LANL and the SFI are both exceptional scientific institutions, with a long relationship and sharing several common goals. However in the last few years this relationship has depended exclusively on the initiative of individual scientists. We believe that there is great potential for the SFI and LANL to collaborate on a more institutional basis for the benefit of both institutions.
To capitalize on this potential we are organizing the one-day workshop. The format will include technical presentations by scientists of both institutions, together with an opportunity for managers of the two institutions to explore collaboration possibilities.

SFI's REU program provides an opportunity for young scientists from many disciplines to explore what a social science perspective brings to other fields and how traditionally quantitative disciplines can contribute to the social sciences. Each REU participant works with one or more SFI faculty mentors on a specific, mutually selected projects focusing on the computational properties of complex systems with particular, but not exclusive, emphasis on the social sciences.
The Complex Systems Summer School offers an intensive four week introduction to complex behavior in mathematical, physical, living, and social systems for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the sciences and social sciences. The school is for participants who seek background and hands-on experience to help them prepare to conduct interdisciplinary research in areas related to complex systems.
The program consists of an intensive series of lectures, laboratories, and discussion sessions focusing on foundational ideas, tools, and current topics in complex systems research. These include nonlinear dynamics and pattern formation, scaling theory, information theory and computation theory, adaptation and evolution, network structure and dynamics, adaptive computation techniques, computer modeling tools and specific applications of these core topics to various disciplines. In addition, participants will formulate and carry out team projects related to topics covered in the program.

SFI / NMC Program on Combining Information Theory and Game Theory
Organizers: David Wolpert (SFI External Faculty), Simon DeDeo (SFI Omidyar Fellow), Nils Bertschinger (Max Planck), Eckehard Olbrich (Max Planck), Eric Smith (SFI External Faculty), Luis Bettencourt (SFI)
How a single agent (human, firm, animal, etc.) behaves typically depends on what information it has about its environment, and on its preferences. Accordingly, the joint behavior of multiple interacting agents can depend strongly on the information available to the separate agents, both about one another, and about external random variables. Precisely how the joint behavior depends on the information available to the agents is determined by the preferences of those agents. So in general there is a strong interplay among the preferences of all the agents, their behavior, and the information structure connecting them.
One tool that might help us understand this interplay is Shannon information theory. In Shannon information theory, information is a function of a distribution. Increasing the amount of information in a distribution means making that distribution more tightly concentrated. This definition applies not only if the support of the distribution shrinks or expands, but also if it moves.
Another tool that might help us understand the interplay is game theory. In contrast to Shannon information theory, game theory does not quantify information in terms of properties of probability distributions. Rather the information available to a player is quantified as an "information set," specifying a set of states the world might be in. The amount of information available to a player increases if such an information set shrinks. In contrast to the case with Shannon information theory, the change in information for moving an information set is undefined.
There are other differences between information theory and game theory. For example, whereas the foundations of Shannon information theory concern a single player (the designer of a communication network), the foundations of game theory concern multiple players.
Reconciling the different perspectives on information in Shannon information theory and game theory could have many benefits. Most directly, it may help us understand the interplay among the preferences of a set of interacting players, their behavior, and the information structure connecting them. As potential examples, it might help us address issues like the following:
1. How do information theoretic quantifications of the joint behavior of a set of interacting players (e.g., mutual information between actions of pairs of them) vary with changes to the preferences of those players?
2. Can relating the philosophical foundations of the two fields improve them? For example, as Shannon himself emphasized, Shannon information is purely "syntactic," quantifying the amount of information in a distribution purely by how concentrated it is. Can the utility functions of game theory—which depend not just on how concentrated a distribution is, but also on where it is concentrated—be used to define a "semantic" variant of Shannon information?
3. Can relating the mathematical formalisms of the two fields improve them? For example, are there analogs of the powerful theorems of information theory for game-theoretic quantities, e.g., game theoretic versions of results concerning rate distortion tradeoffs, the data processing inequality, etc.?
More generally, greater understanding of the relation between information theory and game theory may generate breakthroughs in many disciplines, including economics, political science, cognitive sciences and artificial intelligence.

Summary: Technological change is a key component of economic growth. However, economists' treatment of this is typically at an aggregate level, in which technology is represented merely as a single number called the "total factor productivity". This workshop will bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines to make first steps toward constructing a theory of technological change. The discussions will focus on understanding ecosystems of interacting technologies and the factors that cause them to evolve through time. Please join this foremost group of experts, economists, biologists, applied mathematicians, physicists, engineers, archaeologists, and anthropologists for a one-day event in Santa Fe.
The workshop is supported by the Santa Fe Institute, the Institute for New Economic Thinking and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Summary: This two-and-a-half day introductory course focuses on the science of networks: a new field that studies common principles of complex networks across disciplines. Social and economic networks, food webs, the World Wide Web, and the power grid are examples of the kinds of systems that network science seeks to understand. In this course, taught by prominent Santa Fe Institute faculty and associates, you will learn the basic concepts and tools of this new science, and see several case studies of their application in diverse areas. You will also have the opportunity for discussion with the faculty and other participants about applications within your own areas of interest. You will come away with an understanding and appreciation of the importance of network science for biology, ecology, economics, business, human health, social life, and other pursuits.
Additional information about the course, a detailed schedule, and logistics can be found on our wiki.

Summary: One can hardly read a newspaper, listen to a news broadcast, or open a web page without encountering the words "Big Data", often in gushing terms, and often accompanied by extreme claims. This symposium will explore the promise and the limitations of "Big Data" in science, technology, business, politics, and government. In particular, we will examine the importance of big data in light of the questions being asked and the theoretical context in which big data are analyzed and interpreted.
Please contact Casey Cox for more information or to receive a link to register.

I want to say, there is a lot of people, who play only one game. You know, like HoN, EvE, SC2, D3, WoW, CS, Dota2, L4D2, TF2 etc. There is a lot of Linux users who have partition with Windows or WINE only for one game. If some of this games (like CS, Dota, L4D2, TF2 ) become available for Linux, isn't that great?! It help many people get rid of Windows from their computers, so they will expand Linux-only gamers army.
I can only hope Blizzard will follow Valve.
S3TC patent is belong to S3 Graphics. HTC own S3 Graphics. HTC is part of Open Invention Network (OIN). So someone need to ask HTC move S3TC patent into this list to make S3TC available for Linux (so distros will be able to provide s3tc package out-of-the-box) or simply allow everyone use it (this make possible include S3TC into Mesa).
The other solution for S3TC problem is S2TC, that is already available in Debian and Ubuntu. When you install psychonauts-bin:i386 from Ubuntu Software Center you will also get libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0:i386 installed. So isn't solution is already here?

Hello All,
My wife's aunt in Georgia has asked me to send her some of my photos so that she can display them in her restaruant, so that she can try to sell them for me. She said right now everyone has been giving her 8x10s and they don't stand out to well. So I will be sending her some 11x14s matted and framed in a 16x20 and some 12x12s matted and framed in either a 14x14 or 16x16. Each one is going to cost me about $15 to $20 total for the frame, matting and photo printing. My question is how do I figure out what to ask for them? My wife's aunt said that most of the 8x10s are priced at $39 matted and framed.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly apreciated.

The word bravery conjures up images of capes, tights, and super heroes whose parts—muscles or mammaries—rival overinflated balloons. It is typically used to describe remarkable acts and heroic feats, particularly those which relate to physical strength or military might.
As a result, bravery seems largely inaccessible—a virtue reserved for the average person presented with unthinkable circumstances, such as hurricane Katrina, or to heroes whose stories—real or fabricated—seem remote or even irrelevant to our daily lives. Because really, when was the last time you needed to escape from a marauding band of warriors? Or to settle a dispute with your neighbor while wearing chain mail?
Even though hand-to-hand combat seems more barbaric than laudable in these modern, technologically saturated times, life regularly calls for ordinary bravery—the kind of gritty chutzpah or pluck required to survive the quotidian.
Bravery of this flavor is subtle and understated; it is a deep pulse that carries us onward and steadies us as we face life's less dramatic waves. Woven into the concepts of flexibility and perseverance, this small "b" bravery helps us befriend the notion that change comes not through grand gestures or sweeping declarations, but through slow and deliberate practice.
Sometimes we confuse bravery with stoicism; we tell ourselves to buck up or snap out of it because we believe this is the strong thing to do—the thing that will reinstate a sense of control or make us feel powerful. And yet denying our experience doesn't take much bravery; it's actually quite easy to press fast-forward and hide from ourselves or the reality of life.
The more courageous route would be to acknowledge the feelings or thoughts, even those that are unpleasant or so-called negative, and to examine them a bit. Do they nest in our stomach or our shoulders? What do they tell us? And how can we learn from them?
Bravery may be a cake walk when others are watching; we can easily fulfill public promises and do ourselves proud. But when we are only in the company of ourselves, when we occupy a single bed or a table for one, does our mettle begin to melt? Do we find it hard to follow through on our intention to take better care of our bodies, or to turn off the ever-buzzing media so that we come to know the landscape of our own vantage point? Are we able to confront a history that we'd just as soon forget, or to shun a cultural imperative that is clearly detrimental to our lives?
Unlike its swashbuckling, big "B" cousin, psychological bravery can slip by unnoticed and unappreciated; it doesn't make headlines or win us any awards. But there's something precious about this dark horse of a quality, because it tethers us to meaning, purpose and dignity—to the most essential parts of who we are.
And it doesn't call for chain mail. Which is a win in my book.
What does bravery mean to you? And when have you been most brave?

Glenbard West knocks off Downers Grove North
Hilltoppers gain early advantage in race for West Suburban Silver title
DOWNERS GROVE – In a game that could go a long way to deciding the West Suburban Silver football conference champion, Glenbard West topped Downers Grove North 21-0 Friday night in the WSS opener for both teams.
It was the first time the Hilltoppers (2-1, 1-0 WSS) shut out a team this season and the first time the Trojans (2-1, 0-1) had been shut out this year.
West put together a 65-yard drive on its first possession and capped it with Drew Vogg's 16-yard strike to Grant Greeno with 6:15 left in the first quarter. West scored just before halftime on Scott Andrew's 1-yard lead and had a 14-0 advantage at intermission.
The Hilltoppers landed what proved to be the knockout blow early in the third quarter when Pernevlon Sheppard broke off a winding 48-yard touchdown run.
Both teams will be on the road at 7:30 p.m. Friday as North takes on Oak Park-River Forest and West heads to Lyons Township.

No, I do remember that Media Portal was no walk in the park, but then there were guides online that stepped me through it exactly and it worked as expected after following them.
The guides here do highlight the things that the xbmc interface do not make at all obvious, and as said they got me to the point where it kind of works. But why doesn't it tell you anywhere the status of the scans. It is supposed to tell you in the info panel at the top of the screen, and it did for a while, but then went away, and then I'm left not knowing if it thinks it's finished scanning or if it had an issue, or needs a restart or anything. FEEDBACK is what this is lacking, in a big way.
At least in Media Portal, in the TV Series and Movie plugins you have a clear indication of the state of the scans, what they believe to be the entirety of your library and the easy ability to quickly rescan for anything they may have missed. I see nothing like that in xbmc.
Also, why are the three content types for videos 'Movies', 'TV Shows' and 'None', and can I see the 'None' while still seeing the other two, because doesn't having the system in library mode hide anything not in the library (which would be all those videos I have that are not tv shows or movies)? It really does not make it clear how to set up display modes on a per share basis and then show these easily in the main menu.
Bad experience for a first time user of XBMC

My post is trying to demonstrate how frustrating xbmc is to set up... coming from someone who has programmed computers since 1983, and still does as a living. I do know tech, I do know software, and I know a bad interface when I see one. ONCE you get xbmc setup I can see it can be a great way to access your media, but the initial setup is horrible. It's not intuitive, it gives little to no feedback, and does not gear itself to the primary use people probably want from it. Comments like yours are how projects like this never get better 'Oh bugger off, I finally worked it out after wringing my hair out and trial and error, and damnit, so can you, I refuse to accept that this could be made any better' Everyone else is giving FAR more constructive feedback than you sir. |

If you are going to insult me at least have the courtesy to do it in English.
I have no idea what a git or bugger is. Should I have been insulted?

Git and bugger are both English insults... from the motherland (I'm not, but they are)... so I did insult you in English "Git is mild bad language with origins in British English for a silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, senile elderly or childish person. It is usually an insult, more severe than twit or idiot but less severe than ****** or ******* ." And "Today, the term is a general-purpose expletive, used to imply dissatisfaction, or used to describe someone or something whose behaviour is in some way displeasing, though in general Australian and New Zealand English the expletive force has largely disappeared; the word there now has a 'catch-all', almost humorous, 'Jeez' quality." And I'm Australian... hence I use it that way.

Well I went from GBPVR->MediaPortal->Moovida->XBMC
And I have to say that of all those XBMC has been the easiest by far to setup. I can't understand why you had problems, it's very intuitive. As for WAF, well last night I came home to see my wife actually showing off our setup to her friends. I was very proud My friends all want me to set it up for them, and once again I can't understand why anyone would have any problems. Your issues seem to be with scraping, perhaps your internet connection is flakey? BTW, Dharma (the beta version of the next XBMC) allows you to 'correct' incorrectly scraped fanart and lets you choose from the gallery found on your scraped site (ie thetvdb or themoviedb) FWIW, My remote doesnt have a 'C' button (at least not that I've noticed) and I wouldn't know what it does anyway since I've never had to press it!

WAF is not an issue with these apps as my wife is all for them after using MediaPortal for years.
Maybe you didn't have issues, and maybe if your internet connection is perfect and you suffer no problems at all during the install then it's perfect. But what if there are problems? What if you chose something incorrectly? How do you fix it? Where is the screen prompting on what to do next? I am using Dharma beta 3(or 4, whatever the latest one is). And I have a media center remote which I'm sure has a button I could use instead of 'C' on my wireless keyboard, but the instructions on the website say press 'C' for a keyboard and for a remote it's variable... which isn't very helpful. And I ended up in an interface for trying to fix the scraped tv info but I'm not entirely sure how I got there and it didn't fix much once I did. I'm just saying it could do with some work that's all. |

If you read the quick start guide first you wouldn't or shouldn't have had a problem there is no reason what so ever to press "C" to setup XBMC or to populate either the Movies library or TV library
First time you select video you see "Add Source" which is self explanatory in the add source window you also have "Set Content" its all in the same window and every option in set content is explained in the quick start guide all this is done from arrows and ok on the remote How hard is it to go to "Video > Add Source > Set Content" especially when set content is in the add source window Think you have been stumbling round in the dark because you haven't taken the time to read a dam thing

While I agree with some of the OP's grievances, I can't support his post. He states that XBMC isn't the easiest thing to set up (which I agree) then calms MediaPortal is better BECAUSE of the walk through online. XBMC has online walk throughs for nearly everything and there is a quickstart guide (linked in this thread).
IMO, when you add a source there should be a pop up asking you if you now want to scan this source (and set content if needed). XBMC doesn't currently handle home videos very well. It is a weakness that I know some of the devs are looking at (maybe 3 types of video; Movie, TV and Home Vids). |

I don't think xbmc does a bad job of explaining things to new users. For instance when you jump into a menu such as Movies before having added any sources it tells you that no sources have been configured and tells you to add them under the Videos menu. Same goes for when it warns about the library view not being ready etc.
There are a couple of things I can suggest to newcomers aside from the already suggested (and best piece of advice you can get) "read the wiki": 1. If you require a guide to show you every step to take then Lifehacker had this pretty good one. Granted it may be a little dated now if you are running the latest builds but the basics should all be there; and 2. See this thread for a useful cheat sheet that you may want to stick to your keyboard or keep nearby. In my personal experience, I can't stress enough that as good as scrapers may be, there is nothing better than using a media manager (I use Media Companion but there are plenty of others out there) and managing everything yourself. Whilst it may seem a little daunting at first, once you get the hang of it and you know what files are used where, your artwork issues will be a thing of the past and if you ever need to rebuild your library you won't have to wait ages for everything to be rescraped. Don't forget that if you find artwork changes aren't reflecting in xbmc, use the "reload" option on that specific item. |

A new study shows that many millionaires don't believe they're "rich!" Only 28% of people with investment holdings between 1-5 million dollars thought they were rich.
When I was a kid, the people across the street from us had a Dixie Cup dispenser built into the wall of their bathroom and I thought they were probably the richest people in the world, even though, otherwise, their house was about the same as ours. Meanwhile, our cheap, plastic Dixie Cup dispenser was stuck on the wall with double-sided tape, and fell off about every other day.
So, I guess you always want more! And right now, I want a lukewarm cup of bathroom water!

7 months ago I thought of a great idea for a website. I enrolled in an intro to entrepreneur class at school and I created a business plan with financial statements. I have been working with a developer to make a 'wire frame mock-up' of the site design in line with my vision. The project will be done by may. I also have a personal loan for ~5k.
My next challenge is finding someone with a programming background to co-found this website with me.
How do I play this. How much info do I give him, and when. Do I interview them before I tell them anything about the opportunity? Basically, how much information do I need to divulge to see if there is a match in both skills, personality, goals, etc.
He wont want to co-found an idea he knows little about (do I show him my business plan, my financials, my mockup, etc?) and I dont want to tell the person until I find the right person to tell (my co-founder).
So my question is; What agreement/contractss are needed, and when are they to be made? Starting from the initial contact to a potential co-founder. When does he sign an NDA? Before or after he qualify his skills.
I plan on incorporating (WA) with my co-founder, with a 51/49 split. What if he is codes for 4 weeks and quits or drops out? What happens to his code, and the company, all the IP/cash I put it into, name, etc.

What is an Index?
A stock index is a compilation of several stock prices into a single number. Indexes come in various shapes and sizes. Some are broad-based and measure moves in broad, diverse markets. Others are narrow-based and measure more specific industry sectors of the marketplace. Understand that it is not the number of stocks that comprise the average that determine if an index is broad-based or narrow-based, but rather the diversity of the underlying securities and their market coverage. Different stock indexes can be calculated in different ways. Accordingly, even where indexes are based on identical securities, they may measure the relevant market differently because of differences in methods of calculation.
An index can be constructed so that weightings are biased toward the securities of larger companies, a method of calculation known as capitalization-weighted. In calculating the index value, the market price of each component security is multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. This will allow a security's size and capitalization to have a greater impact on the value of the index.
Equal Dollar-Weighted
Another type of index is known as equal dollar-weighted and assumes an equal number of shares of each component stock. This index is calculated by establishing an aggregate market value for every component security of the index and then determining the number of shares of each security by dividing this aggregate market value by the current market price of the security. This method of calculation does not give more weight to price changes of the more highly capitalized component securities.
Other Types
An index can also be a simple average: calculated by simply adding up the prices of the securities in the index and dividing by the number of securities, disregarding numbers of shares outstanding. Another type measures daily percentage movements of prices by averaging the percentage price changes of all securities included in the index.
Adjustments & Accuracy
Securities may be dropped from an index because of events such as mergers and liquidations or because a particular security is no longer thought to be representative of the types of stocks constituting the index. Securities may also be added to an index from time to time. Adjustments to indexes might be made because of such substitutions or due to the issuance of new stock by a component security. Such adjustments and other similar changes are within the discretion of the publisher of the index and will not ordinarily cause any adjustment in the terms of outstanding index options. However, an adjustment panel has authority to make adjustments if the publisher of the underlying index makes a change in the index's composition or method of calculation that, in the panel's determination, may cause significant discontinuity in the index level.
Finally, an equity index will be accurate only to the extent that:
- the component securities in the index are being traded
- the prices of these securities are being promptly reported
- the market prices of these securities, as measured by the index, reflect price movements in the relevant markets

NTSB releases preliminary report on Fla. crash
NTSB report says problems started just after takeoff in central Fla. crash that killed pilot
The pilot who died in a plane crash had only reached 300 feet when he called out "Mayday" shortly after takeoff from New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport.
That's according to National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report on the Feb. 13 crash.
Officials cleared 56-year-old Paul Rooy for landing on any runway. But the Daytona Beach News-Journal reports witnesses told investigators the airplane was in a left wind down bank when it hit a tree and power lines before striking another tree. It landed in a cow pasture just west of the airport.
Rooy had not filed a flight plan.
NTSB says all "major components" of the plane were present at the crash scene.
It could take a year for the agency to complete the full report.

Video: Turnpike Authority to phase in discount plan changes
PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Maine Turnpike Authority's board has voted to phase in its changes to its commuter discount program. A lot of people were upset to learn that the MTA was replacing its commuter program with a different plan designed to spread discounts out to more people.
From November 1 - June 30, families who make 30 to 39 trips a month will receive a 25 percent discount off the EZ-Pass toll rate. Those who make more than 40 trips a month will get a 50 percent discount. The MTA made a point of saying that people can put up to 4 EZ-Pass transponders on one account. So, for instance, a husband and wife who take separate cars to work can combine their trips towards a discount.
Starting July 1, 2013, the Turnpike Authority plans to change to the discounts that caused a lot of people to speak up in anger at a public hearing two weeks ago:
30-39 trips/month = 10% discount 40-49 trips/month = 20% discount 50-59 trips/month = 30% discount 60-69 trips/month = 40% discount 70+ trips/month = 50% discount
The board also voted, though, to look over the numbers in about 6 months, and determine whether it can apply heavier discounts. Executive Director Peter Mills said, "Our guess is that we may not be able to, but we may be able to do something in between the phase-in program and the permanent one that goes into effect July 1st."
21,000 customers currently have a commuter plan. The MTA is estimating right now that phasing in the change in discounts will reduce revenue by about $650,000 in the 8 months before the permanent rates take effect.
A handful of people came to speak out against the change Thursday. Marcia Doucette, who commutes to Scarborough from Lewiston, says she'll be paying hundreds of dollars more per year under this plan. "I feel they're listening," Doucette said. "But I don't feel that they're going to change anything. I feel like they're gung ho about keeping their rates what they're going to be."
Still, others said they were glad that the MTA would be taking a second look at its revenue in 6 months to see if there was a way to help commuters.

Putting the wakeup alarmclock to Wikipedia's head since... Oh god, it's been that long?
Welcome, Guest! ( Log In | Register )
QUOTEThe Decline and Fall of Me * That's a little melodramatic, don't you think? It's pretty easy to dodge a block. At any time, I can create a new account with a new IP. If I don't edit <article she kicked him off> promptly, nobody will ever know. It's a quasi-article-ban at best. * The basic topic here is what to do when a blocked user edits non-disruptively for three months. You've made some assumptions here that are incorrect. Igor wasn't banned because of a dispute with me; he was banned because he kept an off-wiki hit list of editors, tagged with phrases like "Marked for assassination." If you read the ANI you will know. Likewise, if you research the <article she kicked him off> , you won't find any trolling by me. My last block for editing was in September 2007. I don't try to disrupt or troll. * There's too much blind rule-following here. The concerns about this article are legitimate. It exploits the built-in cultural bias of a language-specific Wiki. It labels Middle Easterners, Latin Americans, Asians, in ways they don't accept for themselves. There would be no consensus if those people were equally represented here. My editing pattern reflects someone in a 2-1 minority on a heated topic, that's all. * So, I will create a new account and edit other articles. Maybe I'll edit <article she kicked him off> with an IP, or just let it breathe. I care more about the purpose of Wikipedia than the rules. See you around. --Life.temp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Colonial Gothic RPG: Locations
Four Towns, Many Secrets! Plymouth, Massachusetts; Elizabethtown, Maryland; Savannah, Georgia; Charlotte Haven, Florida. Four towns that appear to have nothing in common. Four towns with secrets. Award-winning author Jennifer Brozek takes you beneath the surface of four communities across Colonial America: the people, the societies, the secrets, and the things that were better left undiscovered. Described in loving detail, each location is provided with a wealth of adventure seeds and campaign starts. Whether your Heroes are just visiting or decide to make a town their base of operations, you will find plenty here to provoke, challenge, and threaten them. There are wrongs to right, conspiracies to thwart, and monsters to slay. There are friends to help and foes to defeat. There is mystery, intrigue, and danger in plenty. Just look beneath the surface. This book contains revised and re-edited versions of Rogue Games' acclaimed Plymouth and Elizabethtown e-books—in print for the first time—plus two all-new locations: Savannah, the bustling capital of the young Georgia Colony, and Charlotte Haven, a small Florida town where a long Spanish heritage sits uneasily beneath the veneer of British rule. Praise for Plymouth and Elizabethtown:
