On the first weekend in February, Evelyn and I had the opportunity to spend a full day in San Francisco, following a week in San Jose. Evelyn was on a business trip to the SNIA Winter Symposium, and I was able to tag along for the ride, working from the hotel room (where I did not expect to find an Aeron chair).
Come Saturday we ventured on up to San Francisco, accompanied by Evelyn's esteemed colleague, Kevin, who, being a native of the Bay Area, essentially served as our tour guide. Close to ten years had passed since I was last in San Francisco, on occasion of an orchestra tour while in high school, and it was Evelyn's first visit to the city.
We began the morning at Fisherman's Wharf, where we wandered over to a large building by the water that had a banner with "Free Admission" and something about a museum. It turned out to be the home of Musee Mecanique (or the Mechanical Museum of San Francisco), which was a wonderful surprise for us. The museum features hundreds of antique machines, nearly all in working order (especially the coin-operated part), including orchestrions, mechanical dioramas, animatronics, early video games, and other classic game machines from earlier generations. Highlights were some of the early sports games, almost anything that made music, and the modern classics like Pole Position and Spy Hunter.
Following the museum we had clam chowder in bread bowls for lunch, enjoyed the great weather and walked around the piers. We saw breakdancers perform (put the other street performers to shame), heard live music (a very young band, weak), bought some chocolate (tasty), saw the sea lions (boring, they're better in Oregon) and eventually got a $40 parking ticket (super weak – watch those 1 hour meters!).
We then proceeded to Ghirardelli Square, which was ultimately underwhelming, in part because a large portion was closed for construction and renovation. The Ghirardelli store was mildly interesting, but it suffers from the wide availability of so many Ghirardelli products these days, that only a few items seemed unique or exclusive to the store. We passed on ice cream, and weren't interested in the other shops in the Square, so we left.
Our next stop was the Golden Gate Park and eventually the infamous Bridge. After snapping some pictures, we walked a ways onto the bridge, enjoyed the view, I snapped some more pictures, and then we walked back.
It was late afternoon when we arrived at the Japanese Tea Garden, only to find out that they're not open very late during the winter months. There was still a little time before they closed, so we went in anyway. The gardens were attractive despite the time of year, with a variety of plants and garden areas and two pagodas, although the large pond being empty was disappointing.
Across the street was the San Francisco Botanical Garden. We decided to walk around there too, as there was still some time left before the sun went down. It reminded me a bit of the Oregon Garden, although it was a bit strange to realize that this place was in such a busy urban area. We enjoyed the flora and fauna (just ducks and squirrels) before heading back to the car. On our way to the other side of the city, it was getting dark, but we still drove down the super curvy Lombard Street, even in the non-agile rental car (rhymes with chorus).
Dinner was at a great Italian restaurant in North Beach, Trattoria Pinocchio. We ended the night by spending some time walking around in Chinatown. Kevin knew of a small back-alley place that made fortune cookies and he was able to find it again, so we got to have some hot cookies right off the line. In addition, we both had chocolate ones for the first time. At the last shop we visited, we picked up a small tea set, and I finally tried bubble tea for the first time.
It was a long day but we had a great time. I'll have the pictures up soon.

In reading the paper of Green and Tao on arithmetic progressions within the primes, I became very interested in the notion of a k-pseudorandom measure discussed in that paper.
A measure here is a function $\nu:\mathbf{Z}_N\to\mathbf{R}$ such that $\mathbf{E}\nu=1+o(1)$, and it is k-pseudorandom if it obeys the ($k2^{k-1}$,$3k-1$,$k$) (I think) linear forms condition, which basically asserts that it behaves independently with respect to at most $k2^{k-1}$ independent linear forms in $3k-1$ variables, and if it also obeys the correlation condition, which is a weaker form controlling the linear forms $x+h_i$.
They show that a relative Szemeredi's theorem applies to functions bounded by a k-pseudorandom measure, and then construct one that (effectively) bounds the primes.
My question is where else these type of functions have been studied, whether their theory has been expanded, and whether other explicit examples have been found and applied in other situations.

The Chalet Gidi offers an excellent location with excellent facilities. We enjoyed the stay, but guests be aware of the extra charges (we paid over 300 franks) and make sure you make decisions based on the real cost of the property, which is available on almost any booking website and not exclusively to Wimdu.
Very nice house located on entry to the Montafon valley. It is perfectly suited for a group of 8-10 people and equipped with everything you need. If you don't mind using your car to get to the ski lift, the place is highly recommended.
Villa Nardi is a splendid occassion to see an italian house from inside! Really worth of the price if you travel to understand local culture. It is not a hotel room, nothing like BB standard. For those who have small children it is not good place - house is too big and children are affraid to be alone for night (story of contessa maybe not best advertisment...). It is very convinient location - easy travel to Padova and Venezia by bus, no need to search for parking place :) Big store close to villa. Needs internet ! In this time it is really everyday need ! We will come-back there.
This was a very nice stay in a flat with everything, you need.
Got this for a great price. Not amazing looking but a nice place for three young guys who just want to snowboard with the odd night out. Had everything we needed. Oven, hob, cutlery, shower, sofa beds, balcony and the place was nice and warm. These apartments are located above clubs and bars so expect to hear music and crowd noise starting around 11, possibly depends where you are situated in the building . Perhaps not suitable for a family.
First time in the St Moritz - we skiing in various places and now we were here.
This is a very nice place. We have a very good weather firstly for 10 years!
fantastic location, beautiful Old Prague apartment. big and spacious: pity there's only one bathroom and the WC is truly small and uncomfortable. characteristic furniture although sometimes broken. very efficient reception with nice people welcoming and helping you. we stayed in 5 adults.
Very nice flat in a good location. Perfect service.
I went with my girlfriend, my parents and my dog. We all really loved the stay! The house is renewed, and everything was like shown in the pictures. It's well placed and the city is lovely. I really recommend.
Everything was great :) Can only recommend it.

tl;dr – Libraries and digital humanities have the same goals. Stop asking if the library has a role, or what it is, and start getting involved in digital projects that are already happening. Advocate for new expanded roles and responsibilities to be able to do this. Become producers/creators in collaboration with scholars rather than servants to them.
Introduction – On Kirschenbaum
In the spring of 2011, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Professor of English at the University of Maryland, published a piece for the Association of Departments of English titled "What Is Digital Humanities and What's it Doing in English Departments?" That piece has become one of the central defining works for the field/movement/ideal of Digital Humanities (DH), along with several other key articles (see Sources for Further Reading section at the end of the article). Kirschenbaum's thesis is that over time "digital humanities has accumulated a robust professional apparatus that is probably more rooted in English than any other departmental home." Definitive as that is, with ample proof for the claim, he leaves room for an expansion and ends the article writing that:
…digital humanities today is about a scholarship (and a pedagogy) that is publicly visible in ways to which we are generally unaccustomed, a scholarship and pedagogy that are bound up with infrastructure in ways that are deeper and more explicit than we are generally accustomed to, a scholarship and pedagogy that are collaborative and depend on networks of people and that live an active 24/7 life online.1
Aside from the complications of defining what is/are/is-not digital humanities, it is in this publicly visible, collaborative, online network and infrastructure that the Library should begin to see itself.
In light of articles such as Kirschenbaum's, libraries have struggled to define their role in digital humanities, as the discussions around DH often resort to theoretical discourse or technical know-how. Arguably, however, because the library already functions as a interdisciplinary agent in the university, it is the central place where DH work can, should be and is being done. DH projects involve archival collections, copyright/fair use questions, information organization, emerging technologies and progressive ideas about the role of text(s) in society, all potential areas of expertise within the field of librarianship. In fact, three out of four highly active digital humanities centers are physically located with their respective University libraries; Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) at the University of Maryland – College Park, ScholarsLab at the University of Virginia, and Digital Scholarship Commons (DiSC) at Emory University are all housed in the library. The Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University is affiliated with the History and Art History Department but is located in its own space. Comparatively, and illustrative of the ongoing Hack vs. Yack dichotomy in DH (doing and making things rather than critically analyzing them), academic departments are more often where digital humanities is discussed, theorized and written about.
Additionally, the "Alt–Ac" (alternative academic) workforce, defined as people with graduate training in the humanities who pursue careers off the tenure track, tend to aim their professional aspirations toward working in a library, often without a traditional training in librarianship. The CLIR Fellowship program is particularly designed for this. As evidenced by the recent Alt-Ac survey, self-identifying DHers fall into a wide variety of disciplines, many hold PhD's and few claim the title of "librarian." Although maintaining a visibility in DH, the Library (writ large) has yet to fully understand itself as essential to the goals of digital humanities. Through a brief overview of several foundational writings on digital humanities, this article will attempt to point out some areas where the Library must better articulate this role. Also, I hope to encourage librarians who are invested and interested in this and related areas to begin to approach digital projects as opportunities for partnerships. Lastly, I will challenge the "service" model of librarianship and propose that the self-perception of the field needs to evolve to a "production" model.
What You Do with a Million Books, Screwmaneutically Speaking: The Library as Place – On Ramsay
Wayne Wiegand, historian of print culture and libraries, holds a mantra regarding the library as place. He states that rather than understanding "the user in the life of the library, we must see the library in the life of the user."2 It would not be a stretch to attribute much of the innovation that libraries are undergoing to this ideal; that the user has evolved, and therefore so must the library. Library programming now includes tips on web searching, there are more computer terminals than card catalogs, and coffee is close at hand. Further, the library, as a staid institution of knowledge and exploration, should then blend in with the multitude of ways that the user discovers information. Or so the story goes. Placing Wiegand's hopeful thesis in the context of recent proclamations about the lack of necessity of librarians and the death of the humanities, one could assume that both are shushing and critically-theorizing themselves down the drain hole, and that there is no place for the library in the life of the user.3
The library must function as a place where scholars can try new things, explore new methodologies and generally experiment with new ways of doing scholarship, in order to challenge that perception. Stephen Ramsay, Associate Professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a Fellow at the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, in his "The Hermeneutics of Screwing Around; or What You Do with a Million Books" suggests that browsing, in opposition to searching, is a cultural imperative. Browsability, in the most traditional sense, is still a relatively sore subject in librarianship. As resources move digital, and space is reallocated from stacks to "labs" and "commons," the argument has been that browsing is non-imperative to the mission-critical tasks of the modern library. However, as Ramsay puts it:
It's not a matter of replacing one with the other, as any librarian will tell you. It is rather to ask whether we are ready to accept surfing and stumbling—screwing around, broadly understood—as a research methodology. For to do so would be to countenance the irrefragable complexities of what 'no one really knows.' Could we imagine a world in which 'Here is an ordered list of the books you should read,' gives way to, 'Here is what I found. What did you find?'4
Reimagining the place of the library, then, in light of the libraries' role in the digital humanities, is not simply as a place to get the right answers, or be directed to the correct resource. The library must facilitate the Screwmeneutical Imperative, browsability and playfulness. The reference interview, guiding a patron to a specific research question in order to provide a specific research answer, rather than offering a method of wayfinding, needs to adapt to allow for exploration, particularly in dealing with scholars and students in the humanities.
Further, the library must be willing to allow dedicated time for what happens after exploration. The "serve 'em and send 'em along" model is no longer serving a patronage whose information needs include planning, building and executing projects that utilize the strengths of librarianship (information organization and broad contextualization).
Reframing the library as a productive place, a creative place, producing and creating something – whether that be digital scholarly works or something else entirely – will open the door to allow the library into the life of the user. One role for the library in DH, then, is to support the journey of research as a means in itself, and encourage imaginative, new, transformative uses of the products of research.5
Why Digital Humanities? – On Spiro
Asking what digital humanities is or who's allowed to be involved fails to get at the real value this field offers to academia, cultural heritage and to the public. The key is realizing the potential that arts, music, poetry and literature can have when translated to digital forms, scraped with digital tools and re-presented to readers/viewers. At its core, DH shares the most basic goal with the library – accessibility of information. The multitude of DH projects aim to take cultural materials that were previously undiscoverable digitally, the very materials humanities scholars address and utilize for their work, and connect them to a new, broad audience. Or build a tool to enable others to do exactly that. Lisa Spiro, Director of National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE) Labs and Editor of the Digital Research Tools (DiRT) wiki, in her presentation "Why Digital Humanities?" outlines the goals of the field from her perspective, honing in on five areas where digital humanities aims beyond traditional academic scholars.
1) provide wide access to cultural information,
2) enable manipulation of that data,
3) transform scholarly communication,
4) enhance teaching and learning, and
5) make a public impact.6
Plainly, these overlap with librarianship at its best, and as the library works to refine its impact on society, exploring these areas through the lens of DH is a useful consideration.
It is no surprise that words like "manipulate," "transform," "enhance," and "impact" are leveraged when discussing a digitally-focused movement. The Tech sector might use the word "disrupt." In a good PR move, adopting trends in cultural discourse can lend credence to misunderstood areas. This bisects both DH and the library in the reality of attempting to communicate the value of the work we do as librarians and digital scholars. A recent College and Research Libraries News article, "2012 top ten trends in academic libraries," claims that "Academic libraries must prove the value they provide to the academic enterprise… unless we give our funding bodies better and more compelling reasons to support libraries, they will be forced by economic reality to stop doing so."7 What the digital humanities offers that libraries typically have not is a tangible product – a website, a digitized collection with a built in text-mining tool, a tool to add layers of meaning to maps, a sexy interface. Making "stuff" indicates effectively that there is work being done to provide valuable, useful, interesting content to an information-sucking world. Additionally, DH revolves around building things that allow these projects to grow, develop, adapt and entice a wide variety of users including programmers, armchair historians, high-school students, and funding bodies(!), for example. Tying the library's strengths, people and ideals to tangible products of scholarly work (that aren't necessarily "publications") has the potential to bode well for the next round of legislation that claims "its all on Google anyways."
Accessibility as an idea is not new to libraries. Approaching it as THE work we DO, rather than a service we offer, might be the disruptive extension that is necessary. Spiro, also in her presentation, points out the limitations of print, another sore subject for the library, that DH projects attempt to affect; one can't search, hyperlink, embed or quickly and efficiently develop a conversation on/in/around print. Although this is evolving with new forms of texts, the challenges are considerable. Scholarly Communication, an emerging area of librarianship that is being actively explored in many institutions, is actually offering the library a distinct role in the dissemination of research. Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Director of Scholarly Communication for the Modern Language Association, eloquently states "Closing our work away from non-scholarly readers, and keeping our conversations private, might protect us from public criticism, but it can't protect us from public apathy, a condition that is, in the current economy, far more dangerous."8
Framed this way, it appears DH and libraries are traveling on the same trajectory, from supposed obsolescence toward redefinition through digital accessibility.
Participating in, advocating for and managing tools around emerging models of scholarly communication is another opportunity for the library to define its place in the scope of digital humanities. Open access (scholarly communication) is to DH as open access (information accessibility) is to the library – the goal and context through which we define and promote our value.
#alt-LIS, Skunks, Hybrarians and "strange institutions" – On Nowviskie
Embracing 'screwing around' and intimating a stronger sense of how to DO digital accessibility are both well and good. Revolutionizing the ways in which librarians understand themselves and their work, however, is the primary task at hand. Altering the organization of the institution, doing away with reference desks, introducing new media, and all other growing pains libraries endure are ill-informed developments if the librarians, paraprofessionals and support staff have not re-imagined themselves and their skill-sets. Digital humanities, already redefining the humanities and scholars therein as per Kirschenbaum's aforementioned piece, offers a looking glass through which to step. The shift toward alternative appointments in libraries (#alt–LIS = scholarly communications, digital humanities librarians, data librarianship, E-Science, digital archivists, project-based appointments, etc.) is building the capacity for the library to be productively integrated in digital scholarship.
Bethany Nowviskie, Director of Digital Research & Scholarship at the University of Virginia Library, is an advocate for this great migration away from traditionally-understood librarian roles. Several articles available on her blog, "Fight Club Soap," "Lazy Consensus," and "A Skunk in the Library," challenge the concept that a good librarian is a servant to the academic community, sitting in wait to provide for whatever the need may be. She writes, plainly and boldly:
…[There is] a fundamental misunderstanding that librarians make in our dealing with faculty – and it comes down to what is, honestly, one of the most lovely qualities of library culture: its service ethic… The impulse is to provide a level of self-effacing service – quiet and efficient perfection – with a goal of not distracting the researcher from his work. You start this with the best of intentions, but it can lead to an ad-hoc strategy, in good times and bad, of laying a smooth, professional veneer over increasingly decrepit and under-funded infrastructure – effectively, of hiding the messy innards of the library from your faculty, the very people who would be your strongest allies if the building weren't a black box.9
The level of anxiety these kinds of statements produce in librarians is scary. However, approaching a new frame of mind as an opportunity rather than a death sentence would seem to be the more productive response. Accepting the responsibility to (quickly) adapt and evolve may incite a greater enthusiasm for the library among patrons, and propel its changing role in scholarly processes.
At the July 2011 meeting of the Scholarly Communications Institute, of which Nowviskie is a Co-Director, Shana Kimball, Head of Publishing Services, Outreach & Strategic Development for MPublishing at University of Michigan Libraries, proposed the idea that what is necessary are more "strange institutions," blending libraries, research centers, publishing houses and technology-producers.10 These peculiarities, she goes on to comment, would require a workforce of "Scholar Programmers," elsewhere called "scholar technologists," or in the context of the library, hybrarians. More often than not, this new breed of worker is not-necessarily an MLIS holder, to the chagrin and horror of library-land. However, DH, and those invested in its future, are seeking these skill-sets, again providing an open door for librarians to revamp their self-perception and thus their perceptibility. Echoing Nowviskie's Fight Club reference, and as a challenge to librarians, "You decide your own level of involvement."
In closing, several points remain. This has all been said before.11 There are already advocates inside and outside the library for deep collaboration on projects that fit into the DH mold. What, then, is digital humanities and what's it doing in the library? In every real sense, the library always/already has the necessary pieces in place to support, engage in and do digital humanities work. The issue, in my opinion, is simply this: Digital Humanities doesn't have a place in the library. Digital humanists do.
"Librarians" working in and across digital areas, who have been called many things over time, need to proudly identify themselves as DHers, and fully expect to be regarded as such by peers, colleagues, faculty and administrators, and let the broad work they do engage with that community.
The problem is not browsing or access, it is timidity. And until librarianship moves away from our academic inferiority complex, and embraces the calling of digital work in contrast to the vocation of servitude, digital humanities will continue to be led by smart, capable, progressive faculty members in English and History. Quoting Ramsay again, in order for the library to DO digital humanities it must embrace the charge to become "a bunch of people who had found each other through various means and who were committed to the bold and revolutionary project of talking to one another about their common interests"12… outside the four walls of the library.
Thank you to Lead Piper Erin Dorney, and colleagues Markus Wust at North Carolina State and Annie Pho of Hack Library School for reviewing this article, forcing clarification of my ideas, and generally encouraging this piece to the state you see it in today. Also, thanks to all those cited herein and the larger DH community for being supportive of me in my exploration of this exciting area.
Opportunities to get involved:
THATCamp – The Humanities and Technology Camp is an unconference bringing together scholars, technologists, librarians of all types, journalists, students and more. It has become the quintessential digital humanities gathering. Librarians especially should consider attending THATCamp Libraries and Digital Humanities this year and THATCamp ACRL next year.
*UPDATED* Digital Humanities Summer/Winter Institute – provides an opportunity for scholars to learn new skills relevant to digital scholarship and mingle with like-minded colleagues through coursework, social events, and lectures during an intensive, week-long event. It is "an event that combines the best aspects of a skills workshop, international conference, and summer camp."
ACRL Digital Humanities Discussion Group – A recently formed venue for ACRL members to meet and share ideas related to Digital Humanities and the role of librarians in this emerging discipline. Also, read Bob Kosovsky's report from this group that met for the first time at ALA annual a few days ago.
Zotero Digital Humanities Group – A place for all of those interested in how digital media and technology are changing the humanities to discuss and create the future together. Contribute items to this open bibliography.
DHAnswers – a community-based Q&A board for all things DH
DHCommons – a hub for people and organizations to find projects to work with, and for projects to find collaborators.
DiRT Wiki – a directory of tools, services, and collections that can facilitate digital research. Developing a familiarity with these tools is one way to facilitate the librarian's role in doing the work of digital humanities.

I've got a very similar model (S-5400) and like it very much--but if you're willing to go refurbished instead of new as this offer is, you can find much cheaper options.

In my experiment, I am filling liquid crystal between two glass plates. Nn AC voltage is applied on them. The thickness of the liquid crystal cell is around $200 \mu m$. One glass plate is with +V and another with -V. Liquid crystal is aligned perpendicular to the electric field direction. Now I am inserting a metal coated fiber in the liquid crystal cell (between the glass plate filled with liquid crystal).
- Is this metal coated fiber has any effect on electric field?
- If yes, then what happens to the electric field orientation and strength.
- Is it still transverse?

The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary has caused legislators to question the security of current gun laws.
But as Washington is tightening its grip on the Second Amendment, gun owners in Bowling Green are still exercising their rights.
"I've had two or three people a day contact me since the horrible tragedy at the Sandy Hook Elementary School everyday since that event happened ask my advice on purchasing fire arms," Tom Baker says.
Baker is an extraordinaire on big game hunting.
"I think there's a really concern by a whole lot of folks that our second amendment rights will probably be restricted in some form," he says.
Some politicians are wanting to change the current gun laws by outlawing assault weapons, since Adam Lanza killed nearly 30 people with an AR.
The threat has caused a sense of urgency among gun owners. Sherwood's Guns in Bowling Green has sold out of assault rifles.
"I haven't ever seen it that empty, I mean obviously people are coming in here and buying a lot of guns here lately, in the last couple of days," Steve Miller says.
Miller has shopped at Sherwood's for years.
"I don't know if I would say I am freaking out, but I'm very concerned, and I do have quite a few guns. I'm not a hunter, but I just love collecting guns. So I am in here today to buy another one," he says.
On Saturday, Sherwood's Guns broke its all time sales record. Since then, the store has broken a new record daily. The stores aren't the only ones seeing an urgency.
"I have been teaching concealed carry classes for 11 years. For our January we have well over 30 people who have signed up so we are going to go ahead and do two classes. The demand has sky-rocketed," said Phil Kimbel.
Kimbel usually has about 21 people sign up for a class once each month.
The mass shooting in Connecticut appears to be driving up gun sales in several other states as well.

What's the best 1/4" cable (brand, gauge, etc.) to connect a guitar amp head to a speaker cabinet? I have a run of under 10 feet. I read using an instrument cable can damage the amp and speakers.
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 15:03
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
The best bang for your buck will be to make it yourself: buy a good brand of plugs (neutrik, switchcraft, etc) from Markertek or equivalent and use plain old 2-conductor AC extension cord for the cabling. Banana plugs or Speakon are preferable to 1/4" but not terribly common in guitar rigs.
Make the cable as short as possible, but not too short!
While you should use a cable designed for the job, this is not because using an instrument cable will damage speakers or the amp, but because an instrument cable is designed for low noise and low current, a speaker cable may have significant current going through it so needs to be able to cope with high power.
(Actually, I guess if the cable does melt, a short circuit could damage the amp, so yes - it could damage your amp)
In terms of brand or gauge - it really will not be important which you choose. There is an awful lot of hype over cables which may have x% oxygen, or gold foils etc, but this application is not generally one which requires a top spec signal to noise ratio, so a screen or shield is not needed (unlike your guitar lead which will have a shield to try and prevent mains interference etc)
It would also be an unsuitable question here as the 'best' brand may change over time or from location to location.
Just look for cables described as 'speaker cables' - ideally ones with "Speakon" connectors if your speaker cabinet has that type of connector.

Given a weighted graph $G = (V,E)$, the in-degree of a node is defined as $ k_{in}(i) = \sum_{j:j \rightarrow i} A_{ji} $ where $A_{ji}$ is the weight of edge from node $j$ to $i$. My question is if there are $m$ nodes pointing to $i$, what's the terminology for $m$? Is it the number of in-links?
The quantity you are asking about is usually called the "fan-in" of node $i$. The dual quantity which counts the number of nodes to which $i$ points is called the "fan-out". The terms are standard at least in the circuit design and computer science literature, but I can't seem to find them in graph theory texts at the moment. Searching google for something like directed graph "fan in" will reveal many papers that use the term.
I've seen papers where $m$ is called the in-degree and $k_{in}$ is called something else (such as weighted in-degree). Using in-degree and fan-in as Vel Nias suggests would be fine too. But you need to define it as there isn't universal agreement on how to interpret these names in the weighted graph context.

If X is a normed linear space ,$x_{1},x_{2},…,x_{n}\in X$ are linear independent,$a_{1},a_{2},…,a_{n}\in F$ are arbitrary,then there exist $f\in X^{\ast } $ such that $f\left( x_{k}\right)= a_{k}$,$k=1,2,…,n$.
I have tried to find a $M\in F$ such that for aritrary $t_{1},t_{2},…,t_{n}\in F$,$\left| \sum _{k=1}^{n} t_{j}a_{j}\right|\leq M\left\|\sum _{k=1}^{n} t_{j}x_{j}\right\|$ but it seemed failed.
Is it necessary to show that $\overline {f}$ is bounded?$\overline {f}\in span\ \left\{ x_{1},x_{2},…,x_{n}\right\}$ $\overline {f}\left( x_{k}\right)= a_{k}$

WHEELING - Football season has been over for just two weeks.
Attention now shifts to the Rudy Mumley OVAC All-Star Charity Football Classic, which will be held on July 28 at Wheeling Island Stadium.
OVAC Executive Secretary Tom Rataiczak and Mumley Game Director Bob Koch announced that Shadyside's Mark Holenka and Wheeling Central's Mike Young have accepted the conference's invitation to coach Ohio and West Virginia, respectively, in the game.
Holenka guided his Tigers to a 10-0 regular season and berth in the Division VI playoffs. However, the Orange were dispatched in the first round by Berlin Center Western Reserve. It was Shadyside's first loss on its home field in the postseason.
In the process of the undefeated regular season, the Tigers captured their 12th OVAC title in school history and second under Holenka's watch.
When Holenka leads the Ohio squad onto the field in July, it'll be the first time a Tiger head coach has guided the Ohio side.
"I guess it's a feather in the cap of Shadyside and for our entire staff," Holenka said. "It puts Shadyside on the map a little bit."
Holenka, who is a Bethany College graduate, didn't have the opportunity to play in the game during his senior season. He graduated in 1971 and that was one of two years when the game wasn't staged because of NCAA sanctioning.
"I looked forward to the chance to possibly play in this game as a kid and then they didn't have it," Holenka said. "We didn't have the chance to be picked and now I'm on the other end of it."
The selection of players is something that concerns Holenka the most.
"I enjoy the coaching aspect and look forward to that, but I really wish there were some sort of committee to choose the teams," Holenka admitted. "For me, I am (coaching) because of my players at Shadyside. Now, I have to make the separation of who (plays in the game). And those kids are the reason that I am going. It's tough, but we'll certainly do our best and make the most of it."
Holenka is still formulating his staff for the game.
Young, meanwhile, was invited to guide the Mountain State all-stars for the first time in his career after guiding the Maroon Knights to a 7-3 record and yet another trip to the West Virginia Class A playoffs.
While this is Young's first time on the Mountaineer sideline, it's his second tour of duty with the OVAC game. He coached the Ohio squad in 1991 when he was the head coach at St. Clairsville and led the Buckeyes to a 30-6 victory.
He's also been an assistant coach, twice under George Strager with Ohio and once under Jim Thomas on the West Virginia side. He was also a trainer in the game five times.
"I've been involved with this game for 20-plus years through the scholarship we present at the Strager Evening With the Stars dinner," Young said. "This is definitely a honor and something I am definitely looking forward to."
Young was a member of the North coaching staff for the West Virginia North-South Game last summer and that experience made him even more excited to accept the OVAC nod.
"To me, coaching football has been my life, and I am not ready to give up my life yet," Young said. "I still have a passion for it and still enjoy it. I enjoy being around new kids, who've been selected as 'all-stars.' Just the opportunity to coach this level of an athlete should be considered a great honor and will be a great experience."
Young believes his entire coaching staff will join him at the all-star game.
The coaches are expected to receive the player nominations next month and will then begin the process of trying to select the best 32 players they can to represent their respective state.

Are there examples of non-Kahler complex manifolds with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle?
Yes, you might look at the following paper by J. Fine and D. Panov: http://arxiv.org/abs/0905.3237
This is covered in Andrei Halanay's answer, but it's worth mentioning the simplest examples, which are primary Kodaira surfaces. For the simplest of these:
Take C^2 and quotient by the group generated by these a_k:
a_1 : z -> z + 1
a_2 : z -> z + i
a_3 : w -> w + z + 1
a_4 : w -> w - iz + i
(I think this is it.)
The quotient group is nonabelian. Here z is the fiber and w the base.
Any non-trivial principal elliptic bundle $\pi:X \to B$ over a Calabi-Yau basis is non-Kaehler but has trivial canonical bundle (because $\mathcal{K}_X \simeq \pi^*\mathcal{K}_B$).
There is a reasonably extensive literature on non-Kahler Calabi-Yau threefolds. They are of interest in string theory; see for example http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/hep-th/0301161, as well as http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/0809.4748 for an analogue of Calabi's conjecture in this context.
One can ask for non-Kähler compact manifolds with holomorphically trivial tangent bundle, and still get many examples. By a result of Wang ( Proc. AMS 5 ), these are quotients of a complex Lie group $G$ by a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$.
If the quotient is compact Kähler then $G$ must be abelian. Indeed, every vector subspace of the Lie algebra of $G$ gives rise to a holomorphic differential form on $G/\Gamma$. If $G$ is not abelian then one can choose a subspace not closed under the Lie bracket. The corresponding differential form is clearly not closed, what cannot happen in compact Kähler manifolds.
For a thorough study of examples of this kind see this book by Winkelmann.
More examples are given by nilmanifolds.
Barberis, Dotti and Verbitsky proved in Theorem 2.7 in http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=2496748 that nilmanifolds endowed with invariant complex structures have trivial canonical bundle. See also Cavalcanti and Gualtieri's Theorem 3.1 in http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=2131642
On the other hand, non-tori nilmanifolds never admit a Kaehler structure, because of Benson and Gordon, http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=976592 , or Hasegawa, http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=946638 , or ...

Over a long time, the network I work with has grown from a couple of servers and a handful of client PCs to a gargantuan beast with the following things configured on the core switch:
- VLANs - Trunks, access ports and general ports.
- Several Multiple Spanning Tree instances
- Lots of subnets
- Port-Channels
It has become very tricky to communicate this to new members of staff and contractors. A diagram showing the physical components of the network (switches, routers, firewalls, servers etc) only tells a small part of the picture. It's all there in the various configurations, but putting this all together into a picture of our network is a huge challenge. Various people have tried to document all this in Excel and Word docs, but nothing tried so far really seems to give a clear overview effectively.
Simplifying our network is a goal for me, but in order to get there, we need to map where we are now, and where we want to go.
Has anyone got any examples of great network diagrams that show more than simple connectivity and communicate? Not necessarily all of the above in one diagram, but alternative ways of drawing things one might achieve in Viso, or even pencil and paper.
I am not asking for recommendations for this or that bit of software. Some examples of great, inspiring, network diagrams would be most welcome.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Just How Good Manning's Night Was
Peyton Manning's epic annihilation of the defending-champion Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night—in which he threw seven touchdown passes—has the football world wondering if the record for touchdown passes in a season is primed to fall.
But scintillating openers are often a poor indicator of a quarterback's rest-of-season touchdown proficiency.
The 11 other quarterbacks who have thrown at least five touchdown passes in Week 1 averaged just 20.6 the rest of their seasons. And four—Mark Malone (1985 Pittsburgh Steelers), Steve DeBerg (1987 Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Troy Aiklman (1999 Dallas Cowboys) and Neil O'Donnell (1997 New York Jets)—threw 12 or fewer for the balance of those years. Just one of these 11 passers—Don Meredith (1966 Dallas Cowboys)—played before the 16-game era, which began in the 1978 season.
Of course, Manning's seven touchdowns for the Denver Broncos weren't just a good total for opening-day; they were the most thrown in the NFL since the 1970 AFL merger. Manning plays in a passing-dominated league and helms a wide-open, lightning-paced Denver offense.
And this outburst wasn't entirely shocking, given Manning is 21st all-time in touchdown rate (5.7% of total pass attempts) and briefly held the single-season record himself (49 for the 2004 Indianapolis Colts).
But history suggests that beating the single-season record of 50—set by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in 2007—still remains a long shot. Only three of the passers who dominated their season openers managed to average even two per game for the remainder of the season: Drew Brees (2009 New Orleans Saints), Daunte Culpepper (2004 Minnesota Vikings) and Dan Marino (1984 Miami Dolphins).
And only Marino's rest-of-year pace of 2.87 touchdown passes per game would be enough for Manning to match (but not break) Brady's record.

Where would you like to deliver your baby? You have several options to choose from, and each one has pros and cons that need to be considered. Talk with your partner and health-care provider about your options. If you're not sure which is best for you, take a careful look at each choice. Ask for a tour, get to know what is offered at each site, and then make your choice. Possible sites include your own home, a hospital, or a birth center.
Postpartum is the period after delivery.
Some women feel strongly about having their babies in their own homes where they can enjoy the comfort of family and familiar surroundings. Here they are in charge and there is little medical intervention. During labor they can get up, walk around, have a cup of tea, and talk to friends on the phone. Anything goes, and this is reassuring to many women. But if you are considering this option, be sure you understand all that it entails. It is advised only in low-risk pregnancies where there is little probability that something will go wrong. Still, few licensed providers will assist at a home birth because emergency medical equipment will not be on hand if there are unexpected complications during the birth of the baby. Your delivery therefore will most likely be in the hands of a midwife who will guide you through a natural birth. If you want a home birth, be sure to find a licensed midwife who is affiliated with a back-up physician and a nearby hospital in case anything goes wrong.
In most hospitals all deliveries are handled routinely in four different rooms:
Many hospitals across the country are moving away from this kind of birth setting to a more relaxing one.
In most hospitals, birthing rooms are scarce and available on a first-come, first-served basis. If that's the case, don't set your heart on one, because you can't predict the moment of your baby's birth and make a reservation. Birthing room availability is one of the things you should find out in advance.
Some hospitals and all freestanding birthing centers have birthing rooms (sometimes called LDRs for labor-delivery-recovery rooms). One of the advantages of a birthing room is that labor and delivery occur in the same place, rather than in several locations, as described above. In addition, birthing rooms are usually cozier and look more welcoming than regular hospital rooms. They often have personal showers and a place for visitors to sit. To create this homey feeling, the rooms do not contain as much medical equipment as the average hospital room. Therefore, birthing rooms are usually an option for only low-risk, uncomplicated deliveries. If you would like this kind of room, check with your doctor to make sure it fits your criteria.
If you are considering a freestanding birthing center (a center not connected to a hospital), be sure you understand the medical limitations. Most are staffed by midwives only and cater to natural births. Little or no pain medication is available in a birthing center, nor can it provide for the needs of high-risk pregnancies that require the transferal of the mother and baby to a hospital if complications arise during delivery. To find a birthing center near you, log on to the website of the National Association of Childbearing Centers at www.birthcenters.org.

I just recently finished a test on Physics, and when receiving my scores back I missed a question. Here's what it was if I can remember it correctly:
Three resistors (10.0, 15.0, and 6.00 ohms) are parallel and the circuit is powered by 12.0V. How much current (in amps) is the 6.00 ohm resistor using?
| | | |
--(12.0 V) <(10.0 ohms) <(15.0 ohms) <(6.00 ohms)
- > > >
| | | |
| | | |
So, I assumed that since you can combine parallel resistors into one equivilent resistor, they use the same amount of current.
So I just found the current used (4.00 A), and assumed that the 6.00 ohms resistor used the same current. The teacher, however, stated that the correct answer was 2.00 A.
Am I right or wrong? Why?

I'm kind of confused by this mod on elite enemies. Is it supposed to make it harder to kill each one individually? If so, how does it work?
The Health-Link description taken from here says:
In short, any damage one monster takes is divided between all monsters in the link, so providing X monsters with health link stay near each other, it takes X times as long to single-target dps a monster with Health Link than one without.
It should be noted that if monsters are far enough apart, their "link" isn't active, so you can dps them one at a time if you can separate the group
Health Link means that the elite enemies pass some damage off to each other, i.e. if you focus one elite, the damage will be reduced because it is shared with nearby pals.
If they have no nearby pals, the damage doesn't seem to be shared. If you separate them it is possible to nuke one, and in practice because they spend some time separated so they will not die at exactly the same time.
So yes, it is harder to kill each one individually. However, if you use area-of-effect abilities you won't notice the difference.
For example, think about an ability that hits all three elites, and say anyone hit takes 33% damage while 66% is passed off to the other two elites (combined). So elite A takes 33% damage while B and C take 33% each. However, if you also hit elite B the same applies - he takes 33% while A and C take 33% each. Same goes for elite C, so added together each elite takes 33% directly, plus 33% x 2 from the other two elites passing damage off. Overall you still dealt 33% + 33% x 2 = ~100% damage to your main target.
This doesn't mean that area-of-effect abilities are better at dealing with them - it only means that you won't notice the effects of Health Link.
It shares the health of the linked monsters, and any damage done to any of them is taken from the pool.
For example: If a monster normally has 100hp each, and three of them are linked, they all share a pool of 300 health. You would have to deal a total of 300 damage to any of them, and then they would all die at once.
So the disadvantage is you can't kill them one at a time. You have to fight all three until their pool is drained and they all die at the same time.
As per the player's guide: "Health link reduces the amount of damage taken by the champion with that trait by linking his HP to that of all other Health Link champions in that area. This makes it much harder to clear an area of Champion monsters. When a Health Link Champion takes damage, that damage is divided amongst all other Health Link Champions in the vicinity."
Monster level minimum: 51
Health Link means that your companion or group members will get damage when you get damage. For example: You play with the Scoundrel and he dies. If your lifepool is squishy you too will die with him. Same to non KI group members. That's what Health Link do. and nothing like they got more HP or something - health link is offensive and not defensive.

Drivers start your engines!
Seventeen area businesses competed in a corvette challenge today, well the 19th Annual Mini Corvette Challenge that is.
Spectators watched as drives hit the track and it wasn't your typical race track.
Some strategic driving was required as those racing had to weave through difficult right and left turns, on a track outlined with hay.
The event held at the National Corvette Museum is a friendly competition that aims to raise money for the Junior Achievement program.
"Junior Achievement works with the area schools taking business leaders into the schools to teach kids about business, finance, work force readiness skills. Everything they need to learn to be ready when they leave high school and enter college or into the work force," says Heather Rogers, with Junior Achievement.
Rogers says they hope to raise $25,000 from today's challenge to go towards funding the program.

Good morning,
I'm trying to understand the following fact, that is stated in Gromov and Thurston's paper "Pinching constants for hyperbolic manifolds" :
Let $M$ be a (at least) 3-dimensional compact oriented hyperbolic manifold, with an action of $\mathbb{Z}_i$
by diffeomorphism. Suppose the set of fixed points of the action is a compact oriented submanifold of codimendion $2$, name it $V$, such that its homology class in $H_{n-2}(M, \mathbb{R})$ is $0$.
Mostow's Rigidity theorem ensures that $\mathbb{Z}_i$ acts by isometry.
The claim that I don't understand is : "The fixed point set of this new action is a codimension $2$ submanifold of $M$ diffeomorphic to $V$"
It is not clear in the article whether those hypothesis are sufficient or not, since the submanifold $V$ is the set of ramification of a certain covering map over an hyperbolic manifold in which the image of $V$ is totally geodesic, an the action of $\mathbb{Z}_i$ is an action by deck transformation.
Thanks for the help

A fire that originated in the kitchen of a single-family home on 4 Tenth Avenue in the Weweantic Shores section of town caused $100,000 worth of damage and displaced a Wareham family of six Saturday.
When crews arrived the family had left the home and there were no injuries, Wareham Fire Captain Ed Brundage said.
Wareham Fire responded to the call around 1 p.m. and crews returned around 3:30 p.m. Onset Fire also sent an engine.
"The cause of the fire is under investigation," Brundage said.
The American Red Cross has been on site in Wareham to help the family of six, according to a press release from the Red Cross.
Volunteers provided emergency shelter – in this case a hotel stay – and emergency funds for food, clothing, shoes and winter coats. They also provided comfort kits and a toy for the youngest child in the family.

Did you know Woot Pieces of Crap IX: Touch Me, I'm Crap is up and running?
begins at 8:40 a.m. (CT) on September 14, 2012 and ends upon Woot's receipt of any number of e-mails that meet the requirements of these Terms and Conditions by 9:40 a.m. (CT) on September 13, 2012

Well you beat me to it, but with some errors...first off its from 10:40CT to 11:40 CT...not 8:40...
Link to Terms and Conditions: http://www.woot.com/forums/viewpost.aspx?pageindex=1&postid=5157377
Should have also mentioned that you email email@example.com with "Touch me, I'm Crap" in the subject line...
Finally someone posts this info before the time ran out. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@cengland0: I've posted the past 4 or so and all have been with at least 30 minutes of time left...
@studerc: funny thing is I cut and pasted from the posting over on World Of Woot (main page version) for the times and by this time I figured everyone interested knew about how to enter...but yes I could have/should have included that info, my guess is I copied a typo and they corrected after I posted
Awesome! Thank you for the heads-up!
@studerc: Ah, but by the time I click refresh to see the new deals, there's zero time left. Yes, it's my fault but this time I was finally able to submit that email within the time window.
Not that this means anything. The chances of me winning is very slim but at least there is now some hope. All the other times I had absolutely no hope of winning because my entry didn't count.
@cengland0: No worries, I've gone 9 for 9 with these things and we still have the exact same chance of winning in the end.
Just ended..good luck everyone.
This reminds me of a comic joke:
POC#9 Sent an email out to lucky # 1876 out of 2544 entries!:
I didn't get an email so I'm one of the unlucky people. Too bad, lost hope again. In a short bit, I'm going to curl up in the corner of my office in the fetal position for a few moments while I cry.
@cengland0: We're talking about crap here...shouldn't it be the "fecal" position? :)
@jsimsace: I see what you did there.
As for me, I can't get Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me out of my head. (Now you know, and you've probably got it stuck in your head too.)
@inkycatz: damnit inkycatz, I think you owe me crap for getting it stuck in my head :)
@natedogg828: They don't let me near that stuff. Alas!
@inkycatz: then please send me some non crap or monkeys that did not survive yesterdays great monkey war, figured the slight Rocky Horror reference would be worth something

When venturing out into the wilderness, what is the most important thing I should bring?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Out of all the things that I listed bellow I think the most important is warm clothing and a water container. A knife you can make by splinting hard rock. Remember you need this (in order of importance):
Cordage you can make from cambium or any other natural source suitable for that purpose.
You can make fire by building fire bow-drill. You got the knife and cordage you already made for it.
You can create filter from articles of clothing suspended on tripod. After you are done filtering the water you should boil it as well.
You can build debris shelter in your camp instead for lugging around tent.
You could do with a lot less but I found this to be OK comfort zone.

This is the original 12-fret dreadnought shape, first designed as an oversized Hawaiian guitar almost a century ago. We've retained the shape and wide neck with slotted headstock from that bygone era, but our DS models are thoroughly modern guitars with a unique sound all their own. The longer body, with the bridge closer to the center of the lower bout, delivers an open, airy tone with smoothness and warmth not typically found in modern, 14-fret dreadnoughts. Whether flatpicked or played fingerstyle, these guitars have lots of headroom and the wide dynamic range invites everything from mellow accompaniment to biting leads.
