The work was steady, the incomes were suitable, and the kids at Columbia High School were wannabes. They wanted to be rich. They wanted to be hot. They wanted to be tough. They wanted to be too cool for the kids who wanted to be rich, hot, and tough. Picture me, the average teenage boy. Blond hair and blue eyes, smaller than average build, and, I’ll admit, a little dorky. I sat in third period lunch with friends wearing my brand new Aeropostale t-shirt abd backwards hat, wanting to be self-confident. The smell of greasy school lunches filled e air. We were at one of the identical, fold out tables. -

The Complete Ask Scott
ASK SCOTT Downloaded from the Loud Family / Music: What Happened? website and re-ordered into July-Dec 1997 (Year 1: the start of Ask Scott) July 21, 1997 Scott, what's your favorite pizza? Jeffrey Norman Scott: My favorite pizza place ever was Symposium Greek pizza in Davis, CA, though I'm relatively happy at any Round Table. As for my favorite topping, just yesterday I was rereading "Ash Wednesday" by T.S. Eliot (who can guess the topping?): Lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper-tree In the cool of the day, having fed to satiety On my legs my heart my liver and that which had been contained In the hollow round of my skull. And God said Shall these bones live? shall these Bones live? And that which had been contained In the bones (which were already dry) said chirping: Because of the goodness of this Lady And because of her loveliness, and because She honours the Virgin in meditation, We shine with brightness. And I who am here dissembled Proffer my deeds to oblivion, and my love To the posterity of the desert and the fruit of the gourd. It is this which recovers My guts the strings of my eyes and the indigestible portions Which the leopards reject. A: pepperoni. honest pizza, --Scott August 14, 1997 Scott, what's your astrological sign? Erin Amar Scott: Erin, wow! How are you? Aries. Do you think you are much like the publicized characteristics of that sun sign? Some people, it's important to know their signs; not me. -

Peeta Or Haymitch
CATCHING FIRE The Hunger Games Book 2 Suzanne Collins PART I “THE SPARK” I clasp the flask between my hands even though the warmth from the tea has long since leached into the frozen air. My muscles are clenched tight against the cold. If a pack of wild dogs were to appear at this moment, the odds of scaling a tree before they attacked are not in my favor. I should get up, move around, and work the stiffness from my limbs. But instead I sit, as motionless as the rock beneath me, while the dawn begins to lighten the woods. I can't fight the sun. I can only watch helplessly as it drags me into a day that I've been dreading for months. By noon they will all be at my new house in the Victor's Village. The reporters, the camera crews, even Effie Trinket, my old escort, will have made their way to District 12 from the Capitol. I wonder if Effie will still be wearing that silly pink wig, or if she'll be sporting some other unnatural color especially for the Victory Tour. There will be others waiting, too. A staff to cater to my every need on the long train trip. A prep team to beautify me for public appearances. My stylist and friend, Cinna, who designed the gorgeous outfits that first made the audience take notice of me in the Hunger Games. If it were up to me, I would try to forget the Hunger Games entirely. Never speak of them. -

Guided Randomized Search Over Programs for Synthesis and Program Optimization
GUIDED RANDOMIZED SEARCH OVER PROGRAMS FOR SYNTHESIS AND PROGRAM OPTIMIZATION A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND THE COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE STUDIES OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Stefan Heule June 2018 © Copyright by Stefan Heule 2018 All Rights Reserved ii Stefan Heule I certify that I have read this dissertation and that, in my opinion, it is fully adequate in scope and quality as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. (Alex Aiken) Principal Adviser I certify that I have read this dissertation and that, in my opinion, it is fully adequate in scope and quality as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. (John C. Mitchell) I certify that I have read this dissertation and that, in my opinion, it is fully adequate in scope and quality as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. (Manu Sridharan) Approved for the Stanford University Committee on Graduate Studies iii Abstract The ability to automatically reason about programs and extract useful information from them is very important and has received a lot of attention from both the academic community as well as practitioners in industry. Scaling such program analyses to real system is a significant challenge, as real systems tend to be very large, very complex, and often at least part of the system is not available for analysis. A common solution to this problem is to manually write models for the parts of the system that are not analyzable. However, writing these models is both challenging and time consuming. -

1170 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON KNOWLEDGE AND DATA ENGINEERING, VOL. 15, NO. 5, SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2003 Efficient Biased Sampling for Approximate Clustering and Outlier Detection in Large Data Sets George Kollios, Member, IEEE Computer Society, Dimitrios Gunopulos, Nick Koudas, and Stefan Berchtold, Member, IEEE Abstract—We investigate the use of biased sampling according to the density of the data set to speed up the operation of general data mining tasks, such as clustering and outlier detection in large multidimensional data sets. In density-biased sampling, the probability that a given point will be included in the sample depends on the local density of the data set. We propose a general technique for density-biased sampling that can factor in user requirements to sample for properties of interest and can be tuned for specific data mining tasks. This allows great flexibility and improved accuracy of the results over simple random sampling. We describe our approach in detail, we analytically evaluate it, and show how it can be optimized for approximate clustering and outlier detection. Finally, we present a thorough experimental evaluation of the proposed method, applying density-biased sampling on real and synthetic data sets, and employing clustering and outlier detection algorithms, thus highlighting the utility of our approach. Index Terms—Data mining, sampling, clustering, outlier detection. æ 1INTRODUCTION LUSTERING and detecting outliers in large multidimen- In this paper, we propose using biased sampling as a data Csional data sets are important data analysis tasks.

The Half-Mind Hymnal
THE HALF-MIND HYMNAL A Songbook for Hash House Harriers "Shocking! Disgusting! Delightful!" Compiled by Flying Booger December 2014 Edition Flying Booger’s Half-Mind Hymnal The Half-Mind Hymnal is a songbook for Hash House Harriers. Hash House Harriers, like rugby players, sing offensive songs – consider yourself warned! This songbook is a work in progress. I compiled my first hashing songbook in 1993. It contained about 200 songs. Shortly afterward I met famed Colorado hasher and songmaster Zippy. In 1994 we collaborated on a 400-song hymnal, introducing it at InterHash in Rotorua, New Zealand. Zippy and I continued to update the hymnal until his death in 2003; since then I have continued to add new material. The current edition of the Half- Mind Hymnal contains more than 800 songs, poems, and toasts. The Half-Mind Hymnal is dedicated to hashers and hashing. Additional thanks to Bollox, Beaver Bam Bam Balls, Ian Cumming, Sauer Krotch, Dum BUF, Mu-Sick, Catwoman, Neptunus, Sodbuster, Smoking Wiener, and three non-hashers: Derek Cashman, Ed Cray, and John Patrick. Thanks also to the authors of hash songbooks and to the many individual hashers who contributed (and continue to contribute) songs to this collection. Finally, thanks to the pilots of the USAF and NATO fighter squadrons in the Second Allied Tactical Air Force who started me singing and taught me the basic repertoire. Without their inspiration this songbook wouldn't exist. This edition, thanks to the efforts of Lone Wanker, is hyperlinked: click on a song category or the title of an individual song in the table of contents and you will be gently wafted, as if on the wings of hash angel Zippy, directly to where you wanted to go. -
