OAKLAND — Judy Salamon was blocks from her East Oakland home when she pulled her Subaru Outback up to a scene that must have infuriated her: two men committing a street crime.
The 66-year-old beloved pet sitter, known equally for her love of animals and trying to clean up crime-ridden streets, made what would be a fatal decision.
She pulled out her cellphone and began filming. She was shot dead minutes later.
The July 24, 2013, daytime killing stunned residents of Maxwell Park, but some relief returned to the neighborhood of tidy, narrow streets on Thursday when police announced the arrests of the two suspects. They also revealed, for the first time, the circumstances of her death, including her decision to film the men who allegedly killed her.
"I'm just happy they've taken another sociopath with a gun off the streets," said 56-year-old Eric Sahlin, a 22-year friend to Salamon. "She wasn't going out looking for trouble. She was simply going home."
Mario Floyd, 21, of Oakland and Stephon Lee, 22, of Richmond have been arrested and charged Thursday with murder with a special circumstance of robbery, police said. Lee is serving time at San Quentin State Prison on unrelated charges, though it's unclear how long he's been in custody. Floyd has a prior conviction for carrying a loaded firearm, according to court records and authorities.
The pair, who are expected to be arraigned next week, are well-known to Oakland police and are also known to have affiliations with an East Oakland neighborhood gang, said Sgt. Mike Gantt, the lead investigator.
After filming the men, Gantt said Salamon followed them to the 2400 block of Fern Street, three blocks away from her home. Floyd allegedly threw a trash can at Salamon's car, then Lee shot her, police said. Her cellphone was also taken. Wounded once, Salamon's car rolled down Fern and hit another car. She died at the scene.
Police would not say what type of crime Salamon witnessed or whether they recovered her cellphone in the investigation. Gantt, a veteran homicide investigator, called the case one of the toughest in his career because witnesses weren't coming forward in the brazen, daytime crime. He credited Officer Timothy De La Vega with tracking down a key witness, which prompted more people to come forward.
Salamon was born after World War II to Holocaust survivors and spent her early years in Canada before moving to Maxwell Park 20 years ago, according to her friend Agnes Meinhard. An accomplished pianist and dancer, she was well-educated and fluent in five languages.
But her true passion was caring for animals, friends said.
In the months before her death, she became active in neighborhood watch groups in Maxwell Park. Residents there describe the East Oakland neighborhood as a sanctuary from violence that often erupts just blocks away.
"She was a good pillar of the community," said Sahlin, who lives in Alameda. "She really cared about other people."
Officials described Salamon as "brave," but police warned residents not to cross the line from vigilant to vigilante.
"She lost her life, but at the same time, I consider it an act of bravery on her part," said East Oakland Councilman Noel Gallo, the chair of the Public Safety Committee who attended Salamon's vigil last year. "Most of us in Oakland need to stand up and not allow that behavior."
Joel Denney, a longtime friend and neighbor, praised the work of Oakland police investigators but said the reality that Salamon is gone has not sunk in, and perhaps never will.
"It still feels to me that she's on extended vacation in Toronto, where she is originally from," Denney said Thursday. "There's this feeling of unreality and denial about it that's so hard to shake. It's still unreal."

SHOREHAM — Two adults sustained injuries — one requiring airlift transport to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. — but an infant was miraculously unhurt in a severe three-car crash on Route 74 in Shoreham on Thursday.
Vermont State Police responded to the crash at around 8:30 a.m. on Route 74 in eastern Shoreham, near Tottingham Road.
Their investigation revealed that a Toyota Corolla driven by Mark Thomas, 43, of Bristol was traveling westbound on Route 74 when it drifted across the centerline and struck and eastbound, boulder-laden dumptruck being driven by John Seeley, 44, of Middlebury.
Police said Seeley lost control of his truck, which careened into the westbound lane and rolled onto the front end of a Dodge Caravan minivan being driven by Michele Almeida, 37, of Orwell.
Police said Almeida sustained "moderate" injuries and was airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock by a medevac helicopter that was on standby on the Shoreham town green while rescue officials tended to the injured.
Thomas sustained moderate injuries and was transported to Porter Hospital in Middlebury and later to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, according to police. Seeley was uninjured, as was a two-month-old infant riding in Thomas's car, police said.
Rescue officials used the Jaws of Life to extricate some of the victims including a child.
State police cited Thomas for driving with a suspended license and for failure to drive to the right.
Volunteer Fire Departments from Shoreham, Orwell and Bridport responded to the scene as well as ambulances from Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association and Vergennes Area Rescue Squad.

Heidi Klum Celebrates Fourth of July by Getting Smokin' Hot for Twitter
While most of us spent the Fourth of July showing off our backstroke in the pool and grillin' burgers and dogs, supermodel and 'Project Runway' host Heidi Klum was laying out on the beach knockin' back some brews. It was then she gave the world our favorite July 4th gift we've ever received: a tweeted photo of her new bikini body.
According to Heidi's tweet, she thought the day was gorgeous. While we're not going to argue about America's b-day being beautiful, we think her view might've topped it. Check it out below.
Our only critique is her bikini's not red, white and blue, nor does it have stars or stripes. It appears to be some sort of cavewoman-style animal print. Not very nationalistic, Heidi!
Also, it looks like she's downing Heineken — which makes sense since it's her homeland's beer — but on this special day, you have to rock the patriotic-themed Bud or Miller High Life cans. Duh! (On a side note, how does Heineken not sign Heidi as a spokesperson? Heidi-ken beer? That's a no-brainer.)
Just in case there were some more hot pics of Heidi lying around in the Twittersphere, we raided her account to find some other provocative pics and came away with a few gems.

The Green Weenie Award is troublesome this week, because some kinds of environmental wackiness descend into a realm so sordid that it deserves something a lot worse than a Green Weenie. Like a jail sentence, for example.
The news media has always covered eco-terrorism as weakly as possible. The usual asymmetry can be observed. While every time an abortion clinic is bombed or vandalized, or an abortion doctor murdered, the media always convict mainline pro-life groups of guilt-by-association, but when the Earth Liberation Front or other eco-terrorist group burns a building or trashes a scientific research lab, mainstream environmental groups are seldom or never confronted for a high profile denunciation.
Yesterday the Los Angeles Times reported the arrest of a long-time eco-terrorist fugitive, Rebecca Rubin, who was associated with several arsons conducted in the 1990s by the Earth Liberation Front. But I'm still waiting for the news feature that delves into the question of what inspired these folks to become eco-terrorists. What books did they read? Which individual thinkers influenced them? I suspect the possible answers are too uncomfortable, just as it turned out in the 1960s that people who joined the Weather Underground were inspired to do so by what they were learning in elite college classrooms. There has always been a lot of awkwardness about the fact that the thought of the Unabomber's famous manifesto had an uncanny resemblance to Al Gore's Earth in the Balance. (For more on this subject, see my long paper about Gore's essential Heideggerianism.)
Then there's the story out of Belgium a few days before the election a month ago about the murder of an ExxonMobil executive that bears the marks of a professional hit. There hasn't been much follow up to this story, and I guess the police are being mum about it. Could it have been eco-terrorism? The Telegraph story does muse: "Like most oil majors, its operations attract the wrath of environmental activists." Stay tuned to this one.
The reason to demand some heightened scrutiny of the connection between eco-terrorism and the environmental mainstream is that the so-called "mainstream" is amazingly casual about encouraging civil disobedience. My latest example of reckless and irresponsible advocacy in this manner comes not from the Sierra Club or other corrupt group, but from investor Jeremy Grantham, whose economic concerns I was just highlighting here a few days ago. While Grantham is a shrewd investor, it turns out he's a climate nutter. Last week in Nature magazine, Grantham advocates that climate campaigners prepare to "be arrested if necessary" in service of the cause. After opening with the caveat that "I am a specialist in investment bubbles, not climate science," Grantham goes off the rails:
Younger scientists are obsessed by thoughts of tenure, so it is probably up to older, senior and retired scientists to do the heavy lifting. Be arrested if necessary. This is not only the crisis of your lives — it is also the crisis of our species' existence. I implore you to be brave.
He's got this exactly backwards, of course. Younger, untenured scientists are terrified of defying the climate campaign, so climate skepticism is limited mostly to senior scientists near or at retirement, like Princeton's Freeman Dyson, or MIT's Richard Lindzen. But no matter; next time "eco-disobediance" elides into vandalism or violence, people should ask this week's Green Weenie winner, Jeremy Grantham, if he's proud people are following his advice.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Mormon scriptures long predicted that "every man shall hear the fullness of the gospel in his own tongue."
Of course, the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sends missionaries worldwide to preach in native languages, and it translates General Conference speeches into scores of tongues.
But weekly in Utah, 199 LDS congregations also hold services in languages other than English mostly for recent immigrants.
That is nearly three times more than the 74 foreign-language LDS wards and branches that existed in the state a decade ago, reflecting how Utah is growing more diverse and how the Mormon church tries to help immigrants feel comfortable as they worship.
"Most Latter-day Saint church services in the United States and in Utah are conducted in English," LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter said. "However, some non-English speakers participate more fully and better understand church teachings when they worship and socialize in congregations taught in their native language."
The church offers congregations in Utah that speak 14 languages besides English.
Two of those were not offered here 10 years ago: Swahili (an African language) and Karen (a language of Burma or Myanmar). Each had one branch, or small congregation, organized in 2009 in Salt Lake City.
Other foreign-language congregations in Utah include: Tongan (29 wards and branches); Samoan (14); American Sign Language (seven); Portuguese (three); Mandarin, Korean and Japanese (two congregations each); and Cambodian, German, Laotian and Russian (one congregation each).
Spanish has by far the most non-English congregations in Utah: 134, up from 37 a decade ago. Two-thirds of all foreign-language units in Utah speak Spanish.
That's hardly surprising. The 2010 Census showed 13 percent of Utahns are Latinos, making them the state's largest minority group. Utah's Hispanic population surged by 78 percent between 2000 and 2010 swelling by nearly 157,000 people to 358,000 total.
"When I moved here 15 years ago, it seemed like there were only five or six Spanish branches in the Salt Lake Valley," recalls Vicente Gonzalez, president of the Spanish-speaking Canela Tree LDS Branch in West Valley City. Now Utah's second-most-populous city has 15, the most of any in the state.
Gonzalez said his congregation of about 120 people has Mormons from Mexico, El Salvador, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Nicaragua, Peru and Argentina.
His branch is more than a congregation, "it is a family," he said. "All are immigrants. We all left family behind in our countries, but we have a family in the branch that strengthens us spiritually and emotionally."
Gonzalez said worshipping in their native language "is a blessing because we can learn more about God in a way that is easier to understand and is more rich for us. It's a blessing to go to church and not worry about understanding what is said."
His branch does offer English classes it's "the language of the prophets," he said but many in the older generations find it difficult. "Our inspiration is President [Dieter F.] Uchtdorf, a counselor in the [church's governing] First Presidency. He is German, but he learned to speak the language of the prophets even though it was hard for him."
The same Granger South Stake, or cluster of LDS congregations, that includes Gonzalez's branch also boasts the Samoan-speaking Volta Ward. It is big. Bishop Mataitai Fauatea says his ward has 350 members and fills not only its chapel every week but often overflows deep into the adjacent cultural hall as well.
Census figures shows that one of every 16 Samoans in America lives in Utah as does one of every four Tongan Americans. Among U.S. cities with populations greater than 100,000, West Valley City ranks No. 2 only to Honolulu for its number of Pacific Islanders.
Fauatea says his ward helps his members "feel like we are home. It makes us feel united. It helps us preserve our culture and our language" and "makes it easier for the older people to understand church meetings."
He said most youths speak English, and his ward's Primary the organization for children holds all its classes in English. He said at least one talk each week in its main worship service is also in English to help the youths. "But we also have at least one in Samoan for the older people," who have more difficulty in learning a new language.
While Utah Mormons are known for arriving late and sitting in the back at meetings, Samoan Latter-day Saints are the opposite. They often show up hours early and prefer seats in the front. Fauatea says that comes from a tradition in Samoa, where chiefs have people cook early on Sundays and then spend the day in church. "We still like to do that here."
When congregations meeting before the Samoan ward end their services in the shared chapel, they often find Samoan members rushing in an hour before their own service begins.
"We like to get seats up front in the chapel," Fauatea said. "There is less noise there. We don't like to sit in back."
Trotter said Utah's language diversity was also showcased during a multi-stake LDS conference held in early September in Salt Lake City.
"The conference," he said, "was translated into American Sign Language, Cambodian, Cantonese, French, German, Japanese, Laotian, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Swahili, Thai and Tongan."
Fifteen languages, one faith.
From LDS scripture
"For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language."

RGB is correct (with his comments below). I forgot to add that all of our main server rooms have conditioned power (we've checked on that one), UPSes for the room, and diesel backup for some of them. I guess that's why we haven't had any trouble :) Seriously, we did have one cluster in a room without conditioned power, UPS, or diesel backup for about 24 months without any trouble. The only trouble we had was that some numnuts decided it would be good to use raised floor area for a conference room and the people in the conference room decided it was too cold and turned off the AC! I can't tell you how many times I heard the temperature alarm and had to run down there and turn the AC back on! The last time I did it, I burst into the conference room and yelled at a number of people for endangering our $350,000 cluster and their lives.

You've all heard of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Yeti, and the Jersey Devil. Now it's official; Northwest Philly has its very own large, hairy, unidentified bipedal humanoid roaming the woods — the "Wissahickon Freak!"
That name was given to the creature by Penn professor of Anthropology, Dr. Dirk VanDervoorn, who was the keynote speaker at a recent university forum convened to discuss the mysterious mammal.
A number of eyewitnesses were called in to testify, including Jane Goodall, who camped out in the Wissahickon Valley for eight months observing the exotic beast and taking notes. Here are excerpts from her report:
"Culturally, I believe him to be a very old 'hippie' from the 'Age of Aquarius' (1960-1970). Most likely, he hid in the park with others of his kind in the late 1960s to avoid being drafted into the Army. At some point, he probably got separated from his tribe and was unaware that the '60s had ended. Over the years, he turned feral and learned to live as a wild animal. As far as he knows, the Draft Board is probably still out looking for him.
"He has many camouflaged 'nests' scattered throughout the park, often filled with items that he has scavenged in his travels. An examination of one such underground enclave recently uncovered 900 beer cans, 57 sets of keys, a whoopee cushion, a faded copy of 'The Evening Bulletin' and a yo-yo.
"He appears to be a vegetarian gatherer-forager. He eats mostly indigenous plants, occasionally wandering to the borders of the park to eat flowers from residents' gardens. This has caused consternation among some of the larger estate owners, a few of whom have collectively offered a $2 million reward for his capture."
On several occasions, the Freak has even been seen leaping into the creek at Valley Green and wrestling bread right out of the beaks of ducks who were being fed by park visitors. "He's frightening the children," said a waitress at the Valley Green Inn. "This is definitely not good for business."
According to Assistant District Attorney Prudence Evermore, the Freak has committed a number of misdemeanors, including staying in the park after curfew, disturbing the peace (he sings hits from the '60s all night long), and riding a deer without a permit.
"He has also been interfering with the flow of traffic along Bells Mill road," said the D.A. "It is estimated he's been struck by over 75 cars in the last 40 years. He apparently doesn't see well and has also been observed walking off of cliffs on several occasions. This accounts for his uneven gait and hunched posture.
"All attempts to capture or negotiate with the creature have thus far been fruitless. Last spring, he stole a cell phone that someone left unattended on a bench. He probably didn't know what it was. Anyway, for a few days before the battery ran out, we were able to call him, but even after he figured out how to answer, he just barked at the phone.
"The Pennsylvania Game Commission set large steel-jawed leg hold traps near his frequented locations, but all they've caught so far is a gnarled boot, size 16 EEE, and a strand of love beads, both of which the Freak apparently wriggled out of to escape, as well as most of the remaining deer the Fairmount Park Commission and Friends of the Wissahickon somehow haven't managed to kill.
"We just want him out of the park," said Evermore. "In spite of all the trouble he's caused, we would be willing to grant him immunity if he turned himself in. We'd even give him a $95,000-a-year job as an aide to City Council. All he'd have to do is agree to wear a suit and bathe once a year.
"I would caution citizens who might be contemplating capturing the Freak for the $2 million reward — this man is wild. He may bite, and he definitely has fleas. If you see him, please call the city hotline that we have set up, 1-800-FREAK-OUT. Together, we can rid the park of this uncivilized menace. Let's just hope there aren't any more freaks out there in Chestnut Hill!"

The Personal Digital Archiving website has a multitude of tips for archiving your own personal collection, including downloadable guides on how to scan your collection and tips for the best digital media for storing your collection.
I especially liked the idea of having a Personal Digital Archiving Day, an event held to help others archive and share archiving tips. What a great idea for a local library, historical society or even a family to help gather collections.
The site also gives specific arching tips for popular materials: digital photographs, audio, video, e-mail and websites.
Perhaps some of these tips will motivate us all to archive our collection.

"Nothing will ever be accomplished if all possible objections must first be overcome." - Nathan Cummings' credo
Nathan Cummings was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, in 1896. He moved from impoverished beginnings to great success by hard work, entrepreneurial genius, and a willingness to take risks.
In 1939, he purchased the C.D. Kenny Company of Baltimore, a small wholesale distributor of canned foods, coffee, tea, and spices. That was the beginning of the international company known today as the Sara Lee Corporation. For three decades he personally guided the growth of the company. He retired from active management in 1968 to pursue philanthropic interests. In his later years, he was a perceptive art collector and a generous philanthropist, with a strong interest in medicine and science. He inherited a spirit of sharing and community from his immigrant parents, and transmitted that spirit to his children and grandchildren, who contribute their time and energy to the Foundation. He died in 1985, leaving the majority of his estate to this Foundation.

Investors are taking another look at shares of American States Water Company (AWR). The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of multiple popular technical indicators created by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder introduced RSI in his book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems" which was published in 1978. RSI measures the magnitude and velocity of directional price movements. The data is represented graphically by fluctuating between a value of 0 and 100. The indicator is computed by using the average losses and gains of a stock over a certain time period. RSI can be used to help spot overbought or oversold conditions. An RSI reading over 70 would be considered overbought, and a reading under 30 would indicate oversold conditions. A level of 50 would indicate neutral market momentum. Viewing the Relative Strength Index, the 14-day RSI is presently standing at 43.32, the 7-day is 36.32, and the 3-day is resting at 28.64.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for American States Water Company (AWR) is sitting at 16.64. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
Investors have the ability to use technical indicators when completing stock research. At the time of writing, American States Water Company (AWR) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -106.30. Developed by Donald Lambert, the CCI is a versatile tool that may be used to help spot an emerging trend or provide warning of extreme conditions. In terms of Moving Averages, the 7-day is resting at 69.73. Moving averages have the ability to be used as a powerful indicator for technical stock analysis. Interested traders may be keeping an eye on the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. Williams %R is a popular technical indicator created by Larry Williams to help identify overbought and oversold situations. American States Water Company (AWR)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -80.94. In general, if the indicator goes above -20, the stock may be considered overbought. Alternately, if the indicator goes below -80, this may point to the stock being oversold.
Investors may be trying to decide if the current market environment remains bullish. It can be extremely difficult to decide when to sell, especially when data seems positive and most signs are pointing higher. Jumping in to buy stocks on a pullback may seem like a good idea, but following specific sectors may become increasingly more important. Following long-term trends may help the investor see the bigger picture of what has been going on with a specific stock or sector. Deciding to sell a winner after a big run can be tempting, but knowing the underlying causes for the run may help identify if there may indeed be more room for gains. Avoiding common investing pitfalls may take many years to master, but it may end up determining long-term success.

[THIS WEEK] Archizines may inspire you to dig out your own comics and zines, writes James Pallister
Even if you can't make it to the exhibition, it's worth ordering a copy of the book that accompanies Archizines, a collection of contemporary small press architecture magazines now at the AA. The catalogue gives a taster of the 60 titles on show, with a page for each featuring its cover, a short description and its vital statistics; print run, frequency and so on.
'Little magazines', as Beatriz Colomina might call them, are flexible formats; in Archizines there's the four-page title Foreign Architects Switzerland as well as the rather larger 176-page Volume. As Rob Wilson, editor of Block magazine says, the magazine can be cast as both 'a Luddite taste for slow food and a hit-the-spot take-out, distinct from the internet's rolling buffet.'
From this logic, books have an obligation to analyse, explain, take the long view. This little volume fulfils that brief well. The strong, often witty set of essays includes pieces by Wilson, as well as Matthew Clarke, Pedro Gadanho, Adam Murray and Mimi Zeiger. Together, these make a clever companion to the issues faced by architectural publishers today, both in mainstream and more obscure incarnations.
Part of the Archizines collection will be handed over for archiving in the National Art Library at the V&A. It's pleasing to know that libraries are still archiving and collecting significant pieces of off-mainstream publishing.
If you've any valuable bits of social and design history cluttering up your loft, or you want to free space under the stairs, then I'm sure Andy Simons, curator of Modern British Collections at the British Library, will be happy to hear from you. And if you've a stack of cartons and boxes like I have, then possibly your loved ones may appreciate it too.

By Paul Hughes
Special to The Observer
HARTFORD – Carmen Espinosa is poised to achieve another first as a Hispanic jurist in Connecticut – appointment to the state Supreme Court.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Monday announced that he is nominating the 63-year-old judge from Southington to replace retiring Justice C. Ian McLachlan on the high court.
Malloy called Espinosa a trailblazer with a diverse background.
She became the first Hispanic to be confirmed as a Superior Court judge 20 years ago and then became the first to sit on the state Appellate Court in 2011.
As a Superior Court judge, she presided over trials in the Judicial Districts of New Britain, Hartford and Waterbury
"Being a Supreme Court justice will undoubtedly be the pinnacle of my career. However, I will never forget where I came from and those who helped me along the way," Espinosa said.
Malloy said the Espinosa nomination continues his commitment to diversifying the state's judiciary. It comes 10 days after he announced the nomination of the first openly homosexual justice.
"I believe when people from Connecticut appear before a court they have a reasonable right and expectation that the court should reflect Connecticut. Simply put, we should have the best minds, the best backgrounds, the best of what Connecticut is, and Connecticut is a diverse place," Malloy said.
Espinosa said she is mindful of the significance of her nomination for the state's Latino community.
"I fully understand the responsibility that will fall upon my shoulders if confirmed as the first Hispanic to sit as a Supreme Court justice in our great state," she said.
Her parents brought her to the mainland United States from Puerto Rico when she was 3 years old. She said she hopes to serve as a role model.
"I hope that my nomination to the Supreme Court serves as an example to young Hispanic children that anything is possible if they stay in school and use education as the bridge to success," Espinosa said. "After all, no one can ever take away what you know."
Espinosa's nomination to the Appellate Court sailed through the legislature in 2011. The House and Senate unanimously approved her appointment.
Espinosa received an undergraduate degree from Central Connecticut State University. She earned a master's degree from Brown University and her law degree later from George Washington University Law School
She first worked teaching Spanish and French in Southington schools. She later became an FBI agent and then worked as a federal prosecutor for 11 years in Hartford before her appointment to the bench in 1992.

The scope of the conference will be fairly wide, but it will emphasize specific problems in dynamical systems, smooth ergodic theory, and related topics, including differential geometry, group theory and number theory, to name a few, that have seen much progress, but where significant problems vital to the field remain open. Specific examples are the Katok entropy rigidity conjecture for geodesic flows of negatively curved manifolds, the Boltzmann ergodic hypothesis, Liouvillean phenomena, the construction of metrics with ergodic geodesic flow, smooth rigidity of actions of abelian groups of higher rank. This workshop will include a session to discuss open problems and to produce a list of these, with the intent of producing a concrete agenda for further research on several fronts. The following are some of the subjects related to dynamical systems that have seen outstanding advances recently, and that will be significant components of this workshop.
- Billiards, and the question of their hyperbolicity and ergodicity.
- The theory of partially hyperbolic systems and nonuniformly hyperbolic systems.
- The close relations between dynamical systems and differential (especially Riemannian) geometry.
- The significant interactions that have developed between dynamical systems and number theory.
- The extension of methods from the study of invariant measures for homogeneous and affine actions of higher rank abelian groups, initiated by Furstenberg's x2,x3-question, to other areas.
- The study of actions of lattices in semisimple Lie groups.
- The impact on statistical physics of Ruelle's work showing that a generalized Sinai--Ruelle--Bowen-state depends differentiably on the hyperbolic diffeomorphism for which it is defined.
The workshop will be held on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Anatole Katok. We will take this occasion to honor Katok during the conference for his significant influence on almost all areas in dynamical systems through his research, collaboration, teaching, organization and exposition. This workshop is sponsored by the Clay Mathematical Institute and hosted by MSRI. It also benefits from generous contributions from Tufts University and the Pennsylvania State University.Show less
