text: In a three-dimensional space, given a cylinder of radius $R$ and height $L$ with the axis forming a couple of angles $\{\phi,\theta\}$ with respect to the $z$ axis of the $\{x,y,z\}$ reference frame, a gaussian function: $$G=\frac{1}{2\pi\sigma^2}\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2}\frac{x^2+y^2}{\sigma^2}\right)$$ intersects the surface of the cylinder. What is the equation of the shape of the figure formed by this intersection? We can assume the center of the axis of the cylinder to be coincident with the origin of the cartesian coordinates.

$500,000 Gets You A 170-Foot-Tall Ketchup Bottle In Illinois
The condiment container towers above the former Brooks Old Original and Tangy Ketchup factory. The company moved out decades ago; now the space is for sale. It doesn't come with a giant side of fries.
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. A 65-year-old bottle of ketchup is on the market in Illinois. OK, the 170-foot tall bottle was never technically filled with ketchup, but the giant condiment container towers above the former Brooks Old Original Rich and Tangy Catsup. The company moved out decades ago. Now the space is up for sale. Half a million buys the landmark bottle of ketchup and the warehouse next to it. It does not, however, come with a giant side of fries. It's MORNING EDITION.

ONJ has been increasingly suspected to be a potential complication of bisphosphonate therapy in recent years. Thus, the ASBMR leadership appointed a multidisciplinary task force to address key questions related to case definition, epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostic imaging, clinical management, and future areas for research related to the disorder. This report summarizes the findings and recommendations of the task force.
Introduction: The increasing recognition that use of bisphosphonates may be associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) led the leadership of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) to appoint a task force to address a number of key questions related to this disorder.
Materials and Methods: A multidisciplinary expert group reviewed all pertinent published data on bisphosphonate-associated ONJ. Food and Drug Administration drug adverse event reports were also reviewed.
Results and Conclusions: A case definition was developed so that subsequent studies could report on the same condition. The task force defined ONJ as the presence of exposed bone in the maxillofacial region that did not heal within 8 wk after identification by a health care provider. Based on review of both published and unpublished data, the risk of ONJ associated with oral bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis seems to be low, estimated between 1 in 10,000 and <1 in 100,000 patient-treatment years. However, the task force recognized that information on incidence of ONJ is rapidly evolving and that the true incidence may be higher. The risk of ONJ in patients with cancer treated with high doses of intravenous bisphosphonates is clearly higher, in the range of 1–10 per 100 patients (depending on duration of therapy). In the future, improved diagnostic imaging modalities, such as optical coherence tomography or MRI combined with contrast agents and the manipulation of image planes, may identify patients at preclinical or early stages of the disease. Management is largely supportive. A research agenda aimed at filling the considerable gaps in knowledge regarding this disorder was also outlined.

Juan Manuel Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KO's) and Mike Alvarado (34-2, 23 KO's) weighed in on Friday for their fight on HBO Saturday night for their catch-weight fight at 143 lbs at the Forum, in Inglewood, California, USA. Both guys are trying to get a much bigger money fight against WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao for later this year, which is why their fight tomorrow night is incredibly important for each of them. It's slightly less important for Marquez, as he's already made good money in the past and it won't be as much of a big deal if he gets weeded out by Alvarado on Saturday night.
Marquez weighed 141.6 lbs and was well under the contract limit of 143. Alvarado, however, came in .2 lbs over the limit at 143.2 lbs. Marquez didn't make a production out of the small amount of weight that Alvarado came over the limit, and it was pretty clear that Alvarado could have made the weight had he stripped off his shorts. Since there was no title on the line and Marquez didn't abject to him being slightly over, Alvarado wasn't forced to strip down.
Alvarado will be making $650,000 for the fight, whereas Marquez, the better known fighter, will be getting $1.4 million. The money that Marquez is getting for the fight is nothing compared to the cash he made for his last two fights against Pacquiao.
"I feel excited to fight again in this historic building," Marquez said. "I see a lot of old faces. A lot of people know I don't talk outside the ring; I do my job in the ring. For this fight I have three points in my mind. One, Mike Alvarado is a strong fighter, he's a great fighter and I have a tough fight.
"Secondly, I prepared myself very hard for this fight because this fight will be a war. Finally, the people will see a great, great fight because Mike Alvarado wants to win the fight; I want to win the fight. This fight will be a war!," said Marquez.
Marquez wants a win in this fight so that he can try and win a 5th division world title against Pacquiao. If the two wind up facing each other, it'll be the 5th time they've fought, and likely not the last time they meet each other.

''If we can build a top notch BMX track and turn Forrester
Park into a hub for BMX, it would lift the profile of the

Mr Wadsworth said a track would cost more than $250,000. A

The club was building a ''small pump track'' beside the BMX
track to boost the confidence and to improve the bike skills

''BMX is a great starting platform. A few of our riders have
gone on to track-riding and mountain biking,'' he said.
Mr Wadsworth said a bigger pump track would allow the club to
hold more community events on a larger scale.
The club has 80 members at present.
''The average age of club members is 8. A lot of our young
riders have the potential to go far in BMX but we don't have
the facilities to get them to that point.
''It would be great to see a local rider going to the
Olympics in 10 years' time,'' he said.

proposal forward, had been talking to the Dunedin City

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- An oral history of the tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa and the surrounding area on April 27, 2011, will be exhibited later this month at the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum.
The exhibit, "Listening to the Storm: A Natural Disaster in Retrospective," will offer first-hand accounts of first responders, volunteers and survivors from April 23-June 7.
Museum director Shaina Strom said the exhibit speaks to the devastation of the storms, how far the community has come in the past two years and looks ahead to its future.
She tells The Tuscaloosa News that 50 to 60 accounts have been recorded, but about 25 will be part of the actual exhibit. The remainder will be stored in an archive. Those wishing to contribute an account are asked to schedule an appointment.

Champlin Park High School teacher headlocks Somali student [VIDEOS]
Hall (right) says he was simply trying to break up a fight, but Somali activists and the student's mother believe he crossed a line.
Champlin Park High School industrial arts teacher Joe Hall is in hot water after video of him headlocking a Somali student on May 3 made its way onto YouTube.
SEE ALSO: South High brawl: Video captures student saying, "Somalis just be getting knocked out!"
The footage, visible below the jump, has prompted calls for Hall's termination from Somali activists and the student's mother, but the school district hasn't taken any disciplinary action thus far.
One video posted to YouTube by JPath96 appears to show the beginnings of a classroom fight between a white student and the Somali student. Hall quickly swoops in to break things up:
The second video shows Hall subduing and headlocking the Somali student while asking him, "Are you done?" Hall releases him, but the student cocks his fist as though he's going to punch Hall in the face. Hall then tackles him onto a desk and says, "I'm not letting you go" while the student filming the incident can be heard whimpering:
According to numerous reports, the 14-year-old Somali student shown in the videos was arrested and suspended following the incident.
In a Pioneer Press report, Anoka-Hennepin School District spokesperson Mary Olson acknowledged "teachers typically do not restrain students," but said that "if they do, it's only if it's absolutely necessary."
"In this situation, the teacher believed there was a significant risk of injury to himself and others in the classroom," Olson added.
But Lori Saroya, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, doesn't buy it.
"It seems like [Hall] was using excessive force on a small kid," Saroya is quoted as saying in the PiPress report. "It's not how you would expect a teacher to react to a fight, which is why we want the [federal education department] to look into what happened here."
Indeed, as the Star Tribune writes, "Outraged Somali community members have demanded an independent investigation" of the incident, but Olson said the school district doesn't regard the altercation as being racially motivated in any way.
The Strib reached Hall for comment last Friday. He said he was simply "breaking up the fight" to ensure "student safety and security."
As of last night, the school district was still considering whether to seek an outside investigation of the incident. In the meantime, Hall reportedly continues to teach at Champlin Park.
But the Somali student shown in the videos hasn't returned.
"My son is at home, thinking he's expelled," the student's mother told the Strib. "He's afraid to come to school."

O J Zilch: It is a real tragedy that we have two very scary people running for president. One who can't keep his mouth shut and the other who denies what she said and/or did because they know what America thinks of her. One is open about what he thinks, the really is not. What she says is entirely different than what she (and her husband) have said and done to help in this long winding road our nation is on. Who is the best candidate? I am not sure, but at least I do know I will not vote for one who has already demonstrated will use deadly force against our citizens for personal gain and disregard our national security and our personal privacy.

Nets players won't be living in Brooklyn
The Nets are still looking for a practice facility in Brooklyn, and as a result, will still be out in New Jersey. That's creating a split of where the players are living, and it turns out that none of them will actually be living in Brooklyn.
From the New York Times:
Williams, specifically, had trouble finding a four-bedroom place for his family in Brooklyn, but most of the players told the Times it was just a matter of logistics, getting between the games and the practice facility. If and when the Nets get a new facility in Brooklyn, most expect to move there, as it will be just as convenient.
(Deron) Williams is renting in SoHo while shopping for a permanent home, preferably one with easy tunnel access. He will have company. Joe Johnson, the Nets' newly acquired All-Star guard, forward Kris Humphries and guard Jerry Stackhousewill all be living in Manhattan as well.
Seven Nets will reside in New Jersey, including the rookie Tyshawn Taylor, who got an apartment in Hoboken, his hometown. (Two others, Mirza Teletovic and Tornike Shengelia, are playing overseas and have not yet shopped for homes, but they are likely to end up in New Jersey, too.)
via For Nets Players, Play in Brooklyn, Practice in New Jersey, Live In ... - NYTimes.com.
In reality, a huge number of NBA players never buy a place where their team is. Why spend the money when you're on the road for 41 games of the year and you can be traded at any moment? But there is a certain amount of smirk-worthy humor in the fact that the Nets players, whose franchise is touting the burough as the new center of all things basketball in N.Y. are all living in Manhattan, closer to Madison Square Garden.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M has withdrawn from the Lone Star Classic College Showcase to be held Saturday in Dallas due injuries to an already shorthanded squad, Aggie head coach Laurie Corbelli announced.
"Obviously we are all disappointed that we do not have enough healthy bodies to compete this weekend in Dallas," said Corbelli, who is beginning her 21st season as head coach of the Aggies. "We will work to stay in shape during the summer and be ready for a very tough and competitive SEC season in the fall."
The Aggies would have only one healthy middle blocker, Jazzmin Babers, available for the final tournament of the spring after Darby Graff suffered an ankle injury late last week. In addition, Shelby Sullivan is still limited after having surgery following a knee injury at the end of the 2012 season. Come the fall season, all three players will be competing to take over starting roles previously held by last year's senior starters, Lindsey Miller and Stephanie Minnerly.
A&M, which loses a total of five seniors from the 2012 team that won the Southeastern Conference Western Division and finished 25-6 after advancing to the second round of the NCAA Championship, also is shorthanded at the outside hitter position with only Ashley Vrana and Angela Lowak able to play in the front row. The most experienced returning outside hitter, Heather Reynolds, is out while recovering from a minor knee surgery.
Meanwhile outside hitter Shelbi Vaughan has been successfully competing with the Texas A&M track and field team and has been unable to compete in any volleyball tournaments this spring. Sierra Patrick also has seen limited practice time while training with the track team, although she did play in the back row in the Aggies' home tournament earlier this month.
A&M went 3-1 in its spring exhibition season opener at the F.A.S.T. Spring College Tournament in Houston on March 23. The Aggies defeated TCU, Baylor and Sam Houston State before falling in three sets to Wichita State, a team that lost only one starter after advancing to last year's NCAA regional finals.
In their own tournament, the Aggies played four matches at G. Rollie White Coliseum, winning their first three contests in straight sets before splitting sets in their final match of the day.
"The competitions we have already played this spring have been extremely helpful for the team," Corbelli said. "We have primarily seen improvements in our team defense, specifically our blocking."
The Aggies open the 2013 season August 30 at a tournament hosted by University of North Dakota.

March 20, 2010 by David A. Brown
OSAGE BEACH, Mo. - Making a 50-mile run takes commitment. Doing so on a shivering-cold morning with a stinging rain requires an absolute certainty in the objective. In short, that was the script for James Dill, who won the American Fishing Series Central Division opener on Lake of the Ozarks.
The Laurie, Mo., pro left the dock at the Grand Glaize Recreation Area and made a two-hour run up the lake to fish the fertile backwaters he located during practice. Conditions were right, and Dill made the decision to stake his tournament fortunes on these distant spots.
"I found a couple of creeks loaded up with fish, and I knew I could go there every day and catch a limit," he said. "I just didn't know what the limits would weigh. It was a long run. I will say that - a long run. My non-boaters, I have to give it to them; they hung with me to run that distance."
Dill caught all of his fish on a 5/16-ounce Crock O Gator Zapper jig in the Ozark Craw color.
"I used the same jig all day today," Dill said. "It just comes through the rocks and brush really good."
After two days of mostly sunny conditions, day three saw a cold front roll through the area in the morning. Anglers faced rain, sleet and snow throughout the day, and air temperatures topped out around 38 degrees. Finding a warm spot was essential to Dill's success.
"The water temperature up there has been 47 degrees for a good week, and the other week I had 50 in there," he said. "I just keyed on that. All of these fish were just coming in, and they were staging on the channel banks. You can go to any channel swing up there and catch fish. I caught probably 14 keepers up there. It was just a good bite today."
With many of his fish biting gingerly, Dill said that hookups required heightened sensitivity and response. Fifteen-pound Berkley 100% fluorocarbon line facilitated this.
"It was really just a matter of feeling them. Those fish would pick up the jig and just hold it. You had to keep a rhythm going and keep contact with that jig. If you didn't have rhythm going, you'd never feel them. If that rhythm stopped, you'd better set the hook."
Dill placed seventh on day one with 13 pounds. He improved to fifth the next day by adding 13-15. In the final round, he caught his best bag of the tournament - 16-1 - and posted a 43-pound total. He won $22,121 plus a Ranger boat, motor and trailer.
Kowal sticks with jerkbaits, finishes second
Shawn Kowal of Linn Creek, Mo., grabbed the second-place spot on day two and never budged. He caught limits all three days, with weights of 15-12, 13-6 and 12-14 yielding a 42-pound total and $7,521. Kowal said he struggled to get a big bite on day two, and he hoped that he had a spot with quality fish identified for the final round. Regrettably, he said he let the crowd factor get to him.
"I made some pretty good decisions the first two days, and I really thought that today I'd catch a lot bigger fish," he said. "I had the spot to probably win this tournament, and I left it too early. There were a lot of boats in there. Today, there was a (local) tournament launching from (this area), and there were four other boats in there. It was tight, so I figured I'd make a run and finish out my limit, but it didn't work out quite that way."
Targeting specific notches in the shoreline contour, Kowal fished Megabass jerkbaits, including a hot new color that has not yet been released to the public.
"I was fishing pretty warm water, so I could move the bait pretty fast," he said. "This afternoon, I fished in cooler water, and I had to let it sit for a while. I just had to keep changing up until I figured out what they wanted."
Newly engaged Garrison takes third
After placing third on day one with 15-11, Earl K. Garrison IV of Bull Shoals, Ark., kept that position on day two with 13-1. He added four fish that weighed 12-5 on day three for a 41-1 total worth $5,309. Garrison caught all of his fish on Megabass jerkbaits, some of which were custom painted by Fall Creek Lures.
"I had two rods out every day, and I just alternated colors on different spots," Garrison said. "It was real simple fishing, but I just came up one short today."
After weighing his fish on day one, Garrison surprised his girlfriend Jennifer Swackhammer with a marriage proposal - on her birthday. Jennifer said "yes," and Garrison said she is the catch of his life.
Ives makes big run, takes fourth
Steve C. Ives of Rockford, Ill., ran about 17 miles from the launch site, fished with rods and jigs from his company, Top 10 Tackle, and caught a strong limit weighing 14-7. Pairing that with his first two weights of 12-4 and 13-10 gave him a fourth-place score of 40-5 worth $4,424. Three of Ives' final-day keepers wore brown suits with stripes on their faces.
"Those smallmouth were a real surprise, and that big one was a joy because I was having a tough morning when I got that one," he said.
Ives described his bait presentation: "Sometimes I was dragging it, and sometimes I just stopped it. When the bite slowed down, I really slowed down the jig. I'd pull it against the structure and just let it sit for a second. I'd wait, and usually a fish would come by and pick it up."
Taylor falls to fifth
Bub Taylor of Tontitown, Ark., led the Pro Division after day two, but dropped to fifth with a tournament total of 39-8. He earned $3,982.
Best of the rest
Rounding out the top 10 pros at the FLW American Fishing Series Lake of the Ozarks event:
6th: Roger Fitzpatrick of Eldon, Mo., 38-14
7th: Marcus Sykora of Osage Beach, Mo., 38-3
8th: Joe Partain of Farmington, Ark., 35-12
9th: Bob Richardson of Granite City, Ill., 33-6
10th: Mike Foree of Osage Beach, Mo., 32-0

It was a night of stellar performances on So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation . Both ballroom dancer Daniela Avanzini and hip-hop dancer Sheaden Gabriel landed in the bottom 2, with the judges deciding that it was time for Daniela to leave the competition. This, of course, resulted in lots of tears. My sadness was lightened by the fact that my favorite All-Star of all time, Stephen "tWitch" Boss, joined the judging panel to sub for Jason Derulo. So who is the next dancer who will exit the So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation competition? Let's take stock of last week's performances to see who shined the brightest. ...

The Top 4 supremely talented dancers on So You Think You Can Dance gave it their all to try and win your votes one last time. Each dancer performed a mind-blowing five times each, while I am exhausted just typing that sentence. The Top 4 dancers -- Hailee Payne, Gaby Diaz, Virgil Gadson and Jana "JaJa" Vankova -- are competing for a $250,000 prize and a role as a dancer in Jennifer Lopez's Las Vegas show. Let's see who truly deserves to be the So You Think You Can Dance season 12 champion. Read More... http://www.buddytv.com/articles/so-you-think-you-can-dance/so-you-think-you-can-dance-fin-57446.aspx
The next round of So You Think You Can Dance is the performance finale, dance fans. We said goodbye to Team Stage's Jim Nowakowski and Team Street's Megan "Megz" Alfonso last time. That leaves just four dancers vying to be crowned the champion: Virgil Gadson, Hailee Payne, Gaby Diaz and Jana "JaJa" Vankova. It was a bit of an odd night, as I feel that that all the duets performed with the othercompetitors sort of fell flat. That being said, let's take a peek in my crystal ball and see who is bound to represent their team in the final Team Stage versus Team Street showdown, and who should pack their suitcase for home.

It was once again a night of incredible performances on So You Think You Can Dance when the Top 8 danced. Of course, some performances hit all the right notes, while other routines fell flat. We bid a sad farewell to Team Stage's Derek Piquette and Team Street's Eddie "Neptune" Eskridge. We are now down to the final six dancers. Let's take a peek back at the performances and see whose So You Think You Can Dance dreams may be coming to an end.

It was an amazing night of competition on So You Think You Can Dance . There were a couple of routines that didn't quite reach the same level as some of the other performances, but that said, much of the dancing was spectacular. Last time, we said goodbye to Team Stage's Edson Juarez and Team Street's injured Jessica "JJ" Rabone. So let's take a look at the performances and see who will be exiting thestage next.

It was another interesting night of competition on So You Think You Can Dance . Some routines were amazing, while others fell flat. In addition, we also bid farewell to four dancers: Kate Harpootlian, Alexia Meyer, Ariana Crowder and Yorelis Apolinario. Sigh. It just gets harder from now on, people. Since the judges no longer have the power to save any of the dancers, it is truly up to you, dance fans. Let's take a peek back at the Top 10 performances and see who will be staying on the So You Think You Can Dance stage and who will be getting a plane ticket home.

It was another night of amazing performances on So You Think You Can Dance . Contemporary dancer Derek Piquette sustained a back injury while rehearsing his Argentine Tango with partner Jessica "JJ" Rabone and had to sit out the episode. Although he was in danger, Derek won the fan Twitter Save, along with JJ. The judges sent jazz dancer Marissa Milele and breaker Asaf Goren home. Since Derek had to miss a week of the competition, he will automatically be in danger of elimination next time.

This was an interesting week on So You Think You Can Dance . Some former favorites didn't shine quite as brightly, while others who had lagged behind suddenly surged ahead. After Ariana Crowder and Kate Harpootlian were saved by the viewers' Twitter votes, the judges decided to send breaker Burim "B-1" Jusufi and contemporary dancer Moises Parra home. So who did enough to garner votes and stay in the So You Think You Can Dance competition? Let's break down the action from the Top 16 and see whose dreams are still alive and who should be ready to book a ticket home.

It was a night of highs and lows as So You Think You Can Dance challenged dancers with random dance styles, and we bid so long to one dancer from both teams. After viewers used the Twitter save to keep Moises Parra and Eddie "Neptune" Eskridge in the competition, the judges cut ballet dancer Darion Flores and waacker Lily Frias. So which dancers gathered enough votes to stay in the So You Think You Can Dance competition? Let's take a look back at the performances and see who may be packing their bags, and who will advance to the next round.

It was a crazy night of performances on So You Think You Can Dance as the top 20 took to the stage for the first time. This time, the dancers were paired in groups to perform in their own style. I wasn't sure at first about the Team Stage versus Team Street twist, but I dig it. Since we will be saying goodbye to one dancer from each team in the next episode, let's try and figure out who killed it on stage and who may be in danger of packing their bags.

This is done through a study of two key papers. First, we examine a paper from Fudenberg and Levine: Reputation and Equilibrium Selection in Games with a Patient Player (1989). We add to this a review Gossner's Simple Bounds on the Value of a Reputation (2011). We look specifically at scenarios in which a long-run player faces a series of short-run opponents, and how the former may develop a reputation. In turn, we show how reputation leads directly to both lower and upper bounds on the long-run player's payoffs. 2016-07-20T04:00:00Z The Chowla Problem and its generalizations http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13614 Title: The Chowla Problem and its generalizations Authors: Pathak, Siddhi Abstract: In this thesis, we study the vanishing of certain $L$-series attached to periodic arithmetical functions. Throughout the writeup, we let $f$ be an algebraic-valued (at times even rational-valued) arithmetical function, periodic with period $q$. Define \begin{equation*} L(s,f) := \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{f(n)}{n^s}. \end{equation*} We discuss a conjecture of Sarvadaman Chowla, made in the early 1960's of the non-vanishing of $L(1,f)$ for rational-valued functions $f$. We further discuss the theorem of Baker-Birch-Wirsing that classifies all odd algebraic-valued, periodic arithmetical functions $f$ with $L(1,f)=0$. We then apply a beautiful result of Bass to give a necessary condition for even algebraic-valued, periodic arithmetical functions $f$, to satisfy $L(1,f)=0$. The sufficiency condition obtained via this method is unfortunately not very clean. This, in view of a theorem of Ram Murty and Tapas Chatterjee, completes the characterization of all algebraic-valued periodic arithmetical functions $f$ with $L(1,f) = 0$. In the next part of the thesis, we discuss the Lerch-zeta function and its functional equation. We also deduce the transcendence of its certain special values. Keeping this in mind, we define a new $L$-series attached to periodic functions and deduce a necessary condition for the vanishing of this $L$-series at $s=1$. Finally, we mention some research topics that were stumbled upon during the course of this study and a few partial results regarding these questions. 2015-09-15T04:00:00Z The Saddle Point Method and its Applications to Number Theory http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13613 Title: The Saddle Point Method and its Applications to Number Theory Authors: Sampath, Kannappan Abstract: In this thesis, we study the classical procedures useful in obtaining asymptotic expansions of functions defined by integrals and their applications to number theory. The final chapter in the thesis reports on a recent joint work with Ram Murty on the theme of using arithmetic formulas to obtain asymptotic formulas to study the Fourier coefficients of the j-function and a related sequence j-sub-m (m ≥ 0) of modular functions.

Fault on both sidesOctober 14,2013
Fault on both sides
Wonderful. The states delegation is speaking out to the GOP regarding the shut down. The House has passed multiple bills to fund sectors of the government that surely they must all agree on: veterans benefits, national parks, NIH research trials, etc.
Yet the Senate (Democrats) wont consider them or negotiate. Why? They want everything up front before they come to the table. Kinda like Tip ONeill screwed Reagan with unfulfilled promises after he got his tax hikes. You all elected these nimrods. I did not.
Since when does any faction of Congress get to say no negotiating until we get what we want? With all the hostage rhetoric coming from the Senate Democrats and the White House, be honest about who is holding who hostage. The Democrat-contolled Senate and the White House are holding the American people hostage. Period.

Frontman of Nirvana. Kurt Cobain wasn't the greatest guitar player but what made him good in my opinion was the lyrics he wrote. How cryptic they were, how he used metaphors, etc. I like Kurt Cobain, his music, and Nirvana but his fans annoy me and i'm talking about the addictive fans. If you guys loved and cared for Kurt so much you would stop calling him God. In an interview, he said he just rather be just remembered as a great singer/song writer. And put all the theories to bed about his death. Kurt never wanted attention for anything in his personal life so imagine what he must feel how his "fans" keep obssesing about who killed him and who he was then rather the music he put out. And Kurt wasn't the inovator of Grunge you idiots one of his favorite bands, The Melvins, were along with Mother Love Bone and Soundgarden.
Rest in Peace Kurt Cobain 1967 - 1994.

by Rachel January 25, 2004
The lead singer of Nirvana, a truely wonderful man who influenced a generation. Sung such great songs as "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Im Bloom", "Heart-Shaped Box" and "Lithium". The man who inspired me to pick up a guitar and to try and write songs of my own, and form a small band with some friends. He died before his time, wether is was by suicide or if someone killed him, the sad fact remians that he is no longer with us. He was one of the musical giants of our time, and is greatly missed.

Seemed cool, never knew him personally so I will just say "seemed". Wrote and sang good music. I like his band's songs.
I hate when people think/say he was/is God or Jesus. He was a human and would most likely want to be remembered as a regular person. Let us all at least respect that.

The last most important musician of the generation. Frontman of the rock band Nirvana. His songs touched souls, and still do today. He will always be remembered.

"never met a wise man. if so it's a woman"

Kurt Cobain was born on February 20 1967, in Hoquaim, a small town southwest of Seattle. His family moved to Aberdeen, and his parents would get divorced. He had a dysfunctional childhood - or, indeed, life - from there on out. He left Aberdeen for Olympia, where he formed the band Nirvana. The sudden success and critical acclaim of the band that would eventually come floored him. In Feburary 1992 he'd marry Courtney Love, who was already pregnant with his child, Francis Bean Cobain. On April 5th Kurt Cobain died, apparently by his own hand. The death was offically ruled by a suicide, although fans and conspiracy theorists alike speculate upon the subject to this day. He left behind a musical legacy with Nirvana that has yet to be rivaled.
"I'm doing an analysis of Kurt Cobain's lyrics from Nirvana for class."
by G. March 23, 2005
Kurt Cobain, along with Nirvana, changed the music industry drastically in that they ended the Metal era of the 1980's and influenced the modern bands we hear today.
Most people would like to talk about his death, if he was killed, if he committed suicide, etc, and this very fact alone might have made him a legend to many people. But to me, he's a legend because he made great influential music. Music that rock wouldn't survive without. Nirvana is the core and heart of the rock body. Embrace him, not his death.

Bicillin C-R
Despite Media, Parents Unaware of Disneyland Measles Outbreak »
"Despite wide publicity accorded the 2014 to 2015 national outbreak of measles, linked to Disneyland in Orange County, California, many US parents remained unaware of the spate of cases, according to survey results from parents of children aged 5 "...
Read the Despite Media, Parents Unaware of Disneyland Measles Outbreak article »
Bicillin CR
Penicillin G benzathine and penicillin G procaine have a low solubility and, thus, the drugs are slowly released from intramuscular injection sites. The drugs are hydrolyzed to penicillin G. This combination of hydrolysis and slow absorption results in blood serum levels much lower but more prolonged than other parenteral penicillins.
Intramuscular administration of 600,000 units of Bicillin C-R in adults usually produces peak blood levels of 1.0 to 1.3 units per mL within 3 hours; this level falls to an average concentration of 0.32 units per mL at 12 hours, 0.19 units per mL at 24 hours, and 0.03 units per mL at seven days.
Intramuscular administration of 1,200,000 units of Bicillin C-R in adults usually produces peak blood levels of 2.1 to 2.6 units per mL within 3 hours; this level falls to an average concentration of 0.75 units per mL at 12 hours, 0.28 units per mL at 24 hours, and 0.04 units per mL at seven days.
Approximately 60% of penicillin G is bound to serum protein. The drug is distributed throughout the body tissues in widely varying amounts. Highest levels are found in the kidneys with lesser amounts in the liver, skin, and intestines. Penicillin G penetrates into all other tissues and the spinal fluid to a lesser degree. With normal kidney function, the drug is excreted rapidly by tubular excretion. In neonates and young infants and in individuals with impaired kidney function, excretion is considerably delayed.
Mechanism of Action
Penicillin G exerts a bactericidal action against penicillin-susceptible microorganisms during the stage of active multiplication. It acts through the inhibition of biosynthesis of cell-wall peptidoglycan, rendering the cell wall osmotically unstable resulting in death of the bacterium.
Mechanism of Resistance
Penicillin is not active against penicillinase-producing bacteria, or against organisms resistant to beta-lactams because of alterations in the penicillin-binding proteins. Resistance to penicillin G has not been reported in Streptococcus pyogenes.
Penicillin has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following bacteria, both in vitro and in clinical infections as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section.
Gram-positive bacteria
Beta-hemolytic streptococci (groups A, B, C, G, H, L and M)
Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-susceptible isolates only)
Susceptibility Test Methods
When available, the clinical microbiology laboratory should provide the results of in vitro susceptibility test results for antimicrobial drug products used in resident hospitals to the physician as periodic reports that describe the susceptibility profile of nosocomial and community-acquired pathogens. These reports should aid the physician in selecting an antibacterial drug product for treatment.
Dilution Techniques
Quantitative methods are used to determine antimicrobial minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). These MICs provide estimates of the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds. The MICs should be determined using a standardized test method (broth or agar).10,11 The MIC should be interpreted according to the following criteria.
Diffusion techniques
Quantitative methods that require the measurement of zone diameters can also provide reproducible estimates of the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds. The zone size provides an estimate of the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds. The zone size should be determined using a standardized test method.11,12 This procedure uses paper discs impregnated with 10 units penicillin to test the susceptibility of microorganisms to penicillin G benzathine and penicillin G procaine injectable solution. The disc diffusion interpretive criteria are provided in the table below.
Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A)
Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria for Penicillin
|MIC (mcg/mL)
|Disk Diffusion (zone diameter in mm)
|Susceptible (S)
|Intermediate (I)
|Resistant (R)
|Susceptible (S)
|Intermedi ate (I)
|Resistant (R)
|Streptococcus pyogenesa,b
|≤ 0.12
|≥ 24
|aSusceptibility testing of penicillins for treatment of
β-hemolytic streptococcal infections need not be performed
routinely, because non-susceptible isolates are extremely rare in any
βhemolytic streptococcus and have not been reported in Streptococcus
pyogenes. Any β -hemolytic streptococcal isolate found to be
non-susceptible to penicillin should be re-identified, retested, and, if
confirmed, submitted to a public health authority.10,11
bThe lack of data precludes defining any other interpretive criteria than 'susceptible'.
Streptococcus pneumoniae (non-meningitis)
Susceptibility Test
Interpretive Criteria for Penicillina
|MIC (mcg/ml)
|≤ 2
|Susceptible (S)
|≥ 8
|a Disc susceptibility testing of isolates of pneumococci is performed using 1 mcg oxacillin discs. Isolates with oxacillin zone sizes of ≥ 20 mm are susceptible to penicillin. For isolates with oxacillin zones of < 19 mm do not report penicillin as resistant without performing a penicillin MIC test.
A report of Susceptible indicates that the antimicrobial is likely to inhibit growth of the pathogen if the antimicrobial compound reaches the concentrations at the infection site necessary to inhibit growth of the pathogen. A report of Intermediate indicates that the results should be considered equivocal, and, if the microorganism is not fully susceptible to alternative, clinically feasible drugs, the test should be repeated. This category implies possible clinical applicability in body sites where the drug product is physiologically concentrated or in situations where a high dosage of the drug can be used. This category also provides a buffer zone that prevents small uncontrolled technical factors from causing major discrepancies in interpretation. A report of Resistant indicates that the antimicrobial is not likely to inhibit growth of the pathogen if the antimicrobial compound reaches the concentrations usually achievable at the infection site; other therapy should be selected.
Quality Control
Standardized susceptibility test procedures require the use of laboratory controls to monitor and ensure the accuracy and precision of the supplies and reagents used in the assay, and the techniques of the individuals performing the test.10,11,12 Standard penicillin powder should provide the range of MIC values noted in the following table. For the diffusion technique using the 10 unit penicillin disc, the criteria in the following table should be achieved.
Acceptable Quality Control Ranges for Penicillin
|QC Strain
|MIC (mcg/mL)
|Disk Diffusion (zone diameter in mm)
|Streptococcus pneumoniae (ATCC®) 49619
|0.25 - 1
|24 -30

Proto (tools)
|Los Angeles, California, United States (1907 )
|New Britain, Connecticut, United States
|Industrial tools
|Stanley Black & Decker
Stanley Proto—more commonly known simply as Proto and historically known as Plomb—is an American industrial hand tool company. It is a division of Stanley Black & Decker. The company is credited with creating the first combination wrench.
Proto was founded in 1907 by Alphonse Plomb, Jacob Weninger, and Charles Williams as the Plomb Tool Company, a small blacksmith shop making chisels in Los Angeles. In 1933, Plomb released what is commonly credited as the first combination wrench.[1]
Plomb acquired a number of companies during the 1940s, including Cragin Tool of Chicago, Illinois in 1940, P&C Tool of Oregon in 1941, Penens Tool of Cleveland, Ohio in 1942, and J.P. Danielson of Jamestown, New York in 1947.[2] Penens Tool would produce tools under the Fleet and Challenger brand names after its acquisition.[3]
In 1946, Plomb was sued by another tool manufacturer—Fayette R. Plumb, Inc., now a brand of Cooper Hand Tools[4]—for trademark infringement.[5] The company began manufacturing its tools with the Proto name, a portmanteau of "professional" and "tools," in 1948. In 1957, the company began operating as Pendleton Tool Industries.[6]
In 1964, Proto was acquired by Ingersoll Rand, and in 1984, it was acquired by Stanley and became Stanley Proto Industrial Tools.[7]

AUSTIN (November 2, 2013) A tentative agreement between the state of Texas and Farmers Insurance would pay out $117.5 million after a fight over whether Farmers overcharged hundreds of thousands of homeowners.
The Dallas Morning News reported that the proposed settlement was filed in Travis County district court and is set for a judge's review in January.
It would cover Texas customers of Farmers from 2000 to 2003.
The Texas Department of Insurance has accused Farmers of overcharging customers and cutting coverage in the wake of spiraling claims of mold in homes.
The deal is almost identical to an agreement reached in 2003 that was seen by many as too favorable to Farmers.
It won't include interest for the 10 years since.

Sony's PlayStation 3 has been on the market for a little
over seven months now, but it has not been the roaring success that company executives had
once promised. Development of the PS3 resulted in budget overruns, internal turmoil between
key executives and a lengthy
delay for the console. For his part in the rocky development of the PS3, "Father
of PlayStation" Ken
Kutaragi was forced out of the company and replaced by Kazuo Hirai.
When it comes to the sales of current generation hardware,
the PS3 is at the rear of the pack. For the month of March, Sony
sold just 130,000 of its PS3s compared to 199,000 and 259,000 respectively for
the Xbox 360 and Wii. For the month of April, sales
totals were at 82,000, 174,000 and 360,000 units respectively. In May, the numbers
were 82,000, 155,000 and 338,000 respectively.
Sony hopes to reverse the fortunes for its $599 console (the
$499 20GB model was dropped
earlier this year) by opening the flood gates with new games. There are
currently roughly 150 games available for the PS3 platform, but Sony plans for at
least 380 new games to hit store shelves during the current fiscal year.
"Attractive game software is the key to accelerate PS3
growth over the next year," said Sony CEO Howard Stringer today at the
annual shareholder's meeting.
The increased number of game titles will help Sony move a
projected 11 million PS3s during the current fiscal year. The company shipped
5.5 million PS3s through the month of March -- less than the projected number
of 6 million.
"All the production problems have been solved. We are
making a comeback already," Stringer continued.
Also on the agenda is tackling the huge losses in Sony's
Games division. The division witnessed a $1.9 billion USD loss
for the fourth quarter due to the PS3.
"We always lose money in the hardware initially, and we
recover that money gradually," remarked
Stringer. "We believe that the PS3 going forward will be vital to our
future, and succeed."
Sony is has already found at least two ways to reduce costs
on its PS3. The company removed
the Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer (EE+GS) chip which is necessary
for hardware-supported backwards compatibility for previous generation games
from European PS3s. That functionality is now accomplished with software
Sony has also increased the production
of the blue-violet diodes necessary for the PS3's Blu-ray drive which
should drive down manufacturing costs.
Whether these lower costs on Sony's end will be passed on to
the consumer remains to be seen, however. Stringer had this to say last week
with regards to PS3 price cuts: "That is what we are studying at the
moment. That's what we are trying to refine."
quote: How many people out there play computer games, and how many of those people buy the new high end video card because it will increase performance?
quote: Going forward I can no longer play PC games because I refuse to spend "another" $1200 to build a new PC. Which means that I'll have to transition to the console. Would I pay $$835 for a PS3? No. ($600 for the PS3, $100 for the HDMI cable, $75 for the extended warranty, taxes.)
quote: Sony have NEVER mentioned the manufacuting cost of the PS3, so claiming they have, just makes you look even more of an idiot. iSupply have however done a component breakdown, back in Novemeber 06, when the console launched in the US, and came up with $800 worth of components.
quote: HDMI are $4 each. Your an abosolute fool if you pay more that $20 for a HMDI cable, let alone $100.
quote: Where I shop, Blu-Ray movies are $5 more than the DVD version, which I am glad to pay for, because I am getting a MUCH better picture.
quote: There are over 30 exclusives and even more timed exclusives on PS3. Sure there are just as many on the 360, and Sony have lost GTA series exclusive, but lets not pretend there rn't a whole new load of PS3 exclusives to replace those thay have been lost.
quote: I'n not sure how you work out it costs less for games on other consoles
quote: The BIG problem, is you also have to pay for all the other crap on 360. Online, costs money, HDDVD, costs money, Wifi, costs money, play and charge kit, costs money.
quote: Your an abosolute fool if you pay more that $20 for a HMDI cable
quote: "If sony had a PS3 system available with no blue ray, but standard DVD,.."
quote: The fact your games will suck due to DVD9 limits
quote: and because of this eventually a new 360 with Blu-Ray or HD-DVD will come out, to replace your console....
quote: 1. If you are fearing BD to become a Betamax than you don't know how influent Sony is in the movie market. And of course, people are not buying tha PS3 for BD right now, maybe they will in a year or two.
quote: No one wants to pay an additional $10-15 for a movie on Blue Ray (or HDV-DVD) over regular DVD
quote: $100 for the HDMI cable?
quote: Sony's attitude towards its consumers prior & during the launch put a sour taste in many, many peoples mouths
quote: Right now, the game selection downright stinks.
quote: He makes some statements where he assumes that everyone else in the world follows his line of thinking.
quote: This has already been discussed. I paid only 10$ for my HDMI cable and its hardly a valid point for arguing that PS3 is expensive.
quote: Please be specific.- Did you have a get bad service while buying a PS3 at some shop ?- Were you unable to get one because of short supply ?
quote: GTA3 was a late arrival and yes PS2 was cheaper (and never $600) at that time. So what would it take for me to buy a PS3 at $600? Two GTA3s!
quote: Quality costs money, it's as simple as that. Cheap console == crap console..
quote: PS3's sales are neck and neck with where the xbox360 was at this point in its lifecycle.
quote: Currently, imho its in the top 10 of bluray movie players
quote: Do you have references to back that up? I am asking because the sales reports of the last few months (which you can find posted in teh Daily Tech columns) show that for the past several months, the 360 has been outselling PS3 by almost a 2:1 ratio.
quote: Are there even 10 Blue Ray movie players available?!?!
quote: PS3's sales are neck and neck with where the xbox360 was at this point in its lifecycle.
quote: I agree w/sony that software will make people want the console... We'll know soon enough when titles like PS Home, gt5 and metal gear launch exclusively for Ps3 if its enough for people to go out and buy the console.
quote: I froogled some numbers and this was what I came up with for total income:Sony ($519x130,000) 67,470,000Xbox ($299x199,000) 59,501,000
quote: most Xbox's are around 299 from what I've found (or much lower even), with that 599 elite out there now
quote: Where the sweet point is for the PS3 is probably at least 150 lower than what it is now
quote: but the basic point is valid in showing both consoles economically are doing very similar
quote: There are currently roughly 150 games available for the PS3 platform, but Sony plans for at least 380 new games to hit store shelves during the current fiscal year.

Rival Popes Will Not Be Watching the World Cup Together, or at All
They don't really care, and it's on too late anyway.
Despite basically being roommates, Pope Francis and pope emeritus Benedict XVI probably won't tune in to see their respective national teams face off in Sunday's final. The German one doesn't even care about soccer, the New York Times reports, while Francis, a noted Argentine fan, doesn't watch much TV, "especially at that hour." The game starts at 9 p.m. in Italy, so he'll probably just follow along on Twitter from bed.
