Archibald's Adventures Review
Archibald's Adventures is shining example of how to adapt a game for the iDevice's touch interface. By simplifying the traditional platformer controls and incorporating a robust puzzle system, developer Rake in Grass has managed to create a game that challenges both your physical and mental dexterity. Oh, and it's a blast to play, too!
You play as Archibald, a neighborhood kid who skateboards himself into the hazard-filled mansion of a crazy professor named Klumpfus. You get to spend the next 114 levels getting yourself out. The game has clean, hand-drawn graphics and a chill, jazzy score that compliments its lighthearted atmosphere. Don't let its childish appearance fool you though… there are plenty of diabolical puzzles in store.
The game gradually introduces a handful of distinct gameplay mechanics over the course of its seven chapters. You start with just your trusty skateboard, but soon gain access to a special bubble which can float around the level to pick up boxes, flip switches and reach areas that your character alone cannot. You will also take the reigns of a laboratory vehicle that adheres to metal surfaces and can roll up walls or across the ceiling. Lastly are the levels where you play as the Professor himself, who flies around in a jetpack chair.
Each of these play styles opens up entirely new level designs and puzzles, but at the same time, they are easy to pick up and feel like parts of an integrated whole. The controls for each are very precise and cleverly designed to stay within the iPhone's capabilities. For instance, the skateboard will automatically jump gaps if it gets three spaces of running room, eliminating the need for a separate jump button.
Most of the levels in Archibald's Adventures require you to alter the environment in some way to get from Point A to Point B, usually by moving boxes, dropping bombs and toggling switches. There are sequences that require some precise timing or movement, but they never stretch the control scheme past what it can handle, and they rarely last for long. Meanwhile, the puzzles themselves constantly require you to think in a non-linear manner and come up with new tricks. Most of the levels are pretty short, but the longer ones are filled with checkpoints–a brilliant addition to a game that often requires some trial and error.
Also, you are not required to play through all the levels in order, so if you ever get stuck somewhere you can move on and come back to the troublesome bit later. If you really get stuck in a bind, the developers have even provided YouTube videos with solutions to some of the levels for you. Along with the game's excellent tutorial, this serves to get the frustration out of the way so you can truly enjoy yourself.
Archibald's Adventures seamlessly entwines conventional platforming and puzzle solving into a coherent, polished whole, and that's not an easy thing to do. The game really has a ton of content, so it's a good value even though there's not much incentive to play through again once you're done. Overall, we were really surprised at how much fun we had with Archibald's Adventures, and we think it merits our highest recommendation.

- 2010 (4) (entfernen)
We present a two-scale finite element method for solving Brinkman's and Darcy's equations. These systems of equations model fluid flows in highly porous and porous media, respectively. The method uses a recently proposed discontinuous Galerkin FEM for Stokes' equations byWang and Ye and the concept of subgrid approximation developed by Arbogast for Darcy's equations. In order to reduce the "resonance error" and to ensure convergence to the global fine solution the algorithm is put in the framework of alternating Schwarz iterations using subdomains around the coarse-grid boundaries. The discussed algorithms are implemented using the Deal.II finite element library and are tested on a number of model problems.
This paper discusses a numerical subgrid resolution approach for solving the Stokes-Brinkman system of equations, which is describing coupled ow in plain and in highly porous media. Various scientic and industrial problems are described by this system, and often the geometry and/or the permeability vary on several scales. A particular target is the process of oil ltration. In many complicated lters, the lter medium or the lter element geometry are too ne to be resolved by a feasible computational grid. The subgrid approach presented in the paper is aimed at describing how these ne details are accounted for by solving auxiliary problems in appropriately chosen grid cells on a relatively coarse computational grid. This is done via a systematic and a careful procedure of modifying and updating the coecients of the Stokes-Brinkman system in chosen cells. This numerical subgrid approach is motivated from one side from homogenization theory, from which we borrow the formulations for the so called cell problem, and from the other side from the numerical upscaling approaches, such as Multiscale Finite Volume, Multiscale Finite Element, etc. Results on the algorithm's eciency, both in terms of computational time and memory usage, are presented. Comparison with solutions on full ne grid (when possible) are presented in order to evaluate the accuracy. Advantages and limitations of the considered subgrid approach are discussed.
Modeling of species and charge transport in Li-Ion Batteries based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics (2010)
In order to improve the design of Li ion batteries the complex interplay of various physical phenomena in the active particles of the electrodes and in the electrolyte has to be balanced. The separate transport phenomena in the electrolyte and in the active particle as well as their coupling due to the electrochemical reactions at the interfaces between the electrode particles and the electrolyte will inuence the performance and the lifetime of a battery. Any modeling of the complex phenomena during the usage of a battery has therefore to be based on sound physical and chemical principles in order to allow for reliable predictions for the response of the battery to changing load conditions. We will present a modeling approach for the transport processes in the electrolyte and the electrodesbased on non-equilibrium thermodynamics and transport theory. The assumption of local charge neutrality, which is known to be valid in concentrated electrolytes, is explicitly used to identify the independent thermodynamic variables and uxes. The theory guarantees strictly positive entropy production. Dierences to other theories will be discussed.
Numerical modeling of electrochemical process in Li-Ion battery is an emerging topic of great practical interest. In this work we present a Finite Volume discretization of electrochemical diffusive processes occurring during the operation of Li-Ion batteries. The system of equations is a nonlinear, time-dependent diffusive system, coupling the Li concentration and the electric potential. The system is formulated at length-scale at which two different types of domains are distinguished, one for the electrolyte and one for the active solid particles in the electrode. The domains can be of highly irregular shape, with electrolyte occupying the pore space of a porous electrode. The material parameters in each domain differ by several orders of magnitude and can be non-linear functions of Li ions concentration and/or the electrical potential. Moreover, special interface conditions are imposed at the boundary separating the electrolyte from the active solid particles. The field variables are discontinuous across such an interface and the coupling is highly non- linear, rendering direct iteration methods ineffective for such problems. We formulate a Newton iteration for an purely implicit Finite Volume discretization of the coupled system. A series of numerical examples are presented for different type of electrolyte/electrode configurations and material parameters. The convergence of the Newton method is characterized both as function of nonlinear material parameters as well as the nonlinearity in the interface conditions.

News travels fast, not to be a Debbie Downer but I'm already over it, only because everyone on Twitter blew it up way too much! So I only felt right when taking on this assignment, to get it off my mind and out of the way until photos are released and I go crazy. But we all know that any press, especially free press is awesome. Well, two days ago I saw something through someone's Twitter page about how the Swedish fashion dress-for-less go to spot is teaming with one of the most influential high fashion brands of the 21st century. Lucky for us because;
H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public.
Bravo! Lanvin is the latest brand to collaborate with H&M, with previous collections designed by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Comme des Garçons and Sonia Rykiel. In a new twist, the Lanvin for H&M collec tion will be revealed to the world through a special film which will be launched on November 2, and will be hitting 200 out of the 2000 stores! Hopefully it will hit at a store near you!
"We are thrilled about Lanvin's collection for H&M, it is such an exciting moment. Lanvin will bring to H&M a luxurious French tradition that is also modern and playful. It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men. The launch in November is going to be full of wonderful surprises." Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M.

Among Asia's most influential countries - Korea's culture spans more than 5,000 years and counts nine UNESCO cultural heritage sites. It is one of the top exporters of pop culture around the world and is a trending culinary destination.
Korea enjoyed a four percent increase in American arrivals last year compared to 2012: a total of 720,000 visited Korea in 2013; 46 percent fell into the VFR category (visiting friends and relatives), 32% were business travelers and the remaining 22% were leisure travelers.
With 141 direct, non-stop flights from the U.S. and 31 one-stop flights, access is smooth. From Seoul, travelers can reach more than 35 major Asian cities: both Beijing and Tokyo are just a two-hour flight from Seoul. Asiana introduced its first A380 on May 30 and initially deployed the aircraft on short-haul routes from Seoul to Tokyo Narita and Hong Kong on June 13. Its second A380 will arrive at the end of July will operate on long-haul routes to Los Angeles in August 2014.
For those fascinated by Korea's modern history, Korail, the Korea Railroad Corporation, announced that it will operate a special "DMZ-Train" tour that will run between Seoul Station and Dorasan Station, the closest train station to 38th parallel, which marks the most heavily militarized border in the world. The reopening of the lines began May 4 and will run twice a day. Tickets are available at each station.
Hotel Developments
Starwood will open The Parnas, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul in 2016, making it the first Luxury Collection property in Korea. The hotel will have 138 guestrooms, 24 of which will be suites. The property will also house a restaurant, specialty bar, and lobby lounge. JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts has expanded its luxury portfolio in Korea with the unveiling of the new 170-room JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul in February 2014. The new hotel is the second JW Marriott to open in Seoul and the first hotel in the city to receive LEED Gold certification.
Seoul: Design City
A good place to begin exploring Korea is its capital of Seoul. A short list of must-sees include the five Royal Palaces, Busan, Korea's second largest city and principal port, Gyeonju, the capital of the Silla Dynasty for 1,000 years, and if time allows, a visit to Jeju Island, Korea's largest island and the one Natural Heritage site as designated by UNESCO. Travel agents may recall that Jeju hosted ASTA's IDE in 2007.
Better known as a city pulsing to an inordinately technological rhythm and an ethos of long working days, today Seoul's numerous neighborhoods are open 24/7, its design sensibility has finally been recognized as UNESCO designated it one of eight Cities of Design in 2010 and it is fast appearing on Where to Go Next lists such as in the New York Times' index of desirable destinations and Wallpaper's Best Cities series.
Source of the latest cultural buzz word - Korean Wave - Seoul's pop culture has sparked an explosion of interest in its TV shows, boy-girl bands, and movies, all of which is supported by the city's Digital Media Broadcasting ability, a technology that enables high definition television broadcasts to be sent to mobile phones, the best conduit for spreading the phenomenon.
Conversely, travelers may want to experience non-verbal performance arts, something Korea excels at: B-boy dance performances, Korea's traditional martial arts of Taekwondo and Taekkyeon, and "samullori" that features traditional percussion instruments and dynamic dances.
Taekwondowon has been described as a place for practicing "change" with the aim of cultivating the spirit of taekwondo. Some 45 training and experience hands-on programs are offered and are open to anyone who is interested in training the mind and the body through taekwondo, including business groups, students, and the general public.
Innovation & Style Now
Surging forward are a half dozen major projects not the least of which involve Seoul's natural attractions as well as its urban spaces: the Namsan Renaissance, the Hangang Renaissance and the Street Renaissance.
Daniel Libeskind is now designing the Yongsan financial district, to be completed in 2016, while Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid's Dongdaemun Design Plaza & Park will open this year, which promises to infuse the urban center with rolling grass-covered roofs within the city's largest shopping and business district.
Seoul will soon debut the Floating Island project, the world's largest and the first equipped with an aquatic convention center, facilities for cultural performances and sports events. Set on Hangang River around Banpo Hangang Park, more than half the facilities are free so the public can take in concerts and dine with the Hangang as the dramatic backdrop.
Selected as 2010's World Design Capital, Seoul hosted the Design Olympiad, attracting some three million visitors with Rem Koolhaas' shape-changing Transformer pavilion for Prada. Three of the world's hottest contemporary architects designed others: Alessandro Mendini from Italy, Daniel Libeskind from the U.S. and Kim Seok-Chul from Korea. The Seoul Design Market featured more than 200 young international designers.
Non-Stop Shopping & Art
What booming metropolis does not have its own brand of power shopping? Fashionistas experiment on Apgujeong-dong, which some say beats Myeong-dong for "fashion street" status while Cheongdam-dong is crammed with local fashion designers' shops, and galleries. Wallpaper dubs "landmark shopping status" to Rena Dumas's gilded block for Hermes, and Ann Demeulemeester's burrow-like store and UNStudio's seminal Galleria Department Store.
Be sure to book the spectacular light shows at N-Seoul Tower, 63 City's 60th Floor and the Bampo Bridge -- six of the many bridges on the Hangang River with observatory cafes that afford incredible nightscapes.
Lanterns at traditional markets sway with all-night dining and shopping, supported by a vibrant cafe scene that lines streets with enough caffeine to keep even the most avid nightbird wired long enough to roam into a big multi-level luxury department stores and shop until the sun comes up.
The Nature of Seoul
Ringed by eight towering mountains, the Han River, in the throes of its own riverfront renaissance, courses through Seoul's more than 600-year history juxtaposed with its modern profile, its top 10 global city status, and is home to more than 10 million people.
Walking tours of Jongmyo Shrine lend a glimpse of modernity and tradition; the Samcheong-dong district; the picturesque traditional quarter of Bukchon Hanok Village; and Insa-dong.
An outdoor elevator to the Namsan Cable car from the base of Namsan Mountain up to the Namsan Tower gives an overview of Seoul's four UNESCO World Heritage Sites that cannot be missed: Changdeokgung, Hwaseong Fortress, Jongmyo Shrine and the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty.
Amid striking contemporary structures such as the Leeum Samsung Museum of Art or Tangent, the HQ of Hyundai Development Corporation, step into the city's vibrant past at Gyeongbokgung Palace to watch the changing of the guard, or a thrilling taekwando demonstration. The Changdeokgung or "Palace of Prospering Virtue," the residence of 13 kings over three centuries, is one of Seoul's most beautiful.
Recent arrivals include the Templum spa, designed by Claudio Silvestrin and Giuliana Salmaso, an ultra-new pampering spot with a rooftop pool. Or, for something totally traditional, visit Dawon, one of Seoul's oldest teahouses, to stop, look, listen and sip steaming daechu cha, jujube tea, and let all of the very new and the very old Seoul leave its mark on your travel soul.

Thanks for these thoughts. It was my first visit to the Games, and I loved it. I really liked how you could walk right up to the edge of the seats by the Athletes' Village and watch the athletes up close. A bit like exotic animals in a zoo. That's pretty cool for a fan.ReplyDelete
Any insight into why HQ chooses to spread Regionals across several weekends?
Blair, you continue to impress me with your powers to observe and communicate. Godspeed brother!ReplyDelete

Awesome thoughts Blair! I was wondering what your thoughts were about the team side of competition at the Games, with the programming, athletes, and environment? What differences did you see with the team side of competition and the individual side?ReplyDeleteReplies
@logan, i absolutely loved the team competition. never really had the chance to watch much of it before this year and i found it riveting. the 400 relay was sick, and the sled drive brutal. i think it was a good change to force all 6 members to compete in all events. made things less about specialists and more about top to bottom fitness. the team event requires a lot more strategy than the individual, which is also cool. it also relies on smaller timing elements between transitions and rest that are absent from the individual side.Delete
Thanks for the write up. I agree with the concept of doing the Regionals simultaneously but wonder whether the equipment demands have been too onerous.ReplyDeleteReplies
equipment would be tough, but i suspect the community would rise to pick up the slack if needed. rogue would have to outfit the sites with rigs and the big stuff. but boxes, bumpers, bars, etc could come from local affiliates. the bigger hang up is money. as it stands now, the various sponsors and vendors have the opportunity to move around to multiple regions. doing it this way means that the regionals generate a lot more revenue if done on different weekends, as the same vendors pay repeatedly for the right to set up their tents.Delete
Great writeup, I've been searching for some blog posts that "cover" the Games and stumbled across yours. I've been looking for some analysis of the Games, both positive and negative, but have been really surprised how little coverage there is outside of the Games site itself.ReplyDelete
Great points though on the programming of Regionals and the quality of the presentation as a whole.

MACON, Ga. (AP) - An American supplier was sentenced to more than three years in prison for shipping fighter jet and attack helicopter parts to help repair Iran's aging aircraft fleet.
Michael Todd of Macon also was sentenced Wednesday to pay more than $100,000 in restitution.
Todd apologized to the court and said he didn't intend to threaten national security with his actions. But prosecutors said his decision put America's military at risk, and a federal judge said he agreed.
Todd pleaded guilty in June to conspiring to illegally export fighter jet and attack helicopter parts from the U.S. to Iran. A second man, Hamid Seifi of Chicago, was already sentenced to more than four years in prison for his role.
The indictment puts the Macon supplier at the nexus of the plot to export military parts for the Bell AH-1 attack helicopter, the UH-1 Huey attack helicopter and fighter jets to Iranian military officials through other suppliers in Europe and the Middle East.

NEWPORT, R.I. - Senior Maxwell Shubert (West Chester, Pa.) intercepted a pass on the opening play from scrimmage and returned it 36 yards for a touchdown, setting the tone for a 45-7 victory by Salve Regina over Nichols College on Senior Day during the Seahawks' New England Football Conference (NEFC) regular season finale at Gaudet Field on Saturday. With the win, the Seahawks capture their first NEFC Boyd Division title since the 2000 campaign, improving to 9-1 overall, including a 6-1 mark during division play. They now advance to face Framingham State on the road next Saturday in the NEFC Championship game. The Bison close out their season with a 1-9 record, falling to 1-6 in the Boyd Division.
Prior to the contest, the Seahawks honored seniors Richard Burke (Whitman, Mass.), Brendan Deasy (Quincy, Mass.), Gregory Gosselin (Kingston, Mass.), Nick Habosian (Westford, Mass.), Anthony Hannon (Orange, Calif.), Kevin Hilliard (North Reading, Mass.), Nick Hristis (Bayside, N.Y.), Adam Iskra (North Haven, Conn.), Keith Johnson (Durham, Conn.), Michael Kane (Peekskill, N.Y.), Daniel Kehew (Portsmouth, R.I.), Connor Kelly(Milford, Conn.), Ryan Mannion (Danbury, Conn.), Matthew Markese West Hartford, Conn.), Kevin Moore (Yonkers, N.Y.), Ken Okwuosa (North Haven, Conn.), Lukas Oczkowski (Oxford, Conn.), Bryant Ostrander (Longmeadow, Mass.), William Regan(Amesbury, Mass.), Trey Scales (Boston, Mass.), Maxwell Shubert, Gregory Sweeney(Fairfield, Conn.), and Stephen Tomaselli (Franklin Square, N.Y.) before playing in their final home game.
Offensively, sophomore Steven Wilken (Ringwood, N.J.) was an efficient 7-of-15 for 107 yards and three touchdowns through the air, while sophomore runningback Dan Buonocore (Mahwah, N.J.) led all players with 117 rushing yards on just 13 carries (9.0 ypc). Freshman Derrick Sarfo-Darko (East Hartford, Conn.) caught a pair of 19-yard touchdowns, while sophomore Matthew Traynor (Secaucus, N.J.) added a pair of receptions for 37 yards and a score.
Senior Connor Kelly led the Seahawk defense with a team-high seven tackles, including four stops for a loss. Maxwell Shubert, junior Joshua Burnett (Whitman, Mass.), sophomore Frank Musco (Montvale, N.J.) each recorded interceptions, while Stephen Tomaselli led all players with 1.5 sacks on the day.
Junior Pat Viencek (Bernardston, Mass.) led the Bison offense, completing 13-of-34 passes for 231 yards and one touchdown, while classmate Joe Lambert (New Haven, Conn.) led all players with four catches for 98 yards in the loss. Junior Dylan Rimsky (Denville, N.J.) also had a good day, grabbing four passes for 54 yards, including a 18-yard touchdown grab.
On defense, the Bison received a game-high 12 tackles from sophomore Julon McCoy (Gerdner, Mass.) who also added a sack. Senior Peter Curto (Braintree, Mass.) chipped in with 10 tackles and a sack of his own, while sophomore Kris Williams (East Hartford, Conn.) had three stops and an interception on the afternoon.
The Seahawks took an early 7-0 lead when Shubert intercepted the first play from scrimmage and raced 36-yards for the score after just 20 seconds of play.
After the Bison and Seahawks traded three-and-outs on the following two possessions, Nichols took over at their own 22 yard line and drove 58 yards on seven plays down to the Salve Regina 20. However, the drive came to end when Musco jumped a pass at his own one yard line, taking the interception back to the nine before fumbling to the Salve Regina 11 where it was recovered by William Regan for the Seahawks.
The Seahawks made the most of the turnover, marching 89 yards on just eight plays, capped by a 19-yard touchdown pass from Wilken to Sarfo-Darko, giving Salve Regina a 14-0 advantage with 6:22 remaining in the opening quarter.
The Seahawks held the Bison to a three-and-out on their next possession, forcing Nichols to punt from their own 23 yard line. That's when freshman Alex Hulme (Hopkinton, Mass.) broke through the line, blocked the punt at the 15, recovered the ball at the 10, and then raced into the endzone to put Salve Regina on top, 21-0 heading into the second quarter.
The Bison went three-and-out on their first possession on the second quarter, and after a bad snap on the punt led to a completed pass and failed fourth-down conversion, the Seahawks took over at the NC 23.
The Seahawks wasted little time taking advantage of their good field position as Wilken once again hooked-up with Sarfo-Darko for a 19-yard touchdown pass on a third-and-six play to push the SRU lead to 28-0.
It appeared that would be the score heading into halftime, however, the Seahawks called timeout with just six seconds remaining in the period to force the Bison to punt from their own 18 yard line. Once again, the Seahawks blocked the punt, as sophomore Matt Conroy (Philadelphia, Pa.) sliced through the line and stuffed the kick. Hulme recovered the ball on the one yard line and went into the end zone for his second blocked punt returned for a touchdown of the half, sending the Seahawks into the locker room holding a commanding 35-0 lead.
The Seahawks came out of the break and put the game away on their opening possession of the second half. Buonocore got things going with a 58-yard run down to the Nichols 10, before Wilken capped the 68 yard drive with a nine yard touchdown pass to Traynor in the right corner, pushing the lead to 42-0.
The Bison finally got on the board with 8:27 remaining in the third, driving 79 yards on six plays, including an 18-yard touchdown grab by Rimsky from Viencek to close the gap to 42-7.
However, it wasn't enough, as the Seahawks added a 32-yard field goal by senior Brendan Deasy to seal the 45-0 victory.
Salve Regina will return to action next Saturday, when they travel to face Framingham State in the NEFC Championship game.

I didn't see a "general" sub-forum, so opted for "Newbie Questions": really, this is an introduction, since I played a couple of demo games of Triumph! at Historicon, courtesy of Terence. My son (11) and I had a grand time crushing each other, and quickly picking up the rules. As a former DBx player it was nice to push some historical lead once again. So now I've got the rules, the terrain cards, and loads of DBx armies that will be re-purposed as Triumph! troops. I hope to have some Anglo-Saxons ready for Fall In!

I know the performance was better when I was using vdr-1.3.22. I know I had 9 recordings going on and still I was able to watch a previous recording and I was using a slower cpu and a ff card. Ofcourse my recent test does prove your point, hence the question "what is the best combination of hw and sw?".On 01 Feb 2007 Reinhard Nissl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Heikki Manninen wrote:I've noticed that earlier when I was using PIII 550 MHz and vdr 1.3.22 (or something about) I made a test by recording nine channels simultaneously and watching a recording at the same time.

Now when I have vdr 1.4.4 after fourth recording starts vdr becomes sluggish and there starts to come errors on log:dvb-ttpci: warning: timeout waiting in LoadBitmapwhen pushing menu button. And ofcourse no menu appears or menu appears only partly.Exactly the same thing here and with the latest and the second latest firmware. My FF 2.1 TT card starts to die after third simultaneous recording. But then again, I think that budget cards are much better in this area.Most likely, it's me who has to be blamed. Around 1.3.27, cVideoRepacker was introduced which has an impact on CPU load. This could be a reason why the menu is slow when running several recordings at the same time.I don't think that the problem is related to anything on VDR side. AFAIK the bandwidth from ARM to PCI bus is very limited on full-featured cards. With 3 recordings being transfered to VDR there is simply not enough bandwidth left for the OSD transfers. Hence the LoadBitmap timeout. I experience the problem since VDR introduced concurrent recordings and I cannot believe that there is any VDR / firmware combination which doesn't show this behaviour as it's IMO a hardware limitation. Budget cards doesn't have this limitation, they can transfer the full transponder without problems.

China's slowing growth and market rout may dominate news flow, but the nation's transition from an investment-led economy to one driven by services and consumption is also worthy of investors' attention, says Kunjal Gala, Senior Analyst at Hermes Emerging Markets, who recently visited the country on a research trip.
New v old: In Q3 the Shanghai Composite fell 24.7%, exports continued to fall and growth slowed, darkening the top-down outlook. But positive data highlighting China's economic transition also emerged: weakness in the heavy industries of the north is being offset by the strengthening consumer goods and services sector, which is expected to grow faster than others in the coming years. In September, consumer sentiment hit a 15-month high, showing resilience amid the market decline, and CPI inflation reached a 12-month peak during the month, mitigating fears of incipient deflation.
The income effect: The still-buoyant growth of urban areas is a key driver of consumption. According to the National Development and Reform Commission, 9.5m new jobs were created in the year to August, equivalent to 95% of the annual target[1]. This should support consumer spending: in 2014, urban disposable income per capita grew 7%, contributing to a 10.8% rise in urban consumption expenditure per capita[2]. On the ground, travel accessories manufacturer Samsonite said that products catering to the travel and tourism industry enjoyed by increasingly wealthy Chinese consumers are in demand, even amid the current market volatility. A BMW dealer in Shanghai said that sales of its high-end cars, too, are strong and the company is ahead of its targets for the year.
Sophisticated demand: The evolving demands of Chinese shoppers are also enabling related industries to expand and become more diverse. For instance, people now look beyond Coca-Cola in favour of newer products, such as energy and protein drinks. Such segmentation not only provides opportunities for new product lines, but also for businesses in supply chains, such as packagers. E-commerce is bringing more products to consumers, too: the penetration rate of online retail businesses surpassed that of the US in 2012, and online sales are expected to grow from 7.9% of total sales in 2013 to 12.4% in 2017. The impact of e-commerce is particularly high in the consumer goods sector, rising from 51.7% to 56.2% of total consumer good sales between March and December 2014[3].
Widening the net: But the consumer revolution is yet to truly march on rural areas. There are some signs of increasing consumption in these areas: net income per capita has risen consistently year-on-year and gained 11.2% in 2014, while consumer expenditure per capita in rural areas increased 14.8% between 2010 and 2013[4]. However, e-commerce has struggled to reach rural areas, with only 6.4% of households shopping online in 2013[5]. According to the Chinese businesses I met, better social security would facilitate this, as the safety nets in cities are far stronger than those in villages. A broader social security net is important to consumption as state-owned enterprise reform is likely to result in redundancies while the Chinese economy transitions to higher-value-added manufacturing.
Ensuring growth: Wages have risen dramatically in China over the past decade. But as the global economy slows and limits the appetite for low-end Chinese exports, it is imperative that China transitions to more advanced manufacturing to help sustain its economy and, crucially, consumption. This is something that Premier Li Keqiang advocated earlier this year and we found that a number of companies are increasingly adopting automation, robotics, online-to-offline commerce and advanced manufacturing to upgrade their operations.
Consumer solutions: We have written before about leading businesses such as Tencent and China Mengniu Dairy, both of which we met with recently and still view positively. We also visited logistics business Shenzhen International, at its South China Logistics Park. The company aims to benefit from rising consumption in China by converting the park from a pure logistics hub into a mixed-used space; it already has Jeep and Tesla sales outlets. This is not a one-off project, as Shenzhen International is building several new mixed-use parks. It recognises the opportunities created by rising consumption: the new facilities will offer cost savings to businesses currently burdened with the expense of using outdated networks while also benefiting from the growing e-commerce sector, which requires more complex logistics than bricks-and-mortar operations. The company is modernising its export-oriented infrastructure in order to serve the demands of the new China.
Behind the market volatility, Chinese consumers continue to spend, and we have found companies serving these customers that show robust growth. The Chinese consumer revolution may be adapting to the times by shifting online, but it is still marching on.

Wilderness Expeditions offers bushwalking treks and expeditions in Tropical Queensland. They use pack donkeys to carry equipment and supplies. Treks may be themed to retrace the earliest explorers, pioneers or visit rock art sites and ghost towns; and can be overnight or extended to suit your requirements.
Their donkeys enable exploration of remote and rugged areas of Cape York and the Atherton Tablelands of Far North Queensland in comfort. The pack teams carry basic camp furniture and your luggage. Trekkers do not need to carry heavy backpacks. During their walks they encounter wildlife, observe many species of birds and swim in crocodile free wild rivers. The donkeys add a further dimension to your adventure as hardworking, loveable companions
They continue the traditions of Australian packing methods used by explorers, drovers and miners for hundreds of years. They specialise in finding places little visited by others, so they enjoy their own space.
Wilderness Expeditions' treks have been developed during 12 years of operation. They use good quality, insect proof tents; beds and other camp furniture. Tasty meals are cooked over open fires using authentic camp ovens.
Their treks are an authentic experience of natural travel in the Australian bush and outback.
This pack donkey expedition authentically retraces part of Leichhardt's route from Valley of Lagoons and the headwaters of the mighty Burdekin River, across the Great Dividing Range and along rugged gorges along the Lynd River. Ludwig Leichhardt was the first European overland explorer of Northern Australia. He traversed from Brisbane to Victoria Settlement (North of Kakadu) in 1844 -1845. He and his party disappeared during a later attempt to cross Australia from East to West in 1848.
Leichhardt used horses and pack bullocks. Travelling in similar fashion, Wilderness Expeditions donkey pack team will carry their supplies and equipment.
A copy of his journal and his field notes will be taken, from which comparisons of his and this journey can be made.
The trek is offered annually as a complete 28 day expedition or three discrete shorter sections:
• The Land of The Lotus Eaters (eight days),
• Search Over The Ranges (six days) and
• Descent of the Lynd (14 days).
Sections may be booked separately or in combination.
This trek is fully guided, trained pack donkeys to carry luggage, food and camp furniture. The fare includes meals, limited red wine with dinner, use of camping gear and connecting transport.
Edmund Kennedy was the second European overland explorer of North Queensland. Of 12 men that landed with Kennedy, nine perished and Kennedy died of spear wounds at the Escape River. Jacky Jacky, his Aboriginal guide, William Goddard and William Carron were the only survivors. Trek dates are set on anniversary dates of the original 1848 journey.
This trek retraces Kennedy's route from near Mount Garnet (Camp XXIX) over the Great Dividing Range into the headwaters of Emu Creek. There will be time to visit the Emuford Stamper Battery which remains in the turn of the century operating condition. They will pause to resupply and adjust their party at Emu Creek Station, the site of a landmark recorded on Kennedy's maps and home to elusive rock wallabies.
Then follow down the Walsh through the ironically named "Featherbed Ranges", the walls of several enormous prehistoric calderas. Spend a rest day at some hot springs surrounded by rugged ranges. They will finish at Camp XLII, close to the Bourke Development Road, transfer to Chillagoe's Observatory and Eco-lodge to settle back into civilisation overnight. There will be an opportunity to explore some of Chillagoe's sights. Celebrate at dinner. Transfer to Cairns the following morning.
Australia's favourite adventure writer, Ion Idriess, briefly lived in the Herberton area before World War One. The Jungleman's Walkabout trek explores an adventure described by Idriess in his book "Back O' Cairns" published in 1957, from his diaries compiled some 46 years earlier.
The Cairns Railway had advanced to Herberton, John Moffat's mining empire was reaching it's peak, and new towns were springing up as new mineral wealth was discovered. The Jungle Man invites Idriess to explore this bonanza "then we can follow right up the divide, and drop down on Stannary Hills or Irvinebank. An easy walk...."
Over a thousand pack mules toiled throughout the region.
The building from which Idriess purchased his notebooks is still on the same street corner in Herberton, but now houses a unique camera museum. Remains of mining endeavours reported by Idriess are scattered along the way. Irvinebank is no longer the exciting and busy industrial centre he records, but a quaint remnant hidden in the hills.
This walk retraces disused pack tracks, explores the Wild River Gorge, visits a rock art gallery, provides views over rugged ranges, including the Dargo Range (1400 metres) and an opportunity to explore Loudon House Museum in Irvinebank.
This trek is named for the packers and drivers of the thousands of horses, mules and bullocks that plied the "Back O' Cairns" before motor trucks took over the carriage of ore, machinery and goods. This trek uses old pack and dray routes to visit ghost towns that came and went with the discoveries of mineral wealth.
From Herberton return, via Rocky Bluffs, Montalbion, Irvinebank and Lancelot, a circuit of some 90 kilometres. Swim at the geological anomaly- Natural Bridge, and admire views from the Dargo Range before plummeting into Silver valley. There will be time to quench thirsts at the Irvinebank Tavern and visit the Loudoun House Museum, once the family home of John Moffat, North Queensland's own mining magnate. An inspection of a rock art gallery in Silver Valley and a search for platypus along the Wild River during the final day.
Pack donkeys carry your luggage, food and camping gear. Sleep under the stars on a bed in an insect proof "Mossie Dome". Bring your own sleeping bag, or hire one for a nominal cleaning fee. Fully guided,with a carefully researched commentary on natural and pioneer histories that they pass.
This is an introductory two-day walk along the Wild River following cattle and brumby pads, winding through impressive "old man" Forest Red Gums. There are opportunities to observe platypus along the river and at the campsite. The bird list for this area is 127 species.
Two days, one night camping, fully guided by an experienced donkey packer. The pack donkeys carry your luggage, food and camping gear. Sleep on a bed, under the stars in an insect proof "Mossie Dome" tent or use the fly-sheet in cooler weather. Sleeping bags can be provided at a nominal hire to cover cleaning or bring your own. A hot shower in nature's bathroom can taken pioneer style using traditional shower bucket, or enjoy a swim before dinner.
A tasty dinner is cooked over an open fire using traditional Bedourie camp ovens and served with a glass or two of wine. A short walk to gain an understanding of local geology history and ecology of the area follows a cooked breakfast of bacon and muffins. Return via the same route with lunch along the track.
A three day, two night walk, an extension of the Wild River Ramble:
Day One. Meet and finalise the packing of the donkeys. Then a short day though river flats and stands of Forest Red Gums to camp at "Bullocks Crossing" on the Wild River. They will have some time to explore the local history, settle into their camping routine, and perhaps be fortunate to witness the platypus in the waterhole next to the camp.
Day Two, after repacking the donkeys, they follow an original packing road to the "Triple Tree" campsite with a short morning tea en-route. Hidden on a bend on the Wild River, this pristine campsite is unknown to others. They enjoy a late lunch then have time to explore the cataracts and swim in the many clear pools.
Day Three. Rejoin the pack road to detour around the Wild River Gorge, boil a billy at a spring, and then push on to lunch at a waterhole at The Junction. See an example of bush engineering - a water race built at the turn of the century; and enjoy a final swim before a vehicle transfers trekkers to Kalinvale through the historic mining area of Silver Valley.

Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid and Siblings to Be Cancelled
- GM to cancel hybrid versions of Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade
- Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid sold only 533 units last year
- Hybrid models not likely to be replaced
Shoppers interested in a hybrid SUV don't have many choices -- and soon, they'll have even fewer. General Motors recently announced it's pulling the plug on hybrid versions of the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade.
The SUVs' poor sales are the primary reason for GM's decision. Last year, Chevrolet sold just over 500 Tahoe Hybrids, compared to nearly 70,000 Tahoe models overall. The numbers weren't much better for the Escalade Hybrid and Yukon Hybrid, which combined for around 1,200 sales out of more than 40,000 total.
GM is also canceling its full-size hybrid SUVs because the models are due for a redesign. The Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade are all based on GM's full-size pickup chassis, which is all-new for 2014. That means new versions of the SUVs are close behind. Because hybrid sales were so slow, GM probably felt the SUVs weren't worth the effort to update.
Several factors contributed to slow sales of the Tahoe Hybrid and its siblings. One was price: While the Tahoe starts around $41,000, the Hybrid is closer to $54,000. The Escalade Hybrid commands a similar premium, starting at nearly $75,000.
Fuel economy was also an issue. The base-level Tahoe returns 15 miles per gallon city and 21 mpg on the highway, while the Tahoe Hybrid reaches 20 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. The increase was hardly enough to justify the added expense for many shoppers.
But there's still hope for drivers interested in a full-size hybrid SUV. Chevrolet says the hybrid models will still be offered in a shortened 2014 model year before the all-new 2015 Tahoe arrives. And a quick search on AutoTrader.com reveals dozens of new Tahoe Hybrid models available at Chevrolet dealerships across the country.
Once the Tahoe Hybrid and its siblings are gone for good, shoppers won't have many hybrid SUV choices. The only remaining models will be the Lexus RX 450h, Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Audi Q5 Hybrid, Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid. The Highlander Hybrid is the least expensive, though its base price is still nearly $41,000.
What it means to you: The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid and its siblings didn't quite offer the pricing and fuel economy shoppers were searching for.

It is not secret and we're super happy to share a recipe. Swedish Christmas Ham ('Julskinka') is made special by its mustard crumb topping. It's really delicious – it adds texture and crunch and a lovely tang from the mustard. You only add the topping before you serve, so first you need to get yourself a cooked ham. We sell the real Swedish hams ready cooked – and ready to eat. Delicious, lovely and succulent – perfect for your Swedish Christmas Julbord. If you are using a pre-cooked ham, first open the packet, then remove the netting. Then clean up the ham by cutting away the fat layer on top – this can take a little while, so be patient and use a good sharp knife. Once the fat layer has been removed, place the ham on your oven tray. In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg 3 large tbsp coarse Swedish mustard – we prefer our own wholegrain mustard 1 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 30g dry breadcrumbs Once combines, spread the paste all over the top of the ham. Once you have an even layer on top, add another 20-30g breadcrumbs evenly across the topping. Pop the ham under the grill for about 15 minutes – but watch carefully so that the topping cooks, but does not burn. Swedish ham is served cold or just a bit warm, so no need to worry too much about heating up the whole ham. Serve whole on the Julbord Christmas table – and slice as needed. Serve with a good sweet coarse mustard with bite – and of course Smorgasgurka pickles.

Wind Project Spill Cleaned Up
SHEFFIELD, VT - An oil leak from a turbine on the Sheffield Wind Project now under construction has been cleaned up, according to a spokesperson for First Wind, the Boston, MA, company developing the project. Officials are blaming the leak on a mechanical problem. A tube inside a gear box leaked about 55 gallons of oil. The leak was discovered on Saturday. First Wind sought help from an environmental clean-up group from St. Johnsbury.The turbine is one of 16 recently installed for the wind project, which is nearing completion. John Lamontagne with First Wind said that the other 15 turbines have been inspected and no problems were found.According to reports by Chuck Schwer, head of the state's spill management program, most of the oil spilled on the turbine itself and the gravel pad around it, but a small amount traveled and some sprayed out about 200 yards. No oil was discovered in water sources.Each turbine holds about 110 gallons of hydraulic and lubricating oil, according to reports.Robert Pforzheimer of Sutton, a critic of all wind turbine projects, called the Clipper turbines used by First Wind "junk."Lamontagne said that although there have been some mechanical problems with other Clipper turbines installed by First Wind, the company remains confident about the equipment.

This series consists of weekly discussion sessions on foundations of quantum Theory and quantum information theory. The sessions start with an informal exposition of an interesting topic, research result or important question in the field. Everyone is strongly encouraged to participate with questions and comments.
In my talk, I will discuss various families of quantum
low-density parity check
(LDPC) codes and their fault tolerance. Such codes yield finite code rates and
at the same time
simplify error correction and encoding due to low-weight stabilizer
generators. As an example, a large family of
Until fairly recently, it
was generally assumed that the initial state of a quantum system prepared for information processing was in a product state with its environment. If this is the case,
the evolution is described by a completely positive map. However, if the system and environment are initially correlated, or entangled, such that the so-called quantum discord is non-zero, then the
I will discuss two
generalizations of Kochen-Specker (KS) sets: projective KS sets and generalized
KS sets. We will see that projective KS sets can be used to characterize all
graphs for which the chromatic number is strictly larger than the quantum
chromatic number. Here, the quantum chromatic number is defined via a nonlocal
game based on graph coloring. We will further show that from any graph with
separation between these two quantities, one can construct a classical channel
We discuss the extension of the smooth entropy formalism to arbitrary physical systems with no bound on the number of degrees of freedom, comparing them with already existing notions of entropy for infinite-dimensional systems.
When two independent analog signals, $X$ and $Y$ are added together giving $Z=X+Y$, the entropy of $Z$, $H(Z)$, is not a simple function of the entropies $H(X)$ and $H(Y)$, but rather depends on the details of $X$ and $Y$'s distributions. Nevertheless, the entropy power inequality (EPI), which states that $e^{2H(Z)} \geq e^{2H(X)} + e^{2H(Y)}$, gives a very tight restriction on the entropy of $Z$.
Joint work with Earl Campbell (FU-Berlin) and Hussain Anwar (UCL) Magic state distillation is a key component of some high-threshold schemes for fault-tolerant quantum computation [1], [2]. Proposed by Bravyi and Kitaev [3] (and implicitly by Knill [4]), and improved by Reichardt [4], Magic State Distillation is a method to broaden the vocabulary of a fault-tolerant computational model, from a limited set of gates (e.g.
We study the problem of reconstructing an unknown matrix M, of rank r and dimension d, using O(rd poly log d) Pauli measurements. This has applications to compressed sensing methods for quantum state tomography. We give a solution to this problem based on the restricted isometry property (RIP), which improves on previous results using dual certificates. In particular, we show that almost all sets of O(rd log^6 d) Pauli measurements satisfy the rank-r RIP.
Abstract The magic state model of quantum computation gives a recipe for universal quantum computation using perfect Clifford operations and repeat preparations of a noisy ancilla state. It is an open problem to determine which ancilla states enable universal quantum computation in this model. Here we show that for systems of odd dimension a necessary condition for a state to enable universal quantum computation is that it have negative representation in a particular quasi-probability representation which is a discrete analogue to the Wigner function.
I will first present a theorem based on the Decoupling Theorem of [1] which gives sufficient and necessary conditions for a quantum channel (CPTPM) being such that it yields the same output for almost all possible inputs. This theorem allows us to reproduce and generalize results oft [2,3], in which cornerstones of statistical physics are derived from first principles of quantum mechanics, in a very natural and easy way. Specifically, we express them in a way which allows to apply results about random 2-qubit interactions [4].

What is IS-IS Level 1 ? Why IS-IS level 1 is used ? What are the IS-IS levels ? What is the corresponding Area type in OSPF ?
IS-IS Level 1 is also called as IS-IS Level 1 sub domain. IS-IS is a link state routing protocol, similar to OSPF. You can read detail comparison of OSPF vs. IS-IS from here.
There is an Area concept in IS-IS as well but the purpose of IS-IS Areas are different than OSPF Areas.
In IS-IS Areas are used to create IS-IS Levels and IS-IS Levels are the similar logical concepts with OSPF Areas.
Two create IS-IS Level 1 adjacency between two routers, same IS-IS area number should be used. Otherwise only IS-IS Level 2 adjacency can be created. This is the first rule of IS-IS adjacency relationship.
Which OSPF Area type is similar to IS-IS Level 1 Sub domain ?

LAWRENCE — Four-year-old Tarik Black was sure he could make it across the street, running behind his friends as they tried to beat a streetlight near an Atlanta park.
He never made it. A car struck Tarik from behind, the force knocking his shoes off and launching him into the air and onto a nearby patch of grass.
Tarik didn't start crying until the ambulance came, and after looking him over, his older brother, Bilal, was surprised not to find any bruises.
When Bilal, 12 at the time, was asked whether Tarik needed medical attention, he turned to his young brother.
"You want to go to the hospital?" he asked.
Tarik shook his head.
"I just want to go home."
* * * * * *
After loosening the laces on his blue hightops, Kansas senior forward Tarik Black leans forward in his chair as he begins to tell his story.
It's a Friday afternoon in early January, and the 6-foot-9 Memphis transfer has just finished a practice at Allen Fieldhouse — something that would have seemed absurd a few years ago, when he was a 15-year-old who had never played organized basketball.
Black knows he's a statistical improbability in other ways, too. Many of his peers in Memphis fell victim to the streets. Few others were blessed with the opportunities he's received.
Those closest to him say there's one way he's made it this far, and that's because his upbringing led to a different sort of toughness — one that is unique even to college basketball, where the term is often thrown around loosely.
Just ask KU coach Bill Self, who was surprised during one game when Tarik went down with an ankle injury. "I didn't know you could hurt him," Self said.
Or teammate Naadir Tharpe, who says he never has seen his teammate lower his head during a practice or game, no matter how bad the situation was.
Or listen to Bilal, who said his brother didn't back down from him, even though there was an eight-year gap between the two.
It's this same toughness that has helped Black through this season — one that started with sizable expectations and a Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year nod but hasn't always gone the way he had hoped.
* * * * * *
No matter what he tried, Amal Black couldn't get his 8-year-old brother Tarik to load the dishwasher.
So Amal had an idea: He'd scare Tarik into doing it.
After holding a spatula over a kitchen burner for a minute or so, the 12-year-old Amal touched it to make sure it wasn't hot.
"You'd better do the dishes, or I'm going to burn you," Amal said.
A second later, he put the spatula on Tarik's bare chest.
Tarik wailed like Amal had never heard before. Amal had underestimated the heat, and the spatula mark remained branded on Tarik's chest for years before finally fading away.
"Even though he cried his eyes out," Amal said, "he took the pain like a real G."
The incident served as just one example of the rough-and-tumble relationship the brothers had as kids.
That same year, Bilal took both his brothers into his room and told them they could join his fraternity. To be initiated, though, both had to get their ears pierced.
With ice and a sewing needle, Bilal punctured both of his brothers' ears, clearing out two holes in each lobe. The three pretended to be asleep when their mother came in that night before getting disciplined by their father the next day.
Bilal was hard on Tarik in other ways, too, making him play Nintendo 64 games over and over, until he eventually beat him. The older brother also practiced his wrestling moves on Tarik, sometimes on a bed with a broken spring popping out of the middle.
"That's everyday stuff," Tarik said. "He was a real big brother."
There was a reason for all of it, though: Bilal knew he was leaving for college soon, and he wanted to make sure Tarik could protect himself in their rough Memphis neighborhood when he was gone.
Bilal's biggest impact on Tarik's future, though, came a few years later.
"If it wasn't for his big brother," Bilal said, "Tarik would be a 6-foot-9 trumpet player."
* * * * * *
Tarik Black's basketball career almost ended before it had even started.
Though he stood 6-4 as a ninth-grader, his first season of organized basketball wasn't going as he'd expected, and even before tryouts concluded that year, he was ready to give the sport up.
For one thing, his experience lagged behind those around him. Though his older brothers had both played church league and AAU growing up, Tarik's only experience had come when Bilal dragged him to the backyard to work on his own game.
And despite his size, coaches didn't exactly see the next Dwight Howard when Tarik took the court. At Snowden Middle School in Memphis, he was cut in sixth grade, seventh grade, then again in eighth grade.
And his first attempt at Ridgeway High School wasn't going much better.
During conditioning for tryouts, he would end up far behind the pack as the team ran on a nearby baseball field.
Worse, every day he'd be inundated by shouts from his classmates: "Black, go home!" "You suck!" "You're not going to make it!"
One day, he had enough. Tears streaming, Tarik returned home and made up his mind: He was done with basketball. Instead, he would focus on playing the trumpet in the band, something he'd done since third grade.
The news didn't go over well with Bilal, who had returned home for a few days from playing basketball at Langston College in Oklahoma.
Bilal told Tarik he would disown him if he didn't go back to try out. The coach will give you an opportunity, he said. Basketball is a game for big men.
Tarik vowed to give basketball one more chance.
"He took that opportunity," Bilal said, "and ran with it."
His success didn't come immediately.
Tarik made the freshman team, but even then, he mostly rode the bench. He was also slow to pick up the game's nuances. Once, while sitting on the bench during a game, he realized something he never had before: that the two teams switched baskets after halftime.
In Tarik, Ridgeway varsity coach Wes Henning saw a player with height and size, but one who had trouble moving his feet. The game was too fast for him, and he was routinely pushed around by smaller players.
"I thought it was going to be too physical for him," Henning said.
That all started to change at the end of Tarik's freshman year, however, when he began picking things up.
During one practice, Tarik caught up with his man in transition, then elevated high to block his shot from behind.
The assistant coaches all turned to Henning at the same time, with one saying aloud what all were thinking.
"Coach," he said, "did you see that?"
"We knew then," Henning said. "We were like, 'Oh man, this kid is going to be special.'"
Tarik became fully committed to basketball during his sophomore year.
One night, the varsity team had a game at the same time as his band concert, and his mother, Judith Moore, had already bought his tuxedo — which meant he'd be performing with the rest of the band.
All evening, as he played on stage, Tarik looked anxious. When the concert ended, he raced out of the auditorium before Judith could catch him.
With his tie snatched off in the gym, Tarik was furious when his mother arrived.
"I told you this wasn't going to work," he told her. "They're playing ball, and I'm not playing."
"It was a turning point, I guess," Judith said, "and the realization that, 'OK, Tarik is not going to be a trumpet player. He is going to be a basketball player.'"
Later that year, with Tarik contributing as a defensive presence inside, Ridgeway won the Tennessee state championship.
The next two years he served as a team captain, and his senior year he averaged 16 points and 13 rebounds in leading his team to a 26-3 record.
Suddenly, the same guys that told him to quit earlier were giving him high-fives in the school hallway.
* * * * * *
Tarik Black kept responding the same way to worried family members back home.
"Don't panic on me now."
The decision to transfer from Memphis had been difficult enough. The fans there loved Tarik, so when he announced he was leaving, he caught flak from disappointed friends that believed he was giving up on his team.
Still, as he arrived on KU's campus last June, it was hard to blame him for the switch.
Self had told him on his first visit that he would be relied upon to help lead a young but talented Jayhawks team, and a few months later, he was chosen by Big 12 coaches as the preseason newcomer of the year.
Things hadn't started smoothly, though.
In practice, Tarik struggled with old habits, like helping uphill toward the driving player (a Memphis defensive philosophy) instead of holding his ground and challenging the shot that way (a KU defensive philosophy).
He also battled constant whistles. The senior committed at least three fouls in seven of his first eight games, which was part of the reason he lost his starting spot to emerging freshman center Joel Embiid.
It didn't help that his mind never shut off. An analytical person, Tarik would run through mistakes over and over again in his mind. "How did I mess up on that foul? Did I have my hands up? How can I stop fouling the next time?"
"He starts to think too much, and it's not basketball any more," Bilal said. "You turn basketball into rocket science."
Tarik also was starting to get increased pressure from back home.
Calls and texts came pouring in, with each loved one offering opinions on what he could be doing better.
Inevitably, he'd get one question in particular: "How do you feel about your decision to attend KU now?"
Tarik always answered the same way: "I'm blessed to be here."
"I came out here for a reason," Tarik said. "And it's what you make it. Sometimes, things aren't in your hands."
Despite the early struggles, Self remained confident that Tarik would eventually come out of his funk. For one thing, he still was one of KU's best leaders in practice, taking extra time to mentor Embiid — the same player who was now taking his minutes.
Tarik also helped the practice atmosphere by never losing his cool, and that included those times when teammates clobbered him in drills.
Early talks with Self focused on the same things: You just need to believe in yourself. You performed well all summer. You're not being the beast I know you can be.
Tarik finally broke out in KU's Dec. 21 game against Georgetown, scoring 17 points on 5-for-5 shooting with six rebounds and outplaying talented Hoyas big man Joshua Smith.
Since then, Tarik has been an important player off KU's bench, averaging 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in conference play. He also sent his teammates into a frenzy Saturday with his highlight play of the year: a one-handed dunk over Texas' Cameron Ridley that had fans comparing his jam to similar ones from NBA greats Julius Erving and Blake Griffin.
And Self, for his part, thinks Tarik can be even better, especially if he learns to not be so hard on himself.
What's telling, though, is how Self's impression of the big man has changed in a few months.
When Tarik first arrived on campus, Self believed he was getting a tough kid because "I just looked at his body. He's built like Atlas."
In recent months, Self has seen things differently, as Tarik has remained upbeat through a difficult situation.
"He hasn't probably done what he thought he could do from a numbers standpoint or a production standpoint. Still yet, he's finding a way to impact this team," Self said. "I think that mental toughness in that regard is as impressive as anything else."
* * * * * *
So much is still ahead of Tarik Black.
The NCAA Tournament is a few weeks away, and after that a professional career is possible, whether that's in the NBA or overseas.
"I've only taken a step in my mind towards where I need to be," Tarik said. "It's so much bigger than basketball."
In high school, Tarik was inspired after watching Magic Johnson speak during an award presentation in Memphis, as the NBA Hall of Famer talked about how he was put on earth not to play basketball, but instead to help others. If all goes well, Tarik will one day return to Memphis to start his own non-profit organization.
He admits he hasn't given much thought to all of that lately, and it's easy to understand why.
This KU team has a chance to clinch at least a share of its 10th straight Big 12 title with a victory Monday night against Oklahoma, and Tarik knows he'll be relied upon to bring stability when Embiid is on the bench.
The senior also is going to continue to do everything he can to be a leader.
"It's not such a dominant thing like you just walk up to people and go, 'Follow me.' No," Tarik said. "My definition of leadership is actually you have to be a follower in order to be a leader. So you have to compromise yourself for the team."
Through it all, Tarik has managed to keep his head up. Amal has often told him that his skin has to be as tough as an elephant's, because people in Memphis are watching on TV, and they know what it's like to take pain and keep going.
Bilal never had a doubt that Tarik was strong enough to handle it all.
He's seen Tarik's toughness before. And never was it more evident than outside that Atlanta park, when Tarik, still reeling from his run-in with a moving car, refused a trip to the hospital.
"I guess that was my sign," Bilal said, "that I had something special in a little brother."

Dual Specs has been a very hot topic in the tanking community. There has been a lot of talking about taking two tank specs vs a tank spec and a dps spec (or healing if you are a Druid or Paladin). I think a lot of this discussion has mostly come from the warrior tanking community and Veneretio at TankingTips.
Personally, I do not think that there is a right or wrong answer. I think that the decision should be based on what you are going to be doing in most fights. If you are going to be the main tank for every single fight, then by all means, take two tank specs. Now if you have decided on two tank specs, what do you choose? Do you keep the thread oriented Deep Wounds Spec, which is a very nice threat spec and very good for trash as well? Keep in mide with Deep Wounds that you can cause problems if CC comes back into play in Ulduar. If you are looking for an adventure, a very situational tanking spec would be the Unrelenting Assault Spec. If a tank is taking two tanking specs, then he will be certain to have a survivability spec.
On the other hand, if you are mostly off tanking, then you make do as I do and keep Deep Wounds for good trash/threat and pick up a nice fury build for the times you will be needed to DPS. Spinks has a very nice post on Fury for Begginers for those of you who have been tanking all expansion long and would like to get in on some DPS action. I will be going with a standard Fury Raid build for my second spec to help out with DPS when my tanking is not needed. This would be the recommended set-up for most tanks.
All of this depends on the situation you are in. If you are the best geared tank and expected to tank all of the bosses, then dual tank specs is not a bad idea. I dont think that anymore than one tank per guild should have two tank specs. If the fights are going to be much tougher in Ulduar and DPS is going to be a big deal, then fights that only need one tank are going to be gimped by a bunch of tank DPS.
Check with your guild to see what is needed. If they dont have an opinion, then go with what you want. Tanks rejoice, you now dont have to suck at DPS......unless you still want to of course :)

We're not sure if Emmitt Smith is going to lose any face time on ESPN now that Cris Carter is hanging around ... but we have our suspicions. Heck, they didn't even let Emmitt be a part of the draft coverage.
Whatever your thoughts on Emmitt Smith's debut season as an "analyst" last year, you cannot say that it was not entertaining. To say the least. It can't be a good sign when your employer is pointing out that hey, you're improving! Kind of. Research matters, apparently.
But, boy, can Emmitt cut a rug!
Let's hear it, kids: Do you like the Emmitt Smith? Do you not like the Emmitt Smith?

Rated 5 out of 5 by DQJenny from The new fabric is sleek & sexy I bought this and the color block hoodie that matches, and I couldn't be happier. I'm 5'8' in the one-twentys, and the small is perfect. The jacket I got in medium so I wouldn't get squished! Also got the 3/4 sleeve ruched jacket so I can switch it up and look sleek going into barre or Pilates. Just one thing, the new fabric isn't very warm, so if you are indoors or outside in spring summer this is great. If it's cold out, the fabric breathes so much it just won't keep you warm. Since I got it for indoor barre classes, it's not an issue

Jimmy Kimmel kicks things off with the ladies
Emmy host Jimmy Kimmel thankfully bypassed the tired awards show opening of having himself edited into scenes from the various nominated series and instead employed the aid of several nominated actresses for a short, semi-funny opening sketch set in the ladies room. Among the actresses lending Kimmel support were Connie Britton, Kathy Bates, Mindy Kaling, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and a naked, cake-eating Lena Dunham. "I'm gonna host this show until it's pregnant," Kimmel told the actresses, no doubt prompting a few involuntary recoils in viewers.
