What the fashion heads say: Second City Style:
First gap closes Forth and Towne and now Liz Claiborneis nixing Mexx's U.S. stores. But have no fear, the Europeans have shown no indication they're closing, so we can still order online from Germany, the Netherlands and France.
What I say: The clothes at Mexx was a little too, umm, boring, to compete with the likes of H&M and Forever 21.

1. Technical Field
This invention relates to processors and methods for solving assignment problems and, in particular, to processors and methods for solving large constrained assignment problems in real time.
2. Discussion
The solution of large scale assignment problems is a major challenge to conventional data processing 10 systems. Generally, in assignment problems a number of elements are to be selected from among many others and assigned to other elements in such a way as to force to the entire assignment over all the elements to be optimal in some sense. Part of the difficulty of association problems is that they are generally not solvable with a single solution but, instead, there may be a range of solutions over which the best solution is sought. Moreover, association problems frequently involve a combinatorial "explosion" or exponential blow up, in the number of possible answers. Association problems are found in a number of applications, including among others, resource allocation, object association, data fusion, pattern matching, and manufacturing inspection systems.
Most of the current approaches to solving these problems have a number of drawbacks. These often involve difficulties in developing algorithms and software. Also, an inordinate amount of CPU time is usually required once the algorithms and software have been developed. One example is in the area of resource allocation. This field involves the efficient optimization of the allocation of technological or industrial resources. One commonly used technique for resource allocation is called linear programming. A linear programming model consists of a number of linear expressions that represent the quantitative relationships between the various possible allocations, their constraints, and their costs or their benefits. The set of relationships is said to be linear if all of the relationships are sums of constant coefficients multiplied by unknown allocation values which are equal to, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to, a constant. Unfortunately, many resource allocation problems cannot be represented by such linear relationships but involve higher powers of unknowns or non-linearities in the relationships and thus are not solvable using linear programming approaches.
For allocations problems which do fit the linear programming model, the most commonly used approach is called the Simplex method, developed by G. B. Dantzig in 1946. More recently, the barrier, interior point (Karmarkar) method improved upon the simplex method. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,744,028 issued to Karmarkar. However, even improved linear programming techniques still require an inordinate amount of processing time for large scale problems thus precluding their use in real time applications. In this context, real time is defined as providing an optimum allocation sufficiently fast to provide more or less continuous control of an ongoing process, system for apparatus. Further, linear programming techniques still require extensive front end analysis which must be redone for each new nuance in the assignment problem structure. Also, these approaches exhibit a high sensitivity to input data scaling.
In view of the forgoing, it would be desirable to have a system which can solve large constrained assignment problems in real time. Further, it would be desirable to have such a system which can achieve well-balanced near optimal assignments at high speeds. Also, it would be desirable to have an assignment processor which requires minimal algorithm development, minimal software development, and minimal preprocessing.
In addition, it would be desirable to have such a system which is tolerant of coarsely normalized input data and which is also able to adapt quickly to small changes in the assignment problem structure. Finally, it would be desirable to have an assignment processor which can be constructed at low cost utilizing low complexity hardware components.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a system is provided for producing an assignment of a plurality of entities to a plurality of objects. The assignment is optimized subject to fixed constraints. This system represents the assignment as a connectionist processing architecture having multiple processing elements. These processing elements include a first class of processing elements, each representing groups of the entities and a second class of processing elements representing the objects. Also, a plurality of interconnections between the first and second classes of processing elements have variable weighted connection strengths which are a function of the constraints and also a function of a random noise factor. The system also includes a means for selectively assigning the entities one-by-one to the objects based on the strength of the interconnections. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the assignment is made from the first class of processing elements having the strongest connection to the second of class of processing elements.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for solving assignment problems. In particular, the method assigns a plurality of entities to a plurality of objects subject to fixed constraints. The method includes representing the assignment as a connectionist processing architecture having multiple processing elements wherein a first class of processing elements each represents groups of the entities, and a second class of processing elements represents the objects. Next, the method involves the step of providing a plurality of interconnections between the first and second classes of processing elements where the interconnections have variable weighted strengths which are a function of the constraints and also a function of a random noise factor. Finally, the entities are selectively assigned one-by-one to the objects based on the strength of the interconnections.
The various advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art after reading the following specification and by reference to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagram of a weapons allocation assignment problem to be solved in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2A is a diagram of a connectionist architecture for solving the assignment problem shown in FIG. 1 in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2B is a flow chart of the assignment processing steps in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a detailed flow chart of the steps performed in FIG. 2;
FIG 4 is a flow chart of an experimental simulation in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG 5 is an example of experimental results based on the experimental simulation of FIG. 4.
In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a system and method is provided for solving large constrained assignment problems in real time. This system and method will be explained through the example of a system adapted for weapons assignment. It will be appreciated that this preferred embodiment is but one example of an assignment to which the system and method of the present invention can be employed.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a diagram of the weapons assignment problem is shown. In particular, the weapons assignment problem 10 involves assigning fire-units to cover assets so as to minimize total damage from a given size threat. The fire units 12 have different strengths depending on the number of missiles they contain. They also have a coverage area or footprint 14 which defines the area of coverage of the fire unit's missiles. Assets 16 having different values or priorities, are shown as triangular areas. The fire unit footprints 14 overlap one another. For example, asset A1 could be covered by fire unit 1, 2, or 3 since it lies within the footprint 14 of all three fire units.
Each asset 16 will have a given number of threats (not shown) assigned to it. In a realistic scenario, there may be, for example, hundreds of threats assigned to each asset. It will be assumed that one missile is required to defeat each threat. Also, in a realistic scenario, there may be dozens of assets having threats assigned to them totaling in the hundreds. Each fire unit 12 may have, for example, approximately 60 missiles. The large number of threats, missiles, and assets make the assignment problem very computationally intensive for conventional processing systems. Further, in a realistic situation, the scenario may change within minutes. Thus, the assignment must be completely redone within this time frame to address the new scenario.
FIG. 2A is a diagram of the concept of the connectionist architecture for weapons assignment (CWA) 20. Input processing elements 22 are depicted as representing the fire units 12. Output processing elements 24 are shown representing the assets 16. Connective lines 26 between the input processing elements 22 and output processing elements 24 are depicted which provide connections between each input processing element 22 and each output processing element 24. The particular fire unit (FU) represented by each processing element 22 is designated by the subscript (i) while the asset 15 represented by the processing element 24 is represented by subscript (j). Each connective line 26 is represented as A (i,j) where i and j designate the processing elements connected by the particular connective line 26.
Referring now to FIG. 2B, a flow chart 28 for the connectionist architecture for weapons assignment (CWA) system 20 in accordance with the present invention is shown. The first block 30 in the flow chart 28 is labeled "initialize connections (assignments)". In this step, the connections shown as lines 26 in FIG. 2A are initialized to be A. Connections A are a function of RND (a random number)�M�C�V where: A(ij) is the connection "strength" between fire-unit (i) and asset (j). The random number may be a uniform pseudo-random number which is a continuously variable value between 0 and 1. M is the number of missiles in FU(i), C is the coverage of FU(i). The coverage C may be a between 0 or 1, where a 0 indicates that the asset j is outside of the coverage of the fire unit i, and a 1 indicates that asset j is within the coverage of fire unit i. V is equal to the value of asset j. Value may be derived from a number of considerations, one of which may be the actual economic value of the asset. In any event, V will serve to prioritize assets.
Step 32 is labeled "assigned missile per max connect". In this step, the connection A(i,j) 26 which has the largest value is determined and missiles are assigned from the fire unit to the asset until the missiles and the fire unit or the threat are depleted. Step 34 looks at the fire units to determine if all the missiles have been used. This step also checks each asset 10 to determine if all threats against the asset are defeated. Once all missiles are used, the max connection is cut to permit the CWA 20 to proceed to different FU's by finding a new max connect in step 32. Likewise, once all threats are defeated for an asset, connections to that 15 asset are cut to permit the CWA processor 20 to proceed to assign missiles to different assets by finding a new max connect in step 32. When all the threats have been defeated, or all the missiles have been used, or there are no new assignments, then this step determines that the processing is complete.
Step 36 checks the value of the max A(i,j) to determine if it is less than a predetermined threshold. If it is not, then step 36 permits the processing to continue along line 38 back to block 32 to permit other missiles to be assigned. If block 36 determines that the max A(i,j) is less than the threshold, then it directs the process along line 40 back to block 30 to initialize connections for remaining missile assignments to be made. This reinitialization, due to the random number factor, will allow other connections a chance to participate prior to assigning all the missiles according to the current maximum connection.
Referring now to FIG. 3 further details of the processing flow 28 of the CWA 20 are shown. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the process 28 is broken down into seven main steps. In step 1, the fire unit and asset interconnects A(i,j) are initialized according to the equation:
A(i,j)=FNC rnd�M(i)�C(i,j)!.
The nature of this function "FNC" is not critical and may be for example, a simple linear function. In this step, each interconnect is initialized as a function of coverage C and missiles M available. This uniformly and randomly distributes potential assignment of missiles across assets covered by each fire unit. This assignment is biased by the number of missiles available at each fire unit. In step 2, all interconnects are scaled by the value of the asset by the multiplication:
In this way, for example, high value assets increase the interconnect strength giving them the desired priority.
In step 3, the maximum interconnect is determined. This interconnect is referred to as imax, jmax. This maximum corresponds to the best assignment as a function of the missiles available, coverage, and value of asset. In step 4, the CWA system 20 assigns one missile from fire unit (imax) to defend asset (jmax). Also, the fire unit (imax) is depleted by one, the threat count T(jmax) is depleted by one where, T (j) is the maximum number of missiles allowed in the defense asset (j). P (k)=1, where P (k) is "probability of kill", corresponding to the probability that the missile defeats the threat. The present invention may be extended to cover the case where P(k) may be <1, also.
In step 5, the process 28 determines if all missiles are used from fire unit (imax). If so, then all A(imax,j) are set to 0. This eliminates fire unit (imax) from future processing. In addition, step 5 determines if all threats against asset (jmax) are defeated. If so, then all A (i,jmax) are set to zero. This effectively eliminates asset (jmax) from future processing.
Step 6 determines whether the processing is completed by determining if all the missiles are depleted, or all threats are defeated, or there are no new assignments. If so, then process 28 is complete and the assignment may be output to a postprocessing step which may be performed by a host computer (not shown). If the process is not completed, step 7 determines if A(max) is less than a predetermined threshold. If so, then the process proceeds to step 1 so that all of the remaining fire unit and asset interconnects are reinitialized. If A(max) is not less than a threshold, then the process returns to step 4 and additional missiles from fire unit (imax) will be assigned. This check against the threshold allows other fire units a chance to participate to the solution prior to deploying all the missiles from the current fire unit. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, a threshold may be set a priori or adaptively to an arbitrary small value less than or equal to the largest possible A(max) value. For example, multiplying the number of fire units by the number of assets would yield a threshold within the range O+A(Max), but typically much smaller than the largest A(max).
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown a diagram of an experimental simulation 42 of the CWA system 20. The simulation has three main components: the scenario generation 44, weapon assignment 46, and processing display 48. It will be appreciated that the experimental simulation 42 may be entirely simulated in software to avoid the necessity of constructing hardware for such experiments. In the first step, scenario generation 44, the simulation 42 creates a simulated weapons assignment problem such as the one shown in FIG. 1, using input parameters such as the number of fire units, the number of assets, the asset priorities, the missiles per fire unit, the fire unit asset coverage, and the maximum missiles per asset. The scenario generator 44 will then generate random scenarios using these factors as mean values.
In the next step, weapons assignment 46, the scenario is processed as a snapshot in time. For each scenario, the number of missiles from each fire unit deployed in defense of each asset is outputted. Next, the processing display step 48 will display graphics and measure damage as a function of asset priority. A set of typical results for the experimental simulation 42 is shown in FIG. 5. In this example, the number of fire units was 3 and the average of missiles per fire unit was 60. In the first scenario, there were 11 assets and the fire unit coverage was 0.3. The number of threats was 154 and the total damage was 0.19 after one run. These results 15 also show damage broken down into high, medium and low damage measures which indicate the amount of damage incurred by high, medium, and low priority assets, respectively.
A hardware embodiment of the CWA 20 would include 20 processing elements 22, and 24 which could be constructed from simple digital logic components or microcontrollers. The variable strength interconnections 26 could consist of conventional conductors which include variable resistance devices which may be controlled by the processors 22 or 24. The logic to perform the processing flow 28, as shown in FIG. 2B, can be constructed with conventional hardware components (such as programmable microcomputers and/or logic arrays), software, or a combination of the two. It will be appreciated that due to the massively parallel, fine-grained hardware structure, very high speeds can be achieved with the hardware embodiment, that will not be achieved using a completely software simulation.
In accordance with the foregoing description, it can be seen that the CWA system 20 is able to solve large constrained assignment problems in real time. The system requires minimal algorithm development, minimal software development, and minimal preprocessing. Further, the system is tolerant of coarsely normalized input data and is able to adapt quickly to small changes in the assignment problem structure. Finally, the system can be constructed at low cost utilizing low complexity hardware components. While the above description constitutes the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be appreciated that the invention is susceptible to modifications, variation, and change without departing from the proper scope and fair meaning of the accompanying claims.

Missing my angel M/C ^2/22/2009^
am so sorry for your loss.
women with recurrent losses sometimes have pcos. i have it and so far it may be the cause for my MC 4 months again.
you can ask for your egg quality to be checked and your DH sperm to be checked also for chromosome abnormality. you can have your hormones checked during and after your period to make sure they are not imbalanced.
take as much time to heal and when you do try again have the doctor check your progesterone and other hormones. you can also ask if your uterus is healthy.
i hope this helps a bit and i hope it does not sound like am rambling. but i do not really know much about this. this is what i can suggest from the other women i see on other boards. best of luck and do not give up. take care

The Mystery of the Fifa Street 3 DLC Achievements
Written Wednesday, April 02, 2008 By Alan PettitView author's profile
So, a few weeks ago some DLC showed up on the marketplace for FIFA Street 3 for the very reasonable price of 300MSP, offering a few new arenas to play in. The description also promised new achievements which were clearly visible through the console, but never appeared on xbox.com, which is not the first time something like this has happened with EA (Godfather had the same problem). This left people unlocking them, but not receiving the appropriate gamerscore boost.
Today finally the achievements are visible through xbox.com and can be achieved as normal. However, the DLC was taken off the marketplace a few days ago because of the problem. I guess only time will tell when the DLC should show back up, but for those of you lucky enough to grab it while it was available, go ahead and unlock those achievements.
If you had unlocked the achievements before xbox.com was updated today, you *should* be able to recover your tag to your console and have the score fixed and the achievements updated, but I won't promise anything.

What is there to fear, Delegate Lewis. Your challenger, Republican Melody Scalley is not a politician like you. She's not a lawyer like you. And she's not even politically correct. She will call you out for stomping on our rights and liberties no matter your party. She's also a very petite lady. Surely you don't fear her, do you?
Or perhaps you have listened to her on the radio over the years, is that it? Have you no arguments to counter the positions she has stated over the years?
Perhaps that's it. You are very aware that she is an expert on the issues facing Eastern Shore residents because she is one of them, with the same concerns. All of their issues are her issues too.
Do you feel a bit of a disconnect with Eastern Shore residents and feel that will be glaringly apparent, should the two of you share a stage?
I understand. She is a fire cracker. I'm sure glad it's you and not me that is expected to debate her.
Fear manifests itself in many ways. As I drove down Parksley Road from Route 13 Saturday, I saw a couple of people putting your signs up on the road most people would take to get to the Scalley Rally at the Parksley Fire Station. I was immediately reminded of the scenes at the Shad Planking and a number of other places around the state where your fellow Democrat Terry McAuliffe did the same thing. I am sure Terry actually had his supporters place the signs. According to some of the locals at the rally, you used relatives. That's OK. I suppose everyone else was at the Fire House.
But that tactic didn't work so well for Terry, did it?
Perhaps one of the reasons you hesitate to debate Ms. Scalley is the fear that you might be asked a question about the propriety of being paid as Town Attorney by several towns on the Eastern Shore, and if this might be a conflict of interest. Perhaps that information might get over to the Virginian-Pilot who may use one of those Freedom of Information Act thingies to poke around a bit. They are quite good at that, you know.
Perhaps you just didn't want that spread around. As an Attorney, you would be sure to stay within the bounds of the law, I am sure. But is it actually proper to represent even one town in your district in an election year? Isn't there at least the appearance of a conflict there?
It was actually quite an amusing moment at the Fire Station when one of your neighbors brought up the fact that you were the Town Attorney in his town. Another of the locals said "He's Town Attorney in my town, too". That was news to a lot of folks.
Could it be a conflict? Well, I'm not an attorney, but questions on things like political sign placement and permits for various political functions could arise. Seems to me, that could put Ms. Scalley at a bit of a tactical disadvantage. Or force you to recuse yourself from giving advice, in which case the Town would have to pay someone else. I am quite aware that funds on the Eastern Shore are in short supply, and forcing your neighbors to shell out more money to pay for a second Town Attorney, because the one they already pay can't answer, would be a bit hard to swallow, even for one of your relatives.
I think a good debate question might be about your thoughts on Conflicts of Interest. It sure seems topical to me.
No wonder you are avoiding Melody.

The Bay County Sheriff's Office responded to a call for service from the property manager of an apartment complex in Callaway on May 10, 2011.
The manager stated that while reviewing invoices for purchases made by a former maintenance worker and a former manager, the property manager discovered many of the items could not be found and that twenty-three apartments were missing inside and outside air conditioning units.
Several apartments were missing either the inside unit or the outside unit. The total value of missing items came to approximately $81,000.
The former maintenance worker Kenneth Donald Penland was contacted by BCSO Criminal Investigations investigators. Penland, along with a former manager, had worked at the complex from February 2011 to March 2011 when both were released by the company.
After speaking with Penland, investigators believe he took the missing items valued at approximately $81,000 and sold them for $1,400. Penland was arrested on May 19, 2011, and charged with Grand Theft ($20,000 to $100,000), and Dealing in Stolen Property.
The investigation continues and additional arrests and charges expected.

Tough times in the industry can require companies to make tough business decisions. This month Fujitsu announced that it would spin off its personal computer and smartphone operations into separate wholly-owned subsidiaries. Fujitsu will continue to own the aforementioned business entities, but wants management of the new companies to be fully responsible for their business results. While the move may make sense from financial point of view, it has the potential to be difficult for each business unit to build a unified brand once they are separated. Throughout Fujitsu's 80-year history, the firm (like many others) has invested tens of billions in research and development of new technologies and continues to be a major R&D powerhouse. Fujitsu produced Japan's first mainframe computer in 1954 and...

Summer has barely begun, and I'm guessing you have already been to a number of barbecues, cookouts and potlucks. We humans sure love summer entertaining! Gathering with family and friends to gobble down good food, share stories, splash in the pool and soak in the sun is what we live for all winter long. But as we know, throwing a successful summer party is no easy task. There's a lot to prepare, and a lot to handle once it's over.

What is R.A.D.?
The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic, self-defense tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive course for women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program. Our courses are taught by certified R.A.D. instructors and provide you with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire physical defense program for reference and continuous personal growth. The R.A.D. System of Physical Defense is currently being taught at many Colleges and Universities. The growing, widespread acceptance of this system is primarily due to the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of our tactics, solid research, and unique teaching methodology.
The R.A.D. Systems is dedicated to teaching women defensive concepts and techniques against various types of assault, by utilizing easy, effective and proven self-defense tactics. Our system of realistic defense will provide a woman with the knowledge to make an educated decision about resistance.
"To develop and enhance the options of self defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked."
Safety and survival in todays world requires a definite course of action. We provide effective options by teaching women to take an active role in their own self-defense and psychological well being.

Nomura '1-Trillion-Yen' Japan Fund Drops Below 100 Billion Yen
Nomura Asset Management Co.'s once-dubbed "1-Trillion-Yen Fund" fell yesterday to its lowest level since being introduced in 2000 at the height of a bubble in information-technology stocks.
The "Nomura Japan Stock Strategy Fund" saw its net asset value fall to 99.7 billion yen ($1.15 billion) as of July 22 as individual investors shifted their cash into foreign equities, said Chiho Shimada, chief editor of Toshi Shintaku Jijo, an investment magazine. Dividend yields for Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index and Euro STOXX 50 Index are more than 4 percent compared with about 1.7 percent for the Nikkei 225 Stock Average. The Nikkei has declined 10.6 percent this year.
"The poor performance of Japan's stocks is one of the reasons for the unpopularity of the fund," said Shimada. "Another is that Japanese stocks have low distribution rates because of low dividend yields. People are investing for monthly returns."
The fund started in February 2000, just before the information technology bubble burst. It attracted 792.4 billion yen from investors before it began operation.
Sales of Japanese stocks funds have been falling, according to the Investment Trust Association, Japan. Domestic equity funds at open-end investment trusts posted 13 consecutive months of net asset outflow as of June as redemptions and cancellations exceeded sales, the association's data show.

"After rescuing my 7 year old pit bull mix in September, I knew her sweet face would make for a charming holiday card. Not only that, but I know how much she delights my friends and family, so the search was on for a holiday card that would capture her personality. I got rave reviews from those who received the card! It's simple and cute. The card stock is nice and thick, and allowed me to write a message on the back without it bleeding through to the other side. Customization was easy and I was walked through each step of the process. I can't wait to have another reason to buy cards from TinyPrints.com!"
"The ease of using this site was amazing. All options fully explained. And the final product HIGH quality and perfect. Crisp clear photos. AND delivered before quoted time."
"This card design/layout worked great for what I was looking for. The photos were very easy to upload from my computer. The card stock is fairly heavy so impressed with the quality. The finish is matte (not glossy) so not as high contrast on photos as glossy tends to be. I would recommend close up pictures. Overall, I was very impressed with the card and the delivery time was pretty quick."
"This card was great! The design quality was excellent. My only complaint is that some of my contacts were sent duplicate cards. It was someone embarrassing to have a few friends call me to say they got two cards."
"I loved the quality of the card stock. I used my picture. I wish I would have used a lighter filter that you had on the page to change the light/darkness. All in all I am very pleased with Tiny Prints and I will order from you again."

The City of Dothan along with the Dothan Houston County Emergency Management Agency has received a large volume of requests to organize a relief effort for the people in and around Moore, Oklahoma.
Now that the forces on the ground have moved from a rescue and mitigation role to a recovery mode, Steve Carlisle, Dothan Houston County EMA Director has contacted officials with the Oklahoma EMA.
According to Carlisle, "The people of Moore Oklahoma have been overwhelmed with relief supplies," said Carlisle. "The officials in Oklahoma asked that no more supplies be sent to the area."
The influx of water, diapers, formula and other products has actually become an emergency in itself. The spontaneous volunteerism and
donation of goods can actually become a management nightmare for the responders on the ground, in the affected area.
Anyone wishing to provide assistance to those affected by the tragic tornadoes in Oklahoma are encouraged to support relief efforts through monetary donations.
According to Dothan Fire Chief Larry Williams, "A monetary donation to a reputable organization such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army or the United Way would provide greater assistance than sending a surplus of goods that cannot be managed by the local officials".

This week on MinneCulture, an encore presentation of the The Minneapolis Music Scene 1975-1980, produced by Cyn Collins. The Twin Cities has had a vibrant music scene for decades, but in the early to mid-1970s there was almost no original music being performed. Only a few bands dared to be different, and thanks to their creative diligence, the Minneapolis punk/rock scene was born. This two-part documentary describes the Minneapolis music scene between 1975 – 1980, and features interviews and music by Curtiss A (Thumbs Up/the Spooks), Chris Osgood (the Suicide Commandos), Robert Wilkinson (the Flamin' Oh), Chan Poling (the Suburbs), Kevin Cole (Rev 105), Peter Jesperson (Twin Tone/New West Records) and many more.

The House of Hanson, a corner grocery store that has been a fixture in the Dinkytown section of Minneapolis for four generations, is closing to make way for a new housing and retail development. The controversial development won approval from the Minneapolis City Council after first being denied by the council's planning committee.
KFAI's Peggah Navab has a report.
Same sex marriage became legal in Minnesota at midnight. Marriages were performed in several locations around the state with committed couples taking advantage of the first opportunity to join in matrimony.
The largest celebration was in downtown Minneapolis at City Hall.
KFAI's Xan Holston was there. We'll hear the report he wrote and recorded as voiced by Ryan Dawes. And then Janis Lane-Ewart will report from the Midnight Marriage Madness at Patrick's Cabaret in Minneapolis.
The future of energy services for the City of Minneapolis has recently come into question. The city's 20 year energy contracts with its two main providers, Xcel Energy for electricity, and CenterPoint Energy for natural gas, are due to expire at the end of next year.
Some activists and city leaders are talking about a takeover – having power and gas services overseen and distributed by the city of Minneapolis.
The Minneapolis city council will give the public a chance to weigh in on the issue. KFAI's Hannah Rank has more.
This week on MinneCulture, producer Bobbie Scott presents an audio documentary on Arcola Mills. Tucked along the banks of St. Croix River just north of Stillwater, Minnesota, Arcola Mills is a serene spot with a long history. From Native and European settlers, to loggers and artist communities, it offers a beautiful respite along the St. Croix. This program is made possible by a grant from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
Women Against Military Madness is sponsoring a public forum to discuss the status of the Korean peninsula sixty years after the agreement that ended the Korean War.

Hyundai ix35 SUV
- Long warranty great for used buyers
- Generous standard equipment
- Handsome styling
- Not very efficient
- Could be more practical
- Rivals are better to drive
"The Hyundai ix35 wins for style, space and its great warranty, but some rivals will be cheaper to run."
Although it has now been replaced by the Hyundai Tucson, the Hyundai ix35 was a mainstay of the brand's range while on sale between 2009 and 2015. Up against talented rivals like the Nissan Qashqai, Skoda Yeti and Kia Sportage, it always held its own and offered a slightly different, value-for-money proposition, plus a generous and comprehensive five-year warranty.
On average, most people change car every three years or so, which means if they bought their ix35 new and you're buying it from them secondhand, there'll still be two years' warranty remaining. This adds a huge amount of peace of mind – especially as this car is aimed at families on a budget. Best of all, though, there's no mileage limit on the warranty, so it won't expire before the five years are up. Plus, there are added benefits, like roadside assistance.
The ix35 is a stylish, spacious and practical car, too, and while there's no seven-seat option, it's perfectly suitable if you only need five seats. The boot is a decent size, but it's not quite as usable as those in some of its rivals – the 60:40 split-folding rear seats don't fold completely flat, which both reduces the available space to 1,436 litres and makes it tricky to slide heavy items in and out. That said, with the rear seats up, the boot is large enough, but it's tricky to haul heavy items over the high load lip.
While the Hyundai's interior looks fairly smart, you may find the quality of materials used is a little behind those in some of its rivals. It does come pretty well equipped, however, with even the entry-level S model coming with air-conditioning and alloy wheels. Our favourite of the five trims available (S, SE, SE Nav, Premium and Premium Panorama) is SE Nav, as you get cruise control, Bluetooth phone connectivity, heated front and rear seats, rear parking sensors, satellite navigation and a rear parking camera.
Under the bonnet, there's a choice of two diesels – a 1.7 and a 2.0-litre – and one petrol, a 1.6-litre. Our favourite is the 1.7-litre diesel, as it provides the best balance between performance and efficiency. However, it's likely to set you back a little more than the petrol to buy in the first place, so if you don't do that many miles, the petrol might be a better bet.
The 2.0-litre diesel offers the strongest performance in the range, but costs considerably more to buy and its standard four-wheel-drive system increases running costs. It's the best choice for towing work, however.
None of the engines makes the ix35 particularly entertaining to drive, however. At low speeds and around town, the suspension doesn't deal with undulations particularly well, while at higher speeds, it pitches and rolls too much, which leads to significant body lean in corners. The steering doesn't inspire a huge amount of confidence, either, so this isn't a car for the driving enthusiast.
Safety shouldn't be a concern, though, as Euro NCAP awarded the ix35 the full five stars, thanks in part to standard safety equipment including traction control, anti-lock brakes, stability control, a tyre-pressure monitoring system and a trailer stability assistance system.
In terms of reliability, Hyundai has a decent reputation – the brand was rated 16th for reliability out of 32 manufacturers in our 2015 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey and placed 21st overall. The ix35 itself, however, didn't fare quite so well. It came 124th out of 200 cars overall and 125th for reliability in the same survey.
There was also a recall in 2014 for a seatbelt fault, so make sure this work has been done before you buy a used example. That said, buying one with some warranty left should offset any reliability worries.
MPG, running costs & CO2
Hyundai ix35 engines aren't the most efficient, but long warranty and good-value servicing make up for it
Engines, drive & performance
Rivals' more modern, advanced engines show the age of the Hyundai ix35. It's not bad for a used car, however
Interior & comfort
The Hyundai ix35 is comfortable, well equipped and solidly built, plus the interior is attractively designed
Practicality & boot space
There's plenty of space inside the Hyundai ix35 and the boot is a good size, if a little tricky to use
Reliability & safety
The Hyundai ix35 doesn't have a fantastic reliability reputation, but if you can find one that's still in warranty, we'd be less concerned

The Copenhagen Wheel transforms your bicycle into a smart electric hybrid, quickly and easily. The Wheel contains a motor, batteries, multiple sensors, wireless connectivity, and an embedded control system. The Wheel learns how you pedal and integrates seamlessly with your motion, multiplying your pedal power 3x—10x. It makes hills feel flat and distances shrink, so you can cycle just about anywhere.
Riders are given a boost as they pedal by measuring their effort, instead of using a throttle. This preserves the normal biking experience while enabling riders to bike faster, farther, and easier.
As you bike, the wheel is able to capture energy when braking or going down hill that it stores in the integrated lithium battery pack.
All actuation of the wheel happens automatically via the pedals through sensing and control algorithms. When the rider pedals harder, such as when going uphill, the wheel pushes with increasing power. Using your smartphone with the Superpedestrian app, you can vary the level of powered assist.
The Copenhagen Wheel SDK enables developers to get creative and develop a host of applications ranging from navigation to customizing the behavior of the wheel.
The Copenhagen Wheel makes your bike look even better. It's completely wireless, compact and simple; all designed for your everyday commute. Twist two nuts, install the wheel, download the app and you're ready to go!
Get more from your Wheel by downloading the complimentary mobile app, which allows you to lock/unlock your wheel, choose amongst a menu of customizable rides, and track personal usage statistics including time, distance, calories burned, elevation climbed and more, all of which can be compared and shared with friends.
Welcome to TIME's annual round-up of the best inventions making the world better, smarter and—in some cases—a little more fun.
New tech turns regular bikes into hybrids
Since it was invented in the 19th century, the basic concept of the bicycle has stayed the same. But as Michelle Miller explains, that may be changing.
If an Electric Bike Is Ever Going to Hit It Big in the U.S., It's This One
Aimed at encouraging alternative methods of transportation.
It all started with this question, "How do we get more people to cycle?"
A group of researchers have reinvented the wheel--and named it for a city in Denmark...
With one push, the Wheel turned me into the bicycling Hulk...
the Copenhagen Wheel does for electric bicycles what Apple did for mobile computing with the smartphone and tablets
Helping people move through cities in a seamless way
instead of adjusting your speed using a throttle or button, you'll simply pedal faster
Cycling is limited to the scale of the city, but we want to help people overcome the city.
It's rare that a company comes along and reinvents the wheel, but it looks like that is about to happen.

Hello, I was wondering if I could make a page that would display posts from categories that the user picks.
Example, I have category 1, 2, 3, and 4. On the page the user would pick 2 and 3, and it would display all posts from the categories 2 and 3.
Is this even possible? If so, can any one point me in the right direction? I'm no expert at coding, but I know some and with a little help I hope to accomplish this.

I am setting up my default
.bashrc on my Ubuntu machine that I will soon be adding more and more users to.
One command that users will have access to is
mysql, logging them into the SQL system on the server. Is there a was yo dynamically update the
.bashrc depending on the username without human intervention?
What I am looking for is to set up an alias for the following:
User Matt will have an alias:
alias sql='mysql -u matt -p'
User Jim will have an alias:
alias sql='mysql -u jim -p'
The mysql username will always be the same as the system username, making me wonder if there was a simple way to get the output of
whoami and use that as part of the command.

"So what killed him?"
Astrid clenched her teeth and tamped down on her anger, restraining her initial sharp retort. "I've been here five minutes, Paulson." Paulson flinched as her response bit, drawing blood. "Look, I'm sorry. It's been a rough night." She modulated her tone carefully, soothed away the mark on Paulson's cheek.
She turned back to the body. Neck snapped. Bruises. Bones nearly pulped.
"Blunt force," she said. "Nasty. 'Loser,' maybe. 'Failure.' Haven't seen words hit like this since that sociopath Cowell was put away."
"People don't think," said Paulson.
"Or they think too much. That's half the problem."

This is a must have for every family!!! I'm blown away by this families story and the incredible talent that they share. Laughing Pizza's music is absolutely fantastic! Their story will inspire your kids and make every parent want to get up and dance. It's thoroughly entertaining, amazing music and an unbelievable message. I can't recommend it enough.
THANK YOU LAUGHING PIZZA for giving parents what they've been waiting for... for years!
I got this for my two boys about a week ago, and it hasn't come out of the DVD player OR the CD player since we got it! We have a great time watching and singing along in the car on the way to school and at home before dinner as well as right before bedtime! I hope we get a chance to see them in person soon. I hope more people support this family - what a great alternative to the typical kids' stuff that's available!
This movie is wonderful and the music is super fun and positive.! I have 2 boys (9 and 3) and a girl (5) and they all absolutely love it! It's impossible to find something that all 3 of my kids enjoy but Laughing Pizza has done it. Finally I can put something on that makes my whole family happy... even me and my husband. This is exactly what every parent needs.
It's quite rare that a movie will hold the attention of my three kids (7, 5, 3) as well as my husband and I for an entire hour but this movie did! We saw the band live in GA and bought this DVD at the show and it was an instant fav in our house! I will be buying a second copy to keep in the car for our road trips this summer.
This is a wonderful CD for the whole family. My three grandchildren will watch it over and over again and they love to dance and sing along with Laughing Pizza. This is a must have for every family that enjoys good wholesome entertainment that can be enjoyed by everyone.
A great movie for the whole family. Fun music and happy people.
I saw them with my children in concert and had a blast! This film allows us to take them home and enjoy their music any time.
Always the perfect movie for a musical pick-me-up that everyone enjoys!
We love Laughing Pizza! They are full of energy and Emily is just the sweetest! :) Love it!!
Such a wonderful video. Great fun for the whole family! We love Laughing Pizza!

So, with all eyes on Campbell, Williams is quietly having perhaps as good of a combine workout. Here are his results so far:
40-yard: 4.88 (2nd only to Campbell's 4.85)
Vertical: 34" (best for OL, including Campbells 32")
Shuttle: 4.63 (2nd only to Jared Veldheer's 4.51)
Broad Jump: (Best for OT at 9'5" and well above any other big name OT other than Saffold)
For a guy who was widely considered too slow on his feet, and exclusively an RT, he is showing some eye popping results. What's more is that he has better tape than Campbell, no weight issues or attitude problems like Davis and did it without being coached by a former NFL OL coach like Bulaga.
I don't know about you guys, but Williams definitely moved up my boards, and at this point, I wouldn't have any reservations about drafting him at 17, or perhaps even 13 if all the other OT are gone.[/b]

The fuzzy integration evaluation method (FIEM) is studied in order to select the best orbital elements from the multi-group initial orbits determined by a satellite TT&C (Tracking, Telemetry and Control) center with all kinds of data sources. By employing FIEM together with the experience of TT&C experts, the index system to evaluate the selection of the best initial orbits is established after the data sources and orbit determination theories are studied. Besides, the concrete steps in employing the method are presented. Moreover, by taking the objects to be evaluated as evaluation experts, the problem of how to generate evaluation matrices is solved. Through practical application, the method to select the best initial orbital elements has been proved to be flexible and effective. The originality of the method is to find a new evaluation criterion (comparing the actually tracked orbits) replacing the traditional one (comparing the nominal orbits) for selecting the best orbital elements.
