Q&A: Philip Galanes' 'Social Q's' in the age of digitalism
Once a week Philip Galanes answers questions about how to act and react in a polite society - a different path from his livelihood as an entertainment lawyer. And his job as an interior design consultant for private clients. And another job as a novelist, first with "Father's Day" in 2004 and then with "Emma's Table" in 2008.
But the questions are perfect for his Social Q's column, which runs each Sunday in The New York Times. Galanes gathered several of his most popular and most peculiar questions in a book called "Social Q's: How to Survive the Quirks, Quandaries, and Quagmires of Today" (Simon & Schuster). »Read Full Article

Earlier this week, we looked at whether San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was snubbed because he is not part of ESPN.com's top 100 lists of offensive players.
I reasoned that while I think Rivers can still be a solid player, because of his turnover issues the past two years and the influx of excellent young quarterbacks; it is not a surprise Rivers isn't on the list.
However, Thursday, Rivers received some support. In his annual rankings of quarterbacks, John Clayton placed Rivers, who comes in at No. 11, in his "elite" group.
This is what Clayton had to write about Rivers: "Whether it's Rivers or the roster around him, the Chargers' offense seems to going down the wrong river. Last year his yards-per-completion average dropped from 7.9 to 6.8. His 66 percent completion-rate days are diminishing. He has thrown 53 touchdown passes over the past two years. But his offensive line has gotten worse, and we really don't know if he has enough good pass-catchers. Mike McCoy was hired to allow Rivers the chance to throw shorter, quicker passes."
I like Rivers a lot and agree most of his problems are out of his control (a terrible offensive line and decreased skill-position talent), but I was a bit surprised by the No. 11 ranking. What do you think?

Fury, Hennessy Willing To Work For a W. Klitschko Shot
by Nick Parkinson, courtesy of The Daily Star
TYSON FURY already has the edge over Wladimir Klitschko – after outlasting him in the sauna.
The unbeaten Morecambe heavyweight floored Martin Rogan twice in a fifth-round stoppage in Belfast on Saturday to keep on track for a world title shot.
Fury's promoter Mick Hennessy believes a showdown with WBA, IBF and WBO champion Klitschko is still a year off, with the Ukrainian set to defend his crown against American Tony Thompson on July 7.
The 6ft 9in gypsy giant, 23, is not only three inches taller than Klitschko, 36, but has been boosted by outdoing him in a contest to see who could last longest in the sauna.
He said: "I believe I've got one over on him already. We had a sauna competition at his training camp in Austria in October and I mentally broke him down. I almost passed out before I got out. We were in there with a few of his training team and everyone was getting out after 10 minutes.
"Me and him stayed in. It got to 15 minutes and I was having to count down the seconds in my head to get through it.
"Eventually he got up in a huff and walked out without speaking.
"I'm ready to fight anyone in the world right now. If my promoter wants me to fight Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko in the morning, I will do it, but things can't be done like that. It's a long process. I'm going up in the world and Wladimir has mentioned me as a possible opponent."
Hennessy is planning for Fury to face an American opponent when he returns to action on June 30.

IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE - The information on this site is subject to a disclaimer and a copyright notice.
The speed with which improvements make
the journey from drawing-board to catalogue or showroom is a critical
factor in the struggle to maintain competitive advantage in the
car industry and beyond.
Rapid prototyping will soon be seen as an indispensable weapon in
the manufacturer's armoury. By producing functional or design models
directly from computer-aided design (CAD) systems, rapid prototyping
techniques (RPT) can dramatically shorten the development cycle
for new parts or assemblies.
Yet the use of rapid prototyping remains low, at least in Europe.
Focusing specifically on its application within the car industry,
this project set out to identify and overcome both the technical
and the cultural obstacles to its widespread adoption.
The three-year project, initiated as a collaborative venture by
Fiat and BMW, began by analysing the currently available rapid prototyping
processes. Weaknesses were identified by assessing the processes
against the practical needs of the car industry, as represented
by the partners themselves.
The partners found that the techniques available at the time were
too slow and too unstable. They often failed, needed active supervision
and did not produce sufficiently accurate models. In particular,
engineers at Fiat, BMW and Mercedes-Benz needed laser stereolithography
tools which were robust and fully automated. They wanted to be able
to start the prototyping process as they left their offices in the
evening, confident that an accurate model would be waiting for them
when they returned in the morning.
Laser stereolithography builds up a solid model by illuminating
successive layers of liquid photopolymer resin with a UV laser beam.
Each point touched by the beam hardens and is bonded to the layer
At the start of the project, however, the accuracy of stereolithographic
modelling was not good enough for regular use. When resin solidifies
it shrinks. As each new layer was hardened by the laser, it tried
to 'pull up' the layer below, and the accumulation of internal stresses
caused unacceptable deformation of the completed model.
The German company EOS, working with the Institute for Polymer Testing
and Polymer Science (IKP) at the University of Stuttgart, investigated
the potential for minimising deformation by adjusting the sequence
in which different areas of the resin layer were hardened.
Conventionally, the laser beam simply passed up and down the layer
in strips. The partners came up with an alternative strategy which
treats the layer as a grid of cells, typically two millimetres square.
In the first step, all these cells are illuminated while maintaining
a small gap between each, creating a layer of unconnected cells.
Next, these cells are connected to each other, resulting in a stable,
but less shrinking layer. After the part has been taken off the
platform, the liquid resin in the gaps is polymerised in the post-curing
The approach worked well. Combined with advances in resin quality
outside of this project, it has dramatically improved modelling
Another successful strategy is called skin&core, a technique that
divides the model into two parts - an outer skin and an interior
core. There are two applications using skin&core. On the one hand,
massive models can be built much faster by building a 2 mm skin
and filling the core with a truss-like structure. On the other,
it can be used for building light, hollow models which can be burned-out
in the investment casting process.
The second obstacle which the partners tackled was the format in
which data is passed from CAD software to rapid prototyping equipment.
A de facto standard, called STL, did exist. But this only described
the inner and outer surfaces of the model with triangles. Separate
software tools were needed to 'slice' the description into the layers
required for stereolithography.
At the same time, STL was not compatible with all CAD systems. BMW
itself was unable to generate STL files directly. Once more, intermediate
software was needed to manipulate the data, slowing down the process
and tending to compound inaccuracies.
The partners decided to cut through this complexity. BIBA, at the
University of Bremen, joined forces with EOS to develop a new data
format, and an accompanying set of software tools. Their Common
Layer Interface (CLI) format enables a CAD system to generate model
layers and pass them to a rapid prototyping tool in a single step.
Speed, ease of use, reliability, and accuracy are all improved.
For BMW, Fiat, and Mercedes-Benz, the CLI standard also makes it
much easier to exchange part geometries between design, development
and production processes. Designed as an open standard in order
to facilitate the development of new software by third parties,
the CLI format is already supported by a large number of CAD and
rapid prototyping systems.
The final but crucial obstacle to the adoption of rapid prototyping
techniques had been identified at the outset as a cultural one.
Stories of inaccuracy and instability persisted. Resistance to rapid
prototyping was widespread, and was in danger of becoming entrenched.
The partners would only reap the commercial rewards of the project's
technological developments when rapid prototyping techniques were
actually put to use. Now that their technical failings had been
addressed, it was essential to show development engineers exactly
how these techniques could help them.
First, the selection of appropriate modelling materials and technologies
had to be simplified. Choices depend upon the use to which the model
is to be put, but are often highly complex. Stereolithography, for
example, gives good surface quality, suitable for a single design
part which is to be finished and painted. Laser sintering, on the
other hand, uses a more stable material and produces a surface quality
that is adequate for a mock-up.
BIBA built expert system software with a front end designed to help
non-specialists to choose the right rapid prototyping process for
a particular task. Their 'Rapid Prototyping System Selector' package
matches modelling materials and build technologies to information
about the intended application of the model.
Secondly, engineers had to be persuaded that rapid prototyping could
really help them. The three car manufacturers produced a self-running
computer-based demonstration to explain the technologies, and their
uses and benefits, to engineers and others within their companies.
The effectiveness of rapid prototyping was amply demonstrated by
the production during the project of nearly 300 separate model parts
by BMW alone. It is still too early to tell how successful the partners
will be in promoting rapid prototyping internally, but they have
certainly put in place all the elements required for its full integration
into the car development cycle.
Both the project's technical developments and its integrative methodology
have excellent potential for transfer to industries such as aeronautics,
consumer electronics, and medical technology.
Transfer will be hastened by the project's products themselves.
EOS has incorporated the new illumination strategy into all its
laser stereolithography equipment. By simplifying and standardising
model description data handling routines, the CLI format, also supported
by all EOS equipment, will lower the entry cost for new users of
rapid prototyping techniques.

I never intended for that picture to become the official header for What Are You/We All Playing This Weekend, you know. I found myself in charge of this section one week and thought I'd find a nice picture of a pond – which was where I intended to mostly spend my weekend. Finding nothing in antique illustration archives (we have our whole antiquated Britishness schtick, yeah?), I turned to what else I'd be doing: appearing in visions, indulging my nymph side, and firing cannons at ghastly moustaches.
Anyway, what are you playing this weekend? Here's what we're into:

Quite accidentally I discovered incorrect calculation of the simple definite integral:
int(1/(x^4+4), x=0..1);
1/8*ln(2)-1/16*ln(5)+1/32*Pi+1/8*arctan(1/3) # This is incorrect result
Is this a known bug?
If first we calculate corresponding indefinite integral, and then by the formula of Newton - Leibniz, that everything is correct:
F:=int(1/(x^4+4), x):
eval(F, x=1)-eval(F, x=0);
I am currently working on an adaptive question in Maple TA 2016 and it seems that there is a bug in the drop - down list functionality:
After I click "Verify" in a section, the answer disappears even though I choose it to be displayed. The window simply goes back to showing (Click for List) instead of keeping the answer, see the screenshot below.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong, though I have used Lists extensively in the previous version and never had that problem ..
Thanks for your help!
Hello All,
(I also sent this fact to Maplesoft Support).
Since I updayed to 2016.1 the F1 key does bring a menu witch send to..F5 only.
No way to have a "full" Help Menu.(See the attached file)
I guess a silly bug jumped in :)
Kind regards,
Hello there! Maple 2016.1 sometimes gets crasy about parsing input strings. I managed to capture this behaviour in the attached file. It looks like below. I am not sure what exactly triggers it. It just starts happening all of a sudden. What might be the cause...?
Error, incorrect syntax in parse: `;` unexpected (near 4th character of parsed string)
Error, invalid semantics "π"
Download test.mw
This question is related to the recent post http://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/211460-Series-Of-Bessel-Functions1. Consider the following fast convergent series:f:=n->(-1)^(n+1)*1/(n+exp(n));S1:=Sum(f(n),n=1..infinity);evalf(S1);S2:=Sum(f(2*n-1)+f(2*n),n=1..infinity);evalf(S2);As expected, the sum of the series is obtained very fast (with any precision), same results for S1 and S2.2. Now change the series to a very slowly convergent one:f:=n->(-1)^(n+1)/sqrt(n+sqrt(n));evalf(S1) is computed also extremely fast, because the acceleration algorithm works here perfectly.But evalf(S2) demonstrates a bug:Error, (in evalf/Sum1) invalid input: `evalf/Sum/infinite` expects its 2nd argument, ix, to be of type name, but received ...3. Let us take another series:f:=n->(-1)^(n+1)/sqrt(n+sqrt(n)*sin(n));Now evalf(S1) does not evaluate numerically and evalf(S2) ==> same error.Note that I do not know whether this series is convergent or not, but the same thing happens for the obviously convergent seriesf:=n->(-1)^(n+1)/sqrt(n^(11/5)+n^2*sin(n));(because it converges slowly (but absolutely) and the acceleration fails).I would be interested to know a method to approximate (in Maple) the sum of such series.
Edit. Now I know that the mentioned series
converges (but note that Leibniz' test cannot be used).
eulermac(1/(n*ln(n)^2),n=2..N,1); #ErrorError, (in SumTools:-DefiniteSum:-ClosedForm) summand is singular in the interval of summationeulermac(1/(n*ln(n)^2+1),n=2..N,1); #nonsense
When I execute the command
and then refer to the equation in a new execution group using a equation label (CTRL-L on Windows), the equation is shown in Maple 18, but in Maple 2015 I get an error message: 'Error, missing operator or ';'. Using the % instead does work for both versions.
Is this intended behaviour or a bug in Maple 2015?
in LinearAlgebra Eigenvectors calculation.
So the above output startled me. I have used the Maple Linear Algebra Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors commands many times with no problem. Can any one explain to me what is going on. The program correctly calculates the eigenvalues for the matrix which are all distinct for a real symmetric matrix, and thus should have three distinct non-zero eigenvectors, yet the eigenvectore command returns only zeros for the eigenvectors. I calculated an eigenvector by hand corresponding to the eigenvalue of 1 and obtained (1, -sqrt(2)/sqrt(3), -1/sqrt(3).
So this is either a serious bug or I am going completely insane.
Found a strange behaviour in Mapke 2015 of the sqrt-function after loading the GRTensor package:
the square-root of a non-square integer, e.g. sqrt(5), does not terminate. 5^(1/2) instead works fine.
Can be reproduced with Maple 18, but not with Maple 11.
I consider this a serious bug, as it makes any expressions containing such roots useless.
As it worked with Maple 11 I am inclined to see it as your fault.
In the running of an example I faced to computation of radical ideal of the following ideal:
I used from Radical command in PolynomialIdeals package. But I dno't now why it's computation is very hard and Time-consuming?
What I have to do? I think there is a bug, since this ideal is simple, apparently.
In Maple 2015.1 we have
solve([sin(2*x)/cos(x+3*Pi/2)=1, x>-4*Pi, x<-5*Pi/2], x, allsolutions, explicit);
solve([sin(2*x)/cos(x+3*Pi/2)=1, x>0, x<2*Pi], x, allsolutions, explicit);
In the first example, the error message is not clear (actually there exists a unique root x=-11*Pi/3), in the second example, one root (x=5*Pi/3) is lost.
Has anyone tried to run the following in Maple command-line mode (i.e. in terminal window, type "maple" to start it without the graphic interface),
Surprisingly, I didn't get "0" with my Maple 17 (under Linux platform) or 18 (under Mac OSX platform). Can anyone help me confirm this?
I'm trying to solve this PDE, and Maple 2015 gives me a solution quickly. I can test the solution with pdetest() and this verifies that it works. However, when I try to verify this myself I don't get zero. Is there some trick pdetest() is using to that I am missing? Or is pdetest() wrong in this case?
eq := I*exp(-(2*I)*k*t)*k*sin(theta)*r^2*cos(theta)^3+4*exp(-(2*I)*k*t)*r*cos(theta)^3+2*(diff(Vr(t, r, theta), theta, theta))*cos(theta)*exp(-I*k*(sin(theta)*r+t))-6*(diff(Vr(t, r, theta), theta))*sin(theta)*exp(-I*k*(sin(theta)*r+t))-4*Vr(t, r, theta)*cos(theta)*exp(-I*k*(sin(theta)*r+t))-4*exp(-(2*I)*k*t)*r*cos(theta);
sol := pdsolve(eq);
pdetest(sol, eq);
eq2 := eval(eq, Vr(t,r,theta) = rhs(sol)): eq2 := simplify(%);
evalb(eq2 = 0);

I think that I found a bug in Maple! Please run the following command:

ARLINGTON, Texas - For three consecutive innings, the normally stingy Cliff Lee allowed the leadoff batter to reach base. He labored through 21 pitches in the second and coughed up a 6-0 lead before the end of the third.
After recording the first two outs in the fifth, Lee gave up back-to-back hits in his final inning. With the top of Texas' lineup looming, pitching coach Bob McClure, and not manager Ryne Sandberg, trotted out to talk to Lee.
The pitcher clearly didn't have his best stuff, but the coaching staff needed one more out.
"It was just one of those games," Lee said after being credited with an improbable victory in the Phillies' 14-10, Opening Day win at Texas. "Both offenses were just clicking. I could have done a better job locating and staying ahead in the count a little more, but I didn't. I didn't deserve to get a win, for sure, but we scored enough to enable it."

'Heat' breaks rules of buddy cop film
"The Heat" has all the elements you'd expect from a buddy cop movie -- the oil-and-water partnership, the car chases, the wisecracks -- and a few you wouldn't -- for instance, a scene involving Spanx.
Faithfully conforming to the macho genre made famous by movies such as "Bad Boys" and "Lethal Weapon," "The Heat" is also summer's only studio film built around female leads: Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.
Directed by Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids"), "The Heat" pairs Bullock as Sarah Ashburn, an uptight FBI agent in ill-fitting suits, with McCarthy as Shannon Mullins, a brusque Boston cop who dresses like a 1980s lady rapper.
Instead of romantic pining, the story's emotional undercurrent comes from the loneliness of women who are very good at their jobs.
"It wasn't a movie written for two guys," Feig said. "It was funny in a way women are funny and touched on themes of female friendship, professional women in the workplace who have chosen career over family and kids."
On-screen, Bullock and McCarthy play goofy but capable everywomen. That both are older than 40 and that McCarthy's body doesn't conform to Size 0 industry norms makes their shared success that much more unusual.
Bullock, 48, and McCarthy, 42, have both risen on that ineffable quality that creates movie stars and sometimes presidents -- they seem like they'd be fun to get a beer with.
Bullock, the Virginia-born daughter of a Pentagon contractor and an opera singer, came up in the '90s, propelled by a tomboyish charm in movies such as "Speed" and "Miss Congeniality" before winning an Oscar for playing the brassy Southern mother in 2009's "The Blind Side."
McCarthy, raised on a farm in Illinois, performed in the L.A.-based improv comedy group the Groundlings and has appeared on TV shows such as "Gilmore Girls" and her current program "Mike & Molly" but is a more recently minted star on the big screen. She emerged in a breakout role as a rambunctious and occasionally lewd member of a wedding party in 2011's "Bridesmaids."
The actresses had never met until Bullock called McCarthy to see whether she was interested in playing Mullins. As in any screen pairing, chemistry would be critical -- "The Heat" calls for their characters to evolve from elbow-flinging rivals to glass-clinking buddies in less than two hours.
"You have to instantly bond, instantly create a relationship in this weird world that we're in," Bullock said.
"She was game for anything," McCarthy said. One thing both women share is a willingness to wield their bodies on-screen in unflattering ways: In "The Heat," Bullock is all angles -- elbows and knees and pin-straight hair, and McCarthy is a lady linebacker, barreling after criminals in MC Hammer pants.

Hey, can anyone help me what to do if high edges of leaves turning brown, and the lower leaves turning yellow and drop? i have a single plant and is almost 2 months old (she's growing ok?),i start using a fertilizer with NPK 7-3-5 one month ago watering the plant once a 1 week, the light is a 40W fluorescent bulb 7 inches from plant, ventilation - a 12V cooler attached on top but it's working at 7V i think(very slow) , and my soil is a 6.5ph and it is not mixed with perlite...Thank you!
edges of leaves turning brown :S
I'm a novice myself, so only consider the following for the cause of your problem. Now bear with me because I believe it's a combination of factors that's causing your browning edges. 1. The heighth and starkness of your plant suggests that you're light source has been to far away. 2. If the plant is close to 2months in age but you started a feeding schedule a month ago, you started slightly too soon. The amount of nutes in your soil may be to much. 3. If you've been feeding with your watering schedule, the ratio of nutes in your soil is more than likely extremely disproportionate due to the demands from that size of a plant. In other words, that plant requires very little feeding right now. 4. I've noticed over the years that spindlely and stretched plants are more prone to problems and are very sensitive to nute imbalances. Must have something to do with large stems and little foilage. idk. 5. Perlite not only retains water, but adds aeration. Doesn't sound like your going overboard on the watering ("once a 1 week") but if your soil has poor or no drainage, you may have root rot beginning to take hold.

edges of leaves turning brown :S
When you say "40W fluorescent bulb", do you mean CFL? And if so, is that "actual watts", or is that "equivalent watts", making it actually a 13 watt bulb?
The reason I ask is because that plant is spindly. If you had a 40 watt CFL (150+ "equivalent watts"), that plant would be doing better.
Your next problem is that if you put the right amount of light in there with your plant, you'll burn it to death. One little 12v fan operating on 7 volts is no where near enough to vent the heat from the light. And that looks like aluminum foil, which is not a "Planet Skunk" approved reflective material because it causes hot spots. So if you up the wattage, you'll burn the plant to death even faster.
Your next problem is only watering once per week, and not having any perlite (or vermiculite) in the soil. Watering should be 2 or 3 times per week, depending upon soil and container. Watering is done when the top 2 inches of soil in the container is dry. How dry is the soil when you water, and do you have drain holes in the container?
Your next problem is that you only have one plant, and I'm assuming that you don't know what sex it is. Call it a 50/50 chance that it's a male, and if it is, your growing compost.
Now, on to your original question: The tips are burning probably from the heat inside. And you don't even have enough light to begin with. I think that you need to start over with a new grow setup.

ah I understood why the plant is spindly, the "40W fluorescent bulb" is a energy saving light and I think it is a 40 equivalent watts. I changed the cover in some white sleek paper (is that ok for reflecting light?), thanks for the advice for nutes too, after all I think i'll start with a new setup more confident, thanks for the comments
edges of leaves turning brown :S
anyway do you think I can save this plant if I replace the setup in a short time? I put a lot of hope in her being a female
edges of leaves turning brown :S
I'm a little concerned about the spots on the leaves on; I think the 3rd pix - looks like possibly bugs. I'd check out the undersides with a mag glass or scope. Definitely need more light to be productive.
edges of leaves turning brown :S
I've never used paper for reflectivity, but if I did, I'd use plain computer paper...not glossy. For my setup, I use flat white primer paint, and computer paper seems like it would be a decent replacement.
For lights, this is what you need:
Vegetative Phase: 6500K temp "Daylight" 100w equivalent CFLs that put out about 1600 Lumens. You'll need 1 for a seedling, and at least 3 for a full size plant.
Flowering Phase: 2700K temp "Soft White" 100w equivalent CFLs that put out about 1600 Lumens. You'll need at least 3, and 5 is way better.
You can also buy the large 40-60 "actual" watt CFLs (150-200 "equivalent" watts). You're looking for roughly 5000 Lumens per plant AT A MINIMUM (and I can't stress the "minimum" part enough), so when you're looking for bulbs, shop for "lumens".
You can keep that plant, but what I would do is cut the top and clone it and start over with that plant. That's just my opinion, but that thing is going to keep on getting taller, and you might have some space issues. If that thing goes all the way to harvest, you might end up with a 5 foot tall plant that only produces 50 grams.
And I agree with what B-n-S said about the white dots. I missed that when I looked at the pics. Good eye, Buds!

I took notes on light and pests too(can I get rid of mites with an insecticide for houseplants?), i'll come with news with my 5 foot plant if that's ok
, thanks for help!
edges of leaves turning brown :S
1 spindly plant with spider mites, if it does indeed have them, I think I'd burn it in a hot fire. Then read, set up your space and give yourself a chance for success with proper lighting and plan. Make sure that you thoroughly clean and bleach your area. If you see more signs of mites you may want to consider bombing.
edges of leaves turning brown :S
it's an "older plant"...2 months, lifebloom?
Git another 9 40w in there...it'll die from not enough light (that's why the stretch)...i wouldn't worry about nothin' besides more light and keepin' it cool with usin' more light if i was you (then start talkin' 'bout nutes and such...

To the Editor.—
The article entitled "Occupational Disease Surveillance: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome"1 presents a three-part surveillance case definition for work-related carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The article suggests that occupational hand activities are a significant risk factor for CTS.According to the article, 47% of CTS cases reported in Santa Clara County, California, in 1987 were believed, by the responding providers, to be work related. This means that the majority, or 53%, were not believed to be work related. No surveillance case definition was presented to help the reader understand why the latter cases fell outside the work-related CTS category. In the absence of this information, the reader might assume that the mere performance of certain types of occupational hand activities equates with work-related CTS.Carpal tunnel syndrome is a widely prevalent condition, and a surveillance study of any segment of the adult population will likely yield the finding of

Scotiabank Expands ABM Network
Have you ever needed to withdraw some money, but just canŌĆÖt seem to find a branch or ABM for your bank? Well I am sure it has happened to all of us at some point, especially on the evenings you are heading out. When you canŌĆÖt find one, you are stuck withdrawing money at a fee.
Scotiabank clients will love this piece of news; they now have to worry just a bit less about finding an ABM to withdraw from. Scotiabank has expanded their ABM access into Canadian 7-Eleven stores!
Customer will now have free ABM access at 7-Eleven stores in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. This expansion will boost ScotiabankŌĆÖs overall ABM network in Canada to 3,486 ŌĆō an increase of over 15%. The total amount of additional ABMs are 470.
What does this mean for me?
Ultimately, this means you will be able to withdraw money from an expanded ABM network, thus allowing you to not get charged any unnecessary fees.
On top of that, you are given access to locations that are open 24 hours a day ŌĆō doesnŌĆÖt get much more convenient than that!
You are also going to be able to benefit from the same strong security measures that are built into all Scotiabank ABMs.
How did Scotiabank close this deal?
Scotiabank was able to make this all possible with the partnership with Cardtronics, the worldŌĆÖs largest retail ABM owner and they are in fact 7-ElevenŌĆÖs exclusive ABM service provider.
That said, Scotiabank will be awarding clients who use the ABMs in a 7-Eleven SCENE Points. This will be a special limited time promotion that is expected to come soon. I will update everyone on this once I see it out.
What do you think about having access to new ABMs for Scotiabank?

Expect The Unexpected – Similarities Between Japan's Economics And The US Presidential Race 0 commentsNov 2, 2012 12:22 PM
Kyle Bass - the Bet Against Japan
Kyle Bass founded hedge fund Hayman Capital in Dallas, Texas, in 2006. He made millions betting against the sub-prime mortgage bond market - and now he's betting on the collapse of Japan. In simplistic terms, Mr Bass feels that the debt accumulated by Japan is so enormous, that sooner or later, Japan has to default on its debts. Yet Japan keeps borrowing and keeps increasing its debt load, and as a result, the hedge fund has suffered losses so far.
Mr Bass is using a reasoned calculation, that includes a shrinking workforce in Japan due to the aging population, a stagnant economy for many years now, and continued increases in borrowings to support social programs as well as to try and inject stimulus into the economy. To Mr Bass's surprise, Japan has not yet defaulted.
Some Current Japanese Numbers
Japanese industrial production slumped 4.1% on month in September vs -1.6% in August and -3.1% consensus. It's one of the largest declines in recent years and the third consecutive drop. Unemployment was unchanged at 4.2%, matching consensus, but household spending unexpectedly fell 0.9% vs a forecast for a rise of 0.9%. Does this foretell a collapse?
What is not clear, is whether Mr Bass's bet against Japan will succeed or not. Conventional thought is that the world cannot afford to let Japan fail because of the sheer size of its economy, and that an economic powerhouse the size of Japan simply will never default.
The Fly in the Ointment
This is similar in some respects to the effects of hurricane Sandy. An unexpected event changes the course of history, and unexpected events change the course of things. A book was written a few years ago called "the Black Swan Event" which essentially categorized the obvious, as if it was something new. One can never foretell what will happen, never mind accurately predict the future. If one could predict the future, that person would make untold riches in the stock market.
As more and more time passes, the odds increase that some White Swan event or Black Swan event will occur and will change this calculation of whether Japan will default. We just don't know what that event is until the event occurs. One thing is for sure: circumstances are sure to change - for the better or for the worse - because of some future event.
The point here is that Kyle Bass's bet against Japan has a greater risk factor than the obvious calculations that he has made. That is the "time factor". The longer his bet continues without a default by Japan, the greater the chance that a change in circumstances (an unexpected event) will change the course of history.
Hurricane Sandy & the US Presidential Race
It is said that the election of the President in the USA, depends on events occurring in the last 10 days of the campaign. This is sort of an expected truism. Both parties fear this unknown but expected event as it often changes the results of Electoral vote.
This year, the unexpected event is Hurricane Sandy. It is giving the sitting President the opportunity to look Presidential and to speak as if the election was not important when such a catastrophe was occurring.
Mitt Romney the Bystander
Mitt Romney is only a bystander, who has lost the front page of the news. His speeches are reported but with little interest. What is important to the voters is that the President is acting promptly, judiciously and for the immediate benefit of the people affected by Hurricane Sandy. The people need a concerned leader, a leader who cares for the people, a leader who puts aside political issues when a greater need arises. President Obama is now playing that role, to the chagrin of Mitt Romney.
So Hurricane Sandy may be responsible for the re-election of President Obama. Republicans are gnashing their teeth in frustration.
I don't know why democracy works. I will never figure it out, but I know that democracy works. I know that whichever candidate gets elected, it will be good for the country. America is now rising from the downturn - slowly perhaps - but it is rising and again starting to lead the world in the recovery.
Oddities of the Republican Right Wing
Mitt Romney is an interesting fellow. If you follow some of the beliefs of right wing Republicans, they are about as nutsy as extremist Muslims who kill themselves for the greater glory. You regularly hear that if a woman is raped it is God's will and the child is God's will. You hear that slashing government spending by 50% instantly will be good for the country, whereas every economist in the world says that will plunge America into another great depression. You hear of Ministers who burn the Koran. You hear about extreme beliefs and you hear TV and radio announcers talk about Obama as if he were the Devil himself, sent to destroy America and God fearing people have to rise up and defeat this man who is worse than Hitler and Stalin.
The right wing is made up of fruitcakes. Yet Romney has gained their support by agreeing with them in the Primaries. Then when Romney later speaks to the general public, he amazingly becomes a moderate who agrees with most of Obama's policies, and portrays himself as a man that can be trusted. American politics is so interesting and so weird.
Who Will Get Elected
What I take from this, is that Romney is tough enough and cynical enough and devious enough to do a good job in leading America. I also think Obama is a good President. Whichever gets elected, America will survive and thrive.

The Other End of Humerus
In an embarrassing conclusion to the saturday night game against the Brewers, the Cubs bullpen literally and figuratively exploded.
In a highlight on TV for Mr. Brenly, he went out on the ledge and predicted the two run HR from Micah Hoffpauir in the 5th inning as the big first baseman strode up to the plate. Brenly had given a handsignal to Hoffpauir before the game indicating his swing was just a pinch off the night before and he expected a sweet spot power shot tonight. Hoffpauir's blast to right was on the first pitch, making that a magic moment in the booth and both Len and Bob were somewhat giddy. Len Kasper couldn't recall any such prognostication from his partner in their 5 years together. It brought a game that felt like the Cubs were behind by a million runs actually back to a 3-2 defecit and made me realize that Ryan Dempster was having quite a solid outing.
Brenly the Prognosticator? Ryan Dempster deftly lasted into the 7th
inning although on TV, Len and Bob thought he was done after 6 and
they expressed their surprise to see him out on the mound beginning the 7th
after over 100 pitches. After back to back HR's to Counsell and Braun,
Dempster was done at 121 pitches. Cotts and Patton made the really ugly 7th a six spot for the Brewers.
During the disgusting 7th and 8th innings, the walkmasters paraded their stuff including walk(s) from Cotts, Patton, Fox and Heilman. I was suffering along with Ron Santo who said on the radio: "anytime you have 7 walks you don't deserve to win." Six of the nine walks the Cubs pitchers gave up came from the bullpen.
In the top of the 8th, the Cubs brought it back to 9-6 defecit with a 4 spot including back to back doubles by Fukudome and Bradley but the bullpen was yet to complete pouring kerosene on the ballgame.
The bottom of the 8th started with Chad Fox on the mound who promptly walked Braun (on 7 pitches) then blew out his right elbow on a pitch that was five feet high and wide above the strike zone. As we all know Fox's elbow has had multiple reconstructions and after his last term with the Cubs in which his usage by Dusty Baker drew criticism, he didn't get another surgery...just a miracle feeling that he could pitch on scar and duct tape. Apologies to Mr. Baker, time didn't heal that wound. In a 24 hour period the Cubs have exposed both the proximal humerus and the distal humerus. Ouch.
Chad Fox is now on the DL and the Cubs have called up Jose Ascanio from AAA Iowa as the bullpen parade continues.
Injury Delay...photo of Chad Fox after icing his elbow postgame.
Aaron Heilman replaces Chad Fox
Heilman promptly wets his pants by walking Fielder (4 pitches), Hardy (4 pitches) and Hart (6 pitches), with Hart's for the second run of the inning. Nobody to the rescue (Mets fans must be laughing their asses off). The cliche coaching visit to the mound does no good and then Duffy singles for another run and Kendall hits a sac fly for the Brewer's12th run.
As Arizona Phil has explained, Chad Fox was brought to the majors so that the Cubs will have roster flexibility if they get to the post-season. The Boy Scouts 60 day DL mastery merit badge goes to Jim Hendry.

Re: The Other End of Humerus
and the tightly hamstrung Ryan Freel era continues
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Nice article Cubster.
Jose Ascanio (0.94 WHIP), who just turned 24 on May 2, has been outstanding with the AAA Cubs this spring. Hope it translates to the majors. But how can a guy who stands six feet tall with this gut (http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/A/jose-asca...)only weigh 150 lbs.?
Re: the game notes: you failed to mention that "Genius Jim" traded a healthy, although he plays baseball like a wounded cockroach, Joey Gathright for a terminally injured whiney-assed pariah with a hamstring as tight as a piano wire (not to be confused with Uncle Milty) who had to be scratched from the starting lineup yesterday on his first day with the Cubs. (Is that a record?)
On a positive note... Nice to see Fukudome break out of his 3/25 funk with two hits and DPLee continue to sit allowing Micah Hoffpauir to start at first base.

Is DLee the new Wally Pipp?
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Judd Sirott on the wgn radio pregame said DLee and Freel are available to pinch hit
Re: The Other End of Humerus
time to move fox from the "cubs bullpen usage" chart to the no-doubt-soon-to-be-created "cubs dl chart".
z-aram-lee-fox; quite the talent pool there.
here's hoping kosuke, bradley, and hoff get revved up.
is soto enduring the sophomore blues? or was he a one-year wonder? still, i don't miss gabor the great.
go cubs! no sweepage today, please.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
As Arizona Phil has explained, Chad Fox was brought to the majors so that the Cubs will have roster flexibility if they get to the post-season. The Boy Scouts 60 day DL mastery merit badge goes to Jim Hendry.
As I am sure AZ Phil was saying that tongue-in-cheek, it still cost Hendry around $500K for that flexibility. And of course then there is Lou who is undoubtedly going to get blasted for hurting Fox's arm. I guess we can add Fox to the name of Lou's arms he has killed. :)
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Oh yeah, another shitty start by the Cubs. Down 2-0 already after 2 innings.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
2-2. Soriano 2 run jack.
10th HR.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
A-Fonse!!! We need the big boys to pick up the slack. Good job Soriano!
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Who's that?
Re: The Other End of Humerus
It's a pun on 'offense'.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Yes it is. And it is a nickname they called him while he was up here with the Yankees.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Pretty big win here, after 2 bullpen disasters. Guzman really came through with those 2 big innings. I think its time to move him into Heilman's spot give him the 7th inning.
Marshall had nothing the first 2 innings but righted the ship. Fontenot had some nice plays at 3rd.
The offense was good enough. Soto still looks bad. Freel did his best Gathright impression by being picked off lol
Moving forward I think the next 2 series vs the Padres and Astros are pretty big 4-2 or even 5-1 would look pretty nice.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Miles was about to choke that at bat anyways.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Marshall's MO this year is he gives up 2 or 3 early on, then pitches well for tje next 5-7 innings.
he is still young, amd I hope he finds a way to rid himself of this.
i recall Marquis did the same thing for us.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
I'm too lazy to back this up with stats so this is just a thought but it seems like Marshall would have a decent game one outing and really suck the next last year. This year he's been pretty consistent. This is almost 3/44 cuz I have said it so much but I'll never forget when Maddux was here and Marshall would park his ass next to him. Did it on more than one occasion. Students of the game often do well when they have some talent to mix in with it. And he does have a nice curve and moves around the plate nicely when he's on.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
During the second Maddux era he seemed to always give up a few runs early, only to lock it in for the next 4-5 innings.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
ESPN crew is about to drive me nuts talking about roids rather than...oh...calling the game.
blah blah blah blah blah....
guess what crew...these roiders keep getting contracts, they're for huge money, and so far...all i can tell...the downside is you might miss 1-2 months of pay and not get in the HOF.
making 10m dollars vs. 1m and no chance at HOF anyway. get caught and stay employed and pursued by other teams...giambi approves...sarge jr. definitely approves.
lemmie see...what would i do...

Re: The Other End of Humerus
The ESPN Crew is designed for the sports jocks who watch ESPN all day. For true baseball fans, they are brutal.
Re: The Other End of Humerus
Does anyone know if Soto's still hurt? Could be my imagination, but his swing looks like he's favoring his lumbar or something.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.
