Spearfish Man Claims $85,000 Dakota Cash Jackpot
SPEARFISH, S.D. (AP) — A Spearfish man has claimed a lottery jackpot of nearly $85,000.
Jake Barbarevech bought a ticket at a Deadwood convenience store that won the Dakota Cash jackpot in Wednesday's drawing. He says he hadn't played the game for a couple of years but decided to buy a ticket while buying tickets for other lottery games.
He and his wife, Linda, plan to use the money to catch up on bills.
The Dakota Cash jackpot starts again at $20,000 for the next drawing, on Saturday.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The pound jumped against the dollar Thursday as the Federal Reserve's silence on when it could raise interest rates bolstered views that U.K. rates are likely to rise before those in the U.S.
Spain's Crown Prince Becomes King Felipe VI
Spain's crown prince was proclaimed King Felipe VI on Thursday, succeeding his high-living father in a low-key ceremony before a joint session of parliament. He also received the red sash of captain general of the armed forces from his father, Juan Carlos. Watch cremony highlights. Photo: Getty Images
The pound GBPUSD, +0.4343% shot up to $1.7038 from $1.6991 late Wednesday, topping $1.70 for the first time since October 2008, according to FactSet. Higher interest rates tend to boost a country's currency, as foreign investors are compelled to buy the local currency in order to scoop up the higher-yielding assets.
Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen on Wednesday emphasized that there's no "mechanical formula" for when U.S. rates could rise. Her comments came in a press conference after the Fed decided to reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, the fifth straight cut in its bond-buying program. In contrast, Bank of England Gov. Mark Carney surprised markets last week when he said the central bank could tighten policy sooner than the markets expect.
Yellen also brushed off three months of higher consumer-price inflation by saying the data could be "noisy." Investors had been watching for comments on higher inflation to see if it could prompt the Fed to hike interest rates sooner, as the central bank takes both inflation and employment into account in setting monetary policy.
"The Fed is more worried about anchoring long-term rate expectations than preparing the market for rate hikes," said Kit Juckes, a strategist at Société Générale, in a note.
The ICE Dollar Index DXY, +0.20% which pits the greenback against six rivals, inched down to 80.327 from 80.380 late Wednesday. The WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, +0.13% an alternate measure of dollar strength, was at 73.05 versus 73.07.
President Barack Obama said Thursday the U.S. will send 300 military advisers to Iraq as violence continues to escalate.
Data released Thursday showed U.S. jobless claims fell by 6,000 to 312,000 in the latest week, hovering near the post-recession low. A gauge of manufacturing conditions in the Philadelphia region jumped in June, indicating that U.S. factory activity could be on the upswing.
In other action, the dollar USDJPY, +0.34% traded at ¥101.96 versus ¥101.92 late Wednesday. The euro EURUSD, -0.4087% inched up to $1.3604 from $1.3594 in the prior session.

Despite being comprised of a finite number of cards, seventy-eight to be exact, tarot opens us to an infinite universe, both within and without. A newcomer can be overwhelmed by the vastness of the tarot landscape. In addition to the general "bigness" of it all, there is that delightful, freeing aspect of tarot that can also be the bane of a beginner's experience: there are very few hard and fast rules with tarot. Tarot expert Barbara Moore, author of Tarot for Beginners, explains just what tarot newcomers can expect from her new book.

The tremendous wave of interest that followed publication, and then the movie, of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code left a lot of excitement, and some confusion, in its wake. There is no doubt that while some questions regarding Da Vinci remain unanswered, others can be addressed. We learn from geniuses such as Da Vinci and build upon their knowledge and their example. The Da Vinci Tarot, with its imagery drawn from Da Vinci's artwork and the many sketches and writings of his notebooks, is one such example.

Anyone who wishes to learn the tarot can find a plethora of books on the subject. Anyone wishing to study the Rider Waite Tarot in depth can also find many, many books to choose from.

Part of the charm of "The Voice" is seeing and hearing people who can just completely own the stage, even if you'd never guess it passing them on the street. Michelle Chamuel, who auditioned for Season 4 of the hit on April 1, proved just that.
The self-proclaimed "introvert" (who's also the frontwoman of band Ella Riot, so go figure…) took the stage and appeared quite unassuming, but, as soon as she ripped into Katy Perry's breakout hit "I Kissed A Girl," that all changed.
Adam Levine turned his chair around right out the gate. Shakira soon followed, with Usher hitting his button at the very last second. As they battled it out to win Michelle on their team, Shakira let her know she thought she was "fierce" and saw a "rock chick" inside of her. Adam joked, "There's a rock chick inside of me, too."
Michelle wasn't ready to make her decision without putting the judges a bit on the spot, though. "Based on what you saw today, what would you develop? What ideas come up?" she asked.
Adam told her, "It's our job to guide you in the direction you want to go in." Shakira plead he case: "A passionate coach will give their 150%…and that coach is talking to you right now." In the end, though, Michelle chose Usher. Her new coach remarked, "She made an investment in me, I'm gonna make the same investment in her."
What did you think about Michelle's performance, "Voice" fans?

Problems with a Geometry
Hello together,
I have a problem with a Geometrie. I have to make a static analysis on a given geometry. This geometry comes in the format STEP. After fusing and gluing the Part to one Shape, I can mesh it.
Now I want to analys it with CalculiX, but there are regions with elements very small an deformed elements. They are the reason of the errors I get from the solver (nonpositive Jacobian determinant).
I think the main problem is the tangential transition shown in the picture.
Now my question is, how can I solve the problem in the geometry by salome.
I tested same shape processing options, but I can't solve the problem.
Thanks for answers
Hello Maximilian
Since it's rather difficult to heal your geometry in GEOM module, the best solution is to fix your mesh by merging too close nodes (menu Modification / Transformation / Merge Modes ). If automatic mode does not provide what you need, you can manually setup nodes to merge.

Palin: 'Hillary's Brain Is Off-Limits' To Dems, But My Son Wasn't
"Hey! Hillary's brain is off-limits! Leave her health records alone!" Palin wrote in a Facebook post. "Democrats are right – scouring records of a female candidate is just politics of personal destruction, and for the media to engage in it would be unfair, unethical, and absolutely UNPRECEDENTED. You can't probe a woman like that because, well, it's a war on women!"
Palin linked to articles from Politico and Salon about rumors that circulated when she was running for vice president suggesting she wasn't the real mother of her youngest son Trig, who has down syndrome.
"Goodness, no one credible would print lies, continually harass a candidate's doctor, disrupt local hospital staff, or even offer to pay locals to give 'quotes' about her health records to be included in a 'research book' by a public university professor (your tax dollars at work?) which the candidate's attorney will need to respond to," Palin wrote.
While she ripped Democrats' "double standards" on probing into a candidate's medical history, Palin seemed to think Republicans' concerns about Clinton's health were valid. At the top of her post Palin linked to a Wall Street Journal article, via Matt Drudge, on the right's defense of raising Clinton's 2012 hospital stay over a blood clot as an issue while the former secretary of state mulls a presidential bid.
Republican strategist Karl Rove, who first suggested that Clinton may have suffered some sort of traumatic episode as the result of the fall that later landed her in the hospital, has been berated on the left for surfacing and repeatedly defending the claims about Clinton's fitness.

CASEVILLE, Mich. — Authorities in Michigan's Thumb say they stopped a 7-year-old boy who'd taken his step-father's car on a 20-mile drive to see his biological father.
The Bay City Times says officers got the boy to pull the Pontiac Sunfire over near Caseville, about 110 miles north of Detroit.
Authorities say he told the officers he was going to his father's house in Filion. It's about 13 miles north of his mother's home in Sheridan Township.
Police started looking for the car about 10:15 a.m. Monday after someone called about its youthful driver.
The boy had trouble opening the door when he finally stopped the car.
Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson says the boy's mother had worked the night shift and was unaware the boy and car were gone.

Chromeo's music often sounds like it was dropped in from a time portal to 1984, like some kind of rip in the universe immediately following "I Can't Go For That" let the band loose on our consciousness. The video for their new single, "When the Night Falls," feels like that too: It's a video in which P-Thugg and Dave-1 accidentally get women pregnant with their charm, and then get chased by the women like pregnancy turns you into a zombie (which isn't far from the truth, amirite Ladies?). But then the whole thing is a dream? And Dave-1 has to go see his kid? I'm pretty sure this was the plot of a Prince video, but I can't prove it because he takes down all his videos on YouTube. Either way, let's just enjoy the hell out of this for now.
Chromeo's Business Casual is out now.

My boss gave me his old blackberry. he used proximus (Belgium). I don't think the phone is locked (how can I see this?).
He also had a problem with in the past, this was solved but suddenly no Dutch language anymore.
I searched some on this forum and discoverd a software link (Desktop & Device Software Download Sites for BlackBerry users ) :
If you did not purchase your BlackBerry® smartphone directly from Research In Motion (RIM), please select the link to your service provider below to download the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and BlackBerry® Device Software that your service provider has authorized for use with your device.
If I understand correctly: let's say if I'm going to buy an new simcard from BASE company (a service provider in Belgium), I need to install the software corresponding to this service provider.
Does this mean that if I'm abroad (outside the country(Belgium) ) , That I can't use the phone anymore?
I need the blackberry device software to reinstall the blackberry, so Dutch language is back.
Is there a difference between those software (sorted by country) or is it only the avalaible languages that differs?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
You have several misunderstandings...so this post will be a bit long...sorry about that...

No. With the proper tricks (below), you can use any OS package from any carrier, as long as it's for your specific BB model number.
haramo wrote:

Completely unrelated.
To use your BB when off of your home carrier network, and if you want to keep your home SIM card inserted, then you must have arranged with your home carrier network for a roaming data plan, international if that's where you are roaming to.
To use your BB on a different carrier network with their SIM, you must first have unlocked your BB from it's home carrier (refer to the above for that).
Further (applies to both methods), Your BB must be compatible with the carrier data network technology and frequency...if the radio inside of your BB does not support the carrier network, then nothing will work. If it is compatible, then you should be able to receive voice-level services. But, for BB data level services, you further must be sure that your specific BB model number is supported by that carrier network for automatic HRT and Service Book delivery to your BB...if not, then you won't be able to receive BB data services.
haramo wrote:

It's actually both more and less tricky than that. Looking at all 4 octets of the OS version number, if two carriers have the same version, then the package is identical from the BB functional standpoint. However, each carrier tends to "wrap" the package they release with some carrier-specific things, but none of that is truly required...it's usually just things like teaser icons for apps that a carrier has agreed to try and push to their users. Not important.
As for language, that's not simply a matter of the carrier you choose. Rather, it's a matter of the specific OS package you choose, as governed by this KB:
haramo wrote:

OK, with all of the above out of the way now, the simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue. During the install, be sure to check deeply at all of the available apps to select for it to install...be sure to dig deeply into each multi-level item and be sure that you've selected everything that has to do with your desired language(s).
Good luck and let us know!
Thanks for the clear info.
I tried to check if phone is unlocked but have no simcard yet installed in the phone. Wil check this later.
But I think is unlocked, I have the box of the phone and nothing says that the phone is locked.
But will confirm it later.
No, I'm following your guideline to install a new OS (Dutch language). I did not to a backup of the phone, as I there is no important data on it.
I never used blackberry related apps on my windows 7 64 bit laptop, so no need to uninstall apps.
I installed the blackberry desktop software.
When I connect the blakbarry phone with my laptop, I receive a message on the phone whether or not I want to turn on mass storage mode, I said yes.
I see the blackberry phone in my device manager (windows), but blakcberry desktop software does not connect to the phone.
What can I do?
haramo wrote:

I have never known the packaging to state locked or unlocked...doesn't mean it might or might not, just that I've never seen it. The sole reliable method is as described.

So, you seemed to be reporting there what, from the instructions I provided, you were doing. Taken that way, there are several things omitted. You mention specifically only the things applicable to steps 1 and 2, but there are many more steps to conduct before attaching your BB to your computer. Do I surmise that you skipped those steps? Or do I surmise you did them? I do so dislike guessing, though...leads to so many errors.
haramo wrote:
What can I do?
If I guess that you did all of the steps correctly and the results from each were as expected, then here is the list of troubleshooting articles...hopefully something will be useful:
Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

Well , in device manager i see a question mark. Then I manually updated the driver , by browsing to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\USB Drivers. . But I receive a strange information(This operation requires an interactive windows station) and now I see a explanation mark.
I assume I first have to solve this driver issue? i'm googling it and trying things out... someone maybe a solution?
I'm trying your list you gave me...
That is extremely unusual, sometimes happened with really really old versions of the Desktop Software, but has not to my knowledge been reported in a very long time. Can you perhaps reveal exactly what you downloaded and installed from Step 3 of what I provided? As well as what you did for Steps 4 and 5? That entire thing is a process, each step requiring success of the prior, and completion of all steps before proceeding with attaching your device. From what you reveal here, I cannot tell if you've done all of the prerequisite steps, nor what the results from each are.
There is also this thread:
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Thanks and let us know.

I guess I didn't say it explicitly enough...don't connect your BB until after step 5, no matter what it says. If it asks to launch the Desktop Software, don't let it. Do all 5 (skipping steps 1 and 2, of course) steps before launching the Desktop Software or LOADER.EXE. Steps 4 and 5 are very very important...they sort of customize the Desktop Software to your specific device, which can often enable it to properly work with your device where not doing those two steps can sometimes cause the Desktop Software to not work with your device (as your situation is).
Also double-check the Desktop Software download. The latest version is "b42", but I'm not positive if that results in the same version number you cited (I'm installing it right now to find out). Further, double check the system requirements and be sure that your computer fully meets them.
OK...install complete. b42 indeed reports as 220.127.116.11, so you have the right version. During my install just now, there was one pop-up regarding an unverified driver...if you got that, please be sure you answered with the "Install Anyway" selection, otherwise something indeed might have been excluded from your install.

I have read the KB05305, but to be honest all those options , are not quite obvious to me at this moment:
language pack, wireless service provider.
Can I assume if I have an OS that supports multilanguage, all these option are also included in the OS AND are in Dutch? Why is my wireless service provider so important for the language? I mean If I'm home and connected to my house network, then if I'm at work and connected to wifi there, or hotspots, ... do I have to check wheter or not alles these network support Dutch language?
Hmmm, ... .
after instalallation OS: same problem. after restarting laptop: BB desktop software started, BB phone connected : a error on my BB phone: uncaught exception: application net_rim_bb_options_app(213) is not responding; process terminated. clicked OK, then Yes (masstorage), but still not connected to desktop software.
I closed BB desktop software ,I went to device manager and tried again to install the driver manually: this time it worked :-). and BB desktop software opens automatically and informs that I connected a new BB device.
So lets hope it the OS will be installed on the BB:
I disconnected the BB, closed the desktop software started the software and connected back the BB. nothing happens, only synchroniation symbol on the BB screen.
the BB desktop software does say which softwareversion is installed on the BB : 5.0 package 1682.
It's the same I have downloaded to install:

Our logistics is now organised from a European Distribution Centre (EDC) in charge of preparing all deliveries and making them available on loading dock. Once the EDC activity is stabilised, the reliability of our logistic services will achieve outstanding results. For example, product availability should reach 95% whereas service rate could obtain near perfection (98%). The error rate should be brought down to 5 errors out of 10,000 prepared order lines, that is to say a figure well inferior to the rate currently observed in industry.

Solar power stations do not require a connection to a power grid.
Also, many industry analysts believe we have already achieved 'peak oil' ' that point in time in which all the oil on the planet has been found and production must decline, no matter what technology we apply and no matter what else we do. In addition, the schools have a new educational tool to help introduce children to green energy.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
It's the time of year where society's noteworthy and notables appear on college campuses to congratulate and inspire the newest members of the college-educated workforce. While personal anecdotes extolling the virtues of a life well lived are always appreciated, perhaps what is really needed this year is frank advice on overcoming indebtedness.
Six months from now, the most indebted college graduating class in history will begin making and/or missing payments on their student loans. In another six months, a new record for debt-burdened alumni will be set and the cycle will repeat again.
Over the past five years, the level of student debt has almost doubled from approximately $600 billion in 2008 to over $1.1 trillion today. Student debt now exceeds all forms of other consumer debt, save for home mortgages ($9T outstanding). While aggregate measures of consumer debt have recovered to pre-crisis levels, this growth has been driven by the secular increase in student debt.
Other forms of debt, such as auto loans and credit card balances, still remain well below their pre-2008 highs . More troubling, while the delinquency rates of credit card, mortgage, auto loans, and revolving credit have shown continued year-over-year improvement since the financial crisis, student loan credit performance has deteriorated.
The looming student loan debt crisis has been a very popular topic in the press recently. Many have highlighted the substantial personal challenge this debt burden poses to a generation of 20-somethings who are largely underemployed and now, over-indebted . Even worse, this debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy court, which some have argued harkens to colonial-era indentured servitude. "Bubble" concerns have also been voiced recently, driven by fear that the large growth in credit to an underemployed demographic with arguably limited short-term prospects portends some form of future financial crisis (remember subprime anyone?).
So what exactly is driving this secular growth in student loan balances? Is this indeed a classic credit binge with misspent borrowings, or rather an investment in future productivity growth? What exactly is the credit quality of this debt, and what are the implications for the financial of significant student loan default? Ultimately what effect will this phenomenon have on our economy and financial markets?
More students, ever higher tuition, lower incomes, and accessible credit leads to higher loan balances
Part of the reason students are borrowing more today than ever before is simply because tuition costs have risen at an astonishing pace. According to a recent Bloomberg article , tuition expenses have risen some 538% since 1985. To put this in perspective, that is roughly double the gain in price of medical care, which jumped only 286%, and it dwarfs gains in the CPI inflation rate which increased a mere 121% during the same period.
Tuition increases do not fully explain the rise in debt, however. Students have not only paid more, a larger proportion of students have financed a portion of the cost. According to a December 2013 report from MeasureOne, the percentage of students using student loans increased from 34% in 2004, to over 42% by 2012 . One of the key drivers has been the weakness in the labor markets over this periodwhich has disproportionately hurt younger workers. The labor force participation rate for college-age students plummeted following the financial crisis and has yet to recover.
Students are not able to earn as much income either during college or prior to entering college, which may have offset the need for some of their borrowing. Furthermore, given the lack of job opportunities available for this age group, many are choosing to attend college rather than enter the workforce, thus increasing college enrollment and the need for borrowing. Finally, college graduates are finding it hard to find gainful employment. Lower post-graduate incomes means lower repayment rates, which in turn means higher aggregate loan balances.
One could argue that, given the poor employment prospects, enrolling in college to improve ones' skills is exactly the right path for young people. This makes sense as long as the skills gained lead to higher productivity/employment upon graduation and, for a large number of students, this is certainly true. Disturbingly though, there are indications that this will not be the case for a good portion of college grads. Job growth projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics report that only around 27% of new jobs created over the next ten years will require a degree. Additionally many graduates today are taking jobs that do not require a degree. For example, currently more than one million college grads work in retail. This seems to suggest that some of this increased 'investment' in tuition costs may not pay off, at least in the short run.
Another critical factor is the availability of loans. Student loans balances are growing because there is a lender willing to lend the capital. While growth in private loans has been stagnant, the growth in Federal loan programs has expanded tremendously since the crisis. Interest rates have remained fairly low as well. This availability of cheap credit has helped to fuel the growth in loan balances.
So is this the next bubble about to burst?
The overhang of student loan balances is expected to have a meaningful impact on the economy for some time. The magnitude of the effect is still unclear, but it will likely have both direct and indirect effects.
First, there is the risk of some sort of new credit crisis should a large proportion of these loans become delinquent. The size of these loans, at over $1T, is certainly large enough to do some damage if things go poorly. While the credit quality of private student loans has been improving, with delinquencies peaking around 8% after the crisis now falling to less than 4%, private loans remain a small portion of the overall market. Private loan underwriting follows strict credit quality guidelines, in which lending is only extended to certified schools, most require co-signers, and market interest rates are charged.
In fact, some hedge funds have recently profited from buying bonds backed by pools of private student loans that were originated around the time of the financial crisis. These bonds had sold off on fears that the credit quality would show significant deterioration due to the high levels of unemployment. However, as these pools have seasoned, the credit performance has exceeded market expectations and led to profits for bond holders.

Every once in a while, "Glee" gets it just right. The combination of singing and bizarre comedy in "Dynamic Duets" works beautifully to give us an episode that manages to be about plenty of issues while still making us laugh at the silliness of it all.
Because glee clubs aren't dorky enough
Sometimes I think these kids want to be picked on. Not that there's anything actually wrong with dressing up in tights and a cape while you pretend to be a superhero. That's kind of cool really.
It is not, however, terribly cool in high school. In fact, it's a good way to have the bullies target you.
But that doesn't happen in "Dynamic Duets." Maybe it would eventually, but the New Directions superheroes are too busy singing, fighting crime, standing up for lunch ladies, getting diagnosed with learning disorders and developing bulimia to notice.
More power to them!
Evil sends the New Directions in different directions
How fortunate is it that the superhero club happens to be meeting when someone — a laptop-leaving, Dalton blazer-wearing someone — steals the Nationals trophy? Blaine, aka Nightbird, immediately volunteers to get it back.
The Blaine story
Once again, Blaine enters the privileged halls of Dalton Academy. He is met by the evil Sebastian, who is surprisingly not the super-villain of this piece. That's because the Warblers have a new leader — Hunter Clarington. Hunter's evil is expressed through the medium of a fluffy white cat that he strokes while delivering ultimatums.
If you don't understand why this is evil, please go watch either the James Bond classic, "Dr. No," or the comedy spoof, "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery."
It turns out that stealing the trophy was only a ruse. The Warblers want Blaine back, and they will stop and nothing — nothing! — to achieve their goals. Blaine insists that he doesn't want to leave McKinley, but the Dalton boys are too smart for that. After all, without young love, why would Blaine ever leave the blazer behind?
Hunter and the evil Warblers realize this and drape the Dalton blazer over the shoulders of a resisting Blaine. The power of that outerwear and some impromptu a capella prove too much for the young man.
Blaine has crossed over to the Dark Side.
The Finn story
Finn is ready to prepare the New Directions kids for Sectionals. He has a Will Schuester sweater vest and a brilliant lesson plan: They're going to sing the music of Foreigner! In foreign languages! While wearing costumes from around the world!
Strangely, this doesn't go over as well as Finn hoped.
He turns to Coach Bieste — aka, the Beast Master — for advice. What he gets is kind of odd, to say the least. She thinks Finn ought to dress up as a superhero himself if he wants respect. Because nothing says respect quite like a grown man in tights.
But this is Finn we're talking about, so he goes with it.
And it works? Finn returns to the glee club as The Almighty Treble Clef, and announces that they will all develop superhero-themed duets. Naturally, each duet is created out of a warring pair of teens.
How will they cope???
The Marley-Kitty story
Thanks to her incredibly shrinking costume situation from last week's "Glease," Marley still thinks she is fat. This belief is encouraged by her suspiciously new BFF, Kitty. Kitty also encourages more bulimia-style vomiting as a way to shed those pounds.
Weirdly, it almost seems like Kitty really does want to be nice to Marley this week. The cheerleader decides they'll both be vixen-style heroines in tight costumes. Marley, pushover that she is, goes along with it.
In the end, both totally not-fat girls treat the glee club and the audience to a gentleman's club version of "Holding Out for a Hero."
The Jake-Ryder story
Because they are both alpha males and both desperately hot for Marley, Jake and Ryder are major foes in this episode. Unfortunately for them, they're also duet partners.
Things start off tense but amusing as both guys choose Mega-Stud as their alter ego. This leads into a fedora-wearing, striptease of a duet to REM's "Superman." Then they fight again.
Finn has had enough and decides that the only way to solve such violence is through open communication and the sharing of feelings. Each boy is forced to share his greatest fear with the other. They actually do this. Jake's fear is… being biracial? Something like that anyway. It doesn't really matter though, because Ryder's greatest fear is more important: He is dyslexic and can barely read.
Jake tells Finn about this almost immediately, which lands Ryder in special ed. He immediately gains confidence and plans to turn those grades around! Heartwarming, ain't it?
How the heroes save all the days
Ryder blows off Marley for their Friday date (because he wants to study now). A newly girl-powered Marley takes this rejection and turns it into a chance to ask out Jake instead. He is very happy about this, and we can be certain that the love triangle/square/whatever will continue.
Blaine, meanwhile, has shared his intention to return to Dalton. But no one wants him to go. Sam, in particular, begs the Dalton-bound boy to stay put. This goal is accomplished via a montage as Sam plays the guitar and sings.
But wait! What about the trophy? Blaine and Sam don masks and head off to liberate their property, where the escape is highlighted by some "Batman"-style graphics — "Bam! Slaine!" (If you don't get this one, you need to a) get better at shipper names and b) watch some classic "Batman" episodes.)
In the end, everyone is empowered and singing happily. Finn's favorite red t-shirts even make a cameo appearance as the New Directions sing us into next week.
A few quotes in parting
Artie: "Who leaves a laptop?"
Kiki, the evil Siri clone: "I think I am alive, and you are the machine."
Sebastian: "You know what goes great with a Dalton blazer? An impromptu song!"
Finn: "We need a team with a lot of gel."

Perko pair knots |
Perko pair knots
- This is a picture of the Perko pair knots. They were first thought to be separate knots, but in 1974 it was proved that they were actually the same knot.
Contents |
Basic Description
In 1899, C. N. Little published a table of 43 nonalternating knots of 10 crossings that listed the two knots shown above as being distinct. Seventy-five years later, Kenneth Perko, a lawyer and part-time mathematician, discovered that these were actually the same knot[1].To say that two knots are the same is to say that one can be deformed into the other without breaking the knot or passing it through itself. To prove that two knots are the same, we can create one of them out of actual rope, and tug at it and move it around until it looks like the other. As the story goes, that's how Perko figured out that these knots are the same - by working with rope on his floor.
We can also prove that two knots are the same by working with their projections. A projection of a knot is a flat representation of it, essentially a 2D drawing of the knot. There are many ways to use projections to show that certain knots are distinct from each other, but the main way of using projections to demonstrate that two knots are the same is to use the Reidemeister moves, which are described below.
A More Mathematical Explanation
Reidemeister moves
As was stated above, knots are considered to be the same if one can be rearra [...]Reidemeister moves
As was stated above, knots are considered to be the same if one can be rearranged into the other without breaking the string or passing it through itself. This kind of transformation is called an ambient isotopy. But when we're writing a written proof, we have to work with the knots projection, instead of the knot itself. What manipulations can we make on a knot's projection that correspond to ambient isotopies in three dimensions?
The first answer is a planar isotopy. A planar isotopy is the sort of transformation you could make if the projection of a knot was printed on very stretchy rubber. The image can be stretched in all directions, but none of the crossings are affected:
| ||||
The original image. |
These two images are planar isotopies of the original image. |
This is not a planar isotopy of the original image. |
The second answer is the Reidemeister moves, a set of three changes we can make to a knot's projection that do affect the knot's crossings but are still ambient isotopies. Every change to a knot's projection that corresponds to an ambient isotopy can be described as some combination of these three moves. In the images below, we imagine that the line segments continue and connect in some sort of unspecified knot, and only the section of the knot we're looking at changes:
Proving that the Perko knots are equivalent
In his paper "On the Classification of Knots", Kenneth Perko provided an abridged proof that the knots now known as the Perko pair are the same[2]. This proof is shown below:
Perko's proof relies on the ability of the reader to manipulate the knots in their head and verify that each projection can be manipulated to look like the next. To create a full, rigorous proof, we need to use planar isotopies and the Reidmeister moves, as described above.
Below is a step-by-step Reidemeister moves proof that follows the outline of Perko's shorter proof. The arrows between each step are labeled to show how we get from one image to the other: p.i. means we use a planar isotopy, I means we use the first Reidemeister move, II means we use the second move, and III means we use the third move. Mousing over a step will highlight the part of the knot that's about to move in pink, and display a dotted green line showing where it will move to.
Dowker notation
Dowker notation is a way of describing knots with numbers. Each crossing is labeled with two numbers, and anyone who knows the notation can reconstruct the knot by connecting the numbers in the right order[1].
Why It's Interesting
The story of the Perko knots really helps to show that mathematics, and knot theory in particular, is not limited to academics and professional mathematicians. Anyone who is interested in math and spends time studying it has the potential to discover something new and interesting, no matter what their day job is.Knot theory itself is one of the most accessible areas of math. What could be more familiar than knots? We use them every time we put on a pair of sneakers or a tie, and they're an important part of many crafts, from knitting to embroidery. Knots are also a common decorative element in artwork from many cultures. It's interesting that something so commonplace can become the object of mathematical study, and that even though the questions that mathematicians ask about knots are often simple, such as "How can we tell if two knots are the same?", the answers can turn out to be surprisingly complex.
Connections to chemistry
Interest in comparing and tabulating knots actually grew out of a mistaken theory in chemistry. In the 1880s, chemists believed that space was filled with something called ether, and Lord Kelvin proposed that different atoms were different types of knots in the ether[1].
Belief in ether soon faded, but interest in identifying and cataloging different types of knots stayed. Knot theory soon grew into its own mathematical discipline, which for a while seemed to have nothing to do with chemistry. Recently, however, scientists have begun to see that large, complicated molecules are often knotted, and it looks as thought knot theory might once again be important to chemistry.
The Perko knots are sometimes used to illustrate the point that knot theory is still a relatively young mathematical field, and that it is accessible to non-mathematicians.
