The decade-long popularity of the Viking together with the good reception by the customers of the revolutionary L4751 Raske TIPTOP with its tilting F cab made it natural to also present a tilting cab as an alternative to the L48 Viking.
Further use of the F cab
The modern cab of the Raske TIPTOP was the natural choice, since it offered not only perfect access to the engine (even better than on a conventional N truck with a bonnet) but unique ergonomic properties.
Even if the Raske had benefited from the F cab, the advantages of the TIPTOP cab were perhaps even more obvious for the Viking. The Viking was the obvious choice as a two-axle tipper truck for solo use, having as alternatives the Raske (where less power was needed) and the Titan (where extremely high power was needed).
Benefits that brought success
The F truck model offers unique qualities for this transport task. These consist of favourable weight distribution (necessary since overloads sometimes add extreme tension to the chassis, suspension and the axles) together with the possibility of using a shorter wheelbase - a major improvement in construction site transport where building sites are often crowded and manoeuvrability is of utmost importance.
The introduction of the L4851 Viking TIPTOP took place in 1964. The truck immediately met high demand from the customers, especially on the home market in Sweden. Enormous success would not occur, however, for another year. Then the successor to the Viking TIPTOP was introduced, the F86, perhaps the most beloved truck in Volvo's history....!
The System 8 family
The F86 was presented in the summer of 1965 as part of the 'System 8' family of trucks. The cab was almost identical to the cab of the Raske TIPTOP (the only exception being a larger engine tunnel, necessary to house the larger 7-litre engine). The bench for two passengers in the Raske TIPTOP had given place to a single passenger seat.
Despite the close resemblance to the L4851, the F86 was completely new 'under the skin' (= the TIPTOP cab). All the basic mechanic components of the new F86 truck were identical with the components of the renewed N86 truck, being the successor to the L48 Viking.
The two most obvious changes were the completely new engine (preserving the cylinder dimensions) which was prepared for high-output turbocharging together with the range-change 'R50' eight-speed fully-synchronized gearbox which made life much easier for the driver. With the new engine and the new gearbox came completely new frame rails, suspensions, brake systems and steering systems.
The most popular truck in Britain
Despite the technical novelties, however, the F86´s greatest importance for Volvo as a truck producer lay in its amazing export success. In the mid 60s, the F86 was introduced in Great Britain, and soon manufacture of the F86 was started in Scotland. Result? Volvo F86 became the most popular truck in England, and Volvo became as a result the major make of truck in the British Isles! A parallel history took place in Australia, where the F86 won unique acceptance by the customers and drivers.
A third market where the F86 played a major role for Volvo was the USA, where the F86 was introduced in 1974 and soon became a much-loved truck, albeit in limited numbers since growth in this 'biggest country in the world' can only been obtained after a long enduring service of quality trucks (Volvo has since become one of the major makes of truck in America).
Fitted for any transport task
Perhaps the most important explanation behind the success of the F86 (together with utmost reliability and almost unlimited service life) has been the possibility of adapting the F86 to any transport task, from distribution of goods in city areas to community service, construction site transport (even in the tandem-driven four-axle model) and long-distance transport (with a portable bed serving to make the day-cab of the F86 into a very efficient 'sleeper cab').

For the US Army, everything is on the table.
During the service's yearly senior leader seminar Nov. 20, the Army's top uniformed leadership for the first time called for a look at cutting the size of the squad from nine soldiers to as low as six, while reminding subordinates that the service is shrinking and likely won't be able to afford new leap-ahead technologies in the near future.
And briefing slides referenced vehicles half the weight of the Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV), which enjoys dwindling support among the brass.
Going smaller while focusing investments on increasing the combat punch a small unit can bring to bear will "make us more affordable, yet as capable" as the service is now, one leading general said. A key point is also to become faster and more expeditionary.
One senior leader said that in coming years, the Army will have to "reduce the size of our formations but increase the capability of our formations. ...If we can be more effective with less people it will make us more expeditionary."
A handful of reporters were allowed to sit in on the briefing under the condition that names not be used.
This talk about moving faster comes in response to the fact that the Army will primarily be a domestically based force in the coming years. The idea that rapid deployability to hot spots around the world will be a key to future conflicts is one that the Army is taking very seriously.
This new push has generated a new Army catchphrase: "Speed that matters."
The thinking goes that speed can act as a deterrent to adversaries. The idea was also floated during the seminar that having a rapidly deployable force provides civilian leadership with more leverage and "decision space" in which to politically exploit an adversary's weakness.
While leadership has "latched on to this idea that we need speed to buy time for decision makers, I don't see the policy makers saying the reason I can't make decisions is because the Army isn't moving fast enough," said Maren Leed, a frequent Army adviser and analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
One general complained that "our Army is too heavy and reliant" on the other services for lift to other parts of the globe. The answer for the future, he said, is to "tailor our heavy forces into smaller, more capable force packages. ...The Navy and Air Force are both reducing strategic lift." Without upgrading heavy lift capabilities, it will take the Army weeks to get all of the necessary gear overseas.
But getting to the fight only means so much. It's what you bring to the fight — and the way you fight — that worries the service.
"We have about a five-year gap in our modernization" plan on the horizon, one four-star estimated, and the coming gap "means we have no choice: We have to go to the innovative approach. Our budget is driving us that way."
The "innovative approach" will lead the Army away from simply building on existing platforms and technologies and toward a search for new armor and other technological advances that may pan out in coming years as the service pinches its pennies by placing some key modernization programs on hold.
Chief among them is the GCV program, on which the Army has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars but can't reduce the vehicle's weight to less than 70 tons — a weight that would make it heavier than a fully loaded Abrams tank.
For comparison, the Bradley fighting vehicle, which can carry about seven soldiers — less than a full nine-man squad —weighs about 33 tons, while the 19-ton Stryker can carry a squad.
One GCV-unfriendly slide sketched out the path that the Army wants its heavy troop carriers to go. Tellingly, the vision for 2030 showed a platform that weighed 30 tons, less than half of the GCV, which has been scheduled to go into production at the end of this decade.
The Army has publicly walked back its support for the program in recent weeks, saying that it will likely continue work on the GCV for several years longer than it had originally anticipated in order to get the requirements right.
Two Scenarios
The seminar at Fort Lesley J. McNair was not only to hash out future operating concepts but also for senior leadership to be briefed on the latest iteration of the yearly Unified Quest war game, which pits the projected Army of the near future against a problem.
Last year's fight was against a nuclear-armed failed state that was a thinly veiled stand-in for North Korea. The 2013 version looked much like Syria, with the fight taking place in the failed state of "Sasani," which had lost control of its chemical weapons. Terrorists smuggled the chemicals out of the country and attacked the mainland United States with them, causing several divisions of American troops to invade in order to secure the remaining weapons, while providing humanitarian assistance to the civilian population.
The Army gamed the fight out in two ways.
One was to use the current investment approach to project what technologies would exist in 2030, and the other was to follow a path that would lead to leap-ahead technologies, like the 30-ton protected ground vehicle and huge advances in tilt-rotor vertical lift and "significant investments in joint strategic mobility."
It's no surprise that the team that represented the vision the Army would like to sketch out for itself performed superbly, while the fiscally constrained force faltered.
The less modernized force took seven weeks to begin ground operations, while the "innovative" force was on the ground in two weeks, with the opening assault involving a Stryker brigade being airdropped into the country.
But one general took exception to some of the assumptions under which planners labored. He made one briefer stop in the middle of his presentation, complaining that there simply won't be enough money in coming years to invest in big advances in new cargo airplanes and helicopters that would get troops to a hot spot as quickly as the game allowed.
"Let's assume we're not going to get a significant investment in joint strategic power projection," he said. Instead, planners should focus on "making ourselves smaller."
The Army can't control how the Navy and Air Force spend their money, he argued, and in the coming years the other services will be focused on their own combat capabilities and will not invest in getting the Army to where it needs to go. "Like it or not that's not their priorities. ... We have to control our own destiny, and to control our own destiny, we have to reduce the amount [of troops and equipment] that has to be moved."
It was a moment of clarity from a general who, two years after the passage of the Budget Control Act, which made sequestration the law of the land, still has to remind Army planners that the new normal will be messy and may blow apart some long-held assumptions of resetting the force.

The race to win the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge came down to the last mile in the 683-mile, seven-stage race across colorful Colorado.
In a fitting to a conclusion to a bike race that produced drama every day � starting last Monday in Durango - Christian Vande Velde of Colorado-based Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda came from behind in the final 9.5-mile individual time trial on the streets of downtown Denver on Sunday afternoon to win the overall title.
Vande Velde�s inspiring final ride and a finish time of 17 minutes and 38 seconds elevated him past challenger Tejay van Garderen of BMC Racing and defending champion Levi Leipheimer of Omega Pharma-QuickStep, who had held the yellow jersey entering Sunday�s final stage.
�The team did the heavy lifting for me,� Vande Velde said after collecting his first major victory in five years. �The team took all the pressure off my shoulders.�
Vande Velde, 38, said Garmin�s attack-attack-attack strategy worked this week because his teammates, including Tom Danielson (who was named the most aggressive rider of the 2012 USA Pro Challenge), set him up for victory in Sunday�s time trial.
�I just didn�t go fast enough (Sunday),� Leipheimer said after he finished ninth in the time trial, dropping to third in the general classification, 24 seconds behind Vande Velde.
Van Garderen, 24, finished third in the time trial and collected second place overall after finishing third overall a year ago.
BMC�s Taylor Phinney of Boulder, who recently finished fourth in the Olympic time trial and fourth in the Olympic road race, won Sunday�s time trial in a blazing 17:25. But Vande Velde was a close second, just 13 seconds behind Phinney. His composite time topped van Garderen.
�I just kept getting better and better after a crash the first day,� Phinney said of a spill he took in the first mile of the race last Monday in Durango.
�I struggled a lot in the third stage (into Aspen). I nearly pulled the plug, but I got through it,� he said. �And I had an amazying day (Saturday) riding through Boulder,� he said.
The course took him past his high school twice.
�Panther Pride, baby,� the second-generation Boulder native said of his Boulder High School Panthers.
Phinney averaged a staggering 32.7 mph over Sunday�s undulating course that started and finished in Denver�s Civic Center Park.
�I just tried to keep my speed up and get the win,� he said. �I�m beyond excited to have won (Sunday).�
The first person to congratulate overall winner Vande Velde in the finish area Sunday was teammate Danielson, the Boulder-based Garmin rider who attacked in the first three stages of the race, eventually winning the Silver Queen Stage into Aspen with a dramatic solo ride.
�After riding in the USA Pro Challenge last year, our team really had to look at a different strategy,� said Danielson, a Fort Lewis College graduate and former national collegiate mountain bike champion.
�We all came together, and we all looked each other in the eye down in Durango. We all saw we were in good form, and we said we�re going to make a plan, and we�re going to stick to that plan.�
The attack plan worked.
�Look at those courses. Those are hard courses to do what we did,� Danielson said.
�The biggest thing is we came together as a team. We all came up with objectives, and we never second-guessed ourselves,� said Danielson, wearing his most aggressive rider�s jersey awarded for best overall effort throughout the week.
Danielson capped the 2012 USA Pro Challenge by finishing fifth in the time trial (17:54); he was third before van Garderen and Vande Velde�s ride. He was seventh in the overall standings.
�I went out there and did something I�ve never done in my life ... super-aggressive, and I raced fearless,� said Danielson, who loudly was cheered at the start gate, then playfully encouraged his fans to cheer louder by pumping his right hand in the air.
His victory in Aspen, helped by teammate David Zabriskie, was �definitley the best moment of my career,� Danielson said.
Garmin teammate Tyler Farrar collected the sprinter�s jersey for the tour along with two stage wins (in Telluride and in Colorado Springs).
Garmin, as a team, had three stage wins and, of course, the coveted yellow jersey.
Jens Voigt of Germany (RadioShack-Nissan-Trek) won the King of the Mountains competition at age 40. He won the stage from Aspen to Beaver Creek in a long, solo breakaway, and he took the climber�s jersey from Danielson on the penultimate stage.
Twenty-one-year-old Joe Dombrowski of Virginia (Bontrager Livestrong) was named the best young rider of the USA Pro Challenge. He finished 10th in the general classification.
�It was just such a memorable experience, and to do it in Colorado where our team has so many ties ... it�s a beautiful thing,� Danielson said.
�I think we gave a show to everyone out there that no one expected.�

While ending its pursuit of commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol production in the US, BP continues to invest in and operate its world-class biofuels research facility in San Diego, California, and a demonstration plant in Jennings, Louisiana, to further develop next-generation biofuel technologies.
BP on Thursday cancelled plans to build a
commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Highlands County,
Florida, instead refocusing its US biofuels strategy on
research and development as well as licensing its biofuels technology.
Given the large and growing portfolio of investment
opportunities available to BP globally, we believe it is in the
best interest of our shareholders to redeploy the considerable
capital required to build this facility into other more
attractive projects, said Geoff Morrell,
BP vice president of communications.
BP originally announced plans to build the Florida facility in
2008 with the intention of turning thousands of acres of energy
crops into 36 million gal/year of cellulosic ethanol.
While ending its pursuit of commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol
production in the US, BP said it continues to invest in and
operate its world-class biofuels research facility in San
Diego, California, and a demonstration plant in Jennings,
Louisiana, to further develop next-generation cellulosic
biofuel technologies and license them for commercial use.
Globally, BP is a leading investor in commercial biofuels
production. The company has completed construction of its joint venture
110 million gal/year ethanol plant in Hull, England, which is
expected to come online later this year.
In Brazil, BP took ownership of three sugarcane ethanol mills located in the
Goiás and Minas Gerais states of Brazil in 2011 and is
currently expanding production there, the company
In addition, BP is developing advanced biofuel technologies via its joint
venture investment in biobutanol company Butamax.

I have a 2 year old acoustic guitar . Over the period of time there's a huge gap that has appeared between the higher frets and the strings. What has caused this gap? and How do i fix this.
This distance is known as the "action".
Three things affect the action.
All of these can be adjusted, but it's really a job for a professional, or an expert hobbyist.
If you want to try adjusting your truss rod yourself, read up on it first and be very careful (no more than 1/8 turn before re-measuring).
If you want to be confident of a decent job, go to a good guitar tech.
If you're lucky, you can adjust the truss rod and/or shave (and/or shim) the bridge.
If you're unlucky, your bridge is peeling off.
Take it to a shop to get looked at.
The fact that the gap at high frets is increasing would make me think of a bend in the neck or the front of the body of the guitar first. Can you check to see if the neck is true and straight?
If the neck is bent you may be able to adjust it if it has a truss rod, but if it doesn't then your only option is top take it to a luthier or guitar repair shop.

The 6 Most Embarrassing War Stories of All Time
#3. Two Generals Mistake the Same Enemy Soldiers for Their Own Men
The Washington Post / Getty
The Battle of Stoney Creek was a key conflict in the War of 1812, during which two separate American generals confused British soldiers for their own troops and tried to rally them into action, hilariously resulting in both of them being captured.
To be fair, the whole situation was awfully confusing. The battle was the result of a moonlight sneak-attack by British forces on a sleeping American camp. However, the Brits were being supported by auxiliary flanks of Native American soldiers, who let out a war-whoop that alerted the Americans in enough time to form a ragged line of defense. We have to believe this was done on purpose.
MPI / Getty
"Iron Bear will wake up the Americans, and then we ride out and let all the white people kill each other."
The battle was a chaotic nightmare. As the melee became even more jumbled, American General John Chandler rode his horse out into the middle of the bedlam to try and get some idea of what in the mighty fuck was going on. Predictably, his horse was blasted out from under him, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Chandler awoke moments later to the sounds of commotion coming from the artillery emplacement at the center of the camp. Knowing that artillery was key to winning the fight, Chandler rushed over to try and rally his men to stand strong at their post. He did this despite the fact that he didn't recognize any of the men and that they were all speaking with British accents.
"Hey, would one of you guys pronounce the word 'bathroom'? I'm just curious about something."
As you may have guessed, the commotion Chandler had heard was the sound of his artillery section being overtaken by the enemy, and he had just run headlong into a swarm of British soldiers, who immediately took him captive.
With Chandler out of the picture, it fell to his second-in-command, William Winder, to rally the American defense. Unfortunately, Winder had also heard the noise coming from the artillery section, and he heroically strode into the emplacement to be captured in the exact same fashion as Chandler had been a few minutes earlier.
"Any bad idea is worth doing twice."
Soon after this, the Americans rallied to try to retake the camp, and, as you can guess, they accidentally attacked their fellow Americans instead. Realizing they could not defeat this "British" army, they finally retreated. After just 45 minutes of fighting, the actual (and rather small) British soldiers realized they had won one of the most slapdick military engagements in history.
#2. A Pilot Ejects Just in Time to Watch His Plane Land Itself

It's hard to imagine anything worse than being in a fighter jet that has decided to go spinning out of control. Managing to eject to safety would seemingly guarantee you a badass story to tell at parties for the rest of your life, unless it turned out that A) the plane was actually fine and B) it managed to land itself perfectly without you, as if you were, in fact, the problem all along. This happened to Captain Gary Foust.
During a test run back in 1970, Foust was flying his F-106 interceptor jet when the plane entered a seemingly unrecoverable spin. Upon realizing that the ground was spinning around like his plane had been tossed into God's blender, Foust did the only sensible thing someone would do in that situation -- he got the hell out of his jet.
"Peace, bro. Lemme know what happens."
After ejecting, he watched from his parachute, expecting to see the jet slam into the ground and go up like a meth lab. That is, until one of his wingmen yelled over the radio, "Gary, you better get back in it!" -- which, in Gary's defense, was a ridiculous thing to suggest. All he could do was stare in amazement as his jet, having successfully trolled the shit out of him, promptly recovered from the spin and flew off without a pilot.

"... wow, I feel like an asshole."
Foust's temperamental F-106 proceeded to fly itself in a straight line until it landed almost perfectly in a snowy cornfield below. When police on the ground finally caught up with it, they found the jet's engine still running.

"I wish I had eyes so I could see the look on that sonofabitch's face."
The Air Force, evidently fearful of whatever demon had taken control of the plane, instructed the police to just sit and wait until it ran out of fuel rather than climb in and attempt to shut it off. When it finally did sputter to a stop, the Air Force repaired the damage and put it right back into service, because, in all fairness, the jet was a damn fine pilot.
#1. The Japanese Accidentally Flood Their Own City With a Battleship

In 1940, Japan, although not yet at war with the United States, wanted to thoroughly outmatch its Navy. So they commissioned the battleship Musashi, which, nearly double the size of the Iowa, was the largest battleship ever fielded by Japan In fact, the Musashi was so massive and displaced so much water that, when it was finally launched, it triggered a 4-foot-high tidal wave that flooded Nagasaki.
The ... um, the picture doesn't really do it justice.
Japan really concentrated on outfitting the Musashi with every gun that had ever existed. Its main cannons fired shells that were 18 inches across over a distance of 26 miles, which is almost enough to kill dinosaurs while orbiting the Earth. Unfortunately, there is a problem with launching a ship designed to scuttle moons, and the problem went undetected by the Japanese Navy -- because, apparently, none of them had ever put a fat child in a bathtub.
So, they pushed the lumbering beast into the water, and could only watch helplessly as the huge wave generated by the Musashi went crashing through the harbor and cascading up several rivers, capsizing almost every other ship in its wake and flooding all of the houses along the riverbanks. Despite being dangerous and humiliating, the Musashi's rampaging displacement arguably suggested a new strategy to the commanders of the Imperial Navy.
"We should have saved the ammo and just dropped this thing next to America."
Confused residents who had been confined to their homes to protect the secrecy of the Musashi's launch became far more confused when seawater burst through their doors like the wildebeest stampede in The Lion King. After rushing outside to avoid drowning, the people were shooed back inside their partially-submerged houses by the Japanese military, who either quickly fabricated some excuse, or simply pretended that nothing was out of the ordinary. Hell, it's not as though they would have believed the truth.

Troubled state of the union
Early in his State of the Union address Tuesday evening, President Obama admitted the employment situation remains dicey. "Too many people still can't find full-time employment," he said. The president proposed a "Fix-It-First" program and called on Congress to pass provisions of the American Jobs Act that stalled in 2011.
Both measures stress upgrading infrastructure, much as Mr. Obama's $787 billion 2009 stimulus did. When that package was adopted, White House economists predicted unemployment would be approximately 5 percent by early 2013; it actually is 7.9 percent. As such, there is little cause for optimism about the president's current proposals.

" I always enjoy hearing Republicans blame Obama for the sorry state of the economy, which they have created. They not only blame him, but stand in the way of any progress he wants to make to recover from it. The fact that the recovery has been so slow is the fault of the industrialists and corporate bigwigs, who refuse to start hiring again, even though they are making billions themselves. Yet, the party who props them up still blames Obama. The GOP and their journalistic apologists must really think people are stupid. The Republican Party is a roadblock of "no" votes to any progress, until they have power themselves, so that they can take credit for it themselves. Pitiful. "

Ok, this is the closest forum that I could find to post this question on StackExchange. I think this question is appropriate for this forum too.
Isn't Nor'easter supposed to move from the Northeast to Southwest, hence its name? But the recent Nor'easter that hit the Northeast right after Hurricane Sandy seems to have moved from the southwest to northeast, according to the meteorologic graphics that were shown all day long on TV. Can someone explain?

In my current game, two of my players are always on the lookout for "get rich quick" schemes and they are looking into establishing trade routes between cities to make money.
That led to great roleplay moments where they search for raw materials and finished products producers and bargain for prices, but I wonder if there are rules for this kind of thing. Maybe some other game system than D&D 3.5 includes commerce and can be used as inspiration?
More specifically:
- What can be the expected profit margin?
- How can randomness be included in the process? (Caravans ambushed, ships sinking, market crash, etc.)

I would like an example of a J-structure $(J^A,B)$ which is not acceptable and one that is not 1-sound.
Edit:Let us recall that a structure $J^A_\alpha$ is acceptable if for every limit ordinal $ \xi<\alpha $. $J^A_{\xi+\omega}\models \vert \xi\vert\leq \vert \tau\vert $, whenever $\tau<\xi$ and satisfies ${\mathcal P}(\tau)\cap J^A_{\xi+\omega}\not \subset J^A_\xi $
A structure $J^A_\alpha$ is 1-sound if the 1-standard parameter is a very good parameter.
(I'm using the notation in Zeman's article in the handbook of set theory)
It is known that $J_\alpha$ are acceptable and sound for every ordinal $\alpha$. Moreover, being acceptable and sound is needed for almost all basic results concerning the $J^A_\alpha$ hierarchy.

Camelia M. Valdes was drawn to criminal justice at an early age. Born in the Bronx, New York to immigrant Dominican parents, raised in Newark, New Jersey and having experienced the ravages of crime in those communities, she resolved to find a meaningful way in which to contribute to advancing the law and public safety.
A first-generation college student, Valdes majored in sociology and criminal justice at Seton Hall University. She recognized that a J.D. would afford her with a powerful advocacy tool and chose Rutgers School of Law–Newark "because of its strong tradition and record of public advocacy."
Camelia Valdes '96
"Savor every moment of the law school experience and every lesson," Valdes advises current students. She speaks fondly of her Rutgers' years, noting in particular the camaraderie and support of her professors and classmates. "Among some of my favorite classes, I enjoyed Professor Gary Francione's Criminal Law class, Professor Charles Jones's Race and the Law Seminar, Professor Twila Perry's Torts class and," she adds, "luckily I survived Professor Ronald Chen's Contracts class."
Admittance into the "Minority Student Program family" by Dean Janice Robinson, MSP dean at the time, was her best law school experience. The Minority Student Program was "an important foundation for my success," says Valdes, who credits the program's support system and strong incentive to do well. "I took the responsibility of being an MSP student very seriously, because I knew my success would be MSP's success. MSP graduates have led remarkable careers in public service and I wanted to be part of that rich tradition."
Valdes' determination and assurance are evident in her message to Rutgers law students: "Focus on the work, one course at a time. Pay attention to the legal principles, seek out writing opportunities, and do not be consumed with figuring out the rest of your career. You already have everything you need inside of you. Do not let anyone distract you from what you want to do." Evident too is her support for mentoring and opportunity initiatives: "Plan to achieve but remember you are not alone in this struggle. All of us have to work hard every day to be better and to do better. There are people in your life right now that can help make it happen for you. For me, it is believers and cheerleaders who speak possibility and hope into my life."
"While the role of prosecutor allows me the opportunity to investigate and prosecute crimes, it also affords me the opportunity to advocate for victims and seek justice."
Since receiving her J.D. in 1996, Valdes has dedicated her career to government service, almost exclusively as a prosecutor. Explaining the attraction of the position, she says, "While the role of prosecutor allows me the opportunity to investigate and prosecute crimes, it also affords me the opportunity to advocate for victims and seek justice."
Valdes began her career as a municipal prosecutor for the City of Newark and as a staff attorney at the Newark Teachers Union. She subsequently served as a deputy attorney general in the Division of Criminal Justice, as an assistant counsel in the Governor's Counsel's Office under Gov. Christine Todd Whitman and Acting Gov. Donald DiFrancesco, and as an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey. Her federal prosecutorial experience ranged from the prosecution of white collar crimes and financial fraud against the government to the investigation and successful prosecution of federal criminal matters involving counter-terrorism, human trafficking, immigration offenses, drug and firearm related offenses and health care fraud crimes. Along the way she also found time to, among other activities, earn her LL.M. in Trial Advocacy from Temple University, serve as president of the Hispanic Bar Association and a trustee of the New Jersey State Bar, marry and have two children.
Sworn in as Passaic County Prosecutor in June 2009, Valdes made history as the first Latina county prosecutor in New Jersey, the first woman prosecutor in Passaic County, and the first lead prosecutor of Dominican ancestry in the United States.
Seven months into the job, Valdes has found the most difficult challenge to be working through the multi-dimensional issues of crime. She explains: "Working with other county and state stakeholders to address the complexity of criminal justice issues proactively is difficult when the Prosecutor's Office must react and respond to daily emergent issues." As for her position as New Jersey's first Latina prosecutor, "my ethnicity has everything and nothing to do with the role I play," she says. "What I mean by that is that while my life experiences certainly shape my view of the world, as the chief law enforcement officer in Passaic County I am concerned with three main things: facts, evidence and the law."
Valdes has achieved a prominent position in a relatively short time out of law school. Asked to what she attributes her success and what career advice she would give others, she offers: "A wise man and dear friend, Christopher J. Christie, once told me that I would honor where I came from, and who I came from, by doing the best I could do in my work. After all, when the celebrations of this accomplishment fade, the work will remain and it is by the work and the choices I make, and not my age, gender, or ethnicity, that I will be judged.
"The secret, therefore, of my success is my absolute resolve to work tirelessly on behalf the public. Tenacity and the drive for achievement are my tributes to: 1) the sacrifices my parents made for my sisters and me, 2) the confidence my friends and colleagues place in me, and 3) my desire to contribute to safer communities.
"My personal advice is to reflect on your individual passion and then seek work experiences that reflect that passion. Work then will not be work but instead will become your life mission. I encourage all of you then to learn as much about the law and the rules as you can. The more informed you are, the more informed our communities can be. Focus on your work. Be accountable to your own development and seek out opportunities to show your gifts and talents. I realize I am asking you to do hard work, but I promise you this – If you establish your experience and develop a reputation for your work ethic, your body of work and legacy will be unquestionable."

A Guide to the New Rules of Parenting: Why Babies Can't Sleep on Their Stomach and Moreby Erin Dower
Parenting practices, trends, and tools are always evolving. If you're an expectant mom or grandparent who's more familiar with parenting trends from the disco era, use this list to catch up on today's written and unwritten rules of raising a baby. From the latest equipment safety guidelines to new feeding and sleep recommendations, quite a few things have changed in the past few decades!
1 of 11
Sleep Position for Baby
What's Out: Placing a baby facing down on her belly to sleep
What's In: Always placing a baby on her back to sleep, until he is strong enough to roll over from his back to his tummy on his own (usually around age 6 months)
Why? In previous decades, parents would sometimes place their infant on their tummy to sleep to help ward off a flat head and also in hopes of preventing their baby from choking on spit-up, but pediatricians now recommend that infants always be placed on their back for sleep in order to reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). These days, babies only do "tummy time" when they're awake and alert.

A recent university study found undocumented immigrants in Chicago to be strongly committed to working in the U.S. and making significant contributions to the economy. Undocumented workers typically experienced tremendous disadvantages in the labor market despite work experience and human capital accumulations.
Legal Status Implications
In a recent study published by the University of Illinois at Chicago's Center for Urban Economic Development, experts interviewed 1,653 documented and undocumented workers living in the Chicago metro area in an attempt to understand the degree to which the lack of legal status inhibits workers from receiving equal treatment in the workplace.
Using a standardized questionnaire, immigrants were asked a series of questions regarding how legal status impacts wages, unsafe working conditions, and whether or not they utilize government safety-net programs. The following information is the results of the survey.
The Wage Parity
Undocumented status imposed significant earnings penalties and barriers to better jobs. Overall, the median hourly wage for undocumented workers in Chicago was $7.00 an hour, while immigrants with legal status earned $9.00. In addition, 10% of undocumented immigrants reported they were paid less than the federal minimum wage ($5.15) in their current job.
Apart from legal status, the wage model also indicated other factors that caused a decline in potential wage earnings. Origin, gender and racial discrimination were all considered important variables in determining the results of the survey. Importantly, educational attainment, English proficiency, and additional U.S. residency did not offset the negative wage effect of working without legal status.
Working Conditions
Undocumented workers more commonly experience unsafe working conditions than do immigrants with legal status. Among the respondents 28% of all immigrants surveyed reported they are employed at locations with unsafe conditions. Of those who reported their current job was unsafe, 69% were undocumented and the majority were of Latin-American origin. Despite the large number of unsafe workplaces, few immigrants reported the poor conditions to the authorities due to fear of deportation or punishment from employer.
Exploitation of undocumented workers was also evident in the reports of alleged wage and hour violations and the lack of access to health insurance. Only 25% of undocumented workers were covered by health insurance. Unfortunately, for most immigrants, either the employer did not offer health insurance or the plan was too expensive for them to access.
No Safety-Net for Immigrants
The vast majority of undocumented immigrants reported they, and members of their household, do not receive any assistance under government safety-net programs.
Overall, only 12% of undocumented respondents reported that an adult in their household was receiving low-income benefits on either a state or local level. Less than half of the working immigrants surveyed accessed insurance through their employer, making government emergency health services all the more important.
Local Economic Contributions
With an estimated 220,000 undocumented immigrants living the Chicago metro area, the consumer expenditures by this group generate more than 31,000 jobs in the local economy and contribute $5.45 billion annually to the gross regional product, according to the regional economic model that calculates the values of goods and service consumed with each dollar spent.
The economic impact of undocumented workers goes well beyond the local economy. Despite the common perception that immigrants utilize government benefit programs without paying taxes, the survey found that nearly 70% of all undocumented workers paid taxes. The same data also suggests that immigrants did not claim any tax refunds for which they were eligible.
Several other research groups found similar data to support these findings. According to a report prepared in 1990, undocumented immigrants paid $547 million in Illinois state tax, while the national aggregate contribution equaled $7 billion. Surprisingly, The Urban Institute also found that undocumented immigrants contributed a national total of $2.7 billion to Social Security and another $168 million to unemployment insurance taxes, both programs they will be unable to access because of their legal status.
The undocumented workers residing in Chicago and the rest of America are the foundation of the domestic labor force and "support thousands of other workers within their respective local economies".
This study strongly suggests that a new regularization program would improve undocumented workers' wages, working environments, health insurance rates, and allow much needed access to government safety-net programs. Additionally, any increase in wages translates into increased tax contributions and economic stimulus, thereby creating more new jobs.

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and let $X$ be an $A$-bimodule. Is there a notion of (relative) injectivity for $X$ which would imply that $\mathcal{H}^n(A,X)$ vanishes for all $n\ge 1$? Here $\mathcal{H}^n(A,X)$ denotes the continuous Hochschild cohomology of $A$ with coefficients in $X$ ($X$ can be assumed to be dual $A$-bimodule).
I expected there is such a notion, but after reading books by Helemskii, Runde and a few other sources on cohomology of Banach algebras I can't seem to find a general statement of this type, even though versions of projectivity and injectivity are discussed there.

Technology Levels
|Phase 1
|Pre-space flight civilisations. These would range from stone age societies through to those at a technology level roughly equal to Earth's early twentieth century, such as the "Romans" in TOS's "Bread and Circuses"..
|Phase 2
|Early space flight civilisations. These are capable of simple space flight, but not warp travel. Examples would be the Valakians from Enterprise's "Dear Doctor", or the Malcorians from TNG's "First Contact". (the episode, not the movie).
|Phase 3
|More mature space flight civilisations, with warp drive and interstellar colonies. Humanity would be crossing into this phase in "Star Trek : First Contact"; the Federation and other major Alpha Quadrant players would also be in this phase, as would species such as the Dominon and Borg.
|Phase 4
|The super-aliens. These have acquired the ability to manipulate matter and space in ways not apparent to more lowly species. Examples would include the Organians, the Douwd, and ultimately the Q.
The simplest model of how a species would progress in Star Trek is to begin as a stone age culture, progress to using metal tools, machines, etc., then develop space flight, eventually invented warp drive and became the sort of multi-planet culture which the Federation or Klingons are, then eventually become a super-species.
The super-aliens in Trek don't seem to be technology users at all - rather, it appears that at some point most species undergo a radical single-generation mutation which gives them extraordinary powers to manipulate matter, space and even time. Yet this doesn't seem to happen to a species until it has passed through the other phases - that is, we don't ever see stone age primitives suddenly changing into super-aliens the way that we see spacefaring species like that in TNG's "Transfigurations" do. This change is usually - and wrongly - labeled as evolution, and apparently the writers are saying that intelligent species pass through the other phases as a natural progression toward the God-like status of the super-aliens.
Once a species has crossed this barrier it seems that further progress is limited to increasing the level of these abilities, with the Q apparently representing the ultimate development of life in the Trek universe.
Looking back at Human history, we first started tool-using some 2 million years ago. Phase 2 is vastly smaller - we moved into it in 1957 when Sputnik I was launched and on the Trek timeline we moved on into Phase 3 in 2063 with the launch of the Phoenix. Even if we say that the warp-5 capable NX class represents the first "true" Human warp ship, the whole of phase 2 still lasts less than 200 years.
How long Phase 3 lasts appears to be quite variable. As mentioned earlier, we saw a species undergoing the change in TNG's "Transfigurations". Those aliens didn't seem to be all that far ahead of the Federation, certainly no more than a century or so. On the other hand the Borg have been developing for "thousands of centuries", while the Voth species seen in Voyager have been in Phase 2 / 3 for approximately sixty five million of years.
We know that as of the TNG era Humans have remained Phase 3 two or three centuries, again depending on where you draw the 2/3 boundary. We don't seem all that close to becoming super-aliens - we have seen Humans from many centuries in the future who don't seem different from those of the present day, so the change is certainly not imminent. But looking at the rate of technological advance typical amongst Humans, it's hard to believe that we're still going to be in Phase 3 in, say, another ten thousand years.
Phase 4 has the most questionable span of all. It seems to be open-ended, i.e. once you have crossed the barrier to being a super-alien, you stay that way essentially forever. We know that the Q have been around for some billions of years at least, and there is no real reason why a super-alien should not continue to exist literally forever.
So while there is a lot of guesswork here, it seems that a species should spend a large chunk of time in Phase 1, virtually none in Phase 2, stay in Phase 3 for a while, and then stay in Phase 4 for the longest time of all.
If every species followed this path then the number of species in each phase would be directly proportional to the average time a species spends in each phase. This would mean that almost every species you would meet would be either a super-alien or a stone age primitive. Very few would be warp capable societies such as the Federation, whilst almost none at all would be Phase 2 civilisations capable of space flight but not warp.
This is a little simplistic, though, because not every species will make a progression through all phases and end up as a super-alien. Some will become extinct along the way, either wiping themselves out through warfare or ecological mismanagement, or being wiped out by others. Some will also be extinguished by natural disasters.
Once more, we can only guess about how common this type of thing is. Judging from Earth's history, natural disasters capable of wiping out large sections of life on a planet seem to be quite rare, one every few tens of millions of years or so, but Earth may not be typical. The planet Jupiter has swept up a lot of the asteroidal debris left over from the formation of our system, making impacts on Earth far less common than they would otherwise be. Systems with an inhabited planet without such a handy gas giant nearby might suffer impacts every million years or less. Civilisations on these worlds might never have time to make it out of Phase 1, if indeed they could evolve at all.
We have also heard of some species in Trek becoming extinct when their star went supernova. This must surely count as the ultimate natural disaster, but it would only come at the end of the star's life and this should, for a normal star, leave some billions of years for a civilisation to evolve and develop. Certainly our own sun's ultimate death is so far away (about four or five billion years) that we should have plenty of time for our 'evolution' to run its course in the meantime.
If it is hard to pin down how likely a species is to suffer a catastrophic natural disaster, acts of war are even more difficult to judge. We can say with reasonable certainty that no Phase 1 species should be able to wipe itself out in a war - the kind of world-wide weaponry and culture required just don't exist until Phase 2.
Once in Phase 2 a culture would by definition have the means to deliver weapons to any part of its planet, and should certainly have the technology to manufacture warheads with the yield to destroy cities en masse. At this point wars which could completely wipe out the civilisation become possible, and indeed even easy once biological weapons become widespread. This is, of course, the point at which Humanity stands right about now.
In Phase 3 the likely hood of destroying yourself would fall significantly. Although the weapons grow in power to a point where destroying a even a whole planetary surface is relatively easy, the spreading out of your population base to thousands of planets along with the large number of warp driven ships available ensure that even a massive war will always leave some survivors. One only needs to look at the El Aurians for a perfect example - even faced with the overwhelming might of the Borg, there were survivors who escaped and subsequently flourished. Guinan confidently predicted that in a worst case scenario Humanity could do the same. A similar argument applies to natural disasters - as of the 24th century rendering Humans extinct would take a disaster which could quickly destroy a large section of our galaxy, something which is unlikely in the extreme. Only deliberate action on the part of a Q-like entity could render a serious Phase 3 society extinct.
If we can only generalise as to how vulnerable a society is to extinction at each stage, we can say with certainty that this does happen in Star Trek, and that the effects would be to lower the number of Phase 2, 3 and 4 civilisations as compared to Phase 1. If anything this should mean that even fewer of the aliens we see in Trek should be in Phases 2 and 3, while Phase 4 aliens should be rarer but still very common.
Obviously, this is not the case. In fact most of the civilisations we meet in Trek are within a few decades one way or the other of the the Federation. The real reason for this is dramatic necessity. Writers can tell a far wider variety of stories if they are dealing with alien species similar to the heroes than they can dealing with either a stone age or a super-advanced alien. But we don't deal in reality here...
In fact, though, the apparent commonness of Phase 3 aliens can be explained fairly easily. It's not that the Phase 1s and 4s aren't out there in large numbers, but rather that Starfleet would rarely interact with either of them. In the TOS episode "Bread and Circuses" we get a description of the Prime Directive as it applies to a primitive civilisation :
Spock :
|"Then the prime directive is in full force Captain."
Kirk :
|"No identification of self or mission. No interference with the social development of said planet."
McCoy :
|"No references to space or the fact that there are other worlds or more advanced civilizations..."
With these restrictions in place, there would be very little for Starfleet to do on such a world. We know that the Federation plants research teams on primitive planets to observe the locals, especially as they begin to move into space, but that seems to be about it. So you would expect a Starfleet ship to stop at such a planet only rarely.
At the other end of the scale, most Phase 4 civilisations seem to be pretty wary of interacting with us. The Douwd, the Organians and the Metrones all declined to reveal themselves to Humans until the Humans forced their hand in some way. The Traveler said that his people found Humanity too boring to visit until recently. In fact, of all the super-aliens we have seen only the Q seems to take any active interest in us, and even then it's only one of those. Given their abilities, it's certain that the Federation isn't going to be able to interact with any super-alien who doesn't want to talk, so it's little wonder that such contacts are rarely seen.
So we are left with a situation in which the Phase 1 and 4 aliens are the commonest in the Galaxy, but are the most rarely visited, while the Phase 2 and 3 civilisations are the rarest, but most commonly visited. And between the Phase 2 and Phase 3 aliens, the Phase 3 are going to be by far the more common. So we end up with a situation in which most species the Federation interacts with are going to be space faring warp drive civilisations - which is what we do indeed see on the show.
While we can make a good case to explain why most species that we see are in Phase 3, this only goes part way toward answering why those species are, in general, so exactly alike. We have already said that Phase 3 could cover tens of thousands of years; certainly it covers everything from at least the NX class Enterprise all the way up to Borg cubes and Voth city ships, or even up to the likes of the Dyson sphere builders from TNG's "Relics" who would be formidable indeed. Yet if you look at civilisations like the Federation, Romulans, Klingons, Ferengi, Breen or Cardassians, it is clear that their technology is restricted to a very narrow range indeed - certainly they are within a few decades of one another. And most other civilisations which we meet are within this same narrow band. How is this possible?
Again, the real reason is dramatic. Even a few decades worth of technological advantage would make one species all but unbeatably superior to another. If such species were around on a regular basis, it would be hard to stop the show from revolving around them rather than the Federation. When the Borg / Dominion / whoever invade the Alpha Quadrant, how could you not have the biggest, most advanced species around get involved in that?
However, as I said earlier I don't deal in reality. We need a Trek reason why there are few if any radically advanced Phase 3 civilisations around.
One possibility is that they have been wiped out. Assume that some terrible invader swept through the alpha quadrant; that the destruction was complete enough and long enough ago that few records survive about them. If we peg this as being say about a couple of thousand years ago, then we could speculate that the attackers left primitives such as Humanity pretty much alone, but eliminated all the major space faring species of the time. In the aftermath a new crop of civilisations grew up, all starting at roughly the same place. This would go a long way toward evening out large technological differences amongst the alpha quadrant powers.
It would still be unlikely that everybody would still be within a couple of decades of one another by the 24th century purely by random chance, but it's a little more believable than having the same thing happen after tens of thousands of years. Besides, trading between different species would tend to level out small technology differences anyway.
The obvious choice for this terrible invader might seem to be the Borg, but in fact they seem to have been victims of exactly this kind of attack themselves. In Best of Both Worlds, Guinan says that the Borg have been evolving their biological / technological mix for "thousands of centuries". Yet in the Voyager episode "Dragon's Teeth", Gaul says that the Borg were a very primitive species who nobody worried much about only a thousand years ago. This implies that the Borg underwent some sort of catastrophe somewhere in their history, and only began to recover about a thousand years ago. If this catastrophe was an attack - and it would almost have to be, since we have already established that any Phase 3 civilisation is all but immune to natural disasters - then the attacker would have to be extremely powerful to be able to smash the Borg down to almost nothing. Such an attacker should be able to wipe out Federation-style civilisations with ease.
Whilst we have to jump through a few hoops to explain the similarities in the technological levels of the major powers in Star Trek, I hope I've shown that it's not all that farfetched. The idea that the Federation is only likely to interact with other Phase 3 species is based on a mix of canon and simple common sense. Explaining why all Phase 3 powers are similar does need some speculation, but even that ties in nicely with some canon history.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- A court hearing for a Junction City minister charged in several child molestation cases involving young boys has been pushed back.
A status hearing for Jordan Young was continued Thursday because his attorney had a family emergency, prosecutors said.
Young is facing charges in six cases involving separate underage victims.
He has been behind bars since August when the Junction City Police Department launched an investigation into reports of sexual misconduct at Faith Tabernacle Apostolic Church where he'd been serving as the music minister. He is the son of former Faith Tabernacle pastor Edwin Young.
Assistant Geary County Attorney Michelle Brown says Young sexually abused underage males at Faith Tabernacle (located on Burke Drive in Junction City) and at the church's school called the Apostolic Academy (located several miles away from the church on Rucker Road in Junction City), as well as "outside of both" of those locations from 2008 to 2012.
Young's preliminary hearing has been pushed back several times as the state waits for final DNA results from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation labs.
KBI Deputy Director Kyle Smith told WIBW: "We are aware this is a major case and it has been given priority status over many others due to the nature of the case... The original set of samples is in 'technical review', a cross check to ensure accuracy and the final stage of the process. The delays involved here are primarily based on the KBI's chronic lack of forensic capacity and the very large number of samples (about 100) submitted in this case."
He added: "Due to the capacity limitations we have been forced to prioritize cases that are submitted for analysis. For instance, a murder or rape set for trial will be worked before a case awaiting preliminary hearing. In a survey of our law enforcement partners last year, 41% reported that they had cases that had been dismissed or plead to reduced charges due to the unavailability of KBI forensic lab reports. This is an unfortunate and frustrating situation to be in, but unavoidable. And it should be remembered that we are talking about fundamental rights of both victims and suspects - forensic tests absolutely have to be done right – so no short cuts are allowed."
WIBW has a sit down interview with Kyle Smith Monday to further discuss some of the obstacles his agency is facing.
Jordan Young remains in the Geary County Jail. He is being held on a $1 million bond. A status hearing on his cases is now set for June 4, 2013 at 9 AM at the Geary County courthouse.
Michelle Brown says the direction of the cases should be made clear at the hearing.

To the editor:
No matter where you live in the Ohio Valley, we are all dealing with the same problems. Drugs are over running our neighborhoods, and violence seems to be at an all-time high. Our children are in danger every day.
So, what do we do about this? That seems to be the million-dollar question. First of all, I feel we need to back our police departments more. These men and women put their uniforms on, kiss their families goodbye, head to work and put their lives on the line for our protection. We have got to stop blaming the very people that work so hard to make sure that our families are safe.
Also, I feel that we need to seriously take control of our children. It's almost like people forgot how to discipline our youth. Today's young people don't fear getting in trouble any more. I feel that if there were more discipline there would be fewer problems. It's a sad day when senior citizens are afraid to go to the store because they're afraid of being robbed or beaten.
I find it extremely sad that people are still judging one another simply by the color of their skin. We have come so far and yet it seems like we are taking so many steps backward. We have to stick together if we are going to fix the problems. Our community made it attractive for the drug dealers to move into our lives because we didn't want to believe that there was a problem. Now it's time to wake up. It's time that we now shine the light on those who choose to live in the shadows. It's time to stand up and take our neighborhoods back. This is a critical time, but together we can all make it through.
Sit down with your family, Pray to whatever god you pray to. Pray for peace and clean living. Let's put our heads together and get a solution to this overwhelming problem. Remember, there is no one leader in this fight. Together we have allowed this problem to get out of hand. Together we can stand by one another and get this problem resolved. It's time for a better tomorrow - our children deserve it. I hope this letter gets through to many people. To the elderly, please don't live in fear, you've earned your peace. To children, I urge you to never give up on your dreams, but to always chase them. To parents, I urge you to pay close attention to what your children are doing, the people they run with, and to look for changes in their personality - stay ahead of the curve. To everyone, I urge you to make time for a family dinner and take that opportunity to ask questions and find out what's really happening in the lives of our children.
Remember, it takes a village, so they say. It's time to eliminate the hate that surrounds us and learn to spread love. God bless.

With the prospect of abundant low-cost ethane, several producers have announced intentions to build new ethylene capacity.
[shale gas]
Feedstock prices are a major determinant factor in ethylene
production costs. Feedstocks for steam cracking are
derived from natural gas (ethane, propane and butane) or crude
oilnaphtha and gasoil (GO). Steam crackers in Western Europe and Asia are mostly based on
naphtha feedstock, while crackers in the
Middle East, North America and parts of Southeast Asia are
mostly based on gas feeds. Development of shale gas in North
America has led to a significant drop in natural gas prices
relative to crude oil prices. Fig. 1 shows the
near-term trends for energy prices, especially for crude oil
and natural gas (US), and the resultant ratio.

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

Yes, it uses content type, but those are coming from the extension. It only uses the perl module MIME::Types which is a simple lookup. I think at one point I was using File::LibMagic, but that requires having the libmagic and database installed which was probably too restrictive for some users and requires inspecting each file. Really, SWISH::Filter probably should look for File::LibMagic first, then try MIME::Types as a fallback.

Take your time and get your drawing materials ready to start sketching the process of Satsuki. I've never seen all the best Studio Ghibli movies, but I'll be checking them out as soon as I can! Anyways, this took me a while to complete, having inspiration for the background design as well. I wanted to get the painting style from the actual movie and include it with Satsuki. Hopefully, y'all like this tut, let me know what you think of it, how easy it was, and if you drew it! Have fun.

This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Free web site (accepting donations):
Commercial software:
Gmail Extract Email Addresses Software 7.0
GMail Extract e-mail addresses from G-Mail Account 9
Email Extractor - web email addresses harvester
Note: I haven't tried any of them (not using gmail, sorry).
i dont know an easier way:
Well, first of all, though the IMAP or POP3 functionality of GMail, you can access all your emails to analyse them on your local system. Outlook would be able to use both techniques. But to extract email addresses from any message in your mailbox, you would need some more specialized software. Problem is, such software is popular by bulk emailers to collect existing email addresses. Thus, anyone who would create such an application could end up belong accused of creating software to support spammers and bulk emailers.
So, first of all, what are your intentions? What are you planning to do with this information?
Then, while it would require special tools to collect this information, it's not too difficult to write such software yourself. I wrote something similar myself, in an anti-spam attempt to collect information about spammers. It's not that difficult and with simple regular expressions it's even quite simple.
Of course, there are probably several such tools available on the Internet. But be aware about the reasons someone would create such a tool! A website, for example, that would offer such functionality could also be harvesting email addresses for spammers. Other tools might also misuse an internet connection to send harvested email addresses to the creator of this tool, allowing spammers to build enormous lists of confirmed email addresses.
One thing is sure, though. If I knew I was sending emails to someone who would collect them for any purpose, I would blacklist that person for my regular accounts and only communicate with them with a throw-away account just to make sure I won't be bothered too much by spam.
Just an addition to hayymc's list. http://www.gmailextractor.com Unlike other services you dont need to give your password to any third party and you will be logging-in to Gmail account through Google. gmailextractor.com will only extract Email addresses in "From" field and also the Sender's Name if available in the mail header.

Consider the following exponential kernel:
$k(x_1, x_2) = \exp\left(\frac{|x_1 - x_2|}{L}\right)$,
which is symmetric and non-negative definite. By virtue of Mercer's theorem, we have
$k(x_1, x_2) = \sum_{i = 1}^\infty \lambda_i \phi_i(x_1) \phi_i(x_2)$
where $\lambda_i$ and $\phi_i$ are the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of $k$, respectively. Now, consider the following product:
$K((x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)) := k(x_1, x_2) k(y_1, y_2) = \exp\left( -\frac{|x_1 - x_2|}{L} - \frac{|y_1 - y_2|}{L}\right)$.
Since the product of two symmetric, non-negative definite kernels is another kernel with the same properties, Mercer's theorem still applies.
The question is: Having computed $\lambda_i$ and $\phi_i$ of $k$, what can we say about the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of $K$?
Thank you.
Regards, Ivan
