Pearl Harbor - December 7, 1941
December 7, 2012
December 7, 1941 is a date which will live in infamy. Any unfounded illusions held by peace-loving Americans concerning the intentions of Imperial Japan or its ally Nazi Germany were painfully but necessarily shattered that day, on which our nation was stirred into action before it was too late to stop the threat that the Axis powers posed
to us and the rest of the world.
Franklin Roosevelt is universally acclaimed as a good war president, guiding the United States through an unprecedented time of global upheaval. His domestic policies, however, granted enormous powers to the federal government that it has not since failed to abuse.
The Axis powers have come and gone, but the internal dangers created by Roosevelt's New Deal still plague us today. No member of the Greatest Generation could have predicted that while Japan, our deadliest enemy, would soon become one of our closest allies, a benign little program called Social Security would one day threaten to exhaust our nation's finances and economy.
The most devastating attack since December 7, 1941 came nearly sixty years later, on September 11. Very few, in the wake of that day, could have imagined that we would not suffer an attack of similar magnitude within the next seven years. But for the rest of George Bush's presidency, the country was kept safe, notwithstanding the moral indignation of those who wished to bestow the constitutional rights enjoyed by American citizens on the cutthroats devoted to those citizens' destruction. But even the Bush administration, through entitlement expansion, subsidized housing, and more spending, helped contribute to our current fiscal troubles.
We face weighty international challenges today, with a Middle East as unstable as ever and a state sponsor of terrorism still intent on obtaining a nuclear weapon. But the United States, miraculously, has thus far survived every single external threat, often emerging stronger than before. For the most part, the federal government over the years has fulfilled its primary role of protecting the citizenry and providing for the common defense. But the ugly visage of international Communism has proven a less formidable adversary than the iconic, mass-produced smiley-face of Westernized socialism.
For this generation of Americans, it is our budgets, not our battlefields, which are stained red -- and the small, internal matters, more so than anything dramatic, that have slowly but very steadily contributed to the possibility of a looming demise.
Our next bunch of heroic representatives who will take office in Washington this January are not unlikely to bungle the complex matters of Israel and Egypt and Iran, along with the simple and commonplace act of balancing a budget. But it may well be the latter failure that most imperils our nation's future.
Bee's Note:
My dear mother's generation lived through the "Great Wall Street Crash" of 1929, which led to the "Great Depression" lasting ten years. My mother was second oldest of eight siblings and the memory of her family "surviving" during those ten years remained with her for the rest of her life. Her father was fortunate to have a job, but feeding a family of ten, plus a grandmother who lived with her family, took ingenuity and an imagination! The family began raising chickens and growing vegetable gardens. If one of the children needed a new dress or suit, her mother and grandmother became adapt at ripping up curtains and turning them into a new dress. In their cellar (basement), the walls were lined with canned vegetables and sacks of potatoes. Every single penny made by the children, doing odd jobs, was put into the "family" jar - the "community" bank. In one corner of the living room was an old piano, where the family gathered after the evening meal to sing songs, while her grandmother played the piano. (Here is where my mother learned how to play the piano.)
Hard to imagine people singing through difficult times, but that was the one entertainment that cemented my mother's family together and that was fortunate for me and my family, as I remember always having the sounds of music throughout the home during my childhood years. Mom had a beautiful singing voice and so did her sisters, and when the relatives visited, we gathered around that old piano and sing the songs of that era, one after another, from heart - never having to look at a music book for the words. Like my grandparents, my mother could make one dollar stretch as far as a twenty dollar bill today.
And when World War II broke out, my mother's four brothers served our country in both the Navy and Army. All the men came home - our family was truly blessed. Everyone survived the Crash and the War.
Today, shades of the past were brought forward since 9/11. Perhaps not as bad, but certainly not as good as the 1950's and early 60's. The threats of our nation falling off the 'Fiscal Cliff" have many crying out, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" However, I do not press the panic button, because I do remember the stories told by my parents, and know that just as their families survived, our nation came together and also survived.
America is a nation of "Survivors"! Therefore, I do not believe that even if all of us are touched by this thing called the "Fiscal Cliff", America will not fail. The only difference today, one that could drag us down, is the fact that today's leaders in Washington, DC are allowing an administration to embrace and support the enemy of these United States. We knew who our enemies were before the attack on Pearl Harbor and we understood what we were fighting against. Our leaders did not cover up the names and the tyranny of our enemies - we fought against them as a nation. Those enemies are now some of America's best allies.
As heartbreaking as it is today, to hear of the financial difficulties families are experiencing, we will survive this period as our grandparents once did; but will America survive the current leadership that supports our enemies throughout the Middle East, while it condemns our one ally Israel in that same area of the world? When will our federal government acknowledge that Israel is the only "buffer" from having the entire Middle East explode? The talk of Syria using chemical weapons is an example of how desperate that area has become and could be the beginnings of WWIII, as some predict today.
America, today we remember Pearl Harbor Day - the day of infamy! May we learn the lessons of that day, when our nation became "One" in unity. That generation, even after the loss of thousands of good men and women, survived to fight another day. How is it that since 9/11, we have become so divided? The House and Senate had better get their ducks in a row and start communicating; and Congress needs to begin doing their job of protecting the citizens who voted them into Office - they need to put the reigns on an administration that refuses to acknowledge the difference between America's enemies and its allies.

New Delhi: This winter season fliers may expect less inconvenience due to fog at the Delhi airport as its operator has taken measures to provide flight information on real-time basis and reduce flight delays and cancellations.
"To reduce delays and congestion due to fog, we have devised a plan along with various stakeholders that would ensure smooth flow of flight information on almost real time basis to the passengers," said I Prabhakar Rao, Chief Executive Officer of Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) during a workshop on fog here.
Passengers would be provided accurate information about flights through Flight Information Display System (FIDS) at the airport terminal.
It would be updated regularly by the Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC) based on the information given by the airlines, he said.
Elaborating on the other facilities, DIAL's Chief Operation Officer, Marcel Hungerbuehler said the number of help desks has been increased as also the food and beverage (F&B) counters.
"There is a combined seating arrangement at Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 of 16,900, also there are around 6,100 trolleys for the passengers. There are 24 F&B counters at T1, 27 at domestic side of T3 and 29 on the international side of T3 for convenience of the passengers," Hungerbuehler said.
On the city side, additional traffic marshals and two cranes have been deployed for smooth traffic movement, he said.
Hungerbuehler said cooperation is expected from stakeholders like airlines, air traffic management officials, ground handlers, food and beverage counters to ensure less inconvenience caused to the passengers.
MeT department has predicted that dense fog is likely to descend upon the airport from 20 December.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Freshman guard John Green had 17 points and nine rebounds and freshman forward Alan Williams added 10 points and seven boards, as UC Santa Barbara opened its 2011-12 basketball season with a 67-51 exhibition win over San Francisco State on Saturday night at the Thunderdome.
Green and Williams, along with sophomore guard Kyle Boswell, sparked an 11-0 second half run that turned a 47-45 Gaucho lead into a 58-45 advantage. Boswell had 11 points in the game.
"I didn't like the way we came out to start the second half," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "We didn't come out with much personality, so I brought in a new five and that seemed to get us back on track. I really liked the energy that group played with."
The Gauchos led 30-20 at halftime but the Gators used a 13-2 run to open the second half, taking a 33-32 lead. At that point, Williams subbed in Green, Boswell, senior Greg Somogyi, and freshmen T.J. Taylor and Lewis Thomas. Green immediately made a three-pointer to give UCSB a 35-33 lead that it never relinquished.
San Francisco State kept the game close until the 11-0 run. Senior Christian Peterson started the run with 7:42 left in the game when he was fouled while making a lay-up. He missed the free throw, but Williams knocked the ball out of bounds off of a Gator and the Gauchos retained possession.
Back-to-back lay-ups by Williams and Boswell boosted the lead to 53-45. Another lay-up by Williams and a long three-pointer by Boswell completed the rally and gave UCSB a 58-45 lead.
"I was really nervous at the start of the game," Williams said. "Playing in front of our own crowd really got me going. It was a great experience."
A 6-foot-7 post player from Phoenix, Williams is expected to play a role for Santa Barbara when the regular season begins on Nov. 11. In fact, he, Green and Taylor will almost undoubtedly be on the active roster rather than redshirting.
"Those three will play," declared Bob Williams, who is entering his 14th season at UCSB. "Big Al (Williams) will get time at the five. T.J. (Taylor) is going to bring us some good things at the point and John (Green) has such a good feel for things, especially offensively. He can just flat-out score."
Green, a native of Oakland, played at Westwind Prep in Phoenix last year and while he accompanied the Gauchos on their five-game tour of eastern Canada, he did not play because he had an injured food. In fact, he was inactive for three months prior to being cleared just before the start of practice in October.
"He was basically idol for three months, in a cast and a walking boot," Coach Williams said. "He is going to be even better as his conditioning improves, but he just has such a good feel on the offensive end."
Senior James Nunnally scored 13 points to give UCSB four players in double-figures. Nunnally also added a game-high six assists and had just one turnover. He made 3-of-4 shots from beyond the 3-point arc. Boswell was 3-of-5.
Santa Barbara was playing without senior guard Orlando Johnson, who was nursing a sore Achilles, and sophomore transfer forward Keegan Hornbuckle who had a sore back.
The Gators were led by Nefi Perdomo and Griffin Reilly who had 20 and 16 points respectively.
The Gauchos open the regular season on Friday, Nov. 11 when they host Chapman College in a 7:00 p.m. game at the Thunderdome. Tickets are available from the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, by calling 805-893-UCSB (8272) or on-line by clicking here.

non-Euclidean geometry
non-Euclidean geometry, branch of geometry in which the fifth postulate of Euclidean geometry, which allows one and only one line parallel to a given line through a given external point, is replaced by one of two alternative postulates. Allowing two parallels through any external point, the first alternative to Euclid's fifth postulate, leads to the hyperbolic geometry developed by the Russian N. I. Lobachevsky in 1826 and independently by the Hungarian Janos Bolyai in 1832. The second alternative, which allows no parallels through any external point, leads to the elliptic geometry developed by the German Bernhard Riemann in 1854. The results of these two types of non-Euclidean geometry are identical with those of Euclidean geometry in every respect except those propositions involving parallel lines, either explicitly or implicitly (as in the theorem for the sum of the angles of a triangle).

Testing Center employee calms nerves, enforces rules
If anyone could be called a "Social Butterfly" and "The Sheriff" in the same sentence, it would be Marsha Garrett. With a permanent smile and vivacious personality, the Testing Center Specialist is able to relax and calm students who are nervous about their exams, while simultaneously keeping an eagle eye out for any type of test-taking misbehavior. Her balanced approach to her job earned her the February Staff Employee of the Month Award last week.
"Marsha is the Sheriff of the Testing Center because anytime she walks the floor and has a feeling that something is not right, she always finds someone doing something they aren't supposed to," said Aisha McGrapth, Enrollment Services, who nominated Garrett for the award. "Marsha took the task of working with Kellie Brennan, Student Conduct director, to work with any student who has been caught cheating or otherwise being disruptive in the Testing Center before that student is allowed to return."
"One of Marsha's other responsibilities is processing make-up exams submitted by faculty," said McGrapth. "She created a new quarterly report that tracks how many makeup exams are submitted, which departments submitted them, and how many are taken. She then works with instructors to make sure the process runs smoothly."
"Marsha has added to both the service and the atmosphere in the Testing Center," said supervisor Michelle Teasley. "Her personality is magnetic and she reminds us all to serve the students and the faculty with a smile!"

Ignore his status as Nobel Peace Prize winner; it's the man who said "Speak softly but carry a big stick" and led the Rough Riders that we're interested in. The man who, after being President of the United States, decided that it was time to go on safari in Africa and capture 11,397 animals, just because, and who delivered a ninety minute speech minutes after being shot in the chest because he'd decided that, if he wasn't coughing blood, then he probably wasn't in too much danger (He was right). That kind of do-or-die spirit - not to mention willingness to get the job done no matter what common sense or medical science would suggest - is just the kind of thing we'd look for in a man fighting an unknown enemy. Although maybe with a little bit more forethought to not get shot in the chest. Who knows what lasers could do, after all?

The Allman Brothers Band - Hell & high water lyrics
Hell & high water by The Allman Brothers Band
by Dickey Betts
(c) 1980 EMI Blackwood Music Inc. and Pangola Publishing Company
We've been through hell and high water,
Ready to go through it all again.
As long as we've got a quarter between us all,
We're gonna have money to spend, oh.
Kicked down the doors in New Orleans,
We got busted at Grove Hill where nobody goes,
And Long Bob drove us to the Badlands,
You can bet your ass we're gonna make it down to tomorrow night's show.
We took time by the horns,
Cryin' out loud,
Stood there naked up there in front of the crowd,
Been a million miles,
On a lost highway,
They might name a street after us one of these days.
Oh, we've seen the good times, we've seen the bad.
Worse time we ever seen, is the best some folks ever had,
And the Stone mowed us down, with a cold-hearted quill,
But we ain't changed our ways, and I guess we never will.

A Gastonia truck driver delivered more bad news to a Lenoir County couple already struggling with the passing of their son.
A Gastonia truck driver delivered more bad news to a Lenoir County couple already struggling with the passing of their son.
Richard Davis, 46, of Gastonia crashed his tractor trailer through the singlewide mobile home of Mary Lou and Curt King on Monday morning. The crash destroyed the home near Kinston in eastern North Carolina.
�It�s just unreal,� Mary Lou King said, standing next to the ruin of her home.
The Kings were not home around 10:30 a.m. when a Penske rental truck driven by Davis came through their home, which is just east of the intersection of U.S. 70 East and Lynley Place Drive.
N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper R.B. Kirk said Davis was driving the truck, which had been rented to haul material for his employer, from Beaufort to the Charlotte area.
He was driving in the westbound lanes of U.S. 70 East when he started feeling unwell and looked for a place to pull off the highway.
Davis lost consciousness, though, and traveled about 480 feet from his lane across the median, across the eastbound lanes and struck a roadside ditch. He then traveled another 270 feet across a yard, taking out a fence, tree branches and a utility pole before crashing through the Kings� trailer, Kirk said.
The loss of the utility pole caused about 1,820 Progress Energy Carolinas customers in the area to lose power.
Progress spokesman Jeff Brooks said the pole was along a major �feeder line� serving Kinston customers. Power was fully restored around 12:45 p.m. Monday.
Highway Patrol Sgt. G.S. Hemby said at the scene about 75 Suddenlink cable and Internet customers were also affected by the crash.
Utility crews at the scene worked among downed power lines that stretched across the yard of a house next to the Kings � the house is owned by their son Lynn. The yard was strewn with debris from the truck�s cab, which was entirely inside the Kings� trailer.
Lynn King, also a truck driver, was on his way home when he received a call from his mother about the accident.
When she first described it to him, he did not picture an 18-wheeler being in the house.
�She said a truck was in her house,� he recalled. �I was thinking it was a Ford Ranger (pickup).�
The Kings own the nearby Mary Lou�s Grill & Sandwich and King�s 66 Service Station, at U.S. 70 East and Whaley Road.
�Thank the Lord nobody was in there but our puppy dogs, and they were able to get themselves out,� Mary Lou King said of her home as family members comforted her.
She said her husband would ordinarily have been home at the time the truck came through, but he was working at the service station Monday morning.
Another one of their children, 44-year-old Milton Ross King, passed away earlier this month from cancer, and a benefit was recently held in his memory � barbecued chicken and barbecued pork plates were sold to help raise money to help support his surviving wife and young children.
Many of the Kings� immediate and extended family members live within the small cluster of homes past Lynley Place Drive, and they rallied around them Monday.
The restaurant remained open Monday even while the electricity was off. The Kings� grandson, John Paul, said food could still be cooked on the gas-powered grill.
He said his grandparents will most likely stay with one of their relatives who live nearby.
Davis was treated and released from Lenoir Memorial Hospital, said LMH spokeswoman Barbara LaRoque.
Kirk said Davis was charged with reckless driving.

Leveraging Technology to Reduce Implicit Bias and Improve Population Health Metrics

|Proactive Ochsner Encounters is a systematic approach which empowers all members of the clinic team to proactively identify and close gaps in patients' preventive cancer screenings and vaccinations. Currently, Primary Care is responsible for closing care gaps for our patients, but not all patients see their Primary Care Provider on a regular basis. The goal of the project is to improve our patients health status through increased compliance with preventive screening measures, specifically by engaging specialty care teams to assist in reminding patients during specialty visits that they are overdue for these screenings. To do this, the EMR was reconfigured to utilize a reminder for any patient who has an Ochsner Primary Care Provider and one of the following screenings overdue: mammograms, diabetic retinopathy exams, colorectal screenings, and flu, tetanus, pneumonia, and shingles vaccinations. This method not only engages the specialty clinics in Population Health, but also leverages the EMR to promote equality of care. In listening to our team's feedback and partnering with the experts in EPIC, we built a solution which functions on automation. At Registrations, a document will automatically print out that has the patient's overdue screening listed, as well as a brief description of why that screening is important and why early detection is key. Patients are able to review this while waiting to head back to the clinic exam room. Once in the exam room, EPIC built a function within the rooming tab which prompts the MA or Nurse to remind the patient they have an overdue screening. The providers also see this during their visit. If a patient would like to schedule the screening, they are able to do so as they leave the clinic. Utilizing EPIC and enhanced functionality, we are able to remind patients of these important screenings at each touch during a clinic visit. We currently are live with this proactive approach in our specialty clinics at one of our campuses at Ochsner Health System, and plan to be live in a total of 5 campuses by the end of 2019. We also have plans to engages our online portal (MyOchsner) and central scheduling, so that if patient are making appointment on their own online or if they are calling us to make an appointment, they will also be reminded of their overdue screenings.

A Widow's Story....
Subject:The death of Marine Captain Richard Louis Basinger in the Vietnam
Written by his widow : Nelda Sue Shafer Basinger Ludwig
Dick and I were married May 30, 1964 on a beautiful Memorial Day. After
completing four years of college, Dick and I went to Columbus, Ohio where
he was sworn in as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. His
first orders were Pensacola, Florida, where he was to become a pilot. I
became with child on the way to Florida, and nine months later we had a
beautiful baby boy, Mark Randall Basinger on March 21, 1965.
After flight training was completed, Dick was transferred to Camp LaJaun,
North Carolina. Soon after he had orders for duty in Viet Nam. Mark was 17
months old when Dick left. It was a beautiful day; we had said our good-byes
to everyone except our own special love was expressed in that morning
before we went to the train station in Lima, Ohio. As we arrived and Dick
was kissing Mark and I goodbye, there was a woman there who said, "I cannot
stand to watch this", because she knew Dick was going off to war. The
ironic thing was that five years earlier I had met Dick at that train
station as a young girl of 18. I was now 23 and Dick would soon be 24.
I said goodbye to my husband and went to my mothers, where we visited
daily. Mark and I had an upstairs apartment. One morning in February of
1967, a Marine Corps officer came to my door and informed me that Dick had
been wounded in his leg by shrapnel. Dick later called me to say that he
almost got to come home. Mark had just turned two years old, and I thought
to myself "what would keep Dick alive?" I tried to go on with my motherly
duties attending to our son. We would talk to Daddy on the old fashioned
tapes that we used to send back and forth.
I was active in the Servicemen's wives club affiliated with the YWCA. My
birthday was May 11, 1967, and on May 14 Mark and I were in a Loyalty Day
parade in which we rode a wagon with the American flag made of flowers. The
next day I attended church for Mothers day. The following day was May 16,
1967; Mark was in bed. I had always checked the front window before I
answered the door since Dick had been wounded. This morning I did not check
the front window. The door bell rang and I opened the front door. There
were two Marines there. They said, "May we come in Mrs. Basinger". As we
proceeded up the stairway I said to them, "Is he dead?" They replied,
"Yes." My body went numb; I walked back and forth checking on Mark, not
knowing what to do next. They complimented me on my behavior. I knew I had
to call some people. I called my parents first and then Dad Lorain A.
Basinger. Mama said, "Oh God, No" and ran to the fields to tell Dick's
Within a half hour reality had set in and I realized that Dick was actually
killed one day after my birthday May 12, 1967; they never told me until May
16, 1967. It was a very cloudy day. I knew I had to be a strong wife. I had
been trained as a Marine Corps wife. I had to represent my husband in death
for Mark and I. All that Mark remembers about the entire event is the color
of the carpeting at the funeral home. He was so little, but he still sensed
that something was wrong with Mommy.
Dick's remains were sent to Lima and arrived at the same train station we
had said our good-byes at nine months earlier. My brother, James Carl
Shafer, my Dad, and Dad Lorain A. Basinger met the train; it was too hard
for me to go. As they lifted the casket from the train, a very young Navy
sailor saluted the casket as it went by him. My brother always said this
was one of the most touching things. After the funeral on May 29, 1967, my
brother took me back to the apartment. I looked out the window and said
"what must I do with my wedding ring?" I took it off my left hand and put
in on my right. I knew in reality it was over. My brother said, "there is
nothing left to do." The government had sent Captain Gene Gruhler to escort
Dick's remains and to look after me. This gave me the strength to face this
Captain Richard Louis Basinger has lived on in my heart for 32 years, and
also through our son Mark, who is now 34. The love has come back to me
through Mark's two daughters, Sara and Kari Basinger and their mother Amy.
I am still very proud of our country, and honor the fact that I was a wife
of a serviceman. I appreciate all that has been said to my son Mark, who is
talking to many men who were with Dick in his Vietnam tour. All I can say
is all the information gathered at this time is very, very SPECIAL TO ME
AND COMFORTING. I did my best to raise Mark to believe in all the things
for which his father died.
Most Sincerely, Respectfully
In honor of my husband,
Nelda Sue Shafer Basinger Ludwig

Anderson Silva's family hoped his broken leg would persuade him to retire from mixed martial arts.
Instead, the gruesome injury only made him more determined to return to the cage.
The former UFC middleweight champion said Friday that he never seriously considered quitting his sport. When he was certain his leg would hold up under competition again, Silva agreed to fight Nick Diaz at UFC 183 on Jan. 31 in Las Vegas.
"I'm just dying to return to the octagon and do the thing that I most love in my life, and that's happening right now," Silva said through a translator.
The Brazilian star's wife and five children reluctantly support his comeback.
"To tell you the truth, they are not too happy," Silva said. "But they respect my wish, and now they're coping with it. … I don't think anybody's family would like to see them going to war, and with mine, it wouldn't be different."
The 39-year-old Silva will be back in the octagon with a titanium rod in his left leg. He broke his shin in cringe-inducing fashion when middleweight champion Chris Weidman blocked a kick during their rematch in December, and the rod was inserted into his leg to help its healing.
Silva (33-6) has been training for several weeks, even though his leg isn't at full strength. He believes he'll have plenty of time to get ready for Diaz (26-9), another popular MMA veteran coming off a long layoff.
"I have been doing a lot of physical therapy, and right now it's at 95 percent and improving," said Silva, who updates his fans with frequent training videos on social media. "The day of the fight, it's going to be 100 percent."
When Silva left the Las Vegas arena screaming in pain on a stretcher, many fans assumed his career was finished. Silva dominated his division with 16 straight victories and a UFC-record 10 consecutive title defenses during his nearly seven-year reign before Weidman stopped him in the second round of their July 2013 bout.
Silva and Diaz are slated to headline the UFC's traditional Super Bowl weekend show in an intriguing matchup of superior strikers. Silva and Diaz have long been considered two of the UFC's best boxers, and both fighters have contemplated taking a pro boxing match at different points in their MMA careers.
"I believe it's going to be one of the best standup battles of the UFC," Silva said.
Silva is even thinking beyond his fight with Diaz, saying he plans to fulfill his UFC contract, which still has seven fights remaining. He claims another title shot isn't his biggest priority, with Weidman firmly in control of the 185-pound division after his win over Lyoto Machida last month.
"Right now it's not a priority, but it's not out of the question to fight for the title," Silva said. "If I have the credentials to fight for the title, I'll be more than glad to do it."

In mathematics, symmetry has more than just a visual or geometric quality. Mathematicians comprehend symmetries as motions—motions whose interactions and overall structure give rise to an important mathematical concept called a "group." This unit explores Group Theory, the mathematical quantification of symmetry, which is key to understanding how to remove structure from (i.e., shuffle) a deck of cards or to fathom structure in a crystal.
They say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What we consider to be beautiful in nature, art, or music often differs from culture to culture. But somehow, there seem to be constants — commonalities in how we as human beings "see" beauty. Where does that "sense" of beauty and order come from? And what does algebra or geometry have to do with it?
The mathematical study of symmetry is the rigorous study of the commonalities between objects or situations.
Using common motions, such as rotation and reflection, this interactive will introduce the parameters for symmetry groups. You will be able to experiment with wallpaper patterns using their base objects.

INSIDE THE SERIES: This will be the first meeting ever between the Retrievers and the Redhawks.
A GLANCE AT THE RETRIEVERS: A pair of seniors should lead the Retrievers on the offensive and defensive ends of the field. Senior forward Pete Caringi III (Perry Hall, Md./Calvert Hall), tabbed a a preseason All-American by College Soccer News, recorded a career-best 14 goals and 32 total points in 2012 . He finished the season ranked 23rd in the nation in points per game. Senior netminder Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall)
posted 10 shutouts a season ago, falling one short of Brian Rowland's single-season record (11, 2002). He led America East with a 0.72 goals against average and placed 13th in the nation, while his save percentage of 81.9 finished at 28th in the country
A GLANCE AT THE REDHAWKS: The Seattle University men's soccer team is now a member of the Western Athletic Conference, as the league announced they will sponsor the sport for the first time since 1999.

Trailside chain repair isn't much fun, but SRAM makes it a touch easier with the SRAM 9-Speed Power Link. The Power Link allows you to connect or disconnect your chain without the use of tools, making cleaning your chain a breeze as well. As it works for both SRAM and Shimano 9 Speed chains, we don't leave home without one of these in our repair kit.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Definitely went through 4 of these throughout my nine speed career. Way better than using a pin like shimano.
quick and easy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've got a bunch of bikes in my stable--a couple still running bombproof 9-speed drivetrains and a singlespeed that I'm also running a 9speed chain on. Quicklink allows for tool free chain removal and easy chain cleaning (I drop the chain in an old BPA laden nalgene with simplegreen in it or run the chain through an ultrasonic cleaner)--something I do if my drivetrain has seen a harsh environment (rain/slush/snow). I also keep powerlinks (for 9, 10, 11sp) in my on-bike repair kit in the event I've ever got a trailside chain repair to make. Easily worth the few bucks they cost...
Quick and Easy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Ever had chain issues on the trail? Its a pain!! These quick links make life much easier! Throw one in your saddle bag or pocket.
These are a must have.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are a must have in your pack.
For some reason I have had better luck with Shimano chains. Maybe a fluke; but, same trails same bike... switched to Shimano and the breaks stopped. Even still, I use a Sram quick link from the beginning when sizing and installing. I always keep a spare in the pack. More often than not, the spare goes to a friend or other stranded biker on the trail. I will always carry one of these and recommend to all bikers. Quick, easy, and strong.
Ditto...I prefer shimano chain and use either the sram or Connex quicklink...I prefer Connex and they are close to $8 eac and last forever and never open on their own vs Sram at $4 each and last a while and can ope on their own
No chain-tool required, AWESOME!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is something I have not had to use very often, but when I needed it, it was so nice to fix my mountain bike chain without using tools. It was not a "temporary" fix either, it actually works fine as a permanent fix. I still have one of these connectors in my chain. I recommend it!
Carry extras
Your chain may have one of these already, but carry a spare or two for emergency repairs. These are reusable, but their life is also the life of the chain. Basically don't use an old Powerlink with a new chain.
Must Have
I always carry a few of these with me. It literally takes seconds to install if you snap your chain. Worth the money to save frustration on the trail.
Great invention
I carry these for 9,10 and 11 speed chains, I run into people with broken chains on the trail all the time and it is nice to be able to provide some assistance to get them riding again. Everyone should ride with these in their packs.
Great Tool
Good to have should Murphy's Law happens to my PG-950. Its also good to have handy when you teach your kids how to change gears on their new bikes.
Mandatory Gear in any Mountain Bike Pack
There are certain things that you must carry in your backpack every time you leave the trail head. PowerLinks are one of them; just like water, a rain shell, a pump, an extra tube, and a multi-tool.
Unless you like getting stranded, throw one in now and forget about it until it ends up saving you an epic hike out.
A Life-Saver
A little pricey, but when you're on the side of the trail with a broken chain, you could care less.
Agreed with everyone below: these are dead-simple to use and they weigh nothing so why not carry a couple. Worth changing to SRAM chain just for the ease (for XC anyway).
I've got some pretty strong fingers but I had one heck of a time engaging the link until I smartened up. Pop the links in, grab your brake and pedal a couple strokes: the tension from the pedaling engages this little beauty easily.
Great Product
These chain links are really easy to use. They sure beat trying to put a chain back together while on a trail using only your chain breaker (which is possible, but not recommended). Get a Sram chain, buy some of these gold links, and live worry free!
Is the PowerLink compatible with Shimano...
Is the PowerLink compatible with Shimano chains as well?
I have seen this used quite frequently especially as a quick fix for an on trail break. While both companies may tell you no, I have seen this work on several occassions
yes, I have used these on Shimano chains for years. Pic above shows Shimano chain with Sram Power Link.
Yes works with any brand 9 speed chain
simple, perfect
Get one. So easy to use, durable, secure. I have been using these for quite a while and they really take the effort out of putting on a chain or fixing one on the trail. I always carry and extra in my pack in case I break my chain. you will be back on the train in no time with these.
so much better than shimano
if youre messing around changing pins on your shimano chains, STOP! take your chain off your bike and smack yourself in the brain with it. The PowerLink doodad is where all the cool kids are going. I would say the shimano and sram chains are comparable, but the connector is what matters most. and for that, SRAM is one of the most hassle free, no tool needed, magical piece of gear i know of. make the change.
Chain Repairs Made Easy
My friends break a lot of chains for some reason. I picked up a pack of these and now chain repairs are so easy. I just snap in one of these SRAM PowerLink Chain Connector, and away we go. I think that they are worth the price because they are so handy.
Awesome but Pricey
I love these things, we use them all the time in the shop and it makes it sooo much easier to take off chains and clean them and not have to break the chain and put a new chain pin in each time. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because they are a little expensive, I would try and find another brand that is just as good like kmc.

The Tivoli Armeno tap range draws its name from the Italian town of Armeno, which holds the secrets of Italian design within - quite aptly named when one gazes at this modern design marvel with a cunning combination of curves and straight lines.
This basin mixer height can be used with drop in basins, undermount basins and counter top basins that have a tap hole present. This mixer functions best with balanced water pressure.
The tap has an aerator that adds air into the water flow to soften any potential splashing, and has a flow rate of 6 litres per minute – substantially less water is used than older tap models.
The Italian quality, design aspects and craftsmanship of this tap range are outstanding and is therefore supported by a 15 Year Guarantee. This promise is backed up a national service team based throughout South Africa.
The Tivoli product range strongly supports Italtile's LiveGreen ethos threefold: by manufacturing in a responsible manner where the plating plant has zero discharge; recycling all water used during manufacture and finally, it has a controlled, reduced flow rate of 6 l/min.
Note: Product packaged with braided connector hoses with 15 mm connectors.

Resistance, the flip side
I touched on making your spell hit more dangerous last time. The flipside this time – How do you reduce the danger from other spellcasters? Obviously, Resistance. But, how much, and how useful?
First let's grasp the core of spell resistance. If the other side casts a spell that has an effect – fear, blackout, invisibility, or anything like that where it either works or it doesn't – then resistance increases the chance it doesn't. If the other side casts a damage spell, then it reduces how much damage comes through. If both are possibilities (slows and causes XXX damage over the duration aka Mind Flay), then both effects of resistances are possible. I'm not going into the single roll theory and its application in this post.
According to posts the Guys at Blizzard have made, the best possible resistance is 75%. And through other posts and some serious study, we know how to get that 75%. Easy, actually — have five times as much resistance as the opposing spell-caster's level. In fact the formula is fairly simple:
([Resistance value]/[spellcaster level * 5]) * 0.75 = Resist Percent.
Let's take a lower level to show this. 20-29 BG. You're facing a 29 spellcaster, and you want to know how useful (or not) the +4 shadow resist ring is going to be.
(4 / (29*5) )* 0.75 = 2%.
Of course we can flip that. ([Resist Percent]/0.75) * ([spellcaster level] * 5) = Resist Rating. So, how much resist do we need to get a 1% change against level 70 spellcasters?
(.01/0.75) *350 = 4.6667
Every 4 and 2/3 resistance gives us 1% chance of the level 70 spellcaster's spell not working (if all or nothing), and/or reduces the damage by 1%. Wheee.
Prayer of shadow protection II – your "Big one" – is 70 resistance. Against a level 70 spellcaster, that's approximately 15%.
The math works the same for all the resistances. Bottom line – resistance helps, but it's not everything.
2 Responses to "Resistance, the flip side"
Great post. Especially love the formula given:
([Resistance value]/[spellcaster level * 5]) * 0.75 = Resist Percent
I am having difficulty finding a reliable formula for resistances based on comparative levels.
For example:
A level 60 casting on a level 70. (lets assume resistances and spell penetration are zero)
Is there a formula for this situation?
If there is, is there one that also ties in related resistances

Here's why the Angels will make the playoffs in 2014:
Trout and Calhoun: During his first two major league seasons Mike Trout has produced numbers that rival Hall of Famers such as Willie Mays. The twenty-two year-old sensation is the best overall player in the game at an age that many top level talents are still playing double AA ball. He's a once in a generation talent who'll now occupy centerfield after the Peter Bourjos trade. Joining Trout in the outfield is the talented Kole Calhoun. With Bourjos in St. Louis the 26-year-old Calhoun will have an everyday role and look for the lefthander to put together a solid season. He put together solid numbers in 222 plate appearances last season, a performance that should continue since the young outfielder has produced at every level he's played at.
A Healthy Pujols: Albert Pujols tried to gut it out and play with severe pain from Plantar Fasciitis last season, but the severe pain greatly limited the former five-time MVP and eventually ended his season. His inability to run and play the field greatly impacted his performance and impact on the team. After season ending surgery Pujols looks healthy this spring and should have a big season. If Pujols can rebound with a big season the Angels offense will be extremely dangerous.
Offseason Trades: The Angels used two big assets, Peter Bourjos and Mark Trumbo, to acquire help and fill a couple of glaring needs, third base and the pitching staff. The Angels acquired third baseman David Freese and pitchers Tyler Skaggs, Hector Santiago and Fernando Salas in the Bourjos/Trumbo deals. While Freese, a former World Series MVP struggled last season, he's a big improvement over what the Angels trotted out at third last season. Skaggs and Santiago are talented young starters that will give the Angels two very good arms behind Jered Weaver and CJ Wilson. In 23 starts for the White Sox last season Santiago had an excellent 3.56 ERA and 137 strikeouts in 149 innings pitched. The 6'5" Skaggs, a native of Santa Monica, is one of the top young lefthanders in the game. Although they are young both players give the Angels and upgrade n the starting pitching department. Salas is a dependable reliever who saved 24 games for the Cardinals in 2011. He'll join another former Cardinals reliever, Joe Smith, in a revamped bullpen.
Even with the offseason moves the Angels still enter the season with a few question marks. Behind the top five starters there is very little rotation depth, so an injury to a starting pitcher or some tough outings from Skaggs and Santiago could force the Angels to rely on a player like Joe Blanton in the lineup. Offensively the big question mark will continue to be what type of production the Angels can get from Josh Hamilton. The former Ranger had a brutal first half and a somewhat better second half last season, but still well below his career standards. If Hamilton continues to struggle the Angels may miss the big bat of Mark Trumbo in the lineup. Additionally although the acquisitions of Smith and Salas will help the bullpen the Angels relief crew hasn't been the same since Bud Black left to manage the Padres several seasons ago. They have the depth and several good arms in the pen. If they can find consistency and closer Ernesto Frieri can avoid his bouts of wildness the Angels bullpen should be in good shape.
PECOTA, the advanced statistical system invented by Nate Silver for Baseball Prospectus projects the Angels to be a playoff team in 2014. PECOTA projects a wild card finish for the Angels based on having the second ranked offense in the American League for 2014, based on improved seasons from David Freese, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton.
