My son is 6 weeks old and I was EBF him without supplements until last Friday. Every doctor visit (one per week) he was gaining 1 oz. per day perfectly. Then we went in two Friday's ago and he only gained less than half of what he should have gained. The doctor told me I had to supplement with formula. I asked if I could use the breast milk I pumped in between feedings as a supplement instead and he said no because it doesn't have enough nutrition to make him grow and I HAVE to give him formula.
I was crushed. He told me to nurse him on both sides then offer him formula and give him as much as he wants. We went back 5 days later and he gained 11oz. Which seemed like a lot unless he just had a growth spurt.
I asked if I could just BF now and he said no I have to continue with the formula until he is confident my milk is nutritious enough. The thing is I don't want to give him any formula at all. He is spitting up more with it and he already has acid reflux and is on zantac. Also, it seemed to give him diarreah. My son falls alseep at the breast and it is a big pain in the butt to wake him up for a bottle afterwards. Most of the time he doesn't even want it.
I was to go back in 5 days for another weight check which was today. Well I only BF and didn't do the formula becuase I felt it was messing his little body up and he only gained 2oz in 5 days.
I was wondering in terms of weight if you need to look at it as a whole? I wanted to post what he has gained so far to see if it seems alright.
He was born on September 10th at 7lbs 6oz. He left the hospital on the 12th at 6lbs 12oz. now 6 weeks later on October 23rd, he weighs 8lbs 13 oz.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Model Number:
The Pearl Izumi Infinity Tight delivers high-performance, run after run. Featuring a mid-weight slighty brushed fabric and significant stretch, this tight allows for strategic thermal regulation and great movement. An internal brief adds extra support and protection.
Comments: Recenly purchase the Pearl Izumi Infinity Tights. I'm 5'10" and about 175lbs medium frame. I have a 32" waist. These tights fit perfect. The tights are thin but warm. I wore them on a run in the rain and the temp was in the low 40's and stayed perfectly warm. I would think these would be okay down into the 30's to the upper 40's. They are not windproof so in cold wind you will start to feel it. They are not listed as thermal but they are. Not as much as the other PI tights. They are brushed on the inside which is very comfortable. It held out the light rain with no problem The ankles are not too tight which is okay but I would prefer them a little tighter. The brief they describe is more like an extra piece of material in the front. It is not like having a underwear fit inside. Though it is great that they put it there to keep the chill off the junk. The compression is light so it does not squeeze you but it's enough that nothing is lose. I have other running clothes and I always return to PI. The quality is outstanding and is very thought out and technical. I will use these tights for the majority of my cool or cold runs and use a thermal for the windy or really cold runs.
From: Ron W., Highspire, PA, USA
Comments: Purchased the Infinity tights primarily for cycling, but gave them a test on a four mile morning run. Temps in upper 30's plus wind chill; tights were fantastic; didnt feel the cold air at all. Really pleased with the weight of this tight. They are lycra but have a very thin fleece backing which provides the warmth w/o any added weight. Reflective taping is a nice touch esp.on those early am rides. Overall I would certainly recommend these tights runners and cyclists looking for that great Pearl Izumi fit and quality.

This guy John keeps
stats on his beer consumption. His monthly consumption
chart is impressive. I recall my buddy Jon in undergrad calculating his
university years' consumption in terms of the imaginary filling the volume of
his room in the dorm. If we understand a six-pack to be two litres and a litre
to have a volume of 61 cublic inches or 0.0353 cubic feet, you can all figure
how deep your room would be in good sweet ale if you try to harken back and
estimate. 10 two-fours would equal a column of ale one
foot by one foot by 6.7 feet high. The fluid would
also weigh
20 80 kilograms. John the record keeper has consumed
15,904.5 pints which equals 7525.63 litres or 265.65 cubic feet or a space 10
feet wide by 10 feet long by 2.65 feet deep.
All initially via the good services of Ale-fan.

RUSH: You know, I was just reminded. Something reminded me. I don't know what but I'm glad it did. I have had, in my Stack, a couple of items that I have intended to talk with you about. It is really good and important stuff. Mike Lee is new member of Congress, a senator from Utah. He beat Robert Bennett. He went on and gave a Heritage Foundation speech that was an attempt to restate conservatism. It's been controversial to some people because he said that we conservatives are spending a little too much focus in our efforts to be different from Obama and the left.
We're spending too much time talking about rugged individualism and self-reliance. All that's important, as are our positions on taxes and free markets and all that. But what we stopped talking about is what all of that means. He said we can't be afraid to discuss things like community and togetherness, and he didn't mean it in the leftist sense. He meant it in the way you and I grew up. Where I grew up, just as an example, the whole town...
I mean, we had Democrats there, but there was a sense of community, togetherness. Everybody had the same moral code, the same set of values, and everybody conducted their lives under those -- oh, I don't know -- concepts. As such, our little town was a good place. Like any other place, it had its renegades and its criminals and it had its share of leftists and so forth. I don't have the stuff right in front of me. I really need to be able to quote him here.
Because some conservatives have interpreted what he was doing as attacking certain conservative pundits today who are really focused on individualism, self-reliance. He's afraid that to too many people, that sounds like isolation: We don't care about anybody but ourselves and if everybody takes care of themselves, then we'd be fine. His point was that if everything conservatives believe in is implemented and takes place, then neighborhoods thrive and communities do well, not just individual families.
It was a really fascinating speech.
I'm sorry; I intended to talk about that Monday, and something here in the commercial break just reminded me of it. Now, I don't even know if I kept that stuff from the Stack, so I'm going to have go re-create it. But let me share with you. I'll give you a couple of pull quotes. He said, "In the last few years, we conservatives seem to have abandoned words like 'together,' 'compassion,' and 'community' ... as if their only possible meanings were as a secret code for statism.
"This is a mistake. Collective action doesn't only -- or even usually -- mean government action. Conservatives cannot surrender the idea of community to the left, when it is the vitality of our communities upon which our entire philosophy depends." He said that we should be framing the vision of America as "not an Ayn Rand novel, [but] a Norman Rockwell painting, or a Frank Capra movie..."
Conservatism is what you get in It's a Wonderful Life, except you got a Mr. Potter over there who's the local Democrat. I understood what he was talking about. Now, some people sent me notes. I'll be honest. Some people sent me notes. "Rush, you know, Lee's talking about you because whenever Republicans talk about compassion, you launch into 'em." No, I don't. But when somebody says "compassionate conservatism," I launch, because conservatism doesn't need a modifier.
Conservatism is compassionate.
No, I didn't take it personally. Some conservative pundits might; I don't know. But my point about this was, in addition to what Lee said, who did it? The Heritage Foundation sponsored this. They had Mike Lee come out and deliver a speech someplace wherever it was. I think it might have been Utah. I'm not sure where it was. But this is what they do. Jim DeMint runs the place now, and the Heritage Foundation is conservatism. They are what it is. They do not waiver. They don't float. They don't moderate, modify, what have you.
They're cutting edge. This was really, really good. What they did with this speech in having Mike Lee there and giving him a forum like this was a great example of what they do. If you want to find out about them, go to JoinHeritage.org, by the way, and you'll be able to check this yourself. Go to their website and you'll be able to get the speech, I'm sure, and read it for yourself and see what you think of it on your own. That's where you become a member, by the way, JoinHeritage.org.
But I promise I'm gonna find what I had set aside before the week is out, because I would love to get your feedback on it as well. Remember, Mike Lee's a Tea Party candidate. He got rid of Robert Bennett. I had to laugh when some people said, "You know, he's coming for you, Rush! He thinks people like you are the problem." I don't think that's what he meant, 'cause I know the Heritage Foundation doesn't think I'm a problem. The Heritage Foundation thinks I'm the solution and you are the solution. That's why the Heritage Foundation wants everybody here to know about them and what they do.
Here's George in Warren, Ohio. Great to have you on the program. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.
RUSH: You bet, sir.
CALLER: Rush, you know, all the stuff that Obama's doing to me sure looks like everything's associated with his war on success in America. I mean, stop to look at all the things that he's been doing. If you save too much in a retirement plan? Well, he's gotta tax that because that could make you successful. If you go to college and succeed and qualify for a salaried position in the automotive industry? Well, you have no commercial value, whereas all the unions get to have everything taken care of. It seems to me that he gave -- What is it? -- $29 billion, according to the Heritage Foundation, to the UAW and another billion to the IUE and the steelworkers who did not have contracts with the new GM. It's all part of his war on success 'cause he wants to have everybody dependent on the government.
RUSH: Well, I agree with a lot of that. War on success may be how it manifests itself. But what he's really doing is transforming the country and trying to abandon capitalism, and capitalism is where individuals are successful. Capitalism is the best opportunity for that. And, by the way, this gets to exactly what Mike Lee was talking about in his speech, which was at the Heritage Foundation. When you transform the country and have the government as the focal point, and everything comes from the government, when everybody gets the majority of what they have from the government, there isn't going to be the creation of wealth among too many people.
The people who will get wealthy are the crony capitalists and the associates of the president's party who will benefit from government largesse. But the idea of learning a trade or having a career and immersing yourself in it and becoming the best you can be at it, that is what is fleeting if Obama succeeds in this transformation. I'll tell you why. As the government grows, it can only grow by having the private sector shrink. And instead of saying private sector, which, 42% don't even know that Obamacare is implemented, how many the hell of 'em know what the private sector is?
The way to look at it is, as the government grows, the economy shrinks. It has to. The economy cannot grow and the government grow at the same time, because the government can only grow if it takes away from the economy. Government doesn't produce anything. Government destroys wealth. It does not create it. Individuals create wealth. Companies, corporations, which are people, create wealth and wealth opportunities. The government does not do that, unless you happen to be a big Democrat donor and the Democrats are in the White House, and as a reward you set up a phony solar energy company, and the president sends you a couple hundred, $300 billion, ostensibly to start up your business.
But that doesn't happen. You just get rich, or you happen to be the CEO of GE rolling in dough, but nevertheless you take government handouts for your green energy initiative, thereby your corporation saves a bunch of money because the government's giving you some, but where did they get it? From taxpayers. So for Obama's vision to be complete, the economy has to shrink. It's mathematics and it isn't really complicated. It gets down to one simple undeniable truth, and that is this: Real prosperity comes from everybody in the country working together in a growth mode. Real prosperity comes as a result of people's own initiative and efforts and so forth. Prosperity, if it comes from the government, is not prosperity. It's an existence or a subsistence or whatever, but it isn't prosperity.

Objective: To examine the social barriers that lead to less than optimal management of pain in children.
Design: Recognizing the vulnerabilities of infants and children and their dependence on caring adults, a model of pain communication is proposed. The model examines (a) the pain experiences of children, including social determinants; (b) developmental variations in the capacity to encode the severity and qualities of pain as expressive behavior; (c) adult skills and deficiencies in decoding pain; and (d) the actions of adults predicated on the meaning and significance attached to children's actions. Limitations in care were examined.
Data sources: The current research and professional literature were accessed through searches of the Psyclit and Medline databases for relevant investigations on the basis of our working knowledge of the literature.
Conclusion: Numerous deterrents to optimal care are identified in the domains of commonplace beliefs about the nature of pain in infants and children: failure to recognize the impact of socialization in familial and cultural modes of experience and expression; needs for age-specific assessment instruments; the limited capacity to use available evidence concerning pain; the need to employ clinicians, parents, and other adults more effectively in delivering care; and structural problems in the health care system.

Royal Princess Cruise Review by palermo22: Not As Bad As Some Others Have Written; Yet, Not The Best Cruise
Overall Member Rating
Not As Bad As Some Others Have Written; Yet, Not The Best Cruise
Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
First time on a Princess ship (previous experience has been all Celebrity) - so my faults lie strictly with Princess' policy and not per se the Royal Princess. The easy part first: The RP is very big and we had 3,600 people on the cruise; however, for the most part it seems like only half that many are aboard. The cabins were small (we had a balcony and it was difficult to move around inside - worse on the balcony). The food was good - not great - but good (equal to a 3* restaurant - maybe 4* on some nights). The one pleasant thing was the servers - they were all great and efficient. Shows were OK - again, not great but OK. I really wanted to love this cruise but there were too many things that stood in the way:
1) We missed a port because of high winds - Princess did nothing for the passengers (either monetarily or some type of acknowledgement - other than "sorry".
2) The longer you stay on the ship the more frustrated you get with Princess "nickel and diming" you. More You go to one restaurant and order tea and there is no charge - go to another restaurant and they charge $1.59 for the same tea. They charge you for shuttles when other ships would not charge you. They charged for "taxi boats" in Venice whether you planned to get off the ship or not (you had to go to the desk to get a refund.
3) In the fitness center one had to pay to get a bottle of water!
4) Off to see a port - you can buy water from Princess for $2.50
I could go on but the bottom line is that Princess is trying to act like it's a 5* ship but in reality it's a 4* - which isn't bad but if everything were up-front then there would be less criticism. Less

China reaches more than half billion cellphone usersPosted by Cedric in communications, Telecommunications
National Bureau of Statistics of China, has release some figures about telephone usage in China. Figures are self explanatory and may give some Vertigo to European operators.
In end of March 2008 they were 574 millions cellphone users in China (+94 mio in 2007), a 20% increase compared to last year. It also mean that 40% of the Chinese population own a cellphone.
The NBS reveals that in March 08, 58 billions SMS were sent (nearly 700 billions/year !)
28% of Chinese population (361 millions) uses a fixed telephone, but landline operators are losing customers (minus 4 millions for the 1sr quarter 08) as calls from mobile phones are cheaper than through landlines.
China Mobile, the first Chinese mobile phone operator has 377 millions customers at end of January (+22.6%) while Unicom China only has 181 millions customers.Tags: 2008, billions, cellphone, China, china mobile, landline, mobile, mobile phone, mobile phone operator, mobile phones, national bureau of statistics of china, population, sms, statistics, Unicom

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has its sights set on Mars. And its plans just might include bats, gloves and balls -- if some Central New York students have anything to say about it.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, in conjunction with NASA, will host an Imagine Mars workshop Nov. 7 in Cooperstown. Students in fourth through seventh grade in area schools will work to create a Baseball Stadium experience on Mars, including uniforms, stadium concepts, concessions and rules of the game. Taking information they learn about the Martian environment and the facts they learn about baseball, students will work together to devise a way baseball can be played on Mars.
Students will work in small groups with facilitators and use general art materials to create their project. Special NASA guests, including Mars scientist Jim Bell from Cornell University, will be on hand throughout the workshop. During the final hour of the workshop, parents and family members will be invited to attend the final presentation in the Museum's Bullpen Theater.
The workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7. Cost is $5 per student, which covers materials, supplies and admission to the Museum.
The workshop is limited to 50 participants. To register, visit http://education.baseballhalloffame.org/something_new/ or call 607-547-0362 to request a registration form.
The Imagine Mars project is a national arts, sciences and technology education initiative that leads students to work together with scientists, engineers, artists and civic leaders to design and share a futuristic Mars community. Students explore their home community and decide what cultural, scientific and artistic elements are important to a community's success. They discover the extreme Martian environment and imagine what life might be like on the red planet. Finally, they create a project that artistically reflects their knowledge of Mars, their understanding of community and their hopes for the future. Students share their finished project by posting it in an online gallery.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is open seven days a week year round, with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. The Museum observes regular hours of 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. from the day after Labor Day until Memorial Day Weekend. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Museum is open from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. Ticket prices are $16.50 for adults (13 and over), $11 for seniors (65 and over) and for those holding current memberships in the VFW, Disabled American Veterans, American Legion and AMVets organizations, and $6 for juniors (ages 7-12). Members are always admitted free of charge and there is no charge for children 6 years of age or younger. For more information, visit our Web site at baseballhall.org or call 888-HALL-OF-FAME (888-425-5633) or 607-547-7200.

The Lincoln Lawyer
Attorney gets his first high-paying client, trouble starts; movie.
USA TODAY Best-Selling Books
- - this week
- - last week
- #2 Best Week
- 47 Weeks on list
USA TODAY Review
'Lincoln' navigates crime curves at breakneck speed
The high-speed freeway system in and around Los Angeles intersects, crisscrosses and unexpectedly diverts onto off ramps and into detours.
The freeways are a perfect metaphor for the intricate, fast-moving plot of Michael Connelly's latest novel, The Lincoln Lawyer.
Widely praised for his best-selling series featuring on-again, off-again LAPD detective Harry Bosch, Connelly again has taken one of his occasional forays into a stand-alone novel filled with new characters and new twists but still grounded in the crime genre.
The Lincoln Lawyer is Connelly's first legal thriller and is one of the best novels he has written, if not the best. That's high praise for an author whose 15 other books including The Poet, Bloodwork, which was made into a movie starring Clint Eastwood, The Closers and The Narrows are hailed as models of crime writing.
The protagonist here is L.A. defense attorney Mickey Haller, who makes the best use of his time by doing most of his work from the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car, hence, the book's title.
Setting the novel in sprawling Los Angeles County, home to dozens of courthouses, provides Haller a seemingly endless number of potential clients.
His driver, Earl, is a former client who acts as chauffeur to pay off his legal fees. Even though most of Haller's clients are drug dealers and users, bikers and prostitutes, he's always on the lookout for "a franchise," someone who can pay top rates for his services.
Enter playboy Louis Roulet, who is accused of beating and threatening prostitute Regina Campo. Haller is hired to defend him. But this new source of income and lots of it is also the source of terror, murder and much philosophical rumination.
There are so many things to admire about The Lincoln Lawyer that one hopes Connelly is planting the seeds for a whole new series.
First, Connelly is able to create a rooting interest for a protagonist of questionable motivation. This sometimes amoral lawyer admits to being in the business for the money and the victories, yet he remains likable. Even his two ex-wives love him.
Then there are the details. Connelly does his homework. His Bosch novels are steeped in the workings of the LAPD and the criminal underbelly of the City of Angels. Similarly, his Haller novel is infused with court procedure, and the banter among cops, lawyers, judges and defendants rings true.
Lakeshore Entertainment (Million Dollar Baby) already has picked up the movie rights.
And next year, Bosch and Haller join forces in a sequel. Sounds like one heck of a ride.

Every week, NETSHARE hosts Ask the Coach, a phone-in coaching session with leading career management experts. Here is a post contributed by Cindy Kraft, The CFO Coach.
As long as I've been doing Ask the Coach calls, there are always questions around working with recruiters. It seems to be a continuing source of frustration for many job search candidates.
Yesterday's twist on the recruiter line of questioning was around how to build relationships with recruiters who post ads. A candidate applies, hears nothing, and cannot even get a phone conversation with the recruiter. The answer seems to be then … that it is virtually impossible.
The truth of the matter is that relationships need to be built BEFORE you need them. Networking is most effective when you aren't in desperate job search mode.
Recruiters are in the business of filling open positions for their client (the person who pays them their big, hefty fees). A candidate is in the business of looking for opportunities. Look – Fill … they are polar opposites. Since a recruiter will not make any money talking to candidates who need jobs but don't fit their requirements, they often won't talk to them. At least, not until they have a requisition that fits that person's background and experience.
So if you want a recruiter's assistance, build the relationship in advance. Offer him or her something of value, like your own personal contacts. If you are a resource, then they will be more receptive when you need THEIR help.

With a cameo in the 2010 TGR flick Deeper and a profile on National Geographic Television, Olsen is becoming a legend in the bush-pilot world. A former race-car driver, he spent his 20s living out of his pickup like a ski bum but hanging around racetracks. He worked as a mechanic and did whatever it took to get behind the wheel of a car. When he says, "It turns out I was a good driver, and I was fast," it's classic Olsen understatement. In fact, he raced the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans and won the 1985 Porsche Cup. After a few nasty wrecks, though, he "began to wonder if it was really worth it all" and quit the sport at age 35 for the "safety" of flying single-engine planes in Alaska—a notoriously deadly profession.
But he's survived 16 years of what he calls "mountain work," so when at the bottom of our second lap of carveable spring corn he barks at us to pile into the plane, the three of us move fast. He has no interest in getting stuck up here for the next week, and as soon as we stow skis and packs and buckle our seat belts, Olsen guns the engine, speeds across the snow, and darts us through the narrow slot and swirling clouds to safety.

SUNDAY, May 18, 2014 (HealthDay News) — Having a low sperm count doesn't seem to determine whether a man's children will be born with birth defects, a new study indicates.
With infertile couples, men are partially or fully responsible for the inability to conceive about 40 percent of the time. Assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization can help couples have children, but research has suggested a possible link between these approaches — when used to treat infertility problems in the male partner — and a higher risk of birth defects.
In the new study, researchers examined a Baylor College of Medicine database in search of possible connections between birth defects and low sperm count. The researchers didn't find any links.
"For couples considering assisted reproductive technology, the results of this study show they should not be concerned about decreased semen quality and birth defects," Dr. Tobias Kohler, residency program director at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, said in a news release from the American Urological Association. "More than 5 million happy and healthy babies have been conceived using these techniques."
The findings are scheduled for presentation Sunday at the American Urological Association annual meeting in Orlando, Fla. Kohler will moderate a session about these findings.
Research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Edwin Jeans might seem like a new competitor on the jeans scene but quite the opposite – The Edwin Jeans brand has actually been trading since as far back as the 1940's. In 1947, Edwin started out selling its goods outside the factories of Japan…a practice they continue still. But the brand has had a huge impact throughout the world, the Edwin Jeans brand were given a makeover in the 1990's and are now churning out some great designs like the "Old Man of the Sea' tee depicted above. Gotta love some merch that reminds you of Hemingway.
At the end of the day, I think Edwin Jeans represents a brand that hasn't forgotten its roots and one that stands proud of its reputation for quality. I mean, their jeans are still made with a heavy 16 ounce demin – who does that these days? I wish I still had my 503's from college…anyway, check out their site and see for yourself the variety of designs to be had.
And despite what haters may have to say, we only talk about killer jeans here. :P

FramesRama Schneider | September 16,2005
A couple I know who own an arts supply store have a series of radio ads out and about. In one of these ads the husband talks about picture frames and how they originated to act in conjunction with artwork as a faux window ... glass was extremely expensive and who wanted holes in the wall so why not surround a painting with a fancy edge that can bring out the best of artwork and pretend it's a view of the outdoors? Appearance was the important consideration.
That, in a nutshell, is the concept of framing. Only here I'm talking about framing political discussion: take pretty sounding words that may or may not reflect reality and surround them with a deliberate visual context.
A prime example of word framing comes from the infamous Bybee memo written for the Bush administration in part to define what is and isn't torture.
While you and I would certainly consider torture to include kneeing a prisoner in the thighs until their muscles turned to jelly and they died, when the Bush administration says "torture" that isn't part of their definition! The Bybee memo discusses a 1978 ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that stated being kicked "continuously on the insides of the legs" by interrogators resulting in "massive" injuries is not torture. (see pages 28 and 29) Yes ... a close relative of kicking the legs has been used by the U.S. military with death resulting ... it's called the "common peroneal strike" and involves what I started this paragraph with. (see this NY Times article for reference, but a quick web search will give you plenty of interesting reading)
A great example of visual framing came last night with President Bush's address to the nation from New Orleans.
Take a look at the White House web site and see what Bush had for a backdrop. No hungry or destitute poor black Americans and the muddied and poisoned homes they had to flee ... nope ... instead we have a gleaming white castle on the hill with an apron of well manicured lawn leading to the President in the forefront. Where's the misery we're supposed to be alleviating? How bad can it really be if that is the New Orleans the president speaks from and of? How can we trust the words of the President's address last night if this is the visual context the White House is trying to place Bush's words in?
We've had issues of great import framed in patently dishonest ways before, and the Bush administration is certainly not the first to do so (although I do think they rate among the most prolific). But we've got to beware of this framing lest we end up looking for the New Orleans equivalent of WMD. We don't need pretty pictures in great looking frames pretending to be windows to what is and what needs to be done. We need a real opening that shows reality and allows discussion of issues in a commonly understood language.MORE IN RTD

Now, suppose there are n rows where n is a function of k. How many ways are there to fill the last column of the truth table, which determined the value of the operator on those k arguments? For each of the n slots, there are two options.
Really no idea if this is the right section or not so apologies if it isn't, this section was my best guess.
The question comes in two parts:
i) A 2-ary logical operator takes two propositions, P1 and P2, and gives a truth value depending on the truth values of P1 and P2. Conjunction and disjunction are examples of 2-ary operators. How many 2-ary operators are there? Explain.
ii) A k-ary operator takes k propositions, P1.... Pk. How many k-ary operators are there? Explain your answer.
For the first part if I interpret the question right then my answer would be four (conjunction, disjunction, implication and equivalence).
The second part I'm completely baffled on, it's not so much how to do the question that's troubling me but more what is being asked. I was in a class where the question was being discussed and I overheard that 2^2k was close to the answer and I don't see how the question is asking for anything like that. It's also made me doubt my answer to the first question. Wondering if my understanding of the terms is a bit off.
Thanks for any help!

Logical Operators
Logical Operators
Example Name Result
$a and $b And TRUE if both $a and $b are TRUE.
$a or $b Or TRUE if either $a or $b is TRUE.
$a xor $b Xor TRUE if either $a or $b is TRUE, but not both.
! $a Not TRUE if $a is not TRUE.
$a && $b And TRUE if both $a and $b are TRUE.
$a || $b Or TRUE if either $a or $b is TRUE.
Some information if you wanted on different topic like Prime Numbers of mathematics ,wikipedia is best.
boolean binary operators (ones that take propositions, or more generally well-formed formulas) as inputs, and return truth-values as outputs (where the set of truth values is usually restricted to {true,false}) can be thought of as functions from the set {0,1} x {0,1} to the set {0,1} (this is essentially what a truth table is). usually "1" is identified with "true" and "0" identified with "false".
in general, the cardinality of the set of functions f:A→B is |B||A|.
since |{0,1}| (or |{true,false}|) = 2. and the cardinality of AxB is |A|*|B|,
the number of binary boolean operators is 22*2 = 16. they even have (mostly) names:
constant truth (output is always true, no matter what the input)
constant falsity (output is always false)
there are 4 binary operations that "ignore one input", these are essentially unary operators "padded with a dummy variable" (and often replaced with "not"):
(true if the first is true, false if the first is false) or "A"
(false if the first is true, true is the first is false) or "not A"
(true if the second is true, false if the second is false) or "B"
(false if the second is true, true if the second is false) or "not B"
or (disjunction/inclusive or)
if (reverse implication)
implies (only if/if...then)
if and only if (biconditional/equivalence)
and (conjunction)
nand (not and)
xor (exclusive or/not equivalent)
nimp (not implies)
nif (not if)
nor (not or)
as you can see the first five have a certain linguistic precedence, while the latter five are primarily described in terms of negating one of the first five.
we can easily compute the number of k-ary operations (k inputs) in a similar fashion:
such an operation is a function {0,1}k→{0,1} and so there are 2(2k) possible.

Amy outside her grandmother Cynthia's flat. Her grandmother influenced Amy's style and her love of jazz.
'From such an early age, Amy stood out just because of her attitude, like a beacon, completely … It's her grandma Cynthia who was a really huge influence on her in lots of ways. They were very close. If you look at the pictures of Cynthia in the exhibition you can really see a lot of where Amy got her ideas and her style. In fact, Amy had an image of Cynthia and her name tattooed on her arm. Apparently Ronnie Scott asked Amy's grandmother to marry him. I don't know if that's true, but they certainly dated.' - Abigail Morris, Director of the Jewish Museum, London

Report: Stern Says League Is Finished Negotiating
(New York, NY) — NBA Commissioner David Stern highly suggests the players accept the league's latest revised offer. In an interview with "USA Today" Sunday, Stern said he believes the deal that was offered to the players last week is "very fair." Stern also said the league is, quote, "finished negotiating," and a worse offer will be on the way if the current proposal isn't accepted.
The paper reports the union's executive committee and team player reps will go over the offer in New York on Monday. Stern says a 72-game season beginning on December 15th would be possible if the current offer is accepted. The NBA locked out the players July 1st after the previous CBA expired. All games in November have already been cancelled.

When I first began writing Hitting for the Cycle, it was under very different circumstances. It had a different title, and I was writing it as a screenplay, not a novel. I wrote two pages of screenplay and realized I had much more story to tell than I could capture in a film's script. So, I decided to start with the novel. Now that it's done, however, I can't help but fantasize about what the book might look like translated to the big screen. As such, I've been toying with what I would consider the film's soundtrack…not that I would have ANY control over something like that. But this is how writers think. Cart before the horse. While writing, I almost always listened to music, and these are the songs that resonated the most with the material in my book. One of the songs, I wrote myself. I present to you the (un)official Hitting for the Cycle soundtrack!
"Goin' Back to Philadelphia" – Bobby Burnett
"No Longer" – Leesha Harvey
"Hope Deferred" – Justin McRoberts
"February Stars" – Foo Fighters
"Turn Me On" – Norah Jones
"Write You a Song" – Plain White T's
"Farewell and Goodnight" – The Smashing Pumpkins
"Round and Round" – Aerosmith
"Kashmir" – Led Zeppelin
"Ten Thousand Angels" – Derek Webb
"Nice 'N Easy" – Frank Sinatra
"I'll Follow You" – Shinedown

RUSH: I didn't take time off away from the news, but I didn't spend a whole lot of time paying attention anything in the news about me, and so I started getting overwhelmed with e-mails from people on Saturday or Sunday about the NAGs. The NAGs are having some meeting in May oriented around getting rid of me. It's the National Organization for Women with a big convention oriented around me.
The objective is to get rid of me. I looked at it, and I said, "These poor women. They must be running out of money and members," 'cause that's all this is. Don't worry about it, folks. It's just a fundraising drive. I am a fundraising magnet. I mean, I'm the best thing that ever happened to magazine fundraisers. The NAGs are obvious running low on cash and their membership is probably not all that hot to trot, either. So they drag me out. This is not the first time. Drag me out in a Hush Rush, Get Rush convention and raise your fundraising. That's what going on. But people were e-mailing me worried silly. "Whoa, Rush, when are they gonna stop coming after you?"
RUSH: How can the NAGs attack me after calling me God's gift to women? You know, they did that. I don't know if we have that audio. (interruption) It's 'cause women can change their minds? Is that it? I guess so. Did we have audio of that, or was it just a printed report where one of these women said that? During the contraception craze, controversy, they called me -- some fundraiser, some feminist fundraiser -- said I'm God's gift to women, or God's gift to their organization.
At any rate, the National Organization for Women... (interruption)
Why would men want to crash it, Snerdley? I don't think so. I'm sure Alan Alda's invited. I haven't seen anything about that. I assume men can go. The head NAG, Terry O'Neill, said, "The work we have ahead of us is not gonna be easy. Right now it really seems like, you know, we've got this godsend named Rush Limbaugh..." That's it. That's it. "[W]e've got this godsend named Rush Limbaugh..." She actually said it. The head NAG, who is running their convention in May to get rid of me, said that I'm a godsend. " The work we have ahead of us is not gonna be easy. Right now it really seems like, you know, we've got this godsend named Rush Limbaugh..."
So I was God's gift to the NAGs not long ago. Now they're gonna have a convention to get rid of me. (laughing)
RUSH: This is from March the 10th in New Orleans. The National Organization for Women Mid-South Regional Conference, the NOW president Terry O'Neill delivered the keynote address. We have the really only important thing that she had to say.
O'NEILL: The work we have ahead of us is not gonna be easy. Right now it really seems like, you know, we've got this godsend named Rush Limbaugh --
NAGS: (giggling)
WOMAN: Wooo!
O'NEILL: -- who has, like dropped this thing in our lap, which is just wonderful. But the road ahead is really not gonna be completely rosy. We've got to be very clear on what the challenges are, and very clear about how we can move our own agenda forward in the current political climate.
RUSH: There you have it: "godsend named Rush Limbaugh."
So I was God's gift to the NAGs back on March 10th. And now in May they're gonna convene again -- another convention -- this time to get rid of me. God's gift to women. (chuckles) See, this is how quickly you can lose favor with them. But any rate, ladies and gentlemen, it's a fundraising thing and probably a membership drive as well.

How do I submit an application to mutiple complexes at once? Is this doable? Must I fill out a rental app for 12 different places 12 different times? If not, someone should consider making this an option. It makes sense for those looking at many apartments here.

The majority of the applications are pretty much the same, but you will probably need to fill out the applications. If you are filling them out online, then it should be easy, but in general the application will be the same. It's definitely a pain, but why do you need to apply to 12 places?

text: This perennial wildflower is consists of a low rosette of basal leaves spanning about 6' across, from which one or more flowering stalks develop. The basal leaves are up to 3½' long and 3½' across; they are ovate-cordate, cordate, to nearly orbicular in shape and their margins are crenate-serrate. Leaf bases are indented, while leaf tips are rounded to bluntly pointed. The upper leaf surface is medium green and glabrous, while the lower surface is pale-medium green and glabrous (or nearly so). Leaf venation is mostly palmate. The petioles are up to 4' long, light green, and glabrous. Solitary flowers are produced at the tips of pedicels up to 7' long. The erect to ascending pedicels are light green to light purplish green and glabrous. Each flower is about ¾' across, consisting of 5 medium to dark blue-violet petals (rarely white), 5 light green sepals, and the reproductive organs. The petals are elliptic-obovate in shape and about twice the length of the sepals. The 2 lateral petals have short white hairs with swollen tips near the throat of the flower. The lowermost petal has a patch of white with radiating purple veins in the front, while in the back it has a short stout nectar spur. The sepals are linear-lanceolate and glabrous; they usually have pointed auricles (eared basal lobes) up to 4 mm. long. The blooming period occurs from mid- to late spring for about 1 month. Afterwards, successfully fertilized flowers are replaced by seed capsules about ½' long that are light green and ovoid-oblongoid in shape. In addition to these flowers, cleistogamous (self-fertile) flowers are produced that lack showy petals. The cleistogamous flowers are produced on ascending pedicels during the summer. At maturity, the capsules of both types of flowers split open into 3 sections, to eject their seeds. Individual seeds are about 2.5 mm. in length, globoid in shape, and dark-colored. The root system consists of a crown with fibrous roots and rhizomes.

Preventative Medicine
We feel that preventative medicine is very important in ferrets and recommend yearly exams for youngsters and biannual exams for older ferrets (4 years or older). At VCA East Mill Plain Animal Hospital we offer ferret specific vaccinations for rabies and canine distemper virus. Ferrets are sensitive species, and have been known to have allergic reactions to vaccines. Because of this, a dose of benadryl is given prior to your ferret's vaccine and two vaccines are typically not given in the same day.
Dental Disease
Did you know that your ferret's closest relative in the wild is the European polecat? Ironically enough not much has changed in the size, behavior, and dentition during the domestication of the modern day ferret. Because polecats and ferrets are obligate carnivores (meaning they only eat meat), feeding commercial high quality ferret or feline diets are appropriate for their nutritional needs, yet can cause dental disease not seen in the wild due to the polecat's strictly meat diet. Dry kibble is hard and crunchy, which is abrasive to ferret teeth and can cause abnormal wear, especially to the molars. As with any species, as ferrets get older, they develop tartar and gingivitis. Our goal is to prevent dental disease by performing routine, yearly, dental work on pet ferrets. During this procedure, your ferret's entire mouth will be assessed for dental disease, fractured or broken teeth, and gingivitis. Routine cleanings include scaling of the teeth, polishing, and fluoride treatment.
- Ferrets have 28 to 30 baby (deciduous) teeth
- Ferrets lose their baby teeth between 7-11 weeks
- Ferrets have 34 adult (permenant) teeth
- The largest tooth is the fourth upper premolar, also known as the carnassial tooth that in the polecat is primarily used to rip and tear meat
Ferret Endocrine Disease
Unfortunately as ferret's get older, they are prone to the development of endocrine (glandular) disease. The two most common diseases seen in ferrets are insulinoma and adrenocortical disease. Our veterinarians are highly trained in diagnosing these diseases, and providing treatment, such as surgical removal and placing deslorelin implants.

Good value. Good location. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.
Problems with the elevators.
The swimming pool was very good, breakfast was good and the room was nice.
Maybe a little noisy, but we were in Brazil!
The Oceanside rooms present a wonderful view of the entire beach area. The hotel's rooftop pool and bar area was a pleasant surprise. The water was warm and the staff friendly. Lastly, the direct connection from the hotel lobby to the shopping mall was a welcomed bonus as well.
Alcoholic drinks in the hotel lobby were outrageously expensive. One commonly found drink was $29.00 usd! This same drink is found for less than $14.00 usd in all other Brazil locations. During check out time clearly ask the attendant to present you the invoice prior to completion of check out. If not done the hotel attendant will close the bill and possibly add extra "fees" without your ability to dispute them. Even the manager would not support a dispute process once closed. The check out process, and how it was handled by the entire hotel staff, so upset me it gained a negative review from me and thus lost my entire company's business in the process. a real shame for an otherwise good hotel.
