Why was it that Yizhak originally chose to bless Eisav and not Yackov? I would have thought he would bless both of his sons equally. Why did he choose to only give the blessing to one of them?

Yitzchak did have equal blessings for both of his sons. He intended to bless Eisav with general wealth and prosperity. As it says in Genesis 27:28-29, "May God give you of the dew of heaven, and of the fat places of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine..." This is a blessing that Eisav should be well-off and successful in life. However, there was also a second blessing that was specific to this family - the covenant that God made with Abraham, that his family should inherit that Land of Canaan and that his children will be like the stars in the sky (Genesis 15). This was the blessing that Yitzchak intended to give to Yaakov - and he does give it to him, in Genesis 28:3-5. "And may God bless you and make you a mighty nation, and give you the blessing of Abraham, that you shall inherit the Land that God promised to Abraham." [Translation is mine.]
So you see that there are two blessings. Eisav was supposed to get a general blessing of wealth and success, and Yaakov was supposed to get the specific Abraham's Family blessing. However, Yaakov, at Rivka's insistence, jumped the gun, and took both blessings. Perhaps if he hadn't done so, the verses which tell us that Eisav hated Yaakov would have instead told us that Yitzchak invited Yaakov over so that he could bless him as well.
Don't just take my word for it:
Why did Rivka persuasade Yaakov to get both blessings? One answer is the one quoted by @Rony above. Or, perhaps Rivka simply misunderstood Yitzchak's intentions, and thought that he intended to give the Abraham-specific blessing to Eisav. Rabbi Elchanan Samet deals with this question, and you can view his answers here: http://www.vbm-torah.org/parsha.60/06toldot.htm
There is an opinion which I heard in a shiur given by Rabbi Baruch Rosenblum, that Yizhak knew that Am Yisrael will be Malechet Cohanim (a nation of Cohanim) totally invloved in Torah and avodat Hashem, but for that you need a Zebulun that will take care after all the material needs of the Cohanim. He thought that Eisav would be this Zebulun and that is why he wanted to give him the blessing that dealt with what is needed to achieve this. Rivka knew that this had no chance and so the story developed the way it did. Yizhak had in mind to bless Ya'akov with the spiritual blessing, which he eventually did.
The answer here, from R. Schneur Zalman of Liadi, also addresses this issue. In brief, Yitzchak planned to bless Eisav because he thought that this would be the right way to redeem the spiritual "sparks" that he possessed.
Perhaps Rashi (Bereshit 28:15) is addressing the second half of your question when he says:

Let $S$ be a complex surface whose fundamental group is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a product of two curves of genera $>1$. Does $S$ have to be a product of two curves?
The answer in no, because of the following result:
Theorem 1. Let $X$ be a non-ruled minimal surface. Then there exists a finite ramified covering $S \to X$ of degree $>1$, such that $S$ is minimal of general type with $K_S$ very ample, $\pi_1(S) \cong \pi_1(X)$ and $S$ is not birationally equivalent to $X$. We can moreover assume that $S$ has negative index, i.e. $K_S^2 - 8 \chi(\mathcal{O}_S) <0$.
So the fundamental group $\pi_1(X)$ alone does not determine the birational type of $X$, and in general not even its diffeomorphism type.
When $X$ is the product of two curves, however, something more can be said, provided that one also knows the topological Euler number. More precisely one proves the following
Theorem 2. Let $C_1$, $C_2$ be smooth curves of genus $g_1$, $g_2$, with $g_i \geq 2$, and let $X=C_1 \times C_2$. Then any surface $S$ such that $\pi_1(S) \cong \pi_1(X)$ and $e(S)=e(X)$ is isomorphic to a product of two curves of the same genera.
Theorems 1 and 2 were proven by F. Catanese in his paper Fibred surfaces, varieties isogenous to a product and related moduli spaces, which considers the more general situation $X=(C_1 \times C_2)/G$, where $G$ is a finite group acting freely on the product $C_1 \times C_2$.
All two-dimensional complex tori $T$ have the same fundamental group, because such a torus is homeomorphic to a product of four copies of the unit circle $S^1$. Among them there are all the products of $E_1 \times E_2$ of elliptic curves. Since each elliptic curve is homeomorphic to a product of two copies of $S^1$, the fundamental groups of $T$ and $E_1 \times E_2$ are isomorphic (for all $T, E_1,E_2$). However, almost all two-dimensional complex tori are not biholomorphically isomorphic to a product of elliptic curves.
Shafarevich's ``Basic algebraic geometry" contains examples of two-dimensional complex tori that do not contain complete complex curves at all and therefore are not the products of two curves. One may also get an explicit example of such a torus (without curves), starting with a totally complex quartic number field $F$ that does not contain an imaginary quadratic subfield, choosing a rank 4 discrete lattice $\Gamma$ in the realification $F_R$ of $F$ and putting $T=F_R/\Gamma$ (Math. Ann. 303 (1995), 11--29).
As for complex abelian surfaces $A$ (i.e., algebraizable two-dimensional complex tori), almost all of them are also not isomorphic to a product of elliptic curves. An explicit example is provided by the jacobian $J(C)$ of the genus 2 curve $C:y^2=x^5-x-1$. Actually, it is known (arXiv:math/9909052 [math.AG]) that $J(C)$ has no nontrivial endomorphisms and therefore is not isomorphic to a product of elliptic curves.

Today I would like to show you this necklace again. A year or two ago, I also posted this on CW but actually to date have not answered my questions about this. Hence, I ask your help again. I must admit I'v never seen such a necklace or anything like this!
You see a beautiful sterling silver necklace with pendant and tassels. There are two marks in the pendant and one on the closure of the chain.
(see photo number 4, all three toghether).
I think the tassels on the chain and the application round at the end of the chain inlaid with Onyx either French jet. But I would really like to know what material this pendant is made. I get the impresson (placed also a photo, number 4, made through a loupe) that it's molded material either made of Gutta Percha either from Vulcanite. If it's made of Gutta Percha it is too deep black in color and actually also for Vulcanite. I also don't think it's Bog Oak. Could it than still made of jet ?? I appreciate your feedback.

SA 676 crashes
I have an application which crashes SA when a field is changed. I don't know that I am able to recreate the scenario so I've attached an application that causes SA to crash.
The application is slimmed down to a tree store and a model. The store includes static data to be displayed in a tree grid. Making a change to the model field 'Builtin', such as changing the field type, causes SA to crash. At least for me. Perhaps your mileage will vary.
After much trial and error the error can be eliminated by editing the static data in the store's 'root' property.
I'm providing this post as a heads-up in case it lets you understand why SA crashes.
27 Dec 2012 12:53 PM #2
I too found static data changes causing intermittent crashes.

I download the attachment I posted to produce the problem and so create the image. This is a different screen to the post today.
Are you unable to reproduce the problem?
Also, I'm seeing hard crashes and also SA formatted errors when making other changes. I'll try to reproduce on a different machine - maybe there's an environmental issue on some Windows machines.

Reproduced on Windows Server 2008
I've just installed SA 676 on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 and see the same hard crash. The message box is slightly different but that's a platform thing.
I have VS including VS C++ so let me know if there's anything I can do to provide debug information.

We are standardizing on the Desktop Packager. Hopefully this is already fixed with that move, we'll see if we can test it out (once we can repro).Aaron Conran

Eugene Hoshiko, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A global retirement crisis is bearing down on workers of all ages.
Spawned years before the Great Recession and the financial meltdown in 2008, the crisis was significantly worsened by those twin traumas. It will play out for decades, and its consequences will be far-reaching.
Many people will be forced to work well past the traditional retirement age of 65 — to 70 or even longer. Living standards will fall, and poverty rates will rise for the elderly in wealthy countries that built safety nets for seniors after World War II. In developing countries, people's rising expectations will be frustrated if governments can't afford retirement systems to replace the tradition of children caring for aging parents.
The problems are emerging as the generation born after World War II moves into retirement.
"The first wave of under-prepared workers is going to try to go into retirement and will find they can't afford to do so," says Norman Dreger, a retirement specialist in Frankfurt, Germany, who works for Mercer, a global consulting firm.
The crisis is a convergence of three factors:
— Countries are slashing retirement benefits and raising the age to start collecting them. These countries are awash in debt after overspending last decade and racking up enormous deficits since the recession. Now, they face a demographics disaster as retirees live longer and falling birth rates mean there will be fewer workers to support them.
— Companies have eliminated traditional pension plans that cost employees nothing and guaranteed them a monthly check in retirement.
— Individuals spent freely and failed to save before the recession, and they saw much of their wealth disappear once it hit.
Those factors have been documented individually. What is less appreciated is their combined ferocity and their global scope.
"Most countries are not ready to meet what is sure to be one of the defining challenges of the 21st century," the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, concluded in a report this fall.
Mikio Fukushima, who is 52 and lives in Tokyo, is typical of those facing an uncertain retirement. Fukushima, who works in private investment, worries that he might have to move somewhere cheaper, maybe Malaysia, after age 70 to get by comfortably on income from his investments and a public pension of just $10,000 a year.
If he stayed in Japan, he says, "We wouldn't be able to travel at all."
People like Fukushima who are fretting over their retirement prospects stand in contrast to many who are already retired. Many workers were recipients of generous corporate pensions and government benefits that had yet to be cut.
Jean-Pierre Bigand, 66, retired Sept. 1, in time to enjoy all the perks of a retirement system in France that's now in peril. Bigand lives in the countryside outside the city of Rouen in Normandy. He has a second home in Provence. He's just taken a vacation on Oleron island off the Atlantic Coast and is planning a five-week trip to Guadeloupe. "Travel is our biggest expense," he says.
In Rochester, Minn., Elaine Case, 58, and her husband, Bill Wiktor, 61, both retired at 56 after three-decade careers at IBM. They have company pensions and will receive Social Security in a few years. They love to travel. Wiktor climbed Mount Kilimanjaro last year. They've taken a trans-Atlantic cruise and plan next year to hike Peru's Inca trail.
"We're both enjoying our second lives immensely and with gratitude," Case says.

Can the word 'hence' be used at the beginning of a sentence? For example:
Hence, I am not feeling well, I am unable to work.
Can the word 'hence' be used at the beginning of a sentence? For example:
I'd rather write your example using since like:
"Hence" is a synonym of "therefore", "consequently", "because of that", etc, and being a conjunctive adverb that connects a main clause and a subordinate one, it should appear within the subordinate:
You put a semicolon and a comma after like that, but there are also other ways. I'll edit if I find good examples. If someone can integrate, feel free to do it.
You can use hence at the beginning of a sentence, but not like that. Because it means "therefore", it needs to come after the cause. If you want a conjunction that can come before the cause, use since.
Like Neil Coffey said, hence can sound a bit formal. (I wouldn't say it's very formal, just a bit more formal than, say, since.) I think the most natural-sounding way to tell your boss you're sick would be something like:
Something no one has pointed out here.
Hence can also be followed directly by a noun. Examples:
He is sick, hence his absence.
It is winter, hence the snow.
I just received a promotion at work, hence the new car.
His mother was a piano teacher, hence his interest in classical music.
In all of these, the second clause is the situation or thing being queried and the first gives an explanation/reason as to how it arose.
"Hence" is a final conjunction; hence it should not be used at the beginning of a sentence in formal writing, according to the Chicago Manual of Style.
Other final conjunctions include thus, so and therefore.
You could rephrase your sentence as:
When used in one of its archaic forms it's conceivable to have 'hence' appear as the first word of a sentence.
I'm sure you can find equally awkward constructs that are still grammatically correct.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Hence is one of the ablative demonstratives, the others being thence and whence. All of them sound archaic, especially the latter two. Their literal meanings are "from here," "from there," and "from where," respectively, but they can also mean "because of this," "because of that," and "because of which." (cf. also the allative demonstratives hither, thither, and whither.: "to here," "to there," "to where.")
The example in the original post would be correct if the previous sentence expressed an event likely to cause sickness.
Thank you for your interest in this question.

In September 2011, Mina Ahadi was invited to give a speech at the TEDxESPM conference in São Paulo, Brazil on her campaign against stoning and execution. In her speech she talks about her work and the campaign to save Iran stoning case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani. Mina's first husband was executed in the same prison that Sakineh awaits her death by stoning sentence. Read on…
I am Mina Ahadi from Iran. About 5 years ago a boy called me from Iran. He was 17/18 years old and said: "Is this human rights office?" And I replied: "Yes, I deal with human rights." He said: "Are you Mina Ahadi?" and I said: "Yes, what can I do to help you?" And he said: "My mother is going to be stoned to death. Mina, you have to help me." I took a deep breath and said: "Who is your mother?" And he replied: "Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani." I asked: "Where is your mother?" And he answered: "In Tabriz prison."
I had to take several breaths for Sakineh sits in the prison where my husband was executed. That's when I said: "Okay, wait, I'm writing down the name, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, and I promise you Sajjad, I'll help you. I won't allow your mother to be stoned to death."
He called again on 2nd June 2010. He said: "Mina, now it's time. In 2 weeks my mother will be stoned to death." I said: "You and your sister Saideh (17 years old) have to write a letter and we will translate this letter and I'll ask people all over the world: Are we going to let this woman be stoned to death in Iran? What are we going to do about it?"
They wrote the letter and we at the International Committee against Stoning translated it into German and English and published it on the Internet. After two days, people, ordinary people from all over the world, had translated it into 30 languages and we have reached millions of people through this campaign. We managed to organise demonstrations in 110 cities. All these people stood up and did something against this barbarism.
I want to explain here why my husband was executed in Iran in the very same prison Sakineh languishes in. I was a medical student in Iran; I was born in a small village named Abhar and because of religion I was forced to go out from the age of nine dressed in a chador. I wanted to play. I asked my mother why my brother could and I couldn't and the answer was always: because we are Muslims, because we are a Muslim family. Then I thought, I'm going to go to a big city, and then I'll have my freedom. There I was allowed to study medicine at the University of Tabriz. The first day when I entered the university I threw away my chador and wore a mini skirt and went out. And I thought: Okay, now I have my freedom. At the University of Tabriz (back then it was the Shah's time) I slowly realised that it's not a free life because we were for example not allowed to discuss many things or to think. We were not allowed to read Maxim Gorky, and of course, reading Marx was also prohibited. I participated in a revolution against the Shah's regime. Back then, we young people were on the streets but we didn't have the chance to give reports of our revolution. There was no Facebook or Twitter then. I heard from the BBC that our revolution was an 'Islamic' revolution, and I laughed. Our leader was supposed to be a man named Khomeini. When we heard that name from the BBC, we all laughed. But this was no laughing matter, because the Islamists gained power in Iran. From the beginning I was against the Islamic regime of Iran too. [Read more…]

Why is は used at the end of こんにちは? Is the last letter the particle は, or is there a different explanation?
I suppose you could equally ask "Why is こんにちは pronounced 'konnichiwa'?" - I guess gaikokujin tend to be more spoken-language-centric, whereas nihonjin tend to be more written-language-centric.
Which is correct: こんばんわ or こんばんは?-こんばんわ-or-こんばんは mentions konnichiwa, but the question is interpreted more as "When should I use こんばんわ and when should I use こんばんは?"

Saturday July 5th At SSP Produces Some Great Racing
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Alyssa Jones)
In addition to the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series being on tap at Sunset Speedway Park on Saturday July 5th five support classes would compete also. The classes included the IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Pure Stocks, Dwarf Cars, and 4-Bee's at the "Banks Bullring".
The IMCA Modified main event was a thriller. Steve Suckow of Hillsboro would pace the field for much of the race in his Prime-X Contracting/Perfection Automotive,/James Gang Pizza/Sweere Trucking #37 T.R.E. Suckow would try to keep all challengers at bay but Doug Lockwood would obtain the lead by lap twenty-eight with just a few to go. Lockwood, of Aloha, would lead the rest of the distance to win his third main event of the season for his Aloha Station Tavern/Perfection Automotive/Ross Electric/Curtis Trailers #66 Shaw team.
Crossing the line in second would be the Tom's Performance/Dancin' Bare/Eric's Frame Shop #6X Dirt Works of Don Jenner out of Vancouver, Washington followed by Steve Suckow in third. Vancouver, Washington's Jerry Schram would place fourth in the Schram Brothers Excavating/Century III Stables #16 Hughes while fifth went to the Rauch Racing #X3 Victory of Chris Quinn, also from Vancouver, Washington, for car owner Erika Rauch.
Freya Smith of McMinnville would take care of business in the Street Stocks again on Saturday night. Nearly twenty-four hours after winning her first career Street Stock victory she would end up leading the entire distance of the twenty-five lap feature to go back-to-back wins for her and the Sweere's Auto Body/Sweere's Trucking/Tire Factory of McMinnville #37 Camaro team.
The Shattercrystal.com Game Codes/McCutcheon Fence/AFT Race Engines/Van Raden Industries #32 Camaro of Robert Summerhalder from Portland was the runner-up while going home third would be John Ireland out of Banks in his Ireland & Ireland at Law/Privateer Racing/Applebee Aviation #88 Monte Carlo. The rest of the top five would consist of Hillsboro native Earl Claypool Jr. in the Beaverton Machine Shop/Customs by RC/JNR Construction #3 Camaro in fourth and fifth the JNR Construction/Molecular Motion Inc./Dockweiler Stainless Steel Tube Systems #14 Camaro of West Linn driver Brian Roden.
In the Pure Stocks Trevor LaBarge of Forest Grove would take over the lead on lap ten in the main event. He would lead the rest of the distance to win his third race of the season in the division for him and his Pure Addiction Diesel Performance/S&R Motorz/Courtesy Auto Body #7 Camaro.
Yamhill's Terry Houck ended the night in second piloting his Luttrell's Trucking/Trask Mountain Outpost/Sweere's Trucking/Happy Hut #58 Camaro while Kendal Lee of Forest Grove would cross the line in third in his Kendall Lee Racing #66 Camaro. Bert Pegg from Vancouver, Washington was fourth in the Pegg Boys Racing/Kenton Station/Pfeifer's Mobile Concrete/Local Glaziers #17 Firebird while behind him in fifth would be Brush Prairie, Washington's Ken Schave in his Creekside Mortgage #05 Nova.
Despite the main event being cautioned plagued the Dwarf Cars would put on one heck of a show. Guy Tow Jr. from Castle Rock, Washington would obtain the lead on lap eleven and stay in front the rest of the way to win his first race at Sunset this year in his Two Guys Racing/Fusion Grahpix/Hicks Family Racing #37 Ebeling.
The Auto Truck Wholesale/Van Raden Industries/St. John's Tire Factory #9 M&M of Portland's Ryan Martinez was second followed by the PSP Powdercoating/Finish Line Technology/Shake and Bake Racing #8 M&M of Chris McCleary from St. Helens in third. Gaston native Corey Esteban was fourth in the Esteban Racing #36 and the MAPS Auto Center of Scappoose/FinishLine Technologies #2 Hot Rod of James Brinster from St. Helens was fifth.
2014 has been a remarkable year for Portland's John Gartner in the 4-Bee's. Gartner would put his Gartner Racing/Ram Light Truck/ACE Car Detailing/Foot Print Designs #48 Mitsubishi Eclipse to the front on lap sixteen and stayed there for the rest of the way to win his fourth main event of the year in the class.
Travis Koch of Vancouver, Washington would end the night in second in his North's Plumbing/Dusty's Automotive/Mac Tools #21 Dodge Neon while Jake Henry of North Plains in his Henry Racing/Joe's Autobody and Paint/Social Lies Pub and Grill #77 Toyota Celica was third. Troutdale's Crystal Flath, in her McCord Trucking/Outback Steakhouse/Sayre Racing & Customs #1 Dodge Neon, was fourth followed by the Van Raden Industries/Sweere's Auto Body/Rabourn Performance/Keevan Motorsports #5.0 machine of Mike Keely from Hillsboro in fifth.
Saturday July 12th Sunset Speedway Park will host the annual Jim's Thriftway Open Street Stock National 100 featuring the top Street Stock talent in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to the Street Stocks there will also be Pure Stocks, Dwarf Cars, and both classes of Micro Sprints.
Pit Gates will open at 2:00 PM, Front Gates open at 3:30, and racing starts at 6:00. Tickets are Adults $12.00, Seniors/Military/Juniors (13-17) $10.00, Youths (Ages 12-6) $5.00, and Children under the age of 5 are FREE and a Family Pass will be offered for two Adults and up to four Youths for just $35.00.

Dark fiscal days ahead
We've long argued that Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's decision to implement a tax-and-spend budget, and then assume it would be sustained by a recovering overall economy, epitomizes incompetence. With this in mind, in a recent letter to Gov. Malloy, state Comptroller Kevin Lembo projected that when the 2012-13 fiscal year ends June 30, Connecticut will have a $60.1 million deficit.
Mr. Lembo's figure is the same reported by Benjamin Barnes, secretary of the governor's Office of Policy and Management (OPM), last month and is a far cry from the surplus Gov. Malloy was bragging about a year ago. Mr. Lembo identified a key culprit in the state's fiscal woes, and in doing so, he, like Mr. Barnes, inadvertently highlighted the folly of the Malloy Method.

I have recently graduated college and had a fairly dramatic change of lifestyle.
Being that there is never enough time in the day, I used to go to great lengths to minimize my responsibilities and thus (theoretically) maximize the amount of free time I had. Part of this was due to naivety, and part of it was due to laziness.
In the last year or so, I have instead opted to create more time in each day by finding ways to increase my own productivity and spend less time doing unimportant things. I have used myriad sources to help me progress in this area, but perhaps the most beneficial of all of these things has been speaking with and learning from my new boss. He has offered invaluable advice for breaking bad habits and starting new ones, he has lent several books to me from his personal productivity library (a very impressive selection), including David Allen's Getting Things Done among others, and has in general inspired me with his desire to improve.
My question is this: How can I discuss the hurdles I am facing, the lack of progress I sometimes feel I have made, or simply my disappointment after a non-productive period with someone in this "supervisor" role?
I sometimes feel like I am unable to speak freely about my own difficulties with this process because of who I am talking to, and I am concerned I may be wasting some golden opportunities to progress.

I just wrote an app for Chrome extensions and received a request to make it cross-StackExchange compatible. If there's eventually going to be more sites than just the few listed and I don't really know what they'll be called other than by checking here every so often to see what is supported, how do I future-proof my app to work with every SE site? Or am I doomed to hardcode everything?
http://stackauth.com/1.0/sites will get you information about all the sites.
I wrote a Chrome extension myself (details here) that works against all of the Stack sites, and an approach that I found pretty useful was to maintain a simple javascript object that stores anything about the sites that I may need to access. Here's the snippet I'm currently using:
Extending this to include future StackExchange sites or even user submitted sites would be pretty trivial with a helper method.
I'm personally choosing which API I'm using by investigating the URL of the page the user is visiting, but if the user is selecting which sites to use or activate, including a simple boolean flag with the site structure would suffice.
I think it varies by application, and I'm not sure how you'd want to do it for yours, but for many it'd probably be sufficient to allow the user to add a site in the "stackoverflow.com" format, from which you can derive the API URL.

Bennington's seven-week, off-campus winter term called Field Work Term, was highlighted this week in the Sunday, January 6, 2008 The New York Times Education Life article "Five Colleges Where Work Counts."
Field Work Term has been an integral part of a Bennington education since 1932. Each year, in January and February all Bennington students take their interests to the world beyond Bennington, where they pursue jobs and internships in areas that complement their studies—in fields ranging from publishing to politics, from arts administration to teaching, from medical research to social work.
In addition to Bennington, the Times includes four other institutions that have added a work component to their curriculum. The Times cites that connecting course work with field work is a growing trend with "more than 125 institutions requiring a dip into the workforce…" and "at least a dozen mandating it for every full-time graduate."

Top of the Heap
Professor George A. Bermann and a host of recent graduates work to further enhance Columbia Law School's tradition of excellence and achievement in the field of international arbitration
During a recent meeting in his seventh-floor office at Columbia Law School, Professor George A. Bermann '75 LL.M. reaches for and then holds up a yellow paperback volume. It is a draft chapter of the massive Restatement of the U.S. Law of International Commercial Arbitration that he has been hard at work on for years. Bermann opens to a random page, reads a line of black letter law, and then excitedly explains the analysis that follows. Like a Talmudic scholar dissecting a text, he takes apart the law of international arbitration, and then agilely puts it back together again—asking questions that at first blush may seem arcane, but that get at the heart of the controversies and questions arising in this increasingly important field.
"People are energized by this," says Bermann, who has been teaching at Columbia Law School since 1975. "The Restatement encompasses all the conflicts of law questions."
With respect to any area of international law, conflicts of law questions loom large, he says, but in the field of international arbitration—where a company in the Netherlands may have a dispute with a company in Brazil that is heard by a tribunal in Singapore—such questions form the core of the practice. Bermann adds that the arbitration process, which is generally speedier, less costly, and more flexible than litigation, offers advantages that are even more pronounced in the international realm, where both sides get to pick judges for the hearing and neither is forced to appear before a foreign national court. It offers an elegant, efficient venue for dispute resolution, and as the Jean Monnet Professor of EU Law and Walter Gellhorn Professor of Law, Bermann is the latest in a long line of Law School scholars to reside at the forefront of the discipline.
Columbia pioneered the study of international law even before Columbia Law School's founding in 1858, and the Law School led the way in the earliest days of international arbitration, which developed as a way for parties from different nations to resolve their disputes without going to court. Henry deVries, a Law School professor until his death in 1986, penned the first law review article on international arbitration in 1982. The Parker School of Foreign and Comparative Law, established in 1931 by the will of Judge Edwin B. Parker for studies of international commerce and U.S. foreign relations, became a focal point for international arbitration scholarship under the leadership of professors Willis L.M. Reese (who passed away in 1990 at the age of 77) and, especially, Hans Smit '58 LL.B. (who passed away in January at the age of 84).
Smit, a towering figure in international arbitration who had taught at Columbia Law School since 1960, founded the field's first U.S.-based scholarly journal, The American Review of International Arbitration. Students fondly remember the tall Dutchman for regaling them with stories from the front lines of arbitration. United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg '59 counted Smit as an important mentor while she was a Columbia Law School student and during the time she served as the school's first female tenure-track professor. "Like Odysseus," Ginsburg recalled at Smit's recent memorial, "he was a man never at a loss."
Bermann credits both Smit and deVries with sparking his own interest in international arbitration. When Bermann arrived at the Law School more than 30 years ago, his focus was the law of the European Union—he is also director of the school's European Legal Studies Center—but he soon realized the importance of this increasingly relevant field. "International arbitration became the place for a lot of comparative law activity," Bermann recalls. "Being a colleague of Henry deVries and Hans Smit encouraged that, and being at Columbia is being at the heartbeat of arbitration in the U.S."
Between them, Smit and Bermann have trained hundreds of arbitration attorneys whose practices now span the globe. And those practitioners are in higher demand than ever. The big macroeconomic trends of the past decades—increased globalization, more transborder contracts, the advanced complexity of disputes when things do go wrong—have led to a boom in international arbitration. In 2011, the International Chamber of Commerce's International Court of Arbitration, one of the field's leading bodies, received 796 hearing requests and issued 508 arbitral awards, up from 521 requests and 325 awards in 2005.
"The big picture is that, for a variety of reasons, international arbitration has grown dramatically over the years as an alternative to national court litigation," says Bermann, noting that the field encompasses both investment arbitrations, such as disputes between big oil companies and the countries where they operate, and commercial arbitrations, which involve contract disputes between companies located in different countries.
When Global Arbitration Review, the field's leading publication, named its list of the top "45 under 45" international arbitration practitioners, five Columbia Law School graduates—Julie Bédard '01 LL.M., '06 J.S.D.; Sébastien Besson '00 LL.M.; Cristian Conejero Roos '03 LL.M.; Ank Santens '99 LL.M.; and Gaëtan Verhoosel '00 LL.M., '01 J.S.D.—made the cut. In a field that attracts multilingual global citizens, these five fit right in. They represent five nationalities (Belgian, Canadian, Chilean, French, and Swiss), live in four different countries (Spain, Switzerland, the U.S., and the U.K.), and practice in six languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch). "They are the top of the heap," Bermann says. "These are the stars."
In detailing their reasons for pursuing international arbitration careers, Columbia Law School's representatives on the "45 under 45" list provide answers marked by a level of variety that one would expect from such a diverse group. But amid tales of inspirational professors and dissertations on international legal conflicts, one thing seems to come up again and again. International arbitration, they say, presents practitioners with a seemingly endless array of interesting cases and clients. Just about any type of dispute that might have been resolved in court can find its way to an arbitration hearing—disagreements over payments in cross-border acquisitions, disputes over trade subsidies, squabbles over exclusive marketing agreements, decisions regarding rules for the election of the president of the World Chess Federation, and everything in between. "It just never gets boring, because every case is a different story and involves different cultures, different industries, and different casts of characters," says Gaëtan Verhoosel, a partner at Covington & Burling in London and a co-chair of the firm's international arbitration practice.
Verhoosel, a native of Belgium, started his arbitration career at the legal office of the World Trade Organization (WTO) after writing his doctoral thesis at Columbia Law School on WTO dispute resolution. Two years later, seeking a broader diversity of cases, he joined a New York City law firm. Today, his practice spans commercial and investment arbitrations, with cases ranging from insurance disputes involving oil refiners in the Baltics to investment arbitrations involving countries from Latin America to Asia.
Julie Bédard, a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in New York City, echoes Verhoosel's sentiments regarding the diversity of experiences and opportunities that exist for international arbitration practitioners. She also highly values the intellectual challenges involved in working with companies in Latin America, where much of her practice is focused. "This work allows me to live a passion," says Bédard, who considered becoming an academic before joining Skadden. "The international litigation and arbitration cases are exciting. I was lucky that they turned out to be as much fun as I thought they would be."
Bédard—a French Canadian who works in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese—notes that the commercial arbitration matters she handles tend to stay more private and lower in public profile than comparable litigation or investment treaty arbitration, but that does not mean there is less on the line. Commercial arbitration disputes can be extremely layered and involve large sums of money. Construction arbitrations, for example, typically involve giant industrial endeavors, such as power plants or chemical factories, and usually necessitate the inclusion of governmental entities.
"The first time I worked on a construction case, it was like I was listening to Mandarin," says Cristian Conejero Roos, a partner in the Madrid office of Cuatrecasas, Gonçalves Pereira. "These cases are very much driven by how the industry behaves. The rule of law plays a secondary role to what is customary in the industry."
The involvement of governments in arbitration matters sometimes raises the stakes. Ank Santens, a partner at White & Case in New York City, currently represents the government of a European state in a post-privatization dispute involving a company of major strategic importance to the country. "The buyer sold the company, and the privatization agreement said that the country would get 10 percent of the profit on an on-sale," Santens says. "But the buyer claims that nothing is owed." On the table: $80 million the country is demanding under the agreement.
"It's not uncommon for these cases to go on for several years, particularly when the financial stakes are high," says Verhoosel, a veteran of numerous investment arbitrations with governments. "These are invariably fascinating cases because they often have a political dimension." That "political dimension," it should be noted, is not always a positive.
Conejero Roos points to a recent arbitration in which his client was involved in a dispute with a state entity in an Arab country. There were complications, and delays, and lots of fiddling with procedural issues, he says. "The case was in French, and they presented pleadings in Arabic," Conejero Roos adds with a sigh. "It shows the things you may encounter when a state party does not want to take part in the arbitration."
Of course, it's not uncommon for Law School graduates practicing international arbitration to have to deal with such tactics and procedural parlor games from another perspective. Santens and Sébastien Besson, a partner at Python & Peter in Geneva, for instance, work both as counsel and as arbitrators. "They are completely different jobs, but very complementary," Besson says, "because as an arbitrator you realize what has influenced your decision, and that allows you to be a better counsel." He adds that although arbitration flourishes in good and bad economic climates, the types of cases arising over time and in different regions change. As the debt crisis has gripped Europe, for example, new disputes have surfaced about lack of payment, lack of delivery, and a variety of issues related to cost cutting, along with concerns about whether awards will be enforceable. Meanwhile, in places such as Asia and South America, where some economies are booming, arbitrations are becoming even more common and are providing new opportunities for attorneys.
Back at Columbia Law School, increasing numbers of students are showing interest in arbitration work. "Course enrollments have skyrocketed," George Bermann says, proudly adding that Law School students make up one of the largest student arbitration groups in the country, the Columbia International Arbitration Association, which hosts the annual Columbia Arbitration Day. And each year, Law School students compete in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Court.
Bermann, meanwhile, remains hard at work on his magnum opus: the Restatement of the U.S. Law of International Commercial Arbitration. It is a massive undertaking that is now about halfway finished and will be done in a few years. When the publication is complete, the Restatement will be an authoritative guide to U.S. courts on the law of international commercial arbitration, while also providing an invaluable road map for practitioners. While plowing forward on the volumes, Bermann has maintained a steady focus on ensuring that Columbia Law School continues to enhance its lofty reputation as the world leader when it comes to international arbitration scholarship and teaching. "We're about to launch an international arbitration center at the Law School," he says. Bermann speaks in superlatives about the benefits of such a center—for students, faculty, visiting scholars, and practitioners generally. He loves nothing more than continuing to build upon the contributions of Hans Smit, Henry deVries, and others who came before him. "The new center," he says with a smile, "will provide an institutional home for arbitration at Columbia."

VTS Announces Publication of "Varieties of Personal Theology" by the Rev. David Gortner
Media Contact: Curtis Prather
Tel: 703-461-1782
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Alexandria, VA – Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) announced today the release of
Varieties of Personal Theology: Charting the Beliefs and Values of American Young Adults
(Ashgate Publishing, 2013) by the Rev. David T. Gortner, Ph.D., Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program and Professor of Evangelism and Congregational Leadership.
"It is a major and substantial study into the folk theologies of emerging adults (ages 18-25)," said the Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary. "It is an extraordinary achievement that will be a major agenda setting book for the discipline of practical theology."
A masterful combination of interviews with young adults about a range of metaphysical questions combined with the best in social science analysis, Gortner's book starts from the premise that all human beings are folk theologians, active not only in constructing selves but also in constructing worlds and guiding philosophies of life. Crossing boundaries between religious and social science fields,
Varieties of Personal Theology
intentionally combines perspectives from both to demonstrate how theological diversity persists in America despite some clear culturally dominant trends.
"Gortner brings not only his expertise as a social scientist to his research, but his compassion and sensitivity as a priest and theologian," reviewed Stephen Bevans, S.V.D., Catholic Theological Union. "By the end of the book the young adults interviewed have come alive in your imagination. This is a must read for youth ministers and others who work with young adults, especially in this time of 'new evangelization'."
Gortner joined the Virginia Seminary faculty in 2008 as Director of the Doctor of Ministry programs and Professor of Evangelism and Congregational Leadership. Prior to VTS he served as professor of pastoral theology at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary and Church Divinity School of the Pacific. He is the author of T
ransforming Evangelism
(Church Publishing 2007),
Around One Table
(CREDO Institute, 2009: web publication), and a series of articles on clergy leadership development.
Founded in 1823, Virginia Theological Seminary is the largest of the 11 accredited seminaries of the Episcopal Church. The school prepares men and women for service in the Church worldwide, both as ordained and lay ministers, and offers a number of professional degree programs and diplomas. Currently, the Seminary represents more than 42 different dioceses and 5 different countries, in service of the Church.

I wonder about the following statement:
Unit ball closed in a NLS iff the space is finite.
Is this statement true? How would I go about proving this? I don't want to use that every norm in a finite dimensional NLS is equivalent because I am using the previous result to prove the later.

"Sometimes you get caught up in that and you don't realize how you're becoming a part of the cycle even though you may not be that active bully," said Kentucky Dept. of Education Director of Student Success Toyah Robey.
This week at Bowling Green High School was about being bigger than bullying, and that being a bully doesn't make you a better person.
"If they were the bigger person, they wouldn't be bullying in the first place," said BGHS student Blerta Edemi.
The forum host discovered students don't even realize when they are bullying sometimes, so they saw this discussion as a way to reach out.
"Students didn't necessarily think gossip was bullying, or that talking about someone in the hallway was bullying, so we wanted to find a way to bring students together to talk about bullying issues," said Creative Kentucky's Drew Mitchell.
One panel member said sometimes it's silence or laughing in support of a bully that can be just as harmful.
"Sometimes you get caught up in that and you don't realize how you're becoming a part of the cycle even though you may not be that active bully," said Kentucky Dept. of Education Director of Student Success Toyah Robey.
Even the law takes a stand on bullying in schools, and the consequences are real, even for minors.
"It could be anything from community service, to time in the juvenile detention center, to really the limits of the judges imagination," said BGPD Captain Brian Harrell.
One student reminds us legal consequences aren't the only ones, it's the mark you leave on a person that you will have to live with forever.
"Maybe if they got bullied and they knew how it felt, they wouldn't bully as much," said BGHS student Kyle Popelier.
That's a feeling the panel says no one should have to feel, especially at school.
Today's forum wrapped up a week's worth of activities with Creative Kentucky to promote anti-bullying efforts in the school. It followed other events like a parent forum, and the painting of an anti-bullying mural that was unveiled during today's forum.
The panel of speakers included the Kentucky Department of Education Director of Division of Student Success Toyah Robey, Bowling Green Police Captain Brian Harrell, BGHS Guidance Counselor Leah Krisher, and SkyPAC Youth Educator Brandon Bradshaw. Each had a message for the students, whether it be bullying's effects on others, the consequences, or how they could help those being bullied.

Given an operator $f\colon R^m\to R^n$, can one always find a non-zero vector $x\in \{ 0,1 \}^m$ such that $\|f(x)\|/\|x\|\ge0.01\|f\|$? (Here I denote by $\|\cdot\|$ both the Euclidean norms in $R^m$ and $R^n$ and the induced operator norm.) The answer may well be negative -- any examples?
In case the answer to the question above is ``no'' (or unknown), would it help to assume that the matrix of $f$ with respect to the standard orthonormal bases of $R^m$ and $R^n$ has all its elements equal to $0$ or $1$?
As I see it, this is basically a question in the geometry of numbers, and I would expect the answer should be known.

Cluster algebras: an introduction
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Cluster algebras are commutative rings with a set of distinguished generators having a remarkable combinatorial structure. They were introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky in 2000 in the context of Lie theory, but have since appeared in many other contexts, from Poisson geometry to triangulations of surfaces and Teichmüller theory. In this expository paper we give an introduction to cluster algebras, and illustrate how this framework naturally arises in Teichmüller theory. We then sketch how the theory of cluster algebras led to a proof of the Zamolodchikov periodicity conjecture in mathematical physics.

Why did the creators of the game Pandemic decide that the starting position for each game would be Atlanta rather than any of the other possible cities on the board?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Because Atlanta is the home of the CDC. And since we all live in America they are responsible for diseases everywhere...
EDIT: I just checked the English and German rules and now understand your confusion. The German rules explicitly say that this is why players start in Atlanta. For some reason the English rules skip that part.
Which roughly translates to:
Atlanta is US headquarters for disease control.
I don't see any gameplay related reason as to why the game would not function equally well by moving the starting position to any other city of your choosing.
As an aside, note that Essen is a map location. It's a fairly minor German city of around 500.000 inhabitants, but included in many games because of its relation to The Spiel fair (the world's largest board game trade show)

I shall be visiting the island of Malta this summer for two weeks. Whenever I visit a country, I don't just want to lie on the beach or sit by the pool everyday, but wish to get out & about to see the country & its people.
I plan on visiting the capital Valletta & have been told the Blue Lagoon on the island of Comino is worth a visit. As I shall be staying in the north of the island, close to the ferry terminal, I also plan to visit the island of Gozo. If anyone has experience of Malta & its islands (which I am aware is very popular with British & Italian tourists, amongst other Europeans), further guidance with regards to churches, museums, palaces, town & villages with historical context (if any) that maybe visited either in the Capital or rest of the island(s) would be much appreciated ?
(I know that Malta in particular its sister island of Gozo is famous for deep sea diving, I won't be partaking in that)

I'm planning to do a Barbeque at the end of the month and I'd like to serve a variety of different 'Greek' style kebabs. I'm not looking for recipies, but what is the essence of creating grilled / barbeque food that tastes Greek. Whenever I have kebabs in Greece or in a Greek restaurant they taste different to kebabs I have had elsewhere but it's really difficult to tell what the difference is. One issue I think that might be important is the particualr mix of aromatic herbs such as Greek Basil. Does anyone else have any ideas what I can do?
The primary flavors of Greek meats are lemon, oregano, and olive oil. Typically either (or both) thyme and mint are present as well. I'd start with the following base for a marinade:
I'd also suggest adding some garlic and onion to this. Maybe 1/2 an onion and 4 cloves of garlic. Adding a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of red wine could add some depth as well (I'm assuming lamb or steak, use white for pork or chicken).
A good soak in this overnight, perhaps with some tweaks, should equate to Greek kebabs.
Other herbs & spices common in Greek cuisine include: marjoram, paprika (sweet & hot), and pepper. You can also find, in small quantities: cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, anise, coriander, fennel, and allspice.
In Greece, traditionally, they used Chicken or Goat as a white meat and lamb as a dark meat.
As for a marinade, try, Olive Oil, minced Garlic, fresh Tarragon and Oregano. I especially like this on Chicken.
Alternatively, try a Tarragon, Garlic and Yoghurt marinade. This is good on Goat or Lamb as the Yoghurt also acts as a tenderizer.
Leave it in the marinade for at least a couple of hours or preferably over night. Salt after you remove from the marinade.

Obama Shortens Asia Trip Due to Government Shutdown
White House Can't Get Personnel in Place to Handle President's Visits to Malaysia, Philippines
The partial shutdown of the U.S. government is already taking a toll on one of President Barack Obama's top foreign policy priorities: strengthening America's ties with the fast-growing economies of Asia.
The White House said on Wednesday that it had canceled Mr. Obama's visits next week to Malaysia and the Philippines. The administration is still assessing the president's plans to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting on Monday and Tuesday in Indonesia and another regional summit in Brunei after Congress failed to agree on funding the government in the new fiscal year, which began Tuesday.
Foreign policy analysts say that curtailing the trip to Asia could prove a serious embarrassment for the Obama administration. The president has put Asia at the center of U.S. foreign policy in his second term, hoping build economic and diplomatic ties in the fastest-growing part of the world economy after a decade focused on the Middle East and Afghanistan. U.S. government officials have spoken repeatedly about the importance of the region and the U.S.'s role there, often pointing to how Washington's engagement in the region after the end of World War II helped usher in a period of breathtaking economic growth.
"If the president does make it to the APEC and East Asia summit meetings, people will still know he's damaged goods in that he'll be severely distracted," said Carlyle Thayer, emeritus professor at the Australian Defence Force Academy and an expert on geopolitical balance in the region. "If he doesn't show up, well, the implications are terrific. The current situation in the United States has created a disaster for U.S. foreign policy in the Asia-Pacific region. And you can be sure that China will be there, making hay."
Indeed, Chinese President Xi Jinping was in Jakarta on Wednesday, meeting Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in an effort to boost trade and investment. The countries agreed on a currency swap agreement worth $15 billion for three years that could support Indonesia's rupiah, which has suffered in the recent emerging markets crisis, while companies are expected to sign 23 investment agreements Thursday covering mineral refining, telecommunications, railway and housing projects.
Domestic problems have disrupted Mr. Obama's plans to match China's growing influence the region before. In 2010, he twice postponed visits to Indonesia and Australia, to help push through health-care legislation and then again to manage the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, before eventually visiting the region later in the year.
The following year, the White House launched a broad-reaching rebalancing, or pivot, of its policy to Asia, and in 2012 Mr. Obama visited Thailand, Cambodia, and notably Myanmar, where China's economic clout began to dwindle after Washington encouraged the former military-run state to accelerate political and economic reforms.
Much of Washington's momentum is now placed in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed free trade zone spanning the U.S. and 11 other Asia and Pacific countries, including Japan, Australia, and Malaysia, although not China, which is aiming to expand another free-trade pact in Asia. Mr. Obama aims to conclude negotiations on the pact by the end of the year, with U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman describing it as a top priority during a visit to Japan in August.
Still, some Asian diplomats previously expressed their concern privately that the Obama administration began to lose its focus on Asia after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stepped down last year. Ms. Clinton traveled frequently to the region, and was to many policy-makers here the face of the U.S. "pivot." Her successor, John Kerry, has spent much of his time working on issues in the Middle East, especially in reviving talks between Israel and Palestine and more recently the Russian-opened opportunity to get Syria to give up chemical weapons.
U.S. officials worry that if the government shutdown forces Mr. Obama to abandon his Asian trip entirely, then it risks reinforcing the impression that Washington isn't as committed to the region as it claims.
"It does have an effect on our relationships around the world and it cuts straight to the obvious question: Can you rely on the United States as a reliable partner to fulfill its commitment to its allies?" Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in South Korea earlier this week. "It does cast a very significant pall over America's credibility with our allies when this kind of thing happens."
So far, there is little sign of a public backlash against the Obama administration's moves to cancel the visits to Malaysia and the Philippines. Government officials and local analysts said the stalemate in Congress that led to partial shutdown of government is well understood, while the White House said Mr. Obama plans to visit the countries at a later date. Mr. Kerry, the secretary of state, will visit those nations in his place for now.
"It just shows the depth of the crisis, of the shutdown, that President Obama has to attend to it," said Ramon Casiple, a political analyst and executive director for a Manila-based think-tank, Political and Electoral Reform in the Philippines.
The White House said that it couldn't get personnel in place to handle the visits to Malaysia and the Philippines, which came at the end of a four-nation swing. It cited the shutdown that has forced agencies to furlough hundreds of thousands of federal workers.
"Logistically, it was not possible to go ahead with these trips in the face of a government shutdown," said Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council. She said the "completely avoidable shutdown is setting back our ability to promote U.S. exports and advance U.S. leadership in the largest emerging region in the world."
And some observers said that if Mr. Obama does in fact make it to the APEC and East Asia Summit meetings in Indonesia and Brunei, it could make a strong impression on his Asian trading partners.
"If the White House can hold on to President Obama's trip to Indonesia for APEC and Brunei for the EAS," Ernie Bower at the Center for Strategic International Studies in Washington noted, then the U.S.'s "strong commitment is underlined."
Obama skipped the APEC summit in Vladivostok last year amid-the hard-fought U.S. election campaign. But missing it this time might delay striking the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal into 2014 or beyond, said Edmund Sim, partner at Appleton Luff International Lawyers and an expert on trade law. Ministers also hope the APEC meeting can come up with a Pacific Rim consensus that would advance the stalled Doha round of the World Trade Organization.
"Here, the president's absence would be an ominous sign that the United States is not prepared to get the TPP, let alone a WTO agreement, though Congress,'' Mr. Sim said.
