'Intellectual Property' Mess Holding Up The TPP
from the maybe-just-drop-it deptAs negotiators are seeking to finish up the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement as soon as possible (they had originally promised a done deal by October), it appears that the controversial "intellectual property" chapter is causing the most problems, according to Sean Flynn, who is at the current negotiating round in Lima.
Officially, the Chief Negotiators have backed off the prior commitment to end the TPP negotiation by October, but are still clinging to a goal to end the negotiation by the "end of the year." But privately, none of the negotiators or stakeholders at this round would express any confidence that the intellectual property issues could be resolved by then. The issues still under contention are massive.Furthermore, it appears that some of the negotiators are realizing that it's a bad idea to lock in certain concepts, as would be set under the TPP, especially as various court rulings are changing the way copyright laws are viewed, and while a new copyright reform process is ongoing. People seem to be recognizing that agreeing to specific norms that may quickly be undermined by national laws would be a waste of time.
The intellectual property chapter has grown to over 80 pages of text – including all the bracketed suggestions and alternatives. Some negotiators describe it as the longest text currently under negotiation.
Many of the issues are completely blocked. There has not been any new negotiation text offered on the most controversial pharmaceutical provisions since the Melbourne round over a year ago. There is currently no mandate from many countries to negotiate (they only "consult" and "discuss") the pharmaceutical reimbursement chapter. Barbara Weisel described the pharmaceutical issues as being in a "period of reflection," and had no comment on when that period might end.
The recent spate of proposals for policy changes for US copyright law have caused a stir. The US is being asked how it can hold on to demands for parallel importation restrictions after the Kirtsaeng ruling, 70 year copyright terms after the Copyright Office proposed shifting them back to 50 years with formalities required for extensions, and strict restrictions on anti-circumvention liability exceptions when the Obama Administration and the Library of Congress have endorsed reforms that would violate the US proposal. Barbara Weisel stated that USTR is "doing what we can to work with Congress" to make sure that the TPP will not restrict policy options. But negotiators have said that there has been no visible movement on the USTR's positions on Copyright issues, which will be negotiated this week.And, of course, once again, the USTR appears to have no plans to be transparent in the slightest.
And there is no plan to release any text to the public. This is stark contrast to the last to plurilateral agreements including countries in the region. The Free Trade Area for the Americas and the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement both released full texts of the negotiating document with brackets indicating text under consideration before the finalization of the texts. For ACTA, there were four publicly released texts between April 2010 and May 2011. For the TPP – none yet, despite the Chief Negotiators' pronouncement of end of year finalization plans.Considering how much controversy there is over these items, it seems ridiculous that we still can't actually see what's being negotiated in our name -- especially when there's quite reasonable fears that it could mess with the democratic process of potentially rewriting copyright law.

A Partial Ordering of some Category Theory applied to Haskell
First a warning: Category Theory Screws You Up!.
The first theme has to be monads of course. But don't forget: monads don't do anything. They're simply an interface to something that you must already have implemented some other way. So don't believe all that hype about how monads are what allow Haskell to use side effects and I/O.
- If you just want to use IO and don't care about monads: The IO Monad for People who Simply Don't Care
- This gets more hits than anything else on my blog: You Could Have Invented Monads! (And Maybe You Already Have.)
- The Trivial Monad
- Homeland Security Threat Level Monad
- Monads, Kleisli Arrows, Comonads and other Rambling Thoughts
- The idea that monads give a way to describe substitutions in a tree forms the basis for this and the next two posts: Variable substitution gives a...
- Monads are Trees with Grafting
- Where do monads come from?
- From Monoids to Monads
- Some thoughts on reasoning and monads
- The Mother of all Monads
- Beyond Monads
Fold and Unfold
I think this is one of the great applications of Category Theory to Computer Science. Structural recursion can be characterised really nicely in terms of F-algebras. That's cool. But even cooler is that when you dualise the definitions you get a great way to look at non-terminating computations on things like streams.
Commutative Monads and Vector Spaces
Trying to order these is tricky. I'm not sure I define the term commutative monad until the talk.
- I realised a while back that the operation to build a vector space from a basis is a monad. In fact, like many well known algebraic structures, we get a commutative monad. Monads for vector spaces, probability and quantum mechanics pt. I
- Monads, Vector Spaces and Quantum Mechanics pt. II
- Trace Diagrams with Monads
- A talk this time: Commutative Monads, Diagrams and Knots
- And what happens when you try to use a non-commutative monad when a commutative monad is expected: Why isn't ListT a monad?
I'm not sure the killer application for comonads has been found yet. But I do think they're good for things like dataflow and cellular automata fit the comonad model very well:
- Evaluating cellular automata is comonadic
- Comonadic Arrays
- Comonads and reading from the future
- The Monads Hidden Behind Every Zipper
- Categories of polynomials and comonadic plumbing
Category Theory
And these are generally categorical articles
- You Could Have Defined Natural Transformations
- Reverse Engineering Machines with the Yoneda Lemma
- A Yonedic Addendum
- Applying the Yoneda lemma to memoize functions that at first seem unmemoizable: Memoizing Polymorphic Functions with High School Algebra and Quantifiers
- Products, Limits and Parametric Polymorphism
- Dinatural Transformations and Coends
- The goal here was not to understand what Category Theory applies to Haskell, but how Haskell code can be interpreted in other categories: "What Category do Haskell Types and Functions Live In?"
- A first step towards 2-category theory: The Interchange Law

Slow to Anger
June 27, 2013 in Uncategorized
James 1:19My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
I like kneeling in church. At Saint Ann's, there were many parts of the service where we knelt. At our new church, there are only a few; still, I kneel at all the points in the service where I did back at Saint Ann's. i feel more prayerful, sure; but I also feel more connected to the energy that first brought me into the Episcopalian fold.
Our pew at Saint S— is wide. It is a special pew for families, right up front. Rather than a kneeler, there is a wide space with a carpet runner for children to play during services. A basket full of toys sits on the floor, along with a tote full of crafting supplies. Children's books generously donated by Mother K's son sit next to hymnals and prayer books in the racks.
As I kneel, secreted in the curtain of my long hair, little cars make roads around me. Chubby hands push crumpled bits of glue covered paper beneath the veil. Sometimes, the privacy of my meditative curtain is pushed aside, and two dark brown eyes light up the space beneath.
"Mama? Mama?? Can you hear me? Watch this!" comes the small, urgent whisper of my son, He is reaching through the foil. He has found me.
My boy loves this set-up. This is the perfect mix for a kid like him. At once deeply spiritual, and yet only four, he can be four and still be a part of church. When Mother K moves down the aisle, he stops playing and moves toward her. If the time is right, she puts out her hand and he joins the procession.
Last summer, after the storm that changed our lives, we spent a few months living at Saint Ann's. One late night my then 3 1/2-year-old son asked me, "Mama, can I be the one who stands up front and teaches about love and peace?"
I think I stopped breathing for a few small seconds.
"You mean the priest?" I asked him.
"Yes," he said. "I want to teach about love and peace. I want to be the one to give the communion."
Since then, he has continued to tell me this. Whenever he can get involved more deeply in the services at Saint S—, he does. Bits of folded paper pile up around me, beads and feathers in my hands and shoes, but when Mother K moves, his energy shifts. He is ready to be mini-priest whenever he can.
Some at church are delighted by this. They can see his passion and they marvel at it. When he sprinkles them with holy water and unrelenting joy, the blessed drops fall like a living rain. "Your son!" they say to me during coffee hour, "He's really something! He's just so beautiful! So radiant!"
I don't take credit for it. I am just as amazed at they. "He's different," I say to them, "He has a light inside."
"Yes!" they say, "He shines!"
For some, a shine is dazzling. For some, it hurts the eyes. And ears. And any other sense that is touched by a child who is small, and four, and not completely still.
My son doesn't sit in the pew next to me. He may crawl under it to get to a friend, or down the side isle to get to another. In our church, there are very few children. The few there are spend church in the nursery. J doesn't want to be in the nursery. He wants to be with me, and he wants to be a part of the service.
We are a gentle parenting family. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means that I am o.k. with him crawling down the side aisle, as long as others are not unduly disturbed in their worship. It means that I expect from my four-year-old boy behavior appropriate for a four-year-old boy, which doesn't include sitting still in a seat in silence for 40 minutes. It means that no matter what I hope he will do or what I wish he would do, that I first consider what is developmentally appropriate before I respond.
And when I respond, it means I won't respond with punishments. And I won't respond with rewards (or bribes, whatever you might call them). I talk to my son like I want others to talk to me. I give weight to his position, his feelings, and realize that our priorities are probably not the same. We work for balance between us, and solutions that work for us as a team, not just forced compliance for the sake of saving public face.
Which is great for us as a family. We are Team Q, and we tackle everything together. When I need help, I call on Team Q. My sweet son never refuses to help me when I need him. He wipes tables, puts away dishes, folds clothes (that I usually refold later) and rushes to be a part of anything that needs to be done for the sake of the The Team.
I listen to him. What he wants matters. It matters that he needs to fold paper, or that he needs squish glue. As long as, in church, he can do it at a low volume, with respect to others, I call that harmony.
Of course, you can't please all of the people all of the time. I have also heard from a minority at our church that my son and I spend too much time together (Attachment Parenting) and that his activity in church requires Discipline.
Just this past Sunday, I asked a friend at church if she had some beginner piano books to lend. My sweet budding priest is also a budding musician. In great kindness, she gave us a set of books for him to explore.
As we stood there talking my son was losing his patience. He had already spent an hour in church, an hour after church, had helped wash the dishes and was ready to play outside. He is four. And really, that is a pretty long day for four.
As she and I talked, J pulled on my sleeve. "Just a minute," I said. She was talking about Discipline. I felt my face getting hot. I was anxious to finish my conversation and make my point.
I am very aware of how some people view my son. When he exhibits normal impatience, my own impatience starts to rise and I can forget my Gentle Parenting Credo. Instead of telling my ADULT friend, who is practiced in waiting, to wait, I asked my tiny son: WAIT.
"I have home schooled students," said our friend. "I don't know what this one mother does, but when she tells her kids to stop they will stop on a dime. Children need to be disciplined."
My sleeve got longer as my adult friend told me how important discipline was for children. My embarrassment grew with my sleeve as I asked J again to Wait.
"Are you saying J lacks Discipline?" I heard myself say, through my haze of discomfort and impatience.
My mind was too mucky to really hear my friend or my son. I was stuck in the vile place of parenting sin and parenting shame, looking like a bad mother to her and acting like a bad mother to my son.
"Mama! Please! Come see this!"
Different priorities. Now, he was making small, punctuated growls. And I was trying to make a point.
I don't even remember what she said. But as she made her Grand Point, I was hit by a small, black shoe.
She walked away, and I turned to my son. My connection button was disconnected. I was overstimulated. I could no longer think.
"MAMA! COME see THIS!"
I stood in shock for a second, and then said no. I chose the no over losing my cool. I chose it over venting. I said no, and I walked to the door.
Behind me came a flurry of tiny feet, and a tearful voice shouting, "MAMA!"
I stopped.
My little guru shouted through his tears, "We need to Stop and HUG, right now! Do it!"
And there it was. The clarity of gentle parenting. The clarity of scripture. The clarity of all that matters at the center of our lives. Love.
I stopped. I hugged. I reconnected. I found our center.
I looked into the face of my remarkable child.
"Mama," he said, "Let's try again.
And in this expression of God's grace, we did.
James 3:17
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

MIAMI (Reuters) - World number one Rory McIlroy said his confidence was returning from its lowest point ever after shooting a one-under round of 71 at the WGC-Cadillac Championship on Saturday.
McIlroy made six birdies as he recovered from a poor start with a bogey on the third and a double-bogey on the next hole, where he found water.
Having failed to make below par this year until Friday's second round, another scorecard in the red was clearly pleasing to the Northern Irishman as he tries to get his swing back in order and his confidence with it.
"It was probably the lowest it's ever been. But I guess putting in the hard work and knowing what I'm doing is the right thing, and that I'm going in the right direction, gives me confidence going into the next few weeks," he told reporters after finishing his round on the Blue Monster course at Doral.
"Even the bad shots are coming out of the middle of the clubface. I'm excited about my game, coming into this week, I was a bit down about it. But after these few days and seeing some shots that I've hit on the course, I'm a lot happier going forward."
While McIlroy has never been even close to being in contention this week, he has managed to put aside the controversy that surrounded his mid-round walkoff at the Honda Classic last week.
McIlroy had played his first eight holes at the PGA National at seven-over and after quitting his second round, spent the weekend trying to get his swing fixed.
One week on, the 23-year-old certainly looks a more relaxed and happier figure on the course.
"This time last week, I was standing on the range at The Bear's Club grinding my ass off trying to find a swing that worked.
"To practice it and put it into play this week, and actually see some good results. I'm definitely in a better place," he said.
While McIlroy has looked more controlled off the tee, it has been his short game that has cost him some strokes this week and he said he intends to turn to that side of his game before his next tournament in Houston on March 28.
"I just sort of neglected the wedge play and chipping, just because I've been working so hard on my swing," he said.
"But I feel like that's getting better now and I can devote a little bit more time to the wedge play and get that sharp, as well."

With about 20 clinical trials underway for retinal degenerative diseases, and many more ready to launch soon, the buzz about signing up for them has never been louder. When it comes to human studies for potential treatments and cures, everybody wants in.
At the VISIONS 2014 session titled "Clinical Trials: Am I Ready?" Christine Kay, M.D., Shannon Boye, Ph.D., and Jacque Duncan, M.D., reviewed the factors that help determine whether someone will qualify for a clinical trial. A person's genetic profile, retinal condition, visual ability, age and residence are all key characteristics that clinical researchers consider when selecting participants. The investigators also noted that finding an adequate number of participants for the studies is often challenging.
But Dr. Duncan, the new chairman of the Foundation's Scientific Advisory Board, cautioned that participation in a human study is not a fast track to treatment. "If we knew the therapy was going to be safe and effective, we wouldn't be doing the trial," she said during her closing remarks.
However, Dr. Duncan explained, patient participation is essential to gaining regulatory approval for therapies so everyone can get access to them. "People who participate in clinical trials are absolutely critical to pushing the research forward," she said to an audience of more than 100 attendees. "You are pioneers who are going to help us get to the point where we can make a difference for the future. We can't move treatments into the clinic without you."
Considering the rousing applause she received for her insights, there are plenty of FFB member-pioneers ready to blaze the retinal-research trail.

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate race wasn't high on the list of toss-up races.
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate race wasn't high on the list of toss-up races.
But a good, old-fashioned attack ad brawl may be chipping away the margins, according to recent poll numbers.
In one corner stands the presumable prince of Pennsylvania politics, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr.
The Scranton-born Democrat, son of former Gov. Bob Casey, served as the commonwealth's auditor general and treasurer before heading to Washington in 2007.
From steel to small business, he says his top priority for Pennsylvania is jobs.
In the other corner, there's Tom Smith, a former coal mine owner from Armstrong County.
The largely self-financed Republican challenger lacks the name recognition of Casey, but he's trying to use that to his advantage. He's no career politician, you'll hear him say in his latest ad.
Whereas Casey once had a solid lead, poll numbers released Wednesday show Smith closing in. The shift comes after a rousing round of televised attack ads throughout September.
A poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University, CBS News and The New York Times shows Casey leading with 49 percent of the vote against Smith's 43 percent.
The poll, conducted Sept. 18 through Sept. 24, surveyed 1,180 likely Pennsylvania voters with a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points.
But it shows a marked leap in Smith's likely supporters. In August, a similar poll from Quinnipiac had Casey ahead by a margin of 18 percentage points.
The numbers pushed The Washington Post's "The Fix" blog to classify the Senate race as "lean Democratic," as opposed to "solid Democratic."
In responding to the news about the poll numbers, Larry Smar, Casey's campaign manager, said in an email to PA Independent that Smith's "divisive brand of politics is too extreme for Pennsylvania."
He dismissed anything conclusive about the polls.
"Public polls have been all over the place," Smar said. "Tom Smith has dumped millions of his personal fortune into attack ads. A lot of people don't yet know Tom Smith's record of founding a tea party group and pushing policies to dismantle Medicare in order to give more tax cuts for the wealthy."
The Smith campaign took advantage of the gains, releasing a statement touting the results. Smith "has clearly captured the momentum," said his campaign manager, Jim Conroy.
"Voters are rejecting Bob Casey's misleading negative attacks in favor of Tom's positive vision for the future and detailed plan to grow the economy and create jobs," said Conroy's statement.
Casey swung at Smith with a Sept. 12 ad introducing voters to "Tea Party Tom Smith," in which he chews out Smith's proposed policy changes.
"But is Tom Smith your cup of tea? He wants to privatize Social Security and end Medicare as we know it, making seniors pay $6,000 more all while giving even more tax breaks to the wealthy," the narrator says.

Bernice Quick, age 83, of St. James died on Tuesday, October 2, 2012, at the Good Samaritan Society-Sogge Memorial Home in Windom.
Bernice Quick, age 83, of St. James died on Tuesday, October 2, 2012, at the Good Samaritan Society-Sogge Memorial Home in Windom. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m., Saturday, October 6, 2012, at St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran Church in St. James with Rev. Martin Lopahs officiating. Burial will be at Mt. Hope Cemetery in St. James. Visitation will be Friday at Sturm Funeral Home in St. James from 5pm until 8 p.m. and at the church one hour before services on Saturday. You may send the family condolences online at www.sturmfh.com. Arrangements are with Sturm Funeral Home in St. James.
Bernice was born May 11, 1929 to Alfred and Marie (Niemeier) Engel. She grew up on the family farm in South Branch Township. She was baptized and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church, So. Branch and attended the church's school through eighth grade. Following her graduation from St. James High School in 1947 she worked in the Watonwan Co. School Superintendent's office. On Christmas Day 1949 she married Warren Quick at St. John's, So. Branch. The following spring they moved to a farm in Rosendale Township. Here they raised their three children: Wendy, Kathryn and Bruce. Bernice helped Warren on the farm, gardened, sewed and raised chickens, ducks and geese. Following her marriage Bernice joined St. Paul's, St. James where she was an Evening Guild member and taught Sunday School for many years. From 1980-86 she and Warren served St. Paul's as church custodians. Following Warren's death in 1986 she began working part-time at Hardee's where she remaining employed until the business closed. In 1992 Bernice moved into St. James. Bernice, most often with her sister Evelyn, enjoyed traveling, playing cards, going to coffee at the Hometown, and most importantly spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren's activities. In 2007 the first signs of dementia appeared. In March of 2010 she moved into assisted
living where she remained until Aug. of this year when she was admitted to Sogge Good Samaritan Windom. It was here that she died Oct. 2, 2012.
Bernice is survived by her children; Wendy (Richard) Meyer of Mt. Lake, Kathy (Skip) Benz of Sioux Falls, S.D., and Bruce Quick of New Prague; sisters, Evelyn Lupke of St. James, Harriet Jean (Tom) Wright of Tacoma, Wash.; brother, Myron (Sally) Engel of St. James; grandchildren, Dana (Ryan) Hanson, Blair (Dan) Voigt, Zachary Benz, Christopher Benz, and Nicholas (Klarissa) Benz.

Ken Thomson is a Brooklyn-based clarinetist, saxophonist, and composer.
In demand as a composer and freelancer in many settings, he moves quickly between genres and scenes, bringing a fiery intensity and emotional commitment to every musical situation. Called "the hardest-working saxophonist in new-music show business" by Time Out NY, he plays saxophone and is one of the 3 composers in the punk/jazz band Gutbucket, with whom he has toured internationally to 19 countries and 32 states over ten years, and released CDs for Knitting Factory, Enja, NRW, Cantaloupe and Cuneiform Records. He has created a new project of exclusively his music called Slow/Fast that was featured in 2010 at NYC's heralded Winter Jazzfest and whose debut CD It Would Be Easier If was released internationally on Intuition Records in September 2010, garnering a long feature in The New York Times highlighting the "intricately wrought and incident-steeped" compositions and "gutsy precision of the playing."
He is a faculty member at the Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival and Institute, and co-leads Bang on a Can's newest band, the Asphalt Orchestra - a 12-piece next-generation avant-garde marching band, called "cooly brilliant, infectious... top notch players" by The New York Times. He is a Conn-Selmer Artist, and endorses Sibelius software.
As a composer, he has been commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra, Bang on a Can, the True/False Film Festival, and others, and has received awards from ASCAP and Meet the Composer. The New York Times wrote of his work Wait Your Turn for the American Composers Orchestra upon its debut at Carnegie Hall in October 2007: "The concert ended on a high note.... the music offered a density worthy of the closing bars of a Led Zeppelin epic;" and of his work seasonal.disorder for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, "a virtuoso piece... a texture laced with power chords, screaming clarinet lines and cluster-laden piano writing. In the end it is sheer madness, in a good, thrillingly visceral way." The Philadelphia Inquirer also noted: "Thomson's Wait Your Turn is as visceral as music can be."
His saxophone nonet, "Rut," was featured on the Bang on a Can Marathon in 2009. His through-composed rescoring of the 22-minute 1936 British film "Night Mail" was called "a masterful re-imagining of an old classic" by Indiewire.com upon its debut in March 2007 at the True/False Film Festival. His 2006 clarinet quintet "How to Play" has been played in the US and Australia by multiple ensembles. The San Francisco Weekly writes about his music, "Thomson's original compositions are as complex as a beehive, filled with amber-hued nooks and crannies that bear traces of jazz, world music, and classical, without succumbing to any of them."
As a saxophonist and clarinetist, he is a member of the internationally-touring punk/cabaret band World/Inferno Friendship Society, next-generation chamber orchestra Signal (conducted by Brad Lubman), Jody Redhage's art-song/world-jazz group Fire in July, the all-improvised No Net Trio, and was a co-founder of punk/chamber composer-performer collective Anti-Social Music. He is a frequent collaborator with new-composed music groups Alarm Will Sound (on their 2009 Nonesuch Records debut, "A/rhythmia"), International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), So Percussion, and more. He has also worked as a music director, most recently directing composer Julia Wolfe's "Traveling Music" at the Bordeaux Conservatory, France, 2009.

Sometimes, in the midst of the madness of event organization, all the elements come together. The US SUP Tour this weekend at Trestles had everything: great weather, contestable waves and some of the best competitors in the world showcasing standup paddling at it's finest.
"When it all works out, it's nice to just sit back and enjoy it for a minute," said organizer Ian Cairns who barely had a minute to enjoy it while trying to take care of judges, competitors shuttles and all that goes into a world-class event.
Saturday, Fernando Stalla and Halie Harrison opened up action with wins in a hotly contested surf race. Matt Becker and Slater Trout finished 2nd and 3rd while Lucy Bell and Tamara Lentz finished second and third on the women's side.
Father's Day Sunday saw great waves at Church for the surf event where Sean Poynter won the men's competition and Emmy Merrill finished atop the women's podium, taking her second consecutive US SUP Tour victory. Halie Harrison capped a stellar weekend, finishing third in the women's comp while Candice Appleby finished second making her first return to competition after surgery on her hand. Tommy Lloy ended in second for the men while Mo Freitas ended third.

Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle has been fined $25,000 for criticizing the officiating after Dallas' loss to Golden State.
With the Mavs trailing 98-97 on Thursday, Brandan Wright had the ball knocked away while going up for a shot, and no foul was called. The Warriors went on to win 100-97 at home.
Carlisle was particularly frustrated because the NBA had acknowledged the referees made a mistake in the final seconds of a loss at Portland two days earlier.
On Thursday, Carlisle said: "The game came down to the call that wasn't made. Brandan Wright got hit on the arm. And it's obvious. And it's two (games) in a row." He added: "I'm very concerned about what's happening at the end of games with the officials."
On Saturday, Carlisle sent a text message to reporters saying he spoke to the league office and agreed with the fine. He says the comments were "not appropriate."

Exceeding Expectations
Emmanuel's innovative academic programs, dedicated career development and Boston location lay the foundation for successful careers.
This semester, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Benjamin Allen is challenging the students in his Senior Seminar to grapple with some of the field's most difficult problems—the solutions to which have stumped mathematicians for centuries.
This semester, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Benjamin Allen is challenging the students in his Senior Seminar to grapple with some of the field's most difficult problems-the solutions to which have stumped mathematicians for centuries.
The Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) established the Millennium Prize Problems in 2000 to celebrate mathematics in the new millennium. CMI's Scientific Advisory Board selected the seven problems, considered, at the time, to be the greatest unsolved problems in the field, and the Institute's Board of Directors allocated $1 million for the solution of each problem. Though there are millions of dollars on the line, Allen hopes his students take away lessons that are much more valuable.
"I wanted to give students a sense of math as an active, ongoing process," Allen said. "The material that students learn in undergraduate courses has been settled a long time ago. I want them to understand that there are many questions that are not yet settled, and I want to give them the sense of the processes and techniques mathematicians are using to investigate them."
Allen and his class spend a week on each problem, first reviewing the history and mathematical background to get a better understanding of the problem's origins. For most of the problems, Allen said, the class is able to build up to the actual statement of the problem, but in a few cases the problem itself is so deep that he can only hint at what it says. For all of them, the students practice techniques that mathematicians have used to solve similar, but much simpler, problems.
Nearly 14 years later, six of the problems still remain unsolved. The Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman solved the Poincaré Conjecture in 2003, but turned down the prize money.
"The Poincaré Conjecture has to do with how we can tell mathematically whether two shapes are different," said Assistant Professor of Mathematics and department chair Yulia Dementieva. "For instance, a coffee mug may look different than a doughnut, but if you made a coffee mug from flexible clay, you could deform it into a doughnut shape by 'squishing' the cup part into the handle. On the other hand, there is no way to squish a doughnut into a solid ball without collapsing the hole in the center."
Allen's students attempted to mathematically distinguish between the doughnut and sphere shapes by drawing triangles on regular spherical balloons and special doughnut-shaped balloons and then counted the number of vertices (V), edges (E) and faces (F) that result. With the spherical balloons, the students discovered that the equation V+F=E+2 was true no matter how many triangles were drawn. For the doughnut-shaped balloons, the triangles satisfied a different equation: V+F=E.
These relationships, which were first noted by 18th-century Swiss mathematician and physicist Leonhard Euler, form the basis of the modern research field of algebraic topology.
"I want to deepen their awe and wonder of mathematics," Allen said, "and also give them some understanding of the landscape of contemporary research mathematics. These problems are far from comprehensive, but they are a good starting point as to what mathematical questions are important right now."
Even before the Millennium Prize Problems were established, mathematicians have devoted their careers to each of these, Allen noted. The Riemann hypothesis, in particular, has puzzled mathematicians for centuries, and quite possibly, for centuries to come.
"The nature of mathematics is such that it is possible to spend one's career just making progress on one of these problems, leaving the actual solution to future generations."
Yang-Mills and Mass Gap
Experiment and computer simulations suggest the existence of a "mass gap" in the solution to the quantum versions of the Yang-Mills equations. But no proof of this property is known.
Riemann Hypothesis
The prime number theorem determines the average distribution of the primes. The Riemann hypothesis tells us about the deviation from the average. Formulated in Riemann's 1859 paper, it asserts that all the 'non-obvious' zeros of the zeta function are complex numbers with real part 1/2.
P vs NP Problem
If it is easy to check that a solution to a problem is correct, is it also easy to solve the problem? This is the essence of the P vs NP question. Typical of the NP problems is that of the Hamiltonian Path Problem: given N cities to visit, how can one do this without visiting a city twice? If you give me a solution, I can easily check that it is correct. But I cannot so easily find a solution.
Navier-Stokes Equation
This is the equation which governs the flow of fluids such as water and air. However, there is no proof for the most basic questions one can ask: do solutions exist, and are they unique? Why ask for a proof? Because a proof gives not only certitude, but also understanding.
Hodge Conjecture
The answer to this conjecture determines how much of the topology of the solution set of a system of algebraic equations can be defined in terms of further algebraic equations. The Hodge conjecture is known in certain special cases, e.g., when the solution set has dimension less than four. But in dimension four it is unknown.
Poincaré Conjecture
In 1904 the French mathematician Henri Poincaré asked if the three dimensional sphere is characterized as the unique simply connected three manifold. This question, the Poincaré conjecture, was a special case of Thurston's geometrization conjecture. Perelman's proof tells us that every three manifold is built from a set of standard pieces, each with one of eight well-understood geometries.
Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture
Supported by much experimental evidence, this conjecture relates the number of points on an elliptic curve mod p to the rank of the group of rational points. Elliptic curves, defined by cubic equations in two variables, are fundamental mathematical objects that arise in many areas: Wiles' proof of the Fermat Conjecture, factorization of numbers into primes, and cryptography, to name three.
Emmanuel is a place where students broaden their sense of what's possible and prepare for inspiring careers in an ever-changing world. Be here.

Tulowitzki HR lifts Rox past Reds
Cincinnati, OH – Troy Tulowitzki came through with the go- ahead two-run home run in the eighth inning, helping the Colorado Rockies edge the Cincinnati Reds, 5-4, in the middle edition of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
Jonathan Herrera contributed three hits and two RBI, while Dexter Fowler added a run-scoring hit for the Rockies, who snapped a six-game losing streak against the Reds dating back to last season.
"A big-time home run by a big-time player," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said of Tulowitzki. "It doesn't get any more clutch than that."
Josh Outman (2-0) recorded the final two outs in the seventh to snag the win, while Rex Brothers shut the door in the ninth for his second save.
Ryan Hanigan drove in two runs and Todd Frazier went 2-for-4 -- his fourth straight two-hit game -- with one RBI and two runs scored for the Reds.
Homer Bailey bounced back from his worst outing of the year, surrendering three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts over seven frames.
He was primed for the win until Sam LeCure (1-1) dished a full-count, belt- high fastball that Tulowitzki slammed to left center following a walk to Carlos Gonzalez.
"Today just wasn't my day," LeCure said. "I've been throwing the ball well, and people kept reminding me of that, and I kept saying, 'Someday, it's going to end.' It didn't have to be today."
The Rockies got to Bailey early by putting three runs on the board in the second.
Michael Cuddyer led off the inning with a single, extending his hitting streak to eight games. Two batters later, Yorvit Torrealba connected on a ground-rule double to put runners on second and third with one out. Herrera hit a sharp double down the first base line to give the Rockies a 2-0 lead.
Fowler singled home Herrera to increase the lead to three.
The Reds responded with a Frazier double to start the home half of the second, followed by a groundout to move the runner to third. Hanigan grounded out to short to salvage a run and cut the deficit to 3-1.
In the fourth, Frazier hit a bullet off the glove of diving third baseman DJ LeMahieu for an RBI double, which allowed Joey Votto to come around from first. Hanigan tied the game up later in the frame with a double to left that drove in Frazier, who advanced to third on a wild pitch.
With the game knotted up at three apiece in the seventh and runners on the corners with one out, Rockies reliever Edgmer Escalona was charged with a balk that forced in a run to give the Reds a 4-3 lead.
Rockies starter Juan Nicasio hurled six solid innings, allowing three runs on five hits while walking two with three strikeouts.
Game Notes
Tulowitzki leads all shortstops with 13 home runs ... The Reds are 21-8 at Great American Ball Park ... Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips has missed the last three games with a left forearm contusion ... The Reds were 2-for-13 with RISP ... LeCure ended his 10 1/3 scoreless inning streak in the eighth ...Reds pitchers have had five straight quality starts.

HSAAs fall to Argentina U18s
The USA Rugby Boys High School All-Americans lost to Argentina U18s by a score of 9-57 Wednesday in Argentina. The HSAAs will have another shot at redemption Saturday when they end their South America Tour with another match against the national side.
It took Argentina six minutes to score their first try off a line-out driven maul and sustained pressure inside the HSAA 22-meter. HSAA fly-half Ben Cima responded with two penalty goals to give the visitors a 6-5 lead at 13 minutes.
Argentina established a successful pattern of dominating time of possession and field position, pinning the HSAAs into their 22-meter zone. The Pumas kicked to the corners, forcing clearance kicks by the HSAAs and sustained pressure. This culminated in three more tries from Argentina bringing the half-time score to 24-6.
The second half produced more of the same. The HSAAs, starved of possession, struggled to respond to a big, skilled, and fast Argentinian side. Five tries with four converted brought the total to nine tries on the day while the HSAAs managed three penalties from Ben Cima.
"The scoreline is virtually the same margin of defeat as last year," said Head Coach Salty Thompson, despite the improvements in this year's HSAA team. "The real test is how we bounce back on Saturday. The rematch gives our boys the rare opportunity to retest and improve against the best U18 National team in the Americas."

No, the characters are 2-d and story is not surprising at all. The voice acting is meh-nice but I wouldn't watch it. It could ruin the theme for you.

It's All About the Environment, Stupid
We all saw the environment play out on a national scale in the 2008 election campaign season. It's now also getting planks in local campaign platforms across the midsection of America, with some interesting characters spouting some pretty dense green concepts to the electorate. In my prep work for this trip, I ran across a guy running for mayor in the small midwestern river town of Moline, Ill. Ahead of elections in April, Lewis Demetri is pushing a "Moline on the Mississippi" project to reshape his town using green values.

I like a book that tells a story while teaching me a little something along the way; I like when the writer's personality is revealed in their prose; and I like when a book makes me feel like I am not the only one that marvels at what nature and people can do. Here are my 2010 picks for just this sort of thing.
I loved "Insectopedia" by Hugh Raffles (Random House 2010). This book is a collection of essays, experiences, musings, and some journalism. Raffles explores the natural world and our relationship to it (or our lack there of).

"A southern girl with a ghostly voice, Frazer spent a while fronting Tarnation, a band whose '95 Gentle Creatures (on 4AD) is a lost classic of ethereal folk-rock." –- Entertainment Weekly
"Paula Frazer and Tarnation's Now It's Time is pretty much a perfect record. After Frazer's solo outing, she has returned to Tarnation to create yet another work of psychedelic alt-country." -- Abby White, Performing Songwriter
"Frazer writes lovely, melancholy love songs cloaked in mystery and reverb, and that distinctive voice is still enchanting, especially when she fully embraces the sade thing on the lover's valediction "August's Song" and the wistful "Sleeping Dreams" with its ghostly pedal steel and mournful harmonies." -- Steve Klinge/Harp (March April) "Paula Frazer's voice is pure bliss... Leave The Sad Things Behind is the name of her album, and it sounds like she did…all over these 10 amazing tracks. Brilliant." -- Performing Songwriter (Nov 2005)
"[Paula's voice] has what a lot of singers' lack, namely range: It combines the guileless, bracing alto clarity of Patsy Cline, the mournful wail of Roy Orbison, and the crisp Appalachian austerity of the Carter Family. Add that to Frazer's poised songcraft, which evokes the grim territories of Nicks Drake and Cave....as fine a soundtrack for disconsolate, haunted contemplation as one is likely to find." -- SF Weekly
" ...a voice both tender and vulnerable, and she can hit notes that would've made Roy Orbison jealous.... Frazer emotes a heartfelt pathos and palpable sense of loss...that can choke me up like no other singer can, with the possible exception of Willie Nelson. If you're the crying kind, bring your hankie, and maybe a dozen red roses for Frazer – she deserves them more than any overblown opera diva does." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Frazer's voice has the grande-dame grandeur of Oum Kalthoum, the Southern-belle chime of Patsy Cline, and the rococo phrasing of Joan Baez." -- Spin Magazine

Platform Building for Writers

Thanks so much Charmaine. I'll check out that site.ReplyDelete
I love her blog and congrats on signing up!ReplyDelete
Good stuff and very true!ReplyDelete
I've watched the crusade through several cycles. It's a cool idea, but I don't think it's does anything for anyone's platform, other than Rachel's. Once it's over, everyone goes back to doing what they did before. That's not a platform from my understanding of the definition. ;)ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to see what she comes up with this time. The assignments are always very challenging.
Fellow Campaigner here. Yes, building a platform is important, but I don't think collecting other authors helps that much. It's a great way to get to know very interesting people, the ones that share a bizarre addiction of putting words on an empty page, but I don't think having many author friends will help selling my book(s). But I don't care. I love the campaigner challenges. ;-)ReplyDelete
hi Charmaine! Thanks for stopping by my blog. So nice to meet you. I've never been to Australia, but I really want to go. The closest I've been in New Zealand. My parents go there every year for a few months while my dad teaches at the University of Dunedin.ReplyDelete

Chez Bob
Worth the encore
Chez Bob is a little bit elegant or a little bit awkward, depending on your perspective. Mine changed dramatically between my first visit, two years ago, and my recent return. After writing the place off, I was drawn back by rumors of major improvements in both service and food.
Organic beef, free-range chicken and wild-caught salmon from the Fish Hugger are standard, according to the new manager, a man named Counts. The salads are made of butterhead and romaine lettuce, a major improvement over the tired, bagged mix I remembered.
A former market and Community Supported Agriculture farmer, Counts used to raise three acres of organic vegetables with no fossil fuels. His farm is in transition now that he's taken the helm at Chez Bob. He plans on growing squash and tomatoes for the restaurant next year. Unlike the many servers who look at you blankly when you ask where something is from, Counts is encyclopedic about the sources of his food. Not everything served there is as sustainable as he wishes, but it's encouraging to know he's pushing for as many local, organic ingredients as are economically feasible.
In addition to bringing in Counts to do the ordering and orchestrate the action in the front of the house, Robert Maw, aka Bob, has taken over the kitchen from a series of chefs that, he told me, were talented but unreliable.
The French/Italian restaurant occupies the end of a strip mall in La Cueva Town Center at Paseo and Wyoming. Huge burgundy window dressings push into a tiny dining room. The walls hold multiple paintings of women in various stages of undress. A long bank of kitchen cabinets covers the east wall and faces the dining room like a big, open bus station. Fresh flowers grace the tables, which, along with the improvements in service and food, upgrades the ambience from awkward to solidly eclectic.
The housemade dressing on the Caesar salad is one of the best I've had. It was so rich that just a light drizzle was all I needed. The romaine heart leaves came topped with high-grade anchovies, and there's an option for a piece of chicken that's worth exercising. I also recommend squeezing the accompanying lemon wedge over the whole thing to complete this excellent, simple salad. I only wish it were bigger. The house salad, comprised mostly of succulent butterhead leaves, was larger than the Caesar and excellent as well—though I was less into the dressing, a balsamic reduction that was too sweet for me.
If the Nutella crepe doesn't get you laid by the time you get home, it's probably never going to happen.
The lunch menu is a pared-down version of the dinner menu in smaller, cheaper portions, while dinner includes European classics like beef Wellington and sole meunière. My favorite was a plate of immense diver scallops in a clarified beurre blanc, flanked with a rainbow of perfectly roasted yellow and purple potatoes.
Green chile chicken Alfredo lasagna was a study in richness, with bits of chicken and green chile embedded in the ricotta mortar between layers of pasta. Like many of the dishes at Chez Bob—and in France, for that matter—this one caters to those who like their food supersaturated. The flavor of green chile was faint but present.
Chez Bob's crepes, both sweet and savory, could hold their own on the streets of Paris. The spongy pancake soaked up sauces perfectly—as was the case with a beef bourguignon's braising liquid. The tender beef and whole button mushrooms made for a satisfying filling, and I used shards of leftover crepe to clean my plate.
The ratatouille crepe bears the distinction of being one of the few menu items that isn't drenched in butter or cream. Earthy and simple, it lived up to that vegetable stew's history as a simple classic.
On the sweet side, if the Nutella crepe doesn't get you laid by the time you get home, it's probably never going to happen. The world's favorite chocolate hazelnut paste was mixed with whipped cream, making it impossibly big, rich and fluffy. Bread pudding came recommended, but it reminded me too much of French toast. Truth be told, I haven't forgotten the spectacular chocolate crème brûlée from my first visit.
If, like me, your first trip to Chez Bob was a letdown, it might be time for a return visit. It's already greatly improved, and I'm confident that as long as boss Bob keeps holding down the kitchen while Counts orders the best ingredients he can, the future looks even brighter.

Zebra Mussel Introduction Thwarted on Lake Texoma
Alert marina employee finds infested boat, calls TPWD game warden
AUSTIN — Lake Texoma narrowly avoided the introduction of zebra mussels the week of October 10 thanks to the efforts of employees of Highport Marina in Pottsboro.
Service technician Tim Ray was inspecting a boat that had just arrived from Wisconsin when he noticed clusters of mussels attached to the trim tabs and outdrive of the 27-foot power boat.
"There were probably a thousand or so of them," Ray said. "They were hard to see, because the boat had not been washed and they had slime covering them. I picked one off and cleaned it up, saw stripes on it and figured it was a zebra mussel. I'd seen warnings about them, and figured I might see some one day."
Ray looked up information on zebra mussels on the Internet and confirmed his suspicions. "I showed one to the service manager and said we needed to call someone."
The service manager placed a call to Grayson County game warden Dale Moses, who inspected the boat with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Inland Fisheries biologist Bruce Hysmith. The two positively identified the shellfish as zebra mussels.
The boat was immediately quarantined indoors with a tarpaulin beneath it to prevent any mussels from reaching the water.
Moses contacted the owner of the boat, who had recently moved to Texas, and informed him of the situation. The owner agreed to follow TPWD's instructions for decontaminating the boat and was issued a warning citation for possession of a prohibited exotic species.
"Mr. Ray is to be commended for being aware of what zebra mussels are and for stopping the process of putting the boat into the water," said Moses. "Most people in his position would probably not have noticed or cared enough to stop and identify them, and would have launched the boat."
Zebra mussels are about 5/8-inch long and are named for the striped pattern of their shells, though the stripes may sometimes be absent. Native to the Black, Caspian and Azov seas of Asia, zebra mussels spread across Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries as canals were built. They were first discovered in North America in 1988 on the Great Lakes and have since spread to more than 20 states in the Mississippi River basin.
Zebra mussels have been reported to be one of the most important biological invasions into North America, and there has been tremendous effort to halt their spread to the Southern states.
Overland dispersal via boats being trailered from one body to another is known to have occurred. Under cool, humid conditions, zebra mussels can survive for several days out of water.
Zebra mussels are notorious for fouling the water supply pipes of power plants, water supply plants and industrial facilities. As many as 700,000 zebra mussels per square meter have been observed at a Michigan power plant. Such large concentrations of mussels restrict water flow, reducing intake. Zebra mussels on boats increase drag and can get into engine cooling systems and cause overheating. Zebra mussels attached to metal or concrete structures can cause corrosion and affect structural integrity. The mussels feed on the tiny organisms that form the base of the food chain for fish and may negatively impact a number of aquatic species.

16 passengers stuck on roller coaster amidst a thunderstorm
Passengers got a surprisingly short ride (and a terribly long wait) on Busch Garden's longest roller coaster, the Cheetah Hunt.
'Thrillseekers trapped 60 feet above the ground on a Busch Gardens roller coaster. 16 people were stuck for more than an hour,' 'Fox &* Friends' reported. They were stuck at an angle of about 30 degrees.
To top it all off, the malfunction occurred in the middle of a thunderstorm! Rescuers say lightning was seen within three miles of the coaster at one point, WFLA reported.
Firefighters were dispatched a little after 2:30 p.m. and used a crane from a ladder truck to retrieve the passengers. Luckily, no one was hurt in the process, but it seemed to be a pretty nerve-wracking situation.
The ordeal was probably as terrifying as the coaster itself, which launches riders to a speed of 60 MPH in just a few seconds.
The park announced the passengers were safely brought to solid ground a little after 6 p.m., and the coaster was closed down for the remainder of the day.
'Park officials don't know why the Cheetah Hunt coaster got stuck about 60 feet in the air right after the ride started. They say they are going to do a thorough investigation before they reopen it,' HLN reported.

Wearing traditional kilts and bonnets, thousands of Scotland soccer fans descended on London's Trafalgar Square on Wednesday ahead of their homeland's first game in 14 years against neighbors and fierce rivals England.
The match at Wembley Stadium came 13 months before Scotland stages a referendum on whether to break away from the UK after more than 300 years of political union with England.
Pro-independence "Yes" signs were plastered onto lion statues in the shadow of Nelson's Column and Scotland's blue-and-white Saltire flag covered walls just a few hundred meters from British Prime Minister David Cameron's Downing Street office.
Police officers kept their distance at the edges of the square, allowing fans to down beer and climb into fountains, with bagpipes setting the tone for a party atmosphere in the sun.
There was no major crowd trouble, but a 23-year-old man was arrested for being drunk and disorderly after police said he was spotted dancing naked in a fountain.
Two people were taken to a hospital with head injuries after falling from around Nelson's Column.
About 25,000 fans were estimated to have made the journey south for the 111th match against the "Auld Enemy" since the two countries' first official meeting in 1872.
International soccer's oldest rivals were forced to scrap their annual friendly matches in 1989 due to hooliganism. They previously had been called off only during World War I and World War II.
The three matches between the cross-border rivals since then have taken place because they were drawn to face each other in official competitions. The last was in 1999.
The Football Association said a considerable amount of "intelligence" had been carried out, with police prepared for the influx of fans from north of the border. Scottish police sent specialized hooligan spotters to London.
For many Scotland players and fans, the chance to face England is a high point for a national team — currently ranked 50th by FIFA — that has never won a major tournament and has not qualified for the World Cup since 1998.
Its more populous neighbor, though, is ranked 14th and on course to qualify for next year's World Cup finals in Brazil.
However, Scottish sporting spirit have been boosted after the country produced Britain's first men's Wimbledon champion since 1936, with Andy Murray winning the Grand Slam last month at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
"He has certainly given us a huge spur," said 67-year-old Roscoe Hendrie, who was wearing a Scotland shirt and kilt. "Hopefully, we have got the spirit of Andy Murray, and that lad will encourage everyone to do their best in tennis and everything else."

Aviva Premiership: World Cup winner Piri Weepu joins London Welsh
Last Updated: 11/07/14 9:35am
London Welsh have boosted their chances of survival in the Aviva Premiership next season with the signing of former New Zealand scrum-half Piri Weepu.
Weepu, who joins from Super Rugby side the Blues, represents something of a coup for Welsh, who secured promotion from the Championship in May.
The 30-year-old won the World Cup with the Kiwis in 2011 and earned 71 caps for his country, scoring 103 points along the way.
I'm hugely excited by the opportunity of joining London Welsh and at the challenge of playing in the Aviva Premiership - consistently one of the best leagues in world rugby
Piri Weepu
Weepu said: "I'm hugely excited by the opportunity of joining London Welsh and at the challenge of playing in the Aviva Premiership - consistently one of the best leagues in world rugby.
"London Welsh is an iconic and globally recognised brand in the rugby world and I'm looking forward to linking up with head coach Justin Burnell and my new London Welsh team-mates - and helping the club re-establish itself in the top flight and in Oxford."
Weepu joined the Blues for the 2012 Super 15 campaign, after eight seasons with the Hurricanes.
At provincial level he played for Auckland and Wellington, as well as representing New Zealand Maori and the All Blacks at Under-21 level.
He made his senior New Zealand debut in 2004 against Wales at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, with his last appearance coming against France in June 2013.
The experienced No 9 played an important role in the Kiwis' 2011 triumph, particularly in their knockout victories over Australia and Argentina, when he was named man of the match.
Welsh head coach Justin Burnell said: "It doesn't get much better than being a World Cup winner with 71 caps for the All Blacks - it's a signing that speaks for itself.
"It's massive statement of intent from the club in regard to its drive to be able to compete in the Aviva Premiership next season - and not just survive.
"It's also going to be a fantastic opportunity for the younger players within our squad to mix and learn from a player of Piri's experience and ability. As a player, his skill set is unbelievable; his kicking game and tactical appreciation are tremendous.
"After meeting with him in Singapore at the club 10s, his personality and aura is such that it will be second nature for him to fit in to the environment we've created at London Welsh."
Weepu will join up with his new club at the end of the current Super 15 campaign.
Welsh begin their Aviva Premiership season at home to Exeter on Sunday, September 7.
