What's Happening at St. Francis St. Francis Outreach June Donations Please join us as we continue to support the Santa Maria Urban Ministries in downtown San Jose. Each month we will be collecting a specific food item and/or a personal item. For the month of June we will focusing on Dry Milk Powder and Feminine Hygiene Products. Please drop off your items on Sundays in the collection basket in the narthex of the church, or during the week at the church office. Book Club News June Book Club - Tuesday, June 25, 7:00 p.m. Join us in the Frances Williamson Library, whether or not you've read June's book: The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama . The daughter of a Chinese mother and a Japanese father, Tsukiyama uses the Japanese invasion of China during the late 1930s as a somber backdrop for her unusual story about a 20-year-old Chinese painter named Stephen who is sent to his family's summer home in a Japanese coastal village to recover from a bout with tuberculosis. Here he is cared for by Matsu, a reticent housekeeper and a master gardener. Over the course of a remarkable year, Stephen learns Matsu's secret and gains not only physical strength, but also profound spiritual insight. Matsu is a samurai of the soul, a man devoted to doing good and finding beauty in a cruel and arbitrary world, and Stephen is a noble student, learning to appreciate Matsu's generous and nurturing way of life and to love Matsu's soulmate, gentle Sachi, a woman afflicted with leprosy.

relativistic Doppler effect
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A light source moves away from an observer at a speed vs that is small compared to c. show that the fractional shift in the observed wavelength can be approximated by [tex]\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} \approx \frac{v_2 }{c}[/tex] 2. Relevant equations [tex] f' = \frac{\sqrt{1+ \frac{v}{c} } } {\sqrt{1- \frac{v}{c} } } f [/tex] [tex] v = f \lambda [/tex] 3. The attempt at a solution First I know that v = vs. if I put this into the above formula I get [tex] f' = \frac{\sqrt{1+ \frac{v_s}{c} } } {\sqrt{1- \frac{v_s}{c} } } f [/tex] Since vs is small compared to c the terms inside the square root signs will be approximately equal to 1 so I can say that [tex] f' \approx f [/tex] [tex] f = \frac{v}{\lambda} [/tex] Since we are working with light, when it leave the light source it travels at v = c. So [tex] f = \frac{c}{\lambda} [/tex] so far I have [tex] f' = \frac{c}{\lambda} [/tex] this is where I get lost. I have no idea what to do next because I can't seem to quite figure out what f' would be. f' is the frequency of the light observed by the observer. In the observer's frame of reference this would simply be f given above. the equation I derived before implies that I am working in the source's frame of reference so I will need to adjust for f'. But I have no idea how to do that. I know that the velocity of light is fixed so the only way the observed frequency changes is because lambda changes by an amount say Δλ. but this still gets me no where. Could someone give me a hint? |

You've gone too far with your approximation of the square roots. Keep the next higher (first-order) approximation. See binomial approximation
Jan30-13, 12:05 PM | #3 |
so you are saying that I should do this using taylor series approximation? Sorry wikipedia doesn't work very well for when it comes to math. And what do you mean by gone too far?
Jan30-13, 02:23 PM | #4 |
relativistic Doppler effect
Yeah, it's a Taylor series approximation, and "gone too far" means that in your attempt above, you made this approximation only up to zeroth order, throwing away all of the higher order terms. As TSny says, you should make it to first order.
Jan30-13, 06:48 PM | #5 |
I'm totally lost. Which equation am I supposed to take the approximation for. Speaking of which I never took an approximation in my attempt at the solution
Jan30-13, 07:28 PM | #6 |
You need to take a Taylor series expansion of the square root expressions, and then just keep the first few terms, under the assumption that v/c is small (but not so small that it can neglected entirely, like you did). |
Jan30-13, 09:30 PM | #7 |
yeah but I made that assumption without using calculus? I took the linear approximation it is as follows
[tex] \frac{\sqrt{1+ \frac{v_s}{c} } } {\sqrt{1 - \frac{v_s}{c} } } + \frac {3}{(v-c)^2 \sqrt { \frac {-(v+3)}{v-3} } } (v - v_s) [/tex] this might be wrong because I never fully understood what each letter in the approximation represents. I don't see how this will help me though. My main concern was to adjust f' using relativity. |
Jan30-13, 10:34 PM | #8 |
Binomial approximation to first order: ##(1+x)^a \approx 1+ax## for ##x<<1##.
So, ##\sqrt{1+x} = (1+x)^{1/2} \approx 1+\frac{1}{2}x## and, ##\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x}} = (1+x)^{-1/2} \approx 1-\frac{1}{2}x## |
Jan30-13, 11:42 PM | #9 |
How's this for a proof?
[tex] \frac{ \sqrt{1 + \frac{v}{c} } } { \sqrt {1- \frac{v}{c} } } \approx \frac{1 + \frac{v}{2c} }{1 + \frac{v}{2c} } \approx 1 [/tex] so [tex] f' = \frac{\sqrt{1+ \frac{v}{c} } } { \sqrt { 1 - \frac{v}{c} } } f [/tex] [tex] \lambda = \frac {c}{f} [/tex] [tex] \lambda ' = \frac{c + v_s}{f} [/tex] [tex] Δλ = λ' - λ = \frac{c + v_s}{f} - \frac {c}{f} [/tex] [tex]Δλ = \frac{v_s}{f} [/tex] [tex] f = \frac{c}{λ} [/tex] [tex] Δλ = \frac{λ v_s } {c} [/tex] [tex] \frac {Δλ}{λ} \approx \frac{v_s}{c} [/tex] don't worry about the equal sign as opposed to the approximation sign in the proof, I'll fix that later |
Jan31-13, 09:34 AM | #10 |
Suggestion: Use ##f = c/\lambda## and ##f ' = c/\lambda '## along with the equation ##f' = \frac{\sqrt{1+ \frac{v}{c} } } { \sqrt { 1 - \frac{v}{c} } } f ## to find an expression for ##\lambda ' /\lambda ##. Then use the binomial approximation for the square roots. If you have a square root in a denominator, I would suggest you approximate it as ##\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+v/c}} = (1+v/c)^{-1/2} \approx 1-v/2c##. [Edit: So, ##\frac{\sqrt{1-v/c}}{\sqrt{1+v/c}} =(1-v/c)^{1/2}(1+v/c)^{-1/2} \approx (1-v/2c)(1-v/2c)## . Multiply out the right hand side and note that you can neglect ##v^2/4c^2## because it is a very small "second order" term] |
Feb1-13, 12:49 PM | #11 |
One suggestion to make the algebra simpler: Start off by showing that the Doppler relation in terms of wavelength is $$\lambda' = \frac{\sqrt{1-v/c}}{\sqrt{1+v/c}} \lambda$$ |
Feb1-13, 01:47 PM | #12 |
I actually did that and ended up with a reasonable answer. thanks for the help

Police deserve support every day
I am the wife of a Santa Cruz police officer and was part of the motorcade that traveled to San Jose on Thursday, March 7, for Elizabeth and Butch's unforgettable memorial service. I was entirely caught off-guard by the community turnout which began at the Boardwalk and continued to the very doors of the HP Pavilion.
Thousands of people lined the roads, offramps and overpasses with their hands on their hearts, hats doffed, saluting, waving, holding signs and waving flags. It was staggering.
Most days being a police officer is a thankless, exhausting job. Officers are tasked with dealing with the dregs of our city in order to keep its residents and business owners safe.
They deserve this support every day -- not just when they lose their lives. I dearly hope that this heart of community support and camaraderie will extend into the coming months and years.
My profoundest thanks to each person who came out to support our police departments and grieve with our officers.
Tracy Kendall, Santa Cruz
Thank you for returning phone
Thanks to the couple who found our cellphone and turned it back to Verizon who called us to retrieve it. You didn't leave your names but we want to let you know that we picked it up and it meant a lot to us to know there are kindhearted, smart people who would know how to

Kudos to SHS basketball team
Congratulations to the Soquel High boys basketball team for the thrilling ride they gave us this year, winning the SCCAL, earning a berth in the CCS Open Division, and making it all the way to the semifinals in the NorCal D-IV tournament.
I had the pleasure of working with most of the young men on this team as a teacher at New Brighton Middle School a few years back, and know them to be all-around good guys in addition to being a great team. Kudos to them and their coach, Stu Walters. Way to go!
Dave Brodkey, Santa Cruz
Generosity of women's group
Thank you to the more than 100 Women Who Care Santa Cruz, who recently supported Branciforte Middle School and our Media Lab/Innovative Technology Center. Your donation of $6,100 is greatly appreciated by our school community. It is truly an honor to be a recipient of the generosity of your group.
Kathy Ferraro, Branciforte Middle School parent volunteer Tech Committee
True spirit of Santa Cruz
I took my dogs to the groomer, The Dog Tub, today. The sign on the door said "All proceeds today go to the Santa Cruz Police Memorial." This is the true spirit of Santa Cruz. No matter how small or large the business, or the pocketbooks of the individuals, this community comes together to support its own in trying times.
Terri Locke Carroll, Santa Cruz

Graph summarization with bounded error (2008)

We propose a highly compact two-part representation of a given graph G consisting of a graph summary and a set of corrections. The graph summary is an aggregate graph in which each node corresponds to a set of nodes in G, and each edge represents the edges between all pair of nodes in the two sets. On the other hand, the corrections portion specifies the list of edge-corrections that should be applied to the summary to recreate G. Our representations allow for both lossless and lossy graph compression with bounds on the introduced error. Further, in combination with the MDL principle, they yield highly intuitive coarse-level summaries of the input graph G. We develop algorithms to construct highly compressed graph representations with small sizes and guaranteed accuracy, and validate our approach through an extensive set of experiments with multiple reallife graph data sets. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to compute graph summaries using the MDL principle, and use the summaries (along with corrections) to compress graphs with bounded error.

Hi everyone,
I'd greatly appreciate any advice and guidance you can provide with selecting a nice backsplash for costa esmerelda granite in the kitchen. Any pictures from those of you that have costa esmerelda in your homes would be fantastic! We are using white cabinets and dark wood floors (like cumaru or brazilian cherry). We're going for a transitional look....something between contemporary and craftsman. I've attached a picture of the slab and will send a follow-up couple of notes with pictures of two possible backsplash options....can figure out how to upload more than one picture at a time. Thanks in advance!

How to Copy Xbox 360 Games and Protect The Originals
How to Copy XBox 360 Games and Protect The Originals
If you've ever puzzled over if it is of course possible for you to copy XBOX 360 games, you'll be pleased to know there's a way to make perfect duplicate backup copy of any XBOX 360 game.
It's kind of harder than merely utilizing the same software as you do to burn music cds, but it is easy to get a handle on when the have step by step instructions with videos its a no brainer.. .
The secret to being able to copy xbox 360 games is to get a software that's expressly designed to make backup copies of console games with your personal computer or mac. Xbox 360 game discs have copyright protection measures in place that will not let you make copies by utilizing the regular burning software used to replicate music cds. To get passed that issue, there are software corporations that have developed specialised software that may knock-out these protections and copy Xbox 360 games ( with other kinds of games ).
Copy Xbox 360 Games Software
Without this program, your PC does not recognize the Xbox 360 game disk. When you have got the software prepared all of a sudden the disk makes perfect sense to your PC and it can read the disk so as to make a copy. As a side note, the software does not only copy Xbox 360 games. It also works for PS3, Nintendo Wii, PS2 and virtually each other major game machine. This makes it lots more convenient if you have got multiple game boxes. You will not have to get a new programme for every one. The software works in 3 simple steps : First, you insert the xbox 360 game disk and your PC will make a copy image of the game. When this is done, you insert a blank disk and the software will transfer the image onto the disk. Thereafter you are left with an exact backup copy xbox 360 games of the game you can use if you need to.
If you've got any interest in making a backup copy Xbox 360 games, this software gives you a straightforward and satisfactory way of doing so. It is important to make a backup save of your Xbox 360 games in case they ever become scratched or damaged.
Go and get a NO risk trial of the top-ranked game duplicating software.
It is the simplest way to copy xbox 360 games straight from your house PC!

text: A knife-wielding Palestinian terrorist attacked an army patrol in the Biblical town of Hebron, rattling a fragile cease-fire declared last week. The army says a soldier shot and killed the assailant. There were no Israeli casualties in the attack that occurred near the Tomb of the Patriarchs. Two knives lay next to the body of the terrorist, who carried no identification. There was no claim of responsibility. The attack underscores the fragility of the truce. Many terrorists are not subject to any central authority, and Islamic groups can always claim that Israel's killing of the man was a violation of the cease-fire. (We'll have an in-depth report on cease-fire prospects in next month's edition of "israel today" magazine.)

So I was trying out a skirt I bought about 2 seasons ago, and it doesn't fit, I'm too small. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, because the skirt was already a size 2. I don't know if I should be happy or not. On the one hand, yay for losing weight, on the other…boo, I'm losing my ass.

Tyshawn Taylor, Brooklyn Nets (W, 91-83 vs. MIN)
Busy night for the Hawks in the NBA. Did Markieff and Robinson guard each other? That would've been fun to see. Both had nice nights.
Got his pocket picked by Markieff after TRob caught an airball by Beasley, but Thomas had some great hustle plays.
Unless my eyes are tricking me, according to the way the stats are written above, it's saying Thomas Robinson's Kings beat Markieff's Suns ... However, The Suns (106) beat the Kings (96) on the 23rd.
Should be:
Thomas Robinson, Sacramento Kings (L, 106-96 vs. PHX)
Markieff Morris, Phoenix Suns (W, 106-96 vs. SAC)
I was at the Rockets game just to watch our former players. Marcus played quite a bit and looked okay. Cole only got in towards the end. My NBA interest isn't that high, but it is nice to get these updates on former players. Just FYI, Rockets coach McHale is getting major heat from the fans for benching players right and left.
The power forwards were cleaning up last night. Thanks Danny Manning!

The confluence of extremely challenging events that occurred in the second half of fiscal 2001, which stalled most of the Top 10 publicly traded supermarket companies in their tracks, provided additional momentum to a much bigger factor in food retailing -- Wal-Mart's growth.
According to second-half company performance figures compiled by SN, the Top 10 chains showed hardly any growth in same-store sales. They averaged 0.1% during the period, compared to 1.1% in 2000. The 10 chains included in the comparison were identical to the previous year. (See second-half financial breakout chart for Top 10 companies, Page 96.) In comparison, Wal-Mart Stores -- including supercenters -- saw a 7% increase in comparable-store sales during the second half.
Analysts interviewed by SN predicted Wal-Mart supercenters would continue to penetrate the country as they rolled out more food formats and thus cut away at traditional food retailers' sales and market share.
The three leaders behind Wal-Mart in food retailing -- Kroger, Albertson's and Safeway -- all have experienced some disruptions to various degrees in their respective markets due to the Wal-Mart factor, said analysts.
Neil Currie, equity analyst, UBS Warburg, New York, noted the domino effect. While Safeway has been the least impacted by Wal-Mart to date, especially on the West Coast, Kroger's ramping up of its cost structure to bring its pricing down to compete with supercenters will make it tougher for Safeway stores on the West Coast even without Wal-Mart supercenters, Currie said.
"If Wal-Mart is the cause of Kroger's issues, then the domino impact for Safeway is that it has -- if you exclude Canada -- 58% of its stores within five miles of Kroger," he said.
The pressure from alternative formats only became heightened during the second half of last year following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, massive layoffs and the country plunging into a recession. This caused consumers to be even more price-conscious as they traded down on food as well as flocked to the discounters. This was coupled with an overcapacity of retailing space, particularly in the discount sector, fierce price competition and a slow growth market, which all resulted in a dismal second half for many of the top food retail companies.
"The slowdown came to a standstill in the fourth quarter," said Mark Husson, equity analyst, Merrill Lynch, New York. This was caused by a combination of events, said Husson, "the size and the [slow] growth of the market, the increase in store capacity that came onto the market just as it was slowing down, the increased price competition, in particular the price competition by Wal-Mart and Kmart in the same market. They were knocking seven bells out of each other during the quarter, and a number of retailers got caught in the crossfire."
Besides the economic slowdown, there was no inflation, noted Husson, and a significant amount of trading down by consumers and increases in private-label sales. "All of this really served to dump on the top line," he said.
"It's hard to isolate the impact of Sept. 11 and the general slowdown of the economy," said Jack Murphy, vice president, Credit Suisse First Boston, New York.
"The sales environment turned out to be a lot more cyclical than expected. There were already other factors like a tougher competitive environment, which is more important," he added.
"If it was just a single negative, it would be manageable," said Gary Giblen, vice president and director of research, C L King & Associates, New York. "But a lot of negatives taken together were pretty challenging for even the best and the brightest." While total sales actually increased 4% over the previous year from $97.9 billion in 2000 to $101.9 billion in 2001, those numbers don't clearly reflect the shifts taking place in individual markets. During the period, Kroger announced it would further leverage its size to achieve greater economies of scale and reinvest in its core business to increase sales and market share, and Albertson's began to exit underperforming markets in Houston, San Antonio, Memphis and Nashville. Others of the Top 10 simply reassessed their positions in their respective markets and acted accordingly by pulling out, selling stores, cutting costs and pursuing other, internal cost-cutting measures for survival.
Safeway struggled with its integration of Genuardi's Family Markets, Norristown, Pa., said some analysts, as it has with acquisitions in other markets. The purchase of Genuardi's in February 2001 impacted Safeway's third and fourth quarters.
Meanwhile, operating income for the Top 10 companies rose 17.1% to $5.7 billion, up from $4.7 billion in the previous year.
But flat comparable-store sales remain a big challenge for supermarkets. "Same-store sales growth softened fairly substantially in the third and especially fourth quarters for all companies," noted Jonathan Ziegler, San Francisco-based managing director, Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown, New York.
"The real issue out there was too much square footage and too much consumer products. That combination of oversupply drives prices down," he noted.
Forecasting into the first half of 2002, analysts did not expect much improvement in growth in spite of an improved economy.
David Shriver, food retail analyst for Credit Suisse First Boston in London, who follows Ahold and the Delhaize Group, said, "The whole industry has to think through how to differentiate themselves from supercenters with the realization that competition has got fiercer. The industry has to rethink what they are doing to add value for the customer." The analysts offered their observations on the performances of the Top 10 chains:
KROGER CO., Cincinnati, whose sales were off by 0.6% while operating income rose 3%. Comparable-store sales in the third quarter rose 1.4% but fell to 0.3% in the fourth. "We are operating in the most challenging economic and competitive environment of the past 20 years," said Joseph A. Pichler, Kroger's chairman and chief executive officer during the period.
Pichler's statement was probably the best indication on how tough the environment was out there, said Murphy. The company changed its business strategy and announced it would institute promotions funded through $500 million in cost savings, which included company layoffs, Murphy noted. "Being sharper on promotions is the right strategy," said Murphy. "The only issue is that Kroger set an aggressive goal for getting its identical sales up. It's very tough for any supermarket to get sustainable sales growth much above a flat 1%."
Ziegler said that what is impacting Kroger the most "is the awareness that Wal-Mart ain't going away."
While many agreed Kroger's strategy is positive, Currie questioned whether Kroger's re-engineering efforts were coming too late in the game. "Wal-Mart is bigger than Kroger. Is it going to be enough?"
ALBERTSON'S, Boise, Idaho, whose sales grew by 3.2% and operating income dipped 0.3%. Comps rose 2.3% in the third and were flat, 0.2%, in the fourth.
Larry Johnston, chairman and CEO, said Albertson's was meeting challenges of the marketplace, which included aggressive supercenter competition.
"Performance in the fourth wasn't as strong as in the third, so as a recovery story one would expect better performance," said Currie. "What they are doing with the cost structure will help operating performance, but all eyes must be on sales performance, and whether they can have sustained profitable sales improvement over the year," he said.
"Albertson's has now emerged as a company with a clear future and vision," Giblen said. "It took a year for the new CEO to get his feet wet and understand what he had to do."
SAFEWAY, Pleasanton, Calif., saw sales rise 6.7% and operating profit increase by 15.1%. Comps were up 1.6% and 2.1%, respectively.
Said Steve Burd, chairman, president and CEO, "In spite of the soft economy, we were able to accelerate cost-reduction efforts to fuel double-digit earnings growth."
Ziegler said he was disappointed with Safeway's performance in the second half. "Although they are probably doing fine on the West Coast with not much overlap with Wal-Mart, other markets such as Texas are dragging them down," he said. The Genuardi's integration has caused a temporary disruption in that market, according to Ziegler, by "Safewayizing it" with private brands.
Safeway's first-quarter results, reported earlier this month, shows a deceleration in sales, analysts noted, but most expect improvement as the economy continues to get brighter.
"I still think they are the gold standard," said Giblen. "Although they are a little tarnished at the moment, they do have revitalized competition. Wal-Mart is better in food than it use to be."
"Look at Safeway's performance on an underlying basis," said Currie. "They've missed every quarter. But it has made up bottom-line expectations by buying back shares, or having lower tax rates or pushing its margins up. The sales performances have declined period by period, and that is not healthy."
AHOLD USA, Chantilly, Va., sales rose 17.4%, including its food-service business. Retail sales alone were up 6.8% to $10.9 billion. Comps posted 3.8% and 3.1% increases for the quarters, respectively.
This period reflected the impact of Grand Union stores, which were converted during the first six months of 2001. The company also acquired PYA/Monarch, Parkway and Mutual food-service businesses. Bruno's Supermarket acquisition was being completed during the period.
Shriver of Credit Suisse First Boston, described Ahold's U.S. retailing business as good last year with the exception of Bi-Lo, which was experiencing challenging market conditions.
"Ahold has phenomenal success in bringing together Ahold USA and leveraging its scale and skill and those aspects of the business end where it is appropriate," said Shriver. "They are doing it on a global basis as well."
Shriver sees the acquisition of the food-service businesses as a big opportunity for Ahold USA retailing operations. However, right now Ahold is in the early stages of integrating those businesses.
DELHAIZE AMERICA, Salisbury, N.C., sales were off by 0.2%. Operating income soared 79%. Comps increased 2.3% in the third quarter and dropped a negative 0.5% in the fourth. In the third quarter, Delhaize closed 19 Super Discount Markets in Atlanta and sold nine Save-A-Lot stores to Supervalu. The benefits of the merger with Hannaford Bros. continued to be realized.
In the fourth quarter, comps fell due to a weak economy, particularly reflected in the results at Kash n' Karry, where seasonal residents' return was delayed. December sales were negatively impacted vs. the prior year due to unseasonably warm weather and the midweek holiday.
According to Shriver, "Delhaize clearly missed guidance for comps over the course of the year. A lot of focus has been on integrating Hannaford. The challenge for Food Lion is what it is offering relative to Wal-Mart. It has to find other reasons to differentiate itself than on a straight price comparison."
WINN-DIXIE, Jacksonville, Fla., sales were flat at 0.2%. Operating profit rose 139%. Comp sales were off a minus 5.2% and 4.3% for the first and second quarters, respectively. The company unveiled an aggressive new marketing campaign in October 2001.
Comps decreased in part due to the elimination of unprofitable sales departments and the elimination of unprofitable sales items in remaining departments.
Said Al Rowland, president and CEO, "Our focus is to grow Winn-Dixie profitably based on strong financial fundamentals. We intend to build our sales through continued improvement in store operations, improved merchandising and an aggressive marketing campaign."
"Some of the things Winn-Dixie is doing to improve, like remodeling stores and relaunching advertising, should accelerate them up to flat," said Husson.
"Short term, I am bullish on Winn-Dixie," said Giblen. "Beyond short term, I question how much of a sustainable strategy they have to grow and compete."
"It's a high-risk stock," said Currie. "The competitive situation will get worse. The company is doing some good things, but there is big question mark over the asset base."
A&P, Montvale, N.J., sales rose 1% and operating profit was up 138%. Comps were up 3.1% in the third quarter and flat in the fourth at 0.5%.
The company announced in November 2001 a program to improve operating results by disposing of underperforming assets, including 39 stores.
Elizabeth Culligan, president and chief operating officer, said, "We acted decisively in fiscal 2001 to review and improve our store network in terms of overall quality and growth potential. That effort, and the initial results of ongoing programs to upgrade our operating disciplines and merchandising execution, were major factors in our performance."
Currie and other analysts said Culligan has been a big catalyst in A&P's turnaround. "They achieved what they set out to do and turned business back into profit, improved sales and operating performance, and cut costs. It's been a steady recovery story," Currie said.
PATHMARK STORES, Carteret, N.J., sales slid to a flat 0.2%; operating profit also dropped 8%. Comps were up 2.3% in the third quarter but sank to 0.9% in the fourth.
Said Jim Donald, chairman, president and CEO, "Outstanding effort and execution were keys to our strong third-quarter financial and operating performance, despite a recessionary economy and the uncertainties surrounding the tragedy of Sept. 11."
Giblen sees Pathmark as a "wonderful" turnaround story. "They are choosing to invest margin to drive market share, yet comps are still on the flat side."
"They have been able to restructure, and that has been driving earnings growth," said Murphy. PENN TRAFFIC CO., Syracuse, N.Y., sales rose 1.2%. Operating profit was up 7.7%. Comps increased 2.3% in the third, but fell flat to 0.9% in the fourth.
"A softening economy and a greater-than-normal amount of promotional activity made the fourth quarter a challenging one for us," said Joseph Fisher, Penn Traffic's president and CEO.
Said Giblen, "Joe Fisher has done a great job in getting things accomplished in terms of quick payback on initiatives long overdue. The company has driven positive comps and EBITDA growth. The short-term performance is better than the premium quality companies."
HARRIS TEETER, Mathews, N.C., sales were flat at 0.1%, but operating profit rose 43%. Comps were up 2.5% in the fourth quarter and fell to a minus 1.1% in the first.
"Harris Teeter's earnings have picked up nicely," said Husson. "Sales are still rather difficult to come by, but it looks like they have been successful in refocusing their business on core markets rather than having poor-performing stores stuck out in the provinces like Atlanta. Getting out of those areas and focusing on the Carolinas has been a big win for them. We conducted a recent competitive study in the marketplace indicating that consumers that shop Harris Teeter are very impressed by them."

Thank you…
Great project.
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you, birthday presents coming…
I down loaded the link
"For the Templates, click here to download the PDF."It downloaded so fast I did not get the name of the .pdf file. When I printed out the plans it only printed a 1/4 page of a small picture of the plans. I did not get any instruction and a template to do this project.
Perhaps if you give me the name of the .pdf file I downloaded I could find the file on my computer and the instructions and template may be in the file.Sounds interesting. A project I would like to undertake.

I thank you for the template pattern for the cribbage board. I was taught cribbage by my father. If me father was alive I would make the design that you show for him. I will make the board for myself; for when ever I play cribbage I think of him.

"The pattern we've been in for the last 12 months is exactly what we would expect in climate change," he said.
The notion of long-term climate change -- particularly as caused by humans -- is politically controversial but generally accepted as fact by most scientists.
The Nature article, also published Thursday, said that such shifts in weather patterns and human-induced changes could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the global ecosystem, including the collapse of food supplies and other problems.
It warned that "widespread social unrest, economic instability and loss of human life could result."
The paper calls for improvements in efforts to detect critical changes in the ecosystem, as well as reduced global population growth and energy use and other measures.
A shift in the biosphere is possible by 2100 if nothing is done to better predict changes and act upon them, said Anthony D. Barnosky, professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley and lead author on the Nature article.
"If we do nothing, I personally think we hit this tipping point," Barnosky said Friday. "It means the world will be very different, losing biodiversity and (affecting where) species live in particular places."
The scientists are concerned that the biosphere has seen dramatic changes since the last Ice Age, factoring in the climate and a huge increase in global population. The current population of 7 billion is expected to increase to 9 billion within three decades.
"People have become a geological force in their own right, and we are changing the planet in ways every bit as dramatic as major geological events," Barnosky said. "We are becoming much more dominant organisms in Earth by our sheer numbers and the way we use natural resources."
Barnosky said the NOAA report buttresses his group's findings on global temperatures. The mean temperature by 2070, perhaps earlier, will be higher than it has been since the human species evolved, according to the Nature article.

The concept of empowerment has been introduced in communication studies, however, it has not been introduced in accounting education research. The authors' purpose is to introduce the concept of empowerment in accounting education and investigate its relationship with accounting course perceptions, students' academic performance, and classroom instruction. Previous work has concluded that empowerment is primarily influenced by teacher behaviour. Whereas, the student's temperament and learning orientation has little impact on empowerment. This study administered a survey questionnaire to 162 students who were studying the first year of a business degree institution in Australia. Observations and interviews were also conducted. Data was analysed using reliability tests, factor analysis, and correlations. The results indicate that, course perceptions and classroom instructions influence student empowerment, but no correlation was found with student's academic performance.

POTTSTOWN - Super Bowl Sunday. A day for fans to get together for some serious football watching, Super Bowl commercials, camaraderie and ... food. It's no secret that Super Bowl Sunday is a big day for parties, and area restaurants are busy.
Mike Crater, owner of Mike's Brick Oven Pizza, 601 N. Charlotte St. in Pottstown, knows there are some serious football fans out there, and he's looking to reward a lucky NFL fan with a catered Super Bowl party valued at $200. The restaurant is running a Facebook contest to find the best NFL fan photo.
This is the second time the eatery has held a Super Bowl contest, but the first time they are using social media as part of the contest.
"As social media grows, we want to do more things like this. We're excited about the contest. This is one way for us to reach out to the community and promote the business. I think we'll get a great response ."
Crater said entering is simple, and "pretty much anything goes," as long as the fan photos are NFL-related.
First, find the Mike's Brick Oven Pizza Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/Mikes-Brick-Oven-Pizza/125177196284?fref=ts.
Then, like the page and upload your NFL fan photo.
That's all there is to it.
The winner will be chosen on Friday, Feb. 1, from among the entries and Crater will make the arrangements with the winner for delivery of the Super Bowl feast in time for the big game on Feb. 3. Crater said there is enough food in the package to feed 20 to 30 people.
The catered package includes:
Four large pizzas
(2) 24 piece hot wings
(4) 2 liter sodas
(2) Monster cheese steaks
(1) Large hoagie tray (30 pieces)
A Super Bowl cake
"We're excited about the Super Bowl this year. It looks like it's going to be a good game and there is a lot of interest," Crater said.
Crater said Super Bowl Sunday is one of the two busiest days of the year for Mike's Brick Oven Pizza. He added that they are already gearing up to do something special for Valentine's Day.

Five independent practices join St. Peter's Health Partners Medical Associates
TROY – Five independent regional practices have joined with the newly formed St. Peter's Health Partners Medical Associates, a non-profit organization governed by the physicians.
"When we created St. Peter's Health Partners, we said it would create real benefit to our community. One of those benefits was to strengthen our ability to forge new partnerships with physicians and other providers to design new service delivery models to improve quality," said James K. Reed, president and CEO of SPHP, in a statement.
Physicians and specialists who become part of the new system maintain control over their practices, but benefit from centralized billing, no longer needing to interface with insurance companies directly, and reductions in medical malpractice insurance.
There were not expected to be any changes to the relationship between patients and their current practices.
"This is seamless for them (the patients)," said William Hennessey, who operates a gynecology office that will be joining the organization. "They're not going to know anything, they're not going to see any difference. They're going to see the same staff, the same people they've been working with for years."
The five practices comprise 106 physicians and 20 advanced practitioners in more than 12 specialties and sub specialties, all of whom are now employees of SPHP, according to a press release from the organization. In total, the five practices have 30 locations throughout five upstate counties.
An additional 151 physicians and 36 advanced practitioners who are presently employed at SPHP or one of the organization's several affiliates will join SPHP Medical Associates later in 2013. Those affiliates include St. Peter's Hospital, Samaritan Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital and Albany Memorial Hospital.
The five practices that joined Jan. 2 were:
- Pulmonary and Critical Care Services
- Braverman-Panza Medical Group
- William Hennessey, GYN
- Altamont Pediatrics and Internal Medicine
- Prime Care Physicians (including Albany Associates in Cardiology, Prime Care Capital District Primary Care, Northeast Advanced Imaging, Prime Care Imaging, Prime Care Urgent Care, Prime Care Mid Valley Cardiology, and Prime Care Downstate Primary Care).

Three facing charges following Friday shootings
BY KENDRICK MARSHALL World Staff Writer
Wednesday, December 05, 2012
Three people who were arrested last week in connection to a series of shootings were charged Wednesday in Tulsa County District Court.
Reggie Williams, 18, Brittany Sanders, 24, and Demarreion Aldredge, 18 were charged with two counts of shooting with intent to kill, feloniously pointing a firearm and committing a felony with a firearm with a defaced serial number.
Prosecutors allege they were acting in concert during the Nov. 29 shootings.
It is alleged one of them pointed a gun and shot at a truck near Young Street and Wheeling Avenue about 3 a.m, according to a police report.
Nearly 30 minutes later, police were called to Hillcrest Medical Center in reference to a woman who was shot in both arms in a car while driving east on Virgin Street at Madison Avenue, the report said.
Later that morning, officers were dispatched to the 3600 block of North Hartford Avenue after a woman reported that three people in the road pointed a gun at her, police said. She was able to drive away unharmed.
While speaking with the woman, officers noticed three people in the road, and they were interviewed and later booked into the Tulsa Jail.
Authorities were able to recover a revolver from near one of the suspects, police said. Aldredge remains in the Tulsa Jail on $340,000 bond. Sanders and Williams were not custody as of Wednesday.

Welcome to the Tucson Irish Community
Welcome to the Tucson Irish Community, devoted to continuing our Irish traditions in a spirit of cooperation and good will. We will continue to keep you current on news and events related to the local Irish and Scottish community. We are including a series of profiles of members of our local Irish community. Let us know whose profile you would like to read and if that be you, give us your fascinating information! We also have a new section for reviews. And our guestbook is now active. Please write the webmasters with what content you would like to see. This is a monitored guestbook to eliminate spam comments, so there is a delay between your post and it appearing.
See the 2013 St. Patrick's Day Parade and Festival pictures here. All parade pictures are posted, but I am still working on festival pictures. No tags are added yet for 2013. (Bear with me as I am uploading these pictures without the assistance of our web designer, who died last month, so they are being added much more slowly than in past years. I have to upload them one at a time, and there are more than 300 pictures. It will take a few days. Also, I will not add keywords to this year's photos until they are all uploaded.) Pictures may be downloaded free for non-commercial use (tip: be sure to download the picture, not the thumbnail). If you post a picture on your personal or group web site, the photo credit is: copyright 2013, Aine Ni Haralambie, www.tucsonirishcommunity.com. We have added key words to enable you to search pictures (use fewer words—the search looks only for an exact match). We have pictures starting with the 2000 parade and festival. When our server crashed, we lost the 2006 and 2007 albums; I have uploaded the 2007 pictures, but I will not be able to title or key word them. The 2006 pictures may be on a different computer, but they aren't online now. The 2009 pictures probably won't get titles. The 2008 pictures are up with titles. All photos were taken with high resolution, but posted with lower resolution. Let us know if you want a high resolution digital copy of a picture.

East Coast storm brings blizzard of social tweets and posts
Twitter and Facebook light up with jokes, information and warnings about #Nemo
Computerworld - When there's a blizzard approaching, people flock to grocery stores for bread and milk, test their generators...and nowadays take to Twitter and Facebook.
Social networks have lit up with activity as a blizzard of of potentially historic proportions rolls toward New England, potentially dumping more than two feet of snow and bringing winds of 50 to 60 mph through Saturday afternoon.
"Listen, I know the snow hasn't fallen yet, but now is the right time to size up the people you're with and figure out who can be eaten," @maureenjohnson tweeted around noon.
She was just one of the people who took to Twitter to joke about, complain about or post videos and photos of the mounting snow storm.
Twitter's new six-second video service Vine also is getting a workout today, with people uploading videos ranging from kids making snow angels to snow blowing across backyards and beaches.
For example, @chrisbrogan tweeted, "Snow angel! http://vine.co/v/bn9nV0YBAXD." And Vermont newspaper The Burlington Free Press tweeted this Vine video of the storm blanketing city streets: "Church and College Streets Friday #btv #snow http://vine.co/v/bnE6ebp2Dne."
Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, said he's not at all surprised that people are spending so much time on social networks talking about and getting information about the storm. After all, a lot of people are working from home today and they're looking for the latest information about the snow.
"People love to connect when the weather's threatening," he added. "Basically, it's a little scary and we don't want to be alone. It's a common subject, affecting us all."
Following storm updates, from both meteorologists and family and friends, also lets people track the course of the storm and the damage it might be bringing.
"For some, it gives you a better sense of what to expect," said Gottheil. "It can give you some warning about power outages, for instance, or restoration of power."
However, it's not just meteorologists and weather geeks who are tweeting and posting.
The New York City Mayor's office is putting out storm warnings and information for city residents. One tweet noted, "Fun fact: There are 6,300 street miles in New York City to be plowed and salted -- that's like going from NYC to LA and back. #Nemo"
Cory Booker, the major of Newark, N.J., also tweeted, "Please check in on/help others. We're a lot like snow flakes. Individually we are beautiful yet fragile. Together we are a powerful force."
NASA also got in on the fun, tweeting a satellite image of the storm, noting, "Call it what you want (#nemo) but this winter nor'easter is looking massive."
Although winter storms are not named officially like hurricanes, the Weather Channel has given this one a name: Nemo.
Today, though, is largely about weather predictors.
The Weather Channel has been tweeting storm updates all day, as has the Weather Underground. "And here is a webcam of that 7" inches of snow in Scarborough, ME," tweeted the Weather Underground.
The National Weather Service is using the blizzard to test a system where it pulls in people's weather observations via Twitter.
"Everyone talks about the weather," the service noted on its Web page. "Now's your chance to "tweet" it and be heard. Through an experimental program, the National Weather Service will be searching for tweets that contain significant weather information."
To stay up-to-date on weather conditions in downtown Boston, IDG News Live has set up a Boston Blizzard Cam.

Cenozoic eraCenozoic era (sēnəzōˈĭk, sĕn–) [key], last major division of geologic time (see Geologic Timescale, table) lasting from 65 million years ago to the present. The Cenozoic is divided into the Tertiary (from 65 million years ago until 2 million years ago) and Quaternary (2 million years ago to the present) periods. Early in the Cenozoic, Greenland began to separate from Europe; Antarctica and Australia, and Africa and India also separated. The great Alpine-Himalayan mountain systems were formed; rifting with associated volcanic activity occurred in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Antarctica. In the late Cenozoic, the Cascade Range of volcanoes extended from southern British Columbia to N California, and represented a new volcanic arc superimposed on older structures. The volcanic arc is still periodically active today. Following the disturbances of the late Mesozoic era, the geography of North America had by the beginning of the Cenozoic attained substantially its present form. The only areas subjected to inundation by shallow marine waters were the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and a small area on the Pactific coast. Most of today's common plants and insects can be recognized in early Cenozoic fossils. Modern grasses appeared in the mid-Cenozoic. The animal life of the Cenozoic was dominated by mammals, which were most numerous in the Tertiary period and declined, with the exception of a few specialized types, in the Quaternary period. Theories explaining the decline or extinction of mammals during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs of the quaternary have ranged from a change in climate to the predation of humans. Cenozoic land mammals were never as large as the Mesozoic dinosaurs, but many were larger than today's mammals, and included beavers that grew to lengths of more than 7 ft (2 m), sloths as large as elephants, and birds up to 7 ft (2 m) in height. Around one million years ago, the ancestors of Homo sapiens, or modern humans, became dominant. Early humans are thought to have evolved in Africa during the Miocene and were widespread and accomplished toolmakers by the beginning of the Pleistocene; theory states that H. sapiens evolved in Asia and moved to Europe c.50,000 years ago, developed a form of agriculture in the Middle East c.10,000 years ago, and started writing and building the first cities c.4,000 years ago.

Well, I've made some progress at last. Now my test app lets you logon automatically if you happen to have a certificate whose name and email matches a user in the DB. Still, you have to have some certificate just to get to the site, but "a progress there is".
Now I'll try to figure out how to generate certificates for users (and the root cert too). The code is a mess, but it works, kinda.
UPD: wow! I just found http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/QuickCert/, it may save me 90% of the pain with the almost undocumented OpenSSL library!

Every once in a while something that seems to illustrate the current astrology perfectly gets written about on Planet Waves, and then a little more information about it comes to light or a better example surfaces, or both. Such is the case with the One Billion Rising example I used in today's Daily Astrology post below. It has some problems.
The idea of one billion women (and men) dancing around the world all at once is still a fantastic image of collectively raising the vibration. But Eve Ensler and her V-Day foundation are problematic, and in a sense, what they've come to be about runs counter to the astrology's message to 'stand out'.
For one, check out the Wiki page about feminist criticism of The Vagina Monologues, which includes this passage:
The Vagina Monologues has been criticized by a number of people in the pro-sex feminist, gender egalitarian, and individualist feminist movements. Harriet Lerner, renowned in the field of women's psychology, points out the "psychic genital mutilation" embedded in the play's title, which ignores the clitoris and labia, and should more accurately be called "The Vulva Monologues." Pro-sex feminist Betty Dodson, author of several books about female sexuality, saw the play as having a negative and restrictive view of sexuality and an anti-male bias. She called the play "a blast of hatred at men and heterosexuality." Individualist feminist Wendy McElroy agreed, stating that the play "equates men with 'the enemy' and heterosexual love with violence."
In other words, The Vagina Monologues and the V-Day Foundation that was built on its success essentially perpetuate violence despite claiming to be against violence. They do so in part by putting forth a viewpoint that 'men are violent' while ignoring male victims of sexual violence (consider the abuses by the Catholic Church prompting Pope Benedict XVI's resignation announced today, or the circumcision of baby boys). And unfortunately, The V-Day Foundation is becoming a form of corporate exploitation of violence under the guise of an anti-violence message, according to some critics.
Now, about the astrology: given how unassailable The Vagina Monologues has become (critics of productions on college campuses often find themselves shunned at best, fired at worst; it is very difficult to critique Ensler and The V-Day Foundation without being labeled a misogynist), does joining One Billion Rising actually constitute 'standing out'? Or is it actually an example of conformity by women?
I'm not suggesting that people should not join in the event — I still think that millions of women dancing worldwide is a wonderful thing. But it's worth asking whether conforming to an essentially corporate endeavor built on an anti-male, anti-heterosexual-sex agenda is truly daring or creative.
As one of our commenters noted under the Daily Astrology post, "a Pope who has been very criticized for his 'old' views just did an extremely 'modern' action." In a bizarre twist, we're seeing a Catholic Pope 'stand out', apparently in relation to the rape of little boys by Catholic priests: sexual violence toward young men. I'm not praising Benedict XVI per se since I don't have all the facts yet, and Eric will have more to say about the Pope's decision and the astrology in tonight's Daily Astrology and also in tomorrow's Planet Waves FM. But it is worth noting how striking the move is.
It's also worth noting where you truly stand on the issue of healing both halves of the perpetuated divide between genders when it comes to sexual violence. It's worth considering how you can truly stand out. Just how creative you can get with something as simple as a camera or a dance or a poem or set of paints right now? What do you have to say?
