Sweet Serenade
THE PARTY For The Children's Alliance of Hawaii, all of Honolulu came out in droves to The Royal Hawaiian. Thanks to the hot riffs of Hot Club of Hulaville, the evening was a romantic journey back to the 1940s. THE HIGHLIGHTS While guests mingled on the hotel's famous lawn, there was fierce competition over silent auction items! (Staycays, top dining and original art were up for grabs.) After dinner, singer Willow Chang wowed the crowd with her blue notes and hip-shaking. THE PLAYERS The Children's Alliance of Hawaii's Chairman A. James Wriston and President Joan Naguwa, emcee Harry B. Soria, Mary Worrall, Edgy Lee. Photography by Jonas Maon

I have several sets $A_i$ and bijections between them. (As stated in my theorem) no composition of these bijections produces a permutation of $A_i$ not equal to identity. So every bijection is identified by the pair of sets between which it acts.
It would be to cumbersome to denote every bijection with a special letter (such as $\Phi$). I want to write it in some consise way.
For example I could denote the bijection from $A_i$ to $A_j$ as $\phi_{A_i,A_j}$ but this is not formally right as I would first to prove $A_i\ne A_j$. Then I would denote it $\phi_{i,j}$ but this way I would need explicitly number my sets, but I'd better to use English names or maybe letters to denote the sets not numbers.
The best solution I found insofar is to denote every set with some letter and denote my bijections as $\phi_{\alpha,\beta}$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ determine some sets. This solution is not ideal, because it would involve for each considered set two different notations to denote it: say $A_1$ and $\alpha$.
This is insofar the best solution I know. But maybe somebody may suggest me a better language to formulate my theorem?

Why were the Nuremberg trials after WWII for the Germans only? The same charges used against the the Germans could be easily extended to the Japanese or possibly Italians. They have committed as much war atrocities as the others against the Chinese and POW. Why was not the Japanese Emperor and his generals charged as most of the German counterparts?
Look up the Tokyo trials. As for the Italians, they weren't implicated in war crimes on the same scale as the Germans and Japanese.
Japanese war criminals were tried in Tokyo after the war. Generals Tojo (the former Japanese Prime Minister) and Yamashita (in charge of the Philippines) were hanged as a result.

In Nitrome's 100th game, Nitrome Must Die, there are a lot of weapons. In the first few levels you see your basic Machinegun, Pistol, Shotgun... but then you start to get cool referential weaponry. Like the Chisel of the eponymous game, or the Fireball from their Trap series. And you play further and find the arrow weapons each from Bow Contest and Twin Shot. Each day that I play the game, I end up running into a handful of new weapons. There are a lot of weapons.
Can someone produce a list of all of the weapons in the game? Would be excellent if it sourced the ones that are references, but that's not as necessary.

I've always wondered, that since the Earth is moving at a very fast velocity around the Sun, why is it that when astronauts leave the Earth, the Earth doesn't immediately move away from them at extremely large speeds?
Because you were also in orbit around the sun with the Earth and still have that velocity.
You may be imagining this in terms of stepping off of a slow moving vehicle on the Earth: you jump off, you come to a stop relative the ground and watch the trolley car go it's merry way. But that is a feature of friction between you and the ground. There is no such thing as a absolute reference frame in the universe and when you "leave the Earth" you don't come to stop relative anything so that you can watch the Earth fly away.
Newton's laws apply here: "a body in motion (that's the you or the planet) will continue in motion unless acted on by an external force". You just keep going except for changed induced by your drive.
Imagine that you're sitting in a car that's sitting on a wide flatbed truck. The truck is moving down the freeway at, say, 65 miles per hour. You step out of the car onto the bed of the truck. You've just left an object that's moving at 65 mph, but it doesn't move away from you -- because you, the car, and the truck are all still moving at 65 mph relative to the ground.
Now step off the truck onto the freeway. (Don't actually try this!) Your ground-relative speed will rapidly diminish from 65 mph to 0, and you'll see the truck, with the car on it, continue moving off into the distance. (You'll also have numerous broken bones.) This happens because a force was applied to you when you hit the ground. From the point of view of the truck driver, the ground hit you and rapidly propelled you backwards.
When you "step off" the Earth by launching into space, there is no "ground" to hit you and push you backwards. Your initial momentum continues to carry you along in Solar orbit.
We can view the situation from any of several points of view, or "frames of reference".
From a Sun-centered frame of reference (where the Sun is treated as stationary), you start out travelling in Solar orbit along with the Earth, then you leave Earth with enough velocity to escape the planet, but not enough to leave Solar orbit. (Earth's escape velocity is about 11 kilometers per second; Earth's orbital velocity around the sun is about 30 kps.)
From an Earth-centered frame of reference (where the Earth doesn't move but it does rotate), you start out on the Earth's surface, moving at a few hundred kilometers per hour because of the Earth's rotation, then you accelerate and leave the surface. You have, let's say, barely enough velocity to leave the Earth, but not enough leave it at a very high speed. Since we're treating the Earth as stationary, its orbital movement around the Sun can be ignored.
Both of these frames of reference are valid, and calculations using either of them will yield the same description of what happens physically. This is the basis for the theory of relativity, though everything I've described has been known since Newton.
Because until you're far enough to leave Earth's gravitational field, you will still feel it. That means that if you go into space (say at ISS level) and put on a spacesuit and go for a walk, you'll still be moving with the Earth as it rotates around the Sun.
When you've traveled far enough that the force of Earth's gravitational field is negligible, you will see movement.
The title question and the text question are different. The title question "Why doesn't the Earth leave you as soon as you escape it?" has the answer: the Earth does leave you as soon as you escape it. The definition of "escape" is greater than escape velocity (around 11 km/s), which means that you no longer orbit the Earth. You and the Earth will be moving away from each other.
Unless you have also reached escape velocity from the Sun (about 17 km/s from the Earth), then you will still be orbiting the Sun, and so with no other maneuvers you will come close to intersecting Earth's orbit every one of your orbits (depending on the effect of other planets, mainly Jupiter), and you may eventually reencounter the Earth depending on the phases of your orbits.
The text question asks about astronauts leaving the Earth. To date, astronauts have never reached escape velocity, and the vast majority of them (all but 24 of them) have been confined to low-Earth orbit (about 8 km/s). So the answer to the text question is that astronauts (so far) are bound to the Earth by their orbits.

Halli Borgfjord
Halli Borgfjord grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan in a well-rounded family where he enjoyed the comfort of suburban life. Being the middle child, Halli was naturally inclined to be in the spotlight and initially had childhood dreams of becoming an actor, but as a young teenager Halli fell in love with the show "Friday Night Stand-Up" on Comedy Central and from that moment on knew someday he would be a comedian himself. All through grade school and into college Halli was the biggest student of stand-up. While his friends were buying the latest pop albums, Halli was listening to George Carlin and going to see legends such as Jerry Seinfeld and Mitch Hedberg in concert.
Due to his relentless study and passion for comedy Halli was a natural on stage. Starting his comedy career in college, Halli became an instant success with his quick wit and ability to point out the insanity of everyday life. Shortly after beginning his stand-up career, Halli obtained some success by becoming a finalist in a local stand-up competition and from there he began to perform in the bigger clubs in Chicago and across the midwest.
Halli now resides in Los Angeles, CA and is a crowd favorite all across the country. Halli appears regularly in Las Vegas opening for comedy legend, Louie Anderson and he also appeared briefly on the 2010 Green Card Tour with Russell Peters. In Los Angeles, Halli runs his own regular show, "A Comedy SmorgasBorg" at the World Famous Comedy Store and is a regular on the hottest college show in the country, "Comedy Juice." Halli has been featured in Life Magazine and in August 2010 Campus Activities Magazine named Halli to their "Hot Comedy" list as one of the top comedians of 2011. In September 2010 Halli released his first full-length comedy album"Have You Been Borgfjorded Lately?" The album debuted at #2 overall on the iTunes Top Comedy Charts. Halli continues to tour nationally and his comedy album is currently available on iTunes and Amazon.

What is a venture capitalist investor looking for when considering an investment? A weatherization company with a biz plan for explosive growth? A startup with the next must-have energy saver or weatherization widget?
I think investors should look at investing in ACI to go mainstream multimedia and make energy education as step one of a Manhattan Project for efficiency. Lots of fronts for return-on-investment. All must-have technologies started with cultivating the demand; no different for must-have ultra-efficiency.
What area of our industry do others think would make for a good investment?
Hey guys! Here's a neat opportunity kind of following on the heels of the Twitter feed of the social media class:
What do YOU want to know from the venture capitalist investors that will be at the summit?
Post your questions here and we'll try to get them all asked!
Hmmm...not sure streaming would work, because the plan is to have several stations set up so people can get hands-on experience with their social media channel of choice.
I love the idea of taking questions from the Twitter gallery, though. Allison, Amanda, Peter: what do you think?
Retrotec will be there. Ron's going to show off our new Model 1000 fan, and will be passing out information on the free training materials (video and ppt) that we're offering to anyone who's interested (contact me if you'd like to see something ahead of time). The training covers anything you need to know for blower door and duct testing, and BPI CEUs are available.
They're not sending me, which is a shame as I'd like to meet those who are attending the Social Media session. Anyone able to stream it online? take questions from the Twitter gallery?
Thanks, Jennifer.
If anyone out there has media contacts they think would be interested in attending the summit, the core conference or both (or just receiving news about ACI), please let them know they would be very welcome. They can request press credentials via the press room. Of if you'd like us to reach out to them for you, email me at email@example.com

The Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) is an educational institute/think tank devoted to the study of international migration, to the promotion of understanding between immigrants and receiving communities, and to public policies that safeguard the dignity and rights of migrants, refugees and newcomers (www.cmsny.org). CMS was established in 1964 and formally incorporated in 1969 by the Congregation of the Missionaries of St. Charles, Scalabrinians, an international community of Catholic priests, nuns and lay people dedicated to serving migrants and refugees. CMS is a member of the Scalabrini International Migration Network (SIMN), a global network of more than 270 entities that provide services to migrants, including shelters along migrant corridors and welcoming (integration) centers in receiving communities.
CMS operates as a legally distinct, tax-exempt agency, with an independent board of trustees. It carries out its mission in five principal ways:
• Publication of journals (including the International Migration Review and the Journal on Migration and Human Security), books, conference proceedings and other papers.
• Sponsorship of conferences, meetings, briefings, symposia and dialogues.
• Production of evidence-based, policy-relevant research.
• Provision of expert support to local, national and international institutions, particularly faith-based institutions.
• Maintenance of extensive archives on the history of immigration in the United States.
CMS works with policy-makers on international, regional, national and local levels; scholars and researchers; faith-based groups; non-governmental organizations; and other civil society organizations. CMS enjoys consultative status at the United Nations.

Google's Wave tool suffers from a "just another inbox" problem. So it's great to see Wave running inside a tab in Thunderbird, right next to your email inbox, with a single JavaScript line.
Among Thunderbird 3's new features is Content Tabs, a way to monitor other web sites and web-based messaging from inside Thunderbird. The Quetzalcoatal blog hacked together a little code that opens Wave cleanly and conveniently inside one of these tabs, and even keeps it open after you restart Thunderbird.
To load it up, head to the Tools menu, select Error Console, and enter this line (be sure to select all of it):
Hit the "Evaluate" button when you're done, and you'll see a new tab asking for your Wave login. Log in, click "Remember" to have Thunderbird remember your password, and now it's just like having a little browser tab opened on Wave.

I am embarassed to pose this question. It is a generalization of a question asked less than 24 hours ago by an unknonw (Google), which has been deleted since then, presumably by its author (her/)himself.
Let $M\in M_n(\mathbb R)$ be given. A version of the question can be written for non-square matrices. Complex entries may be considered as well. Its singular values $s_1\ge s_2\ge \cdots\ge s_n(\ge0)$ are given by the Rayleigh--Weyl formula $$s_k=\inf_{\dim F=n+1-k}\sup_{\quad x\in F|x\ne0} \frac{\|Mx\|_2}{\|x\|_2}=\sup_{\dim F=k}\inf_{\quad x\in F|x\ne0} \frac{\|Mx\|_2}{\|x\|_2},$$
where $\|\cdot\|_p$ stands for the $\ell^p$-norm over $\mathbb R$.
When $p\in[1,+\infty]$, $\ell^p$ version of the singular values, denoted $s_{k,p}(M)$, could be defined the same way, but replacing the $\ell^2$-norm by the $\ell^p$ one. When $p=2$, we know $s_kM)=s_k(M^T)$. Hence the question:
Is there a relation between $s_{k,p}(M)$ and $s_{k,p'}(M^T)$, when $p$ and $p'$ are conjugate exponent ?
A first attempt, unsuccessful, is to pretend that given $F$ or dimension $k$, there exists a $G$ of the same dimension such that for every $x\in F$, one has $$\|x\|_{p}=\sup_{y\in G|y\neq 0}\frac{y^Tx}{\|y\|_{p'}}.$$ Unfortunately, this is false in most cases, even thoug it is true for $p=2$ (take $G=F$) and for $k=1$ (Hahn-Banach).

We're guessing it wouldn't easily get through airport security screeners.
It's that time of year again. The time when Victoria's Secret unveils its annual amazingly expensive Fantasy Bra. And this year, it's a Royal Fantasy Bra.
Candice Swanepoel, 23, did the honors today, showing off the $10 million bit of lingerie at Herald Square in New York.
She wore Zuhair Murad for today's unveiling.
Swanepoel will be wearing the dazzling, bejeweled underthing designed by jeweler Mouawad at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She'll also be featured wearing the bra in the Victoria's Secret Dreams & Fantasies Catalog, according to the Daily Mail.
"They had to mold my body to be able to make [the bra], and I was really excited," Swanepoel told People.com. "I tried to imagine after they'd done the mold, how would they make it, how it would look. My imagination didn't do it justice. My favorite part is this beautiful 52-carat pear-shaped ruby (hanging from the middle of the bra). Every part of it is exquisite."
The 18-karat gold bra is made with more than 4,200 precious stone. "It's kind of a big ordeal," she told People. "The bra comes with two bodyguards and we have to handle it with a lot of care!"
"500 hrs. $10 million. 1 #VSFantasyBra. See @angelcandice rock it on the #VSFashionShow on 12/10 at 10/9c @cbs!" tweeted Victoria's Secret today.

Is it possible to boil an egg in the microwave?
Ideally without having to pierce the shell first
Put a microwave safe bowl in the microwave with just enough water to cover the eggs, but don't put the eggs in yet! High setting for 1.5 minutes till it boils, Add about a tablespoon of vinegar and a tablespoon of salt. This will keep the eggs from cracking and will make them easier to peel. Add the eggs and cover with a dish, but leave a slight gap for steam to escape. Medium setting for 8 minutes (check after 5 minutes to see if there is still enough water covering the eggs, some microwaves are more powerful than others. Take out the bowl and let it sit for another 5 minutes or so and you should be ready to peel and eat...
It's possible to blow open the door of your microwave if you try it on high for too long. For best results, watch it from about a foot away.
I decided to post this as an answer instead of a reply to @AttilaNYC . I think you're better off just boiling it. I'm a big of fan of doing and cooking stuff fast; however, eggs are too perfect and to lean to do that. Boil the damn water, dump your egg in it until it's done. I don't love, but I like this site.
Be careful putting whole eggs in the microwave. A relative of mine was burned on her face (fortunately not severely). After removing the egg from the microwave it exploded.
I've been using the Nordic Ware Microwave Egg Boiler for a few years. Depending on the size of the eggs, you'll need between 6.5 and 8 minutes at 1100 watts. Once you've settled on a brand and size of eggs, you can get them perfect every time - hard boiled, soft yolk etc. by tweaking the cooking time between those two values.
Fantastic gadget, 4.5+ stars on Amazon with over 1200 reviews.
I have heard that you can wrap each egg in a piece of alum. foil, being sure all shell is covered. Put in a micro safe dish with water to cover fully or preheat a sufficient qty of water then add eggs. The foil prevents the microwaves from penetrating the shell and causing exploding eggs. The water is supposed to prevent arcing.
Timing would depend on amt of eggs and water, and whether you preheated.
*WARNING* I HAVE NOT tried this myself, but it sounds reasonable

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I don't think the scientific literature would necessarily describe the process as "shifting thought between subconscious and conscious awareness" but putting exact definitions aside, obviously this does occur.
When I recall information, in some sense information is being moved from the unconscious to the conscious part of my mind. By focusing on a different task I am able to switch my attention to something else. Thus, what was previously the focus of my consciousness no longer is.
You could think about top-down versus bottom up processes of allocating attention, where top-down refers to where attention is driven more by the individual and bottom-up refers to when attention is driven more by environmental cues.
There are also many other psychological constructs that are concerned with self-regulation of conscious experience. See for example thought suppression and avoidance coping strategies.

The TPC Group board of directors said it determined in good faith, after consultation with independent legal and financial advisors, that this offer could lead to a superior proposal. As such, the board said it will carefully consider and evaluate the non-binding proposal from Innospec in coming weeks.
TPC Group, a leading C4 hydrocarbon processing firm formerly
known as Texas Petrochemical, said Monday that it
received a non-binding proposal to be acquired by specialty
chemicals company Innospec.
As part of the proposal, Innospec is pursuing the
acquisition of all of TPC Group's common shares for an all-cash
purchase price in the range of $44-46 per share, representing
an overall deal value of over $700 million.
The proposal is subject to certain conditions, including the
securing requisite debt financing, completion of due diligence
and receipt of internal approvals.
Equity financing for the proposed acquisition will be
provided by Blackstone Capital Partners VI, L.P., managed by
Blackstone on behalf of its private equity investors.
The TPC Group board of directors said it determined in good
faith, after consultation with its independent legal and
financial advisors, that this proposal could lead to a superior
As such, the board said it will carefully consider and
evaluate the non-binding proposal from Innospec and its equity
financing partner, and has authorized discussions and
negotiations with them.
Moreover, TPC has already made arrangements to facilitate
their due diligence review.
TPC said it does not anticipate disclosing any further
developments unless the TPC Group board makes a decision,
adding that there are no guarantees that negotiations will
result in a deal.
As presently built, Innospec largely produces
specialty additives for use in fuels.

They can actually be had for $300-500 nowdays.. for the more basic, uglier, DIY ones :D
This one looks pretty promising (for an expensive one):
@drchops: Wow. That really does look impressive. Not open or exposed like some of the other 3d printers I've seen.
@royceeddington: lol that's it's funny you say that.. I was thinking about that the other day: it does look WAY better than the other ones.. infinitely more appealing - but literally almost the only visible difference is the fact it has an orange transparent box around the top :)
Funny how that works.. appearance is everything I guess
But that aside, it really does look like a NICE printer.. hopefully the prices keep coming down.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (AP) -- The owners of a home-based Derby hat business are getting noticed for their appealing designs and reasonable prices.
The owners of Hataritaville, Terri Pfeiffer and John Thompsett, have been too busy in recent years to travel from Elizabethtown to attend the annual horse race.
Pfeiffer began decorating Derby hats after a customer at an art studio asked if they made them.
The News-Enterprise reports that one of their hat designs was worn to the Derby by Vicki Gunvalson of TV's "Real Housewives of Orange County."
Pfeiffer and Thompsett typically sell their hats for $80 or $100. Pfeiffer says she hopes to one day open a small store, but for now their business is doing just fine.

Does Chemoembolization Work?
Last Modified: January 7, 2013
Is there usually a good response from having a chemoembolization? How long should you wait to get a scan after having it done?
Ginna Deitrick, CRNP, MSN, Nurse Practitioner for Interventional Radiology at Penn Medicine responds.
Both chemoembolization (TACE) and SIRSpheres embolization are equally effective in treating carcinoid tumors. With chemoembolization one should generally wait at least 4-6 weeks before repeating imaging, whereas for a radioembolization (SIRSpheres) we generally wait 3 months before repeating imaging to be able to view the full response to treatment. People vary in their responses to chemoembolization and radioembolization. Some are more responsive to one type of therapy than the other, but unfortunately the only way to tell the response is to perform the procedure. Overall there is above a 50% response to either therapy.

It is a small, cozy, den of gastronomic decadence that's a bit hard to find if it weren't for the bronze plaque outside the front door which tips you off that it isn't someone's apartment building. As you step inside the double doors, you're greeted with warm lighting, hundreds of wines and a friendly atmosphere. What particular element that makes this place so inviting is the way they've chosen to display the menu and wine list.

My Favorite Techniques for Overcoming Performance Anxiety in Trading
I thought that both the comments of readers and their emailed suggestions offered very useful ideas regarding the handling of performance pressures in trading. In this post, I'll add two suggestions of my own.
* Self-hypnosis - This builds on the ideas from my first trading book, The Psychology of Trading. When a trader is responding to a trading situation with anxiety, I ask the trader to close his eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, fix his attention on a musical selection, and hold his hands in front of him with palms facing each other a couple feet apart. The music, taken from Philip Glass' early works, has a highly repetitive structure and serves as an object of focus. After an extended period of the slow, rhythmical breathing and focus on the music, I then suggest to the trader to imagine that there is a magnet between his hands, pulling them slowly and steadily together. As his hands are drawn closer and closer, I suggest, he will find himself feeling more and more relaxed, calm, and confident. The exercise is brought to a close when the palms finally touch. Altogether the exercise lasts at least 15 minutes.
The exercise becomes a self-hypnosis routine when traders give themselves suggestions during the time that the hands are moving together. For example, they might suggest to themselves (internally or even via a self-made audio tape) that, as their hands move together, they will feel increasingly accepting of a recent loss and able to put it behind them. The key is to enter a highly focused and relaxed state prior to the self-suggestions and to perform the exercise thoroughly and regularly on a daily basis. Over time, traders find it easier to enter the focused state of relaxation and invoke their own suggestions. Eventually it's possible to get back to that state (and activate the suggestions) by merely taking a couple of deep breaths and bringing one's hands together. This makes the technique very practical for real-time trading situations, when all you have time for is perhaps a few deep breaths and a simple gesture. Repetition is essential to such mastery.
* Reprogramming Anxiety Through Biofeedback - Regular readers know that I consider biofeedback to be a best practice in trading, with broad application to a variety of emotional situations that affect performance. Of late, I've been making use of heart rate variability feedback through the Freeze-Framer program, which offers a nice graphical interface to help users track their progress and visually determine whether or not they're in "the zone". In the first step of biofeedback training, I simply teach traders how to enter the zone, as above, by regulating their breathing and sustaining a tight cognitive focus. This, by itself, is a very useful skill that can serve as a preventive measure regarding performance stress.
Once the trader becomes adept at this, I then add a second component to the exercise: The trader must vividly visualize a mildly anxiety-producing trading situation while hooked up to the biofeedback and maintaining the calm focus. Once the trader can repeatedly visualize this low-anxiety situation and sustain "the zone" on the biofeedback readout, we then move to a second, higher-level anxiety scenario. Often it's helpful to vividly imagine variations of the same scenario in separate biofeedback sessions. Eventually we move to the most anxiety-producing situations, repeating them over and over in variations, until the trader can sustain the calm focus even in the worst case scenarios. The added benefit of this method is that it teaches traders what they need to do to get their minds and bodies under control. This awareness can then filter down to real time, when all the trader needs to do is focus attention and regulate breathing during stressful market periods. A variation of the biofeedback work that is quite effective involves practicing constructive self-talk while staying in the zone.
Notice that both of these methods involve shifting one's state--physically, cognitively, and emotionally--as a way of dealing with performance pressure. By enhancing our control over our states, we can place ourselves in modes of thinking and feeling that are incompatible with performance anxiety. My experience is that traders can learn this competency on their own or with only a minimum of coaching intervention. With steady practice, one develops a degree of self-mastery that carries over to other areas of life. I believe I'm much more able to deal with life's various stresses as a result of what I've learned from managing my trades--and my reactions to those trades!

This exercise reminds me of Chi Kung, a Chinese traditional exercise, when the two palms facing each other will emit some magnetic force.
I use this exercise sometimes not only to relieve stress but to relieve pain of a bad back.
It is a universal panacea for all pains, including stress.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi AnaTrader,
I wasn't aware of that traditional Chinese exercise; thanks so much for passing along!
- MIsstrade said...
I try and take the testosterone out of my buddy and imagine myself as a female trader. Believe me patience is the utmost importance in making me more successful and that's what I need to do to put me in the right frame along with breathing.
Use my estrogen to get me in the right frame of mind, just what I wrote about today.
- Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D. said...
Hi Misstrade,
Much to be said for patience and taking the ego out of trading; thanks!

Here are the websites of Qigong or chi kung :
Hope you or your readers can benefit from them.

I lost 50% of my account in Aug/Sept. I also lost my mind getting up in the morning with a seething nihilistic rage and generally being an idiot everywhere and with just about everyone.
One day I got up and decided I wanted to refocus my rage so I went to the gym and burnt myself out with exhaustion.
But my rage was done, instead the steady and increased levels of endorphins in my body changed my rage without trying.
Today in one month my portfolio has no more losses and I am up on 3 of my 4positions.
I think doing something fun helps as does constant exhaustive physical exertion.
- Patrick Glancy, CH said...
Good suggestions :) Biofeedback is a branch off of hypnosis. Different forms of exercises make a person focus on something for a short amount of and clears the mind for a moment - also a form of hypnosis. I've worked with lots of anxieties but never for trading!

|Check-in before
Clean and a good restaurant!
The position of the apartment is very good. The apartment could use a brush up. I am very angry that they charge 80 € for final cleaning. The apartment was very dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The bathroom was full of mould fungus and the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned for years, it was black from dirt on the lower part. There was a lot of big stains on the bed covers, they had not been cleaned for a long time. The price for this apartment is way too high when it is so dirty. Today, 4 days after we left, me and my daughter still have problems with our respiration.
After paying for this property I got an email a few days later saying that there had been a double booking and my booking was not valid.
The company were polite and efficient and I got my refund within a few days, but it was disappointing.
Booked a hotel instead.
It was a fantanstic stay in the apartment in Le Ginestre.
The beach is very nice and in the town are a few supermarkets.
Unfortunately was the wifi (we had to pay for that) not so well, in our apartment we had no signal.
Service at the village center was excellent.
the house is clean and well equipped beside very old TV that should be replaced and dishwasher that is missing.
beside the master bedroom, rest of the sleeping rooms are for children only.
location is perfect - at the heart of the region .
The floor was dusty. Apartment is on the 5th floor without lift (no information on description) Be carefull for additional costs (bed linen, towels, taxes) Cleaning charged per person !!!! Wifi very expensive (24 Euro per week for 1GB) You must pickup and drop key 1,2 miles from apartment. Excellent furnitures on desciption - just typical table with chairs and sofa (nothing special) You must defrozen refrigerator but you cannot turn off. Huge PLUS - location !!!
This was an overall appalling experience and thus has led our family to never rent from Wimdu ever again moving forward. As the photos advertised a lovely apartment (not cheap, I might add - about $300 per night), we realized upon arrival and after reading the fine print that the photos on the post were simply an "example" of an apartment that you MIGHT be placed in. After taking an expensive cab ride to pick up the key and digging through pages of contracts to find the code to unlock the door and the safebox, we then had to take another expensive cab to the other side of the city where the apartment was located. The location was fine but we had to drag our heavy bags up three flights of stairs, because the apartment did not have a lift. When we arrived, the apartment was tiny and nothing like the photos online. The worst part was then at checkout, we were expected to return the key to the safebox again on the other side of town. These people BRIDGESTREET ARE COMPLETE FRAUDS! Do not rent from them. Ever.
Apartment is exactly as described.2 rooms ,clean,suitable for a family with upto two kids with a small kitchen.Its 30 mins by bus from the apartment to the altsatdt but the bus stop is only 20m away from the apartment.Could have been better if wifi was also provided.the host was really good, also giving us some suggestions on places to visit for kids.
Will definetly recommend to others.
Apartment was great: decent size with one double bed, two singles and a sofa bed in lounge, which we didn't use, but would have made a decent third bedroom. No wifi in apartment so paid 30 € for a gadget to get us all on line for a week but that was hopeless, not worth the money. In terms of location, Levante beach is not nearly as nice as Poniente. There is a bus (apparently) my son tried use, but that was difficult and took ages. So we used the car to get to the nice beach. Restaurants and bars all better at Old Town. We used this as a base only. If you want somewhere rough, full of stag parties, streets smelling strongly of urine and vomit, Levante is for you. Otherwise stay near the old town or Poniente beach. The apartment is fine but the location is not. I would also add its about a ten minute walk up a steep hill back from bars, perhaps not ideal for lone ladies.
The car park is accessed either by an illegal manoeuvre ( turning right when a right turn is not permitted) or you can find a road which is a detour of about four miles. Everyone does the illegal manoeuvre but it is not at all ideal.
What really made this house great was the outside area; great swimming pool and enough space around with nice seats. Also de patio was a great spot for dinner and lunch.
The interior was not great; no airco of fan (so HOT), bad kitchen equipment (old or simply missed) and not quite clean.
Staff of Interhome gave us good support.

STEUBENVILLE - A small crowd of protesters stood vigil Saturday night outside of the Jefferson County Justice Center during closing arguments of the rape trial in Jefferson County Juvenile Court.
While several people held signs, flashlights and battery-operated candles, others, including men and women wearing the Guy Fawkes masks used by protesters at Anonymous-sponsored rallies, gave interviews to media representatives.
"I came here tonight for the young girl. I think what happened to her was wrong and I stand here tonight for Jane Doe," stated Reva Gugliemotti of Hartley Hill, a small community in Brooke County.

PROTEST AT JUSTICE CENTER — Approximately 50 protesters stood outside of the Jefferson County Justice Center Saturday night including Reva Guglielmotti of Hartley Hill, W.Va., during closing arguments of the juvenile rape trial. Gugliemotti said she will return when visiting Judge Thomas Lipps delivers his ruling on the case at 10 a.m. -- Dave Gossett
"This is very sad and I will be here again when the judge announces his ruling," she added. Visiting Judge Thomas Lipps, who heard the testimony in the Steubenville rape case, is expected to issue his ruling at 10 a.m. today.
Her friend, Tammy McClure, of Wellsburg said she also came to support the 16-year-old victim.
"It is just a shame this happened. I am hoping for justice for Jane Doe," McClure said.
Earlier in the evening, Chris and Debbi Zajac stood in front of the Jefferson County Courthouse waiting for a candlelight vigil.
"I would like to know why this was held in juvenile court instead of an adult court. I also want to know why officials tried to cover this up when it first occurred," questioned Chris Zajac.
Two men who said they were with the group Anonymous said they had attended every Anonymous rally and had been at the justice center since the trial started Wednesday.
"My Twitter handle is Mission No Leash so you can call me that. We all want justice for Jane Doe. And no matter what happens in this case we won't stop. We will go onto the next operation. We were also in Weirton earlier today for a rally to protest the dismissal of charges against a man who had been accused of abusing a 3-year-old child in 2011.
"That guy was re-arrested, so we are good with that case right now," said Mission No Leash.
The second masked man said he was a 67-year-old Vietnam veteran who came to the protest Saturday night, "for women and kids. This stuff shouldn't be happening to them."
"I want justice to be done in this case," stated Judy Fogiletti of Steubenville.
"I want justice and I want this city to return to normalcy. I grew up in this city and I never saw it this bad," she added.
"A horrible thing happened to Jane Doe. It wouldn't have gotten this far if officials had done their job from the beginning. I have attended every rally and will be here until this is finished," said a female wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.

Typically, I set the timezone of my computer's clock by changing the .bashrc file, appending, say,
TZ='America/Los_Angeles'; export TZ such that whenever
date is invoked the right time in the right timezone is returned. However, after probing awesome, it seems that running
echo $TZ in awesome returns something other than when I run
echo $TZ in my own terminal.
According to any instance of a lua repl,
echo $TZ also appears to return the correct timezone (in accordance with the .bashrc).
How would I go about synchronising the timezones across the programs?

A judge has denied a request for bond from a Louisville man charged with fatally shooting two members of his homeowners association.
Mahmoud Yousef Hindi has been held without bond since he was jailed after the Sept. 6 shooting at an eastern Louisville church.
Jefferson Circuit Judge Fred Cowan denied Hindi's request to set a bond during a hearing on Monday.
Prosecutors argued that Hindi's statement to police admitting that he shot and killed 73-year-old David Merritt and 69-year-old Marvin Fisher should be enough to keep him held without the possibility of bond.
Hindi, a former physician, has declared that he has no money and is being represented by a public defender. Hindi's attorney, Mike Lemke, declined to comment after Monday's ruling.

Caretaking With Humor
After growing up with a mother who nursed two sickly husbands, novelist Jane Heller vowed never to be saddled with an unhealthy mate. But when her own husband is diagnosed with a debilitating disease, she has to become what she dreads most: a caregiver.
"You'd Better Not Die or I'll Kill You" draws its title from the words she whispers to her husband as he is wheeled into surgery. It is that dark humor that carries her though the demands of her new role.
About 65 million people in the U.S. are caregivers, according to the National Family Caregivers Association, which means 29% of the population "is walking around stretched and pulled in all directions," Ms. Heller writes. Though there are organizations, websites, books and blogs to help, Heller aims to offer a different perspective—the importance of dealing with one's own emotions and needs in order to have the strength to provide care to others.
She convenes an advisory panel of medical experts, patient advocates and fellow caregivers who, like her, have "a knack for finding humor in the grimmest circumstances." Each has had something devastating happen to a loved one—a strong and vital husband felled by lung cancer, parents with Alzheimer's, a dangerously anorexic child.
For her husband, it is Crohn's disease, an incurable inflammation of the intestines that sends him to the emergency room "as often as most people frequent Starbucks. SBUX -0.27 % " Once, after surgery, a section of his intestines poke through an incision in his abdomen, freaking out even the home health care nurse.
Ms. Heller tackles tough subjects in chapters like "Sex? Romance? Is Anybody Getting Any?" and "When Loved Ones Start Taking on a Different Personality and You Start Wishing They'd Disappear." At one point when her husband is pumped full of steroids, bloated and manic, she fantasizes about killing him but realizes it is his Crohn's disease she wants to die.
She figures out when to sweet talk nurses and when to pull a Shirley MacLaine in "Terms of Endearment," and loudly demand care her husband should be receiving. She offers tips on exercise, diet and meditation to stay in shape and reduce stress for the long road ahead. For caregivers who roll up their sleeves and deal with it, there are unexpected moments of happiness, the discovery of inner strength to deal with any adversity, and an even closer bond with their loved ones, Ms. Heller finds.
She cracks jokes on that front, too, saying she doesn't obsess that her husband is having an affair when he says he is going to the doctor—because he is always at the doctor. But in serious mode, she finds the true silver lining: gaining enormous respect for her beloved, "watching him suffer all these years without ever dissolving into self-pity."

GREENSBORO, North Carolina (CNN) -- Two-time Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards took responsibility for "my sins," including an affair that resulted in a "precious" daughter, after his federal corruption case ended in an acquittal and mistrial Thursday.
Prosecutors had accused the onetime North Carolina senator of using nearly $1 million in illegal campaign contributions to keep his pregnant mistress under wraps as he ran for president in 2008. But after more than 50 hours of deliberations over nine days, jurors cleared him of one of six counts and deadlocked on the rest.
Emerging from the courthouse with his parents and daughter Cate at his side, he said that while he never believed he committed a crime, "I did an awful, awful lot that was wrong, and there is no one else responsible for my sins."
"None of the people who came to court and testified are responsible. Nobody working for the government is responsible," he said. "I am responsible, and if I want to find the person who should be held accountable for my sins, honestly, I don't have to go any further than the mirror."
He thanked his family for supporting him, adding that "I'm grateful for all my children" -- including Cate, who sat through the trial with him, 12-year-old Jack, 14-year-old Emma and the 4-year-old girl from his affair, whom he called "my precious Quinn, who I love more than any of you can ever imagine."
Edwards had denied that he was the girl's father for more than a year, saying the affair was over before his onetime mistress, Rielle Hunter, became pregnant.
Jurors emerged Thursday afternoon to announce they had reached a decision on the one count, but none of the others. U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles ordered them back into the jury room to continue deliberating, but declared a mistrial after they returned less than an hour later to announce the deadlock.
The result leaves prosecutors to decide whether to re-try Edwards. There was no immediate comment from the Justice Department, which prosecuted the case.
Edwards had been charged with four counts of accepting illegal campaign contributions, one count of falsifying documents and one of conspiring to receive and conceal the contributions. The charges could have carried a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine.
"This was a win for John Edwards, and there will be a lot of questions about why this case was brought," CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said after the announcement.
Edwards ran for president in 2004, when he ended up as the Democrats' nominee for vice president, and again in 2008. His attorneys argued he was guilty of being a bad husband to his wife, Elizabeth, who died in 2010, but had committed no crime.
They also argued that former Edwards aide Andrew Young, the government's star witness, used the contributions for his own gain and to pay for Hunter's medical expenses to hide the affair from Edwards' wife.
Neither Edwards, Hunter nor either of the two donors whose funds were in question testified during the trial. Fred Baron died in 2008, while Rachel "Bunny" Mellon -- who gave Edwards the bulk of the money -- is now 101. Jurors last week asked to review all the exhibits, indicating they were in it for the long haul.
Prosecutors said Edwards "knowingly and willingly" took the money from Baron and Mellon to keep Hunter out of the public eye, then concealed the donations by filing false and misleading campaign disclosure reports.
The affair occurred as Edwards was gearing up for a second White House bid in 2008, and he knew his political ambitions depended on keeping his affair with Hunter a secret, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Higdon told jurors in closing arguments.
"There is no question it would destroy the campaign of John Edwards," Higdon said.
Prosecutors argued that Edwards knowingly violated campaign finance laws by accepting the large contributions from Mellon and Baron that went to support Hunter. Edwards "knew these rules well," Higdon said, and should have known that the contributions violated campaign finance laws.
Edwards accepted $725,000 from Mellon and more than $200,000 from Baron, prosecutors said. The money was used to pay for Hunter's living and medical expenses, travel and other costs to keep her out of sight while Edwards made his White House run, prosecutors say.
Defense attorneys argued the donations could not be considered campaign contributions.

This is borderline physics, but I'll post here first as it relates to a mathematical concept.
I was wondering if anyone could clarify what the physical significance is of traces, whether of matrices or more general operators, and are there more general notions of the same kind?
For example, there is what seems (as far as I can follow it) quite a promising "precursor" quantum theory called Trace Dynamics, developed by Stephen Adler and summarized in http://www.worldscinet.com/ijmpd/19/1914/free-access/S0218271810018335.pdf
Also, I have seen traces used in many other physics contexts.
I guess the first thing, more on topic here, would be to explain what mathematical significance this apparently slightly artificial (and coordinate dependent?) notion has.
Feel free to waffle in generalities - The reply needn't be impeccably formal, as I am more interested in gaining intuition than results that could easily be looked up ;-)

I have been experimenting with Pizza and cakes. I can easily purchase mozzarella in India and have been using it for pizza, but it doesn't come close to the cheese Pizza Hut or Domino's use. Do they use some special cheese? I would like to experiment with cheese. I normally sprinkle oregano on cheese but I think there could be more to it.
Pizza hut uses skim milk mozzarella on it's pizza, at least in the USA. Not sure what they use in other countries, but I would imagine it is still the same. Skim milk mozzarella is extremely stretchy, but loses a little on the flavor end. More expensive pizzerias normally spring for the full fat mozzarella cheese.
Dominos uses a mix of cheese, made up of mozzarella, Pecarino, Parmesan, and asiago cheeses. I think in their most recent reboot they switched to part skim mozzarella but I am not one hundred percent on that.
One thing that's important to note when discussing American-style pizza cheese is that it's important that it be a very dry mozzarella.
There are two very different cheeses named "mozzarella": in Europe, the predominant variety is what, under US law, is called "fresh mozzarella", which comes in a ball, either shrink-wrapped or packed in water. In the US, it's allowed to be between 52% and 60% water. That type of mozzarella is not appropriate for use in making American style pizza, as its moisture is much too high. The result of making American-style pizza from grated fresh mozzarella can be a soggy mess, as the water leaks out of the cheese as it melts.
Note that very good pizza can be made from this type of cheese, it's just not appropriate for trying to make American-style pizza.
In the US, most mozzarella is "low-moisture" (45-52% water): dried, aged, and sold in blocks instead of balls, with a much longer shelf-life than "fresh" mozzarella.
I can't seem to a good reference again (all I find now are cheese snobs thumbing their nose at low-moisture mozzarella, or gourmands insisting that only full-fat cheese is acceptable), but I remember some years ago finding a site put up by a restauranteer discussing pizza cheese, that helped me solve the pizza woes I was having at the time.
The site noted that cheeses on the high end of "low-moisture" would result in exactly what I was getting to come out of the oven from my 50% moisture brand: an unappetizing translucent gray cheese, with a slight bitter flavor.
As I remember, they recommended a moisture level below 48%. I went and found a harder block of mozzarella than the brand I'd been using, and my pizza started coming out much better.
Domino's (in the UK) claims to use 100% mozzarella. It's full fat, since they do offer a reduced fat cheese option (Which I've never ordered, since I'm pretty sure that reducing the fat will compromise the taste)
Source: Domino's UK site, personal experience
The cheese that Domino's uses is a mixture of mozzarella, monterey Jack and white cheddar in equal proportions. I used to work there way back in the day when we were required to be trained on all of the aspects of making the pizzas even right down to what went into the ingredients.
All of the chains use a "pizza cheese", it is made by Leprino Foods. It is not "real" mozzarella and is loaded with modified food starch.
When you talk about full fat I think you are refering to whole milk. It is a preference, there is no right or wrong when it comes to choosing a cheese. The new cheese domino's uses has a Provolone flavoring in it. The best pizza shops in the USA use a cheese made by Grande Cheese Co.
I know for a fact that Dominos uses a blend of mozzerella cheese mixed with modified starch, flavors, and preservatives. That's not real cheese. Says so on their website. "Cheese made with %100 real Mozzerella," until you actually check the ingredients list on the "Nutrition" tab.
Go ahead and use a full fat cheese if you want. It won't taste anything like the big pizza chains. They all use a low cost "pizza cheese" that retains its chewiness after heating. Using a better quality cheese will not give you the desired results because it will release all the oils and become too greasy.

MINI Rocketman Concept 2012
During last year's Geneva Auto Show MINI unveiled one interesting concept dubbed the Mini Rocketman. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the concept managed to win the hearts of many fans and enthusiasts, the Rocketman has been dropped. However, if you count yourself amongst those who wanted to see the concept on sale fret not because there's still a chance for this to happen, as MINI revealed a revised version of the concept which will now make its debut at the 2012 Olympics in London.

Borderlands 2, after almost 72 hours. OP updated.
Updated to 61 and will soon pop a 62nd and 63rd with Alien Hominid and Borderlands 2.
69 is looking like a possibility before the year is out.
I could probably play more games too if I stopped playing multiplayer games
Added 14 more games, not sure if I should include the terrible PETA flash games I suffered through on-stream as a joke in the wake of the Pokemon Black & Blue ridiculousness.

Edit: I meant 4 games, forgot about Super Hang-On!
Same for me, so I clocked CSI: Deadly Intent, Borderlands 2 PT1 and Alien Hominid HD.
Next up will be ToeJam & Earl.
So I"m playing this IOS game that technically does not have a definitive ending and will most likely come out with more levels in future updates. However I have beaten all the levels that is currently there. Does that count for completed? Or is IOS games sort of not allowed?
It's Angry Birds isn't it?

DUE WEST, S.C. – The Anderson University softball team wrapped up its nonconference slate by erupting for 15 runs on 21 hits, including four home runs, as the Trojans swept archrival Erskine, 4-0 and 11-2, Thursday afternoon at the Erskine College Softball Complex.
Combining the offensive output with exceptional pitching efforts in the circle, Anderson (29-9) defeated Erskine (11-17) for the fifth consecutive time. The Trojans, who were playing their sixth game in five days, won their fifth straight decision and have claimed wins in eight of their last 10 outings, while Erskine saw its win streak halted at two.
Game #1
Anderson 4, Erskine 0
Sophomore Molly Child momentarily tied senior Abby Child for the team lead in home runs, with her 10th of the season – a two-out, two-run shot in the seventh inning. She also added a fourth-inning single, while junior Jessica Neidigh was 2-for-4 in the opener, with a double and a single. Junior outfielder Rebecca Martin recorded the game-winning hit – her career-best seventh home run of the season in the fifth inning. Junior third baseman Bri Cason also singled and scored in the fifth inning.
Freshman hurler Augie Pena (6-1) tossed the two-hit shutout for her second complete game of the season. The right-hander, who entered the game ranked second in the South Atlantic Conference in strikeouts per contest, struck out six of the first seven batters she faced, and finished with a season-high 12 punchouts on the afternoon.
Neither team managed to get a runner in scoring position until the fourth inning, with Molly Child recording a leadoff single for AU's first hit of the day. Fleet senior Ashlyn Hicks garnered a one-out single in the bottom of the frame and moved to second on a wild pitch, but Pena escaped with no damage by striking out the next two batters.
Martin led off the fifth inning with her seventh home run of the season to give the Trojans the lead and two batters later Cason reached on a single. Senior Charlotte Sieber moved Cason into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt and she scored on Neidigh's two-out double, boosting the Trojan lead to 2-0.
Molly Child's 10th homer of the season, with Neidigh on first in the top of the seventh inning, gave Anderson an additional pair of insurance runs and the Trojan defense set the Flying Fleet down in order in the bottom of the inning for the victory.
Game #2
Anderson 11, Erskine 2 (6 innings)
Abby Child briefly regained the team lead in home runs with her 11th of the campaign – a solo blast to lead off the decisive third inning. The shortstop added a run-scoring single in the first inning and walked once. Molly Child ended the scoring in the third inning with a two-out grand slam – her 11th round-tripper of the season.
Freshman right-fielder Courtney Czentnar was 3-for-4 in the nightcap, with three singles in four trips to the plate. Martin drove in three runs with a double and a single, while senior Danielle Swygert added a double and a single and scored twice. Senior catcher Laura Jansky was 1-for-3 in the nightcap, with a two-run double.
Starting pitcher Katelynn Howser, who improved to 10-4 on the season, and freshman right-hander Lauren Rudesheim combined to limit the Flying Fleet to just five hits over six innings. Howser struck out three and walked one in three innings of work, while Rudesheim issued one free pass.
Anderson quickly plated two runs in the top of the first inning to take a lead it would not relinquish. The Flying Fleet countered with a solo run in the bottom of the frame to climb within a run, but would get no closer.
The Trojans sent 10 batters to the plate in the top of the third innings and exploded for seven runs in the frame. Abby Child led off the inning with a solo homer and Molly Child capped the scoring with the Trojans' second grand slam in four games.
Erskine's Ericka McCarson recorded a one-out home run in the bottom of the inning to make the score 9-2, while AU added a pair of runs in the top of the sixth inning to take an 11-2 lead. The Flying Fleet were unable to push a run across in the bottom of the inning, with Anderson claiming the run-rule decision.
With the win in the opener, Anderson clinched possession of the coveted Beville Cup for the second straight year, fourth time in five years and sixth time in the last eight years. Originally known as the Anderson/Erskine Cup, it is a competition between Erskine and Anderson's athletics programs that was established in the fall of 2003 and is sponsored by ARAMARK in order to promote and enhance the rivalry between the Trojans and Flying Fleet, whose campuses are separated only by 20 miles.
The winner of the Beville Cup each year has the award presented each spring to its student-athletes and coaches by the losing athletics director, traditionally at their postseason banquet/awards night.
The Trojans currently hold an 8.0-2.5 advantage for the 2013-14 seasons, with two points from men's and women's tennis to be determined next week in Due West. There are also 2.5 academic points that have yet to be determined.
Anderson returns home to host South Atlantic Conference-opponent Catawba on Saturday. First-pitch versus the Indians at Smethers Field is set for 2 p.m.
