Trusted scholars behind Trustee Scholars Awards
Date: October 31, 2012
by: Mallory Gnaegy | A&E Editor
An invitation arrived in the mail for the 18th annual Trustee Scholar Awards. "Creating a Masterpiece" was inscribed across the front with framed silhouettes of 12 trustee scholars. It's the kind of invitation that leaves an impression and piques curiosity — as did the actual program Oct. 17.
In the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota, two large video screens sat on either side of a narrow stage filled with elegant and eclectic chairs staggered in three rows. Trustee scholars sat in each of these chairs and told their stories.
Being named a trustee scholar is the highest honor at Ringling. These seniors are the cream of the crop, nominated by faculty based on talent, contributions and leadership.
After each scholar told his story, part of the elegant curtained wall behind them dropped to reveal an 18-foot-by-12-foot photo of the group.
In 18 years, this was the first time the students created something together. Past years featured individual photos of students, but nothing created by them as a collaboration. The concept for the masterpiece was for a group photo of the well-dressed scholars to suggest the transformation that takes place at Ringling and to show the caliber of students the college produces.
Ringling seniors Dehne Sibbernsen and Dylan Johnston were the two scholars selected to head not only the masterpiece project, but also plan the event's program — each spending more than 120 hours to bring it all to life.
"Everything that you see tonight was produced by a Ringling student," says Sibbernsen. The intention was to show the progression of a student from a freshman to a senior master — hence, the unveiling of the masterpiece.
"It was like a class of its own," Johnston says.
The two Ringling scholars conceptualized the masterpiece, scouted the photo shoot location, contacted businesses to donate furniture, set up the shoot and planned the awards program. They oversaw every element and put their leadership skills to the test by directing a team of 10 crew members responsible for wardrobe, lighting design, makeup and photography.
The shoot was inspired by photographer Annie Lebowitz's work. It was high fashion and looks like a spread in Vogue, with students wearing Chanel suits sitting on expensive furniture and Persian rugs, with the backdrop of the rusticated future home of Sarasota Museum of Modern Art on the Sarasota High School campus.
"There were paint chips literally falling off as the breeze was blowing in," Sibbernsen says.
The group finagled its way onto the third floor, which was originally off-limits and isn't air-conditioned.
But the duo had a hand in the smaller photo shoot decisions, too.
"Down to — who are we going to have with rose lips? … to whose bow-tie is tied, and whose isn't tied?" Sibbernsen says.
Johnston directed the team shooting the photos, setting up the lights and the designing and constructing the set. He also oversaw the 35 gigabytes of photos that resulted from the shoot.
"I was art directing the shoot, but I was actually in the photo also," Johnston says. "I had to run to look at the laptop and then get back in my spot."
There was a lot of running around during the two days and more than 30 hours the shoot took place. And they did it on top of attending class and working on their theses.
Murmurs from the audience of "That was the best one yet," "How neat!" and "Wait, students did this?" suggested the final result was worth the effort.
"I kind of left my mark," Johnston says. "I was really happy to do it; to be picked for this. It was a huge honor."
Sibbernsen nods his head in agreement.
"How we took an idea and to see it come to full fruition, to see the manifestation of the whole idea ... " Sibbernsen says trailing off.
The students' masterpiece speaks for itself.

ESPN Deportes broadcasters awed by trip to Cooperstown
By Craig Muder
Kevin Cabral and Carlos Jose Lugo traveled more than 1,500 miles from the Dominican Republic to Cooperstown.
But once inside the Baseball Hall of Fame, the two ESPN Deportes broadcasters felt right at home.
"I stepped inside this building and felt just like a little boy," said the 40-year-old Cabral, who does play-by-play for ESPN Deportes. "For anyone who loves baseball, this is the place to be."
Cabral and Lugo, who visited the Hall of Fame on March 13, made a special stop in the Plaque Gallery to check out the plaque of Juan Marichal, the only Hall of Famer from the Dominican Republic. The pair also quickly found the ball on display from Marichal's 1963 no-hitter against Houston — the first Major League no-hitter thrown by a Latin-American pitcher.
"'Don Juan' is royalty in the Dominican Republic," Cabral said. "Not just for what he did on the field, but for the way he carries himself off the field."
The accomplishments of Marichal and other Latin-American stars will be celebrated with the opening of the Hall of Fame's new exhibit �Viva Baseball! on May 23.
Craig Muder is director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
3 Comments
Pretty random, but I really hope Dale Murphy and Lee Smith get into the Hall. Both two great players getting zero support.
That is a great idea for that new exhibit.
That sounds like a great exhibit. The Latin-American contribution to the game is immense, and continues to be that way. I will always remember all the Jays that have come and gone from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. They were a big part of the team in the 80's and early 90's.

Cushing disease is a condition in which the pituitary gland releases too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). The pituitary gland is an organ of the endocrine system .
Cushing disease is a form of Cushing syndrome .
Pituitary Cushing disease
Cushing disease is caused by a tumor or excess growth (hyperplasia ) of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain. A type of pituitary tumor called an adenoma is the most common cause. An adenoma is almost always benign (not a cancer).
With Cushing disease, the pituitary gland releases too much ACTH. ACTH stimulates production and release of cortisol, a stress hormone. Too much ACTH causes the adrenal glands to make too much cortisol.
Cortisol is normally released during stressful situations. It controls the body's use of carbohydrates , fats, and proteins and also helps reduce the immune system's response to swelling (inflammation).
Symptoms of Cushing disease include:
Skin changes that are often seen include:
Muscle and bone changes include:
Women often have:
Men may have:
Other symptoms may include:
Tests are done to confirm there is too much cortisol in the body, then to determine the cause.
These tests confirm too much cortisol:
These tests determine cause:
Other tests that may be done include any of the following:
Treatment involves surgery to remove the pituitary tumor, if possible. After surgery, the pituitary gland may slowly start to work again and return to normal.
During the recovery process, you may need cortisol replacement treatments. Radiation treatment of the pituitary gland may also be used if the tumor is not completely removed.
If the tumor does not respond to surgery or radiation, you may need medicines to stop your body from making cortisol.
If these treatments are not successful, the adrenal glands may need to be removed to stop the high levels of cortisol from being produced.
Untreated, Cushing disease can cause severe illness, even death. Removal of the tumor may lead to full recovery, but the tumor can grow back.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of Cushing disease.
If you have had a pituitary tumor removed, call if you have signs of complications, including signs that the tumor has returned.

Give Us an A, B, and C
"A" is for anemone, "B" is for bumble bee and "C" is for coneflower.
A visit to the Oregon state capitol grounds in Salem last Tuesday found scores of yellow-faced bumble bees (Bombus vosnesenskii) working the anemones and purple coneflowers.
While some bumble bee species are endangered or instinct, not the yellow-faced bumble bees. Let's hope they never are.
The anemone, a member of the buttercup family, is Greek for "daughter of the wind." The purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) is a member of the aster family; Echinos is Greek for "hedgehog."
A look at the spiky flowers will tell you why.

- Pluto: a Monte Carlo simulation tool for hadronic physics (2007)
- Pluto is a Monte-Carlo event generator designed for hadronic interactions from Pion production threshold to intermediate energies of a few GeV per nucleon, as well as for studies of heavy ion reactions. The package is entirely based on ROOT, without the need of additional packages, and uses the embedded C++ interpreter of ROOT to control the event production. The generation of events based on a single reaction chain and the storage of the resulting particle objects can be done with a few lines of a ROOT-macro. However, the complete control of the package can be taken over by the steering macro and user-defined models may be added without a recompilation of the framework. Multi-reaction cocktails can be facilitated as well using either mass-dependent or user-defined static branching ratios. The included physics uses resonance production with mass-dependent Breit-Wigner sampling. The calculation of partial and total widths for resonances producing unstable particles is performed recursively in a coupled-channel approach. Here, particular attention is paid to the electromagnetic decays, motivated by the physics program of HADES. The thermal model supports 2-component thermal distributions, longitudinal broadening, radial blast, direct and elliptic flow, and impact-parameter sampled multiplicities. The interface allows angular distribution models (e.g. for the primary meson emission) to be attached by the user as well as descriptions of multi-particle correlations using decay chain templates. The exchange of mass sampling or momentum generation models is also possible. The first feature allows for consistent coupled-channel calculations, needed for a correct description of hadronic interactions. For elementary reactions, angular distribution models for selected channels are already part of the framework, based on parameterizations of existing data. This report gives an overview of the design of the package, the included models and the user interface.
- A versatile method for simulating pp -> ppe+e- and dp -> pne+e-p_spec reactions (2010)
- We have developed a versatile software package for the simulation of di-electron production in pp and dp collisions at moderate beam kinetic energies (1-2GeV). Particular attention has been paid to incorporate different descriptions of the Dalitz decay Δ rightarrow Ne + e - via a common interface. In addition, suitable parameterizations for the virtual bremsstrahlung process NN rightarrow NNe + e - based on one-boson exchange models have been implemented. Such simulation tools with high flexibility of the framework are important for the interpretation of the di-electron data taken with the HADES spectrometer and demonstrates the wide applicability within the field of nuclear and hadronic physics.
- Status of the Micro Vertex Detector of the Compressed Baryonic Matter Experiment (2010)
- The CBM experiment will investigate heavy-ion collisions at beam energies from 8 to 45 AGeV at the future accelerator facility FAIR. The goal of the experiment is to study the QCD phase diagram in the vincinity of the QCD critical point. To do so, CBM aims at measuring rare probes among them open charm. In order to identify those rare and short lived particles despite the rich combinatorial background generated in heavy ion collisions, a micro vertex detector (MVD) providing an unprecedented combination of high rate capability and radiation hardness, very light material budget and excellent granularity is required. In this work, we will discuss the concept of this detector and summarize the status of the R&D.
- Study of exclusive one-pion and one-eta production using hadron and dielectron channels in pp reactions at kinetic beam energies of 1.25 GeV and 2.2 GeV with HADES (2012)
- We present measurements of exclusive ensuremathπ+,0 and η production in pp reactions at 1.25GeV and 2.2GeV beam kinetic energy in hadron and dielectron channels. In the case of π+ and π0 , high-statistics invariant-mass and angular distributions are obtained within the HADES acceptance as well as acceptance-corrected distributions, which are compared to a resonance model. The sensitivity of the data to the yield and production angular distribution of Δ (1232) and higher-lying baryon resonances is shown, and an improved parameterization is proposed. The extracted cross-sections are of special interest in the case of pp → pp η , since controversial data exist at 2.0GeV; we find \ensuremathσ=0.142±0.022 mb. Using the dielectron channels, the π0 and η Dalitz decay signals are reconstructed with yields fully consistent with the hadronic channels. The electron invariant masses and acceptance-corrected helicity angle distributions are found in good agreement with model predictions.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Gov. Sam Brownback has appointed former Republican Senate Majority Leader Jay Emler to fill a vacancy on the Kansas Corporation Commission.
The appointment was announced Wednesday, less than a week before the start of the 2014 legislative session.
Emler, if confirmed by the Senate, would resign his seat and serve a four-year term on the KCC. He will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mark Sievers, who announced he was leaving the KCC in December.
Emler has been in the Senate since 2001, representing Chase, Ellsworth, Marion, McPherson and Morris counties. He serves on the Senate Utilities Committee and the Joint Committee on Kansas Security.
The three-member KCC regulates natural gas, electricity, telephone and transportation operations in Kansas.

Forecast sees slow economic growth in New England
Thursday, December 6, 2012
BOSTON (AP) -- A new report predicts continued sluggish economic growth in New England and cautions that most states in the region will not return to pre-recession employment levels until 2015. The four-year forecast released Wednesday by the New England Economic Partnership says Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont will have the strongest economies in the six-state region, while Rhode Island will continue to experience the highest unemployment. The economists said Maine and Connecticut will also struggle to reach pre-recession jobs levels before the end of 2016. The forecast assumes some sort of compromise in the ongoing "fiscal cliff" negotiations, but warns that New England -- because of its higher than average per capita income -- could be hit harder than the nation as a whole if there is no deal and taxes go up. |

I'm screwed if it doesn't happen...Facing the inevitable today according to experts on the Mayan Calendar, I've already indulged in 17 burgers, 4 x-large pizzas, 23 orders of fries and 2 entire Black Forest cakes...It's either the apocalypse or a coronary for me. It was nice meeting all of you.
Mike, now I know what that rumbling sound was, your stomach, but what is even more curious is the lack of a suitable liquid in your list .Mark
It was nice meeting all of you.
Mark, How bad was the rumbling in SR? Sausalito shook pretty good.
It already happened yesterday in New Zealand, and my sources there indicate light rain in the morning, heavy beverage consumption in the evening, but no sign of impending doom. The Mayan cycle begins anew with no more trouble than leap year for us. Carry on.

quote:There is no longer a viable excuse for the rich not to play a nine-game conference schedule. The SEC mansion needs quality competitive furnishings, not knock-offs from the FCS thrift store. The Pac-12 is doing it now. So is the 10-team Big 12, which doesn't have a title game and doesn't need one with everyone playing every opponent in the regular season. The Big Ten formally announced last month that it is headed to nine games in 2016.
quote:I want to know if this guy has always been a retard, or if he caught it when he went to yahoo sports.
quote: nine-game schedule.
quote:I'm for it.
quote:I believe any true and secure SEC fan (or LSU fan) would have to be absolutely in favor a 9 game SEC schedule.
quote:You realize the only possible reason they would decide to go to 9 games is to protect the permanent opponents, right?
quote:As it stands now, top SEC teams schedule good games outside of the conference. A 9 game SEC schedule will incentivize scheduling worse OOC teams. The less good teams the SEC plays OOC, the easier for idiots like Pat Forde to claim that the SEC is not the premier conference.
quote:I've read about scenarios in which a team could choose to play one permanent cross-divisional opponant while rotating two opponants, and everyone else could rotate three. Don't know what the logistics would be, but it might work.

At one point, roughly a year ago, Fortune 500 giant Intel Corp. put a hold on all trade-show exhibitions enterprise-wide; rather than exhibiting … Read More

It is potentially one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the history of Christianity, the ruins of one of the oldest monasteries in Europe. Here, under the location where the altar once stood, scientists have dug up an exquisite marble box holding what they believe to be the bones of John the Baptist, the man who baptized Jesus. If the date of the bones lines up with the Bible's profile of John, could it finally solve the mystery of what happened to his remains after his beheading, 2,000 years ago?
Not available for shipment outside of the U.S. and Canada.

More Fun, Less Fighting

Your Impulse: Hash it out, then and there
A Smarter Strategy: Declare a truce
It's human nature: We want arguments resolved now, not days from now. But it's better not to act in the heat of the moment with teens, as Bobbie Paulson found out. At the end of a frustrating day, the mom of three recently shouted to her teenagers, "If you don't pick up your shoes, I'll put them in the donation bag!" True to her word, the Franklin Park, PA, mom got a bag and started tossing shoes into it. "But it dawned on me: My kids won't have any shoes, and I'm the one who'll need to buy new ones!"
It's almost always better to revisit the argument a day or two later, when you're both calm, says Karen Ruskin, Psy.D., author of The 9 Key Techniques for Raising Respectful Children. Take your teen out for pizza, a walk in the park, or a long drive with no phones or texting. Start by saying, "You and I both know we have a problem." Let your child share her point of view, then validate her feelings and, Ruskin says, "emphasize that all the arguing isn't good for you as individuals or as a family. Suggest that you develop a plan together; if you don't do it then and there, set a time to collaborate. Then shake hands and move on."
Your Impulse: Come down hard and show her who's boss
A Smarter Strategy: Make a deal
You're not a wimpy parent if you occasionally bargain with your kid, says Borba your teen is more likely to comply with rules she helped set up. It's even OK to bluff a little. Say your ultimate goal is a curfew of 10 P.M.: Start with a lowball offer of 8:30 P.M. and let your teen negotiate up. "Of course, you have to know what your ultimate stopping point is," says Borba. "And never negotiate on items you don't want to give your teen a choice about." Bonus: You may be helping her learn to be assertive--an excellent trait. A recent University of Virginia study showed that teens who stood their ground and calmly argued various points with their parents were also better able to fend off peer pressure to use drugs and alcohol.
Your Impulse: Walk away from your teen when he gets in your face
A Smarter Strategy: Get physically close to him
Many parents argue with their kids from another room. But if you're not close by, kids feel they're being spoken at instead of with."We all listen better when we see the other person," says Ruskin. "If you're not making eye contact, teens get the message, 'We're not on the same team,' and their instinct is to push you away." So get up close and personal to forge and then preserve some peace.
3 Tactics That Won't Work (So Don't Bother)
Sarcasm: Parents may resort to sarcastic comments hoping to make a point, but it sets a precedent that can lead teens to fire back equally smart-aleck comments, says Janet Sasson Edgette, Psy.D., author of Stop Negotiating With Your Teen. "If you want respect, you need to be respectful to them."
Strolling Down Memory Lane: Stories about how you never would have gotten away with their behavior when you were their age are so cliché, they just lessen your credibility, says Klungness.
Name-Calling: When you label your kid (e.g., "How can you be so lazy?"), you move into dangerous territory, says Ruskin. "If a kid hears that often enough, those traits become part of his character." Instead, reframe the same idea positively: "I know how busy you are, but you're also part of a team here at home."

Puberty is the time during which a person's sexual and physical characteristics mature. Precocious puberty is when these body changes happen earlier than normal.
Pubertas praecox
Puberty usually begins between ages 8 and 14 for girls and ages 9 and 16 for boys.
The exact age a child enters puberty depends on a number of factors, including family history, nutrition, and gender.
Often there is no clear cause for precocious puberty. Some cases are due to changes in the brain, genetic problems, or certain tumors that release hormones. These conditions include:
In girls, precocious puberty is when any of the following develop before age 8:
In boys, precocious puberty is when any of the following develop before age 9:
The doctor will perform a physical exam to check for signs of precocious puberty.
Tests that may be ordered include:
Depending on the cause, treatment for precocious puberty may include:
Children who go through puberty too early may not reach their full height because growth stops too early.
Children with early sexual development may have psychological and social problems. Children and adolescents want to be the same as their peers. Early sexual development can make them appear different. Parents can support their child by explaining the condition and how the doctor plans to treat it.

IT security threats emerge from a variety of different sources and origins, most of which - but not necessarily all - are external to the organisation concerned. This means businesses need to ensure they have adequate safeguards in place, in terms of firewalls, anti-virus and anti-malware solutions, in order to mitigate risk where possible.
Internal IT security threats pose a slightly different challenge. This is where the malicious acts of employees or ex-employees - or human error - causes systems to be compromised, potentially causing sensitive information to be exposed. Companies need to put safeguards in place to limit the damage individual workers can cause, and part of this involves engaging with them on security issues.
Clearly if a worker intends to do harm to their organisation - and has the required skill and clearance to do so - businesses are left exposed. But the majority of internal security risks are not malicious; they are caused by error. As such, firms have the opportunity to take a proactive approach to reducing security risks, by engaging with their staff in the first instance and preventing costly mistakes from occurring.
Involving employees at an early stage
Business and IT leaders seeking to shut the door on security breaches should ask themselves if they are doing everything possible to guard their systems and data? Do they have technology solutions in place to defend their systems? And do employees know how to use them, and how their own actions can impact upon levels of IT security?
According to Malcolm Harkins, chief information security officer at Intel, many organisations can still do more to protect their IT infrastructure and confidential data. He claimed that many firms are forgetting a crucial step as they implement security policies - they are failing to properly articulate security goals to their employees.
Speaking to Computerworld, he highlighted the importance of employees adhering to IT security best practice, but also understanding why it exists in the first place.
"Compliance is necessary, but it's not sufficient," he told the news provider, arguing that employees must fully engage with the security plan in order to meet their own personal responsibilities. "If they're committed to doing the right thing and protecting the company, and if they're provided with the right information, then they'll make reasonable risk decisions," Mr Harkins stated.
Taking nothing for granted
But it is important to remember that not all employees are technically-minded, and they will not necessarily have any prior skills or knowledge about security issues. As such, company bosses cannot take anything for granted. They need to ensure rigorous training is available for staff lacking knowledge and understanding in this area, and that all employees participate in reminder/top-up sessions to keep this knowledge in the forefront of their minds.
Undoubtedly, the way employees receive IT security information has a bearing on its practical application. Mr Harkins said it is important for organisations to put IT security threats into context, in order that staff fully understand the processes involved in securing systems and the role they need to play. "You don't want to spin information security compliance as fear," he noted. "Fear is like junk food - it can sustain you for a bit, but in the long run, it's not healthy." He urged companies to articulate security threats in a way that is relevant to the department people are working in, allowing each individual arm of the business to do whatever is necessary to reduce risk.
Weighing up risk and opportunity
There is an obvious need for businesses to mitigate online security threats using technology solutions and best practice operational processes. But at the same time, decision makers need to ensure the measures put in place do not have an overly adverse impact on employee productivity. Simply saying to staff "do not go online" or "do not use mobile technology" will significantly reduce a company's IT security exposure, but it will also be very much to the detriment of company output and profitability.
Mr Harkins explained that a balance needs to be struck, where systems are secure but employees have the freedom and flexibility they need to add value to their organisation. For instance, they may be allowed to use personal tablets and smartphones on company networks, but only devices that are approved by the IT team. And they may be able to carry data off-site on the same devices, providing it is encrypted and the individual has remote wipe functionality should the handset be lost or stolen.
"The more drag you put on information flow, the slower the business velocity, which also creates strategic risk issues," Mr Harkins noted. This is why Intel adopted the mantra "protect to enable" three years ago, he told Computerworld. Mr Harkins said the priority is not to lock down IT assets, but to ensure employees can do their jobs to the best of their ability with a "reasonable level" of IT security protection in place. He said this requires input from the IT team, a clear understanding of overall business goals and priorities, and clear communication throughout the organisation where security is concerned.

What is Lacoste L!VE and what's it all about?
Lacoste L!VE is a standalone brand. It's not a sub-brand or sister brand but a brand in its own right, with its own identity and culture. Like Lacoste Sportswear, it's inspired by the heritage of Lacoste, but takes a new view of things.
Why was it created?
To respond to a new young and demanding clientele that was emerging and to simply make the brand more youthful.
Do you see Lacoste L!VE as an extension of the brand's heritage?
To an extent, yes. We like to have a fresh take on the crocodile, and play with the codes of the brand whilst respecting them - namely humour, colour and sport. We always keep a sporty silhouette, and we stay true to heritage materials like maille piqué. It's our thing!
Do you feel that you're moving the brand forward?
We like to test many new things in terms of style and techniques. In terms of spirit, we try to pioneer like Renée Lacoste did. This way, we're simply evolving the mentality.
What inspires you?
The heritage of the brand more than anything. We like to dig in the archives and rediscover classics. This is extremely inspiring in itself, there's so much to work with! It might be in Renée Lacoste's story or in the people who wore the brand. Elsewhere, ideas come from a music, ethnic or graphic background. Anything that's interesting basically. Nevertheless, we always try to tell a story through what we create. Anything can be inspiring, it just depends on your angle.
What's the creative process at Lacoste L!VE?
It's very image-based. We research like investigative journalists. We go to musuems, and trawl films and the internet to find that perfect story to tell through the brand.
What would you say is Lacoste L!VE's audience?
If I had to define a demographic, I would say young urban types between the ages of 18 - 30. In reality though, I'd say people who are interested in what we're interested in. People with personality.
What makes the brand relevant today?
It's for young people, by young people. We call on the best emerging and established talent. We don't imitate. We are what we do and vice versa. We live and breathe what we create everyday. It's not made up, it's just us.
How does it differ from other brands out there?
We're authentic and true to ourselves. We're not really dictated by the market. We move with our interests. We're motivated by feeding the legend of Lacoste every season so there's a sense of continuation, despite the reinvention.
Would you say the brand is more than a brand?
It's a culture, as much as a brand. We work with people with a similar mindset and with similar interests. So it's perhaps a lifestyle too. When we're working, we like to think that we're creating the archives of tomorrow. Where we're heading with exhibitions and one-off events also means that the brand is expanding into a more experiential territory, which is exciting for everyone involved.

The incredible fact is that the boiling point of water, mass defect, Planck implied energy and, the elementary charge are near fractal multiples of one another. |
Different Planets as Unit 1.0:
The conjecture Ax + By = Cz made by Mr. Andrew Beal is concerned with the common prime factor for positive integers and their exponents. "If ,ax + by = cz , where A,B,C, x, y and z, are positive integers x, y and z are all greater than 2, then A, B and C must have a common prime factor." [Mauldin, 1997] This represents the original wording of the Beal Conjecture. The Beal Conjecture requires positive integers in the terms [A, B, C] and exponents [x, y, z] of the equation (the latter whose value must be greater than 2). The products of the terms must reflect the selfsame multiplication of the terms in whole numbers or positive integers. Obviously, no fractional expressions are to appear in any of the three terms or three exponents of the equation. And, the most significant part of the conjecture affirms the necessity that the terms share a common prime divisor. Or, to the contrary, present counterexamples. |
In our view, the concept of a counterexample stipulated by the Beal Conjecture is simply impossible by definition. An equation with co-prime terms cannot have positive integer terms and exponents, as stipulated, given the very definition of primes and co-primes, and their multiples. If a co-prime pair of terms (divisible only by the greater common denominator of 1) were to exist, then that would represent a counterexample in our view. Now, the fact that the conjecture may wish to see a counterexample with all exponents as whole numbers (as well as the terms) is simply expecting something that cannot derive from co-primes and their relationship in the cited equation. We shall explain the reason for this as of the concept of selfsame addition of terms. The argument made in this essay is directed at the system of notation that we have inherited throughout history, based upon, in this case, the limiting method of selfsame multiplication of terms. In that sense, these observations go beyond the Beal Conjecture. The insight posed by Mr. Andrew Beal in his conjecture serves as encouragement for looking at old problems in a new light. We are simply attempting to peel back the first layer of algebraic notation in order to emphasize the relations occurring behind the symbolic language. And, in our mind, that is precisely what Mr. Beal has afforded in launching such a critical conjecture. ..... more |
The physics paradigm today is based mainly upon the concept of c-square, the squaring of the speed of light in a vacuum. Numerous fundamental physical and chemical constants provided in the physics literature [CODATA] reflect numerical values based upon powers of c, the speed of light in vacuo. The speed of light in a vacuum is determined to represent the upper limit of movement of mass|energy by physicists. |
The upper speed limit for a light photon is 299792458 meters/second. The square of that number produces a numerical value that does not exist in any form of matter-energy. The c-square actually represents a number that corresponds to a near massless event: a light photon. The author goes beyond a critique of Albert Einstein's famous formula based upon this unreal number. The rejection of Einstein's formula is explored through basic math, the summation of powers in the equation's terms. |

The UK is facing a severe shortage of professionals with the required IT security skills, it has been claimed.
Eugene Kaspersky, founder of spyware firm Kaspersky Lab, has called for additional training for young people, in a bid to increase the number entering the industry.
He said there are not enough skilled professionals to go around - and this is likely to have an inflationary impact on salaries.
"These experts are going to become the new footballers," Mr Kaspersky predicted, as reported by the Guardian.
"Governments have to recognise this as a big problem."
Speaking to the news provider, Stephanie Daman, head of Cyber Security Challenge UK, said the IT security industry needs "kids with raw talent in things like problem solving".
"One of the most important messages we need to get across is that cyber-security is a proper career, and it is not just for geeks," she stated.
Ms Daman said it is important to get away from that image, and encourage a much broader range of people to get involved.
With the UK suffering from an apparent shortage of IT security professionals, the importance of vendor-led product support continues to increase.
On the plus side, IT analyst IDC recently reported a 7.2 per cent rise in global spending on security appliances for the final three months of 2012.
With PC users facing a number of external threats when using the internet, news of increased spending on protective security solutions must be seen as a positive for the industry.
IDC said shipments increased 5.2 per cent to 538,428 units as more companies and home PC users invested in security appliances.
Asia/Pacific continued to see the highest growth at 18 per cent year-over-year, with a 19.3 per cent rise in Q4 2012. Western Europe growth also picked up in the final quarter of 2012, with factory revenue rising 3.9 per cent on year-on-year basis.
"Typical fourth quarter seasonality seemed to help the market a bit, with overall growth picking up thanks to end-of-year initiatives on the vendor side and budget flush on the buyer side," said John Grady, research manager for security products at IDC.
"Organisations continue to prioritise security within their overall IT budget. With advanced, targeted threats a growing concern, IDC expects continued high single-digit growth in the security appliance segment."
