Starting Sunday and running through April 18, "SportsCenter" will put every NFL team with a first-round pick "On the Clock." Scouts Inc. will break down each team and look at what questions still need answering, starting with the Browns, one of two teams that do not own a pick in the first round of the 2008 NFL draft.
Key Additions
To say the Browns have been aggressive this offseason would be a big understatement. The team's defensive line was its glaring weakness, and Phil Savage aggressively set out to fix that problem with the trades for Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams. The Browns now have not only star power up front, but also plenty of depth, which will be of utmost importance in keeping Rogers fresh and as productive as possible. Rogers can be dominating, or he can go in the tank. How much the Browns' coaching staff gets out of him may be the key to how successful the defense is next season. Williams has the skill set to quickly adapt to the 3-4 scheme and will be an immediate presence as an interior pass rusher, an area where Cleveland was deficient last year.
The Browns also added talented speedster Donte' Stallworth to an already explosive offense. Though he has been inconsistent and has bounced around the league, he can be a difference-maker as a downfield threat and gaining yards after the catch. Center Rex Hadnot was an excellent signing. He brings versatility, aggressiveness and power to the Browns' interior offensive line. Head coach Romeo Crennel's contract was also appropriately extended, giving the Browns much-needed stability.
Key Losses
In order to acquire Rogers, the Browns had to send Leigh Bodden to the Lions. At his best, Bodden ranks among the top dozen or so cornerbacks in the league, but 2007 was a very forgettable campaign for this talented cover man. Without question, though, he will be missed.
Other than Bodden, the Browns did not lose anyone of particular significance. Clearly Cleveland believes that it is a contender; the team did a fantastic job of locking up its own free agents in addition to bringing in a boatload of new talent.
Remaining Questions
Though the Browns do still have some problems, they will not be able to address their issues through the draft. They don't have a pick until the fourth round because they've surrendered a second-rounder for Williams and a third-rounder, plus Bodden, for Rogers. They could always take a page from last year, when they sent this year's No. 1 for Quinn, but is there a player they like enough in this year's draft?
Their secondary is very young and rather unproven, but talent exists there, and the entire unit will surely be bolstered by better pass-rushing production from the defensive line. Still, the secondary is an area of concern. LB Kamerion Wimbley is an excellent young player, but had a down year last season and there are questions at the other outside linebacker position, where Willie McGinest is well past his prime and Antwan Peek has battled injuries. The additions on the defensive line will lessen the stress on these players, but there is still some concern here. Also, behind Jamal Lewis, the Browns do not have a proven running back.
With all that being said, Cleveland did win 10 games last year and has improved.

At age 74, Galveston's Lucy McMahon is a record-holding international powerlifting competitor, and on Dec. 8 she will be competing in the Global Powerlifting Alliance/International Powerlifting Organization World Championships in Moscow.
One of the mantras in our colleges and universities — and maybe in advanced high school classes, too — is that we must teach students to think critically.
The video tape player, an ancient thing, had been repaired and put in good order within the last year or two, so I popped the tape in and sat back to watch and recall the story.
We should all ask Comcast for an adjustment on our bill for the 8 days that we had poor service. I tried calling Comcast yesterday and was put on hold for over 45 minutes. I finally gave up and press #2 to leave a message and the recording said that the mailbox was full, then disconnected. Robert Mihovil
Gave up on them long ago. There seems to be no connection between service and customer service at this place. It is a horribly run corporation that keeps allowing good people to do not so good things.
Robert, are you still having the issues of On Demand freezing?
Just don't go in person to Comcast on 646. The wait is worse than DPS.
Free digital TV with a good outdoor antenna is the way to go. That way, you can get hundreds of channels and be entertained, and pay no monthly bills for the mostly ignorant shows presented anyway on the boob tube. To insert different words to the George Strait song: No cable, no satellite. No problem.
why is this even in the newspaper.. kinda like the huge ice storm.
no show....wish you guys would get out of the small town mode.
Our Comcast Internet connection has been extremely bad the last few days.
Trying to get any problem resolved on the phone is so frustrating. That stupid robophone system just sends you in an endless loop of non action and its impossible to get to an actual human being.
Last year about this time I was reviewing all of my personal financial items and realized the Comcast bundle (phone, internet & cable TV for multiple rooms) was in excess of $250 per month which calculated to more than $3000 per year!
I got rid of everything but the internet and now can watch almost everything I nornally did for free online whenever it fits my schedule.
As a result a couple of things happened.
I enjoy my personal time more than ever.
I interact more with the people around me.
There is less mind numbing background noise.
I read more than ever before.
I used the savings to take a enjoyable vacation.
Best single thing I ever did was to disconnect from Comcast.
And I agree with those who feel Comcast's customer service is at best...lacking!
Disconnect and take back your life!
We got rid of cable 27 years ago . The bad service we received was the reason, plus the cost. We have a indoor power antenna . Have not missed it at all.
Response to tlfabian posted at 5:46 pm on Tue, Jan 28, 2014:
ROTFL - I think part of the charm of the GDN is to see what kinds of stories "make" it to print. I'm still reeling from the stories a couple of years ago when an "acquaintance" got angry with the other guy and knocked over his barbecuer. Or, when one member of a family stashed a couple of thousands of dollars in one of their sock drawers, and the money somehow "mysteriously" disappeared.
You can't find stories like that in the Wall Street Journal.
We have been frustrated with Comcast for many years. It is a super large corporation that makes it mark by running on inefficiency, poor service and inadequate infrastructure...the worst part is that we keep paying for it. After reading the comments, I decided that I'm going to research getting all our TV programming via internet.
Well, I wanted to comment on the other blog post (yes, tlfabian, it is a blog post, and therefore not "news", but an interaction with the readers), but there was some glitch where it wanted me to subscribe...
Anyway. We're not big TV-watchers. Had cable when we lived up north because of some of the HBO series and the long winters. Didn't watch much other than HBO and HGTV and some PBS, but did subscribe to Netflix for DVDs.
Moved down here without a TV and didn't buy one for almost 5 years. I had surgery and bought a personal DVD player and resubscribed to Netflix for DVDs.
We later bought a small (22") TV with DVD player built in and kept the Netflix. Then we bought a ROKU player and added streaming over the house DSL wireless.
We get our HBO series, and just about anything else we want. The DSL is about $45/month (which we have anyway for internet service and therefore music) and Netflix is $22 these days (2 DVDs and unlimited streaming).
Cable is a monopolistic rip-off. We don't feel deprived, and I often feel stunned when I hear how attached some people are to current TV and how much they watch it.
We generally watch about 8-10 hours/week of something; that is seasonally variable and almost always after dinner... and doesn't account for some binge-watching sessions of new releases!
That Mc Ice Storm packed a whallop! My rubber trees look dreadful.
We have ROKU and there really aren't any network TV programs I watch anymore. But I do like some HBO and Showtime series. Some of those programs eventually end up on Netflix so I think I might consider my options. I usually have time to watch about one hour of TV at night and so I like it to be good.
If you want to get rid of Comcast I recomend Directv. I have been a subscriber since 2000 and the picture quality is unmatched. Don't beleive the person who says it goes out in every rain storm, because it doesn't. The rain storm has to be very bad to lose the signal and as soon as it passes the picture pops back on. Well worth the price and you can talk to a CSR 24 -7 if need be.
Comcast (communist cast???) Xfinity is horrible, in my opinion. I have traveled around the world and have had better cable service in 3rd world countries. Galveston needs and deserves capitalist competition with a land line cable provider competitor.
Until that happens we are slaves to the Comcast Xfinity substandard service, in my opinion, of course.
Laura Elder - you are our voice. Be the great journalist you are and be the Erin Brochovich of protecting the public from Cable TV service. We are counting on you!!
I am coming in late to this Blog, but I thought that I would contribute my two pence.
I cut the cord to Comcast cable television a couple of years ago and I must admit to going through withdrawal for a couple of months. I still have my Internet connectivity through Comcast and it is adequate.
I grew tired of paying more and more for the privilege of watching interminable commercials and "repeats". The price kept increasing 5-6% per year with the general inflation rate only running around 1% or so. I though there was something wrong with Comcast's business model, at least as far as I was concerned.
Also, they kept on re-jiggering the channel availability packages.
I have found that "free" streaming programming, such as that available on C-Span and You Tube videos are enough to keep me adequately entertained. Also, I can see enough college and professional football games on broadcast television. Alas, my Astros are now only available to me on radio, but I console myself with their performance these last few seasons. I haven't missed much.
Laura, we recently installed an indoor antenna we purchased for about $45 at WalMart in my daughter's home. She gets local channels only, but as most of the tv shows she enjoys are on network TV, she and her family are enjoying enough TV to entertain them for free now instead of paying $150 and up a month, which is better than no TV at all, which is what she had before. She is able to stay better informed with current events and weather now...and it costs her next to nothing....just electricity. As a single mother of 3, that's the right price!

The refreshing aroma of apple is really good. Green tea is mild and there is sweetness in this tea.
Better served cold

This apple flavor kinda disappears if you brew it in hot water. I find this tea best served cold - I put a bag of this in my bottle of water at work and find the slight apple flavor very refreshing.

"Tour of Congreso" Palacio Congreso Tip by Dabs
Palacio Congreso, Buenos Aires: 38 reviews and 80 photos
If you want to go on a tour of Congress, check in advance regarding the times. The first day we showed up, the guard said "manana" and wrote down 4 tours for the following day. We showed up for the 4 pm tour which should have been in English according to our guidebook but it was cancelled so we took the tour in Spanish so that we could see the interior. I wish I understood more Spanish, it seemed like the guide was giving an incredibly thorough tour of the three rooms that we visited, the Congressional Chamber, the library and one other room. We did not get to see pink Salon de Rosado or the Senate chambers that are listed in our guidebook as being open to the public, it may depend on what is going on in the building that day. One of the men on our tour got into a heated discussion with the guide about why they could only show us a picture of the Senate and not take us in. The guide won the argument :-)
Congreso is an impressive building from the outside as well, it incorporates elements from the US Capitol (the dome and wings), the Garnier Opera House in Paris (the roofline)and the topping of the four horse Triumph from the Bradenburg Gate in Berlin.
One of the main architects, incidentally, was Victor Meano who was also involved in the design of the Teatro Colon, he was murdered in a love triangle gone sour before either building was completed. You can see the resemblance of the Congressional chamber to a theater with upper floor areas that look like theater boxes and Greek columns lining the walls.
Address: Entre Rios and Callao at Rivadavia
Directions: Subte station: Congreso, entrance should be on the Rivadavia side of the building

We have a new porch and new composite front door which fits well and shuts without difficulty when the inner door is open. If the inner door is shut, the outer door will not close without great difficulty and a lot of pulling and banging. This is putting a strain on the handle and so we have resorted to having to leave the inner door open to be able to leave the house. The inner door is not a particularly air tight. I removed the draught proof tape on the inner door, to see if an increased gap would help but no improvement. I do not want to put a hole in my new exterior door. Can anyone suggest anything that might help? We are planning to replace the inner door soon as the existing inner door is damaged, so if there's anything we might be able to do with this door please could you let me know? Any helpful suggestions appreciated
Before concentrating on an air pressure solution, I would eliminate two other possibilities:

I'm working on simple application which will let me to create small pictures (icons) in sizes such as 8x8, 16x16, 32x32 (etc) pixels. I will be creating a grid representing each size by scaling to amount of pixels. Each pixel will be represented in a small square which will be able to click to change color etc.
So here's my question regarding what elements such app should have:
What VS tool would let me to create a grid for my project? Keeping in mind that each small square should be generated automatically by using X/Y size provided by user and boxes should be clickable. Also, I probably should be able to be able to click one pixel and drag mouse to select other pixels.
What simple functions should such small app have? For example choosing colors.
What minimal functions should I have?
I'm trying to get the general idea of how to make such small app work and what user might expect when opening small, icon creating, application.

Married seven years to Patricia, no children.
|How long have you lived in Arizona?
July 1, 1990
|What is your party registration and how long have your been registered as a member of that party?
Democratic Party, around 10 years. I was a registered Independent while I worked at the Supreme Court from 1991-1997 and changed my registration around 2000.

|Are you using public funds in your campaign?
|Do you have any sort of a criminal record or any outstanding civil judgements? Please be specific.
|What is the best piece of political advice you ever received?
Be yourself. Be open to others, be a problem solver, and be gracious. That is who you are.
|What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)?
I have read over 100 books over my lifetime. I offer three: A Brief History of Everything by Ken Wilber, The American Soul, Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Founders by Jacob Needleman, and Essential Spirituality, the Essential Practices to Awaken Heart and Mind by Roger Walsh, M.D., PhD
|What favorite movie has meaning for you?
I have seen scores of movies. I offer three films: What Dreams May Come, starring Robin Williams, City of Angles, starring Nicholas Cage, and The Way, starring Martin Sheen. The movie I have watched the most because they are on so often and are great theater are the three Bourne films.
|What is your favorite place in Arizona?
One place I really enjoy for its unusual natural character and easy access is Boyce Thompson Arboretum.
|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
Dr. Richard Carmona life story is inspiring and his leadership would be a very valuable addition to the United States Senate. Sandra Day O'Connor for her efforts to bring honest, civil discourse and reasoned constitutional thinking to our country's discourse through her service on the Supreme Court. Her efforts now through her foundation to instill civic responsibility within our student population is important and admirable. I think you can still admire someone even if you disagree with one or two major decisions she made.
|Has state government been spending too much money, the right amount, or not enough? Specifically, how would you change the state's approach to spending?
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too much money. Why?
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too little money. Why?
|If you favor further state tax cuts, name one tax that should be cut and why.
|4) I favor tax reform, and then allow the reform to work for three years. This Legislature has been cutting special interest and big money taxes for each and every year with little to show for it, except less revenue to build a competitive foundation for a successful Arizona society for the 21st century. Republicans continually state they want a stable environment for businesses, yet continually seek even stranger ways to benefit their friends in high, moneyed places and mess with the tax code. Tax reform that creates a stable environment for large, medium and small businesses to work effectively and gives government a base to provide essential services is one important element of building a strong infrastructure to make Arizona work going forward.
|Do you think the 1-cent-per-dollar sales-tax measure should be extended? Why or why not?
|5) Until we reform the tax code, the one cent sales tax should be continued to ensure that each and every school in your neighborhood can provide the teaching and learning opportunities that help our kids be ready to compete and be successful in the 21st century.
|Is Arizona's budget too reliant on the sales tax? If so, what should be done to change the mix of revenues? If not, what should the state do to prevent cyclical drops in its revenue?
|Are there any circumstances under which you would favor a tax increase to offset future state budget deficits?
|7) I supported the one cent sales tax to fund public education when it was approved by the voters because it met criteria that demanded action. I believe that every situation is unique and should be examined on its merits, its potential effects, what outcomes are being sought, and the relationship of those outcomes to other budget priorities.
|The fiscal 2013 budget contains a $450 million rainy-day fund. Were lawmakers prudent to set aside that much money, or should they use some of the money to restore programs cut over the last four years? If you favor some restoration, in what areas?
|Lawmakers have structurally balanced the state budget for the last two years by cutting programs and relying on the temporary 1-cent sales tax, as well as federal stimulus dollars. The stimulus dollars are gone, the tax expires in June 2013 and various groups say the cuts have been too deep. How would you keep the budget in balance?
|Do you believe in greater transparency in the Legislature? What would you do to make it happen?
|Was SB 1070 a good way to approach immigration policy? What action does Arizona need to take next to deal with the problem of illegal immigration?
|11) Whether it was a good action or bad action is now immaterial with the Supreme Court ruling. I think the next step for Arizona is to bring people and ideas together and acknowledge the interconnected realities on the ground and come up with a comprehensive proposal that addresses this complex problem. Included in this group should be members of our Congressional delegation so they can take the results of this problem-solving work group and produce successful legislation.
|CPS isn't investigating 100 percent of the reports it deems worthy of investigating. In fact, CPS has been unable to respond to hundreds of reports since at least October 2011, including those considered high risk. Do you believe CPS should respond to 100 percent of reports? If so, how would you make sure that happens?
|12) Responding to abuse and neglect reports should be one of our highest priorities in government. If protecting children is not providing for the general welfare of its citizens, I do not know what is. I am tired of abused and neglected children being abused by the politicians who would rather fund their friends. Not giving CPS the resources to at least meet the minimum standards of responding to and investigating reports of child abuse and neglect is an abusive act by the Legislature and a lack of leadership by the Governor.
|Would you vote to allow guns on campus? (Or similarly, would you vote to allow guns in public buildings?)
|Do you agree with defunding Planned Parenthood? And/or the 20-week abortion ban?
|Should Arizona act to declare "its sovereign and exclusive authority and jurisdiction over the air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources within its boundaries"?
|15) This is another example of an out-of-touch Arizona Legislature acting out their narrow belief system that conflict with Constitutional and federalism principles that this country has been based for 200+ years. If we were still under the Articles of Confederation (1781-1989) which pre-dated the Constitution, this law might make sense. Then you would have to look at the cost of implementing full sovereignty. It makes more sense for the Arizona Legislature to act to secede from the Union than pass this resolution. Of course, to me, that is crazy talk. What is in the tea that people are drinking when they think up this stuff?
|Should all employers be allowed to opt out of contraception coverage?
|16) No, all employers should not be allowed to opt out of contraception coverage. Why does the Arizona Legislature want it to be difficult for women to practice birth control? I will stand by women and act against government intrusion into their use of contraceptives. Having the ability to prevent unwanted pregnancies, reduce the number of abortions, and promote better health care for women is something that I would have thought most people would favor.
|There is likely to be a ballot measure this fall creating open primaries, where all candidates for an office compete in one election, and the top two vote-getters advance to the general election. It would be optional to list party affiliation. How do you plan to vote on this measure, if it qualifies for the ballot?
|17) As a Clean Elections candidate I find some troubling aspects to this initiative. Where it is currently practiced costs of campaigning have gone up, candidates go through a convention process, with open party primaries being eliminated. Sounds like backroom, big money politics is the result, rather than duplicating the nonpartisan City Council members and mayors working in harmony. However, I have not decided how I will vote as the appeal to eliminate partisanship and be problem-solvers at the Legislature is something I fully support. The key for voters is to select people who are engaged, accountable, and truly want to move forward and solve the problems we need to address.
|Would spending more money on public schools increase the quality of education in Arizona? Why or why not?
|18) If the money is targeted and well spent, the quality of education will improve. The nationwide statistics are all the proof you need. The Legislature spends fewer dollars, targets it inefficiently, and expects superior results. Giving our neighborhood schools what they need to provide quality classroom learning environments will translate into better prepared students ready to compete and succeed in the 21st century. Our students and their teachers need project-oriented teaching practices, technology used in the world, and class sizes that enable real, interactive, and problem-solving learning to take place.
|Do we need tougher restrictions on gifts to legislators? How would you change existing rules?
|19) We need Legislators that actually will follow the rules, act ethically, and be responsible to all the people. It is one thing to claim integrity; it is another when actions show that integrity and honesty are just empty words when legislators continue to pass laws that line the pockets of big-moneyed, special interests. Ban all gifts; better yet refuse to vote for those who continue to adopt legislation that favors the few over the many.
|Arizona remains the only state in the country with a waiting list for KidsCare. Would you support funding to lift the enrollment freeze on KidsCare and eliminate the waiting list?

The Scouts (Paperback)
Special Order
The boy scout movement, started by Lieutenant General Baden-Powell (1857 - 1941) in 1907, has had an enduring impact on British society, providing boys from the age of six upwards with 'instruction in good citizenship.' Using scout archive material, original photographs, advertisements, objects and personal recollections, this book traces the history of the scouting movement from its roots in the Edwardian era when Baden-Powell ran an experimental camp held at Brownsea Island, Dorset attended by a handful of boys. Moving through the decades, the story unfolds of a movement which is a multicultural, multinational phenomenon with some 500,000 young people (including 60,000 girls) between the ages of 6 and 25 in the UK and 28 million young people participating in scouting across 216 countries. Within the memory of many today, the author brings the story to life with the personal recollections of cubs and scouts who were active members in the post-war period, adding a truly nostalgic dimension to the book.

Prep 25 mins
Cook 3 hrs
This is almost the same as #32436 with the exception that it shows the amounts. I changed a couple things but the recipe is basically the same THANKS Sparkle for the starting point. IT'S AWESOME !!!!!!!! However it blows the calories to heck. With 8 servings it comes to 466 cal. with 6 servings it's 621 cal. Guess you guys will figure this out from the ingredients.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 1⁄2 cups diced onions
- 1⁄2 cup diced celery
- 1⁄2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1 can diced tomatoes (you can sub. tomato sauce)
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons black pepper (fresh ground)
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 ounce tequila
- 1 can beer
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika (I used Hungarian)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans pinto beans or 2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans kidney beans
- hot sauce
- Brown beef and pork in skillet.
- drain for at least 15 minutes to rid of all the grease.
- place back in pan and over med heat add everything except- tequila, beer and beans.
- bring just to a boil then reduce heat.
- add beer and tequila.
- simmer for about 2 to 3 hours.
- add beans during the last half hour.
Most Helpful
This is an ok chili, not a big fan of itthough. The flavor does improve on sitting. Definitely don't taste before simmering as the flavor is very harsh. Seemed like all ground meat and beans, not near enough tomato stuff. Not hot spicy at all, I added a bit of hot sauce to my bowl of chili.
I loved the flavour of this recipe, but agree with Dana. That must be a typo with the water, I suggest just covering the ingredients with water, and letting it cook all day. I made it for a large family gathering and they all loved it. I used scotch instead of tequila, as we didn't have any, and of course a beer. I think that's a great ingredient for many different types of sauces, it really helps to bring the flavours out. Thanks Somers!

Love this app, it makes my simple little site totally viral! All of our "rescued pet" stories are bringing attention to the pets(page) that need homes. Thanks!
My Issue:
The "Post to Page" dropdown feature does allow me to select from the pages that I manage on FB. Previously, it did post to my page. Since then, I reinstalled the plugin a couple of times for various bug repairs(including yesterday's FB "blackout" [resolved]).. and now I've lost this feature.
I'd like to know:
1. What should the setting look like in MySql so I can check there? Ex.{page:??}
2. Also, what should the settings in the FB App look like? Ex: "[post] to [page]" ...(I did check the instructions for the user Open Graph, good instructions, but saw nothing on Post to Fan Page)
I think my problem may be in the App settings as I also rebuilt the FB App in the site owners name rather than mine, and I'm thinking I goofed in the new App settings.
So just those two short examples of code would be great, thanks.

This is done through a study of two key papers. First, we examine a paper from Fudenberg and Levine: Reputation and Equilibrium Selection in Games with a Patient Player (1989). We add to this a review Gossner's Simple Bounds on the Value of a Reputation (2011). We look specifically at scenarios in which a long-run player faces a series of short-run opponents, and how the former may develop a reputation. In turn, we show how reputation leads directly to both lower and upper bounds on the long-run player's payoffs. 2016-07-20T04:00:00Z Geometry of Dirac Operators http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14633 Title: Geometry of Dirac Operators Authors: Beheshti Vadeqan, Babak Abstract: Let $M$ be a compact, oriented, even dimensional Riemannian manifold and let $S$ be a Clifford bundle over $M$ with Dirac operator $D$. Then \[ \textsc{Atiyah Singer: } \quad \text{Ind } \mathsf{D}= \int_M \hat{\mathcal{A}}(TM)\wedge \text{ch}(\mathcal{V}) \] where $\mathcal{V} =\text{Hom}_{\mathbb{C}l(TM)}(\slashed{\mathsf{S}},S)$. We prove the above statement with the means of the heat kernel of the heat semigroup $e^{-tD^2}$. The first outstanding result is the McKean-Singer theorem that describes the index in terms of the supertrace of the heat kernel. The trace of heat kernel is obtained from local geometric information. Moreover, if we use the asymptotic expansion of the kernel we will see that in the computation of the index only one term matters. The Berezin formula tells us that the supertrace is nothing but the coefficient of the Clifford top part, and at the end, Getzler calculus enables us to find the integral of these top parts in terms of characteristic classes.

A leading method in the field of spectrum estimation is the multitaper method. The multitaper method has been applied to many scientific fields and has led to the development of new methods for detection signals and modeling periodic data. Within these methods there are open problems concerning parameter selection, signal detection rates, and signal estimation. The focus of this thesis is to address these problems by using techniques from statistical learning theory. This thesis presents three theoretical contributions for improving methods related to the multitaper spectrum estimation method: (1) two hypothesis testing procedures for evaluating the choice of time-bandwidth, NW, and number of tapers, K, parameters for the multitaper method, (2) a bootstrapping procedure for improving the signal detection rates for the F-test for line components, and (3) cross-validation, boosting, and bootstrapping methods for improving the performance of the inverse Fourier transform periodic data estimation method resulting from the F-test. We additionally present two applied contributions: (1) a new atrial signal extraction method for electrocardiogram data, and (2) four new methods for analyzing, modeling, and reporting on hockey game play at the Major Junior level.

One such idea is the notion of higher rank sieve weights, first proposed by Atle Selberg and applied successfully to the context of prime k-tuples by J. Maynard and T. Tao. We develop an axiomatic formulation for a general higher rank sieve, in the spirit of Selberg's own treatment of his classical sieve. We apply this theory to an assortment of problems such as almost prime k-tuples and prime k-tuples in imaginary quadratic fields with class number 1. Another novel idea that was brought to the forefront by the path-breaking work of Yitang Zhang is that of obtaining new equidistribution results for the primes by making the moduli "smooth" or free of large prime factors. We develop a general method to incorporate the technique of smoothing the moduli into the higher rank sieve and apply this to prime k-tuples. In a different vein, the last chapter of the thesis expands upon the well-known parity principle in sieve theory. We show that sufficient "randomness" in the sign of the M\"obius function, combined with another conjecture about the equidistribution of the primes in arithmetic progressions, can be used to break the parity barrier and yield infinitely many twin primes.

Are there more user-friendly alternatives to gsview/ghostcript for Windows?
closed as off-topic by Jens Erat, Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007, random♦ Aug 1 '14 at 3:13
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
You can use IrfanView to view the
Evince for Windows doesn't nag on start-up, unlike GSview. (As you probably know, GSview requires registration[*], which costs money, to get rid of the nag. GSview is still licensed under AFPL, a license that was abandoned for ghostscript itself.)
Download link: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince/Downloads
Currently you need to manually associate ps files with Evince using the Windows right-click -> Open With -> Choose default program.
I think the Windows package doesn't require a separate ghostscript but I need ghostscript for other stuff, so I have it installed anyway. According to https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince/SupportedDocumentFormats it uses libspectre, which in turn requires libgs from ghostscript, but the Windows package of Evince comes with its own libgs-8.dll, which might not be the latest version (9 of ghostscript) but works fine as far as I could tell for everything I tried, which is mostly old papers in PS format that I need to read now and then. (Converting these to pdf usually results in crappier documents because of font issues etc.)
Evince is pretty standard on Linux, so its code base is quite good. I've contributed some bug fixes myself in the past, but haven't had to do that in years.
[*] Since sources for GSView are available under AFPL, you could, at least in theory, modify and recompile GSView so it doesn't nag you by changing gvcreg.cpp as the comment at the top of that file suggests; the AFPL license seems to allow you to do so, although it requires you to provide notice to users that the program has been modified. The main issue is that GSView doesn't seem to compile with MS Visual C++ after version 9 (2008 that is) without other source changes.
I assume the nag and dependence on ghostscript as an external program are the main issues you were thinking about in terms of user-friendliness. If there's something else you had in mind, please leave a comment with specifics.

Tour organizers always try to throw a few twists into the predictable template of the 106-year-old race, but they've outdone themselves this time.
The clockwise route starts on the Mediterranean coast, meaning the peloton will hit the road in hot, windy weather, a real contrast from the cool, wet conditions that often characterize the initial week when the race begins in the northern part of the country.
In a controversial experiment, race radio communication between team managers and riders will be banned during two midrace stages. Some cycling purists believe that audio technology has made tactics overly robotic, especially during flatter stages where breakaways are almost inevitably caught by teams looking to position sprinters for the finish.
The 2,149-mile course favors climbers over time-trial specialists, a point emphasized by the decision to scrap the customary last-weekend time trial in favor of a potentially hair-raising uphill finish on Mont Ventoux.
Get set for an interesting ride.
July 4: Stage 1, Monaco (individual time trial), 9.63 miles
A hilly, technical race against the clock long enough to be called a stage rather than a prologue. Overall contenders such as Tour of Italy winner Denis Menchov of Rabobank and Astana's Alberto Contador, Lance Armstrong and Levi Leipheimer could make statements here, along with specialists such as Team Saxo Bank's Fabian Cancellara and Garmin-Slipstream's Brad Wiggins.
July 5: Stage 2, Monaco to Brignoles, France, 116.2 miles
A course with rolling terrain that should end in a bunch sprint.
July 6: Stage 3, Marseille to La Grande Motte, 121.8 miles
Forecast: flat and hot. Another day for the sprinters.
July 7: Stage 4, Montpellier (team time trial), 24.2 miles
No secret who will be in the mix on this loop course: Astana, Columbia and Garmin, which engaged in spirited verbal and athletic sparring in this event at the Tour of Italy, should be the teams jousting for a win that could put one of their riders in the yellow jersey for a few days.
July 8: Stage 5, Le Cap d'Agde to Perpignan, 122.1 miles
A breakaway group will enjoy spectacular coastal scenery before being caught at the finish.
July 9: Stage 6, Girona, Spain, to Barcelona, 112.8 miles
This day's journey will start sentimentally for many riders, including Leipheimer and nearly the entire Garmin team, who call this beautiful Catalan city home. Some hills punctuate the middle of the course, but teams with speedsters are likely to try for one last field sprint finish.
July 10: Stage 7, Barcelona to Arcalis, Andorra, 139.2 miles
Will the overall contenders lower the hammer on the first mountaintop finish? The longest stage of the Tour distancewise could be particularly crucial for the internal dynamics at Astana, where the "strongest man" duel between Contador and Armstrong could start to play out.
July 11: Stage 8, Andorre-la-Vieille, Andorra to Saint-Girons, France, 109.7 miles
Front-loaded with two Category 1 climbs before a downhill finish, this stage is tailored for a breakaway winner.
July 12: Stage 9, Saint-Gaudens to Tarbes, 99.7 miles
Another tasty stage for a breakaway specialist, although top contenders will be mindful that a successful escape over the twin peaks of the Col d'Aspin and the legendary Tourmalet -- with a rest day looming -- could go a long way toward an eventual race win. Given last year's somewhat tentative racing on critical climbs, a risk-taker could be rewarded today.
July 13
Rest day, Limoges
July 14: Stage 10: Limoges to Issoudun, 120.8 miles
A transitional stage over unchallenging terrain on the French national holiday of Bastille Day that might be unremarkable except it will mark the first half of a notable experiment. Tour organizers have banned the use of car-to-rider race radios in this stage and Stage 13, leaving everyone to figure out time gaps and tactics as they did during the old days.
July 15: Stage 11: Vatan to Saint-Fargeau, 119.3 miles
Another transitional slog that should finish with a sprint.
July 16: Stage 12, Tonnerre to Vittel, 131.4 miles
This is officially listed as a "flat" stage but is relentlessly undulating.
July 17: Stage 13, Vittel to Colmar, 124.3 miles
The second of two stages that will be conducted in radio silence. (See Stage 10.) A tricky middling-mountains ride where the overall contenders will mark each other closely but likely will be content to maintain the status quo in the standings. The peloton will be substantially whittled down by three categorized climbs, and a breakaway group should vie for victory on the downhill finish.
July 18: Stage 14, Colmar to Besancon, 123.6 miles
Last chance for the sprinters to shine until the Champs-Elysees.
July 19: Stage 15, Pontarlier to Verbier (Switzerland), 128.6 miles
The race moves into its final week with a big question -- will top riders go for it on any of these Alpine stages, or save themselves for Thursday's time trial and Saturday's Mont Ventoux climb? This is the only uphill finish in the Alps, but it's not stratospherically difficult, and this stage doesn't shape up as decisive.
July 20
Rest day, Verbier (Switzerland)
July 21: Stage 16, Martigny (Switzerland) to Bourg-Saint-Maurice (France), 99.4 miles
No one will win the Tour today, but it could be lost with even a brief lapse. A stage with similar topography cost Garmin's Christian Vande Velde his podium hopes last year. The peloton will begin by scaling the "beyond classification" 8,110-foot Col du Grand-Saint-Bernard pass. As soon as that descent ends, the climb up the Category 1 "Petit" Saint-Bernard begins. Another descent wraps up this survival-of-the-fittest stage.
July 22: Stage 17, Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Le Grand-Bornand, 105 miles
The stage profile looks like the seismograph of an earthquake, with five categorized climbs and a downhill finish. The climbing could be greater than the sum of its parts, especially if it's hot -- a pitfall day for the overall contenders.
July 23: Stage 18, Annecy (individual time trial), 24.8 miles
In a departure from recent tradition, this test, usually scheduled for the penultimate day, recedes somewhat in importance because of its placement, but still could be a critical setup for the grand finale if time gaps among the leaders are close. The course circumnavigates a picturesque lake and includes one modest hill.
July 24: Stage 19, Bourgoin-Jallieu to Aubenas, 110.6 miles
The least exhausted breakaway specialists will contest this stage while the overall leaders conserve energy.
July 25: Stage 20, Montelimar to Mont Ventoux, 103.8 miles
All the marbles will be at stake on the windswept, barren moonscape of this geologic anomaly, where so many riders have found glory and grief. It's hard to overstate how dramatic this finish could be, as even substantial margins could evaporate.
July 26: Stage 21, Montereau-Fault-Yonne to Paris, 101.9 miles
Almost always entertaining, the parade stage could have a bearing on what is expected to be a fierce battle for the green, or top sprinter's, jersey. That honor is acutely coveted by young Columbia sensation Mark Cavendish, who will be trying to fend off rivals, including Cervelo Test Team's Thor Hushovd and Oscar Freire of Rabobank.

German manufacturer Zarges Tubesca Division Wind plans to begin construction on its $5 million Amarillo wind turbine tower component factory in a few weeks and has already hired some members of its small-business team, a company official said Wednesday.
More than 100 people, including a top German Embassy official and Zarges officials from Germany, attended a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday at Zarges' factory site, at the CenterPort Business Park, 2300 N. Lakeside Drive.
The factory will manufacture wind turbine internals such as ladders, lifts and other support structures that fit inside wind towers.
Tim Dannels, managing director of Zarges' U.S. division, said construction at the 80,000-square-foot factory will begin in about three to four weeks, and construction should be complete about six months after that.
"We hope to move in in October. In October, we hope to be operational in some form, either partial or fully and somewhere in between," Dannels said.
Dannels said the company already has hired its small-business team and will start hiring key staff throughout the summer. Factory and other manufacturing support staff hiring is anticipated in the fall, he said.
"We hope to put on staff 30 to 40 this year, and then we hope to grow up our business plan to 100 over the next 12 to 24 months," he said.
Frank Haberstroh, the CEO of Zarges Tubesca Division Wind, praised the collaboration between officials from the Amarillo Economic Development Corp., city leaders and Zarges to bring the company to Amarillo. Haberstroh said that, based on projected U.S. wind energy needs, the Zarges factory could equip as many as 71,000 wind towers with internal support structures.
"I want us to make the Amarillo community to be proud of having invested in us," he said.
The plant will be a replica of the Zarges facility in Weilheim, Germany.
Last year, the AEDC approved a $4.75 million incentive package to lure the company to Amarillo.
The agreement calls for Zarges to lease the plant for 20 years, with its payments varying based on jobs it creates.
