The number of violent crimes reported in Scotland County was down in 2011 compared to the year before, according to a report released this week by the North Carolina Department of Justice.
The incidence of reported rapes in the county at its lowest level in more than a decade.
In 2011, 479.1 violent crimes were committed per 100,000 county residents, including seven murders, five rapes, and 58 robberies. That figure is down from 505.9 violent crimes in 2010, and the lowest rate of violent crime in Scotland County since 2007.
In 2010, six murders, 11 rapes, and 44 robberies were reported. A decade ago, in 2002, the violent crime rate was 451.1 per 100,000 of population.
The decrease in rapes reported, to 14.4 per 100,000 from 30.6 in 2010, marks a lower rate than the county has seen since before 2002, the time period reflected in the Department of Justice report. But Laurinburg police Captain Kim Monroe says that rates of violent crime are rarely systematic.
"Violent crime has no particular pattern; some years you'll have more than others," Monroe said. "There's no real way to predict how those crimes will arise."
Scotland County Sheriff Shep Jones said that the apparent decrease in rapes may reflect a reluctance of victims to report such crimes.
"I would hope that it's not because the victims are not reporting it," Jones said. "I would hope that if anyone is assaulted or raped, they would report it to authorities so we can prosecute it tot he fullest extent of the law."
The rate of property crime, including B&E's and larcenies, has risen from the 2010 level, to 5,019.5 per 100,000 from 4,475.6. In total, 1,928 crimes were reported in Scotland County in 2011, up from 1,792 in 2010.
According to Monroe, the increase in property crime may be attributable to the number of unemployed Scotland County residents.
"Property crime is most likely on the rise because of the unemployment rate at this point," said Monroe. "The two are definitely correlated. We find a lot of stolen property in pawn shops and a lot of homes have been broken into and property taken. I don't think they necessarily take it for their own use, they take it for financial gain."
Jones added that an increase in the number of vacant homes countywide, primarily rental properties, may also have tempted thieves and vandals looking for an easy target.
"I would say that property crime has a lot to do with the copper and copper metal theft that we're having with a lot of businesses, churches, and also residences," Jones said. "We're finding a lot of vacant homes in the county where property crimes are committed."
Despite a 5.9 percent increase in murders statewide, North Carolina's overall crime rate is the lowest since 1977.
According to Attorney General Roy Cooper, this may be a symptom of budget cuts that limit the capabilities of local law enforcement officers. Cooper said that the departments of Justice and Public Safety have lost a combined $31 million in funding.
"I think what this tells us is that we must be vigilant in giving law enforcement the tools to prevent crime, especially to solve violent crimes like murder," Cooper said. "When we invest wisely in law enforcement the result is safer communities. It takes well trained law enforcement using the latest technology to keep our crime rates low and we need to make sure that they have the tools that they need to do the job."
In the face of cuts that have trickled down to the local level, individual officers are shouldering increased responsibility.
"Even with the budget cuts, people are stepping up and taking on additional responsibilities to make Scotland County a safer place," Jones said.

text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN Erie County Sheriff's deputies say a man arrested after an incident at a Clarence store attempted to kill himself inside the Erie County Holding Center. In a statement, Undersheriff Mark Wipperman says 54 year old Edward Berezowski of Williamsville was brought into the Holding Center after being arrested at a Best Buy for grabbing an employee who had told him to stop swearing loudly because kids were nearby. Deputies say Berezowski then attacked a store manager by choking him and throwing him into a display. Wipperman says Berezowski entered the Echo Long Housing Unit Sunday afternoon and told staff he was going to nap. Ten minutes later, as part of required safety checks, a deputy discovered Berezowski hanging from the cell gate by his jail issued pants. He was immediately cut down and given CPR. Berezowski was then rushed to Buffalo General Hospital, where he is listed in critical condition. The Sheriff's Office is investigating, and will not comment further.

Visual Studio 11 Beta async action methods hang indefinitely
segunda-feira, 5 de março de 2012 01:14
Under Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview, async action methods worked correctly without issue. After installing Visual Studio 11 Beta, those same async action methods now cause the page to hang indefinitely.
public class HomeController : AsyncController { public async Task<ActionResult> Index() { return View(); } }
Change the action back to synchronous and it works without hanging.
public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } }
This blog post (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/pfxteam/archive/2012/03/03/10277166.aspx) makes me think the problem has to do with the beta however, the site is built targeting .NET Framework 4.5, not 4.0 so presumably it should work.
"This means that while you can absolutely use Visual Studio 11 Beta to build apps that use async/await with .NET 4.5, you are currently unable to use Visual Studio 11 Beta to build apps that use async/await against .NET 4, Silverlight 5, etc., since the compilers in Visual Studio 11 Beta are expecting differently shaped types than those in the existing AsyncCtpLibrary* DLLs."
Any suggestions on where to look for a fix?

First - a couple of questions:
1) You're trying to use async without "await" inside of the method body. What is the goal here? Is this your real, complete code?
2) How are you calling this? It's difficult to see what all could cause a hang without seeing how you're trying to use the method itself. Are you awaiting this in a UI thread call?
3) Given the names, I would guess "View()" is performing a UI-related operation. If this is the case, it may not make sense to make this (at least entirely) asynchronous. The problem could be as simple as creating the user interface on a background thread, which isn't going to work, as user interfaces (typically) have thread affinity.

Gene and I followed up offline. For anyone else reading and interested...
The short answer is that there is a known bug in ASP.NET MVC in the .NET 4.5 Beta that results in this issue when the async method completes synchronously. Until a fix is available, a simple workaround is to add "await Task.Yield();" as the first line of the async method, forcing it to complete asynchronously. For this to work correctly, you also need to ensure you're using the new SynchronizationContext supplied by ASP.NET in .NET 4.5, which means ensuring you have the line:
<add key="aspnet:UseTaskFriendlySynchronizationContext" value="true" />
in the appSettings section of your configuration file.- Marcado como Resposta Stephen Toub - MSFTMicrosoft Employee, Moderator terça-feira, 6 de março de 2012 03:58

I like how the individual pieces are not all alike but coordinated to make a nice setting. They go prefectly with my green kitchen. Coffee cups are taller, which is what I wanted. We use the small desert bowls all the time for gravy or dip bowls. Large bowls work well with salads and cereal, but not pasta. Also bought three serving bowls to match. Some dishes were broken in shipping. They were replaced quickly. One bowl has cracked since we bought the set about one year ago.

Chicken Farm races from the 80's Submitted by Kris Thompson on Mon, 01/26/2009 - 08:44 News Item: Colorado Cycling HistoryBefore 8spd. was invented the Boulder Cycling Club and Team Monger were putting on very informal races Sterling Circle on east Valmont. View Larger Map Apparently the developers had built the roads but no or few buildings were in place so every Tuesday riders would show up to race in 1 race... men, women, beginners to pros. The BVC (Boulder Velo Club) even had no permits, no cops (approval) and no officials... just riders, their bikes and their passion to compete. The only requirement for the BVC event was that you joined the Boulder Velo Club which was $12... that is one fee for the entire year! Since the race was not an official race riders didn't have race numbers so scoring was "blue helmet guy, green bike, etc. The course was a 1/3 mile loop on what is now called Sterling Circle. The format was a 40 lap points race, sprinting every 4th lap for 3 deep points. Racing started in April with 20 lap races (due to sunlight) season ended with an omnium, which consisted of a points race, a miss-n-out, a one-lap flying start TT, and a scratch race. The BVC event was started by Harry Buss and Dave Finamore. The Team Monger event was a permitted race under USCF/BRAC and was only open to Cat 4 and juniors since its purpose was to act as a learning crit series for beginners. This development was owned by the Eggleston who just so happen to have a son at CU and was the roommate of the guy who made the Team Monger race happen. This relationship made it easy to get the permission to race there. Regardless of which race you did the course had three hazards: Two concrete drainage "troughs" and the sharp turn at the north end. The trough at the southeast corner had a two-inch gap between the concrete and the asphalt, which was fixed free of charge one day by one of the racers, who was a concrete contractor. The real hazard was hitting the inside curb, which I don't think ever happened. "Some years we'd run the points race series too long and had to cut the omnium short for lack of daylight. Everyone looked forward to the omnium and we'd get a big turnout." Read more about Chicken Farm races from the 80'sAdd new comment
Remember when.... Cyclocross in the 80's Submitted by Kris Thompson on Wed, 01/21/2009 - 05:43 News Item: Colorado Cycling HistoryThanks to one our readers for this story, which will be the beginning of an ongoing series of cycling back the day in Colorado. Remember one of the first cyclocross series to ever be held in the Boulder area? Chris Grealish put it on in the late 80's. Was David Towle playing MC Hammer on the speakers? Thanks to Kevin Jordan for this story! Way back in the late eighties Chris Grealish introduced cyclocross to Boulder. He put on a five or six race series in a small field just south of Colorado Blvd and across from the now US West site. They were building some condos out there and had broken ground which meant small dirt piles and a couple of ditches and such, perfect for a small cross venue. I had no idea what a cyclocross race was but I heard it involved riding your mountain bike through some kind of obstacle course or something. My bike was a 1988 Specialized Rockhopper complete with a rack on the back, a rigid fork and toe straps. I didn't't realize I would have to actually carry the bike or I may have taken the rack off. That might have gotten it down to 38 pounds or so. Read more about Remember when.... Cyclocross in the 80's2 commentsAdd new comment

Life post break
When did this being on break become cool? We (self and wife) were out for an evening walk the other day and I get a call from someone I know who was – as the term goes – slogging away at office. And it's not the first one of these types I've got. Now I don't think I'm appearing cool because it's a decision I took and remember it's you who's getting the monthly paycheck. But if you're gonna shower me with all the "lucky you, how does it feel" thing, then well, what do you expect? So here, this is what I'm up to. I'm taking a walk, seeing the sunset, soaking it all in, on a weekday. I never thought I could do it, and believe me, I wish I can keep this going for the rest of my life. And since you asked, yes, it feels great.
The Bombay I knew from my office cubicle is so distant from the Bombay I see now. One thing I'm sure about is that Bombay sure isn't dead. As long as its people run, Bombay's full of life. Overflowing with life. Man, except me, everyone's running. The poor run, the rich run. So do the young and the old (this seemingly 70+, woman almost trampled me when I came in her way today). Rich and poor alike. Running on the road, running on the railway tracks, running with their cars. All running for something, with something, because of something, towards something. I don't know what makes them run. But as long as they run, Bombay runs. Don't mistake this for the "spirit of the city" – if you did, then you're probably a Bombay romantic. Or work for the media. Me? I've never believed in a "spirit of Bombay". The only spirit Bombay has is money and it sure as hell keeps it high.
The scene that will remain me for a long time is when I'm at a school playground catching up with someone I haven't met in a while. We're sitting, watching the kids play. They're practicing running, athletics or whatever it is. Instructors are pacing the kids, the kids are racing with each other. The older ones are running laps. Over the playground and over the mud-kicked dusty air, the sun is setting, setting off its usual riot of colors in the sky that makes me linger on more to sunsets than sunrises. And there's this palpable sense of freedom. Of absolute, boundless freedom. I can see it in the children, I can sense it in the air. As a passing thought, the concept of open space becomes more real to me than it ever has in my life. But there's this freedom. As if all that's there is that moment. That's what it's about really. How free do I want to be. Everything else kinda settles down around. Just like the dust and the grass around those kids.

I have been visiting your Mumbai/Bombay blog for the last couple months. Unless this (today's) specific blog is for people you know, I am not quite sure about what it say other than a break (i guess!) in Mumbai.
By the way, I love sunrises and sunsets. - 8:29 AM

Firstly Happy Birthday old man :)
And now back to the post.My situation is exact opposite currently. I don't know what it is. So many things crashed and all at once that I really miss what you call not running. Not running for any God damn thing be it an MBA or marriage or job or the appointment at the salon or the credit card bills and ya not for weight loss too :)
I am happy for you being in a moment where you truely feel free :) - 1:47 PM

Avid - Good observation. The post, I guess, was more like a log entry. It's just thoughts that cross my head, like the cityscape series I've done in the past, but not in the same spirit. Thanks as always for the comment.
Kusum - Yeah, thanks nice way of wishing some man, but heck, I like aging! Everyone runs, yaar, this is Bombay. If you don't run, the city will run over you. So take it easy, sometimes the run is fun, but it gets tiring. Figure out the break, at times it happens on its own. Thank you for your comment!
PS - start blogging again, I mean really! - 6:48 PM

My best friend is your age and I refer to him as old man implying old-wise-man :) so I meant the old bit as a compliment :) you don't have to worry about a zillion things we-not-so-old-and-not-so young-either have to worry about :) I agree aging is good :) If I were given a choice be the silly teenager I was again I would rather be the fat getting older everyday person I am :)
I don't know about blogging, not as yet :) - 8:25 PM
- Bombay Addict said...
Kusum - I think you said it best when you said what you'd choose between those two stages in life. Get back to blogging - soon!

A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
While this may not be the case in your post.. I see this argument used over and over again by people who have NEVER looked at SeLinux or tried to use it. They heard it somewhere else, or found a FAQ that said turn it off etc.. but never actually looked at it in any form.
What chroot() is really for
Posted Oct 5, 2007 4:04 UTC (Fri) by wahern (subscriber, #37304) [Link]
Also, if SELinux were actually easy to use, why don't Linux distributions ship with policies that don't frustrate users? That's not to say it can't be done. It's only evidence that it can't be done well, yet. In my opinion, there's some key abstraction missing which, when discovered, will likely make MAC schemes more intuitive, automagically adaptable to the environment, and much more common place than they are. We just aren't there yet. The evolution of Unix tells us that only those interfaces which have proven themselves become standardized across platforms. For my money, compartmentalized environments a la BSD jails/Solaris Zones seem to be the wave of the future, even if personally I'd like to see MAC schemes become the norm.
Lost in this whole debate is something called portability. As a developer, I'm not going to write software with the expectation that the user will run it in UML or a BSD jail. Fact is, chroot is available on every single Unix system, with identical semantics. I'll write my software as best I can so that diligent users can run software in a jail, but just because others can or would isn't reason to persuade me not to use chroot.
Posted Oct 5, 2007 12:38 UTC (Fri) by addw (guest, #1771) [Link]
why do a million administrators have to lock down applications when the developer could have written the application better to begin with.
Because security is best done in depth; ie multiple layers so that if one fails you hopefully prevent problems by another layer.
I am not saying that applications should not be well coded, but we need to be realistic and realise that all programs have bugs.

Posted Oct 5, 2007 20:29 UTC (Fri) by wahern (subscriber, #37304) [Link]
chroot is not _the_ answer. In all this debate, either here or on LKML, I have yet to see anybody mistakingly suggest that chroot _alone_ is a sufficient measure. All of these straw men arguments that say that chroot shouldn't be used because chroot _alone_ isn't sufficient are fallacious.
I'm only sticking to my guns because these forums are archived, and I don't want to see a student or junior engineer come to me in 10 years and say they didn't use chroot, though they trivially could have, because they were told it was useless.

Posted Oct 11, 2007 7:12 UTC (Thu) by gat3way (guest, #47864) [Link]
And BTW there are quite a lot of ways to escape it as long as you're already a root. You can for example mount filesystems on some occasions.
Who said chroot() must provide security...against someone that already has root privilleges on that system???

I think i'm going to try the bossman method again starting today! I am going to go very slow though. and not increase my time by much at all each week! only 5 seconds each week. so if i start at 10 seconds i will take 11 weeks just to get to a minute running which i think can give me time to lose some weight!
if i have foot problems i might have to stop though... i will do it 3 times a week as recommended. I'm also going to really try to use the recumbant bike weekly at my gym for cross training while i run.

Vote to Change 911 Dispatch is Jan. 15
Under the proposed change, firefighters and paramedics would no longer both be dispatched to minor 911 calls, such as those about a fall or a sick person.
Next week, Pinellas County Commissioners are scheduled to vote on a resolution that will change the way firefighters and ambulances respond to emergency 911 calls throughout the county. The vote is the third phase in Pinellas County's effort to streamline its 911 dispatch system. In September, the Largo City Commission supported Pinellas County Administrator Bob LaSala's recommendation to dispatch just Sunstar ambulances on certain calls for emergency service. "We have the Cadillac of systems in Pinellas County, and we can no longer afford it. We need to get costs under control," said Pinellas County Commissioner Susan Latvala. Under the proposed change, firefighters and paramedics, or "first responders," would no longer both be dispatched…

Trying to make sense of the horrors of World War II, Death relates the story of Liesel - a young German girl whose book-stealing and story-telling talents help sustain her family and the Jewish man they are hiding, as well as their neighbors. Includes readers' guide.
Community Activity
Add a CommentThis book was beautifully and geniusly written. The fact that Marc Zusak made death the complete opposite of what many people think today made it seem much fuller and incredibly original. This book was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it.
A really great book with an amazing writing style and narrative!
Excellent writing style!
Unbelievably beautiful book.
This is a beautifully written book about a very sad time in history. Narrated by Death it depicts life in Germany during WWII for citizens and the over powering influence of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Wonderful characters to love and break your heart at the same time.
Yes, another Nazi Germany story, but unlike any other. Unlike any other story you've read. This is the second Zusak book I've experienced, and I hope there are many more to come. His fresh descriptions and unique methods of denouement show true literary brilliance. The story itself is moving, but it is because of its own beauty, not just because of its context. Humor is sprinkled throughout unspeakable grief. It's so real and tangible. I think I'd need another couple days to think of something I didn't like. I almost wanted to say "thank you" after I finished it. Will it change your life? Maybe not, but it will remind you that humanity is beautiful and detestable at the same time.
Outstanding book. I recommend not reading it in a public place, especially the ending, because you will cry. I will be adding this one to my selective collection at home.
Such an amazing book.
Excellent writing! I didn't cry, but was filled with many emotions. Don't miss this one!
A beautiful, haunting, tragic, and extremely powerful book that is filled with unforgettable characters (including a very unique narrator). I can honestly say that it is one of the best books that I've ever read.

Add a SummaryIntroduction: During WWII in 1939, Liesel and her brother are being taken to Molching, Germany with her mother, to live with foster parents. Sadly, her little brother dies on the train and is buried along the way there. This is when Liesel steals her first book, (Gravedigger's Handbook- marks brother's death). Entering her new home, Liesel finds most comfort and love with her new father- Hans Hubermann. Stealing books becomes somewhat of a hobby now, as it motivates her to learn to read and write. An important aspect of the introduction is the hint at Liesel's background. She learns more about why, how, and what actually happened to her real parents. As of right now, all we know is that Hans is gentle/welcoming, and that Rosa may need anger-management classes. Rising Action: After the book-burning celebration for Hitler's birthday, Liesel realizes that the Nazis are responsible for all of her losses. At this point, she steals another book (the Shoulder Shrug- marks hatred for Hitler). Along with her friendship with Rudy Steiner, good friend from school, she forms a relationship with the mayor's wife, who lets Liesel in her library every time she comes by for laundry (as she saw Liesel's interest in stealing the Shoulder Shrug). But when the wife, Ilsa, ends the laundry service, Liesel is infuriated and begins stealing her books. Eventually though, forgiveness awakes due to a complicated friendship that was always present. Back to Rudy, he's a fearless boy with lemon hair, and he wants Liesel's lips. Remember that. Meanwhile, there's the story of Hans Hubermann and his great friend during WWI who saved Hans's life and died in consequence. This friend happens to be a Jew, and his son is now seeking help with Hans, in hiding from the Nazis. Expectedly, the family is worried about the potential situation, since the act of housing a Jew in WWII was life-jeopardising. But they do, and Max turns out to be very friendly. So does Rosa. Especially Hans. Climax: A series of little events tagged along for the journey to the climax. But, everything explodes when Max leaves for safety. Liesel is…she's devastated. But, there is worse to come. He's seen in a hoard of Jews on their way to Dachau, and this just tears the girl apart. Soon after, Ilsa gave Liesel a blank book. This saves the girl's life, keeping her busy writing in the basement in an unexpected bombing. Sadly, all of Liesel's loved ones die in their sleep. Death takes his time picking up Rosa, Hans, Kurt... Oh yeah, Rudy dies too, but at least he gets his long-awaited kiss from Liesel. Too bad it happens like this. Falling Action: Well, the climax occurs late in the book, and in consequence, there's not much to be said in this section. But, it is notable that Liesel drops her book in shock of everybody's death (book = her life-story painted on the beloved blank pages from Ilsa). Death picks it up. The book is to be remembered. The mayor's wife takes her in. Liesel talks with Alex Steiner. About Rudy. I'm sorry, am I being too specific? It's...well...just that......I love this part. Resolution: In the epilogue, Liesel dies. But, she has lived a happy life with a husband and offspring. We also see Liesel being reunited with Max, having miraculously survived his sentence at Dachau. The book ends under a fulfilling atmosphere as Death gives back her book and takes her soul away. "I am haunted by humans."
I started this book and it just didn't keep my attention, so gave it up, for a time. It had been so highly recommended I knew it would come back on my list. When next I picked it up I was ready for it and absolutely loved it. An engrossing, warm, and thoughtful read about a very difficult time.
An amazing story that takes place during World War II in Nazi Germany. Death narrates the story of a young girl named Liesel and her life living with her foster parents, the Hubermanns.

Add a Quote"The only thing worse than a boy who hates you: a boy that loves you." ― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
"I've seen so many young men over the years who think they're running at other young men. They are not. They're running at me." (p.245 LP version) said by Death.
"Look at the colors," Papa said. It's hard not to like a an who not only notices the colors, but speaks them. - Markus Zusak
She leaned down and looked at his lifeless face and Liesel kissed her best friend, Rudy Steiner, soft and true on his lips. He tasted dusty and sweet. He tasted like the regret in the shadows of trees and in the glow of the anarchist's suit collection. She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers. Her hands were trembling, her lips were fleshy, and she leaned in once more, this time losing control and misjudging it. Their teeth collided on the demolished world of Himmel Street.
Point five: Somewhere, far down, there was an itch in his heart, but he made it a point not to scratch it. He was afraid of what might come leaking out. (p. 60)
Mr. Steiner was a remarkably polite man under normal circumstances. Discovering one of his children smeared charcoal black on a summer evening was not what he considered normal circumstances. "The boy is crazy," he muttered, although he conceded that with six kids, something like this was bound to happen. At least one of them had to be a bad egg. (p. 58)
The day was gray, the colour of Europe. Curtains of rain were drawn around the car. (p. 27)
All told, she owned fourteen books, but she saw her story as being made up predominantly of ten of them. Of those ten, six were stolen, one showed up at the kitchen table, two were made for her by a hidden Jew, and one was delivered by a soft, yellow-dressed afternoon. (p. 30)
People on the street stood and watched, some with straight-armed salutes, others with hands that burned from applause. Some kept faces that were contorted by pride and rally like Frau Diller, and then there were the scatterings of odd men out, like Alex Steiner, who stood like a human-shaped block of wood, clapping slow and dutiful. And beautiful. Submission. (p. 62)
As he looked uncomfortably at the human shape before him, the young man's voice was scraped out and handed across the dark like it was all that remained of him. (p. 173)

CEA awarded for nutritional excellence The Whitney Point Central School District's Caryl E. Adams Primary School has earned the Bronze Award from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s HealthierUS School Challenge. The award recognizes the district's commitment to nutrition and fitness to promote a healthier school environment for children. The challenge is a key component of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative to end childhood obesity within a generation. Schools participating in the Challenge voluntarily adopt USDA standards for food they serve at their schools, agree to provide nutrition education and provide opportunities for physical activity. A recognition ceremony took place at the Caryl E. Adams Primary School on March 25 and County Legislator Ron Keibel and a member of the BOCES Food Service Program were in attendance. The school received a plaque, a banner and a monetary award of $500 for use by school food services. WBNG was on hand to cover the event and the story/video can be viewed here. |

Given a field $K$ of characteristic $0$. It seems to me that every finite-dimensional polynomial representation of $\mathrm{SL}_2\left(K\right)$ is self-dual (i. e., isomorphic to its dual). In fact, every representation of $\mathrm{SL}_2\left(K\right)$ is a direct sum of irreducible representations (since $\mathrm{SL}_2\left(K\right)$ is semisimple), and the irreducible representations are the canonical representations on $K\left[x,y\right]_n$ which are known to be self-dual. But is there a simpler proof without subdividing into irreducibles?
Remember to vote up questions/answers you find interesting or helpful (requires 15 reputation points)
Because its Weyl group contains -1. For split semisimple groups in char 0, taking duals corresponds to acting by -1 on the weight lattice, where irreducible polynomial representations correspond to weights modulo the action of the Weyl group. So if -1 is in the Weyl group (acting on the weight lattice), then any (irreducible) representation is isomorphic to its dual. This includes the groups with Dynkin diagrams A1, Bn, Cn, Dn for n even, E7, E8, F4, G2 but not An for n>1, Dn for n odd and E6. |

I'm not sure that you can expect to avoid "subdividing into irreducibles", since the result is not true without semisimplicity. If $K$ has characteristic $p>0$, the $SL_2(K) = SL(V)$-representation on the $p+1$-dimensional space $\operatorname{Sym}^p(V)$ (the $p$th symmetric power of the natural 2 dim'l representation) is not self-dual. |
Here is a variant of Richard's answer. In the group $ SU(2) $ every element is conjugate to its inverse. Hence the characters of a representation and its dual are the same. (Richard's answer is essentially this answer restricted to the torus, which is sufficient.) To alleviate your concerns, smooth complex representations of $SU(2) $ and algebraic complex representations of $SL_2(\mathbb{C}) $ are the same thing. |
The question itself and some of the comments seem out of focus to me, so let me add to what Richard and George write the following summary version of an answer. I'd stress that nothing here is really complicated or subtle to prove apart from the basic Cartan-Weyl classification and (in characteristic 0) complete reducibility for finite dimensional representations. First, the group itself is defined and split over the prime field (here Anyway, for a connected semisimple group the "rational" and "polynomial" representations are the same, unlike the reductive group GL So far nothing really depends on characteristic 0. But as George McNinch observes, there are plenty of cases where nonsimple modules in prime characteristic fail to be completely reducible and are typically not self-dual. So you do need to invoke complete reducibility (and non-canonical direct sum decompositions) to dispose of the characteristic 0 question. P.S. It's certainly possible to treat the rank 1 case here by direct ad hoc methods in characteristic 0, including the needed proof of complete reducibility (using the easily computed Casimir operator). For irreducible representations, self-duality is a trivial consequence of the fact that these representations are uniquely classified (up to isomorphism) by their dimensions 1, 2, 3, .... But such an ad hoc argument fails to provide much enlightenment. And the general theory allows one to see that the group representations and Lie algebra representations are essentially the same, whether the groups are regarded as Lie groups or algebraic groups (or just as abstract groups). Of course, finite dimensionality is a key point throughout, since the infinite dimensional representation theory involves harder questions. |

Foodie Flicks: Big Night
6 Jan
For me, when the opening lines of movie are about food, I know I'm going to love it.
Big Night is a classic foodie film. Made in 1996, it explores the story of two brothers from Italy – Primo and Secondo (aptly named First and Second) who are trying to make it in 1930′s America with a truly authentic Italian restaurant. Primo is the chef in the family that holds the integrity of food above all else. While, Secondo understands his brother's convictions, but as the businessman of the restaurant, he realizes that things might have to change in order to make a profit. Enter Louis Prima. Primo and Secondo put together a dinner like no other, to host the legendary singer in the restaurant for one night. Will Primo be able to keep his culinary convictions?
I'm not going to spoil the whole movie. But if you are looking for something to watch this weekend, Big Night would be at the top of my list. Food plays a prominent role and every time I watch it I want to cook something. It is a great insight into Italian cooking. Moreover, Big Night examines the struggle some restaurants have in trying to please the customer while cooking authentic food. A top that still is prominent 16 years after the movie was made. Also, the cast in this movie is a amazing. Food or not, it's a great movie.
Buon Appetito!

When I arrived, the hotel was having problems with its wi-fi. This made my stay annoying since I only stay at hotels that have free wi-fi. They claimed... that it was being fixed, because they were changing service providers. They even pointed out a man who was supposed to be the repairman, but the service did not change. The wi-fi was temperamental and often did not work. The lady behind the desk was very kind understanding and personable and she was the person who made my stay positive. I did have encounters with the owner and I could tell she just doesn't care anymore. She's tired and perhaps used to complaints. I understand her plight, but my advice is to then get out of the business. I know running a motel must be hard, but then you have to make some choices about whether you want to stay in business. My advice to the owner is to quit while she still can. In the end you get what you pay for and this place is cheap. If you can put up with spotty service and an uneven quality of rooms, then this place is worth it. I probably won't be staying there again. Diulas oleh tetamu Hotels.com pada 31 Mac 2013

Physical Traits: The Northern Flicker is a medium to large sized woodpecker grayish brown in color with a black crescent shape on its chest. The male has a black or red mustache, the female has either no mustache stirpe or a brown one. While this woodpecker climbs trees and hammers on the wood like other wookpeckers, it also will use its bill to dig in the dirt to find and eat ants.
Habitat: The bird can be found in open woodlands and at the edge of forests, cities and suburbs. The nest is a hole dug into a dead tree where the cavity is unlined.
Recommended Feeder: Lyric Woodpecker Feeder
Feeder Tips: Selectively limit your feeding site for optimal pleasure by offering the food in a Lyric Woodpecker Feeder. This cedar feeder is uniquely designed so the Northern Flickers' long bill and tongue can get the bits of food. We suggest smearing some suet or peanut butter on the cedar and in the holes to attract the bird and help it identify the food source. Hanging the feeder from a tree branch or close to a tree trunk is optimal. Conversely, if you'd like to offer the mix to all birds, a hopper feeder works nicely. We also recommend wire mesh tubes, but because most of the ingredients are shelled, protect them from direct exposure to the elements. Squirrel baffles are always recommended.
States and Regions Found: They extend across North America and soutward to Cuba and Central America.

I'm going to Vegas again for the Awards show and will be arriving the 22nd, so I will for sure go to this!!!! YAY CAN'T WAIT!!!!! hopefully I'll get more pics of Ovie in the pool ;) hehe.
- June 16, 2010 at 1:44 PM
Haha Marge hopefully he wears those tight black trunks again...wooo! Have a blast and give Ovi a hug and a kiss for me! Good luck Ovi, hope you win the Hart and the Lindsay!
- June 16, 2010 at 1:48 PM
added note...JR and Ovi together partying until 4am...sounds like some serious trouble brewing. JR was just plain rotten back in the day and I'm sure he hasn't changed much. Talk about double trouble..ladies take care of your hearts (among other body parts) on this night!

Great news, Marge! You can report on his dancing moves.

@Marge, are you the one that's in the YouTube video of Ovi swimming in the pool in Las Vegas from last year?
And as far as watch out ladies, Roenick is married, so I'd hope he'd leave the ladies alone. Just means more for Ovi I guess.

@Marge: You are great! Thanks for the pics and the vid!
@Andrea: It's definitely a shame! I don't live there either:-( - June 17, 2010 at 5:05 PM
I wish I could be there too.
Marge, thanks for the links to the pics and YouTube vids. No pressure, BUT we're counting on you to help us Ovie deprived get some new views of the Great 8--especially dancing or in swim trunks at the pool. Have a great time there!
ROFL at the dress code for the event:
Does that mean Ovie is leaving his torn shredded jeans in the closet for this one?
@O: It doesn't specify 4am of what day so I for one won't be surprised if this shindig goes on for days like a Russian wedding!
@bg: if Marge supplies us with pics of Ovie in tight black trunks I just might faint away for good! - June 17, 2010 at 7:25 PM
@O again: Oops, it does say 4am Wednesday but I'm not buying it.
The only thing that would turn this Ovie event into a downer for a fantasy life freak like me is if it's really a wedding reception after a quickie marriage at one of the Vegas chapels. I so don't want to go there or even think about it! - June 17, 2010 at 7:30 PM
lmao bobby, you're a hoot! some russian babe was just talking about ovi's relationship status and he's supposedly single again. just hope he doesn't get drunk and decide to marry a vegas show girl..hehehe.
- June 18, 2010 at 7:50 AM
Apparently no Hart for Ovi this year. :(
F'ing media. - June 18, 2010 at 2:16 PM
where did you see that?
- June 18, 2010 at 2:18 PM
They have to stop partying (briefly) since the awards ceremony is at 4pm on Wed (followed by the post-party). - June 18, 2010 at 2:35 PM
No Hart for Ovie, if true, would be an unsurprising culmination of The Year Everyone Piled on Ovechkin.
- June 18, 2010 at 3:07 PM
@bg: Ovie getting drunk and hitched to a Vegas showgirl? If true then I'll do my best Col. Kurtz imitation: "Oh the horror, the horror!"
@O: this past year went far beyong piling on Ovie if you read some of the not-so-nice so-called fan sites. We even get trolls here so you can just imagine the vitriol that's spewed elsewhere. - June 18, 2010 at 6:56 PM
=0( I hope it is wrong, but I have a feeling he didn't get it as everyone's been rapping on him this year. Stupid in a way, since he's taken on more of a role on the team imo, and still managed to get 50 g's and 59 assists in 10 less games...but whatever, that's nothing special. Jerks. lol
If true and he didn't, I hope Henrik get's it. I've actually been impressed by his playing that I've seen and also, eff crosby. And I'm a Canadian, he's too annoying. - June 18, 2010 at 10:54 PM
- Martha said...
I was in Vegas last week, should've waited until this to go!! One of my co-workers knows a couple of people at Lavo and they couldve got me in! Ugh!! I hope he makes an appearance at the NHL draft, I'll be there!
- June 18, 2010 at 11:08 PM
Ovie losing the Hart and Ted Lindsay awards would put the icing on a very bitter cake. However, Ovie seems to be enjoying himself a lot this off-season so I don't think he'd be depressed or disappointed if he's shut out of the awards. However, if he needs consoling, I happily volunteer my services to make him feel a LOT better.
@O again: one further thought about everyone piling on Ovie. The only thing I want piled on top of Ovie is ME!!! - June 18, 2010 at 11:34 PM
Is he in Vegas yet? In dire need of an Ovie fix. Summer is torture.
- June 21, 2010 at 5:26 PM
@O: Maybe Ovie hasn't arrived and needs a last minute ride since Nate refused to take him along, if the new video clip on this site is to be believed.
I happily volunteer to drive Ovie to Vegas or anywhere else his heart desires. Seriously.
*BobbyG, humming the Beatles' "Baby You Can Drive My Car" which suddenly popped into her Ovie-deprived head - June 21, 2010 at 9:39 PM
I love the Canadians on here who can't stand Crosby.
And I agree if Ovi doesn't win the Hart, then I hope Henrik does. But Vegas odds has Crosby winning--maybe that's where that anonymous person heard it.
Anyhow, if he doesn't win, we know it will just make him even more motivated for next year.
And as for the piling on, the Canadian media can go to hell. I've never seen a group enjoy bringing someone down the way they do. If Ovi was Canadian, the media would have treated this year entirely different. - June 21, 2010 at 10:23 PM
@most recent Anonymous: you got your wish, and mine too. Ovie didn't win the Hart, but at least Crosby didn't either.
Congratulations to Henrik Sedin! - June 23, 2010 at 9:04 PM

Wind energy basics
Wind is powered by the sun. In fact, all renewable energy, and even energy in fossil fuels, ultimately comes from the sun. The sun heats our planet to different temperatures in different places and at different times. This unequal distribution of heat is what creates wind as warm air rises and cooler air descends to fill the void. Wind is the ongoing movement of this air.
As the sun warms the earth, it in turn, warms the air above it, making it less dense or lighter. As the light air rises, it creates a low pressure zone near the ground. Air from surrounding cooler areas rushes in to balance the pressure. These are called local winds. Temperature differences between the polar caps and equator, as well as the rotation of the earth, produce similar results on a global scale, called prevailing winds.
Capturing the wind
Wind turbines come in many sizes, from small to large but the ones seen in Canada today generally consist of large blades mounted on tall towers attached to a horizontal shaft. As the wind blows, these blades cause the shaft to turn. The shaft is attached to a generator located inside the head, or "nacelle" of the turbine, which generates electricity. Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses. Modern turbines rotate quite slowly, at an average speed of between 18 to 20 revolutions per minute
Maintenance issues are also much smaller on a wind farm. At some conventional power plants, the entire plant may have to be shut down for repairs whereas at a wind farm, maintenance takes place one turbine at a time. This has led to availability factors (referring to the percent of time that a turbine is available to capture the wind) of 98% – much higher than conventional forms of energy production.
Wind turbines can also be non-grid connected and used for supplying power to a home, farm, cottage, or even remote community. These, generally smaller turbines are discussed in the 'Small wind energy systems' section below.

Small wind energy systems
Small wind energy systems can be used to help meet the electricity needs of rural or off-grid homes either by themselves or in combination with other renewable energy sources such as solar panels. The most important factor to consider when thinking of purchasing a small wind energy system is siting. Improperly sited turbines, such as those installed on too low a tower and/or in an area with many obstructions (such as buildings and trees) will produce very little energy (see the CanWEA Small Wind Purchasing Guide for more information).
