TSP gains lag in May
After solid showings in March and April, Thrift Savings Plan funds lost a little steam last month, according to new data from the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board. Overall, two of the five regular funds posted ended May in negative territory, including the F Fund (the bond market) and the I Fund (international stocks). The F Fund is down 0.76 percent for the year.

Worried about retirement? Join the club
Feds who are already retired (and those who plan to retire someday soon) have several worries, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says. For those about to take the plunge, the concern is the backlog of applications at the Office of Personnel Management. For those already on the roles the fear is that future benefit increases will be downsized each year.

Self-plus-one health insurance: How come?
What does Jackass: The Movie have to do with the federal health plan, considered the nation's biggest and best? Well it boils down to the risk pool and an administration plan to set up a third category for self-plus-one coverage, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.

'Unchained CPI Melody' bums some
When it comes to those annual cost-of-living adjustments, a growing number of federal workers and retirees actually get diet COLAs each January.

Fast-tracking phased retirement
It's been nearly a year since Congress set up the program to allow employees to take phased retirement, working three or four days a week to help mentor their successors and get used to retirement.

I am totally delighted
March 30, 2013
Reviewer: David Sayen from Alameda, CA United States
I have had local Jewelers try to reproduce family heirlooms with poor results. After years of looking at the ad in Sky Mlall I took the plunge. I sent photos of my family crest, my crest Ring that is 100 years old, even a photo of a Tiffany window that has our crest. They customized the design, and when I approved the drawing I though okay, not great. But when the cuff links came I was amazed how beautiful they are. Happy Camper and I will be back.

Reviewer: Steven Frederickson from Leesburg, VA United States
I am a jewelry collector and know precision, quality and service. From the moment I called with the request to do research on my family crest, to when I received my cuff links, my experience was outstanding. The service and attention placed on my requests for family crest design was commendable. The cuff links are absolutely perfect. I will be ordering many other products as a result. Thank you John Christian.

Why do the earth and other huge celestial bodies possess gravity?
The Attraction between two bodies having mass has been defined as Gravitation. And as the word Gravitation suggests, it works on Point of Gravity of the bodies. From, as Newton Explained this attraction force,
it is clear that this force depends upon the mass of two bodies (M &m, say) and the shortest distance (r) between bodies.
But the question, which influence mind that WHY do they perform this kind of attraction? As far I know, this is due to a ghost particle, which works on bodies, one to other and vice versa. This ghost particle has been named as Graviton. And the attraction has been explained on the basis of exchange of GRAVITONS similar to nuclear forces on one hand and on the curvature of the gravitational field on the other. We should remember that the concept of gravitons is just a fact. May be true or untrue.
As my best knowledge tells me, Graviton is a ghost (hypothetical) elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitation in the framework of quantum field theory.
If the concept of Graviton is true, then according to Quantum field theory:
¤The graviton must be massless because the gravitational force has unlimited range.
¤The graviton must have a spin of 2. This is because the source of gravitation is the stress-energy tensor , a second-rank tensor, compared to electromagnetism, the source of which is the four- current , a first-rank tensor.
Additionally, it can be shown that any massless spin-2 field would be indistinguishable from gravitation, because a massless spin-2 field must couple to ( interact with) the stress-energy tensor in the same way that the gravitational field does.
This suggests that if a massless spin-2 particle is discovered, it must be the graviton, so that the only experimental verification needed for the graviton may simply be the discovery of a massless spin-2 particle.
Gravitons are postulated because of the great success of quantum field theory (in particular, the Standard Model).
The hypothesis is that the gravitational interaction is likewise mediated by a – yet undiscovered – elementary particle, dubbed the graviton , instead of being described in terms of curved spacetime as in general relativity . In the classical limit , both approaches give identical results, which are required to conform to Newton's law of gravitation.

The plan for economic recovery must ensure future economic resilience. We are looking at how the big levers of private finance, public spending, taxation and regulation can be used to accelerate the development of a sustainable economic model.
Despite recession, our infographic Green economy: a UK success story shows that the UK's green economic sector is still growing strong. Worth £122 billion in 2011 (9.3% of GDP) it provides nearly a million jobs. And, in Green growth at a a glance, we provide a picture of how the UK's green economy compares with Germany.
Government subsidies, for instance for ISAs and pensions, amount to around £40 billion a year, yet there are no conditions attached to this support to ensure the investment is responsible and sustainable. This is a major opportunity to use these powerful levers to build a stronger more sustainable economy.
Read our report: Saving for a sustainable future
We need to change the way we tax, to reduce taxes on things that are valued by society, like jobs, profits and incomes, and increase them on things society does not like, such as pollution and fossil fuel use.
Would a fuel duty stabiliser really be fair? Making aviation pay its way
We research and report on what is necessary for a sustainable economic transition. We regularly invite leading thinkers and senior politicians to debate at our events and write for our journal Inside Track on issues around the development of a greener economy. Find out more at the links below:

New flu vaccine announced for winter season
The US Food and Drug Administration on Monday announced the new formulation of the 2012-2013 seasonal flu season based on strains currently circulating worldwide but not yet in this country. While the immunization will contain the same H1N1 "swine flu" strain from the previous two years, it also contains two new strains for viruses that we have no protection against.
The 2011 flu vaccine was identical to the one produced for 2010, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still advised everyone to get their annual vaccination since immunization can wane over time.
By "everyone," the government means all individuals over six months of age, but those with severe egg allergies or who have had a severe reaction to a previous flu vaccination shouldn't receive the shot, according to the CDC.
Pregnant women, young children, and seniors, however, should make an extra effort to get immunized since they have a higher risk of developing life-threatening complications from the flu.
About 200,000 hospitalizations due to flu-related complications occur every year, and deaths from the virus range from 3,000 a year to 49,000 a year depending on the severity of the circulating strains.
"The best way to prevent influenza is by getting vaccinated each year," said Dr. Karen Midthun, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, in a statement. "It is especially important to get vaccinated this year because two of the three virus strains used in this season's influenza vaccines differ from the strains included in last year's vaccines."
That said, there's still the possibility that other virus strains may be circulating, so sometimes the vaccine isn't a perfect match. Also, the vaccine doesn't work in everyone; those who are sick with a fever, says the CDC, should avoid getting immunized until they're well to increase the efficacy of the vaccine.
Clinics and doctors' office throughout the state should start offering the vaccine beginning in early fall. The mylocalclinic.com website will have a list of where to get a vaccine.

"It's really red."
This was Janice's response when I asked her what colour we were painting my nails last week. Yes, it's really red. Seriously. I've never worn red on my nails, toes maybe. Creamy tomato soup came to mind whenever I looked at my nails, that, or cherries. The artificial kind you'd taste whilst savouring a Jolly Rancher. Yum.
To be honest, I always associated red nails with ladies of the night. Red is vibrant, daring, alluring – adjectives I would never use to describe myself. It's pretty liberating to wear something which challenges your own comfort level. For instance, my friend Sally asked me what sorts of colours she should wear on her lips and cheeks; this goes back to your comfort level and how daring you want to be. I ended up telling Sally to pinch her cheeks to see what colour she was left with and for her lips to wear what her heart desires.
Essie's Really Red is a creamy formula, becomes opaque after applying two coats and lasts well between base and top coats. Cherry pie perfection.

Media Release – 11 November 2011
Real estate offers many benefits for investors, and its continued strong performance has made it the preferred investment option for many Australians. But, First National Real Estate National Communications Manager, Mr Stewart Bunn, says it takes more than good luck to maximise your returns from investment properties.
"Property investment is still a popular option, representing a rock solid, secure and long-term method of creating wealth and growing capital," Mr Bunn said.
"In fact, property has delivered an average 12 per cent return for the past 24 years, even before tax and maintenance costs, so it's not surprising that a recent survey shows 59 per cent of home buyers and investors plan to purchase an investment property in the next year.
"That's probably because Australian property performed exceptionally well throughout the GFC and still shows great resilience in the face of share market gyrations.
"But for investors to maximise the financial benefits of their property they need to look at their investment as more than just collecting rent or striking a deal on management fees."
According to Mr Bunn, the crucial component for a successful rental property yield is to appoint a trusted and reliable property manager.
"A good property manager is one that provides expert advice on the opportunities available for them to take advantage of to improve the yield of their property investment portfolios," Mr Bunn said.
"At First National, we have an in-depth knowledge of the local market and can assist with the two most important criteria when choosing an investment property – location and quality."
Mr Bunn said properties located close to transport, schools, place of work, shops and recreational facilities are in greater demand and usually command a higher rental.
However, investors should not be afraid to look beyond inner city properties as lower priced outer suburbs can produce higher yields and frequently enjoy strong demand from prospective tenants.
"It is also wise to maintain your asset in good repair and ensure it is well presented. That way, rent is maximised, vacancy periods reduced and a high standard of tenant is attracted, who will ensure their rent is paid on time.
"Sometimes, simple improvements like a fresh coat of paint in bathrooms and kitchens, or installing new window coverings, can make the world of difference."
As an experienced property manager, supported by rigorous processes and systems, First National provides the highest standard of advice to investors, backed by leading edge technologies that match tenants to vacant properties and comprehensive marketing programs.
"First National uses the latest technologies and prides itself on getting the best results in the shortest time," Mr Bunn said.
"A professionally prepared tax depreciation schedule can also play an important role in the efficient management of your investment."

The first time I viewed this acclaimed cult classic, John Mussari's ominous circus synth soundtrack, grizzled Officer Mooney (John Vernon) turned into a klown merrionette, and the corrosive cream pie death of the security guard each made a frightful impact on me! Not only that, I developed a short-lived repulsion to cotton candy after seeing the homicidal Klowns in action! Now, that I'm older, wiser, and even more desensitized, I've begun to see "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" as 70% comedy/30% horror since this film does boast some of the most baffoonish dialogue and action I've seen in a B-movie. Mike (Grant Cramer), Officer Mooney, and the hilariously inept Terrenzi Bros. (Peter Licassi & Mike Siegel) give just the right amount of comedic chemistry needed against the story's spooky premise. The Klowns themselves do offer a couple of cheesy chuckles via the duplicitous "child's play" antics they use to capture and expunge the town populace for their own vampiric food supply. And one just cannot get over the elaborately designed circus tent sets, props, and klown costumes! The theme song video feature by The Dickies is also pretty darn cool. All in all, this indelible pic proves that 1988 was a gem year for the horror genre.
I have been fortunate enough to obtain a previously-viewed copy of KKFOS this year after a near-exhaustive search on the Web! I found it through Amazon's zShop site, which may still have some English-version copies left (knowing that this film has become a rare find both in retail and rental). I wish Media Home Entertainment/HVG Video would get off their languid behinds and re-release the Klowns on VHS widescreen or DVD seeing that the Killer Klowns cult is bigger than they probably realize.
Believe it or not, a Klown sequel is in the planning stages according to the Chiodo Bros' official website (as well as a coveted email I received last year from Stephen himself)...so keep on watching the skies for more intergalatic Big Top mayhem and laughs!
The movie isn't particularly scary, although I do remeber finding it very freaky when I was younger. People who have a phobia of clowns should probably stay away from this movie though, because as the title suggests thay are the stars of the show. It is worth watching for the inventive and amusing ways in which the "Klowns" Kill and cocoon their victims alone. But as it happens the film also has a lot more to offer as well. Try as hard as you can to get hold of this movie because it really is a classic. It took me a couple of years of searching but now i've got it and it was definately worth the effort.
According to the press releases from MGM, the DVD will be a full Special Edition and presented in anamorphic widescreen (16:9 enhanced) in the 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio.
Additional features on the DVD: deleted scenes, a storyboard gallery, a photo gallery, the original theatrical trailer, a "making-of" documentary (supposedly with "home-movie" footage), director's commentary by the Chiodo Brothers, behind-the-scenes material on composing the film's score, a visual effects commentary, a "director's reflection on the film", English/French/Spanish Mono Audio (it was mono in the theaters), and French/Spanish subtitles.
Maybe the VHS is 1.33:1 full frame. I don't know because I don't buy VHS any more. Regardless, the DVD should be quite nice for fans of the film.
The fullscreen version is probably just unmatted anyway (not really P&S). Wait for the disc to compare.

A prototype for management of data in Open Source forges
Forges are usually plenty of information, not always well-connected and stored. Thus, the search of information in these unstructured sources becomes a challenge for communities administrators and even for the developers or users. The result achieved and demostrated through this prototype mitigates the current situation, promising more efficient searching of forges. The prototype includes three different but complementary tools: conceptual search, semantic search and semantic navigator.
Conceptual search allows users query the information stored not by single terms, but by selecting a specific concept of the terms entered. Users should use this tool when not knowing the exact term that will bring up the information is looking for, but knowing the concept. Two types of search are available:
- Simple search. After writing on the form (i.e. java) it can be automatically seen a list of possible unaware but related concepts for the user (an Island, a beverage, or a platform)
- Advanced search and suggestions. Selecting a concept we can see the list of related results. Besides It is possible to filter results by a specific title, date, author and commitment.
Semantic Search is the frontend utility that takes advantage of the extracted information and allows users to perform queries searching for very specific results. Using this tool, users can select what kind of information are looking for (issues, sources, documents, etc.), which fields of the selected kind of information wants to be shown at the result page, and which are the conditions that the selected item must meet. The result page will show the selected fields among with a link to the original source of information. The result is also integrated with the semantic navigator, establishing a stating point for a navigation. This tool should be used when trying to find information that should meet certain known constraints.
Semantic Navigator is a tool that allows users viewing what is on the semantic repository and become aware of unknown relationships following the semantic links between entities. To start a navigation, it is necessary to establish a starting point. This can be done using the semantic search, performing a query using an embedded simple search, or selecting a known entity from the whole list of objects. The tool will show a representation of the information stored at the semantic repository regarding the starting entity: the properties of the object and its relation with other entities. The user can expand the hyperbolic tree through the links to discover more related semantic data. The semantic navigator tool is recommended when not knowing exactly what is looking for, but knowing that should have something to do with certain object, or when wishing to watch all semantic data regarding an object.
Download factsheet about information management for deeper understanding
Pre-conditions and requirements
These are the hardware and software requirements for the server repository:
- Server machine able to run Java 1.4.2 or higher including 2 GB RAM, 10GB free disk and internet connection
- Java virtual machine version 1.4.2 or higher
- J2EE application server (Tomcat 4.1 for example)
- MySQL database server 5.1
Associated documentation
- Installation and configuration guide for semantic repository
- User and installation guide for advanced information tools
- User and installation guide for information extractors
The prototype consist of 3 types of tools that you can find described here. Below the direct links to the online demonstration of them.
If you wish to donwload the source code for local installation and configuration, please follow the instructions at Documentation section and download herethe code.
Learned lessons
Conceptual search realizes the wishes of the user even before they can understand them, and this is a value for all the current search tools. Besides, these tools give you the possibility to establish a commitment after intelligence models expands its contents.
Maturity Level (1-5)
The overall maturity of the prototype is 3. This prototype is the result of a hard work on innovation through the development of several semantic tools and the aggregated work of the QualiPSo team.

"I felt this was a really good start, but I had to adjust quite a few things. I had to use quite a bit more sugar and cinnamon for the apples than it called for, then I had to more than double the top..." See moreping. I also used a gluten free flour blend (brown rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato starch) instead of straight rice flour. The results were fantastic, and because I am gluten intolerant, I plan to use this topping recipe for all my crisps. Very good, thanks for sharing!"

There are some people who live in a dream world, some who face reality, and those that turn one into the other.
Lady Revivers
As aforementioned, Victorian women were, for one of a number of possible reasons, frequently afflicted by fainting fits. Whilst indoors this might be easy enough to remedy, however, a sudden fit whilst out and about might prove more perilous. Thus, Police constables of the era were equipped with small vials of smelling salts in small containers adorned with a crown - called Lady Revivers - to revive women in the streets.

HoopsHype.com RumorsBrian ScalabrineVisit the HoopsHype Forums to discuss the latest news and rumors in the NBA. |
» Tuesday, January 22 2013 |
Scalabrine, who retired over the summer after a very serviceable 11-year NBA career, took on four of Boston's best ballers in 98.5 The Sports Hub's 1-on-1 "Scallenge," put on by morning hosts Toucher & Rich. Listeners sent in their try-out videos, showing off their skills and talking some trash towards Scal, but it turns out even Boston's best was no match for Scalabrine. He said before the "Scallenge" it would be no challenge, and Scalabrine did not disappoint on that proclamation. CBS Local Scalabrine — who spent the last few seasons of his career seen as the "human victory cigar" — easily defeated all four of his opponents, throwing down monstrous jams and sinking smooth jumpers as he beat them all by a combined score of 44-6. But Scal applauded his competitors for their effort. "When you go into a game you have to realize that these guys can play," Scal said of his opponents. "They're strong, they've played against guys quicker than me, they've played against guys bigger than me, they've played against guys stronger than me." CBS Local |

KC Johnson: Asked Thibodeau if he'll join Twitter since Scalabrine did: "Oh God. No chance of me joining. And I'm sorry to hear that about Scal." Twitter @KCJHoop |
» Tuesday, December 18 2012 |
Here are the details, as explained by Scal on ESPN's "Waddle and Silvy Show" in Chicago (37:30 mark): In Boston right now, we have this challenge going out. I do a radio show out there, and there are people on the street that really believe they can beat me. So we're doing tryouts for the top 10 people in Boston to play me one-on-one. And we're playing to 11. And we're gonna film it, everything. The reality of people and what they think NBA players are like. I'm the last guy on the bench and I will kick your butt if you're out on the streets. It's just the way it is. The Score Start the chant. Brian Scalabrine is in Chicago. He arrives in his role as analyst for Comcast SportsNet New England and, following his 11-year playing career, is enjoying the experience. "It's good, man," Scalabrine said by phone. "I get paid to talk about basketball. I have a little bit of fun with it. I get to tell stories, break down the game. "I loved my two years in Chicago. The people I met there and the relationships we formed and the success we had were great." Chicago Tribune |

Former Celtics reserve and fan favorite Brian Scalabrine sits down with Bill Simmons and tells him why Kevin Garnett could be the most beloved teammate in the NBA and how Rajon Rondo compares to legendary point guard Jason Kidd. Garnett is "the most hated opponent in the NBA but probably the most beloved teammate in the NBA," says Scalabrine, who played with KG in Boston from 2008 to 2010. "Talk to anybody who's been on his team -- even Big Baby who he made cry in the middle of a game." ESPN.com |

Brian Scalabrine: I'm not like closing the door on Europe, I want to go back if I have an opportunity in January. I will probably try to go back. Zona Dos Tres When did you realize that you wanted to become a basketball player? Brian Scalabrine: When I was a kid obviously -every kid dreams about playing sports when they get older but for me, the whole plan of playing basketball was to secure my education. Maybe I could go to Europe and play, maybe the NBA and see what I got. And one day become a basketball coach, that was like my goal growing up you know. I never ever really thought that I will be in the NBA so many years and have a career like the one I had. But that came you know, that was something that just happened because of my hard work and my dedication. Zona Dos Tres The last question for you. Where do you picture yourself in, let's say, ten years from now? Brian Scalabrine: That's a good question, but I will answer that question for you -I'm not a long-term planner, I'm more a short-term planner. I have that kind of mindset -what can I do now, what can I do to improve. But ten years from now I picture myself being a color commentator for the Boston Celtics, following the team around. Still working on my job, getting better and better. If I could do that for the next ten years or the next thirty years I would be really happy. That's my new goal now, be attached to basketball and learning from new players and stuff like that. That's what I think now but hey, maybe I'll play again in Europe and who know (laughs). To be honest with you I really miss playing in Europe. It was so awarding to get to play so many minutes. I miss playing forty minutes there, going to practice every day… I really miss that. Zona Dos Tres You are kind of a star for the NBA fans, and in the Internet too. How do you feel about the love that fans give to you? Brian Scalabrine: Yeah it is kind of weird, you know? They love me in Treviso, they love me in New Jersey, they love me in Boston, they love me in Chicago too. I just -I don't know whether they liked me because I'm kind of an underdog or because I did it good when I came out of the bench. I don't really understand why they love me. I do know that there are a lot of hands up out there that I truly appreciate. A guy like me -you know, I have a pretty great life now, but when I was a kid I gave up my life to basketball. When I was in college I was not hanging out at parties or anything -I just focused on basketball and when I made it to the NBA I was still focus on basketball. But you know, it was a great life for me and I really enjoy it and I truly like it. Feel the heat of the game, knowing different cultures, talking to people and media, learning from players back in the 70s and from now. But I had to work really hard to achieve everything I ever had. So I don't know if all those people understand how hard I had to work in order to make it to the NBA and the amount of dedication I put on it .If they do and they like me for that well I appreciate that love, but if they don't and for they I'm a kind of a joke or something -I don't want that love, you know.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Brian Scalabrine has turned down coaching job with Bulls and will call games for Comcast Sports New England this season, he tells Y! Sports. Twitter Adrian Wojnarowski: Scalabrine had chance to join Tom Thibodeau's coaching staff and says, "Saying no to Thibs was the hardest decision I've ever had to make." Twitter Adrian Wojnarowski: Scalabrine left open the possibility of taking a playing job overseas in January, but believes he's probably on the TV side for good now. Twitter Adrian Wojnarowski: Scalabrine isn't prepared to say he's retired from playing in the NBA but concedes, "I had zero opportunities. Not some, but zero." Twitter |

When NBA training camps open in a little over a month, there's a good chance that like the last two seasons, Brian Scalabrine will be in Deerfield, Ill., at the Berto Center with the Bulls--just not as a player. According to sources familiar with the situation, the fan favorite is in line to join Tom Thibodeau's coaching staff for the upcoming season, CSNChicago.com has learned. CSN Chicago |

Forget Michael and Magic and Wilt and Oscar and Kobe and LeBron. Sure, they have been some of the greatest players in the history of professional basketball. But they had incredible physical skills, amazing quickness and jumping ability, lithe and sinewy physiques capable of amazing movements. Though few truly heard the acclaim of fans during games quite like Brian Scalabrine. And if Scal's going out, it's with a chant and not a murmur. "I'd be discouraged if I just quit," said Scalabrine, who remains without an NBA team after being told by the Bulls he will not be invited to return. "Everyone keeps telling me it's not quitting (taking an already offered TV job). But I want someone to tell me, 'We don't want you.' I've always been a tough cut to make. I want someone to tell me I'm not good enough. I just want to see what happens." NBA.com I caught up with Scal the other day as he was doing an appearance at the Chicago Bulls/Sox Academy in suburban Lisle. He's got an offer in Europe, but now has a family with two kids. He doesn't want to leave them. He's got a nice TV offer in Boston after doing TV playoff work. Friends say to take it and don't look back. But Scalabrine isn't exactly someone who ever listened to the consensus. Because if he did, he never would have been in the Finals four times, eight times in the playoffs, and with more than a decade in the NBA totalling about $20 million in contracts. NBA.com "I don't get discouraged," Scalabrine was saying when I asked him about those fans chanting his name despite such a limited contribution. "I've heard 'I'm not good enough' plenty of times. I really don't care what people say. I don't care if people think I'm not good. It doesn't bother me. Because I think I am a good player. I know the game. And even now if someone says I suck as a broadcaster, I'm not going to be offended. "The way I look at it is if that's the case (people are mocking me), then—and no disrespect—you'd have to be an idiot," he says, getting just a tiny bit red other than in his hair. "That I won some contest to be in the NBA? Or that I don't have to fight every day? That I'm not the first guy on the floor and the first in the weight room and the last to leave? That I haven't been waking up 5:30 my whole life to train? I'd have to think you'd are an idiot to think I'm a joke. They might, which would be disappointing. Maybe it is that. But I know why I'm here." NBA.com "I don't recall exactly the winning numbers when he started or the plus/minus, but they were crazy good," said Thibodeau. "That's why to me what he brings to a team is invaluable: Readiness to play, positive attitude. He can start, come off the bench, be inactive and then if you need him he's ready. He's smart, executes on offense and defense, is not a mistake player. Whatever role you ask him to do, he does great." NBA.com |

Former Football Star Defends The Game
By editor
Mounting scientific evidence is linking football to brain trauma. While calls to increase safety measures in football are getting louder, players themselves often resist efforts to change the game. Host Michel Martin speaks with former Pro Bowl NFL player LaVar Arrington, who argues that the risks of the sport are worth it.

Was Cantor Surprised?
Fernando Q. GouvêaWe look at the circumstances and context of Cantor's famous remark, "I see it, but
I don't believe it." We argue that, rather than denoting astonishment at his result, the remark
pointed to Cantor's worry about the correctness of his proof. (Free sample pdf)
On Legendre's Work on the Law of Quadratic Reciprocity
Steven H.WeintraubLegendre was the first to state the law of quadratic reciprocity in the form in which we know it and he was able to prove it in some but not all cases, with the first complete proof being given by Gauss. In this paper we trace the evolution of Legendre's work on quadratic reciprocity in his four great works on number theory.
Equimodular Polynomials and the Tritangency Theorems of Euler, Feuerbach, and Guinand
Alexander Ryba and Joseph SternWe strengthen a result of Lehmer, obtaining a new necessary condition for the roots of a complex polynomial to have equal modulus. From this we derive the famous theorem of Feuerbach, as well as the less well-known theorems of Euler and Guinand on the tritangent centers of a triangle. The latter theorems constrain the possible locations of the incenter and excenters subject to fixed locations for the circumcenter and orthocenter.
The Sharkovsky Theorem: A Natural Direct Proof
Keith Burns and Boris HasselblattWe give a natural and direct proof of a famous result by Sharkovsky that gives a complete description of possible sets of periods for interval maps. The new ingredient is the use of Štefan sequences.
A First Look at Differential Algebra
John H. Hubbard and Benjamin E. LundellThis article is an introduction to the common algebraic methods used to study both solutions to polynomial equations and solutions to differential equations: Galois theory and differential Galois theory. We develop both theories simultaneously by studying the solutions to the polynomial equation x5- 4x2 - 2 = 0 and the solutions to the differential equation u' = t - u2.
Lines of Best Fit for the Zeros and for the Critical Points of a Polynomial
Grant KeadyCombining results presented in two papers in this MONTHLY yields the following elementary result. Any line of best fit for the zeros of a polynomial is a line of best fit for its critical points.
Regular Matchstick Graphs
Sascha Kurz and Rom PinchasiA matchstick graph is a plane geometric graph in which every edge has length 1 and no two edges cross each other. It was conjectured that no 5-regular matchstick graph exists. In this paper we prove this conjecture.
A Recursive Scheme for Improving the Original Rate of Convergence to the Euler–Mascheroni Constant
Edward ChlebusWe have used Euler–Maclaurin summation to develop a recursive scheme for modifying the original approximation for the Euler–Mascheroni constant γ. Convergence to γ resulting from successively employing the proposed scheme has been significantly accelerated while the form of the approximation originally introduced by Euler is still preserved.

9.1 Policy. To the degree possible vacation leave shall be scheduled in accordance with the preference of the employee.
9.2 Accrual. Employees will accrue vacation leave during the new hire probationary period, but may not use vacation leave until completion of the probationary period. The current accrual schedule for full-time employees (prorated for part-time), to be credited monthly, is as follows:
9.3 Scheduling.
(a) The annual vacation schedule for use of vacation leave in each department shall be established in the existing departmental manner if adequate or in the following manner:
(1) Twice each year, on or about April 1 and October 1, a vacation request sheet shall be circulated by the department to the bargaining unit employees. Each employee shall indicate his or her preferences of a vacation time period. In the event that two (2) or more employees request the same vacation period and supervision must limit the number of persons who may take vacation leave at one (1) time due to work requirements, preference shall be determined by the following method: A number equal to one (1) point for each month of unbroken departmental service shall be added to a number equal to one (1) point for each month of unbroken University service and the employee with the greater number of points shall be given preference.
(2) Supervision shall post the vacation schedule by May 1 and November 1 which shall remain in effect for each succeeding six (6) months; that is, June 1 through November 30 and December 1 through May 31, respectively.
(b) Employees may make supplemental vacation requests (requests made outside the provisions of 9.3(a)) at any time. However, such supplemental requests shall not take precedence over requests scheduled in accordance with 9.3(a). Individual vacation periods may be changed at any time by mutual agreement between the employee(s) concerned and supervision; however, in no case shall an employee's scheduled vacation interfere with the necessary work of the organization, the determination of which shall rest with supervision.
An employee who makes a supplemental vacation request will be notified whether the request is approved or denied within a reasonable period of time, but in no case more than fourteen (14) calendar days after the supplemental vacation request is submitted.
(c) Any bargaining unit employee who may transfer into a department shall alter his/her preferred vacation period for that year if in conflict with a previously established vacation schedule for that department and the affected employees and department are unable to mutually resolve the conflict.
(d) Vacation Denial. When an employee's vacation cannot be approved, the supervisor shall schedule the employee's vacation at the next earliest date requested by the employee and deemed possible by the supervisor. In the event that the University cancels an employee's scheduled vacation, leaving no time to reschedule such vacation before the employee's maximum balance will be reached, the employee's vacation balance will be permitted to exceed the allowable maximum and the employee will continue to accrue vacation for a period of up to six (6) months in order to allow rescheduling of the employee's vacation.
(e) Holiday Rotation. Vacation requests filed in accordance with 9.3(a) for the week including Thanksgiving and the weeks including Christmas Day and New Years Day shall be granted on a rotating basis. The rotation will begin with the most senior person (seniority shall be determined by the method contained in 9.3(a) (1) above) and shall proceed in that order until all staff wishing to take vacation leave during those holiday periods have done so. No employee shall be granted more than one (1) of the aforementioned weeks in a single year, unless there are no other interested employees and the department is able to grant the request based on operational needs.
9.4 Vacation Leave Accumulation. An employee may accumulate a vacation balance which normally shall not exceed two hundred forty (240) hours. An employee may elect to accrue in excess of two hundred forty (240) hours but must receive approval to use the excess balance prior to the next anniversary date or lose those hours accrued in excess of two hundred forty (240).
9.5 Vacation Leave Cash Payment. Any permanent employee who either resigns or retires, is laid-off or is terminated by the University shall be entitled to accrued vacation pay.

text: A new safety review shows that products that contain codeine should not be used for pain relief following tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy in children, due to a possible risk of serious adverse events. The warning, issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Silver Spring, MD, USA), is based on reports of three deaths and one life-threatening case of respiratory depression published in the medical literature following the use of codeine in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who underwent tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy. The children were determined to be ultra-rapid metabolizers, genetically susceptible to converting normal doses of codeine into dangerous levels of morphine in the body. Following the reports, a review of the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System from 1969 to May 1, 2012, and a physician survey conducted by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS; Alexandria, VA, USA) uncovered a total of 12 deaths and three overdoses associated with codeine use in patients ranging in age from 21 months to 9 years. Eight of the cases involved codeine use after adenotonsillectomy, and three involved a respiratory tract infection. The codeine doses were appropriate in most cases. "Since these children already had underlying breathing problems, they may have been particularly sensitive to the breathing difficulties that can result when codeine is converted in the body to high levels of morphine," concluded the FDA advisory. "However, [the new] contraindication applies to all children undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy because it is not easy to determine which children might be ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine." A boxed warning regarding the contraindication will be added to the labels of all codeine-containing products in the United States. The contraindication to codeine use does not apply to other types of pain management in children, although the FDA recommends that codeine should only be used if the benefits are anticipated to outweigh the risks. Codeine (3-methylmorphine), a natural isomer of methylated morphine, is an opiate used for its analgesic, antitussive, antidiarrheal, antihypertensive, antianxiety, sedative, and hypnotic properties. It is used to suppress premature labor contractions, myocardial infarction (MI), cough suppression, as well as many other uses. Common adverse effects associated with the use of codeine include drowsiness, constipation, euphoria, itching, nausea, vomiting, and others. Rare adverse effects include anaphylaxis, seizure, and respiratory depression. Related Links: US Food and Drug Administration American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery

By David W. Spitzer
The goal of optimal control is to develop a strategy to control a system (process) in the optimal or best possible manner. Academicians use mathematical techniques to prove that the optimal control strategy is in fact the best that can be done. Typically this is performed using a model of the system to mathematically prove that a given performance measure is optimized when using a particular control strategy.
One classic example of an optimal control problem is the desire by the military to get an airplane from the ground to a certain altitude in minimum time. Intuitively it would seem that the airplane should take off and ascend at maximum throttle. However, mathematical models show that the airplane should actually reduce its altitude at a certain time during its ascent in order to increase its velocity to arrive at its target altitude in the shortest possible time.
Performance measurements are subject to the same kinds of logic. Has your boss ever told you that the meeting is right now, so you had to prepare your presentation in minimum time? Have you ever worked on a project that cannot overrun, so that implementation is performed at minimum cost?
Another such performance goal is to operate your plant using a minimum amount of energy, but this performance measure is not practical, given plant complexity and mathematical resources. However, a reduced energy performance measure can be practical.
Many energy-saving performance measures involve a single discipline, such as the maintenance department that finds and fixes steam leaks. However many solutions are overlooked because theyre multi-disciplinary in natureoften in conception, justification and implementation. Such is the case of the application of variable-speed drive (VSD) technologyespecially in the process industries. A VSD system that includes a drive, motor and pump is many things to many people; a final control element to an instrumentation engineer, a load to an electrical engineer, a pump to a mechanical and/or chemical engineer, and an operating expense to the accountant paying the bill. One of the major reasons that VSDs are not more widely applied in the process industries is because typically no one engineer possesses sufficient knowledge to conceive, understand and evaluate the instrumentation, electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, chemical, maintenance, operating cost and other aspects of the installation. As a result, VSD technology tends to fall between the cracks of traditional engineering disciplines.
How can you alter this syndrome and save energy? First, working with engineers trained in other disciplines is fundamental, simply because it is not common for one individual to possess all of the requisite knowledge. Second, you need to call attention to the potential of variable-speed technology. You need a champion who can gain awareness and be willing to work with others.
One important basis of awareness is to calculate the energy savings associated with an alternative VSD design in terms that management understands: M-O-N-E-Y. These calculations typically involve multidisciplinary technical information and calculations. For this reason, detailed calculations are beyond the scope of this article. (See my book, Variable Speed Drives: Principles and Applications for Energy Cost Savings, 3rd ed. ISA, 2004, for such representative calculations.)
For example, numerous applications in the process industries involve continuously pumping a liquid from one vessel into another through a control valve. In many of these applications, the transfer can be made in a more energy-efficient manner using VSD technology (Figure 1). You dont need the control valve, so its inherent problems (leakage, plugging, calibration, repair, energy loss ) are eliminated, and so the quality of control often improves due to the elimination of valve stiction and hysteresis.
Figure 1. Variable-speed drives (right) are more energy efficient than control valves (left) when pumping liquids. |
A typical pump curve describes the flow, pressure, efficiency and mechanical power requirements of the centrifugal pump at different operating conditions (Figure 2). The system curve describes the flow and pressure characteristics of the piping system without any throttling. Overlaying one on the other (Figure 3) indicates that the pump will operate at flow Q1 and pressure P1.
Figure 2. A pump curve shows flow, pressure, efficiency and mecahnical power needs at different operating conditions. |
Throttling the system with a control valve increases hydraulic friction and moves the system curve to the left to maintain flow Q2 at pressure P2 (Figure 4). Note that the control valve reduces the pressure from P2 to P1 to throttle the system to operate with flow Q2. Not generating this hydraulic energy by installing a variable-speed drive that permits operation close to the system curve (Figure 5) removes the need to generate this excess hydraulic energy, and thus, operating at pressure P3 and saving electrical energy as compared to throttling using a control valve.
Figure 3. Combining the pump and system curves indicates that the pump will operate at flow Q1 and pressure P1. |

It blows my mind when people say they have never had a passport or even traveled and seen more than their hometown/neighboring State. Yet they get paid occasionally and spend money on things they'll forget soon. A passport for U.S. Citizens costs ONLY $135. You can travel anywhere and everywhere with it. The first step is always getting the passport, then you'll experience magic.

The Act includes amendments to the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act of 2010, and other measures related to Iran's energy and financial sectors, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, support for terrorism, and human rights abuses.
Liability of US companies for violations of the Iran sanctions by foreign affiliates
Effective 6 February 2013, Section 218 of the Act prohibits an entity (i.e. foreign affiliate) owned or controlled by a US person ( i.e. US company) and established or maintained outside of the US, from knowingly engaging in any transaction, directly or indirectly, with the Government of Iran or persons subject to the jurisdiction of Iran, if that transaction would be prohibited by Executive Order, law or regulation, if the transaction were engaged in by a US person or in the US. In other words, if a US company is prohibited from engaging in the activity, then so is the foreign affiliate.
The Act imposes new prohibitions on affiliates' business activities in Iran. For example, goods held in inventory by a foreign affiliate that are subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) but not on the EAR's Commerce Control List, may no longer be re-exported to Iran if the transaction is not permitted by the US company. It is therefore imperative that US companies and their foreign affiliates review their business practices (e.g. exports of goods and services, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, etc.) to help to ensure compliance.
Section 219 of the Act amends the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and adds Section 13(r). This requires all companies whose stock is traded on US stock exchanges to disclose whether they or their foreign affiliates have knowingly engaged in certain prohibited activities involving Iran. Activity authorized by the US government is exempt from this requirement.
Activities subject to disclosure include the following:
Issuers required to file annual or quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must disclose any such activities and include in the disclosure the nature and extent of the activity, gross revenues attributable to the activity, and whether the issuer or affiliate intends to continue the activity. These disclosures will be required in Form 10-Ks (or Form 20-Fs for foreign private issuers) and Form 10-Qs that are due after 6 February 2013.
Further, in a separate report (new form type called 'IRANNOTICE') through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system, the SEC must be notified that the disclosure of the activity has been included in the annual or quarterly report.
In summary, US companies may soon be penalized for the unlawful acts of their foreign affiliates. Issuers will soon be required to disclose their violations and those of their foreign affiliates. US companies and their foreign affiliates should review their current business activities to identify potential risks and to develop controls or enhance existing controls to minimize the risk of noncompliance.
