 Skip (Angel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skip revealed that he was part of a conspiracy to bring Jasmine into the world and that most of the important plot points of the entire series were directed by Jasmine (though he did not mention her by name.) Skip also revealed that killing Cordelia was the only way to stop Jasmine's birth.
Skip's pleasant demeanor (juxtaposed with his intimidating appearance) was a surprise for Angel, who had to fight him anyway.
In the season three finale, Skip once again returned to Cordelia, this time to inform her that she had been chosen to ascend to a higher realm and become a higher being, Omniscent and all seeing but unable to act, probably a level below the actual Powers that Be.

 Skip list - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skip lists do not provide the same absolute worst-case performance guarantees as more traditional balanced tree data structures, because it is always possible (though with very low probability) that the coin-flips used to build the skip list will produce a badly unbalanced structure.
Skip lists are also useful in parallel computing, where insertions can be done in different parts of the skip list in parallel without any global rebalancing of the data structure.
Basically, a skip list is an augmentation of an ordered linked list with additional forward links, added in a randomized way, so that a search in the list may quickly skip parts of the list (hence the name).

 Definition: skip zone
skip zone: An annular region within the transmission range of an antenna, within which signals from the transmitter are not received.
Note: The skip zone is bounded by the locus of the farthest points at which the ground wave can be received and the nearest points at which reflected sky waves can be received.

 SkipList Applet: Demonstration of Skip-Lists
Skip lists use probabilistic balancing rather than strictly enforcing balancing and as a result the algorithms for insertion and deletion in skip lists are much simpler and significantly faster than equivalent algorithms for balanced trees.
Skip Lists are a data structure that can be used in place of balanced trees.
Skip lists have first been published by William Pugh.

 MPR: Skip Humphrey: Crime
Humphrey says the best way to prevent juvenile crime is keeping kids in school, and he touts another program he initiated called "Learn and Earn" that helps at-risk high school students graduate.
Humphrey's prevention philosophy can be summed up in a phrase he tends to repeat every time the issue of crime is raised.
Humphrey has a ready response: he's had trouble passing his proposals with a Republican governor, and the attorney general's office doesn't have complete control over crime.

 Multiple-skip propagation in the 6m band
The average skip distances in figure 2 and 4 are 2010 km and 1520 km.
This is comparable to the geographical spread associated to the dx stations (note, for example, the dx-station in Nova Scotia assigns to none of the skip areas accurately, see the blue grid-locator in the eastern part of the FN square).
Thus, it is the second skip which hit Newfoundland and, therefore, it is skips #3 and #4 which enabled long-distance communication to New York and New Orleans, respectively.

 Player Bio: Skip Prosser :: Men's Basketball
Skip Prosser, entering his fourth season as the Wake Forest head coach and one of college basketball's winningest active coaches, is proving to be the perfect for the Demon Deacon program.
Prosser's Deacons were not ranked in any of the preseason polls and were picked to finish as low as seventh in the ACC, but Prosser molded a rotation of seven freshmen and sophomores with All-American senior Josh Howard into one of college basketball's top teams in 2002-03.
Prosser, in fact, is the only coach in NCAA history to lead three different schools to the NCAA Tournament in his first year at each school.

 Skip zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The skip zone can be diminished by increasing the number of directions in which the skywave is transmitted or by decreasing the reflective angle of the skywave.
A skip zone is an annular region between the furthest points at which the ground wave can be received and the nearest points at which reflected sky waves can be received.
Very High Radio Frequencies will travel right through the ionosphere and therefore generate no skip zone but again have a limited range.

 Animated Algorithms in Java : Skip Lists
Skip Lists, first described in "Skip Lists: A Probabilistic Alternative to Balanced Trees", W. Pugh (CACM, June 1990), are an alternative representation of balanced trees (not binary) that provides approximate O(log n) access times with the advantage that the implementation is straightforward and the storage requirement is less than a standard balanced tree structure.
The resulting skip list is different each time it is built because of the random number generator controlling allocation of forward nodes.
A distinct difference from most search structures is that the behavior of skip lists is probabilistic without dependence on the order of insertion of elements.

 Transcript Drug Testing Advisory Board Meeting (June 8, 1999)
Stephenson: We are all involved and interested in substance abuse and the workplace, that nexus, and the issues that we've always brought to the table in those kinds of discussions have been focused on accuracy, reliability, and interpretation of results for drug testing as it might be part of a comprehensive drug-free workplace program.
Stephenson: We're going through these one at a time and this is one of the issues that we talked about at the beginning of the day, was this an element we'll want to have dialogue on and provide information on to help inform that potential FDA linkage.
Stephenson: This is an example where I think internal consistency across the specimens is important to look at, too, because we're going to have to measure these at about the same point in time in terms of information to make a policy decision on them in terms of how we want to go about this.

 CS352: Lecture -4 [F'98]
The level count is the height in the skip list that the new node is inserted.
In the worst case, when all lists are on the same level (high or low), the skip list is simply a singly linked list, and search time is θ(n).
Skip lists are efficient data structures which compare favorably with more sophisticated structures (e.g.
