- Canadian GP - Race
Ferrari flattered by final result - Alonso
Fernando Alonso says the late collision which elevated him to sixth put gloss on the Canadian Grand Prix for Ferrari after fighting for scraps lower down the field for much of the race.
Alonso came into the weekend talking of a challenge to Red Bull but while the entertainment was unfolding out in front the Spaniard was battling for sixth with Nico Hulkenberg and Jenson Button. Alonso crossed the line behind both drivers but had risen to sixth after Felipe Massa and Sergio Perez's last-lap accident and he is under no illusions it does not reflect where Ferrari was all weekend.
"It was a difficult race, no doubt, difficult qualifying and difficult weekend in general, and hopefully next one we can do better," Alonso said. "Obviously we got some extra points with the DNFs at the end but they are lucky points, we are still trying to do a good race. We did improve mainly the aero performance of the car this weekend.
"There are some new parts that we didn't use due to the temperature, but on the engine side there were minimum changes related to the software so I don't think the step was something that we could feel. In the first part I was not very comfortable with the balance and then in the second part I did improve and was more competitive."
Ferrari arrived in Canada optimistic aerodynamic and engine upgrades would push it up the field but Alonso says he just did not have the power to overtake in some areas.
"I reached the group with the front cars but then we were too slow in the straights, which was frustrating as we were unable to pass. We stopped more or less in the laps we would liked to have stopped and put ourselves in the position in the end to have quite a fresh set of tyres to overtake if we had the pace and the top speed necessary to overtake, which we didn't have. That is a shame but I think we did the maximum with what we have. Without the DNFs our positions were ninth and 14th, I think, and that is not enough."
Alonso spent the final stint trying to find a way past the Mercedes-powered car of Hulkenberg but admits Ferrari's power disadvantage made it next to impossible, before both lost out to an opportunistic Button.
"I tried to pass Hulkenberg in very strange places to try to get the overtaking done, which I managed to do but we both went offline and nearly hit the grass and then Button took the opportunity to overtake, and then Hulkenberg overtook me back on the straight and that was it."

|Assistant Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Graduating Year:

• Mighty 1090 Interview (3/2/16)
A two-time U.S. national champion and a two-year team captain at USC, Falcon was named the head coach of the Triton women on Aug. 25, 2011. She had been an assistant coach at UC San Diego for the previous four seasons since 2007.
Falcon has served as the recruiting coordinator for both the men and women's teams and as the director of UCSD swimming camps and clinics. She coached former Triton standout Alex Henley, who won three NCAA titles (400 IM in 2010, 200 butterfly in 2010 and 2011) and holds seven school records.
Since Falcon's arrival, Tritons have won 17 national crowns, broken two NCAA Division II and over 47 school records, produced 121 All-America performances and earned more than 77 conference titles.
In 2015-16 Falcon guided the Triton men and women each to an eighth consecutive Pacific Collegiate Swimming and Diving Conference (PCSC) title.
In 2011-12, the Triton women posted a third-place NCAA finish for the fourth year in succession and 10th time in 12 appearances at the Division II event. The UCSD men also took a fourth PCSC crown in as many seasons before turning in a second straight national runner-up effort.
The Tritons sent their largest contingent to the NCAA Division II Championships for the second year in a row, at 31 after qualifying 30 student-athletes in 2011. Henley broke the UCSD record in the 200 IM (2:01.41, 2nd) and also contributed individual points in the 400 IM (4:19.29, 2nd), 200 back (1:57.58, 2nd) and 100 back (55.13, 4th). Anji Shakya swam to second-place finishes in the 200 free (1:48.45) and 500 free (4:51.14), the latter mark a new school standard.
An all-time high of eight Triton swimmers, including Henley, then competed at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Omaha, Neb., ahead of the 2012 London Games.
In her final turn as assistant coach in 2010-11, Falcon helped the Tritons put together one of their finest seasons. UCSD won its third consecutive PCSC title on both the men and women's sides and went on to post a tremendous showing at the NCAA Championships. The men were second, the team's highest finish to date at the Division II level, while the women took third.
The 2009-10 campaign also featured plenty of impressive performances from the UCSD squad. Henley and Daniel Perdew were crowned as NCAA champions twice each, with the men's squad finishing seventh for the third year in a row and the women placing third. UCSD sent a total of 28 student-athletes, 14 men and 14 women, to the national meet.
Prior to coming to UCSD, Falcon was the head coach at San Diego Mesa College in 2006-07. In 2005-06, she founded Falcon Swim Clinics in Perth, Australia. Falcon has coached with the Bristol Penguin Olympic Swimming Club in England, as well as at her alma mater.
As a competitor on the national scene, Falcon won a pair of U.S. titles - one in the 400 IM (1996), the other in the 800 free relay (2000). She swam in two World University Games (1999, 2001) and was a multiple-event finalist at the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Trials.
A 2002 graduate of USC, Falcon was named the Trojans' Most Valuable Swimmer in 1999-2000, and was runner-up in the 400 IM at the 2000 NCAA Division I Championships.
Falcon earned a degree in communication while minoring in psychology at USC.
Falcon enjoys surfing, open water swimming and yoga. She and her husband, Ian, welcomed their first child, son Kai, in July of 2014, and daughter Isla in September of 2016.

August 25 – Happy Birthday Dooley Womack
Dooley Womack was one of the best relief pitchers on two of the worst Yankee teams in the franchise's fabled history. He made his pinstripe debut in April of 1966, as a seldom used member of Manager Johnny Keane's Yankee bullpen. When that team proceeded to win just four of its first twenty games that season, Ralph Houk took over for Keane and the "Major" took a liking to Womack. The right-handed native of Columbia, SC appeared in 42 games during his rookie season and compiled a 7-3 record with 4 saves in 75 innings of work. He joined Fritz Peterson and Steve Hamilton as the only members of that year's Yankee pitching staff to compile a winning record and Womack's 2.64 ERA was the lowest of any New York pitcher with a minimum of ten decisions. That Yankee team became the first to finish in last place since the 1912 Highlanders accomplished the dreaded feat fifty-four seasons earlier.
Womack was even better the following year but the Yankees, unfortunately were not. He led the '67 squad with 18 saves and 65 appearances plus lowered his ERA to 2.41. The Yankees as a team, in the mean time, won just two more games than they did the season before and finished in ninth place in the ten-team American League. Womack got off to a slower start in '68 and his Yankee days became numbered that July, when New York acquired the veteran, Lindy McDaniel. The born-again reliever took the struggling Womack's role as the Yankee bullpen's right-handed saver and filled it superbly. Dooley found himself demoted to middle inning relief assignments. The Yankees traded Womack to the Astros after the 1968 season for an outfielder named Dick Simpson. Within the next 12 months, Dooley was traded to Seattle, Cincinnati and finally Oakland. In his last big league appearance, while pitching for the A's in September of 1970, Womack tore his rotator cuff.
Dooley was actually a nickname given to him as a child. His real first name was Horace. Womack became much more famous after Jim Bouton's best selling book "Ball Four" was published. In it the Bulldog wrote this reaction after learning he'd been traded by the Seattle Pilots for Womack; "Maybe it's me for a hundred thousand and Dooley Womack is just a throw-in. I'd hate to think at this stage of my career I was being traded even-up for Dooley Womack." I was an avid card collector as a kid and I bet I had at least ten of the 1967 Topps Womack Card pictured with today's post.
Womack was born on August 25, 1939. He shares a birthday with this former switch-hitting Yankee shortstop and this free agent reliever New York signed in 2010.

The 30th year of the Dublin Arts Council's summer concert series will see a more festive atmosphere.
The 30th year of the Dublin Arts Council's summer concert series will see a more festive atmosphere.
The Sundays at Scioto summer concert series will run June 9 through July 28, offering up food trucks, ice cream and music.
The free concerts run from 7 to 8:30 p.m. every Sunday in the Scioto Park amphitheater, 7377 Riverside Drive.
"I think the most notable thing is we have food carts this year," said David Guion, the Dublin Arts Council's executive director. "They're bringing in a new element in addition to Jeni's Ice Cream."
Toting a picnic to the summer concerts has long been encouraged, but Guion said Dublin City Councilman John Reiner suggested adding food trucks. "It will be more of a celebration with food and ice cream," he said.
Entertainment runs the gamut as bands will offer blues, rock, country and other musical stylings.
"It's a great lineup," Guion said.
"The board has done a terrific job in selecting bands this year.
"We get together every fall and make decisions," Guion said.
"It's nice to get community input (through the board)."
The Ladies of Longford, a frequent Dublin Irish Festival feature, will kick the series off June 9. The band includes Hilda Doyle, a Dublin resident, and her daughters.
"There's been some interest in some Irish or Celtic music," Guion said.
"It's leading up to the Irish festival. It's important to keep the flavor of Ireland."
Eric Dove & Green Light Go will return to the series June 16 with country rock, classic rock and original songs.
June 23, the Hadden Sayers Band will bring blues to Scioto Park and Yumbambe will follow June 30 with Latin music.
July 7, a 16-piece big band will bring on the sounds of the past when Swing's the Thing plays tunes from Count Basie, Glenn Miller and Duke Ellington. The Reaganomics will cover 1980s hits July 14.
The six-piece Ohio rock band, the Floorwalkers, will take the amphitheater stage July 21.
"I think the Floorwalkers will probably be a real highlight for me," Guion said, noting the band has taken honors by being voted best band in local surveys.
Guion said the band's scheduled performance last year was rained out.
Perennial favorites, the British Invasion, will wrap up the series July 28 with music from the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits and other 1960s bands.
The show also draws classic cars and the park usually closes as it reaches capacity.
The free event that brings tunes to Scioto Park every summer is supported by federal and state funding, hotel/motel tax funds and sponsors.
"There are new sponsors for this year, which is unusual for us," Guion said. "State Farm and Marysville Honda are sponsors this year," he said.
"Companies are interested in supporting these local bands and supporting the arts council. It's refreshing that people are supporting us in this time when we really need the funding," Guion said.
For more details on the Sundays at Scioto concert series, look online at dublinarts.org.

616 expands its urban community
It's so much more than a building project.
When the new version of the Grand Rapids Brewing Co. opens on the ground floors of 616 Development's newest renovation next week, the former Hawkins and Gunn Co. buildings at 1 and 7 Ionia Ave. SW will be almost fully occupied.
Residents began moving into the 21 apartments on floors three, four and five right after Thanksgiving. Monica Clark, who heads the company's property management firm, 616 Lofts, said the building's new community should be completely established in just a few weeks. Sixteen are one-bedroom units while the other five offer two bedrooms; all 21 were pre-leased.
"My remaining goal and job coming into a property just after construction is to make sure that we follow through with everything we said we were going to do," said Clark.
The company offers its renters some one-of-a-kind perks; it feels it needs to acquaint its new residents with the neighborhood and establish its entry in a growing urban community.
"When we started down this road long ago, we found this demand for downtown urban residential market-rate apartments. Developing these buildings is obviously a challenge that we have kind of overcome, so we have that part figured out. So the next part is, obviously, filling these units, and we've got that part figured out because we've pre-leased every unit we've ever developed," said Derek Coppess, principal of 616 Development.
"What we're really, really trying to be good at, though, is we're trying to be the experts and the best in the world at creating communities downtown that are sustainable, vital and organic. That's what our mission is. It's not so much building and filling units — that's been happening since ancient Rome. It's not like we've created a new widget," he said.
"We're just trying to infuse this community piece to it and connect these tenants to all these great amenities that our city has. We kind of look at ourselves more as educating these new residents about the downtown community. So that's the challenge and the fun part of what we do."
One way the firm does that is with the 616 Pass, a card that features the firm's logo. "Basically what we've done is we've worked hard to establish relationships with downtown businesses, where they offer discounts to our residents. It's our way of encouraging our residents to not only use the businesses that are around them, but also to get them acquainted with what is here," said Clark.
"Some of the people that come into our units are not from the area and, quite honestly, they're not as aware of what is around them as we'd like them to be. Our goal is to get them to be engaged members of the downtown community, connect them with the downtown businesses and introduce them to what is in downtown," she added.
Another perk 616 is offering is what it calls an on-board package. "It's a first-time introduction to our residents that are moving in to any of our 616 lofts. We look to get them signed up for memberships at the gym, or signed up through any of the partners or relationships that we've developed. For example, we have a grocery co-op that we are managing through Door-to-Door Organics and we can get them set up there," said Clark of the online grocery store that delivers fresh produce and other foods to their doors.
Clark said 616 has a resident liaison at each of its properties, which now offer a total of 150 units. The resident liaisons take new tenants under their wings.
"They take them around on a tour of downtown if they're interested, and kind of show them the ropes of how to get involved and live down here, be there to answer any questions that they may have and also be a great connection for us to be a sounding board and create the great communication back and forth on how we can make this community a better place," said Clark.
Clark said all the residents should be in their apartments by the end of the month. Coppess added that moving into a complex downtown isn't like moving into a suburban complex. The move-ins have to be scheduled in a densely populated and active sector such as the Ionia Avenue and Fulton Street intersection.
As for the construction phase, Coppess said it went well. The goal was to open Dec. 1 but the project was completed Nov. 23. "So we beat our deadline and we were on budget. We're very happy," he said.
The work cost roughly $7 million to complete. There was an uncommon characteristic of the project: Both buildings are five stories, but the ceiling on the fifth floor at 1 Ionia rose about eight feet higher than the one at 7 Ionia. The solution was to adjust the floors on the fourth floors and create bi-level apartments. "We basically built new floors and that's where the two-story units are in the building, on the side where we removed the floor and built the two-story units, which are really, really cool," said Coppess, who was honored recently by the Downtown Alliance with its emerging entrepreneur award.
Ken Dixon of Dixon Architecture designed the renovation and First Companies managed the work. About all that's left to be done is to fill the second floor, which 616 has designated for office tenants.
"We have a couple of interested office users and we expect that to fill real shortly," said Coppess. "So once Grand Rapids Brewing Co. opens on Dec. 5, we'll move all our residents in and fill that. We'll most likely be 100 percent full by the end of the year for that building. That's 50,000 square feet of reactivated space inside of one year, so we're pretty excited about that."

|Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2, is that possible to skip the Ethernet and pass data through general purpose (physically accessible) inputs to the FPGA?
|Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:30:22 -0600
|Thunderbird 188.8.131.52 (Windows/20100228)
Hi Nick,I think I should explain my project better. We are developing a physical layer protocol for an asynchronous packet based transceiver all in Verilog. The design has been simulated so far using ModelSim. The target of the project is the VLSI fabrication of this design. Thus all the signal processing (digital modulation (for now we are interested in BPSK digital modulation), packetization, spreading, filtering ) has to be done in FPGA, and it should be as stand alone as possible. The reason we picked USRP2 was that it was a compact board with RF specification quite close to our requirements. Our understanding was that we can get one computer (host) to transmit stream of bits to the USRP2, do the processing in FPGA and send the data over air, and the second USRP2 would capture the signal and again FPGA would do the processing and eventually pass the data (through Ethernet) to the second host (computer). I thought, if I generate a stream of bits in the first host (TX) and do BPSK modulation and pass them to the USRP2 using Gnuradio, the two 16 bit I and Q port that I get at the DSP core of the FPGA are two bytes of that stream of bits and now I can continue with packetization and the rest of my processing inside FPGA (basically replacing the interpolation module with my spreading module) and redo that process at the receiver to retrieve the generated bit stream. I have already read through the DSP codes inside the FPGA. What I understand from your email below was that I can't retrieve the bit stream (generated at the host) in the FPGA and the 16 bits I and Q are modulated, shaped sample representation of the bit stream. This is a bit confusing for me because I thought (assuming the host just generates the bits and does the BPSK modulation) the Ethernet decoder (DP83865) of the USRP2 is basically compensating (undo-ing) the processing that was performed on the bits (by Ethernet encoder) right before they leave the host (computer) so that the Ethernet becomes transparent. If that is not the case, my only solution is to pass the bit stream to the FPGA using the debug port!
Would you please let me know which part of my assumption is wrong? Thanks, Malihe Nick Foster wrote:
Malihe,Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 14:19:54 -0600 From: address@hiddenActually we are using the USRP2 not for a SDR application, but we are using it to test our physical layer asynchronous backet based communication. For that I have to change the FPGA code and remove the interpolation/decimation and replace it with a spreading scheme.Assuming your spreading doesn't bring your bandwidth over around 25MHz, you should be able to do the spreading operation on the host and transmit the spread baseband data to the USRP2 via Gnuradio. The host typically does not send unmodulated data to the USRP2; the host side, usually using Gnuradio, performs the desired DSP operations on your raw information such as spreading, shaping, and modulating, and sends the resulting complex waveform to the USRP2 as raw 16-bit samples. The USRP2 itself knows nothing about your original unmodulated data.for that I need to know exactly what is the nature of data I am receiving at the FPGA and what is its maximum rate or forget about Ethernet and get a separate bus for me to pass the data to the FPGA .The data you are receiving at the FPGA is whatever you send to it -- the interpolation rate you pick determines the sample rate the USRP2 will run at. The interpolator will handle upsampling the raw samples to match the data rate the DACs run at. It's up to you (using Gnuradio) to encode your data into an appropriate waveform for your application.Assuming I want to use Ethernet, let's say I want to send the stream '0100001', and I pick DBPSK as the modulation. can you please explain what is the relation of the DBPSK modulated data and "GMII_RXD" input to the FPGA or "sample" input to the dsp_core_tx? is that FPGA receives 8 bits per symbol sent over Ethernet?Whatever raw samples you send into gnuradio get sent to the FPGA (I'm simplifying here: see the link below for details). The USRP2 itself does not know or care that you are using DBPSK or that you are sending '0100001'. It sounds like you might have a misconception of exactly what the USRP2 is doing. This FAQ is for the USRP1, but the overall description applies also to the USRP2: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/UsrpFAQAlso, do you have a ready to use Python code for USRP2 device which generates for example a SIN wave at the transmitter and captures it at the receives?A simple GRC flowgraph would perform this function for you. You can use a signal source to feed a USRP2 sink, and then a USRP2 source to feed an FFT sink (or whatever sink you like). The parameters for these blocks depend on what daughterboards you are using for TX and RX and whether you are using the UHD driver or not. Nick

A French helicopter gunship was downed and the commander of a helicopter unit was killed during air raids Jan. 11 that successfully halted the southerly advance of al-Qaida-backed terrorists in Mali, according to senior French military officials.
Dubbed Operation Serval, the intervention in support of France's former West African colony began Friday afternoon in response to an urgent request for assistance from Mali's president.
"The situation was serious and it degraded rapidly," French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said during a press conference in Paris Jan. 12. "The terrorists were advancing toward the south, taking advantage of the fact that international assistance, which had been agreed to by the African Union, European Union and the United Nations, was slow in arriving."
France "had to act," Le Drian said, adding that the security of the region, and particularly of France and Europe, is at stake. "Having a terrorist state on our borders is unacceptable. We had to react before it was too late to put in the international assistance as foreseen by the UN and African nations. We are determined to stop this."
Le Drian said the effort, a strictly bilateral operation between France and Mali, had three objectives: "To stop the jihadist offensive, to stabilize the government of Mali by protecting it against the terrorist advance, and to protect French and other European citizens in the combat zone."
He said the operation was initiated based on French intelligence, which had detected a concentration of vehicles that suggested a major offensive was at hand.
Following tactical support to the Malian government in the preceding days, French President Francois Hollande okayed the use of air forces Jan. 11 to target a column of terrorists moving south.
"This was a helicopter raid that began at 4 pm yesterday Paris time," he said, adding that French units totaling several hundred soldiers were deployed earlier to Bamako to assure the safety of the 5,000 French citizens in the country.
The air raid was supported by two Aerospatiale Gazelle helicopter gunships equipped with 20mm cannons and HOT missiles from the army's 4th combat helicopter regiment, which destroyed four enemy vehicles and forced the militants to retreat. It was unclear whether the Gazelles were equipped with the Viviane thermal imagery system.
"They were stopped and then they retreated," Le Drian said of the operation, which involved French special forces and equipment based at N'Djamena in Chad, including four Dassault-built Mirage 2000D fighters supported by two KC-135 aerial refueling tankers, with Rafale fighters based in France standing by on alert.
One Gazelle helicopter was downed during the air raid, said Adm. Edouard Guillaud, chief of staff of France's armed forces, and Lt. Damien Boiteux, commander of the helicopter unit, was killed, though it was unclear whether Boiteux was aboard the downed rotorcraft.
The air strikes occurred in tandem with the deployment of several hundred French soldiers to Bamako to assure the safety of France's 5,000 citizens in Mali.
Le Drian said Hollande will conduct a meeting of his defense team today at 3 pm Paris time to assess the situation in Mali.
"We will continue our activities as necessary," Le Drian said, adding that France's intervention paved the way for UN, EU and African Union assistance in Mali. "Without French action it would have been difficult to do that."

There was a lot riding on James Harden when he made the move to Houston.
The fourth-year shooting guard received a hefty five-year, $80 million contract despite spending his career coming off the bench and playing alongside Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Naturally, there was some skepticism as Harden became the Rockets new head honcho. But he's silenced many of those doubters with his play this season, proving that he can be a superstar in the NBA.
Royce White is currently stealing the spotlight in Houston, but people should be paying attention to Harden. He's earning his money and even some MVP consideration. Here's why:
• He's averaging 26.4 points per game, which is the fifth-best in the NBA. He's also incredibly consistent, scoring more than 20 points in 28-of-33 (84.8 percent) games and more than 25 in 12 straight games.
• Harden has turned the Rockets into the most explosive offensive team in the NBA with a league-leading 106.2 points per game.
• He is getting to the free throw line more than any player in the NBA, averaging 10.3 trips per game and sinking 85.9 percent of his attempts.
• He's contributed 5.6 wins to the Rockets this season, based on win shares. Houston is 8-2 in their last 10 games and currently sixth in the Western Conference.
The most remarkable thing about all of Harden's stats is how quick he was to ascend the ranks in his first season as starter. Not only that, but how he's doing it as the number one option teams are keying in defensively night in and night out.
If the Rockets can sustain the success they're having and the Harden-Jeremy Lin backcourt continues to grow and flourish, Harden will continue to be in the conversation for MVP by year's end.

Pre-Meeting Findings & Recommndations
Bob B.
Collaboration with others is an important factory. In most situations where libraries and other entities were connected, the libraries were collaborating with each other and/or other entities. Further, in some states that weren't well connected, there was a lack of coordination/collaboration at any level to connect libraries and/or other entities to broadband. Further, a champion or group of champions is key to the establishment continuing success of deployment.
There is a lack of understanding on behalf of a lot of the stakeholders as to the needs of broadband to libraries and some don't understand the role of the library in the 21st century. When we talked to stakeholders, some didn't quite get that there was an issue when it came to broadband deployment. They were not aware of the services libraries provided and the extra need for broadband because libraries need access to support both their staff work and for public access.
Many models exist for the creation of networks (in this case meaning broadband networks for connecting public libraries.) Various success factors for connecting entities include:
• The organization who builds the network negates with the ISP on behalf of the libraries
• The networking entity applies for E-Rate on behalf of the libraries it connects
o The entity that applies for E-Rate is able to apply for the telco circuit discount separately from the Internet access charge, which allows libraries to receive E-Rate without having to be CIPA compliant
• The networking agency was in the best position to provide for their clients. In some cases, this was a state agency (OH, KY), a non-profit (MO) or regional consortiums (MI and KS).
Broadband speed is contextual. Different libraries require different amounts of bandwidth based upon the number of computers and the usage of these computers. One thing that was constant throughout was that current connection speeds to libraries is increasing exponentially with video and other applications that are upcoming that aren't anticipated (one of which is higher quality video).
769 Kbps is not sufficient bandwidth for public libraries now or in the future. In many focus groups, they indicated that not even a full T1 (twice the speed) is sufficient. Further, provisioning this amount of bandwidth for libraries may cost just as much as a T1. To quote Elwood Downing of MERIT:
"In Michigan, provisioning of a 768K telco circuit connection is the same cost as a T1 (1.5M bps)circuit. When Merit places an order for a fractional T1 service with the Telecommunications provider in Michigan they install a T1 circuit to the Library. However, it is the Internet Service Provider that will provision the through-put on the circuit to be 768K bps instead of a full T1 1.5M bps."
Fund a project to increase collaboration between libraries and other entities. The level at which this collaboration takes place will vary from state to state (based upon the political environment.) I am not sure if this collaboration should be at the regional or state level, but it would appear regional is the most feasible. Through regional consortiums that exist in several states, they can aggregate demand to make a bigger investment case for and help libraries negotiate with ISPs and help apply for E-Rate. If no regional consortiums exist, perhaps the state? One thing that would be great is to fund a position at a state library that works with other agencies within the state to ensure libraries are considered in broadband strategies and partners with other agencies to get connected to ongoing projects.
Build tomorrow's broadband connection today. Whatever project we end up funding to help increase deployment needs to ensure a scalable connection, so that as demand goes up, the bandwidth is available. Deploying a technology, such as T1 or a DSL line, will help libraries in the short run, but only up to a point because each one has a maximum speed. In states of high connectivity, they have maximized usage of these technologies and are struggling to find their next act. As whatever we fund works to increase deployment, we need to ensure that it scales easily.
As part of the current advocacy activities, it is important to help show the case for broadband connectivity to libraries. I do not know the plans for advocacy activities, but specific groups need to be targeted to ensure that they receive the message that libraries are important when considering broadband deployment to communities and to help them to understand the needs of the libraries. The groups to be targeted include many of the groups we were talking to during our visits. Further, one option that has worked is to have 'dog and pony shows' whereby stakeholders are gathered at the library to discuss broadband deployment. One suggestion would be to work with elected officials to invite people to the library and have library staff express their need. Another is to initiate demonstrations of broadband within a public library.
Increase librarian's knowledge on broadband. Librarians need to understand that broadband is important and in many cases do not understand how to maximize the usage of their connection. Further, they may not know how to use the broadband effectively, how to adequately plan for connectivity, how to effectively apply for E-Rate, negotiate with ISPs, and a host of other broadband specific issues. A program to increase librarians' knowledge of broadband and technology
Finally, I would like to emphasize that we don't always have to think big. Occasionally, small things can have an impact on deployment (e.g. One Economy's strategy to require broadband in housing developments increased deployment in poor areas and low-income housing). Therefore, simple policy statements can have a great impact. One such suggestion would be to re-write zoning laws to make it a requirement to deploy fiber (and no copper) to every new house, business or library that is built for telecommunications. Such a policy shift could help spur deployment of fiber to residential areas and to libraries. As we talk over the next several days, it is important to not always think big thoughts.

Kids Allergic to the Cold — Literally
(NEW YORK) -- While many people get sick in cold weather, a small number develop an allergic reaction to the cold — literally. Much as with food and pollen allergies, reactions can include rashes, hives that can extend almost to an inch, closing of the throat and general itchiness.
Mike and Melissa Frankenfeld of Sterling, Colo., are all too familiar with this rare condition, called cold urticaria.
Their battle started two years ago when they noticed a painful rash on their son, Connor, who was 3 years old at the time.
"It was really weird," Melissa Frankenfeld told ABC News. "We saw this rash in the diaper area, and I thought 'diaper rash,' and I treated it with home remedies and it got worse. I tried changing detergents and soaps, and I took him to the doctor, because it wasn't getting any better. They said it was diaper rash, and to let it air out."
The rash continued to worsen and even began to swell as the Frankenfelds made the rounds of several more doctors, none of who could hit on the right treatment. The only thing that seemed to soothe Connor was warm baths.
Finally, after a year of going from doctor to doctor, the Frankenfelds found Dr. Bill Lanting, at the Asthma and Allergy Center of the Rockies. Lanting, who'd also founded the website America's Allergist, performed a simple test in which he pressed an ice cube against Connor's arm for four minutes, and watched as hives formed. That's when he knew Connor had cold urticaria.
"You have these mast cells, or allergy cells that are found mainly in the skin, and are set off by allergens like food, medications and stinging insects," Lanting told ABC News. "Exposure to cold or literally holding a coke can or ice cube can set off the mast cell, so if you're exposed to cold at a certain temperature, you can get hives. Hives you can deal with using Benadryl, but if it's severe enough it can cause throat swelling and breathing problems."
Lanting said cold urticaria was rare, affecting approximately one in 100,000 people.
In the throes of trying to get Connor diagnosed and treated, the Frankenfelds learned that their daughter, Taylor, 8 years old, also had cold urticaria, and her condition was even more serious than Connor's. She almost went into anaphylactic shock after she was exposed to air conditioning at her school.
"I just feel my throat start to feel funny and it was feeling like it was getting bigger," Taylor told ABC 7 in Denver. "I was really scared. I thought I was going to die."
"There's nothing you can do," Melissa Frankenfeld said. "I stay at home, and the school has me on speed dial. Every day I go to school for recess."
Lanting said cold urticaria could be controlled by taking a daily chronic antihistamine, but so far there was no definitive cure.
Dr. Clifford Bassett, an assistant clinical professor of medicine at New York University, and founder of allergyepidemic.com, said that in general, most people with cold urticaria had manageable symptoms that were not life-threatening.
Bassett said he'd treated a patient Thursday who has lived with the rare allergy for 20 years – his symptoms appear only in response to cold water, not cold temperatures.
He said cold urticaria could have a genetic cause, but it could also be acquired (usually between the ages of 18 and 25) or result from another medical condition.
Melissa Frankenfeld, who said she has received an outpouring of support from other parents dealing with this rare allergy, believes more research is needed.
"When Connor was first diagnosed, we were told he's either going to grow out of it, it will stay the same or it will get worse, but there is not enough information out there to know for sure," she said.
Moving to a warmer climate was not a solution, said Frankenfeld, as cold countertops, cold bathtubs, ice cream, popsicles, air-conditioning and cold drinks can all trigger a reaction.
"Even if they walk on wooden floors, their feet will break out," Frankenfeld said. "Even running and getting sweaty against the air can cause a reaction."
Mike and Melissa Frankenfeld try to their best to maintain a normal life for their children.
"They have to be kids," Melissa Frankenfeld said. "They have to have a life, and they have to enjoy all the things that kids enjoy in life. They need to have the ice cream and the popsicles, but we do take the appropriate precautions. We let them play in the snow, but we bundle them up and … and we carry Benadryl because that's the only thing you can do when a reaction does start."

BT-99. The ideal competition shotgun for trapshooters of all ages.
Browning quality can be found at every level of the shooting sports. And when your chosen sport is American singles and handicap trap, the revered Browning BT-99 wins the hearts and minds of many. There is not a finer example of simplicity, quality and clay-busting performance than the classic BT-99. When it was introduced in 1969, it immediately gained a loyal following among both beginner and veteran shooters alike. They appreciated the consistent, reliable performance and great value the BT-99 offered. Today is no different. From the Micro that is designed to comfortably accommodate smaller shooters to the Golden Clays version with a host of extra bells and whistles, there's a BT-99 tailor made just for you.
Browning quality at every level.
From the Micro to the top-end Golden Clays model, a BT-99 will deliver all day long. There is not a better single-barrel trap gun, at any price, than the rugged BT-99. These tough, reliable guns are built to elevate your trap game. Three key features set the BT-99 apart from all the rest.
INVECTOR ¬PLUS™ CHOKE TUBE SYSTEM
The Invector-Plus interchangeable choke tube system provides consistent, dense shot patterns in the constriction needed for your shooting situation. The longer choke taper inside an Invector-Plus choke tube works with Back-Bored Technology to produce patterns with more uniform densities and fewer flyers. The superior design eliminates gases slipping between the choke tube and barrel that could damage the choke tube and the barrel.
The BT-99 features a chrome-plated chamber to resist the toll thousands of shells can take on lesser quality guns. Corrosion resistance is also greatly improved.
VECTOR PRO™ LENGTHENED FORCING CONE
Longer, tapered Vector Pro dimensions minimize shot deformation and maximize pattern uniformity, consistency and density. Back-boring increases bore diameter specifications and decreases friction between the shot cup and the bore to maximize shot pellet velocity and reduce felt recoil. Reducing constriction from the forcing cone on the shot column results in fewer deformed pellets for more uniform patterns, and keeps more pellets in the central part of the pattern where they're needed to smoke clays.
Gauge: 12, 2 3/4"
Barrel Length: 30", 32", and 34"
Overall Length: 47", 49", and 51"

At least eleven people died, including a family of four, when their Cairo apartment building collapsed in the early hours of Sunday, security sources and witnesses said.
Emergency repairs had been carried out on the six-floor building in the poor Sayeda Zeinab area of the Egyptian capital on Saturday, just hours before the tragedy happened, neighbours said.
Two people were pulled from the rubble alive and rescuers were working Sunday to find around eight others thought to be trapped in the remains of the 50-year-old building, police officers said.
Eleven dead bodies have so far been removed, including those of lawyer Ashraf Abdel Rahman Darwish, his wife Abeer and their toddler children Mustafa and Mohammed, they said.
One witness told AFP a man and his four children managed to escape from the building before it collapsed shortly after 1:00 a.m. (2200 GMT Saturday) after seeing sand falling from the structure.
One resident who escaped, Um Ahmed, said she, her husband and daughter left the building at the suggestion of neighbors who said dust was emerging from the first floor.
"Five minutes after we fled, the building collapsed," said Ahmed, who lived on the top story.
The pro-government newspaper Al-Ahram said 25 people had left the building on Saturday when cracks appeared in its masonry. The city council ordered the landlord to repair the building.
Ahmed said that on Friday, each tenant paid 1,000 Egyptian pounds ($299) to the contractor for repairs to the building
Another man said workers had been digging inside the building to prepare for emergency reinforcement work the day before it fell down.
Other witnesses said residents had begun to notice water seeping from the ground beneath the block several weeks before the incident.
Security sources said the occupants had been ordered to leave the building after the emergency repairs were ordered, but most were still living inside when it folded. Seven of the building's 12 apartments were inhabited at the time – (Agencies)

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker softball team split their home opening series with Newberry College (6-2) on Sunday (Feb. 10). The series split marks the Cobras at 2-2 on the year.
In game one of the series the Cobras found themselves down 3-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning. With two runners on, Katelyn Szupello singled to left field and drove in a run to mark the game at 4-4. Clarissa Suttle then stepped up to the plate, and laced a pitch past the short stop to drive in the game winning RBI and earn the walk-off. Coker captured game one 5-4.
Lauren Phillips was credited with the game one win, after throwing seven innings and striking out three Newberry batters. Phillips only allowed six hits and four runs to start the double-header.
As a team, the Cobras collected nine hits, four RBIs, and six walks in game one.
Coker got on the scoreboard quickly to start the second game of the series. Sydney Weatherford earned the first RBI of game two with a sacrifice fly to right field to score Sarah Rountree.
The Cobras continued their scoring in the bottom of the second when Suttle hit a double into center field, allowing Szupello to round the bases and score for the Cobras to make it a 2-0 game.
Coker would hold the Wolves scoreless in the third and fourth innings, but a two run inning in the top of the fifth would eventually tie the game at 2-2. Newberry tallied three more runs onto their score in the top of the seventh to give themselves a 5-2 advantage.
Coker would earn a run in the bottom of the seventh, but they would eventually surrender the game 5-3 in favor of the Wolves after Newberry collected their third and final out.
Shelley Jeffcoat would be credited with the win for the Wolves in game two, while Phillips would be marked with her first loss of the season. Phillips pitched two innings allowing three runs on five hits.
The Coker softball team will return to Saleeby-Stokes field on Wednesday (Feb. 13) to host St. Andrews. The double-header scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., followed by the second game a 3 p.m.

Game 18, UMBC at Stony Brook Game Notes
BALTIMORE – UMBC women's basketball jumps back on the road for its second game in three
days when it travels to Stony Brook for a Monday matinee showdown at Pritchard Gym. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. with all the live action will be available, free of charge, on the America East digital network.
SCOUTING THE RETRIEVERS (2-15, 1-4 AEC): After winning its America East opener against the Binghamton, UMBC has dropped four straight, including Saturday's 59-63 loss to Vermont. The Retrievers clawed back from a 13-point first half deficit to take its first lead of the contest at 50-49 with 4:20 to go, but Vermont used an 11-2 run to down the black and gold. Freshman guard Taylor McCarley reset her career-highs in points (18) and rebounds (eight), while sophomore center Bridget O'Donnell matched a single-game program record for blocks with seven.
The Retrievers outrebounded the league's third-ranked rebounding team in the Catamounts, marking just the second time this season that UMBC held an advantage in rebounds. UMBC, who is averaging 6.3 offensive rebounds a contest on the year, has 10.7 offensive boards over the last three games.
Sara Tarbert leads all America East freshmen in scoring at 12.2 points per game and ranks fifth in the league in rebounding (7.1). McCarley is up to 9.0 points per game after resetting her career-high for the second time in four games. O'Donnell leads the league in blocks per game (1.8) and is adding 6.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
SCOUTING THE SEAWOLVES (12-5, 3-1 AEC): Stony Brook picked up its fourth win in its last five games with Saturday's 86-63 victory against UMass Lowell. Junior guard Sabre Proctor registered her seventh 20-point performance of the season to lead the charge versus River Hawks with a team-best 20 points, while senior guard Teasha Harris chipped in 17 points.
Stony Brook is second in the league in scoring offense at 65.5 points per game, first in rebounding average (41.1 rpg) and is outrebounding its opponents by 7.4 rebounds per contest. Proctor's 16.2 points per game leads three double-digit scorers for the Seawolves and ranks second in the conference, with the junior upping her scoring average to 20.8 points per game during America East play. Jessica Ogunnorin and Chikilra Goodman are both averaging over seven rebounds a game and are combining for 18.4 points per contest.
The Seawolves registered the seventh-best turnaround in the country in 2012-13 after posting a 10-win increase from 2011-12 under second-year head coach Beth O'Boyle. SBU finished the season with a 14-16 overall mark and tied for fourth with a 6-10 league mark. Stony Brook returns eight letterwinners and two starters from a season ago to earn enough votes for third-place in the AEC preseason poll.
INSIDE THE SERIES: UMBC has won seven in a row against Stony Brook, including a 70-59 victory against the Seawolves in the Retrievers' 2013 Midday Madness contest. UMBC concluded the season series with a 52-51 win at Stony Brook on Feb. 20. The Retrievers are an even 5-5 at the Seawolves' facilities, including three-straight victories.
ON THE HORIZON FOR THE RETRIEVERS: UMBC is off until Hall of Fame Saturday at the RAC Arena. The Retrievers will open a UMBC basketball doubleheader against Hartford at 1 p.m., followed by the men taking on the Hawks at 3:30 p.m. The UMBC Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2014 will be inducted that night.

Body language expert shares tips
Just by looking at you, Carolyn Finch can tell whether you're an easygoing person or someone who isn't.
Does she have a special power?
No. What she has is know-how.
Finch, a Danbury resident, is a body language expert. That means she's learned how nonverbal communication -- such as eye contact, choice of clothing style and colors, and the gestures people make -- can reveal things such as where you're from or if you're confident.
At 75, Finch is internationally recognized for her skills. She has appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," VH1's "Red Carpet Special" and "CNBC News," among other programs. Her expertise has also been shared on the pages of publications such as Redbook and The New York Times.
Finch holds a master's degree in speech pathology, is an author and speaker, and a kinesiologist -- a person who has studied the interconnection of anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement. She's currently owns Electrific Solutions in Danbury, a business which incorporates all of her talents.
Years ago, Finch was using her people skills in a different line of work. For two decades, she owned the Peter Piper School in Brookfield, a nursery school that has since closed. She's been married to Don Hulme for 31 years; between the two they have four children and 10 grandchildren.
Finch was interviewed a few days after presenting a talk on body language to the Danbury Business Women's Council.
Q: Why is it important for business people in particular, but everyone in general, to be able to interpret body language?
A: It's important because body language is the basis of the majority of communication and most people are very poor at reading body language. Often, we are so busy thinking about what we're going to say next, that we haven't noticed what other people have said or done.
Q: How much of body language is verbal?
A: Surprisingly, verbal communication is only 7 percent of how we "speak."
Nearly 38 percent of communication is vocal -- the tone of the voice and the sounds we make, like sneezing or coughing. Some 55 percent of communication is nonverbal -- the color of clothing people favor, their environment, how they live, customs and values.
Q: What part of body language is especially important for people in business?
A: It's important to know what gestures mean. In sales, for example, it's important to understand that if you're speaking and the listener is playing with their ear lobe, it means they don't want to hear you. Covering their mouth signifies they're holding back something they want to say. Knowing what such gestures mean can save time and money.
Q: For business and other travelers, what are some of the things that they should know about the countries they visit?
A: They must be aware of gestures that are appropriate for the countries they visit as well as those gestures that are inappropriate.
For example, Americans tend to overdo their emotions. We tend to overwhelm people.
When we greet someone and shake their hand, we tend to shake it three or more times. The French, for example, shake it once.
Q: Is there one body language gesture practiced by people throughout the world?
A: Yes, the smile. It doesn't change too much. There are two basic smiles, one in which the upper and lower teeth show; the other, is a really sincere smile, when you look into a person's eyes and see them smile, too.
Q: Your body language says you're not retiring, but, are you thinking of it?
A: No. I love to work. There are many people who can learn and profit from knowing body language.

When $N=3$, if I'm not mistaking Legendre polynomial allow to write an explicit basis.
Is there a known explicit basis when $N > 3$ ?

Perhaps you've seen this UPS ad, which has aired since conference tournaments began. Seizing on their new tagline of "logistics," it features the famous 1992 regional final between Kentucky and Duke that ended on Christian Laettner's buzzer-beater. A dark moment for UK, but a legendary ending to one of the greatest games of college basketball ever played. Reasonable people would assume that UPS is marketing to college hoops fans this time of year, by featuring the most iconic moment in the sport's history. This story is not about reasonable people.
This story is about a subset of Kentucky fans who are furious with UPS for rubbing their noses in something that happened 20 years ago. But some are not content to leave it at mere directionless anger. There are two specific subsets of conspiracy theories in play. The first is that UPS's advertising director is a Duke graduate, and this ad was created specifically to rattle the Wildcats in advance of a potential Elite Eight matchup with the Blue Devils. (UPS's advertising director went to UNC, but don't let facts get in the way.) The second theory is harder to disprove—that UPS is in bed with Louisville, and Louisville wants UK fans to feel sad. I cannot at this time confirm, but it is suspicious that UPS is headquartered in Louisville, not Lexington. Hmmmm.
Because the funniest way to deal with crazy people is to humor them, UPS actually put up a lengthy blog post laying out the justifications for the commercial's existence, and denying a targeted psyop campaign against the Wildcats. They also left comments open:
I cannot imagine why UPS would think this commercial in anyway speaks to logistics! "Logic" would dictate that you have just alienated millions of Big Blue Nation fans! Your analysis, albeit from a so called UK fan point of view does not make this horrible commercial palatable! I shipped a package from Lexington today and specifically used FedEx because of this commercial ….logistics….I think not!! GO BIG BLUE!
Here I am down in Georgia because my family is AD Army and the few times we get to see the CATS play, I have to watch a backstabbing commercial like this. How much did the airtime cost you to have it set to air at halftime? I mean if you wanted to hit every CAT fan in the nation….you did it. Incredible arrogance and well, just flat out rude. I feel for the huge UK fan base living in Louisville who has to walk into the hub and tug around at work tonight and all the while feel embarassed and shame knowing their employer backstabbed them. I CANNOT stand Fed Ex but you left me no choice but to move my business account to them. I am sure you will lose sleep over my new logistically correct option. EPIC FAIL UPS! EPIC FAIL.
Do you really think using this ad will boost business? I will not use UPS again. I will use Fed Ex or the U.S. mail. I'm sure you don't care, however it will make me feel better every time the U.S. mail truck or the Fed Ex truck makes my deliveries. Hows that for logistics?
I cannot imagine that you would use this!! Have you forgotten Christian Laetners actions after that shot? Well we have not forgotten!! You have certainly muddied your name in Kentucky and I am sure I do not stand alone.
If you think this isn't a big deal to the Big Blue Nation you need to think again. I spent about 15 minutes lying on the floor after that shot and I will never forget it. I will also never forget how UPS has abused the business the people of Kentucky has given to the company who has its main air hub in Kentucky. What on earth are you thinking? Not that it will affect your bottom line, but you have lost the business of many Kentuckians and UK fans all over the nation. I will write the Kentucky legislature and request they deny the bills you are trying to get passed. Any business that is making this many of its customers unhappy should see the light, pull the ad, and apologize.
Who was the idiot that decided to run this ad? It's an insult to the thousands of folks in UK who work long, hard hours for UPS through out the commonwealth of KY. Grow up and pull the ad.
Very poor planning in your marketing. I read your comments, others comments, and story all the way through, but if you knew anything about KY Basketball you would not have run this ad even with running it by the University. I see a decline in your KY business in the next 4 weeks at least. Hope it was worth it. KY FANS NEVER FORGET!!!!
So now there are 3 commercials where I frantically try to find the remote - this one, the ESPN IU shot, and the Sarah Mclachlan one about abused/abandoned pets.
Heh. I like that last one. Regardless, I think we can add a third conspiracy theory to the mix: that this is actually a false flag operation, that FedEx is responsible for this commercial just to corner the lucrative Lexington market.
To put a cherry on top, via Card Chronicle, here's one incensed Cat fan calling in to talk radio after the station played the ad during a break: "You just don't get it. We are the greatest SEC conference in the world."

More than 200,000 individuals in the United States today have spinal cord injuries (SCI). Every year, approximately 10,000 more sustain SCI from auto, sports and work accidents, falls, or during military service.
A Spinal Cord Injury changes an individual's life in an instant - physically, emotionally and socially. Whether you are newly injured or have lived with your injury for some time, you will have many concerns and questions.
When a person receives an SCI, the communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted, and messages no longer flow past the damaged area. The extent of the communication breakdown is dependent on both the severity and location of the injury. The human spinal cord is a bundle of nerve cells and fibers approximately 17 inches long that extends from the brain to the lower back. The spinal cord carries messages from the brain to all parts of the body and receives incoming messages from the body as well.
The nerves that lie only within the spinal cord itself are called upper motor neurons (UMNs). These run only between the brain and the spinal nerves. The spinal nerves branch out from the spinal cord into the tissues of the body. Spinal nerves are also called lower motor neurons (LMNs). In movement, the brain sends messages through the spinal cord (UMNs) to the spinal nerves (LMNs). The LMNs then carry these messages to the muscles to coordinate complicated movements such as walking. In this way, the brain can influence movement.
The cord is protected by the backbone, which is made up of 33 individual vertebrae. These vertebrae have different names depending on their location.There are:
- 7 cervical vertebrae located in the neck
- 12 thoracic vertebrae in the upper back
- 5 lumbar vertebrae in the lower back
- 5 fused sacral vertebrae in the hip area
- 4 fused vertebrae in the coccyx (tailbone)
Spinal cord injuries can occur at any level of the spinal cord, and the level of the injury will dictate which bodily functions are altered or lost. Damage to the spinal cord can cause changes in movement, feeling, bladder control, or other bodily functions. How many changes there are depends on where the spinal cord was injured and how severely the spinal cord was injured. The main problem is that the connection between the brain and the parts of the body below the injury is impaired. A spinal cord injury is named for the lowest level of the spinal cord that still functions the way it did before injury.
Most spinal injuries damage both UMNs and LMNs. A complete injury cuts or squeezes all the UMNs running down the spinal cord. In a UMN injury, control by the brain no longer exists because messages from the brain can't get through the point of injury. The LMNs act by themselves, causing reflexes without limit. One example is spasticity. Spasticity is the uncontrolled movement of the arms or legs. LMN injuries are a different story. This kind of injury is found, for the most part, at the lower tip of the spinal cord, or the cauda equina.
Spasticity is not found in LMN injuries as it is in UMN injuries, because muscles governed by these LMNs tend to shrink or atrophy. Stated simply, a UMN injury is one where the UMN pathway is broken, and the LMNs below the injury are intact and spasticity is noted. An LMN injury, usually at the cauda equina, abolishes nerve contact with muscles controlled below the injury and no spasticity develops.
Immediately after a spinal cord injury, the spinal cord stops doing its job for a period of time called "spinal shock." The return of reflexes below the level of injury marks the end of spinal shock. At this time, a doctor can determine if the injury is complete or incomplete. If the injury is incomplete, some feelings and movement may come back.
Rehabilitation begins immediately. The individual will be instructed in strengthening exercises, new styles of movement, and the use of special equipment. If additional recovery of feeling or movement does not occur, a rehabilitation team will help the individual to develop new goals.

Transcend…and relationships improve spontaneously
Transcending is a direct experience of the reality that we are all connected to each other
Transcending in essence is an experience of the universal source of everyone's consciousness, the reality in which everyone and everything is connected to each other. (see transcending = highest human experience). We all experience this reality, even in our daily life in which we only share the most superficial part of our spirit (the rest is hidden in our sub-conscious), as love. Love is the feeling of being connected to someone else, even though there is no tangible connection between you and that other person.
When we transcend, that feeling of being connected increases, and spontaneously all types of relationships will improve.
Of course, stress too plays an important role in our relationships with others. Transcending can remove our deepest stress (see PTSS) and trains the body to remain calm even outside of meditation, which also has a very strong positive effect on our relationships.
Numerous scientific studies have confirmed the significant positive effect of the TM practice on both our personal and professional relationships
(see research tab)
How can a simple technique do so much?
600 studies confirm the effect of TM with:
- Less stress
- How TM works
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Emotional stability
- Insomnia
- Impulsivity
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Better Health
- General Health
- Atherosclerosis
- Hypertension
- Cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Fibromyalgia
- Becoming Younger
- Addictions
- Quitting Smoking
- Alcoholism
- Drug Addiction

Pelosi Attends Supreme Court Arguments, Predicts DOMA Will Be Struck Down
(WASHINGTON) -- After attending oral arguments at the Supreme Court Wednesday to debate the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, one of the most outspoken advocates in Congress for marriage equality, said she believes that when the justices announce their ruling in a couple of months, they will strike down the controversial law commonly known as DOMA.
"On the basis of what I heard, the questions of the justices, the response of the participants, I'm very optimistic that DOMA will be struck down," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "Just being in the room … this [issue] is as big as our country, as big as our Constitution, as big as our being a beacon of equal protection to the world."
While Pelosi and many of her Democratic colleagues have openly embraced gay marriage over the years, House Republicans have resisted the Obama administration's unwillingness to enforce DOMA, which defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has persistently insisted that as long as the Obama administration refuses to enforce DOMA, the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group, which is comprised of three Republicans and two Democrats, will defend the law.
"A law's constitutionality is determined by the courts – not by the Department of Justice," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel wrote in a statement Wednesday. "As long as the Obama administration refuses to exercise its responsibility, we will."
On Wednesday, Pelosi said she believes Congress and the nation have evolved since DOMA was first signed into law and she predicted that opposition to gay marriage is "not a model for the future."
"We're at a different place, and it's a generational change as well," Pelosi said. "Times can blind, and whatever the public mood was on this subject at the time, it also created some ignorance on the subject. And that ignorance is fading now."
"Make America more American by ending discrimination by overturning the ill-conceived DOMA," she added.

CSU Monterey Bay to apply Course Redesign for technology and information literacy
A joint project team from the CSUMB Library and the School of Information Technology and Communication Design will be developing a course redesign for CST 101, a course in technology and information literacy. The team plans to reduce sections of CST 101 from 13 to 5, and cut the 23% F/W rate in half. They have also identified a number of other CSUMB courses where the online tutorials produced for the redesign could be re-used.
The course redesign will feature a "buffet model" with multiple learning opportunities available to students. The preliminary plan includes using short lectures podcast by instructors to explain the concepts behind word-processing, presentation, and spreadsheet software. Students will also be able to do a self-paced, interactive online tutorial on each of the software tools. Assessment of learning will be built into these learning modules.
