Jonsson Library of Government Documents
The Jonsson Library of Government Documents, located on the East lobby of the Cecil H. Green Library building, is the home of the Government Documents Department of the Stanford University Libraries. Reference assistance with government documents is available from the Green Library Information Center desk or by contacting the government information librarians directly.
Government documents include publications and data of the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, foreign national and local, and international governmental agencies. We acquire materials via depository agreements, subscriptions, mailing lists, and by contacting agencies directly.
Coming Soon to this section: History of the Jonsson Library
What is a Depository Library?
"A library designated by law to receive without charge all or a selection
of the official publications of a government." -Dictionary.com
"Governments at all levels have arrangements to get their publications to people. Depository programs exist for states, the federal government, foreign governments and international organizations. The US version is the Federal Depository Library Program or FDLP. State and international organization depository programs are typically administered by headquarter libraries. For example, the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, is the program manager for the United Nations depository program and the California State Library manages the California depository library program."
-Forte, E. J., Hartnett, C. J., & Sevetson, A. (2011). Fundamentals of government information : mining, finding, evaluating, and using government resources. New York: Neal-Schuman Publishers. p. 45
Federal Collections
US Depository and other Federal Government Information Collections
The Stanford University Libraries (FDLP #0051) are an 85% Selective Federal Depository Library, established in 1895. However, publications prior to that date have been actively acquired in print and digital formats. Non-depository documents are also collected. Depository materials are cataloged and arranged in the Green Library Basement Stacks using the SuDoc classification system. This system arranges publications on the shelf by issuing agency.
The US depository collection has provided the systematic supply of the regular output of the Government Printing Office (GPO); over the years, titles extending back to the Continental Congress have been added to form a substantial documentary resource of the early government of America. Several agencies have become the focus of the Collection:
• Agriculture Department
• Commerce Department
• Congress
• Interior Department
• Office of the President
• State Department
• War Department
Many smaller agencies with a limited output of publications are also very significant because of their historical context: for example, Panama Canal, Censorship Office, and the Children's Bureau. Their publications are also systematically collected. Active book selection for the United States Federal collection has brought in government agency publications which are not issued by the Government Printing Office, commonly referred to as non-depository publications. Still more importantly for the researcher are the special resources of unpublished archives, usually in microformat. Other special resources include the microfiche series of declassified documents, titles in the American Statistics Index, technical reports of the Atomic Energy Commission, and a typescript copy of the hearings of the National Recovery Administration (1933-1935).
Finally, a note on the physical size of the United States collection underscores its significance: there are in excess of 130,000 volume equivalents of publications, 160,000 technical reports, thousands of reels of microfilm of archives, and more than 300,000 microfiche.
California Collections
California Depository and other State Government Information Collections
The Stanford Library became a depository library for California State Government Publications in 1965. However, publications prior to that date have been acquired, with nearly complete coverage of Legislative publications back to 1849. The majority of the collection is classified in the California State Library classification scheme or CalDoc classification and is shelved in the Green Library West Stacks on Level W2.
Publications of other states and jurisdictions are in the Green Library stacks and branch libraries with a small reference collection in the Social Sciences Resources Center, Bing Wing, Green Library. Collection strengths are in historical legislative manuals or bluebooks, state statistical yearbooks, and various executive agency reports.
International Collections
United Nations Depository and other International Government Organizations
International governmental organizations (IGO) are agencies to which three or more national government below. The Stanford Library is a United Nations Depository Library (DL-021), established in 1946 when the UN was formed. The library also has a strong League of Nations collection, the precursor of the UN. The official records, publications, reports of the UN and other IGOs are either housed in the Green Library Stacks by LC or in the West Stacks, W2, and are classified by the UN Official Document symbol or by their appropriate international document classification symbol, e.g. OAS, UNESCO, etc.
The Library has strong historical and current collections for the World Trade Organization, and its precursor the General Agreement on Tarriffs and Trade (GATT); the Organization of American States (once a depository, now full subscription library); the European Union and European Commission; and certain specialized agencies of the United Nations, specifically the World Bank, UNESCO, OECD, ICAO, and IMF.
Supplementing the international organiztion collections, the Library collects print and digital materials from a diverse range of international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), with emphasis on those with UN consultative status or those who focus on key research areas for the University, e.g. Development, Economics and Finance, Energy, Environment, Labour, Trade, etc.
Foreign Collections
Foreign government documents are collected from various national governments aroud the world. Historically, the Stanford Libraries have collected extensively from Great Britain; France; Argentina; Brazil; Chile; Uruguay; SubSaharan Africa.

I think I am confused about some terminology in algebraic geometry, specifically the meaning of the term "torsor". Suppose that I fix a scheme S. I want to work with torsors over S. Let $\mu$ be a sheaf of abelian groups over S. Then my understanding is that a $\mu$-torsor, what ever that is, should be classified by the cohomology gorup $H^1(X; \mu) \cong \check H^1(X; \mu)$.
Now suppose that $\mu$ is representable in the category of schemes over S, i.e. there is a group object $$\mathbb{G} \to S$$ in the category of schemes over $S$, and maps (over S) to $\mathbb{G}$ is the same as $\mu$. Lots of interesting example arise this way.
I also thought that in this case a torsor over S can be defined as a scheme $P \to S$ over S with an action of the group $\mathbb{G}$ such that locally in S it is trivial. I.e. there exists a cover $U \to S$ such that $$ P \times_S U \cong \mathbb{G} \times_S U $$ as spaces over S with a $\mathbb{G}$-action (or rather as spaces over U with a $\mathbb{G} \times_S U$-action).
The part that confuses me is that these two notions don't seem to agree. Here is an example that I think shows the difference. Let $S= \mathbb{A}^1$ be the affine line (over a field k) and let $x_1$ and $x_2$ by two distinct points in $S$. Consider the subscheme $Y = x_1 \cup x_2$, and let $C_Y$ be the complement of Y in S. Let $A$ be your favorite finite abelian group which we consider as a constant sheaf over S. Then we have an exact sequence of sheaves over S, $$0 \to A_{C_Y} \to A \to i_*A \to 0$$ Where $i_*A(U) = A(U \cap Y)$. I believe the first two are representable by schemes over S, namely $$C_Y \times A \cup S \times 0$$ and $S \times A$, where we are viewing the finite set $A$ as a scheme over $k$ (and these products are scheme-theoretic products of schemes over $spec \; k$).
In any event, the long exact sequence in sheaf cohomology shows that $$H^1(S; A_{C_Y}) \cong \check H^1(S; A_{C_Y}) \cong A$$ and it is easy to build an explicit C$\check{\text{e}}$ch cocycle using the covering given by the two opens consisting of the subschemes $U_i = S \setminus x_i$, for $i = 1,2$.
Now the problem comes when I try to glue these together to get a representable object over S, i.e. a torsor in the second sense. Then I am looking at the coequalizer of $$C_Y \times A \rightrightarrows (C_Y\cup C_Y) \times A$$ where the first map is the inclusion and the second is the usual inclusion together with addition by a given fixed element $a \in A$. This seems to just gives back the trivial "torsor" $C_Y \times A$.
Am I doing this calculation wrong, or is there really a difference between these two notions of torsor?

The Columbia Parks & Recreation Department is continually identifying opportunities and gathering information for potential park land acquisitions. Community nominations are one of the ways that the Department learns about these opportunities. If you have land for sale or know of available property in the Columbia area that fits the land acquisition needs as outlined in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan (specifically, see the Neighborhood Parks Plan and Trails Plan – links below) or would otherwise be desirable to be preserved as park land or green space, please fill out the Park Site Nomination Form by clicking on the link below. The funding for park land acquisition comes from the voter-approved Park Sales Tax, which is designated solely for the "purpose of providing funding for local parks for the municipality."
Please complete as much of this form as you can, but do not worry if you cannot answer every question. However, the more information you can provide, the easier it will be for staff to identify and evaluate the site. Fields marked with an asterisk* are required. All site nominations go directly to Mike Griggs, Director of Parks and Recreation.
(Refer to plans below to see if your proposed site fills a need identified in the park master plan)

Zookeepers removed a sole surviving sloth bear cub from its mother after the mother ate her other two cubs, the National Zoo announced Thursday.
The surviving cub was one of three born to a sloth bear named Khali on Dec. 29, but she ate her first cub about 20 minutes after birth.
"It is not uncommon for carnivores, including sloth bears, to ingest stillborn cubs, or even live cubs if they or the mother are compromised in some way," the zoo said on its website.
The zoo decided to leave the other two cubs with Khali because she appeared to be attentive, but she ate a second cub about a week later and began to ignore the remaining cub.
At that point, keepers removed the last baby, rushing her to a vet clinic to treat her for a low body temperature and give her antibiotics, vitamins and fluids.
Keepers have been acting as surrogate mothers since then, bottle-feeding her several times a day, carrying her in a baby sling and playing with her to encourage behaviors like climbing.
"Carrying the cub around for hours at a time gave us a unique opportunity to bond with her," said keeper Stacey Tabellario. "We quickly became in-tune with her vocalizations, movements and sleep patterns. With past cubs at this stage, we mostly only viewed them via closed-circuit television, so this has been a great chance to learn more about cub development."
Keepers said the cub will soon begin exploring the indoor dens of the zoo's adult sloth bears while they're outside, and hope to introduce her to the adults, including Khali, over the next few months.

Yes. All of our over-the-range (OTR) microwaves are certified by Underwriters Laboratories for use over a gas range.
Unlike other metal objects, the metal rack included with your microwave is specially designed for safe use. The design takes into account the pattern of microwaves to prevent arching and sparks. For example:
• The plastic spacers which hold the rack in place are engineered to keep it from arching against the microwave's sides.
• The rack's tines and outer edges are engineered to form a fully enclosed object, avoiding the open ends that lead to arching.
No other metal objects, including pans, utensils, etc. are approved for use inside a microwave.
All of our over-the-range (OTR) microwaves are factory preset to vent internally – it will recirculate the air back into the room. However, it can also be converted to vent externally, or outside, if you prefer. If this is your preference, please let the installer know before they begin the initial installation and they will share the option that best suits your installation situation.
Your over-the-range (OTR) microwave, it will come with all the necessary installation hardware. Each of our models comes with a complete set of installation hardware.
If your microwave model has a glass tray or turn table, then follow the instructions printed on the popcorn label and place the bag on the turn table. In some instances, if you have a metal turn table (instead of glass), you do need to set the popcorn bag on a popcorn/bacon plate. This plate will lift the popcorn bag off of the microwave's metal turntable, which can otherwise interfere with the metal contained in the popcorn bag.

The report highlights the trends prevalent in the global intelligent pipeline pigging market and the factors driving the market along with those that act as deterrents to its growth.
Abundant availability of LNG and gradual extinction of fossil fuels due to their unregulated use have fuelled up the demands for LNG globally. Researchers have been looking towards such renewable sources of energy to completely replace the existing use of non-renewable sources. Abundance of LNG makes it one of the ideal sources to be supplied and distributed. More than half of the pipeline infrastructures present globally are being used for the supply and distribution of LNG. The demand for LNG as a source for energy generation has grown considerably in countries across the globe, and is being exported all over the world from the gulf countries and US, via pipelines laid down. As these pipelines transport LNG, pipe health monitoring becomes very critical, and thus operators use pigging products and services.
Request Sample is Available at http://www.theinsightpartners.com/sample/TIPTE100000396
These pipelines become vulnerable to degradation after being used over a period of time, since most of the times they carry highly corrosive substances. Smart pig devices are capable of carrying out advanced inspection activities in addition to the traditional activity of cleaning. The evolution of ILI help operators in maximizing the utilization of process, by aggregating the reliability of non-destructive testing. Apart from this, in order to guarantee safety, the pipeline agencies as well as various regulatory bodies have adopted smart inspection tools. While the pigging sector has made enormous steps in quality inspection technology, it still faces numerous challenges.
Inquire before Buying at http://www.theinsightpartners.com/inquiry/TIPTE100000396

10 Things that should be improved on the Vita
For some of us, the vita has been out for 5 months now. I could talk about how the screen looks great, how I'm happy that Sony put 2 analog controllers on the device, etc… but I'd rather focus on the things that Sony failed to achieve with the PS Vita. In the past 5 months, customers have been patiently waiting for useful firmware update that never came, or simply being updated on some of the promises that have yet to be fulfilled…
So let's have a look at the 10 things I think Sony should have done better with the Vita, or that should have been improved in the past 5 months.
The browser
The browser on the PS Vita is awful. This is Netfront again (an "upgraded" version of the crappy browser they were using on the PSP), a browser that was dedicated to mobile devices (phones) 15 years ago, when phones had very low computing power, screens, and ram. This browser made lots of sense back then, but nowadays, compared to what we have on smartphones such as Android or iPhone, Netfront is an insult (even this new version which has been beefed up to support html5).
Lack of flash, poor refreshing rates, close to no customization… The Vita browser is doing so poorly that I don't think anybody will ever use it to do more than browsing the PSN Store (which is what Sony wants you to do with the browser anyways). Who cares that it's doing 99/100 on the ACID test, if you can't do anything useful with it?
Suggestion: migrate to a proper webkit implementation, or Firefox. Or don't put a browser in the device, at all: don't advertise the console as being an online device, as without a decent browser, this is a lie.
Lack of PS1 games support
The PSP had PS1 support, so the Vita surely has it too, right? Wrong. People have been asking for this feature for a while now, and the request has been ignored by Sony. This is not about "if you want to play ps1 games badly, then just buy a ps1", it's about a significant market share for Sony, of older people who would be ready to pay a reasonable fee in order to re-play old games, on the go.
The average age of the Vita owner would also significantly increase with support for older generation games, and, Sony, trust me, you'd prefer your user base to be around 30 years old than 15. Remember who has money and doesn't mind spending it.
Suggestion: bring PS1 support with the same tool you had on the PSP. Sounds easy enough, and it will increase the average age of your user base, which is something you want for financial reasons.
Poor library of PSP Titles
A few months ago Sony announced the mind blowing amount of 275 titles from the PSP available on the Vita. They promised this number would grow on a weekly basis, and that they would keep us up to date on new titles. This was 9 weeks ago, and we have yet to see an update. With a total of about 900 games and minis on the PSP, it means more than 2/3rds of the PSP library is still missing on the Vita.
Backward compatibility is not complex, the vita has all the functionality that the PSP had, there should be no problem supporting all these games. Especially when we see a game being supported in one country but not in the others (e.g. Motorstorm Arctic Edge was supported in Europe and Japan but not in the US), we know this is not a technical limitation.
Suggestion: keep your promises. Update customers weekly with new supported psp games. Bring psp backward compatibility to 100% within 1 year. 2 months without a single update when you promised there would be weekly updates is *not* acceptable.
Overpriced proprietary memory cards
There's a growing rumor that the memory cards on the vita are actually regular memory sticks with a different plastic case. This is not here to prevent piracy, unlike what Sony claimed a while ago, but to make you buy, once again, a storage card. This is where Sony is making most of their money, and this is how they virtually bump up the price of the console. You thought you were clever by buying a 4GB card? Wait until you have more than 3 games on your console…
Sony could have gone with microSD like anybody else, and still protect their system against piracy with strong encryption. The form factor will just delay competitors who want to sell the same types of product, what matters is the encryption of the files on it. Sony is just trying to make a few quick bucks with a new useless format.
Suggestion: Give up and use the SD format like everybody else, the world will be a better place. Alternatively, be honest about the real reasons for using a "new" format.
Games pricing
I have two complains about the prices of games on the Vita. First, they are, in general, too expensive. The average price is 40$ (50$ in Japan, thanks for the ripoff on conversion, as usual), which, granted, is less than the insane 70$ they ask for a PS3 game, but is still far too much compared to the price people are really willing to pay for games on a portable device (5 to 10$).
Of course, games on the Vita are much more "hardcore" and costly to develop than your typical android indie game, but surely, Sony should be able to find a good balance, and I don't think 40$ is where it should be now. An average of 25$ or 30$ would be closer to a good average in my opinion, especially for a platform that's not doing so good, and for which people will have issues reselling the game afterwards.
This brings me to my second point, the absolute lack of effort on bringing the prices of digital downloads down. How many games on the vita are less expensive to buy on the PSN than for real? Almost none. What is the benefit for the user, except the impossibility to sell the game once they're done with it? Sony *has* to drive the prices of digital downloads down.
Suggestions: digital downloads should always be 25% cheaper than physical purchases. Lower the average price of Vita games by 20%.
content Manager
I've talked a lot about the crappy content manager of the vita. Don't take my word for it, try to transfer your mp3 library to your vita, and compare how much time it would actually take to do the same on your iPhone or your Android. Copying content to a device should be handled by standards set on your computer, and following the GUI you want to use, not one forced on you by the external device. The only company that made that kind of stuff "right" is Apple with iTunes (don't make me say what I didn't say, I perfectly hate the concept behind iTunes), and even for them it took years before iTunes was more than a piece of crapware.
CMA has absolutely no added value, except making you hate Sony every time you try to copy things from and to your vita.
Suggestions: go back to the drawing board. Either provide a real tool for managing content on our memory sticks, or let computers handle it with approved standards.
Accounts switching made so difficult it's a joke
Independently of our reasons, lots of gamers have several accounts on the PSN. It could be, I don't know, that, maybe you are sharing the console with your family? Or that you want to try exclusive Demos available only in Japanese? Or that you happen, like me, to live in a country that's not yours, and like the possibility to play games from either Japan or Europe… anyway, it's obvious that a majority of gamers want to have access to several accounts.
Sony has made switching between those accounts so painful that it's preventing people from doing the most basic things such as sharing the console with your own family. Fighting against piracy, or another evil plot to make more quick bucks, independently of customer satisfaction?
Suggestion: You did it right with the PS3 with a login screen, why would you do it differently on the vita?
Useless/Overpriced 3G version
I don't know anybody who got the 3G version, except when the price was lowered down so much that it basically made no difference to get a 3G or a Wifi model. It is well known that Sony sells their hardware at a loss and try then to make their money back on games. Why didn't they do the same for 3G? Sell it at the same price, and just bring the money back when people buy the (overpriced) prepaid 3G cards.
In the end, it almost sounds as if Sony did 2 different models with the goal of *not* selling the 3G version, from the start. The 3G model of the vita is a failure from the start. Too expensive, too many limitations, all of this for a device that completely sucks at network in general (see my comment about the browser above, or about "it only does gaming" below).
Suggestions: Remove 3g limitations (max download size, etc..). provide 3g in all psp models by default, expect to cut the hardware losses on subscriptions. Alternatively, make the Vita a bit more expensive, and make 3G access free for games-related network: the price of 3G is included in the price of the game, a bit like what Amazon does with Kindle purchases.
Not a real portable device
The PSP Go was a step in the right direction for portability. It is, to date, the only "portable" device I can actually slip in my pocket and almost forget about it. The Vita has a nice screen, but is a bit too big… big enough that I am not carrying it with me when I go out. Big enough that it has been collecting dust on my desk for a few weeks now. The quite low battery life, as well as the two big nubs on the analog controllers don't really help.
I know, we all want a big screen… and I love the screen on the vita… I just think it makes the vita a not-so-portable device… which is another coffin in the nail of the 3G version (see above)
It only does gaming
For the PSP, the PS3, and the Vita, Sony has claimed to be offering more than a gaming device, but more of a multimedia experience. To me, this has been an awful failure on all 3 devices.
The lack of non gaming applications, the poor quality of the browser on all three devices (see above), the lack of good video codecs support, pdf/ebook reader… except for a few promising efforts to bring video services (US only, of course) with Netflix or Amazon video on the PS3, Sony consoles are really behind even 10 year-old computers in terms of multimedia. Yes, the ps3 is 5 years old, but there's no excuse for the Vita. My 2 years old Android does everything (that's not gaming related) better than the Vita.
Suggestions: don't spend time making a sub-par facebook app, an unusable mp3 player, or trying to even put a webbrowser on the device, if you don't have actual plans to make this a multimedia device.
It seems to me the vita is taking the exact same path as the PSP. It is advertised as a multimedia device for grown ups, but fails at basically everything that's not gaming. This wouldn't be a problem if Sony wasn't trying to convince us so hard of the opposite.
It's even more a shame, if you think that Sony is today the only company in the world that owns a piece of each element of what would make an awesome multimedia ecosystem (movies production / distribution / hardware / software / software distribution platform / gigantic user base), to realize that they fail at putting all of these into some form of customer friendly symbiosis.
This is not helped by some of the obvious tricks Sony are using to make a few quick additional bucks (proprietary memory cards, account switching made painful, poorly designed software…), which shows they are not planning at building a happy customer base in the long term. Other elements such as the poor PSP/PS1 support show that backward compatibility was a lure to bring people from the PSP to the Vita, but that Sony has no real plan to support backwards compatibility.
How about you, what would you like to see improved/changed on the PS Vita?

Process Lab:Oxidation
Integrated Circuit Fabrication Process Simulation
Version 1.1 - published on 30 Oct 2019
doi:10.21981/18BY-KY85 cite this
This tool is closed source.
Published on
The oxidation process is one of the most important processes in VLSI fabrication. It is implemented in processes such as the gate dielectric growth, the quality of which is extremely important for the scaling and performance of today's integrated circuit technology. This simulation tool integrates both the classic Deal-Grove's model and Massoud's model, which both describe the oxidation growth process. The tool gives users the freedom to adjust critical parameters and conditions in the process, such as oxidant condition, time, initial oxide thickness, temperature, pressure, crystal orientation, as well as an opportunity to choose between the Deal-Grove's or Massoud's model, or a combination of both.
An oxide thickness versus time figure is plotted almost instantaneously after the users specify the necessary parameters and conditions. The oxidation process is simulated after one click on the web interface, while all the complicated details and equation-solving procedures are hidden behind the scene. The interactive interface of the module and its simplicity of usage demonstrates the module's educational value in that it helps students and engineers build intuition into the oxidation process with minimum learning curve. Insightful comparison, such as one between thin and thick oxide growth, can be done easily. Moreover, the module can be used as a handy and efficient "oxidation calculator".

Now where have I heard that moniker before?
The article below says the Big Bad Bruins of the early 1970s were hated for being big and bad, the Broad Street Bullies of the mid-70s were hated for being bullies, and a decade ago the Leaves were hated for playing dirty AND diving/embellishing AND whining (notably Tucker, Domi, Corson, Belfour, McCabe, Roberts). The Leaves of course have also been hated long & hard, far & wide for being coddled by the CBC. I dug up this article from 9 years ago because it rang a bell when I heard "The most Hated Team in Hockey". It starts with the aforementioned dirtiness/diving/whining and ends with THE CODDLING:
Note the Leaves were hated by everyone BUT the CBC (and other eastern media).http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/ ... /index.htm
"Why everyone hates the Leaves"
The Maple Leaves are clearly favored by CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, which is even more profoundly consecrated as Saturday evening viewing in Canada than Friends and Seinfeld were on Thursday evenings for couch potatoes in the U.S. This season Hockey Night, probably the second most important institution in the sport besides the Stanley Cup, will air 27 games involving Toronto, 12 more than the Edmonton Oilers, the next most televised team. Maple Leaves telecasts have the No. 1 announcing team of Bob Cole and Harry Neale and the fervent good wishes of Don Cherry, who regularly trumpets his support for Toronto on his wildly popular Coach's Corner segment after the first period. Since 1989-90, the 10 top-rated Saturday night games and eight of the top 10 playoff matches have featured the Leaves even though they never reached a Cup final over that span.
"I remember watching the first three or four games of the Leaves-Kings semifinals on TV in New York in 1993," says James Patrick, a Sabres defenseman who played with the Rangers from '83-84 through '93-94. "It was a pretty good series. Dougie Gilmour was in his prime, going up against Wayne Gretzky. I had no preference. Then I went home to Winnipeg and caught the end of the series and was blown away by the biased coverage. Hockey Night wanted Toronto to win so badly, I instantly became the world's biggest Kings fan."
The crush of attention, and occasional fawning, have created a predictable backlash.
In the corners and in the crease of NHL rinks outside Toronto, the most hated team in hockey is Sundin and a bunch of mother Tuckers.
CBC's Leaf-loving ways have been long documented. As have the complaints to CBC from westerners. These complaints are directly responsible for, as of 2008, CBC being limited in the number of times it can show each Canadian team during the regular-season.... as well as CBC broadcasters being instructed to show less favoritism.
Westerners have to a lesser extent fired the same kind of complaints to TSN & Sportsnet.
I'm thinking alotta these eastern broadcasters are offended by we westerners and our meddling over the years. I'm thinking they are branding us the "Most Hated Team in Hockey" out of... SPITE! Because friends, we certainly don't deserve it... hey compare our sins to those of the three teams listed above!
Yep they hate us and they are out to get us....
Now Don Cherry has at times in the past displayed extremely anti-Canadien and anti-Senator tenancies. But he has ALWAYS been anti-Canuck. Oh these days he tries to hide it somewhat at least by throwing out the odd compliment to guys like "BE-ESKA" and "LALA-ONGO", but hopefully most folks realize he's just doing a little appeasing so he doesn't get booed on his rare west-coast swings . It came to a head years ago when Canuck GM Pat Quinn was threatening to punch his lights out for his blatant anti-Canuck rhetoric (mostly centered on untruths regarding Pavel Bure at the time). Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems every playoff series the Canucks have ever played: There was Cherry, routing for the opposition!
Ron MacLean's hatchet-job on Burrows a while back was refreshing in that his inner hatred for all things Canuck finally bubbled to the surface. MacLean hides his bias better than most imo because he usually doesn't have the stones to be honest. Now you the reader may choose to lable that "professionalism" to which I just lofl. We're talking about a guy who was willing to overlook the antics of Tucker, Domi, Corson, Belfour, McCabe, Roberts etc FOR YEARS!
Why do broadcasters Cherry & MacLean and previously Hairy Kneel & Cole have no qualms about pretending to be Leaf fans but would never ever allow themselves to appear the least bit pro-any-other-Canadian-team?? Location, location, location? Oh and guys like Scott Oake:
I'll never forget him going after Alfredsson in a post-game interview after the Sens defeated the Leaves in a playoff game. Alffy is all happy, being congratulated by others for scoring the last-second game-winner... Oake marches up, sticks a mike in his face and ANGRILY asks: "DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN PENALIZED FOR INTERFERENCE JUST BEFORE YOU SCORED THAT GOAL??!!... omg the 'what kind of nutjob??' look on Alffy's face was priceless! Then of course the 4 broadcasters above proceeded to harp on the penalty that should've been whilst playing slo-mo after slo-mo til the end of the broadcast. Trust me guys, there was no penalty on that play. Not even close.
Michael Milbury with his "Thelma & Louise" & "biting-Burrows" nonsense...
P.J. Stock never has anything good to say about a Canuck...
Greg Millen (still around?) hates Canucks/loves Flames. His website made that clear btw...
The there's Tim Warnsby: "As disliked as the Canucks have become in this playoff run for their embellishment antics to the Alexandre Burrows biting incident to Aaron Rome's late hit, the Boston Bruins goalie continues to be a likable character."
Oh yes, CBC hates us!!
Hey, they took Hughson away from us didn't they??
I mean C'MON they stuck us with Lee, Weekes, and Oake FFS!
Consider it a conspiracy theory if you will....
And did y'all catch the TSN quiz on Wednesday?
The question: "Are the Canucks the most hated team in hockey?"
Bob McKenzie: "There's no question about it. Well deserved reputation although the funny thing is Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows used to be a lot more like Heckle and Jeckle and they've really calmed their act down a little bit and even Kevin Bieksa has toned things down. But you know what they say about the reputation, and I guess if you bite someone's fingers (allegedly), you're going to have that reputation."
Aaron Ward: "I agree. You've got two crafty instigators in Kesler and Burrows and you add in Maxim Lapierre – one of the most hated guys in the league – and then you have a guy that rubs guys the wrong way in Bieksa with his cool-breeze attitude, so yes."
Easterner Ward catches on quick. But ole McKenzie has always been a closet Canuck-hater imo. That (allegedly) was thrown in from the sidelines by Duthie. Really Bob? "Heckle and Jeckle"?? "EVEN Kevin Bieksa"?? "Well deserved reputation of "The Most Hated Team in Hockey"??? And fuck BOB, you haven't heard the dozens of NHLers (including Yzerman) who came forward to say every hockey player bites a glove at some point?? You missed that?
I always sensed the Canuck-hate in McKenzie, he's pretty good at hiding it though. But I remember when the Bertuzzi incident first occurred. Fans, media, and Gms from all corners of the NHL were wondering if Bert would get a coupla games/weeks suspension (I'm talking real early on after the hit). Everyone was kinda shocked when McKenzie immediately pushed for "the regular season and all of the playoffs and then who knows what." I mean we found out later how serious the injury was (which of course TOTALLY affected the length of suspension) but ouch Bob!
Anyway, for wotever reason its here to stay so Strangelove says LEARN TO LOVE THE HATE!

SONAX at the Bike Show Eurobike 2017
On 30th August 2017, the Eurobike 2017 trade fair in Friedrichshafen opens its doors. As one of the leading bicycle trade fairs, with more than 1,350 exhibitors from around 50 countries, according to the organisers figures, the Eurobike is set to break all records. In this top-class environment SONAX will be presenting for the first time the modernised and extended BIKE care range, which also fulfills the special requirements for the cleaning and maintenance of e-bikes. The SONAX stand is located in Hall A3 (stand 705).
A faithful fanbase of leisure cyclists, e-bikers, touring bikers, mountain and racing bike riders have enjoyed the SONAX bike care products for many years. Now SONAX has expanded the range, optimised its effectiveness and modernised the design.
Completely new to the programme is the SONAX BIKE Cleaning and Care Cloth for quick and easy bicycle cleaning. The moist microfibre cloths which are impregnated with a highly effective cleaning and care emulsion are absolutely ideal between cleanings for removing light soiling on the frame, wheel rims, spokes and all attachment parts – even when it comes to e-bike maintenance. The SONAX BIKE Cleaner thoroughly goes to work on the typical dirt contamination on all types of bicycle - e-bikes too. The programme is rounded off with the SONAX BIKE Special Oil, the SONAX BIKE Silicone Chain Care Oil ultra, the SONAX BIKE Chain Spray, as well as the SONAX E-BIKE Chain Spray. And to conclude the maintenance session the SONAX BIKE Spray Wax goes into action.
Various accessory articles from the existing programme, for example the SONAX Microfibre Wash Mitt or the SONAX Microfibre Drying cloth, simplify the cleaning and ensure perfect care results.

You Are What You Eat
Happy Waffle Wednesday??
Waffles are on the breakfast menu here at the Moncton Hospital. I couldn't help myself, I had to order it. I can't say I was surprised when one, un-toasted, cold, soggy freezer waffle showed up. Actually, it's exactly what I was expecting.
The breakfasts here actually aren't all bad. I can usually get away with a boiled egg, a piece of fruit, and a bowl of plain hot cereal. I can make do with that!
Fret not, I ate this instead of the soggy waffle. Cream of wheat with PB&J. Natural PB that my family brought, and not the hydrogenated kind stocked in the kitchen.
For the most part, what I do is eat what's edible on the plate and I supplement with my extra fruit, veggies or protein.
Baked potatoes, apple pork, frozen vegetable mix. An example of an edible meal.
Often, I'll take bits and pieces and make a salad out of it.
The above has ham, mandarin and a cucumber salad that came on the plate which I mixed with my own greens and peppers. Although, I don't always have the appetite for raw veggies. They're hard to digest and some days all I can stomach is toast. I know, hard to believe that my appetite is affected! I find the drugs make some things taste weird too, and the doctor says eating calories is more important than being picky about my calories. So some days, toast it is.
Or, after surgery on Tuesday, a liquid supper.
After having a scope shoved down my chest and an oxygen tube down my throat, I was perfectly happy with some broth, jello and popsicles.
Although, sister Sara still made me some special watermelon juice with basil and mint.
With all that said, some days, I get food that is truly appalling. Tuesday's dinner for example featured mystery fish cakes with a black hair cooked inside.
I kid you not. I couldn't come up with something more disgusting if I tried.
Food is of course subject to change. I'll eventually meet with an oncology nutritionist and find out what sort of restrictions I will have while on chemotherapy.
Apart from the bad hospital food, I do have some good news! My bone marrow biopsy came back clear, which is a HUGE relief. Lymphoma and leukemia are closely related and it's not uncommon to have both. I am SO relieved I don't have to worry about leukemia on top of the lymphoma.
The other news is that the special PET scan I had out of town showed that the mass is isolated to my upper chest, shoulder area, and bottom of my throat. Which means we're looking at Stage 2 cancer. Chemo for lymphoma is notoriously potent, but knowing that it's not at an advanced stage relieves a little of the worry about that for me.
Still healing from Monday's surgery. Word on the street is that I may get my formal diagnosis from the most recent samples as soon as Friday. It hurts to talk, swallow, and hold my head up. But figuratively, I like to think I'm still holding it up. Hoping I won't end up with a gnarly scar on my throat, but people tell me these types of things are the least of my problems. It's just a flesh wound I guess.

What is the Eric Twiname Trust?
The Trust was set up in an informal way in 1980 by Eric's father Alec, in order to perpetuate Eric's memory and to enable his many and diverse sailing interests to continue. At first the Trust responded to calls for funding from many areas, including round the world yachtsmen, disabled sailors and Olympic campaigns, Alec paying the grants out of his own pocket.
However, a more formal approach emerged with the formation in 1991 of a Charitable Trust, with the concentration on youth sailing, and especially on racing. Alec Twiname settled an amount of capital to the Trust, which was invested to provide a steady annual income. Since 1980 the Trust has provided over £1,500,000 for deserving causes.
Alec died in 1996 and his widow, Hazel, now heads the Trust as its Patron. The finances of the Trust and the designation of funds are run by a small team of Trustees, most of whom are keen sailors, and all good friends of the Twiname family. Overheads are minimal and the income from the capital is always put to optimum effect. Additional revenue is derived from fundraising events (such as talks given by the Trustees) and private donations.

Department of Justice
For Immediate Release
Baltimore Cocaine Dealer Exiled to 10 Years in Prison
Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge George L. Russell, III sentenced Gerod Boyd, age 30, of Middle River, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Acting Special Agent in Charge William P. McMullan of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Commissioner Anthony W. Batts of the Baltimore Police Department; and Baltimore City State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein.
According to Boyd's plea agreement, on June 25, 2013, Baltimore City police officers were executing a search warrant at a home in the 5700 block of Eastbury Avenue in Baltimore. Boyd was arrested prior to the execution of the search warrant and had the key to the residence in his hand when he was taken into custody. Located inside the residence was a loaded .38 Special revolver, which Boyd admitted belonged to him. Boyd advised that a .357 revolver with an obliterated serial number, recovered during another search that day from his residence in Middle River was also his firearm.
Investigation revealed that Boyd ran a cocaine distribution network in the 600 block of North Kenwood Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. Specifically, Boyd used the residence in the 5700 block of Eastbury Avenue and other locations, including a home in the 600 block of North Kenwood Avenue, to store items related to the drug distribution operation. On June 25, 2013, law enforcement officers also executed a search warrant at the home on North Kenwood Avenue and recovered four ounces of cocaine from inside that residence. Recovered near the cocaine was a black bag containing packaging material for street level distribution of drugs, a digital scale, and a razor blade.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the ATF, Baltimore Police Department and Baltimore City State's Attorney?s Office for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney Bonnie S. Greenberg, who prosecuted the case.

I do not remember where I found it but if you have the same problem, the script is the following:
# make a list of file names, perhaps like this:
f <-list.files(pattern = ".asc")
# turn these into a list of RasterLayer objects
r <- lapply(f, raster)
# as you have the arguments as a list call 'merge' with 'do.call'
x <- do.call("merge",r)
#Write Ascii Grid
It is a simple and yet very affective script.
To use this script you need to put all the .asc grids into the working directory, the script will take all the file with extension .asc in the folder, turn them into raster layers and then merge them together and save the combined file.
if there are other file with ".asc" in their name, the function
list.files(pattern = ".asc")
will consider them and it may create errors later on. For example, if you are using ArcGIS to visualize your file, it will create pyramids files that will have the same exact name of the ASCII grid and another extension.
I need to delete these file and keep only the original .asc for this script and the following to work properly.
A problem I found with this script is that if the raster grids are not properly aligned it will not work.
The function merge from the raster package has a work around for this eventuality; using the option tolerance, it is possible to merge two grids that are not aligned.
This morning, for example, I had to merge several ASCII grids in order to form the DTM shown below:
The standard script will not work in this case, so I created a loop to use the tolerance option.
This is the whole script to use in with non-aligned grids:
# make a list of file names, perhaps like this:
f <-list.files(pattern = ".asc")
# turn these into a list of RasterLayer objects
r <- lapply(f, raster)
##Approach to follow when the asc files are not aligned
for(i in 2:length(r)){
#Write Ascii Grid
The loop merge the first ASCII grid with all the other iteratively, re-saving the first grid with the newly created one. This way I was able to create the DTM in the image above.

The Epiphone PRO-1 Ultra Acoustic Guitar Ebony is a 6-string acoustic guitar featuring a spruce top, a mahogany body and neck, a rosewood fretboard and bridge, and comes in an ebony finish. The PRO-1 Ultra is ready for live performances at any time as it is equipped with a Shadow Performer preamp and NanoFlex pickup. The PRO-1 Ultra also comes with a solid spruce top to deliver a superior sound with a 5-layer ivory and black binding. The EZ-Profile neck is designed so your hand can easily form chords without feeling fatigued.
Epiphone JumboPRO frets make fretting notes and chords easy as they are taller and wider than smaller frets. The PRO-1's scale length is almost 1" shorter than most acoustic guitars, meaning that the strings are under less tension. This means you do not have to press hard to get good tone. The PRO-Ease string and fingerboard coating provides a sleek, smooth action with a reduced string noise. Epiphone's Dual-Action truss rod allows any player to adjust the neck in both directions, which keeps the neck stable and makes set-up easier and more precise.
The main features of the Epiphone PRO-1 Ultra Acoustic Guitar Ebony include:

text: Envisioning Churches THEMESCHURCH AND COMMUNITYENVISIONING CHURCHES Envisioning and equipping church leaders to lead their congregations and denominations in integral mission is the first step to bring about whole-life change in their church and community. The first step in the process of church and community transformation is to envision churches with God's vision of a transformed community (Isaiah 65) and to show God's purpose for the church in partnering with him to realise this vision of whole-life transformation. OUR APPROACH Once the church and its leadership are envisioned for integral mission, they should naturally want to act and respond to the needs of the communities around them. How the church and community respond to the needs identified will vary. Churches and communities will identify and prioritise their needs and then together they will search for solutions that are appropriate to their contexts, seeking technical help where needed. Responses may include: establishing self-help groups, improving infrastructure, advocating for improvement of or access to services or changes to unjust laws, projects to improve livelihoods. Engaging Church Leadership Church leadership is important. Church leaders can either enable or prevent the process of mobilising their church. When envisioned the Church leaders can release their congregation's potential so the Body can minister to one another and to the community. Church leaders are often respected within their communities and have the potential for great influence. They often act as role models within their communities. Working together with other church leaders in the community can be one way of displaying unity and love. The strength of church denominations and local church congregations is greatly affected by the strength of the leadership. For example, it is difficult to change a church's attitudes to issues like HIV and gender unless the leaders themselves are committed to such change. Working with denominations The process of envisioning can be applied to a single church, a group of churches or a whole denomination. The latter requires a slightly different approach as it will involve significant organisational change that re-orientates its vision and structure around integral mission. This empowers each local church congregation within the denomination to take action to address community needs. Working through whole denominations allows for a large number of churches to be mobilised quickly where there is strong support and buy-in from senior denominational leaders. resources on envisioning the church Envisioning for integral mission Tearfund understands integral mission as living out our faith in all areas of life.

Castro taking things slow with right knee
SEATTLE -- All-Star catcher Jason Castro was held out of any baseball-related drills once again Wednesday as he gives his ailing right knee more time to heal. Castro said he most likely came back too soon after having a cyst drained in his knee last week.
Castro, who aggravated a cyst Sept. 1, has not caught since, though he did start at designated hitter Friday and Saturday in Oakland. Wednesday marked his fourth consecutive game out of the lineup.
"We're going to give it four to five days to completely let it rest and calm down, and we're going to start introducing things and re-evaluating it at that point," said Castro, who is hitting .276 with 18 homers and 56 RBIs.
Castro said he would not categorize what he was going through as a setback.
"I felt OK the first day [Friday], and then it was kind of a little bit sore the second day [Saturday]," he said. "I don't think it was ready to get back into it as soon as we started. We just kind of backed off and let it completely calm down, and we'll get back at it instead of trying to push it."
Meanwhile, starting left fielder Robbie Grossman missed his eighth consecutive game Wednesday because of a strained right oblique. Grossman has yet to even start swinging a bat, so he is not expected to return any time soon.

In mathematics, there is an unwritten rule that one is not supposed to write his or her own name (using initials or "the author" if necessary) or attach his or her own name to something (e.g., to have something named after you, someone else should first call it that).
A few questions:
First, is this rule, in some form, in fact written down somewhere? If so, where?
Second, what circumstances, if any, is it appropriate to use your own name?
Lastly, does the rule extend to other people referring to the originator of an idea and the idea? For example, is it appropriate to say "X proved the X Theorem."? Or does this make it seem as though (to a small degree) that X broke the unwritten rule? While less explicit, would it be preferred to say "X proved his/her theorem regarding Y on Z."?
I apologize for the "soft" question, but the discussion and answers are certainly appreciated.

Jenny Craig Celebrates Second Year of Relationship with American Heart Association
Expands on a New Creative Campaign to Reinforce Real Weight Loss
The clinically-proven program will celebrate its clients' success while continuing to work with the American Heart Association in 2013 to fight the nation's obesity epidemic and reduce the risk for heart disease
Carlsbad, Calif. — (December 26, 2012) — Jenny Craig, one of the world's leading weight loss companies, announced today a continued relationship with the American Heart Association (AHA) to get Americans healthy and active, as well as efforts to celebrate its clients' success on the program through programs and their creative campaign.
In 2012, Jenny Craig embraced a new relationship with the American Heart Association to support its mission to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent by 2020.
In support of the American Heart Association's healthy living initiative My Heart. My Life.™, Jenny Craig launched My Heart. My Life.™ My Jenny,which encouraged Americans to join Team Jenny at more than 300 AHA Heart Walks across the country, offered tip cards with healthy recipes, free training plans and highlighted the American Heart Associations' free Walking Clubs, Walking Paths and other resources to help people eat healthier and stay physically active. Jenny Craig also promoted the AHA's annual Lifestyle Change Awards at the Heart Walks, by honoring individuals who lost weight.
"We applaud Jenny Craig's extensive efforts to promote the My Heart. My Life.™healthy livinginitiative, by highlighting the benefits of walking and encouraging the public to participate in the Heart Walks to improve their heart health," said Donna Arnett, Ph. D., American Heart Association President. "In 2012, more than 1.2 million people across the nation put on their walking shoes at our Heart Walks, and subsequently raised more than 100 million dollars, which goes directly to fund the mission. We look forward to continuing to work with Jenny Craig to get Americans healthier."
Starting in the New Year, Jenny Craig will continue to support the My Heart. My Life.™ healthy livinginitiativeand expand on its participation in the Heart Walks by encouraging more Americans to participate in the American Heart Association's National Walking Day (April 3, 2013). On this day, people are encouraged to wear sneakers to work and take at least 30 minutes out of their day to get up and walk in hopes of helping them make a healthy habit of walking several times a week to manage a healthier weight.
The brand will also build on its creative campaign by highlighting real successes among its clients through various marketing channels throughout the year. Jennifer Torrance, 41, wife and mother of five, lost 22 lbs.* on the program, and is currently featured in a national Jenny Craig commercial.
Torrance found that Jenny Craig provided a guideline for portion control, and taught her how to cook healthier meals for her family. "My consultant Susan taught me that I could lose weight and satisfy my appetite by filling my plate with vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean protein," said Torrance. "When I make fajitas, we load up on the veggies (bring on the bell peppers!). My kids now eat vegetables. Carrots or strawberries are now the favored snack by my kids instead of potato chips," continued Torrance. "Because we are all eating the same, healthy foods, I'm no longer a short-order cook who makes separate meals for the adults and the children. I not only save time in the kitchen, but I also save on my monthly food budget and we've all made a family commitment to stay active in fun ways."
"We will continue to fight the growing obesity epidemic and the weight-related diseases that go along with it, and are committed to enacting change through realistic means," said Dana Fiser, Global CEO of Jenny Craig. "Now, going into the New Year, we are offering clients more opportunities for Jenny Craig to fit into their daily lives. From hitting the pavement at the Heart Walks, to teaching better eating behaviors and encouraging activity as a daily habit, we hope to inspire more people to reduce their risk for heart disease and live a healthier life."
The brand hopes to shed light on the health benefits from losing weight. In fact, Jenny Craig clients lose three times more weight than dieting on their own**. In 2010, an independent two-year clinical trial was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that showed that participants, on average, lost 10% of their body weight in the first year. Ultimately, 92% of participants stuck with the Jenny Craig program for two years. Participants also saw improvements in blood cholesterol levels and cardiopulmonary fitness, as well an overall improvement in quality of life. Those results demonstrate how Jenny Craig's tools, education and personalized counseling provided to each client help them to not only stayed with the program and realize meaningful weight loss, but help them achieve a variety of health benefits.

Bangkok Hotels
Bangkok Hotel
Our Bangkok accommodation is the perfect base to experience all the city's colour and culture. Thailand was never colonised and thus kept its unique culture and heritage intact and this is especially evident at the city's 400 Buddhist temples. There are three principal temples in Bangkok, Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Ratchapradit and Wat Mahathat. However, it is worth taking a trip outside the main city to visit Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, located on opposite banks of the Chao Phraya River, at Thon Buri. Wat Arun, also known as the Temple of the Dawn, contains five prangs, or towers, covered in thousands of pieces of multicoloured Chinese porcelain. The Grand Palace is not to be missed and the complex also contains the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
Bangkok is surely a shopper's paradise, and our Bangkok accommodation is the perfect base for all your shopping adventures. While Bangkok department stores have fixed prices, most shops and market stalls expect customers to barter and depending on your skill and the shopkeeper's mood, prices can be reduced 10 to 40 percent. When bartering keep in mind that Thais admire good manners and a sense of humour. If you are after a bargain and want to experience the local colour of a Bangkok market visit the Chatuchak Weekend Markets open every Saturday and Sunday, with 9000 stalls selling everything from handicrafts and traditional Thai musical instruments to clothing and shoes.

Goldman Sachs paid CEO Blankfein $19.9 million
NEW YORK >> Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein's total compensation rose by almost 50 percent to $19.9 million last year, boosted by the value of his stock awards.
The value of Blankfein's stock awards more than doubled from $5.3 million to $11.3 million. Goldman's stock rose 39 percent in 2013 as the bank's profits climbed. The executive's cash bonus also increased, climbing 11 percent to $6.3 million.
Blankfein has been chairman and CEO since 2006, and has spent more than 30 years at Goldman. His base salary remained unchanged at $2 million from a year earlier. The bank's earnings rose about 9 percent last year as its investment banking revenues improved.
He also received $323,759 in other compensation, including $43,804 for a car and driver, according to a regulatory filing the bank made Friday.
The Associated Press formula calculates an executive's total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest that the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP formula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The value that a company assigned to an executive's stock and option awards was the present value of what the company expected the awards to be worth to the executive over time. Companies use one of several formulas to calculate that value. However, the number is just an estimate, and what an executive ultimately receives will depend on the performance of the company's stock in the years after the awards are granted. Most stock compensation programs require an executive to wait a specified amount of time to receive shares or exercise options.
