SAN ANTONIO (April 2, 2013) – Florida Panthers Executive VP/General Manager Dale Tallon announced today that the club has recalled forward Greg Rallo from the San Antonio Rampage (AHL). In conjunction, the Rampage have recalled forward Anthony Luciani and goaltender Brian Foster from the Cincinnati Cyclones, the club's ECHL affiliate.
Rallo, 31, earns his second recall of the year to the Florida Panthers. The Gurnee, Ill., native played in three games for the Panthers (March 24-28), logging 22:16 of ice time in that span. The 6-foot, 195-pound forward leads the Rampage in goals (22) and is third on the club in points (38) in 63 games for the Silver and Black. Rallo made his NHL debut with the Panthers on Dec. 18, 2011.
Luciani, 22, has tallied four goals and 12 assists in 29 games for the Cyclones this season. The 5-foot-8, 190-pound forward played two games with the Rampage last season and fell one point shy of tallying 50 points for the Cyclones last season in 54 games (26 goals, 23 assists). Luciani made his professional debut during the 2010-11 season for the Rochester Americans and played in three games, tallying two goals and one assist.
Foster, 26, made his first start of the season for the Rampage in Friday's 4-1 win over Grand Rapids and stopped a career-high 39 of 40 shots en route to being named First Star of the Game. Foster surrendered three goals in Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Charlotte in his second start of the year for the Rampage. He has appeared in 32 games for the Cyclones this season and owns a 19-7-4 record. The 6-foot-2, 186-pound goaltender also sports a 0.907 save percentage and a 2.67 goals-against average for Cincinnati. Foster was drafted by the Panthers in the fifth round (161 overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
The Rampage will face the Chicago Wolves at 7 p.m. tonight (Tuesday) on an All-You-Can-Eat Game at AT&T Center. Tickets for all remaining Rampage home games start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

I use Anki for studying. I add 20 new facts each day. Over the past few months, I have noticed that each day, I have slightly more words to review than the previous day. Over time, this is adding up, and it takes several hours to finish all of the reviews.
- Is it normal for the number of daily reviews to steadily increase?
- Will the number of daily reviews eventually reach balance?

5 Insane Scientific Charts You Won't Believe Actually Exist
Everything needs to measured: Even things you don't want to touch, smell, look at, think about or even exist on the same physical plane as. Because sometimes, you just have to know what precise category of vomit you'd be covered in if you ate too much Subway, or got drunk and played on the merry-go-rounds (Scattershot Olive, is the answer).
Therefore, in some office somewhere, a person is looking at a chart displaying...
#5. The Bristol Stool Scale
What Does it Measure?
It ain't bar chairs. The average person may not be too discerning about their poop, but healthcare professionals, much to their chagrin, need to know a lot about the human body's various excretions. Thus the Bristol Stool Scale was created. You've heard of taking a number two, but it turns out you can actually take a number one through seven.
Thanks for ruining another of life's little pleasures, Science.
And now that you've seen that graphic, you can handily describe all of your poops--from rabbit to flash food--to your horrified, regretful conversational partners. The chart was designed by the University of Bristol and the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, and the only thing that the chart makes clearer is that there is very little to do in Scandinavia and we don't ever want to go to Bristol.
There's a reason that water is brown.
It's like they're actively trying to be gross. Seriously, read the description for number three again. "Like a sausage, but with cracks." Just really savor those words put together in that order.
Dang. We really liked sausage, too.
#4. Kinsey Scale
What Does it Measure?
The Kinsey Scale measures exactly how gay or straight you are. You may think this seems a bit counter-intuitive at first: either you do dudes or you do not do dudes (Dr. Seuss would be proud). Ah, but if you believe that, you're precisely the type of person who needs the scale.
After all, a quick look at Craigslist will turn up half a dozen ads reading something along the lines of "come over and jerk off on my pecs, but no gay stuff." Obviously, it's not quite so straight-forward.
In fact, "straight" is less than 15 percent of the story.
The scale goes from zero (so heterosexual you can impregnate women over the phone) to six (The Literal Gay Lord, savage emperor of the Gays). A bisexual who is equally attracted to either sex is known as a three, or more colloquially as a "drunk college girl."
We've got no clue where to put Devine.
Alfred Kinsey wasn't winging it when he developed his scale either. It might look like he just slapped numbers on some bathroom signs and called it a day, he did quite a bit of, ahem, grunt work. Kinsey developed his scale not only through interviews, but also observation and active participation in sexual activities, both hetero and homosexual. He even went so far as to film sexual acts between co-workers in his attic.
...for science. Totally for science. Yes. And now science wants you to dress up like a school teacher and show Dr. Kinsey how bad he's been.
#3. Sperm Motility Grade
What Does it Measure?
In courting a new potential mate, there comes a point at every date where you simply have nothing more to talk about. If you're a man, rather than sitting there in uncomfortable silence, now you can impress her with your in-depth knowledge of the Sperm Motility Grade scale!
It not only rates how effective your littlest troops are, but describes in specific detail exactly how they're going to storm her beaches. And if you're a woman, try quizzing him on his semen! Trust us: Asking a dude how well his littlest gentlemen get to work is a sure fire turn on.
"...And they each have a diamond-tipped drilling apparatus and NOS afterburners."
It's fairly straight forward: At the top of the class you have the eye-on-the-prize straight-line swimmers, somewhere in the middle are the drunk drivers, while at the bottom you have one slacker, a midget and a Sharktopus.
But perhaps even more strangely, according to the Sperm Motility Grade scale, the guys on Grade 2 may actually move backwards. It's one thing to not make the commute--we understand and sympathize with laziness--but when your sperm are actively fleeing the vagina, perhaps it's time for drastic measures. There's no shame in bringing your own funnel, gentlemen.
Or your own turkey baster.

Let $X$ be a connected smooth algebraic variety (say over $\mathbb{C}$) and let $L$ be a local system on an open subvariety. Suppose that we know $H^*(X)$. How can we compute $Ext^i(IC(L),IC(L))$ for $i\ge 1$ ? Is there a general method or only ad-hoc arguments specific to examples?
A source of examples: let $p:X'\to X$ be a small map. Then the sheaf $\mathcal{F} = Rp_*\mathbb{C}_{X'}$ is an IC sheaf of the above form. (and here suppose we also know $H^*(X')$). I would be interested to know if for this class of examples one can say something precise about the dimensions of the Ext groups.
One could also replace cohomology with equivariant cohomology, or more generaly consider the question for algebraic stacks.
Any references where this is computed in specific examples would be also very useful.

I'm not too good about recommending one brand over another, since everyone's tastes are different but noise-cancelling headphones are a good investment. See this dicussion....
It is not about the head-phones - it is about what they are playing.
Drummer here. At my day job, I have some very loud coworkers in the next cube over. I brought in my Vic Forth Isolation Headphones, which I have multiple pairs at home. They are effective at blocking out a lot of sound on their own. Pump in some light music or SimplyNoise.com and it's hard to hear anything else. It's great for when I'm writing code or working on board layouts.
One caveat is that they compress my ears a bit. This means when I wear my glasses, I need to take a break every 30 minutes or so to take the pressure off my ears. When I'm wearing contacts I'm in good shape though.
I'm sure there are a lot of drummer-like headphones out there that would do similar, but I really like mine.
I have a pair of high end Bose, and I have to say, the effect is quite the opposite of what I expected. Active noise canceling headphones are great to remove background noise (airplane jets, train engine hum, nearby road noise). However, when you're in a typical office environment and you remove the background noise, the perceived result is much more heightened conversation noise. Because of that, my best strategy is alternating earplugs (Howard Leight's ones do great) with medium-level music from Pandora. That, or working from home!
I have never tried them, but These headphones are way better at blocking noise then active noise canceling headphones. They actually plug your ear canal.
The cheapest and easiest solution is to move somewhere quieter. But if you really want to use head phones then try this. Use any small headphones with earmuffs covering them.
Here's what I use. Headphones: Sony MDR-Q68LW Clip-on Style Headphone with Retractable Cord http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-Q68LW-Clip--Headphone-Retractable/dp/B000PCF7A6/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1335821791&sr=8-25
Earmuffs: Peltor H9A Optime 98 Over-the-Head Earmuffs http://www.amazon.com/Peltor-H9A-Optime-Over--Earmuffs/dp/B0017YLTAI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335821614&sr=8-2
I tried many different types of noise cancelling headphones. They are nice to have, but even the highest-end noise-cancelling headphones do not cancel out that much noise actually. You know what's best? The cheap, yellow, "classic" earplugs by 3M. Cost less than 0.50$ for a pair. I am not aware of anything that cancels out as much as these.
Goldring NS1500 seems to be the best value for money as far as noise cancellation goes. Some of the best battery life for noise cancellation too.
If you want to go premium, Bose is one of the pioneers of the field and will give you the best quality.
I just picked up a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds with multiple sizes of silicone ear tips. They work much better than I expected at blocking noise from around me. Add some music and I am quite well insulated from conversation noise around me.

Kentucky State Police continue to investigate a Sunday night shooting in Grayson County. State Police in Elizabethtown responded to the shooting that left one person dead and another injured. Police say 28-year-old Rodney Harvey used a knife to force his fiancee into the Woodrum residence.
When he kicked in the door, he found a gun laying out and forced the girlfriend and Mr. and Mrs. Woodrum to sit on the couch at gunpoint. When Harvey pointed the gun at Sandra Woodrum, she tried to grab it, and a struggle ensued. K.S.P. officials say the gun went off, striking Mrs. Woodrum in the face. They say Mr. Woodrum then wrestled the gun away from Harvey, fatally wounding Harvey.
Mrs. Woodrum was stat-flighted to University Hospital in Louisvlle, where she is in "serious" condition. Kentucky State Police in Elizabethtown say no charges against Mr. Woodrum are filed at this time. They also say that there had been disagreements between Harvey and the Woodrum's in the past.

Would you consider this double dipping?
Double dipping is no laughing matter. I've been to holiday parties that were only as strong as their appetizer selections, thus a single double dipping incident can ruin the festivities for all. I'm not a germ-a-phobe by any means, but if I see my Uncle Hank drop his entire fist into the onion dip, I'm done.
I have perfected a dip delivery method that is heavily debated in my family. My wife and kids have carefully weighed my approach and see no issues, but I still get "looks" from family and friends.
Say it's a veggy dip of some sort and say carrots are one of the items available for dipping. What I will do is dip and bite, but then I will flip the item around and re-dip with the other end. I ensure the other end has neither touched my hand or my mouth thus ensuring the integrity of a non-double dip. The reason I do it is because so little dip is used out of fear of double dipping that the ratio of dip to dippers is outrageous and wasteful.
So I ask, is this double dipping?
21 Answers answer
Please post a list of the holiday parties you are attending.
Thanks...from all of us.
It's not technically double dipping but it's not something I would do in company other than my close family.
Generally, imo, once something has been in your mouth it shouldn't make contact with any shared dip, sauce, etc. While your idea makes sense practically, it's hard for the naked eye of someone you're with to tell whether the "bitten" side is making contact with the dip. Besides, it's hard for you as the "biter" to know exactly where your mouth made contact with the item in question. And some people will just associate it with double dipping and find it off-putting.
Unless it's something very long like a pretzel rod, I wouldn't do it.
I would do it... when I can get away with it, but it does get odd looks, so I don't generally. Unless I want all of the dip to myself, then I go ahead and double dip in the open and it's all mine!
(ok, that last sentence was a joke)
For the life of me, I can not figure out how you can do that without touching both ends of the carrot.
When I think dipping carrots, I think baby carrots, about 2" long.
You pick up with end A, and dip end B. Eat end B.
Flip it around and dip end A. But you already touched that end?
How do you do it?!?
My method: The original dip should contain enough dip to sufficiently supply the object you are dipping. As I am eating it, I flip the dipped side to the bottom, and spread the dip to the entire object with my tongue as it enters my mouth, consuming the entire object in one bite, then chew. If said object is too big to be eaten in one bite, put some dip on a plate with some items and walk away.
That's something I might do in my own home, with just my immediate family, but otherwise I think it would earn you looks, as others have said above.
In a pinch, you could use the break-and-dip method--break the carrot stick in half and dip the broken end, but I find that generally parties have little plates available, so you can put some dip on your plate, then use whatever method you prefer, including licking the dip directly off the plate. Okay, maybe not that.
Pro tip: Bring a spoon and plop some dip on your own plate. That dollop of dip is now yours to double or even triple dip as you please.
@craigster38: Agreed. It can't work, at least not with something so small.
My answer is to just break things in half.
And does it really matter if it "counts" as double dipping if others think it is? It's about perception if you don't want to be perceived as a double dipper, stop trying to find loopholes in the rules.
Grab the thing in the middle and do both dips up-front. If you're lucky, you can maneuver both bites without getting dip all over your fingers. You get your double dip, and nobody's paranoid.
I'm more of a "reach around" kinda guy
I agree with the above posters - you may be technically clear of the double, but it doesn't look right.
Now, I don't get the stressing on double dipping? Picture this, someone picks up a chip/carrot/etc, dips, then brings the food to their mouth. The odds of someone doing this multiple times without touching their finger(s) to their mouth are low. Then, they put those mouth-moistened fingers back in the chips/carrots/etc to pick up the next morsel. Thus contaminating everything. But Heaven help them if they double dip.
Just get a small plate or bowl, put in some dip and double dip until your heart's content.
Not double dipping. I think the whole double dipping phobia is overblown, anyway. Unless you are vigorously swirling whatever you're "double dipping" (let's say a carrot) around in the dip, there is really no chance that the tiny amount of saliva on the carrot is going to get in the dip. It just isn't going to happen. The dip that directly contacts the carrot surface is going to stick to the carrot and encase whatever is on the carrot. No harm done. I guess if you drooled all over the carrot, my theory wouldn't hold up. But no one does that! Sorry, but "double dipping" does not bother me. Of course, I would never do it in public or with anyone other than family or close friends, but it's overblown. Everyone relax.
Yep, it sure is. Your nasty fingers and their nasty germs are now being dunked into the communal bowl of dip. Blech.
And everyone who says they break the carrot or whatever in half: you're doing the same thing. Germy fingers make for germy carrot halves, which are then poked into the bowl of dip. No.
One food item, one dip. Period.
Still counts as double dipping in my eyes. I love my ranch as much as the next guy, but I would hold off on this method at parties.
This thread is filled with germophobes, and possibly hypochondriacs.
Much ado about nothing:
@shinespark: My mouse cursor touched your post, I have to go wash it now.
Do not do that Double Dip thing.
You are touching the item, I do not care how careful you are,
you breathe on the item,
there is potential splash from the bite.
After a few drinks (assuming you drink at parties), how careful are you?
Seems like your group, who witnessed the action, thinks it is double dipping, technically the term double dipping is wrong, perhaps you created a new taboo, call it what you want. If you have a catchy last name or nickname continue to do it and name it. (for example if your name was Keith Dudemister, from scurbs, you could call it the Dudemister dip) Then someday you will hear, "o'crap there is a Dudemister dipper in the house" and there will be plenty of dip left over after the party.
germophobes, Yes!
hypochondriacs, Never. I missed 1 day of work for sickness in +10 years.
Wow after typing maybe being a germophobes is not bad.
@rh48: I seen that ep. You could argue some hands are dirtier, then Jamie and Adams.
@jumbowoot: All told?
@caffeine_dude: Ew, anyone splashing whilst biting is not invited to any party of mine.

The edges of both the MacBook Pro (aluminum case) and the MacBook (polycarbonate) are exceedingly sharp. Depending on my typing position, they dig in my wrists, an unpleasant and painful experience. Can you suggest a solution?
Sanding is one option. Did you perhaps sand-off the edges by using fine-sanding paper made for wood? Could you post an image of the result? It's understood it will not be as pretty afterwards, but being plain ugly is not an option either.
Guards are another idea. People sometime use guards on furniture with sharp features to save their kids when bumping into them. Can you think of a similar product (off-the-shelf or homemade) for the edges of a MacBook?

What will be the dimension of a vector space $ V =\{ a_{ij}\in \mathbb{C_{n\times n}} : a_{ij}=-a_{ji} \}$ over field $\mathbb{R}$ and over field $\mathbb{C}$?
What have you tried so far? The solution is pretty straight forward. You try to compose a basis consisting of matrices which are as simple as possible. Here "as simple as possible" usually means very few entries with values $\pm 1$ and zeros everywhere else.
What happens when you set $a_{ij}=1$ for $i\neq j$? You will also have $a_{ji}=-1$. What happens on the diagonal? Right, since $a_{ii}=-a_{ii}$ these entries must be zero. So a good candiadate for a basis (over $\mathbb C$) are those matrices with the property $a_{ij}=-a_{ji}=1$ for some $i<j$ and zeros everywhere else. Are they linear independent? Do they span your space?
If you want a basis over $\mathbb R$, you could take the same matrices as above and also those which have $\pm i$ in the places where $\pm 1$ used to be.
The dimension should be the number of entries below the diagonal (times 2 for $\mathbb R$).
Edit: A totally different approach is to consider the problem as follows (I'll treat the case that the field is $\mathbb C$): You have $n^2$ entries in a given matrix. Or in other words $n^2$ independent variables. Now your constraints can be viewed as linear equations in these variables. How many linear independent equations do we have: one for each pair $i<j$, which gives you $\binom n2$ equations and one for each $i=i$. In total we have $n^2$ variables with $\binom n2+n$ independent linear equations. Leaving you with $n^2-(\binom n2+n)$ degrees of freedom. The two results should obviously coincide.
Without restrictions, the dimension of $V$ over $\mathbb{R}$ is $2n^2$. The 2 appears because the field of scalars is $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{C}$ as a two dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{R}$. The $n^2$ can be explained thinking on the elements of $V$ as complex matrices. The number of entries of a $n\times n$ matrix is $n^2$.
Your condition says that, thinking in terms of matrices, the diagonal elements are all zero, and knowing all the elements above or below the diagonal is sufficient to know all the elements of the matrix.
Now the tricky argument is the following: note that in the first row there are zero independent elements, in the second one, and in the nth $n-1$. So the number of independent elements, and therefore the dimension of the space is
$$ \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} i= \frac{n(n-1)}{2}$$

text: Here is something cute and sweet that some of you may enjoy, but may also find childish. As you know I am always filling requests. Therefore I had to made this tutorial on "how to draw a monkey face", step by step. I have drawn a bunch of monkeys in my day and if you go browsing through the animals section you will see a bunch of primates to choose from when you want to draw a monkey. One of my favorite monkey tutorials is the cartoon version and I think it's mainly because it looks so darn awesome. The monkey face that you will be drawing is going to be extremely fun and easy to tackle. There is no way that anyone is going to mess up on this tutorial, but if you do, just dust yourself off and try again. The more you draw, the better of an artist you become even if you are just at a novice level. Well, I guess that's it, I mean how much more can I talk about a monkeys face when I have said all I can possibly say about monkeys in previous lessons. All I can do now is show you how to draw a monkey face using an easy step by step tutorial that will break down the basics on making one of these apes look adorable. See ya later people, I might be back with one more submission, so it is at your own risk if you want to stay on to see what else I have in store.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

During the past decade, 30 million to 40 million Brazilian citizens have escaped poverty and are integrating into the middle class, Temer said in his talk, which was co-sponsored by the Columbia Latin American Business Law Association. Temer was introduced by Dean David M. Schizer, and Ambassador Luiz Felipe Seixas Corrêa, Brazil's consul general in New York, was among the senior Brazilian diplomats in attendance at the gathering.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention still continues to keep an eye on five new suspected cases of Monkeypox in Western Kentucky. The five were put under isolation after one other person was suspected to have Kentucky's first case of the smallpox-like disease. Three of the individuals began experiencing symptoms after exposure to prairie dogs at a Paducah pet store.
Currently the CDC is investigating over 80 suspected cases nationwide. Officials say there's no evidence that the general public is at risk for Monkeypox.
In an attempt to prevent the spread of Monkeypox, Kentucky's governor issues an executive order. Governor Patton has banned the importation of rabbits, primates and rodents from other states. Mice, rats, gerbils, guinea pigs, even chinchillas are a few of the creatures affected by the ban. However, it doesn't appear the action will be detremental to supplies at area pet stores. Most South-Central Kentucky pet stores say they purchase such animals from Kentucky residents and vendors.
PETCO in Bowling Green says they receive some of their animals from a supplier in Georgia. The store was anticipating a shipment on Thursday, but no word on the status of the order. PETCO District Manager Debbie Lund says the news of the Monkeypox virus hasn't deminished business. Airing on the side of caution, PETCO which operates stores nationwide, has asked petowners not to bring those smaller mammals inside the store. Meanwhile dogs, cats and reptiles are still allowed to accompany their owner.

Funniest FMLs - 03-27-2012, 08:03 PM
Unfortunately, I can't really post R-rated ones, but I will post the funny wholesome (or maybe not so wholesome!) ones from FML: Your everyday life stories !:
Today, I texted my college boyfriend to tell him how terrible I felt about cheating. He replied saying he was so relieved because he had been cheating on me with a girl in his dorm. I was talking about my math exam. FML
Today, while at the Golden Gate Bridge, I spotted a large group of Asians trying to take a picture. Trying to be a diplomat, I slowly say "You... want me... take picture?" while using hand motions. The man looks at me and says "No thanks jerk, I got it," in plain English. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy for the first time. We went to Starbucks and got coffee. We talked for awhile, and we were joking and having a good time. Suddenly, he put his hand on my stomach and said, "soon, this will be plump with my seed." FML
Today, I was taking a nap. Apparently, my two year old daughter decided to crawl on top of the covers on my bed because she was scared since there was a thunder storm. I thought she was one of our cats so I kicked her off. She hit the wall. FML
Today, my six year old told me I have a big nose. When I told her that she hurt my feelings, she laughed and said "Don't be silly mummy, ugly people don't have feelings." FML
Today, my friend had to take my cat who has a tumor to be put down when I wasn't home since I couldn't bare to take him myself. I have two cats. He took the wrong one. FML
Today, my boss fired me via text message. I don't have a text messaging plan. I paid $0.25 to get fired. FML
Today, I had to take a dump. While looking for a book to read, I sneezed. The force of the sneeze caused me to crap my pants. The glob of dung then ran down my leg before falling out of my shorts onto my carpet, all in less than 5 seconds. Nothing in my life has prepared me for this. FML
Today, I told my morbidly obese teacher that he had mustard on his chin. He tried to wipe it off and I said without thinking "No, your other chin." FML
Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML

There are a lot of results in textbooks concerned with canonical forms of matrices under certain complex groups of transformations, e.g. GL(n|C), O(n|C),... Could anybody give me references where the canonical forms of real matrices under the action of SO(p,q|R) were found. Of most interest is the canonical form of antisymmetric matrices, i.e. that of the adjoint representation. Other related results, e.g. on canonical forms under SU(p,q), SP(p,q) are also appreciated. Thanks!
In Chapter 2 of the PhD thesis of Charles Boubel (in French, though), you can find the normal forms of a symmetric or antisymmetric bilinear form under the automorphism group of a nondegenerate bilinear form, again either symmetric or skewsymmetric. In particular you can find there the canonical forms for elements of the Lie algebra of SO(p,q|R) under the adjoint action.
A summary of this work can be found (in German, though) in the Diplom thesis of Thomas Neukirchner Normalform eines schief- oder selbstadjungierten Endomorphismus auf einem pseudo-euklidischen oder symplektischen Vektorraum über R oder C — eine Arbeit von Charles Boubel, which is a Humboldt University preprint, and also for some special signatures in a paper of Felipe Leitner's Imaginary Killing spinors in lorentzian geometry (math.DG/0302024) and also in a paper of mine and Joan Simón's Supersymmetric Kaluza-Klein reductions of AdS backgrounds (hep-th/0401206). As in Leitner's paper, we were mostly concerned with the case q=2, though.
I hope this helps. I have PDFs of Boubel's thesis, which I can make available if you want.
Another reference is: D. Djokovic, J. Patera, P. Winternitz, H. Zassenhaus, Normal forms of elements of classical real and complex Lie and Jordan algebras, J. Math. Phys. 24 (1983), N6, 1363-1374 http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.525868 .

I have heard that in the Orthodox world rabbis that teach are referred to as "Rabbi" even though they might not have semicha. Even several roshei yeshivah might not have semicha. can this be true?
Sign up

It depends what you mean by semicha -- there is a basic level of "being a rabbi" that is summarized here:
There is a new form of semicha which is circulating today, known as the "Rav Umanhig" semicha. This is essentially a semicha which does not necessarily vouch for the recipient's knowledge or competency in halacha, but rather, testifies that the recipient is worthy to be called "rabbi" and serve in a position of leadership. In some yeshivot there is a formal curriculum which must be completed before receiving this semicha, usually extensive sections of the Orach Chaim section of Shulchan Aruch. Other rabbis and yeshivot simply issue this semicha to students who are well rounded and have an impressive grasp of general Jewish scholarship and are therefore worthy of the title "rabbi". Indeed, it is important to recall that "rabbi" essentially means "teacher", not necessarily "halachic authority".
It is somewhat unclear how or why this semicha evolved. According to one theory, the Rav Umanhig semicha may have been first created by the Ner Yisrael yeshiva in Baltimore in order to allow yeshiva students to evade the draft during the Korean and Vietnam Wars under the "clergy" clause. After the draft was over, the Rav Umanhig semicha continued for those wishing to enter Jewish communal work, though not necessarily as pulpit rabbis. In this way those in teaching and similar positions could legitimately be addressed as "rabbi" without having to go through the intensity of formal semicha studies and learning the Yoreh Deah material.
So one could be, according to this, called "rabbi" simply as a function of their holding a particular teaching role but without the testing and approbation of forml semicha.**
It is important to understand that the Semicha of today is not "Traditional Semicha" which was only given in an unbroken chain from Moshe Rabbeinu down, from each teacher to their (worthy) students. That Semicha was lost long ago. (Although it is possible to bring back according to the Rambam, and was attempted by Rav Yaakov Beirav in 1538).
What, then, is the Semicha of today?
The Rema (Y.D. 242:14) writes that the Semicha of today is there for two purposes:
Essentially, the only reason for most people to have Semicha today is for people to trust him. There is no Halachic requirement for someone to have Semicha in order to rule on a question to which he knows the answer.
Rabbi Gedalia Anemer,zt'l, used to bristle when a day school principal would have all male Jewish subject teachers referred to as "rabbi" whether or not they had earned the credential. There have been impressive yeshiva instructrs at institutions such as Ner Israel who (20 years ago) might just be "mister" so and so. Those days are disappearing, though and more and more Talmud instructrs without smicha are now called "rabbi" even though his working knowledge of the Shulchan Aruch may be limited.

Lensatic Compasses seem to be priced from $5 to $100 USD. What features should I look for when buying one?
Lensatic Compasses are often used by the military, because the are:
The things that I would look for in a lensatic compass are:
The radioactive tritium particles are low energy beta particles and are not harful for external use, (they cannot pass through clothing or skin). As long as you don't swallow them you are fine.
The reason for the illumination is so that the compasses can be used without any external light source. The military, especially special forces, love this. It allows for "dark" navigation.
Other information
All radioactive isotopes have a half life. And Tritium's is 12 years, so in 12 years your compass will be half as bright as it is the day you bought it, then 12 years later, another half life. And so on.

Health & Pregnancy
Babies Listen and Learn While in the Womb
Jan. 3, 2013 -- Sometimes she just tells him about her day. Other times, Ruthie W. rubs her pregnant belly and tells her future son that she can't wait to meet him (which should be any day now).
And a new study shows that he not only hears his mom, but may understand her and is already learning language from her.
"I talk to him all the time, even when I am in stores shopping for a layette and other things we will need once he is born," says the New York City-based cosmetic executive. "People probably think I am crazy if they overhear me!"
Far from it.
In fact, she is giving her son a foundation for language development.
The new research suggests that babies began to absorb language when they are inside the womb during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy -- which is earlier than previously held. Newborns can actually tell the difference between their mother's native tongue and foreign languages just hours after they are born.
"The main message for new moms is that their babies are listening and learning and remembering during the last stages of pregnancy. Their brains do not wait for birth to start absorbing information," says study author Patricia K. Kuhl, PhD. She is the Bezos Family Foundation endowed chair in early childhood learning and a professor of speech and hearing sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle.
How can researchers tell?
Kuhl and colleagues used a high-tech pacifier that was connected to a computer that measured infants' reactions to sounds. The study included 80 infants who were, on average, about 30 hours old and from Tacoma, Wash., and Stockholm, Sweden. They listened to vowel sounds in their native language and a foreign tongue while sucking on the pacifier.
Vowels are the loudest units in speech. The number of times they suck on the pacifier indicates which vowel sounds attracted their attention. Babies sucked longer for foreign languages than their native tongue in both countries, the study showed.
Building Blocks of Language
"The mother's voice can be heard because it is amplified by her body," Kuhl says.

As far as my bird watching experience goes, the most memorable experience I've had is being up close and personal with a falcon while visiting the United States Air Force Academy. Then, while aiding in a story on birding weekends in Great Bend for KANSAS! magazine, I was intrigued to learn what prime real estate Kansas has for witnessing various migratory birds, but none more special then the bald eagle.

Clayton M. Christensen: The New Church of Finance: Deeply held belief systems and complex codes must be changed
Corporate balance sheets and profits are in the best shape they have been in over half a century. So why do jobs remain scarce?
The income of the top 1 percent of Americans has grown significantly, and they garner about 28 percent of total income. But total personal income has been flat for about 30 years. Why do the rich get richer while the rest tread water?
In seeking answers to these questions, we need to understand the relationship between innovations and how the decision of companies to invest in jobs is shaped by zealously maintained theories of finance.
Three types of innovation
There are three types of innovations that affect jobs and capital: empowering innovations, sustaining innovations and efficiency innovations.
Empowering innovations transform something that is complicated and expensive into something that is so much more simple and affordable that a much larger population can enjoy it. The Model T did that, making an automobile affordable and accessible. Apple and IBM computers made it so all of us could have a computer. Google made it possible for almost anyone to advertise at low costs.
It turns out that almost all net growth in jobs in America has been created by companies that were empowering — companies that made complicated things affordable and accessible so that more people could own them and use them. When more people are buying them, more people have to be hired to make them and distribute them and to service them. Empowering innovations make up the core engine of economic growth.
Sustaining innovations, on the other hand, account for most of the innovation activity in an economy. They have a net zero impact on employment. A sustaining innovation makes better products that you can sell for better profits to your best customers. When Toyota sells an innovative new car like the Prius, they don't sell a Camry. These innovations are important for the economy because they sustain the economic trajectory, but they do not create significant new growth.
Efficiency innovations arise in industries that already exist. They provide existing goods and services at much lower costs. They are not empowering. Efficiency innovators become the low cost providers within an existing framework. So Wal-Mart can come into town and announce that they have hired a lot of people, but actually they put those working at less efficient retail operations out of work. Efficiency innovations have a negative effect on employment. But the resulting efficiency gains allow financial capital to be invested elsewhere.
In a healthy economy empowering, sustaining and efficiency innovations operate in balance. A healthy economy creates and sustains more jobs before squeezing out inefficiencies.
Over the past 20 years, however, there has been far less money flowing into empowering innovations and much more capital flowing into efficiency innovations and sustaining innovations. As a result, we are not creating new jobs at a rate that will sustain our economy.
True believers
Why is financial capital flowing disproportionately to innovations that do not produce jobs? I think the roots lie in a powerful new belief system.
About 40 years ago some people established what I describe as a new church. I call it the New Church of Finance.
The members of this church are finance professors at business schools, a lot of economists and the partners in hedge funds and private equity funds. I call it a church because it has many of the characteristics of a well-catechized belief system. For those committed true believers within this "church" it is inconceivable that the catechism isn't true. People on the outside looking through the window, however, might be justifiably skeptical.

I will consider Sobolev spaces with $p=2$, only, so that they are Hilbert spaces. Hence the Sobolev inner product identifies each Sobolev space with its dual. In other words, I have an isomorphism $W_m\to (W_m)^\ast$ given by $x\mapsto \langle x,\cdot\rangle_m$
Now, if $\sigma>0$, then I have an embedding $W_{m+\sigma}\hookrightarrow W_m$. Under the above isomorphism, how can I describe the image of $W_{m+\sigma}$ inside $W_m^\ast$? In particular, is there a $\tau>0$ such that $W_{m+\sigma}$ it identified with $(W_{m-\tau})^\ast$?

Item Details
- Height:
8 Inches
- Period:
19th Century
- Origin:
A young lady rests her eyes and feet in this alluring porcelain figure, crafted after Meissen. Painted by Carl Thieme, this figure is a model of exceptional composition. The lady's reclining pose is beautifully detailed, and judging by the sealed missive tucked discreetly in her bodice, perhaps an admirer is in her thoughts. Founded in the early 18th century, the Meissen factory was the first European ceramics manufacturer to produce "true" or hard-paste porcelain, and remained unrivaled in terms of innovation and beauty for decades. Carl Thieme operated a painting studio near Dresden from 1876-1895. His works are known for their skillful execution and artistry, and to find a piece in such wonderful condition is exceptional.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Angler from Back to My Youth I wore "Desert Boots" virtually every day all through college until I was drafted in the navy in March, 1956. While serving on the aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA 31) the civilian boots were frowned upon, to say the least. However, there was a similar (actually better) boot used by flight deck workers with a sole that was impervious to petroleum products, oil and such. Using my guile and quick wit, I scored a pair of navy flight deck shoes and wore them daily except for inspections until I was discharged in December, 1957. I did not wear or own anything similar for the next 58 years until I bought the Rockport Day To Night desert boots a few weeks ago. Well, let me tell you they look good, feel better and are my constant foot companions. I'll do just about anything to continue wearing these comfortable boots except go back in the navy

Rated 3 out of 5 by zhaq from Not bad, not great The shoe itself looks GREAT in terms of style and color. The shoe like the "Ledge Hill Boot" has a thin upper. This I don't like because really how long will something like that last? Haven't worn it yet, still contemplating...I WOULD NOT buy this shoe for more than 65$ I paid 100ish...overpriced for not the best quality.

US official: chemical weapons likely used in Syria
(AP) WASHINGTON - A senior administration official says there is "very little doubt" that a chemical weapon was used by the Syrian regime against civilians in an incident that killed at least a hundred people last week.
The official says Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community based its assessment given to the White House on "the reported number of victims, reported symptoms of those who were killed or injured, and witness accounts." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.
The official says the White House believes the Syrian government is barring a U.N. investigative team immediate access to the site of a reported Aug. 21 chemical attack in the Damascus suburbs in order to give the evidence of the attack time to degrade.

I would like to create smooth/distinct polygon zones from raster data that was interpolated from sparse point data. Is the only way to do this is to have a very small output cell size during the interpolation process? I don't like the look of the raster data when I zoom in and see the grids from the raster data. Is there a way I can eliminate these raster grids and have truly distinct polygon zones? In addition, it would be nice if I can change the number of classes that make up the zones easily by simply changing the symbology and changing the number of classes used or even the classification method used.
The standard way to do this in ArcGis using Spatial Analyst, is to:
If you want to be able to dynamically change the classification, you probably should leave the data as a raster and change the classification in the symbology tab of the layer properties.
As for reclassification, doesn't that depend on how you create the interpolated raster in the first place? I was under the impression that the interpolation function gives you several distinct classes.
This requirement for easy reclassification does seem to conflict somewhat with your need for eliminating the raster grid. Normally I'd recommend you vectorize your raster data (to get distinct areas) and generalize the resulting vector (to get rid of the raster grid artifacts), but you obviously can't reclass a vector.
The only way I can think of to harmonize these requirements is to build an analysis model with some adjustable parameters, and run that every time you want a new classification. In that case, depending on how accurate you want it to be, you might be able to get away with a relatively low-resolution interpolation raster, since you're going to vectorize/generalize the result anyway.
I'm assuming that processing time matters - if it's not critical, then maybe just try a higher resolution raster from the get-go.

On the BMX bike I have, pedaling backwards moves the chain but doesn't drive the wheels of the bike backwards like you would expect it to. Why is this?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Do you hear a "tick" sound every time you spin the wheel anti-clockwise? that's the freewheel mechanism composed by two small parts called "pawls" and when you spin it on that direction, those pawls turn loosely until they find the "dent" in the inner mechanism (the ratchet body), that's when the "tick" sound happens.
When you ride your bike, those two pawls do exactly the opposite, they catch the "dents" and force the inner mechanism to rotate! it's wonderfully ingenious and simple at the same time.
I've disassembled and assembled several and it amazes me every time.
The freewheel allows forward pedalling to lock and drive the bike, but spins freely when reversed.
Some BMX style bikes (and kids bikes) have coaster brakes, where if you pedal backwards (well usually they do not actually pedal backwards, just the motion is begun) and it brakes the bike.
I remember well locking the back wheel and trying to generate skid marks on the sidewalk.

How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called "average daily balance (including new purchases)".
Index And When It Is Determined: The Index used to determine your variable APRs is the highest U.S. Prime Rate as
published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal during the 90 days immediately preceding the last day of each
calendar month (the determination date). The Index will be effective for the entire billing cycle that ends in the second month
after the determination date. For example if your billing cycle ends in July, we will use the Index determined on
May 31st. As of 07/01/2016,
the Index (Prime Rate) was 3.50%.
APR for Purchases and Balance Transfers: To determine the APR for purchases and balance transfers, we add a
margin of 6.74%,
or 14.74% to the Index (Prime Rate).
APR for Cash Advances: To determine the APR for cash advances, we add a margin of
21.99% to the Index (Prime Rate).
1We will begin charging interest on cash advances and balance transfers on the transaction date.
Please Note: Your
account generally will have monthly billing cycles, except that your first
billing cycle may be more or less than one month. All credit terms, including
minimum finance charges, will apply in each billing cycle including
the first billing cycle.
You understand that the terms of your account, including the APRs, are subject to change.
We reserve the right to unilaterally change the rates, fees, costs, and other
terms at any time for any reason subject to applicable law.
Required minimum payments may be allocated to the lower APRs first.
Payments in excess of the required minimum payment will generally be applied to balances with highest APRs first.
BALANCE TRANSFERS: You authorize us to make one or more of the
balance transfers that you have requested. All balance transfer requests
are subject to our approval; we are not liable if we do not make a requested
balance transfer. We reserve the right to make balance transfers in the order
we select and to limit the amount of the balance transfers that we
make (this amount may be less than your total credit limit). If you request
an amount that we do not approve, we may process a partial transfer for less
than you requested or we may decline the entire request. In addition, transfer
requests that are incomplete, illegible or requested to cash, to yourself or to
another account with us or one of our affiliates need not be processed. You should not transfer
any amount that is in dispute in order to preserve your dispute rights. You should continue
to monitor the other accounts that you request to transfer balances from and you should
continue to pay the minimum payments due on those accounts until you receive statements
from those creditors showing that the balances due them have been paid in full. This
may not happen until after the balance transfer appears on your billing statement from us.
You are liable for any late payments, finance charges or disputed amounts on your other accounts.
If you want your other accounts closed following a balance transfer, you are responsible for doing so.
Balance transfers are subject to applicable fees and finance charges and do not have the benefit
of a grace period.
CREDIT REPORTS: By applying for this account
you agree that First Bankcard® (a division of First National Bank of Omaha) may obtain
credit reports for purposes of processing your application and for

requested and of the name and address of the credit reporting
agency that furnished the report. You also authorize
First Bankcard® (a division of First National Bank of Omaha) to verify your
employment, income and other relevant information.
NOTICE TO CARDMEMBERS AND AUTHORIZED USERS: We may report
information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments,
or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report.
MINIMUM PAYMENT: You may pay all or a part of the balance
on your account at any time. However, you must pay at least the minimum payment
by the due date shown on your billing statement. The minimum payment will
be indicated on your billing statement and shall be the largest of (1), (2), or (3) listed
below, plus any amount that is past due on your account: (1) Your total New Balance
if it is less than $10; (2) The greater of 2% of the entire New Balance, or $10;
OR (3) The sum of your current cycle fees and finance charges, plus 1% of the entire
New Balance (to calculate this 1%, we will not count amounts in dispute or current
cycle fees and finance charges as part of the New Balance). If your account is
overlimit, we will add to the minimum payment the amount
necessary to reduce your balance to your approved credit limit.

In the call-sequence for
As a side note, the last two prototypes are identical and in a function definition, the first two would be identical as well. That leaves only two supported signatures for
One thing you have to understand about C or any other language that produces native object files is that the only time function prototypes matter is during compilation. By the time the linker sees it, the only thing to be done is fill in the missing addresses of external functions.
Arranging the passing of function parameters is entirely up to the compilers, usually based on an architecture-specific convention. Most implementations on machines with stacks push the parameters in reverse order followed by the return address. Ergo, when code wants to call
Section 126.96.36.199.1 of the C standard specifically says that no implementation will define a prototype for
As you might have guessed, this trick only works in the direction of a caller calling a function with more arguments than the called function consumes will just have pushed on more than the caller will see. A called function with more parameters than the caller pushed will simply look further down the stack than it should and fall victim to the GIGO principle. Since the caller undoes the adjustment to the stack pointer, the stack comes out of it unscathed after the called function returns.
Addendum, addressing Bart van Ingen Schenau's comment:
C++ mangles its symbol names to prevent collisions between same-named, differently-prototyped functions, as almost every native object file format on the planet differentiates symbols only by name. That has the pleasant side effect of preventing mismatched calls between C++ object files, but only because a C++ compiler compiling a wrongly-prototyped call will emit a symbol that won't be present in the object file that would contain the called function. It happens that you get human-readable C++ function names in linker error messages because many of them recognize and demangle C++ symbols.
An object file can refer to a C++ function in another object file by its mangled name and attempt to call it. (I've actually done this experimentally and would never in a million years condone doing it in "real" code.) The linker, which has no idea whether either object was produced by a C++ compiler or from some bit of hand-written assembly, will do nothing to prevent it as long as the symbol names match. That makes the assertion that the linker plays any direct role in enforcing C++ language policies erroneous.
If you define a function named

Similarly, you're defining
As for why those two are permitted, rather than, say, requiring exactly the second form, it's mostly for historical reasons. Early C compilers didn't have prototypes (they were introduced in the 1989 C standard, borrowed from C++). In pre-standard C, defining
probably just meant that the calling environment would pass
For historical reasons, modern calling conventions are likely to work similarly, but since the 1989 ANSI standard compilers have been permitted to make the two forms incompatible -- but if they are, then the implementation has to do whatever is necessary to make both forms work.
C does support overloading, it doesn't support user defined overloading of functions but operators have a fixed set of standard defined overloads.
The compiler has to do the right things for different possible definitions of
BTW, note that has your two last lines are strictly equivalent and the difference between the two first may occurs in valid programs for other functions than main.

Dual Implement Spellcaster lets you add the bonus from an off-hand implement to an attack using your main hand implement. I am making a Human Marauder Ranger and I would love to be able to add an off-hand weapon bonus to a main hand attack. I don't expect such a thing to exist (it would be too good), but does anyone know for sure? Thanks.

I have not seen such an ability on any official WotC D&D book.
I believe the reasoning behind the feat for spell casters as opposed to weapon wielders is because you are always channeling the spell through your wands, orbs, etc. rather then the items are casting and dealing damage with the spell themselves as opposed to where a weapon wielder is dealing damage with the weapon itself. Additionally, as far as I know, there are no spells that require an off-hand implement to cast the second part of a spell (if there is any) as opposed to dual wielding options for weapon wielders where if you wish to dual wield you have the option of abilities to use both weapons to make one attack with the main hand then another with the off hand. Spell casters just do not have this option. I guess the idea was if you want to look cool dual wielding wands, spell daggers, etc. they would give it to you in the way of enhancing your normal single cast spell.
Of course if I have missed this option somewhere I will delete this answer, I just haven't seen or heard of it anywhere.
Dual-Implement Spellcaster only adds a damage bonus, not an attack bonus; I presume an analogous feat would do the same, and that it would disallow off-hand attacks as well. Given that point, there are quite a lot of feats that add extra melee damage alone, although you won't get the flavor.
However, you may well be better off with existing powers anyway. Assumptions:
The melee basic attack with the feat would get you D + S + E + E (the last is the bonus from the feat). Two hits with Twin Strike get you D + E for the first and D + E for the second. So if D is bigger than S, then you're better off with Twin Strike. Given that S tops out at about 10, and D starts out at 7.5 in epic just from using longswords and Weapon Focus, it wouldn't take much optimization to make Twin-Striking better than the feat!

I have recently switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit.I did so under the impression that Lotus Symphony would function on this operating system.
I have done about everything I can think of - including a force install of the i386 package, to trying dylan's symphony package found on OMGubuntu.
Both of these did install it and bring up and agreement screen. I accepted the terms and it doesn't open the program. The Icon of the program when opened is a gray question mark box, then it closes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I know about LibreOffice, and I know that it is functional on 64 bit, but I find symphony to have a far superior UI. So all though that would be an alternative I don't feel as though that is a solution to my problem.

I have a problem regarding how the values under a certain parameter doesn't change after being called again.
I have this kind of code, where, an imp (monster) and a character has to go for a battle:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int gems = 0;
float imp (float imphp) {
float implife = imphp - 5.0;
return implife;
float character (float charlife) {
float charalives = charlife - 2.0;
return charalives;
int main () {
string charactername;
cout << "Hero Life: ";
cout << character(10.0) <<endl;
cout << "Monster Life: ";
cout << imp (10.0) <<endl;
My problem or rather a question is if I call the monster function again is that it returns the value as 1.
Code I used to call monster for the second time after the first turns of damage is done:
cout << monster << endl;
what happens there was it sends me a value of 1. how can i make it show the current value after the damage has been taken...? say if the imp takes another damage, how can i make my program show the current value, since if the imp took out 2.0 at first attack, then takes another 2.0, the value for the hp of the character to show is 6.0? Same with the other function, how can i return it to the current value?

Boelts farm family wins big at meeting
Even in Yuma, your chances of running into a young farmer or rancher are slim, though the odds are a bit better than the rest of Arizona. If you do run into one, grab his or her hand and cheer them on. They're farming for our future.
Congratulate them because their chosen profession is rare and important. But, also congratulate them because Arizona's young farmers and ranchers are winners, especially after American Farm Bureau's 94th annual meeting two weeks ago in Nashville. In two Young Farmers & Ranchers competitions, Arizona placed among the top. One of those placing among the top was a young couple from Yuma: John and Alicia Boelts.
They were awarded the runner-up prize in the Achievement Award competition after competing with 31 other young farm and ranch couples from across the U.S. For their win, the Boelts receive a Case IH Farmall 65A, courtesy of Case IH, and $3,000 in cash and STIHL merchandise, courtesy of STIHL. On the farm, one can always use another piece of equipment.
A farmer's win often goes unnoticed.
What I want to cheer about is the young couple who packed their bags and headed to Nashville. The competition on the national level is intense. Every farm and ranch couple that competed in Nashville had already emerged victorious from their state competitions. For Alicia and John, their recognized achievements in production agriculture represent a future certainly for themselves but also for Yuma and the rest of the country in general.
Read more from this January 27 Yuma Sun article at the link below. A special congratulations to Alicia Boelts (Agricultural Education, 2003), an alumnus of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
