Goal 2025 Strategy #2: Mobilize Employers and Communities
Lumina releases a series of new studies on companies investing in employee tuition benefits
Lumina has partnered with Accenture to design a study analyzing the financial impact of employer-sponsored tuition assistance programs. A total of five reports will be released over the coming months.
Webinar discussion on first two studies, June 15, 2016
Talent Investments Pay Off
Communications Technology Company Realizes Returns for Investments in Tuition Assistance
The second study in the series: Talent Investments Pay Off
From 2012 to 2014, a large communications technology company (masked as "Large CommTech") provided employees $138M in tuition assistance through its Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). That program resulted in 39.2% ROI ($54.2M net savings), as a result of avoided talent management costs. Both the business and employees benefited as a result of TAP investments.Continue Reading

Cigna Realizes Return on Investment from Tuition Benefits
An analysis of health insurer Cigna's Education Reimbursement Program (ERP) shows every dollar the company puts into the program is returned and generates an additional $1.29 in savings—a 129 percent return on investment. Lumina Foundation, a national foundation focused on increasing postsecondary attainment partnered with Cigna to design the study, which was conducted by Accenture, a leading global professional services company.Continue Reading
Our Aim
We want to work together with employers, metro areas and regions to encourage broader adoption of Goal 2025. To that end, we seek to create and strengthen the collaborative partnerships needed to increase attainment and more closely align postsecondary education with workforce and civic needs.
Regions, particularly large metropolitan areas, are well suited to these mobilization efforts – and we are working intently in many metro regions, seeking to inform, connect and assist the array of stakeholders in each region who need to take action.
Our Actions
Lumina is working to establish metropolitan regional partnerships based on active engagement and collaboration of political leadership, employers and business, higher education institutions, K-12 education, youth-serving organizations, local foundations and funders, college access networks, and faith-based and other community organizations.
This work is led by Lumina Strategy Director Haley Glover.

The theory mess: deconstruction in eclipse
Rapaport, H. (2001) The theory mess: deconstruction in eclipse, New York, USA, Columbia University Press, 304pp.
Full text not available from this repository.
Although deconstruction has become a popular catchword, as an intellectual movement it has never entirely caught on within the university. For some in the academy, deconstruction, and Jacques Derrida in particular, are responsible for the demise of accountability in the study of literature.
Countering these facile dismissals of Derrida and deconstruction, Herman Rapaport explores the incoherence that has plagued critical theory since the 1960s and the resulting legitimacy crisis in the humanities. Against the backdrop of a rich, informed discussion of Derrida's writings—and how they have been misconstrued by critics and admirers alike—The Theory Mess investigates the vicissitudes of Anglo-American criticism over the past thirty years and proposes some possibilities for reform.

Counting sheep in Gosau
Location: Iglmoosalm, Gosau
Counting sheep in Gosau
The sheep day, which is always the end of September, attracts many visitors from both home and abroad, up on to the Iglmoosalm high above the Gosau Valley in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut. Also for many locals, this annual event is not to be missed.
What is sheep mustering?
In spring various farmers drive their sheep from the Gosau valley up onto the lush pastures around Gosau. As there are no fences, the numerous lambs get mixed up over the summer months. Therefore their owners provide them with ear tags. When autumn arrives, the flocks of sheep are driven into an enclosure where the sheep mustering begins. Based on the ear tag, each sheep can now be re-assigned to their owner. What is important is the crier, who calls out the markings or numbers of the earmarks, in typical dialect.
On the slow train to the mustering
The Gosau slow train will bring you to the Iglmoosalm easily and without any effort. Departure is 9:00 hrsfrom the Gosau Tourist Office. The journey takes about 45 minutes. The sheep mustering begins at 10 a.m.. For those who prefer to hike, the hike to the Iglmoosalm, from the Pötschpass main road (B166) takes about 1 hour. During the mustering, a crier calls out the numbers of the ear tags of the sheep – in this way they get returned to their owners.
A pleasant day, with delicious Alm delicacies, awaits you on the Iglmoosalm. We wish you a memorable Alm experience in the Dachstein Salzkammergut holiday region.

The week that was
THE DIAMOND STATE? Everyone knows there's oil in North Dakota, but diamonds? Perhaps. It was reported last week that an international company had drilled a hole near St. Thomas in a search for diamonds. Geologists say rock formations in eastern North Dakota resemble those in diamond-producing parts of nearby Canada. The company said it was searching for kimberlites, or molten rock from ancient volcanoes where diamonds could occur. After not finding any, the company said the project was not encouraging enough to continue, although company officials said that doesn't mean they believe finding diamonds in the state is impossible. It certainly is an interesting proposition. Perhaps someday North Dakota will be known as home to diamonds as well as black gold.
ADDRESSING POSTAL PROBLEMS We're glad to see the U.S. Postal Service has taken notice of the increasing demand for its services in western North Dakota, where the ongoing oil boom has boosted populations in large and small towns alike. The Postal Service announced recently that it will "take steps to ensure that staffing, transportation, facilities and equipment are adequate to establish and maintain excellent service to customers."?That's good news for towns with growing populations, like Williston, Ray, Tioga and Watford City. The Postal Service plans to have senior level managers temporarily assigned to several locations to determine the needs of customers, and to evaluate what changes need to be made. We suspect that once the managers are on locations, they will fully realize the stress levels being put upon employees of smaller post offices, and will better understand the necessity of having postal services available.

The Forge of Christendom: The End of Days and the Epic Rise of the Westby Tom Holland
A grand narrative history of the re-emergence of Europe following the collapse of the Roman Empire. At the approach of the first millennium, the Christians of Europe did not seem likely candidates for future greatness. Weak, fractured, and hemmed in by hostile nations, they saw no future beyond the widely anticipated Second Coming of Christ. But when the world did not end, the peoples of Western Europe suddenly found themselves with no choice but to begin the heroic task of building a Jerusalem on earth.
In The Forge of Christendom, Tom Holland masterfully describes this remarkable new age, a time of caliphs and Viking sea kings, the spread of castles and the invention of knighthood. It was one of the most significant departure points in history: the emergence of Western Europe as a distinctive and expansionist power.
Editorial Reviews
If Y2K proved anticlimactic, the Y1K crisis-apocalyptic expectations surrounding the year 1000-had a lasting impact, argues this far-ranging, over-reaching history of medieval Europe. Holland (Persian Fire) surveys the two and a half centuries between the fragmenting of Charlemagne's empire and the First Crusade, visiting milestones like the Norman conquest of England along with lesser invasions, raids, feudal vendettas, kidnappings and pope vs. antipope squabbles. He discerns movement amid the tumult and slaughter, as Catholic Europe went from anxious beleaguerment by the barbarians coming from every direction to confident expansionism. Holland's thesis that it was the disappointment of millennial hopes that gave Christendom its new focus on worldly progress is weakly supported; he has a hard time showing that anyone besides churchmen thought about the approaching millennium. His greater theme is Catholicism's civilizing mission: pagan foes are converted and co-opted, a new class of marauding knights is tamed by Church peace councils, and Pope Gregory VII's defiance of Emperor Henry IV inaugurates church-state separation. Holland's colorful, energetic narrative vividly captures the medieval mindset, while conveying the dynamism that underlay a seemingly static age. Maps.

British historian Holland (Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Empire) has written a big, old-fashioned study of the reemergence of Europe following the disastrous collapse of the Roman Empire. He argues that expectation of Apocalypse at 1000 C.E. (or thereabouts) shaped the course of the era from Charlemagne to the start of the Crusades, i.e., roughly 800-1100 C.E. His vast setting shifts among locations as far-flung as York, Cordoba, Kiev, Constantinople, and Jerusalem. The huge cast includes all the great personalities of the time: popes and emperors, warriors and saints, including Canute, William the Conqueror, Pope Gregory VII, and Emperor Henry IV, along with many lesser prelates and warlords. To hold this diffuse story together, Holland relies with some success on lively, jokey, confident prose. His bloody saga of embryonic European states (and their alliances and conflicts with a power-hungry papacy) rather swamps any Millennial argument: Holland does not persuade the reader that concern about the End of Days played a significant role in the actions of the savage, power-hungry men who began assembling the proto-states of Germany, France, England, and Spain and launched the Crusades, the first pan-European enterprise. This book will appeal to all who enjoy a good history read.
Stewart Desmond
"An entertaining account of the fraught last years of the Dark Ages."
—The Wall Street Journal
"An enjoyable and exuberantly argued book. . . . Holland combines sound scholarly credentials with a gift for storytelling on a magisterial scale. . . . In a tightly woven and sometimes witty narrative, [Holland demonstrates] the subtle interplay of genuine religious sentiment and cynical power politics."
—The Economist
"A sweeping and hugely enlightening study of Western history."
—Providence Journal
"Prodigious. . . . A marvelous, enthralling read, [it] gives a lively sense of these turbulent centuries that were so crucial in the making of Western civilization. . . . Narrative history in the grand manner, written with the panache and confidence we associate with the great historians of the 18th and 19th centuries."
—Daily Telegraph (London)
"A superb, fascinating and erudite medieval banquet of slaughter, sanctity and sex, filled with emperors, whores and monks."
—Simon Sebag-Montefiore, The Evening Standard (London)
"Fresh from his triumphs in Rome and Persia, Tom Holland turns his brilliant narrative spotlight on the so-called 'dark ages' that followed the Western Empire's decline. Global in reach, this book sweeps thrillingly over the troubled centuries that saw the triumph of Byzantium, the ascent of Islam—and the lingering disaster of the Crusades. . . . Unlike other blockbuster histories, this one takes as much care with beliefs as with the battles they provoked. We all live in the feverish aftermath of these events, which makes Holland's galloping guidance all the more timely."
—The Independent (London)
"A fast and lively lesson in that period which school so often misses out. . . . Another blockbuster."
—The Sunday Times (London)
"A tremendously good read, which will no doubt gain more accolades and many more readers."
—The Sunday Telegraph (London)
"As a stirring, vivid and formidably learned analysis of the events surrounding the Millennium, this will hardly be equalled. Extraordinary insights and lapidary phrases abound."
—The Independent on Sunday (London)
"It is perfectly right for Holland to claim a great deal for the 11th century, of which his book is a splendid, highly coloured canvas."
—The Guardian (London)
"Nobody believes in the Dark Ages any more, but Holland's brightness and clarity makes this account of the year 1000 exceptionally pleasing."
—The Scotsman
"This was the era when dragons were still thought to stalk the Earth; when daredevil noblemen would cover their bodies in honey and allow it to be licked off by ravening bears. . . . Mightily readable—far more than the stories of Greeks and Romans, this is your history."
—Mail on Sunday (London)
"Remarkable. . . . Both a vastly entertaining read, with grandiloquent Gibbon-like sweep, as well as deeply intelligent: it constitutes a major contribution to some of the most crucial issues of our time."
—John Cornwell, The Tablet
"An exhilarating sweep across European history either side of the year 1000; riveting."
—The Spectator
"In the year 1000, Western Europe was no more than a primitive and fearful region in the shadow of Byzantium and Islam. Yet as Tom Holland demonstrates in this fascinating history it was also the crucible for the creation of the Europe we know today. From the age of Canute and William the Conqueror, Pope Gregory VII and the Vikings this vivid and bloodthirsty history is a riveting insight into what made us the people we are."
—The Daily Mail (London)

The Return of the King
The Whore of Babylon
"All these will I give you," said Satan, showing Jesus the kingdoms of the world, "if you will fall down and worship me."1 But Jesus, scorning empire, refused the temptation. And Satan, confounded, retired in great confusion; and angels came and ministered to the Son of Man. Or so, at any rate, his followers reported.
The kingdoms shown to Jesus already had a single master: Caesar. Monarch of a city which had devoured the whole earth, and trampled it down, and broken it to pieces, "exceedingly terrible,"2 he swayed the fate of millions from his palace upon the hill of the Palatine in Rome. Jesus had been born, and lived, as merely one of his myriad subjects. The rule proclaimed by the "Anointed One," the "Christ," however, was not of this world. Emperors and their legions had no power to seize it. The Kingdom of Heaven was promised instead to the merciful, the meek, the poor. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."3 And Jesus -- even facing death -- practised what he had preached. When guards were sent to arrest him, his chief disciple, Peter, "the rock" upon whom it had been prophesied that the Church itself would be built, sought to defend his master; but Jesus, healing the man wounded in the ensuing scuffle, ordered Peter to put up his weapon. "For all who take the sword," he warned, "will perish by the sword."4 Dragged before a Roman governor, Jesus raised no voice of complaint as he was condemned to death as an enemy of Caesar. Roman soldiers guarded him as he hauled his cross through the streets of Jerusalem and out on to the execution ground, Golgotha, the Place of the Skull. Roman nails were hammered through his hands and feet. The point of a Roman spear was jabbed into his side.
In the years and decades that followed, Christ's disciples, insisting to the world that their master had risen from His tomb in defiance of Satan and all the bonds of death, not surprisingly regarded the empire of the Caesars as a monstrosity. Peter, who chose to preach the gospel in the very maw of the beast, named Rome "Babylon";5 and it was there that he, like his master, ultimately suffered death by crucifixion. Other Christians arrested in the capital were dressed in animal skins and torn to pieces by dogs, or else set on fire to serve the imperial gardens as torches. Some sixty years after Christ had departed from the sight of His disciples, a revelation of His return was granted to a disciple named John, a vision of the end of days, in which Rome appeared as a whore "drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs," mounted upon a scarlet beast, and adorned with purple and gold -- "and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: 'Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations.'"6 Great though she was, however, the doom of the whore was certain. Rome would fall, and deadly portents afflict mankind, and Satan, "the dragon, that ancient serpent,"7 escape his prison, until at last, in the final hour of reckoning, Christ would come again, and all the world be judged, and Satan and his followers be condemned to a pit of fire. And an angel, the same one who had shown John the revelation, warned him not to seal up the words of the prophecy vouchsafed to him, "For the hour is near."
But the years slipped by, and Christ did not return. Time closed the eyes of the last man to have seen Him alive. His followers, denied a Second Coming, were obliged to adapt to a present still ruled by Caesar. Whore or not, Rome gave to them, as to all her subjects, the fruits of her world-spanning order. Across the empire, communities of Christians spread and flourished. Gradually, step by tentative step, a hierarchy was established capable of administering these infant churches. Just as Jesus had given to Peter the charge to be shepherd of His sheep, so congregations entrusted themselves to "overseers": "bishops." "Pappas," such men were called: affectionate Greek for "father." Immersed as they were in the day-to-day running of their bishoprics, such men could hardly afford to stake all their trust in extravagant visions of apocalypse. Though they remained passionate in their hope of beholding Christ's return in glory, they also had a responsibility to care for their flocks in the present. Quite as much as any pagan, many came to realise, they had good cause to appreciate the pax Romana.
Nor was justification for this perspective entirely lacking in Holy Scripture. St. Paul -- although martyred, as St. Peter had been, in Rome -- had advised the Church there, before his execution, that the structures of governance, even those of the very pagan empire itself, had been "instituted by God."8 Indeed, it struck many students of the apostle that the Caesars had a more than incidental role to play in his vision of the end of days. Whereas St. John had portrayed Rome as complicit with the Beast, that demon in human form who was destined, just before Christ's return, to establish a tyranny of universal evil, seducing men and women everywhere by means of spectacular miracles, chilling their souls and dimming the Church beneath a tide of blood, Paul, it seemed, had cast the empire as precisely the opposite: the one bulwark capable of "restraining" Antichrist.9 Yet such an interpretation did not entirely clear up the ambivalence with which most Christians still regarded Rome, and the prospect of her fall: for if the reign of Antichrist was self-evidently to be dreaded, then so also might it be welcomed, as heralding Christ's return. "But of that or that hour," as Jesus Himself had admonished His disciples, "no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."10 That being so, many Church fathers concluded, it could hardly be reckoned a sin to hold Rome's empire in their prayers.
For redeemed though they hoped to be, even the devoutest Christians were sinners still, fallen and fashioned out of dust. Until a new heaven and a new earth had been established upon the ruins of the old, and a new Jerusalem descended "out of heaven from God,"11 the Church had no choice but to accommodate itself to the rule of a worldly power. Laws still had to be administered, cities governed, order preserved. Enemies of that order, lurking in dank and distant forests, or amid the sands of pitiless deserts, still had to be kept at bay. As the fourth century of the Christian era dawned, followers of the Prince of Peace were to be found even among the ranks of Caesar's soldiers.12 Later ages would preserve the memory of Maurice, an Egyptian general stationed at the small town of Agaunum, in the Alps, who had commanded a legion entirely comprising of the faithful. Ordered to put to the sword a village of innocent fellow Christians, he had refused. And yet, as Maurice himself had made perfectly clear to the infuriated emperor, he would have found in an order to attack pagan enemies no cause for mutiny. "We are your soldiers, yes," he was said to have explained, "but we are also the soldiers of God. To you, we owe the dues of military service -- but to Him the purity of our souls."13
The emperor, however, had remained toweringly unimpressed. He had ordered the mutineers' execution. And so it was that Maurice and the entire legion under his command had won their martyrs' crowns.
Ultimately, it seemed, obedience to both Christ and Caesar could not be reconciled.
A New Rome
But what if Caesar himself were a servant of Christ? Barely a decade after Maurice's martyrdom, and even as persecution of the Church rose to fresh heights of ferocity, the hand of God was preparing to manifest itself in a wholly unexpected way. In ad 312 a pretender to the imperial title by the name of Constantine marched from Gaul -- what is now France -- across the Alps, and on towards Rome. The odds seemed stacked against him. Not only was he heavily outnumbered, but his enemies had already taken possession of the capital. One noon, however, looking to the heavens for inspiration, Constantine saw there the blazing of a cross, visible to his whole army, and inscribed with the words, "By this sign, conquer." That night, in his tent, he was visited by Christ Himself. Again came the instruction: "By this sign, conquer." Constantine, waking at dawn, obeyed. He gave orders for the "heavenly sign of God" to be inscribed upon his soldiers' shields.14 When battle was finally joined outside Rome, Constantine was victorious. Entering the capital, he did not forget to whom he had owed his triumph. Turning his back on a whole millennium of tradition, he offered up no sacrifices to those demons whom the Caesars, in their folly and their blindness, had always worshipped as gods. Instead, the dominion of the Roman people was set upon a radically new path, one which God had clearly long been planning for it, to serve Him as the tool and agent of His grace, as an imperium christianum -- a Christian empire.
"And because Constantine made no supplications to evil spirits, but worshipped only the one true God, he enjoyed a life more favoured by marks of worldly prosperity than anyone would have dared imagine was possible."15 Certainly, it was hard for anyone to dispute that his reign had indeed been divinely blessed. In all, Constantine ruled for thirty-one years: only a decade less than the man who had first established his fiat over Rome and her empire, Caesar Augustus. It was during the reign of Augustus that Jesus had been born into the world; and now, under Constantine, so it seemed to his Christian subjects, the times were renewing themselves again. In Jerusalem, earth and rubbish were cleared from the tomb in which Christ had been laid. A Church of the Holy Sepulchre, "surpassing all the churches of the world in beauty," was raised above it, and over Golgotha, the hill of the crucifixion.16 Simultaneously, on the shores of the Bosphorus, what had formerly been the pagan city of Byzantium was redeveloped to serve the empire as a Christian capital. Constantine himself, it was said, marking out the street plan of his foundation with a spear, had been guided by the figure of Christ walking before him. Never again would pagan temples be built on Byzantine soil. No palls of smoke greasy with sacrifice would ever drift above the spreading streets. Graced with the splendid title of "the New Rome," the capital would provide the first Christian emperor with the most enduring of all his memorials. Ever after, the Romans would know it as "the City of Constantine" -- Constantinople.
A seat of empire, to be sure -- but hardly a monument to Christian humility. The leaders of the Church were unperturbed. Scarcely able as they were to credit the miracle that had transformed them so unexpectedly from a persecuted minority into an imperial elite, they raised few eyebrows at the spectacle of their emperor's magnificence. Since, as St. John had seen in his vision, the New Jerusalem would not be descending to earth until the very end of days, it struck most of them as a waste of time to preach revolution. Far more meritorious, the world's fallen state being what it was, to labour at the task of redeeming it from chaos. It was order, not egalitarianism, that the mirror of heaven showed back to earth.
What were the saints, the angels and the archangels if not the very model of a court, ranked in an exquisite hierarchy amid the pomp of the World Beyond, with Christ Himself, victorious in His great battle over death and darkness, presiding over them, and over the monarchy of the universe, in a blaze of celestial light? A Christian emperor, ruling as the sponsor and protector of the Church, could serve not merely as Christ's ally in the great war against evil, but as His representative on earth, "directing, in imitation of God Himself, the administration of this world's affairs."17 In the bejewelled and perfumed splendours of Constantinople might be glimpsed a reflection of the beauties of paradise; in the armies that marched to war against the foes of the Christian order an image of the angelic hosts. What had once been the very proofs of the empire's depravity -- its wealth, its splendour, its terrifying military might -- now seemed to mark it out as a replica of heaven.
Naturally, the Christ to whom Constantine and his successors compared themselves bore little resemblance to the Jesus who had died in excruciating and blood-streaked agony upon a rough-hewn cross. Indeed, whether in the meditations of theologians or in the mosaics of artisans, He began to resemble nothing so much as a Roman emperor. Whereas the faithful had once looked to their Messiah to sit in awful judgement over Rome, now bishops publicly implored Him to turn His "heavenly weapons" against the enemies of the empire, "so that the peace of the Church might be untroubled by storms of war."18 By the fifth Christian century, prayers such as these were turning shrill and desperate -- for increasingly, the storms of war appeared to be darkening all the world. Savages from the barbarous wilds beyond the Christian order, no longer content to respect the frontiers that had for so long been circumscribed by Roman might, were starting to sweep across the empire, threatening to despoil it of its fairest territories, and to dismember a dominion only lately consecrated to the service of God. Was this the end of days come at last? Christians might have been forgiven for thinking so. In ad 410, Rome herself was sacked, and men cried out, just as St. John had foreseen that they would, "'Alas, alas for the great city!'"19 Still waves of migrants continued to flood through the breached frontiers, into Gaul and Britain, Spain and Africa, the Balkans and Italy; and this too, it struck many, St. John had prophesied. For the end time, he had written, would see Satan gather to himself nations from the far ends of the world; and their numbers would be like "the sand of the sea."20 And their names, St. John had written, would be Gog and Magog.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this history. Although I knew some of the period's highlights, Mr. Holland did an excellent job in tying together all the disparate, yet interrelated trends of that era.
I originally read The Forge of Christianity when I saw it displayed at the public library. I have a special interest in this time period and thought it might be a good read. It was not only a "good read" I learned so many things about that time period, that I wanted to buy a copy so that I could reread it and note the pages that were of particular interest, something that can't be done with a public library book. I read Hollands other two books and I again, learned a great deal about subjects that I didn't know as much about. The author is definitely a scholar who researches his material thoroughly. I am glad that I saw the display at the public library of The Forge of Christianity, and that I read it, and I that could buy a copy. Barnes and Nobles did not have it in stock but they quickly ordered the book for me. I suggested they get more copies of the book because I will recommend the book to friends.

Please Help... My Motorola turns on and turns back off!!
So at school i was charging my phone on the PC there. All of a sudden my phone turns off. I try to turn it back on and it does turn on. It shows the Motorola logo for a few seconds and turns back off. I went home that day and used by default charger and charged it. It showed the green light. The phone turned on and did the same thing, it shows the Motorola logo for a few seconds and turns back off and if i leave it the process repeats. The green light also flashes a few times. When i press both the volume up and down at the same time, it shows options to either normal powerup, recovery, fastboot, factory and tools. I tried normal powerup, recovery and factory but it would just turn on showing the motorola logo for a few seconds and turn back of.When i unplug the phone and try to turn it on, it wont work. Please help, its not the battery by the way.
Re: Please Help... My Motorola turns on and turns back off!!
Welcome to the forums.
Try going back into the fastboot screen (the one you were in with all the choices) select recovery. You should get a no command message. Try pressing power and clicking volume up once like you are increasing the volume of your music by one tick. That should get you into recovery. You can then choose between clearing cache or a factory reset. In this case, I would opt for the reset.

"Buridan's Ass" comes to mind as citizens ponder what to think and what to favor in the Syrian civil war. Look it up: this is the dilemma of Buridan's ass (named after philosopher John Buridan). Poised equidistantly between two equally attractive bales of hay, the animal had no reason to choose one bale over the other. Unable to decide, he starved.


text: In mathematics, the phrase "almost all" has a number of specialised uses which extend its intuitive meaning."Almost all" is sometimes used synonymously with "all but [except] finitely many" (formally, a cofinite set) or "all but a countable set" (formally, a cocountable set); see almost.A simple example is that almost all prime numbers are odd, which is based on the fact that all but one prime number are odd. (The exception is the number 2, which is prime but not odd.)When speaking about the reals, sometimes it means "all reals but a set of Lebesgue measure zero" (formally, almost everywhere). In this sense almost all reals are not a member of the Cantor set even though the Cantor set is uncountable.More generally, "almost all" is sometimes used in the sense of "almost everywhere" in measure theory, or in the closely related sense of "almost surely" in probability theory.In number theory, if P(n) is a property of positive integers, and if p(N) denotes the number of positive integers n less than N for which P(n) holds, and if(see limit), then we say that "P(n) holds for almost all positive integers n" (formally, asymptotically almost surely) and writeFor example, the prime number theorem states that the number of prime numbers less than or equal to N is asymptotically equal to N/ln N. Therefore, the proportion of prime integers is roughly 1/ln N, which tends to 0. Thus, almost all positive integers are composite (not prime), however there are still an infinite number of primes.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Buckeye49 Gerber Big Rock Camp Knife - Best ALL-AROUND for the $ I like my Gerber knives; and I have lots of them, and Buck, and Ka-Bar and many other name brands. I do note that the Big Rock is not made in the USA. HOWEVER, I took a chance and bought one of these in the plain edge. The knife is worth every penny spent. Yes, some will compalin about the ugly nylon sheah. But, hey, the sheath works and I didn't by the knife because I wanted the sheath, I bought the kife because I wanted a GOOD, all around depenable knife that has a GREAT edge and holds up to abouse. Well, I liked the plain edge so much I also bougth a Big Rock Camp Knife with the serrated edge, so I would have one to cut easily through plastic or seat belts in an emergency. Recently I got my plaion edged one out to use it. I remember how much I like it and that maybe some day I would no longer be able to find it again, so, I just ordered another one. What more can I say? The blade is very, very sharp out of the box and holds a good edge. The rubbery grippy handle is great, although thin, but the feel in your hand is good and it won't slip. The knife can be ussed for a variety of regular camp tasks, batoning, slicign, fish skinning, animal skinning, and etc. If you want a good fixed-blade knife and are on a budget; don't even think twice; buy this knife, you WILL be happy you did. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Buck Field tested Bought this knife several years ago. It's well balanced and feels good in your hand. I carry this knife hunting and fishing, and have dressed out several deer. A great buy at a great price, works better than other knives at 3 times its cost. October 15, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by The Knife Expert stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The knife was horrible broke after ten days. Don't buy it!!! September 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by Last, Best Hope for Humanity. My favorite knife. Bought this 2 years ago. Feels great in my hand, great weight, nice and sharp. I like a knife I can throw and use more practically. This holds up for both. I've [*] and tore up the rubber handle and took tiny chips out of the blade, but this was after 2 years of serious use. This is a gem for the amount of abuse it can withstand for such a cheap price.Gerber is my go to. Their products have never let me down. June 13, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by DragonJW Dependable, Sharp all purpose knife I've had the Big Rock Camp knife for about 5 years now with constant use on lengthy backpacking trips in PA and NY. I have used this knife in every fashion possible from cutting material such as rope cloth and food, to batoning firewood and primitive bushcraft. i couldn't kill this knife if i tried. it still has the razor sharp edge from when i received it. without a doubt the best knife i have in my vast collection. April 4, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cam the Backpacker Big Performance First off, you can't find a better knife for the price. This is a well balanced knife, in both capability and weight. It's full tang and definitely not flimsy or thin like some other blades can be. Sharpens easy, stays sharp, the grip stays excellent even in wet conditions, and the proportion of serration to straight blade allows for decent use of both parts of the blade. It's a great camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing knife and has been with me all up and down the AT and I've never had to worry about equipment failure. It's strong enough to cut down small branches yet sharp and precise enough to cook with at the site. The knife isn't too good to be true though, there is one significant setback. The sheath on this knife is a hindrance and due to its floppiness and lack of a lashing hole on the bottom. The sheath does, however, secure the knife well with a crossover strap. All in all, you'd be crazy not to buy this knife if you're looking for a reliable fixed blade. March 29, 2011

3.3 Arcane - points Arcane Stability?
Noticed that Kyth and Stalah have 3/5 Arcane Stability while Jarlyn and Inza are 4/5 into this talent.
Was curious to hear the reasoning behind it? Is it because of the amount of hit we can current find ourselves easily swimming in? Marrowgar is the only ICC fight I've noticed pushback on so far.
Does the pushback reduction on one ICC fight outweigh the mana savings from Arcane Focus?
Thanks in advance.
Offtopic: Jarlyn do you still raid on your mage as your main or the pally?

The few "easy mode" fights out right now couple probably be done as 0/0/0. As far as arcane spec the whole tree still has a TON of bloat. Most arcane talent points are obvious picks why you would want them but we cant always get them all. The bloat in the arcane tree with so many "Have to get talents" and a bunch of and then a bunch of "good situational or good survivability" talents causes a high variability in how about 3-5 talent points are spent.
Specifically addressing tier 1 arcane talents was actually talking with kyth about her spec this last week (which she had 4/5 earlier in the week). To get 0 push back (with conc aura) you need 4/5 arcane stability as 3/5 will only put you at 95%. How many fights does this matter though? The fights that will cause push back, is it enough to out weigh spending a point somewhere else?
Arcane Subtlety is a talent most mages take 2/2 or 0/2 on (and I may even be 2/2 atm I forget), but taking one point here vs two still gives you 20% threat reduction which 2x better than fire for half the points and allows you to spend this point somewhere else. Take 0/2 makes it too likely you will have to stop or slow dps at some point which is a very large dps loss.
Arcane Focus - to me whether I take this or not, and how many points is somewhat gear related but also based on what points I "need" in the above 2 talents. With ICC gear and our Ashen Verdict rep ring giving so much hit it is still very easy to hit cap with 0 points in this talent making it just a 1-3% mana savings. If its just down to mana to this minuscule mana savings for most fights will not translate to any extra dps
Then after tier 1 there are so many more situational talents that spending more than 5 points in tier 1 is often very hard to justify. Talents like magic absorption, Incanters absorption, magic attunement (although I consider this required points 98% of the time), arcane mind (often the good place to drop points from as far as dps talents if you need to pick up other situational talents), and some even drop arcane barrage.
When hard modes are out and specs matter much more you will see all of us (except jarlyn who plays pally) change specs pretty often to account for some of these variables for each individual fight during progression.
**typed quick on way out door, likely a mistake or two
I switched to my paladin (Philcolins) a few months ago. I play the mage for alt raids and such now, but I haven't looked at Jarlyn's specs pretty much since I main-switched. Don't use his specs as an example of anything except how lazy I am about my alts.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this topic. Will take this into account when I respec this week.

Before blizzard nerfed raidwall, they were subspec'd in prot and had fewer spare points so only one of them had imp CA and I didn't want to make my spec rely on which paladin was logged in, raiding that boss, and happened to be running CA.
Due to how AM works, 95% is as bad as 80%. Pushback makes you lose a tick either way.
I actually run with 3/3 Imp Conc all the time now, have since shortly after I switched
12-22-2009, 07:24 AM #7Kyth Guest
But as I said in my post, it requires you:
(a) online,
(b) in the raid for that boss, and
(c) running CA
Now (c) may be a given if (a) and (b) are both true, but they are not guaranteed to be true.
Given that you all have at least 1/3, mages can go 3/5 which is fucking awesome.
12-22-2009, 02:28 PM #9Kyth Guest
I noticed that you changed your spec to 0/5 Stability. Was that to test something or has something changed?
EDIT: This question is directed at Kyth.I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.

Sudbury Valley School - "It upends your views about what school is for, why it has to cost as much as it does, and whether our current model makes any sense at all. But what's most amazing about the school, a claim the founders make which was backed up by my brief observations, my conversations with students, and the written recollections of alumni, is that the school has taken the angst out of education. Students like going there, and they like their teachers. Because they are never made to take a class they don't like, they don't rue learning. They don't hate homework because they don't have homework. School causes no fights with their parents." (previously-er) [more inside]

The Course of Their Lives. While much in medicine has changed over the last century, the defining course of a first year medical student's education is still 'Gross Anatomy.' This is their hands-on tour of a donated cadaver -- an actual human body -- and is an experience which cannot be replicated by computer models. When Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Mark Johnson came up with the idea of following a med school gross anatomy class for a feature story, his editor challenged him to make it different. So he chose to intertwine the students' stories with that of Geraldine 'Nana' Fotsch, a living future donor, as sort of a stand-in for the cadaver. (Via.

teacher freakout!
There are goofy news items every day, but once in a while you have some story that transcends them all. Teacher accused of ordering student thrown from window is quite possibly the silliest story I've seen this year. It's beyond the Onion. Teacher enters class and takes photo of students, one student objects, teacher makes a disparaging remark about the way the student looks and student hits an emergency button, then the teacher orders two boys to throw her out the window (where she suffered injuries). Best line about the boys "they threw the girl out the window because they did not want to be written up for disobeying a teacher."
Hey! A thirteen year-old kid gets suspended for three days for using a DOS command to send a one-word message to all 80 computers on his school's network. Even more charming is that the computer teacher of his school apparently doesn't know much about the computicatin' machines.

Does being valedictorian still matter? A New Jersey high school student with top grades and a 1570 SAT score is suing her school (including a $2.5 million punitive damages demand) for deciding to make her one of three "co-valedictorians." Considering that valedictorian is an award given well after college acceptance letters are sent out, is the title actually relevant in the American education system? Has anyone here actually gained something (other than pride) via the highest GPA in their class?

High Flying Thank You for Cadet Connor
Topic: News Region: All regions
After an astounding six year cadet career, Cadet Warrant Officer Connor Williams got to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly in a Hawk T2.
Originally joining 275 (Nantyglo and Blaina) Squadron in September 2009, Connor has attended RIAT, UK and overseas camps, gained his Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, Regional Marksman, Communicators badge, BTECs, the Sports Leader Award and even completed the Nijmegen March in 2012.
Because of his achievements and commitment to the RAF Air Cadets, Flight Lieutenant Paul Maitland, Commanding Officer of 275 decided to arrange something a bit special for him as a thank you for his hard work and the excellent examples that he has set for others.
After an email to the Air Careers Liaison Officer Flight Lieutenant Al Spence at RAF Valley, the Station Commander approved a passenger flight for Connor in the Hawk T2, a fully aerobatic, low wing, transonic, 2-seat training aircraft that is used to train pilots for the Tornado GR4, Typhoon and Lightning II.
Travelling to RAF Valley in Anglesey, Connor was kitted out with a flying suit and helmet, he had to pass a medical with an RAF doctor and attend a safety briefing, before experiencing a fantastic 40 minute flight in a Hawk T2 through the Mid-Wales Mountains to include two circuits of the famous Mach Loop.
Connor turns 20 in June and plans on remaining at the squadron as a Civilian Instructor.
Does your squadron have a story you'd like us to feature? Send the details, plus any quotes and photos to email@example.com?

Carl Swenson//33//Nordic Skier and Mountain Biker
When last September's Mountain Biking World Championships ended in Lugano, Switzerland, five-time U.S. national-team member Swenson put his Tomac bike in storage, broke out his Fischer cross-country skis, and joined his teammates on the U.S. national nordic squad for the winter. His results speak to the effectiveness of split-personality endeavors. At the 2003 World Cross Country Ski Championships, he placed fifth, the third-best result in U.S. men's history.
"My cycling teammates always say, 'I can't believe you're gonna race skis all winter,' " he says. "But it's actually an advantage. I get really motivated by the dramatic improvements in strength I see when I get on the skis or bike after having been off them for a long time. If you're just doing the same sport the whole year, it can feel like you're never going to get any better at it."
