$30 for a not very good knife? here is a decent deal on a not very good knife that won't break the bank-$5 at amazon shipping yada yada: http://www.amazon.com/Lockback-Surgical-Stainless-Durable-LeymarTM/dp/B000O8YKIG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1355813326&sr=8-3&keywords=maxam+knives
or just save up a little and buy a Spyderco
I bought the larger one a month or so ago off of Woot and would recommend this knife. Though I think I paid about $25 for it. Its nice and sharp out of the box and seems to be well built.
I bought one from main woot last time its a pretty good knife. The large is bigger than I thought it would be. The scales are a hard plastic but extremely grippy. They are cast over steel liners on both sides of the blade with a steel stop pin to hold the blade from overtravel. A heck of a lot stronger than cheaper all plastic handles. The blade is very sharp out of the box, not a razor but close. The shape looks funky at first but in using it the belly of the blade is usefull for more delicate work. My only complaint is the locking mechanism is quite stiff out of the box and takes a few days of playing with to smooth out.
@videowallart: First, Cold Steel makes great knives. Second, the knife you linked to is made from 420 stainless steel which is the lowest grade knife material and is really just for budget knives hence the retail of $7. The Cold Steel is an AUS8 which is a pretty high quality blade material.
My big gripe with this blade is the unusual S-blade shape which is probably why it's not the big seller on the retail market and why it's here.
Specifically this is the Cold Steel Voyager Vaquero. It does have good reviews on Amazon and it looks like it uses AUS-8 steel for the blade. On the plain edge one commenter mentioned that he had issues resharpening it, as if the grind was unusual in some way. One other thing I noticed is that the clip screws appear to only go into the handle material rather than through it and into the bolster. Not sure how that will hold up over the long term for an EDC. In for one anyway just to see.
@bowlingb: The recurve portion is difficult to sharpen with most sharpening stones. That's why a lot of "knife guys" don't like recurves... a pain to sharpen. I love recurves, however, and made an excellent system for my Wicked Edge that allows me to sharpen them easily.
I have this knife. It's a very good, inexpensive knife, but I can see how some would be put off by the strange blade shape. The Tri-Ad® lock and grivory handles are both very tough and can handle abuse and edc use. Cold Steel's AUS8 heat treat is excellent and the blade takes an edge easily.

How good is the integration of the Telligent Evolution Platform in SharePoint? I need some reviews.
I'm guessing that Telligent Evolution Platform is similiar in purpose to WSS / SharePoint Foundation - in that they're both an software system for data storage and presentation (Gooing by Community Server which is written on top of Evolution Platform).
It depends what you need from Telligent that you want integrating in SharePoint - if you want data stored in Telligent to be surfaced in SharePoint then this can be done with BCS.
Telligent runs on ASP.NET, so any ASP.NET Web Parts written in managed code for SharePoint may be able to run in Telligent (with many exceptions of course, for considerations like CAS, Object Model access, etc).
Do you have a current environment build on Telligent Evolution that you want to surface in SharePoint or do you plan to migrate the environment over to SharePoint?
Hey Alex, like James mentioned above, there are several different integration methods between Telligent Evolution and Microsoft SharePoint. Telligent can provide integration with Microsoft SharePoint through its platform. The Telligent Evolution platform provides a web services API (REST-based) allowing organizations to integrate with any open application, including Microsoft SharePoint and other document management systems. Due to the unique needs of each organization, it does require some integration work.
With Telligent Evolution 2.5, Telligent can provide an Integration Software Development Kit (SDK) with source code that supports Microsoft SharePoint 2007, allowing you to extend web parts, document synchronization, and search. The SDK provides source code for a set of Microsoft SharePoint Web Parts to help you pull functionality into Microsoft SharePoint, including friend lists, group lists, activity streams, status messages, forums, blogs, etc. You can also connect media galleries with your document library. As files change within Microsoft SharePoint, community participants see the latest version as well as the version history, enabling document management without disrupting the users' experience. All documents are stored in Microsoft SharePoint, so when you add a document to Telligent Evolution, it automatically gets stored in Microsoft SharePoint.
Beyond document synchronization, you can integrate Microsoft SharePoint functionality (version 2007 or 2010) into the Telligent experience with iFrame widgets. You can enable a Microsoft SharePoint calendar or task list within your community.
Specifically for developers, the Telligent Evolution Developer SDK gives organizations a deeper view into the Telligent Evolution platform APIs. The developer SDK enables organizations to explore the Telligent Evolution platform and create more tailored solutions to solve specific challenges. Hope this helps, I know this is quite a bit of information.

The Waltham-based Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR) reported that while home prices continued to increase in February, closed sales were down from the same time last year.
Condominium sales and prices were both up in February.
"Even with the continued increase in home values, sellers are taking longer than normal to enter the market so far in 2014," said 2014 MAR President Peter Ruffini, regional vice president at Jack Conway & Co. in Norwell. "The winter here hasn't deterred buyers, but the lack of homes for sale over the past several months resulted in a drop in closed sales in February."
There were 2,084 detached single-family homes sold this February, which was down 5.9 percent from the 2,215 homes sold the same time last year. On a month-to-month basis, home sales were down 25 percent from 2,725 homes sold this past January. This is the seventh straight month-to-month decrease. A drop in single-family closed sales from January to February is typical, according to MAR.
The median selling price for a single-family home in February was $294,950, which was up 7.3 percent from $275,000 in February 2013. This is the 17th straight monthly year-over-year increase. On a month-to-month basis, the February median selling price was down 7.8 percent from $320,000 in January.
There were 903 condominiums sold this past February, an increase of 1 percent from the 894 condos sold the same time last year. Year-over-year sales of condominiums have gone up 25 out of the last 26 months. On a month-to-month basis, condominium sales were down 17 percent from 1,058 condominiums sold this past January.
The median selling price for condominiums in February was $283,000, which was up 9.1 percent from the $259,450 median price in February 2013. This is the ninth straight year-over-year increase. On a month-to-month basis, the February median selling price was down 5.7 percent from $300,500 in January.
The inventory of single-family homes as of Feb. 28, 2014, decreased 18.9 percent from February 2013 (15,739 listings in 2014 from 19,402 listings in 2013), which translates into 3.7 months of supply in February 2014. This is down from five months of supply last year and down from 3.9 months in January. This was the 24th straight month of inventory decreases.
The number of new listings added to the market of single-family homes in February increased 4.3 percent over the same time last year (4,742 new listings in 2014 from 4,547 in 2013).
The inventory of condominiums on the market in February was down 27 percent compared to the year before (4,407 listings in 2014 from 6,047 listings in 2013), which translates into 2.5 months of supply, which is down from 3.9 months in February 2013 and down from 2.6 months in January, according to MAR.
The number of new listings added to the condominium market in February decreased 3.6 percent from February 2013 (1,861 new listings in 2014 from 1,930 listings in 2013).
Detached single-family homes stayed on the market an average of 122 days in February 2014 compared to an average of 141 days in February 2013. Condos stayed on the market an average of 96 days, down from an average of 122 days in February 2013. On a month-to-month basis, days on market for single-family homes was up from 110 days from January while condos were up from 92 days.

MCB Program III. Giselle

I can't wait to see the casting for Giselle. Last time MCB did it I saw Guerra and Kronenberg and enjoyed it very much. This time I am hoping for a Delgado Giselle!
I'm with you on this, BB. I'm dying to see her in the role, particularly her mad scene, which should be a total challenge for such overly bubbling personality. I must confess being a little partial to the clips I just posted. The steps are there, but there are little romantic details missing...a head/torso subtle tilt,,,some port de bras-(can we get rid once and for all of all those "spaguetty/twiggy arms", just as two different posters in two different threads called them...? )- or even that particular, stiffness that makes the lithographies-inspired romantic poses so beautiful and unique within the art form. Let's see...the clips are from some years ago. Maybe they've worked on those details.

Posted 17 February 2012 - 11:44 AM
Jeanette Delgado would also have been my choice for the most intriguing Giselle. With the proper coaching (something I don't know that MCB can provide) she could be astonishing -- in BOTH acts.
The oddest aspect of all the Miami casting is that Jeanette will be dancing on Opening night and Sunday, in Miami. .... as Myrthe.
I'm glad to see that Callie Manning will dance Myrthe as well. This won't be the first time in the history of this ballet that Myrthe has the potential to be the most fascinating dancer on stage. Can't wait for Act II.
There are three casts for Peasant Pdd. Tricia Albertson with Kleber Rebello; Jennifer Lauren with Shimon Ito. And Nathallia Arja with Kleber Rebllo. All fine dancers. My expectations have been raised most of all by the Arja/ Rebello pairing.
Casts for the Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Naples performances haven't been announced.
So what about Giselle? Speaking only for myself, it seems that companies like MCB have the resources and the will to present serviceable but never thrilling performances of this complex and iconic work -- very professional etch-a-sketch versions, one might say. (I feel the same about MCB's Don Q and non-Balanchine Coppelia. The Cranko R&J, well-coached, was an exception: something with the look and feel the work was actually suppose to have).
In past, Act I has always seemed weaker than Act II, with the weakest links having always been the tone-deaf performances of the aristocratic hunting party. (Peasants are easier to fake if you imagine them to have the same motivations and behaviors as the kids in a Judy Garland - Mickey Rooney picture, circa 1940s.)

STEUBENVILLE - From cleaning companies to tech services, the local business community is hoping to cash in on the shale boom.
"There are so many opportunities that are heading our way here in Eastern and Southeastern Ohio with Marcellus and Utica shale," said U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Marietta. "As business begins to come into the area, there are going to be requirements for information technology infrastructure to support that, beta centers, applications, web development, those kinds of things, and what these folks do here is a vital part of that infrastructure process."
Johnson said experts are predicting "thousands and thousands of new jobs over the next three or four years" will be coming to Steubenville alone.
"I think if you look at the companies coming here, they're going to have needs," said Ed Looman, executive director of Progress Alliance. "They're going to need tires for their huge trucks, they're going to need to have things fixed. The companies are going to need industrial supplies, they're going to need uniforms and laundry services and catering services. It's just a huge opportunity for local business to experience growth and benefit from this. And as we move forward, there are going to be opportunities for startups there are voids out there that we don't have, services they need that we don't have."
Looking to plug one of those voids is the Ridgefield Group, a Steubenville-based, full-service technology company. Founded in 1997, the company's senior staff sat down with Johnson on Tuesday to discuss information technology infrastructure development opportunities and the role they can play going forward.
"There are going to be requirements for information technologies infrastructure to support that (job growth)," Johnson said. "Beta centers, applications, web development, those kinds of things. What the Ridgefield folks do here is a vital part of that infrastructure process, so we're talking to them about how they can expend their horizons and how we can create like a technology consortium here in Eastern Ohio otherwise, you'd have to go to places like Pittsburgh or Columbus or Cincinatti, or maybe even Cleveland, to get to one. It's just a good opportunity."
Johnson, whose background is in information technologies, said as shale-driven opportunities manifest themselves, "there's going to be a need for information technology" that an established company like Ridgefield can capitalize on.
"Information technologies is one of the infrastructure needs that's going to be heavily required," he said.
Johnson said the session grew out of an awareness on Ridgefield's part of "what are their concerns from a small business perspective, what kinds of barriers do they see."
"Right now, you've got to go to (a bigger city) to be a member of a technology consortium," he said. "(We) talked about how they could start that kind of thing here."
And that, said Looman, is exactly what they want the local business community to do: Look at the oil and gas industry's needs and figure out how to fill them.
"I think the majority of our local businesses are trying to find ways to capitalize," Looman said. "There's a buzz, people want to know when it's coming, how soon will it be here. I think those questions will be answered as we move through 2012."

"It came with a rush; not as a rush of water nor of wind; but of a sudden evil-smelling emptiness. . ."
A flamboyant, hard-drinking, ruthless, and womanizing world adventurer comes face-to-face with the one antagonist he cannot conquer: his own ignoble and imminent death. . . .
Written in 1938, The Snows of Kilimanjaro is a classic distillation of the themes Ernest Hemingway obsessively explored throughout his writing career. When Harry, the central character, goes on safari to "work the fat off his mind," his ambitions are cut short when a terrible accident leaves him facing his ultimate death and weighing the meaning of his life. Hemingway's brilliant prose is given a penetrating and moving reading by Charlton Heston in an audio that only deepens in meaning with each listening.
About the Author
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was one of the twentieth century's most important novelists, as well as a brilliant short story writer and foreign correspondent. His body of work includes the novels A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Sun Also Rises. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his novella The Old Man and the Sea, and in 1954 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

The Mission of the Dakota Zoo
Most people come to Dakota Zoo for recreation. We intend to provide a fine environment for people to come and learn to appreciate what nature has to offer.
Just because people come to Dakota Zoo for recreation doesn't mean that they can't learn something while they are here. Teaching the public about the animals on display can promote more favorable attitudes toward wildlife and the facility itself. It has been shown that visitors are capable of and even willing to learn something during their "social outing". This is the duty of Dakota Zoo--to promote a good attitude and a certain responsibility to nature.
This area has become one of the most important purposes of zoos. Zoos contribute to the conservation effort by helping people become interested in animals. Zoos can play an important role in developing a responsible attitude towards nature. Many times zoos have and do contribute to saving a species from extinction. Breeding programs are being developed for many types of endangered species with the ultimate goal of reintroducing animals back into the wild once safe retreats are established for them.
The Dakota Zoo has been active the past several years in science projects which cover a whole range of areas and none of which do any harm to the animals which are on display.

I need to get hold of ArcMap properties in order to change the data source of the layers within it.
I have developed a similar utility earlier utilizing ICommand, but I was curious if I could get a reference to ArcMap application outside of it and change the layer sources and display the new map.
I am using the following code but it instantly launches ArcMap and after that I have no hold on the application i.e. if I terminate my application, ArcMap is still running in background.
Is it possible to get a silent, invisible reference to ArcMap?
IApplication pApp;
IDocument pDoc;
IMxDocument pMxDoc;
string MXDPath = "C:\\NORMALTEMPLATE\\OLD_Normal.mxd";
pDoc = new MxDocumentClass(); //ArcMap launches here
pApp = pDoc.Parent;

SnapSnapSnap March the Pats
Foxborough, Mass.
In the time it takes to read this sentence the New England Patriots could run two plays. That's an exaggeration. But the pace of Patriot play running this season is so furious that they're on the verge of breaking an NFL record.
The Patriots have run 1,116 plays this season, and if they run 84 in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins they will break the record for most plays from scrimmage in a season, a record currently held by the 1994 Patriots.
Setting a record is no sure thing. The Patriots have averaged 74.4 plays per game this season. But they've run as many as 92 plays in a game.
No other team has come close to their pace in 2012. They've run 102 more plays than the Denver Broncos—more than a full game's worth—and 214 more than the San Francisco 49ers.
This isn't some random statistic. New England has built an entire offense around one tactic: Not wasting time. Players hustle back back to the line of scrimmage. As soon as the team is set, quarterback Tom Brady calls for the snap. "I get on the line and do what he tells me to do," said Patriots tackle Nate Solder. "I have no idea how he does it."
More NFL Coverage
Of course, the no-huddle offense is a league-wide trend. But other no-huddle practitioners are dogging it compared with New England. The Patriots run no-huddle on 31.4% of their plays. By comparison, the Broncos run more than half their plays without a huddle. But what distinguishes the Patriots is how rarely they consume their full allotment of 40 seconds between plays. When the Broncos aren't in a hurry, quarterback Peyton Manning does everything but belt out a soliloquy from "The Merchant of Venice" before calling for the snap.
"We're snapping it with 28 seconds left on the play clock, and as such you can get three or four plays called in a minute," said Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who sometimes likes to mix quick snaps with slower ones. "There's not a lot of teams that, when you watch them, vary the pace of their offense. It's fairly consistent unless they are in a two-minute mode."
As a result, the Patriots have scored a league-best 529 points. They've even become too fast for technology: The radio technology that McDaniels uses to communicate with Brady goes silent once the ball is snapped, typically re-engaging about four seconds after the end of a play. At times, McDaniels is so eager to get the next play started that he inadvertently calls it in during that dead space, leaving Brady confused about what to run next. McDaniels will then have to push the button again. "There's obstacles to doing it too fast, certainly," McDaniels said with a laugh.
The Patriots' 10-seconds-or-less offense took hold during a spring training camp that multiple players called the toughest of their lives. It was designed to keep players in shape for the breakneck pace to come.
According to wide receiver Brandon Lloyd, the team enters the game with 100-plus plays in their arsenal. That is about 30 or 40 more than the typical offense in the NFL. From there, they have a fluid communication system that lets them know what they are running as quickly as possible. There is also a personnel advantage. Because the Patriots have two hulking tight ends who can catch and block, Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski, the team can seamlessly switch between running and throwing within the quick-snap no-huddle, requiring no change of players between snaps.
Anticipating what the Patriots will do next is difficult because there are only a "handful" of plays that the team repeats, even if they reach 90 snaps. In cases where a play is repeated, Lloyd said, the team will typically come up with new routes for receivers to run on the fly.
"It's almost like having four wide receivers out there. If you look at it on paper, it's two tight ends, two wide receivers, one running back. That is where our advantage lies," Lloyd said of the position flexibility in the quick offense. "We can put multiple position groups out there."
The offense has generated some stats that shock even the Patriots: After a game against San Francisco this month, an assistant coach informed Lloyd that the team lined up 96 times and that he lined up on 91 of them. (Plays involving penalties don't count, so snaps can outnumber official plays.)
The Patriots average of 74.4 plays per game is 10 more than the average NFL team. That, players say, represents 10 more opportunities for a long Brady touchdown pass. McDaniels likens the Patriot quest for more plays to the modern baseball strategist's distaste for sacrificing batters. Since teams get only 27 outs in a regulation nine-inning game, why give up a chance for a home run just to move a player to second? Likeswise, a 60-minute football game can be decided by a single long-yardage pass.
The Patriots average 5.8 yards per play when they huddle, compared with 5.6 yards in their hurry-up sets. That means the no-huddle may not carry much of an advantage on a given play—but over time the volume of plays wears out the opposing defense.
McDaniels believes that his fast offense hinders the effectiveness of both the pass-rush and run defense of Patriot opponents. His theory is that defenses practice defending the no-huddle much less than offenses practice running it. McDaniels thinks the quick-snap keeps opposing defenders from relaxing, since they must hustle back to the line of scrimmage in anticipation of the ball being snapped immediately—even when it isn't.
McDaniels doesn't care about breaking a record this weekend. His offense has led the Patriots to an 11-4 record and an AFC East title. His hope is that their fast play-calling will help bring the Patriots their fourth Super Bowl championship.

The official start of the holiday shopping season has become increasingly blurred over the past several years.
But there is no doubt it is under way with the coming and passing of Black Friday.
The hustle and bustle that surrounds the holiday shopping season means shoppers must practice common sense and have an awareness of their surroundings in order to make sure it is a safe shopping season.
It is supposed to be the happiest time of the year but thieves look for the opportunities the season brings. They prey on the easy targets.
Here are a few things to keep in mind so you don't become one of those targets.
One of the most basic safe holiday shopping tips is to avoid carrying large sums of cash. If you do have to carry cash, distribute the amount among several different pockets. Flashing a wad of bills is just asking for trouble.
Keep receipts separate from bags of gifts. Receipts can sometimes contain account information that can be used in identity theft.
Shop in a group. There is always safety in numbers. Also, try to leave the mall or store with a group of people, especially when it is dark.
Shop at malls or stores that you are familiar with and avoid dark hallways or corners.
Bring along a cell phone and make sure it is turned on.
Thieves also target vehicles loaded with holiday gifts.
Clear out all that junk in the trunk to make more room for gifts. Keep all doors locked in the vehicle. Thieves make it a practice to walk through parking lots checking door handles. Don't store valuable gifts in the backseat in plain view. It is only a temptation. Have vehicle keys in hand and ready to use. Many vehicle keychains have a panic button that will sound the car horn and flash the lights.
Don't laden yourself with an armful of packages. Ask for help from a store worker or even a security guard when walking to a vehicle in the lot. Park in well-lit areas as close to the store as possible.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department will have patrols around the Fort Steuben Mall and other shopping centers as part of its annual safe shopper program.
The holiday season is about sharing gifts. Don't give a thief an easy gift.
Be safe and smart while shopping.

I believe that any non-trivial idea will sooner or later find application in real life. However "sooner" is better than "later":)
If we look at famous open problems - e.g. Millennium Prize problems - there is no clear practical outcome from their solution (imho). (Well, P vs NP of course will be of greatest importance if one will produce quick algrorithm to solve all NP problems - but it seems it is not plausible).
Question what are open problems which solution will have some "real life" outcome in visible future ?
My answer. It might be not perfect from various sides, but still...
Problem Construction of short and effective error-correcting codes.
Background Recent advances in error-corrrecting codes are LDPC and turbo-codes - invented in 90-ies (more recent polar codes) produced codes which are highly effective for quite a long length of the codewords (thousands bits or may be even dozens thousands). These codes are widely used in practive, e.g. 3G-smart-phones use turbo-codes.
However such codes are not effective for short sequences of bits (dozens bits). That is why a problem.
Practical importance In cell networks not only data is transmitted, but various auxilliary information - e.g. acknowledge receipts (data has been received or not), various channel quality indicators (measuring how bad are propogation conditions). Amount of such data is not big - dozens of bits - so we need short codes. Up to recent times this was not considered as important issue, because it might be just 1% of data transmission. But with the advance of smartphones and "always on-line" feature this appears to be critical problem. Since "always on-line" means sending very often and very short amounts of data, but for each data transmission one needs to send also auxilliary information - so the amount of auxilliary information becomes comparable with data transmission.
Literature This problem is mentioned in influential article in telecommunication community "Is the PHY layer dead?" http://repositori.upf.edu/handle/10230/13026
("PHY(=physical) layer" - is a part where most mathematical-consuming algorithms were concentrated (e.g. error-correcting codes, statstical algorithms for signal estimation etc.)). So the title has a flavor "math is not useful for wireless telecom anymore?" (However now RM (Resource managament) layer is consuming math (from game theory to optimization) so we may not worry :).

lets say that i have an apache server running, and two network cards.
each card is connected to a different network.
C1 is connected to N1, which is an ADSL connection with the port 80 open (so i can reach my server from oustide my lan).
C2 is connected to N2, which is a [very fast] corporate network (no ports open or routes allowed).
how could my server take advantage of C2N2 bandwidth?
would forcing download on one network and upload on another help?
what about bonding (seen here: Two ethernet ports on motherboard. How can I get double the bandwidth?)? would it help?

Given an algebraic surface $S$ with action of a finite group $G$. Is it true that the invariant lattice $H^2(X,\mathbb{Z})^G$ is generated by elements pulled back from the $H^2(X/G,\mathbb{Z})$ (or $H^2(\widetilde{X/G},\mathbb{Z})$)? This seems true for some examples such as an Enriques surface, but I don't know this works for any algebraic surface $S$.
I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what condition we need if this is not true in general.

Looking for international Scholarships (Colombia)
Im a Computer Science student in the University of Los Andes in Bogota/Colombia. Is my dream to become a game developer, actually, to create my own developer company. I know, its a LONG road, specially for a guy with FEW opportunities (Literally, there arent ANY video game studies in Colombia...)
So I've searching. US is a great place to study. Full Sail, Digipen, Westwood College are just some examples. Its really exciting for me just to read the descriptions of those videogame related careers! but, well, I just dont have a lot of money...in other words, Im looking for an online degree (I just cant quit my current career). Still, most online degrees are quite expensives. I have tried EVERYTHING to get in touch with Full Sail, but those guys dont answer my calls, dont respond my emails etc...
Anyway, if theres anyone out there with the same situation as me, well we should get in touch, if not and you know something about scholarships of different schools, I'll appreciate the help a LOT!

Hi I'm an Art student in Puerto Rico; I know that has nothing to do with engineering, but I'm also in the same boat as you. I've also look into does colleges you mention and even thou I got an answer from Full Sail, I still can't pay that kind of money, specially when they raise tuitution every year.
So I've been looking around for different options and have ended up with some colleges that are still expensive but are a lot less expensive. UAD and 3dmx in Guadalajara, Mx.; Campus CTD in Ecuador; creaciodigital.upf.edu in Spain; and you can make a search in awn, in their school data base. Is really helpful.
About scholarships is kind of hard to get one in the states, and the ones that you can actually get are about 1,000 too 2,500 wish is nothing when tuitution is 53,000. But you can check out France, Germany, Finland and other European countries that offer free of charge master programs. Just got to go to their respective embassy to find out how it works and if you can apply. There was a website that when something like highereducationguide.info or .org; I can't seem to find it but maybe you'll have better luck, there it was explained.
Also there is a school in Argentina called Image Campus, is not a degree but it is specialize. I'm sorry if this ain't very helpful since I really don't know of any online degree that's less expensive and actually worth your money.
Even thou they don't offer much here is a link to 2 scholarships http://www.interactive.org/foundation/scholarships.asp.
I hope I was some kind of help, good luck!^^

Re: Looking for international Scholarships (Colombia)
I'm a Computer Science student on the 7th semester in the Central University of Venezuela and I'm the same dilema as you. I've looked into colleges you've mentioned and even got a call from Vancouver Film School but the cost are way to high from someone like me.
I wanted to know if someone have some info about scholarships or loans opportunities for international students in the U.S or Canada. Any info is appreciated!

The drag floating element does not have drag icon after first drag
I noticed that when I drag an element once, release it and then drag it again,
the icon showing if drop is allowed ('dropAllowed' or 'dropNotAllowed' cls) is
This can be viewed in the drag and drop from grid to grid example. In that
example, dragging one record causes this problem to happen for all the rows.
In my code, where I have many separate drag sources and drop targets, this
happens per drag source: dragging an element that is a drag source causes this
to happen for that element on the next drag, but other elements that haven't
been dragged yet do not show this.Yaron Yogev

I know that the sum of squares of binomial coefficients is just ${2n}\choose{n}$ but what is the closed expression for the sum ${n}\choose{0}$$^2$ - ${n}\choose{1}$$^2$ + ${n}\choose{2}$$^2$ + ... + $(-1)^n$${n}\choose{n}$$^2$
Thanks for any help.
I know that the sum of squares of binomial coefficients is just ${2n}\choose{n}$ but what is the closed expression for the sum ${n}\choose{0}$$^2$ - ${n}\choose{1}$$^2$ + ${n}\choose{2}$$^2$ + ... + $(-1)^n$${n}\choose{n}$$^2$
Thanks for any help.
$$(1+x)^n(1-x)^n=\left( \sum_{i=0}^n {n \choose i}x^i \right)\left( \sum_{i=0}^n {n \choose i}(-x)^i \right)$$
The coefficient of $x^n$ is $\sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose n-k}(-1)^k {n \choose k}$ which is exactly your sum.
On another hand:
$$(1+x)^n(1-x)^n=(1-x^2)^n=\left( \sum_{i=0}^n {n \choose i}(-1)^ix^{2i} \right)$$
Thus, he coefficient of $x^n$ is 0 if n odd or $(-1)^{\frac{n}2}{n \choose n/2}$ if $n$ is even.
$$ \sum_{m=0}^n (-1)^m{n \choose m}^2= (n!)^2\sum_{m=0}^n \frac{(-1)^m}{(m!)^2((n-m)!)^2} $$
This function feels hypergeometric, so we take the quotient of $c_{m+1}$ and $c_m$ where
after some simplification, confirming that this can be expressed in terms of a hypergeometric function. The previous result gives us the parameters of the function so we find $\sum_{m=0}^\infty c_m x^m = {_2}F_1(-n, -n; 1;-1)$.
$${_2}F_1(-n, -n; 1;-1)= \sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{((-n)_m)^2}{(1)_k} \frac{(-1)^k}{k!} = \sum_{m=0}^\infty (-1)^m{n \choose m}^2$$
Where $(x)_n=x(x+1)\cdots(x+n-1)=\frac{\Gamma(x+n)}{\Gamma(x)}$ is Pochhammer's symbol.
An identity for ${_2}F_1$ gives an elegant "closed form:"
$${_2}F_1(-n, -n; 1;-1)= \frac{2^{n} \sqrt{\pi} \Gamma(-n+n+1)}{\Gamma\left(\frac{1-n}{2}\right)\Gamma\left(\frac{-n}{2}+n+1\right)}= \frac{2^{n} \sqrt{\pi}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{1-n}{2}\right)\Gamma\left(\frac{n+2}{2}\right)} $$
Now, nothing that if $a$ is a positive integer, ${n \choose n+a}=0$, so
$$\sum_{m=0}^\infty (-1)^m{n \choose m}^2 = \sum_{m=0}^n (-1)^m{n \choose m}^2$$
and finally we get the answer
$$\sum_{m=0}^n (-1)^m{n \choose m}^2=\frac{2^{n} \sqrt{\pi}}{\Gamma\left(\frac{1-n}{2}\right)\Gamma\left(\frac{n+2}{2}\right)}$$
that holds for real numbers as well.
Here's a combinatorial proof.
Since $\binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k}$, we can rewrite the sum as $\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} \binom{n}{n-k} (-1)^k$. Then $\binom{n}{k} \binom{n}{n-k}$ can be thought of as counting ordered pairs $(A,B)$, each of which is a subset of $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$, such that $|A| = k$ and $|B| = n-k$. The sum, then, is taken over all such pairs such that $|A| + |B| = n$.
Given $(A,B)$, let $x$ denote the largest element in the symmetric difference $A \oplus B = (A - B) \cup (B - A)$. In other words, $x$ is the largest element that is in exactly one of the two sets. Then define $\phi$ to be the mapping that moves $x$ to the other set. The pairs $(A,B)$ and $\phi(A,B)$ have different signs, and $\phi(\phi(A,B)) = (A,B)$, so $(A,B)$ and $\phi(A,B)$ cancel each other out in the sum. (The function $\phi$ is what is known as a sign-reversing involution.)
So the value of the sum is determined by the number of pairs $(A,B)$ that do not cancel out. These are precisely those for which $\phi$ is not defined; in other words, those for which there is no largest $x$. But there can be no largest $x$ only in the case $A=B$. If $n$ is odd then the requirement $A + B = n$ means that we cannot have $A=B$, so in the odd case the sum is $0$. If $n$ is even then the number of pairs is just the number of subsets of $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$ of size $n/2$; i.e., $\binom{n}{n/2}$, and the parity is determined by whether $|A| = n/2$ is odd or even.
Thus we get $$\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k}^2 (-1)^k = \begin{cases} (-1)^{n/2} \binom{n}{n/2}, & n \text{ is even}; \\ 0, & n \text{ is odd}.\end{cases}$$

Accessing Services
Accessing Services
Westminster College provides equal access to higher education for academically qualified students with physical, learning, or psychiatric disabilities. Disability Services works with departments throughout the college to help ensure that programs and facilities are accessible to all members of the college community.
Eligibility for services is determined by the coordinator who conducts a comprehensive intake appointment with each student. Students who request program eligibility are asked to describe the nature and impact of the disability and prior use of accommodations (if any) to clarify how it may interact with living and learning on campus. Submitting relevant professional documentation is important and is used to confirm eligibility and support requests for accommodations, academic modifications, and/or other aids. Once eligibility is established, students meet with the program coordinator a minimum of once per semester to determine individualized accommodations.
More information regarding Disability Service's policies, procedures and guidelines for documentation is available on this website. Call the coordinator for an explanation of how and from whom to obtain relevant and current documentation.
Freshmen may benefit from reading Students with Disabilities Preparing for Postsecondary Education, Know Your Rights and Responsibilities, a U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights brochure designed to help students understand the transition from the IDEA (K-12) to the ADA, as amended. It is available at: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/transition.html
Transfer students NEED to check with the DS Program at their current institution to find out how to transfer disability documentation.

Nike ends contract with Lance Armstrong
|FILE - In this Aug. 22, 2010, file photo, cyclist Lance Armstrong greets fellow riders prior to the start of his Livestrong Challenge 10K ride for cancer in Blue Bell, Pa. Armstrong said Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012, he is stepping down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity so the group can focus on its mission instead of its founder's problems. The move came a week after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a massive report detailing allegations of widespread doping by Armstrong and his teams when he won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005. (AP Photo/Bradley C Bower, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — Nike is severing ties with famed cyclist Lance Armstrong, citing insurmountable evidence that he participated in doping and misled the company for more than a decade.
The clothing and footwear company said Wednesday that it was ending Armstrong's contract "with great sadness."
Nike Inc. said it will continue to support the initiatives of Livestrong, a cancer non-profit organization.
