This course will cover the very basic ideas in optimization. Topics include the basic theory and algorithms behind linear and integer linear programming along with some of the important applications. We will also explore the theory of convex polyhedra using linear programming.
Linear Programming (LP) is arguably one of the most important optimization problems in applied mathematics and engineering. The Simplex algorithm to solve linear programs is widely regarded as one among the "top ten" algorithms of the 20th century. Linear Programs arise in almost all fields of engineering including operations research, statistics, machine learning, control system design, scheduling, formal verification and computer vision. It forms the basis for numerous approaches to solving hard combinatorial optimization problems through randomization and approximation.
The primary goals of this course will be to:
1. Understand the basic theory behind LP, algorithms to solve LPs, and the basics of (mixed) integer programs (ILP).
2. Understand important and emerging applications of LP and ILPs to economic problems (optimal resource allocation, scheduling problems), machine learning (SVM), and combinatorial optimization problems.
At the end of the course, the successful student will be able to cast various problems that may arise in her research as optimization problems, understand the cases where the optimization problem will be linear, choose appropriate solution methods and interpret results appropriately. This is generally considered a useful ability in many research areas.
Introductory Material
Mathematical Maturity (undergraduate algorithms or CS theory) and basic programming ability.
A background in engineering or applied sciences could be useful, as well.
The prerequisites for this class include:
Textbook: Linear Programming by Robert J. Vanderbei (available online from author's webpage).
Alternative: Linear Programming by Vasek Chvatal, W.H. Freeman published, 1983. This book still remains a very clear and concise presentation.
Other texts: We may borrow material that is covered in some of the texts below. As you go down this list, the texts become less relevant for this class but remain very important for the broader field of optimization that we seek to introduce through this class.
Each class will consist of many short lecture videos between 10-15 minutes in length with nearly 1.5-2 hours of lectures each week. We will have weekly assignments involving 5-10 problems each week. These assignments will either be multiple choice or ask you to compute something and enter the answer. We will have four programming assignments (one every two weeks) that will incrementally help you build an ILP solver. Programming assignments can be done in virtually any general purpose language.
The course will be structured with two interactive tracks: algorithms/theory for linear optimization problems and applications. The applications will include ideas on modeling real-life optimization problems as linear programs and the appropriate use of concepts like duality in finding and interpreting solutions.

I thought pokescript and pksv were different, could be wrong. Anyways, the script generator in pksv should have an @start, it will be the second line. Once you've made your script you press compile and it will spit out a few offsets depending how many dynamic ones you've made. two windows will pop up, go to the one saying dynamic offsets and it will say something like
@start <-> 0x746286 (0x18 bytes) <-----this is the only offset you will put
@talk <-> 0x74629E (0x6F bytes) into advanced map
@move <-> 0x74630D (0x2 bytes)
just take 0x746286 (@start) and remove the 0x and put it into advanced map in the script offset box.
$00746286 <--- it needs a $ and the two 0s at the front
those are example offsets, yours will be different. hope i helped.

Olympus Scandal Shows Need for U.S. Standards: The Misdeeds by Japanese Manufacturer Olympus Corporation Demonstrate the Immense Dangers of Lax Compliance with the Weaker Global Standards of Ethics, Governance, Accounting, and Auditing That Seem to Be Acceptable in an Advanced Industrial Country like Japan
Verschoor, Curtis C., Strategic Finance
Olympus Corporation, with sales of $10.6 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, is a leading manufacturer of endoscopic medical devices as well as cameras and other imaging devices, microscopes, and information and communications equipment. Olympus is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and American Depository Receipts are traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market and listed on the "Pink Sheets." Thomson Reuters even named Olympus Optical one of the world's 100 most innovative companies.
In April 2011, Olympus named Michael Woodford its first non-Japanese president. A U.K. citizen, Woodford had worked for the company for more than 30 years, including as head of European operations. In a July 5 article in the Financial Times (FT), Woodford noted that part of his mission was to change Olympus's culture, saying, "Harmony and consensus have their place and time but scrutiny and challenging--devil's advocate, whatever you want to call it--leads to better decision making." Whether or not Woodford knew the details at the time, Olympus's stifling ethical culture--where employees were afraid to speak up--appears to be the single most important cause of events that almost took the company down.
In Olympus's fiscal 2011 annual report, Woodford outlined his plans to maintain innovation while cutting costs through changes to a more centralized organizational structure. Under the slogan of "Advancing to the Next Stage of Globalization," the annual report also related specific goals in the strategic plan for the company. Woodford saw his mandate as: "Do what you did in Europe, and do that around the world."
Woodford became CEO of Olympus on October 1, 2011, but was summarily dismissed from the company on October 14. The corporate termination announcement stated the reason for his firing was that he had "largely diverted from the rest of the management team in regard to the management direction and method, and it is now causing problems for decision making by the management team." On the day the news was published, Olympus's share price plunged 18%, followed by a 24% decline on the next trading day.
Woodford's side of the story came out in an October 15 FT story. Since July, he had been strongly questioning members of the board about large payments to "financial advisors" relating to the 2008 purchase of Gyrus Group, a U.K. medical device manufacturer, and about details of the acquisition of three other Japanese companies, some in totally unrelated businesses.
In an October 11 letter to Olympus's chairman, Woodford described "a catalogue of calamitous errors and exceptionally poor judgment which ... has resulted in the destruction of shareholder value of $1.3 billion." Payments of $687 million, about a third of the Gyrus acquisition cost, and estimated to be the largest M&A fee ever paid, were made to a Cayman Islands special purpose investment vehicle that disappeared from view shortly after receiving the final payment. This information was based on an investigation by PricewaterhouseCoopers, which had been hired by Woodford. The recipients of the payments were said to be a U.S. brokerage house and its subsidiary.
The Olympus audit board in 2009 commissioned an investigation about the advisor payments, but its report found no illegality in the transaction. The October 15 FT story said that Olympus had declined to comment further about the Woodford accusations, stating, "We have disclosed everything we are required to disclose." An Olympus press release dated October 19 notes, "By unanimous resolution of the board of corporate auditors, their conclusion is that 'No dishonesty or illegality is found in the transaction itself, nor any breach of obligation to good management or any systematic errors by the directors recognized.'"
Olympus's governance structure regarding auditing is based on Japanese law. According to the 2011 annual report, a Board of Auditors reports to the General Meeting of Shareholders for appointment/dismissal and also provides audits to the president and board of directors. …

My melancholy was gold dust in your hands;
On your long hands I scattered my life;
My sweetnesses remained clutched in your hands;
Now I am a vial of perfume, emptied
How much sweet torture quietly suffered,
When, my soul wrested with shadowy sadness,
She who knows the tricks, I passed the days
kissing the two hands that stifled my life.
Provide your analysis, explanation, meaning, interpretation, and comments on the poem Sweet Torture here.

Two more years for the Golden Greek. No word on AAV yet...
Two more years for the Golden Greek. No word on AAV yet...
Well that's a bit of a surprise. I guess every team needs a 14th forward.
With Lucic now in the mix, I find it hard to believe we keep more than 1 of Nolan/Clifford/Andreoff.
seems rightJon Rosen @lakingsinsider 3m3 minutes ago
Andreoff's contract is two-years, $1.175M. That's a $587,500 AAV.
Grats Andy!!

LGK is the only place for real die-hard fans. If you're not here, you're not a die-hard. That's how I see it!
Rink Dawg
For under $600k, totally fine for our 14th forward.
The kid always seemed to play hard, and always practiced hard when I saw him.
Good for Andy
seems like one of those contract DL' gives out for player being loayal and not bolting overseas.
I hope he likes living in the I.E.

Stiliyan Petrov: Aston Villa fans' support brings me to tears
STILIYAN PETROV has revealed that the support of Aston Villa fans has almost brought him to tears, as he battles acute leukaemia.
I'm on the edge of starting crying every single time (they sing and applaud). I really appreciate it.
Since news of his illness, Villa fans have chanted Petrov's name in the 19th minute of each match - in tribute to the Bulgarian's number 19 shirt.
And the former Celtic star has admitted the Villa Park faithful have left him feeling incredibly emotional with their backing.
"I'm on the edge of starting crying every single time (they sing and applaud). I really appreciate it," he told the Birmingham Mail.
"I'm in a consolidation phase at the moment. I've got a few more cycles to go. It's been a long road and it's been tough.
"From the start, I knew it was going to be hard. I didn't know it was going to be that hard. At the end of this road, you become an even better person."

A couple of days ago someone sent me a link to the video clip above, shot in Baltimore, of a cop clearly abusing his power and harassing a 14 year old boy who had been skating in a park with his buddies. Apparently the kid, when first beckoned by the cop, didn't respond fast or respectfully enough, and that just ruffled the cop's feathers (especially at been called "dude"). He proceeded to curse out the kid, critique his upbringing, slap him, take his skateboard, and make what seem like threats on his life, saying how he could get "killed" if he continued behaving in this (as the cop says it) "disrespectful fashion."
Anyway, this particular YouTube clip in turn linked me to a never-ending thread of other "skaters versus cops" or "skater vs. rent-a-cop" themed videos, all of which had footage that pretty much repeated the same storyline of kids (usually teenaged boys) skating in places like vacant parking lots or streets/steps where "no skating" is allowed. And in nearly every case the tension level rose between the two sides: kids who just want to have fun and skate wherever they can (which means anywhere since few US towns & cities have adequate space assigned for skate parks) and cops or security guards telling them "you cannot skate here."
Of course in the battle between 14 year old skaters and cops with all that power (and often a low tolerance for what they perceive as back-chatter), guess who wins? Not the kids. Never the kids. In fact it seems there is a ongoing trend in Western society to first off provide few or no skate parks and other recreation areas & centers for teens to use, and then secondly when these same kids are out on the street or at the mall or other public place just trying to occupy themselves, authorities accuse them of loitering and then harass them into moving on. And if they don't move, they are arrested in order to get them in the system.

I love bikes and I want you to love bikes too. I have been riding bikes for most of my life and when I am on a bike, things just tend to make sense. Group rides have turned acquaintances into lifelong friends, and races have introduced me to competitors who have pushed me to be a better person and a better athlete. The cycling community I have met through the years has always been a source of joy and encouragement. Cycling has also been a place where I can drown out or process what is and isn't important. Whether it is a mountain bike ride or a long road ride, God helps me put things into perspective when I'm on two wheels. The vision of Rolling H is to generate enthusiasm for Nampa's growing cycling community and encourage cyclists to do what they love…ride.
Adam Haynes, Owner
Meet Adam, the bearded shop owner extraordinaire. Adam's favorite thing in the world is to teach people about things he loves. He is the guy who wants to tell you how it works and why it's best that it works that way. His passion for people, cycling and bikes is best put to use on the shop floor when interacting with customers. You'll find Adam masterminding new and existing RHC programs or representing RHC in the community at various cycling events. Something about Adam he'd probably tell you, but it would make him blush: Adam's left calf is much smaller compared to his right calf… its pretty great.

Michelle makes sure our employees and vendors gets paid on time, does the business forecasting and keeps the team focused on our evolving 'five year plan'. Although she's not a serious bike geek, it would take something special to dissuade her from a mountain bike ride. She loves to be involved in organizing shop events and has a mind for driving the business forward. Michelle is the brains behind the operation, and has a way of putting a woman's touch on all things "H". Michelle's biggest challenge: Locking and unlocking the shop door. For some reason the "key" never seems to do the trick. Tricky key…

Meet Ryan, our media guru who also happens to be a bike-selling machine. This guy has a video idea for our shop about 4 times a day, it's the best. What he's good at: learning about what you need, what you want, and making it happen. In a roundabout way, you could say he is the perfect matchmaker. Ryan's always loved bikes; it started with BMX riding as a kid, and most recently turned into a love for both mountain biking and road biking. Something interesting about Ryan that he'd probably never tell you (but we will): Ryan has a Star Wars doll collection.

Re: Cock frenum cutting, how?Sat, August 21, 2010 - 1:54 PMThe method depends on what your frenum (or frenulum) is like. It can vary from a thin membrane to a thickish rope. Usually the frenum is quite thin just below the corona and it is easy to piece this. Once that piercing has healed, snipping the frenum itself is a simple, if gory, process. One method is to use a pair of side cutters, or toenail clippers (sterilised of course). If you hold them nearly closed, but not cutting, for a fifteen minutes or more, then the pressure will numb the nerves, and you can increase the pressure without undue discomfort, untill suddenly there is a cruck/click, as your flesh gives way, and you no longer have an intact frenum. You have to tiy up both ends, but that shouldn't present too many problems.
Re: Cock frenum cutting, how?Sun, November 7, 2010 - 9:11 PMHi,
Yesterday i've pierced my frenum with a safety pin, closed it and cut it out with a hobby knive...
It did not hurt (disappointed) and a little blood....
Today you can see the cut and its gaping some what..
Next week a new try with a deeper piercing,...
Re: Cock frenum cutting, how?Mon, August 23, 2010 - 7:33 AMI did mine about 20 years ago when I still had a foreskin using a small pair of surgical scissors. I got my cock hard and bound it around the base, placed an ice cube against the frenum for a couple of mins then with the flat of the scissors blade pressed to my cockhead I pinched my frenum between thumb and forefinger and pulled it forward and made a single cut down along the length of the frenum, then to detach it from the bottom I did the same thing making an upwards cut toward my cockhead.
I now have a very thin scar which roughly follows the line of my frenum before it was removed, in fact this scar looks like a very tight frenum and is very sensitive to the touch.
I have used this technique on a friend of mine who had a very tight frenum and was unable to retract his foreskin when erect without being in pain, he can now completely pull his foreskin back when hard so that his cock looks as though circumcised. There is a little blood and this can easily be stopped by binding a bandage firmly around the area, mine & my friend only took a couple of days for it to heal completely.
Hope this helps!
Re: Cock frenum cutting, how?Mon, November 8, 2010 - 5:41 AMI made a frenulotomy on my own cock. and i say it is better to let make it by a doctor. The bleeding was very extreme, more than an hour bloof flowed. To make it self it is too dangerous, also because of infections.
Re: Cock frenum cutting, how?Wed, September 14, 2011 - 3:26 PMSo I will describe my method times as I've removed my Frenulum. Everyone must of course know what he wants.
The Frenulum Praeputii removes (frenulektomie) I can only recommend. The advantages are:
1. The foreskin can move further back, it is a major hub for the possible and masturbation, the foreskin is moving.
2. The penis looks better, because the foreskin folds almost pull it backwards.
3. The penis is a much better clean.
I have the Frenulum with three interventions themselves completely removed by the following method.
Prerequisite is clean and sterile, Hands and penis thoroughly wash and sterilize the intervention agency.
First, I have the penis for about 5 min in ice water bath, then you notice the cut not. After the sterilization of Frenulum I used a sharp pair of scissors (With a pair of scissors cannot slip) the Frenulum in the middle up to the glans (glans) lower passing through.
It bleeds a little, do not panic. Next, I have sterile gauze rolls inserted into the wound and the foreskin closed (wound glued otherwise). Then I took the foreskin with a sticking plaster strips and a sealed condom pulled over, if still little blood comes out (which was not the case).
The next morning, I cautiously opened the foreskin, (the bleeding had stopped) and urinates after further disinfect the wound, a new gauze rolls and brought back the foreskin closed. But as I patch the booklet easy to urinate can open. After a week the wound has healed so well that I could resist gently masturbate. Incidentally pain are limited is easily bearable.
After a few months after the wound had healed well, I have only the rest of the Frenulum on the Glans bottom
, and after the well was healed on the inside of the foreskin in the same way away. Ultimately, I have, so to speak, a triangle cut out. With the result, I am very satisfied. The operation is now 30 years back, so I think this can be assessed.
Re: Cock frenum cutting, how?Wed, September 14, 2011 - 5:28 PMMy very first genital cutting. I had pierced mine previously and then cut one end leaving a string of flesh and then cut the other end free. What a wonderful feeling that was to cut a piece of live flesh from my body (especially my valued penis). Shouldn't be much bleeding but there are a lot of sensitive nerve endings in that area so pain is more of a problem. I definitely preferred the look without it and it cleared the way for my next cutting - my meatotomy!
Re: Cock frenum cutting, how?Wed, September 14, 2011 - 5:40 PMI did a frenumectomy very easy no blood I took some thred and tied it off at the bottom and did the same at the top after a few days it died and snip snip and it was gone.
Re: Cock frenum cutting, how?Thu, September 15, 2011 - 12:29 AMIt isn't a big deal...as I cut my meatotomy I decided to cut the frenum (which unfortunately left all of my ex-foreskin hanging down much like the neck skin on a turkey) with a pen knife...no pain and very little bleeding. Part of this foreskin description credit goes to "split2betied" as it was originally his description :)

"Keeweechic's Marshall" Marshall by keeweechic
Marshall Travel Guide: 25 reviews and 30 photos
Marshall was settled in 1839 and became the seat of Harrison County in 1842. When Texas seceded from the Union in 1861, Marshall was one of the biggest and wealthiest cities in the state. When Missouri joined the Confederacy, federal troops were sent in to forcibly keep that strategically located state under Union control. The Confederate government of Missouri fled the state and set up its capital in exile in Marshall. This was not the only role Marshall played during the War Between the States. Marshall's factories produced saddles, harnesses, clothing, powder, and ammunition for the South's war effort. After the siege and fall of Vicksburg, Mississippi, Marshall became the seat of all civil authority west of the Mississippi River. It also served as the headquarters of the Trans-Mississippi Department of the Confederate Postal Service.
Marshall, located in the piney woods of East Texas with intersecting US Hwys. 59 and 80 and Interstate 20, is near Caddo Lake and the Louisiana border. It offers much in the way of scenic beauty with its tall stately pines, rolling hills, pine thickets and abundance of wildflowers. There is only a community of 25,000 people but there are more than 100 historical markers and medallions with several listed in the National Register of Historical Places, in the area.

SAN MARCOS: Students settling into interim San Marcos High
In a week of significant changes at San Marcos High School, students returned from their winter break to an interim campus and later watched as large construction vehicles tore up their old grounds and demolished the school's gymnasium.
"I know there's a lot of mixed feelings," said Superintendent Kevin Holt, who had gathered to watch the demolition with board members, administrators and parents who helped pass a bond that is funding the project. "It's a moment that tugs on the heartstrings."
The 50-year-old San Marcos High campus is being razed to make way for a new school that will be built in its place over the next two years. Until then, administrators, teachers and about 2,300 students will work and study in portable buildings.
Principal Julie Mottershaw said that Monday's move into the new campus went very smoothly, and that people had little trouble getting used to the portable buildings because there had been so many at the old campus.
"We're really proud of this," Mottershaw said as she walked through the campus.
The interim campus, composed of a series of nearly identical portable buildings, is not likely to win any awards for design. Students and teachers, however, have said there is plenty to like about their new digs.
"It's awesome," teacher Roger DiCarlo said. "It's clean, and there's a lot more space than before. I like that everybody's in the same spot. You can see the whole campus."
Mottershaw said the old campus was somewhat piecemeal in its layout while the new one is orderly, with classrooms clustered according to subjects.
Senior Daryl Frigillana called the new campus "a little bit cramped" but said it was easier to find things.
"And the classrooms are just as big as the ones at our old school," he said. "It doesn't feel like we've moved classrooms at all. It feels the same. It's just a different location."
Physical education buildings are behind the football field, and classrooms are in a straight line with a single sharp turn, a design that already has some students calling their campus "L High School."
The school is keeping its football field and track, but the gym was demolished Thursday. Until a new one is built, the basketball teams will practice at San Elijo Middle School, San Marcos Middle School and Woodland Park Middle School. The varsity team will play games at Mission Hills High.
The many thick trees and towering palms on the old campus will be knocked down during the demolition, and the interim campus built on the student parking lot has little landscaping. It does, however, offer two grass lawns on the quad so students can relax at lunch or toss around a ball.
Students can buy food from strategically placed kiosks on campus and eat at new outdoor metal benches and tables under a roof for protection from sun and rain.
Meals are made on-site in a cafeteria. Mottershaw said the kitchen equipment, tables and many other items on campus will be transferred to the new school when it opens in January 2014.
Junior Hunter O'Malley said he liked that the new classrooms are more modern.
"The classrooms are a lot nicer," he said. "It feels a bit more open. The quad area feels a bit more open, especially for doing drill and ROTC."
Sophomore Vanessa Fulop said she liked the campus because it's cleaner, the classrooms are nice and everything is well-organized.
"It is a little smaller," she said. "It's a little crowded, but that's OK. We all are one big family of Knights."
Fulop and O'Malley were among the students watching the demolition of the gym Thursday afternoon.

34th Annual Summer Festival
Tickets are now on sale for the Santa Fe Desert Chorale's 34th Annual Summer Festival.
17 performances | 6 venues | 5 distinct programs
For more information, please call our Box Office at (505) 988-2282. To purchase tickets, click here.
Celebrating its 34th year, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale is one of the nation's premiere professional vocal ensembles. Now in his seventh season as Music Director, Joshua Habermann leads the Chorale in repertoire spanning seven centuries, from Medieval polyphony to contemporary works. The critically-acclaimed ensemble performs at historical sites in Santa Fe such as the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis and the Loretto Chapel, as well as other venues throughout the Southwest. A recent highlight was an appearance at the American Choral Director's National Conference in 2015 which was later broadcast by Minnesota Public Radio.
The Chorale presents both summer and winter festivals of concerts featuring a wide range of literature from around the world. The composition of the Chorale is truly national in scope with artists drawn from coast to coast; many sharing the stage with peer groups from Boston's Handel and Haydn Society to the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and including Chanticleer, Conspirare, and Seraphic Fire.
Hear what our singers have to say about the Desert Chorale.
"It is a privilege to be part of a group whose focus on artistry cultivates a greater generosity of self and giving to the entirety of repertoire and to the audiences."
"Working with this level of talent is truly something special for us, and ultimately, for our audiences. Our collective goal to make music greater than any one could do alone is what makes this such a unique experience."
This ensemble typifies the spirit of the land of enchantment. Warm, curious and enduring. What a treat to rejoice in beauty together through singing!
"I don't have enough superlatives to describe this group. Fabulous talent, artistry, incredible repertoire…it's all there!"
Meet the singers who come together this summer to form the Santa Fe Desert Chorale.
Desert Chorale performances are made possible, in part, by:

I just registered here, not sure if this is the right forum, but I'll try. I don't know much about bikes but I want to learn more, and I have a crappy old bike to work with.
I recently moved with an old Schwinn road bike that I bought for $25 at a salvation army. It was in pretty good shape for a while, but it isn't anymore and I need a reliable bike, so I'm trying to figure out my options. I don't really mind buying another bike, whether its a decent new one, or a used one in good condition from craigslist. I want to avoid that if possible, however, by repairing this old Schwinn as best I can. I believe it is a "world tourist" - it looks a lot like this: http://www.bikecollectors.com/files/...ld_tourist.jpg except the frame is the normal size, not taller like that. I've been told by several friends and bike shop employees that the freewheel mechanism is really strange, both on the rear wheel and the pedals. I don't have anything to compare mine with, so I'm not sure what makes it strange, but the gears on the rear wheel are fixed, relative to the wheel itself, and theres an inner axle that spins freely. I'm not entirely sure whats weird about the pedals.
There are a few things that need to be fixed on the bike - I was out riding it today and I blew an inner tube, and I think it gave out because the tire is starting to fall apart - I just noticed the rubber is separating from the bead in a 3-4 inch area, and the hole in the tube is in the same place as that. So I was riding on bad tubes and tires, and it doesn't help that the wheels themselves are completely bent out of shape (front and back). These are the parts I want to replace first, and I think replacing these will make the biggest difference in how smoothly and reliably the bike rides. The problem is, because of that strange freewheeling mechanism, I'm afraid to just buy a random set of wheels online. I went to a bike shop today and they didn't even have the size I need, because I guess the 27x1 1/4 wheels aren't sold anymore?
So I guess my first question is, does anybody know about this freewheeling mechanism that I'm talking about, and if it has a name (mainly so I can search online for replacement wheels)? If not, does anyone know if I should be able to buy a "normal" 27x1 1/4 wheel and use that? Would I then have to buy new gears, derailleur, pedals? Does anyone know of a good place online to buy specific parts for older bikes? I'll do my best to answer any questions anyone might have, and I can post photos (or videos) if necessary.
If that whole operation ends up being unreasonably expensive or just impossible, can I get some recommendations for a new bike, or even a particular brand or model to look out for on craigslist? The biker friends I have aren't too into buying new bikes, they just collect old ones and repair them, but I don't really have the same time and resources they do - if I can fix my old broken bike in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable amount of money, I'll do that, but if not, I just want a new one that's in good working condition. If I'm getting a new bike, I think I'd like to keep the cost around $400 for the bike itself.
I really appreciate any help I can get.

Dear All,
I have an error regarding the initial condition while I was running the trans analysis:
c1: initial condition computed between node vc1 and vc2 is in error by 500mV (100 %)
Does any one have the simuliar problem before and how he or she solved the issue? In addition, when I setup the initial condition of the capacitor, how do I know which plate of the capacitor has the higher potential?
Thanks and have a nice day!

Celebrating opening night, Daniel Radcliffe walked the red carpet at the Cort Theatre in New York City on Sunday night (April 20).
The "Harry Potter" actor kept it casual before suiting up in his costume for "The Cripple of Inishmaan," in which he stars alongside Pat Shortt and Gillian Hanna.
He's starring in the Broadway production of "The Cripple of Inishmaan" these days, and Daniel Radcliffe has come a long way since his days at Hogwarts.
The "Woman in Black" actor dropped by "Today" to chat about his various acting pursuits, noting that he's thankful for "Harry Potter" and the opportunities the franchise afforded him.
Gearing up for another stint on the Great White Way, Daniel Radcliffe attended a photocall for "The Cripple of Inishmaan" on Wednesday (April 2) in New York City.
The handsome Brit was smartly dressed in a sport coat and blue shirt as he struck a pose alongside his cast mates.
He's always up to something fabulous, and earlier today (February 26) Daniel Radcliffe showed up on the set of "Frankenstein" in London, England.
Sporting a long flowing coif, the "Harry Potter" star looked intense while shooting scenes in a grey wool suit as fans looked on.
After enjoying some time on stage, Daniel Radcliffe is returning to the big screen in a new film called "Brooklyn Bridge."
Based on the story of the construction of the bridge, the movie follows young engineer Washington Roebling who is tasked with overseeing work on the project when his father dies.
Ready to take his acting career back to the big stage, Daniel Radcliffe is set to play the lead role in Martin McDonagh's 1996 production of "The Cripple of Inishmaan."
The show had a successful run in London in 2013, with staging run by Michael Grandage, and will occupy New York City's own Cort Theatre from April 20th through July 20th of this year.
He's never been afraid of a challenging role, and Daniel Radcliffe had to put aside his pride while filming the latest episode of "A Young Doctor's Notebook" in London, England.
The "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" hunk got all done up as an old-fashioned clown for one of his character's more bizarre moments.
Being a well-known name and face in Hollywood and across the globe, Daniel Radcliffe still manages to keep a low profile. In an interview with Sky News, the "Harry Potter" hunk reveals his secrets to keeping his life on the down-low.
"There are certain things you can do to make it a lot easier on yourself," the 24-year-old said. "If you don't, for instance, go to premieres [for movies] you're not in, or don't just turn up at other events and stuff like that. That's obviously going to help."

Beate was a very pleasant host and welcomed me with basic shopping for the week ! The appartment is in the basement and I sometimes had the feeling it wasnt really built for a living purpose. You hear the noise from the road and also the outside shutters rattle frequently. Other than that everything is there that you need and it is very central to nearby shops or bus-stop if you want to go into central Baden-Baden.

Wage Differentials, Skills, and Institutions in Low-Skilled Jobs
The typical study of wage differentials examines workers at all educational levels and attends closely to the link between education and wages. Little research has looked at determinants of wage differentials specifically among workers with low educational attainment. This study, using the 1998-2002 Bay Area Longitudinal Surveys and the 2001-2003 Occupational Information Network, examines which skills and labor market institutions affected wages in jobs for individuals with a high school education or less and little work experience. The author finds that jobs demanding office/clerical skills, mechanical skills, or the "new basic" skills of reading, math, problem-solving, and communication paid higher wages, on average, than did other low-skill jobs, especially those in which physical skills were relatively important. Also positively associated with wages for these low-skilled workers were union representation and location in an industry containing relatively few low-skill jobs.

Word For The Day, Wednesday, July 3, 2013-- aborning
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
aborning [uh-bawr-ning]
hear it pronounced
Adverb: while being born, developed, or realized (esp in the phrase die aborning)
Origin: 193035; a + borning irregular for being born
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Good morning all! I'm a bit early today. Will be leaving at about 10 a.m. (EDT) for Boston to visit in-laws.
But you want a sentence that says something like, "Obamacare seems to have died aborning."
In before the ping! #1
Let's see some homework. It ain't the 4th of July yet.
Liberty dies aborning..
A mere two centuries after Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison, we are now led by the likes of Obama, Biden, Reid and Schumer. Sic transit Gloria!
For extra credit, compare and contrast the contents of the Affordable Care Act with that of the Constitution.
For one thing, The Affordable Care Act uses a lot more paper.
More violence aborning in Egypt this morning. Have a safe trip.
Rather than the Constitution, how about the Declaration of Independence, which we mark the signing of 237 years ago tomorrow?
* He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
* He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
* He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
* He {intends to keep} among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
* He {intends to render} the military independent of and superior to civil power.
* He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws...
* For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent...
* For depriving us in many {future} cases, of the benefits of trial by jury...
* For ... abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
* He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless ... savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
* In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
* Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our ... brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
That's my favorite.
Interesting that you used the word as an adjective. There is such usage, but I omitted it to avoid confusion. However, since you mentioned it, I will provide the adjective definition:
aborning, adjective
being born; coming into being, fruition, realization, etc.:
A new era of architecture is aborning.
And, if we substitute Barack Obama for King George III as the antecedent of "he," many of the acts which our Founding Fathers found to be intolerable are being reprised.
Took Chan to the vet yesterday to update her shots for boarding, when we go on vaca in a few weeks. I love the one vet at this practice and always try to get him. Chan was done with her checkup in just a few minutes but i sat and talked with him for a half hour [no pets were waiting, i think it must have been his lunch hour] we had chatted briefly in the past, his son is a doctor and does stints with Samaritan's purse [franklin graham's christian relief organization] so i figured him for a conservative. He had just returned from Israel, where he and his wife went on vaca with their church. We talked about Israel and then how Obams has pretty much abandoned it. And then we got onto the Sup ct ruling etc. It was great to talk to him. Felt positively subversive in this area where 99% of the pop is lib or ignorant.
that is fantastic.
My daughter needs to have braces. So, thank God she's an only child!
We do have some coverage on our dental, but we're still looking at a nice chunk of change.
Which will be useful when Barack's Toilet Paper Czar misses his production quota, leaving "the masses" unwiped as well as unwashed. Or is it "them asses?"
I would use "and" instead of "or."
Thanks for the safe travel wishes. It's just under 300 miles. Want to leave at 10 or so to avoid the rush hour at either end.
I have 3 kids and they all needed braces. After I finally paid off my third one's bill, I gave the orthodontist a big smile. He said, "Hey, let me look at your teeth." Bottom line, in my early 40s I wore braces for two years. Hurt like hell. Old teeth are more set in their ways. Cost a bunch, as well.
By the time you're in your 40s, why bother? It's not like you're going on TV or anything. You have a wife.
Made it lots easier to pass as a younger, sexier Paul Newman with a killer smile.
You're right. The only upside is that now I'm gorgeous. :)
Yeah—those who want to save babies from having their brains vacuumed out by the likes of "Dr." Gosnell are in league with Satan. Those who favor late-term abortions believe that they, themselves are paragons of virtue.
Orwell's "newspeak" is becoming more prevalent every day.
Actually isn't defetusing what they are all about?
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Because my parents lived in the country I was aborning at home in the morning or was it mourning? Before that I was suborning but then that was years ago.
In the abattoirs of monsters like Kermit Gosnell, children of God are slaughtered aborning.
I'll need to see your abording pass.
been there and done that, three times.
truth from truth! LOL!
their parents must be so proud.
The sick/sad part is they probably are.
quite possible.
I thought the one on the right was the parent. Upon closer examination, probably not.
looks more like the dad than the mom ; )
Forget it, he's rolling.
And THAT is exactly WHO I was referring to.
Is that anything like an aBORGing pass where you have all these tubes in ya like a rock star on dope?
Ah thought only the true star trekkers went aborging through the universe "Far, far away ..."
An overdose of our famous brew Old Stone Solvent will give a person a wooden face and a trip to several universals and maybe even a short trip in their own padded square type ship.
If the future's so great, why can't Peacard grow hair?
That's not a Borg.
Wiki lists her as a fomer Borg drone.
Congratulations, this will undoubtedly be the geekiest conversation I have all day.
All I know is she has a natural skin color and doesn't have a camera eye.
That and her divorce led to Obama.

As most of the people I've also ran into a problem of circular reference error when serializing (terrible) EF objects to JSON. Doing db.Detach(efObject) helps - but I still get garbage like "EntityKey" outputted.
So I was wondering if there is an option (through JsConfig?) to tell serializer to ignore Properties either through name (EntityKey) or through type (EntityReference<T> or EntityCollection<T>)?
Or will I be forced to ditch EF alltogether and switch to something better (I do not want to manually define ORM classes - I want them automatically generated from DB)?

For the formal night how formal is the attire?
For the formal night how formal is the attire?
Can only speak for my DW and I (and perhaps Slowhand and his DW... Terry... Oh Terry... where are you). When we do formal night, we do formal night. She in her gown and I in my tux. Makes us feel like the we're in the midst of the heyday of classical ship travel. To us, that's half the fun of it.
However, having said all that, I think that we're in the minority.
There are quite a few people who are not so strict. Nice dinner dresses for the ladies and suits for the guys.
Tom (puttin' on the Ritz)
You will find that most of the guests make a bit of effort to dress smart on the formal evenings.
Many [like myself] give my tuxedo an airing, whilst many of the other gents at least don a jacket, usually with a nice shirt and tie.
It`s also a good occasion for the ladies to dig out their posh frocks!
Ahh... there you are.Originally Posted by Slowhand, post: 103791

As some of you may have noticed, my blog was hacked last 27 April, and all posts have been removed.
After spending a few hours recovering the lost content I focus myself trying to understand the attack vector.
It didn't take too long until I found how to hack my own blog.
It was a BlogEngine.NET v1.3.0.x security problem related to the js.axd handler(This handler purpose is to serve *.js files) that allows everyone to get any file from your domain, even the critical ones like web.config or App_Data\users.xml. [more]
You can read more on code details in this Danny Douglass post.
I've think a lot before wrote the following lines, but decided that people should know how easily is to hack their sites (hackers already know it :-)).
The practical work of hacking a BlogEngine.Net v1.3.0.x blog is the following:
That's it ... Now that you know how to do it, I hope you don't use this knowledge to cause malware and instead alert all your friend about this security hole.
A security patch is available since 14 April and it works fine.
By this time I already recovered my posts and secured my blog but still worried about it.
My thoughts were about "why I didn't spent some time to review the BE code?". If I had done that I could have found this security hole(it was really easy to find) or another one that could still be over there.
I have learned a few lesson with this episode:
If we all keep these worries in mind and review the code we will feel safer and we will all be contributing to solution improvement.

This is the code related blog of Nuno Gomes. I've developped web applications in MSFT technology stack and all kind of JavaScript frameworks. Since 2013 i'm focused on a managing career yet coding passion didn't fade away.

Dear oDesk Community,
As head of Operations at oDesk, I'm here to introduce an upcoming policy change that I believe will make oDesk a better workplace for everyone.
Policy update
Beginning November 15, 2014, we will introduce a minimum rate of $3.00 per hour (including the oDesk fee) for all new hourly contracts.
We will continue to honor the hourly rates of contracts formed prior to this date, and clients and freelancers who have previously worked together at less than $3.00 per hour can form new contracts with no minimum requirement.
Why have we made this decision?
Our vision
Our vision is to be the world's largest, most trusted online workplace, known for top-notch talent and jobs. This means attracting and retaining freelancers and clients who value quality above all else.
Individual freelancers are in the best position to set their hourly rates according to their experience level, skills, and cost of living realities. However, in certain circumstances, we've seen that some freelancers feel compelled to lower their rates too far in order to win new work. This can result in sub-optimal work quality and low customer satisfaction. In this context, we believe the new hourly minimum will benefit the entire community by setting an expectation of higher pay for higher quality work. More importantly, we believe this change will, over time, encourage more great freelancers and clients around the world to work on oDesk.
Introducing a minimum rate
While we recognize the complexity of our marketplace—from the large differences in earnings around the world, to the diversity of work done on our platform—we believe $3/hour strikes the right balance between discouraging low-quality work and minimizing disruption to client-freelancer relationships. Though a single minimum rate is an imperfect solution, we feel it's an important step toward making oDesk a great place to both work and get work done.
Our customers
Today, only 3% of freelancer earnings are below the new minimum. However, we do not take lightly the impact this policy may have on all the clients and freelancers who rely on us for their businesses and careers. In particular, we're sensitive to the relationships our clients and freelancers have already formed with one another. Thus, this policy will apply only to new client-freelancer relationships formed on or after November 15, 2014. We will continue to honor the hourly rates of contracts formed prior to this date.
For answers to how this policy impacts you, we've developed a detailed set of Frequently Asked Questions:
If you have any further questions, we encourage you to contact our support team, who are standing by to help.
I, along with the rest of the oDesk leadership team, truly believe our community as a whole will benefit from this transition. I want to thank you, our customers, for your understanding and support. As we look ahead to the future, we're excited to work for you —and with you—to build a workplace for the ages.
Elizabeth Tse
Senior Vice President, Operations

I'm sorry, why your illustration can't be on t-shirt?? I will take it two!
Hello Stacia! Really like your style and work. But im actually writing to make sure if you are aware of this or have agreed to the use of your image for this company https://www.facebook.com/pages/Caser-...
0433818207 . Check their photos. I stumbled on this page a few months back and all of their designs were ripoffs and claimed to be caesar (the company) design. I had a talk with the staff and it turned out that the company had thought that all the images were public domain and that they trusted the person who made the selection as a one time job. The amount of the images was really huge. They claimed to have taken down most of it and i could see that they did. But now ,after a few months i recognize a lot of their new images are from societ6 users. So far i`ve found 7 artist who`s work i recognize and will also ask them aswell if they have agreed to it or posted their work somewere as a public domain image or on shutterstock and etc.
Well done

Died On This Date (March 9, 2012) Terry Teene / '60s Rockabilly Singer
Posted by themusicsover on March 9, 2012
Terry Teene (Born Terence Knutson)
1942 – March 9, 2012
Terry Teene was an American singer, musician, and prolific songwriter who reportedly penned over 300 songs during his career. He personally claimed to have played on over 100 additional records and wrote songs under more than 70 different pen names. Noteworthy records of his include "Pussy Galore" (written for, but unused in the James Bond film Goldfinger), "Just Wait Til I Get You Home," and his biggest hit, 1960's "Curse Of The Hearse." The latter went on to become a yearly staple on Dr. Demento's annual Halloween radio programs. Over the years, Teene shared the stage with Alice Cooper, the Kinks, and Cheap Trick, to name a few. Away from music, Teene enjoyed a successful career as a clown – even writing books and teaching courses on the subject. He also appeared in such films as Man On The Moon and Raging Bull. On March 7, 2012, Terry Teene was seriously injured when he was hit by a tow truck while riding a bicycle. He succumbed to his injuries on March 9, 2012. He was 70.
Thanks to Paul Bearer for the assist.

'Magic numbers' tell the tale of OKC Thunder's playoff hopes
All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are familiar with the term "magic number," but they have no idea what that number is at the moment for the Thunder.
"I was waiting for you all to tell me," a smiling Durant said to reporters after Tuesday's practice.
To clinch a playoff spot, the Thunder's magic number was five against Phoenix, which had a late game Tuesday at the Los Angeles Lakers.
To clinch the Northwest Division crown, the Thunder's magic number was nine against Denver.
"I don't even know how that stuff goes," Westbrook said. "I just know if you continue to win, it's good."
The Thunder plays Utah at 7 p.m. Wednesday inside Oklahoma City Arena and with a victory officially would eliminate the Jazz as a potential threat for a playoff spot or winning the Northwest Division crown.
A magic number indicates how close a team is to clinching a playoff spot or regular-season title. It represents the total number of wins for the front-running team, losses by the opposing team in question or a combination of both.
Here is the magic number formula: Total games + 1 – wins by Team A – losses by Team B.
The plus 1 added to the number of games eliminates potential ties.
The number of regular-season NBA games is 82 (+1). Team A is the Thunder, which has a 45-24 record. Team B would be the team the Thunder is trying to beat out.
To clinch a playoff spot, the Thunder must finish no lower than eighth in its conference, which would make Team B the ninth-place team.
The Western Conference currently has a three-way race for ninth place among Phoenix (35-33), Houston (37-34) and Utah (36-35).
The Thunder's magic number for the playoffs: five against Phoenix (83-45-33=5); four against Houston (83-45-34=4); three against Utah (83-45-35=3).
If two competing teams play head-to-head, the magic number either remains the same or is reduced by two. So if the Thunder beats the Jazz tonight, it would reduce the magic number to one against Utah. A win would also give OKC a 3-1 season series advantage, thus a win in the playoff head-to-head tiebreaker and eliminate the Jazz.
In the Northwest Division, the Thunder is trying to beat out Denver (42-29), Portland (40-30) and Utah.
The Thunder's magic number for the division title is nine against Denver (83-45-29=9); eight against Portland (83-45-30=8); three against Utah (83-45-35=3).
Thunder coach Scott Brooks said his team's magic number is one, and will continue to be one – as in one game at a time.
"We don't really talk about it," reserve guard Eric Maynor said of the magic number. "Some of us are always on the Internet and stuff like that and we always know, but that's not one thing we talk about."
To win the Northwest Division:
9 – Denver Nuggets (42-29)
8 – Portland Trail Blazers (40-30)
3 – Utah Jazz (36-35)
To clinch a playoff spot:
5 – Phoenix Suns (35-33)
4 – Houston Rockets (37-34)
3 – Utah Jazz (36-35)
Note: Does not include Tuesday's results

Cook committed to excellent education
Let's re-elect Karla Cook to the Iowa City school board. There is no more levelheaded, thoughtful, conscientious person around. She knows schools having taught at Northwest, Regina, City High and others.
As Cook's colleague, I have observed her deep commitment to excellent education. Her communication skills, sense of humor, and ability to investigate complex issues have been well honed by a wide variety of students and school situations through the years. She is responsive to and concerned about all kinds of students and issues that come before the board.
We have high expectations and hopes for our youth — that each one might discover and develop his/her talents, strengths, and interests in productive ways that enhance our community, o state, and world. Cook will serve that tradition with exceptional insight and expertise.Beverly Witwer Iowa City
