Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
How was your Christmas? We sure hope you were able to give all the gifts you wanted to, as well as have all the good times possible. The longest nights of the season are behind us, so we're looking forward to longer days. What are you looking forward to as we end the year, locals?
- If you're looking forward keeping your New Years resolutions, we commend you. But if you're anticipating having some trouble, you might want to check out this post on Fort Greene Patch, detailing some ways to stick to your goals. We think the initial advice, to make the resolution attainable, is particularly wise.
- One local gave some New Years resolution advice to change childrens' lives. The photo of a child playing in Fort Greene Park features a caption that urges parents to bring their children outside to play more, giving them a break from computers, video games and television. What New Years advice do you have for your neighbors?
- A two-alarm fire damaged part of the Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew in Clinton Hill two days before Christmas, CBS New York reported. The fire forced the church to close until Christmas eve, but Occupy Sandy tweeted that volunteers won't let burned doors bring them down. You can start donating items to the Hurricane Sandy recovery effort again starting on Dec. 27, according to the Occupy Sandy Web site.

The actual Versign web page for PIP appears to be down: https://pip.verisignlabs.com/. Does anyone know if this service is going away from Verisign? Or is the Verisign site down?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
I too use Verisign PIP. I didn't receive any notice they were discontinuing the service, so I assume this is a temporary outage.
From the informational PDF about PIP:
Apparently they're aware of the issue. The site now says:
There may have been an outage but it appears to be up now:
This was posted on @VeriSign on Tweeter several hours ago (~10:30 EDT?)
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any other info about how much longer or the specific reason for the outage. I choose Verisign over MyOpenId - I was thinking it would be more reliable. Now I'm very concerned now about the length and the lack of communication about this Verisign outage.
If you're not already using it, consider using OpenID delegation to hopefully ease changing providers, if necessary (knock on wood).

A student asked me this the other day and I thought that I would ask it again here. If one organism is said to be "more evolved" than another, what exactly does this mean?
"More evolved" is actually meaningless in all contexts. See terdon's answer for a good explanation.
In the strictest sense, an organism can be said to be more divergent than another when comparing both to an outgroup, such that there is an inferred most common ancestor in reference to which to make the comparison. In this case, one organism is more divergent if there are more changes to this organism than the other, relative to the reference point.
However, when speaking, many people get lazy, and use "more evolved" as shorthand, wishing it to mean something like "more divergent". Even "more divergent" is meaningless in the following contexts:
Edited 2013/12/06 to reflect the precision in the answer by terdon.
I cannot improve on Thomas Ingalls' description of when "more evolved" is appropriately used, but the inappropriate/lazy use of the phrase is so prevalent that it deserves further comment. In my experience, the most common use of the phrase "more evolved" is when describing the increased complexity of one organism versus another. This usage is not just meaningless, but wrong and harmful, and springs from a misunderstanding of what evolution implies. Evolution is emphatically not the same as increased complexity.
I try to avoid saying "more evolved" and tend to favor "more complex", "less simple" or "less primitive." "Primitive" has its own problems, since it sometimes brings with it the connotation of evolution (a "primitive eye" or "primitive nervous system" are common phrases), but it at least avoids an explicit misuse of "evolved."
There is no such thing as more or less evolved. At least not outside popular media. The only reasonable comparison one can make is comparing generation numbers. You could say that a species that has undergone X generations is less evolved than one that has undergone X*2 generations. It just doesn't mean much.
Evolved is not a quantitative term, you cannot really be more or less evolved than something else.
It is a phrase in common parlance without scientific meaning, fitting in the same category as devolved or devolution. It is as @terdon said:
In a scientific context you should always find the evolutionary measure in question and the methods for quantifying that measure.
In a biological context the phrase would fail to find meaning, when evolution is a function of fitness. In such context fitness is inevitably tied to environmental parameters. The more complex these parameters, the more niches may be available for potential species, with temperature being one of the strongest factors (See: Effective evolutionary time Hypothesis ). Take this assertion with the necessary caution, as it is far outside my expertise.
Mostly I have come across the phrase more evolved in reference to large, tangible species, and also in science fiction.
Tell your student, to always be aware that in the end the unicellular species make life for us on this planet viable - we coevolved. But they also eventually consume/recycle us in one way or another, and surely will outlast us. It takes extreme effort and finesse for a large, energetic multicellular host to obtain, maintain and retain its niche on this planet. In all of the field of molecular biology there is nothing quite like Immunology.
For a mind experiment, let the student imagine soil with different pH, of the same plant species which equal seeding-times.
The outcome may be something as shown below. The phrase "more evolved" clearly fails to describe such a scenario of one generation of plant species, and hence is not suitable in an objective description of evolution.
Sidenote: Al3+-ions are toxic to plants, stuning root growth and phosphate intake. With increased pH, more aluminum dissolves.
I have mostly seen it used to mean "possessing features that appeared most recently in the historical evolutionary record". Thus a human is considered more evolved than a chimp because our bipedality, hairlessness and large brain appeared more recently than the features of chimps, and a chimp is more evolved than a fish because fish very similar to ones alive today appear in the record before anything resembling an ape, and so on.
I think it's pretty poor use of language, frankly, since it suggests linearity and ordering to evolution that is simply not there, conflates gross morphological change with change in general and incorrectly implies that stabilising selection is not evolution.

The weight of the Steubenville juvenile rape trial rests on three young lives that were irrevocably changed in a night of out-of-control teen partying last August....
I am a 73 year from Steubenville and these parties have been going on since I was a kid.When and if one graduated he or she had many drinking parties to attend and to the best of my knowledge no one got RAPED.Sorry Steubenville you got along hard road ahead.

Lawyers looking for loopholes in a case such as this are part of the problem. They should look the boys straight in the eye and say the evidence is too overwhelming and BTW why did you boys feel a need to rape the young woman?
Rape is rape no matter what. The young men know right from wrong and they know what they did was wrong.
These young men should be man enough to accept responsibility for their actions instead of parents trying to buy out the system. The young men will learn one thing from the buyout process..... "no matter what I do Mother and Father will cover for me no matter the expense" .
When did they learn not to give a damn?

"The reality is that the mistakes of youth no longer allow for parents giving children enough room to make a mistake or two before reeling them back in."
I see the word "mistake" used over and over for what should be called a crime. The rapists did not make mistakes. They intentionally committed crimes against Jane Doe. The girls who threatened the victim on the internet did not make mistakes. They intentionally wrote harmful messages to scare her. The teens and the coach who witnessed or were told about the crimes did not make mistakes. They intentionally kept quiet because they didn't want to be involved or were more interested in football scores than in justice.

Mr Gallabrese, Thank you for the editorial re: the Steubenville "situation" that has gained international attention. It's been a long time coming, but appreciated. You did a decent, fair job in covering it well. Especially appreciate you noting not only the frightening irrespsonsibility on part of the kids who did nothing and the parents who were "where??" while these alcohol/drug fuel parties have been going on. Realizing teenagers aren't reading any news, let us hope and pray that parents will pay more attention to their children's activities other than just showing up at every athletic event they may be involved in. If the generations of the self absorbed, self indulgent, I want what I want when I want it folks ages 3-43 ( My own observation) do not wake up soon to see that they are not not the center of the Universe, we are truely lost, not only in this community, the entire country and western civilization. Again, thank you and God bless you for addressing thi

Does anyone in Tanach ever get divorced? Not merely separated but fully divorced.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
1) Didnt Moshe Rabbeinu get divorced from Zipporah? See Rashi Bamidar 12:1,
2) Pirkei d'Rabbi Eliezer (chapter 30) brings down the following story that records that Yishmael divorced his wife.
3) (Sotah 12:a) is Amram who divorced Yocheved before remarrying her upon Miriam's advice. In fact, the Gemoro relates that the whole nation followed suit and divorced their wives. (Albeit, they [including Amram] all remarried soon after!)
4) King David's wife Queen Batsheva was previously married to Uriah. Uriah wrote a Get to her before he went to war so she should not be an Agunah if he were not to return. This Get came into effect at Uriah's demise, itself brought about by the King. (Kesubos 9:b)
The only divorce I can find in Tanach al pi peshat is Avraham's divorcing Hagar. The verse (Genesis 21:10) says:
The word used is גרש which is the word used for divorce generally in Tanach (eg. Leviticus 22:13) and it seems to be the peshat here because we never hear of Hagar again.
For what it's worth, pseudo-Jonathon explicitly interprets the verse: ופטרה בגיטא - and he exempted her with a document.
Hashem told Hoshea to get divorced
Adam was given a get like a woman (Bereishis 3:24 - Vayegaresh Et HaAdam, literally "and He (God) divorced the man") Opening of Tana D'bei eliyahu
This probably has kabalistic meanings

The January 2009 issue of Health Care News reports on a measure introduced by Congressman Sam Johnson to allow senior citizens to opt out of Medicare and still receive Social Security benefits. We also report on page 1 that voters in Maine repealed a tax increase aimed at increasing funding for Dirigo Care.
Among this issue's other top stories:
* State and federal spending on Medicaid will nearly double in the next decade, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—and analysts say those projections may underestimate the problem.
* The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to rule whether states can overturn Food and Drug Administration decisions. At stake: drug innovation and availability.
* A new study confirms private-sector drug research is helping improve Americans' health, which is increasingly important as the nation's population ages.
* The push to import cheap prescription drugs from other countries is increasing the danger of consumers getting weak, false, or tainted drugs while unwittingly helping finance international terrorism.
* An experimental effort allowing Florida Medicaid recipients to pick their health plan from a variety of private insurers may soon be expanded from five test counties to 20 additional ones. The program has received mixed reviews.

Gluten Intolerance
Navigation : SuperLiving > Health > Health Problems > Immune System > Food Allergy & INtolerance >
Gluten Intolerance & Coeliac Disease
Gluten intolerance is a sensitivity to gluten rather than a full blown allergic reaction. This has been widely recognised by complementary practitioners for a long time, but the medical establishment has not recognised this condition. However, estimates of up to 50% of the population are thought to be gluten sensitive, which can produce a wide variety of symptoms, which conventional medical practice finds difficult to treat, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Newer research is now showing that this condition does have some medical justification, and is not based on anecdotal evidence.
Many people find that removing gluten from their diet improves some medical conditions, and some leading US complementary doctors estimate that two thirds of their patients benefit from eliminating gluten from their diet. Sensitivity to gluten produces inflammation of the lining of the gut which then does not work properly. The gut wall can leak and let partially digested food products into the body (Leaky Gut Syndrome). These food products can cause all sorts of allergic reactions, causing a wide spectrum of health problems, including joint problems and autoimmune reactions, including thyroid problems. Wheat from the US seems to cause particular problems, as it has been bread for a high gluten content, and European wheat appears to have a lower content.
"Gluten sensitivity can be primarily and at times exclusively a neurological disease, affecting not only the brain and nervous system directly, but also cognitive and psychiatric illness". - Journal of Neurology (2001)
Gluten intolerance can be be tested for, but such tests are not available on the NHS and you will have to do them yourself. We recommend the York Test home test kit to do this.
Gluten free foods which can be used as alternatives to wheat include rice, corn, quinoa, soy and amaranth seed. Specially prepared gluten free foods are available from pharmacies, and increasingly from supermarkets.
Coeliac disease is a full allergic response to gluten, and is a serious medical condition affecting about 1% of the population. There are specific medical criteria to diagnose it, and it should be diagnosed by your doctor.

Plans are underway to convert the Prince Muhammad bin Abdulaziz Airport in Madinah into an international airport. There are also 24 regional and local airports.
Saudi Arabia's national airline, Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAA), started out in 1945 with the gift of a single twin-engine DC-3 Dakota from President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The airline now has a fleet of around 140 aircraft with flights to cities within Saudi Arabia and around the world. It continues to expand its fleet, recently purchasing 15 regional aircraft from the Brazilian company Embraer.
Saudi Arabian Airlines carries around 15 million passengers annually, one third of them international flights. Almost half of SAA's 2,000 pilots are Saudi.
Saudi Arabia has made a special effort to expand its air transport facilities to accommodate the some two million Muslim pilgrims to come to the Kingdom each year.
The King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah is a center for pilgrims arriving for the hajj and has a dedicated pilgrim terminal. Plans are underway to expand the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to include another Hajj terminal, and to build an additional runway and terminals at the Madinah airport.
In addition, Saudi Arabian Airlines runs extra flights during the hajj to accommodate the large number of pilgrims who travel to the Kingdom by air.

Single Dose Pegfilgrastin (SD/01) Is as Effective as Daily Filgrastim Following ESHAP Chemotherapy for Subjects wtih Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Hodgkin's Disease: Results of a Randomized, Open-Label Study
Reviewer: Mary Kara Bucci, MD
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: December 11, 2001
Presenter: Julie M. Vose
Presenter's Affiliation: University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE
Type of Session: Scientific
Pegfilgrastim is a pegylated form of filgrastim that has previously been shown to safely and effictively improve neutrophil counts and decrease neutropenia-related complications in patients receiving chemotherapy. In this randomized, open-label Phase II study, single dose pegfilgrastin is directly compared to daily injections of filgrastim to evaluate safety and efficacy following ESHAP chemotherapy in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's Disease (HD).
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The possibility of a single injection per chemotherapy cycle as opposed to multiple injections is advantageous for many reasons, including compliance and quality of life. Large, Phase III studies are needed to verify the findings from this study.

It's their money to do with as they choose, and they give to many others as well. They could probably give more if their tax burden was reduced. If you think you'd be a better exec go to school and get the education required for the job, work your way up through the company, and put your livelihood on the line for the types of decisions you will have to make. Water and air? Even the EPA can't prove that fracking has a negative environmental impact. Nobody is forcing anybody to roughneck; in fact, the industry is providing jobs with which unskilled laborers can raise families. These laborers include those laid off from union mills. The laborers don't want back into that mess.

Is it just for controlling the permissions of the script being called or does it also effect when or if the script runs? I assume if I setup a cron for a non-root user it should always run, even if I haven't logged in as that user since reboot, right?
Remember that Unix was originally designed as a multi-user system, where multiple people were using the same physical computer. (Unlike today, where most Unix systems are used by only one person, and multiple user accounts are just to limit vulnerabilities.)
So the original reason for per-user crontabs was so that each person could schedule jobs they wanted run periodically (without giving them permissions to edit the system crontab, and thus interfere with other people's jobs). But now, it's primarily just to control the permissions of the jobs being run.
So yes, once a crontab is saved, the jobs will run whether or not that user is logged in (or has ever logged in). The main cron daemon runs the per-user crontabs as well as the system crontab.
Also note that jobs in non-root crontabs will be executed as that user. Whereas in
Basically, it allows an unprivileged user to have cron jobs. And yes, you will want cron jobs if you want regular things done. And yes, it will persist across reboots.
at/batch provides similar facilities if you don't want "periodically forever" semantics.

Recently I tried to learn class field theory, but I find it is difficult. I have read the book "Algebraic Number Theory" by J. W. S. Cassels and A. Frohlich. In the book, the approach to class field theory is cohomology of groups. Although I have learned cohomology of groups, I find that those theorems in the book are complicated and can not form a system. I'm wondering what are people's opinions of the book above, can you give me some suggestions on learning class field theory, and could you recommend some good books on class field theory?
When you are first learning class field theory, it helps to start by getting some idea of what the fuss is about. I am not sure if you have already gotten past this stage, but if not, I recommend B. F. Wyman's article "What is a Reciprocity Law?" in the American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 79, No. 6 (Jun. - Jul., 1972), pp. 571-586. I also highly recommend David Cox's book Primes of the Form $x^2 + ny^2$ (mentioned by Daniel Larsson). Cox's book will show you what class field theory is good for and will get you to the statements of the main theorems quickly in a very accessible way. (You can safely skim through most the earlier sections of the book if your goal is to get to the class field theory section quickly.) As a bonus, the book will also give you an introduction to complex multiplication on elliptic curves.
However, Cox's book does not prove the main theorems of class field theory. You will need to look elsewhere for the proofs. There are several different approaches and someone else's favorite book may be unappealing to you and vice versa. You will have to dip into several different books and see which approach appeals to you. One book that has not been mentioned yet is Serge Lang's Algebraic Number Theory. Even if you ultimately choose not to use Lang's book as your main text, there is a short essay by Lang in that book, summarizing the different approaches to class field theory, that is worth its weight in gold.
The obvious answers for beginners, bound to come up at some point, are:
Besides these the notes by Milne mentioned in the comments above are really excellent, as is the approach by Neukirch (as is given in his book "Algebraic Number Theory") even though this is rather abstract.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Algebraic Number Fields by Janusz. This is the most down-to-earth book I know which presents a complete proof of the theorems of global class field theory and which is relatively clear and well-written. The beginning of the book describes the basic theory of algebraic number fields, and the book finishes with class field theory. The proofs use a small amount of group cohomology (you should be fine) and use the original, analytic method to prove the First (or Second depending on the author) Fundamental Inequality.
The formulation of the theorems is the more elementary one using ideal theory (as opposed to Childress, which uses ideles). Once you have learned the ideal-theoretic proofs, you might want to read this article. The idele-theoretic versions of the main theorems may be easily derived from the ideal-theoretic ones.
Unlike the book by Cox mentioned above, Janusz's book contains complete proofs of all the theorems. But, as someone who shares your distaste for Cassels-Frohlich, I think Janusz is fairly easy to follow (that doesn't mean the proofs of class field theory are easy, though!).
You also might find this thread to be of some use.
Among the few books on class field theory I tried to read, Weil's Basic Number Theory is the one I found most accessible. By far.
Perhaps the article Class field theory summarized (Rocky Mt. J. Math. 11, 195-225 (1981)) by Dennis Garbanati should be contained in such a list as a very accessible introduction. For those who can read German, both Hasse's Marburg lectures and Deuring's notes from Goettingen are excellent. Neukirch's cohomological approach (Klassenkoerpertheorie in regenbogen's list) will be translated into English this year.
Edit: I am a little bit reluctant to put this link here as I can't access this web page anymore; but a couple of links are still working, and google will probably find the rest.
Algebraic Number Theory by Neukirch is a good one for first learner. I've read Janusz's book, it's also very good. However some treatment in Janusz's book on algebra is not so careful, you could read Zariski's Commutative Algebra to find better explanations.
If all you need is the major statements from CFT with a few examples, check out the appendix in Lawrence Washington's "Introduction to Cyclotomic Fields" for a speedy overview of both local and global class field theory. It's not big on exposition, and you won't learn the proofs, but it's short and not time-consuming to read. You can then see some applications of the theory in chapter 11 of the same book.
There is also an older book of Neukirch on Class Field Theory: http://www.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de/~schmidt/Neukirch/index.html
An English translation will appear soon.
Edit: It has appeared: http://www.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de/~schmidt/Neukirch-en/index-de.html
For local class field theory, there is Local Fields and Their Extensions by I. B. Fesenko and S. V. Vostokov: https://www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk/personal/ibf/book/book.html
And "Class Field Theory: From Theory to Practice" by Georges Gras.

After running the blog JustGQ.com, former University of Louisville football player Joshua McDonald partnered with Ashley Lyons and James Doaty of Rezint Clothing to launch the neckwear and accessory line, Debonair Bowties, last April. Following in Ralph Lauren's footsteps by selling ties and pocket squares, Debonair is looking to expand online and throughout the region a become a fashion icon, too.
What is your fashion view?
I think fashion is a personal extension of who we are as people. You can use it to speak for you so that you don't have to say a word to send a message. Personally, I like to stand out, and I pride myself on being an individual and not (being) negatively influenced by the masses.
How would you describe your style?
I lean more to the preppy style, but I'm very steadfast and consistent in what I wear. I'm not very influenced by trends a whole lot. What I wear is what I wear. I'm cheap by nature, so I would say a preppy-cheap-chic.
What are your favorite pieces?
Obviously the bow ties. As far as shoes go, I firmly believe in a nice pair of brown loafers. I stopped wearing tennis shoes recreationally around '08.
Where do you like to shop?
Boutiques. Our ties and pocket squares are sold at Revelry Boutique Gallery off of Barrett Avenue. … It was a very easy fit because that's where you get things that everybody isn't going to have.
Who is your fashion icon and why?
Kanye West. (Matt Bomer's character) Neal Caffrey on "White Collar" and (Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams) on "Suits."
What kind of man can rock a bow tie?
I think that you need to be a very headstrong individual who's very secure within himself. In addition to being a confident man, it takes a smooth character to wear a bow tie.

I want to give players the ability to create and share bullet patterns for a shoot'em up.
The pattern scripts should have all the common programming stuff like loops, if/else, variables, and so on.
But in the end, I just want them to call a "spawn bullet at X, Y with Z angle and A speed" in the C++ game.
To spawn a circle of bullets, the user should only have to write a script with a for loop that goes from 0 to 360 and calls the spawn bullet function on every iteration.
I tried integrating AngelScript, but I am getting nowhere - it looks way to complex for a simple task like this one.
Is there an easy to integrate library that can solve my problem? Thanks.

There are many sites about No Limit Texas Hold'em. What are the best for learning No Limit Texas Hold'em? Please separate your recomended sites for newbie, medium and advanced level players (or write which sites are good for every level). Please suggest both free and pay sites.
Before I start, let me say that if you are from outside the US I would definitely take advantage of sites that offer rake-based-membership. In the US, we have DragTheBar, which offers free membership based on the rake taken from your hands at Carbon Poker.
I would even go a step further and say try every single site that offers a free trial. Stagger them (start a new trial as the other ends) and you'll be set for months. Just make sure to cancel before the trial expires.
Note: Because I'm a beginner, I will only offer recommendations for the beginner levels. My current game is Cash, 4-tabling 6Max 5NL. If you play Tournaments (MTT, SnG) then you'll want sites geared for those as well.
Generally, you should be playing the micros (2NL-50NL). Because of this, you'll want to focus on sites who also focus on the micros. And while there are plenty of sites that focus on beginners, you really want to focus on micros.
Training Site - Drag the Bar
If for any other reason, check Drag the Bar because BlackRain79 is a coach there. He was (is?) the #1 micro stakes player in the world in terms of ridiculous volume and profit. The coaches there are great and in my narrow experience, seem to be far more prepared than on other sites.
Community - CardsChat
As a beginner you'll be slammed with too much information anyways, so it's important that the information is as easily accessible as possible (and easy to ask). TwoPlusTwo is in the top 3 thousand sites visited in the US. That's huge, but in my opinion it's too huge. Unless I land on 2p2 through Google, it's just too intimidating for the beginner [me].
CardsChat is simple - all the top level forums can almost fit on a single screen! I'm only just now breaking out of my social-shell, but once I get a certain number of posts I'll also be eligible for their Freeroll tournaments...and you can too.
Their strategy articles are also well organized and will get you competently playing in an afternoon.
Runner Ups
Training Sites
This doesn't answer your question (beginner to advance), but it was too long to leave as a comment so there you go :)
TwoPlusTwo poker forums. Nothing else.
I highly recommend the following collection of forum posts / articles. These are the finest writings about the basics and more advanced concepts of the game, these will put you lightyears ahead of micro / small stakes competition. I remember when i first came by this around 2008, I got so hooked :) Have fun!
I am actually a long time coach at the first site linked above, DragTheBar. While I have been on a hiatus (not making videos) for awhile I would definitely recommend it as it has one of the deepest libraries of any training site online and is also now mostly or all free, I believe. Hard to beat that.
There are many good forums out there, some of which were also listed above such as TwoPlusTwo and CardsChat. However, since anybody on earth can say anything in these places, and most people lose at poker in the long run, often the advice that you are receiving is not so great (it is from a losing poker player).
Lastly, I like to think that my own website is one of the best resources for a beginner level poker player in the world. I have some of the highest winnings of all time in lower stakes cash games online, so you can be assured that the information you are getting is on point. And yes, it is totally free. www.blackrain79.com
I strongly recommend reading all the Doyle Brunson articles from his website . In this wonderful collection of articles, Brunson talks about limit & no-limit hold 'em, when to call, raise and fold.
"How To Play" section of WSOP is another great resource worth spending time on.
pokerstrategy.com is GOLD. They have many articles covering different topics and parts of online poker. Also they do classes, so they stream screen of lecturer and you can directly ask the lecturer about his play. It is really best way to jump into poker right from the start.
(My referal link: http://cs.pokerstrategy.com/#referrer=asketak )
forumserver.twoplustwo.com is another great server with long history and a lot of content. It is little bit less newbie friendly. As newbie, you can not easily realize, which topics and posts relate to you and who speaks great thoughts and who speaks nonsense. As you get better at fundamentals, you can find some gems, that can push your edge. A lot of the topics here discuss really advanced concepts and so even pro players have sometimes different answers.
If you want to try a tool where you can actually practice poker and get immediate feedback on your results, you should try: http://www.poker-fighter.com .
Alec Torelli has a great insight into the game. He has a great YouTube channel that does a lot of strategy analysis. The way he breaks down tricky hands explaining what has/should have happened is outstanding. The channel leans toward medium/advanced players. Here is the link:

I downloaded the Flowmapper plugin for Qgis and I can't seem to find any information on how it is supposed to work...
Also the text seems to cut-off and not fully showing for the input fields so I'm not quite sure what the fields should be anyway...
Here is an example of what I mean:
I tried to select a file storing my node coordinates but am not allowed to (greyed-out) pick files that are .csv, .dbf, .shp or seemingly any of the filetypes on my computer... Which is why I started looking for some information on how to use the Flow Mapper plug-in, after finding nothing descriptive I thought it would be easier to ask someone who has maybe used it successfully before.
For reference I have a point file of centroids of polygons and I have a collection of lat long points which contain an attribute that should connect them to one of the above mentioned centroids. Maybe there is a better way to do this?

While most agree that a certain level of Computer Science is essential to being a good programmer, it seems to me that the principles of good software development is even more important, though not as fundamental.
Just like mechanical engineers take physics classes, but far more engineering classes, I would expect, now that software is over a half century old, that software development would begin to dominate the undergraduate curriculum.
But I don't see much evidence of this. Is there a reason that Software Engineering hasn't taken hold as an academic discipline?

LYNCHBURG, VA - Behind five singles wins and two doubles victories, the Charlotte 49ers (10-5) defeated Liberty (9-4), 6-1, on the road for their fifth straight win.
"The conditions were really difficult out there today," Charlotte coach Billy Boykin said. "It was extremely windy. I am proud of the way we kept our focus through both doubles and singles play. We're getting better now with each match. Our best tennis is still ahead of us. It's up to us to go find it."
Charlotte won two doubles matches to claim the doubles point. At number one doubles, Charlotte's Jack Williams and Jordi Massalle Ferrer improved to 9-0 on the season with an 8-6 win over Liberty's Dillon Segur and Jorge Azuero. At number two doubles, Charlotte's Alex Calott and Paul Cisti won their ninth match of the season with an 8-4 win over Liberty's Shea Thomas and Egon Samaai. At number three doubles, Charlotte's Kamil Khalil and Krzysztof Kwasniewicz had their match with Liberty's Siim Tuus and Guillem Secanell halted with the score tied at 4 since the 49ers had already clinched the doubles point.
Charlotte won five of the six singles matches to claim the overall victory. At number one singles, Charlotte's Williams won his 16th match of the season with a 6-4, 4-6, 1-0 (9-7) win over Liberty's Tuus. At number two singles, Charlotte's Massalle Ferrer won his 22nd match of the season with a 6-3, 4-6, 1-0 (8-6) over Liberty's Thomas. At number three singles, Charlotte's Calott won his 16th match of the season with a 6-2, 6-2 over Liberty's Segur. At number four singles, Charlotte's Cisti lost to Liberty's Azuero in three hard fought sets, 7-5, 3-6, 1-0 (10-8).

Cocktails galore! Not just on the blog though – these ones below will come right to your door. Not only are we bringing you Bramble Bar's signature Affinity Cocktail as of today, but we also recently launched the 2014 vintage releases from The Handmade Cocktail Company. The latter including new additions as well as totally re-specced versions that have been improved significantly with even finer ingredients (no mean feat). These are exciting, tasty times, my friends.
First things first – Bramble Bar in Edinburgh. It's awesome. For a while now they've been creating barrel-aged and bottle-aged Affinity Cocktails, which they serve at the bar in individual bottles for you to pour out yourself. (They're pre-chilled and don't require dilution.) We're rather partial to a couple whenever we visit - it's a perfect mix of Speyside single malt whisky and top quality vermouths (technically a red quinquina and a dry vermouth).

Tell Us: What Do You Think of Clay's New Look?
Clay Aiken's got a new album, A Thousand Different Ways, dropping on Tuesday, but let's face it: What everyone's talking about is his makeover! We're used to seeing a fresh-faced, spiky-haired Clay Aiken, but on the finale of American Idol, Clay premiered his new "I'm a downtown-hipster" shaggy 'do. Judging by his album art, this is the look he's going to be working for a while. But this new k.d. lang-meets-disaffected-myspacer image just looks a little forced to us. Tell us what you think: Is Clay's new look an improvement? Or do you prefer the old hair?

How many idempotent elements are in Z_m or How many roots have this polynomial in Z_m
f(x)=x^2 +x procedure of proof is important for me.

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Idempotent elements are roots of $g(x)=x^2-x$; my answer will apply equally well to $f(x)=x^2+x$.
The important step is the Chinese Remainder Theorem: one way of stating it is that if $m=p_1^{r_1}\times\cdots\times p_k^{r_k}$ is factored into powers of distinct primes, then the ring $Z_m$ is equal to the direct product of rings $Z_{p_1^{r_1}} \times \cdots \times Z_{p_k^{r_k}}$. So it suffices to count the number of roots in each ring $Z_{p_i^{r_i}}$ and then multiply those numbers together to obtain the number of roots in $Z_m$.
I think it will be easy to convince yourself that the polynomial $g(x)=x^2-x$ has exactly two roots in any ring of the form $Z_{p^r}$.
(By the way, the isomorphism between $Z_m$ and $Z_{p_1^{r_1}} \times \cdots \times Z_{p_k^{r_k}}$ is completely explicit, so this even gives a way to construct the idempotent elements, not just count them.)

Bad Student's Worst Nightmare: On-line Parents
One feature of a new ParentLink Suite™ offered by Sprint to K-12 schools may be a bad student's worst nightmare come true. Parents, instead of coaxing information out of students or waiting until the end of a grading period for a formal report on their child's progress, now can short-circuit the process and access grades 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The package helps schools leverage the power of increased parental involvement to improve student performance.
With the Sprint technology, teachers can easily and conveniently alert parents when grades improve or decline on homework or weekly quizzes. Teachers can report missed assignments, further opening lines of communications between parents and teachers. Reporting thresholds can be established for any single student or group of students.
What makes this possible is the three-component ParentLink Suite™, which consists of an Attendance Server, a Teacher's Assistant, and ParentLink itself, which offers a Homework Hotline. These components give parents instant access to their children's school information by telephone or Internet.
As a communications system that brings together parents, teachers, and students, ParentLink aims to enhance parents' involvement in the education of their children. Parental involvement can dramatically improve children's academic achievement.
"Research confirms that when parents are partners in their children's education, the results are improved student achievement, better school attendance, reduced dropout rates, and decreased delinquency," writes Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley.
Here are examples of how the Sprint technology can enrich the school_home connection.
Reducing Absenteeism
As well freeing up teacher time by automatically compiling attendance records, Attendance Server gives parents instant access to their children's attendance records by individual class period as the school day progresses. If a child is absent or tardy for a class, the school can automatically phone parents at home or at work or notify them via the Internet. This quick response helps parents break the destructive cycle of student absenteeism, an early warning sign of at_risk student behavior.
Better Communications
ParentLink is an interactive voice response system that provides for outbound dialing, voice mail for parents and students, and a Homework Hotline where students and parents can check homework assignments, school club activities, and even lunch menus 24 hours a day. The system allows schools to deliver important messages to individual homes, groups of homes, or the parents of every student in the school. Enhanced features also allow schools to conduct automatic surveys.
Help Student Achievement
The Teacher's Assistant module reports student progress to parents and also provides them with access to their children's grades 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In my
Draw method, I am doing the following:
Is this a good idea? Or should I do this once at the
constructor level?
If the bones are static and so are the transforms, you only need to apply the transforms once. You can do that in the constructor.
However, if you're using the bones to position the model or animate the model, you'll need to update them more often. How often depends on how you're using them. For example, you may be reusing the same model and bones to draw multiple instances of a single model. In this case you'd have to update the transforms every frame. If you're just animating one model, you only need to update the transforms on a pose change. That could be at the same speed as your frame rate or it could be slower, it depends on your animation speed and run speed.

Raw chicken is generally considered not safe to eat. A lot of people eat sushi/sashimi though, and that's raw fish. So, how come that's safe (if it is)?
I discussed a similar subject in this question: What exactly is "Sushi Grade" fish?
Raw fish isn't safe to eat if it's just been sitting around. However, the raw fish used in sushi/sashimi has been frozen (typically flash-frozen) in order to kill any parasites, making it as safe as any other food.
Most distributors of sashimi also have their own methods and internal regulations to ensure food safety, but specifics are understandably hard to come by. Suffice it to say, it's far safer to eat properly-prepared nigiri or sashimi than it is to eat an undercooked hamburger.
As mentioned in this question about raw chicken - some people and cultures do indeed eat raw chicken.
Notwithstanding that, to answer your question more directly, the main problem with eating raw meat, fish, or anything else, are bacteria, parasites and other pathogens.
A healthy animal, however, butchered appropriately, should have no specific issues. As such, we make beef tartare, sashimi (sushi refers to the rice, not the raw fish) and just enjoy!
Sushi isn't 100% safe, but it's reasonably safe (I eat it all the time).
Different animals can harbor different diseases. Chicken are known to carry salmonella, which is pretty harmful to humans. Compare this to most types of sushi grade fish, which don't carry diseases as harmful.
This is also a matter of preparation. "Sushi Grade" fish is prepared very carefully with raw consumption in mind. If a chicken is raised guaranteed free of salmonella, or care is taken to make sure the muscle meat never came into contact with organs or feathers, it would be safe to eat raw. However, the fact is that almost no chicken meets that criteria as there seems to be no demand for raw chicken.
The key to sushi is the quality and the freshness. The fresher, the better.
Much the same rational as steak tartare. To quote Anthony Bourdain, "The key to a successful steak tartare is fresh beef, freshly hand-chopped at the very last minute and mixed table-side"
Note that sushi is saltwater fish. Eating raw freshwater fish is not a good idea.
I once watched a TV program in which a parasitologist was interviewed. Many kinds of meat and fish contain parasites that can cause harm to humans, and fish is no exception.
She said that the worms found in fish were easy to spot, to the trained eye, and that a good sushi chef would see them and not serve those pieces.
At the end of the interview, she was asked if there was any kind of food she would always avoid. She said she wouldn't easy sushi from a source she didn't trust fully.
Me, I love sushi too much to ever turn down the chance to eat it :D
Raw fish meat and chicken can cause intestinal worms wich create in your stomach in order to eat all undisposed fish meat or chicken that your body has not fully gotten rid of . They help by eating these leftover subjects but are pretty wierd to think about having and can start eating the body itself it's best to never eat raw fish chicken or meat of any kind and also to make sure it's fully cooked.

I was wondering if it is possible to play a four hands piano piece with just two hands. Were any classical musicians capable of doing that?
Short answer: yes, but...
Longer answer: A piece for piano four hands generally has movement of notes in opposing directions that can "tie up" a single player's fingers, and/or spans of notes that two hands generally cannot cover. Depending on the piece, it is possible for a single player to improvise something similar, but they probably won't hit every note on the page and so the harmonies and movements won't be as "deep" as with two players.
There is a famous story about the blind jazz piano player Art Tatum. When he was a child, circa 1920, he heard a piano piece from a player piano roll. It was recorded by two pianists playing four hands on the piano. However, Tatum did not know that it was a four-hand piece, and had no sheet music (which he could not see anyway) so he learned it by ear and played it by himself, with two hands. This is recounted in the Jazz documentary television series by director Ken Burns.
However, in a quote from a published book mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Art Tatum, it's said that Tatum himself denied that this story was true.
