BFG replied to ShawnMGS's topic in Math and PhysicsI remember facing this problem. If I recall correctly it boils down to finding the inverse of a function of the form f(x) = a*x + b*cos(c*x) for which I believe there is no analytic solution. If you find one though let me know! Without an analytic solution you have a couple of options. Probably the best option is to formulate some approximation. A simple option though is to just displace a mesh on the CPU around where you need to sample heights and use that (e.g., if you need the heights for a boat, create a "collision mesh" around the boat extending beyond the boat boundary by the maximum horizontal wave displacement).
BFG replied to ramirofages's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingLooks like a gamma problem, e.g., your algorithm expects linear pixel data and you are using non-linear sRGB pixel data.

BFG replied to mike44's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingYou might have better luck using the VS solutions in the curl-XXX/projects/Windows/ directory and compiling for the static LIB configurations. The last time I did this was a few years ago so maybe things have changed. Anyway I compiled with Windows Secure Channel for SSL (see https://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-compared.html) and add the following to Preprocessor Definitions: USE_SCHANNEL USE_WINDOWS_SSPI HTTP_ONLY This worked and added only 100K or so to the executable size. Using OpenSSL also worked but add a megabyte. Good luck!
BFG replied to CirdanValen's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThat's certainly a bug but I wouldn't say it's the main problem. It wouldn't cause the discontinuities OP was getting. Check out what happens when you do (1) floorf, (2) the "improved" second FAST_FLOOR macro above, and (3) the "original" first FAST_FLOOR macro above on the following arguments respectively: #define FAST_FLOOR_ORIGINAL(x) ((x>0) ? (int)x : ((int)x-1)) #define FAST_FLOOR_IMPROVED(x) (((x)>0) ? ((int)(x)) : (((int)(x))-1)) // but still incorrect for floating point values that are exactly nonpositive integers for (float x = -1.5f; x < 2.f; x += 0.1f) { const int a = floorf(x + 1.2f); const int b = FAST_FLOOR_IMPROVED(x + 1.2f); const int c = FAST_FLOOR_ORIGINAL(x + 1.2f); fprintf(fp, "(%f + 1.2f): %d %d %d\n", x, a, b, c); } (-1.500000 + 1.2f): -1 -1 0 (-1.400000 + 1.2f): -1 -1 0 (-1.300000 + 1.2f): -1 -1 0 (-1.200000 + 1.2f): 0 0 0 (-1.100000 + 1.2f): 0 0 0 (-1.000000 + 1.2f): 0 0 1 (-0.900000 + 1.2f): 0 0 1 (-0.800000 + 1.2f): 0 0 1 (-0.700000 + 1.2f): 0 0 1 (-0.600000 + 1.2f): 0 0 1 (-0.500000 + 1.2f): 0 0 1 (-0.400000 + 1.2f): 0 0 1 (-0.300000 + 1.2f): 0 0 1 (-0.200000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (-0.100000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.000000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.100000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.200000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.300000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.400000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.500000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.600000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.700000 + 1.2f): 1 1 1 (0.800000 + 1.2f): 2 2 1 (0.900000 + 1.2f): 2 2 1 (1.000000 + 1.2f): 2 2 2 (1.100000 + 1.2f): 2 2 2 (1.200000 + 1.2f): 2 2 2 (1.300000 + 1.2f): 2 2 2 (1.400000 + 1.2f): 2 2 2 (1.500000 + 1.2f): 2 2 2 (1.600000 + 1.2f): 2 2 2 (1.700000 + 1.2f): 2 2 2 (1.800000 + 1.2f): 3 3 2 (1.900000 + 1.2f): 3 3 2

BFG replied to Norman Barrows's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI did it. It's not hard but can take a lot more time than you might think. Consider all the changes and how they might impact your project: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb205073(v=vs.85).aspx. I would never do it near the end of a project...because then I would no longer be near the end of the project.
BFG replied to Tristan Patrick Richter's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingYou will probably create more problems than you solve by making a heightmap be an actor. It's likely to be a special case in every scenario (collision, rendering, etc.).
BFG replied to PhillipHamlyn's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingNote that "nointerpolation" uses the value from the first vertex of a primitive. If that doesn't work for you, then the "normal" approach is to duplicate vertices.
BFG replied to DvDmanDT's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingSounds like you're mapping straight to noise. Noise by itself is boring and repetitive especially at low frequencies. The trick is to build a sufficiently complex (and interesting) function using various transformations and combinations of noise, e.g., http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGems3/gpugems3_ch01.html.
BFG replied to DvDmanDT's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingYou can "seed" Perlin/Simplex noise by shuffling the permutation table using a PRNG with a given seed. It's immutable after that. For speed look at SIMD implementations. Not sure I understood your input requirements. Sounds like the appropriate hash of your input would do what you want.

Ratings for Dr. M.L. Baxter
I respect her and her stuff, but i have to admit that she has no knowledge about the kinds of skin that people have, and i think they just try to make you do any treatment in the clinic if your skin okay.
Initially, Dr Baxter was reasonable with her diagnosis (she agreed with my assessment) and did work on my condition...but not to completion. Some of her practices were questionable, leading to permanent and unnecessary scarring. Unfortunately, in this area of the country we are extremely limited in choice. For some, she may provide a great service: the clinic she works in provides patient total pay for cosmetic service procedures, but my preference is to never allow her to work on my condition again.
amazing doctor i find her to be easy to talk to, she is kind and very compassionate
I know this review will go against the grain, but I am thoroughly unimpressed with this doctor. My daughter was referred to her for acne, and she barely even looked at her. She prescribed a medication, and when I went to have the prescription filled, the pharmacist called her to question if it was appropriate. She was told it was. My daughter used it according to the doctors instructions, and she ended up with a very painful bleeding rash on her face. I ended up taking her to the ER, and when the doctor saw her, her treated her and was completely unimpressed that a dermatologist had given her the medication, as it has burned her skin. He recommended we throw it away and report what had happened o our pharmacist, which we did. It turns out that she had prescribed the strongest type of this medicated lotion and told her to leave it on all night, which should never happen.
I have been seeing Dr. Baxter for years. She is an absolute gem, with an excellent bedside manner. She is extremely knowledgeable, doesn't rush you and always takes the time to answer any questions or concerns you have.
Been seeing her for over a year now and I love her and her work
DR.Baxter, is an excellent Doctor.She is very knowledgeable, and very personable.I have been going to her for many years and she always provides me with excellent care.I have seen other dermatologists in the past but Dr Baxter is the only one I see now as she is an expert in her field in my opinion.I feel Dr Baxter is very competent and would trust her with my life.You would not be disappointed with her I assure you.
I found her to be compassionate, knowledgable, and efficient. I would highly recommend this doctor!
I've been seeing Dr Baxter on and off in Dartmouth for about three years and I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience with her. She's been extremely helpful with various conditions that have arisen, some of which could have been quite embarrassing if she had not treated me correctly and promptly. She is kind and personable, but is also knowledgeable and very competent in her field. Never going anywhere else!
Dr. Baxter is the best Dermatologist I've seen - and I've been to quite a few over the years. She's knowledgeable and compassionate - takes time to listen to my concerns and offers resolutions to them. She's helped cure a condition that I've been struggling with for over 20 years. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Baxter - her staff is very friendly and accomodating as well.

The Ghost of Fall River Road
- Rocky Mountain Conservancy
- August 13, 2017
- Location: 1895 Fall River Road, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, CO
- Phone: (970) 586-3262
- Time: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Price: $80 per adult
You've driven Fall River Road from Endovalley to the Alpine Visitor Center…but did you know the west side of the old route still lies like a phantom between Trail Ridge and Grand Lake? Fall River Road opened in 1920, Rocky's first through-highway across the Continental Divide. Eclipsed by Trail Ridge Road, it was closed and partly obliterated in the 1930s. After 50 years, Fall River Road was re-opened to traffic, but only on the east side. Come learn the secret history of Fall River Road and discover its ghosts. Retrace the road, from Horseshoe Park to Milner Pass. Learn about the Convict Cabins, compare historical photos with the landscape today and discover what happened to this landmark road on the west side. We'll drive the current road to AVC, then walk the old west-side route, largely erased by the Park Service but vestiges are still visible if you know where to look. (RMC van will pick up the group at Milner Pass for return to Field Institute)

The Associated Press
Stocks logged their best day in three months as investors rushed into the market on word the economy grew faster than expected.
Investors returned to the market after a four-day slide, pushing up the Dow Jones industrial average 199.89 points, or 2.1%, to 9,962.58. The Dow at times was above 200 points, its best day since mid-July.
The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 23.48, or 2.3%, to 1,066.11, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 37.94, or 1.8%, to 2,097.55.
EARNINGS: Improving, but doubt remains
The Commerce Department's report that gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 3.5% in the third quarter reinvigorated investors who had dumped stocks in recent days on signs of a weakness in the housing market and a disappointing report on consumer confidence.
The strong GDP report weakened demand for safe-havens like Treasurys, and a drop in the dollar pushed commodity prices higher, helping to lift materials and energy stocks.
The economic growth came in ahead of the 3.3% rise forecast by economists polled by Thomson Reuters. The expansion in GDP was the best in two years and broke four consecutive quarters of declines. Coming on the 80th anniversary of the stock market crash that triggered the Great Depression, it was the best indication yet that the longest recession since then has ended.
Many analysts believe it may be hard to keep GDP growing, however. The economy was bolstered during the third quarter by government stimulus programs including the popular Cash for Clunkers auto rebates and tax credits for first-time home buyers. Once the government's stimulus measures run their course, analysts are worried the economic rebound might not be sustainable considering problems such as high unemployment and weak consumer spending persist.
"The question is will it get back on its own sound footing or will it continue to hobble," said Wyatt Crumpler, vice president of asset management at American Beacon Advisor in Fort Worth. "We're a bit pessimistic in the short-term."
Crumpler predicts the economy will struggle as consumers try to pay down debt and as credit for small businesses remains tight.
Bond prices fell, pushing their yields higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.50% from 3.42% late Wednesday. Bonds extended their early losses after a lackluster auction of seven-year notes.
The ICE Futures US dollar index, which measures the dollar against other major currencies, fell after five straight days of gains. The weaker dollar made commodities more attractive for foreign buyers. Gold rose about $14 to $1,044 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while crude oil rose $1.98 to $79.44 a barrel.
Mitch Schlesinger, a managing partner at FBB Capital Partners in Bethesda, Md., said that because of government support, fourth-quarter GDP should provide a better picture of how much the economy has recovered.
"Some of the artificial goosing of the numbers will come out and we'll get a better picture," Schlesinger said. He added that the economy is likely to grow in the fourth quarter, but probably not at as fast a pace as the third quarter.
In the interim, however, investors will welcome the better-than-expected third quarter report, he said.
Other economic news was mixed. The number of people claiming jobless benefits for the first time dropped less than expected last week. The Labor Department said workers filing first-time claims for unemployment dipped 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 530,000 last week. Economists expected a larger decline to 521,000.
However, the number of people receiving unemployment benefits on an ongoing basis dropped sharply by 148,000 to 5.8 million, below economists' expectations.
Investors were also watching testimony by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to the House Financial Services Committee. Geithner told lawmakers the government isn't looking to bail out struggling financial companies, and said legislation being considered by the committee would ensure that firms of any size could fail without risking a collapse of the financial markets.
In earnings news, Procter & Gamble reported better-than-expected first-quarter results and raised its outlook after a year of consumers curbing their spending and switching to cheaper brands. Shares of the Cincinnati-based company, which makes Tide and Pampers, jumped.
Motorola shares climbed more than 11% after the cellphone maker posted its second straight quarterly profit following months of heavy losses.
Gold producer Newmont Mining said its profit more than doubled in the third quarter, benefiting from the sharp increase in gold prices this year.
ExxonMobil said its third-quarter profit dropped 68% from a year ago, when crude prices spiked above $147 a barrel. However, the results were the best of the year so far for the world's largest publicly traded oil company, which said oil production is bouncing back along with crude prices.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 1.8%. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 1.1%, Germany's DAX index rose 1.4% and France's CAC-40 gained 1.3%.

1. Pension provision:
As graduates leave university with mounting debts, few will give much thought to contributing to a pension scheme. In fact, the bad press surrounding falling values of pension funds and the ludicrous hikes in the property market may make you feel that a mortgage, rather than a secure old age, is your priority.
However, the schemes offered by BP and Shell are exceptional. All graduates on permanent contracts are eligible to join their non-contributory, final salary pension schemes. And get this - you don't need to pay these pension funds, which will pay you a percentage of your final salary when you leave the company for every year you've worked for the firm.
Will final salary pension schemes still exist when you hit 70? Only time will tell. But if they do, it'll be a perk worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
2. Joining bonuses:
An unsophisticated approach but one that's still wowing cash-strapped students up and down the country. According to the latest survey published by the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR), 25% of its members now offer a signing-on bonus or 'golden hello'. Payments range from £500 to £11,000 with a median payment of £1,500 and you're most likely to get one from the financial and legal sectors.
More than one in four (29%) of those that offered joining payments pledged £1,000. Many recruiters see such a provision as altruistic: a way to help with your deposit on rented accommodation - particularly when you are relocating, to help you buy appropriate work clothes or help you pay off some of your graduate debt.
Accenture continues to offer the mother of all joining bonuses - £10,000 in two instalments: £6,000 when you sign up and the balance if you stay the course over two years - to all of the 400 graduates taken on this year.
3. Sponsorship for further training:
Some of us leave university with the intention of never taking another examination again. But there are undoubtedly big long-term prizes for those prepared to put in the work and study for further professional qualifications. Your employer is effectively paying for you to become more employable.
For those who impress the recruiters, one of the most common perks for wannabe solicitors is sponsorship through law school, which can include the fees for a year's Common Professional Examination (CPE) for non-law graduates, a year's Legal Practice Course (LPC) for all graduates and appropriate living expenses. It's a perk worth up to £30,000 - and that's before you even walk through the door and start earning fees for your firm as a trainee solicitor.
But beware: if you decide later on that law's not for you, you could find you have to have to pay some or all of this sum back to buy your way out of your contract. Similarly, most accountancy firms will pay for their graduate intake to achieve their chartered accountant status. The company will pay for tuition and examination fees and grant you study leave during this three year programme, which you are expected to combine with full-time work.
The perk's worth around £20,000, but can be costly to those who fail any of the nine exams. You could find you're using your holiday for study leave, you're paying for your own resits and revision courses - or you could simply lose your job.
Most blue chips employers encourage staff to take qualifications relevant to their role in, say, marketing or human resources. But those who last the distance in a top-flight management consultancy might be eligible for sponsorship through an MBA. Evening classes and one-year programmes are on offer and could be worthwhile courses. But high-flyers might find that within two yeas of joining McKinsey or the Boston Consulting Group, for example, their firm is prepared to sponsor them through a stellar MBA programme at say, Harvard, Stanford or Wharton. Cost of this perk? Up to £100,000 over two years.
4. Company car:
One moment you are walking to lectures and coveting a bus pass. The next you are driving an Audi A4 (as an area manager for food retailer Aldi), or a Mini Cooper branded in corporate colours (as a property negotiator with estate agent Foxtons).
Many blue chip sales and marketing roles entitle you to a company car - and your job would be difficult without one. It's a perk that offers instant one-upmanship, but there's a catch - you may be stung for a truly vast tax bill. In fact, you might be better off opting for a car allowance paid to you monthly like a salary and then buying your own car.
5. Opportunities abroad:
One of the joys of working for an international blue chip is that you could work overseas early in your career as a secondment or as part of your training. Law firm Clifford Chance, for example, says that it's "very likely that you will be able to take up an international seat" - that's one of the four six month placements on its training contract.
Currently, all Clifford Chance's trainees who express an interest in an international secondment get to spend six months abroad. The Foreign Office (obviously), oil firms and some consultancies may similarly stick you on a plane to somewhere exotic - but be aware that your hotel room and the airport lounge may be the only sights you take in.
An obvious early sweetener from firms who recruit internationally is getting all the global graduate intake together to train them for four weeks in, say, Chicago (Accenture) or New York (Morgan Stanley). Many graduates emphasise their desire to travel during the course of the milk round but you may find that by the time an opportunity presents itself you're settled in a house or an a relationship. Suddenly the prospect of six months in Hong Kong isn't so appealing.
6. Free food:
Sometimes it's just the little things that make a difference. And some employers are so keen to have you work every hour that God sends that they offer free in-house catering (they charge it to clients), free on-site gyms (keeps you fit - less sick leave), free neck massages and free eye tests, for example. With a pretty basic gym membership costing around £50 a month and a pretty modest grocery bill costing, say £20 a week, these perks are worth around £1,500 a year.
And this, potentially, on top of private medical insurance: BUPA membership for a healthy no-smoking 23-year-old is around £450 a year. Most retail companies will offer staff discount cards. Some will have clothing allowances. And staff at Mars get free chocolate. Yum.
7. Mentoring:
It's a jungle out there - and sometimes you'll want someone to watch over you. Ask the HR department whether the firm operates a 'buddy' scheme pairing you with, say, someone who joined in the firm year before you. Their role will be to offer you friendly advice on dress codes, placement choices and office etiquette, for example.
Mentoring programmes, through which you get to discuss your progress or concerns with some who isn't a direct line manager, are also helpful and can help you to make key decisions at important stages in your early career.
Although it's yet to recruit its first intake, the TeachFirst programme is marketing itself heavily on the business mentoring service it will be offering to the graduates in two-year placements in challenging schools in inner London. Supported by dozens of top employers, the scheme offers participants support networks, sponsor resources, and accelerated career opportunities at leading organisations on completion of their placements.
8. Unpaid leave:
By law you're entitled to four weeks' paid holiday a year and some employers will offer you more. However, human resources departments are becoming increasingly open to staff sabbaticals - allowing members of the firm to take unpaid leave to travel or pursue a pet project for a few months. As a recent government survey demonstrated, many of us appreciate the opportunity for flexible working more than a pay rise and offering this opportunity can help companies to retain talent.
The BBC's attachments scheme takes some beating. Employees have the opportunity to work in their ideal job outside the corporation for six months as part of an initiative to bring new ideas back to the broadcaster. Staff can propose their own sabbaticals and continue to receive their BBC salary: they simply have to convince the BBC their suggestion is beneficial.

Running requires a lot of breathing, of course, and since I couldn't do that essential activity very well, it became a massive struggle. I spent a lot of time stopped on the side of the road or on the trail, bent over, grabbing my knees, wondering if my heart was going to leap out of my throat onto the ground in front of me. I found the mental image of my heart lying next to me darkly humorous.
I looked — and felt — like a poser. I was just pretending to be a runner. I was once a runner -- but not anymore. I wondered if I would ever be able to run again. All I could do now was jog at a ridiculously slow pace for a few minutes, then gasp for breath on the side of the trail. When another runner passed me walking or crawling along the ground pathetically, I wanted to scream "I WAS A RUNNER ONCE, TOO!"
For whatever reason, one morning during this dark phase I decided I'd run for forty minutes — previously an easy amount. Twenty out, twenty back. Four miles. Give or take. Easy. No pressure. Done it a million times. It was a warm, overcast day, and the heat was thick. The mosquitoes were terrible too, but they had long since learned that my blood tasted bad, so they left me alone. Two minutes into the run, I was in trouble. My chest hurt, I was breathing heavily. So I slowed down. It felt like someone had put a very large stone on my chest. I slowed down some more. The entire right side of my chest burned and stung. It felt like I was sucking in volcanic air. No, this time I'm not stopping, I told myself. Work through it, run through it, stay tough, you have to be willing to suffer some. Runners suffer for their sport, you can do this, be tough. No amount of self talk would change matters. I stumbled to a stop and knelt on one knee, the other planted in the dirt. I coughed and drops of crimson congealed into a black puddle in the dirt of my trail next to my left knee. The coughing released the pressure in my chest; I felt better.
A runner passed me and I saw the sympathy on his face. I think he thought I was probably throwing up from exertion or from the heat, and I could tell he didn't know whether he should stop and try to help me somehow, but I waved him on. Sure I'm ok, I thought. Just a little blood. No big deal.
Cancer had brought me literally to my knees.
I had to crawl part of the way back to my car and it was a good half an hour sitting in it with the air conditioning blasting before I was able to go home.
Afraid my doctor might finally put an end to this running game I was playing, that he might implicate running as the culprit, I didn't go to the emergency room and I never mentioned that I coughed up a very large amount of blood on the trail.
I now had to make a decision. Treatment was clearly working; I was in remission. But never before in my life had I felt like giving up more. What was the point of recovering from Hodgkin's Disease if I couldn't run anymore? If I was going to always get winded walking up my stairs? Did I even care anymore? It was 2 A.M. and the Titanic was going down very, very fast. Only one time in this whole horrible journey had I felt like giving up this much, and that was the day after the first treatment when I was so sick to my stomach I could not even crawl out of my bed. That time, I had placed my faith in my doctors and they made sure it never happened again. I decided that I would put my faith in them again, that I would take them at their word that this would probably improve. I was going to make a stand, I was not going off quietly into the night. Dr. Hodgkin's, your disease picked on the wrong person.
Part of my bargain with myself to keep going with chemo was to keep trying to run. If I couldn't run continuously, fine. I would swallow my pride and run like a beginner. I refused to give up. The next day, stubborn as always, I was back out again on my trail, jogging a few yards, walking a few, jogging, walking, jogging. Although I had some pretty poor runs after that, I never coughed up blood again. Soon after that incident, my lungs started to heal from the Bleo assault, and I was able to start really running again. My pace gradually improved. The number of chemo treatments dwindled into the single digits. Then I could count them on one hand.

Risk to London from rising seas 'worse than feared'
London and the East of England will by the end of the century be at a significantly higher risk of flooding than had been expected, according to projections by climate scientists.
A European project has predicted an average global sea-level rise of up to 69cm, with a 5 per cent chance of a rise of nearly a metre on British shorelines. In the worst case, the Thames barrier, which shields London from storm surges, would be breached every 12 years.
David Vaughan, of the British Antarctic Survey, who is co-ordinating the programme, said that the findings added weight to a plan to upgrade the Thames barrier.
The project also gave the first detailed global mapping of estimated sea-level rises, revealing that Britain was likely to…

I'm sincerely flabbergasted to hear a librarian (or any information professional) complain that there is "too much data" or "too many RSS feeds."
"Web 2.0" doesn't cause an information glut. What causes an information glut is being an information glutton, taking on more than anyone can reasonably manage. There aren't too many RSS feeds. Rather, there are users who subscribe to too many RSS feeds. The solution isn't for less data to exist, the solution is smarter, more selective use of the data. The tools that help us filter and manage the information that we care most about are continuing to improve in power and sophistication.

UF takes care of business at LSU
Published: Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 3:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 3:12 p.m.
BATON ROUGE, La. — After dominating the first half, Florida faced some anxious moments in the final 10 minutes Sunday afternoon at LSU.
Three questions
1. How will Florida play without senior forward Chandler Parsons in the starting lineup?
The Gators went to a more athletic lineup, starting 6-foot-6 freshman Casey Prather. The Gators pressed early to try to set tempo. Freshman Scottie Wilbekin played more minutes late as Florida went to a three-guard lineup in the closing minutes. Even without Parsons, Florida was able to do a good job on the boards. The Gators outrebounded LSU 41-29, grabbing 17 offensive rebounds.
2. Can Florida get offensive production in the post from seniors Vernon Macklin and Alex Tyus?
Macklin had a big day inside, scoring 12 of his 16 points in the first half. For Tyus, it was a more of a struggle offensively. Tyus had 6 points, but finished with a team-high 9 rebounds. Tyus left more points out there by missing two front-ends of one-and-one free-throw attempts.
3. Can Florida cut down on its turnovers after committing 10 turnovers in the first half in each of its last two games?
Florida was fairly efficient in the first half, committing just four first-half turnovers. For the game, Florida finished with 13 turnovers, at about its season average of 12.9 per game.
The Gators couldn't figure out LSU's 2-3 zone. There were some awkward drives to the basket, some missed shots underneath and even a missed dunk from senior Alex Tyus.
But a big defensive play allowed Florida to regroup, and the Gators held on for a 68-61 win over the overmatched Tigers at the half-empty Maravich Assembly Center. Playing without senior forward Chandler Parsons, Florida (21-5, 10-2 Southeastern Conference) improved to 7-1 on the road and reached 10 wins in the SEC for the first time since 2007.
"We're definitely proud of that, but we know we still have a lot more to do," Florida junior point guard Erving Walker said. "We know there's a lot in front of us."
In 2007, Florida went 13-3 in SEC on its way to the second of its back-to-back national titles.
"A lot of times you talk about who was the leading scorer in the game, who was the leading rebounder, who made the game-winning shot and you fail to see a lot of times the growth that some guys have made in terms of their approach," Florida coach Donovan said. "I'm really proud of those guys for the jump that they've made. For me as a coach it's rewarding because you feel like, as a coach, maybe you've gotten to them a little bit to help them see what it's all about."
Walker and guard Kenny Boynton each led Florida with 17 points. Macklin added 16 points, scoring 12 in the first half.
Florida led 40-25 at the half, scoring 28 first half points in the paint. But Florida went scoreless for a near six-minute stretch in the second half, failing to score from the 9:01 mark to the 3:11 mark.
"We missed some shots and our perimeter guys got a little tentative,"Donovan said. "I thought our guys didn't do a great job attacking the zone."
LSU cut Florida's lead to 58-52 on a jumper from freshman Ralston Turner with 4:41 left. After Tyus and Erik Murphy missed front ends of one-and-one free-throw attempts, LSU brought the ball down the floor with a chance to make it a one possession game. But Macklin and Boynton combined to strip LSU point guard Andre Stringer, then Macklin found Boynton for a breakaway layup with 3:11 left to extend Florida's lead to 60-52.
"Vern got the deflection and he made a pass after I took off for the basket," Boynton said. "That was a big play for us."
The Gators closed the game out by making their final eight free-throw attempts. Boynton, Walker and freshman Scottie Wilbekin combined to go 8-for-8 from the line. After starting 6-for-12 from the free-throw line, Florida finished at 70 percent (14-20) above its season average of 66.1 percent.
"Scottie made his two free throws which was big," Donovan said. "Kenny Boynton made a couple. Erving Walker made a few. We did some good things there."
In the first half, Florida could do pretty much what it wanted. With freshman Casey Prather replacing Parsons in the starting lineup, Donovan went to the press early and shuffled players in and out of the game.
The Gators were able to establish Macklin inside early. He made 6 of 9 shots on a variety of soft hooks in the lane.
"I just felt like in the game it was going to be important to go inside and establish Vernon," Donovan said. "I thought we got him some touches. They elected not to double him and they played him head up in the post."
Said Macklin: "I was able to get the ball in good spots on the floor."
Even when Florida missed inside early, there was someone else there to clean it up. The Gators finished with 17 offensive rebounds, outrebounding LSU 41-29 for the game. Florida scored 10 second-chance points in the first half and 16 for the game.
Florida shot 59.4 percent from the floor in the first half, while holding LSU to 34.4 percent shooting in the first 20 minutes.
But after missing some inside buckets early in the second half, Florida's defensive intensity dipped, while LSU gained some momentum. Freshman Ralston Turner scored 16 of his game-high 18 points for LSU (10-17, 2-10) in the second half. The Tigers also hit a flurry of 3-pointers. LSU made 7 of their first 15 3-point attempts before missing their final three 3s late.
"We needed to do a better job going out to defend the 3-point line," Macklin said.
Donovan said he was disappointed that some of Florida's offensive struggles bled into the defense in the second half. But the Gators made enough plays to send LSU to its 10th straight loss.
"Our inability to put the ball in the basket and make some shots and plays in the second half against their zone really fueled a level of confidence for them offensively," Donovan said.

Press Release
Three Hospitals Honored for Commitment to Quality
American Hospital Association-McKesson Quest for Quality Prize Recognizes Hospital Leadership and Innovation in Quality Improvement and Safety
SAN DIEGO (July 14, 2016) – The American Hospital Association (AHA) today announced that Memorial Medical Center, based in Springfield, Ill., has been named as the 2016 recipient of the American Hospital Association-McKesson Quest for Quality Prize®. In addition, two other U.S. hospitals — Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital in Houston and Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, La. — will also be recognized for their leadership and innovation in quality improvement and safety.
Memorial Medical Center, an acute community-based hospital serving central Illinois, was selected by a multi-disciplinary committee of health care quality and patient safety experts based on its exemplary achievements in quality, safety and patient-centered care.
Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital in Houston will be honored as a finalist. Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, La., is slated to receive the Citation of Merit.
The American Hospital Association-McKesson Quest for Quality Prize is presented annually to honor leadership and innovation in quality improvement and safety. The prize is supported by a grant from the McKesson Corporation. This year's recipients will be recognized on July 17 at the Health Forum-AHA Leadership Summit in San Diego.
Criteria for the 2016 award include the demonstration of an organizational commitment to and progress in achieving quality, safety and effective, efficient, timely and patient-centered care. The award honors hospitals that are making progress in quality improvement and offer models that can be replicated by others in the hospital field.
"These hospitals have made remarkable strides in the quality of their patient care and they did so because they were committed to excellence," said Rick Pollack, the AHA's president and CEO. "The entire hospital field can learn from the lessons demonstrated by the hard work of these hospitals, their boards and employees."
"McKesson is proud to support America's outstanding hospitals through the Quest for Quality award," said John Hammergren, chairman and CEO, McKesson Corporation. "These award-winning hospitals' achievements will extend far beyond their own health systems. Thanks to their leadership and innovation, other healthcare organizations can replicate these care and quality processes, improving patient safety and outcomes everywhere."
Prize Winner: Memorial Medical Center – Springfield, Ill.
Memorial Medical Center's board, leadership and employees are engaged and committed to promoting and documenting high-quality, patient-centered care. Their commitment sets the standard for this year's awards. Memorial's state-of-the-art simulation center within the Memorial Center for Learning and Innovation, designed to improve how clinicians are trained to deliver safer, higher quality patient care, is particularly impressive. It also serves as a shared resource for other providers in the area as well as a clinical training ground for the health professions educational programs in the region. The use of this simulation center ultimately helps the area's clinicians collaborate more effectively in the delivery of care.
Finalist: Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital – Houston
Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital has built a pervasive culture of safety that is embraced by an engaged team of leaders and fully supported by committed front-line staff. Their dedication to the hospital and its quality mission makes this an organization to be proud of as it embraces quality improvement and the safety of its patients, their families and the community it serves.
Citation of Merit: Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center – Baton Rouge, La.
In a state and local community forever changed following Hurricane Katrina, Our Lady of the Lake made it a priority to help heal its community through the provision of physical and behavioral health services in clinics, churches and schools. They also embraced the challenge of providing educational programs for residents, interns and other health care providers after the hurricane destroyed the clinical sites in which those trainees were being educated. The hospital is an excellent example of how to remain true to the core mission of delivering high quality, safe care while rapidly expanding services to meet the evolving needs of its community.

Modeling & Simulation
Model TypesAdd to favorites
A model is a representation of the construction and working of some system of interest. A model is similar to but simpler than the system it represents. A simulation (see simulator types) is a method for implementing a model. There are four (4) common types of models that are used. These are: [1,2]
- Physical: A physical model is a model whose physical characteristics resemble the physical characteristics of the system being modeled. A simple example of a physical model is a plastic airplane you played with in grade school. See Prototyping
- Mathematical: A mathematical model is a symbolic model whose properties are expressed in mathematical symbols and relationships. Mathematical models are commonly used to quantify results, solve problems and predict behavior. A simple example of a mathematical model is the equation that represents a straight line: y=mx+b.
- Process: Process models are designed to replicate steps in a process or system. All process models allow users to define their processes, workflows or system dynamics. Other common processes that are modeled are information flow through a system and the manufacturing of parts using an assembly line.
- Combination: The approach of combining models learned from multiple batches of data as opposed to the common practice of learning one model from all the available data (i.e., the data combination approach).

We stayed three nights at The Artist House at the beginning of the Fantasy Fest (Halloween) festivities. The century-old plus house has been well-transformed into a bed and breakfast. There are three rooms each on the first and second floor hallway. The end rooms are quite large; the middle rooms (we stayed in the middle room on second floor, the Morning Room) are smaller, but are still large. Each room has its own bath. The room in which we stayed was reasonably large, well maintained, and clean. The bath was formerly part of a wrap-around porch. There is also a fourth room (Sun Room) on the back of the second floor that we did not see as it has its own exterior staircase.
There is a large room at the back of the first floor that has a kitchen for serving breakfast. A door from the kitchen leads to a large pleasant and shaded patio and a heated spa. The self-serve breakfast is quite good with a variety of selections. There is also a happy hour in the late afternoon.
The location is less than two blocks from Duvall Street. The downside is that street parking is limited. Artist House does have several spaces in a parking lot nearby for $20 per day. We chose this option so as not to worry about towing and/or tickets although we did not move the car while there.
Laura was the primary manager on duty when we were there. She is very pleasant and quite helpful.
Note: There is also an Artist House under the same ownership on Fleming Street.

Propaganda and the 2016 Election Campaign
In his Republic, Plato warns that the greatest threat to liberal democracy will come in the form of a demagogue. This lecture brings one of the central questions of political philosophy to bear on the current U.S. election campaign. We find charges of demagoguery raised against one leading candidate. What exactly is the threat that demagoguery poses to democracy? Is the problem of demagoguery especially threatening this year, or has it been exaggerated? Do all candidates participate in it, or is this year somehow unique? Jason Stanley, who published one of the first editorials about Donald Trump's campaign in The New York Times, will address these questions and others about the role of propaganda in the current U.S. electoral cycle.

Description: In this chronicle of political awakening and queer solidarity, the activist and novelist Sarah Schulman describes her dawning consciousness of the Palestinian liberation struggle. Invited to Israel to give the keynote address at a LGBT studies conference at Tel Aviv University, Schulman declines, joining other artists and academics honoring the Palestinian call for an academic and cultural boycott of Israel. Anti-occupation activists in the United States, Canada, Israel, and Palestine come together to help organize an alternative solidarity visit for the American activist. Schulman takes us to an anarchist, vegan cafe in Tel Aviv, where she meets anti-occupation queer Israelis, and through border checkpoints into the West Bank, where queer Palestinian activists welcome her into their spaces for conversations that will change the course of her life. She describes the dusty roads through the West Bank, where Palestinians are cut off from water and subjected to endless restrictions while Israeli settler neighborhoods have full freedoms and resources.As Schulman learns more, she questions the contradiction between Israel's investment in presenting itself as gay friendly—financially sponsoring gay film festivals and parades—and its denial of the rights of Palestinians. At the same time, she talks with straight Palestinian activists about their position in relation to homosexuality and gay rights in Palestine and internationally. Back in the United States, Schulman draws on her extensive activist experience to organize a speaking tour for some of the Palestinian queer leaders whom she had met and trusted. Dubbed "Al Tour," it takes the activists to LGBT community centers, conferences, and universities throughout the United States. Its success solidifies her commitment to working to end Israel's occupation of Palestine, and kindles her larger hope that a new "queer international" will emerge and join other movements demanding human rights across the globe.

WOW! Director Maruthi Gets A Jaguar For Bhale Bhale Magadivoy Success
Director Maruthi, who is basking in the glow of Bhale Bhale Magadivoy success, has now more to reasons to celebrate. The hardworking director who started off with a small film called E Rojullo, has of late become the most sought-after director in T-town.
Well! That's what one successful film does to people in the film industry. Overwhelmed by the huge success and tremendous margin of profits the film has garnered, one of the producers of the film, Vamsi, has reportedly gifted the director a brand new Jaguar.
Sharing his happiness with his followers, he quoted it as a poor man's achievement. The director recalled how he has started his journey on a second hand bicycle. "I just got new jaguar.....it's a poor persons achievement....my journey starts on a second hand atlas cycle to new jaguar... till nw...," read a tweet from Maruthi's official twitter account.
"Thanks alot who encourages me lot I would like say thanks to my producers u v creation vamsi...bunny vasu and allu arvind garu for their unconditional love on me," he further added.
Though Maruthi was successful right from his directorial debut, he was blamed for always banking on adult comedies to gain success.
Apparently, he managed to gag the critics and trolls by making a U rated, clean comedy entertainer, Bhale Bhale Magadivoy with Nani and he considers this as his real win. The film fetched more than a million in USA, which once appeared an unimaginable task for a small budgeted film.
On the other hand, it is learnt that the director has a series of interesting projects lined up as he has recently signed the dotted line to work with Victory Venkatesh and another under Geeta Arts banner.
Meanwhile, have a look at Maruthi's new jaguar in the slides below.
Maruthi started off his career working for an animation company and Allu Arjun joined Maruthi's team to learn animation, with which Maruthi's contacts in the industry grew. Maruthi designed the party of flag of Megastar Chiranjeevi's Prajarajyam Party and it brought him into the limelight.
U V Creations Vamsi presenting the car keys to director Maruthi Dasari. Vamsi is one of the producers of Bhale Bhale Magadivoy and the project has been handled by both GA 2 and U V Creations.
Executive Producer
Executive producer of the film SKN with Maruthi Dasari and his brand new Jaguar. Maruthi produced films like Ee Rojullo, Romance etc, along with SKN.
Lucky Cycle
Looks like now there is much demand for Maruthi's second hand bicycle. SKN, exceutive producer of the film thinks it's a lucky charm and hence wants to take it from the director.
