Brother MFC-255CW all-in-one printer
The Brother MFC-255CW lives up to its "multifunction" name by offering printer, scanning, copying as well as fax functions, making it the sort of printer that should appeal to those who work at home or run a small office. Thrown into the mix are photo printing capabilities, which might appeal more to the home users than those in an office.
It has a relatively large footprint as it encases the paper tray which fits into the bottom of the printer. It measures 390 x 365 x 150mm, but the larger dimensions mean that printed paper doesn't project excessively in front of the device, only 50mm or so is visible. Paper feeds from the tray on the bottom, through the printer to lie on top of the paper tray when finished.
The top sections of the printer open in two stages. The bottom section opens to reveal the internal workings of the printer for removing jams, as well as accessing the USB port, which is housed within the device, rather than on the exterior; the second section is to access the scanner, which offers a 1200 x 2400dpi resolution.
Access to the ink cartridges is via a flap on the front, which opens to reveal the bay for the four inks: black, yellow, cyan and magenta. Installation is easy allowing individual colours to be quickly changed as necessary. Replacement cartridges (from Brother) range in cost from approx £10 for a colour tank to £18 for black, with various discounts available on combination packs. Each colour tank is rated at 260 pages, the black at 300.
Exterior connections include the power socket and telephone line for the fax functions of the printer, both on the left side. As mentioned above, the USB connection lies on the interior of the machine, with a channel for the cable to neatly run out of the back. This layout might seem unconventional, but it does at least mean you can push the printer right up against a wall without having to worry about cables hanging out of the back.
Control of the MFC-225CW is via the control panel on the top. This presents an array of buttons, as it gives you the full fax dialler. The centre features a single-line LCD display, which relays the printer's status, as well as displaying your options as you navigate the menu. Compared to the move towards larger LCD displays, it isn't the easiest to navigate, if you are going to be changing settings on the printer itself, rather than via the connected PC.
The MFC-225CW is a network printer, offering a wireless connection to your network. Setup is simply a case of entering your network password once it has detected your network, a process that took us about 2 minutes. Connection is also offered via USB (cable not supplied).
We tested the MFC-225CW with both Mac and PC. Drivers are supplied for both, however the bundled discs don't contain the latest Snow Leopard support for Mac users, so you'll have to download the drivers from the Brother website. An additional disc if supplied for users of Windows 7, but setup on both PC and Mac was straightforward.
Printing is cited at 25-30 ppm depending on whether you are printing colour or monochrome pages. In reality we found that casual printing would give us about 10 pages of text a minute. Moving over to photo printing, an A4 image on the highest settings took just under 10 minutes; a 6 x 4-inch photo print took 1min 30sec. Borderless printing is available, with great results for home printing.
The "photo" printing mode didn't capture the subtle details in a sunset test shot we printed at A4 where the "high quality" mode coped much better. Prints were free from banding, showing a great consistent quality overall. The colours can be a little muted, with a "vivid" option allow you to saturate those colours a little more if you prefer.
Scanning provides four main options: scanning to file, email, OCR and image (or an inserted memory card). You'll need to have support for these various options on the computer you are scanning to, for example, you'll need OCR software to enable that option. Scanning from the device itself is simple, allowing you to select where you are scanning to - i.e., your connected computers. Scanning results are a little weak on colour at the lower settings with good results at higher settings. Copy duplicates the scan options outputting the results to paper.
The front of the MFC-255CW sees a card reader supporting SD/SDHC, MemoryStick and xD-Picture Cards. From here you can print directly, although without a screen to preview, you'll need to print off the index sheet and use the corresponding photo numbers to get the image you want.
You'll also be able to scan to an inserted memory card, with the option of selecting the scan quality and file type at the MFC-255CW, so it enables PC free operation for some tasks.
The fax options will appeal to office users and those who need "sign and fax back" various documents. You get the option for speed dial settings for those who are going to fax regularly, an external TAD interface if you have a standalone answering machine and automatic recognition or telephone and fax messages on shared lines.
The Brother MFC-255CW lives up to its multifunction ambitions with fast enough copying and printing for daily home office tasks. The inability to accept standard USB drives is a slight drawback of this model, but the easy scanning to PC or memory card can quickly step around that.
Results are good in all areas once you step up to the higher print settings, whish speed is maintained at lower qualities for draft printing. The footprint is a little larger than many rivals, so if you don't need to regularly use a printer, it may take up more desk space than is absolutely necessary.

I love food. I love great food, even when it turns out as a disaster. Such as tonight's attempt to master the aquafaba meringue. Total and utter failure plus a kitchen covered in sugar and aquafaba. It went down the sink but it was fun trying. On the flip side, I did master a brilliant toad in the hole tonight, which coming from Yorkshire is a part of my childhood relived.
I want to try more things, new things. I want to know what the favourite meal is for everyone else out there and I want to try it. So, I am setting up a vegan recipe swap to expand my evening cookery repertoire. Who is with me?
Here's how it will work:
- You send me an email with your name and address on by the 1 April.
- I send you an email back with the name and address of someone else.
- You send that person your favourite vegan recipe.
- You will get a recipe in the post in return.
- You get to make and eat some scrummy food plus the pleasure of something fun through the post box.
Feel free to write a short note to the person you are sending your recipe to. You may not be directly swapping with that person, so feel free to write back to them with how your recipe turned out.
Share how your recipe turned out on Instagram or Twitter with #veganrecipeswap and I'll share mine too.
So, let's go – email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Typically along for the ride were "various women with whom Bill Campbell had a personal relationship," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sally Yates explained Monday, during her opening remarks to the jury.
And if it wasn't the mayor himself with his hand out, say feds, it was a rogue's gallery of corrupt officials and Campbell's poker pals, some of whom have already completed prison sentences while awaiting Hizzoner's day in court. They include: Fred Prewitt, a Campbell confidant who admitted serving as a minority "front" for white-owned companies seeking city business; Larry Wallace, the city's chief operating officer and one of Campbell's oldest friends, who was nailed in 2002 for taking $56,000 in illegal payments from a city contractor; and Joe Reid, Wallace's second-in-command, also convicted of accepting bribes.
In their attempt to nab the former mayor, prosecutors have rolled out the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Under RICO, it's less vital to prove the specifics of each allegation against the defendant than it is to demonstrate that Campbell knew he was overseeing a culture of corruption at Atlanta City Hall.
The seven-count indictment alleges 11 separate criminal acts under the RICO heading.
"You're attempting to show a pattern of criminal conduct, which has two advantages," says Alan Cook, director of the University of Georgia's Prosecutorial Clinic. "It allows for stiffer penalties and it allows jurors to connect the dots after you've shown them the whole picture."
That's important for a case like Campbell's, in which there's no proverbial smoking gun, says Terry Lloyd, a former federal prosecutor, now a defense lawyer in Lawrenceville.
Predicts Lloyd: "You'll see prosecutors piling on as much minutia as they can to convince the jury that he just had to know about it."
There was a time, of course, when few could have imagined that Bill Campbell would end up disgraced, persecuted and routinely vilified as the worst Atlanta mayor in generations. Certainly not Clair Muller, who joined Campbell on City Council in 1990.
"It's been a fairly sharp reversal for someone who should've hung the moon," she says.
They first met when Muller was a Buckhead activist fighting the Ga. 400 construction project and Campbell was an up-and-coming councilman willing to discuss neighborhood issues.
"He was smooth, smart and articulate, and had an impeccable background -- Vanderbilt and Duke -- so he really wowed 'em on the north side," recalls Muller, who says she hosted a campaign fundraiser for Campbell in the late '80s.
Much has been made of Campbell's childhood encounters with racism and how those experiences may have shaped his outlook toward white Atlanta. As defense attorney Martin noted Monday, "You have to understand more about the life of Bill Campbell to understand this trial."
Starting at age 7 and for the next few years, he was the only black child in a previously all-white elementary school in his hometown of Raleigh, sent there by his determined father, a janitor who headed the local chapter of the NAACP.
Little else in Campbell's early life suggests racial bitterness. After earning his law degree at Duke University in 1977, he married Sharon Tapscott, a former spokesmodel for M&M's Candies, and took a job with a top Atlanta law firm. Moving into predominantly white Inman Park, the couple sent their two children to Paideia, a pricey private school in Druid Hills.
He joined City Council, rose to become Mayor Maynard Jackson's floor leader, and was best known for leading the Council fight against Presidential Parkway through his adopted neighborhood.
After working for a while as a prosecutor for the U.S. Justice Department, Campbell went into private practice with Steve Labovitz, a white Sandy Springs resident whom Yates described as being "like a brother" to Campbell. Later, after being elected to his first term as mayor in 1993, Campbell hired Labovitz as chief of staff.
Those who know Campbell well say his attitude toward white constituents changed during the bruising 1997 mayor's race against Marvin Arrington. He discovered that much of his north side support had eroded because of the city's inability to control the throngs of black college kids on spring break during the annual Freaknik cruise-a-thon.
"When Bill Campbell lost the white community over Freaknik, he felt betrayed and was never the same," says a local black elected official who asked not to have his name used. "After he won re-election, it was like he said, 'Fuck white people.'"
After Campbell became mayor and she was chairing the City Utilities Committee, Muller says they often butted heads over contracts that he wanted to steer toward a favored firm. She remembers once when they wound up in the same City Hall elevator. By the time the doors opened, the new mayor was screaming at her for questioning why a vital contract that had gained Council approval months earlier had not been signed.
Should not the Library Executive Director, his administration and Library staff be involved in the…
Admit it, we were all waiting on Bill to say something to the tune of…
I listen to you every morning..great show..love it
Hey long time friend, welcome to Atlanta..can't wait to see you and the family..trying to…

|ATLANTA — Sitting at
ATLANTA — Sitting at his locker and clearly unhappy with himself, home-plate umpire Gary Cederstrom said that when he saw the replay of his game-ending strike-three call tonight on Johnny Damon, "It didn't look very good."
Cederstrom said he called the pitch too quickly and that, when an umpire makes a call too quickly, he "usually gets in trouble."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland said the pitch was several inches outside.
If Cederstrom had called the pitch a ball, Damon would have had the game-tying walk, and the Tigers — remarkably — would have had their fifth consecutive walk with two out in the ninth.
Instead, the called third strike from right-hander Peter Moylan on Damon allowed the Braves to escape with a 4-3 win.
"It was a sweeping pitch, going away from Damon," Cederstrom said. "It looked good coming in, then broke late.
"My timing was fast. Whenever you have fast timing as an umpire, you usually get in trouble."

Acriflavine is an antiseptic agent causing both apoptosis and necrosis in yeast. In this work, its effect on the structure and function of catalase, a vital enzyme actively involved in protection against oxidative stress, was investigated. In vitro kinetic studies showed that acriflavine inhibited the enzymatic activity in a competitive manner. The residual activity detectable after preincubation of catalase (1.5 nmol/L) with various concentrations of acriflavine went from 50% to 20% of the control value as the acriflavine concentration increased from 30 to 90 μmol/L. Correlatively with the decrease in activity, alterations in the enzyme's conformation were observed as indicated by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The enzyme's intrinsic fluorescence obtained upon excitation at either 297 nm (tryptophan residues) or 280 nm (tyrosine and tryptophan residues) decreased as a function of acriflavine concentration. Circular dichroism studies showed alterations of the protein structure by acriflavine with up to 13% decrease in α helix, 16% increase in β-sheet content, 17% increase in random coil, and 4% increase in β turns. Spectrophotometric studies showed a blueshift and modifications in the chromicity of catalase at 405 nm, corresponding to an absorbance band due to the enzyme's prosthetic group. Thus, acriflavine induced in vitro a profound change in the structure of catalase so that the enzyme could no longer function. Our results showed that acriflavine, a compound producing apoptosis and necrosis, can have a direct effect on vital functions in cells by disabling key enzymes.

Fraud is on the rise. In July, KPMG released statistics highlighting that from January to June, losses due to fraud in the UK alone reached £1.1 billion - a rise from £609 million during the same period last year. Almost half of this £1.1 billion was in the private sector. Perhaps more worryingly, a recent survey by Ernst & Young carried out across European institutions highlighted that one in 10 respondent companies had no anti-fraud measures in place at all.

If the story seems preposterously complex, well, that's kind of the point. Though Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro), opening Sept. 19 at the Fox, can be enjoyed as a pure, outrageous farce, replete with multiple mistaken identities and nested plots gone horribly awry, there is a method to the madness. Director Dejan Miladonovic says, "It's not just everything about who is hiding behind which door and is Cherubino dressed as a girl, no."
Figaro offers a comedic condemnation of the Baroque era's labyrinthine feudal formalism. Composed by Mozart to a libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, the opera premiered in 1786. The United States had recently brewed Boston Harbor and sent the Redcoats sailing in search of a more subdued wardrobe. The guillotine days of the French Revolution were just a few years away.
But Figaro is not a story of smoking muskets or headless aristocrats. It is a revolution of subtler means. There is a perfect moment, halfway through the first act, when Marcellina and Susanna are brought to a standstill while exiting a room. Each hates the other, but each also insists that the other precede her out of the room, pretending respect while none-too-delicately implying that Marcellina is an old crone and Susanna is a slut.
Mozart's score makes the case in its own way. The Count sings in four-bar phrases, highly ornamented and repetitive. The music is clever and complex, but sterile. Cherubino anticipates more organic sensibilities. "His aria is 52 bars long without a repetition of any melodic idea," says conductor William Fred Scott. "That's how Mozart creates revolution: by taking musical ideas and going, 'This doesn't work anymore.'"
So that's why Washington's soldiers had those piccolos and drums.
Atlanta Opera presents The Marriage of Figaro Sept. 19-22 at the Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. Thurs. 8 p.m.; Fri.-Sat. 7:30 p.m.; Sun. 3 p.m. $21-$130. 404-881-8885. www.atlantaopera.org.

Product Description
The Percy Jackson series gives Greek mythology a contemporary reboot as a hesitant young man discovers he's the only son of the sea god Poseidon and has supernatural powers and wild adventures thrust upon him. In Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the haven that protects Percy (Logan Lerman) and other demigods is threatened, potentially leaving them vulnerable to the titans and monsters that seek to destroy them. Only the healing power of the legendary Golden Fleece can save them. Clarisse (Leven Rambin), daughter of war god Ares, is chosen for this quest, but Percy and his friends Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) and Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) set out after the Fleece as well, accompanied by Percy's unexpected half-brother Tyson (Douglas Smith), who just happens to be a cyclops. After the lackluster first movie, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is palpably more energetic and a bit more true to the books (though some fans may wonder about one particular plot change towards the end of the movie). Don't expect much fidelity to the original mythology, but the narrative zips along and the fights provide suitable spectacle. Boosting the consistent action are a variety of star cameos, including Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games) as Dionysus (or "Mr. D") and especially Nathan Fillion (Firefly) as an entrepreneurial Hermes. --Bret Fetzer

I'm sure most will agree it's been a crazy winter, and the entire ice fishing crowd has been cheated.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recently put out two press releases that anglers and deer hunters should review.
As a part-time snow bird, in addition to my daily fishing in the Intercoastal Waterway, I spend one day chasing wild hogs.
Is anyone ice fishing?
For the past seven years, my wife and I have spent February and March in the little town of Flagler Beach, Fla. We rent a condo on a small bay on the Intercoastal waterway, just 10 steps out the back door, and the Atlantic Ocean less than 200 yards out the front door.
The reports I've received and a few of my lake drive-bys, tell me anglers have begun to walk on the water — and the fish are biting!
Last week, more than 60,000 attended the 38th National Shooting Sports Foundation's show at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas.
This year, the Sportsman Education Workshop will celebrate its 29th year on Saturday, Jan. 30, at the Saratoga County Offices of the Cornell Cooperative Extension located at 50 West High St. in Ballston Spa.
Several things tell me we are nearing the ice fishing season. On a recent drive on Union Avenue, I saw four trucks parked off the road right next to the woods leading to little Lake Lonely.
While many of you were home recuperating last Friday from your New Year's Eve celebration or watching football, I was one of nine adults, eight young hunters and five welled-trained beagles who were hunting cottontail rabbits in Bunny Bowl XVIII.
Last week I made my first visit to the goose field this year; no snow or ice; just a soggy field and a comfortable 40 degrees.
Those of you who have read my columns over the last 28 years know that when it comes to hunting, I am always looking for something new and challenging to shoot.
How's your Christmas shopping going? Have you made your list for Santa and taped it on the refrigerator where the family can see it?
As a recent recipient of a Saratoga County-issued unrestricted pistol permit, I can legally carry a concealed handgun.
Bowhunter Lisa Roddy of Scotia was hunting with her boyfriend in Schenectady County on opening day in the Southern Zone.
When I left Fort Dix in 1968, I had no interest in shouldering an AR rifle.
A funny thing happened to me on my way home from the gun smith's last Tuesday.
Last Wednesday evening, I attended this year's Capital District Bassmaster's (CDB) annual awards banquet.
Serious bow and gun deer hunters know scouting their hunting grounds and hanging trail cams prior to the season opening is very important to their success.
On Nov. 7, properly licensed crossbow hunters will have the opportunity to hunt deer in the Southern Zone until the season ends on Nov. 20.
Amsterdam Mayor Michael Villa said crews expected to have the sewer line leak on Forest Avenue fixed by Thursday evening.
When an inferno raced through five 19th century Woodlawn Avenue brick row houses in July, it jeopardized one of the few Saratoga Springs examples of the brownstone-style homes that are so numerous in New York City.
Major league scouts will be coming in droves to watch the pitching exploits of Shenendehowa senior IAN ANDERSON, just as they did a year ago to take in the batting and fielding prowess of Niskayuna's Garrett Whitley, who became a first-round pick of the Tampa Bay Rays.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Andre Berto's life has changed quite a bit in the 11 months since his last fight, a lopsided decision against Juan Urango.
Since then, Berto prepared to fight the biggest bout of his career against fellow welterweight titleholder Shane Mosley on Jan. 30. And then Berto endured the life-changing event that forced that fight to be called off less than two days ahead of time: the devastating 7.0 earthquake that rocked Haiti, the Caribbean island nation where his parents are from and where he has many family members.
Eight members of Berto's family were killed in the disaster that claimed more than 200,000. His sister and niece were missing for days before being located.
After Berto and his brother, Cleveland, went to Haiti on a relief mission, working among the dead and dying to do what they could, Berto vowed to do whatever he could to keep attention on his ravaged homeland.
That brings us to Saturday night, when Berto knocked out former titleholder Carlos Quintana in the eighth round to retain his title in the main event of a card dubbed "Fighting for Haiti."
"I was looking forward to getting back in there and getting this fight out of the way," Berto said. "I know I was rusty. But I was ready to get in there."
Berto did what he could to focus attention on the island, which many have forgotten in the months since the disaster. Berto and promoter Lou DiBella promised to donate a percentage of the gate receipts to Berto's Dynasty Foundation to help the earthquake relief effort.
It is a noble cause. Unfortunately, there probably won't be a lot of money because the crowd was sparse. The attendance was not announced, for obvious reasons, but there couldn't have been more than 3,000 or so in the cavernous BankAtlantic Center.
But those who showed up were into the fight and watched Berto (26-0, 20 KOs), albeit rusty, do his thing in retaining his 147-pound title for the fourth time.
"The kid went through hell with what happened," DiBella said. "You gotta give the kid some credit. He really sucked it up. He was fully trained to fight Shane and then he went through a personal tragedy and then came back for this fight. I thought he showed a lot of character.
"Now we want Manny Pacquiao. Whenever Manny wants to fight us, we are ready."
Although Berto, 26, was rusty and took a few rounds to get rolling, he did so under tough circumstances. He said in the first or second round he injured his left biceps.
"I think I tore it or pulled it," said Berto, who wrapped himself in the Haitian flag. "I really wanted to throw the left hooks to the body and I could feel it. I think he knew my biceps was hurt and he tried to take advantage of it."
Puerto Rico's Quintana (27-3, 21 KOs), 33, however, couldn't take advantage. Although he rocked Berto in the second round with a left hand, Berto was clearly the physically stronger man.
It was only a matter of time until that strength took over.
In the third round, Berto righted himself and unloaded a flurry on Quintana, who was laying on the ropes. Adding to Berto's advantage in the round was when referee Tommy Kimmons docked a point from Quintana for hitting Berto behind the head after having previously warning him for the foul.
Round after round, Berto was slowly breaking Quintana down. A right hand here, a left hook there. Quintana felt them.
In the eighth round, Berto, injury be damned, took it to Quintana. He was teeing off on Quintana and Kimmons was looking closely, ready to stop it at any moment as Quintana was being rocked.
Berto hammered a stumbling Quintana around the ring. He was trying to hold Berto but he would have none of it. He separated himself and unleashed a straight right hand that snapped Quintana's head back, forcing Kimmons to step in and stop it at 2 minutes, 16 seconds.
"He took some savage shots at the end," said DiBella, who also promotes Quintana. "But he's a man's man. He did the best he could. He has nothing to be ashamed of."
"I knew he was hurt and as soon as I hurt him I wanted to finish him as soon as possible," Berto said. "He didn't hurt me at all and that knockout was pretty vicious. And you have to look at it like I've been off a long time. I'll get better from here."
DiBella has promoted Berto for his entire career and was proud of him.
"He hasn't fought in 11 months and he put a lot of pressure on himself for this fight," DiBella said. "It took him a few rounds before he loosened up and he came into his own in the last couple of rounds. He can't stay out 11 months again. He's a young welterweight and he needs to fight.
"I thought he was tight for a couple of rounds and I was a little worried after he grabbed the biceps. Despite the injury, Andre sucked it up and did what he had to do."
Berto was happy with the win, relieved to get back in the ring and still focused on Haiti.
"I went through a lot," Berto said. "The people of Haiti did too. They are strong and I was glad to do what I could. I'm holding up this [Haitian] flag and giving any type of support I could."

Yih Chang Lin, MD earned his medical degree at University of Santo Tomas College of Medicine and Surgery in Manila, Philippines. He finished his internal medicine internship and residency training at Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio in 2010. Dr. Lin also completed his rheumatology fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in 2012 and an additional year of vasculitis fellowship in 2013. Dr. Lin joined the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine in the Division of Rheumatology as an Assistant Professor on July 1, 2013.
Dr. Lin has been involved extensively in academic research particularly in systemic vasculitis, psoriatic arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. He has published in peer-reviewed journals and medical text books, and presented his research at both local and international rheumatology conferences. His main clinical and research focus is systemic vasculitis and he will be starting a Vasculitis Center at USF Health.
Dr. Lin is currently seeing patients at USF Health Morsani Center for Advanced Healthcare and Tampa General Hospital.
Dr. Joanne Valeriano is also a member of our VA faculy.
Dr. Helen Bateman is Associate Professor of Medicine and Associate Program Director of the Rheumatology Fellowship at Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida as well as Chief of Rheumatology at James A. Haley VA, with which USF is closely affiliated.
Dr. Bateman's enthusiasm for patient care and the practice of clinical medicine began as a medical student at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, London University and continued through her Internal Medicine Chief Residency and Allergy / Immunology fellowship. Her subsequent clinical and research fellowship in Rheumatology at Hospital for Special Surgery, Cornell University, focused her interest in rheumatic diseases where she continued as volunteer faculty teaching students, residents and fellows at HSS and at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School as Assistant Professor. Her training and board certification in multiple specialties, in different countries, with participation in both academics and private practice has given her a unique perspective and expertise in patient care and a passion for the education of future physicians in her ongoing Rheumatology clinical practice.
Dr. Bateman has several publications in peer reviewed journals in the area of Rheumatology Education. Workshops presented at national and local meetings have included teaching joint injection techniques using simulators and she has helped develop and demonstrate the use of an innovative computer model to assist in the diagnosis of different types of arthritis.

Construction of test problems in quadratic bivalent programming
Quadratic function
A quadratic function, in mathematics, is a polynomial function of the form The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis. The expression in the definition of a quadratic function is a polynomial of degree 2 or second order, or a 2nd degree polynomial, because the highest exponent of x is 2. If the quadratic function is set equal to zero, then the result is a quadratic equation. The solutions to the equation are called the roots of the equation.

Quadratic programming
Quadratic programming (QP) is a special type of mathematical optimization problem. It is the problem of optimizing (minimizing or maximizing) a quadratic function of several variables subject to linear constraints on these variables.
more from Wikipedia
Domain of a function
In mathematics, the domain of definition or simply the domain of a function is the set of "input" or argument values for which the function is defined. That is, the function provides an "output" or value for each member of the domain. For instance, the domain of cosine is the set of all real numbers, while the domain of the square root consists only of numbers greater than or equal to 0 (ignoring complex numbers in both cases).
more from Wikipedia
Mathematical optimization
In mathematics, computer science, or management science, mathematical optimization (alternatively, optimization or mathematical programming) refers to the selection of a best element from some set of available alternatives. In the simplest case, an optimization problem consists of maximizing or minimizing a real function by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set and computing the value of the function.
more from Wikipedia
Iterative method
In computational mathematics, an iterative method is a mathematical procedure that generates a sequence of improving approximate solutions for a class of problems. A specific implementation of an iterative method, including the termination criteria, is an algorithm of the iterative method. An iterative method is called convergent if the corresponding sequence converges for given initial approximations.

Integer lattice
In mathematics, the n-dimensional integer lattice (or cubic lattice), denoted Z, is the lattice in the Euclidean space R whose lattice points are n-tuples of integers. The two-dimensional integer lattice is also called the square lattice, or grid lattice. Z is the simplest example of a root lattice. The integer lattice is an odd unimodular lattice.
more from Wikipedia
Generating set of a group
In abstract algebra, a generating set of a group is a subset that is not contained in any proper subgroup of the group. Equivalently, a generating set of a group is a subset such that every element of the group can be expressed as the combination (under the group operation) of finitely many elements of the subset and their inverses.

It's that time when businesses budget for the coming year. This year that task is more challenging than ever.
That's because no 2013 financial strategy is complete without a contingency plan for the looming fiscal cliff - the $600 billion package of tax hikes and government spending cuts that will kick in on Jan. 1 if Democrats and Republicans in Congress are unable to strike a deal to avoid it.
Integrators could be hit hard if their clients are forced to delay or abandon previously planned projects. Cathy Mrosko, director of government affairs and industry outreach for the National Systems Contractors Association says that integrators and clients alike are taking a "wait and see" approach.
"Everybody is in a state of 'I don't know what to do,'" she says.
"It's definitely having an impact," says Bill Craig, VP of business development for Logic Integration in Lone Tree, Colo. "For clients that are considering starting projects, everything is on hold until the first of the year."
While the implications of the fiscal cliff would likely extend to all market sectors, integrators who work with the government or whose clients rely on government funding could feel the heat first, but few will be spared if tax hikes force other industries to pull back.
Related: 5 Business Lessons from the Fiscal Cliff by Daniel Newman
"The cliff has to do more than anything with government spending; [but it also] has everybody even in non-government industries just staring," says Bruce Kaufmann, CEO of Human Circuit in Gaithersburg, Md.
As always, sustained drops in business will require integrators to cut their own costs.
"[U]ltimately, your biggest expense is payroll," says Tom Berry, Jr. of Moutainside, N.J..-based Verrex. "You've got to look at payroll, and also where you pursue that business. If the U.S. develops a position where it's tough to do business, then it drives business owners outside the United States."
But cutting costs won't just be about staffing. NSCA executive director Chuck Wilson says integrators are already looking at what the potential changes to the tax code could mean from an ownership standpoint and how they can minimize their tax burdens for next year.
"'[Do] I write off a lot of inventory like I usually do?,'" he asks. "'Do I do that in 2012 or do I carry forward that higher amount of excess inventory this year so I can harvest those losses next year? But then again the Republicans are looking to close up those types of loopholes. The real estate that I [theoretically] own, do I get rid of it this year because they're closing up loopholes?' So it's kind of cool that our members are thinking so strategically about the ownership of the companies."
Some integrators interviewed for this story said they aren't overly worried about the fiscal cliff and that they assume a compromise will be reached to avert it. But many aren't so sure, and the implications of a potential political failure shouldn't be underestimated, says Berry.
"I think ultimately our hands, our fates are with the politicians," he says. "And as long as Washington continues to be divided across party lines that does not benefit in any way shape or form my business, which is a small business, or our industry."
