National Ballet of Canada to Broadcast Nutcracker to Movie Theaters
Posted 04 December 2007 - 04:36 PM
Posted 09 December 2007 - 07:51 AM
Some of the Pros:
Many more people will be able to access top-notch ballet performances paid for by Canadian tax dollars.
Reasonable prices.
Some of the Cons:
How will it effect local Nutcrackers, produced by local companies?
Will it ever be able to substitute for live performances?
Will it be able to pay for itself, or be another drain on the limited subsidies available?

A good question. I hope someone will be looking at the impact of this carefully. The great success of last year's wonderful Met Live-HD -- starting up again today with Romeo et Juliette -- has apparently not hurt the two big opera companies in our region. In fact, sales for this season's opener at Palm Beach Opera (Turandot) seem to have been up.

Some of the Cons:
How will it effect local Nutcrackers, produced by local companies?
[ ... ]
The large number of operas in ongoing rep allow for cross-over purchases. (I.e., "If you liked "X" you'll LOVE "Y.") However, Nutcracker is Nutcracker. There's just one. For many it's a one-time-a-year tradition that does not necessarily carry over to other ticket purchases at the ballet. Will people to to the movie AND to their local production (especially a "company" as oppossed to "school" production)?

A Nutcracker for everyone, and controversy on the side
Perhaps this mini-scandal will finally force the Canada Council to confront the apparent conflict of interest of having Karen Kain as its chair while she is also artistic director of the dance company that receives the largest chunk of funding from said Council. It's really beyond me how she can hold both posts. I admire Jean Grand-Maître and Gradimir Pankov for having the guts to criticize her publicly.
In principle I approve of the National Ballet of Canada's initiative. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation stopped broadcasting full-length ballets years ago, so simulcasts are probably the only way Canadian ballet companies can hope to reach broad audiences. But instead of "poaching" Nutcracker audiences, why not broadcast a Sleeping Beauty in October or a Romeo & Juliet in May? As for me, I'm torn over whether to see this Nutcracker broadcast or not.
Posted 15 December 2007 - 11:34 PM
It's really beyond me how she can hold both posts. I admire Jean Grand-Maître and Gradimir Pankov for having the guts to criticize her publicly.
Yes, so do I. But the good thing in all of this is the internet is getting more vocal (in spots - carefully) and it is no longer possible to hide behind a controlled media. And the more that Canadians (at least in the west) see of the quality of this company, and its school, the more they will realize that the emperor has no clothes. "top-notch ballet performances"? I don't think so!
It's interesting that the estimated government subsidized overrun on this one project "She estimated the total budget will be around $700,000 -- more than three times what the National Ballet expects to bring in from ticket revenue." is more than the Goh Ballet's total annual budget of $400,000 p.a. for a 30 year old company of 30 dancers which performs and tours more than this lot. And I expect that budget included their potential Nut revenue. Ballet BC gets 20% of their income from Nutcracker according to the article above. That's income, not shortfall.
Posted 16 December 2007 - 04:47 AM
Nutcracker shows, specialy in big cities, sell out no matter what. The simulcast of the NBC Nutcracker will just raise the profile and bring more people in to the theatres. It will also give audiences as well as dancers in smaller cities a chance to view a top-notch production which can only stimulate more interest and higher standards.
As to the financial shortfall of the production, I am sure the NBC had sponsors lined up around the block to have their name attached. A perfect opportunity to reach their target audiences. For those of you who will attend the event in the movie theatres, keep an eye out for the credits and the advertisements in the intermission.
Posted 16 December 2007 - 12:54 PM
Now are my thoughts laid bare... Truth is, the prospect of a National Ballet of Canada simulcast doesn't exactly excite me. I saw the company give a pretty ragged performance of Giselle during its biennial western Canadian tour a few months ago, and not being a great fan of James Kudelka, I'm in no hurry to see his Nutcracker either. For the record, I've seen my local Nutcracker already, so chances are I'll skip the NBoC simulcast at Cineplex Odeon theatres and instead opt for the San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker showing at a local Empire Theatre (same day, more or less same time), because I suspect the quality of dancing will be superior. It'll be interesting to see what happens on the afternoon of December 22 in places like Montreal, Winnipeg and Calgary, where people will have their choice of three Nutcrackers to see.
And the more that Canadians (at least in the west) see of the quality of this company, and its school, the more they will realize that the emperor has no clothes. "top-notch ballet performances"? I don't think so!

It is being produced by KQED with Great PEformances, and "Opus Arte" is listed in the end-credits of the preview, which, hopefully, means there's a chance it will be distributed on DVD.
According to the NBoC website, the cast is:
Sugarplum Fairy: Heather Ogden
Peter/The Nutcracker: Guillaume Côté
Snow Queen and her Icicles: Xiao Nan Yu, Etienne Lavigne, Nehemiah Kish
Baba: Victoria Bertram
Uncle Nikolai: Piotr Stanczyk
Posted 16 December 2007 - 02:44 PM
Posted 16 December 2007 - 04:58 PM
I would think that since NBoC gets substantial public subsidies, but rarely ventures outside of Toronto, this is a cost-effective way to "share" the company without the cost of a major tour, and certainly without losing revenue during the lucrative "Nutcracker" season.
I'm not sure what kind of deal SFB made. Sad that both are on the same day. I love Cote much more than I dislike Kudelka.
Posted 16 December 2007 - 05:46 PM
My guess would be that the NBoC/Cineplex Odeon and Opus Arte/Empire deals were being worked out simultaneously. The NBoC press announcement was made on November 20, while Digiscreen made its announcement on December 3. It is a pity that most people won't have an opportunity to see both Nutcracker broadcasts, but I suppose there's only one Saturday matinee before Christmas.
It's interesting that both Cineplex Odeon and Empire Theatres show the Met broadcasts. Last season in my city of residence they split the dates between them. This year Empire is showing the operas in its home base of Atlantic Canada, while Cineplex Odeon has rights to the rest of the country. That's Canada for you. Everything's always one step away from total monopoly.
Posted 16 December 2007 - 06:20 PM
If they can broadcast outside of the US and become the "Nutcracker" of choice, the company that people recognize, then they are one step closer to bypass the judgement of US critics.
Posted 18 December 2007 - 12:52 PM
Nutcracker Matinee
Conductor: Robert Wood
Drosselmeyer: Ricardo Bustamante
Queen and King of the Snow: Julianne Kepley, Anthony Spaulding
Sugar Plum Fairy: Sarah Van Patten
Grand Pas de Deux: TBA
I've never seen Kepley or Spaulding in solo roles (or at least that I can remember). A broacast (and, hopefully DVD) is quite a coup for this soloist/corps pair.
I think it's going to be SFB at Empire Granville 7 Cinemas on Saturday (And for us West coasters, the performance starts at a more reasonable 1pm [vs. 11am]).
ETA: I just bought a ticket online -- it was $22.15 (Canadian) with all fees for an adult ticket. (I've got my fingers crossed for Nedvigin in the Grand Pas de Deux.)

I think it'd be a blast to play Dance Central in a gaming room set up with blacklights and/or strobes. Would that actually work, or would it screw with Kinect's cameras?
The Kinect uses a couple of things to determine a person's location in a room.
Blacklights are primarily ultraviolet, which puts them at the opposite end of the visible light spectrum from the infrared laser sensor. The other sensor is primarily concerned with the visible spectrum, and probably won't respond to ultraviolet light. Therefore, I wouldn't think the blacklight would be detectable by either of the Kinect's sensors.
When it comes to strobe lights though, you're more likely to have problems. For one, strobe lighting implies that sometimes it's going to be dark, and sometimes it's going to be bright. This is going to confuse the RGB camera, as these types of cameras require post-processing to compensate for light levels. Try aiming a webcam at a window, and then closing and opening the shades while it's sunny outside, and you'll see how these types of cameras react under changing light conditions.
I don't think this type of response would be conducive to gaming, especially since the Kinect's response under normal lighting conditions is kind of picky and finicky at best.

Mr. Naimi said that prospects for global production of shale gas and oil -- including in China, Ukraine and Poland -- were so promising that the kingdom might not need to continue with its decades-long policy of maintaining an output cushion in case of disruptions in global supply.
By SUMMER SAID
DUBAI -- Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi on Monday said the
rise of unconventional energy sources doesn't threaten his
country's dominant role in world oil supply because demand also
is increasing.
"I don't think anyone should fear new supplies when set
against increasing global demand," Mr. Naimi said in a speech
at the Brookings Doha Center. "More companies and nations are
competing for their slice of the energy pie, that's true. But
the pie is getting bigger and there is enough to go
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest crude producer, has seen
its lead narrow sharply in the past year as a result of the
boom in US shale oil.
US crude production in November and December topped 7
million bpd for the first time in 20 years. At the same time,
Saudi Arabia reduced its oil production to 9.025 million bbl in
December, 5% less than in November. It was the kingdom's
deepest cut in almost three years, reflecting weaker demand,
chiefly from Asian nations.
The US government recently forecast that US crude output
will swell to 7.5 million bpd within six months. The
International Energy Agency, which represents key oil
consumers, has predicted the US will overtake Saudi Arabia by
Mr. Naimi said he US "will undoubtedly have a greater
role to play," in the global energy scene but oil outlook
remains strong, particularly from Asian countries.
Last month, Mr. Naimi said that prospects for global
production of shale gas and oil -- including in China, Ukraine
and Poland -- were so promising that the kingdom might not need
to continue with its decades-long policy of maintaining an output
cushion in case of disruptions in global supply.
Saudi Arabia itself intends to remain a world energy
powerhouse for the foreseeable future, partly by exploiting new
technology that has unlocked vast
quantities of oil and natural gas in North America.
It will push ahead this year with exploratory drilling of shale
and other unconventional gas reserves which Mr. Naimi has said
could be twice as large as its conventional gas reserves, which
total 286 trillion cubic feet.
Mr. Naimi said Monday he was certain that Gulf members of
the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will continue
to fulfill their role as stable suppliers of energy to world
"We are working to boost economic growth at home, and we
will continue to work with our customers across the world to
ensure we meet all demand going forward," he added.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

As the amount of sensitive data we store online in services like NYU Google Apps for Education (e.g., NYU E-mail, Calendar, Docs, Groups) increases, safeguarding privacy and security is of ever-greater importance. University community members need to be aware of the policies regarding and guidelines designed to help safeguard your personal information.
As described in the Terms of Use for NYU Google Apps for Education:
NYU Google Apps for Education is a set of communications and collaboration applications hosted by Google Inc. on behalf of New York University. NYU Google Apps for Education is offered by Google to NYU in accordance with a specially negotiated end-user license agreement designed to protect the privacy and security of information owned by New York University and the members of its community, guaranteeing that Google will not access or reuse information stored in these applications for its own, commercial purposes.
While this agreement provides a measure of protection, it is important to remember that privacy and security remain the individual's responsibility. NYU's adoption of Google Apps for Education has provided an opportunity to remind ourselves of the importance of the various policies and guidelines that describe best practices and requirements concerning privacy and security, especially for sending, storing, and sharing data using these services.
The Policy on Responsible Use of NYU Computers and Data is NYU's basic policy that outlines the obligations, requirements, and specifications concerning the use of NYU computers and data. It reminds members of the University community and affiliates that access to NYU computer and data resources is a privilege and that they need to employ reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the computer and data resources that they use and the sensitive data stored on these resources.
The ITS Data Classification Table describes four classes of data:
Nothing about the implementation of NYU Google Apps for Education changes NYU's policies or guidelines for appropriate handling of these data sources, whether transmitted, shared, or stored.
NYU E-mail continues to be an official method of communication with the NYU community. Restricted data, unless encrypted, should not be sent via e-mail. While the contents of NYU E-mail messages are encrypted during transmission, they are not encrypted when stored. Care should be taken with Protected data as well. For example, final grades should be communicated to students via Albert and not e-mail; for interim or assignment grades, e-mail may be used.
NYU Docs and Files 2.0 should not be used to store and share Restricted data. NYU's Webspace service was created with additional security measures, so it can be safely used for Restricted data.
NYU Google Apps for Education are sufficiently secure to be used for private documents, such as tenure committee discussions, personal papers, class notes, and scholarly materials. It is especially easy to use NYU Docs to share documents and files with others; therefore, special care should be taken to ensure that you do not share documents more broadly than you intend. In particular, when sharing documents, be sure to select the right person or people from the NYU address list. Also, be sure to understand the difference between giving a user "view" and "edit" access, and make sure you have selected the appropriate level of access. Keep the "minimum necessary" concept in mind: include only the minimum number of people and the minimum amount of information needed to achieve your intended purpose. Finally, be aware of the option to "publish to the Web," and determine whether that is appropriate for the material you are sharing. Additional information about sharing documents via NYU Docs is available on the NYU Google Apps website.
For researchers, special care should be taken with research data to ensure that funding agency requirements and institutional IRB guidelines are met.
Federal export control regulations prohibit the unauthorized "export" of certain controlled items, information, or software to foreign persons or entities in the U.S. and abroad. Export-controlled items provided by a third party may not be shared openly with certain foreign nationals, even though those individuals may be important contributors to the performance of the research. It can be a federal crime to share export-controlled data with collaborators who are not United States citizens or permanent United States residents, or to transmit export controlled data to a location outside of the U.S. NYU E-mail users are responsible for ensuring that specific export-controlled technology or technical data may be sent via e-mail and is transmitted and stored in accordance with federal export control laws and regulations. As noted above, although encrypted during transmission, the contents of NYU E-mail messages are not encrypted when stored (see NYU's Export Control Regulations page).
NYU's adoption of Google Apps for Education has provided exciting new tools and new services for our educational community. However, we must not forget that although the technology has changed, our roles and responsibilities have not. We must use our new tools wisely and continue to safeguard the information and data in our care.

Let $m_i\geq 2 (1\leq i\leq n)$ be $n$ pairwisely coprime positive integers and let $q_i\geq 2 (1\leq i\leq n)$ be $n$ arbitrary prime powers, let$A=\prod_{i=1}^n(({q_i}^{m_i}-1)/(q_i-1))$. Let $\sigma(A)$ be the number of different prime factors of A, is it true that $\sigma(A)\geq n$? If this is not true, is there a counterexample? Is there a good way to estimate $\sigma(A)$?
No it's not true you have the following counterexample: $$ \frac{2^5-1}{2-1} \times \frac{5^3-1}{5-1} = 31^2 $$
Let take a look to the special case when your $q_i$ are actually $n$ distinct \emph{odd} prime numbers.
I use the standard notations : $\omega(H)$ is the number of distinct prime divisors of $H$ and $\sigma(G)$ is the sum of all positive divisors of $G.$
Put $B$ the product of all the $q_i^{m_i}$
then we have
$$ \sigma(B) = mB $$
if $B$ is an odd $m$-multi-perfect number.
((sure, we do not known concrete examples of this, but...)
So, in this case
$$ \omega(B) = n $$
and you have your lower bound attained.

A must book for students and practitioners.
The best book to learn from about the acupuncture points and meridians, both functions and locations. The illustrations are exceptionally helpfully and clear and the information about the points uses and functions are taken from many sources, primary and secondary, and espouse the reader to different historical trends and aproches in Chinese medicine not be limited to one or two ways of thinking. In my opinion, this book should be a must book for all students of Chinese medicine. If they want to be taken seriously, this is one of the books that they should start with.

I'm working through Spivak's Calculus book which proved the following:
$$\lim_{x \to a}\ (f+g)(x) = \lim_{x \to a}\ f(x) + \lim_{x \to a}\ g(x)$$ $$\lim_{x \to a} \ (f \cdot g)(x) = \lim_{x \to a}\ f(x) \cdot \lim_{x \to a}\ g(x)$$ $$\lim_{x \to a} \ \Bigg( \frac{1}{g} \Bigg) (x) = \frac{1}{\lim \limits_{x \to a} \ g(x)}$$
However, the proof that $$\lim_{x \to a}[f(x)^\alpha] = \left[\lim_{x \to a}f(x) \right]^\alpha$$ where $\alpha$ is a real number is missing.
It's easy to prove from the above properties when $\alpha$ is an integer, but what about otherwise? I've looked online and only found proofs when it is an integer.

News Releases
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Angela Houston recently received the $5,000 Fishman Entrepreneur Award to help launch her business, Visionality Consulting. Houston, from Mexico, Mo., received the startup funding by winning the 2013 Columbia College Pitch Competition. Reminiscent of the ABC program Shark Tank, six Columbia College students pitched their business plans to a panel of entrepreneurs in hopes of securing startup funding.
"I'm truly honored to receive this award," said Houston, a junior at Columbia College. "This scholarship brings me closer to realizing an idea that I'm very passionate about, and I'm fortunate to be surrounded by great people."
Houston is pursuing a business administration degree with majors in management and marketing. Houston's business plan involves providing consultative services to major brands that target a young audience, with an overall goal of increasing efficiency and growth for the organization.
Founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., Columbia College has been helping students advance their lives through higher education for more than 160 years. As a private, nonprofit, liberal arts and sciences institution, the college takes pride in its small classes, experienced faculty and quality educational programs. With more than 30 campuses across the country, 18 of which are on military installations, students may enroll in day, evening or online classes. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Columbia College educates more than 30,000 students each year and has more than 74,000 alumni worldwide. For more information, visit www.ccis.edu.

I have three proxy servers in my college, all of them are connected to three different service providers. At different instant of time, different proxies give different speed (depending the number of users using that proxy at that instant of time). I feel that changing the proxy server configuration in browser(or at any other network appl.) at different instant of time are very time-consuming. I want to write one script which can change the proxy server used by all of my network applications at different instant of time dynamically by doing some kind of test.
I am not able to start with it. Can somebody please give me some idea so that I can implement it.

Let $M$ be a smooth scheme over some field $k$ of characteristic $p$, and $\vec X$ a vector field on it. Equivalently, $\vec X$ gives a map $Spec\ k[\epsilon]/\langle \epsilon^2 \rangle \times M \to M$ whose reduction is the identity map $(Spec\ k,m) \mapsto m$. Let $D_n = Spec\ k[\epsilon]/\langle \epsilon^n \rangle$, and $D_\infty = Spec\ k[[\epsilon]]$ be the inverse limit, thought of as the additive formal group.
What are the obstructions in extending this map $D_2 \times M \to M$ to a formal group action $D_\infty \times M \to M\ ?$ How unique is such an extension?
Motivation: I'm annoyed by the fact that a function on ${\mathbb A}^1_k$ with first derivative zero, i.e. invariant under the $D_2$-action, need not be constant (it could be a $p$th power). When I asked in Replacement for derivations in characteristic p? for the right condition to replace it, I was told to take all Hasse derivatives, which I am reinterpreting as having a $D_\infty$- not just $D_2$-action. (I prefer the formal group action to the group action, because it restricts to open sets.)

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about iRobot Advanced Power System (APS) 3000 mAh NiMH Battery:
After reading comments here I looked for a better solution. There is one which gets good reviews from purchasers (which I ordered) but can't provide a link here without violating posting policy. Use Google with "roomba battery replacement" and take the second or 6th link.I need replacement batteries so I can keep using my Roomba(s) and not have to go to a competitor. I like Roobma vacuums and own 4 (have owned 8 of these "expensive units", 4 others are in the scrap heap)The problem isn't the battery, it's iRobot hasn't spent enough development time on the battery charging/maintenance system, and the Roomba product burns out good batteries in about a year. iRobot could remedy this if they'd spend the engineering development time to fix their battery charging/maintenance design.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Poor battery life
By yellohappydog
from Washington State
I have had two roomba's which I loved but I will not buy another one. The batteries don't last and are to expensive to keep replacing them. After all these years and after all the poor reviews on battery life I would think I robot would have fixed this problem by now. I used to recommend roomba but I won't anymore.

Sharapova's Master Plan To Beat Serena
Feverishly Analyzing Video of the World No. 1
Wimbledon, England
When Maria Sharapova plays her second-round match at Wimbledon this week, people will marvel at her power, gawk at her good looks and perhaps crack a few jokes about her shrieks. But they'll ignore the real Sharapova entirely.
Of all the women on the tour today, none has done more to adapt to the sport's evolution, and her own physical gifts and liabilities, than Sharapova.
There was the unexpected growth spurt and the need to add muscle to her lean frame, which cost her some speed. And the shoulder surgery that forced her to retool her serve, which robbed her of an essential weapon for several years. As tennis shifted from the power era of Venus and Serena Williams and Lindsay Davenport, to the über-athlete era of Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters, and finally to today's game, where spin and depth are increasingly blended with power, Sharapova has adjusted her approach to keep pace.
"Everyone thinks Maria is just a ball basher, but I don't care who you are, you don't have the career she's had by just hitting the ball and not thinking," said Michael Joyce, her former coach.
In the last few months, Sharapova has hired a video-analysis expert to help her solve the enduring riddle that is Serena Williams, who has beaten her 13 straight times since 2005, most recently in the French Open final. It's an investment in technology that few top tennis players have made, despite advances in the field.
"She still has a mission to beat Serena," said Thomas Högstedt, her current coach, after the French Open final. "She knows what she has to do, but she still has to believe a little bit more in it."
Sharapova's rivalry with Williams picked up intensity last week, after a Rolling Stone article quoted Williams talking critically about a top-five player and her boyfriend, a couple the article's writer guessed was Sharapova and Grigor Dimitrov. In a pre-Wimbledon news conference, Sharapova responded with comments on Williams's presumed relationship with her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. Sharapova declined to speak further about the spat after her first-round victory Monday. "I've said everything that I wanted to say about the issue," she said.
Before the French Open, Craig O'Shannessy, a coach based in Austin, prepared video clips and a report on Williams for Sharapova's camp, at its request, he said. After the French Open final, he followed up with more clips and analysis. "The game evolves, opponents evolve and the game plan must evolve," O'Shannessy said.
O'Shannessy's videos show patterns that work—and fail—against Williams. He calls the open court "an illusion," because Williams excels at being aggressive while moving to the open court. The solution: Hit behind Williams as often as possible, forcing her to move in one direction, reset her feet, and then go back in the other direction.
Opponents look to attack Williams's forehand crosscourt, since that's where she makes most of her errors. Still, Sharapova too often takes risks down the line, O'Shannessy said, especially from defensive positions. And she hits too many backhands from the middle of the court, when she has time to sidestep and hit forehands.
This isn't the first time Sharapova has relied on video. At the 2006 U.S. Open, she went into the final against Justine Henin having lost their last four matches, including their semifinal at that year's Australian Open. Joyce's father, a former photography director for television shows such as "Little House on the Prairie" and "CHiPs," scoured Henin video to suggest tactics for Sharapova.
"Henin had extreme grips," Joyce said. "My dad said, 'If Maria can hit down the middle and make her switch grips as often as possible, she'll get more errors.'" Sharapova won, 6-4, 6-4.
While Williams poses a bigger challenge than Henin, Sharapova's toughest opponent has been her own body. When she beat Williams in the 2004 Wimbledon final, the 17-year-old Sharapova wasn't as tall, and she was rail thin. "She was a little girl," Joyce said.
She was more aggressive than Williams, too, and had a stronger serve. Sharapova's second serve averaged 97 miles per hour in that match, compared to 86 mph for Williams. She slugged second serves and won 71% of those points, and she hit startling winners on the run. Sharapova is now taller, and heavier by necessity: It takes muscle to stay healthy and maintain power. She can't hit on the run quite as well.
"I don't think she's every going to defend as well as she did when she was 17 or 18, because her body won't allow it," Joyce said.
The same goes for her serve. Back then, Sharapova had a lower toss and a more violent motion with a deeper knee bend; she didn't hit up and out on the ball, as the best servers do. She just attacked it straight on, which put stress on her shoulder. Her current serve is modeled on the "shoulder over shoulder" technique that has spared many shoulders from injuries. But she doesn't hit it with as much abandon since she had surgery in 2008.
Since Sharapova began working with Högstedt, she has improved her footwork and fitness, and worked on taking control of points as soon as possible so there's less running to do.
"The women's game has improved extremely in the last two years—not many realize," Hogstedt said, citing the general pace and intensity of rallies. "The one who controls the first shot almost all the time wins the point."
Right now, that woman is Williams, but don't bet that Sharapova can't adapt. She has been doing it for years.

Other symptoms may include hearing loss, tooth decay, and eye and bone abnormalities.[2] Cockayne syndrome type 1 (type A) is sometimes called "classic" or "moderate" Cockayne syndrome and is diagnosed during early childhood. Cockayne syndrome type 2 (type B) is sometimes referred to as the "severe" or "early-onset" type.[3] This more severe form presents with growth and developmental abnormalities at birth.[2] The third type, Cockayne syndrome type 3 (type C) is a milder form of the disorder. Cockayne syndrome is caused by mutations in either the ERCC8 (CSA) or ERCC6 (CSB) genes and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.[2] The typical lifespan for individuals with Cockayne syndrome type 1 is ten to twenty years. Individuals with type 2 usually do not survive past childhood. Those with type 3 live into middle adulthood.[1]Cockayne syndrome is a rare condition which causes short stature, premature aging (

Portland, New York, Seattle: A tour of our favourite TV cities
Ferry rides with McDreamy, coffee with Castle and microbrewed beer with Monroe.
Each week at CTV.ca, we get more invested in the lives of our favourite TV characters. And while we follow the intricacies of their lives, we've also found ourselves falling in love with the places they inhabit.
From Seattle to Portland, New York City to Dallas, we're banking our vacation days for a CTV.ca travel tour of our favourite TV cities. Here's hoping we run into Dr. McDreamy over a drink at Joe's (that place is real, right?).
Seattle, Washington
Rain, giant sinkholes and lions wandering the streets aside, we've fallen in love with Seattle over the last eight seasons of "Grey's Anatomy."
Not only is it the home of McDreamy AND McSteamy, the medical drama makes the city look like a constantly buzzing place in and out of Seattle Grace.
Our to-do list of places to visit? Going to the top of the iconic Space Needle that is often silhouetted in the sunrise and sunset and taking a ferry ride across Puget Sound (just like Derek, we might just have a thing for ferries).
And while we're there, we're hoping Derek and Meredith might even have a couple of spare rooms in their almost-built new house.
Portland, Oregon
And while we're out on the West Coast, we figure we can head a bit further south to Portland, Oregon, home of Detective Nick Burckhardt and our favourite reformed blutbad Monroe of "Grimm."
Though we could do without the Hexenbiests and Daemonfeuers, we have found ourselves quite smitten with the lushness of the forests and the running trails (though we will make sure not to wear red hoodies while doing so…anyone who watched the first episode will know what we're talking about!)
In between morning coffees and evening microbrewed beers, we're hoping to brush up on our Pilates mat work with Monroe.
But we definitely won't be visiting Whispering Pines, the super creepy resort where Nick tried to propose to Juliette…
New York City, NY
New York City is one of our favourite places to visit with or without TV, and this city love affair is only furthered by shows like "Castle," "Unforgettable" and "Smash."
We're looking forward to reveling in the lights of Broadway and hopefully running into Karen or Ivy from "Smash," or helping Carrie Wells from "Unforgettable" remember something else from a crime scene, preferably on a sunny day in Central Park.
And at least one of us (Lindsay) is hoping to spend an afternoon wandering about the East Village with a certain crime writer (ahem, Rick Castle, puh-lease?!)
Dallas, Texas
Not only are we throwing in scrubs, raincoats and little black dresses for our trip, we're also going to pack rhinestone studded cowboy boots and our Sunday best for our next stop: Dallas, Texas, home to the ladies of "GCB."
And since everything's bigger in Texas, we also have to remember to pack our push up bras and a whole lot of hairspray. While we're there, we're planning on getting beer and wings at the local haunt Boobylicious (we hope Amanda is our server!).
Vancouver, BC
But before we head back to Toronto, we're going to make a stop in Storybrooke (we mean Vancouver), to hang out with the fairy tale characters in "Once Upon a Time."
We'll kick off our stay with pie and coffee at Granny's restaurant and antique hunting at Mr. Gold's pawn shop before retiring for the night at the B&B….
If there's any time left, we're hoping to stroll down to the famous bridge where Mary Margaret and David had their secret rendezvous and hopefully find the now departed hot Huntsman to take us on a horse ride straight from fairy tale land.
Toronto, ON
We won't have to go far to see some of the familiar sights showcased in shows like "The Listener," "Flashpoint" and CTV's newest medical series, "Saving Hope" – all filmed in our home base of Toronto.
There's something so satisfying about seeing aerial shots of the CN Tower as Team One from "Flashpoint" heads to a hot call and their jokes about going for rotis in the west end make our stomachs start to growl.
We often walk by the building where Toby from "The Listener" lives (a popular restaurant on Queen Street near our office) and our hearts skip a beat when we recognize the corner store where Toby and Oz have driven past in the ambulance.
We've also been lucky to get a sneak peek of "Saving Hope" and were excited to see the streets of Toronto out in full force.
Across the pond…
And if we're not completely exhausted from all these travels, we're hoping to board an international flight to some of the cities featured in "Missing," including Rome, Paris, London and Istanbul (with many more to come as we're only a few episodes in!).

The context of the two terms is generally different.
Self referencing is in the context of data -- you have a data type that contains a reference to something of the same type.
Rerusive is in the context of code -- you have a function or procedure that calls itself.
Here's a recursive function (in C):
Those two calls to
Here's a self-referential data structure:
The first element,
Now you've got a different kind of self-reference -- it's not just the definition of
Recursions, mostly useful ones, are expected to terminate after certain number of procedures in a sense that there is some initial value. unless you have a bad recursion that is useless.
Self References, are by themselves not exactly recursions but can be shown to have recursion in which case they generally never terminate.
Recursion implies action.
Technically, recursion should have an exit state but it's not a requirement.
Self-reference implies structure.
Ex. An instance method referencing the object it's attached to.
Recursion requires something to process via calling the same process (often with different parameters). Even though you're often using functions and those functions call themselves, they technically enter a new step that just happens to look like the place they just came from.
Self-Reference means that something refers to itself. Classes can be self-referential by using
