8.4: Scientific Notation
Learning Objectives
- Write numbers in scientific notation.
- Evaluate expressions in scientific notation.
- Evaluate expressions in scientific notation using a graphing calculator.
Consider the number six hundred and forty three thousand, two hundred and ninety seven. We write it as 643,297 and each digit's position has a "value" assigned to it. You may have seen a table like this before:
We've seen that when we write an exponent above a number, it means that we have to multiply a certain number of copies of that number together. We've also seen that a zero exponent always gives us 1, and negative exponents give us fractional answers.
Look carefully at the table above. Do you notice that all the column headings are powers of ten? Here they are listed:
Even the "units" column is really just a power of ten. Unit means 1, and 1 is .
If we divide 643,297 by 100,000 we get 6.43297; if we multiply 6.43297 by 100,000 we get 643, 297. But we have just seen that 100,000 is the same as , so if we multiply 6.43297 by we should also get 643,297. In other words,
Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation
In scientific notation, numbers are always written in the form , where is an integer and is between 1 and 10 (that is, it has exactly 1 nonzero digit before the decimal). This notation is especially useful for numbers that are either very small or very large.
Here's a set of examples:
Look at the first example and notice where the decimal point is in both expressions.
So the exponent on the ten acts to move the decimal point over to the right. An exponent of 4 moves it 4 places and an exponent of 3 would move it 3 places.
This makes sense because each time you multiply by 10, you move the decimal point one place to the right. 1.07 times 10 is 10.7, times 10 again is 107.0, and so on.
Similarly, if you look at the later examples in the table, you can see that a negative exponent on the 10 means the decimal point moves that many places to the left. This is because multiplying by is the same as multiplying by , which is like dividing by 10. So instead of moving the decimal point one place to the right for every multiple of 10, we move it one place to the left for every multiple of .
That's how to convert numbers from scientific notation to standard form. When we're converting numbers to scientific notation, however, we have to apply the whole process backwards. First we move the decimal point until it's immediately after the first nonzero digit; then we count how many places we moved it. If we moved it to the left, the exponent on the 10 is positive; if we moved it to the right, it's negative.
So, for example, to write 0.000032 in scientific notation, we'd first move the decimal five places to the right to get 3.2; then, since we moved it right, the exponent on the 10 should be negative five, so the number in scientific notation is .
You can double-check whether you've got the right direction by comparing the number in scientific notation with the number in standard form, and thinking "Does this represent a big number or a small number?" A positive exponent on the 10 represents a number bigger than 10 and a negative exponent represents a number smaller than 10, and you can easily tell if the number in standard form is bigger or smaller than 10 just by looking at it.
For more practice, try the online tool at http://hotmath.com/util/hm_flash_movie.html?movie=/learning_activities/interactivities/sciNotation.swf. Click the arrow buttons to move the decimal point until the number in the middle is written in proper scientific notation, and see how the exponent changes as you move the decimal point.
Example 1
Write the following numbers in scientific notation.
a) 63
b) 9,654
c) 653,937,000
d) 0.003
e) 0.000056
f) 0.00005007
Evaluating Expressions in Scientific Notation
When we are faced with products and quotients involving scientific notation, we need to remember the rules for exponents that we learned earlier. It's relatively straightforward to work with scientific notation problems if you remember to combine all the powers of 10 together. The following examples illustrate this.
Example 2
Evaluate the following expressions and write your answer in scientific notation.
The key to evaluating expressions involving scientific notation is to group the powers of 10 together and deal with them separately.
a) . But isn't in proper scientific notation, because it has more than one digit before the decimal point. We need to move the decimal point one more place to the left and add 1 to the exponent, which gives us .
When we use scientific notation in the real world, we often round off our calculations. Since we're often dealing with very big or very small numbers, it can be easier to round off so that we don't have to keep track of as many digits—and scientific notation helps us with that by saving us from writing out all the extra zeros. For example, if we round off 4,227, 457,903 to 4,200,000,000, we can then write it in scientific notation as simply .
When rounding, we often talk of significant figures or significant digits. Significant figures include
- all nonzero digits
- all zeros that come before a nonzero digit and after either a decimal point or another nonzero digit
For example, the number 4000 has one significant digit; the zeros don't count because there's no nonzero digit after them. But the number 4000.5 has five significant digits: the 4, the 5, and all the zeros in between. And the number 0.003 has three significant digits: the 3 and the two zeros that come between the 3 and the decimal point.
Example 3
Evaluate the following expressions. Round to 3 significant figures and write your answer in scientific notation.
It's easier if we convert to fractions and THEN separate out the powers of 10.
Note that we have to leave in the final zero to indicate that the result has been rounded.
Evaluate Expressions in Scientific Notation Using a Graphing Calculator
All scientific and graphing calculators can use scientific notation, and it's very useful to know how.
To insert a number in scientific notation, use the [EE] button. This is [2nd] [,] on some TI models.
For example, to enter , enter 2.6 [EE] 5. When you hit [ENTER] the calculator displays 2.6E5 if it's set in Scientific mode, or 260000 if it's set in Normal mode.
(To change the mode, press the 'Mode' key.)
Example 4
Evaluate using a graphing calculator.
Enter 2.3 [EE] [EE] - 10 and press [ENTER].
The calculator displays 6.296296296E16 whether it's in Normal mode or Scientific mode. That's because the number is so big that even in Normal mode it won't fit on the screen. The answer displayed instead isn't the precisely correct answer; it's rounded off to 10 significant figures.
Since it's a repeating decimal, though, we can write it more efficiently and more precisely as .
Example 5
Evaluate using a graphing calculator.
Enter (4.5 [EE] and press [ENTER].
The calculator displays 9.1125E43. The answer is .
Solve Real-World Problems Using Scientific Notation
Example 6
The mass of a single lithium atom is approximately one percent of one millionth of one billionth of one billionth of one kilogram. Express this mass in scientific notation.
We know that a percent is , and so our calculation for the mass (in kg) is:
Next we use the product of powers rule we learned earlier:
The mass of one lithium atom is approximately .
Example 7
You could fit about 3 million . coli bacteria on the head of a pin. If the size of the pin head in question is , calculate the area taken up by one . coli bacterium. Express your answer in scientific notation
Since we need our answer in scientific notation, it makes sense to convert 3 million to that format first:
Next we need an expression involving our unknown, the area taken up by one bacterium. Call this .
Isolate :
The area of one bacterium is .
(Notice that we had to move the decimal point over one place to the right, subtracting 1 from the exponent on the 10.)

Did you ever feed city birds by hand? They may be wary, but they know what's going on, and will come get the food as soon as they feel safe.
Did you ever try to feed country birds? They have no idea what you are doing. "Whoa, this guy is throwing junk at us!"
Taking food from another creature is not an "instinct" that birds have. They learn it.

Luis Suarez signs new long-term Liverpool deal
Luis Suarez has signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with Liverpool.
The striker, 26, joined the Reds in January 2011 and has scored 17 goals in 11 Premier League starts this season.
Suarez, whose original deal was set to expire in 2016, will earn around £160,000 until the end of this season and then £200,000 per week over the final four years of the contract.
"I am delighted to have agreed a new deal with Liverpool and have my future secured for the long term," he said.
Luis at Liverpool
2011: January - Liverpool agree a deal worth up to £22.8m with Ajax for Suarez
February - Scores on his Liverpool debut as the Reds beat Stoke 2-0
December - The Football Association bans Suarez for eight matches and fines him £40,000 after he was charged with racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra
2012: February - Suarez appears to refuse to shake Evra's hand on his return to Liverpool's first XI. He goes on to score in the Reds' 2-1 loss to Manchester United
August - Agrees a new long-term deal at Liverpool
2013: April - Receives a 10-game ban from an independent regulatory commission for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in a match on 21 April
September: Returns from his 10-match ban in a League Cup tie at Manchester United
December: Scores twice against Tottenham to take his tally to 17 goals in 12 games for the season
"I believe I can achieve the ambitions of winning trophies and playing at the very highest level with Liverpool. My aim is to help get us there as quickly as possible."
Suarez admitted his close bond with Liverpool's fans was an important factor in his decision, particularly their backing during his 10-match ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic earlier this year.
He told Liverpool TV: "I love the city and the supporters. They have helped me and I try my best on the pitch.
"It was a difficult time after the summer, but they helped me come back and play and I think when supporters help you off the pitch you try your best to make them happy on the pitch."
He also revealed that manager Brendan Rodgers played an influential role in persuading him to pledge his immediate future to Liverpool.
"He was very important. When you have confidence with the manager you can try your best," he said.
"When the team is together and you are happy in the dressing room, that makes me happy."
Suarez's relationship with leading figures at Anfield has improved significantly since he attempted to force a move to Arsenal in the summer.
The Gunners made two bids for the Uruguay international, including a club-record offer of £40m plus £1 in an attempt to trigger a release clause in his contract.
Both were rejected, with Liverpool boss Rodgers accusing Arsenal of "playing games".
Suarez was considering submitting a formal transfer request and also the possibility of court action if the dispute was not resolved as he believed the second bid triggered a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave the Anfield club.
Suarez was initially made to train alone during pre-season, but returned to the first-team fold on 16 August after talks with Rodgers.
"This is fantastic news for everyone associated with the club; the team, the owners and most importantly the supporters," Rodgers said on Liverpool's official website.
"Luis is a world-class talent and securing his services is crucial for what we are trying to achieve here.
"What's most important and most exciting is that, at just 26 years old, his best years are still ahead of him and we now know we'll be seeing him reach that potential in a Liverpool shirt."
Suarez's time at Liverpool has often been controversial and he has previously been handed handed two long-term bans.
He was banned for eight games in December 2011 for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra before receiving his 10-match ban in April for the incident with Ivanovic.

Ford Lets Parents Control Kids' Cars
Since the dawn of time, parents have shaken their fists at misbehaving teenagers who careen around town whilst enjoying the freedom of the open road. Ford [F] is seeking to change that dynamic and come to many a parent's aid. In the process, they'll be making driving an irritating hell for restless kids.
Ford's new MyKey system has several features, but the flagship is a speed governor that limits vehicles to 80MPH. In addition, the system can chime when the car reaches 45, 55 and 65MPH, to warn drivers that they're speeding up. This blogger is under the impression that those chimes won't do much except keep kids from braking, so that they don't have to hear the chime every time their speed fluctuates.
And no, they can't just turn up the radio to drown out the chime; the MyKey system also lets parents set volume limits on the sound system. More usefully, it will chirp when you're 75 miles from an empty gas tank, and when seatbelts aren't buckled.
MyKey will debut on the 2010 Ford Focus model; watch out for road-raging high schoolers one these cars are on the road.

Is this really happening? I think this is exerting too much control. Just because they are kids doesn't mean you have the right to infringe on there lives, no?
I would've hated and resented my parents if they did this to me.

Tom of Finland: Early Work 1944 – 1972Erotica // Wednesday, January 21, 2015
Touko Laaksonen a.k.a. Tom of Finland (1920 – 1991) is widely regarded as one of the 20th century's most influential artists for his revolutionary representation of the male figure. His drawings of fantastically muscled men engrossed in acts of homoerotic desire comprise one of the most inventive portrayals of the human body in modern times. These pictures of gay men as virile, confident, and unashamed–equally radical for their near-illicit, underground distribution–originated an empowering queer iconography and liberating spirit that increasingly inspires popular culture.
Tom of FinlandErotica // Monday, November 14, 2011
Tom of Finland, also known as Touko Laaksonen, is an artist that wonderfully renders the maximized genitalia of the male form. His graphite illustrations portray the homosexual culture through their muscle-toned physique.

The gusher has ended, but before it did, an estimated 206 million gallons of crude oil and methane gas escaped from the Macondo well in lease block Mississippi Canyon 252. We know it better as the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill that resulted from a series of mechanical and safety failures leading to an explosion, the deaths of 11 workers, and the largest accidental oil spill in history. The well was in the northern Gulf of Mexico in 1500 m of water, not the deepest in this petroleum production frontier, but in an otherwise blue-water, pristine ocean home to deepwater corals and pods of sperm whales, and one of two spawning areas for Atlantic bluefin tuna. Satellite images of black oil at the surface marred this picture as the oil continued to spew from the ocean bottom and spread into the northern Gulf of Mexico. Innumerable lives were affected—from microbes to humans—and the world was transfixed by the continuous images of oil and gas blowing from the Gulf bottom while technology raced to catch up with Mother Nature.
In addition to being the center for oil and gas production in the United States, the northern Gulf of Mexico provides essential resources and services to the region and the nation: transportation, marine fisheries, tourism, recreation, and shipping and navigation. But the focused resource use by so many sectors has not come without cost. Although the region has been altered many times by natural forces, in modern times, human activities have reshaped the delta and degraded water quality, causing major losses of wetlands and creating the largest hypoxic zone in the United States. When the spill began in spring 2010, water-quality problems from excess nutrients already existed, triggering a world-class "dead zone" that expanded in size and severity throughout the summer. The immediate and dramatic insult inflicted by the spill's intensity garnered global attention, highlighting not only the spill but the many existing stressors that already threatened this valuable ecosystem.

Pennsylvania trial attorneys were the largest listed contributor to a political action committee whose $10,000 in 11th-hour mailers opposing a York County candidate have led to allegations of political sabotage and an election law complaint.
LAWPAC, the Pennsylvania Association for Justice's bipartisan PAC, contributed $3,500 to "PA Taxpayers for Integrity," the group that sent mailers opposing conservative Republican Marc Woerner's bid for the 169th House seat in the Hanover area.
Woerner has filed a complaint with the state Department of State, alleging PA Taxpayers for Integrity violated state election law because it was not a registered PAC in the days before the May 20 primary, when the negative mailers were sent. He said he believes the mailers cost him the election, which Kate Klunk won.
Klunk, an attorney, said she's not a member of LAWPAC and hadn't ever heard of the group. She didn't know anything about the origination of the mailers, she said.
She said there's "no place for outside groups to come in and influence elections" locally, and "I believe that I won through very, very hard work, knocking on doors."
In papers filed with the state, PA Taxpayers for Integrity didn't list a candidate it was being founded to support, checking instead that it was "opposed' to Mark (sic) Woerner.
PA Taxpayers for Integrity filed an independent expenditure report showing the $9,994.59 it spent on the mailers was "on their own and was not coordinated with a candidate," said Ron Ruman, press secretary for the Department of State.
According to its website, LAWPAC supports "candidates in statewide elections who believe in the advocacy system, trial by jury & tort recovery."
Calls to LAWPAC for comment were not returned.
The law: Under election law, entities must register with the state if they intend to spend money to influence the outcome of an election, Ruman said.
PA Taxpayers for Integrity filed to become a PAC on May 12.
But the May 12 filing was incomplete and the application wasn't processed, so the group wasn't registered at the time the mailers were sent, Ruman said.
"We have to go by what the law says in terms of what is needed, and their paperwork was not correct until June 11," he said.
A campaign finance report filed last week shows LAWPAC contributed $3,500 June 5 as well as a May 15 expenditure of $3,400 for direct mail from Harrisburg-based Red Maverick Media.
According to the finance report, LAWPAC was the only contributor for the period of May 12 through June 9, and PA Taxpayers for Integrity still owes Red Maverick $6,599 for the mailers.
Ruman declined to say whether the state is investigating the group, but he said information would be forwarded to a prosecuting authority if there's an investigation that yields a possible breach of law.
The group has since met its legal obligations by registering as a PAC and filing the campaign finance report, he said.
The people: Registration documents filed with the Department of State June 12 list the PAC's address as 130 W. Main St. Suit 144-129 in Collegeville, Montgomery County. The filer is listed as Maria Cusik of Southeastern, Chester County. Earlier documents list chairman as David O'Connell of Gladwyne, Montgomery County.
Neither returned calls to numbers listed. There was no response to emails sent to a gmail account provided for the group. The address is the location of a shopping center and commercial space, according to images from Google Maps.
The complaint: Woerner said he realizes an investigation won't change the result of the race, but he wants the group to be held accountable regardless because there are "still a lot of questions that need to be answered."
"Why would LAWPAC contribute $3,500 to smear and attack me?" he said. "And why would anyone from Montgomery County have any interest in a race in southwestern York County?"
He said he "never heard of" Cusik or O'Connell and he doesn't understand why the group would be opposed to him.
"We're going to keep following the money and see what shakes out," he said.
The 169th House was moved from Philadelphia to York County through redistricting, and the primary was the first York race for the district, which includes Codorus, Heidelberg, Penn, Manheim, Shrewsbury and West Manheim townships and Glen Rock, Hanover, New Freedom, Jefferson and Railroad boroughs.

UHV graduate student Angela Stewart recently received a travel grant to attend the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges' annual meeting Dec. 5-10 in Atlanta. On the event's second day, the schedule includes an event with President Barack Obama.
"I was so surprised when I saw that; I couldn't really believe it," she said as she laughed. "I hope he really is there."
The commission is the accrediting body for higher education institutions in the 11-state Southern region, which includes Texas. SACS will visit UHV for a reaccreditation review in April.
Throughout the SACS annual meeting, Stewart will gain insider information about retaining students, online courses, certification issues and more.
"That knowledge will be really helpful," said Stewart, who hopes to teach at the community college level. "My goal is to keep moving up, keep learning. This conference is a great chance to network."
Stewart, a 32-year-old Victoria native, graduated from Stroman High School in 1999. She went on to attend the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she earned a bachelor's degree in sociology.
When it was time to look into graduate programs, she said a couple of factors led her to UHV. Not only did she need to take online classes, but she also was looking for a school that offered a higher education degree with18 credit hours in instruction. That way, she would be able to teach.
Two semesters in, Stewart said she made the right choice. Not only does she enjoy her classes, but she said they're more than just learning from a book. Her instructors are preparing her for the actual experiences she might encounter in the field.
"When we do our papers or assignments, they're all about getting us to think about how to handle situations if we were a dean or director," Stewart explained. "They're things we need to know – preparing us for real-life experiences."
Stewart balances full-time work with San Antonio's Alamo Colleges, a part-time course load with UHV and her most important priority, her 8-year-old daughter. While it makes for a hectic schedule, Stewart said she's made it work.
She encouraged other students, especially those taking online classes, to stay on target.
"You don't have a teacher telling you when things are due or to be sure to finish," she said. "It's all about time management and having that focus. You have to be dedicated."
I am a Jaguar is an online feature highlighting the exceptional students who attend the University of Houston-Victoria. To nominate a student, email Paula Cobler , UHV director of marketing and communications, or call her at 361-570-4350.
The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to more than 65 bachelor's and master's degree
programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face
classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend and Harris counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its
founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.

RICHMOND, Ky. (WKYT) - We're learning new details about the case against a teenager charged with murder for the death of her baby sister.
17-year-old Jessica Marcum made her first court appearance Thursday in Madison County. She's being charged as an adult. Investigators say she killed her nine-month-old sister back in June.
In court Thursday, Marcum pleaded not guilty.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jennifer Smith told WKYT the charge was because Marcum smothered her baby sister. She was the sole caretaker when authorities found baby Bella Rose.
Because Marcum is 17, even though she's being tried as an adult, Kentucky State Police won't release any information on this case.
Marcum's bond is set at $100,000, but her attorneys are working to get that lowered.

True champion lost to SA cyclingComment on this story
Cape Town – South African track cyclist Jeanne Nell died in Cape Town on Tuesday night after crashing in the keirin event at the Bellville Velodrome.
Originally from Port Elizabeth but later based in Cape Town, Nell was one of the country's top track cyclists and was part of the men's sprint team attempting to qualify for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, later this year.
He was also a former national sprint, time trial and keirin champion and, in the words of cycling coach Ricky Kulsen, "one of the best sprinters South Africa has ever had – a true champion lost to South African cycling".
SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (Sascoc) president Gideon expressed his condolences.
"This time last year we were still reeling with shock at the loss of Olympic cyclist Burry Stander.
"A year later and we are again in mourning for one of our sporting fraternity. Our hearts go out to Jeanne's family, friends and love ones at this extremely sad time."
Keirin is a form of motor-paced cycle racing in which track cyclists sprint for victory following a speed-controlled start behind a motorised or non-motorised pacer. – Sapa

Hi all,
I'm struggling with a 180mm RZ lens. It looks like it is ignoring whatever speed setting is on the camera body and just firing at what I assume is 1/400th. I have tried it in on two bodies with the same results, and I have tried a different lens on the bodies which works. I guess it is an electrical problem which means the lens is reverting to its mechanical default. I've tried cleaning the contacts but nothing changes.
Interestingly I was buying a second hand lens in a shop near my office a few weeks ago and the first 2 lenses they pulled off their shelves exhibited the same behaviour.
Does anyone have any advice?

Another girl for Kardashian klanComment on this story
Kourtney Kardashian is reportedly expecting a baby girl.
The 32-year-old reality TV star announced her second pregnancy with partner Scott Disick in November, and is said to be carrying a little sister for their son Mason, two.
A source said: "Kourtney was hoping for a girl. She loves having a boy but thinks having a girl would be perfect so she can dress her up and show her the ropes in life."
Their rep would not confirm the news, but Scott has previously admitted he would love to have a daughter.
He said: "A girl would be a fantastic addition to our family."
However, things are allegedly far from rosy between the couple with claims abounding that Scott stormed out on Kourtney following a row about his partying in Las Vegas.
A second source told Life & Style magazine: "Kourtney was fuming. She told Scott not to come home. When he finally did, he quickly stormed out again - and said he was going to New York."
The report goes on to suggest that last month the pair - who split briefly back in 2009 while Kourtney, 32, was seven months pregnant with Mason - spent 11 days in January apart in different US states.
The source said: "When Scott wants to get away, he escapes to his own little bachelor pad on the Upper East Side. He's had it forever and doesn't plan to get rid of it. It's definitely not suitable for family living, though - it's a tiny apartment."
Meanwhile, Kourtney's family - including younger sisters Kim and Khloe - are said to be rallying round to comfort her.
The source said: "They know she's depressed and not happy. You can see she's in a rut." - Bang Showbiz

Jackson County authorities believe they found a man responsible for a number of burglaries in the area.
A state prison canine tracking team found 44-year-old Dennis Hines hiding underneath a vehicle this weekend. The Jackson County man has a long criminal history. He may be the suspect in a series of business burglaries and vehicle break-ins in Cottondale.
Authorities say Hines was captured shortly after setting off a burglar alarm at Register's Meat Company.
Cottondale Police Chief William Watford says Hines is being questioned in several other burglaries including a supermarket, service station and a veterinarian's office.
Chief Watford says he believes Hines committed the burglaries to support a drug habit.
Hines is charged with burglary and is being held under a $25,000 bond at the Jackson Correctional Facility.

It is just plain sad, that this had to happen. He is a sick person who needed to be off the streets a long time ago. What Paterno did not do was just awful. It was clear by his inaction that he didn't think child molestation was a crime, to him an the other A holes at Penn st. it was an "embarrassment" WRONG. it was a horrible crime.
At what point would Paterno have called the police...when his assistant coach comes runinng in and says he just saw Sandusky shoot 8 boys in the head...does he call the police then...I bet he would have.
How ironic that this wasn't just another football coach at xyz state...it was THE football coach at a well known and prestigious school for football and academics....NOT ANY MORE !!
It is too bad that people who have nothing to do with this get penalized...but thats the way it goes...I don't know if their football program will ever be the same....I don't think it will.....strong high school players who are heavily recruited can go to Auburn, Alabama, Notre Dame, Florida etc etc......I know I wouldn't go to Penn St, or let my son if he were qualified etc.
And it all could have been avoided...if Paterno when he made that call...called the police...not the athletic director.....
Then it would have been a crime that was properly handled, and penn st would have been fine....one phone call

Jerry Sandusky is really insane retired football coach! Sandusky on 40 counts of sex crimes against young boys. The indictment came after a three-year investigation that explored allegations of Sandusky having inappropriate contact with an underage boy over the course of four years, beginning when the boy was ten years old. - really a stupid man!

Portion size is the biggest thing and I found that measuring my food and paying attention to the suggested serving sizes on packaging helped me learn what a healthy meal should look like!
A big part of my success has been measuring food amounts and tracking every single thing I eat.301
Get the kids involved and you will see how much they motivate you. My kids remind me to log my food and they love to exercise with me. They even read labels while we grocery shop and make good suggestions about what to buy. They also love being able to measure food on the food scale and with the measuring cups. This has turned out to be fun and we all are enjoying our new lifestyle.341205
I tended to under-estimate food portions when I tried to "guess" at a serving. I still measure my cereal, milk & juice each morning.I read packaging for portion sizes, and use the Food Tracker.I use a "fancy china portion plate" I ordered from England for dinner - it has portions beautifully painted on it's face. A nice, elegant feel that makes portion control more fun.I hope to one day be able to "eye ball it" but for now weighing and measuring food at home is helping me alot!

PuTTy backspace

Hi all,
I am doing a console progress program in
which periodically erases old messages and prints new ones. The problem is when the program is run with PuTTy terminal (on Solaris for example) it doesn't erase the old messages so it floods the screen with text. The very problem comes from the erasing since I use backspaces - the backspace character (\b) and PuTTy is set to use different character value for backspace. This could be resolved by changing the configuration setting of PuTTy by changing the Keyboard/Backspace key option - Control-? to Control-H.
I need to know if there is any other reserved character or way for erasing characters in the console, or any way to detect programmatically what the current setting of PuTTy is so the user is not urged to check and change the configuration settings of PuTTy.
I would appreciate any advise or suggestion.

Two very important words: "curses" and "termcaps".
Termcaps is the Terminal Capabilities definition. It provides an abstraction between the user's console hardware and generic screen-mode graphical capabilities so that you don't have to code hardware dependencies into your shell scripts. Actually, I think termcaps has been superseded by a newer system, but if you search for termcaps (or display the man/info page), you'll at least be headed in the right direction.
Curses provides the ability to do text-mode cursor control while remaining hardware independent. Among the facilities that use it are the bash script output commands that do x-y positioning onscreen and the text gui dialog controls.
Every interactive terminal logged into a Linux or Unix server should carry a terminal type definition, which is how the system knows to translate the portable graphics codes to hardware-specific actions such as erase-to-end-of-line. Probably the most popular one is Dec VT-100 emulation. I think there's an option in PuTTy to set that.
An IDE is no substitute for an Intelligent Developer.
I agree. Here's the link:

"an expensive but underfunded government without any serious plan for making
revenues and expenditures match,"
"serious plan" is the key here. Neither party wants to do what is necessary. And neither party has put forth a plan to make revenue and expenditures match.
The Dems dont want to hit entitlements too hard and the GOP has vowed to NOT raise taxes one cent.
And both sides get what they really want. STALEMATE. They get status quo.
The GOP would be in a real pickle if they had the numbers to pass the Ryan budget. They are very happy voting for budgets that they know can not pass.
Fixing the budget will take massive spending cuts and modest tax increases.
The "we dont have a taxing problem, we have a spending problem" crowd has yet to show how to put that bumper sticker slogan into a solution. And, the reasonable people know it cannot be done.
If the right continues to take a NO COMPROMISE approach, nothing will change.
And the resulting non solution is worse than a bipartisan agreement.
But too many are now so hard line right that they cant see it.

Re Roland Kayser: "We need both higher taxes and lower spending. The American people don't want to hear the truth, so you we really can't blame our politicians for not telling us." Minor addition to your excellent comment we need higher tax revenues devoted solely and specifically to reduce debt. Just having increased revenues have never led either to less debt or lower spending. And, the budget for lower spending needs to be approved before revenues are in place. Otherwise, the reduced spending never will come.

Many posters are partially correct. We need more tax revenues and less
spending. Unfortunately the liberals only know of one way of generating more
revenues, and that is by raising rates. The best way to raise revenues is to
get more people working. If you liberals could figure out how to inspire the
assurance and stability in government that businesses are seeking we can get
more businesses hiring. Many CEOs of large companies state that Obama's
erratic and unpredictable nature with respect to business regulation is what
makes them not want to hire.
To "Emajor" why should conservatives compromise on something that is bad for the country. Would you have your daughter compromise her values when out on a date?

"Many CEOs of large companies state that Obama's erratic and unpredictable nature with respect to business regulation is what makes them not want to hire."
I don't buy that for one second. If there is such a problem with regulation, why are there so many companies out there making record profits? Why are these same companies still laying people off?
The answer is because they have discovered that people will put up with about anything in order to keep their job because there aren't a lot of jobs out there. Thus, work your few employees hard enough to make up for the slack. Pay them poorly, cut their benefits and then show them the door whenever you feel like picking up someone even cheaper.
Do you really think these companies are going to acknowledge that greed is their motivator? Of course not, they're going to pass the blame onto the easiest target.

So then "Joe Blow" blaming the previous administration is going to solve
the problem? Those who live in the past are doomed to die in the past. It is
time to move on to the present.
It is now time for solutions. So far, neither Congress (Democrats or Republicans) nor the Administration is willing to come up with workable solutions.
"Roland," economists and the Federal Reserve have been clearly telling us that raising taxes and lowering governmental expenditures (right now in this fragile economy) will not solve the problem. If anything, they are saying it will likely send the economy into a double-dip recession.

To "JoeBlow" and what is your point? Bush, with the help of Obama, set
into motion the public policies that kept bleeding jobs. You forget that Bush
was a Progressive, which is not a conservative.
If you look at the BLS numbers, when congress was run by Democrats, and we tried their plans there was nearly 0 job growth. Once Congress had its control split, job creation took off. Why did it happen like that?
According to some economists, the best party to control congress is neither. It is best to have congress so busy fighting with itself. With congress in continual gridlock businesses don't have to worry about much in terms of new regulation and taxes. However, Obama has found that he can use executive orders and federal agencies to bring about his agenda.
To "ThatsSoUtah" and "alt134" read "Stop Bashing Business, Mr. President" in the WSJ and "Obama Secretly Courts Big Business" in the Daily Beast. There 2 CEOs are quite clear about how Obama and his policies make them scared to expand and end up making the companies lay off employees.

"why should conservatives compromise on something that is bad for the country. Would you have your daughter compromise her values when out on a date"
Oh dear, talk about comparing apples to kumquats. It's telling that you view national fiscal policy with the same absolutism as you do your religious moral codes.
Here's the problem with that: economists can't agree on how to get the economy back on track. Some say the stimulus was necessary, others say it makes matters worse. Multiple hypotheses, and no control group with which to test them. You think the economy is ruined because of Obama's policies, but you have no idea what this economy would be like if McCain/Palin had been in office since 2008. It may have been worse. Or better. Here's the difference between you and I on this: I won't say that the economy would have been worse with a republican in office. Because, like you, I can't prove it. When you can travel back in time and change the course of the 2008 election, let me know how the economy looks during Alternate Reality 2012.

Sorry, but I've got to blabber on again. You seem to be putting a lot of faith in what CEOs think should be done. JP Morgan Chase just lost, what, perhaps $9 billion in bad investments, despite prior reassurances from its CEO that they were not engaged in risky investments? If a CEO didn't see that coming within his own company, why should I believe what some say about national economic policy?

There is a simple solution to this problem. Instead of 50% of Americans paying
taxes, lets have "all" Americans pay their fair share. Instead of
blaming each political party, let's just face the facts that both parties
are to blame for the problems we now have. Why? Well, because the average
American was "trusting" his or hers elected offical to do what should be
good for America. We were working, raising our families, paying our taxes and
the government official kept spending and spending and then it was gone.
Imangine that!
Yet, we still look to the government to fix the problem. What a foolish thought. We need the courage to force term limits, live within our means and stop expecting hand outs. Someone somewhere is paying for the handout. It is not the government. It is the people paying the taxes. The 50% taking care of all the rest that think there is a money tree in Washington. Oh yea, I forgot there is, it is called the Federal Reserve and they print fiat money. It is worth the value of the paper it is printed on. You can pay more taxes-I am taxed out.

Two years ago, Major League Baseball added a seven-day disabled list for concussions and a protocol for evaluating players, a process that is in the limelight again after Bryce Harper's frightening collision with the outfield wall Monday night at Dodger Stadium.
Preliminary tests showed that Harper had suffered no concussion, according to the Nationals and Harper's agent, Scott Boras. He had "precautionary" X-rays on his jammed left shoulder and bruised his neck and knee, according to The Post's Adam Kilgore. He received stitches because he was cut by the chain-link fence in front of the wall.
Like the NFL, NHL and other sports, MLB has protocols added because of the rising awareness of the dangers of concussions. A seven-day DL was created to allow time in which to assess head injuries.
Under the 2011 rules, each team must designate a specialist to evaluate players and umpires and send medical reports to MLB's medical director for approval before the injured player or umpire is cleared to return to the field. The seven-day DL is only for concussions.
Key components of the policy:
1. Mandatory baseline neuropsychological testing requirements for players and umpires during Spring Training, or when a player joins a club during the season, formalizing a process that most individual Clubs follow;
2. Protocols for evaluating players and umpires for a possible concussion, including during incidents typically associated with a high risk, such as being hit in the head a by a pitched, batted or thrown ball or by a bat; being in a collision with a player, umpire or fixed object; or any time when the head or neck of a player or an umpire is forcibly rotated;
3. The establishment of a seven-day disabled list for concussions, which will aim to allow concussions to clear, prevent players from returning prematurely and give clubs a full complement of players in one's absence; any player on the seven-day DL for more than 14 days will automatically and retroactively be transferred to the 15-day DL, effective with the first day of the initial placement, and with the prior 14 days applying to the initial 15-day maximum term; implemented on a trial basis for the 2011 season;
4. Protocols for clearing a concussed player or umpire to return to activity; prior to the time that a concussed player is permitted to play in any game (including Major League, Minor League or extended Spring Training games), the Club must submit a "Return to Play" form to MLB's Medical Director; submission of the form is required irrespective of whether the player was placed on the disabled list.
