Do they still make hardware-based word processors? I would like a portable, no-frills dedicated machine for writing. The Neo from Alpha Smart looks close but $150 seems excessive for calculator power in a big case. A used laptop might be an option but I'm worried about the additional weight and probable lack of support/warranty.
This ebay link might get you started. With ubiquitous cheap computing power, I bet some of the older stuff can be had really cheap, so long as the owners don't have unrealistic expectations about what it's worth.
(Looking through there, I'm getting a little nostalgic... I learned to type on a Brother Word Processor in 6th grade. Wrote my first "real" story (~30 pages) at that time. It was great because there was absolutely no distraction from the writing itself, and it did basic stuff like spell checking before outputting to a piece of typing paper. You could also use it as a typewriter if you wanted to. Of course, it wasn't really portable.)
If you have an existing smart phone, iPod Touch or similar device, you may be able to hack up a solution using a portable bluetooth keyboard and word processing app.
You could go for a small Mac laptop and try finding one with AppleCare. Apple does sell refurbished laptops with a warranty for less than list price.
If you can find one, a Z88 might be a good choice.
Full size keyboard with a pretty good feel, very reliable and it's nigh on impossible to out type it (though the display might take a second to catch up, I've never had a keystroke lost on mine).
I used a Neo for several years for NaNoWriMo. I loved it for writing first drafts. The features I loved the most:
I lost interest in my Neo when I bought my first smartphone. Though the Neo itself wasn't distracting me, its primary benefit—its "good only for typing" feature—was less useful to me now that my phone was a readily available, ultra-portable distraction machine.
Also, by that time I had learned to get myself into a drafting mood. So I could now write without interrupting myself for a few hours at a time, and I'd learned to draft without editing (much).
Finally, I had bought a MacBook Air, which wasn't much heavier, and which allowed me to write with the awesome power of Scrivener.
So I've moved on. Still, every now and then—when I find myself contorted in coach class behind a reclined seats, unable to fully open even my tiny MacBook Air—I find myself pining for my old Neo.
In defense of laptops (specifically netbooks) :
I think a pretty decent choice would be a netbook that is underpowered enough to keep you from using it for anything but word processing, and there are a variety of tools out there to block those kinds of activities if you so choose. I'm sure for typing that'd be a tricky prospect, but some of them have extraordinarily comfortable keyboards, you just have to find the right manufacturer.
My suggestion it to look into ChromeOS or another super-lightweight operating system (I personally prefer Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but Linux isn't for everyone) that will allow your computer to boot up in record time and still let you just write.
I personally ended up getting a used Dell XT2 from a friend for about 10% of what it costs new. I use it for a lot of things but it's a great little writing tool. The battery lasts about five hours if I keep the settings low and it boots up in about 30 seconds, so I like being able to just go straight to work on it and take it with me everywhere.
A quick Google search showed about 50+ sites where you can get netbooks for around a hundred dollars that come with a variety of warranties.
I just purchased an old Dell computer that is now a dedicated word processor. A computer guy in our city modified it for me, and I love it. Can't email, can't get online. (of course I have other computers.) But as an author of 7 novels, working on my 8th, I'm thrilled with this new/old tool. All I needed was a flashdrive to transfer my files and it works perfectly. I highly recommend this route for those who want a truly distraction-free,portable word-processor.

When was the last time you checked out local.woot? Have you found any good deals there?
I feel sorry for @slydon, @unclepilot, and @inkycatz... look at all the questions they've asked!
10 Answers answer
None of the local.woots are local to me, so I never go there. I believe the closest one is /dallas, and that's 200 miles away.
Another vote for never, except I'm like 1200 miles away from the closest one.
Maybe a month ago
I checked it about a month ago, before I was headed to Seattle for the weekend. None of the current deals were anything useful for me.
Oh wow, I completely forgot about it, especially since there were no deals close-by.
I didn't even know they had cloned the deals format over to local. It's not really of use to me, either, as the closest is 500 miles away...sometimes it's a hassle to use groupings that are 20 miles away :/
Maybe I would look occasionally if it showed up on the bar at the top, but it seems like the red-headed stepchild of the woot family.
Local Woot is comparable to Apple Maps .... a failure.
Closest city is a few hundred miles from me - if it had some closer deals, I would be all over it.
I can only agree with @rprebel, but add 200 miles to it.
I used it a month or so ago to get opinions on veterinarians as I was traveling to Seattle and my cat needed surgery. Not only was I given the name of a great doc, but I saved a huge amount of money!

Finding the positive integer solutions $(x,y)$ of the equation $x^2+3=y(x+2)$
Source: Art of Problem Solving Vol. 2
Any help would be appreciated.
Source: Art of Problem Solving Vol. 2
Any help would be appreciated.
Divide the polynomial $x^2+3$ by the polynomial $x+2$. We get $$\frac{x^2+3}{x+2}=x-2+\frac{7}{x+2}.$$ For an integer $x$, the value of $x-2+\frac{7}{x+2}$ is an integer if and only if $x+2$ divides $7$. The only positive integer $x$ for which this is true is given by $x=5$.
Comment: If we are interested in integer solutions, not necessarily positive, note that $x-2+\frac{7}{x+2}$ is an integer also at $x=-1$, $x=-3$, and $x=-9$.
HINT $\ $ Factor Theorem $\rm\:\Rightarrow\ x+2\ |\ f(x)\ \iff\ x+2\ |\ f(-2)\:,\ $ for all polynomials $\rm\ f(x)\in \mathbb Z[x]$

I'm wondering if I flash a custom ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy Nexus device, will it erase all my data (musics, pictures, etc.) due to its memory singularity?
Flashing a CustomROM (usually any ROM different to the one you're currently running) requires you to do a complete Wipe (well, at least it is strongly recommended for stability reasons) -- so the answer is probably: Yes. Data on an external SD card usually is not affected -- but as far as I remember, the GN has no such thing.
You might wish to consult the following Q&As for more information:
Just to be more clear: Data on (external|internal) SD-Card (the Nexus uses an internal eMMC instead of the external SD, if I'm correct) -- that is the place where you store your photos, videos, music files, etc. -- are not affected by the wipe. Just all "internal memory" -- i.e. the apps you installed, and all settings plus app data -- will be erased.
My understanding is that you'll need to unlock your bootloader in order to flash, and unlocking your bootloader will indeed wipe everything.

Computational Complexity and Natural Language heralds an entirely new way of looking at grammatical systems. It applies the recently developed computer science tool of complexity theory to the study of natural language. A unified and coherent account emerges of how complexity theory can probe the information-processing structure of grammars, discovering why a grammar is easy or difficult to process and suggesting where to look for additional grammatical constraints.

State government employees have offered tips that could save Kentucky as much as $5.4 million a year.
Personnel Secretary Tim Longmeyer honored 64 workers on Wednesday for suggestions to improve productivity and government services.
The Kentucky Employee Suggestion System, created in 1981 to encourage employees to practice good management, has been credited with saving the state nearly $270 million in the first five years alone.
Longmeyer said that shows the importance of the program, especially in tough economic times.
The employees can receive cash awards of $100 to $2,500 for money-saving suggestions. And $100 awards can be given for ideas that are adopted but have intangible savings.

Road to Uncasville for Thomaston, Capital Prep
Here's how the two teams in today's Class S girls basketball final got there:
Capital Prep
No. 1 seed
First round: Bye
Second round: 79-21 over No. 16 Old Saybrook. Six-foot-1 sophomore forward Kiah Gillespie scored 20 points and had 16 rebounds, 11 on the offensive glass. Desire Elmore, a 6-foot freshman forward, had 25 points, and junior guard Taylor Williams added 17.
Quarterfinals: 105-27 over No. 24 Valley Regional. The Trailblazers led, 30-3, after one period and 55-11 at halftime. Elmore scored 30, Williams 23 and Gillespie 22. Gillespie also grabbed 19 rebounds and blocked eight shots.
Semifinals: 94-38 over No. 4 Morgan: Gillespie was a monster again with 30 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman guard Shaquana Edwards hit for 21 points. The Trailblazers earned the wrath of Morgan coach Joe Grippo, who accused them of running up the score. "It's just inexcusable for another coach to do that to another team, and we'll just leave it there," Grippo told the Shoreline Times.
No. 3 seed
First round: Bye.
Second round: 64-41 over No. 14 Lyman Memorial. Five-foot-3 senior guard Maggie Eberhardt scored 23 points, 5-5 senior guard Sydney Keith added 10 and 5-10 junior forward Abby Hurlbert contributed nine points.
Quarterfinals: 54-42 over No. 22 Hyde Leadership. The Howling Wolves outrebounded the Golden Bears, 46-22, but were undone by 22 turnovers. Eberhardt scored 15 points, including four key foul shots at the end. Hurlbert had 15 points and eight rebounds, and Keith scored 10.
Semifinals: 46-34 over No. 10 East Windsor. The Bears reached the state final for the first time in nearly two decades as Eberhardt dominated the game, scoring 24 points and hitting four 3-pointers. Hurlbert netted eight points for Thomaston, which forced 24 turnovers by East Windsor. "I have dreamed about it and now it has become reality," said Hurlbert of playing for a state title.

Governance and Tripartism Department
Labour law, industrial relations and social dialogue are at the core of ILO member States' economic and social organization. Sound industrial relations and effective social dialogue are a means to promote better wages and working conditions as well as peace and social justice. As instruments of good governance they foster cooperation and economic performance, helping to create an enabling environment for the realization of the objective of Decent Work at the national level.
Changes in the world of work pose numerous challenges to industrial relations institutions and actors, labour legislation and collective bargaining processes. They also create new impetus for innovative practices. Moreover, labour law needs to reflect the evolving labour market situation and address current needs and challenges.
"in a world of growing interdependence and complexity and the internationalization of production, [...] social dialogue and the practice of tripartism between governments and the representative organizations of workers and employers within and across borders are now more relevant to achieving solutions and to building up social cohesion and the rule of law through, among other means, international labour standards"

National Tripartite Social Dialogue. An ILO guide for improved governance.
Constituents have asked the ILO for support to establish a framework within which member States can promote tripartite social dialogue at the national level. This guide is a response to this request.
It is meant to offer constituents a range of options when establishing a mechanism for national tripartite social dialogue or when reinforcing the existing system. However, the guide is not meant to be a normative document. It draws on the stipulations of international labour standards and on the lessons learned and experience gained by the ILO over the years in promoting social dialogue and providing policy advice, capacity building and practical guidance to tripartite constituents in all regions of the world.

Pronounced: pem-e-TREX-ed
Classification: Antifolate Antineoplastic Agent
About Pemetrexed
Pemetrexed works by blocking three separate enzymes that cells need to replicate. These enzymes, needed for folate-dependent metabolic processes, are required for DNA replication. Therefore, inhibiting these enzymes inhibits cellular growth.
How to Take Pemetrexed
Pemetrexed is given by intravenous (IV) infusion. It is typically given once every 21 days. The dose is based on the patient's height and weight. A steroid medication is often given before pemetrexed to decrease skin rash. Folic acid supplements should be given for at least 5 out of 7 days prior to the first dose of pemetrexed, throughout treatment and for three weeks after the last dose is given. An injection of vitamin B12 should be given before the first dose of pemetrexed, and then about every 9 weeks during treatment. These vitamin supplementations will decrease the side effects you experience. Speak with your provider concerning the specific dosing of steroids, folic acid and B12 and timing of these medications.
Let your healthcare provider know all medications, vitamins and supplements you are taking as some can interfere with pemetrexed. Be sure to notify your care provider if you take any form of NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) such as aspirin or ibuprofen because, taken in conjunction with pemetrexed, can cause kidney problems.
Possible Side Effects of Pemetrexed
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of pemetrexed. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia or Neutropenia)
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
Low Red Blood Cell Count (Anemia)
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion.
Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia)
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Decrease in Appetite
Nutrition is an important part of your care. Cancer treatment can affect your appetite and, in some cases, the side effects of treatment can make eating difficult. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services at your treatment center to help with food choices.
Fatigue is very common during cancer treatment and is an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion that is not usually relieved by rest. While on cancer treatment, and for a period after, you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods and absorbs fluid, which can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange sections, boiled potatoes, white rice, products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration.
Mouth Ulcers (Sores)
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Skin Changes/Rash
These include dryness, itching, and rash. You should use a moisturizer on your skin and lips, but avoid moisturizers with perfumes or scents. Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication if itching is bothersome. If your skin does crack or bleed, be sure to keep the area clean to avoid infection. Rash related to this medication typically occurs between doses and resolves before the next dose. A rash can result in blistering or peeling of the skin. Notify your oncology team if you develop a rash.
Other Side Effects
Some less common side effects that have been reported include: shortness of breath, blood clots, and an allergic reaction to the medication. Report any side effects to your healthcare provider.
Reproductive Concerns
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment. Even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm, you could still be fertile and conceive. A woman should stop breastfeeding while on this medication because it is unknown if the medication can be passed through breast milk.

So my resolution changes, but the problem is the resolution does not fit well to the screen. Seems like some pixels to the top (around 10px) are not viewable, and the width does not fit as well, there are huge black spaces on the left and right of the screen. Adjusting width settings on monitor messes up my font. On Windows, 1366x768 works very well, any ideas how to fix this?

Fletcher man charged with breaking into homes
Published: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 8:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 8:03 p.m.
A Fletcher man was arrested and charged Tuesday with breaking into two homes in Asheville, and a Fletcher woman described by police as his "accomplice" was also taken into custody.
Joshua Weems, 27, of 285 Howard Gap Road, was charged by the Asheville Police Department with two residential breaking-and-enterings in the Kenilworth neighborhood. He faces two counts of felony breaking and entering and two counts of felony larceny after breaking and entering.
Brittany Warren, 19, of 512 Willis Way, was charged with a pretrial release violation. She was on probation for a Jackson County conviction at the time of her arrest. She was scheduled to appear in Buncombe County District Court on Tuesday.
Warren is being held in the Buncombe County jail in lieu of a $50,000 secured bond. Weems is being held under secured bonds totaling $20,000.
Additional charges are expected, linking the duo to a string of crimes in the Kenilworth area, the police department said in a news release.
Outside of her most recent charge, Warren also faces three felony counts of breaking and entering, two felony counts of larceny after breaking and entering, two felony counts of possessing stolen goods and two felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses.
She faces one count each of felony possession of heroin; misdemeanor simple possession of a schedule I controlled substance – a schedule that includes heroin; misdemeanor simple possession of a schedule III controlled substance – a category that includes Ketamine and barbituates; misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia; and misdemeanor possession of marijuana up to a half-ounce.
In a Jackson County court on July 2, Warren was convicted of larceny from an offense on Oct. 5 and was given a suspended jail sentence in exchange for a year of probation.

John Atkinson Grimshaw was born in Leeds in 1836 and, after overcoming his parents resistance to his choice of career, became a highly successful and well-liked oil painter of the nineteenth century, known above all for his painting of urban moonlit landscapes.
Much of Grimshaws early work demonstrates an inspiration which stemmed from the writings of John Ruskin and the paintings of the pre-Raphaelites. In addition, Grimshaw made good use of the technology of the day by using photography and the camera obscura to help in the composition of his paintings and in the creation of repeats.
In the 1860s, Grimshaw became fascinated with the effects of moonlight and sunsets on landscapes, townscapes and dockyards in Glasgow, Liverpool, Whitby, London and Scarborough. So successful were his paintings of these scenes that, in 1870, Grimshaw was able to move with his family to a Jacobean house, Knolstrop Hall, in Leeds.
The house and its surroundings became the basis for a number of Grimshaws moonlit masterpieces, which he first showed at The Royal Academy in 1874. His work is now exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums around the world. Grimshaw died in 1893 and several of his children also became successful artists of their day.

I made these on Friday morning for Canada Day. Delicious! The walk-through video was very helpful.
So easy too. Something to make when you're looking to impress but don't have a lot of time.

OH. MUH. GAWD. We just made these and our usual modus operandi is to make sweets, keep enough for one or two days and give the rest away. We'd already packed up the give aways when we tasted these and promptly unpacked them. We'll be keeping these for ourselves, thank you very much. So delicious!

Ok, I love the Vimeo posts, mostly because they help me get a handle on the time frame for a recipe. Also, they provide visual confirmation that I'm doing things right.
These strawberry biscuits were sweet and fluffy and so berry good. I loved serving them tonight to my husband and daughter, stuffed with strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and a single scoop of SOY ice cream.
I would have loved to serve myself some too, but I had already eaten two of the biscuits straight out of the oven. Thankfully, there's always tomorrow.

These rocked! I made them for my wife for her birthday breakfast. I substituted strawberries with blueberries and the soy milk for almond milk since my wife is avoiding soy right now.
If anyone else uses almond milk, you should probably add a little extra flour in the recipe since it has less protein. It makes the dough a little wetter than vegandad's. You could also do what I did and just add lots of flour during the folding.

Craftsman 10 Pattern Front Trigger Nozzle for $4.99
Regularly $9.99. Free shipping to store.
If you're like me, you leave at least one nozzle outside all winter and end up needing new ones. This one is pretty decent, at a good price.
3 Comments add a comment
comes up 6.99 for me
@kmeltzer I too always loose a nozzle or two to the elements over the Winter. Yes, @southdakota the nozzle rang up $6.99 for me as well.
@mattysc: It's 'lose', not 'loose'.

Kale, Kale, the Gang's All Here!
This vegetable is a nutrition powerhouse, and once you recognize it as 'cabbage light' and cook it like spinach, you will find it easy to add this vitamin punch to your table!
One cup of kale has 210% of your daily requirement for Vitamin A, 130% of your vitamin C, Vitamin K & B6, and 10% of your calcium, making it the best plant source for calcium!)
It also carries the plant form of Omega-3 fatty acids. So quick, put this on your plate!
Sausage and Wilted Kale
Serving Size : 4
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 ounces turkey kielbasa sausage -- cut into bite-sized pieces
1 bunch kale -- washed and stemmed, then chiffonade (thin strips)
1/2 cup white wine -- or chicken broth
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
2 cups cooked pasta -- brown rice or wheat
1/2 cup red bell pepper -- cut in 1/2" squares
1/4 cup pine nuts (pignolia) -- toasted

Suppose $a$ and $b$ are functions of $x$. Is it guaranteed that $$ \lim_{x \to +\infty} a + b\text{ does not exist} $$ when $$ \lim_{x \to +\infty} a = c\quad\text{and}\quad \lim_{x \to +\infty} b\text{ does not exist ?} $$
Yes. If the limit of $a+b$ existed, it would follow that
$$\lim_{x \to +\infty}b=\lim_{x \to +\infty} [(a + b) - a]=\lim_{x \to +\infty}(a+b)-\lim_{x \to +\infty}a\;.$$
Suppose, to get a contradiction, that our limit exists. That is, suppose $$\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} a(x)+b(x)=d$$ exists. Then since $$\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} -a(x)=-c,$$ and as limits are additive, we conclude that $$\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} a(x)+b(x)-a(x)=d-c$$ which means $$\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} b(x)=d-c.$$ But this is impossible since we had that $b(x)$ did not tend to a limit.
Hope that helps,
HINT $\ $ This follows immediately from the fact that functions whose limit exists at $\rm\:\infty\:$ are closed under subtraction, i.e. they comprise an additive subgroup of all functions. Therefore, abstractly, this is essentially the same as the proof that the sum of an integer and non-integer is a non-integer. For further discussion of this complementary view of a subgroup see this post.
Just to complete joriki's answer:
His answer is right only if $c$ is a number, which seems to be the case from the way you wrote the question.
Anyhow if you deal also with infinite limits, it is possible that $\lim_{x \to \infty}b$ does not exist and $\lim_{x \to \infty} a+b$ exists.
Just take $a=x-\sin(x)$ and $b=\sin(x)$.

St. Joseph County Animal Control director Tom Miller said the agency has a longstanding policy against carcass removal.
Responding to recent comments about the agency's lack of action regarding a dead dog on U.S. 131, north of North Main Street April 5, Miller said the policy is in place due to a lack of staffing.
"Carcass removal falls under the duties of the Good Samaritan," Miller said. "Now, during my travels, if I happen to come upon a dog or cat, even a tree limb or someone's garbage can blown into the roadway, I'll get out and do something about it."
Miller, who said he has buried his share of dead dogs through the years on his own time, said the policy doesn't imply the agency is heartless regarding the loss of someone's pet. Technically, however, removal of a pet is the responsibility of its owner.
In the aforementioned case in Lockport Township, Miller said Three Rivers code-enforcement officer Josh Shook ended up removing the dead dog from the roadway and onto the shoulder, even though the location was out of his jurisdiction.
"It's not true that nobody does nothing," Miller said. "You just do what you can within your scope and in this case, Josh did what he could."
Though the policy may not be popular, Miller said the department can't spend its time removing dead cats or dogs when investigations of abuse or a report of a dangerous dog, for example, take precedence.
Miller also clarified that despite what was claimed, the department does record information when someone comes across a dog or cat — living or dead — that obviously is a pet and not feral.
"We do record any information we can get so when someone calls reporting a lost dog, they don't have to drive all over the place if we have a record of it being along the road or — under circumstances I'd prefer — reported that it was sighted somewhere," Miller said. "We have reunited more people with their dogs than you would ever guess and I do take exception to claims that we don't care — lazy and uncaring are some pretty hurtful words."
He said the dead dog that prompted the original complaint was the victim of unfortunate timing, as the incident occurred late on a Friday afternoon. Had it occurred during weekday business hours, Miller said Michigan Department of Transportation would likely have sent a truck and crew to remove the carcass.

This was of course motivated by this question.
Suppose $\kappa<\theta$ are uncountable regular cardinals. Given a structure ${\mathcal A}=(H_\theta,\in,<,\dots)$ where < is a well-ordering, let $C_{\mathcal A}=${$\sup(M\cap\kappa)\mid M\prec{\mathcal A}\mbox{ and }|M|<\kappa$}. Then $C_{\mathcal A}$ contains a club. Under what (reasonably general) circumstances can we guarantee that $C_{\mathcal A}$ actually is (respectively, is not) a club?

Smithsonian Institute
The Smithsonian Institute, also called "the nation's attic," is the largest museum in the world. It is vast, comprising 17 museums and the National Zoo in DC, and two museums in New York City. In 1829, James Smithson of London died and bequeathed his fortune to the people of the United States to create a research and educational institution. The Smithsonian Institute was officially founded in 1846, with the first museum opening that year. Pictured is "The Castle," the first building of the institute and now the Smithsonian Information Center.
Fun Fact: $508,318 is the amount of money Smithson left to the United States in 1829.

Study abroad on the CSB/SJU newest program. Coventry is a lively United Kingdom city with a rich history embracing the old and new. The city situated in central England provides a wonderful location that combines city life with the English countryside. In addition, you are close to some of the most historic, cultural, and scenic areas of the UK with Shakespeare's hometown along with Warwick Castle all close by. London is only 1.5 hour train ride away from the hustle and bustle of London.
There is not a CSB/SJU faculty who accompanies this study abroad program. On this program, you direct enroll at Coventry University for the semester. Coventry University is a major UK university of 15,000 students with cutting edge courses and great links in the sports industry in and out of the UK. On this program, courses are specialized in Sports Marketing and Management. On this program, you will take courses with other students from this University in a small set of course choices. The campus is ideally located near city center, so it is close to shops, and restaurants.
For details on courses and credits please refer to page 2 of the Coventry brochure.
Students on this program have a lot of opportunities to get involved on and off campus. A highlight of this program is the required international internship with a sports team at the University or City Club. This is a pre-professional, field-based experience that students can begin to apply classroom theory to practice. An international internship provides an opportunity to experience working life in another country, and challenges pre-conceived notions of cultures and of the professional world.
Participants on the London program will live in furnished flats (apartments) or in on campus residence hall. In the flat, there are single sex bedrooms, but the kitchen and living rooms areas are shared by Johnnies and Bennies. Also residing in the same building, are students from Coventry and other international students. Some meals are included in the program fee, and students have access to shared furnished kitchen facilities in their flats or student residence. Students have use of the computer lab (e-mail and Internet) at the University along with access to the Fitness Center, Library, and student clubs and organizations.
The approximate program dates for Coventry-England are: mid-January to late June (spring semester).
For more information on the "Program Fees" for this program, please refer to the Coventry Program Brochure for specific information. Another great resource is the Financing your Experience brochure. Also included in this brochure is information regarding scholarships and financial aid.

Very, very Irish.
Very, very Irish.
Flicking through the Xbox dashboard I see two "Popular now" boxes. One has the terrible Spider-man film contained within and the other has... Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. There is hope yet for mankind.
I like having the extra commentary documentary from Darkplace dvd, running in the background even if I go to sleep.
Watching Xmans Dr Who special. Peak so far was the new girl running in a low-cut top. More of this please Mr BBC. Other than that I am already stunned rigid by how dull it is.
I like the new companion not being from the current day and Richard E Grant being in it and the aforementioned boobs (ok she has a pretty face too) but that's about it.
I just remember when she was gay in Emmerdale...
Sighhh you girl
Watched an episode of Vexed, quite like it, shame I'm missing half the series :S
Hah I didn't know that. I did know he was one of the most well paid television actors and the best paid on the show and now that makes a bit more sense.
HIMYM is dire by this point, it's sickening to watch. If they were dumb enough to carry on ploughing it into the ground without Segal I'd fine that more amusing than the show itself.
We just watched American Horror Story and it's reallllllyyy goood.
Season 1 or 2? Both are good but 2 is shaping up to be my fav.
Finally watched Game of Thrones.
Just. Fucking. Wow.
I love you HBO.
I didn't realise it was already back on, that's something to watch tomorrow and I hear there's a musical number 0_0
Just watched season two of 'The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret' on netflix. This bit is from the finale. The Will Arnett gold starts about a minute in and lasts until about seven minutes in.

I am a new sharepoint developer. I am creating a web template from scratch in visual studio.
I am finding it time consuming when creating/editing pages in visual studio e.g. adding web parts to pages etc.
To combat this what i have started to do is create the pages in sharepoint designer (add web parts to the pages etc). After i have done this i copy and paste the markup into visual studio.
Is this bad practice? Are there any better ways to do this?

Amazon to offer same day shipping?
Did you see Amazon may begin offering same day shipping? Would you be more likely to pay a little more than retail to save the hassle of shopping in the store?
11 Answers answer
Could you provide a link to the source of this information?
@proxgotsthafia: Oops! I even copied the link before I added the question... http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/amazon-offer-same-day-delivery-change-way-shop-151801298.html
I would pay a premium for the service.
I work 8am-? and am not always able to get to the store. Amazon is cheaper for many of the items I purchase anyways.
It would depend how much extra and what it was I was buying, but it seems like a cool idea. I don't think I would like paying sales tax if they have to put more distribution centers in more states though.
What sounds even better is Amazon's yesterday shipping...you probably need prime though
Not interested in same day shipping. Don't want/need that instant gratification. Nope. I'm one who uses Free Super Saver Shipping. Won't even spend the $79 (?) a year for the 2 day shipping w/Prime.
Will admit that woot's snail shipping has tried my patience at times. Yet, sometimes it's worth the wait if you're saving money. Also, the $5 a day is nice. ...Even if I do think they raised the prices on most items to compensate. But, I digress....
@zl1: I think they are planning expanded distrubiton centers since they are soon going to be forced to collect tax regardless. Something like 10 states are already slated over the next year to begin charging tax even though they have no presence. They have probably been holding off on this due to the tax thing, but now trying to make a positive out of it.
I totally read that as "same day stripping" and was impressed to see that it is actually possible for Amazon to offer an even broader range of inventory.
Not in this case. I don't need anything fast enough to have it delivered that day. If I need it that badly I will go get it.
It would depend on how badly I needed an item quickly, what the same day shipping cost and how much time and fuel it would cost me to get the item on my own...
Time is money and a gallon of fuel costing X lets me travel Y miles...
Getting a Prime membership with Amazon has changed the way I shop. If I need something I'll check Amazon first. It is all about convenience, selection, price and saving time.
Slate has an excellent article about how Amazon's recent about face on paying state taxes is a precursor to next day or same day delivery. http://www.slate.com/articles/business/small_business/2012/07/amazon_same_day_delivery_how_the_e_commerce_giant_will_destroy_local_retail_.html
If they every extend Prime benefits to Woot, I'll be in deep trouble.
Heard about this on the news a few days ago. Should take an even bigger bite out of brick & mortar retailers....

When I was in Israel a few years back I tried this really great street food. I had gotten the recipe, but now have lost it and don't remember what it was called. It is a cross between a pancake and a bread. The one I had had za'atar, thin sliced tomatoes, and red onion fried into one side and was flipped over. Does anyone know what this is called?
I was able to track down the dish. It is called Lahuhe.
Thank you to everyone for trying to help me out.
Sounds like a variation on פיתה זעתר "Pita Za'atar". It's just a thick focaccia-style Pita with Za'atar (at a minimum)... the local street vendors add other random pizza-style stuff like tomatoes, onions, etc. almost exactly like traditional Neapolitan Pizza. The source of the word "Pizza" is Pita of course... it's exactly the same concept.
The recipe is pretty simple:
Combine and eat. The end.
My guess it's either Druze Pita (Recipe and photos on YouTube) or Man'oushe (Lebanese pizza)

I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 10 with its Spatial Analyst extension.
How do I combine multiple rasters into one, always choosing randomly from the values of overlapping cells?
I have an image that may explain this better:
I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 10 with its Spatial Analyst extension.
How do I combine multiple rasters into one, always choosing randomly from the values of overlapping cells?
I have an image that may explain this better:
Pick was created for problems like this. Think of it as the "switch" (or "case") version of "con", which is the map algebra implementation of "if...else."
If there are 3 overlapping rasters, for instance, the (Python) syntax would look like
Note that
(see the comment thread)
To cope with NoData values, first you need to turn off ArcGIS's NoData handling. Do this by creating grids that have a special (but valid) value in place of NoData, such as 99999 (or whatever: but make sure to choose a value that is larger than any valid number that can appear: this will be handy later). This requires use of the IsNull request, as in
For example, consider the case of these one-row grids (NoData is shown as "*"):
The result is to put a 99999 in place of each "*".
Next, imagine all these rasters as flat arrays of wooden blocks with NoData corresponding to missing blocks (holes). When you vertically stack these rasters, blocks will fall into any holes beneath them. We need that behavior to avoid picking NoData values: we don't want any vertical gaps in the stacks of blocks. The order of the blocks in each tower doesn't really matter. To this end, we can obtain each tower by ranking the data:
In the example, we obtain
Note that the ranks are from lowest to highest, so that q01 contains the lowest values at each location, q02 contains the second-lowest, etc. The NoData codes don't start showing up until all the valid numbers are collected, because those codes are larger than any valid numbers.
In order to avoid picking these NoData codes during the random selection, you need to know how many blocks are stacked at each location: this tells us how many valid values occur. One way to handle this is to count the number of NoData codes and subtract that from the total number of selection grids:
This yields
To handle the cases where n=0 (so there's nothing available to select), set them to NoData:
This will also guarantee that your (temporary) NoData codes disappear in the final calculation. Generate random values between 1 and n:
For instance, this raster might look like
All its values lie between 1 and the corresponding value in [n].
Select values exactly as before:
This would result in
To check that all is ok, try selecting all output cells that have the NoData code (99999 in this example): there shouldn't be any.
Although this running example uses only three grids to select from, I have written it in a way that generalizes easily to any number of grids. With lots of grids, writing a script (to loop over the repeated operations) will be invaluable.
Using python and ArcGIS 10 and using the con function which has the following syntax:
The idea here is to see if the value in the random raster is less than 0.5, if it is choose raster1, otherwise choose raster2.
EDIT: Just realized that you are not adding the
I would just create a random raster (help) of the same extent and cell size. Then using CON (help) set it to pick value from 1st raster if cell from randomized raster has a value < 128 (if a random raster would be 0 - 255) otherwise pick a value from 2nd raster.
Hope that makes sense :)

Biathletes Meet Strict Gun Control in Sochi
SOCHI, Russia—The most carefully guarded sporting equipment in the Winter Olympics lies behind the door of a sealed-off corridor in a stadium near the upper reaches of the Caucasus Mountains. It is monitored at all hours by security guards who open the door only for its owners. And even then, they need personalized keys to retrieve it from their lockers. For biathletes, the security measures are just one more reminder: It isn't easy getting your equipment around the Olympics when your equipment includes a .22-caliber rifle.
Only the biathlon, which combines cross-country skiing with target shooting, requires athletes to carry firearms on their backs. And while many countries allow biathletes to take their rifles back to their hotel rooms, Russia has stricter rules.
When biathletes arrived in Sochi, their rifles were taken off their planes and delivered directly to the biathlon venue, which is the only place they can access them. Biathletes must sign out their rifles when they arrive and sign them back in before they leave. Every box of ammunition must also be signed out and accounted for.
The measures are similar to those used at previous Olympics, and Russia isn't the only country with such tight controls. But it is among the strictest. "There aren't a lot of other countries like that," said U.S. biathlete Sara Studebaker.
For American biathletes in particular, it represents a stark change from what they are accustomed to at home.
"In the U.S., for a biathlon rifle, it's really pretty simple," Team USA's Leif Nordgren said. "To be honest, no one really seems to care too much. When you're done with training, you throw your rifle into the back of the car and bring it into the house."
There are reasons biathletes like to take their rifles home or back to a hotel. Away from the mountain, many of them hang sheets of paper with five black dots on bedroom or living room walls, which mimics the targets in a race. They use them for a training method called dry firing, in which they aim at the dots with their rifles unloaded and pull the trigger.
Before a typical race day, they can do this casually—before bed the previous night or just after breakfast, for instance. But at the Olympics, the security measures bring those routines to a halt once biathletes step out of the competition venue. "You just kind of adjust your schedule," said U.S. biathlete Lanny Barnes.
Some biathletes get a little apprehensive about leaving their rifles in the care of strangers, whether it's at the Olympics or at an airport. While the size of the rifles is standard, the stocks are highly customized to fit biathletes' bodies. They can cost several thousand dollars, and biathletes tend to keep the same ones for several years. Some even nickname their rifles.
"It's a sport that requires you to hit something the size of an Oreo cookie at 50 yards while you're at maximum physical exertion," Team USA's Lowell Bailey said. "You need a rifle that fits you absolutely perfectly."
With their rifles on lockdown at the mountain, there is little for biathletes to worry about. But U.S. biathletes say there have been occasional travel issues. An airline briefly lost their rifles while returning from a race in Geneva in December, delaying their delivery for a week. As a result, some separation anxiety lingers.
"We have a very interesting relationship with our rifles," Studebaker said. "It always makes us nervous when we're separated from them."

I have a preview Windows 8 from a friend and right now I am downloading the ISO from 12.04 Alpha. I want to know if I will be able to boot Ubuntu from the same PC that has Windows 8 taking into consideration that the motherboard has UEFI. I ask because of the whole Windows 8 blocking other OS's issue.
It is not Windows 8 that locks down the bootloader, it is the BIOS. Windows cannot stop a program from writing to the MBR if it is turned off. The BIOS can, however, refuse to boot if the hash of the boot sector is not what it is expecting.
The best way to handle this situation is to disable UEFI, or, if your setup is similar to mine, it can handle UEFI+Legacy booting... Suffice it to say, I disabled UEFI immediately.
If you're the technogeek kind, and say, want to run a hackintosh setup, you can kiss it goodbye with UEFI.
It's just a method of locking your computer down from yourself, call it a corporate, closed source control mechanism, because if you're smart, you don't get boot-time viruses in the first place.

TORONTO - The Toronto girls basketball team used a tremendous defensive effort in the first half and cruised to a 45-27 win over Madonna Monday despite head coach Mallory Blanton missing the game due to illness.
"Mallory has the flu so she was out for this game and Coach (Ed) Weidge(r) and I stepped in for this game," said Toronto assistant coach Rich Coburn. "The girls pretty much know the program and how it runs so before I even went in there to say anything they knew the game plan right off the bat.
"The girls played hard with each other. They have a great camaraderie with each other which we really like."

RED KNIGHTS WIN — Toronto's Mariah Turner grabs a defensive rebound during the second half of Monday's 45-27 win against Madonna in Toronto. - Fred Younce
The Red Knights jumped out to a 10-4 lead after one quarter, only to look even more impressive in the second by outscoring the Blue Dons 12-3 to secure a 22-7 halftime advantage.
"Honestly I was kind of worried coming in," said Coburn. "You always hear that a team's young, but they have great coaching over there with Coach (Don) Ogden and Coach (Rusty) Hodgkiss. They always have their teams ready to play. I thought we came out playing well.
"I thought the hustle was there and I thought the intensity was there. We wanted to get out fast. I think this might give us a little confidence that we may have needed coming off the first three games. I think they all played really well.
"It was nice to see some kids get in and hit some shots."
Only a pair of Blue Dons scored in the first half - Monica Bragg had five and Rachel Grubbs had two - as Toronto's pressure defense caused problems for head coach Don Ogden's young squad all evening.
"I think it's the youth, but I also think it was Toronto did a nice job of playing defense," said Ogden. "They took away passing lanes and forced us to get out of our offense. It was a little bit of both, but I give a lot of credit to Toronto.
"They were a major factor why we weren't able to run our offense today."
Lindsay Bodnar and Mariah Turner were the main offensive weapons in the first half for Toronto with Bodnar scoring 10, including a pair of three-pointers, and Turner scoring all nine of her points.
"I think we didn't come out and play the shooter," said Ogden. "I don't think we were very aggressive defending the outside. We didn't do a very good job of rebounding.
"We can pick anything out of a hat and it probably applied to tonight's game."
For the game Bodnar went on to lead all scorers with 15 points. Bragg led the Blue Dons with 11 despite leaving with an injury late in the third quarter.
The Red Knights move to 2-3 with their second consecutive win and take on Jefferson County Christian School at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the Milsop Community Center.
"Filling in for Mallory I didn't really look at the scoreboard that much," said Coburn. "Probably not as much as I should have, but they came out playing well. We hope we can take this to the next level.
"We'll get ready to come in Saturday and face JCCS."
Madonna (1-2) travels to Bridgeport Thursday.
"We're playing everybody," said Ogden. "When you're as young as we are, and that's not an excuse, everyone just needs to get game experience. That's the best way to get game experience, by coming off the bench.
"We rotate a little bit. We're still looking at girls. Every position is still open, and that's an opportunity for every girl to show what's she's got."

From Ralph Hipp
Dr. Martin Luther King would turn 83 this week if it were not for his assassination in Memphis back in '68. What an incredibly crazy year that was. (One of the final photos of Dr. King is featured here.) Dr. King was in Memphis to support striking sanitation workers in their drive to gain equal pay for their work. Above the marches and speeches, was Dr. King's dream of bringing African Americans into the economic mainstream of America back in that time (and for all time.)
Topeka is the focal point on the nation's dream of also providing equal educations for all children, black, white, Hispanic and whatever population they are from. Any readings of the remarkable accomplishments of African Americans in all facets of our society must show that we have come a long way on that.
In political equality, we can only imagine what Dr. King would think of President Barack Obama, either positive or negative in his first 3 years on the job! But that would have to be considered a large step on the way to the completion of the dream.
Please offer us your thoughts on Dr. King's legacy and something we should all strive for in decades to come.. that we all strive to be out best, no matter where we come from, and that America should give opportunities to our very best, no matter what their race.

Bad Check Unit
Even with the growing popularity of debit card use, each year thousands of bad checks are written in Boone County. The Prosecuting Attorney's Office will help you if you and/or your business have received a bad check.
We will first give the check writer an opportunity to pay for the check(s) without filing a criminal charge. This is done in the form of a 10-day demand letter. If the check writer provides payment to the prosecutor's office within this time period, you will receive payment from the Boone County Treasurer.
Failure to make the check good within this 10-day period provides the prosecutor's office with a legal presumption of the check writer's intent to defraud. If the check, service charge, and processing fees are not paid within ten days, the Prosecuting Attorney's Office determines whether criminal charges can be filed. If charges are filed, a criminal summons or arrest warrant will be issued and once served or arrested, the check writer appears in court. If the defendant pleads guilty, the court pronounces sentence. If the defendant pleads not guilty, a trial date is set and the witnesses may be required to appear to testify.
In some cases, the bad check writer is sentenced to serve time in prison or the county jail. In these situations, the defendant serves the time ordered by the court and no restitution is paid. Often, however, the defendant may be placed on probation. When probation is ordered, the judge has the power to order the defendant to pay restitution as a condition of probation. When restitution is collected as a condition of probation you will be paid by the Boone County Circuit Clerk.
A recent change in Missouri bad check laws, allows for prosecution of a bad check or any other form of presentment involving the transmission of account information for the payment of money, knowing that there were insufficient funds in or on deposit with that account. These transactions are electronic funds transfers (EFT). Two types of EFT that fall under Section 570.120 are listed below:
Point-of-Sale (POS) Transactions: Some debit cards (also referred to as check cards) can be used when shopping to allow the transfer of funds from the consumer's account to the merchant's account. When funds are not available the transaction may be returned for insufficient funds.
Pre-authorized Transfers: This is a method of automatically withdrawing funds from an individual's account when the account holder authorizes the withdrawal of funds for payment of bills.

March 10, 2014
NYU Berlin, in collaboration with NYU Steinhardt's Department of Art and Art Professions and Deutsches Haus of NYU present the third annual group exhibition reflecting students' Berlin experience.
The opening reception will be Thursday, March 13, at 6:30 p.m. at Deutsches Haus, 42 Washington Mews, New York, N.Y. ((enter the Mews from University Place).
Berlin Becoming focuses on Berlin as a place undergoing a constant flux of renovation both symbolically and physically. As such, the work on display brings together a diverse yet intensely personal account of Berlin's influence on students' practices in formal and conceptual ways.
Grappling with Berlin's complex and dynamic context of colliding histories, destruction and the ongoing reinvention of hope and progress, the resulting works synthesize these various concepts, conveying ideas surrounding development, evolution, and adaptability as well as an atmosphere of mutability encouraging transient and momentary identities that result in everyday poetry. Ultimately, the exhibition aims to consider Berlin's power to illicit experimentation and propel creative energy.
Berlin Becoming showcases work by students from New York University's Steinhardt Department of Art and Art Professions as well as NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Participating artists include: Alyssa Steiger, Arielle Stein, Azelea Tang, Brandy Antonio, Christina Tsui, Emma Strebel, Ian Korer & Matthew Bond, Jaclyn Levy, Julie Stopper, Logan Criley, Maansi Jain, and Sammy Dalati. The exhibition also awards the "NYU Berlin Culture Brewery Prize 2014," which affords the winner(s) $1,000 intended for a return trip to Berlin.
Events at Deutsches Haus are free of charge. Please indicate that you would like to attend this event by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Space at Deutsches Haus is limited, please arrive ten minutes prior to the event. For further information, call 212.998.8660.

Is it possible to download neighborhood boundaries from OpenStreetMap? I see on maps that they often indicate neighborhood names; is there a way to retrieve their coordinates and boundary polygon coordinates, much like the Zillow Neighborhood Boundaries data set?
New service from MySociety last week will get Administrative Boundaries for your chosen city.
Example Paris
UK has better data source as using the OpenData from Ordnance Survey
Example: Birmingham, UK
note different url request
Not from OpenStreetMap, but you can download Administrative Boundaries in many formats from the Global Administrative Areas database. They are heirarchial in nature (country>province> town>village, etc) and relatively acurate for popular places. http://www.gadm.org/
@Mapperz has identified the best answer to the question...However, I don't feel that OSM is a the best resource available for this type of task.
FYI, in my experience, OSM rarely has boundaries for neighborhoods, it usually just has a centroid point label. Other sources would probably be better for boundaries. If you want to check, though, you can look up areas with Nominatim, and see what is in your areas of interest. How Nominatim works and how to query is more fully described on its OSM wiki page
For the US and Canada you can download Neighborhood data (shapefile format) here:

I had been diagnosed in July 2011 with Stage III Breast Cancer which had spread into my lymph nodes. Three weeks after my diagnosis I lost my fiancé Steve Andrews to Prostate Cancer at the age of 51. In Feb. 2012 on the last day of my Radiation Treatments we learned my mother Brenda Lee had Stage IV Breast Cancer. She recently lost her battle January 5th 2013 at the age of 72. Cancer was once a word I heard that affected other peoples lives. In 2008 Cancer became a way of life that has lasted for over 4 1/2 years for my family and I invading every breath of every day. Ending maintenance treatments last August. I have been cancer free. One week after burying my mother I had to have yet another biopsy due suspicious findings. I found myself full of fear as we awaited the results. I wondered if I would once again hear the words Cancer Free. So many have never heard these words, nor will they ever.What a relief I felt to hear my biopsy was negative. A year plus of treatments and testing saved my life. Research has saved my life. For many research had not come far enough to save their lives. I carry a burden each day for those that have lost their battle. It is this reason I RELAY. For the future of many, for HOPE and for those who cannot fight any longer. It is my dream that one day no one will have to feel the pain of loosing a loved one to cancer. One day no one will have to hear the words that they cancer. One day no one will have to know what if feels like to sit in a chair and have to tolerate chemo, radiation or the side effects that come. One day no one will have to know how it is to live from one scan to the next. Through trail and error, sacrifice and research, one day we will all live in a Cancer Free world. I RELAY for you because my story could become your story or someone you love. Last year our community joined forces and rallied together as one for a great cause. Last year Morehouse Parish made a difference in the fight for a cure. I once again reach out to each of you to do your part in some way. Donate, join a team or attend the Relay on April 19th at the Bastrop High Football Field. My name is Teri Lee, I know how it feels to fight the GIANT. For now I have won my battle. I'm stronger because I had to be. I'm happier because cancer showed me what matters. I stand tall because I AM A SURVIVOR! Above all I give the glory to GOD. My team is Teri's Warriors and Heroes. Our theme is "Can't Get No Satisfaction Till a Cure". HOPE to see you there. Make a difference and save lives!
