My daughter had gotten a bump on her head and I read online to ice it and give them a treat while you are icing their head to distract. I didn't do a treat because I didn't want her to think that to get something unique/fun, she had to hurt herself for it. Do you think I'm denying her comfort by not providing a treat? If so, what would be an appropriate treat for an injury?
While I very much doubt that it would lead to a child purposely self-inflicting an injury to get a treat, it's still a bad idea. For injuries that are not life threatening - try laughing at it. Laugh out loud. LOL. Obviously you can still show concern and care but if it's not life threatening, then what's the harm in teaching a skill to laugh at our clumsiness or unluckiness?
Our kids sometimes laugh and cry at the same time. And now they laugh at me when I get hurt. Even when I want to cry. It's better than swearing and seems to take the edge off of the pain. At a young age it can be a cognitive dissonance distractor. At an older age it severely limits the "woe is me" factor.
My wife just crashed during a bike race and busted 3 ribs. That was the only time laughing was hard. And it made it even funnier because all she could say was "Don't make me laugh! It hurts to laugh!" Which only made us laugh more.
First, to answer your question, you are not denying comfort and asking the right question. Indeed associating two behaviors may create unwanted results ("I will eat my green peas if you give me your funny face" at a reception is always a pleasure).
So you already answered: do the confort, it's your child after all; but dissociate both in the long run, it should rather not turn to a routine.
If it really hurts, it's another deal.
I've never once seen a young child intentionally hurt himself to get attention or a reward. Faking an injury is another matter, but that's usually easy to spot. My son even tried mimicking his sister's cerebral palsy symptoms a few times.
I think in the case of a head needing icing, the treat is intended to be more of a distraction than a comfort. You need them to stay relatively still for a while in an uncomfortable situation. There are other kinds of injuries where that's not the case. In those circumstances, although a treat wouldn't necessarily be harmful, I prefer emphasizing a method the child can use to comfort himself: taking deep breaths, shaking it off, finding something else to do, David's laughing it off idea, etc. Being dependent on something external for comfort makes it difficult in social circumstances where that thing isn't available, like a day care or a car ride for example.

Why is there no mention of the miracle of the candles burning for eight nights in Al Hanisim?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Somewhat related to Shalom's answer, the Lubavitcher Rebbe zt"l explains (Likkutei Sichos, vol. 25, pp. 235ff) that the miracle of the oil (a spiritual victory) overshadows the miracle of beating the Greek armies (a physical one) - because the latter was itself part of a larger spiritual war: they tried to make us "forget Your Torah and abandon the decrees of Your Will"; ordered the Jews to "write on the horn of an ox that you have no portion in the G-d of Israel"; etc.
So when we want to mention and describe the miracle of the military victory, we have to omit mention of the miracle of the oil. Conversely, when the Gemara explains מאי חנוכה, it mentions the victory only incidentally.
Al HaNisim was designed to be placed in the blessing of "Modim", in which we give thanks
The focus is on the "everyday" miracles that occur within the bounds of what we call nature. So Al HaNisim likewise focuses on the military victory, which wasn't (blatantly) supernatural.
(This isn't my answer; I heard it from someone contemporary whose name I sadly don't recall.)
A wonderful answer to this question us given in the sefer Tal Oros by Rabbi Yehudah Tuvia Guttentag (Tavyomi). The full text in English can be found here, but the following excerpt contains the essential points:

This a great tool for a woman to have. It is lightweight and easy to handle. It doesn't work well on tall,thick grasses and weeds. I purchased mine to weed around my flowers and it does a great job for that. The battery on mine only lasts approx. 45 minutes. If you have a lot to weed, you might want to invest in another battery or check and see if it would be just as cheap to purchase another trimmer - battery and all. I highly recommend this product.

One more important thing to know about the battery pack is that you should do the recharge just before doing your work. The charge seems to last 2-3 times longer if it is a fresh charge and has not been sitting for a few (or more) days. It makes a tremendous difference. (Posted on 10/15/2010)

First of all, I'm REALLY picky. I just received this, fully expecting it to be a piece of junk I'd have to return, but to my suprise this thing was a little powerhouse. I had some pretty thick and tall weeds in spots, a long row down the side of the fence and the area around my large dog pen. It went the distance, and I would say it lasted a good 20 minutes before needing a recharge. Best of all, no more procrastinating about pulling out the heavy orange extension cord. As long as you recharge the battery, just grab and go. It's strong, powerful, lightweight, easy to use, and cheap too. (Posted on 8/9/2010)

I ordered this WITH and extra battery and am glad I did. It runs pretty well for about 20-25 minutes and then slows considerably. This is true as long as you are trimming grass not more than about 4-5 inches high. This unit is extremely light-weight and pretty quiet, as advertised. It should not be expected to cut tall weeds as the short feed and small diameter of the line makes this unlikely. I still have to use a corded model for large jobs and/or thick weeds, but for regular clean-ups and short jobs, this is AOK and worth the $. Easy to assemble, too. (Posted on 7/1/2010)

I'm a wheel chair bound individual. When I took the trimmer out of the box I was a little apprehensive. The string was small and I didn't think it would do the job but I WAS SURE WRONG. Battery charge lasted close to an hour or more which was plenty of time to do my fairly large yard. No easy task when I was using a gas trimmer. Didn't have the hassle of getting it started and the string actually extends when you lightly bump it on the ground. Excellent purchase -- I had bought a second battery which I didn't really need to do. I plsn to get the hedge trimmer next. And no, I don't work for Tornado!! PS I bought a second roll of string at Home Depot but I'm still using what came on the trimmer and I'v had it for two months. (Posted on 6/26/2010)

I've recently been getting into the hobby of Geocaching. However, I'm finding there are many, particularly in cities, that I just cannot find no matter how hard I look for them. They tend to be very small, and often have camouflage of some kind. What tips can you offer to help me improve my rate of finding them?
Read the cache page closely. There may be hints in other places as well as the obvious encrypted hint - the cache description, title, and previous logs may all pose clues that would help you on your search. I tend to try without first but if I'm really stuck I'll read all I can to try and give me a bit more of an idea.
Bear in mind that the co-ordinates are often only rough. I've found a couple of caches where the co-ordinates have been 60m off! Bear in mind that you'll have the inaccuracy of the original person who grabbed the co-ordinates as well as the same of your own GPS, so in places with poor coverage it could be wildly out. If the place your GPS guides you to doesn't make sense, don't necessarily stick to that one spot, walk around, but...
Don't scout randomly, use a methodical route. All too often people make the mistakes of walking around randomly and coming back to the same couple of places, missing the more subtle place that they would have found otherwise... I tend to check the obvious places first and then cover the area more thoroughly.
Look up. People often look down and all around them for clues, but I've seen people really struggle to find caches in plain sight if they're above head height! Equally, look up for clues as well - I hid a cache with the clue "underneath 3 cables" (those cables being cables in plain sight running about 20 foot in the air) and you'd be surprised how many people looked for ages because they didn't get the clue!
Bounce ideas off someone else. If you don't understand the clue, ask someone else if they have any ideas. Sometimes something you've been pondering over for hours can jump out near instantly to someone else! One particular clue was "CND", and the cache site was a few fence posts roughly in the shape of the corresponding flag. Being too young, I had no idea what "CND" meant at all - my parents were right on it however!
Remember that caches can be all sorts of objects. They're not always just the obvious tin - I easily found one recently that was a (toy) frog, and many people had missed it on the assumption that just couldn't be it.
Know when to give up. Seriously, if you can't find it having searched around for a couple of hours and the previous 6 logs were all DNFs (did not find), there's a very good chance it's no longer there. Leave a note and ask the cache owner to have a look if they aren't already.
Remember to mark a waypoint for your car. Not strictly to do with finding them, but especially if it's a cache that involves wandering around and you're not exactly sure where you are, mark a waypoint for where you started / parked / know where you are. Takes all of 2 seconds and could save you wandering around lost for hours.
Overall though the best way to find them is practice - the more you end up finding the better you'll get at it and the more spots you'll notice that you wouldn't have otherwise. When I first started I was spending a long time finding most of them, now it's usually pretty quick!
I've only been geocaching since June 2010 but only in the last few months did I finally figure out what to look for and my count has soared. Now I'm in the process of placing my first hide. It takes practice. At first, all I did was tag along behind veteran cacher pinkdolphin, my mentor and friend in NC, who has logged almost 10K finds. I could never figure out how she could just walk right up to it, while I remained poking around stupid leaf piles :P It was very frustrating. However, I followed a few pointers which I now pass on:
Remember to have fun, enjoy the chase and being out of doors, and good luck to you!
Purple Abacus in MN
First, pick the location you think it closest to the mark, based on the GPS. Then, walk in an outward spiral, looking at any place that someone would be likely to hide a geocache. Think like a person who is hiding it. Where would you put it? Don't forget to look up. Maybe it's at eye level or above.
If you wander around randomly, you'll end up walking over the same places over and over. If you force yourself into a pattern, you'll see things you would not otherwise.
In cities, an issue with geocaching is the accuracy of the GPS - you need to assume a greater margin for error than when you are in the open countryside as tall buildings do affect the signal.
As @xpda says, some sort of regular search pattern may be required, and be aware that geocaches may be hidden out of reach of average passers-by to avoid them being discovered accidentally, so don't just look between ground and eye-level. Also look above you, and at the ground - are there loose stones, gratings etc?
Look for patterns: if several caches have been placed by one owner, what kinds of containers are being used; are similar hiding places being used.
Logs: look at photos - the person may be blocking the actual hiding place, but the background may be a clue; if the cache container is shown, you know its size, shape, and color. Also, log may state, "have seen this type of cache/hide used recently".
A flashlight has helped, even in daytime, to see a shape (such as a smooth, round top) or a color that doesn't fit with natural surroundings.

The penalty case stems from the September 2010 explosion of a high-pressure natural-gas pipeline owned by Pacific Gas and Electric Co, which cut through a residential neighborhood in San Bruno. The rupture caused a massive fireball that killed eight people and injured 58 others.
By CASSANDRA SWEET and REBECCA SMITH
Pipeline safety officials are calling for a stiffer
punishment of PG&E Corp. for its role in a lethal pipeline
explosion in San Bruno, Calif., in 2010.
A new proposal, issued Tuesday by staff lawyers for the
California Public Utilities Commission, asks the agency's
commissioners to levy a $300 million fine and additional
penalties topping $1.9 billion.
The plan replaces an earlier proposal that ordered the
utility to pay the same amount but included no fine, which
analysts said lowered the company's costs on an after-tax
basis. The new plan also limits the amount of money that
PG&E has already spent on pipeline upgrades that it can
count toward paying the penalties.
The company has already put aside $200 million to cover a
fine; the commission still is months away from reaching a final
The penalty case stems from the September 2010 explosion of
a high-pressure natural-gas pipeline owned by Pacific Gas and
Electric Co, which cut through a residential neighborhood in
San Bruno.
The rupture caused a massive fireball that killed eight people,
injured 58 others, and damaged or destroyed more than 100
homes. It was one of the largest pipeline disasters in US
history, and reconstruction of the neighborhood is
Federal and state investigators determined that PG&E was
to blame for the pipeline rupture, following separate
investigations that revealed a pattern of neglect, including
lost or incomplete pipeline records, shoddy welding of the
pipeline that ruptured, and inadequate safety testing.
The call for harsher punishment shows that hard-liners at
the regulatory agency prevailed in an internal dispute, among
investigators and lawyers, concerning the appropriate
The initial penalty proposal favored by Jack Hagan, the head
of the utility commission's investigative division, would have
allowed the utility to get credit for some prior spending. That
proposal did not include any outright fines.
A team of lawyers at the commission, led by 31-year veteran
Harvey Morris, said the proposed punishment was far too
lenient. As a result of the disagreement, the team of lawyers
was temporarily removed from the case. City leaders from San
Bruno sided with the ousted lawyers and said they, too, wanted
harsher punishment and explicit fines.
The legal team was restored to the case in late June and
soon notified a hearing judge that it would file a new penalty
recommendation in the case.
San Bruno city officials still are calling for $3.85 billion in
penalties, including a $900 million fine and increased spending
on pipeline improvements, City Manager Connie Jackson said.
City officials also have asked the federal Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to strip California
regulators of responsibility for enforcing federal pipeline
safety laws. PHMSA, which in most states delegates those duties
to utility regulators, told the city on Monday that it would
audit California's inspection and enforcement program.

The death of another, young black man, Michael Brown of Ferguson, Missouri, at the hands of yet another white cop makes me pray even louder for Jesus Christ to return to this earth and take his children home. Racism and bigotry in the hearts of white Americans is hot, fiery, alive and doing quite well in America. Since I'm a Baby Boomer and a member of the African-American community, I feel that I know something about being black in white America.
Black is only cool if you're Jay-Z, Ms. B, Oprah, Michael Jordan, Tyra Banks, or any hot, black celebrity out there. But the facts are the majority of us black folks are hated and despised by a vast group of haters just because of the color of our skin. God's word states that he made man in His image, not the white man, black man, brown, yellow or red man's image.
Slavery was the worst institution in the history of this nation, but too many white folks still want to hold on to their narrow-minded views that they're superior and teach that madness to their children, generation after generation, that black men are animals, drug dealers and pimps and that they can't be trusted, they're liars, thieves, rapists and violent thugs.
Underemployment and the unemployed in the black community can run as high as 30 to 50 percent and I hope that white America can understand why these young men constantly experience a sense of hopelessness and despair.
Black-on-black crimes are a horrible burden on the black community as a whole because major businesses don't want to set up shop in their neighborhoods.
I earned my master's degree in education from Bridgewater State University. I have this Gaelic sounding name and employers are so impressed with my resume, education and employment experience. But there were times when my black, bold, beautiful self showed up for these interviews and the employers' mouth dropped and our meeting was short and not so sweet.
The city of Taunton has well over 1,600 employees and I can count on two hands the number of blacks employed in this city, and this includes Hispanics and Cape Verdeans. It is 2014, folks. when will the leaders of our municipal government diversify city departments?
Taunton and surrounding towns were slave-holding communities. I've lived at my family's Shores Street home since December 1971 and there were times when my Mom and I would be outside doing yard work and white folks would be driving by the house and ask us if they could speak to the owner. Now, I stare at these people like they're crazy, but I know that they see me as just another smart mouth n_____ when I ignore their inquiries.
Page 2 of 2 - Once I leave the confines of my home, anything could happen to me. I know, because I've had my fair share of beatings and DWBs (driving while black) from white police officers, and I am a black woman.

How much of classical mechanics can be modelled with solitons?
What I am aware of is that single solitons behave in a way like free particles: they move along as stable entities with constant velocity. But:
- Can solitons interact with an external field?
- Can solitons collide?
- Can solitons interact with each other by general (central) forces?
That means: Are there PDEs with solutions that can be interpreted as
- a particle in an external field
- two colliding particles
- two generically interacting particles
obeying appropriate laws of classical mechanics?
How would the mass/momentum of a soliton come into play?
Pointers to references would be very welcome!

What are the primary stats for a holy paladin in World of Warcraft? Do the stats for leveling differ from those used for end-game?
Note that this has been edited to reflect the changes in Cataclysm / The Shattering, so the stat weighing is not final and a proper raid-balance of stats is not concrete.
Int provides you with spellpower and a larger mana pool, so it is naturally a strong stat.
Haste is also important, as it allows you to cast your spells faster, and to an extent, reduces the GCD (which makes a difference for instant cast spells). You get a good amount of haste passively through talents though (9% through Judgements of the Pure, 3% through Blazing Light, plus flat cast reductions on certain spells).
Crit is always nice to have, and it synnergizes nicely with some talents (Crit Holy Shocks reduce cast time on HL / DL, for example).
Mastery (at 80 and beyond) gives your heals a bonus shield equal to a % of the heal amount on your target. Shield effects have always been quite effective, and this more or less gives you a permanent Valan'yr effect to work with. I can see this being a very popular mastery, however we'll have to see how well it scales further on.
Spirit is now the go-to stat for mana regen as of The Shattering, and will continue to be so throughout Cataclysm. There may be a FEW items / enchants out there that provide MP5, but for the most part you're looking for spirit for your regen needs. It still remains to be seen just how much spirit is going to be needed to sustain throughout hardmode fights (especially with the ability to Judge Seal of Insight AND Divine Plea as decent mana regen abilities), but regardless, Spirit is the new regen stat.
As for leveling, just worry about Int, Crit, and to a lesser degree, Haste. Early on and leveling, a lot of healing will be done with Holy Shock and Word of Glory, which are both instant. Haste wont play a big role until later when you need to utilize your Flash of Light/Holy Light/Divine Light spells a bit more.
Some people have been very busy since 4.0.1 has gone live, and I ran across some information today that I thought was really helpful. In priority order:
Yes Intellect is the biggest, then spell power, then crit, then haste. During hard raids, you want a constant stream of heals going out, so sometimes it's better to have haste than spell power.... Heals per second (HPS) should be around 5k+ at level 80 ICC raids. MP5 ratings (Mana per 5 seconds) are going to be superseded soon (if not already).
Healbot is a good addon as it lets you point and click players to heal in a nice little box and shows you who needs heals.
Intellect by far is the best stat. Haste and Spell Crit are good secondary stats to stack.
I have a Holy Paladin and I am lvl 85. The best way to stack your stats are as follows INT>SPIRIT>HASTE>CRIT>MASTERY
Intellect is more that just mana pool now its a do it all caster stat so it is number one. Spirit helps you keep a lot more mana for the tight spots and helps refill faster after one of these, this is your second most important stat overall. Haste is the third most important stat because it decreases cooldown and increase cast time. Makes you way better healer if its your #3 stat. Lastly Crit for procs like holy shock, and mastery.
Gems to use are the 20+INT 20+ Spirit purple gem, 40+ Int red gem, and 20+INT 20+ Haste orange gem.
This is what most people I play with agree with. My pally has been healing great since I started stacking the right stats.
I've recently swapped my paladin (lvl 80, 3.7k gs) from ret to holy, and the advice I've been given by guildies is to stack int, and then haste.
I've started gemming and enchanting for int and seen a significant improvement.
Elitist Jerks says Intellect is by far the best stat.

Juan Chen and Nikhil Swamy, two researchers at the Research in Software Engineering group, present FINE, a new programming language for .NET.
Software systems are governed by increasingly complex security policies. Ensuring that a system properly enforces its policy is hard. FINE is a new programming language (similar to F#) whose type system can be used to check that rich, stateful authorization and information flow policies are properly enforced. FINE is compiled to DCIL, a new minimal extension of .NET CIL. Our compiler carries type information throughout and allows DCIL programs to be verified independently for security.
In this video, Juan an Nikhil give the big picture and a shiny demo of FINE.
The Research in Software Engineering team (RiSE) coordinates Microsoft's research in Software Engineering in Redmond, USA.
Oops, something didn't work.
Sounds interesting -- will watch later ...
The type of
fread looks a bit like a dependent type. Since the third type depends on the
value of the first argument. Although, since
u is only used in the predicate part of the "type", that might not be true.
Is FINE depedently typed?
Yes, Fine is dependently typed. In fact, we have dependent refinements: types like {x:t | phi}, where the formula phi is a type that can contain values from the term language. We also have value indexed types like cred < u > in the example of fread from the video, where u is a value. And, we also have affine types which allow us to model stateful programs. Incidentally, we chose the name "Fine" in part because of the afFINE and reFINEment typing constructs.
Check out our papers at research.microsoft.com/fine for more details.

Rep. Steve Nunn apologized to his constituents for the current budget crisis during part of his comments at a legislative review session on Monday.
"Let me close by apologizing to you as a state representative, and as a member of the General Assembly for our failure to pass a budget. Because I'm embarrassed by it, and I'm frustrated and very concerned about where we're going in Kentucky," Nunn said.
A 14-year veteran of the General Assembly and son of the late Gov. Louie B. Nunn, Rep. Nunn called for new leadership in the House and Senate to end what he called "the most rancorous and acrimonious session" in recent memory.
Nunn's comments came before a crowd of business and civic leaders and fellow legislators at the Barren River Area Development District Conference Center.
Other local legislators also admitted disappointment at failing to reach a budget compromise, but highlighted other legislation that did pass both chambers.
House Speaker Jody Richards (D)-Bowling Green is calling for a special session to reach a budget compromise, a plan local Republicans say they would support as long as the negotiations take place before a special session (that would cost taxpayers $50,000 a day) is convened.
Lawmakers have until July 1 to pass a budget, or Governor Fletcher would be forced to enact a limited spending plan.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Often I experience extreme tiredness or stomach aches when I need to work on a project that I don't want to work on. Sometimes just walking into the same floor where work is waiting causes those symptoms.
I rationally understand what must be done, but it's like my emotional body disagrees with my reason. I am confident that it is mostly psychosomatic and not actually some sort of disease, because if I switch to a more enjoyable project, often the symptoms go away.
How can I convince part of my mind that is causing those symptoms? Are there any mental tricks?

I have a list of temperature levels (0 - 30 degrees) in different parts of a city. I would like to visualize the different temperature levels in the different parts of the city. Hot places should be displayed in red and cold ones blue. If the user zoom out he will get the avarage temperature color of the city and if zoomed in he will get the average color of the temperate color of that place.
I think that what I need is referred to as heatmaps. Is that the correct?
I am not too expert in visualization techniques and would appreciate explanatory pseudocode to illustrate the internal workings and main building blocks for heatmap algorithms, and how I could handle the zooming.

Jefferson Park, the sixth largest park in the city, offers unparalleled views of the Duwamish River, the city and the Olympic Mountains. The Olmsted inspired path system flanked by trees offers a wonderful respite from city life along with many active opportunities. The covering of the reservoirs and two voter-approved Park levies transformed the park into a great community gathering place for southeast Seattle. It is the home to the Jefferson Park Golf Course, the Jefferson Community Center, Jefferson Lawn Bowling, Jefferson Skatepark and Beacon Mountain.Acreage: 45.2
Since the first days of the park in the early 20th century, several diverse elements have called this site home. The City of Seattle purchased the State school land in 1898 for a reservoir and cemetery that were later sited elsewhere. In 1908, the City named the park to honor the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson.
The Jefferson Park Golf Course, Seattle�s oldest municipal golf course, opened for play in 1915. The area occupied by the golf course and adjacent park was part of the original Seattle park master plan developed by the Olmsted brothers in 1903, and the golf course and the park roadway on the west side were built as planned. Other features of the master plan west of Beacon Avenue were not implemented (source: Seattle Parks and Recreation Historic Resource Plan, 2004).
The Jefferson Community Center was originally constructed in 1929. An addition was built in 1949, and in 1972 the center was remodeled and expanded. In 2012 Parks completed seismic and electrical upgrades. The building now operates as an official emergency shelter.
The northwest portion of the park site was transferred to the Water Department in 1935 for construction of a reservoir. The unused portion of the Water Department site was developed into a playground by permit with Seattle Parks and Recreation.
There is lawn bowling green in the southwest corner of the park. Constructed in 1944, it has been operated by the Jefferson Park Lawn Bowling Club under an agreement with Seattle Parks since 1945.
In the late 1990s early 2000s, with substantial community participation and in collaboration with Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle City Light, Seattle Department of Transportation, the Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs and the Department of Neighborhoods. Parks undertook planning and design for park improvements. Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) decommissioned the north reservoir and reconstructed the south reservoir as a buried reservoir with a hard cover.
The 2000 Pro Parks Levy provided funding for improvements to the park. The new play area and tennis courts opened in 2010. Parks removed construction fencing from around the lidded reservoir in 2011. This area now provides opportunities for scheduled ball sports including cricket, soccer, and ultimate Frisbee.
The 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy funded additional improvements including the Jefferson Park Skatepark completed in January 2012. The features of the skatepark include a deep bowl alongside shallower bowls, a shallow hexagonal elevated dish, and streetscape features.
In July 2012, the community celebrated the opening of more park amenities at the Jefferson Jubilee. These amenities include:
Beacon Mountain, a community initiated project intended to be an ecologically oriented playscape. The Mountain is envisioned as a climbable collection of slopes and boulders with on-grade slides and a spraypark sprinkler for summer cooling and fun.
Solar Picnic Shelters with solar panels rooftops were constructed by Seattle City Light. One location is adjacent to Beacon Mountain, and the other adjacent to the sportsmeadow/lid. The solar energy feeds into Seattle City Light's electric grid. As with all grid-tied energy sources, the electrons will be used by the nearest load (meaning it will help power the park's lights, and possibly the community center). Essentially, this means less energy from traditional sources brought in to meet the local demand. See how much energy is being created at this moment at Seattle City Light's Jefferson Park Solar Monitor page.
Jefferson Park Playfield is another park component funded by the Parks and Green Spaces Levy. The renovation includes a synthetic turf field with lighting.
During the 1920s, Japanese-American residents used the park for picnics and related leisure activities. The opening celebration in July 2012 for the park marked the 100th anniversary of the gift of cherry blossom trees from the people of Japan to the people of the United States. Planted in Washington, D.C. in 1912, these cherry blossom trees have become a symbol of the warm relationship between Japan and the US. The Seattle Cherry Blossom & Japanese Cultural Festival Committee donated 25 cherry trees to be planted at Jefferson Park.

WASHINGTON, DC - Three 49ers scored in double-figures but the Charlotte 49ers (16-4, A-10: 4-2) lost on the road at George Washington (10-9, A-10: 4-2), 82-54.
"We learned a good lesson today," Charlotte coach Alan Major said. "You have to give George Washington credit they did a great job from the opening tip. They sped us up and we did not handle it. We have to go back home and regroup and get ready for next Saturday's game with Massachusetts."
DeMario Mayfield recorded his 14th double-figure scoring game of the season with a team-high 17 points. Chris Braswell, who recorded his 11th double-figure scoring game of the season, and Pierria Henry, who tallied his ninth double-figure scoring game, scored 11 points apiece.
Willie Clayton and Mayfield each grabbed eight rebounds to lead the 49ers.
Mayfield scored the game's first basket. Then, George Washington scored the next seven points.
George Washington took their largest lead of the first half when Patricio Garino knocked down a three at the 10:55 mark of the first half giving George Washington a 20-7 lead.
Charlotte outscored George Washington 20-15 over the final ten minutes of the first half cutting George Washington halftime lead to 35-27 when E. Victor Nickerson knocked down a three with eight seconds on the clock.
In the second half, Charlotte would get as close as eight points on several occasions. At the 14:19 mark, Charlotte trailed 43-35. However, that would be as close as the 49ers would get as George Washington outscored the 49ers 18-10 over the next six minutes taking a 61-45 lead.The 49ers return to action when they play Massachusetts in Charlotte's homecoming game in Halton Arena, Saturday, February 2 at 2 pm.

That's the problem, I upgraded my Ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10 yesterday. I've read lots of articles where is said that "the new Spread is so cool" and stuff, but I can't see it properly. For example, it should look like this:
But instead, what I see is this:
As you can see, there are some differences, for example, I can't see the "ghost new window option".
So, is there a way to fix this? May be upgrade some package, or something, I don't know...

"What happens if we set the lobbying variable to zero for all senators? That is, suppose that the health care insurance industry were prohibited from making political contributions?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
One proof goes like this: Suppose you have a list of all $\dbinom {n}{k-1}$ ways to choose $k-1$ objects out of $n$. Then we add an $(n+1)^\text{th}$ object to those from which we can choose. How do we make a list of all $\dbinom{n+1}{k}$ ways to choose $k$ out of these $n+1$? Here's how: first make a list of all ways to choose $k$ out of the original $n$ objects. That's a partial list. All of its items exclude the "new" object. It has $\dbinom nk$ items. Then take the list you already had, of all ways to pick $k-1$ out of those $n$. To each item on the list, giving $k-1$ objects, you add the "new" object, getting a set of $k$ of the $n+1$. That's another partial list. All of its items include the "new" object. It has $\dbinom{n}{k-1}$ items.
Now just add the two partial lists together: the list of those that exclude the "new" object—there are $\dbinom nk$ of those—and the list of those that include the "new" object—there are $\dbinom{n}{k-1}$ of those.
I'll just be completely unimaginative here:
$$\eqalign{{n\choose k}+{n\choose k-1}&= {n!\over (n-k)!k!}+ {n!\over (n-(k-1))! (k-1)!}\cr &={n!\over (n-k)!k!}+ {n!\over (n-k+1)! (k-1)!}\cr &={(n-k+1)n!\over(n-k+1) (n-k)!k!}+ {n!k\over (n-k+1)! (k-1)! k}\cr &={(n-k+1)n! + n!k\over (n-k+1)! k!}\cr &={n\cdot n !-kn!+n!+n!k\over (n-k+1)! k!}\cr &={n\cdot n ! +n! \over (n-k+1)! k!}\cr &={n!(n+1) \over (n-k+1)! k!}\cr &={(n+1)! \over( (n+1)-k)! k!}\cr &={n+1\choose k}. }$$
The identity is true by vacuity, because that's how my teacher defines a binomial coefficient. [Actually, one needs to append the base conditions to that for a complete definition.]
On a serious note, please define the notation that you use. As I demonstrated just now, an otherwise interesting question could become trivial for such mundane reasons as differing definitions or conventions.

This issue brief examines Asian labor migration to the Middle East—a region distinguished by its major dependence on migrant workers, the overwhelming majority from Asia. The author focuses on the role of private recruiting agencies as key facilitators of temporary labor migration and perpetrators of exploitative practices.
This report summarizes the economic and social development policy achievements of Central American countries over the past 20 years, as well as the notable obstacles to development that remain. The author identifies long-term challenges and outlines how they can be incorporated into a new development agenda.
The 2012 Global Diaspora Forum challenged diaspora communities to forge partnerships with the private sector, civil society, and public institutions in order to make their engagements with their countries of origin or ancestry effective, scalable, and sustainable.
This brief provides a background on the displacement and evacuation of migrant workers caught in the Libyan civil war. It highlights questions raised as a result of this crisis regarding the response of the international community, discusses lessons learned from the Libyan experience, and identifies policy recommendations for addressing the protection needs of labor migrants during humanitarian crises.
This brief outlines the key policy challenges governments and other stakeholders face in addressing the health needs of Asian labor migrants. It highlights the obstacles migrant workers face in accessing health facilities and services at various stages of migration, before proposing five key steps for translating the growing interest in migrant health issues to visible changes on the ground.

In only two days, Musikfest will begin in Bethlehem, PA.
Billed as the "nation's largest free, non-gated music festival," Musikfest – put on by ArtsQuest, a non-profit organization that celebrates arts and culture – boasts an extensive lineup of acts performing for free, including Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds (video), Royal Southern Brotherhood (video), and Scott Pine and the Conifers (video) among many others.
In the past, people who attended Musikfest commemorated the experience with a stein purchase. For only $69.99, people were offered the opportunity to own a piece of music memorabilia, manufactured in Germany, that could be passed down through the generations.
Instead, according to former ArtsQuest employee Rebecca Stoneback, those steins were actually made in China!
If you can't trust the music-festival vendor selling you a beer stein for $70, who can you really trust?
Stoneback has now filed two lawsuits against ArtsQuest in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Allentown) in connection with this alleged deception and her firing (5:12-cv-03286-MMB & 5:12-cv-03287-JKG).
Here in the library, we have a trial subscription to Bloomberg Law, which makes docket searching a breeze. So, if you want to read up on the suit, or just have a demonstration of how to do that research, contact the Reference Desk (web form or (904) 680-7612) and we'd be happy to help you.
Tip o' the hat to Alanna Byrne at Inside Counsel, Strange Lawsuits, from July 25, 2012 for spreading the word about the Stein Scam.

Never mind that I have enough projects to keep myself busy at the Kiaski castle in my spare time.
I decided the other day to clean two side-by-side junk drawers in my mother's kitchen island.
In the family history, these have been his-and-her junk drawers. The one on the left was dad's stuff, manly men things such as tools and twine and other assorted oddities; the other one mom's, a collection of things deemed unfit to be anywhere but where they were.
And yes, before I get any further into this, I have a junk drawer at my own home that warrants attention, but hey, I'd rather "fix" someone else's life instead of repairing my own.
My motives for cleaning mom's junk drawers run parallel to what inspires me to tackle my own from time to time.
There comes a point in the frustration level when you know it's time to tidy one. In my case several factors come into play.
This includes when I can't find a pen with a drop of honest to God ink left in it, and I'm on about the 11th pen trying my best to find one.
The scribble paper next to me, however, is minus any proof that such a writing implement exists. It is testimony to the fact that such pens and the trashcan are long overdue for a get-together.
Of course, we never dare discard an inkless pen so I suppose this explains the accumulation. We must think we'll need these for something, sometime, somewhere, what I don't know. Some major pen recycling movement or self defense. Who knows.
There comes a point in my frustration level, too, when I can't find an emery board in the junk drawer that has one grain of grit left on it to do one little scratchy nail any bit of good, but there are at least 20 or more of these emery boards in varying stages of decay and just as smooth as silk. Wonderfully worthless.
They, too, need a date with the landfill.
And the final straw is when the opening and closing of the junk drawer stuffed to capacity becomes an aerobic exercise that does not release happy endorphins.
Ready, begin!
Better Half joined me on this mission, the manly drawer for him, the useless emery board and ink pen reservoir for yours truly.
All of the rubber bands, twisty thingees and paper clips I will ever need in my lifetime were in the junk drawer.
Not to mention radish seeds, keys to nothing, nine pairs of scissors, a gazillion useless batteries and a partridge in a pear tree.
OK. I'm kidding about the partridge but not about all the pencils of varying lengths and with questionable reserves of lead. Or unopened mail addressed personally to "current occupant."
There were pieces of things that were important to something somewhere somehow so they got a rubbish reprieve.
In the end, the junk drawers were lined with fresh contact paper, ready to refill for the future.
What an achievement to organize someone else's life and stay blissfully out of order in your own.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The title is incomprehensible and the question is more about interrupt configuration than about C programming, despite what the tags may suggest.
Your question was a bit unclear, had a poor title, and was mistagged. It was probably seen mostly by C people (who saw mentions of hardware and thought it was an electronics question, I suspect) rather than by embedded people. As far as I can tell, you're asking about how to use a chip from software that you're writing; this is perfectly on-topic on Stack Overflow.
I've edited the question a bit and voted to reopen. Unfortunately, having had the question closed gives it a -1 penalty that won't be undone even if the question is reopened.
Questions on Stack Overflow are expected to generally relate to programming or software development in some way, within the scope defined in the faq.
What kind of questions can I ask here?
The one who downvoted you thinks that your question does not fit the above format.Don't you?
Think of it this way: downvoting is Stack Overflow's way of welcoming new users. You'll be downvoted until you play by "the rules".
So, welcome to SO :)

ContentPanel scrolling problems
i have a Window instance with a BorderLayout. a ContenPanel is nested with its CENTER section, and its scrolling is set to AUTO. that ContentPanel contains a few fields like a Radio, a TextField and a simple grid. during the window resizing, i encroached onto those fields from the bottom and left to see how the scroll settings behave. when i encroached from the left, the horizontal scroll bar appears correctly. however, that is not the case when the encroachment is from the bottom, as the vertical scroll bar never appears. i tried to place all sorts of widgets at the bottom of the form. yet they just disappear at the bottom during resizing, and there is no way to scroll to them.

Since its birth, video gaming has undergone an incredible evolution, from simple sprites and a ghost-eating Pac-Man to today' domination of home consoles. After all that time, any gamer who' worth their weight in rupees will remember (fondly, or otherwise) some once-common sights that went the way of the Virtual GameBoy, never to be seen or heard from again. CRACKED recalls some video-game staples of yesteryear, and admits that, in the end, there are still more of them kicking around than we'd like.
Acid, Spike and/or Lava Pits
Who Made it Famous: Joust, Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, Kid Chameleon, Doom, Quake
In a world where you basically move in two directions-left or, if you're feeling really adventurous, right-there' not a lot that can fuck up your day more than a pit full of pointy and/or bubbling, white-hot hazards. From spikes to acid to a simple abyss (lazy programmers), pits have often plagued the weary gamer and forced too many long jumps.
Of all these random pit-based death traps, the king of deathly hollows has to be the lava pit-especially when made complete with fireballs that pop up so precisely on rhythm, they make Old Faithful look sloppy. Of course, in actuality even being near a pit of lava would cook you alive. But, in a universe where men mounted on giant birds joust one another for golden eggs, being near a lava pit-even one that cooks you alive-is the least of your worries.
Enemies and Power-Ups That Make No Fucking Sense Whatsoever
Who Made it Famous: Q*Bert, Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot, Kirby
Whether they're collecting mushrooms and feathers to kill turtles or rings and emeralds to kill a fat doctor, classic video-game characters have always been subjected to tracking down and collecting the most useless, random objects to defeat the most existentially absurd foes imaginable.
Let' put it this way: We have ready access to both fruit and pills. Does this protect us from ghosts? Recent experience suggests otherwise. Thanks a lot, Pac-Man-you omnivorous yellow disc.
Although, to be fair, our turtle, Boxy, did get pretty sick when he got into our mushrooms.
Long, Unintelligible Passwords
Who Made it Famous: Kid Icarus, Paperboy, Castlevania, Prince of Persia, King' Bounty, Starflight
Although now a standard feature, the "Save Point" was once a luxury, not a right. In the Dark Ages of NES, gamers were forced to break out chisels and tablets in order to etch long, complex passwords just to avoid starting their games over when their moms invariably unplugged the system to use the vacuum cleaner. A note to developers of the Sega Genesis game King' Bounty, which featured a 64-character password input screen: Kids play games to avoid reading and writing, not practice.
Villains Who Follow a Predictable Pattern
Who Made it Famous: Mega Man, Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, StarFox, Bomberman, The Legend of Zelda, Super Metroid, Castlevania
You're walking down a dark alley when suddenly a masked man jumps out from behind a dumpster, scowling with a knife drawn. He shouts something unnecessarily dramatic, like, "You're dead meat!" He then proceeds to take two steps toward you, swing his knife, take two steps back, charge and repeat this pattern to infinity.
Not that frightening, is it? Especially once you recognize the weak spot flashing in red on his chest. Hit that three times-no more, no less-and he' guaranteed to collapse in a heap before exploding or flash red and white while fading out of existence.
Spinning Blades/Falling Blocks
Who Made it Famous: Super Mario Bros., Duke Nukem, Pitfall!, Gauntlet, Tomb Raider, Mega Man, Double Dragon
Game villains must have no interest in ever leaving their various lairs and/or hideouts, because the sheer number of spinning blades, falling blocks and other torture devices crammed into every conceivable corner renders them all horrible deathtraps. It' a wonder Bowser can find his way past the Whomps and rotary knives to go to the bathroom, let alone oversee his military operations outside the castle (not to mention having to deal with the multitudes of work-related injury claims from his Koopa staff).
Who Made it Famous: Pac-Man, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Asteroids, 1942, Road Rash, Mortal Kombat
Admittedly, the high score had some theoretical relevance when the arcade still ruled supreme. How else could you prove that "POO" was better at Street Fighter than "ASS?" That meaningless string of numbers represented your opportunity to engage in condoned public vulgarity, and for an 11-year-old strung out on PixyStix and Sunkist, there' not much sweeter.
Fast forward to GTA 3, and the number of points you've accumulated by yourself in your living room is a lot less satisfying than keeping track of how many hookers you've paid, had sex with, run over and gotten your money back from.
