Summit addresses 'promise,' challenges of aging population
By Sheetal Babu, special to the Henrico Citizen 06/07/11
Members of the Older Dominion Partnership gathered last month in Henrico to educate Virginians about the importance of creating awareness and working together to conquer the difficulties of aging, at the Age Wave Summit II Conference.
The head committee arrived at the all-day conference May 19, held at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Virginia in Henrico, equipped with words of motivation to tackle "the promise, not the problem, of aging."
As its motto says, the Older Dominion Partnership (ODP) exists to help the quickly aging citizens of Virginia who might be facing shortages in affordable senior housing, professional healthcare, care management and home care.
The partnership is a nonprofit program started by businesses and foundations to raise Virginia's state of aging preparedness. Since Virginia's 65-and-older population is predicted to double to 1.8 million by 2030, the partnership is providing an independent program to help the elderly ride the age wave. Its goal is to offer people assured security and to let Virginia lead the nation into a new period of safe aging.
The first speaker, Richmond Times-Dispatch Publisher Thomas Silvestri, was quick to talk about the problems that Virginia faces. The public's aging population might want to take care of the aging issues, but it is not ready, he said. Not only did Silvestri discuss the problem with financial support, but he also highlighted the fact that the public's desire for action fell short.
"There is no urgency," Silvestri said. "That has to change…awareness is the first step, but Virginia needs our kick to get there.
"It's important to spend time in the community rather than in conference rooms. Virginia has all the history to lead the new age wave, but the federal government isn't ready."
Once everyone is on board, he believes that Virginia will master the age wave. Silvestri got the audience keyed up for the upcoming afternoon by chanting, "I don't want to be mad as hell, I want to avoid a disaster."
Expectations discussed
As a member of the Virginia House of Delegates since 2001, in addition to being a practicing physician, Virginia Delegate John O'Bannon (R-73rd District) holds a unique perspective on the age wave topic.
During his "Boomers Meet Medicare – What Now?" address at the summit, O'Bannon talked specifically about the expectations of boomers and the role of Medicare in their lives.
"Technology is lengthening people's lives," O'Bannon said. "Medical breakthroughs will come to make people healthy, but there will always be health problems. Medicare needs to change to accommodate the agers." The boomers might expect to stay alive longer and continue to do what they want; however there are still concerns about the burden of chronic illness to deal with.
"Americans do what they want first and then they worry about consequences later," O'Bannon said.
Three testimonials discussed why the ODP mattered to the community.
"This room symbolizes the long bench. Right now, it's not as deep," said Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging (V4A) representative Courtney Tierney. She emphasized the importance of working together and utilizing ODP's resources for everyone's benefit.
"Individually, we can't scratch the surface, but together with data, we can do it." The V4A strives to provide resources and policies that will help the elderly lead meaningful lives.
Jeanne McCusker from Home Instead Senior Care in Charlottesville underscored similar points.
"This is a global issue like the energy crisis, financial crisis and the environmental crisis," McCusker said. "To change the face of aging, we need companionship instead of isolation."
The 2011 Age Ready Indicators Survey conducted by the ODP gives the public an idea of whether or not seniors and boomers feel they are ready to face the age wave. The 5,000 respondents were contacted by mail, phone or online. Some of the responses were obtained through 30-minute interviews. In total, 164 questions were asked.
When questioned about their quality of life, 75 percent of seniors and 70 percent of boomers answered that their lives were very good or excellent whereas. Out of all the respondents, 61 percent of seniors and 48 percent of boomers felt that they were personally well prepared to navigate the challenges of aging. On the other hand, fewer thought that their community was prepared. Only 32 percent of seniors and 16 percent of boomers agreed that their communities were well prepared.
According to the survey, 29 percent of seniors and 40 percent of boomers felt either often or sometimes lonely. Comparing 1980 and 2011, frequent loneliness decreased slightly.
In the workforce, a very low percentage felt that they had ever been discriminated against because of age. A high percentage of both seniors and boomers received no public assistance and stated that they did not need it.
About four in ten of those aged 65-and-older have a chronic illness. Nearly half of the seniors and boomers who participated in the survey had visited a doctor due to injury or illness within the past two years.
After collecting the survey results, the ODP plans to work on the problem areas in order to improve the standard of aging in Virginia.

This was good but not great - cabbage was too salty/peppery, though the touch of sesame was just right. The chicken was yummy but flavors needed to be stronger - more hoisin and ginger. I will take others' suggestions and use a dipping sauce next time.

Fischer praises White's leadership, role as change agent in Louisville
Robert White, who has served as Louisville's police chief since 2003 and led the city to be recognized as one of America's largest safest cities, will be named chief of the Denver Police Department next week. Mayor Greg Fischer announced that he will immediately begin a search for White's replacement.
"Chief White has been a high-caliber leader who has made our city safer and who has earned tremendous respect across the city," Fischer said. "It's not a surprise that, over the years, many cities have tried to hire him. Denver is gaining a police chief of high integrity."
Fischer said he has begun the process of identifying potential new chiefs from both within and outside the Louisville Metro Police Department. He said he would be seeking input from citizens, police and national experts.
"My goal is to hire the best chief to lead our department and make it even better than it already is," Fischer said. "We are a safe city, but we can be even safer. I'm seeking a leader who can take us to that next level."
Fischer said he will soon name an interim chief to assume the day-to-day duties until a permanent chief can be named.
White said the decision to leave Louisville was difficult but that he felt that he has achieved all he could in Louisville and he looks forward to new challenges in Denver.
"I'm leaving Louisville in great hands – and I want to thank the men and women of the Louisville Police Department who are dedicated and passionate public servants," White said. "I also wish to thank the citizens of Louisville who have made my job enjoyable every day the last nine years."
The mayor's office in Denver is planning a formal announcement next week. The Denver City Council must approve the hiring, a process expected to take three weeks.
White was appointed chief of the newly merged Louisville Metro Police Department on January 6, 2003. The department was created with the merger of the Louisville Division of Police and the Jefferson County Police Department. The department — the 22nd largest in the country — has 1,200 sworn officers and nearly 400 civilian personnel.

Can you catch a disease from a licked envelope?
—Pete Sadoff
Put it this way: Any mail marked "bird flu, special delivery!" should be returned to sender. Although cold and flu viruses only survive between a few minutes and two days, sealing them in glue can extend their lives. "DNA and germs can last decades on licked envelopes," says Charles E. Crutchfield, medical director at the University of Minnesota Medical School. So think twice about using your tongue as a letter opener.

Is it possible to literally puke your guts out?
—Natalie Kersten
"Usually you only puke out bile and recently ingested food," says Richard Desi, M.D., gastroenterologist at Mercy Medical Center. "During severe episodes, you may notice what looks like tissue in your barf," he adds. "But that's just the inside lining of your intestines being constantly shed and replaced." Gross! Makes us wanna barf our guts out.

Why do I have to pay $5 more to see a 3D movie?
—Martin Clark
Jason Lewin, director of marketing for American Paper Optics, blames the projector: "The eyes must see two different images—one for the right and one for the left. So theaters have to spend money on digital projectors and a lens that then splits the screen for 3D viewing." Now if he can explain why movie theater popcorn costs $25...

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2010 Merlot has the powerful structure of Napa balanced with the luscious mixed berry fruit of Sonoma, all in one bottle. This Merlot brings both of these elements together in full-force along with some marvelous aromas of dried black cherry and humidor with toastiness from the winery's judicious use of French and American Oak. The result is a wine with a dense body from the cooler vintage showing through in the more classically structured tannins. Truly a wine that lives up to Ghost Pines' philosophy; excellence has no boundaries.
Like the unharnessed, free-form, ghost-like tree with which it shares a name, Ghost Pines represents the long, rich, winemaking heritage of California's finest appellations. By departing from traditional single appellation grape sourcing, the Ghost Pines winemaker is able to craft consistently superior "Winemaker's Blend" wines which showcase the concentrated yet elegant flavor characters that come from the best growing regions in the state.

Five reasons you should be excited for Xbox One
[Continued] Page 2
Customer service and Microsoft's track record with second chances
If it isn't evident enough to you yet, let me make it so: Microsoft is a prideful company. They don't like admitting they're wrong, and when they're showcasing something, they do it with a bit of "swagger" that only a company formerly owned by Bill Gates can do. However, something changed, at least momentarily, when Microsoft shocked the world and switched two of their Xbox One policies after listening to fan outcry via social media and pre-orders. This continued just today when, as I previously mentioned, Microsoft revealed that indie game publishers can self-publish on Xbox One. This tells me that Microsoft is finally learning a vital trait to customer service that extends from the casual consumer to the hardcore community that's been around since 2002.
And on a similar note, Microsoft has a track record with second chances and not stumbling twice. Xbox to Xbox 360. Pre-360 Xbox LIVE to Xbox LIVE with a marketplace and user interaction. These are just two examples of getting things right after failure, and I'd argue that this time around Microsoft has more to "get right" than ever before. As I previously touched upon, Kinect is one monumental pillar to restructure – to build back faith in fans. Another is that of games themselves. And finally is one they've already begun to tackle, and that is that of used game restrictions and always online.
Customer service is a priority for any successful company, and it's promising that Microsoft's is beginning to span towards the hardcore, gaming crowd that so dearly just wants to be recognized and cared for.
Take a look at your Xbox 360 quick. It's a pretty impressive piece of hardware, isn't it? One that can play triple-A, disc-based games, music & other applications and ultimately interact with people all over the world. However, none of this is seamless. The Xbox One aims to bring forth these present features, along with a slew of new ideas that I highlighted earlier, and blend them together so that an "all-in-one entertainment system" can literally be that, and not just a box that provides everything in a choppy, set-apart manner.
This should excite you because it, once again, provides countless opportunities for games. Microsoft wants you to be able to search for a guide of the game you're playing as you play that specific game. Microsoft wants you to Skype your buddies while you take down strangers in Call of Duty's multiplayer. Microsoft wants you to do all of this because it plays into the hands of the Xbox One. And if it's done truly seamlessly, it's going to create a unique atmosphere that chat did for Xbox LIVE way back when.
Think about it. Seamlessness is exciting.

Congratulations to the new Ohio State CLUW President, Brenda Davis (UAW).
The 250 representatives from organized labor and worker centers made up the largest delegation there – which was obvious every time someone on the stage or at a mike said the word "union" or "collective bargaining."
The day before, labor/work center delegates gathered at the AFL-CIO headquarters for a Labor Speak Up!" event that provided an opportunity for delegates to share their stories both formally and informally about work and work-life issues and the value of a union and a collective bargaining agreement –especially for women and families.
See photo below of CLUW Delegation. Read more by clicking here.
The 250+ union delegation (out of 1,000 in attendance) was the biggest delegation at Monday's White House Summit. This fact was obvious each time reference was made to unions or collective bargaining .

This video entitled the "Next Generation of IBEW Organizing" shows the Youth Movement within IBEW Local 1245, in California.
All of the women in this video are active members of the Central California Chapter of CLUW. One of the members is Donchele Soper who was one of the participants in the Young Workers Panel at the 2013 CLUW Convention in Reno, Nevada.
Washington, DC (July 31, 2014) - Today the AFL-CIO Executive Council unanimously passed a statement on "Hobby Lobby: Yet Another Supreme Court Decision That Harms Women's Health and Threatens Worker Rights" that states…" The Hobby Lobby ruling is a major blow in the struggle for women's health and threatens the Affordable Care Act's goal of ensuring that all working families have access to cost-effective preventive health care. By allowing the owners of companies to pick and choose which provisions of the law they will follow, the Supreme Court's ruling undermines workers' rights and, in particular, will make it much more difficult for women to get access to the care they need. The decision also raises the specter of employers arguing that religious objections should override their responsibilities under minimum wage, civil rights, and other workplace laws."… The full statement can be found here.
Elizabeth Shuler, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer commented on the issue, "The Hobby Lobby decision puts a sharp point on a string of recent Supreme Court rulings that undermine women's health and threaten workers. And it even takes things one step further – allowing corporations to assert religious freedom claims. In this case that means working women are denied contraception as part of their health plans. But the ruling also raises the specter that the same religious freedom argument could be used to gut minimum wage, civil rights, and other workplace protections."
CLUW President Connie Leak, a member of the AFL-CIO's Committee on Women Workers that drafted the statement had issued one on behalf of CLUW a few weeks ago that included, "We hope American voters remember these court decisions when it comes to voting in federal elections, as it is the President who appoints these justices and the Senate that confirms them."
APWU President Mark Dimondstein who introduced language to strengthen the AFL-CIO's statement today by referencing additional Supreme Court rulings commented, "All three of the Supreme Court decisions (Hobby Lobby, Harris and Noel Canning) are an attack on working class women. The attack on women's rights in the workplace must be viewed as an attack on the rights of all workers."
Dolores Gorczyca, CLUW Executive Vice President who attended the meeting," was very pleased with the response of the Executive Council and the inclusion of the expanded language."
This is not a new issue. In January 2012 President Obama announced his decision to implement a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to cover preventive services, including contraceptives without co-payments or deductibles and immediately the backlash started.
CLUW has been a strong advocate in recognizing women's health care decisions as being a right and not a privilege. Many of those in Congress who are trying to strip away those rights are the same persons who want to deny workers a voice at work. If ever there was a time to mobilize and vote – it is now!!

Future Power Rankings snubs, surprises
But I'm shocked to see Kansas as the lone Big 12 program. Iowa State, thanks to the leadership of Fred Hoiberg, must be included. The Big Ten, which most experts believe is the top conference in America, came in second overall with four teams (Michigan State, Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin).
Gonzaga could be a title contender
Much of this success has come on the back of Mark Few, the nation's winningest active head coach (80.1 percent). But with all that he's accomplished through 15 seasons at the helm, I believe the best is yet to come.
Here's at look at why the 2014-15 Bulldogs may be the top team in school history -- one with a shot to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.

Don't sleep on North Carolina in 2014-15
However, the past two seasons have been out of character for the Heels. They struggled early in 2012-13 without a true low-post scorer. Williams had to adjust Carolina's system by going small and creating matchup problems. Last season, he had to start the season with P.J. Hairston's off-the-court situation hanging over his team. He didn't know whether the NCAA would reinstate Hairston or he would be ruled ineligible for the season. The uncertainty took its toll on the Tar Heels, and although they seemed to come together late in the season, the team eventually lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
But I believe this year will be different.

Most influential systems in college hoops
That's why -- in light of the last week's Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Springfield, Massachusetts -- it's important to remember that many of our greatest college coaches are still impacting the game long after they have retired.
Here are five Hall of Fame coaches whose style of play is being closely mirrored in today's college basketball game with the same kind of success.
Nolan RichardsonStyle of play: "40 Minutes of Hell" full-court pressure
Modern day: Shaka Smart, Virginia Commonwealth Rams
It must make Nolan Richardson happy anytime he watches VCU compete. The Rams employ a full-court pressure defensive system that is very reminiscent of the way Richardson's teams at Tulsa and Arkansas used to play.
While Smart aptly calls his defense "Havoc," havoc is exactly what Richardson's teams created for unprepared opponents. Like VCU's system, "40 Minutes of Hell" employed pressure defense all over the court with traps coming seemingly at random.
In actuality, what looked to be unorganized confusion was a series of well-organized "reads" as to when and where to set up defensive traps. Forcing turnovers, quick shots and speeding opponents up to play at a faster tempo than they would like are more of the similarities between "Havoc" and "40 Minutes of Hell."

Scouting Kentucky's early showcase
While the level of competition wasn't necessarily elite -- two games against the Puerto Rico national team reserves and one against French professional club Champagne Chalons-Reims -- it still gave observers a glimpse into what the team could potentially look like.

Players who deserve more hype
Some of those players make their impact immediately, while others find it to be a process. This is at both high-major programs that consistently play on national television, and at the mid-major level. Each season there are under-recruited players who, when given the opportunity, flourish. This can be as a result of more on-court minutes, better coaching and additional time in the weight room.
While they may not all become high NBA draft selections, the following 12 players are primed for big seasons. Let's take a look at the nation's most underrated players.
2013-14 per game stats: 16.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists
Niang is as complete a player as there is in college. With the graduation of DeAndre Kane and Melvin Ejim, I look for the Cyclones to use Niang at almost every position on the floor and run the offense through him.
The skilled 6-foot-7 forward can score on the block, shoot the 3-pointer and pass. He can drive the ball from the trail spot in transition and puts pressure on the defense as a ball-screener. He is a threat to roll, slip or space for the perimeter shot. An excellent isolation player, Niang does a great job moving his defender to score and does a great job throwing out of double teams. Last season he averaged 3.6 assists per game.

Players poised to step into star roles
Until now, the following eight individuals helped their respective teams but weren't necessarily the top option. However, based on varying circumstances, their role will expand this upcoming season.
Here's a look at eight players who will transition from complementary piece to potential star in 2014-15.
Ryan Boatright, senior, Connecticut Huskies
Boatright's toughness and talent certainly belie his slight 6-foot frame, and he's proved it for three seasons at UConn. To say he was instrumental in the Huskies' run to the 2014 national championship is an understatement. But now he's faced with another challenge: becoming Kevin Ollie's key player.
Boatright shared playmaking duties with Shabazz Napier for much of his first three seasons, deferring much of the time. This season he will be asked by Ollie to take on the biggest share of the ballhandling and scoring load of his career.

Maryland poised for success in Big Ten
Lefty Driesell set out to make the Maryland the UCLA of the East when he took over in 1969. He created Midnight Madness and made Cole Fieldhouse one of the toughest venues in all of college basketball. Gary Williams transitioned the program through the NCAA sanctions he inherited and made consecutive trips to the Final Four, as well as leading the program to 14 NCAA tournament berths, two trips to the Elite Eight and seven Sweet 16 appearances in 22 years in College Park.
As Maryland moves to the Big Ten under head coach Mark Turgeon, it comes off three consecutive seasons with no NCAA tournament appearances. The Terrapins also had had five players leave the program this past spring. Despite this, I feel they have turned the corner and are in position to finish in the upper half of the new conference

The next wave of international talent
With the basketball globe continuing to grow smaller, here are nine players from around the world you need to know about now and in the future.
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Ukraine | 2014-15 team: Kansas Jayhawks
Mykhailiuk appeared on the scene as a late replacement for the Hoop Summit World Team in April, and although he played limited minutes in the game against Team USA, his performances in the practice sessions were impressive enough to alert a number of top programs, including the Jayhawks.

Despite losing Mudiay, SMU is a contender
The Mustangs had a number of breakthrough wins that propelled them into the national spotlight and earned them a Top 25 ranking. SMU swept the eventual national champion Connecticut Huskies and defeated Cincinnati and Memphis by double figures.
The addition of Emmanuel Mudiay, ESPN's No. 5 player in the country, made the Mustangs a fashionable preseason top-10 team and a team many felt was positioned to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
Now Mudiay is set to play overseas. And while there is no doubt that SMU will miss the 6-foot-5 point guard's ability to get in the lane and make plays, the Mustangs should still challenge for an American conference championship.

Why a 24-second shot clock is needed
To many, the idea of reducing the college shot clock from 35 seconds to 24 seconds is sacrilegious. But it makes too much sense to me.
To start: a 24-second clock would be more closely aligned to the NBA, NCAA and FIBA, creating a more cohesive global game.
The NBA has been playing with a 24-second shot clock since the 1954 season. Some might argue that the NBA is able to use a shorter clock since its rosters feature the very best players in the world. But FIBA has been utilizing the shorter clock at every level of basketball too -- including in preteen play. Young FIBA players grow up with an "internal shot clock" in their mind.
With proper instruction, college basketball players would make a quick adjustment to the new rule.

The 24/7 summer grind for a coach
Let's take a look at what a typical college coach goes through from April until September.
April, May and June
April is a time to finish up the current recruiting class and evaluate underclassmen. May begins strength training, individual workouts, individual player meetings, program self-evaluations, official or unofficial underclassmen visits and helping the university with its grass-roots fundraising. Often the school will have as many as 16 events for a coach to attend throughout the institution's geographic footprint. These are full-day events that take you away from your team and family.

My picks for the best of 2014-15
What other programs are set to thrive in 2014-15? Let's break it all down.
Mark Few's club had its lowest offensive efficiency rating this past season since Kenpom.com starting tracking such numbers back in 2002. The Zags finished 51st in the country in OER after 12 seasons, with an average rating of 19th. But things are about to get back to normal in Spokane.
Few's backcourt of four-year starters, Gary Bell Jr. and Kevin Pangos, returns. Even better news is that the two are finally healthy. Pangos suffered through season-long ankle and turf toe issues last season, while Bell Jr. missed nearly a month with a broken right hand. Combined, these two have made 40 percent of their 3-point shots in nearly 1,000 attempts during their careers.

How Calipari manages UK's loaded roster
A funny thing happened this year, though, when potential top picks Willie Cauley-Stein, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison and Alex Poythress decided to return to Lexington as opposed to putting their names in for the NBA draft. They will be joined by the nation's No. 2 overall recruiting class (featuring four players in ESPN's Top 25). What it has created is one of the deepest and most talented teams in college basketball.
How will Calipari manage the rotation? How do you satisfy the expectations and egos of a roster of McDonald's All-Americans?

Profile: Bradley Beal was born June 28, 1993, The McDonalds All- American, attended the University of Florida where he became First team All-SEC.
Pro position: SG/PG
Height: 6' 4.75"
Weight: 201.8
Wingspan: 6' 8"
Standing Reach: 8' 3"
Projected pick: Top-3
Game is Reminiscent of: Eric Gordan/ Jamal Crawford
Strengths: Beal is very Versatile and is very good at creating his own shot. Beal can shoot very well from pretty much anywhere on the court and also can put the ball on the ground and open up more opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Weakness: Beal dominates the ball, although this isn't a big weakness, taking too many shots hurts his teammates more than him. Beal is athletic but not as athletic as some of the more elite SG in the NBA(E.g. Dwyane Wade). He is also inconsistent like most pure shooters and needs to work on showing up on a nightly basis.

Jones has a career mark of 232-151-3 and coached Brian Mitchell at Plaquemine and UL-Lafayette. Mitchell went on to a 13-year NFL career amassing 23,300 all-purpose yards.
Jones says he plans to stay at Woodlawn as a teacher for the remainder of the school year.

Looking for the proof of the lemma asserting that the conical surface (envelope) is a closed space. Thank you.
We are talking here about the convex cone $C:={\rm co}(A)$ spanned by a finite set $A$ of vectors $a\in {\mathbb R}^n$. Consider an arbitrary point $x\in C$. It has a representation $x=\sum_{i=1}^m \lambda_i a_i$ with $a_i\in A$, $\lambda_i>0$ and minimal $m$. I claim that the $a_i$ occurring in this representation are linearly independent. (This is essentially Caratheodory's theorem.)
Proof: If one had $\sum_{i=1}^m \mu_i a_i=0$, where not all $\mu_i$ are $0$, then after rearranging one may assume that for some $s\leq m$ one has $$\mu_i\leq 0 \quad (1\leq i\leq s-1), \qquad \mu_i > 0 \quad (s\leq i\leq m), \qquad {\lambda_i\over\mu_i}\geq {\lambda_m\over\mu_m} \quad (s\leq i\leq m).$$ It follows that $$x=\sum_{i=1}^{m-1} (\lambda_i-{\lambda_m\over\mu_m} \mu_i) a_i$$ were a representation of $x$ with nonnegative coefficients using at most $m-1$ of the $a_i$.
Now the cone spanned by a linearly independent set of $m$ vectors $a_i$ is homeomorphic to the set $$\{x\in {\mathbb R}^n\ |\ x_i\geq 0 \ (1\leq i\leq m), \ x_i=0 \ (m+1\leq i\leq n)\}$$ which is clearly a closed set. As $C$ is a union of finitely many such sets it is closed as well.
The lemma is saying :
The conical (set, envelope,shell) of a finite family(set) of p vectors in R^n is a closed set.
I put many terms between brackets , cause I'm not sure of the terminology (sorry for that), I'm translating from french (enveloppe conique).
To precise I can give the mathematical definition of the conical envelope:
The conical envelope co{X 1 , · · · , X p } is a family of vectors (arrays) {X 1 , . . . , X p } where :
co{X1 , . . . , X p} = {X | ∃λi ≥ 0, i = 1, . . . , p, v=∑ λi X i, 1<=i<=p }

SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Tim Duncan scored 10 points and made seven rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs took a 50-44 halftime lead over Miami Heat in Game Three of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals on Tuesday.
Duncan scored the game's opening basket and the hosts never relinquished the lead, which they stretched to 11 points when Gary Neal drained his third three-pointer with about four minutes left in the half.
Neal had 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting, including a three-pointer at the halftime buzzer, for the Spurs, who are in the Finals for the first time since winning their fourth NBA championship in 2007.
Dwyane Wade had 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting with five assists and three steals for the Heat, who are looking for their second consecutive NBA title.
The best-of-seven championship series is tied 1-1 with Game Four scheduled for Thursday in San Antonio.

IRVING, Texas – When the Cowboys officially hired Mike Pope to become the new tight ends coach on Wednesday afternoon, their star player at the position was in Hawaii.
And that's how it should be, right? The goal for all positions is to have the best player, or two, in the Pro Bowl. And that's where
I guess if the Redskins can hire a position coach within the division, the Cowboys can do the same. The Cowboys saw Washington grab Phillips and his seven years of his experience and raised them with Pope, who has spent the last 14 with the Giants and 31 overall in the NFL, mostly as a tight ends coach.
So this is arguably one of the best in the business.
Good for Witten, huh? Yes, probably, but that's not the issue here.
Let's be honest. I think most of us could coach Jason Witten. In fact, Witten coaches himself. That's no disrespect to the guys before him who have been his position coach. And he's had five of them, so that would be a great deal of disrespect. But how much coaching do you need to do with Witten, a guy who pushes himself as hard as any coach could ever push him?
Even Phillips told me last year how Witten makes him a better coach because he studies the game so much that you can't talk over his head.
But Pope entered the league in 1983 as the Giants tight ends coach for Bill Parcells. Witten had just turned 1. So he can teach him a few things still.
But the real reason Pope is here is for
If there's one thing Pope is known for, it's his ability to develop young tight ends. Yes, he's coached 31 years in the league, but he's still put five tight ends on the All-Rookie team.
Think about that. While five of 31 doesn't sound that great, remember what it is. He's molding young rookies who are then playing and have successful careers. It's not like you're going to have a top rookie each year.
Guys like Mark Bavaro, Howard Cross and Zeke Mowatt with the Giants, then Tony McGee with the Bengals and, of course, Jeremy Shockey all had stellar rookie seasons under Pope.
And although Martellus Bennett wasn't a rookie in 2012, he still enjoyed a breakout season with the Giants after his four-year stint in Dallas. Bennett had 55 catches for 626 yards and five touchdowns, which helped him earn another contract with the Bears last year.
And who knows, I'm sure Pope can help develop
I guess I wrote this because I've had several people on twitter comment about this hiring with stuff like "how hard could this job be … throw it to Witten."
Obviously there's more to it than that. But the Cowboys drafted Escobar in the second round with thoughts that he could potentially take over for Witten whenever that time comes.
And the hiring of Pope could be the move that allows that to happen.

I can't help to think there is more intelligent life elsewhere. There has to be....
As we just are too stupid to find it yet.
I hope we live to see proof....just so the backwards amongst us eat crow.

So much for fighting for freedom of speech and American values..
Seems to me that perhaps the US military is protecting a country that is against human rights and against freedom of speech.
But I am sure this article is trolling. I say this as I can't believe a US warship doesn't already have encrypted Internet channels back to DC. Sounds like a hoax.
Easiest way is for getting a world phone with data capabilities and don't use the local fascist government repression of the peoples systems.
First, you have to prove it was mankind and is harmful. Let me toss some facts:
Recent melting glaciers in BC contain trees only 7600 years old. This means the ice isn't long time permanent. Be you creationist or evolutionist man survived and multiplied well 7600 years ago with a warmer climate. Most of the antarctic and arctic ice is recent ice as in less than 10,000 years old. Human species evolved when it was warmer.
Mars polar caps, Io ice melts, my SUT did it? Hm, prove it. There is a stellar component and tax-me-more eco freaks ignore the obvious. Ignore sunspots and stellar activities? Come now. Seelctive science is generally junk science.
Hey, I will not even argue warming exists!!! But is it bad to have say NWT turn into farm-able and livable land? Or ferns to grow again on the north slope of Alaska?
Let me ask, why does eco junk science always talk of gloom and doom for tax bucks? Yep, it is about the money for most eco freaks, it isn't about empirical unbiased opens science at all. Just political BSing the outlook for fear taxes today. 99% of what we are fed in the media is political jousting in the ruse of science, about money, taxes and power. Pretty hard to sort it out too.
People are getting sick of the BS and shutting down. Be it right or wrong.
I will simplify it for you.
Just more government-union greed.
Postal codes are by defacto public information. Just desperate for money Posties want a royalty. Should just say stuff it.
Just keep their hands off of VirtualBox.
On the personal level I stopped using VMWare 5 years ago. VMWare might be good in some business situations on monster boxen, but on a stand alone desktop or even small/mid server VMWare is overkill bloat when VitualBox does really good at this.
Always nice to know where the boobs are, but how few people realize how much information can be embedded into photographs and videos....GPS, host keys, IP addresses including upstream routers, your name and anything else it can get/has in it. Can be obfuscated or encrypted too so don't rely in "strings" to detect it.
It is deliberate too as many manufacturers embed this. Microsoft will on any video it touches. And a lot of times it isn't obvious, might be your host key where Microsoft can lookup your IP and registration, maybe right back to the store you bought it and credit card you used. Can be done with SIP phone calls too.
Even hackers miss it.
And why open source is only source I trust with critical stuff even though I don't do anything wrong.....while it too isn't perfect, it isn't as lame on personal security as many commercial devices and OSes.
They will not bother, US Surpreme court or any is just to slow and it gets leaked to the world.
RCMP and CSIS are above the law. This is more like a ruse to come clean. Wasn't just USA that had McCarthyism. Canada is a statism state, between Saudi and USA. Government in Canada has monitored Canadians without warrants for 5+ decades at least.
Cops here can spy on anyone except the corrupt MPs, judges and the well connected. General population is wide open.
BTW, RCMP only get their man if it is politically approved.
I just wish they showed the cars up close afterwards. While both are trashed, it's clear from the video that the A pillar just collapses on the Bel Air and the driver is probably crushed to death. Showing that (or whatever you can film) versus the still mostly intact cockpit of the Malibu would have driven the point home really well.
It isn't really a fair comparison. Years of rust, fatigue, grinding and polishing. The Bel Air is a graceful but very old lady. Then you put it against a newer Malibu is like having a 17 year old go after the 95 year old grandmother. Who do you think will win?
But in any case, pretty safe bet not many of today's Malibu vehicles, if any at all, will make it 51 years in running order. It certainly doesn't have the class.
