|Denali Traverse
Date Climbed: May 27, 2010
|I did Denali traverse with my buddy. Ascent by West Buttress and descent by Muldrow Glacier. We were the only team sucessfuly crossing Muldrow this season. Ascent in 10days was in beutiful weather and pretty straighforward. Decent was by far my most dangerous adventure including falling in numerous cervasses (one really deep, getting out in whiteout took me 2 hours), almost loosing a ten, findig way out in glacier maze, crossing rivers, milions mosquitos and constant stress. I recommend this route for any mountaineer with sense of adventure and tired of tipical "normal route" crowd. life-changing experience

|Seemed to be cruising the mountain when my partner got sick on what would have been our summit day. I would have liked to stay and finish the job but it didn't work out that way. 17 days on the mountain and already looking forward to next year. I don't normally sign the climber's log for an unsuccessful trip but I feel this one was worth noting. Saw Tim Medvets at 11k haha.

Dave Stoddard performs in studio
Being compared to Randy Newman isn't a bad thing for most musicians. And Dave Stoddard loves it. He's a songwriter originally from Wisconsin, but makes his home in Fergus Falls these days. He writes, well...like Randy Newman, only he's not. His songs are very clever. They can be funny, heavy or sweet enough to draw a tear.
He made chocolate chip cookies and brought them to The Morning Show studio with Dale and Jim Ed.
Songs performed: "The First Thanksgiving," "My Town," or "River of Love."

When looking at buying climbing ropes, they are rated to a number of "UIAA falls".
What does that mean?
Although I am not a lab technician it is important to understand the dynamics at play in these tests. Below is the best example I have read on the subject.
For the full article please read below.
NOTE: Also included is the section on "impact force", which is a factor of the fall height, weight of the climber, amount of rope "out" at time of fall, and rope stretch. It is important to know as it can directly effect your safety.
Fall Test Overview
Impact Force
It means the rope is rated for X falls where the fall factor is 1.77 and the weight is 80kg. In layman's terms it's a pretty big fall with a pretty big guy, the sort of fall that if you took you most likely wouldn't want to climb again for the rest of the day! You may well never have such a big fall at all (in fact I'd hope you wouldn't!)
That said, the number is a rough guide and visual inspections should still take place regularly, especially on older rope that may have degraded over time. Equally because it's huge falls that the rope is rated for, don't feel that after x amount of (normal) falls you have to chuck it.
I'm sure I've seen some ropes with built in fall counters that work in terms of UIAA falls (measuring increments) if you feel that would be useful. In practice I wouldn't say it's necessary, but if you want one for added peace of mind then it might be something to consider.
Just to add to this answer, "fall factor" can be also thought of as this:

Dark is fine, but no TV is a crisis
Now, I'm not blaming the power company. The outages were caused by two hurricanes and one freak October snow storm. However many citizens did criticize the power company vehemently, apparently for not sprinkling magic fairy dust on the shattered electric grid and restoring everyone's power in one hour. I realize that removing a zillion fallen trees, installing a gazillion new utility poles, and stringing up a bazillion miles of new wire takes a little more time than that — such as two hours.
No doubt there was a lot of hardship because of these prolonged power outages. A mazillion people endured days of no light, no heat, and no hot food. State officials and utility company executives commissioned a kazillion studies about the impact of the power failures and issued a fazillion lengthy reports designed to minimize the hardship of future events. A pazillion media pundits also offered their opinions on how the government should assist people during these crises. And, of course, a trazillion average citizens shared their opinions on various call-in talk shows, blogs, and letters-to-the-editor pages.
But one crucial aspect of these power outages has been completely ignored. The greatest hardship of being forced to live days on end without electricity is explained by this simple statement: no power means no TV.
In the wake of these storms, I spoke to many people about their ordeals. (Approximate number of people to whom I spoke: one quazillion.) By far their biggest complaint was having to go so many days in a row without television. Yes, they had to use candles instead of electric lights; yes, they had to wrap themselves in blankets because their homes were so chilly; yes, they had to eat cold Spaghetti-Os out of the can rather than cook on their stoves. They relayed these inconveniences to me with hearty New England resolve and resignation. But when the discussion turned to the lack of television, these stoic New Englanders broke down and cried worse than Lindsay Lohan during one of her monthly crises, for example, being arrested or breaking a nail.
Some folks have significant medical issues that were impacted by the power outages, such as the electric pumps on their portable oxygen tanks. But to be honest, if my friends and relatives are any indication, if forced to make a choice between oxygen and television, most of them would say, "Um, let me first check the TV Guide to see what's on before I give you my answer."
We need television that much. I suppose we could have a discussion about WHY we need television so much, and whether that's a good thing. But I suspect there are a nazillion state residents who would tar and feather (and televise) anyone rude enough to make such a proposal.
So I think what the state government ought to do before the next major storm, as a way to minimize the complaints and allow people to endure lengthy power outages, is to provide every home with a mini generator and satellite dish. During a power failure the folks still will have to light candles, wrap themselves in blankets, and eat Spaghetti-Os from the can. But while they're doing that, they will be able to watch Judge Judy and Dr. Phil and ESPN and reruns of The Big Bang Theory. Instead of being exasperated after a few days without power, I suspect the average hearty Nutmegger with a functioning TV could go much longer without complaining. My guess is: a wazillion days.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
IPC Report Reveals the Growing Political Power of Immigrants and Their Children
Examines the growing electoral clout of New Americans: naturalized immigrants and the U.S.-born children of immigrants raised during the current era of immigration that began in 1965.
Late on Election Day, pundits will begin to identify the demographic groups who are responsible for swinging the results in key races around the nation. The Immigration Policy Center has released a groundbreaking report, entitled The New American Electorate: The Growing Political Power of Immigrants and Their Children, which examines, for the first time, the growing electoral clout of a previously unidentified yet pivotal group of voters in key states around the nation: New Americans—naturalized immigrants and the U.S.-born children of immigrants raised during the current era of immigration that began in 1965.
The report finds:
- New Americans Were Nearly 9% of All Registered Voters in 2006.
- The Number of New American Registered Voters Jumped Nearly 60% between 1996 and 2004.
- New Americans' Share of Registered Voters Exceeded the 2004 Victory Margins in 16 States, including battlegrounds like Nevada, Florida, New Mexico and Pennsylvania.
State Snapshots:
New Americans accounted for 14.8% of all registered voters in Nevada, while the margin of victory in the Presidential race in 2004 amounted to only 2.2% of registered voters.
New Mexico
New Americans accounted for 7.0% of all registered voters in New Mexico, while the margin of victory in the Presidential race in 2004 amounted to only 0.6% of registered voters.
New Americans accounted for 6.2% of all registered voters in Virginia in 2006, while the margin of victory in the 2004 Presidential race amounted to only 7.6% of registered voters in the state.
What's to come?
2008 is expected to be a banner year for New American voters due to record-breaking naturalization rates (3 million more naturalized citizens are eligible to vote now than during the 2004 Presidential election); turbo-charged registration efforts by groups like the We Are America Alliance and "Ya es Hora, Ve y Vota;" and aggressive GOTV efforts in ethnic communities which will likely result in Latino turnout hitting record highs in 2008—surpassing the 7.6 million Latino voters who turned out in 2004.

TOURS (February 6, 2013)—McLennan County sheriff's investigators have found a witness who saw a car speed off immediately after someone opened fire on St. Martin's Church in Tours, causing thousands of dollars in damages.
Investigator Jason Davis said many residents in the area of the church off of Heritage Parkway between Waco and West said they heard the gunfire at around 3:30 a.m. Sunday.
Ten bullets struck the church, damaging an 80-year-old statue, stained glass windows and interior walls, causing at least $8,000 in damage.
Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to call Davis directly at (254) 757-5122.

MOUNDSVILLE - There has always been a rivalry when Madonna and Bishop Donahue get together to play football. Both are small parochial schools in the Northern Panhandle and both teams are on a roll and vying for playoff positions in the West Virginia Class A rankings.
Madonna goes into Friday's game with a record of 4-1 while the Bishops are 5-1. The game will be played at Monarch Stadium with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
"Bishop Donahue is a well coached team with a lot of good athletes and they are on a roll winning four in a row," said Madonna coach Doug Taylor. "They obviously have a lot of confidence. They definitely are a pretty good football team."

Ursuline at Big Red
STEUBENVILLE - Records can indeed be deceiving.
Case in point: the 3-3 record Youngstown Ursuline will bring with it to Harding Stadium for Friday's 7 p.m. start.
The Irish, under first year coach Larry Kempe, started the season with victories over Youngstown East, Cleveland East Tech and Mentor Lake Catholic. Since then, Ursuline has fallen to Division II Zanesville (6-0), Division I Lakewood St. Edward (6-0) and Pennsylvania power Erie Cathedral Prep (5-0).
Big Red's Reno Saccoccia indicated the first of many challenges Ursuline poses is "the toughness of the schedule they play."
"They're 3-3, but they have lost to three unbeaten teams," he said.
"So, they haven't been playing chopped liver."
Beallsville at Toronto
TORONTO - The Toronto Red Knights find themselves winners of two in a row after an 0-4 start following a 48-28 win at St. John Central in Week 6. The improvement being seen on the field has head coach Eric Meek feeling good about his young squad.
"I think what I'm happy about No. 1 is we seem to be more aggressive now," he said. "I thought that would happen with time. A month ago we were diving when tackling, and now we're coming from the ground up like high school players should be tackling.
"Our turnover margin was minus-10 a few weeks ago and now it is minus four. It's not where we want to be, but we are a lot better. I think we're more physical and we're playing with confidence."
Standing in their way of three in a row is Beallsville. Despite their 1-5 record Meek sees the Blue Devils' offense, led by stellar quarterback Teryn Jarret, as being a dangerous opponent.
Bellaire at Harrison Central
CADIZ - The seventh meeting between Harrison Central and Bellaire is on tap at 7:30 p.m. today at Wagner Field and the series is knotted at three apiece with the Big Reds having taken the last two showdowns.
There is certainly more riding on this game than just series bragging rights as both the Huskies and Big Reds are in the thick of playoff chases in their respective regions.
The Big Reds are currently ranked sixth in Division V, Region 17 and are trying to snap a two-game losing streak, which has included lopsided setbacks to once-beaten Indian Creek and unblemished St. Clairsville.
The Huskies, meanwhile, were in the boat of lop-sided loser to the Red Devils, but regained their momentum with an impressive road victory at Edison. Harrison Central finds itself in sixth place in Division IV, Region 15.
"I don't know what it is, but every time we play (Bellaire), the games always turn into a dandy," said Huskies' head coach Justin Kropka. "I always like playing against Bellaire and it's good for Ohio Valley football when Bellaire is good."
St. Clairsville at Edison
RICHMOND - Things get no easier for the Edison Wildcats.
Seven days after Harrison Central wore them out in the second half of a 35-21 Huskies victory, the Wildcats host 6-0 St. Clairsville at 7:30 p.m. today at Cartwright Field.
"This is one of the best teams we have faced in my seven years here," said Edison head coach Mike McKenzie. "We played Steubenville in '06, the year they won their second straight state title, but other than that there probably isn't a team that compares. They're an elite team."
Buckeye Local at Union Local
MORRISTOWN - Teams in desperate need of a victory are set to lock horns at 7 p.m. today.
The Jets, who've lost 24 of their last 26 games, including last week's game at Indian Creek, will welcome Buckeye Local (3-3), which is coming off a 40-0 loss at the hands of Martins Ferry last week in Yorkville.
Both Mark Cisar and Phil Pest are looking at this week's game in very similar manners.
"This is a winnable game for us, and I am sure Buckeye Local is looking at it the same way," Cisar said.
You're exactly right, coach.
"We know Union Local," Pest said. "We know we have to take care of the ball, play better on pass defense and if we do that, it's a very winnable game for us.
"We have to fight for every win. We struggled last week against Martins Ferry and we were missing our fullback and our tailback. Union Local is a improving team and we have to be ready for a good ball club."
Indian Creek at Martins Ferry
MARTINS FERRY - Purple Rider Stadium at the Dave Bruney Football Complex is a tough place for visiting teams to go into and get a victory.
Indian Creek head coach Andrew Connor knows that all too well.
"Since I've been the head coach, we've never won at Martins Ferry," Connor said. "We're making that a point of emphasis and nothing more because that's where our focus needs to be.
"You start with consistency of having Coach Bruney there so you know they're well coached. Every year they do well with the fundamentals of football."
The Purple Riders will be looking to extend that streak tonight when the Redskins visit for a 7 p.m. kickoff in a game that has crucial OHSAA postseason points on the line.
Oak Glen at Tyler Consolidated
SISTERSVILLE - The Oak Glen football team may have gotten more out of its 33-12 victory over Hancock County rival, Weir High, than the win. The Golden Bears may have come out of the game with their identity.
Heavily favored, but in the lead by just 7-0 at the half last week at the Jimmy Carey Stadium, Oak Glen coach Ian Whittington and his staff decided to buckle up their chinstraps and run the football right at the Red Rider defense.
It worked, as they scored two unanswered touchdowns to virtually put the game away. The defense allowed two long touchdown passes to narrow the score, but the formula for success was discovered.
Now, Whittington said the Bears will use the same formula against Tyler Consolidated when they travel south to Tyler County today for a 7 p.m. start.
"We think the key to beating Tyler Consolidated is to use our size to our advantage and continue to run the football and run it with power," Whittington explained. "We need to control the football and impose our will on them, control the clock and run the football."
Magnolia at Weir High
WEIRTON - The Weir High Red Riders will take their seventh shot this evening at getting that illusive first win of the 2012 season, but there are long odds that the homecoming crowd will see it happen.
First, the Riders face one of the better teams in the state's small school ranks, Magnolia, which has won five of six games. Magnolia High School in New Martinsville has experienced a decline in enrollment and this year was reclassified into the West Virginia Class A ranks from AA.
The Blue Eagles, which won the Class AA state championship a couple of years ago, is ranked No. 7 in Class A this week.
If facing a formidable opponent like Magnolia isn't enough, the Red Riders could be looking at getting that first win without the services of their starting quarterback, William Larch.

DALLAS (January 1, 2012)—Jimmy Bernard Billingsley of Fort Worth has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for knowingly infecting a woman with HIV.
Billingsley previously pleaded guilty to aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury.
He admitted knowing since 2008 that he was HIV-positive but still having unprotected sex with a woman he was dating in 2009.
Billingsley faced as much as 20 years in prison, but the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office said state District Judge Robb Catalano settled on 15 years.
Prosecutors said Billingsley admitted to being intimate on numerous occasions with a woman he met in 2009.
The woman later learned she was HIV-positive and called police because Billingsley was the only man with whom she'd had sex.

After the introduction of the tank in WW1, what effect did their introduction have on how battles were carried out, and strategies were formulated?
Ironically, even though tanks were introduced in 1916 (at the battle of the Somme), they had little impact on World War I. They did not break up the trench warfare of the time (even though they were designed to do that).
It was during the period BETWEEN the two world wars, that generals thought about tanks. The British expert was Basil Lidell-Hart, and the Germans produced great theorists like Guderian and Rommel. In the U.S. the foremost tank specialist was Patton. The idea arose that tanks could be used independently of (rather than as an adjunct to), foot soldiers. By turning tanks "loose," they could be a highly "disruptive" force (in today's terminology), with mainly MOTORIZED infantry support..
The result was a new form of warfare known as the "Blitzkrieg" that was the antithesis of World War I tactics. But that arose only after 20+ years of thinking during an "interwar" period.
Broad answer for a broad question: the introduction of tanks shifted the advantage back in favour of the attacker.
During WWI, the machine gun made it very easy to defend a chunk of ground. You dug some trenches to protect against shells, set up this heavy weapon, and mowed down anyone who came too close. That's why they had such huge casualties for very small shifts in the battle lines.
Tanks were a way to get around that; the internal combustion engine let you move machine guns and cannons - and their crew, and armour for the crew - to where the enemy was. The full implications of that increased mobility were worked out in the interwar period, and led to the much faster and more far-ranging style of fighting in WWII.

Twelve-year-old Cameron Barton has been working hard on her 4H project for the Kentucky State Fair.
Barton says: "A little over a year."
The Metcalfe County Middle School student is displaying a project on her family's genealogy.
Barton says: "I went to ancestry.com and signed up there and I got war records and wedding record. And I sent off to the Library of Congress and found all kinds of stuff."
Cameron's grandmother and great grandmother helped her with the project. It wasn't cheap either. Altogether it costs about $1700 to complete.
Barton says: "The embellishments, the scrapbooks, sending off to ancestry.com (it's $100 to sign up there), Library of Congress costs a lot of money, the stickers, the pictures, everything!"
She learned a lot about her family's roots while working on the project.
She says: "My great, great grandfather. And two of them were in the first battle of the Revolutionary War."
All of Cameron's hard work paid off in the end.
She says: "I got first in my class and first place. I'm excited. I didn't think I'd get very much, but when we came here and I looked at the book I was like, 'Oh my gosh.'"
Cameron is hoping to enter the project in other contests. If you are going to the state fair and would like to see her family tree, it's located in the West Wing of the Fair and Exposition Center. It's in the 4H section.

I'm looking for a reference that gives an overview of the most important properties of Arakelov intersection theory (on arithmetic varieties of arbitrary dimension) and that describes basic properties of the Arakelov Chow ring. There's a similar MO question asking about survey articles on (classical) intersection theory, so I guess that I'm asking the same question, but for Arakelov intersection theory.
A good reference in my humble opinion is Bost's paper in Bourbaki:
Théorie de l'intersection et théorème de Riemann-Roch arithmétiques
Séminaire BOURBAKI. Novembre 1990. 43ème année, 1990-91, n° 731
Another reference would be Soule's book on Arakelov geometry "Lectures on Arakelov geometry" written with Abramovich, Burnol and Kramer.
Finally, I know you didn't ask this, but in the case of arithmetic surfaces there are more references (besides Faltings' "Calculus on arithmetic surfaces" and Arakelov's original paper). For example, Deligne's paper "le determinant de la cohomologie" and R. de Jong's Ph.D. thesis: http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/~rdejong/publications/thesis.pdf Also, Moret-Bailly's paper "Metriques permises" in Szpiro's 1985 Asterisque is wonderful.

Suppose from the Hamiltonian I got the Primary constraints $$(\Phi_m,\Phi)$$ And $\dot \Phi_m$ , $\dot \Phi$ leads to secondary constraints $$(\gamma_m,\gamma)$$ respectively. Now if the commutation of $\Phi_m$ with $\gamma_m$ is non zero (i.e they both are second class) does it terminate the commutation chain there?
OP wrote(v1):
No, not necessarily. The rest of the $4\times 4$ matrix $\{\chi^i,\chi^j\}$ of the $4$ constraints still contains unspecified entries.
Finally, don't forget to check if there are tertiary constraints, quaternary constraints, etc.
To follow the process of deducation, \dot{\kappa}={\kappa,H_T}, to find whether there are some other new constraints. If there are no any new constraints, you can be taken as you are at the end.

Road-Ready Biscayne - Summit 700-R4 Automatic TransmissionWritten by on August 17, 2013 Part 3: You're Going to Do What?
We are going to do the unthinkable with our Road-Ready Biscayne. We're switching from a four-speed manual to an automatic transmission. But before you spike the magazine onto the floor in disgust, let me explain.
First, this car was originally a six-cylinder three-speed car that, when it was restored, got its Tri-power W motor and four-speed. It's not an original Z/28 or SS396. Second, the automatic we are installing is not a Powerglide or even a 350, but a 700-R4 overdrive—a performance automatic overdrive. And if you recall, we're driving from San Diego to Detroit, and at this moment, gas is $4 a gallon. You do the math. A 30 percent reduction in rpm at highway speed will give us a few extra mpg, and then, if you consider the slow-moving traffic on Woodward during the Dream Cruise, well, it all makes sense now, doesn't it?
We are fond of one-stop shopping and contacted Summit Racing Equipment for the 700-R4 transmission and components. Summit's tech staff took plenty of time to ensure that we had the correct torque converter for our application and even ask about the tire size and rearend ratio so they could add the proper speedometer gear. The smaller components came first, followed by the transmission on a UPS truck. As we uncrated the transmission we noticed the larger chrome pan with a drain plug and the transmission's dyno test sheet.
With the car on a hoist, we removed the driveshaft, transmission crossmember, transmission and shifter, bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch pedal, and linkage. We used a transmission jack to lift the new 700-R4 temporarily into place for a test fitting. We knew from the start that we would have to modify the transmission crossmember and shorten the driveshaft. With the transmission in place, it allowed us to take accurate measurements for both modifications. Jerry Harder, owner of Oceanside Driveline, came over to make the driveshaft measurements. He wanted to make sure that after he shortened the driveshaft it would have ⅝ inch of clearance at the tailshaft with the rear wheels in a normal ride height position. This ensures that any up-and-down movement of the rear axle will not cause the yoke to bottom out or be pulled out of the tailshaft.
With the driveshaft in process we concentrated on modifying the crossmember. We modified our original crossmember by cutting the centersection out and doglegging it back to pick up the transmission's rear mount. With the transmission in place, supported by the transmission jack, we added the rear-mount centersection to the transmission, mated up the two ends, and tack-welded them in place. We then removed the tack-welded crossmember, added a few gussets for strength, and did our finish welding on a bench. The only other modification necessary was a quarter-inch clearance notch on the crossmember's forward flange to clear the transmission's pan. Also with the transmission in place, we checked to make sure we had sufficient transmission-to–floor pan clearance.
Back on the bench, we added the connections for the Summit-provided Lokar flexible dipstick and throttle valve (tv) cable. We also mounted the Summit torque converter. Throughout this entire process we made sure to keep all of the openings in the transmission plugged or covered to prevent even the smallest amount of dirt from entering.
When we ordered the transmission, Summit's customer service rep asked about the type of carburetor we had on the engine. This was to ensure that we would be sent the correct tv connection for the carburetor. The tv cable controls line pressures, shift points, and part-throttle downshifts—it is the link to the ghost in the machine that makes it all work. That makes it one of the most critical portions of the 700-R4 installation. Following the tv cable installation instructions to the letter is a must!
The torque converter used in the 700-R4 is a lockup design that's activated electro-hydraulically. As an original equipment installation, the 700-R4's lockup was accomplished through the car's computer. But with no computer, the lockup can also be wired independently with a toggle switch, which is what we will do. When locked up, the inherent torque converter slippage is eliminated, dropping highway speed rpm by approximately 300.
Since the Biscayne is an original stick-shift car, this swap offered us some options for shift linkage. We could have found an automatic steering column, but we also had a hole in the floor where the four-speed's linkage entered the passenger compartment. We liked the look of Lokar's new bench seat shifter, and its floor mount design allowed us to use the existing opening in the floor pan. It also has the same swizzle stick look as Chevrolet's original four-speed shifter, with the convenience of detents and a Neutral safety switch.

2. This is the top view of the modified crossmember. It originally was one continuous section. The centersection was cut out and then doglegged back to pick up the transmission's rear mount. Gussets and doublers were added for extra strength.3. Prior to installing the torque converter, we lubed the input shaft with automatic transmission fluid. Care must be taken to seat the torque converter into the transmission and fully engage the internal pump. We chose not to fill the torque converter with transmission fluid prior to mounting it on the transmission. After installation we will start the car momentarily, letting the transmission's pump fill the torque converter, and then add the extra quart of fluid to the transmission.4. We added the flexplate using new bolts, with Loctite, and torqued them to spec. It is possible to install the flexplate backwards, but its ring gear teeth will not mesh with the starter's pinion.5. The only small change required to the modified crossmember was a quarter-inch cut on the forward flange to provide clearance to the transmission's pan.6. With the transmission bolted in place, the gap between the torque converter's attachment bosses and flexplate must be between 1⁄8 and 3⁄16 inch. We split that difference at 5⁄32. Proper bolts, Loctite, and correct torque settings are a must.

Synopsis and concrete practices
Everyone is thanked for their comments, and in view of the diversity of views expressed, I have converted this question to a community wiki.
Here is a working synopsis:
With regard to the alternative hyphenations
Kro-necker, the "advanced search" feature of Google Books establishes that both hyphenations are in common usage.
The rules of German-language orthography are sufficiently intricate, and the etymology of the name
Kroneckeris sufficiently obscure, as to provide well-founded justifications for either hyphenation.
No one has come forth with a set of standardized hyphenations for mathematician's names that is in-use by a major mathematical journal or publishing house.
In light of the preceding findings, one reasonable practice is the following:
Include in the LaTex preamble a list of problematic mathematician's names that (by default) forbids their hyphenation (this was Theo Johnson-Freyd's excellent recommendation):
\hyphenation{Kronecker Riemann Spivak}
Upon the (rare) occasions that acceptable typography requires hyphenation of one of these names, then in the body of the manuscript optional hyphens can be inserted in the LaTeX file:
\LaTeX optionally hyphenates Kron\-ecker Rie\-mann Spi\-vak
In placing optional hyphens, lend equal weight to common usage and correct orthography (recognizing that these can be ambiguous upon occasion).
Search methods help resolve problematic cases, for example the hyphenation
Rie-mannis overwhelmingly preferred over
And finally, we should all remember to be grateful to Donald Knuth, who gave us the wonderful tools that allow us to balance good orthography with good typography.
Original question
The question asked is:
Kro-necker versus Kron-ecker: which hyphenation is preferred?
Equivalently, in TeX/LaTeX should one include "
\hyphenation{Kron-ecker}" in the preamble? Or should one simply accept the default TeX/LaTeX hyphenation "Kro-necker"?
A search of the tex-hyphen archives provides neither guidance specifically on "Kronecker," nor general guidance on preferred hyphenations for mathematician's names (except to show that there is a community of people who care passionately about these lexicographical issues).
Therefore, instantly "accepted" will be any MathOverflow answer that provides a standardized "
\hyphenation{...}" file (including mathematician's names) from any respected mathematical journal or publishing house.
Although this question is perhaps not the most important ever asked on MatherOverflow, such a preferred-hyphenation list would be welcomed by me, and (IMHO) by many mathematical writers. For example, are there other problematic mathematical names?
Recognizing too that some folks are relatively indifferent to mathematical hyphenation, these folks can provide instruction and amusement by offering opinions on the question "Why has the usage of 'Kronecker' been increasing inexorably for the past fifty years?"
As Mark Twain might have put it:
Any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the year 52,011 or thereabouts, every book produced by human civilization will consist solely of the sentence "Kronecker, Kronecker, Kronecker,…"
There is something fascinating about Google's Books Ngram Viewer. One gets such wholesale returns of conjectures, out of such a trifling investment of fact.
However, any opinions offered in this regard, no matter how erudite or amusingly stated, will not be considered as answers.

"Lizabeth's Bag" is almost perfect. She's mid-size, has a beautiful hourglass figure (at least the lower half), offers plenty of options, and is sure to gather compliments wherever you carry her. Take a quick look at the samples above and you will see that "Lizabeth" can be simple (sans exterior pockets) or you can add pockets on the front, back, and/or inside. The simple no-pocket version of "Lizabeth" goes together quickly and is perfect for a single fabric including the laminates that are now so popular. Attach the front "apron" and you've instantly created two roomy front pockets just right for stowing your cell phone and keys. For secure storage, add the easy-to-apply zipper pocket on "Lizabeth's" back. Inside, you'll find wall-to-wall customizable compartments to keep everything organized and in its place. Another neat feature of "Lizabeth's Bag" is the handle system. Traditionally, purses have been constructed using a two-handle arrangement with one strap on front and one on back. But, sometimes two handles present a problem - aka "the dreaded slipping strap." In order to avert this disaster, we have designed our girl so the two handles converge into one shoulder strap, therefore, no slipping. And, to top it all off, we have even made the shoulder strap adjustable. It just doesn't get better than our "Lizabeth!"

Assuming the correctness of QM: Would the size of such a computer be smaller than the observable universe? If it were to represent all available information in the universe it seems that it's minimal necessary size would relate to a black hole of a certain mass. Would this lead us to believe this theoretical quantum computer (assuming it didn't represent itself) could be constructed smaller than the universe? Or if the information content of an object is truly expressed in relation to a surface area is the universe the object with the minimal surface required to represent the totality of it's information?
If you are looking for the exact simulation of the whole universe, the answer is definitely no!
Because of this technical issue, that the computer itself is unfortunately a part of this universe, therefor it has to simulate itself as well alongside the rest of the universe! This means that the computer should produce results of its own calculations in the future (as well as the rest of the universe), which itself contains the whole simulation of the universe and the state of the computer, and again in the state of the computer the same thing is embedded again and again.
The other issue of a computer simulating itself is that it should produce its own results before they are even produced :)
In-fact larger grained simulations are possible(although not 100% accurate) and doable(even nowadays). Or if our universe had some fractal structure, then some smaller parts of it(like our computer) could represent its whole; which is unfortunately not the case.
Assuming the correctness of QM, you can encode $2^{n}$ complex amplitudes with the computational basis of n entangled qubits. This suggests that the answer to the question is yes, much smaller than the universe in fact.
Unfortunately quantum computing technology isn't there yet to maintain useful amount of entangled qubits, or getting that much information out of the qubit system for that matter.
This is one of those questions that makes studying quantum computation very interesting.

The 7 Most Horrifying Moments from Children's Video Games
We know that video games are not, by their nature, strictly for children. They can be extremely violent, very mature and occasionally horrifying to a degree that non-interactive media can never reach. But that's why we have a rating system for them: As a parent, you just pick up a box, check the rating and verify that at least one of the characters is some smart-aleck anthropomorphic bunny rabbit or something, and then you pop that sucker into the nearest Nintendo and go get drunk under a sprinkler for a while, secure in the knowledge that your kids are being entertained in relative psychological safety.
But then, hours later, the unnatural, keening screams coming from inside the house rouse you from your drunken stupor, and you realize that you accidentally ruined your children by exposing them to one of these horrifying moments from otherwise kid-friendly video games.
#7. Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
Via Plasticpals.com
Zack & Wiki is a cartoony point-and-click adventure game for the Wii about a boy pirate, his flying monkey friend and their gang of pirate bunnies looking for treasure. That synopsis is one kitten with a Scottish accent short of structurally unsound levels of adorableness. The Bunny Friends Posse journeys to your standard video game locales: jungle temples, ice castles, volcanic ruins. But one stop on their adventure is the Bell Tower of Requiem. Where they find this fountain in the shape of a sleeping girl:
So peaceful.
As the player, you journey to the top of the tower above her, eventually finding a bell with the same relief. You snuggle up to your bunny friends for some comfort, and maybe high-five a flying monkey for some spunky inspiration, then you pull the chain and ...
The Horror:
Oh God, my sphincter's loosening!
She starts shooting blood from her eyes, and then she screams like a goddamned banshee. For the entire game up to this point, you're lulled into thinking that this is some sort of Tiny Toon/Goonies crossover adventure, and then somebody splices five seconds of Hellraiser right smack dab into the middle of the big singing chipmunk number.
Once you've successfully made the statue cry blood, you just reach your little hands on in there and remove the moon from the pool, and you've completed the puzzle!
The strange dichotomy between how cartoonish and cute these characters are and how horrifying this moment is is best illustrated in this scene:
We so hope that's what Armageddon looks like.
The second you fetch that moon, the default victory screen pops up, where you watch your bunny friends repress all the imminent PTSD long enough to bounce around adorably and set off some sparkly celebratory fireworks ... right in front of the screaming ghost face, still bleeding from the eyes in the background.
"Don't make us play it again!"
#6. The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 was arguably one of the greatest games in history. Both kids and adults could enjoy the tale of a precocious young boy and his fairy friend adventuring through the iconic, cartoony world of Hyrule. There were a few horrifying moments in Ocarina of Time, like the first time you leave the Temple of Time to find that the whole town has turned into those ungodly screaming bastards that still haunt our dreams. But nothing is anywhere near as dark as the Bottom of the Well level.
The Horror:
So you've managed to stave off pulling your own teeth out long enough to swap your boots the thousand or so times it takes to complete the Water Temple. Now it's time to explore what's buried under Kakariko Village, a town full of cutesy chickens and wacky, memorable characters. Surely this will be a fun-time romp for all ...
Oh, hey, the ever-haunted nightmares of a serial killer. Quick, use your boomerang!
Nope. Fun is dead. That pasty grinning bastard up there ate its corpse.
Bottom of the Well ramps up the horror quickly, dropping you through several fake floors until you tumble into a poisonous river with withered hands sticking out like cattails and skeletons lying in the corners, their spirits still lingering around, waiting to talk to you. At the end of the level, that albino hunchback asshole up there reaches its pale, creepily elongated arms right into your childhood and starts feeling up your innocence. But the horror actually starts earlier: Have you ever stopped and taken a long, hard look at the rest of the dungeon? There's a room in the middle of the upper floor hidden within four trick walls that contains two prison cells and a big wooden X with a particularly large pool of blood at its feet.
"OK, don't freak out. Maybe it's not murder blood. Maybe it's just torture blood. Harmless torture blood."
That wooden X actually has a name: It's called a saltire, or St. Andrew's cross, named for the martyr who was crucified on one. Wait ... prison cells? A bloody torture device? A mass grave in the basement? This place isn't just a moldy old dungeon; it's an ancient torture chamber.
An ancient torture chamber located right underneath this adorable village:
Later, in the Shadow Temple, Navi tells you this:
So Hyrule is like Disneyland -- it's all adorably rotund Gorons and coquettishly giggling Zora, but the second you walk off the brightly lit path, the guy playing Mickey takes off his head and everything turns to blood and horror. Or, if nothing else, it's just a fucking disgusting place to be getting your town's water from, Kakarikans.
#5. Maniac Mansion
Via Mixmojo.com
In Maniac Mansion, the first of LucasArts' point-and-click adventure games, a bunch of kids sneak into the mansion of a mad scientist to rescue their friend. The original game was loosely horror-themed, but it was all fairly cartoony and lighthearted so as to be in compliance with Nintendo's censorship policies of the day. The people working on the NES conversion even went into the original game and removed the edgier content, like the poster of a mummy in a Playboy pose and a David-esque nude statue. And yet, they left in ...
The Horror:
... the sociopathic murder of small animals.
One of the residents of the mansion is the mad doctor's teenage commando son, Weird Ed. You can befriend him and, with the right character, get his help in overthrowing the evil meteorite controlling his father. Or, when he's not in his room, you can steal his hamster. It's not part of any puzzle, and there's only two things to do with it: Give it back and apologize for being a dick, or (if you're playing as Syd or Razor) go down to the kitchen and put it in the microwave.
You can't see it from that angle, but his dick is totally out.
Holy shit: We're pretty sure that's one of the questions on the Serial Killer Test. In fact, it might be the only question. Why does the game even let you do this?
It almost doesn't: Some characters will get creeped out if you try this and refuse to do it, which is probably how it sneaked by the censors. But two of them will totally go through with it. And they're not unaware of what will happen or aghast at the results, either -- they casually explode a hamster while the words "TOTALLY AWESOME!" flash at the top of the screen.
"That really was cool! You should try that in real life right now, children!"
So ... now you've burned a small animal to death from the inside out. What do you do with your new pile of nuked hamster giblets? Why, isn't that obvious? You give the corpse of his beloved pet right back to Weird Ed so that he knows his loved one suffered before it died. That's some Se7en-worthy psychological torment right there, and all of it was executed via tiny childfingers tapping away on a sweaty little sharp-edged D-pad.
Taste his tears. TASTE THEM!
#4. Sonic CD
Via Vgboxart.com
Sonic CD had a sound test mode, accessed by pressing "Down," "Down," "Down," "Left," "Right," "A" on the title screen. This was pretty standard fare for games back in the day, and the sound test usually contained a few little secrets for the diligent explorer. Sonic CD was no exception: It had Easter eggs ranging from artwork of Robotnik wearing a Jamaican hat to an entire secret level, and oh yeah ...
The Horror:
Wait, Sonic is a Juggalo? It would explain how he achieves his meth-like speed.
A Dali-esque piece of horror pop art starring the disfigured face of everybody's favorite spunky hedgehog. Putting in these numbers ...
... will yield this nightmare:
The broken music with the deep laughter was actually the game's main boss theme, which wasn't so bad in its original context -- the roly-poly Robotnik attacking you with some ridiculous weapon -- but when it was accompanied by a still image of a small army of eyeless clown Sonics, forever staring into your soul and laughing at what they found there, it permanently stole the ability to feel warmth away from any unlucky child whose only sins were being curious about game soundtracks and accidentally staring too long into the empty holes where their favorite hedgehog's eyes used to be.
"Psst ... hey, man, come over here. Wanna see me shoot heroin directly into my testicles?"

This 23+ minute interview can still be seen at:
Jennifer Homans was on PBS' Charlie Rose Show last night, interviewed in the first half-hour. Sorry that I caught this late and could not alert anyone. Hopefully others saw it, too.
This is not how I remember what Homans said. If my memory is correct, she was describing the Russian style (as opposed to the French style) when she used those words. I didn't hear it as using the word "vulgar" to describe Plisetskaya individually. In fact, Holmans even hesitated trying to find a word that would convey the more heavy-handed, "weighty" style the Russians added to the French ballet style they inherited. In that slightly awkward moment while Holmans hesitated I spoke out loud to the TV set: "imperial". I thought her word delivered the concept far better than mine would have. At any rate, the word she used spoke to me (and I felt the word quite appropriate at the time precisely because of its "shock" value).
Homans came across very well, in general, although it may not have been fair to describe Maya Plisetskaya as "vulgar"...at the end of a string of more appropriate words, such as "Soviet brashness."

The Cairo-based United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Regional Office for Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia (ROMENACA) reported in its Second Quarterly Regional Humanitarian Funding Update (April-June 2010) that the countries of Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia (MENACA) have donated $140 million to humanitarian operations worldwide in 2010. The largest recipients of the aid are Haiti, Yemen and Pakistan. ROMENACA cited Saudi Arabia as the leading donor, followed by the United Arab Emirates and Algeria.
Compared to the first quarter of 2010, there is an overall increase of $60 million in the combined contribution from MENACA countries. A significant portion of this increase is due to a donation of $44.4 million from the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD) towards projects in the Pakistan Humanitarian Response Plan (PHRP). Saudi Arabia is currently the second biggest contributor (17 percent of total funding) to the PHRP 2010 after the United States (32 percent).

Hometown Television continues to uncover new information in the suspicious dorm fire which left one WKU student severely wounded.
NewsCenter13 has confirmed that 18-year-old Katie Autry, who was severely injured in the blaze, was an employee at one of Bowling Green's adult entertainment establishments.
The freshman from Hancock County was employed for a two-week period at TattleTails located at 1316 Old Louisville Road. The club's manager says Autry danced a total of four times, the last time being April 26, just six days before a freak fire broke out in her room on the second floor of Hugh Poland Hall. The manager of TattleTails maintains as of Tuesday afternoon, investigators had not yet contacted the club. Western Kentucky University officials declined to comment on the matter, but said police are still conducting interviews in the case.
Katie Autry is currently listed in critical condition in Vanderbilt's burn unit in Nashville, Tennessee. In addition, Autry also suffers from what police are calling superficial puncture wounds. In a phone interview, Autry's father said his daughter had undergone surgery Tuesday and appeared to have come through it well.
WKU Police are scheduled to hold a news conference Wednesday morning to discuss the latest information in the case.

Are there some push-up variations I can do to work the biceps or shoulder muscles? Illustrations or pictures would be appreciated as well.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Livestrong.com has a great article about variations in push ups:
To work your shoulders you can increase the elevation of your feet. If you can, you could do handstand pushups against a wall.
Push-ups do not really target biceps. You probably want pullups for that.
These probably aren't really push-ups in the traditional sense. They're more like a hybrid between a push-up and a pull-up. They have the benefits of a push-up as in they target your core, chest, and shoulders. With the added benefit of a pull-up because they also target your upper back, lats, and biceps.
Source: ultimateclimbing.com
Note: Using a swiss ball to increase resistance (difficulty) is completely optional (and pretty hard core), it's only included here for lack of a better picture that demonstrated the full movement.
Source: bodyrock.tv
An easier variation is to do them with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground.
There are many more variations, but these should keep you busy for a while!
There sure are, check out this article - 7 Muscle Targetting Push Up Variations
I am a big fan of fingertip pushups:
They seem to build the biceps more than standard pushups, and they build hand, finger, and forearm strength as well.
I'm a big fan of Exrx site, you can browse this site based on which muscles and which body weight form to work.
I'll summarize some exercises to work the shoulder muscles here based on both of my favourite sites:

OK, so you're pregnant. Where do you go from here? Sit down take a deep breath and "veg" for a bit. Squelch the urge to panic. Give into the excitement and joy. Scream if you need to. But above all, give yourself a chance to assimilate the news. You have plenty of time for planning the baby won't be born for nine months or 40 weeks, give or take a few days or weeks. Right now you, the mother, are the one who needs to be taken care of. If you feel like starting a list, here are some of the things you might put on it.
Don't Go Hog Wild Just Yet
Resist the urge to go on a spending spree, buying baby clothes, maternity clothes, diapers, cribs, and assorted baby paraphernalia. For one thing, people need something to give you for baby showers, so it's OK to look and make your lists at some retail stores, but it's too early to buy. For another, trust me on this one you really don't want all that stuff sitting around staring you in the face for 10 months. It will make the time go even more slowly. You have almost a year to wait before the baby is born. Take it easy and don't rush something that can't be rushed darn it, anyway!

Woodstock graffiti – Flickr pic of the day
This intriguing image shows a boy running past a wall of graffiti in Woodstock, a suburb of Cape Town. It was submitted to our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member Stiaan Schoeman aka quantumtheory.
"It was taken in Woodstock. I drive past this graffiti often, but I never have my camera with me. On this particular day I did and decided to stop and take a picture. As I got out this young boy came walking along. He saw that I had a camera and stopped out of the frame, so I could take the picture. I told him it's okay and that he can walk past, so he started running and I started shooting," explains Stiaan.
"The camera was on the wrong ISO, so the image came out very grainy, but in a way I think it sort of adds to the image. I like the illusion created by the clouds. When I show this image to people, it normally takes them a second to figure out exactly what's going on," he continues.
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

Some of you may remember this long dormant clique, others may not, but now is the perfect opportunity to become a part of its new life.
About Us
DADD was created several years ago to battle the dirty dolls on the site. As we fought against the tide of inappropriate content, our mission expanded to stop all inappropriate content on the site and to encourage members to create dolls that are tasteful, not skanky. Its come to our attention that after many years of peaceful success that dirty content on the site is worse than ever, causing us to resort to reviving this clique.
How Can I Help?
People ask a lot how they can help us and the answer is simple. Report. We have a "Report Offense" option on the front page that many members think doesn't work, but it really does. Whenever you find dirty content on the site, don't just report it, post it here too so our members can vote it low and report it as well. The more reports an doll, contest, story, or profile gets, the more likely it is that it will be removed. Also, we can then send that content to support too so she can remove it even further.
So folks, on to my point, we need help reviving the clique. Please, go join it, make banners, and help search out the inappropriate content on the site. Feel free to post here or on the clique, we'd love the extra boost right now since we can't do it by ourselves. We do encourage all members to join. This is your site too, take it back from those members who choose to abuse the system!
I have one question, though. If TDP is supposed to be like DADD, then why are there sexy and sexual pictures for people to look at on here. Some examples of what I am talking about is like at the top, where people can go and select on the Blonde Dolls, Brunettes, etc.
And these are just some of them. If you go through, you can see all the different ones. I don't mean to sound critical, but I'm just trying to see if we even have a chance at fighting this. My main point here is that if the actual website is posting inappropriate dolls, then how can they go and remove other dolls from the site without looking like total hypocrites?
The dolls you posted are not dirty dolls. True, they are sexy, but they're not the dolls we're talking about. Those are the ones that are made by the immature that depict sex acts; some are even edited to make them look more realistic; plus nudes which are not allowed in most contests and fashion shows anyway.
The same goes for stories that are of a sexual nature; this goes against the ToU and therefore should not be tolerated. Join the clique and read the information threads in Talks.
Singer, the clique is against nude and sexual dolls. Those ones are just sexy. The ones that the clique is against are ones that are nude, depict sex in some fashion or are just outright vulgar.
I've seen this clique before and am interested but I don't know if I'd qualify.
True none of my dolls have ever showed ni.pp.les or the like but I make se.xy contests and enter se.xy dolls. I just don't want to join if I'm one of the culprits, you know?
So would dolls that are nude but covered by their hair moving in the wind or dolls in lingerie or dolls that say se.xual things be what they're against? (like "come to bed dear" or "professional entertainer"). I'm against the more vulgar dolls. Ones that show the actual acts. Or are just plain out nude. I still have these dolls I'm talking about so if you need to see them first to be sure...?
Everyone has their own definition of what is a dirty doll. We have had members who are against everything not completely covered while others are still in support of sexy dolls and artistic nudes(I am a person who supports tasteful nudity and sexyness).
This clique was formed at a time where the popular choice in the contests was only nude dolls, dolls having sex(body parts included), and sometimes even straight up po.rn. These things have always been our focus because no one can ever agree on what is too sexy. Even if you make sexier contests and participate in them(which is your right as an adult and technically just PG-13, the age requirement for registration, there are worse things out there), you can join and help to protect the younger members from being exposed to content which is definitately NC-17.
i remager n a contest that is finished now that was full of the exact oppiste of dadd!it was called sexii

I agree that browsing the internet on a DC or any other server is something you just don't do. And implementing a high security default in IE is certainly a good way to lower the risk of it, but why not go all the way and disable internet access via IE (or any other browser) on server systems completely? No "good admin" would use it anyway and it certainly would make life easier for those companies whose admins do.

I can't agree more with above. I would suggest that the more that is locked down the better!!
The admin(s) is responsible - it's not always MS fault... if it's locked down to begin with there is much less room for mistakes, i.e. not locking down a port you didn't know was open or even aware off!

Your scalp often plays second fiddle to your hair. Until it starts begging for attention, that is. With several common conditions, your scalp may itch and get irritated.
Little white flakes signal an old-fashioned case of dandruff. It can be annoying when the flakes fall on a dark shirt. Dandruff is simply a buildup of shedding dead skin. We don't know the cause, but it may be due to a fungus on the skin.
You can't catch dandruff from someone else, and it isn't dangerous, but it can be itchy and a bother. Luckily, there's no redness or scabbing of the scalp.
There's no cure, but it's fairly easy to control by washing your hair more often with a medicated shampoo. Pick one with one or more of these ingredients:
- Coal tar (Neutrogena T/Gel, Tegrin)
- Zinc pyrithione (Suave Dandruff Control, Pert Plus Dandruff Control, Head & Shoulders)
- Salicylic acid (T-Sal, Sebulex)
- Selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue)
- Ketoconazole (Nizoral A-D) available as a 1% over-the-counter shampoo or a 2% prescription-strength one
You may need to try two or three products to clear up your dandruff. If it doesn't go away after a few weeks of using a special shampoo, see a doctor. You may need a prescription-strength shampoo.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
Dandruff is a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis. In more severe cases, you'll see a reddening of the scalp and a lot of oil. The result is a greasy look and feel. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it's common in those with oily skin or hair, acne, or psoriasis.
Cradle Cap
This form of seborrheic dermatitis affects infants, typically in the first 6 months. It causes greasy, yellowish scales or crusts on the scalp. Although it may frighten parents, cradle cap is not a sign of a more serious infection, and it will usually clear up by the baby's first birthday.
For treatment, try rubbing your baby's scalp softly with baby or mineral oil to loosen the scales. After a few minutes, wash your baby's hair with a gentle baby shampoo. Then brush the scalp very gently with a soft brush to loosen the flakes. If a regular shampoo isn't working, ask your pediatrician about a medicated one.
