Dismissed as foolish by a class conscious French horn,Tubby

Schrödinger's cat Feb 3 2010, 2:02 PM EST | Post edited: Feb 3
2010, 2:02 PM EST My thoughts on the season premeire was how
this parallels the Schrödinger's cat experiment. As I was
talking with a few of my friends, they too brought up the same
experiment. For those that are not familar with the experiment,
here is a brief overview: A cat is placed in a box which also
has a container filled with poison. The box is closed, so you
cannot see what is happening inside. It is not known if the
poison container is broken. If it brakes, the cat dies, but if
it doesn't, the cat lives. Because you cannot see what is inside
and do not know the outcome, the cat is both dead and alive at
the same time. When the box is open, only one result can occur
in this reailty, but in another reality the opposite outcome
happens. This is very similar to Flight 815. It both crashes
and lands safely at the same time. But only |

Epidemiologists have been collecting this kind of data for

caregivers to work together – and get paid well -- to keep
people healthy and to get rid of wasteful, unnecessary care.

0.526072 | 7.816889 | -1 | Friday, December 9, 2011 Picking the Right Driver We are very
excited to announce the availability of the fourth generation
G-Series 1 VP8 hardware decoder, internally codenamed “Driver”.
In this release, our focus has been on optimizing the VP8
bitstream decoder. The new architecture helps the IP run at 13%
higher operating frequency allowing the decoder chips to reach
higher frame rates or do multi-channel decoding more easily. At
the same time, the new implementation has reduced the decoder’s
logic gate count by 6% which directly cuts the production cost
of each chip incorporating a WebM hardware decoder. Furthermore,
the revamped design allows us to do even more optimizations for
the next release. With future video requirements in mind, we
designed Driver to decode up to 4k by 4k video resolutions. To
make the IP evaluation easier for a chip company, the
deliverables now include a bit-exact decoder C-model. This
allows partners to create their own test cases for thorough
performance analysis. Modern |

Well, when I finished the documentary, I thought this could make
a great dance feature, because I had seen all of them, in terms
of the urban dance genre. I lived the drama of this event, which
had pretty much like a Cinderella ending. I realized this would
make for a great feature. After we premiered at the Tribeca Film

to make this a features." We went with Tripp Vinson and Beau

Moyer He had a nice run, but Jamie Moyer's career is finally
over. Topps was nice enough to include a card of him in the
Update set. Unfortunately, something is missing from the back,
though. Take a look. I don't think I've seen this before on a
Topps card....incomplete career stats. Instead of going back to
his debut with the Cubs in 1986, Topps starts with his 1995
stats. Last year they were able to squeeze in his entire
career. But I guess they didn't want to go with a small font on
the 2012 card. What a shame. The guy has a career that lasted
26 years, but Topps couldn't deviate from its template and put
in his entire career. Boo! This is Moyer's first card as a
major leaguer, issued by the Cubs in 1986. Who would have
thought that his career wouldn't end until 2012. I sure didn't.

By accident! Don't get all freaked out. It was an accident! The
Easton, PA high school put the Hitler quote "And in the last
analysis, success is what matters" in its 2010 yearbook, not
noticing that it was a Hitlerism. Which, like, either way, it's
kind of an awful quote, isn't it? "Enjoy grownupish life, kids,
also: Succeed or die." The Hitlerness of it is just icing on the
depressing cake. Anyway, here are some other objectionable Nazi
quotes that wind up in yearbooks all the time. "Dance like
nobody's watching, love like you've never been hurt" - Adolf
Hitler (thanks to Max Read for digging up that one) "You don't
go to college to meet your husband, you go to meet your
bridesmaids!" - Joseph Goebbels "Wherever you go, go with all

expected values William Perkins, Mark Tygert, and Rachel Ward
write: If a discrete probability distribution in a model being
tested for goodness-of-fit is not close to uniform, then forming
the Pearson χ2 statistic can involve division by nearly zero.
This often leads to serious trouble in practice — even in the
absence of round-off errors . . . The problem is not merely
that the chi-squared statistic doesn’t have the advertised chi-
squared distribution—a reference distribution can always be
computed via simulation, either using the posterior predictive
distribution or by conditioning on a point estimate of the cell
expectations and then making a degrees-of-freedom sort of
adjustment. Rather, the problem is that, when there are lots of
cells with near-zero expectation, the chi-squared test is mostly

these. Suppose $a \leq n\leq b$. What is the average value of
$r(n)$? What is the standard deviation? Edit: Thanks for the

$a\leq n\leq b$ where $b-a = \Theta(\sqrt{a})$. Let $a,b$ be
like that, and let $C(n)$ be the circle of radius $n$ around a
fixed center. Conjecture. The number of integers $n\in[a,b]$
with $r(n)>0$ is $\Omega(\sqrt{a})$. Furthermore, if $S$ is the
segment of $C(b)$ cut off by a chord of length
$\Omega(\sqrt{a})$ that touches $C(a)$ and if $r_S(n)$ is the

Australian history. It involved the gold prospectors of
Ballarat, Victoria, and was named for the rebels’ hastily
constructed fortification in the Eureka goldfield. The
rebellion was the culmination of long-standing grievances on the
part of the miners, or “diggers,” over exorbitant prospecting-
license fees, brutal police procedures for collecting those
fees, lack of the vote, and lack of representation in the
Legislative Council, and a prohibition against prospecting on
crown lands. While Charles J. La Trobe, the former lieutenant
governor of Victoria who had introduced the license fee in 1851,
pressed the Legislative Council for reform on these issues, the

Abstract: The use of leaves for drinking water is a widespread

behavior is widely described as the use of leaf sponges, it can
actually be found in three different forms: leaf sponges, leaf-
folding, and leaf spoons. Among the chimpanzee community of
Bossou, we can observe all three forms, albeit in different
frequencies. Here I describe the longitudinal record of
manufacture and use of leaf tools for drinking water,
highlighting the learning process underlying the acquisition of
the skill. The degree of laterality evident in both immature and
mature performers is also presented here. The use of leaves for

shopping at a crowded Berkeley, California, grocery store.
Although she has been living in the US for nearly eight years,
she was born and raised in Russia at a time when stores like
this didn't exist. The place is stocked with heirloom tomatoes
and vegan burgers, and Nina loads up her cart. She brings along
her son, Rory, 6, and daughter, Niorline, 5. After depositing
the groceries in her minivan, she drives to the quiet
neighborhood where her husband now lives with his mother. Reiser
will have the kids for the rest of the weekend. Rory tells two
versions of what happened next: + znode *left_child; + znode
*right_child; Version 00 Version 01 On the witness stand
during the December hearing to determine whether his father
should be tried for murder, Rory tells the court that he came

is that value is the QString, which may include ' in some cases.
It must not be removed. Here is the code: QSqlQuery q; q =

You have to use parameters (or placeholders): QSqlQuery q =
QSqlQuery(db); q.prepare("UPDATE " + arr + " SET " + name + " =
:name WHERE question_id = :id"); q.bindValue(":name", value);
q.bindValue(":id", id); It is better to always use parameters
to pass any value to your queries. Appending values to query
string, is subject to sql injection attack, and also may not
always work (as in your situation). share|improve this answer

driver to do it as shown in the MD.Unicorn's answer.

2.425609 | 2.165749 | -1 | POV: Stay connected through stories This article originally
appeared in the August issue of Capital District Pages. An old
Norwegian saying wisely tells us, “It is the duty of the present
to convey the voices of the past to the ears of the future.”
Once upon a summer night, a mother putting her children to bed
suddenly changed course and declared there would be no bedtime
book read. The mother, whisking a blanket off the bed, ordered
the children to follow her. The children lined up like ducklings
behind their mother, and together through the house and out the
door they marched. Outside in the summer night air, the mother
flung the blanket on the ground and the children instinctively
sat down wondering what would come next. Without even a hint of
whining, they had successfully escaped their beds and that
annoying stream of light that always came through the window at
summer bedtimes. As their mother began to tell them a story from
a familiar fairytale, they could hardly believe their good
fortune. There th |

family, especially for children. With that in mind, childhood
vaccine schedules are developed with great care to ensure that
your children are protected from diseases when they are most
vulnerable and when their bodies are best able to build immune
responses to the different vaccines. The immunizations you and
your family members need may vary based on several factors,
including age, where you live, and where you travel. However,
the vast majority of children are best protected by following
the CDC-AAP-AAFP’s Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule.
Below you will find the vaccines your child is recommended to
receive at his or her well-child visits, listed according to the
age he or she would receive the first dose. Hepatitis B
vaccine The hepatitis B virus can be spread through contact
with blood, saliva, body tissues, or the fluids of an infected
person. Many people who contract hepatitis B never discover the

The population of Germany, with a current population of over 80
million, is primarily German. There are about 7 million foreign
residents, the largest single nationality group of whom are
Turkish. Germany has been a prime destination for refugees from
many developing countries, in part because its constitution long
had a clause giving a 'right' to political asylum, but
restrictions over the years have made it less attractive.
Germany has one of the world's highest levels of education,
technological development, and economic productivity. Since the
end of World War II, the number of youths entering universities
has more than tripled, and the trade and technical schools of
the are among the world's best. With a per capita income level
of about $25,000, Germany is a broadly middle class society. A

text: Blown into prime factors [edit] Explanation The title
text explains the comic. An anthropomorphic number 70 is blown
into its prime factors (2, 5 and 7). Prime numbers are numbers
which can not be divided by any number other than itself and 1.
Factors of a number are numbers which can be multiplied together
to produce that number (2x5x7 = 70). 70 has other factors,
including 1, 10, 14, 35 and 70, but 2, 5 and 7 are the only
factors which are prime. All other factors of 70 (other than 1)
can be formed by multiplying two of the prime factors together.

South_africa_hunting_webA zebra skin is hung for sale at an
open-air market in Cape Town, South Africa. Few weeks ago,
columnist Dr Imre Loefler called for the exclusion of NGOs from
the ongoing wildlife policy review talks. This was a baffling
and shocking turn-around. Last year, while still at the helm of
an NGO, the East African Wildlife Society, Loefler set up a
think tank comprising "experts", Government representatives,
landowners and non-governmental organisations. In the same
year, Loefler, who was the think tank's self-appointed chair,
announced in the Society's magazine, Swara, which he used to
propagate his ideologies, that its recommendations had been
forwarded to the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife for evaluation
and preparation of a sessional paper. This, he said, would "form
