What would a nonstandard model which reproduces all experimental quantum data so far but still cause quantum computers to fail when implementing Shor's algorithm look like? Would it have to be very convoluted and conspiratorial, or are there natural models?
In order for Shor's algorithm to fail, you need only some source of fundamental decoherence that is visible for highly entangled many-qubit states, which is not visible for ordinary states.
You can model this decoherence source as a density matrix super-operator which reduces off-diagonal matrix elements. A quantum density matrix generally evolves with a unitary rule:
$$ i{\partial \rho \over \partial t} = [H,\rho] $$
(up to a sign), but there is no consistency restriction forbidding you from adding a decoherence operator to the right hand side, which is an arbitrary linear function of $\rho$. The consistency requires that the trace of $\rho$ is conserved, and there is a further constraint from the fact that the operator is positive no matter what the quantum system is entangled with. The experimental constraints on fundamental decoherence from ordinary quantum mechanical systems is far too weak to guarantee that quantum computers will work. This is the most natural generic modification.
A poor-man's model for this is to just do a partial Wick rotation. To reproduce quantum mechanics from a path-integral, you need to do an analytic continuation from imaginary time correlation functions (which are computable from monte-carlo and therefore incapable of quantum computation) to the exact real time axis. If you only do a continuation to the $(1+i\epsilon)$ real time axis, so that there is a tiny imaginary part, you can do the continuation computationally for any nonzero $\epsilon$, and therefore you don't get quantum computation. Because this is the wrong model (the right model is the previous one), the experimental constraints on $\epsilon$ are absurd, you have to hug the real axis to prevent violations of unitarity and conservation of energy. But because Shor's algorithm take many, many, operations, it is far more sensitive to a tiny $\epsilon$ than few-particle correlation functions which reproduce things like masses and interactions.
The natural models which lead quantum computers to fail are those which are realistic and holographic. There are no well accepted models of this sort, but t'Hooft has been struggling to make such models, and has provided solid intuition for how it should work, if it does work. In a holographic model, there is imagined to be order 1 bit per Planck area on the cosmological horizon, so order $10^{136}$ bits overall (this is more than $10^{36}$ bits per particle in the universe, so there is enough data to always be in essentially the continuum limit). If you make a model which is approximately quantum of this size, it must fail to reproduce quantum mechanics when factoring numbers where $10^{136}$ classical bits just can't do the search reasonably. Such numbers are less than 1,000 decimal digits in size, say 10,000 just to be sure, and are easily factored by a large quantum computer with some hundreds of kilobytes of quantum memory.
A quantum computer running Shor's algorithm or any other quantum algorithm is only composed of simple quantum elementary building blocks of the same kind that can be experimentally tested – e.g. electrons' spins and procedures to transform them. It only differs from the case of several electrons by their large number.
So if a theory exactly agrees with the experimental tests of the predicted behavior of one electron's spin or two electrons' spins or several electrons' spins, its predictions inevitably agree with the predictions of quantum mechanics about quantum computers i.e. with the behavior of Shor's algorithm.
There exists no way to "cherry-pick" applications of quantum mechanics that should be confirmed and those that shouldn't. If a theory agrees with the experimental data about the microscopic world, it inevitably follows that it is a quantum theory and once it is a quantum theory, it inevitably predicts that cool enough etc. arrangements of the microscopic building blocks (I mean qubits) inevitably behave in the way in which quantum computers should behave.
The scenario you propose is exactly as impossible as the desire to construct a theory that predicts the same behavior of several transistors as proper theories underlying electronics but if you happen to combine the transistors to a computer, it doesn't work. Such a combination of facts simply isn't possible. The working of the computer fully boils down to the elementary building blocks – and this is true both for the classical computer composed of transistors as well as a quantum computer composed of spins or other qubits. The classical computer building as well as the "science of quantum computation" isn't a part of science that has the potential to modify the fundamental theories; instead, they are just examples of applied sciences or applied mathematics or engineering – something that uses known laws to create useful devices (in the case of quantum computation, on the paper only so far, but that's for technical reasons only and this fact plays no role in this discussion).
A theory is either correct – being quantum is a necessary condition for that – or incorrect. There can't be any "model" that would agree with the observations but that would also selectively modify some unwanted predictions of quantum mechanics. Quite generally, the term "model" is misleading and could apply to computer programming or set theory but not to physics. In physics, we only use the term "model" if we only modify some detailed technical properties of the laws we use to describe the Universe (or speculate how the Universe could work) but when we change the essential things, we talk about "theories". A framework that disagrees with the quantum mechanical predictions about simple objects such as spins or superposition of quantum states is an entirely different framework, a radically inequivalent theory, and surely cannot be described as "just another model". Such a radically different theory obviously disagrees with the observations, too.

Do you find WWE's statement that they "…may have a modern day Nostradamus on our hands…" in reaction to the Reddit user leaking storylines a bit odd? It seems like a strange response considering how serious Vince McMahon takes creative leaks?
For those that need to catch-up, Deadspin.com reported on Monday there is a Reddit.com user that has accurately spoiled the outcome of every WWE pay-per-view match since Elimination Chamber 2013. The story has gotten a lot of play, prompting the aforementioned statement by WWE (you can read the full statement here. WWE is very concerned about the leak and no matter how nonchalant they are acting to the public, they are working diligently to stop it. Some of you may remember we used to spoil WWE pay-per-views before they aired and here's how WWE stopped us. The company gave a different set of outcomes to everyone in the know and the outcomes that ended up online, ended up catching the leak. Since that happened, we've stopped posting match outcomes. We will report on "talks" or "direction" (as we did when we broke the news about Damien Sandow emerging as a MITB winner) but we will not post match outcomes because of how WWE operates. As for WWE's response to the leak, they are downplaying it because the fact of the matter this is a major problem and something they do not want to have to deal with it.
I was curious that after so much build-up and hype regarding Mark Henry's quest to win the WWE title, is he out of the title picture after just one match?
There is still a chance WWE blows off John Cena/Mark Henry [before SummerSlam] but it looks like they are heading straight into Cena/Daniel Bryan. Mark Henry is still suffering from a rib cartilage injury and WWE had already planned to do Cena vs. Bryan for the WWE title at SummerSlam. Henry was a stopgap program but there are a lot of people that wouldn't mind getting the nod to challenge at the top of the card.
How do workers know when to do "their spot" in matches like the Money in the Bank? E.g. Sheamus going through the ladder, Randy's winning moment, etc.
Matches like Money in the Bank and the 30-man Royal Rumble are laid out just like any other match. The chain goes from creative (after it's approved by Vince McMahon), to the producers to the workers. The workers will get together and discuss what they want to do. There is a lot of communication before the match but during as well, with workers "calling spots" in the ring. The latter is discouraged with WWE broadcasting in HD but it's still done all the time.
It just doesn't look good for TNA these days. Do you see Panda Energy selling it to Vince McMahon? I think TNA has a lot of talent but no one seems to know how to run that promotion or promote it well.
I'm going to push back on this because the fact of the matter is – no one knows the financial state of TNA Wrestling. TNA is backed by a huge corporation in Panda Energy and as long as they are interested in backing the company, they will survive. The massive round of cuts and departures do not make TNA look good but the fact of the matter is, the company is trying to manage a budget. Whenever you are trying to manage a budget, you have to make moves that are unpopular. I refuse to bite on this conjecture that TNA is in its dying days. If they were "dying," do you think they would have called in the extra names that were used on Destination X? I realize it's not expensive to use an "extra" but TNA wouldn't be doing it if they couldn't afford it. Taping television on the road is expensive and unless I hear 100% otherwise, I'm taking the cuts/restructuring as part of an attempt to save money.

I am using sampling to estimate characteristics of a population. My sampling ratio is 32. I take N/32 samples, calculate their sum and multiply by 32. Then I compare it to actual value to get error. It is 3.67%.
Then I take sampling ratio as 64 and do the same and get error as 3.62%. Generally one would expect a higher sampling-error.
Is that possible. Thanks for your reply.

The Ministry of Natural Resources is proposing a small step to control Asian carp, a hugely prolific invasive species that is expected to do hundreds of millions of dollars damage to the beleaguered Great Lakes. Asian carp are most likely to reach the Great Lakes through the Chicago canal, where last ditch efforts are being attempted.
Ontario's comparatively timid response is to release a discussion paper on whether to prohibit deliberate importation of Asian carp unless they have been eviscerated. Why aren't we doing much more?

Top 2015 prospect Te'a Cooper (McEachern High/ Powder Springs, Ga.) verbally committed to the Tennessee Lady Vols on June 5. The No. 12-rated prospect by ESPN HoopGurlz in the class opened up her recruitment in September after de-committing from North Carolina.
Cooper, who was named the state's Miss Basketball in March by the Georgia Sports Writers Association, is the second player from the 2015 class to commit to Tennessee. She averaged 19.6 points, 5.8 asists and 4.4 steals a game and led McEachern to a State title. MeMe Jackson, a 5-11 wing from Blackman High (Murfreesboro, Tennessee), had previously committed to the Lady Vols.
Cooper chose Tennessee over North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Duke, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh.
"I chose Tennessee because I just feel like they were everything I was looking for," Cooper said. "Through the coaching staff, through the team, through the university, the educational part all over to what I wanted to major in, I just felt like it was the team for me."
Cooper will play for Team USA this summer as she was one of 12 players selected last month for theU17 world championship team that will compete in the FIBA U17 World Championship from June 28-July 6 in the Czech Republic. Training camp opens in Colorado Springs, Colorado, next Thursday. The team leaves for France on June 18 for exhibition play that starts June 20.
Cooper's longtime friend and AAU teammate, Diamond DeShields, attended Cooper's announcement ceremony as did a MTV video production crew that has been following Cooper since November. She will be part of an upcoming episode of the network's longtime "True Life" series, based on the recruiting process.
The episode is scheduled to air this summer.
DeShields, who led North Carolina to the Elite Eight as a freshman, is still pondering where she will attend next year after receiving her unconditional release. However, DeShields( @DDeShields23) took to twitter about speculation that she would join Cooper at Tennessee.
"Te'a Cooper is committing on Thursday NOT ME. Just to clear that whole thing up."

College Hockey:Huskies Win Battle of Winless Teams
BOSTON — When the last two winless Division 1 teams in the nation, Vermont and Northeastern, took the ice Saturday night, most of the 1,428 snow-braving spectators appeared fearful that if either team actually won the game, the world would come to a crashing halt.
For the time being, though, NU's 1-0 victory did little to alter the fate of the universe. Except, that is, leave the Catamounts (0-11-2) as the last Division I team without a victory in 2003.
"I think I saw Curious George jump off my back and go running. It felt pretty good, I lost about 10 pounds off the shoulders," said NU goaltender Keni Gibson after his second career shutout. "It was bound to happen sooner or later."
Husky coach Bruce Crowder was happy to see his team's winless streak — the worst start to a season in the 72-year history of the program — vanish like the Boston landscape, which was pelted with over a foot of snow Saturday.
"It was a long time coming, and obviously I feel for [Vermont coach] Kevin Sneddon," said Crowder. "Something had to give with these two teams, and I'm glad it ended up giving on our side."
For Sneddon, the ride back to Vermont will surely be a long one.
"I think it was two mentally fragile teams that were really searching within themselves to come up with a win," he said. "It's a tough thing to be on the schneid, as they say. It was a pretty good hockey game, because both teams wanted to get that win. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out in a positive way for us. We've got to continue to remain as positive as we can and continue to teach and continue to emphasize the little things that will help us win.
"We're mentally fragile to begin with," Sneddon added. "We were that way coming into the game, and we're that way leaving this place instead of feeling a little bit better about ourselves."
Vermont will have to wait two weeks for its next chance to earn a victory, when the Catamounts host Connecticut on Dec. 20.
"We go on break right now for exams," Sneddon said. "Hopefully they'll concentrate on their academics a little bit, put hockey aside and be excited about coming back from the 10-day layoff. That's all we can do right now, just keep pushing them hard and know that our luck will change soon."
Huskie freshman forward Ray Ortiz scored the game's only goal and the first of his collegiate career at the 13:46 mark of the first period. Fellow freshman Yale Lewis threw the puck into Vermont's crease from the right face off circle, and Ortiz tapped in the only goal NU would need to snap its skid.
"I think the nice surprise this year has been Yale Lewis," Crowder said of Northeastern's top freshman scorer with five points. "He's kind of a throwback to the Lake State teams in the late '80s. He's very good in the corners, he's a big body, he doesn't throw the puck away and he makes good plays. He made a nice play to get the puck over to Ray for the tap-in goal."
Northeastern had to weather a late batch of action in its own end to preserve the victory in the third period. Vermont forced Gibson (25 saves) to stop a few shots within the final minutes of play, but center Jason Guerriero blocked a blast by Joey Gasparini with two seconds left to end the rush.
"I was probably most pleased with the last two or three minutes. We haven't had a lot of leads late in the game, and they handled it pretty well," Crowder said with a grin. "We didn't panic."
Both Gibson and Vermont goalie Travis Russell (32 saves) made impressive saves between the pipes, but each received a bit of luck as well. Northeastern cracked four posts on the night, while Vermont players nailed the iron three times.
For NU, the victory ends an unforgiving early season.
"We can't really get caught up in what's happening in the press or what people are saying," Crowder said. "We've just got to stay focused and keep ourselves going in the right direction. For the most part, we've done that over the last six games. My only real disappointment, except for the losses, was the way we played last Saturday night against [Boston College] in the third period. I wasn't impressed, but all the other games we've played extremely well and we kept coming and played hard. We just weren't getting any rewards for our effort."
Northeastern will face Princeton at home on Saturday, Dec. 13, at 7 p.m.

The national debate over gun violence (and gun control) is both heated and polarizing. We believe that a free people should indeed be armed - but guns are not the only tools of empowerment and protection in our human arsenal. What else, other than weapons, can you be armed with in a beautiful, yet dangerous and increasingly volatile world?
With The Gun Show, the 779 Art Collective seeks to "disarm" the fiery rhetoric surrounding the gun control debate (in one small corner of the world) by providing a safe place in which to encourage fresh conversation, new thinking, and thoughtful action. In pursuit of this goal, The Gun Show will feature original video and still-image responses to the phrase, "A free people ought to be armed with ______."
The Gun Show will take place outdoors, in a public park on the 800 block of Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, MA, May 4 - 5, 2013. All chosen works will be projected onto the side of a building, available for all to see.
The 779 Art Collective is a group of arts professionals from diverse backgrounds who are committed to using art as a tool for inspiring community conversations about gun violence and gun control. While we are based at Boston University, we hope to stimulate thoughtful dialogue about gun violence and gun control throughout the City of Boston and beyond.
• Inspire healthy conversations and thoughtful introspection amongst the viewing public about gun violence and the gun control debate

Women's Basketball Game Day: Delaware State
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 01/25/2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Lady Wildcats (8-9, 3-2 MEAC) are looking to capitalize on the momentum of earning the first road win on the season at Savannah State. Bethune-Cookman returns for a three-game Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) homestand, opening Saturday (Jan. 26) with Delaware State (5-11, 2-1 MEAC) at 2 p.m., and capped next Saturday (Feb. 2) with a homecoming rematch with Florida A&M. B-CU has won five of the last six outings against the Lady Hornets and look to extend the current streak to four.
About the Delaware State Lady Hornets
The DSU game is very centered in the post, playing with three forwards, and the Lady Hornets are led by redshirt sophomore forward Tierra Hawkins in both scoring and on the boards. Hawkins averages 17.7 points (4th MEAC, 52nd NCAA) on 48.3 percent shooting, along with 6.7 rebounds per game. However, Hawkins shoots just 60.4 percent from the free throw line.
Aiding Hawkins from the wing, Tasia Bristow also logs double figures, logging 11.3 PPG in addition to 3.2 APG, while leading the team in steals (2.3 SPG).
Fellow forwards Kianna D'Oliveira and Keyanna Tate average 4.1 PPG, 5.1 RPG and 7.0 PPG, 5.9 RPG, respectively. D'Oliveira leads the team in blocks with 1.1 BPG.
DSU is a capable offensive team, but have had struggles with giving up larger opponent totals, trailing by a -7.3 scoring margin this season. The Lady Hornets score 59.2 points per game, as compared with B-CU's 59.9, so the contest could prove to be a defensive shootout.
About the Lady Wildcats
Chastity René Taylor has been her usual consistent force for Bethune-Cookman, collecting her 13th double-figure scoring performance Monday at Savannah State. Taylor averages 14.7 PPG, but has been hitting the boards of late, with 13 in the past two outings, in back-to-back career rebounding performances.
Terrenisha Hollis has been a notable force for B-CU recently, tallying 32 points, with 18 rebounds, in the past three contests. Point guard Shakeyia Colyer has also made an impact, with 17 rebounds and 10 assists the past three games.
MEAC teams have clearly tabbed center Amanda Hairston as a major focus, keying in and limiting her to just 12 points and 12 rebounds, however, Hairston averages 10.7 PPG, 1.9 BPG and 7.3 RPG in the friendly confines of Moore Gym.
The Lady Wildcats look to lean to their strength and force DSU into miscues, allowing B-CU to limit their scoring and force turnovers. Making the crucial layups and free throws are a commodity at home and will go a long way toward spelling a B-CU victory on Saturday.

Live Stats: As always, at home B-CU Athletics will provide live stats during the game at this Link.
Live Video: B-CU Athletics will present a live webstream on CatEye Network at this Link. The webcast will be available for a subscription fee.

The Time for Peace Film & Music Awards launched in New York in 1994 by Marion Einbeck and Robert Einbeck, is a response to the need for popularizing films and music recognized for their artistic quality that further the ideals of humanist values such as tolerance, better understanding between people, respect for differences, and human solidarity.
The award has previously been presented to filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg for Schindler's List and later Amistad, Michael Radford for Il Postino, Scott Hicks for Shine, Caroline Link for Jenseits der Stille (Beyond Silence), Jan Sverak for Kolya, actor Robin Williams for his performance as Sean McGuire in Good Will Hunting, and last year to Edward Zwick for Blood Diamond; in music the award has gone to artists such as Stevie Wonder for Conversation Peace, Jewel for her songs Pieces of You and A Night Without Amor, Charles Trenet for his lifetime achievement, and in 2007 to Charles Aznavour for Colore Ma Vie, to mention only a few ones.
The films and music are selected by the Time for Peace Board of Directors comprised of professionals in the film and music industries and Time for Peace, and the winners by a jury composed of ambassadors to the UN who mark their votes on a special form after screening the DVDs and listening to the CDs.
The intention of Time for Peace is to inspire hope through films and music and to show how heroes who aspire to what is the best in a human life could serve as examples for a large audience.
The idea underlying the award is that art and culture are important catalysts. Films and music have a strong impact on an understanding of the world, while their creation can potentially have a positive influence. Today's show business artists relay messages that are heard by millions of people who, in addition to their role as spectators, are able to integrate the actor's roles into their own lives. - from

"Dear Damon,
I really need your help in getting back some of the money we paid into Premier Debt Settlement. We have written them a letter requesting the refund but they ignore our request. We have since had to file bankruptcy because 2 of our accounts went into liens.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Hello Bobbie,
This is something I can assist my clients with. However I certainly can not make any promises because I can't force any debt settlement company to offer a refund, even if one is warranted. I can certainly point out the obvious benefits to resolving a situation with a dissatisfied client and of course will point out the consequences of them failing to resolve the situation.
Since I cannot guarantee any result and every situation is different, if I am able to take your case, my fee will be only based on a recovery basis. Meaning if I am unsuccessful at persuading the company to do the right thing, I will not charge you anything. I will email you privately to get the details of your situation and from there I can determine if there is something I can do to help you.
Damon is a talented independent debt coach that provides in-depth assistance and consultations for people struggling with debt. If you want a personal debt coach to help you through a difficult situation or want assistance to find secret discounts offered by debt settlement companies I think Damon Day is an excellent person to contact for advice and assistance. He can be reached directly at DamonDay.com

Zoe Nightshade's Quest Prophecy by Artemis015Watch
©2012-2016 Artemis015
This is Zoë Nightshade's prophecy. (Gah, the Hunters of Artemis are SO awesome!) I loved how Percy went to rescue Annabeth and how Artemis saved Annabeth, and the part where Grover, Zoë, Percy and Thalia were at the Hoover Dam and they made those jokes about the Dam Snackbar Lolz!
EDIT: Fixed spelling error; "PERENT'S" to "PARENT'S"
EDIT: Fixed spelling error; "PERENT'S" to "PARENT'S"

SPOILER ALERT- the five will go to Artemis wich is chain, Bianca died in the desert (pretty sad), two hunters and 3 campers (including a satyr) so they are combined, the titans curse is to carry the sky, now the last one that make me cry a lot... Zoe is the one ho died by her father...not copletly she was poisoned first
... Parent****
Sorry, I'm ocd about things like that..
Sorry, I'm ocd about things like that..
There's a spelling error. lol
Ohmigods!!!! I feel SO ashamed! Darn typo!!! Thank you for pointing that out, I'll see if I can figure out a way to fix that.
In my opinion, Titan's Curse is the best dam book in the series, mostly because I adore Thalia. I thought it was funny when she said Apollo was hot and Percy misinterprets it, lol. I cried when Zoe and Bianca died.
Ohmigosh, YES! Titan's curse was my fav and Thalia was my favourite character from the PJatO series (Leo's my fav from THO) Lol, that part was hilarious, and I really liked Zoë, especially the part with the Dam Snackbar, lol!
I loved Zoe
I know! She is such an awesome character! Her, Thalia and Bianca would've made for a pretty fierce trio
I LOVE this prophecy ^_^ probaly one of my favorite books too it has wonderful characters. And I love the "Dam Snackbar"
Yeah, I live Thalia and Bianca and Nico. And of course, who doesn't love PERCABETH. And my fav Greek Goddess is in it!

VMWare / CentOS 5.x
My CentOS VM system was running low on space so a VMWare admin increased the storage space allocated to the VM. After powering off the system and restarting it, the OS is still showing the same old amount of space.
Can someone please advise on what specific steps I need to complete in order to have CentOS 5 recognize the new space? It's my understanding that I'll likely need to run a partitioning tool in order to incorporate the new space.

With warm weather upon us again, it is time to start the annual review of the hot and sexy dresses that will allow your woman to show off the fruits of her hard-earned physique through the cold winter months.
This back strapless dress is a diddy that is sure to make men a bit jealous and make your wallet happy, as it does not cost an arm and a leg. With Obama shooting up gas prices, it's nice to have fashion such as this that will not break the bank.
Now my picked wife is a bit more Godly figured than this women but you can just imagine the heads that will turn in jealousy when you step out in this number. What's even better is that the eloquent straps and design will tickle you so much that you will get to have happy time later.
The dress is still modest, with no flussly leg slips being present and the front being decent too. There is nothing wrong with showing off a nice, toned back so that is a great thing very much.
You can buy this dress for cheap, like I said, but more importantly you can make other people see that being married does not mean your wife cannot look like a million dollars in her cute dress.

- Fascinated

text: Epic Loot (v0.2.7) (Beta)Requires tConfig v0.29.0InstallerSource/Obj (7-zip archive)Github RepositoryWikiElemental Affixes - Example Add-On The Epic Loot mod is designed to add more variation to your loot! Currently it features a new dynamic affix system that overrides the vanilla prefix system. Additionally, Epic Loot may end up making the game easier or unbalanced in some ways - this could be taken care of by using other mods that make the game harder, and I will probably work on balancing a bit in the future. This mod isn't finished, and there may be bugs, so be sure to back up your save files. It hasn't been tested in multiplayer. Epic Loot is released under the GNU GPL license, so you may use the source code however you like, but please do give credit where credit is due. Description Overrides the vanilla prefix system entirely. To clarify, this means vanilla prefixes won't appear when reforging or when items are spawned. Custom prefixes added by mods that use the vanilla prefix system won't appear either. Items that currently have vanilla item prefixes should keep them, but back up your save files if you're worried about losing them. Dynamically generates affixes with random values Higher values are more rare than lower values; it will be very difficult to get the best affix combination Includes ~37 affixes. See this google doc spreadsheet for details. Adds up to 4 affixes to an item Affixes are applied whenever the game would normally apply a prefix. Reforging is possible currently (mostly for testing purposes), but may be disabled in the future. Adds a magic find stat that can be increased by affixes; the stat increases the likelihood of getting higher stat rolls for affixes, and increases the chances of getting multiple affixes. Other modders can create their own affixes in this system. See the Elemental Add-On as an example. The add-on is a separate mod, but requires the Epic Loot mod to be loaded, and adds new affixes. The add-on is very incomplete, mostly just a proof of concept at this stage. Enemies drop random loot which is affected by your magic find stat, and the enemy's damage & defense. What's a dynamic affix?To clarify, the affixes defined and used in this mod are different from vanilla prefixes in the way that they may have random numbers, within a defined range, that are rolled when the affix is assigned to the item. For example, the Angelic affix adds between 10 and 50 HP upon respawning. When you get this affix, the amount of HP it restores varies based on the dice! One that restores 50 HP will be rare and valuable. Random Screenshot:Here you can see an accessory that has three affixes, all of which got the lowest possible rolls. The "Avg Rand" is supposed to give you an idea of how rare your prefixes are - the closer it is to 1, the more rare they are. In this case, the value is really low. I'll probably change how this value is calculated, since taking the average isn't really an accurate assessment of rarity. Changelog v0.2.7 Added new functionality for affixes that can access an array of randomly generated values Added Sacrificial and Kamikaze affixes v0.2.6 Fixed issue with npc affixes appearing as 'bla' in multiplayer Improved NPC syncing logic to use a RNG seed, reduces network data transferring significantly v0.2.5 (April 9th, 2013) Removed the 'Complete' system that overrode health/mana crystal use. This will reduce confusion and simplify the balancing act by giving everyone the same experience instead of splitting it into two versions.There may still be affixes that add to mana and health outright, but the values should be reduced. Slightly nerfed health and mana affixes Fixed to work in tConfig 0.29 v0.2.4 (March 4th, 2013) Updated magic find bonuses - Magic find is increased for each of the three (pre-hardmode) bosses that are defeated in the world. Playthrough magic find bonus - For each boss you defeat, your magic find goes up for the current playthrough. Exiting the world or restarting the game will reset this bonus. 0.2.3 Now utilizing a new method for adding HP through affixes (requires tConfig beta 0.23.8h) Older Changes Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler 0.2.2 Fixed NPC syncing in multiplayer In the default health system mode, HP affixes should be disabled (until I can figure out how to make them work) 0.2.1 Added affixes: 'of Willpower' - Adds mana cost, increases damage 'Vengeful' - Increases damage based on how low your health is. Added requirement for Painful affix to ensure that weapons that get the affix actually get bonus damage Increased minimum bonus damage of Painful affix to 10%, altered some other affix minimums Removed possibility of pickaxes, drills, hammers, or axes being dropped 0.2.0 Added networking code for syncing NPC affixes Added Leeching and Vampiric affixes for ranged/magic weapons Fixed a out-of-range bug in loot drop function 0.1.9 Nerfed NPC Rejuvenating affix Began work on elemental damage/resistance, but code is disabled for now Rearranged code utilizing new modpack builder feature (available in 0.28.2 beta) - the code is now managed as a visual studio solution. Added 'Heavy' and 'Light' melee weapon affixes. Heavy reduces movement speed, and increases damage/knockback, while Light does the opposite. These may need to be rebalanced a bit. 0.1.8 Fixed tooltip for Thirsty affix Disabled Summoner affix for now Balancing: Nerfed loot a bit Fixed loot for worms Nerfed magic find affix Magic find is now increased by 20% in a hardmode world Added 'Stabby' melee weapon affix 0.1.7 Added NPC affixes: 'Quick' - Runs the AI() method multiple times 'Rejuvenating' - Adds life regen. Might be overpowered or underpowered, haven't been able to test much yet. 'Summoner' - NPC Summons another npc of the same type semi-frequently 0.1.6 Added rare chance of obtaining random weapon or armor loot from NPCs. Affixes for the loot and chance of dropping is affected by the NPC's affix power. The items dropped will have damage <= the NPC's damage and defense <= the NPC's defense. Removed Color affix - I'm thinking about making all affixes affect color in some way instead... Added Vampiric and Leeching affixes for weapons (get health or mana on hit) Furthermore, by default you cannot get any extra health or mana from crystals. All health and mana increase must come from affixes. It saves your player's original life stat so if you disable the mod, you will still have the health from before you used the mod. You now start with 100 mana. With the current +health and +mana affixes, you can get up to +320 health/mana (with 5 accessory slots) making the max be 420. There is an option to play with default health/mana system, just toggle it in the tConfig Settings menu. This version should be compatible with other mods that add to health. 0.1.5 - Added a few basic NPC affixes. 0.1.4 - Fixed projectiles 0.1.3 - Rebalanced some affixes 0.1.2 - Fixed some minor things. Rebuilt for tConfig 0.27.5g To-Do (Partially Done) - Determine how to decide what items monsters will drop, and what item drop rates will be. Could be handled in a separate mod. Synchronize magic find stat over multiplayer (add up or average players' values) (Partiallyl Done) - Define environmental magic find modifiers; for instance, hardmode should increase magic find. Maybe different biomes will have different base magic find values as well. Add more affixes Main Concepts (some WIP) Item Affixes - Variation for items! Woot! NPC Affixes - Variation for NPCs. Even more woot! NPCs that are strong might drop better loot! Tile Affixes - Tiles that are spawned during worldgen might have a chance of giving off an Aura that affects the surroundings. Basically, like any other affix, but affects players/npcs in a certain area. Elemental Damage / Resistance - Weapons might get elemental damage applied, along with a debuff or some other effect. NPCs might get an element assigned randomly, with a higher chance of getting the element associated with the biome it spawned in.

Secrets of Success
Restless, irritable, discontent...and tired
Thursday, March 22, 2012
Ah yes, the foreshocks to a major graze-attack, usually involving anything sweet or which is easily eaten during one-arm curls (bowl to mouth). Yesterday I was fixated prior to leaving work on a six-pack of skinny cow ice cream sandwiches. Ate them all before I got home (a similar event had happened in July which spurred the start of the 62 day stretch with no sugar or artificial sweeteners). Today it was the birthday cake for our unit director. Oh well. Back on the wagon again. Staff meetings are always good at stirring things up, especially when there is a disconnect and we're not talking on the same sheet of music. Just show me the data...
On a positive note, I seem to be weaning myself off of caffeine. Just one small cup in the morning rather than a large one followed by an even larger one at work. I'm not sure if it's the brand of coffee or getting a whiff of my own coffee breath when I'm having to wear a mask at work. I've been feeling more thirsty lately and water seems to be what'll do the trick.
Tomorrow's house-cleaning day, so I know I won't be thinking about work...I'll be trying to find places to put stuff that's been piled up and accumulating, hopefully recycling a bunch of stuff, and getting the first round of pollen and cat hair off everything. Hopefully it'll rain and then it'll be easier to play dig-dug in the garden. I need to relocate some grass and get another bed ready---this one will be for soybeans and black beans.
Back in October, I started slacking off a bit on my exercise and food tracking. My exercise lately has been working in the garden/yard. The good news is that I've been able to maintain my weight loss within a 5 pound range. WooHoo!!!!! So at least I've incorporated some healthy habits enough to sustain me.
I feel like I'm rambling a bit; I'm starting to fade. I'm grateful for a day off tomorrow! I'm also grateful for all the support and encouragement I get from my spark buddies!

So glad to see you up and about on SP. I missed your smiles and positivity!
You are doing a great job. Maintaining a 5lb window in terms of your weight loss is pretty much perfect; since weight can fluctuate a few pounds just based on how much water you drank that day. :D
I love that you learn from your mistakes and let go of them right after. It's such a refreshing, liberating, HEALTHY way to address these things! Bravo! You're a great role model for others on this journey!

We offer more than 45,000 non-perishable grocery items--and our selection is growing every day. We can ship all products for free, via Super Saver Shipping, Prime, or free standard shipping We have great everyday prices plus special offers on your favorite brands
At Webvan you'll find longtime staples, from Kellogg's to Jiffy Pop. You'll find new entries, such as Kashi cereals and Kraft Easy Mac microwavable snack packets. And when we carry a brand, we'll try to carry every flavor available: For example, you'll find all varieties and flavors of Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn, from Smart Pop to Pour Over Cheddar. We're also making regional favorites like El Sabroso available nationwide, and making hard-to-find specialties like Zico Pure Coconut Water a standard part of our mix.
We also have an extensive selection of natural and organic products. If you haven't heard of Immaculate Baking Company or Bear Naked, let us be the first to introduce you to these earth-friendly brands and their fantastic products.
Our goal at Webvan is to make sure you find the products you want, available at a competitive price. To do this, we're working with our manufacturers on ways to keep per-unit costs low. For example, items you purchase might come in larger packs than you see at a traditional grocery store, and we might ship a product in a manufacturer's original case.
All products offered in Webvan are eligible for some form of free shipping. Most are eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping and Prime. Some exceptionally heavy or bulky items, such as paper towels, have been excluded from these programs to avoid inefficient air transportation. For these items, we offer free standard shipping, so you will receive them within three to five days of ordering.
Because we only carry products when we can offer great prices and free shipping, we don't carry everything (yet!). For example, we don't currently offer perishable items such as milk, fresh meat, or peaches, because we can't ship these for free. But, we work on improving our selection every day, so check back often to see what we've added.
How Does It Work?
Webvan uses the same great Amazon.com technology and features you know and trust. Simply browse or search for the items you're interested in. On the product detail pages, you'll find comprehensive product details plus customer reviews from the Amazon.com community of customers, making it easier to find new products to try.
When you've found what you want to buy, simply add the items to your cart and enter your Amazon.com username and password to check out.

We even offer the same high-quality customer service you've come to expect from Amazon.com, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Using Green Agriculture to Stimulate Economic Growth, Attain Food Security (Kenya, Canada, US, Germany, Panama)
Organizing partnersIsrael
IntroductionTITLE - Using Green Agriculture to Stimulate Economic Growth, Attain Food Security and Eradicate Poverty
In October 2011 an Expert Group Meeting on Using Green Agriculture to Stimulate Economic Growth, Attain Food Security and Eradicate Poverty, was held in Israel as a contribution to the preparation for Rio+20
The meeting took place in co-operation with UN-DESA and was attended by representatives from 28 countries, three UN organisations and representatives of civil society and major groups; thus the full geographical spectrum was represented.
The purpose of the meeting was to raise awareness of the central role that green and sustainable agriculture can play in stimulating economic growth and combating poverty, and ultimately attaining food security, through the sharing of approaches, best practices and lessons learned.
One of the recommendations of the meeting was to present the EGM Chair's summary at the Rio+20 Conference.
Detailed programmeThematic Focus:
Through the presentation of the EGM Chair's summary and consequent discussions, the thematic focus will be on the central role that green and sustainable agriculture can play in stimulating economic growth and combating poverty, and ultimately attaining food security, through the sharing of approaches, best practices and lessons learned.
One of the main conclusions from the meeting was that green agriculture should be recognized as a tool for economic growth and poverty eradication and should be highly prioritised by governments. It was also concluded that green agriculture should constitute one of the main topics to be addressed during the Rio+20 Summit, in light of its central role in the green economy and its importance in facing the challenge of food security.
Some of the key messages included the following:
a) A global effort is required, to strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems, increase global food security, reduce poverty,
and improve nutrition, whilst creating economic growth, and protecting and renewing the environment.
b) Infrastructure must enable natural resource conservation, capacity building of farmers and other stakeholders, access to
financial means, legislation, research and development, extension, public finance and planning.
c) A global resource centre of best practices, tools, knowledge, experiences and technologies should be developed for the
benefit of all countries.
d) Appropriate policies for both small and large scale farmers must be adopted whilst considering the development level of the
country. One size does not fit all.
e) Green agriculture refers to all components of the production and marketing chain, in particular post harvest management.
f) Best management practices should be encouraged.
g) Links among research-extension-industry and farmers should be strengthened.
h) Public-Private-Partnerships are important for implementation of green agriculture.
Contribution to the outcome of UNCSD / Rio+20:
The outputs from the Expert Group Meeting contribute to the UNCSD, exploring how green and sustainable agriculture can contribute to a green economy, addressing the importance of sustainable agriculture in ensuring food security, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and stimulating economic growth in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication.
Side Event Format and Speakers:
Organisation: The event will be based on collaborative partnering and involve several co-organisers. Germany, United States, Kenya, Panama and Canada will be appointed as co-organisers.
The format: The EGM Chair's summary will be presented and complimented by a panel of representatives from the countries that are participating as co-organisers and who participated in the meeting in Israel. The representatives will present their perspectives, policies and their expectations for the outcome of Rio+20 in this regard. After the presentations, the session will open up for discussion around the points raised to encourage and stimulate further debate.

Your coworker said you have created a game changer when it comes to aneurysms.
Dr. Starnes: Since the inception of vascular surgery back in the fifties and sixties we as vascular surgeons have been faced with patients presenting with aortic aneurysms. Aneurysms are a widening of a blood vessel and they can go on to become large enough where they burst or they rupture and patients usually don't do so well when they rupture. In fact, the mortality rate for patients presenting with ruptured aortic aneurysms has been routinely in the forty to fifty percent range for the last twenty five years. With new techniques in treating these aneurysms again to prevent death due to rupture we have been able to lower that mortality rate for the first time in twenty five years to below twenty percent.
What was the key to doing that?
Dr. Starnes: The key to doing that was to set up a process here at Harborview Medical Center and UW Medicine to implement a minimally invasive procedure where we actually keep the patients awake under local anesthesia while we're fixing their ruptured aortic aneurysm. We use exactly the same stent grafts that we would use to treat a patient with an asymptomatic aneurysm that was coming in for an elective repair but we use that in an emergency setting. Now that takes coordination of care, it takes a finely greased team to kind of pull that off in a very brief period of time because we don't have that long to treat a patient that's in hemorrhagic shock.
So what about people who come in and they have a slow growing aneurysm?
Dr. Starnes: Right, so there was a small percentage of patients that we could not treat with these minimally invasive techniques and that's why we came up with the idea of PMEG. And PMEG is physician modified endovascular grafts. And what we're able to do is to actually un-sheath sterilely a conventional stent graft that would be applicable to a large number of patients. And actually cut holes in the sides of the graft to be able to treat more patients by going higher in the aorta.
But you're the only person in North America who is doing this.
Dr. Starnes: Well there are other people that are kind of working with this but I'm the only one that's working directly with the FDA in doing physician modified endografts.
How did you come up with this idea?
Dr. Starnes: Well, fenestrated techniques go back in to the late nineteen nineties in Australia. There were a couple of pioneers that really were pushing the envelope and started to do this. And some of these grafts are available throughout the world but they take a period of months to manufacture. Whereas we are able to create the graft on the back table immediately while the patient is brought in to the room.
And how do you create it?
Dr. Starnes: Well we actually use a software program where we take a patients CT scan images and we get precise measurements down to the tenth of a millimeter as to where those branch vessels are and we figured out how to transfer that on to an existing graft and really customize the graft for the patient.
I'm getting a picture in my head where a normal stent would just cut off all those.
Dr. Starnes: That's right. In order to be a candidate for an endovascular aneurysm repair you have to have certain anatomic features. You need to have a landing zone below the level of the arteries that feed the kidney and you have to have landing zones down the iliac arteries. And most patients that are ineligible for a conventional repair usually have very short necks where if we were going to put a stent graft in would have to cover the arteries that feed the kidneys or the arteries that feed the bowel. And patients don't do well when you cover the arteries that feed the kidney or the bowel because they'll go in to renal failure and without blood flow to the bowel the patient will die.
Let's talk about Betty what was she like when you first met her?
Dr. Starnes: So she's an elderly woman she has some other medical co-morbidities that do not make her a candidate to undergo a standard open abdominal operation. And she is not a candidate for a standard minimally invasive endovascular procedure and so we enrolled her in to our PEMEG trial in order to be able to prevent death from rupture of this aneurysm. And we were able to go up and cover one of her renal arteries with a fenestrated PEMEG graft and then stent in to that renal artery.
So she's completely fine now?
Dr. Starnes: Yes, she's great and actually in one year after completing this procedure she has decreased the aneurysm sack size down to where it doesn't even appear that she has an aortic aneurysm anymore.
So what was her option?
Dr. Starnes: Well her options were few. She could do nothing in which case her risk of rupture with a greater than six centimeter aneurysm was on the order of twenty percent per year. And so she was facing anxiety over living with this aneurysm knowing that at any time it could rupture and she would succumb to her aneurysm.
So there was no other fix for her?
Dr. Starnes: There were no other options other than to do nothing.
I'm picturing you in the operating room cutting little holes in the stent just to allow openings to the artery right?
Dr. Starnes: Yes. So, we un-sheath the graft and we use calipers, fine calipers to measure from the edge of the fabric material down to where we want that hole to be. And then we use an opthamic bovee, a cautering device to actually heat up a tungsten wire and to actually burn a hole in to the fabric between a few of the stents. And then we sew a gold, a solid gold marker around that fenestration which allows us to see it on screen to be able to manipulate the device and then to maintain profusion in to that vital blood vessel.
What's that like knowing you can be changing the game just like you said?
Dr. Starnes: Well that's why I do what I do. I mean that's why I jump out of bed every morning and come in to work because it's exciting to be in this field. It's one of the most exciting surgical fields there is today.
Did your time in Iraq help you push forward any of these advances, I mean because of the emergency room the quick response that you needed?
Dr. Starnes: Yes, my experience in the military was a great experience. I had fifteen years, I had an honorable discharge as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2007 and I had three combat tours one to Kosovo and one to Iraq. I'm very proud of my service to my country and I think that I was able to learn a set of skills that was not necessarily technical skill but survival skill if you will in terms of not being shy to turn away from emergent situations. And also being able to cope with pretty challenging and I guess stressful environments where working in a major trauma center like Harborview is a luxury compared to working on the battlefield.
Do you want to talk about the recovery difference between traditional surgery? What about for Betty?
Dr. Starnes: Betty was not a candidate for an open surgical repair because her mortality was excessive with an open repair. But if she had undergone an open operation her recovery time would be on the order of weeks to months where she would be in the hospital for about seven to ten days to include three or four days in the intensive care unit. And then it would probably take her on the order of three to six months to fully recover from the operation and some people have told me that it took them an entire year to recover. Whereas with the minimally invasive approach like PMEG the patients can be done under local anesthesia and they can actually go home the day after the procedure and they're back to full recovery within a week.

Car companies are pushing their new wares this week at the annual New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) at the Javits Center in Manhattan. Never mind that most of the locals don't even own a car. However, they will join tire kickers from all over the east coast to see the latest cars that promise to go fast or go green. See www.autoshowny.com for more information on the NYIAS.
Want to go fast? Check out these very fast and super sexy 2015 models: Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible, Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition and the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe. We opted to exclude from the list the limited production cars with giant price tags such as Ferrari and Lamborghini. They also can go very fast.
Check out these eco-friendly cars that get really good gas mileage. The Cadillac ELR is like a rebadged Chevrolet Volt with a luxury cabin. Cadillac set the price at around $75,000 and claims 90 mpg. BMW has two models to consider. The i3 is an all electric battery powered car that has a 100-mile range, takes 3.5 hours for a full recharge and cost about $42,000. The high performance hybrid BMW i8 will be in showrooms later this year but carries a hefty price tag of $135,000. Its combination of gasoline engines and electric motors results in about 90 mpg.
Next year, you can expect a Toyota FCV hydrogen powered vehicle that can go 300 miles on a single hydrogen fill. The only tailpipe emission is water. No price has been announced. Also, Volkswagen has a European only model that gets 260 miles per gallon. It is in limited production, only seats two and costs over $100,000.
The entire automotive world is not focused entirely on New York. Chrysler, Ford and GM are using the concurrent Beijing International Auto Exhibition to heighten Chinese interest in American cars. See www.chinaexhibition.com for more info.
