WHEELING - The Artisan Center's windows are slated to receive a facelift - the first since the building was renovated in 1995.
Bekah Karelis, historian with the Wheeling National Heritage Area Corp., which owns the building, said the wooden windows are not original to the building but are starting to show their age. The group is seeking bids for the project that involves 46 windows on the second and third floors of the building located at 1400 Main St. Work on the first-floor windows occurred last year.
"They've become deteriorated in spots. They don't need a complete overhaul. ... There are some issues with the glazing, which is what holds the glass in place," Karelis said. "They all need to be reglazed and all taken out and examined to see if the wood has deteriorated."
Bids are being taken until Feb. 25, and the work is expected to be completed by June 15.
Karelis said the windows need to be functional, as sometimes they are opened by WNHAC officials and by people attending weddings on the third floor. For example, during the Celtic Celebration the windows are sometimes opened to let out heat created by the high number of attendees.
"We can't let it go - the sills go pretty quickly and the sashes,'' she said.
Karelis said the corporation is not sure how much the project could cost, but the money will be taken from its general maintenance fund.
Some other downtown structures have received window work lately. At the Capitol Theatre, building preservation students with Belmont College recently finished a project to restore three original wood windows in the ballroom. And as renovation work continues on the Riley Building on 16th Street, passersby may have noticed new, white windows being installed on multiple floors of the structure.

Hand Over My Heart

Stand My Ground
Day & Night
Free Dimensional retains the melodicism, clever juxtapositions, and lyrical honesty that garnered kudos for Diamond Rings' 2010 debut, Special Affections. What's different this time around is how the songs were conceived and produced. "I wanted the first album to have that homespun quality," John O explains. Back then, he was wary of too many high-tech bells and whistles. "A big part of being afraid of something is not understanding it," he admits. "Once I became more comfortable with the medium of electronic music, it was only natural to want to improve."
The success of Special Affections had afforded Diamond Rings some amazing opportunities, like supporting Swedish pop star Robyn on her 2011 North American tour, which in turn fed John O's desire to step up his game. "Spending a month on the road with her was mind-blowing. I learned a great deal about what it takes to make music that has a lot of impact. That was a big part of this whole experience: coming to terms with the fact that I wanted to make something direct and impactful, and that I could trust other people to help me do it, but at the end of the day it would still feel like me." Hence John O's decision to enlist producer Damian Taylor (Björk, Austra, Robyn, The Prodigy) to help bring Diamond Rings out of the bedroom, both literally and figuratively, on Free Dimensional.
Taylor was already a fan, impressed as soon as he heard Diamond Rings' debut single "All Yr Songs" back in 2009. "I immediately recognized a strong element of a 'classic' songwriting approach, but was hooked by the fact that he went absolutely contrary to the regular strategy of trying to make his music sound classic, which to me is a recipe for making bland, uninteresting drivel," says the producer. "Instead, John O turned the whole thing on its head, with a healthy sense of humor, while keeping his music honest and emotionally resonant." Taylor's mission was to retain all those special qualities, while showing John O how judicious use of production tools could actually heighten the ability to connect with listeners.
To mark the announcement of his 2013 Runaway Love Tour, Diamond Rings is kicking it elementary school and offering up a baker's dozen of oversized Valentines in the form of his limited-edition heavy-weight silkscreen posters. Thirteen lucky winners across Canada will receive a signed and personalized Diamond Rings Free Dimensional poster.
To enter the contest, fans are invited to tweet their favourite love-related Diamond Rings lyric (bonus points for a rhyming couplet!) @diamondrings with the hashtag #runawaylove. Winners will be choo-choo-chosen by John O himself, and posters will be post-marked on Valentine's Day, set to arrive before the start of the Runaway Love tour.

Going into this record was there any overarching thing that you specifically wanted to do differently from Special Affections?
Yeah, I knew that I wanted it to be a step up, sonically. I had this real epiphany moment when my creative director Lisa and I went to see Katy Perry in Toronto, at the hockey arena where she was playing last summer. And somehow "All Yr Songs," one of my first tracks, made it onto the playlist that they were playing before her set. And that was really cool, on the one hand, hearing it in that context, this bedroom, lo-fi recording being played in this big hockey arena. But on the other hand it sort of showed how different what I was doing sounded from everything else that was from, let's face it, what a large percentage of the population is really into. I think as a pop artist, or one that strives to be a pop artist, ultimately I want to connect with people, as many people as I can. So I knew that I wanted songs to kind of speak that more populist language, sonically. I didn't really change my approach lyrically or emotionally. I feel like they're still conveying the same message, but just coated in a way that has a few more layers of gloss. It's like we spent a two more hours waxing the car.
That we have here an exercise in eclectic modern pop rather than pure synth recreationism is evidenced in the crunchy guitar lines of "Runaway Love" — or the unexpected rap interludes (which listeners will find divisive). This fuck-you assertiveness (even in the absence of the "fuck") proclaims a defiance that chimes with the mainstream pop paradigm (if also nodding to O's characteristic play across a range of gendered stereotypes). It's a mood that replaces Special Affections' dark-edged tint — and, as a further nod to pop's now-characteristic biographical qualities, closer "Day and Night" is a customary narrative of the travails of touring.
C'était il y a six semaines, avant la sortie de son deuxième disque, Free Dimensional, survenue lundi dernier. À l'image du premier extrait, I'm Just Me, c'est un album plus pop que son prédécesseur qui regorge de confiance. Avec la voix grave de John O'Regan, les chansons dansantes se démarquent par une belle noirceur new-wave et par des textes de type «journal intime». «Cet album respire quelque chose de direct et de la confiance, explique-t-il. Je voulais avoir le son le plus fantastique qui soit. Depuis deux ans, je suis fasciné par la musique pop et je voulais un son plus poli.»
Diamond Rings has evolved past its '80s glam-pop melodies into a new era of electronic music that's still shimmering with boisterous pop, but introduces new dimensions into its already packed bag of tricks, including a rap verse or two. In many cases, that wouldn't work, but in O'Regan's anything-is-possible, self-esteem-touting universe, he can do whatever he wants and we will happily sing and dance along.
It would be somewhat dismissive and insulting to refer to the new album from Canadian synth hero Diamond Rings (a.k.a. John O'Regan) as merely retro. Sure, it is. It really is. Anyone who grew up in the '80s or has an affinity for the music of the time can't help but listen and hear that past, the dark wave, the cold wave, the new wave, the old wave. Can't help but hear Howard Jones, Clan of Xymox, Depeche Mode, Leisure Process, Sique Sique Sputnik, Dead Or Alive, etc. Can't help but be won over, seduced and satisfied. It's stylish. It's sexy. It's voluptuous. It's superb. And it's also incredibly of now. Right now. Today. It's the musical equivalent of watching Drive, something that's so obviously anchored in the past -- the fashion, the pastels, the bright lights -- but so entirely in the present. And something that transcends merely that nostalgic yearning for what came before. The delivery, the presentation: Excellent. The songs: Incredible and lasting and substantive. It's impossible not to want to return to tracks such as "Runaway Love," "I'm Just Me," "A to Z," "Stand My Ground" and, probably most notably, "Day & Night." It's impossible to hear Free Dimensional and be struck by all of it and, especially, that vision that wraps it up and brings it all together. In a retro, futuristic, contemporary kind of way.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
-- Mike Bell, Postmedia News
Diamond Rings' highly anticipated sophomore album Free Dimensional is out today. Free Dimensional is available now on iTunes, across fine record stores across the country, and on CD and LP directly from us.
Today also marks the premiere of the brand new video for Runaway Love, directed by Sébastien Landry and Baz. The video was shot an hour outside Montreal back in September..
With striking visuals that match the synth-pop hooks of his music, one-man act Diamond Rings (aka, John O'Regan) - who echoes vintage Depeche Mode - is prepping the release of his second album, Free Dimensional (due Oct. 22). Diamond Rings' current single, "I'm Just Me," is percolating under the Dance Club Songs chart and is certain to be featured when his tour with Stars starts on Sept. 20. His solo tour launches on Oct. 14.
Arguably Canada's most stylish pop dynamo, John O of Diamond Rings has the attitude of Grace Jones, the voice of Joy Division's Ian Curtis and the look of a My Little Pony. His Special Affections debut of 2010 became an unexpected hit, due in no small part to "All Yr Songs," a bashful, sing-songy synth love note.

Pancreatic Cancer and Family History
Last Modified: May 8, 2012
I've heard that pancreatic cancer is rare. If that is true, what are the odds that I would have two relatives who both passed away from this disease?
Ursina Teitelbaum, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn Medicine responds:
Pancreas cancer is not among the most common cancers (breast, lung, prostate, and colon) but it is among the most morbid so people hear a lot about it in the news and from friends. There are 30,000 cases diagnosed yearly in the United States.
Pancreas cancer is a disease of aging so as the population is getting older; we are diagnosing it more frequently and expect to see more cases. Two thirds of pancreatic cancer cases are diagnosed in patients that are 65 and older. It can also be weakly associated with tobacco usage.
There are familiar pancreatic cancer syndromes but these patients tend to be in their 20s and 30s. There are also increased incidences in families with Lynch syndrome or BRCA so it is important to know your family history, particularly of other GI cancers or breast cancer.
Often though, if your family members are older, there may not be an increased risk to you.

How to Evaluate Commercial Kitchens for Your Food Truck
As a food truck owner, you need to spend time in the prospective facility with a culinary consultant or your staff before you sign a contract with a commercial kitchen. Having multiple sets of hands and eyes on the equipment and layout is helpful in determining the pros and cons of each kitchen you investigate.
Foremost, make sure the kitchen has the equipment you need and plenty of space for your staff to work.
No matter what kind of kitchen you find in your area, make sure it's been approved or certified by your local health and building departments. In almost all municipalities in the country, if your kitchen doesn't have proper certification, your truck can't be approved for permits. To verify that a kitchen has been certified, ask to see its license. Kitchens are required to place their license in open view.
Take inventory of commercial kitchens
Although the equipment in commercial kitchens may vary somewhat, most kitchens are equipped with the following standard items:
For prep work:
Can openers
Cutting boards
Dough rollers
Food blenders
Food processors
Knife sharpeners, steels, stones, and gloves
Meat grinders
Meat saws
Mixers (countertop and handheld)
Slicers and vegetable cutters
For cooking:
Broilers, salamanders, and cheese melters
Commercial ovens
Crêpe makers
Flash bake ovens
Griddle-tops, hot plates, and sandwich grills
Infrared cooktops
Panini grills
Pasta cookers
Pizza and deck ovens
Rice cookers
For frying:
Fry baskets
Fryer station
Oil filtration and shortening disposal units
For holding/warming:
Countertop food warmer
Hold oven
Holding cabinet
For refrigeration:
Ice machines
Walk-in refrigerator and freezer
Be sure to verify that the following supplies, which may or may not be provided, are available if you know you'll need them:
Frypans and saucepans
Ladles, whisks, tongs, spatulas, and utensils
Oven mitts and handle holders
Pastry bags
Pie, cake, and baking pans
If you find a commercial kitchen that suits almost all your needs but is missing a single piece of equipment you need to prepare your food, speak with the owners of the facility. Most kitchens allow you to bring in additional pieces of equipment if needed.
Just make sure the kitchen provides adequate and secure storage for any equipment you supply so you can leave it there. You don't want to lug large or otherwise cumbersome items in and out of the kitchen every day.
Check out commercial kitchens' layouts
When conducting a search for a commercial kitchen, keep in mind that a well-designed kitchen will increase your profits by reducing the amount of kitchen labor required to prepare your food. If your staff knows where everything is located and doesn't have to run back and forth between stations, prep and cooking times in the kitchen will be more efficient.
Commercial kitchens lay out their equipment in many different ways. There's no set rule on the configuration style that will work best for your business, but knowing about the following two basic methods of equipment grouping can help you make an educated decision:
Assembly-line: The assembly-line design is ideal for a food business that produces large quantities of the same type of food, such as tamales, pizzas, or sandwiches. In an assembly-line configuration, the kitchen is laid out according to the order of use, and the pieces of equipment are generally set up in a line.
Zone-style: In a zone-style layout, the kitchen is divided into different blocks. Generally, you have a block for food preparation, a block for cooking, a block for refrigeration, and a block for sanitation and cleaning. The zone-style configuration works well for food trucks that have many types of food on the menu. This layout allows you to prepare in one area while already-prepared food is cooked in another area.
Both assembly-line and zone-style kitchen configurations can be (and, if possible, should be) ergonomic. An ergonomic configuration represents the ideal kitchen in many ways. Ergonomic spaces tend to be well thought out and designed for maximum labor efficiency.
This layout means your kitchen staff spends more time producing your products and less time walking back and forth to prepare the food and clean. Ergonomics operates on the theory that the fewer steps and moves your employees need to make to complete a task, the better. Ergonomics can also help reduce injuries and fatigue.
Don't worry if you can't find your dream kitchen; finding the perfect kitchen layout can be difficult. You may have to go with a suitable kitchen that can fit you in during the hours you need.
Determine the size of commercial kitchen you need
Commercial kitchens' sizes range greatly, and the needs of each food truck owner differ just as much. The average commercial kitchen is roughly 2,000 square feet. The general rule in kitchen design is that for every person you serve, you need 15 square feet of kitchen space.
When you're investigating commercial kitchens for your use, instead of going into a kitchen with a specific size in mind, look at a kitchen to see whether it will meet your specific needs. A commercial kitchen should do the following:
Provide storage space for raw materials.
Provide space for food being prepared.
Provide adequate storage for your equipment, cookware, and cutlery.
Provide enough space for safe movement of staff.
Provide an area for checking in stock.
Figure the kitchen's proximity to your food truck's territory
Just as important as the locations you choose to operate your truck from, the location of your commercial kitchen plays a similarly significant role. You don't want to spend a lot of time driving back and forth between your stops and your commercial kitchen between shifts.
If at all possible, try to keep your kitchen within 15 to 20 minutes from the majority of your stops. The more time you spend on the road traveling, the less time you'll be able to spend selling your products or doing tasks in your kitchen or office.

Is 'Homeland' Better Than Football?
VERY IMPORTANT, SEVERE WARNING: The following sports column actually contains potential spoilers for people who are not fully caught up on Season 2 of the television series "Homeland." It also contains potential spoilers for the 2012 NFL season, like the SAN DIEGO CHARGERS ARE UNDEFEATED AND SUPER BOWL-BOUND. Or something like that. Consider yourself warned. And spoiled.
The New England Patriots host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, and this is a big football game, perhaps the biggest big football game since last Monday, when the Patriots played Houston in what was expected to be the biggest big football game of the season, but wasn't big at all, or really even football, because the Texans walked out on the field and took a long, placid nap.
But we all know what the most important television event will be Sunday night:
The "Homeland" finale.
I am going to assume if you're still reading this, you are watching "Homeland." If you are not watching "Homeland," I do not want to spoil it for you by revealing anything about the plot. Really: You don't want to know a single thing. I'll just give you a very skeletal outline of the show: "Homeland" is a situation comedy about the high jinks occurring at a small FM radio station in Cincinnati in the late 1970s and early 1980s. OK, I already feel I've revealed too much. Now get yourself to an iPad and catch up.
I held out on "Homeland" for a long time. I didn't have any particular objection. I just watch too much sports on TV. Especially if you watch a lot of Jets football, you develop a mistrustful relationship with your television; bad things always happen when you turn it on. But it was impossible to miss the popular enthusiasm for the Showtime series. I began to find myself in social situations in which people would realize they all watched the show, and they'd shout "ZOMGHOMELAND-BESTSHOWEVER" and break away in a little lunar module of communal pop culture. Over time, that lunar module got larger and larger, and it became clear I was on the barren outside of something big. So one day this autumn, I broke down and watched the pilot episode. Then immediately watched another. And another. You know how this goes. It's like seeing someone attack a bag of sour-cream-and-onion chips after a bad day at work. I could not stop. I think I watched the first season in two days. You may think this is pathetic. I do not. I was ready to re-enter society, get back into the cultural slipstream.
There's no equivalent to this in sports. You either experience the game in real time, or you don't. Let me be the five-millionth person to testify that you can't DVR a sporting event. You just can't. I mean, you can actually DVR it, and I have, but no matter how successfully you block out spoilers on Twitter and text messages and persuade yourself you are going to watch this prerecorded sporting event all the way through, it's only a few minutes before you are fast-forwarding through not just the commercials, but the first quarter, and then the second quarter, and then anything that looks pretty boring, and then fast-forwarding all the way to the final two minutes of the game, which you only watch if the score is close. This is what everyone does. The whole appeal of sports on TV is the moment. There's no catching up on Netflix.
"Homeland" is not live. (At least I don't think so—and wow, that would just change everything.) It's not fast-forward-able. You have to watch the whole thing A to Z—and pay attention!—or none of it makes sense. Even if you can watch it A to Z, it still might not make sense. I guess it's OK at this point in the story to lay out some basics of the story. It's about a decorated prisoner of war and a CIA mission to stop a terrorist plot on U.S. soil. But it's not really about that. "Homeland" is a hall of mirrors. Its appeal is its murkiness—every week, the truth gets a little more slippery. Nobody is exactly whom they appear to be. It is also a little loopy. There's sex. There's jazz. There's prescription drugs. There's Claire Danes. There's also Mandy Patinkin, who is the best thing in it. Seriously, if anything happened to Mandy Patinkin on "Homeland," it would be like the Yankees trading Derek Jeter to the Jets.
"Homeland" will drive you a little batty. It can be exhausting, sorting through its layers of intrigue and accusation. Duplicity's common. Everyone's suspicious, and "good" can be a hallucination. After a while, you have no idea who to believe. It's like the Red Sox under Bobby Valentine.
But that's exactly the attraction. Sports is consumed with facts and the end result—who wins; the inarguable case for who's the best; a clear and obvious solution. The nebulous world of "Homeland" cannot be distilled into a 30-second debate. It's gray, frustrating, messy, seductive. I can't wait until Sunday. But I suspect there won't be a final score.

I'm making a business card in Photoshop and it needs to be in CMYK mode. Now, I'm using a logo on it that I previously made for the client in RGB mode and when I put it into the CMYK mode business card design it desaturates it a little. I'm trying to get my head around whether or not it will print how it looks on my screen (ie desaturated) or how it looks when it's in RGB mode? Because, the colours aren't accurate in CMYK mode so if that's exactly how it will look when printed I will need to adjust the colours to look like they do in RGB mode. Sorry if that doesn't make sense - usually I only design logos and I've never run into this problem before.
Firstly, when you change color modes, you should use Photoshop's
Secondly, the reason people do print designs in CMYK is precisely because it allows them to work in the same color space as the printed result. However, you still need to have 2 things for truly accurate color reproduction:
If you can get the ICC profile from your printer, then you can go to
Though, to be safe, you should also try to get a hard proof or contract proof to make sure things turn out exactly the way you want, especially if it's a large print job for something as important as a business card.
Note: Some printing services prefer that all files are kept in RGB. For instance, Blurb—the self-publishing service—requires all images and print files to be sent in RGB format. Perhaps this is because they also create e-books, or perhaps it's to simplify the process for end-users, but that's how they do things. And the ICC profile they provide for soft-proofing is an sRGB profile.

In D&D 3.5 how do you calculate the Encounter Level of an encounter when the encounter involves elements (usually enemies) of multiple CRs?
For example an encounter involves
- 4 Zombies (CR1/2)
- 2 Ghouls (CR1)
- 1 Ghast (CR3)
What would the CR be?
In D&D 3.5 how do you calculate the Encounter Level of an encounter when the encounter involves elements (usually enemies) of multiple CRs?
For example an encounter involves
What would the CR be?
Rmorrisey's formula is correct, but to simplify: here's a rule of thumb: Doubles bump the EL by +2.
2 of any single monster is the same as the Base CR +2. Two CR1 monsters (the ghouls) is an EL3. (1+2=3)
The EL 3 ghouls and the CR 3 ghast are doubles, and thus an EL 5. (3+2=5)
4 CR1/2 zombies is not quite big enough to make an EL 5 (which would make this a 7, according to the double-bump principle), so it's a 6, more or less. Bigger than a 5, not quite a 7.
Here's a sideways trick you can use too: Class levels bump a full CR per level. NPC classes bump a 1/2 CR per level. As far as this formula is concerned, half CR's don't really count for much. Thus you can usually layer a single level of warrior or expert or acolyte (+1d8 hd and a +1 BAB) onto just about anything without really pushing the margin.
Edit: Here is how XP is done in D&D 3.5 (DMG pp. 36-38). It's actually much simpler.
For fractional CR creatures, use CR 1, and divide the result by 2.
Summoned creatures don't count.
Edit: Below is the way it's done in D&D 3.0.
The DMG pp. 101 says,
I think this link can be useful 'cause it calculates the EL and the XP/PC. I can say that for me the only problem with the d20 calculator is that it overestimates the difficulty for the party cause I don't think that the encounter of the ghouls&Co (EL6 for the calculator) is a very difficult challenge for a party of 4 4th lvl PC XD. However the GM can adjust the XP of any encounter how he/she thinks it's better.
I don't have a nice formula like RMorrisey does, but I found this page which does the heavy lifting for you. It's not fool-proof, but I fed the bad guys you provided into the engine, and it came back with EL 6. You can also input the PCs and their levels to see an estimation of how their level and the bad guys compare. I used it extensively in the current campaign I'm running (and will DM the finale in our next session).
Two encounters of CR X = 1 of CR X+2
4 zombies (cr0.5)= 2x CR2 = 1 CR4
but it's a soft CR6...
Any time you stage up multiple different beasties, they only match the calculation when they are used to proper effect.
It's often better to simply add the appropriate XP for each type of creature. In which case, use a CR 4, and two CR3's...

Can anyone prove that a Weyl Algebra is not isomorphic to a matrix ring over a division ring?
Notation: The Weyl algebra is $$k[x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n, \partial_1, \partial_2, \ldots, \partial_n]$$ with the obvious relations.
The Weyl algebra doesn't contain any division rings larger than $k$, and it is infinite dimensional over $k$. So, assuming you don't allow infinite matrices, that's a proof.
How to see that it doesn't contain any division ring larger than $k$? I just need to show that any nonconstant differential operator is not invertible. One way to see this is to notice that multiplying differential operators multiplies symbols, and the symbol of a nonconstant differential operator is a nonconstant polynomial.
A different proof would be to show that a Weyl algebra is not semisimple, that is, that it is not a direct sum of simple submodules as a left module over itself. However, note that there is an infinite descending chain of left submodules of a Weyl algebra given by $A_n\supseteq A_nd\supseteq A_nd^2\supseteq A_nd^3\supseteq...$ where $d$ is any non-invertible element. A direct sum of a finite number of simple modules can't have an infinite descending chain of submodules. Then, by the converse of Artin-Wedderburn, $A_n$ is not a direct sum of matrix algebras over a divsion ring.
Of course, showing this sequence of submodules never stabilizes can be done by looking at the associated graded algebra, and noting that the $\overline{A_nd^n}$ are always distinct there. However, then this answer starts getting closer to David's answer, so maybe this wasn't a truly different proof.
I would only like to add a simple proof that the Weyl algebra doesn't even HAVE any (non-trivial) finite-dimensional representations. Already in the case n=1, consider the relations $$[\partial_x,x]=1.$$ Now suppose you had a finite dimensional representation, and take the trace of both sides of the above.
It implies that the identity acts as 0 so the whole representation does.
This is not an answer to the original question. However, it is related and I think that it is worth mentioning.
Assuming that ring morphisms take identity elements to identity elements, we can show the following for the $n$:th Weyl algebra, with very basic methods.
Choose an arbitrary positive integer $n$ and put $A_n := \mathbb{C}\langle x_1,\ldots,x_n,y_1,\ldots,y_n \rangle / I$ where $I$ is the ideal generated by the elements $y_1x_1-x_1y_1-1,\ldots,y_nx_n-x_ny_n-1$ and $x_i x_j-x_jx_i, y_i y_j - y_j y_i$ for $i,j \in 1,\ldots,n$.
$$ \phi : A_n \to M_m(R).$$
Consider the element $y_1x_1-x_1y_1=1$, the image of which, under $\phi$, is equal to
$$ BA-AB=\phi(y_1x_1-x_1y_1)=\phi(1)=I. $$
Hence the matrices $A$ and $B$ have to satisfy $BA-AB=I$. Taking the trace of the left hand side of this equality yields
$$ tr(BA-AB)=tr(BA)-tr(AB)=tr(AB)-tr(AB)=0 $$
whereas the trace of the right hand side is equal to $tr(I)=m$. This is a contradiction.
Corollary of the above proof:
This is easily seen by using the following well-known fact:
This applies to the case $M_m(R)$ with $R=\mathbb{C}$, because $M_m(\mathbb{C})$ is a unital C*-algebra and in particular a unital Banach algebra. So in this particular case, this gives us an alternative way of making the desired conclusion without using the trace.
A matrix ring contains zero-divisors.

Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams comes to mind.
The first chapter of the book claims,
The book approaches sociological or 'political' problems such as team 'jelling', quiet in the work environment, and the high cost of turnover.
Managing Humans, aka the collection of managerial stuff from Rands In Repose, is worth the read, and funny to boot.
A ton of truth concentrated down to its essence.
Rapid Development by Steve McConnell.
The reason I go for this over PeopleWare is that there are a few more things in here you might actually be able to implement as a team leader. When you're a team leader (with the lack of clout that normally comes with) much of PeopleWare is largely aspirational as you're not going to be able to significantly influence working environment, salaries and recruitment and so on.
I guess it depends on whether you're looking for something on development process or on management and leadership though. While I've not read it I like the look of The First 90 Days which someone has recommended. Alternatively I quite like The One Minute Manager though plenty have issues with it (largely that it's told as a story and that it's content is obvious - which I agree with but we frequently miss the obvious so reminding ourselves from time to time is no bad thing and whatever you think of it it is at least very short).
The Mythical Man Month by Fred Brooks has a lot of great what-not-to-dos. That and Peopleware are the two that define software project management.
Read "The first 90 days..".. This book is indespensable..
If you're a new Software Team Leader, I'd recommend:
It is written from the perspective of "I've just been made a team leader - now what?" and has lots of practical scenarios presented in a clear manner. It also has good references within each section so it is useful as an ongoing reference book.
AntiPatterns in Project Management is a wonderful list of ways to do things wrong. It's a great list of things to avoid.
Well, the good ones listed are already pretty popular with most programmers. How about this one: The No Asshole Rule by Bob Sutton.
I would actually argue for Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art or something along those lines. Your management style, while it can be adjusted, is largely set by this time. You can always learn to do things better, faster but your style is really who you are.
Some people are opinionated jerks, others like to scream and yell while other listen and build consensus. If you have been developing for any length of time those personality traits are either pretty much set or fairly visible. You new position is going to require a lot of scheduling: your time and other people's time. To succeed you better get it right (or mostly right).
Your status as a freshly minted Team Leader will be determined by your ability to deliver projects on time.
Your own. Train your leader by a series of discussions and mentoring sessions, and have your trainee keep a private journal of situations, responses, and successes or failures. Essentially, they will write their own book. This exercise is not so much for the book itself or reference- it is to encourage the act of reflection.
Then, after the freshly-minted leader has a grasp of the issues, select some of the great books posted in other posts.
My point is that you should have some experience with leadership and management before you go reading books about them, simply because you won't know enough about the subject matter to really understand, appreciate, and relate to what you've read. For example, you wouldn't advise someone to read Code Complete before they wrote their first line of code, would you? The same applies here. Get your feet wet so you have something to relate to, and then go for the books.

They look sad, like they know.
this is really sad and all we can do is saying this is very sad ...tuna is like the a reflection of the ocean...we have to protect fish , i;ve seen that everywhere in the world a lot of fish is thrown overboard of the fish boats because regulations they are throwing away small fish caught and from other species ...after thrown overboard they die... in the same time 1 billion people are suffering from hunger worldwide...can we do something about these regulations?please can National Geographic make a campaign ion order to change these regulations in the EU and worldwide?!
People just don't blend into their natural environment like wildlife.
people must save these beautiful
lovely fish great shot
Mmm delicious
What a shiny and beautiful fish!
Very nice!
shameful and disgraceful - it's just getting worse ..
The thought of fish in a pen is like seeing animals in zoo's. Yet people eat beef, sheep, goats, etc etc,.. and where these animals are kept in feedlots getting fat for slaughter... Where do you draw the line. The oceans are being fished out and hundred of dolphins and whales get killed in the process, how sad but I suppose that's life - and not much we can do about it. The bluefin trapped with no escape can make a good model - the lighting caught in capture on the fish is excellent and makes for a great photo.
@Sandra Hickman There is something you can do about it. You can reduce your use of animal products as much as possible.
The replacements that are being made for them are often as good or better now. And it is not hard to avoid factory farmed meats either and eat pasture raised livestock instead.
Did anyone besides Joy read the description UNDER the photograph?? Very sad and disgraceful really! Beautiful Blue Fin Tuna.
NO COMMENT ! j.e.s.
Very nice!
congratulations ! Awesome capture!
very nice
captured the depth,color and texture excellently
It is ok, not outstanding.

With spring in the air comes an increase in activity in downtown Bowling Green.
SKyPAC continues to bring in popular shows, while the Hot Rods are less than three weeks away from opening day on April 8.
Some drivers have been confused as to whether the downtown parking garage is open.
Even with construction on the exterior still underway, Mayor Bruce Wilkerson says 800 spaces are available inside.
"With ballgames, SKyPAC and Concerts in the Park we just got a lot going on in Bowling Green and again glad to have you come out, but that's why the parking garage is there," says Mayor Wilkerson.
The parking garage is a joint effort between the city, Warren County and the Downtown Economic Development Authority.
Drivers wanting to use the parking garage are asked to enter using the 8th Avenue entrance.

I'll try to be clear: example: If you send the ISS far enough for it not to undergo the Earth's gravity anymore, then you turn it and the—sleeping—astronauts in it upside down, when they wake up, will they know/feel that they're not the right way up? How?
No they will not. Space is intrinsically isotropic, so assuming they are not aware of any specific reference points, and they are far enough away from a massive body as to experience an insignificant amount of gravity, there would be no way of knowing their orientation. Gravity essentially provides observers with a force field that the body can utilise to establish orientation etc.
Hope this helps.
This question is closely related to the conservation of angular momentum. In both classical and quantum mechanics, angular momentum is conserved when all the dynamics of a system are invariant with respect to infinitesimal rotations. Therefore, as long as we trust that our theories of mechanics are correct, we can test the isotropy of space by doing some experiments and seeing whether angular momentum is conserved. If angular momentum is not conserved in our experiments, then we are in a situation where we can detect rotations.
For example, on the surface of the earth, you can drop a ball and its angular momentum increases as it falls (relative to some axis to the side of the ball's trajectory). This indicates that the system (you + ball) can tell if you've been rotated. However, if we include the Earth itself in the system, angular momentum is again conserved because the Earth (theoretically) picks up equal and opposite angular momentum to the ball as it falls. When we rotate the Earth, you, and the ball all through the same angle, you won't be able to tell. The astronauts will probably find that unless their experiments are extraordinarily sensitive, angular momentum is conserved for the system (astronaut+ship+its fuel+everything in it), so no, the astronauts will not be able to tell they've been rotated. Finally, note that rotating a system through an angle does not refer to giving it an angular velocity. You can tell if you're actively spinning or not. You just can't tell your orientation relative to distant stars.
There technically isn't an 'up' or 'down' - even with the concept of gravity. 'Up' and 'down' are subjective terms that really describe either moving toward or away from a centre of gravity and are dependent on the relative position of the observer.
At the moment, I'm wondering if gravity truely exists in it's own right, or if (as gravity has been described as the warping of space/time), gravity is actually the absence of 'normal' space/time behaviour...

This article is part of PharmTech's supplement "2010 Outsourcing Resources."
Data from the 2010 edition of the PharmSource-Pharmaceutical Technology Outsourcing Survey indicate that, indeed, the worst may be over for contract research, development, and manufacturing organizations (CROs, CDMOs and CMOs). Respondents to this year's survey from both bio/pharmaceutical companies and service providers are more upbeat than they were a year ago, although their optimism remains constrained. Still, the survey suggests that as bio/pharmaceutical companies continue to respond to a harsher and more complex external environment, service providers are likely to face much more competitive market dynamics.2010 somewhat better
Although 46% of bio/pharmaceutical company respondents indicated that external spending is growing at the same rate of total R&D spending, 39% indicated that it is growing more slowly than overall spending. In 2009, only 28% indicated that outsourced spending was growing more slowly than total spending. The slowing of outsourced spending is not surprising, however, considering that the first reaction of most company executives is to preserve existing positions and avoid layoffs. Large staff reductions and wholesale changes in spending patterns tend to come with a radical restructuring or change in corporate strategy.
Still, service providers' guarded view of 2010 is more upbeat at mid-year than it was when the year started. Among, CRO and CMO respondents, 32% said this year's performance is already better than expected, and 47% said performance is as expected. After the difficulties of 2009, service providers went into 2010 with low expectations.

Cape Town goes green for 2010
Green Goal 2010 is part of Cape Town's commitment as a host city to ensuring that the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ is environmentally friendly.
The programme has a total of 41 projects, each aiming to educate people about how to reduce our impact on the environment. The projects deal with raising awareness, minimising waste, diversifying and using energy efficiently, consuming water sparingly, compensating for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™'s carbon footprint, practising responsible tourism and constructing infrastructure with future generations in mind.
Green Goal looks beyond the 2010 tournament towards its long-term environmental, social and economic impact.
The programme offers Cape Town an opportunity to demonstrate to the world its commitment to responsible environmental management as well as improving the living environment and livelihoods of its people.
Cape Town launched the Green Goal 2010 Action Plan on October 17, 2008. Informed by a series of workshops sponsored by the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, the action plan brought together stakeholders such as the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, non-governmental organisations, the 2010 Local Organising Committee and the City of Cape Town.
In 2009 the process was taken further as three workshops took place, discussing the issues relating to the implementation of the projects.
Close to three-quarters of the 41 Green Goal projects have already been started.

My favourite remains good ol BP 95% is devoted to talking about games that sounds obvious but hear me out. I've tried a few others recently and they are uniformly bad...horrible even! Way too much patting each other on the back and trying to outdo each others (lame) jokes. What amazed me is many of the big hitters don't talk about games at all. This of course isn't surprising to anyone that knows the quality of games 'journalism'.
Anyway you people know any other podcacsts that keeps their discussion primarily focused on games the industry etc? Invisible Walls is the only other one good one I've found it has a similar format to BP.

Diamonds Are Forever, the theme of the Dream Foundation's 2012 gala, was conveyed throughout the evening as guests celebrated D.C.'s storied baseball past alongside its bright future, from the beloved Senators and powerhouse Grays to today's red-hot Nationals.
Held on Saturday, June 16, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, the evening kicked off with a cocktail reception featuring 200 silent auction items, including imaginative "player favorites" baskets, exciting sports memorabilia and unique experience packages. Following the cocktail reception, guests entered the glittering Potomac Ballroom where Masters of Ceremony Bob Carpenter and F.P. Santangelo introduced the stars of the show-the 2012 Washington Nationals-and David Gregory narrated a video about the work of the Dream Foundation. Nationals third base coach Bo Porter also spoke movingly about the importance of sports in the lives of children before the evening concluded with a dynamic live auction.
Nationals radio announcers Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler presided over the fast-paced auction, which included an $11,500 bid for Bryce Harper's D.C. debut game-used jersey and cap. Bryce graciously threw in a game-used bat to push the bidding up, resulting in the highest bid for baseball memorabilia received in Dream Foundation history. Additionally, the Dream Foundation received its highest bid ever on a single item-$14,000 for a suite for 25 at the upcoming Bruce Springsteen concert at Nationals Park.
The combination of auctions and seat sponsorships netted an incredible $424,000 for the Dream Foundation, which will directly support its cornerstone programs.

The increase in the character limit of comments has led them to become as important as the questions and answers that spawn them. On several occasions (especially on meta) I've found reason to want to link to a comment directly. I'd imagine something as simple as making the date / time stamp an anchored link which mimics the behavior of the question link.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
This appears to be officially supported now:
Right clicking on the timestamp gives what looks like a stable URL:
FWIW, you can link to comments by combining the URL used behind the scenes to retrieve them with the internal ID for the specific comment:
However, this relies on specific aspects of the current implementation, and there's no guarantee they won't change at some point in the future. Don't count on these links being permanent!
Or, even worse, combining the permalink of an answer (to ensure proper pagination) with the id of a comment, which however might not be shown on a page if there's too many comments, or if it's deleted (and hence would result in the page not scrolling at all):
Links from the profile page currently use a slightly different format, where the comment ID has the answer ID appended to it (comment-<commentID>_<answerID>):
For a userscript that'll make this easier, see the SEModification.user.js available here.
This would actually be really helpful for people who flag comments - being able to move directly to the item flagged.
I just can't see any legitimate need to deep link (permalink) to a comment.
Conceptually, they are too ephemeral compared to answers and questions. And on top of that, whether a comment is visible or not is completely dependent on how many other comments there are and how highly they are voted, among other variables...
Linking to the question or answer should be sufficient, I think.
edit: we do have a way to deep link to comments now, I believe -- I'll check and provide details.
I agree, this has been a problem for me too a few times, mainly in meta-SO. It would have helped Jeff to link to me and TXI's bad joke in a recent SO blog post too! :)
I was also looking for a neat way to get a link to a comment without digging in the page's source code or fighting with Firefox Web Developer Toolbar's
I would suggest to make the timestamp part of the comment a direct link to the comment.
Something like this:

Seriously? Who still uses a mouse pad?
I bought a few of these a while back. They don't stay in place well enough to be used as a mousepad and are a bit small for the task, anyway. I tried throwing one, but it didn't do to well at that, either. But they work fine for putting things on... perhaps a Red Skull coffee mug...?

Lets say you were aiming for 1.047 but only hit 1.032. In a 5 gallon batch, how much malt extract would you need to add to the fermenter to bring it up to the desired gravity?
If we steal the numbers from this question, we can assume that liquid malt extract has a value of about 37 points per pound per gallon, and dry has about 44. This is not exact.
When we talk about total gravity, we don't need to worry about the effect in volume. The amount of sugar in 50 gallons of water is the same as if you boil it down to 1 gallon. It's total gravity, or total sugar content, essentially.
So, you need to add 50 points to the batch.
I think my math is right. But it's early :) The numbers will honestly depend on the manufacturer of your malt, but you can plug in those numbers instead.
Let me know if that all makes sense.
In my experience:
1 lb of Dry extract will add 44 points per gallon (potential = 1.044), or 8.8 points in 5 gallons.
47-32 = 15 points needed to get where you want to be.
15/8.8 ~ 1.7 lb of DME.
Make a mini-wort - boil and cool the DME in as little water as possible and then add it to the fermenter slowly to minimalize the splash factor.
Y'know, I doubt it really matters if it's perfect down to the third decimal point. Why not just boil 2 lbs of DME in a liter or so of water, throw it in and see what happens? Isn't that close enough? Does it -really- need to be plus or minus .001 of an exact gravity?
From Beersmith (roughly):
27 g DME to 1 liter water will give you 1.010

See attached image. On my dual screen display I have a Unity Launcher on the left hand screen and also on the right hand screen. Both work perfectly fine.
I don't want two Unity Launchers. Every time I move my mouse to the right hand side it gets slowed down over the right launcher hampering my productivity.
I have an Nvidia card with the Nvidia driver and I am using TwinView.
Could somebody please tell me how to remove this extra duplicated launcher?

Migrating CSS
Hi all,
We got an old GWT project and we want to migrate to GXT 3.0 for the "magic stuff" that vanilla GWT doesn't have. This old project is based on gwt-ext (with ext-js 2.0.2) and we used x-toolbar and x-grid3 to create a new look and feel.
But with GXT 3.0 we are not able to use our old single-file-css anymore. Thats ok for me, I hope I could transform all styles to a custom theme.
But, our users were able to customize this old single css-file and change images, background colors, .... I wonder how I could let our users (-> css designer) customize the view now. The images and css file are inside a theme project, the css classNames are obfuscated or in the case I set a style to the uiBinder, I only set the top level class-name.
For instance when I got a grid and set the style to customGrid, only the top level of the grid is "customGrid". The header, where we want to change tho columnbackground is still complete obfuscated. I hoped that I got something like "customGrid x-grid-header" here.
Ok, enough bla bla my questions:
a) I am prototyping this css topic for myself at the moment. Does the 1 Developer Pack includes some more documentation about creating own themes?
b) I think the issue with legacy css support is not a gxt specific question. Perhaps someone here got a similiar issue and has some links or hints for me here.
31 Jul 2012 12:57 AM #2
I've also been searching for a way to "de-obfuscate" css class names. Just put that in your module file:
<set-configuration-property name='CssResource.style' value='pretty' />
3 Aug 2012 4:31 PM #3
This is interesting..... I wonder what Sencha's answer will be on their skinning support without having to recompile.
Thanks for the tip on the pretty class names. I am thinking this might be the key I need to assist with some of the selenium tests I have with my test deployment (ie. detecting selected rows etc.) In this regard GXT 2.X was easier, but perhaps this levels the playing field a bit. (of course it still means you need two deployment servers/web-apps - but I have this so it isn't an issue)

How to translate the old saying
"民以食为天"? Would that be "Food is the priority of populace"? That doesn't sound right to me, though.
Sign up

How to translate the old saying
First, as fefe said, this idiom should be "民以食为(wéi)天" and it comes from 《汉书·郦食其传》"王者以民为天,而民以食为天。" (biography of 郦食其 in the historical record of 汉 dynasty). That sentence means "People are the most important to an emperor, while foods are the most important to the people". Note that the correct pronunciation of the name is: lì yī jī
Why? Remember in ancient times, foods were not as sufficient as they are now(remember, even now some people in poverty are hungry all days), and foods are indispensable to the life.
Edit: More details
After reading that biography, I could explain more about the source. The context when 郦 spoke this was during the war time of 楚汉争霸, when he persuaded 刘邦 to occupy a city in which a lot of foods were stored. He spoke that to emphasize the importance of the foods(especially in the war time, if you don't have enough food supply, the soldiers won't fight for you, or even they would fight against you!)
Today, we usually use this proverb as an introduction sentence, when talking on the topic of foods.You would probably hear a sentence like this one from the host on the TV:
Sustenance is of utmost importance to the people.
The idiom where it was taken from, actually means that the wellbeing of his people should be of utmost concern to a ruler, and this concern is best addressed by keeping his people well fed.
I want to add to the answers above because I don't think they cover the full extent to the use of this saying.
This saying points out the respect that Chinese people have in their culture for food and its importance to the Chinese people.
Even in recent history, only two generations ago, many people died from hunger and this has had an effect on modern culture. Phrases such as "吃了吗" as a greeting also point to this.
This is apparent in many aspects of the culture; inviting others out to eat 请客, bringing out snacks and food as soon as a guest arrives, the complexity of preperation in Chinese cuisine and giving of health food gifts to others.
This is more than just saying food is the most important, it makes a vital point about the culture.
As an emperor in ancient China, if you don't let your people have enough food to eat, they will rebel against you. So '民以食为天' means in order to rule people, you must let them have the food to eat and this is very important to your rule.
天 here means very important.
Another example of 天 is 人命关天 which means a person's life is very important/valuable.

Hello folks,
With the release of our latest 12.04.1 we have already started receiving feedback and requests added into our OS. So I wanted to start this thread here so we can start getting community direct feedback and transparency as to what you all would like to see in future release.
Some already annotated items include:
More bible software
GUI to control dansguardian
More artwork
Maybe dansguardian customized out the box to not be as strict (this is a major MAYBE as I feel it is not the developers job to build your firewall but to merely provide a default one!)
Lets start building this list with possibly projects to make the next release better!!

Does anyone know of any good wordpress themes that are compatible with the bbpress plugin? I'm looking for something with a good layout, preferably a magazine/news type theme.
Thanks :)

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Best would be if you modify the bbpress theme a bit.Copy the entire folder "/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten" folder into your themes folder, rename it to something else, and modify your style.css to make it a custom child theme of whatever your current theme is.
Now you can modify as you you wish.
Another way :Copy all files of that folder inside ur theme.
In your theme's function.php add the following line.
Now you have your theme compatible with ur own bbpress page structure which you can modify as you wish. Hope that helps
If your budget stretches, the Genesis theme works well with bbpress once you install the compatibility plugin. There are a tonne of child themes for Genesis - you'll easily find a magazine / news type one that will suit. You can see it running on my site (currently the Lifestyle theme): http://www.nxtab.co.uk/discussion/
Unfortunately Genesis is a premium theme but I figured it's worth the cash to get something that actually works and looks good. Save yourself some time and get on with something productive!

And I mean all stats. Including unlocks, dogtags etc. And I want to do this without re-buying the game.
At present, it does not appear that there is a way to reset any stats.
The forums seems to indicate that the only way to do it is to be caught hacking and then get your stats reset by DICE. However, there is no guarantee that they wouldn't just ban you instead.
BF3 is different to BF:BC2, where you could have different profiles on the same account.
Now, with Battlefield 3 Premium, your can reset you Score/Minute, Kills/Deaths, and Wins/Losses stats.
Well, you could try using a "stat padding exploit". They did wipe/reset stats of those who did use those kind of exploit in the past. But I wouldn't recommend doing that!!
Not sure on other consoles, but this is kind of possible with xbox 360 if you don't mind using a different account(hint: free if you are using the family plan).
You should now be able to use that online pass with your new account. It's also completely possible to later copy your online pass to a thumbdrive along with that profile and play in two locations at once with one online pass. (one with your old gamertag and the other with your new gamertag)
There actually is a way.
WARNING: If you do this, it deleted all the battlefield 3 stats and saves. It deletes your Career, Multiplayer, Co-Op, Unlocks, Dog Tags, and I think your expansion packs.
One solution:
EA recently discontinued 'Online Pass' and removed the requirement from older games (including BF3). Therefore you will NOT be required to buy a new copy.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask a question about the Schrödinger equation, but I'll take my chances anyway. Basically, I would like to know how one can set up a potential function that represents a double-slit barrier and then solve the Schrödinger equation for this potential. Of course, according to classical optics, we will obtain an interference pattern, but it would be nice to see a solution entirely within the quantum-mechanical framework. I see this as a problem in mathematical physics, so hopefully someone could kindly provide me with some references.
migrated from math.stackexchange.com Oct 15 '12 at 18:33
This question came from our site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields.
I suggest that you consult the next reference about quantum potential, in which De Broglie–Bohm theory considers that famous experiment according to its pseudo classic point of view, in which the path of the particle is followed meaningly, explaining its intrinsical behaviour due to the fact that the derived potential $Q(\vec{x},t)$, has to do directly with the quantic conduct (since the center of mass of the particle), independently of the usual $U(\vec{x},t)$. In other words, Bohm considers that wave function can be written like $\Psi(\vec{x},t)=R(\vec{x},t)\cdot\exp{[\frac{i}{\hbar}\cdot S(\vec{x},t)]}$, where $R\doteq{\rho}^{0.5}$ represents the probability density and $S$ is the already known action. After introducing $\Psi$ into the Schrödinger equation, it is obtained that $Q(\vec{x},t)\propto\dfrac{\nabla^2 R}{R}$. At references of the first link, you can find a lot of articles, explaining us how considering Quantum Mechanics in this way, we can appreciate/follow almost deterministically the trajectory of the particle.
I will only sketch out how one would arrive at the actual equation, as I am rather lazy at the moment.
First, you will have to decide how many spatial dimensions you want to include: Obviously, a double-slit experiment won't work in one dimension, so we need at least two (which can then be generalised to three rather easily).
You then basically have a two-dimensional scattering problem, for which one would need a certain potential:
Assume waves to arrive from $x = -\infty$ parallel to the $x$ axis, to be scattered at a potential $U(x,y)$. $U$ should be $0$ nearly everywhere except for a certain barrier, possibly located around the $y$ axis. Something like this should do:
$$U_1(x,y) = \theta(y-y_1) \cdot \theta(x) \cdot \theta(1-x) $$ $$U_2(x,y) = \theta(y_0-y) \cdot \theta(-y_0 - y) \cdot \theta(x) \cdot \theta(1-x) $$ $$U_3(x,y) = \theta(-y-y_1) \cdot \theta(x) \cdot \theta(1-x) $$ $$U(x,y) = u_0 \cdot( U_1(x,y) + U_2(x,y) + U_3(x,y) \quad u_0 \textrm{ large or }\infty, \quad y_{0,1} > 0 $$
$U_1$ is meant to describe a potential of height $u_0$ in the area where $0 < x < 1$ and $y > y_1$ (that is, the upper part of the barrier). $U_2$ describes a similar potential for $0 < x < 1$ and $- y_0 < y < y_0$, $U_3$ is similar to $U_1$ in the lower half-plane for $y < -y_0$.
As you can see, this potential lacks basically any symmetry one could remotely hope for. I would try a planar wave ansatz, but it is really not nice.
Maybe someone else has a better idea? :)

Unavailable for the photo were Kimberly Truax, payroll coordinator, and Robin Kapelke, payroll calculations clerk 2.
GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo's Human Resources and Payroll Services Department has earned an Outstanding Performance Award for payroll achievement in the high volume category from New York's Office of the State Comptroller.
The award is based on performance measures and statewide performance standards developed by the New York State Payroll Users Group and Bureau of State Payroll Services. In a letter to Geneseo, the two groups wrote: "This is an outstanding testament to your successful efforts to improve performance, even in these times of budgetary challenges, which will ultimately translate into better quality services for our employees."
The college received the award during a Dec. 1 ceremony in Albany.
"Payroll services must satisfy multiple requirements at once in a timely manner and I commend our team in human resources and payroll services for this significant recognition from the state," said James B. Milroy, vice president for finance and administration at Geneseo.
"We work hard to produce the timely materials used to measure performance for these awards and it's very gratifying to receive the recognition," said Julie Briggs, the college's assistant vice president for human resources. "My hat goes off to our entire human resources and payroll staff."

Grand National Roadster Show - Part 2Written by on April 24, 2014 In With the Old
At one end of the GNRS, the AMBR contenders and other cars represented our hobby's latest and greatest. Anchored at the other end of the show, the Suede Palace was packed with some of the oldest and greatest. This is where vintage hot rods roll in alongside newer builds done with the same traditional styles, parts, and techniques. This year's collection featured a few early rods that have re-emerged after decades out of sight. Thank you to organizers Alex and Celeste Idzardi (and others), participants, vendors, 'stripers, the many clubs that contributed the custom-made trophies and picked the winners, and everybody else who made the Suede Palace amazing.

This chopped 1935 Dodge DU coupe tail dragger was lowered with rear bags and a Mustang II frontend, and packed with a 318 from an 1988 Dodge cop car. Owner Robert Collins said the 1936 Ford fender skirts fit right on. The interior is bright red vinyl tuck 'n' roll.We don't see many fenderless 1928 Sport Coupes on 1932 'rails. Tim Musico built this one for $10,000, collecting the body and parts from fellow Long Beach Cavaliers members and finishing it days before the GNRS. The '39 Flathead is backed by a '36 trans. The period-looking paint is a new Fiat color.Greg Hopkins of Dothan, AL, was building a replica of this 1931 Model A, seen on the cover of Lost Hot Rods II, when he ran across the original. Built in the 1940s, the car was "lost" for 50 years. Vern Tardel built the 1959 AB Flathead with Cyclone heads and intake. At the Suede Palace it was chosen as Best Hot Rod.Todd Lancaster took inspiration from numerous early rods in creating a 1929 roadster in the style of a late-'40s street/lakes racer. A '38 Flathead and '39 trans power the '29. The car was finished a day before driving into the Suede Palace where it won Best In Show.Dave York's 1932 also has an incredible heritage. It was stored in pieces for 30 years and probably hadn't run since the '50s. The newest part is from 1948, not counting the backing material Dave added to the brittle late '50s top. The '40 Merc Flathead features 97s on a slingshot intake, and a Harmon Collins magneto.In 2009, Nick Osborne bought his 1934 coupe from the widow of Robert Girod, who bought it in 1949, hot-rodded it in the early '50s, shot this paint in his driveway in 1958, and raced it at San Fernando (and on the street). Osborne has left the coupe, including the '54 Olds Rocket and '34 Toploader with Zephyr gears, basically unchanged.
