Led by singer-guitarist Stu Livingstone and featuring cellist Alex McMaster, the sextet crafts dreamy chamber pop. At times, the poetry is precious and the group's atmospheric, experimental soundscapes too reminiscent of Sigur Rós and Radiohead. But when Livingstone sings "winterize the scenes that leave you numb," his woolen toque seems to fit just perfectly.

The new High Line Park, an urban park in the sky, opened on June 9 to the public in New York City. It is constructed on top of the skeleton of a former rail system on building rooftops 30 feet above the ground. High Line Park is located on Manhattan's West Side, running from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 20th Street in Chelsea, between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues.
The rooftop park was renovated and designed by James Corner Field Operations along with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro. It has wooden lawns chairs, an LED lighting system, and landscape of green plants and grass among concrete. The park is accessible from Gansevoort Street, 14th Street, 16th Street, 18th Street, and 20th Street, and is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The original High Line, a 1.45-mile long steel railway, was built in the 1930s in an effort to remove freight trains from street traffic after too many accidents occurred between the two. No trains have run on the High Line since 1980. Nature took over after trains stopped running and became overgrown and untouched.
Friends of the High Line was founded in 1999, a non-profit community-led group advocating for the High Line's preservation and reuse as a public park. The group gained city support in 2002 with a City Council resolution supporting the High Line's reuse. Groundbreaking and construction started in April 2006.
A second section from 20th Street to 30th Street is projected to be ready in 2010, and a third and final section will come after that.

The hardest part of playing someone else's music is that they created it based on their ability. I lack a lot of ability, and therefore seek songs that a) kick ass, b) sound good, c) sound good to others, and d) fairly easy to play. It's a work in progress, and no, none of these are my works, so thanks to those who worked tirelessly, allowing me to strum along and make these tunes sound I believe they should.

Speaking to the official Club website this morning about the four re-signings, Blues Director of Rugby Mike Rayer said:
"It is extremely pleasing that these four, talented young players have signed on once again for another campaign at Goldington Road.
Bedford Blues and Saracens will once again be working together next season as it was confirmed that five talented youngsters will be heading to Goldington Road for the 2015/16 Greene King IPA Championship season.
The likes of Owen Farrell, George Kruis, Jackson Wray, James Short, Ben Ransom and Will Fraser all gained valuable experience with the Blues before going on to make a huge impact with Saracens and the same is hoped for the current crop who will be heading up the M1 from Allianz Park.
The NSPCC has teamed up with the Bedford Blues, who are supporting the charity's latest campaign – The Really Big Board Game Day, and are appealing to people across Bedford to stage an event and help make the day a regular in the social calendar.
If you're a Monopoly fanatic, an Operation obsessive or a Buckaroo evangelist, then why not get a few friends, neighbours or colleagues together to play your favourite board games on Friday 15 May, and you can help to protect childhoods from abuse and neglect.
Goldington Road was treated to a try-fest on Friday night as Bedford Blues players of past and present came together to celebrate James Pritchard's Testimonial Season.
Skippy's Year is drawing to a close, but the best was saved for last as the Blues legend invited past teammates, and a few other friends, to go head-to-head with the current crop as a Bedford Select XV took on Skippy's Invitational under the Friday Night Lights.
Ahead of kick-off, the thousand strong crowd were treated to some exceptional rugby displays from around 150 Junior Blues who had the chance to compete on the Goldington Road turf before the main event.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a graphical user interface for an electronic shopping mall, and more particularly to a graphical user interface which resembles the layout of a mall to facilitate the users navigation of and acclimation to a particular web site.
2. Background of the Invention
The use of the Internet and the World Wide Web (the "Web") is continuing to expand at an exponential rate with new users logging on each day. Many web pages allow users to browse and purchase merchandise without the user ever having to leave the computer terminal.
Before the advent of on-line shopping, consumers typically had to go to stores and shopping malls. Some consumers, however, do not enjoy shopping and would prefer to do so from their homes. Likewise, many consumers are pressed to find significant time to enjoy the shopping experience, thereby making if difficult to spend quality time in a shopping mall. Furthermore, shopping malls and stores often present obstacles for consumers, including the handicapped and the elderly, who may be intimidated by crowds. Additionally, shopping malls are generally located in densely populated areas. For many consumers, particularly those in rural areas, time and distance are prohibitive factors in traveling to a shopping mall.
Mail order catalogs and television shopping channels have sought to address these challenges, with varying degrees of success. However, mail order catalogs suffer from the problem that consumers are limited in their shopping choices by the types of catalogs they receive through the mail. Television shopping channels are not available in every city and consumers have no control over what items are viewed.
These and other disadvantages are sought to be overcome by the preferred embodiments of the invention.
It is therefore an object of the preferred embodiments to provide a mechanism by which consumers may shop without having to visit the shopping mall.
It is a further object of the preferred embodiments to reduce the time and effort expended by consumers in meeting their shopping needs.
It is still further an object of the preferred embodiments is to allow consumers to shop at a variety of stores, as would be the case in visiting a shopping mall, without having to leave the home and without having to collect mail order catalogs.
The present invention is directed to a graphical user interface for use on a computer connected to a network that supports hypertext links. The graphical user interface comprises a web page having a graphical image which encompasses a predetermined area, and which represents a physical structure. In one preferred embodiment, the physical structure is a shopping mall having at least two floors. The graphical image has a plurality of sub-graphical regions positioned about the graphical image which, in one preferred embodiment, represent stores in the shopping mall. In each of these sub-regions a hypertext link connects the web site represented by the sub-region. When one of these sub-regions is activated, the corresponding web site is imported into the web page, displaying the specific information from the connected web site. In one preferred embodiment, the specific store is brought into the web page for the user to shop.
An icon (also known as graphical buttons), if selected, preferably causes the web page to display a preselected graphical image. In one preferred embodiment, the preselected image is of the first floor of the shopping mall. This enables the user to a return to a familiar site and then enter a new store, much like what happens in the real world.
Another feature of the present invention is the use of icons to navigate through the different levels of the graphical image. In order to facilitate the users acclimation to the graphical user interface, these icons represent transportation conduits, thus transporting the user between different levels as represented by the graphical image. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, these transportation conduits represent escalators, elevators or flights of stairs. Each of these transportation conduits provide artificial resemblance to the real world, thus providing the user with a familiar means of navigation.
Still another feature of the present invention is the use of sub-regions representing conventional details in the physical world, but which are merely decorative in the virtual world. For one preferred embodiment, these types of details may include restrooms or a food court in the shopping mall. These additional levels of detail do not actually function as their comparable physical world embodiments, yet provide some additional familiarity to the user as the user navigates through the graphical user interface.
Yet another feature of the present invention is the use of sub-regions that represent conventional details in the physical world and that have similar functions in the virtual worlds. In one preferred embodiment, some of these images include a center court, an information booth and a newsstand. In each of these locations, specific information which would be available in their physical world counterpart is also available in the virtual world.
By providing a virtual simulation for the physical world structure, a user will likely be accustomed to receiving certain information from such a site.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a careful reading of the Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments presented below and accompanied by the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a graphical user interface according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the graphical user interface of FIG. 1 according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the graphical user interface showing multiple levels according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a first preferred embodiment of the invention includes a graphical user interface comprising a web page 6 having a graphical image 1 depicting a physical structure. In this embodiment, that structure is the floor plan for a mall. The graphical image 1 encompasses a predetermined area on the web page. The graphical image 1 includes sub-regions 2 (FIG. 2) located within the predetermined area. These sub-regions 2 are hypertext linked (or linked) to other web page sites 7. In other embodiments, the sub-regions 2 may be connected to web page sites 7 in a different manner. In one preferred embodiment, at least some of the sub-regions 2 depict retail shops that, for example, might be found in a mall.
The graphical user interface is used with a browser on a computer. The computer, in turn, is connected to a network which, in this preferred embodiment, is capable of supporting hypertext links. Networks capable of supporting other manners of connection are also envisioned. The particular type of browser, computer, or network is not important to this invention. Rather, the type of browser, network, or computer to use will be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.
In a preferred embodiment, when a sub-region is selected, a retail site is imported into the second frame 14 of the web page. Importation of the retail site into the second frame 14 of the web page may occur in a number of different ways, including, in this preferred embodiment, by a hypertext link. The first frame 9 remains unchanged, giving the appearance to the user of remaining at the original site. The user may then interact with the retail site. An icon 10 in the first frame of the web page of the retail site is always viewable to the user. The icon 10 is connected to the graphical image 1. and in the preferred embodiment, the icon 10, when activated, returns the user to the main area of the mall. The connection controls the web page 6 in that it determines what is displayed on the web page 6. Icon 10 may be linked to the main area of the mall, or, in other embodiments, connected in a different manner. For example, when a user is ready to exit a virtual store, the user moves to the door and is returned to the main area of the mall. It will be apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art that a banner, a single frame, or a table may be used with the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
These retail sites may in turn be linked to other web pages or sites 8. In addition to the graphical image 1, the web page 6 may include one or more other active areas on the web page 6. One such active area may include a banner 9 (FIG. 1), to give general information about the page, such as the title and the maker/owner of the page. Another such active area may include one or more icons 16. Icons 16 may be used to move to sites within the web page 6, or may be linked to other sites, such as, for example, the home page of the owner of the mall web site.
With particular reference to FIG. 2, a more detailed view of the graphical image I is illustrated. Other sub-regions in the graphical image may include one or more transportation icons 3, which transport the user between different floors of the mall. Transportation icons 3 may appear as escalators, elevators, stairs, or the like. Other sub-regions may include an information area 4, which provides information about the mall. An information area 4 may be used, for example, to answer questions users may have about the stores, delivery of items, or the mall in general. Users may also, for example, be able to make comments and suggestions about the mall. Additionally, another sub-region of the graphical image may be a central area 5 which serves as a posting area for sales, general announcements, and special events, for example, such as on-line chat sessions with retailers, authors or the like. In one preferred embodiment, a sub-region functions as a newsstand 26. At the newsstand 26, users may subscribe to magazines, newspapers or the like. Additional embodiments may include links from the newsstand to subscriptions or on-line publications. This list of sub-region functions is not meant to be exhaustive or limit the invention, but rather to illustrate the various possibilities and embodiments.
Other sub-regions may include restrooms 13 or a food court 15. The restroom 13. for example may be linked to a web page which includes a picture of a men's room door and a women's room door. While these sub-regions obviously do not function as their counterparts in an actual mall function, they do provide additional familiarity as the user navigates through the virtual mall.
FIG. 3 presents a depiction of a virtual mall with multiple levels. While this view is not how the virtual mall would appear to a user on a web page 11 it is illustrative of how the virtual mall functions. The virtual mall in this embodiment consists of three separate graphical images 101, 201, 301, each similar in function to the graphical image 1 of FIG. 2. Each graphical image represents a floor of the virtual mall. A single graphical image is located on a web page at a time. In this embodiment, the floors are connected by a transportation icon represented as an elevator 12. Alternatively, escalators (as shown, e.g., in FIG. 1), stairs, or other transportation devices may also be used. Activating the elevator 12 icon allows the user to move between floors of the virtual mall in much the same way as a shopper would move between different floors of a real mall.
Each graphical image 101, 201, 301, encompasses a predetermined area of the web page and also includes sub-regions 102, 202, 302 which depict retail stores common to a mall. These sub-regions 102, 202, 302 are in turn linked to retail sites. Some sub-regions 203, 303, may represent the same store which can be accessed from the different floors. Just as real malls have "anchor stores" which have many levels, the virtual mall may include larger retail sites which have entrances on more than one floor.
While the invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes and substitutions can be made to the preferred embodiments herein described without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

We present classical and quantum studies of the scattering dynamics of Rydberg electron wave packets from the electronic core of alkali atoms. In quantum systems an ideal state for studying such effects is an angularly localized wave packet in which the primary effect of the scattering is to cause precession. The scattering is enhanced by the application of an external dc electric field. We calculate and animate the field-induced dynamics of both hydrogenic and alkali wave packets and compare them to classical atomic models. We find that in alkali systems the scattered wavefunction can be divided into two components: one whose nearly hydrogenic behavior is due to quantum interference near the core, and another which exhibits the orbital precession found in classical models of nonhydrogenic atoms.
© Optical Society of America
1. Introduction
Although wave packet studies in Rydberg atoms were initially motivated by a desire to explore the classical limit of the hydrogen atom1, recent work has shown that such wave packets also provide an excellent arena for examining non-hydrogenic effects in multi-electron atoms2,3. In atoms with two or more valence electrons, the possibility of exciting multi-electron wave packets is very intriguing and represents a considerable challenge both theoretically and experimentally. But even in atoms with a single valence electron there are interesting multi-electron effects due to the presence of the non-Coulombic core. In this paper we will show that the behavior of wave packet states in such atoms can reveal the classical dynamics underlying scattering from complex cores.
Recent treatments of core scattering in alkali atoms have used a semiclassical analysis of the scaled energy levels to model nonhydrogenic effects in applied fields4–6. The aim of these studies was to gain a better understanding of non-integrable quantum systems whose analogs are classically chaotic. The standard semiclassical techniques rely on the summation of contributions from hydrogenic closed orbits and include both Coulomb-scattered and core-scattered orbits. These calculations have provided excellent agreement with the full quantum treatments for both the diamagnetic4,5 and Stark6 cases.
Our approach concentrates on the dynamics of the wavefunction instead of the spectrum. By preparing the electron initially in an angularly localized wave packet7 or elliptic state1, we can isolate the core scattering effects from the dynamics associated with radial8 or Stark wave packets2. Elliptic states have a strong correspondence with classical theory9 and this allows us to compare the alkali atom results with the well-known classical and quantum dynamics of the hydrogen atom. With only minor modifications of existing experimental techniques2,7 it should be possible to very directly examine the dynamics of an individual scattering event.
2. Stark dynamics of elliptic states in hydrogen
We begin with a brief review of the dynamics of a classical hydrogen atom in a dc electric field10–12. We will use atomic units throughout the paper. The interesting field-induced dynamics can be separated from the Kepler motion by examining slowly varying orbital parameters such as the angular momentum L = r × p and the Runge-Lenz vector A = p × L - r/r. Like the angular momentum, the Runge-Lenz vector is a constant of the field-free motion. It lies antiparallel to the major axis of the orbit and has a magnitude equal to the orbital eccentricity ∊.
The Hamiltonian for the system including the dc electric field E is
Figure 1:
Choosing V(r) = -1/r, the hydrogen Coulomb potential, we can form the equations of motion for L and A, and average them over a Kepler period TK. The remaining adiabatic evolution of the averaged classical parameters is given by
where n corresponds to the classical field-free energy ε = -1/(2n 2). Although the field does induce a classical Stark shift in the energy (for a recent discussion see Ref. 12) we will focus on the dynamics of the orbit.
Equations (2) are easily solved for a dc electric field in the xy-plane of the classical orbit giving sinusoidal solutions for Lz, Ax and Ay. This analytic result allows us to interpret the orbital deformation in the trajectory shown in Fig. 1a. The frequency of this oscillation is given by the Stark frequency and we show the corresponding oscillation of the angular momentum in Fig. 2.
Quantum mechanically we can see identical behavior in the dynamics of an elliptic state in a dc electric field. The analysis of the classical electron interacting with the field did not depend on the exact initial position and momentum, but rather on the initial orbital parameters. The time averages in Eqs. (2) can be replaced by ensemble averages and the results can now be interpreted in terms of an ensemble of electrons rather than in terms of one isolated electron. A quantum-mechanical analog of such a classical ensemble traveling in an elliptic orbit is an elliptic state9. Formally an elliptic state is a coherent state of the rotation group in three dimensions, SO(3), whose generators are two components of the scaled Runge-Lenz operator, nÂx and nÂy, and a component of the angular momentum, L̂z. These states can be well-described classically and, although they represent stationary states, the spatial distributions of elliptic state wavefunctions closely resemble the corresponding classical ellipses. In this paper the dynamics of the wavefunction will result from an external electric field. To avoid confusion we point out that there are superpositions of elliptic states from neighboring n manifolds which produce dynamic field-free wave packets known as elliptic orbit wave packets. For the purposes of this paper, we feel that the use of a single elliptic state better illustrates the effect of core scattering.
Figure 2:
The circular states |n,n - 1, ±(n - 1)) are the only states in a given n manifold which are both elliptic states and field-free eigenstates. The animation in Fig. 3a shows the time evolution of a circular state of hydrogen in a weak dc electric field (manifolds of different n are not mixed). The calculation was performed by integrating SchrÖdinger's equation in the presence of a dc electric field using hydrogenic dipole moments. The three dimensional probability distribution is projected onto the xy plane. The parameters were chosen to match the classical orbit in Fig. 1. The resulting deformation of the wavefunction is identical to the oscillations of the classical ellipse in Fig. 1a and it can be shown that the wavefunction remains in an elliptic state throughout its evolution. The dynamics of the expectation value of the angular momentum is sinusoidal as shown by the dashed curve in Fig. 4a
3. Stark dynamics of elliptic states in alkali atoms
When non-Coulombic effects are introduced into the potential V(r) the classical Stark dynamics is quite different as shown in Fig 1b. We use a model potential16 for sodium which includes long range polarizability terms as well as short range core effects
where αd is the dipole core polarizability, α′q is the dynamical quadrupole polarizability of the core and the parameters a, b, c, and rc are chosen to match sodium spectroscopic data16.
It is well-known13 that additions to the Coulomb core V(r) = - 1/r + ϕ(r) lead to a precession of the Runge-Lenz vector and hence the major axis of the orbital ellipse
Figure 3:
This precession of the orbit is analogous to the precession caused by perturbations in celestial potentials such as the gravitational correction that leads to the advance of the perihelion of Mercury14,15. Under field-free conditions the precession rate of the atomic orbit is constant and for nearly circular orbits it is negligible. However, for highly eccentric orbits, the electron closely approaches the core at its inner turning point causing the orbit to precess. In Fig. 1b we show the effect of this precession on the Stark dynamics15. Initially, the behavior is nearly hydrogenic and the orbital parameters begin to vary sinusoidally. However, as the eccentricity increases, the core effects become prominent causing a rapid precession of the orbit. As the highly eccentric orbit precesses its interaction with the field changes and when the orbit has rotated by an angle of nearly 180° the field now causes the magnitude of the angular momentum to increase and the precessional rate becomes negligible once again. This precessional mechanism prevents the angular momentum from changing sign as it does in hydrogen and from the solid curve in Fig. 2 we see that this effect places a lower limit on the angular momentum.
For a field of 800 V/cm the rapid precession occurred in only a few Kepler periods but its duration is inversely proportional to the field strength. In weaker fields the period of rapid precession may last many Kepler periods and the electron undergoes many near-collisions with the core. As we will see in the following quantum mechanical simulations, these multiple scattering events in weak fields produce a larger scattered component in the wavefunction.
Although the long-range polarizability terms in Eqn. 3 do produce nonhydro-genic effects, we find that they are not essential for a qualitative description of the classical dynamics of the electron17. It is the short range exponential term that provides the dominant core-scattering effect that we see in Fig. 1b.
Figure 4:
Figure 5:
To examine core effects quantum mechanically we integrate Schrodinger's equation in a weak dc electric field using sodium dipole moments18 for the n = 15 manifold. We also include the 16s and 16p states whose large quantum defects place them within the n = 15 manifold.
The animation in Fig. 3b shows the results of this calculation for an initial circular state. The behavior is initially hydrogenic but as the eccentricity increases we see evidence of the underlying classical precession. However, part of the wavefunction appears to continue to behave hydrogenically and after half of a Stark period these two parts of the wavefunction interfere in counter-propagating circular states. During the second collision with the core, the non-hydrogenic part of the wavefunction is rescattered and after one full Stark period the total wavefunction is almost entirely in the original circular state. The time dependence of the expectation value of the angular momentum (see Fig. 4a) behaves like neither hydrogen or classical sodium.
4. Stark dynamics of core-scattered wave packets
In order to understand the physics underlying this effect we will divide the wavefunction at t = 0.5Ts into two wave packets: one containing only states for which m < 0 (this part of the wave function did not scatter from the core) and the other containing the remaining m ≥ 0 states (this represents the scattered portion of the total wavefunction). Experimentally this could be accomplished through the use of selective field ionization of the wave packet at t = 0.5Ts.
Before renormalization, the total population in the m < 0 states was approximately 48% with the remaining 52% scattered into the m ≥ 0 states. The ratio between the scattered and unscattered parts of the wave function varies as a function of the strength of the electric field. The dependence is approximately logarithmic on the Stark period as shown in Fig 5.
The reason for such a division of the wavefunction is revealed in the animations shown in Fig. 6. The behavior of the wave packets is strikingly different in the two cases.
Figure 6:
The m < 0 wave packet in Fig. 6b behaves nearly hydrogenically except near the core where, unlike hydrogen, there is never appreciable population. Because of this interference near the core the m < 0 wave packet experiences much reduced core scattering resulting in hydrogenic behavior. The wave packet consisting of m ≥ 0 states displays the rapid precession characteristic of the classical sodium model and is almost entirely scattered from the core. As in the classical model, this scattering process lasts only a few Kepler periods as the wavefunction precesses by approximately 180°.
In Fig. 4b we show the evolution of the angular momenta of the two wave packets discussed above. The difference in the scattering behavior is clearly evident and shows all of the features of the classical behavior shown in Fig. 2. The the finite extent of the quantum wave function smoothes the minima of the angular momentum of the scattered wave packet. We also see the shortening of the Stark period in the scattered case.
5. Summary
We have presented a classical perspective of core-scattering in alkali atoms by using the Stark dynamics of angularly localized wave packets to visualize core effects. Although the scattering of these wave packets has a classical interpretation there is not a direct correspondence between the classical and quantum theories as there is in hydrogen. The phase shifts associated with the quantum defects of the low angular momentum alkali states produce interference which leads to behavior containing features of both classical sodium and classical hydrogen. The use of angularly-localized wave packets reveals how quantum phase affects the dynamics underlying scattering and allows us to understand the behavior suggested by the studies of semiclassical scaled energy spectra.

Feds Collect $12.1M in Kansas Criminal, Civil Cases
Associated Press - January 9, 2014 7:16 pm
Kansas collected $30 million less in taxes than anticipated in August, but officials said larger-than-expected income tax refunds were largely the reason.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says federal prosecutors collected about $12.1 million in criminal and civil legal actions last year.
Grissom says in a news release that $6.1 million of the total came from criminal cases and $6 million from civil actions.
His office also worked with other U.S. attorney's offices in other states and the Justice Department to collect an additional $2.8 million in cases pursued jointly in civil actions.
Among the Kansas collections were environmental violation penalties of $1.7 million from Coffeyville Resources Refining and Marketing and $1.6 million from Ash Grove Cement. More than $853,000 came from Hutchinson Regional Medical Center in a settlement over allegations of false Medicare claims.

Hindenburg ticket goes on viewBreaking News
tags: Smithsonian, museums, Hindenburg, exhibits
"None of us know the Lord's will," Burtis J. "Bert" Dolan wrote to his wife about his journey on the new airship, the Hindenburg. He had purchased his ticket for the trip on May 1, 1937, two days before setting off from Frankfurt, Germany. It cost him 1,000 RM, equivalent to about $450 during the Great Depression, according to the National Postal Museum. His ticket survived the disaster on May 6, 1937. He did not. He died, along with 35 others.
The exhibit, "Fire and Ice," which opened in spring 2012 for the 75th anniversary, included never-before-seen discoveries like the map of the Hindenburg's route across the Atlantic, but now, thanks to the Dolan family, it will also include what may be the only surviving passenger ticket from the disaster....
