Study Guide:
This is an advanced chart. Would you like to know how many lives you have lived before? How many as a woman/man and where you spent your past lives? What was your relationship to someone else and how many times have you been lovers, enemies, related, etc? Have you completed your life lessons and what do you need to do to complete them? This Trewbelievers Pendulum Chart will answer all of these questions.
Hold pendulum over center of large circle and begin to ask your questions. How many times have I been here? How many times as a woman/man? Where was I born in my last life/most lives? How many times have I been reincarnated with a certain person? Do I and this other person have something we are supposed to figure out together? Have I learned all of my life lessons? How many more do I have to learn? What can I do to help myself learn these? The pendulum will first circle as it connects and reads your energy and past lives. Then it will begin to move around the chart answering your questions.
Hold pendulum over the center of the small circle and ask, "What was my relationship to (name) in my past lives?" The pendulum will swing over to your answer.

Daily fantasy sports operator DraftKings has made a teeny-weeny change, but it's one that has a potential to gain greater traction in the near future.
Last week, the DFS operator decided to remove a feature called late swap for its NBA contests. Based on the name itself, late swap allows users to remove a player from their lineups—as long as his game hasn't started yet—and replace him with another player, whose game also hasn't started yet.
But with DraftKings's announcement, which will take effect on October 18, "all lineup selections will lock at the start of the contest (i.e. you will no longer be able to swap players after contest lock)."
"This change will allow our customers to enjoy the games and follow their teams rather than monitoring for late breaking news leading up to tip-off of each game," the DFS operator said.
Of course, the surprise change was met with differing opinions especially since the late swap feature is the one thing that sets DraftKings' NBA contests apart from its main rival, FanDuel. Nate Weitzer, of Scout Fantasy, posits that the change could be an indication of a merger between the two DFS giants "down the road." The two operators, after all, have been reported several times of being in talks to fuse the two companies.
DraftKings representative Jonathan Aguiar has a much simpler explanation: removing late swap makes the contest simpler.
"This decision is meant to make DFS NBA more palatable to those with jobs, families, and busy lives. Committing three hours after lock is hard," Aguiar said in a series of tweets. "DFS should not be about following beat writers. Late swap remains for every other sport because injury/lineup reporting is manageable."
Whatever the reason is, Legal Sports Report's Dustin Gouker believes the change will be good for the daily fantasy sports industry. Gouker said in order "for the DFS industry to grow and be a viable product moving forward," it needs to adapt. How? Make the games "simpler and more accessible to casual players" could very well be the first step in the right direction.

The dream job is here with NASA's vacancy for a planetary protection officer. Ever got inspired watching E.T or District 9? Apparently, the possibility of alien attack and contamination is not a myth, for NASA has listed an opening in the US government's official site about the job. US eligible citizens are free to apply for the job and the deadline has been stated as August 14.
The salary for the job in the advert has been mentioned to be in six figures- $124,406 to $187,000 per year. However, the security clearance fee is given as "secret". For the role, the officer is to ensure that astronauts and robots are free from any biological or organic materials while they delve into space. With parallel intentions, he/she is also to make sure that Earth doesn't contaminate other planets or life forms outside of itself.
Although most space agencies hire a planetary protection officer as a part-time worker or a shared worker. However, only two full-time roles exist in the world, one in NASA and the other in European Space Agency. Catharine A. Conley, NASA's current and sole planetary protection officer, has stated in an interview that the job level is neither "extremely careful" nor "extremely lax". She at times gets to travel around the space centers and examines and analyses planet-bound robots. What she does is to ensure that the earthlings don't accidentally defile the grounds of the other planet or its inhabitants while a probe is landing on it or when pictures are being taken. As an international agreement's creation, the makers have concluded that any space mission should have a 1 in 10,000 chances of polluting an alien habitat.
For instance, the Europa Clipper mission that the Congress and President have given permission for lays down the importance of a planetary protection officer vividly. The mission is to examine the possibility of life form in the icy, ocean-hiding, a potentially habitable moon of Jupiter, Europa. Although the clipper won't land on its surface but would orbit its face for searching clues to the moon's susceptibility to life form, there is a moderate chance of a robot crashing. This is when someone like Conley comes to the rescue.
From the job description, it's evident that the qualifications for this job need to be much superior to most other governmental jobs. The candidate is required to have an advanced degree in mathematics, physical science or engineering and at least one-year experience as the highest level of governmental employee. Also, he/she must specialize in "advance knowledge" of planetary protection and everything else that it encompasses. The job specifies the involvement of international coordination and cooperation since space exploration could be expensive and at times the cost is shared by multiple countries. Consequently, NASA requires someone who incorporates diplomacy skills within with a capability of assessing and analyzing difficult and complex international discussions.
The listing states that this is a "three-year contract", however, the period could be extended to two more years. During this period, NASA would plan a number of space missions including the one concerned with the icy Europa.

奥山 清行
Ken Okuyama speaking at TEDxTokyo 2010
奥山 清行 (Okuyama Kiyoyuki)
1959 (age 59–60)
|Alma mater
|Art Center College of Design
|Industrial designer
|Ken Okuyama Design
Ken Okuyama (born 1959) is a Japanese industrial designer. He is the owner of the Ken Okuyama Design company. Okuyama formerly worked for Pininfarina, designing and supervising projects such as the Enzo Ferrari and Ferrari P4/5.[1][2] His given name is Kiyoyuki Okuyama (奥山 清行 Okuyama Kiyoyuki) but goes by Ken Okuyama (ケン・オクヤマ) outside Japan. He was born in the city of Yamagata, Japan, lives in Tokyo, and speaks Japanese, Italian, and English fluently.[1]
Okuyama graduated in 1986 from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.[1] For the next three years he was a visiting professor at Tohoku University of Art and Design. In 1991, he returned to teach part-time at the Art Center College of Design. Between 2000 and 2004, he was Chair of the Transportation Design Department at the college, but in 2004 he was offered a job at Pininfarina.[3]
Okuyama worked for General Motors and Porsche, helping design the new generation of the Porsche 911 (aka 996) as well as the Boxster.[1] Before moving to Pininfarina, he worked for General Motors in the Advanced Concepts Center in California.[1]
On 10 May 2004, Ken Okuyama began work as Creative Director at Pininfarina.[3] He had been working with Pininfarina before, supervising the design of the Enzo Ferrari.[4] As Creative Director Ken oversaw projects including the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Ferrari 456M GT, Ferrari California, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, Chevrolet Camaro (fourth generation), Ferrari Rossa (Concept car), Mitsubishi Colt CZC, Maserati Birdcage 75th, Maserati Quattroporte V and Ferrari P4/5.[2][5][6][7]
In 2006, Okuyama left Pininfarina and set up his own design firm, Newton Design Lab. In late 2007, Okuyama launched the Ken Okuyama Eyes collection, an eyewear collection manufactured in Japan.
In 2008, Ken Okuyama presented his first concept car under his own name, the K.O. 7 Spider, a carbon fiber reinforced polymer and unpainted aluminium two-seater. The K.O. 7 was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008. Ken Okuyama has cooperated with the luxury watch producer TAG Heuer, having fitted the TAG Heuer Grand Carrera at the dashboard of the car. The interior of the concept car was inspired by the design of the TAG Heuer watch.
In 2008, Ken Okuyama's design studio produced the first 20 models of the K.O. 7 Spider, already pre-sold to an "inner circle" of the designer's fans. It was followed by the production of 99 cars in 2009 and 99 more in 2010.[8]
In 2016, Ken Okuyama revealed the Kode 57.[9] This will be an additional member to the limited-edition family, as only five units will be produced.[10] Forbes Magazine stated "Enzo Ferrari Designer Stuns Monterey With Breathtaking Kode 57 Supercar".[11]

Tree Annotation
Synopsis Annotate a small set of large trees used as sources of phylogenetic knowledge in an automated delivery system for tree-o-life knowledge called "Phylotastic".
Quick links
- Overview: Enrico's final presentation
- AnnotatedPhylotasticSourceTrees - report on the set of source trees
- TreestoreMetadataQueryDemonstration - report on the workflow and querying
- AdvancingMIAPA - report on MIAPA-relevant findings and developments
- checklist Reconciled_draft_checklist checklist from TDWG 2011
We (1) identified a set of 10 large trees useful as phylotastic source trees (2) created free-text annotations (metadata) for citations, sources and methods, (3) encoded the data and metadata as RDF using CDAO and a new ontology, (4) loaded the encoded information into a triplestore, and (5) demonstrated logical querying based on data and metadata attributes. During the hackathon, group members spent their time developing and revising a strategy, interpreting source materials, developing language support, encoding annotations, working out technical bugs in the workflow, and addressing emerging challenges. The tangible outcomes of this exercise include
- a set of 10 source trees (720 to 250,000 species) with low-res metadata (see AnnotatedPhylotasticSourceTrees)
- a demonstration of semantic annotation, data-basing, and querying (see TreestoreMetadataQueryDemonstration)
- a workflow plan for encoding tree data and metadata and loading them into a treestore
- a treestore instance populated with some of these data and metadata
- Advances in Minimum Information About a Phylogenetic Analysis (see AdvancingMIAPA)

Metadata annotations represent an essential part of the design of phylotastic systems, for two reasons. First, while we do not have a robust and detailed understand of how users will make use of phylotastic systems, we assume that they will wish to identify trees based on sources and methods. For instance, a user may restrict a phylotastic query so as to include only trees inferred by Maximum Likelihood, or to exclude grafted trees, or to implicate only the tree associated with the publication by Bininda-Emonds, 2007.
Second, one of the design criteria of phylotastic systems is to provide credible results, which in the scientific world means providing a description of provenance suitable for a scientific publication. To be credible, a tree generated by a phylotastic system must include a description of how it was derived, which includes information on source trees as well as a description of any subsequent manipulations. Yet, metadata play little or no role in current phylotastic component implementations.
Some guidance may be obtained from prior art relating to databases and to metadata. Two databases for trees exist already, TreeBASE and Dryad Dryad does not provide any explicit support for tree-specific annotations. The TreeBASE input interface allows citation data, creates links to species ident, and links a matrix to a tree with a "analysis" link that may implicate a particular software program. Though useful, the TreeBASE model falls far short of the recommendations for a "minimum information" standard for phylogeny metadata known as MIAPA, or "Minimum Information About a Phylogenetic Analysis". For instance, the draft MIAPA checklist from TDWG2011 calls for an explicit indication of whether a tree is a gene or species tree, whether it is rooted, what software (and version number) was used to derive it, and so on.
The TreeAnnotation team of hackathon 2 (Enrico, Hilmar, Joachim, Arlin, Ramona and 0.5 of Andrea) decided to conduct an annotation exercise that would cover the flow of information from initial annotation of trees, to querying of treestores (not including the annotation of subsequent phylotastic manipulations such as pruning or scaling).
The motivation for this exercise relates partly to the aspirational nature of MIAPA, which was proposed many years ago but has never evolved into a clear standard supported with convenient technology. Those of us who have been involved in MIAPA-related efforts sensed a need for practical experiences in real-world uses of annotations. While the scope of Phylotastic is narrower than that of MIAPA, in the sense of covering only species trees, and mainly large ones, the challenge of supporting useful metadata queries in a treestore represents a critical test of the relevance of the MIAPA checklist and the technology for encoding and managing semantic annotations.
We also hoped to enrich current phylotastic implementations by providing metadata for a specific set of useful trees. Hackathon participants have been using a handful of trees (APGIII, Bininda-Emonds, etc) without any metadata on citations or methods.
Thus, our approach has 3 inter-connected aims:
- to create a set of 10 usefully annotated source trees
- to demonstrate the feasibility of metadata-based querying in a treestore
- to leverage a practical annotation exercise to advance the MIAPA project
Our approach consisted of the following steps
- identify 10 useful source trees with available publications
- generate free-text annotations
- encode citations and annotations in computable form
- load the citation, annotations, and trees into a treestore
- demonstrate querying based on metadata
In particular, we chose to gather metadata corresponding to the MIAPA draft checklist, to enode it as RDF using a new ontology that imports several other ontologies, and to load the results into Ben Morris's Virtuoso-based treestore implementation. On Day 3, we decided to begin by focusing on citations, which are not in the MIAPA checklist, with the plan to carry citation data through steps 3 to 5.
workflow, in more detail
- Identify 10 trees for use as phylotastic source trees. Most of the trees were identified pre-hackathon by Arlin. One of the trees was replaced on day 2 due to lack of metadata (the unpublished fish tree of Westneat & Lundberg).
- Annotate them in free-text form. This was done on day #2 as a team effort by Ramona, Enrico, Arlin and Andrea.
- create web form in Google docs for input of annotations, based on MIAPA draft checklist from TDWG 2011 workshop
- Spread sheet has pull down menus, plus options for free text entries under "other"
- Transform annotations into a formal language statements in RDF. This was done on Days 3 and 4 by Ramona, Arlin, Enrico and Hilmar.
- Literature Citations
- after some discussion, we decided to use BIBO (not dc or prism alone)
- we spent 6 to 8 person hours trying to do this interactively in Protege before finding an automated pathway of discovery and conversion via PubMed--> EndNote --(bibtex export)--> Zotero --> bibo export (bibliontology RDF).
- here is the File:10trees bibliontology.rdf
- Hilmar developed an annotation ontology that incorporates CDAO, OBI, PROV and other ontologies
- Literature Citations
- Load trees into TreeStore. On days 2 to 3, Joachim worked on the technology for getting our encodings into a triplestore. Part of the challenge was deciding on an URL scheme.
- Execute queries to demonstrate success. On Day 3 we had success in querying for citation metadata. On Day 5 ? ? ?

T-Mobile Installation on Waterford Square Condominium Flatly Rejected Again
Reston Association's Design Review Board unanimously shot down T-Mobile's plans to install cell phone equipment on the roof of Waterford Square Condominiums Tuesday night — noting that the company's tweaked plans did little to address residents' concerns about the equipment's incompatibility with the building.
T-Mobile proposed to install cell phone equipment on the building, igniting vehement opposition from residents' who argued the equipment was extremely visible, damaged the building's character and posed possible health concerns.
Richard Newlon, the DRB's chair, said T-Mobile's plan, which was similar to plans rejected by the board in April, did little to address the panel's concerns about the visibility of the equipment. Panels are around 12 feet high and 10 feet wide.
"It was clear in April that this kind of design is not going to get approved by this board and it's the same design," Newlon said. "It's almost embarrassing to be sitting here saying the same thing again and I don't want to be… six months from now… saying the same thing again."
DRB members also worried that installing cell phone equipment on a residential building could lead to similar proposals by other service providers. The redevelopment of Lake Anne Fellowship House prompted T-Mobile to remove its equipment from the rooftop and scout for other locations in Reston.
More than 25 people, including condominium residents and neighbors of the building, opposed the plan on Tuesday. Some noted that their stance was not indicative of mere opposition to change, adding that residents of the condominium were exploring the possibility of installing solar panels on the roof.
"We're not trying to live in the past," one resident, who lived in the building for roughly 20 years, said.
Ed Donahue, T-Mobile's legal representative, said the company had attempted to strike a compromise by scaling back the structure from the edge of the roof and installing plastic, brick-like screening for the equipment. Donahue also noted that possible health concerns and zoning were outside of the DRB's purview.
"We are in full compliance of the federal guidelines as we are on the thousands of sites in Virginia," Donahue said, comparing T-Mobile's plans to a similar installation at the Heron House.
Other DRB members said that T-Mobile failed to convince the board how the cell phone equipment and towers would be compatible with the architectural integrity of the building.
"I still see that it's visible and it does detract from the architecture and the roofline," said Grace Peters, a DRB member.
The equipment by other companies displaced by development at the Lake Anne Fellowship House have not yet proposed plans for reinstallation to other sites.

Reston-based App Gives 'Sherpas' to Young Adults with Autism
Doug Meeker calls himself a corporate refugee. His son's diagnosis with autism in 2003 pushed him off the corporate bandwagon and into the launch what he calls a "quest": Life Sherpa.
The Reston-based app turns smartphones into personal trainers, giving young adults with executive functioning challenges like his 15-year-old son a step-by-step behavioral training program to traverse their day.
The concept is inspired by the Sherpas, an ethnic minority group in Eastern Nepal who have helped travelers like Edmund Hillary — the first person to climb Mt. Everest — navigate the treacherous mountain terrain.
The app's main objective is to help young adults gain life skills as they transition into adulthood. It has drawn a diverse team of organizers, including members in Romania and India, who are united in their effort to help young adults overcome executive functioning challenges.
"The thing that keeps parents up at night is what happens they become adults. We can teach job skills to this population all day long, but… if they don't have the basic life skills, it's very hard to retain the job skills," Meeker said. "The question comes down to this: How can we help this population gain more self-reliance?"
The app allows caregivers, therapists, counselors, school administrators and other stakeholders involved with the user to remotely monitor and measure their client's progress.
But Meeker says the app's goal was never to replace in-person human interaction critical to people's success.
"What we really want to do is help the innovators scale their efforts. The more we can help them do that, the more we can free up resources to help more kids," Meeker said.
Close to 100 clients are registered on the platform since its soft launch last in February last year.
Meeker said he believes the app will be successful because it draws on individual's skills like close attentiveness to detail and the ability to solve complex problems.
The app also generates metrics and analytics to track client's progress — departing from the days when clipboards and stopwatches were the primary tools for recording progress. Life Sherpa also uses consistent phrases and directions that are critical for successful behavioral therapy, he said.
Meeker hopes the app will continue to help young adults like his son — who is also a cancer survivor — transition into adult life.
"This is a personal quest. It's all about creating ways for the individual to be independent and still be connecting to the people that are supporting them," he said.

Op-Ed: Things To Think About If Cell Phone Tower Rises
Property values, loss of tree canopy, concerns for children's safety: these were some of the issues brought up by a concerned group of homeowners at a public information meeting held on May 12 at the Reston Community Center.
Reston Association is considering a proposal from Milestone Communications to allow construction of a 115′ monopole in Hunters Woods Park. Milestone has created a website for this project, Hunters Woods Wireless Pole.
The proposal is to lease RA land at the north end of the soccer field for the pole and its accompanying ground equipment (consisting of up to 4 – 12×20 buildings). Payment would be a percentage of revenue that the monopole supplier receives from a wireless carrier.
The Milestone representative said the average expected revenue is approximately $12,000 per year per carrier. The monopole can support up to 4 carriers (AT&T to be the first), so presumably revenue to RA could be over $48,000 per year. Should this proposal pass through the Reston Association Design Review Board, a zoning application will be filed with Fairfax County.
The following is a list of important meetings that should be attended if you wish to make your opinion heard. If you can't attend, send an email, or both. It counts!

Hi! I have some work in progress to update this pull request to be more
generic rather than package specific. The discussion we had in the code
review made me rethink this a bit about the impact it has on resources at
large, not just the specific resources where I was running into it. That
said, I feel the current ChefPackage cookbook (which the pull request
originated from) provides a good example of the problem as well as one
approach to the solution.
So, to break the problem down, lets say I have the postgresql::ruby recipe
in my run list because I need the pg gem for some of my other recipes. The
postgresql::ruby recipe will then install the packages it requires during
the compile phase so the pg gem can be properly built. Up to this point,
everybody is happy.
Now, lets say in some custom recipe, I have something like this:
package 'postgresql-client' do
notifies :create, 'ruby_block[log pg install]', :immediately
ruby_block 'log pg install' do
block do
Chef::Log.warn "*** Postgresql Client has been installed!"
action :nothing
What happens here is that postgresql::ruby breaks the expected behavior.
Since the postgresql-client package was installed during compile time, no
notifications will be processed, and the ruby_block resource will never be
executed. I was experiencing this issue explicitly with package resources,
which is why I whipped up the chef_package cookbook. However, as was pointed
out in the code review, and as I have been starting to run into in some
recent work, this issue affects more than just package resources. It affects
all resources and their notifications.
In the cookbook, and the current pull request, I solved this for packages by
creating ChefPackage resources for all Package resources. When a ChefPackage is
discovered in the compile phase, a corresponding Package resource would be
created based on the ChefPackage resource (ensuring notifications were in
tact) and added to the resource collection. These resources would be
processed regularly by the runner, but instead of attempting to run the action,
it would simply check the resource if it had been updated by the last action
and if so, apply notifications.
I am currently updating the pull request to provide this behavior for all
resources by using a flag to mark it as having been updated during the
compile phase, so the runner will know its status and if the notifications should
be processed. One of the big questions is is that the expected behavior. In the
code review, it was mentioned that immediate notifications might imply that
the notified resource be executed during the compile phase. I don't feel
that would be the expected behavior and don't think it should be the
behavior. However, with regards to expectations, I think having it defined
in the documentation would be enough to make it clear.
The change that I am proposing is flagging resources that are run during
compile time. This allows the updated_by_last_action value to be propogated
to the execution phase. It also allows the runner to know the resource's
action should not be attempted, only the notifications processed if its
updated_by_last_action? is returning true.
While I would be really happy with built in tools for adding resources to
arbitrary points in the resource collection, I don't see it providing a
solution for cases like postgresql::ruby where recipes will be depending on
the pg gem during the compile phase rather than the execution phase.
So, this change is targeting a very edge case, since compile time resource
execution doesn't (and shouldn't) happen that often. But I feel that it's
important for things to behave as expected when that edge case is

Hi Chefs,
Recently we've been reviewing CHEF-3747 and wanted to get outside input.
In short, this adds a shortcut for installing a package at compile time, but
it has an interesting twist: It creates a corresponding package resource that
will trigger notifications at converge time where the resource "would have
been" if it had been a converge-time resource.
We wanted to hear more from Chris (the patch's author) about what exactly
he's using this behavior to do. As I understand it, there are two
- These packages are prerequisites for gems that are installed and loaded
via chef_gem;
- When installed, additional resources need to run via notifications.
We also want to hear from you. This behavior seems quite complex; is it
something you think you would use? Is the complexity worth the benefit?
I've also come across some discussions arguing that moving resources to
compile time is an anti pattern. Personally I think its fine for one-off
hacks, but I'm wary of baking it deeper into core Chef. Considering that the
compile/converge distinction is pretty much required to implement
notifications, those obviously act weirdly when everything gets moved to
compile time. I personally also think Chef's strict ordering of run list
items and the resource collection is the best way to get changes made in the
desired order. On the other hand, this may necessitate splitting cookbooks
into smaller pieces and sprinkling them across the run_list, which can be
One alternative we've been discussing here at Opscode is a refactor of the
way that the recipe DSL is implemented such that you'd be able to prepend
resources to the resource collection, or insert them at an arbitrary point,
but this isn't something that would be implemented soon.

Yesterday one of our most improved traders was trading GS. Great stock to be in. Great job of being in when many were taking off. This talented young trader, let's call him MROD, developed a detailed trading plan for GS. MROD saw that 80 was resistance on the longer term chart in GS, remembered that the last time it saw these levels it traded just a bit thru to 80.10, and developed a plan to short GS at 80.10. This was all excellent. But then it got ugly. And he started shorting when GS was NOT a short. Let's discuss.
On the longer term chart resistance could be found at 80 in GS. The next levels for us were 82.20ish and 87ish. We trade a short term style so if your levels are different understand our different trading time frame. And MROD wanted to short at 80.10 because of his memory trading GS. I really like this short. Not for huge size. But I like the idea. The longer term significant resistance level trumped the intraday low volume uptrend. I like that he remembered how GS traded and a level not necessary recognizable on the chart. I like the fact that he was not a slave to the chart and factored in how GS traded. This was all terrific. And GS had trouble trading above 80.10 yesterday at first. This was a really solid, thoughtful trade.
But then GS traded above 80.10 and MROD shorted the 80.20. And then GS went higher and I heard a few others on our desk short GS at 80.35. MROD tried to short GS again at 81. This is not good. GS above 80.10 and especially 80.20 is just not a short. The level was 80, 80.10. And now GS is above this price. Now granted the volume was light but it is still was not a short. GS had been in an uptrend for four hours intraday. GS was now above the 80 level. The next level was not for points. There was not evidence watching the Box that GS was about to trade lower. Now maybe because of the light volume GS was not a long for you yesterday. But above 80.10 it is not a short.
I perfectly understand what some on our desk were thinking. One of our new traders and I discussed his confusion about GS's upmove yesterday before today's Open. There was no news catalyst that was announced yesterday. GS had trouble trading above 78 and now it's above 80 with no news. This doesn't make sense. GS cannot trade higher. Sure it can. And there was one very good reason that some of our younger traders had not considered, which we discussed at our SMB AM Meeting. And there was really no reason for them to consider this other than Steve and I kept commenting on what might be happening throughout the day. So what was this mysterious catalyst yesterday? The stock was being marked up.
At the end of the year stocks can get marked up. Someone wanted GS higher. There are many reasons why. Maybe some have GS in their portfolio and a higher GS will make their portfolio more attractive to investors. Maybe some need GS higher for an options play. Whatever the reason GS acted like a stock being marked up. So in the back of your mind when trading GS yesterday you needed to understand that the desire to mark GS up could be a catalyst.
Stocks above resistance are almost always not shorts. Fighting the tape above resistance will manifest a frustrating and short-lived trading career.
Happy New Year!

Paula Deen admits to having Type 2 Diabetes on NBC's 'Today' TV Show
(Best Syndication News) - Paula Deen, was on NBC's 'Today' TV show this Tuesday morning and admitted publicly that she has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Deen said that she has been living with this condition for the past three years.
Al Roker interviewed Deen and asked her why it took so long to go public with the diabetes? Deen said that she wanted to be able to figure things out in her head first, and she did not have anything to give to her audience by going public until now.
Roker further pressured her by suggesting that she withheld the announcement because the foods she cooked are high fat foods that some consider unhealthy. Deen said that she didn't agree, and said that her cooking shows would continue because people are not going to quit eating.
Paula Deen did announce that she is working as a spokesperson for Diabetes in a New Light. When visiting the website diabetesinanewlight.com you are greated with a photo of Paula Deen. When you scroll down you read about the prescription drug Victoza® which is marketed by Novo Nordisk.
At the Diabetes in a New Light website, there is a recipe for lasagna that Paula Deen has made into healthier versions. Visitors are also able to sign up at the website for more recipes and information.
Paula Deen's sons have introduced healthier foods from time to time on her Food Network cooking show. Now, her son, Bobby Deen, has a new cooking show 'Not My Momma's Meals' on the Cooking Channel. Bobby demonstrates how to cook lower calorie, and healthier meals.

students to take learning to the next level. Students utilize iPads, Google Docs and our leading-edge Healey Center to work collaboratively and experiment with concepts.
The Upper School Curriculum
Through their service to the school and the surrounding communities, and by sharing their own experiences, the Upper School students learn to lead. A rigorous curriculum focuses on study skills and develops students into capable independent learners and thinkers. Skills such as self-advocating, prioritizing, risk-taking, creative thinking and public speaking are emphasized to provide students with the tools they need to be successful after they graduate Derby.
The Upper School Program
List of 2 items.
Academic Curriculum >>
Our Upper School program is designed to intellectually challenge students and help them develop into strong independent learners – students who think critically, who possess excellent study and organizational skills, and who are confident self-advocates in the classroom. By offering a rigorous, departmentalized academic program, combined with required participation in athletics and the arts, students develop a love of learning, an appreciation of different cultures and a confidence in collaborative problem solving, all essential skills that they will need to succeed in secondary school and beyond. Active involvement in extracurricular and co-curricular programs is encouraged in areas such as public speaking, publications, student council and community service. This enables each student to build a sense of his or her own individual potential for leadership and accomplishment.
Social Curriculum >>
We are committed to actively guiding and supporting the social and emotional needs of our students in Grades 4-8. In a general sense, we accomplish this by providing on a daily basis age-appropriate structure, clear behavioral expectations and personal guidance in a safe learning environment. Further, we actively maintain connections between our Lower School and the older grades by incorporating the tenets of the Responsive classroom and by having Middle Schoolers serve as "big buddies" for our youngest students in our monthly PALS program.
Our social curriculum consists of a number of highly effective programs: weekly advisor-advisee sessions (with a student : teacher ratio of about 6:1); weekly grade-level class meetings; tri-weekly morning meetings for Grades 4-8; and an annual outdoor education activity for each grade that culminates in a three-day, two-night trip at a New Hampshire wilderness center for the eighth graders. Additionally, sixth graders take part in the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program which teaches students "how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives." Several times throughout the year seventh and eighth graders meet in small groups with a consultant from Wellness Collaborative. At these meetings, students learn strategies for dealing with peer pressure, stress and the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.
We also offer service experiences for students so they may develop a stronger of social responsibility. Examples include monthly trips to the Father Bill's Shelter for the Homeless (Quincy) and the Cradles to Crayons program (Boston). Participation in student-intiated fundraising projects through our two students councils or World Awareness Club provides additional opportunities for Middle and Upper Schoolers to be connected to the greater community outside of their school.
Through all activities mentioned above, we believe our students successfully learn to negotiate relationships, to manage peer pressure, to solve problems in teams, to grapple with ethical issues, and to understand their emerging responsibilities to themselves and to the world they inhabit.

"The Abyss has gotten one thing right, alongside with our fair allies, that the research of these alien objects & technology, is the key to our future, while the others, up in the surface continue their meaningless battles & debates, we shall study, learn & discover the wonder that the Fae so graciously discarded." - Dr. Kaspar Meyer about the alien artifacts, 20XX
Born in the 60's, near Berlin into a family of 4, he was considered gifted by his teachers in his early teenage years, after graduating with excellent grades from, and rewarded with a PhD by the University of Zurich, he began studying mechanics & theoretical physics, after it's establishment, he enrolled into to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
After the initial drop, he was sent with a group of scientists & engineers, originally to study the piece of the 'Gilded Matriarch', after few months the rigs were assaulted by the forces of Abyss, claiming them their own & sending those, who did not want to join their cause back to the mainland, not wanting to loose the chance to learn the wonders held by the spacecraft, he chose to pledge his loyalty & join their ranks alongside the rest his co-workers & a bunch of the original rig personnel, driven by the lust for knowledge & fame, that would be gained from uncovering the secrets of the sunken vessel.
Professional & hard-to-please, he drives his co-workers with an iron grip, while not exactly great at boosting work morale, the continuous discoveries & advancements reached by R&D team, have established him as succeeding person that knows how to get things done, respected & feared by his employees he has earned his place as the Head of the R&D department.

Approximation of Smooth Functions by sk-Splines
A.K. Kushpel, J. Levesley and W. Light
In the classical sense a spline is a piecewise polynomial. Schoenberg is the father of modern spline theory but such functions go as far back as the time of Leibnitz. The last fifty years have seen an explosion if interest in splines resulting in many generalisations. In this paper we study one such generalisation; the sk-spline. The space of sk-splines is the linear span of shifts of a single kernel $k$. Such spline functions have been considered by many different investigators (Cheney, Chui, Dyn, Light, Micchelli, Pinkus, and Tikhomirov, to name but a few) under very restrictive conditions on the kernel $k$. We impose more general conditions and this enables us to give a unified treatment for a wide range of spline functions, having finite, fractional, infinite, analytic, or entire smoothness. For instance, we will consider problems of existence and uniqueness of sk-spline interpolants, give an error analysis for sets of functions of different smoothness, present a variational approach, and give some extremal properties of sk-splines. We conclude by outlining a generalisation of sk-splines to compact Abelian groups.

On Representing Finite Lattices as Intervals in Subgroup Lattices of Finite Groups
R. Baddeley and A. Lucchini
Let M_n be the lattice of length 2 with n>0 atoms. It is an open problem to decide whether or not every such lattice (or indeed whether or not every finite lattice) can be represented as an interval in the subgroup lattice of some finite group. We complete the work of the second author, Lucchini, by reducing this problem to a series of questions concerning the finite non-abelian simple groups.

On Fixpoint Objects and Gluing Constructions
R.L. Crole
This article (AMS classification 18 C 10) has two parts:
In the first part, we present some general results about fixpoint objects. The minimal categorical structure required to model soundly the equational type theory which combines higher order recursion and computation types is shown to be precisely a let-category possessing a fixpoint object. Functional completeness for such categories is developed. We also prove that categories with fixpoint operators do not necessarily have a fixpoint object.
In the second part, we extend Freyd's gluing construction for cartesian closed categories to cartesian closed let-categories, and observe that this extension does not obviously apply to categories possessing fixpoint objects. We solve this problem by giving a new gluing construction for a limited class of categories with fixpoint objects; this is the main result of the paper. We use this category-theoretic construction to prove a type-theoretic conservative extension result.
A version of this paper is due to appear in the Journal of Applied Categorical Structures.

Verification of Fault-Tolerance and Real-Time
Z. Liu
A transformational method is given for specifying and verifying fault-tolerant
real-time programs. Such a program needs to be provably correct according to
its both functional and real-time requirements, despite of the presence of
possible system failures. The paper demonstrates that a suitably expressive
logic for real-time systems allows to naturally model the state changes by
system failures and determine their effect on the functional and real-time
properties of executions.
Keywords: fault-tolerance, fault-tolerant refinement, real-time, specification, transformation.

Relating Operational and Denotational Semantics for Input/Output Effects
R.L. Crole and A.D. Gordon
We study the longstanding problem of semantics for input/output (I/O) expressed using side-effects. Our vehicle is a small higher-order imperative language, with operations for interactive character I/O and based on ML syntax. Unlike previous theories, we present both operational and denotational semantics for I/O effects. We use a novel labelled transition system that uniformly expresses both applicative and imperative computation. We make a standard definition of bisimilarity. We prove bisimilarity is a congruence using Howe's method.
Next, we define a metalanguage M in which we may give a denotational semantics to O. M generalises Crole and Pitts' FIX-logic by adding in a parameterised recursive datatype, which is used to model I/O. M comes equipped both with an operational semantics and a domain-theoretic semantics in the category CPPO of cppos (bottom-pointed posets with joins of w-chains) and Scott continuous functions. We use the CPPO semantics to prove that M is computationally adequate for the operational semantics using formal approximation relations. The existence of such relations is based on recent work of Pitts for untyped languages, and uses the idea of minimal invariant objects due to Freyd.
A monadic-style textual translation into M induces a denotational semantics on O. Our final result validates the denotational semantics: if the denotations of two O programs are equal then the O programs are in fact operationally equivalent.

Regular Subgraphs in Graphs and Rooted Graphs, and Definability in Monadic Second-order Logic
I.A. Stewart
We investigate the definability in monadic \Sigma_1^1 and monadic \Pi_1^1 of the problems REG_k, of whether there is a regular subgraph of degree k in some given graph, and XREG_k, of whether, for a given rooted graph, there is a regular subgraph of degree k in which the root has degree k, and their restrictions to graphs in which every vertex has degree at most k, namely REG_k^k and XREG_k^k, respectively, for k >=2 (all our graphs are undirected). Our motivation partly stems from the fact (which we prove here) that REG_k^k and XREG_k^k are logspace equivalent to CONN and REACH, respectively, for k >= 3, where CONN is the problem of whether a given graph is connected and REACH is the problem of whether a given graph has a path joining two given vertices. We use monadic first-order reductions, monadic \Sigma_1^1 games and a recent technique due to Fagin, Stockmeyer and Vardi to almost completely classify whether these problems are definable in monadic \Sigma_1^1 and monadic \Pi_1^1, and we compare the definability of these problems (in monadic \Sigma_1^1 and monadic \Pi_1^1) with their computational complexity (which varies from solvable using logspace to NP-complete).

Presentations for Subsemigroups - Applications to Ideals of Semigroups
C.M. Campbell, E.F. Robertson, N. Ruskuc, R.M. Thomas.
A method for finding presentations for subsemigroups of semigroups defined by presentations is used to investigate when ideals are finitely presented. It is shown that an ideal of a finitely presented semigroup is not necessarily finitely presented, even if it is finitely generated as a semigroup. By way of contrast, it is then proved that in a free product of two, or indeed of finitely many, finite semigroups, every right ideal which is finitely generated as a semigroup is finitely presented.

On embedding cycles in $k$-ary $n$-cubes
Y.A. Ashir, I.A. Stewart
We completely classify when a $k$-ary $n$-cube $Q_n^k$, for $k\geq 3$ and $n\geq 2$, contains a cycle of some given length. Our analysis yields an efficient algorithm for generating a cycle of any given length, if indeed one exists, thus answering a question posed by Bose, Broeg, Kwon and Ashir.

Logics with zero-one laws that are not fragments of bounded-variable infinitary logic
I.A. Stewart
We show that the (NP-complete) problem CUB, being the problem of deciding whether a graph has a cubic subgraph, can not be defined in ${\cal L}^\omega_{\infty\omega}$; and so the logic $(\pm\mbox{CUB})^\ast[\mbox{FO}]$ has a zero-one law and can not be regarded as a fragment of ${\cal L}^\omega_{\infty\omega}$. It had previously been shown that the logic $(\pm\mbox{3COL})^\ast[\mbox{FO}]$, where 3COL is the problem of deciding whether a graph can be 3-coloured, enjoys a similar status. In an attempt to clarify their relative expressibilities, we show that the problems 3COL and CUB are not equivalent with respect to first-order translations but that there exist problems definable in $(\pm\mbox{3COL})^\ast[\mbox{FO}]$ and $(\pm\mbox{CUB})^\ast[\mbox{FO}]$ that are not first-order definable: it remains open as to whether these two logics have the same expressibility. In order to prove our results we slightly extend a technique due to Cai, F\"{u}rer and Immerman, and we formulate and play (extended Ehrenfeucht-Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e}) games very similar to those proposed by Kolaitis and V\"{a}\"{a}n\"{a}nen, and Gr\"{a}del.

On classifying all full factorisations and multiple-factorisations of the finite almost simple groups
R. Baddeley, C.E. Praeger

On primitive overgroups of quasiprimitive permutation groups
R. Baddeley, C.E. Praeger
A permutation group is said to be quasiprimitive if all its non-trivial normal subgroups are transitive. We investigate pairs (G,H) of permutation groups of degree n such that G< H<S_n with G quasiprimitive and H primitive. An explicit classification of such pairs is obtained except in the cases where the primitive group H is either almost simple or the blow-up of an almost simple group. (The theory in the latter case is investigated in a separate paper.)

Preconditions for the Adaptive h-p Version Finite Element Method
Ainsworth B. Senior D. Andrews
A domain decomposition preconditioner suitable for $h$-$p$ finite element approximation on adaptively refined meshes with non-uniform polynomial degree is described. The preconditioner is highly suited for parallel computation and generalizes methods proposed by B.F.Smith for the $h$-version finite element method with piecewise linear basis functions, and by J.Mandel for the $p$-version finite element method. The preconditioner was recently analysed by Ainsworth where it was shown that the condition number of the preconditioned system grows at most logarithmically in the degree $p$ and mesh size $h$. This result generalizes the known sharp estimates in each of the cases mentioned above. The preconditioner is used to solve the linear systems on highly non-uniform adaptive $h$-$p$ meshes arising from the adaptive solution of a problem with a crack singularity.

On Fixpoint Objects for Commutative Faithful Monads

How Linear is Howe?
R.L. Crole
In recent years there has been much progress in the use of operationally based methods for reasoning about programs. Notions such as contextual equivalence and bisimilarity, which are historically more usually associated with functional programming and concurrency respectively, have been shown to be very closely connected, and such connections can be seen throughout the functional, concurrent and indeed imperative paradigms. In this paper we show that operational techniques from these three settings also apply in a linear functional setting, by proving that in a simple linear type theory involving function types and tensor types, one can establish linear contextual equivalences by coinductive techniques.

On the power of built-in relations in certain classes of program schemes
S.R. Chauhan, I.A. Stewart
We consider the computational power of the classes of program schemes obtained from NPS by including built-in relations from $\{successor,linear$-$order,addition, multiplication\}$: we are motivated by the known characterization of the complexity class NL (nondeterministic logspace) as those problems accepted by the program schemes of NPS in the presence of a built-in successor relation (the class of program schemes NPS consists of, essentially, nondeterministic while programs with quantifier-free tests, which take as input some finite structure over some fixed signature). We completely classify the relative computational power of these classes of program schemes, as we do for the relative descriptive power of similar extensions of the bounded-variable infinitary logic ${\cal L}_{\infty\omega}^\omega$ and its existential fragment. Our proofs involve playing (infinitary) pebble games.

A Posteriori Error Estimation for Fully Discrete Hierarchic Models of Elliptic Boundary Value Problems on Thin Domains
Mark Ainsworth
A posteriori error estimators for fully discrete hierarchic modelling on thin domains are derived and are shown to provide computable upper bounds on the discretization error and on the total error. The estimators are shown to be robust and do not degenerate as the thickness of the domain tends to zero. If the discretization part of the error is negligible, the estimator for the modelling error reduces to the one recently obtained for semi-discrete hierarchical modelling by Babuska and Schwab.

Positive versions of polynomial time
C. Lautemann, T. Schwentick, I.A. Stewart
We show that restricting a number of characterizations of the complexity class {\bf P} to be positive (in natural ways) results in the same class of (monotone) problems which we denote by {\bf posP}. By a well-known result of Razborov, {\bf posP} is a proper subclass of the class of monotone problems in {\bf P}. We exhibit complete problems for {\bf posP} via weak logical reductions, as we do for other logically defined classes of problems. Our work is a continuation of research undertaken by Grigni and Sipser, and subsequently Stewart; indeed, we introduce the notion of a positive deterministic Turing machine and consequently solve a problem posed by Grigni and Sipser.

Fault-tolerant embeddings of Hamiltonian circuits in $k$-ary $n$-cubes
Y.A. Ashir, I.A. Stewart
We consider the fault-tolerant capabilities of networks of processors whose underlying topology is that of the $k$-ary $n$-cube $Q_n^k$, where $k\geq 3$ and $n\geq 2$. In particular, given a copy of $Q_n^k$ where some of the inter-processor links may be faulty but where every processor is incident with at least two healthy links, we show that if the number of faults is at most $4n-5$ then $Q_n^k$ still contains a Hamiltonian circuit, but that there are situations where the number of faults is $4n-4$ (and every processor is incident with at least two healthy links) and no Hamiltonian circuit exists. We also show that given a faulty $Q_n^k$, the problem of deciding whether there exists a Hamiltonian circuit is NP-complete.

Generalized Hex and logical characterizations of polynomial space.
A A Arratia-Quesada, I A Stewart
We answer a question posed by Makowsky and Pnueli and show that the logic $(\pm\mbox{HEX})^\ast[\mbox{FO}_s]$, where HEX is the operator (i.e., uniform sequence of Lindstr\"om quantifiers) corresponding to the well-known {\bf PSPACE}-complete decision problem Generalized Hex, collapses to the fragment $\mbox{HEX}^1[\mbox{FO}_s]$ and, moreover, that this logic has a particular normal form which results in the problem HEX being complete for {\bf PSPACE} via quantifier-free projections with successor (HEX is the first ``natural'' problem to be shown to have this property). Our proof of this normal form result is remarkably similar to Immerman's original proof that transitive closure logic, $(\pm\mbox{TC})^\ast[\mbox{FO}_s]$, has such a normal form; which is surprising given that $(\pm\mbox{HEX})^\ast[\mbox{FO}_s]$ captures {\bf PSPACE} and $(\pm\mbox{TC})^\ast[\mbox{FO}_s]$ captures {\bf NL}. We also show that $(\pm\mbox{HEX})^\ast[\mbox{FO}]$ does not capture {\bf PSPACE} and that this logic does not have a corresponding normal form.

Formalizing Real-Time Scheduling as Program Refinement
Z Liu, M Joseph
A real-time program can be developed by refining a specification into program code. Verification of the timing properties of the program is then usually done at two levels: verification of the ordering of timed actions in the program and proof that execution of the program on a specific system will meet its timing requirements. Refinement is done within a formal model but the second step requires a different framework in which scheduling theory analysis is used and actual program execution times can be taken into account. The implementation of a program on a system is said to be {\em feasible} or {\em schedulable} if it will meet all the timing deadlines.
This paper shows how the {\em feasibility} of scheduling a real-time program can also be proved as a step in the refinement of the program from its specification. Verification of this step of refinement makes use of both formal methods and scheduling theory, and uses a logic and a single semantic model.
Keywords: real-time program; specification; refinement; feasibility; schedulability.
