If you do a linear regression: $||Ax - e ||^2$, where e is iid Gaussian, mean 0 and variance 1, then your answer is $x_{hat} = (A' A)^{-1} (A' * e)$ and the covariance of $x_{hat}$ is $(A' A)^{-1}$
Now, what if I add the linear inequality constraints $Bx > c$? There are algorithms that find the answer for a given $e$, but what is the covariance matrix?
It seems like a non-trivial problem: http://www.gurulib.com/_user_manual_file/pic_1247578519497.pdf
However, the author seems to give up: "A much more interesting problem is to analyze a properly truncated variance-covariance matrix of $b*$. However, it is beyond the scope of this paper."
Of course, I can do a Monte-Carlo simulation, but a closed-form solution would be better. Any hint or reference?
Thanks in advance, Tony

Sencha Touch performance
I am an experienced native developer, working with both iOS and Android platforms and convinced that the fastest and easiest way to create an app that would offer an outstanding user experience is to go native, although you'll need to do most of the work twice, once for iOS, then for Android.
I was always curious though whether those claims regarding the benefits of cross-platform development with JavaScript and HTML5 have any truth behind them.
A year ago I had my first chance to figure that out as I was a part of a team creating a Sencha Touch prototype for a client. My part of the work was to create an animated chart that would perform close to native, and I managed to achieve that using CSS3 transitions. Then I integrated that chart into emerging Sencha Touch app. That was the time when we were using Sencha Touch 1 and trying pre-release versions of Sencha Touch 2.
There were three of us in the team, one of us was fairly experienced with Sencha Touch, and we spent two months working on that prototype, still having some problems with animations being jerky, the whole thing not working properly on an Android tablet (even after Sencha Touch 2 was released), some buttons not appearing where they were expected etc.
If I had chance to create that app natively, I would spend less time just on my own for both iOS and Android versions. There would be no performance or layout issues whatsoever. My opinion about cross-platform development with Sencha Touch at that point was as follows:
1) Requires times more effort, and a lot more code, than native development.
2) Isn't really cross-platform. Works mostly okay on iOS devices but behaves quite badly on any other platform.
3) Sluggish. In only a few cases the performance was anywhere close to native.
4) A ridiculous tool chain. I still remember installing some obscure bits of software to get even the basic functionality working.
Fast forward one year, yet again I work for a company willing to explore the prospects of HTML5 development. Now that Sencha Touch 2 has matured, already in version 2.1, and has a nice tool like Architect 2, I decided to give it another go.
I went through the Build Your First Mobile App tutorial with the Architect and enjoyed the tool very much. It still has some wrinkles but is really a pleasure to use. The CityBars app seemed to work fine - until I deployed it to a real device. Then it was a disaster. The performance was simply awful. The list of the bars took ages to respond to a touch, and if I impatiently tapped it more than once, it would then react twice, animating the same detail view to slide in, and then I had to go back twice. It was *really* bad, despite being such a simple app.
In fact, it was much worse than my previous experience with Sencha Touch a year ago. Why is that, I wonder? I did nothing wrong, I believe, just followed the tutorial. Are there special steps required to make a Sencha Touch app less sluggish?
My colleague pointed me towards this Burrows success story. I tried to find that Ford Showroom app mentioned in the article on the App Store but couldn't, but I found another app by Burrows, Ford Focus. It is crude and kludgy, easily the worst example of what can be done with HTML5, but to be fair, it was probably developed with Sencha Touch 1.
So I wonder if someone could explain me, first, why a trivial tutorial app has such a poor performance on a device, and is there anything that can be done to improve the performance?
Also, are there any nontrivial apps in the world that showcase the best of what Sencha Touch can do? I would be interested to see if they can really compete with native apps in terms of user experience.

The biggest performance hit you will take is the size of the DOM, how many elements are rendered at any given time. The larger the DOM, the slower and twitchy the animations will look. Also the slower it can react to things like user interactions.
Here is a scenario. Say you are using a container with card layout so you are only seeing 1 item at a time and you use setActiveItem method to switch between the items. If you have 5 items and each item has 10 items then you have 50 components rendered which can cause the DOM to swell in size. I usually only render what is currently visible so I only have 1 item added to the parent container and then add/remove items as I want to switch to and from items.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Are there sample apps that demonstrate how to achieve acceptable performance?
Likewise, I am writing apps that are only useful on mobile devices (not web sites). The Sencha performance of modest apps is not acceptable - very sluggish with poor responsiveness. Are there sample apps that demonstrate how to achieve acceptable performance? You & others note catching requests, removing non-visible elements & only rendering visible elements. Are there examples of these techniques, for example, a tab panel with several image carousels, forms, etc. Thanks, Matthew

I would like to see some examples of these techniques too, if there are any ?
29 Apr 2013 12:07 AM #5
I'd also appreciate it if someone could upload an example with all the techniques that supposedly make sencha touch faster. Please consider to upload some examples. Thanks!

This is a sort of strange question that popped into my head when I was reading a paper. In writing mathematics, many authors use the phrase "as desired" to conclude a proof, usually written to indicate that one has reached the result originally stated. I know that this is perfectly good English, but the phrase is so widespread, despite the fact that there are many other similar alternatives. Does anybody know whether the phrase has any specific origins?
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q.E.D.:
But I don't know how close this translation of Q.E.D. "what was required" is to the phrase "as desired", as desired by the OP.

Before Lion I used Exposé daily. Now with Lion it's gone and Mission Control is in its place. Now when I use MC it groups all my open pages instead of showing each page. This is kind of a pain when swapping between applications. Is there a way I can use a Hot Key or pointer swipe to show ALL of my open pages, spanning different applications?
There isn't a reliable way to use the old Exposé on Lion.
You can, however, use Mission Control to access all of your open windows easily.
In Mission Control, hover over an app's 'cluster' of open windows. Use a two-finger swipe upwards (or scroll up with a scroll wheel) to separate those windows for easier access.
You can access all of an app's windows using F10. You can assign a Hot Corner or different shortcut using System Preferences-> Mission Control (this function is known as "Application Windows").
In OS X 10.7, Exposé has been outmoded by Mission Control. It essentially combines Exposé and Spaces into one set of gestures. How you access it will depend on your computer and its configuration.
MacBooks with glass, buttonless trackpads and desktops with the Magic Trackpad can access it by swiping four fingers up, I believe. Older MacBooks that run Lion can access it with the Exposé button on the keyboard. And, of course, all Macs can be configured to launch Mission Control by moving the cursor to a corner. It can all be accessed via the Mission Control pane in the System Preferences.

Manufacturing data provides blueprint for economic growth
November 11, 2011 - LM Editorial
Third quarter GDP growth was up 2.5 percent compared to 1.3 percent in the second quarter. And according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), its most recent PMI, which gauges manufacturing output, hit 50.8 in October, which equates to 2.9 percent GDP growth.
As LM has reported, any PMI reading at 50 or higher indicates economic growth is occurring.
That said, manufacturing is indeed making a significant contribution to overall GDP growth and perhaps leading the way, said Bradley J. Holcomb, CPSM, CPSD, chair of the ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, in a recent interview.
"If the rest of the sectors were at our level, real GDP would be closer to 3 percent," said Holcomb.
What's more, this strong manufacturing gains are coming at a time filled as any with economic uncertainty, given the current situation in Europe with the fate of the Euro hanging in the balance and myriad Southern European nations dealing with debt issues, relatively slight consumer spending here at home, and stagnant unemployment and housing markets.
The ISM's manufacturing PMI was north of 60 for the first four months of 2011, a pace that even back then would be incredibly hard to maintain in this economic climate.
"Things were going gangbusters and in that type of environment you want to position yourself with higher inventories," said Holcomb. "But with the PMI now in the low-50s over the past four months, lower inventory levels [October's was 46.7] represents a bit of a wait and see attitude, with manufacturers posturing to be lean and flexible. A low inventory given the current PMI levels are good and that needs to be taken into consideration when looking at the big picture."
And at the moment, there is now more of a broadly positive optimistic tone than there has been in the last few months, observed Holcomb.
Now, more than ever, perhaps, managing inventories correctly and proactively is more imperative than it has ever been for shippers.
This is especially true when taking a long view of the 2011 Peak Season, which was very slow to materialize, if really occur at all, due in large part to shippers being cautious in not wanting to face the ordeal of being stuck with too much stock, as was the case in a big way following the 2008 holiday season.

I have heard a lot about this new Ubuntu For Android but how can the average man download and install this neat new feature!!
I have heard a lot about this new Ubuntu For Android but how can the average man download and install this neat new feature!!
There is a difference between Ubuntu for Android and using Ubuntu on android. Ubuntu through a loop file using chroot and (maybe) VNC is running Ubuntu (for ARM, technically). The Ubuntu for Android that I linked to is an addition to android that is something different - they may use a similar technique, but I don't think so, as from their description it sounds more native than that, and only runs through a secondary display (as many higher end phones have some kind of hdmi capability these days). In any case, near as I can tell, it is provided for phone manufacturers only at this point as something to include with their devices, and not something for the average joe (yet... I hope that will change).
A little research before posting never hurts... Nevermind, here is a link for a (probably unofficial) tutorial on how to do it : Ubuntu for Android. Now I don't know if this is legal or correct or moral, you just be careful.
EDIT : Also, here is a complete post explaining in detail WHAT it is, because you don't sound as if you really know what it is. Also, as a direct quote of the article it is said that :
I don't think this is possible for the average man yet, and it would ruin your warranty if you success. From the homepage of Ubuntu its clear that canonical try to make this an manufacturer function.
But to add some hope in one hopeless situation There are Galaxy Nexus devices running Ubuntu today so Its possible, if you are a poweruser and willing to invest some time. How to install Ubuntu on a Galaxy Nexus
This post from XDA developers explains how to replace the "Webtop" software on Morotola Atrix with a full Ubuntu install. This is the closest you will get to a real Ubuntu-for-Android until such time as manufacturers ever start selling them (if that ever happens.) The reason for that being Ubuntu-for-Android was developed on the Atrix and uses the same software drivers as Webtop (which is also based on Ubuntu.)
tl;dr buy a Motorola Atrix.

In one week from now I am holding a course in computer programming, which takes place twice a week. The course has 30 participants. It is the first time I am holding a course.
Now I have to prepare myself. I think it will be quite similar to prepare a talk, hence the title.
So the situation: I know the information I have to present extremely well, so this is not a problem.
My problem is
- preparing myself effectively, not spending much unnecessary time.
- what to focus on and how to train myself to speak well
- 50% of my talks don't run very well, in part I have a problem speaking without gaps or pauses, and sometimes I get nervous, especially if I run out of material I have to say or if I feel the audience is not listening to me.
So it is like a coin flip, if my talks run well and up to now I didn't have to speak for 2 hours or more in a row.
To address part of the problem I joined a debate club, where I speak in front of groups from time to time. It was a superb tip I got from a friend!!
I did a storyboard to structure my content and did the slides of the first course lecture. I watched the most popular youtube video of someone teaching a similar course and I copied interesting things.
Now I will hold the first 1-2 course lectures in front of friends and once also in front of a presentation coach, who among my friends.
Any tips on
- how much time I should spend preparing the slides and content versus holding the course/rehearsing the course
- how to train rhetoric skills like moving the arms, pausing from time to time.
- how to focus on the most important things (not getting distracted by technical things, like the programming examples)

Hundreds of teens across the state are trying to educate others about the dangers of smoking. Here in Bowling Green, students at Dishman McGinnis Elementary had some special visitors teaching them about the health risks of tobacco. Students at Dishman McGinnis took a pledge to be smoke-free.
Angie Slocum is a counselor at the school and organized the program. She says, "Them pledging to not smoke and to sign the wall, I think that made an impact on them."
Currently, 34-percent of Kentucky High School students smoke. Fifteen-percent of Middle Schoolers are lighting up. So the program's goal was to show kids how much more successful they can be if they don't start.
Slocum says, "Western athletes telling them they can't perform as well if they smoke, and Big Red was here and highly entertaining."
The school had contests and events all week teaching the kids about not smoking.
Stephanie Meador is one of the poster contest winners. She describes her poster, "This guy doesn't smoke, but this guy does. And his lungs are very bad."
She learned a lot from the pep rally. She says, "That smoking can hurt your lungs really bad, and you can cough. And you won't be able to do things you did when you didn't smoke."
And she says she is never going to be a smoker. "Because when I grow up, I don't want to have bad lungs like some people do," Meador says.
Altogether the event was a huge success.
Slocum says, "Our kids, I've really been hearing, I'm going to try to get my mom to stop smoking. I think they're going to be a positive influence to those around them after this week of activities."

WEIRTON - The City of Weirton is looking into the possibility of joining a home rule pilot program which already has seen many successes in four West Virginia cities.
Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie spoke to members of Weirton City Council Monday about his city's experiences with the program and how it might benefit Weirton.
Weirton Mayor George Kondik said he thought hearing from McKenzie would help council in determining whether to move forward with the process.
Article Video
"There's a lot the city of Wheeling was able to do," Kondik said.
In addition to Wheeling, the cities of Bridgeport, Charleston and Huntington also are participating in the pilot, which started in 2007. Weirton initially considered applying for the program six years ago, but opted not to.
In order for Weirton to take part, the state Legislature would need to renew the current program for another five years and agree to allow additional municipalities to take part.

PROGRAM EXTENDED — Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie spoke with Weirton City Council Monday about the possibility of the City of Weirton joining the home rule pilot program offered by the state of West Virginia. The West Virginia Legislature would have to extend the program for another five years and accept Weirton in order for the city to participate. -- Craig Howell
Home rule would allow the City of Weirton to break away from state code on certain issues, pending acceptance by the state on the changes.
McKenzie, who was serving in the state Senate when the home rule legislation was passed, explained West Virginia is one of the few states to not allow some form of home rule for municipalities.
After becoming mayor of Wheeling, McKenzie said he wanted to see what the city could do to turn itself around, noting its decrease in population and business. "I wanted to throw everything out and start over," McKenzie said.
Among the things Wheeling has done is decrease the number of business licenses from 77 to three, granting conditional use zoning permits, being able to place liens for the collection of delinquent fees, and charging a fee on long-term vacant or dilapidated structures.
Statewide, 20 of the 25 proposals from home rule cities have been enacted in some form. Three of Huntington's four proposals have been facing legal challenges.
McKenzie said Weirton could look at what Wheeling and the other participating cities have done or come up with other proposals as part of its home rule application.
"You know Weirton," he said. "You know what needs to be done."
The current home rule pilot program would expire June 30 if it is not renewed by the state Legislature. If the program is renewed and expanded, any participating city would have to get approval from the Legislature for any of its proposals before they could be enacted.

The motherboard of my laptop recently gave the ghost and since the laptop was still under warranty, the manufacturer replaced it for free and all seemed well, except that my copy of Ms Office gives me a warning that it isn't genuine anymore. (previous authenticity checks went fine).
It's all the more disappointing considering that, since I live in Thailand, I actually am one of the very rare few people in the whole country to have actually purchased a valid copy of Ms Office Pro. Software piracy is so prevalent that whenever you buy a computer here, the shop will install pirated copies of just about everything for free, or you could buy a CD for a couple bucks.
And so here I am with one of the only genuine copies in town, or even in the whole country, stuck with shameful "not genuine" message every time I run Outlook or Word.
Is there anything that can be done about it? I had a look on Microsoft's Website, clicking through on the various messages, but the only recommended "solution" is to buy it again, something I am not exactly keen on.
EDIT: This is not an OEM version. It's a retail version.
Also, it was already activated properly and it reports it is still activated, so I can't do that step again.

UNICEF's Message of Hope
The Midwest Regional Office of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF hosted its sixth annual Message of Hope Gala. Attendees enjoyed a three-course dinner prepared by the Four Seasons Chicago, performances from the Gentlemen of Leisure Band, silent and live auctions, raffles and a paddle raise, as well as interactive stations and inventive water-theme décor from Kehoe Designs which educated and raised awareness on the importance of access to safe water and sanitation. UNICEF has strongly supported the belief that global mortality rate amongst children should be diminished when there is power of prevention. The proceeds of the overall event will benefit UNICEF's global survival and development programs for children.

I upgraded my baseball bat to level 2, and now if I want to switch to the stun gun or the Penetrator, how do I do it? Seems like a silly question but I cannot do it!
I thought I should add more info:
I bought all 3 melee weapons at the shop, the Penetrator, stun gun and baseball bat, in that order. Now my baseball bat is always equipped, both in crib AND in weapon store, I use my Ⓛ to select the slot, hit Ⓐ and I do see all three weapons, but only the baseball bat is ever equipped ... how do I equip other melee weapon in that slot, please?
I have tried to press all buttons and some combinations even, nothing equips or changes the melee weapon.
Hope that's clear. thanks.

Dataview itemtpl vs tpl
Apparently tpl is no longer functioning in Dataviews the way they used to be (ie accessing the configured store), and we now must use itemTpl and forego the 'itemSelector' configuration to tell us what triggers an item select.
So - the question is ... how do I achieve the same looping mechanism in a dataview now ?
I have data which I have to wrap in a table structure, and have each item as a cell in that table.
This no longer works as far as I can tell. In fact - it seems rather silly that itemTpl can take a XTemplate which understands the <tpl for="."> mechanism since the Template is only performed on the single record.
Suggestions ?
Thank you!
tpl: new Ext.XTemplate( '
', '
', '<tpl for=".">', '{random data from record here}	', '</tpl>', '
', '
' )

Hi. I'm not sure about the answer, although I've been asking myself the same question, but have you tried extending DataView instead of passing "tpl" as a configuration parameters?
Ext.define('MyDataView', { extend: 'Ext.DataView', config: { tpl: new Ext.XTemplate(...) } });

This looks like a bug. I'll add it as a ticket. Thanks.Sencha Inc.

Same here, please provide this functionality back! Thanks!

So it seems this will not back it back into 2.0. This is because of the new structure of DataView and ComponentView, and all the complex dom structure that follows it.
If you wish to do this manually, you will need to override getElementConfig in your subclass of DataView. The default is the following:
getElementConfig: function() { return { reference: 'element', className: 'x-container', children: [{ reference: 'innerElement', className: 'x-inner' }] }; }Sencha Inc.

Hi all,
I have the same problem in Touch 2.3.
Can you provide an example, how I can achieve the formerly code:
tpl: [ '<svg id="mySVG" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 7900 600" currentScale="1">', ' <g id="viewport">', ' <tpl for=".">', ' <polygon class="raum" points="{polygone}" />', ' </tpl>', ' </g>', '</svg>' ]

University of Colorado Denver
Technical Communication is one of nine core pathways available to undergraduate Communication majors. Technical Communication is the career field concerned with creating documents (online as well as on paper and packaging) that integrate words and visual images in ways that help people achieve their practical goals at home, school, work, and in their social communities. Technical communication is the act of bringing together text, graphics (including illustration, animation, photography, video and quantitative displays), typography, and page design for purposes of instruction, explanation, persuasion and decision making. Technical communications can be as short as the warning label on a small package of medicine or as long as a booklet for preparing a tax return or a multi-volume proposal for redesigning a train station. Because users of technical documents are often reading them to make important (and sometimes crucial) personal decisions involving their safety, health, work productivity or finances, developing them involves carefully researching end-users' needs, knowledge and behavior. It also requires testing prototype technical communications with actual end-users to determine how these communications can be made more usable, helpful, understandable, and effective.
The Technical Communication Pathway is designed to help meet the continuing need for technical document design experts across a broad range of industrial, medical, legal, financial, government, educational and nonprofit organizations. The pathway courses introduce students to the critical thinking and analytic skills necessary for informed technical document design. Students who pursue the pathway courses also acquire a foundation in basic communication modalities required for entry into the technical communication field, including oral technical presentation, instructional design, web page design and multimedia authoring, as well as technical writing and technical editing skills. The instruction provided in pathway courses strikes a balance among technical communication theory, research and hands-on practice. It also complements the instruction provided in several other pathways, including Health Communication, Public Relations & Advertising, Political Communication & Government, and Human Resources & Organizational Communication.
Students seeking education in the technical communication field but who only want instruction in "core" areas of technical communication also have the option of pursuing the shorter Undergraduate Certificate in Technical & Professional Communication (12 credits). Both professors and experienced technical communication professionals teach the certificate and pathway courses. Advising concerning the certificate and the technical communication pathway generally is provided by Associate Professor Jim Stratman.

I want to be able to stream audio from another webpage through mine, but i do not know how to find the url for each audio file located on a separate webpage. It would also be extremely helpful to do everything in bulk so instead of writing a separate line of code for each audio file, simply writing a few lines of code to upload links to 100 audio files, etc. I am also using Ruby on Rails for my webpage.
How do you find a file located on a separate webpage?
Does anyone know, if possible how, to upload file links in bulk?

The core of New York University is the academic enterprise. The best students and faculty are drawn to the University by the allure of being part of a compelling intellectual and creative enterprise — a community of scholars characterized by collaboration, innovation, and incandescent teaching. NYU students get the experience of attending a Global Network University, anchored in New York City but with nodes throughout the world. Learning opportunities present themselves both in and out of the classroom, befitting an institution that is and always has been "in and of the city". And now our students and faculty are global citizens, exposed to culture, students, faculties and research opportunities throughout the world.
Academic Resources
Academic enterprise is central to the mission of the NYU community. Students, faculty and other community members can find information about the resources that support the University's academic endeavors. Current and prospective students can browse course offering in different school bulletins, and current students and recent graduates can request a transcript. NYU's network of support resources can help every student make the most of myriad learning opportunities. From faculty interactions to academic advising, to the three million volumes housed in the twelve stories of Bobst Library, NYU is at the forefront of teaching and research.
More than 15 schools and colleges, 11 global academic centers, an NYU Abu Dhabi degree-granting campus, and an NYU Shanghai degree-granting campus comprise the New York University academic community. Strengthened through its arts and science core, a guiding principle of the University's academic enterprise is interconnectedness. NYU encourages dialogue between departments and schools, operating under the thinking that barriers between disciplines must not be barriers to learning. This collaboration continues to develop and uphold rigorous norms and standards while taking new pathways to connect traditional fields in non-traditional ways.
NYU's stimulating academic climate is fostered by its diversity. The student body comes from all corners of the globe, every economic echelon and pursues distinct intellectual experiences. Programs of study are diverse, but share a common expectation for high achievement and the goal of engaging world challenges through a diversity of disciplines. NYU draws even greater vigor from even greater diversity. Faculty members are world-famous scholars and researchers, winners of Nobel, Craaford and Pulitzer Prizes; MacArthur, Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellowships; and Oscar, Emmy and Tony Awards. In its academic enterprise, the entire University community pursues the academics of the future, securing New York University's place as the future of idea capital.
From leading international centers for research and education, to one of the most technologically advanced lecture halls and screening facilities in New York City, the varied institutes and centers at NYU serve as critical points of convergence for the University experience.

Research Interests:
The hereditary material of every cell is DNA, which encodes the information directing all of the normal processes of the cell. When that information is changed, or mutated, the normal functions of the cell are altered. Such mutations are a hallmark of cancer, in which defects in the normal cell division regulatory mechanisms are disrupted. The link between DNA mutations and cancer is highlighted by the fact that many inherited cancer predisposition syndromes are due to mutations in key genes that are normally involved in protecting cells from cell growth and division in the face of DNA damage.
DNA damage can occur spontaneously, or it can be induced by exposure to several different classes of carcinogens, such as UV light, various chemicals, or cigarette smoke. Therefore, DNA damage is a constant threat to the integrity of our hereditary material. To guard against this threat, our cells employ cell cycle checkpoints, which inhibit cell division to allow time for repair of the DNA damage. If the cells successfully repair the DNA damage, they recover and proceed with cell division. If the DNA damage is irreparable, the cells activate cell death pathways. In either case, the cell is prevented from dividing with damaged DNA, thus eliminating the possibility that any defects in DNA will become permanent mutations that may lead to cancer. The p53 tumor suppressor protein plays a major role in both the cell cycle arrest and cell death in response to DNA damage. The significance of its role in these processes is evident in the fact that p53 is defective in greater than 50% of all human tumors. The primary goal of my research is to increase our understanding of the mechanisms by which p53 protects cells from DNA damage.

In a study by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Rosemary Yancik from the NIA in Bethesda, Maryland and colleagues performed a retrospective chart review of 1800 postmenopausal women with breast cancer, ages 55 and older. In total, 73% of the women had stage I or stage II breast cancer, 10% had stage III or stage IV disease, and 17% were not assigned a stage.
Nearly all patients with stage I or stage II node-negative breast cancer received treatment that was consistent with National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommendations. However, a significant inverse relationship was noted between patient age group and likelihood of receiving NIH-consistent therapy. In addition, on logistic regression analysis, women aged 70 years and older were significantly less likely to undergo axillary lymph node dissection.
The presence of diabetes, renal failure, stroke, liver disease, a previous malignant tumor, and smoking were statistically significant predictors of early mortality when age and disease were included. Just over half of all deaths were from breast cancer. Heart disease and previous cancers were the next most common causes. By the end of the 30-month followup period, 15% of subjects had died.
"This paper is really a surveillance report, documenting, with population-based data, the magnitude not only of the cancer burden but of the age-related burden of other issues," Dr. Yancik told Reuters Health. "Breast cancer rates peak in the upper age segment of the population," she said. "A lot of people don't really know that."
"The other important message is that breast cancer doesn't occur by itself," Dr. Yancik noted. "In older women, it is occurring in a woman's body that may have preexisting illnesses." However, Dr. Yancik went on to say that she believes "it is important to emphasize the heterogeneity of aging and of the tumor stage."
"As long as prevention and cure of breast cancer remain elusive, postmenopausal women will require additional health resources to promote early detection, optimum treatment, long-term followup, and supportive care," the researchers conclude in the journal.

You can get painter's poles in the hardware store for really cheap. You can get lengths of 10-12 feet. Good enough to clear the crowd.
But they have a funny kind of thread on the end. I think they are 5/8 / 6. Really course threads.
I've thought about getting one to play around with but always am stumped on how to fix my NN3 to the end.
See where I'm going? Nodal Ninja already makes a pole adapter. What about a simple pole adapter with the big course threads that would screw onto the end of the painter's pole with a 1/4 tripod bolt on top?
Probably not a big seller though....

The Cat's Pajamas (Paperback)
From the winner of the National Book Foundations' 2000 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters comes a "sweet, funny . . . thought provoking" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) collection of short stories.
As in his most recent major fiction collections, One More for the Road (1999) and Driving Blind (1997), Ray Bradbury has once again pulled together a stellar group of stories sure to delight readers of all ages. In The Cat's Pyjamas we are treated to a treasure trove of Bradbury gems old and new eerie and strange, nostalgic and bittersweet, searching and speculative all but two of which have never been published before. The Cat's Pyjamas is a joyous celebration of the lifelong work of a literary legend.
About the Author
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

Pregnant Women: Get a Whooping Cough Vaccine
Oct. 24, 2012 -- Women should get a Tdap shot during every pregnancy to protect their infant from whooping cough, even if they have had Tdap shots before, new guidelines advise.
Today's recommendation comes from the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the panel that sets U.S. vaccination policy.
The new shot recommendation is meant to protect newborns from pertussis, better known as whooping cough.
Pertussis kills babies, particularly those under 2 months of age. So far this year, at least 16 U.S. infants have died of pertussis. But that's just "the tip of the iceberg," Baylor University pediatrician Carol Baker, MD, told the panel.
"I take care of babies who die of pertussis," said Baker, a former chair of the ACIP. "The official number of confirmed pertussis deaths is small. But these children die of apnea [inability to breathe], and a large number of SIDS [sudden infant death syndrome] deaths are probably pertussis."
Babies are vulnerable because they can't start vaccination against pertussis until they're 2 months old.
Previously, there was an effort to protect infants by making sure everyone around them was vaccinated. This "cocooning" strategy isn't working, the CDC's Jennifer L. Liang, DVM, told the ACIP. Too few people were getting their booster shots.
"Cocooning is an insufficient strategy to prevent pertussis in infants," Liang said.
Instead, the ACIP considered a new strategy: Vaccinate pregnant women. Protective anti-pertussis antibodies cross the placenta to the fetus, protecting newborns until they can make antibodies of their own. The optimal time to get the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy is between 27 and 36 weeks gestation.
Is Safety an Issue?
Is it safe? The Tdap vaccine has three components. It protects against tetanus and diphtheria as well as against pertussis. Healthy adults given repeat doses don't have a problem with getting two shots in two years, except that their arms tend to be sorer, and sore longer, than after the first shot.
The vaccine is known to be safe in pregnant women, and experts who testified before the ACIP suggested that the vaccine would be safe when repeat doses are given with each and every pregnancy.

What is the difference between an apocalypse and a cataclysm? I've been told that an apocalypse is an act of God, but we seem to use it as a generic term for any grand disaster. What is the difference in original and current usage?

Apocalypse means "revelation" in Greek, from Greek καλύπτω (kalupto) "hide" and ἀπό- (apo-) "un-". It was so used in the New Testament: the last book is called Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου in Greek, Revelation of John, in which the Last Judgement is revealed to John, the time when the Christian God will end human existence as we know it. From this, apocalypse gained its secondary modern sense of armageddon, the end of the world by the forces of nature or God. In this way it is now most often used. It now means a disaster so great that it will probably destroy most of mankind, and possibly the entire universe.
Cataclysm comes from Greek κατακλυσμός (kataklusmos), "deluge", from κλύζω (kluzo), "wash away, flood", and κατά- (kata-), "down". It refers to the flooding of all Earth, usually by endless rains and rising rivers, as it is told in the story of Noah's Ark in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. Note that this myth also exists in many other Oriental cultures. In many cultures, possibly including Judaism, this is a recurring event, by which time is cyclically ordered in periods of growth and subsequent destruction. It now means a great, uncontrollable disaster, but not necessarily so great as to destroy civilization. It should have significant destructive impact within a certain environment. There is some overlap with apocalypse.
Armageddon (Ἁρμαγεδών in Greek) is the hill in Israel where the final battle between the Christian Messiah and Satan is to take place at the end of time, the Last Judgement. The word appears only once in the Bible, so says Wikipedia, in the book of Revelation. Similar stories about a battle on a mountain at the end of time already existed in Jewish lore before Christ, and were also adopted by Islamic prophecies. Armageddon is used as a near-synonym of apocalypse in modern English; I don't see any difference except that it has a slight connotation of violence and struggle, whereas apocalypse is slightly more abstract, "cleaner". In most contexts there is no difference.
Apocalypse is a Greek word for revelation and is associated especially with the end-of-days story in the Book of Revelations. While it can be used for any disaster (and has been in modern times) the implication is that an apocalyptic event is a world-ending event.
A cataclysm on the other hand has fewer religious associations and can stand in for any major disaster, although a cataclysm can also be a world ending or changing disaster.
However the words can be used as synonyms in certain cases.
The OED defines apocalypse as:
As you can see, the primary associations are Biblical, although when used synonymously with cataclysm the implication is that a cataclysm affected humans and human society.
To give an example, the meteor strike that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was a definitely a cataclysmic event; however it was not an apocalyptic, as it did not affect humans or destroy the world.
Apocalypse brings on the end of the world while cataclysm is a large-scale disaster but doesn't mean the end of the world.
World wars and nuclear disasters have been cataclysmic but not apocalyptic as the world and human life has continued.
Going back to the Greek roots, an apocalypse refers to the lifting of a veil, a revelation. In the Bible specifically, it refers to the final battle on earth before God's kingdom is revealed. Which is important, because if you've been good, you get in. If not, you get a good look at what you'll be missing while you wail or gnash teeth or as you will in the eternal hellfire.
A cataclysm, by contrast, refers to a physical disaster. The Greek root refers particularly to a flood. A cataclysm doesn't imply divine intervention.

I'm not sure what they put in the remedies but I would like to know if they are kosher and would batel beshishim apply in this case if there was a non-kosher ingredient?

Some Halachic sources relating to homeopathy:
1) Hamaor (journal) Sh'vat 1983. Someone asked R' Moshe Feinstein concerning the kashrut of homeopathic 'remedies' on Passover. (Would the prohibition against purposely nullifying a substance apply?) The response came from Rabbi Moshe Tendler who wrote that his father-in-law didn't want to deal with the question because homeopathy is nonsense:
I emphasized the terms tested and confirmed (בדוקה ומנוסה) because they refer to the prohibition against superstitions- "darchei haemori". The source in Shulchan Aruch is OC:301. Basically, any cure that has no basis in science and has been proven ineffective (or perhaps not proven effective) is forbidden as a superstition. (There are nuances that need further study.) Indeed, homeopathy has been proven ineffective (see wikipedia for references to the meta-studies) and has no rational basis in science. (I can speculate as to the meaning of the rest of the letter. Many people who believe and promote homeopathy tend to have other strange beliefs. There is a definite connection between homeopathy and the occult/superstitions. Major influential homeopaths such J. T. Kent, Edward Bach and George Vithoulkas were/are occultists. More than half of Wikipedia's list of homeopaths have some connection to the occult/spiritualism/new age. In some cases, outright idolatry is involved.)
The article in the HaMaor journal continues with two rather strange responses to Rabbi Tendler/Feinstein's "non-responsum". They include halachic non-sequitors, a bizarre claim that homeopathy is respected by doctors/scientists, an accusation that Rabbi Tendler fabricated his father-in-law's response, and even an ad hominem attack against Rabbi Tendler for attending university.
I found three other reponsa that deal with Rabbi Feinstein's negation of homeopathy:
1) Rabbi Chaim Dovid HaLevi in T'chumin, Volume 3. He deals with the Passover issue and the question of non-scientific (segulot) remedies in general. (I would humbly suggest anyone reading the responsum to study all the sources he cites very carefully. Especially problematic is that he disregards the major point that Rabbi Tendler makes- that homeopathy is not בדוקה ומנוסה ; instead he only deals with the issue that homeopathy has no scientific explanation.)
2) R' Menashe Klein, Mishneh Halachos, Vol. 10, 112. (He doesn't understand why homeopathy would be considered nonsense/non-scientific. He doesn't deal with the issue of בדוקה ומנוסה)
3) R Wosner, Shevet HaLevi, Vol. 5, 55. (He seems to conclude that the remedy is permitted if it has been established as effective and accepted by medical experts.)
Wikipedia includes this sentence in its article on homeopathy:
If there is not a single molecule of a non-kosher ingerdient, what possible problem can there be?

Children's Health
High Blood Pressure a Rising Risk for Kids, Teens
June 18, 2012 -- The number of young people sent to the hospital for high blood pressure rose steeply during a recent 10-year period, according to a new study published online in the journal Hypertension.
Hospital stays for Americans ages 18 and under due to high blood pressure nearly doubled from 12,661 in 1997 to 24,602 in 2006. The study shows that high blood pressure in young people comes with a high cost for the nation today and is setting the stage for serious health problems in the future, experts tell WebMD.
A Costly Problem Linked to Obesity
A central discovery in the study goes beyond the obvious health cost to the children and highlights the actual cost of treating high blood pressure in young people, says researcher Cheryl Tran, MD, of the University of Michigan. During this time period, these hospital stays cost $3.1 billion. The average charges for treating these young people in the hospital rose by 50%.
One of the key reasons given by researchers for this trend: obesity. According to the CDC, roughly 17% of kids and teens are now obese. Their numbers have grown steeply in recent decades. Children who are obese are more likely to have high blood pressure, according to the CDC.
In their study, the researchers point out that high blood pressure in kids is growing more common. It now affects up to 3% of American children. When the researchers looked at the hospital records of the young people, only 9.3% of the claims with high blood pressure also made a reference to obesity. But it's possible that more of the kids and teens were obese, but their records didn't make note of it, Tran says. The database they used for the study didn't contain information on the young people's body mass indexes.
Signs of Health Problems to Come
In an editorial published along with the study, Joshua Samuels, MD, of the University of Texas, writes that the "significant increases in blood pressure are likely riding the wave of pediatric obesity that is spreading across America." High blood pressure affects more kids than other problems that get more attention, such as autism or epilepsy, he writes.

Jayhawks Nip Cowboys 68-67 In Double-OT
Posted: 11:16 PM Feb 20, 2013
Reporter: Jeff Latzke AP College Football Writer
KU vs Oklahoma St.
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- After he'd missed time and time again all night long, for some reason Naadir Tharpe's final attempt just felt right when it left his hand.
And what a shot it was for No. 9 Kansas.
Tharpe connected on a short jumper in the lane with 16.5 seconds left in the second overtime, lifting the Jayhawks over No. 14 Oklahoma State 68-67 on Wednesday night for a critical win in the Big 12 championship race.
Tharpe had made only one of his first 11 shots, and Kansas (22-4, 10-3 Big 12) hadn't made a field goal in either overtime, before one finally fell through at just the right time.
"I knew I just had to make a play," said Tharpe, who was filling in at the point after starter Elijah Johnson fouled out.
Travis Releford scored 18 points and Jeff Withey had three double-overtime free throws among his 17 points for the Jayhawks, who are tied with No. 13 Kansas State for the conference lead with five games to go. Kansas has had at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season title for each of the past eight years, but that streak was in jeopardy against the surging Cowboys.
Markel Brown scored 20 points to lead Oklahoma State (19-6, 9-4), which had won seven straight - including snapping the Jayhawks' 33-game home winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this month - to move into a three-way tie for the league lead.
"Our whole focus is just to win the Big 12," Releford said. "Teams beat us. We knew we weren't going to run the table and go undefeated.
"Unfortunately, it just happened they beat us at home. We just were focused to come in and try to get a win."
Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State's star freshman, had 16 points but fouled out midway through the second extra period when he slammed into Releford after going airborne on a drive to the basket.
On the winning play, Tharpe isolated against Phil Forte and wiggled his way into the lane before popping in a jumper from the right side. Brown missed a jumper from the left wing with about 7 seconds left, and Releford dove along the sideline in front of Oklahoma State's bench to prevent the rebound from going out of bounds and instead let the final seconds tick off the clock.
"It's a hard pill to swallow," Brown said. "I felt like this game could have went either way. A double-overtime game, it was a tough one out there."
Neither team led by more than six during the classic with championship implications, and both had their chances to win it at the end of regulation and each overtime.
The Jayhawks' best-in-the-nation defense limited Oklahoma State to a season-low 32.8 percent shooting. Kansas missed its first seven shots after regulation, only escaping after Tharpe's play in crunch time.
"Neither team had any offense and he certainly made a huge play there late. Just huge," coach Bill Self said. "Biggest play of his life, I'm sure,"
With so many misses, naturally, each team's star freshman had his share.
Ben McLemore, on pace to replace Danny Manning as the highest-scoring freshman in Kansas history, misfired on his first eight shots before making three in a row in the second half. He had a season-low seven points.
Smart started out 0 for 9 before finally hitting a fallaway jumper along the right side of the lane to cut Oklahoma State's deficit to 53-51 with 3:20 left in regulation. Forte tied it soon after, making a pair of free throws after coming up with a steal.
Smart came out of the game once after hurting his right shoulder and again after tweaking his right ankle in the first half. He then got socked in the face by Withey early in the second half. But it wasn't until he got his fifth foul that he finally couldn't return.
"Marcus is a big key to this team, so once he fouled out, I was like, `Oh, shoot! We need Marcus out there,"' Brown said. "He brings the toughness out there. He gets stops out there. No matter if he's shooting bad for the night, he still can make that big-time play for you."
The Jayhawks weren't able to close it out in regulation after Releford banked in a tricky scoop shot underneath for a 57-53 lead with 1:49 to play. Smart made one of two free throws at the opposite end and, after Withey missed inside for Kansas, he got out in transition for a 3-pointer to tie it with 1:11 to play.
Johnson crossed over Smart on a drive, getting him to fall down in the lane, but Michael Cobbins came over to the rescue and swatted Johnson's shot into the hands of Self on the Jayhawks' bench. Brian Williams knocked the ball away from Tharpe to give OSU a chance at the win, but Smart missed a wild, off-balance jumper from the right wing and time ran out with the game tied at 57.
Forte drilled a 3-pointer from the left corner with 56.4 seconds left to tie it at 63 in the first overtime. The game went to a second overtime after McLemore air-balled a 3-pointer, Smart came up empty on a drive and Releford missed a driving attempt for Kansas. Smart's desperation shot from three-quarters court grazed the front of the rim.
"It was crazy," Releford said. "We knew it was going to be a tough match. With the crowd on their side and them being at home, we just knew we had to come out and just tough it out, and we did."
KU Release:
No. 9 Jayhawks Notch Road Win in Double OT, 68-67
STILLWATER, Okla. — Kansas head coach Bill Self threw two triumphant fist pumps and hugged senior guard Travis Releford as No. 9/9 KU closed a frantic, double-overtime win over Oklahoma State, 68-67, in Gallagher-Iba Arena late Wednesday night.
Releford, who poured in a team-best 18 points, summed up the effort needed to pull out the win by diving for a loose ball rebound in the game's waning seconds, then celebrated after helping Kansas (22-4, 10-3 Big 12) take a tightly-contested battle of Big 12 leaders. Naadir Tharpe's spin move in the lane and floater over OSU's Joe Forte with 16 seconds to play proved to be the deciding basket of a game that saw 23 total lead changes, 16 ties and the largest lead at just five points.
Markel Brown led all scorers with 20 points, and was one of three Cowboys in double figures, but in the end Oklahoma State (19-6, 9-4 Big 12) was bested on its home court for the first time in Big 12 play and for just the second time this season.
Jeff Withey scored 17 points for Kansas, including X in overtime, and pulled down a season-best 14 rebounds. Elijah Johnson added 10 points for KU before fouling out in the first overtime period and Kevin Young ripped down 11 rebounds to go with eight points.
Kansas felt it was outworked on the glass in the Feb. 2 loss in Allen Fieldhouse and showed an emphasis on rebounding early in the game. The Jayhawks snagged four offensive rebounds in the first four minutes and scored their first three buckets off put backs – one by Releford and two by Young.
Neither team was able to put much distance between itself and the other in the first half with a three-point margin at 15-12 after a pair of free throws by Forte at the 7:21 mark representing the largest lead. That didn't last long, however, as Johnson hit a runner in the lane after a short stint on the bench with foul trouble, then Kansas turned a failed break by OSU into a fast break dunk by Young to take the lead.
Two of the leaders for Big 12 Conference Player and Freshman of the Year, Marcus Smart and Ben McLemore couldn't find a way to knock down a bucket in the game's first 20 minutes. Smart scored four points – all from the free-throw line – but went 0-for-5 from the field. McLemore provided one of the most exciting plays of the half, a put back dunk just after the buzzer sounded – keeping him scoreless after an 0-for-8 performance.
Kansas used the putbacks and eight points from Jeff Withey to hold a 20-8 edge in points in the paint at halftime but both teams entered their locker rooms tied at 26-26, Kansas' first tie at the break all season.
The see-saw scoring continued early in the second half before back-to-back lay-ups by Releford got Kansas its own three-point lead, and another leaner in the lane by Johnson pushed it to five, 36-31 with 14:50 to play. In the end, Johnson's bucket provided the largest margin, but that lead too was short lived.
Despite the lack of field goals, Smart found his way to the free throw line and scored 16 points on 2-of-14 shooting from the field and 11-of-14 shooting from the charity stripe. One of Smart's two makes was one of the most important for OSU, a three-pointer with a little more than a minute left to tie the game at 57-57. He hand an attempt at a fadeaway jumper just inside the three-point arc as time expired, but it wouldn't go and sent the game to extra time.
KU's McLemore also found his way into the scoring totals in the second half also, going 3-for-3 in the game's second 20 minutes, including the Jayhawks' only three-pointer. McLemore finished with seven points and six rebounds.
Kansas was winning a free-throw contest in the first overtime as the team hit 6-of-8 from the line to OSU's 3-of-6, but Forte ended the field goal drought, and an 0-for-6 slump of his own, with a three in the corner to tie it at 63-63 – the only field goal of the first overtime period. Both teams had opportunities in the final seconds but Smart's three-quarters court attempt glanced off the front of the rim as time expired.
Oklahoma State seemed to grasp the upper hand in the second overtime and took a 65-63 lead on a jumper by Forte, but Michael Cobbins fouled out and Smart followed soon after as Releford took a key charge on a delayed Cowboys' break.
Withey hit a pair of free throws, then Brown took his turn as the go-to scorer for Oklahoma State and gave the Cowboys a 67-66 lead, prompting a timeout by Self and setting the stage for Tharpe. After the go-ahead bucket for KU, Brown missed an attempt on the other end, Forte corralled the rebound momentarily but Releford poked it away and time expired.
Kansas looks for more redemption and will get a second shot at Big 12 newcomer TCU when the Horned Frogs visit Allen Fieldhouse Saturday for a 3 p.m. tilt on the Big 12 Network. The Jayhawks will celebrate 115 years of Kansas Basketball by welcoming back former players and team personnel. Additionally, KU Athletics will distribute three-point cards courtesy of Pittcraft.

Most babies will now be positioned longitudinally (lying straight up and down, with their head well in the pelvis). Even now, when space is limited in these final weeks, there is still time for the position to change to head down if your baby is bottom first (breech).
The blood flow to your baby's lungs mirrors the development of the airways. Blood leaves the right side of the heart through a one-way valve into the main pulmonary vein. This then divides to give a pulmonary branch to each lung, and also a duct that allows blood to bypass the lungs and travel to the body directly. This will close soon after birth as the lungs expand and their resistance to blood flow falls.
Because your baby doesn't use his lungs for gas exchange in the uterus, the blood supply to them is quite small-only 10 percent of the post-birth supply. At this stage of pregnancy, the lungs' blood supply has completed its development, branching into finer and finer vessels as they come to lie closer to the alveoli.
When your baby is born, her chest is compressed in the birth canal and this helps to push the fluid out of the lungs in preparation for that incredible first breath. If your baby is born by cesarean, she will need first to bring the fluid up by herself. This is not a problem but for this reason the first breaths of a baby born by cesarean can be full of mucus.
Make sure you have all the items you need for your hospital bag. Remember to include items for yourself as well as the baby and, if you know you're having a cesarean, pack enough items for a few days.

Your partner should also get a bag ready for himself (see What's in your hospital bag?) and ensure the car seat is installed. Pack snacks and drinks closer to the time, but think about what you might need.
