Holden residents raise nearly $39,000 for Jimmy Fund
The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge raised a record-breaking $33 million for cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its August cycling event - $7 million more than last year. The total sum is more than twice the amount ever raised for charity by any other athletic fundraising event. It is the single largest contribution made to the Jimmy Fund.
Ten PMC cyclists, who reside in Holden, raised nearly $39,000 of the $33 million:
"Raising as much money as possible for cancer research is the foundation of the PMC culture," says Billy Starr, PMC founder and executive director. "PMCers compete more about the money they raise than they do about their cycling speed."
Founded in 1980 when 36 cyclists rode across Massachusetts and raised $10,200 for the Jimmy Fund, the PMC is known today as the "gold standard" of athletic fundraising events. Through the 1990s, the PMC contributed between 92 to 99 cents of rider-raised dollar. PMC 2008 is set for August 2 and 3. Registration opens online on January 8 for alumni and January 15 for newcomers. For more information about the Pan-Mass Challenge, visit www.pmc.org.

RUSH: Here is Mike in North Providence, Rhode Island, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.
CALLER: Mr. Limbaugh, thank you for taking my call. It's an honor to speak to you. To answer your question before, no I do not think Lindsey Graham is the future of our party. In fact, I think that the future of the Republican Party is no one like Lindsey Graham. I think the future of the Republican Party is Marco Rubio. He ran a campaign, I'm sure you're aware of it because you live down there and you follow this stuff, but he ran a campaign that spoke about American exceptionalism better than anybody I've heard of since Ronald Reagan. And he articulated it to a point where it's hard to disagree with him.
RUSH: I agree.
CALLER: And, you know, I, in a way, disagree what you're saying about Angle and O'Donnell. No, the answer to that would not have been a Mike Castle or a Lowden, but I contend that if Marco Rubio lived in Nevada and ran the same campaign that he ran in Florida, he would be the senator from Nevada. Same thing with (garbled), and, you know, we need to find our own Marco Rubios wherever we are. I'm the bluest of blue states here in Rhode Island, but, if Marco Rubio ran here, and ran the same campaign he ran in Florida --
RUSH: You know, this is an interesting premise. A lot of people are saying we need to find candidates. A lot of people are saying we need to go out there and "vet" candidates. I've heard some people say, "We need to find better Christine O'Donnells." The problem with that is nobody found her. She's an outsider. She effervesced. (That's "bubbled up." Think beer, for those of you in Rio Linda. Bubbles, beer, big head.) She just bubbled up. The Republican Party didn't go out there and say, "Ah, Christine O'Donnell! Yeah, okay, we've identified a candidate. Let's vet her." Same thing with Angle. Now, maybe there's a way around this. Maybe as part of the Limbaugh Institute we begin this process. (interruption) Well, I'll explain it in do you course. I'm just planting the seed out there now, but I agree with you about Marco Rubio. It would be wonderful if every Republican candidate could articulate it the way he does. Sadly, they're not all going to be able to. They will all be able to vote it. They'll all be able to vote it, and that's the important thing: Getting them there to vote it. V-O-T-E it! Sometimes people get confused when syllables run together.
RUSH: To northeast Pennsylvania. Bob, I'm glad you waited. You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
CALLER: Dittos from northeast Pennsylvania, Rush.
RUSH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER: You challenged some of the listeners early on in your show to call in and talk about whether the future of Republicans would be the establishment or the new faces, and I just simply called in to cast my vote, and then I was challenged to say why. And of course my feeling is that Palin represents that new face, and when challenged, I said, "Well, we have old wineskins, and we're trying to put new wine in old wineskins," and I just thought that was a pretty fair metaphor for it.
RUSH: Well, good. So you reject the notion that Lindsey Graham and Trent Lott are the face and the future of the party?
CALLER: Yeah, they're the face of the fifties, I think.
RUSH: Yeah. All right. I appreciate it, Bob, thanks much. Victor in Fort Wayne, Indiana, you are next. Hello.
CALLER: Hey, Rush. How are ya?
RUSH: Very well, sir. Thank you.
CALLER: Let's see. My face for the political party would be Chris Christie --
RUSH: Okay.
CALLER: -- Richard Burr, Mike Pence, and Mitch Daniels -- and not Trent Lott. (laughing)
RUSH: (laughing) Right.
RUSH: Patrick in Arlington, Virginia, great to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.
CALLER: Hello, Rush, I'd like to cast my vote and then ask you a question about the Fed. But first I'd like to sing the high praises of Maha Rushie and do a quick shout out to my conservative parents who are now washed in red central New York. My vote would be for Chris Christie first, Jim DeMint second, Palin and Bachmann third, and then maybe Rudy Giuliani for attorney general. But they all have to, and this for me personally --
RUSH: Right.
CALLER: -- stand firm on pro-life values.
RUSH: Right.
CALLER: And that's the first sign for me of what a conservative is.
RUSH: Yeah.

Hi, all!
I plan to sort rows to an numerical matrix. First sort them in descending order based on first column, then if there is a tie, sort those in the tie in descending order on second column, and so on(if tie sort on the next column).
Generally, it is possible to do this kinder of sorting but I notice "sortrows" command and it can sort rows based on which column. But is there a easier way to do my algorithm described above?
No products are associated with this question.
I cannot imagine that there is any easier method than sortrows:
x = randi(4, 8, 8); y = sortrows(x);
For more performance see: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/57629
[EDITED] For large arrays like randi(4, 1e5, 10) this is about 10% faster than sortrows:
function [y, index] = leanSortRows(x) [v, index] = sort(x(:, n)); %#ok<ASGLU> for k = n-1:-1:1 [v, index2] = sort(x(index, k)); %#ok<ASGLU> index = index(index2); end y = x(index, :);
This is similar to the fallback for backward sorting. The MEX-function sortrows.c, which called for standard cases uses the quicksort algorithm of the C-libs, which are obviously slower than Matlab's built-in SORT.
Thanks, Jan! Let me think it over again.

NextFractal is an application for creating amazing fractal images. The fractal images are generated from simple scripts written in M language. The M language is a Domain Specific Language designed for creating Mandelbrot and Julia sets. NextFractal provides tools for zooming fractals, browsing images, and exporting images as PNG files.
NextFractal is free software, available for Mac, Windows and Linux. NextFractal requires Java SDK 8 or later. We recommend a computer with multi-core CPU, modern graphics card, and 1Gb of RAM. Download the software archive for your platform and decompress the archive in your preferred folder. The latest release of NextFractal and the source code are available on GitHub.
The M language is a Domain Specific Language designed to create Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Using M language you can define the orbit algorithm and the color algorithm for generating a fractal image. You can define multiple color palettes and multiple orbit traps. You can use expressions to activate rules and compute colors, and you can set the opacity to compose rules.
Please read the grammar specification of the M language which provides the exact definition of all the lexical tokens and syntactic rules you can use in any M script. The grammar specification is also available in PDF format for download.
Please see the grammar tutorial to know more about the M language. The tutorial shows how to use the M language to generate fractals and how to implement various techniques for computing orbits and colors.
The Mandelbrot set is one of the most fascinating objects that we can encounter in geometry. The discovery of this fractal object in 1979 is attributed to Benôit Mandelbrot who founded the new branch of Fractal Geometry. Mandelbrot introduced the word Fractal from latin Fractus, which means irregular, to describe a new class of objects which have similar properties. Fractals have an irregular shape and present a property called self-similarity. Benôit Mandelbrot defined the attributes these objects including the fractal dimension which measures the irregularity.
A Fractal is an object with an irregular geometric shape each part of which is statistically similar to the whole. For simplicity we can say that a Fractal contains copies of the whole object at different scale level.
The Mandelbrot set is defined as the set of points of the complex plane which generate orbits of a not linear system that don't converge to any attractor for that system. The simplest Mandelbrot set you may create is the set of equation x ^ 2 + w which represents the not linear system x(n + 1) = x(n) * x(n) + w, where x and w are complex numbers, n is a positive integer, and the initial state is x(0) = 0. Even a simple equation like x ^ 2 + w generates a complex object with unexpected properties. One of the most surprising property is that the Mandelberot set is totally connected, which means that given two points of the set you can always connect them with a line contained in the set.
In order to represent the Mandelbrot set of equation x ^ 2 + w on the screen of your computer, you have to map the pixels of the screen to the points of the complex plane. For each point p = (px,py) set w = px + py i, and iterate the system equation from 0 to n <= N, where |x(n)| > 2 or n = N, and N is the maximun number of iterations. You will generate a sequence x(0), x(1), x(2), ..., x(n) for state variable x, which represents the orbit of point p. Finally color the pixel with a color derived as function of the state values and/or iteration n.
The M script for generating the Mandelbrot set of equation x ^ 2 + w is very simple. You can easily identify the region [<-3.0,-1.5>,<0.0,1.5>], the iteration interval [0,200], the loop condition |x| > 2, the system equation x = x * x + w, the background color (1,0,0,0), and the color rule which sets the color to element n - 1 of linear gradient when n > 0:
fractal { orbit [<-3.0,-1.5>,<0.0,1.5>] [x,n] { loop [0, 200] (|x| > 2) { x = x * x + w; } } color [(1,0,0,0)] { palette gradient { [#FFFF0000 > #FFFFFFFF, 10]; [#FFFFFFFF > #FF000000, 190]; } rule (n > 0) [1.0] { gradient[n - 1] } } }
The script above generates the image below when executed in NextFractal. You can see that the Mandelbrot set has a irregular frontier with many tentacles which depart from the central bulb. You can't immidiately see it but the tentacles are very thin and actually they spread all around.
You may change the region and zoom close to the frontier of the Mandelbrot set to see more details. The more you zoom, the more details you find and you may also find copies of the whole Mandelbrot set. The amount of details depends on the maximun number of iterations N, the higher is the value of N the more details you see. This richness of details makes the Mandelbrot set the most complex object in mathematics.
NextFractal provides tools for zooming, moving and rotating the images to discover new details. Unfortunately decimal numbers provided by a computer CPU have a finite resolution, so you cannot continue to zoom the Mandelbrot set over a certain limit using floaitng point numbers. You may use a software library which provides decimal numbers with higher resolution but usually these libraries are not suitable for realtime application.
The Julia sets and the Fatou sets are fractal objects derived from the Mandelbrot set. They are generated from the same equation of the Mandelbrot set but with a different initial state. Actually the Mandelbrot set is a map of all possible Julia and Fatou sets. Each point inside the Mandelbrot set generates a Julia set, and each point outside the Mandelbrot set generates a Fatou set. Basically Julia and Fatou sets differ for one property, that all Julia sets are totally connected as the Mandelbrot set and on contrary all Fatou sets are not connected. For that reason Fatou sets are also called fractal dusts.
In order to represent a Julia or a Fatou set on the screen of your computer, you have to map the pixels of the screen to the points of the complex plane. Given a constant w = wx + wy i, for each point p = (px,py) set x = px + py i and iterate the system equation from 0 to n <= N, where |x(n)| > 2 or n = N, and N is the maximun number of iterations. You will generate a sequence of state values like x(0), x(1), x(2), ..., x(n), which represents the orbit of point p. Finally color the pixel with a color derived as function of the state values and/or iteration n.
The M script for generating a Julia or a Fatou set is very similar to the script for generating the Mandelbrot set. They differ for the initial values of w and x. For Julia and Fatou sets w is a constant and x is a variable. The constant w determines the shape of the fractal:
fractal { orbit [<-1.5,-1.5>,<1.5,1.5>] [x,n] { begin { x = w; w = <0.28,0.53>; } loop [0, 200] (|x| > 2) { x = x * x + w; } } color [(1,0,0,0)] { palette gradient { [#FFFF0000 > #FFFFFFFF, 10]; [#FFFFFFFF > #FF000000, 190]; } rule (n > 0) [1.0] { gradient[n - 1] } } }
The script above generates the image below when executed in NextFractal. NextFractal provides tools for generating a Julia or Fatou set for a specific constant w. Usually you don't need to insert the begin statement in your script unless you want to force a specific value of w as in the example above.
Remember that Mandelbrot set and Julia and Fatou sets are deeply interconnected by the system equation. You can observe that the shape of the Julia or Fatou set for constant w = wx + wy i reflects the shape of Mandelbrot set around the same point w of complex plane.
NextFractal provides a tool for generating a preview of Julia or Fatou set for any point of Mandelberot set. You can use the Mandelbrot set to predict the shape of the Julia or Fatou set. Because Julia and Fatou sets are basically the same from the point of view of the computing algorithm, NextFractal doesn't distinguish Julia sets from Fatou sets.
We want to share with you some beautiful images generated with NextFractal. The scripts for all images are available as part of NextFractal distribution. Download the application and start exploring these beautiful fractals on your computer.

Today, while sitting in a handicapped seat on the bus, an old man angrily approached me and chewed me out in front of everyone for not leaving the seat empty for "those who actually need it." Then he stormed off the bus, stepping heavily on my broken foot. FML

Wichita Falls police have identified the body found behind a home yesterday.
They say 61-year-old William Brantley Gregg III was found dead in the backyard of a home in the two-thousand block of 10th St.
Sergeant John Spragins says officers were sent to the residence after a man walking in the alley reported a strong smell.
Spragins says the man looked in the backyard and spotted what he believed to be a body.
WFPD's Criminal Investigations Section will continue their investigation into Gregg's cause of death.

"Caroline Ellis was a pleasure to work with.
She made our wedding day really special, she made it easy and comfortable to work with. Capturing our photos on the day was all done with care and she has a fantastic eye for detail and it shows in the photos she takes.
We also loved the photo booth at the reception and its a fantastic way to have fun with your guests and catch up with people who never got a chance to get a photo with the bride and groom. Its something to consider if you want to have more time in your schedule.
We also had a fifty page album made up and its just beautiful, I have had so many people comment about our album.
Overall I would highly recommend Caroline Ellis as a wedding photographer and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Justin and I would like to thank you for the job you did at our wedding and we are really happy with the end results."
