Why are NHS prescriptions not free for people with asthma and other chronic diseases? A friend with diabetes gets all of her prescriptions for free. I have asthma and must pay for mine.
Dr Fred Kavalier answers your health question:
Many years ago, the NHS decided that it would provide free prescriptions for patients who were suffering from "deficiency diseases" ones caused by the human body's inability to produce natural hormones. People with diabetes are not able to produce enough insulin, whereas asthma is not caused by a specific hormone deficiency. Yet if you had both diabetes and asthma, your asthma prescriptions would be free. The rules are hopelessly out of date, but no one seems keen to update them. Why, for example, isn't hormone replacement therapy free? It is a classic example of a condition caused by the body's inability to produce natural hormones. Your best bet is a pre-payment certificate, which is like a season ticket for prescriptions. If you buy more than four prescription items in three months or 14 items in 12 months, this will save you money. A three-month pass costs 26.85, a 12-month pass 98.70. You can pay for the 12-month pass by direct debit spread out over 10 months. You can order online at www.ppa.org.uk/ppa/ppc_intro.htm.
Please mail your questions for Dr Fred to firstname.lastname@example.com. He regrets that he is unable to respond personally to questions.Reuse content

Grand Eclipse
Back when it was common knowledge that the sun and all the planets revolved around our Earth, the phenomena of solar and lunar eclipses were mysterious and terrifying occurrences. Were the gods unhappy with us? Were these heavenly messages indicating the End of Days had arrived? Emperors and kings often felt a familial connection with the Sun, and so feared its temporary withdrawal from the sky to be a warning of its unhappiness with royal actions. Desp

Used for dog allergies
Posted by 5338566411896964048 on May 08, 2014
My dog's allergies have almost entirely cleared up after using this for 2 months (therapeutic dose of one scoop per day). I combined this with high quality dog food (Origen) and Udo's Choice powdered vitamins on a daily basis, and his scratching and scabbing have subsided considerably. For my 12lb Italian Greyhound, it lasts about a month to a month and a half. I have not tried any other, cheaper products, but this one did the job.
Cat loves it!
Posted by healthfirst on Sep 10, 2014
Wish I had known about this product years ago when my other cats were alive. My new cat doesn't detect this at all I've had cats that had IBD, intestinal/bowel cancer and I NEVER want that to happen again. Just trying to do all that I can to keep my new cat healthy with no allergy or intestinal problems.
Perfect solution to cats' loose stools
Posted by 5529029022557969091 on Nov 23, 2014
Absolutely happy with this product. It is odourless and my cats have no problems eating their raw meat mixed with this.
Works Great
Posted by Reviewer1767544 on Aug 01, 2016
I recommend this product. However, be aware that if your animal is a very sickly, non-thriving animal, they could die from the pathogen die-off affect. My scabby cat got better with fish oil on his food, but when I added this to the mix, after 4 days he got very fatigued. I knew it was die off and quit giving him the probiotics and waited for him to get better. Unfortunately he didn't get better, he died on the third day. No telling what was going on inside his body. A couple of months later I gave a 1/2 dosage to my small non-thriving 10-year-old dog and he started having die off after 4 days. I had to take him to the vet where he got diagnosed with heartworm and took meds, then had to go back with water retention and congestive heart failure and he got more meds. I tried to detox the die off with activated charcoal, but within 10 days he died. I don't blame the probiotics at all, just want you to know that small pets that have problems to begin with can get big problems with die off reaction.

The best Probiotic
Posted by Reviewer3068236 on Oct 17, 2015
This is the best probiotic I've found for our 16 year old Australian Shepherd. I helps her to keep her gut healthy.
Posted by 5433713281902372804 on Apr 22, 2014
This probiotic works well. It is easy to mix in food and seems to do the job. Our dog has bouts of bad diarrhea and this has helped to keep her stool firm. Hope it continues. Fast shipping from the company, too!

More unrest is feared after a Monday night vigil for a teenager shot dead by police in Brooklyn erupted into violence.
The trouble began after about 100 residents began a protest march from the site in East Flatbush where 16-year-old Kimani Gray was shot by two police officers on Saturday night. A group of marchers began overturning fruit stands, grabbing rubbish bins and hurling whatever they had at hand at a police station.
According to the NYPD, Kimani was shot by officers after he reached into his waistband allegedly to retrieve a handgun. A revolver was found at the scene, although the teenager's family has insisted that he could not have been carrying a weapon.

"More interesting than you thought..."
George Washington has gotten a bad rap from history, and this book seeks to set the story straight. His life is fascinating and complex. He lived in the much-vaunted "interesting times" and he managed to shape both his own destiny and the destiny of the nation. He is not fully a hero in this book, however. How he chose to "solve" the moral quandary of his own slave-owning, while perhaps advanced for his time, does not put him in history's best light now. All in all, this is a good book, very well read, and worth the time it takes to listen to it. It will give you a new perspective on present-day political partisan battles.
"Stomach Noises"
The book is very informative about the history and backgroud of our one of our founding fathers. I little dry and long winded but still interesting. I do not care the the hunger pains that occur at 2 hours and up to 2 hours 20 minutes into the recording.
"Great book, average read"
In listening to this book, I had to overcome annoyance with the reader, whose audible intakes of breath and different phrasing detracted from the "listen". Despite that, the book is very good and a useful listen.
"Another 'Debunker'"
I could not finish the book, it annoyed me so.
The author kept launching into critiques on his subject, his motives, the morality behind his motives, his judgement, his likes, dislikes, etc.
There should be a law against such presumption by historians towards their subjects. Not just because it's unfair, or that it's drearily boring, but because it insults the reader.
Lesson for aspiring historians: set the narrative based on facts, events,and chronology. Describe the places and things. Avoid speculation about motives, causes, effects. That's the reader's job.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"1st in war, 1st in peace, & 1st in our hearts."
"...his trademark decision to surrender power as commander in chief and then president, was not...a sign that he had conquered his ambitions, but rather that he fully realized that all ambitions were inherently insatiable and unconquerable. He knew himself well enough to resist the illusion that he transcended human nature. Unlike Julius Caesar and Oliver Cromwell before him, and Napoleon, Lenin, and Mao after him, he understood that the greater glory resided in posterity's judgment. If you aspire to live forever in the memory of future generations, you must demonstrate the ultimate self-confidence to leave the final judgment to them. And he did."
― Joseph J. Ellis, His Excellency: George Washington
A good Ellis. Probably 3.5 stars. Like with 'American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson' Ellis knows his subject has been written about before and probably better. He isn't looking to redo or modernize the biography of George Washington. He only wants to do a couple things. He wants to narrowly explore the character of George Washington AND write a slick and easily digestible biography that will sell well. I know this sounds a bit harsh, but Ellis, while an academic historian, aims both bigger and smaller. He wants to be read. He wants to be bought. So, his biographies and histories tend to be smaller, easier to digest, and built to be sold on the Costco book tables. That isn't a bad thing.
Joseph Ellis is in the same line as that great pantheon of Founding biographers: Walter Isaacson, Jon Meacham, David McCullough, Edmund Morris, Ron Chernow and Doris Kearns Goodwin. He seems to be center mass of this group. Not as solid as Chernow or Morris, not as slick as Meacham or Isaacson.
Anyway, my only real complaint about this biography is stylistic. I hated, HATED, his periodic asides (he called them Sittings). I almost dropped a star just because of those. Ugh. It reminded me of the trend with weeklies or newspapers of blocking a quote from the text (callouts?). But this was worse. It was done like a third person observation of George Washington. They were uneven and just kinda stupid and weak. They weren't necessary, were distracting, and diminished the text.
"The Information was good but...."
no so much on the narration. Too much lip smacking and the like found it to be distracting.
"Excellent book, Narrator needs caffeine..."
This is an interesting look at the life of G. Washington. Unfortunately you'll have a hard time listening to it unless your device has the capability to speed up the narration to 2X. At that speed it actually works. Believe the reviews that say the narration is painfully slow.
"A Very Good Read on Washington"
I am a fan of great history and am very glad I found this book. While the subject may not have been covered with the depth I would most prefer, this is the best and most balanced book on Washington I have read. If you are not familiar with the real story of Washington (and who is?), I strongly recommend this book.
"Couldn't get past the terrible narration"
I'm going to have to check this book out of the library to be able to intelligently comment on its content.
The narration was awful. The pace was painfully slow. The length of the audible book could have been cut by at least 30% had it been read by a reader with a more reasonable pace. His breathing was distracting, his pauses before the pronounciation of French names were annoying and pretentious, but his audible stomach growls were the final straw.
I will no longer buy an audible book without listening to a long sample first.
"Honest Assessment"
While I can't speak for Ellis' past, I can say that this book was a good look at the life of our 1st President. The book could best be described as an analysis of Washington's life rather than an in depth biographical profile. The book glosses over many of the details that one would expect in a comlete biography. However, Ellis readily presents interesting analysis throughout the work on the underlying motivations of Washington. This analysis admittedly lends an opinionated slant to Washington's life, but the arguments are weighty and well supported. This is my first look at Ellis, but I will purchase more of his books.

Cournot competition in spatial markets: Some further results
In contrast to most of the literature on a circular market in which firms choose to disperse equally from each other in equilibrium, this research note shows that the equal-distance dispersion in a circular market results from the substitutability of products produced by two single-plant duopoly firms. Meanwhile, agglomeration at one point results from complementarity. In the multi-plant duopoly case, we find - in contrast to Chamorro-Rivas (2000) - that when firms sell complements, the equilibrium locations tend to exhibit both inter-firm agglomeration and intra-firm dispersion. In other words, the location layout in equilibrium exhibits spatial agglomeration (by pairs) finitely at many points. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin/Heidelberg 2003

The road up to Memorial park is closed to motor vehicles in the winter so walkers have the park all to themselves. Temps are way above normal now and most of the snow is melting. Just look out for dog poo.
Sorins Bluff and Memorial Park offer really nice vistas over the city of Red Wing and Mississippi River. There are also some nice facts about the old quarries that used to be here.
Since my husband and I didn't want to take the time to hike Barn Bluff, we chose to drive up to the top of Sorin's Bluff. We parked at the top and enjoyed the great views of Red Wing. Unfortunately, my photos do not do it justice. It is something one needs to see for himself. Very happy we drove...
I declined my husband's offer to climb Barn Bluff, and opted for the drive up to Sorin's bluff. It was a clear day, and you could see forever up there. Plenty of paths for hiking, and along the way there was signage to explain the history of the bluffs, and the community. The quarries are amazing too.
I grew up in Red Wing and the drive up Sorin's Bluff is a must do on each return trip. I never get tired of the view. You get a birds eye view of Red Wing. You can see the nuclear plant that is near the Treasure Island Casino on a clear day. This is also a great place for...
Sorin's Bluff is located in the Memorial Park. A large and beautifull park. There are some points of interests here besides the overview points. Limestone quarry and some great info about its history, large green places to play and discover.
This is accessbile for cars and pedestrian also. An advantage over Barnn's Bluff (accessible only on foot trails) which was...
Glad the Best Western hotel staff clerk that checked us in told us about it. Well worth the drive up it. Awesome view! Pictures don't do it justice you have to visit in person!
Great view of all the surrounding area. Nice winding drive to the top. Nice history and and geology signs. Would agree with the sign that says, " Do not advise attempting riding bicycle to top." Keep small children off of the walls.
Visiting Red Wing for a couple days and had time during the day for a little fun. Drove up the bluff to Soldier's Memorial Park and walked all around the bluff, enjoyed the views of the city, then played a round of disc golf. The course is pretty easy with just a few tress and wide open fairways. It was...
This is one of best parks in Red Wing. The city has put a lot work into fixing it up. There are new picnic areas and bath rooms. I wish the bathrooms were better equipped than port-a-potties. There is a frisbee golf course here. We are going to have a picnic here later this summer.

Whitworth University is a private Christian liberal arts college located in Spokane, Washington, United States. Founded in 1890, Whitworth is a private, residential, liberal arts institution affiliated with the Presbyterian church. Whitworth's community of teacher-scholars is committed to rigorous and open intellectual inquiry and to the integration of Christian faith and learning.
The university offers bachelor's and master's degrees in a variety of academic disciplines. The university, which has an enrollment of nearly 3,000 students, offers over 100 undergraduate and graduate programs.[6]
In 1883, founder George F. Whitworth established the Sumner Academy in Sumner, a small town in Washington Territory. The school was incorporated in 1890 as Whitworth College. In 1899, the college moved to Tacoma. When a Spokane developer offered land just before World War I, the college moved once more. In September 1914 classes were held for the first time in Spokane. In 1942, Whitworth merged with Spokane Junior College when the latter shut down due to financial difficulties during World War II.[7] The board of trustees voted to change the institution's name to Whitworth University in 2006, which became effective July 1, 2007.[8]
Whitworth has 200 acres of stately pines, wide-open green spaces and first-rate facilities in northern Spokane—right in the middle of one of the most scenic regions in the U.S. The Spokane area offers a thriving community life and abundant outdoor activities. In 2009 Whitworth opened a University District (U-District) location near downtown Spokane, expanding program offerings for nontraditional evening students and providing an ideal location with shorter commutes for working professionals.
Due to an expanding student body, the university has invested more than $110 million in campus improvements in recent years. The university is currently renovating the Cowles Music Center, which will remodel the existing space and add 21,481 square feet of new teaching studios, practice rooms, rehearsal rooms, and lobby space to the structure.
Whitworth is committed to sustainable approaches for new and existing construction and to pursuing LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
Whitworth enrolls students in traditional undergraduate programs, working adult programs and graduate programs in athletic training, business, marriage and family counseling, education and theology. The university offers more than 100 undergraduate and graduate academic programs built on a strong liberal arts foundation and enriched by experiential learning opportunities such as internships, service learning, research with professors and study abroad.
The average class size is under 30 students, and there are 339 employed faculty; the student/faculty ratio is 11:1.
The university currently includes four schools: College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business, School of Education, and School of Continuing Education; and offers 107 undergraduate academic majors and programs, 5 graduate programs, and 7 adult bachelor's degree completion programs.[13]
In 2016, Whitworth maintained the No. 3 position in U.S. News & World Report's annual rankings of the best regional university values in the West. For the 16th consecutive year, Whitworth also ranked one of the top 10 best universities out of 118 master's-level universities in the 15-state region of the Western United States.[7] Forbes ranked Whitworth as the 40th in the West in America's Top Colleges rankings.[9] Kiplinger's consistently recognizes Whitworth as a top-rated institution, along with some of the country's most elite schools, based on the university's high four-year graduation rate, low average student debt at graduation, good student-to-faculty ratio, excellent on-campus resources, and overall great value.
Whitworth's athletics teams are the Pirates (or, unofficially, the Bucs). The university offers 20 varsity sports and competes in the Northwest Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Men's sports include cross country, football, basketball, swimming, track and field (indoor and outdoor), golf, tennis, soccer and baseball; women compete in soccer, volleyball, basketball, swimming, track and field (indoor and outdoor), golf, tennis, and softball.
Whitworth has won a total of 10 Northwest Conference McIlroy-Lewis All-Sports Trophies, including the last nine in a row (2008–2016). The Northwest Conference All-Sports Trophy recognizes athletic excellence among Northwest Conference institutions across all fields of competition.
Students can participate in a variety of intramural and club sports/activities: ultimate frisbee, volleyball, soccer, tennis, etc. Club frisbee is also offered to all students.
Student life[edit]
The Associated Students of Whitworth University ("ASWU") is in charge of the clubs and activities on campus.[10] The ASWU is composed of three executive officers, who coordinate the student government and who lead the student body, several dorm senators and representatives who represent specific living areas and hold voting power, and coordinators who are responsible for programming in specialized areas (i.e., Outdoor Recreation, Intramurals, Special Events). The ASWU Assembly, composed of all the positions mentioned above, gathers weekly and all student are welcome to attend. Elections for its offices (e.g. President, Vice President, Senator) take place annually.

The Fresh Meadows community is to be home to a new Bukharian temple that requested zoning variances, but despite the description, it is not the temple that sparked such bitter debate earlier in the spring.
The Fresh Meadows Bukharian Synagogue appealed to Community Board 8's zoning committee June 2 for two variances to allow it not to provide any parking and for slimmer front yards on the corner lot. The congregation had purchased the property at 71-52 172nd St. in Fresh Meadows, where a one-story structure stands on the lot, in 2006.
The group asked the zoning committee to waive the rule that a community facility have a 15-foot front yard, saying that it would make one of the two front yards on the corner lot five feet deep and the other 10 feet. For a community facility this size, the zoning resolution requires 14 parking spaces. The congregation asked to waive the requirement because a majority of the congregation lives within three-quarters of a mile of the site.
If these requests sound familiar, it is because in March another congregation, the Bukharian Cultural Center, asked CB 8 for similar variances for a temple on 80th Road at the corner of Chevy Chase Street in Jamaica Estates. If approved, it would be the fourth temple on the block it shares with Hillcrest Jewish Center, an Israeli congregation called Beit Israel of Jamaica Estates and the Anshe Shalom building under construction.
The Bukharian Cultural Center congregation's request was met with deep and vocal skepticism by the board, which referred it to the borough president's Land Use Committee in late March.
During the public participation portion of the June 2 committee hearing about the Fresh Meadows Bukharian synagogue, Rabbi Dr. Richard Weiss from the nearby Young Israel of Hillcrest and Rabbi Asher Schechter, whose congregation worships on 73rd Avenue a block from the proposed site, both endorsed the congregation and the temple's creation, as did most of the 14 speakers, according to the hearing notes. Schechter told the audience that he had heard only positive feedback from the community.
The committee approved the variances by a vote of 7-0, the hearing notes said.
"This applicant has been and will continue to be a good neighbor," CB 8 Zoning Committee Chairman Steven Konigsberg said, according to the notes. "They understand the need to compromise and be respectful of those who live nearby."
When the full board voted on the matter at the June 11 meeting, it was again unanimously approved.
Meantime, the Bukharian Cultural Center's temple application is waiting for the Board of Standards and Appeals to issue a recommendation regarding its fate.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History is building a new website! Look for it in 2017.
The Carnegie Museum herbarium has significant worldwide holdings as well as the best representation in any herbarium of specimens from western Pennsylvania and the Upper Ohio Basin. Outside of the immediate region for which the museum's collection is the best in the world, the greatest number of specimens are from the rest of North America (especially arctic Canada, southeastern US, and western US), followed by Latin America and Asia. Please see the Visits & Loans page for information about scheduling a visit.
Carnegie Museum of Natural History's herbarium has approximately 3,000 type specimens representing about 0.6 % of the collection. Type specimens from the collection are available in a Collections Online website.
Included in the museum's type specimens are:
The herbarium has more than 500,000 specimens. Data from all of these specimens have been captured into an electronic relational database, including all plants from Pennsylvania, type material, and all collections made by current staff. See the collection online.
For those who cannot study specimens onsite, please visit the Visits & Loans page for information about the herbarium's loan policy.
In 1941 Carnegie Museum of Natural History Director Andrey Avinoff began an ambitious project with friend and Curator of Botany Otto E. Jennings. They wanted to describe and illustrate the flora of western Pennsylvania, based on Jennings' lifelong study of the region. Jennings and his colleagues brought in the living plants, fresh and unwithered. Avinoff worked quickly to capture accurately the color and manner of growth. Most of these specimens were then dried, pressed, and placed as vouchers in the herbarium. Selected Avinoff reprints are available for purchase ($25). Call 412.622.3253.
The Library of Carnegie Museum of Natural History is dispersed across a main library unit and individual section libraries. General and multidisciplinary works are housed in the main library. The Botany Library is a satellite of the Museum Library and contains approximately 15,000 volumes, 125 periodical titles, and 25,000 reprints sorted taxonomically and floristically. Please visit the Museum Library site for information on accessing Botany titles.
Titles in the Museum Library may not be loaned, and must be used onsite. For titles that are available for distribution, please consult the Reprints page.
We have approximately 35,000 slides donated mainly by Virginia Phelps, Wayne Harpster, Otto Jennings, and Werner Buker, all patrons of botany. These slides are available for study and may be loaned for short periods. Call 412.622.3253 to make an appointment.

Right now we should be at the beach, but we're not. Two weeks from now we should be in Philly, but we won't be. In September we should be in St. Lucia, but we won't be. Instead on Tuesday we will be at your viewing. Wednesday we will lay you to rest, and once again, life will never be the same. There will be no more "losing track of time", "Scotty wanted to go there", the Chinese phone calls, or picking up a new cooler at the Meadowlands…..and it hurts….it hurts bad….First Mike, now you. What's next? I can't believe this is happening…again. Someday this will all make sense, but for now I just don't get it. You said at your surprise 40th party that you wouldn't make it to 50..Who knew? Trish, Jared, and Josh are going to be fine. It won't be easy, but they have loads of friends and family that will get them through this. They know that you loved them and that you are a hero to us all. May you and Mike keep watch over everyone from heaven and keep us safe. We all miss you. Until we meet again, God bless you my friend and may you rest in peace…

I know it is always tough to deal with the pain when we lose that special person but I found this poem and wanted it to share it with you all. It is not mine but this sounds like brother Wertz from what I have read:
The badge shines bright
On the shirt of blue.
It takes a strong soul to wear it
A heart that's proud and true.
He says good night to his family
before he walks out the door.
He must go watch the streets,
Yet he does so much more.
In his car, when the call comes,
The lights are flashing blue and red.
He would never hurt his children,
He can't believe what was just said.
With his partner awaiting,
He has to be there, he must answer the call!
The wife is frantic,
"Put the gun down," but the man won't withdraw.
Shots are fired, his partner is hit in the arm,
One more flash is seen, someone must fall.
His partner is there, and so is the man,
and on the ground He lies, giving his all.
He says goodbye to his family,
With the pain in his chest.
The lights are flashing, blue and red,
As he begins his final rest.
Leaving a wife and two children,
Is the hardest thing He would ever do,
How will they live,
What are they going to go through?
Will His children grow old,
will His wife move on?
Will they know how much He loved them,
Now that He is gone?
He was only doing His job,
Trying to help who He could.
It was never known hard it was to be a Cop,
But now His family understood.
On three cheeks, three tears shine bright,
Like rain from a cloud,
It takes three strong souls to shed them,
Saying goodbye from hearts that will always be proud.
Good Speed, Until We Meet Again!

I have a created a file selection list using an ubumenu (with auto-populate). Does anyone one know an easy method to add 'None' to the list at '0' (top of the list) WITH the list of files?
This would be simple if auto-populate did not automatically clear the list first. The folder object (when populating an umenu object) also clears the list.
Any ideas ?
At this time, at least with ubumenu, it's either autopopulate mode or
do-it-yourself mode — you can't easily add items to the autopopulated menu.
However, I can see how an "insert" message to ubumenu would be useful.
There isn't one right now, though.

It's time to finish off our 2012 spring game recaps with a review of Michigan State's Green and White Game from Saturday.
You can find coverage of the scrimmage here, here, here and here
Stars of the game: Defensive ends Marcus Rush and William Gholston. Rush had 2.5 sacks and three tackles for loss, while Gholston had a safety and a pass break-up while spending much of the day in the offensive backfield.
How it went down: There was little doubt going into this game that defense would rule the day, as the Spartans return the bulk of a top 10 defense from last year and their offense, still finding its legs in the passing game, missed some key contributors. And so it was, as the White team -- featuring six returning defensive starters -- beat the Green team 14-2. The Green team's only score was that Gholston safety.
"I think we played pretty well, as you can tell by the score," linebacker Denicos Allen said. "We are still developing into a really great defense, and I think we can be better than last year's unit. We have more experience this year but are still young and have to continue to develop."
Connor Cook had to play quarterback for both teams because projected starter Andrew Maxwell is out with a knee injury. Cook completed 20-of-45 passes for 294 yards and threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Andre Sims Jr. with seven seconds left in the first half.
"He grew enormously, I think, in terms of playing in this type of environment, having to play every play also with the TV type situation," head coach Mark Dantonio said. "I think he was very calm in the huddle and did some good things."
The tailbacks were also limited, as Le'Veon Bell played just one series and Larry Caper came out quickly after suffering a minor injury. Nick Hill came through with 19 carries for 95 yards and a TD, but the running was tough going for the most part. Counting sacks, the Green team produced minus-10 yards rushing for the day, and both teams combined for just 59 yards on 38 carries.
You can thank a dominating defense for that. The Spartans got a scare when Gholston was slow to get up after Hill's touchdown and limped off the field, but he was reported to have only a bruised knee. The defensive line looked really impressive.
"I think we have four or five really good defensive ends," Dantonio said. "Shilique Calhoun was a factor today. Obviously, William Gholston and Marcus Rush are very good. I thought Joel Heath did some good things as well."
One of the offensive highlights was provided by a defensive player, as cornerback Johnny Adams switched sides and caught a 45-yard pass.
"He's got big-play ability," Dantonio said. "He's a guy maybe we can flip around a bit. We'll see how that transpires when we get everyone here."

Recording of 180 mp3 files with French words/phrases (300 words altogether)
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
Project Description
We need one or several native French speaker(s) to record 180 separate wav-audio files containing spoken French words and short phrases.
The total number of words (distributed in these 180 files) is only about 300. The number of files is independent on the number of voices you provide. If you provide more than one voice, we will distribute the samples on the different voices.
- We only accept native French speakers without any accents or slang.
- Please provide an audio sample of the first five rows in the attached xls sheet (you can do it in a single wav-file with short breaks between the words/phrases).
- We will pay more if you can provide two or three different French voices (simply mention it in your bid and bid higher).
- The text samples have to be spoken slowly and clearly.
- Of course, the records have to be of high quality without any background noise or static.
- We have a 10x larger job coming up that we will give to you if we are satisfied with your performance.
See the attached xls sheet for the exact details.
The xls sheet contains two columns:
1) the filename for the wav file
2) the text that is to be spoken/recorded.
In case you can provide more than one French voice, we will provide you with exact information on which samples we want in what voice.

Human experts as autonomous agents in a referral network must decide whether to accept a task or refer to a more appropriate expert, and if so to whom. In order for the referral network to improve over time, the experts must learn to estimate the topical expertise of other experts. This thesis extends concepts from Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning and Active Learning to referral networks.
Among a wide array of algorithms evaluated, Distributed Interval Estimation Learning (DIEL), based on Interval Estimation Learning, was found to be promising for learning appropriate referral choices, compared to Greedy, Q-learning, and UCB methods. DIEL's rapid performance gain in the early phase of learning makes it a practically viable algorithm, including when multiple referral hops are allowed. In addition to a synthetic data set, we compare the performance of several top-performing referral algorithms on a referral network of high-performance Stochastic Local Search (SLS) SAT solvers and demonstrate that the referral learning algorithms can learn appropriate referral choices in the real task of solving satisfiability problems where expertise do not obey any known parameterized distribution. Apart from evaluating overall network performance, we conduct a robustness analysis across the learning algorithms, with an emphasis on capacity constraints, evolving networks (i.e. with known experts dropping off and new experts of unknown performance entering), and expertise drift --- situations that often arise in real-world scenarios but largely ignored in the Active Learning literature.
In an augmented learning setting, where experts may report their top skills to their colleagues, we proposed three algorithms, proactive-DIEL, proactive-Q-Learning, and proactive-ε-Greedy. All algorithms exhibited robustness to noisy self-skill estimates and were resilient to evolving networks and strategic misreporting.

Copy of Thesis Summary
Planning is a problem in Computer Science with many applications. It can be used to automate robotic tasks or beat players in games, for example. However, it has been very difficult coming up with programs that can approximately plan well. Here, we tackle the problem using a different route. We want to see whether we can improve our ability to approximately plan by using quantum mechanics to model classical systems.
The idea of planning using quantum systems may have some merit. Quantum systems make different assumptions than classical systems so to plan in a quantum system, we have to make a new model. By making a new model and planning on it, we increase the scope of problems we can plan on. Also, there is hope that planning in new quantum models might be simpler than in the classical models, especially when we use a compact basis to plan approximately.
We formulate a new quantum model for planning, give some planning algorithms, and show some experimental results, assuming only elementary knowledge in linear algebra. To formulate a new quantum model and planning, we review discrete quantum mechanics to get an understanding about how quantum systems work. Then, we derive the QuaMDP planning model and show one way to plan in it. We also show one way to generate QuaMDP models from a dynamical system, given its potential energy function. Then, we test how well our algorithms can approximately plan on this new model to find inherent weaknesses and strengths.

Programmers, like pen-and-paper mathematicians, often seek to define new syntactic sugar that lowers the syntactic cost of common idioms. Unfortunately, the most direct mechanisms of syntactic control available to programmers do not support modular reasoning about determinism (i.e. separately defined forms can conflict syntactically with one another), and they obscure the type and binding structure of the program. We argue therefore that these mechanisms are unreasonable for programming "in the large". Typed term-rewriting macro systems (e.g. as available in Scala) are more reasonable, but afford programmers limited syntactic control.
This thesis formally describes typed syntax macros (TSMs), which give library providers programmatic control over both the parsing and expansion of expressions and patterns of generalized literal form at a specified type or parameterized family of types. Expansion is strictly hygienic, meaning that 1) expansions can refer to external bindings only via spliced terms or supplied module parameters; and 2) expansions do not reveal internal bindings to spliced terms or to the remainder of the program. We argue that this mechanism occupies a "sweet spot" in the design space, in that it captures many common syntactic idioms while avoiding the problem of syntactic conflicts by construction and supplying clients with clear abstract reasoning principles.

I will explain the cheat sheet technique in query complexity, and show how to use it to get a power 2.5 separation between classical and quantum computation (beating the quadratic speedup of Grover search). I'll then discuss the connections between query and communication complexity, and present recent applications of the cheat sheet technique in the communication complexity setting.

The spectra of signed matrices have played a fundamental role in social sciences, graph theory and control theory. They have been key to understanding balance in social networks, to counting perfect matchings in bipartite graphs, and to analyzing robust stability of dynamic systems involving uncertainties. More recently, the results of Marcus et al. have shown that an efficient algorithm to find a signing of a given adjacency matrix that minimizes the largest eigenvalue could immediately lead to efficient construction of Ramanujan expanders.
Motivated by these applications, this talk investigates natural spectral properties of signed matrices and address the computational problems of identifying signings with these spectral properties. There are three main results we will talk about: (a) NP-completeness of three signing related problems with (negative) implications to efficiently constructing expander graphs, (b) a complete characterization of graphs that have all their signed adjacency matrices be singular, which implies a polynomial-time algorithm to verify whether a given matrix has a signing that is invertible, and (c) a polynomial-time algorithm to find a minimum increase in support of a given symmetric matrix so that it has an invertible signing.
About the Speaker
Mechanized reasoning has proved effective in avoiding serious mistakes in software and hardware, and yet remains unpopular in the practice of mathematics. My thesis is aimed at making mechanization easier so that more mathematicians can benefit from this technology. Particularly, I experimented with higher-dimensional types, an extension of ordinary types with a hierarchy of stacked relations, and managed to mechanize many important results from classical homotopy theory in the proof assistant Agda. My work thus suggests higher-dimensional types may help mechanize mathematical concepts.

In this talk, we consider the problem of estimating the mean and covariance of a distribution from iid samples in R^n, in the presence of an eta fraction of malicious noise; this is in contrast to much recent work where the noise itself is assumed to be from a distribution of known type. We will give polynomial-time algorithms to compute estimates for the mean, covariance and operator norm of the covariance matrix, and show that the dimensional dependence of the error is optimal up to a O(\sqrt{\log n}) factor. This gives polynomial-time solutions to some of the questions studied in robust statistics. As one of the applications, this immediately enables one to do agnostic SVD.
This is a joint work with Kevin Lai and Santosh Vempala.
Due to the rapid growth of data and the ever increasing model complexity, which often manifests itself in the large number of model parameters, today, many important machine learning problems cannot be efficiently solved by a single machine. Distributed optimization and inference is becoming more and more inevitable for solving large scale machine learning problems in both academia and industry. However, obtaining an efficient distributed implementation of an algorithm, is far from trivial. Both intensive computational workloads and the volume of data communication demand careful design of distributed computation systems and distributed machine learning algorithms. In this thesis, we focus on the co-design of distributed computing systems and distributed optimization algorithms that are specialized for large machine learning problems.

In the first part, we propose two distributed computing frameworks: Parameter Server, a distributed machine learning framework that features efficient data communication between the machines; MXNet, a multi-language library that aims to simplify the development of deep neural network algorithms. We have witnessed the wide adoption of the two proposed systems in the past two years. They have nabled and will continue to enable more people to harness the power of distributed computing to design efficient large-scale machine learning applications.

In the second part, we examine a number of distributed optimization problems in machine learning, leveraging the two computing platforms. We present new methods to accelerate the training process, such as data partitioning with better locality properties, communication friendly optimization methods, and more compact statistical models. We implement the new algorithms on the two systems and test on large scale real data sets. We successfully demonstrate that careful co-design of computing systems and learning algorithms can greatly accelerate large scale distributed machine learning.

The Amazing Spider-Man: An Origin Story
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Amazing Spider-Man: An Origin Story is a retelling of the well-known tale of how Peter Parker becomes Spider-Man, written to be more of a picture book format than a comic book. It does look like it is intended for younger children than the typical comic book, but the book does include the death of Uncle Ben. There is also some bullying at Peter's school, and Spider-Man punches a robber. The book portion of the app is easy to use, and the mini-games all have simple controls suitable for young players.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
Is it any good?
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: AN ORIGIN STORY takes the familiar tale of Peter Parker and turns it into a picture book with interactivity. The artwork is well done and really looks like a kids' picture book rather than a comic book, and the text is simplified to be more suitable for younger readers. However, because the origin story still involves the shooting death of Uncle Ben (described, but not pictured), younger children may still find it too scary. And, of course, even though Spider-Man is a hero, he still resolves things through punching and fighting. However, the book, like the comic, stresses the famous tagline: "With great power comes great responsibility."
The book does include various simple interactive elements, as well as some simple mini-games that relate to the story. However, perhaps the most significant element of the book is that the narration is read by Stan Lee himself, creator of Spider-Man. His reading of the book is enthusiastic and charming, and parents who are fond of Spider-Man may really enjoy listening along with their kids.
