Otterbein addresses fiscal cliff deal
People are understandably worried about how the fiscal cliff deal will impact them. So Otterbein North Shore has decided to take action and share clear answers and innovative ideas about what you can do instead of worry.
The community is invited to join nationally renowned speaker Barb Culver and her colleague Kathleen Marteney from Resonate Inc. on Jan. 30 at 9:30 am in the Hearth at Otterbein North Shore, 9400 North Shore Blvd. If any of the questions below are of interest to you, you'll want to take advantage of this presentation.

Consider a (smooth) bundle E→_B_, and a (smooth) function f: E → R on the total space. Then it makes sense to talk about the derivatives of f along the fibers. Let C be the subspace of E consisting of all points for which all fiber-wise derivatives of f vanish, so that upon intersecting with any fiber C consists of the critical points of the restriction of f to the fiber. If the fiber is n-dimensional, then C is carved out by n equations, and so generically has codimension n in E.
Let's say that c is a point in C so that the second derivative of f in the fiber is nondenegerate (i.e. has non-degenerate Hessian; i.e. f restricts to a Morse function on the fiber through c). Does it follow that the projection C→_B_ is a local diffeomorphism near c?
The answer is yes when everything is finite-dimensional (and I believe the statement is iff). I am interested in the case when B is finite-dimensional but the fibers of E are infinite-dimensional.
Edit: This is a response to Andrew's question below (since answering in the comments proves difficult).
I'm using the word "Morse" loosely, largely because I don't actually know Morse theory. I would suggest that the definition I give is better than what's traditionally used. What I actually mean is this:
Let M be a smooth manifold and f:M→R a smooth map. What type of object is the second derivative f(2)? In general, you should not talk about it by itself, because it does not transform as a tensor, although the pair (f(1),f(2)) is a vector in the 2-jet bundle over M. But if c is a critical point of f, then f(2)(c) is naturally a symmetric bilinear form TcM x TcM → R. Thus it is a map TcM→T*cM. All I ask is that this map have zero kernel.
But if this condition is too weak, whereas a reasonable stronger condition works, I'd love to hear it.

LAMPASAS (September 14, 2012)--Llano City Manager Finley deGraffenried will serve as the new Lampasas city manager.
DeGraffenried takes the place of Michael Stoldt, who was fired just over a year ago for "in-house reasons."
In June, the city selected David Vela as a finalist for the position but he turned it down after failing to come to terms with the city council on salary and other terms of employment.
Interim City Manager Stacy Brack has been filling the position temporarily since last August.
DeGraffenried will give the City of Llano about a month's notice before working in Lampasas full-time October 15.
The city says deGraffenried's experience with various management projects and his social skills make him a good match for the city.

I am a pretty reasonable guy, I would like to think, so if someone says they were misquoted, I am willing to hear them out. Christine Vest took exception to our article about her agreeing that the media and fans have been too hard on Dwight and she wouldn't mind going to Houston.
Here is what she had to say.
Woke up to a million tweets. I WASNT "agreeing" that i want to see him in houston..at ALL, i was agreeing that i hate the media blaming him
— Christine Vest (@Christine_Vest) April 29, 2013
…for the nightmare season/ all of the problems occurred. Guess I could have said more than a one word response but was watching the game.
— Christine Vest (@Christine_Vest) April 29, 2013
My suggestion to Ms. Vest, who I have nothing against, would be to keep her opinions on Dwight Howard's free agent movement to herself and off Twitter. Because since she is claimed somewhat by Dwight as the significant other, anything she says will become a story.
Like I said, I am reasonable, everyone isn't as nice as I am.

User Roll Editor (Wordpress Plugin) lets you assign permissions to users via an easy toggle box interface. "Read Posts" is an option there, so you should be able to assign that permission to only people logged in under a certain roll. You can set the default log in roll to contributor, for instance, and manage that rolls permissions so they can't post but can read content.
As for front page login forms, in my opinion the best one out there is Simple Modal Login (Wordpress Plugin), it's very attractive.
I am getting ready to do create a member login system myself.
One way I've seen it done is to have a search box where the user input their email address. The resulting page is a login page which is dedicated to that user. They would login using their username and password for the content you control from that login page.
Let us know how it goes
If you want your site for logged-in users only you can use Private WordPress (Wordpress Plugin).
It sounds like you need something like this - Role Scoper (Wordpress Plugin)
Never used it myself so can't rate it but it looks like it'll be able to do what you require.

The Sophisticates
A day at Charlie Palmer is always a treat, and this time it was made even better by the lovely ladies of JDRF O.C.'s Dream Guild, who gathered at the restaurant for the group's annual luncheon. And it was filled with stylish pleasures from start to finish. The 150 guests began with sips of Champagne at Montblanc's SCP boutique before sitting down to an oh-so-chic (and tasty) three-course meal from chef Seakyeong Kim. A silent auction also delighted with handbags from Jessica Grant—created by Dream Guild member Suzan Paek—Burberry and Chanel. And to close? Moira Kamgar, Jennifer Berlinger, Heather Madden and the rest of the gals went home with a fragrance from Montblanc—and the news that it all raised $20,000 for Type 1 diabetes research. A fashionable affair, indeed. Photography by M. Haight Photography

Election canvass completed
NEW CUMBERLAND - Hancock County elections officials have completed a canvass of the Nov. 6 election results and expected to certify the county races sometime today.
The canvass was conducted on Tuesday, with Hancock County Commissioners Mike Swartzmiller and Dan Greathouse, two ballot commissioners and Hancock County Clerk Eleanor Straight voting on the challenges.
Vote totals in the county races were not appreciably changed as a result of the canvass, which is held to consider provisional and absentee ballots, Straight said.
"We had quite a few people that weren't registered to vote that wanted to vote anyway. We can't turn them away," Straight said.
Those ballots were not counted.
Elections results cannot be certified until 48 hours after the canvass, she said. Local races in which totals will be certified today are county commissioner, prosecuting attorney, sheriff, assessor and magistrate.
Statewide races, such as House of Delegates and governor, will be certified once all 55 counties have completed their canvass process, Straight said.

It's a wonder Better Half and I ever got married, considering we have such a tough time making decisions.
That applies to the big "I do" decision and all the little decisions, too. And everything else in between, truth be known.
Let's see
To keep things or pitch them.
To paint or wallpaper.
To move or stay put.
To dress up or dress down.
To go here or go there.
To buy this or buy that.
To eat in or eat out.
Now that's a really weighty issue that brings complications either way.
If we eat in, for example, it's what to fix.
"I don't know. What are you hungry for?" one of us begins the familiar inquiry that prompts the familiar response.
"I don't care. What are you hungry for?"
Here we go. It's a tennis match with no winner.
We could starve, given the rate of our non-deciding ways.
If we plan to eat out, however, it's more of the same.
It's deciding where to go to eat when we don't know what we're even hungry for in the first place.
Talk about challenging.
"Where do you want to go?" one of us poses the question invariably answered by a question.
"I don't know - where do you want to go?" comes the inevitable response.
Here we go again. More stomach growling here. And yet another tennis match.
Christmas adds to the layers of indecisiveness, especially in the present-purchasing department.
"Let's not buy gifts for each other this year," Better Half made the bold suggestion about a week ago, conveniently so since he's not a big shopping fan.
No Consumer of the Year Award for this guy.
"Don't you think we should get each other a little something?" I argued the point with such conviction, it produced the exact response I had expected: "I don't know - what do you think?"
The bottom line is we decided not to decide right away, even though I offered a course of action, that we spend no more than say $20 on each other, just to see how creative we could be and what we could come up with.
"I don't know," Better Half said with conviction, clearly in one of his I-can't-make-up-my-mind pre-Christmas moods, given we were in the midst of trying to decide when to put up the Christmas tree. And where.
I couldn't make my mind up either about the gift-giving thing, if it was a good idea or not, so I did what any indecisive good wife would do.
I've been going shopping, my theory to buy early and buy often the Christmas presents I know Better Half would want to get me if only he could make up his mind.
"I do" believe this is the way to go.

How to Install Wilwood's Ultralight BrakesWritten by on October 4, 2013 We're cutting 5 pounds of unsprung weight off each wheel of this race car, thanks to Wilwood's ultralight brake setups
Racers are always trying to cut weight, even if they have to add it back in lead just to make the minimum weight. That's because placing the weight where you want it (low and to the left) can help the race car handle better.
But that's just static weight that the car has to haul around with it: bumpers, body, cylinder heads, that kind of stuff. Whenever you talk about cutting weight from any components that are part of the suspension you get a double whammy because cutting unsprung weight helps the suspension react more quickly. Cutting rotating weight—from areas like the crankshaft, clutch, and driveshaft—also has an extra benefit because it helps the engine spin up faster and get all that power to the rear tires.
Now consider hitting the magic trifecta where you can cut overall weight, unsprung weight, and rotating weight all at the same time. Usually, the only areas of a race car where you can get a triple threat like this are the hubs, brake rotors, axles, and gears. So every ounce you can cut there without sacrificing durability should play a very real role in improving your on-track performance.
Wilwood has engineered a way to cut big chunks of weight off a race car with it's drilled steel scalloped rotors. Steel rotors aren't exactly anything new. They've been around in drag racing and on Sprint Cars and motorcycles for years, but stock car racing has always been the domain of heavier cast-iron brake rotors. Compared to steel, cast-iron rotors are better at radiating heat and more durable than the lightweight steel units, and conventional thinking held that stock car racers are hard on the brakes two times a lap for 100 laps or more that beefy cast rotors are mandatory.
But that isn't necessarily true. In horsepower-limited classes (which is practically anything with a crate engine today) it's easy to lug the engine. So the key to fast lap times becomes maintaining corner speeds. As a result, racers are trying to use less brake and can get by with smaller brake packages.
To see just how much could be gained, we worked with Wilwood to install a new, super-lightweight brake setup on a Limited Late Model dirt race car. A Limited car is a step above a Crate Late Model with a spec-head engine capable of nearly 700 horsepower. This much power, according to Wilwood's Jim "Spike" Logue who specializes in supporting short track racing teams, doesn't rule out a lightweight steel rotor system. In fact, he says he even has Super Dirt Late Model race teams running the system in the right situations.
"Horsepower really isn't a limiting factor," he explains. "The steel brakes are just as capable of slowing a race car as a cast-iron rotor. It's the diameter of the rotor and the clamping force of the caliper that determines that amount of wheel torque, or stopping power.
"The difference is that a smaller rotor may save you weight, but it also isn't able to radiate off the heat generated from friction as efficiently. Normally, I say that these brakes excel in limited horsepower and crate applications. Momentum racing where you aren't extremely hard on the brakes. The rotor has two functions: The primary function is to convert clamping force into wheel torque to slow the car, but it's also the radiator of the brake system. Friction builds heat, and you have to move that heat away from the brakes or else the brake fluid boils and things stop working. Any time you take mass away from that rotor, you affect its ability to do its job. It isn't a matter of cast-iron versus steel, it's a matter of mass."
So how much weight can you save? Consider that the usual Wilwood vaned cast-iron rotor used by most Late Model level cars on both dirt and asphalt is 11.75 inches in diameter, 1.25 inches wide and weighs 8.8 pounds. A solid steel rotor that's still the same 11.75-inch diameter, but scalloped cuts the weight by more than half and weighs in at just 4.1 pounds. That's an incredible savings in terms of weight. But because it's just 0.38-inch wide, the weight savings also extend to the caliper, which doesn't need to be as wide, either. Altogether, we calculated a savings of approximately 5 pounds at each corner of the car, which came from swapping to the Wilwood steel rotors and corresponding calipers.
Speaking of calipers, Logue recommended outfitting the new calipers with the same Polymatrix B compound brake pads the racer was already used to with his existing setup. "The pads have the same friction against the steel rotors as cast-iron, but all pads have a different coefficient of friction as the temperature changes. As the pad gets hotter, it gets 'grabbier.' That is until you hit a critical temperature, and then all the friction goes away.
"So you may be able to start out with the same pad, but if you wind up running higher brake temps you may need to adjust your pad compound. Pad maintenance is also important because of the higher temperatures," he adds. "After a night of racing and you've been hard on the brakes, take the pads out, inspect them and scuff them up on the concrete to get rid of any glazing. If they look OK and you've got the glazing off, then they can go back in.
"Besides the pads, you also need to be very careful with your brake fluid. You probably already bleed the brakes regularly. But instead of just burping the bleeders to get any air out, bleed enough to get all the fluid out of the calipers and get fresh fluid in there. And you will probably have to bleed the brakes more often, too."
With the installation of the Wilwood braking system in this Limited Late Model dirt race car, we're looking forward to testing the system and will let you know how it goes. Stay tuned.
Instead of just burping the bleeders to get any air out, bleed enough to get all the fluid out of the calipers and get fresh fluid in there.

3 Wilwood redesigned its popular Starlight 55 hubs (they are now called Starlight 55-XD) to move the rotor mounting points closer to the center of the hub. The rotors now mount to a steel bolt-on rotor mount plate instead of directly to the ears, which also makes floating the rotors easier. This new design keeps the weight lower, while making the hub even stronger.4 For comparison, here's a shot of the traditional Starlight wide five hubs. Notice how the cast-iron rotor mounts directly to the hubs mounting bosses which are longer and farther out on the hub.5 The rotors are designed so that they can be mounted directly to the steel mounting plates or floated—Wilwood calls this "dynamically mounted"—using the slots in the mounting plate. Floating the rotors can be helpful to combat the extra heat because it allows the rotors to move slightly without warping, but if you prefer you can save a little money on the extra fasteners and even cut out a few extra ounces by solid mounting the rotors.6 The T-nuts used for dynamically mounting the rotors fit into the slots in the mounting plate, and then the rotor is bolted to the T-nut. This allows the rotor to expand and contract with heat because the T-nuts can slide ever so slightly in the slots.9 The beauty of this lightweight system from Wilwood is that it doesn't require you to purchase lots of extra components to make it work on your race car. For example, instead of purchasing new spindles, Wilwood designed the narrower caliper to still center up on the rotor by bolting it to the opposite side of the mounting bracket.10 The Wilwood hubs come with bearing races already installed, but we removed them and installed a different set that had been REM polished. We didn't realize it at first, but the new races pushed the hub farther out on the spindle a fraction of an inch and kept the rotor from centering inside the caliper. The rotor has notches cut into one side where it bolts to either the mounting plate or the T-nuts, and the solution was as simple as flipping the rotor over.
12 We're using a bearing spacer to help set the pre-load on the wheel bearings. We don't have room here for detailed instructions on setting preload on your hubs (that's a story for another day), but once the correct length for the bearing spacer is determined, you are ready to build your hubs.13 The first step is to install the inner seal. You will find that the Starlite 55-XD wide-five hubs can make installing the seal a little trickier than usual because the revised mounting bosses for the rotor bracket puts the bolts very close to the o.d. of the seal. Just use care and, if possible, find a seal driver that fits within the circle of the bolts.15 Now you can install the hub onto either the front spindle or the rear axle with the bearing spacer sandwiching the inner and outer bearings.16 Apply some antiseize to the threads on either the spindle or axle tube to keep the hub nut from sticking and binding.18 Finally, you can tighten down the hub nut. If you don't have a dedicated socket, you can use a screwdriver and a hammer in a pinch.
21 To make sure the drive flange doesn't seep gear oil, apply a small bead of silicone around the inside edge of the flange.22 Torque the bolts connecting the drive flange to the hub to no more than 45 ft-lbs. Remember, those bolts are threading into aluminum so you want to make sure not to strip the threads.23 The pads going into the narrow Forged Dynalite calipers are smaller than normal, but they are the same Polymatrix compounds drivers have used for years and are used to racing on.24 Here, you can see the caliper mounted to the caliper bracket on the rear axle housing. Instead of mounting to the inside edge of the bracket as the caliper does with 1.250 wide rotors, the narrow caliper bolts to the outside and is centered up with the use of a shim.26 Lots of racers help the car initiate turn entry—especially on dirt—by running a different pad on the right-front. But Logue says that as the heat comes up in the brakes the friction split between the right and left side can change. Instead, he recommends running a caliper with smaller pistons on the right front. In our case, we're running calipers with 1.75-inch diameter pistons on three wheels and one with 1.38-inch diameter pistons on the right-front wheel.

Per bleacherreport.com
Mendy is now third string and Dwyer is starter.
I bet he's gone after this season, along with Wallace.
Good cap and talent move, IMO.
How many fumbles did Mendy have - 1 or 2?
Not sure Dwyer looked any better or worse than Mendy on Sunday ... wonder if there's something else going on like attitude problems or something.
Did they say who #2 was going to be DJ?
Mendenhall has been living on borrowed time and on past accomplishments. I don't fault the guy for getting injured, but when called upon he just hasn't been able to answer for whatever reason. I think the organization expected a lot more from a RB that was a No.1 pick.
Good News...!!
Dwyer has been the best RB for Steelers this season.
The number two wasn't addressed, unless I missed it. You can bet it's Redman.
Mendenhall demoted Wallace close, too
November 27th, 2012
Mark Kaboly | Tribune-Review
The depth chart thats released by the Steelers every Tuesday is just a formality nothing ever changes.
Well, except when your top running back fumbled twice the four times he touched the ball and your speedy receiver catches one pass and has some poor body language.
When the Steelers released its depth chart for Sundays game against Ravens, Rashard Mendenhall was demoted from first-team running back to third string. Jonathan Dwyer is now listed as the starter. Isaac Redman remained as the No. 2.
Also, Mike Wallace was always listed as the starting receiver along with Antonio Brown. Now, the depth chart reads Mike Wallace OR Emmanuel Sanders as the starter.
Obviously, the Steelers and Mike Tomlin is not very happy with either guy.
This very well could be a ploy by Tomlin to motivate the two players. It wouldve been just as easy to not change the official depth chart and go about your plan to not play Mendenhall or Wallace. But for the Steelers to make it official in one of their weekly releases tell me motivation might be a reason why.
However and ironically, both are in the final year of their rookie deals.
I guess we can assume that the either Mendenhall and Wallace wont be on the top of the Steelers free agent list in March if they dont respond like the Steelers are hoping they do.
Glad to see MW demoted. I was a Mike Wallace fan but i think he has been disappointing.
MW had great 3 season with Steelers. I though MW might take the next step in his play this year but he has been disappointing. It's as if his progress on the field has stopped. All he has to do is watch Plex draw PI penalty and learn from it.
I have not been following NCAAF this season.Is there a Randy Moss type WR this draft?? If there is one i would not mind Steelers drafting him in Rd 1.

Is there an easy and cheap way to print small quantities of qr codes on post-it notes? Would need only a few post-its with same qr code, but overall quantity might be a 100 a day.
Given the quantities you're talking about, I'd made a good use of my desktop printer. In fact I did a little test today using my "laser" ;). First I made a document of the size of my paper sheet. In my case it was A4. Then, knowing which edge goes to the drum first and which side of the paper faces it, I drawn a "placeholder" on my document:
A placeholder's only purpose is to make orienting post-it easy. Of course there can be more of them and the sheet can contain some other information like marking of the "first" edge or marking the edge where post-it's glue should be, for example. Having it ready I did the first print.
Next I glued my post-it, making sure the glue was directed so it makes the drum first (non-sticky end to follow). In my document, I placed QRCode to be printed and hidden placeholder marks (no need to repeat them — it can be outright harmful result wise). So I got:
I placed my sheet with post-it attached, oriented exactly as the first time in the tray and made the second print on it. The result was:
The good part is that the glue remains sticky after going through the heater, so post-its can be used as intended right after "unsticking" them from the "template" sheet:
That's pretty much it. I know it's relatively low-tech solution, requiring some manual work, but it still works and it's cheeeep :).
I don't think this trick will work for the inkjets, given their sideways movement of printing heads, but for most lasers I think it should be applicable.
Of course there will be some inaccuracies caused by inexact post-it placement on sheet, inexact positioning of the sheet in the tray etc., but if some care should be put into aligning independent elements these inaccuracies should be kept lower than, say, 2-3 mm. Results may vary depending even on printer construction, but hey!… it's not an offset printing press ;).
One more note: I'm not responsible for possible problems/damages/etc. AKA "bad things" that can potentially result from the experiments of the sort described above. I did it on my own responsibility and so will do every "follower" :).
There is actually a 3m product Post-it® Notes PC410B, 8 1/2 in x 11 in Sheets of Notes for Printers, but thbodzio low-tech solution seems to be more cost-effective.
Seems like "PostIt" isn't necessarily what you're after. Why not just use a printable label sheet designed for this purpose. Something like this. Then you can have them loaded in a dedicated tray (or printer) and use a template layout for quick output.

If I'm out in the wilderness and want to catch fish to survive, what are some ways I can do this without a conventional fishing pole/line?
I like the native american fish trap (fishing weir). It's relatively easy to build if you have the right access to a stream.
The basic idea behind this trap is to create a funnel that the fish follow into a trap that they cannot easily get out of. To build it, you simple stake off an area with small branches pushed down into the mud. The water must be able to get through, but make sure the sticks are close enough to prevent the fish from coming through.
Notice in the picture that the bottom set of sticks creates a funnel that fish easily follow into the trap. Once in there, it's very difficult for fish to find the one point where they can escape the trap.
You can actually reach in to the water and grab the fish. No running or chasing. You just quietly get in position, and then when it's time, you quickly grab the fish.
Thomas Elpel describes the process in his wonderful book, Participating in Nature: http://www.hopspress.com/Books/Participating_in_Nature.htm
The nice thing is that it requires no equipment.
He says the technique is illegal in many places, because it is so effective that if widely used it would harm the fish population. In a survival situation, I would accept the legal consequences.
One time in the Bihor mountains I watched a group of locals catch quite a remarkable number of fish by hand. They would walk upstream fairly fast running creek, two of them actually in the water, and several of them on the sides. The ones in the water would every once a while throw themselves down, scoop a fish with their hands and throw it to the bank, where the rest of the guys would immediately fall upon it and kill it with a hatchet.
You can use a net to catch fish like you would do in an aquarium. Fastening a net at a strategic place in a rapid can, in theory, act as a fish trap, but I've never tried it.
Spearing is both viable and varies in legality within the U.S. Spearing during salmon runs has been done for centuries in the pacific northwest. "Darkhouse" spear fishing is popular on frozen lakes in the upper midwest and during the summer natives still spear for pike and walleye on many upper midwest lakes.

Turns Out Einhorn Was Shorting Herbalife After All…
David Einhorn loves playing coy with the market.
The hedge-fund manager told investors at a client meeting Tuesday that his firm, Greenlight Capital, had bet against Herbalifeshares last year, WSJ's Juliet Chung reports, citing people familiar with the firm. That revelation comes after Greenlight's fourth-quarter letter didn't specifically say whether the firm had a position in the nutritional-supplement maker.
After betting against Herbalife last year, Einhorn said he doesn't currently have a position in the company.
The short on the nutritional supplements company, currently the subject of rival bets by hedge-fund managers William Ackman and Daniel Loeb, was profitable, Mr. Einhorn said during Greenlight's annual meeting, adding that his firm had closed the position last year. He did not go into the size of his position or profits, one of the people said.
Mr. Einhorn told investors that Greenlight had no current bet on or against Herbalife and declined to go into his investment thesis on the company, saying he did not want to butt heads with Mr. Loeb or Mr. Ackman, the people said.
A Greenlight spokesman didn't immediately comment.
Speculation about Einhorn's position in the company began in May when he made a surprise appearance on the company's earnings call and asked pointed questions about the company's business model.
The mere presence of Einhorn, known for successfully shorting Lehman Brothers and making bearish bets on Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, sent Herbalife's shares tumbling.
Herbalife returned to the headlines in December when hedge-fund titan Bill Ackman disclosed his bearish bet on the company, sparking a heated debate among several hedge-fund investors about Herbalife and the overall multilevel marketing industry.
Herbalife shares recently fell 3.6% to $42.58. The stock is up 63% since late December, although it remains down about 40% since Einhorn made his appearance on the May 1 Herbalife conference call.

Saudi Arabia In Focus
Kingdom's Speech before the Review Conference of States Party to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
May 6, 2010
Speech given by the Head of the Delegation, Naïf bin Bandar Al-Sudairy, in New York
Mr. President,
Members of the Esteemed Delegations;
The Delegation of my Country is pleased to extend to Your Excellency its sincere congratulations on presiding over this important conference, which demonstrates your stature and the significance of your friendly country, the Philippines. We are confident that your ability and competence will contribute to the success of this meeting.
The Delegation of my Country emphasizes that this Treaty is the cornerstone of the nonproliferation regime to which we all aspire to achieve in a spirit of cooperation and justice; and that this Review Conference includes follow-up on implementation of the Treaty and the contents of the resolutions and decisions previously adopted by previous review conferences in 1995 and 2000. Today, the International Community, more than ever, is required to work towards achieving the universal adoption of the Treaty. We will make every possible effort to agree on a plan of action for achieving universality of the Treaty through the accession of the States Non-Parties to the Treaty without conditions, and placement of all their nuclear facilities under the Agency's comprehensive safeguards. In this context, we note that failure to pressure Israel into an immediate compliance would lead to more threats to the Middle East's security and stability; and might involve the region in a nuclear arms' race the world is keen to prevent!
In a previous preparatory meeting held in Geneva, Saudi Arabia submitted a report, adopted as official document NPT/Conf. 2005/pc. 11/30, on the steps needed to promote the establishment of a Nuclear-Free Zone in the Middle East; in response to what was stipulated in Part I of The Concluding Document of the Sixth Review Conference of States Parties to the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 2000. The Government of my Country continues to emphasize the concerns included in contents of this report, topped by the establishment of a Nuclear-Free Zone in the Middle East which was adopted by the General Assembly from 1974 until now. Actually, it was adopted by consensus since 1980 (during the 35th session). Whereas the security and stability in any region cannot be achieved through the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction, it should rather be achieved by cooperation and communication between States, by the pursuit of development and progress and by avoiding race to possess this horrible weapon. Hence, Israel's possession of nuclear weapons is a fundamental obstacle to achieving security and stability in the region. Accordingly, all justifications for Israel's acquisition and development of weapons of mass destruction – particularly nuclear weapons - is a clear and frank contradiction of all Israel's claims about the desire for establishing peace with the peoples and countries of the region. Our expectation is that this Conference requests from the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency to follow up on the resolution on "The Israeli Nuclear Capabilities" adopted last September as document GC(53)/RES/17; and provide progress reports to the Agency's Board of Governors about its implementation; in conjunction with the Agency's reduction in the level of technology programs offered to Israel in the nuclear field until its accession to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Mr. President,
My Country showed on several occasions its swift response to any initiatives that would achieve international peace and stability. It submitted its report to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This report was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the fourth paragraph of the mentioned resolution and was adopted as the official document S/AC.44/2004 1(02)/65. Moreover, the Kingdom plans to conduct a regional workshop to implement the Security Council resolution 1540 in cooperation with the relevant United Nations Security Council Committee. In this context, The Kingdom has recently ratified the Safeguards Agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency, confirming by this action the inherent right of all States Parties to the Treaty to possess and develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes; and not accepting any attempt to reinterpret any of the articles of the Treaty that might lead to restricting or limiting this right. Accordingly, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques decreed the establishment of King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy to oversee the peaceful uses of nuclear and renewable energy in the Kingdom. Article IV of the City's regulations stipulates that it is "the competent Authority in charge of fulfilling national obligations towards all treaties and agreements regarding the nuclear and renewable energy to which the Kingdom is, or will be, a signatory. The City is also mandated to supervise, monitor and control all usages of atomic energy and the resulting radioactive waste".
Mr. President,
My Government follows on the stumbling negotiations between the group of six (5 + I) and Iran over Iran's nuclear program and it causes our concern. On the other hand, it is important to encourage the Iranian side to continue to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency in order to make the Middle East a zone free of weapons of mass destruction. This can only be achieved through cooperation and transparency. The Government of my Country hopes that Iran will continue its constructive cooperation and move forward in this direction by taking a positive step in the right direction towards achieving security and stability in the region, which is part of the International Security and Stability system. Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia avails itself of this opportunity to commend the success of the Washington Summit on Nuclear Security, as well as supporting the Summit's Final Communiqué and Plan of Action.
Mr. President,
In conclusion, my Government reaffirms that the elimination of nuclear weapons is the ultimate guarantee against their use or threat of use. Moreover, the Kingdom calls to seriously consider the concerns of many non-nuclear-weapon states, in the continuing absence of stability in the Middle East and the increasing risks resulting from the recent events in the region, by drafting a binding international instrument that ensures the safety and stability of States that do not possess nuclear weapons and the implementation of commitments. Nuclear-weapon States should remove their entire stock of nuclear weapons and implement their obligations under the provisions of Article VI of the Treaty and the implementation of the thirteen steps adopted in the concluding document of the Review Conference of 2000.
And Thank You Mr. President.

ALTER BRIDGE RETURN WITH LONG-AWAITED NEW ALBUM FORTRESS SLATED FOR RELEASE ON OCTOBER 8th
Only Confirmed US Show in 2013 Scheduled For October 4th at the House Of Blues in Orlando, FL
(July 24, 2013 – New York, NY) It has been three years since Alter Bridge's last studio album, ABIII, was released in the US, but it is clear their fans have been waiting for them to return. Now the rock juggernaut band comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals, Mark Tremonti on guitar, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums return with their fourth album, Fortress slated for release on October 8th via EMI Label Services. The latest record builds upon the sound that Alter Bridge has been known for with their uncompromised vocal melodies, untouchable dueling guitar work and pounding rhythm section. The album was produced by long-time Alter Bridge producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette, known for his work with Falling In Reverse, Story Of The Year and Incubus to name a few.
"When we started pre-production on this album, we pushed ourselves harder and further than we ever have previously in order to make the most out of every individual arrangement. We wanted this album to be our most unpredictable and exciting one yet. From the early feedback we have received, it looks like we have achieved what we set out to do," exclaims Tremonti.
From the opening acoustic guitar work on "Cry Of Achilles" through the other 12 songs on Fortress, it is clear Alter Bridge are back to reclaim their place as one of hard rock's marquee bands. The band showcases some of their heaviest material ever in tracks like "Bleed It Dry" and "Farther Than The Sun," but also shows their signature softer side with songs like "All Ends Well" and the epic title track "Fortress." Fortress is is full of unapologetic, searing hard rock that Alter Bridge has come to be synonymous with around the globe.
Alter Bridge recently announced their only US show in 2013 in Orlando, FL on October 4th at the House of Blues. Tickets for this show will go on-sale on Friday, July 26 and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com. The band then heads over to Europe where they will begin an extensive headlining world tour that will run from October 16th through November 16 and will feature Shinedown and Halestorm joining the band on select dates. Alter Bridge will also make a triumphant return to Wembley Arena in London on October 18th, a venue they sold out on ABIII and documented with the CD/DVD, Alter Bridge Live At Wembley.
Alter Bridge burst onto the music scene in 2004 with the release of their gold-selling debut, One Day Remains. In 2007, the band released Blackbird, the album that elevated the band's profile worldwide. The epic solo in the title track "Blackbird" was voted "Greatest Guitar Solo Of All Time" by Guitarist Magazine. ABIII was released in 2010 and the single "Isolation" gave the band their first #1 single. Alter Bridge has appeared on The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live and their music has been used by the WWE, Major League Baseball and NASCAR to name a few. When Alter Bridge is on hiatus, singer Myles Kennedy can be found fronting Slash's band, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. Guitarist Mark Tremonti recently released his fist solo project All I Was that found Wolfgang Van Halen playing bass with Mark on the road. Scott Phillips formed Projected with John Connolly and Vinnie Hornsby of Sevendust and released their debut in 2012. ALTER BRIDGE TOUR DATES

How can I use these prime lenses for Canon T2I? Are these cheap and good? I have no clue what M42 lenses are. Please post appropriate links for the lenses and adapter that I can use for my canon t2i.
M42 prime lenses are single focal length lenses that fit the M42 mount, also known as screwmount. There are many M42 bodies other than the Zeiss Contax, but no digital M42 bodies.
Beware that Contax mount lenses are typically not M42 mount, but it's replacement, the C/Y mount or even N-mount.
The reason why primes are recommended is because when these were made, zoom lenses were of particularly poor quality.
Any EF-m42 adaptor should work just fine. I am not positive, but some may result in the aperture and distance markings to be at 6 o'clock instead of 12.
You will have manual focus and manual aperture control (you adjust the aperture ring and the lens stops down). Some bodies will allow more or less functions like metering, Av mode, focus-trap, IS.
Some lenses will have an Auto/Manual switch or have preset rings, which can be very helpful. In Auto (preset ring set one way), it will be wide open, allowing you to compose, focus, etc. Then switch to Manual and the lens will stop down to whatever the Aperture ring is set to. Then you shoot. Very helpful if you are using extension tubes and doing macros.
While there are tons of great M42 primes, there are also a lot of bad ones. Look up reviews in the vintage section here.
Just to add to jrista's point, the M42 mount lenses can often be found quite cheaply and many of them are extremely good, especially ones made by Zeiss. Pentax popularized this mount enourmously in its day, so there is also usually a lot of Pentax lenses available in this mount, also quite good. Which reminds me, you may sometimes see them referred to as "Pentax screw/thread mount" in adverts as a result of the popularization, however it's M42.
Anyways, for reviews and other good info on manual lenses, the Manual Focus Lenses site has a bunch of info and reviews, though not all lenses are M42.
Finally, bear in mind, these lenses will be fully manual and so you need to use them in manual mode on your T2i, possibly including metering (I'm not sure how to do stop-down metering on the Canon), and definitely including focusing.
The M42 is a standard lens mount. It has a 42mm diameter, hence the name. It was apparently originated by Zeiss, however it appears to have extremely broad compatibility with both old and obsolete as well as modern and current camera bodies. This includes Canon EOS, such as a T2i.
It should be noted that to use this mount on camera bodies other than the Zeiss Contax, you will likely require a mounting adapter. Additionally, these lenses do not include any electronic capabilities (or the adapter does not support electronic adaptation), so you will not have any features like auto-focus or electronic aperture control. Everything would be manual if you used one of these lenses on a modern electronic camera.
You can read more about this mount and its lenses at wikipedia.

Seriously though. I've depotted all 19 of my Tarte blushes into two large freeform palettes for easy access, and I realized the other day that if there was a fire in my apartment, my 2 Tarte blush palettes would be among the armful of things I would grab before I ran out the door (along with Spock, my new laptop, and a scrapbook of letters from all my loved ones my mom made me for my high school graduation). I own many makeup items that are harder to come by and/or more valuable than these blushes, but these palettes are what I use and cherish the most.
Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes have varying pigmentation levels depending on the color, but all are smoothly pigmented (none apply patchily on me). They melt into my cheeks and never look powdery or chalky, and most importantly, they last ALL DAY on my skin. This is not something I can say for other blushes and it is what makes them top-notch in my opinion!
Unfortunately, I'm a little disappointed in how my swatches of these came out - they don't show the nuances and differences between some of the shades as well as I'd like. So, I'm going to accompany the pictures with shade descriptions and comparisons; hopefully that will help you out.
Natural light:
Natural light:
Blissful is a matte rosy coral, softer and rosier than Tipsy. Achiote is a pure matte rose. Tickled is also a matte rose but redder and deeper than Achiote. (However, Blissful, Achiote, and Tickled might be hard for a "Muggle" to tell apart.) Dollface is a soft matte neutral pink, and my favorite of all 19 (I've already finished off one, have another one with a large dip that I keep in my desk at work, and have a small amount of pan winking at me from the one I'm currently working on at home). Adored is a bright cool pink with tiny silver glitters. Amused is a matte hot pink. Flush is a matte magenta - similar enough in my eyes to NARS Mata Hari that I purged the latter from my stash.
Natural light:
Peaceful, another favorite of mine, is a gently shimmering and subdued warm rose. Passion is a natural berry with tiny silver glitters. Blushing Bride is a rich plum with tiny glitters. (It's not quite a dupe for NARS Sin, but I often find myself reaching for it over Sin.) Buff is a pure nude with tiny glitters, not truly as yellow as it appears in these pictures (I think that's just the contrast between Buff and the purple-y tones of Blushing Bride). Exposed is a matte rosy nude. Dazzled is similar to Exposed, but slightly less brown, more rose, and has very subtle (almost invisible) shimmer. Dazzled has a more muted and almost plummier base color than Peaceful.
I hope this was helpful. I love these immensely and I think this is all of the colors Tarte has ever made - most of these are sold at Sephora and on Tarte's website, but some of them I purchased from eBay as they came in QVC- or HSN-exclusive sets.
Do you own any Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes? Will you be rushing out to get any? What are your favorite colors?
OH, I ALMOST FORGOT! Tarte is running a 30% off Friends & Family sale from now through August 6th, with free shipping when you spend $40+. GO GO GO! :)

It may be a pseudo question. But I still decide to ask. Given two $k$-modules $M$ and $N$,it seems to me that in the literature the tensor product $M\bigotimes_kN$ is always defined as the quotient of the free module generated over the set $M\times N$ modulo the ideal generated by the bi-linearity relations. But I am curious to see a different construction of $M\bigotimes_kN$ which is of course isomorphic to the one mentioned above.
In my first encounter with the tensor product of modules (in a course on representation theory by prof. Lenstra), it was done in the following spirit:
First, the tensor product $M\otimes _RE$ is defined using the universal property. Next, we prove the following (and other) elementary properties (here I am concentrating on the object and leaving out the morphism):
Theorem: The tensor product $M\otimes_RE$ exists.
Proof: Take a generating set S of E, i.e. the natural map $f:R^{(S)}\to E$ is surjective. Next pick a generating set T of ker(f), so the natural map $h:R^{(T)}\to R^{(S)}$ has image ker(f). Now $coker(h)=R^{(S)}/\ker f$ is (isomorphic via f to) $E$.
By property 1 and 2, $M\otimes_RR^{(T)}$ and $M\otimes_RR^{(S)}$ exist. By property 3, we conclude that $M\otimes_RE$ exists.
Remark: I guess a didactical merit of this approach (compared to the standard construction as the free abelian group on the product modulo bilinear relations) is that it forces you to think and reason in terms of the universal property and exact sequences. I am not sure if this is also the reason my teachers had in mind.
Dear Yongheng Zhang,
This doesn't address your question directly but rather a special case of it: If you would like to see the construction of the tensor product of finite dimensional vector spaces as the dual space of bilinear maps, you may be interested to look at this post here:
A rather general definition of tensor products, far beyond the algebraic setup can be found in the arxiv papers 0808.0095, 0807.1436. A recent application to quanta is in the arxiv paper 1203.0412.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.
We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.
You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:
Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.
If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.
Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.
But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?
Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.
Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.

In Our View: the End of an Era
No more 'Stop the presses!'
Late Saturday night. The unnatural ca-chug of presses unnaturally silent. From the last days of the Eisenhower Administration to the second term of Barack Obama, industrial walls amplified the mechanical thrum of ink on paper.
At the corner of California and Grand Avenues, the presses are still.
The Herald's print edition lives on farther down Interstate 5, at Sound Publishing's Paine Field facility. Something new, like a house uprooted, feels unreal. No middle-aged editor racing breathless from the newsroom, "Stop the press!" Today, it's empty stools, a cavernous room reeking of blanket wash.
Places of work, the intersection of human and machine, create a kind of sacred space. Four walls and a shared experience of people coming together in common cause like a secular house of worship.
Ask a millwright from Kimberly Clark what they see as they look west across Port Gardner Bay. The imaginary outline of a brick monolith blasting with life; a razed building that ignites memories of shouting, triumph, boredom, exhaustion, hitting quota. Work. As poet Philip Levine wrote, "You know what work is -- if you're/old enough to read this you know what/work is, although you may not do it."
On a snowy February in 1956, The Herald building on Wall and Colby was gutted by fire, as editors retreated to Priebe's Stationary Store on Wetmore to layout the afternoon edition. With the big press "charred and silent," the paper published in Seattle.
Presses evolve. The stilled machine is a double-wide, "double around" Goss Metro Color Liner with two four-color towers, one four-over-one color tower, and a mono unit capable of producing 64 broadsheet pages in six sections. It's rated at 70,000 copies per hour. 1956 it ain't.
A paper has interdependent parts. Production can seem invisible, like a nervous system ignored until that rare time something goes sideways. For lifers moving on like Mat Orbeck and Joe Norton, there is the heartbreak of a lost art. Young people no longer fixed on learning about lithography and offset printing. The knowledge of craft, knowledge passed from generation to generation, falls away.
For years, The Herald's mantra of "yes we can" rang true, press workers say. Management and union, news department, advertising, and production bound together and, by extension, mutually respectful. Production regularly earned 100 percent quality scores.
So what now for a union worker, in a bleed-union town? The painted banner on the side of the Snohomish County Labor Temple reads, "Protect your interest" and "Buy union label." Those shouldn't be anachronistic slogans. The dignity of work and the rights of workers must always be protected.

After Crystal Palace's 2 goal comeback against Watford on Friday night, Ian Holloway slated the way the hornets loan so many players from Udinese.
Holloway labelled Watford a 'foreign' team also mentioning that the system prevents producing players for our country. Crystal Palace's had 5 non-English players in their starting XI for the game, the same amount as in the Watford starting XI.
Holloway also said that his club are getting players from the local area and are working with them. Crystal Palace's match day squad included 2 academy graduates compared to Watford's 4.
Holloway thought that having so many loan players in a squad is wrong. When the match between the two promotion hopefuls came to an end, Watford had 4 loanees on the pitch, the same amount that Crystal Palace had.
As an aspiring journalist myself, I believe that everyone is entitled to an opinion. I just think it is wrong when the media or the public voice their negative views on Watford and our unique system, without looking at the facts or actually researching.
Martin Samuel (Daily Mail) was a classic case of this along with Suzanne Geldard (Lancashire Telegraph). They both wrote negative articles on Watford and got main facts wrong portraying us in a very bad way.
I and fellow Watford fans aren't in denial, we knew that there was going to be an influx of foreign players but the Pozzo's and Gianfranco Zola have managed the situation perfectly.
Watford did sign many players from Udinese and Granada, but the players from last season still got a chance to prove themselves. If you look at the likes of Chris Iwelumo, Joe Garner and Carl Dickinson, they were all regulars last season and were given their chance at the start of this season, but when the management staff realised they weren't quite good enough, they moved them on. The owners kept the main spine of last season's team: John Eustace, Nyron Nosworthy, Mark Yeates, Lloyd Doyley, Jonathan Hogg and Troy Deeney. These players proved their worth and have since featured in the team this season on a regular occasion.
The club have also been good with the young academy graduates. Sean Murray, Connor Smith, Jonathan Bond and Tommie Hoban are all getting a look in after signing long-term contracts showing that the club is serious about the academy and our younger players.
Football pundits, fans, mangers and journalists forget to mention these players when labelling Watford as 'Udinese Reserves'.
At the end of the day, does it really matter what everyone else thinks? We're not breaking any rules and have found the right balance which has worked wonders on the pitch in recent times.
Let's hope that 'little old Watford' can keep plugging away and reach the Premier League a year early than the Pozzo's had targeted.

Is it proper to say "Welcome back" after someone visits Israel because of the lower level of Kedussah between Israel and Chutz LaEretz?

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes, you should always welcome people and be nice to them.
Why would it be any different than someone leaving Shul and going onto the subway?
I can't see the problem with saying "welcome back".
What might be considered innapropriate is "welcome home".
Jews should always consider their country to be Israel. Devarim Rabbah records a conversation between Moshe and Hashem, where Moshe complains that Yosef's bones will be buried in the land of Israel, wheras he, Moshe, will be buried outside of it. Hashem responds that Yosef identified himself as from the land of the Hebrews, wheras Moshe didn't correct Yitro's daughters when they described him as an Egyption. Moshe was reprimanded for this even though he had never even set foot in EY.

How do I know which applications slows down the phone, so that I could get rid of them?
Although you can't find out what apps are 'slowing down' your phone, you can find out which apps are using your battery the most. Generally if apps are using a lot of battery power, they're probably slowing down your phone too.
You can find the list of apps vs battery usage in Settings > Battery.
The Watchdog Task Manager app is really great for these kinds of problems.
There is yet another aspect, Constantly running background (daemon) services that are usually associated with network updates, mails, facebook, sugarsync, dropbox etc.. can get the juice out of your phone very quickly, you need to keep track of such 'zombie' apps that keep these background services running. Look at them once and make sure you keep what you need. Be careful it can have lot of side effects.
Settings -> applications -> manage applications -> running (tab)
Hope it helps you.
I've published an app called Wakelock detector on Google Play which may help you.
In Android, wakelocks can be used by apps to keep your phone running even when you turn off the screen. My app shows currently running apps with their wakelock information.
Hmm.....Try "advance task killer" which force stop all apps except for selected. or manually by going to application select force stop on each application.

Mad Girls in Love (Paperback)
Michael Lee West's indomitable G.R.I.T.S. (Girls Raised in the South) are back -- enduring rough times with all the grace and outrageous flair expected of true Southern heroines.
Bitsy Wentworth -- fleeing yet another relationship nightmare in a "borrowed" red Corvette, with her baby daughter and a recently acquired "demon child" -- has an APB out on her for attempted murder (she broke her ex-husband's nose with a frozen slab of ribs that she purchased at the Piggly Wiggly). Her mama, Dorothy, is writing letters to First Ladies from inside the Central State Asylum, while Aunt Clancy Jane has completed her inevitable progression from hippie to local Crazy Cat Lady. Three generations of unforgettable Crystal Falls, Tennessee, women -- and the men they attract, enrage, and confound -- are courageously plowing through tumultuous lives of compound disaster . . . and hoping the chaos the next wrong step leads to won't be insurmountable.
About the Author
Michael Lee West is the author of Mad Girls in Love, Crazy Ladies, American Pie, She Flew the Coop, and Consuming Passions. She lives with her husband on a rural farm in Tennessee with three bratty Yorkshire terriers, a Chinese Crested, assorted donkeys, chickens, sheep, and African Pygmy goats. Her faithful dog Zap (above) was the inspiration for a character in the novel.

How can I decide when it's worth it to spend money to save time?
I found out that I'm a person who likes to do many things self but I found out that many people don't think like this. They usually choose more efficient way and delegate the task to somebody else and pay him for his service. The tasks can be various - programming, house repair, administrative tasks, bicycle or car repair, scanning of a book, whatever
How do you determine the boundary if it's more efficient to delegate the task to some professional who takes some of my resources (usually money) or that my knowledge, time etc. is sufficient and it's better to do it myself?
Is there some literature on this? Are there some equations evaluating factors and deciding between "do it yourself" or "delegate"?

Moving from Student to Practitioner
I took a gamble when buying "The Successful Chinese Herbalist" and I think it�s turned out to be a value for money purchase. I am currently studying TCM and there is a horrifying moment for every student when they suddenly realise, in a few short months, they will be out of university and having to fend for themselves. This book helps with that transition.
The book partly goes over such issues as the importance of correct syndrome differentiation, however, its main focus is on the "grey areas" between knowing the details of a formula (i.e. constituent herbs, actions etc.) and being able to successfully use that formula in practice (i.e. getting dosages and modifications right for your patient, suggesting why the results you expected never occurred and so on).
Towards the end of the book the emphasis shifts towards the setting up of a "new start" dispensary: what ready-made (patent) medicines, powders and dry herbs are best to start with and what quantities to buy. A trimmed down version of this section appeared in the RCHM Journal of October 2005 (volume 4, number 3, pages 4-8). It�s kind of obvious stuff but, when you are studying, you don�t tend to think about these peripheral issues, you just want to learn all the properties of the herbs!
I believe the bulk of the chapters are written by Bob Flaws. I�ve got a few of his books and generally get on well with his style, although his insistence on giving his views on the use of terms like "TCM" and "patent" grate a bit. They are well-made points but does he have to stick them in every Blue Poppy publication?!
On the whole, a good book, particularly for students getting towards the end of their studies.

At this stage of development, your baby's lips and mouth are well formed, and she can open and close her mouth and swallow. Inside her mouth, her taste buds are now mature, but she cannot taste anything yet because nerve connections are immature.
At this time, you're likely to be over the sickness and fatigue of the first trimester and not overburdened by, or uncomfortable from, a large belly yet. You can also rest easy knowing that your baby is developing well, with very little chance of a miscarriage occurring. Going on vacation is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your partner and pamper yourselves.
Relax and enjoy yourself, but be aware of the extra health precautions you need to take during pregnancy (see Traveling in Pregnancy). If you've had any complications, check with your doctor that it is safe to go on vacation.

Let $\pi:P\mapsto B$ is a $G$-principal bundle, which means $G$ acts on $P$ freely and $\pi$ is a locally trivial fibration. Here is a well-known theorem:
THeorem: The inverse image functor $\pi^*$ gives an equivalence from $Sh_G(P)$ to $Sh(B)$, and the inverse functor is given by $\pi_* ^G$.
Let me explain some notations. the object in $Sh_G(P)$ is a pair $(\mathcal{F},\alpha)$, where $\alpha:p^*\mathcal{F}\simeq a^\* \mathcal{F}$, and satisfy cocycle condition. Here $p:G\times P\mapsto P$ is the projection, and $a:G\times P\mapsto P$ is the action.
The functor $\pi_\* ^G$ is given by assigning open subset V to $\mathcal{F}(\pi^{-1}(U))^G$.
We need to show that
(1). $\pi^\*$ is fully-faithful, i.e., for any two sheaves $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$, $Hom(\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G})\simeq Hom_G(\pi^\*(\mathcal{F}),\pi^\*(\mathcal{G}))$.
(2). $\pi^\*$ is essentially surjective, i.e., for any $G$-equivariant sheaf $\mathcal{H}$, there exists an isomorphism $\mathcal{H}\simeq \pi^\* \pi_\*^G(\mathcal{H})$.
(1) follows from $\pi_\*^G\circ\pi^\*\simeq Id$, which is relatively easy.
For (2), I have checked when $B$ is a point. For general case, I can reduce it to the following isomorphism: $\pi_\*(\mathcal{H})_b ^G \simeq$
$ \Gamma(\pi^{-1}(b), \mathcal{H}|_{\pi^{-1}(b)})^G$, where $b\in B$.
I know for nice group $G$, for example when $G$ is compact, this is really an isomorphism, because we have base change. For general group, I have no idea at all.
Who can help to finish this proof? Or give some other idea?

WHEELING - Fox News host and Wheeling native Chris Stirewalt discussed what ultimately decided the 2012 presidential election and the future of the Republican and Democrat parties Wednesday at West Liberty University's Economics Club luncheon at River City restaurant.
Stirewalt said the Republican Party's distrust of former Gov. Mitt Romney may have tipped the American population toward re-electing President Barack Obama.
"A lot of people were surprised by what happened in November on both sides," Stirewalt said. "Republicans took their best hope, their best chance to beat Barack Obama, but because of their mistrust in him, (Romney) wasn't able to succeed."

SPEAKS ABOUT ELECTION — Fox News host and Wheeling native Chris Stirewalt speaks at a West Liberty University Economics Club luncheon at River City restaurant Wednesday about the results of the Nov. 6 election and the direction of the Republican and Democrat parties.
-- Sarah Harmon
Stirewalt said Romney's need to prove his conservatism to the Republican Party took up too much of his time and set him back during the campaign, especially running against a president who did not need to reassure Democrats of his liberal views.
Stirewalt also said Romney's language and subjects used during the campaign were uncomfortable and off-putting to an American public already nervous about uncertain economic times.
"Mitt Romney suffered terribly in the primary campaign season. Not only did he talk about subjects that were difficult, but he talked in a way that was off-putting and disconcerting to people," Stirewalt said "Obama said, 'I want to work with you to help, to fix, to heal, amend, grow, improve.' Romney was not in a position to do that."
Historically, Stirewalt said, "ideological" candidates such as Obama use language that is "engaging, warm and open" that may have been more appealing for the electorate to hear. Stirewalt said Americans may have been scared off by words such as "cutting," "slashing" and "overhaul" that were often used during Romney's campaign.
Stirewalt also discussed how Obama used "intensive" negative campaigning against Romney that may have prompted some voters to simply stay home on Election Day. He said Romney ultimately could not recover from the negative image that had been projected on him.
Stirewalt also discussed the future direction of both parties for the 2016 presidential election.
"For Democrats, they are headed for a remaking for their party," Stirewalt said. "Democrats don't have any obvious successors to Barack Obama. There is no heir to Obama. The Democrats did not re-elect him in joy and enthusiasm, they re-elected in acceptance and unhappiness for what he had to offer. So, the Democrats need a new phase, a new look and they don't have one."
Stirewalt cited New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as formidable, if unlikely, Democratic candidates for the next election.
"Republicans have a lot. The Republicans in my lifetime have never been bigger. You have Republican governors in 30 states and you have bright stars in the Senate," said Stirewalt, who is the digital politics editor for Fox News and host of "Power Play" on foxnews.com. He began his career at The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register.

Financial hints your spouse is cheating
Don't Waste Your Money
If you are married, would you have any idea if your spouse was cheating on you?
Sure, there are always the old hints like lipstick on the collar.
But in today's high tech world, there are now financial warning signs that your spouse may have a wandering heart.
Follow the Money Trail
Has that wedding bliss worn off? A new report in Money Tree.com says you don't need to hire a private investigator if you suspect cheating.
It says you just need to follow the money trail.
Among the warning signs of a cheating spouse:
- The family cellphone bill gets higher for no reason, due to extra voice calls, texting, or data use.
- They suddenly need a second cellphone, and say it's "from work."
- The mail disappears the moment it shows up: they may be checking for another cellphone bill or credit card bill, or trying to intercept love letters.
- They are gassing up the car more often, meaning they are driving more than usual.
- And they're making more frequent ATM visits, taking out an extra $50 here and there for no apparent reason.
Doesn't That Stink?
And from the "doesn't that stink" file, the biggest financial warning sign your husband or wife is cheating: Working more hours without more pay, especially if those longer hours stretch till 8 or 9 p.m.
Money tree says "Honey, I have to work late" is the most common excuse used by cheaters.
It says if they are working longer hours, ask to see it on their pay stub.
Best Bet: Stay Aware of Family Finances
Even if you have the most loyal spouse in the world, being aware of their finances is a good idea.
That way you can also make sure they are not secretly spending the retirement funds, gambling excessively, or making bad investment deals, and that way you don't waste your money.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Marion County High School in Buena Vista edged out Miller County High School by one point for top shooting honors at the third of five regional archery tournaments Saturday in Leesburg.
Marion County High shot a team score of 3,031, topping 10 other competing schools for the overall highest-scoring team honors at Georgia-NASP Regional No. 3 at Lee County Elementary School. Miller County High School fired a 3,030 team score, finishing second in the high school division behind Marion County.
Marion County High captured the high school division title to automatically qualify for the 6th annual Georgia-NASP State Tournament March 21 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry.
Miller County's Eric Whatley took home highest-scoring male honors with a score of 286 (out of 300), while Marion County's Shelby Carter won the female division with a 273.
Lee County Middle School was the middle school division champion with a team score of 2,706 and Lee County Elementary school won the elementary team division with a 2,832. Both Lee County schools received an automatic bid to the state tournament in March. Lee County Middle's Landon Cooper fired a 268 to finish first in the middle school male division.
Other top shooters included: Marion County Middle School, Madison Nelson (261, top middle school female); Eastside Elementary (Cairo), Chance Scott (274, top elementary school male); Lake Park Elementary (Albany), Kate Douglas (264, top elementary school female).
More than 220 students in elementary, middle and high school competed at Regional No. 2. Schools that did not win an automatic berth to state at the regional tournament can still be selected as a high-scoring wildcard team after the final regional tournament is completed in late February.
The National Archery in the Schools Program is an in-school archery curriculum that meets all education department standards. Only schools that are certified in NASP through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are qualified to compete in the Georgia Tournament. Schools in nearly 80 counties in Georgia are NASP certified.
The program promotes instruction in international-style target archery to improve educational performance and participation in shooting sports. Research has shown that the program, administered through a minimum two-week course during the school year, improves class attendance and behavior. NASP universal fit bows make it possible for students of all sizes and genders to succeed in archery while raising self-esteem levels and improving hand-eye coordination during physical activity.
NASP is taught in 48 states as well as six countries. To date, more than nine million students have gone through the program.
For more information on NASP in Georgia, recreational shooting sports opportunities or to find a range near you, visit www.georgiawildlife.com [1], contact a local WRD Game Management Office or call (770) 918-6416.

I have often wanted to bring my own bicycle while traveling. Are there some international regulations regarding bringing my bicycle on a plane? What should I expect to pay?
Short answer: Yes, it's possible!
Long answer: You will have to inform yourself with the airline you're flying with if they allow bikes on the plane, how much it costs, and how big the box you put it in can maximum be. Also it might be interesting to know if they allow cardboard boxes (otherwise you will have to get yourself a hard-case box to put your bicycle in (which can be expensive!)).
A lot of good information can be found here:
Each airline has it's own rules. My friend carried his bike on 2 trips. Once it was free and the other time he had to pay some reasonable amount extra. He had to pack it/reassemble as compact as possible (turn and secure the wheel, flip pedals inward, etc.). He then packaged it in plastic tape (or whatever this thing people often wrap their luggage in is called) and dropped it at the oversize baggage counter.

Retro Bill wants children to stay on a positive channel.
Using a remote control as a prop, motivational speaker Retro Bill told the students at Salt Creek Valley Elementary School Friday morning to "mute" people who call them names.
"Don't go to their channel," he said.
Wearing a multi-colored shirt and sporting an oversized pompadour, Retro Bill talked with fourth- and fifth-graders during the first stop of a planned tour of the county.
Retro Bill, whose real name is Bill Russ, has been making annual visits to the Leavenworth area for several years to talk to school children about issues such as bullying and drug abuse. But in the past, his visits have focused mostly on schools in the city of Leavenworth. This time, he also will be speaking at schools in the Basehor-Linwood and Tonganoxie districts. He began Friday by speaking at schools in the Easton district.
The countywide tour was arranged through the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office with grant funding from the Leavenworth County-Cities Drug and Alcohol Abuse Council.
"The kids get a lot out of it," Sheriff Andy Dedeke said of the presentations.
Speaking after the Salt Creek Valley presentation, Dedeke said seeing the children interact with Retro Bill makes the program worthwhile.
Retro Bill's tour will include a presentation during a free family night event. That's scheduled for this evening at Pleasant Ridge Elementary School.
The tour also will include an appearance at a Kansas City area Drug Abuse Resistance Education festival Tuesday in Bonner Springs.
The tour will wrap up Wednesday with visits to public and private schools in Leavenworth as well as Lansing Elementary School.
During his presentation at Salt Creek Valley, Retro Bill told the students to make good choices and have positive friends.
He said trusted adults are always there for the students, but the children have to be willing to talk to them.

EMPORIA, Kan. (WIBW) - Emporia State University will honor its national debate champions Wednesday.
ESU is planning a reception at noon Wednesday in the Memorial Union for Ryan Wash and Elijah Smith. The team won the National Debate Tournament Tuesday morning at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. The university says in a news release the duo also won the Cross Examination Debate Association national tournament at Idaho State University last week.
The team will walk through Main Street beginning from the east entrance through to the west entrance in front of the Hornets Nest dining hall.
Allan Louden, chairman of the communications department at Wake Forest University, says Wash and Smith are the first team to win both titles in the same season. The CEDA competition is open to all teams that want to compete, while teams must qualify for the National Debate Tournament.
