EDIT: forgot to say, this is in response to another thread which had wandered way off its original question. Arguably this could be in at least 3 other forums
end EDIT
EDIT contains some gross errors, will correct them some timeEDIT
OK, just wrote a long thread on this only to hit ctrl w in mozilla - try it and see what happens.
So I will assume, cos I'm lazy, that the reader knows what I mean when I say F_p is the field with p - elements - it is the set 0,1,2,...,p-1 with addition and multiplication defined remainder p, of course p must be a prime - if it is composite then there are non-zero elements x and y with x*y=0, which can't happen in a field.
We can define polynomials F_p[x] one variable with coefficients in F_p. Not every poly will have roots in F_p. THE canonical example is x^2+x+1 in F_2. put x=0 or 1 in there and the outcome is always 1. Notice that means that as FUNCTIONS from F_2 to F_2 this polynomial and the constant polynomial H(x)=1 are indistinguishable. They are different polynomials though. This doesn't happen over the complex numbers: suppose f(x)=g(x) for all x in C, then f-g is always zero. Depending on how much you like to use sledgehammers to crack peanuts, it is then obvious, as it is an analytic function, that it is the zero function, and that f=g.
Anyway, just as we can define C to be R(i), that is the set of all things a+ib with a and b real, and multiplication defined according to the rule i.i=-1 and so on, we can define F_2(j), where j satisfies j^2+j+1=0.
Then F_2(j) is all things a+bj, for a and b in F_2, with j^2=j+1.
Check that this new thing is a field and has 4 elements.
Claim, if F is a field with finitely many elements, it has p^r elements for some p a prime, moreoever there is some polynomial with coefficients in F that has no root in F. Proof can be found in most basic algebra books, particularly anything to do with galois theory. If there is a call for it, I will provide more details here, but they aren't important.
This says that no finite field is algebraically closed, that is possesses all the roots to all polynomials.
We will assume that all finite fields can be constructed by adjoining elements to some F_p like we do in the case of R(i) to get C. The difference there is that once we adjoin i, all polynomials have all their roots in C. We had F_2(j), but we could equally add things to F_p. We can add on more roots of more polys, if we let F_q be the field with q elements, then there is a sequence
F_p--->F_(p^2)--->F)(p^3)--> ...
there is something we can think of as the limit of this sequence, this is an algebraic closure. To construct all those F_q, we take F_p, find a polynomial of smallest degree with no root, add in this artificially, take some other poly with smallest degree that has no root in the new field, and add it on, keep on doing this using a poly of smallest degree at each point
F_2, all degree 1 polys have roots, X^2+X has roots, so does X^2, as does X^2+1, but X^2+X+1 does not, add in the j as above. Now every degree two or fewer poly has its roots. What about cubics? Can you find a cubic with no root in 0,1,j,j+1? Add in any cubic poly roots, check all the 4th degree polys etc... or just take it as read that you can always find some other poly without roots, so there is one of smallest degree.
So we can construct this 'limit' and any polynomial, because it has finite degree must have its roots in one of the F_q, and by technical results we're omitting, has a root in the limit.
Note, this limit IS NOT UNIQUE. There were lots of choices made, if we'd made them in a different order - for instance if there were two polys of a given degree with no roots, we'd have to pick one first then the other to add the roots in, and the results might not be equal (but would be equivalent). It so happens that the choices we made mean that although there are two different limits, they are isomorphic as fields, but that this isomorphism is not unique, so we really must speak of AN algebraic closure. But, any algebriac closure of F_p contains all the F_(p^r) just embedded differently.
Ok, that's confusing isn't it? But we know the case R(i)=C. The thing is that i and -i are indistinguishable. The standard thought experiment for this is that, if aliens came to earth and they'd developed a similar number system to ours, but instead of picking i to be sqrt(-1), they'd picked j and their j was our -i, we couldn't tell the difference. Why not? Because the only thing we have to define i is that it's the root of x^2+1, well, send x to -x in that and the equation is unchanged!
Want another way to think about this? Well, there is a map from C to C sending i to -i, or if you like, taking the conjugate. This is an automorphism of C that fixes the reals. From here it is a short step to Galois Theory, where Ian Stewarts book gives a much better intro than this.

A little piece of me, melts into tears.
Maybe it's the thought of absence,
or the forever it seems to take, i fear.
Until i hold you again,
my heart is where you will stay.
I will dream my little dreams,
remembering the happiness in our hearts,
when they had their times to play.

Two-Headed Giant
Two-Headed Giant (abbreviated as 2HG) constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size; however, you must be able to shuffle your deck with no assistance. [1]
Two-Headed Giant uses the Unified Deck Construction rules. With the exception of basic land cards, a team's combined decks may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title. (For example, if one player is using four Naturalizes in a Multiplayer Constructed event, no other player on that team may have a Naturalize in his or her deck.) Sideboards are not allowed in Constructed Multiplayer tournaments.
If a card is restricted in a particular format, no more than one of that card may be used by the team. No players may use cards that are banned in a particular format.
In addition to the above rules, the following card is banned in Constructed Two-Headed Giant tournaments:
|Comprehensive Rules
|Game Concepts
|Parts of a Card
|Card Types
|Turn Structure
|Spells, Abilities, and Effects
|Additional Rules
|Multiplayer Rules
|800. General
|801. Limited Range of Influence Option
|802. Attack Multiple Players Option
|803. Attack Left and Attack Right Options
|804. Deploy Creatures Option
|805. Shared Team Turns Option
|806. Free-for-All Variant
|807. Grand Melee Variant
|808. Team vs. Team Variant
|809. Emperor Variant
|810. Two-Headed Giant Variant
|811. Alternating Teams Variant
|Casual Variants
From the Comprehensive Rules (Avacyn Restored)
- 810. Two-Headed Giant Variant
- 810.1. Two-Headed Giant games are played with two teams of two players each.
- 810.2. The Two-Headed Giant variant uses the shared team turns option. (See rule 805.)
- 810.3. Each team sits together on one side of the table. Each team decides the order in which its players sit.
- 810.4. Each team has a shared life total, which starts at 30 life.
- 810.5. With the exception of life total and poison counters, a team's resources (cards in hand, mana, and so on) are not shared in the Two-Headed Giant variant. Teammates may review each other's hands and discuss strategies at any time. Teammates can't manipulate each other's cards or permanents.
- 810.6. The team who plays first skips the draw step of its first turn.
- 810.7. The Two-Headed Giant variant uses different combat rules than other multiplayer variants.
- 810.7a Each team's creatures attack the other team as a group. During the combat phase, the active team is the attacking team and each player on the active team is an attacking player. Likewise, the nonactive team is the defending team and each player on the nonactive team is a defending player.
- 810.7b Any one-shot effect that refers to the "defending player" refers to one specific defending player, not to both of the defending players. The controller of the effect chooses which one the spell or ability refers to at the time the effect is applied. The same is true for any one-shot effect that refers to the "attacking player."
Any characteristic-defining ability that refers to the "defending player" refers to one specific defending player, not to both of the defending players. The controller of the object with the characteristic-defining ability chooses which one the ability refers to at the time the nonactive players become defending players.
All other cases in which the "defending player" is referred to actually refer to both defending players. If the reference involves a positive comparison (such as asking whether the defending player controls an Island) or a relative comparison (such as asking whether you control more creatures than the defending player), it gets only one answer. This answer is "yes" if either defending player in the comparison would return a "yes" answer if compared individually. If the reference involves a negative comparison (such as asking whether the defending player controls no black permanents), it also gets only one answer. This answer is "yes" if performing the analogous positive comparison would return a "no" answer. The same is true for all other cases that refer to the "attacking player."
- 810.7c As the declare attackers step begins, the active team declares attackers. If an effect of an object controlled by a defending player prohibits a creature from attacking him or her, that creature can't attack the defending team. The active team has one combined attack, and that set of attacking creatures must be legal as a whole. See rule 508.1.
- 810.7d As the declare blockers step begins, the defending team declares blockers. Creatures controlled by the defending players can block any attacking creatures. The defending team has one combined block, and that set of blocking creatures must be legal as a whole. See rule 509.1.
- 810.7e Once blockers have been declared, for each attacking creature that's become blocked by multiple creatures, the active team announces the damage assignment order among the blocking creatures. Then, for each creature that's blocking multiple creatures, the defending team announces the damage assignment order among the attacking creatures.
- 810.7f As the combat damage step begins, the active team announces how each attacking creature will assign its combat damage. If an attacking creature would assign combat damage to the defending team, the active team chooses only one of the defending players for that creature to assign its combat damage to. Then the defending team announces how each blocking creature will assign its combat damage. See rule 510.1.
- 810.8. The Two-Headed Giant variant uses the normal rules for winning or losing the game (see rule 104), with the following additions and specifications.
- 810.8a Players win and lose the game only as a team, not as individuals. If either player on a team loses the game, the team loses the game. If either player on a team wins the game, the entire team wins the game. If an effect would prevent a player from winning the game, that player's team can't win the game. If an effect would prevent a player from losing the game, that player's team can't lose the game.
- 810.8b If a player concedes, his or her team leaves the game immediately. That team loses the game.
- 810.8c If a team's life total is 0 or less, the team loses the game. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)
- 810.8d If a team has fifteen or more poison counters, that team loses the game. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)
- 810.9. Damage, loss of life, and gaining life happen to each player individually. The result is applied to the team's shared life total.
- 810.9a If a cost or effect needs to know the value of an individual player's life total, that cost or effect uses the team's life total instead.
- 810.9b If a cost or effect allows both members of a team to pay life simultaneously, the total amount of life they pay may not exceed their team's life total. (Players can always pay 0 life.)
- 810.9c If an effect sets a single player's life total to a specific number, the player gains or loses the necessary amount of life to end up with the new total. The team's life total is adjusted by the amount of life that player gained or lost.
- 810.9d If an effect would set the life total of each player on a team to a number, that team chooses one of its members. On that team, only that player is affected.
- 810.9e A player can't exchange life totals with his or her teammate. If an effect would cause that to occur, the exchange won't happen.
- 810.9f If an effect instructs a player to redistribute any number of players' life totals, that player may not affect more than one member of each team this way.
- 810.9g If an effect says that a player can't gain life, no player on that player's team can gain life.
- 810.9h If an effect says that a player can't lose life, no player on that player's team can lose life or pay any amount of life other than 0.
- 810.10. Effects that cause players to get poison counters happen to each player individually. The poison counters are shared by the team.
- 810.10a If an effect needs to know how many poison counters an individual player has, that effect uses the number of poison counters that player's team has.
- 810.10b If an effect says that a player loses poison counters, that player's team loses that many poison counters.
- 810.10c If an effect says that a player can't get poison counters, no player on that player's team can get poison counters.
- 810.10d A player is "poisoned" if his or her team has one or more poison counters.
- 810.11. The Two-Headed Giant variant can also be played with equally sized teams of more than two players. For each player a team has beyond the second, that team's starting life total is increased by 15 and the number of poison counters required for the team to lose is increased by five. (These variants are called Three-Headed Giant, Four-Headed Giant, and so on.)

Got an invite from Status Magazine about this event at Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street & I was pretty excited to go 'cause my blogger friends were going (haven't seen them in months) and people-watching is always fun lol. Props to Adidas and Status Magazine for bringing Facehunter in Manila! Fun event!
Facehunter (http://facehunter.blogspot.com/), one of the most visited street style blogs in the entire world (blogging for five years) & now Yvan Rodic's recently published book, also called Facehunter, includes 326 culled from his site.
Fashionistas waiting in line.
Forum, Fully Booked.
Yvan Rodic answering questions.
Blogs like his have minimized "the monopoly on inspiration of the magazines," Rodic says. "I think blogs bring the idea that fashion is more participative. It shows that instead of having a few trends that are printed by the top publications, there are an infinite quantity of options and that there is no 'in' or 'out.'" (from Taipei Times)
With Yvan Rodic a.k.a. Facehunter! So nice to finally meet you! (Our wavy hair is all over the place haha)
My Facehunter book! My friends told me I look like the guy on the cover huhuhu.
My signed Facehunter book! Yvan Rodic gave me tips on being a good photographer, blogger and to present myself well. He also wrote down some of 'em! Thank you!

With Facehunter. Such an inspiration. He traveled nearly 30 countries and photographed many (emphasis on many) people which reflects the diversity of their culture. I wanna have my own book too and travel the world! Dream big!
Finally met Tin Iglesias that night! I've always wanted to meet her 'cause we only communicate through the internet lol so it was nice to finally meet her in person! She's so cute.
With my date that night! Thanks for coming with me to these events hehe. (Off topic: Went to have coffee at Starbucks with her & Gelo before the event, the barista told me I look like James Dean! Just wanna put it out there hahaha inspired to watch East of Eden/Rebel Without A Cause again haha). Great night!

Tea sets
The idea of a matching antique silver teaset is a comparitively modern one, and they were not really fashionable until the late eighteenth century. Before that time families still used the components of a teaset but were not bothered whether or not they matched.
When admiring any teaset, collectors should take particular interest in the teapot which will invariably have been used much more than the other parts of the service!

Spiritual Life
On the Home page of the Blessed Trinity Catholic High School website, one can read three simple words - explore, imagine and engage. While these words express realistic goals for every student they also express the goals of the Roman Catholic Church present in this school.
The Church teaches us that the Eucharist is the sign of unity and the bond of charity among us. It is our hope within the Office of Campus Ministry that every student will see the powerful love and acceptance of Jesus in their lives as well as in the lives of those around them. Since the celebration of the Eucharist calls all of us to action, we all pray that we can truly imitate the great Mystery that we hold and take into ourselves.
What better way for us as Catholics to begin our day than to come together as a community to celebrate the Eucharist! Mass is celebrated daily (Monday-Friday) at 7:10 a.m. in the BT Chapel. On the days that are scheduled for Confessions, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed as well as on every Wednesday during the school year. The Blessed Sacrament is also exposed on final exam days during first and second semesters. Every month, the school community comes together to celebrate an All-school Mass at 9:00 a.m. in the Gym. This gives the entire school community an opportunity to come together to be moved, transformed and strengthened by the celebration of the Sacred Mysteries as we live out our faith in the hallways of BT and in the paths of life.
Students, teachers, staff, administration and all who are associated with the school are invited to come and to pray in our Chapel. Masses are celebrated for sports teams and clubs. The Sacrament of Penance (known as "Confession" or "Reconciliation") is available for all members of the BT school community. On the days scheduled for the Sacrament of Penance, priests from our neighboring parishes come to our Chapel to celebrate this great gift of God's love and mercy for our school community.
The Office of Campus Ministry also offers Days of Reflection for our freshmen and sophomore students. These days are an opportunity for students to be formed by the Holy Spirit so that they all can grow in courage to answer the Universal Call to Holiness.
Therefore, the Office of Campus Ministry is called to be in dialogue with every fabric of this school community so that we can together:
Explore: the gift of our Catholic Faith and what it means to be a
follower of the Living God!
Imagine: how we can change this world through
the presence of Jesus in our souls!
Engage: the challenges of life knowing that with the power of the Holy Spirit,
"we can do all things through Christ" who gives us strength!

Holidays mate and know a few people in Bavaria as lived there for many years so catching up. Dont mind doing a long Road trip and going through the Alps on the Autobahn is pretty good. We often do the 7-8 hr trip down to Munich and Bad Reichenhall. Never driven in Slovenia and Croatia so shall be interesting. Least no Road Trains to overtake like last year in Australia, when we drove from Gold Coast to Cairns!

Leave Friday after work. Sam Kasiano ruled out for the season. Hurrell is named this week though as is Segeyaro but ist not 100% that either will Play though Segeyaro has said all is well though could be a risk if he Plays and he goes down again. . Fuifui MoiMoi has walked out on Parramatta after being dropped for potentially his last ever home game !! Full of Drama at the Moment with Injuries, suspensions and now Players Walking out!
Posted 20 August 2014 - 09:41 AM
Shame about MoiMoi you'd have thought given the situation he would have been woven into the last home game he'd play even if he wasn't in the team that day.
Some kind of presentation or so?
Instead he's demoted to a feeder club game.
Insensitive handling Eels.

Ouch ... Jesse Bromwich isn't playing.
His partner has just had a baby so he didn't travel to play in this weekend's game vs Panthers.
Congratulations Jesse and partner.
... Just let me know in advance in the future please ...

Straight away this week here's the Total Points ladder with just two more rounds to go:
Not a bad week considering the lateness in the season and the likelihood of trades being exhausted for plenty of people.
Ten of us again scored more than a thousand points.
Currently half our teams have averaged over 900 points per round in the season
while just three teams run by Andrew, Tim and Graham have topped the 1000 points average per round.
Excitement mounts in the H2H Play-offs.
That was Week 2, a muck or nettles round for all concerned.
The winners moved forward to the semi final. Now there's just four teams left in the League Finals and Minor Premiership comps.
All four teams in the League Finals scored over 1000 points. I lost out to Andrew's Sik's Savages with my Melbourne Rovers team.
The other game was a close run thing with Norm's Invicibles edging out Si's Muenchen Storm by just 28 points.
Well done Andrew who now moves on to meet Warrick's Danger Mo... team and Norm who will come up against
Tim's Barrow Bunnies.
Steph and Jack had comfortable win in the Minor Premiership games this week. They'll face stiff opposition this week when
they meet Gav's Holker Pioneers and Nate's Rookies.
So the Points Total Competition continues.
Enjoy the last couple of weeks.
Let's hope there's no more last minute drop outs or injury worries.
All the best

OK finally back after 3000km trip to Croatia via Austria and Slovenia from Northern Germany-what a great trip! Anyway back to the Comp. First of all thanks Graham for your hard work and updates. Very much appreciated from myself and no doubt the rest. Personally was looking very good then Jesse Bromwich pulled out and my Dreams went with that as narrowly lost. Still such is the drama of the comp that anything can happen. Well done to our 4 finalists and wish you all the best over the weekend.

Well the TotalRL SuperCoach Season 2014 is over.
Our Points Total Competition is complete after 26 rounds of a pretty unpredictable season.
I put this table here as it appears on the official Super Coach site.
I do question the averages though.
If a team has scored a total in excess of 26,000 over a 26 week season then in my book that means they have an average in excess of 1000.
So I have added the short green line in the ladder to indicate that I believe the teams above that line have averaged over 1000 points a week for the 2014 NRL Super Coach season.
This would mean that as well as Andrew, Tim and Graham, Warrick and David should, in my opinion, be included in that group.
If I'm wrong I'm sure one of you will correct me.
Our TotalRLSCLeague14 Points Champion is Andrew and his Sika's Savages with an admirable total of 28,896 points.
Runner up was Tim and his Barrow Bunnies. Third place goes to Graham and his Melbourne Rovers.
Thank you to all 20 people who took part in our competition.
We will be running a Super Coach competition from this TotalRL Forum next season so everyone is invited to meet up again here
for a rematch then.
Everyone will want to know how the coveted Head to Head tournament went.
The finals series both Top 8 and 9 to 16 had their fair share of hard luck stories between Round 23 and 26 the period during which the Finals Series ran.
All the same two worthy teams met in both finals.
In the biggie, our Top 8 Premiership Final it was fittingly a battle between the two of the season's top point scorers Andrew and Tim.
Here's how the result turned out in the battle of the titans:
So it was Tim who took the Premiership Title. His Barrow Bunnies beat Andrew's Sika's Savages by a slim but important margin of just 37 points.
Well done Tim, hard luck Andrew.
I won't recap the finals series as the diagram above says it all.
It also tells us that in the 9 to 16 Play-Offs it was Nate and his The Rookie team who in the final anaysis beat a fast finishing Gav and his Holker Pioneers RL by 149 points
in the H2H Minor Premiership Final
So in conclusion, thanks again to everyone who took part.
NRL 2014 will be a fresh Super Coach challenge to us.
It would be great to have you all with us again with a fresh start for that competition.
All the best,
Posted 08 September 2014 - 12:58 PM

Well done to our four Head2Head Finalists and to everyone who wouldn't let
NRL Season 2014 get the upper hand, however unpredictable it became!
Hope to see you all here again in 2015

Maybe they only average out the scores in the Head2Head rounds???
I wouldn't have thought so though ...
Posted 10 September 2014 - 09:25 AM
Just for fun I've set myself a SuperCoach team for the Finals
I've picked myself a 13 man team for Finals Week 1.
It's the first time I've had a go at this.
Go Melbourne Rovers!
Anyone fancy joining me in the next couple of days I've set up a league:
While I'm happy to toddle along on my own I think it would be a bit better if you decided to join me.
If you've already been in the 2014 Super Coach 2014 League on this forum it's easy to join via a tab on your regular season team page.
It'd be great to have you along.

Due to the visit of the President of the United States, Barak Obama and his delegation, Police (Carabineros) have established a series of traffic detours in the capitol's downtown for this Monday.
These begin at 7:00 am and will extend until 12:30 am on Tuesday.
Parking and vehicular traffic is prohibited on the streets surrounding the Presidential Building, Palacio de la Moneda.
Streets closed:
Agustinas: will be closed to vehicular traffic between Manuel Rodríguez and Bandera. Vehicles will be redirected up to Manuel Rodríguez, to the east and/or west.
Teatinos: will be closed to vehicular traffic between Balmaceda and Alameda. Vehicles must follow Balmaceda to the west.
Morandé: will be closed to vehicular traffic between Alameda and General Mackenna. Vehicles will be redirected to Alameda, to the west.
Moneda: will be closed to vehicular traffic from San Antonio Street. Vehicles will be redirected to San Antonio.
The streets San Martin, Amunátegui, Compañía, Catedral, Santo Domingo, Rosas, San Pablo and San Antonio will not be closed, and will act as detour options for the streets temporarily closed.
These thoroughfares will operate normally, but turns onto streets included in the security perimeter will be prohibited.
According to Carabineros, the street closings will only affect "motorized traffic" and not pedestrians, who can travel using the aforementioned streets. In this way, those who work on some of these streets will not have problems arriving at their destinations.
Likewise, Commerce will remain open within the security perimeter.

Investing in Sony With Dan Loeb
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Recently, billionaire Dan Loeb, the famous hedge fund manager, has boosted his stake in Sony (NYSE: SNE), from 64 million to around 70 million shares, via both direct ownership and cash-settle swaps, accounting for around 6.9% stake in the company. Since the beginning of the year, Sony stock has increased 93.30%, beating the S&P 500's return of only 13.30%. Let's take a closer look to determine whether or not investors should follow Dan Loeb into Sony.
Two steps to unlock potential shareholders' value
Sony operates in many business segments including Consumer Products & Services, Professional, Device & Solutions, Pictures, Music, Financial Services and Sony Mobile. Interestingly, the two biggest revenue contributors for Sony, Consumer Products & Services and Professional, Device & Solutions segment, were generating losses in 2012. The most consistent positive operating income businesses were Pictures, Music and Sony Mobile, contributing ¥34.1 billion ($341 million), ¥36.9 billion ($369 million) and ¥31.7 billion ($317 million), respectively, in operating profits.
Activist investor Dan Loeb is interested in Sony because he thought that the separation of the two businesses in Sony could unlock the potential shareholders' value, driving the company's share price much higher. He laid out two main important steps for value enhancement: first was to list Sony Entertainment; the second was to focus on industry-leading businesses for the future growth of Sony Electronics.
He mentioned that Sony should bring around 15% to 20% stake in Sony Entertainment public, so that the Sony Entertainment's high profitability with good asset in TV and motion picture production could be recognized by the general market. In addition, Sony Entertainment's management could have incentive to grow the business they manage.
Dan Loeb thought that Sony could issue the subscription right to current shareholders, not through a standard IPO or spinoff, to secure the best interest of Sony's current investors. He said that he was ready to "backstop" the IPO with around $1.5 billion to $2 billion.
If Sony Entertainment could deliver the same margin with its U.S. peers, its EBITDA could experience an upside of around 50%. Sony is trading at $21.70 per share, with the total market cap of more than $21.9 billion. The market values Sony quite cheaply, at only 4.62 times its trailing EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and only 80% of its book value.
The cheapest price-to-book ratio valuation
Compared to its Japanese peers including Sharp (NASDAQOTH: SHCAY.PK) and Panasonic (NASDAQOTH: PCRFY), Sony has the lowest price-to-book ratio among the three companies.
Sharp is trading at $4.20 per share, with the total market cap of $4.8 billion. The market values Sharp at as much as 3.1 times its book value. The company is one of the biggest global players in TVs, mobile handsets and LCD related business.
Looking forward, Sharp plans five main strategies for the company including business portfolio restructuring, profitability improvement in the LCD business and cost reduction. It also seeks to enter different industries via strategic partnerships.
Recently, it had a basic agreement with Makita Corporation, the electric power tools maker, to expand its business from homes to premises. For the full fiscal year 2014, Sharp expected to produce $2.16 billion in EBITDA in 2014. Consequently, Sharp's 2014 EBITDA multiple would stay at 7.12.
Panasonic also had a higher price-to-book value than Sony. At $8.20 per share, Panasonic is worth $18.90 billion. The market values Panasonic at 4.23 times its trailing EBITDA and 1.18 times its book value.
Panasonic is also one of the Japanese powerhouses, operating in several businesses including AVC Networks, Appliances, Eco Solutions, Industrial Devices and Automotive & Industrial Systems.
Looking forward, in 2016, Panasonic intended to generate more than ¥350 ($3.49) billion in operating profit with the operating margin of more than 5%. The total cumulative free cash flow in 2014-2016 period could reach more than ¥600 ($5.98) billion. In order to reach that goal, the company will execute the business restructure, eliminating unprofitable business in the next two years, spending around ¥250 ($2.49) billion.
My Foolish take
Sony, with the highly profitable entertainment business, could unlock potential shareholders' value by taking Dan Loeb's two-step advice. Dan Loeb has also recently called for "semi-dependent governance structure," with a separate board of directors for Sony Entertainment.
Personally, I think Sony is a good stock to hold in a long run, with its global leading position in both electronics and entertainment business, a low valuation and an activism catalyst for potential upside in its share price.

a webcam, i'd also like to stop wanting the most expensive item on the page when online shopping. :( I look at the page, automatically drawn to something i like, then check the price, compare to other items on the page and their price and the one i like is always most expensive :( which i can never afford.
I love your PJ's. :)
come together tonight, hopefully it's going to be good. I'm excited :D
but… i'm still undecided on what to wear and my room is too cold to try things on i'm wrapped up :')
Today has been a struggle due to my cold, not just a cold it's one of the worst. Was in uni 10am until 5pm. I had been up since 7am though. We only got one break in the entire time and you aren't allowed to drink in the room we was based. So that was hard, as your supposed to drink plenty of fluids :( On the plus side however, that's it now until Monday, but i will be constantly working until then, as she expects a lot to be done!
Also tomorrow evening, the complete Fashion course, from every group including Digital and Promotion. We are having a huge party/get together at a bar/club in town :) Should be fun, a free drink and buffet and a chance for us all to get to know each other and mingle. I'm looking forward to it. BUT what to wear!?
Sooo much work to be done for tomorrow, it really can not happen, like actually can not. I haven't been lazy i have been doing it, i mean you can't complain i am actually already on the middle page of a sketchbook, but the work you want isn't complete. I'm tired and i am full of a cold. Therefore i'm going to just leave it and see what tomorrow brings. Hate not having things complete.
My room feels so much more cosy and homely, with the new addition of a cute little lamp :) oh and a lovely hot chocolate to end my Sunday. :)
Within just a short few hours i am full of a cold. I wanted to dedicate the whole of tomorrow for my uni project, but feeling like this i don't want to be doing anything :| owh. Haven't had a cold for such a long time and this is a bad one! :(
I love words that have deep meanings.
When i went into town today there was something i needed to do, but i didn't do it and did the total opposite. I did something very out of the blue and a little un-like me, however it is SUCH a good thing. I shan't spill yet as i don't know what's happening, but eee very excite. I shall tell soon enough though. ^_^
Off for a walk in the sunshine :) cheerio.

Bio and Links
For a Christmas present, I decided to give my daughters and niece a photo album of relatives for a keepsake. When I visited a family cemetery to take photos of markers, I felt surrounded by a lot of love. Everywhere I looked, there were babies who never grew to be an adult. There was my great grandfather, then a great-great grandfather, and the more I dug into the census and the more questions I asked, the more familiar these people became to me. A relative came up with a family tree, tracing our Warren family back to England. I found a great grandfather near my grandfather in a cemetery that the family had visited so many times but no one had ever noticed him. Everyone has been to visit him, now, paying the respects that were long overdue. Beside him, his wife, three sons and a daughter are buried.
I enjoy going to different cemeteries in our area and putting families together. The babies who have no parents with them catch my attention. When I list them, I hope someone finds them and adds them to their family. If I list someone who isn't a family member, I check out the census and our local history books to see if I can find something out about them. My mother has been a tremendous help, as she can recall so many details about these people and the life they lived. My husband has been there with me, wading through stickers, mosquitoes and the Texas heat.
If I have made any mistakes, please let me know. If I have listed your family member, I will be glad to transfer them and let you add them to your listings. I know how important family is to family. Speaking of family, I am researching the Warren , Knapp, Peace, Boydstun, (Boydston), French, Barnett, Carroll and Brim families and families of Navarro Co., Texas.

Find A Grave Memorial# 105973281
I am looking for a descendant of my Great Great Grandfather, Fielding Jones. He was married to July "Lucy" Miller. Luther Freeman Jones was one of his children. In the 1870 US Census, it shows that Luther F. Jones was 7 years old. I do not have any other information on him.
I am searching on 1863 as the year of his birth and found this Memorial. It lists his wife. Do you know anything about him? Or have an Obituary or anything?
If he is my relative, I sure would be thrilled. But? I don't have any information one way or the other.
Please help!!

RE: Simeon Taylor
Karen, I really appreciate the transfer. It means alot to me.
Yes, I have info for Simeon. His parents are Silas Taylor (1811-1887)and Elizabeth Wallis 1807-btw. 1870/80. Silas' mother was Nancy Tucker,daughter of Revolutionary War Soldier George Tucker b. 1745-1852).
Simeon was born per Bible Record that I have Feb. 17, 1842.
It appears through census records Simeon was born in Alabama,migrated to GA,MS,and then to Texas.
1850 Lafayette Co. MS Simeon living with parents
1860 Not found
Simeon married Sarah E. Baisdon-Womack. Sarah had a daughter (my great grandmother) Martha Womack from a previous marriage, and then three more children with Simeon: Eliza Penelopy (also buried in Dresden Cemetery and married James Harrison Hardman); Alma; and John "Cam".
James Harrison - James died and is buried in Collingsworth County, TX. The family did not have the money to bring him back to Navarro County for burial at the time of his death. Therefore, he has two tombstones; one in Collingsworth County and the other in Navarro County. The family never did bring him back to be buried with his wife.
1870 Pontotoc Co., MS
Taylor, Cimion, 28, Ala
Sarah, 33, GA (born abt. 1837)
Eliza, 3, F, W, At home, Miss
1880 Hopkins Co. TX Census
Simeon TAYLOR Self 38 AL Farmer Fa: GA Mo: GA
Sarah TAYLOR Wife 44 GA Keeping House Fa: SC Mo: GA (born abt. 1836)
Penny TAYLOR Dau 12 MS Farm Laborer Fa: AL Mo: GA
Almer TAYLOR Dau 10 MS Fa: AL Mo: GA
John TAYLOR Son 4 MS Fa: AL Mo: GA (b. 1876)
Silas TAYLOR Father 67 GA Occ: Farm Laborer Fa: NC Mo: GA
1900 Navarro Co. TX census
Simeon Taylor Feb 1842 58 GA GA GA 3 children one living, married 12 years
Sarah E. Taylor, Wife Nov 1848 51 MS SC SC
John M Taylor Son Dec 1874 25 MS GA AL
It appears that Simeon was married again after the death of Sarah. According to Bible records, Simeon's first wife Sarah Baisdon died 1886. The 1900 Navarro Census indicates that Simeon has married again to another Sarah and indicates they are married for 12 years (1888).
I hope this helps,and I really appreciate your tranfer of Simeon's memorial.

Green printer uses coffee dregs as ink
The paperless office is a great notion, but in reality there are still many scenarios where the printer needs to be switched on and fed with environmentally unfriendly consumables - paper and ink. Recycling and re-using paper for print jobs has become well entrenched, but the expensive and often frustrating process of replenishing the ink remains an issue for many of us. Which brings us to one of the cleverest recycling ideas to emerge from this year's Greener Gadgets competition - the RITI printer. This design concept by Jeon Hwan Ju takes your coffee or tea dregs, plus a little elbow grease, and turns them into an eco-friendly alternative to conventional ink. Read More

Read More
August 28, 2008 The coffee lifestyle is one that continues to evolve with the free thinking that comes with the technophiles who are driving the current revolution in technology – our readership and viewing statistics suggest that our readers emulate the caffeine-induced heightened awareness to emulate the ever-increasing clock speeds of our microprocessors. So it seems quite natural (at least to us) that the coffee machine would migrate from the kitchen to the living room - De'Longhi is facilitating the move with titanium, burl wood and leather look Perfecta Living Room limited edition machines that promise harmonious integration of a fully automatic espresso maker into the living environment.

Nespresso Lattissima with one-touch milk frother
May 22, 2007 Coffee is the world's second most traded commodity, behind only oil. The short "blast" afforded by a concentrated caffeine hit has become part of the daily ritual of hundreds of millions of people, yet, as any coffee connoisseur will tell you, producing a good coffee is something that is beyond most commercial food establishments on the planet. In recent times, a range of companies have attempted to replicate the perfect coffee by producing machinery that uses standardised pods and sophisticated circuitry to get the temperaures just right every time. The leader in this single-serve coffee segment is Nestle's Nespresso, with a range of machines we've written about many times (Miele's built-in Nespresso machine, Nespresso's InCar coffee machine, Nespresso's Romeo, the Nespresso Essenza, and our original assessment of the Nespresso system back in 2003) and the company's latest innovation has been done in concert with De'Longhi, the Italian household appliance designers. The Nespresso Lattissima machine is the manifestation of the companies' mutual vision to create a machine that would enable connoisseurs to easily prepare a latte or cappuccino of the highest quality with a one-touch milk froth function.

San Diego, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Stacy Davis scored a game-high 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the double-double as the Pepperdine Waves held on to beat the San Diego Toreros, 69-65, in West Coast Conference action at Jenny Craig Pavilion.
Davis connected on 8-of-15 shooting from the floor, and hit a perfect 11-of-11 from the free-throw line. Jeremy Major was the only other Waves player in double digits, netting 12 points and dishing out a team-best five assists for Pepperdine (11-7, 4-2 WCC). The Waves snapped a two-game losing streak with the victory.
Four players recorded double-digit point totals for the Toreros (10-8, 1-4). Dennis Kramer scored 17, while Duda Sanadze added 14 and four rebounds. Chris Sarbaugh contributed 12 points and Johnny Dee had 11. San Diego has lost four of its last five games.
Pepperdine shot 40.7 percent in the first half, including 5-of-11 from 3-point range. The Waves went into halftime with a 36-30 lead. The Toreros shot 47.8 percent from the floor in the initial 20 minutes.
San Diego did its best to catch up in the second half, shooting 63.2 percent from the field and outscoring Pepperdine 35-33 in the frame, but it wasn't enough. The Waves shot 47.6 percent in the second half and were 11-of-15 from the charity stripe.
Pepperdine took advantage of 17 San Diego giveaways and outscored the Toreros 22-9 in points off turnovers. The Waves had the edge at the free-throw line, 20-14, in the four-point game.

Yeah I agree with you, maybe they should have a "Valorious" difficulty beyond Level Cap mode which is tuned to be like BC heroics, maybe even have an Algalon style hidden boss for people who do these five man valorious acceivements with the proper level of gear.
I really don't think this ridiculious speed running in dungeons was a good idea. Besides the fact that it sort of ruins the world aspect of the game, theres so many other negative things I have seen because of it.
I can sympathize with the people who say they don't want the game to be a job. Its supposed to be fun after all. But why should my fun be ruined by others who think the only fun in this game is one-shotting everything in the game. I don't want to have to do hardmodes for a challenge, I'm not that good at this game.
Thankgod for Icecrown Citadel though, thats more my level.

Current Spafford Endowed Chair
Dr. Marilyn Luptak and Dr. Frances Wilby will serve consecutive 18-month terms as the Belle S. Spafford Endowed Chair during the colleagues three-year, joint research project.
Marilyn Luptak, PhD, MSW - 2011-2012
Dr. Luptak is an assistant professor in the University of Utah College of Social Work, where she also directs the Social Work in Aging emphasis for masters students. Additionally, she is a J. A. Hartford Geriatric Social Work Faculty Scholar, which has enabled her to advocate for older adults at the state and national levels.
Dr. Luptak earned both her PhD in social work with a minor in gerontology and her Master of Social Work degrees from the University of Minnesota. While pursuing her PhD, she was a J. A. Hartford Doctoral Fellow in Geriatric Social Work. Her work has been recognized with the University of Utah College of Social Works Mary Shields McPhee Award for Faculty Excellence in Teaching (2010), the National Institute on Aging 4th Annual Research Training on Aging and Social Work Award (2007-2008), and the National Institute on Aging Pre-doctoral Traineeship Award (2000-2003), among others.
My interest in serving older adults and their families began when I was a child growing up on a farm surrounded by neighbors who remained on their homesteads well into old ageoften until death, said Dr. Luptak. My personal interest led to a professional commitment to improve the lives of older persons and their families.
Frances Wilby, PhD, MSW - 2013-2014
Dr. Frances Wilby is also a member of the University of Utah College of Social Work faculty and is the executive director of the W.D. Goodwill Initiatives on Aging. She received a J. A. Hartford Doctoral Fellows grant to support her dissertation work while pursuing her PhD.
Dr. Wilby earned her PhD in social work, a Master of Social Work degree, and a masters degree in recreation and leisure from the University of Utah. Additionally, she earned a Graduate Certificate in Gerontology from the University of Utahs Center on Aging. While a student at the University of Utah, Dr. Wilbys scholarship and potential was recognized with the William McPhee Scholarship for PhD students who demonstrate outstanding promise in the area of social work research (2004), and the Edward Okazaki Memorial Award for achievement and promise in gerontology (2004), among other honors.
As a young girl, my first job was delivering newspapers to the residents of a retirement home where my father was the administrator, recalls Dr. Wilby. As an adult, I began my career in social services working in adult day centers, providing respite care to families of loved ones with various disabilities. These services were vital to the family in order for family members to continue working and caring for their loved ones at home, thus avoiding institutionalization.
Dr. Luptak and Dr. Wilbys commitment to helping others is evident in their teaching and mentoring of social work students, their service on the Salt Lake County Council for the Aging and the Utah Commission on Aging, and their own research. Both Dr. Luptak and Dr. Wilby are currently working on several research projects that examine various aspects of care for older adults in community and institutional settings. As with most research in aging, said Dr. Wilby, the majority of study participants are women.
Compared to older men, explained Dr. Luptak, older women are more likely to live in poverty, more likely to be widowed, and more likely to live with chronic health conditions and disabilities. Women are also typically the primary caregivers for aging family members, but since most women now work full-time, its becoming increasingly challenging for them to care for their older relatives.

"It's much easier to be cruel than one might think. It's often said that nature, 'red in tooth and claw,' is cruel. I heard this again and again from ranchers, who tried to persuade me that they were protecting their animals from that lay outside the enclosures.
Nature is no picnic, true. (Picnics are rarely picnics.) And it's also true that animals on the very best farms often have better lives than they would in the wild. But nature isn't cruel. And neither are the animals in nature that kill and occasionally even torture one another. Cruelty depends on an understanding of cruelty, and the ability to choose against it. Or to choose to ignore it." - Jonathan Safran Foer, "Eating Animals".
"It is unacceptable to perpetuate the commodification of one group for the benefit of another. Commodification involves treating the other—whether a woman, [a child], person of color, gay or lesbian, or nonhuman—as an object, as someTHING rather than as someONE." - Prof. Gary L. Francione

Saw this on the front page of Fidelity.com. Is there any validity to this? Seems like a bunch of baloney to me, but I figured I should ask since it's featured at the top of their front page.
