I have a question about Rockboxing a Clip+.
I have a 32 GB card in it, with 6570 songs, and the internal memory has 1126 songs. Together that's 7696 songs. But the Clip+ itself, even after rescanning the player and the card, only lists 5544 files. That's 2152 songs that aren't being displayed, played or listed anywhere on the device.
I've been told there is some sort of internal list on the Clip+ that has a limit as to the number of files it can store. Does Rockbox remove this cap, and would it allow full access to all songs? I've looked this matter up on the Rockbox site, but I can't find an answer on their FAQs or their wiki. Other sites I've asked either yielded no replies at all, or vague half-answers.
I was hoping someone here might know from their own experience with a similar setup.

Rome - Italy forward Mario Balotelli has withdrawn from manager Cesare Prandelli's squad for Wednesday's friendly against England due to conjunctivitis, the Italian football federation said on Monday.
A statement on the federation website (www.figc.it) said the Manchester City forward had been replaced by Udinese's Diego Fabbrini for the match in Berne.
Balotelli, who scored three goals at Euro 2012 as his side finished runners-up in the tournament, was also absent from City's Community Shield win over Chelsea on Sunday due to the eye infection.
The Italians face England who will be without first-choice goalkeeper Joe Hart (back), forward Daniel Sturridge (toe) and winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (ankle), after all three withdrew through injury.

ISC Begins BIND 10 Development
After 10 years the industry-independent Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) is embarking on a completely new BIND implementation with BIND 10. Its patrons and sponsors should ensure that the market leader in DNS implementation is more secure, flexible and highly scalable, although developers are keeping the details close to their chests at present.
Admins have always had a mixed relationship with BIND. Although it has a DNS nameserver market share of almost 75% worldwide, its configuration has proven to be somewhat tedious and difficult when it comes to high availability. ISC president and DNS maven Paul Vixie feels that this should soon change with the help of its dozen or so patrons and sponsors among domain registries. The nonprofit organization can then focus on developing BIND 10 under a BSD-like ISC license based on their financing.
Even with full details on BIND 10 missing, ISC sketched out some cornerstones of its design. One among them is that BIND 10 will support DNSSEC. Many security experts called for higher security measures as a critical Internet infrastructure for DNS after they publicized holes in the protocol.
BIND 10 should undergo some modularization to provide more interfaces, including to background query databases. It will also provide new forms of interaction with monitoring and configuration environments, enabling a closer coupling between DNS and DHCP servers to allow not only IP address but also hostname allocations. One thing where developers agree is that BIND 9 left too many opportunities for DoS attacks by dumping and exiting on the slightest error. BIND 10 will use reset-and-continue as the normal response to attacks instead.

Should you eat before a workout?
I wasn't sure on this subject, if you eat before a workout and if you do....like 30 minutes before the workout or
what's a good time before you workout?
secondly, for protein shakes...are they used better before a workout or after a workout?

I try to eat a smalll meal like an hour B4 I workout, 2eggs n toast or turkey sandwich.. If you take the protein shake, wiat like 1.5hrs or so, protein takes longer for your body to break down, though it is liquid, so i'm not sure if that would help..
After workout, eat lots' of protein, not only a shake, and get some carbs back into ya, like a banana or carrots or somthin.

"Electric vehicles powered by renewable energy sources can play a bridging role in the EU's plans to move towards a greener, more sustainable transport system, and in meeting its goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80‒95% by 2050. However, larger numbers of electric vehicles will not be enough for the shift to a low-carbon economy. Other problems such as growing demand for transport and congestion remain and need to be addressed as well," said Hans Bruyninckx, EEA Executive Director.
Several scenarios were explored, including one model where electric cars have an 80% share of the EU's total car fleet in 2050. Additional electricity generation will be required in the EU to meet the higher energy demand. The need for extra power will be higher if other sectors like industry or households do not follow through on planned energy efficiency improvements. The use of renewable energy in 2050 will also have an effect on the level of emissions from the power-generating sector.
Overall, the resulting carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reductions in the road transport sector would outweigh the higher emissions caused by the continued use of fossil fuels in the power-generating sector. In the EU, a net reduction of 255 million tonnes of CO2 could be delivered in 2050. This amount is equivalent to around 10% of the total emissions estimated for that year. However in countries with a high share of fossil power plants, environmental benefits would be lower. This would also lower the benefits of using electric vehicles in these countries.
An 80 % share of electric vehicles would also significantly reduce overall emissions of certain air pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). For other pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (SO2), emissions could increase due to the continued use of coal in the electricity generation sector.
A larger number of electric cars on the road may pose future challenges for Europe's power production capacities and put stress on existing power grids. Under the 80% scenario, the share of Europe's total electricity consumption from electric vehicles would increase from around 0.03% in 2014, to 9.5% by 2050. A more extensive infrastructure providing more public charging points would be key as well as increased power capacity able to handle a larger European car fleet. The assessment stresses that closer coordination between the road transport and energy sectors on policy making and investments will be crucial.
Today's briefing is complemented by the publication of a new EEA guide on electric vehicles in Europe, which provides a non-technical summary of the latest information on electric cars in Europe, including those with hybrid technologies. The guide specifically focuses on the electric passenger cars currently on the market, and describes how they work and the challenges and incentives in place they face in achieving their broader use. Sales and use of electric vehicles are increasing, but they currently only make up 1.2% of total passenger car sales in the EU. Current estimates also show that electric cars only account for 0.15% of Europe's total car fleet.]]>
Hans Bruyninckx, EEA Executive Director, said: "It is positive that Europe has been able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions substantially since 1990. It is an important step towards reaching our 2030 and 2050 climate targets. To accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon society, we need to further boost our investments in technology and innovation aimed at reducing our dependence on fossil fuels."
The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the 24-year period was due to a variety of factors, including the growing share in the use of renewables, the use of less carbon intensive fuels and improvements in energy efficiency, as well as to structural changes in the economy and the economic recession. Demand for energy to heat households has also been lower, as Europe on average has experienced milder winters since 1990, which has also helped reduce emissions according to an analysis linked to the inventory.
The European Union greenhouse gas inventory is an annual report compiled by the EEA covering emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases from 1990 to two years before the current year. It is the official submission of the EU to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It also constitutes the official submission of the EU plus Iceland under the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. In autumn, the EEA will publish early estimates for the 2015 emissions in the EU, and also a trends and projections report, looking ahead to assess progress against emissions targets.
Science shows that we need to reduce global greenhouse-gas emissions substantially in order to avoid the most adverse impacts of climate change. It is also clear that we need to adapt to our changing climate. Even with substantial reductions in our greenhouse-gas emissions, our climate is expected to change to some degree and the impacts of this will be felt across the world, including in Europe. Floods and droughts are expected to become more frequent and intense.
'The severity of climate change will depend on how much and how quickly we can cut greenhouse-gas emissions released into the atmosphere. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our times. It is a global problem and concerns us all. The scientific community strongly recommends limiting the rise in global average temperatures and reducing greenhouse-gas emissions to avoid adverse impacts of climate change,' says Hans Bruyninckx, EEA Executive Director.
Recent research estimates that without adaptation actions heat-related deaths could reach about 200 000 per year in Europe by 2100. The cost of river flood damages could be more than EUR 10 billion a year. Faced with current and future impacts, Europeans need both to mitigate and to adapt to climate change.
Measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change are often considered to be expensive, and are seen as an additional burden on the economy. But European countries are already spending public and private funds on research, infrastructure, agriculture, energy, transport, urban development, social protection, health, and nature conservation. Re-directing our existing expenditure towards climate-friendly and sustainable options can not only help us mitigate and adapt to climate change, but also help create new jobs.
Signals 2015 consists of nine articles, including two interviews. It explains how climate change is currently impacting Europe and how it is expected to impact in the future. Signals also provides information on the main sectors contributing to climate change as well as the EU's efforts to adapt and mitigate, while taking closer look at investments, soil, oceans and food production in the context of climate change.]]>

Major disappointment
I was planning a special mommy and daughter trip for my 3 year old, who loves swimming. So I searched for hotels with pools. Their website had great pictures of their lovely outdoor pool. My little girl was so excited. After we got there the first thing she wanted to do was swim. We got all ready and walked over, only to find a large sign that said "temporary out of service" and a big padlock on the gate. The website made no mention of the pool being closed. My daughter was so sad and I had to break my promise to her and did not get to take her swimming.

Linux Network Programming, Part 1
Like most other Unix-based operating systems, Linux supports TCP/IP as its native network transport. In this series, we will assume you are fairly familiar with C programming on Linux and with Linux topics such as signals, forking, etc.
This article is a basic introduction to using the BSD socket interface for creating networked applications. In the next article, we will deal with issues involved in creating (network) daemon processes. Future articles will cover using remote procedure calls and developing with CORBA/distributed objects.
The TCP/IP suite of protocols allows two applications, running on either the same or separate computers connected by a network, to communicate. It was specifically designed to tolerate an unreliable network. TCP/IP allows two basic modes of operation—connection-oriented, reliable transmission and connectionless, unreliable transmission (TCP and UDP respectively). Figure 1 illustrates the distinct protocol layers in the TCP/IP suite stack.
Figure 1. TCP/IP Protocol Layers
TCP provides sequenced, reliable, bi-directional, connection-based bytestreams with transparent retransmission. In English, TCP breaks your messages up into chunks (not greater in size than 64KB) and ensures that all the chunks get to the destination without error and in the correct order. Being connection-based, a virtual connection has to be set up between one network entity and the other before they can communicate. UDP provides (very fast) connectionless, unreliable transfer of messages (of a fixed maximum length).
To allow applications to communicate with each other, either on the same machine (using loopback) or across different hosts, each application must be individually addressable.
TCP/IP addresses consist of two parts—an IP address to identify the machine and a port number to identify particular applications running on that machine.
The addresses are normally given in either the "dotted-quad" notation (i.e., 127.0.0.1) or as a host name (foobar.bundy.org). The system can use either the /etc/hosts file or the Domain Name Service (DNS) (if available) to translate host names to host addresses.
Port numbers range from 1 upwards. Ports between 1 and IPPORT_RESERVED (defined in /usr/include/netinet/in.h—typically 1024) are reserved for system use (i.e., you must be root to create a server to bind to these ports).
The simplest network applications follow the client-server model. A server process waits for a client process to connect to it. When the connection is established, the server performs some task on behalf of the client and then usually the connection is broken.
The most popular method of TCP/IP programming is to use the BSD socket interface. With this, network endpoints (IP address and port number) are represented as sockets.
The socket interprocess communication (IPC) facilities (introduced with 4.2BSD) were designed to allow network-based applications to be constructed independently of the underlying communication facilities.
To create a server application using the BSD interface, you must follow these steps:
Create a new socket by typing: socket().
bind an address (IP address and port number) to the socket by typing: bind. This step identifies the server so that the client knows where to go.
listen for new connection requests on the socket by typing: listen().
accept new connections by typing: accept().
Often, the servicing of a request on behalf of a client may take a considerable length of time. It would be more efficient in such a case to accept and deal with new connections while a request is being processed. The most common way of doing this is for the server to fork a new copy of itself after accepting the new connection.
Figure 2. Representation of Client/Server Code
The code example in Listing 1 shows how servers are implemented in C. The program expects to be called with only one command-line argument: the port number to bind to. It then creates a new socket to listen on using the socket() system call. This call takes three parameters: the domain in which to listen to, the socket type and the network protocol.
The domain can be either the PF_UNIX domain (i.e., internal to the local machine only) or the PF_INET (i.e., all requests from the Internet). The socket type specifies the communication semantics of the connection. While a few types of sockets have been specified, in practice, SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM are the most popular implementations. SOCK_STREAM provides for TCP reliable connection-oriented communications, SOCK_DGRAM for UDP connectionless communication.
The protocol parameter identfies the particular protocol to be used with the socket. While multiple protocols may exist within a given protocol family (or domain), there is generally only one. For TCP this is IPPROTO_TCP, for UDP it is IPPROTO_UDP. You do not have to explicitly specify this parameter when making the function call. Instead, using a value of 0 will select the default protocol.
Once the socket is created, its operation can be tweaked by means of socket options. In the above example, the socket is set to reuse old addresses (i.e., IP address + port numbers) without waiting for the required connection close timeout. If this were not set, you would have to wait four minutes in the TIME_WAIT state before using the address again. The four minutes comes from 2 * MSL. The recommended value for MSL, from RFC 1337, is 120 seconds. Linux uses 60 seconds, BSD implementations normally use around 30 seconds.
The socket can linger to ensure that all data is read, once one end closes. This option is turned on in the code. The structure of linger is defined in /usr/include/linux/socket.h. It looks like this:
struct linger { int l_onoff; /* Linger active */ int l_linger; /* How long to linger */ };
If l_onoff is zero, lingering is disabled. If it is non-zero, lingering is enabled for the socket. The l_linger field specifies the linger time in seconds.
The server then tries to discover its own host name. I could have used the gethostname() call, but the use of this function is deprecated in SVR4 Unix (i.e., Sun's Solaris, SCO Unixware and buddies), so the local function _GetHostName() provides a more portable solution.
Once the host name is established, the server constructs an address for the socket by trying to resolve the host name to an Internet domain address, using the gethostbyname() call. The server's IP address could instead be set to INADDR_ANY to allow a client to contact the server on any of its IP addresses—used, for example, with a machine with multiple network cards or multiple addresses per network card.
After an address is created, it is bound to the socket. The socket can now be used to listen for new connections. The BACK_LOG specifies the maximum size of the listen queue for pending connections. If a connection request arrives when the listen queue is full, it will fail with a connection refused error. [This forms the basis for one type of denial of service attack —Ed.] See sidebar on TCP listen() Backlog.
Having indicated a willingness to listen to new connection requests, the socket then prepares to accept the requests and service them. The example code achieves this using an infinite for() loop. Once a connection has been accepted, the server can ascertain the address of the client for logging or other purposes. It then forks a child copy of itself to handle the request while it (the parent) continues listening for and accepting new requests.
The child process can use the read() and write() system calls on this connection to communicate with the client. It is also possible to use the buffered I/O on these connections (e.g., fprint()) as long as you remember to fflush() the output when necessary. Alternatively, you can disable buffering altogether for the process (see the setvbuf() (3) man page).
As you can see from the code, it is quite common (and good practice) for the child processes to close the inherited parent-socket file descriptor, and for the parent to close the child-socket descriptor when using this simple forking model.
Great tutorial. Thx. I
Great tutorial. Thx. I recomment also Beej tutorial.
REQ:multiple client - server communication
good explanation for starters, i have a question, how does the server able to maintain the communication between the multiple clients? how does the server identifies that this particular message have come from this particular client only?
help me out!
u have asked a nice question..........
A) when multiple clients connect to a server at first we r using "listen" which creates an socket and then accepts the connections from a client at this point an another socket is created and the original socket "listen" will remains available for future connections and this listen socket behaves as a file descriptors gives u a method of serving with multiple clients...
And u asked one more question how the server identifies , this is done by u r OS(operating system) maintains a table in the kernel that which client is connecting to which server...

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgeryby Steven Wexner David E. Beck Michael J. Stamos Anthony J. Senagore Theodore J. Saclarides Patricia L. Roberts
Developed in conjunction with the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, this comprehensive textbook provides readers with the full scope of surgical practice for patients with diseases of the colon and rectum. Expert surgeons, all active both as educators and with busy clinical practices, have written concise and practical chapters on the most commonly done procedures while providing much-needed insight on less frequently presentations, as well. The ASCRS Textbook is designed to meet the needs not only of colorectal specialists, but also the general surgeon in practice whose caseload includes patients with disorders and diseases of the colon, rectum and anus. Residents and fellows will also find a wealth of hands-on guidance and practical tips and tricks. The ASCRS Practice Parameters are incorporated in the book along with an appendix providing the most up-to-the minute access to best practice guidelines. Patient care and safety are addressed in each chapter. "[The ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery] is a long awaited textbook for those in the field and it does not disappoint. It is brief and to the point, but does not lack the necessary detail expected from a society-produced publication. [It has an] easy-to-read quality that enhances comprehension for the trainee. It is by no means just a student textbook. The inclusion of "hot" current topics, like the anal fistula plug, makes it fresh and useful for experienced surgeons. This is an excellent addition to the colorectal library." (Doody's Review)

Posted on 01/30/2005 5:37:56 AM PST by dennisw
Results 1 - 100 of about 1,350 for iraq elections.
All Iraqi voters get a certain kind of purple heart for pushing away the terrorists to vote
Great photos!
Hey Teddy put that fat in your mouth and chew it...if you can fit any more that is
I have already made copies of some of these pictures, and will be posting them in my classroom on Monday Morning.
Thank you for posting them.
The Iraqis have shown that yes, the loss of American lives was worth it! Thank you, Iraqis!
Semper Fi,
I took some heart from seeing the lines in the Al Anbar province pictures. It appears at least some people are voting in the Sunni Triangle.
I have come to the conclusion my eyes will not be dry for days.
Wonderful pictures, dennisw and thanks for the ping, Jay.
it was nice of Reuters to include the phrase
"Insurgents unleashed a wave of bloody attacks on Iraq 's historic election on Sunday, killing at least 22 people and wounding dozens in suicide bombings and mortar strikes at polling stations across the country"
over and over, for each photo, to remind us how 'catastrophic' they (hoped) it would be...
Beautiful photos, Northern. And a 72% voter turnout! We've never had close to that in this country.
An ink-stained finger ping.
Let's hope some of these pictures make up the covers of Time, Newsweek, etc.. Triumph of courage and freedom. Those longing for blood and violence -- and we know who they are -- should be ashamed.
Thanks for the pics!! The guy making the 'V' for victory with the stained finger is priceless.
Oh happy day!
Wow! I am so impressed with these people, and the mainstream media, and the dems who oppose this are continuing to look more irrelevant all the time!
Good Morning!
Thank you for all that work.
Morning, sweetie. I'm so happy! What wonderful news ... when I fell asleep around 5:00, MSNBC was saying no one was at the polls.
Of course, they didn't mention there were 30,000 polling places in Iraq and they must have been showing the one with light traffic. Hah!
Obviously from the long walks, long lines and long waits, Jessie Jackson will intervene as there is ample proof there was an attempt to disenfranchise some voters? LOL
No doubt, these brave, determined, people willing to risk their lives, trivializes the whole Democrat whiner bunch.
How can these journalists, who continue to find fault here, ever look at themselves in the mirror?
Wow, 72%. That's going to leave a mark (on the muggs of the lefist US MSM).
A good question. It is no wonder the media are the least trusted profession on the planet.
NBC is focusing on the negative. I must turn the channel before my smile disappears altogether.
"These folks could teach a thing or two to the naysayers and malcontents here."
.....here meaning here in the the US of A, not Freerepublic.
Sorry for any misinterpretation.
I'm not sure it would work in this nation, since the dems always have a brown thumb already.
Disabled Iraqi man Mohammed Karim Khader, 80, is carried on the back of another man on his way to cast his vote in the northern Kurdish city of Suleimaniya, January 30, 2005.
Mega thanks for posting these pictures!
What a joyful day it must be for these people.
I am very happy for them.
Purple fingers of FREEDOM !
thanks for the post
Mr. Gorbachev, take down that wall.
Saddam Hussein, come out of that hole.
Freedom finger.
Interesting pictures. The Kurds don't seem to mind women and men standing together to vote. Are Kurds muslim?
These are PRICELESS. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Gorbachev, take down that wall.
Saddam Hussein, come out of that hole.
Democrats, shut the hell up.
The left would spin this as the same as marking a Jew with a yellow star of David, which would therefore be intimidating and disenfranchising and oppressive blah blah blah.
and this one of this little 93 y.o. lady...
Bless her heart!
and they used paper ballots!!
If these people can figure out how to vote why can't Americans!!!!!!
I hope that one day we will see equally powerful photographs from North Korea and Iran.
Got em both!
bookmark for later
wow, bump to the top

happened once to me, but it ended at 60 kills.
but has anyone else seem a glitch on Ice cave where someone can do the "ledge pull" animation and get the kill, but they were pulling you through the ground? its hard to explain, but basically they're pulling you through the floor and it counts as a ledge kill. eventually i ran to the spot where the guy was doing it and a kicked him off of the ledge he was apparently hanging on.

i also got a glitch in the train wreck level. U kno the train that has the shotgun in it? Where u have to jump over n grab the shotty n jump back? One time i was goin for the shotty but was gettin shot in the back so i pressed O to hide for cover n i hide behind the big brown haystack thats in the train.But I end up actually hiding INSIDE the haystack n cant jump or nothin to get outta it. I didnt quit but i didnt have a mic to tell my team to throw a bomb n kill me so i jus waited till someone ran for the shotty n punched em to death, i could shoot at em but only a certain way n i noticed they could shoot me but could never kill me when they noticed a head bobbin up n down tryin to jump out the haystack. After a while they jus stopped going by the train n made me sad =(. i got a perfect that match too :P.with FIVE kills!!!!

There's alot of glitches that need fixing on this game. Let's hope they release a patch the same time as they bring out DLC or sooner would be better.

I think it's if someone gets kicked maybe, their captures/contribution doesn't count towards the total.
Thought it was people quitting, but it's not that since that's common. But I've been in games where someone's been kicked and we had to make up for what the kicked player did. Thought I was going nuts when we had to capture the treasure on Plunder for a 6th time.

This is a comprehensive future value calculator that takes into account any present value lump sum investment, cash flow payments, compounding, growing annuities and perpetuities. You can enter 0 for the variables you want to ignore or if you prefer specific future value calculations see our other future value calculators.
The future value (FV) of a present value (PV) sum that accumulates interest at rate i over a single period of time is the present value plus the interest earned on that sum. The mathematical equation used in the future value calculator is\[ FV=PV+PVi \]
or\[ FV=PV(1+i) \]
For each period into the future the accumulated value increases by an additional factor (1 + i). Therefore, the future value accumulated over, say 3 periods, is given by\[ FV_{3}=PV_{3}(1+i)(1+i)(1+i)=PV_{3}(1+i)^{3} \]
or generally\[ FV_{n}=PV_{n}(1+i)^{n}" alt="FV = PV(1 + i)^n\tag{1a} \] and likewise we can solve for PV to get \[ PV_{n}=\frac{FV_{n}}{(1+i)^n}" alt="PV_n = FV/(1+i)^n\tag{1b} \]
The equations we have are (1a) the future value of a present sum and (1b) the present value of a future sum at a periodic interest rate i where n is the number of periods in the future. Commonly this equation is applied with periods as years but it is less restrictive to think in the broader terms of periods. Dropping the subscripts from (1b) we have:
An annuity is a sum of money paid periodically, (at regular intervals). Let's assume we have a series of equal present values that we will call payments (PMT) and are paid once each period for n periods at a constant interest rate i. The future value calculator will calculate FV of the series of payments 1 through n using formula (1) to add up the individual future values.\[ FV=PMT+PMT(1+i)^1+PMT(1+i)^2+...+PMT(1+i)^{n-1}\tag{2a} \]
In formula (2a), payments are made at the end of the periods. The first term on the right side of the equation, PMT, is the last payment of the series made at the end of the last period which is at the same time as the future value. Therefore, there is no interest applied to this payment. The last term on the right side of the equation, PMT(1+i)n-1, is the first payment of the series made at the end of the first period which is only n-1 periods away from the time of our future value.
multiply both sides of this equation by (1 + i) to get\[ FV(1+i)=PMT(1+i)^1+PMT(1+i)^2+PMT(1+i)^3+...+PMT(1+i)^{n}\tag{2b} \]
subtracting equation (2a) from (2b) most terms cancel and we are left with\[ FV(1+i)-FV=PMT(1+i)^n-PMT \]
pulling out like terms on both sides\[ FV((1+i)-1)=PMT((1+i)^n-1) \]
cancelling 1's on the left then dividing through by i, the future value of an ordinary annuity, payments made at the end of each period, is\[ FV=\frac{PMT}{i}((1+i)^n-1)\tag{2c} \]
For an annuity due, payments made at the beginning of each period instead of the end, therefore payments are now 1 period further from the FV. We need to increase the formula by 1 period of interest growth. This could be written as\[ FV_{n}=PV_{n}(1+i)^{(n+1)} \]
but factoring out the (1 + i)\[ FV_{n}=PV_{n}(1+i)^{n}(1+i) \]
So, multiplying each payment in equation (2a), or the right side of equation (2c), by the factor (1 + i) will give us the equation of FV for an annuity due. This can be written more generally as
where T represents the type. (similar to Excel formulas) If payments are at the end of the period it is an ordinary annuity and we set T = 0. If payments are at the beginning of the period it is an annuity due and we set T = 1.
if T = 0, payments are at the end of each period and we have the formula for future value of an ordinary annuity\[ FV=\frac{PMT}{i}((1+i)^n-1)\tag{2.1} \]
if T = 1, payments are at the beginning of each period and we have the formula for future value of an annuity due\[ FV=\frac{PMT}{i}((1+i)^n-1)(1+i)\tag{2,2} \]
You can also calculate a growing annuity with this future value calculator. In a growing annuity, each resulting future value, after the first, increases by a factor (1 + g) where g is the constant rate of growth. Modifying equation (2a) to include growth we get\[ FV=PMT(1+g)^{n-1}+PMT(1+i)^1(1+g)^{n-2}+PMT(1+i)^2(1+g)^{n-3}+...+PMT(1+i)^{n-1}(1+g)^{n-n}\tag{3a} \]
In formula (3a), payments are made at the end of the periods. The first term on the right side of the equation, PMT(1+g)n-1, was the last payment of the series made at the end of the last period which is at the same time as the future value. When we multiply through by (1 + g) this period has the growth increase applied (n - 1) times. The last term on the right side of the equation, PMT(1+i)n-1(1+g)n-n, is the first payment of the series made at the end of the first period and growth is not applied to the first PMT or (n-n) times.
Multiply FV by (1+i)/(1+g) to get\[ FV\frac{(1+i)}{(1+g)}=PMT(1+i)^1(1+g)^{n-2}+PMT(1+i)^2(1+g)^{n-3}+PMT(1+i)^3(1+g)^{n-4}+...+PMT(1+i)^{n}(1+g)^{n-n-1}\tag{3b} \]
subtracting equation (3a) from (3b) most terms cancel and we are left with\[ FV\frac{(1+i)}{(1+g)}-FV=PMT(1+i)^{n}(1+g)^{n-n-1}-PMT(1+g)^{n-1} \]
with some algebraic manipulation, multiplying both sides by (1 + g) we have\[ FV(1+i)-FV(1+g)=PMT(1+i)^{n}-PMT(1+g)^{n} \]
pulling like terms out on both sides\[ FV(1+i-1-g)=PMT((1+i)^{n}-(1+g)^{n}) \]
cancelling the 1's on the left then dividing through by (i-g) we finally get
Similar to equation (2), to account for whether we have a growing annuity due or growing ordinary annuity we multiply by the factor (1 + iT)\[ FV=\frac{PMT}{(i-g)}((1+i)^{n}-(1+g)^{n})(1+iT)\tag{3} \]
If g = i we can replace g with i and you'll notice that if we replace (1 + g) terms in equation (3a) with (1 + i) we get\[ FV=PMT(1+i)^{n-1}+PMT(1+i)^1(1+i)^{n-2}+PMT(1+i)^2(1+i)^{n-3}+...+PMT(1+i)^{n-1}(1+i)^{n-n} \]
combining terms we have\[ FV=PMT(1+i)^{n-1}+PMT(1+i)^{n-1}+PMT(1+i)^{n-1}+...+PMT(1+i)^{n-1} \]
since we now have n instances of PMT(1+i)n-1 we can reduce the equation. Also accounting for an annuity due or ordinary annuity, multiply by (1 + iT), and we get\[ FV=PMTn(1+i)^{n-1}(1+iT)\tag{4} \]
For g < i, for a perpetuity, perpetual annuity, or growing perpetuity, the number of periods t goes to infinity therefore n goes to infinity and, logically, the future value in equations (2), (3) and (4) go to infinity so no equations are provided. The future value of any perpetuity goes to infinity.
We can combine equations (1) and (2) to have a future value formula that includes both a future value lump sum and an annuity. This equation is comparable to the underlying time value of money equations in Excel.
As in formula (2.1) if T = 0, payments at the end of each period, we have the formula for future value with an ordinary annuity\[ FV=PV(1+i)^{n}+\frac{PMT}{i}((1+i)^n-1) \]
As in formula (2.2) if T = 1, payments at the beginning of each period, we have the formula for future value with an annuity due\[ FV=PV(1+i)^{n}+\frac{PMT}{i}((1+i)^n-1)(1+i) \]
In the case where i = 0, g must also be 0, and we look back at equations (1) and (2a) to see that the combined future value formula can reduce to\[ FV=PV+PMTn(1+iT) \]
rewritten from formula (3)\[ FV=PV(1+i)^{n}+\frac{PMT}{(i-g)}((1+i)^{n}-(1+g)^{n})(1+iT)\tag{6} \]
rewritten from formula (4)\[ FV=PV(1+i)^{n}+PMTn(1+i)^{n-1}(1+iT)\tag{7} \]
Note on Compounding m, Time t, and Rate r
Formula (5) can be expanded to account for compounding.\[ FV=PV(1+r/m)^{mt}+\frac{PMT}{r/m}((1+r/m)^{mt}-1)(1+(r/m)T)\tag{8} \]
where n = mt and i = r/m. t is the number of periods, m is the compounding intervals per period and r is rate per period t. (this is easily understood when applied with t in years, r the nominal rate per year and m the compounding intervals per year) When written in terms of i and n, i is the rate per compounding interval and n is the total compounding intervals although this can still be stated as "i is the rate per period and n is the number of periods" where period = compounding interval. "Period" is a broad term.
Related to the calculator inputs, r = R/100 and g = G/100. If compounding and payment frequencies do not coincide in these calculations, r and g are converted to an equivalent rate to coincide with payments then n and i are recalculated in terms of payment frequency, q. The first part of the equation is the future value of a present sum and the second part is the future value of an annuity.
Future Value with Perpetuity or Growing Perpetuity (t → ∞ and n = mt → ∞)
For a perpetuity, perpetual annuity, the number of periods t goes to infinity therefore n goes to infinity and, logically, the future value in equation (5) goes to infinity so no equations are provided. The future value of any perpetuity goes to infinity.
Calculating future value with continuous compounding, again looking at formula (8) for present value where m is the compounding per period t, t is the number of periods and r is the compounded rate with i = r/m and n = mt.\[ FV=PV(1+r/m)^{mt}+\frac{PMT}{r/m}((1+r/m)^{mt}-1)(1+(r/m)T)\tag{8} \]
The effective rate is ieff = ( 1 + ( r / m ) )m - 1 for a rate r compounded m times per period. It can be proven mathematically that as m → ∞, the effective rate of r with continuous compounding reaches the upper limit equal to er - 1. [ieff = er - 1 as m → ∞] Removing the m and changing r to the effective rate of r, er - 1:
formula (5) or (8) becomes\[ FV=PV(1+e^r-1)^{t}+\frac{PMT}{e^r-1}((1+e^r-1)^{t}-1)(1+(e^r-1)T) \]
cancelling out 1's where possible we get the final formula for future value with continuous compounding
for an ordinary annuity\[ FV=PVe^{rt}+\frac{PMT}{e^r-1}(e^{rt}-1)\tag{9.1} \]
for an annuity due\[ FV=PVe^{rt}+\frac{PMT}{e^r-1}(e^{rt}-1)e^r\tag{9.2} \]
We can modify equation (3a) for continuous compounding, replacing i's with er - 1 and we get:\[ FV=PMT(1+g)^{n-1}+PMT(1+e^{r}-1)^1(1+g)^{n-2}+PMT(1+e^{r}-1)^2(1+g)^{n-3}+...+PMT(1+e^{r}-1)^{n-1}(1+g)^{n-n} \]
which reduces to\[ FV=PMT(1+g)^{n-1}+PMTe^{r}(1+g)^{n-2}+PMTe^{2r}(1+g)^{n-3}+PMTe^{3r}(1+g)^{n-4}+...+PMT(e^{(n-1)r})(1+g)^{n-n}\tag{10a} \]
Multiplying (10a) by er/(1+g)\[ \frac{FVe^{r}}{1+g}=PMTe^{r}(1+g)^{n-2}+PMTe^{2r}(1+g)^{n-3}+PMTe^{3r}(1+g)^{n-4}+PMTe^{4r}(1+g)^{n-5}+...+PMT(e^{nr})(1+g)^{n-n-1}\tag{10b} \]
subtracting (10a) from (10b) most terms cancel out leaving\[ \frac{FVe^{r}}{1+g}-FV=PMT(e^{nr})(1+g)^{n-n-1}-PMT(1+g)^{n-1} \]
multiplying through by (1+g)\[ FVe^{r}-FV(1+g)=PMTe^{nr}-PMT(1+g)^{n} \]
factoring out like terms on both sides then solving for FV by dividing both sides by (er - (1 + g)) we have\[ FV=\frac{PMT}{e^{r}-(1+g)}(e^{nr}-(1+g)^{n}) \]
Adding on the term to account for whether we have a growing annuity due or growing ordinary annuity we multiply by the factor (1 + (er-1)T)\[ FV=\frac{PMT}{e^{r}-(1+g)}(e^{nr}-(1+g)^{n})(1+(e^{r}-1)T)\tag{10} \]
Starting with equation (4) replacing i's with er - 1 and simplifying we get:\[ FV=PMTne^{r(n-1)}(1+(e^{r}-1)T)\tag{11} \]
An example you can use in the future value calculator. You have $15,000 savings and will start to save $100 per month in an account that yields 1.5% per year compounded monthly. You will make your deposits at the end of each month. You want to know the value of your investment in 10 years or, the future value of your savings account.
Using equation (7) we have\[ FV=15,000(1+0.015/12)^{12*10}+\frac{100}{0.015/12}((1+0.015/12)^{12*10}-1)(1+(0.015/12)*0) \] \[ FV=15,000(1.00125)^{120}+\frac{100}{0.00125}((1.00125)^{120}-1) \] \[ FV=17,425.88+92,938.03-80,000= $30,361.91 \]
At the end of 10 years your savings account will be worth $30,363.91
Suppose you find a bank that offers you daily compounding (365 times per year).

A Homecoming game is exactly what the doctor ordered, for Vandal fans and players alike. After weeks of playing away from home, traveling through what seems like every time zone in the U.S.A., the brutal road trip comes to a halt this Saturday in the Kibbie Dome. The Vandals have plenty to work on, most notably the running game and defense. And while the Aggies are improving, the Vandals should be able to work on all facets of their game. They are home, in the Dome, with a Homecoming crowd to please. This should be exactly what the football team needs to set things on the right path.
When the Vandals Have the Ball
The Vandals with the ball is a tale of two offenses. Their passing game is excellent. Their running game… not so much. Once again Nathan Enderle was excellent, throwing 24-of-50 for 365 yards and three touchdowns. Heck, even Brian Reader was on fire last weekend, going 8-of-10 and two touchdowns. The Vandals have a pretty solid stable of quarterbacks.
True sophomore wide receiver Justin Veltung had a breakout performance, hauling in six passes for 140 yards and a remarkable four touchdowns. Senior tightend Daniel Hardy recorded 7 catches for 114 yards with Eric Greenwood catching 103 yards off of four catches. Kama Bailey and Preston Davis caught three a-piece, while Armauni Johnson and Princeton McCarty each had one. Deonte Jackson led all Vandal 'backs with seven receptions for 60 yards. Needless to say, the passing game is full of effective weapons and should have Vandal fans excited for the present and future air assault.
Then there is the running game. Deonte Jackson led all backs with 11 carries for 25 yards. Princeton McCarty had two carries for four yards, while redshirt sophomore Troy Vital got one touch for 11 yards. Not good. This does nothing for opening up an offense.
Bottom line, the offensive line is not getting it done. The initial push is not there. Couple this with its infamous rank as the nation's leader sacks yielded, and it's no wonder why the Vandals are have yet to string together two consecutive wins yet this year. With no running game, opposing defenses can pin their ears back and go for the sack, no matter how potent the passing attack is; and it is. Coming off their worst performance of the season, it's time for the offensive line to gel.
Equally perplexing is the frustrating lack of use when it comes to heralded 'back Troy Vital. Vital's one run was for 11 yards, and it was a big, powerful, physical run. Granted, he's battling for playing time against a junior and senior with extensive experience, but Vital brings something the Vandals needed in last week's game. If the lack of a running game continues, the Vandals will be in for a long second half of the season.
When the Vandals Are on D
Yielding a whopping 683 yards of offense, the Vandal defense has little to find when it comes to positives from last Saturday's outing. They did cause four fumbles (which in most cases is enough to generate a victory), winning the turnover battle by a 4-1 margin. But that obviously wasn't enough to win the game for them. That is the one stat line that favors the Vandal D. Allowing a quarterback to throw for 422 yards and three touchdowns and rush for 34 yards and a touchdown is a bit tough to swallow. Add on a 179 yard rusher on the day, and it becomes very clear why the Vandals lost.
Fundamentals... Good hit position, staying in your lanes, and driving your feet are some of the fundamentals taught to any sound defense does week in and week out. Idaho didn't seem to do this last weekend. Wrapping up and tackling are other main ingredients to a good defense. The Vandals didn't do much of that either. So it looks like this week would be a good week to go back to the basics. The Vandals need to stop the run first and foremost. They can't give up 179 yards on the ground. The defensive line and linebackers need to follow assignments and close down the lanes. If they do this, then the rest of the defensive scheme works out.
Look for the leaders of this defense to bounce back and provide an inspired performance. Aaron Lavarias, Shiloh Keo, Joseph Dickson, and Jonah Sataraka should lead the charge, and they should collectively get Idaho's much more stout 2010 defense back on track. There is no way that group of men looks at last Saturday as anything but an abomination of who they strive to be as a defensive unit.
It's time or the Vandal defense to reinvent itself and stay true to their assignments, break down, wrap up, and gang tackle.
Scouting the Aggies
The New Mexico State Aggies are in the second year of Head Coach DeWayne Walker's regime. Junior College transfer Matt Christian will start at quarterback for the Aggies. Christian has a good arm and good football IQ and likes to spread the ball around. He won't kill you with his legs, but his arm makes up for that. His favorite targets include running back Kenny Turner and wideouts Marcus Allen, Taveon Rogers and Darrius Preston.
Rushing the ball for the Aggies is senior Seth Smith and sophomore Kenny Turner; a couple of 200 pounds runningbacks that possess speed, power and vision. It should give the Vandals a good test on stopping their ground game. Especially with the size and experience on the Aggies offensive line. The NMSU offense runs a lot of option read out of the shotgun. Odd, considering the limited mobility of Matt Christian, so really it's the run game that has the Aggies excited. Smith and Turner are getting things going, so it should be a good test for the Vandal D. Stop this run game, and the Vandals will success in all phases of its defense.
The Aggie defense has been bad. They run a 4-3 defense with a few blitz packages. The one bright spot is cornerback Davon House. House has excellent speed, good cover skills and can pick the ball. Outside of him, the Aggies defense has struggled. Defensive End Donte Savage has been solid, and if its any offensive line that can make a defensive end an All American over the weekend, it's the Vandals. But in reality, the Aggies defense hasn't stopped much. Their last two quarters of football were solid. They found success against Fresno State, which should give them a little confidence coming into the weekend.
What the Vandals Need To Do
In order for the Vandals to win, they will need to do a few key things in this football game.
1.) Solid offensive line play.It's Homecoming Vandals! It's time to head back to the Palouse! And there is nothing like using that scenic drive to do some soul searching. And let's face it, Vandal fans need a little soul searching with the unexpected early season losses, the online meltdowns, and the realization that this program is still in the midst of a turnaround.
2.) Run the ball on offense.
3.) Stop the run on defense.
4.) Play with passion! Both sides of the ball.
5.) Special Team Plays – Field Goals are not a given with Trey.
What Vandal fans need to do is take a long look at Deonte Jackson. Jackson has stuck to his commitment through thick and thin. Few players come with such integrity and toughness during the trials and tribulations he has been through as a Vandal. He has been everything from the featured back to a regulated blocker. He's shared carries, and even moved over when DeMaundray Woolridges emerged last season. He's been injured… he's been through coaching changes… he's been through everything a back can go through, but has never wavered on his commitment to his school, his coaches, or his teammates.
Vandal fans need to stick to their commitment. Next time you call for a coach's job, a player's playing time, or any sort of poor fan antics you choose to exercise, let one player remind you of what it means to be a Vandal. Jackson can teach all of us a little about patience and humility.
The success of last years' season has already (and oddly) spoiled Vandal fan. It's as if the growing pains of this program should just disappear because they made it to a bowl game and won. But it couldn't be further from the truth. This program is still growing, and what the coaches and players need is a fan base that shows them what Homecoming is all about; a fan base that shows they are committed to the Vandal football team. Take time this Homecoming to thank the coaches and players for their commitment to the program. Take time to thank them for turning the program around and giving us what all Vandals want; something to cheer about.
Go Vandals!

ABILENE - In what has become the team's traditional fashion, Amarillo High tempted fate with another early deficit Saturday in the most critical of moments. By the time thwy woke up, though, the Lady Sandies' dream had been realized:
They're heading for San Marcos.
Rallying from a 10-1 deficit in the first game, second-ranked Amarillo High turned a tide of emotion into a 15-11, 15-4 victory over No. 7 Arlington High for the regional I-5A volleyball title at Kimbrell Arena.
"It started last year during the off-season, we said we were going to be the state champs," senior hitter Drew Hays said. "Some people thought we were crazy, but we knew we had the opportunity."
That opportunity begins Friday, when the Lady Sandies (35-2) return to the state tournament for the first time since 1998. They are guaranteed one of the top two seeds based on record, and will be looking to add a fourth championship banner to their record.
Banners and titles, though, were the were the furthest things from the Lady Sandies' minds after the Lady Colts (38-5) jumped ahead quivkly from the opening serve. But like in past situations, the team found a rallying point and never turned back.
"We've done that so many times this season," Amarillo coach Jan Barker said. "When we get down to a certain point, it seems to light a fire under them."
Down 10-1, the Lady Sandies turned to junior defender Emily Sutton at the service line. An Arlington error and a kill be Meagan Welch began to shake the team up and get Amarillo's side of the 350 fans in attendance back in the match.
A Sutton ace and combo block from Welch and Amanda Navarrette forced the Lady Colts into a timeout at 10-5. And then with two more aces and another Welch kill to follow, the Lady Sandies soon found themselves threatening Arlington at 10-8.
"We just needed to bring everybody back up," Sutton said. "I stepped in and played my role. I as excited, and so was everybody else. At that point, we were ready to play."
Play they did.
Finding plenty of options on the offensive end for setter Chelsie Cude and even bigger digs defensively, The lady Sandies soon scratched out a 12-10 lead.
A kill by Mercedes Posey would help Arlington cling to hope in the first game, but consecutive kills by Jackie Stroud and Welch followed by a Navarrette ace put Amarillo on the brink of the state tournament.
From there, the Lady Sandies' dominance at the net - most notably the 6-foot-1 Hays and her 15 kills in the match - proved decisive in the second game.
"You have to commend them," Arlington coach Sue Cauley said. "We knew when Drew was on the front row, they were going to get their points.
"We had to monopolize when she was on the back row."
That chance never came, as another long run on Welch's serve kept Hays on the front row and turned a 3-2 deficit into a 12-3 lead in the second. Even when one of Amarillo's three hitting errors in the entire match gave the Lady Colts a point, a net violation on Arlington and a combo block from Navarrette and Ambra Clark put the Lady Sandies a point away from San Marcos.
"As I've said all year, we've got some hitters who can do just about anything," Barker said. "As long as we can get some serves in, this team can do amazing things."
One of the amazing players was Hays, who in fitting fashion turned an easy ball from Arlington into a kill on the offensive end that sent the Lady Sandies into a frenzy on the court.
Overall, Amarillo registered a .456 hitting percentage with 34 total kills. Welch added eight kills to Hays' total, with Cude chipping in 30 assists.
Posey, Colby Fields and Hannah Reedy all had six kills for the Lady Colts.
With the possibility of two more tough matches ahead, the Lady Sandies would prefer a quicker start in the hopes of winning a state title.
"I hope that's not the way it has to be," Hays said. "But if that's what it takes, we really think we can do it."
