Where Was the Outrage Over Texas's Sonogram Law?
Pro-choice advocates around the country cheered Wednesday, as Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell withdrew support for a pre-abortion sonogram bill. The bill had risen to national attention, even earning a spot on The Daily Show. Critics focused on a particularly disturbing detail of the measure—most women having abortions have them early in the pregnancy, too early for the usual "jelly on the belly" ultrasound. So the bill mandated transvaginal sonograms, in which a probe would be stuck inside a woman's vagina and she would be offered a chance to see the fetus before she could terminate the pregnancy. "During the entire wand-forcibly-inserted-in-your-most-private-area experience, you still have complete and total control over which way your head is turned," The Daily Show's Jon Stewart told his guests. The focus from national media, social media, and bloggers all likely helped to force McDonnell into changing his position.
At the same time many protested the Virginia effort, Texas this month began implementing its version of the sonogram bill. In the Lone Star State, transvaginal sonograms are already a reality. (For a comparison of the bills, see my write-up here.) In examining the pro-choice victory, it's worth noting that around this time last year, the very similar bill sped through the Texas Legislature, and the chorus of liberal voices around the country—so loud this week—were a whole lot quieter.
Of course activists and those focused on pro-choice issues paid attention to the Lone Star measure and sounded warning bells. But why didn't the Texas fight, either when the bill was passed last year or implemented this month, receive the level of national attention that Virginia did over the past couple weeks?
Texas Democrats, after all, did their best to put up a fight and make a good show for the media covering the legislative debate. One delegate stood armed with a vaginal probe, trying to detail just how invasive the procedure would be. Despite being outnumbered two-to-one in the Texas House, Democrats threw a slew of points of order at the measure until one finally delayed the bill. When everyone returned to restart the debate, Democrats came up with amendment after amendment, including an attention-getter that allowed an unmarried woman who decided against an abortion to get a court order requiring the man who get her pregnant to undergo a vasectomy (assuming he had fathered at least two other children out of wedlock with different women.) On its second time around, the Texas House debated the measure for seven hours. It ultimately passed and eventually then was signed by Governor Rick Perry in a big ceremony. Perry had given the bill priority status during the session by naming it an emergency item.
Despite their efforts, state Democrats hardly got much national attention. When I searched for "Texas sonograms" while the Texas Legislature was in session last year, the publications database Lexis Nexis returned more than 400 articles. But almost all of them were from state newspapers or the Associated Press. Hardly a scientific study, but illustrative nonetheless. And let's not forget, the Texas governor who pushed the measure spent months running for president. His track record on transvaginal sonograms barely came up.
On the other extreme are pockets of severe disengagement. Border communities and poor, minority neighborhoods in big cities have especially low registration and turnout rates. Six of the seven precincts in Presidio County—one of the poorest counties in the nation—had fewer than half of the registered voters come to the polls in 2008. One barely topped 23 percent.Even in Travis County, which frequently posts the highest urban turnout in the state, there is a stark contrast. The more affluent sectors of Austin largely vote, and the historically black and brown East Side largely don't.

The outrage is building, a lot it being organized on Facebook. Several groups, some of them already organized nationally and with state chapters, have formed They're working on plans for demonstrations, lobbying, media campaigns, public education campaigns.
My opinion: The outrage has taken awhile to build because (a) a lot of people didn't know about the sonogram, (b) others didn't understand its full implications, and (c) women's rights are under such broad assault, people are still deciding what aspects to work on.

Then SHOW UP - PROTEST, VOTE! I agree with all your points about the law, but c'mon! You can't expect the rest of the country to come in and do what you won't do for yourselves. In Virginia, the people mobilized. And Wisconsin, Indiana.... The news media would be ALL OVER demonstrations in Texas! Try having some, and the rest of the nation will have your back. I wish you luck!

The transvaginal issue. Imagine if you will the impact it would have on your raped daughter, wife, sister.....trying to minimize the trauma to the rest of her life by not having the rapists baby, only to be raped again by Texas law. This is not some dinky little camera on a wand. This is a ten-inch plastic stick that is very uncomfortable, painful for some women....being manuvered around by some stranger (usually male) till he sees whatever he thinks are enough images to show the female. All the while, she is being forced to listen to some diatribe about consequences of having an abortion. Does that sound "for our own good" to you? I apologize for the graphic description, but it is what it is.

This bill passed both the TX Senate & House with not much opposition from anyone. Residents were aware it was being debated and a number of folks didn't like the super-invasive aspect of it, but Gv Perry loved it. He was pushing hard for this to pass and it did in a heavily Republican state where the Repubs control both houses of the Leg. Gv Perry signed off on it with no delays at his end.

Thank goodness for these other states putting this in the forefront of the news. And, being able to find a Democratic Texas website that talks about something besides money.
For my part, I did not know about this. I am apparently naive enough to think these types of issues are voted on by the residents, not just an introduced bill pushed thru by the reps of our state. We had the option to vote on the immunization that Perry tried to force on our daughters. I believe the fact that we are a very large state with a heavy reliance on small local newspapers to give us our detailed news aids Perry to run us any way he wants. The heavy Republican blanket covers so many of of our news sources, the Democrat or independent voter has to scrounge for every piece of full-story news it can. I agree with the writer that in such a state, it is easy to just throw up your hands and say 'nothing I can do"! Well, I am not such a person. I will find out what steps can be taken now to push this "law" back to the middle ages where it belongs. I intend to begin the "write your rep" and look for the demonstrations and show up. Write the letter to the editor of any paper I can reach, and let the women of Texas know what's going on. Perry made another complete blunder by assuming the women of this state are going to allow this to remain in force once he quietly shoved it thru.

The best Asian restaurants on Long Island: Eat here now
The world's largest continent has been very good to Long Island -- at least when it comes to restaurants. Yet out of the vast array of Asian restaurants populating the LI dining scene, only a handful have stayed true to national and regional culinary traditions. Or excelled when representing more than one country at a time. Those best few are represented by these 10 restaurants, listed alphabetically. They serve, respectively, the food of China, Thailand, India and Vietnam.
Fortune Wheel(Credit: Nicole Horton)
Fortune Wheel, Levittown: Nearly hidden away in the Nassau Mall, this bastion of authentic Hong Kong-style cuisine is hopping on weekends, when dim sum lovers converge for shumai, lotus-wrapped sticky rice and steamed roast pork buns. At dinner, you'll also find dumplings on the menu, along with a compelling roster of regional specialties and casseroles. (Pictured: walnut shrimp.)

Frankly Thai(Credit: Uli Seit)
Frankly Thai, Franklin Square: Frankie Perrone fell in love with Jintana Lauchalermsuk after first tasting her pad Thai. Now, the married couple co-owns this lovely Thai restaurant, with Perrone as host and Lauchalermsuk in the kitchen. In addition to Lauchalermsuk's legendary pad Thai, you'll want to have her duck salad, curry puffs, nuanced pineapple shrimp curry and knowingly spiced drunken noodles. Usually, once a year, the entire crew heads to Thailand for a month, returning with new dishes. (Pictured: mango shrimp curry.)
Dishes at Frankly Thai in Franklin Square include, clockwise from left, shrimp pad Thai, Thai zeppoli, duck salad and mango curry with shrimp.
House of Dosas(Credit: Jeremy Bales)
House of Dosas, Hicksville: The vegetarian fare at this rightly popular Southern Indian restaurant draws crowds from all over Long Island. Big, vibrant flavors and quality ingredients are the reasons why. Go for the namesake dosas -- potato and/or vegetable-stuffed rice and lentil or semolina crepes. Other hits include uttapam (pictured), dosa batter with a vegetable filling baked right in, and bhel puri, a popular street snack made with puffed rice, onion and chili.

Monsoon(Credit: Newsday / Doug Young)
Monsoon, Babylon: Monsoon is grand enough in ambition and style to fill a converted Bank of Babylon building. Start with one of the house's creative cocktails. Chef Michael Wilson takes care of the rest, with Long Island's finest Beijing duck (pictured); steamed pork buns; crisp pork belly; "shaking beef" with shishito peppers; caramel pork with shallots and garlic; and a knockout, seaside spin on a Chinese favorite, kung pao monkfish.

New Chilli & Curry Restaurant(Credit: Barbara Alper)
New Chilli ...amp; Curry, Hicksville: A line often trails out the door of this welcoming little spot serving up the flavors of Tibet, China, India and Thailand. While authenticity counts, you can also request dishes spiced as hot or mild as you like. Among standouts: chili-garlic noodles, goat pasanda, and biryani with lamb, chicken and shrimp (pictured).

The Orient(Credit: Newsday / Rebecca Cooney)
The Orient, Bethpage: Although you can order off the printed menu at this popular Chinese spot, you'd do best to ask host Tommy Tan to guide you to more authentic offerings. Standouts include shrimp with walnuts in mayonnaise sauce and crunchy fried chicken with roasted garlic. On weekends, sample the fine dim sum. Be prepared to wait for a table, since reservations aren't taken. And service can be variable. But more often than not, patience pays off. (Pictured: clams with black bean sauce.)
At The Orient in Bethpage, garlic stems are stir fried with dried tofu.
Pho Maxia Vietnamese Cuisine(Credit: Yana Paskova)
Pho Maxia, Westbury: In a bare-bones storefront setting, chef David Yu does justice to the bold, clean flavors of Vietnam. The aromatic namesake noodle soup may be had in several variations. Try a banh mi sandwich -- a standout is done with grilled hash pork (pictured). Bahh hoi, a festive dish involving angel hair pasta, grilled meat and lettuce, is a must; so, too, are any of the grilled meats over rice or vermicelli.
Banh hoi (angel hair pasta) with grilled shrimp is a must-try dish at Pho Maxia in Westbury.
Southern Spice Chettinad Cuisine(Credit: Johnny Simon)
Southern Spice, New Hyde Park: Surroundings may be nondescript at this South Indian restaurant, but the cuisine of the Chettinad region is more than eye-opening. Here, flavors go off like firecrackers. Lamb chops are slyly incendiary while subtlety characterizes the light Kerala crabcakes (pictured). Put aside preconceptions and try the silky-textured goat brain masala. Another winner: pepper-rimmed tandoori duck.

Spice Village Grill(Credit: Timothy Fadek)
Spice Village Grill, Huntington: At this popular South Asian spot, you can spice up an evening with an array of succulent kebabs and heady curries. Standouts include khao suey, an aromatic Burmese chicken soup, lamb seekh kebab and aloo gobi, a heady vegetarian potato-cauliflower stew.
Chicken kebabs are among the specialties at Spice Village Grill in Huntington.
Yao's Diner(Credit: Doug Young)
Yao's Diner, Centereach: The fiery cuisine of Northern China is the focus of this attractive eatery, opened by Adam Yao to offer fellow expatriate students at Stony Brook University a taste of home. Even if you're not from China, you'll want to eat your way through such authentic dishes as the velvety cumin lamb, West Lake beef soup, ringing-hot kung pao chicken, sauteed sliced chicken with chili pepper, and spicy deep fried crabs (pictured).

He hit the ball well in his return from back surgery at Congressional, but his short game was rusty and he missed the cut by four strokes. His victory at Royal Liverpool, also referred to as Hoylake, was his second straight Open Championship title, and third overall.
Woods won three more majors after that, but none since the 2008 U.S. Open. Since then, he has battled a myriad of injuries and changed his swing, again. Woods can adjust his game to various conditions in which the Open Championship is played. Will his game be sharp enough is the biggest question.
As with Woods, there are plenty of questions surrounding the defending champion, Phil Mickelson. He started the year with a runner-up finish in Abu Dhabi, but hasn't finished better than tied for 11th since.
With no questions about his health, Mickelson's play has been confounding. He has struggled for most of the year, but he returns to a championship which he finally figured out.
Though he missed the cut two years ago, Mickelson tamed Muirfield last year, winning the Open Championship for the first time. He had finished second three years ago and has been somewhat hit or miss recently, but his record is far better than it had been.
Woods and Mickelson have been giants in the game over the last two decades, but obviously have questions about their games. Will that open the door for a newcomer, or will one of the other reigning major champions conquer Hoylake?
The reigning major champions -- Jason Dufner, Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer -- enter this championship in varying degrees of form. Dufner has missed the cut in his last two starts, and he doesn't have the best record at the Open Championship.
Watson had a hot stretch earlier this year, which included his second Masters title. But he has cooled off lately, and like Dufner, doesn't have the best record at the Open. Watson has made the cut in three of his five British Open starts, but hasn't cracked the top 20.
Then there is Kaymer. He dominated the U.S. Open to claim his second major title to go along with his 2010 PGA Championship win. He is as hot as anyone entering the week, and has a solid record at the Open Championship. The German contended in 2010 and 2011, but struggled in both final rounds.
So who does that leave? Jimmy Walker, Patrick Reed or Matt Kuchar have been among the best players in the 2013-14 season, but the Open Championship isn't always won by the best player.
Walker won three of the first 13 events this season, but his best finish since was a share of sixth at the Players Championship. Reed has a pair of wins as well, and pronounced himself one of the best in the world after winning the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
Reed has missed the cut in five of his 10 starts since that win, but did have his mind elsewhere during that tough stretch as his wife gave birth to the couples first child. All is well on that front and he has shot par or better in seven of his last eight rounds. Tough to know what he'll do in his first Open Championship start.
As for Kuchar, he has been the steadiest player on the PGA Tour this year with nine top-10 finishes in 17 starts. He may have a solid record this season, but Kuchar has only played all four rounds at the Open Championship in three of his nine starts. However, those three have come in the last four years and he has finished inside the top 30 all three times. Kuchar is hit-or-miss, like Mickelson, at the Open Championship.
That is a look at just a few of the players competing this week. Will the winner come from the small group? It is possible, but the Open Championship may be the most wide-open of any of the major championships.
We could see an out-of-nowhere-winner like Ben Curtis or Michael Campbell, or we could see Ernie Els or Woods return to their major championship winning ways.
Royal Liverpool is hosting just its second open in the last 46 years. Prior to Woods winning there in 2006, the last champion at Hoylake was Robert De Vicenzo in 1967.
Those two posted winning scores of 18- and 10-under par, so Hoylake is susceptible to low scores, but as always that is weather dependent. The last two Opens at Hoylake have been played under firm, fast conditions. The long range weather looks to be damp for three of the four days, with light winds throughout.
A soft course could open the door for any number of players, and little wind means the bombers like Watson and Dustin Johnson could attempt to overpower the course.
Kaymer's play at Pinehurst could be useful at Hoylake. He putted from off the green throughout the week and it worked like a charm. That type of play is normally good at the Open Championship, but if there are damp conditions, that might take away that type of play.
Maybe it could be another Argentine like De Vicenzo that wins. Angel Cabrera, who just won his first regular PGA Tour event to go with his two major championship titles, finished seventh at Hoylake in 2006.
As I said earlier, the Open Championship is the most wide-open of the three majors. Trying to predict the winner is like trying to predict the weather in the British Isles, nearly impossible.
Let's hope the playing conditions aren't as difficult.

So this is a pretty straightforward concern, but I wanted to add validation notation to a FieldTemplate's Label, and not necessarily its control. In ASP.NET's dynamic data, this isn't straightforward. What I found is that using Entity Templates is better than editing individual Field Templates.
Go into your dynamic data directory and open Default_Edit.ascx and Default_Insert.ascx files. Add a Label to each, like so. This label represents our required field token.
<asp:Label OnInit="Required_Init" runat="server" Text=" *" Visible="false" />
Now, you'll notice this control has an OnInit Handler. Basically, these controls IDs are not available in the codebehind based on the draw order, from what I can tell. So you can set their values when they are drawn, not on a global control-wide event, but on the individual control's events.
protected void Required_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (currentColumn.TypeCode != TypeCode.Boolean) ((Label)sender).Visible = currentColumn.IsRequired; }
Basically, you create a simple event listener that will hide or show the control you just added based on the required-ness of the field. Note that I do not set the label to visible if the column is bound to a Boolean; this is because Booleans render as checkboxes and the idea of 'requiredness' sort of doesn't fit… if you don't check the checkbox, you are still submitting the field with a value of 'false', so required does not apply.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) The project to expand the student housing on 20 Hawley has been declined.
The Binghamton Zoning Board of Appeals voted 4-1 Tuesday night putting a stop to plans to add 180 more beds to the building.
"I wasn't sure which way the board would take it," said Binghamton City Councilman Joseph Mihalko. "I think it's probably a good idea to hold off and try to provide some other parking there.
The debate surrounded interpretation of the city's parking code. Specifically, who should provide it: the city or the privately owned business?
The property is owned by Alfred Weissmann Real Estate, LLC.
They could still appeal the city's vote.
We reached out to Weissmann for a comment, but they did not get back to us in time for this story.

I know almost as little about astro-physics as I do about John Dunne.
Now the Discworld is a planet. There is a moon which orbits the Discworld. This I understand.
Our sun is a star. As far as I know stars do not orbit planets, but vica versa. Therefore the Discworld orbits its sun. Which means in order to have day and night, the Discworld must also be rotating as it orbits. Also the stars seen from Discworld move during the night, further proving the Discworld is rotating.
Every now and then Great Atuin snaps at a passing comet and does a 360 degree roll. Wouldn't that result in an extremely short day? And after the roll, does Great Atuin manage to get back on to the exact same orbit round its sun as before?
I'm sure some clever bod somewhere has worked all this out, does anyone know where I can find the information?
(It's all probably quantum anyway! )

The fans explode as Kyojin makes his way out of the curtain. He looks around with a smile on his face as he loosely holds the ICW World Championship at his side. He throws it up in the air as it is met by another roar from the pumped crowd. He begins to make his way down the ramp, giving some fans high fives as he goes, before he reaches the bottom of the ramp and walks around to the steel stairs. He makes his way up and grabs a microphone from the top of it. Kyojin climbs into the ring and begins to speak immediately.
Kyojin: Well this has been a rollercoaster few weeks, wouldn't you all agree?
The fans pop in agreement.
Kyojin: Firstly, I became ICW World Champion on the final night of that company's tenure, making it so that I will forever go down as the final ICW World Champion, and this beautiful belt will forever be in my possession.
Then we came around to another new company, SRW. I remember it like it was yesterday. After weeks of extensive negotiating, I finally accepted the contract offer from SRW, and became an official SRW superstar. Then before the first show, which I actually opened, was broadcast, some of the guys from behind the scenes jumped ship, declaring SRW to be a minefield filled with deadly explosives, and they weren't sinking with it.
That's totally understandable, but because of them SRW died. Now those guys backstage actually created this fed with the help of somebody from ICW. And i've heard rumours all week about some things, but again, if ICW is living on in IWA- why am I not the World Champion already?
The fans pop for Kyojin.
Kyojin: I'm not saying hand it to me, quite the opposite. I want to earn it. And tonight, my chance to do so begins. I have to face guys like Mr. Smyth, who until Glory Days- was irrelevant to everybody. And even then, when he got some screen time, he didn't get the job done.
Tonight, that's my opponent. A guy who wrote off my chances at Glory Days and I felt like kicking him in the head then, instead, I get to do it tonight.
The fans pop louder.
Kyojin: Smyth is a good talent, don't get me wrong, but he isn't there yet. He isn't up to the level I am. Tonight, when I walk back down to this ring and face him, I'll prove to the entire world that he isn't ready for that kind of exposure.
In fact, tonight, I may just show Mr. Smyth that the business mind he claims to have may be blinded by his own selfish desires. Tonight I'm going-
Mr. Smyth stands at the top of the ramp with a bewildered look on his face, as the crowd boos. Smyth walks down to the ring briefcase in hand, throwing the occasional look of disgust at various members of the audience as he passes them by. Smyth gets into the ring and is handed a mic by the stagehand.
Mr. Smyth: Before I address some of the things you have said, let me be the first to congratulate you on your championship win. Seriously...
Smyth offers out a hand to Kyojin. Kyojin hesitates, but accepts the handshake.
...it's about time you achieved something in your life.
Kyojin snatches his hand back as the crowd boos.
But let's talk business. Some of what you have said was considerably ignorant. You seemingly have a twisted view on what we spoke about at Glory Days, so allow me the opportunity to put that right. I didn't write you off. I told you that I would not begrudge you a win. Now don't get me wrong, before his injury, Antonyo Angelo was my pick – and I know you have your theories as to why that is – but when he was taken out of the picture, I gave you and Darius a fifty-fifty chance. The only thing I knew for certain was that Van Hooligan X wasn't walking out champion, but is that me writing you off? I don't think so. One could argue that I actually endorsed you.
And you've disappointed me as well, Kyojin. For you to resort to calling me irrelevant and assuming that I won't be a challenge for you just shows that you're not the man I thought you are. I was looking forward to an intellectual exchange between the two of us. That's what I expected of you. For months I've been talking to people who are boring and resort to ignorant phrases like that, but I was hoping for so much more from you. Maybe your creativity is starting to drain somewhat. Maybe – just maybe – Kyojin is getting stale.
Crowd boos, with a small section chanting 'No!' 'No!' 'No!'
You are right about something: we certainly have had a turbulent time on the indie scene. In fact, the wrestling industry in itself seems to be on a massive freefall. ICW closed because of some in-fighting and poor business decisions. SRW was built on poor decisions, poor hiring and a lack of teamwork. I could see from a mile off that it wasn't going to work, hence why my contract stated that all payments owed to me were to be paid in advanced. I did absolutely nothing, and I got a lot of money for it.
Crowd chants 'Arsehole!' 'Arsehole!' 'Arsehole!' as Mr. Smyth turns to them.
Look, he may be a lot of things, but Kyojin is not an arsehole.
Crowd boos as Mr. Smyth chuckles to himself.
But now here we are – IWA. You and I have been bounced back-and-forth quite a bit over these last few weeks, but this seems to be a stable environment for now. I'm intrigued about your delusions of grandeur though. Regardless of what you say, you clearly believe that you are the rightful world champion and the fact that you say that I am not on your level further enforces that. Here's the thing – it's a new company, which means it's a level playing field. You, me, Darius, Ryder, Jackson Smith – everybody is currently on the same level. Over the next few weeks and months, a hierarchy will be established, but don't you dare think that belt right there gives you an advantage over anybody else. I'm sure Smokey has in his head a plan of who he wants where, but this is an amazing opportunity to change his mind.
Tonight is the proving ground. You and I will go one-on-one for the first time ever, and if I am honest, I am looking forward to it. I did say to you back at Glory Days that if you were to be victorious, then I would like to take a shot at you. Unfortunately, it won't be for that title you have there, but our match is the next best thing – round one in a tournament for the IWA World Title.
Smyth steps closer to Kyojin.
Remember what I told you about expectations? How everybody expects everything from you and how nobody expects anything from me? Well the pressure is back on you tonight. Will you be crushed under the weight of expectation? I have a theory on that if you want to hear it, and...
Kyojin: Are you done? Because this got boring a long time ago.
The fans pop loudly for the interruption as Smyth looks angry.
Kyojin: No I'm being serious, time and time again, you walk out to this ring- and whether it's on ICW, IWA, TWE, anything you come out with is always the same thing- you talk about me getting stale, trust me when I say that your talking got stale the minute you stepped foot into this ring, into any ring.
And didn't we have this conversation before? 'Oh Kyojin, you're not going to do anything, you don't stand a chance against Darius and Van Hooligan X'- well I got news for you Smyth, I stood my chance, I took my chance and I became a World Champion.
As for you, well, you were thwarted by yourself. You seem to think that we all believe you when you come out here complaining about being overlooked and underappreciated when really, I think it's all a ploy to try and take the pressure off. I get that it works, but if we can all see right through you, sure that just puts the pressure right back on.
So what happened to you at Glory Days? I get you said that you weren't going to deliver, you weren't going to win- but we could all see it when you got into that ring- how much you wanted it. And when you left with nothing- well I have to say I'm not surprised. You never deserved a damn thing in ICW, you don't deserve a damn thing in IWA and tonight, I'm going to be the one that proves that.
The fans pop loudly.

This article considers four-vectors in the context of special relativity. Although the concept of four-vectors also extends to general relativity, some of the results stated in this article require modification in general relativity.
A point in Minkowski space is called an "event" and is described in a standard basis by a set of four coordinates such as
where = 0, 1, 2, 3, labels the spacetime dimensions and where c is the speed of light. The definition ensures that all the coordinates have the same units (of distance). These coordinates are the components of the position four-vector for the event. The displacement four-vector is defined to be an "arrow" linking two events:
(Note that the position vector is the displacement vector when one of the two events is the origin of the coordinate system. Position vectors are relatively trivial; the general theory of four-vectors is concerned with displacement vectors.)
The (pseudo-) inner product of two four-vectors and is defined (using Einstein notation) as
where η is the Minkowski metric. Sometimes this inner product is called the Minkowski inner product. It is not a true inner product in the mathematical sense because it is not positive definite. Note: some authors define η with the opposite sign:
An important property of the inner product is that it is invariant (that is, a scalar): a change of coordinates does not result in a change in value of the inner product.
The inner product is often expressed as the effect of the dual vector of one vector on the other:
Here the s are the components of the dual vector of in the dual basis and called the covariant coordinates of , while the original components are called the contravariant coordinates. Lower and upper indices indicate always covariant and contravariant coordinates, respectively.
The relation between the covariant and contravariant coordinates is:
The four-vectors are arrows on the spacetime diagram or Minkowski diagram. In this article, four-vectors will be referred to simply as vectors.
Four-vectors may be classified as either spacelike, timelike or null. Spacelike, timelike, and null vectors are ones whose inner product with themselves is greater than, less than, and equal to zero respectively.
In special relativity (but not general relativity), the derivative of a four-vector with respect to a scalar (invariant) is itself a four-vector.
When considering physical phenomena, differential equations arise naturally; however, when considering space and time derivatives of functions, it is unclear which reference frame these derivatives are taken with respect to. It is agreed that time derivatives are taken with respect to the proper time (τ). As proper time is an invariant, this guarantees that the proper-time-derivative of any four-vector is itself a four-vector. It is then important to find a relation between this proper-time-derivative and another time derivative (using the time of an inertial reference frame). This relation is provided by the time transformation in the Lorentz transformations and is:
where γ is the Lorentz factor. Important four-vectors in relativity theory can now be defined, such as the four-velocity of an world line is defined by:
for i = 1, 2, 3. Notice that
The four-acceleration is given by:
Since the magnitude of is a constant, the four acceleration is (pseudo-)orthogonal to the four velocity, i.e. the Minkowski inner product of the four-acceleration and the four-velocity is zero:
which is true for all world lines.
The four-momentum for a massive particle is given by:
where m is the invariant mass of the particle and is the relativistic momentum.
The four-force is defined by:
For a particle of constant mass, this is equivalent to
The power and elegance of the four-vector formalism may be demonstrated by seeing that known relations between energy and matter are embedded into it.
with f as above. Noticing that and expanding this out we get
which yields
for some constant S. When the particle is at rest (u = 0), we take its kinetic energy to be zero (K = 0). This gives
Thus, we interpret the total energy E of the particle as composed of its kinetic energy K and its rest energy m c2. Thus, we have
Using the relation , we can write the four-momentum as
Taking the inner product of the four-momentum with itself in two different ways, we obtain the relation
This last relation is useful in many areas of physics.
Examples of four-vectors in electromagnetism include the four-current defined by
formed from the current density j and charge density ρ, and the electromagnetic four-potential defined by
formed from the vector potential a and the scalar potential .
A plane electromagnetic wave can be described by the four-frequency defined as
where is the frequency of the wave and n is a unit vector in the travel direction of the wave. Notice that
so that the four-frequency is always a null vector.
A wave packet of nearly monochromatic light can be characterized by the wave vector, or four-wavevector

Saturday, January 18th (All times Eastern)
Edmonton Oilers (15-30-5) at Winnipeg Jets (21-23-5), 2 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Winnipeg Jets will try to make it three straight wins with Paul Maurice behind the bench, as they welcome the lowly Edmonton Oilers for Saturday's matinee battle at MTS Centre.
The Jets are 2-0 since firing head coach Claude Noel and replacing him with Maurice. The club has outscored the opposition by a 10-3 score since the coaching change.
Maurice guided Winnipeg to a 5-1 home win over Phoenix on Monday and then posted a 5-2 win Thursday in Calgary. The Jets scored two goals in both the first and second periods to build a 4-0 cushion on Thursday and then held on for the victory over the Flames.
"First two periods we were good. Patience and hard working. And then they came on. They had nothing to lose. So there is still some learning for us on how to handle that," said Maurice. "At the end of the day we needed some good things to happen and one of them is your goalie senses that and made some good saves."
Olli Jokinen, Bryan Little and Mark Scheifele each posted a goal and an assist to lead the Jets in Calgary. Jacob Trouba and Dustin Byfuglien also tallied for the Jets, who last won three straight from Dec. 27-31.
Ondrej Pavelec was solid in net, making 20 saves to notch the win.
The Jets and Oilers have split a pair of meetings in 2013-14, but Saturday's tilt -- the season-series finale -- is the first encounter in Winnipeg.
Edmonton has taken three of four overall in the series and four of six all- time on the road against the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise. This is only the second meeting in Winnipeg since the Jets relocated from Atlanta prior to the 2011-12 season.
The Oilers are currently mired in a three-game losing streak and the Western Conference's basement-dwellers are just 4-12-2 over their past 18 games. Edmonton has lost all three tilts during its current slide in regulation and has yielded four or more goals in each of those setbacks.
Ben Scrivens made his debut in net for the Oilers in a 4-1 loss at Minnesota on Thursday. Scrivens, who was acquired from Los Angeles for a 2014 third- round draft choice on Wednesday, made 29 saves in his first game with the Oilers.
"I felt pretty good, but I need to find a way to make another save or two for the guys here. Every game at this point of my career is another chance for me to develop and get better," Scrivens said. "Every team is different, we did so many things well in our own zone, but we made a few mistakes."
Jordan Eberle produced Edmonton's lone highlight with a first-period goal.
Forward Matt Hendricks also debuted for Edmonton after coming over from Nashville in another trade on Wednesday. Hendricks, who was acquired for goaltender Devan Dubnyk, failed to register a shot on goal in Thursday's loss.
The Oilers will try to salvage a win today in the finale of a four-game road trip. The club has lost six straight as the guest and is 7-18-3 away from Edmonton this season.
Edmonton played Thursday without forward Ales Hemsky and he expects to miss a second straight game with a bruised ankle. Fellow forward Nail Yakupov suffered a head injury in the loss against the Wild and is doubtful for Saturday's tilt.
Meanwhile, Jets defenseman Grant Clitsome underwent season-ending back surgery Thursday at the Marina Spine Center in California. Clitsome scored two goals with 10 assists in 32 games this season, but hasn't played since Dec. 17.
Jets forward Evander Kane will miss a fourth straight game with a deep cut on his hand. Kane was placed on injured reserve on Thursday and Carl Klingberg was recalled from St. John's of the AHL to take his spot on the roster.

Child's Chair
Gardner was a family-run furniture company that secured several United States patents for its innovated seating furniture. The patent on this chair was for the one-piece plywood seat and back, an early use of this progressive material that would reach its greatest utility in the mid-twentieth century. Patents were of two types: technical patents, like the one here, and design patents. Manufacturers used patents to promote their wares as progressive and novel. Gardner exhibited similar chairs at the Centennial exhibition and garnered awards for their ingenuity.

Low counts in two studies add emphasis to efforts to protect the predator
After well-publicized attacks on swimmers and surfers, and starring roles in thriller films, great white sharks have made the A-list of dreaded predators.
Yet conservation groups say the ocean giants should be protected instead of feared, and deserve a place on endangered species lists.
Despite their prominent place in popular culture, white sharks are rare and elusive in the water, and some fear they are so scarce that their survival is at stake.
Last summer, the organizations Oceana, the Center for Biological Diversity and Shark Stewards petitioned the National Marine Fisheries Service and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to grant white sharks protected status.
Numbers on the sharks have been hard to come by, but two recent studies suggest that only 339 adult and sub-adult white sharks live in the northeastern Pacific.
California law bans fishing for white sharks, but fishery records show that each year California fishermen accidentally pull in between two and 25 white shark pups, and the petitions note that there may be more that aren't reported.
Marine pollution, habitat loss and climate change could also endanger the sharks, they argue.
"White sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, of the northeastern Pacific Ocean are in peril," the state petition declared. "These sharks urgently need protection under the California Endangered Species Act."
Scientists say that despite their fearsome reputation, the sharks remain a mystery, defying the kind of definitive answers that would help officials make that call.
The California Fish and Game Commission will consider on Feb. 6 whether to declare the sharks a candidate for protection, and has another year to decide whether to list them. A staff report released last week advised the commission to consider the request but cautioned that data on the sharks remain unclear.
The fisheries service is already looking at the listing request, and will decide in June whether to propose white sharks as a federally endangered species. It would then take public comment, and decide within a year whether to finalize that protection.
While the two agencies communicate about the process, they will decide separately on the endangered listings.
"There is a serious risk that this population is very low, and those numbers inherently provide a threat of extinction," said Geoff Shester, California program director for Oceana. "By itself, that may or may not be a big concern, except that there is something we can do something about, which is (regulating) the by-catch in these fisheries."
White sharks glide through global waters in three distinct regions including the northeastern Pacific, which extends from Alaska to Mexico, between California and Hawaii. At lengths of up to 18 feet, with serrated, blade-like teeth, they're the largest carnivorous sharks, making them a source of fear and fascination.
Thrillers such as "Jaws" and "Open Water" have preyed on that intrigue to capture audiences, while reports of real-life shark encounters keep beachgoers on their toes. The Los Angeles-based Shark Research Committee reported last week that there were eight authenticated shark attacks on the West Coast in 2012, all linked to great whites.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The fastest and most powerful Zonda ever
Big wings, big power, big brakes and a small Nurburgring lap time. Say goodbye to the Zonda, internet
Posted: 04 Jun 2013
Keen watchers of Top Gear may recall that Jeremy bid "Sayonara!" to the Zonda a few years ago with the 'can't drive on the street/maybe some tracks (if they're nice)' Zonda R. But like those annoying Zombies in Call of Duty, the Zonda is a supercar that refuses to die. We're not complaining, obviously, but it does appear that now, this Zonda 'Revolucion' is apparently it.
It's a fettled Zonda R that's out to snatch its bigger brother's Green Hell lap time - the current 'Ring record holder. How? Lots of power, not a lot of weight and some very clever aero. Oh, and a £1.8 million (plus taxes) price tag.
Power comes from AMG's naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12, all 789bhp and 538lb ft of it. That's 50bhp and 14lb ft more torque than the old Zonda R. And thanks to a carbotanium tub, it only weighs in at 1070kg - less than a Mini Cooper. Power gets to the rear wheels thanks to a 6-speed magnesium transversal and sequential gearbox, and all those words basically mean it swaps cogs in 20 millieseconds. Which depending on the size of your eye, susceptibility to hayfever and minus the inclusion of a twitch, is probably faster than you can blink.
What's most impressive is the F1-technology they've incorporated. There's a new aero package, which means lots of carbon fibre appendages, a massive rear diffuser and the inclusion of DRS (Drag-Reduction-System) on the rear wing. They've also put more powerful carbon brake discs on all four corners that are 15 per cent lighter than the R's, so it can brake harder for longer and with less fade.
What'll all this mean round the Nordschlife? Well, Top Gear spoke to Davide Testi - Pagani's chief test driver - last week, and he reckons it could be up to 15 seconds quicker than the Zonda R. Woah.
What do you think TG.commers, is this a suitable final farewell for the Zonda?

A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of another electrical circuit. In the original form, the switch is operated by an electromagnet to open or close one or many sets of contacts. It was invented by Joseph Henry in 1835. Because a relay is able to control an output circuit of higher power than the input circuit, it can be considered to be, in a broad sense, a form of an electrical amplifier.
When there is a current through the coil, the resulting magnetic field attracts an armature that is mechanically linked to a moving contact. The movement either makes or breaks a connection with a fixed contact. When the current to the coil is switched off, the armature is returned by a force approximately half as strong as the magnetic force to its relaxed position. Usually this is a spring, but gravity is also used commonly in industrial motor starters. Most relays are manufactured to operate quickly. In a low voltage application, this is to reduce noise. In a high voltage or high current application, this is to reduce arcing.
If the coil is energized with DC, a diode is frequently installed across the coil, to dissipate the energy from the collapsing magnetic field at deactivation, which would otherwise generate a spike of voltage and might cause damage to circuit components. Some automotive relays already include that diode inside the relay case. Alternatively a contact protection network, consisting of a capacitor and resistor in series, may absorb the surge. If the coil is designed to be energized with AC, a small copper ring can be crimped to the end of the solenoid. This "shading ring" creates a small out-of-phase current, which increases the minimum pull on the armature during the AC cycle.
By analogy with the functions of the original electromagnetic device, a solid-state relay is made with a thyristor or other solid-state switching device. To achieve electrical isolation an optocoupler can be used which is a light-emitting diode (LED) coupled with a photo transistor.
A latching relay has two relaxed states (bistable). These are also called 'keep' or 'stay' relays. When the current is switched off, the relay remains in its last state. This is achieved with a solenoid operating a ratchet and cam mechanism, or by having two opposing coils with an over-center spring or permanent magnet to hold the armature and contacts in position while the coil is relaxed, or with a remnant core. In the ratchet and cam example, the first pulse to the coil turns the relay on and the second pulse turns it off. In the two coil example, a pulse to one coil turns the relay on and a pulse to the opposite coil turns the relay off. This type of relay has the advantage that it consumes power only for an instant, while it is being switched, and it retains its last setting across a power outage.
A solid state contactor is a very heavy-duty solid state relay, including the necessary heat sink, used for switching electric heaters, small electric motors and lighting loads; where frequent on/off cycles are required. There are no moving parts to wear out and there is no contact bounce due to vibration. They are activated by AC control signals or DC control signals from Programmable logic controller (PLCs), PCs, Transistor-transistor logic (TTL) sources, or other microprocessor controls.
A solid state relay (SSR) is a solid state electronic component that provides a similar function to an electromechanical relay but does not have any moving components, increasing long-term reliability. With early SSR's, the tradeoff came from the fact that every transistor has a small voltage drop across it. This collective voltage drop limited the amount of current a given SSR could handle. As transistors improved, higher current SSR's, able to handle 100 to 1,200 amps, have become commercially available. Compared to electromagnetic relays, they may be falsely triggered by transients.
Since relays are switches, the terminology applied to switches is also applied to relays. A relay will switch one or more poles, each of whose contacts can be thrown by energizing the coil in one of three ways:
The following designations are commonly encountered:
The "S" or "D" may be replaced with a number, indicating multiple switches connected to a single actuator. For example 4PDT indicates a four pole double throw relay (with 14 terminals).
Selection of an appropriate relay for a particular application requires evaluation of many different factors:
These protective relays provide various types of electrical protection by detecting abnormal conditions and isolating them from the rest of the electrical system by circuit breaker operation. Such relays may be located at the service entrance or at major load centers.
Design and theory of these protective devices is an important part of the education of an electrical engineer who specializes in power systems. Today these devices are nearly entirely replaced (in new designs) with microprocessor-based instruments (numerical relays) that emulate their electromechanical ancestors with great precision and convenience in application. By combining several functions in one case, numerical relays also save capital cost and maintenance cost over electromechanical relays. However, due to their very long life span, tens of thousands of these "silent sentinels" are still protecting transmission lines and electrical apparatus all over the world.
See also Protective Device Coordination.
T = K x φ1 x φ2 Sinθ
K – is a constant
φ1 and φ2 are the two fluxes
θ is the phase angle between the fluxes
The relays primary winding is supplied from the power systems current transformer via a plug bridge, which is also commonly known as the plug setting multiplier (psm). The variations in the current setting are usually seven equally spaced tappings or operating bands that determine the relays sensitivity. The primary winding is located on the upper electromagnet. The secondary winding has connections on the upper electromagnet that are energised from the primary winding and connected to the lower electromagnet. Once the upper and lower electromagnets are energised they produce eddy currents that are induced onto the metal disc and flow through the flux paths. This relationship of eddy currents and fluxes creates rotational torque proportional to the input current of the primary winding, due to the two flux paths been out of phase by 90º.
Therefore in an overcurrent condition a value of current will be reached that overcomes the control spring pressure on the spindle and the breaking magnet causing the metal disc to rotate moving towards the fixed contact. This initial movement of the disc is also held off to a critical positive value of current by small slots that are often cut into the side of the disc. The time taken for rotation to make the contacts is not only dependent on current but also the spindle backstop position, known as the time multiplier (tm). The time multiplier is divided into 10 linear divisions of the full rotation time.
Providing the relay is free from dirt the metal disc and the spindle with its contact will reach the fixed contact. Sending a signal to trip and isolate the circuit, within its designed time and current specifications. Drop off current of the relay is much lower than its operating value, and once reached the relay will be reset in a reverse motion by the pressure of the control spring governed by the braking magnet.
In three step distance protection, the relays are separated into three separate zones of impedance measurement to accommodate for over reach and under reach conditions. Zone 1 is instantaneous in operation and has a purposely set under reach of 80% of the total line length to avoid operation for the next line. This is due to measurements of impedance of lines not being entirely accurate, errors in voltage and current transformers and relay tolerances. These errors can be up to ±20% of the line impedance, hence the zones 80% reach. Zone 2 covers the last 20% of the feeder line length and provides backup to the next line by having a slight over reach. To prevent mal-operation the zone has a 0.5 second time delay. Zone 3 provides backup for the next line and has a time delay of 1 second to grade with zone 2 protection of the next line.

The purpose of the Portland Police Bureau Trespass Authorization Program is to allow property owners or managers to authorize Portland Police Officers to enter onto their property for the purpose of enforcing trespass laws against individuals who are trespassing on the property when no responsible party is on site. Individuals who are found by Police Officers to be on your property without authorization will either be arrested for Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree or told to leave the property and not to return. If the Police Officer arrests the individual for trespassing, the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office may file criminal charges against the arrested individual(s).
To initiate the program, the property owner, manager or lessee, must submit the attached document titled "Trespass Enforcement Agreement." The form must be signed and dated. Incomplete and/or illegible forms might not be processed. Describe the location as best as possible, also including what the property consists of, such as the number and type of buildings or structures on the property, types of open areas, number of entrances, parking areas, etc. The location MUST have an actual address. If it does not, please contact the program coordinator for more information.
Decide whether you or someone else will be available to come to court to testify if necessary. Write the full name, mailing address and phone number in the appropriate blanks on the form for the person who should receive the subpoenas for any court appearance that may result from any arrest made on the property. The extent of the testimony would be limited to testifying that you gave permission to the Portland Police Bureau to enforce trespass laws on the property and that the person charged was not authorized to be on the property.
Post "No Trespassing" signs in prominent locations on the property. Remember that Trespass Agreements are non-transferable. When the owner, manager, or other property information changes, a new form must be submitted. Otherwise, the Trespass Agreement should be renewed/updated every two years.
Completed forms can be faxed to (503) 823-0096 or mailed to:

2015 is going to be a busy year for Lyric Unlimited, which is presenting three world premieres and a brand-new family performance! Read more about these great new projects, which include a klezmer opera and a zoo opera!
2015 is going to be a busy year for Lyric Unlimited, which is presenting three world premieres and a brand-new family performance! Lyric General Director Anthony Freud and Lyric Unlimited Director Cayenne Harris take you through these exciting new projects:
Adapted from the acclaimed graphic novel by Rutu Modan, The Property tells the story of Regina Segal and her granddaughter Mica, who travel to modern Warsaw to try to regain family property lost during World War II. As their journey unfolds, Regina is forced to confront painful truths about her past, while Mica realizes their reasons for coming might not be all that they seemed.
This world-premiere opera is being composed by Wlad Marhulets and will be in the klezmer style. Stephanie Fleischmann and Eric Einhorn have adapted the novel and will act as librettist and director, respectively.
The Property will be presented in partnership with the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago and will be performed at that venue and at Skokie's North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets go on sale on July 1!
Let's all go to the zoo! In August 2015, Lyric Unlimited presents world premiere of a new children's opera, Second Nature, at the beautiful and historic Lincoln Park Zoo. Second Nature is set in the not-so-distant future, when the environment has deteriorated and humans have decided it's safer to live in zoo-like habitats that protect them from the outside world. Encouraged by the other animal inhabitants, two young children dare to explore the world outside the walls to see if there is still something worth saving.
American composer Matthew Aucoin is both composer and librettist, and Matthew Ozawa directs. This new presentation is recommended for families with children ages 8 to 12. And best of all, it's free and open to the public!
Preview performances for the highly anticipated mariachi opera El Pasado Nunca Se Termina have been added at Benito Juaréz Community Academy in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood and Waukegan's historic Genesee Theatre. Tickets for these previews are available July 1. Seats for the world-premiere performances right here at Lyric are available now!
And tickets for The Magic Victrola are available right now, so save your seats today for this all-new family concert with music from Mozart's The Magic Flute, Bizet's Carmen, and other beloved operatic masterworks.

RoTenGo originated in the 1930's in Barbados and combines tennis and table tennis on the ground. It is also known as road tennis in some places. RoTenGo not only attracts sports minded individuals but people without a sports background enjoy the fun and great workout it provides. It does not take power or athleticism to play. Come learn a new way to have fun with friends and family.
This event occurs in the America/Mexico City time zone.
