Maryland Comptroller Tours The Hill
More exciting details about this historic African American neighborhood in this article!
There's beginning to be a lot of buzz about The Hill, perhaps the oldest established African-American neighborhood in the country. Read three recent articles in the Star Democrat at the links below:
More details from 'The Hill' come to light
More digs planned for 'The Hill'
What's more, the neighborhood's two historic African-American churches, both of which hosted speeches by Frederick Douglass
when he visited Easton, are slated to receive preservation funds in Governor Martin O'Malley's budget this year.
If you are interested in learning more about The Hill, donating towards the preservation and archaeological work, or getting involved as a volunteer, please visit the Historic Easton web site or send us an email!
For those interested in learning the latest on the explorations and research into The Hill neighborhood in Easton, please plan to join us on Saturday, November 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
We believe "The Hill" is the oldest African American neighborhood in the country, predating what is thought of as the oldest documented African American neighborhood: "Treme" located in New Orleans, LA.
"Uncovering Our Past" will take place at the Talbot County Senior Center (400 Brookletts Place) and will provide a debriefing on the on-going documentation efforts regarding "The Hill" and a discussion on the role of archeology and historic preservation. Professor Dale Glenwood Green of Morgan State University School of Architecture and Planning and Dr. Mark Leone of the University of Maryland College Park Department of Anthropology will highlight a panel discussion followed by a open session for sharing and collecting stories of the neighborhood history. Light refreshments will be available.

Archaeological Dig on The Hill in Easton
Help Preserve an Historic African American Neighborhood: The Hill in Easton, Md.
Photos below are from the archaeological dig going on at the "Buffalo Soldier's House" in The Hill area of Easton, Md. (323 South Street). Visitors are welcome to stop by this upcoming week, Monday thru Friday, between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., to observe the dig.
The house (built c. 1880) belonged to relatives of William Gardner, a Buffalo Soldier. The archaeological dig is part of a process to help save the house and also is part of a wider investigation of the history of the entire neighborhood.

DURHAM — Legislation was filed Thursday to restore funding cuts made last year to the University of New Hampshire budget.
After being sworn in last Wednesday to her second term, state Sen. Martha Fuller Clark who now represents her hometown of Portsmouth, Durham and surrounding communities of Newmarket, Madbury, and Lee, filed the legislation to restore the cuts which UNH president Mark Huddleston has previously called the single biggest cut to public education in the history of this country.
"In 2011, state funding for public higher education was cut by about 50 percent, dropping the state's contribution to about six percent, the lowest level of support per capita in the country," he said during his State of the University address in October.
Fuller Clark was interviewed by Foster's following former President Bill Clinton's speech supporting the re-election of President Barack Obama at the school. Clinton's speech touched on education and student loans and Fuller Clark said she thought his words really hit home with students and the crowd.
"At a time when New Hampshire and the rest of the country is challenged to compete globally for good jobs, nothing is more important than having a well-educated work force. We owe the opportunity for all of New Hampshire's young people to access such an affordable quality education through our university system," Fuller Clark said, adding. "That is why today I filed legislation to restore the millions of dollars of cuts from the University's budget that occurred under Republican leadership in the state's budget for 2012-2012."

Young Earth creationism, that is.
They are back to the subject of manganese nodules that have been discovered deep down in parts of the world's major oceans.
http://www.icr.org/article/8650 (reporting this: http://www.livescience.com/49820-mangan ... ocean.html)
Quoting the ICR's Jake Hebert:
"Scientists recently discovered a large batch of manganese nodules on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. These metallic pellets provide strong evidence that most seafloor sediments were deposited rapidly, not slowly and gradually over millions of years." How?
Well, Hebert does go on to offer some kind of rationale.
He goes on to state: "Manganese nodules have consistently been observed growing in lakes and man-made reservoirs, as well as on debris fragments from World Wars I and II, at rates hundreds of thousands of times faster than these calculated rates". However, the conditions in these waters are undoubtedly very different to the deep oceans. Has anyone observed the same thing in the deep oceans (probably a difficult undertaking)?
Hebert continues: "Secular scientists argue that perhaps nodules are found in the uppermost sediments because surface-dwelling organisms or bottom ocean currents have recently begun disturbing the sediments so as to prevent nodule burial, thereby allowing them to grow to the sizes we see at the sediment surface [two references provided]. But if "the present is the key to the past," as they claim, why then has such a disturbance of the sediments occurred in only the (relatively) recent past? Why have these disturbances not occurred for many tens of millions of years, so that nodules are found consistently at all depths within the seafloor sediments?"
But if Earth is 4.5 bn years old, why should conditions at the bottom of (today's) deep oceans always have been as they are today (such uniformitarianism would of course make greater sense in a 6,000 year old planet)?
However, the ICR have their own 'explanation': "Nodules are generally absent from the deeper sediments because these sediments were deposited far too rapidly for nodule growth to occur." Why was that? You guessed - because of the receding Genesis Flood (the deep oceans have ALWAYS been underwater and with very high pressures too, but the Bible records floodwaters - 'springs of the deep being broken or bursting forth' - coming from below as well as from above).
But Hebert appears to be trying to have his cake and eat it. After saying: "In the millennia after the Flood, sediment deposition would have eventually slowed to today's "slow and gradual" rates." Yet he then insists - because YECs seldom have enough time at their disposal to come up plausible scientific explanations - "rapid deposition invalidates the extremely old ages that secular scientists have assigned to the seafloor sediments ...". So it 'must' have been 'rapid deposition' of nodules, even though sediment deposition appears to have been 'slow and gradual' throughout recent history?
Does Bob Sorensen address any of my queries above? Or does he simply 'take on trust' and regurgitate the 'expert' at the ICR?
The latter.
I am posting this link here to see if anybody else can provide an answer to my questions above:

Monkey Kingdom
Life is an adventure for Maya, the clever and resourceful blonde-bobbed monkey in "Monkey Kingdom," Disneynature's new feature film set among ancient ruins in the storied jungles of South Asia. Maya's world is forever changed when she welcomes her son, Kip, into her complicated extended family. Like all families, Maya's has more than its share of colorful personalities—and she's determined to give her son a leg up in the world. When their longtime home at Castle Rock is taken over by powerful neighboring monkeys, Maya's whole family retreats, and she uses her street smarts and ingenuity to uncover untapped resources amidst strange new creatures and unsettling surroundings. Ultimately, they will all have to work together to reclaim Castle Rock, where Maya can hopefully realize her dreams for her son's future. Featuring a rich variety of characters, including a mischievous mongoose, simple-minded langur monkeys, predatory leopards and monitor lizards, "Monkey Kingdom" is narrated by Tina Fey ("30 Rock"), directed by Mark Linfield ("Chimpanzee," "Earth") and co-directed by Alastair Fothergill ("Chimpanzee," "Bears"). With music from award-winning composer Harry Gregson-Williams ("The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," "Shrek" movies), Disneynature's eighth True Life Adventure—the follow-up to 2014's "Bears"—swings into theaters April 17, 2015. For more information about the film and the conservation program, go to www.disney.com/monkeykingdom.
From Disneynature, the studio that brought you Earth and Chimpanzee, comes Bears — an epic story on a breathtaking scale. Showcasing a year in the life of a bear family — mother Sky teaches her two impressionable cubs, Amber and Scout, about life's most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop, their journey begins as winter ends. Emerging from hibernation, the three face the bitter cold and an exciting but very risky outside world. Astonishing footage captures the fast-moving action and suspense of an endearing family learning to live life to its fullest in one of the planet's last great wildernesses.

How to control Facebook app privacy
by Larry Magid
Facebook is more than a social network. It's also a platform that allows independent developers to create applications, or "apps" that greatly expand what the service can offer. Games, including social games like Words with Friends, are very popular, but there are also education apps, photo sharing apps, apps to share interesting reading material, music apps and much more.
To operate properly, many of these apps need information from your profile and some need (or at least want) the ability to post on your behalf. That's not necessarily a bad thing because, by accessing or sharing information, these apps can enhance your social experience. But, it's important to understand and exercise control over what information apps can use and how using apps can impact your experience on Facebook. Fortunately Facebook does give users a lot of control, and has ways to limit what apps can do, and ways to remove apps you don't like or no longer find useful. And, parents, please heed the advice of my ConnectSafely.org co-director Anne Collier by not only advising kids on how to control their own apps, but serving as a role model by showing them you're doing it too.
What apps can do
What an app can do and what information it needs depends on the app's purpose. If it's an app that sends out birthday greetings to your friends, for example, it makes sense for it to know who your friends are and their birthdates and, of course to be able to send out a greeting. Other apps have different functions and different default permissions, which can include, among other things, access to your basic information, the ability to post to your timeline and newsfeed on your behalf, your location, and access to information people share with you.
Controlling apps permissions
As you install an app you can control what information it can access and what it can do, but you can also edit that information (i.e. take away permissions) at any time as follows:
-Click on the down arrow in the upper right corner of any page
-Select Privacy Settings
-Scroll down to Apps and Websites and click Edit Settings
-That will display your most recently used apps but not necessarily all your apps.
- Click Edit Settings from this screen to control all your apps.
-To see and edit all your apps, click Edit Settings in the gray box to the right of where it says how many apps you're using.
-Find the app you want to control and click Edit (to the right).
For example, this app from SoundCloud has permission to post on my behalf to my timeline, newsfeed or ticker, but I can take away that permission by clicking on the X to the right of any permission I wish to remove. It's also possible to limit who can see the posts it makes on my behalf by clicking on the current setting (Friends, in this illustration) and changing it. You can even select "Only me," which still lets the app post (so you have a record of its history) but only you can see it.
For more on Facebook privacy see A Parents' Guide to Facebook from ConnectSafely.org.
This short video, prepared by Facebook, demonstrates how to control app privacy.
Disclosure: Larry Magid is co-director of ConnectSafely.org, a non-profit Internet safety organization that receives financial support from Facebook.

Getting ready for baby
Anxious about delivery day? Think you might panic when your partner needs you the most? You're not alone. In fact, you're totally normal. Don't worry — a little planning now and a few deep breaths on delivery day will help you keep things running smoothly.
Thinking ahead (you've got this!)
You'll feel a lot more confident when you know what to expect, where to go, and what to do on delivery day.
Go see where your baby will be born
Depending on where you live, you may be able to take a virtual tour of labor and delivery centers near you. Even better, make plans to go visit in person.
Know the signs of labor
No amount of preparation or dress rehearsals will slow that rush of adrenaline that shoots through you when your partner says, "It's time." Learn what to look for.
Have an action plan
If you and your partner have taken a prenatal class,* you're off to a great start. You can't predict when delivery day will be, but you can be ready to spring into action.
During early labor at home:
- Play your partner's favorite music.
- Massage her feet.
- Place a cool cloth on her face.
- Offer her ice chips, water, or juice.
- Give her a shower or a bath.
When it's time to go to the hospital:
- Grab her hospital bag
- Get her there safely.
- Breathe with her through contractions.
- Stay calm and help her focus.
*Some classes may require a fee.

The best parts of Matthew Barney's Cremaster films are arguably their trailers, which distill hours of extravagantly abstract imagery into stunning five-minute samplers. Along those same lines, the average moviegoer may want to skip Barney's recent Drawing Restraint 9 in favor of Alison Chernick's behind-the-scenes documentary Matthew Barney: No Restraint, which includes many of the film's jaw-dropping images of massive gelatin molds, whaling ship rituals, and compulsive Björk-manipulation, with the added bonus of context and explanation.
And that context gets more helpful the further away it gets from Drawing Restraint 9. Barney has had an unusual life and career for a fine artist. He's a strapping athletic type who played quarterback in high school and modeled professionally, and he became an art-world star straight out of Yale, thanks to otherworldly sculptures and installations described by one curator in Chernick's film as "images that have never been in the world before." Because of his rapid rise—and because he's been given enormous sums of money by patrons to create aestheticized versions of B-movie gore effects and Cirque Du Soleil routines—Barney has become a controversial figure.
Chernick merely touches on those controversies, mainly by having Barney-supporters dismiss them, and though she shows some members of Drawing Restraint 9's Japanese crew cocking quizzical eyebrows at Barney's methods, this documentary comes squarely from a place of acceptance, not skepticism. And maybe that's the best way to approach Barney, who himself seems so low-key and agreeable. Even when he's supervising the construction of realistic body parts that he can flay on camera, he's like a guy building bookshelves in his workshop—all while nudging his buddies and asking, "Does that look level?"
Nevertheless, No Restraint misses a lot of opportunities, like the chance to contrast Barney's work with artists working on a lower budget, or to examine his positive and negative influence on modern art, or to break down an economic model based on selling off the pieces Barney discards along the way. Mainly, Chernick misses the chance to follow in the footsteps of documentarian Thomas Riedelsheimer, whose essential artist-at-work films Touch The Sound and Rivers And Tides meditate on the ephemeral nature of the creative act. What better artist for that kind of treatment than Barney, who pours thousands of pounds of congealing jelly into a tub, hoping it'll look cool when he destroys it?

Following their most widely received LP to date with the 2013-released, The Fleshland, Tokyo, Japan's COFFINS have confirmed a new American invasion this Spring.
COFFINS will bring their diseased, suffocating death-doom decimation back to this side of the Pacific once again in May with a special mini-tour, marking a four-year gap since their previous stateside visit. Bringing forth bulldozing hymns from The Fleshland in addition to their brutal back-catalog of mid-paced grave digging metal, in addition to their recently revamped lineup, beginning May 18th, COFFINS will plunder Chicago, Cleveland, Brooklyn and Philadelphia before closing down the run with their return to Maryland Deathfest in Baltimore on May 22nd, their first time storming MDF since their set at the 2010 edition of the event. COFFINS will be provided with support from Chicago death'n'rollers, Bones, on the tour dates leading up to Deathfest.
COFFINS 2014 U.S. Tour Dates:
5/18/2014 Reggie's – Chicago, IL w/ Bones
5/19/2014 Now That's Class – Cleveland, OH w/ Bones
5/20/2014 Saint Vitus Bar – Brooklyn, NY w/ Bones
5/21/2014 Kung Fu Knife Shop – Philadelphia, PA w/ Bones
5/22/2014 Maryland Deathfest – Baltimore, MD
Their first LP for Relapse Records, The Fleshland shows COFFINS smashing down everything in their path with nine new grisly tracks, laying down over forty-five minutes of low-end, sludge-infiltrated, plodding, doom, captured with some of the best production values in the band's meaty catalog of carnage, recorded at Tokyo's Noise Room Studio with engineer Shigenori Kobayashi, and produced by Bungo Uchino and the rest of COFFINS. The Fleshland is available on CD, download and 2xLP. Stream the entire album and order all versions HERE.
Critical Praise:
"Tokyo's Coffins have been at it steadily for nearly two decades, never bringing the tempos above a deathly lurch and unironically keeping it sick/staying brutal." – Decibel
"…Japanese death metal yakuza Coffins have carved out a long and fruitful career by out-Autopsying Autopsy." – Pitchfork

**** Formerly Clevestinks!****i como enormes senos
Got some wings recipes. *** burner as they may be. Also a crock pot wings recipe.
I'm blind, I'm deaf, I wanna be a ref! Get on your knees ref your blowing the game!
Big thank you to pa state Daryl Metcalfe. For doing the right thing.
If your looking for convince Moore's Buffalo wing sauce. I use the medium it's really good. I don't make my own sauce anymore since I found this stuff. If you do wings you should try it.

Actually his sister in law makes good wings....i think we are looking for something different we do this for every game..and we have had the wings, pizza, subs, pasta, taco bar, hot dogs and chili etc...everything you can imagine....want some new and different ideas...but easy and cheap at the same time
This is my wife's recipe but it is always a big hit at party's. She also has two awesome Sweet n Sour Meatball recipes if you are interested in that.
Pepperoni Cheese Bread
Frozen Bread Dough
Thin sliced sandwich pepperoni
Thin sliced Cooper sharp cheese from the deli (any sharp cheese will do, but this is my fav)
Rub Frozen bread dough with oil, let sit at room temp until thawed and risen
Roll out bread dough with rolling pin, into a rectangle
layer with think slices of pepperoni
then layer with cheese
leaving a 1/4 inch margin on edges
Roll length ways liek a jelly roll
pinch edges well to seal
spread with softened butter and sprinkle with garlic powder adn parmesan cheese
bake until golden brown, about 30-45 mins
SLice into pinwheels and ENJOY!
I usually make 3 of these at a time.
We make the Roethlis burger everytime they show Steelers on television here in denmark Its the best burger in the world, period!
However much you think you know about football, rest assured that Skip Bayless knows more!
Didn't see it on the menu you listed but how bout some ham BBQ's ...definitely cheap and easy to make. Check in the recipe section and there is one for Buffalo Chicken dip that is again real easy and very tasty.

Tonight I'm posting three images of Brazilian Novelist Paulo Coelho taken by Photographer Marcos Borges from Odense, Denmark as he was presenting the caricature portrait I did of Mr. Coelho from a photograph taken by Marcos as a gift. Marcos also got the Writer to autograph two other matted copies for Marcos and myself. It should be on the way in the mail now. Looking forward to it. Below is the completed portrait and source image as well as an interview with Mr. Coelho.
Marcos presenting the portrait to Paulo Coelho
The finished manipulated caricature of Brazilian Novelist Paulo Coelho. The original image was taken by Photographer Marcos Borges from Odense, Denmark. Marcos has plans to take the image to Mr. Coelho and get it autographed...actually two copies, one for each of us. I like guy's features. He was a lot of fun. One of the few that went real fast. Below is the original source image. Before this there was a liquify sketch posted here.

Welcome to our coverage of WWE Judgment Day. We will be updating this page throughout the evening, so check back often for results and coverage of the show.
The Free-For-All was the usual collection of recap packages, hosted by Jack Korpela. Yeah, I don't remember seeing him before either, but he looks a lot younger than Josh Mathews. Maybe the Free-For-All gig is like being in Menudo, and once you reach a certain age, they replace you with someone younger.
WWE Judgment Day
The PPV opened with a video package focusing on the three major title (WWE, World, ECW) matches tonight, with a big hunk of time spent on the Great Khali. The three announce teams, all stationed at ringside, then welcomed us to the show and put over their respective main events.
Ric Flair vs. Carlito.
Carlito threw his apple at Flair as he came to the ring. Flair hit some chops at the bell, with Carlito trying to respond with punches. Carlito went for a sunset flip, but Flair dropped down on him and hit a series of punches. Flair continued the assault of punches and chops, then backdropped Carlito, who went to the floor to regroup. Carlito suckered Flair into reaching over the top rope to grab at him, and yanked Flair's arm down across the top rope as he jumped from the apron go the floor. Carlito went to work on the arm, stomping it and applied an overhead wristlock. Carlito used a hammerlock on the arm, but Flair backed Carlito into a corner to break out. Carlito threw punches at Flair's arm, then drove some elbows into it from the floor while stretching the arm over the ring apron.
Carlito threw Flair shoulder first into the turnbuckles, then hit a series of rights, and did it again before scoring a two count. Carlito hit a kneedrop on the arm. Carlito wrapped Flair's arm around the bottom rope and yanked on it, then whipped it into the steel ringpost from the floor. Carlito did it a second time, and then dropkicked the arm against the ringpost. Back in the ring, Carlito dropped an elbow on the arm, then slammed Flair. Flair rallied with some chops, but Carlito went after the arm again, then dropkicked Flair in the face as he was slumped in the corner. Carlito scored a two count, then applied an armbar. Flair rallied again with some chops, but Carlito threw a series of rights and wrapped the arm around the top rope and yanked on it. Carlito snapmared Flair and applied the armbar again. Flair armdragged out of it, but Carlito hit him with a clothesline for a two count, then stomped the arm and dropped an elbow on it.
Carlito elbowed Flair's shoulder repeatedly, then sunk in the armbar again. Flair armdragged out, and clutched his left arm. Carlito nailed him with a dropkick for a two count. Carlito threw Flair into a corner, but Flair threw a chop at him. Flair rallied with more chops, finally knocking Carlito to the mat, to a pop from the crowd. Flair chopped him down again, but Carlito backdropped Flair for a two count, which Flair escaped by yanking Carlito off by the hair. Carlito went back to the armbar, pulling Flair's hair at one point, so the referee made him break the hold. Carlito then sunk it back in, and raked Flair's face, so he had to break it again. Carlito then reapplied, then switched to an overhead wristlock. Flair yelled in pain from the armbar, but armdragged out and chopped Carlito down. Flair hit a kick to the gut, chopped him, then punched Carlito to the mat. Flair snapmared Carlito and kicked him in the side of the head.
Flair chopped Carlito against the ropes, then hit a reverse elbow and let out a "Whoo!". Flair backdropped Carlito, then chopblocked his knee, to a pop. Flair chopped and punched Carlito in a corner, but Carlito poked him in the eyes. Carlito went for a Backcracker, but Flair held onto the top rope and Carlito crashed down on his back. Flair started stomping Carlito's knee, then hit a kneedrop to the leg. Flair kicked the legs, then applied the figure four leglock to a pop. The crowd was really into the figure four, which was applied in the center of the ring. Carlito struggled, then tapped out at the 16-minute mark.
Winner: Ric Flair.
The crowd gave Flair a big ovation following the match.
Backstage, Todd Grisham interviewed Shawn Michaels. They recapped what happened on Raw last week before Michaels could comment. Michaels talked about the "rumor" that he wouldn't be here. Before he could continue, Randy Orton jumped Michaels from behind and rammed him face first into the metal grid that made up the interview set. Michaels fell to the ground, clutching his face, and WWE Official Tony Garea ran in as Orton just walked off. Michaels kept clutching his face as they went to a video package on the Lashley-McMahon feud.
ECW World Champion Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon & Umaga vs. Bobby Lashley.
Yep, Vince actually put himself second on the show. Tazz and Joey Styles got the call for this one (which makes sense, being that the Raw team has three matches of their own to call tonight and it is for the ECW Title). All three members of Team McMahon had their own entrances again.
Lashley knocked Umaga over the top rope and then decked Shane as the bell rang. Lashley started pounding Vince, but Shane hit him from behind. Lashley tossed him away, knocked Umaga off the apron, then went after Vince again as he tried to crawl out of the ring, but Shane hit Lashley from behind and delivered some punches. Lashley tossed Shane in the corner and pounded him. Umaga went to avalanche Lashley from behind, but Lashley moved and Umaga squashed Shane in the corner. Lashley hit Umaga with a spear, then powerslammed Shane for the pin at about the one minute mark. Vince was on the floor, stunned.
Winner: Bobby Lashley.
Vince, who lost his do-rag and has very short hair now, stared at Lashley from the aisle. Umaga got back in the ring and attacked Lashley, laying him out with the Samoan Spike. Vince grabbed the ECW Title belt, and said that while Lashley won the handicap match, he isn't getting the title until he beats him. Vince announced that he is still the ECW World Champion, and left with the belt. As Joey Styles noted, because he owns the place, Vince is still the champion.
Backstage, the doctor was telling a woozy Shawn Michaels that he cannot go out and wrestle tonight. Michaels was too dazed to even respond.
CM Punk vs. Elijah Burke.
Punk had his ribs heavily taped. Burke came to the ring alone. There was a chant for CM Punk at the start. Punk applied a waistlock at the start, but Burke reversed and went for the ribs, but Punk hit a forearm and a kick. Punk applied a headlock, but Burke hit him in the ribs. Punk delivered a leg kick, and they struggled into a corner, with neither man getting an advantage. They locked up and Burke hit some punches to the ribs in the corner, then decked him with a shot to the face. Burke kicked at the ribs, but Punk reversed a whip and hit a kick to the gut, then snapmared Burke and kicked him in the back. Punk slammed Burke for a one count, then applied a reverse chinlock. Burke armdragged out of it and hit some shots to the ribs, then a knee to the gut.
Burke went for a slam, but Punk floated over and hit a pair of kicks to the body, then threw Burke with an exploder for a two count. Punk hit a pair of forearms in the corner, then a kick to the chest. Punk hit a running clothesline in the corner, then gave Burke a delayed vertical suplex for a two count. Punk went back to the chinlock, but Burke hit some elbows to the gut, then delivered a series of punches to the ribs before tagging him with one to the face again. Punk reversed a whip and hit some shots of his own. Burke leapfrogged Punk after a whip, but Punk jumped onto the second rope and hit a reverse bodypress. Burke kicked out at two, then went after the ribs again, hitting a shoulderblock. Punk kneed a charging Burke, then went for a jumping knee in the corner, but Burke dumped him over the top rope and to the floor. When Punk was getting back into the ring, he slid under Burke and pulled him down into a sunset flip for a two count.
Punk applied a side headlock to Burke, but Burke shoved it off. Punk hit a shoulderblock, then the two traded hiptoss reversals until Punk scooped up Burke into a fireman's carry. Burke grabbed the top rope to avoid the Go To Sleep, so Punk tossed Burke over the top rope. Burke landed on the apron, and Punk hit the old Chris Jericho second rope springboard dropkick, knocking Burke to the floor. Punk then dove between the ropes to hit Burke with the elbow suicida. Back in the ring, Burke poked Punk in the eyes, but ran into a Punk boot. Punk went to the top rope, but Burke pulled him down hard into the ring and then drove a knee into the ribs for a two count. Burke started ripping the tape off of Punk's ribs. Burke hung Punk on the top rope and kicked him right in the rings, then got a two count. Burke applied a bodyscissors on Punk. Punk got out with some elbows, but Burke hit a vertical suplex and a back suplex, then scored a two count. For some reason, ringside fans were yelling at JBL, chanting at him.
Burke went back to the bodyscissors, but Punk fought out of it. They both went for kicks, then Punk grabbed a suplex attempt, but Burke turned it into an inside cradle for a two count. Punk ran into a Burke boot, and Burke went to the top rope. Punk stopped Burke, and the two battled on the rope. Punk hit a top rope superplex, which got the crowd back into the match. Both men were slow to get up, then started trading shots, Punk hit a pair of clotheslines, slid under Burke after he reversed a whip, and hit an enzugiri for two count. Punk hit a jumping knee in the corner, but as he went for a bulldog, Burke shoved him gut first into the corner. Burke went for the Elijah Express, but Punk moved out of the way and he smashed in the corner. Punk went for the Go To Sleep, but Burke hit him in the ribs and got out of it. Elijah Experience (STO) for a two count. Burke sat Punk on the top rope, facing away from the ring, and hit the Elijah Express (double jumping knee) to the back. Punk fell backwards into the tree of woe, and Burke charged in again. Burke covered, but Punk got his hand on the ropes. Burke lifted up Punk for another Elijah Experience, but Punk blocked it and hit the Go To Sleep (fireman's carry into a knee to the face) for the pin at the sixteen minute mark.
Winner: CM Punk.

To: The Faroe Islands Prime Minister Kaj Leo Johannesen
During the summer months, inhabitants of the Faroe Islands - a group of islands under the sovereignty of Denmark, situated roughly halfway between Norway and Iceland - celebrate a cultural tradition called the grindadrap or the "grind," literally translated as "whale murder."
Faroese whalers perpetrate the traditional butchery by surrounding entire pods of whales and dolphins with motor boats and driving them into the shallows -- where other residents are waiting for the kill. Disoriented, exhausted and terrified, the animals are forced to beach themselves. Reveling islanders use blunt-ended metal hooks to spear the whales' blowholes and drag them up the beach. Then they murder the helpless animals with a knife cut to their major blood vessels.
During this summer's cruel and unnecessary grind, Faroese residents slaughtered over 460 pilot whales.
Prime Minister Johannesen, it is already common knowledge that whales and dolphins are highly intelligent, socially complex, and peaceful marine mammals. Since 1982, the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats has listed Cetaceans in Appendix II (List of strictly protected species) and in Appendix III (List of protected species).
There is no justification for killing them.
Each islander receives only about 22 pounds of whale meat a year for the slaughter to be convincingly rationalized as aboriginal subsistence whaling. Alarming levels of mercury, cadmium and other contaminants are found in whale and dolphin meat so it cannot pass EU health standards for human food, consequently, it cannot be exported. Much of the meat is dumped and left to rot.
The grindadrap continues exclusively for the sake of tradition.
As the Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands, you have the power to put an end to this barbaric tradition once and for all. We appeal to you to recognize the mounting international condemnation of the grindadrap, and to prohibit the slaughtering of dolphins and whales in the Faroe Islands.

This tutorial is the first in a series designed to introduce Linear Algebra, a field of mathematics that is highly applicable to a number of areas related to programming and computer science. Some of these areas include scientific and numerical computing, graph theory, economics, number theory, dynamical systems, graphics programming, and more.
In this tutorial, the concepts of Vector Spaces and Subspaces will be introduced. I apologize that this tutorial will focus more on the abstracts than on applications, but I will try to keep future tutorials more focused on applications of interest than abstraction.
Vector Spaces
Let's start out with Vector Spaces. A Vector Space is a set of a Vectors. When dealing with other areas of math, the foci are sets of numbers like the integers, the rationals, or the reals. Vector Spaces are analogous to these in Linear Algebra. Vector Spaces are defined over a given Field, which is an algebraic construct. Generally speaking, Vector Spaces are defined over the Real or Complex number systems.
Just as there are operations defined on other number systems like addition and multiplication, Vector Spaces have operations as well. Addition is defined on two vectors, and is closed. That means for any two vectors a and b in the Vector Space, the resultant vector of a + b is also in the Vector Space. Multiplication is defined on a vector in the Vector Space, and a scalar constant from the Field. This operation is also closed, so ka is also in the Vector Space, where k is the scalar and a is in the Vector Space. Looking at it more abstractly, the integers don't form a Field, though this is better addressed in the context of Abstract Algebra.
Now let's look at some of the other properties of Vector Spaces. For the sake of brevity, let's call the Vector Space in question V.
- Commutativity of Addition: So for a, b in V, a + b = b + a.
- Associativity of Addition and Scalar Multiplication: So for a, b, c in V, a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c); and for real-valued scalars x, y: x(ya) = (xy)a
- Distribution: So for a, b in V and real-valued scalars x, y: x(a + b) = xa + xb; and a(x + y) = xa + ya
- Multiplicative Identity: There is an element x in the Field, such that for any vector a in V, xa = a.
- Additive Identity: This property states that every vector a in V has an additive inverse ~a, which is also in V. Thus, a + ~a = 0, where 0 is the 0-vector. By closure under addition, this implies that 0 is contained in all vector spaces.
A lot of these properties should sound familiar from high school algebra, so that familiarity will be useful in Linear Algebra. Now let's examine a couple examples of vector spaces.
Two-dimensional real space (R2) is probably the most familiar. This is the standard (x,y) coordinate system. Let's look at some of the Vector Space properties. It's easy to see that it is closed under addition. Consider two vectors a, b from R2. Let a = (x, y), b = (c, d). Thus, a + b = (x + c, y + d), which falls in the Vector Space of all points in R2. Similarly, all vectors have additive inverses. If a vector is in the first-quadrant, its additive inverse is in the third quadrant. Similarly, vectors in the second quadrant have additive inverses in the fourth quadrant. The other properties are easy to verify, and will be left for you to verify.
The Polynomials of degree n (denoted Pn(F), where F is the Field) also constitute a vector space. Since the coefficients of like terms are added, two polynomials of degree n will add to another polynomial of degree n, thus it is closed under vector addition. Under the distributive law, take a in Pn(F), and scalars x and y: a(x + y) = ax + ay, as the coefficients are just adjusted. For example, 3x(3 + 2) = 9x + 6x = 15x, while 3x(5) = 15x. Similarly, 3(4x + 6x) = 12x + 18x = 3(10x) = 30x.
Hopefully this provides more intuition for vector spaces. To show that a vector set is not a vector space, it is only necessary to find a vector space property that does not hold.
A Subspace is a subset of a Vector Space, and is itself a Vector Space. As such, there are only three properties that need to hold to conclude that a given vector set is a subspace of the Vector Space V. The properties include closure under addition, closure under scalar multiplication, and the 0 vector being included in the subspace.
As is implied by the term "subset," Subspaces often times don't contain all the vectors in the parent vector space. Consider the Vector Space R3, which is three-dimensional real space (the standard (x, y, z) coordinate system). A one-dimensional subspace of R3 might be a line containing vectors k*(1, 1, 1), where k is a real-valued scalar. Similarly, the plane (x, y, 0), for any real-valued x, y coordinates, is a two-dimensional subspace of R3. Note that even though the subspaces have a smaller dimension than the vector space (dimension will be more formally introduced in a later tutorial), the vectors in the subspace still belong to the vector space. In other words, even though the plane (x, y, 0) seems to be the standard (x, y) coordinate system, it is not true that R2 is a subspace of R3.
The next 1-2 tutorials in the sequence will introduce the concepts of Linear (In)dependence, Span, Basis, and Dimension, where the direct relations to computer science topics are more clear. In the meantime, I hope that you found this tutorial helpful. Vector Spaces are abstract, and these concepts require practice to really get a good grasp on them. However, Vector Spaces are the foundation for future tutorials, so it is necessary to start with them.

With the rise in global value chains (international supply chains) it seems more reliable to judge trade and competition based on value-added during each step of manufacturing process than total value of final products imported or exported from countries. Pascal Lamy argues that concluding on the scale of competition from existing volume of imports overstates the competition between trading countries' factors of production. Focusing on total value of exports or imports gives a distorted picture of trade imbalances. We need to look at domestic value addition to gauge that. It would change the debate on macroeconomic imbalances and exchange rate changes.
[…] The question of "who produces what for whom", and "where the value added is accruing" are perhaps as important as the traditional concept of country of origin, which guides not only custom statistics, but the application of the core WTO principle of Most Favoured Nation.
[…] with the fragmentation of production, the share of value added by factors of production of the origin country in traded products is considerably lower than in the past. This growth in the trade of parts and components means that import statistics will overstate the degree of competition that comes from one's trade partners.
[…] by focusing on gross values of exports and imports, traditional trade statistics also gives us a distorted picture of trade imbalances between countries. The picture would be different if we took account of how much domestic valued added is embedded in these flows.
[…]correcting macroeconomic imbalances does not pass through correcting bilateral trade deficits, as the use of trade statistics in value added clearly reveals.
[…]When products include many parts made in many other countries, the effect of an isolated exchange rate appreciation or depreciation to the selling price in export markets will be reduced to the domestic content of these exports, to its "value added content". This may explain why empirical studies about the impact of exchange rate changes on imbalances tend to show they only have limited or ambiguous effects.
Here is a webpage related to analyzing trade in value added. Below is the trade balance in iphones for the US (US$ million). With traditional measure the trade balance concerns only with China. But, with value added measure, US trade deficit with China in iphone is very low and is spread across many countries (US trade deficit with Japan is the highest in iphone).
