I am sick of the discomfort, soreness, heaviness, and occasional back pain that comes with my breasts. I really, truly hate them. I'm 20 and not about to get surgery, and I've been trying to research a product like Alexia. Anyone have experiences with this? I can't find anything online that doesn't sound like an advertising plant. [more inside]

Math/CS majors: What algorithms are out there to do "approximate reductions for weighted graphs"?

I know of SUBDUE, but it only works for unweighted graphs.
