A 16-year-old Belgian boy with cancer who listened to his grandfather tell stories about United States soldiers during World War II has gotten a chance to be one of those soldiers.
The Courier-Journal and The News-Enterprise report Antoine Brisbois was at Fort Knox on Tuesday for the first of a two-day visit that includes working alongside soldiers and training. Brisbois, who developed bone cancer at age 12, was able to make the visit through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which worked with the U.S. Army to coordinate it.
During his first day at the central Kentucky Army post, he rode in an armored truck while dressed in full combat gear, fire blanks alongside a 3rd Brigade combat unit in training and disarmed explosives.
He said fulfilling his dream made him "extremely happy."

Hitachi 29" Ultrathin Edgelit LED TV for $199.95 + $20.00 (Continental US) shipping
Oh, you didn't know? Ultrathin is the new Uberthin of TVs. And in a few months, Megathin will be the new Ultrathin.
10 Comments add a comment
Ultrathin? at 5.31" deep, that is thin compared to a crt I suppose.
@lestera02: It's as if it was named at a time when TV's were much thicker.
Agreed. If you look at the actual screen, it is quite thin, but doesn't make any sense at all considering the control board and everything else take up another 5"!
"edge lit"? LEDs are self-illuminating, this thing better not have a backlight. It would only require that if it were LCD?
@virtual1one: That's not correct. LED TVs don't use individual LEDs to render pixels. The screen on an LED TV is the essentially the same as that on an LCD TV. The LED TV just uses LEDs to light the display, whereas an LCD generally uses cold cathodes.
LEDs can be either matrix lit or edge lit. Edge lit uses a bunch of lights around the rim, and matrix uses a grid of lights behind the display.
LEDs are thinner and use less power. They can also do truer blacks, since it's easy to toggle LEDs on/off, which can't generally happen with the lamps in LCDs. Matrix LED TVs have amazing black, because they can turn of lights directly behind the screen.
The only other place I found this in the US was at Sam's Club. I picking this up for my computer.
@ceolacanth: good idea. I bet this would be a great addition to the ol' computer. Now I have something to ponder.....
@lestera02: The spec sheet lists the depth as 2.69", maybe the 5.31" includes the (presumably) detachable base?
I've owned a nice Hitachi 42" for going on 6 years, and it's a still a great TV. I'd definitely recommend a Hitachi like this one to a friend, I especially like the idea of using this as an additional monitor.
Thanks, Woot!
@lestera02: No. It's 2.5" -- The base is considered as part of that. (http://www.hitachi-america.us/products/consumer/tv/products/ultrathin_led/details/PS_LE29H316.pdf)

RIPLEY - Four local students represented Brooke and Hancock counties at the West Virginia Youth Science Camp this summer.
The two-week residential science honors program offers participants an opportunity to learn more about science while also participating in art, music and traditional summer camp recreational activities at the Cedar Lakes Conference Center.
Kayla Bryant of Follansbee, Jackie Carbasho of Wellsburg and Ian Smith, all students at Brooke High School; and Jakob Hartley of Weir High School were among 77 ninth- and 10th-graders selected to participate after exhibiting leadership abilities, superior academic proficiency in science and math and a willingness to explore various topics.
Visiting scientists presented lectures and hands-on directed studies to introduce participants to a variety of scientific career options.
Topics included heat shielding for space safety, gene expression, interpersonal neurobiology, failures in engineering systems, model rocketry, digital forensics, and the physics and technology of artificial lighting.
"I see my camp experience affecting my life after camp because it really proved to me that the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover," is true," said Carbasho. "The directed studies have made me think more about my career choice. I am now leaning towards my second choice, director of diagnostics, and not my initial plan of being a lawyer."
Participants also could participate in an outdoor adventure program of mountain biking and hiking and afternoon seminars covering such diverse areas as ballroom dancing, Spanish, fly-tying and engineering design.
The camp was made possible through a partnership between the West Virginia Department of Education and the National Youth Science Foundation. The National Youth Science Foundation, a nonprofit organization, conducts comprehensive informal science education programs to sustain and encourage youth interest and excellence in science.
"(The camp) challenged me mentally because in directed studies they gave you problems that you had to solve but you had never been presented with before," said Bryant. "(The camp) also challenged me physically because I'm not used to taking hikes to see the stars but it was a super awesome experience."
Smith said he enjoyed the hands-on aspect of the camp, and Hartley said the experience showed him there is science in many aspects of everyday life and to "think outside the box."

Let f be an analytic function defined in an open set containing the closed unit disk and let z in ℂ be fixed. I've simplified a more complicated expression down to this identity, and as implausible as it looks, after some numerical checking it does in fact appear to be true, although if you think you can find a counterexample be my guest:
$$\overline{f(0)} = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}\frac{e^{i\phi}}{e^{i \phi}-z}\overline{f(e^{i\phi})}d\phi$$
The functions I tried were: z, z+1, and z+i, so nothing transcendental. We don't know that $\overline{f(z)}$ is analytic and we can't even push the conjugate inside the function, thus I feel like I don't have many tools at my disposal except for algebraic manipulation, and so far that hasn't gotten me anywhere.

Other Voices: Voice-directed warehousing is showing its age—in a good way
May 01, 2013 - MMH Editorial
Editor's Note: The following column by Ian Hobkirk, managing director, Commonwealth Supply Chain Advisors, is part of Modern's Other Voices column. The series features ideas, opinions and insights from end users, analysts, systems integraters and OEMs. Click on the link to learn about submitting a column for consideration.
*** *** **
I was recently asked to speak at the Material Handling Industry's spring conference in Charlotte. The audience was a group of supply chain software executives that wanted to better understand the reasons why companies hold back on replacing or upgrading their WMS systems. To prepare for the speech, I interviewed about thirty of our customers who have either undertaken or are considering WMS projects right now.
Our research brought to light an interesting aspect of a trend that has been developing for the last several years: the rise of voice directed warehousing as an alternative to WMS enhancement. The eye-opening finding is that the headline with voice is no longer about hands-free operation, although that certainly continues to be a major benefit to adopting such systems.
To back up a moment – let's look at what our research uncovered regarding the reasons why companies hold back on WMS enhancements. Companies repeatedly stated that they were searching for improved functionality in their warehousing operations companies with primitive, legacy software are looking for basic functionality like the ability to automatically confirm pick transactions to improve accuracy.
Companies with more advanced WMS systems are looking for the ability to perform more complex picking processes like batch and zone picking. Despite the need for these features, many companies refuse to upgrade or enhance their WMs systems due to fears about risky or "bad" implementations. Commonwealth has written in the past about the potential for problematic go-lives that seem to accompany WMS projects.
Many companies are choosing voice not so much for its hands-free, ergonomic benefits, as for the ability to achieve key functionality items without the risk of a full-blown WMS roll-out. These companies are not evolving along a paper-to-bar-code-to-voice path, but are going straight from paper to voice. These projects tend to be more palatable to the IT group, as they are more about overlaying than ripping-and-replacing.
As a cautionary note, however, it is worth pointing out that many of Commonwealth's customers who have deployed voice have reported some bumps in the road both during and immediately after the go-live (although these generally have not risen to the level of severity that can be experienced with a broader WMS deployment). Additionally, some of the voice providers seem to be spread very thin at the moment with multiple implementations straining their resources.
Stay tuned as we continue this research, and look at some of the keys to successfully deploying a voice system in the warehouse.

I'm searching for a few hours right now, and i can't seem to reach any solution. I am developing an app that displays some reference points in a map. I want to draw the road path between these points, and show the respective directions inside my app. I don't want to launch google maps app to show those informations there.
Is this possible? If yes, can you point some tutorials?
Thks in advance.

Will the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) be able to capture, or ever be used for, anything similar to the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF)?
Will the James Webb Space Telescope be able to capture something similar to, or better than, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field?
James Webb and Hubble use two different technologies. In reality, James Webb is more of an updated Spitzer telescope, with the range being somewhere between it and Hubble. The reported range of James Webb will be in the 1-25 micron range.
Detectors just simply aren't that great at the higher end of that range, at least compared to visible sensors. Even the best instruments don't work as well as sensors from 15-20 years ago visible. Still, technology has considerably improved recently in this regard.
Still, the size of James Webb is a three times increase in diameter, which is a nine times increase in collecting area, over Hubble.
My guess is, anything in the Near Infrared (NIR) will be better in its sensitivity than the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, but anything in the Mid Infrared (MIR) will be less sensitive. Still, I can't imagine that they won't try do do something like the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, as its objective, copied from the web site, is:
Pushing beyond the Hubble's deep field images is one of the four primary science objectives listed on the JWST site. The reason we need an infrared telescope to do this is that the earliest galaxies in the universe are being redshifted beyond the limits of the HST's sensors. IT might not be able to create images that are equally sharp due to the longer wave lengths; but there's simply much more IR light available from that time period than there is in visible wavelengths.
The ability to see deep into the field like this is characterised by the detector's Noise Equivalent Power (NEP). This is a measure of how faint a signal can be retrieved from the 'noise' present in the detector. This noise represents several effects that inevitably create a false signal.
I can't find any numbers regarding HST vs JWST, but I would suggest that a factor of $10^4$ is possible with the technological advance between the two telescopes.
Webb Science: The Assembly of Galaxies describes the deep galactic science that would be carried out by the near infrared camera taking a 'UDF' image...

The 13 Most Unintentionally Disturbing Children's Toys
#6. Stuffed Dog Head Binoculars
We're half convinced some company had a warehouse full of World War I-era gas masks and figured they could move the things by gluing a stuffed animal face on there.
But as creepy as the thing looks when it's off, stick it on a child's face and now you've got a disembodied dog head with two giant warped child eyes staring out at you. At least they could have tinted these things to make them quite not so disturbing. Oh, wait...
Yeah, that's actually much worse.
#5. Lookalike Doll
Little Island is a Japanese company that has made it possible for you to get a doll with your own face on it and speak to you in your own voice, as well. Just make sure you have a streetwise Asian boy around to keep the Maharaja from stabbing it with a jeweled dagger, because we're pretty sure this thing is a fucking Voodoo doll. Either that or it's a replicant sent to take your place after its robot overlords vacuum your brains out in your sleep.
Actually, even if it's none of those, we still have the very unsettling fact that it is apparently a toy intended for adults. We can't think of a single non-creepy use for such a thing unless they intend to use it as a decoy to fool incredibly incompetent assassins.
#4. Struts
The manufacturers claim that "Struts," the My Little Pony-esque horses dressed up in 19th Century lingerie and stripper heels, "combine a little girl's love for horses with her love for fashion dolls."
To us, however, these things appear to be the product of a failed teleportation experiment where instead of Jeff Goldblum and a fly, they had Christina Aguilera and Sea Biscuit.
#3. The Flying Monkey
This flying stunt-monkey seems like a perfectly straightforward toy, until you spot the advertising point "Hear Me Scream!"
Apparently the Amazing Flying Monkey is designed to be used like a slingshot, so this is literally a shrieking terror beast to be fired into the faces of other kids.(It also poses as a standard toy packaged by people who don't know how to conjugate the verb "fly.")
#2. Hugo, Man of 1000 Faces
A hairless, vacant expression, a trunk full of disguises, a bolo tie--without question, Hugo is a man of a thousand serial murders.
This doll is like a Ted Bundy Potato Head. The face on the box has the ghoulish stare of a guy that literally can't wait to stab you to death and drag your body down to his basement. He's even wearing disposable clothing, presumably to be wrapped around severed limbs to keep them from bleeding all over the interior of the station wagon of a thousand screams.
But on top of all that... why the fuck does he need those creepy little atrophied arms? They serve no purpose! They intentionally went out of their way in the manufacturing process to make him just a little more terrifying.
#1. Mattel's Mindflex
So say hello to the "Mindflex." It's a machine that gives your children telekinesis.
No, it's not a hoax, it's made by toy giant, Mattel. Your kid straps the device to his head, and suddenly he can levitate a little ping pong ball through pure thought.
OK, he is actually manipulating a tiny fan that blows the ball causing it to hover various heights. With his mind. The child can manipulate the fan through the machine reading his brainwave patterns.
Hey, remember that old Twilight Zone episode where a kid takes over his town and forces everyone to do his bidding, because he can think anything and it becomes reality? Including turning people into giant Blippy in the Boxes?
It's only a matter of time, people.
Yeah, you think we're overreacting, that it can never happen, but you also didn't think we'd have mind-reading telekinesis machines in Toys "R" Us this year.

No. 126 The State Public Pension Crisis: A 50-State Report Card
Taxpayers in almost every U.S. state owe large and possibly unpayable retirement pensions to the men and women who work for the government. The deep recession of 2008-2009 has moved up the day of reckoning, requiring immediate action by many states to avoid financial catastrophe.
While no one doubts that the people who police the streets, teach school, fight fires, plan roads, and administer government benefits deserve fair compensation for their labors, current public policy almost everywhere grants many public employees overly generous pensions that pose a large and growing burden on taxpayers. Even as many private employers have reduced or eliminated traditional pensions, they remain the norm for state government workers.

Canada's population is becoming increasingly diverse. However, the provision of culturally responsive services is still a challenge to our society. In particular, community services for partner violence and sexual assault in are insensitive and inadequate for certain groups of people. Individuals from various racial, ethnic, religious and linguistic backgrounds, different age groups and sexual orientation, continue to express their concerns of having limited access to culturally relevant services. What do service providers need to do to work effectively with diverse people in diverse environments?This webinar will highlight the services provided by the Diversity Outreach and Court Support Program at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton, followed by a presentation on the complexity of working with people from diverse cultural background with diverse worldviews and perspectives. The webinar will then explore various strategies that allow service providers to apply a multicultural worldview that responds to increasingly complex environments. It will include a segment on community development principles, relationship building, and learning from the wisdom and lived experiences of the people.

A population of $p_0$ hyenas has run out of food in their ecosystem, and so sadly they have resorted to eating each other.
Hyenas need to consume one meal a day, and so exactly once per day, any given hyena will kill another hyena. The time at which this happens is random, meaning each hyena's mealtime is uniformly distributed throughout a set of $24$ hours.
Assuming that the last hyena will get hungry and die trying to eat himself, after how long will the population of hyenas become extinct?
I'm can think of two different ways to answer this (neither of which I know how to solve). The first is simpler and less accurate (and will therefore merit less glory).
Answer 1
We can discretize time into seconds, and so the population $p(t)$ hyenas after $t$ seconds can be written as: $$p(t) = p(t-1) - \frac{p(t-1)}{86400}.$$ (Why? At any given second--there are $60*60*24 = 86400$ seconds in a day--each hyena has a $1$ in $86400$ chance of eating another hyena.)
Clearly this is sloppy, since it is not guaranteed that such a number of hyenas will die every second. Also, when one hyena remains, it gets messy (although you could say it will take him a full day to die). I think this is actually modelling the expected value of $p(t)$, but I'm not sure.
But still, I'd like to see how we can get a clean formula for $p(t)$ from this recursion, and see when it becomes $0$.
Answer 2
We think of time as continuous, and the cannibalism of the hyenas as a (Poison?) process, in which each event--the death of a hyena--occurs at some rate. The tricky part is that this rate is dependent on the current population of the hyenas...
I assume the solution will be given by $E[t | p(t) = 0]$.
I've been thinking about this for a while, and am genuinely curious to see what you think!

What should be done in a case where the shliach tzibbur when davening chazaras ha'shatz makes a mistake and instead of saying "HaMelech HaKodesh" during Eseres Yamei Teshuva he says "HaKel HaKodesh". Normally the halacha by a yichud if the person has already gone further in Shemoneh Esrei and realizes this mistake they have to go back to the beginning of the Shemoneh Esrei. By a shliach tzibbur if this was realized after a point where it cannot be corrected must the shliach tzibbur start over again chazaras ha'shatz?

One who errs in this regard must start over from the beginning (Shulchan Aruch, OC 582:1). The Beit Yosef implies that this applies to a sh'liach tzibbur, as well (OC 582:2). The Sha'arei T'shuvah, quoting the Z'kan Aharon (§ 6), rules explicitly that the sh'liach tzibbur must return to the beginning, and must repeat k'dushah, as well (OC 582:1).
The Meiri (Brachot 34a) rules that a Chazzan who makes such a mistake need only go back to Attah Kadosh (=LeDor VaDor for Ashkenazim).
Rav Ovadia Yosef has a Teshuva (Yabia Omer OC 1:8) where he goes through much of the literature on the matter and concludes in accordance with this opinion.

Taglia Gym ceremony moved to new year
The gymnasium dedication ceremony scheduled for Kennedy High School Wednesday evening has been postponed, Kennedy athletic director Dave Rossi said Sunday.
The Kennedy gym will be dedicated in honor of longtime Eagles coach Jack Taglia, but that ceremony is delayed due to the tragic deaths in Newtown.
Rossi said the event was postponed because it conflicted with a vigil mass planned for Wednesday at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception church in downtown Waterbury.
Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary has "scheduled a vigil at the Basilica on Wednesday night at 6 p.m.," Rossi said. "Many of our invited guests will be attending that. We will reschedule to a date after Jan. 1."
The game between Kennedy and Holy Cross, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday, is now moved back to Tuesday at the Kennedy gym at 7 p.m.
Also, there seems to be confusion on the make-up date for the Wilby-Crosby boys basketball game, originally scheduled for last Friday, and also postponed when the NVL shut down following the events in Newtown.
Despite reports that this game is scheduled for tonight, Wilby athletic director Steve Baldwin confirmed on Sunday that the new date for the key city and NVL game is Jan. 14 at Wilby.

Ladies and gentlemen, if we're just the party of tax cuts, we'll never win another election. America cares about more than just lower taxes."

It looks like Oracle shared server process model is better than dedicated server process model. In a shared server configuration, client user processes connect to a dispatcher and it can support multiple client connections concurrently (source). Also, shared server can be configured for connection pooling and session multiplexing, so all these things should bring a huge performance boost. So, with these advantages, are there any cases when dedicated server process model should be used instead?

1) One Tom Kyte maintains that with shared server, the only performance that will surely increase is processing of CONNECTs. For the rest of statements, shared server is inherently a bit slower, unless it happens that pooling/multiplexing is sufficient to maintain advantage.
2) Dedicated is simpler - it has less components. Since much of administrator's job is investigating strange behaviors, tracing, analyzing... simpler means better.
3) Most importantly, everybody uses dedicated, and a best approach in case of any "enterprise-level" software is to take a path more traveled by - my personal opinion. A side-effect would be when contacting Oracle support with problems, you may receive more often the advice to "try again using dedicated server instead" than "well, why don't you try it using shared server instead". So it's one less thing to discuss with those beautiful people.

5 Ridiculous Lies You Believe About Ancient Civilizations
#2. The Ancient Olympics Were About Tests of Physical Ability, Not Endorsements and Fame
The Myth:
Sure, today's Olympics are corrupt, rife with cheating, and riddled with scandal, but at least today's games aspire to the noble ideals of the ancient Greeks -- amateurism, fair play, and peace. For one brief moment in history, those cherished virtues were upheld. It's inspiring stuff, really.
Not a CCTV camera in sight.
The Reality:
Literally all the worst aspects of the modern games -- cheating, corruption, commercialism -- were present almost from the very beginning of the ancient Olympiad. Hell, the ancient Greeks couldn't even pay lip service to the spirit of sportsmanship, because the idea of "fair play" didn't even exist. And that other righteous Olympic ideal, amateurism? There was no place for that shit in the ancient Greek games -- not with "riches and bitches" (we're fairly certain that's an ancient phrase) up for grabs.
Oh yeah, mad bitches.
"For love of the game" certainly didn't exist two millennia ago. Ancient Greek athletes were just as motivated by material gain and glory as today's -- hell, the word "athlete" even means "one who competes for a prize." Technically, the Olympiad itself only awarded its victors laurels and olive wreaths ... but, bring home some of those laurels and prepare to be showered with the aforementioned riches and bitches. The city of Athens paid its Olympic winners literal fortunes. Pensions for Olympic athletes were common, too, with some athletes winning free meals for the rest of their lives -- which was a big deal in a time when a huge chunk of the population was subsistence farming. Popular winners were paid to make public appearances and attend other games, and appearance money was serious dough: Unlike the loose change ex-Real Worlders collect to show up at bar openings, a great athlete might make a hundred times the annual salary of a soldier for a single day's appearance.
Naturally, with political appointments, wealth, personal statues, and celebrity on the line, performance enhancement was a given and cheating was bound to happen. Athletes attempted spells, potions, herbs, oils, and alcohol. Even if the benefits were somewhat ... ethereal, the desire to get one over on competitors was very much real. Also, the ancient Olympics elevated cheating to an art form -- mostly because the punishments ranged from flogging to death. Despite the risks, athletes bribed judges and competitors, and as the Olympics progressed, various events could all be had for not-so-reasonable prices.

At least the ancient host city never changed, which meant no host city selection committee scandals. Instead of fighting to have their city host the games, ancient Greeks simply fought for control over the one city that did host the games, Elis. Just like today, hosting games meant profits from tens of thousands of spectators and hundreds of vendors jostling for the right to sell their kebabs, tchotchkes, and poorly made souvenirs. The ancient games were just as highly commercialized as today's Olympics, although as far as we know the ancient Greeks went several centuries without a single sperm-shaped mascot.

So they've got one up on us in that regard.
#1. Ancient Greece Was a Progressive Beacon of Reason
The Myth:
Before the Roman Empire came along and conquered the world, reason, logic, and civility ruled in ancient Greece, where during any random late-night beer run you could run into Aristotle and Plato in line at the cash register. The whole country was a liberal arts major's wet dream. Truly, the era was a golden age for humanity.
"... and that's the best way to break your poop up with a stick so it'll flush."
The Reality:
Ancient Greece resembled a modern-day sectarian war zone with constantly warring bands. That's not to say there weren't bright spots, or that Western culture doesn't owe a great deal to said bright spots -- we'd just like to remind you that the ancient Greeks exiled, lynched, or executed some of the brighter among them. Ever heard of a guy named Socrates? Yep, executed.
"We wanted to let him live, but he just refused to put a shirt on."
See, the Greece of popular imagination never actually existed, because there was no one "Greece." The Hellenic peninsula was home to over 1,000 city-states. And ancient Greeks identified with their city-state like patriotic gang members. Also, each gang had its own armies, governments, customs, and religions. Oh, and they all had slaves -- enough slaves to make the antebellum South seem downright forward-thinking by comparison. Because for all that talk about lofty ideas like freedom and democracy, the ancient Greeks possessed no qualms about enslaving their fellow man. Sure, some philosophers said enslaving fellow Greeks wasn't super cool, but then city-states like Sparta and Thessaly told them to take their philosophy and get bent by enslaving the entire populations of other city-states.
Oh, and freedom-loving, democratic Athens had more slaves than anybody. And while we're on the subject of the only democratic city-state, now's probably a good time to mention that democracy lasted in Athens for less than two centuries. Almost every ancient leading mind couldn't wait to return to tyranny, or literally any form of government other than democracy. Plato and Socrates weren't buying it, while Aristotle's shining defense for it was simply that it didn't suck quite as hard as other governments.
"I guess it's better than just, like, stabbing people until they agree or something."
So, while philosophical and cultural achievements were made in ancient Greece, they didn't spread too quickly or too far. Constant warfare and rivalry between city-states was only one impediment. The other? Less than 5 percent of those living in ancient Greece were literate. Most Greeks weren't the urban intellectuals of popular imagination; they were rural farmers and herders who most likely never ventured beyond their own city-state.
See, part of the problem is that we interpret the ancient Greeks through the works and words of those who were most prominent ... and those who were most prominent also happened to be their most exceptional minds. But the average ancient sheepherder didn't give two shits about logic, literature, or the theater -- he was too busy being a sheepherder who preferred the comfort and familiarity of superstition. So, expounding that situation to modern society, we can safely assume that in 2,000 years some future culture will be trying to construct an accurate picture of the U.S. based solely off of reality TV and superhero movies. And that picture will be awesome.

Angels are one of the most universally accepted forms of the supernatural. Almost every religion and non-religion incorporates angels of some kind. An angel is thought to be a spirit that serves as a guide, messenger or helper between a deity and humans.
The most popular form of angel is a guardian angel. We all like to believe that we have someone over us keeping watch, and some people have stories that make us believe that there must be some form of guardian angel in the world. Angels take many forms. They can be an invisible force or blend in with the rest of society. They might appear in dreams or just be a reassuring presence. But too many people have stories and believe in angels for there not to be some truth to the matter.
