Rodman's Next Stunt: North Korean Diplomacy
North Korea has played its nuclear and missile cards. The U.S. riposte: Dennis Rodman.
The NBA Hall-of-Famer is now testing his skills as a diplomat in Pyongyang.
The U.S. government, however, isn't involved. A senior administration official told the Associated Press that the State Department hasn't been contacted about this mission, which began with Rodman's landing in Pyongyang Tuesday, via Beijing.
Instead, it's the work of a media company called VICE, generating material for its weekly HBO series and seeking, it declared, to nudge the North Korean regime toward "openness and better relations with the outside world."
Rodman, along with three members of the Harlem Globetrotters, will offer a basketball camp for kids and play some community-based games, VICE said. "Additionally," the company said, "there may be a top-level scrimmage" attended by North Korean leader Kim Jong Eun.

Major Players for Miami
Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria continued to defend his team's off-season fire-sale on Tuesday. Specifically, Loria mentioned three of Miami's young players as proof that "it's not a Triple-A ballclub:" shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, second baseman Donovan Solano and catcher Rob Brantly. (He only referred to Brantly by name—he called Hechavarria and Solano "the shortstop" and "our second baseman," respectively.)
If you're wondering about Loria's analysis: Hechavarria, Solano and Brantly have combined for 4,959 minor-league at-bats. They have hit 44 total home runs—or the same number Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera hit in 622 major-league at-bats in 2012. Hechavarria and Solano both have career minor-league on-base percentages of .314, while Brantly's is .336.
It may be unfair to call the Marlins a Triple-A team, but maybe those weren't the best players to use as a sales pitch.

Is a player in checkers required to take a jump if one is available? What about a double or triple jump if that is available?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In short -- for tournaments, yes.
I never played with forced jumps as a kid, but my father-in-law always plays with forced jumps. So I did a little digging around, and this is what I found:
The American Checker Federation seems to be the only sanctioned checkers organization I could find. According to the American Checker Federation, rule #1.20 says
There are many different Checkers variants, but I believe most of them use a forced capture rule.
I've always had the same rules that this article does (Rule 9), if you can jump, you have to jump at least once, but you don't have to jump any more than that.
There are many variants of checkers/draughts, and for all of them (including the Checkers variant played predominantly in the English-speaking world), not only is jumping compulsory, it is also compulsory to keep jumping until all the jumps are completed. Quote from the American Checkers Federation's official rulebook:
However, the rules for selecting among multiple ways to jump differs from variant to variant. E.g. for International draughts, the sequence with the most jumped pieces has to be selected, and for Italian draughts there are even further tie-breaker rules depending on the number of kings that are being captured.

I have a number of svg files created in Inkscape. I would like to know if there is an utility where I can export all the svg files into multiple pdf/png files.
I have around 150 such svg files. The easier and most obvious way to do is to open each svg file in Inkscape and export it. But it is too time consuming.
I was wondering if I could do it with some utility/software. When we are at it, I would prefer a utility in Windows.

I have a project that requires me to control movement of SCARA robot using VC. I am a beginner in programming so I thought of using existing program as my reference. The SCARA robot that I am using is regarded as a valuable property of the department and must be operated with extra care. I cannot simply make a program out of nowhere to ensure no damage on the robot.
I find it difficult to understand the existing program and am overwhelmed with the long lines of coding. Unfortunately, the last person involved with the program already left and no one in my department has any experience with the program. Currently I am not getting the help that i really need.Hopefully someone can give me guidance on this project.

Pulse Necklace
A choker (tight necklace) which measures your heartbeat (pulse) and shows it to others via a set of LEDs. It may also optionally communicate the same info to the wearer via a vibrator. Although theoretically heart rate should be known via senses intrinsic to humans, in practice it is actually quite difficult to know, and I think there are many interesting social interactions that pulse-display could trigger.
Currently Eric Boyd and Chung-Hay are working on this device.
Design Thoughts
Generally all commercial ones a just little electrocardiogram units.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography :
"An electrocardiogram is obtained by measuring electrical potential between various points of the body using a biomedical instrumentation amplifier. A lead records the electrical signals of the heart from a particular combination of recording electrodes which are placed at specific points on the patient's body."
However, for this project I think the best solution may be optical. There is apparently a small change in the optical properties of your skin with your blood pressure, meaning that pulse can be observed by an optical sensor pressed against your skin. I have a working "pulse watch" which uses this principle.
Display: Initially, only to people other than the wearer, via a string of LEDs inside the choker. I imagine the pulsing centered on the LED in the center, and going out to all, then coming back in, similar to how some star trek (?) lights worked when the computer talked. There may also be a lone vibrator, which could be used to signal to the wearer a variety of things (like pulse, but also time or low battery etc). Although this is really stretching the definition of "display", the device might also log data for later retrieval via USB.
Armature: Choker, plus it is likely that it will have to have a pendant hanging from it, which would contain the circuit and battery. The vibrator might also be in the pendant. The hard part of the armature will be how to wire the LEDs in a "soft" way (no ribbon cables around our necks!). Also, the optical sensor will have to be held against the neck even while the neck moves, you breathe, etc - that might be tricky. We have experimented with conductive thread with crimp beads, but they are very difficult to use, and end up being more fragile than is really acceptable. We are presently investigating silk-screening conductive paint, and flexible PCBs are possible armature ideas.
Electronics: For prototype, arduino and probably a small op-amp circuit modeled on the circuit inside the watch. To make it wearable, we'll probably have to use an attiny or other similarly super small device.
Prior Art
I already have a set of chokers with surface mount LEDs inside (I've shown this at prior meetings during show and tell). I am unsure of how the LEDs are wired - it's possible that they are all controlled from the same wire, in which case the device will not be able to display as above, and instead will simply flash. I got the chokers from Rebeccas for only $2.15 each, so if they are suitable they make great kit components.
Reverse engineering the choker's flexible PCB:
Lights: 1-12, counted from the batteries (Only lights 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 are populated) Pins: 1-6, counted from the big ground of the batteries nearest the ribbon cable Schematic Reverse Engineer: Pin 1: V+ for all lights Pin 2: V- for 1, 3, 5 Pin 3: V- for 2, 4 Pin 4: V- for 6, 8 Pin 5: V- for 7, 9, 11 Pin 6: V- for 10, 12 Apparently the LEDs are very easy to fry, since both green and pink choker now have many non-functional LEDs
I've done some google searches, but I haven't been able to find anything like this. There are some pulse-sensing watches, for instance Chinavasion: Exercise Watch - pulse + calorie reader or see some reviews at Heart Rate Monitors. These devices almost universally have a small display, but I think a haptic solution could be greatly superior.
You can see in the image a small heart on the left side of the display. When it's sensing your pulse, this heart blinks with your pulse, which is super cool. The sensor is under my index finger on the right hand side. You need to just touch the sensor - if you press hard, that destroys the signals (presumably because the pressure makes it so your skin doesn't respond to the pressure of your blood and instead just responds to the pressure of your hold...)

Just some thoughts I had, but now it needs to be made Prior Art immediately (If you talk with the lanista of the Circus Maximus about a possible engagement, you need to be super careful that you, or your ideas, don't stay there inadvertently and get fed to the lions without you getting paid):
It would be ultra cool to wear a Technicolor Dreamcoat costume at Burning Man studded with a network of blinkenlights, where the blinking color patterns of your costume would give information about your heartbeat, blood chemistry, and more ...
On the Technicolor Dreamcoat, each blinkenlight is attached to its own microcontroller that, in turn, is also attached to an array of sensors (starting with an infrared LED and a sensor for heartbeat and pulse oximetry, but by no means ending there), and with the microcontrollers communicating with each other (and maybe wirelessly with other costumes or a Central Scrutinizer). A network of sensor studded processor nodes means that you have a lot of redundancy to separate the wheat (the signal[s] you're interested in) from the chaff (artefacts due to you moving around, external interference, or some wardrobe malfunction), and a lot of distributed processing power, so you don't really need quite as efficient algorithms as if you put all your processing power in one place - death of the big hunkin' DSP board by a thousand arduinos (yes, you'd have to come up with distributable algorithms, but I've heard rumors that all the web weenies who want to join the cloud computing bandwagon are already trying this, anyhow).
For starters (since I neither have the time nor the $$$ to afford really cool sensors and write complex programs), it would be nice to just have the microcontroller (or maybe CPLD or some such) nodes with the blinkenlights, talking to each other in such way that they play the Game of Life, would fit nicely into this years' Burning Man theme of "Evolution". In fact, I already bought two white jumpsuits, put some LEDs on order, and did some inquiries how to get stuff from DigiKey real fast. The missing bits are conductive thread or equivalent, and a way to build a lot of PCBs and program chips on them fast.
Of course, for more than one reason, a patient gown would be more suitable for such a kind of Technicolor Dreamcoat - cum - biosensor array - cum - distributed processing - cum - wireless Burning Man costume: The patient gown leaves the butt exposed.

Eat less, exercise more
Miracle diet apps' weight loss secrets revealed
|The use of diet apps can help you drop some pounds, with the help of tracking your food intake and exercise, plus peer support. (Rick Nease/Detroit Free Press/MCT)
At any rate, I don't need it. So it is with gratitude that I acknowledge a tip from a co-worker about an app called MyFitnessPal.
As of this writing, it's the top iPad app and No. 2 iPhone app in the health and fitness category on the Apple app store. It's one of many fitness and diet apps available for iOS and Android devices that are worth a look.
Many of these apps are designed to focus your attention on either food intake or exercise. Most include calorie counting, but MyFitnessPal and another app called Lose It do more than that by encouraging exercise, goal setting and peer support. With either, you can fine-tune your diet.
Based in San Francisco, MyFitnessPal has 30 million users and is available for iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows 7 as well as on the Web. Supported by advertising on Android and its website, but ad-free on the iOS app, it was developed by two brothers, Mike Lee, a veteran of Silicon Valley startups Palm, Handspring and Beyond.com, and AlbertLee, who has an MBA from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley.
I downloaded MyFitnessPal, logged on as "lowcalguy" and filled in a few details about myself and my fitness goals. I wanted to lose 5 pounds, but my eyes popped when the app set a goal of 1,380 calories a day to lose 1 pound per week. That's not a whole lot of calories, but there was a method to that madness. It spurred exercise.
Saturday morning, I plugged in my breakfast of two slices of La Brea wheat toast (160 calories) and a banana (105 calories) and went for a brisk walk.
Another app I like to use for hiking charted my 6-mile walk of 90 minutes over hilly terrain at around 4 miles per hour.
Returning to my car, I plugged my exercise into MyFitnessPal and my daily calorie allotment shot up to 1,575 calories. I'd burned 460 calories on my walk.
The message was clear: If I exercise more, I get to eat more.
If I'd wanted to share any or all of my information on Facebook or with a group of friends, I could invite them to join me. MyFitnessPal also connects with a variety of external body monitoring devices.
The app has 2.5 million food items in its database, and what isn't there you can try to find with a built-in barcode reader. My snack of raw almonds gets an appreciative "Great value!" It has most of the stuff I buy in grocery stores. My morning crumpet is there, at 90 calories. Normally I don't fret, but now, they're like a constraint on my food intake for the rest of the day.
Lose It, based in Boston, started as an iPhone app, added a website in 2010 and Android in 2011.
It claims users have shed 18 million pounds, and has been downloaded 13 million times. While both apps look alike, Lose It is more than just a pretty interface, said Charles Teague, Lose It's chief executive.
"We think of ourselves as a weight loss program, more like Weight Watchers," Teague said. "The app is an important part, technology is an important part, but on the whole we'd like to be evaluated on how well we help people lose weight."
With a paid subscription, introduced in October, you can plan future meals based on what you had to eat today, and set goals for vital signs like blood pressure, and for exercise and sleep. It has a barcode reader too. External monitoring devices like activity monitor Nike Fuel automatically connect to store readings in the app or on the Web.
So far, after a week using both apps, I've lost 1.5 pounds.
Teague said his approach boils down to tracking and peer support.
"When you see how easy it is to rack up 300 calories eating, and when you see how hard it is to lose them, you think, 'I'll skip that dessert tonight,'" he said.
It's true: I never knew a vending machine packet of smoked almonds contained 250 calories. It's now sitting in my desk drawer like a live grenade.

Republican Party no longer has room for moderates
Gordon White, Southbury I had been a registered Republican since we moved to Connecticut in 1973. From 1979 until 1989, I was proud to represent Southbury, as a Republican, on the Region 15 Board of Education. Back then (as now), I considered myself a moderate, and I believed in a strong two-party system. However, even then, the conservative wing of the party derisively referred to me as a "Rockefeller Republican."

Smithfield UMW
holds meeting
A program on "A Remembrance of Thanksgiving" and how the Pilgrims had to endure hardships, at times eating only five grains of corn for a meal, was planned by Lorrie Greene when the Smithfield United Methodist Women met in the church social room.
After seven weeks on the Mayflower, the women and children had to remain on the boat until shelter could be made, and there were several families living in cramped spaces for a time. Nearly half became ill and died that winter, but their encounter with Squanto, an Indian who spoke English, helped them during the planting season and taught them fishing, Greene explained.
For their first feast there were five grains of corn on their plate to symbolize the hard times they survived, although there was a big feast of home-grown foods and wild animals.
Virginia Young presided and addressed prayer needs.
A dime collection was conducted.
Green presented perfect attendance gifts to Ginny Young, Pauline Paso and Sarah Kusic. A $150 pledge was made to the Pledge for Missions and a $25 love offering was collected. Members approved giving money for two Thanksgiving baskets for Urban Mission Ministries and spent $10 for a UMW program book.
Attending the UMW Fall District Conference in Scio were Green, Sherry Matthews, Mildred Windmill and Coarsely Re.
In complying with the message of gifting to someone in need, members voted to give a cancer victim a $50 gift card for the holidays.
Greene expressed the need for all members to take a turn in the monthly programs and devotions which will resume March 18 after the winter hiatus. She presented Christmas cards explaining the story behind the candy cane being made in the shape of a J to symbolize the name of Jesus. The white was for His life, without blame and the red was for his blood, so pure and freely given, she said.
Waldman served as hostess.
Point Pleasant
Ladies Aide meets
The Point Pleasant Ladies Aide held a covered-dish dinner and meeting Nov. 14 at the Point Pleasant Methodist Church in New Cumberland with President Carolyn Allison presiding.
Louanne Huff said grace, and Allison lit the memory candle to remember members unable to attend because of illness, obligations or traveling. The tables were decorated in a Thanksgiving theme.
Huff read scripture on attitude and gratitude from Psalms 104 and asked members to express gratitude for those things for which they were thankful every day. A time of sharing followed.
Reports were given by Mick Gaffoli and Kathleen McDonald.
Patty Bruce and Ruth Fuller gave a report on delivering coats to local elementary schools, and Gaffoli read thank-you cards from the schools. Members donated hats and gloves to be distributed to the Salvation Army, New Manchester Elementary School, A.T. Allison Elementary School, Food Closet, Oak Glen High School and Oak Glen Middle School. Huff volunteered to distribute the items.
Roni Poling reminded members afghans are still available for $25 each. Those interested in purchasing one should contact Poling at (304) 564-5378.
The group donated a poinsettia to the church in memory of a deceased member, and members voted to make a donation to the Christ Tree, which are donations given in honor or memory of a loved one. The group also agreed to make a donation to the United Churches of Social Services.
Marian Caine reminded members they could purchase fudge from the United Methodist Men by contacting Tom Tate.
Linda Marsh, Poling, Carrie Graff and Marian Caine were hostesses.
The Dec. 12 meeting will be held at Patty Bruce's home, and members are asked to bring an item for the gift exchange.
Serve Others
Circle meets
The Serve Others Circle of King's Daughters and Sons met Nov. 20 at the YWCA for a noon luncheon meeting with five members attending.
Ruth Ann McLaughlin presided and led in opening ceremonies.
For devotions, Lucille Smith related how the cornucopia serves as a symbol of Thanksgiving and abundance. She displayed a ceramic cornucopia filled with fruit. Jo Ann Birney gave the blessing and served as hostess and program leader.
McLaughlin read the Ohio Branch Standards of Excellence Program. Each circle receives a special citation if it earns 150 points from October 2012 until September 2013. She also read a poem, "Make This Your Daily Prayer," by Helen Steiner Rice.
Donna Grimm and Smith gave reports. The circle collected money for Urban Mission Ministries and signed Thanksgiving cards for shut-ins.
Birney presented the program, recounting the history of King's Daughters and Sons, which was organized in 1916. She displayed old journals from different circles. Each member received a copy of "The Beginning of Our Order," compiled by Laura S. Goodhue.
The circle will meet Dec. 18 with McLaughlin serving as hostess and program leader.

Elayne, I love you! I've been in your periphery for many years and I have *never* seen or heard the faintest unpleasant whisper about you. That alone is admirable, but then you have to go and be a skilled, caring and intuitive facilitator for all us perverts. You've earned your wings ten times over!
If you are a body piercer or have just been curious as to what goes into getting a body piercing then this is the book for you. I was amazed at all the information that there is in this book. Elayne was able to break down each piercing individually and write about the correct placement, style and size jewelry for each. I feel one of the best parts of the book is when she talks about the risky piercings and why they can be dangerous. It just goes to show that just because a piercer offers this piercing doesn't mean that it should be one that you get. I look forward to reading the rest of the book and I know that it is one that I will be sharing with others.
I have heard horror stories that piercing someone cheeks can hit a wrong nerve on someone. I was wondering if that was true? I was taught that there is no danger in doing this piercing? Do you have a set measurement that you use on people as to make sure not to do any damage? I'm really uncomfortable performing any sort of piercing if there is a very big risk involved.
So I called my client back today and told her very nicely that I was no longer offering cheek piercings and explained to her why and even told her about the story in her book..... You know what her response was to this??? "Well do you know anyone else in the area that does them?" ??? WTF!!!!! Hello didn't I just tell you a horror story and explain to you WHAT can happen!!! uhhhhhhhhhh I just don't get people sometimes!!!
People get pierced for many reasons. The purpose of this survey is to ask about experiences with your genital piercing (s). For this study, body piercing, such as a genital piercing is defined as the insertion of sharp implements to create an opening for decorative ornaments such as jewelry. There are no anticipated risks to answering the questions. This nursing study can assist health care providers in giving advice to other people who have or are considering genital piercing. Your completion of the survey indicates your consent to participate in this study.
Note, some of these questions address some common myths about people with piercings. Please do not be offended. We are trying to obtain accurate information so these myths can be addressed. Please answer the questions honestly so we might have a good description of men with genital piercings.
Hi Elayne,
I have been thinking about your upcoming book release and the signing. How exciting! I have tried to imagine how I would feel in your shoes. I am so pleased for you and so proud for you.
As a businesswoman in this world which is not always kind, you have made big headway. I own a small company and know what a hard boss I have! You have really excelled in your career even before this book of course. I think you should give yourself a big pat on the back for your accomplishments!
This is starting to sound like cheerleading - lol! Anyway, I think it is great that you have new things going on in your life. I do plan to purchase your book and I am sure that I will learn so much from it.
Have a great time at the signing and at the piercing convention. It's the other side of the States for me so I will not be attending but I will be sending you good thoughts!
It would just be for a photoshoot. my boyfriend would be there for support and to make sure nothing goes wrong, but i am probably going to be doing it myself. he is very insistant that he doesn't want to "hurt me" even if i'm asking him to. it's for the lips on my face. i have been looking into suture kits. would that be best for the situation.
dear elayne:
i'm really interested in sewing my lips shut (ok i admit it, i'm a "freak") and i'm wondering what your opinion on what the best materials for doing this would be, and the best places to buy them. would a simple sewing needle and cotton thread really be my best bet? or a hollow needle and some tygon? thank you so much!!!
The easiest, safest, most effective piercing care product ever!
GREAT for healing and troubled piercings.

GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo's Ella Cline Shear School of Education has been reaccredited for seven years by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
The accreditation is for seven years at both the initial and advanced teacher preparation level. The decision indicates that the school meets rigorous standards in all categories set forth by the professional education community and assures the public that graduates have acquired knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to help all students learn. Geneseo's on-site review took place in the Fall of 2012.
"I am very pleased that our education programs have received full accreditation from NCATE," said Anjoo Sikka, Dean of the School of Education. "Professional educators have high regard for our students, who are deeply dedicated to the teaching profession with strong support from Geneseo's challenging liberal arts environment."
In 2012-13, the School of Education enrolled 826 undergraduate education majors in early childhood and childhood, childhood, childhood with special education, and adolescence education. The school offers graduate programs leading to professional certification in early childhood, multicultural education, literacy (B-12) and adolescence education. The school has 24 full- time and 6 part-time faculty members.
In their report, the NCATE team praised the School of Education for promoting a culture of collaboration and "can-do" spirit. Teacher candidates were recognized for their content expertise, their outstanding pedagogical knowledge and skills, and their deep and sustained commitment to volunteerism. Faculty members were praised for their scholarly work including recent publications and presentations at state, national, and international conferences and their dedication to the local educational community.
The accreditation team made three recommendations for improvement, including an area of enhancement in the assessment system, a more focused clinical experience for graduate multicultural education majors, and increased opportunities for students to work with diverse faculty members. In response to changes in professional licensure requirements and NCATE recommendations, School of Education faculty are participating in various initiatives to revise programs, including a new vision for teacher preparation at SUNY Geneseo.
"The value of having outside observers assess your program is the fresh insight they bring from their experiences," said Sikka. "We will employ that expertise to enhance our programs in preparing our students to be accomplished educators."
Founded in 1954, NCATE is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a specialized accrediting body for schools, colleges and departments of education. NCATE and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) have consolidated and are now transitioning into the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

Playing Hold'em poker and had a 10-J in hand, 9-Q-A on the table. Opponent held A-4 and won with a pair of A's. I thought I would win with the straight. Not so?
closed as off-topic by Radu Murzea♦, Toby Booth♦ Nov 16 '13 at 14:31
I don't know what a wheel of straight means, but not having a full straight of 5 cards in a row even 4 cards is worth nothing besides high Card. Your value was High Card A (which is on board already)
A straight means 5 Cards in a row, so you missed a 8 or a K.
He wins with pair of AA , that's correct.
A wheel or is the name for the low straight ( A-2-3-4-5 )
A steel wheel is the name for the lowest straight flush (A-2-3-4-5)
You didn't have a straight at all. You need 5 cards in a row for a straight and you had 9,10,J,Q. Without an 8 or a K to finish it you had nothing of worth.
It is clear that your opponent has A,A,Q,9,4 But you only have A,Q,J,10,9
You missed the straight by one card. If you got K instead of 9, it will be a straight and you might won

Why do we need Cities of Refuge when Moshiach comes if at that time there will be no more death?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The Lubavitcher Rebbe answers that we will need the Cities of Refuge for all the people who have killed inadvertently over the course of exile. They will need to go to the city of Refuge to protect themselves from the "blood redeemer" (Go'el Ha-dam). See there for the explanation of why the "blood redeemer" taking revenge is not incompatible with the Days of Moshiach.
AskMoses.com adds that at the beginning stages of the Messianic Era (see Shaloh mentioned here), before the Resurrection of the Dead, the Cohen Gadol can still die, thereby freeing the accidental murderers from the Cities of Refuge.
The Aruch Laner answers that natural death will no longer exists but if someone kills someone death will still happen.
The Chasam Sofer in Toras Moshe on Parshas Shoftim says that maybe you can answer that the Geirim (proselytes) that come to Klal Yisroel will not reach the level of death not affecting them, but will be only counted as Jews and therefore the Cities of refuge will be for them.
The Shnei Luchos Habris known to us by his acronym as the Shlah answers there are many different time periods after Moshiach comes, the city of refuge will be needed for the initial stages and only later will death disappear from the world.
The Meshech Chachmah answers that there are two ways Moshiach can come we bring him with our good deeds or time runs out and history runs its course and Hashem is forced to bring Moshiach even though we are undeserving. In the case we are undeserving the outcome will be as the Rambam says the World will continue as it is accustomed and Death will still happen and that is why the city of refuge will be needed if we get Moshiach by History runing its course.
As always, the simple answer is according to the Rambam, the times of Moshiach will have death too.
R' Aryeh Kaplan thus paskens (if I can use the term) that Moshiach (yes even ben Dovid) will die, too.

Our locations beyond the main portal campus in New York City include Accra, Ghana. Silver School of Social Work students regularly travel to Tanzania during their winter and summer breaks in order to work at the Tanzania Children's Rescue Center, a safe haven for children founded by an NYU undergraduate.
With an academic concentration in black cultural identity in North America at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, Lindsey Darnell saw the opportunity to apply what she was learning to a firsthand experience in Africa. While abroad at NYU in Ghana, Lindsey took a course called Documenting the African City, through which she and her group created a 15-minute documentary film on the topic of identity politics. They interviewed and filmed African Americans living in Ghana, Ghanaian professors and university students, and other local residents. Lindsey says, "Having the opportunity to document the ideas and perspectives of so many individuals was truly an eye-opening experience."
Since graduating, Lindsey returned to her hometown of New Orleans, where she became the archive and library assistant at the Amistad Research Center. Housed at Tulane University, it is the nation's largest independent archives of manuscripts, photographs, oral histories, books, periodicals, and works of art about the history of African Americans and other ethnic groups. Currently, Lindsey is the program coordinator at the Neighborhood Story Project, a nonprofit organization in partnership with the University of New Orleans. She works with writers to create documentary books about their communities using oral histories and photography. Lindsey says, "What I experienced in Ghana has influenced my professional decisions. Traveling and exploring in an unfamiliar place removed me from my comfort zone and therefore changed me. Learning about other people's cultures is now my comfort zone."

This might be a really elementary question, but I'm not sure what it means. I have a density function f(x). How do I sample a value from f? For known distributions there are functions in R which do it for you (e.g. runif, rnorm, etc.) but how do I generate a random number using my own density?
In the simple case that $X$ is a real valued random variable, the first thing I would reach for is the inverse-cdf method, especially since you have mentioned "runif" which gives draws from a uniform distribution.
There is a pretty extensive literature on ways to sample from a variety of distributions, with names like Gibbs sampling, Metropolis-Hastings, slice samplers, perfect samplers, etc. A Google search of any of these should bring up a wealth of info. Did you want something more specific?
I am not going to answer the philosophical question of "what does it mean", but for the practical question, there is the Ziggurat method of Marsaglia to generate a sample from your favorite distribution. Read all about it.
I suppose a definition of a random sample would be a sequence of numbers {$a_{n}$} such that, for any measurable set S we have $\sum_{1}^{n}\chi_{S}(a_{i})/n\rightarrow\mu(S)$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$, where $\mu(S):=\int_{S}f(y)dy$, with $f(y)$ your density.
How to generate such a sequence is another, much more involved question; there's the inverse CDF technique, various algorithms like Metropolis Hastings or Gibbs sampling (for higher dimensional densities), etc. etc.

Bob Goff is a New York Times best-selling author, human rights activist and inspirational speaker – and he will be on the Dakota Wesleyan University campus this spring.
Goff, the author of "Love Does," will be the featured speaker for the Mitchell Area Youth Night, as well as the Conference for Leadership, Innovation and Social Change.
The Mitchell Area Youth night will be held at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 9, in the Sherman Center. The conference will begin at 8:30 a.m., Thursday, in the Sherman Center. Both events are free and open to the public; however, the youth night is targeted toward youth and student ministries grades sixth through 12th-grade and their leaders from the surrounding areas, as well as college students.
Campus pastor Brandon Vetter anticipates Goff's presentation will not disappoint audiences.
"He is a man passionate about life and God. He is an infectious presenter who will challenge everyone present to live full lives in God no matter where they are," said Vetter, who has heard Goff speak before.
"Youth night is an awesome time for folks to get together across various denominational lines and simply worship in song and hear a great presenter or band," Vetter said. DWU is in a unique place to offer neutral ground as a university to bring churches together that might not have any other reason to do so otherwise. DWU has played an awesome role over the last few years bringing quality Christian speakers challenging everyone to a deeper faith."
Goff also founded Restore International, a nonprofit human rights organization in Uganda and India which works to pursue justice for the needy, including a case in Uganda where Restore International brought to trial more than 200 cases, some involving children who were jailed without trial, according to his website.
For more information about the event and presenter, contact Vetter at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information about the Conference for Leadership, Innovation and Social Change, click here.

Important Note
While I do understand that the DM is ostensibly God in his game. My GM does generally respect most things written in book.
I have a character who is connected with the Shadow Plane in a E6 D&D3.5 Pathfinder Hybrid game, and I was talking to my DM who said that nothing lives in the shadow plane. However, I am sure that that I've read about some creatures that are native to the Shadow Plane. In addition, I think there's a template to turn creatures into Shadow creatures.
- What things live in the shadow plane and where can I source them from the books.
- What is/are the template(s) for making a creature/character a shadow creature, or where can I find it/them?
I'd appreciate answers including page numbers for any referenced materials.
D&D 3.5 (No 3rd Party) + Pathfinder + E6
I would like to know of anything that is outside the scope of E6 however please note it as such because it will need extra special DM approval to use, as well as a good explanation as to why I should be allowed to use it.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the forum, it should allow me to shoot better. I bought my NN3 from France when it was just released but never had the time to really use it. I'm glad I kept it though! I knew I would put it to good use one day and enjoy it. By the way, I want to send my best regards to the guys who manufactured it and take good care of the forum and the website which are crystal clear.
Actually, I just need to know if the rail settings for a D200 with a nikkor 18-70 posted here are correct: http://www.nodalninja.com/nodal_ninj..._settings.html
lower rail: NN3 - 53
NN3 w/CP - 63
NN5 w/CP - 59.5
Upper rail: 83.5
What's w/CP ?
Thank you fellas!

Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.
117 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes
I'll use other oil (Canola?) no mustard and no dill. I don't like the flavor of them, even though olive oil is probably the healthiest. Crumbs from the crust have more fiber, so it's good to use them. The bones in canned salmon are edible and rich in calcium so I'd use them. I lost 20 pounds just by eliminating desserts and jams with sugar, but I need to lose about 60 more. I was addicted to sugar, but it doesn't bother me much to do w/o it now. It's a little bit of a struggle, when I do a week's grocery shopping, but I buy 3 slices of watermelon and eat that when I get home.
Any recipe calling for all purpose or any other white flour, I plan to replace with whole wheat pastry flour and hope it works.
I made this recipe and it was a disappointment. It calls for way too much breadcrumb and the cooking time is a bit too long. I will try it again but with less than half of the breadcrumb and I hope that solves the problem. It honestly felt as if I as eating dried toast. Yuk.
I made this last night and it turned out great! Although it took longer to prepare than I expected it was definitely worth the wait!
I don't really eat salmon, but I will be using this recipe from now on.

Students of Color studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Color textbooks – for example Teach Yourself Photography (Teach Yourself: Games/Hobbies/Sports) by [Lee Frost], and Photography (with MyPhotographyKit Student Access Code Card) (10th Edition) by [Barbara London, John Upton, Jim Stone] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Color is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Color books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Color classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Obama, GOP work together
March 6, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration and congressional Republicans are quietly working in tandem to blunt the impact of short-term spending cuts that kicked in with dire White House warnings a......
Amazing what a small bitter taste of polling will do. Obama didn't like how the public perceived his chicken little act. Now the administration is "working" with the GOP. The GOP should trust but verify that this is indeed true. I for one won't hold my breath and dare to hope.

Now that the boom times have returned for Wall Street with consecutive days of record market highs, the time for excuses must end, and the Obama administration and Congress should join with the other world markets in adopting a Robin Hood tax on financial speculation.
The signs could not be more clear. The New York Times , March 3, calls this a "golden age for corporate profits," and the financial sector is leading the gold rush. Just last year the top six U.S. banks raked in $63 billion – with Bank of America pulling in more than Walt Disney and McDonalds combined.
But it remains a different story in Main Street communities across America, a new pauper's age would be a more apt label.

"As long as they don't violate the guarantee of a secure retirement". This is an example of the President believing we are ignorant enough to still believe there is such a thing. Shameless.

I say let it roll. those cuts won't effect any average working person. as far as the federal employees well let me see, if they need extra money there are lots of part time jobs out there. they have been on the gravy train far to long. How about a dose of reality.

This is a TYRANNICAL government that now must be abolished in order to replace it with a CONSTITUTIONAL one!!
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." -- Declaration of Independence

Beware of Mr. Obama and any comments he may make concerning compromise. that is NOT a word that he understands or truly cares about !!!!
Sadly, his plans follow what he wants and no one, no one will ever change his mind or modify his positions.

To the editor:
Here we go again - what is the problem with a cross, and why are so many people becoming ill when they are near it?
Would they be in extreme pain when sprinkled with holy water, or cringe when the words from the Bible are read to them?
A beam that resembled a cross was placed in a museum in New York. A woman passing by claims to have become physically sick and has hired an attorney to have it removed.
We have to remember the bombing of the Twin Towers caused thousands of loved ones to lose their lives. Survivors and family members who lost so much on Sept. 11, 2001, are now being slapped in the face from a few allegedly ill people.
The removal of the cross from Steubenville's logo was another hand-slapper from these groups.
Has anyone read Dante's "Inferno" or "Paradise Lost"? It would change minds quickly about what the power of the cross can do for all of us.
I would think that there are so many other things to do with our idle time.
I would rather follow the way of the cross and aide in feeding the hungry, giving clothes to the needy and helping the homeless. Most of my time would be spent in helping the elderly who have real illnesses. But what do we see? Here comes the organization which claims a victory over having the crosses removed.
I do believe it is the most pitiful display of humankind that I have ever heard of. What sort of response would anyone expect, who so blatantly gloat over a hollow success?
How soon will it be that the churches must be removed, or religious bookstores, food pantries, soup kitchens, parochial schools and hospitals? When will universities and young Christian associations have to close their doors?
All that will be left is a deep, dark hole in the ground, and where will that pit lead to?
Will the people who become ill at the sight of a cross be rushed the hospital? Will they need surgery and extended care? Can a rehabilitation center be recommended?
Were the police notified that this woman was accosted by a cross, and will she collect on a forced insurance for a pre-existing condition?
It is time, people of faith, to stand tall against this pettiness. Let your prayers be heard loud and clear.
I have my faith. I have my church and my God to comfort me.
What do these people have? Is it called emptiness? I will never be silent, unless I am in church, thanking our Lord for giving all of us his life on the cross.

The Road to a Private Cloud Infrastructure
How does Data Center automatic look, how does it feel? What benefits could it
provide to you today? You may have some of these features… but how does it feel
when you have an integrated virtualization, end to end monitoring, heterogeneous
systems management, and automated backup/restore.
In this session we will present via 6 complex scenario video demos a clear
and pragmatic view of how to achieve integrated data center automation based on
current existing products and best practices through: performance based, as well
as power management based dynamic load balancing, application based disaster
recovery founded on backup and recovery automation, and finally heterogeneous
platform management.

Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
This is the chorus of the state song of Kansas. Most people, regardless of where they grew up, are probably familiar with it. But what many don't know is that the song was written by Kansas doctor Brewster Higley VI in the late 1800's in a cabin on the prairie.
Brewster built the cabin in 1872 just outside of what is now Athol, and began working as a country doctor serving the people in the area.
"Home on the Range" first appeared in the "Smith County Pioneer" in 1873, titled "My Western Home'. Over the years the song grew in popularity and verses were added or changed to suit the place it was being sung. But the iconic chorus has always remained the same. In 1947 it officially became the state song of Kansas.
While the song is still as well-known as ever, the cabin it was written in has fallen into disrepair over the past few years.
Luckily, trustees began fundraising about a year ago to give the cabin a much needed makeover.
In September 2012 the restoration process began. Land was taken out to create a handicapped ramp, the walls were torn down and the original logs were exposed once more, and all the ends have been braced to make sure it will stand for years to come.
"We've been really lucky," El Dean Holthus, one of the cabin trustees said, "we've had great weather and our construction crews have been speeding through the restoration process."
The reconstruction is expected to be completed by the end of next month, but after that there will still be a lot of work to do before it can be opened to the public.
"The nuts and bolts of the project are almost done," Holthus said, "but we still have to furnish the inside of the cabin as it would have been when Higley was living there."
Holthus is hoping that he will be able to find actual period pieces to put in the cabin. Or, that people will donate them to him.
"We're going to put out a list soon of everything we need, and the prices for them," he said, "that way people can just donate the money if they don't have the actual item and their name will be somewhere so everyone will know where it came from."
The best way to contact Holthus to find out what items are needed, or how much money something costs, is to e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
When the cabin is completed visitors will be able to walk around the whole area, except for the loft, and see first hand what it would have been like for a bachelor doctor living out on the prairie in the 1800's.
Page 2 of 2 - Holthus expects the cabin to be completed sometime within the next year, but has scheduled the rededication ceremony for October 2014.
"The reason it's so far out is because the Higley family hold their annual family reunion that weekend in Atchison, we've invited them to come out to the cabin for at least part of that time next year," Holthus said. "What better way to celebrate the rededication and restoration of this cabin than by having the ancestors of it's original builder here."

I understand how weights are defined for a Lie algebra representation.
How are weight spaces defined for a Lie group action (with respect to a fixed torus)?
I know this is a very embarrassing basic question, but i've looked through Harris+Fulton with no satisfactory explanation, and the only thing I can think of is using the exponential map somehow to reduce it to a Lie algebra, which seems unefficient computationally. Surely there must be a better way.

Let $X_i$ be a sequence of i.i.d. standard normal random variables. Let $Y_i=\sum_{k=1}^iX_k$ and $Z_i=\sum_{k=1}^iY_k$. I am interested in upper and lower bounds for $P(\sup_{1\leq i\leq m}|X_i|\leq c)$, $P(\sup_{1\leq i\leq m}|Y_i|\leq c)$ and $P(\sup_{1\leq i\leq m}|Z_i|\leq c)$. I managed to figure out the first two, and for the second one I got bounds of something like $1-\mbox{const}\times e^{-c^2/n}$ by considering $P(|B_t|\geq c)$ and using the reflection principle for $\tau=\inf_{t\leq m}\{t: \ |B_t|\geq c)\}$.
The problem is, the same trick doesn't quite work when figuring out the $P(\sup_{1\leq i\leq m}|Z_i|\leq c)$. In fact, the best I could do was write $Z_{n+1}=Z_n+B_{n+1}$ where $B$ is a standard Brownian motion. Maybe this can become a stochastic differential equation? But, it feels intractable unless I'm missing something. I was wondering how one might get good upper and lower bounds for the supremum over $Z_i$? Maybe I'm thinking too hard and there's an easier way which doesn't resort to Brownian motion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I recently picked up this burner and was excited to use it to bring my wort to a boil. I had it cranked up pretty high and it took about 15 minutes to bring 6 gallons of wort to a rolling boil in a stainless steel kettle. Is there an ideal time it should take to bring the wort to a boil? If I boil it too quickly is it possible that I'll burn the wort? Is there a way to tell if I am burning my wort?
Commercial micro-brewers can bring 10 barrels (2880 pints) to the boil in 30 - 45 mins using a gas jet of flame in a pipe that passes through the kettle - can't remember the technical name for it. What they do do, though, is recirculate the wort whilst they heat. This will keep it on the move and prevent hot spots/scorching/caramelising and any other problems that might occur from high temperatures acting on the wort.
So, I think you should be careful if you use too high a heat to boil it quickly. Consider keeping it on the move. I am sure overheating will be apparent by dark deposits on the 'hot' zone of your kettle. These deposits can contain carcinogens, so it is best not to let them build up.

Can I assume that every creation in this world was first manifested in the world during the first six days of the Genesis, which therefore includes color? So was color (the spectrum of hues and shades, etc.) a phenomenon that was created during Ma'aseh Bereishit, or not until the rainbow in Noach's generation (by the flood)?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Pesachim 54A says the rainbow was created on the sixth day:
(Soncino translation.)
In order to have the rainbow you need color, so the answer appears to be yes.
From a scientific point of view, when light was created, it would have been created in all its wavelengths (colours.) It would be interesting to consider the idea that man was colour blind until Noach's generation, and thus they could see the rainbow for the first time.
Whatever the argument of the creation story (that God controls that world, that there is order to the world, etc.), that argument is being made to a generation of slaves without technology. Assuming the "creation of color" is truly distinguishable from the creation of light, I don't think this it is a concept that would have been understood by the generation leaving Egypt, to whom, at least on a pshat level, the Torah was pitched.
By way of analogy (It's not perfect, but I think it works):
I'm currently reading a book by R Natan Slifkin about reconciling Science and the Torah. In his discussion of evolution, he quotes R' J. Hertz:
This is a great synopsis of opinions of 5 Rishonim and early Acharonim answering what was different about the seemingly natural phenomenon of rainbow before the flood. Start reading here for the discussion at more length.
From various meforshim (from memory as I do not have the sources available) such as Nechama Leibowitz, Rabbi J. H. Hertz, Rabbi Wein, Rabbi Hirsch.
As Rav Hirsch says at Noach 9:13

I frequently hike and camp in the forests of the Midwest (Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, etc). Considering this climate can get quite cold in the Fall & Winter, what are the best strategies to starting a fire? Assuming I have a lighter, what materials would be best to gather? Are any types of wood structures better for this climate (tepee, log cabin, etc)?
There are a lot of ways to start fires, from a lighter to a chocolate bar and soda can. The basic principles always apply, though: you need oxygen, heat, and fuel (see fire triangle). If you can combine these three just right, you'll get fire.
There is a sort of art to starting a fire. Generally you will need:
You can either stack the kindling around or on top of your tinder before lighting it, or add it as the tinder burns. Flame tends to burn from the bottom up, so starting tinder on top of kindling is not going to work as well (if at all).
If you are using matches, stack some kindling around or on top of the tinder, making a sort of "log cabin" or "tipi" out of small sticks. Make sure to leave room for air to get to the flame, and an opening for your match to light the tinder.
Once your tinder is lit, the flame should slowly grow, consuming the tinder and igniting the kindling. Gently blowing on the flame will add oxygen and help this process along. Keep adding wood and blowing or fanning as needed, and gradually increase the size of the wood you add as the flame grows. Before long you'll have a nice flame going and you'll be able to sit back and enjoy the warmth.
When cold temperature is an issue, your fire may be harder to start, but you will be the biggest victim. Your cold hands and waning patience are more likely to make your fire harder to start than anything else.
Fingerless gloves are good to keep your hands warm while allowing fine manipulation of twigs and leaves, and the lighter.
You can also shelter yourself from the wind to keep yourself more comfortable as you try to start the fire. Or make yourself a hot beverage (yes, with a stove).
Also, teamwork. Take turns running around in the woods collecting fire wood (heating yourself up) and working on the fire (freezing your hands off).
Good kindling and tinder is essential - things like cotton balls, newspaper, toilet paper or dried wood can be beneficial here. If you haven't brought anything with you look for small, dry twigs which should ignite fairly easily. Other dried material such as dried grass also works well.
As well as the usual matches and lighter I also always carry a firesteel - takes a bit of knack to use it but it'll create sparks pretty much anywhere, even if it's cold and soaking wet (though obviously make sure your tinder / kindling isn't!)
Once you've got your tinder ignited, slowly add the kindling (don't add too much at once or you'll likely starve the flame of oxygen. Once you've got a nice fire going with the kindling you can look to add bigger logs, again gradually and making sure they're thoroughly dry, until you have a fire the size you need.
Although not strictly speaking part of this question, I think it's always worth remembering that you should take steps to make sure your fire is safely extinguished as well - see here for the related question!
If you can find a decent supply of semi-dry birch bark (which contains a natural accelerant) you are at least off to a good start. Then general fire-making steps kick back in two-fold.

Are there higher-dimensional versions of the concept of rotationally symmetric Venn diagrams, with closed curves replaced by closed surfaces or higher manifolds ?
The n-simplex as a subset of ${\mathbb R}^{n+2}$ can serve as a stand-in for a Venn diagram. Or if you like you can fatten the vertices until you have over-lapping $n$-balls.
More precisely, consider the convex hull of $\{e_1, e_2, \ldots , e_{n+1}\}$. This is the set $\{ \vec{x} \in R^{n+2}: \sum_i x_i = 1, \ \ \& \ \ 0\le x_i \}$ where $e_i$ represents the $i$th standard unit vector $[0,\ldots, 0,1,0,\ldots, 0]$ that has a $1$ in the $i$th position. Each vertex represents one of your sets. Each edge represents the intersection between two sets. Each triangle represents the intersection among $3$ sets, and each $k$-simplex (which is determined by a subset of size $k+1$ chosen from $\{1,2, \ldots , n+2\}$ represents the intersection among $(k+1)$ sets.
To imagine a model use a protractor and draw the complete graph on $(k+2)$-vertices that are represented by the roots of unity $e^{2\pi i j/(k+2)}$ (The $i$ here is different than the index above).

The contracts include over 1000 control valves, valve controllers and actuators for applications ranging from inlet gas processing, acid gas removal, liquefaction and fractionation to anti-surge and cryogenic. The wide scope of applications is matched by various valve materials to withstand harsh conditions.
Emerson Process Management was awarded $67 million in
contracts from Chevron Australia to provide control valves
and valve actuators to help ensure the efficient and safe flow
of natural gas at its Gorgon project, one of the
worlds largest natural gas projects.
Emerson said it is providing the majority of the
control and shutdown valves for Gorgon.
Emersons valve and valve automation technologies
provide the ability to accurately manage the production of gas,
resulting in tighter and more accurate control that increases
overall system efficiency and safety and helps ensure environmental compliance.
The Fisher FIELDVUE digital valve controllers provide
automated configuration as well as improved control valve
calibration and tuning. Their built-in diagnostics enable
technicians to remotely monitor the health of valve assembly
and can alert them to pending issues before they affect
"Our customers are undertaking increasingly larger and more
complex projects in challenging on- and
offshore sites, where they require sophisticated, reliable gas
flow solutions," said Steve Sonnenberg, president of Emerson
Process Management.
"Prior to installation, we were able to verify the performance
of highly critical valves that will be used at Gorgon
through, real-world flow testing at the Emerson Innovation
Center in Marshalltown, Iowa -- the largest flow facility in
the world capable of providing this kind of reliability testing."
The contracts include over 1000 control valves, valve controllers and
actuators for applications ranging from inlet gas processing,
acid gas removal, liquefaction and fractionation to anti-surge
and cryogenic. The wide scope of applications is matched by
various valve materials, to withstand harsh conditions, extreme
changes in pressure, and corrosive environments.
Severe service conditions within many of the processes are met
by a high number of Fisher noise reduction and anti-cavitation
Additionally, Emerson said its Roxar subsea wet gas
meters will be used to provide real-time, accurate measurements
of hydrocarbon flow rates and water
In addition to support from Emerson Process

Ladies' Night
It was an evening to honor the work of 22 fabulously philanthropic—and fashionable—young ladies when the National Charity League's Laguna chapter put on its Debutante Ball at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. Donned in traditional white ball gowns, the girls listened alongside their close friends and family members as President Beth Saxe praised them for their six years of service and for embracing the giving spirit of the mother-daughter organization. In total, the debs volunteered 5,000-plus hours and aided nonprofits such as the Boys and Girls Club of Capistrano Valley, the Surfrider Foundation and many more. Truly inspirational. –Photos by Leslie Bird
