When I plot(cos(2*x^2)) the plot doesn't look right. The graph area between -7 and -8 jumps and similarily on the positive x-axis. It doesn't appear to affect values just the visualization of graphs. If you plot(cos(2*x^2),x=-7..-8) the graph is fine.
As a follow-up to the original post, I thought I'd mention a few of the additional new features particular to math education. For more information, visit the What's New section of the website.

I am a relatively new user of Maple, and I try to solve numerically the following PDE system :
> pde01 := diff(c(z, t), t) = (diff(c(z, t), z, z))-(diff(c(z, t), z))+k*(a-c(z, t));
> pde02 := diff(b(z, t), t) = (diff(b(z, t), z, z))-(diff(b(z, t), z))+k*(a-b(z, t));
> cl1 := c(0, t) = piecewise(t <= 0.3, 100, 0.3 < t and t <=0 .5, 200, 0.5 < t, 100);
> cl2 := c(l, t) = b(l, t);
> cl3 := (D[1](c))(l, t) = (D[1](b))(l, t);
> cl4 := b(L, t) = a;
I been trying to run a maple loop recently where maple computes the values of r,theta,phi for spherical coordinates from some fsolve statements. However I have found this to take an extremely long time (days). What I want is for it to make rows of these and then output them to a file so that I have rows of r,theta and phi for several hundred thousand of them atleast. Currently I simply create a n by 3 array with however many entries my loop has and then fill each position in the array using for loops then I use writedata to write the entire array into a file.
I wonder what virtue there would be in an "assistant" in the Standard GUI to show and allow control of the interface settings.
In the absence of a built-in assistant (or tab in the Tools->Options panels) I wonder whether a simple Maplet would serve.
In a previous post I described how to call OpenMaple from a C# application (see: Using OpenMaple with C#) Now, I'd like to tackle the reverse problem: how do I call a C# .dll from within Maple? The way to do this involves using Component Object Model (COM) interoperability in the Microsoft .NET Framework. Because Maple's kernel is written in an "unmanaged" language, a wrapper is needed in order to bridge to your managed C# code. This article will outline the steps needed to create this bridge and get Maple talking to C#.
A while ago, I tried to understand the dynamics of a tricky 3-D system. Back then I received great help from Robert Israel and Doug Meade. After leaving the problem aside for a while, I'm giving it another shot.
I have a 3-D system of ODEs in the variables (x,c,q) defined on an infinite time range. The initial value of x is given, x(0), but the other values c(0) and q(0) are free. The question is whether it is possible to find values of c(0) and q(0) such that the system will converge towards a critical point.
The first difficulty is in locating critical points, i.e. stationary states. Because the system below contains a singularity at a stationary state, the "critical" points must be understood as a limit that may or may not be approached as time goes to infinity. I have reduced the set of candidate critical points to one element (that for which q=b, where b is a parameter of the system, see below). Denote this critical/stationary point by (xs,cs,qs). The second difficulty is in establishing whether the critical point is reached by a stable (or center) manifold, i.e. whether it is possible to find values of c(0) and q(0) such that, given x(0), it is true that as T goes to infinity x(T)->xs, c(T)->cs, and q(T)=qs. My current assessment, based on the calculations below, is that the critical point may be approached if the initial value of x is below the stationary value but not if it is above it, i.e. x(0)<xs, but not if x(0)>xs. And, if I'm correct, the approach is along a one-dimensional manifold. I'm not 100 percent sure of myself, hence my message on mapleprimes.
The transformed system (u,v,r) appears to exhibit a stable manifold converging to the stationary state u=v=0 and r=b, for r(0) given. Does this indicate that, likewise, the system (x,c,q) has a stable manifold?
many thanks for your help.
My worksheet with comments follows. Unfortunately, today I do not seem to be able to insert figures into the code below.

Gives one negative eigenvalue and two positive ones.
If I set the stationary value of r (and consequently q) to something other than b, I get one very large eigenvalue and one very small one. Analytically: one is zero, the other is infinite. This led me to rule out all candidate stationary states except r=b. When r=b, it is possible that the terms (r-b)/u and v/u in the jacobian, both of the form 0/0, might tend to something finite. It is this possibility that I investigate here.

I'm working with a PDE system, I want to bring it from the conservative(or divergent) to not-conservative form. So I have to do some derivatives. I'm working in vectorial form.
The Maplesoft office is currently in the process of being burried in snow and many of us are getting ready to head off for the holidays. Before leaving, I wanted to share this great animated GIF created using 3d plots. It was sent to me by Bruce Char at Drexel University. The greeting and the Maple script to generate it are after the break.
Hi there,
So my problem is to find the solution(s) of a 3-D system. I can get Maple to spit out a solution (at times), but I am looking for reassurance that this is indeed the solution (if unique, and if not what the other solutions may be). Increasing Digits makes Maple "lose" the solution and return a blank-- normal behavior? Looking at the 3-D plot of the system offers something to puzzle over.
I set up the system in (x,c,q):
xd := x^.5-.1*x-c; cd := (.5/x^.5-.1-q)*c; qd := -(q-.2e-1)*(q-.3e-1)+(q-.25e-1)*(.5/x^.5-.1-q)*c/(x^.5-.1*x-c);
I look for a solution with fsolve:
Digits:=10: interface(displayprecision=10): ss:= fsolve({xd,cd/c,qd}, {x,c,q}, avoid={x=0, c=0, q=0}); xs:=subs(ss,x): cs:=subs(ss,c): qs:=subs(ss,q):
Maple gives:
ss := {c = 2.399289639, q = .2511089584e-1, x = 15.97164840}
If I raise digits to 15, Maple can't solve it anymore. Perhaps this is normal behavior.
I'd like some reassurance that this solution is indeed a solution. Simply feeding the fsolve output back into the system will not work because of a division by zero:
eval(xd,{x=xs,c=cs,q=qs}); eval(cd,{x=xs,c=cs,q=qs}); eval(qd,{x=xs,c=cs,q=qs});
0. -.9597158556e-10 Float(-infinity)
I decided to look at the 3-D plot. The plot of the system suggests that there may be several solutions.
The plot:
plotopts:=style=patchcontour, shading=none,lightmodel=light3,axes=boxed: px:=implicitplot3d({xd}, x=0..25,c=0..5,q=0.02..0.05, numpoints=10000, plotopts, colour=brown): pc:=implicitplot3d({cd/c}, x=0..25,c=0..5,q=0.02..0.05, numpoints=10000, plotopts, colour=green): pq:=implicitplot3d({qd}, x=0..25,c=0..5,q=0.02..0.05, numpoints=10000, plotopts, colour=blue): display3d({pq}, orientation=[-25,70]); display3d({px,pc,pq}, orientation=[95,90], projection=1);
plot of third equation plot of 3-D system
The plot is not very clean, and no matter how hard I've tried, by turning it around and zooming near the Maple solution, it is not clear that there are no other solutions. (well perhaps it is clear from the equations themselves, but I couldn't work it out and resorted to the numerical approach)

Round 1 - Mark Carter is the ref for this one, and 30 seconds in, Smith works hard for a takedown and gets it. As Kennedy tries to scramble out, he keeps him on the canvas. But Kennedy gets to the fence, where he'll look to walk back up. He does, and Smith tries to land inside. He keeps Kennedy bullied on the wall, and Kennedy lands a good knee, then finally maneuvers his way out and gets back to the center. Smith lands an outside leg kick, but Kennedy looks right at him and drills a right uppercut. He tries to return with a second one, but misses and Smith again gets the fight to the floor. He can't keep it there as long this time, and Kennedy reverses and looks to put on some pressure of his own. Kennedy looks to engage back on the feet, and he lands a big kick to the body. But as they clinch up, Smith lands with a low knee and Kennedy drops down in pain from the shot in the mommy-daddy parts. After a brief break, Kennedy looks to do some damage inside. And he does. A few solid strikes and knees have Smith on shaky ground as things tick down. It was a bit of a shift in Kennedy's favor late, and MMAjunkie.com will give him a close 10-9 round.
Round 2 - Smith looks for a takedown, and Kennedy tries to defend with knees, but Smith gets things down for a moment. Kennedy ties him up in the clinch and tries to reverse position on the fence. Finally, he gets the fight down and goes to work in half-guard looking to pass. Kennedy briefly has a pass to mount, but it's right back to half-guard. As Smith tries to work out, Kennedy takes his back for a moment. Smith tries to reverse out, but Kennedy works some nice shots to the body down on the ground. Smith tries to explode out, but Kennedy is doing a good job of keeping him neutralized. Kennedy appears to be working for body shots on the ground, but Carter has seen enough and stands them up. Smith tries for a takedown, but it's Kennedy again in control punching the body. Smith lands a good elbow with 30 seconds left as he tries to work his way back to the feet. He does, with 10 seconds left, but Kennedy sits him back down. It's another 10-9 round on the MMAjunkie.com card.
Round 3 - Kennedy ties things up on the fence and looks for elbows over the top as Smith pushes him against the fence. They break and Kennedy stands in the center and blocks a high Smith kick. Greg Jackson in Kennedy's corner is calling for more activity from him, and as Smith comes in again looking to go to the ground, Kennedy lands a solid knee. Smith wants a single, but Kennedy grabs his neck and squeezes like crazy. It's a neck crank and then it turns into just an absolutely nasty guillotine choke that forces Smith to tap. Came almost out of nowhere. Tim Kennedy def. Trevor Smith via submission (guillotine choke) - Round 3, 1:36

Scuderi, 34, re-joins the Pittsburgh organization after spending the past four seasons with the Los Angeles Kings. The defensive-minded blueliner originally played five-plus seasons with the Penguins between 2003-09, helping the team to a Stanley Cup championship in 2009.
The 6-foot-1, 216-pound Scuderi appeared in all 48 regular-season games with Los Angeles in 2012-13, tallying one goal, 11 assists and 12 points. He led the team in both blocked shots (66) and shorthanded minutes (3:13) while averaging 21:47 minutes per contest. Scuderi collected three assists and led the Kings with a plus-9 rating in 18 games during the postseason.
A couple immediate things:
1. Everything full circle back to the summer when the Penguins lost Scuderi. Here was our farewell to Scuderi. [ July 9th 2009 ]
2. Shero's quote when they lost Scuderi:
"When I first got here and found out he had a one-way contract, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?' " Shero said. "But he just kept improving. Now, I wish I had signed him for three years instead of two [after the '06-'07 season for a $1.425 million]."
3. A lot of thoughts that this deal will mean Niskanen could be the odd man out. He has one-year left on his deal. He makes 2.3 million. We would hate to see Niskanen go, but at this point it may make the most sense.
4. How slow is Scuderi going to be when he is 38? Yikes. One thing we've always thought about. The save Fleury made on A.O. in Game 7. On that play Scuderi got toasted. If Fleury doesn't make that save, and the Pens lose that game, who knows what happens.
5. The difference between three million in LA and three million in Pittsburgh? Huge.
6. Overall good signing, but the years, only based on the fact Scuderi may wear down is a concern.

Has anyone put in a lawn with these Zoysia Farms Amazoy grass plugs and what kind of a yard does it make also how long does it take to grow together for a complete lawn.
Has anyone put in a lawn with these Zoysia Farms Amazoy grass plugs and what kind of a yard does it make also how long does it take to grow together for a complete lawn.
Zoysia fills in very slowly compared to other grasses. Don't skimp on the plugs.
It greens up later in the season because it is a warm weather grass. When it fills in, it is supposed to be hard for weeds to penetrate because it's so thick. It's common in older neighborhoods (at least in my region) and on golf courses.
I have a zoysia yard that had been slightly neglected and that I further neglected. I used plugs to restore it, but the big improvement came from getting on a regular fertilization schedule.
The zoysia looks fabulous now -- super lush and feels like carpet under your bare feet. I bought plugs from a local lawn company, which may be cheaper than the option you're considering.
Good luck!
Zoysia and St Augustine make a beautiful lawn but they do go dormant in the winter in cold climates. It is true that they grow so thick that they will choke out weeds entirely. My previous house here in Virginia had St Augustine in the back yard and most of the front yard. The problem with either of them is that they are slow growing and you can't grow it from seed. If you can get it in the form of sod, that is the fastest way to get it established but, if you are patient, buy LOTS of plugs and fertilizer that is recommended specifically for Zoysia and St Augustine. Other fertilizers will kill it as will ice clearing salt.

George Bailey admits confidence within the Australia camp is running dry following their early elimination from the Champions Trophy.
The holders were knocked out of the competition at the group stage after a 20-run defeat to Sri Lanka at The Oval yesterday.
Having already lost to England in their first Group A fixture, Australia then fell victim to the weather in a no result with New Zealand, meaning they had to beat Sri Lanka comfortably to reach the semi-finals.
Given Sri Lanka posted 253 for eight, Australia needed to win in 29.1 overs to qualify with a superior net run-rate to New Zealand. They made a brisk start before being dismissed for 233 in the 43rd over.
After coming into the Champions Trophy on the back of a 4-0 Test series defeat in India, Australia's failure to win a match in this tournament means they will be stuttering, rather than strutting in to the Investec Ashes.
"You're probably right, there is probably not a great deal of confidence there," said Bailey, who stood in for injured skipper Michael Clarke for the third straight game, when it was put to him that spirits were low.
Bailey thinks Australia were fighting a losing battle once they lost to England by 48 runs in their first group game.
"We said at the start that you need to start the competition well in order to get your confidence up so losing to England was a major cock-up," Bailey said.
"The weather then played its part unfortunately, that was a bit of bad luck because we posted a good score (before rain stopped play against New Zealand) but that's part of the game I guess. There's not much more we could have done."
Bailey said that Clarke, who has been suffering back problems, is likely to return for Australia's Ashes warm-up match against Somerset at Taunton from June 26.
Sri Lanka's reward for beating Australia is a semi-final with India at Cardiff on Thursday, 24 hours after England host South Africa at The Oval in the other semi.
Sri Lanka had Mahela Jayawardene to thank for victory. The veteran batsman passed 11,000 ODI runs with a responsible knock of 84 off 81 balls.
It was only in the dying stages of Sri Lanka's innings that Jayawardene upped his scoring rate as he chose to anchor the innings following the early dismissals of Kumar Sangakkara and Kusal Perera.
Australia tried to seize on Jayawardene's slow tactics by sledging the batsman in the final few overs, with wicketkeeper Matthew Wade and Jayawardene both exchanging barbs before becoming involved in a heated discussion as they left the pitch following Sri Lanka's innings.
"It was nothing much, just a bit of banter," Jayawardene said.
"He said something about the way I was batting in the last few overs and I told him not to worry because it was all part of the plan. I guess I had the last laugh."
Bailey, perhaps mindful of Australia's recent disciplinary problems, tried to stop the pair bickering as they left the field, pictured above.
Australia's stand-in skipper said: "I'm not sure how that started, or what it was about. At the end of the innings I tried to cool it down. They are both passionate people, and everyone loves to play with them."

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region1 News Release: BOS 2000-067
Friday, May 5, 2000
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Vanguard Manufacturing, Inc., a New Ipswich, New Hampshire, maker of metal scaffolding, for alleged Willful, Serious and Other than Serious violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act at its Temple Road plant and has proposed penalties against the company totaling $51,000.
According to David May, OSHA area director for New Hampshire, the alleged violations were discovered during safety and health inspections conducted between March 3 and April 20 of this year and involve a cross section of hazards associated with this type of manufacturing environment. These included the absence of programs to lock out the power sources for forklifts and band saws to prevent their accidental startup during maintenance, unguarded moving machine parts, employee overexposure to copper welding fumes, failure to ensure that employees wore eye protection where required and several citations involving cranes and lifting slings.
"Cranes and slings which had not received the required frequent and periodic inspections and a defective sling had not been removed from service," said May. "Of particular concern were two cranes, one with a defective load rope, the other with a defective chain sprocket. The company's own inspection of these cranes in January 1999 identified these defects, yet they had still not been corrected when OSHA began its inspection in March of this year."
May noted that the citation addressing this hazard has been classified as willful, then most severe category of OSHA citation, issued only when OSHA believes, based on its inspection, that the employer knew a particular hazard existed yet apparently elected not to correct it.
Specifically, the citations and proposed penalties encompass the following:
One alleged Willful violation, with a proposed penalty of $38,500, for:
- failure to correct previously identified hazards on two 5-ton cranes, including a defective load rope and a defective load chain sprocket.
Eleven alleged Serious violations, with $40,250 in proposed penalties, for:
- required frequent and complete periodic inspections of cranes had not been conducted; load ropes of cranes had not been inspected as required; slings had not inspected by a competent person; damaged synthetic web slings had not been removed from service;
- specific lockout/tagout procedures were not developed for forklifts and band saws; lockout/tagout devices had not been applied to the band saws;
- unguarded shear blade; improperly adjusted tongue guards and work rests on a pedestal grinder;
- an employee was not protected by eye protection while grinding steel;
- improperly wired electrical outlet (reversed polarity);
- an employee was exposed to copper welding fumes in excess of the limit allowed over an 8-hour work day and the ventilating system in use was inadequate to control that exposure level;
- a written respirator program was not established and implemented for exposed employees.
Fourteen alleged Other than Serious violations, with no cash penalties, for:
- a forklift was modified from gasoline to propane fuel without manufacturer's prior written approval; a forklift was not inspected before being put in service; forklift was not equipped with a data plate; synthetic web slings were not marked or coded to show their lifting capacities;
- periodic and regular inspections of mechanical power presses were not conducted;
- grinders were not marked with required electrical information; unlabeled circuits in a circuit breaker panel; ungrounded electrical cords, outlets or circuits; inadequate strain relief on extension cords; flexible extension cords not inspected; damaged insulation on extension cords;
- workers voluntarily using dust respirators were not provided all required information on proper use of respirators; employees passing through welding area did not wear goggles or protective glasses;
- material safety data sheet for a degreasing agent was not immediately available for inspection.
May urged Granite State employers and employees with questions regarding workplace safety and health standards to contact the OSHA area office in Concord, NH, and added that OSHA's toll-free, nationwide hotline --1-800-321-OSHA (1-800-321-6742)-- may be used to report workplace accidents or fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, especially if they occur outside of normal business hours.
A willful violation is defined by OSHA as one committed with an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations.
A serious violation is defined as one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result, and the employer knew, or should have known, of the hazard.
An other-than-serious violation is a condition which would probably not cause death or serious physical harm but would have a direct and immediate relationship to the safety and health of employees.
OSHA is empowered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to issue standards and rules requiring employers to provide their employees with safe and healthful workplaces and jobsites, and to assure through workplace inspections that those standards are followed.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to either elect to comply with them, to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
The information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request. Voice phone: (617) 565-2072. TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) Message Referral Phone: 800-347-8029.

We know Pantera fans are as hardcore as they get, but let's see if we can give you a few pieces of Dime's history you never knew about.
It's always an amazing experience to see Black Label Society in action, and our ears are still ringing from both of the band's performances on this year's ShipRocked Cruise.
A post on Pantera's Facebook page condemns a despicable act by a band who desecrated Dimebag Darrell's grave.
Guitar World magazine offers video tour of Dimebag's home and studio in Texas.
New footage of Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown rocking out for the final time under the moniker Gasoline has emerged.
Rex Brown claims that every band wants to be Pantera and if guitarist Dimebag Darrell was still alive, they'd still be working together.
Not only has the new song, 'Whiskey Road,' been unveiled, but the full sheet music for the track is also available for free.
Described as "part autobiography, part music business guide," the book promises an insider's look into Pantera's success.
'Loudwire Nights' host Full Metal Jackie caught up with a number of rockers who wanted to share their memories and thoughts on the late Dimebag Darrell.

If it doesn't have to match the AR in caliber?
A Sporter weight 22-250 Rem.
Kills coyotes like a death ray as far as you can see them.
November 15, 2009, 05:18 PM
And makes for some sewing jobs on fox pelts. I don't hunt fox anymore but at reasonable distance the 223 is good on coyotes and not quite as explosive on fox. Bullet selection can alleviate some of the problem but sells off performance on the bigger dogs.
If in open country the 22-250 and 220 swift have no equal in.22 caliber.
If the range is shortened and damage is an issue I'd go for the .223 and maybe if starting out fresh I would pich the .204.
November 15, 2009, 05:21 PM
dosn't matter with the AR as far as same .cal,sporter weight in 22-250 sounds good..is a heavy barrel gun worth the weight to carry afield?like you said as far as you can see,if your using a call they probably wouldn't be more that a few hundred yards out...
November 15, 2009, 05:29 PM
CZ 527 Kevlar in .204.
November 15, 2009, 05:37 PM
is a heavy barrel gun worth the weight to carry afield?NO, not in my opinion.
You can get a good light-sporter to shoot MOA or less, and thats good enough to kill coyotes at 500 yards. They are also faster & easier handling when calling in a brush blind.
The heavy barrels come into their own when firing extended strings at range targets or prairie dog towns, where a light barrel would over-heat sooner.
Coyote hunting or calling is most often a one-shot deal, with a lot of hiking between shots for the barrel to cool off!
November 15, 2009, 06:03 PM
Put a 25 wssm upper on it and match the bullets. Great deer set-up as well. I really like gray fox hunting.
Good luck.
November 15, 2009, 07:25 PM
If you're going to keep the pelts, a .243 or 6mm Rem. is perfect. I use a 6mm with 90 grain FMJ for coyotes. The rifle is a Ruger M77 22" sporter with a 4-12x44mm scope.
November 15, 2009, 08:03 PM
Stevens-200 .223 or .308
November 16, 2009, 12:24 AM
if doing anything with skins, then the 204 is the only way to go. Otherwise, really anything nowadays, in a pencil bbl 223, is very nice. cost not being an object, the dude above is right on with the cz in 204, and it would be my choice in 223 as well. If not that, then a nice remmy sps , or a savage will fill the bill.

No point to having a heavy barrel for fox or coyote. You won't shoot enough to heat the barrel. "Lighter totes easier."
My current pet for varmints is a Ruger 77 Mk II in .223. Light sporter. Great for prairie dogs, as well, I found. Half-MOA from the git-go, even before the Timney trigger installation.
I figure any equivalent bolt gun will do.
FWIW, I'm setting up a flat-top Colt AR with a 20" lightweight CMMG upper as a truck/coyote gun. Just a K4 at the moment, but it'll wind up with a 3x9 on top. One MOA from the benchrest, yesterday, sighting it in sorta hurriedly. Close enough for government work, for now.
November 16, 2009, 11:34 AM
Are the mini Mauser actions still being made? That would be a sweet thing to build up from. A buddy has one in 17 Cheetah that he had done yrs. ago.

Monkeys bring star power to State Fair exhibition
When Tom Cruise squeezed himself into leather jeans, tattooed his chest, wore hair down to his shoulders and battled rock-glam groupies as Stacee Jaxx in the 2012 movie "Rock of Ages," he demanded a sidekick.
You know — someone to really monkey around with.
He got Mickey — a baboon who partied in a leather fringe jacket alongside Cruise, who named the Nevada zoo native "Hey Man" so he could say "Stacee Jaxx doesn't work without Hey Man" in the film.
The performance was bananas — but nothing Mickey isn't used to. The 14-year-old baboon rolls deep with six other baboons and one Capuchin monkey for a "Wild About Monkeys" interactive exhibition that is making a stop this year at the State Fair.
The exhibit will feature Mickey and his four siblings — Mojo, Opie, Maya and Maxine — as well as two other baboons, Dagney and Kamila, and one capuchin, Rico, in performances every day of the fair at 12:30, 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. in the Big Backyard.
You may already recognize Dagney and Kamila — they're the two baboons who cleverly catapulted themselves into arctic-chilled waters inhabited by polar bears in a Sierra Mist commercial that ran during the Super Bowl.
If you're wondering what kind of splash these Hollywood hotshots are planning to make at State Fair, their keepers, Kevin Keith and wife, Martina, of Monkey Business Productions of Napa, Calif., are keeping details of the performance on the down-low. Keith said he doesn't want to ruin the surprise.
What you can expect is a parade of personalities that may remind you of your own family interactions.
Keith said Mickey and Mojo are "total sweethearts," and are the ones often hired to work with humans in movies and commercials.
On the other hand, Dagney and Kamila are the "socially intelligent troublemakers" of the group, Keith said. As almost-3-year-old females, the two have been known to run around instigating the male baboons by pinching them — a behavior that's not unlike that found on a playground.
But what do you expect? Keith said they're young girls; it's kind of their job to play that way.
Rico's performance rests on his doe-eyed innocence. As the crew's only Capuchin, his role is to look cute onstage. (How very Puss in Boots of him.)
Keith said baboons are very intelligent and are the most social monkeys. After seeing them perform at the fair, spectators may change their view of baboons as aggressive pickpockets — at least that's what Keith hopes.
After all, they do have some things in common with humans.
"If they could live on ice cream, potato chips and cream puffs, they would," he said.

And that could be a literal statement. Internet sensation Tony Picard has made it clear that he wants to play football for Washington State next year. For those who haven't seen him yet, Tony is a six-foot-four, 400 pound running back out of White Swan High School near Yakima in Washington who may not be very fast, but as you can imagine, usually requires several defenders to take down.
Picard finished the season with over 700 yards rushing, and was naturally a force near the goal line, accounting for 15 touchdowns. No word on whether Coach Leach and the team will pursue him as of yet, seeing as they're right in the middle of the season.

Hall of fame
This City Hall will bring light and pleasure to the people of Hong Kong, to the enrichment of their lives and the lives of their children.' With these words, Sir Robert Black, then governor of Hong Kong, raised the curtain on Hong Kong's first world-class concert hall half a century ago on March 2, 1962.
It wasn't the first City Hall in Hong Kong's history, but it was the first opened to society at large. Its predecessor, inaugurated in 1869, was operated by an elite group of businessmen. It was torn down in 1933 to make way for the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank headquarters and the government promised to provide a site for a new hall. With the outbreak of war, however, people had other things to worry about.
'But a few musicians from the Sino-British Orchestra remembered,' says Darwin Chen Tat-man, the first Chinese manager of City Hall. 'They kept writing to the South China Morning Post urging the government to honour its promise and, in 1953, the government agreed to build a new hall.'
Plans for the venue soon moved beyond a concert hall, growing into a compact multiple-use cluster of cultural and civic facilities on the reclaimed waterfront, which would also include Queen's Pier (1954) and the Star Ferry Pier (1957). Apart from a 1,500-seat concert hall and a 500-seat theatre, the venue also housed a museum, gallery, library, ballroom, restaurant, conference rooms and even a marriage registry.
But there was strong opposition inside the government to the HK$20 million project; the financial secretary argued that the community was not ready for this 'white elephant'. But City Hall was a success from the outset.
It all began with a visit by the renowned London Philharmonic Orchestra, which opened the concert hall with five performances. Sir Malcolm Sargent, its conductor, was instantly impressed with the hall's acoustics. 'Never let bad orchestras play here. The badness of their playing would be shown up so mercilessly that you would all walk out,' he told the audience after the first concert on March 4, 1962 - 50 years ago today.
Sargent's praise was obviously heard by his peers throughout the world and star performers started dropping by the city, which was then better known for Suzie Wong than classical music.
In the decades before the opening of the Cultural Centre in 1989, City Hall played host to debut local performances by the likes of violinists Yehudi Menuhin (1962), Henryk Szeryng (1965), Alfredo Campoli (1966), Isaac Stern (1967), Ida Handael (1973) and Itzhak Perlman (1977); pianists Arthur Rubenstein, (1964), Claudio Arrau (1965), Shura Cherkassky (1974) and Alicia de Larrocha (1975); cellists Paul Tortelier (1974), Yo-Yo Ma (1977), Mischa Maisky (1978) and Mstislav Rostropovich (1983); plus sopranos Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (1973) and Victoria de los Angeles (1977), just to name a few.
But nothing illustrates the impact of City Hall better than the number of visits by full symphony orchestras. Before 1962, Hong Kong had only played host to two: the Los Angeles and Vienna Philharmonics, which performed at a basketball court and a theatre, respectively. After the opening of City Hall, orchestras started flooding in.
The London Symphony Orchestra visited three times from 1964 to 1971. Japan's flagship NHK Symphony Orchestra also flew in, as did the Cincinnati Symphony and the Japan Philharmonic. The trend accelerated with the creation of the Hong Kong Arts Festival in 1973, which continues to bring in top-notch orchestras and artists every year.
'The demand was huge from day one,' Chen recalls. 'But our biggest concern was concert etiquette of the local audience. People were used to smoking and walking around during Cantonese operas and movies. It was City Hall that nurtured proper etiquette - such as not smoking or arriving late - among the audience.'
But the situation didn't change overnight. Pianist Nancy Loo recalls her debut performance in the new City Hall as a teenager one Sunday afternoon. 'It was a full house, but I suspect many people were just there for a relaxing afternoon, munching their snacks and enjoying the free air conditioning,' she says.
These 'Sunday Popular Concerts' were aimed at introducing the concert hall experience to the public and entry was just HK$1. For many people - performers and audience members - City Hall gave them their first exposure to the fine arts in a professional setting.
City Hall provided a platform for performances of practically every genre of music. Full Cantonese operas, for example, were staged regularly, as were dramas and variety shows. Pop singer Pat Boone (1964) and jazz giant Duke Ellington (1972) also made their mark at the concert hall.
The theatre became a haven for film lovers, particularly in the early years when non-mainstream commercial movies, including many non-English titles, were screened. The 1962 opener was a three-hour film of the Richard Strauss opera Rosenkavalier, for example. The practice contributed to the founding of what is now the Hong Kong International Film Festival, which was launched in 1977 at City Hall.
But perhaps City Hall's most important contribution was its role in nurturing local artists and groups. 'Without City Hall, the Allegro Singers would not have come into existence,' says Barbara Fei Ming-yee, a Paris-trained soprano who founded the choral group in 1964.
The same could be said of veteran opera director Lo King-man, who in 1966 produced the first full version of Madama Butterfly in City Hall, with Italian-trained soprano Ella Kiang in the title role. And in 1969, about 80 youngsters belonging to the Hong Kong Children's Choir, including current Hong Kong Sinfonietta music director Yip Wing-sie, sang their first note.
During the 1970s City Hall was a springboard for launching professional ensembles and institutions. The venue also helped inaugurate the Hong Kong Philharmonic (1974), the Pan-Asia Orchestra (1976), the Asian Arts Festival (1976), the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (1977), Hong Kong Repertory (1977), and Hong Kong Ballet (1979).
Outside the world of arts, City Hall became an important venue for political events. Queen Elizabeth II visited in 1975 and 1986, and the inauguration ceremonies of all governors from David Trench (1964) to David Wilson (1987) were held there.
The mainland was experiencing great turbulence in the early years of City Hall, and the venue hosted a group of top Chinese musicians, including pianist Liu Shikun and violinist Yu Lina, just a few months after it opened. Local leftist groups also staged rallies there during the Cultural Revolution.
In the 1980s, the venue's role as the city's sole concert hall ended with the opening of competing venues, first in Tsuen Wan, then Sha Tin, Tuen Mun and, in 1989, Tsim Sha Tsui with the Cultural Centre. It was also overshadowed by large venues such as the Queen Elizabeth Stadium and the Coliseum in Hung Hom. Acoustically, however, it remains unchallenged.
With the demolition of Queen's Pier and the Star Ferry Pier in 2007, plus the ongoing construction of the Central-Wan Chai Bypass, City Hall has lost the landscape it was born into. Inside it has changed too - a fire in 2004 closed the concert hall for three months and resulted in the replacement of the original woodwork.
Yip of the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, City Hall's venue partner since 2009, says all that is needed is an upgrade for the 21st century. 'Without people, a venue is dead, so we need artists and an audience to give the hall an identity. We also need good backstage facilities so that chorus members don't have to warm up in the street like they did at our last concert.'

Mark Ross didn't even try to search for an answer as to why his Misericordia offense struggled so mightily Saturday against Lycoming. He wasn't going to hypothesize as to why the Cougars' second-best rushing offense looked like an also-ran in their third game of the season.
"I gotta look at the film," Ross said in the minutes following Lycoming's 52-14 win over Misericordia. "They're the best disciplined team we see. The off-the-cuff answer is they just outphysicaled us and tackled really well. They played better than we did."
It's become less and less surprising with each passing week when the Warriors play the way they did Saturday. They held a Misericordia rushing offense averaging 478 yards per game to 157.
Article Photos
Lycoming's Tyler Denike, left, tries to tackle Misericordia quarterback Jeff Puckett during Saturday's game at David Person Field.
Lycoming did it with a gameplan it executed to perfection. Cougars quarterback Jeff Puckett never had an easy decision to make in his option offense. There weren't holes bursting open in Misericordia's offensive line where he could quickly decide to release the ball to his running back, or keep it himself for a big gain.
And that's exactly the way Lycoming wanted it. The Warriors executed Steve Wiser's gameplan to perfection, maintaining lane discipline and never trying to make the big play. And in turn, whenever Puckett, the nation's leading rusher at more than 200 yards per game, took the snap, he was left with choosing between the lesser of two evils with his offensive options.
"They were putting him in some gray areas," Ross said. "What you need to do is put some indecision in the quarterback, then you stand a chance."
Lycoming dictated the pace of the game Saturday at David Person Field because of its defense. A Misericordia offense which controlled the football and the clock running at least 90 plays each of the first two weeks of the season, ran just 55 offensive snaps Saturday.
Lycoming held the football for 36 minutes of a 60-minute game. That included at least 8 minutes of possession in three of the four quarters. And the one quarter the Warriors didn't have at least 8 minutes of possession, they still scored 21 points thanks to scoring runs of 23 and 36 yards from Craig Needhammer and a 43-yard scoring pass from Tyler Jenny to Matt Atkinson.
"When you play groups that want to run a lot of plays and want to run the ball, it only hurts you if we're not scoring and they are," Lycoming head coach Mike Clark said. "It's when it's a close game that it matters. They're in a tough spot as a second-year program and I'm sure if they could throw it better, they would. (Puckett) is a great runner, very tough, very physical. But (throwing the ball) is not how they want to play the game. Plus I think we're pretty good defensively and we'll continue to try and limit teams offensively."
Saturday was the most complete performance by the Lycoming defense this year, even if it was the fewest amount of snaps the Warriors' starters have faced all year. In an opening-week, 30-2 loss to Brockport, Lycoming played a brilliant first half before wearing down. In Week 2's 34-18 win over Wilkes, the defense completely shut down the Colonels' run game before fading in the fourth quarter.
Playing just one series into the third quarter, Lycoming's starters allowed just 105 total yards of offense in 36 plays (2.9 yards per play).
"That offense they run, it's hard to defend," Lycoming defensive tackle Dwight Hentz said. "But (defensive coordinator Steve Wiser) knew what he was doing. The coaches knew what they were doing, the linebackers knew what they were doing and they could direct us up front and let us know what's up with the play-calling and what's coming next."
The biggest adjustment made by the Warriors against an up-tempo offense was to slow down defensively. Usually the front line tries to take control allowing middle linebacker Kabongo Bukasa to fly to the ball and make plays.
That changed a bit Saturday.
"With their ability to run the quarterback inside, we slowed the middle linebackers down and made sure it wasn't a quarterback run and let some other people get to the perimeter and let the (middle linebacker) get there later," Clark said. "It worked."
There hasn't been a whole lot which hasn't worked for the Warriors this year.

The clear lessons so far from Mayoral Madness: The only thing Portland loves more than an underdog is a self-promoter.
The first round of WW's bracket tournament to find a less-boring mayor produced many upsets, thanks to social-network campaigning by enthusiastic competitors.
In the biggest surprise, No. 1 seed and Portlandia darling Carrie Brownstein fell to 16th seed right-wing radio host Victoria Taft, who won with 55 percent after urging her Twitter and Facebook acolytes to vote.
"Next round is tougher," Taft tweeted on Monday, anticipating a second-round, Tea Party-vs.-Timbers Army war with mascot Timber Joey. "But I'm drinking in the victory tonight."
Mattress World mogul Sherri Hiner eked out a last-minute, five-vote win over stripper and memoirist Viva Las Vegas.
Oregonian columnist John Canzano barely escaped a challenge from his wife, Anna, after rallying his Twitter followers with "I do take out the garbage at the house."
One winner who didn't campaign: holiday-tree bomb-plot suspect Mohamed Osman Mohamud, who blew up Lars Larson's candidacy. "Don't let me lose to that terrorist," the conservative radio host pleaded on Twitter.
This week's key matchups:
Columbia Sportswear boss Gert Boyle faces Fire Chief Erin Janssens, who scored the highest first-round vote: 76 percent.
Packy the Elephant battles blogger Jack Bogdanski. And Pink Martini singer China Forbes goes up against Hawthorne Bridge entertainer "Working" Kirk Reeves.
Voting resumes today.
