Technip will develop the process design package of the hydrogen production unit of the plant, based on its steam reformer proprietary technology, and will prepare the FEED for the hydrogen production, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and refining units. Work is scheduled to be completed in early 2014.
Forest BtL awarded Technip with a 5 million
contract for front-end engineering and design (FEED) on a new
second-generation biomass-to-liquid (BTL) plant to be built on
Ajos island, Finland, the companies announced on
This plant will produce approximately 140,000 tons of biodiesel
and naphtha from wood and by-products from the wood-processing
This feedstock has many advantages,
according to project officials. They noted that
since the feedstock is not used for human
food, it does not jeopardize the existing local biomass usage
and has a low CO2 footprint.
Technip will develop the process design package of the
hydrogen production unit of the plant, based on its steam
reformer proprietary technology, and will prepare the
FEED for the hydrogen production, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and
refining units.
Technips operating center in Lyon, France,
together with the groups hydrogen technology center in
Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, will execute the contract, which
is scheduled to be completed in early 2014.
The Ajos BtL project is supported by the European Union NER300
funding program for innovative renewable energy
Technip says the project will be an industrial first and
will reinforce its leading position on new-generation biofuels projects.

Motivation--- I have a glimmer of an idea that a convergent sum could be considered a self-referential number similar to a fractal. I would like to play with it for a while.
I have the following convergent sum:
NSum[((1/Pochhammer[m^2 + 1, m]) + (1/Pochhammer[m^2 + m + 1, 2 m])),
{m, 1, Infinity}, WorkingPrecision -> 50]
Is there a way to show the internals of about 4 or 5 steps?

Suppose we have a convex function , $\phi(x): R^d \to R$. It is well known that the Legendre transform of $\phi$ is also a convex function, and can (loosely) be thought of as the dual or derivative space.
Given a hyperplane in the original space of the form $Ax =B$ where $A$ is a $k$ by $d$ matrix in the original space and another hyperplane $C y = D$ in the dual space (where C is a $d-k$ by $d$ matrix), how can I go about computing the unique point determined by the intersection of the two planes? I believe that it is impossible to compute analytically,for example, for the function $\phi(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{d} x_i \log x_i$. However, I'm thinking on finding a good numerical algorithm.
There are generic numerical optimization methods - start with a point on one plane, move in the direction of the gradient towards the other - but I've found poor performance trying to do this with the MATLAB toolbox and it also doesn't seem too geometrically insightful. I'm thinking on whether there exists a solution that could somehow exploit the dual nature of the two spaces.
Additional comments: Broader comments on the geometry of the situation, or suggestions on how to approach this are also very helpful. Understanding the geometric structure is as important to me as a solution :). Also, if it might ease analysis, consider that the $d$ rows of $A$ and $C$ taken together form an orthogonal basis of $R^d$.
Edit: Added some more explanation in the second comment below.

WARSAW - Fans of dominant pitching received quite a treat in the district title game.
In a battle of standout juniors, Indian Creek's Paige Geanangel outdueled Minerva's Rachel Eberling to lead the Redskins past the Lions, 1-0, in an Ohio Division II Eastern District Co-Final Thursday evening at Bill Rice Field at River View.
"It means how much hard work the girls have put into the program has paid off," Indian Creek head coach Angela Penner said. "The girls work hard day in and day out. Some of them work on their game outside of high school. They play travel ball. I am really proud of them."

HEAD CHIEFS — Members of the Indian Creek softball team pose for a photo after defeating Minerva 1-0 in an Ohio Division II?Eastern District Co-Final on Thursday.
-- Contributed
With the win, Indian Creek (17-2) has advanced to the Region 7 Semifinals at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Pickerington Central High School against the winner of Saturday's game between No. 1 seed Licking Valley and No. 7 seed Columbus Bishop Hartley. First pitch in that contest is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Pickerington Central.
The two pitchers were directly responsible for 29 of the 42 outs in the game, and the dynamic duo only allowed a total of three base runners all game long.
Only two balls were hit into the outfield in the air. Both of those balls came off of the bat of Geanangel.
Fact Box
Indian Creek 1, Minerva 0
Indian Creek 000 100 0 - 1 2 0
Minerva 000 000 0 - 0 1 0
INDIAN CREEK (17-2): Geanangel (WP, 12K, 0BB) and Orr; Orr S; Geanangel D, RBI.
MINERVA (17-7): Eblerling (LP, 13K, 0BB) and Jones; Miller S.
Geanangel and Eberling combined to strike out 25 batters in the game. Geanangel also collected two assists and she caught a pop up, while Eberling tallied one assist.
"Paige is a competitor," Penner said. "She worked her tail off."
Geanangel not only picked up the win for the Redskins, but she also delivered the game-winning hit with a one-out double in the top of the fourth inning.
"Give Paige credit," Penner said. "Paige not only had 12 strikeouts, but she also had the hit that put us ahead. You can't ask for anything more from a pitcher. She had the big hit and 12 strikeouts in the same game."
Eberling nearly matched Geanangel pitch for pitch.
"She was a good pitcher," Penner said. "Give her credit.
"We struggled at the plate tonight. That is something we are going to need to work on down the road, because we are going to face pitchers like her. We are going to have to be able to adjust."
Geanangel pitched a perfect game through six innings before giving up a lead-off hit to Shania Miller, but Miller ended up being stranded at third base at the end of the game.
Eberling struck out seven of the first nine Indian Creek batters she faced in the game, including the first four.
The ball bounced the Redskins way in the fourth.
Catcher Abby Orr led off the inning with a bloop base hit. The ball bounced on the dirt between the Lions shortstop and third baseman enabling Orr to reach base. The senior backstop moved to second on a pitch in the dirt.
With one out, Geanangel belted a double over the ahead of the centerfielder allowing Orr to race around the base and score to give the girls from Jefferson County a 1-0 advantage.
"Abby had been struggling a little bit, but she came through for us with that first hit," Penner said.
The Lions only chance to score came in the bottom of the seventh.
After retiring the first 18 batters of the game, Geanangel gave up a single to Shania Miller to start the inning. Miller singled up the middle to become the Lions first base runner of the game.
Miller moved up to second on a passed ball, and she advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt.
With two outs, Eberling stepped to the plate, and it was fitting that the game came down to a battle between the two pitchers. In the end, Geanangel came out on top.
Geanangel got Eberling to hit a ground ball to third base, and Indian Creek third baseman Alexis Monroe fielded the ball cleanly and threw the ball across the infield to Hannah Webb at first to record the final out, and the celebrating began.
"I am so proud of the girls," Penner said. "I am proud of our coaches too. The coaches work hard just like everybody else.
"The girls do everything we ask them to do. They work really hard. I am really proud of them.
"We are here because we earned it."
Indian Creek lost in the district co-final in each of the past two seasons to Dover. The Tornadoes defeated the Redskins, 2-1, in nine innings last year, and the girls from Tuscarawas County were victorious by a score of 6-1 in 2012.
"We lost here the last two years to Dover," Penner said. "Last year, we lost to Dover 2-1. I am glad we came out on top this year.
"We also played errorless ball behind Paige."
Indian Creek advanced to the district tournament by defeating Edison, 3-1, in the semifinals last Friday out at Jefferson Lake State Park before defeating Big Red, 8-7, in the sectional final Monday. The Redskins scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh to rally their way past Big Red.
"We love to play good games," Penner said. "Big Red is an excellent team. Minerva is a great team. Give credit to them. Big Red was the OVAC 4-A champions. They had a good season."
After coming up short the last two seasons, the Redskins were on a mission to get past the districts this season.
"It was one of our team goals at the beginning of the season," Penner said. "We wanted to get back to the districts. We wanted to get the three-peat and win the districts this year.
"We had four goals this season. We wanted to be OVAC champions. We wanted to win a sectional title. We wanted to three-peat. We wanted to get back to the district final and win it."
The fourth goal was to give Penner her 100th victory. The girls did that when they defeated Big Red in the sectional final. The victory over the Lions is win No. 101. Penner now has a record of 101-36.
The Lions advanced to the district tournament by winning a sectional title at Carrollton. Minerva defeated East Liverpool, 6-0, in the semifinals before defeating Dover, 4-3, in the sectional final.

4.1.1 RC 2: Theme / Layout broken
I've just taken a quick test with 4.1.1 RC2. Performance seems a better ... But our layout is broken! It seems the heights of each "row" within a form has changed. So basically every form we're using is broken that way. The elements do no fit into the fieldsets anymore. With 4.0.7 it works!
Info: We're using the absolute form layout with the gray theme which is compiled as scoped version.

I had an issue with fieldset padding when I switched from 4.0.7 to 4.1. I'm not sure if this is the same issue you are having, but I had to add the following css override to fix the padding.

[natural gas]
For nine consecutive years (20032011), the Argentinean
gross domestic product (GDP) continued to increase at an
impressive annual rate of 7% to 8%. However, this trend was
expected to change in 2012 with the domestic GDP only
increasing at 3% to 4%. The world economic crisis will affect
the Argentinean economy, but it will not be the sole reason for
the sharp decrease. A severe drought is affecting the harvest
of main export products (soybean and corn), and a reduction in
the commodities international prices is expected to reduce the
balance of payments. The government is limiting imports to
improve the balance, but these measures are raising fears among
local producers.
The local industry is strongly dependent on imported
supplies, and the new regime of nonautomatic imports may
jeopardize some strategic sectors such as the automotive and
electronic industries. The petrochemical sector may also be
affected, since many intermediate chemicals are not produced
locally and are required for the manufacture of final
Table 1 shows domestic petrochemical production over the
last 20 years. A peak of about 7 million tons was reached in
2006. Since then, annual production has declined by 1 million
tons each year. The main reason for this trend has been the
lower availability of oil and, especially, natural gas, which
is the main raw material for Argentinas petrochemical
Fig. 1 shows the location of
Argentinas main petrochemical sites. Bahía Blanca
(south of Buenos Aires) is the largest complex for basic petrochemicals (ethylene and
ammonia) and polymers (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PVC and urea)
products. The largest refinery is located at Ensenada (La
Plata); this site has the largest benzene, toluene and xylene
(BTX) capacity. A third important location is San Lorenzo
(Santa Fe province, north of Buenos Aires); this complex has
aromatics capacity, as well as styrene monomer (SM) and
styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) capacity. Polypropylene (PP) is
produced by two sites (Ensenada, Luján de Cuyo) close to
the two largest refineries, which are fluid catalytic cracking
units supplying propylene.
Fig. 1. Location of
Argentinas major
petrochemical and refining complexes.
The increasing trade balance deficit over the last few years
is the result of two combined factors. From the demand side,
there is the already-mentioned increase in GDP and,
consequently, of petrochemicals consumption. The
other factor results from lower utilization rates of local
capacity due to raw materials restrictions and, thus, less
local product is available, as shown in Table
In 2010, imports increased to their highest level ever in
volume, surpassing $3 billion and creating a $1.9 billion
trade imbalance for Argentina. Tables 3 and
4, respectively, list the top 10
2010 exports and imports. Several products, mainly
thermoplastics (PE, PVC, PP and PET), appear in both tables.
This reflects the fact that, thanks to Mercosur, there is
fluent commerce between Argentina and Brazil, with no import
tariffs. Table 4 also shows that the other
main imports are fertilizers not produced locally (MAP and DAP)
and urea, since their producing units are not operating at full
capacity due to raw material shortages. The first 10 products
represent around 60% to 70% of the total volumes and sales for
both imports and exports.
Natural gas reserves continue to decrease. In 2002, natural
gas reserves represented 17 years of productionnow, this
figure is reduced to 7.5 years. Oil availability is more stable
and has not changed significantly over the last 10 years, with
present reserves representing 10 years of production.
However, since most of the Argentinean petrochemical
industry is based on natural gas, no new plants or significant
expansion of existing units is
immediately foreseen. All indicators show that the
petrochemical trade deficit may increase. The main risk may be
new government-imposed import restrictions. This could strongly
affect the petrochemical industry, as well as
other strategic sectors of the economy. But there is one hope
in the middle term, as Argentina looks to become a country with
very large shale gas reserves. Shale gas exploitation will
require significant investment. For such resource development,
it is imperative that clear signs are given by local
authorities to attract domestic and foreign capital.

Matcha Rice PilafWith its vivid reds and greens, our Matcha Rice Pilaf can fit on any holiday table easily. It is also simple and hearty enough to compliment or even star by itself for a quick weeknight dinner.
[Serves 4]
Aiya Cooking Grade Matcha.................. 1 tbsp
Rice (uncooked)........................................ 2 cups
Red Bell Pepper........................................ 1
Green Bell Pepper..................................... 2
Ham........................................................... 4 slices
Onion........................................................ 1/2 onion
Corn Starch............................................... 4 tbsp
Butter......................................................... 2 tbsp
Soup Stock................................................ 2 cups
Salt............................................................. to taste
Pepper....................................................... to taste
Sliced Cheese........................................... 4 slices
Sliced Almonds.......................................... as desired
Cheese Powder......................................... as desired
Tip: Feel free to substitute in any vegetables you prefer in place of the bell peppers!
Note: While the recipe calls for corn starch, you can also use cornmeal depending on taste.
- Rinse the rice well and set aside in a colander 30 minutes before you begin.
- Cut part of each bell pepper into strips for ganish. Chop the remaining parts as well as the onions and ham into 1/4" pieces.
- Sautee the onions and butter together in a frying pan and add the rice. Cook until the onions become translucent and the rice has toasted (approximately 5 minutes).
- Add the cubed ham and peppers to the pan along with the corn starch and sautee together.
- Transfer to a pot over med-low heat and add in the soup stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook on low heat for approximately 20 minutes until the rice is just done and has absorbed all the water. Stir frequently to avoid burning or sticking. (If you have a rice cooker, you can bypass adding everything to a pot and instead cook in the rice cooker.)
- Slice some of the cheese for garnish and cut the rest into 1/16" cubes.
- When the rice is finished, transfer it to a bowl, sift the Matcha into it, and mix togehter along with the sliced almonds and cubed cheese.
- Using a flan mold or any small bowl, mold the rice and transfer to a plate, preserving the dome shame.
- Garnish with the slices of bell pepper and cheese and then dust with the cheese powder.

5 Brilliant Clues Hidden in the Background of Movies
Movie spoilers are one of the many things that the Internet deals in like currency -- once a film has been released, it's tough to avoid having the ending ruined for you unless you power down every electronic device in your home and live like a frontier fur trapper. However, sometimes the movie gives away its own ending (or at least crucial upcoming plot points) by dropping vague little hints early on. You just have to keep your eyes open ...
#5. Jurassic Park: A Seat Belt Malfunction Reveals That the Dinosaurs Can Reproduce
Amblin Entertainment/Universal Pictures
Jurassic Park is a movie about dinosaurs killing people, but several things had to go wrong in order for this to happen. Sure, the security system getting shut down by Newman from Seinfeld was a big one, but before that came the news that the dinosaurs were breeding out of control, despite the fact that it should have been impossible.
Amblin Entertainment/Universal Pictures
After all, sending kids to a single-sex school always stops them from fucking, right?
This is one of the big twists of the film, when paleontologist Dr. Sam Neill discovers that the dinosaurs are breeding despite the fact that they were genetically engineered to all be female (specifically to prevent this). It is a development that, indeed, no one saw coming, for how in the name of science could a bunch of prehistoric lizards equipped with nothing but girl parts be expected to make babies?
However, if you were paying close attention, it's a twist the movie gives away in the first 20 minutes.
The Foreshadowing:
It's played as just a throwaway joke -- as the helicopter carrying all the '90s-fashionable scientists swoops down toward Isla Nublar, Neill is told to buckle his seat belt. But then this happens:
Amblin Entertainment/Universal Pictures
Alan Grant, Ph.D., makes three separate attempts to buckle these together.
That's right -- Neill is stuck with two buckles, rather than the tongue and buckle combination required to secure him safely to the helicopter bench. The clasp, incidentally, is also referred to as the "female" end, so Sam is technically stuck with nothing but female parts. He continues fumbling around with the mismatched seat belt while Jeff Goldblum stares him down like a guy who knows a thing or two about female parts:
Amblin Entertainment/Universal Pictures
"Life finds a way ... to my dick."
Finally, having exhausted every possible option, Neill resorts to simply tying the two ends of the belt together to form a makeshift seat belt.
Amblin Entertainment/Universal Pictures
Grant, you old sailor, you.
There you go -- he needed to create something new (a seat belt), but all he had were female ends. So, he improvised. This is exactly what ends up happening with the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. They were left with only one half of the necessary gender pairing to breed, but somehow they are able to create baby dinosaurs. They made it work.
Of course, the specific way that the dinosaurs were able to leap this biological hurdle is never adequately explained (beyond some tossed out rationalization about the geneticists using frog DNA), so we've no choice but to imagine two female dinosaurs tying their vaginas together.
#4. Fight Club: A Brief Close-Up on a Telephone Gives Away the Ending
Regency Entertainment/20th Century Fox
Fight Club is, of course, full of hints about the big twist (that Edward Norton and Brad Pitt were the split personalities of one guy who just beats the shit out of himself for no reason), and most of them are obvious after the fact. Like when Norton beats the hell out of himself in his boss' office and says that it reminds him of his first fight with Tyler Durden (Pitt) -- it seems like an offhand comment on your first viewing, but is obvious in retrospect.
Regency Entertainment/20th Century Fox
We can only imagine what masturbating reminded him of.
However, there's one bit of Brad-Pitt-is-really-a-mind-ghost foreshadowing that we're pretty sure even the most devout Fight Club viewers mining the DVD for senior yearbook quotes didn't pick up on, and that is the freaking pay phone.
The Foreshadowing:
Right after Norton's apartment explodes, he calls Tyler on a pay phone to ask if he can crash on the couch at Tyler's rancid hobo tomb. Tyler doesn't answer, so Norton hangs up. Immediately the phone starts ringing -- Tyler is on the other end, having hit *69 to redial the last number that had called him, because for some reason a man in designer clothing living in a giant decaying shack feels the need to screen his calls.
As soon as the phone starts ringing, however, we are treated to a revealing close-up:
Regency Entertainment/20th Century Fox
"Schizophrenic hallucinations and local calls only."
It's tough to see, but read that line directly underneath the word "TELNEX" -- it says "No Incoming Calls Allowed." Meaning it is not physically possible for this telephone to receive incoming calls. Meaning Tyler cannot possibly have called Edward Norton back. Meaning Edward Norton is standing in a phone booth with the receiver pressed to his ear, having a detailed conversation with nobody. And of course we find out later that's exactly what he was doing.
Granted, none of this explains why a man beating the shit out of himself in a parking lot would attract a group of disenfranchised males asking if they can join him, but that would be the subject of another article.
#3. Reservoir Dogs: Mr. Orange's Secret Is Given Away Constantly
LIVE America/Miramax Films
Quentin Tarantino's first film is about some professional crooks with color-based pseudonyms (Mr. White, Mr. Blue, Mr. Pink, etc.) who team up to pull off a diamond heist, only to discover that one of them is secretly an informant for the police. None of the crooks had ever met before, and no one can make assumptions based on anyone's reputation because of the pseudonyms. So a complex game of cat-and-mouse begins as the criminals try to discover the traitor in their midst, only to have the movie abruptly reveal that it's Mr. Orange about halfway through in a hail of Michael Madsen-slaying gunfire.
LIVE America/Miramax Films
What kind of trustworthy person parts his hair down the middle anyway?
However, if you're paying really close attention, you can figure out Mr. Orange's duplicity way beforehand.
The Foreshadowing:
There are a few well-known visual hints that pop up before the big reveal that Mr. Orange is the rat, like when Nice Guy Eddie is talking on the phone about how the heist turned into a cop ambush and an orange balloon floats along behind his car:
LIVE America/Miramax Films
Or when Mr. Pink and Mr. White are arguing about who the rat could be in a room full of orange, pink, and white bottles:
LIVE America/Miramax Films
The pink bottles are all tip jars.
However, the single greatest (and most consistently overlooked) hint comes in the very first scene of the movie, during one of Tarantino's patented 10-minute conversations that sound cool but do not seem to advance the plot in any way. After breakfast, everyone throws in a dollar to tip the waitress except for Mr. Pink, who refuses because he thinks tipping is stupid. When the boss, Joe, comes back from the bathroom and demands to know who didn't throw in for the tip, Mr. Orange immediately tattles on Mr. Pink before anyone else even has a chance to speak:
Joe: Wait a minute ... who didn't throw in?
Orange: Mr. Pink
Joe: Mr. Pink? Why not?
Orange: He don't tip.
Joe: He don't tip? What do you mean you don't tip?
Orange: He don't believe in it.
Joe: Shut up.
Mr. Pink has no problem admitting it, and he goes on to defend his position to Joe, but the implication is clear -- Mr. Orange simply could not wait to drop the dime on his fellow teammate.
LIVE America/Miramax Films
"I don't care about upholding the law, I just really like squealing."
In fact, that opening scene (including the subsequent debate about tipping) winds up defining everyone's personality (Mr. White is a soft-hearted pushover, Mr. Pink is a cold professional). Mr. Brown's tangential lecture about how "Like a Virgin" is about a guy with a huge dick, however, remains impossible to connect to the rest of the film in any meaningful way.
LIVE America/Miramax Films
Everybody else left hours ago. He's still just sitting there, talking.

In a calculation of the hitting time for a Bernoulli random walk we have to calculate the hitting time $\tau(1)=\inf\{n\ge 0:S_n=1\}$ to reach $+1$ and the generating function has the recursion relationship $E[s^\tau]=G_\tau(s)=ps+qsE(s^{\tau'+\tau''})$ where $\tau'$ and $\tau''$ have the same distribution as $\tau$. The generating function is then one of the two solutions to $G(s)=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1-4pqs^2}}{2qs}$, and it is easily seen to be the negative $\frac{1-\sqrt{1-4pqs^2}}{2qs}$.
My question is: What is the other solution $\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{1-4pqs^2}}{2qs}\right)$ a solution to? Does it have any meaningful interpretation?

April 23, 2013
A horse stable and carriage house, transformed over two centuries into a shabby laundry shop which then was turned into an artists' studio where several of the New York's most important early modernist sculptors lived and worked: This is the story of the historic building of Deutsches Haus at New York University, one of the university's several international houses located at the corner of the cobblestoned Washington Mews.
NYU Deutsches Haus (42 Washington Mews), today a center for learning and cultural exchange between New York and the German-speaking world, will celebrate its 35 year old history with an exhibition on "The Story of a Haus," thereby looking at how its own building, as part of the historic land-marked area north of Washington Square Park, has transformed over time.
"The Story of a House" will open on Tuesday, April 30, 6:30 p.m. at Deutsches Haus and will be open to the public from Mondays through Fridays, 10 am to 6 pm from Tuesday, April 30 through Friday, June 28. (Enter the Washington Mews from University Place, just north of Washington Square Park.)
Over the past 180 years, 42 Washington Mews, the present home of Deutsches Haus at NYU, has experienced a history that reflects the evolution of Greenwich Village. Through original artworks, photographs, and historic documents, the exhibition The Story of a Haus tells the story of the continuous transformation of the building: from a horse stable, to the sculpture studio of early modernist artists Paul Manship, Gaston Lachaise, and Robert Ingersoll Aitken, leading up to the present-day Deutsches Haus, New York's leading institution for culture and language of the German-speaking world.
Deutsches Haus is celebrating its 35-year history in this quaint landmark building, which has seen such fascinating figures as Charlie Chaplin, Jack Dempsey, John Singer Sargent, Lincoln Kirstein, Christiana Morgan, Helmut Schmidt, Susan Sontag, Günter Grass, Herta Müller, Daniel Kehlmann, and Slavoj Žižek walk in and out of its doors.
"The Story of a Haus" is presented with the generous support of the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany New York.
Events at Deutsches Haus are free of charge. Registration is required at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information, please call 212 998 8663.

CNN- The men hoping to lead Greece out of the crisis that is threatening Europe's common currency promised their country a bright future on Sunday -- but they have different visions of what that means.
Radical leftist Alexis Tsipras, who hopes to emerge as prime minister, suggested Europe could not push Greece around any more.
"Today we open the path towards a better tomorrow, with our people united, dignified and proud. To a Greece where there's social justice and progress -- an equal member of a Europe that's changing," the leader of the Syriza party said.
His main rival, New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras, said simply: "Today the people of Greece speak. Tomorrow a new era begins for Greece."
They were speaking as Greeks voted in parliamentary elections that will determine who leads a country paralyzed for months by a political and economic crisis.
The party that wins the most seats gets the first chance to form a government.
Syriza was neck-and-neck with New Democracy in the last official polls two weeks ago. No new polls are allowed 14 days before the vote.
The election could decide the fate of the euro, a currency used by 325 million people across 17 countries in Europe.
Yannos Papantoniou, who was the Greek finance minister at the time the country adopted the euro, said the vote was a referendum on being in the common currency.
Support for Syriza --which has soared on the back of Greek anger at government budget cuts imposed by international lenders -- would set up a confrontation with Europe which could lead to a bank run, he said.
Tsipras has vowed to tear up the conditions attached to massive international loans that are keeping Greece from defaulting on its debts.
The possibility that he could emerge as prime minister has prompted waves of fear that Greece could crash out of the euro and Europe's ambitious experiment with a common currency could collapse.
Some analysts have estimated that the collapse of the euro would cost $1 trillion, while others say talk of the break-up of the currency is alarmist and unlikely to happen.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Europe's most powerful advocate of balancing budgets to build a strong basis for economic growth, urged Greeks not to walk away from international loan deals.
"We will stick to the agreements. That is the basis on which Europe will prosper," she said Saturday.
The center-right New Democracy party favors sticking to the terms of the unpopular deal with Greece's lenders, the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank. They demanded public spending cuts to slash Greece's enormous deficit.
The radical left-wing Syriza party wants to tear up the current bailout agreement, an act that markets fear will lead to a "disorderly exit" from the eurozone.
Neither party is likely to get a majority on its own, and will need to form a coalition with other parties in order to govern.
Former finance minister Papantoniou, who is now president of the Centre for Progressive Policy Research, said the country needed more flexibility to deal with the austerity measures being demanded by its European lenders.
He said the country needed to implement three changes to its plans to enable it to emerge from the crisis: An extension to the fiscal deficit demands; a commitment to stop lowering incomes and raise taxes; and a European "Marshall Plan" to promote investment and foster growth.
Sunday's election was called after an initial ballot on May 6, the first since Greece's financial crisis exploded, failed to deliver a majority for any one party. Talks to create a government failed.
Since then, Greece -- suffering under a heavy burden of painful austerity measures, high unemployment and a long-running recession -- has been roiled by uncertainty and division.
Many voters were focused on Greece's Euro 2012 soccer match against Russia on Saturday night in Warsaw -- a welcome distraction from the political drama playing out at home, especially after Giorgos Karagounis's goal helped propel the Greek side into the high-profile tournament's quarterfinal round.
A wild election weekend for Greece, France and Egypt
The Greek victory potentially sets them up to play Germany in a future round.
Some analysts fear Sunday's election could again result in no clear winner, leaving Greece with a weak caretaker government at a time when the nation needs clear leadership.
Syriza leader Tsipras has threatened to renege on the terms of Greece's bailout, but he has also expressed a desire to remain in the euro currency union.
Samaras, the leader of New Democracy, has said his party wants to remain in the eurozone and alter existing policies, including stringent austerity measures, to "achieve development and offer people relief."
New Democracy and the Socialist Pasok party were punished by voters in the last election for supporting the bailout program, as well as for agreeing to the austerity measures that came with it.
Pasok party leader Evangelos Venizelos cast his ballot Sunday, calling for a government of shared responsibility.
"We must be united on the home front and have international credibility to be able, with Greece remaining in the Euro, to do what's best for all Greek citizens," he said.
Fotis Kouvelis, leader of the small Democratic Left party and a potential kingmaker if parliament is closely divided, called for progress after hie voted on Sunday, saying the country needed to escape "a situation that cuts us into small pieces and hurts society."
Greece must identify additional budget cuts by the end of June to be considered "compliant" with the terms of its bailout program.
The situation in Greece is likely to be on the minds of world leaders, as they meet in Mexico on Monday for the Group of 20 summit.
Some experts argue that a potential Greek exit would be manageable, assuming the European Central Bank and European Union policymakers respond aggressively.
But others worry that such an unprecedented event would cause chaos in financial markets and shock the global economy.

Wilby standout benefits from motivational talk
When Wilby High's Alex Guzman was a freshman, then freshman coach Gino Capuano felt a need to give Guzman a little pep talk. At the time, Guzman was second-string at linebacker and on the offensive line and his playing time was limited.
"After a practice, I talked to Alex and told him that a strong work ethic is what makes you better and to not get discouraged," said Capuano. "There was talent ahead of him. He kept at it and really wanted to earn a spot. I knew that we could count on him for all four years and that one day, he would make it."
As a junior, Guzman realized his potential by earning All-Brass Division honors as an offensive lineman and was a steady force on defense, helping the Wildcats to a 5-5 record. His best game came against Watertown when he recorded 12 tackles and a quarterback sack.
Now, in just one game as a senior, Guzman continues to make an impact. He recorded 10 solo tackles and an interception in the Wildcats' 30-6 win over Kennedy in their season opener.
"Alex is a very good left guard on offense, but to us, he's more important as a linebacker," said Capuano, in his second year as Wilby's varsity head coach. "He's a typical, hard-nosed football player. He comes up full force all of the time."
Wilby (1-0) visits Torrington (0-1) Friday night.
Immediate impact: A year ago, Woodland junior Mike Kenney was sidelined for much of the season with a hamstring injury. That is all behind him now. Kenney caught three touchdown passes from quarterback Tanner Kingsley of 27, 35 and 38 yards helping the Hawks to a 44-19 non-league win over Branford last Friday.
"We knew had Mike had that type of ability, even last spring (June 2012) before he was hurt," said Woodland coach Tim Shea. "In this preseason, we knew he he would be a go-to-guy or at least one of them. Mike is fast, runs good patterns, and most of all, he catches the ball. He's a pretty quiet. He didn't make a big deal about his game. If he did, I couldn't tell."
Get-well wish: Housatonic Valley senior Jeremy Stiewing, a two-way starter and three-sport athlete, shattered his right ankle in the second quarter of last Thursday's game against Old Saybrook-Westbrook.
Stiewing will undergo surgery to put a plate and screws in Thursday at the Middlesex Center for Advanced Orthopedic Surgery in Middletown.
Not in the scoring summary: Derby's Josh Russell and Rick Bartone recovered two onside kicks booted by Sal Frosceno in the fourth quarter helping the Red Raiders rally past St. Paul, 49-45.
Down 45-27, Derby's Bartone scored on a 1-yard TD run with 8:13 left and Frosceno's PAT kick cut the deficit to 12 points, 45-34. That's when Russell recovered the first onside kick.
"On the first one, Josh came over to me and said that we should change up our play to the right side because there was some spacing," said Derby coach George French. "He was the No. 2 man from the sideline. Sal was perfect with the kick, getting a little bounce. Josh was right on with the call. It's something we practice every day."
Derby's drive would ultimately stall at the St. Paul four with 6:15 left in the game, but St. Paul was forced to punt.
That Derby drive led to Tyler Dobek's 11-yard TD pass from Michael Kreiger. Frosceno's 2-point conversion pass from Kreiger cut the deficit to 45-42 with 2:09 left. That set up the second onside kick and somehow Bartone came up up with the ball in the middle of the pile.
"I couldn't believe it," said French. "I was shocked. To get one and then another, I turned to my assistant coaches and said, 'Wow.' It left me speechless. I saw Josh flying in there he punched the ball out and then there was a big pile and finally, I saw Rick step up with the ball."
Kreiger led the game-winning drive, scoring from eight yards out with 40 seconds left on a QB sneak. French said that Kreiger made the call.
Down by 18 points in the fourth quarter, French reminded the team to not worry about the deficit.
"I told them to relax and keep their heads on straight and to attack," said French. "That's what they did."
Derby (1-0) hosts Holy Cross (1-0) Friday night at Lou DeFilippo Field.
Quote of the Week: "Logan Marchi (of St. Paul) is the best quarterback I've seen in the four years I've been a head coach. His out and fade passes are precise. His over the back shoulder throws are almost undefendable." — Derby coach George French. Marchi threw for 378 yards vs. Derby.
Prep update: Sophomore Isaiah Wright of Waterbury caught five passes for 102 yards and a touchdown to help Kingswood-Oxford to a 38-20 win at Fieldston School in the Bronx, N.Y., last Thursday.

Awesome Fragrance Mist
Frasier Fir Fragrance is by far my very favorite. I have never found anything as nice as this scent. It is so soft. I received some lotion as a gift two years ago and I now purchase everything I can.
Wonderful Frangrance
I use this fragrance every year during the holidays. We do not have a live tree anymore, and this spray, along with the candles, make the house smell as if we do have a live tree. It is just wonderful. Love it!!!
After falling in love with the Frasier Fir hand soap and infuser oil, I was disappointed in the fragrance mist. It is expensive and does not linger, nor cuts unpleasant odors unless you use quite a few sprays of the product. I've been using a different brand with a lilac fragrance that needs only one spray, and was looking forward to switching to the wonderful aroma of fir.
I want to love it--but does not smell as good as an aerosol.
I love the smell of Frasier Fir and I've bought almost all the products Thymes has to offer, and I was so excited to see a 'home mist' for sale downtown. I was very disappointed when I used it. It is definitely not a 'mist' but much more like a 'febreze air freshener' and the scent just does not translate through this medium.. It cheapens it and gives it an extra smell that it not quite pleasant. It smells as if one is trying to mask a bathroom odor with a Frasier air freshener.
In my opinion worth 18 dollars. I wish I had saved my money and bought one of their candles instead.

Just curious to know which level designer created the map Q2DM1 on Quake 2.
I believe it was Tim Willits... I remember seeing an interview with him where he was credited for creating "possible the greatest map ever", "The Edge". I tried finding it- a quick Google search only returned various references to him being the creator.
At any rate, I'm quite certain he is the original creator. He even did a remake or two for other id tech based games.

I see suddenly that my downstream bandwidth is 400 KBps which is the maximum my ISP gives me, so there's an application downloading at its top capacity.
The thing is I didn't start any download, so it's doing it in the background without telling.
How can I know which app or process is using it?
Or, basically, how can I determine how much bandwidth each open process or application is using?
I see suddenly that my downstream bandwidth is 400 KBps which is the maximum my ISP gives me, so there's an application downloading at its top capacity.
This help at all? Take a look at the NetMonitor Sidekick add on. Have not tried it myself but will probably load on virtual machine to see how it works.
Rubbernet is a really great app that allows you to see the per application network usage of your Mac plus it supports Remote Monitoring. You can install a Rubbernet plugin any Mac that you have administrative access and then monitor the per application bandwidth utilization of all the Macintosh on your network from your own computer.
It does cost money (30 Euros on their website but for some reason its $19.99 on the Mac App Store but they have a fully functional Free Trial on their website. I haven't bought the app yet, so I can not confirm that you can buy one license for the app and then install the plugin on any number of Macs for now additional charge. But that seems to be the situation.
The Developers are the same folks who do the Linkinus IRC Client.
lsof and iftop (direct Link to install package) are the best tools that come to mind.
Also, take a look at this question.
You can try nettop(1) in the Terminal. It is pre-installed, and refreshes every few seconds to provide a dashboard of all open network connections (by process) with their usage. Better than
Then hit 'd' and look for odd-looking entries or entries with consistently large traffic in the 'bytes in' or 'bytes out' column. The 'd' instructs nettop to only show differences in each screen refresh.
Practical usage notes:
If you don't recognize the process name, Google it.
If you don't want the process around, get the pid (the number next to the process name in nettop), and kill it with
If you're interested in what the process is transmitting over the network, use the client port number for that particular connection (e.g. '53133' from
If you're interested in the destination the process is talking to, but the destination IP address doesn't have a reverse DNS hostname (like in the previous example), then try visiting that IP address in a web browser as https://IP, click the broken lock icon in the address bar, and view the certificate details to find out which domain is served there (*.google.com in this case). This won't work if SSL port 443 isn't open on the destination.
Another option that is not quite as good as it does not have any kind of remote monitoring mechnaism and didn't seem to do as good a job is OS Track. Its also available on the Mac App Store for free. I didn't really like this app as it seemed to consume a lot of resources itself. But that might be something they fixed in a later version.

I am the creator / main developer of a small sized open source (PHP) project (GPL3). Currently there is a development team of 3 people (me included). This team has been quite active for some time, but since almost 2 years not much has happened. I myself have decided I want to stop working on the project, but I can't just leave the project because I care about it and I know if I abandon it, it will just be a matter of time before the project completely dies. At this moment, there are still some users and the project is only slightly out-of-date.
So I'm thinking about selling the whole project. Of course I'd need to get consent of the other developers, but for now I'm assuming that's not a big problem. So at this moment I have 2 questions:
1) If the project would be sold to a commercial party, would it be possible for them to convert the project to closed source? I would prefer to sell the project to a company/organization that would continue the development under an open source license.
2) Does anyone have any tips to find interested parties? I don't know if I just want to put up a "For Sale" sign on the website of the project. Maybe someone has experience with a comparable situation.
Ok guys, thanks in advance!

(Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) – The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is undertaking a number of significant actions to ensure the world's oil supply does not run short in the event of military action in Iraq. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is committed to keeping oil prices and the market as stable as possible despite disruptions that may arise in the coming weeks and months.
Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi stated: "We will make sure there is enough oil in the market. We have plenty of spare capacity."
Saudi Arabia has taken actions to increase production capacity and store oil supplies.
In the event of any market disruptions, al-Naimi said, " we are confident that OPEC in general and Saudi Arabia in particular will deliver."

The Ohio Valley has been making strides in the mental health field, local physicians say, from opening up several facilities that provide a safe environment for those who are in need to making mental health a part of the curriculum at local colleges.
But there is still more that can be done and more that needs to be done, particularly following the Newtown, Conn., school shooting in December.
"As a whole we lag behind (in mental health); we focus more on the physical screening, but it is not unique to this area. We are playing catch up," said Dr. Angelo Georges, chief medical officer at Wheeling Hospital.

John Antal, left, director of the Robert C. Byrd Child & Adolescent Mental Health Center in Wheeling, and Creative Arts therapist Valerie Fincham pose with some of the artwork created by children during therapy sessions.
In the Ohio Valley, there are a number of facilities that cater to the mentally ill.
"We have a variety of different facilities that implement education and counseling and therapeutic needs for mentally ill, even diverse groups of special populations and special diagnoses," said Kristin Wittenbrook, marketing director for the Country Club Retirement Campus, who holds a master's degree in forensic psychology. "I think we are taking a positive approach by continuing education with that. Look at Belmont College, they have a mental health program ... that is a hard program. I think one of the downfalls we do have in our mental health recovery for people is people going in and out of jail."
Those who are constantly in and out of prison are often overlooked and not given the proper treatment or rehabilitation, which could result in entering the prison system again.
"There are so many individual counselors ... we are stacked good with professionals to help people with mental illnesses but I think our focus also needs to be on rehabilitating the hardcore criminals," said Wittenbrook.
Another issue that Georges feels contributes to the mental health problems in the area is the economy.
"Because of the economy in this area there is more depression ..." Georges said. "But we are making great progress."
The senior population also faces depression, from the loss of loved ones and the loss of their independence, where they are now in a nursing home or living with other family members rather than in their own home. This can lead to depression.
"Certainly they are going to be depressed about moving out of what they worked for their whole entire life and that is why we have a psychologist that comes in weekly and does counseling here, at Country Club Retirement Campus," said Wittenbrook. "With the dynamic change of life in any situation, there is a trigger for anxiety, depression or any other matter."
In Bellaire, Belmont Community Hospital houses the county's only inpatient psychiatric facility, and what is known as the Behavioral Medicine Center at BCH is expanding.
The Behavioral Medicine Center, a division of Wheeling Hospital, is increasing the number of beds from 10 to 16 to provide care to additional patients. It offers acute, short-term, multidisciplinary mental health treatment to adults with psychiatric diagnoses that require stabilization in a 24-hour secured setting.
"In collaboration with a highly trained team of health care professionals, individual patient needs are monitored and evaluated, determining the recommended level of care and length of treatment," said John DeBlasis, BCH administrator.
The center routinely treats patients with disorders that present unique care issues. Treatment plans, mental status assessments, depression scales, psychosocial and occupational therapy are all used to care for patients. Family and group therapy sessions also are offered.
"Our mission is to provide safe, effective and efficient psychiatric care that will contribute to the total care of the patient and be designed to help the patient regain and maintain his/her maximum degree of health upon returning home," DeBlasis said. "We also foster and encourage an atmosphere of compassion conducive to caring for patients."
Treatment at the BCH center is conducted by the team of Neurobehavioral Medicine Consultants, led by Dr. Ali Melhem. The consultants are based in St. Clairsville.
"We are fortunate to have a group of this caliber offering this much-needed treatment in our area," said DeBlasis said. "By using this team, we are ensuring that even upon discharge our patients will receive a continuum of care."

"We all believe in one God, who sent messengers for the good of humanity in this world and the hereafter," said King Abdullah. "God's will, praise be to Him, was that people should differ in their faiths. If the Almighty had so desired, all mankind would have shared the same religion. We are meeting today to affirm that the religions that God Almighty desired for the happiness of man, should be a means to ensure that happiness."
The World Conference on Dialogue, which is taking place in Madrid, Spain, brings together representatives of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism and Confucianism to reinforce the common values shared by their respective faiths.
This conference follows a dialogue among Islamic scholars that took place in Makkah, Saudi Arabia in June. Last year, King Abdullah met with Pope Benedict XVI, in the first meeting between a Saudi King and the leader of the Catholic Church.
Saudi Ambassador to the United States, Adel Al-Jubeir, said: "The idea stemmed from King Abdullah's view that there are universal values that are common to all faiths, and that if we focus on those universal values we will see that there is a lot more that binds us as human beings than divides us."
The conference is focusing on four major themes:
1. The importance of dialogue in human society
2. The foundations of religious and civilizational dialogue
3. The common human aspects in dialogue
4. The evaluation and promotion of dialogue
King Abdullah concluded: "If we wish this historic meeting to succeed, we must focus on the common denominators that unite us, namely, deep faith in God, noble principles, and lofty moral values, which constitute the essence of religion."
The World Conference on Dialogue is taking place from July 16-18, 2008, and is the result of a call for interfaith dialogue by King Abdullah in May.

In metastatic prostate cancer the main systemic treatment is androgen suppression (AS), either by surgical castration (orchiectomy) or by long-term use of a luteinizing-hormone-releasing-hormone agonist. The low plasma concentrations of androgens that remain, which are chiefly of adrenal origin, could be further reduced by addition of long-term treatment with nonsteroidal antiandrogen such as nilutamide, flutamide, or cyproterone acetate. Such combination of AS with an antiandrogen is referred to as total androgen blockade (TAB). There have been many randomized trials comparing TAB with AS alone but, on average, they involved only a few hundred patients each. In this meta-analysis, the researchers reviewed the mortality and morbidity findings from all the available trials of TAB versus AS in advanced prostate cancer.
A total of 20 trials of 6320 patients that included a randomization of immediate nonsteroidal antiandrogens with castration (TAB) versus castration alone (AS) for metastatic prostate cancer were included.
In metastatic prostate cancer, addition of a nonsteroidal antiandrogen to castration only improved the 5-year survival by about 5%. Although this overview brought together all available randomized evidence on survival, it did not assess other medical outcomes, quality of life, or treatment costs. Longer follow-up is needed to draw any definitive conclusions.

Given a combinatorial type of a convex polytope, what techniques are available for showing that it cannot be realized as a Voronoi cell of some point system?
Every (non-flat) convex polytope is the Voronoi cell of a point in a set of points. Constructive proof: pick a point inside the polytope, and build its symmetric reflection along every facet of the polytope.
There is this paper of Boissonnat and Karavelas where they prove bounds on the combinatorial convexity of Voronoi cells. Presumably if your polytope does not satisfy the bound, it is not a Voronoi cell..

When I've got a station manned, I'm trying to work out what causes my crew to develop in skills. It looks like engines and cockpit crew only upgrade when an attack is dodged, and then get a single skill point. Is this correct, and what causes Shields and Weapons to get an upgrade point?
A crew member who is controlling a helm gains one point of experience for each incoming projectile that is dodged during combat. This includes asteroids, so long as you are in combat at the time. (Note that the dodges do not count while you ship is under the effects of +60% evasion from a cloak.)
This can be explicitly trained by finding an enemy that cannot break through your shields, and letting him fire at you. Increasing your dodge chance (i.e. more power to engines) will help this occur quicker, but even with the default chance you can max out the skill eventually.
Exactly as for piloting, a crew member manning the engines gains one point of XP for each projectile evaded while uncloaked in combat - and so it can be trained in the same way.
A crew member who is manning the weapons station gains one point of experience for each weapon that is fired. It doesn't matter whether it hits or misses, or whether it can do damage (e.g. a beam weapon fired at a shield).
(Multi-shot weapons such as burst lasers still count as a single fire order and hence a single XP.)
This can be trained by firing non-lethal weapons (e.g. ones that do ion damage) repeatedly against a target that cannot damage you.
A crew member manning the shields station gains one point of experience for each shield "bubble" that is brought back up during combat. It doesn't matter why the shields were down, be that direct enemy fire, ion damage, asteroid strikes,
This can be trained by letting a target that cannot break through all of your shields repeatedly take one layer down. (For fastest results, move your pilot away from the helm, or reduce your engines to 0 power. This will reduce your dodge chance to 0%, ensuring that everything hits your shields.)
Note that you used to be able to manually remove power and restore it in combat, to get points, but this has been patched.
A crew member gains one point of experience for getting the "finishing blow" when repairing a (sub)system. Note that hull breaches provide no repair experience.
There's no specific way to train this as it requires your systems to be damaged. Though you can focus the XP gains by always having the same person run around and repair everything after a battle.
A crew member gains one point of experience for getting the finishing blow when fighting an enemy crew member or (sub)system.
This generally gets trained in "real" situations. However, since XP is gained for taking out systems, a few extra XP can be gained from boarding if one tries to take out the enemy's systems before the crew.
Advanced Edition:
Asteroid fields used to be an excellent way to max out the shield stat on one or more characters, however, with the advanced edition, this is no longer possible. Even in combat, shield damage from asteroids no longer provide any benefit. Thus, if you want to raise the shield stat, you are best off letting an enemy incapable of breaking through all of your shields repeatedly hit you.
A trick regarding hand-to-hand combat is now to board an enemy vessel that has a cloning bay and repeatedly kill off the crew in melee combat. As long as you don't destroy the cloning bay while all of their crew is dead, they will continue to re-spawn -- allowing you to maximize the combat stat on as many of your crew-mates as you'd like if you are careful.
Yes that is correct.
Shield operators get a point for every shield bubble they help to bring up in combat.
Weapon operators get a point for every weapon they help fire. This is per target action, so a single burst of 5 shots from a Burst Laser 3 will only provide 1 experience (but could provide multiple experience in shield, pilot, or engines to a target crew).

SpaceSaver M Keyboard
Company: Unicomp
Price: $94
A while back, I was talking with an engineer who is also a big Mac fan. He uses a docked Macbook Pro in the office, attached to a big monitor and a… IBM keyboard? Upon closer inspection, I noticed it was an original IBM Model M keyboard, which I have always considered the best pure typing keyboard ever made. When I asked him about it, it sparked a half-hour conversation, in which he agreed it was the best ever made, and he showed me the PS2 to USB adapter he used to make the old keyboard work on his modern Macintosh.

Erika GoodmanObituary
Posted 21 January 2005 - 08:16 PM
Posted 21 January 2005 - 09:15 PM
Posted 25 January 2005 - 09:39 AM
In place of a formal obituary, I should like to offer this personal remembrance:
I remember Erika at 16. She was so thin, that you would have thought that she would break in doing her extraordinary developpés. As she matured, though, she became stockier, and she was always trying, in my opinion, to get back to how she looked at 16. She was the most marvelous legato and lyrical dancer, and her Schnofler-Tanz in "Kettentanz" with its extended flurry of bourrées all over the stage has never been equalled. She first came to high critical notice in Gerald Arpino's "Nightwings" as second cast to Lisa Bradley as the Bird-woman. She was one of the dancers selected personally by Robert Joffrey to make the "Delacorte Resurrection" of the Robert Joffrey Ballet after Rebekah Harkness split the Harkness Ballet away. Despite her appearance, she was an absolute feather to lift, one of those women that a partner feels that he may be holding to the stage, she felt so like she might fly off if not held down! A most atypical, unlikely-looking and yet marvel-filled dancer.
I suppose that even if the story isn't true, she might be happy to have somebody recall things like that about her. We should all be so lucky!

I haven't heard anything of Erika's passing, and I've known her since she was 16. Let me check around and find out if any of our colleagues know anything.
I was told of Erica's death by one of the teachers at the Joffrey School, and by a member of the company. Supposedly, she had just finished getting her doctorate and was helping out at Career Transition for Dancers in NYC. This dancer also informed me that Erica's cat needs a new home---if anyone has room.
I hope there will be an obituary, perhaps in Dance Magazine. Erica was a beautiful dancer and a courageous person. I remember seeing her in the Nova documentary "Dying to be thin" several years ago, where she quite openly discussed her battle with anorexia nervosa. I often use this documentary when I do a workshop for dancers, because it is extremely informative about the dangers of dieting, as well as offering the latest information on how to get help for eating problems.

"To establish her dance idea, Tharp puts a serene Erika Goodman among the swirls of the other dancers, methodically performing the steps in the ballet dictionary, in alphabetical order. Every once in a while you notice her get caught up in the gushing energy of the mobs. She wavers, hops inelegantly and rhythmically on pointe, or her shoulders start to wiggle. But she sticks to her principals, and you don't resent her for it."
She looked to me like the center of a storm, or a true believer following her faith.

She looked to me like the center of a storm, or a true believer following her faith.
In responding to Mel's astonishent that Erica woul reveal such a "dark" part of her life," I can only say that she was desperate to communicate her life story in the hope of helping other dancers avoid serious eating disorders. I know this from many personal conversations, where she requested my help in seeking out various avenues to discuss disordered eating in dancers. Stil, I have no idea why there was no obituary, given her talent.

I don't see any reason that this link shouldn't be here. It shows Erika at her most noble, speaking out in order to help the eating-disordered. Thanks for the link.
I couldn't agree more. Erica wanted to help other dancers avoid the lifelong struggle she endured. The documentary offers a candid view of this problem, & Erica's presence is invaluable. I can't tell you how many young dancers I know who have sought help for eating problems after hearing her speak. Erica Goodman's participation in the documentary was indeed a noble cause.

Medicaid has become one of the state's biggest budget drains, and now the health care program is trying to heal itself.
A recent fact-finding study shows some alarming stats about the program.
Medicaid administrators have a three-pronged attack to address the ballooning Medicaid budget deficits:
The first phase, benefit management, will begin on Saturday, when health care contractor First Health takes over the prescription requests and payments for the Medicaid program. First Health will use computer technology to monitor prescriptions in real time and alert pharmacies to over-prescribing or dangerous drug mixes, which could save patients' lives and save the state money.

The Durango High School softball team must have had its sights on that Saturday night homecoming dance: They didn�t waste any time in twice dispatching Delta in a doubleheader Saturday morning at Aspen Field on the Fort Lewis College campus.
DHS won Game 1 13-2 in five innings, then won Game 2 8-0.
And the Demons did it with zero errors for the third consecutive game.
�I am ecstatic to report that the Demons played errorless ball,� DHS head coach John Bernazzani said. �I attribute that to it being late in the season, seeing a lot of innings, seeing a lot of game time. As I told the girls (Saturday), you get comfortable with the pressure of playing the game.�
Of the Demons� 10 total hits in Game 1, Corissa Bosick, Chane�l McCloskey, Mercy Lashway and Lexy Vidunas each had two. Mikayla Jeffryes, Lashway and Vidunas also led the team with two RBIs apiece.
�Corissa Bosick, again lighting it up,� Bernazzani said.
Vidunas got the win in the circle, giving up seven hits and two earned runs with three strikeouts over five innings.
�Not amazing but satisfying,� Bernazzani said.
Bosick added another two hits Game 2 for the Demons, as did Augusta Brockus and Sidney Corbin. Bosick led the team with two of their four RBIs.
Vidunas got her second win of the day from the circle in a �very efficient� outing than the first one. She gave up just four hits over seven innings while striking out eight.
Saturday was senior day for Hailey Baker, Bosick, Corbin, Jeffryes, Chanel McCloskey and Mackenzie Sill.
DHS (8-10) will play its final regular-season game at 5 p.m. Thursday at Montezuma-Cortez.

Are there mathematical theorems that sound trivial and are obviously true, but are really tough to rigorously show?
For example I stumbled across this question. The author asks how to show that two continuous curves that connect the points $(0,0)$ with $(1,1)$ and $(0,1)$ with $(1,0)$ always have an intersection (the curves are restricted to $[0,1]\times[0,1]$). I asked a few persons and they all agreed that it is clear to be true from a geometrical point of view, but the actual proof is really tricky (especially if you do not use topology). This surprised me and also frightened me a bit, because I thought that trivial theorems always have trivial proofs (otherwise it would be difficult to learn mathematics). Are there more such examples or even stronger ones?

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -Saying that the new system for renewals and registration has produced growing pains is an understatement.
With people forced to wait all day long, they are growing skeptical of just how much better the new system is supposed to be.
Motor Vehicle Director Donna Shelite answered questions and the commission heard from Democrat State Senator Laura Kelly. Kelly told the commission she wanted to look into improvements in the system.
Kansas Director of Vehicles Donna Shelite, knows everyone is tired of the long waits for renewals and registration. She says the problem lies mainly in converting old records into the new system. 73,000 records in May didn't convert over properly and had to be re-created from scratch.
Today Shawnee County Treasurer's Office Manager, Marcia Ralston gave a plea for help from the state saying, "Our hands are tied, and when we call for help, we don't get it an answer, or if we do they say they cannot help us any better then we can. I don't speak up for publicity, I speak up for what's right and it's not right that all these people have wait all day for their renewals and cannot get work done.
Shawnee County commissioners wanted more cooperation to come out of this meeting and Kansas Director of Vehicles for the state, Donna Shelite, said she is willing to provide anything that any of the counties need to get back on track.
Commissioner Ted Ensley stearnly voiced his displeasure with the problems, saying " This community does not deserve to have to put up with these lines day after day. Cooperation needs to happen and it needs to get better."
Senator Kelly sees some learning that can and will be done in the future after this experience. "I think this is a great education for the state. Trying to do something like this so fast, all at once doesn't work."
Thursday afternoon Sen. Kelly announced she is asking for a full legislative audit of the new motor vehicle system. She says the audit will look not only at the current problems but also how the new system was developed, tested and implemented in the counties.
The states computer system went down this afternoon, causing the DMVprogram to shut down as well.
The contract with the 3M, the company which installed the software, is supposed to end friday, but the state is attempting to extend it, until the problems are solved.
The commissioners plan on revisiting with Shelite and checking progress in thirty days.

The National Weather Service office in Pleasant Hill, Mo., placed Leavenworth County, along with much of the Kansas City metropolitan area, under a tornado watch.
The watch was issued at 10 a.m. for Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Bourbon, Johnson, Miami, Cherokee, Crawford and Linn counties.
The NWS also issued a flood warning for Stranger Creek, both at Easton and in Tonganoxie and urged motorists not to drive through water covering the roadway.
Both warnings accompanied severe thunderstorms expected to move through the area Wednesday, bringing afternoon rainfall of up to two to four inches.

I love the water but please keep an eye on me at the same time!
Dear Mum and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, the bathing pond and pool in the Alpenrose are among my favourite spots here. But I'm still little and so please: watch over me.
- Please don't let me out of your sight when I'm playing in the Alpenrose garden. Even for a short period of time. The danger that I'll get too close to the water when playing is a real one.
- Please put on my water wings even if I'm only playing on the water and even if I have already taken swimming lessons. Even when I am wearing the water wings, don't forget to supervise me.
- We've left the water wings at home! Never mind. We can borrow them from the reception desk.
- Please make sure too that I don't walk on any jetties that lead into deeper water. I could slip and fall into the water.
- Please do not rely on the fact that there are plenty of other people around to take care of me. You are responsible for me and have a duty of supervision.
- I know that I'm not allowed to jump into the bathing pond. But you must be mindful of this rule too. Even if I can swim, there is a considerable risk that the water could be shallow and I could hurt myself.
- We all love the sunshine. But please protect my sensitive skin with an adequate sunblock and my head with a little hat or cap. If it's very hot, I might also become exhausted, in which case I should not go into the water. But please take care that the sun and heat don't become too much for yourselves either.
- In the event of a thunderstorm, everybody should move away from the bathing pond and the pool. There is a potential risk of a lightning strike.
- A bathing pond or pool can be dangerous for me in winter too. Even if the bathing pond is covered with ice, I must not, under any circumstances, be allowed to step on the ice because it can all too easily break. The same goes for you adults as well!


text: After I submitted the tutorial on the sketched video of the baby chick, I received a bunch of requests on making a step by step lesson on "how to draw a baby chicken". Not just any chick though, it had to be the one that was in the video and since I think that it's an awesome idea, making the drawing in a step by step fashion was pretty fun. There is so many ways one can choose to draw chicks, and because are considered to be somewhat ugly animals, it is often hard making a chicken look cute unless they are drawn in chibi, cartoon, or baby form like you see here. I tackled this task the same way I did the sketch, and if you go about this tutorial the same way I show you, it should be a rather simple baby chicken to draw. Well, I guess that's about it. I will now let you guys get busy, and I will also get busy uploading another lesson for you all to enjoy. Adios peeps, and have a wonderful drawing day!
