Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, and $K$ a maximal compact subgroup (such that $K_{\mathbb{C}}=G$). By the polar decomposition theorem one has that, as manifolds, $G\cong T^*K$. The inherited symplectic structure is compatible with the complex structure, making $G$ into a Kähler manifold.
On the other hand $G$ is a smooth affine variety, and therefore inherits a Kähler structure from any embedding in an affine space. The ring of regular functions of $G$ is described by the algebraic Peter-Weyl theorem, and affine embeddings are of course just given by choices of generators.
Can one obtain the Kähler structure coming from $T^*K$ by any of these affine embeddings?

Apparently iPhone is not as cool as everyone thought it was.
Research In Motion Ltd. threw Apple a curveball in the smart phone game because thier BlackBerry Curve outsold Apple's iPhone in the first quarter, according to market researchers at The NPD Group.
For one stretch last year, Apple said it sold more iPhones than RIM, the longtime market leader, sold BlackBerrys.
But in the first three months of this year, the Curve benefited from its widespread availability, since it is sold by all four major U.S. wireless carriers, while the iPhone is available only through AT&T Inc. A buy-one-get-one-free promotion by Verizon Wireless also helped the Curve, NPD analyst Ross Rubin said.
Ah that makes sense. They resorted to cheating to slay the giant. That means I can go back to using Notes to write the rest of this story. You will excuse any typos won't you? My iPhone does not have spell check yet.
The iPhone slipped to No. 2, while RIM's touch-screen BlackBerry Storm — also available through Verizon Wireless — came in third.
NPD did not release sales numbers along with the rankings, saying those expanded figures are only provided to clients.
Apple doesn't say how many iPhones it has sold, but the company said it shipped wireless carriers a total of 3.8 million iPhones during its fiscal second quarter, which ended March 28. RIM shipped 7.8 million BlackBerrys during its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Feb. 28.
NPD estimated that RIM snagged almost 50 percent of the U.S. smart phone market in the first quarter, up 15 percent from the fourth quarter of 2008. It believes that Apple and Treo maker Palm Inc. both saw their share of the smart phone market drop 10 percent during that time.
RIM declined to comment. Of course they did. An Apple spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Skip to comments.Column: Could football end up killing itself?
Posted on 02/02/2013 9:41:19 PM PST by Olog-hai
On Sunday perhaps the biggest audience ever to see a Super Bowl will gather in front of televisions for parties of their own. The game has become Americas unofficial national holiday, its tradition of chip eating, beer drinking and commercial watching as deeply ingrained in the countrys fabric as turkey and stuffing.
We celebrate the game even as it takes a brutal toll on those who play it. Football is a hurt business, and the biggest cheers on Sunday will be for those who deliver the biggest hits.
Its hard to comprehend, and it may be the ultimate paradox. But football itself could be the one thing that kills the NFL.
Baltimore safety Bernard Pollard suggested the other day that it just might, calling the on-field violence a car accident every play and expressing fear that one day a player might die on the field. This, from a player who was fined for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Patriots receiver Wes Welker in the AFC championship game and is considered one of the hardest hitters out there.
President Barack Obama, meanwhile, says if he had a son he would have to think long and hard about letting him play football.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
It was inevitable that the American Communist Progressive Democratic Socialist Party would begin to attack the American institution of football.
Perhaps we could use this against them and ask each and every candidate for public office their opinion of this great American institution. Perhaps the sheeple would pay more attention to such as issue than they do to "unimportant" ones such as the national debt, entitlement spending, income redistribution, open borders, destruction of the U.S. military and all the rest of the actions the American Communist Progressive Democratic Socialist Party is taking to deliberately destroy the U.S.
Good thing these guys weren't around when they developed coal mining.
We'd still be burning wood.
The liberals are killing everything. They don't call them the Culture of Death for nothing.
It already happened.
IIRC it was in a collage game between Harvard and some other school back in the early 1900's. It horrified people to the point that they began changing the rules to prevent it from happening again.
Back then the problem was a lack of protective equipment. Today it is a over abundance of it.
Take a look a Rugby a game that is very rough and tumble yet has less major injuries. The difference is that in Rugby you don't wear protective gear. So if you bang your head against another players head it is going to hurt. So you don't do it.
Something to think about.
No. it isn't the biggest hits or worst crashes, it's the biggest run backs, the miraculous runs for a first down, the last lap passes and the turn four slides.
It is avoiding the crash, avoiding the "big hits", and it's for the Hail Marys. It's for the adrenalin rush and the vicarious thrill of both victory and loss.
I enjoy Little League and Women's Softball, but I have to remind the author that it is still possible to take a head shot at bat or a spike running to home.
Not that I know of, although I only have a passing acquintance with the game, largely based on a brief visit to Exeter. Batters can and do stay "up" for hours at a time. If they hit the ball, they don't even have to run if they don't think they can make it. They have to "protect the wicket", as the nominal goal of the "bowler" or pitcher, is to hit the wicket, which will be indicated by knocking off the little stick on top. I believe the principal foul of the batter is LBW, or "Leg Before Wicket", i.e. protecting the wicket with his heavily padded leg. Of course, he is "out" in this case. Kind of like capital punishment.
Rush called it. Again.
Yep-—killing anything masculine. Grinding America Down.
The feminization of everything-—cuz without manly, men—the responsible, strong, aggressive Risk-Takers (not the ones lusting after other men like Hitler's Henchmen)-—there would never have been an America-—or even a Revolution.
They hate the 2nd Amendment type men and those gun-toting women who love their men.
Iowa State University's Stadium is named after Jack Trice; he died from injuries suffered during a game:
"Guess thats why the libs are trying to push soccer. Weakest of all the games called football."
Heck, in soccer the players are always butting the ball with their heads. They do it every game. How many concussion possibilities per each player per game? A whole bunch? Think also of the neck compression from butting said ball.
I might add, that the author of this article seems to think the entire purpose of the game of football is to try to bash the other player in order to maim him. No mention of the skill of the game, the thinking man's part of the sport, the physical skill, the cunning, the development of plays, the theory of the game. No, football exists just to try to physically destroy the opponent. Not.
Yeah the vets suffering from TBI as a consequence of IED's going off in war zones are real wusses. - sarcasm off - I'd like to see you visit a VA hospital and spout that nonsense in front of one of them and their families.
Typical Lib wet dream - they always start off with "Could this happen....". "Could Obama become a permanent leader of Amerika...." "Could another killing lead to 100% gun confiscation..."
"Allow me to begin my article with two false premises."
I read in the great book "Seabiscuit" that the most dangerous occupation in sports is that of jockey. Will the libs start picketing the Kentucky Derby this year?
"... most dangerous occupation in sports is that of jockey"
Our oral surgeon is now in his "busy" season. Why? Basketball is in season... lots and lots of teeth are knocked out with basketball (plus, broken jaws). Jack Lambert lost his two front teeth in a basketball game. My neurologist told me that he sees way more soccer players for concussion related injuries than football players. The attack is on football. IMHO, it is a truly AMERICAN sport so it has to be eliminated. We have to embrace soccer or some other bunk because it is what the other parts of the world enjoy. I'm not saying that there aren't hard hits and possible injuries playing football. What I am saying is that sports in general increase the risk of injury. All sports.. soccer, baseball, basketball, gymnastics etc... With that, GO RAVENS!
More people are killed skiing and snowmobiling in ONE winter then in YEARS of football. let's not even mention swimming.
Brain injuries are more prevalent from soccer then from boxing or football

Not all cops are bad...
I think what he's saying is, Some people stand to profit from seeking out taking other peoples liberties away, actually get paid to do it.... just a hunch
I personally like it when other's people freedom to harm me are taken away.I especially like it though when those that can't say F off and be on their way are protected by having someone else's freedom taken away.Such as, taking away:...other peoples freedom to harm their spouses, ...or their freedom to harm their own children,...or their freedom to use people against their will that are stuck in human trafficking, ...or their freedom to harm public property that my taxes paid for,...or their freedom to yell stupid stuff in a public room,...or their freedom to blow up public buildings,...or their freedom carry 3" blades on airplanes,...or their freedom use my social security number and Visa numbers to acquire what they desire without my permission, ...or their freedom to view naked underage boys and girls,...or their freedom to drive 40 MPH in a residential neighborhood that has a lot of children riding bicycles on a spring dayI could go on forever, shall I continue?I'm not a cop lover. In fact when I was 20 I was pulled over, walked the line and patted down because I flipped off a cop while by girlfriend (now wife) was driving so I wouldn't drive my own car drunk (true story). However, I have respect for police officers. Maybe you should too.

Three days before the US plays a key World Cup 2014 qualifying home match, a Sporting News online report on Tuesday said several US soccer players have problems with coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
The report says 11 players in the US national team pool and 11 others connected to the program, none of them identified by name, say there are major rifts within the team and confidence and faith is dimming in Klinsmann.
"Things are boiling over," one source told the Sporting News. "The feeling now is that this is [Klinsmann's] last chance against Costa Rica."
Much of the criticism is aimed at the former German national team coach, who was hired to take over the US program in July of 2011 and will field his 24th different lineup in as many games when the Americans face Costa Rica in Denver.
"We do all this stuff. OK, it's good for us and it's scientifically proven," a US player told the Sporting News. "But in the end it's a round ball. The Peles and the Maradonas in the world weren't doing all these things."
"We spend more time worrying about gyms and nutrition, and we don't do enough of what we need to do on the field," he said.
A 2-1 loss last month in Honduras in the North American final round 2014 World Cup qualifying opener brought issues to a boiling point, the story said, because captain Carlos Bocanegra was benched, and Klinsmann slighted Bocanegra in telling players the veteran was being relegated to a reserve role.
"He already broke Carlos' heart. Why drive the knife in and twist it?" a source said in the report.
Bocanegra, not on the roster for the US matches tomorrow and on Tuesday at arch-rivals Mexico, expressed his feelings in a diplomatic posting on his Facebook page on Tuesday night.
"During the last 18 months Jurgen has introduced a lot of new ideas to the team and has a vision of how he wants to grow the program," Bocanegra wrote.
"Every coach around the world has his own style and methods. He has always been up front with players about where they stand and where he sees them going. Not every player is going to be happy with all of the decisions and methods, but he will tell you to your face where you stand," he wrote.
"From a coach, that is the best thing you could ask for. One of the greatest strengths of this team has always been our unity and spirit, and we all remain committed to the cause of qualifying for the World Cup," Bocanegra wrote.
Klinsmann spoke to the Sporting News about the criticism uncovered for the story and defended taking players out of a comfort zone and keeping them uncertain if they will start or who they might be partnered with, saying it makes players better.
"All those elements we throw at them now, because if we don't do it, it's too late in the World Cup," Klinsmann said.
"I take this conversation as a positive also with the players, talking more about this process to them ... The only way we get them to that next level is to run them through this uncomfortable period, and they have to learn and they have to swim in the cold water. And we're going to convince the world later," he said.
Players told the Sporting News they found the last-minute ouster of Bocanegra "a bit disturbing" and "to not have him in a game like that was really peculiar."
A player said that, "sometimes a coach's biggest mistake is trying to get in who he sees as the best 11 players on the field, but they don't have to be. You have to have 11 players on the field who are going to work well with each other and be good for each other."

Today's NaPoWriMo prompt is "to write a poem that looks at the same thing from various points of view." The corresponding GoodRead's quote for the A to Z Challenge is the letter E.
"It's one of those things a person has to do; sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of his way to come back a short distance correctly." ― Edward Albee, The American Dream & The Zoo Story
Down in the swamp, down in the bogs there's —
Mud sucking at my feet, at my soul.
Everyday I journey here and fight,
The elements, the giant rocks, gnarled trees,
Worst of all the swamp, pulling me in.
There are days I believe I shall let it,
But my wife she sees, working here means,
In such a short while, we shall both be free.
She says, we're educated, we have more —
To us than meets the eye, we've wisdom,
To work in horrible conditions,
Because we know two years from now we —
Can leave this wretched bog behind, with all —
The tortures of the tormenting tree limbs,
Nightmares left, there's better; we're going —
To the City, where education's worth —
Something and I won't have to hate each day.
Mining for fuel, this coal coating my lungs,
My wife's happy, delighted, she is life,
So I listen to my fathers last words:
"Don't stay in this town all your life, move on.
Take your girl, your college education,
Leave this foul place behind, don't be me,
Coal dust in your lungs is misery and —
A cancerous death is what awaits you."
So, I worked and she and I, we left here,
To the bustling city, with peaceful parks,
We breathe, 'neath blossomed trees, reading in light.

SI cover girl Refaeli nudges her swimsuit south
NEW YORK -- The world knows a lot more about Bar Refaeli today than it did yesterday, including where her tiny tan line falls.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit unveiled on Tuesday 23-year-old Refaeli as a first-time cover girl, wearing a string bikini by Missoni -- and the strings on the bikini bottom are being tugged south.
This gig, more than top fashion or entertainment magazines, can be career-altering as it puts a model's face (not to mention her likely fantastically toned and taut body) in front of millions of eyeballs, appealing to both men and women, sports fans and fashionistas.
It's the cover that matters most, says SI group editor Terry McDonell, but each model -- 19 for this issue -- gets an equal shot at the cover.
"The cover has to reflect the athleticism and sexiness of the culture. This photo is modern, her hair and swimsuit look natural. You see her freckles. Her body is amazing and she looks intelligent," McDonell said.
It's also purposeful, he noted, that the models have healthy, sometimes curvy, figures. "A skinny waif won't work here."
McDonell, along with Swimsuit editor Diane Smith and SI creative director Steve Hoffman, sifted through 90,000 photos this year. In consumer testing, it's inevitable that the raciest one is the favorite, but that's not the one that lands on the front. "There are marketplace considerations," McDonell explained. "I want to be at the front of the store, not the back."
Israeli-born Refaeli, long linked romantically with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, told The Associated Press that she had the feeling that this particular shot of her in the water on Canouan Island in the Grenadines was her shot to be on the front.
"This is the one I felt the most comfortable with," said Refaeli, who twice before was featured on the inside pages of the magazine. "You have the beach, blue water and a body. That's it. I liked that the top of the suit was on."
You can be sexy without revealing too much skin, said veteran supermodel Cheryl Tiegs, who first appeared on the Swimsuit issue cover in 1970 — and then again in 1975 and 1983.
That shot happened at the end of a full day shooting in Hawaii, and she was cold. Someone gave her long-sleeve top to warm her up and when the photographer asked her to take it off, Tiegs refused — and she wouldn't take off her sunglasses either, she recalled. That photo, she said, really captured a moment, though.
"I remember walking by the newsstand and seeing I was on the cover and picking up a copy or two. That was the celebration then. ... But I'm still signing covers for fans," Tiegs said.
SI's swimsuit issue began in 1964, when February marked the low point of the sports seasons. The NFL ended in December, there were no national televised hockey games and the NBA had only a half-dozen teams. After putting safe-driving tips and dog shows on the cover, SI decided to put an attractive female on the cover and call it a "skin-diving story," recalls Smith.
It was popular from the start, but Smith thinks it was Tiegs' cover that made it a phenomenon. However, it was Kathy Ireland in a white strapless bikini in 1989 that remains the best-selling cover.
"I've done many, many, many different covers in the fashion world ... but never had as big a splash as Sports Illustrated," said Heidi Klum, the cover model in 1998. "I went to '(The Tonight Show with Jay) Leno,' the morning shows in New York and LA — it was a huge thing — suddenly I became a household name," she said.
But more than the fame, Klum said she appreciates from SI the professionalism shown to a relatively untested model wearing next to nothing. "I had wanted it to be so good. I'd arch so hard ... but they'd say, 'Look sexy with your eyes. Don't overpose. Be yourself and have fun.'"
There's a balance between wholesome and sexy the editors are always straddling, without ever being sleazy, Hoffman said.
The magazine spends an average of three days shooting each model, each with an average wake-up call of 4:30 a.m. because the light is best at dawn, and have about 10,000 bathing suits to choose from.
And even with the outfits so small, SI spends an average of $2,000 in overweight baggage fees per location.
"The logistics are horrifying ... but the Swimsuit issue is probably the healthiest of all the Sports Illustrated franchises, and it's good to be with things that work, especially these days," said McDonell.

ROYERSFORD - Spring-Ford High School's PIAA Class AAAA state championship girls basketball team was honored during a special community banquet Thursday, April 25, in the senior high school gymnasium.
The Rams finished 32-2 overall under head coach Jeff Rinehimer and assistant coaches Mickey McDaniel, Jeff Mast, Geoff Kahler and Stacey Huntington.
They also captured their second-straight Pioneer Athletic Conference and District 1 titles along the road to the state title game in Hershey, where they beat Cumberland Valley, 60-45, in the state final game at the Giant Center on March 22, 2013.
Spring-Ford Superintendent Dr. David R. Goodin gave the welcome, introduced guests and the invocation. High School Principal Patrick J. Nugent assisted with the introductions and presentation of awards to the team and coaches.
The Rams were previously named to the 7th Annual MaxPreps Basketball Tour of Champions as presented by the Army National Guard. They were ranked No. 22 in the country by USA Today.
Presentations included a certificate of recognition from Greg Francis from the office of Rep. James Gerlach. There were also citations from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and Pennsylvania State Senate and resolutions from Limerick Township and Royersford Borough.
The Spring-Ford Board of School Directors also made a resolution, and president Thomas DiBello and vice president James Ciresi gave copies to the team members.
Nugent, who is also president of the PAC-10 circuit, presented the PAC-10 championship plaque.
Gary Kochersperger, basketball chairman, gave the PIAA District 1 championship trophy. Mark Byers, PIAA chief operating officer, issued the PIAA state championship trophy.
Rinehimer, who completed his 19th season at the helm, and McDaniel, who is also Spring-Ford's longtime athletic director, offered remarks.
A video with highlights of the 2012-13 campaign and sound bites was shown throughout the evening. It was prepared by McDaniel and Steve Bonetz.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones:
'Take no thought for the morrow,' means 'Do not be guilty of anxious thoughts about the morrow'. It does not mean that you do not take any thought at all, otherwise the farmer would not plough and harrow and sow. He is looking to the future, but he does not spend the whole of his time wondering and worrying about the end results of his work. No, he takes reasonable thought and then he leaves it.Here again the whole question is where to draw the line. Thinking is right up to a point, but if you go beyond that point it becomes worry and anxiety and it paralyzes and cripples. In other words, although it is very right to think about the future, it is very wrong to be controlled by it.The difficulty with people who are prey to these fears is that they are controlled by the future, they are dominated by thoughts of it, and there they are wringing their hands, doing nothing, depressed by fears about it. In fact, they are completely governed and mastered by the unknown future, and that is always wrong. To take thought is right, but to be controlled by the future is all wrong.

This is the description
Series "161". These unusual individual country collections have been organized from a large stock of individual stamps and sets, and placed in glassines. We have been offering these collections for several years now from this huge hoard of stamps. These collections are loaded with mostly used very fine stamps and sets. The glassines are reminiscing of when we were kids and used to buy packets of stamps. However, these are of much higher quality, with lots of value. May contain some minor duplication in some of the countries. In those instances, the prices have been reduced.These lots were priced using a 2011 Scott Catalogue, and thus may be really good buys compared to today's prices.
Series "447". Beautiful, colorful worldwide collections on Harris Albums pages, supplemented with additional quadrille album pages. This is a very thoughtfully organized and annotated collections with small sections of early pre 1940 stamps, and then large sections of more recent "like new" mint collections of colorful newer stamps and Souvenir Sheets, occasionally supplemented with Non-Scott listed material. There are 54 volumes in this collection. A true labor of love. Many of the Mint stamps are securely mounted to the page with two hinges.

I recently recall a post where someone wrote that the search function built into our software leaves much to be desired.
The recent "You Know You're a Retriever Person When..." thread. got me searching and I had trouble. I knew that a similar thread existed elsewhere. But I could not find it.
Google has an advanced search that is very cool. I know others have posted such a link in the past, but I could not find it through RTF's search function. I'd suggest you guys give this a try. It seems to work much better.
Go here: Google Advanced Search Page Or this URL: http://www.google.com/advanced_search
In the top field, you will see a space to input whatever search items or words you like. OR
In the 2nd field down, you seen a space to put an exact quote in quotation marks. For my test, I used "You know you're a".
The key is to then scroll down to the "site or domain" thread and enter: https://www.retrievertraining.net/forums/, then execute your search.
If you enter the exact phrase in the example shown above in the 2nd field, and list the RTF domain for the domain, you will find a thread from a few years ago that says something like: "You know you're a retriever person when your christmas list has (X)" ...
Here's the results page from that advanced search.
Please give it a try. It may save you some headache. Thanks Google!

She's set to wed The Bachelor's Sean Lowe in six weeks
She said that she was planning to do 60 minutes of cardio a day until her wedding to Sean Lowe in January, and it looks as though the workouts are paying off for Catherine Giudici.
The Bachelor star's fiancée stepped out in the sunshine in a bright yellow bikini while celebrating her bachelorette weekend with friends in Miami on Saturday.
Giudici, 27, shared pics of her celebration with her friends, which included getting a water workout while paddleboarding and kayaking, dinner and drinks, and chilling out on the beach. "Life is fun," she Tweeted.
The only thing missing from her weekend was her fiancé, who was enjoying a Bachelor party with his crew in Jackson Hole, Wyo. "I miss my boo!" she Tweeted.
But Lowe, 30, was having fun with his pals, and shared a video channeling his "inner Street Fighter."
There's just six weeks to go until the couple say "I do," in a live TV special on ABC, airing Jan 26.

Many local governments are struggling to keep up with growing costs as revenues...
Many local governments are struggling to keep up with growing costs as revenues decline, a report Friday from Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said.
From 2006 through 2011, expenditures for the state's nearly 4,000 local governments grew by 17.4 percent, while revenues increased 15 percent, the report said.
The disparity has meant that local governments have burned through reserves and cut programs and staff to balance their books, he said.
"For the past five years, the financial trends in our municipalities and school districts have become of heightened concern," said DiNapoli in a statement.
Local governments have long warned about their troubled fiscal picture. Counties, cities and towns said that unfunded state-mandated programs and stagnant revenue from property and sales taxes are crippling them.
Expenses for the 57 counties outside New York City will outpace revenue by $4 billion over the next decade, the state Association of Counties estimated in an October report. The group, along with other local leaders, has called for mandate relief from the state Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
"The negative outlook expressed by the state's chief auditor ought to be of serious concern to state leaders," said Stephen Acquario, the group's executive director.
"NYSAC, on behalf of the state's 62 counties, again calls upon the state to provide immediate and measurable mandate relief to avoid a local fiscal cliff."
DiNapoli announced in September he would launch in January an early warning fiscal stress monitoring system to help local governments identify their fiscal risks.

The Free-y of the Fury
Now we don't normally link to games we haven't had a chance to play yet, but this screenshot caught my eye from Fury and found its way into a quick festive post.
You see, it's particularly seasonal, because it's suitably snowy and prominently features a bloke apparently projectile vomiting bile green stuff. And if that doesn't get a link on RPS, I don't know what does. Anyway – the news being that Fury, an online action-paced RPG thing, has added a free-to-play option ("Chosen") which allows you to get a taste for the game for no Earth pounds. If you don't get horrified by the grammatical apocalypse of "Free 2 Download + Free 2 Play = Free 4 Ever!", you can get it from here, and then get stuck into feeling aggrieved you have no Voice-chat and a limited friends list.

At BP's Future of Learning event in November, we were lucky enough to have the fabulous Crystal Washington as our guest speaker at dinner (follow her on Twitter @CrysWashington).
Crystal delivered one of the most dynamic, engaging and passionate presentations I've seen for some time. Keeping the attention of a room full of people when you've got the after-dinner slot and everyone's been at a conference all day isn't easy! But that's not the only reason why Crystal's presence had us all talking throughout the next day.
Crystal gave us a whirlwind tour of social media: the dark side, the war stories, the lessons learnt the hard way by big businesses and unwitting individuals; the generational advantages afforded to both those young enough to have been using technology since infancy and those old enough to have experience of networking and business etiquette to inform their (strategic) use of it; and tips for how to make sense of the web of social networks out there and use them to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
During the Q&A time, someone picked up on the theme of generational differences and Twitter in particular, asking Crystal how she feels as a presenter if she's in front of a Gen Y audience whose heads are down over their phones. Despite confessing that she doesn't appreciate her siblings using their phones during dinner, Crystal replied quite firmly that this Gen Y audience scenario doesn't bother her. She understands that these people are paying attention, they just do it in a different way from what speakers might be used to; this is their way of working and learning. Incidentally, Justin Mass asked the same question of Richard Culatta at Learning 2012 and got the same response: 'nope, normal.'
Some people didn't seem to believe Crystal, though: the next question was less of a question and more of a challenge. A lady at the next table pointed out, quite rightly, that I'd been on my phone almost the entire time Crystal had been speaking. She also said that she'd bet any money that I hadn't been tweeting or taking notes.
Actually, that's exactly what I'd been doing. In fact, it's what I'd been doing all day. Crystal had been following our backchannel throughout the event and immediately came to my defence, pointing out that she'd have been more concerned if I wasn't typing away on my phone while she was talking, as it would suggest I was less interested in what she had to say than I had been all day. After dinner, Crystal thanked me for being a perfect embodiment of one of her key points. Different generations (whether defined by age or by use of technology) have different ways of engaging and learning. This lady looked at me and made an assumption that I wasn't paying attention – perhaps shopping online or browsing Facebook instead. By contrast, I was absolutely more engaged with Crystal's content than I would have been had I not had my phone there.
Another aspect to this is the value of the tweets being shared. I found some of the comments on Justin Mass' recent blog post about real-time activity switching interesting. Melissa Daimler says that she's observed a move back towards low-tech experiences, towards people abandoning live-tweeting in favour of face-to-face conversation and then tweeting later. She says 'the tweet is usually more thoughtful since they can give more context around it after having sat with the idea for a little.' Actually, for me it's the other way around. I think there is equal value in tweet-reporting (as it were) the content of a session as it happens, and then adding my own thoughtful context later in whatever format or medium is appropriate. I'm a fairly reflective person; I prefer to have time to think before I draw conclusions or make plans. So it suits me to contribute something in real-time, and this rapporteur-style of live-tweeting works for me, and then contribute more fully later if and when I feel I've got more to add from a personal perspective.
I'm not by any means saying that, if you aren't live-tweeting or taking notes on a tablet or phone, you aren't paying attention. That would be a ridiculous claim to make. I'm still partial to a beautiful notebook and still turn to my trusty pen and paper to take notes during meetings, when jotting down thoughts for my next book review, and in numerous other situations. But my experience over the past few months has been that live-tweeting does enhance my attention and focus in a seminar or conference situation. If I'm on Twitter (or even using a notepad app) I'm not able to easily flit between different apps, whereas if I'm taking paper notes it's very easy for my attention to switch to my email or other things on my phone. I also have a tendency to doodle in the margins of my notepads which, though not always a sign that my mind has wandered, probably doesn't convey engagement and interest.
A while back, when Craig Taylor was subject to similar cynicism, I declared myself firmly in the pen-and-paper camp. And I would still today choose to make paper notes rather than digital notes (using a notepad app on my phone or tablet). I prefer paper note-taking for the reasons I mentioned before: it caters better for my personal brand of shorthand, and so on. But live-tweeting is something different. Knowing that my notes are going to be read immediately by others enforces a certain level of discipline; it keeps me focused and concise, and totally engaged. So when it comes to a conference or similar event, I find myself increasingly choosing live-tweeting over paper notes.
Another commenter on Justin's blog post, Travis Cunningham, says: 'People are engaged in an activity when you mix feedback, friends and fun … Most trainings lack all three. Twitter adds all three.' Thinking about it, Travis has pretty much got it bang on for me. Live-tweeting absolutely does not diminish my engagement; if anything it improves my focus and attention. And I enjoy it; it enhances the conference experience for me.
The day after the dinner with Crystal, several people thanked me for helping them see Twitter in a different light. I think if those people now don't pass immediate judgement when they see someone tapping away on their phones, and perhaps even give some thought to what engagement with a speaker or session really is, then being singled out at the dinner was worth it!

When I was in China this summer, I tried to eat dumplings every day. Dumplings are one of my favorite foods in the US, so the opportunity to eat vastly superior ones in China was not to be squandered. My favorites of the whole trip were actually from a place right below the hotel I stayed at in Beijing, steamed vegetable dumplings with an almost-clear, thick doughy skin. In Shanghai, I ate xiao long bao for days in a row, despite the fact that I am 99% a vegetarian, before I caved and finally headed to Shanghai's phenomenal european restaurants, solely because of their much-needed air conditioning.
I didn't expect these dumplings to rival my memories of China (a nearly impossible feat), but they were really, really good. Plus, it's so fun to make them myself, which adds a level of satisfaction that you can never get by eating something that's been prepared for you. I will definitely be making these again. And, who knows, maybe as I get more experience, I'll be able to recreate the dumplings I loved in Beijing!
One word of advice, though. The sesame oil in this recipe is crucial. It gives the dumplings such an authentic asian flavor, and makes your whole kitchen smell delicious. I very much discourage substituting any other type of oil, they just wouldn't be nearly as good.
Mushroom Dumplings
10 oz baby bella mushrooms, minced
1 medium white onion, minced
1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
24 wonton wrappers
1. In a medium saute pan, saute onion in sesame oil, until onion is translucent.
2. Add mushrooms to onion and saute until browned and softened.
3. Lay out wonton wrappers on a cutting board. Place 2 tsp of mushroom mixture in the center of each wrapper, and wet edges with water. Fold into a triangle and press edges to seal.
4. Line a steamer basket (metal or bamboo) with wax paper, and place dumplings in the basket. Steam for 3-4 minutes, or until dumplings are warmed through.
Serves 3-4.

Interior design allows people to decorate their homes so it looks both inviting and relaxing. These modern interior design ideas should help you begin the process.
Interior decorating involves a diverse area of interests, including painting, carpeting, wallpaper, tiling, lighting fixtures, furniture, and art forms such as paintings or other miscellaneous ideas. The definition of modern interior design ideas is constantly evolving. There are new design styles coming out almost every day. An individual can feel free to express their tastes and personal flair in their home's interior in many ways these days.
It is not necessary to have a large home in order to accommodate a lot of nice furniture and fixtures. For example, a smaller space can be accommodated by using a bookcase within a wall so that you use less floor space. If you desire a stylish home then all you need is some creativity. Some basic guidelines on modern interior design ideas follow.
Before you actually purchase anything, imagine how you will want each room to look. Think about what you want to accomplish. Start with the main features as the smaller details will depend upon these. Take note of lines and shapes. Every room has its own qualities. Notice how the textures already create a visual effect. Maybe you are doing a family room that will be full of children and pets. The fabrics, paint color, and lighting for this action-oriented room will be different from the needs of a quiet bedroom. Starting out like this will be the simplest and most economical method for decorating your home.
Some things you can begin thinking about are linens, furniture, wallpaper, and lampshades. Keep these items within your budget as it is not necessary to spend a lot to look good. If you have money to work with, you might even consider moving a wall or adding another room.
One popular style of interior design is called art deco. In this style, many lines are used in an angular, yet beautiful fashion. The color scheme is vibrant.
Asian style design is quite popular. It is bold and very colorful, and is also great for maximizing small spaces. The furniture tends to be carved wooden designs along with hand-painted details. Accessories usually feature animal motifs.
There is also something called an eclectic style of interior design. This uses a combination of different styles that makes a very unique appearance and allows you to be creative.
Lighting is a big part of home design. Look into different types of lighting such as Victorian lamps, ceramic lamps, recessed lighting, and track lighting. After all, the light that shines in a room is a huge part of the overall effect. Sometimes the lamp you choose, such as a fancy chandelier, can be the focal point of a room.
A great place to start your search for design ideas is on the internet. You can even purchase items right away. Go through magazines and clip out what you like. Also consider an interior designer for ideas that work best for your home.
Incorporate designs that appeal to you with some of these basic modern interior design ideas. Have fun!
Be sure to visit our website at Hanging Lamps to learn how different lighting styles can create a modern feel to your home's decor.

Think the story of Justin Bieber drunk street racing in Miami was over? Not even slightly. So, yes, he had booze and drugs in his system. But TMZ says GPS data shows he may not have been speeding in his rented Lamborghini.
TMZ reported today it obtained the GPS data from the rented Lamborghini Gallardo Bieber was driving last Thursday when he was stopped and arrested by Miami Police, charged with a DUI.
It's common practice for exotic car rental companies to fit GPS trackers on their cars. The data from the Gallardo in question was recorded going 27 mph just before Bieber being pulled over and arrested. That was actually below the 30 mph speed limit on the road he was on.
After looking Bieber-rific in his mugshot, Justin Bieber has been in a load of trouble other places in the world, including New Jersey. But if the data is to be believed, he just might not have been street racing early in the morning.

One of the best parts of my job is the opportunity to visit scientists in other countries and share our recent research findings with them. Last year I visited Sapporo, Japan; Prague, Czech Republic; and Hamburg, Germany. This year I get to visit Potrero de los Funes, Argentina; Geneva, Switzerland and Heidelberg, Germany. Unlike conferences in the U.S., meetings in other countries are much more likely to include wonderful cultural side trips: I will never forget a chamber music concert I enjoyed with colleagues at a conservatory in the south of France or a demonstration of traditional dance with colleagues in Tokushima, Japan. The world of science is small, and it becomes much smaller all the time as we are all brought closer together by the internet and access to free (or low-cost) internet telephone calls.
Lucky for me, at least, is the fact that a great deal of science is communicated in my native language. But there also is a great deal of science that is transacted in other languages. My knowledge of conversational German made it possible for me to participate in a student workshop on women's issues at an otherwise English-language conference two years ago in Konstanz. But in Argentina, I have been warned that many talks will be in Spanish; hopefully, gels, graphs, protein structures and microscopic images represent a universal language that all biochemists and molecular biologists (me included) can understand.
Even though students now learn excellent English in school, many are shy to use it, even if they speak quite well. Encouraging student participation at international meetings and speaking English with students when traveling abroad can do much to add confidence to young scientists in training. These types of exchanges can be transformational for a young scientist's career and will continue to be supported by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In addition to sponsoring student travel awards, ASBMB is supporting exchange programs and joint meetings in cooperation with the Pan American Association for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Chilean Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. We also are running a special symposium on recent advances in pathogenic human viruses July 24 – 26, 2011, in Guangzhou, China.
Students who have the opportunity to study abroad not only learn additional languages, they also learn about cultural distinctions that influence the practice of science in a particular country. Xiaodong Wang, who just returned to Beijing after many years in the U.S., tells me that one of the biggest challenges Chinese science faces is in fact cultural: Confucianism involves interpretation of knowledge rather than the idea of seeking truth through new discoveries. In addition, he pointed out that the long history of Chinese medicine thrives on secrecy among traditional healers rather than dissemination of helpful cures. As director of the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Wang is working to bring the highest standards of excellence to Chinese science and to spread the important message that the product of scientific activity should be new and widely shared discoveries rather than just long lists of publications.
Cultural differences also are reflected in government priorities for science funding. Over the past ten years, science in China, India, Korea and Taiwan has exploded, and this advance has been accompanied by major investments from their respective governments. In the United Kingdom, scientists stood together to resist major funding cuts last winter at a time when the rest of the budget was not spared. Here in the U.S., President Obama values the importance of science funding, but Congress is under enormous pressure to reduce deficits without raising taxes. As I have written previously, we need to help Congress understand that science funding creates jobs and has much broader positive impacts throughout the economy. Please continue to let your congressional representatives hear just how much science benefits us all.
Lifestyles of biochemists around the world vary tremendously. One of my former postdocs returned to a biotech job in Hyderabad, India, where she and her husband have at their service a daily housekeeper and cook in addition to full-time child care for their two children located in a building immediately adjacent to her lab. If only all of us could have it so good! Labs also are funded in different ways in different countries. In Germany, for example, a faculty position comes with a certain number of staff or student positions and grants pay for supplies. In contrast, U.S. universities rarely provide postdoctoral or staff salaries, and thus salaries represent the largest proportion of grant budgets. This makes it tough for investigators when grants don't get renewed – often, staff must be laid off. In many countries, such as Germany and Japan, young scientists are discouraged by the lack of tenure-track, independent investigator positions that are common in the U.S. Funding mechanisms also vary widely: I have reviewed a few applications from the U.K.'s Wellcome Trust; compared with a typical U.S. National Institutes of Health grant proposal, these were brief and seemed like they practically could have been written in the shower. It was a relief to see a funding agency take into account an investigator's track record and focus primarily on the importance of the question to be studied.
At the moment, our thoughts are with all of our Japanese colleagues still recovering from the earthquake and tsunami of March 11. The Japanese people are strong, and the government seems well equipped to oversee reconstruction and redevelopment of a large swath of northeastern Honshu Island. Let us hope that the crisis at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Facility soon will stabilize with minimal adverse health consequences.
ASBMB is an international organization, and we need to continue to do more to address the needs and interests of our international membership. Just read the table of contents of any of our journals or the lists of our journal editors, and you will see that our authors and editors span the globe. In the months ahead, watch for new collaborations with the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. ASBMB represents all biochemists and molecular biologists, because we share a desire to understand the molecular basis of life.

University of Rochester Press will publish a book that is already attracting critical acclaim from proofs that were sent out to potential reviewers, the first volume of Gunther Schuller's autobiography. Whether you know Schuller as a jazz composer and performer, or a jazz historian, or a composer of contemporary concert music, or a conductor or writer on classical music, or even - for those with long memories - a horn player, you will be charmed by Schuller's attempt to 'document the incredibly fortunate, exciting life in music (and its sister arts) that I have been privileged to live thus far,' as he puts it in his Preface to the book.
Here, after our summer break, is the first of a number of extracts from this compelling memoir. In this week's edited extract, we join Schuller as a horn player in the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera in 1949:
One of that season's happiest encounters for me—and I think for most of the orchestra—was the arrival of Jonel Perlea, one of the best conductors to grace the Met's podium during my years there. Romanian-born, but trained in Munich and Leipzig, where he studied with Max Reger at the Hochschule (he must have been in the same classes with my father, both being the same age), Perlea had already enjoyed a distinguished conducting career in Europe, including leading the first performances in Romania of Rosenkavalier, Meistersinger, and Falstaff.
At the Met Perlea was given four operas to conduct: Rigoletto, Carmen, Traviata, and for his American debut, Tristan und Isolde. In his very first rehearsal we could tell that we were in the hands of a superior musician. (I found out later that he was also a fine composer, more than just a conductor-composer.) He managed to bring to that ecstasy- and hysteria-laden score a wonderful calming restraint. With Fritz Stiedry the more frantic episodes in Tristan, especially in the third act, could easily spin out of control. It is incredibly intense music, sometimes more intense than it can readily tolerate. Perlea treated the music with an almost chamber music transparency—lyric, eloquent, even elegant—without diluting the drama and emotional excitement of Tristan, or for that matter of Carmen or any of the operas Perlea was given.
All this was all the more amazing since Perlea had had a heart attack and a stroke, and as a result was paralyzed on most of his right side; he conducted only with his left hand. This is highly unusual and takes some getting used to—which we did very quickly. We really loved this man. Alas, Perlea was at the Met for only one year. All year long we kept hearing backstage rumors that certain conductors, especially Alberto Erede, also new at the Met in 1949, were agitating with the management to have Perlea retired. If true, it was but another typical example of what is known far and wide in the music world as "opera intrigue." I saw Perlea several times in the 1950s in the hallways at the Manhattan School of Music, where both of us were on the faculty, and I could never resist telling him how much we missed him after he was let go.
Near the end of the 1949 Met tour we began to hear rumors that our orchestra might be hired to play a two-week season—at the Metropolitan Opera House—of the visiting Sadler's Wells Ballet. The rumor turned out to be true, and the two weeks with Sadler's Wells were a wonderful musical and educational experience. It brought back many happy memories of my days with the Ballet Theatre, six years earlier; and now I was fortunate enough to witness with my own eyes the brilliant work of England's premier ballet company, with its outstanding, oh so graceful prima ballerina, Margot Fonteyn. (This was a special bonus for Margie [Schuller's wife], who was so keenly interested in great ballet. She came to almost every performance, accompanied by Jeannie Clark, my dancer friend from Ballet Theatre.) But for me the two major highlights of the Sadler's Wells visit were the discovery of Prokofiev's extraordinary Cinderella music (in its first performance in the United States), and the amazing experience of working with Constant Lambert.
I really looked forward to playing with Lambert, for I admired him greatly as a composer, and for years had heard that he was a marvelous conductor. In England he was generally considered a lightweight composer, I assume owing to his very jazzy 1929 Rio Grande Suite and his catchy, devilishly clever ballet Horoscope. I thought of him more as a kind of British George Gershwin, a high compliment.
I was thrilled with his conducting; it was so intelligent and sensitive, although I noticed that sometimes in certain performances his beat, his direction, would be kind of wavering, wobbly. I began to realize that the man was at times not entirely sober. It got worse when, in the middle of the second week, disaster struck. Halfway through Tchaikovsky's Hamlet music (which Lambert had turned into a ballet), completely befuddled, he simply broke down in tears and slumped over the podium. We tried to keep playing; Felix Eyle, our concertmaster, beat time with his bow. But it was no use; we barely knew the music (none of us had ever played Hamlet before), and we certainly didn't know the dancers' tempos. We never finished the performance. It was a truly tragic occasion; I felt so bad for Lambert. We now all knew that he was a raging alcoholic, and wondered how he had held up so long.
Discovering Prokofiev's Cinderella music was a much happier experience. It was completely new to me—the first recording (of only excerpts of that ballet) didn't come out in England until a year after the New York performances. I was so taken with the sheer melodic, harmonic beauty of the music, with Prokofiev's seemingly boundless creative imagination, that I knew I had to somehow get a look at the score. When I found that none was available for purchase, I did the next best thing: over a period of fours days, in every intermission during the six rehearsals we had of Cinderella, I copied out, either fully or in a shorthand of mine, a dozen of my favorite excerpts from Lambert's conducting score—which, bless him, he always left on his podium in the pit.
I was now approaching my fifth year at the Met. Two major events loomed ahead, which made my life there much more agreeable, much more rewarding musically, professionally, and artistically. One such event was my full promotion to co-principal horn. David Rattner was relieved of his position near the end of the 1949–50 season, and I was told sometime on the spring tour that Max Rudolf, Fritz Reiner, and Fritz Stiedry had all recommended that, without need for an audition, I be moved up to first horn—with an appropriate and, I thought, rather generous raise in salary. "Would I please accept the offer?" Would I? Well, of course I would. I was thrilled and gratified that my work as third horn (and first horn in Mozart and Rossini operas) had truly been appreciated. It was nice to know that the conducting staff and the management valued my particular way of playing, which contrasted considerably with Richard Moore's generally more boisterous, extroverted style. I think they recognized that I brought a composer's insights to my playing, an intimate awareness of the music's inner workings, structurally, orchestrationally, conceptually, particularly in regard to ensemble considerations.
For me it wasn't just a horn part, which one could use to display one's soloistic and technical prowess. My horn part was just one of some thirty other voices that in toto yielded the complex and constantly variable ensemble relationships in an orchestra. I can truly say that there was no ego involved in my playing—pride yes (when justified), but ego, no. I knew that I and my horn part were just one small cog in a great wheel that required constant flexibility and pliancy in adjusting to the myriad and diverse collective demands of the composition. Fitting in—rather than standing out—gave me the greatest pleasure—and still does to this day, a commitment I ardently pursue as a conductor as well.
The other event that not only affected my life as a musician but also significantly enlivened New York's musical scene, and probably, by extension, the entire opera field in the United States, was the ascendancy of Rudolf Bing to the general manager throne of the Metropolitan Opera Company. I use such language because, in my view and that of most others in the opera world, Bing was an authoritarian aristocrat, virtually a dictator, certainly not a pleasant man to work for and with. He had a rather severe don't-mess-with-me look about him all the time. Indeed, with his balding head, piercing eyes, and hawklike nose, he always reminded me of Max Schreck in Nosferatu, Murnau's famous vampire film of 1922. His twenty-two years at the helm of the Met were marked by continual strife, altercations, feuds, and controversy—although they weren't always his fault or his creation.
All that said, one has to acknowledge that he was in the end an extraordinarily talented, genial impresario–general manager. He really knew his stuff. Bing was what we call in German a real Opernhase (opera hare), richly experienced as managing director (Intendant in German) of the Stadttheater in Darmstadt, Germany, the Charlottenburg Opera in Berlin (that city's second opera house), and as artistic director of Glyndebourne in England, literally bringing that institution to international prominence in the 1950s. In 1957 he helped organize and then managed the Edinburgh Festival.
Bing was remarkably knowledgeable in musical matters, especially in his primary function and responsibility of bringing to the house the best and most appropriate singers. He set the highest standards in selecting and hiring the casts himself, a skill that had eluded Edward Johnson in his later years. It is not enough to know that a certain role is for a soprano or baritone, and then hire the most famous soprano or baritone in the business. Every part, every role, has its own characteristic requisites: questions of range, timbre, size, and quality of voice. In the category of soprano alone there are officially three kinds: dramatic, lyric, and coloratura. But the Italians make further distinctions, such as soprano acuto (high soprano) and soprano leggiero (light soprano), and—I like this one—soprano sfogato. Furthermore, the Italian vocal tradition is significantly different from the German, and even from the French and English. In addition, not all composers always conformed in their vocal works to these basic categorizations. The same distinct differentiations exist in the other four vocal types: alto, tenor, baritone, and bass. So the opera manager must know particular singers' voices really well in order to choose someone with the right quality, timbre, and expressive character—not to mention acting ability and stage presence, another aspect of casting decisions that Bing addressed very seriously and successfully. In these matters he engaged a whole roster of singers in his first year as manager who, by their presence and artistry, raised the overall artistic level of the Met. To name a few: the galvanic mezzo-soprano, Fedora Barbieri; the outstanding (but woefully underappreciated) Lucine Amara, who sang important roles at the Met for another incredible twenty-seven years, still in beautiful voice to the very end; Hans Hotter, in the twilight of his career, but one of the greatest Inquisitors ever in Verdi's Don Carlos; Roberta Peters; Mario del Monaco; Victoria de los Angeles; and, above all, Cesare Siepi, one of the very greatest vocal artists I had the privilege to work with in my fifteen years at the Met.
