Is anyone else old enough to remember that classic TV advertisement Cher did for Jack LaLanne Fitness Centers? The provocatively clad Cher remarks, "If it came in a bottle, everyone would have a great body."
Jack LaLanne Health Spa Commercial with CHER
It's interesting to note that Jack LaLanne is no longer around but Cher sure is. She's still out there working it at sixty-four!
The point of the ad—anything worth having takes effort—is appropriate to many common challenges in the more mundane world of business. Recently I've been thinking about the pervasiveness of siloed or stove-piped organizations and how challenging it is to get teams of people working across functional lines and outside of established frameworks. Of course, many see the benefits of this but breaking old habits is hard work and takes committed, concerted effort.
Social Networking and the tools that enable it can be an effective solution to the problem of siloed organizations. Information and resource siloes occur for many reasons but the principle reason is they are just plain easier to manage. Functional heads act as gatekeepers of information, employees are instructed to "stay in their lane", information flows up and down the line or is made accessible on a "need to know" basis. For organizations that are geographically dispersed, the effect is more pronounced and the flow of information or the availability of shared resources poses an even greater challenge. More often than not the effort of cross-functional teamwork just doesn't happen, because it is just "too hard."
So, yes, matrix-style, non-siloed organizations can be more difficult to manage and introduce new layers of complexity and perhaps a certain measure of uncertainty and risk. But in my experience there are a few steps companies can take to "ease the pain" of breaking down established organizational hierarchies and tap into the creative power of the organization at large:
1) Organize key initiatives around cross-functional project teams. Most big projects require the efforts of staff across the entire organization, but too often, results are tracked and evaluated within the functional framework and priorities. But when project teams are established, with goals and milestones clearly understood, collaboration and problem solving can happen more seamlessly.
2) Reward employees thinking and working outside of information silos. Breaking the habit of siloed thinking requires a cultural shift in some companies. Everyone throughout the organization needs to see that cross-functional effort is valued and rewarded. Lessons learned—both positive and negative need to be captured and shared.
3) Set boundaries & define roles. A matrixed organization is not a license for anarchy. Team members still need to have clearly defined roles everyone needs to know who is in the role of decision-maker, and who is mainly in the assist role. If everyone thinks they are merely contributing to the project, but not ultimately accountable for anything, chaos can ensue.
4) If there is friction, or if toes get stepped on, try not to sweat it. Business can be a contact sport and there is bound to be a little body-checking from time-to-time. Things can get heated at times but learn to accept that this is part of progress.
5) Cross-train as many people in your organization as possible. I am a huge proponent of cross-training. It can have the profound effect of breaking people out of siloed thinking. It broadens employees skill sets, creates a more resilient organization and promotes a more stimulating work environment. It's hard, and even disruptive, but it pays big dividends.
6) Make sure your organization has the right tools to enable Social Networking and cross-functional teamwork. Here at Strategic Social, we understand the importance of technology for streamlining and enabling a cross-functional culture. For example, MediaMAS is a robust web-accessible, permission-based database is essential for getting far-flung teams "on the same page." Likewise the Strategic Social Platform is communication and collaboration portal, designed to facilitate information dissemination, and speed-up decision-making. It features a customizable dashboard that provides access to shared files, discussion boards, and feeds to external sources such as RSS, Flicker, Twitter and YouTube.
None of these steps is a guarantee for success. There are organizations out there that succeed at some level with the same structured, siloed habits they've had for decades. But they will find it increasingly difficult to compete with matrix organizations that are learning and refining the art of working across clearly defined verticals. It can be hard work. Not everyone is going to do it. But the organizations that perfect the skills will be better equipped for the long-haul.

I'm making a doppelbock with an ale yeast, so I'm fermenting in the mid- to upper 60s. It's 11 days in and all the krausen is gone. The top is speckled with what appears to be bright white yeast colonies. Do I wait to bottle until those are gone? I don't have a hydrometer, so I don't know the gravity situation. I don't see any bubbling or particles moving around, like I could for the first week. The instructions for the recipe simply say to let it ferment a minimum of 2 weeks. Will I hurt it by letting it ferment longer if the surface hasn't cleared up, or should I be safe to simply bottle at 2 weeks?
You will definitely not hurt it by letting it go longer. The only way to know if a beer is finished is to take a gravity reading. Not by bubbles, not by krausen, not by the calendar.
It is true that a hydrometer reading is likely the best way to tell. If you don't have a hydrometer wait till the yeast sediments to the bottom. Then it is wise to transfer to a secondary fermenter, which it sounds like you are not doing. Then wait till the yeast sediments out again and typically that is a great time to bottle. Another nice thing about putting the beer into secondary is that you can typically leave it there for 6 months and not have a problem.
In other words without a hydrometer and if you are unsure rack to secondary and let it sit until you are sure.

The 6 Most Spectacularly Failed Attempts to Look Cool
#3. The "Cool" Teacher Explodes Her Classroom
No matter where you went to school, chances are that at some point during your academic career you had that one teacher who prided him- or herself on being the "cool" one. Whether it was the English teacher who always tried (and miserably failed) to incorporate the latest teen slang into her lessons or the chemistry teacher who left a flaming bag of dog poo outside the algebra teacher's classroom as an "experiment," every school seems to have a teacher whose foremost goal is to earn the acceptance of people half his or her age.
At Western Reserve Academy, that teacher was Julie Pratt. Pratt taught chemistry, and she was easily the most lenient teacher at the uptight boarding school, leaving things like homework and strict grading to those other squares on the faculty. One of her students reported that Pratt never had them wear aprons or protective goggles for lab work, since they were "geeky-looking."
"If we pull out of the experiment before we finish, it's just as safe."
During one demonstration, Pratt had her 11-year-old son set four dishes containing different salts on fire so the students could see how each of them produced a different color flame. But the last dish wasn't producing an impressive enough display, and Pratt was not about to have that uncool bullshit in her classroom. So she grabbed a huge jug of wood alcohol and (we assume) told the students who had gathered around her desk to "hold on to their butts."
The Backfire:
It doesn't take a fancy chemistry degree to know that methanol plus open flame is the equation for A Very Bad Thing. The jug exploded into a 4-foot-wide ball of fire and stupidity, with students Cecilia Chen and Calais Weber taking the brunt of the explosion. Pratt heroically grabbed the classroom's only fire blanket and used it on her son, then told the rest of the students to haul ass out of there -- leaving Chen and Weber to fend for themselves.
Remember, kids, No Child Left Behind only applies to test scores.
The students would eventually be awarded a hefty settlement for their life-changing injuries, having spent years and countless surgeries to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Meanwhile, Pratt went right back to being the coolest teacher at Western Reserve Academy.
#2. Water-Powered Jet Pack Takes a Dive
If you watch local news shows, you're familiar with what they call the lead-in -- it's the mini-story at the opening of the show designed to grab your attention before they get to the actual news.
During the 2011 San Diego Yacht and Boat Show, a man named John was showing off his new toy, a water-powered jet pack called the Jetlev-Flyer, and reporter Matt Johnson of the FOX 5 San Diego Morning News team saw it as an opportunity for the perfect lead-in. A massive audience for John, a perfect opener for Matt's show -- it was a win-win!
The Backfire:
It all starts out swimmingly. Matt makes a flawless introduction and hands the mic over to John to kick off the show. To give him credit, John does manage to get his line out ("It starts right now!") as he launches himself directly toward Matt, who somehow manages to keep his professional news guy smile plastered on his face even as he's about to take a water-rocket to the sternum.
This is exactly how Walter Cronkite's career got started.
The camera quickly zooms out to capture John's triumphant Superman-esque launch into the sky, but instead he pulls an Aquaman straight into the San Diego Harbor.
Cut to the desk anchors, who are in the middle of having the exact same reaction as all the viewers at home:
Fortunately for John, the news team was able to stop snickering for long enough to cut back to him and let him show how the Jetlev-Flyer allowed him to whip around like an aquatic James Bond before continuing with the show. If you've always dreamed of having the ability to perform a jet-assisted belly flop on TV, you can get one of your very own for the bargain price of about a hundred grand.
#1. Captain's Ego Topples a Cruise Liner
Francesco Schettino, captain of the Costa Concordia, is a man known to have a weakness for beautiful women and a tendency to abandon the bridge during dangerous, illegal maneuvers that he himself ordered.
And also for being far too sexy for top buttons.
We're guessing you already know how this story ends: During a cruise in January of 2012, the Costa Concordia was following its usual route along the coast of Isola del Giglio, an island off the coast of Tuscany. But the captain wasn't content with simply floating by at a safe distance from the shoals -- oh no, he wanted to impress the islanders with his magnificent ship. So our gallant captain ordered his crew to make a close sweep of the island, blasting off the ship's whistle as they went by for the benefit of the tourists ashore.
And while his crew was busy putting his ship in mortal danger, Schettino was reportedly busy having dinner with a female acquaintance, presumably bragging about the dangerous captaining he was performing even as he (sexily) slurped up his appetizer.
The Backfire:
Well, unless you managed to completely avoid every major news outlet around the time of the incident, you remember exactly how that worked out:
Captain Schettino later claimed that he was "totally banking that shit."
Yeah, it turns out that islands tend to have stuff like reefs and rocks close to shore. Who knew? And those rocks are apparently just itching to pull a Titanic on any ship with a captain brave enough to maneuver too close.
So those asshole rocks went and spoiled the good captain's dinner by ripping a gaping 50-yard gash in the hull. After the initial impact, an officer told the passengers that they were only experiencing a minor electrical problem and that there were totally not thousands of gallons of seawater currently flooding into the lower compartments. But after it became clear that the ship was indeed royally fucked, Schettino sprang into action and did what any heroic captain would do under the circumstances: He got his ass into a lifeboat while there were still hundreds of passengers on board and refused to return to his post even after being repeatedly ordered to "stop being such an asshole" by the Italian Port Authority.

Rain over the weekend – and more on the way this week – suggest that local growers can breathe a sigh of relief and that last summer's devastating drought will not repeat itself.
Compared to the 2011 drought and heat wave that forced farmers to drain Bayou Bartholomew for irrigation purposes, the National Weather Service is forecasting more normal rainfall and temperatures from here on out.

He swam slowly to the island.
He slowly swam to the island.
Some experts say that there is a "slight difference" in meaning.
Would you please tell me that difference?
Some experts say that there is a "slight difference" in meaning.
Would you please tell me that difference?
Some might say that (1) emphasises the nature of the swimming and that (2) emphasises the insular destination. I'm not sure I would.
No. There is no difference in meaning. Manner adverbs like slowly can be slotted into a number of niches, depending, I suspect, more on how the speaker wants the sentence to sound, in terms of rhythm and intonation, than anything else.
However, this is not to say that those with their own view of proper language use might not believe that there is some such meaning difference, and that they understand what it is. And, as a public service, they will often tell you about this.
Since such individual views of proper language are all imaginary, they are individually quite different and often contradictory; this means that all that purposeful usage cancels out in the long run.
But, in the short run, anyone who gets used to the way some such person talks gets accustomed to such usages, and often comes to believe that they're universal. If enough people do so, they might in fact become universal. But there can be a lot of competition and pushback from people who don't talk that way. This is the ordinary way language changes.
These adverb positions aren't always completely interchangeable.
If you're explaining the reason for the slowness of his swimming, the adverb must come last. The second example below sounds slightly wrong to me (but would sound okay if "to the island" was replaced by a much longer phrase), and the third is clearly wrong.
When an adverb has a dual existance as a pragmatic marker (some would say a sentence adverb / adverbial), care has to be taken:
Clearly, he saw what was happening in the room. (pragmatic [modal] marker)
He clearly saw what was happening in the room. (ambiguous)
He saw clearly what was happening in the room. (manner [or is it degree?] adverb)
In Peter's examples, the third example (Because his leg was injured, he slowly swam to the island.) is grammatical with Because his leg was injured the reason for his swimming not his slowness.

Picks of the week!
Oops, something didn't work.
The video is a podcast?
Dan, you're usually eager to get to the tips of the week, that I'm not amused you forgot twice. It better be a couple of damn fine tips, or we'll digitally disown you. You'll never work in show business again.
What's a suitable penance? Only code in J# for a week.
I've been interested in knowing just how much latency there is when using a Windows Phone 7 device as a remote like that Media Center example or the T-Shirt Canon.
I'm assuming it would be possible to have a knob or slider on the phone send info about it's position to an app on a computer that has the same controls so they move at the same time then have the computer send back the information to the phone and measure how many milliseconds it took for the whole process.
Touch OSC seems to react remarkably fast for example.
@Kryptos - What do you mean?
@Adam - I didn't forget this time, I just didn't know I had to bring two picks of the week this week. *Please* don't make me code in J#, if I do that, the user base will double
Since the command is over HTTP, there are a couple of things you have to factor in - connection type, throughput (what are you sending), network traffic, how many commands you're sending, etc. Since our cannon was using accelerometer changes and since the accelerometer was firing ~50-60x/second, we added a filter to only fire 10x/second, and the time to build a http request and send it was pretty fast where you felt like driving it was responsive (maybe 150ms total)? The one thing I'd call out is that the initial lookup took a little more time as it would do a lookup via name (ex: http://betty/) instead of via IP address, but after that it was pretty fast. For TV, I think the only pain is that for things like HD channels, the TV takes a little bit of time to load the channel so it may feel a bit more sluggish than it actually is.
Yup, for Media Center, changing channels is probably the bottleneck so I doubt the latency of the whole setup would be noticeable at all.
For controlling anything music related it's really not acceptable to have latencies above what your standard game controller would have so it would probably need to be done slightly differently (more like the wayTouchOSC communicates with OSCulator).
TouchOSC works on iPhone and will be available on iPad and Android soon but I have a feeling they're just going to ignore Windows Phone 7.
I know it's possible to get completely un-noticeable latencies with an XBOX 360 controller because I've controlled MIDI devices with one before with the help of a little GlovePIE script I made which translates game controller info (usually Wii-Motes but it works with any kind of controller) into MIDI and sends to to a virtual midi port.
Best line of the week: "It's funny because you're fired."

$P$ is a system of polynomials in $n$ variables over $\mathbb{Q}$. $Q$ is a singe such polynomial. Let $V$ be the zeros of $Q$. I know from some symmetry argument that for every $y \in [0,1]^n \setminus V$ there are at least $k$ elements in $\{ x:\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}=\frac{P(y)}{Q(y)} \}$. I want to prove that, for $y$ in a Lebesgue measure 1 subset of $[0,1]^n$, there are in fact exactly $k$ elements.
In order to do this, I am trying to show that for any $y \in [0,1]^n \setminus (V \cup V_1)$ (where $V_1$ is some other variety to be determined/guessed from the example at hand), there are exactly $k$ elements in $\{ x:Q(y) P(x) =Q(x)P(y) \} \setminus V$.
I thought of casting $Q(y) P(x) =Q(x)P(y)$ as a system of polynomials in $2n$ variables, and taking the ideal quotient with respect to the solutions I already know (from the $k$ solutions and from $V$ and $V1$), but this proved too computationally intensive (I called Singular from Mathematica). In a simple example $n=8$, $P$ has 60+ polynomials, and the Groebner basis for $Q(y) P(x) =Q(x)P(y)$ has 500+ elements. Of course this first approach is very naive and in particular does not exploit the two levels of symmetry (the $k$ solutions and the $Q(y)P(x) =Q(x)P(y)$ rather than $H(x,y)=0$ bit).
While doing this I found myself always starting by solving $Q(x_0) P(x) =Q(x)P(x_0)$ for a particular "generic" $x_0$, to check that I had exactly $k$ solutions outside of $V$. This is of course computationally much much faster.
Hence my question:
- Can I formalize this intuition of genericity?
Of course, any comment, reference or alternative suggestion is welcome. Thanks!

can this be used with a ps3 ?
Yeah, I wanted to know the same thing!
Is this really a hot deal? I mean it's just the regular Dell website.
Cheapest price on Froogle (http://www.google.com/products?q=LOGITECH+LX710+Cordless+Laser+Desktop&scoring=p) is $38, then $40+
I just bought it online. I forgot to add the "special code" so I didn't get the entire discount. However, I still only paid like $31.50 for it with free shipping and handling. I think it's 29.99 on the site plus tax.
For a laser mouse it is a pretty good deal, but this is also a discontinued item as it is no longer listed on Logitechs web site.
Coupon code didn't work for me...
"can this be used with a ps3 ?"
A reviewer on the Dell site said range was bad = 5 feet, so prob wouldn't be good for a PS3.
Does anyone know the range on this? Just bought a similar GE wireless keyboard/mouse. Must be within 2 ft of the computer to work though.
You've got to start in the Dell Small Business Store for the $3 discount to be applied. http://www.dell.com/business
From there, do a search for "Logitech LX710" and you're good to go.
Thanks xboxer. This is a very good deal. It is listed on the Logitech European site for 80 euro dollars (about $120 US dollars). As indicated earlier you need to go to the Dell business site to get the additional $3 off. Still has free shipping as well.
Anyone have one of these? How's the battery life?
@jshickam: the battery life on the keyboard is horrible but the mouse is excellent even only on one battery (which there is an option for 2)... ive switched to a wired keyboard but the mouse is awesome ive had it for almost 3 years now and its awesome
$3 code did not work for me...I even tried dell bus.....
For the PS3 questions, try this: http://www.target.com/Logitech-EX100-Cordless-Desktop-Black/dp/B001AAK0P4/ref=br_1_19?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=15992151&node=15992151&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Logitech%20EX100%20Cordless%20Desktop%20Black
I bought this from Target. Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo for $20 last month. Works great with my PS3. I sit about 10 feet from the console. Haven't tried it from farther away yet. Great deal, high quality for the price.
Coupon code is not valid on this. Coupon code is: "10% off Select Unlocked Smartphones, GPS, Networking & FP's
Expires Sunday, November 29, 2009"

Text formatting (bold, italic), alignment (left, right, centered), and rotation of cell contents is retained. Cells spanning multiple columns and/or rows are supported. Border lines can be retained at the level of individual cells, or replaced with the style of formatting recommended by the booktabs package. The generated LaTeX code can also be placed in a floating table environment. The LaTeX code can be copied to the clipboard or saved as a LaTeX file, which then can be included in an existing LaTeX document using the \input command. You can also specify which ranges of your Excel workbook you want to convert into LaTeX, and convert them all at once as individual .tex files. This Excel add-in works best in Microsoft Office 2000 and later (on Windows). It also works in Office:mac (on Mac OS X), but see the "Known issues" section. SOURCE ~~~~~~ The development repository and the bug tracker for this package is hosted at https://launchpad.net/excel2latex . INSTALLATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just open the file Excel2LaTeX.xla in Excel. Then you will have two additional menu items in your "Tools" menu and a new toolbar with two buttons on it. For Excel 2007 and later, you will have two new buttons in the "Add-Ins" ribbon. If you plan to use the program frequently, you can save it in your addin directory and add it with Tools/Add-in. This way it will be loaded whenever Excel is opened. USAGE ~~~~~ Just select the table to convert and hit the button "Convert table to LaTeX". You will be given the option to save the result to a .tex file, or send it to the clipboard (so you can paste it into your LaTeX editor). Hit the "Store" button to store the current settings so you can "Load" them later or "Export all" to LaTeX. ANNOTATIONS ~~~~~~~~~~~ * Bold and italic are recognized as long as whole cell is in bold or italic. * Alignment formats (right, left, center) will be recognized for individual cells. * Cell border lines will be recognized for individual cells (with certain restrictions). * Font sizes are not supported, because they are handled completely different in TeX. * Cells spanning multiple columns and/or rows are supported. For this you have to merge the cells in Excel using the format/cells menu and selecting the alignment tab. * The characters %, &, and # are automatically replaced by LaTeX macros (e.g. \%), while \, $, _, and ^ can optionally be replaced. * You can put additional LaTeX formatting commands in the Excel cells, so you don't have to edit the output, if you want some special chars or formats. * The default file name for export is the name of the selected range (if it has one), otherwise it will be the name of the active Excel worksheet. * Stored tables: It is possible to store the Excel ranges that you want to convert into LaTeX, together with one set of options per range, in the workbook. Internally, the "list of stored tables" is kept on a hidden worksheet named "Excel2LaTeX", and hence is saved whenever you save your workbook. The table ranges corresponding to the stored tables are recorded as relative references in the hidden worksheet "Excel2LaTeX"; extensions, contractions or movements of a "stored table" will be reflected automatically. A list view containing the stored tables is shown on the right side of the main form. A double click on an item in the list of stored tables loads this table; alternatively, you can select the item and hit "Load". The buttons "Store" and "Overwrite" allow inserting a new or overwriting an existing stored table. The "Delete" button deletes a selected stored table without prompt. The "Export all" button converts all selected ranges to LaTeX and writes one .tex file -- don't forget to configure file names properly! In addition, the new toolbar button and menu item "Convert all stored tables to LaTeX" call the macro LaTeXAllToFiles that also triggers this process.

BUGS ~~~~ Please report bugs via the bug tracker at https://launchpad.net/excel2latex . CHANGES ~~~~~~~ Version 3.3: Released on 27 Sep 2012 * Bug fix: Doesn't crash when trying to start conversion when an entire line is selected. * Bug fix: Better conversion of backslashes: '\textbackslash{}' instead of '\textbackslash ' * Performance: Improvements by avoiding unnecessary calls to Excel objects Version 3.2: Released on 26 Mar 2012 * Bug fix: Finally restored compatibility with Office Mac * Bug fix: Do not add extra alignment tab after \multicolumn{}{} Version 3.1: Released on 19 May 2011 * If the column width is set to 0, each cell occupies a separate line in the output file * In booktabs mode, no vertical space is inserted before the top row anymore * Bug fix: Restored compatibility with Office 2000 and Office Mac * Bug fix: Form is protected against erroneous entries Version 3.0: Released on 17 Nov 2010 * CAVEAT: The toolbar buttons and menu items from previous versions of Excel2LaTeX are not deleted automatically. * CAVEAT: Depending on the formatting of your table, you might require the following packages not required before: - bigstrut - rotating - multirow * Stored tables: See annotations above. * More cell formatting options are used in the converted table. - Cells with rotated contents are supported. Requires the "rotating" package. - Multirow and multirow-multicolumn cells are supported. Requires the "multirow" package. - A cell formatted as bold and containing inline math formulae is typeset in bold using \boldmath and \unboldmath. * More precise typesetting of cell borders in non-booktabs mode. - A column is assumed to have a vertical border if there is a border in any row of this column. Cells with a vertical border different from the default or without vertical border are typeset using the \multicol command, specifying the border type for this cell. If both single and double lines are present in one column, a double line is assumed as default for this column. - Horizontal rules are typeset using \cline if they do not go straight through from left to right. Double horizontal lines are converted to single lines in this case. - \bigstrut commands are inserted where appropriate. The number of struts required for a multirow cell is computed correctly. Requires the "bigstrut" package. * Bug fix: The type of the left border of a multicolumn cell is determined correctly (in non-booktabs mode). * Improved file name handling. - The target .tex file will be stored in the directory of the Excel worksheet by default. - If the target .tex file resides in the directory of the worksheet or in a subdirectory, a relative path to the file is stored. * The main form is now modeless. The worksheet can be edited while the form is open. - Changes to the contents of the selection are tracked, the LaTeX table in the text box is updated automatically. Changes to cell formatting (font style, borders) are not tracked. - The current selection can be set as source range for the current conversion to LaTeX by hitting the large button at the top of the dialog. * The main form shows up always, even if no range or a multi-area range is selected. Version 2.3: Released on 16 Nov 2010 * Bug fix: In Office 2007, no error is raised after opening a document anymore. * Bug fix: When writing the TeX file, no additional newline is appended. Spurious spaces may produce unwanted results. Version 2.2: Released on 29 Sep 2010 * Save and load settings to/from registry. * Bug fix: do not add two command buttons to the ribbons in Excel 2007 and later. * Bug fix: use \textbf and \textit instead of \bf and \it. * Bug fix: do not use vertical borders for multicolumn environment for booktabs tables. * Bug fix: correctly determine LaTeX column borders if Excel cell borders are set only for the top and/or left border. * Internal: avoid copying the range to a hidden worksheet before converting it to LaTeX. * Internal: various code refactorings. Version 2.1: Released on 18 Sep 2008 * Better character replacement: the previous version only replaced the first occurrence of $ or % in a cell. * Optionally generate a table environment, format the table in the style of the 'booktabs' LaTeX package, and/or add extra leading indent spaces. * Better interactivtiy (no refresh button required). * Bug fix: the previous version would damage formulas that referred to cells outside the selection. Version 2.0: Released on 21 Jul 2001 This version is based on modifications by Germán Riaño * Graphical user interface * The LaTeX code can be copied to clipboard and then pasted into you editor. * Better handling of multicolum cells * doublelines on top border are now handled Version 1.2: Published on 22 Nov 1998 * The characters % and $ are now converted to the correspondig LaTeX makros Version 1.1: Published on 12 Apr 1997 * Some small changes to make it run with Excel 97 too Version 1.0: First published version, Oct 22 1996 OLD RELEASES ~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access older releases of this add-on, please visit https://code.launchpad.net/excel2latex .

By AMY BOARD HIGGS
Special to The Voice-Tribune
Amanda Wells Keith firmly believes that planning for the unfortunate circumstance of death is the greatest gift of love anyone can give to his or her family.
"It makes things smoother and simpler to preplan," said Keith, director of family services for Pearson's Funeral Directors in St. Matthews. "It gives families time to really grieve together. They don't have to deal with the business aspect of funeral planning during the fog of grief."
A lithe 30-year-old blond and 10-year veteran of the funeral business, Keith is a down-to-earth, humble, consummate professional who chose her career simply because she wanted to be of service.
"This can be a very tiring job, a very demanding job," she said. "But it's also the most rewarding job. There was no doubt that was exactly what I wanted to do."
Keith grew up on a horse farm in the Lexington area. In 2002, she was studying journalism at University of Kentucky and working as a certified nursing assistant in local nursing and rehab facilities when she met with a Lexington deputy coroner – also a family friend – who introduced her to several local funeral directors.
Keith had been waffling about whether she wanted to pursue broadcast journalism, and her time working in health care had proven she was not at all squeamish. She was immediately drawn to the compassionate career of a funeral director, despite its history as a male-dominated career. Keith began shadowing the funeral directors she'd met, learning how to embalm.
After her initial training, she started out as a funeral director and embalmer at Milward Funeral Directors in Lexington in 2004, and earned her associate's degree in mortuary science from Mid-America College in Jeffersonville in 2005. She later earned a bachelor's degree in management from Ottawa University in Jeffersonville in 2008. She went to work for Owen Funeral Home in Louisville from 2006 until March of 2012, when she joined Pearson's. She is licensed in Kentucky and Indiana.
Prior to joining Pearson's, Keith worked with families "at need," or at the time of a family member's death. As director of family services for Pearson's, Keith primarily works with families on pre-planning their funeral services. She also serves as liaison for all media outlets, leads all company events and speaks regularly to civic, church and school groups on topics surrounding end-of-life arrangements.
Keith is passionate about the work she does and treasures the connections she has made and maintained with many families during her career. She has been deeply impacted by many of them, especially in cases of violent death or those who died far too young.
"I am so lucky to have worked with so many great families in the past 10 years that have not only accepted me but also inspired and motivated me, and been very appreciative," she said. "Our service doesn't end at the cemetery. I feel fortunate that I can still be in contact with a lot of my families."
Keith also knows firsthand what it's like to plan the funeral of a loved one and how vital a funeral director's role can be. Several years ago, she handled the services for her grandfather, who died unexpectedly, with no planned arrangements in place.
"I plan funerals every day, sometimes four times a day, and this what I am licensed and educated in," Keith said. Planning her grandfather's funeral was incredibly difficult, even with her training. "So I can only imagine the difficulties other families face, whether they are prepared or not."
As a woman in a traditionally male field, Keith has faced some opposition in her career, but most of her experiences with both male and female colleagues have been very positive. She is the first female funeral director at Pearson's, but she is quick to add that she has worked with "so many great female funeral directors"
in previous positions.
Keith points to the natural nurturing qualities typical of many women as a reason why funeral directing can be such a rewarding career for them. "As a child, when you are hurt or sick, the first person you go to is your mother," Keith said. "There is a definite need for women in this career, because we sympathize a little bit different than men, and we can be compassionate in a little bit different way than men."
Keith also says her youth is an asset to her job, because it allows her to be flexible and think outside the box, especially now that she sees a growing trend toward nontraditional funeral services.
"We do every type of service, but we have a growing number of personalized services that really bring to life that person's legacy and who they really were," she said. "I try to make the process of planning services as effortless for the survivors as I can."
Keith makes balancing work and free time look pretty effortless as well. She makes sure that she gives her 4-year-old daughter, Avery, as much of her time as the families she serves at Pearson's.
"With life and unfortunately, death, it does not occur during business hours," Keith said. "It's a lot of sacrifice and a lot of understanding and patience from my daughter, even at an early age. I may work late one evening but come in later the next day to spend more time with her in the morning. It's important to me that I make up any time lost with her any time I can."
In addition to family time, Keith enjoys yoga, party planning, crafts, playing golf, going to see live music, dancing and traveling. She is also very involved in the women's committee at the St. Matthews Chamber of Commerce, and she volunteers with Jefferson County Public Schools.
"I like to enjoy every minute of my time off," Keith said. "Because of what I do for a living, I don't take life for granted."

WACO (December 7, 2012)--A group of student leaders at Cesar Chavez Middle School completed two days of training today to help reduce incidents of bullying and misbehavior.
The Safe School Ambassador training program teaches students how to take a proactive approach by using non-violent communication and intervention skills.
"Bullying is no longer an obvious thing," Matthew Stratman, Cesar Chavez teachers said. "They don't feel like they can approach us (teachers) and ask us for help so they take matters into their own hands."
The selected students for the program are socially influential leaders that have a tendency towards social justice.
"In other words, kids who are willing to stand up for what they think is right even if its not the popular thing to do," Stratmann said.
It's the second year the program is being used at Cesar Chavez Middle School. Teachers are hoping the program will help prevent incidents like what happened Tuesday at the school.
Three boys and a girl were caught as a fight was progressing.
One boy was found with a toy gun and a girl was found with a non-working BB gun.
"We have leaders of all the various groups, the cliques all in one place and for the first time in their entire lives they are sitting down and having a meaningful conversation with each other," Stratmann said.
Students in the program say they are ready to help make their school a safer place.
"If you know how to prevent it you can stop it," Reyes Hernandez, 8th grade student said.

There are 10 horses running! If a horse has 50% chance to win, what is the chance of that same horse to finish in Top 3?
Here's a somewhat plausible model. Suppose we have independent exponential random variables $X_j$ corresponding to the horses, each with its rate $r_j$. The order of finishing is the order of the $X_j$. The "lack of memory" property of the exponential distribution makes calculations easy. When the horses with rates $r_{j_1}, \ldots, r_{j_k}$ have not yet finished, the probability that a given one (say $j_1$) is the next to finish is $r_{j_1}/\sum_{k} r_{j_k}$. For simplicity, let's say our horse has rate $r_1$ and the other $9$ horses all have rate $r_2$. The probability that our horse wins is $r_1/(r_1 + 9 r_2)$, so if this is $1/2$ we must have $r_1 = 9 r_2$. Given that our horse doesn't come first, the probability that it comes second is then $r_1/(r_1+8 r_2) = 9/17$. Given that it doesn't come first or second, the probability that it comes third is $r_1/(r_1 + 7 r_2) = 9/16$. So the total probability that our horse is in the top 3 is $(1/2) + (1/2)(9/17) + (1/2)(8/17)(9/16) = 61/68$.
EDIT: Here's a different model. The horses are independent random variables; nine of them are uniform on $[0,1]$, while our horse is uniform on $[0,9/5]$. It is not hard to compute that our horse wins with probability $1/2$, and finishes in position $j$ with probability $1/18$ for $2\le j\le10$. So the probability our horse finishes in the top 3 is $11/18$.
[Previous model, note objections in the comments]
First of all, the probability of winning is $p^9$, so we know $p^9=1/2$, which you can solve to find $p$.
Then, the probability of finishing second is $9p^8(1-p)$, since there are 9 ways to choose the winning horse, probability $1-p$ of being beaten by that horse, and probability $p^8$ of beating the others.
Similarly, the probability of finishing third is $36p^7(1-p)^2$. So, the probability of finishing in the top three --- given the assumptions we've made --- is $$(1/2)+9p^8(1-p)+36p^7(1-p)^2$$
P(event) = P(W10) + [P(L10)][P(W9/L10)] + [P(L10)][P(L9/L10)][P(W8/L9)]
P(event) = (1/2) + (1/2)(1/2) + (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)
P(event) = 7/8
i.e. P(3) = 7/(2^3)
In general, P(n) = (2^n - 1)/(2^n)
where n is a positive integer less than 10
P(Wi) stands for the probability of a win among i horses. P(Li) stands for the probability of a loss among i horses. ASSUMPTION : Probability P(Wn) of a win in a race among n horses remains the same for every horse.

I am going to format my laptop in a bit, and i want to know how to i back up my FM data and hall of fame stats. Please someone help me ASAP.
I am going to format my laptop in a bit, and i want to know how to i back up my FM data and hall of fame stats. Please someone help me ASAP.
Easiest way, is to make a copy (on an external disk, memory stick, cd, etc...) of the following folder:
/My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2012
Then simply replace that folder once you've re-installed Windows and the game.
But if i just copy the game saves and the hall of fame.dat file will that NOT be enough.
This question seems to get asked every day!
But what other setting do you actually mean though.
Any graphics you've added to the game, your tactics, training schedules, scouting shortlists, etc...
All usually go into that folder. That's why I suggested that if you want your game to be "as was", it's better/easier just to copy the whole folder.
So my tactics, scouting shortlists from the game, facepacks are in that folder, if so i need that folder.
Anyone please reply to above post.
If i copy that folder and then copy it over the one when i reinstall FM12 will i have all my files.
Where would i need to copy the halloffame file from as that has my achievements, and i dont want to lose them as last time i bloody formatted it i lose my hall of fame data from FM11, there really should be help here for people trying to backup their data.
Post no 2 gives all the details that you need- copy the whole folder and everything you will need will be safe.
FrazT i understand that, but that folder hasnt got the hall of fame file, so where would i need to get and copy that from. Im gona format my laptop now, so please a quick answer would be appreciated.
PLEASE this is important.
Either search for the hall_of_fame.dat or it can be found (at least on Vista/Win 7) at:
C: -> Users -> Public -> Documents -> Sports Interactive -> Football Manager 2012
Thanks neil much appreciated.
Hopefully when i reinstall the game i can copy the folder and overwrite to the one im supposed to. Hope everything will still be there.

Chiropractors, or doctors of chiropractic, are health care professionals who focus on musculoskeletal health problems. Through manipulation of the bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, they treat patient ailments, such as back or neck pain. Spinal adjustment can relieve acute back pain, widen a patient's range of motion, and improve function. These professionals emphasize health maintenance and disease prevention through exercise, maintaining posture, stress management, proper nutrition, and care of the spine and the nervous system. Approximately 28,850 chiropractors practice in the United States. Most work in solo practice; other work settings include group practices, health care clinics, and teaching institutions.
Chiropractic emphasizes health maintenance, the whole person, and natural healing and is considered an alternative health care approach. At the same time, chiropractic has more of the advantages enjoyed by the medical profession than does any other alternative health care field: Chiropractic has licensure requirements, accredited training institutions, a growing scientific research base, and insurance reimbursement.

Iraq: 7 oil companies qualified for key oil field
Posted at: 03/13/2013 3:09 AM
(AP) BAGHDAD - The Iraqi Oil Ministry says seven international oil companies have qualified to bid for developing a promising oil field and build a refinery in the country's south.
Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said on Wednesday that the companies will vie for developing the 4.4-billion-barrel Nasiriyah field and the construction of a 300,000 barrel a day refinery nearby. Jihad added that the actual date for receiving bids has not been set yet.
The companies are Russia's Zarubezhneft and Lukoil, China's CNPCI, U.S. Brown Energy, India's Reliance Industries, Franc's Total and Japan's JGC & Tonen General.
The field is located in Thi Qar province, about 320 kilometers (200 miles) south of Baghdad. Iraq sits atop of 143.1 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. Oil exports make up nearly 95 percent of Iraq's budget.

Is anyone else tired of all the whining?
Waaaaaaa Woot's so different and I hate it. Waaaa the deals all suck since Amazon bought them. Waaaa why don't they sell more buckets of chum?
Seriously, grow up. They still sell unusual items, and most are still good deals. Woot still has great write-ups and an awesome community of loyal wootizens. Why does every thread have to get highjacked by people complaining? Everything changes. Adapt or die.
The most annoying thing about woot right now isn't the changes in the site layout, ownership structure, or boc issues, it's all the self-righteous whiners.

Damn, after complaining about the complainers, I just realized I started a whole 'nother thread about complaining.
I've .
@daveinsocal: "The most annoying thing about woot right now isn't the changes in the site layout, ownership structure, or boc issues, it's all the self-righteous whiners."
The whining has been a part of Woot since the early days ... so seeing how that part did NOT change ... well, we shouldn't be complaining about that now, should we? ^_^
Speaking of which, I haven't said much about shirt.woot recently ...
Just a couple weeks ago, woot had, what I felt was like, a very fun and successful Woot-Off. Everyone was happy about the Woot-Off and the new changes to the site.
I do think there might be a little too much whining, since Woot usually gives us lots of pleasant surprises on a fairly regular basis :)
@dmaz: This past woot off with all the server issues? I would have to say that one was much less fun than some previous ones. But the one before that I thought was completely pleasant and fun.
@inkycatz: Love it.
i am in love with you, @daveinsocal.
@pemberducky: :-) /blush
@inkycatz: So the recent spate of cat shirts at shirt.woot is the staff's way of quieting the Anvil/AA discussion? :)
@inkycatz: Well done ma'am!

I know this is probably not a usual question you see on here but anyways. I have over the past year purchased three different office chairs. They have all seemed fine for the first few months, however after the 2-3 month mark my back starts to hurt. There's no specific part, sometimes it's the lower back sometimes the upper back but it keeps me from doing my work properly. I sit at my desk for 8-9 hours a day( I'm a student and software developer).
I'm not sure what to do. Doing back exercises doesn't seem to work either. I don't know whether it's because I'm 197cm tall (~ 6'7'') and most office chairs aren't suited for my height? If so, can you recommend any brand or even a specific chair? It's really a problem for me, it increases my stress levels a lot on top of the pain I have every day in my back.
Any help/suggestions appreciated

Chevy LS Engine Install Finale - Fun With Fuel InjectionWritten by on September 1, 2009 Our '67-72 Chevy LS Engine Install: The "Finale"
If I can do it, you can do it! I have taken the EFI plunge and survived. Like many of you, I was/am not very savvy with electrical gadgets, wiring, or fuel-injection systems, but luckily there are people out there who are and make parts to help the electrically challenged.
This is the finale of our series on how to install a Chevy LS engine into your truck. The truck used was a '72 Chevy C-10, but most of the install is as universal as possible and outlines the parts or type of parts you need to do it yourself. This was even done with an '01 Chevy Suburban 5.3L iron-block engine from a wrecking yard. In fact, the owner of Dave's Goldenwest Truck, where I got mine, says he's now selling these engines for $500, which is perfect for those with more time than money. This should leave the remaining budget to buy the new harness from Turn Key Engine Supply and the rest of the parts you'll need. Listed in the source box in this article are all the companies I got parts from, excluding auto parts/hardware/electrical supply stores for miscellaneous pieces that will vary truck to truck and also depends on your truck's current condition.
There are several books available on LS engine swaps and people have been doing them since these engines came out in the late '90s, but we haven't seen any in-depth how-to articles pertaining to older trucks. Hopefully, these four stories will help those thinking about or scared to take the plunge into a modern EFI conversion. In fact, if you are handy and can do the work yourself, you should be able to do the whole swap for less than most new small-block crate engines cost. Not only that, but you'll have reliability, a lot better fuel economy, and last but not least--power! The C-10 still needs exhaust, but we did one easy dyno pull and got almost 260 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels! Not bad for a stock junkyard engine. Plus, it's no secret that LS engines are easy to squeeze more ponies out of and a cam and head swap can easily put power figures between 400-500. After a short and loud drive in the '72, I will say that 260 hp to the pavement is plenty for most people!
All in all, the swap went well and the engine looks almost like GM put it there when you open the hood. Throughout the series I've tried to outline any issues or concerns that I had so you know what you are in for. The other installments are in the March, July, and August '09 issues of CLASSIC TRUCKS. After some seat time I'll report on fuel economy and how much fun and driveable I'm hoping the truck will be. My best advice is to take your time with the work surrounding the swap and do it so you'll be happy with it for years to come.

It's no secret that most any electrical system needs good leads and grounds--especially with EFI engines. I'm not proud of it, but this was the main power wire coming off the battery to the fusible link--not good, let alone pretty. In the end, I spent a good deal of time replacing much of the stock engine bay wiring from scratch.During the process of figuring out the "modified" stock wiring, we put too much juice through the system and melted the OE fusible link, which is what it is supposed to do. Instead of installing another one after the wire cooled, I cut it out and replaced it with a modern 30-amp MAXI fuse. This will be easier and safer to replace in the future, should the need arise.The MAXI fuse holder mounted on the inner fender where the fusible link was and cost under $20 at the auto parts store. Pick up an extra MAXI fuse while you are at it.Now that the wiring was back to ground zero, I could start in on the wiring. I decided to run a 10-gauge power wire from the alternator to the power terminal on the starter to simplify things instead of finding another key switch power source. I like to use uninsulated terminals and adhesive-lined heat shrink for a more professional and clean look.Here we are down at the starter and the red wire is from the alternator and going to the battery power post. The other wire is from the ignition and is going to the starter solenoid post.The harness from Turn Key Engine Supply uses many other "weather pack" connectors that are already part of the harness, but there are five that need to be crimped to connect a few things. The two gray ones are for incoming constant power to electric fans and the three black ones are for key-switched power to the ECU, power to the fuel pump, and the tachometer connection.The bad thing is that weather pack terminals need special crimpers since they are more complex than standard terminals. This particular pair is "ratcheting," and won't over crimp, which is nice.After crimping, slip the little green rubber seal over the terminal before sliding on the outer, which will lock into place.
Luckily, I remembered to label the wire from the tachometer in the dash when I took the old small-block out! If you don't have a wiring diagram for your truck, now is the time to get one.This will be connected to the gray wire in the Turn Key harness that has a tag clearly marked TACH. Again, this will use the weather pack pieces.The sending unit for the oil pressure gauge goes in the back of the block, behind the intake. There was plenty of room even for this common canister style of sender. If you don't have a sender, check with your gauge manufacturer on what you need.One sending unit issue is the water temperature port in the rear of the left head. From the factory there is a threaded plug in this and it has M12x1.5 threads. Turn Key rethreads this to 1/4NPT when they build their engines, but remember mine is from the wrecking yard. This won't work with all temp senders like the long one, but gauge companies like Auto Meter have a M12x1.5 to 1/8NPT adapter for this.I had to use the short sending unit and it all goes together like so. There is a copper crush washer between the adapter and the head because the 12mm threads are straight, not tapered like pipe thread (NPT).One other issue I wanted to clear up was the TV cable to intake temperature sending unit interference. I don't think this is an issue when using the low, passenger car intake, but as the throttle opens, the TV cable would move down and rub on the sender. A new aluminum insert could be made or modified and fix the problem, but that wouldn't help many of you. So I got a 1/4NPT female to male 45-degree fitting.I had to hog out the inside of the fitting where the tip of the sender was bottoming out on and snip some of the plastic tip off, but after wrapping all the threads in Teflon tape it worked much to my pleasure. I may wrap the fitting in insulation so it doesn't absorb too much heat from the engine bay.My list was starting to get real short and it was time to fill the transmission back up. I have always used Amsoil ATF in this trans since it was new, so that's what I filled it back up with. Make sure to top it off once the engine is running again.You can't forget the basics at a time like this and not only did I add enough Peak Global Lifetime coolant, but I poured in an equal part of distilled water. Lots of good and bad minerals can be found in tap water, but the aluminum in the radiator and the engine (heads in this case) don't get along well with these minerals, so distilled water should be used.
Turn Key sells this high-flow K&N air filter that bolts right on the stock 4-inch throttle body opening. It is important not to run your engine without proper protection!For anyone planning to do daily duty in their truck like myself, Turn Key has these air filter covers made for even more protection.I wasn't going to get too far without a throttle cable! The stock GM cable for the manual throttle body fit right into the cable hole in my firewall after just a touch of filing. The cable end also worked with the stock gas pedal in the '72.Since I have a 700-R4 with a lockup converter, I needed to connect its vacuum line to a port on the intake. This one on the top left side of the intake worked like a charm.For those with a TV cable controlled trans like a 700-R4/200-4R, Bowtie Overdrives makes the use of them and an LS engine possible, but it is very important to follow the TV cable setup and adjustment procedure clearly outlined in their instructions. You'll need a 0-300psi pressure gauge to hook up to the direct pump pressure port on the driver's side of the trans. If the trans isn't up to proper pressure it wont last long. Bowtie encourages customers to call their tech line with any questions, which I did many times!Once I went through Bowtie Overdrive's setup and testing instructions and called them back with my pressure readings we did a quick dyno pull on our Mustang chassis dyno. We set the rpm limit to 5,000 and were still running open headers (it was loud!) and the engine was still making power when it shut down, we got 258.8 hp and 281.2 lb-ft of torque at the tire. Not bad at all for a stock wrecking yard engine! The old small-block was in the neighborhood of 117 hp/130 lb-ft. So what are you waiting for?

S-CIRCLES, Social Network Engine (Ext JS 4, ST 1.1)
Hi Community,
I think this is a good time to finally reveal the S-CIRCLES project.
During the last months, I spend big parts of my free time to start creating a social network engine based upon Ext JS 4 and Sencha Touch 1.1. My Development Team consists of 3 people: Max Widdra is resposible for the Design and User Experience, Bastian Haustein is creating the Backend.
As soon as the basic versions of the Apps are completed (still in progress!), a free to use version will be set up for the Sencha Community.
I will write a lot more about the project during the next days (after my session tomorrow #SenchaCon). This topic is made for feedback and questions.
25 Oct 2011 6:22 PM #2

Looks awesome!

I like this, +1, or should I say I'm circled?Thorben
Refined Labs is hiring Ext JS devs and Zend Framework developers. Full-time positions in Munich: http://www.refinedlabs.com/jobs
17 Nov 2011 2:05 PM #5
Thanks for the feedback so far!
I have just created a small Facebook fanpage to show some of Max Widdras latest Design Screens:
There is also a first pre alpha version online now:
You can open it with Google Chrome, Safari or iOS 5.
This version is not yet fully functional and still has a lot of bugs and missing features I am aware of. If you like to, you can already register. You can also log in with the fake account:
email@example.com / qqqqq
or just click the signup button on top of the page. The only modules that are already a bit further developed are the contact list on the left side and the circles tab. You can already drag contacts to circles and drag contacts from one circle to another one. This change won't get saved yet!
More to come soon!

This is all ExtJS UI?
So you created a custom theme for this?
Looks great!
13 Dec 2011 12:02 PM #7
yes, it is a custom theme, but also a lot of custom components that also get skinned with SASS.
the goal was, that you shall not even recognize it was build with the Sencha Frameworks on the first view.
19 Dec 2011 9:39 AM #8
at the moment my team and i are thinking about if it makes sense to release an advanced version of the circles as a standalone commercial custom component that can get easily integrated in other ext js applications for managing groups, teams, etc.
feedback appreciated!
29 Dec 2011 11:17 PM #9
Hi Tobiu,
Why not! I suggest pushing your components to Sencha Market place
18 Mar 2013 11:51 AM #10
Can you put the code source in GitHub ??
Thank you
