Jesse Johnson-USA TODAY Sports
Out of the five NBA games scheduled for Christmas Day, the marquee match of the bunch is probably the re-match between last season's NBA finalists, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Miami Heat.
Both the Thunder (21-5) and the Heat (18-9) are in the lead of their respective divisions and look like early favorites to meet in the title game once again. Tuesday's meet-up between the two teams will be the first between them since the NBA finals series that saw the Heat escape with the trophy.
The usual suspects have led the two teams through the start of the season. Kevin Durant has led the Thunder, who are playing with the loss of James Hardin to Houston, with 27.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Lebron James has led the Heat with 25.4 points per game.
The game will be at American Airlines Arena at 3:30 p.m. CT. It will be televised on ABC.

PHOENIX — Arizona has reported 741 car crashes that may have been caused by distracted driving in 2017, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
Quentin Mehr, a spokesman for the department, said distracted driving is simply "anything that takes your eyes off the road," which includes texting, talking on the phone or even eating while driving.
"It can also be something as small as changing the radio station or changing your air conditioning setting," Mehr said. "Those things that are taking your eyes off the road."
Arizona doesn't have a law against distracted driving. But there are city ordinances that address distracted driving, which may include unsafe lane use, speeding, tailgating, impeding traffic, driving too slow or failing to use the turn signal.
Mehr said DPS troopers are constantly looking for distracted drivers on the road. When they see a violation, they take appropriate action, including giving drivers citations or warnings.
He also advises the public to report distracted drivers by dialing 911
"My message to drivers would be when you're behind the wheel of a car [is] be aware of what you're doing and take responsibility for your actions," Mehr said.

"Advice from a caterpillar": the conundrum of EU military spending in times of austerity
Alessandro Giovannini and Giovanni Faleg / Apr 2012

When in June 2011 the U.S. Defence Secretary, Robert Gates, warned that America could abandon NATO if current trends in the shrinkage of defence capabilities were not reversed, European defence establishments must have felt like Alice in front of the Caterpillar: either European defence assets grow bigger, hence complying with alliance commitments, or they get smaller and cede to austerity pressures.
As a recipe against European retreat on defence matters, in August 2011 NATO called for more cooperation between European member states in buying defence equipment, training and specialization of military tasks. The underlying logic of the "smart defence agenda", whose implementation package will be presented at the NATO Summit in Chicago in May 2012, is straightforward: instead of pursuing costly national programmes, allies can seek more cost-effective solutions by pooling and sharing resources.
Burden-sharing is not a new concern in transatlantic relations. Nor is the idea of pooling & sharing of military capabilities in Europe. What the two concepts have in common though is that they appear to be a never-ending struggle, which systematically failed to turn into concrete action. What is new is that the financial crisis, together with some other contingency factors (such as the lessons from the Libya campaign) have made it possible to link the idea of a fairer, hence more significant European contribution to NATO's capabilities in developing a "smart" way to handle defence in an age of austerity through multilateral cooperation.
What happens in NATO is seldom without consequences for the EU side of Brussels. In fact, the US call for new burden sharing and the austerity measures implemented by many European governments have triggered a revival of the discussions on the Europeanization of defence in the EU, boosted by the process known as the "Ghent Framework". Therefore, two important questions arise: first, what impact will this new transatlantic impetus have on the European Union's defence market and, more broadly, on the Common Security and Defence Policy? Second, what are the real prospects for collaboration in a sector where national protectionism and strategic interests are too entrenched to allow for openness and liberalization?
Let us first define what pooling & sharing (P&S) is: it essentially relies upon three components: pooling of procurement of weapons and services, or joint research facilities (such as the A400M transport plane); sharing through the partial or total integration of force structures such as training facilities and setting up joint units; and specialization. By definition, the implementation of a P&S agenda depends upon the effective liberalisation of the European defence market, leading to more competition among defence companies (hence removing national barriers) and the Europeanisation of part of the defence budget, for instance through strengthening the role of the European Defence Agency (EDA).
Over the past two years, three major developments have influenced the debate on more integration in EU defence policy.
First, the provision by the Lisbon Treaty of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) as an instrument allowing groups of member states to cooperate more closely, thus attaining objectives that otherwise would be unattainable at 27.
Second, the adoption of the Ghent Framework in December 2010 exploring the feasibility of intensified EU cooperation and P&S regarding military capabilities in areas such as training, logistics, medical, transport and communication. This was followed by the German-Swedish joint Food for Thought paper on "intensifying military cooperation in Europe", which identifies the following areas as suitable for increased cooperation: research and development, acquisition, training and exercises, command structures and procedures, operating costs.
Third, the adoption in 2009 of two directives (2009/43/EC and 2009/81/EC) aimed at simplifying procedures for moving military goods among Member states and increase the amount of defence procurement that is open to competition across the EU. The Steering Board of the European Defence Agency is to meet in the Spring of 2012 to come up with a list of P&S options.
There are also practical examples of P&S and lessons to be learned from previous experiences, such as the Franco-British treaty of November 2010, the Visegrad four (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) and the Weimar triangle (France, Germany, Poland), though it should be more appropriate to refer to them as small scale initiatives that partly fit into the P&S model. Finally, on the capability side, the EU Battlegroups are a renowned example of "pooling" of EU member states troops.
To what extent would the EU actually benefit from P&S? From an economic standpoint, there would be significant returns. The situation of European defence capabilities has seriously deteriorated after 2008, with the burst of the financial crisis leading to an average cut by 5.9% in 2010 on EU member state defence budgets: in a period of scarcity reverting to defence cuts represents an easy way for governments to cut expenditures without jeopardising its popularity too much.
Reversing this trend in the medium term is not an easy task for EU governments, bound by economic stagnation and a severe fiscal discipline that does not permit any financing in deficit of defence investments. Thus, in this scenario, the current lack of European coherence in pursuing a common defence strategy represents a costly inefficiency that obstructs money saving policies. Indeed, the existing EU defence system, while reasonable from a political and national point of view, is completely unproductive economically. On the demand side, national governments take the lead in establishing expenditure policies in EU defence markets (Figure 1): despite its existence since 2004, the European Defence Agency (along with the other initiatives such as OCCAR), has not yet succeeded in establishing coherence in defence instruments among member states, thus preventing the exploitation of economies of scale in terms of R&D, production, training and maintenance resulting for common military programmes.

This lack of consolidation on the demand side has inevitably led to a disaggregated EU industrial defence system composed of a multitude of national industries, each with their national interests (some still under the control of national governments). This situation is doubly uneconomical: on one side, it represents a strong limitation on pursuing the needed process of consolidation (similar to that implemented in the US after the cold war), which is fundamental in a sector with high economies of scale, and thus it prevents the creation of EU defence industrial giants able to compete successfully with US counterparts (Table 2). On the other side, it does not allow the exploitation of competitive advantages created by the presence of similar industries, due to the nationally biased preferences of member state military spending. This situation is only partially solved thanks to the implementation in 2011 of the two aforementioned directives, intended to open up the EU defence industry to cross-border competition.

On that account, NATO's recent call for a smart approach to capacity building is justified on the grounds of economic efficiency, and adds to an existing EU debate. A boost from the Atlantic Alliance would most likely benefit the discourse in Europe, namely out of the need to find complementarities and guidelines to harmonize NATO and the EU's defence agendas.
Whether these conditions will be enough to move from the discourse to policy implementation is highly debatable. As more than one expert has put it, a liberalised and integrated European defence market is an illusion: geopolitical considerations and protectionist interests justify the flexible geometry of defence cooperation to the detriment of defence integration, resulting in sluggish progress in terms of capabilities.
In this regard, strong contingency factors such as NATO's impulse for new burden sharing and the financial crisis appear as necessary but not sufficient conditions to intensify cooperation. Furthermore, the lack of a strategic debate aggravates the situation: in the absence of an imminent threat, it is still not clear what EU member states cooperate for and why Europe would need to invest in hard power in the first place.
Europe is therefore confronted with the economic rationale for cooperation, and the political/strategic grounds against it. This, however, seems to be a structural condition, which is not destined to be altered with time, pretty much like the gap between the supranational and intergovernmental souls of EU decision-making. A "structural condition" implies that this is something Europeans (and Americans) need to learn to cope with. Accordingly, the future of European defence lies between these two rationales: like Alice's mushroom, the EU will continue nibbling at the appropriate handful of military cooperation and protectionism of national defence industries according to contingency and context-specific imperatives.

Emma Blackwell used to love mermaids. Jonah Blackwell used to love pirates. And William Blackwell tried to be a good captain. Which he would be, if he could get his twin brother and sister to stop fighting long enough to sail their boat, the Peregrine, across the bay. But after the Blackwells see a phantom ship, barely survive a terrible storm, and then mysteriously wake up with seaweed in their mouths, everything changes.
They're becalmed in fog. They run aground on a strange island. They hear distant drums, and their weird adventure begins! The Blackwells face zombie pirates, terrifying mermaids, and a shipwrecked group of cursed ship's figureheads, including a Roman gladiator and an English knight, all led by the strange dolphin-boy, Finn.
It'll make a great sea yarn one day, if they can just survive it.
All-hands-on-deck for sea-faring fun complete with zombie pirates, a ghost ship, and screaming mermaids. I've loved this series from the beginning, and hope for more!
Its fast pace, short chapters, accompanying illustrations, and simple use of language will also make it accessible to reluctant readers.

Switzerland completed a 17-year construction project of the world's longest and deepest rail tunnel. The opening ceremony of the Gotthard tunnel choreographed by Volker Hesse, was, to say the least, strange.
You need to see it to believe it so I provided a video and some pictures from the event.
Goat man and people falling on their knees around him.
Winged half naked people with baby heads.
Half naked people rolling around.
I thought this was strange the first time I saw it… nothing has changed.
It is strange. The only thing new I found when researching it was the hanging part. When I first read about this I didn't know they had fake hangings during the ceremony.

The Boulders Resort and Spa near Carefree will get its first major face-lift since its original construction in the 1980's. New designs will feature natural materials in colors related to Native American art with special emphasis on the Hohokam Indian Tribe. Legend has it that the original designer of the property lived on the land for a year before building it to gain an intimate understanding of how the sunlight interacted with its trademark boulders.
Renovations of the 160 guest room/casitas are already in progress and are set to be done by Thanksgiving. In addition, their most popular restaurant, the Palo Verde, and the lobby will be renovated as well. It will also add a ballroom with a spacious patio and fireplace that extend toward a waterfall and pool. The resort is hoping that the facelift will bring more guests starting this season. This is good news for the Town of Carefree as most visitors make the short drive to the town's eclectic center. They are thrilled that the Boulders is getting a face-lift!

Countless people have rescued animals by giving them a safe and loving home. Whether it's by adopting a pet from a shelter or taking in a cold and hungry animal, every story is unique.
When LeAna Robison, a Tax Director at Overstock™, went to the store one evening with her son, the last thing they expected was to have their own special rescue experience. However, after noticing two frightened kittens hiding underneath a row of shopping carts, both she and her son decided to take action.
They spent the next three hours attempting to safely lure the cats out of from underneath the carts. While other shoppers came and went, they stayed determined to help the kittens.
After three hours, the kittens eventually ran inside the store just as they were closing for the night. Undeterred, LeAna returned early the next morning, and after another two hours, she was finally able to catch the kittens.
What followed were an expensive vet bill and some sleepless nights, but eventually the two kittens were happy and healthy.
After placing one of the kittens with a close friend, LeAna and her family kept the other kitten and named him Sox.
"The kitten rescue was a great lesson for my son Parker, who was 5 at the time," LeAna said. "It taught him that people should stick up for animals and not be the ones who turn their backs and just walk away."


When asked to sit alone in a room, with nothing but a button that administers an electric shock, men will choose to take that shock more often than not. Yes, a series of 11 experiments has confirmed that men would rather experience a mild electric current course through their body, than think.
This is what a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia and Harvard University has found, and divulged in the journal Science (to the embarrassment of the 67 percent of men who opted for the shock).
The team did not immediately start shocking bored men for kicks.
It built up to this momentous occasion by first discovering, repeatedly in a series of studies, that people simply do not enjoy sitting in a room with nothing to do.
In the first study, volunteers were asked to sit in a bare room and think for between six and 15 minutes. They did not like this.
They also found it hard to concentrate.
Given the original participants were all in their late teens, psychologist Timothy Wilson decided to extend it to include people aged 18-77, from all different demographics. The results were the same. "That was surprising -- that even older people did not show any particular fondness for being alone thinking," Wilson said.
Then again, if you were asked to sit along in a bare room, with no one to speak to and nothing to do, in the lab belonging to a group of strangers you know are probably watching you, what would you say when you were immediately handed a survey asking you how it felt? There probably wouldn't be a great deal of positive adjectives in there.
That's why the team also asked volunteers to go home and think.
Just sit in their homes, and think. Evidently, they could not take the pressure of their own intellect and began to pick up their smartphones or listen to music. Some even admitted to "leaving their chair". "And they didn't enjoy this experience any more at home than at the lab," said Wilson.
When one group was allowed to engage in some limited activities -- including listening to music and reading, but not communicating with others -- they reported they found it more enjoyable that sitting and thinking. They also found it easier to concentrate and their minds did not wander as much.
This is surely to be expected -- when given something to do, the mind will be more adept at concentrating on that task. It's when we have nothing to do, that the options seem limitless.
But of course, at this point, the researchers began to ask themselves -- is having anything to do better than nothing? And naturally, this led them to electric shocks.
So, sat in a room, with nothing to do for 15 minutes but press a button that they knew would administer an electric shock, 12 out of 18 men pressed it and six out of 24 women. These people intentionally gave themselves an electric shock. An electric shock.
Those who shocked themselves, did so an average of 1.47 times during the 15 minute period. Except for one maverick. Who did it 190 times.
What is really great about this moment you are in right now -- learning about this giant fracture in humanity's self-professed position as the most intelligent being on the planet -- is now knowing that every participant had already received the shock before the trial. And every one had said they would pay to not experience it again. Hard cash. "What is striking," the investigators write, "is that simply being alone with their own thoughts for 15 minutes was apparently so aversive that it drove many participants to self-administer an electric shock that they had earlier said they would pay to avoid."
The team, in somewhat of a pickle as to why this all could have come to be, plans on investigating whether it is the lack of spontaneity that made people find sitting and thinking so unwelcoming.
This would make a lot of sense.
In general people like to feel in control, to have a certain autonomy over themselves and their actions. If asked to participate in a study where there is some kind of activity, we can preoccupy ourselves, perhaps be competitive, but at the very least find something interesting in it. Asking someone to sit and think in an empty room, is not exactly indicative of the autonomy we have come to expect. It's called solitary confinement, and it's what prisons do to you when, well when they don't know what else to do with you.
And it drives people mad.
So, 15 minutes shouldn't exactly be enough to drive anyone here... but it's the lack of control, the feeling of being monitored, that certainly could be a contributory factor. We are deeply social creatures, and despite what this story suggests, intelligent ones.
So it is to be expected that we have a desire to partake in that world most of the time, and seek some degree of mental stimulation outside of ourselves. "The mind is designed to engage with the world," said Wilson. "Even when we are by ourselves, our focus usually is on the outside world. And without training in meditation or thought-control techniques, which still are difficult, most people would prefer to engage in external activities."
It's why our minds will of course wander when we are left alone with our thoughts. This is not necessarily a bad thing we should seek to overcome. It's what the brain is built to do -- make connections. And we don't stop making them just because someone has told us to sit alone and think. It is the connections we make when our mind is free to dwell and wander, that sometimes lead to the best discoveries. It's having that creative space, that is so often important.
The nice thing is, for once technology is not being blamed for these instances of boredom, and the odd bit of self-flagellation.
Wilson apparently believes our dependency on electronics is irrelevant -- we simply like having something to do, more than we enjoy doing nothing. That is, apparently, if we have not learnt to harness our mind's eye through meditation and other calming techniques. The authors write: "Research has shown that minds are difficult to control, however, and it may be particularly hard to steer our thoughts in pleasant directions and keep them there. This may be why many people seek to gain better control of their thoughts with meditation and other techniques, with clear benefits.
Without such training, people prefer doing to thinking, even if what they are doing is so unpleasant that they would normally pay to avoid it. The untutored mind does not like to be alone with itself."
On that note, Wilson leaves us with this: "Those of us who enjoy some down time to just think likely find the results of this study surprising -- I certainly do." His mind is tutored.

Q: Is there a way to get the double click speed with the delphi Windows API? The TPageControl Component in Delphi does not have a DoubleClick-Event so I made my own. Currently, my custom DoubleClick event gets called when i click twice within 300ms. But I was wondering if there's a way to get the double click speed value that's set in the Windows control panel.
Does anyone know of a way of accessing that value? It's not super crucial. I can just hardcode a value like 300ms, but I think it would be really cool if it was the actual value. Maybe with the Windows API?
Thanks!

A: It is easy to get this value using the Windows API. Simply use the GetDoubleClickTime function.
Notice that this particular system parameter value is special. Most others are obtained not using special functions, but using the GetSystemMetrics or the SystemParametersInfo function.

International legal scholar to discuss drone attacks, Sept. 23
Oakland County Legal News
Ellen O'Connell
International human rights law as it applies to U.S. use of armed drones attacking targets in Pakistan and beyond will be the topic of a lecture on Monday, Sept. 23, at Wayne State University Law School.
Wayne Law's Program for International Legal Studies is sponsoring the free lecture, "International Law and Drone Attacks Beyond Armed Conflict Zones," by Professor Mary Ellen O'Connell of the University of Notre Dame Law School. The event will be from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in the law school's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium, 471 W. Palmer St., and lunch will be provided. Parking is available for $6.50 in the structure across Palmer Street from Wayne Law.
O'Connell is the Robert and Marion Short Chair in Law and a research professor of international dispute resolution with the Kroc Institute for Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame. She is the author of numerous books and articles on her areas of expertise, including international legal theory, international law on the use of force, and international dispute resolution. O'Connell earned a bachelor of arts degree from Northwestern University, master's degree from the London School of Economics, bachelor of laws degree from Cambridge University, and law degree from Columbia Law School. She is a doctoral candidate at Cambridge.
O'Connell was a professional military educator for the U.S. Department of Defense in Germany from 1995 to 1998, and taught at Indiana University-Bloomington, University of Cincinnati, and Ohio State University before joining the faculty at the University of Notre Dame in 2005. She has served as vice president of the American Society of International Law and as chair of the International Law Association's Committee on the Use of Force.
"Professor O'Connell will address the United States' use of drones outside 'hot' battlefields," said Wayne Law Professor Gregory Fox, director of the Program for International Legal Studies. "Drones would be entirely uncontroversial if they were just another weapon used by the United States in an ongoing armed conflict. But in many of the places where drones are used, there is no armed conflict. One way to look at the drone attacks in such situations, therefore, is as extra-judicial killings, which are profoundly condemned by international human rights law."
According to published reports, the United States had carried out 365 drone strikes in Pakistan, 45 in Yemen and a handful in Somalia as of mid-2013. The targets have included Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen, who was killed by a drone strike in Yemen in 2011. The United States had connected al-Awlaki to numerous terrorist acts. A lawsuit challenging the killing is pending in federal court "Another legal justification would be to say that the 'war on terror' is a global phenomenon," Fox said. "That is, the entire world constitutes a battlefield and so drone strikes anywhere would simply be part of that armed conflict. But the United States does not make this claim, and, in fact, emphatically rejects it. So, one is left with few legal explanations for the legitimacy of U.S. drone strikes outside of armed conflict zones.
"Professor O'Connell is one of the leading voices in this debate, having published on it extensively and testified before several Congressional bodies. We couldn't find a more informed or articulate scholar to address this controversial issue."

Q: Computing closed form summations Problem:

Compute the close form for
$\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n \sum_{k=1}^n (3i-1)$ as a polynomial in n. The closed form solution should not have a summation in it.

I am not used to working with multiple summations so I'm not sure if I erred in my process or if this is the correct solution:

$\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n  (3\sum_{k=1}^ni-1\sum_{k=1}^n)$
$\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n  (3(1/2n^2 + 1/2 n)- n)$
$\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n  (3/2n^2 + 3/2 n- n)$
$\sum_{i=1}^n  (3/2\sum_{j=1}^nn^2 + 3/2 \sum_{j=1}^nn- \sum_{j=1}^nn)$
$\sum_{i=1}^n  (3n^3 + 3/2 n^2- n^2)$
(3$\sum_{i=1}^nn^3 + 1/2 \sum_{i=1}^nn^2)$
(3n^4 + 1/2n^3)

A: \begin{align}\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n \sum_{k=1}^n (3i-1) &= \sum_{i=1}^n (3i-1)\left[\sum_{j=1}^n \sum_{k=1}^n 1\right]\\
&=n^2\sum_{i=1}^n (3i-1)\end{align}
Can you finish off the problem?
Remark:
As you work on summation over the $k$ index, notice that the expression that is being worked on is independent of $k$. Index $k$ shouldn't influence index $i$.
Remark: Another mistake is one of the  $\frac32$ become  $3$.


Medical waste, also called as clinical waste, normally refers to the waste generated from healthcare premises as a result of healthcare activities that includes a vast range of materials such as needles, blood, chemicals, syringes, body parts, medical instruments as well as radioactive substances. Lack of medical waste disposal management poses risk of infections and diseases to the public and community and also pollutes the environment. Therefore, it is very important to practice proper clinical waste treatment measures at the point of generation and dispose them safely.
There are a number of methods available to treat medical waste and render the waste less hazardous and non-infectious.
An incinerator is a device in which waste deposits are burned under controlled conditions to oxidize carbon and hydrogen present in waste into ash, flu gases, particulates and heat (this heat is used to produce electricity).
Steam sterilizer, also known as autoclave is commonly used medical waste treatment method for decontaminating waste. Unlike other sterilization methods, steam sterilization is a cheap and economical method. In this method, the medical waste is kept in a specialized sealed chamber and exposed to steam at a particular temperature and pressure for a specified duration. Steam sterilization is an excellent alternative to incineration and also helps to diminish the cost of disposing untreated medical waste.
Gas sterilization is a rarely used method to treat medical waste. In this, medical waste is put in an evacuated air-tight chamber and treated with a sterilizing agent (such as ethylene oxide or formaldehyde). The gas comes in contact of the waste, penetrates and kills the harmful infectious agents.
The method involves grinding of the medical waste before exposing to a liquid chemical disinfectant (such as chlorine bleach). Grinding of the waste ensures sufficient exposure of the chemical agent to all the portions of the waste and also helps in easy disposal of the residues. The resulting liquids are dropped into the sewer system while the solid residues are disposed in the landfills.
Normally, thermal inactivation method is used for treating large volumes of liquid waste and involves heating of waste to temperatures at which infectious agents get killed. The chamber is preheated to a particular temperature and the waste is held in it for a specified duration and then released.
Irradiation involves sterilizing waste by exposing medical waste to a cobalt source. Cobalt gives out gamma radiations that destroy all microbes present in the waste.
Microwave has recently been introduced in US to disinfect waste. The waste is first shredded before mixing it with water and then internally heated to neutralize all the biologicals.
This method aids in converting medical waste into a more uniform mixture that can be handled easily.
Compaction is often used to reduce the waste volume and helps to compress waste to adjust more waste in the same space.


Small asteroids frequently fly past the Earth, some even closer than the Moon. But as students of the dinosaur era know, they can cause catastrophic effects to the planet. A number of programmes are underway which enable scientists to plot the movement of asteroids that trespass into Earth's cosmic neighbourhood. But the theoretical methods for destroying those which might pose a danger are, of course, untested. The question remains whether or not we will be able to protect the planet when such a threat occurs.
