I've read the section on healing in Deathwatch several times, and I can't quite seem to get my head around it. It says you can only attempt to heal once per wound, but it doesn't really seem to clarify how that works. Does it mean I can only heal a character as many times as he's been hit? Or as many times as he has hit points? Do I have to somehow track how much damage was done per each hit, and only heal that amount? I'd appreciate it if someone gave me a rundown on exactly how the healing works under that system; we're completely lost here.

Generally, the healing section is poorly worded.
Ok, Humor aside... The wording of the medicae skill (p.102) is not well done.
I've interpreted it in DH and DW, based upon experience with WFRP 1E and 2E, to mean this:
Method 1
When you are wounded, you can receive first aid once. If wounded again after receiving first aid, you can receive 1st aid again.
Method 2
A more literal interpretation would be track each individual hit's damage as a separate number, and each hit can only be healed to 0. It's more work, and logic dictates that a given wound can only be healed to down to 0, tho it's not explicit in the rules that way.
Method 3
Limit 1st aid to once per battle. Many GM's I've talked to do this, but it fails to match the rules.
Either is workable. Given the earlier editions, however, it's easiest to GM if you use method 1 or 3.
Note that
Some Critical hits also require first aid to stop bleeding. Some GM's allow a bleeding stop roll to heal a point of damage as well. Others don't; the wording on p.260 implies strongly that it's a 3rd application of Medicae, and not covered on p.102. I don't allow it to heal a wound as well.
As an option, if using option 1, you might allow adding degrees of success to the amount healed, while with Option 2, it would often be moot.
Note also, based upon collating pages 262 and 102:
Lightly Damaged: total damage taken (after armor and toughness reductions) is less than 2* Toughness Bonus. Heals 1 point of damage naturally per day, doubled if receiving (successful) medical attention. First aid heals medic's Int Bonus points.
Heavily Damaged: Total does not exceed wounds score. Heal naturally 1 point of damage per week. Medical attention doubles this. First aid heals 1 point.
Critical Hits: Total exceeds wounds score. No natural healing. With medical attention, heals 1 point per week. First aid heals 1 point.

I get this error message whenever I create new Spring MVC projects in Eclipse STS.
The project was not built due to "Error deleting resource '/ProjectName/target/classes/log4j.xml' from the workspace tree." Fix the problem, then try refreshing this project and building it since it may be inconsistent.
Why is this happening? I haven't changed anything and the file located at
classes\log4j.xmlexist on the file system. When I try to import the files, Eclipse tells me that I can't because the source is already existing in the project (even though it's telling me it has been deleted).

QUIP: I was stopped at Kroger the other morning by a fella who asked, "How do you get egg whites to form stiff, firm peaks? I separate the yolks from whites, wait until they are at room temperature, then mix with a hand whisk. That doesn't work.
I've tried an electric mixer, but still no firm white peaks. What am I doing wrong?"
TIP: There are a few key things that are required for whites to become meringue. If you always implement them, you will always have success.
The first – and foremost - is to start with a bowl and beaters that are room temperature and absolutely clean and dry. If there is a little oil residue in the bowl or a little hint of yolk in the whites, it will interfere SERIOUSLY with the formation of air bubbles. Water from a wet bowl or beater will also inhibit the formation of the foam.
Bringing the whites to room temperature is also key. I heat a small pot of water on the stove and then place the bowl of whites over it and whisk, testing the temperature with my clean fingertip. Once the whites have warmed to room temp or slightly above, I remove to the counter and begin whisking.
I have also found that older eggs whip more easily because of chemical changes that have taken place as they aged.
Adding a pinch of salt in the whites will help firm up the proteins. About a quarter-way through the beating process, adding a couple drops of lemon juice or a pinch of cream of tartar will stabilize it and help keep bubbles from bursting when you stop beating.
The best way to beat egg whites is with a hand mixer. Beat the whites and salt for two minutes at medium speed, add the acid and beat for two minutes more at high speed.
If you happen to have an expensive, unlined copper bowl, this is ideal for whipping egg whites by hand because the copper reacts to the whites and will generate a much more stable foam with one-third more volume than you get in a standard bowl. However, do be sure to scour the copper bowl with a mixture of 1/4-cup vinegar and a tablespoon of salt, rinse it and dry it thoroughly with paper towels then add your whites but omit adding any salt.

Noisebridge China Trip
My contract manufacturer for TV-B-Gone and TripGlasses and Trippy RGB Waves kits (and a few other things) has a plant in Shanghai and a plant in Ji Ning (about half way between Shanghai and Beijing) (both are SEZs -- Special Economic Zones).
Mike Zhao, an American who lives in San Rafael, but born in Shanghai, is the head of the contract manufacturer, called Etonnet. He's also a total geek, and goes to Maker Faire, and has been to Noisebridge. He's going to Shanghai and Ji Ning starting 16-October-2009, and asked me if I'd like to go, and asked if other NB people (and/or others) would like to go check out the manufacturing scene and China. Mike will return on the 25th, but I think it would be cool if the rest of us go to Beijing for a few days and check out a bit of China-ness there, as well as visit with some hacker-types at Beijing university. We will return on 30-October-2009.
To give a little taste of what it might be like:
A few months ago, Bunny, who manufactures Chumby in China, organized a trip to China to show interested people the manufacturing scene (and China). Evil Mad Scientist went along:
The cost would be very reasonable, as these things go, and the bulk of the cost would be the plane tickets to and from China. At the moment, a round trip ticket costs about $850.
If you are interested, please add your name, below.
People interested in going to China from 16-October-2009 through 30-October-2009:
You do not need to be a member of Noisebridge to go on this trip.

In August 1948, 545 passengers boarded an overcrowded, clapped-out vessel in Marseilles to face an uncertain future in Australia and New Zealand. They came from displaced persons camps in Germany, death camps in Poland, labour camps in Hungary, gulags in Siberia and stony Aegean islands. There were those who had been hunted by the Nazis and those who had welcomed them; those who had followed the Communists and those who had fled them. Diane Armstrong set sail on the Derna with her parents when she was nine years old. Like a detective searching for clues, she has located over a hundred of the passengers. Through their recollections and memorabilia, as well as archival documents, she has recreated the voyage and traced what became of their hopes and dreams. The result is the unique portrayal of a migrant ship and its passengers.

Joan Birman went back to grad school in math in her forties, and is now one of the top researchers in knot theory.
Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass (Weierstraß) Follow this link
She didn't get started late, but I do know that Alice Roth wrote an important thesis in 1938, took 35 years off from research, and then did very beautiful and influential work in complex approximation starting at age 66.
According to this Notices article, Raoul Bott was undistinguished in high school, but displayed impressive talent once he reached graduate school (though his thesis was actually in electrical engineering, rather than mathematics).
I don't think that Stephen Smale really distinguished himself until after graduate school.
Well, there's Witten. He got his degree in history, then attempted to be a political journalist and get a grad degree in econ before looking into physics and math, but got the Fields Medal.
Here, Rob Kirby describes some of his experiences as an undergraduate at Chicago, and how he "snuck into graduate school".
Eugene Ehrhart (of Ehrhart polynomial fame) was born in 1906, taught in various French lycees (high schools), began his work on geometry in the 1950's, did his best work in the 1960's, and received a Ph.D. in 1966. See http://icps.u-strasbg.fr/~clauss/Ehrhart.html.
Sophus Lie didn't become interested in mathematics until after university, and before then didn't seem to have shown significant aptitude for it.
Somebody who probably fits the bill here is Albrecht Fröhlich who after fleeing Nazi Germany as a teenager, eventually attended university only when he was about 30. He later went on to jointly organize the Brighton conference which put class field theory on the mathematical map, essentially create a new branch of number theory and produce his most important work well into his fifties.
There's a biographical memoir here.
Dwork started out as an electrical engineer and was 31 when he received his PhD. The memorial article by Tate and Katz gives the interesting details.
Persi Diaconis had two careers -- the first as a violin prodigy studying at Julliard, and then as a world famous magician who performed for the crowned heads of Europe. In his early twenties he decided that he wanted to learn enough math to understand Feller's two volume treatise, so enrolled at CCNY. His beginning was rocky (by his own admission), but he finished there well enough to be admitted to the Ph.D. program in Statistics at Harvard, and, the rest, shall we say, is history. He also worked as an advertising copywrighter while he was attending CCNY.
Misha Cotlar, born in 1912 in Ukraine, emigrated to Uruguay in 1928. He never had a formal education. He got his PhD from Chicago University in 1953. Hi died in 2007. He is well known for his work in harmonic and functional analysis.
Lefschetz didn't move to math until he lost both of his hands in an industrial accident at the age of 23.
Preda Mihailescu is a good example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preda_Mihăilescu.
He received his PhD with 42, and proved the Catalan conjecture 5 years later.
The Catalan conjecture was open for 160 years.
He proposed in 2009 a proof of the Leopoldt conjecture, but I am not sure about the status of this.
I've always heard that Hilbert was unexceptional (not bad, but not genius) as a student. He gained steam throughout his career, rather than bursting into prominence.
I've just been reading Peter Roquette's entertaining account of the remarkable career of Otto Grün. Grün was an amateur, never attended university but at the age of 44 sent some results around FLT to Helmut Hasse. There were considerable errors, but Hasse spotted enough originality to keep up a correspondence and helped guide Grün into becoming a highly respected group theorist with work fundamental enough to find it's way straight into group theory text books.
You could read the autobiography of Paul Halmos (RIP- he died just a few years ago) "I want to be a mathematician". He started mathematics much later in life, first he did chemical engineering then philosophy then mathematics. Halmos wasn't quite the genius in mathematics (as he has described it) but later in life he got into it and succeeded. John von Neumann (who was Halmos' countryman) also started from chemical engineering before going to mathematics.
How about Raymond Smullyan? According to his autobiography[1], he has published his first mathematical article at the age of 35, to which Marvin Minsky has reacted by saying Ray has decided to become a child prodigy at the age of 35. Does this count as starting off late in life?
[1] Raymond Smullyan, Emlékek, történetek, paradoxonok. TyopTeX, 2004, original title "Some Interesting Memories. A Paradoxical Life".
There's Thomas Kirkman of Kirkman's schoolgirl problem, who didn't start studying mathematics until he was into his forties. Aside from the problem that bears his name he went on to work publish papers in extremal set theory, finite geometries and the like, he was also one of the first to write about group theory in English.
According to an interview of Arnold in Notices (p437), both Whitney and Kolmogorov switched subject at university after a couple years and chose mathematics (Whitney was studying violin, Kolmogorov was into history). So they discovered math after high school, but the interview makes it clear both were very smart (not late bloomers).
There's Serge Lang. Apparently, he finished his undergraduate degree in physics at CalTech, before a short tour of duty in Europe. When he returned for graduate studies, he was initially enrolled in Princeton's philosophy department. According to the biography, he switched to mathematics after his first year, and worked with Emil Artin.
R. H. Bing taught high school for several years before entering graduate school.
One could perhaps also cite George Green, miller and mainly autodidact mathematician as an unconventional and relatively late bloomer. He entered University only at 40, one year or so before his death. See for instance http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Green.html>Green's Biography at MathTutor
Alberto Calderón (of Calderón-Zygmund Theory/operators - one of the great analysts of the 20th century by any account). He studied Electrical Engineering in Buenos Aires, graduating at age 27. Zygmund met him during a visit to Buenos Aires and was very impressed with his mathematical originality, so he invited him to pursue a PhD in Chicago, which Calderón completed when he was 30.
A similar question was discussed some time ago over at http://quomodocumque.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/claimed-proof-of-the-abc-conjecture/#comment-3179. There it was pointed out that William H. Young (of, say, Hausdorff-Young fame) didn't publish much before 40. After 40 he had a successful career, with a prolific publication record. This said, it is reported that he was a very talented student.
In May 2006, the AMS Notices printed a remembrance article for Serge Lang. Dorian Goldfield was one of the contributors, and as an undergraduate, he described himself as follows:
Then again, Goldfield was not a "late learner" as he was 20 when he finished college and 22 when he earned his PhD. But...
Here's a great example:Makus Fisz. "Who?!?" An expert in probability and statistics who was born in 1910 and grew up in war-torn Poland-and as a result,his career kept getting interrupted. He finally got his doctorate at the age of 40 and published a number of well known papers as well as an acclaimed text on the subject that was translated into a half a dozen languages and became very popular in Europe.He was finally appointed full professor of mathematics at New York University after many visiting positions. Tragically,he died of a heart attack at the age of 54. A great story and career with a very sad ending.
Ludolph van Ceulen (1540-1610) was 60 when he became professor of mathematics. Prior to that, he was a fencing instructor. He is known for calculating pi to 35 digits (not easy without calculus!).
Unfortunately, all these exceptions appear to be reaches, thus proving the rule.

I have a monthly spreadsheet that relies on figures from the previous month. I'd like to import these values dynamically rather than cutting and pasting them. Is this possible? How do I do it?
From the Google spreadsheets function list:
"key" is of course the string in the URL for the spreadsheet that matches to the
I just tested it by creating two spreadsheets. In cell A1 of the first I put a string. In cell A1 of the second I put
(The format of the function may depend on your locale. In France the formula is not valid with a comma, so you'll need to be replace it with a semi-colon:
NOTE: Google currently sets a hard limit of 50 "cross-workbook reference formulas" per spreadsheet. Source: Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides size limits. (h/t JJ Rohrer)
NOTE 2: The "new" Google Spreadsheet (soon to be the standard) removes the 50 limit of 50 "cross-workbook reference formulas (Google Support) (h/t Jacob Jan Tuinstra)

FYI if you want to reference another sheet within that other spreadsheet, the sheet name should NOT be re-quoted:
instead of
In the new interface, you should simply be able to type
I found this syntax using Insert -> Define new range RANGE FOR REFERENCING OTHER SPREADSHEET:
Then you can use it as:
here is how i did it (reimplemented 'importrange()'):
function REMOTEDATA(inKey, inRange) { var outData; var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(inKey); if (ss) { outData = ss.getRange(inRange).getValues(); } return outData; }
=SUM(REMOTEDATA("key", "SheetName!A1:A10"))
"key" is the key of the document, you find it in the "key=xyz" parameter of the document url.
the documentation for 'spreadsheet services' provides more information on the topic.
I did it very easy way by using Query for example I have 2 sheets ABC and XYZ and I want to import range from A1 to C30 from Abc into XYZ, click the cell where you want the range to be appear and write this:

How the hell do you leave Arkham City: GOTY for $7.49 out of your description? That is a freaking steal!
So, what's $0.01 on the sale? I saw Toki Tori for 49 cents, and there's some cheap DLC for things, but there isn't a single thing at 1 cent. Why put a false price in your link?
@justagigilo85: These are yesterday's deals Arkham wasn't one of them and if it was a flash sale it was covered by the 'all the flash sales are pretty good'.
@the7654: Arkham wasn't a flash sale, as it's still on sale, and will be for the next 41 hours. Just FYI.
@whiterice0: I know I was just covering the possibility that it had been a flash sale and then later was also a daily deal.
@the7654: But it was neither. It was part of the whole multi-day sale, so it does fall into the category of "things on sale during the autumn sale" but it was never a flash sale, or a daily sale (it's been on sale for a good 90+ hours, and that's a bit more than a daily deal there) I mean, it was on sale for 2 days before the first comment was even made here, and somehow that falls into the category of "flash sales" when those sales were for rather brief periods of time (4, 8, or 12 hours) and somehow 48 hours falls into that group? Then, somehow, more than 48 hours takes it from a "flash sale" to meaning that it's a daily deal (a day later, taking us to the 72 hour mark) Yes, it's a 1-day, 5-day (by now), daily deal.
Or, you know, it was just on sale the whole time. Period.

Let $X$ and $Y$ be independent exponential random variables with means 1 and 2 respectively. Let $Z = 2X + Y$. How can I find $E(X|Z)$?
Hint: Note that $Y=2T$ with $(X,T)$ i.i.d., hence $\mathbb E(X\mid Z)=\mathbb E(X\mid X+T)$. Furthermore, $X+T=\mathbb E(X+T\mid X+T)=\mathbb E(X\mid X+T)+\mathbb E(T\mid X+T)$ and, for every random variables $(\xi,\eta)$, $\mathbb E(\xi\mid\eta)$ depends only on the distribution of $(\xi,\eta)$ in the following sense:
Can you take it from here?
Let $U = 2x + Y$ and $V = X$
$f_{u,v}(u,v) = f_{X,Y}(v, u-2v) \left| \begin{array}{cc} \frac{\partial v}{\partial u} & \frac{\partial u}{\partial v} \\ \frac{\partial (u-2v)}{\partial u} & \frac{\partial (u-2v)}{\partial v} \end{array} \right|$
= $\frac{1}{2} e^{-u/2}.1_{0, u/2}(v).1_{0,\infty}(u)$
Therefore, the conditional expectation is
$E[V|U] = \frac{\int_0^{u/2} v/2 \ exp[-U/2]dv}{\int_0^{U/2} 1/2 \ exp[-U/2]dv} = \frac{U}{4}$

An emo/screamo band consisting of 5 members out of California. Joe, the lead singer, screams out his heart with amazing lyrics and an amazing voice. Probably one of the more known emo bands. Also, one not in it for the money as Joe Brown, the lead singer, said: "We didn't do this to become fuckin' rockstars, we did it to hear you all (the fans) singing along with us"
"A Static Lullaby pwns!"

the sweetest band with killer singers. anyone who doesn't like this band has got to be into the spice girls or something. Whoever gave them that bad definition is clearly hardcore spice girls who has nothing better to do then to make fun of a wicked band and support the spice girls.

I have a co-worked whose name is Jennett. In Pages, I added her to my local dictionary (located at

However, OS X is not flagging Jennet with one "t" as being misspelled.
How can I make Jennet with one "t" be flagged as being misspelled?
I assume this problem stems from the fact that jennet—a female donkey—is found in the OS X dictionary. However, given that I don't write much about donkeys, let alone female donkeys, I'd prefer to be notified when I'm misspelling a co-workers name.

[OPEN] [EXTJSIV-1761] ux. .grid.FiltersFeature broken for remote filtering
after figuring out the grid / filters demo, I copied the relevent parts to one of my grids, adjusted for columns, and set local:false in the filters variable being loaded into the grid's features.
This caused problems so I dug into the code for FilterFeatures to track what is happening.
inside bindStore..
Code:if(store){ if (this.local) { store.on('load', this.onLoad, this); } else { store.on('beforeload', this.onBeforeLoad, this); } }
first, it's expecting arguments of store and options. This must be leftovers from 3.x, as the 4.x store's onBeforeLoad event sends store and an isntance of Ext.data.Operation. The function then furthers to stray by trying to locate a non-existant 'params' property of the options argument.
While trying to trace this down, I loaded the method's arguments variable into a gloabl to examine.
To my surprise, the onBeforeLoad method was being called with {} for arguments, thus no store, operation, or options.
For reference, i'm using a BufferStore with a properly configured proxy.Direct.
21 Apr 2011 8:30 AM #2
also, just for grins to get it to do anything remotely beside failing, i added:
Code:var opts = options ? options : {}; options = opts;
this allow the grid to actually finish loading, but the menu headers on the grid are now busted with
"this.el is undefined" inside a setPosition method around line 37320 in ext-all-debug.js and won't display the menu at all.
FilterFeatures needs a good solid shake down for 4.x
26 Apr 2011 5:40 AM #3
[Final] Released with broken ux.grid.FiltersFeature
onBeforeLoad method for remote filtering is completely broken for extjs4 stores.
Method expects arguments from the extjs3.x store's beforeLoad event instead of extjs4's arguments for that event.

Even though winter is here, I can still imagine those warm to hot days where all I wanted to do is to go to the beach. Dolphins are one of my favorite sea mammals, and because of this fact I wanted to make a lesson that would show all novice artists and younger teens "how to draw a dolphin for kids". There really isn't all that much complication to drawing this animal which means all you have to do is pick up a pencil, grab a sheet of clean drawing paper, and begin drawing. In the end you should have a pretty cool creation on a dolphin for kids. Thanks guys and come back soon ya hear!

AUSTIN (February 21, 2013)--The Texas Department of Public Safety has expanded its efforts to solve cold case slayings by offering an online update on a dozen investigations.
DPS officials unveiled the Texas Rangers unsolved homicides webpage on Wednesday.
It features two cases from each of the agency's six regions.
The public will have the opportunity to submit tips or other information online via the webpage.
Director Steve McCraw said the DPS wants to send a clear message that investigators are not giving up on the victims.
"Cold cases are typically challenging to solve for a variety of reasons, but we want to send a clear message that we are not giving up on these murder victims," McCraw said.
"Our goal for this webpage – and the investigative efforts supporting it – is to shine a new light on these crimes, so they are not forgotten. We are committed to bringing these ruthless criminals to justice and to bringing some amount of closure to the families involved," he said.
Texas Rangers and local law enforcement agencies will also take another look at evidence and persons of interest.
Many of the unsolved cases involve smaller or rural law enforcement agencies including the 2007 disappearance of Craig Jim Martin who authorities think was killed and then buried in Leon, Madison or Brazos County.

Toyota Material Handling to relocate headquarters to Columbus, Indiana
April 12, 2012 - MMH Editorial
Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A., Inc. (TMHU) announced today it will be relocating its North American headquarters from Irvine, Calif., to Columbus, Ind. The relocation and eventual closing of the Irvine office will take place in phases, beginning in Fall 2012 and is anticipated to be completed over the next several years.
TMHU, the No. 1 selling lift truck in North America for the last decade, has been headquartered in Irvine since March 2002 at 1 Park Plaza in the Jamboree Center, an Irvine Company property. TMHU currently employs 72 associates in Irvine and another 53 in Columbus. The majority of Irvine associates are being offered relocation and those not moving will be offered severance and job placement assistance.
TMHU's existing Columbus offices are physically connected to Toyota Industrial Equipment Mfg., Inc., a zero landfill manufacturing facility where the majority of Toyota lift trucks sold in North America are built.
"Bringing all TMHU associates under one roof will allow us to be more responsive to customer and dealer needs," said Jeff Rufener, TMHU president. "Being on the Columbus campus with our forklift plant will result in more synergies and improved communications between sales and marketing and manufacturing."
The Irvine move is part of a larger Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) global vision. TICO, the parent company of TMHU, conducted similar relocations to align sales and marketing with manufacturing plants in Takahama, Japan, and Mjölby, Sweden.

I understand the equivalence principle as "The physics in a freely-falling small laboratory is that of special relativity (SR)." But I'm not quite sure why this is equivalent to "One cannot tell whether a laboratory on Earth is not actually in a rocket accelerating at 1 g".
The best entry level introduction to the equivalence principle I have found to date is found here. As it explains in the article, one of the key items that is general not well understood about the equivalence principle and its relationship to the concept of tidal forces.
If one can imagine a freely falling elevator on earth, versus a spaceship flying in empty space, two test particles will actually feel a slight lateral attraction associated caused by the earth's gravitational field effecting the trajectory of the particles.
If you had no knowledge of the earth outside the elevator, you would equate the attraction of the two test particles with a gravitational force between the particles.
Similarly if you were in the rocket ship and had no knowledge of the outside world and you had two particles that started gravitating towards each other, you might think that they are actually moving under the influence of a third massive body that was outside the spaceship pulling on the particles along two different paths.
Since it would be impossible to tell the difference, you have to conclude that there is an equivalence between those two frames of reference.
Similarly, if there is absolutely no measurable tidal force inside a freely falling elevator, one would have the same spacetime as used in special relativity.
Say there were two identical rooms with no windows, one on earth and one on a spaceship accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity on earth.) You are in one of them, and can conduct any mechanical experiment you like as long as it does not involve peeking outside of the room in any way shape or form.
Unfortunately no matter what you try you will not be able to determine which room your in because experiments in both rooms will yield identical results.
However one room is experiencing gravitational acceleration and the other inertial acceleration. The principle of equivalence tells us that these two things are equal, or as Einstein said "The outcome of any local non-gravitational experiment in a freely falling laboratory is independent of the velocity of the laboratory and its location in spacetime."
The equivalence principle (the version you mention) means that you cannot tell, locally, whether you are in a freely falling frame or in "outer space", i.e., in a region of space with no gravitational field. This version is the EEP. There is another version, namely, WEP which says that the inertial mass is the same as the gravitational mass. This means that when standing on earth, the force you experience is proportional to your gravitational mass, which is the same mass that you would put in Newton's second law. Thus, if you are in a rocket accelerating at 1g you will experience the same force. Now, from WEP you see that if you throw a ball upwards, the trajectory it follows will be the same on earth and in the rocket. Therefore we can reformulate WEP in terms of freely falling objects: locally, the motion of freely falling particles are the same in a uniformly accelerated frame and in a gravitational field. Of course, WEP doesn't imply EEP because in SR the mass is not unique. But it is easy to see that you can generalize it by imposing SR in the motion of the objects. However, EEP is stronger in the sense that not only the trajectories are the same, but all laws of physics. This is the basis of QFT.
The way it makes sense to me is that if you shoot a ray of light across a room inside an accelerating rocket ship, the ray will fall some distance (relative to the room). Therefore on Earth the ray of light must also fall (ostensibly "due to gravity"), otherwise you would know whether you are in a ship or not based on whether light does or does not fall. And I imagine there would be some kind of physical consequence to that. The following video seems to imply that the consequence would be that inertial mass and gravitational mass would not be the same, which makes intuitive sense to me.
This is a video from "The Mechanical Universe." It's a good overview of the deduction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbOKxkj0_wc&feature=youtu.be&t=13m24s

Twitter CEO Commits Possible NCAA Foul
The head of Twitter knows social media, but he might not know NCAA rules. On Sunday night, Twitter chief executive and Michigan alumnus Dick Costolo responded to one Michigan football recruit welcoming another to the Wolverines by tweeting at both: "amazing! #goblue." But NCAA rules prohibit boosters from contacting players before they enroll in school. Michigan spokesman Dave Ablauf acknowledged a "potential minor violation" that the school would "handle as appropriate." But one question remains: Is Costolo a booster? Said Ablauf: "Great question. I don't have an answer for you at this time." The NCAA broadly defines a booster as someone who donates money to or has "been otherwise involved in promoting university athletics." Schools often report minor violations with no repercussions.

Brewers Offer Fan Deal
The Milwaukee Brewers, currently in last place in the NL Central and playing the rest of the season without the suspended Ryan Braun, announced Monday their response to what they acknowledged has been a "challenging season": They're giving every fan attending any of the team's 12 August home games a $10 voucher to spend in the stadium on food and merchandise. As a result, they're also presenting entrepreneurial Brewers fans with an arbitrage opportunity. The cheapest tickets available Monday on the secondary market for those games totaled $85, according to SeatGeek. In other words, it's possible to spend $85 for $120 worth of value. The get-in price is likely to fall, too, since it would've cost $49 for Milwaukee's last 12 home games, per SeatGeek's database. Brewers fans also can combine their vouchers and splurge—but maybe not on the Braun replica uniform that retails in the team's online store for $99.99.

MINGO JUNCTION - Three men forcibly entered a home at 122 Union Ave. around 2:30 p.m. Thursday demanding money from people inside and shot a man in the knee, Village Police Chief Steve Maguschak said.
Maguschak said the residents inside were watching TV when they answered a knock at the door. That is when the three men forced their way into the home, claiming the man inside owed them money.
The intruders also hit a woman, a 13-year-old and 2-year-old child inside with a gun, the chief said.

INVESTIGATION — Mingo Junction Police Lt. Chris Taylor, left, talks with Police Chief Steve Maguschak at the scene of a home invasion Thursday afternoon which left one man with a gunshot wound to the knee and woman and child injured after being beaten with a gun, according to police. -- Mark Law
All four people injured were taken to Trinity Medical Center West for treatment.
A female was reported to be driving the getaway vehicle.
Steubenville Police pulled the vehicle over in the 100 block of South Fourth Street about 30 minutes later. The female who reportedly was driving the vehicle from Mingo Junction was taken into custody.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department is assisting in the investigation.
Sheriff Fred Abdalla said the three males got out of the getaway vehicle near Steubenville High School and ran toward the railroad tracks.
Abdalla said the intruders were dressed like utility workers, wearing safety vests and hardhats.
Steubenville officers were searching the North End of the city for the three suspects.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation was called to come to the Mingo Junction home to process the scene for evidence.

Native American Tribes of the Great Plains
6 of 11
In some ways the Pawnee were similar to other Native Americans of the Plains, but were most distinguished by their observance of elaborate myths and rituals. They worshiped the god Tirawa (the sun), who they believed conceived Morning Star, the god of vegetation. In one of the few examples of human sacrifice north of Mexico, the Pawnee periodically sacrificed a young woman to Morning Star.
Featured Fact: The Pawnee never warred against the United States, even when treated unjustly by the government.

Gaining a new perspective from co-op
Rebecca Williams, Electromechanical Engineering (BELM) '14
Co-op Employer: Hamilton Sundstrand
Co-op Position: Project Engineer Intern
Hometown: Brockton, Mass.
A New Direction
For Rebecca Williams, BELM '14, co-op meant change. A change in location—Connecticut. A change in expectations—the real world. And a change in her future.
Since her junior year in high school, Williams wanted to go into biomedical engineering, but her time at the aerospace and industrial manufacturing firm Hamilton Sundstrand offered her new perspective. As a project engineer intern, she enjoyed managing tasks from start to finish and working with everyone from the design engineers to the manufacturers. "Working there opened my eyes to the business side of engineering which is definitely what I want to get into," says Williams.
Industry Insight
At Hamilton Sundstrand, it was Williams' job to perform and track a series of seven tests on the main engine start of a military cargo helicopter. She performed data analysis, coordinated and participated in company-wide meetings, and acted as a liaison between Hamilton Sundstrand and its clients.
Team Effort
Williams' colleagues were instrumental to her learning process. They taught her the ropes of project engineering and when that resulted in a shift in her career path, they helped her come to terms with the decision. "I'm one of those people who have to have a five-year, ten-year plan. So I was freaking out," says Williams. "The engineering manager helped me see that it was OK."
Pursuit of Happiness
Now that Williams has changed her career path, all the pieces seem to be falling into place. She is more certain than ever that electromechanical engineering is what she wants to do, and her classes have become even more rewarding now that she understands their real-world applications. Recently elected New England Zone Chair for the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), her increased leadership role is giving her exposure to the business side of the organization, providing management experience, and teaching her how to balance the competing priorities of school and extracurricular activities. Even playing on the volleyball team seems to offer valuable insight into collaborative work environments and interpersonal skills.
Williams is realizing that her plans may continue to change. Up next may be another co-op at Hamilton Sundstrand. And after graduation will definitely be grad school, she says. As all of the pieces of the puzzle come together, Williams knows she is headed in the right direction and is eager to see what's on the horizon.

Health & Pregnancy
Grey's Anatomy Raises Health Awareness
Sept. 19, 2008 -- Television has been called a "vast wasteland," but there is no denying the power of prime time.
Health educators slipped a message about HIV-positive mothers into a story line in the popular TV show Grey's Anatomy.
Then they tested whether viewers got that message.
Researchers from Kaiser Family Foundation, led by Victoria Rideout, met with Grey's Anatomy writers and staff.
One staff member was an ob-gyn who specializes in high-risk pregnancies.
The group also included a young woman, HIV positive since she was 19, who recently gave birth to a healthy baby with her HIV-negative husband.
The story line included a young HIV-positive woman who finds out she is pregnant and first demands an abortion, fearing she will pass the virus that causes AIDS to her child.
She learns that with proper treatment she has a 98% chance of delivering a baby who is HIV-free.
Randomly selected regular Grey's Anatomy watchers were questioned, testing their knowledge and attitudes about HIV-positive women giving birth.
Three surveys were given, one before the show aired in May 2008, a week after the show aired, and a follow-up six weeks later.
Here is one question viewers were asked:
"As far as you know, if a woman who is HIV positive becomes pregnant and receives the proper treatment, what is the chance that she will give birth to a healthy baby, not infected with HIV?
The answer? There is a more than 90% chance of having a healthy baby with the right treatment.
Here are the percentages of viewers who got that right:
- Before the show aired, 15% answered correctly.
- 61% knew it a week after seeing the show.
- 45% retained that knowledge six weeks later.
The respondents were asked whether this next statement was true or false:
"If a woman who has HIV or AIDS becomes pregnant, there is nothing that can be done to prevent the virus from infecting the unborn baby."
- A week before the episode aired, 53% knew the correct answer. (It's false.)
- A week after the show aired, 76% knew the answer was false.
- Six weeks after the program aired, 63% still knew the correct answer.

Agent-Based Simulation of a Tuberculosis Epidemic Parastu Kasaie, David W. Dowdy, W. David Kelton, Proceedings of the 2013 Winter Simulation Conference
We propose an epidemic agent-based simulation model for disease (TB) transmission dynamics study and to find out the role of various contact networks. Our model simulates the TB epidemic course across a single population and uses a hierarchical network of contacts in three levels, typical to the transmission of airborne diseases (Mossong et al. 2005). Parameters are chosen from the literature, and the model is calibrated to a setting of high TB incidence. We use our model to study the transmission dynamics at an individual level with regard to the timing and distribution of secondary infections from a single source. The average time for disease diffusion to reach 50% of infections at an individual level is estimated, and the timing patterns are compared among different networks. We perform sensitivity analysis of results with regard to multiple parameter values, and discuss the implications for TB control policy.» 続きを読む

Toward Simulation-Based Real-Time Decision-Support Systems for Emergency Departments Yariv N. Marmor, Segev Wasserkrug, Avraham Shtub. 2009 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC'09), December 13-16, Austin, TX, USA
Emergency Departments (EDs) require advanced support systems for monitoring and controlling their processes: clinical, operational, and financial. A prerequisite for such a system is comprehensive operational information (e.g. queueing times, busy resources,…), reliably portraying and predicting ED status as it evolves in time. To this end, simulation comes to the rescue, through a two-step procedure that is hereby proposed for supporting real-time ED control.» 続きを読む
A Modern Simulation Approach for Pharmaceutical Portfolio Management Kirk Solo and Mark Paich. International Conference on Health Sciences Simulation (ICHSS'04), January 18 - 21, 2004, San Diego, California, USA
By creating an integrated simulation environment that models the underlying structure of a pharmaceutical enterprise portfolio it becomes possible to identify the optimal longitudinal allocation of finite resources across the constellation of available investment opportunities. The implementation of a hybrid approach that integrates multiple modeling techniques and analytic disciplines allows for a comprehensive environment that captures the underlying dynamics that drive observed market behavior. The implementation of an object oriented model structure constrains the models complexity by supporting dynamic re-use of both structure and logic.» 続きを読む

Beyond Boundaries: Dare to be Diverse Film & Discussion Series
3 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets
In 3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets, two lives intersected and were forever altered. On Black Friday 2012, two cars parked next to each other at a Florida gas station. A white middle-aged male and a black teenager exchanged angry words over the volume of the music in the boy's car. A gun entered the exchange, and one of them was left dead. Michael Dunn fired 10 bullets at a car full of unarmed teenagers and then fled. Three of those bullets hit 17-year-old Jordan Davis, who died at the scene. Arrested the next day, Dunn claimed he shot in self-defense. Thus began the long journey of unraveling the truth. 3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets follows that journey, reconstructing the night of the murder and revealing how hidden racial prejudice can result in tragedy.

While ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a heterogeneous disease, there is general agreement that DCIS should be treated at least by local excision to avoid recurrence or progression to invasive carcinoma. The advent of mammographic screening has increased early detection of DCIS and the percentage of breast cancers diagnosed at a pre-invasive stage has increased from 2% in 1980 to 20% now. The general belief is that mammography is more reliable for the detection DCIS than MR. This is based on studies that use MRI to validate mammographically detectable DCIS, which has not been shown to be reliable since MRI does not visualize calcium well and does not have sufficient resolution. However, more recently, it has been proposed that improvement in technology and refinement of diagnostic criteria allows sensitive and reliable detection of DCIS. This study presents a large prospective comparison of MRI and mammography for the detection of pure DCIS.

Adding more strategy ...
Warning: This is going to be one huge post ... but I just wanted to get rid of a load of my own ideas and create a nice place to pool some thoughts about how to add strategy and thus a whole load of fun to Battlefront. I've tried to pick up on a number of propositions already made by the community... and I hope there are many of you who share my feeling that this game could benefit greatly from a little more complexity - which shouldn't be impossible for the developer team as the great Battlezone series was also made by Pandemic!
So ... let's start with the most simple possibilities and slowly proceed to the more complicated ones.
A) Galactic Conquest for Multiplayer:
Not exactly a new idea - but one that seems to meet general approval from fans ...
Now Galactic Conquest as it is now is not exactly threatening to rival Master of Orion. But, as I already said in Alegi's "(my big) suggestion list" thread: BECAUSE it is such a simplistic game type - and once was announced to be multiplayer-compatible - I see very few obstacles as to why it shouldn't be made to work.
For suggestions as to how one could make Galactic Conquest even more interesting, please consult the already mentioned thread, especially Redtech had some very good ideas. I might perhaps add that there are really a lot of possible improvements to this mode: for example, you could actually try to include a few empire management options - the purchase of vehicles on a planet or perhaps even the distribution of troops between planets (resulting in more ... or less ... reinforcement points for your faction on that planet).
B) Team Leaders:
Again, not revolutionary ... yet I would plead to add them better sooner then later, as - at least in my opinion - the game can only benefit from this ... it would make it much more complex and fun. I think there are many possible ways to integrate them - some of them rather simple and - at least in my uneducated eyes
- not such a great problem to add ...
- Well, the most obvious solution would be to integrate a commander mode, like it's being done in quite a number of current games, allowing the leader to issue commands on a realtime-strategy-game like map ... I actually like this a lot ... but this would probably require an add-on at the very least and is unlikely to be implemented very soon.
But as I said, there are several other possibilities ...
- The (I think)most simple: how about allowing a team leader during the game via a small menu to influence the class picks of the PC-controlled soldiers of his team. Perhaps not 100% specific like "First I want 5 snipers and then three pilots" - this might lead to slightly monotone battles should some classes be completely ignored - but something more along the lines of: "Stormtroopers - Priority: Medium, Pilots: High, Vanguards: LOW).
The next step in complexity would be an option to allow team leaders to set similar priorities for certain spawn points and perhaps stop spawning from one position completely in favour of others. That seems to me to be a reasonably simple but quite tactical option.
For an even bigger tactical touch, how about some more detailed commands for officers? VERY nice indeed would be a command system similar to that of great old Battlezone. It wouldn't even have to include the option to sent your troops to a specific place, just directing them to a specific command point would already be a nice option.
C) Officers:
I'd definitely like to see officers as a class, seeing as they were already once intended to be one. Though all the strategic "team leader" options mentioned above could in theory be performed by some random player with a crown floating next to his name, it would of course be much more atmospheric when there were actually some officers for this job.
Yet there should be a place for them even if none of those expanded command options ever get integrated. Originally they were supposed to be able to call for an orbital strike ... an ability that was stolen by the scouts. How about the option to create probe droids that stay around the officer and guard him? Or how about the ability to strengthen a particular soldier's attack power/life points for a short period of time by giving him ... an ecouraging medal? A red shoulder pad? A flag? Drugs? Some nice words? Well, something like this ...
As another tiny little tactical improvement, officers might perhaps be able to shoot a bright flashy light into the air - perhaps only as a signal for other human players (might even appear on the map) ... then again it could also urge friendly pc-troops in the vicinity to come to your aid. Oh, and the blaster pistol of the officer could be chargeable, like the wookie bowgun, for a particularly heavy shot. It might also be a nice option if officers were able to capture command points quicker - either just by standing close to them or by the placement of a flag ... that's all I can think of at this moment ... aside perhaps from EMP grenades or personal shields -which might be a little weird equipment for an officer. Anyway, I think there is a place for officers in this game.
...and for the moment a last suggestion...
D) VIPs:
As Redtech already proposed in the already mentioned thread from Alegi, protecting /eliminating VIPs could be a nice alternative mission objective. Not only that ... a player functioning as a VIP admiral, for example, would also make an ideal team leader ... he wouldn't even need extraordinary hit points in this role. He could stay at a fortified command post ... either on the map or perhaps inside a heavy vehicle (a nice excuse, perhaps, to introduce a small corellian corvette hovering over the battlefield, with a command bridge and perhaps several other rooms? But perhaps I shouldn't get too greedy
). Anyway, he could have some of the expanded command functions to keep him busy. The more the better ... If it's too complicated to let him command the entire army of computer soldiers, he might perhaps be allowed to command a limited amount of probe droids or the vehicle on which he is stationed in a real-time strategy manner. But ... that's probably stuff for an expansion or even Battlefront 2, should it ever be published. Anyway, I think it's a nice idea. It would naturally be even BETTER if another multiplayer mode would be integrated into the game that actually allows the building of a base (free or at least the construction of buildings on predefined locations). Now THAT would help to keep a VIP admiral busy :
It's not really likely to happen, but ... what can I say? I'm a big fan of the battlezone series ... and this would certainly be the perfect step to more strategy ...
Phew ... if anyone managed to stay to the end: Thanks
... and now I'm really curious about your opinion.
Glory to the Empire!
