Segregation persists via Medicaid
Does the treatment of seniors and the disabled in America more closely reflect George Wallace's vision of America, or does it directly reflect the view of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "dream" for America? This year marks the 50th anniversary of two famous speeches given by their respective speakers. The speeches reflect distinctive views of America and her religious values.

In a previous question of mine I was told to use the
textcomp package if I wanted Old Style Numbers with
tgtermes. I wanted to know if there were options I could use with it, so I went to it's ctan page, which has the following note:
The package supports the Text Companion fonts, which provide many text symbols (such as baht, bullet, copyright, musicalnote, onequarter, section, and yen), in the TS1 encoding.
Note that the package has been adopted as part of the LaTeX distribution; the reference here is to the original package, which is now little used (if at all).
Does that mean I'm using it wrong? I just loaded it as I would any other package:
Is this wrong? If so, how should I be loading it? If correct, where do I look to get documentation on it?

(CNN) -- The Syrian Foreign Ministry said Monday the country has chemical or biological weapons, but would never use them against its citizens -- only against foreign attackers.
"Any stocks of (weapons of mass destruction) or any unconventional weapon that the Syrian Arab Republic possesses would never be used against civilians or against the Syrian people during this crisis at any circumstance, no matter how the crisis would evolve," ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi told reporters.
"All the stocks of these weapons that the Syrian Arab Republic possesses are monitored and guarded by the Syrian army. These weapons are meant to be used only and strictly in the event of external aggression against the Syrian Arab Republic," he said Monday.
The United States called for Syria to never use the weapons and keep them safely stored.

What's next for Syria's president?
Attack a major blow to Syrian regime
"I think we've been absolutely clear where we stand on this issue, which is that any possible use of these kinds of weapons will be completely unacceptable," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. "Any talk about any use of any kind of a weapon like that in this situation is horrific and chilling. The Syrian regime has a responsibility to the world, has a responsibility first and foremost to its own citizens to protect and safeguard those weapons."
Makdissi's remarks come after months of international chatter about whether foreign countries should intervene militarily to try to end more than a year of bloodshed in Syria. Another 130 people were killed around the country Monday, opposition activists reported.
Meanwhile, the Arab League will offer Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "a safe exit" if he resigns quickly and leaves the country, a senior Arab League official said, marking the latest attempt to get Syria's longtime ruler to step down.
The official provided no further details because the source is not authorized to speak to the media.
Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani did not discuss an exit plan when speaking with reporters after the Sunday meeting, but confirmed "there is an agreement on the need for the swift resignation" of al-Assad.
"We call on the opposition and the Free Syrian Army to form a government of national unity," Sheikh Hamad said.
Despite the Arab League's proposal, the brutal violence has not let up. At least 30 people were killed Monday, the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria said.
See images of the showdown in Syria
The Arab League would not be the first to offer an outlet for al-Assad.
Tunisia -- the cradle of the Arab Spring uprisings and the first country last year to oust its longtime ruler -- offered asylum to the Syrian president in February in an attempt to spare further bloodshed.
And the daughter of Qatar's emir has suggested exile in Doha, according to a cache of e-mails leaked to CNN earlier this year.
If al-Assad were to leave, he would follow a series of longtime rulers in the region who have succumbed to popular revolts since last year, including former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, deposed Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who stepped down in a transfer-of-power deal.
Rime Allaf, an associate fellow at the Chatham House in London, said she thinks Syrians opposed to al-Assad are split on the notion of a "safe exit" for the president.
"Some may want a way to save as many lives as possible, so if he leaves without prosecution, then so be it, as they think the matter of most urgency now is saving the Syrian people," said Allaf, a Syrian national.

"Others say it is impossible to let him leave. Not only would it let him get away with thousands of murders and the destruction of the country, but it also would give him a green light to keep on doing what's he's doing, knowing that when he decides to leave, he can leave."
Read more on preparing for al-Assad's exit
But Allaf said she thinks there is "absolutely zero" chance that the president will take up the Arab League's offer.
"I think Assad does not plan on ever accepting any possible plans for escaping or leaving," she said. "I think he will keep on fighting, hoping the revolution will stop."
The Syrian government has long maintained that "armed terrorist groups" are fueling violence in the country.
Responding to a question about clashes in Damascus, Makdissi said, "We are in a state of self-defense."
But he later added, "This is an exceptional matter. It will last a couple of days, and matters will return to normal."
On Monday, chaos ensued in cities across the country, opposition activists said.
In Homs, two people were killed "due to intense shelling by helicopters and rocket launchers, accompanied by intense clashes between the (rebel) Free Syrian Army and the regime army," the LCC said.
The LCC reported fierce clashes for a second day in Aleppo, a critical city in the Syrian crisis. Aleppo, the largest city and commercial hub of Syria, is akin to New York in the United States.
Both Aleppo and the capital city of Damascus -- longtime al-Assad strongholds -- came under heavy fighting Sunday, opposition activists said.
By the end of the day, the toll included 52 dead in and around Damascus, 20 in Daraa, and 15 each in Aleppo and Idlib, the LCC said.
CNN cannot independently confirm reports of violence because the government restricts access by foreign journalists.
In a video posted online Sunday, the head of the rebel Free Syrian Army in Aleppo announced an operation "to liberate the city of Aleppo from the rule of the Assad thugs, whose hands were blood-stained by heinous crimes against our people."
Brig. Gen. Abdel Jabbar Al-Obeidi also vowed to secure Aleppo and protect all minorities and sects, including the members of Alawite sect that the president belongs to.
If rebels eventually gain control of Aleppo, it would mark a pivotal point in the Syrian crisis and deal a heavy blow to al-Assad's financial ties.
The Syrian crisis started in March 2011, when a fierce government crackdown against protesters morphed into a nationwide uprising against the regime.
Video: How does Assad survive in Syria?
The United Nations estimates more than 10,000 people have been killed since the crisis began more than 16 months ago. But Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the office of the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, said the United Nations has not been giving out overall death toll numbers since December "because it became impossible to verify the numbers in any meaningful way."
Opposition groups tracking deaths have issued higher tolls. The LCC, for example, estimates more than 16,000 people -- mostly civilians -- have died.
In addition to the deaths, thousands of refugees have fled Syria into neighboring countries to escape the turmoil.
The three border crossings between Iraq and Syria were opened Monday to Syrian refugees, an Iraqi government spokesman said.
"The border guards, police and border provinces were guided to provide all the needed support to the Syrian refugees," Ali al-Dabbagh said in a written statement.
The United States will give Jordan $100 million in special economic aid to help ease the burden of hosting Syrian refugees, the U.S. Embassy in Jordan said Monday.

Tabbar --> ListView height problem
I'd need a hand on this problem.
I'm using Sencha Designer and I find it awesome, I created my beatiful tabbar, I created my store, everything is loaded correctly.
Now in "Views" I have on item: MyTabPanel. Great, inside that I have a TabBar and 3 items.
I associated to those 3 items a Panel, with a HTML code inside.
This works perfecty.
Now I want to put inside the first panel, instead of pure HTML, a DataView or a List.
They are loaded correctly from the Sencha Twitter post json file.
My question is: how I can give the DataView a 100% height, or, anyway, to resize automatically?
If I give 200pixel height, it's shown correctly and items are loaded. But I want to be 100%, from the TitleBar to the TabBar on the bottom!
I tried height: auto, height:100%. Nothing happens, simply it's not shown.
If I apply a fixed height, evertything works.
Is the Designer kidding me? Has it a sense of humour?
1 Mar 2012 6:50 AM #2
Addon: I tried also layout: { type: 'fit' } ... nothing
1 Mar 2012 8:47 AM #3

These things have a battery AND a battery charger. You wanted to verify why the battery went dead. If the charger is not working (or maybe is not even plugged in?) then the new battery will die too.
Check that power is getting to it. Check that the charger is working. Check all connections.

Baseball Drops Two to NewberryApril 19, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – Despite sealing a position into next week's Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament on Friday, Anderson University baseball was unable get into the win column for the series against conference foe Newberry, suffering the three-game set with two setbacks, 6-5 and 3-1, on Saturday afternoon at Anderson Memorial Stadium.
With the losses, the Trojans closed their league schedule with a 13-16 record and will enter the annual conference tournament as the No. 6 seed. The Wolves helped themselves out in seeding for the tournament as they moved to fourth place in the SAC standings with a 17-13 league mark. Overall, Newberry improves to 29-21.
The Wolves outhit the home side for all three games this weekend, 36-23, as they capitalized on their .340 batting average for the weekend series. Within Anderson's 23 hits for the series, the Trojans managed just three extra-base hits, including two doubles coming in the opening game of the day from sophomore first baseman Steven Cooper and senior catcher Jonathan Zalud.
Cooper closed the series with four hits, highlighted by a 3-for-5 performance in the opening contest. The first baseman was responsible for two RBI and a run scored in the one-run loss, snapping his longest hitless streak of the season.
Zalud joined Cooper and third baseman Garrett Bernardo as the only Trojans with hits in both games for the day, as Zalud has tallied a hit in six of his last seven games while hitting .517 and slugging .655 in the span. Bernardo, who scored a run in both games, is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak while scoring seven runs during the stretch.
Newberry's Ryan Cranmer posted a double in all three games for the weekend as he totaled a hit in each game after tallying a 4-for-5 performance on Friday. Right fielder JoJo Bradley paced the Wolf offense in the first game with a perfect 4-for-4 day with two runs scored and two RBI. In the latter game, shortstop DJ Martinez nabbed a team-high two hits and drove in the eventual game-winning run with a fourth inning single.
Despite the setbacks, Anderson will shift its focus to the SAC Tournament, scheduled to begin on Wednesday in Forest City, N.C. at McNair Field, home of the Coastal Plain League's Forest City Owls. The sixth-seeded Trojans will square off against top-seeded and regular season co-conference champions, Catawba, which tied Wingate for the league championship with identical 20-7 SAC records. First pitch against the Indians is scheduled for noon.
Before the Trojans begin their postseason, they will honor this year's seniors with Senior Day on Monday when AU welcomes Southern Wesleyan to Anderson Memorial Stadium. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m.

Work could be completed next week on the renovation of a chapel in the state Capitol.
Kentucky Finance Cabinet spokeswoman Pamela Trautner said Wednesday final touches are under way and could be wrapped by Dec. 7.
The chapel has been closed for the past year while crews worked to restore pews, lay floor tiles and construct a wall to separate the chapel from shelves of noisy communications equipment that had been hidden only by a curtain.
The Kiwanis Club of Frankfort originally opened the chapel in the 1960s in what had been a storage room on the second floor of the Capitol, across the hall from the office of the Kentucky chief justice.
Legislative chaplain Lee Watts said the chapel is routinely used by lawmakers.

Thanksgiving Turkey Traditions at the White House
6 of 10
Ronald Reagan
Turkeys chosen for the White House are usually fairly docile, but that wasn't the case in 1984. During the ceremonial speech, the turkey got right in President Reagan's face and flapped its wings, showing intense displeasure at the whole affair.
Turkey fact: Wild turkeys are the biggest game birds in North America. They can stand almost four feet tall and can run about 25 miles per hour.

Salvation Army Mourns Loss of Long-Time Friend & Board Member
The Salvation Army mourns the untimely passing of Board Member Charles Wyly, a well-known Dallas entrepreneur, philanthropist, and long-time supporter of The Salvation Army. He died in an auto accident in Aspen, Colorado on Sunday, August 7th.
"Charles Wyly's philanthropic works made a lasting impact on those less fortunate both here in Dallas and across the country. Charles served proudly on The Salvation Army's Advisory Board in Dallas for 40 years and on the National Advisory Board for almost a decade. His support for the Army and other nonprofits helped provide social services, education, health care and more to so many Americans over his lifetime. He was an inspiration and role model to me personally. His presence will be missed but not forgotten as his spirit continues to influence us all," said Charlotte Jones Anderson, National Advisory Board Chairwoman for The Salvation Army.
Wyly had a servant's heart. He dedicated his time and financial resources to charitable causes as varied as education, the arts, social services, health care, and human rights. He even rang bells for kettle donations at the Dallas Shopping Mall every Christmas.
He served as a Salvation Army Board Member with dedication for 40 years and was an active Life Member. He was on various committees over the years, and had served as Advisory Board Chairman. Most recently, he was on the Underwriting Committee for the 2011 Annual Doing the Most Good Luncheon, as well as the Performing Arts Committee and the Long-Range Plan Committee. In 2003, Charles was instrumental in securing a monumental grant from the W.W. Caruth, Jr. Fund of the Communities Foundation of Dallas, to provide three years of funding to support the implementation of a strategic long-range plan for The Salvation Army in Dallas. Wyly was also a member of The Salvation Army's national advisory board where he had served as Treasurer, and on the Executive Committee, Financial & Institutional Development Committee, and Business Administration Committee.
"Charles Wyly had a passion for business and innovation and a heart for supporting philanthropy and the less fortunate," said Major George Hood, National Community Relations & Development Secretary for The Salvation Army. "Over the years, Charles and his family were dedicated supporters of The Salvation Army, firmly believing in our Mission. Charles gave financially and he gave 40 years of experience and knowledge to The Salvation Army as a trusted friend. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family."
Along with his brother and business partner, Sam, he was at the forefront of innovation, progress, and success in areas as diverse as technology, retail, investment management, and energy. After graduating from Louisiana Tech University in 1956, Charles went to work for IBM where he set sales records. He was later a founder of USACafes and, for 23 years, active as a director of this franchisor, which built the Bonanza Steakhouse restaurant chain to over 600 units. He was a founder and served as vice chairman for 16 years of Sterling Software, Inc., an international computer software company, and he served as a director of Sterling Commerce, Inc. Charles was co-founder and past chairman of Michaels Stores, Inc., the nation's leading arts-and-crafts retail chain operating over 1,000 stores in 48 states and Canada.
Wyly was a faithful Christian and a loyal supporter of the Salvation Army. He will be sincerely missed by all.

I'm facing a problem after upgrading to sencha 2.1. I downloaded the latest fix for 2.1 from your code.
The problem I'm facing is that if I have your slider on the same page as other sliders on my page, then the other slider don't take their initial assigned values. Let's say they are from -10 to 10. And I give it a value of 0. So it will be initialized with the slider all the way to the left. But as soon as I comment out the code from your slider at the bottom, they come in the center.
5 Dec 2012 7:38 AM #22
Do you have sample code of your implementation
18 Jul 2013 10:23 AM #23
The plugin works great except for one thing - if i change the value of the slider via slider.setValue() the slider thumb updates to a new position but the sliderfill color does not - any chance you can provide an update to the plugin?
Last edited by eyepoker; 18 Jul 2013 at 10:25 AM. Reason: typo
18 Jul 2013 8:28 PM #24
I haven't looked in to the plugin for so long, let me try to get some time .
19 Jul 2013 7:01 AM #25
I started a discussion on the topic thinking to get input on my code - please review the thread before spending your time looking at the plugin - http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?268098-SliderFill-not-updating-when-using-slider.setValue()
admins: sorry for the duplicate topics...
26 Jul 2013 9:55 PM #26
I have updated to sencha touch 2.2.1.
Also updated demo with a button to update single slider.
It works for me.
29 Jul 2013 9:43 AM #27
thanks, V2 is updating albeit a little slowly on my desktop running chrome - when the handle position updates the sliderfill takes a few miliseconds to follow it. Is there any way to get sliderfill to update a little faster?
30 Jul 2013 12:03 PM #28
The slowness is happening only if we tap or change the value using setValue, drag looks fine.
If you look into init function there is listener for change event.
I'm using reference to thumb inside that, although its changed the thumb position refers to previous one. That's why i'm using a delay of 200, which creates the slowness.
Try this inside defer and outside and tap the single slider component, you will see the difference.

Plaque marks Chicago site of Obamas� first kiss
CHICAGO � Barack Obama first kissed the woman who would become his wife outside a Chicago ice cream shop � and now there�s a plaque to prove it.
The managers of a shopping center in the city�s Hyde Park neighborhood installed the 3,000-pound granite marker this week with a plaque reading: �On this site President Barack Obama first kissed Michelle Obama.�
The plaque includes a picture of the first couple and a quote taken from an interview the president gave to O, The Oprah Magazine describing their first date.
�On our first date, I treated her to the finest ice cream Baskin-Robbins had to offer, our dinner table doubling as the curb. I kissed her, and it tasted like chocolate,� the plaque reads.
The sweet smooch happened in 1989 when the president treated the first lady to ice cream at a Baskin-Robbins, which is now a Subway restaurant. The boulder sits in a flower bed next to the shopping center.
�It�s a marker for the community, for posterity and tourism, too,� said Jonelle Kearney, a spokeswoman for Mid-America Asset Management, which manages the shopping center.
The Obamas will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in October. They have a home in the city�s Kenwood neighborhood, not far from the shopping center.
US woman appeals child support for adopted Russian
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. � An American woman who sent her adopted Russian son back to Moscow on a one-way flight is appealing court-ordered child support for him, saying she cannot afford to pay $1,000 a month.
Torry Hansen, who now lives in Redding, Calif., filed a notice of appeal Tuesday after a judge last month in Tennessee upheld his decision to order her to pay $150,000 in child support.
Hansen was living in Shelbyville in April 2010 when she sent then 7-year-old Artyom Saveliev back to Russia with a letter saying he had behavioral problems and she didn�t want him anymore.
In court records, Hansen says she is unemployed and has no income and asks the court to halt the child support while the case is appealed.

The race is being held in Potawatomi Park on Saturday, June 15, 2013.
The Jiggs Whigham pBone brings a fun and intriguing twist to the traditional trombone. Developed by accomplished trombonists, the pBone was designed to spark the interest in young children and promote interest in the art of brass playing. With its plastic construction, this lightweight instrument sounds remarkably like brass trombones. The pBone is being used by professionals, amateurs, and students alike. pBone is a fun way to catch the eye and ear of any audience, as will be demonstrated at Potawatomi Park this weekend.
pBone is a colorful, fully functional small bore trombone. To find out more about the resilient construction, remarkable durability, dimensions and available colors visit www.jiggspbone.com.

The Next 3 Volumes…
The next 3 volumes on my influential book list are the first 3 stitch dictionaries by Barbara Walker. Yes, I know there's a fourth, but somehow I missed that one in my design upbringing. I learned so much from these books, I'm sure I can't fully do them justice. I learned textural stitches, mosaic knitting and cable charts. I learned about repeats and half drops and drawing with stitches. I learned by knitting. At one point, if someone mentioned a certain kind of stitch I could go right to the volume, right to the page where it was found. Even after I began designing with pattern stitches I made up myself, an occasional refresher course in the old standards livened up my repertoire. I have to admit that volume III is my favorite because I would so much rather follow a chart than lose my place in words any day.
Gorgeous flower – it fits in beautifullly to the Winter White Week that a variety of bloggers ( me included ) have been doing. Have a look at http://theglassdoorknob.blogspot.com/ for lots of bloggy whitenessJanuary 26, 2008
I love all 4 of BW's books. The 4th one is a great read on knitted shapes and really freed me from a need for a pattern all the time. Santa brought Knit Visualizer software for Christmas and I have been charting some of the patterns, mostly lace, from Books 1&2. Love it.January 26, 2008

I got the first two Barbara Walker books over 40 years ago with $$ my Great Aunt Marian gave me for Christmas. I love them both passionately. I have used the patterns extensively these past 40+ years and added #3 about 10 years ago (may add #4 one of these days). You can do project after project with just those books–I stick the stitches in any basic sweater or vest or use the lace to make a shawl and what more do I really need (though that has never really stopped me from buying more and more–I am a knitting junky after all or I wouldn't be here on this forum).February 2, 2008

How many circles (radius $r$) are needed to cover circle whose radius is $2$ times bigger (radius $2r$).
I think we need to use area which is $S=\pi R^2$ but I don't really know what to do.
This is a disk covering problem. As you have stated it, it is not quite as difficult as some others.
The first task is to find the minimum number of small circles which cover the circumference of the bigger circle rather than the whole area. If this is $m$ then it will be impossible to have a regular $m$-gon with edges of length $2r$ fitting strictly inside the circle of radius $2r$. This implies $m \ge 6$.
It turns out to be just possible to cover the circumference of the bigger circle with 6 smaller circles, and ignoring symmetries there is only one way to do it (you get a regular hexagon whose vertices lie on the bigger circle and whose edges are diameters of the smaller circles). But this leaves an uncovered area in the middle, which needs at least one (and in fact exactly one) more.
So the answer is seven smaller circles.

Best Books, Part II
To supplement the magazine's Books of the Year post, here's my own personal list.
Rachel Kushner, The Flamethrowers. Absurdly confident, absolutely convincing. Kushner's novel moves effortlessly between topics (conceptual art, Italian radical politics, motorcycle racing) and time periods and locations (1970s NYC, early twentieth-century Italy, midcentury Brazil).
Caleb Crain, Necessary Errors. Crain's first novel is very much in the vein of Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady, not so much because it's about a young, innocent American abroad (although it's about that, too) but because it's about the drama and danger of knowledge—how we define ourselves by what we withhold from others. On a sentence-by-sentence basis, Necessary Errors is the most intelligent and lyrical novel of the year.
Aminatta Forna, The Hired Man. Forna's haunting novel, which concerns a Croatian village and its buried past, reveals its riches slowly. It's an example of just how much structural subtlety and stylistic restraint can achieve.
Claire Messud, The Woman Upstairs. Another work of restraint, though of a different kind. Messud tells the story of Nora Eldridge, a middle-aged woman who is unexceptional in everything except her barely controlled rage at the world and those who have betrayed her. The Woman Upstairs is the angriest—and, in its anger, the most exhilarating—book that I read this year.
Renata Adler, Speedboat and Pitch Dark. These novels, originally published in 1976 and 1983 respectively, have just been re-issued by New York Review Books. There's a reason that David Foster Wallace regularly assigned Adler's fiction when he taught at Pomona. Adler's work is something very rare: experimental fiction that is also a pleasure to read.
Novels that were published in 2013 that I can't wait to read: Norman Rush, Subtle Bodies; Kate Atkinson, Life After Life; Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch; Adelle Waldman, The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.
George Scialabba, For the Republic. I hate it when critics describe a book as "necessary"—necessary to whom? and why?—but that's the only word that comes to mind for Scialabba's sharp arguments about literature, government, and political economy.
Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby. Solnit is an intellectual magpie, raiding fairy tales, contemporary art, political history, and anthropology in order to examine the nature of narrative. The book wends this way and that, now talking about Che Guevara, now about Hans Christian Anderson, but it always returns to its central claim: that humans are, and always will be, storytelling animals.
Daniel Mendelsohn, Waiting for the Barbarians. Scott Moringiello said it best here.
Christian Wiman, My Bright Abyss. Paul K. Johnston said it best here.
Non-fiction books that were published in 2013 that I can't wait to read: Hermione Lee, Penelope Fitzgerald: A Life (published in the UK); George Packer, The Unwinding; Linda Leavell, Holding On Upside Down: The Life and Work of Marianne Moore
Best Book That I Read This Year That Wasn't Published in 2013
Everything by Penelope Fitzgerald, but especially The Blue Flower. My wife has been begging me to give Fitzgerald a try for a long time. I should have listened sooner. Fitzgerald is often compared to Jane Austen, Barbara Pym, and other distinctively British—and female—comic novelists. But she strikes me as more like Tolstoy: aware of the comedy and drama of philosophical speculation, able to create characters who seem alive in their vitality, their suggestiveness, and their ultimate indecipherability. A good goal for 2014: make your way through Fitzgerald's nine novels. They're all short (usually under 200 pages) and they're all brilliant.

I have "The Goldfinch" to read over winter break, but not sure about Messud's "The Woman Upstairs." It has appeared on a lot of "recommended" lists, but I didn't care much for her earlier "The Emperor's Children." Hope you will review "The Woman Upstairs."
Also downloaded "Hild" by Nicola Griffith, a YA novel (fat one) about the life of St. Hilda of Whitby. The anachronistic cover does not make me hope for the best; I fear a "Mists of Avalon" treatment. But those 7th Century Anglo-Saxon abbesses deserve to be better known, and I've always thought Hilda's life especially would make an interesting novel.
I'm planning on reading The Goldfinch over break, too--nothing beats a big, fat, Dickensian read over the holidays. You should at least give The Woman Upstairs a shot. For what it's worth, it's nothing at all like The Emperor's Children. (And yes, I'm reviewing Messud in an upcoming column.)
Hild is also on my list largely because I loved the anachronistic cover! I've heard very good things about it.
Griffith, I understand, is a sci-fi writer; will be interesting to see how she handles hagiography.
She'll have to extrapolate a lot in any case. The earliest and most accurate accounts of Hilda's life are restricted to a few lines in the A-S Chronicle and what looks to be a careful and largely factual account in Bede's Historia. Tom Cahill offers a nod to her first-rate scriptorium in his fanciful "How the Irish Saved Civilization," but gives the credit for it to the Irish church missionaries.
What I find interesting is that accounts of St. Hilda's life were less subject to more frivolous accretions than those of her contemporaries. Poor St. Werburgh of Chester's claim to fame is the restoration to life of a goose eaten by her steward (today there's a kind of balloon float commemorating this event in the St. Werbergh's festival there). Which is a shame because St. Werburgh must have been a tireless administrator. Plus she lived on the Welsh marches among those wild-ass Mercians, which couldn't have been a big picnic most of the time.
Sorry to co-opt your thread. I wish there were a Catholic book club where I could get excited talking about this to "real" people.
The places where you cheat are wher I most agree with you: Penelope Fitzgerald and Renata Adler. It's great that Alder has gotten this bump. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/jul/07/renata-adler-new-york-author-interview
Allow me to add another "necessary" book: TJ Clark's Picasso and Truth. I don't actually think that t is successful in its main goals, but that actually doens't depreciate its value that much.
Working my way through the run up to WWI, so have read The Sleepwalkers by Christopher Clark and The War that Ended Peace by Margaret McMillan. Both excellent, Sleepwalkers best. Now reading Catastrophe 1914 by Max Hastings--full of rambunctious opinion and went back to The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman (on the recommendation of some here). Opening chapter spectacular (speaking of Dickensian), but the battlefield scenes are densely written and the maps indecipherable.
And speaking of Dickensian: I stood in the bookstore looking through The Goldfinch. Its heft may approach Bleak House, but not the writing. Am I wrong?
My husband received The Goldfinch in the Powell's bookclub shipment a month or so go. He motored through it, so I'm going to try and read it over Christmas. He received The Best of McSweeney's in this month's shipment, which I think will make for a good vacation read, too.
Jean, I'm attracted to the book for exactly that reason--I want to see how a SF writer deals with this material.
Abe, I'm glad that you love Fitzgerald/Adler, too. It's hard to imagine that Adler's novels were out of print. I'm a huge fan of Clark's pieces for the London Review of Books, so I'll have to check out the book. Any other suggestions?
Margaret, not having read The Goldfinch yet, I sense that it's Dickensian not in its prose style but in its intricate, expansive plotting and in its heavy reliance on coincidence.
I thought I had a few more, but I realize now that they're 2012.
The best non-fiction book I read this year was Will Rogers: A Political Life, by Richrd D. White, Jr.
I'm thinking about buying Joe Sacco's The Great War: July 1, 1916: The First Day of the Battle of the Somme.
Illustrated across a single, wordless 24-foot-long accordion-fold page, Sacco details—and detail is the right word—the situation on July 1, 1916, as British troops meet the Germans at the Battle of the Somme in France.
Oh, wait--this book dropped in 2012, but at the very end. Here are a lot of 1-star Amazon reviews:
Not as good as 2011's I Want My Hat Back.
Have you seen the sequel, This Is Not a Hat, by Rene Magritte?

For $C,D$ small categories, and $f : C \to D$ a functor between them, there is a precomposition, or "inverse image", functor $f^* = (-) \circ f : Set^D \to Set^C$. It has a left and a right adjoint. What are their definitions, and in particular what is the right adjoint $f_*$? I couldn't find a definition in terms of functor categories, just "topological" ones.
How is the right adjoint $f_*$ to the inverse image functor $f^*$ described for functor categories $Set^C$, $Set^D$ and $f : C \to D$
Given a functor $f:\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D}$ and any complete category $\mathcal{A}$ (e.g., take $\mathcal{A}=\text{Sets}$ to get the case you are asking about), there exists a right-adjoint $f_{\*}:[\mathcal{C},\mathcal{A}]\to[\mathcal{D},\mathcal{A}]$ to the "inverse image functor" $f^{*}$ and this is given by taking right Kan extension.
Explicitly, given a functor $X:\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{A}$, the functor $f_{*}(X):\mathcal{D}\to\mathcal{A}$ is the right Kan extension of $X$ along $f$. This can be described explicitly using the limit formula $$f_{\*}(X)(d)=\text{lim}_{d\to f(c)}X(c)$$ for $d$ an object of $\mathcal{D}$ (the action on arrows of $\mathcal{D}$ is then induced by the universal property of limits). The indexing category of the limit here is of course the comma category $(d\downarrow f)$.
When $\mathcal{A}$ is cocomplete there is a corresponding left-adjoint $f_{!}\dashv f^{*}$ which is given by taking left Kan extension along $f$. This can be explicitly described by the colimit formula dual to the limit formula given above.
(I should say that all of this is described very nicely in Mac Lane's book Categories for the Working Mathematician.)

Arnold Schwarzenegger is also proficiant in firing an M-60 with one arm with perfect accuracy. He has also mastered holding and firing two assault rifles at the same time, WHILE dislodging a 8 foot pipe from a wall amd chucking it as if was a spear and impaling the one who was unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of the aforementioned pipe. Another noteworth mention, is that he can wipe out an entire army without even as much as a single scratch, as seen in the movie commando

How to Show "Less Is More"Thursday, May 27th, 2010
In my last few pieces, I went into some depth about how to teach children metaphor, all with the emphasis on shedding light on the old, favorite utterance among English and Creative Writing instructors alike: "Show me, don't tell me."
And, since I assert most teachers never really stop to think about how to explain what that odd phrase actually means [nor can they—usually—do it very well, themselves], I thought the subject needed to be explored some more, and then broken down into parts we can all understand, enabling those of us who find ourselves teaching children better qualified to make "show don't tell" actually make some sense! And, hopefully, I was able to stimulate your minds enough to help you teach such concepts, in regards to writing, to your students or your own children.
So now, I come upon another phrase often thrown around in writing—and other creative—classes, and that's the phrase:
Less is more. The phrase, evidently, is 19th century proverbial phrase, first found in print in Andrea del Sarto, 1855, a poem by Robert Browning.
But what, exactly, does it mean?
We grown-ups can understand the meaning easily enough, but how can we teach such an abstract idea to children? To a child, however, it's a nonsensical thing to say, and trying to explain the meaning can be tricky. I've thought about this quite a bit, and I've come to a determination about why less really is "more" when it comes to creative writing or story telling…er…storyshowing.
The phrase less is more is usually applied to the creating of a scene, description of something in a narrative, or other similar instances. So why is less more, and what does that mean?
Well, when describing…while storyshowing…we want our listeners or readers to feel like they're "there", as much as possible; we want to show and not tell them what's going on in such a way as to excite their imaginations, right?
Here's what I've come to realize about less is more:
When we give too many details or too much description, we actually [in my words] sort of steal or rob people's imaginations of the privilege of filling in details, in their minds, from past experiences; doing this makes the story less intriguing [at least for adults], and even to a large degree for kids, because our imaginations are usually more vivid than even the greatest description.
The thing is, it's not so important your reader or listener "see" the details exactly the same way as the writer has first imagined in his or her head [what writers who use too much detail typically are trying to do]; so long as the reader gets the important details to complete a picture in his or her mind, this makes for better storyshowing.
Here are a few examples:
Too much detail:
John was all muddy. His once white, Nike shoes with the electric blue stripes and matching blue laces were now covered in mud two inches thick, with little bits of grass sticking out here and there, and the mud was up past John's ankles, so that his socks were just as muddy as his Nike's, and the mud had spattered his legs, white shorts, and white T-shirt, with globs of mud and spots of muddy water stains made his shirt look kind of like a Dalmatian.
Notice how you "see" all of those details but, like misdirection in a magic trick, your imagination is focused ONLY on those details, and "misses" the bigger picture? That's what too much attention can do in just about any circumstance of life.
Now fewer details:
John looked like he'd stepped on a mud bomb. What made it worse was he had been dressed in white; white shoes, shorts, and T-shirt. Now his clothes looked kind of like a Dalmatian and he stank like the swamp.
See how the image of "…like he'd stepped on a mud bomb" allows your imagination to picture a mud "bomb" "explode" beneath some kid? The remaining, few details give you just enough to complete a picture that will be uniquely your own; you might even have someone in mind to "be" John.
The greatest novelists are known for their skill in using sparing, sketchy details when it comes to description, respecting the reader's imagination as the most important element in storyshowing. Children, in their excitement while writing stories, often overload with details, and most adults are probably just about as prone to this [natural] inclination.
If you can effectively teach your students to always incorporate LOOK, ASK, DECIDE, and FIND, in their own creative writing [I like the idea of making a poster visible in the classroom], as well as getting comfortable in using some basic simile and metaphor, they will quickly pick up on how to skillfully "show and not tell" and even do so by using less to make their stories more engaging.

I tried to compile all directories with the single sconscript file. But all object files are adding to my source directory only.
I am using this function:
If files_list contains the only file names then Obj files are generating @ variant directory.
If files_list contains the file path names then Obj files are generating @ source directory.
Can you tell me how to do this?

I've been trying to switch over to PowerShell from my old favorite 4NT. It's missing a lot of niceties that 4NT has been adding over the last 20 years (I'm an old 4DOS user).
For example, in 4NT if you type a few letters then hit up/down, then the history list is filtered by what you typed. Page up/down does a popup with all matches and you can cursor through them. All in the console window space, no GUI. This is a big time-saver that I miss. There are many other things like this missing from powershell.exe.
Are there any alternatives to powershell.exe that perhaps have features like this, that really take advantage of the console environment? I realize there are a lot of GUI-based tools that embed PowerShell as a pane, but I'm really interested in a cmd.exe/4nt.exe replacement that stays as a 100% console application (except for maybe an options dialog or whatever).

5 Horrifying Tales Of 911 Incompetence
We all laugh when some nutjob calls 911 because McDonald's ran out of McNuggets. But the world is full of crazy people, they all own phones and 911 is the one number they all know. We shouldn't be surprised.
No, the horror stories happen when regular folk in an emergency call 911 and find the craziness happening at the other end of the line. For instance. . .
#5. Nashville Operator Doesn't Give a Shit
People have been known to call 911 for some pretty stupid reasons: keys locked in the car, slow traffic, loud fireworks, knife wielding ex-boyfriends breaking in the house threatening to kill them. Whoa! That last one doesn't seem to fit the description at all! But when Sheila Jones called 911 in Nashville to report that very thing, the response she received was akin to what one might expect if calling an emergency line to report an ingrown toenail.
After her first call went unanswered, Jones called back and got fantastic news. Officers had been dispatched, but another more important call came in, so they answered that first.
What could be more important than a potential stabbing? A traffic stop, of course! A traffic stop that, in the interest of maintaining our faith in humanity, we will assume was of the GTA IV variety, involving multiple gunshots and at least one person that had burst into flames.
But the shenanigans don't stop there. Jones made a third call after more than two freaking hours had passed with no sign of help. After the call ended--but with tape still rolling--we hear the last damned thing you want to hear when you call 911..."I really just don't give a shit what happens to you."
So, What Happened?
Fortunately, Jones's boyfriend never did get around to actually killing her, presumably because even he started feeling sorry for her after the police failed to show. She did eventually get police to respond to her call, but only after contacting the fucking mayor's office.
When a local news affiliate got wind of the story, they investigated and uncovered the not a shit giving 911 operator's antics. He was immediately fired. At least we hope it was immediate, but don't count on it.
#4. Memphis 911 Operator Falls Asleep on the Job
As anyone who has ever worked a customer service gig can attest, the general public is, for the most part, pretty damn boring. Sure, you get calls from the occasional basket case who threatens to end your shit with a chainsaw unless you reverse that $5 late fee, but mostly it's just mundane questions about things you don't care about. You would think this would not be the case for, say, a 911 operator. The constant stream of calls about gunshots, robberies and out of control chimpanzee attacks would be enough to keep anyone on their toes, right?
We use this pic whenever we can.
Apparently, it is not, as evidenced by a Memphis woman's experience when she called 911 to report that someone was tapping on her window:
Things begin with the woman explaining her situation to the 911 operator. The above news report then devolves into what looks like an infomercial for shitty emergency responder service.
If you call today, we'll ignore your plea for help for 15 full seconds, responding only with dead silence!
But we're not stopping there! Act right away, and we won't just double it...
Nope! If you call 911 today, we'll pass right the Hell out for one full minute!
If you listen close, you can actually hear dude snoring on the phone. He eventually wakes up and gets down to business by asking for the woman's address. The address she had already given him before he passed out.
So, What Happened?
After months of badgering by a Memphis reporter, an investigation into the call was finally launched. The operator on duty was suspended for seven days. That oughta show him! His supervisor was suspended for 20 days, because when you fall asleep at your job, it's totally your boss's fault.
As for the caller, she eventually got help, and we quote, "when she called another 911 agency." What? Like who, the A-Team? Spencer for Hire? Seriously, we're asking.
#3. Michigan 911 Operator Does Not Take Kindly to F-Bombs
People react to stress in various ways. Some people overeat, some people get throw-up drunk and some people curse like sailors when their 911 calls aren't answered in a timely manner. Understandable reactions, all of them, but be advised, depending on who answers your distress call, dropping the occasional f-bomb could have unintended consequences. Adrianne Ledesma of Lincoln Park, Michigan learned this lesson the hard way.
We're not quite sure where Lincoln Park is, but as this news story detailing her encounter with an easily offended 911 operator points out, residents there make over 14,000 911 calls each year. Based on those numbers, we're going to take a wild guess and say it's somewhere near Detroit.
Google Maps thinks so too!
In light of that, it's no surprise that when Adrianne Ledesma called 911, it took a few rings before someone was able to answer. After calling once and getting no answer, she hung up and called again. This time, it once again rang several times before anyone answered. Understandably frustrated, Ledesma blurted out "what the fuck?!" as the phone was ringing.
Because 911 calls begin recording before they are even answered, somehow, the operator on the other end heard the foul language. When Ledesma advised that she needed an ambulance and gave her address, the operator got right to the important business at hand: scolding the girl for cursing.
The teen responded to this ill-timed lecture the same way most any of us would.
Having apparently never been subjected to such unseemly behavior in his life, the 20-year veteran of the Lincoln Park Police Department on the other end of the call got things back on a more professional course by hanging up on the caller.
We're not emergency response professionals, but we maybe would have asked what the problem was before disconnecting the call. In case you're curious, the girl's father was on the floor having a seizure.
But the fun didn't stop there. After the teen called back, the officer continued on the moral highroad by asking if she was going to swear again before adding a nice pot-calling-the-kettle-black moment when he called her "a stupid ass."
Again, so taken back at the thought of a frantic teen having the audacity to curse, the officer still didn't ask what she was calling about and disconnected the call. This display of pointless bickering even continued through a third call in which the officer called her "a buffoon." It should go without saying that she was hung up on that time also.
So, What Happened?
There's good news and there is bad news. On the bright side, Officer Friendly finally did put in the call for help, although he was still unable to tell them exactly what they were being dispatched for. In keeping with his FCC like devotion to family friendly emergencies, he made sure to bring up the cursing when putting in the call.
Also, the father lived. As for the bad news, after her trifecta of failed attempts at summoning help for her ailing father, Adrianne Ledesma drove to the police station. Naturally, she was especially irate by this point. Because his douchebag meter goes well past 11, the officer she had been talking to came out and asked if she was the foul-mouthed girl he had been speaking to. When she acknowledged that she was, he immediately arrested her and charged her with "abusing 911," a charge that, according to the news story, doesn't actually exist.
The officer got off with a two-week unpaid suspension and "training." To whomever is in charge of his training, yeah, good luck with that.

It seems as though many consider ZF to be the foundational set of axioms for all of mathematics (or at least, a crucial part of the foundations); when a theorem is found to be independent of ZF, it's generally accepted that there will never be a proof of the theorem one way or another. My question is, why is this? It seems as though ZF is flawed in a number of ways, since propositions like the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis are independent of it. Shouldn't our axioms of set theory be able to give us firm answers to questions like these? Yes, the incompleteness theorems say that we'll never develop a perfect set of axioms, and many of the theorems independent of our axioms will probably be quite interesting, but is ZF really the best we can do? Is there hard evidence that ZF is the "best" set theory we can come up with, or is it merely a philosophical argument that ZF is what set theory "should" look like?
Very few mathematicions these days wish to base their mathematics on ZF without the axiom of choice, as your question seems to imply. Yes, there is an intuitionist school about which I don't know a whole lot, but they seem to be quite the minority. So let's consider ZFC. I think the main philosophical argument for it is that the axioms seem obviuosly true, if you are willing to believe that such things as infinite sets exist in some fashion, and that nobody has been able to come up with an equally obviously "true" statement about sets that is not a consequence of these axioms. The independence of the continuum hypothesis doesn't seem to bother people much, since to most of us it doesn't seem either obviously true or obviously false. Though some people are working on settling it by finding other axioms that will at least be considered likely true or at least useful. There was a recent article in the Notices about these efforts, in fact. But is there "hard evidence" that ZFC is the best we can come up with? Not by most mathematicians' standards I think, but there seems to be plenty of soft evidence.
I might add that many working mathematicians (I am talking here mostly about analysts, since they are the people I know best) don't care one whit about these questions, but happily go about their business using Zorn's lemma whenever it seems necessary and never let it bother them. And there are some who would rather base all mathematics on category theory rather than ZFC set theory, but that is not my cup of tea, so I will leave it unstirred.
There is a very active ongoing debate within set theory about whether mathematics needs new axioms, and philosophers of mathematics are weighing in on all sides. Relevant considerations include many very deep topics in set theory, including independence, forcing and the large cardinal hierarchy. Some of these topics are at once highly technical and philosophical at the same time. It is fair to say that there is an emerging field called the philosophy of set theory that is grappling precisely with these issues.
Let me try to mention just a few of the considerations. First, the historical fact remains that the ZFC axioms are sufficiently powerful to carry out almost all of the construction methods that arise in mathematics outside set theory. Indeed, the ZFC axioms are provably far more powerful than necessary for the vast majority of ordinary mathematics. This is proved by the stunning results of the field of Reverse Mathematics (see Steve Simpson, Harvey Friedman etc.), which calculates for a huge collection of classical mathematical theorems exactly which axioms are needed to prove them. Reverse Mathematics proceeds by proving the axioms from the theorem as well as the theorem from the axioms (over a very weak base theory), thereby showing the necessity of those axioms, and it turns out that most all of the classical theorems of mathematics can be proved in relatively weak theories.
Nevertheless, within set theory, set theorists have discovered the ubiquitous independence phenomenon, by which an enormous number of set-theoretical assertions turn out to be independent of the ZFC axioms. This means that they are neither provable nor refutable in ZFC. We now have thousands of instances of fundamental set theoretic propositions that are known to be independent of ZFC. This includes almost any nontrivial statement of infinite cardinal arithmetic (such as the Continuum Hypothesis), as well as an enormous number of statements in infinite combinatorics, and so on. This phenomenon supports the view that ZFC is a weak theory, unable to decide these questions.
But of course, by the Incompleteness Theorem we know that any theory we can write down will exhibit this independence phenomenon. It is impossible in principle to avoid it.
Large cardinals are strong axioms of infinity, some of which go back to the time of Cantor (so they are not new), which are not provable in ZFC and which transcend ZFC in consistency strength, forming a vast hierarchy of consistency strength above it. Thus, they tend to make up for the weakness of ZFC (although there remains extensive independence even with large cardinals). Some set theorists make the case that the existence of large cardinals have numerous attractive regularity consequences, even for low down for sets of reals, that they seem to point the way towards the finally true set theory, which must remain elusively hidden from us because of the Incompleteness theorem. Making sense (or nonsense) of this view is a central concern of the emerging Philosophy of Set Theory.
People use whatever is most useful. ZFC just happens to be a fairly simple formalization of the way people think of sets such that we can eliminate imprecision sufficiently to do good mathematics. There are no "theorems" independent of ZFC in ZFC. CH is not a theorem in ZFC. Choice isn't either, but on the other hand choice is useful so everyone uses it. If you don't accept the axiom of choice then you can't have things like arbitrary products, and for some strange reason studying infinite products is actually very useful to practicing mathematicians.
That's not to say that studying things like CH isn't useful. I think it is, but right now it's just not pertinent to most mathematicians.
This answer is essentially a Joel's version by another route.
ZF(C), possibly with appropriate large cardinal axioms, is one of the three most important formal axiomatisations in the foundations of mathematics, because it is foundationally complete (Friedman 1997):
There is Freiling's axiom of symmetry (AX) it is equivalent to the negation of the continuum hypothesis more on this is here:
For a categorical foundation of mathematics look here:
ZFC is only "standard" because it (or conservative extensions of it like Universes) allows us to do pretty much whatever we want. However, recent developments in higher category theory have led some to call for a new "set theory" (mentioned above) that categorifies the classical theory of sets and cleanses the "evil" from it. (Evil, of course, in the sense of considering objects up to equality rather than isomorphism.)
It seems unlikely, to me at least, that someone will be able to develop a useful alternative set theory that isn't equivalent to or stronger than ZFC, the operative word there being useful. That is, we don't want whole edifices of mathematical thought falling into the ocean under our new set theory.
I think, the worst thing that can happen to mathematics is to impose some dogma onto it. And the worst kind of dogmas are those concerning foundations. It is in the essence of mathematics that an object has its existence justified as soon as it is clear that this object is well-defined. And that´s really all about it. There is no usefulness or appropriateness or 'better' when it comes down to laying the foundations. For axioms are not subordinated to their implications. As for the so called 'intuition', the latter tells me that $\mathbb{Q}$ has greater cardinality than $\mathbb{N}$... In other words I don´t see a single reason why we shouldn´t have 'multiple' mathematics, each based on its foundations, each equally justified!
I am a bit uncomfortable with your wording; you say "it seems that ZF is flawed" or "ZF is the "best" set theory we can come up with?"…
I don't think that the words "flawed" and "best" are suitable… Mathematics is what mathematicians do, just as Art is what artists do and there are lots of mathematicians doing lots of mathematics.
Some are interested in ZF others in Elliptic curves. Considering ZF as a foundation for "all of mathematics" is like considering music as a foundation of "all of art" or Physics as a foundation of "all of science"… Mathematics, Art, Science, Philosophy… have no foundation or if you prefer studying foundation*s* is just one of the many branches of a "discipline" one of many things done by human beings for pleasure.
The fact that axiom of choice is independent of ZF and the fact that one might want to consider this axiom as true is just a very interesting question about the hidden puzzles of choice and infinity precisely sort of puzzles that stimulate, motivate and inspire those who like to study them. Wanting to have a framework that settles this precise question might excite some but bore others.
Personally I think that event the "finite version of the axiom choice" needs thought…

Egypt Laws
Hotel Injury, Real Estate, Family, Business and Tax are the most hot issues on the surface of the legal community in Egypt.
Many of the questions and queries, hundreds of lawyers with different answers but no clear vision.
Cairo, Sharm el Sheikh, Hurghada, Alexandria and many other cities in Egypt full of resident, investors, tourists, purchasers has a serious legal needs.
How to know the right answers?
How do we get answers to FAQ?
How to make sure that the source of legal information is reliable?
Egyptian Laws may refer to:
The Egyptian Civil Code is the primary source of civil law for the Egypt.
The first version of Egyptian Civil Code was written in 1949 containing 1149 articles. The prime author of the 1949 code was Abdel-Razzak Al-Sanhuri,a jurist who received assistance from Dean Edouard Lambert of the University of Lille. Perhaps due to Lambert's influence, the 1949 code followed the French civil law model. The code focus on the regulation of business and commerce, and does not include any provisions regarding family law which is usually handled through Shari'a. Sanhuri purposely left out family law and succession to set it apart from the Turkish civil code.
The code also provides for Islamic law(shari'a) to have a role in its enforcement and interpretation. Article 1 of the code provides that, "in the absence of any applicable legislation, the judge shall decide according to the custom and failing the custom, according to the principles of Islamic Law. In the absence of these principles, the judge shall have recourse to natural law and the rules of equity." Despite this invocation of Islamic law, one commentator has argued that 1949 code reflected a "hodgepodge of socialist doctrine and sociological jurisprudence."
The Egyptian Judicial System (or judicial branch) in Egypt, is an independent branch of the government which includes both secular and religious courts.
The Egyptian judicial system is based on European, primarily French, legal concepts and methods. Under the several governments during the presidency of Hosni Mubarak, the courts have demonstrated increasing independence, and the principles of due process and judicial review have gained greater respect.
The legal code is derived largely from the Napoleonic Code. Marriage and personal status are primarily based on the religious law of the individual concerned. Thus, there are three forms of family law in Egypt: Islamic, Christian, and secular (based on the French family laws).
The Egyptian State Lawsuits Authority is an Egyptian judicial institution that resembles, in respect of competencies, the Attorney General in common law disciplines and particularly the United States Solicitor General.
The Egyptian State Lawsuits Authority had been established in 1874 prior to the establishment of the Egyptian national courts in 1883.
The Authority represents the interests of the state in a variety of areas before national and international courts and arbitral tribunals. Under the applicable law, the Egyptian State Lawsuits Authority is granted the power to proceed to plead on behalf of the state even if the state itself does not like to do so and vice versa.

I'm playing with stealthy type character and I wonder if I take companion ,will hostile NPC attack us if they see my companion?
Your companion will auto-sneak too when he sees you sneaking, but it might be best to instruct him to stay and wait around a corner while you clear the area. If an enemy sees him, they indeed will attack him, and possibly discover you too afterwards.
I am playing a sneaking characters as well, and just as Konerak stated, they will auto sneak with you.
However, it's worthwhile to note that their sneak is as good as yours is, and they do not add any noise, just another body, so if you can stay hidden, the two of you won't be heard.
Also, even if your companions gets attacked, if you're still hidden, they won't find you (they'll look for you, but you'll be able to stay hidden) so you're not directly linked.
As far as friendly NPCs are concerned, they don't notice nor care about your companion, so if you're pickpocketing or something, your companion is essentially invisible.
I have found that if you do the dark brotherhood quests and at (the end or almost end) you have the choice to kill Cicero or not to kill him. If you don't kill him, you have the option to have him as a companion. His specialty is sneak.
Most every NPC will screw you over other than Cicero and whatever NPC's you can find that have changeable armor because then you could of course just outfit them with some sneak enchanted armor. But I wouldn't take any of the companions from Whiterun, they will always get you caught. The Companion with the best chance is the Huntress.
One of the best "stealth" companions are both the Dark Brotherhood Initiates, and Serena from the Dawnguard installment. The only problem I've encountered while sneaking is having to deal with when your character comes in close contact with your follower which will cause them to step back and occasionally compromise your location. With some practice, you'll be able to ghost multiple enemies before your follower even reaches you. More importantly, the Dark Brotherhood Initiates will more often than not use whatever you give them and they can reach level 100.

We are just weeks away from spring according to ranking ground hogs who admit to not seeing their shadows last Saturday. It's hard to visualize spring when you still have frost on your butt from the last several weeks. This past Sunday I was scraping Saturday's contribution of winter joy off the driveway. Reaching down I picked up a small branch that has been laying by the side of the approach and after straightening up I took one step and then I was hugging the brick of the driveway. I laid there until the dog came over and offered to lick my face. It wasn't easy getting up but I made it. Gone are the days when you care if anyone saw you. A check to see if everything was still working and that nothing was broken before trying to finish the job that was started. I moved slower than the normal slow.

What are matrix coefficients in linear algebra? And what does it mean "integer matrix coefficients"?
Matrix coefficients are the entries of the matrix. Integer matrix coefficients is just a matrix with integer entries.
Note: there is a big difference between the terms "matrix coefficient" and "coefficient matrix". I'll explain first what you are probably asking about:
Coefficient matrix
Suppose you have a system of equations:
$$\begin{align*} 1\cdot x_1 + 2x_2 &= 16\\ 3x_1 + 1\cdot x_2 &= 4 \\ \end{align*} \tag{1}$$
$(I)$ Then the coefficient matrix (in this case, with integer entries) corresponding to this system of linear equations in $(1)$ is:
$$M = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2\\ 3 & 1\\ \end{bmatrix} $$ where the entries in first column represents the coefficients of the $x_1$, and those in the second column the coefficients of $x_2$, etc..
The augmented coefficient matrix $M_a$ would include the entries in a third column which correspond to the values at the right of the equals signs in $(1)$:
$$M_a = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 &\;|\; 16\\ 3 & 1 &|\; 4\;\\ \end{bmatrix} $$
Matrix coefficient
$(2)$ On the other hand, this coefficient matrix contrasts with what is meant by a matrix coefficient. (Please read more at the given linked entry from Wikipedia: what follows is a brief excerpt from that entry.)

It is something Matt Mark never expected.
Not winning a baseball game as coach of the Caltech Beavers.
But, what followed after that win.
"I actually had to shut my phone off yesterday because I wanted to watch the Super Bowl," he said Monday night in a telephone conversation. "It's been fantastic for the school and been great for recruiting."
That win, 9-7 over Pacifica, in the second game of a doubleheader at home, snapped a 228-game losing streak for the Beavers, a Division III school in Pasadena. Caltech last posted an NCAA baseball win on Feb. 15, 2003, when it beat CSU-Monterey Bay 5-4. The win has put the program all over the nation, on "SportsCenter" and "PTI," and Mark has something scheduled on the MLB Network.
"It's been great for recruiting," said the 2002 Indian Creek graduate. "I've put about 12-14 athletes into our database."
Mark was named the ninth head baseball coach in the 103-year history of California Institute of Technology (Caltech) on Aug. 27.
This is not your average Division III NCAA program as 17 alumni and 14 non-alumni faculty at the Pasadena facility have won the Nobel Prize. The median SAT score is between 2200 and 2340.
"I want to win more than one game," he said with a laugh.
The Beavers held a 4-0 lead after four innings, but Pacifica plated seven in the fifth.
"That was a big fear of mine," Mark said. "We talked a lot about winning and competing. We talked about adversity and how a call might not go our way or a ball would take a bad hop and how we would respond to that adversity.
"Right there was a chance for the guys to show that they know how to win and they really answered the call. All the credit in the world to them."
Caltech scored five times in the bottom of the sixth and held on for the win.
"We talked about changing the culture," said Mark. "We talked about how the seniors had not won a game and we wanted to get a win for them and using that as a stepping stone to get to where we want to go throughout the season.
"We had a great practice today (Monday)."
Mark has 13 players in uniform and 12 for Sunday games because one is a Mormon.
"The one thing I learned coaching football and coaching in so many intrasquad scrimmages that you are never going to lose to yourself," he said. "We have 13 so it's going to be nine against four.
"Baseball is a crazy game because there are so many intangibles that happen during a game and we don't have a chance right now to see that during practices.
"I knew the guys were confident and I saw progression from Day 1 to Day 27. They were going the direction I wanted them to go."
The win came on the opening day of the season.
"There were alumni at the game who had never won a game in their career and came up to me and said, 'Coach, this means the world to me,'" said Mark. "The alumni support for our program is amazing. They are excited about the direction of the program."
Mark is a 2006 graduate of Washington & Jefferson with a bachelor of arts degree in business administration. He was a member of the baseball team for three years, and served a team captain for two seasons. Mark helped lead the Presidents to the Presidents' Athletic Conference championship in 2004 and 2006.
After graduation, he spent the 2007 season as the assistant baseball coach at W&J. While coaching the Presidents, Mark was involved in day-to-day situational analysis, field operation and recruiting as the squad won the conference championship.
He spent the 2007-08 campaign at Indian Creek as an assistant football coach under Andrew Connor and baseball coach under his former coach Mike Cottis, still the Redskins head baseball coach. Mark also served as a behavioral teacher.
Mark expected Caltech to win games.
"You expect to win," he said. "I've come from good programs. I want to win.
"I didn't think it would be like this. I am appreciative that it means that much to so many people.
"I remember sitting in coach (Joe) Dunlevy's class and he said that if someone had one hit in their career they could never be a .000 hitter.
"I thought of that after the win. I can never have a .000 winning percentage."
