC was a sad testimony to the strength of that (false) narrative as a litmus test.
Since Hamas' official and publicly stated judgement about Jews is that "...most of them are evil-doers.", it is difficult to see how any agreement Hamas them would be worth an empty milk carton. Until and unless Hamas and other muslim groups revise their beliefs about Jews (and Christians as well), they are simply not to be trusted. This is not rocket science.
Hey, Bob - you hear the same type of remarks from the other side - it is the old and outdated blame game and, of course, Israel is the Golden City on the Hill. You ought to read the history of South Africa - the same tatics and language were used by the Rhodesians to justify their apartheid and blame, even hunt down, the ANC.
Would suggest that you drill down and study the real issues - go meet the people; do a walking tour of the Gaza Strip. Without some type of power balance, there will never be dialogue. Your comment is a non-starter, reveals only biases, and continues a thread based upon either fear or ignorance.
The sentence I quoted from the Hamas platform was not a "remark", it was part of a formal philosophical/political statement of purpose. It is meant as a declaration of what Hamas members are expected to adopt as their own, if they have not already, as a basis for dealing with Jews. It is not presented as a subject of debate or discussion, but as a position from which Hamas members should conduct operations, including political operations, with Jews in order to gain power.
Bob - so what? And the US has supported Israel with somewhere in the neighborhood of 30+ UN Security Council vetoes in order to allow Israel to not have to comply with universally accepted and confirmed measures towards peace.
What if someone put all of those on a list - these are *part of a formal philosophical/political statement of purpose*. It is meant as a declaration of what Israel expects and has been doing. It is the basis for dealing with not only Palestinians but the Arab nations and the world. These actual votes are not presented as a subject of debate or discussion (thus, US vetoes), *but as a postion from which Israel conducts operations, including political operations, with others in order to continue their power*.
As, I said, your statement means absolutely nothing.
Read Richard Falk's essay. Couldn't agree more.
Face it, the geopolitics of the situation demands that the current situation of the Israeli apartheid regime will continue indefinitely. At least until there is a majority in Israel that will install a government with a mandate to achieve a just peace for all parties. That's not going to happen in the short term.
The only thing that could challenge that political equation which now dominates the region is for the US to disentangle itself from the web of assurances and alliances that require the US to support the state of Israel militarily and economically no matter how repugnant Israeli policy. Not going to happen for a whole host of political and security realities for the US, both because of internal politics and for global strategic interests.
The Palestinians' only hope to regain their national integrity is to adopt the tactics of the ANC in its decades long struggle against South African apartheid. If Nelson Mandela could wait out the racists of his day and time on Robben Island, then so could equally noble and revolutionary leaders in the West Bank and Gaza.
I wish the world didn't work that way. But this is the reality that we all have given consent.
So be it.
Jim Jenkins:
Seeing as how you characterize Israel as an "apartheid" state, exactly the same as how South Africa was, I am trying to understand reconciling that charcterization with Israel being the only functioning democracy (Iraq and Afghanistan are crumbling) in the region. In Israel, non Jews and Christians have the same voting rights as Jews; and when you look at the savage behavior of the other nations in the near east, I can fully understand Israel's reluctance to get drawn into any kind of political entanglement, unless there are some iron-clad stipulations. We certainly don't want replays of the school girl kidnapping and village burning going on in the near east.
@ Bob Schwartz: Apartheid South Africa was also a democracy of sorts, I suppose, but just for the Afrikaners and other whites.
I would suggest that you travel to Gaza for your next vacation. Let us know if the [savagery] you see is only committed by "other nations in the near east"?
Sadly, Israel can build walls, fences and anti-missle systems so high that they pierce the clouds, but that will not make them any safer.
Peace and reconciliation is the only answer.
Bob Schwartz,
Voting rights? Depends on who is counted.
7,659,000 people living in Israeli territory have voting rights, while 2,128,115 people have no voting rights. Altogether, one in every 4.5 people is denied political representation; this one person is almost always Palestinian. If Gaza is included, the number of unrepresented climbs to 3,820,372, or roughly one in every three people.
Meanwhile violence of Israeli Jewish fanatics against Christians and Arabs is on the rise within Israel:
The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem is concerned for their flock: "We feel neither safe nor protected."
Is it just me or is dotCommonweal avoiding a blog discussion about last Sunday's Nicholas Kristof's, Maureen Dowd's, and Frank Bruni's brillant op-eds?
I've given up reading the three of them--all utterly predictable. If you want a blog discussion, I'll post what you have to say...and not respond until there are 100 comments! How's that for a deal?

Roguestar 0.6.0.0 is now up on hackage. You can install and run with:
$ cabal install roguestar roguestar-glut roguestar-engine & ~/.cabal/bin/roguestar
The latest version brings:
- New monsters: Hellions and Dust Vortexes
- Underground dungeons
- Power-ups (hidden in the aforementioned dungeons) that serve to level-up the player's character.
- Improved walking animation.
- It's no longer possible to spawn with zero sight range.
- Fixed some of the worst of the user interface glitches.
Under the hood, I've also split RSAGL into a few topic-specific libraries and implemented value recursion in rsagl-frp. There is an experimental GTK-based client, but I don't recommend it just yet, which is why it isn't on hackage.
I've also migrated the project to github, which includes source code, the manual, and the issue tracker.

6 Priceless Ancient Artifacts (Destroyed by Idiots)
Dealing with valuable relics is delicate work. There are tens of thousands of qualified professionals working hard every day to ensure that our past is not forgotten and our treasures stay safe for generations to come.

What happened there? Was it flying over some desperately defended American fort when a British cannonball pierced its noble hide ... yet still it waved on in defiance? It's a scene that would bring a single majestic tear to a bald eagle's eye. But it's not reality. The real story is this: All those missing pieces were cut off with scissors and given away as stocking stuffers.

"Oh look, a tiny, centuries-old scrap of fabric. Um ... thanks, Santa."
After it flew proudly over Baltimore during the final battle of the war, Lt. Col. George Armistead took the impressively huge 30-foot-by-42-foot flag home as a keepsake, while Francis Scott Key wrote the shiny new nation's anthem in its honor. When Armistead died, he passed it on to his wife, and when she died in 1861, it passed again to their daughter, Georgiana Armistead, who thought it was so lovely, she couldn't bear to keep it all to herself.
Georgiana began to shop the banner around to museums that wanted to borrow it, but it wasn't enough for people to just see it on display -- they wanted to own a piece of history, too. And so, bombarded with requests for fragments of the flag, Georgiana began snipping pieces off of it and handing them out to whomever she deemed worthy. It was considered a great honor, usually bestowed on worthy folks like war heroes and famed politicians -- but she was still tearing off pieces of the Star-Spangled Banner like they were tabs at the bottom of a "Free Guitar Lessons" flier.
Smithsonian Institution
Except that people actually had an interest in the flag.
By the time horrified Smithsonian conservationists halted Georgiana's all-you-can-snag flag buffet in 1907, more than 200 square feet of it had been removed and mailed off to collectors, including one of the stars. Legend says it was gifted to none other than Abraham Lincoln. But the recipe for most good legends is two parts bull to one part shit, and Georgiana was far more sympathetic to the Confederate cause, so it probably landed in the pocket of some racist buttwad. So if your great-great-great-grandpa was a giant wad of racist butt, maybe give your attic a check for something blue and pointy that's not an old Stabby Smurf doll.

#5. A Man Paintballs Some Native American Artworks for No Reason
For more than a thousand years, the Native Americans living in the Colorado River Valley considered Grapevine Canyon sacred ground. It contains some of the best-preserved rock paintings and carvings of their entire civilization and has survived plagues, conquest, and climate change ... but it did not survive the D-man.
Via YouTube
In 2010, David Smith decided that this priceless relic of our pre-colonial past would look a lot better covered in random neon splatters. Smith was going for a nice peaceful hike through Grapevine Canyon, and, since no nature walk is complete without a spirited round of p-ball against the local fauna, Smith was, of course, carrying his paintball gun. One thing led to another, and a priceless artifact was destroyed by a dude who likes Call of Duty, but doesn't feel like it leaves enough bruises.
Apparently teabagging an opponent can get weirder.
When Smith was caught after his shooting spree, he offered no excuse for it. He even admitted to seeing the warning signs that the area contained a historical monument, but still thought, "You call that a buffalo? Bet I could do better with this here gun." He was fined $10,000 in damages, but unfortunately, due to the type of paint he used, it cannot be cleaned without further damaging the rocks.
This type of thing is precisely why some areas actually refuse to label sacred ground, so as not to attract vandals. But that leads to its own problems, like when contractors accidentally destroyed some other ancient Native American artworks because somebody forgot to write "IRREPLACEABLE PART OF HISTORY; DO NOT RAM WITH TRACTOR" on it.
#4. An Ancient Pyramid Turned into a Road
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
The Nohmul pyramid was one of the largest Mayan pyramids in the small Central American country of Belize. Built 2,000 years ago and standing over 100 feet tall, it sat at the center of a settlement consisting of 81 buildings and served as the No. 1 prayer spot for 40,000 Mayans.
Jules Vasquez/7NewsBelize.com
That doesn't really look like much of a pyram- oh.
We're using the past tense there, because the Mayans interbred and advanced right along with modern civilization and now do most of their praying in front of the toilet, like the rest of us slobs. And because, in 2013, builders decided that the pyramid would be more useful in its alternate form: a road. So they bashed it to the ground and used it for paving materials.
NA/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
The "aliens built the pyramids" theorists are never gonna shut up about this little faux pas.
Their excuse for the destruction was that, technically, the pyramid was on private land and they had the permission of the owner. Sound logic: That's exactly why, if you're out digging in your yard one day and accidentally unearth the Holy Grail, you're perfectly free to drink Schlitz out of it and whip it at your annoying neighbor's head. But that doesn't mean you're not an asshole for doing so. Thankfully, the Belize government didn't take kindly to this archaeodickitry and pursued criminal fines over the matter. Fines that reach all the way up to $10,000, a number that we sincerely hope is missing a 0, or else Belize is way more (morally or fiscally) bankrupt than we thought.

Gore Bike Wear Alp-X Plus Short - Men's $179.95
Gore Bike Wear designed its Alp-X line to be packable and compatible -- so multi-day and endurance riders can enjoy a streamlined, functional kit. Take, for example, the Alp-X Plus Shorts. They are skillfully engineered for riders that stack on desert miles and push through quick-changing, mountain weather.
Case in point, in addition to usual mountain bike-specific features, the Alp-X Plus has loops at the waistband for attaching overpants. When that dark cloud haunting the next drainage turns out to be a fast-moving, mercury-dropping hailstorm, pants that let you pedal without a waistband rubbing between a pack and your skin is the preferred coverage.
On the opposite end of the climate spectrum, after a four-hour desert tour enjoying cooling airflow from the Alp-X's zip-adjustable mesh vents, you can remove the liner and air things out for tomorrows ride. Like the outer shorts, the liner attaches via loops, and it is compatible with Gore Bike Wear pants as well as the Alp-X shorts -- helping to eliminate clothing overlap and excess.
This six-panel liner has a Power Man chamois that's optimized for medium to long rides. Its anatomical shape and seamless construction supports without pressure, while the microfiber material ensures rapid drying and wicking properties. A wide, elastic waistband comfortably distributes compression that, in conjunction with gripper hems, holds the liner in position.
As rugged as they are light, the Alp-X's outer shell's nylon and elastane blend is designed for the demands of off-road riding. The panels are cut to promote the fabrics natural stretch for unrestricted movement, and its elastic waistband features double fasteners to ensure a secure fit. There are two front pockets for essentials, and reflective elements provide added safety on low-light pavement sections.
The Gore Bike Ware Alp-X Plus Shorts come in Graphite Grey/Black or Black, and sizes Small through XX-Large.
- Removable liner with Contest Pro Men's insert
- Wind- and spray-resistant crotch, center-back panels
- Wear-resistant seat reinforcement
- Zippered mesh vents at front
- Side zippered pocket
- Flatlock seams

Watch a video of Peggy Pico sharing her experiences at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.
In the often unforgiving world of television news, most reporters would have dreaded facing November 14, 2011. That was the first time KPBS Health and Science reporter Peggy Pico went on air without her signature chestnut mane.
She was bald. And it was beautiful.
"I sort of felt like Buddha in a dress," cracked Pico on her Facebook page. Humor has helped Pico through various crises as a reporter and as a registered nurse. Now it would have to sustain her through a very public battle with breast cancer.
"I shared my journey because I wanted to make it less daunting for others," said Pico, who produced a four-part series about breast cancer while being treated.
Pico during cancer treatment
Diagnosed in May 2011, she jumped instantly into reporter mode, researching the latest approaches, studies and treatments. UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center's Comprehensive Breast Health Center—and its physicians, including Drs. Anne Wallace, Sarah Blair and Teresa Helsten—provided her the foundation upon which to build.
"They were able to tell me exactly what kind of tumor I had and which kind of treatment would work best, specifically for me. "They gave me tools to live fully while being treated for cancer. People are living with cancer."
In addition to her "phenomenal" clinical team, Pico turned to psychiatrist, Dr. Wayne Bardwell, for emotional support. "I tell people it's like having a personal trainer for your mind," said Pico. Among other things, Bardwell and his team at Patient and Family Support Service keep patients actively engaged in their treatment, focused and moving forward.
For Pico, "forward" was the only option. She followed the debut of her bald head with the February on-air debut of her short, sassy, silver shag.
Pico with Dr. Teresa Helsten
"My brown hair turned white due to the chemo," she documented on Facebook. "This is my hipster look. I think I'll change my name to Pico Bond, as in 007!"
And why not? After all, now, both Bond and Pico have looked death in the face, and laughed.

Unitary groups are very important objects in the setting of Langland's Conjecture because of the existence of Shimura Variety ( which I don't know) and also because people know how to attach a galois representation to a automorphic representation of unitary groups in almost all cases (By the work of Taylor, Harris and many others)(Which also I don't know).
I was trying to learn about unitary groups attached to $(k,E,D,*)$ where say $k$ is a totally real field,$E$ CM field of deg 2 over $k$, $D$ is a central simple algebra of rank $n^2$ over E, and $\*$ $k$ algebra anti-involution of 2nd kind on $D$ (i.e. coinciding with the action of non-trivial element of $Gal(E/k)$ on $E$).
But I could not really find a reference for this. Essentially some authors define it a inner form of a particular quasi-split unitary group, and some authors define it as functor of points. Also it is commented that there is some sort of Global-Local patching going on. Can any one give me a reference where unitary groups is covered in some what details rather than a overview in 2 pages?

I believe fashion is aspirational. It addresses the notion that society is always evolving and satisfies a need for people to participate in whatever it is that is current – and sometimes even transforming.
How do you describe your style?
Frenetic and somewhat random – much like me. I like that I don't think too much about what I put on in the morning, or where it lands in the evening. My fashion security comes from years of giving things to Goodwill. I'm confident in and content with what remains.
What are your favorite pieces?
I tend to gravitate toward most anything in my closet that is ETRO or classic Gucci. My standby favorite is a 25-year-old Princeton sweatshirt. My most coveted piece is a long white raw wool coat with a green silk lining and a thick fox collar that I picked up in Sienna, Italy; that a) I've never worn, and b) that I couldn't even get buttoned.
Where is your favorite place to shop?
Having recently moved back from L.A., I haven't yet determined what shops locally satisfy my style, though I traditionally go for smaller shops with unique inventory. I'm a big fan of wearing things forever: my closet is full, and sorting through it can be as painful as a midnight madness sale at Barney's.
Who is your fashion icon?
Tom Ford. He drives his brand based on what appeals to who is often an extravagant consumer, but he never loses his commitment to sensibility or his perspective on style.
Some of the most fashionable people I know haven't augmented their wardrobes in years. I reference the late Laurice Samuels who wore vintage Burberry like it was retrieved yesterday from its Westminster showroom. "This old thing," she said, referencing the street-length tartan cape she selected for one rainy trip to Keeneland. "I can't recall when I got it," she said, "but I know it would cost a lot more today and not have near the stories."

Aged Greek Sandal and Latest sandal
Ancient Greek Sandal
The sandal is a type of christian shoes, which has been with us since ancient days, the staying fingers and additional parts of the foot shown. In Andalusia, Mexico and other Latin American places is also described as "flip-flop." In Chile they utter "chala". Other varieties of flip flops are the "flip flops", "sandalias" (Balearic origins, composed of a strip of skin on the jeep, and another one could be inserted either on the jeep or back heel) or louboutin, of Mexican beginning.

text: I decided to submit another lesson before lights out! In this long tutorial, you'll be learning "how to draw a realistic rose", step by step. I've probably got tons of roses on this site, it's kinda confusing! There's a cartoon rose featured in the DragoArt's Top 50, so if you're interested, check it out! This tut is basically long, realistic, and a bit more difficult for those novice artists out there. I've included some helpful tips that will aid on drawing roses a bit more realistically. Practicing in key, so is knowledge and resources. Always be on the lookout for researching on what you're drawing. To draw a rose in it's realistic form, you'll have to observe photographs of roses and how they're built. This drawing on the other hand, was drawn a bit more simpler for the artists that will have a bit of a hassle tackling this on. Anywho, I'm very tired and have to flee on! Thanks for viewing and enjoy learning to "draw realistic roses". Peace out everyone!

Social Media and the Bystander Effect – Francisco
"If you logged on to any of your social media accounts this past Monday you undoubtedly saw an outpouring of posts thanking our veterans for their sacrifice along with multiple links to the typhoon Haiyan disaster in the Philippines. As I scrolled through my feeds I started to wonder if the appearance of support was actually discouraging people from helping either group. How many people decided posting was enough? Have social media platforms become the ultimate example of the bystander effect where nobody does anything because they assume someone else will?"

I have a Canon XTi (EF-S lens mount). Can I get an adapter to mount a Pentax M42 lens? If so, do I lose any functionality?
You can use an adapter to mount a lot of lenses to a Canon EOS body, due to the short flange distance.
You will lose auto-focus, and the camera cannot set the aperture of the lens when taking the shot.
That means you will have to focus manually, and meter by stopping down.
Here's a good introduction to using non-EF mounts on modern Canon cameras.
As far as I'm aware, every M42 lens will fit an EF-S camera (i.e. one with a cropped sensor), but a few will not fit a full-frame camera like the 5D or 1Ds ranges because bits of the lens can catch on the (much larger) mirror as it flips up and/or down during an exposure.
Yes, using a M42 to EF adapter.
You will lose focus confirmation, unless you find an adapter that specifically supports it. BobAtkins.com has a good article about this. Also, the auto focus systems are incompatible, so you will only be able to use manual focus.
just to add to the answers - you'll loose all electrical connections from the body to the lens. so you will loose Automatic focus, but it'll be a manual focus lens anyway and automatic aperture control, but it'll be manual anyway.
Everything else (metering for example) will be fine.
not sure about it hitting the mirror on full frame bodies ? the adaptor will move the lens away from the body moving it away from the mirror ?
But I would expect to get vignetting on full frame, that the smaller APS sized sensor will avoid - I know I have 85mm russian lens on my 7D.

What are the most effective ways to power-level in Halo 4? I know that multiplayer and campaign counts towards the two "Rank up your Spartan-IV to SR-#" achievements ("Not Some Recruit Anymore" and "Movin' On Up"), but are there specific game types and missions that are more effective for ranking up fast than others? Does this change as my rank gets higher? Is there any penalty for maximizing experience gain?
The fastest way to gain experience depends on what you're best at.
For instance, if you can consistently place close to the top of the leaderboards in a multiplayer game mode, that's probably going to provide the best experience gains per unit time spent. Don't play a free-for-all game type if you're more of a team player, and vice versa.
Likewise, if you're terrible at multiplayer, you're almost certainly going to get better experience bonuses from Spartan Ops. If you're going to play Spartan Ops for XP, go for the Matchmaking version. You can only play the current episode (for now, at least) and you must play Heroic. However, episodes go by quite fast, there's no friendly fire, and you'll tend to end up with ~4-6k experience per op. I find this to trump any XP per time invested in any other mode. If you've got double XP tokens, this is the place to use them.
When it comes to "War Games" style multiplayer matchmaking, I find personally that the "unusual" team game types tend to net me more experience. Anything with a Wraith, a Warthog (if I have a good teammate), or an abundance of power weapons and I'll do well. If you don't play with a coordinated party, these might not be the best for you. I have friends who insist that team slayer is the fastest way (or SWAT, whenever that becomes a playlist...). For me, though, I'll lose a BR or DMR fight often enough that I tend to end up with a K/D of less than 1.
Do note that you'll gain an good chunk of experience just for finishing out a round in online matchmaking, so don't quit early if you can avoid it, even if the game is going poorly. This bonus is by design, to give incentives to people for not quitting early.
Another thing to pay attention to is the periodic challenges. You can see these by pressing Start on most of the menu screens (this menu is called the "Spartan Hub"). Select the Career pane, and then the Challenges button. There's big bonuses on offer for varying time periods in various game modes.
Keep these in mind when you're deciding what to play - the playlist and difficulty matter for some, but for others you can set the game to easy and play on a level/game type you know well and walk away with a sizeable gain in a short amount of time. Whenever I start to play, I'll check out these challenges and try to knock out the fast ones before I do whatever I'm really planning to do.
Just play infinity slayer, you get around 1000 EXP just for finishing the game then depending on how good you play you will get more.
Well, if you want fast games then Flood is probably the best. Each round lasts like 2 minutes and the game in total lasts about 6~8 minutes with the loading and everything. You get a free 1,000exp just for finishing the game and w/e extra points you get add on that. It's a little better than the longer game modes, but you will probably end up with a -K/D spread unless you have quite a few games under your belt.
Not to be a soda company shill, but Mountain Dew is running a Halo 4 double XP promotion. So if you like that stuff and you like Halo, that's one way you can power level.
Infinity slayer is good; I consistently get at least 10 kills per match with default weapons. On average I get 2500 exp per game. I played for 30 minutes and am at SR 9.
I'm SR 31 and get an average of 5500 exp per game and at least +15kd per game. I earn the most points in Koth.
I capped out experience twice - yesterday and today. The highest possible at this point in time for Halo 4 is SR 31.
agent86 provided a great answer - but just to add a response to the last part of your question there is a penalty of sorts for maximizing experience gain, in that there is a daily xp cap. When you hit this cap, commendations and challenges no longer award XP - so it can be kind of a bummer.
Also, another slight note that I'll add - get one or a few kills when playing Spartan Ops, even if you like to drive the vehicles and let a friend shoot. I managed to play an entire round as driver of the Gauss Hog, with zero deaths - and my reward was a measly 250 xp. Likely this is to prevent AFKers, but apparently their algo also punishes "wheelmen".
What I am doing is offline, but it's quick. Go to Forge and either mess around with it or leave it on. From what I have found from fooling around with Forge:
After 30 minutes, you'll need to save and quit to gain exp again.

me as very unexperienced game developer, I wondered how I could achieve something like re-winding the time in my game or jump back to a special moment (killcam) and replay it for the user.
The only way you can achieve this is if your game is completely deterministic. In mathematical terms, that means that if you have the function:
Then you can always get a value for
For every time
Now, this second method is obviously the best, but it's also the hardest. Because in a game, not everything can be broken down to functions:
Most likely you'll end up with a combination of the two: integration for bullet position and interpolated recordings for player positions.
