UCB EECS CAP Recruiting and Hiring Policies for Employers
In this competitive job market, we recommend the following guidelines to assist employers and to provide students a fair opportunity during the offer phase of the recruiting process for internships and full-time positions. We encourage a professional exchange in a timely manner for both parties following the policies and guidelines set by UC Berkeley Career Center as outlined below. For more details, please visit https://career.berkeley.edu/Employers/EmpPolicy.
For all offers extended for summer internships or full-time employment employers should allow a minimum of two weeks from the date of the written offer, but preferably longer, for students to accept or decline any offer.
The written offer should clearly state all appropriate terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, position title/description, location, benefits, start date, salary, bonuses, etc.
All bonuses or other incentives are to remain in full effect for the entire duration of the offer period.
Students will be encouraged to contact employers directly if they have any questions or concerns about their offers, including needing more time to make their decisions.

I want to find limit of $\displaystyle\int_0^\infty ne^{-nx}\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\;dx$ as $n\to\infty$ if it exists or to prove that it doesn't exist. I see that $ne^{-nx}\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\to 0$ for all $x>0$ and that the convergence is uniform on $[a,\infty)$ for all $a>0$. That implies $\displaystyle\int_a^\infty ne^{-nx}\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\;dx\to 0$ as $n\to\infty$ for all $a>0$. Can anyone tell me what the next step is or if I'm on the wrong track? Thanks.
Change variables $y = nx$. Your integral becomes $$\int_0^{\infty}e^{-y}\sin({n \over y})\,dy$$ $$= {{1 \over n}}\int_0^{\infty}y^2e^{-y}{{n \over y^2}}\sin({n \over y})\,dy$$ Integrate this by parts, integrating ${n \over y^2}\sin({n \over y})$ to $\cos({n \over y})$, and differentiating $y^2e^{-y}$. One obtains $${1 \over n}\lim_{y \rightarrow \infty} \big(y^2 e^{-y}\cos({n \over y})\big) - {1 \over n}\lim_{y \rightarrow 0} \big(y^2 e^{-y}\cos({n \over y})\big) - {1 \over n}\int_0^{\infty}(2y - y^2)e^{-y}\cos({n \over y})\,dy$$ Observing that both the boundary terms go to zero, this becomes $$- {1 \over n}\int_0^{\infty}(2y - y^2)e^{-y}\cos({n \over y})\,dy$$ Since $|\cos({n \over y})| \leq 1$ for all $n$ and all $y$, the above is bounded in absolute value by $${1 \over n}\int_0^{\infty}(2y + y^2)e^{-y}\,dy$$ Since the integral doesn't depend on $n$ and is finite, the limit as $n$ goes to infinity of the above expression is zero.

Skip to comments.Black students at Duke upset over study (finding more black students drop out of hard majors)
Posted on 01/13/2012 2:44:23 PM PST by reaganaut1
DURHAM Black students at Duke University are angry over a university research paper that found African-American undergraduates at the school are disproportionally more likely to switch from tough majors to easier ones.
The implications and intentions of this research at the hands of our very own prestigious faculty, seemingly without a genuine concern for proactively furthering the well-being of the black community is hurtful and alienating, wrote the officers of Dukes Black Student Alliance in an email sent to the state NAACP.
The letter from Nana Asante, president of the alliance, challenged the faculty members involved in the research and the university administration to consider what image has this report portrayed to the rest of the country, namely our peer institutions, about Duke and its black students?
The unpublished report, What Happens After Enrollment? An Analysis of the Time Path of Racial Differences in GPA and Major Choice, looked at the Duke freshman classes that matriculated in 2001 and 2002, in their first, second and fourth years of college.
It found that among students who initially expressed an interest in majoring in economics, engineering and the natural sciences, 54 percent of black men and 51 percent of black women ended up switching to the humanities or another social science.
By comparison, 33 percent of white women and just 8 percent of white men made the switch to majors that are considered less rigorous, require less study and have easier grading standards.
According to the paper, 68 percent of Dukes black students but less than 55 percent of white students ended up majoring in the humanities or social sciences other than economics.
(Excerpt) Read more at heraldsun.com ...
If affirmative action results in minority students at elite schools having much potential but weak preparation, then we may expect minority students to start o§ behind their majority counterparts and then catch up over time. Indeed, at the private university we analyze, the gap between white and black grade point averages falls by half between the studentsífreshmen and senior year. However, this convergence masks two e§ects. First, the variance of grades given falls across time. Hence, shrinkage in the level of the gap may not imply shrinkage in the class rank gap. Second, grading standards di§er across courses in di§erent majors. We show that controlling for these two features virtually eliminates any convergence of black/white grades. In fact, black/white gpa convergence is symptomatic of dramatic shifts by blacks from initial interest in the natural sciences, engineering, and economics to majors in the humanities and social sciences. We show that natural science, engineering, and economics courses are more di¢ cult, associated with higher study times, and have harsher grading standards; all of which translate into students with weaker academic backgrounds being less likely to choose these majors. Indeed, we show that accounting for academic background can fully account for di§erences in switching behaviors across blacks and whites.
Of course, instead of being angry at the young men and women who take the easy way out, the race hustlers blame the school.
So, the point of research is to further some goal or other?
Wow, who woulda thunkit?
Global Warming, here we come!
grading standards di§er across courses in di§erent majors.
Note to self: Do not type while hiccuping.
I wonder what the thoughts of Duke's White Student Alliance were on the matter.
Changing majors, baloney...
I'm betting a good many of them stopped reading the paper before they finished. ;^)
Translation :
Without exploring ways to award the incompetent grades and diplomas that they can't otherwise earn...
Here we go again...
Paging Mike Adams, Mr. Mike Adams. Please pick up the red courtesy phone.
wow. all they have to do is just lower the standards and everyone passes..
"this research at the hands of our very own prestigious faculty, seemingly without a genuine concern for proactively furthering the well-being"

"The Bell Curve"
In other news Asian Parents are still disappointed their children only got a 4.0 GPA.
If the NAACP really was interested in the 'advancement' of colored people (as their acronym proclaims) you'd think they would view this information as a call to action. But that's not really what the NAACP is about now, is it?
Studying and getting good grades ain't keepin' it real.
OK, so the report's findings are "...hurtful and alienating...
But are they factual?
A number of years ago Thomas Sowell addressed the issue of affirmative action in major university acceptance standards stating that allowing minorities with substandard education backgrounds into the more academic demanding universities was dooming them to failure. And such failure would create nothing but increased hostility towards the white dominated schools and the white population in general.........
They're blaming the school for studying it and publicizing the situation.
Dig it, bro.
This is not NEWS, just simply TRUTH.
ping to #1
Face it . . . sometimes the truth just simply hurts.
"soft bigotry of low expectations" ping
I wonder how many are getting Pell Grants.
I went to a private woman's college and one history class, the day before an exam, there was a black student in front of me with her head on the desk, asleep. When class was dismissed and she sleepily got up, I asked her, "Aren't you worried about the exam?" she smiled and said, "Well, if I fail,I guess you will just pay for me to take the class again."
I was working full time and going to school full time. I paid my own way. This so infuriated me. I never forgot it. And did find out some intentionally stayed unemployed or took jobs that paid cash so they could get the school paid for.
Ping to hilarious source material!
Reality is not PC.
Exactly. But facts are not PC.
In life (real life--life outside of academia) nobody gives you anything, you have to EARN it.
LOL, that's a joke, right?
"I wonder what the thoughts of Dukes White Student Alliance were on the matter."
Too busy studying mathematics to organize, or comment.
Eighty eight Duke faculty members wrote a letter in support of the Black Student Alliance without having read any of the study.
Any studies comparing and contrasting the average high school GPAs, SAT And ACT scores for incoming Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, South Asians, East Asians that enter Duke their freshman year ? College students often have stories of students getting into schools like Duke where if they were White students their application would have been viewed as purely entertainment.
Reality is always devastating to people who live their lives in Fantasyland.
Wouldn't surprise me if the "remedy" is the conferring of actual science degrees without the "hurtful" and "alienating" process of passing courses.
Any bets on how many of those professors teach in the humanities or social sciences other than economics, and not in math, science, engineering, or economics??
Good reason to End Affirmative Action.
Get some intelligent "negros", lure them into a school for which they are not qualified or prepared, get them in for a year, saddle them with $30k debt, prove to them they can't compete in college, and have them drop out. Plus, it makes the rich white kids feel great about the "diversity" the experienced on campus, taking the black kids in as a "pet".
Now you've got an angry, impoverished, un-degreed, person, who will likely vote democrat the rest of their lives. However, more importantly, they'll never serve as a role model to others in "the community" of persistance and success.
Can you spell moochelle odumbo?
Sounds to me as if the students are upset by the truth.
A couple years ago I overheard a coworker bragging that the college grants he was receiving far exceeded the cost of his classes and materials. This individual was 50 years old, multi-degreed, and...
wait for it...
If the NAACP was really interested in "advancement", they would have disbanded once a member of a minority race became President Of The United States.
Obviously, we need to give MORE Taxpayer money to black under-achievers, and that will solve their problem with getting through tough courses?
Are these the same 88 who went after the Duke Lacrosse Players?
I'm picking up a pattern here.....these stats are eerily equivalent to the criminal population in prisons.....
Who would have thunk?
Who would have thunk?
Before I could make a meaningful analysis of the meaning of this, I would need more information. For instance:
What were the economic backgrounds of these "black" students that dropped out of the "hard" subjects? Were they from poor families and lived in areas where the High Schools did not prepare them for a first rate university setting? In other words, were they allowed to enter with lower GPAs and college entrance exams than the rest of the college student body?
IF this is so I would expect that a "white" student from a similar economic background where a quality High School education was not available to do as poorly. However, does the University not allow "white" students of reduced backgrounds into the school? If not the comparison is not logical.
IF however, students - black or white - come from similar economic backgrounds with similar GPAs and entrance exam results....this would be a troubling findind. It would imply that "black" students are intrinsically lazy (seeking the path of least resistance) or not as mentally capable as their white counterparts. I find both of these conclusion as not being plausible.
I wish they would provide more information.
We saw this switch by Black middle class students at the high school our kids attended. It was Nicolet H.S., a suburban school where 80% go onto college and most, even minorities are middle class. I was a parent active on PTA committees and from knowing kids and parents and from the committee reports I had access to saw a lot of the Black kids were taking the minimum of math and science required to still get into college. The college bound whites, especially the Jewish and Asian kids were taking science and math for all 4 years of HS, as they wanted to be doctors, researchers or engineers.
Awww the poor little race baiters got their itty bitty feewings hurt..... Truth is painful aint it.

The mother–offspring bond is one of the strongest and most essential social bonds. Following is a detailed behavioral report of a female chimpanzee 2 days after her 16-month-old infant died, on the first day that the mother is observed to create distance between her and the corpse. A series of repeated approaches and retreats to and from the body are documented, along with detailed accounts of behaviors directed toward the dead infant by the mother and other group members. The behavior of the mother toward her dead infant not only highlights the maternal contribution to the mother–infant relationship but also elucidates the opportunities chimpanzees have to learn about the sensory cues associated with death, and the implications of death for the social environment.

Town considers closing middle schoolJanuary 25,2013Guilford considers closing middle school
GUILFORD The Vermont town of Guilford is considering closing its middle school.
If that happens, seventh- and eighth-graders would attend Brattleboro Area Middle School.
The Brattleboro Reformer reports board members are expected to choose between those budgets at a special session scheduled for Sunday afternoon. But a final decision will made by voters at Town Meeting in March.
Supporters of sending the children to Brattleboro say they would have additional education and extracurricular opportunities. They also cite Guilfords declining enrollment.
But middle-school supporters have argued that Guilfords small school supports the local instruction.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has not spoken publicly since Sept. 9. Bob Ley talks with ESPN NFL business analyst Andrew Brandt and John Baldoni, Chair of N2Growth's Leadership Development Practice about the commissioner's recent lack of presence.

What has been top of mind for corporate boards and CEO's worldwide since 2004? It is not competitive threats, rising costs, innovation challenges, risk management, technology, debt, or even the regulatory environment. Corporate directors and CEO's identify the need to create and sustain a leadership and talent culture that drives superior operating results as their #1 current and future challenge….and, this has been the case since 2004!Read More›

What keeps CEOs up at night? It's not what they know, but what they don't know.
Such is the case in which General Motors newly appointed CEO Mary Barra finds herself. According to reporting by New York Times reporter Bill Vlasic, Barra did not learn of the ignition problem that has led to the recall of over 1.6 GM vehicles until January 31st. The problem with the faulty ignition, which causes engine shutdowns, has been linked to at least 13 deaths stretching back to 2003.

Google and Apple are both highly esteemed brands. Both companies share many common traits which have contributed to their success, but there is one very big difference between the two – Google plays offense while Apple has recently settled for playing defense. Apple is struggling to maintain its position in the market, while Google is expanding its position.
By Mike Myatt, Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth
While in flight today I had the opportunity to read an interview in "Fortune" with Home Depot's CFO, Carol Tome. As a prelude to the interview, Home Depot's CEO, Frank Blake proudly stated that he had placed Tome in charge of the company's growth initiatives, at which time I sighed and said a silent prayer for Home Depot as it must surely be on its death bed to place a CFO in charge of growth. While there are certainly exceptions to every rule, placing a CFO in charge of corporate growth is like placing the drug addict in charge of inventory control in the pharmacy…it's just not good business, and it won't work.
As I delved into the meat of the interview my initial skepticism was confirmed. Tome's "growth" moves seemed to be focused on cost-cutting, head-count reduction, slowing store expansion, etc. To be fair to Ms. Tome, I don't know her, it was an interview, and she did throw out a few catch-phrases like increasing sales per square foot, and improving the customer experience, but disclaimers aside, the interview read like just another CFO in way over her head to me…When will CFOs learn that cost-cutting and workforce reduction are not sustainable business strategies? Anyone can take out the chain-saw, hack away for a few quarters, and look like a hero, but what happens after that?
The story usually unfolds like this: After all the slash and burn has taken place, which by the way causes a sense of uncertainty across the enterprise, and a corresponding rapid downturn in morale, what the finance savvy CFO has just done in his/her first few acts is disrupt the entire culture, increase cost centers and decrease profit centers, but boy is this operation lean and mean…
All sarcasm aside, the reality is these decisions won't adversely impact the business in the short-run as the near term funnel will not likely be harmed. However when revenue starts to evaporate in forthcoming quarters because customers are not being serviced, new deals are not being added to the pipeline due to sales people leaving the company, and the corporate brand is losing visibility due to reduction in marketing expenditures, things start to get a little tense. You see there is no substitute for operating experience. The most brilliant CFO if void of operating experience will make similar mistakes to those mentioned above when making non-financial, operating or strategy decisions.
At this point in time you may be saying to yourself "this author really doesn't like CFOs." Quite to the contrary…at one point in my career I served as a CFO, and I understand better than most that CFOs play a critical role in the success of any business. In fact, one of my first recommendations to any client is hire the best CFO they can afford. One of my next recommendations is to start mentoring the CFO in the non-financial aspects of business. If your CFO has only operated in a finance silo how can he or she be expected to gain experience across competencies and business units. Consider embedding the CFO in operational roles in marketing, strategy, business development, innovation, branding etc., so that they have the opportunity to understand the essential long-term value created by initiatives that may not have an immediate impact on the balance sheet or P&L.
It is necessary to understand that most CFOs come out of a public accounting background and rarely have training or experience in sales, marketing, advertising, public relations, non-financial strategy and tactics, and usually have little experience in terms market knowledge from a competitive, production or operating perspective. Accountants are typically trained in tax or audit functions, and while fluent in GAAP, they don't typically bring traditional business savvy to the table. They are masters of retroactive analysis as their job is to document and report on historical events.
Let it be noted that I am a strong advocate of sound financial governance and the implementation of reasonable cost containment measures. However not when applied in a vacuum irrespective of the ripple effect across the enterprise. A company can have all the cost containment in the world, but without revenue what does it matter? In C-level operating and strategy positions the executive has a broader sphere of influence, and will have many more points of critical contact both internally and externally than will the typical CFO. Therefore having experience across a broad range of skill sets and competencies is mission critical for a company's executive operating and strategy talent.
Ponder this…if the Chairman or CEO places the CFO in charge of corporate growth without the experience necessary to pull if off, the resulting chaos isn't really the fault of the CFO, but rather it belongs to the Chairman/CEO that set him or her up for failure. The moral of this story is simply to hire/promote the most experienced and discerning people possible into executive operating positions. This can and and sometimes does include a current or former CFO that has been properly trained and mentored, but it should never include the unprepared CFO.

No mention of Wadsworth, the transfer from Hawaii. Any news on his status? I
believe that originally he was tabbed as a promising corner; maybe not a starter
but making the rotation.
Also, I thought Reilly was a scholarship player, not a walk-on. The last I read about him indicated he had started several games as a true freshman at CSU (before a mission). That would suggest he might be fairly likely to make the rotation as well. What's anyone else hearing?

Your are right on Chris B, the Utes will put everything into that one game and will take down the Cougars.....probably with an embarassing blowout too. I can totally see it. And then they will go on to win only 3 or 4 of their remaining 11 games, and will leave the original members of the PAC 10 continuing to wonder how to get out of the obvious mistake in adding Utah and Colorado. The real question is when will Utah and it's fan base ever set their sights higher than a weak "2nd best independent" program in the nation?

Bills and Sorensen are both solid players. Johnson was good last year, and I
expect him to be even better this year.
DBs were the weakest part of our defense last year, and probably will be again this year. They got exposed by Oregon St and SJ St and their passing game.
We're going to face a few more teams who have the ability to throw the ball downfield this year. Hopefully the DBs will be ready for the challenge.
Mildred - I know you are trying to be funny with your sarcasm, and ignite the Utah faithful; but DB's are not a strength. They should be solid, but the LBs are the strength of the defensive.

You must be giddy over all your success. They've taken the Southern Division by storm. Now it's on to the conference title and the Rose Bowl. Go Runnin' Utes (more like runnin-out-of-excuses Utes)

Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Catapult > Stories > Striking it big
Jake Tyson's hammer is hitting headlines for its unique design.
Who: Jake Tyson
Age: 31
Where: Sydney, NSW
Company: Redback Tools
What they've done: invented and developed new hardware tools. Innovation is: "being different"
As an 18-year-old apprentice carpenter, Jake Tyson didn't think his hammer was up to scratch. It didn't hit nails on the head properly and the shock of the blow reverberated uncomfortably up his arm.
Finding no other option in the market, Jake started playing around with different design ideas for a better hammer. Compensation from an accident when he was 21 gave him the money to start making prototypes and fund international patents for his new hammer, the Maxistrike.
Jake's hammers have been used on just about every renovation show in town from Backyard Blitz to Renovation Rescue, and widely promoted on radio talk-back and breakfast shows. And to cap off Jake's success, last year the Maxistrike hammer won a major US award for best new product.
With a maxiknife and a sketch tape also on the market, Jake believes Redback Tools will be a household name within five years.
Inspiration for the design came from...
I was sick of having to pull out my nail punch, get over rafters and getting shocks up my arm when I hit objects. I thought I could redesign it, balance it a lot better and basically develop an arc shaft so I could hit without using a nail punch.
I think it's innovative. It won 'Best New Product in the World' in 2004, which speaks for itself. We're the first non-US company ever to win this 'Dealer's Pick' award, and for the Americans to admit that anyone does something better than them you know it has to be innovative.
The design is innovative with the balance the hammer has and the way it hits the object is about 50% harder than a standard hammer will.
Hard stuff about setting up Redback Tools...
It's been slower than what I thought. I was a lot more optimistic when I started. I thought it'd be simple; I'd just put this best idea out onto the market, someone would snap it up and it'd be on every shelf in Australia within a month. I was well off there - Australia's a very big country and it takes a while for word to get around.
At the time it was a lack of understanding, a lack of business skills and a lack of funds. I was very green; definitely very green.
Getting started...
I had a motorcycle accident and was in hospital for a long time. Obviously I couldn't be a carpenter any more so I decided to study marketing, product development etc and how to launch new products. But you can read as many books as you like, study as many courses as you like but you've really got to be thrown in the deep end. And it's sink or swim.
Learning on the job...
I watched people. I'd try to talk to people who had been successful in whatever their chosen field is but a mentor as such, no, not really.
It's hard to find someone who's redesigned tools or tried to launch new hammers and tape measures. I was on my own. It definitely was a learning experience.
But now feel I could pretty much launch any product be it a book, a pen, a tool, it doesn't matter as long as you stick to the basic principles. You could be selling the same pen or ruler or tool as the person down the road. What you've got to do is market it better, do it better than what they do and you've got a sellable product.
The challenges...
When you're starting off making sure you've got the money is the biggest challenge and making sure you pay rent every week. No one really gives a hell about you when you're broke, that's for sure. You're accountable for yourself. If you don't make money basically you're gone. No one ever offers you money for nothing.
And the rewards...?
Working for yourself for one. Being accountable for what you're doing - there's no limit to how far you can go.
Now some of the most fun I'm having is other people emailing me or calling me saying they have a new product and asking if I have any advice for them about how to help or how to launch it. I get a lot from that because I know how hard it was and I might be able to help them slipstream five years, and in some cases I have.
Any advice for others?
You can be positive but you need to remember you can't bullshit yourself forever. There's only one way to find out and that's to do it.

Welcome to the West
Don't like freedom of the press? Don't like freedom of expression? Can't stand a little blasphemy now and then? Then, well, geeI hate to sound all xenophobic and shit, but, like, um, get the fuck out of the West then. Freedom of expressionincluding expression that this Pope, that Mullah, or the other Rabbi might find blasphemousis part of the price of admission. It's right up there with having to see women voting and driving themselves around in cars, homosexuals kissing each other, and places of worship where people are praying to some other brand of deity.
In case you're just tuning in, a newspaper in Denmark printed a full-page comic that made fun of Islam and the Mohammad. Individuals Muslims and Islamic states all over the world arecan you guess?outraged. They're boycotting Danish products, burning Danish flags in the streets, andcan you guess?issuing death threats. The editors of other newspapers in Europe, rightly concerned for their hard-won freedom to publish whatever they wish, have been re-printing the comic in solidarity with the beleaguered Danish paper.
You can see the comic here. You can read the latest here. You can enjoy a little Stranger-style blasphemy here.
And, again, I hate to sound xenophobic, but I'd rather sound xenophobic than go all wobbly on freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and the freedom to offend.

If you think that a fictional account of the 1919 Boston Police strike
wouldn't hold your interest, you'd be wrong. Dennis Lehane, best known for his
mysteries set in contemporary Boston, draws comparisons to E.L. Doctorow's
Ragtime with his historical novel, The Given Day.
Both books combine the stories of fictional characters with actual people who lived at the time, with anarchist Emma Goldman making an appearance in both. The themes of family, loyalty, greed, class, race, secrets and power, and how they affect people and their relationships, combine to make this an unforgettable novel.
Baseball fans will be drawn in immediately as the story starts off with Babe Ruth, playing at that time for the Boston Red Sox. Ruth stumbles upon a baseball game being played by young black men in Ohio, and asks to join the game. He is in awe of their talent, and ...

text: Hi-Tech Pharmacal Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. One potential earnings short-squeeze play in the biotechnology and drugs complex is Hi-Tech Pharmacal ( HITK), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday before the market open. This company is a specialty manufacturer and marketer of prescription, over-the-counter and nutritional products. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Hi-Tech Pharmacal to report revenue of $57.56 million on earnings of 68 cents per share. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Hi-Tech Pharmacal is sits at 4.9%. That means that out of the 10.58 million shares in the tradable float, 509,000 shares are sold short by the bears. This isn't a huge short interest, but it's more than enough to spark a decent short-covering rally post-earnings if the bulls get the news they're looking for. From a technical perspective, HITK is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been on a tear during the last two months, with shares soaring from a low of $27.35 to a recent high of $36.27 a share. During that sharp spike higher, shares of HITK have consistently made higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed HITK within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on HITK, then I would wait until after they report and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $36.27 to $36.49 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average action of 92,196 shares. If we get that move, then HITK will setup to re-test and possibly take out its next overhead resistance level at $38.16 a share. If $38.16 gets taken out with volume, then HITK could trend back towards $40 to $43 a share post-earnings. I would avoid HITK or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops below some near-term support at $34.53 a share with heavy volume. If we get that action, then HITK could easily take out its 50-day moving average of $33.21 a share, and then drop lower towards $30 to $29 a share post-earnings. Prev 3 of 6 Next

Opossum oppressed southern Brooklyn continues to blame City Hall for an ill-conceived rat-eradication scheme — but the mayor and even the governor say the whole thing is a figment of a varmint-obsessed population.
What has become known as "Opossumgate" started three years ago, when a Sanitation official apparently told a packed room of Community Board 15 "town hall" meeting attendees that the city had "brought opossums in to take care of the rat problem."
That contention was repeated in March by Councilman Domenic Recchia, who told this newspaper about the supposed ecological intervention by the city, which allegedly transported the animals to the neighborhood to gobble up rats.
The Post repeated Recchia's tall tale tail last Sunday in a story that referred to the city's so-called "operation opossum" as a misadventure that is now causing an opossum outbreak from Coney Island to Carroll Gardens.
There's one flaw in the whole thing: Operation Opossum simply isn't true.
"There is no opossum program," said Jessica Scaperotti, a mayoral spokeswoman. "The city did not bring opossums there. They are indigenous to the northeast."
The Department of Health echoed that sentiment, calling the concept preposterous. "The Health Department did not, does not, nor plans to release any opossums or any other wildlife to control the city's rat population," a spokeswoman said.
And even if it wanted to, the agency said, it is not allowed to simply truck wild animals wherever it wishes, because relocating non-domesticated fauna is regulated by the state Department of Environmental Conservation — and that agency has not written a license for such a relocation, said spokesman Thomas Panzone, who ferreted through 20 years of data looking for such a document.
But Recchia had no apologies.
"This is what the community board was told," he said. "How did the opossums get here then?"
Recchia recounted that 2007 town hall meeting, at which Sanitation officials told Sheepshead Bay and Manhattan Beach residents that the city did indeed bring in the munching marsupials to control the rodent population.
And, yes, the minutes of that town hall meeting, kept by a member of Community Board 15, stated, "The Department of Sanitation said that the city brought possums in to take care of the rat problem."
But Sanitation spokeswoman Kathy Dawkins said she personally spoke to one of the officials at the meeting — Enforcement Director Todd Kuznitz — and he told her this week that nothing of the kind was said at that meeting.
"It's not true," Dawkins said. "Sanitation has nothing to do with opossums."
But the conspiracy theories continue. Theresa Scavo, the chairwoman of CB15, suggested that the city is just playing 'possum, desperately hoping to hide its Mickey Mouse operation.
Opossums, after all, have become a public relations nightmare, she said.
"If you were them and now you had an opossum problem, would you own up to it?" Scavo asked. "I think it was an experiment that went bad."
Real or not, experts laughed like hyenas at the critter caper.
"Opossums are not effective rat predators," said Dr. Robert Voss, the director of mammalogy at the American Museum of Natural History, a Manhattan institute. "If they found a dying rat, they would probably eat it, but opossums don't move that fast and rats are very smart and very fast."
The very idea of dispatching an army of opossums to kill rats is "ridiculous," he added.
Opossums are generalists, eating everything from poisonous snakes to rotting trash. But biological control typically works only if the creature that's being introduced has a highly specialized diet, for example a wasp that attacks only a certain type of caterpillar.
In nature, generalists take prey that is the easiest to acquire, not the most difficult. And for opossums, Voss said, that means choosing garbage over a grizzled sewer rat.
The introduction of animals to control pests can have mixed results. Mongooses were introduced in the West Indies to control rats and snakes, but turned out to be quite destructive, wiping out a vast array of small mammals.
So which animal would be an effective Brooklyn e-rat-icator?
"Probably something like a weasel," Voss said.

I was looking around after 2 hours of pottering around with code, trying to get a dropdown archive thingy set up on my webpage, carthik.net.
The wp archives templates tells me that the format=option parameter will give me a list that can be within a dropdown menu.
Can someone please please write me a small menu which uses this method? I can't get this done for the life of me.
How is the format = 'option' supposed to be used to generate dropdown menus?
I found an earlier thread with a hack that does not work now.
All the hack gives me is "january 2004" as the first and last option :)
All help leads to good karma :)

Is happiness a trait?

One of the ideological foundations of the modern welfare states is the belief that people can be made happier by providing them with better living conditions. This belief is challenged by the theory that happiness is a fixed 'trait', rather than a variable 'state'. This theory figures both at the individual level and at the societal level. The individual level variant depicts happiness as an aspect of personal character; rooted in inborn temperament or acquired disposition. The societal variant sees happiness as a matter of national character; embedded in shared values and beliefs. Both variants imply that a better society makes no happier people.
Happiness can be regarded as a trait if it meets three criteria: (1) temporal stability, (2) cross-situational consistency, and (3) inner causation. This paper checks whether that is, indeed, the case.
The theory that happiness is a personal-character-trait is tested in a (meta) analysis of longitudinal studies. The results are: (1) Happiness is quite stable on the short term, but not in the long run, neither relatively nor absoloutely. (2) Happiness is not insensitive to fortune or adversity. (3) Happiness is not entirely built-in: its genetic basis is at best modest and psychological factors explain only part of its variance.
The theory that happiness is a national-character-trait is tested in an analysis of differences in average happiness between nations. The results point in the same direction: (1) Though generally fairly stable over the last decades, nation-happiness has changed profoundly in some cases, both absolutely and relatively. (2) Average happiness in nations is clearly not independant of living conditions. The better the conditions in a country, the happier its citizens. (3) The differences cannot be explained by a collective outlook on life.
It is concluded that happiness is no immutable trait. There is thus still sense in striving for greater happiness for a greater number.

Whenever BLC is triggered, it does the query:
SELECT links.* FROM wp_blc_links AS links WHERE (( last_check_attempt < '2011-10-11 17:57:52' ) OR ( (broken = 1 OR being_checked = 1) AND may_recheck = 1 AND check_count < 3 AND last_check_attempt < '2011-10-21 17:37:52' )) AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM wp_blc_instances AS instances WHERE instances.link_id = links.link_id AND ( instances.container_type IN ('dummy', 'page', 'post', 'comment', 'blogroll') )AND ( instances.parser_type IN ('link', 'image', 'url_field', 'metadata') ))ORDER BY last_check_attempt ASC LIMIT 30;
Problem is, the first part of this query doesn't use an index. So it ends up using filesort, which isn't too bad with only a few links, but with hundreds/thousands, this can be a penalty.
Anyway, adding an index for "last_check_attempt" to that table allows mysql to use an index for the query, and avoids filesort. Just thought I would pitch this as a feature request.

I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
My question is, the contemplation part. How many of us really contemplate our spiritual lives? Do we ever really look back on our lives and see God in them? Do we strive to have moments (or days) of peace in which we can truly go over our spiritual formation, and concretely progress? How important is this, and how can we achieve it? What would stop us from making this effort? etc.
Of course I am still working on this first step myself.

Released: Mar 01st, 1992
Running Time: 68
Director: Paul Norman
Company: Video Team
Cast: Jamie Leigh, Bianca Trump, Madison (I), Sikki Nixx, Samantha York, Buck Adams, Monoa Lisa, Monique Hall, Teri Diver
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
This Edward picks up where Parts 1 and 2 leaves off. Our adult Edward ages...and becomes F.J. Lincoln, who relives his life. There is a sad edge of loneliness to the aged Penishands. His monologue elicits a feeling of pathos, especially when Lincoln comments that no one could ever make love to him like the K.C. Williams and Buck Adams encounter he witnesses. Eddie also recalls his time with Samantha York, who, amazingly enough, manages both of his appendages in one hole. Seeing York spread 'em for a double-fisted pleasure is quite a showstopper, especially when she urges him on with heated cries of "faster" and helps him with the penetration. The aged Lincoln shows that they can still please a duet of pierced ladies (Madison and Jamie Leigh) as Moana Lisa looks on and strokes herself.
Kudos go to the penile prongs. At times, they seemed more real than Nixx's true tool. Also, applause for the makeup, f/x and the hilarious use of the "1812 Overture" for the explosive pops. Not on par with either of the prequels, but this deserves a look from the curious.

TravelPod Member ReviewsAmadeus Hotel Bologna
I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room they gave me. Unlike single rooms in other more touristy cities, this one was huge! The beds were comfortable, floors and bathroom very clean, nice size tv in room, and very quiet at night. The only down for me was that the AC unit in the room wasn't working but as I was only here for one night, and the room was quite airy, it didn't really matter. It probably also didn't hurt that I was here in October when it was a bit cooler. Overall, I would stay here again.

This is Italy!
We arrived at the hotel just before 10 pm. At 45€ per night incl breakfast we did not expect much, but the 4-star Amadeus hotel was really nice with a large room. There was a restaurant in the hotel that looked good and very Italian with a big wood-fired pizza oven. Even though it was a little early for dinner in Italy (only 10 pm) we were …

It looks like the members of Fall Out Boy may be on the outs – for good.
After months of speculation, Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump have confirmed that their band, Fall Out Boy, is not together at this time.
"As far as I know," bassist Wentz wrote on his blog Tuesday, "Fall Out Boy is on break … I can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again."
Meanwhile, frontman Stump issued a more definitive statement. "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now," he told Spin.com. Wentz added via Twitter that to continue in the band, "Something would have to change in my head or my heart – not my wallet. It'd have to be real."
And this is a real ending, at least according to Wentz, who Tweeted, "A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old, [and] I don't plan on either."
But the musicians aren't without fond memories of their time together. The guys say the breakup is amicable, and they don't completely rule out a reunion or even a new incarnation for the group.
"One way or another, the band will always be around," said Stump. Echoed Wentz on his blog, "There is the possibility that FOB will play again with or without me."
What's next for the former bandmates? Stump is already at work on a solo album, but Wentz – who has a 1-year-old son with wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz – is eager to move forward with new projects, and maybe a tour.
"Letting go of this giant part of my life has been hard," he blogged. "But I want to be back on tour having my son watch me from the side of the stage."

PS~ These are the headers I get on my CSV log in excel:
item_id email download_id selected_id filename item_title time_requested posted_data delivered_as
