Henry Grabar is a staff writer for Slate's Moneybox and a former fellow at CityLab. He lives in New York.
We know from previous experience how natural disasters can affect certain sectors of society differently. The rich get by, the poor suffer enormously; small businesses and restaurants can be seriously hurt even without being physically damaged. The culture industry is especially vulnerable, as displacement, transportation issues and a lack of tourism decimates its audience.
And yet, some businesses and some groups of people thrive. It seems inappropriate to call them winners, but the impact of the hurricane for some is, well, different. Statistics are slow to emerge, and it's not yet clear how the storm affects, say, grocery stores, whose shelves were cleaned out on Sunday, or coffee shops, which seem to be the busiest places in Manhattan right now. But things are looking pretty good for restaurants north of the black-out zone and pay phones within.
In order from least to most benefit, here's five more that haven't been doing so badly:
5. Cyclists
It's not that cycling post-Sandy has been better, though there have been some claims to that effect. Rather, with many subway lines still down beneath the East River, buses jammed, and more than half of the city's gas stations out of fuel, relatively speaking, it's a good time to own a bike. At the moment, it seems that biking (and walking) is the only reliable way to get from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
4. Hotels -- the ones with power, anyway.
On Monday night, during the peak storm surge, occupancy rates for hotels in New York City were near normal, according to hotel research company STR. While no large-scale data is yet available for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday nights, they figure to have been even more busy. International guests could not leave, reducing outflow: of the Sheraton New York, Barbara Delollis writes in USA Today:
On any given day, the hotel normally sees 400 or 500 guest departures, but with the lack of transportation into and out of the city, he says that number's been fluctuating at only 50 to 70 departures per day.
So while others could not arrive, their spots were quickly taken up by New Yorkers fleeing flooding and power outages or commuters trying to ensure they could get to work. On Tuesday night, 600,000 New Yorkers remained without power, including many in the city's well-off downtown residential areas. Now, the rooming shortage is exacerbated by the arrival of New York Marathon runners who had booked their rooms months ago. Hotels are being forced to choose between honoring reservations and evicting evacuees.
"Nearly all hotels in midtown and uptown are full," Hervé Houdré, GM of the InterContinental New York Barclay, told Hotel News Now. With power in much of Lower Manhattan expected to be out until Saturday, that trend figures to continue. While some hotel owners fear losing out on associated business, like conferences, and staff has been stretched, they are doing well in other areas.
Kathleen Duffy, spokesperson for NYC Marriott Hotels, is reluctant to say the hotels were doing good business. But occupancy was near normal for the usually busy Marathon Week. In the Marriott in Times Square (below), for example, all 1,957 rooms were full. Other hotels I contacted, more or less at random – the Essex House, the Hyatt, the Brooklyn Marriott – also had no rooms available.
"Are the rooms full? Yes," says Duffy. "Food and beverage are equally busy because everything else is closed -- even non-guests are coming to our hotels to eat. Yes, this would have been a busy week; obviously we prefer that there had not been a hurricane, but the rooms are full. But we would never see a hurricane as a boon to business."
3. Engineers.
In the short-term, there is, obviously, a lot of work in Sandy's wake for engineers. Admittedly this is a broad categorization, but the damage has been wide-ranging, and it seems obvious that engineers of the hydraulic, structural, electrical and mechanical varieties will be in demand in the Tri-State area for a while. The Army Corps of Engineers' elite "dewatering" team was flown into New York to examine its inundated infrastructure, the first time they had been deployed outside of New Orleans. Areas of New Jersey and Long Island that are still standing will need dunes and infrastructure rebuilt immediately if they are to survive winter storms.
It's likely that engineers will also have work to do in the region in the future. Governor Andrew Cuomo admitted that the effects of the storm require long-term planning: "I think we need to anticipate more of these extreme weather type situations in the future and we have to take that into consideration in reforming, modifying our infrastructure."
New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a Republican, hinted that he agreed this was not an isolated event: "I'm never going to use the phrase hundred-year storm again because we've had three of those, three hundred-year storms, in the past three years," he said at a press conference on Wednesday.
If Cuomo's pledge becomes a reality, we could expect massive engineering projects in the New York Harbor in the coming years. Talk of climate change and infrastructure will become more common, particularly after Tuesday's election.
2. Media
That the media loves misery, especially in so spectacular a form, is very old news – the most popular items in 19th century newspapers were always stories of crime and disaster, not politics or lifestyle.
There's lots of debate about how social media may change the equation, but there is no doubt that the traditional media benefits when there's a once-in-a-lifetime disaster unfolding and people are eager for reportage. Outages at popular sites like Gawker and The Huffington Post only improved things for outlets that managed to keep systems running, even if some deactivated their pay walls.
Advertisement Journal reports that TV channels both national and local had a "sudden escalation" in viewership on Monday, with some local stations reporting 25-30 percent increases. The Weather Channel was the most-viewed cable news network in the U.S. on Sunday, with one executive comparing Sandy to the Superbowl.
The Atlantic's three websites also saw record traffic. Two of the top three articles for the month of October here on Cities were Sandy-related.
1. Construction workers.
The construction industry is about three or four times more volatile than the market, and since 2008, construction has been down 50 to 60 percent nationwide. As The New York Times reports, the level of destruction to the housing stock is unequivocally a good thing for contractors – though they may have trouble replenishing a workforce that has diminished considerably over the last few years.
From broken windows and fallen trees to rebuilding thousands of damaged houses in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, the next year should be flush with new construction aided by billions of dollars in federal relief money. One contractor even told the paper, "I always look forward to a natural disaster."

When it comes to developing talent, there are many assessments that measure, for example, competencies and effectiveness at the individual level, or empowerment and overall engagement at the organization level. However, a critical and often unmeasured piece that lies in between is "the how," or the behaviors—the way people approach their work and interact with others. We measure all of the pieces, and therefore provide you with the complete picture.
Why do behaviors matter? Our research with thousands of organizations shows a positive relationship between the Constructive behaviors measured by HSI assessments and effectiveness at the individual, leader, group, and organizational levels. These links have been statistically demonstrated with results published in journals, including Psychological Reports, The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science, The Journal of International Management, and others.
By measuring human behavior at the individual, manager, leader, team, or organizational level, it becomes tangible; it becomes something that can be described and made specific. Measurement of behavior gives organizations:
We help organizations, teams, and individuals understand what they have not been able to understand in the past. We provide people with information that they would not otherwise have. In this way we help individuals, teams, and organizations obtain more control of their present and their future.
We believe that in measuring behaviors, it's not enough to simply provide a measure of the current state; such measurement must also provide guidance as to cause and what must be done to make progress. Measuring the current state without any inherent prescription is no more than going to the doctor and being told you have a temperature. In such a situation you would want to know what caused it and what to do about it.
To achieve this, considerable research is required. Our commitment to this is absolute. Robert A. Cooke, Ph.D. has participated in and supervised numerous academic research projects validating the reliability of Human Synergistics International's assessments. With more than 500 universities and teaching institutions using our materials, we know they work.
See Research Articles
Our strength lies in providing valid and reliable assessments that reveal valuable information for confidently directing and designing improvement strategies.
Having supported the development of millions of individuals and thousands of organizations, HSI is truly having a global impact. Join us in our mission of Changing the World—One Organization at a Time®.

Its name is a homaging reference to its predecessor: the long-deprecated Bourne shell. Bash can be run on most UNIX-like operating systems, including GNU/Linux. Arch copiously uses Bash throughout its init-scripts.

Bash behaviour can be altered depending on how it is invoked. Some descriptions of different modes follow.
Login shell
If Bash is spawned by
login in a tty, by an SSH daemon, or similar means, it is considered a login shell. This mode can also be engaged using the
-l or
--login command line options.
Interactive shell
Bash is considered an interactive shell if it is started neither with the
-c option nor any non-option arguments, and whose standard input and error are connected to terminals.
POSIX compliance
Bash can be run with enhanced POSIX compliance by starting Bash with the
--posix command-line option or executing '
set -o posix' while Bash is running.
Legacy mode
In Arch
/bin/sh (which used to be the Bourne shell executable) is symlinked to
If Bash is invoked with the name
sh, it tries to mimic the startup behavior of historical versions of
sh as closely as possible, while conforming to the POSIX standard as well.
In this mode, Bash sources the startup files and then enters POSIX compliance.
Configuration file overview
/etc/bash.bashrc(Non-standard: only some distros, Arch included)
An overview of the commonly used configuration files:
/etc/profile is sourced by all Bourne-compatible shells upon login. It sets up an environment upon login and loads application-specific (
/etc/profile.d/*.sh) settings.
This file is read and sourced by bash when an interactive login shell is started.
The file
~/.bashrc is read and sourced by bash when a non-login interactive shell is started, for example, when you open a virtual console from the desktop environment. This file is useful for setting up a user-specific shell environment.
Configuration file sourcing order at startup
These files are sourced by bash in different circumstances.
- if interactive + login shell →
/etc/profilethen the first readable of
~/.bash_login, and
- Bash will source
~/.bash_logoutupon exit.
- Bash will source
- if interactive + non-login shell →
- if login shell + legacy mode →
But, in Arch, by default:
/etc/profile(indirectly) sources
/etc/skel/.bash_profilewhich users are encouraged to copy to
~/.bash_profile, sources
which means that
/etc/bash.bashrc and
~/.bashrc will be executed for all interactive shells, whether they are login shells or not.
Examples of the user dotfiles can be found in
Shell and environment variables
The behavior of bash and programs run by it can be influenced by a number of environment variable. Environment variables are used to store useful values such as command search directories, or which browser to use. When a new shell or script is launched it inherits its parent's variables, thus starting with an internal set of shell variables[1].
These shell variables in bash can be exported in order to become environment variables:
VARIABLE=content export VARIABLE
or with a shortcut
export VARIABLE=content
Environment variables are conventionally placed in
~/.profile or
/etc/profile so that all bourne-compatible shells can use them.
See Environment Variables for more general information.
Command line
Bash command line is managed by the separate library called Readline. Readline provides a lot of shortcuts for interacting with the command line i.e. moving back and forth on the word basis, deleting words etc. It is also Readline's responsibility to manage history of input commands. Last, but not least, it allows you to create macros.
alias is a command, which enables a replacement of a word with another string. It is often used for abbreviating a system command, or for adding default arguments to a regularly used command.
Personal aliases are preferably stored in
~/.bashrc, and system-wide aliases (which affect all users) belong in
An example excerpt from
~/.bashrc covering several time-saving aliases:
# modified commands alias diff='colordiff' # requires colordiff package alias grep='grep --color=auto' alias more='less' alias df='df -h' alias du='du -c -h' alias mkdir='mkdir -p -v' alias nano='nano -w' alias ping='ping -c 5' alias ..='cd ..' # new commands alias da='date "+%A, %B %d, %Y [%T]"' alias du1='du --max-depth=1' alias hist='history | grep $1' # requires an argument alias openports='netstat --all --numeric --programs --inet --inet6' alias pg='ps -Af | grep $1' # requires an argument (note: /usr/bin/pg is installed by the util-linux package; maybe a different alias name should be used) # privileged access if [ $UID -ne 0 ]; then alias sudo='sudo ' alias scat='sudo cat' alias svim='sudo vim' alias root='sudo su' alias reboot='sudo reboot' alias halt='sudo halt' alias update='sudo pacman -Su' alias netcfg='sudo netcfg2' fi # ls alias ls='ls -hF --color=auto' alias lr='ls -R' # recursive ls alias ll='ls -l' alias la='ll -A' alias lx='ll -BX' # sort by extension alias lz='ll -rS' # sort by size alias lt='ll -rt' # sort by date alias lm='la | more' # safety features alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' alias rm='rm -I' # 'rm -i' prompts for every file alias ln='ln -i' alias chown='chown --preserve-root' alias chmod='chmod --preserve-root' alias chgrp='chgrp --preserve-root' # pacman aliases (if applicable, replace 'pacman' with your favorite AUR helper) alias pac="pacman -S" # default action - install one or more packages alias pacu="pacman -Syu" # '[u]pdate' - upgrade all packages to their newest version alias pacs="pacman -Ss" # '[s]earch' - search for a package using one or more keywords alias paci="pacman -Si" # '[i]nfo' - show information about a package alias pacr="pacman -R" # '[r]emove' - uninstall one or more packages alias pacl="pacman -Sl" # '[l]ist' - list all packages of a repository alias pacll="pacman -Qqm" # '[l]ist [l]ocal' - list all packages which were locally installed (e.g. AUR packages) alias paclo="pacman -Qdt" # '[l]ist [o]rphans' - list all packages which are orphaned alias paco="pacman -Qo" # '[o]wner' - determine which package owns a given file alias pacf="pacman -Ql" # '[f]iles' - list all files installed by a given package alias pacc="pacman -Sc" # '[c]lean cache' - delete all not currently installed package files alias pacm="makepkg -fci" # '[m]ake' - make package from PKGBUILD file in current directory
Bash also support functions. The following function will extract a wide range of compressed file types. Add the function to
~/.bashrc and use it with the syntax
extract <file1> <file2> ...
extract() { local c e i (($#)) || return for i; do c='' e=1 if [[ ! -r $i ]]; then echo "$0: file is unreadable: \`$i'" >&2 continue fi case $i in *.t@(gz|lz|xz|b@(2|z?(2))|a@(z|r?(.@(Z|bz?(2)|gz|lzma|xz))))) c='bsdtar xvf';; *.7z) c='7z x';; *.Z) c='uncompress';; *.bz2) c='bunzip2';; *.exe) c='cabextract';; *.gz) c='gunzip';; *.rar) c='unrar x';; *.xz) c='unxz';; *.zip) c='unzip';; *) echo "$0: unrecognized file extension: \`$i'" >&2 continue;; esac command $c "$i" e=$? done return $e }
shopt -s extglob, for example by adding it to the
.bashrc. It is enabled by default if using Bash completion. Zsh users should do:
setopt kshglob instead.
Another way to do this is to install unp package.
More bash function examples can be found here.
Tips and tricks
Prompt customization
The bash prompt is governed by the variable
$PS1. To colorize the bash prompt, first comment out the default
#PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
Then add the following line:
PS1='\[\e[0;31m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\w\[\e[m\] \[\e[0;31m\]\$ \[\e[m\]\[\e[0;32m\] '
$PS1 is useful for a root bash prompt, with red designation and green console text. For details on customizing your bash prompt, see Color Bash Prompt.
It is useful to have the auto-complete feature (pressing Template:Keypress key twice on the keyboard) after you type some command like sudo.
To do this add a line in this format to your
~/.bashrc file:
complete -cf your_command
For example, to enable auto-complete after sudo and man:
complete -cf sudo complete -cf man
Advanced completion
Despite Bash's native support for basic file name, command, and variable auto-completion, there are ways of improving and extending its reach.
The bash-completion package extends functionality by adding auto-completion to a wide range of commands and their options. Enabling advanced bash completion is quite simple, just install the following package:
# pacman -S bash-completion
Start a new shell and it will be automatically enabled thanks to
Faster completion
By appending the following into the readline initialization file (
~/.inputrc or
/etc/inputrc by default):
set show-all-if-ambiguous on
it is no longer necessary to hit Template:Keypress (default binding) twice to produce a list of all possible completions (both when a partial completion is possible and when no completion is possible), as a single key-press will suffice. Alternatively, to produce such a list only when no completion is possible (i.e., not when a partial completion is possible), append the following command in lieu of the previous one:
set show-all-if-unmodified on
Disable Ctrl+z in terminal
You can disable Template:Keypress (pauses/closes your CLI application) feature for you CLI by wrapping your command in this script
#!/bin/bash trap "" 20 /path_to_your_application/
#!/bin/bash trap "" 20 /usr/bin/adom
With this example script, when you accidentally press Template:Keypress instead of Template:Keypress or some other key combination while playing Adom(game) your game will not end. Nothing will happen because Template:Keypress will be ignored.
Clear the screen after logging out
To clear the screen after logging out on a virtual terminal, append the following lines to
clear reset
ASCII art, fortunes and cowsay
Along with colors, system info and ASCII symbols, Bash can be made to display a piece of ASCII art on login. ASCII images can be found online and pasted into a text file, or generated from scratch. To set the image to display in a terminal on login, place the string
cat /path/to/text/file
at the top of
Random poignant, inspirational, silly or snide phrases can also be shown. To see an example, install the fortune-mod package from the
extra repository.
(user@host)-(10:10 AM Wed Dec 22) --(~)---> fortune
It is Texas law that when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.
To have a random phrase displayed when logging into a terminal, just set
command fortune
as the top line in
fortune displays quotes and phrases that are rather inoccuous. However, the package does contain a set of comments some will find offensive, located in
/usr/share/fortune/off. See the man page for more info on these.
These two features can be combined, using the program cowsay. Modify the line at the top of
~/.bashrc to read
command cowsay $(fortune)
command cowthink $(fortune)
The earth is like a tiny grain of sand, only much, much heavier. ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
The ASCII images are generated by
.cow text files located in
/usr/share/cows, and all themes can be listed with the command
cowsay -l These files can be edited to the user's liking; custom images can also be created from scratch or found on the net. The easiest way create a custom cow file from an image found online would be to open an existing
.cow file in a text editor, copy-and-paste the image from a browser and save the file as a different name. Test the custom file using
# cowsay -f
cowfile $(fortune)
This can produce some nice eye candy, and the commands used can be more complex. For a specialized example, take a look here. Another example, to use a random cow, random facial expression, and nicely wrap the text of long fortunes.
fortune -a | fmt -80 -s | cowsay -$(shuf -n 1 -e b d g p s t w y) -f $(shuf -n 1 -e $(cowsay -l | tail -n +2)) -n

ASCII Historical Calendar
To install calendar files in your
~/.calendar directory you will need the rpmextract package installed. Then from your home directory, run the following:
$ mkdir -p ~/.calendar $ curl -o calendar.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/calendar-1.25-4.el5.x86_64.rpm $ rpm2cpio calendar.rpm | bsdtar -C ~/.calendar --strip-components=4 -xf - ./usr/share/c*
This will then print out the calendar items
$ sed -n "/$(date +%m\\/%d\\\|%b\*\ %d)/p" $(find ~/.calendar /usr/share/calendar -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'c*' 2>/dev/null);
Customise Title
$PROMPT_COMMAND variable allows you to execute a command before the prompt. For example, this will change the title to your full current working directory:
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;$PWD\007"'
This will change your title to the last command run, and make sure your history file is always up-to-date:
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth export HISTIGNORE='history*' export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a;echo -en "\e]2;";history 1|sed "s/^[ \t]*[0-9]\{1,\} //g";echo -en "\e\\";
Fix line wrap on window resize
When you resize your xterm in vi for example, Bash will not get the resize signal, and the text you type will not wrap correctly, overlapping the prompt.
Use the following in your
/etc/bash.bashrc (from Debian) :
# check the window size after each command and, if necessary, # update the values of LINES and COLUMNS. shopt -s checkwinsize
Bash history completion
Bash history completion bound to arrow keys (down, up):
# ~/.bashrc bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward' bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward'
or equivalently in
# ~/.inputrc "\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward

The G30-900 will likely be particularly interesting for BoostAddict readers:
The G30-900 is a 900HP Capable turbocharger developing this power from a 76mm compressor wheel - no turbo manufacturer has anything in their arsenal with this capability or even close to this unless you go 4family sizes larger! The turbine wheel remains the same being 55mm exducer with a 60mm inducer - the direct comparison size for size is the Precision 5862 which makes a mere claimed 700HP - which is nowhere close to the G30-900. The only Precision turbo that can produce the same power output is the 6466 which has three times the lag and twice the physical dimensions and weight!
Also to be noted is the physical size is much smaller meaning tight engine bays trying to fit a powerful turbo may have their dream solution here.

How It Works
• Our combination of primary nutrients , natural extracts and pH buffers keep nutrients fully water soluble and available to plants.
• Ideal for all hydroponic applications and as a nutrient supplement for potted plants.
Use Perfect Mix™ Bloom on all stages of vegetative growth
- Cuttings & Seedlings
- General Purpose – Mild Vegetative
- Aggressive Vegetative Growth
- Transition to Bloom
- Blooming & Ripening
Directions for use:
COMPATIBILITY: Perfect Mix™ Bloom formula may be applied separately or in conjunction with most pesticides and with other fertilizers. The addition of wetting agents often enhances nutrient uptake. DO NOT use with basic metal sulfates, strongly alkaline materials (such as hydrated lime and lime sulfur), or spray oils. A compatibility test is recommended. Tank mixtures with copper-based products can be phytotoxic due to increased solubility of copper. Before general applications, apply the spray solution to a small test area of the foliage to determine any undesirable phytotoxic effects.
For best results:
- Use a conductivity or ppm meter to monitor water quality and control nutrient strength. Drain, discard and replace nutrient every week or two to prevent nutrient imbalance.
- Maintain nutrient pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Adjustment may be necessary since water quality and pH vary both regionally and seasonally.
- Refer to the Basic Applications Table for mixing recommendations. Please measure accurately. Reduce nutrient strength if plants show signs of stress, or if growing in very bright, hot or dry environments.
SHAKE WELL BEFORE MIXING. Always add Perfect Mix™ BLOOM formula to fresh water first and stir well, then add other nutrients or pesticides. Never combine Perfect Mix™ BLOOM with other nutrients or pesticides in undiluted form; doing so may cause nutrient lockout making some minerals unavailable during budding and flowering cycle. Do Not Spray Under Direct Sunlight or Grow Lamps.
This product should be used as part of a complete nutrient program
This product is concentrated to the limit of solubility. Protect from freezing and direct sunlight. If crystallization occurs, mix entire contents with an equal amount of hot water and double the amount used.

Tour de France: Navardauskas wins Stage 19
Recommended Video:
BERGERAC, France >> Ramunas Navardauskas of Lithuania led a late breakaway in a downpour to win the 19th Stage of the Tour de France on Friday after hitching a ride with his Garmin-Sharp teammates.
Italy's Vincenzo Nibali retained the overall leader's yellow jersey and is expected to take it home with him when the three-week cycling showcase ends Sunday. His lead of more than seven minutes over his closest challenger is so big that only a racing disaster could strip him of it.
Navardauskas stole away from the pack late in the 208.5-kilometer (129.5-mile) trek from Maubourguet to Bergerac in southwest France. He looked back over his shoulder, kissed his fingers and raised his arms in victory, with a bunch of sprinters barreling behind him. They crossed seven seconds later, and the stragglers followed.
The 26-year-old Garmin-Sharp rider became the first Lithuanian to win an individual stage at cycling's greatest race, and gave his team its first stage win this Tour. In 2011, he was on the Garmin-Cervelo squad that won the team time trial at the Tour that year, and he also won a stage in last year's Italian Giro.
Garmin-Sharp made the win a team effort.
First, Dutch rider Tom-Jelte Slagter joined a five-man breakaway early on, then sped ahead alone. Alex Howes of the United States helped pull the Lithuanian up front, before Navardauskas went away solo with about 13 kilometers (8 miles) left.
"I gave it all. My teammates worked really hard for me," said Navardauskas. "I took a risk — you have to try — and it worked."
The performance offered some vindication for Garmin-Sharp, which has had a rough Tour. First, team leader Andrew Talansky of the U.S. pulled out before Stage 12 due to pain from crashes. Three stages later, New Zealand's Jack Bauer cried at the finish line after looking back over his shoulder in the last several seconds only to see the pack deprive him of a long-breakaway victory with just meters to go.
"I was just hoping that it would not happen the same way as Jack. To the last 10 meters, I was afraid to turn back," said Navardauskas. "I had no idea what was happening behind me."
Within the last few kilometers, around a dozen riders crashed together while trying to turn rightward on the rain-slickened roads. Among them were Slovak rider Peter Sagan, who has the green jersey given to the race's best sprinter, and Romain Bardet, who is fifth overall.
Fellow Frenchman Jean-Christophe Peraud, who is third, briefly got delayed. Under course rules, because the crash happened in the last 3 kilometers (2 miles), nobody who got ensnared in it lost time in the title chase.
The top standings didn't change. The race's final shakeout comes Saturday with this year's only individual time trial. Nibali leads his closest rival by more than seven minutes, but the quest for the last two podium spots is tight. Only 15 seconds separates second-placed Thibaut Pinot, Peraud and Alejandro Valverde in fourth.
The rolling race-against-the-clock from Bergerac to Perigueux is relatively long by Tour standards at 54 kilometers (33.5 miles). The discipline will require riders to pace themselves, maintain a steady rhythm and face the elements like wind or rain on their own — without the protection of the pack.
In reverse order of the standings, riders are to set off one-by-one down the starter's ramp at several-minute intervals over more than six hours on Saturday.
Cheng Ji of Giant-Shimano, who is competing in his first Tour and is the first rider ever from China to compete in the race, will go first. Nibali goes last.

Hello, I ran an EFA and RMSEA = .061 but not as interprtar following "Probability RMSEA <= .05 p= 0.081"
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, March 28, 2013 - 3:52 pm
The value 0.05 is often used as a limit that a good model should not exceed. This output says that with your estimate of 0.061, the probability is only 0.081 that this estimate is less than 0.05 and you have a good enough model in this sense.

Thank you for your prompt response.
I understand how to interpret the value of RMSEA. Does the probability associated with RMSEA is recommended to be less than p = .05?
Linda K. Muthen

You want the probability of RMSEA being less than .05 to be high.
Cesar Daniel Costa Ball
posted on Friday, March 29, 2013 - 6:41 pm
When Chi square is higher than 0.05, and CFI / TLI are higher than 0.95 and RMASEA has a value less than 0.05, usually associated to the probability value is higher 0.05 RMASEA. Am I correct? Am I playing well the value and probability of RAMSEA?
The value must be less than 0.05 and also see that the probability is higher than 0.05, to accept the null hypothesis. Is this correct?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Saturday, March 30, 2013 - 6:33 am
Note that the chi square p-value should be lower than 0.05, not higher than 0.05.
I think you would want the probability that RMSEA is lower than 0.05 to be higher than 0.05, but see the original articles on RMSEA.

Dear Mr. Muthen,
I found this thread by accident, but thought I should drop this clarifying question regarding your reply above.
Shouldn't the chi-square of the model fit be non-significant, i.e. with a p-value greater than 0.05? The one that should have a p-value lower than 0.05, i.e. significant, is not the chi-square of the baseline model?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - 11:47 am
I think there was some confusion in this interchange talking about (1) chi-square test of overall model fit and (2) p-value for RMSEA being less than 0.05.
Regarding (1), you want a p-value of at least 0.05 for a model to not be rejected.
Regarding (2), you want a rather high p-value.

Thanks Dr Muthen, this was precisely the carification I was thinking of. Quite helpful.

Monopolies, Retransmission Fees, and Screwing Customers
There's been a battle going on between the "broadcast" TV networks and the cable networks over something called "retransmission fees." Cable networks have traditionally paid for "cable network programming" but not "over the air programming." But that is changing and the broadcast TV networks are demanding these retransmission fees from the cable companies.
At the end of last year, there was a fight between Fox and Time Warner Cable that made some headlines. It was settled on new year's day.
The latest spat is between ABC/Disney and Cablevision and it has turned personal, pitting Disney's chief Bob Iger against Cablevision's chief James Dolan.
Of course, the losers in all of these spats are the consumers who get jerked around and risk missing things they love like the college bowl games or the Oscars. Most of these spats get settled at the last minute, but the whole exercise gives everyone a black eye.
The reason we have to put up with nonsense like this is that cable providers are still operating near monopolies. There are other options like satellite TV or services like Verizon FIOS. But most consumers get their video services from the incumbent cable provider.
And when a content provider, like ABC or Fox, wants to get more money for its programming and the cable company balks, it is the cable company's customers who are stuck.
There's a better way and we'll have it someday, but not soon enough for me. We'll go "over the top" for our video programming, getting it via a broadband connection to the Internet. Content owners like Fox and ABC will negotiate distribution deals with dozens, maybe hundreds of providers. And we'll be able to subscribe to one or more of those providers over the internet through platforms like Apple TV, our portfolio company Boxee, and many others.
When ABC wants more money from it's distribution partners in this scenario, some will pay up and others will not. And if you want to watch the Oscars, you'll simply be able to drop your subscription to one provider, light up another, and/or possibly get it directly from ABC if you want to.
Most industries work that way today. Walmart might stop carrying Puma Sneakers but you can certainly find them in hundreds of other physical and online stores if you want a sweet pair of Clydes. A three tier distribution model from the manufacturer to the distributor to the retailer works very well to insure that there is always product available in the market to customers who want it. And I believe we are going to see that model develop in the TV (and Film) business soon.

Why David Price may never sign a $200 million contract
Reigning AL Cy Young winner David Price is still two years away from free agency. (AP)
In the wake of Felix Hernandez's $175 million contract becoming a reality, I examined the likelihood of Justin Verlander or Clayton Kershaw becoming the first pitcher to cross the $200 million threshold. No deal is imminent for either ace, since neither will hit free agency until after the 2014 season, and a lot can happen — for better or worse — that could change their trajectories towards such a high figure. Toward the end of the piece, I noted the presence of one other potential $200 million man on the radar: David Price. If he reaches that threshold, it will almost certainly be to wear a different uniform — though even then, the odds appear to be stacked against him, because the possibility exists that he's peaked too early for such a scenario to play out.
The 27-year-old Rays lefty is coming off his best season to date, one in which he won the AL Cy Young award while leading the league in wins (20) and ERA (2.56) and ranking second in Wins Above Replacement (6.4; Baseball-Reference.com version). He struck out more than 200 hitters for the second straight season, made the All-Star team for the third year in a row and proved that his big 2010 season (19 wins, 2.72 ERA, 4.4 WAR, runner-up to Hernandez in the Cy Young voting) was no fluke. But if history holds, he won't be a Ray forever, and he's already mused openly about the possibility of free agency, despite his comfort in Tampa Bay. As he told Yahoo! Sports' Tim Brown last month:
"But I don't want to sell myself short. I don't want to mess up for the future of other guys that could be in my position as well. That's something you have to look out for. We are a brotherhood as MLB players."
Brown noted that Price's agent, Bo McKinness, told reporters, "He wants to have the best contract in baseball, however that may be defined." Unless he follows the Jered Weaver route — signing a contract far below market value to remain in a comfortable and competitive situation — such a statement doesn't bode well for an extended stay in Tampa Bay.
Price is further from free agency than either Verlander or Kershaw; as a Super Two, he has two more years of arbitration eligibility remaining, which means that the earliest he would hit the market is after the 2015 season. The Rays' recent past suggests that he may be on the move by then. Unlike former teammate James Shields, he's on a year-to-year basis, contract-wise, having opted out of the final year of the club-friendly six-year, $8.5 million deal he signed upon being drafted first overall in 2007. He made $4.35 million last year, a big boost from the $1.5 million he would have made under the terms of the original deal, and will make $10.1125M this year, a record for any second-year arbitration-eligible pitcher, blowing by the $7.37 million Weaver made in 2011. His current salary makes him the highest-paid player in Rays history, an honor he's likely to hold onto until at least 2015, when Evan Longoria is scheduled to make $11 million.
Longoria, of course, is bound to Tampa Bay for a good long time via a six-year, $100 million extension that runs from 2017-2022, after his current nine-year, $45 million deal (originally six years and $17.5 million plus three additional option years and an escalator clause) runs its course. Though Price is just as much a face-of-the-franchise type player, he hasn't entered into another long-term deal with the cash-strapped Rays, and the team sounds realistic about its ability to keep him.
In recent years, the Rays have allowed outfielders Carl Crawford and B.J. Upton to depart as free agents, but they've been more proactive about moving their frontline pitchers before they reach the market due to their considerable organizational depth. They traded Scott Kazmir to the Angels in August 2009, with two seasons and a club option still to go on a three-year, $28.5 million deal signed in 2008, a move that set the stage for Wade Davis to join the rotation. They traded Matt Garza to the Cubs in January 2011, with three seasons of arbitration eligibility remaining; like Price, he was a Super Two. That move set the stage for Jeremy Hellickson to join the rotation, and he went on to win Rookie of the Year honors. They traded Shields to the Royals in December with two years of club control remaining via the affordable club options tacked onto a four-year contract that ran from 2008-2011, and that will wind up valued at $38 million over seven years. That deal also included Davis, who spent 2010 and 2011 in Tampa Bay's rotation before moving to the bullpen last year; he has three years remaining on a four-year, $12.6 million deal that also includes three club options. The Garza and Shields/Davis deals netted the Rays impressive hauls that together account for four of the top five prospects on Baseball Prospectus' recently released Top Ten list in outfielder Wil Myers (1st, from Royals), righty Chris Archer (2nd, via Cubs), shortstop Hak-Ju Lee (4th, Cubs) and righty Jake Odorizzi (5th, Royals).
Those deals are allowing the organization to replenish itself despite a lull in their drafting prowess, one largely borne of their own success. According to Baseball America, the Rays haven't graduated a single pick from their last five drafts (2008-2012) to the majors; Price and Matt Moore (an eighth round 2007 pick) are the most recent ones. In 2008, they chose shortstop Tim Beckham at first overall, bypassing Buster Posey (chosen fifth by the Giants) as well as eight other top 10 picks that have reached the majors so far. Beckham has plodded through the system and missed 50 games last year due to a suspension for marijuana use, though he's likely to debut in the majors sometime this year. Bumped from the first pick of the draft to 30th on the heels of the franchise's surprising trip to the World Series, the team failed to sign its top two picks in 2009, while its top 2010 pick, outfielder Josh Sale, served a 50-game suspension for a substance abuse violation this past year, interrupting an otherwise solid season in A-ball. Only one 2010 pick, supplemental first-rounder Drew Vettleson (an outfielder), is on the BP top 10 list.
Despite that lull, the Garza and Shields/Davis trades have given the team two candidates (Archer and Odorizzi) to challenge Alex Cobb and Jeff Niemann for the right to round out the rotation behind Price, Moore and Hellickson. A trade of Niemann, who has one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining, could be on the horizon, and the team is said to have explored the market for Hellickson before trading Shields.
Given his resume, it's Price who would fetch the biggest haul via trade, one that could surpass the Shields/Davis package — headlined by Baseball America's Minor League Player of the Year (Myers) with the near-ready Odorizzi, formerly well-regarded pitching prospect Mike Montgomery and longshot infielder Patrick Leonard — as well as that of R.A. Dickey. Coming off the NL Cy Young award, with one year of club control and a $5 million contract for 2013, Dickey netted the Mets near-ready catcher Travis d'Arnaud (14th on the top 100 list of ESPN's Keith Law — neither Baseball Prospectus nor Baseball America have released theirs yet), A-ball power righty Noah Syndergaard (97th on Law's list, said to be much higher on at least one of the others) and 18-year-old outfielder/lottery ticket Wuilmer Becerra (three catchers changed sides in the deal). If he were to be dealt now, Price would at least net a top 10 prospect and probably much more, though whether that means another elite prospect or an established major leaguer depends on the Rays' dance partner.
The possibility of one such deal was floated recently, in which the Rangers would trade shortstop Jurickson Profar — number one on Law's list (and likely others as well), but blocked by Elvis Andrus — to Tampa Bay in a deal for Price. Asked about whether that was a fair deal, Law told Dallas radio station KESN that he felt the Rays would have to offer more, given Profar's six years of club control — three very cheap — versus Price's three much more expensive ones. Law said he couldn't actually see such a deal between the two teams going down given the perceived value of the pitcher, and the likelihood that Tampa Bay would seek a team more willing to overpay, as Kansas City appears to have done for Shields and Davis.
As was the case in the Dickey deal, if Price is traded, it might be on the condition of the pitcher agreeing to an extension with his new team within a 72-hour window. It's unlikely that a $200 million pact could be hammered out on such short notice, though; more likely, his new team would target an extension covering the remainder of his arbitration eligibility, plus at least a year of free agency, which would of course defer an even bigger payday, and could cede the race to $200 million to somebody else if it hasn't been won by then. With the recent retirement of 2006 NL Cy Young winner Brandon Webb offering the latest cautionary tale, Price may opt to use his robust health and existing leverage toward the certainty of an intermediate deal. Webb won his award in the first year of a four-year, $19.5 million deal that included just one game pitched in the final year — which would have been his first year of free agent eligibility — due to a frayed labrum, though the Diamondbacks followed that by picking up an $8.5 million option for 2010 that covered only a frustrating cycle of rehab and retreat, without even a minor league appearance to show.

Peter Lanza meets with Sandy Hook commission chairman
The father of the Sandy Hook Elementary School murderer met for an hour Thursday with the chairman of the state commission investigating the massacre and agreed to help find missing school and medical records that could provide further insight into the tragedy.
Peter Lanza -- a General Electric executive whose son Adam killed his mother, 20 first-graders and six adults on Dec. 14, 2012 -- agreed to help the commission seek out the people, including Newtown Public School officials and mental health professionals, who treated and diagnosed the troubled youth.
Hamden Mayor Scott Jackson, the chairman of the governor's 16-member Sandy Hook Advisory Commission, said the one-on-one meeting, in an undisclosed Stamford location, was "cordial, business-like and friendly."
Jackson declined to describe Lanza's demeanor, but said it was clear it was important to Lanza that as much information as possible emerge from his son's shooting spree.
Lanza wanted Adam's school, medical and psychological records made public in order to replace speculation with information.
"He believes that retroactive psychoanalysis is fraught with danger," Jackson said.
Lanza, through a spokesman, had no comment.
"He thinks that it is very important to tell the story in a fact-based, contextual way," Jackson said in an interview. "He wants to help the commission meet its objectives."
Jackson said it appears that crucial, first-hand documents were "scattered" among law enforcement agencies, including State Police, the FBI and Stephen J. Sedensky III, the state's attorney for the Judicial District of Danbury.
"We have to literally read between the lines," Jackson said of the highly redacted state police report released last month, as well as an earlier report by Sedensky.
Commission members have been critical of the form of the 6,700 pages of investigative documents, including doctors' interviews, released last month by State Police. Other primary research was alluded to in reports, but not provided, panel members have complained.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy appointed the commission a year ago to develop public policy on several issues in response to murders, including school safety, gun control and mental health. The group includes psychiatrists, public safety experts, a Newtown teacher and social service providers.
Jackson expects to provide more details to the commission when they meet Friday at 10 a.m. in the state Capitol complex.

The Department of Defense, for one, has made considerable progress since receiving its barely passing grade. MITRE, a Massachusetts-based technology think tank, has completed an evaluation of Defense systems and made a series of recommendations. And according to the Defense Department's Year 2000 program coordinator Carla von Bernewitz, the department is now well into the assessment stage, with "pockets of the DOD already involved in testing."
One move toward a more unified federal response has been the establishment of a General Services Administration Web site. The site operates as the government's Year 2000 clearinghouse, with background information, contact names, vendor/contract data and conference schedules available for department and agency use.

St. Luke's football team shut down by Rye Country Day
NEW CANAAN -- It wasn't quite the Homecoming Day they were looking for.
"We all laid an egg on Homecoming. It was difficult to watch," said St. Luke's football head coach Noel Thomas Sr. following his team's 21-0 loss to Rye Country Day Saturday at Watson Field at Pedrick Stadium. "It was the last Homecoming for our seniors. But it missed the mark."
Indeed. Rye Country Day (3-1 overall, 2-0 Fairchester Athletic Association) punished St. Luke's on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
Rye Country Day used a variation of Navy's winged-T, three-back rushing attack to dominate the time of possession.
With 5-foot-10, 200-pound junior running back Christian Pankey (29 carries, 157 yards, 3 TDs) leading the way, Rye Country Day amassed 250 yards rushing on 49 carries on the afternoon.
"That's our style. A bruising hybrid wing T running offense. All our opponents know what we're going to do," said Rye Country Day football head coach John Calandros. "But with three good running backs, the defense isn't quite sure who will be carrying the ball."
With sophomore quarterback Reed Connor handling the ball flawlessly but not running with it himself, senior Tyler Miller (12 carries, 85 yards) and Dylan Bronson (eight carries, eight yards) combined with Pankey to gash the St. Luke's defense.
Rye Country Day took control early, marching 70 yards on 10 plays for a 7-0 lead with 3:07 left in the first quarter. The lone pass in the drive was a 41-yard pass connection from QB Connor to 6-foot-3 wide receiver James McPhail on fourth down and six from the St. Luke's 45.
The Rye Country Day defense was very stingy. The Wildcats limited St. Luke's to 74 yards in total offense including a minus-9 passing. Rye Country Day stopped St. Luke's three times on fourth down and added a pair of interceptions in the fourth quarter.

"Our defense performed well," Calandros said. "We made big plays when we needed them."
Rye Country Day marched 59 yards in seven running plays to build a 14-0 lead just 5:25 before intermission.
There was no grand comeback in the second half for St. Luke's (1-5 overall, 5-game losing streak).
Freshman running back Justin Brown picked up 48 yards in five carries after intermission but that proved to be the Storm's lone silver lining.
Rye Country Day settled the issue with a 12-play, 47-yard drive that ate up 9:30 on the clock. Pankey's eight-yard TD burst and Henry Alderson-Smith's third conversion kick made it 21-0 with 3:50 left to play.
St. Luke's hopes to regroup at home against Pennington High next week and on the road Nov. 9 at King School.
"The first thing we need to stop when things aren't going well is pointing fingers at each other," St. Luke's Thomas Sr. said. "We had some gritty losses (a one-point defeat and a pair of 4-point defeats) but today we were just flat. For some kids this is the first time they've lost this many games in a high school season. So we're learning lessons now. We have to get back to having fun as a football family. If we do that, we can start fresh and have maximum effort on the field."
Rye Country Day 21, St. Luke's 0
RCD -- Christian Pankey 1 run (Henry Alderson-Smith kick)
RCD -- Pankey 1 run (Alderson-Smith kick)
RCD -- Pankey 8 run (Alderson-Smith kick)
Records: Rye Country Day 3-1; St. Luke's 1-5.

(CNN) — A Mississippi woman whose death sentence was overturned has been moved from state prison to county jail, where she will await a new trial, authorities say.
Michelle Byrom was moved to Tishomingo County Jail on Saturday. The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed her capital murder conviction on March 31 and ordered a new trial.
Byrom was sentenced to death in 2000 after a jury determined she was the mastermind of a murder-for-hire plot to kill her allegedly abusive husband. Her son wrote in jailhouse letters that he committed the crime, and according to court documents, told a court-appointed psychologist that he was culprit.
According to Tishomingo County Sheriff Glenn Whitlock, Byrom was picked up by sheriff officials Saturday morning and is being held under the original capital murder indictment until the county district attorney or court system takes the next steps.
Whitlock told CNN that Byrom isn't receiving any special treatment, and she is currently alone in her cell, but could have cellmates at any time.
Byrom's new trial date has not been set yet, according to the Tishomingo County Circuit clerk.
The attorney who represented Byrom during the effort to have her conviction reversed no longer represents the 57-year-old. Efforts to reach her new counsel were not immediately successful.

Proper planter maintenance is critical for correctly placing expensive seed into the ground when planting begins. Farmers need to take care of the maintenance now before the planting window opens.
An expert in planter maintenance, service manager Phil Jennings with Kinze Manufacturing offers eight tips for proper planter maintenance:
1. Inspect soil-engaging components. "Consistent planter performance starts with a planter that is in good mechanical condition," Jennings says. "Make a close inspection of the soil-engaging components on the row units. Badly worn parts must be replaced or planter efficiency will be impaired."
2. Check disc opener blades. Farmers should check the wear on disc blades and replace 15-inch blades when they are worn to 14.5 inches in diameter. Inspect the disc blade contact, too. "Optimal disc blade contact is 1 to 1.5 inches to form the seed trench," Jennings says.
3. Inspect inner scraper. The inner scraper should protect the seed tube. "This prevents soil buildup between the opener blades," he adds. "Replace scrapers when they are worn to five-eighths inch or less."
4. Check gauge wheels. Look at the gauge wheels for light contact of the tire to blade in the operating position, Jennings says. He also recommends looking over the arm and bushings. Different field conditions can affect the depth adjustment of the planter. "Be sure to check and adjust the depth when field conditions change," he says.
5. Assess closing wheel performance. Closing wheels must be centered over the seed trench. "Apply only enough down pressure to maintain good seed-to-soil contact," Jennings says. Closing wheels may be offset slightly for better residue flow, he adds. If the closing wheel plugs with crop residue, the seed trench won't close properly. An optional closing wheel shield might be needed to help prevent stalks from lodging in the closing wheel arm.
6. Adjust hitch. "Hitch adjustment is another important factor of consistent seed depth, spacing and seed-to-soil contact," he says. "Adjust the hitch height so the tongue runs parallel to the ground when the planter is in planting position." The parallel arms of the row unit should be approximately level when the toolbar is 20 to 22 inches above the planting surface. On the planter's parallel arms, check the bolts, bushings, down-pressure springs and the drive chains to be sure all the parts are performing optimally.
7. Inspect other planter attachments. Inspecting no-till planter parts also is critical to optimizing planter efficiency. No-till coulters should be set at a depth slightly above the disc-opener blades. Residue wheels are intended to move obstacles in the path of the row unit. Residue wheels should be adjusted to just skim the planting surface and may not turn 100% of the time.
8. Conduct full field check. Always confirm what you "think" is happening with a full field check. It is not enough to just dig a few seeds up behind the planter. Jennings strongly recommends a full 1/1,000-acre field check when any settings or adjustments are made. For 30-inch rows, that is a 17.5-foot-row length. Tie up a set of closing wheels and drive ahead at planting speed. "Take the time to prove it to yourself that the job is getting done right," Jennings says. "The extra 15 minutes is an inexpensive insurance policy. Dirt is the real test." Farmers then can visibly see all of the critical factors for success, including consistent seed depth, seed spacing, and seed-to-soil contact.

Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a term used to describe an advanced technology that allows voice signals to be converted and transferred to high-speed networks. The primary benefit of using VoIP service in Clear Creek, WV is that it can be used anywhere the customer has a broadband connection. This means that business owners and frequent travelers can access their VoIP connections while on the move.
Customization is another benefit of using VoIP service in Clear Creek, WV. With traditional service and some wireless plans, customers are unable to choose their area code. With traditional providers, the area code is selected by the provider and is based on where the customer lives. Alternatively, VoIP service allows the customer to choose an area code that does not have to be tied to the location where they live. For some people, this provides the added flexibility of being able to make business calls from home.
In addition to being highly-customizable, VoIP phone service offers a bounty of features. In addition to unlimited calling, VoIP customers can enjoy popular features like caller ID, call waiting, international calling, call forwarding, three-way calling and much more. All of these features are included on plans starting as low as $5.99 a month. In fact, many VoIP customers find the service to be amazingly affordable and user-friendly.
The DSL phone service that is available in Clear Creek, WV is very fast because it's supported by copper lines. In many ways, the network is similar to traditional phone service, but the major differences are greater convenience and speed. DSL phone service uses a modem, and the modem is important because it allows customers to surf the Internet while talking on the phone. It's quite common for DSL providers to bundle Internet and phone services, which can help customers save money. The cost of DSL services can be very affordable, but some providers make customers sign a contract to get lower pricing. Although DSL phone service can be very affordable, it might not be the best choice.
When compared with a traditional phone service, DSL offers a major advantage. Unlike a regular phone service, DSL allows customers to talk on the phone while browsing the Internet. DSL is also significantly faster than dial-up Internet. Since DSL in Clear Creek, WV makes it easy to use simultaneously use the phone and Internet, it's almost always a better option than a traditional landline.
The only real downside of DSL service is the reliability. If a customer uses DSL phone service and lives far away from a provider, the reliability of the service will suffer. Customers who're over 18,000 feet away from the DSL service provider might not get any connection, and if many customers are using the same DSL service, the lines can become busy. In these situations, emergencies and holidays can be difficult.
A traditional home phone service is sometimes called a "standard," "landline" or "PSTN" service. It's the most straightforward type of service available in Clear Creek, WV, as it only requires a phone to be plugged into a wall jack in the home. Calls are carried by a network of cables. For several decades after the telephone was first invented, traditional phone service was the only option that home users could choose from. Due to advances in technology, there are now many other service types that are increasingly being favored by consumers. Many people, especially those in the younger generation, prefer a wireless phone service instead.
Even though it relies on a technology that has existed for well over a century, traditional phone service is very reliable and offers excellent call clarity. Reports of technical problems with traditional service are fewer than with options relying on more recent advancements in technology, which is its biggest advantage. It does come with a few disadvantages. A regular phone service is only available inside the subscriber's home and cannot be used on the go, unlike wireless and most VoIP services. It can also be relatively expensive. The most reputable landline phone service providers in Clear Creek, WV, charge an average of $49.99 per month.
Many customers are embracing technology by shifting to wireless home phone services. It is the most common phone service in this century. Their clients choose whether to be on a postpaid or a prepaid payment plan. Wireless phone services providers offer their customers incredible features. Customers in Clear Creek, WV, get to enjoy additional features like caller ID and voicemail services with a wireless plan. Moreover, the customers get to experience the latest technologies in the phone industry such as a mobile hotspot. Use Wirefly to compare cell phone plans in Clear Creek, WV to find the best plan for you.

Warning: This one of those does-anyone-know-how-to-fix-this-vague-problem questions, and not an actual mathematics question at all.
If $X$ is a scheme of finite type over a finite field, then the zeta function $Z(X,t)$ lies in $1+t\mathbf{Z}[[t]]$. We can calculate the zeta function of a disjoint union by the formula $Z(X\amalg Y,t)=Z(X,t)Z(Y,t)$. There is also a formula for $Z(X\times Y,t)$ in terms of $Z(X,t)$ and $Z(Y,t)$, but this is slightly more complicated. In fact, these two formulas are precisely the standard big Witt vector addition and multiplication law on the set $1+t\mathbf{Z}[[t]]$. (Actually, there's more than one standard normalization, so you have to get the right one. I believe this ring structure was first written down by Grothendieck in his appendix to Borel-Serre, but I don't know who first made the connection with the ring of Witt vectors as defined earlier by Witt.) If we let $K_0$ be the Grothendieck group on the isomorphism classes of such schemes, where addition is disjoint union and multiplication is cartesian product, then we get a ring map $K_0\to 1+t\mathbf{Z}[[t]]$. We could also do all this with the L-factor $L(X,s)=Z(X,q^{-s})$ (where $q$ is the cardinality of the finite field) instead of the zeta function. This is because they determine each other.
This is all good. The problem I have is when there is bad reduction. So now let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over $\mathbf{Q}$ (say). Then the L-factor $L_p(X,s)$ is defined by $$L_p(X,s)=\mathrm{det}(1-F_p p^{-s}|H(X,\mathbf{Q}_{\ell})^{I_p}),$$ where $I_p$ is the inertia group at $p$. (Sorry, I'm not going to explain the rest of the notation.) If $I$ acts trivially (in which case one might say $X$ has good reduction), then taking invariants under $I$ does nothing, and so as above, the L-factor of a product and sum of varieties is determined by the individual L-factors. If $I$ does not act trivially, then the L-factor of a sum is again the product of the individual L-factors, but for products there is no such formula! (The following should be an example showing this. Take $X=\mathrm{Spec}\ \mathbf{Q}(i)$, $Y=\mathrm{Spec}\ \mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{2})$. The we have the following Euler factors at 2: $L_2(X,s)=L_2(Y,s)=L_2(X\times Y,s)=1-2^{-s}$ and $L_2(X\times X,s)=(1-2^{-s})^2$. So the L-factors of two schemes do not determine that of the product.) Therefore the usual Euler factor cannot possibly give a ring map defined on the Grothendieck ring of varieties over $\mathbf{Q}$.
So, is there a way of fixing this problem? I would guess the answer is No, because while some people might allow you to scale Euler factors by numbers, I don't think anyone will let you change them by anything else. But maybe there is some "refined L-factor" that determines the usual one (and maybe incorporates the higher cohomology of the inertia group?) Assuming there is no known way of repairing things, I have a follow-up question: Is there some general formalism that handles this failure? And if so, how does that work?

First time dad-to-be Channing Tatum is already in baby mode — studying books and watching documentaries.
But there's one thing he's still lacking: mastering the art of diapering.
"I have never changed a diaper before, so I may need some help learning," Tatum, 32, tells PEOPLE at Thursday's New York premiere of his new movie Side Effects, presented by the Cinema Society and Michael Kors.
"I don't have friends who have kids, so it's going to be an interesting experience to learn how to change a diaper. I hope I don't have any problems where the diaper falls off and the baby poops on the ground," says PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive, whose baby with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, 32, is due this summer.
"But once the baby is born, I'll definitely do the diaper changing. If it means touching the poop and getting peed on, I'll still do it. I'm up for the challenge."
Something the Magic Mike star has mastered is keeping his pregnant wife relaxed and happy.
"Oh man, I'm not even getting into what I do to pamper Jenna. I'm doing anything that she asks for," he explains. "She jokes to me all the time by saying, 'If I feel good, then the baby feels good' or 'If I'm happy, then the baby is happy.' And I'm like, 'That is such an urban myth. You're just saying that to get me to do everything for you.'"
"I know it's probably true, but I like to joke about it and she hates it. I'll go to the store to pick up shakes or give her 1000 foot rubs. A foot rub now through the nine months if I have to, just to keep her happy and comfortable."

for (i = 0; i < numbers.length - 2; i++)
In some codes we write i<numbers.length and in some numbers.length-1 or some others. What does this piece of code actually mean?
Although I am a beginner, this line would mean that the loop you are using will run until the Counter that was created in the statement, or 'i', is two values less than whatever value number has been set equivalent to earlier in your code. It will then repeat this code in the for block until the value of 'i' is two less than the value of number.
Hopefully that helps.
Take a look at the tutorial: The for Statement (The Java Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Language Basics)
or ask google. Many modern languages use the same syntax in for statements.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Java gives you a lot of power in for loops. I'll give some examples and then try to explain the ones you are asking about.
==Basic For loop==
for(int i=0 ; i<array.length ; i++){
This loop executes once for each element in the array. Since arrays are zero based (indexes go 0,1,2,3 instead of one based 1,2,3,4) we have i start at 0 but we stop if i goes above the length.
You may as "why do we stop before the length, isnt that missing a number?". The answer is no because it is zero based. 0,1,2,3 has 4 elements. So position 3 is the 4th element and if you try to look at position 4 you will get an error.
==How a for loop executes==
A: Executed first thing when you enter the loop. Most commonly used to declare a counter for the loop.
B: Executed at the beginning of each pass. If it results in TRUE then it enters the loop. If it results in FALSE then it skips over the loop and continues with the program.
C: Executed at the end of each pass. Most commonly used to increment the counter by some value.
==Crazy example==
for(String initialString = "ReAlly A sTriNg?" ; initialString.length() > 0 && initialString.contains("?") ; initialString.replaceFirst(String.valueOf(initialString.charAt(initialString.length()/2)), String.valueOf(initialString.charAt(initialString.length()/2)).toUpperCase())){ if(Character.isUpperCase(initialString.charAt(0))){ System.out.println("Upper Case Found"); } else { System.out.println("Lower Case Found"); } initialString = initialString.substring(1); }
==Your question==
I have no idea why someone would subtract 1 or even 2 from the length if they are already using a zero based index. If you could give some context of how you saw it being used i could explain more.
Writing code is your job, helping you fix and understand it is mine.
<-- Be sure to thank and REP (Star icon) those who have helped you. They appreciate it!
output at the terminal should look like : noTriples({1, 1, 2, 2, 1}) -> true
noTriples({1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1}) -> false
Basically there should be no triples in the code. if there are any, it returns false.
public class NoTriples { public static void main(String[] args) { int N=args.length; int[] nums=new int[N]; for(int i=0; i<N;i++){ nums [i]=Integer.parseInt(args[i]); } System.out.println(noTriples(nums)); } public static boolean noTriples(int[] nums) { int i; boolean val = true; for (i = 0; i < nums.length - 2; i++) { if (nums[i] == nums[i+1] && nums[i] == nums[i+2]) { val = false; } } return val; } }
Thats the code if it would help you explain why someone would subtract 1 or even 2 from the length.
if (nums[i] == nums[i+1] && nums[i] == nums[i+2]) {why someone would subtract 1 or even 2 from the length
To keep the above code (in red) from going off the end of the array.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

One time I went on an OKCupid date with a guy who ordered hot wings, licked his fingers, and wiped a fountain of sweat off his forehead with a paper napkin. Needless to say, I never went out with him again. It was a very dark time. And if you're at an equally low point with your living situation, the people over at the most desperate dating site on the internet want to match you with your next roommate.
OKCupid is currently testing an online Yenta service for housemates at an undisclosed domain. The good news, though, is that OKCupid and this roommate finding site will be completely separate. But the process could be similar—do you like cats? Are you a vegetarian? Do you smoke?
Do you want kids? All those things matter in a living situation about as much as they matter in a romantic setting. Honestly, either way, the best case scenario for a successful match is years of passive aggressive eye-rolling and mutual distrust. [Social Times]

I am planning an elective surgical procedure that could involve significant blood loss. I am concerned about the health risks such as disease and infection associated with receiving donor blood. Are there any alternatives to this treatment?
Bloodless medicine is a special service for patients who wish to avoid the use of donor blood during medical and surgical procedures. There are many reasons why a transfusion-free treatment method may be preferred. Religious convictions sometimes prevent patients from receiving blood transfusions. And there is a comfort in knowing that with bloodless techniques the risk of contracting bloodborne illnesses such as hepatitis or HIV is virtually eliminated.
The term bloodless medicine encompasses everything from micro-sampling techniques that draw a minimal amount of blood for testing to the use of sophisticated surgical equipment and techniques that reduce blood loss. The program also offers medications that increase the number of red blood cells in the patient, which reduces the need for transfusions even in complex situations.
Thanks to advances in equipment and technology, physicians and surgeons can safely and successfully perform a multitude of procedures, ranging from routine appendectomies to complex open-heart surgeries - without the use of blood transfusions. Bloodless medicine can provide medical and surgical care for a variety of specialties, including cancer surgery, cardiology, gynecology, hematology, neurology, orthopaedics and more.
Whether your reason for choosing bloodless medicine is personal or religious, there are definite benefits to choosing a health care system that offers a bloodless medicine program. These benefits include a lowered risk of infections and other complications due to blood transfusions, plus rapid recovery.
