I'm trying to figure out a suitable encryption technique and after reading a bit, I figured the current AES 128-bit encryption is suitable for what I'm trying to do. However, this is more due to the wide-range use of AES than any other factor. So I need to know how the AES compares to the other finalists Twofish, Serpent of NIST's AES competition in terms of speed, security in software systems.
During the final round of the AES contest, NIST issued a summary of the 5 finalists on the topics of security, speed, implementation, and such. That sounds like what you're looking for, see sections 3 and 5 of the paper.
General ideas from the paper:
However, this was published in 2000, 12 whole years ago, so it won't have the latest security updates on the algorithms. Rijndael certainly has more attacks against it due to the focus on it. But presumably a lot less has been put into Twofish and Serpent, so we don't know how strong those algorithms would look if they had the same attention that Rijndael had.

text: I'm sure most of you are familiar, and have seen the legendary Wizard of Oz. Well for those of you that don't know, come March 8th of this year the movie 'Oz the Great and Powerful' will be in theaters. The movie has an all-star cast starring James Franco as Oz, Glinda the Witch, and even the wicked witch. Back when Dorothy and Toto were in a search for Oz to get back to Kansas, there was one monster or "villain" that always stood out, and that was 'the flying monkeys' who worked for the Wicked Witch of the West. This lesson is going to show you "how to draw Finley the Flying Monkey", only he is not bad. Finley is actually Oz's friend who travels with Oz on his journey to find himself. Unlike how The Wizard of Oz portrayed flying Monkeys, in this movie a flying monkey named Finley actually turns out to be a loyal friend and ally. If you have ever wanted to know if it's hard drawing a flying monkey, now is your chance. This lesson will do just that. Let me know if you are looking forward to seeing this film. Peace out mi amigos.

I have a bike that I have built up over the last few years. It's a good bike and works as it is, with a good quality components. However, I want to sell it. Is it best to sell it broken down as parts or as a full bike?
Sign up

It may depend on the overall age of the bike but I would guess that in most cases it's better to sell it as a whole. If the bike only consists of rather standard components that one could easily buy at a LBS, then they wouldn't make high prices and the additional work to break it all down and maybe set them all on on ebay separately may not be worth the money.
I can imagine only two cases where it may be better to sell it in parts or at least to sell some parts separately:
Based on my experiences and assuming that you plan to use eBay, I would most definitely sell it in bits for this reason: No one will be searching for your custom bike config, so you'll only ever receive interest on a general level, and never benefit from targeted bargain/collectors frenzy :)
eBay is busy enough now that most items you can think of listing will have a specific audience. There WILL be someone searching for a [insert you particular chainset] or [insert your part-used front tyre] and that person will develop a vested interest in your item because they "need" it to complete their own custom bike, or to replace an exact part on their beloved shop-bought complete bike.
I've done this a lot, both as a buyer and a seller. eBayers will always bid over the top for something they "just want".

Dutch National Season 2003-2004

More details on the company's homepage:
Posted 19 January 2004 - 06:32 AM
as it happens this is my first post on this forum, and I'd like to supply the previously unknown third piece for the Balanchine Centenary come March: it's Who Cares?. It's going to have a specially designed set.
Agon hasn't been done for ages either. I'm looking forward to it.
Posted 19 January 2004 - 10:24 AM
Thanks very much for the information -- as you can see, we have some posters who see the company occasionally (or at least write about it occasionally) but no regulars. We'd love to read more about it, and hope you'll keep us posted.
Posted 19 January 2004 - 03:33 PM
Tomorrow, btw, I'll be sitting in on rehearsals for Van Manen's Four Schumann Pieces. Can't wait.
Posted 19 January 2004 - 03:50 PM
Posted 20 January 2004 - 05:12 AM
Herman, please let's know all about what you're seeing at DNB
Posted 20 January 2004 - 01:09 PM
Alexandra - do you know what's so funny? The way I heard it Van Manen made Four Schumann Pieces for Dowell to make a point that he wasn't too hot about Nurejev's style wanting the Royal Ballet to focus more on Dowell. And then Nurejev got to dance the part anyway...
This time around however Gaël Lambiotte is the first cast, 4SP being revived especially for him. Perhaps you've seen him; he danced in Boston for a couple of seasons, with his lovely wife Sabine Chaland.
Posted 20 January 2004 - 01:22 PM
In its day, it was considered minor. I think today it might be taken more seriously!
Posted 20 January 2004 - 07:24 PM
I worked with them at Boston Ballet and I'm glad to hear that Van Manen's FOUR SCHUMANN PIECES is being revived especially for Lambiotte.
I have a video of Royal Ballet performing this ballet with Dowell in the lead and I love it.
Posted 21 January 2004 - 03:17 AM
Thanks for your response. I did get to see a lot of Gaël and Sabine this December, when Sleeping Beauty (Peter Wright version) was on fourteen times - out of which Gaël had to dance Desiree five times. (I saw four of 'em.) He was first cast, partnered with Sofiane Sylve who has now left the DNB for good for the NYCB, but also took on two other Auroras.
Sabine was a lovely Breadcrumb and a Florine with the kind of filigree point work dreams are made of.
So forgive me for being ignorant and curious at the same time, but did they achieve any popularity in the short time they were in Boston? What kind of stuff did they do?
I'm also asking because I am preparing a piece on Gaël.
Posted 21 January 2004 - 05:34 AM
The dancers and artistic staff seemed quite supportive of each other but as far dancer popularity with audience I cannot say. I only saw the two performances of the ballet before I left.
I can tell you that Lambiotte and Chaland were cast in leading roles, first cast in the Arpino ballet and leading roles in Bruce Well's A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM.
If possible, please keep posting news of them and let us know how Jeanette Vondersaar is doing
Posted 21 January 2004 - 02:51 PM
So you know Jeannette Vondersaar? That's funny. I have never talked with her, but I can tell you that she's had a busy Fall at the DNB - first she was the Queen in Swan Lake (Van Dantzig's version) and then she was the Queen in Beauty.
It was a monster season, but I have to confess it was like I lived in a dream from October through Xmas.
Posted 19 March 2004 - 10:15 AM
Theme and Variations was beautifully danced by Larissa Lezhnina, who is obviously the best for this kind of material. She was partnered by Tamas Nagy, who seemed a little hampered by some kind of injury.
Agon should be getting better yet with tonight's and Sunday's performance. It was a thrill to see the lovely Igone de Jongh between Gael Lambiotte (wonderful jumps!) and Boris de Leeuw (Igone's partner in the pdd). De Jongh was replacing Anna Seidl at short notice ntw.
Who cares?. Great rôle for Altin Kaftira, who partnered Igone de Jongh in the The Man I Love pdd. Am I the only one who feels in this pdd the music just doesn't hold up the choreography?
Great party afterwards. The schedule had been pretty tight, I believe, and so there's that relief of having come through.
Posted 26 March 2004 - 03:08 AM
Larissa Lezhnina in Theme and Variations. This is the quintessence of the material she's made for.
Agon: Igone de Jongh and Boris de Leeuw in a breathtaking pdd. It was like watching Adam and Eve playing with each other in the dark.
The orchestra with Roy Goodman was great in this very tough piece of music.
Who Cares? 'The Man I Love' pdd wit Sabine Chaland and Gael Lambiotte. They are a real-life couple, too, and Gael had told me he was looking forward to doing this. I had to dry my eyes afterwards.
Marisa Lopez in the slinky steps solo (forget which song). Again she's just made for this; Larissa had this solo in the second cast, and her style is too step-defined for this juicy stuff.
Wonderful set by Paul Gallis with a slowly shifting Manhattan skyline, which got applauded every night the curtains opened.
Posted 26 March 2004 - 06:36 AM
Can you tell us a little more? (I'm coming to Rotterdam at the end of April and seeing The Dream along with Duo Concertant and Theme). I'm curious especially how Marisa Lopez took her solo in Who Cares. I'm used to it being sharp rather than slinky, but in San Francisco, Lorena Feijoo did "Fascinatin' Rhythm" (the solo by the woman who dances "The Man I Love") very slinky. Sabine Chaland would have done that, so Lopez' would have been either the "Jumping" solo (Stairway to Paradise - von Aroldingen) or the "turning" (My One and Only - Marnee Morris)

- Abstract
- Data centre power consumption can be reduced by switching off servers during low load. However, excess switching is wasteful. This paper reviews online algorithms for optimizing this tradeoff, including the benefits of shifting load between geographically distant data centres. These algorithms can also adjust a link's number of parallel lightpaths.

Update (by -kp-)
Please note, that any of these embedded settings do not directly influence the print outcome at all, and they do give you control over the behavior of the print device. They only do influence 'the preset values used to populate the print dialog presented by a conforming reader' (as is spelled out somewhere in section 12.1 of the ISO spec for PDF-1.7).
It means that the PDF viewer popping up its print dialog should have the respective values pre-selected. As a user I could still select different values for the actual printing. Also, as a user I can usually set up my viewer application to 'ignore document presets' ...
In other words, this (rather limited) functions will likely only work on Windows, and if you print the PDF using the print dialogs of Acrobat Pro (or Adobe Reader).

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over some field (say, $\mathbb C$). Consider the set $GLI(V)$ of all linear isomorphisms between subspaces of $V$. This is a monoid under natural multiplication (in fact an inverse monoid). Its elements can be represented by triples: two elements of the Grassmannian of $V$ of degree $k\le n$ representing the domain and the range, and a non-singular $k\times k$-matrix representing the map. I am interested in developing a theory of representations of finite inverse monoids (pseudogroups) in $GLI(V)$. What is the structure of $GLI(V)$ from the algebraic geometry or geometric topology point of view?
Edit: It looks like the question is not completely clear. For comparison, if somebody gives me a group and asks what can I say about it, I would try to decide whether the group is finite or infinite, solvable or not, hyperbolic or not, what is the derived subgroup and the lower central series, is it residually finite and what is the profinite competion, etc. I want a similar analysis of $GLI$ (but from the algebraic geometry point of view). One of the goals is to study representation varieties of groupoids (=pseudogroups, inverse semigroups). These varieties are complicated even for easy finite groupoids. The starting point would be to understand $GLI$ itself.

I'm doing a textbook problem that shows a "molecular level" view of some matter, little colored balls, before and after, and there are, among the four questions, two that say: 1) Did a physical change occur? and 2) Was there a change in state?
I wonder, and the textbook doesn't seem to explain it, does the consensus meaning of "physical change" in a "doing-science" context include changes that are not state changes? It seems safe to say that state change implies physical change, but does physical change not imply state change? Is breaking a solid candy bar into two solid candy bar pieces or molding a piece of clay considered to be a physical change?

16 Real Old-Timey Photographs That Will Give you Nightmares
#8. T-Shirts? Check the Back Left of the Rib Cage
The head is actually in the head.
Alexander Dabell was a man with a dream: to run a store out of a whale carcass. Dabell bought a beached whale at an auction, because that's the sort of thing you could do in 1842, and used its bones as the basis of a souvenir shop in an amusement park he founded.
The park is still in operation today, and the whale bones remain a major attraction. "Look, kids! This is what an internal organ sees!"
#7. That Will Look Great on the Mantle
Honor House was a company that sold crappy novelty goods out of the back of comic books. If you had a spare $2.98, you could buy a perverted symbol of your sexual conquests. But in a tragic paradox, anyone who would pay money for a fake head with a "full sensuous mouth" would have no sexual conquests to speak of.
It's obviously a gag gift, but you don't joke about mounting a woman's head on your wall unless you're the sort of person who would actually do it if you could move to a country where it was legal. We can't think of a target audience for this product beyond rapists, unless there was an early 20th century precursor to the pickup artist community.
#6. What Do You Mean It's Not a Costume Party?
Neato Coolville, Flickr
That guy on the right looks so shocked his pants could leap up another eight inches.
Have you ever been to a Halloween party where one guy forgot to dress up and looked like an idiot? This 1950s party is the opposite of that -- one man forgot he wasn't supposed to come dressed as pure nightmare fuel.
What the hell is he supposed to be? And what the hell is that on his left hand? Pincers?
#5. She Was Always a Leg Up on the Other Girls
So this is just another prank photo, right? There's a second girl hiding up the first girl's dress or something?
Nope. That's Myrtle Corbin, who was born in 1868 as a dipygus, which is a medical term for "Is that an extra pelvis? Oh man, it totally is." Myrtle spent her early years in a circus sideshow but later married a doctor, raised five children (using both of her two functional reproductive systems), lived to the age of 60 and had what must have been the kinkiest sex of the century. Are you imagining it? You are now!
#4. No Animals Were Harmed in the Making of this Batshit Craziness
We bet you could get it to chase after two different strings.
If your kitten dies, you mourn its death and dispose of its remains respectfully. Unless you're a taxidermist named Walter Potter -- then you slap four spare limbs and an extra tail on it and stick it in your museum of horrors.
This photo was taken in 1871. Potter's taxidermy museum was in operation as late as 2003, at which point someone finally said, "Jesus, what are we doing?" and shut the place down.
"War is eternal, kids! Haw haw!"
What better way to introduce children to the horrors of war than with a beloved cartoon icon? These masks were made in 1942 so kids could be ready to defend themselves in the event of the Axis turning the United States into the Poison Gassiest Place on Earth.
Thankfully, they were never put to use, and after the war the leftover masks were given to senior officers as mementos, should they ever forget that the universe pumps horror the way a body circulates blood.
#2. Damn, That Almost Looks Like a Pile of -- OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOD
At first, it could be a pile of anything. Then you look closely at the guy standing at the top ...
And you realize these are animal skulls. Thousands. Millions.
Specifically, they are the skulls of American bison, which were driven to the brink of extinction by ... these two guys, apparently.
Also, the 1870s photo proves that what we call a heavy metal album cover people in the 19th century called "everyday life."
#1. And Now, a Lady Fucking a Skeleton
apfelauge via Flickr
Cracked.com and skeleton erotica, together at last.
When you picture life in the early 1920s, do you picture this? How long did you look at that before you noticed the "Hell yeah!" expression on the skeleton's face?
This 1922 photo by German photographer Franz Fiedler was part of a necromancy-themed series called "Fool Death, My Playmate," which sounds like an artistic way of saying "Let's commit necrophilia!" There's a whole set for you to enjoy:
Yeah, you just know someone in the '20s masturbated to this.

Why is it that Noach sent out the Birds to see if the Flood had subsided and when he did find out he just waited for Hashem to tell him to leave.Why send the Birds if you are going to wait for Hashem To leave the Ark Anyway? and why did he not just ask Og who was hanging on outside as described in Pirkei R' Eliezer (23)?

Rabbi Yonasan Grossman from Yeshiva Har Etzion explains as follows.
Although he may have been able to tell at Mount Ararat what the situation was, Noach also wanted to know what the situation was in locations that were further away.
Noach was waiting for Hashem to tell him to leave the Teivah, however he had to do something to show he was interested in leaving. Only after that did Hashem tell him to leave.
In addition, the world was as if created newly again. Just like when the world was originally created the birds were created before the people, the same here the birds went out before the people.

Sharon Osbourne: Lady Gaga is a bully
Mess with Kelly Osbourne and you get the horns Sharon Osbourne.
Mama Osbourne shot back at Lady Gaga soon after the pop star posted an open letter to Kelly on her website Thursday, accusing her of being a bully on E!'s "Fashion Police."
"I am responding to your open letter to my daughter Kelly, and I am perplexed as to why you would go public with an open letter," Sharon posted on her Facebook page.
"Regarding this current situation," Sharon continues, "Kelly didn't contact you, I was the one that contacted your manager ... I reached out to him as Kelly's manager and mother to ask him if you could address your 'little monster' fans and stop them from writing libelous, slanderous and vile comments about my family, including death threats to Kelly," which she received after making comments about Gaga's weight on "Fashion Police."
In response to Gaga's note that Kelly has "chosen a less compassionate path" in life, working on "Fashion Police," Sharon says: "I must say your opinions on what is politically correct and acceptable totally differ from mine, but that is what makes the world so interesting ... we are all different."
Sharon later calls Gaga a "hypocrite and an attention seeker," noting, "it would have been much more dignified of you to do this privately. I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter. Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?"
Kelly chimed in on Thursday evening via Twitter, writing, "I hope you guys realize that I don't care about any of this bulls-! I know who I am I don't need anyone to tell me!... love to all xoxo"

These two cameras have been announced by Nikon just this month, and they appear to be quite the same. However, getting the D800E instead of the D800 costs around $300 more. I don't know why that is since they appear to be exactly the same. I read this could be related to anti-aliasing but I don't understand what that is. Anyway, these two are now the highest resolution full frame-sensor cameras, at 36+ MP. Does anybody know why there's that price difference between these two?
Whenever you digitize something, there is going to be some amount of information lost. When the original is reconstructed, that loss of information may lead to results that have little to do with the original signal. That applies to sound, electronic signals and to light patterns projected onto an imaging sensor.
As long as the things we digitize are larger (have a lower frequency) than the resulting digital signal, then the original can be reconstructed with at least decent fidelity. (The maximum frequency that can be faithfully digitized must be less than half of the sampling frequency. It might help to look at the Wikipedia entry for Nyquist frequency.)
When we try to take digital samples of objects with fine patterns, like regularly-spaced lines, the sensor might not be able to keep up, and when the picture is reconstructed we wind up with a moiré pattern, which generally shows up as an area of false colours in a digital image. Instead of the fine pattern, you'll get a splotch of colour that isn't in the original, or lines running at opposite angles to the lines in the original pattern.
To get around the moiré problem, most small-format (full-frame 35mm and smaller) digital cameras incorporate an optical low-pass filter into the sensor assembly. Essentially, its a filter that blurs the image somewhat so that there are no harsh transitions at a finer level of detail than the camera can accurately reconstruct from the sensor recording. The "ordinary" D800 works in exactly that way.
With the sensor resolution now sitting at over 36MP, though, there are a lot fewer instances where the detail you are trying to record cannot be resolved and reconstructed accurately -- especially if you are working in a studio situation and can change things if you bump into the Nyquist limit and create moiré (changing the magnification to make the pattern larger so that it can be resolved properly, smaller so that it doesn't really resolve optically due to limits of the lens, or changing depth of field are all ways of attacking the problem). In order to get the maximum image resolution, then, it might be worthwhile foregoing the low-pass filter, as medium-format DSLRs (and a few high-end cameras, like the Leica M9) do.
Now, you might think that taking something out of the camera should cost less than putting it in, and you'd be right. The D800E doesn't exactly leave out the low-pass filter; it has a sandwich of filters instead. There is still a thin low-pass filter, but it's backed up by another thin filter that largely undoes the effect. That allows the cameras to be produced with the same basic tooling and tolerances. Leaving the low-pass filter out of the equation would make the sensor thinner, and require different mounting and alignment to keep the focal plane in the same position relative to the lens mount flange and the reflex mirror. The extra $200-300 for the modified sensor is probably a lot cheaper than a whole different tooling setup for the body castings.
The upshot is that the D800E should be able to take sharper and more detailed images, but it does that at the risk of creating moiré patterns in areas of fine detail. Both cameras may have the same number of pixels, but the D800's pixels will be "mushy" when compared to those from the D800E.
The D800E doesn't have an optical low-pass filter (LPF). The filter sits on the chip before the photosensitive diodes.
I suspect the D800E is more expensive because of lower volume for the camera (think an order of magnitude lower), maybe it is also more expensive because it speaks to very specialised users, and maybe even as a deterrent. The D800E will produce Moire or aliasing in almost all photos, if you don't understand what is going on, you might want to blame the camera for that.
Wikipedia has some further explanation WP:Aliasing but the principle is rather straight forward: You have a signal (the image). The true signal has various frequency components, you are now sampling it (put it into pixel, with each pixel having one value). In the pixel you don't know whether the gray value at this part of the image is constant, or whether it is changing really quickly. The pixel value is simply the average of the true values in that area where the pixel is.
The sensor can thus only sample up to a specific frequency (called the sampling frequency). The Nyquist-criterion then says that you can only tell about the signal up to half the sampling frequency. To avoid aliasing you only let frequencies below that to reach the sensor.
D800E vs D800
The D800 is a very expensive and professional-aimed device so I am clearly not giving advice on which one you should buy. The answer is neither if you have to think about it. But I can say why the D800E exist. All (small format) cameras on the market have a LPF included. The D800 has 36 million pixels. That is so much that one could decide to not need anti-aliasing during production and instead put it in software.
The chance of moire with the D800E is very low, because of the pixel density. Maybe it could be a problem with fashion photography with very fine structure smaller then the pixel density of the Nikon D800E.
So I'll go for the little bit more expensive D800E and I will be curious to see what the difference will be with the Leica S2

You may have noticed backed-up traffic on Elrod Rd. this weekend.
The Lone Star Rodeo was in town at the WKU Ag Expo Center.
While the rodeo may come to Bowling Green a couple times a year, for some rodeo fans this was their first time seeing a rodeo in decades.
"We haven't been in a while. We wanted to come see the cowboys because it reminds me of Texas," says rodeo fan Joey Keith.
The rodeo was at the WKU Ag Expo Center all weekend on Saturday at 2 PM and 9PM, and on Sunday at 2PM.

Braun not cooperating according to ESPN report
Submitted: 07/09/2013
Story By ESPN.com
- Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun, who has repeatedly denied using performance-enhancing drugs, refused to answer questions during a recent meeting with Major League Baseball about his connection to Tony Bosch and the Biogenesis clinic in Miami, sources told "Outside the Lines."
The meeting took place June 29, a source said, and is one of several that MLB has conducted with players connected to the clinic. A source said New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has not been interviewed, but a meeting is expected to take place within the week.
A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to ESPN.com that Rodriguez will meet with MLB on Friday but said the injured slugger likely will refuse to answer questions. The source also told ESPN.com that 10 players already have met with MLB but have refused to answer questions.
Commissioner Bud Selig's office is expected to suspend Braun and Rodriguez, along with as many as 20 players sometime after next week's All-Star break, for their roles in the Biogenesis case, several sources told "Outside the Lines." As OTL reported, MLB started building cases against the players last month after Bosch agreed to cooperate with investigators.
The question is the length of the suspensions.
Sources said the commissioner's office was considering 100-game bans for Braun and Rodriguez, the punishment for a second offense, even though neither player was previously suspended for violating MLB's drug policy.

Free water sports lessons brought kids together
Submitted: 07/24/2016
Play Video
- Dozens of people gathered at Three Lakes Watersports to waterski today for the third annual Pass the Handle Day.
This worldwide project was started by two legendary wake-boarders.
People of all ages and levels geared up to ski for free.
One of the boats honks as a skier lands in the water. That's the sound of a successful trip around the lake.
Corey Seemann is one of the instructors at Three Lakes Watersports. He knows how important these moments are for kids.
"It's what makes it special," Seemann said. "Seeing people that have never had the opportunity to come out and kind of live their dream, you know, and see some of the kids just have a blast."
Kids of all different ages came out for an action packed day. Some with more experience than others.
"It's just really fun," said 8-year-old Katie Swendson. "Getting out on the water."
She just learned how to get up on one ski.
For some of the skiers, this was their first time skiing on water.
"Nervous, but once I get up I get excited that I'm up," said 10-year-old Blake Slizwski.
One of the youngest skiers was 6-year-old Jack Westfall.
He went out with only one thing in mind.
"I'm here to water ski to get a puppy," Westfall said.
His sister says they've been trying to get him to ski for a long time and puppy was an incentive to get him out there.
"Little does he know, he's getting a stuffed puppy," said his sister, Anna.
Stuffed or not, Jack had two successful trips around the lake, along with many other kids.
Three Lakes Watersports is open all summer long.
They hold waterski and wakeboard lessons for skiers of all ages and levels

Senator Johnson returns to Wisconsin after Republican Nationl Convention
Submitted: 07/24/2016
Play Video
- Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said he didn't want to spend too much time at the Republican National Convention last week because he wanted to get back to campaigning in his home state.
The senator from Oshkosh stopped at the Lincoln County Fair on Saturday.
He faces a tight races against former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis).
Johnson gave a speech on Tuesday in Cleveland about national security, as he is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security.
He seems pleased with the Republican presidential ticket.
"I think it's really complimentary to the skills Donald Trump brings to the table," Johnson said. "You got Donald Trump with the private sector experience. You got Mike Pence with a real record accomplishment both in the House and as the governor of Indiana. I think it's a pretty good pairing."
He said he wouldn't pay too much attention to the speeches at the Democratic National Convention this week.
"They've got their ticket, we've got our ticket," Johnson said. "They'll make a bunch of promises they can't deliver on. And what we're going to focus on is economic growth, strengthen our economy so we can strengthen our military, so we can defeat ISIS and secure our borders."

6 hospitalized when vehicles carrying Boy Scouts crash
Submitted: 07/23/2016
- UPDATE 5:13 p.m.--Police say six people, including children, were taken to area hospitals after two sport utility vehicles carrying Boy Scouts crashed in Shawano County.
The accident happened Saturday morning on Highway 29 near Bonduel.
Police say one of the SUVs was towing a trailer with equipment. The driver of that vehicle went off the roadway then overcorrected and lost control. The second SUV hit the first, and both went off the road. The trailer flipped and the second SUV landed partially on top of the first.
Bonduel police Chief Todd Chaney tells the Green Bay Press Gazette that one of the injured, a troop leader, was airlifted to St. Vincent's Hospital in Green Bay with a head injury.
Chaney said he didn't think any of the injuries were life threatening.

RED104: Reading 7 (2010-2011)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: English Language Arts
COURSE TITLE: Reading 7
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
Major Concepts/Content: The reading 7 course is designed to focus on using context clues; under-standing similes and metaphors; using punctuation as a key to comprehension; using the library and using reference resources such as encyclopedias, newspapers, and magazines; locating and interpreting graphic information; recognizing bias and evaluating statements of opinion; using study skills such as note-taking and outlining; and recognizing various types of literature. Major topics to be studied include structural analysis, vocabulary building, reading comprehension, study and reference skills, and reading in the content areas. Special emphasis is placed on developing an appreciation for literature and fostering self-initiated reading.
Major Instructional Activities: Instructional activities will be provided in a classroom setting, using basal reading materials, supplementary and A-V materials, magazines, trade books, reference material, and con-tent area texts. Students will demonstrate knowledge of reading skills by applying skills after teaching and specific skill practice have occurred. Students participate in group and individual learning activities such as lectures, discussions, research projects, classroom presentations by students, written assignments, oral and silent reading, and game playing. Additionally, students may be asked to keep a record of their leisure-time reading.
Major Evaluative Techniques: Students will be evaluated on homework/assignments, written work, class participation, effort, test results, use of the library, and book reports. Students will show evidence of reading printed and graphic material with a high degree of comprehension by reading with expression, by using appropriate study skills, and reference materials, by increasing their vocabulary, and by applying reading/ study skills in content area courses.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of the reading 7 course, students should be able to:
- Explain the meaning of derivational forms of words, such as prefixes, suffixes, and root words.
- Develop sight word vocabulary from assigned word lists.
- Use punctuation to express sentence meaning.
- Summarize the main idea in paragraphs, groups of paragraphs, and entire selections.
- Predict outcomes in reading material.
- Use parts of a book, such as the preface, table of contents, index, and glossary to locate information.
- Interpret maps, charts, diagrams, and graphs.
- Summarize essential points in reading material.
- Skim for information, including finding main ideas and supporting details.

Let a,b,c denote the lengths of the sides and let A,B,C denote the corresponding opposite angles of a triangle. In the Euclidean plane we have the law of sines. a/sin(A)=b/sin(B)=c/sin(C). A recent article pointed out that these 3 equal ratios are also all equal to the diameter of a circle whose circumference contains the 3 vertices of the triangle. There is a similar law of sines for spherical triangles. sin(a)/sin(A)=sin(b)/sin(B)=sin(c)/sin(C). Are these 3 equal ratios also all equal to some important geometric quantity associated with the spherical triangle? If so, what is this quantity and does the same sort of phenomenon (involving an analogous "law of sines") occur with triangles in some other metric spaces-such as hyperbolic space?
I am amazed with your statement that "a recent article pointed...". I suspect his fact was known to the Greeks about 2000 years ago, and it is certainly mentioned in every serious trigonometry textbook.
On your question. The corresponding quantity for the spherical triangle even has a name: "modulus of the triangle", M. There is a symmetric expression $$M^2=\frac{1-\cos^2a-\cos^2b-\cos^2c+2\cos a\cos b\cos c}{\sin^2a\sin^2b\sin^2c},$$ where $a,b,c$ are the sides.
Modulus plays a role in various theorems. For example, If the modulus is greater than $1$, then either all 3 sides are greater than 90 degrees, or exactly one of the sides is less than 90 degrees.
Modulus is equal to the ratio of absolute values of two determinants: $M=|\delta/\Delta|$ where $\delta$ is the determinant of the three unit vectors pointing from the center of the unit sphere to the vertices, and $\Delta$ is the determinant of the three unit vectors which are pointing to the vertices of the polar (dual) triangle.
For this fact, see M. Berger, Geometrie, vol. 2. (The relatively modern book covering the subject). The most comprehensive book in English is W. Cahuvenet, A treatease on Plane and Spherical trigonometry, Philadephia 1850. (Poincare once said that this book contains everything one may want to know on the subject:-)
EDIT. Just found more information on this quantity. Will just give a reference: Study, Spharische Trigonometrie, orthogonale Substitutionen und elliptische Funktionen, Leipzig, 1893.
This is a duplicate of this question, which has good answers.

How to Find Abuse Contact Information
The RIPE NCC often receives inquiries from people dealing with a network abuse case, such as spamming, hacking or phishing. The RIPE NCC is not responsible for network abuse. It is one of five Regional Internet Registries that allocates blocks of IP addresses to Internet Service Providers and other organisations, but has no involvement in how these addresses are used. However, the RIPE NCC has two tools available that may be able to help you find the correct contact information to report network abuse: the RIPE Database Abuse Finder and the RIPEstat Abuse Contact Finder. You can learn more about network abuse and how to use these tools below.
- What the RIPE NCC Can and Can't Do
- FAQs
- Abuse Contacts in the RIPE Database
- Available RIPE NCC Anti-Abuse Tools
- Reporting Abuse
- Anti-Abuse Working Group
- Reporting Other Complaints
What the RIPE NCC Can and Can't Do
Please note that the following information is about finding contacts for network abuse. For other types of abuse, such as the violation of RIPE Policies or incorrect information in the RIPE Database, see the section below on other types of abuse.
The RIPE NCC is not responsible for spamming or hacking. The RIPE NCC never sends unsolicited emails, including spam and phishing emails, and the RIPE NCC network is never used to facilitate the sending of spam or any other kind of network abuse.
The RIPE NCC often receives questions about spamming and hacking because the victim searches for information about the IP address responsible for the attack and discovers it has been allocated by the RIPE NCC.
The way in which an individual IP address is used, however, is not under the RIPE NCC's control. The RIPE NCC is one of the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) that allocate large blocks of IP addresses to Local Internet Registries (LIRs), mostly Internet Service Providers. The RIPE NCC allocates blocks of IP addresses to LIRs within Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. How these LIRs then assign these IP addresses, either to other Internet Service Providers (ISPs), to End Users or within their own networks, is beyond the RIPE NCC's mandate.
However, if you suspect that the spam, hacking or network abuse originates from the following IP blocks, please contact us at ncc [at] ripe [dot] net as soon as possible. These ranges are used by the RIPE NCC.
184.108.40.206 - 22.214.171.124
If the IP address falls outside these ranges, we are unable to investigate the matter ourselves. However, you can try to find abuse contact information yourself using one of the tools described below.
Please note that the RIPE NCC's tools cannot provide contact information for IP addresses allocated outside of its service region.
You can also learn more about abuse and what you can do about it in the FAQs.
Abuse Contacts in the RIPE Database
IP addresses that were allocated or assigned within the RIPE NCC's service region and are registered in the RIPE Database may or may not have an abuse contact associated with them. Before 2013, the decision about whether to include an abuse contact was left up to the resource holder once the resources had been allocated or assigned by the RIPE NCC.
Beginning in 2013, the RIPE NCC started implementing a new policy to improve abuse contacts in the RIPE Database. This new policy mandates the inclusion of an "abuse-c:" attribute for all new, and eventually all existing, resources registered in the RIPE Database. Abuse contacts found in the "abuse-c:" attribute are deemed to be the correct contacts for reporting abuse. Find out more about the implementation of the new policy or read the full RIPE Document, "Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE Database".
As the new policy is implemented and an "abuse-c:" attribute is created for more and more resources in the RIPE Database, the RIPE NCC's two abuse tools will return contacts found in these "abuse-c:" attributes more and more often. Eventually, only contacts found in "abuse-c:" attributes will be returned. Until the policy has been fully implemented, however, the tools will continue to search for potential abuse contacts in other fields if no "abuse-c:" attribute yet exists for the queried IP address.
Available RIPE NCC Anti-Abuse Tools
Although the RIPE NCC cannot investigate abuse cases that originate outside of its own IP blocks (stated above), the RIPE NCC does have several tools that may be helpful in finding abuse contact information for a particular IP address, so that you can report the abuse to the appropriate person.
You will obtain the best results if you know the specific IP address causing the abuse (as opposed to an IP prefix/range or Autonomous System Number). You can learn more about how to identify the IP address responsible for the abuse in the FAQs.
Both of the RIPE NCC's anti-abuse tools rely on data contained in the RIPE Database.
RIPE Database Abuse Finder
Users who are familiar with the RIPE Database and how to query it can use the Abuse Finder tool to find potential abuse contacts associated with the spamming IP address. If the address doesn't contain an "abuse-c:" attribute, the Abuse Finder will display other objects in the RIPE Database that appear to contain abuse-related remarks. Users can then query the RIPE Database manually for these other objects, such as maintainers and administrative or technical contacts.
Learn more about how to use the RIPE Database and the Abuse Finder in the second half of this detailed RIPE Labs article.
RIPEstat's Abuse Contact Finder
Users not already familiar with the RIPE Database may wish to use RIPEstat's Abuse Contact Finder to search for abuse contacts.
The Abuse Contact Finder retrieves contact information associated with a specific IP address, and rates the contact found on a scale from one to five stars depending on how likely it is to be helpful in reporting abuse.
Contacts contained in the "abuse-c:" attribute give a five-star rating. If no "abuse-c:" attribute exists for the queried IP address, RIPEstat will automatically search related objects for potential abuse contacts. Contacts found in fields other than the "abuse-c:" attribute return a lower rating, from one to four stars, depending on where it was found and how likely it is to be the correct contact.
You can read more about how to use RIPEstat's Abuse Contact Finder widget or watch a short video tutorial.
Reporting Abuse
If you are successful in finding an abuse contact for the IP address, you can report the abuse to the relevant contact. However, please keep in mind that the email address(es) listed may be for contact people at an ISP providing Internet services, and they may not be aware that somebody is using their network in this way. They will require details of the abuse so they can investigate it further.
In case of spam or phishing, forward a copy of the spam/phishing email, including the full header. In case of hacking, include as much relevant information as possible to make it easier for the ISP to locate and deal with the abuser:
- Explain the situation and why you think it's an abuse case
IP address responsible for the abuse
Date and time (including time zone) the abuse took place
- Log file of the attack generated by your firewall, if possible
Anti-Abuse Working Group
The RIPE community has an Anti-Abuse Working Group that discusses topics relating to Internet abuse and ways to prevent it. If you are interested in abuse topics, you may want to join the Anti-Abuse Working Group Mailing List.
Reporting Other Complaints
The RIPE NCC can investigate reports about non-network abuse cases regarding:
- Internet number resource registrations
- Violation of RIPE Policies or RIPE NCC Procedures
- Provision of untruthful information to the RIPE NCC
- Bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency
- Incorrect contact information in the RIPE Database
- Damage to the name, trademarks or intellectual property of the RIPE NCC
For more information about reporting these types of abuse, please see the RIPE NCC Reporting Procedure.

I posted this on mathstackexchange to no avail.
It is well-known (see for instance Oskendal's text) that if $T>0$ and $$b(\cdot,\cdot): [0,T] \times \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n~~~~~~\sigma(\cdot,\cdot):[0,T] \times \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$$ are measurable functions and for some $C>0$ we have $$|b(t,x)|+|\sigma(t,x)| \leq C(1+|x|)$$ and $$|b(t,x)-b(t,y)|+|\sigma(t,x)-\sigma(t,y)| \leq C|x-y|,$$ then there is a unique strong solution to the SDE $$dX_t=b(t,X_t)dt+\sigma(t,X_t)dB_t.$$
I have seen papers/books talk about solving this SDE for $t<\tau_D$ where $\tau_D$ is the first time $X_t$ leaves an open set $D$. In this case, we may only have $b$ and $\sigma$ defined on $[0,T] \times D$. I am wondering what precisely is meant by this.
One interpretation is to extend $b$ and $\sigma$ to functions defined on $[0,T] \times \mathbb{R}^n$ by defining $b(t,x)=\sigma(t,x)=0$ for $x \notin D$, but if we do this we kill the Lipschitz property and no longer are guaranteed uniqueness (intuitively it seems like what happens outside of $D$ should not effect what happens to the process before it leaves $D$, but . . .). Another way is to use something like Kirszbraun's Theorem to extend $b$ and $\sigma$ to Lipschitz functions functions on $[0,T] \times \mathbb{R}^n$, use the existence theorem to find a solution to the SDE and then stop the solution at $\tau_D$. Since there might be multiple ways to extend $b$ and $\sigma$, it's not immediately clear that this solution is unique. I think you can argue if it weren't (at least when $b$, $\sigma$ don't depend on $t$), you could piece together a solution up to time $\tau_D$ and a solution from $\tau_D$ to $T$ to contradict the uniqueness of the solution up until time $T$. This all seems too complicated though.
I am wondering what the "right" way of thinking about this sort of thing is (a reference to a book would be great).
A useful text that was suggested to me on math.stackexchange is this. It appears the right way to think about things is indeed to take a global Lipschitz extension and then solve the resulting equation (and argue that up until $\tau_D$ the solution does not depend on the extension).

SALIDA, Colo. — A proposal to permanently designate as wilderness tens of thousands of acres of canyons and mountains flanking the Arkansas River in central Colorado is being complicated by gold mining claims.
The federal Bureau of Land Management since 1980 has managed the Browns Canyon area between Salida and Buena Vista as a wilderness study area. As part of that "study," the BLM prevented anyone from mining in the area. But in December 2011, the ban on mining expired and two groups quickly filed five mining claims along the river, which is heavily used for white-water rafting and fly fishing.
The BLM is now trying to get a judge to throw out the claims so it can prevent mining in the area. If mining begins, it would further complicate efforts to protect the area from new roads, more mining and potential development. A dozen rafting companies take tens of thousands of tourists through Browns Canyon each summer as melting snows create a surge of white water, funneling millions of dollars into the local economy.
"All we're trying to do is preserve it as it is," said raft guide Bill Dvorak, who has been leading trips through the canyon for 30 years. "The biggest concern that we have right now is these mining claims. And they're in places where they could dredge the whole river."
Members of Colorado's congressional delegation from both parties have pushed to have Congress designate the area as an approximately 20,000-acre national monument under a compromise plan that would keep open more than 180 miles of off-road trails for ATVs and snowmobiles. Sponsors say there's little evidence Congress plans to act on the proposal anytime soon, so they're now considering whether to ask President Obama to use his authority to declare the area a national monument.
While only Congress can create a national park, both Congress and U.S. presidents can create national monuments. The first national monument, Devils Tower in Wyoming, was created by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 because he felt Congress was moving too slowly in protecting it.

Is there a word to describe something that is not the first element in a sequence, but can be in any other position? A synonym of "not first", in fact.
This element is __ in this sequence.
Is there a word to describe something that is not the first element in a sequence, but can be in any other position? A synonym of "not first", in fact.
The word has been used in literature on English grammar and other fields. Google books records, for instance:
Wiktionary defines noninitial as Not initial.
You should look into things like later, non-initial, non-starting, postponed, and postpositive.
However, I do not think you should use a single word here. Use a clear and simple multiword construct instead. "Elements after the first" is just fine, and indeed preferable.
While not a single word, surely this is the most logical alternative:
"This element is "after the first element" in this sequence."
I think subsequent would be grammatically correct, albeit somewhat of an awkward sounding sentence.
Postliminary means "following in position or time."
Or is defined as "done or carried on after something else: subsequent —opposed to preliminary."
Or as "subsequent, the opposite of preliminary."
(Note: Liminary means "placed at the beginning.")
In the programming language Lisp, the term "head" and "tail" are used to refer to "the first item" and "everything but the first". Alternative form that are also used: "first" and "rest".
"This element is (later on) in the sequence"
The word sequelae at first looks promising due to its etymology: from Latin sequela, from sequi ("follow"). However, it is specialized to a medical sense, "diseases or conditions which are caused by an earlier disease or problem". OED also shows a rarely-used sense, "A person's followers", that is a little more general. The noun follower itself, meaning "Something that comes after another thing", is a better possibility, along with previously-mentioned adjective following ("Coming next, either in sequence or in time").
Subsequent ("Following in time; coming or being after something else...") was mentioned in passing in another answer. Aside from follower, it may be the best choice among common words. Also consider succedent ("That succeeds; succeeding, following") and successor ("a person or thing that succeeds another").
The slightly-odd word comeafters seems to be in common use among service dog trainers, apparently referring to things to train a dog on after prerequisite things have been trained on (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
"This element is (second) in this sequence." "This element is (third) in this sequence." "This element is (fourth) in this sequence." "This element is (fifth) in this sequence."
could be used to describe any element in a list except the first, much like subsequent, and with more or less the same limitations. Both are slightly awkward as they don't have just that single exclusive meaning, but I think these two are probably the best fit out of the available options, without any further context being given.
For the more pedantic people out there, I suppose nth(n>1) would cover it, but whether this counts a single word is dubious at best. As a more compact option, I would propose defining
as having the desired meaning. This has the added benefit of easily extending to concepts like items beyond the (n>1)th in a list.
"This element is the second or later in this sequence."

How do you break bad news to a boyfriend or girlfriend?
I'm in my early 20s and recently got some bad news from my doctor. I told one of my best friends, but she is in her late 30s and can (and has) handle these types of situations and she is also like a mother to me. I'm concerned about telling my boyfriend though. He's a year or so younger than I am and doesn't have the emotional maturity of the friend I told. I'm afraid if I go in to detail with him, he'll get confused and freaked out, but that if I just give him the basic overview, that might leave him with so many unanswered questions that that may worry him too. But I feel like I can't just not tell him. I told him I was going for a test, but I really thought it was going to come out fine, I never imagined there would actually be an issue. So when I see him next and he asks how everything went, what do I do? Or maybe, what have other people done in similar situations?

Face to face and verbally. You could also have a second person there for support if you think it necessary.
@cengland0: I hadn't thought about having someone else there. That may help things, thanks. :)
Just be straight up and honest. Don't get emotional yourself when talking about it - help him draw strength from you and by seeing how you are dealing with it. Relationships are built on being open and honest. And we all have to start learning to deal with this stuff sometime. And I hope whatever the bad news was works out okay for you!
And don't put it off any longer than is practical. The worse the news the sooner you need to talk.
I agree with what everyone else has said before.
Do it face-to-face. Be direct, open and honest. Having someone else there isn't a bad idea, as long as it's someone you're both comfortable with.
Do it somewhere in private, ideally someplace where you can leave but he can stay in case he does freak out and just needs to have some time alone to process. And, if that does happen, and he needs to "get away" to "clear his head" (or whatever) try to convince him to walk somewhere and not drive. Driving while emotionally freaking out is never a good thing.
And, ya never know, he might surprise you, step up and handle it really well.
I hope the conversation and all of what sounds like it will follow goes okay.
I agree with above responses and would add it might be that you give him an overview and ask him what questions he has, allow him to ask so that he can process at his own speed and take in what you are saying.
He's never going to learn how to deal with these kinds of issues if he isn't given a chance. Straightforward, honest, and to the point like everyone else said.
And if you are the one who got the bad news, don't make it about him. It's about you. He needs to step up for you. Don't pander to what you think he needs. It's okay to be needy.
Fact: Bad news is always hilarious iced on a cake.
I hear that you've been feeling ill, headache, fever and a chill.
I want to second what @flyinggirl said - ultimately this is your bad news and you need him to lean on for support. You are right to take his feelings, needs and reaction into consideration since that is what makes a good relationship - but don't go overboard in catering to him down the road if he can't handle whatever you must go through in the future.
And best of luck with dealing with whatever it is your bad news is - we will always be here for you!
@flyinggirl: Thanks, you're right as well. It is me that got the bad news. But I also know that I've been told bad news about a friend before, and it was bad news for me too, you know? And like @mkdr said, I can't totally cater to him either.
@bingo969: Thank you very much! I'm a pretty open book as it is, and most people describe me as too honest, lol. And you are right, people need to learn sometime.
@dw1771: That is a brilliant idea. And that way, if he doesn't want to know all the details, he doesn't have to ask, he can choose to just support me or as @gt0163c said, he might just need time to himself.
@jrpigman: Hahaha, while this is absolutely hilarious, that's not the kind of news. However, if I ever find myself in a similar situation, icing on cake it is! :D
TL;DR Thanks Guys! ♥
I was going to say "drunk" but it sounds like this is something you might want to have your verbal/motor skills present for.
Just don't get stressed about it.. and don't build it up before the conversation or preface it with anything ominous.. I also wouldn't call up and say "I have something we need to talk about.. let's meet up."
Just meet up like normal and explain it to him calmly.. with things like this (especially if it's not something he knows much about) people tend to react more to your demeanor and emotions than the news itself.. if you don't make a big deal about it, he's a lot more likely to receive it calmly.
texy message or post it on facebook. They'll be so mad at you the news will be no problem
Face-to-face is always best. Hope everything turns out well for you.
post-it note on the mirror
@drchops: I should have read this before I called my other friend. He told me I said it so nonchalantly that had I not said "I don't want to freak you out, but..." he wouldn't have freaked out at all. I'll know this for when I tell my boyfriend though, so, lesson learned. :)

Is eternal life in John 3:16 conditional on continous belief in Jesus Christ? The word "believe" in this verse is a present participle verb. Thanks very much!

I do not believe that the grammar alone is capable of determining that. The present participial phrase πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ("all who believe") seems to imply a continuous action, since one might suppose that the author would have used the aorist participial phrase πᾶς ὁ πιστεύσας ("all who believed") to more aptly represent a singular historical act of belief. On the other hand, compare the actual usage of the aorist participial phrase ὁ πιστεύσας in Mark 16:16 (KJV):
Is the individual in Mark 16:16 one who exhibits a singular act of belief, or is the belief in Mark 16:16 no different than the belief mentioned in John 3:16?
Jesus is having a conversation with Nicodemus, who we are told in John 3:1 is a man of the Pharisees (ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων) and a ruler of the Jews (ἄρχων τῶν Ἰουδαίων). Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be born again (from above, γεννηθῇ ἄνωθεν) or else he will be unable to see the kingdom of God (τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ), and that he must be born of water and the Spirit (γεννηθῇ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ πνεύματος) or else he will not be able to enter the kingdom of God. However, though Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus, he frequently uses second-person-plural pronouns (vv. 7, 11, 12). For this reason, many commentators have speculated that much of this context is applicable beyond Nicodemus. But to whom it is applicable is a topic to which we shall return.
The post-positive conjunction γὰρ in John 3:16 clues us in that there is some preceding context which this passage logically follows. Thus we must also look at vv. 14-15 before returning to v. 16.
V. 14 is an allusion to Numbers 21 where serpents bit the Israelites after they grumbled and complained, but they would look at the bronze serpent on the pole and live. The use of the adverb οὕτως indicates that Jesus is describing himself as an antitype of the bronze serpent who was lifted up (which Christian commentators believe to be a prediction of his crucifixion).
The subsequent use of ἵνα indicates purpose: the Son of Man must be lifted up for the purpose that "everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."
John 3:16
Now we return to v. 16, which has a similar semantic structure as vv. 14-15, specifically by the use of the adverb οὕτως followed by a clause denoting purpose with ἵνα, as well as the use of the clause πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων. However, v. 16 uses an additional conjunction along with the adverb (οὕτως... ὥστε) which generally connects a cause to an effect, emphasizing the result. Thus the result involved is usually the combination of both elements in the correlation, further placing emphasis upon the inevitable effect of the paired elements. The NET translators point out that the "clause involving ὥστε plus the indicative (which stresses actual, but [usually] unexpected result) emphasizes the greatness of the gift God has given."2
The use of the ἵνα clause answers the question, "What is the purpose of God giving his Son?" The answer: "in order that everyone who believes in him would not perish but have eternal life."
The Present Active Participle of Interest (ὁ πιστεύων)
Now that the context and grammar of the passage overall is mostly understood, we shall turn to the grammatical point of contention: ὁ πιστεύων. First, let's answer a couple of initial questions for clarification.
Since the participle is articular, it must be either adjectival or substantival (this is somewhat of a false dichotomy as the substantival use of the participle is actually a subset of the adjectival use, and the meaning and translation is not affected in this context). Does the participle agree with a substantive in person, case, and number? Yes - if we count the adjective. But it is grammatically preferable to say that ὁ πιστεύων is a nominative masculine singular present active participle which is modified by the adjective πᾶς (which agrees with it). Thus the use of ὁ πιστεύων would be considered substantival.
Either way, this construction (πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων) should be translated "everyone who believes," "every believing one/person," or "everyone believing." Note that this same phrase occurs in v. 15 and thus the syntactical implications of v. 16 are true also in its preceding context.
Daniel Wallace points out:
Wallace further elaborates in a footnote:
Thus according to Wallace, the present active participle used here as a substantive can carry the connotation of continuous belief as a condition in order to have eternal life (and thus also not perish).
However, there are others who would argue (myself included) that this cannot be entirely supported by the grammar.4 The use of the participle alone does not demand that salvation is only available as long as we continuously believe without interruption. This reads way too much into the text.5 It certainly makes it clear that everyone presently believing in the Son will have eternal life, but I believe it reads too much into the text to argue that continued belief is a condition of eternal life (salvation) solely on the basis of the grammar in this text.
Chay and Correia argue against Wallace's interpretation.6 They argue that Wallace commits the "illegitimate totality transfer," an interpretive error that brings the full meaning of a word with all its nuances to the present usage. Their primary contention is that Wallace claims that the participle is "both gnomic and continual" (emphasis mine), rather than arguing for one or the other. They go on to present a syllogism to characterize what they believe to be Wallace's reasoning concerning the use of πιστεύω as a present participle:
Chay and Correia argue that this is a flawed syllogism and thus Wallace's assertion is not supported.7
Who Is Speaking?
It should be noted that some translators extend the quotation of Jesus' words through v. 21, and others end them at v. 15. Thus it is possible that either Jesus himself is speaking or the author (John) is commenting on Jesus' words. If Jesus is speaking, he is merely continuing his line of thought from vv. 14-15, thus predicting his death and saving work on the cross. If John is speaking/writing, then he is further expounding on the fulfillment of Jesus' words after the fact.
Chay and Correia often rely on arguments made by J. Eugene Botha.8 Botha recently argued that the context of John 3:16 limits the meaning of "world" (τὸν κόσμον) to only refer to the Jewish people, not to modern Christians (which is a very interesting argument that also affects the meaning of who is believing in v. 16).9 If Jesus is speaking, he may indeed have intended his audience to be Jews - not all of humankind.
If John was speaking, "world" (τὸν κόσμον) may have actually been intended to speak specifically to the Johannine Christian community undergoing persecution. In other words, continued belief may be implied in John 3:16, but not in the sense read back into the text by most later soteriological controversies. The Johannine Christian community was undergoing significant persecution and John may have been encouraging them to continue believing so that they would not be lost by giving up the faith due to persecution. This reading seems to take the original context seriously without anachronistically reading later theology into the text.
There are several arguments for a limited understanding of "world," most centering on how τὸν κόσμον is used elsewhere in first century literature (including the NT itself, with a focus on Johannine literature). Some limit the meaning for theological reasons (such as proponents of Calvinism who believe in limited atonement); others use contextual clues. It would be exhaustive and out of the scope of this question to examine every such usage, but one should be noted within the same gospel: John 17:9. Jesus is speaking and says,
Some (including Botha9) have argued that "world" cannot refer to all of humankind on the basis of this passage and others. On the flip side, there is an equally strong argument using this same passage that "world" does indeed refer to all humankind.
Of course it is also possible that Jesus (or John) intended τὸν κόσμον in v. 16 to refer to all of humankind (this is certainly the majority view).
Just as the Israelites who were bitten by serpents looked up to the bronze serpent on a pole and lived, so also Jesus was lifted up so that those believing in him would have eternal life. With this in mind, God loved the world by sending his Son for the purpose that those believing in him would not perish but have eternal life.
Is eternal life in John 3:16 conditional on continous belief in Jesus Christ? On the basis of this passage alone, I don't think that argument can be supported, at least not in the soteriological sense often read into the text. However, Daniel Wallace does - and he's an excellent Greek language scholar. At the same time, there are several scholars who would also disagree with Wallace's reading of the present participle in John 3:16. This is an issue where there are good scholars on both sides of the fence, so my answer is "perhaps." I think it is likely plausible that even if it does carry a continual sense, John is encouraging the early Christian community to continue believing in the midst of persecution (and not in an abstract theological way as is often supposed by later soteriological controversies). I hope that I have made you aware of some of the textual issues so that you can develop a more informed reading of the passage.
1 It should be noted that there are some textual discrepancies in these passages that do not have much bearing on this question (thus they are ignored and the NA28 critical text is followed).
2 The NET translator's note on this translation choice is helpful: "Or 'this is how much'; or 'in this way.' The Greek adverb οὕτως (Joutws) can refer (1) to the degree to which God loved the world, that is, to such an extent or so much that he gave his own Son (see R. E. Brown, John [AB], 1:133-34; D. A. Carson, John, 204) or (2) simply to the manner in which God loved the world, i.e., by sending his own son (see R. H. Gundry and R. W. Howell, "The Sense and Syntax of John 3:14-17 with Special Reference to the Use of Οὕτως…ὥστε in John 3:16," NovT 41 [1999]: 24-39). Though the term more frequently refers to the manner in which something is done (see BDAG 741-42 s.v. οὕτω/οὕτως), the following clause involving ὥστε (Jwste) plus the indicative (which stresses actual, but [usually] unexpected result) emphasizes the greatness of the gift God has given. With this in mind, then, it is likely (3) that John is emphasizing both the degree to which God loved the world as well as the manner in which He chose to express that love. This is in keeping with John's style of using double entendre or double meaning. Thus, the focus of the Greek construction here is on the nature of God's love, addressing its mode, intensity, and extent."
3 Or "be lost."
4 This line of thought could even have results that conflict with theological positions favorable towards this interpretation elsewhere in scripture (such as in Romans 3:24 with δικαιούμενοι).
5 It is somewhat anachronistic as it reads a later soteriological controversy into the text that John likely never intended to address. However, if Jesus himself said this, assuming he is truly the Son of God, one could argue that he foresaw this argument. From a secular, academic perspective this is a moot point, but for a Christian, it could be a valid argument.
6 Chay, F. and Correia, J.P. The Faith That Saves: The Nature of Faith in the New Testament. Haysville, N.C.: Schoettle Publishing Company, 2008.
7 It should be noted that no one's argument is without critique, including Chay and Correia's: cf. this book review (on pp. 83ff., especially p. 87f.) by Ardel B. Caneday, Professor of New Testament Studies and Biblical Theology at Northwestern College. Caneday believes that this syllogism is an inaccurate caricature of Wallace's argument. I have not had the opportunity to fully read Chay and Correia's entire argument, however, so I will leave that to the reader to decide. However, from what I've read of Wallace, it seems to be an accurate summary of his argument.

9 For God did not so love the whole world - only Israel! John 3:16 revised. HTS Volume 61, Number 4 (2005), pp. 1149-1168. Full-text available online at http://repository.up.ac.za/bitstream/handle/2263/12970/Botha_God%282005%29.pdf?sequence=3.
The belief mentioned in John 3:16 is an ongoing belief, not an event from the past. John's intent is clear from other passages in his writings. In 2 John 1:8-9 he wrote,
In order to have the Father and the Son, one must abide in Christ's teaching. In other words, one must obey Christ's commandments, not as a one-time occurrence but as a way of life. (John 3:36, John 8:51, John 15:10) In 1 John 3 he described this experience as 'practicing righteousness'.
When a person sets his heart to know and do God's will, depending on God for the strength to carry it out, then God puts his Spirit in that believer, enabling him to do what that person could not do on his own. This is what it means to believe, or to practice righteousness. Jesus described this idea more completely in John 15:4-6, saying,
Based on these texts (and there are many others like them) it is apparent that this belief, or 'practicing righteousness', or 'abiding in Christ', is an ongoing experience.

Let $\hat{X} = \text{Spf} \hat{A}$ be obtained as the formal completion of an affine scheme $X = \text{Spec} A$ where $A$ is an adic noetherian ring. Given a coherent sheaf $\mathfrak{F}$ on $\hat{X}$, is it always possible to find a coherent sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$ such that $\hat{\mathcal{F}} = \mathfrak{F}$?
According to EGA I (Springer edition), Theoreme (10.10.2), there is an equivalence of categories between the category of finitely generated $A$-modules and the category of coherent $O_{{\rm Spf}(A)}$-modules. In particular, the answer to your question is Yes.
Take $A=k[x,y]$, $\hat A=k[[x,y]]$, and suppose coherent sheaf corresponds to the $\hat A$-module $N=\hat A/(f)$, where $f\in k[[x,y]]$ is not "algebraic": say, $f=y-exp(x)$, assuming $k$ has characteristic zero. It is clear that $N$ does not come from completion of any f.generated $A$-module $M$. (Proof: Suppose $N=\hat M$. Since $N$ has no $A$-torsion, any torsion of $M$ maps to zero, so we can replace $M$ with $M/(torsion)$ and assume $M$ is torsion-free. Then $M$ embeds in a locally free module (its second dual), but that would make $N$ embed in the free $\hat A$-module, which is false.)
