"Show me the manner in which a nation or community cares for its dead, and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty to high ideals."
That quote by Sir William Ewart Gladstone, who first served as prime minister of Great Britain starting in December of 1868 during the reign of Queen Victoria, is inscribed on a plaque on the maintenance building at Union Cemetery in Steubenville.
And it's a quote the Hetty Elizabeth Beatty No. 1419 Chapter of the Questers is endeavoring to honor by launching a campaign to restore the old stone chapel building constructed in 1892.
"This was the original office at Union Cemetery," said Edna Walley, a member of the chapter who noted the first Jefferson County Courthouse bell hangs in the belfry.
"The original slate roof is in dire need of replacement, and plans are under way to begin the project next year," Walley said.
Dave Wertz, a professor of restoration at Belmont Community College, and Joe Benline, supervisor at Union Cemetery, assessed the damaged slate, according to Walley. "In addition to the roof, they would like to repair any additional deterioration to the building along with planting new shrubbery to complete the project."
The cemetery was founded in 1854 and is "a beautiful part of our community and second on the national registry for lawn beauty," Walley said. "It is, as the history of the cemetery points out, 'a community album and sanctuary for the dead and a source of inspiration for the living."
Walley said it is there that the public enjoys walking, jogging, school field trips, bird watching, the study of plants and wildlife or just relaxing on a bench and reflecting or reading.
"The Questers would like to ensure that this beautiful and historical place of rest will remain a place to admire and respect for at least another 150 years," Walley said.
While the chapter has raised some funds toward the restoration, additional funds are needed to aid in the project, according to Walley.
"With the help of donations from the public, they can proceed with this project as planned," Walley said.
For anyone interested, checks can be made out to Questers H.E.B. Chapter and sent c/o the Pugliese Charitable Foundation, P.O. Box 2620, Wintersville, OH 43953.
The Questers is a charitable organization, and donations are tax-deductible.

6 Shocking Ways TV Rewires Your Brain
The average American watches more than four hours of television per day (five times the amount dedicated to socialization!). It makes sense that it would change us, the same as doing anything for four hours a day changes you. Yet, it's surprisingly hard to get people to accept this.
But the science is pretty much overwhelming. Enough television rewires your brain in a bunch of unexpected ways. For instance ...
#6. It Changes You, Even if You're Too Young to Know What You're Watching
It's easy to assume that impressionable children can be affected by TV shows, but what about toddlers? They aren't even aware of what's going on around them. Besides, they don't do a whole lot besides chew on furniture and inflate their diapers, so it's not like they could be doing something better with their time.
Like curing AIDS with crocs on.
Scientists tracked more than 1,000 29-month-old babies and their television habits and the effects of excess TV were downright startling -- even after researchers accounted for all the other factors that would explain differences in behavior. The more television a child watched as a toddler, the more likely it was that he'd be fat, bullied, bad at math, inactive and prone to misbehavior in the classroom.
Again, that's not a result of watching violent TV shows or anything else that would encourage them to do bad things. Not that a 3-year-old would be able to absorb those lessons anyway.
"Little Jimmy does love his Oz reruns!"
Nope, it's just the act of watching television. And again, it's not just that the type of parent who plants a kid in front of a TV all day probably also runs a bad household -- the results hold up even if you account for all other factors in the kids' upbringing.
And the research holds up around the world. A New Zealand study found that more hours of television viewed as a toddler led to a higher probability of dropping out of school later in life. In a stunning display of initiative, France has even banned shows from having children younger than 3 as their target audience, because French adults are the only ones allowed to have their intelligences insulted.
We bet this show is legal in France.
And while we're on the subject, let's get this one out of the way ...
#5. Yes, TV Lowers Your Attention Span
Since television -- especially children's TV -- is lightning-fast and loaded with stimuli, it isn't outlandish to think that a person's brain might become adjusted to that pace over time. When a teacher cannot supplement his or her lectures with dinosaurs and explosions, a child's television-altered attention span may be so deprived that the child cannot stay focused.
"Now kids, to help us learn about the pyramids, Christian Bale
is going to come in and run over a history book with the Batmobile."
But most of us who don't buy into "the modern world is destroying the children!" alarmism have trouble believing that too much TV can actually rewire your attention span in any significant way.
But an Iowa State University study sure enough found that students who stare at a screen for more than two hours per day are twice as likely to be diagnosed with attention problems, which is awesome when you consider that the average amount of time a child spends watching television and playing video games is 4.26 hours a day.
They'd at least have to go outside to buy drugs.
The study followed 1,323 children in grades three through five and 210 college students. The results make it fairly hard to argue that television doesn't literally change the way the human brain functions, with enough exposure. But even stranger, other studies have shown (just like with the example above) that the amount of television watched as an infant can affect attention habits later in life.
So again, if you want your kids to be able to pay attention to anything for longer than 38 seconds, you need to move into a hotel and wheel the television out onto the balcony like Craig T. Nelson in Poltergeist.
#4. It Alters Your Dreams
Television can change your dreams, and not just by making you wish you could master time travel to become an advertising executive in the 60s.
"The time machine is in my pants."
According to science, television can alter your actual dreams, the kind that happen while you're asleep. Research has found that some people have monochrome dreams (that is, they dream in black and white), and it's apparently all their televisions' fault.
"Tonight you'll be playing badminton on a pirate ship in magnificent shades of gray!"
In a study of 50 people, half under 25 and the rest over 55, the subjects filled out a questionnaire related to the color of their dreams, their contentedness with their marriages and the colors of their televisions in their formative childhood years. Then the subjects were asked to keep a dream diary. Researchers found that while hardly any of the younger people dreamed in black and white (around four percent), a quarter of the older-than-55 group did. That is, the people who grew up with black and white televisions.
Artist's depiction of every male over 55.
Scientists attribute this to hours of exposure to black and white images during the subjects' formative years, but there is no way to know if the actual dreams were in black and white, or if the subjects just remember them as such due to years of visual training by their TV sets.
It's pretty weird either way.

One-day road trips from Cape Town
Did you know that Cape Town is one of the largest cities in the world in terms of surface area? It exceeds cities like London, Buenos Aires, Moscow, Kuala Lumpur, Rio de Janeiro and many more in sheer size.
Add to space the elements of beauty – the city of Cape Town is situated in the smallest and richest of the world's six floral kingdoms – and cultural diversity and you are met with a city where inspiration lurks behind every corner, waiting to be discovered. Pack your favourite road trip tracks; whether it is Creedence Clearwater Revival who inspired the theme of this blog or local sounds, a map and let the open road take you where it will.
Here are some ideas for day trips; two of these will take you beyond city borders:
Constantia Wine Route to Cape Point
This route takes you directly to the Constantia Wine Route, then around the False Bay side of the peninsula to reach the penguins at Boulders Beach and Cape Point Nature Reserve with enough time to enjoy the circular route back via Scarborough and Chapman's Peak.
Take the M3 towards Muizenberg from Cape Town until it becomes Edinburgh Drive and you see the Constantia Valley Wine Route stretched out before you. These lands were cultivated by the first governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, in 1685. Drive from here along the M3, turning towards Muizenberg and make your way slowly through the hamlets of St James and Kalk Bay, continuing on to Simon's Town for a visit to Boulders Beach. Road works on the Main Road mean you have to travel along Boyes Drive for a small section of your journey. Rather than being a hindrance, this detour actually gives sweeping views of both False Bay and the Atlantic coastline.
From here, it is an easy drive to Cape Point where maps are available that show beaches suitable for children, snorkeling etc. Make your way back via the spectacular drive through Scarborough, past the Kommetjie lighthouse, through Noordhoek and over Chapman's Peak, which promises breathtaking views. Meander through Hout Bay and take the Atlantic coastal road back via Llandudno to Camps Bay – the perfect spot for sundowners at the end of the day.
Don't miss:
- The kramat (a Muslim shrine) on the grounds of the Klein Constantia wine estate. The shrine is dedicated to Sheikh Abdurachman Matebe Shah who was banished to the forests of Constantia by the Dutch in the 1660s. Tours of the estate are by appointment only. Call +27 (0)21 794 5188 to make enquiries.
- Snorkelling at Venus Pools, Cape Point. (Be sure to check the tides before heading down to the pools.)
- A walk on Scarborough's wild beach or Kommetjie's boardwalk near the lighthouse.
Distance: About 170km
West Coast, Darling & Riebeek Kasteel Route
Start your journey from the coastal towns of Bloubergstrand and Melkbosstrand, known as the little West Coast, driving along the R27 all the way to the West Coast National Park.
Leave early, stopping at !Khwa ttu San Education and Culture Centre, 70km out of Cape Town, just before Yzerfontein. Have breakfast and then head for the West Coast National Park where you will be met by a carpet of Namaqualand flowers during the spring flowering season. Take a detour to Darling and Riebeek Kasteel to sample wine and olives. Visit Evita se Perron for side splitting comedy by Pieter Dirk Uys and enjoy lunch in town or head over to arty Riebeek Kasteel for a bite to eat. Enjoy the scenic 1.5-hour drive back via the N7.
Don't miss:
- The replica of a traditional San village at !Khwa ttu near Yzerfontein.
- Sitting quietly in a bird hide on the lagoon where flamingos abound in winter and 70 000 winged migrants arrive from northern Russia in summer.
- Paternoster: the characterful fishing village further north offers many beachside cottages to rent for weekends.
Distance: About 317km
Durbanville Wine Route
The exceptional Durbanville Wine Valley in the Tygerberg Hills is easy to explore from Cape Town and the circular part of the route should ideally be done clockwise for spectacular Table Mountain views.
Durbanville is known for its excellent wines, especially Sauvignon Blanc, and genuine hospitality. Start your tour at Durbanville Hills; continue on to Poplar's Restaurant or Ntida wine estate for lunch. Stop in at Bloemendal if they offer one of their famous festivals and continue on to Meerendal wine estate, Diemersdal or De Grendel.
Don't miss:
- A game drive at Clara Anna Fontein.
- Mountain bike trails on wine estates.
- Take the kids tobogganing at Cool Runnings just past Tyger Valley.
Distance: About 93km
Route 62
Cape Route 62 winds between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn, all the way to Port Elizabeth through the Western and Eastern Cape; it is also known as the world's longest wine route.
There are a number of variations in terms of stops and distance travelled on the route, but my favourite is from Cape Town, through Worcester, Robertson, Ashton and onward to Montagu. On your journey you will encounter mountains and scenic passes, rivers, diverse indigenous flora and excellent wines all set in an atmosphere of rustic tranquility.
The first stop on your journey will be the historic town of Paarl that boasts excellent Cape Dutch, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco architecture along the longest main road in the country. Worcester is the economic hub of the Breede River valley, nestled at the foot of the Brandwacht and Langeberg mountains, home to the Karoo Desert National Botanical Garden. A short drive away is Robertson, one of the most beautiful Cape Winelands towns with a rich viticulture history. Further along is Ashton, which offers top notch rock climbing amongst other things. Your final destination is the gateway to the Little Karoo, a town called Montagu. Peaceful, it is most famous for its abundant orchards, vineyards, rock formations, restaurants and hot mineral springs.
Don't miss:
- Enjoying a glass of Paarl Valley wine in one of the many glorious eateries in this town.
- Take a trip back in time at Kleinplasie Living Open Air Museum in Worcester to sample pioneer lifestyle along with witblits (a traditional clear brandy distilled in the region since the 19th century), homemade jams, bread and confectionary.
- Relax and revive at the Avalon Springs in Montagu.
Distance: About 400km
*There's plenty to experience and after a long day's drive Route 62 is best enjoyed with an overnight stay in Montagu.

Today President Obama announced his proposals for restrictions on gun sales, and signed 23 executive actions to strengthen background checks and expand safety programs. On the tail of this announcement, we take a look back at the history of gun control in America.
It's always been about the who, what, and where, when it comes to gun control in America. Who should have guns? What kind of guns, and where they are allowed to have them.
These regulations tend to follow major violent events.
Following the civil war, Congress passed the Enforcement Act of 1870 to stop the rise of para-military group violence.
"That is state of the art until we see the next big moment in the history of gun control... the 1968 Gun Control Act," said WKU History Professor Dr. Patricia Minter.
This act received strong bipartisan support following major assassinations.
"Two major political assassinations. Dr. Martin Luther King in April, and presidential candidate Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and of course his brother had been assassinated in 1963," said Minter.
The attempted assassination of President Reagan in 1981 sparked city-wide gun bans. It was the opinions of Supreme Court justices in the 90s to rule handgun bans in D.C. And Chicago from the 70s and 80s unconstitutional, that would leave room for debate over the type of guns allowed.
That's a debate we see today as the president urged congress to reinstate an assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.
"Today's proposal was consistent with two opinions written by very conservative Supreme Court Justices," said Minter.
Something seen here in Warren County today was an increase in applications for conceal carry licenses.
"For the past two months, we've taught one virtually every Saturday, and I know over the next fie Saturdays, we will be teaching one each of the next five Saturdays to capacity," said Certified Conceal Carry Instructor Phil Kimbel.
One of the things addressed in these classes is keeping guns stored safely, and preventing them from falling into the wrong hands, something President Obama urged congress to address with laws on background checks.

I wanted to greet you at my front gate, so we could stroll through my courtyard and enjoy the view before heading to my porch. Please click on any picture to enlarge for detail.
All of my roses and lavender are in bloom. Can you smell their sweet scent?
I will have to have you back for dinner al fresco some night. We can even light a fire in the fireplace, because evenings are always cool in the mountains.
We are almost there. Now, I don't have a "porch" so I am really having a deck party.
I love the way the sun filters through the deck railings across these vintage watering cans.
Here we are. There are seats in the sun and in the shade. Take your pick!
After I show you around, I will run inside and get some refreshments. When I do, you might want to browse through this beautiful book.
I made some mosaic coasters for my porch this year. Look closely. The bases are clay saucers, white washed.
Remember the planter I painted a few posts back? Here it is.

How did it come about historically that っ preceding a sound would geminate it? Is it really a little つ or are they just near homomorphs?

This question should be broken into two different questions:
(For those who don't know the term: gemination simply means doubling of sounds, usually consonants. It's easy to get the sense once you see it comes from the same Latin root as Gemini).
The answer for the first question is simpler, and was already given: in historical kana usage, consonant gemination was originally represented either by a full-size つ or by another consonant that got elided (usually that would be く, as in 学校, which was written ガくカウ in old spelling, or き as in 石鹸, originally: セキケン). The small-tsu spelling is recent. It was used sometimes even in the 19th century to indicate that the sound got elided, if not earlier, but small kana letters became a standard only following the 1946 spelling reform.
The answer for the second question is more tricky. I don't have any historical linguistics books that I can check to get a definite answer for when the change happened, but it couldn't be earlier than the Heian period, and it was probably earlier than the 17th century. The reason for the change was quite simple: it happened in places where the sounds く and つ were already pronounced without the vowel (as still happens today in words such a ドクター and いつか which are usually pronounced
From here, the process that happened is quite simple: in words like 学校 the gemination was already there once the vowel disappeared and the word was pronounced
There are also some cases where the gemination was not caused by an elided consonant, but from the elision of a long vowel (like 真赤 まあか which became 真っ赤 まっか) or just because speakers decided to make the word longer for emphasis or some other reason (that's what happened in きっと, which was originally きと). These spontaneous geminations still happen today.
It's like a つ that gets dropped. You see it often in compound words where the first part would end in つ by itself. e.g., 発見(はっけん). 発 is pronounced はつ by itself. はつけん is a little bit uncomfortable to pronounce, so it becomes はっけん. There are at least dozens if not hundreds of examples that follow this pattern.
Edit This is not the only place that the small tsu comes up. As Tsuyoshi Ito points out, there are other patterns such as 学校 (がっこう) instead of がくこう and 作家(さっか) instead of さくか.
The usage of the small tsu っ to be used officially as a geminate consonant can be traced back to the Japanese government in 昭和六一年七月一日 (July 1st 1986(I believe)). You can read the bulletin by the 文部科学省 (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology; MEXT) that discusses this:
Loose Translation:
Notice: When using "tsu" for a geminate constant, it should be written in small form as much as possible.
Since 「なるべき」 is more of "where feasible, as much as possible" versus something more strict such as 「必ず (without fail)」, it does suggest the ability for this rule to be broken. This would most likely be in the cases of showing usage previous to this notice.
Source: http://www.mext.go.jp/b_menu/hakusho/nc/t19860701002/t19860701002.html
According to the Wikipedia page for 促音, it used to be a big つ, then was changed by law to a small one in the Heisei era. I'm not sure what the history of using つ to lengthen a sound is.
Edit Ah, like Brendan says, it's the つ that's trouble to pronounce made small. The Wikipedia page also says that it's small to differentiate it from a normal つ.

There is a famous Rashi in Parashat Vayigash (46:29) where Rashi explains that Yaakov didn't cry on Yosef's shoulders because he was reciting Shema. He cryptically quotes this in the name of "Rabotenu," but I can't seem to find a chumash that brings the original source of Yaakov saying Shema. Anyone know of a source, perhaps in a Midrash somewhere?

Rabbi Avraham Berliner finds a few sources for this: Radak quotes it as a midrash, and we find an allusion to it in Derech Eretz Zuta 1 and in Tshuvos HaGe'onim (Lik) 45.
Chumash Shai Lamoreh in Sharey Tziyon says it comes from Midrash Agada as well as Teshuvos Hageonim (Simon 45 Teshuva 38) in the name of Mar Rav Yehudai Gaon. He says to see also Mesechtes Derech Eretz Zuta Perek Aleph and Maharsha Chiddushey Aggados to Yoma 19b.
I belive the midrash is Breshit Rabba 99.

OEM12c Password Change for SYSMAN and Weblogic Administration Accounts
By AndyBaker on Nov 20, 2013
Having recently created an OEM12c virtual box install for a proof of concept (POC) at a customer site, another opportunity arose to reuse the same virtual machine. Alas the SYSMAN and WEBLOGIC administration passwords were unknown and required to be reset before reuse. Initially it was considered that this would be an easy task and it referenced some Oracle metalink published notes to complete the operation. However these notes and other published material were found to be missing some of the more critical steps, they were found to be lacking also in clarity and detail leading to a complex and error prone process that had to be retried many times. The purpose of this document is to give a clear step by step process to an administrator in a similar position that covers all the steps and not just some of the steps in detail with examples to follow.

Am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what GUI library can be used for developing cross platform applications such as Spotify. I have a feeling Qt-Quick might be the best answer but am not aware of most of the newer UI technologies so if you have any recommendations please feel free to share.
Well - you already mentioned Qt in the question - but that's my answer.
I would very strongly recommend Qt as a cross platform development UI toolkit. This comes from personal experience over 10+ years in numerous types of applications in different industries and platforms.
The toolkit in no way feels aged - and (I don't think you were actually implying this, but...) I don't think there's any question of not being able to produce modern slick looking applications.
Intuitive, ease to use and flexible. Excellent documentation, well discussed, with many examples and forums. Fully supported of multiple OS desktop, embedded and mobile platforms. These are just some of the reasons it's a great option.
-- edit -- This article about mflow has plenty of relevance. I quote:
Here's a screenshot of the mflow downloadable desktop app:
According to this question on SO, the linux version of Spotify uses Qt4. This is also mentioned elsewhere
I would have to suggest using Silverlight; as far as Windows and Mac users, it will Just Work™ for everybody, and I'd hazard a guess that most of the serious Linux users out there are well-enough versed to install and configure an alternate runtime like Moonlight on their systems.
Also, with Silverlight 4, you can create out-of-browser applications that appear like seamlessly installed desktop applications, as opposed to web plugins.

I'm doing a presentation on User Experience to my fellow colleagues (IT consultants) and have a section on white spaces / white spacing. Seems like searching for relevant content is not possible when searching for white spaces.
I know it's important to not have a cluttered site, leaving the spaces to enable users to figure out similarities, proximities and grouping of elements – but I'm unable to find anything on white spaces as a theory. Is there a theory on white spaces alone, or is it a consequence of other psychological aspects?

This page contains a prominent warning:
Never build RPMS as root.
Why is it bad to build RPMs as root? Is it the possibility of overwriting some files? Are there file permissions problems?
Badly written RPM .spec files (or even well-written ones with a typo) can do improper things such as:
There is no part of the RPM build process that actually needs root access. So, we should follow the standard procedure of "If it doesn't need root permission, it doesn't run as root" when building RPMs.
This avoids nasty accidents and surprises.
mock for fedora is pretty nice, too. If it'll build in mock, chances are it's a pretty clean RPM.
Generally you should never use the root user except you really need the rights. But you are right the main problem would be that 'rpmbuild' would execute nearly everything you wrote into a spec file. (override files, create users, delete files etc.).
As a side note I would suggest to take a look at the openSUSE Build Service which makes building rpms for different distributions really easy. (It can also set up as a local instance.)

I am currently writing a master's dissertation. In this dissertation I have chosen to typographically separate logical argument, (Theorems, Proofs, and Definitions) from aids to understanding (Examples, Remarks and Asides).
Basically, sections that are intended to be rigorous is written in normal font, and sections that are intended to help the reader understand what is being written, but are not fundamental are written italicised.
The intention is simple: One who is familiar with the area is likely only checking definitions or theorems, and can focus on the normal text without hunting through a mountain of prose that they are already familiar with.
Someone who is new to the area, and who is not yet interested in the nitty-gritty details of a formal definition can focus on the italicised text, perhaps going back to the normal text later for something more concrete.
However my supervisor seems to think this is a bad idea, and has asked me to find precedents for this from well-known authors. Has anyone seen something like this before?
PS. When i say italicised, i actually mean only slanted. It's much easier to read than actually-italicised text. I could change the font to sans-serif for those sections.

Let's say I have a string:
$string1 = "Hello_World:How, are, you:-all -is -well"
I would like to use a regex to match the sections of the string seperated by colon's into named groups. For example:
$pattern = "(?<first>.*)\:(?<second>.*)\:(?<third>.*)"
This $pattern would match $string1 successfully and I would end up with the following matches:
second=How, are, you
third=-all -is -well
This is good, but there is a problem. The $string1 could potentially be missing the third section, for example:
$string1 = "Hello_World:How, are, you"
Unfortunately, this $string1 no longer matches the regex pattern. How do I make it so that the pattern will match both formats of string? (i.e. I should always have a "first" and "second" match, and only a "third" match if it's provided).

Cancer screening tests are designed to find cancer or pre-cancerous areas before there are any symptoms and, generally, when treatments are most successful. Learn more about screening tests. Various organizations have developed guidelines for cancer screening for men. While these guidelines vary slightly between different organizations, they cover the same basic screening tests. Screening tests for men begin after age 50s and screen for prostate and colorectal cancers. During routine health exams (at any age) your healthcare provider may also evaluate for cancers of the skin, mouth, thyroid and testes. Not all screening tests are right for everyone and your personal and family health history can affect which tests are right for you, so be sure to discuss this with your healthcare provider.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends that men make an informed decision with their doctor about whether to be tested for prostate cancer. Research has not yet proven that the potential benefits of testing outweigh the harms of testing and treatment. The American Cancer Society believes that men should not be tested without learning about what we know and don't know about the risks and possible benefits of testing and treatment. Starting at age 50, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of testing so you can decide if testing is the right choice for you. If you are African American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65, you should have this talk with your doctor starting at age 45. If you decide to be tested, you should have the PSA blood test with or without a rectal exam. How often you are tested will depend on your PSA level. For more information, please see Prostate Cancer: Early Detection.
The majority of testicular cancers occur between the ages of 15 and 45. All men should examine their testicles regularly, be familiar with their normal look and feel and report any changes to their healthcare provider for further investigation.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed today and is one of the easiest to prevent or detect early. Remember that people of all skin tones can, and do, get skin cancer. Start by practicing sun safety, including using a broad spectrum sunscreen (protects against UVA & UVB rays) every day, avoiding peak sun times (10am-4pm, when the rays are strongest) and wearing protective clothing such as hats, sunglasses and long sleeved shirts. Examine your skin regularly so you become familiar with any moles or birthmarks. If a mole has changed in any way, including a change in size, shape, or color, has developed scaliness, bleeding, or oozing, or has become itchy or painful, or you develop a sore that will not heal, you should have a healthcare provider examine the area. If you have many moles, it may be helpful to make note of moles using pictures or a mole map. SkinCancerNet has a helpful guide to performing a skin exam. Learn more about the types of skin cancer on OncoLink and the American Academy of Dermatology's SkinCancerNet and the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Most men and women, over the age of 50 should undergo routine screening for colon and rectal cancer. Testing may be appropriate for younger people with a high risk personal or family health history.
Options for screening for colon cancer can be divided into those that screen for both cancer and polyps and those that screen just for cancer. Tests that screen for cancer and polyps include flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, double-contrast barium enema or CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy). Tests that screen mainly for cancer include stool testing for blood or stool DNA testing. Learn more about the CRC screening options. The ""preferred screening"" of the American College of Gastroenterologists is colonoscopy every 10 years for people with average colon cancer risk. The ACS recommends that average risk individuals begin screening at age 50 with one of the following:
Individuals at higher risk of colon cancer should have screening earlier and potentially more frequently. Individuals at higher risk of colon and rectal cancer include:
For more detailed information regarding screening for colon cancer, see the ACS site describing guidelines for screening for high-risk individuals and the American College of Gastroenterology document on screening guidelines for high-risk populations.
Visit the American Cancer Society to learn more about general screening test recommendations. Visit the US Department of Health & Human Services for recommended health screenings for men at any age or men over 50.

The human voice generates sound waves, and the telephone converts the sound waves into electrical signals, analogous to sound. Analog signaling is not robust, either because of line noise or inefficient techniques used to reduce line noise. Analog transmissions are boosted by amplifiers because the signal diminishes the farther it travels from the CO. As the signal is boosted, the noise is also boosted, which often causes an unusable connection.
In digital networks, signals are transmitted over great distances and coded, regenerated, and decoded without degradation of quality. Repeaters amplify the signal and clean it to its original condition. Repeaters then determine the original sequence of the signal levels and send the clean signal to the next network destination.
Voice ports on routers and access servers physically connect the router or access server to telephony devices such as telephones, fax machines, PBXs, and PSTN central office (CO) switches. These devices may use any of several types of signaling interfaces to generate information about on-hook status, ringing, and line seizure.

FACT: Harassment is humiliating and degrading. It undermines school careers, often threatens employment status, and interferes with a person's emotional well-being. No one should endure humiliation with a smile.
FACT: Sexual harassment is not a sexually motivated act, but is an expression of hostility and/or power focused on differences in gender or sexual orientation. People do not invite sexual harassment.
FACT: Generally, the harasser is persistent and does not stop on his/her own, and often has more than one target. When a victim ignores the advances, leers, comments, or suggestions, the harasser may interpret this behavior as consent or encouragement.
FACT: Federal statistics report that in Fiscal Year 2002, the EEOC received 14,396 charges of sexual harassment.
FACT: Although the problem most often involves men harassing women, it sometimes occurs the other way around or may involve individuals of the same gender. Harassment usually involves individuals using their authority, power, or perceived status or relationship inappropriately. Whenever it occurs, it is wrong.
FACT: Stalking is against the law and repeated behavior that is meant to cause emotional distress, or creates fear of bodily injury, can be prosecuted.
Additional statistics about sexual harassment on college campuses can be found at http://www.ncjrs.org/pdffiles1/nij/182369.pdf

I'm a web developer with 10 years of experience in the Microsoft stack. I was brought to the US by my company, but my contract has ended.
I want to continue pursuing a career in the US, but it seems there's a focus on networking while still in college. Due to my foreign education, my networking occurred elsewhere. However, because of this network effect, it seems most developers in the US only have to apply to one or two jobs throughout their career.
Am I handicapped by not having a professional network in the US?

The popular "Trunk or Treat" event that has been historically held at the First Baptist Church in Carmi will take on a new look in 2013 as the Carmi Ministerial Association (CMA) is taking over the community event and providing a new location. The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 31 along Robinson Street between Church and Jessup Streets in Carmi. Those planning to attend are asked to begin the line, which will form at the corner of Church and Robinson next to First United Methodist Church.
"The First Baptist Church has been hosting 'Trunk or Treat' for well over 10 years," said Luke Raczykowski, pastor at First Baptist Church in Carmi. "It is such a community wide event that it was decided to get all churches and the Carmi Ministerial Association involved. We hope for a lot of participation from the area churches. In years past, the event has attracted between 600 and 800 trick or treaters."
Raczykowski said the event is geared toward children 12 and under and cars will be parked diagonally along the street with their trunks open and ready to greet kids. Most that participate also decorate their trunks for Halloween to add to the atmosphere of "trick or treating."
"It's always a great time and we invite people to come out and enjoy it," said Raczykowski. "We hope area parents will bring their kids out dressed in costume for the event."
Raczykowski said if anyone would like to participate as a "trunk" in the event, they are asked to contact a member of CMA for details. Also, in case of inclement weather, one is asked to check with local media outlets on any updates or cancellations.
The CMA's "Trunk or Treat" ties in well with other activities in downtown Carmi for Halloween. Dave Matheny's State Farm Insurance office, located on the south side of East Main Street, will host a stop for trick or treaters and The Carmi Times will also host the second annual "Trick or Treat at the Times" from 4 until 6 p.m. Kids may stop by the office, located at 323 E. Main Street, and get some candy along with a photo, which will appear in the collage of Halloween pictures from the event.

I am having real trouble getting to the corrects answers when asked to simply Sum of products expressions. For instance:
Determine whether the left and right hand sides represent the same function:
a) $x_1\bar{x}_3+x_2x_3+\bar{x}_2\bar{x}_3 = (x_1+\bar{x}_2+x_3)(x_1+x_2+\bar{x}_3)(\bar{x}_1+x_2+\bar{x}_3)$
They answer is that they are equivalent. Here is my logic for solving the left hand side, I first expand so each term has 3 variables:
combining terms
$$\begin{align*} &=x_1x_2(\bar{x}_3+x_3)+(x_1+\bar{x}_1)\bar{x}_2\bar{x}_3+x_1\bar{x}_2\bar{x}_3\\ &=x_1x_2+\bar{x}_2\bar{x}_3+x_1\bar{x}_2\bar{x}_3 \end{align*}$$
Then if I apply De Morgan's law in order to get it in Product of sum form, I get nothing close to the equivalent of the right hand side.

I plan to visit Boston this year; I'm looking to hit up the historical sites, and trying to find a good guide of all of the sites. Is there one out there online, or a good one I can find or buy when I'm in the city, not including all of the tours they offer?
A good starting point is the Freedom Trail -- it's a nice primer on Boston history... They also offer walking tours, I believe. The trail includes:
Beyond that, depending on your interests there are numerous other options. You could visit the Cambridge University campus (easy ride on the metro), Fenway Park, Newbury Street (some typical Boston architecture, plus a decent choice of shopping & restaurants), etc.
The Celebrate Boston site is a good resource for what's happening in Boston and what's worth seeing. I know that you mentioned historic, but worth mentioning Arts Boston for additional arts-related listings.
Also, have a look at MassHome's Boston Page. Not very pretty, but has lots of links to different tourist sites in Boston.

@stephenandjennifer: Not sure why that link died. Here is a new one:
All I am doing is running a search for "Sansa" and listing the results.
Mine came to $27.99 with the code, and including free shipping. I'll pass. The second link didn't work for me, but was able to click on one, and it came to 39.99 (including a 10$ off instant), then took 12$ due to the code. I think I'll pass.
@rad rick: I can +1 the price, when I saw these the other day they came out to about $28, free shipping. And it's the cheapo DHL 4-7 day shipping, not the 3 day shipping.
However, I did pick up one of the 4GB Clip+'s. I've owned 5, maybe 6 Sansa refurbs, and after putting rockbox on them I loved them. I also found that they have better sound quality than the few smartphones I tried, including my current Galaxy S3. I figured I always carry around a pair of earbuds anyway, and the clip is fairly small. That, combined with the fact that I have the Galaxy for video, makes it perfect to toss a few songs on.
Edit: since Coondoggs other link doesn't work, try this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007633%2050001404&IsNodeId=1&name=SanDisk# The ones with the codes in green are the ones (s)he's referring to.
I am still waiting for my two from the last time.. they are lost in transit :( My sansas need a home!!! Newegg is working on getting me a replacement shipped... sigh
This link doesn't work.
Needs the # sign at the end:
Does anyone know how large of a micro-sdhc card the Sansa will accept?¿
and they have arrived!!!! YAY :)

If there's one thing that drives rock musicians to write music, more than any other subject, it's drugs (and lots of 'em). Shortly behind that, is sex, life on the road, different kinds of drugs, their own balls and how California is, like, totally fake and stuff. Before you get to the end of the list, though, you find good old fashioned revenge and mindfuckery, as was the case with some of these great (and not so great) rock albums.
#6. Having Fun With Elvis On Stage by. Elvis Presley
Elvis was a live-rocking legend. To this day, people pay good money to see Elvis impersonators. A concert tour has been arranged this very year in which old videos of the King will be projected on to a live stage while musicians play behind him simulating a real performance. If we're willing to resurrect him as a hologram just to get a small taste of what it was like to see Elvis live on stage, it stands to reason that an Elvis live album would be pretty awesome, right? Did you really answer "yes" to that question? Would we even bring it up if the answer was "yes"? Look alive for fuck's sake.
With Elvis, anything can happen.
In 1974, Elvis was smack in the middle of his most prolific touring years, while simultaneously touring the middle years of the prescription pill addiction that ultimately led to his death. It was during this time that his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was looking for something to sell to the crowds at his sold-out shows beyond the usual trinkets (fake sideburns, those big gold sunglasses, XXXXL sequined jumpsuits, the usual). He finally settled on putting together a live Elvis album. The problem with this plan was that Presley's record company, RCA records, owned the rights to all of the songs in his catalog. Releasing them would require paying royalties out the ass.
This is Colonel Tom Parker. He doesn't like to fuck around.
Fortunately for The Colonel's ass, Elvis was a touring machine, and there was enough recorded material to fill out an album without having to pay royalties. Unfortunately for everyone else's ass, this required the printing and distributing and an album without any actual music on it.
No music for you and Mr. Buttons, little Suzie!
For 37 agonizing minutes, purchasers of the album were forced to listen to the between-song prattle of an aging, drug-addled rocker; stammering stories, jokes with no context and aimless humming with not one single note of a real-live Elvis song anywhere to be heard. It was named the worst rock 'n roll record of all time in a book devoted to the subject, despite containing (and forgive us if we seem to be harping on about this) no actual music. Even Elvis himself came down from his pill-induced stupor long enough to be embarrassed by the very existence of this hunk of vinyl.
It also rose to #9 on the country music charts at the time. If the fact that Toby Keith has a career hasn't convinced you that country music fans will literally buy anything, that last sentence should.
#5. Self Portrait by. Bob Dylan
If our math is correct, the 60s had just barely ended by the time 1970 rolled around. Bob Dylan was pleasantly in the middle of his "get high out of my mind and write awesome music" phase, the famous Woodstock festival was still ingrained in recent memory and disco had not been invented yet. In short, it was a great time to be the voice of a nation, and, ostensibly, a particularly great time to have a fan base consisting entirely of hippies.
Unfortunately, there are some hidden downsides to being the voice of a generation that doesn't just listen to music, but, like, lives it man. They have no money for buying albums, and, according to Bob Dylan, they hang around your house all the time, presumably looking for any narcotic dander that shakes free as you tear by them on your motorcycle. Also, they smell like dirty hippies. Just like any other thinking person who finds their property inundated with lice infested flower children, Bob Dylan wanted them gone. To make that happen, he, of course, recorded an album.
This is what vengeance looks like.
At first, Dylan claimed to be shocked and appalled by the negative response to the double album, predominantly filled with cover songs that sounded more like outright parodies. However, in a 1985 Rolling Stone interview with Kurt Loder, he finally owned up to why he really wrote it: so that all those damned flower children would move on and find someone else to put on a pedestal. When Loder asked why he felt the need to make it "a double-album joke," Dylan pointed out that "if you're gonna put a lot of crap on it, you might as well load it up!"
We know that game.
The album, as planned, was widely panned by anyone who even walked past a record store that happened to be selling it. Dylan got exactly what he wanted: A pile of shit he could point to when people tried to call him the voice of a generation. If only Kurt Cobain had those kind of problem solving skills.
#4. Wish You Were Here by. Pink Floyd
A few years after founding member Syd Barrett lost his shit and left the group, Pink Floyd broke into the mainstream with a little LP called The Dark Side Of The Moon, the unofficial soundtrack for drug fueled viewings of The Wizard of Oz the world over. Because labels tend to think of recording artists as musical gumball machines, EMI did what record labels do best, pressuring Floyd to follow up their landmark achievement by making the exact same album. Eventually, the pressure became too intense. The band caved and recorded Wish You Were Here.
While the title track and its epic centerpiece, the two-part, 27-minute "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," celebrated the life and fall of Barrett, the rest of the album is a shit hot barb fired directly at the heart of greedy music industry executives. In an effort to drive this point home, the band recorded a video for "Welcome to the Machine" which depicts the artist-studio relationship with a delicate grace usually reserved for brutal genocide (you know, as opposed to the non-brutal kind):
Then there's the enigmatic line in "Have a Cigar," a tongue-in-cheek song told from the perspective of a greedy label manager who at one point says: "By the way, which one's Pink?" According to the band, this was a question actually asked of the group by saccharine managers who didn't understand that "Floyd, Pink" was not a person.
Topping off the album is the cover, picturing two businessmen shaking hands. One is calm and composed, looking confident that the deal being made is to his benefit; the other looking submissively downwards, almost groveling. Also, he's on fire. Subtle!

Emilie Cozette appointed Etoile
Posted 05 May 2007 - 01:44 PM
It seems to me though we're in for a world of boredom in Paris...
Posted 05 May 2007 - 03:09 PM
It's all in the title - Emilie Cozette was named an Etoile after tonight's performance of Cinderella, at the Palais Garnier. Congratulations are in order, I guess.
It seems to me though we're in for a world of boredom in Paris...
And here I thought I was going to get a scoop.....Azulynn beat me to it (congratulations to Azulynn as well as Ms. Cozette). Well, we stopped off for a bite to eat and had a long ride on the Metro.
It was very exciting to see Brigitte Lefevre come on stage and make the announcement, especially after waiting in line for nearly two hours, and being able to get only partial view seats (so I only saw about 1/2 of Cendrillon). I was very happy to see the Company for the first time in about 14 years, and though Noureev's (as they spell it here) choreography was not much to write home* about, the dancing was up to the POB standard, and that pleased me a great deal.
(*home is New York City Ballet.)

Posted 06 May 2007 - 09:05 AM
As far as I am concerned, I can't say I'm a big fan of her, though I really enjoyed her as Odette/Odile and Cinderella. Not minor roles in any way... That certainly means something about her abilities.
To tell it in a nutshell, I would say that her dancing is not particularly exciting. Except the roles I mentioned before, each time I saw her on stage, I couln't help feeling boredom and she didn't convince me. For instance, she recently performed roles such as Myrtha, Gamzatti, Queen of the Dryads or La Cigarette in Lifar "Suite en blanc", I found her rather disappointing and I especially did not appreciate her lack of lyricism. To be fair, we must admit she has a true elegance on stage and is really a good technician (in POB, that means a proper leg and foot work), two qualities that make her far superior to Eleonora Abbagnato, another première danseuse longing for a title.
This new appointment is probably disappointing to many, as there are certainly better (I mean more interesting artistically) "premières danseuses", especially the shiny Myriam Ould-Braham. Anyway, I really have nothing against her and if this appointment is not better (be aware I may be wrong!), it certainly is not worse than the ones that occured in recent years. People who were given the title are good soloists, even good first soloists (they reached the highest rank in hierarchy before becoming Etoile), nevertheless that does not mean they are true Etoiles in my view. Technic for instance is not enough, you also need a unique personality, and a special artistry to deserve the title (obviously in theory!). What is new with Emilie Cozette is that she is a solid dancer, very rarely injured, and that really sounds like an event among POB stars! :grinning-smiley-001:
Posted 06 May 2007 - 02:07 PM
Personally, I thought Ciaravola was the more dazzling of the two. Cozette made no impression on me whatsoever.
Emilie Cozette and Isabelle Ciaravola were the two demisoloists in Diamonds in the POB "Jewels" DVD. There isn't a photo of Cozette on the POB site, but from the photo of Ciaravola, I would guess she's the taller, lighter-haired of the two.
I wonder if this nomination isn't an attempt to find a height-compatible, long-limbed partner for Mathieu Ganio. What's the opinion of those who saw them together in Cinderella? Does the partnership work?
Posted 06 May 2007 - 10:23 PM
Caroline, the performance you're talking about was a dress rehearsal, she was not supposed to dance it, and I think we can't judge her on that performance. Personally, I attended her two other performances that were scheduled on May 3rd and 5th.
This is what I said Sophia:
I've seen her only once in Cendrillon but she danced when it was not foreseen she had to -in a substitution of Mrs. Aurélie Dupond-. To be honest she looked rather tired and her performance did not convince but I do not know enough about her to be able to say if from my point of view she deserves this honour or not.
In any case: Congratulations to Mrs. Emilie Cozette too!
I'm not so familiar with the ONP but as I've seen her on stage I wanted to congratulate her but also leaving my impressions.
Posted 07 May 2007 - 11:46 AM
Posted 08 May 2007 - 12:20 AM
Well, I share volcanohunter's opinion and I think that, in Diamonds, the most dazzling of the two soloists was Ciaravola. Cozette is, of course, elegant (which french ballerina is not elegant?), and may be she is a technician but, for me, an étoile must have more than this: personality, aura, appeal.
I am totally disappointed, but this is my point of view. What is happening to POB? I was very happy to see Ganio among the étoiles although he is very young, but I cannot understand the decisions that followed this one. What happens with Emmanuel Thibaut and Myriam Ould-Braham? Why, in another thread someone said that Mme. Lefèvre and her entourage are not FOR Thibaut?
Posted 08 May 2007 - 12:39 AM
It's exactly as if they chose to promote "mediocrity" rather than personality and artistry... People who were promoted in recent years are honest soloists or first soloists, certainly not principals.
Posted 08 May 2007 - 12:58 AM
Well, I can't say I expect much good from Ms Lefèvre in general, but each time she manages to disappoing me even more, either in terms of promotions or of repertory...
Posted 08 May 2007 - 01:29 AM
I completely share your opinion about Thibault and Ould-Braham (no possible comparison with Cozette in any way) who are true stars actually, most appreciated by the audience. But these two are first and foremost (not to say only) classical dancers. That's a reason why they are not the favorites of the management...
It's exactly as if they chose to promote "mediocrity" rather than personality and artistry... People who were promoted in recent years are honest soloists or first soloists, certainly not principals.
Sarkozy held in his political program that he will be for MERIT. Let see if he fulfills his promises...
Sorry for mentioning politics, but some decissions are just not fair.

Probation ordered in domestic case
STEUBENVILLE - Ajani N. Lawrence, 33, of 707 Market St. was placed on one year of probation on Friday by Jefferson County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr. after pleading guilty to felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor domestic violence.
Lawrence was indicted in September on a felony charge of felonious assault. The county prosecutor's office dismissed that charge and filed a bill of information charging him with aggravated assault and domestic violence.
Lawrence was charged with assaulting a woman on July 21 in an apartment on Two Ridge Road, Wintersville.
He faces up to 18 months in prison if he violates probation.
City man sentenced in drug, gun cases
STEUBENVILLE - Robert L. Banks, 28, of Steubenville was sentenced to six months in the Eastern Ohio Correction Center on Friday by Jefferson County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr. after pleading guilty to drug and gun charges.
Banks pleaded guilty to trafficking in crack cocaine, which occurred in November 2010. He wasn't arrested on the indictment until September 2012. He was arraigned on Sept. 12 and released on his own recognizance.
Banks was arrested on Sept. 21 by City Police after allegedly threatening a person with a gun in the 300 block of Lawson Avenue. Police reported seeing Banks exiting a vehicle and he was arrested trying to enter a home. Officers reported finding a loaded handgun in a bag under the seat of the vehicle.
Banks will be on probation for two years after his release from the Eastern Ohio Correction Center. He faces up to six years in prison if he violates probation.
WSX Management Club to meet
WEIRTON - The Weirton Steel Managment Club will meet at 5:30 p.m. on Monday at Giovanni's Restaurant (former Gio's Family Restaurant) in the banquet room.
All members and former members are invited to attend the dinner and social time.
Cera named to house committee
COLUMBUS - State Rep. Jack Cera, D-Bellaire, will serve as the ranking member of the Ohio House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee and will help to lead the Democratic Caucus on issues coming before the legislative panel.
Cera said he requested the assignment, citing his experience on the committee during his previous tenure in the Ohio legislature.
According to Cera, legislation that affects the industries and communities associated with the production of oil and gas will also come before this committee.
"As the ranking member on the committee, I am committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to create public policy that protects Ohioans and that moves us forward in the production of energy and agriculture. I enjoy working with Dave Hall, R-Millersburg, the chairman of the committee, and I am eager for the committee process to begin," said Cera.
Cera will also serve on the public utilities and policy and legislative oversight committees.
Road work announced
The West Virginia Division of Highways has announced minor road work that is scheduled to be performed next week, pending suitable weather.
In Hancock County, crews will be patching Pennsylvania Avenue and stabilizing shoulders along U.S. Route 30.
In Brooke County, crews will be patching U.S. Route 22, sealing Cross Creek Road and clearing ditches along state Route 2.
Gentile calls for delay in plans
COLUMBUS - State Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, has expressed his objection to a recent announcement to consolidate several Ohio Department of Job and Family Services unemployment claims call and processing centers.
Among the major offices scheduled to be closed is The Plains facility, located in Athens County, and the Bridgeport office in Belmont County.
"The workers and families in Southeast Ohio are who I am most concerned about during this consolidation process. A consolidation of this magnitude has many more negative implications on the workers and the quality of service that will be provided to the people in my district," Gentile said.
"There are multiple factors that call for delaying this consolidation. The Ohio Civil Service Employee Association representatives did not have the opportunity to weigh in on this decision that will affect over 500 Job and Family Services employees across the state. The employees in my district affected by this consolidation will have a much longer commute, additional travel related costs and possibly less safe working conditions. It is important that all parties are involved in the discussion to avoid negative future consequences," said Gentile.
Utility assistance now available
WEIRTON - C.H.A.N.G.E. Inc. is accepting applications for the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resource's Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program through Friday.
Applications can be completed on the third floor of the community action agency's office at 3136 West St. Applicants should bring a copy of residents' current heating bill and proof of income.
For information, call (304) 797-7733.

How much flavor variation exists for 2-row malted barley from different malsters? For example, how different is 2-row malt from Rahr, Briess, Canada Malting, Malteurop other than price?
There is a large difference in flavor between maltsters in my experience. Which you prefer is subjective and as pointed out, needs to be determined by experience. My preference is Rahr, followed closely by Great Western.
I've been listening to Basic Brewing a lot lately & a common theme I've picked up there is that small batch experimentation is the best way to answer these questions.
As the others have said, brew up a 1/2 or 1 gallon wort using each malt and ferment in the same location/temp using the same yeast for the same time & taste the result. Bring friends too, taste is as subjective as olympic gymnastics so you'll need a panel.

On Saturday, July 26, Session Americana will perform at Sandywoods Center for the Arts.
Session Americana is a loose collective of ace Boston musicians who thrive on spontaneity and relish the live arena. The format of a Session Americana show is roughly based on the traditional Irish Session. The band's repertoire includes much original material, but the group also blends in songs from across the spectrum of popular music, from American Country to Irish Folk to straight Pop. The band's sound, though rooted very deeply in Americana, is artful and contemporary. Their 2012 release "Love and Dirt" was named one of Boston's top 40 pop/rock albums ever.
Sandywoods is located at 43 Muse Way, Tiverton, RI, 8 p.m., doors open 7:30 p.m. BYOB & BYOF (food) $12 advance, $15 at the door. Part of the Celebrate Tiverton! Summer festival.
Reserve advance tickets by calling 401-241-7349. Leave message with your name and number of tickets desired. You'll pay the advance price at the door. www.sandywoodsmusic.com

Operator Control and Subscriber Convenience
PAL D1 addressable analog set-tops from Scientific Atlanta, a Cisco company, provide excellent ease of use, deployment operation and maintenance to video network operators in countries where the PAL D1 standard is used. At the same time, subscribers benefit from capabilities that include:
- The ability to choose to view on-screen displays and menus in either Polish or English.
- Easy navigation through menu choices, using a remote control or set-top key panel.
- Automatic, on-screen pay per view event confirmation, listing events by channel, event number and event description. This reduces time-consuming telephone calls to the cable operator in order to confirm an order.
- Clear, graphic display of volume and mute setting status, virtually eliminating any subscriber confusion over volume settings.
- An 8-event, 14-day program timer, to aid unattended VCR recording of premium programming.
- Optional one-touch purchasing of pay-per-view events from either the remote control or the set-top key panel.
- Parental control capabilities so subscribers decide what programming their families may watch.
- The ability to create a list of up to 128 favorite channels for easy scanning, selection and review.
- A sleep timer that turns off the set-top after 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, as designated by the subscriber.
- The optional ability watch one unscrambled program while recording another.
At the same time, operators get an easy-to-use on-screen Welcome Barker to reinforce brand identity and marketing messages, as well as other on-screen messages that appear, for instance, when a subscriber tunes to a channel to which he doesn't have access. Equally important, operators can create and send messages to one or more home terminals to communicate about cable system promotions, past-due reminders, public service announcements, and targeted advertising.
Scientific Atlanta's PAL D1 addressable analog set-tops also include optimum security. Dynamic video baseband and RF sync suppression scrambling techniques protect premium and PPV channels from theft of service. Signal security is further enhanced through the use of "in-band" conditional access. And provisioning transactions are transmitted as part of the program signal, making it virtually impossible to block network control transactions to the terminal.

I ran into a "well-known identity" on page 345 of Shepp and Lloyd's On ordered cycle lengths in a random permutation: $$\int_x^{\infty} \frac{\exp(-y)}y dy = \int_0^x \frac{1-\exp(-y)}y dy - \log x - \gamma, $$ where $\gamma$ is the Euler constant. I am clueless as to how it is derived. Any reference to the derivation of such formulae would suffice, but an explicit solution will also be appreciated.
You can apply WZ theory to such identities. In particular, both sides satisfy $$x*z''(x) + (x+1)z'(x)$$ Picking $x=1$ as the initial condition (since the DE is regular there, that helps), we see that both sides evaluate to $Ei(1,1)$ and their derivatives both evaluate to $-1/e$, so they are equal.
I got that differential equation using Maple's PDEtools[dpolyform] function, which uses Groebner bases over differential polynomials to 'solve' this problem. All the rest is classical analysis (as in A course of modern analysis by Whittaker and Watson, 1926 - which is unfortunately not material that is taught very much anymore, I certainly had to learn a lot of that 'on my own').
[Edit: fixed an error in the evaluation of the derivative, I pasted in the wrong line]
This identity appears on the Wikipedia page for the "exponential integral": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_integral#Definition_by_Ein
I imagine you can get it by integrating the Taylor series and playing around. Wikipedia, and several other places on the web, point to the book by Abramovitz and Stegun.
So one of the approaches to proving the equality in the question is via the following three steps: First differentiate both sides of the equation to see that they agree up to a constant. This reduces to showing the case of $x = 1$, for which $\log x = 0$.
Next we apply integration by parts to get $$ \int_1^{\infty} \exp(-y)/y dy - \int_0^1 \frac{1-\exp(-y)}{y}dy = \int_0^{\infty} \exp(-y) \log y dy $$
Finally observe that $\Gamma'(1)$ equals the RHS, by differentiating under the integral sign, valid because things are decaying fast enough at infinity.
So it remains to show $\Gamma'(1) =\gamma$. I saw a soft argument (i.e., without using infinite product) in the link scipp.ucsc.edu/~haber/ph116A/psifun_10.pdf This is re-exposed below:
first we establish that for $\Psi(x) = \log \Gamma(x)$, $$ \Psi'(x+1) = \Psi'(x) + 1/x $$ This is easy enough since we have we have the functional equation $\Gamma(x+1) = x\Gamma(x)$. Next using stirling approximation we get
$$ \Psi(x+1) = (x+1/2)\log x -x + 1/2 \log 2 \pi + O(1/x) $$ and then they differentiate this and claim that $O(1/x)' = O(1/x^2)$, which is clearly false (take $f(x) = 1/x cos(e^x)$). But I found in Wikipedia another formula that gives the precise error term in terms of an integral of the monotone function $arctan(1/x)$. So this is enough to establish $O(1/x^2)$ for the error term in the derivative of $\Psi$. So we get the asymptotics $\lim_{x \to \infty} \Psi'(x+1) = \log(x)$, from which we get $\Psi'(1) = \gamma$. Now notice $\Psi'(x) = \Gamma'(x)/ \Gamma(x)$, and $\Gamma(1) = 1$, so $\Gamma'(1) = \gamma$ also.
