It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved.

I used the SharePoint 2010 Easy Setup Script to setup my Windows 7 machine for Sharepoint Development. However, I don't want the Sharepoint services hogging up CPU in the background when I'm doing other things and not actively developing for Sharepoint. How can I turn Sharepoint services on and off when I need them?
e.g. I don't want Sharepoint services starting up when I'm booting up Windows 7 - I'd rather only turn it all on when I'm actually ready to do sharepoint development etc

Re: Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.
I also just registered to SAY the towel wrap thing is the most ridiculous thing i ever heard but i would like to strongly confirm that this long after the thread began (drum rolls....) IT WORKS!!!! I have a HP g61 that had both caps and num locks blinking once every 5 seconds or so. I wrapped it in a towel and a tshirt for extra heat retention first 30 minutes didn't work then i remembered i still had it plugged in to the AC outlet so i unplugged it and left it for an extra 30 minutes and left it to cool, took out battery (was also completely drained). I put it back together and VOILA!! it worked....
Re: Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.[ Edited ]
11-23-2013 04:04 AM - edited 11-23-2013 04:05 AM
I found a way round to solve the problem without the need to replace GPU/graphics. My laptop has 2 graphic cards: an integrated one and a dedicated one. Apparently the dedicated one had failed (Caps Lock blinking once) so I used the towel method to boot the laptop up, and then I disabled the dedicated graphic card in Device Manager. I haven't had any problems since then, I can even use the standby mode.
Integrated card is sufficient for internet browsing and simple applications. If I want to play games or watch movies I can still enable the other card in the Device Manager, I just need to remember to disable it again before I shut the laptop down, otherwise the problem will appear again.
Obviously this method only work on laptops that have two graphic cards and it requires the most up-to-date drivers. It is a little bit a of a inconvenience, but it's nothing compared to the price of a new laptop.
Re: Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.
cant believe 22 would would call themselves hpsucks? they must
anyway, towel trick, proven, im ammazed, mines a fujitsu
but,im going to heat up the gpu part of the motherboard to try a more permanant fix

Re: Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.
I was having the same problem. My hp pavilion dv6 suddenly stop working. The sign were similar like black screen and caps/num lock light blinking. So I start googling what's wrong with my machine after attempting different kind of solutions, I found one works for me.
This method is called reflowing, In this remedy you have to heat up your mother board in a certain way. You will find reflow videos on youtube easily.
This method works for me.
Re: Laptop not booting, and CAPS lock blinking.
How I solved this problem......
My laptop was not booting and the CAPS lock was blinking with blink code 1 (CPU not functional)
I disassembled the laptop and took out the motherboard. I removed the heat sink to expose the processor/graphics card.
I found that the thermal paste had, over time, dispersed itself from the centre of the processsor and worked its way to the outside. There was no thermal paste in the centre. Futhermore, the conductive thermal paste had covered the chips of the processor and I concluded that this is the problem, as the thermal paste would be shorting out the chips.
I got a brand new toothbrush and scrubbed lightly at the thermal paste until the chips were completely clean and free of the thermal paste. I then re-applied new thermal paste and re-assembled my laptop.
It started up 1st time and also doubled the speed of the laptop. Also, the fan is running completely silently (after cleaning chassis and fan area.
I hope this helps someone who is just about to give up on their trusty laptop, as I was!
Best of luck.

Vacuum thieves strike Southridge twice in 24 hours

According to the Greendale police log:

The man was described as a 6-foot-tall black man, age 25 to 30 years old and wearing a light blue or gray T-shirt, cargo pants and flip-flops.
At 1:13 p.m. the next day, Macy's security called police after two black men grabbed another $600 Dyson vacuum and ran out of the store. One of the men was identified by store security as the same person from the Aug. 20 vacuum theft.
The men drove off in a black Nissan Xterra SUV. While leaving the parking lot, the passenger-side door was still open, which caused a mirror or window to break, leaving glass in the lot.» Read Full Article

Whitnall looking to make own history
The past decade of football contests between Whitnall and New Berlin Eisenhower have primarily gone in one direction. Friday night in New Berlin, the game between the two Woodland Conference rivals took more wild turns than Christopher Columbus did before discovering America.
A history lesson would tell you that Eisenhower had defeated the Falcons seven of the last eight times dating back to 2002. This time, history was not meant to repeat itself as the Falcons completed a thrilling 36-28 comeback win over the Lions in the season opener for both schools.
Whitnall took advantage of three Eisenhower lost fumbles that proved to be the difference in a game between contrasting offensive mindsets. The Falcons and senior quarterback Zach Sutton spent the entire night peppering the air with an efficient passing attack, while the Lions opted for a running attack led by junior Nick Taylor.
Both offenses looked unstoppable at times and inept at others, but it was the passing game of Whitnall that dominated the fourth quarter. The Falcons finally took the lead with less than six minutes left in the game on a 30-yard field goal by senior Nick Stemo and sealed the win a few minutes later on a 33-yard touchdown pass from Sutton to fellow senior Patrick Wyrowski with 20 seconds left in the game.
"It was just the energy, everyone just brought the energy," Sutton said. "We knew we had the momentum going into the half and we knew we could beat them.
Knights defense rallies to thwart Falls
At the end of last season, there were too many bad memories for the Oak Creek football team's defense to recall, as opponents ran up and down the field on the Knights in the final three contests.
That had to change going into 2012 if the Knights were to make a run at the state playoffs.
And maybe it will on the strength of one play in the fourth quarter of Oak Creek's 21-6 season-opening triumph over nonconference opponent and host Menomonee Falls on Friday.
The Knights had dominated the Indians for much of three quarters, but after taking a 14-0 lead, they squandered a couple of opportunities to make it a three-score game.
And Falls started to put the squeeze on the Knights, as the Indians took advantage of a short punt to go 48 yards in just seven plays. Quarterback Adam Vechart's 31-yard scramble led to the Indians' only score as Justin Johnson plowed his way over from a yard out to make it 14-6 with still 9:16 left to play.» Read Full Article

Hamilton's Drew Patterson rumbled for more than 200 yards, the defensive line flustered Franklin's aerial assault, and the Chargers took command against a very strong squad en route to a 31-21 win Friday.
The junior Patterson, whose brother Nick was the Offensive Player of the Year in the Greater Metro Conference last year, rushed 32 times for 245 yards, including 44 yards on the final drive that milked the game's final 4:18. He had left the game earlier in the second half with leg cramps.
"He is solid as a rock," Hamilton coach John Damato said. "We lost him a little bit with his cramping, but I'm glad he came back. We rode his coat tails at the end there and iced it with a couple first downs."» Read Full Article
Greendale neurosurgeon convicted of tax fraud
his failure to disclose $8 million in income held in a bank account in India in 2009.A Greendale neurosurgeon was convicted by a federal jury on tax charges resulting from what the government said was
Arvind Ahuja, 50, is scheduled to be sentenced in January by Chief U.S. District Judge Charles Clevert. He remains free on bond.
The jury returned its verdict late Wednesday, convicting Ahuja of filing a false tax return and of failing to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. The jury acquitted Ahuja on five counts. Ahuja's attorney asked Clevert during the trial to dismiss the charges. If the judge did that, he could in effect overturn the jury's conviction. Clevert has not issued a ruling.
Ahuja moved millions from U.S. bank accounts to accounts located in India, earning more than $2.7 million in interest income between 2005 and 2009 but failing to report that income, according to prosecutors. He also maintained an account in the Bailiwick of Jersey, a British Crown dependency in the Channel Islands off the coast of Normandy, France, they said.
U.S. Attorney James Santelle said in a statement, "In combination with the Internal Revenue Service, we are committed to enforcing the tax laws fairly and even-handedly, and the jury's verdict in this case appropriately reflects the understanding of all law-abiding citizens that underreporting income and failing to report foreign bank accounts will not be tolerated."» Read Full Article
Franklin council delays action on Meijer proposal
Franklin ran into a delay Tuesday night before that city's Common Council.Meijer Inc.'s 192,000-square-foot supermarket and discount store proposed for
The council voted to wait until its next meeting to consider site plans for the store because Ald. Steve Olson, whose district includes the site, was not at the meeting, said Brian Randall, attorney for Meijer. He said Olson was unable to attend because of business travels.
The planned site is 29 acres northeast of Highway 100, between Loomis and Puetz roads. The council next meets on Sept. 4, although a special meeting could be held earlier, Randall said Wednesday.
The council previously changed a city ordinance that puts a maximum space cap on big box stores. That change clears the way for the Meijer proposal if the site plans are approved.
The ordinance generally limits retail stores to 125,000 square feet, but the change allows larger stores in certain areas.» Read Full Article

Woman wards off attacker near Warnimont Golf Course
A woman fended off an attacker Thursday evening while jogging south of Warnimont Golf Course in Cudahy, and the attacker was still at large Thursday night, police said.
According to Cudahy police, the woman was jogging on a bike trail south of the golf course about 7 p.m. when a man approached her from behind and took her to the ground.
The woman struggled with the attacker, who fled east toward the lake, police said.
The assailant was described as a Hispanic male, 25 to 30 years old, five feet, seven inches tall and weighing between 175 and 200 pounds, unshaven with short black hair and short sideburns.
He was wearing tan cargo shorts, a white T-shirt, a thin baseball cap and athletic shoes. The cap was described as white, with a blue visor and tan inner lining, police said.» Read Full Article
Man arrested in sexual assault at bus stop
A 23-year-old West Allis man has been charged in connection with a July 27 sexual assault in which he is accused of grabbing a woman and touching her inappropriately at a bus stop in the 400 block of Lincoln Ave., Milwaukee police said.
Police are trying to determine whether Anthony H. Kodrich is linked to seven other similar assaults in Milwaukee, South Milwaukee and Shorewood.
Kodrich was charged Sunday with second-degree sexual assault in connection with the 5:30 p.m. July 27 incident.
Police said after the woman was attacked she later saw news reports about similar incidents in Bay View and South Milwaukee and reported the attack on her to police.
Police said they had bus video of the July 27 incident and that Detective Branko Stojsavljevic and Officer Amy Stolowski on July 30 went to the Lincoln Ave. area where the attack occurred and boarded buses to look for the suspect.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek mayor got call from Aurora mayor
Oak Creek - As news of the tragedy in the Sikh temple spread Sunday evening, Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi got a phone call from someone who knew exactly what he was going through: the mayor of Aurora, Colo.
Scaffidi said Tuesday afternoon that he appreciated the call from Steve Hogan, the mayor of the community where 12 people were killed and scores injured in a rampage during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight" on July 20.
Hogan gave Scaffidi advice on how to handle the media and how to work to bring the community together after a senseless tragedy.
"This isn't something you can train for," Scaffidi said in an interview at the Oak Creek police station. "Police train for things like this, but not mayors."
Scaffidi was elected mayor in April after the December death in office of longtime mayor Dick Bolender. Scaffidi said he doesn't want people to think of Oak Creek as only the site of a mass killing.» Read Full Article
Waukesha, Oak Creek move closer to water deal
A draft agreement for Oak Creek to sell Lake Michigan water to the City of Waukesha will be discussed next week at meetings of each community's water utility commission, officials said Tuesday.
The commissions will be asked to recommend approval of a preliminary water deal that could be presented to their respective common councils Aug. 21, Waukesha Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak said.
Oak Creek's Board of Water Works and Sewer Commission will meet in a closed session Tuesday to discuss a water sale proposal, Water & Sewer Utility General Manager Steve Yttri said.
"We have exchanged several draft agreements," Yttri said. The latest proposal awaits review by the Oak Creek city attorney before it would be forwarded to the Common Council.

Kroupa steps down at Whitnall
Whitnall boys basketball coach Kent Kroupa, whose coaching career began at the school in 1984, has decided to retire from his position.
The Falcons reached the sectional semifinal in last year's Division 2 tournament, falling to eventual state qualifier Milwaukee Pius. He coached at Whitnall over two stretches, leading teams to state in 1986, 1988 and 2004, winning the state championship in 1988.
Kroupa, who worked with learning-disabled students at Whitnall for 32 years, coached at the school from 1984 to 1994, then left to coach at Muskego from 1995 to 2002. After taking a year off, he returned to Whitnall and immediately led the 2003-04 team to the state tournament in Madison. In his 27 years of coaching, Kroupa piled up a record of 335-279.
Kroupa said the retirement gives him a chance to spend more time with his family. He and wife Linda intend to move to the Phoenix, Ariz. area to be closer to son Craig, who teaches in the area.
Shooter's odd behavior did not go unnoticed
He wore his beliefs on his arm, along with his hate.
He called non-whites "dirt people," and sent roses to his grandmother.
He talked about accomplishing positive results in society, then killed six people and tried to gun down a cop (hitting him at least eight times) who was helping the wounded.
Wade Michael Page, dead himself in the wake of his mass-slaying rampage at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek Sunday, appears to have been many things - Army veteran of a special unit, fired truck driver, devoted grandson, hard-metal musician, white supremacist.
But to psychiatric nurse Jennifer Dunn, the 40-year-old with the shaved head was merely the "creepy quiet" neighbor who moved into her Cudahy building three weeks ago, toting his belongings in two black plastic garbage bags.» Read Full Article
Church plans Monday night prayer vigil
A candlelight prayer vigil for victims of the deadly shooting at the Oak Creek Sikh temple and their families will be held by the Oak Creek Community United Methodist church at 7:30 p.m. Monday at S. 13th St. and W. Puetz Road.
"I call us together for a time of prayer in support for our fellow brothers and sisters, especially those Sikh families who have lost loved ones," said the Rev. Paul Armstrong, pastor of the church, 8675 S. 13th St. "We pray for the police officer and his family who first engaged the shooter and was wounded in so doing. Let us pray against the increasing violence seen in our communities. Let us pray and act for peace."

Shooter identified as Wade Michael Page
Sources familiar with the Oak Creek temple shooting investigation identified the shooter as Wade Michael Page, 40.
According to the sources, he served in the Army for several years and was assigned to psychological operations, or PsyOps. He is no longer in the Army.
Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said Monday that he would not release the name of the shooter until 10 a.m. He said the suspect has "only lived in our area for a short time" and is a military vet. "We've gotten a lot of tips" and "we're trying to determine a motive," he said.
According to records obtained by the Journal Sentinel, Page appears to have lived the last several years in North Carolina, Colorado and Texas, before arriving in the Milwaukee area earlier this year. Several listed addresses associated with Page suggest he has been in the U.S. military.
CBS News is reporting that Page served in the Army in the 1990s and was attached to a psychological operations unit. He was given a less-than-honorable discharge from the Army in October 2008, according to CBS.» Read Full Article
7 killed, including shooter, at Sikh Temple in Oak Creek
The children were downstairs, in Sunday school.
The women were in the kitchen nearby, cooking the weekly meal that is free to all.
And the gunman was striding into the wide-open Sikh Temple, bent on killing as many people as he could.
Then came the shots, ripped off, according to a weapons instructor who lives nearby, "as fast as you can pull the trigger."
By the time the shooter was done, six people lay dead or mortally wounded in what Oak Creek police said was being treated as a domestic terrorist incident - if so, one without precedent in Wisconsin.» Read Full Article
Cudahy neighborhood cordoned off
Cudahy - Police investigating the Oak Creek temple shootings have cordoned off the 3700 block of E. Holmes Ave., just south of downtown Cudahy. A large contingent of law enforcement and fire department vehicles are in the vicinity. The neighborhood was being evacuated.
Ted Slater, a neighbor, said the property police were searching was the second floor of a two-story duplex. It's a two-story white duplex with red trim. Slater said police had been searching the other level and that police were seen on the upper-level balcony behind the building.
A military-style Humvee with FBI markings on the side of it moved up the street shortly after 6 p.m. with its lights flashing, moving along the west end of the block.. Authorities in green military uniforms with FBI insignia were seen moving up and down an alley and a street near the duplex.
Alma Reyes lives on the corner, three houses from the property in question. She was unable to get to her home with her two young daughters. She said the duplex had been vacant until recently.

Illegitimate Offspring: The 10 Most Tenuously Connected Movie Sequels
So, you have to make a sequel, but the original cast wants no part of it. Also, the plot of the first film makes a sequel logically impossible. Are you going to let that stop you? Of course not!
As the below movies prove, you're in good company! Well, you're definitely in company anyway.
#10. Evan Almighty
Sequel To: Bruce Almighty
Tenuous Connection:
Evan Baxter, the anchor from the first movie. Oh, and God.
Plot Summary:
Congressman Evan Baxter is told to build an Ark, and he has to do it using ancient tools, because God is kind of a dick.
Why It Doesn't Work:
The first movie's premise was an interesting 'what-if' fantasy: "What if you had the powers of God?" Pondering this question while ignoring Jim Carrey as he twisted his stupid face around made Bruce Almighty almost tolerable. Evan Almighty takes this a step further and asks an even more thought-provoking question: "What if you had to build a boat? And also, you had a beard?"
For the sequel, news anchor Evan Baxter has become a congressman. How? Jim Carrey made him say a bunch of stupid crap on live television. You'd think saying "my tiny little nipples went to France" might make the campaign a bit challenging. Shouldn't God have mentioned this to Evan? "Hey, remember when you said a bunch of embarrassing stuff on live television, and how it's haunted you every day of your life, since it's totally unexplainable and frightening that someone else took control of your body? Yeah, that was my fault."
That's just the beginning of the dickishness from Evan Almighty's God, who presumably could have used His powers to prevent the flood, rather than have Evan build a stupid-ass boat. It's almost like they found it hard to write a family comedy based on the time God got mad and drowned the entire planet.
#9. Speed 2: Cruise Control
Sequel To: Speed
Tenuous Connection:
Annie, the girl that wound up driving the bus in the first movie.
Plot Summary:
Annie takes a cruise with her boyfriend, but Willem Dafoe is pissed off for some reason and he hijacks the ship!
Why It Doesn't Work:
What are the chances that this poor woman winds up on a vehicle that gets hijacked by a crazy terrorist played by an actor too good for the role twice in her life? Really, if your trip gets interrupted by a guy with a bomb as second time, the problem isn't terrorism. It's you.
Jason Patric plays Annie's useless cop boyfriend, a role that was clearly written for Keanu Reeves and thus probably contained directions to react to every situation with an expression of dull confusion.
Of course, the most glaring problem is that the movie is called Speed and yet takes place on a cruise ship, the slowest form of transportation ever devised by man. Will Speed 3 be about a bomb on a hot-air balloon? A donkey? A Segway scooter? It almost seems like they came up with the clever 'Cruise Control' pun in the title, and wrote the movie around it.
Really, Bullock should have known something was up when Keanu turne down the role. If the guy who starred in a sequel to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure passes on a movie script, you probably want to stay the fuck away.
#8. Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
Sequel To:The Blair Witch Project
Tenuous Connection:
A bunch of kids that saw the first movie and liked it. A lot.
Plot Summary:
A handful of college students take a "Blair Witch Tour" in the town where the first movie took place and crazy stuff happens. Wait, not crazy. Boring. Boring stuff happens.
Why It Doesn't Work:
The first Blair Witch movie worked only because of the ambiguity that the marketing folks created. Was it really the hand-held video of kids researching a town legend? Whether or not you bought into the marketing determined if you found the movie scary. Most of us realized it was obviously a gimmick, and didn't really find much to be scared about with cameramen snapping twigs outside tents and secretly rearranging stones. But, it worked for the folks who weren't sure.
The second movie decided to eliminate the whole "is it real" aspect and so got rid of the one thing that made the first movie scary for the anyone. All we're left with is a movie about the actual story of the Blair Witch. Guess what? That story is lame; that's why they had to dress it up with the fake documentary gimmick in the first place.
Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 is one of those movies that actually ruins the predecessor. Now that the whole hype machine surrounding The Blair Witch Project is completely forgotten, it would be possible for someone unfamiliar to see the movie at a video rental store and pick it up, thinking it actually is based on a true story. Oh, but Blair Witch 2 is right next to it on the shelf, and it's starring the guy from Burn Notice. Nevermind.
#7. RoboCop 3
Sequel To: RoboCop
Tenuous Connection:
Anne Lewis, RoboCop's partner.
Plot Summary:
RoboCop helps a bunch of people assert their rights as property owners.
Why It Doesn't Work:
Peter Weller, the original RoboCop, decided to pass on the movie. Do you know anything else Peter Weller has been in? The guy basically faced the choice of being able to afford to eat, or starring in RoboCop 3, and he chose to starve.
His replacement tried his hardest to purse his lips and talk like a robot, but the lack of Peter Weller made the movie seem like it belonged on television. Pretty much the only person who showed up for this movie who had ever been in another RoboCop movie was Nancy Allen, whose only other regular acting gig is showing up in our nightmares to whisper "Murphy, it's you," over and over.
During this movie, RoboCop replaces his hand with an automatic assault rifle attachment, attaches a jet pack to his suit, and fights robot ninjas. How do the words 'jet pack' and 'ninja' even get typed into a script about a cyborg that weighs over a ton? Modern screenplay-writing software should detect something like that and pop up a little paperclip that asks you if you've lost your fucking mind, then erases your hard drive.
#6. Under Siege 2: Dark Territory
Sequel To: Under Siege
Tenuous Connection:
Has the phrase "Under Siege" in the title.
Plot Summary:
Ex-Navy chef Steven Seagal is on a train that gets hijacked by some guys who are doing something with computers and satellites.
Why It Doesn't Work:
This movie originally had nothing to do with the original Under Siege. It was a script called Dark Territory about bad guys that have to hijack a train to do bad stuff. It has nothing to do with the Navy. It has nothing to do with the previous movie. Basically, Steven Seagal auditioned for the part and got it, so the producers figured they might as well give his character the same name as in Under Siege and call it a sequel.
What's especially odd is that, around this time, Speed was in need of a sequel, which meant it needed a script about a fast-moving vehicle, explosions and terrorists. Dark Territory would have fit, but it was turned into a sequel to Under Siege instead. This left Speed 2 in need of a script, so they used what was originally supposed to be the script for the third Die Hard movie, about a boat being hijacked. This obviously left Die Hard 3 in need of a script, so they gave Bruce Willis a sassy black partner and used the script that was originally going to be the fourth Lethal Weapon movie. This obviously left Lethal Weapon 4 without a script, but apparently they went ahead and shot that movie without one.
The bad guys in this movie hijack the train because, as they explain, nobody can track them if they keep moving. That's the best justification the writers could think of for someone hijacking a train. Apparently it never occurred to these guys to rent a van, avoiding any potential run-ins with assholes wearing tiny ponytails. It's also a lot more unpredictable because it doesn't, you know, run on tracks.

I am wondering if there are some studies about the number of reverses of direction to return to the starting point in random walk (either symmetric or non-symmetric), for example, its distribution and expectation etc..
Thank you.
I am wondering if there are some studies about the number of reverses of direction to return to the starting point in random walk (either symmetric or non-symmetric), for example, its distribution and expectation etc..
Thank you.
In the symmetric case, one assumes that $X_0=0$ and that $X_n=Y_1+\cdots+Y_n$ for $n\ge1$, where $(Y_n)_{n\ge1}$ is i.i.d. Bernoulli and centered. For $n\ge1$, let $R_n$ denote the number of reversals of $(X_k)_{0\le k\le n}$. Then $R_1=0$ and $R_n=U_2+\cdots+U_n$ where $U_k=[Y_kY_{k-1}=-1]$.
The conditional expectation of $R_{n+1}$ with respect to the $\sigma$-algebra $F_n=\sigma(X_k;0\le k\le n)$ is $R_n+P(Y_nY_{n+1}=-1|F_n)=R_n+\frac12$, hence $M_n=2R_n-n$ defines a martingale $(M_n)_{n\ge1}$ starting from $M_1=-1$.
In particular, for every uniformly integrable stopping time such as the first hitting time $T_h$ of the set $\{0,h\}$ with $h\ge1$ by $(X_n)_n$, $E(M_{T_h})=-1$, hence $$ 2E(R_{T_h})=E(T_h)-1. $$ When $h\to+\infty$, $T_h$ converges to the first return time $T$ to $0$ and $T$ is not integrable hence $R_T$ is not integrable.
In the asymmetric case, assume that $P(Y_n=+1)=p$ and $P(Y_n=-1)=1-p$ for a given $p$ in $(0,1)$. If $p\ne\frac12$, $(X_n)_n$ has a positive probability to never hit $0$ again, in which case the total number of reversals of its path is almost surely infinite, hence not integrable.
One way to save the day is to assume that $p<\frac12$ (for example) and to condition on the event $[X_1=1]$. Write $P^+$ for this conditioned probability measure and $E^+$ for the expectation with respect to $P^+$. Then the first return time $T$ to $0$ is (at last!) integrable for $P^+$ and $R_T\le T-1$ hence $R_T$ is integrable for $P^+$.
To compute the value of $E^+(R_T)$, one can mimick the argument given in the symmetric case to show that the formula $$ M_n=2R_n-n-(1-2p)X_{n-1} $$ defines a martingale $(M_n)_{n\ge1}$ with respect to $P^+$, starting from $M_1=-1$. Since $X_{T-1}=+1$ almost surely for $P^+$, this yields $$ 2E^+(R_{T})=E^+(T)-2p, $$ and it remains to compute $E^+(T)$. This can be done by the usual first-step decomposition: on $[Y_2=-1]$, $T=2$, and on $[Y_2=+1]$, $T=T'+T''$ for two independent copies of $T$. Hence $E^+(T)=2(1-p)+2E^+(T)p$, which yields the value of $E^+(T)$. Finally the mean number of reversals is $$ E^+(R_T)=\frac{1-2p(1-p)}{1-2p}. $$
For the symmetric random walk with $X_0=0$ and conditioned on $X_{2n}=0$, the average number of reversals should be $n$. Each outcome is a random ordering of $n$ plus signs and $n$ minus signs. A reversal takes place at any of the $2n-1$ time points from $1$ to $2n-1$, when the neighboring signs are opposite. Given the sign of one neighbor, the chance that the other neighbor has an opposite sign is ${n\over 2n-1}$. Adding up over the time points shows that the average number of sign changes is $n$.
The original question however is about the average number of reversals up to the first return $T$ to the origin. The argument above can be modified to show that, for $n>1$, $$E(\mbox{reversals}\ |\ T=2n) = n - 1 = T/2-1,$$ so that the expected number of reversals is infinite.

At Top of Class, but Tested Poorly
Q: My son is the "leader" of his first-grade class and is far above the rest of the students. He is currently reading and comprehending at a fifth-grade level. He is emotional, verbal, and a good thinker. The school district tested him for the gifted program, but their tests showed he is not "gifted."
How much faith should a parent put in a test that identifies whether or not a child is gifted? My wife and I feel he should be placed in a different class since the regular class is too easy for him. What should we do? Is he gifted or not?
A: Without knowing specifically what happened at the testing and what tests they used, I can only speculate about what occurred in your son's case. If they used a group achievement test given to all the students to screen for the gifted class, those tests are administered over several days. One "bad day" out of a series of testing days can throw off the composite result. Little children are especially susceptible to having falsely lowered scores due to fatigue, distraction, oncoming illness, etc. If your son received an individually administered IQ test, these scores can also be adversely affected if the young child is anxious or upset in any way during the testing, has a short attention span, or if the examiner fails to develop a good rapport with the child.
I think you should talk to the school and have them go over the test scores with you. It will then be more evident if there was a problem in the testing, or if your son has weaker areas in his academic skills. He does have advanced reading and vocabulary skills, but perhaps his mathematical ability is not as advanced. In IQ tests (such as the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) and the Wechsler Intelligence Test (WISC), the Verbal and Performance (or Qualitative and Quantitative) scores are combined in a composite score. Perhaps your son's composite score did not make the cutoff for the gifted classroom. Generally an IQ score of 130 and up is considered in the gifted range.
Recent research has indicated that parents are often very accurate in identifying giftedness in their child. Some districts are including parent identification checklists in their assessment for giftedness. Obviously your son "looked gifted" to the school in some way, or they would not have tested him. Again, I suggest you talk with the school about exactly what the scores were and how the testing went. (By the way, the examiner would have taken notes on the child's behavior during the individual testing indicating if there was a problem. These are found on the original testing protocol). If he does not qualify as fully gifted, it is quite possible he is sufficiently advanced in a certain subject, such as reading, to be subject skipped. That means he could take reading or language arts with the grade above his. If the testing results do not warrant gifted placement, the school can at least discuss with you how they plan to challenge your bright little guy in the coming year. Re-testing with the same test is not considered to be valid if it is done sooner than within two to three years.
You are right to ask questions. If a parent does not advocate for their child's educational needs, who will? I hope you find this data helpful. Good luck.

Good shot!
Main Content
Relaxing, nice shot! :)
Perfectly white nice shot
Wow, perfect shot!
awesome shot!
Especially Kewl!
So peaceful and serene
hahaha.. it's cute pose... love you polar bear..
Beautiful polar bear.
BUT "enjoying", "resting" or "relaxing" are not the good captions for this photo. Moreover, the description of this photo "Nearly camouflaged in his habitat, a polar bear surveys his surroundings." makes me sick, the fact that this bear is living in captivity is OBVIOUS.
No blame to the photographer, the shot itself is good and the pose if funny. But you need to tell the truth about it, standing in a zoo shooting behind a steel fence is very different from being with the bear in his habitat.
Sharing such a photo and allowing this lying description makes me really sad about National Geographic...
Please correct the description.
Today resting ....
Awesome pic!
Fabulous picture.
Very well taken .......bear enjoying
Beautiful image and pose!
if only we got such and such
check this out for 'content'
Seoul Grand Park zoo. Hardly "in his habitat".
Superb photo!
Where was this taken? It looks like a zoo. The rocks appear painted white with cracks clearly visiable.
Brilliant Photo
Amazing pic !!! seems like the bear is meditating with a smile on his/her face :)
Nice pic.
The polar bear looks so relaxing
Brilliant photo!
Lovely, looks like he is getting photographed for his latest cover of a magazine! Magnificent animal apparently loving his surroundings and just "chilling out". Such a great photo!
Beautiful. Nice capture of relaxed and content bear.
Very nice shot! Seemingly pondering about its future with the loss of its habitat.
Superb shot - makes me feel colder just looking at it!
how sad that this creature and it's environment will not be here for generations to enjoy seeing..(IN PICS) because of our abuse of the planet...
it is beautiful
all in white !!!
Great Shot !
Amazing photo. Perfect exposure
Lovely bear! It poses so gracefully!
Blissful idleness. Super shot.
Lovely shot !
Polar bear is so beautifully merged with the background. Love the shapes.Well shot !!!
great shot..
Looks like he or she has been catching enough to eat. Which I worry about with global warming.
so relax..
What's wonderful!
Pure White......
So cute.. So beautiful..
A truly magnificent animal with a far away look in its eyes, and seemingly posing for a really beautiful picture. The impact of white on white here with the cold green water added is fantastic, and also pleasing to me. So many words, so few to cover this shot. j.e.s.........
Wonderful, beautiful photo of a King or Queen sitting on their throne; it touched me deeply.
This is one of the best shots I have seen. I love it! Congratulation's on a job well done!

I'm working on an editor that enables its users to create "object" definitions in real-time. A definition can contain zero or more properties. A property has a name, a type and possibly a default value that corresponds to the type. Once a definition is created, a user can create an instance of that definition and set the property values of that instance.
So by the click of a mouse-button, the user should ie. be able to create a new definition called "Bicycle", and add the property "Size" of type "Numeric" and possibly a (default) value of 27. Then another property called "Name" of type "Text", and then another property called "Price" of type "Numeric". Once that is done, the user should be able to create ten instances of "Bicycle" and fill in the "Name" and "Price" property values of each bicycle.
This example uses only primitive property types (numeric and textual), but I want to support the following types:
- Numeric (primitive)
- Textual (primitive)
- Boolean (primitive)
- Object (compound, such as a "Bicycle" instance)
- Enumeration (a set of one of the above)
Now, I've seen this feature in several software products, so it must be a well-known concept. My problem started when I sat down and tried to come up with a DB schema to support this data structure. Does anyone know this concept well enough to give me a few pointers, or even point me in the direction of a design pattern for this? I'm planning to implement this in MySQL.
I hope I've managed to explain the concept well enough.

Hey beautiful (yes, I'm talking to you)!
Just wanted to write a quick blog saying thank you to everyone who is waiting it out with us. It's taken us a long time to write this record, but I assure you, it's going to be worth the wait. We're sitting on about 30 songs now, 10-12 of which will make up our best record to date! I don't plan on stopping the writing until we're out of the studio. Hell, I plan on writing continuously, I've learned that the more I do it, the better the songs get. You'd think I'd run out of content… I haven't yet! So until I do, it's writing, writing, writing! Thinking about whipping up another acoustic Christmas song for you. Whatcha think? Have you heard this one I did in 2008?
Again, thank you for sticking with us.

A woman loses her home. She is homeless and pregnant, she births a baby girl. She tries to raise it but in the end she buys her a necklace and tells her she's gonna get sandwiches and leaves her. The woman has organised with someone to adopt her girl. The adopters go and get the girl when the mom left her alone to get the food. The mother has organised this. Also there is a scene where the girl nurse in a hospital and she likes it there, she doesn't wanna leave. The director in the ending titles indicates how many people are homeless in the United States. The whole story takes place somewhere in the United States. I think sometime in the movie the woman works in a factory and when the girl is still a baby the man who rents them the apartment they live in tries to rape her.
May be it's God Bless the Child (1988)?

Finding Adult Allies for Your Teen
Sometimes things are simply too tense between you and your child, and it's time to take drastic measures—sic him on somebody else! The extreme version of this is to have your child live with another family for a few months. Less extreme is encouraging a friendship with a concerned adult.
Many people fondly remember an influential adult from their teen years—not a parent—who was concerned and involved. Friendships between adolescents and adults can be highly valuable to both, as they each gain new perspectives.
It's a Good Idea!
The parent who wants a child to be a disciplinary "success" should do everything possible to set her up for that success, and then stand back.
Behave Yourself!
Want your child to hang out all the time with that "bad element"? Just express disapproval. Want your child to hang out with the right crowd? All you can do is stress your values, listen and talk with your child, and trust that the good, the true, and the beautiful will win out over the forces of evil!
Adolescents are ripe for adult input (and I'm not talking about the stuff that comes from you). Developmentally, they seek role models to show them how to "be" in the world. (They're also prone to hero worship, which can make them quite vulnerable to betrayal.) If your child has a special adult friend:
- It's wonderful for your child to have somebody else to hash things out with. Remember that confidence in friendship is sacred. Respect your child's privacy, don't pry, and don't feel bad if she has secrets. Know that by asking your child to divulge confidences, you are essentially forcing your child to lie.
- In a similar vein, don't ask the adult friend to betray your child's trust, even if you are worried about your child. Get your information elsewhere—the friendship's sanctity should not be broken.
- The vast majority of people are reliable, trustworthy, and will not harm your child. If you don't like your adolescent's adult friend, don't say a word about it unless you fear for your child's safety or you sense something sexual is going on. This is your child's friendship, not yours.
- If you sense something illegal, immoral, or sexual happening, deal with it by talking with your child. Present yourself as an ally. If your child has gotten in over his head in a hard situation, be there to run interference.

The millions of photographs in the Museum's collections compose a vast mosaic of the nation's history. Photographs accompany most artifact collections. Thousands of images document engineering projects, for example, and more record the steel, petroleum, and railroad industries.
Some 150,000 images capture the history, art, and science of photography. Nineteenth-century photography, from its initial development by W. H. F. Talbot and Louis Daguerre, is especially well represented and includes cased images, paper photographs, and apparatus. Glass stereographs and news-service negatives by the Underwood & Underwood firm document life in America between the 1890s and the 1930s. The history of amateur photography and photojournalism are preserved here, along with the work of 20th-century masters such as Richard Avedon and Edward Weston. Thousands of cameras and other equipment represent the technical and business side of the field.
"Photography - Overview" showing 1 items.
Pendulum (Small Arc)
- Description (Brief)
- Berenice Abbott's photograph, Pendulum (Small Arc), is a stop-motion photograph. Although the photographer is more well-known for her 1930s abstracted views of New York City's architecture, she wanted to improve the quality of photography for scientists.
- Abbott devised apparatus and techniques to capture various phenomena. Beginning in 1958, she created photographs for the Physical Science Study Committee, a program to reform high school physics teaching. This picture illustrating the swing of a pendulum appeared in 1969 in The Attractive Universe: Gravity and the Shape of Space.
- Description
- During the 1920s, Berenice Abbott was one of the premier portrait photographers of Paris, her only competitor was the equally well-known Dada Surrealist Man Ray who had served as her mentor and employer before she launched her own career. An American expatriate, Abbott enjoyed the company of some of the great twentieth century writers and artists, photographing individuals such as Jean Cocteau, Peggy Guggenheim and James Joyce. One of the critical elements of Abbott's portraiture was a desire to neither enhance nor interfere with the sitter. She instead wished to allow the personality of her subject to dictate the form of the photograph, and would often sit with her clients for several hours before she even began to photograph them. This straight-forward approach to photography characterized Abbott's work for the duration of her career.
- Thematically and technically, Abbott's work can be most closely linked to documentary photographer Eugène Atget (COLL.PHOTOS.000016), who photographed Paris during the early 1900s. Abbott bought a number of his prints the first time she saw them, and even asked him to set some aside that she planned to purchase when she had enough money. After his death in 1927, Abbott took it upon herself to publicize Atget's work to garner the recognition it deserved. It was partly for this reason she returned to the United States in 1928, hoping to find an American publisher to produce an English-language survey of Atget's work. Amazed upon her arrival to see the changes New York had undergone during her stay in Paris, and eager to photograph the emerging new metropolis, Abbott decided to pack up her lucrative Parisian portrait business and move back to New York.
- The status and prestige she enjoyed in Paris, however, did not carry over to New York. Abbott did not fit in easily with her contemporaries. She was both a woman in a male-dominated field and a documentary photographer in the midst of an American photographic world firmly rooted in Pictorialism. Abbott recalls disliking the work of both photographer Alfred Stieglitz and his then protégé Paul Strand when she first visited their exhibitions in New York. Stieglitz, along with contemporaries such as Ansel Adams and Edward Steichen, tended to romanticize the American landscape and effectively dismissed Abbott's straight photography as she saw it. Not only was Atget's work rejected by the Pictorialists, but a series of critical comments she made towards Stieglitz and Pictorialism cost Abbott her professional career as a photographer. Afterwards, she was unable to secure space at galleries, have her work shown at museums or continue the working relationships she had forged with a number of magazine publications.
- In 1935, the Federal Art Project outfitted Abbott with equipment and a staff to complete her project to photograph New York City. The benefit of a personal staff and the freedom to determine her own subject matter was unique among federally funded artists working at that time. The resulting series of photographs, which she titled Changing New York, represent some of Abbott's best-known work. Her photographs of New York remain one of the most important twentieth century pictorial records of New York City. Abbott went on to produce a series of photographs for varied topics, including scientific textbooks and American suburbs. When the equipment was insufficient to meet her photographic needs, as in the case of her series of science photographs, she invented the tools she needed to achieve the desired effect. In the course of doing so, Abbott patented a number of useful photographic aids throughout her career including an 8x10 patent camera (patent #2869556) and a photographer's jacket. Abbott also spent twenty years teaching photography classes at the New School for Social Research alongside such greats as composer Aaron Copland and writer W.E.B. DuBois.
- Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Abbott's career was the printing of Eugène Atget's photographs, one of the few instances in which one well-known photographer printed a large number of negatives made by another well-known photographer. The struggle to get Atget's photographs the recognition they deserved was similar to Abbott's efforts to chart her own path by bringing documentary photography to the fore in a Pictorialist dominated America. Though she experienced varying levels of rejection and trials in both efforts, her perseverance placed her in the position she now holds as one of the great photographers of the twentieth century.
- The Bernice Abbott collection consists of sixteen silver prints. The photographs represent a range of work Abbott produced during her lifetime, including her early portraiture work in Paris, her Changing New York series, Physics and Route 1, U.S.A. series.

Is it possible to submit a form with a script?
I know it must be because these days there are tons of forms that ask you to fill in numbers. But what script can do this anyway? How is it done using PHP, Javascript or jQuery... ajax?
For example. I am uploading images and info about products on a website. I am wondering if I have to mannually go to the website or if I can submit different info from my database. Make sense?

How do you make chocolate thin enough to dip strawberries?
If I make it thin enough to dip (with butter) will that affect allowing it to set-up and harden?
I saw another question about the thickness but nothing about hardening.
How do you make chocolate thin enough to dip strawberries?
Melt it. I'm not trying to be funny here -- you should have no problem dipping strawberries or pretty much anything else (that's solid) in melted chocolate. When candy makers coat things in chocolate, that's all they're using -- they don't add anything to make the chocolate thinner. If you're really having trouble in this respect, then perhaps your chocolate isn't fully melted, or perhaps it's something other than real chocolate.
If you want the chocolate to be "tempered" when it hardens/dries/crystalizes, you're going to have to read up on tempering and be pretty careful with the temperature (but you'll end up with a superior product if you do).
Yes, that will definitely affect the way the chocolate sets up. When chocolate hardens, the cocoa butter contained in the chocolate forms crystals. The crystals can actually take several different forms, and only one of those forms makes for the best appearance and hardness. That's why you temper chocolate, btw. Adding other substances, particularly another fat, will affect or prevent that crystallization process.
Caleb has great answer that pretty much covers it.
The only thing I would add is this: If you want to lower the melting point of your chocolate (or keep it liquid longer), I add cream.
The cream stops it from solidifying quickly, which is great if you have fondue set which is warmed with a candle.
It also doesn't affect the flavour (much).
Be careful though, adding too much can stop it from solidifying at all.
adding just a little melted wax works fine for me, and helps it set up when it cools. I do this particularly for dark chocolate, which is really too thick for dipping.

I have a large PDF file and I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro. The document comes straight from the publisher, so it has its TrimBox and BleedBox defined. The catch is that the cropping dimensions differ from page to page.
Is it possible within Adobe Acrobat X Pro to define a batch operation so that all the pages will be cropped automagically to the correct size (as is defined with the TrimBox settings per page)? I understand how to define a CropBox, but if I use those settings on the whole document (or even a folder filled with documents), all pages will be cropped with the same, fixed dimensions (which is not what we need).
I also found a useful Question that can help me solve this problem using ImageMagick and GhostScript (link), but I noticed that that resulted in some data loss, making the images too "smudgy" for my purpose. If there is a way to do this with ImageMagick without data loss, that would be fine too, but I prefer using the Batch operation of Adobe Acrobat X Pro if that would be possible.
Any ideas?

Psychic: Rite of Sacrifice (HSRP Remake)

Psychic: Rite of Sacrifice (HSRP Remake) -
Its about a decade or so after Wesker was destroyed by the Resistance, led by Destiny, Miya and Lee. Despite the time and effort gone into renewing the city things are still bad.
The educational system is next to non-existent, medicine is primitive, mostly relying on rare individuals healing powers to cure the sick, and justice is still enforced with a bloodied pipe to the head.
Much of the city is still destroyed by fire or monster attacks over the years and Infectia still takes up a third of the city, zombies shambling the diseases streets, not more rotted than ever.
Unknown to the old leaders of the Resistance or to nearly anyone alive something strange is happening in Infectia. The zombies, previously staggering corpses with little to no intellect, are growing faster, more resistant to bullets and in some cases, their rotted flesh is healing. To make it even worse, theyre getting smarter, while still retaining their bloodlust. For now they are still stupid, but its only a matter of time.
A researcher and budding entrepreneur, Janus Mortan, is one of the few to have the privilege of noticing this. However, instead of telling the public so they could arm themselves and prevent for a another outbreak, Janus has decided to use this to win himself a name and has pledged to rid Infectia of zombies for good.
After much trial and error he turned from seeing the mutation as a disease and instead looked to the old Lore of Carcer. There he found legends of a Void under the city, a place of pure evil that contact with it did change my brethren from living souls to the living dead that do prey on us still alive. Yet there are those who come is the guise of man, and speak as one enough to fool all, but they too are the same as the corpses that walk.
This intrigued him. Zombies had existed before Umbrella, indeed, even before the chemicals could be made? And this case of zombism had been stopped.
He dug deeper, and found the Rite of Sacrifice, a ritual once conducted in order to close the Void. With the knowledge of the Rite, Janus is sure he can devise a Rite that closes the Void permanently. All he needs are the right people
But that will take time, and there are matters closer to home. EcoBioTech is now the dominant laboratory in Carcer since the fall of Umbrella, but several people have reported strange things happening around the buildings at night and kidnappings have increased 27 per cent this quarter. Its with this that the Resistance is busying itself.
But the Resistance is older now. They are mostly married, with children of their own, and most of those in their teens. Perhaps its time to hand down the reins?
Usual RP rules apply.
Silent_Wolf, Miranda_ and Sarah_K_O_M only. This is a remake after all.
A teenage girl was on her way to the cinema, to meet up with her friends. She was quite short and had hair that was black streaked with electric blue, held back with brightly coloured clips and slides. Her name was Mai Emerald, the adopted daughter of Destiny and David Emerald/son.
Like all Carcer girls her age, Mai carried a small caliber handgun with her, hers resting by her hip and hidden under her coat.
She reached the cinema and leaned against the wall to wait for the others, flexing her shoulders uncomfortable. Carcer was a desert city and the nights were often humid, even in winter.
Opposite the cinema was a construction site, the men working on it even at that late hour. It was only recently there had been much headway in restoring the place but it had given her mother high hope. Destiny was already planning out schools and hospitals, the hospitals supplied fully with medicine and machines from her own business, Emerald Inc.
Like her mother Mai hoped to be a doctor, or failing that, a writer.
Right now shed just settle for her friends arriving though.
