TALLAHASSEE — Since he declared for the Florida governor's race in March 2017, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum has stood out — for better or worse.

He trails the field of Democrats in fundraising, though he has often used it to tout that he is the only "non-millionaire" in the race, and has failed to completely distance himself from an FBI corruption probe into Tallahassee City Hall. He also continues to grapple with criticism of a political group that has funded an attack on rival and former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, though he said Tuesday that the group should disclose its donors.

But buoyed by this week's endorsement by billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer, who pledged to support his campaign to the tune of $1 million, Gillum's team says he can still claim the nomination — by shoring up turnout of the African-American vote. It's a strategy that has narrowly propelled other progressive candidates across the country to primary victories. Gillum, the only prominent African-American candidate to run for governor in recent history, could gain from the same route.

"He's not trying to run a color-blind campaign," said Daniel Smith, a professor of political science at the University of Florida: "There's no question Andrew Gillum is running as a black man. He's not running away from that."

But is the attempt to boost black turnout enough to get Gillum to victory in a bellwether state?

"How much are we going to see that core regular black turnout grow?" Smith asked. "There's definitely room for it to grow."

African-Americans counted for about 29 percent of voters in the 2014 Democratic primary, said spokesman Geoff Burgan, mirroring a similar turnout rate in 2010.

"I think the mayor's path to victory heavily involves African-American voters, young voters, people who have typically dropped off" in other gubernatorial races, he said. "If that were to increase in '18, I would say that's a good thing for the state of Florida; that's a good thing for our campaign."

The Democratic Party in Florida has deep roots in the African-American electorate — which makes up about a quarter of the party's registered voters — even if the party's statewide candidates rarely come from its ranks. Aside from Graham, Gillum is also facing off against former Miami Beach mayor Philip Levine, Orlando businessman Chris King and Palm Beach real estate developer Jeff Greene.

Gillum's campaign is banking that explicitly highlighting his life experience and background, and running hard to the left, could appeal to voters who might not otherwise see themselves reflected in the field.

"We know what the definition of insanity is, right?" former Miami-Dade state Sen. Dwight Bullard said. "The Democrats have consistently picked what they presume to be the crossover candidate who could magically make the base excited and galvanize the swing voters they think they need to win the governor's mansion."

Bullard is now the political director for The New Florida Majority, a progressive organization focusing on helping marginalized communities build political power. His group endorsed Gillum, Bullard says, mainly because Gillum's message resonates with an increasingly racially diverse Democratic base.

Although Gillum routinely reaches out to predominantly black audiences on platforms like drive time radio shows, the effect of such outreach is hard to gauge. His press releases have highlighted various appearances on such shows, where he has weighed in on issues like Kanye West's comments on slavery, and endorsements from media personalities like Charlamagne tha God, who hosts Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club," which is syndicated in Florida.

Rep. Shevrin Jones, D-West Park, who is supporting the mayor's candidacy, said Gillum's work reaching out to African-American organizations and communities across the state seeds potential supporters who might not otherwise be measured by typical yardsticks such as polling of likely voters.

He cautioned that Gillum's outreach and appeal extends beyond those communities. Gillum has said his campaign path includes redder areas like the Villages and stops throughout the Panhandle. "Anyone who says that Andrew's campaign is only focusing on getting the black vote out is sadly mistaken," Jones said. "If you look at his supporters, the people who are behind them, a lot of them don't look like me."

But Jones acknowledged that Gillum's candidacy does strike a chord with many of the African-American voters in ways other candidates do not: "They're excited that we have this opportunity to have the first black governor, the opportunity to take over the Governor's mansion," he said. "People listen, people get on board, especially members of the African-American community."

Gillum has hardly shied from talking about race or class, calling for Confederate memorials to be removed and referring back often to his upbringing in Gainesville as the son of a bus driver and construction worker. On a campaign stop at the University of Tampa last year, he spoke with particular frankness about being black in his own city: "There isn't a day that doesn't go by in my city where I'm not driving behind a truck on my way to work that has a big old Confederate flag," he said at the time.

He added that he tries regularly to reassure himself "that they're not talking about me… that they don't mean me and I'm the mayor of this city, and all the other things that you tell yourself to be unpenetrated by the kind of inequality that you get to see and experience every single day that you live and breathe."

Recent history may provide evidence that supports Gillum's base turnout strategy, to a point. Kendrick Meek, perhaps the most recent prominent example of an African-American candidate seeking statewide office, won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in 2010 despite accusations of corruption leveled by Greene, who opposed him in that race.

Greene had sought to link Meek to Boston developer Dennis Stackhouse, who paid Meek's mother Carrie — herself a former U.S. Representative — in consulting fees and leased her a luxury SUV while seeking federal money for a project. Kendrick Meek lobbied for millions to fund the doomed venture, which never materialized, but said he was unaware that Stackhouse had paid his mother as a consultant.

Meek, in turn, bashed Greene for having made his wealth by speculating on the collapse of the mortgage market, and won the contentious primary despite Greene's spending millions on television ads against him.

"It didn't matter how much in the gutter that campaign went," said Smith, the UF professor. "There was a solid backing of African-Americans for Kendrick Meek."

But Meek, who eventually lost to Marco Rubio, also had the benefit of a wider platform as a U.S. Representative, and his mother was one of the first African-Americans elected to Congress. He was also contending against a general election field with much bigger names — former Gov. Charlie Crist running as an independent and Rubio, who had just finished his term as House Speaker.

Gillum, on the other hand, still struggles with name recognition in a race where about a third of the electorate remains undecided. Though Gillum has released digital ads, he is the only major candidate in the Democratic primary who's yet to start airing them on TV, another threshold for reaching voters.

He is also running against three candidates — King, Levine and Greene — who have poured millions of their own dollars into their campaigns. Graham, whose net worth is about $14.4 million, is the daughter of former governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham and has better name recognition across the state. Most recent polling has Gillum in the middle of that pack.

Graham and Gillum's campaigns, in particular, have traded accusations of racism and sexism over a dustup last month sparked by Gillum supporter Leslie Wimes' comments calling the former North Florida congresswoman a "skank." The episode was further exacerbated by an ad attacking Graham funded by The Collective PAC, which describes itself as an organization to help "level the playing field" for candidates of color.

Both have also jockeyed to cast themselves as part of a national trend of progressive victories: Gillum and Graham have each intimated that they could be the next Stacey Abrams — the black woman who in May won the Democratic primary in the race to be Georgia's governor.

But the splintered Democratic field may be a boon for Gillum. Most of those voting for late-entrant Greene or King "are probably not going to be voting" for Gillum regardless, Smith noted. Gillum "doesn't have to peel off that much more. The winner could very much go through with less than 30 percent of the vote."

"If we go back to the 2014 primary election, there are going to be more than a million Democrats turning out in that primary election, considerably more. If you get 300,000 to 400,000 African-Americans to turn out to vote, it can make a difference," Smith added. "Are we going to have 500,000 African-Americans turn out in the Democratic primary? If so, I think Andrew Gillum sails to a win."

This post was updated Friday morning with the news of Tom Steyer's endorsement of Andrew Gillum.


The kitchen isn't just for cooking. It's for making memories.

Monthly Archives: March 2016

Earlier this week I had a chance to visit Northgate Market in West Covina for a cooking class with Chef Martin Guerrero. Since the store was an hour away from me, I decided to take mi amiga, Mayra for the ride, company and well… we just love food! We were excited about learning new things, but most importantly about eating! Peeling a Chile Relleno by scraping the skin with a plastic spoon was a real “Aha!” moment for us. We also learned how to make a quick “Capirotada.” At the end of our class, we received a certificate naming us “Chiles Rellenos and Capirotada Experts”! Ya nos podremos casar! So if you want to learn how to make Chiles Rellenos, receive a free apron and a cookbook, visit a Northgate store near you! Sign up online and join in on the fun! Northgatemarkets.com/Cuaresma. We had such a great time hanging out, tasting food and meeting new people. All the employees were super nice and friendly.

We were so pumped that we decided we would cook something up! Well, I would cook, Mayra would eat. LOL Since we were already at the market, we grabbed a few items and were on our way. Many of you have been asking for Lent dishes so I will be making a delicious dish with one of my favorite ingredients, Knorr bouillon cubes. Knorr adds that authentic Latin flavor to our Lent dishes. There are so many flavors to chose from. If you have never used Knorr bouillon cubes, you should give them a try!

The next day, I hit the kitchen to make Pescado Primavera. Below is the recipe. Make sure you tag me and hashtag #KnorrCelebrations if you make this delicious recipe.

…I headed to the back in hopes to see the familiar. I was looking for the tree that always brought back so many wonderful memories. There it was (Mi Arbol) …dead. It had fallen all by it’s self. What once was full of life with stories and secrets of family past… was gone. It’s almost like it had given up and died of sadness. No more kids to climb it, no more people to use it as shade, no more laughs, and no more tears. It was left to itself and the memories of all who used it. I was saddened to see it there laying on the land with vines growing all over it. I had been looking forward to sitting under that tree like the generations before me and write until I could no longer think. Now I have to find a new place to write. I’ll tackle that problem tomorrow.

My favorite salsa to make is in the molcajete my mother-in-law gave me. This last time I went to Michoacan, I witnessed how chile for the Carne Con Chile was made. They actually mixed tomatillo and regular tomato. So when I made my first batch of salsa after my trip, I decided to make my own version of chile de molcajete based on different things I have seen Abuela and my mom do. So here is my version as many of you have requested.

Instructions
1. Roast tomatillo, red tomato and chile on a comal or pan until tender (low to medium heat to get a good roast).
2. While everything roasts, sprinkle Sea Salt (as desired) on your molcajete.
3. Add 1/2-1 garlic clove.
4. Mash garlic and salt together until it turns into a paste (Add a sprinkle of water if needed.)
5. Add serrano chile to the molcajete and mash as much as you can.
6. Add one tomatillo and tomato at a time, mashing each one.
7. Add chopped cilantro and slices of onion to the mix.
(For added flavor, mash some of the onion in the molcajete.)
8. Mix and taste.
9. Add salt or lemon if it needs more.

Growing up in a home where both parents worked from dawn till dusk, I didn’t get to see much of them. Our family days were Sundays. We would get up and have a full on Mexican breakfast that consisted of coffee, eggs, beans, tortillas and pan dulce. I wasn’t in favor of the beans in the morning, but I ate them anyway. While my mom cooked, I would make my way to the local panaderia, Arreola’s Bakery in Lennox, CA to buy any ingredient we needed, fresh pan dulce, my dad’s paper (La Opinion), saladitos (for later) and a Mazapan to eat on the way home. We would take our time eating. My dad would read his paper, we would all sip on our coffee (yes, we drank coffee as kids) and then all of a sudden the dreaded moment…family talk. My dad was so strict I had to be careful with my words. I was a good kid for the most part, but I still was scared to say any word that would insinuate any sinful nature. But once that part of the day was over, we would enjoy a nice trip.

We would all get dressed nicely and gather our stuff to be out all day. We never knew where we would end up. All of us would hop in his old, beat up beach bum Volkswagon van and head on out. We would drive to San Pedro and visit the aquarium, or to Palos Verdes, park and enjoy the coastal view. Sometimes we would go to Redondo Beach and visit every family member in town. Those were the long days for us kids. What was a kid to do in those days of no ipod, ipads or a DS? We sat there bored as could be wishing we could at least blink. The family visits were fine but what we didn’t like (not even my mom), was when my dad wanted to visit his friends. OH MAN!!!!! WWlll would break out…. Let’s just leave it at that.

My parents were hard working and I know it was all for us, the kids. My dad made sure we had a roof over our head and all the bills were payed. My mom made sure we always had food waiting for us when we got home even when she knew she wouldn’t be around. She owned her own beauty salon in El Segundo, CA and it was thriving and it became very demanding. Even then she would wake up extra early before work and cook a full on meal so we could eat after school or just in case she didn’t make it home by dinner time. But one question I’ve always had was, why wasn’t there ever any chile or salsa available? Y el Chile? Come to think of it, my dad didn’t eat chile. There was no medical reason or indigestion problems LOL! I think he just didn’t like it for some. Maybe it was something he didn’t grow up with.

Since we didn’t have salsa or chile regularly at home, my siblings and I never really were fond of it. More like we couldn’t handle the heat. Till this day, my brother isn’t a huge fan of the things that are too spicy. But through the years I have grown to love and enjoy salsa. I have even experimented with making different types and I love it! I don’t even know how I lived without it! Now my food needs it and can’t enjoy a good traditional Mexican dish without it.

Y el chile? Let me make some!

Right as the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos were getting set for kickoff on Thursday night, a fan jumped from the third level of the O.co Coliseum.

According to Katie Nelson of the Oakland Tribune, the fan jumped shortly before the scheduled kickoff time of 5:30 p.m. PT. The person was taken by ambulance to the hospital and is listed in serious condition according to Oakland police.

The identity of the person has not been released.

The Raiders released a statement on the incident via NBC Bay Area. “While we do not yet have any information beyond that which has been publicly reported, our thoughts and prayers are with this gentleman and his family and friends.“

Cultural Freefall Part 1: Recovering from the Fall

What did we lose at the Fall? Some say Heaven. Some say a life of ease. Some say unity, harmony, etc.

We lost dominion. We went from dominion of the Creation to wanting to dominate the created. Man was given dominion over the fish of the sea and fowl of the air, etc., but not over other human beings.

Man lost clarity. His worldview—His thought processes were corrupted in the Fall. Because he was separated from God, his ability to think God’s thoughts was also distorted. Man lost his reference point for Truth because now the world revolved around himself instead of his world revolving around God.

The Dialectic Process

The first use of the Dialectic Process was at the Fall. It is what Satan did to Eve in the Garden and is still the tactic of choice for deception around the world. The Dialectic is the process through which one is moved from a belief in absolute Truth to a belief in relativism.

We are living in a culture that is so far from the concept of dominion that today there are many who claim the name of Christ who have bought into pluralism and/or syncretism to such a degree that they do not even believe Christians have a right to influence the world around them.

We have, on the other extreme, Christians who believe that politics is the only way to influence the world around them. Theirs is a more external-to-internal approach, and while it can at least keep the debate alive in the Public Square, it is limited in potential success because it does not address the heart issues without which there can be no lasting change. At least this group believes they should have a cultural voice.

Now that you know what the Dialectic Process is, you will become more aware of how semantics are used constantly to change the worldview of individuals and thus whole cultures. You can decide to either continue being processed on the conveyor belt of history or become a world changer for Christ by using God’s definitions. At all times you are either being influenced by your culture or being the influencer who is changing your culture. Which are you? The choice is yours.


ST. Cheap Nike Tanjun Shoes . LOUIS – The series shifts to the Gateway City, where friendly Cardinals fans are ready to pour into Busch Stadium for a live look at their beloved teams fourth World Series appearance since 2004. The switch to National League rules will have a significant effect on the Red Sox lineup. Mistakes, on Wednesday night by the Cardinals and on Thursday by the Red Sox, have cost each team a game in this series. Were down to a best-of-five and St. Louis has home field advantage, although it must win three in a row to clinch here. Game 3 Preview: Pitching Matchup: Red Sox RHP Jake Peavy (Regular season: 12-5, 4.17, 1.147 WHIP in 144.2IP; Playoffs: 2GS: 0-1, 8.31, 1.5 WHIP in 8.2IP) How the Cardinals match up: Peavy spent the first eight years of his career with the San Diego Padres and there are three Cardinals whove played long enough that they remember Peavys days in the National League. Carlos Beltran: 8-20, .400/.480/.800, 1 HR, 3 2B, 1 3B, 6 RBI, 4 BB.Matt Holliday: 8-28, .286/.474/.393, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 10 BB, 7 K.Yadier Molina: 4-22, .182/.182/.182, 1 RBI, 5 K. Lineup Considerations: The Red Sox are well aware that Mike Napoli will be relegated to a bench role in Game 3, as David Ortiz takes over first base in order to keep his bat in the lineup. There is no designated hitter under National League rules. "I think that we certainly have a little bit of a disadvantage, just simply because of the way our roster is constructed as opposed to theirs," said Peavy. "Theyre a National League ballclub, and theyre going to play with their normal lineup, with the way they were built. Being an American League team, were going to miss a huge middle of the lineup bat." Also, manager John Farrell has confirmed left-handed hitting Daniel Nava will start in left field over Jonny Gomes, who played in the first two games at Fenway Park. "With the amount of ground to cover in left field, the left-right matchups against Kelly," said Farrell. "Hell continue to factor in here." Pitching Matchup: Cardinals RHP Joe Kelly (Regular season: 10-5, 2.69, 1.355 WHIP in 124IP; Playoffs: 3GS, 0-1, 4.41, 1.531 WHIP in 16.1IP) How the Red Sox match up: Only Shane Victorino and Stephen Drew, playing in the National League in 2012, have faced Kelly. Each has three plate appearances. Drew has a triple against Kelly and Victorino drew a walk. Lineup Considerations: With the right-hander Peavy pitching for Boston, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny will continue to play Matt Adams at first base. Allen Craig, who has two hits in the World Series serving as the designated hitter, has taken ground balls and is closer to being able to play the field. Craig was activated in time for the Fall Classic, having been out since September 4 with a sprained foot. Game 3 Prediction: With so many unknown factors, including the big mistakes weve seen so far, this predicting has become a challenge. If you look at Kellys season and playoff WHIP, it would suggest were going to see the Red Sox with runners on base. Can they cash them? Sure, but the Cardinals scratch and claw at Peavy and the bullpens will sort this game out. St. Louis is better and so the Cardinals will win, 6-5. Nike Tanjun Cheap Outlet .com) - The surprising Calgary Flames host the winless New Jersey Devils at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Friday. Cheap Nike Tanjun China . Inter moved five points behind fourth-place Fiorentina and eight points behind third-place Napoli, which visits relegation-threatened Sassuolo on Sunday. http://www.niketanjunoutlet.com/ . -- Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer will be out three to six weeks with a stress fracture of the third finger of his right hand.MIAMI -- By now, Lance Stephensons list of egregious acts from Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals are well-known: He blew air into LeBron James ear, interrupted a Miami Heat huddle and got caught flopping for the second time. And on Thursday, the Heat tried to get their focus back on themselves. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra almost never holds a practice the day after a road game, especially when the team plane lands around 3:30 a.m. as was the case in the wee hours of Thursday. But Spoelstra deviated from the norm on the day before Game 6 of this East title series, not for any one on-court issue but rather so the two-time defending NBA champions could relieve some frustration. "Clear heads ... and to connect," Spoelstra said. "We didnt want to leave it all to tomorrow. There were some things we wanted to go over, and for times sake, splitting it up was a little bit more efficient." The Heat still lead the series 3-2, and get the chance to close the Pacers out for the third straight year on Friday night. The game is in Miami, where the Heat have won their last 10 playoff contests. Predictably, the talk on the off day wasnt so much about Paul George scoring 37 points to lead his team to a season-saving win, or even how James was held to seven points on a night that he was rendered silent for long stretches because of foul trouble. Instead, the buzz was almost entirely about Stephenson, who has simultaneously become a Heat frustration and Internet sensation. Images of his already-infamous ear-blowing stunt were widely distributed on social media moments after it occurred in Game 5, and he didnt back down Thursday when asked about his desire to pester the Heat. "Just playing ball, man, having fun and enjoying the moment," Stephenson said. Spoelstra didnt react when Stephenson -- who said James was showing signs of "weakness" earlier in the series -- crashed the Heat huddle. Much like his players, Spoelstra didnt bite when asked about the excitable Pacer guards attempts to throw Miami off its game. "Very bbizarre game," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. Discount Nike Tanjun Shoes. "Weird game. But its over." Indiana coach Frank Vogel didnt seem to mind the huddle move, though suggested the ear-blowing decision was a bit much. "People are in my huddle all the time. Every player in the NBA does that. Thats nothing," Vogel said. "Blowing in his face probably crosses the line. Thats not really who we are. We want to be a competitive team, but we dont want to cross the line." Stephenson and Pacers centre Roy Hibbert flew to Miami with slightly lighter wallets; Stephenson was fined $10,000 by the NBA on Thursday for his second flop of the series, Hibbert $5,000 for another flopping violation. It marked the second time in as many games that a Pacer has drawn a fine, with George having gotten dinged for $25,000 after blasting the officiating following Indianas loss in Game 4. In Georges case, the money might have seemed well-spent. Indiana took 22 free throws in Game 5 to Miamis eight, a total that matched the fewest any team has shot in a playoff game since 2006. "We just didnt get to the free-throw line," James said. "We were aggressive ... we shot the ball extremely well. We just didnt get to the line." Almost everything went wrong for Miami in Game 5, and the Heat still nearly won. James shot just 2 for 10 in 24 minutes, and got his fifth foul with 8 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter, with the Heat leading by eight. Miami went scoreless on nine of its first 12 possessions after James checked out and the Pacers used that stretch to build a five-point lead, the margin eventually reaching seven when George connected on a 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer. Down by as many as 11 in the fourth, Miami had a chance to take the lead in the final seconds, but Chris Boshs 3-pointer bounced away. And with that, the Heat started the process of turning the page to Friday night, when they could punch their fourth straight ticket to the NBA Finals. "Its Game 6," Bosh said. "Its our Game 7."

What’s my property worth?

A number of factors are used to determine the value of a property. Ultimately though, your property is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it.

A number of factors are used to determine the value of a property. Location, size, present use, zoning, stock and sale prices of comparable properties in the area, all contribute to the value. In addition, demographic factors such as population growth and migration patterns, and economic factors including interest rates can have a significant impact.

Ultimately though, your property is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. A real estate agent can give you a comparable market analysis on your property.

Field of the Invention:
The present invention relates to an arrangement for difference pulse code modulation (DPCM) coding of television signals, in which respective estimated values are subtracted from digitized picture element signals and the difference signals obtained are utilized for signal transmission following quantization and coding, and comprising a recursive signal path that, in turn, comprises a first adder for forming reconstructive picture element signals from the quantized difference signals and the estimated values, and comprises a limiter, a predictor for forming the estimated values and a subtractor for forming the difference signals.
Description of the Prior Art
An arrangement of the type set forth above is generally known from the publication Proc. IEEE, vol. 73, No. 4, Apr. 1985, pp. 592-598, particularly FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, and will be explained here with reference to a basic circuit diagram as shown in FIG. 1 of the present application. A sequence of digitized picture element signals s is received at an input 1 of the arrangement, the picture element signals s being supplied via sample and hold stages that are not illustrated. In order to reduce the data flow, efforts have been undertaken to remove redundant and irrelevant portions of the video signal in order, for example, to reduce the bit transmission rate without thereby deteriorating the picture quality. In detail, this occurs in that it is not the successive picture element signals that are transmitted via the transmission channel to a receiver, but only the difference signals that are formed by forming the difference between a respective current picture element signal s and an estimated value s identified in a predictor on the basis of the preceding picture element signals. Such a method is also referred to as difference pulse code modulation (DPCM).
The difference formation required for a DPCM coding is carried out in a subtractor 2 whose first input is connected to the input 1 and whose second input is connected to a predictor 3. Each difference signal .DELTA. that is also referred to as an estimated error is quantized in a quantizer 4, whereby the difference signal .DELTA..sub.q =.DELTA.+.sub.q that occurs and is affected by the quantizing error q, is coded in a coder 5 and is supplied to a transmission channel by way of an output 6. A recursive signal path that extends from the circuit point 7 at the output of the quantizer 4 contains a first adder 8, a limiter 9 and a predictor 3, and is connected to the second input of the subtractor 2 for forming the estimated value The output of the predictor 3 is further connected to a second input of the first adder 8 that forms what is referred to as a reconstructed picture element signal s.sub.R by addition of the quantized difference signal .DELTA..sub.q and the estimated value The predictor 3 supplies the estimated value s from at least one of the preceding picture element signals for every current picture element signal s.
When, according to FIG. 2, the current picture element lying in the line n in a television picture is referenced X, the picture element sampled immediately therebefore is referenced A, the picture element of the preceding line n-1 corresponding to X is referenced C and the picture elements aligned adjacent the latter and sampled immediately before or, respectively, after the element C are referenced B and D. When the corresponding picture elements of the preceding picture m-1 are referenced X' and A'-D', then the following occurs. For forming the estimated value s for the picture element signal of the picture element X, the picture element signals of at least one of the points A-D are utilized, whereby one speaks of a 2-dimensional (2D) prediction. When, in addition thereto or exclusively therefrom, the picture element signals of at least one of the picture elements X' and A'-D' are used, then a 3-dimensional (3D) prediction is present. In the former case, the estimated value s can be identified, for example, according to the 2D-estimating equation EQU s=.alpha.s.sub.A +.beta.s.sub.B +.gamma.s.sub.C +.delta.s.sub.D ( 1)
and in the latter case can be estimated, for example, according to the 3D-estimating equation EQU s=s.sub.X ( 2)
wherein s.sub.A is the reconstructed picture element signal of the picture element A, s.sub.B is the reconstructed picture element signal of the picture element B, etc, and wherein the coefficients .alpha., .beta., .gamma. and .delta. represent weighting factors that are assigned to the individual picture element signals. The estimated equation (2) is recommended when the contrast of the current picture element X to the picture elements surrounding the picture element X is low, this being referred to as "activity".


So I was at Dragon*con when I picked up food poisoning. I spent Saturday night in the bathroom and all day Sunday vomiting anything I tried to eat. I was achy, whiny and pretty miserable all day Sunday.

It was still the best Dragon*con ever.

They moved the comic artists out of the sub basement they usually put them in and placed them out in the open next to the artist gallery. The difference in energy was amazing. Instead of claustrophobic artists crowded on top of each other, they were spread out with big nice tables. Plus, they were smiling!

Television and Movie stars are surrounded by handlers so that you don’t get within stabbing distance. Comic artists hang out and anwser any lame question you have for them. I embarrassed Michael Golden with my praise for him. Mike Mignola talked to me about Screw-On Head and Hellboy. Brandon Peterson and I swapped stories about middle management. It was fucking fantastic.

Amanda Conner did the wonderful evil version of Power Girl drawing I have featured here. In a weird way, I am prouder that I got her to laugh when I suggested a Kryptonion Goldfish who lives in a Fishbowl of Solitude. I commissioned the piece and we both got food poisoning the same day. She still managed to get this out to me which makes her a Power Girl in her own right.

Rich Larson created two images of Texanah and Erishella for me. They are both stunning and I will be giving them their own post. The Erishella one especially is going up on my wall.

We attended the Venture Brothers panel and got a 15 minute sneak peek at the next season. We watched Shatner and Nimoy bicker like a married couple. We watched Kate Mulgrew be magnificent as usual. We also cosplayed as Fallout 3 Vault 101 people which is something I have never done before. My wife and I were adorable.

Which brings me to my anti-anxiety prescription drug, Lexapro. Holy fuck. I was a different person this year. I had the confidence to talk to people I admire. I had the confidence to talk to total strangers I met in the halls. I didn’t have a single freak out moment this year which has never happened. Heck, I actually dressed up in a costume and posed for pictures. I guess I’m just saying if you have anxiety issues, go seek out pharmaceutical options. I wish I did this years ago.

I’ve been reading your blog and all the anxiety entries. Has bipolar disorder ever been suggested to you? Your creative highs followed by anxiety can be symptomatic. Sounds kinda like hypo-mania to me rather than out and out mania.

And yes, drugs. Love ’em. Fuck anybody who thinks they know anything about this stuff who hasn’t suffered it and felt better after finding the right chemical cocktail.

Hang in there. As one poet friend remarked: “You’re in good company. Remember, Virginia Woolf was also bipolar”.

Hey BZ, I have bipolar friends and their behavior is a constant source of annoyance, frustration and sympathy. It has crossed my mind and it is something I watch for, though I don’t really show many symptoms of it.

What really amazes me about my current chemical aids is how it hasn’t affected my creativity. I was so afraid of turning numb and if anything, I am writing more because I am a bit more fearless.

King Abdullah of Jordan Vows Eastwood-Like Vengeance on IS Via @benk84's morning dump, here's a leader with actual blood in his veins, rather than the mix of estrogen, Ensure, and Cowardice and Vagina in Obama's. Members of the House Armed Services Committee met with Jordan's King Abdullah Tuesday not long after news broke that ISIS had burned to death a Jordanian pilot captured in the fight against the terrorist group. In a private session with lawmakers, the king showed an extraordinary measure of anger -- anger which he expressed by citing American movie icon Clint Eastwood. "He said there is going to be retribution like ISIS hasn't seen," said Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr., a Marine Corps veteran of two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, who was in the meeting with the king. "He mentioned 'Unforgiven' and he mentioned Clint Eastwood, and he actually quoted a part of the movie." ... "He's angry," Hunter said of King Abdullah. "They're starting more sorties tomorrow than they've ever had. They're starting tomorrow. And he said, 'The only problem we're going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.'"

I'm sure that he asked Obama for his counsel and aid, given that all world leaders turn to America in a crisis. I'm sure that he asked Obama for his counsel and aid, given that all world leaders turn to America in a crisis.

Hunter said there was no mention of President Obama during the bipartisan meeting, either by King Abdullah or by any of the lawmakers in the room. Oh right because Obama is an anti-american, terrorist-sympathizing pussy. M'bad, as the kids say. Oh right because Obama is an anti-american, terrorist-sympathizing pussy.as the kids say.

Can syringe exchange serve as a conduit to substance abuse treatment?
To determine how the city-run New Haven syringe exchange program (SEP) expedited requests, for entry into treatment, records of the SEP's drug treatment coordinator were analyzed. During the study period, a majority of those requesting treatment did not use the SEP to obtain sterile syringes. Comparisons between the people requesting treatment and those exchanging syringes revealed that those requesting treatment were more likely female and less like White. Factors associated with failure to enter treatment included long lag times, worse insurance, cocaine use, and requesting primary detoxification only. Majorities of the requests, appointments, and entries came from individuals whose treatment was to be paid through city welfare. A managed care initiative from the city welfare department, which excluded the SEP, halved requests or entries. Subsequent addition of the SEP to the initiative did not significantly increase requests or entries. Although the SEP initially acted as a conduit to treatment its effectiveness was curtailed by the imposition of bureaucratic restrictions.


Dysfunctional inhibitory control in Parkinson's disease patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesias.
Chronic dopamine replacement therapies in Parkinson's disease can induce side effects, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesias and impulse control disorders. A dysfunction of inhibitory brain networks has been related to both disorders; however, there is no clear behavioral evidence supporting this hypothesis. We aimed to determine whether PD patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesias show features of increased impulsivity in parallel with altered motor inhibition. Two matched samples of Parkinson's disease patients with (n = 14) or without (n = 14) levodopa-induced dyskinesias and a control group (n = 10) participated in the study. All groups were evaluated by the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 to assess impulsivity traits. Furthermore, participants performed a stop signal task to evaluate reactive-motor inhibition and a Go/NoGo task to evaluate proactive-inhibitory control. PD patients were tested both in OFF and ON levodopa medication. Parkinson's disease patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesias showed higher impulsivity scores than PD patients without levodopa-induced dyskinesias. Dyskinetic patients presented also delayed stop signal reaction times indicating a worse performance in reactive inhibition. The slowness in inhibiting a motor command correlated with the impulsiveness scores. Furthermore, in the dyskinetic group, a positive correlation was found between stop reaction times and the severity of involuntary movements. Under the effect of levodopa, all patients were faster but dyskinetic patients were significantly less accurate in proactive inhibition. Inhibitory control is compromised in dyskinetic patients in parallel with increased impulsivity, revealing an impairment of motor and behavioral inhibitory control in Parkinson's disease patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesias.


Q:

Beginner Python Monte Carlo Simulation

I'm a beginner at Python and am working through exercises set by our instructor. I am struggling with this question.
In the Python editor, write a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the value of the number π.
Specifically, follow these steps:
A. Produce two arrays, one called x, one called y, which contain 100 elements each,
which are randomly and uniformly distributed real numbers between -1 and 1.
B. Plot y versus x as dots in a plot. Label your axes accordingly.
C. Write down a mathematical expression that defines which (x, y) pairs of data points
are located in a circle with radius 1, centred on the (0, 0) origin of the graph.
D. Use Boolean masks to identify the points inside the circle, and overplot them in a
different colour and marker size on top of the data points you already plotted in B.
This is what I have at the moment.
import numpy as np
import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
np.random.seed(12345)
x = np.random.uniform(-1,1,100)
y = np.random.uniform(-1,1,100)
plt.plot(x,y) //this works

for i in x:
    newarray = (1>math.sqrt(y[i]*y[i] + x[i]*x[i]))
plt.plot(newarray)

Any suggestions?

A:

as pointed out in the comment the error in your code is for i in x should be for i in xrange(len(x))
If you want to actually use a Boolean mask as said in the statement you could do something like this
    import pandas as pd
    allpoints = pd.DataFrame({'x':x, 'y':y})

    # this is your boolean mask
    mask = pow(allpoints.x, 2) + pow(allpoints.y, 2) < 1
    circlepoints = allpoints[mask]

    plt.scatter(allpoints.x, allpoints.y)
    plt.scatter(circlepoints.x, circlepoints.y)

increasing the number of point to 10000 you would get something like this

to estimate PI you can use the famous montecarlo derivation
    >>> n = 10000
    >>> ( len(circlepoints) * 4 ) / float(n)
    <<< 3.1464

A:

You are close to the solution. I slightly reshape your MCVE:
import numpy as np
import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

np.random.seed(12345)

N = 10000
x = np.random.uniform(-1, 1, N)
y = np.random.uniform(-1, 1, N)

Now, we compute a criterion that makes sense in this context, such as the distance of points to the origin:
d = x**2 + y**2

Then we use Boolean Indexing to discriminate between points within and outside the Unit Circle:
q = (d <= 1)

At this point lies the Monte Carlo Hypothesis. We assume the ratio of uniformly distributed points in the Circle and in the plane U(-1,1)xU(-1,1) is representative for the Area of the Unit Circle and the Square. Then we can statistically assess pi = 4*(Ac/As) from the ratio of points within the Circle/Square. This leads to:
pi = 4*q.sum()/q.size # 3.1464

Finally we plot the result:
fig, axe = plt.subplots()
axe.plot(x[q], y[q], '.', color='green', label=r'$d \leq 1$')
axe.plot(x[~q], y[~q], '.', color='red', label=r'$d > 1$')
axe.set_aspect('equal')
axe.set_title(r'Monte Carlo: $\pi$ Estimation')
axe.set_xlabel('$x$')
axe.set_ylabel('$y$')
axe.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1, 1), loc='upper left')
fig.savefig('MonteCarlo.png', dpi=120)

It outputs:


NZDUSD H1 – VSA+Reversals trading +37Pips

NZDUSD is moving in a trading range. The area between the upper and lower trend lines is known as the trading range. In VSA terms, the (sideways) market is trading within its range, and will continue to do so until applied (selling or buying) effort makes it break out.

A trader who uses VSA principles will analyse price action in the top and bottom quarters of the trading range, because important observations take place in these areas, as the price heads for the supply or support lines.

The area above the supply (higher) trend line is known as overbought and the area below the support (lower) trend line is referred to as oversold.

One more important line in this chart – long-term resistance. Price already several times reversed near this line. Therefore, it is important to observe price behavior near this area.

Circles in summerboard for scrolling

but is there anyway to get rid of the circles that you can see when scrolling between pages in summer board
I'm wondering if there just an image that can be found somewhere that i could just delete or replace


You did not address my point. I don't care what the "sects' say, but I do care about what carefully done scholarship points to. Tatahagatgarbha sutras are quite late in terms of Buddhism in India, certainly postdating them by a very long time in comparison to the Nikayas/Agamas. I'll be happy to trot the scholarship on this, but you first, given you are the one making a claim that has a rather poor handle on the issues around the issues of the dates of the texts.

yes and like wise I can trot scholarship who like wise say the entire pali canon does not date back to the time of the Buddha,and that the majortiy if it under went numerous copiling and reworking and put into catagories ect...on top of their views that almost the entire KN was created after Mahayana.so whats your point??

its common knowledge that in the Gandhara scrolls BOTH the Pali canon and Mahayana suttas/sutras are represented.as far as people dating a text to the time of the Buddha without a single shred of evidence well that isn't actually fact that is called opinion (which is in truth what the majority of scholars have done since they don't have any evidence to back up their dating claims)

but your more than welcome to provide ONE single carbon dated pali canon sutta that was carbon dated to the time of the Buddha.

also i'm making the claim that their is no evidence for such, YOU are making the claim there is evidence,it is actually up to YOU to provide actual PROOF(not conjecture) that the suttas OR sutras date back to the Buddha cause i'm saying NEITHER can PROVE to be dated back to the Buddha.

In Buddhism buddha nature has many names, and depend on what Buddha was talking about, he liked to give it different names. Names such as Buddha nature, Boddhi mind, ultimate mind, pure mind, pure awareness, ultimate reality, bare knowingness, emptiness, no mind are some of the words that point directly at the Awaken. In the beginning of Buddha's teaching he never talked about this mind. For him it is important that people learned to let go. Anything that our thinking mind can grasp at, is a defect on the path of enlightenment. Therefore Buddha wanted people to let go. "To let go" does not mean to reject, but to have a relax relation to whatever it is.

Buddha was actually a very clever man and a good teacher. His knowledge was divided into three periods of teaching. The first period is called "The first turning of the wheel". During this first period he stated that life contained suffering. There is a way out of suffering, and the path to end suffering. Actually during this time he never really talked about what Buddha nature is. The goal of this teaching was to reach Nirvana, the end of suffering.

In the "Second turning of the wheel" he talked about the inherit aspect of every phenomena. During this period he talked much about Emptiness, emptiness of self, of no-self, of suffering, of duality...ect. In short everything is egoless. Nothing can exist by its own. It needs everything else in order to come into existence. Even if it seems to come into existence, it is never really there. It is only a vast emptiness display as a magical illusion before our eyes/senses. From this teaching the sutra Prajnaparamita came into the world. During this time whoever encountered Buddha was influenced by his talk about egolessness and his knowledge of Emptiness. In this period he stated, there is no enlightenment nor end of enlightenment. There is no Nirvana, no Samsara, no ignorance nor end of ignorance. Everything was just a vast Emptiness!

People who did not understood him thought, there was nothing at all. They thought everything was just a great blank and void nothingness, but this was not the case. Buddha didn't mean that there was absolutely nothing. Many people - still today - have misunderstood this aspect of Buddha's teaching. To believe there is absolutely nothing then who is it that seemingly live in this physical body?

So because Buddha was concerned that a number of people misunderstood his teaching and hold on that nothing - absolutely nothing - exist then he did the "Third turning of the wheel". During this period he pointed directly at the mind and said within Emptiness something seems to be there. It is not a thing, a subject, a object but a mere Knowingness, Pure Awareness; Buddha mind. It does not belong to anyone, it is not a self, not a body, not a thought. It is pure beyond the concept of being born and not born. It is the Knower without anyone who knows. It is the Witness without anyone witnessing. It is beyond words or any conceptual construct. It has always been there, but if we try to find it (as an object to identify) we have missed the point, have not understood the teaching. It has the capacity to know itself, know about its presence, but it can never look at it, because it is not an object, a subject or any sensory phenomena.

This marked the last teaching of the Buddha. Just before he died, he said "Take my dharma as your light. Walk the path and exam my words!".

So far we know, the sutras were written long after Buddha had entered Nirvana. Today no one really knows with 100% what Buddha said or did not say. There is no deal in making a big quarrel out of that. We just need to use our common sense and exam Buddha's words. Throw away what cannot be used. Collect them up later if they seem to be true! We must be our own light just as the Buddha said before he died.

Until 1994, the only Gāndhāri manuscript available to the scholars was a birch bark scroll of a Buddhist text, the Dhammapada, discovered at Kohmāri Mazār near Hotan in Xinjiang in 1893 CE. From 1994 on, a large number of fragmentary manuscripts of Buddhist texts, seventy-seven altogether,[1] were discovered in eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan. These include:[2]29 fragments of birch-bark scrolls of British Library collection consisting of parts of the Dhammapada, Anavatapta gāthā, the Rhinoceros Sutra, Sangitiparyaya and a collection of sutras from the Anguttara Nikaya. 129 fragments of palm leaf folios of Schøyen collection, 27 fragments of palm-leaf folios of Hirayama collection and 18 fragments of palm leaf folios of Hayashidera collection consisting of the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra and the Bhadrakalpikā sutra. 24 birch-bark scrolls of Senior collection consists of mostly different sutras and the Anavatapta gāthā. 8 fragments of a single birch-bark scroll and 2 small fragments of another scroll of University of Washington collection consisting of probably an Abhidharma text or other scholastic commentaries.

I did support the claim did you not even read what I posted???you might not know the name of all the Buddha nature sutras(Tathagatagarbha) what i highlighted in BLUE is the main Tathagatagarbha sutra so I have supported my claim.

as far as our seperate discussion about "dating" what I am saying is not a bold claim,its common knowledge that the oldest carbon dated Buddhist texts is a mixture of BOTH the Pali canon and Mahayana textshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C4%81ndh ... B_language

Having read the Suttas the Buddha does not say No-self is suffering. The Buddha said self is suffering and this self and any idea of self or independent entities are only a construct of the Skandha. There can neither be self in any of the aggregates. What makes the self appear is clinging to it and also any other concept of independent entity. Dependent origination negates the possibility of any entity that is a self.

The Buddha equates existence with suffering and self. Once existence is eliminated the threshold of Nirvana is gained. Who sees dependent origination sees the Damma and who sees the Damma sees the Buddha. Beyond the damma there is no Buddha and no self and no suffering.

The twelve components of dependent origination are the three categories of afflictions, actions and suffering. Past, present and future. These again are nothing but ignorance, craving and clinging causing the delusion of existence causing suffering. The twelve components are 1) ignorance 2) volition 3) consciousness 4) name and form 5) Six senses 6) contact 7) feeling 8) craving 9) clinging 10) becoming 11) birth 12) death

The Arizona Senate passed a “religious freedom” bill Wednesday, which would effectively allow businesses to deny services to LGBT people.

The bill passed on a party line vote, according to the Arizona Republic. The Republican House majority has already recommended passage of a similar bill in that chamber.

They are examples of one of two kinds of legislation that gay rights advocates worry could lead to LGBT discrimination, as TPM has reported. It requires the government to have a compelling reason to interfere with an individual’s exercise of their religion. That broad language, advocates say, would in practice allow for businesses to discriminate against gay people.

Kentucky is the only state thus far to enact such a law, but similar bills have been introduced this year in Idaho and Mississippi.


Story highlights Palin hopes to offer an alternative to mainstream media

The new channel will cost $9.95 a month

(CNN) Sarah Palin is again going rogue -- this time to the digital world, with the creation of her own online news channel.

The former vice presidential candidate plans to offer viewers an alternative to the "politically correct filter" of mainstream media.

"Are you tired of the media filters? Well, I am," she says in a promotional video. "I want to talk directly to you on our channel on my terms, and no need to please the powers that be."

The new Sarah Palin Channel will cost viewers $9.95 a month, or $99.95 for a year. Active military personnel can subscribe free of charge.

The Multiscale Imaging Core (Core B) will provide advanced structure and function capabilities. services and technical assistance to investigators who need to characterize how tissues. cells, organelles and molecules respond to kinase and phosphatase signaling. The leaders of Core B are leading experts in the development and use of labeling and indicator technology for physiological detection. quantitative imaging, and monitoring of biological processes. They are also recognized authorities on mitochondrial physiology and structure, key to the research goals of all four projects. A common theme among all projects is that perturbation of the precise balance between protein phosphorylation, catalyzed by protein kinases, and protein dephosphorylation, catalyzed by protein phosphatases, can lead to deregulation of insulin homeostasis. Deregulation of this balance can suppress signaling pathways, resulting in insulin resistance, a defining characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. The multi-faceted capabilities of Core B will assist researchers to address the underlying molecular mechanisms driving the assembly and dissociation of protein scaffolds during insulin resistance/insufficiency and are designed to provide novel insights into the organization of signaling networks that influence diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The Core Services Aims are: 1. Enable broad access to fluorescent probes, reporters, and indicators being developed for imaging biochemical and physiological functions of tissues and cells to investigate models of signaling. 2. Enable the probing of biological systems through long-duration, live-cell imaging, large-area imaging of cells and tissues, and correlated 3D light and electron microscopic mapping of probes. 3. Provide real-time, 4D imaging for the localization, monitoring, and characterizations of molecular and supramolecular complexes in vitro, in vivo and in situ. 4. Perform electron microscopy and tomography to characterize mitochondrial structural alterations upon scaffolding complex association/dissociation and component knockdown or knockout. 5. Assay the alteration of kinases, anchoring and scaffolding proteins on the bioenergetic function of mitochondria using state-of-the-art measurements on cells and isolated mitochondria. 6. Provide the supporting computational, visualization, and informatics technologies for functional and multidisciplinary analyses.


Hirudin for management of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type II in a patient with biventricular assist device support.
A patient with severe dilated cardiomyopathy developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type II (HIT II) after implantation of a biventricular assist device (biVAD). Because the patient showed mild renal dysfunction but severe hepatic impairment, the management of anticoagulation was switched from heparin to the direct thrombin inhibitor hirudin, which was administered by continuous infusion of 0.6 to 1 mg/h. This protocol was monitored by measuring the plasma hirudin level, which ranged from 0.5 to 1.5 microg/mL. Unfortunately, the patient died on day 22 after implantation from fulminant sepsis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus. Neither thromboembolic events nor thrombocytopenia was observed after hirudin administration. The explanted biVAD showed no thrombotic material in the arterial/venous lines or on the polyurethane valves. We discuss the challenges posed by HIT II complicating VAD support as well as its clinical management with direct thrombin inhibitors.

Calvary Cathedral (Sioux Falls, South Dakota)

Calvary Cathedral is an Episcopal cathedral in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States. It is the seat of the Diocese of South Dakota.

History

Calvary Church was established in the spring of 1872. Services in the newly built church building were held on August 11 of the same year. Built on the corner of Main Avenue and Ninth Street, it was the first church building constructed in the city of Sioux Falls.  The Rev. W.H. Ross was placed in charge. The lots the church was built on were sold in the summer of 1882 and the building was moved to the corner of Spring Avenue and Tenth Street where the parish had purchased four lots. Four years later an addition was built for Sunday School and guild activities.

John Jacob Astor III contacted the Rt. Rev. William Hobart Hare of the Missionary District of South Dakota shortly after his wife died. She had made financial contributions for several church projects in South Dakota and Astor wanted to build a memorial church in her memory. Hare and Astor decided to build a new cathedral in Sioux Falls and Astor gave a gift of $21,000 for the project. He also gave two more financial gifts that totaled a further $5,000.  The cornerstone for the present cathedral was laid on December 5, 1888 and the church was completed the following autumn. It was consecrated on December 18, 1889 as St. Augusta's Church after Astor's late wife, Charlotte Augusta.  On September 13, 1890 the two lots on which the church was built were transferred to the Chapter of Calvary Cathedral. The church was renamed St. Augusta's Cathedral on February 28, 1890. It has subsequently reverted to the Calvary name.

Abstract. P-RISC graphs are parallel, structured, executable controlflow
graphs that model locality properties of distributed memory machines.
P-RISC graphs have coarse grain parallelism for distribution of
work to processors, and fine grain parallelism to overlap latencies of
remote accesses and synchronization. These properties support dynamic
and irregular parallelism. In this paper, we describe P-RISC graphs, how
they are used to implement the implicitly parallel programming language
Id, and how they are implemented on distributed memory machines. We
also contrast our approach to Berkeley's TAM, a similar system.

1 Introduction

HPF [4] is an example of a trend back towards shared memory programming
models, even though massively parallel machines are implemented with distributed
memories. This approach is regaining popularity because it is now
widely recognized that writing explicit message-passing programs is extremely
hard even for a fixed configuration, and even harder if it is to be portable and
tunable. However, for good performance on distributed memory systems, locality
is very important. Today, it is infeasible to achieve completely automatic
distribution of data and processes for good locality. The HPF solution is to rely
on the programmer to specify data distribution of arrays. The compiler analyzes
this information and uses it to distribute loop iterations close to their data; to
batch communications (reducing overhead), and to overlap communication with
computation (reducing idling) [5].

We are interested in more general shared memory programs where data structures
may be irregular (trees, graphs, sparse arrays, ...), may be dynamically allocated,
and may have data-dependent shapes and sizes. Further, such programs
obtain much parallelism from producer-consumer situations, where a data structure
is consumed by one process even as it is being built by another. In this
environment, the compiler cannot orchestrate process and data placement in the
manner of HPF compilers. Almost any individual data accesses may be remote,
and may need synchronization.

Our general approach is based on multithreading. Since it is generally not
known until runtime whether a particular data access is local or remote, or
whether it will block (consumer ahead of producer), the processor must be prepared
to multiplex efficiently to another thread instead of idling. But this raises


[Review of models for the analysis of ethical dilemmas].
In pediatric medical practice it is common to encounter situations that represent a dilemma for health professionals. A dilemma occurs when ethical problems found in professional practice cause serious internal conflicts because they imply actions that contradict their colleagues, employees, or their own personal values and are classified as personal value conflicts, conflicts with other professionals, conflicts with clients and with organizations. A literature review allowed identifying different models to debate these types of dilemmas. The present work is a review of the search of scientific articles using databases such as Ebsco Host, ProQuest, Ovid, and InMex as well as metasearch tools such as metacrawler. The models found are as follows: Model of Anne Davis, Nijmegen method, Method of Diego Gracia, Integral method, Bochum Center Ethics model, Model of Brody and Payton, Model of Curtin and Flaherty, Model of Thompson and Thompson, SAD method, Model of Javier Morata, Model of Elaine Congress, IFSW model, Model of Loewenberg and Dolgoff, Ley Social Model, DOER method, Model of Brommer, Model of Corey and Callanan, Model of Pope and Vasquez, Model of Bush, Connell and Denney, Model of Ferrell, Gresham and Fraedrich, and Model of Hunt and Vitell. The key criteria shared in the different models are a) specifying the ethical dilemma, b) description of the facts, c) value definition, moral code and facts, decision making and d) identifying alternative solutions. In order to review the literature, some models are explained with the purpose of identifying and representing critical elements that clinical ethics committees could use in a practical manner in pediatric health institutions in Mexico.
