This question is about the Jacobian conjecture for a special case. I will first explain the Jacobian conjecture (since it is something every mathematician should know about).
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field.
Consider a map $$F: k^n \rightarrow k^n,$$ defined by $$F(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=(f_1(x_1,\ldots,x_n),\ldots,f_n(x_1,\ldots,x_n)),$$ where $f_1,\ldots,f_n$ are polynomials.
The Jacobian of $F$, which I denote $J$, is the determinant of the matrix $dF$ where the $(i,j)$-th entry of $dF$ is $\partial f_i/\partial x_j$. (The matrix $dF$ gives the induced map on the tangent bundle, or maybe it's the cotangent bundle; it doesn't matter for this question.)
Since $F$ is given by polynomials, the entries of $dF$ are polynomials and $J$ is a polynomial. Hence $F$ is a nonsingular map if and only if $J$ is a constant.
The inverse function theorem tells us that $F$ has a smooth inverse map if and only if $J$ is constant. The Jacobian conjecture says that this smooth map is in fact also given by polynomials (in the case where the original map $F$ is given by polynomials).
Question: I would like to know if the Jacobian conjecture is known (or trivial) for the special case where the matrix $dF$ is a triangular matrix with $1$'s on the diagonal. If it is not known, I would like to know if the full Jacobian conjecture is known to be equivalent to this special case.
Motivation: This is a possible strategy for proving that a particular family of maps I have constructed for a particular purpose is in fact invertible within the category of affine algebraic varieties.
EDIT: Clarifying in light of Tom's remark. The inverse function theorem just says that $F$ has a local inverse. The Jacobian conjecture is that $F$ has a global inverse which is given by polynomials.

There's a free dinner riding on this... is it:

There's a free dinner riding on this... is it:

b) "Ico" (PS2) pronounced "eye-ko" or "eeko"?

"The big things that...nerds like to argue about might not actually matter that much."
I believe its echo and eye ko
I agree - echo and eye ko
Same here. ECHO and EYE KO.
Here's another one for ya.
How do you pronounce "IKARI"?
ICK-A-RYE, ICK-A-REE, or EYE-KAR-EE?
The latter...
| Way of the Rodent | Mayhem64 | Bordersdown |
echo for the first one - i know this for a fact cause of the commercials that used to be on TV for these games
eye-ko for the second one (just a guess really)
and i say ikari just like you say atari (ick-a-ree)
I would say:
ih - kar - ee
I've heard a lot of people say the ICO is SUPPOSED to be EE-Coh

I say MINE-OHZ
I say HER-ZOG SHWHY
Correct pronunciation for
Herzog Zwei: it's german, so it would be "Hairtz-og Zv-eye" (for instance, listen to the Rammstein song "Mein Herz Brennt". The way they pronounce "Herz" is the way the first part of Herzog should be pronounced.)
Ecco: pronounced like Echo. In neither Japan nor the Us would a word spelled in that manner be pronouned with a long "EE" sound.
Ico: In japan, it would be pronounced "EE-co". Here, I suppose you could decide for yourself, as, in English, the word would be pronounced "EYE-co".
Ikari: EE-car-EE (at least in any Asian dialect). The word certainly seems. to be of Asian origin. If it were a US word, it would most likely be pronounced as "ICK-AR-EE".
Mine of Minos: I pronounce it "MEE-NOSE", but I'd say that's a matter of personal preference.
(note: I speak marginally fluent german, and a little Japanese. Three years of the former, one of the latter under my belt. You know, just as some "credentials" for where this info is coming from. Also, I'm an English major, so I pretty much know how the english language works, as far as Ecco goes.)
I'm going against the grain on "I-ka-rye"
According to people here, it appears I am wrong but thats just how I have always said it.
echo and eye-ko
so who won the bet
Of course we could ask Sean and John since it's their company :)

I always thought Ecco was a no-brainer, and a play on words.. I mean, come ON! It's a dolphin came, and how do dolphins communicate/find their way around? Sonar, or ECHO LOCATION!
So here's another one. Is "Chrono" pronounced krown-o, or kron-o? I hear both all the time.
Yeah, that was my reasoning behind "Ecco". The other guy thought it'd be "Eco" for ecology, ecosystem, etc. However, we still disagree on "Ico" due to the dual-pronunciation thing. Just wondering...
"The big things that...nerds like to argue about might not actually matter that much."
here's one that i am curious about. how do you pronounce eproms? i have never heard any one say it in person, only typed.
Of course it's "crow-no". It's an actual word! Check the dictionary (prefix meaning time).
EPROM should, technically, be pronounced E-P-R-O-M, as it is an acronym. However, many people pronounce it "EEP-ROM". Similarly, I have heard EEPROM pronounced as "E-EEP-ROM".

Thoughts on Thought Leadership
08 January 2011
One of my New Year's Resolutions is to think differently. It's a vague notion and I don't want to use hackneyed phrases like "out of the box" so I started considering the term "thought leadership" and how everyone strives to be a thought leader. According to Wikipedia, thought leader is business jargon for an entity that is recognized for having innovative ideas. The term apparently was coined in 1994 by Joel Kurtzman, editor-in-chief of the Booz, Allen & Hamilton magazine "Strategy & Business." "Thought leader" was used to designate interview subjects who had business ideas that merited attention.
Wikipedia also reports that "According to commentators such as Elise Bauer, a distinguishing characteristic of a thought leader is 'the recognition from the outside world that the company deeply understands its business, the needs of its customers, and the broader marketplace in which it operates.'" Isn't this just basic hygiene for any organization?
LinkedIn has a relatively short section on thought leadership dating back to 2007. And there are countless other definitions, essentials and how-to's when one does a search online. But it seems to be that thought leadership is one of the most mis-understood and confused terms in business.
I tend to think of thought leadership as being first to market with a truly different thought, owning the idea and then merchandising it. How does one get there? Sometimes thought leadership comes about from attacking and solving a challenging problem, but more often than not, it comes through reflection and identifying patterns and/or anticipating trends with a completely new idea or a new way of doing something. It has to be authentic and of substance – not gimmicky or superficial. And in today's market, a thought leader has to be very quick indeed to call it out and own it.
Interested in others' views on the subject of thought leadership.

The Women Who Met Jesus
How could a man who had no wife, no children, no home, no job, no money, and wandered the hills of Judea with twelve men relate to women of his time, much less women in the 21st century?
That's the question that led author, Dorothy Valcárcel, to search for biblical women whose lives intersected with Jesus. As she explored the lives of every woman Jesus met, she discovered that they faced many of the same challenges women encounter today.

Cities weigh cost of TREE-age pesticide to control emerald ash borer; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, officials estimate treatment cost at US$0.95M/year compared with US$27M to remove city's 33,000 ash trees
January 6, 2014
(Associated Press)
– A decade ago, foresters feared an invasive Chinese beetle would spell doom for American ash trees. But a counterpunch emerged in the form of a powerful pesticide that can not only save infested trees but inoculate them against the emerald ash borer.
Milwaukee has been using the chemical for four years without losing one tree to the bug, but the pesticide must be reapplied every few years, creating a quandary for cash-conscious city councils.
Municipal officials on the edges of the ash borer's ever-expanding range face a choice: Cut down their ash trees and replace them with other species — a large one-time expense — or commit to spending lesser sums on pesticide treatments, perhaps for years. Their decisions can affect everything from property values to storm water retention.
"There's no reason for a landscape tree to die now if someone is willing to put some money into it," said Deb McCullough, a Michigan State University forest entomology professor who helped test the pesticide before it went on the market. "(But) some cities have a tough time allocating money from a municipal budget to protect trees when they're trying to keep firemen and policemen on the job."
The emerald ash borer's larvae kill ash trees by consuming the trees' nutrient transport tissues. The beetle has spread to 21 states as well as Quebec and Ontario since it was discovered near Detroit in 2002, leaving tens of millions of dead trees in its wake.
In the early years of the infestation, most cities with the pest dealt with it by cutting down all their ash trees, even healthy ones. Municipal leaders feared the beetle would kill so many trees so quickly that cutting crews wouldn't be able to remove the husks before they toppled and caused damage.
The game shifted in 2008, though, when federal regulators approved a pesticide called TREE-age for use against the beetle. A 2009 report from the North Central Integrated Pest Management Center, a network of researchers that advises the federal government on pest control, said the pesticide can save infested trees if applied early enough, as well as inoculate trees against the beetle for at least two years. Other ash borer pesticides have to be applied annually and have produced inconsistent results, according to the report.
Milwaukee and Chicago have been using the pesticide since 2009, committing millions of dollars to the effort over the years.
Officials in both cities said treatment allows them to replace ash trees with other species on their own schedule and said the approach is cheaper than taking down all the trees at once. Milwaukee, for example, spends about $950,000 a year on treatment versus the $27 million it would have cost to remove the city's 33,000 street ash trees. Meanwhile, residents continue enjoying the trees' benefits, such as shade, sucking up storm water runoff and boosting property values.
"We're totally in the driver's seat, which is the envy of most communities that have (the ash borer)," David Sivyer, the city's forestry services manager, said.
City officials in Madison, where the bug was confirmed in November, have implemented a hybrid plan that calls for cutting down trees in poor condition and treating larger trees. That decision is expected to cost as much as $1.1 million dollars annually by 2019.
About 150 cities and towns are currently using the pesticide, said Leah Hancock, product marketing manager for Arborjet, which produces TREE-age. But others are wary of committing dollars over the long term.
City officials in Minneapolis, where the beetle was discovered in 2010, have proposed a plan calling for a new $1.1 million tax levy every year for eight years to remove 40,000 ash trees and replanting different species. The city's park board in December approved the first year of the levy.
City leaders in La Crosse have been grappling with the beetle since 2012. They've decided to pull out their 6,000 public ash trees and replant new species. They anticipate the effort will cost about $2 million over four years. That compares with an estimated $1.8 million to treat all 6,000 trees over six years, said Cinthia Johnson, the city's parks and forestry coordinator.
"EAB is going to be in our community longer than six years," she said. "You're looking at another six years and another six years. With the removal and replacement over four years, we're done."
Foresters discovered the emerald ash borer in Boulder, Colo., in September, marking the bug's farthest progress west. City Forester Kathleen Alexander said Boulder is trying to determine the extent of the infestation. Then the city will have to make some hard decisions about whether to treat trees, remove them or both, she said.
"Unfortunately," she said, "it's expensive any way you look at it."

ILULISSAT, Greenland - It's so cold, they closed the igloos. The icebergs are shivering. Two of my toes are slightly frostbitten. Yesterday my life seriously flashed before my eyes on a dogsled ride through the mountains.
But what a trip. What a place.
Exhilarating, that's the word.
Close your eyes and hear the sounds of Ilulissat (e-LU-li-sat). The creak of the sleds rushing across the crisp snow. The crackle of the ice breaking up against the wooden prow of tiny fishing boats in Disko Bay. The ravens - odd birds to see way up here above the Arctic Circle - flapping their black wings atop the icebergs like dots of licorice on vanilla ice cream.
From the moment you leave Reykjavik, Iceland, in a rugged propeller plane for a three-hour ride to Ilulissat to the moment you pack up your frozen little body and leave, you are in another world.
And if you are willing to come to Greenland in winter (my late February trip was called "Winter Madness" with good reason), it's very affordable.
Almost all tourists to Greenland come from Denmark, followed by small numbers of Germans, Swedes and a tiny number from the U.S. Just 429 Americans stayed overnight in Ilulissat last year.
Why so few? First, it's hard to get here from the U.S.
Second, humble Greenland gets overlooked in favor of trendy Antarctica.
Third, people tend to think of Greenland as one big, empty, melting block of ice. Wrong. Greenland is part of the Danish Kingdom and is bigger than Alaska. Most of its 57,000 people live in isolated towns along the rocky shoreline near the miles-deep ice cap. They have cars. They have schools. They have dogs. They have a life.
Ilulissat, Greenland's most lyrical town, has just 4,606 people and 2,300 sled dogs. Most people here are Inuit or Danish, a melding of people that yields a unique and sturdy culture of fishing, shrimping, tourism and doggy paw prints.
What makes this place a star and a UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage site is the Sermeq Kujalleq (or Jakobshavn, in Danish ) Glacier, the most active glacier outside Antarctica. Towering icebergs dot Disko Bay as the glacier sends tons of ice down the Ilulissat Icefjord into the bay each day. You don't have to be on a boat to see the icebergs, either. You can see them from your hotel room window. Or your table at lunch over a plate of fresh halibut. Or while walking in town near the Lutheran church.
This tiny town's zillion-dollar views are so stunning that a few years ago, some huge cruise ships included Ilulissat on their summer port stops, overwhelming the town.
"Five years ago, 63 cruises stopped here. It was too much," says Silverio Scivoli, owner of Tourist Nature, which runs local tours. "We were not set up for that. Now we get just five, and the biggest one has 800 people."
Visiting Greenland in the winter means you won't encounter many other tourists, and certainly no cruise ships. I never met another American.
The first day, I spent with six tourists motoring in a small wooden boat in Disko Bay, where we saw the icebergs up close. The icebergs' aloof and menacing grandeur dwarfed tiny fishing and seal-hunting boats nearby, not to mention us. By turns, the tourists crammed into the tiny warm cabin to sip tea, hobnob with the captain, then launch themselves back out into the beauty of the bitter cold.
Afterward, one of my toes seemed slightly frostbitten and tingly. Later, the ice in the bay got so thick that no more tourist or fishing boats could go out.
The second day, I took a two-hour (here, they call it a sledge) dogsled ride through the mountains, wearing a warm sealskin parka and leggings provided by the tour company. Greenland dogs and sleds are everywhere in Ilulissat, and the drivers are experts, so I was only mildly panicked when my sled at one point was tipped over the edge of a cliff with the dogs behind me scrabbling backward to keep the sled from plummeting headlong to our certain death.
You know that scene where the Grinch's sled teeters on top of the precipice? Crrk . crrk . crrk . down, down, down . Luckily, the dog team's strength held out until we reached a gentle slope below. I was fine, absolutely fine. And after about three days, my toes defrosted, too.
Before I went to Greenland, people kept asking, are you going to stay in an igloo? And at the Arctic Hotel in Ilulissat, you can stay in one. Just not in February.
The hotel's five igloos are beyond the place where I stayed, down a long boardwalk, past the sled dogs, near the shoreline. Made of shiny silver aluminum and looking like space pods, they are so hip that Prince Albert II of Monaco and singer Bjork have stayed in them. But they're used only from May to September.
"Now is too cold for the igloos," a hotel clerk explained, not grasping that this fact might be considered quite astonishing for people back in Michigan.
And I do have to mention the food. The restaurants here serve Greenlandic specialties, and I had fresh halibut three times and a very fine lamb soup. No complaints. I also enjoyed a walking tour of Ilulissat with a local guide who pointed out all the sights, plus the fitness studio where she takes Zumba classes.
You may notice I have not yet mentioned global warming, which has been the major theme of every hand-wringing travel story about Greenland in the last few years. In my defense, let's just say that it is hard to whip up a lot of interest in the topic when you're wearing five layers of clothes, the temperature falls to minus 19 degrees Fahrenheit and you're freezing your eyebrows off.
And what about the northern lights? Well, I did go outside on two clear nights to look for the aurora borealis, which can easily be seen from September to April here in Ilulissat, 180 miles above the Arctic Circle. You just look north past the sled dogs and silver igloos, and there you are. But nature had other plans, for a full moon was hanging up above, shining like a winter midnight sun, blocking any other solar shows.
OK. So I stood outside in the sharp cold, listening to my jagged breath, wiggling my toes, hoping for a flash of green. Then I thought of my dad, who died last fall. I bet he'd have loved this place. I waved at the sky.
Besides the famed icebergs of Ilulissat, you'll notice:
-No trees! The land is bedrock and ice. In summer, you'll see wildflowers, sedges and small bushes.
-Lots of cars and taxis - but not a single road out of town.
-Traffic warning signs for sled crossings. Monument and a museum honoring Knud Rasmussen, a Danish-Inuit native son and famed polar explorer.
-Small wooden boats breaking through ice on Disko Bay. These old Danish boats seem to be able to function well in the harsh conditions when more modern boats would crack.
-An Arctic cemetery near the airport, where everything is white, even the crosses
-Lots of sealskin. With seal hunting banned in the United States since 1971 (except for Alaska native people), this is unfamiliar to most Americans. Greenland allows traditional subsistence seal hunting. The warm parka and leggings you're given for dogsled rides are sealskin. The seats at the airport are upholstered with sealskin. The hotel has sealskin lobby decorations. Shops sell sealskin purses and hats. The U.S. prohibits their import, so don't buy seal souvenirs.
GETTING THERE: There's a small window - mid-February to April - when you can visit Ilulissat in winter. Air service is spotty or nonexistent in the coldest parts of the year. I flew five hours on Icelandair from Boston to Reykjavik, Iceland, then transferred to the city airport, then flew three hours in an Air Iceland Dash eight-propeller plane to Ilulissat.
Icelandair flies between seven U.S. cities and Reykjavik (( http://www.icelandair.com ).
THE TRIP: I traveled alone on a "Winter Madness" tour arranged by Great Canadian Travel. It included three nights in Ilulissat, three nights in Reykjavik, hotels, transfers and flights between Iceland and Greenland. Including the flight from Boston, the total cost was $3,376 plus a few hundred dollars for food and tours. The company also offers many trips and cruises in summer to Greenland (( http://www.greatcanadiantravel.com, 800-661-3830).
Continental Journeys offers winter and summer trips, including "The Best of Ilulissat in Winter" and a three-day dogsled trip (( http://www.continentaljourneys.com, 800-601-4343).
5 Stars of Scandinavia offers winter and summer trips, including "Winter Image of Ilulissat" (( http://www.5stars-scandinavia.com, 800-722-4126).
Adventure Life offers small cruises of Arctic Canada and Greenland (( http://www.adventure-life.com, 800-344-6118).
You also could book your own airfare and hotels and go on your own. For more on planning a trip to Greenland, see http://www.greenland.com and http://www.ilulissaticefjord.com
PACKING: Good winter gear is a must. You'll need snow pants, a parka, ski gloves, hand warmers and especially a balaclava that can cover your face in extreme cold.

Data: Terminology
Sea ice is described by the area it covers, its thickness, its age, and its movement with the winds and ocean currents. The Sea Ice Index data products that NSIDC distributes provide information about several sea ice characteristics. Here, we define several key characteristics that are of interest to scientists studying sea ice.
When scientists study sea ice using remote sensing data, they typically describe data in terms of gridded fields. This means the data are provided in pixels, or discrete cells, of a certain shape and size. Most of NSIDC's gridded sea ice data consist of fields of square cells that are 25.0 kilometers (15.5 miles) on a side, or covering an area of 625.0 square kilometers each (241.3 square miles). Scientists can calculate different quantities from these gridded fields.
When we use this term, we mean the region covered by sea ice, typically given in square kilometers. For a grid cell, it is the area of the portion of the cell covered by ice. For an entire hemisphere, it is the total area covered by ice, which corresponds to sum of the area of each cell multiplied by the fractional concentration for that cell.
Concentration is a unitless term that describes the relative amount of area covered by ice, compared to some reference area. Thus, concentration describes how much of a 25.0 kilometer by 25.0 kilometer (15.5 mile by 15.5 mile) box is covered by sea ice. Ice concentration typically is reported as a percentage (0 to 100 percent ice), a fraction from 0 to 1, or sometimes in tenths (0/10 to 10/10). Our Sea Ice Index products show ice concentration as a percentage. A value of 0 means there is no ice, while a value of 100 means the region is completely covered by ice.
Extent defines a region as either "ice-covered" or "not ice-covered." For each data cell, it is a binary term; either the cell has ice (usually a value of "1") or the cell has no ice (usually a value of "0"). A threshold determines this labeling. A typical threshold is 15 percent, meaning that if the data cell has greater than 15 percent ice concentration, the cell is labeled as "ice-covered." The Sea Ice Index products have a threshold of 15 percent. A threshold can also be as high as 30 percent.
Extent is sometimes described in terms of area (in square kilometers) covered by at least some ice (above the threshold). Extent is different from the total area in that if a given region has a percentage of ice concentration greater than the threshold, the entire region is considered "ice-covered." Total area tells how much of the region is actually covered by ice. Arctic- or antarctic-wide sea ice extent is always a larger number than area.
Anomaly data fields measure the difference between the sea ice value (area, extent, or concentration) at a given time and the long-term average. So an anomaly tells us how close to average the area, extent, or concentration are in a given month. Anomalies have positive values where there is more ice than average and negative values where there is less ice than average. Area and extent anomalies are reported in square kilometers, and concentration anomalies are given in percentages (-100 to +100 percent, or a fraction, -1 to +1.) The anomaly fields have the same units as their corresponding fields. For example, area and extent anomalies are in units of square kilometers, and concentration anomalies are in percents (-100 to +100) or fractions (-1 to +1).
The time period for the long-term average used in the Sea Ice Index is 1981 to 2010. Thirty years is considered a standard baseline period for weather and climate, and the satellite record is now long enough to provide a thirty year baseline period.
Comparisons Among Area, Concentration, and Extent
The diagram and table below illustrate the definitions of area, concentration, and extent. For easier representation, each square grid cell is 8.0 kilometers (5.0 miles) on a side, for a total of 64.0 square kilometers (24.7 square miles). In A, there is no ice. In B, one fourth of the cell is covered by ice. In C, one half is covered by ice, and in D, the entire cell is covered by ice. To simplify calculations, a hypothetical threshold of 30 percent for sea ice extent is used in this example. This means that areas with less than 30 percent sea ice coverage are considered "ice-free," and areas with more than 30 percent sea ice coverage are considered "ice-covered." It is important to emphasize that this example is hypothetical, and in practice, thresholds are typically somewhat lower, ranging from 15 to 20 percent.

|+16.0 km2
(6.2 mi2)
|Concentration anomaly (%)
Average concentration is 48 km2/64 km2 = 75%
|-25 %
|+25 %
For example, one-fourth of cell B is covered by ice, so the ice-covered area is 16 square kilometers and the ice concentration is 25 percent or 0.25. The concentration value is less than the extent threshold, so the cell is designated "not ice-covered" with an extent value of "0." The area is 32 square kilometers below average, so the area shows a negative anomaly (16 - 48 = -32 square kilometers). The concentration also shows a negative anomaly (25 - 75 = -50 percent).

On August 16, 2011, Mount Saint Mary College lost one of its finest teachers, scholars and colleagues. Dr. Virginia Davidson, known to most of us as simply Ginny, devoted twenty-five years to the Mount and its students, and her keen intelligence, boundless energy, generous spirit, and dedication to excellence are sorely missed.
For many of her students, Ginny will probably be best remembered for imparting her passion for good writing, for literature, for language itself. Thanks to her, the Mount is possibly the only college in America that can boast such a large body of alumni capable of reciting Chaucer—in Middle English.
Never one to consider her job done upon leaving the classroom, Ginny's office seemed always filled with students, where they not only received sound academic advice but also genuine concern for their well-being and happiness. She seamlessly blended the roles of teacher, mentor, taskmaster, counselor, and surrogate mother.
Dr. Virginia Davidson truly personified the Mount's image as a close, caring community. As a college community we are grateful for all the gifts Ginny shared with us: her total lack of pretense, her infectious laughter, her sheer joy in life, her concern for social justice, and, above all, her determination to make this college the best it can be for our students.
During this holiday season, when the spirit of gratitude is so strongly felt, we find it only fitting that we do our best to show our gratitude for a woman so totally committed to Mount Saint Mary College. Those who knew Ginny best, her family, are working to establish a scholarship in her name to be awarded annually to a student who demonstrates Ginny's own passion for writing and literature. Friends, colleagues and alumni have chosen to honor Ginny's memory with donations ranging from $25 to $1,000 toward The Virginia Davidson Memorial Scholarship for Excellence in English.
We are hoping that you will join us and contribute to our efforts to keep Ginny's legacy alive for future generations of deserving students.
James Beard
Professor Emeritus of Communication Arts
For those of you interested in contributing in Ginny's memory, please make your checks payable to Mount Saint Mary College, and write "Virginia Davidson Memorial Scholarship" in the memo line. Checks should be sent to the Office of College Advancement at Mount Saint Mary College, 330 Powell Avenue, Newburgh, NY 12550.
You can also choose to make an online gift to the Virginia Davidson Memorial Scholarship Fund.

SMITHFIELD, RHODE ISLAND, USA – December 15, 2009 – Mergers and acquisitions are commonplace today. As competitors come together to expand their reach globally or complete a product portfolio they also must face integration challenges, including the integration of safety programs.
A new free, white paper from Howard Leight titled, "Best Practices in a Hearing Conservation Program: US Airways," details how the merger between US Airways and America West led the newly formed company to enhance its occupational Hearing Conservation Program. It is available to download at http://www.hearforever.org/usairways.
The white paper examines how, in the time since America West merged with US Airways to become the number four carrier in the United States, the new US Airways endeavored to consolidate and enhance its corporate safety program — and specifically its Hearing Conservation Program.
The white paper identifies and discusses the best practices of an occupational Hearing Conservation Program including:
"The program was developed by combining the strongest and most effective elements of each of the two original airlines' programs. The result is a lesson in best practices management," said Renee S. Bessette, COHC, Marketing Manager, Howard Leight/Sperian Hearing Protection, LLC.
"All workers have a role in making a Hearing Conservation Program successful. By educating employees about noise-induced hearing loss, hearing safety and hearing protection devices, and by making the knowledge regarding the program and its components accessible, the company is able to not only strengthen its Hearing Conservation Program but improve overall personal safety awareness in the workplace as well," she said.

SANDY, Utah — D.C. United countered Real Salt Lake's penalty kick with a late goal of their own from the spot as they played to a 1-1 draw at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night.
Second-half sub Charlie Davies ended up being the difference, converting his spot kick after being dragged down in the box in the 83rd minute by Chris Wingert.
DC were the aggressors early on, controlling much of the possession through the first 20 minutes and created a couple of chances in the process.
The first came in the 18th minute when a diagonal ball was delivered to Andy Najar, who appeared to have space in front of him, but RSL defender Jámison Olave came in with a well-timed sliding challenge that halted the opportunity.
A few minutes later it was Real Salt Lake's turn to put the fans on the edge of their seats. Collen Warner broke free down the right side and delivered a low cross that just missed the outstretched foot of the onward rushing Jean Alexandre. The ball went through the goalmouth and was collected by Andy Williams, but his shot attempt went directly into the torso of the well-positioned Bill Hamid in the United net.
Midway through the half, RSL started to take the edge of possession, creating additional chances in the process. They hit payday in the 38th minute, when pressure just inside the penalty area led to a call on Clyde Simms for handling the ball. Fabián Espíndola stepped up to the spot and pushed it the opposite direction of the diving Hamid and into the net.
DC head coach Ben Olsen brought Dax McCarty on after haltime in favor of Simms to bring a stronger attacking mind set into the midfield in an effort to find the equalizer. That nearly came just a few minutes into the second stanza when Chris Pontius launched a shot from outside the 18-yard box that struck the crossbar.
Real Salt Lake countered immediately with a nice flick-on from Ned Grabavoy to Warner with a run into space near the penalty area. However, Warner ended up with a low angle shot that Hamid easily deflected.
Just after the 80th minute it appeared that the game was headed to a 1-0 result, but United found a counterattack opportunity in the 83rd after an RSL set piece. Davies and Fred led the breakout chance, with three defenders struggling to keep pace.
Defender Wingert ended up taking Davies down in the box, and the US international converted the ensuing penalty to bring the score level at one. The strike was Davies' seventh of the season and first since May 4.
DC got one last chance in the dying minutes as Pontius again hit the crossbar, but United earned their point at Rio Tinto.
With the draw, Real Salt Lake move to 6-3-4 and are now winless in three straight. They next travel to Chicago on June 22. D.C. United, meanwhile, move to 4-5-5; they host Houston on June 25.
Scoring Summary:
RSL -- Fabian Espindola 4 (penalty kick) 38
DC -- Charlie Davies 7 (penalty kick) 85
DC -- Blake Brettschneider (caution; Tactical Foul) 65
D.C. United -- Bill Hamid, Jed Zayner, Perry Kitchen, Ethan White, Daniel Woolard, Andy Najar, Stephen King (Fred 78), Clyde Simms (Dax McCarty 46), Chris Pontius, Blake Brettschneider, Josh Wolff (Charlie Davies 62).
Real Salt Lake -- Nick Rimando, Tony Beltran, Jamison Olave, Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert (Robbie Russell 86), Andy Williams, Kyle Beckerman, Collen Warner (Will Johnson 66), Ned Grabavoy, Jean Alexandre, Fabian Espindola (Artur Aghasyan 83).

If you haven't watched this week's Glee, abandon this URL immédiatement! Everyone else, keep on reading and let's get this discussion percolatin'!
Please forgive any typos or errors in this week's Glee recap. "Allergies" seem to be making my eyes all watery, and no amount of dabbing is stopping this unfortunate display of "waterworks."
Okay, okay…I 'fess up! "The Break Up," the fourth episode of Season 4, left me shattered. A wreck. Depressed. Despondent. With a mean case of the blues. Positively cream-crackered. But — I have to add — in the best possible way.
RELATED | Exclusive: Glee Boss Previews 'Break-Up' Fallout, Promises 'Nothing Is Set in Stone' – Plus: Cory Monteith 'Sad and Nostalgic' in Episode's Wake
Sure, it wasn't easy watching the show's four central couples get pulled apart at the seams by infidelity, distance, changing life goals, expectations of obedient puppydom, and occasional indifference (nobody said it would be). But life and — let's be honest — good television are often as much about heartache and hard choices as they are about happiness and good fortune. (And oh, those flashback scenes! THOSE FLASHBACK SCENES, I SAY!)
But let me back up for a moment. In case you were too busy reading up on "The Blue Ribbon Panel to Improve Arts Education," here's what you missed on Glee. (For the record, I'm going to try to give the rundown on what happened with each couple in five sentences or less — then weigh in on how successful/realistic the action actually was.)
RACHEL AND FINN | The morning after Finn's arrival interrupted Rachel and Brody's first kiss, Finn revealed he'd been semi-honorably discharged from the army for shooting himself in the thigh, but then avoided contacting Rachel because he felt like a "Lima loser" with no direction in life. Rachel brought Finn to all her NYADA classes in an effort to inspire him with a new direction, and then to the piano bar Callbacks for karaoke night, but things got tense when Finn declined to sing and encouraged Rachel to duet with Brody on a Demi Lovato song (nice X Factor cross-promotional synergy there). On the way home, Rachel finally admitted she and Brody had kissed — just once! — and the next morning, Finn fled the apartment and headed back to Ohio, without so much as a goodbye to the girlfriend he'd abandoned for the previous four months. Rachel hopped a plane and hunted him down, and after revealing how she'd hated him for giving her her wings in the Season 3 finale, she'd eventually realized, "This is what a man looks like. This is how a man loves." Despite that, his lack of communication and all-around aimlessness made Rachel realize they couldn't be together, at least for now.
Personally, I bought everything about this breakup — from Finn's devastation that Rachel kissed another guy in the process of finding herself, to Rachel admitting that after four months with no communication, she'd taken it as a hint to move on. (The only thing I didn't buy was Brody lurking behind the New Directions' table during Blaine's tearful "Teenage Dream." Get a clue, dude!) Whether or not these two crazy kids are destined to be together, it's clear that Finn is in no position to make anyone else happy — let alone himself — till he figures out what he wants to do with his life. It was sweet that Rachel tried to help her man find a plan in NYC, but self-discovery isn't about fitting into someone else's dream. It's about defining your own. And if Rachel is still available once Finn conquers his insecurities — can we acknowledge that good, successful people can be found anywhere…even in Lima?! — maybe they'll still have a shot. As Rachel so devastatingly put it, "You are my first love, and I want more than anything for you to be my last love, but I can't do this anymore. We're done." Correct!
KURT AND BLAINE | Blaine continued to feel ignored as Kurt explored his fabulous new life in NYC, and who could blame him when his "I love you" was met with a stinging dialtone? The erstwhile Warbler found distraction by flirtatiously text-messaging with a guy named "Eli C," and then suddenly arrived in NYC for a suprise visit, where he gave an awkwardly mournful rendition of "Teenage Dream" at Callbacks. (Kurt's response — "You're so emotional and weirdly sad — please stop pretending there's nothing wrong" — was pitch perfect.) Blaine eventually admitted he'd strayed — "It didn't mean anything. It was just a hookup, okay?" he cried. "I was lonely and I'm really sorry." — leaving Kurt feeling like he was "gonna die." Mr. Hummel, though, got in "to the left, to the left" mode, tossing Blaine's "forgive me" note into the trash when a bouquet of flowers landed on his desk at work.
Again, this trip to Splitsville seemed very well-handled, and realistically telegraphed. Blaine is a nice, bowtie-wearing prepster, sure, but he's also a randy high-school senior who was getting almost entirely ignored by a boyfriend who'd fled their small-town life and wasn't making any long-term plans to come back. What's more, as we saw last season in his flirtation with Sebastian, Mr. Anderson hasn't always had a one-track eye (even if he isn't always full aware of the fact). And furthermore, as hurt as Kurt seemed by Blaine's infidelity, I can't help but wonder if he didn't feel a sense of relief. With his new job, new city, and the promise of endless new experiences, it seemed like those texts and Skype sessions with his old beau were more out of obligation than desire, no? I just wished we'd had a scene or two explaining the emergence of this mystery Eli. Is he a McKinley student? A glee clubber from another district? Inquiring minds want to know
if he's hot or not.
BRITTANY AND SANTANA | Santana returned to Lima to do her laundry and discovered Brittany was reading Desecration: Antichrist Takes the Throne, the ninth book in the Left Behind series, as part of her involvement with a new religious group at McKinley. Agreeing to attend one of the meetings at Breadstix, Santana watched as mean-girl Kitty staged a rapture hoax on an unsuspecting underclassman, but it inevitably led to Brittany admitting she'd been feeling left behind and hurt by her girlfriend's move to college. After an emotional, intimate rendition rendition of "Mine" in the choir room, Santana told Brittany she didn't want them to become one of those long-distance couples who hang in there for a few months, then "break up when someone eventually cheats or things get weird." ("I would never cheat on you," Brittany responded with incredible haste and heatbreaking earnestness.) But Santana, insisting it wasn't "an official breakup," reasoned they should "just do the mature thing here" and give each other space, even though, as she put it (activating my tear ducts in the process), "You know I will always love you the most."
Brittana was probably the least fleshed-out of the breakups this week, but for me, it was also the saddest. Maybe that's because I can't help but feel that whip-smart Santana, in her new life at college, will only grow further and further estranged from Brit in the years to come. There's always been something young and innocent about the connection between these Cheerios, but intellectually and emotionally, Brittany simply isn't a match for Santana right now. Looking at the week's three breakups, I'd deem this one Least Likely to Get Back Together. (Just please, don't let it lead to Brittany covering Taylor Swift's latest single. I love that song, if I'm being honest, but no.) And who'd have thunk Brittany would be the one to verbalize what Santana couldn't bring herself to say: "This sounds a lot like a breakup to me." Mmm-hmm.
WILL AND EMMA | Good news, Wemma fans, the enagement still appears to be on. (I think?) But Will weirdly assumed that Emma would take a sabbatical from her job and join him in DC when he went to work on "The Blue Ribbon Panel to Improve Arts Education" — Oh Em Gee, Schue, stop spelling it out! — and she was not having it, informing her man that she wasn't about to sit around in a hotel room while he went off and fulfilled his dreams. "This is not that I'm afraid of losing my job. It's that I like my job," Emma said, indignant. (Preach, sister!) And when Will insisted they still needed to talk through their decision, Emma dropped this icy (and brilliant) retort: "We just did. You just don't like what I have to say!"
KITTY AND JAKE | Don't burst into tears all at once, folks, but Puckerman 2.0 dumped Nasty McBitchytongue after she made fun of Marley's mom again.
And with that, let's recount the episode's best zinger (we'll keep it to one, since comedy mostly took the week off):
* "I mean, I'm not jealous. I just think it's insane that all Porcelain had to do to get an internship at Vogue.com is take photos of every ridiculous outfit he's ever paired with a Cossack hat and a see-through raincoat, and then show up at an interview where he's lauded as a visionary because his jodhpurs happen to match his riding crop." –Santana, speaking for everyone everytime everywhere while discussing Kurt's new job
Before I hand things off to you, let me also grade this week's musical numbers:
* Blaine and Finn, "Barely Breathing": A- (Finn sounded great, no?)
* Rachel and Brody, "Give Your Heart a Break": A (not an endorsement of this duo, but dang they gave the song an upgrade!)
* Blaine, "Teenage Dream": N/A (How can I grade something I wasn't really supposed to enjoy? Sniff.)
* Finn, Rachel, Kurt, and Blaine, "Don't Speak": B- (Didn't pop for me emotionally, given how much s— was going down as it was sung)
* Santana, "Mine": B+
* Finn, Rachel, Blaine, Kurt, Santana, Brittany, Will and Emma: "The Scientist": A (Yowza, the flashbacks to our couples' first meetings/kisses were really perfectly selected and placed.)
And with that, it's your turn. What did you think of "The Break Up"? Whose problems hit you hardest? Which split made the most sense? And which one (if any) didn't make any sense at all? Take our poll below, then hit the comments with your thoughts!

Menswear fashion forecast for spring 2013 looks bright
Bright colors and soft pastels. Double-breasted jackets in relaxed fabrics. Tank tops. Jeans that go beyond blue. Vintage-inspired shoes. Roomy totes. Athletic influences.
These are among the trends that you'll be seeing a lot of in menswear for next spring, judging from the lines just previewed to retail buyers in Las Vegas.
A group of trade shows under the umbrella of MAGIC were held in locations all over town, including Mandalay Bay, the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Wynn Hotel. While the shows started out years ago with an emphasis on menswear, they now include women's wear, accessories and shoes.
You could easily spend the better part of a week tromping through all the halls, but I only had a day, so I looked in on Project, Pool and ENK as well as hitting a Doneger Group seminar and talking with a Denver retailer about the show.

Guercino: Mind to Paper
At the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Center
October 17, 2006-January 21, 2007
September 7, 2006
LOS ANGELES—Probably the greatest Italian draftsman of the 17th century, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, il Guercino (Italian, 1591–1666), called "the Rembrandt of the South", is hailed for his wide-ranging inventiveness, unusual working methods and his ability to capture drama and movement. The exhibition Guercino: Mind to Paper, at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Center, October 17, 2006–January 21, 2007, highlights his extraordinary talent, and illustrates his use of different media to convey texture, shadow, light, and space in his drawings.
Guercino: Mind to Paper features more than thirty remarkable drawings by the artist whose nickname – Guercino ("the squinter") – derives from a childhood accident, which left him cross-eyed. The majority of the drawings are on loan from the Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, London, with other works coming from the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum, three loans from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, as well as two objects from two West Coast collectors. Appearing at the Getty Center, and then traveling to the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, this exhibition is part of an ongoing collaboration between the Getty Trust and the Courtauld.
Guercino's works were especially prized for their deft touch, psychological insight, and inventive approach to subject matter. The range of drawings on view in this exhibition represent the full arc of Guercino's unique and prolific talent, and span the range of his lengthy and successful career. His drawing style was not only distinctive and spontaneous but reveals an extraordinary aptitude with effects of light and texture, whether employing red and black chalk, or his favored media, pen and ink. Not only did these drawings play an important intermediary role in developing the composition of his paintings, they allowed him to examine human character and object surfaces.
A gifted storyteller, Guercino drew scenes from the life around him in his hometown of Cento, a small northern Italian town – everyday people going about their work, women drying their hair, an intimate portrait of a mother with her child. In contrast, he also studied figures in armor or in a skirmish as preparatory drawings for more complex large-scale paintings.
Guercino: Mind to Paper is curated by Julian Brooks, assistant curator of drawings, the J. Paul Getty Museum, who is also the author of the accompanying catalogue.
Publications are available in the Getty Bookstore, by calling (800) 223-3431 or (310) 440-7059, or online at www.getty.edu.
Guercino: Mind to Paper
By Julian Brooks
This fully illustrated catalogue seeks to provide an introduction to the defining characteristics of Guercino's draftsmanship and investigates why his work is so highly esteemed. This publication brings together a group of the artist's drawings from the Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, London, the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and private collections that reveal a great artist's vigorous imagination at work.
Paperback: $24.95
All events are free, unless otherwise noted. For reservations and information, please call (310) 440-7300 or visit www.getty.edu.
To draw or not to draw? Contrasting the approaches of Caravaggio and Guercino
While most Italian late Renaissance and Baroque artists made drawings to prepare for their paintings, Caravaggio apparently never made a drawing in his life. In contrast, Guercino – whose early paintings reflect Caravaggio's strong light effects and shocking subjects – drew incessantly. Julian Brooks, assistant curator of drawings, the J. Paul Getty Museum, examines these two artists' different approaches and how drawing (or the lack of it) influenced their works. Reservations required.
Sunday, December 10, 4:00 p.m., Museum Lecture Hall
Drawing from the Old Masters
Join artist Peter Zokosky in an exploration of Guercino's drawing methods and materials – including an introduction to iron gall ink, quill and reed pens, and natural chalk – followed by sketching in the galleries with graphite.
Course fee $20. Open to 25 participants.
Tuesday, October 10, 1:00-4:00 p.m.; repeats Sunday, October 15 and Tuesday, October 24, 1:00-4:00 p.m., Museum studios and galleries
Curator's Gallery Talks
Julian Brooks, assistant curator of drawings, the J. Paul Getty Museum, leads a gallery talk on the exhibition. Meet under the stairs in the Museum Entrance Hall.
Tuesday, November 14, 2006, 1:30 p.m., and Thursday, January 11, 2007, 2:30 p.m., Museum galleries

Does your mother tell you who to date? Does she meddle in your life? Has she embarrassed you in front of your friends? Has she ever made you feel . . . crazy? Believe me, I know all about mom's sticking their noses in one's life. Everyone's love life. You see, I'd jumped on a plane heading to my mom's in California to escape a bad divorce. I'd been in the sunny state for less than eight hours when Mom has this tall handsome fellow show up on her doorstep. Can you believe that the day before she'd actually whipped out my old wedding photos to show this man my picture? But holy moly, the last thing I wanted was another man in my life. Ahh, but all I can say is, thank goodness, this handsome fellow was patient, and oh, yes, I'm forever grateful that in this one instance, my mama did know best. You see, this handsome fellow, Steve Craig, turned out to be a keeper. Not that all of my mama's advice worked out so well. She liked the first husband, too. And there was the dye job she gave me that couldn't be reversed and led to me wearing a hat for two months. And I can remember the fashion advice that, thank goodness, I was smart enough to avoid.
But, no matter how bad my mother is, or yours for that matter, she can't begin to compete with Cali's mom in Murder, Mayhem and Mama, my book being released electronically today. Cali's mother wins all the meddling-mom awards. You see, Cali's mom actually comes back from the dead to play match maker and to well… try to prevent her daughter's dead-beat ex from hurting Cali. No, Cali's mom's not appearing in a puff of smoke wearing chains, but she does appear chain smoking in Cali's dreams. And those dreams seem just a bit too real.
And yes, Cali's mom is right about her ex-boyfriend being a weasel, and her mom's desire to neuter the man, isn't too far from what Cali would like to do herself. But now, her dead mom is pushing Cali toward the sexy detective, a very annoying sexy detective who thinks Cali still has a thing for the ex. Never mind that she learns the ex is now being accused of murder. Why would Cali want anything more to do with that guy? She would have never gotten involved with the man if she hadn't been so stressed out about her mom's dying. And why would Cali start falling for the cop who can be a bit of jerk? Surely, Mama doesn't know best.
Or does she?
Now most mothers aren't that bad. They may offer advice that lands you with perm that makes you look like a girl in the sixties, or a color that looks like it belongs in box of crayons and not on your head. They might fix you up with a guy they like because he has a nice career, but is short on personality and hair. But they don't try to run your life—especially from the great beyond. But maybe there are exceptions. Has your mother, dead or alive, ever tried to play match maker for you? Has she tried to break up your relationship with a guy because he had one too many tattoos? (Granted in Cali's case, her mother had her reasons!) So, I want to know, does your mother meddle in your life? Tell me a mother meddling story, good or bad, and I'll chose one poster to win a $25 gift card to either Barnes and Noble or Amazon.

Doctors Are At A Loss For Words!! Cinnamon Turns Out To Be A Natural Substitute For Insulin.
On this occasion we are going to talk about the extraordinary spice called cinnamon. Its usage is highly recommended for the diabetics, especially in their every-day diet, given the fact that cinnamon has an anti diabetic effect, the one that reduces the levels of glucoses in blood.
In a certain way it works the same as insulin; they say it has mimetic features. ''Mimetic'' means that it copies or that it acts and reacts in the same way as the insulin that our body produces naturally.
A scientific research by a university in California revealed that cinnamon has a substance called methyl-hydroxychalcone. This component has an antidiabetic effect, and at the same time reduces the levels of glucoses in blood. Glucoses is the main cause of excessive weight gain: if we didn't have glucoses, we wouldn't put on weight.
If we wanted to lose weight, we would have to reduce the glucoses levels. The key advantage of cinnamon is that it contains the substance that reduces glucoses, since it is very similar to insulin.
Cinnamon has an anti fungal property, that is, it treats all types of fungi. It is recommended to take two tablespoons a day, so let's see what the best way to use it properly is.
-2 tea spoons of cinnamon powder (if you are diabetic, only one)
-1 table spoon of whole oats
-1 glass of water
This extract is very easy to prepare, and we are going to start noticing its effects in about a week's time. We need to liquefy each of the ingredients very well, without straining them. It is necessary to take this extract twice a day for no more than 15 days, since cinnamon could affect the intestinal flora.

I've got a new band, new album, new MySpace page:
Do take a look/ listen and if you like it, add yourself as a "friend". The more the merrier!
Something of a departure for me. Or a return. Haven't played psychedelic music in over 20 years.
All the best
Nervously and with much trepidation!

The 53–year–old BBC presenter was "responding to treatment", according to his doctors, and friends said he was conscious and able to speak – one of the most important indicators of a stroke victim's ability to make a good recovery.
Colleagues spoke of their shock last night that he had suffered a stroke at such a young age, considering he is a lifelong fitness fanatic.
Marr has been a keen distance runner since he was a schoolboy, though he has admitted to having "a few years of hard drinking and smoking" when he first began in journalism.
Jonathan Dimbleby said: "I'm very shocked that someone so energetic, fit and young should have a stroke.
"I just hope it's very mild and that he recovers from it swiftly."
Andrew Neil, a fellow BBC political broadcaster, said he was "very distressed" by the news and wished Marr a "full and speedy recovery".
Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, was among the first of Marr's many interview subjects to wish him well, saying: "My thoughts are with Andrew and his family. I hope he gets well soon."
Marr became ill on Tuesday and was taken to hospital, where he was diagnosed as having suffered a stroke, according to a statement released by the BBC. His wife, Jackie Ashley, a political journalist at The Guardian, and their son and two daughters asked for their "privacy to be respected as he recovers".
The fact that he was able to speak was "encouraging", according to one friend who asked not to be named. The friend added that Marr's treatment and recovery was "still at a very early stage".
Born in Glasgow and educated at Cambridge, Marr took up distance running at school because he lacked "handeye co–ordination or courage", he once said. He has been running ever since, taking his training shoes with him wherever in the world he has worked.
Writing in The Daily Telegraph six years ago, after he ruptured an Achilles tendon following decades of wear and tear, he described how he once ran a marathon "more or less on the spur of the moment" and said running "was partly who I was" and "kept me sane" as he tackled a punishing workload.
Experts on strokes said high blood pressure was the most common cause of the condition.
Marr, a former editor of The Independent newspaper and the BBC's former political editor, is one of the BBC's busiest presenters.
As well as his regular Sunday morning show on BBC1, he presents Start the Week on Radio 4, and last year he hosted two major BBC series, Andrew Marr's History of the World and The Diamond Queen, about the life and reign of the Queen, which was shown just before the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
He also wrote books that accompanied the series, and in recent years has presented two major series on the history of Britain in the 20th century, as well as Andrew Marr's Megacities.
In September last year he described himself as a "fool" after he was pictured embracing a female producer on his History of the World series with one of his hands down the back of her trousers, blaming a "state of utter exhaustion" at the end of the two–year project.
In 2011, it emerged that Marr had taken out a super–injunction gagging newspapers from reporting an extra–marital affair with a female journalist, which he allowed to lapse after discovering he was not, as he had first thought, the father of her child.
When he suffered his painful and debilitating ruptured Achilles tendon, Marr wrote that "medically, in the great run of things I'm a lucky sod" because "there are enough cancers, strokes and heart attacks around for us to keep our sympathy focused there".
The BBC said The Andrew Marr Show and Start the Week would continue with guest presenters until Marr was well enough to return to the screen.
