Algorithm 785: a software package for computing Schwarz-Christoffel conformal transformation for doubly connected polygonal regions
Conformal map
In mathematics, a conformal map is a function which preserves angles. In the most common case the function is between domains in the complex plane. More formally, a map, is called conformal (or angle-preserving) at if it preserves oriented angles between curves through with respect to their orientation (i.e. , not just the acute angle). Conformal maps preserve both angles and the shapes of infinitesimally small figures, but not necessarily their size.

Simply connected space
In topology, a topological space is called simply connected (or 1-connected) if it is path-connected and every path between two points can be continuously transformed, staying within the space, into any other path while preserving the two endpoints in question. If a space is not simply connected, it is convenient to measure the extent to which it fails to be simply connected; this is done by the fundamental group.
more from Wikipedia
In geometry a polygon is a flat shape consisting of straight lines that are joined to form a closed chain or circuit. A polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a closed path, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments (i.e. , by a closed polygonal chain). These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices or corners. An n-gon is a polygon with n sides.
more from Wikipedia
Inverse function
In mathematics, an inverse function is a function that undoes another function: If an input x into the function ¿ produces an output y, then putting y into the inverse function g produces the output x, and vice versa. i.e. , ¿(x)=y, and g(y)=x. More directly, g(¿)=x, meaning g(x) composed with ¿(x) leaves x unchanged.

Map (mathematics)
In most of mathematics and in some related technical fields, the term mapping, usually shortened to map, is either a synonym for function, or denotes a particular kind of function which is important in that branch, or denotes something conceptually similar to a function. In graph theory, a map is a drawing of a graph on a surface without overlapping edges, similar to a political map.

Cutting back. Changing times. WBCCI Amateur Radio Service Nets
It's a sign of the times. AJ4UX says the WBCCI sponsored 20-meter International RV Service Nets [are] Discontinued.
When WBCCI was created in the 1950's, the primary need for amateur radio was for communications for caravans which roamed far and wide across North America and into the rest of the world.
Because we have been unable to recruit volunteers to manage these two nets, the low participation primarily due to poor propagation, and the replacement by an extensive network of mobile telephone service over North America, the officers decided to discontinue sponsorship of the two 20-meter nets.
The other three nets, all operating on 40 meters, are healthy and have a full complement of net managers and net control stations. These nets, spanning the lower 48 states and into all Canadian provinces, continue to provide excellent contact among net members for social, technical and communications purposes.
The 40 and 20 meter bands are popular for mobile operations. 40 offers regional propagation characteristics most of the time while 20 is better for DX or distance contacts. For local communications, the 2 meter amateur band, often with repeaters, and the CB radio service were used. CB does not require any testing or paperwork for a transmit license so it was very common for in-site rally news and communications. 2 meter with repeaters did require some paperwork and a technical and regulatory test for a ham license but it worked well for metropolitan area coverage.
Cell phones now cover most of these communications needs for sitewide, metropolitan, regional, and national coverage. In addition to voice, they also provide SMS for short text messages and I'net access for information sites and discussion forums. As the cell network has built out and the technology has become more prevalent, the need for CB and ham radio communications has dropped. CB is now nearly just a vestige and ham radio moving more towards the hobbyist aspects with the Preppers coming in because they see it as a doomsday backup.
There is more here, though. "unable to recruit volunteers" and "low participation" bespeak of change. This change is related to the recent 'rogue Trustee' brouhaha in the WBCCI. It is about the Annual WBCCI rally being an order of magnitude smaller than in its heyday – despite Airstream cranking out trailers as fast as it can and despite the iconic nature of the brand and its vintage attractions. The need for in-person meetings to make decisions and printed matter distributed by the post office to communicate and inform and the disappearance of special costs and fees for long distance telecommunications, are technological advances that have diminished the need for the traditional local club operating in the traditional manner with a newsletter and a monthly gathering to decide what to do and how to do it. There are also social changes that divide personal loyalties and provide alternative means for satisfying social needs that diminish the need for the traditional local club.
For each of us, these changes provide more options for us to express ourselves and find satisfaction and meaning in life. For traditional groups, it means finding ways to adapt to a membership that is not so bound to the group. This is not going to be easy. It will be exploring many new ideas. It means tripping and stumbling and growing and exploring. Errors will be made. Ideas will die. But some ideas will surface and flower. People will get angry and do harmful things. Our mettle will be tested.

text: Was Tila Tequila Attacked with Feces by Raging Juggalos? (Yes. Updated)Jeff Neumann8/14/10 5:04pmFiled to: fameballsJuggalosinsane clown posseICPtila tequilaVideoRapMusicGathering of the JuggalosWhite PeopleTop3362EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink People outside of the Midwest may not know what a Juggalo is. Trust us, they are amazing creatures. But was microcelebrity Tila Tequila really attacked at the Gathering of the Juggalos in Illinois with piss, shit and bricks last night?TMZ spoke with Tila, who offered this account of what happened last night at the 11th annual Gathering of the Juggalos in Cave In Rock, Illinois where she was supposed to "perform": I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, DUDES were throwing HUGE STONE ROCKS in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw fire crackers on stage, and they even took the sh*t out of the port-0-potty and threw sh*t and piss at me when I was onstage." Okay, that's disgusting. So far it's difficult to confirm whether the attack really happened, and Tila has been known to make things up in the past. But one Juggalo had this to say: Advertisement Juggalos are the die hard followers of Michigan "rap" group Insane Clown Posse, and the Gathering of the Juggalos is their yearly blowout party. The blog Tila's Rotspot writes that Juggalos were anticipating Tila's "performance" and planned to greet her with shit and piss. TMZ has photos, provided by Tila, that show her bloody and bruised. But still, who knows? For one thing, it's hard to imagine that making up a story about being covered in shit and piss by people in clown makeup would really advance your career. Then again, we're talking about Tila Tequila here. We'll update this important story as more information becomes available. Update: Video has surfaced!

New York City is abuzz year-round, meaning the best time to go on a New York City vacation is up to you. If weather is a factor, winters are cold – but it's the best time to see the famous Christmas tree lighting and ice skate in Rockefeller Center. New Years Eve in Times Square is infamous, so plan well in advance if you plan to brave the celebration.
Fall is spectacular, especially near Central Park when colors and cutting-edge fashions peak. Summers are hot and crowded, especially during Yankees and Mets games. But if cheap rates and fewer crowds are a priority, visit between January (after New Year) and early April.
Write this down: Pass the Mercer hotel, look for a little entryway marked 147 ½. Take the industrial elevator down to the basement. Pass several boxes, and step through the unmarked red door into a series of 3 brick rooms. Try to get a seat in the back – maybe even next to Gisele Bundchen, Marisa Tomei or Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Lower East Side Business Improvement District offers free tours through Manhattan's historic Lower East Side. Meet in front of Katz's Deli (corner of East Houston and Ludlow Street) at 11 a.m. on any Sunday from April to November.
Shop like a real New Yorker at this funky Chinese market. You'll find everything from silk robes and gongs to hand-painted China dolls and Kung-Fu shoes.
This Gotham hangout is so hip they don't have a phone, and only take reservations in person two days in advance. A favorite of Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert DeNiro, make sure to get a table in the main dining room … not in the glass conservatory dubbed "Siberia."
This uptown beauty is a real gem on the northern tip of Manhattan, plus it's included with admission to The Met. See medieval European works dating back to the 9th century, and stunning views of the Hudson River in the gardens.

Product Description
2009 release from the Swedish trio. There was always going to be chatter as to how Peter Bjorn and John would follow up their album Writer's Block, a true pop phenomenon. Would they try to replicate their earlier success? Or go out of their way to release a willfully difficult new album? In actual fact, what they have done is a bit of both - and neither--all at the same time. Bolstered by the band's production, the first taster of the album, 'Lay it Down', was a delightfully off-kilter riposte, a jaunty flying-V in the faces of people who thought they'd had the band all figured out, with a harsh, treated vocal lifelessly intoning the threatening refrain before abruptly giving way to an anthemic, full-bodied singalong. The rest of the album walks a similar tightrope of melody and mayhem. Living Thing pulses with life, it is bursting at the seams with energy and vitality, and shot through with warmth and excitement and wonder.

Peter Bjorn & John sprang seemingly out of nowhere on US airwaves in Spring, 2007 with their infectious single "Young Folks", which quickly became "the" song of that season, I mean, who can ever forget the whistling chorus? The album "Writer's Block" quickly became a massive indie-hit with further poppy songs like "Amsterdam", "Let's Call It Off" and "Up Against the Wall". That album was actually released in June, 2006, and now, after a 2008 instrumental album detour ("Seaside Rock"), almost three year later comes the much anticipated proper follow-up album.
"Living Thing" (12 tracks; 47 min.) is a very, VERY different affair compared to "Writer's Block". The album can easily be divided into the old vinyl Side A and B. Side A (the first 6 tracks) represents PB&J as you have come to like and love them from "Writer's Block": the opener "The Feeling" feels like it wants to explode on you, but doesn't. "It Don't Move Me" is one of those irresitable tracks that makes you wanna just get up and dance. First single "Nothing to Worry About" is the most accessible song on here, and I myself keep playing it over and over again, call it the "Young Folks" of this album (not sure how they'll recreate this in concert without the children's chorus singing). The title track concludes Side A and is the last upbeat and hummable song of the album, just great. Then comes the B Side of the album (the last 6 tracks), in which the band takes a much darker approach, not much melody to speak of, but for "I Want You". Just moody tunes, really. Hard to pick out any highlights there, really.
In all, "Living Thing" is a departure from "Writer's Bock", for sure. I keep playing the first 6 tracks, and ignoring the last 6. I've seen PB&J in concert a number of times in the last couple of years, and they've always put on a great show. I'll be seeing them again at Coachella in a couple of weeks, and I can't wait how they'll translate the songs from this album in a live setting.
Those looking for more songs like "Young folks" (with its maddeningly addictive whistle) from their superb 2006 album "Writers block" may be sorely disappointed, but what one gets here grows the more you listen. Simple but catchy songs.
"Just the past" is a gently throbbing slice of dreamy Pop. Lead-off single "Nothing to worry about" marries a menacing sounding children's chorus to clap-filled beats to great effect.
Other standouts are the haunting finger-snap filled "Stay this way", "Blue period picasso" (the first song I'm sure done from the point of view of a Picasso painting desperate to escape the walls of a gallery), "Lay it down" ("Hey, shut the f**k off" goes the chorus), and the superb droning melancholic-sounding "Last night" (my favourite).
This is one for everyone, not just the young folks.
Gone are the hooks and melodies I had come to expect from PB & J. Guitars are almost nowhere to be found on this album. In their place are lots of new (not necessarily good) noises, mainly drum beats and samples.
Also new with this album are some particularly lazy and uninspiring lyrics.
From "Lay it Down":
"Hey, shut the f*** up boy/You are starting to piss me off/Take your hands off that girl/You have already had enough"
Maybe they were trying to differentiate themselves from other Swedish Pop bands with this new direction. They certainly have done that, but nothing good comes of it. Living Thing in its best moments is forgettable and boring; Its worst moments are strident and irritating.
I don't think I can even recommend this album to diehard PB & J fans. Anyone who enjoyed Falling Out or Writer's Block is almost certain to be disappointed with this effort.

A new study says balls of tar from last year's BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are not breaking down as fast as officials had expected.Auburn University researchers say oil samples that washed up on the beach after Tropical Storm Lee earlier this month appeared very similar to fresh oil deposits taken from the beach more than a year ago.They say their data contradicts the widely held belief that submerged oil, which gushed for nearly three months from a hole in sea floor drilled in the BP-operated Macondo Prospect, has "substantially" broken down.BP has not commented on the new study. The company was out cleaning the beaches earlier this month after Tropical Storm Lee washed up remnants of the April 2010 spill.The 85-day underwater leak that spewed nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico is the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

First night without Sid
Updated: January 20, 2008, 12:31 PM ETBy John Pereira, special to ESPN.com
The Pittsburgh Penguins showed they can win without Sidney Crosby in their lineup. With Crosby sitting in a luxury suite suffering from a high ankle sprain, Geoff Taffe and Evgeni Malkin gave the Pens all the offense they needed on the night. Each scored a goal and Pittsburgh got another outstanding effort in net, this time from Dany Sabourin. Sabourin made 31 saves to pick up the shutout in the 2-0 win, making his first start since December 21st to spell the red hot Ty Conklin. A bit of more ...

New Your Demise song/video
The vocalist is gay.
Edit: (Vocalists)
They've really gone downhill. I miss the sound they had on Blood Stays On The Blade/Ignorance Never Dies. Those were
awesome releases. I was hoping they'd return to form after TKWUTB, but clearly that isn't happening.
Ignorance Never Dies has some amazing tracks but if their vocalist now is shit, I probably won't check out their new stuff
Digging: Avelino - F.Y.O
Yeah, ever sense George left, they're not even worth listening to.
been listening to TF a lot in the past couple of days
Man what happened to this band
what is this Our Last Night faux pas?
It's energetic and fun, just has no replay value.
ok I've listened to it now. It isn't bad, but the heavier parts just sound like a watered down version of their Ignorance Never Dies era and the clean vocals are unnecessary
Eh it's okay at best kinda catchy but nothing special at all
Probably won't listen to this, it's all been shit since Ignorance.
I actually enjoyed the kid's we used to be, but this track is pretty lame.
that was quite disappointing
Ignorance Never Dies, You Only Make Us Stronger and The Blood Stays On The Blade ruled. The Kids We Used To Be was not that bad, fun to listen to. This is meh. Got a bad feeling the new album will be that way too.
band is meh live too dont bother
i like the cleans but the rest is a little bit boring
The cleans are the worst bit
Ignorance was a good album but I can't see me getting any of their new stuff
Looking forward to the song with Jason for Letlive on though.
best part is dave wood obviously
Band rules I need to hear this.
Digging: Heathen Beast - The Carnage of Godhra
Ignorance Never Dies has some of the best breakdowns I've ever heard.
Not that that's saying much but they do rule
Ignorance is their best.
the artwork for their new album is laughably bad

Managing Editor
Last month, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Council, commonly known as the Great Lakes Compact Council, unanimously approved a request from the city of Waukesha, Wisc. to use Lake Michigan as its source of drinking water. Because Waukesha was in a county that straddled the Great Lakes Basin, it needed to request permission for the diversion as outlined in the 2008 Great Lakes Compact, which was designed to manage and protect the freshwater system. The review process forced Waukesha, the first city to make such a request, to scale back its initial diversion proposal and to design its system such that all water is returned to Lake Michigan. The Alliance for the Great Lakes advocated that conditions be placed on Waukesha's request to ensure the diversion did not cause environmental harm. Molly Flanagan, the group's vice president of policy who also helped negotiate the original compact, spoke with MiBiz about the process and what the ultimate approval means for future diversion requests.

If you're someone who feels especially compelled to help out your coworkers when they ask for assistance, you may want to rethink always saying yes.

The kicker: The draining effect is worse for people who care the most about the plight of others. Johnson, an associate professor of management at Michigan State University, spoke with MiBiz about his research, its implications and his advice for helpers and help-seekers alike.

Lawmakers have proposed amendments to the 10-year-old law that sets federal cybersecurity standards to account for changes that have since occurred in the federal IT environment.
Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the chairman and ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, unveiled the Federal Information Security Amendments Act of 2012 to overhaul the Federal Information Security Act of 2002, or FISMA.
The act--which has been posted online--points out that the federal IT environment has become increasingly interconnected over the last 10 years, and the security industry itself also has matured.
In light of these changes, the act calls for continuous monitoring and regular assessments of federal IT systems to ensure their security; mandates the establishment of baseline security controls for agencies as a framework for gauging the effectiveness of those controls; and gives agencies more authority to make decisions about using off-the-shelf security products in their respective IT systems, among other changes.
It also would transfer much of the oversight of agency cybersecurity away from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and back to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a shift from the current dynamic.
[ The Obama administration also unveiled cybersecurity directives this week. See White House Sets Cybersecurity Priorities. ]
The OMB expanded the DHS's cybersecurity profile in 2010, and the agency has been at the forefront of much of federal cybersecurity activities since then. Indeed, the DHS and the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) currently have the lion's share of overseeing agencies' FISMA guidance and implementation.
Cybersecurity has been a chief concern for the Obama administration, but despite a number of proposed laws debated in Congress, lawmakers have yet to pass comprehensive legislation to protect U.S. critical infrastructure and federal networks against cyber threats.
Last May, President Obama sent a broad cybersecurity proposal to lawmakers to overhaul the nation's cybersecurity laws as a way to speed the process along, and earlier this year various officials--including Obama's cybersecurity coordinator Howard Schmidt--also pushed lawmakers to act.
In the meantime, agencies depend on FISMA to guide them to protect federal networks. Officials already are working to integrate some of the concepts proposed by the amendment into the law. To facilitate continuous monitoring, for instance, in 2011 the DHS outlined new requirements for FISMA agencies reporting security information monthly via data feeds to CyberScope, an internal compliance tool.
The effort to achieve and maintain compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements remains one of the primary drivers behind many IT security initiatives. In our Security Via SOX Compliance report, we share 10 best practices to meet SOX security-related requirements and help ensure you'll pass your next compliance audit. (Free registration required.)
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Starting solids for 27 weeker?
Comments (8)
I have a 28 weeker and if I recall (she's 26mo now) the ped was saying I could start at 6mo actual and she definitely wanted her at least on cereal by 5mo adjusted. DD however had different plans--HATED baby cereal. I could never get her to really eat much of it until I gave her the Gerber Oatmeal with Bananas (some flavor, I guess). DD was one of those kids though that did NOT like baby food--she was however probably around 5mo adjusted or just over and eating 1/2 Puffs and 1/3 to 1/2 Cheerios, and graduating soon to bigger pieces and before 7mo adjusted was gumming down bits of grilled chicken. By 12mo ACTUAL she was pretty much on table foods (for a couple months I'd try once a day to get some "super mush" I made in her).
So strange since I had to kick my boys off baby food at 17-18mo (weren't fully on it, but still plenty enough).
Mary, SAHM to
Two handsome tween boys, and my miracle girl, now 2
DD was a 28 weeker, born weighing 1lb 15oz due to IUGR
Luke has been eating cereal since 5 months actual. He was born at exactly 27 weeks. We started due to reflux. At 6 months actual, he was on fruits and veggies. He loves to eat, we never had any problems with feeding him.
Mommy to Jake 12, Zach 10 and Luke born at 27 weeks due to HELLP Syndrome 1lb 13oz who is now 31 months
we just started last week at 6 months actual, just once a day (usually before the last bottle) and the ped had no problem with that. I am usually more inclined to give just the straight baby food though. My twins have so many gastrointestinal issues that the rice cereal just seems to mess with their bellies too much.
I had a 28 weeker. We were advised by the NICU dietitian to start at 6 months adjusted. The ped said we could start at 6 months actual, but we went with the NICU's advice because they are the preemie experts

You will hear quite conflicting info on this... what you want to make sure is that her gut is really ready. The difficult part is figuring that out. There isn't a switch when it happens, but there are signs that they are ready, which means their gut is most likely ready... basically, they should be able to sit unassisted, be able to bring things to their mouths and make chewing motions.
You might want to check out the BLW feeding method. It works great with preemies and seems to help those that have texture issues (which is common for those on vents, etc.) and it also let's you know that their system really is ready.
My DS neonatologist, pediatrician, and dietician, who do not work together, all recommended starting solids at 6 months adjusted age, not 6 months actual age. My DS will start in December.
Our neo at the clinic told us to introduce now, at 6 months actual, to introduce him to the textures. No clock on switching in earnest, just as he seems interested so far.
B, 25 weeker born April 2010. 175 NICU days, 2 lb 1 oz rockstar. Kicking butt and taking names.
H, arrived 40w3d April 1, 2014. 8lb 12 oz. Hearty boy.
My daughter was a 30 weeker and we started baby foods at her 6 month actual which made her 4.5 adjusted.. we would give her tastes of baby food here and there and now she will be 8 months on the 5th and she is eating a jar a day.. we still dont have her on a 3 meals a day she gets most of her food via bottle and we always give her baby food for dinner and sometimes breakfast.
just take it slow!

In India there are presently six HVDC systems in operation which have contributed considerably to the linking of its dissimilar regional grids. In March 2000, Powergrid, the largest power transmission utility of India, awarded a new long distance HVDC transmission project to Siemens Germany. This project is being executed now. The HVDC system 'East-South' will transmit 2000 MW of electrical energy from the power generation centre in Talcher in the State of Orissa-over a distance of about 1400 km-to Bangalore in the State of Karnataka, a rapidly developing industrial high-tech area that needs this bulk power urgently to cope with its increasing electricity demand. The present paper highlights some key aspects of this mega project starting from design considerations for all vital components including converter valves, converter transformers and a state-of-the-art control and protection system. Furthermore, the paper introduces the design and performance criteria for the transmission system.

OAK BROOK, Ill McDonald's Corp (MCD.N) executives said on Wednesday that the fast-food giant's McCafe coffee roll-out is off to a good start and that data on its market share impact should be available in about six months.
"Things are going very, very well .... Coffee movement has been good. It's exceeded our expectations," Don Thompson, president of McDonald's USA, told reporters in a press conference following its annual shareholders meeting.
McDonald's has said it expects the addition of beverages ranging from coffee and cappuccino to water and sports drinks to eventually add $1 billion to annual sales.
The company said its associated bottled beverages push likely will focus on plain and flavored waters and sports drinks rather than energy drinks and carbonated beverages.
"The jury is still is still out relative to energy-based drinks," said Thompson, who added that frappes and smoothies could be in stores by the latter half of next year.
McDonald's recently announced the formal launch of its McCafe coffee drinks in the United States, where around 11,000 of the fast-food chain's roughly 14,000 U.S. locations will have the McCafe coffee stations.
"We're going to be doing some additional consumer measures and we'll get a chance to see what market share looks like, but that will probably be another six months down the road," Thompson said, referring to the impact of the company's coffee push.
Many analysts view McDonald's McCafe expansion as a direct attack on cafe chain Starbucks Corp (SBUX.O), which has lowered prices in some markets where competition has intensified.
McDonald's is also rolling out McCafe stations in overseas restaurants. For example, it plans to add McCafe to more than 1,100 European outlets.

Hey Cool People!
Bring your hackathon app to the next session. I'll do my best to reserve some time at the end to help anyone with problems and to answer any questions you may still have. Remember most hackathons are day of event development. So they aren't that polished, but they get the idea across. I can't wait to see what everyone has come up with. And if you're lacking ideas go check out iTunes and steal an idea from there! ;-)
Please remember to do the homework, or download the finished solution that Kevin will be posting soon. You will need that for the in class sample.

Diamondbacks activate Johnson, send Petit to minors
PHOENIX -- Randy Johnson returned to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night and was far from perfect.
Six months after back surgery, the Big Unit gave up six runs in five innings against San Diego, his first start for the Diamondbacks since 2004.
Johnson struck out seven but gave up six hits, including two home runs and two doubles. He walked four -- two intentionally -- and hit two batters. He threw 97 pitches, 53 for strikes.
The 43-year-old Johnson pitched a perfect game for Arizona three years ago, then spent two frustrating seasons with the New York Yankees, failing to win both of his postseason starts. Johnson, who needs 20 victories for 300, pitched in Phoenix for the first time since Oct. 2, 2004, when he defeated the Padres.
He showed good command early but couldn't protect a pair of leads.
In the first inning, Johnson struck out leadoff man Marcus Giles on a 3-2 pitch, got Jose Cruz Jr. on a long fly to right field and then struck out Brian Giles looking. Johnson received a standing ovation from the sparse crowd behind the dugout as he walked off the mound.
After he was staked to a 2-0 lead, Johnson gave up a two-out, two-run homer to Adrian Gonzalez in the third. The Diamondbacks took a 3-2 lead in the bottom half, but Johnson gave up a tying homer to Cruz in the fifth. Khalil Greene added a three-run double.
Johnson faced fellow 43-year-old David Wells. At a combined age of 87 years and 300 days, Johnson and Wells became the oldest pair of left-handers to start a major league game. The previous mark was set April 12, when 44-year-old Jamie Moyer of Philadelphia opposed 41-year-old Tom Glavine of the New York Mets.
Johnson no longer has the overpowering fastball that helped him win five Cy Young Awards, four with the Diamondbacks. And after one time through the batting order the Padres began to tee off.
Arizona trailed 6-3 when Johnson left for a pinch-hitter in the fifth.

Copy-Kate on tour! Royal lookalikes trail Duke and Duchess on trip Down Under
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have just enjoyed some time off deep in the outback, at Uluru in central Australia.
And while they make their way on to Adelaide, over 1000 km away from Sydney, a pair of doppelgangers have set about lapping up some 'crazy' attention off the back of the Royal tour.
Meet Royal imposters Simon Watkinson and Gabriella Douglas, who graced the Sunrise and Mornings sofas today and claimed the real Royals have seen their 'work'.
Scroll down for video
Spot the difference? Gabriella Douglas and Simon Watkinson, left, on Sunrise and the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge, right, posing in front of the Sydney Harbour Bridge
Uncanny: Will and Kate doppelgangers Simon Watkinson and Gabriella Douglas appear on Channel Nine's Mornings
The look-a-likes, who flew into Australia this week from the UK, were dressed in similar outfits to those that William and Kate wore when arriving in Sydney and touring the Opera House.
Gabriella donned a bright yellow dress, an imitation of the Duchess's bright maize yellow wool crepe Roksanda Illinic frock.
And Simon wore a dark suite with a red tie and white shirt, similar to the Duke's outfit.
However, Simon gave away his real identity as soon as he opened his mouth and spoke in an Australian accent instead of Will's plummy English voice.
The real thing: The Royal couple pictured after they held a reception at the Sydney Opera House on April 16
The pair, who have posed in satirical photo shoots for photographer Alison Jackson in the UK, first stood in front of a green screen in the Sunrise studio with a picture of iconic Australian landmark Uluru projected behind them.
'You've just gotta have a bit of fun with it,' said Simon, a 31-year-old civil engineer who bears an uncanny resemblance to William.
Originally from Adelaide, Simon moved to London six years ago and picked up the title of Europe's best Prince William look-alike.
But as the imposters squatted at flies incessantly they did it with far less grace than the real Royal couple did when visiting the red rock on Tuesday.
Just friends: Simon and Gabriella revealed they are not actually a couple like Will and Kate
Intrigued: Channel Nine's David Campbell and Sonia Kruger grilled the pair on how they started out
Having fun: Simon, left, and Gabriella, right, said they enjoy their job and Simon was keen to point out that he is also a civil engineer so sees being a doppelganger as more of a hobby
Just as they were in the middle of talking about how happy they are to be in Australia, a man dressed in a long haired black wig and speaking Spanish walked out holding a baby dressed in dungarees – the little Prince George.
He did a rather comical job of imitating George's 43-year-old nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, who is currently taking care of the future King back in Canberra.
The Prince is spending much of his waking hours with Miss Borrallo, who was hired in March, as his parents carry out a packed schedule of public engagements in Australia.
Sunrise host Samantha Armytage seemed to enjoy having a baby on the show's sofa, as she held the little tot who was wearing a toy silver jewelled crown.
Selfie: The Mornings presenters take a Royal snap with the doppelgangers
Funny looks: The Royal look-a-likes have received strange glances from passers by since being in Sydney
Impressed: Author Prue MacSween, centre, grabs a photo with the doppelgangers backstage at Sunrise
Gabrielle claimed she experiences lots of attention like Kate and can't walk around her home town of Windsor, England, without being mobbed by tourists - because she looks just like the Duchess.
She explained that coach loads of visitors surround her in the hope of getting a photograph every time she goes out in the royal Berkshire town mistaking her for the famous Royal.
This is what first prompted the 26-year-old brunette to cash in on the striking resemblance and secure a job as a Kate-alike.
Royal visit: A baby dressed as Prince George sits on Sam Armytage's lap next to co-host David Koch on Sunrise
Cute: The Sunrise co-host cuddles a Prince George doppelganger
Imitation: A man pretends to be George's nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo
And as she sat on Channel Nine's Mornings sofa she claimed the attention the pair - who are not a couple like Will and Kate - have been getting in Sydney is 'crazy'.
'We've got a lot of funny looks,' added Simon.
Gabriella revealed on Sunrise that she met the real William once, boasting that he held the door open for her.
'But it wasn't meant to be... it's a good side job for me,' she added.
The doppelgangers will appear at Myer Sydney City today - somewhere that is not on the Royal schedule - to launch Peter Alexander's new Mother's Day campaign.
They will then start their own version of a Royal tour, visiting different stores around Australia for a few days.
