I think it depends in the league you are managing. In Italy, it's a rare thing if you can end a match without a single yellow card.
Some stats from the 3 big leagues based on 1 season.
i'm using default settings not increasing/decreasing tackling and playing very fluid so this is default
I would say this version of FM is the best in this respect. Previous versions were far too card-shy imo, but in FM12 I actually managed to pick up a fine for having six players booked in a game.
I only see more bookings when its a Derby game
I believe referees have attributes too that determines the number of cards he dishes out or how harsh he can be.
The statistics overall I would imagine match up to real life numbers quite well, that's what they look for in their soak tests. However there are too many bookings being handed out in the first couple of minutes in a match. Had one where there were 2 in the first minute, 3 in the first three and finally five in the first ten minutes of the game - every single one of them for a standing tackle in a non-dangerous situation. That's quite frankly ridiculous and I don't think would ever happen in reality whereas it's not that rare in FM.
Seem to be a ton more since the patch to be fair, played a game as Toulouse and had something like 6 bookings and it seems to be my full backs pretty much EVERY game, what pisses me off more than anything is they are such soft bookings, you can back into someone a minute into the match and get booked I mean what the hell? the bookings on this game are pretty disgraceful and even though you can question some red cards in real life, I barely ever question yellows or feel they are too harsh or soft whereas on FM it seems the vast majority of yellow cards are harsh and/or soft and I rarely see a red.

Bookings in my game are less than Real Life in the EPL, so no issues for me.
My squad is also the most discipline, half the amount of red and yellow cards than anyone else..
All good here.
chris smalling
played 19
14 yellows 2 reds... playing at right back
aggression only 14
Nemanja vidic
played 22/5
8 yellows
aggression 18
playing Centre back
Rio ferdinand
played 21/3
yellow cards 3
aggression 8
played at centre back
patrice evra
played 20
yellow cards 8 red cards 1
aggression 15
left back
doe not explain much, but smalling is getting far to many yellows, vidic should be getting loads, he doesnt. and the red cards are L/R backs
fabio has also picked up 4 yellows in 4 apperances - 13 aggression
Fabio is fabio, picks them up for fairly often, his position stat isnt great at the start, and if he is playing high up the pitch he can be caught out easily, thus leading to a rash tackle.
Dont see why Vidic should be getting loads though, high aggressive, but his postioning, marking, anticipation, tackling, concentraction are all superb. What roles do your full backs have?
they are just central defenders set to defend
but are forward for corners.
and smalling picks up another yellow... and does the same thing minutes later and doesnt get sent off

My FBs stats are thus:
1st choice DR: P 34 (3) Y 5 R 0
1st choice DL: P 36 (4) Y 4 R 0
Rotation DR/L: P 19 (4) Y 3 R 0
New Signing DL: P 8 Y 2 R 0
Young Cover: P 2 Y 0 R 0
Veteran Cover: P 11 (4) Y 1 R 0
In total:
As per usual, your problem is because of something you are doing, not inherent to the game.

it isn't something i am doing. attacking+very fluid with no added defencive dutys from the defaults. no get stuck in.
From my experience bookings are fine,with some minor exceptions where in some cases defenders that closed down quickly up the pitch for a tactical fault should get booking more offen.
yea seems so, but they are doing it too far up the pitch, phil jones got himself sent off now -_-, i dont mind them tackling but when they are in the final third lol
I had this problem even though I had set tackling to normal. A further look into player instructions showed me that I had 6 players on hard tackling including both strikers who needless to say are awful at it. My bookings has gone down since so I would check to make sure.
If you're worried about too many booking play in Germany, the ref's there are as lenient as they get.
Using a very similar tactical approach to one I've used in Portugal, England, Italy, Scotland & Spain I hardly ever have players sent off (struggling to recall one in the last 5 seasons) & if I get 3 bookings in a match then it's been a rough game, I've seen games with over 40 fouls not have a single booking.
IMHO there is a flaw in the ME when it comes to officiating but I cannot pin down what it is.

There's definatley something going on with foreign referees in this game. Don't know if it's meant to replicate RL with Premier league officials being more used to seeing rough & tumble matches and foreign refs used to a more technical game. God help them when they see a player actually tackle another player, theyre brains must go completely mental!
Bookings are an odd one as there is a correlation between FM & real world numbers but having managed in different leagues around Europe I'm of the opinion that this is solely due to a contrived adjustment in officials.
I couldnt really comment i have only really managed in the SPL in this version, havent really noticed anything wrong in terms of cards, few dodgy calls from time to time, especially in those contested goal situations, challenges on keepers and slow centre backs, but i dont think thats officiating mistakes in the same sense.
I've had 52 yellows and 4 reds in the league and i've only played 21 games, surely that's not right?
In all competitions I have had 69 yellows and 7 reds in 32 games, I'm PSG.
This happens almost every match, and has me wondering if these incidents are displayed badly in the animations or if there is simply no code to determine the force with which a tackle is performed - something which is essential to determine whether it deserves a card or is just a foul. Generally speaking, I rarely see yellow cards being given in real life when a foul has been made by a player nearly standing still, regardless of where he is on the pitch or if the tackle came from behind. The common denominator is, as said above, that these low-force fouls are done while the player having the ball is facing away from the tackler, while there seems to make little difference whether excessive force was used or not.
So, again, are you sure that these yellow cards do not happen more often to attackers set to press the opposition defense who often turn around for a backpass, and to full backs pressing the wingers when they turn away from the goal while holding up the ball (which they do very often!)?
Edit: or, as another explanation of these cards; are there too many attempts at tackling players from behind compared to real life?

There isn't a whole lot you can do to make your players tackle better you know, have it on easy tackling and tell the team to stay on feet? yep, I've tried that when I played as Barcelona but that didn't stop the yellows coming in, but I guess I just don't have a clue right?
So I loaded up my new Barcelona save and after 8 games played of the season these are the statistics combined from all the refs:
80 matches
347 yellow cards
17 red cards
Now, 347 yellow cards dished out in 80 matches which is 4 per game? one ref has 37 from 6 which is about 6 a game, another has 32 from 4 which is 8 a game.
The Premiership has about half as much yellow cards even though it's more physical compared to La Liga? Germany has even more by the looks of it.
Latest save from latest patch, one ref in the French league has 50 yellow cards and 2 red cards after 7 matches yet in over 100 games your FB's alone only rack up 15 whereas after 8 games my striker has already got 3? I know you're talking about Full Backs but you seem to defend FM at every corner while blaming every problem on the user, if FM was as perfect as you make it out to be we wouldn't need patches even after what, 5 months?

Yeah Wwfan how about you back yourself up with some stats for a change........:P
Wwfan has fullbacks who rarely get booked, he concedes 1 goal every 3 matches and barely ever sees his AM lose the ball, let me guess, your players never get injured because you're just that awesome and they have a pass percentage of about 98% because again, you are just that damn good? all you seem to do is defend the game based on your own experiences providing zero proof while saying anyone that experiences something they don't agree with pretty much sucks.
That guy got 2 red cards yet I don't, that clearly means I'm just awesome whereas he sucks? that seems to be your logic behind everything.
There is a very simple explanation, he knows what he is doing, more than probably anyone on the forums, he doesnt need to lie about anything as its all true.
Look, he helps code the match engine, he knows more about the game mechanics than 99% of the people that post on these forums, what he achieves is not through luck, or buying the worlds best players, its by him actually knowing what he should be doing. He is anything but arrogant about that fact, infact he tries his best to help people, although i have no idea why when you read posts like yours.
You clearly have not looked through his posts, and you also seem to have no idea why he has made that post, next time before you attack someone, know what your actually talking about. Right now your making yourself look like a fool.
Anyway man, I said what I had to say and I don't want to derail a thread talking about 1 guy to his fanboy, so if you want to keep defending him do it in private and I'd be happy to, but I still think the way he's posting is ridiculous regardless of how good he is or what he's done on FM etc.

hahahaha i suggest you also think about what year it is.
I defend all the mods, especially Ackter, he is my hero.
To be honest not sure what the fuss is about. I pointed out to the OP where i though he was going wrong, and he seemed to agree. I'm playing as United, I have the same back line as him, and his bookings are 3 times as high as mine. I did have a problem similar to him very early on and quickly spotted the issues, so i can pretty much see why his fullbacks are getting cards. It is partly down to his approach, but also down to the players themselves, and a few small changes, and more player development (Fabio, Jones' PPM) will see a fall in cards.
I've had the same problem with my players getting inconsistent cards and they ain't for tackles, but stupid stuff like bumping into the player, well according to the commentary anyway.
My defensive record and starting full backs from last season, as my word doesn't seem to be good enough.
For the record, I am not saying anyone is rubbish at the game. Rather that the problems they report are down to something they are doing, not inherent to the game itself. Until people recognise that, you cannot help them.
I would say there is enough of a problem wit with the game & in particular the tactical interface.
Take 'Hard' tackling as an example, in the real world I would define this as being a more forceful in a challenge, standing your ground so to speak but in FM world it means play dirty by pulling/holding/pushing players or committing persistent tripping offences to break up play.
The ME does not always do what we would expect it to do based on the language used in the interface, rarely, sometimes & often are meaningless words based on how the ME interprets them when compared to how most football people would understand these instructions.
it just seems to me its very easy for them to get booked, and they are not getting booked when higher up the pitch, this is tackles in the final 3rd. i have no problems with them getting booked for a foul that stops them scoring, but the same player did the same, no booking. and i wasn't refering to just me either, i was facing blackburn, yakubu got sent off for 2 fouls. i dont think the ME is putting that sort of stuff into consideration.
midfield is not getting yellows thrown at them, and they make the same sort of fouls.
half the time i dont know who is booked when it isn't shown on the game i am watching.
You can get booked for a single foul that is a bit too late or is obviously stopping the player without attempting to win the ball or because you are consistently making niggling fouls. You need to know which type of foul your players tend to commit. If the former type, it is likely your team is getting stretched and forced into slightly reckless tackles. If so, your formation structure, roles, duties and mentality are likely to be the cause. If the team is merely niggly and dirty, then tackling hardness and time wasting are the more likely culprits.
team isn't getting stretched though, thats the strange thing. might just be a bunch of fussy refs, last 4 games been very little in terms of bookings and i havn't changed anything.
oh he got 2 yellows AGAIN, making tackles he didn't need to make and being booked for "tripping" they player did that 3 times.
Last edited by scott MUFC; 15-03-2012 at 22:56.
Then they must be niggly fouls? It HAS to be one or the other. Perhaps you should look back at the yellows and see why your players are picking them up.
I suspect your FBs tend to get caught high because of your high line, their attacking mentalities and run from deep settings, and are forced into stretched tackles from behind when the opposition breaks. If you are totally dominant, they won't get booked. However, if the other team is looking to counter and reasonably effective in doing so, they'll get caught out of position and forced into taking action.
If you want to stop it, YOU need to work out why it is happening and stop thinking it is inherent to the game or down to fussy refs. It is tactical / player related, and the solution is in your hands.
my last one was him being randomly infront of the back 4, therfore didn't need to make the tackle, how he ended up there i dunno.
nani just got booked for a nothing challange though

i dunno, i might see what they are set as, smalling is lunging in like mad when on a yellow.
just let assistand do a match, only bookings on my team are smalling and evra, and he played flat 4-4-2 so less holes.
strange one this.

How do you not know if they are backing off? Look at the replay.
Fired up players are more inclined to lose discipline - something not mentioned yet in this thread.
it isn't that team talks nothing is happening.
IT could be a game thing (i dont care if you say it isn't) looking at positional things, ferdinand was booked for pulling someone back on the wing halfway back in my half, thier player pulls someone back in the centre circle, nothing.
looking through there is very little problems, just random tackles that seem to yellow cards when in the final 3rd and not, in the central area
Which makes perfect sense. Your team is being forced to make fouls in the final third, as they are being stretched, whereas AI teams make them higher up the pitch, as they aren't. As your foul happens in more dangerous circumstances, a yellow is far more likely.looking at positional things, ferdinand was booked for pulling someone back on the wing halfway back in my half, thier player pulls someone back in the centre circle, nothing.
i dont think it is against the user, just think it isn't considering where the areas are, players that are not threating (aka centre circle) fouls are just fouls, if a player has a chance of getting to the goal, yellow - i expect that, but a foul that isn't a booking in the centre circle infront of my back foor (few feet away) is. the wing one shouldn't have been a booking, shirt tug yellow card, player had lots of cover. thats what i'm pointing at as a game thing, it is basing it on position.
they arn't being forced to make these fouls, players just seem to be making them

If you believe that, then you'll never work out how to stop it.I don't think it's hard coded against the user. But I do think it's coded in such a way that in the long-term it affects the user much more than the AI teams. Same goes for injuries,especially injuries actually but that's another thing.
As long as we are close to the real life statistics it means we are ok,right?
There are copious reasons you might have had so many injuries. One is bad luck. However, you need to realise the ME does not know which team is the user team and which team is the AI team. If you are consistently getting more injuries than the AI teams average, it is down to the instructions you are providing the ME.
There are always reasons for repeating patterns. Blaming the ME is not just fallacy, but a total cop out. The moment you realise that a high proportion of your problems are off your own making, you have taken the first step towards solving them.
There are other more mechanic reasons that might cause this as well (i.e. poor mentality slider settings), but the above is the core reason.
Quite simply, if it happens to you, but not to others (including myself) then there are three possible conclusions.
1: You are amazingly brilliant at FM, with a secret rubber band effect activating in your matches to stop you unrealistically dominating and to keep the game competitive through unfair means. The rest of us aren't as good as you, so do not experience the effect.
2: It happens to you because of something or things you, but not others, are doing. If you stopped doing these things, you'd stop seeing these patterns.
3: It happens to everyone, but some of us deliberately lie about it to try and wind you up.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...
There's far more a human player can do in the game, than the AI can.
The AI in FM isn't as sophisticated as people seem to think it is. It doesn't cheat and it's not as clever as this...
Meanwhile, the answer to all your problems, indeed EVERYTHING... is of course, 42.

So I'll take the 3d choise if you don't mind.
The way you reply is like me (and the rest who replied on this thread) made a random tactic,took random players and are posting to cry about how the game cheats us. Like I (and I suppose we) haven't tried different tactics and different approaches or different trainings.
So unless you got an actual thing to propose in order to stop these things that you never encounter yourself,no,I can't really see any actual logic to those replies. The "it's your tactics" reply is getting old. And no,it's not always the sliders,unless you imply that the around 4-6 people that have replied positively about this thread are using the exact same sliders and are encountering the same problem.
Anyway,this doesn't go anywhere.I might as well drop it here.
I have helped by writing a pretty extensive guide to tactics, available in the Tactics Forum. It's stickied under Tactical Theorems and Frameworks. Plus multiple other threads and advice. It's also worthwhile reading anything by Heath, Cleon or SFraser.
If you haven't read them, I suggest you do.
And I haven't implied anything about exact same slider settings. There is a style of play that tends to produce the phenomena you experience. The settings do not have to be exactly matched.
As an aside, I actually think the flaws of the ME create these schools of thought. I look at some of the "super" tactics, (with setting that i know are just not going to work properly, that eventually fail when the AI reacts from your increased rep, and I think, if the ME was more robust, or the AI was better equipped, these approaches would get ripped apart in the first half an hour of a match
In all my time on this forum, I can assure that no one knows and understands the game better than wwfan, Cleon, Heath and the late SFraser. If the first three are saying something, you should listen and take their advice, because your game will improve from doing so. Seriously take the time to read their threads/guides etc. Or just carry on being wrong. The choice is yours. Same goes for the OP.
Making it sophisticated enough to employ logical and individually tailored strategies that relate to the match context is a huge challenge.
Now I'm not expecting you to admit this, but FM is not a perfect game in 100% working order nor is the ME for that matter but I guess if something bad happens it's just the user right? and not the perfect game that replicates real football with deadly accuracy.
Oh look, my player got a straight red card even though his tackling is on easy, guess that's just me being crap at the game right? I also fail to see how giving instructions causes injuries but again, a player getting injured is OUR fault and not the games, honestly mate, with the defending you do of FM I'm getting the feeling you pretty much made it and funded it entirely on your own, I guess it's also my fault that players who go 40 games without injury suddenly get injured 2 days before a major final right? my keeper has 3 shots against him and conceded 3 goals because it's my fault, you're one of the biggest yet saddest fanboys I have ever seen so keep up the good work.
No need for that kind of post kingpug.
Post with some respect for everyone else please.
On the subject of your post, FM isn't a perfect game, no-one will ever tell you that it is, the ME is flawed, as is the AI. That doesn't meant that everything that happens is the user's fault, everything that you've mentioned happens in real life too. Players get injured before important competitions after being injury free for ages, keepers concede every shot sometimes. But that doesn't mean that you as a manager can't take some measures to limit some things happening.

Waaay.... tooo....many for me... (my team only....half way through season, I've gotten 74 yellows (10ish reds, all through double-yellow). Next highest team is like 47ish. Playing BSN Stafford Rangers in 2013/14 season, and just can't seem to escape a game without picking up 3 or 4 at least.
For last match of the 2013 calendar year, I was short four starters through their 5th yellow of the season. Add on top of that injuries, I was lucky to field a squad

Stalking perfection
Like a predominant number of fly fishermen, Colville's Jesse Nicholas is a fisherman's fisherman--a purist, if you will. After all, while he is erudite in any debate over the nuances of graphite vs. bamboo fly rod and understands the reasons for both, it's clear where Nicholas and his allegiances lie—it's bamboo with his dry fly pattern. Nicholas isn't going to poor mouth the spin casters, or graphite and fiberglass. Different strokes and casts for different folks. It's just that he prefers angling a different way. No, Nicholas isn't going to take that bait. As clearly as a river runs through it or a creek runs past it, Nicholas casts his lot and perspective to the hallowed and often revered bamboo fly rod and the almost mystical devotion often ascribed to it. After all, he's working hard to get a fledgling business off the ground and into the streams of a fly-fisher's conscience and onto the water. Fledgling business Nicholas is the sole proprietor of Quillisascut Creek Bamboo Fly Rods of Colville. A nearly life-long fisherman, Nicholas admits that his fledgling business is in its infancy. After all, the Quillisascut website, which he created, has been up and running for all of about a month. And he doesn't mind conceding that he hasn't sold any of his premium bamboo fly rods yet. He does have some well-outfitted family members, however. "I have some very happy family members," Jesse says of the handsome, exquisitely conceived and executed bamboo fly rods that he has constructed since initiating what started as a hobby. In 1998, he started making his own set of planing forms as a precursor to what has become Quillisascut Creek Bamboo Fly Rods. "I have made about 20 so far and have given them away," says Jesse, whose parents own a farm along Quillisascut Creek in the Rice area, some 30 miles from where Nicholas hopes to make a niche and a living with a labor of love. Nicholas hopes to change that "gifting" to relatives concept. After all, materials for custom bamboo fly rods don't come cheap. 'His day job' To pay the bills, Nicholas works construction and builds greenhouses (Nicholas Greenhouse Construction). He's been doing that since he was 16-years-old. "I still do that," says the easy-going Nicholas, who grew up in the foothills around Denver, CO. "It pays the bills. But I would love to be able to make this work and leave the construction world." Nicholas, of course, is an avid fly-fisherman who has been casting his lot to the art since he was a teenager. "My brother and father were into fly-fishing…I remember getting some casting lessons and getting absolutely hooked on it." Jesse admits that he loves to "product test" in local waters. "Most evenings, I'm on the water," he says. For Nicholas, there is nothing quite like studying a body of water in the area, picking the appropriate fly pattern, laying it gingerly where it can drift naturally through riffles or a deep pool…and watching a trout hit the pattern. Unless, of course, it's building a custom bamboo fly rod. Nicholas, who has fished with his share of fast-action graphite rods and fiberglass, concedes that "it doesn't get any better than bamboo…I love fishing and I enjoy it even more using a bamboo fly rod. It has a feel that is difficult to describe. "It's really beautiful. A six-inch fish on bamboo feels like it's a monster. I don't think that anybody who has ever experienced that wants to go back to graphite." This avid fly-fisherman makes heirloom-quality, hand-split Tonkin bamboo fly rods from only the highest quality materials. The rods are made to order to suit the discerning customer's specifications. Nicholas is a perfectionist on the water and at the work- bench. His bamboo fly rods are all personally hand-made from the ground—and the country—up. The cane for the rods comes from China. He selects the cane, hand splits it and planes the cane by hand to its final dimension. The craftsman fits the ferrules (from Vermont) and mounts and shapes each handle using the highest-grade cork. Hand-made reels are from Peerless. You get the idea. Custom fly rods Customers are invited to offer their input and help customize each fly rod, which come in lengths of six to eight-feet. The rods are all built in a three-piece configuration with two matching rod tips. All rods are embellished with decorative contrasting rod wraps at the ferrules and signature wraps. The customer can also choose the color of the cane on the fly rod (from the natural cane "blonde" color, to a rich dark brown that is achieved by flaming the cane). Nicholas is the first to concede that not all bamboo is the same. "I have found that Tonkin cane rebounds more quickly," Nicholas says as he shows off a couple of his bamboo rods. The Tonkin cane is cured for upwards of a year before it's ready to become a fly-fisherman's best friend. Nicholas the bamboo fly-rod maker got his start after attending an intensive, hands-on class from renowned bamboo fly-rod maker William "Bill" Oyster of Blue Ridge, GA. For Nicholas, the craft doesn't get much better than tutelage from a fly-fisherman and craftsman like Oyster, who draws his students from all over the world and has been commissioned to make rods for many of the world's finest anglers. "I couldn't have done better than take that class from him," Nicholas says of Oyster and his instruction. "He has a very good teaching manner…he's very good at it. His niche now is teaching…he's a great teacher and builder." Nicholas is committed to transforming something that is a passion and hobby to customized vocation. He admits that fly fishing, with or without a bamboo fly rod "isn't for everybody, but it's a whole lot of fun…the better you are at it, the more fun it is to fish. There is nothing quite like wading into a stream up to your armpits and casting a line…and being able to drop that fly into that pocket…"

This is a purely CSS based image gallery that displays larger versions of thumbnail images dynamically when the mouse hovers over them. A rich HTML caption can be added to the enlarged image, and every aspect of the Image Gallery exists as plain HTML on the page. The idea is to use CSS's ":hover" pseudo class to cause an element to react onMouseover. When that happens, an absolutely positioned container holding the enlarged image, anchored on the page by another container with position set to relative, is shown. Furthermore, it's possible to modify the behavior so the enlarged images are only shown onClick, though IE6 currently doesn't support this behavior well. The gallery works in IE6+, Firefox, Opera 8+.
Simply beautiful.

結ぶ means to connect, tie, or bind things together, either physically or metaphorically. And then it has the seemingly random phrase
[実]{み}を結ぶ meaning "to bear fruit". How does this meaning derive from the "tie/bind" meaning of 結ぶ and the 結 character in general?

結ぶ means to connect, tie, or bind things together, either physically or metaphorically. And then it has the seemingly random phrase
I checked an Old Chinese corpus.
The Kanji 結 was used in the sense of to form an abstract relationship about 2500 years ago, as in 結怨, 結親, 結好, etc.
It could also be used intransitively, like 怨結, 恩結, 気結, 冤結, etc., which sound like to clump/condense/congeal, but it only applied to abstract emotions.
It acquired the meaning to bear no later than 400 AD. It not only applied to fruits (結果, 結実, 結子), but also buds (結葩), roots (結根), and plants (結篠). Meanwhile, I also found 結 was widely used for all kinds of things, such as 結霜 (frost) , 結氷 (ice), 結营 (building), 結党 (organization), 結謀 (plan), 結縁, etc.
In addition, Buddhist was largely introduced in China during that period. Coincidentally, 結果 and 結縁 were used a lot in Buddhist scriptures. Also, Chinese changed dramatically during 200-600 AD.
In conclusion, I do not see a direct relation between ties and stems. The derivation seems to be:
You may want to ask experts in the Chinese Language Stack Exchange for an authoritative answer.
As for the Japanese word むすぶ, I do not know what its original meaning is and how it finally became the current meaning.
According to 学研全訳古語辞典, it means 結ぶ can mean 形作る or 形を成す.
方丈記 and 徒然草 were written in about 1200 AD and 1300 AD. Since 訓読 had already existed before those books were written, literate people must have used むすぶ to translate 結 for quite a long time. I did not see this meaning used in 古事記 and 万葉集.
I think the meaning is derived from the tie between stems and fruit, also in the case of apples or oranges. Fruit is born from stems, so there are necessarily some ties between them, regardless of whether the ties are apparent or not.
You can use 実を結ぶ ( or more formally 結実する ) not only in a physical sense but also in a metaphorical sense "to have a successful result", as is the case in English phrase "to bear fruit."
I think this expression is also derived from the "ties" between cause and effect.
類語例解辞典 says
I do not believe this "結ぶ" is "binding a fruit with a branch or a stem". When I say "実を結ぶ", I imagine a fruit which grows by itself to be mature, but I don't imagine the tree attached to the fruit.
Here are some (Japanese) examples where 「結ぶ」 is apparently not related to "binding".
Seeing those examples, I think
I think 「焦点を結ぶ」 and 「夢を結ぶ」 can be understood in this way, too.
Regarding the Japanese word musubu (as opposed to the kanji 結, which Yang Muye does an excellent job of explaining), I must side with naruto on this one. The underlying idea does not appear to be the tying, so much as the knot: something that comes together as a result of some process -- be it tying string, or growing a nodule, or coalescing from the void. One can musubu a dream, or a flower, or a fruit or nut, or a conclusion or result.
After poking around over a several days in search of information on the etymology of this term, I cannot find as much as I'd like. むすぶ does appear in at least these five places in the Man'yōshū dating from roughly 347 - 759 CE, suggesting that this word has been around for pretty much the entirety of the history of the Japanese language (where "history" == "written record"). Here's a summary of my findings.
Although the etymological evidence that I can find is only circumstantial, semantically speaking, 結{むす}ぶ does appear to have more of an emphasis on coming together, coalescing, producing than is suggested by the common English gloss of to tie. From that perspective, the meaning in 実を結ぶ is less of a strange outlier and more of a natural semantic fit.

Depends on what you mean, by "South of the Border".Texas is already getting a net gain of Doctors and some pretty hefty improvements of medical services, mostly ever since the state of Texas passed tort reform for medical services.(Ie, you only get a limited amount of money for mental distress, but you aren't exactly limited, on medical services, if the practitioner messes up. And the biggie, lawyers can only get so much money.)Heck, the dinky local hospital has a da Vinci Surgical System. (Can be used for heart surgeries, or even reversals of vasectomies.) This was of course, ever since the local government handed over management to a private company. (Catholic run). We are going to try and get a Medical school, in the city, going soon.Not to mention already having Medical Zones, in some cities. (Big tax breaks, for businesses and practices, if set-up, in certain areas)

Prove or find counterexamples.
Let $X$ be an infinite set and $T$ be a topology on $X$. If $T$ contains every infinite subset of $X$, then $T$ is the discrete topology.
Prove or find counterexamples.
Let $X$ be an infinite set and $T$ be a topology on $X$. If $T$ contains every infinite subset of $X$, then $T$ is the discrete topology.
Suppose $T$ is a topology containing all the infinite subsets of $X$. I claim every finite subset also belongs to $T$, and so $T$ is the discrete topology.
To see this, let $A$ be any finite subset of $X$. Since $X$ is infinite, $X \setminus A$ is infinite. Partition $X \setminus A$ into two disjoint infinite subsets $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ (this can always be done if the Axiom of Choice is assumed).
Now, $Y_1 \cup A$ and $Y_2 \cup A$ are both infinite sets, so they belong to $T$. Moreover, their intersection is precisely $A$. Since topologies are closed under finite intersection, it must be the case that $A$ belongs to $T$. Since $A$ was an arbitrary finite set, the claim follows.
Let's suppose that $X$ is an amorphous set, in the cofinite topology. By the amorphous nature of $X$, every infinite subset of $X$ has a finite complement, so every infinite subset of $X$ is open. Thus, the open subsets of $X$ are precisely the empty set, $X$, and the infinite proper subsets of $X$. However, this is not discrete, as (for example) no singleton subset of $X$ is open.
Now, if we have enough Choice so that there aren't any amorphous sets, then Austin's approach is the way to go for a proof. Otherwise, the above serves as a counterexample.
Remark: I don't intend this to be a "competing" answer with Austin's. I intended merely to elucidate why I brought up the Axiom of choice and why he then felt compelled to make mention of it in his answer. He answered before I did, it's a good answer, and you didn't pre-specify how much (if any) Choice you're using. If you like mine, feel free to upvote, but if you're debating which of our answers to accept, go with his.

I'm pretty new to both Ruby and Selenium and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to build my test harness. I'm using Rake, Rake::TestTask, and Test::Unit to power this. I have a suite that I'd like to run once for each browser/os combination. I can't figure out how to parameterize my tests though, something I've become accustomed to with Junit4 and TestNG.
require 'rake'
require 'rake/testtask'
browsers = ['IE on Windows', 'Firefox on Windows', 'Firefox on Mac', 'Safari on Mac']
task :default => [:run_tasks]
task :create_tasks do
browsers.each do |browser|
Rake::TestTask.new("selenium_units:#{browser}") do |t|
t.libs << "lib"
t.pattern = 'test/*_test.rb'
t.verbose = true
t.warning = true
t.opts = "BROWSER=\"#{browser}\""
task :run_tasks => [:create_tasks]
task :run_tasks => browsers.map { |e| "selenium_units:"+ e }
I'd really like to be able to read that BROWSER= in the setup of my Suites or Cases. Any suggestions or is there plainly a better way of doing this in Ruby?

Buprenorphine Training and Integration Webinar Series, Part 1

The intersection of opioid use and HIV is well documented. More than one-third of all AIDS cases in the U.S. are directly or indirectly linked to injection drug use. Additionally, dependence and abuse of pain relievers is on the rise; people living with HIV/AIDS who suffer from chronic pain may be at particular risk. Opioids are highly addictive and mortality among illicit opioid users is estimated at 13 times that of the general population. The SPNS Buprenorphine Initiative investigated the effectiveness of integrating buprenorphine opioid abuse treatment into HIV primary care settings.
This Webcast is the first in a series under the new SPNS Integrating HIV Innovative Practices project to assist providers in replicating SPNS work in their sites. This Webcast will introduce providers to the SPNS Buprenorphine Initiative, its findings, its synergy with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, and provide an overview of opioid use and HIV.
Subsequent Webcasts in the series will examine the clinical aspects of buprenorphine therapy, best practices, and implementation guidance. See also Integrating Buprenorphine Therapy Into HIV Primary Care Settings, a monograph on best practices.

Anyway, some of you might have heard of the new move, "The Last Airbender". Well, it was one of my favorite t.v shows when it was airing in Nick, so I though "why not to a tutorial on Aang" Personally, I think the movie is going to be trash compared to the amine, but I haven't seen it, so yeahhh. Anyway, have fun drawing chibi Aang!

A Leavenworth woman accused of leaving her baby alone in an alley failed to report in while on bond as she was supposed to, a court official said.
District Judge Gunnar Sundby raised the issue at the conclusion of a hearing Thursday for Elizabeth A. Michaud.
Michaud, who is charged with aggravated endangering a child, was released on her own recognizance Jan. 25. She's required to be on bond supervision.
Sundby said he'd received a report that Michaud has never shown up as part of her supervision requirement.
Michaud's attorney, Elaine Halley, said there was a communication problem.
Sundby said the defendant needed to report to Court Services, which is located in the same building as his courtroom. The judge said at the end of Thursday's hearing that he would send an email to a Court Services official to report that Michaud was on her way.
Michaud is accused of leaving her infant son alone May 3 in an alley in Leavenworth. Authorities believe she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol the night of the incident.
Thursday's hearing was held for the purpose of taking up pretrial motions. The trial is scheduled for Feb. 25.

Can someone suggest a RHEL-like distribution that can install from a single CD? I am looking for a distribution where services are started from
/etc/init.d, environment variables are set from scripts in
/etc/profile.d and so-on (meaning that Ubuntu doesn't do the job).
A network installer isn't an option...
I think in terms of the OS's behaviour, CentOS would do the trick, except I can't find a single CD installation.
Any suggestions?

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- More than 2,000 school children along with Fort Riley soldiers and local veterans took part in a parade Friday through downtown Manhattan.. an event that paid tribute to troops both past and present.
The theme for the annual Veterans Day Celebration, hosted by the city of Manhattan and the Flint Hills Veterans Coalition, was: "Treasure Your Freedom, Honor Our Veterans."
"It's important that we don't forget those who have served. We are a military community. We're very proud of all those that have served. You'll see a lot of our veterans going by and they're still proudly wearing their uniforms," said Lori Bishop, president of the Flint Hills Veterans Coalition.
Film crews from the USA Network were also on hand to capture a performance our national anthem sung by Fort Riley spouses.
It's for a show called "The Choir" that starts in February which highlights groups in society that might not get the attention and recognition they deserve.
Producers say the very first episode will be dedicated to military spouses from Fort Riley. The episodes that will follow will touch on other segments of society like the elderly, firefighters and children, they said.
British choir director Gareth Malone told WIBW: "I'm going around the country starting choirs in all sorts of different situations-places where people don't sing together. And I've come to Fort Riley to find lots and lots of military spouses who perhaps did a bit of a boost. I think they need to be heard because let's face it- we all talk about the troops and quite rightly so. We celebrate everything they do and have this huge respect for the forces over here but the wives and the husbands who are left behind- I don't think they get enough attention and they deserve a voice too."
"They surprised the spouses this morning. They didn't know they were coming here. They thought they were at a rehearsal," Bishop said.
Malone did a similar show in England which included a performance for the Queen.
"To be part of the patriotic attitude of the Americans and the way you celebrate and you honor your troops- and I hope now you'll honor your military spouses as well- it's just fantastic. It's just a really exciting thing to be a part of," he added.
During a commemorative program after the parade at Manhattan City Hall, Fort Riley's senior commander Brigadier General Don MacWillie called our veterans "treasures," adding that our country now has the largest population of young veterans ever. Statistically, he says the number of veterans in Riley and Geary County will double as the Army downsizes and more soldiers enter the civilian world.
"On this day that we honor our veterans, I charge each of you to support programs that support our veterans. We must advocate on behalf of our veterans… A nation rallies for its troops during a time of war but it's a great nation that rallies and stands behind its veterans when they come home," MacWillie told the crowd.
"May we never forget those who've sacrificed for us. May we remember those who currently serve. May our nation always cherish those who live by the motto that I love so much: 'No mission is too difficult, no sacrifice is too great.' They are our veterans," he added.


text: 13 February 2012 archive See all show photos DONNA KARAN'S collections are constant reminders of what it means to be a woman. The ethos of her entire brand has been to delve into, and explore, the complexities and contradictions of the female sex. This season she traded in her sensual, signature piece - the draped jersey dress - in favour for something that might come as a surprise. The starting point here was men's suiting, with an emphasis on the ever-masculine tuxedo. First looks were comprised of variations on the classic banker's pinstripe suit, double-breasted and with wide lapels - as a strong shouldered topcoat or a blazer paired with a wrapped skirt. A dazzling red, shown on a hair-calf redingote, was buttoned-up but seductive - we were still in girl territory. The dresses shown had an architectural, sculpted feel, as though the fabric - black matte crepes - had been simply moulded around the models' bodies. Though there was a starchy firmness to these dresses, the lines were curvilinear as they enveloped the body, never obscuring it. Karan mentioned architecture as one of her many inspirations, and one can see Frank Gehry's undulating visions translated here. Another clever motif was the cummerbund, which began as a jaunty belt option, but developed into a wrapped bodice. This is not to say that the collection didn't have its feminine moments - because it did in fabulous, shaggy fur coats, Karan's staple jersey dress, and sequined eveningwear - all undeniably womanly. To hit the point home, the models floated by for the finale to an unofficial female anthem: Whitney Houston's I'm Every Woman.

Radiation Exposure Only Cause of Thyroid Cancer?
Last Modified: August 14, 2012
Is it true you can only get thyroid cancer if you had some exposure to radiation?
Rachel Kelz, MD, MSCE, at Penn Medicine responds:
Unfortunately, that is not true. Radiation is a risk factor for thyroid cancer however, MOST people who develop thyroid cancer have not been exposed to excessive amounts of radiation.

How can I use Windows apps like Turbo C++ on Ubuntu? Wine says "not applicable on your PC", or something like that.
I need to specifically use Turbo C++ on Ubuntu for my coursework.
Have a look at these questions, there are many great tools for programming described:
What is a good text editor for developing code on?
What IDEs are available for Ubuntu?
I hope you will find there something that suits your needs! :)
If you're making a larger program, it might be helpful to use CMake. This will let you use some simple scripting of CMake which will let you generate a solution for your C++ project. CMake can generate solutions for Visual Studio, Codeblocks, and other IDE systems. It is also cross-platform which will allow you to work and develop the code on any operating system you use.
Use command line, gcc is the best, it helps you learn programming and debugging. Use an editor like gedit, save the file then compile using command line.
You can use an editor like QtCreator or NetBeans. Turbo C++ doesn't have a lot of non standard libraries so you should be Ok using QtCreator or NetBeans with the GCC compiler instead of Turbo C++ compiler. Sure, if you need libraries like: graphics.h or conio.h you would not find them on Linux and I don't recommend you to get used to this libraries, you will have hard time when you will get out to the real world...
I would suggest using Clang or GCC instead. Much more modern and current than Turbo C++, and can run natively on Linux.
Clang in particular is a pleasure to use if you are studying either C or C++ since it's error messages and warnings are much easier to understand.

- abstract
Economics and management science share the tradition of ordering risk aversion by fitting the best expected utility (EU) model with a certain utility function to individual data, and then using the utility curvature for each individual as the sole index of risk attitude. (Cumulative) Prospect theory (CPT) has demonstrated various empirical deficiencies of EU and introduced the weighting of probabilities as an additional component to capture risk attitude. However, if utility curvature and probability weighting were strongly correlated, the utility curvature in EU alone, while not properly describing risky behavior in general, would still capture most of the variance regarding degrees of risk aversion. This study shows, however, that such a strong correlation does not exist. Though, most individuals exhibit concave utility and convex probability weighting, the two components show no correlation. Thus neglecting one component entails a loss.

My bike doesn't want to turn over. It ran just fine last week, but something has changed. I have enough power with a new battery and I can hear the motorcycle trying to turn over. The exhaust pipe puts out some exhaust, but the engine won't take over. When this first happened, the bike ran for about 4 seconds and then it would die. Now, it won't turn over at all. I don't know what to diagnose as the problem. Tips? Thanks.

Your description was really vague, but here is some thoughts. From what I gather, engine does turn over (i.e. it actually spins), just does not start.
For the engine to start, you need two major ingredients: fuel and spark. Obvious first things is to check if fuel is in the tank, and pet-cock is open (if available). Spark can be checked by taking the spark plug out, putting electrode to the engine block with wire on (careful to stay insulated to avoid shock), and cranking the engine to see if spark appears. By the condition of the plug you can also see if the engine was flooded with fuel (that is why there is a pet-cock on carburetted engines).
If these obvious things check out, see if the fuel gets to the cylinders. Close the pet-cock, disconnect the hose, open the pet-cock, see if fuel goes through. Repeat the procedure down the line all the way to intake ports.
Those are basic engine no-start troubleshooting steps. Other than that, we need more information: how well was it working before, what is your experience with motorcycles, and how long have you owned it? Was it just out of storage (if that, was the fuel drained or stabilized?), or used regularly? Was it maintained well? Etc. etc.

Counting Down the Days Til Brooklyn
UNIONDALE, N.Y.—The countdown has already begun for Chris King, a Long Island native, resident and longtime Islanders fan who is in his third season as the team's play-by-play radio announcer.
"The Kinger," as practically everyone around Nassau Coliseum calls him, is mentioning on his postgame shows how many regular-season games are left to be played at the dowdy but beloved arena before the team moves to Brooklyn in 2015.
After Monday night's home game against the Carolina Hurricanes, a 6-4 Islanders loss, the count was down to an even 100. Eighteen more games this year, then 41 in each of the next two years, and then, after 43 years, the Islanders will head to Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Until then, this struggling franchise—which missed the playoffs the past five seasons—trudges on, playing out the first of three lame-duck seasons at the Coliseum.
"I think there's a nostalgic part of it for people who go back to day one with this team, like I do," King said. "When you get closer to that final home game, even that final season at the Coliseum, the enthusiasm level will go up, with everybody trying to get there one last time."
For now, the Islanders will make do with the frumpy old barn with the terrific sight lines but tight corridors and even tighter seats. The Coliseum has been brightened, somewhat, by colorful banners outside and new signage inside, but it is as outmoded as ever.
The Islanders won only one of their first five games this season at the Coliseum, sliding to 29th in the 30-team NHL with an average attendance of 13,395 before Monday's game, which drew a season-low 9,622. Only the Phoenix Coyotes (12,348) have lured fewer fans. But the team says the arena hasn't affected its play or the crowds.
"Anywhere, it's the same," said Islanders captain Mark Streit, who is in his fifth year with the team. "When you win, more people come to the games. You make the playoffs, you sell more tickets. But we still have to do that."
In fact, when Charles B. Wang, who has owned the team since 2000, announced in October that the Islanders were moving to Brooklyn after a futile, nine-year attempt to replace the Coliseum, the team felt a sense of relief. The long battle was over.
The Islanders, who plan to keep their name and colors, will move into a state-of-the-art arena that might not be in Nassau or Suffolk counties, but is technically on Long Island. The Long Island Rail Road has a stop at Barclays Center. The team will continue to practice in Syosset.
"You look back at what Mr. Wang tried to do trying to keep the team here—and exhausted all avenues doing it," said Jack Capuano, the Islanders' coach. "Give him credit for that. He's still keeping the team in the area. So it doesn't have any effect on us, on the team, coaches or players, because we know we're going to be in the area."
Attendance is actually up: The Islanders were dead last in attendance two years ago, averaging 11,059. Kimber Auerbach, an Islanders spokesman, said season-ticket sales are higher than a year ago.
The franchise continues to make offbeat news. Lubomir Visnovsky, a defenseman acquired from the Anaheim Ducks, took his time reporting to the team after the NHL lockout ended last month. The Islanders traded for goaltender Tim Thomas last week, even though he doesn't plan to play this year. They did so because they needed to reach the league's $44 million salary minimum.
The Islanders, who won four consecutive Stanley Cups from 1980 to 1983, haven't won a playoff series since 1993 and haven't even been to the playoffs since 2007, when journeyman goaltender Wade Dubielewicz led them on a late hot streak.
This season, the Islanders won four of their first seven games, then lost four in a row and entered Monday in 13th place in the Eastern Conference. But they are young and healthy and think they can turn it around.
"There's still a lot of hockey to be played, and, as short as the season is, if we get our points, we can get in," said center John Tavares, the 2009 first-overall draft choice. "We know we've got to get some results, but we've got to stick with it. I think we're right there."
Because the Islanders, like every other NHL team, are facing an abbreviated and compressed schedule, Capuano said Rick DiPietro, the often-injured goaltender the Islanders signed to a much-criticized 15-year contract in 2006, was to start Monday. He allowed five goals on 30 shots.
Evgeni Nabokov, the starter, had played in seven games in 15 days, Capuano said, and the 31-year-old DiPietro, who played in only eight games last year after undergoing sports-hernia surgery, had worked hard for another chance.
And that is the focus around here: the next game in the Kinger's countdown. Forward Kyle Okposo, another former first-round draft choice, smiled when he said of Brooklyn, "We haven't even thought about it. We're here just to play hockey."

Let $\mathfrak{F}(0)$ be the set of all bijections $\mathbb{N}\mapsto\mathbb{N}$, and let $\mathfrak{F}(n+1)$ be the set of all bijections $\mathfrak{F}(n)\mapsto\mathfrak{F}(n)$. Given $\alpha\in\mathfrak{F}(n)$, is there a lower bound on the cardinality of $C_{\mathfrak{F}(n)}(\alpha)$, the centralizer of $\alpha$? Of course, since $C_{\mathfrak{F}(n)}(I)=\mathfrak{F}(n)$, where $I$ is the identity, the cardinality of the centralizer can be the same as that of $\mathfrak{F}(n)$. So the question is, is it possible to, using the axiom of choice as necessary, exhibit $\alpha\in\mathfrak{F}(n)$ such that $|C_{\mathfrak{F}(n)}(\alpha)|<|\mathfrak{F}(n)|$? Or, making things a little more concrete, is it possible to create $f:\mathbb{R}\mapsto\mathbb{R}$, a bijection, such that $|C_{\mathfrak{F}(1)}(f)|<|2^{\mathbb{R}}|$?
As far as I understand, the answer is negative (assuming $n>0$). It is easy to prove the following:
Claim. Let $X$ be an uncountable set. Let $G$ be the group of all bijections $X\to X$. Then for any $g\in G$, its centralizer $Z(g)\subset G$ satisfies $|Z(g)|=|G|$. (This implies the claim, since all of $\mathfrak{F}(n)$ are uncountable.)
Proof. It suffices to show that $|Z(g)|\ge|G|$. Consider the partition of $X$ into orbits under the action of $g$. Each orbit is identified with a cyclic group ${\mathbb Z}/n{\mathbb Z}$ ($n\ge 0$) with $g$ acting as the shift by one. Since there are countably many isomorphism types of orbits, and each has countably many elements, there exists a particular $n\ge 0$ such that the corresponding set of orbits $X_n$ of this type has $|X_n|=|X|$. Now it is easy to see that the map from $Z(g)$ to the bijections of $X_n$ is surjective. (And hence the cardinality of $Z(g)$ is at least the cardinality of the group of bijections of $X_n$.)

Our patients have amazing accounts of hope and resilience. Read their stories.
Your gifts help us push the boundaries of cancer treatment. Ways to Give
Chemotherapy, or "chemo," as it is more commonly called, uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells, control their growth and relieve pain symptoms. Although surgery and radiation therapy destroy or damage cancer cells in targeted areas, chemo works throughout your entire body, attacking cancer cells that have metastasized, or spread, from the tumor to other parts of the body.
Although chemo may involve just one drug, two or more drugs are often used in combination chemotherapy, depending on the type of cancer and its rate of progression. There are numerous chemo drugs with different mechanisms of actions that, when combined, work synergistically to effectively kill more cancer cells and reduce the chance that the cancer becomes resistant to one specific drug.
The type of chemo and drugs each patient will receive is based on the shared goals of both patient and physician, which might include:
Chemo treatment schedules vary – it may be given once a day, week, or month depending on your type of cancer, how advanced it is, your chemo drugs and your body's reaction to the drugs. Chemo is usually given in cycles – a period of treatment followed by a period of rest. This break gives your body time to rebuild healthy new cells and helps you regain your strength.
Although in some circumstances chemotherapy may be your only cancer treatment, sometimes it will be given along with surgery, radiation therapy or immunotherapy. Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy makes a tumor smaller before surgery or radiation therapy; adjuvant chemotherapy destroys cancer cells that may remain after surgery or radiation therapy.
Typical side effects of chemotherapy include fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, hair loss, confusion, depression, infection and anemia. These usually go away once the chemotherapy treatment cycle is finished.
Chemotherapy can be given in several ways:
At UC San Diego Health System, chemotherapy is used to treat most cancers.
Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), often called a 'chemo bath,' is a solution that is circulated in the abdominal area after an abdominal tumor has been surgically removed. The solution has been heated to about 106 degrees and circulates in the peritoneal cavity for about 90 minutes. Once the time is up, the surgeon removes the solution and closes the incision. HIPEC is available at only a handful of leading U.S. cancer centers. Studies have shown that heat works especially well with chemotherapy to kill tumor cells, which have an impaired ability to deal with heat. In normal chemotherapy, the drugs diffuse within a few millimeters. In HIPEC, a higher concentration of chemotherapy is used and is able to penetrate deeper into bulky tissue for greater tumor cell kill.
See more information about HIPEC at Moores Cancer Center.

The title says it all. Despite heavy googling I have not been able to find anything. What I am interested in, is theory (maybe modelling), not for the moment finite difference methods as approximations to partial differential equations! Books, papers, webpages, ....
Partial Difference Equations by Sui Sun Cheng? A good start (in the context of reading the classics) is the paper by Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy. Also useful is a list with more books.
For the non-partial case, I must admit I have a soft spot for Milne-Thompson's book.
I don't have a complete answer, but the math physics literature has many papers on "discrete Schrödinger operators," which are partial difference operators on a discrete space. These are analyzed in their own right, not as an approximation of some continuum model. Look for "discrete Schrödinger operators." Also look for "tight binding approximation" or "tight binding Schrödinger operators." Also try spelling Schrödinger as Schroedinger.
I don't know of a "canonical reference" along the lines of Evans for PDE's, say. On the other hand, the basic theory of discrete difference operators (existence, uniqueness, etc.) is usually easier since there are no local regularity issues.
There are a couple of books that describe how asymptotic methods developed for differential equations can be extended to difference equations
Bender Orszag Advanced Math methods points out that even the simplest nonlinear difference eqns are rarely exactly solvable and also do not exhibit movable singularities (unlike PDE). No general procedure exists to determine local behavior of nonlinear difference equation. There are very few techniques for closed form solns. Some of the widely applicable techniques are substitution, use of known nonlinear functional relations and use of generating functions.
Holmes in Perturbation Methods Sec 4.8, 3.9 and 2.7 discusses how WKB, multiple scales and matched asymptotic expansion can be applied to solve difference equations.
See also http://www.math.niu.edu/~rusin/known-math/99/difference_eq for two books which lucubrate on the analogy between difference and differential equations

I badly want to learn touch-typing because it will enable me not to look at the keyboard when typing and will increase my typing speed in the long run. But I face one problem which is related to "in the long run":
With my "hunt-and-peck" system, I am reasonably fast over 350 characters-per-minute. With touch-typing right now I type little over 100 cpm. The thing is, during work I must keep my speed around the 300 cpm mark, otherwise I simply can not produce the amount of text necessary to get my job done everyday.
So what happens is this: I train a little touch-typing in the evening and several hours every weekend. But Monday-Friday I type ~8 hours with hunt-and-peck out of necessity.
It's like two system fighting in my head. I really want to make the full switch to touch-typing, but this would entail a temporary productivity drop which, although it would be very beneficial in the long-run, I simply can not afford.
Is there anyone here who made the switch from very fast hunt-an-peck typer to touch-typer, and at the same time had a demanding job where he needs to keep high typing speed? How can I can out of this catch-22?

The metaphysics of playing music
By Austin Weaver 03/14/2013
My wise mother once told me, "Sincerity is not the name of the game."
What do the following songs have in common?
"Happiness Is a Warm Gun"
"Needle in the Hay"
"In Bloom"
All I can say is that they're not songs about bullshit. And from experience, I can also say that I used to not know what they meant.
Who am I, do you wonder? I am consciousness on paper and you are reading my thoughts at this time. Now these thoughts are your thoughts. I am typing these words in order to raise awareness concerning music and musicianship. A lot of thought, frustration, living and yelling/being yelled at has gone into what I am endeavoring to impart to you, so please indulge in this sentiment:
Just love. Love yourself. Love your family. Love your friends. Love your neighbors. Love the world. Love all things. I couldn't think of more sage/trite advice, though it is sincere. As a musician, I put my heart into everything. You must awaken. Search your mind and your feelings for the ring of truth in what you are reading.
If you are a musician as well, I applaud you. I love you. And like a loving parent, I'll scold you for something I have assumed that you have been guilty of in the past. Ready for it? Arrogance.
Where is the honor in doing anything half-assed under the pretense of being authentic?
I speak as a man already tried and convicted, time served. I have no attachment to your opinion of me. I am making music as the only expression I know that has the power to empower. I love words — passionate or wry, pleading or out of spite and rage. That is why I am conversing with you now (looking forward to your response, if you feel so inclined).
What does it all mean? What's the message I wish to convey?
Be respectful with yourself, your craft, your audience, your band and your fellow local musicians.
Arrogance, losing your shit, and judging yourself and others will get you nowhere in this thing. Be a humble and loyal light to all. Persist with awareness of self and compassion for others. Play that song and play it well. If you can't without arrogance, hate or the inclination to inflict harm, just quit. No joke. No hidden message. Just relieve us of your noise — we don't want you here, 'cause this thing is life and we take it seriously. We have no time for distractions (though we may make time for the ones that feed our egos' desires).
Why not record yourself practicing? Listen to it. Play it for friends and strangers alike. Sing, scream, and dance your ass off for these people. They are all you have.
Scratch that. The attention of people you are with is all you have as a performer. Read between the lines. Get the message and yell it out as an artistic expression of who you are and not as an assertion of your worldview.
Nope — I take that back — do not take anything personally. Do not make another accepting your viewpoint the emotional and egotistic aim of your words. Do no harm. Inflict no pain. We need more kindness in this life, don't we?
The implications are all there, but it takes an awareness of humility, compassion, moderation and patience. It takes conscious effort. It takes discernment to figure it all out, but don't try...

The upper rotator on M1 cannot support long lens, like 200 or longer. It does not have marks smaller than 7.5 degrees.
So far as I know there will be an upgrade but what exactly it will be ? Will there be new upper rotator with smaller degree marks?
I need to know to plan ahead, to go for NN5 or wait for upgrade.
