What's New for ActiveHybrid 7 in 2012
For the 2012 model year, there are some minor changes to the BMW ActiveHybrid 7. Keep your eyes open for: A lower MSRP. Some previously standard equipment is now only offered as options, including the ventilated and active front seats and the heads up display. more
For lots of car buyers, the idea of a hybrid is a bit scary. What if it doesn't perform as well as the conventional models or it lacks the excitement wanted behind the wheel? With the 2012 ActiveHybrid 7 from BMW these worries can easily be laid to rest.
While it isn't necessarily the most fuel efficient hybrid model with its V-8 engine, it does offer some relief from the high costs of gas. The body style is like the conventional 7-series and has a lot of attractive, modern styling going for it. In the cabin, the idea of luxury certainly isn't lost in this hybrid. Wood trim and leather abounds in a refined manner for a truly elegant riding experience.
With its higher price tag than the conventional versions, many buyers may prefer to stick with the 7-series.
The 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 is a full-sized luxury sedan offered in two trim levels, the 750i and the 750Li with an extended wheel base. This model is equipped with 19 inch alloy wheels and additional option packages for greater customization opportunities. Like the other cars in the 7-series, this hybrid has the decided advantage of a strong, assertive body design and plenty of details to add visual interest.
The front end and grille feature the split grille design with the BMW emblem placed predominantly above the grille center and wide headlights designed for optimum night vision. The wide hood has a modern touch with fin like metal work. On the sides and doors of the model, the ActiveHybrid 7 has scoped in sides and curves back to the rear fenders.
Interior Cargo
Considering its luxury status, the 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid is equipped with lots of features in the cabin to help it maintain this classification. Wood trim accents and leather seating set this hybrid apart of from most of the competition. In addition to its old world styling, the sedan keeps up well with the technology age thanks to the iDrive interface system.
This system is easy to use and features redundant controls for frequently used systems. Unlike the conventional 750, which offers this audio system as an option instead of standard equipment, the ActiveHybrid 7 has a 16 speaker sound system along with keyless ignition and entry as standard equipment.
The cabin of this sedan is spacious for the passengers in the front and rear seats. The seats are plush and well padded for comfort on any length of trip. The ActiveHybrid 7 rear seats can be heated, cooled, and feature a massage function with certain option packages.
The extended wheelbase version adds an additional 6 inches in leg room for the rear seats as well. In terms of cargo space, BMW has managed to only take one cubic feet of trunk space away from the hybrid model for the ion battery pack. This means, the ActiveHybrid 7 offers 13 cubic feet of cargo storage.
BMW equipped the 2012 ActiveHybrid 7 with plenty of standard and optional safety features. Some of the standard equipment for this sedan is anti-lock brakes, traction and stability control as well as a full assortment of airbags. Each model has front seat side airbags, front knee airbags, and side curtain airbags.
The ActiveHybrid 7 also features active front head restraints and BMW's assist emergency response system.
On the options list buyers will find side view and top parking cameras, a blind spot warning system, and infrared night vision to name a few. This hybrid may also be had with a lane departure warning system.
Driving Experience
Necessary power is important for any vehicle and is worrisome to many people in hybrid cars. No need to fear with the 2012 ActiveHybrid 7. This car is equipped with a 4.4-liter V-8 engine in addition to the electric motor. The powertrain is completed with an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear-wheel drive system. The total system gives up 455 hp and 515 lb-ft of torque, more power than the conventional versions.
In terms of fuel economy, this car is estimated to get 17/24 mpg city/highway.
One of the biggest complaints from drivers in terms of driving a hybrid is the lack of power and performance. This can't be said of the ActiveHybrid 7. Drivers are sure to ensure the acceleration and staying power of this model. Handling is impressive and the ride comfort isn't to be underestimated either.

Thanks for writing - and calling - with your questions and comments. Here are a few recent emails:
"…do you still see Leftie Louie the turtle?"
I usually spot Louie several times in my garden during the week. A few weeks back, I met his girlfriend "Lona" so I may have little Louie's next spring.
The last time I saw Louie, the Three-Toed Missouri Box Turtle without a left paw was stranded on a rock ledge in one of my small garden ponds.
After putting him back in the garden, he ate half an apple before disappearing.
"Quick question. Are there certain plants I should transplant in fall and others in spring?"
In general, if you want to transplant in fall, make it early fall so plants have a chance to get roots established before frost sets in.
Our first frost is usually around Halloween.
Fall is definitely the best time to plant, and transplant spring bulbs as well as daylilies and most crowded spring and summer perennials.
Wait until they have stopped blooming.
Pick a cool, overcast day, preferably with a little rain. That will make digging easier and help plants settle into their new home quicker.
Dig up a healthy ball of soil around roots.
Divide the roots with a sharp spade or by separating bulbs from their overgrown clumps. I usually get help to dig my new destination holes before digging up, dividing and moving.
Don't forget to give them a good drink after moving. I sometimes will sneak in a little diluted fertilizer, just to make sure they get a little boost to get started in their new home.
I prefer to transplant trees in early spring so they have a longer adjustment period to settle in. Just because leaves have been dropped doesn't mean the tree is dead.
Trees go dormant to try to survive extreme conditions, including transplanting.
I have a number of native dogwood trees transplanted years ago just now showing up in their new garden spots. If I were to plant more, I would be tempted to put some sort of marker in the spot to be reminded there may be a tree popping up there any year now.

Iowans fight health insurer's premium hike
Iowans fight health insurer's premium hike
Dozens of Iowans have asked the state health insurance commissioner to deny another premium increase sought by the state's dominant health insurer, Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
The company wants to raise premiums on 150,000 individual policyholders by 12 percent to 13 percent starting in April.
The Des Moines Register reports Wellmark has been raising premiums for the past several years, including 9.4 percent last year and 8.5 percent in 2011.
Wellmark says it needs more money to pay for the higher costs of medical services.
The company sells about 86 percent of the nonemployer health insurance policies in Iowa.
On Saturday state Insurance Commissioner Susan Voss will hold a public hearing on the company's request.

REPUBLIC Ferry County has been scolded by the Washington State Auditor's Office for making purchases that didn't comply with federal rules for school and road program funds.
The auditor questioned $23,692 in expenditures of U.S. Forest Service funds passed to the county through the state treasurer during 2012. The report and finding were released last week.
Grant guidelines say the county can use the money for certain search and rescue costs, including mission costs and to repair or replace equipment damaged ruing a search on federal forest land. The funding doesn't allow costs for preparation for or in anticipation of emergency services, the auditor said.
The county also didn't obtain some information required for payroll charges for a noxious weed and county road project, the audit found.
County officials didn't understand the restriction on use of funds in the two programs, the auditor said.
In response, the county said the forest education project expenses were a legitimate use of the funds, and that the county was told the money was considered county money.
"Ferry County didn't realize that the Forest Service could change the use of those funds after we agreed to their use and accepted the funds under those terms," the county's response said.
The weed funds were billed at a rate approved by the county weed board and at the same rate billed to other agencies, the county said.

Positive conservation outcomes included:
- Listing of European eels on CITES Appendix II
- Listing of seven sawfish species on CITES Appendix I
- Raising captive tigers for trade in their parts was rejected by CITES Parties, with a call on China to phase out its large-scale commercial tiger farms
- African elephant range countries at the meeting agreed to a 9-year suspension of ivory trading. There was also agreement to allow four southern African countries – Botswana, South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe – to sell stocks of their ivory in a one-off sale. Proceeds will go to local conservation efforts. After the sale, the suspension will take effect.
- Delegates adopted an ambitious new strategic vision to link CITES to the broader conservation and development agenda.
However there were also missed opportunities and disappointments:
- CITES parties rejected a proposal to list two shark species highly prized for their meat and fins – spiny dogfish and porbeagle shark – on Appendix II.
- All proposals to list tropical timber species on Appendix II were withdrawn, with one exception – Brazil wood was listed with an amendment to exclude certain items made from it, such as musical bows.
- The decision to list red, pink and other coral species in the genus Corallium on Appendix II was overturned.
First CITES CoP in the EU
CoP14 was the first CITES CoP to be held in the European Union – the top global importer by value of many wildlife commodities, including tropical timber, caviar, reptile skins, and live reptiles. As EU membership has expanded, the EU market for wildlife products has also increased.
The EU has had many significant achievements in wildlife law enforcement. Having the meeting in the EU presented an exciting opportunity to consider how these can be further enhanced through greater national, regional, and inter-regional cooperation.

Phonon-limited transport coefficients in extrinsic graphene

- room N-270, Bld. 04.8
Graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms, exhibits remarkable electronic, mechanical and thermal properties [1]. Conduction electrons in this material behave as relativistic massless chiral spinors, which can interact with the quantized mechanical vibrations (phonons) even at low temperatures. In this talk, the effect of electron-phonon scattering processes over the transport properties of extrinsic graphene will be discussed[2].
Electron-phonon interaction will be first formulated in second quantization, for chiral Dirac spinors and phonon Bose fields, within the deformation potential approximation.
Electrical and thermal resistivity, as well as the thermopower, are obtained within the Bloch theory approximations. Analytical expressions for the different transport coefficients, calculated from a variational solution of the Boltzmann transport equation, will be presented and discussed. The analytical expressions obtained from the theory predict a linear in temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity at high temperatures, but an unusual ~T^4 dependence at low temperature, in agreement with experiments[3]. The phonon-limited thermal resistivity exhibits a ~ T dependence and achieves a nearly constant value at high temperatures. The predicted Seebeck coefficient exhibits a n^{-1/2} dependence on the extrinsic carrier density, also in agreement with experiments in the literature[4].

The Criminal Mind
Advances in genetics and neuroscience are revolutionizing our understanding of violent behavior—as well as ideas about how to prevent and punish crime.
The scientific study of crime got its start on a cold, gray November morning in 1871, on the east coast of Italy. Cesare Lombroso, a psychiatrist and prison doctor at an asylum for the criminally insane, was performing a routine autopsy on an infamous Calabrian brigand named Giuseppe Villella. Lombroso found an unusual indentation at the base of Villella's skull. From this singular observation, he would go on to become the founding father of modern criminology.
Lombroso's controversial theory had two key points: that crime...

The aim of this book is to teach mathematics students how to program using their knowledge of mathematics. For this they require only to know how to construct a proof. The entire book's emphasis is on "how to think" when programming. Three methods for constructing an algorithm or a program are used: a) manipulation and enrichment of existing code; b) use of recurrent sequences; c) deferral of code writing, in order to deal with one difficulty at a time. Many theorems are mathematically proved and programmed. The last chapter explains how a compiler works and shows how to compile "by hand" little (but not trivial--even recursive) programs. The book is intended for anyone who thinks mathematically and wants to program and play with mathematics.Seroul, Raymond is the author of 'Programming for Mathematicians' with ISBN 9783540664222 and ISBN 354066422X.[read more]

Out of Order Now more than ever, American citizens are discontented and disillusioned with national politics, with approval ratings for Congress consistently ranking low regardless of the party in power.

Tottenham have turned down an offer from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala to take Younes Kaboul on loan, according to the Guardian.
The French defender has recently returned from injury - he hasn't featured for Spurs since the opening game of the season after requiring surgery on a knee complaint.
But Anzhi are keen to secure a replacement for the departed Christopher Samba - the former-Blackburn centre-back joined Queens Park Rangers in the January transfer window.
The Guardian suggests Kaboul would stand to earn considerably more than his current £35,000-a-week salary should he join the big-spending Russia club.
But Spurs have rejected Anzhi's advances, as they feel the Frenchman has a role to play as Tottenham look to seal a top four spot and a place in next year's Champions League.
The Russian transfer window closes at midnight on Wednesday night, so Anzhi face a race against time to shore up their defensive options following the sale of Samba.
The France international's contract expires at the end of next season, and the report claims he's likely to be offered an extension by Spurs in the summer - provided he can prove he's returned to full fitness.
The Russian league season resumes on 10 March after a lengthy winter break, and Anzhi have been one of the most active clubs in the transfer window - signing Shakhtar Donetsk star Willian and Lokomotiv Moscow fullback Andrey Yeschenko.

Storm survival tips
During the storm
•Stay informed by monitoring the storm through the Internet, radio or TV
•Stay indoors during the storm, away from windows and glass doors.
•Close inside doors, secure doors to the outside.
•Keep curtains and blinds closed.
•At the height of the storm, stay in a small, interior room.
After the storm
•Avoid flooded roads and washed-out bridges.
•Stay out of buildings that are surrounded by standing water.
•Inspect your home and take pictures of any damage for insurance reasons.
•Use flashlights rather than candles.
•Wait for word from officials before returning home.
•Stay away from loose or hanging power lines and report them to the utility right away.

Insurance information
If your property is damaged by Hurricane Sandy, the Maryland Insurance Administration and insurance companies have the following suggestions:
•Once the danger is over, contact your insurance company to report the damage. Keep a detailed inventory of the damage, including photos and video.
•Make temporary repairs so the damage doesn't get worse. That includes boarding up windows or holes in the roof. Mop up water and ventilate wet areas to hasten drying.
•Keep receipts for tarp, plywood or any other items used to make temporary repairs. Also, keep receipts of expenses you incur if you're unable to stay in your home because the damage is too severe.
•The typical deductible on a homeowner's policy is $500 to $1,000, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Be aware, your homeowner's policy may contain a "hurricane deductible," which you must pay first if the damage is caused by the storm before the insurance kicks in. The Institute says these hurricane deductibles can run 1 percent to 5 percent of the house's value — or even more in some coastal areas.

What is evolution but adapting things that are already existing? Thus we have some primitive parts from lizards and jellyfish.As a result our brain at its best has to account for what it is built upon.
"Although the things it can do are very wonderful and impressive, its design is very poor engineering in many respects," says David Linden, a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, the author of The Accidental Mind.
These parts may have been OK for their original owners, he says, but they aren't ideal for us.
Take brain cells, for example.
"They are slow. They are inefficient. They leak signals to their neighbors,"
We're still using a communication system developed 600 million years ago by jellyfish.
Deep Down, We're Lizards.
Jellyfish don't have a brain, but they were the first animal to have any sort of nervous system. It's a loose network of nerves called a "nerve net," says Chet Sherwood, who studies brain evolution at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Evolution's tinkering gave lizards the brain they needed to hunt and survive in a tough world, and our brains still have that ancient wiring.
The brain of an adult human is about three times the size of a gorilla brain.
In evolutionary terms big brain gave our human ancestors bigger volume for brain and it is still evolving and at the root of it we still have the reptilian brain.
Brain has two halves like walnut. These are shot through two worlds: conscious and unconscious mind. our conscious self does not initiate all behaviours. Instead, it is somehow alerted to behaviours that the rest of the brain and body are already planning and performing. Also keep in mind conscious experience does play some moderating role. We think rationally and we speak as though we understand what we speak about. But do we?
Take the matter of religion.
Religion relies on mystery and requires certain rituals and symbols to maintain this mystery. People are ready to defend their faith to death. On the other hand what about the fascination with iPad or iPhone for which people are ready to kill themselves? Or do desperate things disproportionate to the intrinsic value of objects themselves, and sell their kidneys as one did in China only last week? People queue through the night, despite the inclement weather to be the first to grab when shops are opened for business. Are we not seeing Progress masquerading religion in this case? Some Nerd who cannot do anything else makes a jargon and creates applications into program and lo and behold, he is looked upon with wonder. He is a modern shaman. Craze for latest gadgets is controlled by which part of our being? Unconscious mind or Rational mind?
Our brain evolved over some 6 millennia as I mentioned earlier is not the best,- and communication system leaks, and we have no idea which part of it is triggering us?
Brain is our thinking part but it depends how we want to interpret external impressions that we see.
In an earlier post I wrote about Cosmic Mind. We make our experience as basis and draw necessary conclusions from these events around us. If we are thinking from our unconscious mind a little and from conscious mind we cannot tell.
When we look into brain we are going down in time,

Gulab Jamuns ( Indian Milk Based Sweet )
Today's sweet is the delicious Gulab jamun, an absolutely melt-in-the-mouth favourite Indian dessert and is a living embodiment of Indian mithai (sweet) tradition.Gulab jamus are golden brown balls in flavored sugar syrup. They are served warm or at room temperature.
The main ingredient in most Indian sweets is 'khoya' (hindi)/koova (telugu) which is a thickened form of milk and forms a base in most creamy sweets like gulab jamun.Gulab jamun is basically a sweet from North India and is a sweet which one enjoys eating hot during winters.
Ingredients to make the gulab jamuns:
1 cup khoya (kovva)can be prepared by boiling and continuously stirring one litre of milk on medium heat till it form a thick paste.
3/4 cup maida (all purpose flour)
1/4 tsp cooking soda (soda bi carbonate)
enough ghee(clarified butter)for deep frying the jamuns
3 tbsps of prepared sugar syrup (warm)
1-2 tbsps of warm milk (not hot)
Ingredients to prepare the sugar syrup:
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
3-4 crushed cardomoms (optional)
Preparation of Sugar Syrup
The syrup should be made earlier and kept warm.To make the sugar syrup,mix 2 cups of sugar to 2 cups of water in a deep cooking dish. Add 3-4 cardamom pods, slightly crushed. Stir constantly with a spoon on medium heat for 15-18 minutes until sugar is all dissolved in water. Do not overheat..as the sugar might caramelize.
Transfer this hot syrup into a serving dish. Keep warm on stove.
Sieve the flour(maida).Add the khoya and baking powder to the flour(maida) and mix well.It will appear like bread crumbs.
Now add 3 tbsps sugar syrup and 1-2 tbsps of milk (warm but not hot milk) to make a soft dough.The milk can be adjusted to form a soft dough.Keep aside for half an hour.
After half an hour knead it again and make balls by gently rolling each portion between your palms into a smooth ball.You can shape into small balls or longitunal shapes.Place the balls on a plate.Keep aside.
Heat the ghee in a deep frying dish to medium heat and then turn to low heat and slip in the jamuns into the ghee from the side of the deep frying dish, one by one.
Remove the deep frying dish from fire and the jamuns will rise above the ghee in a minute.
Now bring the dish back to fire and on low heat fry the jamuns gently stirring constantly.
The jamuns must be gently and constantly stirred to ensure even browning on all sides.Keep turning the jamuns until they are a golden brown all over.
If the temperature of the ghee is too high then the gulab jamuns might break. The temperature should be adjusted to ensure that the gulab jamuns do not break or cook too quickly. The balls must be fried very slowly under low temperature. This will ensure complete cooking from inside and even browning.
Add the fried gulab jamuns directly into the warm syrup. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
Gulab jamuns can also be served with ice cream,kulfi or fresh cream.

The very first time I dined at an Indian restaurant, I tried Gulab Jamuns. I wasn't ready for the texture, though...it was actually my frist time eating Indian food...period!
Thankfully, I've not only learned to love Indian cuisine, but those tasty sweet balls, too!
- 10:21 am
hi, these jamuns look so lovely and ur step by step pics are really helpful.But here in Hong kong i wouln't be able to get KHOYA. Can it be made at home or is their any replacement?
- 2:17 am
- sailu said...
yes anonymous,khoya can be prepared at home. Take 1 cup of milk powder and add enough water to be able to knead it to a smooth dough.Then add two tsps ghee and continue to knead well. It is very important that the kneading be done well.
Alternately you can use ricotta cheese..but I havent tried with it so I cant vouch for it.Hope this helps.

A Bimonthly Email Newsletter from the International Mathematical Union
Editor: Mireille Chaleyat-Maurel, Université René Descartes, Paris, France
From the Editor
Dear Reader,
In this issue, you will find the main decisions taken at the last meeting of the IMU Executive Committee held in Oxford (UK) from 23-24 April.
Note that IMU is launching a competition for a logo. Do not hesitate to submit your contribution!
I also would like to remind you that your reactions to IMU-Net help us to improve the content.
All your feedback will be appreciated.

News from the IMU
The 71st Meeting of the IMU Executive Committee was held in Oxford from 23-24 April 2004.
New EC member
The Oxford meeting was the first to be attended by Victor Vassiliev (Moscow), who has been coopted to the Executive Committee, following a procedure in the Statutes, to fill the vacancy arising from the death of Andrey Bolibruch. The EC agreed to recommend to Adhering Organizations that Vassiliev be formally elected in a postal ballot. This proposal is supported by the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Prize committees
The chairs of the prize committees at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid in 2006 were decided as follows. Fields Medal Committee: President of the IMU, John Ball (Oxford University)
Nevanlinna Prize Committee: Margaret Wright (Courant Institute, New York)
Gauss Prize Committee: Martin Grötschel (Zuse Institute, Berlin)
The names of the other members of these committees will only be made public after the ICM 2006.
Developing countries
The EC decided to create a Developing Countries Strategy Group in order to increase its involvement in mathematics in developing countries. Moreover, in cooperation with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste (Italy), Sharon Laurenti of ICTP has been appointed to a part-time administrative position for IMU, to support the Commission for Development and Exchanges and the Strategy Group, and in particular efforts to increase external funding for developing country activities. IMU is very pleased to have been awarded such a grant for 2004 by the Norwegian Abel Fund.
The EC decided to present to the General Assembly 2006 a proposal for a change in the IMU Statutes that will expand the EC membership by one person. The purpose of the change is to allow for a greater diversity of people on the EC. The EC will also look into the possibility of enabling countries to become `Associate Members' of IMU as a first step towards full membership. Finally, the EC will propose a new way of constructing slates for the elections at the General Assembly via independent Nominating Committees, and will operate the new system informally for the 2006 General Assembly -- this will be described more fully in the next issue of IMU-Net.
Logo competition
The International Mathematical Union (IMU) is sponsoring a competition for a logo for IMU. Guidelines:
- All submissions must be made electronically to email@example.com by 20 February 2005. No mail submissions will be considered
- All submissions must be original artwork, and the design chosen becomes the property of IMU to be used and adapted for IMU publications, website, and merchandise and in any other manner determined by IMU.
- IMU will make the final decision, which cannot be appealed.
- The creator of the chosen design will receive an expense-paid trip to the International Congress of Mathematicians 2006 in Madrid, Spain, 22-30 August 2006. The award will consist of one economy airfare, local accommodations, including hotel and food, and congress registration, up to a total reimbursement not to exceed US $3,000. The recipient will be responsible for all reservations.
Please address any inquiries regarding this competition to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
IMU on the Web
The IMU Committee on Electronic Information and Communication (CEIC) resolved at its most recent meeting that its activities should emphasise assisting the mathematical community to inform itself on electronic and information issues. IMU on the Web, Communications and Information from the CEIC, will appear in each IMU-Net newsletter and will be accompanied by additional commentary and links. Some will be invited signed opinions and some will come from the CEIC itself. They intend to stimulate interest in and debate about electronic matters. Our first piece, see
written by the CEIC for IMU-NET 4, was on the vexing problem of Journal pricing.
It'd be great to be able to google snippets of mathematical formulas as readily as we can now find text. In practice, however, the differing representations of mathematics on the web creates serious obstacles. The recent 'IMA "Hot Topics" Workshop: Enhancing the Searching of Mathematics' was occasion to explore these matters, to suggest standards, and to formulate policies. Robert Miner and Michael Doob summarise the issues at
and report in more detail on the workshop at
International Council on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM)
What on earth is the International Council on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (or ICIAM)? The Editor of IMU-Net has invited me to try to explain this to you.
If you have heard the acronym ICIAM, it was most likely in connection with the Congresses that are held every four years under this banner (but with ICIAM this time standing for the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics). The first ICIAM was held in Paris in 1987. Since then congresses have been held in Washington 1991, Hamburg 1995, Edinburgh 1999, and Sydney 2003. The next ICIAM will be held in Zurich in July 2007. The ICIAMs have provided a showcase for the best work in the contemporary applications of mathematics, in all of their extraordinary richness and variety.
The 1987 ICIAM in Paris took place under the auspices of four of the world's leading applied mathematics societies: GAMM (Germany), IMA (United Kingdom), SIAM (USA), and SMAI (France). That and subsequent congresses were controlled by a committee of leaders of a growing band of applied mathematics societies. That committee was called CICIAM,for Committee for International Congresses in Industrial and Applied Mathematics. A major development took place in 1999, when CICIAM reconstituted itself as a Council, the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. This change reflected a growing sense within the governing body, that with its member societies representing a good proportion of all of the world's mathematicians with an interest in applications, it had a responsibility to foster the world-wide development of mathematics in application. The first President of the new Council was Reinhard Mennicken. He and his successor, Olavi Nevanlinna, presided over another substantial change, namely the concept of 'Associate Member'. This new membership category allowed membership to the many societies which, though not 'primarily' concerned with applications, nevertheless have a 'significant' interest in applications. The first Associate Member was the London Mathematical Society.
By now there are 17 full Members of ICIAM and 5 Associate Members. And the numbers are certain to grow, given that four new applications for one or other class of membership are being considered by the ICIAM Board (consisting of representatives of the member societies) at its current annual meeting in Zurich in May.
Although ICIAM is very different in its structure from IMU (whose mambers are in essence nations, not societies), it was recognised from the beginning that many of the aims of ICIAM and the IMU are the same, and that cooperation should be the keyword. As an example of this cooperation, the ICIAM Board last year formally adopted the 'Best Practices' document of the IMU's Committee on Electronic Information and Communication. Proposals for a joint activity of the two international organisations in a developing nation are now being studied. If you are a member of a society which is not in the ICIAM family, I invite you to encourage the leaders of your society to refer to the ICIAM web site, at http://www.iciam.org/ or to contact me directly.
Ian H. Sloan
President of ICIAM
ICMI 2004 awards
The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI), has, for the first time in its history, established prizes recognizing outstanding achievement in mathematics education research. The Felix Klein Medal, named for the first president of ICMI (1908-1920), honors a lifetime achievement.
The Hans Freudenthal Medal, named for the eigth president of ICMI (1967-1970), recognizes a major cumulative program of research. These awards are to be made in each odd numbered year, with presentation of the medals, and invited addresses by the medalists at the following International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME).
The awards represent the judgment of an (anonymous) jury of distinguished scholars of international stature, chaired by Prof. Michéle Artigue of the University Paris 7.
The Felix Klein Medal for 2003 is awarded to Guy Brousseau, Professor Emeritus of the University Institute for Teacher Education of Aquitaine in Bordeaux, for his lifetime development of the theory of didactic situations, and its applications to the teaching and learning of mathematics.
The Hans Freudenthal Medal for 2003 is awarded to Celia Hoyles, Professor at the Institute of Education of the University of London, for her seminal research on instructional uses of technology in mathematics education.
Presentation of the medals, and invited addresses of the medalists, will occur at ICME-10 in Copenhagen, July 4-11, 2004. http://www.mathunion.org/Organization/ICMI/Awards/2003/index.html
Miguel de Guzman
We are saddened by the death of Miguel de Guzman on 14 April 2004.
He was President of ICMI from 1991 to 1998.
An obituary of Miguel de Guzman is posted on the web page of the Royal Spanish Society of Mathematics
Experiencing Mathematics
Following the World Mathematical Year 2000 programme launched by IMU, UNESCO is supporting a travelling exhibition on mathematics aimed at improving the image of mathematics among the general public. Among the main sponsors are ICMI, IMU and Centre.Sciences from Orléans (France).
The first venue of the exhibition will be at the International Congress of Mathematical Education (ICME10), 4-11 July 2004 in Copenhagen (Denmark) Later on, in partnership with the City of Paris, the exhibition will be held from 9 December 2004 to 14 January 2005 in the Maison des Métallos in Paris (France)

Jeep Suspension Control Arm OptionsPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on April 2, 2014
Many Jeeps since the mid-'80s came from the factory with coil suspensions and control arms. Most of these control arms are more than adequate for a little off-roading, but things wear and not all control arms are the same. If you own a TJ, XJ, ZJ, WJ, MJ, JK, or others, your Jeep has control arms and they may need some attention. Over the past couple of years we've been beating on a set of stock control arms in hopes of finding the weak links, wear points, and points of failure. A good case of death wobble and looks to match the beatings finally encouraged us to swap these stock arms for some well-designed and functional aftermarket arms from JKS Manufacturing. Follow along as we swap out the stock beat arms for some shiny and trick new parts. We'll also give you some cheap alternatives that should work for you while you save up for some real control arms. These tips and tricks should work for TJs, XJs, ZJs, MJs, WJs, and JKs. The last two, WJs and JKs, come from the factory with pretty decent tubular control arms.

MONTREAL — A 48-year-old woman died Thursday morning in the Fabre métro station after it appears her scarf and then her hair got caught in the teeth of the escalator. She was apparently strangled by her scarf.
The incident, which has been deemed an accident by Montreal police, occurred at 9:15 a.m. at the station on the corner of Jean Talon Street East and Fabre Street in the Villeray district, said Const. Jean-Pierre Brabant.
"The woman's scarf got caught in the escalator and then she bent down to try to get it out and her hair got stuck, too," Brabant said. "A bystander called 911 and by the time police arrived, she was declared dead," by an Urgences-Santé paramedic.
"We got a call a little after 9 a.m. that there was a woman found at the bottom of an escalator, trapped, and that there was an article of clothing involved," said Robert Lamle, a spokesperson with Urgences-Santé. "The woman was in cardiac arrest."
"The firefighters, first responders, got there first and began resuscitation efforts. Our technicians arrived and took over but it was not viable and the woman was declared dead," Lamle said.
There is an emergency stop button at the top and bottom of the escalator, which is the case for all escalators serving the métro system. Brabant said he did not know whether anyone pressed the stop button while the woman was struggling. He said a witness, whom police are looking for, used an STM emergency phone to call for help. He asked anyone else who witnessed the incident to call police.
An engineer who has been working on these mechanisms for the Sociéte de Transport Montreal for the past nine years told The Gazette escalators are equipped with safety mechanisms that are supposed to prevent this kind of accident.
"The landing plate in the combs at the bottom are supposed to back up when a certain force is engaged," said the contractor, who did not want his name or the name of his company published.
"These escalators stop all the time, usually jammed with rocks or stones in the winter, or if teens jump on the steps with great force."
The engineer said the Blue line is the youngest of all four métro lines, and was built in the 1980s making the escalators more than 30 years old. Like the Green, Orange and Yellow lines before them, these Blue line escalators are scheduled to be replaced in the next couple of years, the engineer said.
However, he said upkeep and testing of the mechanism is more important than the age of the equipment.
"The landing plate is kind of sensitive, but these have to be maintained on a regular basis and I'm certain that the coroner will be looking at the maintenance schedules."
Detectives from the Montreal police reviewed surveillance video from the métro station, but the footage did not shed light on exactly how the incident unfolded, according to police spokesperson Daniel Lacoursière.
The southwest entrance to the Fabre métro station was closed to the public until 2:10 p.m. and the escalators will remain out of service until all safety checks are done, said Amélie Régis, a spokesperson for the Société du Transport de Montréal (STM).
Régis offered condolences to the woman's family, but said the STM could not comment further while the incident is being investigated, except to say that the STM is co-operating fully with police.
Métro users were shocked by the news that someone could die while doing something most of them do several times a day.
"Personally, I'm really traumatized because I use that escalator every day," said 13-year-old Philippe Silyutin, who was standing with friends outside the Fabre station entrance while police investigated Friday morning. "I will be very careful now about any threads hanging down or shoe laces, for sure."
Santa Joseph was shocked to hear of the incident from a reporter.
"An accident like that ... it's hard to imagine a scarf could cause this. It could happen to anybody, if you don't realize your scarf is dragging ... It's just a scarf to protect from the cold. That it could cause a death, your own death. It's so terrible. I wonder if she had children. I'm thinking of her family."
One woman who lives right beside the Fabre station said the incident has confirmed her long held fear of escalators, which set in when a friend was paralyzed after falling on one.
"I always take the stairs. I have a phobia of escalators," she said, adding that she carries her baby and stroller down the stairs every time rather than using the escalator.
In the main entrance to the Fabre station, a young woman who had just learned of the death pointed out the safety buttons to her mother, who admitted she'd never noticed them.
"A lot of people don't even know there is a stop button there. It is very useful. Maybe if there had been a person with her they would have had the time to hit the button and save a life."
— Step on and off quickly and carefully.
— Hold the handrail.
— Always stand and face forward. Never sit on the steps.
— Keep hands, feet and clothing clear of moving parts.
— Always wear shoes on escalators.
— Do not ride escalators wearing loose clothing or with shoelaces dragging.
— Hold the hand of young children.
— Do not bring strollers, carts or large packages on escalators. If a stroller must be transported on an escalator, the child should be removed from the stroller and carried. (This would require two adults, as each must have a hand free to hold handrail.)

Over the years Buick has worked hard to change its image of a builder of cars that are long on comfort but short on excitement. It is a little surprising, then, to encounter the 2009 Buick Enclave, a family-friendly eight-passenger crossover SUV that proves Buick can build an exciting vehicle. The Enclave is Buick's entry into the growing luxury SUV category and competes with well-established offerings from Lexus, Acura, BMW and Volvo. With eye-catching exterior styling, a highly usable interior and a remarkably quiet cabin, the Buick Enclave has what it takes to be a viable entrant in this competitive segment.
If you appreciate the refinement of a luxury car but also need the flexibility of a crossover SUV, we think you'll like the 2009 Buick Enclave. It offers the image of owning a luxury vehicle, yet at a more affordable price than many of its competitors.
You may not like the 2009 Buick Enclave if you plan to venture far from paved roads. All-wheel-drive is offered for the Enclave but it is engineered to enhance traction in the more realistic conditions of wet or snowy roads and is not intended for serious off-roading.
The Enclave receives a more powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine with output now rated at 288 horsepower. Heated and cooled front seats become a stand-alone option, while Bluetooth is made standard on all trims.
The 2009 Buick Enclave is made to carry up to eight passengers in relaxed comfort and it does so with ease. At the same time it also manages to deliver engaging, even fun driving dynamics. The steering is light but firms up a bit at speed to give the Enclave a confident feel. The V6 engine provides good if not scorching acceleration and should be up to the task of hauling a full load of cargo or passengers. At cruising speeds Buick's attention to noise reduction pays off with very little wind, road or engine noise intruding into the cabin.
Second-Row Seats Getting to the rear-most seats in many vehicles can be a hassle. Not so in the Enclave, where the cleverly designed second-row seats, with flip-up cushions and the capability to slide far forward, provide a wide flat space to enter the third-row seating area. QuietTuning Buick's QuietTuning method of in-vehicle noise reduction may seem like marketing hype, but it has to be experienced to be appreciated. At higher speeds the interior remains delightfully calm and free of the sounds that fatigue occupants on long drives.
The 2009 Buick Enclave's interior features a curvaceous dash design accented by camphor burl wood appliques and chrome trim. High-quality materials, a simple, logical layout and an impressively low level of interior noise make for an extremely inviting cabin. The Enclave is offered in both seven- and eight-passenger versions with slide-and-fold second-row seats that make getting to the third row extremely easy. Cargo space behind the third row is good and, with the second and third rows folded, the Enclave offers a cavernous, flat load area.
As one of the few vehicles to make it from concept to production without having its exterior styling diluted, the 2009 Buick Enclave offers a bolder appearance than many crossover SUVs. While large enough to accommodate eight passengers, the Enclave's artful body lines give it the look of a much smaller vehicle. The face of the Enclave features a "waterfall" grille, modern-looking portholes above the fenders and intricately detailed almond-shaped head lamps. Adding some flash to its svelte body are standard 18-inch wheels, chrome-tipped dual exhaust outlets and chrome roof rails.
There are two trims offered for the 2009 Buick Enclave. The standard equipment list for the base CX trim includes 18-inch wheels, a power liftgate, power front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control. Stepping up to the CXL adds heated power-adjustable front seats, leather seating surfaces and stylish 19-inch aluminum wheels. Standard safety features on all Enclaves include anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, front air bags, front-seat-mounted air bags and three-row side-curtain airbags that stay inflated longer in the event of a vehicle rollover.
Many of the optional features available for the 2009 Buick Enclave are grouped into packages. Included in the Driver Confidence package are remote vehicle engine start, a heated windshield washer fluid reservoir and rear parking sensors. Available only for the CXL trim is the Luxury Package that adds power folding side mirrors, adaptive headlamps and a power tilting and telescoping steering wheel. Also available are a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, a rear-facing camera, eight-passenger seating, heated and cooled front seats, a navigation system and a power sunroof.
Powering the 2008 Buick Enclave is a strong 3.6-liter V6 engine. It delivers energetic performance and excellent fuel economy with the help of modern technologies like variable valve timing, direct injection and an electronic throttle. The V6 is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. A wide spread of gear ratios helps get the most out of the engine while maximizing efficiency. We did, however, notice some delayed reactions from the transmission and the occasional rough shift. An optional all-wheel-drive system is also available which requires no driver intervention and automatically distributes torque between the front and rear wheels. 3.6-liter V6 288 horsepower at 6300 rpm 270 lb.-ft. of torque at 3400 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/24 (FWD), 16/22 (AWD)
Among the Buick Enclave's competitors are the Lexus RX 350, BMW X5, Volvo XC90 and Acura MDX. With a starting price just under $35,000 and a fully loaded price of over $50,000, the Enclave is a relative bargain in the luxury crossover SUV category. While the less-expensive Enclave doesn't offer a V8 engine like the X5 and XC90, it does offer seating for eight, more than any of its competitors. To compare the actual transaction prices that consumers are paying, be sure to check the Fair Purchase Price. The price advantage offered by the Buick Enclave is somewhat offset by residual values that are expected to fall below those of most of its competitors.

Marquardt's UFC return rocked, Cormier calls out Jones
Nate Marquardt's anticipated return to the UFC was thrown into major doubt after he was hammered by Tarec Saffiedine in Saturday's final Strikeforce event, on a night when Daniel Cormier sent a message to Jon Jones.
Marquardt saw his welterweight title - and potentially his ticket back to the UFC - snatched away by Saffiedine, who owned the stand-up element of the fight for a 48-47 49-46 49-46 decision victory.
Having departed the UFC in acrimonious circumstances in June 2011, when high testosterone levels forced him out of a fight with Rick Story on the day of the weigh-ins, Marquardt looked set for a return as the Strikeforce welterweight champion. He had even stated he would fight Georges St-Pierre if asked.
However, Saffiedine peppered Marquardt's left leg to leave him struggling to walk ahead of the fifth round. Only in the second stanza did the champion threaten with a trip takedown, but his immediate future now looks as troubled as his highly damaged leg following a one-sided defeat.
"I've been training so hard for so long," Saffiedine said. "My kicks are one of my best weapons, and I trained them a lot in training, so that was kind of my game plan. It's unbelievable. I can't [believe] I'm wearing the belt right now. It's unreal."
Daniel Cormier's UFC dream remains alive after he comfortably beat Dion Staring in the co-main event. Cormier pounced for a vicious finish at 4.02 of the second round, stopping his man via TKO.
Staring was never expected to challenge Cormier, who is the biggest name set to enter the UFC from Strikeforce's roster. The two-time Olympian took his rival down at will and smashed him with punches and elbows to force the stoppage, before turning his attention to Frank Mir and UFC light-heavyweight champion Jones.
"I signed my UFC contract," Cormier told Showtime Sports. "April 20 on Fox, Frank Mir, let's do it. It was supposed to happen, and we were supposed to fight in Oklahoma, so he owes it to me.
"I'm going to let Jon defend his belt on April 27 [against Chael Sonnen], and then I'm going to kick his ass in the fall."
Elsewhere, Josh Barnett did his chances of a UFC return no harm with a first-round submission of Nandor Guelmino. Barnett secure an arm-triangle at 2.11 of the first round to defeat a man who had won his last seven.
Gegard Mousasi proved too much for Mike Kyle, winning via rear-naked choke at 4.09 of round one in the 205lb division, while Ronaldo Jacare Souza submitted Ed Herman via first-round kimura in a 194lb catchweight fight.

Don Mattingly stood at first base Thursday taking throws from Dodgers second baseman Justin Turner.
Two images immediately skewed the picture.
The first was the peculiarity of a manager manning a position during batting practice. The second was how Mattingly wore the glove on his left hand and threw with his right.
Mattingly, of course, is left-handed.
Sure enough, when he turned to throw the ball to the catcher his feet weren't quite sure where to step — or in what order — and his throw just sort of arched its way to the target rather than arrive on a sure, straight line.
In other words, the sequence looked a bit uncertain.
For Mattingly's sake, let's hope the position he assumes in the Dodgers' dugout and clubhouse this season cuts a more commanding look — and the results reflect it.
Not to say this is a make-or-break season for the fourth-year manager, but considering the financial commitment ownership has made in him and a high-priced club that fell one step away from the World Series last season a level of expectation is in place.
"We're the Dodgers. We're an all-caps franchise. We're not a lower-case franchise," club President Stan Kasten declared. "We should be contending every year."
Championship or bust?
"I have an owner, a former point guard, and he would tell you that for sure," Kasten said, laughing.
He was referring to Magic Johnson, of course, the prominent face of an ownership group that's investing more than $250 million in this year's star-studded roster.
"I mean, let's put it this way," Kasten continued. "We're supposed to be contenders every year."
And we all know when expectations aren't met on a baseball field, especially for a team with a payroll soaring higher than any club in the Major Leagues, the first finger pointed is always directed at the manager.
"I am, in a sense, in charge of on the field and the way we (play)," Mattingly conceded. "And I feel a responsibility for that."
So, late October baseball or else?
The Dodgers' first World Series title since 1988 … or heads will fall?
Maybe not quite that drastic. But close.
The Dodgers are built for the long and short haul, their abundance of starting pitching deep enough to absorb the rigors of a 162-game season and the dominance of Clayton Kershaw and Zach Greinke at the top of the rotation an ideal one-two punch.
The offense can be as good as any club anywhere, especially if Matt Kemp's body cooperates and Hanley Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez repeat what they did last season.
And in mercurial right-fielder Yasiel Puig, the Dodgers have a dynamic force that can win a game in a variety of ways.
All the pieces are in place. There are no excuses, short of an injury riddled roster, for the Dodgers not to be playing deep into October.
And that means the man standing at the top step in the dugout is very much accountable if objectives aren't met.
"But it's not a greater sense of responsibility," Mattingly insisted. "I've felt it from the very beginning."
In fact, he embraced the scrutiny when he let it be known after last season he wasn't keen on returning in 2014 if it meant working without the security of a multi-year contract — or repeating the awkwardness of managing in 2013 on an expiring one,
The Dodgers relented and locked up Mattingly with a three-year deal.
But the protection of financial security comes with a tag line — and in Mattingly's case it reads: for whom much is given, much is expected.
Mattingly got the monetary security he was seeking, and the hammer he needed to manage as he sees fit.
In return the Dodgers handed him the keys to a high-priced Ferrari.
And they expect him to drive it all the way to October.
As he settles back in the driver's seat, Mattingly doesn't need MapQuest for directions.
"I think definitely we have high expectations for ourselves," Mattingly said. "There's no doubt about that. I'm not going to deny that at all."
Perhaps, but if the Dodgers arrive in late September and the playoffs aren't assured or within reach, let the blame game commence.
Across the field in the opposing dugout, Angels manager Mike Scioscia felt a similar degree of heat, if not for different reasons.
Four consecutive years of under-achievement, including two seasons with the mighty Albert Pujols teaming with young superstar Mike Trout, has left the long-time manager as vulnerable as ever.
Owner Arte Moreno has spent millions upon millions with the additions of Pujols and Josh Hamilton and C.J. Wilson and locking up Jered Weaver and now Trout, who just agreed to a six-year, $145 million extension.
All he has to show for it is four years in a row without a playoff appearance.
Moreno, perhaps out of deference to the manger who guided the Angels to their only World Series title in 2002 and six playoffs appearances from 2002 to 2009, has shown unusual patience during the playoff drought considering all the money he's invested.
But it's hard to imagine Scioscia surviving another year without the postseason.
The makes the pressure especially thick in Anaheim.
"From a personal basis I feel it more than anybody because I have high expectations for what we want to achieve and what we're capable of achieving," Scioscia said.
The Angels have re-worked the rotation, added high-priced veterans, imported new third baseman David Freese and traded a popular local product in Mark Trumbo in trying to assist Scioscia in getting back to the playoffs.
Failure to get there could mean his job.
The same might be true for Mattingly.
For whom much is given, much is expected.

BRISTOL, Va. – On Wednesday night, the King University women's volleyball team traveled to face their crosstown rivals, Virginia Intermont College. The Tornado dropped the first set, but rebounded to take the final three sets, winning the match 3-1.
King (2-3) grabbed the early lead in the first set, and held a 6-2 advantage following a Summer Kremer kill. The Tornado stretched the lead to 14-9 on a Casey Williams service ace before the Cobras (2-4) started a comeback. Virginia Intermont rolled off five straight points to even the set, and a sixth straight point to take a 15-14 lead. The teams traded points until the Cobras scored three consecutive points to take a 21-18 lead. King got back within 22-21, but Virginia Intermont scored three of the final four points to take the set 25-22.
The Tornado responded by scoring the first three points of the second set, and opened up a 9-4 lead following a Lauren Willoughby kill. King then scored four straight points to stretch their advantage to 19-10 later in the set before Kelsey Griffitts ended the 25-18 set win with a kill.
King kept rolling in the third set, and held a 4-1 lead following a Griffitts block. With the Tornado leading 7-5, the Cobras made a run, scoring four straight points to take a 9-7 lead. The Cobras stretched their lead to 16-12 before Olivia Underwood sparked a King run with a service ace. Jordan Baty registered a kill to bring King within one, and Kremer drilled another kill to give King a 17-16 lead. Grace Underwood extended the King lead to 19-16 with a block, and the Tornado run finally ended at 7-0 following a Cobra kill. However, Kremer brought momentum back to King's side with a kill as the Tornado went on to take the set 25-21.
The fourth set was tight early until Baty registered another kill to spark a 4-0 run that gave King a 9-5 lead. The Tornado then used another 4-0 run to gain a commanding 17-8 lead. The Cobras tried to comeback, but couldn't get closer than eight points as the Tornado went on to take the set 25-15, and the match 3-1.
Griffitts led the Tornado with 11 kills while Willoughby, Kremer and Grace Underwood all chipped in with eight kills apiece. Payton Tipton anchored the defense with 18 digs.
King will be in action again this weekend as they host the King University Invitational. The Tornado will play Southern Wesleyan University at 12:00 p.m., and Carson-Newman University at 4:30 p.m. Both matches will be in the Student Center Complex.

No stranger to the limelight, Katie Holmes strikes a flirty pose on the August 2014 cover of Glamour magazine.
In her interview (conducted by guy pal/uber-designer Zac Posen), the "Dawson's Creek" darling discusses the ups and downs of being a working mom.
On working with Meryl Streep on The Giver:
"Being in a movie with Meryl Streep was a huge dream come true. When the cameras rolled, she was spot-on and such a pro. It was just a thrill to walk on set with her."
On whether she is dating:
"I am really focused on motherhood and work right now."
On how being a mother has changed her life:
"I've seen Frozen a lot. But the biggest change? I think you don't know—I didn't know how much love I had in me. It's overwhelming. Every day I discover more about this spectacular human being I get to be the mother of."
On her personal style:
"I do like to buy my own clothes because I like to support designers. I know the work that goes into it. I have a tightly edited closet. I like what I like. And I repeat a lot. But I'm always comfortable in jeans—I feel like I can really do anything when I'm in them."
On her family:
"[M]y family has been so crucial to my outlook on life. I started acting at 17 and had success at an early age, where all of a sudden people knew who I was. But my parents always treated me the exact same way at home and reminded me of gratitude. And that's been a grounding force."
