There were five new men welcomed into the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Commitment Award club following the latest round of action in April. We profile the newcomers and look ahead to those poised to win a Commitment Award later this year.
Johnny Arcilla - The man with one of the coolest names in tennis has been a dedicated servant of Davis Cup since making his debut as a 19-year-old against Indonesia. He scored the only point for his nation in that tie and has gone on to become the third most successful man from his country in terms of victories in the competition with a total win-loss record of 27-21. Arcilla remains dedicated to his country's cause and as well as competing in various round-robin events, he played his 20th home-or-away tie against Thailand in April. He might have lost his opening singles rubber against Danai Udomchoke but he will surely be in contention to add to his victory tally when Philippines take on New Zealand in the Asia/Oceania Zone Group II play-off in September, with the winner earning a place in Zone Group I.
Farrukh Dustov - Uzbekistan might have lost out to Australia in the last round of Davis Cup competition but both Farrukh Dustov and Denis Istomin competed in their 20th home-or-away ties to earn a Commitment Award. Dustov first played Davis Cup as an 18-year-old, making his debut against Indonesia, and has gone on to help his side reach the World Group play-offs in 2012 and compiled a win-loss record of 15-21. Regularly asked to play both singles and doubles, Dustov has become a rock on which his team can depend and will be back in Asia/Oceania Zone Group I action next year looking to help his team go one better than 2012.
Frederico Gil - His ranking has dropped in recent years but Frederico Gil has his sights firmly set on challenging for the right to be called Portugal's best Davis Cup player. He has a win-loss record of 28-17 and needs five more victories to overtake Nuno Marques (32-26) and 10 wins to claim the lead from Joao Cunha-Silva (37-40). He has played Davis Cup every year since making his debut against Tunisia in 2004 and at 28 years of age has plenty of time to keep going.
Victor Hanescu - Any up-and-coming Romanian players have big shoes to fill when you look back at some of this nation's great players, like Ilie Nastase, Ion Tiriac and Andrei Pavel, but the name most familiar to Romanian success in recent years is that of Victor Hanescu. The big man from Bucharest made a welcome return to Davis Cup in April having been absent for two years and in so doing earned his place among those greats from his homeland. Hanescu's Davis Cup career spans some 12 years and he has a win-loss record of 16-19.
Denis Istomin - The leader of the current Uzbek team is second only to Oleg Ogorodov for most wins in Davis Cup for his country and it was his fine form that saw Uzbekistan reach the World Group play-offs in 2012. He missed out on repeating the result when his team was defeated by Australia in April but he is sure to be back to compete in his 10th year of Davis Cup next year.
Ones to watch - Novak Djokovic is the biggest name on the list of players who now need just one tie to win a Davis Cup Commitment Award and he could earn the accolade if he competes in September's semifinal against Canada. One of his would-be opponents, Frank Dancevic, is also a contender in the autumn.

I have often wondered if it would be possible to write a programming language that would work as a conversation. I would tell the computer that I want to store coordinates and it would ask what representation I would use. I would then ask to find the shortest path between points and it would ask if I want to use Djkstra's, brute force or use Floyd's? What research has been done towards producing a system like this?

I think such a language would need an artificial intelligence in place, or at least a system that can learn.
The problem is that humans don't know what they want.
Also, even writing in classical imperative language we still make logical errors. Imagine trying telling a non-intelligent software what he has to do.
What you're describing sounds less like programming and more like using an application.
Some problems you'd have to address in such a system:
Prolog comes close except for two things:
But it does have the behavior to store facts and have rules to verify them or generate a result with it.
Intellisense/CodeAssist feature in modern IDEs come to mind as the closest thing in current software practice to your requirements... whereby you discover the capabilities of the system as you type in code. It allows you to navigate the feature-space of the development platform in real time. Its not exactly the same as you describe but comes pleasantly close enough.

Cape Town on TripAdvisor: Travel advice from those in the know
Cape Town is a beautiful city, where you can get your fill of welcoming locals, gourmet food, award-winning wines, mind-blowing scenery, and so much more.
But don't just take our word for it, read the reviews on TripAdvisor. The world's largest travel site, which offers honest advice from bona fide travellers, has helped many a nervous traveller take the plunge, and journey to places unknown.
Cape Town is one of many places reviewed on the website and, thanks to thousands of reviews, travellers have been curious enough to see for themselves just what Cape Town has on offer. So, if you're thinking of coming to Cape Town but need that extra little prod in our direction, consider yourself well and truly nudged.
Below is a sample of traveller reviews, covering a variety of Cape Town's attractions.
Cape Town's beaches rival the best in the world, and Boulders beach, in particular, affords the opportunity to relax among the local waddling community of penguins.
Kat0425, from Raleigh, North Carolina, United States had this to say of Boulders beach on May 10, 2012:
"One of my best memories of my trip to Cape Town. I love this beach! The penguins are adorable and will get pretty close to you as they are used to humans. If you are driving to Cape Point, I would [recommend a] stop here on the way."
Of course, a trip to Cape Town would not be complete without a journey to the top of Table Mountain to take in the scenery.
Shirls2606 from Bristol, United Kingdom, shared their experience of the mountain on May 17, 2012.
"Breathtaking views! The views of Cape Town from the top of Table Mountain were truly breathtaking. We went up the mountain via cable car, which had a revolving door, allowing us to get a 360-degree view as we went up the mountain. Absolutely amazing stuff!
The city is well known for its award-winning wines and stunning wine estates, and visiting some of the estates can allow you to take a step back in time.
BrianRamsgate, of Ramsgate, said on April 23, 2012, of his experience on one of Cape Town's wine estates, Groot Constantia.
"One of the most beautiful wine estates of the world. Driving through the gabled gates, you see a road lined by ancient oak trees and in the far distance, an old Cape Dutch homestead… time drops away and beauty takes over. What better place to spend with friends and/or family, whether it is at the restaurant, tearoom or on the lawns for a picnic?"
Looking for a delicious, value-for-money breakfast? Cape Town has hundreds of restaurants, coffee shops, and little eateries where one can tuck into tasty meals, and since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it is easy to make it a good one in Cape Town.
ShootingParrots, from Manchester, United Kingdom, found a little breakfast gem, Mango Ginger, on the outskirts of the city, and said on February 4, 2011:
"Salty and sweet. Our first meal in Cape Town, and one to remember. I had French toast, croissant with bacon and honey, which was fabulous, while my partner had what she deemed the best sandwich she had ever tasted! We sat outside and the area definitely had a student area feel about it – very relaxed and slightly bohemian. The staff couldn't do enough and it was certainly excellent value."
South Africans love red meat, but Capetonians also have a special relationship with fish, which is why the city is a popular fish-dish destination.
AFWPoole, from Poole, had this to say on May 16, 2012, about Miller's Thumb, a restaurant famous for its fish dishes.
"Fantastic fish. Ate here on our last night in Cape Town – great way to finish our trip. A great atmosphere and very busy but the service was great – friendly but efficient. We shared calamari to start, and it was perfectly cooked – really tender. We then both had grilled fish, one yellowtail and one kingklip and both were excellent – the best fish anywhere, and good wine to go with it. Nice, relaxed atmosphere – very unstuffy."
If you are looking for a few things to do, in between your memorable meals, the city also offers cultural escapes that include the South African Jewish Museum.
JSBerman, from Chicago, Illinois, United States, had this to say on May 20, 2012, of the museum:
"Amazing museum. I thought the South African Jewish Museum and Holocaust Centre were outstanding. Don't miss these wonderful museums whether you are Jewish or not. Both are filled with lots of history, art, and interesting exhibits. A museum not to be missed!
Strolling through Greenmarket Square in the city centre is a great way to end a day of activity before starting over the next day. The market is a great place to interact with different African cultures and buy a few mementos.
Jim_c, from Canberra, Australia had this to say on March 25, 2012, about his Greenmarket Square experience:
"Enjoy the ambience. Our family loved strolling down Long Street and around Greenmarket Square, the sights, sounds and smells all add to the ambience of the place. I mean sure it's touristy, but so what, it's Cape Town, and the curios and stalls are pretty good. My teenage sons and wife loved haggling and purchasing trinkets to take home and give to their friends. We enjoyed sitting at the cafes around the square…watching tourists and Capetonians going about business around us. It was a lively and colourful place to be."
A walk along the city streets will open a world of bars and restaurants to complete your nightlife experience in Cape Town. Alexander Bar and Café on Strand Street is a feast for the eyes and taste buds, serving up a wide selection of delicious cocktails, drinks and meals in the surroundings of grand décor.
Meganshead from Cape Town said of Alexander Bar and Café, on December 20, 2011:
"Delightful. In the heart of the city, Alexander Bar is a quirky haven. It's strangely retro in the best way, with telephones at all the tables and a massive bar that serves delicious drinks. I love the music, the revolving love seat, the typewriter (that you can leave notes on) and the balcony for smokers."
The city also has an excess of good-value hotels, guesthouses, backpacker hostels and holiday apartments in which to rest your weary body.
SandraF, from Baunatal, Hessen, Germany spent time in Brenwin Guest House this year and had this to say on April 28, 2012:
"My family and I have been there on a number of occasions. For us, the guesthoue is situated very nicely, for example, close to the Waterfront and also other beautiful spots in the city. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable. The breakfast has a lovely choice of continental and full, hearty breakfasts. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. We would recommend this guesthouse to anyone staying in CT."
Kevin H, from Melbourne, Australia also recently spent time in Cape Town and had this to say of Mandela Rhodes Place, on May 2, 2012.
"Good value hotel. Close to downtown Cape Town (probably one of the best cities I have ever visited). Very safe surroundings and a great little restaurant on the ground floor."


text: I have noticed that there are a lot of anime threads and it's about time that there's one that all of this chat falls into. What are your favorite animes and mangas? Which ones do you hate? If it has to do with anime or manga, bring it here! I'm going to say this now: NO HENTAI. The forum rules are regulated here, as well as any other thread, so don't post hentai. Anywho, I'm not huge into manga or anime, I watch it occaisionally, but today I got really into Hellsing, so that's my favorite manga. Second I'd vote Trigun, third, Naruto, fourth DBZ/DBGT, and fifth is empty because I've yet to find a manga/anime that is worthy of the last spot in my top 5.

Questions on Arqade are expected to relate to gaming within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
No there isn't.
However there are some patches/mods that can improve the old engine Thief 1 and 2 are using. The patches will improve some models and textures, increase the resolution and more.
DDfix: patch (created by TimeSlip and updated by jermi) to allow Dark Engine games to run properly on modern hardware. It fixes the numerous problems introduced in modern graphics card drivers, as well as enabling 32-bit rendering to increase visual quality beyond even the original game. It also fixes fog in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, and enables support for widescreen resolutions. In addition, menus and books/scrolls are no longer displayed in a hard-coded 640x480 resolution, but are instead displayed at the same resolution as the game, removing the annoying resolution-switching that has always plagued Thief.
DDFix also supports additional features, such as support for high-resolution override textures that can go beyond the Dark Engine's 256x256 maximum texture size, and post-processing effects such as bloom. These are now available in Thief Gold, Thief 2 and System Shock 2.
Thief Enhancement Pack: improved models, textures ,compatible with Thief 2: The Metal Age, Thief: The Dark Project and Thief Gold.
NTEX high-res texture pack: 136 new textures, compatible with Thief 2 only.

I am trying to plot the points (i,j,k) as they are generated in the loop but in the same plot. The next draws the points in different windows.
list = {};
Do[list = Append[list, {i, j, k}];
Print[ListPointPlot3D[list]], {i, 3}, {j, 3}, {k, 3}]
Is there any function in Mathematica that allows us to draw plots dynamically, i.e., keeping the plots that were already generated as new ones are being generated from a loop (all in the same window)?

I live near San Francisco and I am in love with the local sourdough bread. It is very expensive and I'd like to bake my own bread. I am wondering though, is it possible to make sourdough starter from regular breadmachine yeast?
Yes you can create sourdough from regular yeast, but it's not necessary. Ordinary flour comes with a trace of yeast. In the San Francisco area, that yeast is famed. Just mix flour and water 50/50 to make a batter-like mixture and leave it in a jar on the counter. Put a lightly fitting lid on the jar.
Add more flour and water every 12h (give or take). You should be doubling the initial amount each time, so 1 teaspoon, 2 teaspoons, 4...
After a couple of days you'll see bubbles developing in the sourdough. Once you're at that stage, you can reduce the amount of care. 'Refresh' the sourdough once a week: mix, take out 1/2 of the sourdough, add the same amount back (50/50 flour/water as before), mix. According to the Wikipedia, this can be kept at room temperature.
Sourdough is a mixture of flour, water, yeast and bacteria. When unattended for some time, 'water' forms at the surface. This liquid contains some alcohol that adds to the flavor of the dough. It's part of the sourdough and should be mixed in when refreshing the dough.
You cannot produce sourdough with just bread machine yeast; it lacks the lactobacillus bacteria in sourdough starter, which produce the lactic acid that sours the bread. However, you can use bread machine yeast and sourdough starter together to produce a dough with sourdough flavor, but which a bread machine can handle (see my answer to "bread machine sourdough").
Fortunately, sourdough starter is dead easy to obtain, and is so easy to care for that it makes those pet Sea Monkeys look high maintenance! As BaffledCook suggests, you can prepare your own sourdough starter from scratch. You can also ask bakeries if they will share a little of their starter. Finally, sourdough starter is available by mail order from a variety of sources, including the King Arthur flour online catalog.
Edit: my current recommendation for mail-order starters is Breadtopia's. I recently used some after losing my starter, and it is by far the fastest I've seen. Rise times are just 2/3 what most recipes call for (factoring in temperature), and it creates an airier bread.
The short answer: bread machine yeast is not the right way to start sourdough. Use the natural yeast present in the Bay Area air.
The long answer:
Since you live near here (I live in SF), starting a sourdough couldn't be easier if you have a little patience. I have a sourdough we call "H.P.", as in "Lovecraft", because is it a big, scary, sticky white shoggoth. H.P. has been going for 6 years and has produced countless batches of bread, bagels, pizza dough, pancakes, and waffles.
I'll tell you how H.P. started.
First, buy some unbleached, low-heat milled organic flour milled on the West Coast. Bob's Red Mill, Arrowhead Mills, and Butte Creek Mill all work for this. Guisto's is the best, but they don't sell to home cooks. Second, mix 1.5 cups with 1.5 cups of unchlorinated, filtered water (see below). Leave this out on the counter, at room temperature, for 3 days.
After 3 days, throw away half the goo and add 3/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup water. Leave out for another 2 days. Repeat for another 2 days. Then split and mix again, put in a jar with a loose lid (a mason jar not screwed all the way down works well) and place in the fridge. Leave for 2 weeks.
After this, you should have a sourdough. Split it and replentish it with flour and water every 3-4 weeks minimum, or once a week maximum (unless you're going to get into serious multi-stage production baking). If you find that your sourdough doesn't have much rise, add 1/8 tsp commercial baking yeast (any kind) to it once to improve the yeast strain.
A note about water: most Bay Area tap water has chloramine in it, which improves the water quality but will kill your sourdough. You need to use purified unchlorinated water.
Recommended books on Bay Area sourdough:
Sunset Magazine also has a recipe for making sourdough in a bread machine. Since it appears to rely on yogurt for the bacterial culture, I don't think much of it, but try it if you dare: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/sourdough-starter-10000001151410/
Since you are impressed with some local strains of sour dough (for good reason) you might also try to reconstitute one of those local cultures by starting with some of the actual bread, You can do this using baked bread as not ALL of the culture is normally killed during baking, but you may want to try a few parallel starts as not all starts will take off.
Start by getting some of the desired sourdough bread and cut it into cubes about 1 inch, no crust. You will need 7 cubes per attempt.
Use these cubes with @BaffledCooks directions, in place of the flour for the first 3 days of the process (1 cube, 2 cubes, 4 cubes, then switch to flour).
On day 4 you should be able to tell which samples are taking off by the bubbling action in the sample. From there you now have duplicated the culture at your favorite bakery. Of course other ingredients bring flavors to the mix, but with this you should be able to get very close to your favorite sourdough.

What should parents or caregivers do if they suspect a child has the signs and symptoms of dyslexia?
It is important to consult your pediatrician if you are concerned about your child's development. Additionally, meeting with your child's teachers is an important step toward getting more answers.
Ideally, every school has a team that meets on a regular basis to discuss problems a specific child might be having. These teams are made up of the principal, classroom teacher, and one or a combination of the following depending on the staffing of the school such as
- school psychologist,
- nurse,
- speech therapist,
- reading specialist, and
- other pertinent professionals.
A parent should always be included as a part of this team. The teams are commonly referred to as
- Child Study Teams,
- Student Study Teams, or
- Student Support Teams.
Any parent or teacher who suspects a learning problem may request a meeting with this team to discuss the child's problem. The parent may request this even if the teacher feels the child is doing well. Sometimes a decision to test the child will be made. The parent or teacher may request testing, but it cannot be done without the parents' written permission.
If the child attends a private school which lacks the appropriate professionals to evaluate a suspected learning problem, he should be referred to the public-school system for evaluation. If testing is not satisfactorily conducted in the public-school system for private or public school students, the parent will need to locate the appropriate health professionals for assessment. A list of resources is provided at the conclusion of this article.
Because testing can sometimes be stressful for children, especially if they are unhappy about their school performance, alternative strategies are usually tried before testing is done. Once the assessment plan has been discussed with the parent(s) and they have granted permission, the school team completes the testing and holds a meeting with the parent(s) to discuss the test results.
The assessment plan for each child depends on the specific problems the child is having. Each plan should include testing in five areas:
- cognition (intelligence),
- academic performance,
- communication,
- sensory/motor, and
- health and developmental.
The testing will be done by the various members of the school team or the professionals consulted by the parent. Typically, the school or clinical psychologist determines whether or not the child has dyslexia. Since there are different forms of dyslexia, such as learning disability in reading, written language, or math, the psychologist diagnoses the specific type. Another form known as expressive language delay can be diagnosed by a speech therapist.

Please give me some pointers where I can learn more about the following problem:
I have two alphabets A and B. A have a dictionary which contains words in A together with their translation in B (ie. the dictionary is a map from symbols [a1, a2, ..., an] to [b1, b2, ..., bm]). I need an algorithm that will construct an optimal rewriting system which will rewrite a-symbols into b-symbols. The rewriting system is optimal if it preservers maximal number of pairs. (Of course there must be limit to the number of rewriting rules).
The motivations is in speech processing. I have a set of rules and a large directory for text-to-phoneme transformation and I want to build rules fro phoneme-to-text transformation.

FLORENCE, Ariz. — Authorities say a woman is jailed without bond for allegedly firing shots at Pinal County sheriff's deputies in the small town of Saddlebrooke.
Sheriff's officials say 64-year-old Pamela Williams is being held on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault involving a police officer.
Deputies were dispatched to a Saddlebrooke home last Friday evening about an ongoing feud between neighbors.
They say someone fired two shots in their direction as they approached the residence.
Both deputies retreated to their vehicles and they say Williams ran down the driveway toward them unarmed and was taken into custody.
Deputies say they later found a shotgun in the home and a pistol on top of an outside shed.
Authorities didn't immediately know Tuesday if Williams has a lawyer yet.

I noticed that each of the class achievements require you to get to level 60 with two separate characters of the same class, but you only get 9 character slots. Does that mean it's not possible to get every single achievement in the game?
The specific achievement you mention is obtainable as there are actually 10 character slots. You can also get this achievement by creating, leveling, then deleting characters (or selling them, after Blizzard allows characters to be sold on the AH).
Regarding the rest, it is indeed possible to get all achievements; none of them should be mutually exclusive.
In fact, here is a thread where a number of people discuss their attempts to get the "world first" for obtaining all achievements.
The exception is that, as @aolszowka mentions, some Feats of Strength are no longer obtainable. However, these are usually excluded from "all achievements," and in fact this is one of the reason Blizzard invented feats of strength.
When you say every achievement are you speaking to every achievement that has some type of point value? Or just every achievement period? If so you might have already been out of luck. The feats of strength achievements for example require that you:
Two of the above are now impossible to achieve, and the third might as well be with the current asking price on Amazon/eBay.
Source What are the feats of strength in Diablo 3?
To answer your direct question with regards to the Class Achievements, I guess Blizzard would assume that you would roll a Hardcore Character at some point, and inevitably die as well. My understanding is that this opens up another character slot to allow you to continue to try for the achievement.
The achievements the OP asks about are all possible, but there are still a couple of achievements that are impossible due to a bug which has not yet been fixed (as of 9 August 2012). In Act 3, the lorebook "Battlefield Reports" never drops, which means it's impossible to get the "Espionage" achievement, as well as one or two other achievements which depend on that one.

Project: Voice over Internet Protocol
Voice over Internet Protocol Project Overview
As of October 2015: The buildings noted on the VoIP Wiki page have been completed with the exception of the analog lines and call centers. Over 21,797 lines have been covered or suspended to date.
IT governance formed a VoIP Task Force in fall of 2010 consisting of representatives from the Cockrell School of Engineering, College of Communication, College of Natural Sciences, College of Liberal Arts, McCombs School of Business, and Information Technology Services. Their charge was to review the ongoing needs for telephony on campus and to determine the best approach to provide this service moving forward. In March of 2012 IT governance endorsed a plan to replace the university's existing telephone system.
Business Need and Background
Voice over IP (VoIP) was identified in the Strategic IT Advisory Committee report and prioritized by the IT Architecture and Infrastructure Committee (AIC) to be investigated as a future direction for campus telephone services. IT governance determined that VoIP, and changes to the way telephone services are provided, will decrease the cost of providing telephone services while also providing increased flexibility and new features. While the current infrastructure has served campus well for over 25 years, it is time to replace that infrastructure.
Project Description
For the most current information on the various aspects of the project, please visit the VOIP Project wiki.
Subscribe to the voip-project email list at UT Lists to receive project updates!
See charter for deployment committee: VOIP Project DeploymentCharter
Acquire a new standards‐based Enterprise Class VoIP telephone system.
Distribute operational and cost responsibilities for the telephone system between units and ITS; completing the transition by 2016.
Manage the transition:
- IT governance committee to establish transition schedules
- ITS Common Good funding to provide the planning and labor for transition
- ITS to provide financing options for units to cover de‐central capital conversion costs
- Grandfather existing private telephone systems at their current scale. Additional investments in existing private systems will only be authorized on an exception basis by the Strategic IT Accountability Board. No more future distributed private telephone systems will be accepted.
Adjust rates for the new system based on actual costs of providing telephone services and remove hidden subsidies:
- Provide ITS Common Good funding for institutional copper‐wired phones
- Establish a task force to recommend Building Security System (BACS) maintenance funding options
- Determine which project to incorporate the costs of relocating the institutional copper lines when the Services Building is demolished

I've set a break point in my feature receiver, but symbols never load and break points never met, what can I do to resolve this?
Are your symbols available? You might need to copy the PDB file to the GAC. Here are some articles on the subject: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/markarend/archive/2008/09/09/debugging-web-parts-and-other-sharepoint-custom-code.aspx
You also might want to try inserting a line of code that pops up a window asking if you want to debug it. From http://underthehood.ironworks.com/2010/10/debugging-sharepoint-feature-receivers-the-easy-way.html:
Hi did you copy the pdb files to the GAC-directory where your assembly lies? To do this, use TotalCommander or CommandPrompt to navigate to
c:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL[Name of your assemlby][Version]\
there should be the .dll. Now copy the according .pdb from your debug build, reset IIS (or recycle AppPool), open a page of your site (to restart w3wp), attach to w3wp with visual studio (ctrl+Alt+P) and activate your feature again...should work now ;-)
ah, one minute too late....anyway ;)

NYCB Winter Season
Posted 11 February 2012 - 06:26 PM
Tarantella with Sterling Hyltin and Adam Hendrickson. I loved Hyltin in this, and I didn't expect to as I think of her as a lyric dancer. She doesn't do it with the physical power of some others but makes it look so easy and fun. Her charm and femininity were lost on Hendrickson, however. He didn't relate to her at all, I don't think he cracked a smile the whole performance. It looked like he couldn't wait to get off stage.
I have avoided Seven Deadly Sins until now because it has been panned to the skies. I didn't think it was that horrible. It has some good theatrical effects, although the actual choreography is thin. I saw Balanchine's but it was so long ago all I remember is Allegra Kent being carried in on a platter for Gluttony. I was in a version by Glen Tetley. Lotte Lenya came to a rehearsal, as her protégée Bettena Janeke was singing Anna. She told Glen she liked Balanchine's Better! Anyway,Glen's ended with the family rejecting Anna in the end for selling her um...soul to earn the money she sent to built their house. Taylor-Corbett's ends with Anna coming home in triumph in a fur coat, and her sinful side is swept away. What the H kind of moral is that?
Ah,Vienna Waltzes! Antonio Carmena was terrific with a sparkling Janie Taylor in Fruhlingsstimmen (the 2nd section). His elevation was spectacular. I'd love to see him do Tarantella. I think the co. looks very good this season with many of the younger principals and soloists really coming into their own this year.

And when I got down to the subway, the 66th-St-station saxophonist, who every night does a piece from some Lincoln Center performance, tonight was doing the gold and silver waltz! How does that guy always pick out what I found memorable in that evening's performance, whether opera or ballet? Does he change his tune throughout the evening, depending on whether it's the opera or ballet or philharmonic getting out?
I think he does change the tune based on which event is getting out. There was a New York Times article about him a few years ago.

The ballet begins with Anna 1 and Anna 2 leaving their home in Louisiana to find fame and fortune. Anna 1 and 2 seem to be different parts of the same person. As they travel throughout America, Anna 2 encounters those seven deadly sins, one for each city they journey to. Anna 1 sings about all the temptations Anna 2 faces. Anna 2 does all the heavy lifting while Anna 1 takes most of the money her sister (Anna 1 refers to Anna 2 as her sister) earns.
Their family back home in Louisiana consists of a mother (sung by a man in drag), father, an older brother and a younger brother. They function as a sort of Greek chorus/barbershop quartet. For some reason, both Anna and the Family constantly criticize Anna 2. Anna 2 doesn't seem to be committing the sins she encounters in every city she goes to. Her family and sister sing about how lazy she is (for the deadly sin of sloth), but Anna 2 is shown scrubbing the floor with all her might. Her anger seems justified in response to a movie star (Sara Mearns) firing her dance partner when he accidentally bumps into her.
Poor skinny little Anna 2 is not even allowed to eat a chicken leg, yet her Family accuses her of gluttony. And how lustful is it when Anna 2 is forced to give up the man she loves (Craig Hall) to become the mistress of a wealthy man (Zachary Catazaro)? The sin of envy has Anna 2 stealing a baby. She doesn't seem envious of the baby's mother. To me it looks like Anna 2 has finally cracked up due to all the pressure Anna 1 and the Family have placed on her to make money for them.
In the Epilogue Anna 1 returns to her family in Louisiana wearing a mink coat. Due to all the money Anna 2 has made for them, the Family is now living in a mansion. Anna 2 goes back to Louisiana as well, only to collapse to the ground and die. Her body is then pulled off the stage.
"The Seven Deadly Sins" is all right as a novelty, but it is not a ballet I want to see very often. Besides the storyline bordering on the ridiculous, the choreography is pedestrian at best. As Anna 2, Wendy Whelan tries very hard, but she really doesn't have much to work with. It's always good to see Patti LuPone, but both the music and lyrics are pretty forgettable. Obviously, even great artists like Weill and Brecht have their failures. This time at least I was able to understand what LuPone was singing. When I saw Sins" last May, I was barely able to make out a word being sung. If Ballet Master in Chief, Peter Martins, wants to get guest artists from Broadway or television or the movies or the music world, he has to give them a better performance vehicle than Lynne Taylor-Corbett's "Seven Deadly Sins".
The rest of the afternoon consisted of two lightweight ballets – Jerome Robbins' "Interplay" and Peter Martins' "Zakouski" and one sublime work – George Balanchine's "Vienna Waltzes".
Jerome Robbins choreographed "Interplay" in 1945 to a jazzy score by Morton Gould. "Interplay" is a slight but enjoyable ballet. It gives its young dancers a chance to shine as they play hopscotch, do cartwheels and try to outdo each other with their leaps and turns.
"Zakouski" is a trifle of a piece choreographed by Peter Martins and set to the music of four Russian composers – Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky. It is very well danced by Megan Fairchild and Andrew Veyette, but there's not much to this ballet.
The afternoon ends on an extremely high note – with George Balanchine's "Vienna Waltzes". The ballet is a series of four waltzes and one polka, with music by Johann Strauss II, Franz Lehar and Richard Strauss. The sets by Rouben Ter-Arutunian are magnificent – from the forests of the Vienna Woods to the haunted ballroom of "Der Rosenkavlier. Karinska's period costumes are gorgeous.
"Vienna Waltzes" begins with "Tales from the Vienna Woods". Savannah Lowery is lovely as a young debutante with Tyler Angle her attentive cavalier. Next is the only section danced on pointe – "Voices of Spring". Janie Taylor is a sparkling sprite. Antonio Carmena excites the audience with his tremendous elevation and dancing rich with musicality and joy. Erica Peirera and Adam Hendrickson are very funny as they dance "The Explosions Polka".
The Silver and Gold Waltz is a disappointment. Jonathan Stafford is stiff rather than dashing. Teresa Reichlein as the Merry Widow looks like she's playing dress-up. Reichlein's widow lacks both mystery and allure.
The most romantic dance of the afternoon was performed by Sara Mearns, alone, in front of a mirror. She is a woman haunted by memories as a phantom lover (Jared Angle) waltzes in and out of her life. Mearns is absolutely perfect in the role – with just a wave of her arm she conveys a whole world of meaning. The gorgeous arch of her pliant back shows the depth of her heartbreak. The Hollywoodesque finale, with chandeliers aglow and white gowns swirling, is as intoxicating as ever. I can only hope that NYCB will dance "Vienna Waltzes" for many years to come.
While watching Daniel Ulbricht in "Interplay" I found myself wondering why he seems stuck in the same roles he did while he was a soloist and even a corps dancer. I loved Antonio Carmena in "Voices of Spring", but that seems to me a part that Ulbricht would be spectacular in. Why isn't he ever El Capitan in Stars and Stripes instead of the guy leading the male corps? Why isn't he in Union Jack? As much as I liked Tyler Angle in the part this winter, I think Ulbricht would be even better. Besides being a fantastic dancer, he's got charisma to burn. I think he should be dancing all the Damian Woetzl parts. Of course, Peter Martins isn't asking me for my advice (obviously). It's not just the fact that Ulbricht is short. I think DeLuz is even shorter (or at least the same size) and he's moved on to bigger and better roles (which he is marvelous in.) I remember that once Herman Cornejo became a principal at ABT, for a few seasons he continued to dance his old roles. But Kevin McKenzie did finally give him a chance to perform many leading roles. And Cornejo had partnering problems for a while. Ulbricht doesn't. Anyone who can partner Teresa Reichlein as well as Ulbricht does in "Prodigal Son" is a partnering pro.

I'm hesitant to recommend that anyone avoid a ballet altogether. That said, I've already seen it, twice, and even though Tiler Peck has skyrocketed to the top (albeit a rotating top) of my Favorite Ballerina list, I won't bother seeing her in it. Ever. Or anyone else.
I too am hesitatant to say "Don't go" -- especially if your reason for going is to see a dancer you really like (I really like Stanley, too). I've been to see "R+J" once, and now that that box is checked I won't trouble myself to go see it again. I would like to see more of both new Romeos (Zachary Catazaro is debuting as well), but would prefer that they were featured in some other, better ballet. Storytelling isn't Martins' strong suit and Per Kirkeby's "R+J" production -- every bit as much of an inert eyesore as his production for "Swan Lake" -- doesn't give him any help. Never has Renaissance Italy looked so dinky.
But -- and this is a big but -- you will get to see Stanley (and some other very fine dancers) do a lot of dancing. If you can get past the sets and costumes, like Martins' choreography in general, and don't mind that the storytelling is hit or miss, you will get the chance to see a rising young dancer you like test himself against new challenges, and that's no bad thing.
Posted 15 February 2012 - 10:45 AM
I agree with the praise for Antonio Carmena in Vienna Waltzes. I was expecting Megan Fairchild and Joaquin de Luz again, so when two other dancers came out I could only determine it was Janie Taylor and a guy I didn't recognize -- but he amazed me with his leaps, height, and energy. As soon as it was over I was scrambling for my program. It made me very eager to see him again!

The first time I saw her this season was in Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux. It was the third number on a program, and arriving late, the first one I saw. During the pause between ballets 2 (Tombeau) and 3 (Tchai Pas) on the program, I found myself seated next to a good friend. After the adagio, I turned to her and said, "I could go home now." She was just that satisfying. The purity of her dancing -- completely without mannerism -- nothing tossed off, every in-between the in-betweens was expressive. My eyes were moist. Needless to say, the bravura of her allegro and coda were absolutely effortless and crystal clear.
I saw her next in Who Cares?, in McBride's role (The Man I Love and Fascinatin' Rhythm). I have seen literally every cast of Who Cares? that City Ballet has ever offered, and then a handful of others. I had no idea all that was in The Man I Love. Peck gave us not only a young woman who was fantasizing about the joy of falling in love, she gave us someone with a history. You could see, the trepidation of entering a new relationship, the pain of her last one(s), the giddiness of falling in love, the anticipation and, finally, her decision to go for it. Yes, all that was in there. Who knew? And how on earth did she know? Most remarkably, she did it all without acting. It was all in her timing, musicality and gesture. I hope that somewhere, someone managed to capture that performance on video.
Tonight, after her sparkling performance in Allegro Brilliante, Tiler came back and danced Fancy Free's pas de deux with Tyler Angle. I love the Tiler-Tyler pairing. What struck me about this performance was, we knew from her first entrance that, as much as the three sailors were looking for girls, she was also on the prowl. Perhaps her sweetheart was overseas, but she felt an emptiness that she needed to fill. Most of the dancers I've seen in this, including Stephanie Saland, who usually exuded sexuality, were as proper as the heroines in 1940s movies. This gal wasn't. She needed someone to hold her through the night, and while she wasn't falling in love with Sailor #2 (he WAS falling for her!), he'd do just fine.
I've seen other fine performances over the course of the season, and I don't mean to give those extraordinary dancers short shrift, Tiler's sudden blossoming from an exceptional talent to an artist of extraordinary depth has been so stunning, I couldn't let it go by. I've never seen anything like it.
And for what it's worth, although he isn't one of my favorite dancers, Amar Ramasar certainly earned his pay tonight. Tiler may have danced in two ballets, but Amar danced in all three, none of them easy. From Allegro Brillante, he went on to Russian Seasons before finishing as the Third Sailor in Fancy Free.
A word about the "former Fourth Ring Society" (I can't get used to "Society NYCB"). I was very skeptical about the new system, but aside from the inconvenience of not being able to plan in advance, I've found it very workable. I've been able to get seats to almost everything I wanted to see, and typically much better seats than Fourth Ring. The price has allowed me to see a plethora of performances that I never could have seen at regular prices, making my heart very happy. I'm very grateful, and I fervently hope the program continues next year.
I have consistently been seated in good seats in the Second and Third Rings. Once, I was seated in the Fourth Ring, which was fine, and once, I was given a seat at the far end of the fourth row of the orchestra, which was awful, since Union Jack was on that bill. Tonight, I arrived at the box office about 15 minutes before curtain. The gentleman asked me what I liked. "Oh, Second or Third." I gave him $17, and he gave me Second Ring, Row A, seat 108 -- dead center. (Obviously a returned ticket). Forgive the redundant smiley but . The only drawback is that when we were all seated in the 4th Ring, it was easy to find friends. Now, not so much.

I haven't reported in yet this season, but I am compelled to post an appreciation of Ms. Tiler Peck, who has matured into such a complete ballerina that I am awestruck (not too strong a word) by every role she dances.
The first time I saw her this season was in Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux. It was the third number on a program, and arriving late, the first one I saw. During the pause between ballets 2 (Tombeau) and 3 (Tchai Pas) on the program, I found myself seated next to a good friend. After the adagio, I turned to her and said, "I could go home now." She was just that satisfying. The purity of her dancing -- completely without mannerism -- nothing tossed off, every in-between the in-betweens was expressive. My eyes were moist. Needless to say, the bravura of her allegro and coda were absolutely effortless and crystal clear.
I saw her next in Who Cares?, in McBride's role (The Man I Love and Fascinatin' Rhythm). I have seen literally every cast of Who Cares? that City Ballet has ever offered, and then a handful of others. I had no idea all that was in The Man I Love. Peck gave us not only a young woman who was fantasizing about the joy of falling in love, she gave us someone with a history. You could see, the trepidation of entering a new relationship, the pain of her last one(s), the giddiness of falling in love, the anticipation and, finally, her decision to go for it. Yes, all that was in there. Who knew? And how on earth did she know? Most remarkably, she did it all without acting. It was all in her timing, musicality and gesture. I hope that somewhere, someone managed to capture that performance on video.
The woman is every kind of awesome. I saw her in "Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux" this season too, and it was the first time I can remember being blown away by the lifts. Peck was so gloriously, gorgeously on the music it was like watching a flower explode into bloom right before your eyes. Obviously her partner (Gonzalo Garcia) gets a ton of credit for the effect, but she made the most of the beautiful opportunity he gave her.
And I would sit through "The Seven Deadly Sins" twice if it were a precondition for watching Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild dance "The Man I Love."
Posted 16 February 2012 - 01:32 PM
Once again, Lauren King was a standout in the corps.
I had never seen Russian Seasons before. I like a lot of the imagery and the dancers looked good, particularly Tyler Angle. I did think it a bit long
Good performance of Fancy Free. I hadn't seen it in a while, and it was nice to be reminded of how good the choreography is. Every moment give us character & story. What a pleasure. I particularly enjoyed De Luz in the 1st variation. He made it look easy. I love his dancing in everything I see him in. I'm going to try to see his Theme & Variations.

Which PC RPG should I play next?
Over the last six months or so I've burned through all of these:
Mass Effect 3
Fallout: New Vegas (and most of the DLC)
Witcher and Witcher 2
What should I put on the chopping block next? Is any of the Borderlands DLC any good?
5 Answers answer
I like the Borderlands DLC, but if I were you, I'd wait a couple weeks and pick up Diablo III.
Definitely pick up D3 in a couple weeks. Path of Exile would make a decent time waster til then.
I think its time to whip out an emulator and play an old school title like Final Fantasy VI, Chronotrigger, or Earthbound for SNES. Change things up a little bit.
Star Wars: KOTOR

Council hears proposals for Lovers Lane project
January 23, 2013
STEUBENVILLE — City Council and administration officials heard proposals on easing traffic congestion on Lovers Lane from two consulting firms Tuesday evening that included construction of a......
Love to see the road either closed or purchse homes on both sides and widen to a four lane.
Talk about a cluster.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Lover's Lane was supposed to have been widened as a condition of the Mall being built where it is. It's almost 40 years later before they are finally getting around to it. Watch accidents increase there now as people will drive 50+ miles an hour with a wider road.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I would close the Lovers Lane entrance to the Mall and funnel traffic to John Scott Highway. Resurface John Scott from Sunset to Sinclair. Then I would use the remainder of the money to repair and resurface Mall drive and the perimeter roads.I think Lover's Lane is a residential street and should remain a residential street and every effort should be made to decrease traffic there, giving the residents a break from the insanity on that road and possibly increase property values.

i have already activated fm though another e mail account which i no longer use i cannot remember the password for this account, i need to know how toget it to work
i have already activated fm though another e mail account which i no longer use i cannot remember the password for this account, i need to know how toget it to work
Can someone help urgently
Does your email have a 'forgotten your password?' type link?
it is an old email from my ex, she wont let me get into it, when i try to activate the game through steam its saying its already activated through my old e mail
If it is already activated, why do you need to do it again?
Or are you trying to activate the same product key on a different Steam account?
i am trying to active through a new steam account and a new e mail
Your copy of FM will be linked to your other Steam account then, you can't activate the same copy of FM on more than one Steam account for obvious reasons.
I think your only two options are to regain access to your previous Steam account or to buy another copy of FM.
how do i get my old steam acc back cannot remember the user id
You can email steam but you will need the account details before they will do anything, you will need at least the email add and username.
i have e mailed heard nothing
remember its the 1st today, i would highly doubt anyone will be working today.
i know that bud cheers for the help anyway
Is there no way at all of you accessing your old account? If you have the email add you could change the password for that and give your ex the details after, that way you can get back into your steam account and then set it to a new email address to avoid this happening again.
woman scorned mate !!!! will never happen
Haha gutted for you mate!
All I can suggest is that you contact STEAM: http://community.sigames.com/showthr...tion-Steam-FAQ
Sadly our FAQ doesn't cater for ex's withholding users passwords
Please bare in mind the time of year so they might not get back straight away.
right i now managed to get my old account up, but i try installing fm type product key in it still says its activated elsewhere
you dont need to put your key back in, when you load up steam FM will be in the games library, you will just need to re-install through there.
its not there it must be on a different account

I have got the following problem. I am trying to connect my Ubuntu machine to a wireless network (WPA2 Personal). I am sure that I am providing the correct key, however I am not able to connect to the network. On the other hand there is completely no problem connecting to this network from a Windows machine nor from a mobile device (Android).
Also there is no problem connecting to a WPA2 network provided by a router set up on a smart phone, so this does not look like a hardware issue of an old machine.
Has anybody stumbled upon a similar problem?
UPDATE: After a very interesting discussion with gertvdijk it turned out that this is highly probable that the problem here is that the network I am connecting to. It uses
CCMP and not
TKIP. I am not able to change this, so I am looking for another solution. The wireless card seems to have
CIPHER-CCMP on its list.
EDIT: The output of
lspci -nn | grep 0280 is:

I've been on an introductory fitness routine for several months to slim down. I've managed to lose 30lb (down to 180 from 210, I'm 6' 1" so this puts me to the upper limit of my BMI), and I've developed some muscle. I'd now like to start researching supplements to build mass (not a lot, just enough to fill out my shirts better), and find out the best time to ingest nutrients to optimize the availability of them during my workout. Is it better to take my shakes before or after exercising ? One hour apart ? 2 ? 3 ? Please forgive my ignorance, this is all really new.

The best time to take protein shakes is within half an hour after exercise. I actually take it right after my last set even before I take my shower. Also taking a shake during the day is recommended because your body needs a lot of protein when working out.
Link with a study about when it's best to eat protein (immediately after your work out):
If you're taking creatine it's normally advised to take it 30-45 minutes before training.
Normally, supplement labels have an advisory on when to take them.

Simulating various configurations and cost estimates aids in the selection of a steam methane reformer for hydrogen production
[steam methane reformer]
[heat transfer]
Hydrogen (H2) demand in the refining sector will continue to
increase due to the trend of processing heavier and sourer
crude oil. Additionally, more stringent regulations on refinery products, such as tighter
sulfur and aromatics specifications, will drive H2
consumption. Another influencing factor is the replacement of
older facilities to achieve greater
efficiency and reliability. The H2
demand may be initially small (110 million standard cubic
feet per day [MMscfd]) or mid-size (1120 MMscfd). These
requirements are likely to evolve as the project is developed.
Therefore, it is necessary to have flexibility in developing
the project, and it is important to
consider different options in terms of incremental
H2 supply.
There are two basic configurations for a steam methane
reformer (SMR) design: can and box.
Each design has its pros and cons and range of applicability,
as discussed below.
A can reformer consists of a cylindrical,
up-fired furnace that houses the catalytic reformer. Fig. 1
shows a picture of a typical H2 plant based on a can
configuration. A cylindrical geometry for the reformer furnace
provides excellent heat transfer characteristics. Furthermore,
it is the most cost-effective design for relatively small
H2 requirements, taking manufacturability and
transportation into account. These plants are standardized in
design and modular in construction, with relatively short
field construction schedules. The capacity
of a single can reformer can range from 0.2 MMscfd to over 8.0
MMscfd of H2. Capacity can be doubled with a dual
can design. The following plant configurations are available to
meet specific project requirements:
In a high-export steam configuration, heat recovery
from both flue gas and process gas streams is maximized to
generate steam. There is no combustion air preheat. Typically,
the amount of export steam is ~100 lb per 1,000 scf of
H2 produced. This configuration is attractive when
low-cost fuel gas is available.
In low-energy units, combustion air and reformer
feed temperatures are optimized to minimize energy consumption.
Energy consumption can be as low as 400 British thermal units
(Btu) per scf of H2 produced.1
High-efficiency units can be designed as a
combination of the two cases presented above.
Box reformer plants can also be designed for either low
operating cost or low-capital, maximum-steam production. These
configurations will result in different project-specific waste-heat recovery
concepts. The integration of refinery offgas as feed or fuel can
be considered to further improve efficiency. A picture of a
typical box reformer is shown in Fig. 2.
A key consideration for selecting whether the reformer
configuration should be can or box is the H2
production capacity. However, there is a certain gray
area that permits the use of either a can or box reformer
(Fig. 3). In such situations, it is necessary to take a close
look at the associated steam production and possible future expansion plans. A detailed economic
assessment must be carried out, taking into account capital and
operating costs and the required plant flexibility. Project
schedule, transportation limitations and general site
conditions are other important factors to be considered. The
ability to simulate, side-by-side, the various configurations
and options by combining different technologies or process
steps is the key to finding the best overall solution.
Selecting a hydrogen plant requires an in-depth assessment
of capital and operating costs for both a can and box reformer.
Ideally, it is important to engage a company that designs, owns
and operates H2 plants based on in-house technology for a range of plant
sizes. Such a company has the ability to evaluate the entire
gamut of possibilities for H2 production. The ideal
technology supplier is one that also
owns and operates large industrial gas processing plants. At
the Linde Group, experience from operating plants is fed back
to the engineering group for continuous improvement of
performance and reliability, ensuring the best plant
design and overall solution for a given set of circumstances.

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.

Every year or so I make an attempt to "really" learn the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. I always find that I give up because my analysis background is too weak -- most of the sources spend a lot of time discussing the topology and algebra, but very little time on the analysis. Question : is there a "fun" source for reading about the appropriate parts of analysis?
I found Booss, Bleecker: "Topology and analysis, the Atiyah-Singer index formula and gauge-theoretic physics" (review) very beautifull and had read it just for fun. It is a very nice piece of exposition, motivates everything and demands from the reader only very little preknowledge.
I know it may seem rather "old", but the notes from the IAS "Seminar on the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem from back in 1965 (published by Princeton Univ. Press) may be just what you are looking for, since it covers all the analytic machinery in great detail. It was written to be easily accessible to a math graduate student who had a basic analysis course.
You need to understand pseudodifferential operators if you want to understand the original statement of the full Atiyah-Singer index theorem. However, in most applications to differential geometry, only the theorem for twisted Dirac operators is needed. (One of the main results of Atiyah and Singer is that the Bott periodicity theorem - or rather, its generalization to vector bundles, the Thom isomorphism theorem for K-theory - reduces the general case to that of twisted Dirac operators.)
If you want to learn the theory of pseudodifferential operators, I recommend the original papers of Kohn and Nirenberg and Hörmander. This theory is not needed to prove the Atiyah-Singer index theorem: you can get away with the existence of an asymptotic solution of the heat equation. To see this in action, see the paper of McKean and Singer.
One advantage of the heat-kernel approach is that it is well-adapted to study the generalizations of the theory, such as the theory of analytic torsion and the family index theorem.
I first learnt about the Atiyah-Singer index theorem from Shanahan's Springer notes (638). I liked it because while developing the main theory, it went through the standard examples (Dirac, Dolbeaut, de Rham, signature) in some detail. At the time I was primarily interested in using index theory so wasn't so bothered about the details of the proof, but it does at least sketch the proof (it may do more, I don't remember and don't have a copy on my shelves) but I do remember that the words "pseudo-differential operator" occur which suggests that even if sketchy, the main points are all there. He also covers the equivariant theory.
Another place where it's put in context is Spin Geometry by Lawson and Michelsohn. That's quite nice because the whole theory of Dirac operators and Clifford algebras is developed from scratch so there are lots of "entry points" depending on whether or not you're more of an algebraist or geometer or other.
MR numbers:
Chapter 4 of Wells's "Differential Analysis on Complex Manifolds" is titled "Elliptic Operator Theory" and is, I think, close to what you want. It certainly explains why elliptic operators have finite-dimensional kernels and cokernels.
I'm also rather weak in analysis background, but I found the original paper rather readable.
There is also a "physicist's" proof of the index theorem. (No, really, keep reading!) Attached to every supersymmetric quantum field theory (or even quantum mechanics) there is something called the Witten index. There are quantum mechanical systems for which the Witten index coincides with the index of an elliptic operator (made out of the supercharges of the theory). It is not difficult to argue that the Witten index has a homotopy invariance property which allows one to compute it in different "temperature" regimes. At infinite temperature it simply counts the difference between the dimensions of the kernel and cokernel of the elliptic operator, whereas at zero temperature it can be evaluated to give an integral formula for the index in terms of characteristic classes. This can be made rigourous and the details can be found this paper of Getzler's.
Perhaps you will also like
"Heat kernels and Dirac operators" by Nicole Berline,Ezra Getzler,Michèle Vergne
Perhaps not the "full" Atiyah-Singer index theorem, but that for Dirac-Operators. So if you are more a differential-geometer than an "analysis-guy", I think this is an appropriate reference.
In addition another book by Gilkey (compare the post of José Figueroa-O'Farrill and the comment by Ryan Budney) should be very readable:
I have also good experience with the book of Lawson and Michelsohn. The theory of pseudo-elliptic differential operators is also well explained in the book of Wells, named "Analysis and complex geometry" (or something like that).
I agree with T. Booss and Bleecker is a very good book to learn about the index theorem from. It begins very gently indeed. (I'd have simply voted T's response up, but I don't have the permissions to do that yet.)
Ålthough written from the K-homology point of view, the book "Analytic K-homology" by Higson and Roe should be quite useful (both for basics about elliptic differential operators and index theory; iirc they sketch the proof of the index theorem for Spin^c manifolds).
I'm reading the original paper right now and finding it a little terse in some places, but a good guide. "Spin Geometry" by Michelson and Lawson has a chapter that covers in great detail all the analysis you need for index theory as well as complete proofs of the index theorem in all of its forms. It also has some decent chapters on K-theory (What you really need is to understand the Thom Isomorphism in K-theory. Segal's "Equivariant K-Theory" also has a nice description.)
Hope this helps.
If you have access to Atiyah's collected works at your library, try taking a look at those. There are a few transcribed lectures and short expository papers where he explains the context and motivation of the theorems. (If I remember correctly, they are classified as miscellanea and appear in the first volume, but there might also be some in the second volume. I don't have it at hand to check.)
He writes beautifully, and for myself, I didn't feel like I "got" the index theorem until I read these.
EDIT: Oops, I didn't read your question carefully enough: you are mostly looking for the analysis part. In that case I would just second the recommendation of the relevant chapter in Warner or Wells.
Antony Wasserman has some course notes including the index theorem itself, at least in special cases, but also with some very readable notes on background aspects of op alg and op theory. IMHO the style is pretty compressed, but the tools used are relatively accessible.
Liviu Nicolaescu's "Lectures on the Geometry of Manifolds" has a long chapter on differential operators on manifolds including elliptic operators.
If you're still interested in improving your background for understanding the ASIT, you can try with these lecture notes, from a course given at the Utrecht University by E.P van den Ban and M. Crainic.
The course spent time in the analytic part of (this) proof, going through pseudo-differential operators and it's symbols, and showing the role of Fourier Analysis in it's construction.

I can't seem to figure out the correct colors for Model #7150 TIE Fighter & Y-Wing inventory list. My son has four different colors of "gray". Two seem to be warmer in tone (almost a khaki color), and two seem to be coolor in tone (truly more gray). He also has a blue-ish slate gray (more light blue than gray). When the inventory specifies "old gray," is it referring to the light (khaki) gray? And is the "old dark gray" the darker (khaki) gray? Or is the inventory referring to the more cooler (truly gray) grays? I'm SO CONFUSED! Please help me!
Also keep in mind that color will change on some parts as they age (depending on environmental factors). New or less exposed parts in the "old grey" can be a different shade than original, aged parts in the same "old grey". The blue-grey parts that you have might actually be categorized as a blue instead.
Check out how lego sells the colors today, here: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-11998
The peeron color table is here: http://www.peeron.com/inv/colortable/3020
Check out your set here as well: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7150-1
The colors in the grey family (or sometimes confused as grey) are referred to as on brick set (on peeron if different): Black Dark Grey (OldDkGray) Dark Stone Grey (DkStone) Grey (OldGray) Medium Stone Grey (Stone) Sand Blue
Your set has "Grey" and "Black" from this list. If you ordered new parts from Lego, the lighter shade of grey would be "Medium Stone Grey" form this list.

Building Named in Honor of Woodford and Harriett Porter
The College of Education and Human Development now is housed in the Woodford R. and Harriett B. Porter Building
The College of Education and Human Development now is housed in the Woodford R. and Harriett B. Porter Building - so named Sept. 21 in a public ceremony that drew community leaders and friends of the Porters to campus.
The Porters were entrepreneurs, community leaders, philanthropists and lifelong supporters of education at all levels. They especially were supporters of the University of Louisville.
"Woody and Harriett understood that a college education does more than build a brighter future for graduates; it also builds a better, stronger community," UofL President James Ramsey said.
One of the university's most prominent scholarships — the Woodford R. Porter Scholarship — was named for him in the 1980s. Both Porters were supportive of the Society of Porter Scholars. The program provides monetary, academic, social and leadership support. "Without education there is no future and without Mr. Porter's dream my future would not be as promising," said Marcus Blakeney, a senior education major and Porter Scholar. "I'm honored to be a Porter Scholar and education major."

Controller listen to custom events in Architect 2
I want to decouple my Controller from my View, and as such do not want my Controller to listen to events raised by particular View components, but rather to application specific events that are raised by the View.
For instance, have the List select event fire an editRow event in the View and then have the Controller listen for this event and act accordingly.
When adding a Controller Action in Architect 2 I'm not able to manually enter and EventBinding name, only select one of the standard ones for the component type.
Is what I want to do sensible and is there an Architect 2 construct for it?
Any advice would be appreciated.
24 Apr 2012 2:56 AM #2
You can add a listener in the init method of your controller:
PHP Code:
init: function(application) {
this.addManagedListener(application, 'i18nChange', me.onI18nChange, me);
onI18nChange: function() {
24 Apr 2012 3:14 AM #3
Thank you kubens.
FYI, addManagedListener is deprecated and has been replaced by addListener. http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/...anagedListener
24 Apr 2012 3:45 AM #4
4 May 2012 8:16 AM #5
but how would you fire an event from say, a button press, that would be handled by the controller. I added the following line to my button handler:
this.fireEvent('CustomEvent', button);
and my controller is set up to listed for onCustomEvent.
But when I press the button , the controller function onCustomEvent is not called.
If this can't work in Architect, is there another way to just call a controller function directly from within a button press handler? (or a way to call a global function)?
Thanks in advance...
4 May 2012 9:37 AM #6
I'd like to know the same thing. In complex apps this would be something that architect would need to allow. Seems that controlling all components and their event directly by ref and control in the controller would make some really big, fat, ugly controllers. If you could have the choice to push some of that out to the views (which are really kind of "view-controllers" not purely views anyway) it would be nice.
I'd like to know if there is a performance difference in your scenario. As in, does controlling the button by ref and control in the controller directly perform better/faster than firing a custom event and trying to manage that?
8 May 2012 2:30 AM #7
5 Dec 2012 11:31 AM #8
8 Dec 2012 2:55 AM #9
in a button tap event add:

targetType: Ext.Button
fn: onCmdDoSomethingForMe
params: button
name: cmdLoadEntities

How to Draw Clothing Patterns and Prints
Draw a polka dot pattern.
Polka dots are forever. People wear them on clothes as babies and kids, and for tweens and teens, the print is perfect for bathing suits and sundresses.
When drawing polka dots, make sure that some fall into the folds, or else the look can be very flat. Not every dot has to be a complete circle — halve them as you reach hemlines and side seams.
Draw a fashion figure of a woman. Map out a short little romper for the figure.
Draw full and half polka dots that follow the folds of the fabric on the body's curves. Break dots in half and place each side of the dot on the line of the fold but a little staggered.
Scatter dots all over the print for a polka dot look. Polka dots can be drawn evenly spaced, almost in a grid-like fashion, but often they occur in a more random pattern.

There are people that do some sort of procedure with lead that they claim gets rid of Ayin Hara. Is this hocus pocus or true?
Sign up

Obviously you won't find any clear proof one way or the other. I'll just mention that the Tzemach Tzedek (OC siman 38) entertains the possibility that this procedure is effective for certain ailments, to the extent that he allows it to be performed on Shabbos (because of the possibility that it might save a life).
For a discussion about which people do this today: http://www.bhol-forums.co.il/topic.asp?topic_id=1671743&forum_id=771
I know of no source within Kabbalistic texts that state to do this.
Specifically when I asked Rav Kaduri ZTz"L about someone who did it in Jerusalem, he said it was ossur as a Kabbalah Maasit.
Second to that, the "procedure" that they do to remove the Ayin HaRa and prove that it has been removed is an old stage trick, my wife showed me how it was done.
A much simpler and often cheaper way to remove the Ayin Hara that is found both in the Kitvei HaAri as well as in other texts is to carry a piece of a plant called "Ruda". Many Mekubalim carry a piece that has been laminated. Also there is to hold a packet of salt in one's hand on the first day of Sefirat HaOmer, when saying the Omer, and then carrying that for the rest of the year.
As Mekubal said it was deemed to be Kabbala Maasit which was Asured by Rav Chaim Vital through the Ari 450 years ago. My cousin asked this question to Rav Yaakov Moshe Hilel, and he said it was Kabala Maasit. Once, I found some in my house and asked my Rav what to do, he said to through it out.
I asked my rabbi, a very good Chabad rabbi, about how to ward off an ayin hara and he said, "The best way to ward off an ayin hara is to ignore it." I am Ashkenazi and I was buying hamsas, wearing red strings, etc., until my rabbi told me I could "go crazy" doing such things and to trust that Hashem is protecting me. Yet, still, I believe it is a good idea not to tell people of something, i.e., a planned journey, etc., until it is "set in stone." In general, envious people will try to ruin your life because they are jealous of you. Even your fellow Jews, sometimes. The goyim are jealous of Jews and that's where the anti-Semitism starts from. May we only hear good things. Kol Tov!

2009 Goodguys Nashville Nationals - Hot Times In Music CityWritten by on December 1, 2009 The 4TH Annual Goodguys Nashville Nats
Known mostly for its deep roots in the country music industry, Nashville is a great place to visit, especially if you plan the trip around the Goodguys Nashville Nationals. Usually held the last weekend of June, the weather is always hot, but this year, the mixture of high temperatures and high humidity gave everyone an excuse to find a shade tree. To aid in the comfort of its participants and crew, Goodguys has changed the date of the Nashville Nationals, moving it to the month of May in hopes of pleasant springtime temperatures.
Despite the heat wave, nearly 2,000 hot rods rolled into the LP Field parking lot and enjoyed all that the show had to offer. The Street Challenge Autocross was a huge attraction all weekend long, even for the truck guys, as several classic pickups participated in the tricky course. Add to that, a packed swap meet, tons of vendors, and all sorts of good food, and you have one fun event. And if you didn't get your fill at the show during the day, a trip to the host hotel would certainly provide a good time, thanks to a big cruise-in.
The 4th Annual Nashville Nationals proved to be another great event, and the date change will only help it grow. For now, take a look at some of our favorite classic trucks in attendance, including the Finest Five award winners; go to www.good-guys.com for next year's dates, so you can check it out for yourself.

With help from G&S Custom Fabrication and Suspension the guys assembled a great-handling pickup, which made countless laps around the autocross.Old-school flavor is abundant with this low-down F-100, and we love it. Satin silver and pinstriped scallops complement the black steelies and wide whites.Phillip Bailey's '58 Chevy is coated in satin green paint, with pinstriping to spice things up. The stepside pickup sits low over a set of chrome steelies and wide whites, giving it a simple, clean appearance.
Coming from Lyman, South Carolina, Dan Burnette thrashed on his '72 C-10 in the autocross all weekend. A tuned port-injected small-block motivates the Cheyenne and even caused a few hairy moments when Burnette's right foot got a little heavy.With tons of cool features and a modern Ford powerplant, this '38 Ford pickup belongs to Bill Sellers of Lebanon, Tennessee. Slick paint, a nice stance, and a tasteful leather interior make for one cool truck.The Nashville Nationals was a hot one, even for Texas-native Billy Pool. He owns this killer '53 F-100, which rides on a Fatman Fabrications chassis and receives plenty of power from a Chevy mill. Marvin Cherney is responsible for the flawless bodywork and slick Copperhead paint.Bill Townsend's '48 Ford pickup proves that simple styling is the key to a cool truck; he took a Finest Five award back to his home in Caruthersville, Missouri. The yellow F-1 features a killer interior, lots of pinstriping, and a trick bed cover.It's not shiny but it sure is cool-this '72 Blazer looks like a blast to drive. Bryan Ashley is the proud owner of the eternally topless Chevy, which was built by Jason Bullock. Rolling on 20- and 22-inch Coys, the truck sits just right and sounds good, too.With a crowd around it all weekend long, this '66 Chevy Crew Cab produced lots of questions for the owner, Trent Beasley. Even though a handful of these trucks were built in the '60s, this is totally Beasley's creation and features include an LS2 engine and a nicely detailed interior.
