MichaelDiSanto and Sam O'Connor (right) helped Harvard set a course record in its fall finale.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The Harvard heavyweight and lightweight crews swept their events at the Foot of the Charles regatta Saturday morning on the Charles River, setting a course record in the process as they closed the fall competition season.
The Crimson heavyweight varsity four A finished the head-race course in a record time of 12:46.415, as Harvard boats took the top two spots in the varsity fours race. The Harvard lightweight varsity four A took seventh in the 49-boat field, ahead of the top heavyweight entries from six schools. In the freshman eights, the Crimson won both the heavyweight and lightweight divisions.
The record-setting, winning crew of James O'Connor, Sam O'Connor, Michael Disanto, Josh Hicks and coxswain David Fuller finished more than 14 seconds faster than the rest of the field. The Harvard B entry edged Syracuse A by about one-third of a second for runner-up honors. Harvard C made it three Crimson boats in the top five by beating the Brown A entry by nearly four-fifths of a second, and Harvard D made it four Harvard heavyweight entries in the top nine.
Harvard's top lightweight entry crossed the line in 13:15.148, ahead of the top heavyweight boats from Dartmouth, Northeastern, MIT, Massachusetts, Boston College and Union. The Harvard lightweight B entry placed 12th in 13:31.210, about 2.5 seconds faster than Syracuse C and also faster than the second Brown heavyweight boat. The Crimson's lightweight C entry took 16th place.
In the 24-boat freshman race, Harvard's heavyweight A entry finished more than three seconds ahead of second-place Boston University and the rest of the field in 12:08.246. The Crimson lightweight A boat placed fifth in 13:14.090, nearly three seconds faster than the sixth-place MIT heavyweights and 12 ahead of the MIT lightweights. The Harvard heavyweight B and lightweight B entries placed 12th and 13th, respectively.

GIMPS has discovered a new largest known prime number: 282589933-1 (24,862,048 digits)
Dickson conjectured in 1904 that given a family of linear functions with integer coefficients ai > 1 and bi:
a1n + b1, a2n + b2, akn + bk,then there are infinitely many integers n > 0 for which these are simultaneously prime unless they "obviously cannot be" (that is, unless there is a prime p which divides the product of these for all n). This is now called Dickson's Conjecture.
Many conjectures follow from Dickson's conjecture. For example, if the functions are n and n+2, then Dickson's conjecture implies the twin prime conjecture. If the functions are n and 2n+1, then we have the conjecture that there are infinitely many Sophie Germain primes. The prime k-tuple conjecture is also a special case of Dickson's conjecture, as is the conjecture that for each positive integer n, there is an arithmetic sequence of n primes. Finally, if Dickson's conjecture is true, then there are infinitely many composites Mersenne numbers as well as infinitely many Carmichael numbers with just three prime factors.
Schinzel and Sierpinski extended Dickson's conjecture into the analogous Hypothesis H for integer polynomials with arbitrary degree.
Dickson's conjecture can be heuristically quantified as follows. Let w(p) be the number of solutions to
(a1n + b1)(a2n + b2).....( akn + bk) = 0 (mod p).Then the expected number of positive integers n less than N which yield k simultaneous primes
a1n + b1, a2n + b2, akn + bk,is conjectured to be asymptotic to
where the products are taken over the set of all primes p.
If we replace "there are infinitely many integers n > 0 for which these are simultaneously prime" in Dickson's conjecture with "there is an integer n > 0 for which these are simultaneously prime," then we appear to weaken the conjecture. But it is easy to show these two conjectures are equivalent!
Another important conjecture that follows from Dickson's conjecture is that if a1 < a2 < ... < ak are nonzero integers for which there is no prime dividing the product
(x + a1)(x + a2).....(x + ak)for all integers n, then there are infinitely many positive integers n for which
x+a1, x+a2, . . . x+ak,are consecutive primes.
This form of Dickson's conjecture implies that for each positive integer n, there are infinitely many arithmetic sequence of n consecutive primes. It also implies Polignac's conjecture, and ...

Scope and Contents of the Records
Ernst von Rosenberg Papers, 1899-1915
Von Rosenberg Family Papers, 1859-1964
A Guide to the Von Rosenberg Family Papers, 1871-1964
Biographical Note
Ernst von Rosenberg (1852-1915), longstanding draftsman and chief draftsman at the Texas General Land Office, was born in 1852 near Round Top, Texas to Carl Wilhelm and Auguste von Rosenberg. Ernst's father, Carl Wilhelm (William) von Rosenberg (1821–1901), was also a chief draftsman at the Texas General Land Office and an emigrant with the Adelsverein. The family moved to Austin in 1856, when Ernst was three years old. Public education options were limited in Austin, but Ernst von Rosenberg was self-educated and, following in his father's footsteps, he was appointed draftsman of the General Land Office in 1876. He was appointed chief draftsman in 1913. With the exception of a two-year period from 1891 to 1893, Ernst von Rosenberg was a draftsman at the Texas General Land Office for thirty-seven years, from 1876 until the time of his death in 1915.
In 1879 von Rosenberg married Helene Lungkwitz, daughter of Texas landscape artist Herman Lungkwitz. Ernst and Helene had eight children, two of whom, Ernest Jacob von Rosenberg and Herman Ursini von Rosenberg, continued the family tradition by pursuing careers at the General Land Office. Ernst von Rosenberg was actively involved in the Austin community throughout his life. As a young man he served in the Travis Rifles, a volunteer infantry company. He was a long-time member of the Austin Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 and served as its secretary-treasurer for forty years; he also served on the board of the Friends in Need Society, an early fraternal benefit society and insurance organization for whites. Von Rosenberg also served as Alderman on the Austin city council.
Carl Wilhelm (William) von Rosenberg (1821–1901) and Auguste von Rosenberg had eleven children in all, including Ernst, Paul, William, Jr., Frederick, Laura, and Emma. Ernest Jacob von Rosenberg (1889-1975), draftsman, was born to Ernst and Helene von Rosenberg in Austin and worked as an engineer at the Reclamation Department, the Texas General Land Office, and at the Texas Highway Department.

Scope and Contents of the Records
Correspondence, land records, financial documents, records of fraternal organizations, and family papers document the business and some personal affairs of Ernst von Rosenberg, as well as land ownership and some personal affairs of family members, including sons Ernest Jacob and Paul von Rosenberg, mother Auguste von Rosenberg, and Charles Wilhelm von Rosenberg. Ernst's personal land interests are well documented from 1896-1915 through business correspondence, many with his land agent George Myers. More information about family land holdings, in particular lands on the Walker Wilson, J.G. McGehee, Cocke, and Crawford surveys, is found in Land Papers in the Family Papers sub-group. Documentation of Ernst's employment at the Texas General Land Office is limited to his applications for employment as draftsman in 1899 and chief draftsman in 1903, a printed circular demanding an increase in draftsmen's salaries, and a paystub for the special project he worked on to determine the extent of vacant public land in 1899. Letters of reference written to Land Commissioner John James Terrell (1857-1920, Land Commissioner 1903-1909) from associates across Texas supporting Ernst's employment at the land office show his wide and varied support and associations; correspondents of note include George Littlefield, George Myers, and O. W. Williams. The Financial Documents include tax receipts and other household invoices, and illuminate aspects of the Von Rosenberg household as well as local government and businesses in Austin in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Family papers are few and limited to birth and professional certificates of Ernest J. von Rosenberg. Family members are also mentioned in Ernst's land business and GLO-related correspondence, in the tax receipts, and especially in the Land Papers series mentioned above.
Some insight into Ernst von Rosenberg's civic life is provided in the Fraternal Organizations papers. The bulk of this series is from the Friends in Need Society. The correspondence, addressed to G. A. Wheatley, the Secretary of the organization, is from members requesting benefits. Also included is limited documentation of the Select Knights of Texas, the Austin Hook & Ladder Fire Co. No. 1, and the Ancient Order United Workmen of Texas. Ernst's interest in local politics and his opinions about development in the City of Austin and the fire company's involvement in political elections are shown in the notes and clippings.
There is a small addition of correspondence from Ernst's father Carl Wilhelm von Rosenberg to W. G. Hansbrough regarding a land ownership dispute with Carl Wilhelm acting as land agent for Hansbrough.

Packing Up
Here's the deal: my husband is working in New York now more than he isn't and we are so damned thankful that he has this job, you have no idea. However, it requires that I am alone a lot and I've been getting lonely. My parents are RVing around the country and I can't be all up in my sister's business constantly, so I thought, hmm. I know someone else who is alone in the winter and would love to have me around. MOMMOM! So the baby and I are going to stay with my grandmother in the town that I call Millpond, but which, BIG REVEAL, is actually Milford, Delaware of all places. So I will be in rural, southern Delaware with crappy internet and cell phone service and pretzel salad on menus for an extended period of time. It's about four hours from New York, so this will make it easy to see my husband on the weekends and I think it will work out well for everyone. I can make sure my grandmother is safe and cared for and driven places during the winter when it's hard for her to get around. I can make her healthy meals and make her laugh and she can play with the baby as much as she wants. In return, I get company, help with the baby and precious time spent with people I love that I don't get to see enough and maybe, if I'm very lucky, I will get some snow and Baby Lawns will get to play in it. I will also get Trader Joe's because there's one on the way from the airport.
I'm pretty excited. I also have an air card this trip so we'll see if we can get some internet for me. Last summer I about lost my mind. My grandmother lives so far in the country that her TV doesn't even get good reception because the dang signal is so weak. We have to watch DVDs a lot because of it. Can you even imagine? I don't even want to talk about the lack of Whole Foods on top of that, the closest of which is in Annapolis. But you know what? I will live and I will have a good time. I can eat conventional produce. I can, maybe, do without constant technology. Or not. I don't know.
Next time I write, I'll be up north!

Travel safe!
I hope the new arrangements turn out to be everything you hope they'll be.
By the way, I think it's great that Baby Lawns and Mommom will get to spend a lot of time together.
- Upside Down said...
Safe travels! My uncle actually lives I think in Milford but on bay. I believe close to Slaughter Beach? It's been years since I was down there.
You should see some snow. It's supposed to snow up here Saturday of course, the day my husband and I move to our new house in NJ.
- Head Ant said...
You don't need the internet to work on that memoir!
It's good to hear what you are up to!
I do know what it's like to live in heat and wish for snow so I hope you get your wish.
Travel safe, keep well, enjoy your time there and wishing you and yours all the very best.
- Dawn said...
I can't believe Millpond is in Delaware! I always pictured it in Ohio for some reason. Will you be far from Philadelphia?
My happiest memories as a child were spent with my beloved Mom Mom (hence the name of my blog); you are giving Baby Lawns an amazing gift. Enjoy your family!
- JoeinVegas said...
Have fun back home
- Heather said...
Ahh! I was so close -- I thought it was in Maryland. Poor Delaware, even the people who live right next to it forget it exists (until they get a speeding ticket on 95).
I so love your writing -- I can't wait until I have your book someday.

The Coad Letter: Modeling and Design Edition, Issue 68, a New Beginning, by Stephen Palmer
By: Coad Letter Modeling Editor
Abstract: In this issue, we look at the four archetypes in the Domain Neutral Component.
Thank you for your kind interest in The Coad Letter. Some of you have been
active readers of this brief, frequent, and informative series of special
reports for many years now. I remain most grateful.
I am writing to share with you that I recently changed my career focus:
I am now spending 24/7 as the CEO of the startup TogetherSoft Corporation.
And I love it! The stories I could tell, the lessons learned, the joy of mentally
growing and stretching in every way possible! Business is great, we're hitting
new sales records each month--and we're profitable! Lovely.
I have really enjoyed writing The Coad Letter, sharing what I am learning
in practice with you: practical, down-to-earth, real insights from modeling
with teams around the globe. Yet now my career focus has changed, and so I
wish to ask someone I completely trust to continue in my stead.
Introducing the new lead editor of The Coad Letter: Steve Palmer. Steve
is the modeler and designer I have personally spent the *most* time with,
building models and facilitating teams together. He was there when we first
modeled in color. He was there when we first put "lessons learned from Fred"
(Coad Letter issue 44) into practice on a large-scale project. And his knowledge
of design and Java surpasses my own.
And so it is my privilege to introduce Steve as the new lead editor of
The Coad Letter. Other very talented ones on my team, called (I write this
sheepishly) Coad-certified Mentors (CCMs) will contribute. Steve takes the
Best wishes for success in all, including better modeling and design,
Peter Coad
Welcome to this new series of The Coad Letter!
In 1997 Pete introduced the idea of adding color to object models (Coad Letter
44). Over the following two years, a number of subsequent Coad Letters built
on that theme (Coad Letters 51, 54, 58-65). Then last summer, Pete consolidated
the work in chapter one of the 'Java Modeling in Color with UML' book
published by Prentice Hall (chapter one can also be downloaded from
Using color-coded class archetypes has become our primary modeling technique
at TogetherSoft. However, drawing object models in ASCII is tedious and time
consuming; drawing color object models in ASCII is impossible. Also, TogetherSoft's
tool, Together, supports modeling in color with UML very well and it seems
a little silly not to use it. Therefore, making the most of this transition
phase, I'm going to start publishing the Coad Letter in HTML format instead
of plain ASCII text.
Also over the next few months, I hope to introduce you to some of the other
Coad-Certified Mentors in the TogetherSoft family and let them share with
you insights from their varied backgrounds and experience.
Now finally to this issue...
In this issue, we apply Pete's Domain Neutral Component to a simple but
typical modeling example. I recently worked with a group that was struggling
a little with applying the Domain Neutral Component to their object model.
This example helped clarify some of the design trade offs involved. First,
a bit of background for any that are new to modeling in color and the Domain
Neutral Component...
When modeling, we look for four categories of Problem Domain (PD)
class, the four class archetypes:
The archetypes suggest typical attributes and methods for their classes.
The archetypes also suggest typical interactions between classes of different
The Domain Neutral Component (DNC) is a pattern of archetypes that
occurs again and again within PD object models of business systems.
It look as follows:
Let's have a go at modeling account membership at a simple video rental business.
We'll start by replacing the archetypes in the DNC with names from our problem
domain. The event or activity we want to track is a person applying
for a membership account. So lets replace the MomentInterval class with a
class called AccountApplication.
The DNC consists of three similar-looking legs connected to the
MI classes; the Party leg, the Place leg and the Thing leg. Attacking the
Party leg first - the role being played by a party in the AccountApplication
is that of a membership holder (potential and/or confirmed). So we replace
the PartyRole class with a class called Member. We'll restrict ourselves to
renting to people (and not include organisations) so we replace the Party
class with Person. Similarly the PartyDescription class becomes PersonDesc;
we could use this class to handle people of different age groups and store
the video ratings that an age group may legally rent, for example.
The Thing leg is next. The membership account is the thing for which we
are applying, We, therefore, replace Thing with Account. ThingDescription
becomes AccountDesc; we can use this to provide default values for different
types of account (maximum number of tapes rentable at any one time for example).
The ThingRole class? Any attributes and behavior specific to the way an Account
participates in the AccountApplication can be placed here so we'll call it
Lastly the Place leg. People apply for accounts at a video store. We can
model this as some type of building or Property (high rise/low rise, commercial/residential,
etc.) playing the role of a video store.
The result is a very powerful, flexible model shape in no time at all.
Notice we have lost the MI-Detail class because we did not identify any parts
to our account application process. Conceivably we could allow a person to
apply for multiple accounts at the same time and that would require a suitable
MI-Detail class but this capability would not be useful in our video rental
domain. Another side-effect of this decision to support only one account
per person is the narrowing from 0..* to 1 in cardinality between the AccountApplication
class and the AccountInApplication class.
Much of the flexibility provided by our model is obviously overkill for
a simple video rental business. Therefore, lets see what other classes we
can drop out along the legs where we do not need the extra flexibility.
The rather contrived name of AccountInApplication is a clue. If there is
little or no behavior and/or attributes specific to an Account while it participates
in the application process we can drop the AccountInApplication role class.
If the difference in account types is very small and AccountDesc only has
a handful of methods we can also drop the AccountDesc class and represent
the type as a simple attribute (probably enumerated) in the Account class,
plus a handful of static methods (for example, listNewAccounts()).
(Note: static methods would not work in most distributed object frameworks
because they do not support remote invocation of static methods.).
It does not make sense to allow video store members to close and reopen
membership accounts unless members are charged regular subscription fees.
This is not usually the case for a simple video rental business; membership
is normally for life. Therefore we can replace the other 0..* cardinality
between AccountApplication and Account with 1.
The result is:
For a small video rental business, the store at which you apply for membership
is of no relevance; indeed the business may only operate one store or may
be operated via the web. In this case the whole Place leg can be dropped.
If the store is relevant (for example, in the case of a video store chain),
we can again challenge the need for a separate role class and the need for
a separate description class in addition to the Property class ( maybe just
a green Place class.would be good enough).For the purposes of this example,
let's assume we do not need the store at all. Now our model looks as follows:
Lets review the Party leg of the model. Again if the PersonDesc does not
add much value to our model we can fold it into a simple attribute and maybe
a static method or two in the Person class. Do we need the Member role? Party
roles are far more common than Thing roles and Place roles. We'll probably
need some other party roles at some point (Cashier springs to mind) so it's
safer to keep the Member role for now. Role classes have attributes and operations
that are specific to the roleplayer's participation in that role. Typical
attributes are an ID or a status and typical operations for a Member role
class could include: assessAccountArrears(), listFavoriteGenre(), listRentalHistory().
We still allow a Member to make multiple applications. We have already
decided that membership is for life so a member will only ever have one successful
AccountApplication that we need to keep around at any one time. Keeping record
of previous failed AccountApplications does not seem important enough to
warrant the complexity of a 0..* relationship between Member and AccountApplication;
let's reduce that to a 1.
The 1-1 association between AccountApplication and Account suggest we can
collapse AccountApplication and Account into one class. It is really the
account that we are interested in; we have reduced the application process
until it is trivial. At most, we might keep a dateApplied attribute and a
dateApproved attribute so that we could ask the Account class its status.
Let's see what we have left:
We now have another 1-1 association between Member and Account. Let's merge
the Account into Member. Why keep Member and not Account - after all, in
the end it is little more than a choice of name and color for a class? Choosing
Person and Member leaves us with a roleplayer class and a related role class.
Remember the DNC is a pattern that occurs again and again in business systems.
Person and Member fit the DNC better than Person and Account; it helps us
plug Member into other MomentIntervals (Rental for example).
In some cases we may be uninterested in the actual role player or the roleplayer
may only ever play one role. If this were the case we would end up with single
role class, Member, representing account membership.
We started with ten classes and have ended up with one class. Ok, so this
example is a little artificial but I hope it has demonstrated some of the
subtle power of the Domain Neutral Component and illustrated some of the
design trade offs between flexibility and simplicity. Obviously our start
and end points represent two extremes; the object model we want is the simplest
that does the job and no simpler. Color modeling and the DNC are great techniques
we can use to make our work easier but they are certainly not a silver bullet
or an excuse to disengage our brains.
Have fun
Stephen Palmer

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 10, No. 2 Fall 1983 Lyle E. Jacobsen UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII USE OF KNOTTED STRING ACCOUNTING RECORDS IN OLD HAWAII AND ANCIENT CHINA Abstract: The use of the "quipu" for accounting purposes has been primarily attributed to the Peruvian Inca culture in the days of old. Documented evidence, however, provides that early Hawaiians and ancient Chinese predated the Incan usage. Studies concentrating on the quipu as an accounting device rather than as an element in the evolution of the writing process might provide valuable con-tributions to the solution of the mystery surrounding this artifact. Insight into the development of mankind in the Pacific may be gained by understanding the use of the quipu in the East and West, and in Hawaii—the "meeting place" of the Pacific. An artifact mentioned in the research of anthropology, archae-ology, and ethnology is of interest to accountants, particularly ac-counting historians. This artifact—the knotted string record—is most commonly known in published research of these three scientific areas by the Peruvian (not Spanish) name, "quipu," "quippo," "kipu," or "khipu" which means "knots" in the Quechua (or Quichua) Indian language of the Peruvian Inca Empire. The author became fascinated with these knotted string records while assisting Stanford University establish Latin America's first exclusively graduate school of business in Lima, Peru in 1963-64. He published an article describing the Incan use of the quipu.1 The article which follows presents some documentation of early use of knotted string records as accounting devices in old Hawaii and in ancient China. Hawaii The Hawaiian use of knotted string records as accounting devices is described more recently by travelers than either the Peruvian or Chinese use. One such traveler to Hawaii, cited later in this Acknowledgement to Michael George Brown, Laurie Darnell, and Philip Lai for reading this manuscript and offering suggestions for improvement.

Objective: To create an informed CFA-wide cadre of dynamic individuals committed to educating spectators at cat shows and other events about cats, CFA, and the types of opportunities that exist in the broader cat fancy
On February 7, 2004, the CFA Board of Directors heartily approved the CFA Ambassadors Program, a joint initiative of the CFA Mentoring Program and Marketing Committee. The mission of this new project is to create an informed cadre of dynamic individuals throughout CFA, that is committed to educating and reaching out to spectators at cat shows, and other events, with information about cats, CFA, and the types of opportunities that exist in the broader cat fancy. After cultivating an interest in the cat fancy, it is our hope that interested individuals will cross the threshold into the cat fancy, become active members of the CFA Mentoring Program and eventually become fully engaged participants in whatever facet of the fancy that they find most enriching to their lives, be it animal rescue, pet therapy, exhibition, or public education.
As a CFA Ambassador, you have the opportunity to impact the lives of spectators in a positive and meaningful way. The chapters in this handbook address questions and issues which are relevant to cat owners and cat show spectators. Use the information on the following pages as a guideline for answering common questions from spectators. While there is not a "one size fits all" answer for every question, it is especially important to answer spectator questions with care.
The general meaning of "ambassador" is "an informal representative who spreads goodwill." In CFA, all judges are automatically considered ambassadors. In fact, the Judging Program rules state:
"Each person connected in any capacity with this Program should conduct himself/herself at all times in a professional and dignified manner, in and out of the judging ring, remembering that he/she is serving in the capacity of an ambassador for CFA, and seek to be a credit to this organization."
As "exhibitor" ambassadors, much of the same criteria will apply. Your "job" will be to make spectators feel welcome at our shows, and help them understand cats, cat care, CFA recognized breeds and cat shows.
Breeders and exhibitors are the backbone of CFA. Our cat shows couldn't exist without them. In turn, spectators are the lifeblood of our shows. In many ways, the spectator is the future of CFA. Club members spend a great deal of time attracting spectators to our shows. They want them to have such a pleasant experience that they will return, year after year, and perhaps even become so interested that they take on the challenge of exhibiting and maybe even breeding. Making sure that the spectators' experience is a positive one, reinforcing their interest in cat shows, and educating them will be YOUR task as ambassador!
Spectators at shows are there because they share the same interest as you – a simple love of cats. They take pride in sharing photos of their own cats, as do we. Be polite, and show an interest in their photos. Always find something to compliment them on, even if it is only the color of the cat.
Spectators don't always recognize breeds, so if someone asks "Is that a Russian Blue?" while they are looking at a Korat, you can say politely "Well, it's almost the same color as a Russian, but if you look closely you'll see the head shape and body type are quite different on this Korat." Think how much better that answer is, and how educational, rather than just a quick, "No, it's a Korat."
Time is limited and probably won't allow for a long conversation. Keep your answers short and simple. Should you need to extricate yourself from a long conversation, do so with grace – "Excuse me, I'm sorry, but they just gave a grooming call for my cat and I will need to concentrate on getting him ready for the ring. Perhaps we can continue our conversation later?"
Probably the most difficult-to-understand etiquette at a show, for spectators, is our "do not touch" criteria. We might think our "Do Not Touch – Owner Bites" cage signs are cute, but they certainly tend to leave a "mean" impression in a spectator. Explaining these signs, and the reasons for them, requires tact. A simple answer can be given, without preaching, that if the spectator watches a judging ring he will notice that the judges washes their hands with disinfectant in between cats, and the cages are also cleaned between cats. Explain that we take the health of our animals seriously, and they shouldn't be offended if someone refuses to allow them to pet their cat, or asks them to disinfect their hands before doing so.
Above all, ambassadors should always smile, be polite and be extremely tactful in your responses. You may well be speaking to the future of CFA!
If you wish to reach the CFA Ambassador Program, please send us an email. We appreciate your input and will get back to you as quickly as possible.

It's even keyring mountable. So if you're constantly charging up a variety of batteries for all your gear, and don't fancy hauling all the power bricks around this might be an elegant solution.

we have internet! yay!! who would have thought something so dumb could make one so happy. maybe with the addition of being able to access the interworldnetwebs i will make appearances more often. meh. i will try.
things are things. my new normal is strange. and i do not always care for it. things feel misplaced. and lost. but it is what it is. i have made that statement so many times over the last couple of decades. and it is true. but i am beginning to dislike that phrase. quite a bit.
Lil'K is back in the hospital. it saddens me that we have to do that. at nine years old she has been in a mental institution of one caliber or another at least 6 times. i wonder if it will always be like this? and if it is...will we survive it. while walking down the hallway after leaving her in the care of her unit i said to the nurse that i did not know if it was good or bad but that admitting her was getting easier. it was no longer accompanied by a sob fest in the car. we did cry together in the assessment room. she had a rough time. begging and pleading. tearing the room up. trying to escape. running into the door. bargaining to not have to stay. but when that wave was over and her mood had returned to normal she agreed that it was the best place for her. because no matter how much she hated it, it did help. i can honestly say that the state of care surrounding mental illness in this country is a joke. and sad. and it frustrates me. and angers me.
Big'K is back from college. i believe the Asperger's got the best of her. she decided to return to a normal setting and wait until it was the right time to head to college. i am disappointed that it did not work out, but not disappointed in her or her decision. she has said that if college does not work out the second time that she is considering the military. this is the first time she has ever come close to even mentioning or accepting the military as an option. i am not sure how i feel. but we will have to see how it all works out.
other than that the house is coming along. slowly. the yellow house still sits in front of The Tin Beast. but hopefully this will be the year it gets torn down and hauled off. i hate seeing it sit there. reminding all of us of the fire.
well my friends, i do hope today finds you well. and hopefully it will not be too long until i fall into here again...

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 121 diseños de 45 diseñadores freelance.
Help develop the identity for a brand new range of hair and body eco-chic products targeted at the mass market.
Evolve beauty: live better
I am currently developing a hair and bodycare range which has the following positioning:
- "clean" (i.e. no toxic ingredients instead natural ingredients but not flowery or stinky),
- gentle (no irritants or fragrance)
- eco-friendly ingredients and packaging
- It will appeal to a wide demographic of people (both men and women but primarily women) aged 20 - 50I need a logo that I can base a brand identity (look, colour, packging) around so the logo needs to work on a bottle, website and in a leaflet. To work on a bottle it needs to be relatively simple and impactful, and also needs to work with a product name (e.g. shampoo) placed close to the logo.
- the main word is to be "evolve" and this can be upper or lower case. it's full name is "evolve beauty" (on the web) and this can be used as well if desired
- a tagline could be used if desired - "live better"
- the style should be a balance between modern and impactful, and respecting the fact that this design needs to appeal to a wide age range and a mass market.
- the style should be feminine enough for women yet still relatively unisex.
- it is important that the range looks high quality although it will be priced affordably
- the background that the logo will be on is likely to be a light to mid-colour such as a tone of green or blue rather than white. it could be an photographic image if desired
- Anything too "green" or "hippy" looking - this is a mass market product
- Anything too "girlie" - this is a unisex product
- Anything too "tech" - the name lends itself to tech stuff I know, but this is a skincare range and so it needs to be organic and clean.

The Pooled Income Fund
Start your own revolution ...
Enlist in the Colonial Williamsburg Pooled Income Fund
The Colonial Williamsburg pooled income fund is an excellent way to participate in the many benefits of life income gifts. The pooled income fund combines separate gifts from many individual donors into a common investment fund. Colonial Williamsburg invests these funds and each year you receive your proportionate share of the actual investment income from the fund.
Because the pooled income fund combines many gifts into a common investment "pool," it can accept smaller gifts, and it is easy and convenient to make additional gifts. The minimum gift for the pooled income fund is $5,000, either in cash or marketable securities.

I pray that when you look to HIM for help and protection that it will flow freely from His Presence. I pray that every day you stay conscious of Him. Listen for His voice as you walk through your day. He wants to be a part of each step that you take and He will open the way before you. When you go through hard times keep your eyes on Him so anxiety will not over take you and lead you despair. Hold tightly to His hand as you walk along the dark paths of this world. Give thanks to Him for all that He does for us. Never forget the darkened mind that you had before He chose to pour His light and love into you, so that you could become His light in a very dark world. I pray that as you sleep He watches over you and protects your mind, heart, spirit and soul. In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen and Amen… I Love You all!!! God Bless You!!! ♥♥♥

While well-intentioned, some police jurisdictions are finding that enforcing the law is problematic.
"Because the law was written in a manner making it nearly impossible to prove, it has not been enforced as the public likely expects. We hope that knowing that the law is out there will discourage people from doing it, but knowing that it is nearly unenforceable will encourage it more," said Lt. Jason Harper of the Johns Creek Police Department.
The law makes it illegal to "operate a motor vehicle on any public road or highway of this state while using a wireless telecommunications device to write, send, or read any text based communication, including but not limited to, a text message, instant message, email or Internet data."
That essentially means leaving that Smart phone untouched in a pocket, purse or on the car seat until the vehicle is parked. Even checking email or replying to a text when stopped at a traffic light is forbidden.
"I did know there was a law in place," said Roswell resident Brian Neal. "I don't text and drive outright. I do use hands-free and speech-to-text features my phone has to send texts while I am driving on occasion though."
Since the law went into effect, Johns Creek has had a total of five citations for violation of the law.
"Our legal standard for making this charge is fairly low. However, proving it beyond a reasonable doubt is nearly impossible," said Harper, who oversees the JCPD's Traffic Unit. "The law specifically exempts navigation devices, and it does not include using the phone's address book, dialing the phone, calculator, etcetera. We have no way to prove whether they were texting or dialing the phone when we see them."
From January 2010 to present, Alpharetta police have issued 60 citations for the offense of wireless communication while driving.
"Catching violators of the particular offense is very hard. Basically there are a couple of ways to do it," said Alpharetta Public Information Officer George Gordon.
"The first is verbal confession by the driver. The police officer will conduct a traffic stop based upon their articulable suspicion of observing the driver use their handheld device to text with while operating a motor vehicle.
"Secondly, in serious cases such as a traffic crash with injuries, crash investigators could subpoena the cell phone records of the drivers involved if they believe texting could be a contributable factor to the crash."
Roswell cops have written only five citations for the two year period, according to Lt. James McGee.
Milton Communications Manager Jason Wright said only one citation has been written "and it was ultimately dismissed." It was written Feb. 18, 2011 on Freemanville Road to a 17-year-old in an accident. "Enforcement of the texting while driving law is difficult. Essentially, it's almost impossible to prove outside of an accident," Wright said.
And accidents can result. Alpharetta Public Safety Director Gary George said texting while driving is "extremely dangerous. Statistics show that someone who texts while driving greatly increases their chances of being involved in a serious incident such as a traffic crash or fatality event."

St. Norbert Hosts Adrian Saturday in NCAA Tournament Quarterfinal
From Sports Information Director, March 9, 2014 | Men's Hockey
by Dan Lukes, email@example.com, (920) 403-4077
DE PERE - St. Norbert College earned the top seeding in the West Region of the NCAA Division III Men's Ice Hockey Tournament for the 12th time in 13 years, and will receive a first-round bye in the 11-team tournament as a result.
St. Norbert (25-3-1) will host a national quarterfinal game at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Cornerstone Community Center. The Green Knights will face Adrian College (22-2-4). The winner of Saturday's quarterfinal will advance to the NCAA Division III Frozen Four on March 21-22 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine.
St. Norbert and Adrian split its two regular-season games with each other this season, both coming at the Cornerstone Community Center. The Green Knights claimed an 11-1 win on Jan. 31, while the Bulldogs bounced back the next day with a 4-1 triumph.
This tournament appearance is St. Norbert's 15th, with the Green Knights also making appearances in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. All first-round and quarterfinal-round games except for 1997 have come at home. The Green Knights are 22-11-1 all-time in the NCAA tournament and won the 2008, 2011 and 2012 national championships.
Adrian is making its fourth NCAA Division III Tournament appearance. The Bulldogs played in the tournament in 2010, 2011 and 2013. Adrian, 2-3 all-time in the tournament, lost to St. Norbert in a first-round NCAA game in 2010 and fell again to the Green Knights in the 2011 national championship game.
First-round matchups on Wednesday Salem State at Norwich, Nichols at Geneseo State and Bowdoin at Oswego State. In Saturday's other quarterfinals, the Salem State/Norwich winner will meet the Nichols/Geneseo State winner, while the Oswego State/Bowdoin winner will travel to Babson. UW-Stevens Point travels to St. Thomas in the other quarterfinal.

A great way to recycle and save money around the holidays is to make your own wrapping paper and packing materials. Paper grocery bags turned inside out and decorated can make a nice wrapping, and so can newspaper, comics, magazine pages, old maps and fabrics. You can also turn your old Christmas cards into gift tags by cutting off the back flap with the message.
When wrapping up boxes of gifts to mail, there's no need to buy bubble wrap or (god forbid) Styrofoam peanuts. Instead, protect your gifts with crumpled newspaper, plastic shopping bags, old socks (washed, of course) or anything else soft and squishy that you'd got lying around the house. Be sure to reuse your cardboard boxes, too. Just pull off or scratch out the old mailing labels and they're good as new.
If you receive a gift that's been packed with those annoying plastic peanuts that get all over the place, take note that you can RECYCLE these items. Don't put them in your bin. Instead, pack them into a plastic bag and take them by your local packing/shipping/moving store. They will usually take your peanuts and use them again, although you might want to give them a call before you stop by. If the peanuts are kind of fluffy and look like cheese puffs, then they are probably the new kind that are made of vegetable starch (you can test by seeing if they dissolve in water). These peanuts can be put in your compost bin or regular trash.

I have a brand new Ben 10 Ultimate Alien character that is massive in size, and still unscanned by Ben. This lesson is going to show you "how to draw Armodrillo", step by step. There really isn't much I can tell you about this particular alien because as of yet, Ben still hasn't used or scanned this species. I couldn't even tell you what planet Armodrillo comes from, or what kind of alien he is. All I know is that his powers are digging and super strength based. If you go to the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien website, it still says that the species is unknown, and the ultimate level of Armodrillo is also not known yet. I can however tell you that he is massive in size, has awesome strength, and he has the ability to turn his arms into weapons, and even tools. Most of Ben's aliens look like they are extraterrestrial beings right? Well, Armodrillo looks more like a robot than anything else. He is yellow in color, has a gray tail, hands, and feet, and some sort of drilling devices on his elbows. I think the character design for this alien is pretty cool, and for what ever it's worth, I believe this will be one popular addition to his ultimate force. I guess that does it for now. I will be back with a few more lessons for you to learn from. In the mean time, tackle this tutorial on "how to draw Armodrillo", step by step, and when there is more 411 on him, I will update the lesson and fill you in on what I have learned. Peace out people, and remember to have an awesome drawing day!

Pre‑K Poll Vaulting
Just as President Obama has vowed to regain the initiative and push forward with his economic and education policy agenda, an organization called The First Five Years Fund has released a new poll asking the public about Pre‑K policy. According to the poll, Americans know what they want (More federally funded Pre‑K!), and know when they want it (NOW!).
Encouraging as this must be for supporters of a larger federal role in early education, opinion polling is not a good way to design policy — any more than it is a good way to design bridges. There is an aspect of bridge construction in which public opinion does properly figure: assessing demand. But when it comes to actually designing the structure that will carry living, breathing people across a gorge, public opinion plays little role. The reason is obvious: most people lack the time, skills, and knowledge to design bridges. They know what they ultimately want out of civil engineering projects, but they don't know how best to achieve their goals.
It's the same with education policy, and indeed with policy generally. Contrary to the apparent assumption of these early education advocates, it is not inherently obvious that increased federal Pre‑K spending will ensure that children get a strong start in life. As it happens, there is a great deal of evidence that past and current federal Pre‑K programs have proven expensive failures and have even, in some cases, done harm. Nor is the advocates' currently favored policy – federally subsidized state Pre‑K programs – an obviously good idea. Some states with universal Pre‑K programs have actually seen their 4th grade test scores decline relative to the national average. There is no clear pattern of success.
Because of that fact, this is precisely not the sort of policy that should be expensively promoted at the federal level. If states wish to gamble that they can succeed where others have failed, then their residents should be the ones who put their money on the line. That approach has the merit that state politicians can be more easily held accountable than federal ones — voters have fewer issues on which to decide whom to support or oppose at the state level.
Well‐meaning as the First Five Years Fund and its philanthropic backers no doubt are, their effort to design policy based on public opinion polling is badly misguided. It is little better than a schoolyard taunt that "everyone else wants to do it." Serious people, people who actually want to achieve their stated goals and not simply win a political contest, can do better.

text: I caught the HBO documentary Resolved the other night and was totally fascinated. It's about the highly competitive world of high school debating, which is a totally different thing than I assumed it was. My idea of high school debate teams was more along the lines of something out of Rushmore, but they're actually way weirder than that. The kids try to pack as much information as they possibly can into the time that they have, so they developed an ultra-fast way of speaking that involves a sort of manic breathing technique. Rather than characterized by persuasive arguments and poise, the debates are almost scientific in the way they are crafted, and the desired result of every debate is that whatever being argued about will end in nuclear war and human extinction.

Gojira @ Mill City Nights
Gojira with The Devin Townsend Project & The Atlas Moth @ Mill City Nights
January 14th, 2013
I have been to a few shows at downtown Minneapolis' Mill City Nights since their rebranding, and I must say as far as sound quality goes – that place is made for metal. Real metal.
It is quite possible that nothing is more 'metal' than Gojira (the native Japanese Romanized spelling of Godzilla), the most legendary kaiju, or giant monster, of Japanese cinema. The creature rises out of the ocean, mutated by nuclear radiation, devastating seaside villages, then Tokyo, bringing the terrors of the Second Great War back into the minds of the Japanese populace. As horrific as this is, its well, uh… metal (for further definitions of 'metal' see Adult Swim's hit series, Metalocalypse).
Well a few young gentlemen with long hair and fast fingers from the southwestern French village, Ondres, realized this – and named their metal project in honor of the beast, almost as a virgin sacrifice. With brothers Joe and Mario Duplantier on rhythm guitar / vocals and drums respectively, Christian Andreu on lead guitar, and Jean-Michel Labadie on bass, Gojira has completed five studio albums and three live DVDs, with no lineup changes (and wrote a bloody song called "Flying Whales" – how neat is that?). The band has toured in support of legends such as Cannibal Corpse, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, and Behemoth among others. In June of 2012, Gojira released their fifth studio album and their Roadrunner Records debut, L'Enfant Sauvage (which translates to 'The Wild Child'). This record turned out to be, easily, one of 2012's best metal releases, bending sub-genres with its unique composition and philosophical lyrics and subtext – tackling introspective dissonance on the meaning of freedom.
Monday night, January 14, 2013, marked the first evening for Gojira's2013 U.S. tour in support of the album, with opening acts The (LEGENDARY) Devin Townsend Project and Chicago's Atlas Moth. The event kicked off at Minneapolis' own Mill City Nights. The opening acts were solid, and Devin Townsend's notorious stage presence was indeed present. However, Gojira.Gojira, man.
After a grueling sound-check, anticipation ran high. A black cover was pulled off an enormous backlit set piece of L'enfantSauvage's humanoid album image, and the band immediately dove into the opening track for the album, "Explosia." Gojira is a band known for merging traditional progressive elements with a heavy technical influence, encompassing uncommon song structures, unusual time signatures, and the absence of the standard verse, course, verse structure. Between the opening track, and the second, "Flying Whales," Gojira's own stage presence, rapid choreographed stage shifts and passionate playing, reflected all of the aforementioned informalities of their music.
Throughout Gojira's set, the band performed near perfect renditions of some of their most complicated material of their latter four albums, such as From Mars To Sirius's "Backbone," and The Way of all Flesh's "The Art of Dying". Though, those who may be familiar with the details of their studio releases would not be disappointed, as at various points the band reversed familiar scales, or shifted octaves slightly. The lighting reflected the process of the arrangements, with deep blue-greens at slower points, and frantic seizure-inductive true whites flashing through heavy rhythms. During the band's fifth song, the title track of L'Enfant Sauvage, Gojira's background set piece became more visually intoxicating, projecting violent black and white images through the negative space replicating trees of neural pathways. Gojira only stumbled once through their set, during the sixth track "The Art of Dying," where a minor step-up caused them to restart the song's intro. The rest of the performance was delivered with an efficiency only often seen at the level of a professional orchestra. At one point in the set, brothers Joe and Mario traded instruments, and surprisingly with near perfection – and Mario breathed the Devil's tongue through vocals in true death metal fashion. Gojira concluded their set with "The Axe," only to come to encore with The Way of All Flesh's "Vacuity."
All in all, this was one of the strongest metal performances I have seen to date. Furthermore, one of the best sounding and well thought out of concerts I have had the pleasure to attend. Gojira, while at the pinnacle of their career thus far, will hopefully continue to revive the metal scene with their unique perspective on the genre. If you ever enjoyed any era of heavy music, Gojira, one of the leaders of contemporary metal, is a band you must hear. If the true beast set your town ablaze, you wouldn't miss it – so do not pass up a chance to see their set in the future.

Layoffs: There's a Right Way
Jul 21, 2014 6:47 AM PT
Microsoft last week announced a large staff reduction tied to the acquisition of Nokia. There is actually a science to how to make layoffs, but much of that appears to have been lost over the last couple of decades.
I have some theories as to why (I blame the Democrats and financial analysts) but how you carry out job cuts actually is very important, and it reflects how well the CEO understands people, which I think is a critical skill. In the context of Microsoft's layoffs, I'll offer a layoff primer this week.
I'll close with my product of the week, Carchex -- a critical service when buying a car. I actually had a bad experience with it, but I'll explain why I now recommend it.
When It Comes to Layoffs
Layoffs are the last resort of incompetent management except when carried out as part of a merger, acquisition or turnaround. I say that with some authority, as I spent a great deal of my education in a course of study called "Manpower Management," or the science of managing people.
Much like the science of software and hardware looks at how things interrelate to create complex structures, Manpower Management looked at how the interrelationships of people could be optimized to create far more successful companies. At the core of this effort was skill matching, and because minorities often didn't have the requisite skills due to a lack of qualified education, many of the science and practices were tossed out.
In the U.S., this resulted from adoption of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, which was one of the most stupid political efforts I've ever seen, largely because it focused on the symptoms and not the cause -- education inequality.
CEOs are evaluated by quarterly financial performance, which forces the ones working at public companies to use layoffs as a tactic for immediately enhancing the bottom line, to get both a figurative pat on the back and a substantial monetary reward for the practice. I've become a bigger fan of private companies as a result.
Layoffs are potential company killers, largely because they aren't done surgically. That means you are far more likely to lose a critical resource, become unviable as a company and experience long-term damage. Here's a look at some examples.
IBM's Story
Louis Gerstner, long credited with turning IBM around, actually handled the big layoff right. The rule is you cut sharply, you cut deep, and that immediately puts the company back in growth mode. That focuses people back on the job, and the method he used was foundational to the success of his effort.
However, one of the biggest revenue generators for IBM at the time was the AS400 -- a mid-range computer that was carrying much of the hardware revenue load. The layoff removed people critical to manufacturing the product, and the lines shut down. That forced a panicked rehiring of some pretty pissed-off people.
Even though Gerstner generally is held up as an example of how to make cuts the right way, the nonsurgical nature of the effort nearly pushed IBM over the edge.
The HP Fiasco
Carly Fiorina is probably the standing example of how not to make layoffs. She was the CEO hired by HP to "shake the company up," and she did that. However, she clearly had no clue when it came to layoffs -- instead of cutting once deeply and moving on, she carried out lots of layoffs.
She actually had a decent vision for the firm, but by turning so often to layoffs, she lost the loyalty of the employees, and HP entered what appeared to be a death spiral. Ironically, she was replaced by Mark Hurd, whose performance actually was worse -- and he didn't have the vision part.
Carly ran for office in the same state that HP is headquartered in and lost the election by a number that was very similar to the number of folks who had grown to hate her at HP. Hurd actually had his tires slashed at his prior job for similar behavior. Both CEOs were fired for different reasons, but the lack of employee loyalty likely contributed somewhat to their eventual outcomes.
The Problems With Layoffs - Particularly Bad Ones
There really is very little good about a layoff from the standpoint of the employees. However, some can be far worse than others. Bad layoffs tend to alienate the employees and can push the company into a death spiral.
They are very disruptive -- particularly if they take a long time to execute -- because a large percentage of the firm is focused on finding a new job, and likely not that happy with the company, while still being employed to accomplish a task.
Those employees have little loyalty to the company that is letting them go, and many are anticipating dire financial straits. They have a tendency to complain about how they are being treated -- but even if they don't, they'll make the employees who are staying uncomfortable.
A lot of intellectual property leaks and thefts happen during a layoff, and there is a high probability that one or more of the unhappy employees will get violent, come to work intoxicated, or do something really stupid that damages the company. This is why the best practice remains to cut deep and fast so the pain is minimized.
Wrapping Up: Microsoft's Layoffs, and Whether to Stay or Go
How a company makes layoffs tells you a lot about how good its senior managers are, and whether they care about their people. CEOs who make lots of layoffs -- particularly those who flaunt their personal wealth at the same time -- are company killers, and you would be better served working someplace else.
As far as Microsoft goes, I've been impressed so far with Nadella's execution. While this layoff isn't as crisp as I'd like it to be, he does have to work through tough European regulations, and there will have to be a shutdown process for manufacturing, which can add substantially to the time this takes.
Nadella's history at Microsoft has been strong, and his employees both seem to respect him and like working for him. If I were at Microsoft, I'd likely stay -- but my view from outside probably isn't the same as that of anyone inside, and it is the inside view that is more important.
Product of the Week: Carchex
Now it isn't often I recommend a product after having a bad experience with it; in fact, I think this is the first time, so I'd better explain.
I made a risky car purchase earlier this month, and because it was a remote, I relied on three services: CarGurus to identify the car; CarFax to run an initial report; and Carchex to physically check on the car.
CarGurus didn't identify the car as salvage but did flag it as risky. CarFax did identify it as a salvage car (a car that has been totaled by an insurance company) but CarFax didn't specify the full extent of the damage -- or more important, what actually was fixed (the configuration I was looking for was rare). That made Carchex, which sends out a mechanic, critical.
I got a bad mechanic -- I'm pretty sure he was blind -- and the end result was that I paid more for the car than I otherwise would have. I'm always curious why something happens, though, and I spent time with the CEO of Carchex to get an understanding the process it uses and understand its exposure.
The service subcontracts mechanics to get nationwide coverage. That means that from time to time, it will get a lemon, but I now know how to protect against that. Given that the service is really reasonable (less than US$200), it is more than worth it if done right. If you know what to look for, you can tell whether someone did the job properly or not. If the mechanic didn't -- and if Carchex doesn't catch it (the company now has a much stronger process to do that) -- you can call, and it will send someone else.
So here is the trick: If you get a report that doesn't have comments and where you can't tell detail from the pictures, then someone phoned it in, and you should alert Carchex. A typical report has lots of detailed pictures and comments on most every page.
With that caveat, for anyone who buys cars out of state or out of the area, a service like Carchex is invaluable, and that's why it's my product of the week. Despite my own initial experience, based on the follow-up, I actually both recommend and will use the service again.
Sometimes how a company handles a problem defines it better than whether it has a problem in the first place. Rather than yelling at me, Carchex focused on making my experience unique -- and that, my friends, is a customer support best practice.

Heat and Mass Transfer in Reactive Multilayer Systems (RMS)M. Rühl[1], G. Dietrich[2], E. Pflug[1], S. Braun[2], A. Leson[2]
[1]TU Dresden, Laser and Surface Technology, Dresden, Germany
[2]IWS Dresden, Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology, Dresden, Germany
Established joining techniques like welding, soldering or brazing typically are characterized by a large amount of heat load of the components. Especially in the case of heat sensitive structures like MEMS this often results in stress induced deformation and degradation or even damaging of the parts. A back door of this problem are Reactive Multilayer Systems (RMS). These foils consist of several hundred to thousand of alternating periodical reactive materials, e.g. Al-Ni. After a suitable ignition these layers can react exothermically, atomic diffusion in z-direction (figure1) with each other. Thus a termal wave in x-direction is generated and self propagation front is formed. A two dimensional model was generated using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5a atomic diffusion and heat equation are coupled.
