It's already known that sex causes the neurotransmitters dopamine and oxytocin to be released in the brain. But a recent study has shown that sex can epigenetically modify the DNA in the brain in a way that facilitates pair bonding. The Cellular Scale has an article over at The Toast today telling you all about it.Check it out: The Virgin BrainWang H, Duclot F, Liu Y, Wang Z, & Kabbaj M (2013). Histone deacetylase inhibitors facilitate partner preference formation in female prairie voles. Na........ Read more »

This new technique is just too cool not to blog about. Novak et al. 2013 Figure 1A pre-synaptic patch clampThe synapse is the connection between two neurons. The pre-synaptic part is from the neuron sending a signal and the post-synaptic part is from the neuron receiving the signal. If you want to learn about the connection between the two neurons, you want to know what is happening on both sides of the synapse. It's relatively easy to record signals from the post-synaptic side using patch........ Read more »

Let's talk about Aristotle for a minute.School of Athens Aristotle is the one in blue.Many people mis-attribute this quote to him:"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act, but a habit." -Will DurantBut really this quote is from someone summarizing Aristotle. It's a great summary and it seems to say what Aristotle means, just more concisely. Aristotle does say:"For these reasons the virtues are not capacities either; for we are neither called good nor called bad, nor are ........ Read more »

When you are pregnant, people like to tell you all sorts of things about yourself.probably the most complimentary thing I have been compared to."you are going to have a boy/girl""you are carrying high/low""you look like an olive on a toothpick/beached whale""you probably have some of your husband's DNA/baby's cells in your brain now."huh?That last one requires a little more explanation.

Synapses, the connections between neurons can strengthen and weaken depending on the specific activity at that synapse. This is called synaptic plasticity, and we've talked about it a lot on this blog (here, here, here and here).the strengthening and weakening of synaptic connections corresponds to the spine growing or shrinking (Matsuzaki 2007)However, there is another kind of plasticity that can occur at synapses. This is called homeostatic plasticity. And instead of the synapse strengthening ........ Read more »

Escape from Camp 14 is deeply disturbing, and I highly recommend it. Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine HardenEscape from Camp 14 is a chilling tale of Shin Dong-hyuk's escape from a North Korean prison camp. What is so interesting about Shin Dong-hyuk's story as written by Blaine Harden is that he was born inside this North Korean prison camp. Apparently they allow breeding between prisoners as a reward for 'good behavior.'Escape from Camp 14 reveals the obscene violations of human rights that occur........ Read more »

We've recently discussed dopamine as a reward prediction signal. But that is really just the start of the complicated dopamine story. Dopamine's role in reward and punishment (by the hiking artist)Some research groups have also found that dopamine neurons respond to aversive stimuli, like an air puff to the face or an electric shock.

i feel like he's kind of forced to play olb in there 3-4 and de when there in a 4-3, mayo and spikes are purely inside backers in my opinion.[/quote]
This is my guess.
Base 4-3 = Mayo at WLB, Spikes at MLB, Hightower at SLB
Nickel = Mayo at WLB, Spikes at MLB, Hightower at DE
3-4 Spikes and Mayo inside, Hightower at OLB.
I think the patriots play a lot of 50 front too, and Hightower as the up LB actually fits really well there

I am making hives right now for my new bees that I will be getting soon and was wandering if it is worthwhile to make screened bottom boards. Does it really cut down on the mite population?
I am making hives right now for my new bees that I will be getting soon and was wandering if it is worthwhile to make screened bottom boards. Does it really cut down on the mite population?
I recall having heard it hasn't been scientifically shown to reduce mites significantly. They are useful for counting mites too. It is useful for ventilation and I'd think you would want one for summer.
I don't use them. Well, I have one, and am going to use it just because it was given to me and I want some experience with an 8-frame hive. But for the most part, I don't use them. I don't believe them to be necessary. No hive in the wild other than ones lucky enough to be hanging from a tree have open bottoms.
Since the title is "Bottom Board or not?", before I read the OP I thought that the title was what trhis was about and said to myself, "Yeah, if you go w/ top entrances, what do you need a bottom board for?". But, I guess that's another Thread.
Mark Berninghausen
I have about half and half. I've started buying only solid bottoms so I can convert them to feeders. I don't see any difference in Varroa between them.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I have used both. I like the fully screened for the ventilation and mite count aspect-but what to do in the cold weather? I block it in all around on a insulated bench.
A half and half solid and screen would also be nice. Ventlation without too much cold air.
(Here are some mini nucs shown for example)
Heres what I came up to try this year:
Open for hotter summer months(Of course full sized hives would be sitting on a bench and not so exposed)If you leave enough room under the hive you can Take a mirror and flashlight so check for swarm cells!
Fully screened with perforated masonite insert for early spring/late fall
Foam board insert for mite checks or colder months:
Easy to change and versatile .
Thought you might like to see this photo, a wild hive in a bird box. But note the grass and stuff on the bottom. Might be a good way to put bees to bed for winter if you can keep the mice out.(Straw, leaves, etc)

They say every dog has its day, but soon they will actually have their own month! The Association for Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) has proclaimed January to be National Train Your Dog Month. This new annual event promotes the benefits of socialization and positive training, which include enhanced and healthier relationships between people and dogs. January is the perfect month for emphasizing training because it is a time for new goals and because so many dogs have just joined new families over the holidays.
Karen B. London, PhD, is a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist and Certified Professional Dog Trainer whose clinical work over the last 17 years has focused on the evaluation and treatment of serious behavioral problems in dogs, especially aggression. Karen has been writing the behavior column for The Bark since 2012 and wrote The Bark's training column and various other articles for eight years before that. She is an adjunct professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University, and teaches a tropical field biology course in Costa Rica. Karen writes an animal column, The London Zoo, which appear in The Arizona Daily Sun and is the author of five books on canine training and behavior.

So far I think this kid has played great. It also bodes well for him that Rolle said he didn't miss a beat the entire time he was filling in for KP....something most rookies would do. I was expecting him to get torched a few times but I don't think his name was called out at all.
What are your expectations for him for the rest of this year and do you think if he does extraordinarily well we'll eventually let KP walk?

Permanent Link: [Article]-Serenity Hack - Answers & Winners
Before I thank Mr. Matthew Carpenter for his excellent work, let me thank the EH-Net members and readers for being patient. Between our regular work duties, a trip to Vegas for Black Hat and DefCon, and organizing our inaugural effort, ChicagoCon, we were all a little behind schedule. Now that Matt's first venture in challenge land is complete, he now has a good idea of what Ed and the Intelguardians crew go through on a regular basis. It's truly not an easy task to go through all of those entries and pick winners, but pick them he has.
And now for the bad news... Ed is one tired puppy. So we are going to take a break for a little while. Only a month or so to give Ed an opportunity to catch up on his own life. So I guess we'll all have to be on our best behavior as we give the Intelguardians a well deserved rest after more than a year of new challenges. But I'm not sure Ed knows how to do that as he asks (hint for the next challenge), "I'm scared Don, will I dream?"

We had a perfect stay at Tiagos Apartment "Wasabi Yellow". The Location is perfect, were central and easy to find. You can walk to almost everything, even if Lisbon is very hilly.
The Apartment is very nice, comfortabel, modern and clean. And we had everything we needed. The communication and check-in/check-out was very easy and uncomplicated.
Because of the Location in the old town, parking isn't that easy...
I would recommend the apartment at any time and would love to stay again there!
All right. Very good ubiación, all by hand. Recommended.
Todo bien. Muy buena ubiación, todo a mano. Recomendable.
We were friends for a few days to Lisbon and the truth that the apartment is great, with all amenities, just what we were looking for. Tiago is a great host, very friendly and gave us committed to ensuring that we were comfortable. We would definitely return there.
fuimos unos amigos a pasar unos días a Lisboa y la verdad que el apartamento está genial, con todas las comodidades, justo lo que estábamos buscando. Tiago es un anfitrión estupendo, muy amable y nos dio muchas facilidades para que estuviéramos a gusto. sin duda, volveríamos ahí.

Ce fut un très bon séjour, encore merci pour cet accueil très chaleureux . Je conseille vivement cet hôte qui est très compréhensif, sociable et agréable .L' appartement est merveilleux, très cosy, lumineux, pratique, où il est bon d'y vivre.
The appartement is very well located and there are many shops nearby. However there is no heating available and the temperature in the rooms after 6pm was too low, the towels could not dry up in the bathroom and there is no bed in the living room but only a sofa with is not a true bed. So for the warmer seasons this location is good and there is a nice view
We moved 3 times in the department apartment and we were there was no internet in the apartment Mallorie sites. Nor was cable TV. Very good deal and very convenient and very correct apartment.
Nos cambiaron 3 veces de apartamento y en el partamento que estuvimos no habia internet en la malloria de sitios del apartamento. Tampoco habia television por cable. El trato muy bueno y el apartamento muy bien situado y muy correcto.
We were 3 people for a week, no problems. The apartment is in an excellent location in the center of Lisbon, one minute everything. Apartment refurbished, comfortable beds, heating, hot water and all in perfect condition.
Highly recommended
Estuvimos 3 personas durante una semana, ningún tipo de problema. El apartamento está en una excelente localización, en el mismo centro de Lisboa, a un minuto de todo. Apartamento rehabilitado, las camas cómodas, calefacción, agua caliente y todo en perfecto estado.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by kjcmeb, Jan 22, 2013.
Talks about Garrett play calling (not a big deal since he'll know what is going on anyway), Kiffin (big reason for his expectations and the quality of coaches that want to come with him), Romo (the guy that he wants as his QB).
another 8-8 season thanks jerry
Yes Jerry also poisons the very water we drink. He also tortures Kittens
What a bad man.....Jerry is the blame for all that is wrong in the world, what's sad is you can already predict our failure.
Hopefully you keep that stance if by chance you are wrong.
I bet that Romo statement really grinds some gears around here.
Boy I love me some Jerry...Socks to Jocks Baby! He has to be one of the slickest guys I have ever watched in action. Imagine if you could be mentored by him personally, plenty of cash would be made. I think we are on the right track, we need 1 ol and 1 dl to become starters from this draft. The 1st 3 picks have to be ol and dl, after that rb and safety.
Said that it was his insistance that Jason call plays as HC and that Jason was never dead set on calling the plays.
Times have changed? It's more complicated? So what. Can he not handle it now?
Mentions anything that moves responsibility from Jason in terms of calling a play or putting a game plan together and gives it to the overall team is a positive thing. Talks about Jason being in favor of the move and is encouraging the move.
In response to a question from Mayock about deciding to retain Jason and/or coordinators he talks about how the team has put together some impressive things, "foundations, base, that we can build from" so don't assume changes means the team is throwing all the water out. But, the problem is 8-8.
Talks about the league being built to be 8-8 so teams have to "break out" somehow in order to get out of the ditch.
Mayock asks what Monte brings. "Rich, rich enthusiasm and energy". Talks about the scouts having gone to a USC practice when they were down there and the scouts came back and raved about Monte's energy.
Asked about Romo (can't remember guys name) and talks about it starting with the QB. Asks what the next step is for the offense to build on the talents of Romo. Says he's proud Jason has been coaching Romo for the last 6 years. Glad he isn't starting over in that regard. Then says this:
Perhaps this is what the uncomfortable is all about. Jerry says he'd be uncomfortable if it were Garrett (obviously meant if it were not) but previously says it's a good thing if Jason delegates all these responsibilities to the rest of the team. Essentially, he's uncomfortable if it's not Garrett but it's also a good thing that it won't be Garrett because he's delegating to the rest of the team.
Tony talk. Tony is on the same page and is naturally a glass half full guy so he's jacked about the changes being made.
Little comedy from Jerry talking about Romo getting criticized,
They finish up and thank Jerry for always being so "generous" with his time. Jerry has a few closing words that talks about the Senior Bowl relative to the NFL Network (making sure to mention he's the chairman......not sure of which one he is referring to but he got that tid bit in there) and says that staying at home is the best way to really evaluate these players out there......half-hearted smile and camera point in full effect.
You have to read Jerryspeak...complicated means its not working like he thought the first time. To him, (and Jerry's thought process is all about Jerry) that means its now complicated.
Keep it up Jerry...Johnny Football, Kevin Sumlin!!!
God bless anyone who can sit through that nonsense.
With you on that. I gave up listening to him entirely.
I'm trying... Eyes are watering... I think my ears are bleeding. It's not worth it. I give up.
sideshow Jerrah from now on. Sideshow Bob's billionaire bumpkin cousin.
What's funny is how all the people who hate to listen to jones talk are on this thread.why even open the thread to begin with? Ill don't understand that.
Cause the team is getting shook up and maybe they want to see if they can get an idea of where it's going?
No OC yet, plenty of other stuff up in the air.
He's the chairman! What a freakin blowhard. If he loves Romo so much WHY do you feed him to the lions EVERY year....'Mr. Chairman'.
Look, I know Jerry played college football. But I'm telling you, when I hear this guy talk about football I would never guess that he played.
For example, I've listened to Jerry talk football now (like a lot of you) since 1989. I've watched his entire run as owner, president, gm, etc.
The #1 thing he talks about when it comes to coaches is enthusiasm. If I've heard him talk about passion and enthusiasm once, I've heard him say it a thousand times.
Now, I'm not against enthusiasm. But enthusiasm alone doesn't make a great football coach (cue Campo). "Rich, rich, (I don't remember the exact word he used to describe Kiffen but it amounted to) enthusiasm". Unreal.
He goes on and on about 8-8 like we have had 2 seasons of problems. We have had 16 seasons of problems. We have had problems ever since Johnson left. Even when we won with Switzer it was by the skin of our teeth on the power of the work done in 1990-1993.
Until the guy is willing to look in the mirror and recognize that he is THE MAJOR thing that is wrong with the Cowboys (from a football perspective), any change will be short term. Just my 2 cents.
Some things that stood out to me:
Jerry Summary #1: He wanted Garrett to call the plays when he hired him because of Joe Gibbs's advice. Garrett was for it. He now wants Garrett to not call plays because all of the people he recently consulted said he shouldn't. Garrett is for it.
Jerry Summary #2: Garret's big plus is the continuity with Romo. Glad they aren't having to start over there. Wouldn't be anywhere near as comfortable if they had to start over there.
Summary of a Funny jab: Jerry said to show him how he could just pick a QB up better than Romo today, just take one home with him (pointed at the practice behind him). Mayock responded to him that in last years draft they did.
#2 was pretty telling for me. Seems like having Romo gives Garrett a lot of rope in Jerry's eyes. Big reason why his staff is being rebuilt around him but he is staying imo.

This story was originally published in the May 19, 1995 issue of the Boston Phoenix
It wasn't the first time members of the Congressional Black Caucus had heard – and done nothing about – Sudan's dirty secret. Even before a recent House international-relations subcommittee hearing on human-rights violations in Sudan, they knew that kidnapping and slavery had become a barbarous byproduct of Sudan's bloody holy war.
Reports from escaped slaves, exiles, and human-rights activists have documented, in the past few years, a disturbing demographic feature not found in any Central Africa travel guide: the going rate for black child slaves is between $15 and $200, depending on physical condition and the region in which their Arab Muslim masters buy them. Sometimes they're branded. Sometimes they're traded for chickens or given as gifts.
But some influential Muslim leaders in the US dismiss the stories of slavery as fiction. And that's why, critics say, the Caucus has been reluctant to speak out. Still, as Black Caucus members remain mum, accounts of Sudan's slavery continue to emerge.
For instance, two recent reports, one by the State Department and another by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, have informed US leaders how the Sudanese militia conducts its notorious sweeps of black Christian areas in the south and Nuba Mountain region. Women and children are kidnapped and brought north, where they are sold or given away, the reports state. Many captives are used in the fields by day, and in their masters' beds at night.
And when the Reverend Macram Max Gassis, an exiled Catholic bishop from Sudan, testified before the international-relations subcommittee on Africa last March, he gave House members what was perhaps the most vivid and compelling account they had yet heard.
"I was personally instrumental in the liberation of over 50 children who were abducted by the regime," he said solemnly, citing a litany of recently documented instances of slavery.
At least two Black Caucus members, New Jersey Democrat Donald Payne (who is also chairman of the Caucus) and Florida Democrat Alcee Hastings, listened as the bishop pleaded with them to initiate something: an arms and oil embargo, economic sanctions, a UN resolution. Something.
"How can the international community tolerate this?" he asked. "How can your committee be satisfied to do nothing other than review, annually, the horrific reports that come regularly…about the situation in Sudan?"
It was an appeal that the human-rights activists who brought Gassis to the hearing had hoped would resonate deeply with the legislators. At the very least, they hoped, it would set off an alarm among Black Caucus members. Who would be better to voice moral outrage about Sudanese servitude, they thought, than the descendants of American slaves?
Fear of Muslim groups?
But the most noticeable silence after the hearing came from those same Black Caucus members, who did not so much as issue a press release. And now, under fire from human-rights activists and a growing number of African-American journalists, Black Caucus members are squirming.
Payne's foreign-affairs advisor, Frank Kiehne, offers this explanation for the chairman's inaction: "We have limited resources. We're stretched 15 different ways. We can't solve every problem in the world. It doesn't mean we're not concerned."

Detroit Blight Authority steps aside in demolition efforts
The Detroit Blight Authority will no longer focus on structural blight removal in the city at the request of Detroit officials, the founder and chairman of the nonprofit said this morning.
Bill Pulte said the organization will focus instead on nonstructural blight removal and that a $700,000 to $900,000 plan to demolish at least 117 blighted buildings in northwest Detroit's Brightmoor neighborhood will continue if the city of Detroit further pursues the two-phase project, which is about 75 percent complete.
"Everything is pretty well teed up" for the city to complete the project, he said.
Pulte said he will turn his focus to blight removal efforts in Oakland County cities like Pontiac as well as out of state in places like South Bend, Ind., and Ohio.
F. Thomas Lewand, group executive for jobs and economic development, said in a January interview with Crain's that the Detroit Land Bank Authority will assemble blighted properties and consult with the Detroit Blight Removal Task Force, appointed in September, "to make sure we tear the houses down as quickly as possible."
An email requesting comment was sent to Linda Vinyard, a spokesman for Mayor Mike Duggan.
The Detroit Blight Authority news comes on the same day that the city's neighborhood rebuilding program kicked off with the Land Bank beginning the process of legal action against the owners of all 79 vacant homes in the Marygrove neighborhood.
Detroit Blight Authority ambitions
The nonprofit Detroit Blight Authority — which razed a large area of blighted homes near Detroit's Eastern Market district in a 10-day period last year — was founded last year by Pulte, the grandson of PulteGroup Inc. founder William J. Pulte and managing partner of Bloomfield Hills-based Pulte Capital Partners LLC.
Pulte's blight removal concept can be described as "reverse engineering," a demolition process that applies the same efficiencies used by PulteGroup in preparing sites for home building.
The blight authority was embarking on an ambitious five-step plan, which could have cost between $500 million and $1.5 billion, to eradicate blight in Detroit, where Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr estimates there are 78,000 blighted buildings.
In May, the organization received a commitment for in-kind office space at the Dan Gilbert-owned Chrysler House (formerly the Dime Building), 719 Griswold St. It has five employees.

text: I really don't despise any cartridge. The newer auto pistols rounds like the 40 S&W, 357SIG or 45 GAP, are good rounds but they really don't appeal to me for several reasons. For self defense purposes, I'm sure they work well, but I have never felt under-gunned with a 9mm or a 45. When it comes to buying factory ammo the 9mm can be bought cheaper than any of the newer cartridges. For reloading the 45 has been around a long time, so brass is easily available, cheap, and lasts forever because of the low operating pressure. To sum it up, I have nothing against the newer rounds, just don't see any reason to change what has worked for me for a long time.

A gallery of beautiful photos of cast ironwork friezes in Australia with a mathematical discussion of the classification of frieze patterns.
Patterns that repeat in a line are strangely interesting. How many types are there and how do you tell one type from another?
Overlaying pentominoes can produce some effective patterns. Why not
use LOGO to try out some of the ideas suggested here?
Published October 1997,February 2011.
A single knight's move takes it two squares parallel to one side of the board and one square parallel to the other side.Any such move always takes the knight to a square of the opposite colour (you might like to check this). So, as all the squares on the diagonal are the same colour, the number of moves to go to a square along the diagonal from the starting point must be even because it must
take an even number of moves to get from a square of one colour to a square ofthe same colour. We first find the smallest number of moves needed to go from one corner to the opposite corner of a $99$ by $99$ square board and then solve the problem for boards of any size.
Label the squares: the bottom left-hand corner square as $(1,1)$, other squares across the bottom row as $(2,1)$, $(3,1)$ etc. and, in general, the square in the $x$ column across and the $y$ row up as $(x,y)$. Notice that we are labelling whole squares here and we can think of a lattice of whole number
co-ordinates with points at the centres of the squares.
In this article we shall call a move from one square on the diagonal of a chess board to the next a 'diagonal step'.
We should make a comment about notation here because you may meet vectors written in columns in school work, for example $\left( \begin{array}{c} 2 \\ 1 \end{array} \right)$ rather than $(2,1)$, which is just another way of writing the same thing.
The other type of move has the effect of taking the knight only half a diagonal step forward or backwards in the direction of the diagonal and we denote these moves by the vectors $(2,-1)$, $(-2, 1)$, $(1,-2)$, and $(-1,2)$ as shown in the diagram below.
We add vectors by adding the components separately, for example:
$$(2,1) + (-2,1) = (0,2)$$
$$(2,1) + (2,1) + (2,1) + (1,2) = (7,5)$$
We can take multiples of vectors (to denote a move repeated several times) by multiplying each component separately, for example repeating the move $(2,1)$ three times is given by $3$ times $(2,1)$, which we write as $3(2,1)$ or $(6,3)$. We see that
$$(2,1) + (2,1) + (2,1) + (1,2) = 3(2,1) + (1,2) = (6,3) + (1,2) = (7,5)$$
From a starting square labelled $(x,y)$ these four moves take the knight to the square
$$(x,y) + 3(2,1) + (1,2) = (x+7,y+5)$$
You can check all this vector algebra practically by counting squares on a board.
A knight can move from square $(1,1)$ to square $(99,99)$ in $66$ moves by doing the move $(1,2)$ $34$ times, the move $(2,-1)$ once, and the move $(2,1)$ $31$ times. It will finish at the square given by
$$(1,1) + 34(1,2) + (2,-1) + 31(2,1) = (99,99)$$
As the knight can't move more than $\frac{3}{2}$ diagonal steps along the diagonal in any one move, it can't move more than $\frac{3}{2}$ diagonal steps in $m$ moves. From this we get $\frac{3m}{2} \geq 98$ which means that $m \geq \frac{196}{3}$.
Of course $m$ is a whole number so this tells us that $m = 66$ gives the fewest possible moves and we have shown how this can be done.
Check that the moves described for the $99$ by $99$ board will not take the knight off the edge of the board at any stage and in general this is not a problem because the moves can be taken in any order.
Let us now consider the problem for an $n$ by $n$ square board. As before the knight has to move $(n-1)$ diagonal steps in the direction of the diagonal and it can't move more than $\frac{3}{2}$ diagonal steps in this direction in any one move so it can't move more than $\frac{3m}{2}$ diagonal steps in $m$ moves. From this we get the inequality $\frac{3m}{2}\geq (n -1)$.
The knight has to make slightly different combinations of moves according to whether or not $n$ is divisible by $3$ so we consider all the possibilities.
The knight makes the move $(1,2)$ exactly $k$ times then the move $(2,1)$ exactly $k$ times. This is a total of $2k$ separate moves and it takes the knight to the end position given by:
$$(1,1) +k (1,2) +k (2,1) = (1,1) + (k, 2k) + (2k,k) = (3k+1,3k+1)=(n,n)$$
The reader can check this for $n = 4, n=7$ etc. To show that it can't be done in fewer moves we use the inequality $\frac{3m}{2}\geq(n-1)$ and substitute $n = 3k + 1$ to get:
$3m \geq 2(n - 1) = 6k$
and, dividing this by $3$, we get $m\geq 2k$ and so $m = 2k$ is the smallest number of moves.
The knight makes the move $(1,2)$ exactly $k$ times, then the move $(2,-1)$ once followed by the move $(-1,2)$ once, and finally the move $(2,1)$ exactly $k$ times. This is a total of $2k+2$ separate moves and it takes the knight to the end position given by:
\begin{eqnarray}(1,1) +k(1,2) + (2,-1) + (-1,2) +k(2,1)&=& (1,1) + (k, 2k) + (2,-1) + (-1,2) + (2k,k)\\ &=& (3k+2, 3k+2) \\&=& (n,n) \end{eqnarray}
The reader can check this for $n = 5, n=8$ etc. To show that it can't be done in fewer moves we use the inequality $\frac{3m}{2}\geq(n-1)$ and substitute $n = 3k + 2$ to get:
$3m \geq 2(n - 1) = 6k + 2 $
and, dividing this by $3$, we get $m \geq 2k + \frac{2}{3}$. We know that m is a whole number so it has to be at least $2k +1$ but, in addition to this, we know that m is an even number because the starting and finishing squares are the same colour, so m is at least $2k +2$.
It takes four knight's moves to cross to the opposite corner of a $3$ by $3$ board and this can be done as shown in the diagram below
The knight makes
To show that it can't be done in fewer moves we use the inequality $\frac{3m}{2} \geq (n-1)$ and substitute $n = 3k$ to get:
$$3m \geq 2(n- 1) = 2(3k - 1) = 6k -2$$
and, dividing this by $3$, we get
$$m \geq 2k - \frac{2}{3} $$.
As $m$ is a whole number this means that $m \geq 2k$ and so $ m = 2k$ is the smallest number of moves.

I just came back from a local park where I went to the top of a small hill and had a beer with him. It's the same place I go to have a beer with my dad every year on his birthday.
The General and Tommy Franks were the only brass I ever met that weren't phuquing politicians.
The Bear was a Friend of my Father. They served together at the Pentagon in the mid '60s.
I will miss Uncle Bear.

Today's Consumer Has Emerged Wiser and More Financially Fit
(NBC) Call it a silver lining to the great recession: a new survey by the Fidelity Investments finds that today's consumer has emerged wiser and more financially fit.
"They're saving more, they're reducing debt, they've taken control of their own personal economy, and they are not saying i'm responsible," said Executive Vice-President John Sweeney of Fidelity Investments.
That's good news for tomorrow's consumer, according to online educator EverFi, who found in their recent study that children notice when there are money troubles at home.
"As we went out and surveyed teens, one of the things we found, 44-percent of our teens responded that financial stress at home impacted their ability to have a success in the classroom," said Co-founder of EverFi, Ray Martinez.
Just under half of those in the Fidelity survey said they reduced their personal debt; eight percent claim to now better understand their financial picture.
Both surveys conclude that the home is where children look to learn about financial matters, but there is some doubt among parents that their new-found wisdom will trickle down.
"You only have 26-percent of parents who say they feel like they're equipped to educate their children on these difficult topics," said Martinez.
Sweeney believes that one way or another, younger Americans are learning from the mistakes of older generations.
"The young generation, the twenty-five year olds are looking at their parents and saying "I have to be more frugal, I can't count on somebody else to bail me out of a situation," said Sweeney.
Leading to hope that the financial mistakes of the past won't be repeated in the future.

Oh, sorry. I meant to say "corrections".
Oh, sorry. I meant to say "corrections".
even if you could find something that gave a number below is examples of why the data would probably be meaningless:
part of one post
This is a very important issue that I wish we could standardize as an industry.
Every year I am subjected to at least 4 surveys that include questions about winter losses.
There is all together WAY too much room for variation and fuzzy math without a standard definition that we all understand and apply to our situation.
So here is my formula, one that soley has to do with hive numbers and almost nothing to do with the calendar:

Whatever you subsidize you get more of. Ronald Reagan
Yeah I get that stuff as well. I answer them as best as I can but I know some folks don't bother and it's anyone's guess how accurate the returned ones really are.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Sweet. Simple and clean.
I'm a bit floored that there isn't any usable data on this! We have more statistics about baseball? Nice.
Hey Jim, that's true. They're kind of a pain. If they weren't so long and arduous, and the questions were targeted more towards beekeepers, it would probably have better response?
In fairness, many folks genuinely feel "big brother" dosent need to know every detail about their business. If they aren't cheating anyone who is to say there is really a genuine public need to know about what is happening in their backyard.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
They are not losses Karessa, typical account problem. If I plant corn and it yeilds 30 bushel an acre, but a guy across teh state gets 50, did I loose 20 bushels? no.... my production vs input ratio is less, but it is not a loss. To do your math you would need to account for every blossom missed by bees, minus the ones pollinated by wind and other insects to calculate the lost in fruit production......
Losses of bees are an expense from an accounting standpoint. not a loss in profits. I doubt you will find a beekeeper who doesn't realize this is part of the process, and as far as I know all the beekkeepers are able to replace those every year. some do it with splits some with purchases......
I would love to put the "loss" of honey on my taxes when my hives dont make 500lbs each... but accounting laws won't let me!......
seems to me a search for a fantastical number that means nothing..... but interesting discussion.
Be sure that if you come up with that number you add back the losses from the package producers no longer being able to make a living.....
On years that I have no or low loses I have to increase or sell bees. Otherwise they will swarm. So I suppose I lose the value that I could sell, but if I lose 20% I can use that equipment to keep bees from swarming. So it depends on your perspective. If you don't want to expand anymore, a 20% loss is okay. I get more honey by keeping them from swarming. So this isn't a simple math exercise that the loss of a hive over winter is $x.xx. As the loses increase the cost goes up at a faster rate. If I lost enough bees that had to buy bees to be made whole, that would be a loss to me. Up to 20-30%...not so much except the loss of selling bees income.

Pikeman's Armour. English, about 1625 (II.112)
Pikeman's Armour. English, about 1625 (II.112)
The Great Horse Armoury, Tower of London, by Sir John Gilbert, engraved by Henry Melville, 1841-44
Pikeman's Armour. English, about 1625 (II.113)
Pikeman's Armour. English, about 1625-30 (II.114)
Pikeman's armour. English, London, about 1630 (II.115)
Object Provenance:
English, about 1625
Object Number:
The armour comprises a broad-brimmed pot, a gorget, breastplate with solid plate tassets and backplate. All elements are decorated with embossed parallel chevrons bordered by double incised lines.
The pot retains its original cheekpieces, mounted on modern leathers. The breastplate is joined at either side to the backplate by decorative brass hasps which fit over pierced studs, and at the shoulders by modern leathers with original scales and decorative pierced terminals which fit over swivel hooks with decorative washers at either side of the chest.
The tassets are attached by matching hinged hasps whose upper terminals fit over pierced studs on the flange at the waist. On the flange of the backplate and at the right of the flange of the breastplate are pierced studs for the attachment of a sword hanger. The armour retains its original black from the hammer finish.
This is one of a small but distinctive group of very fine English pikemen's armours. These were once attributed to the royal workshops at Greenwich, but it has since been shown that they were made by members of the Armourers Company of London. Their decoration was probably intended to reflect the pattern of the Bargello or 'flame stitch' patterns popular at the same time for interior decoration.
In the New Horse Armoury the armour can be seen opposite the Line of Kings displayed on a full figure mannequin, holding a pike.

An Insana is a person everybody knows about. He is somebody who is always there among your group, but is not friends with anybody in particular. Everybody in the group finds the Insana creepy and disturbing, yet are unsure of how to proceed. Insanas are known for their ragged facial hair, grimy skin, and bad sense of humor. Most Insanas can latch onto another person for months or even years.
Just because we're in the same Latin class doesn't mean Chris should follow me around all the time. I'm getting the feeling he might be an Insana.

Kim Anyadike's Amazing Life Moments!
"If you're playing hostess, invite peeps who might be the same size and have similar personal styles. If you know someone is teeny tiny or big busted, try to make sure at least one other friend [has a similar build] so nobody feels left out," says Kristine Cholakian, co-founder of Simply Charming Socials, an event-planning and design company that she runs with her partner Danielle Copeland.
Ask everyone bring five to 10 trendy items each. "You can also relegate the swap to a certain type of clothing or accessory—swim suits, handbags, shoes, sun dresses, jeans. You would ask for less pieces from each girl, but it's fun to have a theme," adds Cholakian.

Wedding Trend- Unique BoutonnieresAugust 11th, 2014
Creative Boutonniere Ideas
Flowers are an important part of a wedding and these days, grooms are getting more creative with their boutonnieres. And who can blame them? Brides can't be the only ones rocking the aisle after all! These days, grooms don't even have to feel constricted to flowers- the possibilities are nearly limitless!
Not sure where to start? Well today, we're happy to share some tips to get you started:
- Tip #1– First and foremost, consider the theme. Are you going for something more formal or a bit laid back? Remember- your location can also influence the look!
- Tip #2– Next, incorporate the groomsmen when designing a boutonniere. For example, comic lovers could add tiny action figures instead of flowers, for a fun touch. This would also make the perfect keepsake for your most trusted friends.
- Tip #3– Consider surprising your partner by paying homage to your love story. Any small gift they have given you will make a perfect addition to your boutonniere. For example, a letter turned into a paper flower could be a thoughtful detail appreciated by your fiancee, as well as attendees.
Want to make a subtle statement? There are a variety of options out there that would let you do just that. Leaves, succulents, and feathers make a simple but interesting addition for any season.
Bonus Tip for the gents- Ask your bride-to-be to kindly make room for you on Pinterest, which is chock full of inspiration. But it's admittedly addicting- don't say we didn't warn you! 🙂
See you soon,
Paula & Martin Ramirez

A chorus of honking horns accompanied the sounds of cheering and shouted chants in front of the Mendocino County Courthouse in Ukiah Tuesday evening as 40 to 50 people rallied to champion the right of their friends, family members and themselves to marry whomever they choose.
They joined rallies throughout the nation supporting gay and lesbian couples' right to marry, as the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments over the constitutionality of California's embattled Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage.
"I have two children," said organizer Delynne Rogers of the Ukiah chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. "One of them can marry the person they choose to marry, and one can't marry the person they chose to be with. I'd like to be dancing at both of my children's weddings."
The response was good from passers-by, she said, and lacked the negative reactions she said protesters got 10 years ago in Ukiah.
"We're in a seesaw time," said Charlie Seltzer of Redwood Valley, who has been with his same-sex domestic partner for more than 13 years. "The difference is only a couple of degrees, but it's enough to tip the balance, and when a seesaw tips, it picks up momentum."
Proposition 8's supporters appealed to the high court after a federal judge found the ban unconstitutional. By the end of the day Tuesday, the justices had not ruled on the question.
Seltzer stood and chanted alongside the friends and family members, and other gay and lesbian community members who want to have the same rights to marriage that heterosexual couples do -- for better or for worse.
Seltzer acknowledged that the gay-rights movement has evolved in the last five years or so to include marriage, an institution whose merits some say are dubious.
"Marriage equality is about the right to be as unhappy as most, or at least some, heterosexuals are in their marriages," he smiled. "I want the right to be miserable, too."
Giving an example of the many federal benefits marriage carries, he said his partner of 13-and-a-half years would not be able to access his Social Security benefits if Seltzer were to die.
"It's a basic right for everybody to choose the love of their life," said Marcella Chandler of Ukiah. "Being homosexual is not a sin, and Prop. 8 was horrible."
Allison Ryder toted a sign reading, "We the people means all of us." A male by birth, Ryder identifies herself as a transgender woman, and appeared in women's attire and makeup.
"This is an issue that affects everybody, gay, straight, transgender," Ryder said. "There are consequences, like losing jobs, but this is how I have to live before my life is over -- as me."

|ACS 2010 (3-Year Estimates)
you are here: choose a survey survey document chapter
Publisher: U.S. Census Bureau
Survey: ACS 2010 (3-Year Estimates)
|ACS 2010 3-Year Summary File: Technical Documentation
Social Explorer; U.S. Census Bureau; American Community Survey 2008-2010 Summary File: Technical Documentation.
Chapter Contents
The American Community Survey (ACS) is a household survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau that currently has an annual sample size of about 3.5 million addresses. The ACS data provides communities with the current information they need to plan investments and services. Information from the survey generates data that help determine how more than $400 billion in federal and state funds are distributed annually. Each year the survey produces data that cover the periods of 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year estimates for geographic areas in the United States and Puerto Rico, ranging from neighborhoods to Congressional districts to the entire nation. For more information about the ACS, please visit www.census.gov. ACS tables are published on the Census Bureau's American FactFinder (AFF) website, factfinder2.census.gov, and are available for download in several forms. This document will brief data users on the contents of the ACS Summary File and explain how they can use it to obtain the 3-year estimates.
1.2. The American Community Survey Summary File
The American Community Survey Summary File (ACSSF) is a unique data product that includes all the estimates and margins of error from the Detailed Tables and geographies that are published for the ACS. Other ACS data products such as Subject Tables and Data Profiles are created from the Detailed Tables and are therefore not available in the Summary File.Since the Detailed Tables contain a large number of cells, the tables are stored in a series of files with only the data from the tables, without such information as the title of the tables, the description of the rows, and the names of the geographic areas. That information is in other files that the user must merge with the data files to reproduce the tables.
The ACS Summary File data files are in American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) format. The files are divided into three types:
The ACS Summary File data files are in American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) format. The files are divided into three types:
- Geographies - (position based and comma delimited)
- Estimates - (comma delimited)
- Margins of Error - (comma delimited)
1.3. Topics and Geographies Covered
Data contained in the ACS Summary File cover demographic, social, economic, and housing subject areas. All Detailed Tables for the ACS 1-year estimates are in the Summary File and are listed in Appendix E.The published ACS Summary File geographies cover areas that are based on "summary levels". A summary level specifies the content and the hierarchical relationships of the geographic elements that are required to tabulate and summarize data. For example, summary level code "040" represents the U.S. States, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico; while summary level code "050" represents counties and county equivalents within states.In addition to the summary level concept, the ACS 3-year estimates are published for areas that have passed the required 65,000 population threshold.Many resources are available to help users understand the ACS geographic terms and concepts. For additional nformation, please visit www.census.gov/geo/reference/index.html and www.census.gov/acs/www/guidance_for_data_users/geography/.
Users may also find the full list of summary levels published for the 1-year Detailed Tables in Appendix F.
Users may also find the full list of summary levels published for the 1-year Detailed Tables in Appendix F.
1.4. Tools for Obtaining Data
Since using the ACS Summary File can be challenging, users should first check if their tables of interest are available for download on American FactFinder. Below are some other options to help users retrieve the tables they want. They are listed in order based on ease of use.
- Summary File Excel Retrieval Tool
- Summary File Excel Import Tool
- SAS Programs
1.5. Notable Changes to the Summary File
The files for the 2008-2010 ACS 3-year estimates are similar to last year's publications (the 2009 ACS 1-, 3-, and 5-year estimates) with the following exceptions. These changes were established starting with the 2010 ACS 3-year release:
A template for the geography file was added in the "SummaryFileTemplates" zipped folder due to popular demand. For more information, visit Chapter 2.4.
- Geography Files Offered in Comma Delimited Format
- SummaryFileXLS.zip Renamed to SummaryFileTemplates.zip
- SummaryFileTemplates.zip Includes a Template for the Geography File
A template for the geography file was added in the "SummaryFileTemplates" zipped folder due to popular demand. For more information, visit Chapter 2.4.
- Missing Value Has Been Changed From Dot to Empty Cell
- Instructions Added on How to Join the Summary File to TIGER/Line Shapefiles
1.6. Contact Us

When we moved into our new house last year, we wanted to expand our family. It was time to get a dog. I grew up with a dog in my family and wanted my kids to have the same experience. I expected that would mean random items around the house would get destroyed by the playful puppy. What I didn't expect was having to learn sign language.
A relative emailed and asked if we would like a puppy. The email came with a picture of an adorable little white blob and we were hooked. The second message relayed the concern that if we didn't take the puppy, its future was uncertain. The puppy was albino and unwanted by the breeder. That set the hook and we now knew that the puppy was coming to our house. The third message was trouble. The puppy may be deaf. Continue Reading "Raising a Deaf Puppy" »

|I use my headset for my job. I first bought the Voyager a couple years ago, it lasted about a year. It still works & I still have it. I felt I needed a new headset. I like the boom mic.\r\nClear sound. A blue light starts blinking before my phone rings. Sync is easy. Lets you know when you\'ve walked too far from phone. Can connect 2 different phones.\r\nLast year May 2012, purchased the new Plantronics Voyager Pro + Very happy with it. \r\nMy only problem is I\'m looking for an over the ear cordless headset with boom mic, that\'s sweat proof. That\'s how I found this page, so I felt the need to leave an opinion and my experience. I\'ve used this headset mon-fri 7:30am to 7 or 8 pm. I did buy a small case when putting in my bag. It\'s well worth the money

All I have to say is that these girls are two of the spoiled B I have ever seen they are way to young to be drinking and that cake is not a good idea to be giving a 17 yrs old. Just because your rich you think you can buy off any thing. But just remember girls the money can be taking away from you as fast as it was giving to you.You also need to watch out who you sleep with and kiss. You need to stop disrespected your mother like you have been doing that is no way for Ladies to act.

Starting Position: Kneel on an exercise mat or floor positioning your knees and feet hip-width apart, toes pointing to the wall behind you. Engage your core and abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine and pelvis.
Slowly lean forward bending from the hips. Keep the abdominals braced to keep the spine straight. Place your hands on the bench. Keep the arms straight so there is a straight line from the shoulders, through the elbows to the wrists.
With your hands on the bench, keep your knees directly under your hips while leaning back into your hips to increase the stretch into the upper back. Keep your chin tucked into your neck to stabilize your cervical spine and to keep your head from dropping toward the floor. Maintain your abdominal bracing to keep the spine straight and the pelvis level.
Hold the stretch position for approximately 30-45 seconds, to increase the stretch into the latissimus dorsi (back) muscles, slowly rotate your thumbs to point up towards the ceiling. Repeat for a total of 2-4 repetitions.
Exercise Variation: To further increase the stretch, turn the palms up to face the ceiling while leaning back into your hips. Exhale as you lean back into your hips, and do not let your head drop toward the ground.

I also have a gameboy emulator on droid. lol
I played Pokemon Blue for quite some time. Im too old to really be familiar with pokemon to be honest, but my little brother played it growing up, so I went to him for pointers =P
Oderint Dum Metuant
It's too bad, I'm too good....
I actually hate Apple with a passion (although I have Apple products). They make everything so freaking difficult..
Mood: WOOF!
They really do. I owned an iBook (Prior to the popular Macbook craze) and 2 ipods.
and have had nothing but huge issues with their support. Apple was part of a class action lawsuit involving their laptop chargers....they were shorting, and causing fires. LITERALLY CAUSING FIRES!!!
Mine fried out, lucky the laptop wasnt damaged, and so i brought it in for a replacement, thinking, hey here's the lawsuit paperwork, I registered my serial number, registered my product, they'll hook me up.
NOTHING....they refused to give me a charger. THEIR DEFECTIVE charger!!! So of course I had to spend $79.99 just to use my $1000 laptop.
My mom bought me an ipod touch 2 christmas' ago, and the thing was awesome. Last summer it bricked, wouldnt power up. Wouldnt connect. Just dead.
So i contacted apple support, and I couldn't read my serial #, because in what i believe to be an intentional *******ing, they made the backs of ipods metal so that they would wear off. they wouldnt even talk to me without pre-paying $100.
So never again. Never again. My family has purchased THOUSANDS of dollars on apple products, and we cant even get service. We have count em; 4 iphones, 2 laptops, 4 ipods, and 2 ipads, and I still cant get customer service. So **** em....

It's too bad, I'm too good....
I remember once my brother's phone wouldn't charger, because the little opening on the phone where the charger is supposed to be inserted had something wrong with it, and they replaced the entire thing. Shocked they didn't do that with your charger.
Here's what I have a problem with. Suppose you buy a new laptop and want to transfer all of your music from your iPhone, iPod touch, or whatever to the new laptop..guess what..you can't They make sure you don't have the software or the intelligence to do so, so you can buy ALL your music from iTunes and make more money. There was a way you can go into your PC and click some button (Apple had it unclicked obviously) so there was a way to transfer your music to your new computer. They found out that people find out and did away with it. I asked a guy at the store if there was a way I can do this, and he told me there wasn't, that you would have to buy new music or pay for an outside software. I didn't want to pay...and luckily I found a free website called "Sharepod" that will transfer all your music, videos, everything onto your computer and iTunes for free.
I know it's a business, but that's pretty messed up that someone would have to buy THOUSANDS worth of songs all over again just so they can have it on their computer.
Mood: WOOF!
