Allergies: When to Treat Yourself, When to See a Doctor
Most allergy sufferers can rely on their symptoms like clockwork. When the pollen count is high, their eyes start to water and their nose starts to run. But do they know when to try over the counter medicine for their symptoms and when to seek stronger treatment?
There are generally two types of over the counter drugs that can help allergy symptoms:
- Antihistamines
- Decongestants
Antihistamines, such as Benadryl and Claritin, work by fighting the chemicals, like histamines, released during an allergy attack. The latest antihistamines reduce symptoms like itchy eyes and a runny nose without creating more discomfort for users.
The traditional antihistamines have a lot of unwanted side effects: They can make you sleepy, dry your nose and dry your throat. But there is a newer generation that does not do that and some of these can be bought over the counter, such as Claritin (generic name Loratidine) or Zyrtec (Cetirizine).
Decongestants, which also help cold symptoms, shrink the inflamed sinus tissue and allow for easier breathing. Common decongestants include Sudafed pills or Afrin nasal spray.
Though they are effective at alleviating short-term symptoms, decongestants are not meant for long-term use.
After about three or four days of using the nasal spray, your nose starts to get dependent on it and you can get this rebound congestion that can be much worse. If you find you are requiring a decongestant every day and you are taking it for weeks on end, then you should probably see a physician.
Patients with high blood pressure or an enlarged prostate should be wary of using oral decongestants, as they can have specific side effects for those conditions.
Other Treatments
Allergy sufferers also can find antihistamines and decongestants combined into one medication, to fight all the symptoms that come with allergies.
Some sufferers are trying newer treatments, like nasal irrigation, to help a stuffy nose.
Patients with chronic sinus infections often do well with irrigation, which uses a saltwater solution to flush out allergens and irritants from the nasal cavities.
When to See a Physician
But if over the counter drugs and other treatments do not alleviate symptoms, patients should see their doctor to determine a better course of action.
If patients are symptomatic for more than just a couple of weeks during a season and they have tried taking care of themselves and that has not been effective, then certainly they should see a physician. There are effective ways to deal with allergies, so they should see someone and get some help.
In addition to offering a number of prescription treatments, allergists or otolaryngologists can test patients to determine their specific allergies. Armed with that information, patients can work to avoid those irritants. Tests also can determine if a patient would be a good candidate for regular allergy shots.

The recent death of a gay man in Los Angeles due to bacterial meningitis has the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing Equality teaming up to provide information about the disease.
Bacterial meningitis occurs most often among infants less than a year old; since 2010, however, a "cluster" of cases has been reported among gay and bisexual men in New York City, resulting in seven deaths. As a result, in March of this year, New York City health officials recommended vaccination to prevent this type of meningitis for HIV-positive men and/or those men "who regularly have close or intimate contact with other men."
Four cases of bacterial meningitis have been reported among gay men in Los Angeles in recent months; while Los Angeles health officials have not deemed the cases an outbreak, they have warned the public about the most recent case.
The New York City health department has issued this factsheet for those men seeking more detailed information about bacterial meningitis, including symptoms and frequently asked questions.

NVIDIA Mobile Devices to Support Miracast Wireless Display Technology
Subject: General Tech | July 28, 2012 - 02:49 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: wireless display, wifi alliance, widi, tegra 3, nvidia, miracast
NVIDIA has announced its support for a new wireless display technology called Miracast. The creation of the Wi-Fi Alliance and its partners, Miracast is a wireless technology that allows direct connections (sans router) between a Wi-Fi enabled device and a Wi-Fi enabled television set. It is a much more open standard than the proprietary technologies like Intel's WiDi. Devices will require certification much like other Wi-Fi routers and wireless adapters. The Miracast standard certification program is set to launch soon with the standard's specifications published sometime in August. Any device manufacturer will be able to use the standard and go through certification, though whether or not we will see the high adoption rate that many are hoping for remains to be seen.
Interestingly, it looks as though NVIDIA is going to be one of the first adopters of the Miracast standard by integrating it into its Tegra 3-powered mobile devices. Using the Tegra 3 "4+1"-core System on a Chip, NVIDIA plans to use the chip to encode the audio and video information and pass it to the Wi-Fi stack where it is passed, via Wi-Fi, to the wireless display. The company wants you to be able to use its mobile tablets and smartphones as a controller to be able to play media and even games on the big screen. According to a recent blog post, NVIDIA is "actively working with our OEM partners and Miracast receiver vendors to bring this technology to market." The company has further promised more specific updates once the Wi-Fi Alliance finalizes the specification.
Miracast sounds good, as an open wireless display standard, but it is going to face some stiff competition from proprietary technologies. Apple's Air Play, AMD's Wireless Display, Intel's WiDi, and software like Android Transporter are all currently in use, and it is unlikely that those companies will forego the invested technology for an open standard. Miracast can certainly still work as a standard for all other devices, but that raises some questions. Mainly, whether or not a number of alternative devices using Miracast will be a large enough interest to compel display makers to support it. Hence my surprise when NVIDIA pledged its support, as it has the potential to be a big player in helping Miracast succeed. I'll remain skeptically optimistic on this one, but I'm curious what you think. Do you think that it will be successful as a wireless display standard?
You can read more about Miracast in this whitepaper (PDF).
Video News
So all Tegra3 based devices will get this? Even the "excisting" ones like the Surface?
Sounds good, but too early to tell. It's pretty clear with MS stepping on the toes of their OEMs by creating their own tablet hardware that the entire market is opening up and it's anyone's guess what comes next. No doubt the public will eventually demand more standardization for such things, but exactly when is the burning question. However, Nvidia supporting an open standard is about as bizarre and uncharacteristic as it gets suggesting they may know something the rest of us don't.
If its anything less then 720p streaming, same performance as a wired connection, then were good, otherwise its a fail.
Other than Intel's Widi being 'closed', what is the problem with it? I bought a Belkin receiver for $40 off of Amazon and my Samsung laptop supports Widi. It works great. 1080P and 5.1 PCM audio.
Surface2, Tegra4, supports Miracast.
Surface 2 + Netgear Push2TV(3000). Works great :)

Freelance jobs have become the solution providers. There is a wide range of freelance jobs that are gaining popularity like marketing, web designing, content development, blogging, strategy consultancy, brand building, jobs and recruitment positions, data entry etc. But you need to ensure that the job will maintain a steady and regular flow of income. To find freelance clients you can use social media sites; it's one of the best marketing strategies there is.
Social media has taken online communication to a different level. Almost everyone uses social media for all types of interactions, be it personal or professional. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter have gained momentous popularity. With these sites you can connect easily with people, share your thoughts and views, post your blogs and build a huge following.
Listed below are some of the social media sites that you can use for getting freelance jobs easily:
Facebook is undoubtedly the biggest and the most popular social media site. Almost everyone is in Facebook. With a billion members, this is the best platform for marketing yourself for freelance work. You need to improve your visibility online and create a facebook page for your freelance business. Let the people know that you are looking out for freelance job, enquire from your friends, provide links to sites or projects that you have completed. Stay on people's mind.
Twitter builds relationships and conversations with the followers and also with people whom you follow. These people, even if they are not hiring freelancers, they would have contact with people who are hiring for such jobs. Twitter is more professional in nature rather than personal. Even freelance jobs are advertised in this site. The only downside of using Twitter for searching freelance jobs is that unlike Facebook, where the referrals comes from trusted friends, the referrals in Twitter will be from the people who know nothing more than what they see in the site. Mostly they don't have personal relationships.
Now how to go about it? Search for freelance jobs through the various links in twitter. Follow people and companies with whom you want to work, follow their timelines and be on their radar so that they are aware about you. Ensure that your portfolio is all-encompassing, mentioning your professional skills and also share your links to your works or blogs, if any. Search for people with similar goals and interests as yours.
LinkedIn is a job site and its main purpose is to enhance careers. It is not used in the way Facebook and Twitter is used, wherein you keep your friends and colleagues updated with your messages and photos. This site is purely professional. With this site you have the opportunity to list all your skills and work experiences. Post your complete profile and highlight the type of job you are looking out for. Provide links to your blogs, websites or flicker accounts. Be proactive in making contacts. Try to improve your LinkedIn SEO by using plenty of keywords. Update your status frequently and make new contacts. To make your name visible on your contacts' pages, try to join groups in LinkedIn like Advertising Freelance, Designers Talk and Freelance Professional etc. Participate in the group's discussions and also share any useful information you have with the group members.
A blog can prove to be quite helpful in attracting and retaining the attention of audience. A blog well presented will lead you to your prospective client and influence their decision making in your favour. Keep your blogs related to the job that you are looking out for. Use relevant images for our blogs. Ensure that all the structural elements are in place so that your readers can identify you easily. Thus, make use of social media sites and get freelance jobs easily.

We'd like the logo to fit a broad color scheme, not necessarily just this site. This logo will be used for print media as well so it should look good with a white background.
We'd like to incorporate the sideways infinity symbol into the design. We'd like to have it replace the two "O's" in the name activeloop. We'd prefer the logo to be all lowercase letters, but do not have a specific font preference.
This is an example of the infinity symbol as a guideline:
It does not need to look exactly like this, but should be identifiable as an infinity symbol, but look like part of the flow of the word activeloop. Or not? You're the designers. :)

YTD 36-24 ( +6.75 units )
WINNIPEG +7 ( 3 units )
This game would of been a virtual Pick Em or BC a small favorite on neutral site, with that being said I'm actually glad the game is being played in BC which makes me more than happy to take the 7 points here. The BlueBombers are the only team in the East with a winning SU road record so playing away from home with all the marbles on the line should not be a problem. They also own the Best ATS record this year and their ability to dominate games defensively is about as impressive as I've ever seen in the last 30 years watching CFL games. They dominated the CFL's defensive category rankings finishing first in almost every one. They led the league in Fewest Yards,sacks, passing yards allowed and interceptions. The Bombers also forced a league high 54 turnovers. Why do i think this is important ? If you consider that Hamilton scored 40 plus points in the Eastern Division semi final and then went into Winnipeg the following week off such a high and were held to 3 points in 4 quarters. Well this is quite remarkable and it shows me that the defense will dominate this game.
In 3 previous years, favorite is 0-3 ATS but 3-0 SU. Arguably, BC has the better defense especially in last 2 months when Winnipeg defense has allowed most points and more than Saskatchewan. When both defenses are strong, the key determinants might be offenses and special teams. Since Winnipeg is worst in penalties and "twos and outs", offense is more lilely to struggle.
Underdogs must win turnover battles to have a chance. But if BC wins that battle. Winnipeg is in trouble. BC rarely self-destructs but Winnipeg has allowed more turnovers. Pierce is more likely to be pressured than Lulay because Winnipeg is 2nd worst in allowing sacks while BC is #1 in fewest sacks allowed. As with Ricky Ray, loud noise and weak QB protection may cause more errors by Pierce.

From /.:
"The Munich District Court has ruled on May 19, 2004 that the main clauses of the GNU General Public License are valid under German copyright and contract law. This seems to be the first judgment worldwide proofing the validity of the most popular free software license. The ruling is a confirmation of the preliminary injunction of April 2, 2004. The new judgment gives on 20 pages the reasons for the ruling. It states explicitly that the terms of section 2, 3 and 4 of the GPL are valid under German copyright and contract law. Here is the German text of the judgment; an English translation will be available soon. The judgment comes at the right time to fight those (SCO and others) who challenge the legal validity of the GPL in Europe and elsewhere. The lawyer of the plaintiffs, Till Jaeger from Munich should be granted the Free Software Award."

When choosing office chairs for your workplace, it is ideal if you can test it out first to make sure that it feels comfortable enough. This is one way for you to make sure that you are at ease while sitting on it, and that it will give you ample room to move. One of the disadvantages of buying office chairs online is that you do not have the luxury of trying out the chair before buying them, only to discover that the chair does not offer a good fit for you.

An article on THINQ talks with AMD senior manager of developer relations Richard Huddy about plans to promote AMD's open approach to GPU-accelerated physics at the Game Developers Conference. Along the way he takes a shot at PhysX, NVIDIA's proprietary physics solution, saying he's not aware of any developers besides Epic who are using PhysX for any reason other than finances: "They're not doing it because they want it; they're doing it because they're paid to do it. So we have a rather artificial situation at the moment where you see PhysX in games, but it isn't because the game developer wants it in there," he tells them. "I'm not aware of any GPU-accelerated PhysX code which is there because the games developer wanted it with the exception of the Unreal stuff," he continues. "I don't know of any games company that's actually said 'you know what, I really want GPU-accelerated PhysX, I'd like to tie myself to Nvidia and that sounds like a great plan'."

Kid Rock Does Not Appreciate Being Dragged Into Someone Else's Glass Dildo Lawsuit
Generally speaking, Kid Rock seems like a pretty happy-go-lucky guy. Everyone has their limits, however, and Rock's apparently end right around the spot where someone else accuses him of being the owner of a sex toy that's part of a workplace-harassment lawsuit.
As we previously reported, Rock's name came up a couple of weeks ago during an ongoing trial that's been brought against the Insane Clown Posse by a former employee alleging sexual harassment. The plaintiff, Andrea Pellegrini, has described a litany of inappropriate behavior that includes bullying, wrongful termination, and the attempted gifting of a glass dildo — which another ex-employee claims was ultimately given to Kid Rock.
The judge in the case ordered Rock to hand over the offending phallus, unleashing a torrent of sniggering headlines in the process. But Rock isn't amused. He's made his feelings known by using his website to publicly shame the lawyers involved in the lawsuit, posting the contents of the "actual letters" he's mailed in response to having his good name so brazenly sullied.
You can read the complete text of the letters here, starting with Rock's recommendation regarding exactly what "all parties involved" can go ahead and do with the aforementioned dildo. "I've never heard of, seen, or met any people involved in this case. But I'm pretty sure you already know that. What I do know is that you've been dragging my name around in the media to gain attention for your sad-ass excuse for a law firm," reads a portion of one letter. Asking the attorneys to imagine waking up one morning to discover they'd been falsely accused of getting "caught molesting animals at a petting zoo while high on bath salts," Rock queries, "wouldn't you be pissed off that your name, for days on end, was being mentioned in the press when EVERYONE involved knew you weren't involved in any way? Welcome to my side of this story."
And although owning sex toys is a pretty mild allegation considering the wild image Kid Rock cultivated in his early years, he makes an excellent point. Further, it's easy to understand the anger behind statements like: "It is obvious that all you a–holes are using my name and notoriety to garner publicity for yourselves, which makes you the worst kind of scum. You're the types of lawyers that make America a worse place for everyone. … Your website says you represent people who are 'interested in doing the right thing.' I don't believe that, but prove me wrong."
The allegations have yet to be publicly retracted. In the meantime, the guys in Steely Dan may want to make sure they've got their own attorneys on speed dial.

The Bible: The Greatest Miniseries Ever Told?
Actress Roma Downey ("Touched by an Angel") and spouse Mark Burnett (producer of "Survivor" and more) discuss their 10-hour History Channel epic
Courtesy of Lightworkers Media
She starred on one of TV's most beloved series, Touched by an Angel.
He's the producer of Survivor and The Voice — and Time magazine called him one of the world's most influential people.
Roma Downey and her husband, Mark Burnett, could have thrown their weight behind just about any project. So why did they tackle a 10-hour History Channel miniseries covering the Bible?
The power pair dropped by AARP's broadcast studios in Washington where they told Movies for Grownups host Bill Newcott the story behind their series, airing over five weeks beginning March 3 and ending on Easter Sunday.

Hewn from rock, the Giant Buddha of Leshan is something special. The world's largest sitting Buddha statue, 71 metres tall, is so enormous that his fingernails are bigger than the height of a person. Sandwiched between 2 rock faces, he stares calmly over the water at his feet and at the sacred Mount Emei. This Buddha is an icon that will take your breath away.
The region surrounding Leshan is the birthplace of Buddhism in China. The country's oldest temples can be found scattered around the sacred Mount Emei. Ancient bronze statues, pavilions, temple gardens and hundreds of tombs lie hidden between the trees and are often surrounded by a mysterious mist. But however mystical the sacred mountain might seem, the Giant Buddha by the river is the region's most popular attraction. A steep set of stairs along the rock face takes you to the statue's head, where you can pass the time staring together at the confluence of the 3 rivers at his feet.
Whereas the Giant Buddha was originally protected by a canopy, mosses and shrubs have since given the statue a natural coating. Due to erosion, the statue has undergone many facelifts. Something else that is immediately noticeable is the large earlobes, which are a standard feature of Buddha statues. According to legend, Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was a prince who wore earrings encrusted with gemstones. In order to focus on his enlightenment, he removed his earrings and shaved his head. His long earlobes have since become a symbol of his rejection of the materialistic world. Various stories are used to explain the studs that always cover the head of Buddha statues. According to some, they are snails, which protect his bald head from the sun with their slime.
At the village of Leshan, after which the Giant Buddha is named, 3 rivers converge: the Minjiang, the Dadu and the Qingyi. These were once so turbulent that boats would regularly capsize and sink. The monk Haitong decided that a Buddha was needed to calm the waters. In 713 AD he began to carve the statue from the red stone above the confluence. The statue was only completed a century later, with the help of others. During the carving process, the pieces of removed rock were deposited in the water. Because the river was partially dammed, it became less turbulent – although the inhabitants of Leshan have their own, spiritual version of this historical tale. Whichever version is true, the fact remains that the Giant Buddha stares calmly over the water, encouraging the belief that it was he who tamed the rivers.

Warren Buffett — known for investing in traditional media — has finally joined the ranks of new media.
The billionaire unveiled his new Twitter handle on Thursday during a speech. Buffett posted his first tweet at 12:20 p.m. ET and had amassed over 75,000 followers by Thursday afternoon.
Warren is in the house.
— Warren Buffett (@WarrenBuffett) May 2, 2013
The business mogul has shied away from investing in technology companies because he says he can't predict the future of those businesses the way he can with insurance or manufacturing companies.
Buffett says even though he may not understand Twitter well, he knows it can't be all bad because one of the company's co-founders is from his home state of Nebraska.

France Expects 1st Batch of Reapers Soon
France expects the US will soon approve the speedy shipment of two Reaper surveillance drones after sending a formal request in early May, American and French sources said.
French acquisition of the first batch of unarmed General Atomics Reapers seals a long-running, politically charged debate on what type of aircraft the Air Force will use to fill a capability gap in medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft.
The Reaper deal aims to boost military capabilities, but a tight budget means France will cut orders for the Rafale fighter and multimission frigates while leaving the door open to purchasing a multirole armored vehicle off the shelf.
US officials received a letter of request from the French government this month, asking for the two air vehicles and a ground station to be delivered by the end of the year.
The two UAVs will be pulled out of the production line to allow an accelerated delivery to France for the Mali mission, a US official said.
This is pretty unique, the official said. This is a sign of friendship and collaboration between the US and France.
That approach reflects Defense Secretary Chuck Hagels concern to help allies, said Robbin Laird, with consultancy ICSA based here and in Washington.
Laird summed up Hagels view as: What means can be generated to show practical support for allies facing near-term threats?
A letter of acceptance from US authorities is expected soon, a French source briefed on the subject said.
The two Reapers are the first batch in an order of 12 theater surveillance UAVs cited in the French defense and national security white paper published April 29.
The letter of request from France asked for up to 16 air vehicles, a second American official said.
Frances intervention in Mali showed an urgent need for a long-endurance, high-speed drone to provide cover in the northern part of the country. Paris will keep about 1,000 French special operations troops in that region as part of a counterinsurgency campaign after pulling out most of the soldiers sent over in the Serval mission.
Whats important is to have the first two [Reapers] to plug the capability gap, the French source said. In a second phase, more Reapers will be shipped in late 2015 or early 2016.
The budget for the Reapers is around US $250 million. That compares with an estimated 1 billion (US $1.3 billion) to develop a European medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV as proposed by Dassault Aviation and BAE Systems.
French industry has lobbied against buying the US kit, planned as an intermediate measure, fearing the temporary will turn out to be permanent.
Britain and France have signed up to build a new-generation theater surveillance UAV. BAE Systems and Dassault Aviation have announced plans to form a joint venture for that collaborative project.
Britain flies five Reapers and has ordered five more to be delivered this year. Some of those unmanned aircraft are armed.
Italy operates five unarmed Predator A UAVs, which have been upgraded to A+, and has ordered six unarmed Predator Bs or Reapers.
In total, about 48 Reapers are expected to be flying in those European air forces, the source said.
France will extend the contract beyond October for the EADS Harfang surveillance drone until the later Reapers arrive around 2016.
Last year, Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian reversed the previous administrations pick of the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Heron TP. IAI partnered with Dassault, which would have modified the aircraft to French needs, including a satellite data link.
A French official said the Heron TP was designed for Israeli needs and is too large and too slow for export sales.
Rafale First
In other measures for the French Air Force, the government has set a priority on purchasing Rafales over modernizing Mirage 2000Ds, as the twin-jet Rafale aircraft is expected to fly until 2040.
What maintains the industrial and technology bases is the prospect of a fifth [Rafale] batch and a new standard with the fifth batch. Thats how we have to work, the French source briefed on the subject said.
An order for a fifth batch of Rafales will make up the 225 figure for fighters in the white paper, down from a previous goal of 300 aircraft.
Defense officials will seek to modify the Rafale contract, allowing the government to suspend payment if Dassault wins an export deal.
A foreign sale of the Rafale would bring in cash from abroad. The French budget earmarks an annual 800 million to keep the line open at a minimum build rate of one aircraft per month.
Dassault is negotiating a Rafale sale with India, but Britain is pushing hard to sell the Eurofighter Typhoon despite New Delhis pick of the French company as preferred bidder.
One of the reasons India chose the Rafale was its multimission capabilities, while the Typhoon was seen as similar to the air-to-air role of the Indian Air Forces Sukhoi fighters, Laird said.
A midlife upgrade of part of the Mirage 2000D fleet will go ahead, but the 700 million budget is seen as too high, and defense officials will negotiate hard to drive that down. Thales would fit a new radar to allow a multirole capacity.
The Mirage 2000D is considered a gap-filler with as little money as possible to be assigned to the modernization, the source said.
Frigates, Subs, Vehicles
For the Navy, the government will buy eight or more frégates multimission (FREMMs), instead of 11, from DCNS. That will comprise six anti-submarine warfare ships and two air defense models, with the latter two last off the line.
To keep the DCNS design office working at Lorient, western France, talks are due to start in 2015 or 2016 on development contracts for a future combat ship. This will be a less capable ship than the FREMM and is aimed at keeping work up after 2020.
In submarines, the six nuclear-powered attack subs will go ahead, although the first Barracuda boat will be delayed.
In land systems, Nexter is due to deliver the last véhicule blindé combat dinfantrie (infantry fighting vehicle) in 2015. The company has so far won few export contracts, so the outlook is dim.
If there is money, France will develop and build a new véhicule blindé multirole (multi-role armored vehicle). Assuming Nexter wins the tender, there will be work for the development office, but production will be only 15 percent of the total figure this decade. The requirement is for about 2,000 units.
If there is no money, France will buy a vehicle off the shelf.
Those two options make it all the more crucial for Nexter to seal a partnership deal with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann.
If exceptional receipts fail to come in to make up the budget figures, land systems likely will be the loser.
Industrial Policy
The white paper identified areas such as aircraft, ships and vehicles as key capabilities to maintain to protect the defense industrial and technology base from a financial crisis.
Other areas include mission aircraft such as the A400M and Atlantique, missiles, land weapons, telecommunications and information systems, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
The priority is to preserve the industrial capacity for the military function, the French source said.
That argument was deployed against financial officials seeking big spending cuts as the white paper on defense and national security was being prepared over the past 10 months.
That objective seems to have won the day as the white paper avoids cancellation and maintains continuity in a broad spectrum of capabilities.
The nuclear deterrence is ringfenced at an average annual 3.5 billion.
Contracts will be renegotiated on existing programs as numbers are cut, with delays in new launches or deliveries.
However, new development contracts will be signed to keep design offices open and maintain skills for future programs.
On the government side, the Direction Générale de lArmement plans a big staff overhaul in its export support activities.
As the white paper has opted for continuity in capabilities, the DGA will need to recruit engineers to test, evaluate and renegotiate contracts.
Over the next six years, the DGA will look for a total 42 billion for the equipment budget, excluding the nuclear component. ■

Jackson, a 17 year old male from Imphal asks on April 26, 2011,
In my algebra, I learn that (-3 X -2) = +6 but (-3 X +2) = -6, why?
viewed 8145 times
There are lots of ways to answer this. Here is one:
If you start with a number like say 0, and then you add -3 and then add -3 again, then you have added -3 twice, or in other words 2 times -3. And where are you? You are at -6. So this is why 2 x -3 = -6.
Then, if you want to know about something like -2 x -3, you can think of -2 as -1 x 2, and so you have -1 x 2 x -3. The last part, 2 x -3, we already figured out is -6. So you have -1 x -6, which is +6.
And here is a somewhat fancier way to think about it:
You can think of addition and multiplication as "doing something" to the number line. For instance adding 4 slides the number line to the right by 4 units. If you started at 6, then after you add 4, you are at 10. If you started at -5, you will end up at -1.
(Likewise adding -4 slides to the left instead of the right.)
Multiplication, on the other hand, stretches the line out as if it's anchored at 0. Imagine the number line is elastic but pinned at 0. Multiplying by 2 stretches by a factor of 2: 1 goes to 2, 15 goes to 30, -12 goes to -24, 0 goes to 0, etc. The farther you are away from 0, the more you get moved by multiplication (unlike addition, where every number moves the same amount).
Now, multiplying by -1 is a little different: it flips the line around. (Still anchored at 0.) So 20 goes to -20, -20 goes to 20, etc.
Now, if you take a number and multiply by -3, that is like multiplying by 3 and also by -1, so you stretch by a factor of 3 and then flip the line. (Or flip first and then stretch -- the order doesn't matter.)
If you start at 2, you will end up at -6. If you start at -2, you will end up at +6. So -3 x 2 = -6, and -3 x -2 = 6.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (June 4, 2011) – The U.S. Men's National Team fell to current FIFA World Cup Champion Spain 4-0 on Saturday night in front of a record crowd of 64,121 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
Balancing the amount of time his players would receive against Spain with the more important opening match of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup just three days away, U.S. head coach Bob Bradley utilized an inexperienced line-up and the current FIFA World Cup Champion was able to capitalize.
In a span of less than 15 minutes in the first half, Spain was able to take a three-goal lead that they would only add to in the second half. Santiago Carzola notched two of the first three, bookending his around a finish by Alvaro Negredo. Fernando Torres finished the day off with his own strike in the 73rd minute. Spain improved their record to 57-4-4 since November 2006.
The U.S. players and staff left for the airport directly after the match to travel to Detroit in preparation of their Group C opener on Tuesday, June 7, against Canada in the Gold Cup. The match kicks off at 8 p.m. ET at Ford Field and will be broadcast live on Fox Soccer. Fans can also follow live on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer. For more information, visit goldcup.org.
"Spain is a great team,†said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley. "It's a tough test to play against them at any time and it becomes an even tougher on the eve of the Gold Cup. We've always chosen to take these challenges and we want to play against the best teams because it's what the game at the highest level is all about. It's the best way for our team to improve. Hopefully there are things that we can take from this game that will not only help us during the next three weeks but things that we can take that will help us as we move forward again.
Adding to the challenge of facing one of the best teams in the world, Landon Donovan, the USA's all-time leading scorer, was deemed unavailable due to an illness hours before the match. Resting players for the Gold Cup, Carlos Bocanegra was not named to the game day roster, while Clint Dempsey and Steve Cherundolo started on the bench, leaving goalkeeper Tim Howard, who wore the captain's armband, and Oguchi Onyewu as by far the most experienced veterans in the starting line-up.
The young and inexperienced U.S. was outmatched early in front of 64,121 fans, the largest crowd to watch the U.S. MNT in the State of Massachusetts and throughout the New England area. Wearing their red jersey for the third game in a row, the U.S. had little possession and trouble tracking Spain's attacking players.
After knocking on the door a few times, Spain broke through with a classy finish in the 28th minute. After a nice give and go, David Silva slipped into the left side of the penalty area and cut back against defender Jonathan Spector to buy some space and time. He slipped the ball back toward the top of the penalty area to a streaking Cazola who hit a left-footed strike into the upper-left corner past a helpless Howard.
Four minutes later, Spain doubled their lead, this time striking in a much more direct fashion. With the ball in the center circle, Xabi Alonso lofted in a ball down the middle of the field for Negredo who sliced in behind Tim Ream and took a couple touches before finishing past Howard with a calm left-footed strike from 12 yards out.
The U.S. earned one of their best chances in the 40th minute when Robbie Rogers was able to get a good look inside the penalty area. After challenging for a high ball near the top of the penalty area with Gerard Pique, he found himself with a clear shot on goal but his left footed strike went wide right.
A minute later, Spain scored their final goal of the half and put the game virtually out of reach. Working down the left flank, the ball was slipped into the path of a streaking Silva along the edge of the penalty area. Silva took a touch before sending the ball across the face of the goal where David Villa missed his attempt but an unmarked Carzorla was darting into the box and had an easy left-footed finish from the penalty spot.
Keeping with his strategy of resting players in preparation for the Gold Cup, Bradley made five halftime substitutions, bringing on Steve Cherundolo, Clint Dempsey, Chris Wondolowski, Clarence Goodson and Michael Bradley. Later in the half, Alejandro Bedoya was the sixth and final replacement when he came on for Juan Agudelo.
The U.S. team took advantage of their fresh legs and increased its possession during the second half. The veterans made an impact on the game and nearly created a goal in the 70th minute. A streaking Sacha Kljestan got behind the Spanish defense, but Joan Capdevila caught up to him and slowed him down. He cut the ball back from just outside the box for Dempsey, who had continued his run straight down the center of the field, but lost his footing while trying to control the pass and the defense was able to clear.
Spain tallied their final goal in the 73rd minute with an impressive series that included only seven touches between winning the ball in their own half and the final finish from 10 yards out. Midfielder Borja Valero won the ball inside the center circle and darted forward before delivering a perfect pass to split Cherundolo and Goodson and lead Torres towards goal. Torres took a touch at the top of the box and then, with Cherundolo closing, hit a right-footed toe-poke past Howard, off the lower right post and in.
The U.S. will seek its fifth confederation championship title when they compete in the 2011 Gold Cup. After their first match against Canada, the team travels south to face Panama on June 11 at 8 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., before rounding out group play against Guadeloupe on June 14 at the brand new LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, with kickoff slated for 8 p.m. CT. Both games will be live on Fox Soccer.
Before the match, The National Soccer Hall of Fame inducted five new members in a ceremony next to the stadium. The 2011 Induction Class includes Cobi Jones, Eddie Pope and Earnie Stewart in the Player category, Bruce Murray as a Veteran and Bob Gansler as a Builder. The five were introduced on the field before the game, along with current members of the Hall of Fame.Â

When the Patriots cut Aaron Hernandez 90 minutes after he was arrested on live television Wednesday morning, many people assumed the team knew Hernandez was about to be charged with first-degree murder, as well as five other weapons charges.
Not so, according to a high-ranking Patriots executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
The source reiterated to the Globe late Friday that the Patriots' brain trust, led by Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick, decided late last week to cut Hernandez if he were to be arrested in connection with the murder in any way. The source said the team's leaders expected Hernandez to be arrested for obstruction of justice, and were "taken aback" when he was charged with murder later that afternoon.
"We had no inside knowledge," the source said. "Did it matter to us? No. We were not going to have somebody on the team that's close to a murder."
The Patriots will carry significant cap charges for Hernandez over the next two years, but NFL Players Association records show — and the source confirmed — that the team has voided all of Hernandez's remaining guaranteed money, which totals $5.91 million. They will also take a smaller salary cap hit this year — just $2.55 million — but will have a sizable hit in 2014 before Hernandez completely disappears from the books starting in 2015.
Hernandez signed a seven-year, $39.768 million contract with $16 million guaranteed in August 2012, with a $12.5 million signing bonus that for salary cap purposes is prorated over five years. Nearly $24 million of the contract was not guaranteed until Hernandez made the team each season from 2015-18. Hernandez has already collected $10 million.
But the Patriots believe the NFL's bylaws and collective bargaining agreement have specific language about "conduct detrimental to the best interests of professional football" that works in favor of them voiding all future payments to Hernandez, including an installment of his signing bonus.
"It was guaranteed for skill and injury, but it wasn't guaranteed for personal conduct that cast the club in a negative light, and that's why we cut him," the source said. "We know the CBA. We are well within our rights."
Hernandez was supposed to receive $2.46 million in guaranteed base salary in 2013-14, $200,000 in roster and workout bonuses this year, and a $3.25 million payment to complete his signing bonus on March 31, 2014 (he received a similar payment this past March 31). The money was fully guaranteed for skill, injury, and cap purposes — in other words, if his skill level dropped off, he became significantly hurt, or if the Patriots wanted to create salary cap space.
The source said the Patriots didn't confer with the NFL about voiding Hernandez's remaining guaranteed money, and as of late Friday the NFL Players Association hadn't responded to a request asking if they will fight for Hernandez to receive the rest of his money.
The source said the team probably could have made it easier to recoup more cash and salary cap space had it waited for commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend Hernandez, but leadership wasn't 100 percent confident that would happen when they made the decision to release Hernandez around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. Hernandez was formerly charged around 2:30 p.m.
The source also said the team will try to recoup previous bonus money awarded to Hernandez, though it could be tough given Hernandez's significant legal fees.
Salary cap-wise, the Patriots will do better this year than was widely reported on Wednesday, but will still take a significant hit in 2014.
NFLPA records show — and the Patriots source confirmed — that Hernandez's 2013 salary cap number will be $2.55 million.
That number is equal to his two signing bonus prorations — $2.5 million from his new contract, and $50,000 from his rookie deal signed in 2010.
His 2013 salary cap number was supposed to be $4.073 million, but the Patriots picked up $1.5 million in cap space. Many reports assumed that Hernandez's cap number would be $5.092 million because it was not believed that the Patriots could void the guaranteed money. Instead it will be half of that.
Hernandez's 2014 cap number was supposed to be $4.2 million, but now it will be significantly higher — $7.5 million. The $1.173 guaranteed salary and $500,000 workout bonus are wiped out, but because the cut occurred after June 1, the Patriots have to account for the other three-fifths of the signing bonus on the 2014 salary cap. The Patriots will also look to ask the NFL to lower that salary cap number on the grounds that Hernandez violated league rules, but that could be an uphill battle.
NFL teams are also allowed to roll over any unused cap space from year to year. Current records show that the Patriots have $9.215 million in cap space for 2013 that can be pushed into next year to help cover Hernandez.Ben Volin can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Positions on the efficacy of medical marijuana vary, but thousands of patients suffering from cancer, AIDS, and other diseases claim marijuana provides them relief from devastating symptoms such as intractable nausea, vomiting and chronic pain.
In a 1997 article for the The New England Journal of Medicine, Jerome P. Kassirer, M.D., wrote that "physicians who prohibit prescribing marijuana for seriously ill patients are misguided, heavy-handed, and inhumane."
Different strains of marijuana have varying effects and target a variety of symptoms. We're putting a cost on this relief and giving the types of pain that are eased.

Fox Sees Women's Rights And EducationDiscussions As A "Distraction" On The Campaign Trail
Blog ››› ››› MELODY JOHNSON
Fox anchors are suggesting that the issues of rape, women's reproductive rights, and education are "distraction[s]" from the real issue of the campaign: the economy.
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy claimed that President Obama is spending too much time on the campaign trail talking about "how we need more teachers. He doesn't really talk about economics." Co-hosts Gretchen Carlson and Brian Kilmeade then claimed that the Obama campaign's strategy is to distract from the economy by focusing on issues such as education, women's rights, reproductive choice, and Rep. Todd Akin's widely condemned "legitimate rape" comments.
But education is an economic issue. Indeed, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has advised nations to "invest in education to beat recession." The OECD found that "[g]overnment budgets and the overall economy also reap an advantage from higher number of [college] graduates." It also found that people who drop out of school without a job "are likely to spend a long time out of work."
Furthermore, people with more education obtain higher paying jobs. An increase in education rates decreases unemployment. And investment in education helps the economy, especially during times of economic downturns.
Fox's attempts to downplay women's rights, reproductive choice, and Akin's comments are also quite problematic. Akin's rhetoric is reflected in policies being pushed by conservatives, who just this week crafted a Republican Party platform that called for a constitutional ban on abortion with no exception for rape.

1. Re: StageVideo on iOSrelaxatraja Aug 29, 2011 2:45 AM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
You can do call the native video player from the IOS using stagewebview and play H.264 videos.
2. Re: StageVideo on iOSKarelBrascamp Aug 29, 2011 4:30 AM (in response to relaxatraja)
Thanks, but using the stagewebview workaround, I'm not able to put flash objects on top of the video. And I need that for my application..
3. Re: StageVideo on iOSrelaxatraja Aug 29, 2011 4:49 AM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
I think its possible if you not occupy the whole stage width and height. and you can use the space for your purpose?
4. Re: StageVideo on iOSKarelBrascamp Aug 29, 2011 5:35 AM (in response to relaxatraja)
Nope, I need to place objects on top of the video. Wich according to the documentation, doesn't seem possible:
'The StageWebView instance attached to a stage is displayed on top of any Flash display objects' (source)
5. Re: StageVideo on iOSsebelga Sep 3, 2011 3:30 AM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
I'm trying to do the same thing with the new AIR 3 beta 2 in Adobe Labs. With the new stagevideo API available for iOS we should be able to play a h264 movie. I'm trying it on a iPad 1 with iOS 4.3.5 with no luck. I get the sound playing, but no video. I do get the "Accelerated" with GPU though....
Have you tried it yourselft with better results?
6. Re: StageVideo on iOSloic_digitas Sep 6, 2011 5:51 AM (in response to sebelga)
Hello Sebelga,
I'm trying the same thing than you with an iPad 1 with iOS 4.3.3 and I have the same result. I have the sound but no video with the gpu render mode.
Adobe, do you know if it's a known issue with the iPad 1 ?
Thank you
7. Re: StageVideo on iOSsebelga Sep 6, 2011 8:27 AM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
I created a bug at Adobe. You will find there a zip file with the test project I did.
At the end I could see a portion of the video "outside" the stage.. Check it to understand.
8. Re: StageVideo on iOSKarelBrascamp Sep 9, 2011 6:39 AM (in response to sebelga)
I actually managed to do it, targeting flash player 11, and packaging with the Adobe Air 3.0 RC sdk.
9. Re: StageVideo on iOSArthy the crab Sep 19, 2011 12:31 AM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
@karelBrascamp : Is it possible to get your example files ? i spent my week end trying to do it on android + ipad2... (i successfully traced the runtime as the latest airt3 beta, but still no stagevideo available)
10. Re: StageVideo on iOSArthy the crab Sep 20, 2011 1:50 AM (in response to Arthy the crab)
Ok i did successfully in integrating VideoStage and play accelerated video, but performance are very bad and far from expected, even if followed adobe recommandation from Adobe AIR TV article : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/articles/video_content_tv.html.
- Video codec: H.264, Main or High profile, progressive encoding
- Resolution: 720i, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p
- Frame rate: 24 or 30 frames per second
- Audio codec: AAC-LC or AC3, 44.1 kHz, stereo
- Combined bit rate: up to 2Mbps (or higher depending on available bandwidth)
- Audio bit rate: up to 192 kbps
- Pixel aspect ratio: 1 × 1
performance on Xoom tablet are not good. Did someone managed in configuring AIR3 app + video encoding to fit expected results (0% CPU, and 100% GPU video decoding as i understood) ????

Hey guys, I've put together an iOS Stage Video class that works great on iPad/iPad2 (have yet to test it on my iPhones), this should help you out! It's not perfect, but it works like a charm!
You will have to add in the following compiler arguments to your Flex project:
-swf-version=13 -target-player=11.0
and in your app descriptor file set the rendermode to 'direct'
you must also set the 'backgroundAlpha' to 0 on your main component
var path:String = new File(new File( app:/path/to/mp4 ).nativePath).url;
var vid:iOSStageVideo = new iOSStageVideo( path , 1024 , 768 );
vid.addEventListener('videoDone' , function():void{
container.removeChild( vid );
removeElement( container );
container = new UIComponent();
container.width = stage.stageWidth;
container.height = stage.stageHeight;
addElement( container );
container.addChild( vid );
and here is the class:
import flash.display.Sprite;

12. Re: StageVideo on iOSbillo Feb 11, 2012 6:55 AM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
Can someone please provide a Flash Professional CS5.5 solution for StageVideo on iOS. A FLA file would be preferred. I have used StageWebView successfully on an iPad. I have tried using various document classes but cannot get the video file to play. The solution must stream the video file from a remote server (NOT A FLASH MEDIA SERVER). Are there any settings that need to be adjusted within Flash Professional CS5.5? Remember, I DO NOT want a Flash Builder solution only Flash Professional CS5.5!
13. Re: StageVideo on iOSSharpe D Mar 13, 2012 11:40 AM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
Did anyone ever come up with a StageVideo example for Flash CS 5.5?
14. Re: StageVideo on iOSbillo Mar 25, 2012 12:38 PM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
Below is the Flash CS5.5 solution. Make sure your using AIR 3.1 and the AIR for iOS rendering setting is set to GPU.
package {
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
import flash.desktop.SystemIdleMode;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.media.StageVideo;
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private var VIDEO_URL:String = "http://www.website.com/video.mp4";
private var netConnection:NetConnection;
private var netStream:NetStream;
private var video:StageVideo;
public function Main() {
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
netConnection = new NetConnection();
netStream = new NetStream(netConnection);
netStream.client = this;
video = stage.stageVideos[0];
video.viewPort = new Rectangle(0, 0, 480, 270);
public function onMetaData(dataObj:Object):void {
// Do nothing.
15. Re: StageVideo on iOSfranky303at Apr 25, 2012 12:55 PM (in response to billo)
for me it only plays sound, no video visible
16. Re: StageVideo on iOSbillo Apr 26, 2012 4:50 AM (in response to franky303at)
franky303at -- What version of Air are you using? I used Air 3.1 for this file. Did you set rendering to GPU? Did you test it on the device?
17. Re: StageVideo on iOSfranky303at Apr 26, 2012 8:08 AM (in response to billo)
Tried setting both renderMode "direct" and "gpu". - Using AIR 3.2 SDK ... And yes, only testing on ipad 2 with iOS 5.1. Both target ipa-debug and ipa-ad-hoc ... Video is mp4 with h264 codec.
18. Re: StageVideo on iOSDanaBrousseau May 18, 2012 5:52 AM (in response to KarelBrascamp)
The tutorial posted here: http://01am.co.uk/comment/2 is working perfectly for me.
However, I get no audio. The mp4 file itself contains audio (when played in Quicktime) but is silent when played in my IOS app.
Is there something I need to do to activate StageVideo's sound? Has anyone else had similar issues?
19. Re: StageVideo on iOSM0N5TERS Jul 21, 2012 5:31 PM (in response to DanaBrousseau)
I had the same issue. It seems to be a bug. There's an easy way to fix it. Just play a sound, before playing the video.
I just added a short sound file that I'm playing onLoad. Without this, Flash doesn't seem to know how to handle sound in video files, but once you played a sound, it "remembers" how to do it for stagevideo.
Silly solution, but it worked for me
