Diouf in ball-boy probe
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Blackburn forward El-Hadji Diouf has been interviewed by police following allegations made by a ball-boy at Goodison Park. Everton ran out 3-0 winners in a dominant display as former Liverpool player Diouf was subject to a series of boos from the home crowd. The winger was seemingly involved in a verbal altercation with a ball-boy during the first half of the game after the youngster appeared to throw an out-of-play ball towards him with particular venom. The Senegalese international then directed words towards the individual bringing sarcastic cheers from the Everton faithful. Diouf then suffered further abuse from home fans, and again when he went to take two corners in the area of the original incident. After the match police interviewed Diouf at the stadium before the Blackburn team left the ground. A spokesman for Merseyside Police said: "We are looking into an allegation that a 28-year-old man used racist language at the Everton match today."

Eagles beat Nuggets 6-3; AUM dual matches canceled
April 4, 2014
NEW ORLEANS — Southern Miss won the final three singles matches Friday to escape with a 6-3 women's victory against NAIA No. 2 Xavier University of Louisiana at XU Tennis Center.
Amber Brown tied the dual at 3 for the Gold Nuggets (11-6) with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory against Kathrin Waidner at No. 6 singles. But the Golden Eagles (7-11) took the lead for good when Mahitha Dadireddy beat Kourtney Howell 6-2, 7-5 at No. 2, then clinched when Lisa Noderer defeated Brion Flowers 6-2, 6-7 (6-8), 6-1 at No. 3.
Freshman Nour Abbes won in doubles and singles for Xavier. She teamed with Simone-Alyse Ewell for an 8-5 victory against Waidner and Karina Gurgenyan at No. 3, and Abbes defeated Carolin Drescher 6-4, 6-3 at the top singles flight.
Abbes is 11-0 in singles and is 5-0 in doubles with Ewell as her partner. Ewell stretched her doubles win streak to 12.
The Gold Nuggets are 1-4 this season against NCAA Division I opponents. The loss to Southern Miss was just the second in Xavier's past 10 duals.
Xavier's men's and women's home duals against Auburn Montgomery, scheduled for Saturday, were canceled due to impending rain. The Gold Nuggets' next dual will start at 3 p.m. on April 14 at home against Southern. The next Gold Rush dual will start at 2 p.m. April 12 at home against William Carey.

My first thought was Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Where was the primary infection? Lungs? Had she been on other antibiotics prior to the treatment with the fluoroquinolone?
Treating A Patient With Sepsis And Full Thickness Necrosis
Protein C. Research has shown that both genetic and acquired deficiencies in the natural anticoagulant protein C contribute to the development of purpura fulminans.14 Several studies have shown the clinical benefit of protein C supplementation with recombinant human activated protein C.12,15-18 Smith and colleagues showed administration of protein C in patients with purpura fulminans produced a 0 percent mortality rate despite a published mortality rate for purpura fulminans ranging from 40 to 80 percent.15
Antithrombin III. Administration of antithrombin III has the potential to reverse the procoagulant state that occurs in purpura fulminans. Studies have shown that antithrombin III has anti-inflammatory properties and decreases the inflammatory response of mononuclear cells and endothelial cells.19
Topical nitroglycerin. Topical nitroglycerin can convert to nitric oxide, a powerful natural vasodilator. Several studies have shown improved blood flow to the skin with topical nitroglycerin application.20,21 Reduction in pain resulting from poor tissue perfusion can also occur with topical nitroglycerin use.6
Surgical management. Researchers have proposed that aggressive fluid resuscitation and endotoxin-induced fluid shifts lead to tissue edema and subsequent compartment syndrome, which further decreases the blood supply in tissue already subject to vascular compromise. Warner and coworkers showed that performing fasciotomies early in the management of patients with purpura fulminans reduced the depth of necrosis and decreased the extent of amputations.4
Surviving patients typically require surgical treatment of skin necrosis and extremity gangrene. One manages skin necrosis similarly to frostbite and burns by delaying amputation until maximal collateral circulation has developed and demarcation of non-viable tissue has taken place.3 Researchers have described multiple techniques for the treatment of full thickness skin necrosis including skin grafting, synthetic skin grafts and amputation.2-4,22
What About The Prognosis Of Patients With Purpura Fulminans?
While the mortality rate of purpura fulminans has decreased with current treatment modalities, it remains a disabling condition with complex wounds complicated by secondary infections, often requiring major amputations.
A study by Warner and colleagues reviewing 70 cases of purpura fulminans showed a 40 percent mortality rate, 90 percent of patients required surgical intervention with skin grafting/amputation and 25 percent of patients required amputations of upper and lower extremities.4 Davis and coworkers reported 12 cases of purpura fulminans associated with peripheral gangrene with a 25 percent mortality rate, a 67 percent single limb amputation rate and a 33 percent four-limb amputation rate.23 Childers and colleagues reported a mortality rate of 43 percent in patients with purpura fulminans.5 Researchers have shown that rapid diagnosis, ICU management and early surgical intervention can decrease mortality in patients with purpura fulminans.5

The private lesson experience is unique in that it allows for more "customized" instruction that group lessons or rehearsals alone are not able to give. The instructor and student work one on one as a "team" toward the ultimate goal: a better understanding of their instrument, and a higher level of musical development.
In every lesson, we will work to improve technique, tone production, and listening/music reading skills, among other things. I will assign exercises and/or pieces each week that are meant to challenge, not overwhelm! Sometimes I will assign an exercise that is expressly meant for a particular area in which the student may not be the strongest, in an effort to develop that area. Learning an instrument is a skill that takes time to develop, and it is within the journey where most valuable learning takes place!

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I started playing flute when I was 8 and bass when I was 13. In 2002, I moved to New York City to attend The Juilliard School, where I earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Double Bass performance. I came to Pittsburgh to attend Carnegie Mellon University, where I got a Master's of Music degree and a post-graduate Performance Residency Certificate. Since finishing at Carnegie Mellon in 2011, I have been freelancing in Western PA, Ohio, and West Virginia. *** Lesson Details *** I want to provide a fun, relaxed environment in which you feel appropriately challenged and comfortable to make mistakes.

I have many years experience in playing and teaching flute lessons. Depending on your level, I will adapt a similar style of teaching that my teacher, Damian Bursill-Hall of the Pittsburgh Symphony, uses with me. Prior to Mr. Bursill-Hall, I spent 3 years studying with Rhian Kenny of the PSO. I also had 5 years of lessons before that, and started piano lessons when I was 7. I have attended numerous masterclasses and festivals with great teachers, and have notes from all of them. I have had many different lessons with other flute teachers as well. I can teach you classical music, baroque, romantic, etc. I can also teach contemporary, including beat box flute techniques and other extended techniques on flute or piccolo.
I am currently a junior flute performance student at Duquesne University, and I study with Damian Bursill-Hall of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. I am a former student of Rhian Kenny's, also of the PSO. I currently do a lot of freelance playing with my chamber group, the Duquesne Woodwind Trio, and by myself. I am an alumni of the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra, and a member of the Duquesne Symphony Orchestra, Duquesne Wind Symphony, and multiple chamber ensembles.

Flute is my principal instrument, and I am excited to share my experience in classical, jazz, and celtic flute with my students. My teaching approach is to match repertoire work to the student's current needs. For example, a student who needs to work on building dexterity will be working on technical exercises while another student may be focusing on tone or dynamic expression in their weekly exercises. In addition to technique building studies, I encourage students to bring in works of any genre that they would like to excel in.
I have been teaching flute, piano, and violin in the greater Pittsburgh area for four years though I began teaching while earning my degree in music performance at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In addition to my teaching experience, I have 10 years of performance experience under my belt to share with students. I have experience in a wide variety of ensembles including: classical/orchestral, chamber music, contemporary ensembles, flute quartet, musicals, jazz combos, folk bands, traditional Irish music, and free improvisation accompanying poetry or narrative. The levels I teach are: Flute - begginer to advanced, Piano - beginner to intermediate, Violin - beginner
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Ten tips for improving your chances in a slip and fall case
Written by attorney Samuel Cohen
This is a quick guide to help people who slip and fall in a public building to help improve their chances in making a recovery in a lawsuit.
We settled on $15,000. Out of that the attorney got $5,000,his friend an architect got $3400. With all they added on I ended up with less than anybody and I was the one that broke my ankle. I feel I was ripped off ending with $1500.00. They added on all kinds of extras. This was really ridiculous after going thru 2and a half years and 2 attorneys. They said that I was at fault for not knowing that all yellow stripes are slippery. What a bummer. Marlene Marks
Slip and fall cases are VERY difficult to win, and there's no way to analyze the strength of your case without seeing your file. The 1/3 legal fee is very normal, and paying an expert may well have been necessary (in other words, you may have gotten 0 without it). Unfortunately there's no way after the fact anyone who hasn't reviewed your entire case file can determine how well your lawyer did or why things ended up as they did. Hopefully the settlement paid your providers.
Like many areas of law, slip and fall matters can cost a Plaintiff's firm a lot of money to prove their case. For this and other reasons, it is sometimes difficult to get the Plaintiff fairly compensated for the harm they have sufferred. It is a cost/benefit analysis when hiring experts and in many cases Plaintiff have no choice to hire the expert because they must prove their case.
Unfortunately, what has happened to you is not unusual in slip and fall matters. News only reports on the big wins, not what happens in most cases.
Many clients are unhappy with the final result in their case. A few comments: Your narrative says you "settled", which if literally true means the arbitrator did not make a decision, it was an agree settlement. Before an attorney advises you to take a settlement, you and he should go over the dollars and how they will be allocated; you should know exactly what you will net before you say "Yes," to a certain deal. Sometimes the itemization of where the money goes helps with the settlement amount. For example, if all you netted after EVERYTHING was paid out was $1500, your attorney could have shown that math to the defendant(s) and said something like "my client needs to walk away with at least $X." I've used that many times and gotten a bit more in a lot of settlements.
Second comment: Even if the outcome was not satisfactory, remember that cases like this are not a guaranteed win and you and your lawyer went forward because it was POSSIBLE that you could get a better result. You can't really judge the fairness of the system based on only one case. If you ever have another case to bring, what you learned here can be valuable. Make sure that before you go to court/arbitration/mediation/settlement meeting that someone is running the numbers and telling you in advance what you will net. Take care.
Is there a question? Was the arb binding? if not, you can continue on to trial. If you settled then its over. The fees sound typical, and it isnt surprising there was an expert. Liability was apparently determined to be less than 100% on the deft, by the arbitrator, and that probably explains the smaller award.
Slip and fall accidents are a type of personal injury where a property owner is accused of responsibility for another's injury on that property.

How to work with a sawyer when cutting your lumber
Here is a description of some of the pruning tools and techniques for pruning trees for future sawlo...
We're all in this for the glory projects: the garden, chickens, bees, and wind turbine. But there's ...
Outdoor power equipment company, ECHO, proudly introduces the CS-620P professional chain saw.
Choosing the best saw for a particular job involves several factors: the material you're cutting, how precise the cut must be, whether you're cutting a straight line or a curve, and how quickly you want to get the work done. Here's a brief overview of some of the most common types of saws.
A crosscut saw (and a shorter version called a box saw) is the saw most people think of when they think of a handsaw. Its primary purpose is to cut wood across the grain. A rip saw looks similar but has larger teeth and is used for cutting with the grain (splitting a board length-wise, for example).
Coping saws are shaped like a "P" and used for cutting circles or irregular shapes in wood. The blades are quite thin and narrow so they don't bind between the wood as the blade cuts a curved shape. Coping saws are often used to cut woodwork to fit together in the corners of a room. Because of the frame of the saw, cuts cannot be made more than about 6 inches from the edge of the wood.
If you need to make a precise, straight cut (such as those used for making a fine wooden joint), consider a back saw (or miter saw). Back saws have additional metal bracing on the top side to keep the blade straight. They're often used with a miter gauge or box that guides the saw to make angled cuts, such as those used for making picture frames (45 degree angles).
Hack saws have small teeth so they don't remove a great deal of material with each stroke. They're particularly useful for cutting hard materials such as metal or pipe. The narrow blade of a hack saw is held taut by a metal frame with a handle that is perpendicular to the blade.
For a rough, quick cut (pruning a tree, cutting a fallen branch, etc.), a bow saw is an excellent choice. The large teeth of these D-shaped saws cut quickly through wood, but do not make precise cuts.
Key-hole saws are used for sawing small holes or curves in wood. They were originally used to cut small holes in doors so that a metal lock could be incorporated into the door. Today, people more frequently use them to cut holes for electrical boxes in drywall.
Circular saws have a round blade powered by an electric motor. They can be fitted with several types of blades, including a multipurpose blade for making crosscuts and ripping wood.
If you're looking for an electric version of a coping saw for making cuts that are not straight, choose a jig saw (also called a saber saw). These saws rest on a flat metal foot and have a small, narrow blade that moves up and down quickly to cut through wood. You can also find specialty blades for other materials. Pressing the foot of a jigsaw against the material you're cutting keeps the blade perpendicular. Because jig saws don't have a frame like a coping saw, cuts can be made far from the edge of the wood.
The cutting action of a reciprocating saw is similar to a jig saw, but reciprocating saws have smaller feet and are generally more powerful. These saws make cuts in some fairly tight spaces and are quite versatile for rough building projects, such as framing a house.
For cutting small and precise curves, scroll saws combine a table with a small blade. Scroll saws are used for cutting wooden toys, elaborate decorations for shelves or cabinets and other "scroll work."
Table saws are used for cutting straight lines and angled cuts for woodworking projects. Although multipurpose blades are available, you can buy blades specifically designed to rip or crosscut wood. When cutting along the length of a board, a rip fence is a guide used to keep wood a specific distance from the blade of a table saw. A miter gauge or guide is used to hold the wood at an angle or perpendicular to the blade. The saw blade can also be turned to cut at an angle as wood slides across the table. In addition, you can add dado blades (a thick series of blades) to cut wide grooves.
Miter saws are like a circular saw held by a metal arm. The blade can be tilted and turned to cut compound miters (cutting angles across two planes of a board) — a very useful feature for cutting crown molding or corners of more complex picture frames. Instead of moving wood across a table over a blade, when using a miter saw the wood is held stationary, and the saw moves. This same type of saw, when designed to cut metal, is usually called a chop saw.
The design of tile saws can be similar to a table saw or a miter saw, but the blade is designed to cut tile and is cooled by water.
The teeth of band saws are cut into a metal band that rotates on two wheels. You can rip boards or cut angles on a band saw. Because bands are usually narrower than blades, you waste somewhat less wood. Band saws are particularly useful for resawing lumber, for example cutting a 2-by-6 into two 1-by-6s.
Chain saws have teeth on each link of a narrow chain that runs on a metal bar with a rounded end. They can be powered by gas engines or electric motors. Chain saws make wide, rough cuts, so they're primarily used for cutting down trees, making firewood and trimming large branches. Some chain saws can be attached to a special guide so they function as a small lumber mill.

Ron Paul: an absolute faith in free markets and less government
The 10-term congressman from Texas has been a strict constitutionalist since he came into public life some 30 years ago.
karin cooper/face the nation
Berlin, N.H.
Ron Paul still looks surprised when his calls to follow the Constitution and restore a sound currency set off whoops of approval at a campaign stop.
The 10-term GOP congressman from Texas has been making these points for 30 years, with little to show for it beyond hundreds of House votes on the short end of 434 to 1. Critics called him a crank.
But lately, his views and values – the product of a lifetime of intense, self-directed study – are finding an audience. His message is basic: freedom and limited government. Repeal the welfare-warfare state. Get out of Iraq, now. Abolish the income tax. End the war on drugs. Put the dollar back on a more solid footing.
"Unlike some others, I wasn't really anxious to run for president," he tells supporters at Tea Bird's Café and Bistro in Berlin, N.H. "I didn't believe the country was ready for a strict constitutionalist."

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language.[17][18][19] Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C++ or Java.[20][21] The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.[22]
Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive standard library.[23]
Python interpreters are available for installation on many operating systems, allowing Python code execution on a wide variety of systems. Using third-party tools, such as Py2exe or Pyinstaller,[24] Python code can be packaged into stand-alone executable programs for some of the most popular operating systems, allowing for the distribution of Python-based software for use on those environments without requiring the installation of a Python interpreter.
CPython, the reference implementation of Python, is free and open-source software and has a community-based development model, as do nearly all of its alternative implementations. CPython is managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.
Python was conceived in the late 1980s[25] and its implementation was started in December 1989[26] by Guido van Rossum at CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC language (itself inspired by SETL)[27] capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating system.[5] Van Rossum is Python's principal author, and his continuing central role in deciding the direction of Python is reflected in the title given to him by the Python community, benevolent dictator for life (BDFL).
About the origin of Python, Van Rossum wrote in 1996:[28]
Over six years ago, in December 1989, I was looking for a "hobby" programming project that would keep me occupied during the week around Christmas. My office ... would be closed, but I had a home computer, and not much else on my hands. I decided to write an interpreter for the new scripting language I had been thinking about lately: a descendant of ABC that would appeal to Unix/C hackers. I chose Python as a working title for the project, being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus).
Python 2.0 was released on 16 October 2000, and included many major new features including a full garbage collector and support for Unicode. With this release the development process was changed and became more transparent and community-backed.[29]
Python 3.0 (also called Python 3000 or py3k), a major, backwards-incompatible release, was released on 3 December 2008[30] after a long period of testing. Many of its major features have been backported to the backwards-compatible Python 2.6 and 2.7.[31]
Python is a multi-paradigm programming language: object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and there are a number of language features which support functional programming and aspect-oriented programming (including by metaprogramming[32] and by magic methods).[33] Many other paradigms are supported using extensions, including design by contract[34][35] and logic programming.[36]
Python uses dynamic typing and a combination of reference counting and a cycle-detecting garbage collector for memory management. An important feature of Python is dynamic name resolution (late binding), which binds method and variable names during program execution.
The design of Python offers only limited support for functional programming in the Lisp tradition. The language has map(), reduce() and filter() functions; comprehensions for lists, dictionaries, and sets; as well as generator expressions.[37] The standard library has two modules (itertools and functools) that implement functional tools borrowed from Haskell and Standard ML.[38]
The core philosophy of the language is summarized by the document "PEP 20 (The Zen of Python)", which includes aphorisms such as:[39]
Rather than requiring all desired functionality to be built into the language's core, Python was designed to be highly extensible. Python can also be embedded in existing applications that need a programmable interface. This design of a small core language with a large standard library and an easily extensible interpreter was intended by Van Rossum from the very start because of his frustrations with ABC (which espoused the opposite mindset).[25]
While offering choice in coding methodology, the Python philosophy rejects exuberant syntax, such as in Perl, in favor of a sparser, less-cluttered grammar. As Alex Martelli put it: "To describe something as clever is not considered a compliment in the Python culture."[40] Python's philosophy rejects the Perl "there is more than one way to do it" approach to language design in favor of "there should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it".[39]
Python's developers strive to avoid premature optimization, and moreover, reject patches to non-critical parts of CPython which would offer a marginal increase in speed at the cost of clarity.[41] When speed is important, Python programmers use PyPy, a just-in-time compiler, or move time-critical functions to extension modules written in languages such as C. Cython is also available which translates a Python script into C and makes direct C level API calls into the Python interpreter.
An important goal of the Python developers is making Python fun to use. This is reflected in the origin of the name which comes from Monty Python,[42] and in an occasionally playful approach to tutorials and reference materials, for example using spam and eggs instead of the standard foo and bar.[43][44]
A common neologism in the Python community is pythonic, which can have a wide range of meanings related to program style. To say that code is pythonic is to say that it uses Python idioms well, that it is natural or shows fluency in the language, that it conforms with Python's minimalist philosophy and emphasis on readability. In contrast, code that is difficult to understand or reads like a rough transcription from another programming language is called unpythonic.
Users and admirers of Python—most especially those considered knowledgeable or experienced—are often referred to as Pythonists, Pythonistas, and Pythoneers.[45][46]
Python is intended to be a highly readable language. It is designed to have an uncluttered visual layout, frequently using English keywords where other languages use punctuation. Furthermore, Python has a smaller number of syntactic exceptions and special cases than C or Pascal.[47]
Python uses whitespace indentation, rather than curly braces or keywords, to delimit blocks; this feature is also termed the off-side rule. An increase in indentation comes after certain statements; a decrease in indentation signifies the end of the current block.[48]
Python's statements include (among others):
statement, which conditionally executes a block of code, along with else
and elif
(a contraction of else-if).for
statement, which iterates over an iterable object, capturing each element to a local variable for use by the attached block.while
statement, which executes a block of code as long as its condition is true.try
statement, which allows exceptions raised in its attached code block to be caught and handled by except
clauses; it also ensures that clean-up code in a finally
block will always be run regardless of how the block exits.class
statement, which executes a block of code and attaches its local namespace to a class, for use in object-oriented programming.def
statement, which defines a function or method.with
statement (from Python 2.5), which encloses a code block within a context manager (for example, acquiring a lock before the block of code is run and releasing the lock afterwards, or opening a file and then closing it), allowing RAII-like behavior.pass
statement, which serves as a NOP. It is syntactically needed to create an empty code block.assert
statement, used during debugging to check for conditions that ought to apply.yield
statement, which returns a value from a generator function. From Python 2.5, yield
is also an operator. This form is used to implement coroutines.import
statement, which is used to import modules whose functions or variables can be used in the current program.print()
was changed to a function in Python 3.[49]Python does not support tail-call optimization or first-class continuations, and, according to Guido van Rossum, it never will.[50][51] However, better support for coroutine-like functionality is provided in 2.5, by extending Python's generators.[52] Prior to 2.5, generators were lazy iterators; information was passed unidirectionally out of the generator. As of Python 2.5, it is possible to pass information back into a generator function, and as of Python 3.3, the information can be passed through multiple stack levels.[53]
Python expressions are similar to languages such as C and Java:
compares by value, in contrast to Java, where it compares by reference. (Value comparisons in Java use the equals()
method.) Python's is
operator may be used to compare object identities (comparison by reference). Comparisons may be chained, for example a <= b <= c
, or
, not
for its boolean operators rather than the symbolic &&
, ||
, !
used in Java and C.x if c else y
[54] (different in order of operands from the ?:
operator common to many other languages).[1, 2, 3]
, are mutable, and cannot be used as the keys of dictionaries (dictionary keys must be immutable in Python). Tuples are written as (1, 2, 3)
, are immutable and thus can be used as the keys of dictionaries, provided all elements of the tuple are immutable. The parentheses around the tuple are optional in some contexts. Tuples can appear on the left side of an equal sign; hence a statement like x, y = y, x
can be used to swap two variables.%
. This functions analogous to printf
format strings in C, e.g. "foo=%s bar=%d" % ("blah", 2)
evaluates to "foo=blah bar=2"
. In Python 3 and 2.6+, this was supplemented by the format()
method of the str
class, e.g. "foo={0} bar={1}".format("blah", 2)
) as an escape character and there is no implicit string interpolation such as "$foo"
. No escape sequences are interpreted; hence raw strings are useful where literal backslashes are common, such as regular expressions and Windows-style paths. Compare "@
-quoting" in C#.a[key]
, a[start:stop]
or a[start:stop:step]
. Indexes are zero-based, and negative indexes are relative to the end. Slices take elements from the start index up to, but not including, the stop index. The third slice parameter, called step or stride, allows elements to be skipped and reversed. Slice indexes may be omitted, for example a[:]
returns a copy of the entire list. Each element of a slice is a shallow copy.In Python, a distinction between expressions and statements is rigidly enforced, in contrast to languages such as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Ruby. This leads to some duplication of functionality. For example:
vs. exec()
built-in functions (in Python 2, exec
is a statement); the former is for expressions, the latter is for statements.Statements cannot be a part of an expression and so list and other comprehensions or lambda expressions, all being expressions, cannot contain statements. A particular case of this is that an assignment statement such as a = 1
cannot form part of the conditional expression of a conditional statement. This has the advantage of avoiding a classic C error of mistaking an assignment operator =
for an equality operator ==
in conditions: if (c = 1) { ... }
is valid C code but if c = 1: ...
causes a syntax error in Python.
Methods on objects are functions attached to the object's class; the syntax instance.method(argument)
is, for normal methods and functions, syntactic sugar for Class.method(instance, argument)
. Python methods have an explicit self
parameter to access instance data, in contrast to the implicit self
(or this
) in some other object-oriented programming languages (e.g. C++, Java, Objective-C, or Ruby).[55]
Python uses duck typing and has typed objects but untyped variable names. Type constraints are not checked at compile time; rather, operations on an object may fail, signifying that the given object is not of a suitable type. Despite being dynamically typed, Python is strongly typed, forbidding operations that are not well-defined (for example, adding a number to a string) rather than silently attempting to make sense of them.
Python allows programmers to define their own types using classes, which are most often used for object-oriented programming. New instances of classes are constructed by calling the class (for example, SpamClass()
or EggsClass()
), and the classes themselves are instances of the metaclass type
(itself an instance of itself), allowing metaprogramming and reflection.
Prior to version 3.0, Python had two kinds of classes: "old-style" and "new-style".[56] Old-style classes were eliminated in Python 3.0, making all classes new-style. In versions between 2.2 and 3.0, both kinds of classes could be used. The syntax of both styles is the same, the difference being whether the class object
is inherited from, directly or indirectly (all new-style classes inherit from object
and are instances of type

Python has the usual C arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, %). It also has ** for exponentiation, e.g. 5**3 == 125
and 9**.5 == 3.0
The behavior of division has changed significantly over time.[58]
7 / 3 == 2
and -7 / 3 == -2
.7 / 3 == 2
and -7 / 3 == -3
. The floor division // operator is introduced. So 7 // 3 == 2
, -7 // 3 == -3
, 7.5 // 3 == 2.0
and -7.5 // 3 == -3.0
. Adding from __future__ import division
causes a module to use Python 3.0 rules for division (see next).Rounding towards negative infinity, though different from most languages, adds consistency. For instance, it means that the equation (a+b) // b == a // b + 1
is always true. It also means that the equation b * (a // b) + a % b == a
is valid for both positive and negative values of a
. However, maintaining the validity of this equation means that while the result of a % b
is, as expected, in the half-open interval [0,b), where b
is a positive integer, it has to lie in the interval (b,0] when b
is negative.[59]
Python provides a round
function for rounding floats to integers. Versions before 3 use round-away-from-zero: round(0.5)
is 1.0, round(-0.5)
is −1.0.[60] Python 3 uses round-to-even: round(1.5)
is 2, round(2.5)
is 2.[61] The Decimal
type/class in module decimal
(since version 2.4) provides exact numerical representation and several rounding modes.
Python allows boolean expressions with multiple equality relations in a manner that is consistent with general usage in mathematics. For example, the expression a < b < c
tests whether a
is less than b
and b
is less than c
. C-derived languages interpret this expression differently: in C, the expression would first evaluate a < b
, resulting in 0 or 1, and that result would then be compared with c
.[62][page needed]
Due to Python's extensive mathematics library, it is frequently used as a scientific scripting language to aid in problems such as data processing and manipulation.
Python has a large standard library, commonly cited as one of Python's greatest strengths,[63] providing tools suited to many tasks. This is deliberate and has been described as a "batteries included"[23] Python philosophy. For Internet-facing applications, a large number of standard formats and protocols (such as MIME and HTTP) are supported. Modules for creating graphical user interfaces, connecting to relational databases, pseudorandom number generators, arithmetic with arbitrary precision decimals,[64] manipulating regular expressions, and doing unit testing are also included.
Some parts of the standard library are covered by specifications (for example, the WSGI implementation wsgiref
follows PEP 333[65]), but the majority of the modules are not. They are specified by their code, internal documentation, and test suite (if supplied). However, because most of the standard library is cross-platform Python code, there are only a few modules that must be altered or completely rewritten by alternative implementations.
The standard library is not essential to run Python or embed Python within an application. Blender 2.49, for instance, omits most of the standard library.
As of January 2015, the Python Package Index, the official repository of third-party software for Python, contains more than 54,000 packages offering a wide range of functionality, including:
Most Python implementations (including CPython) can function as a command line interpreter, for which the user enters statements sequentially and receives the results immediately (REPL). In short, Python acts as a shell.
Other shells add capabilities beyond those in the basic interpreter, including IDLE and IPython. While generally following the visual style of the Python shell, they implement features like auto-completion, retention of session state, and syntax highlighting.
In addition to standard desktop Python IDEs (integrated development environments), there are also browser-based IDEs, Sage (intended for developing science and math-related Python programs), and a browser-based IDE and hosting environment, PythonAnywhere.
The main Python implementation, named CPython, is written in C meeting the C89 standard.[66] It compiles Python programs into intermediate bytecode,[67] which is executed by the virtual machine.[68] CPython is distributed with a large standard library written in a mixture of C and Python. It is available in versions for many platforms, including Microsoft Windows and most modern Unix-like systems. CPython was intended from almost its very conception to be cross-platform.[69]
PyPy is a fast, compliant[70] interpreter of Python 2.7 and 3.2. Its just-in-time compiler brings a significant speed improvement over CPython.[71] A version taking advantage of multi-core processors using software transactional memory is being created.[72]
Stackless Python is a significant fork of CPython that implements microthreads; it does not use the C memory stack, thus allowing massively concurrent programs. PyPy also has a stackless version.[73]
Other just-in-time compilers have been developed in the past, but are now unsupported:
In 2005, Nokia released a Python interpreter for the Series 60 mobile phones called PyS60. It includes many of the modules from the CPython implementations and some additional modules for integration with the Symbian operating system. This project has been kept up to date to run on all variants of the S60 platform and there are several third party modules available. The Nokia N900 also supports Python with GTK widget libraries, with the feature that programs can be both written and run on the device itself.[citation needed]
There are several compilers to high-level object languages, with either unrestricted Python, a restricted subset of Python, or a language similar to Python as the source language:
A performance comparison of various Python implementations on a non-numerical (combinatorial) workload was presented at EuroSciPy '13.[75]
Python's development is conducted largely through the Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) process. The PEP process is the primary mechanism for proposing major new features, for collecting community input on an issue, and for documenting the design decisions that have gone into Python.[76] Outstanding PEPs are reviewed and commented upon by the Python community and by Van Rossum, the Python project's BDFL.[76]
Enhancement of the language goes along with development of the CPython reference implementation. The mailing list python-dev is the primary forum for discussion about the language's development; specific issues are discussed in the Roundup bug tracker maintained at python.org.[77] Development takes place on a self-hosted source code repository running Mercurial.[78]
CPython's public releases come in three types, distinguished by which part of the version number is incremented:
A number of alpha, beta, and release-candidates are also released as previews and for testing before the final release is made. Although there is a rough schedule for each release, this is often pushed back if the code is not ready. The development team monitor the state of the code by running the large unit test suite during development, and using the BuildBot continuous integration system.[81]
The community of Python developers has also contributed over 54,000 software modules (as of January 2015) to the Python Package Index (called pypi), the official repository of third-party libraries for Python.
The major academic conference on Python is named PyCon. There are special mentoring programmes like the Pyladies.
Python's name is derived from the television series Monty Python's Flying Circus,[82] and it is common to use Monty Python references in example code.[83] For example, the metasyntactic variables often used in Python literature are spam and eggs, instead of the traditional foo and bar.[83][84] As well as this, the official Python documentation often contains various obscure Monty Python references.
The prefix Py- is used to show that something is related to Python. Examples of the use of this prefix in names of Python applications or libraries include Pygame, a binding of SDL to Python (commonly used to create games); PyS60, an implementation for the Symbian S60 operating system; PyQt and PyGTK, which bind Qt and GTK, respectively, to Python; and PyPy, a Python implementation written in Python.
Since 2008, Python has consistently ranked in the top eight most popular programming languages as measured by the TIOBE Programming Community Index.[17] It is the third most popular language whose grammatical syntax is not predominantly based on C, e.g. C++, C#, Objective-C, Java. Python does borrow heavily, however, from the expression and statement syntax of C, making it easier for C programmers to transition between languages.
An empirical study found scripting languages (such as Python) more productive than conventional languages (such as C and Java) for a programming problem involving string manipulation and search in a dictionary. Memory consumption was often "better than Java and not much worse than C or C++".[85]
Large organizations that make use of Python include Google,[86] Yahoo!,[87] CERN,[88] NASA,[89] and some smaller ones like ILM,[90] and ITA.[91]
Python can serve as a scripting language for web applications, e.g., via mod wsgi for the Apache web server.[92] With Web Server Gateway Interface, a standard API has evolved to facilitate these applications. Web application frameworks like Django, Pylons, Pyramid, TurboGears, web2py, Tornado, Flask and Zope support developers in the design and maintenance of complex applications. Pyjamas and IronPython can be used to develop the client-side of Ajax-based applications. SQLAlchemy can be used as data mapper to a relational database. Twisted is a framework to program communications between computers, and is used (for example) by Dropbox.
Libraries like NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib allow the effective use of Python in scientific computing,[93][94] with specialized libraries such as BioPython and Astropy providing domain-specific functionality. Sage is a mathematical software with a "notebook" programmable in Python: its library covers many aspects of mathematics, including algebra, combinatorics, numerical mathematics, number theory, and calculus.
Python has been successfully embedded in a number of software products as a scripting language, including in finite element method software such as Abaqus, 3D animation packages such as 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, Lightwave, Houdini, Maya, modo, MotionBuilder, Softimage, the visual effects compositor Nuke, 2D imaging programs like GIMP,[95] Inkscape, Scribus and Paint Shop Pro,[96] and musical notation program or scorewriter capella. GNU Debugger uses Python as a pretty printer to show complex structures such as C++ containers. Esri promotes Python as the best choice for writing scripts in ArcGIS.[97] It has also been used in several video games,[98][99] and has been adopted as first of the three available programming languages in Google App Engine, the other two being Java and Go.[100]
Python has also been used in artificial intelligence tasks.[101][102][103][104] As a scripting language with module architecture, simple syntax and rich text processing tools, Python is often used for natural language processing tasks.[105]
Many operating systems include Python as a standard component; the language ships with most Linux distributions, AmigaOS 4, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and OS X, and can be used from the terminal. A number of Linux distributions use installers written in Python: Ubuntu uses the Ubiquity installer, while Red Hat Linux and Fedora use the Anaconda installer. Gentoo Linux uses Python in its package management system, Portage.
Python has also seen extensive use in the information security industry, including in exploit development.[106][107]
Most of the Sugar software for the One Laptop per Child XO, now developed at Sugar Labs, is written in Python.[108]
The Raspberry Pi single-board computer project has adopted Python as its principal user-programming language.
LibreOffice included Python and intends to replace Java with Python. Python Scripting Provider is a core feature[109] since Version 4.0 from 7 February 2013.
Python's design and philosophy have influenced several programming languages, including:
Python's development practices have also been emulated by other languages. The practice of requiring a document describing the rationale for, and issues surrounding, a change to the language (in Python's case, a PEP) is also used in Tcl[119] and Erlang[120] because of Python's influence.
Python has been awarded a TIOBE Programming Language of the Year award twice (in 2007 and 2010), which is given to the language with the greatest growth in popularity over the course of a year, as measured by the TIOBE index.[121]
even though the design of C is far from ideal, its influence on Python is considerable.
It is a mixture of the class mechanisms found in C++ and Modula-3
The C3 method itself has nothing to do with Python, since it was invented by people working on Dylan and it is described in a paper intended for lispers
The Swift language is the product of tireless effort from a team of language experts, documentation gurus, compiler optimization ninjas, and an incredibly important internal dogfooding group who provided feedback to help refine and battle-test ideas. Of course, it also greatly benefited from the experiences hard-won by many other languages in the field, drawing ideas from Objective-C, Rust, Haskell, Ruby, Python, C#, CLU, and far too many others to list.
Python is a very expressive language, which means that we can usually write far fewer lines of Python code than would be required for an equivalent application written in, say, C++ or Java
As you may know, EVE has at its core the programming language known as Stackless Python.
we created three levels of tools ... The next level offers Python and XML support, letting modders with more experience manipulate the game world and everything in it.
I started work on the Swift Programming Language in July of 2010. I implemented much of the basic language structure, with only a few people knowing of its existence. A few other (amazing) people started contributing in earnest late in 2011, and it became a major focus for the Apple Developer Tools group in July 2013 [...] drawing ideas from Objective-C, Rust, Haskell, Ruby, Python, C#, CLU, and far too many others to list.

The Other Side Of The Economic Divide
One dinner at a restaurant cost NPR reporter Pam Fessler about the same as what one of her interview subjects gets for two weeks on welfare. Fessler, who reports on poverty for NPR, reflects on how much divides her and the people she covers.
Copyright © 2013 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
The government said this week that more than 46 million Americans, about one in seven, are poor. Correspondent Pam Fessler covers poverty for NPR. Recently, she's been reporting from New York and it was there that she discovered the gulf between herself and the people's whose stories she tells.
Here's her reporter's notebook.
PAM FESSLER, BYLINE: A few weeks ago, I was at a food pantry in the Bronx run by a group called Part of the Solution. People there were lined up for boxes of instant potatoes, pasta and canned food. They were only allowed so much.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: You want another applesauce?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: You'll have to put the apple back and one peach.
FESSLER: But they could get free toilet paper. Unwrapped, partially used rolls donated by New York City hotels. I watched as one elderly woman searched through a stack at the checkout counter, trying to find the biggest and least used rolls to take home.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: You're welcome. Have a nice day.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: You, too.
FESSLER: I'd stayed at a hotel the week before, and wondered was one of these toilet paper rolls mine?
The next day, my husband and I found ourselves at a place called Eataly in Manhattan. It's an over-the-top emporium of Italian food; the kind of place where it's easy to drop 200 bucks on some pasta, oil, and cheese. The aisles there were crammed with people looking for specialty items: black pesto, white pesto, pesto with truffle sauce.
The economic divide is everywhere. But in New York City it's especially stark. We also ate out that night at a restaurant. When the bill came, it was uncomfortably close to the $130 one woman told me she gets every other week from welfare - for herself and her son.
As journalists, we try to get an accurate view of what's going on in the world; asking the right questions, listening to the answers. But let's be honest: Few of us are or have ever been poor. I've always prided myself on understanding the lives of others, of being able to bridge the gap. But the older I get, the more I wonder, what am I missing? Like when I was at that Bronx food pantry? I met a woman named Marion Matthew. She's a home health aide with six children. Five of them are now adults, in their 20's and 30's. In the course of talking with me, she pointedly noted this.
MARION MATTHEW: I don't have no grandkids neither.
FESSLER: Aha, I thought. Something we have in common - no grandchildren. I was about to commiserate when, of course, it hit me. She wasn't bemoaning the fact that she has no grandkids. She was bragging about it. Her children hadn't fallen into the trap that she and many low-income women fall into - Having kids too young and too poor.
MATTHEW: How I moved out of my parent's house is I got married and I had children.
FESSLER: She told her kids they could take a different path.
MATTHEW: You can do anything you want to do. You do not have to have a baby. Sex is a beautiful thing. A baby is a lifetime worth of aggravation.
FESSLER: I was with her on that first part about doing anything you want to do. But that last part about a baby being a lifetime of aggravation? I'd never, ever tell that to my middle-class sons. I was reminded again that I, like probably most of you listening, live in one world. Marion lives another.

Jackie Elam grew up in poverty with her mother and sister, Keesha, without her father. Sharon, at that time, was a struggling single mother with Cerebral Palsy. Growing up poor gave Jackie the drive to do better and be better beyond what her foundational environment had afforded her. Despite the obvious statistical issues that grasped so many of her peers, she vowed to herself that she would get out of the hood, graduate from college, and be successful in life. By 1995 her mother got married, gave birth to her younger sister, Shakiya, and four years later gave birth to her brother, Keenen. This union gave Jackie an opportunity to finally see family structure.
Although her mother had Cerebral Palsy, she witnessed her mother's strength and dedication to get her Associates degree after giving birth to her fourth child. She did not let her disability stop her from earning her degree and working for a school for five years. Jackie got her drive from her mother!
After Jackie graduated from high school, she attended University of Houston-Downtown and graduated in August 2003 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Computer Information Systems. She graduated with a 3.2 GPA, five tenths away from being cum lade.
During her college years, Jackie modeled in hair shows, runway shows around Houston, did photo shoots in fitness calendars, did her first and only national photo shoot for Blackmen's Magazine, and had filmed two non-union movies, The Dirty 3rd: The Movie and Dirty Third 2: Home Sweet Home. After she obtained her degree, she knew Houston had nothing else to offer her and immediately began planning her move to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. By November 2003, she moved to Los Angeles by herself. Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, Jackie filmed her third non-union movie, Decisions, starring Master P and his son Romeo Miller. Five months after moving to Los Angeles, Jackie met her husband Kofi Elam.
After nine months of dating, Kofi and Jackie gave their lives to Jesus and got married. Ten years later, Jackie Elam is a proud wife and mother of two handsome and talented sons, Makhari and Kaleo. Her family is her world and her greatest accomplishment. Although she has not auditioned for a role in a movie since meeting her husband, she received way more blessings by marrying a stuntman and stunt coordinator and having sons who are actors. Jackie and her husband raise their sons to have unmovable faith and trust in the Lord.
Now she is a devout wife, mother, inventor, writer, author, and motivational speaker. She has written her first eBook, Covering Your Child in the Industry Parent First & Always. She is dedicated to sharing positive advice on why her two sons are successful actors and models, and how parents should respond to this Industry. She hopes to one day get her products on shelves and her shows on TV. It will be done!

The adenomatous polyposis coli gene (APC) is a tumor suppressor gene that is inactivated in most colorectal cancers. Mutations of APC cause aberrant accumulation of beta-catenin, which then binds T cell factor-4 (Tcf-4), causing increased transcriptional activation of unknown genes. Here, the c-MYC oncogene is identified as a target gene in this signaling pathway. Expression of c-MYC was shown to be repressed by wild-type APC and activated by beta-catenin, and these effects were mediated through Tcf-4 binding sites in the c-MYC promoter. These results provide a molecular framework for understanding the previously enigmatic overexpression of c-MYC in colorectal cancers.

Need Help With These TriodeDick Preamp Scematics
Hey Guys,
Im Looking to build this Preamp "The Classic One" From Triode Dicks Webpage, It seemed to me that there was something missing from the scematics IE: Some of the resistors are not even labled to what wattage rating they should be, or what type. Is P3 Log Or Linear? On the power supple schematic there is a transformer winding at the bottom that is there, but doesnt seem to be connected to anything? Is it even used? Is there anything else ive missed? Its probably all obvious to a more experienced eye, but id rather be over carefull than ignorant Thanks for your help |

P3 is a log pot. The apparently unused winding powers another identical filament regulator for the other channel.

There is enough information there to calculate the dissipation in each resistor. Then just pick a bigger resistor. 0.5W or 1W will do. Type does not matter too much.
The first stage is actually an active load circuit, but drawn to look like an SRPP - presumably for reasons of fashion. An SRPP with no load (a CF is effectively no load) is identical to an active load. Voltage gain will be half mu, so probably too much for a line stage. |

Thats what baffled me, because these plans are for one channel each, if you see the PDF file of the build on his webage, he has two power transformers, one for each channel. Id assume he would use the other windings from the other transformer, as opposed to taking from this one? |
