Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa is known for its healthy spa cuisine. I had been looking forward to trying out this place for quite some time, and finally went there yesterday for a belated Valentine's Day dinner. You can peak at their menu here.
The Good:
As I've mentioned before, I am borderline vegetarian and was very excited to see many vegan, grass fed, and other organic selections on the menu. We tried the house starter, an appetizer, entrees, and dessert. The portions were controlled which I thought was a good thing because nowadays you can have a day's worth of food in one seating at most restaurants. You can also review the calorie, carbohydrate, and fat content in each one of their dishes and our wonderful server, Patricio, was very informative of the contents and tastes as well.
From the dining experience, we really liked the artichoke fries. Even the ketchup was organic. This was definitely a different taste from the worn out French fries you can have just about anywhere else. Wonderful at 45cal. and 3g of fat per serving (Portion is for 2 servings).
The Ok:
The house starter was composed of long, breadstick-like pieces served with humus. The humus was nicely spiced, but I think it would have made more sense to me if it had been served with veggie crudités instead. My entrée was the Red Curry Vegetables (Vegan and Gluten Free. 490cal. 15g fat) a nice balance of citrus, coconu, spice, pistachios, and veggies - which was good - but quickly reminded me of a well-known brand of organic microwaveable entrees and made me think of how good those are at about $3 - $4.
My boyfriend had the South Georgia Island Chilean Seabass (390cal. 32g fat!!), which I did not try, but he described it as, "Good, but not great." We then ordered dessert. I ordered the plum cake and my boyfriend was anxiously awaiting the chocolate chip cookies, a house specialty. We then received something that resembled a cupcake sized pound cake with a plum on top and two chocolate chip cookies. The plum cake was good, but I am sure it's something I can make at home – like strawberry shortcake. The two cookies, while they were chewy and warm, I don't think were worth the hype.
Overall, I do think the food had a healthy appeal to it, but I don't think the pricing was justified by the taste or the presentation. Don't go to this restaurant if you are starving and hoping to have a very large meal. You can probably achieve that by ordering several things, but it might run up your bill considerably since the portions are small and controlled. I would probably go back for a "staycation" at the resort, but just for dining based on what we tried, I think home cooking would be worth considering instead at one third the price.
I might give their salads a try next time. Maybe the selections we made were not their best, but unfortunately I was not impressed.

Joao Silva's First Assignment Since His Injury a Fitting One
Photojournalist Joao Silva, who lost both of his legs last October after stepping on a landmine in Afghanistan, took on an appropriate first assignment for The New York Times last week: photographing the closing of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the hospital where he worked to recover from his injuries alongside soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As detailed in a post on Lens, the Times' photography blog, Silva was already covering the hospital's closing ceremony when the assignment came in from national picture editor David Scull and Michele McNally, the Times' director of photography.
Silva's image of a crowd observing a parachute demonstration at the closing ceremony ran on page one of the newspaper on Thursday.

Sebastian Bach Arrested for Marijuana
Sebastian Bach was reportedly arrested for marijuana possession during a traffic stop in New Jersey on Tuesday morning.
The rocker was pulled over on the highway in Monmouth County for failing to keep to the right. During a subsequent search, police found less than 50 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Bach was booked and then released from a local jail, with a future court hearing.
Just six months ago, the former Skid Row frontman was arrested for pot possession and assault after biting a bar employee in Ontario, Canada.

The Impact of New Technologies and ICTs on Sustainable Development
Organizing partnersGlobal Alliance for ICT and Development (GAID)
Office of Information and Communications Technologies
IntroductionThe intersection of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), with the challenges of environmental, social and economic sustainability forms a critical nexus for the future of sustainable development and poverty eradication. Technology has long played a crucial part in economic and social development, and its evolution has continually raised the thresholds of possibility. In order to unleash the full potential of technology as an enabler for sustainable economic and social development throughout the developing world, a global strategy leveraging the power of technology is needed.
The importance of sustainability has been recognized in development policy since the United Nations first Summit on that theme in the early 1990s and today it is being revived with the RIO+20 Summit that aims at securing renewed political commitment. A sustainable development approach must be holistic and analyze its three pillars: economic, social and environmental trends, and the interactions between them. The link between ICT and sustainable development recognizes the existence of both significant opportunities and threats.On the one hand, there is optimism that the ?new economy? will bring ?dematerialization?, a reduction in movement of goods, and a general decoupling of economic growth and resource use, on the other hand, there is fear that current unsustainable trends will be worsened. Without a holistic approach, the sustainable use of ICT alone will not deliver the goals of social and environmental sustainability. Common efforts from governments, civil society and businesses alike are needed.
Detailed programmeThe Panel
The Panel will look at two main themes:
1.1. Exploring the potential of ICT as a major tool in addressing the current challenges of sustainable development; and1.2. Identifying key actors, governments, NGOs and the private sector that are implementing the ICT aspects of sustainable development, and understanding their approaches and challenges.
An opening session will kick off the Panel outlining the role of ICT in implementing sustainable development; each panelist will have a 5 to 8 minutes presentation on concrete examples in addressing the two questions above. The opening session will be followed by interactive discussions proposing solutions in the above thematic areas.
A closing session will ask participants to chart a path to strengthen the contributions to sustainable development efforts and to put forward collective recommendations for actions.
The Panel will give a chance to participants to meet many constituencies and to generate new ideas. The objective is to spur ideas, innovation and action and to bring greater scale and quality in the discourse to recognize ICT as one of the major cross-cutting drivers of sustainable development.

"The Science is Settled" but the parties roll on.
The global warming bureaucracy is planning a tax-funded jaunt to balmy Durban in South Africa for yet another of their periodic talkfests. There are only two legitimate topics to debate in Durban – the science of global warming or the politics of the Kyoto agreement. Government climate mercenaries tell us at every opportunity "The science of global warming is settled". They refuse to debate climate realists. Thus, according to them, there is no science to debate at Durban. The politics of Kyoto alarmism is equally settled. No one outside the Green Empire in UK, Europe and the Anzacs will renew Kyoto.
Developing economies in Africa, India and China are never going to agree to carbon taxes and rationing that damage the aspirations of their millions many who still lack electricity. Others such as PNG, Indonesia and Brazil will participate only to the extent needed to rip off the gullible Green Empire by selling ephemeral "carbon credits" to them.
Thus the Kyoto deal is dead and there is nothing there to discuss in Durban. Almost every western government is guilty of massive overspending. Australia and New Zealand should reduce government waste by sending NO ONE to the pointless party in Durban.

A man who has been fighting to overturn his conviction for sexually abusing more than a dozen boys in the 1980s filed court papers Monday asking a Nassau County judge to recuse herself from his case because of ties she has to the county's top prosecutor.
Jesse Friedman has filed a motion in the Nassau County Court asking Judge Teresa Corrigan to step aside from his case because of a "close and longstanding" relationship she has with Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice. Friedman pleaded guilty in 1988 – when he was 18 years old – to charges that he and his father abused 13 children who took computer classes at their Great Neck home. Jesse Friedman was paroled in 2001 and has been fighting for more than a decade to clear his name. His father, Arnold, died in prison.
At a press conference in June, Friedman said he had "never committed a crime against any child ever" and that he had been coerced to plead guilty. His lawyers contend they have discovered new evidence to prove his innocence, which include students and parents who have recanted their allegations. The lawyers say they also have "proof that police and prosecutors hid evidence."
Friedman's lawyer, Ron Kuby, filed a motion in June asking a judge to set aside his convictions – and the case was assigned to Corrigan. Corrigan, who was elected as a county court judge in 2013 and appointed as an acting state Supreme Court judge the same year, said in election materials that she was a prosecutor for 23 years. Prior to being elected, she served under Rice as a bureau chief in the Nassau DA's office.
According to Friedman's lawyers, Corrigan worked with Rice when the two were both assistant district attorneys in Brooklyn in the 1990s. After Rice was elected as Nassau County District Attorney in 2005, she hired Corrigan as a bureau chief. Friedman's legal team says Corrigan was working with Rice when the DA's office opposed Friedman's prior efforts to reopen the case.
"Plainly, Judge Corrigan's service in association with DA Rice is not a mere nominal one," Friedman's lawyer, Ron Kuby, wrote in the motion that was filed Monday. "Though Judge Corrigan has stated she has never been involved in this case, and the Defendant here does not question that assertion, she was plainly a trusted lieutenant to DA Rice … Recusal in this case is mandatory."
Rice spokesman Shams Tarek said prosecutors will oppose the motion. He says Rice "and her prosecutors and investigators are completely independent from the original Friedman prosecution and have spent hundreds of hours performing an exhaustive review of this decades-old case and guilty plea, a review that an independent advisory panel has declared to be as thorough and fair as possible."
A court spokesman said the judge was unavailable for comment.

Linux - Running The Same Command on Many Machines at Once
Here's the situation:
- We have a lab that consists of fifteen quad-core machines, each running Ubuntu Linux.
- There is a video encoding software I need to be running, but one job (i.e. one video with one configuration) takes a really long time (couple of hours).
- There are about as many configurations as machines (about 15) and around 20 videos.
So I thought about having the videos accessible through a centralized storage, but let each machine run the encoding process.
In its most basic form, the command used is something like this
./encode -d default.conf -f local.conf -i inputFile.yuv
Now, the question is: Is there any software that I could use to easily deploy those tasks on the lab machines? I was thinking about:
- Having one master that dispatches jobs, e.g. "Tell machine 1 to run
/home/user/encode -i input1.yuv, then
/home/user/encode -i input2.yuv, et cetera"
- Being able to see which node is currently working on which task and for how long
- Being able to stop a task or retry upon failure
I am not limited to CLI, could also be a GUI application. Any ideas?

Hot Wheels Apptivity
It's hard to imagine improving on a time-honored classic like Hot Wheels. But now, with the help of a free app from iTunes, Special Edition Hot Wheels cars can turn your iPad into an action-packed racetrack that takes kids 4 and up on a fast-paced virtual adventure.
The danger, of course, is that Dad may start hogging this nifty, hands-on driving game. So be sure to remind him that kids his age can get behind the wheel of a real Hot Wheels classic: the 2013 Camaro Hot Wheels Special Edition—after all, who wouldn't choose the reality over the toy? Just wait until he test drives the 2014 Camaro Spring Special Edition, available in 2LT and 2SS Coupe or Convertible models!
Solar Car Science Kit
A few different companies make science kits that kids can use to build their own solar-powered cars, and learn how solar panels turn sun energy into electricity in the process. Creativity, remote control, science, green energy—what's not to love?
Brace yourself, because every other toy in the house is about to be neglected. Romo is a tread-wheeled robot that turns an iPhone or iPod Touch into a fully programmable friend. Kids don't even realize they're learning programming skills as they answer a series of "If X then Y" questions to make the robot do whatever their imaginations conjure up—whether it's making faces, playing hide and seek, or tormenting a sibling. Romo works with most iOS devices and, once programmed via its graphical interface, can zoom from room to room, recognize faces and follow remote-control commands—even from distant iOs devices. This means Dad can give chase when not at home, and Grandma can play peekaboo from another state.
Thames & Kosmos Remote Control Machines Kit
Remember erector sets? Well, you can forget them. Thames and Kosmos lets junior engineers build motorized vehicles and machines, just like Grandpa used to—only now kids get to control them with a wireless remote. But that's just the beginning. With this high-tech science-minded building kit, your mad scientist can create his or her own Frankencar, to rule over all the other remote-controlled vehicles on the block.
Hot Wheels Video Racer
This high-tech, high-cool little car has a hidden micro camera on board that records footage of its high-speed journeys down plastic racetracks, around loop-de-loops and through the legs of the family dog—giving its owner the sensation of being inside and squinting through that teeny-tiny windshield. But here's the piece de resistance: With the help of a snap-on case, the car-camera can be attached to other wheeled objects. From bikes to boards, kids can create all manner of adventure videos that they can upload, edit and even orchestrate.

IE6 Dies. Even Microsoft Cheers
You know a product must be bad when even the makers of it cheer when it finally dies.
The hugely unlamented Internet Explorer 6 has finally passed on. Even Microsoft's Director, Internet Explorer Marketing celebrates its death on the Windows Blog.
IE6 has been the punch line of browser jokes for a while, and we've been as eager as anyone to see it go away. In fact, we launched the IE6 Countdown site last March to help accelerate the process. Less than a year later, I'm thrilled to say that the United States has joined the ranks of Austria, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway in dropping below 1% usage of IE6. In addition, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Ukraine, Portugal and the Philippines are also entering the Champions' Circle. We hope this means more developers and IT Pros can consider IE6 a "low-priority" at this point and stop spending their time having to support such an outdated browser.
The unloved piece of software achieved a level of notoriety when U.S. State Department workers asked the newly installed Secretary Clinton if they could finally abandon the browser and adopt Firefox instead.
In a previous life I was a web developer and had to build sites that could run on IE6; it was not a happy time. So with its demise goes a whole suite of hacks and kludges you had to implement to get IE6 to do what you wanted it to. Still, it could be argued that it generated employment; for every hour you spent getting the site to work on Firefox or Safari, you had to spend probably another two getting the same thing to work in IE6.

He's one of the most prolific goalscorers in Liverpool history - and prior to the Reds' clash with Swansea on Sunday you can catch up with John Aldridge at Anfield's Family Park.
Aldo, who netted 63 goals in 104 games during a trophy-laden two-year spell at the club, will be milling around the park on Anfield Road between 12.30 and 2.30pm GMT.
He'll be inviting fans to try out Barclays' new Pingit technology while having their photo taken in one of Barclays' matchday photobooths.
Pingit is a concept which allows people to send and receive money via an app on their mobile phone and was introduced to Barclays customers earlier this year.
As part of the 'Don't Pass it, Ping it' campaign, a matchday photobooth has been touring Premier League grounds across the country this season.
It offers fans the opportunity to have their photo taken in front of a special football-related backdrop - and the pictures can then either be printed or posted directly onto Facebook.
And on Sunday, the campaign will be up and running at the Reds' Family Park, which is free for families who have a matchday ticket.
The outdoor area also offers a range of entertainment to keep youngsters occupied including a speed cage, a target cage and an inflatable five-a-side pitch.
So why not get yourself down to the Family Park on Anfield Road, meet Aldo and try out Barclays' Pingit photobooth before watching the Reds on Sunday?

Low earnings of female high school dropouts
August 29, 2001
Earnings of female full-time workers aged 25 and over without a high school diploma were considerably below those of women with college degrees in 2000.
Median usual weekly earnings of women without a high school diploma were $303 per week in 2000, compared with $760 for those with college degrees.
Female high school graduates who had not attended college earned $421 per week, over a third more than those who had not obtained a high school diploma. Women with some college or an associate degree earned $504 per week, about two-thirds more than those who did not graduate from high school.
These data on earnings are produced by the Current Population Survey. More information can be found in "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2000," BLS Report 952 (PDF 193K).

Release Date: 2001-03-16 (Limited)
Genre: Drama, Comedy
Rating: NR
Born and raised in New Jersey, Krishnagopal Reddy is the typical boy next door: handsome, athletic, and adventuresome. The only son of immigrant Indian parents, he has adopted the American ideal of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, as his credo. He has long resisted the Indian traditions and values that his parents have tried to enshrine in their home. Fueled by the need to fit in with his peers, Krishnagopal has shortened his birth name to the more palatable 'Kris' while striving to become the best 'American' he can. Kris' home is infused with what he finds as embarrassing traditions. The smells, sounds and tastes continually remind Kris of his Indian heritage. His over-attentive mother with her religious fervor constantly smothers him. His father, a successful accountant, cannot detach himself from the cultural and political scene in India despite a comfortable life in America. Kris cannot help but feel alienated from his family. He is what a knowing ex-patriate desi (literally "one from our land") would call an American Born Confused Desi. Kris' dream has always been to leave home so he can finally live his own life. Accepted into the engineering program at the local State University, he eagerly departs for college in the hopes of finally living a normal 'American' life. During a college party, Kris falls for a beautiful Indian girl named Nina Shah . As Kris vies for the affection of Nina, he is opposed by the smooth-talking, but slimy Rakesh who wants to thwart Kris' attempts at happiness.

We're in for some climate chaos. The Copenhagen Accord means at least 2-4 degrees of warming over the next fifty years. And who knows how much global weirding. As greenhouse gases trap more heat (energy) close to the earth, that energy is used by large weather systems—they move faster and are more intense than ever.
This means more category 5 hurricanes. More likelihood of Florida snow. My biggest concern about all this change? Eating. If crop yields drop 80%, as they're expected to, if we don't adapt to a changing climate, I might get hungry.
So how do we produce food in a changing climate? How do we produce food with shortages of oil and fuel around the corner? Well we might start, like Joel Salatin's family owned Polyface farm, by decreasing inputs to the farm. While 50% of the cost of most food comes from fuel to run the system, in Polyface's beyond organic, pasture-based system, only 1% of the cost is coming from fuel. That helps Joel Salatin sleep better at night.
The part that helps me sleep better is how resilient his system is to catastrophe. There is so much biodiversity, so much life, that it can withstand a lot of disturbance. Salatin grows his grass long and tall before bringing his cows in to eat it. And then the chickens follow the cows.
So when the rain comes, all those long grass roots hold the soil in place. When the cows come through the fields and eat the grass down to the ground, all the roots build the soil. And the cow's manure is deposited right there. When the chicken follows the cow, it pecks in the manure, breaking it down into the soil. All that organic matter holds water (Organic matter like decomposing manure and grass is like a sponge). In a dry year, the grass stays green, using water stored in the soil.
The most hopeful thing I can see is that farm's like Salatin's are the exception. As more farmers start doing this kind of work, results can only get better. To hear Joel Salatin himself explain his farm's resilience, go to 5:05 in the video below.

Beginning at Horse Creek Trailhead, Horse Creek Trail #3514 heads east and crosses Horse Creek before entering the Three Sisters Wilderness. This crossing currently has a foot bridge for hikers and a designated wet crossing for stock. The trail then heads southeast up the Roney Creek drainage, passing through Douglas-Fir dominant forest and over several small stream crossings. The trail eventually gets steeper, switching back and climbing to the top of the drainage before leveling out on a route to Harvey Creek. The trail continues on a gradual uphill track through thick and thin forest for sevaral miles before ending at Horse Lake.

Allodynia: When Touch Hurts But Shouldn't
Gretchen E. Tietjen, MD
Key Points:
Allodynia is the experience of pain from a non-painful stimulation of the skin, such as light touch.
The type of migraine, the frequency and severity of attacks, and the number of years of the headache disorder relate to the presence and severity of allodynia
Migraine and related pain conditions with allodynia have in common the process of central sensitization, characterized by over excitability of pain nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord
Triptans are less effective in migraine attacks with allodynia
Allodynia means "other pain." It is a pain that results from a stimulus that is not normally painful. Anyone who has ever had bad sunburn has an idea of how painful even light touch can be. When the skin is sensitized, in this example from the sun, wearing a shirt or taking a shower can be very painful. Up to 80% of persons with migraine experience at least one symptom of allodynia during a headache attack. They may describe pain to touch, such as with resting one's head on a pillow, or with wearing a hat, earrings, or necklace. These are examples of "static" tactile or mechanical allodynia. An example of "dynamic" allodynia is pain from lightly brushing one's hair. Another is pain from shaving one's face. Yet another, thermal allodynia, refers to pain due to exposure to either warm or cold. Allodynia is not referred pain, although it can occur outside the area stimulated. It is also not hyperalgesia, which is a pain stimulus more painful than usual.
The severity of allodynia varies widely from person to person. You rate allodynia by the frequency that each symptom occurs and also by how many different symptoms are present. Headache related allodynia occurs more often in migraine than in tension headaches among headaches without a secondary cause. In persons with migraine, allodynia is more common in those with aura, with frequent headache attacks (chronic migraine), and with severe disabling headache attacks. Allodynia is associated with more disability when objectively measured by MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment Scale). The more years a person has migraine the more likely they are to experience allodynia. Women suffer from migraine and allodynia more often than men. Female reproductive hormones lower the intensity of the pain stimulus needed to produce pain. This process known as the pain threshold likely involves processes similar to allodynia. Research shows that being overweight or obese and smoking predispose to allodynia. Obesity is more common in persons with chronic migraine and this may account for the relationship to allodynia. Like female hormones, smoking reduces the pain threshold probably explaining its connection. A stressful childhood marked by emotional abuse increases the frequency of headache and allodynia as an adult. All these facts suggest allodynia is a risk factor for progression to worse headaches. These interesting clinical facts raise questions. Should we use allodynia as a marker for beginning prevention therapy? What causes allodynia? Does the presence of allodynia have an effect on migraine treatment?
Research suggests that allodynia in migraine results from a process within the brain and spinal cord, which make up the central nervous system. Scientists call this process leading to allodynia, "central sensitization". The process begins when sensory pain nerves, known as nociceptors, react to a sensory signal or stimulus. In the case of migraine, inflammation surrounding the blood vessels on the brain surface plays a role. The nerve endings around the blood vessels send signals along the nerves to the central nervous system. This can result in the throbbing head pain of migraine. Acute pain treatment that works stops the signals coming in from the peripheral nerves. When these signals are not stopped the spinal cord and brainstem nerves continue to send their own signals and maintain the pain of migraine. Within as few as one to two hours of activity they become free of what started them in the first place. They become sensitized or hyperexcitable. This is central sensitization. As a consequence, even normal signals into the system, such as touch on the scalp and face, produce abnormal painful responses. The pain feels as if it is coming from the skin but is really the result of a mixed-up processing of sensory signals within the central nervous system. Frequent severe attacks of migraine, particularly migraine with aura, over a long period of time lead to an increased tendency for central sensitization. Allodynia is a manifestation of this central sensitization.
For most persons allodynia resolves when the migraine pain resolves. In some persons allodynia may persist long after the migraine headache subsides. If headaches become daily, allodynia may even become a daily continuous condition. So what, if anything, does allodynia mean in terms of treatment? Treatment effects are unknown for many drugs and treatments. Certain migraine-specific drugs, the triptans, are often less effective when tested in migraine attacks without allodynia. For this reason it is important to treat acute attacks early before allodynia appears. If possible treat before the pain begins to throb. Throbbing is a sign of peripheral sensitization. This process precedes central sensitization. Unlike central sensitization, peripheral sensitization is easy to stop by triptans and other effective migraine therapies. Studies show that some medications work when allodynia is present. Ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and dihydroergotamine work when injected with allodynia present.
People with migraine often experience other chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Fibromyalgia is characterized by tender painful muscles above and below the waist. Like chronic migraine and chronic tension-type headache, scientists believe central sensitization also causes these chronic conditions. These disorders make up a group known as the central sensitivity syndromes. Migraineurs with allodynia are more likely to have these other pain conditions that those without allodynia, as might be expected. Even when these conditions occur without migraine, they may occur with allodynia. Furthermore, the severity of allodynia in migraine correlates with the number of different pain syndromes, offering further evidence that a common underlying cause may link these conditions together. It may be that if central sensitization develops with one condition, this predisposes a person to developing additional pain conditions. Depression and anxiety are also common in persons with allodynia-associated migraine and the other pain syndromes, but the cause for this link remains uncertain.
Allodynia arises from the brain. Stopping pain signals early can ward off allodynia. Preventing pain from coming again can ward off chronic allodynia. Tested treatments are less effective with allodynia so treat before it occurs. If allodynia occurs frequently use prevention to reduce risk of it occurring often.

Now I'm studying the topic that uses the special functions frequently, so I find myself in need for some good reference book on the properties and equalities of the special functions. The optimal one might be the book with dictionary-like or handbook type lists of the properties of the special functions with sufficient amount of proofs. There are many books about the special functions but most of them are lack of proofs, or too pedagogically descriptive textbooks. I would rather prefer the book that I can search up the identities fast and can understand why does the equality hold at least briefly. Is there any good book that meets this condition?

The Bateman Manuscript Project is a good source, as is the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions.
As OP stated he was a physics student in a comment, there are a lot of books called (something similar) to "Mathematical Methods for Physicists", which have relevant references, details and techniques for physicists. I'd probably start with the first two.
And for PDE's, you can look at specific PDE books:
You may consider looking at Oldham, Myland, and Spanier's book An Atlas of Functions which can be purchased used quite cheaply on Amazon. I would dare suggest it is a beautiful book, with very nice graphs on glossy pages. It is large and it is organized by classes of functions. There aren't many proofs in the book, so I'm not sure if that would deter you from this book.
Another route to go is to get Schaum's Outline of Mathematical Formulas, though it may not be detailed enough for you.
I personally prefer online resources:
They are much more convenient to use as compared to books.
Finally, for the proofs, I would recommend
One resource I haven't seen mentioned is the trusty Table of Integrals, Series, and Products by Gradshteyn & Ryhzik. While known primarily as an integral table, this book has a ton of other material including good coverage of special functions.
Further, I second (or third, etc) the suggestion of the Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Abramowitz & Stegun. It is amusing to read a book with numerical tables, however.

Talking cancer is not a pretty topic, but neither is dying from cancer. Living, enjoying life, and being around for all of your family's special occasions is. And, in order to do that, we need to talk cancer.
Being a woman does not shield Moms from developing colon cancer. As a matter of fact, an estimated 24,680* women in the U.S. died from colon cancer in 2009. Imagine how may of those women were Moms.
Here are two things you can do to help raise colon cancer awareness:
Spread the word
The American Cancer Society recommends that men and women aged 50 or older, talk to their doctor about being screened for colon cancer. If you are under age 50, remind the Moms (and Dads) you know over 50 to be screened. The American Cancer Society even has a neat e-card reminder you can send.

Brand New Bimota DB1 For Sale
The diminutive Bimota DB1 was, as it name suggests, the first time the evocative Italian company had used a Ducati powerplant in one of their models. In 1985 the fully enclosed bodywork, 16″ wheels front and rear and Marzocchi M1R fork with Brembo Goldline brakes were the height of trick when it came to motorcycle technology. Our friends at Rare Sport Bikes For Sale have discovered a zero mile, 1986 example for sale on eBay.
This example is a 1986 one with zero miles and has never been started. Just 453 of this base model were made and even fewer examples were produced of the hotter S and SR models. In the words of the seller:-
"Up for auction is a 1986 Bimota DB1. This is a very clean motorcycle that I am selling for my Dad who is selling his collection. This bike is is brand new with zero miles and has never been started. The Vin# is DB100023. The condition of the bike is fantastic. There is no title or mso with this bike. "
There are some issues with this bike since it has no title. The km/h speedometer suggests a gray import. Still, this is a chance to buy an effectively new Bimota, the very first to feature a Ducati V-twin (750cc Pantah as seen in the 750F1).
With 4 days left to run on the auction the price had been bid up to $20,000 but without triggering the reserve. If you want it, go crazy on eBay here.

March 5, 2013
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Former University of Iowa All-American Erik Sowinski was crowned national champion at the 2013 USA Indoor Track & Field Championships last weekend in Albuquerque, N.M.
Sowinski crossed the finish line of the men's 800 meters in 1:47.09 to win the national crown.
"Erik is a special individual on and off the track so he's very deserving of all of his success," said Iowa assistant track and field coach Joey Woody. "The big thing for him is how he's gotten his name out there. His indoor goals were to break the 600-meter American record and back it up with an 800-meter national championship. He accomplished both and now he's set himself up for bigger and better things during the outdoor season."
Former Iowa All-Americans Bethany Praska and Jeffery Herron also placed at the Championships. Praska ran 2:03.57 to finish third in the women's 800 meters, and Herron cleared the bar at 7-1 (2.16m) to place eighth in the high jump.
"It's a lifetime bests for Bethany," said Iowa assistant track and field coach Clive Roberts. "Last year she was fourth and this year she was third, so she's moving along very good and ready for a big showing outdoors."
"Jeffery has been progressing well," added Roberts. "Last year at this time he was jumping 6-11, so to be able to jump 7-1 at the USA Championships shows that he's coming along. I think he's going to be a whole lot better outdoors."
The USA Indoor Track & Field Championships served at the final indoor meet in the USATF Championship Series. All three competitors now transition into the outdoor season and toward the 2013 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, on June 20-23.

Blog about playing Pickup Games and finding Activity Partners
Filed under basketball , Mobile , Pickup Games , Pickup Sports , soccer
One could argue that my background in sports isn't entirely in team sports. I grew up playing sports that most wholesome Midwestern boys played: football, basketball, baseball, swimming and soccer. My football career was stunted by a broken collar bone the day before tryouts my freshman year, but I still managed to play well into my senior year - much to my mom's chagrin after a mind-rattling concussion 2 years later.
My baseball career came to an end after high school as well since Columbia University's baseball stadium was 100 blocks to the north, and I wasn't sure I'd want to play catcher for the rest of my life.
But swimming stuck with me all the way through high school, college and shortly afterwards as I put forth my best effort at Olympic Trials in 2000. I was fortunate enough to train with some of the best swimmers in the world, and was proud to say I was part of a team that sent 5 swimmers to the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
But that's my point. I was on the team, made some great friends, and had others to help me through training, but its only the individual that makes it to the Olympics. And only then do they join ANOTHER team. The "team" is a combination of everyone's best individual efforts, and those individual efforts usually happen in separate events or heats, not simultaneously - like football or basketball.
A former teammate of mine from the Irvine Novaquatics commented on my last post about only experiencing sports to its fullest, which is what got me thinking about this again. Morgan made the case that some of her best stand up paddle experiences were solitary. She might have been hanging out with her friends before or after her session, but while she was "in it", it was just her and the ocean.
There certainly is something to be said for that solitary pursuit and feeling of accomplishment in anything you do. And I agree with Morgan on many aspects.

Spitzer's Laid Out by Health Department
The city can't get enough of Spitzer's Corner.
Bowery Boogie just couldn't resist: "Much like our disgraced ex-governor, Spitzer's Corner is now out of commission" after being DOH'd last night. This comes only a month after the city fined the gastropub for not being the only Spitzer with a penchant for young'uns. [Bowery Boogie via Eater]

So, this episode throws a lot at you. It shook up the status quo, I'll give it that much. Beyond that, I'm not sure how to process all of it.
Kelly Wong makes a heel turn that really comes out of nowhere. It's hinted at before when she starts acting weird around Mimiko and starts cackling when she sees Kotaro off in the distance.
I'm not sure what the deal with that was. She reacts as if she saw Alice, but beyond the fact that they both have blond hair, there's no resemblance. I'm starting to get the feeling that we have a bizarro "Sleepaway Camp" situation going on here. I'd like to think that it will be disproved, but Jiro's actions seem to support the idea that there's more to his brother than it seems.
Kotaro, for his part, joins up with Zelman to bring the group back together. I do enjoy the dynamic between the two. I would have liked to see Kotaro actually fight for himself when he was accosted by those thugs, but oh well.
Meanwhile, Cain and a suppression team try to hunt down Yafuri. It's actually not a bad fight. While Yafuri gets the upper hand, Cain still taunts the boy with criticism on how to be a better fighter. I got a kick out of it.
The resolution of the fight is a mixed bag. It was a spectacle, but it comes out of nowhere. I could buy that he was a potent mystic but having him suddenly turn into a werewolf is really pushing it. This show needs to do a better job of establishing things because there's not a whole lot of consistency here.
The cliffhanger is an oldie, but it was still effectively done. As Wong and Mimiko come across a stash of illegally imported blood to be provided for the vampires, Mimiko calls the company for reinforcements, only to be transferred to Kelly Wong.
While Mimiko tries to keep her composure, the woman's smirk at the end hints that she knows that her ruse has been uncovered. Not that she seems to care, but the possibility of Mimiko playing along doesn't seem like a viable one.
Like I said, this episode throws a lot at you. On the one hand, it's nice to see the story move, but it's a little late in the game. Hinting at some nefarious conspiracy is all well and good, but with only three episodes left, it doesn't leave a lot of time to build up tension as to what their motives are. I'm open to being proven wrong, but I have a feeling that the ending is going to be more than a little rushed.

Say you have two spheres that are partially overlapping. How would I find the volume of the portion of one of the spheres that is not overlapping with the other based on how far apart the two spheres are and the spheres' individual radii?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
You can see this at Mathworld or $V^{(2)}$ under Application in Wikipedia
Assume that the 2 spheres have equal radii. The volume of the intersection is given by
$$V_I = 2 \pi \int_{-a}^{-d/2} dx \: (a^2-x^2)=\frac{4 \pi}{3} a^3-\pi d \left (a^2-\frac{d^2}{12}\right)$$
where $a$ is the radius of each sphere and $d$ is the separation between the centers of the spheres. So the volume in a sphere outside of the intersection is
$$\pi d \left (a^2-\frac{d^2}{12}\right)$$
For the general case, assume that the spheres have radii $a$ and $b>a$. The geometry of the intersection is a lens of thickness $d$, the thickness of the lens surface of radius $a$ being
$$t_a = \frac{a^2-(b-d)^2}{2 d}$$
and that of the lens surface of radius $b$ is
$$t_b = \frac{b^2-(a-d)^2}{2 d}$$
The volume of the lens is then
$$\begin{align}V_I &= \pi \int_{a-t_a}^a dx \: (a^2-x^2) + \pi \int_{-b}^{-b+t_b} dx \: (b^2-x^2)\\ &=\frac{\pi}{12 d}(a+b-d)^2 \left(2 d (a+b)+9 (b-a)^2+d^2\right) \end{align}$$
To get the volume outside of this lens in either sphere, subtract $V_I$ from either $\frac{4 \pi}{3} a^3$ or $\frac{4 \pi}{3} b^3$.

REALTORS® are committed to:
- professional, competent service;
- absolute honesty and integrity in business dealings; and

In addition to our commitment to ethics and professionalism, our members abide by the legal regulations set out by the Province of British Columbia. Any violations to our Code, Standards, Rules, or legislation are brought forward for investigation and disciplinary action at both the Board level and at the provincial level, through the Real Estate Council of BC.
Making a complaint about a REALTOR®
Every year, tens of thousands of BC properties are bought and sold with a REALTOR®'s help. The majority of these transactions close without any problems. Occasionally however, problems do occur.
The Board is empowered by its members to investigate and sanction conduct that does not meet their By-laws, Code of Ethics and Rules of Cooperation. The Board, however, does not have jurisdiction to deal with contractual or monetary disputes and may only deal with complaints as they relate to members' conduct in their capacity as real estate licensees and members.
If you have a complaint about a REALTOR® you have a number of options.
- Talk about it with the REALTOR® first. Problems often occur because of simple miscommunications. If you talk to the REALTOR® about your concerns, there's a good likelihood you can quickly clear up the problem.
- Go to the manager. If you still have concerns after talking to the REALTOR®, go to the Manager of the REALTOR®'s office.
- If you still have concerns, and would like to take the matter further, decide if you should take your complaint to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board or the Real Estate Council of BC (the regulatory body responsible for administering the Real Estate Services Act).

Blackouts. Jail terms. Drunken-driving crashes. Long-term hospital stays. Parents who bury their children. A drop in grades. Loss of friends. Memory loss. Rape.
At one time or another, all of the above have been attributed to alcohol abuse and alcoholism, which is likeliest in those with not only a genetic predisposition, but more importantly, those who start drinking in their teens. That's because the prefrontal cortex, the decision-making part of the brain, doesn't finish developing until the early 20s. So, early initiation can often set the stage for chemical dependence later in life.
"What happens when kids start to drink, when they start to use illicit drugs early on, you kind of disconnect your frontal cortex," says Dr. Stephen Dewey, director of the Laboratory for Behavioral and Molecular Neuroimaging at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset. "They lose the ability to stop, so they lose their impulse control."
Dewey has been spreading the word around the Island. At about a dozen districts, Dewey's lectures are required attendance for high school parents and their kids in order to attend prom. That's in addition to the nearly dozen schools that use breathalyzers to test students suspected of showing up to prom intoxicated.
Of course, trying to keep prom-goers sober is not easy when the limousine is stocked with booze. Matthew Silver, president of Ultimate Class Limousine in Hicksville, says he lost some business, then gained it back, after he enacted a zero-tolerance policy on underage drinking.
"If the kids go to another location and drink and come back to get in the bus and they're not able to walk on their own, we don't let them back on the bus, we call their parents," he says.
The policy has the added benefit of saving his drivers from scrubbing teen puke out of the upholstery.
Of course, kids don't need a special occasion to drink. The weekend is a celebration enough.
For one 16-year-old boy in Suffolk, getting beer for a recent backyard party—the kind that prompt countless noise complaints this time of year—didn't require asking the older kids or siblings for help as usual, they just drank a 36-pack of beer left over from the prior weekend.
His beverage of choice? Bud light, says the fresh-faced high school junior, "or the girls won't drink it." He usually has several parties to choose from where they play drinking games such as flip cup and beer pong, or "BP" for short.
His friend, a 19-year-old LI college freshman, says his fake ID makes things a lot easier, and parents have never shut down their parties. The teenagers will just move the party outside or into the basement, away from the parents—not that there is typically much supervision to hide from.
"Normally parents are home," says a third in the group, another 16-year-old high school student. "They will never drink with us. They'll keep to themselves."
All three asked not to be named in order to speak freely about how they skirt the law to drink alcohol without being 21 years old.
With party season now in full bloom, the question remains: How many more booze-fueled LI teenage parties considered rites of passage will spill from backyard keggers into hospitals, courtrooms and morgues this summer?
Their stories, too, could someday make the news.

The Spanish daily, El País, has an occasional feature called La Cuarta Página (The Fourth Page) which has something of an intellectual bent. Luminaries of the Hispanic intelligentsia, such as Mario Vargas Llosa, the recent Nobel Prize for Literature, write opinion pieces on topics that may not, in fact, be particularly topical – just something they want to let off some cerebral steam about. Sometimes the articles are good, even if you agree with the writer or not.
Other times they´re crap.
The Fourth Page feature on Monday the 26th falls into this category. Entitled La tarea del traductor (The Translator´s Task) by Miguel Morey, a philosophy professor at the University of Barcelona, the piece is one of the best examples of the worst kind of intellectualism in Spain – verbal verbosity to no clear end, or as we at home call it, mental wanking.
What´s really fun about this atrocious piece is the fact that it openly embraces the superiority of the obscure, the impossible to grasp and the traditional over the knowable, to the point of putrefaction. It´s all about the power of Adam, Towers of Babel and the Old Testament. If this article were a cheese, it would be the Asturian Cabrales, so rotten it can practically sprint off to a bar on its own. Yuck.
Morey, having prattled on about writing and translation as the doomed attempt of man to rob the hidden, "divine language" from the Creator, he then attacks the use of what he calls automatic translators. Yet, this isn´t really where he´s going with this incoherent, snobbish and completely useless drivel. No, he´s got a culprit in mind for this fall from linguistic grace.
And who – or what is it? The usual.
Honestly, I was waiting for it (it´s not like I haven´t seen it before) and there it was, in the second last paragraph. A looooong paragraph, in which Morey states that the Curse of Babel is no longer made manifest through the creation of many, diverse languages but one, artificial, neo-language (useless for hiding the unsayable) like, for example, basic english. Yes, without capitals, such is the knowledge of English of this Ivory Tower intellectual.
Astoundingly, however, the climax of Morey´s intellectual onanism is the affirmation that British-American Scientific International Commercial English is trying to impose itself as the obligatory means of expression into which all knowledge is to be translated.
Apart from his primary-school level of reasoning and absence of proof, this is truly offensive.
And I ask myself:-
All what knowledge?
All Spanish knowledge?
All Spanish literary genius?
All Spanish scientific discovery?
Morey´s rambling and pointless "article"?
Er, I think that on a two way street, this guy´s driving in the wrong direction. Go into any Spanish bookshop and what do you find? 90% of the books on sale are translations INTO Spanish of work originally written in English. Open any book translated FROM English into Spanish. What do you find? Such tortured, culturally incorrect prose that you vow never to open another translation in your life.
In a country which has consigned science to the budgetary dustbin and which has broken up the Ministry of Culture and soft-shoed it under an adminstratively hopeless Ministry (or Mystery) of Education, Culture and SPORT carpet, who´s being basic?
When Spain excels at something other than music, gastronomy, tourism, sport, cheap clothes and shoes we´ll talk about Basic English. In the meantime, Mr. Morey, turn your attention to Basic Spanish, so well-represented by your short-sighted, airy fairy and erroneous "article".
Don´t wait for it to be translated. As I said, it´s crap, and nobody would want to translate it into English – or any other language.
Because stuff from Spain that makes it into English has to be worth it.

Nokia Twist Coming to Verizon Sept 13
'Tis the season to come out with new handsets, so says Verizon. Just after learning about the Sept 11 release of the much-anticipated HTC Touch Pro2, Nokia is throwing in a mid-September contribution of its own to the largest US carrier: the Nokia Twist 7705.
This odd squarish-looking device will be showing up to select stores on September 13 while the rest of the nation will launch the Twist on the 21st.
Engadget is reporting that the Twist will sell for $149.99 after rebate on contract, a mere $50 below the Touch Pro2.
The Nokia Twist, true to its name, will be a swivel phone with a square design and will be packed with a 3 MP autofocus camera, bluetooth, EVDO rev 0, full HTML browser, and a swivel-out QWERTY.
Interested? We're intrigued, but will see for ourselves. Leave some of your thoughts in our comments section.

Heartland vinyl replacement windows and doors are individually manufactured to precisely fit the existing openings in your home. Various custom-made styles include patio doors, bays, bows, sliders, double hungs, casements, basement and garden windows. Install Heartland Windows and save on remodeling and energy costs while adding value to your home. Designed with you in mind, Heartland Windows are comfortable to live with and easy to maintain.
Becoming a dominant force in the Midwestern vinyl replacement windows market is no easy task. But Heartland Window Manufacturing Company, specialists in vinyl replacement windows, has achieved that status thanks to a very simple philosophy: sell quality and craftsmanship, not price and false promises.
Heartland offers an extensive line of products that are certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), the Energy Star Windows Program, and the Mid-American Utilities rebate program. These endorsements are possible only through rigorous attention to every detail of the manufacturing process. From linear profiles to hardware and glazings, Heartland uses only the highest quality components available.
What's it take to get the ENERGY STAR Label?
All ENERGY STAR qualifying windows, doors, and skylights are certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). These independent ratings provide the basis for ENERGY STAR'S window performance requirements, which are tailored to fit the energy needs of the country's different climate regions. You can identify the region in which a window qualifies by the map located on the ENERGY STAR label.
What does that mean for the environment?
ENERGY STAR labeled windows are good for the environment because they reduce the amount of energy needed to heat and cool homes. Most energy is produced by burning fossil fuels, which causes air pollution, smog, and global warming. By using energy more efficiently, we can prevent pollution.
ENERGY STAR Windows will provide you with year round comfort and value!
Windows are the ultimate hole in the wall. Windows frame views, provide light, and express the personality of a home.
Smart Windows for smart people!
The ENERGY STAR label provides customer confidence by recognizing window performance. ENERGY STAR windows...It's what you need to know about windows!
Heartland Window makes no other express or implied representation or warranty of any kind regarding the product, whether as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or use of any other matter.
In particular, Heartland Windows assumes no responsibility for glass breakage, improper usage, failure of product, or if the unit is subject to stresses resulting from localized application of heat which causes excess temperature differentials, or if strain is applied to the unit by movement of the building.
In the event that the product fails to conform to the Heartland Window Warranty described, Heartland will, at its option, furnish the purchaser with another product, FOB Heartland Window.
In today's fast-paced world, two things are always at the premium: your time and your money.
Heartland uPVC-vinyl Casement windows are designed to help you keep more of both. Their new generation technology eliminates just about every other type of time-consuming maintenance. And their innovative engineering helps you to save money on your energy bills while keeping your new windows as affordable as they are attractive.
Keeps your free time free
Maintaining ordinary windows can take up the better part of your weekend. So Heartland Casement windows are designed to eliminate most maintenance.
There are no weekend-consuming labors associated with them. Not even storms or screens to repair and change. A little soap and water replaces the frustrating activities of scraping and painting - letting you spend your free time golfing, fishing, or doing whatever you like to do.
Superior function over a lifetime
Casements with compression seals are some of the best and most energy-efficient windows you can buy. Unfortunately, a poor designed casement can also be a real frustration; as the window ages, the sash sags, making it virtually impossible to close or lock (unless you manually push the sash into place from the outside).
Heartland Casement windows are made with an innovative glazing system that prevents sash sagging. Through a unique deal glazing wedge, the weight of the glass is transferred away from the open sash to the center of the window, providing long-lasting operation and energy efficient seals.
Long-lasting beauty
The beauty of Heartland Casement windows is that they look as good as they function. Their New Generation materials are made of unplasticized poly-vinyl chloride (uPVC). This high tech material uses long-lasting impact modifiers and acrylic stabilizers with superior performance characteristics. The result is a window that looks as good 10 years from now as it does today.
Maximum energy efficiency
Nothing can cost you energy dollars faster than a poorly designed or manufactured window. That's why Heartland Casement windows are engineered for maximum energy efficiency.
Their vinyl material and multi-chamber design make them as energy-efficient as the best wood windows. And more than 1000 times better than aluminum. It also helps them keep your home better insulated from outside noise.
Heartland Casement windows have fusion welded corners. Fusion welding creates an airtight seal by essentailly making one continuous piece of material out of the frame and another out of the sash. This eliminates the cracks or openings at the corners that let air - and energy dollars - out.
Smart ventilation, smart options
Heartland Casement windows are designed with homeowners in mind. Unlike conventional casement windows, they are hinged slightly away from the corner when open. This feature provides continuous flow of air no matter which way the breeze is blowing while creating a space for cleaning the outside glass from inside your home.
Even locking and unlocking the window has been made easy. Heartland window locks make hard-to-reach windows easy to reach. They can also be made to better accommodate the needs of the physically challenged, young adults and senior citizens.
Classic looks
Heartland Casement windows are offered in a wide variety of styles that will bring out the unique character of your home. Everything from single casements to casement bow windows are available - all custom-fit to your exact window opening to help you save on remodeling costs while adding value to your home.
Heartland Awning Windows
The same minimal maintenance/energy efficiency benefits of Heartland Casement windows can be found in the awning design.
Classic in appearance these windows include modern Heartland features like long-lasting beauty, convenient hardware, superior ventilation and a wide range of supplementals for fast, easy installations.
Glass options
Glass options include standard clear and low-E energy-efficient glass.
Heartland windows are designed to meet or exceed the most stringent energy and performance standards for the lifestyle you deserve.
Heartland double hung windows are the perfect choice to replace your old windows. Their uPVC vinyl technology virtually eliminates maintenance, helping you save time and money. Heartland designs also provide energy benefits far superior to that of conventional vinyl windows, as well as wood and aluminum windows. And, Heartland double hung windows give you all these modern benefits with a traditional appearance that complements your home.
Elegance that fits your style
Heartland double hung windows are beautifully crafted with clean, smooth faces instead of cumbersome, dirt-catching grooves that are prevalent on many vinyl windows. This styling assures that Heartland windows will enhance and accentuate the character of your home.
Custom fit for hassle-free installation
Unlike conventional systems, Heartland windows are custom fit for every installation. This made to order process helps eliminate drafts, leaks, and energy loss. And it makes your Heartland window easier to install, helping you save money.
Innovative, time-saving design
Heartland double hung windows are designed to help you get your weekends back.
They won't split, rot, warp, chalk, or rust when exposed to the element. There's no painting, staining, or caulking - EVER! You don't even have to change storms and screens to get full energy efficiency in winter and summer.
