NTB Sub-Committees: - The Board sub-committees were formalised as follows:
Marine and Costal Area Act: - Keir Volkering and Mylie George gave a brief update regarding applications under the Marine and Costal Act. There are 2 aspects of the Act. 1) Protective Customary Right and 2) Customary Marine Title.
Mylie is supporting individuals who would like to submit applications which close on Monday 3rd April 2017. NTB has lodged a blanket application on behalf of all of Ngātiwai.
Marae Reports: - The following updates for marae were given.

Ngaiotonga: - The Kiwikiwi whanau are holding a reunion at the marae this weekend. The marae will also be hosting the ANZAC dawn service in collaboration with Te Rawhiti and the Russell RSA. Unfortunately there was damage caused to the marae during the last storm, also a wall leak has appeared in the wharekai and some of the kitchen appliances need upgrading.
Ngunguru: - The marae hosted a hui for rohe-moana.
Oakura: - North-power have cleared the surrounding trees away from Omahanga so we've been distributing the fire-wood to the elderly in the community. The marae will be holding a whakatau for Rayonier on the 15th April. We're also seeking funding for kitchen appliances.

Tuparehuia: - A meeting of the marae committee and Haydn (NTB) will be scheduled shortly to sign off the LTO. We received a resignation late last year from our Treasurer Daryl Pita, so Gary Reti has been elected as the new Treasurer. Our next marae committee meeting will be held in April 2017.
Whananaki: - There have been 2 whanau tangi at the marae over the last month. The marae committee have held a series of meetings regarding renovations.

On Friday the 7th of April, The Ngatiwai Education Team - Te Au Here o Tūkaiaia are celebrating the success of all the tamariki that participated in the Rau Ora Youth Suicide Prevention Programme - "Realising Potential through sport".
In the second half of 2016 Te Au Here o Tūkaiaia ran the wananga based Rau Ora programme out of Whangaruru, which seen the project team invite a number of international sporting role models to inspire tamariki, with the likes of Maioro Barton (Wheel Blacks), Kylie Leuluai (NZ Rugby League), Valerie Adams (Olympic Shot Putter), Deanne Carpenter (NZ Boxing), Kewene Edmonds (Waka Ama), Kendell Heremaia and Stirling Smith (Basketball NZ).
Taitamariki who participated in this programme worked towards completing an introduction certificate for New Zealand touch referees. With this certificate they have proven that they have the skills and ability to referee touch games at any level. They also developed a range of other valuable qualities such as leadership, event planning, team work which are transferable skills that will help them become valued members of their communities, and ultimately future leaders of Ngātiwai.
This event on the 7th of April is an opportunity for all those involved as well as their whānau, hapū and iwi to come together and celebrate the fantastic outcomes of this successful programme.
The evening is a formal event so boys are asked to wear a white shirt with black pants and girls a skirt and top or dress. Whānau are invited and encouraged to attend to recognise the successful outcomes our tamariki achieved.

The Marine and Coastal Area Act came into force in April 2011. This Act repealed and replaced the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004(bit.ly/2lZZb9s) and has the stated purpose of restoring and protecting customary interests in the marine and coastal area.
The Act creates special status for the "common marine and coastal area", meaning neither the Crown nor any other person can own it. The marine and coastal area extends from mean high water springs (roughly the highest point washed by the tide) to 12 nautical miles offshore and t runs along the whole coastline of New Zealand, including around off-shore islands. The common marine and coastal area is all of that space, excluding certain conservation areas and existing private titles.
The Act creates for processes whereby the Applicant can apply to have their customary interests recognised by applying for either customary marine title and/or protected customary rights.
With a deadline of April 3 2017 applying to any applications under the Act, we want to ensure our whanau have all the information they need to make informed decisions about moving forward and the options for protecting our customary rights.
An Applicant group can be one or more iwi, hapu or whanau. Each Applicant group requires a representative, which can either be a person or a legal entity (such as a runanga or a trust) with a formal contact point (chairperson, secretary, lawyer etc). That representative will need to ensure that it can demonstrate authority to represent the Applicant group.
Customary Marine Title (CMT) recognises the customary relationship of an iwi, hapu or whanau with part of the common marine and coastal area. Customary Marine Title, once granted/recognised can't be sold and free public access, fishing and other recreational activities can continue in areas covered by CMTs.
An Applicant group applying for CMT must prove that the area specified in their application:
Matters that will be considered in determining whether a CMT exists include whether the Applicant group or any of its members:
The following rights conferred by the grant of Customary Marine Title include:
Protected customary rights (PCR) can also be granted in the common marine and coastal area for a customary activity like the collection of hangi stones or launching waka. "Customary activities" are not defined in the Act, however, a protected customary right cannot include an activity that:
In applying for PCRs, the Applicant group must prove that the protected customary right has been exercised in the specified area since 1840; and continues to be exercised by that group in that same area in accordance with tikanga.
If the Applicant group is granted PCR, the Applicant group doesn't require resource consent to carry out that activity; and Local authorities cannot grant resource consents for other activities that would have an adverse effect on the protected customary right.
The Act provides two pathways through which Applicant groups can make applications for CMT, PCR or both,:
It is possible to apply through both pathways at the same time, though the Crown may choose not to engage with an Applicant group that has also applied to the Court. The tests for proving CMT and PCR, and the outcomes from having those rights granted or recognised, as described above, are the same in both processes.
Applications under both processes must be made by 3 April 2017.
What is the Ngatiwai Trust Board doing about this?
As the timeframe is very short for making applications the Ngatiwai Trust Board is preparing "Blanket" applications under both pathways on behalf of Te Iwi o Ngatiwai for our entire rohe. This was discussed at our recent hui-a-iwi held at Otetao Marae on 4 March 2017. The Board will also support applications made by Ngatiwai whanau, hapu, marae and other Applicant groups.
It is important to understand that the Board has never accepted the Act as fully recognising and protecting customary title/rights over the foreshore and seabed and that the proposed "Blanket" application is not intended to diminish or undermine the rights of whanau, hapu, marae and other Applicant groups in any way. Rather, the Board's objective in filing its own applications, is to preserve and protect the rights of groups that may not be able to file their own applications before the cut-off date. The concept of 'shared exclusivity' (referred to above) will be central to the Board's application.
In addition the Board is seeking interested party status to applications made to the Waitangi Tribunal for an urgent hearing into the prejudicial effects of the Act 2011. These applications do not seek to advance specific claims to the coastal marine area, but seek a Tribunal finding that the whole framework of the Act, particularly the April 3 deadline for applications, is contrary to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and fails to actively protect the tino rangatiratanga of iwi and hapu.
Chair and Deputy Chair: - Haydn Edmonds has been re-elected to the position of Chairman and Phillip Ngawaka was elected to position of Deputy Chair.
Election Process, Matapouri and Mokau Marae: - The election process for Matapouri and Mokau marae will be publically notified on Tuesday 28th February 2017. The public notice, time-line and nomination forms are also available on the NTB website and face-book pages. This information is also available at the NTB office.
Hui-A-Iwi: - The first Hui-A-Iwi of the year will be held at Otetao Reti marae on Saturday 4th March 2017. A copy of the agenda is available on the NTB website and face-book pages. The agenda is also available at the NTB of office.
Powhiri for CEO and new Trustees: - A powhiri will be held Te Whanau a Rangiwhakaahu marae to welcome the CEO and new Trustees on Wednesday 8th March. A panui will be released shortly.
Rathbone Investment: - That the Board continues to look at increasing its investment in the Rathbone Street property to 100%.
Scholarships/Sponsorships: - A review of the scholarship/sponsorship policies will be undertaken by the Board shortly. Until such time as the review is completed all applications are placed on hold.
Takutai moana: - NTB will be instructing our Treaty Claims Lawyer to file an application to the High Court for Customary Marine Title covering the whole Ngātiwai rohe moana.
Please find below the Notice of Election of Trustees for Matapouri and Mōkau Marae. Below you will also find the the Election Timetable and the Trustee Nomination Form.
Please be aware that nominations must be received no later than 5pm Tuesday 14 March and that voting closes 5pm Thursday 20 April 2017
Election Services will be independently running the election on behalf of the Trust Board however Moana MacDonald and Toni Sweeney will take any extra enquiries about the process and/or updates/new registrations.

This week the Icelandic airline WOW air offered £99 transatlantic flights between London and the US.
The cost includes taxes but the flights involve travelling to Reykjavik for the first leg of the journey.
The flights from Reykjavik to the US are operated using WOW air's fleet of Airbus A321 extended-range aircraft.
For more information on deals on flights to Iceland and North America, go to wowair.co.uk.
MOT on board with car loan
TSB is offering free annual MOTs – worth up to £54.85 a year – to customers taking out a car loan with the bank. The free MOT lasts for the life of the agreement and interest rates start at 3.9 per cent APR on loans from £7,500 to £20,000 over one to five years.
Once you've taken out a loan, you search for a local, participating MOT centre online at tsbfreemot.co.uk before calling 0345 835 7878 to book your car in.
Transfer the overdraft
Stung by expensive bank account charges for being in the red? Think about using a money-transfer credit card to pay off your overdraft, suggests the price-comparison site Moneysupermarket.com.
Doing so could bring savings. For example, someone with a £1,500 overdraft and charged 19.3 per cent would pay £288 in interest in a year. However, clearing the £1,500 with a money transfer using the MBNA Platinum credit card – which offers 24 months at 0 per cent subject to a 1.89 per cent fee – would only incur a £28.35 charge, saving £260 in interest.
Junior Isa can fund a degree
Worried about your child's future university fees? Saving £20 a week into a junior Isa (Jisa) could help cover the cost, reckons Fidelity Personal Investing.
It has calculated that saving £20 a week into a Jisa, from the day your child is born until their 18th birthday, would yield £27,126.762, assuming a growth rate of 5 per cent and 1.1 per cent in charges.
Cheap holiday hotel rooms
With October half-term in mind, Travelodge, which operates 504 hotels in Britain, has released 70,000 rooms for just £35 or less during the school holidays. A £35 family room, which caters for two adults and two children, works out at just £8.75 per person.
To book a saver room for £35 or less, visit travelodge.co.uk.
Step up to the plate
Lots of restaurants are offering decent discounts at the moment. You can currently get 40 per cent off main courses at the Tex-Mex chain Chimichanga, 40 per cent off your food bill at Café Rouge and ASK Italian, a fiver off your bill when you spend £25 at Harvester, and a 33 per cent discount at Bella Italia. All the offers are available on the free VoucherCodes.co.uk app.
Best way to buy BT Sport
The Champions League returned this week with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United all involved. And if you want to watch the games on TV, you'll need BT Sport.
So what's the best way to buy it? You can get the channel on Sky, Virgin or from BT itself, of course. But to help you work out which package is most cost-effective, check Moneysupermarket.com/broadband/sports-events.

Submission + - Newfound Exoplanet is best yet candidate for supporting life (scientificamerican.com)
GJ 667Cc, is at least 4.5 times as massive as Earth, and lies in the habitable region of its host star, reports Scientific American. It was discovered by comparing public data from the ESO to recent observations from Hawaii and Chile. As opposed to the stars Kepler is watching, this is only 22 light years away, making it even more interesting.

{ MECHABOT by Go Hero }MECHABOT has old-school giant-robot cool to spare! This hard-vinyl figure is the first release from US-based Go Hero, a robo-obsessed design studio prepared to unleash their sci-fi meets kaiju vision upon the world. They've distilled the entire history of Japanese pop-robot-culture into a brilliant collector-oriented vinyl figure, creating a piece whose design is strikingly original and yet also the perfect homage to those giant robots who have come before him. MECHABOT is cast in 1/32 scale, standing 8.5 inches tall with 12 points of articulation. His rounded features give him a look that calls to mind classic giant robots such as Mazinga and Shin Getter Robo. The fins that rise from his torso add to the nostalgia, though in a much different way, recalling the grandiose American automobile designs of the 50's. His poseability mimics a kind of "rubber-suit" feel, and it's easy to imagine a six-foot tall version of MECHABOT duking it out with arch-enemy Tentikill in a miniature city-set replete with crumbling buildings and lots of well-orchestrated explosions. Go Hero have conjured an instantly iconic design for their title character- his head sculpt combines a classic boomerang "crown" with deep-set glowing eyes and an intimidatingly expressionless mouthplate. I detect a little Optimus Prime influence, though MECHABOT retains his own immediately identifiable image. His story is similarly unique, and threaded through with diverse influence and inspiration. It's the kind of thing you wouldn't be surprised to see showing up on Saturday morning TV, it's appeal is truly that wide. MECHABOT has been released in 3 colorways: A sold-out Super7 Magazine exclusive gray-scale version, the standard metallic paint job and a limited edition matte-finish of the standard scheme. The matte-finish piece is included as part of a Debut Kit which includes a poster created by Super7's Mark Nagata; Hi-Fi-Sci-Fi, an original MECHABOT music CD; a mini art-comic and a mini-figure of Zing Takemitsu, the young man who controls the awesome power of MECHABOT. Go Hero has plans to issue a plethora of monstrous bad-guy figures for MECHABOT to beat-up on, and their evil kaiju designs are a must-see, so be sure to click the links below to scope out the prototypes and backstory. You can find some sharp Flash motion-video pieces featuring Mechabot on the official website, and can order your own figure while you're at it. Whether you're a hard-core vinyl collector or a fan of the giant robot/kaiju genre in general, Go Hero's looking out for you.

Neighbors of an Indian family killed in a murder-suicide grappled with allegations Sunday that the man accused in the shooting in a small California agricultural town was a former Indian army officer wanted for years for murder in his homeland.
News of Saturday's shooting boomeranged through the area's close-knit Indian community, which numbers 15,500 in Fresno County, including about 750 in Selma, a small town surrounded by vineyards and peach orchards and known as the "Raisin Capital of the World." The majority of Indians in the area are Punjabi Sikhs, like the family.
Authorities have said the former officer, Avtar Singh, shot his wife and two children and gravely wounded a third child early Saturday before turning the gun on himself. Investigators were still trying to determine a motive.
"Our community is completely shocked," said Rajbir Singh Pannu, president of the town's Sikh temple. "It's a really bad misfortune, especially for the children who died. Anybody who takes somebody's life, in our religion that's cowardice."
It was just more than a year ago that Singh was arrested after his wife said he had choked her.

High tech pavilion . Short fast moving line up. Go thru airport style security, get a free pair of QUALITY ear buds, not the cheap kind from the dollar store. Enter a lobby with an huge impressive LED screen, go into the main area and watch live Olympics coverage from CTV on flat screen TV's or watch short Olympic theme videos on hand motion activated video terminals. A Bell store is in the back of the pavilion.
This is a really cool spot to go to. The description speaks for itself, but they also give you free headphones (while quantities last, and we were lucky enough to see naturally seven. They performed at 7:30 when we were there
I went there yesterday and wait in long line up for about an hour, got inside and got free ear phone then leaved. It was really boring, all they have was some interview things. There is nothing much you can do except wait in line and get free earphone, really
I was planning on checking this out on Wed. afternoon but long line up and then you have to go through a security check. I can understand if the Canadian mint pavilion has security checks which they don't, but a Bell venue, give me a break.
I came at a time where there wasn't an athlete visit or performance, but still found it very interesting and fun. Lots of TVs showing events and it is cool that you get to use the earbuds.
As for the negative reviews, I don't know what people are expecting from these free venues. These venues are just highlighting their products (whether it is Bell showing products, or countries showing the highlights of their country).
Nice free headphones, but I went twice (waited a long time in line)on two different days and they were out of bells both times. I did see Alexandre Bilodeau live!
They gave out earphones to try out their special presentation programs. Sort of boring, just a lot of TVs to watch. ps. They ran out of bells.
How do I reach to Bell Ice Cube from my location? My Address is 7033, Hastings Street, Burnaby.
It's like going to a Bell store in a mall. There's no point in going in.
Not about the Ice Cube but didn't know where to put this. At the Bell kiosk in Pacific Centre by the atrium at the Georgia/Howe street entrance and Take 5 Cafe, they had an Olympic torch they were letting people get their picture taken with. They used their own camera to take pics and gave you a card to download the online photo the next day. They also took a picture with your own camera too. This was on Sunday Feb 14. Lineup was short. Not sure if that continues through the games. Very cool!
Will the Ice Cube be playing the Canada-Norway game today at 4:30?!?
The Ice Cube is kind of fun. You are handed a set of ear buds on the way in.
The atmosphere is great. Lots of lit up cubes hanging from the ceiling. Also cables hanging in front of flat screens. Plug your head phones into the cables to watch different kinds of content. Watch events on a big screen near the back of the cube. This is where the athletes appear. I saw Silken Laumann up close!!! She looks great. In the back, near the exit, text "cowbell" to 2010 and staff hand you a cowbell. Will go back to see Naturally 7.
Naturally 7 were great! The rest is just OK, at least it's not just a beer garden like most of the other places.
Naturally 7 was incredible!
This place is great; you just have to know the right time to attend.
Athlete interviews and autographs were pretty sweet!
If you like TVs and Naturally 7, you might enjoy the Ice Cube. There were some interesting athlete bio videos, but I really didn't have the patience to watch more than a couple. Skip it.
It is free and is open from 11am to 11pm
the line up moves very fast and it is pretty cool inside with all the lights. it is worth checking out just to get in the spirit of the games.
GAWD-AWFul...worse than waiting on hold for Bell service listening to muzak. If you like watching boring bank advertising, this is for you. Packed with hosers...
Corporate, dull, no seating. Forget this place unless entering draw for Oly tix.
You can find Naturally 7's performance schedule at the Winter Olympics here at
All performances are FREE! Enjoy!
We have a school next door to the Bell Ice Cube and would like to bring the students for a visit. Is it free?
How big is the big screen going to be? If it is smaller than 10 feet i may as well stay home and watch in my theatre room...
Yes, Naturally 7 - what days and times are they performing? Is there a charge to get in?
what times do Naturally 7 perform daily?
None of Bell's releases indicate an admission price. Given that it is nestled among other free venues, a ticket price seems unlikely.
Is this free or is there a charge to get in?? The site doesn't indicate either way.

Louisiana Heart Hospital created the Women's Heart Program to provide early detection through education, information and preventive screening services to help women understand their risk for heart disease and take steps to improve their heart health. Our program is the first of its kind in St. Tammany Parish. The Women's Heart Program at Louisiana Heart Hospital recognizes that women experience symptoms and risk factors that are different from those of men, and understands the special concerns and needs of women.
Download the Myth's and Truths on Women and Heart Disease
The multi-disciplinary cardiovascular team at Louisiana Heart Hospital includes female and male cardiac disease specialists, female nurse practitioners, nurses, nutritionists, exercise physiologists and access to the full-range of other specialists throughout the Louisiana Heart Hospital network of physicians. We provide counseling on weight loss, exercise programs, diet, and other lifestyle changes to help treat and reduce your risk of heart disease. We can help women understand how stress, obesity, depression and menopause may impact their heart.
Download Our Brochure on the Womens' Heart Program
To schedule your women's heart health screening, call 985-639-5197 or find us on Facebook to schedule your screening.
The Women's Heart Program's trained medical professionals understand women's heart disease. They work closely with patients to help identify and evaluate the patients individual risk factors, such as a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Women's Heart Program Screening and Assessment requires a $25 out-of-pocket fee that is not covered by most insurance plans.
The $25 Heart Health screening includes:
Blood pressure test - High blood pressure or hypertension can make your heart work harder than normal and can cause heart enlargement and weakening. It also increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Cholesterol screening - This screening is a good starting point if you have never had your cholesterol tested or is a great opportunity to see if the lifestyle changes you are making are effective in helping to control cholesterol levels.
Cardiac risk assessment - This assessment can help determine your risk for developing heart disease and enable you to modify your lifestyle to help you live a longer and healthier life.
One-on-one consultation with a heart health expert - This will help you understand your results and help you determine steps to make healthier lifestyle choices.
A heart disease risk survey and personalized report - This report is a tool should you need referral to a primary care doctor or cardiologist.
Follow-up phone calls - We care that your questions are answered and will follow up to make sure your needs are met.

Graph theory A graph consists of: set of vertices A set of edges connecting vertex pair Incidence matrix: which edges are connected
The incidence matrix of a graph gives the (0,1)-matrix which has a row for each vertex and column for each edge, and (v,e)=1 iff vertex v is incident upon edge e
These are all equivalent
Euler and the Konigsberg bridges
Types of graphs Eulerian: circuit that traverses each edge exactly once Which graphs possess Euler circuits?
Problem: does this graph have an Euler cycle?
Theorem: If every vertex has even degree then there is an Eulerian path
What is a theorem? A statement that no one can understand A statement that only a mathematician can understand A statement that can be verified from "first principles" A statement that is "always true"
Heuristic argument An argument that appeals to intuition, but may not be compelling by itself. In the case of the Eulerian graph theorem, think of the vertex as a room and the edges as hallways connecting rooms. If you leave using one hallway then you have to return using a different one. "Induction argument"
Hamiltonian graph
Hamilton's puzzle: find a path in the dodecahedron graph that traverses each vertex exactly once
Is the following graph Hamiltonian?
Petersen graph: symmetry
Graph colorings
Other types of graphs
Other properties Diameter Girth Chromatic number etc
Which continent is this?
Boss's dilemna Six employees, A,B,C,D,E,F Some do not get along with others Find smallest number of compatible work groups WorkerABCDEF Doesn't like B,CA,CA,B,D,EC,F D,E
What does this graph have to do with the Boss's dilemma?
Complementary graph
Complete subgraph Subgraph: vertices subset of vertex set, edges subset of edge set Complete: every vertex is connected to every other vertex.
Complementary graph
Handshakes, part 2 There are several men and 15 women in a room. Each man shakes hands with exactly 6 women, and each woman shakes hands with exactly 8 men. How many men are in the room?
Visualize whirled peas Samantha the sculptress wishes to make "world peace" sculpture based on the following idea: she will sculpt 7 pillars, one for each continent, placing them in circle. Then she will string gold thread between the pillars so that each pillar is connected to exactly 3 others. Can Samantha do this?
Some additional exercises in graph theory There are 7 guests at a formal dinner party. The host wishes each person to shake hands with each other person, for a total of 21 handshakes, according to: Each handshake should involve someone from the previous handshake No person should be involved in 3 consecutive handshakes Is this possible?
Camelot King Arthur and his knights wish to sit at the round table every evening in such a way that each person has different neighbors on each occasion. If KA has 10 knights, for how long can he do this? Suppose he wants to do this for 7 nights. How many knights does he need, at a minimum?
The P=NP problem The question is whether, for all problems for which a computer can verify a given solution quickly (that is, in polynomial time), it can also find that solution quickly. This is generally considered the most important open question in theoretical computer science as it has far- reaching consequences in mathematics, philosophy and cryptography.
P vs NP classes
P = NP? asks: if 'yes'-answers to a 'yes'-or-'no'- question can be verified "quickly" (in polynomial time), can the answers themselves also be computed quickly? Example: subset-sum problem: "easy" to verify, believed (but not proven) "difficult" to compute. Given a set of integers, does some subset of them sum to 0? Example: {−2, −3, 15, 14, 7, −10} {−2, −3, −10, 15} adds up to zero" finding such a subset in the first place could take much longer. this problem is in NP.
IF P = NP then problems like the subset-sum problem are as "easy" to compute as to verify. If P does not equal NP, some NP problems are substantially "harder" to compute than to verify.
This is item 1 This is item 2This is item 3
This is item 1 This is item 2 This is item 3
Example: Primality Testing whether a number is prime can be done in "polynomial time" (Shor, 1994) on a quantum computer (qubits), but not on a classical computer (bits) On a classical computer, the problem is "subexponential"
NP-complete NP-hard problems are those to which any problem in NP can be reduced in polynomial time. For instance, the decision problem version of the traveling salesman problem is NP-complete, so any instance of any problem in NP can be transformed mechanically into an instance of the traveling salesman problem, in polynomial time. The traveling salesman problem is one of many such NP- complete problems. If any NP-complete problem is in P, then it would follow that P = NP. Unfortunately, many important problems have been shown to be NP-complete and as of 2008, not a single fast algorithm for any of them is known.
It is not obvious that NP-complete problems exist. Given a description of a Turing machine M guaranteed to halt in polynomial time, does there exist a polynomial-size input that M will accept? This is in NP: given an input, it is simple to check whether or not M accepts the input by simulating M It is NP-hard: the verifier for any particular instance of a problem in NP can be encoded as a polynomial-time machine M that takes the solution to be verified as input. The question of whether the instance is a yes or no instance is determined by whether a valid input exists.
Is P equal to NP? In a 2002 poll of 100 researchers, 61 believed the answer is no, 9 believed the answer is yes, 22 were unsure, and 8 believed the question may impossible to prove or disprove.
Most computer scientists believe that P≠NP. Key reason: no one has been able to find a polynomial-time algorithm for any of the more than 3000 NP-complete problems These algorithms were sought long before the concept of NP-completeness was even known The result P = NP would imply many other startling results that are currently believed to be false, such as NP = co-NP and P = PH.
Millennium Prize Problems The Millennium Prize Problems are seven problems in mathematics that were stated by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. Currently, six of the problems remain unsolved. A correct solution to each problem results in a US$1,000,000 prize (sometimes called a Millennium Prize) being awarded by the institute. Only the Poincaré conjecture has been solved, but the solver Grigori Perelman has not pursued the conditions necessary to claim the prize.
Turing machine A Turing machine is a basic, abstract symbol- manipulating device that can be adapted to simulate the logic of any computer algorithm. Described in 1936 by Alan Turing. Not intended as a practical computing technology, rather as a thought experiment about the limits of mechanical computation. Never actually constructed but… their abstract properties yields many insights into computer science and complexity theory.
Turing machine (details) TAPE: divided into cells, one next to the other. Each cell contains a symbol from some finite alphabet. The alphabet contains a special blank symbol (here written as '0') and one or more other symbols. The tape is assumed to be arbitrarily extendable to the left and to the right, i.e., the Turing machine is always supplied with as much tape as it needs for its computation. Cells that have not been written to before are assumed to be filled with the blank symbol A HEAD that can read and write symbols on the tape and move the tape left and right one (and only one) cell at a time. In some models the head moves and the tape is stationary. A finite ACTION TABLE : given the current state(qi) and the symbol(aj) it is reading, tells the machine to do the following in sequence (for the 5-tuple models): * either erase or write a symbol (instead of aj written aj1), and then * move the head 'L' for one step left or 'R' for one step right or 'H' for staying put; * assume the same or a new state as prescribed (go to state qi1). A state register that stores the state of the Turing table, one of finitely many.
Universal Turing Machine (UTM) A UTM is able to simulate any other Turing. Church-Turing thesis: Turing machines indeed capture the informal notion of effective method in logic and mathematics, and provide a precise definition of an algorithm or 'mechanical procedure'.

Scheduling Resources and Costs CHAPTER EIGHT Student Version Copyright © 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. McGraw-Hill/Irwin
8–28–2 Where We Are Now
8–38–3 The Resource Problem Resources and Priorities –Project network times are not a schedule until resources have been assigned. The implicit assumption is that resources will be available in the required amounts when needed. Adding new projects requires making realistic judgments of resource availability and project durations. –Cost estimates are not a budget until they have been time-phased.
8–48–4 The Resource Problem (cont'd) Resource Smoothing (or Leveling) –Involves attempting to even out varying demands on resources by using slack (delaying noncritical activities) to manage resource utilization when resources are adequate over the life of the project. Resource-Constrained Scheduling –The duration of a project may be increased by delaying the late start of some of its activities if resources are not adequate to meet peak demands.
8–58–5 Types of Project Constraints Technical or Logic Constraints –Constraints related to the networked sequence in which project activities must occur. Physical Constraints –Activities that cannot occur in parallel or are affected by contractual or environmental conditions. Resource Constraints –The absence, shortage, or unique interrelationship and interaction characteristics of resources that require a particular sequencing of project activities Kinds of Resource Constraints –People, materials, equipment
8–68–6 Classification of A Scheduling Problem Classification of Problem –Using a priority matrix will help determine if the project is time or resource constrained. Time-Constrained Project –Must be completed by an imposed date. Time is fixed, resources are flexible: additional resources are required to ensure project meets schedule. Resource-Constrained Project –Is one in which the level of resources available cannot be exceeded. Resources are fixed, time is flexible: inadequate resources will delay the project.
8–78–7 Resource Allocation Methods Limiting Assumptions –Splitting activities is not allowed—once an activity is start, it is carried to completion. –Level of resources used for an activity cannot be changed. Risk Assumptions –Activities with the most slack pose the least risk. –Reduction of flexibility does not increase risk. –The nature of an activity (easy, complex) doesn't increase risk.
8–88–8 Resource Allocation Methods (cont'd) Time-Constrained Projects –Must be completed by an imposed date. –Require use of leveling techniques that focus on balancing or smoothing resource demands. –Use positive slack (delaying noncritical activities) to manage resource utilization over the duration of the project. Peak resource demands are reduced. Resources over the life of the project are reduced. Fluctuation in resource demand is minimized.
8–98–9 Resource Allocation Methods (cont'd) Resource Demand Leveling Techniques for Time-Constrained Projects –Advantages Peak resource demands are reduced. Resources over the life of the project are reduced. Fluctuation in resource demand is minimized. –Disadvantages Loss of flexibility that occurs from reducing slack. Increases in the criticality of all activities.
8–10 Resource Allocation Methods (cont'd) Resource-Constrained Projects –Resources are limited in quantity or availability. –Activities are scheduled using heuristics (rules-of-thumb) that focus on: 1.Minimum slack 2.Smallest (least) duration 3.Lowest activity identification number –The parallel method is used to apply heuristics An iterative process starting at the first time period of the project and scheduling period-by-period the start of any activities using the three priority rules.
8–11 The Impacts of Resource-Constrained Scheduling Reduces delay but reduces flexibility. Increases criticality of events. Increases scheduling complexity. May make the traditional critical path no longer meaningful. Can break sequence of events. May cause parallel activities to become sequential and critical activities with slack to become noncritical.
8–12 SplittingSplitting Splitting –A scheduling technique use to get a better project schedule and/or increase resource utilization. Involves interrupting work on an activity to employ the resource on another activity, then returning the resource to finish the interrupted work. Is feasible when startup and shutdown costs are low. Is considered the major reason why projects fail to meet schedule.
8–13 Multiproject Resource Schedules Multiproject Scheduling Problems 1.Overall project slippage Delay on one project create delays for other projects 2.Inefficient resource application The peaks and valleys of resource demands create scheduling problems and delays for projects. 3.Resource bottlenecks Shortages of critical resources required for multiple projects cause delays and schedule extensions.
8–14 Multiproject Resource Schedules (cont'd) Managing Multiproject Scheduling: –Create project offices or departments to oversee the scheduling of resources across projects. –Use a project priority queuing system: first come, first served for resources. –Centralize project management: treat all projects as a part of a "megaproject." –Outsource projects to reduce the number of projects handled internally.
8–15 Key Terms Heuristic Planned value (PV) Resource-constrained projects Smoothing Splitting Time-constrained projects Time-phased budget baseline

Thanks for helping!
gone gone gone with the best chicken soup ever!!! The next time we went there they were GONE - you never know why good cooking won't matter to make a place stay in business.
too bad this place closed, they used to offer family friendly meals and my son loved the giant cookies, possibly not a good location in town as nothing seems to stay in that plaza across from the highschool.
I eat out frequently so I get tired of fast-food and expensive meals so I Often come here for hearty dinners; meatloaf or lasagna, or a good sandwich / beef dip / soup for lunch. Chef's salad is beyond the usual iceburg lettuce with a nice homemade dressing too. And the 5 oz burger is Really Good, loaded down as...
The place was clean, the staff were friendly, the food was decent and quick, and the prices were completely reasonable. You're not getting eggs benny and you're not getting waffles here. It's pancakes or eggs+meat+toast+homefries. The OJ was from a can... but it was a very cold can served with a large (spotless) glass with some ice.
Not remotely close...
This place is great, very clean, service is great too can't say enough good about this place you can get homemade baked goods, breakfast is great too servings are great size a great bang for your buck and definately try the 5oz burger you won't be disappointed! I come here everytime I'm in town

Pakistan has rejected remarks by the ex-head of the UN mission in Afghanistan that arrest of top Taliban leaders in this country might have disrupted talks between the militants and world body officials, saying they were "misinterpretation" of its aim to back reconciliation process in the war-torn nation.
Norwegian diplomat Kai Eide, who stepped down from his position as chief of the UN mission in Afghanistan, had said talks with the Taliban were disrupted several weeks ago after more than a dozen militant commanders, including Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, were captured in Pakistan.
Rejecting Eide's contention, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said: "The fact of the matter is that Mullah Baradar's arrest was a joint operation with the US and had nothing to do with talks or reconciliation."
Pakistan has long called for talks to end the war in Afghanistan and Eide's comments were a misinterpretation of its aims, Basit said.
"Pakistan is committed to support an Afghanistan-led reintegration and reconciliation process so any other contentions, we believe, are a misrepresentation and misinterpretation of our intentions," he added.
The arrest of the Afghan-Taliban commanders has also reportedly infuriated President Hamid Karzai, who asked for them to be handed over to his country during a recent visit to Pakistan.

As both a writer and an environmentalist, I have long been on a quest for writing which finds a language for our relationship with what we like to call "nature" without recourse to agitprop, hippie sentiment or an over-dependence on science. I have searched in the usual places – Schumacher, Lovelock, Thoreau, Wordsworth – but it was the work of an almost-forgotten poet which gave me what I had been looking for.
Living a reclusive life on the Californian cliffs, in a stone house he built himself, Robinson Jeffers (1887- 1962) wrote dark, powerful narrative verse about man's propensity for violence against nature and ourselves. In his day, Jeffers was a star: he appeared on the cover of Time, read his poems in the US Congress and was respected for the alternative he provided to the Modernist juggernaut.
Today he has been written out of poetic history. When I first came across his Selected Poems it was clear why. He set out to destroy the last genuine taboo: humanity's own self-importance. He believed that our narcissism as a species was driving everything to destruction. Add this hard message to verse which itself follows the rhythms of nature – flows like the ocean, roars like the wind – and you have something unique and thrilling. Jeffers was a prophet, rejected because he brought us messages we didn't want to hear.
Who, in an age of "consumer choice", wants to be told that "it is good for man... To know that his needs and nature are no more changed in fact in ten thousand years than the beaks of eagles"? What good liberal wants to hear the poet's angry warning issued at the height of the Second World War: "Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy/ And the dogs that talk revolution/ Drunk with talk, liars and believers .../ Long live freedom, and damn the ideologies"?
Towards the end of his life, Jeffers saw the crowds move away from him. His dark prophecies ("this America settles in the mould of its vulgarity, heavily thickening to empire") and visions of a world in which humanity was doomed to destroy its surroundings and itself ("I would burn my right hand in a slow fire / To change the future ... I should do so foolishly") were never going to be popular in the rising age of consumer democracy which he also predicted: "Be happy, adjust your economics to the new abundance ..."
At last, even his lonely house on the cliffs was surrounded by suburban houses. But the poet remained sanguine. The world, he wrote, "has all time. It knows the people are a tide/ That swells and in time will ebb, and all/ Their works dissolve." Our best hope is to "unhumanize our views a little, and become confident/ As the rock and ocean that we were made from."

How serious is the NFL about cracking down on helmet-to-helmet violence? Well, three fines were announced on Tuesday -- $75,000 to Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison(notes) for his hit on Cleveland Browns receiver Mohammed Massaquoi, $50,000 to Atlanta Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson(notes) for his hit on Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson(notes), and $50,000 to New England Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather(notes) for his hit on Baltimore Ravens tight end Todd Heap(notes).
By the way, if you hadn't seen the Meriweather and Robinson hits, you could have gone on NFL.com as late as Wednesday morning and bought them.
The Harrison-Massaquoi shot and the Meriweather-Heap hit are no longer available online. The Harrison hit was a 15 x 20-inch unframed print for $54.95, but you could have also gotten that size framed for $169.95, or a custom canvas gallery wrap for $249.95.
The NFL makes a certain number of photos available for sale, and it's obviously just an oversight, but it's a pretty glaring one in light of the league's recent stance against these kinds of incidents.
UPDATE: On Wednesday morning, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that the league was looking into removing the pictures for sale.
NFL said it takes responsibility for sale of Harrison/Meriwether photos. Outside vendor but photos are purchased from NFL official site.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello had this to add:
On NFL Photo Store: We regret mistake. Those photos will be removed ASAP & we will ensure no photos of illegal plays are available again.

Some sources claim it's a done deal; others say the ink isn't dry on Peter Jackson signing on to officially direct The Hobbit, which he co-wrote with Guillermo del Toro, who stepped down as director due to production delays.
Also the producer, Jackson plans to shoot the two-part film in 3D, it was revealed Tuesday by website Deadline Hollywood, which will cost $500 million. With release dates set for December 2012 and December 2013, production is expected to start early next year.
The delays have been caused by the uncertainty of MGM studio's bankruptcy, but may be resolved with the partnership with Warner Bros.
Since Jackson announced a casting call in New Zealand for small performers to play hobbits last week, an official green light on production is expected soon.

I quietly observed her as she dined. With each delicate bite she took, she tilted her head back and closed her eyes in ecstasy as she chewed. I was close enough to the gray fox in my back field to see that it was a "lady" fox, but not close enough to see what meal caused her such delight.
It was such a treat to watch that fox (right here in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Denton) that I froze in my tracks, held my breath, and stood as still as I possibly could. Though every inch of me screamed to run for the camera and snap a picture … I knew that it would disturb her, and I would lose the chance to just enjoy the moment.
For fully fifteen minutes the lady fox ate her meal, oblivious to everything around her. She didn't notice me; she ignored the sound of the traffic passing on the road not far away; the sudden blast of an ambulance's siren didn't disturb her; and the mockingbird that swooped at her head caused her no concern. She took the time to enjoy every single bite she took. Would that we all could enjoy the moment as that gray fox did … and as I did.
When her meal was finished, she spent the time to clean her face with her paws and groom her tail. Then she slowly trotted away into the underbrush.
I realized that my feet had fallen asleep and that a smile was frozen on my face. What a moment to treasure! It felt like I had been given a gift. My few moments watching the fox seemed almost holy.
Although I'd love to have preserved the moment with a picture, and wish I could show that fox to you, I'm so glad that I didn't! Too often on special occasions we watch the action from behind a camera … preserving moments instead of enjoying living them. I need to remember the lesson I just learned with this experience. I think my camera just got a lot less important to me! I realized that in my mind's eye I will always see her beauty more distinctly than I would in any photograph I might have taken.
My thoughts wandered to what that foxy lady might have been eating. Was it a field mouse or a bird? Maybe it was a squirrel? "Oh no!" I thought. "What if it was one of my bunny rabbit friends?"
As much as I dreaded knowing, I was drawn like a moth to a flame. I had to know what the fox found so delicious. Tentatively, I walked across the yard to the spot where she had dined, fearing what I might find.
On the ground, picked totally clean, was a corn cob. What a relief! I got to watch a wild creature have a meal … and that wild creature was a vegetarian! I love it when there is no blood or guts.


text: Got to talk to Cabral for a bit. Thanked him for his guidance through troubling times and the fact he stayed with the program. He said he never thought of leaving. He is excited about Juda Parker, thinks he will compete right away for playing time. J. Major is fully recovered and ready to go. Pearick and Webb will battle for the starter spot at their position but we will run more 3-4 so both will play. But he is excited to see how they will compete against each other. As for Nembot, every coach had something to say about him. 4 year starter (if he puts in the work) was what I heard. Burnett seemed to be on all their minds as well. JE said to me (and others) there will be hurt feelings at some positions but we will play the best. Like what I heard. Hell, I loved it. CU pride runs strong in LA. GO BUFFS!

He just went further and further away to come home 12 lengths clear of Annus Mirabilis. Kevin Darley looked almost stunned at the ease of his victory - though he pushed Celtic Swing out to the line, continuing his racing education - and delighted with the cheers that echoed round the winner's enclosure. At last racing fans have a superstar to dream about during the winter.
Celtic Swing's memorable display sent him galloping to favouritism for both the 2,000 Guineas and Derby. He is a top-priced 5-2 with Ladbrokes for the 2,000 Guineas - Coral go 9-4 and William Hill only 2-1 - and best-priced at 6-1 with Ladbrokes for the Derby - Coral offer 5-1 and William Hill an incredibly short 7-2. Hills' spokesman David Hood, explained: 'This horse is a monster. He is the easiest Group 1 winner I've seen since Shergar.'
Lady Herries, Celtic Swing's trainer, could hardly take it all in. She said: 'We always thought he was nice, but he was such a big backward type at the start of the year. We never really tried him as being special, but we did notice that we needed faster and faster horses to work with him.
'He's got such speed that we must go for the Guineas and, if he relaxes, there's no reason why he shouldn't stay the Derby trip. And he's a sensible horse, easy to train. The only problem we've had with him has been sore shins, which he suffered from early in the year and which recurred after he won at Ayr. We keep him well wrapped up now after he races.'
The millionaire publisher Savill, who holds a 250-1 voucher about Celtic Swing for the Derby, bought the son of the Derby third Damister from his breeder, Lavinia, Duchess of Norfolk (Lady Herries' mother), after he went to inspect another two-year-old, Opaline, at the Littlehampton yard. He took a shine to that one's work- mate and bought both. Opaline was killed earlier in the year; Celtic Swing is Derby favourite. 'That's the swings and roundabouts of this game,' said Lady Herries.
Among the trainer's doubts beforehand was the rain-softened ground, but Celtic Swing seemed to relish it. The colt's forelegs deviate alarmingly from the norm - he is decidedly knock-kneed - and if there is a doubt about him, it may be his ability to come down Tattenham Hill on firm ground.
