UPDATE: Dave Dittman, a former aide and close family friend of former Sen. Ted Stevens, confirms to local Alaksa station KTUU that Stevens was killed in a plane crash in his home state on Monday night.
This story is still developing. See original article below.
AP/Huffington Post – A plane carrying nine people crashed amid southwest Alaska's remote mountains and lakes, killing five people on board, authorities said Tuesday. Former Sen. Ted Stevens and ex-NASA chief Sean O'Keefe were believed to be aboard.
It was unclear if the longtime Republican senator and O'Keefe were among the dead.
Rescuers arrived on helicopter early Tuesday and were giving medical care to survivors, Alaska National Guard spokesman Maj. Guy Hayes said. He offered no additional details, except that there were potential fatalities.
Alaska officials reported that nine people were aboard the aircraft and that "it appears that there are five fatalities," NTSB spokesman Ted Lopatkiewicz told The Associated Press in Washington. Continue reading…

1. Re: 2000-year-old sword among finds in Jerusalem tunnel
The story this links to says that this artifact was found in what is identified as the 'City of David', the general area of which is (reportedly) being taken over with a program similar to what Americans know as eminent domain. I really find such a large scale excavation thrilling in concept, but I am disturbed by reports of residents being tossed out on their ears as soon as the dig moves near them.
No judgement here... there's a lot of politics in play. But you can't sacrifice the living for the dead and buried.
2. 3000-year-old lion statue unearthed in Turkey
Like the Roman sword, I look at this and wonder who may have been the last person to see it before two and three millennia of hiding.
Absolutely beautiful piece! I have the perfect place for it in my rock garden!!
3. Doomsday bunkers: 2012 DIY home improvements
Anyone here remember the Cold War? Back yard bomb and fallout shelters?
I lived for several years just outside of Fort Benning, Georgia in Columbus and across the street from me was a neighbor who had a '50s era bomb/fallout shelter in his back yard. The only thing you could actually see on the surface was a square metal lid and a stovepipe exhaust port. He never said anything about it until just shortly before I moved away.
I got the tour...
There were old rusting barrels of drinking water with the 'circle, triangle, CD' on the side. There were also two old tube operated HAM radio sets, four steel bunk frames bolted into the poured concrete walls... and in the far corner, something a little newer... a natural gas powered still with a fading US flag painted on the cement wall behind it, lol.

Given the choice of living indefinitely in that bunker with your neighbour, or taking my chances on the surface... I think I'd rather take my chances on the surface. ;-)
Heheh, Greg read "doomsday bunker" and thought of the sand at his local golf course. :-P

Jacob Dunkleberger
April 4, 2008
AUBURN - Senior Jacob Dunkleberger won the hammer throw with a nation-best mark on Friday to start competition at the Tiger Track Classic. The men's hammer throw was the only event contested during the opening day, as the women's hammer was delayed until 10 a.m. Saturday due to weather and the rest of the meet was already scheduled to take place on Saturday.
Dunkleberger had a winning throw of 71.42 meters (234-4), easily topping the best mark in the nation this year of 67.82m by Boldizsar Kocsor of UCLA. Dunkleberger actually topped that mark on all of his six throws, with his best mark coming on his fourth attempt. He narrowly missed matching his school record throw of 71.87m (235-9) set while winning the NCAA title last June.
"I did exactly what I wanted to do," said Dunkleberger. "I feel pretty good based on where I was last year at this time. Last year I wasn't quite as on balance as I was today. Today I had a lot better rhythm than I usually do in the first meet."
The rest of the Tiger Track Classic takes place Saturday. Field events are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with the men's javelin, while running events start at 1 p.m. with the women's 4x100m relay. The meet is scheduled to conclude at approximately 7 p.m.

Andrew K's review published on Letterboxd :
I adore this movie. I knew I would like it, but never got around to watching it until now. Excellent collection. There were definitely some pieces that I didn't like (specifically, the hairdresser and the vampire ones). However, there were some that I would sit through an hour of crap to see again (the subway, the woman taking French lessons). Fortunately, there isn't an hour of crap here. Even the worse ones are at least watchable. Highly recommended.

Just to give this story some backing: the original source of this story is the German newspaper Bild (yes, the exact same one that first broke Webber to Porsche, Lowe to Mercedes, Glock leaving Marussia and the list goes on):
Hulkenberg to Lotus or Ferrari is my guess. And about time too.
Man, I can't believe that this guy isn't in a top seat yet.
It's believed that Hulkenberg moved to Sauber to try and set up a future with Ferrari. Since Sauber have an engine supply deal with Ferrari, they've often worked very closely with Maranello. It's believed that Ferrari are very interested in him as a potential replacement for Felipe Massa, and so he moved to Sauber to try and establish a relationship with the team. The problem that Hulkenberg is facing at the moment is that Sauber have gone backwards – and that there was a lack of front-running drives that were available when he decided to move. When Hamilton moved to Mercedes, McLaren pounced on Perez. And Ferrari and Red Bull haven't had any driver line-up changes recently.
Somewhat unrelated, but I wonder if Red Bull will be using Alonso's current woes to frame a speculative offer of a 2014 drive. Alonso said he wants to see out the rest of his career with the Scuderia, but considering how badly it's going at the moment, it's got to be something he'd think about…
@Prisoner Monkeys
Correct mate- Nico H has bigger days in F1- I really do think he is a future champion !!!
Force India to Sauber sucks this year- but the Ferrari connection is strong.
I have long been a fan and supporter of Massa- but I think he is done at a top team. I am all Webber but love the way he retired this year- not pushed- Massa should do similar I think!!
then Hukk?? 2016 World Drivers Champion!!??…………………. maybe????
Considering that Sauber had 4 podiums last year to Force India's zero last year, the fact that Hülkenberg was pretty much the only reason Force India almost overhauled Sauber for 6th in the standings, and the fact that many of us were speculating if Force India would even make the grid in 2013 because of VM and Sahara Group's financial issues, I don't see how it was the wrong move at the time.
Yes, he's struggling with a sluggish, post-James Key Sauber now, in mid-2013 – but in late 2012, this was a move up and not a move sideways/down.

It was happening on SELECT statements; no triggers involved. (I had *intended* just to get trigger functions, but had accidentally included some others.) I wasn't able to create a small, self-contained test case with a few hours of attempts, so I was hoping someone could suggest (from the stack traces and other clues) how best to attempt that or what other information might be useful. It wasn't even clear to me that it was OK to have one security definer function call another, based on the code comment I quoted, so I didn't want to spend more hours on attempting to create a test case if it simply wasn't supported. Sad to say, the script which flagged the functions as security definer didn't cause problems in normal testing, and were deployed to production (in advance of a software release which will need the expanded permissions), where the problem surfaced under user load. The fact that the larger number of concurrent users hit the problem where my test scripts haven't suggests some race condition, so even if I create it here, it will probably be something where I need to know what information to capture while it is happening. We only need to add the security definer flag on trigger functions at this point for the upcoming application release, but I'm not yet confident that this is safe. -Kevin

Editor's Corner: Opinion content is a double-edged sword of responsibility
August 23, 2012
It's been 12 years since I first sat behind a desk at the Cheney Free Press. I've covered a lot of issues, events and people since and thinking back, some things stick out.
One of those was a conversation I had once with former Cheney boys basketball head coach Dave Baird. The Blackhawks boys and girls teams had traveled to play Mount Spokane and as the boys were in the stands watching the girls' game some of them were reading copies of the latest Free Press issue they had brought along. Several Wildcat players joined them and Baird said they were amazed, and a bit envious, about the local coverage the Cheney players received.
I'm not tooting our horn. We know we don't cover all we should, sometimes mess up what we do and every so often make people mad in the process.
But sometimes I wonder if people on the West Plains realize how lucky they are, what a resource they possess in having a news publication specific to their communities. I fear sometimes people won't realize it until after the newspaper is gone. We're not in danger of this but one can never take continued publication for granted.
One area I think people are missing an opportunity with is the opinion page. I had a call from a reader last Friday who was upset about the column we published by Creators Syndicate writer Roger Simons. I'm afraid I was a little short with her at the time and I apologize for not being more receptive. Please chalk it up to having a bad day at the end of a rough week.
The reader was upset because she felt Simons was advancing lies as fact and that we shouldn't have published the piece because of this. She was concerned some readers would confuse opinion as fact.
I share that same concern. Opinion writing is an important part of newspapers. In fact maintaining an unfettered outlet for the expression of beliefs was probably more of the basis for the First Amendment's prohibition against restricting freedom of the press, the right to publish, than it was actual hard news.
Newspapers have always been the conduit for opinions from both editors and readers. That role has impacted our country's history and it's important it be maintained and practiced – by everyone.
But it does come with some responsibilities. On our side it's important that media outlets keep news and opinion separate, and not let one influence the other.
As readers, your responsibility is to employ healthy skepticism and seek other, hopefully neutral, sources on the same opinion topic.
It is also the responsibility of the reader to respond to an opinion whether you agree or disagree, and to express their opinions on news stories if they have an opinion or know something the writer of the news piece does not.
News is not a spectator sport, and this is where I feel Free Press readers are missing out. Most of the letters we receive are letters of community thanks or praise, and while important, they don't really instill a public dialogue about issues of the day, and to me, a public dialogue about our communities, our county, state and nation is needed.
There are too many editorial gasbags these days, present company included. So I encourage you readers to speak up about issues. I know you have opinions because we get calls, emails and read them in the pages of our daily brethren down the road.
It's not easy to put your opinion on display for all to see. I know, and I would ask for civility in response.
But it is important that your opinion be heard, now while you have the opportunity.

If ever the description "turning an ugly duckling into a swan" were apt, the diamond could well be described this way. We all know how beautiful they are when they are found in jewelry, but not everyone knows that they were once chunks of ugly dark carbon, which were nestled deep within the earth, or even in volcanoes lava. Eventually, these lovely gemstones find their way to the surface, where they are mined and then transformed into beautiful jewelry items.
Diamonds are the traditional birthstone for April, and have a history that dates back many thousands of years. Our knowledge them in history seems to be fairly substantial, but many diamonds were formed billions of years ago in nature. Diamonds are formed very deeply below the surface of the earth – often over 100 miles deep, and at temperatures and pressures which are difficult to measure, let alone imagine. Diamonds are found in South Africa, Russia, and even in Arkansas in the USA.
Through the passage of times, and various forms of weathering, the material which bears the diamonds, called lampriote or kimberlite, gets eroded and carried away. They later become what geologists refer to as secondary deposits. These secondary deposits were the first diamonds worked by ancient cultures. They had the advantage of having wonderful clarity. As more time passes, much of the heavily surrounding material breaks apart and leaves a cleaner more durable piece of gemstone. Marine deposits have some of the finest quality diamonds because of the millions of years of wave action, which destroys the less durable stones.
India is thought to have been the first large source of diamond mining. The ancient Hindus called the diamond "Vajra" which means "lightning," most likely because it sparkles like light and has incredible strength much as the lightning bolt. A finished diamond is roughly one half the size of the original gemstone in nature. Therefore, if the original stone is 1 carat, the finished diamond, when polished will be 1/2 carat.
Diamonds vary in color from colorless to yellow for the traditional "white diamond" look. Ideally the white diamonds should be colorless with no yellowing at all. But the colors don't stop there. Fancy colored diamonds exist in all shades, hues and colors of the rainbow. Some of the most popular ones are orange, green, red, blue, pink and brown, and of course the famous "black diamond." The most expensive colored diamonds are black, blue, green and red.
Natural colored diamonds get their coloring in a variety of different ways. The color can be caused by trace elements in the actual diamond itself, for instance nitrogen will produce a yellow diamond. The color can also result when radiation is present at the time of the diamond was manufactured. Many of the green diamonds are the result of this natural radiation. Finally, inclusions, which, though undesirable in a colorless stone, can add unique stones and splashes of color to a fancy colored diamond. This should not be confused with lab created "diamonds" which have been treated not only for the color, but for the making of the actual stone.
Everyone has heard the story of using a diamond to cut glass. A diamond is the hardest substance in nature – four times harder than the next closest rival. They are very durable gemstones, and this accounts for some of their popularity in engagement rings. But be warned, diamonds can break. If they are hit in just the right way, with a sharp enough blow, the diamond can break. It has a grain, much like wood, and can splinter in the way wood will. A gemologist can repair a broken or chipped diamond, often with little weight lost from the original stone.
With the flood of online shops selling lab created diamonds, a question often asked is "how do I tell a real diamond from a fake one?" There is no easy answer to this question. Identifying a real diamond from a true synthetic one can be very difficult. It takes a trained eye to really tell the difference. The substitutes will have certain characteristics that diamonds do not have, so it is best to consult a gemologist if there is a question of the authenticity of the diamond. If it is very inexpensive and the price is "too good to be price, it probably is lab created.
Although diamonds seem to be resistant to heat, large stones and those with major inclusions can sometimes be damaged by jewelers who linger too long with a torch during prong work. It's often safest to remove them before working on a setting. Keep your diamonds clean! Diamond rings, especially, are prone to collect dust and dirt behind the stone, since they are normally worn daily. You can easily clean them by simply soaking them in water with a touch of gentle soap. Use a soft bristled toothbrush to scrub the stone. Ultrasonic cleaners are fine for diamonds too, because of their hardness and durability.
As with all precious stones, it is best to remove diamond jewelry before starting such activities as strenuous sports, heavy housework or yard work where the diamonds are prone to impacts. Also avoid harsh chemicals near them. Check often for loose settings, and be careful when storing them that they do not brush or jar against other jewelry. When not worn, store them in soft jewelry pouches especially designed for this purpose or in acidic free line jewelry cases. With a bit of common sense and care, your diamond jewelry will last for your lifetime and will be treasures to pass down to your children.

Exciting way to explore the underwater world
Automatic buoyancy control
Ergonomic handle for easy navigation
Powered by Li-Ion rechargeable battery
There is nothing ordinary about Sea-Doo's RS Series Seascooter. The RS3, with its environmentally friendly Lithium-Ion power source and unique instant neutral buoyancy system, offers a bold new way to experience the big blue.
The Automatic Buoyancy Control feature of the RS Series Seascooter is a self-filling ballast hull that achieves neutral buoyancy almost instantly. Strategically placed drain holes allow water to freely enter and exit the ballast space, making the Seascooter automatically assume neutral buoyancy when submerged and expel water as soon as it hits the surface. Fine-tune your buoyancy by using the four ballast weights in any of four insertion slots.
The handlebar of the scooter is the user's main navigation tool and is made of the best impact-resistant material. It features smart ergonomically positioned triggers for a natural thumb position during trigger operation. Accessory D-ring attachment points and a dashboard-style LED battery status indicator for an accurate voltage display during use. The DPV is powered by a 22.2 Volt 12AH LI-ION rechargeable battery and uses 220 watts of power. The DPV's run time on a full charge is 60 minutes and can obtain a speed of 3.1 mph. Recharge time is 3 hours. The RS1 comes equipped with the battery, 4 ballast weights, 2 glide fins, and a carry strap. Measures 12.6" x 11.8" x 24" and weighs 19 lbs. Depth rated to 98'.

Council services will lose another £17.4m in funding in the next financial year.
This is an 8.6 per cent reduction in Central Beds Council's overall budget from the present financial year.
Before the reduction in funding the council has £203.3m to spend but in 2014/15 it will have only £185.9m.
Over the following three years the council will need to cut its spending by a further £25.6m whilst demands on services continue to increase. This is a result of councils across the country receiving decreasing amounts of funding year on year.
Central Beds council has already had to cut a massive £60m from its budget since 2009.
Broken down by directorate, Social Care, Health and Housing will have a net expenditure of £62.9m, down from 69.7m, Children's Services will have £44.7m, down from £47.3m and Community Services will have £34.4m, down from £37.2m.
Regeneration and Business Support will get £7.4m,. down from £8.3m, Improvement and Corporate Services and Corporate Resources will receive £26.6m, down from £30m and Corporate Costs has a relatively small decrease from £10.8m to £10.6m.
The budget factors in Central Beds Council's portion of the council tax bill being frozen for the fourth year.
The council's budget plan is open for public consultation until Friday, January 31.
Executive member for corporate resources and deputy leader of the council, Councillor Maurice Jones, said: "We have a proven track record of delivering savings, having delivered £60m of efficiencies since the council came into existence in 2009.
"We remain determined to deliver value for money, so we have carefully scrutinised our spending to look at where further efficiency savings can be made or income generated and have put together a budget that allows us to maintain essential services.
"We remain committed to listening to our residents and I hope that people will take time to give us their views."
To complete the consultation visit www.centralbedfordshire.of.uk/consultations
Paper copies are available at the council's headquarters in Priory House, Chicksands.
The budget will be discussed by the council's executive committee on Tuesday (January 14) and Thursday, February 20.

Loose scrum--this forms wherever the ball is lying free and players start scrapping for it. The ball must be played with the feet until it is kicked free.
Touch--this sensuous term simply means out of bounds. The ball must then be thrown in by the side which did not put it in touch. It must be passed in through a "lineout" formation in which the teams line up parallel to each other, and then jump for the ball, trying to kick it to their team-mates.
Knock-on--this phrase is used to describe any situation in which the ball is passed forward and which is almost always illegal, meriting a penalty.

I was primed to nod in vigorous agreement when I saw novelist Richard Russo's op-ed (above) taking on Amazon's thuggish ways. But as I waded into Russo's piece — which was widely passed around — I realized that he'd made a critical and common mistake in his argument.
Rather than focus on the ways that Amazon's promotion would harm businesses whose demise might actually be a cause for alarm (like a big-box electronics store that hires hundreds of local residents), Russo hangs his tirade on some of the least efficient, least user-friendly and most mistakenly mythologized local establishments you can find: independent bookstores.
Russo and his novelist friends take for granted that sustaining these cultish, moldering institutions is the only way to foster a "real-life literary culture," as writer Tom Perrotta puts it. Russo claims that Amazon, unlike the bookstore down the street, "doesn't care about the larger book-selling universe" and has no interest in fostering "literary culture."
That's simply bogus. As much as I despise some of its recent tactics, no company in recent years has done more than Amazon to ignite a national passion for buying, reading and even writing new books.
Compared with online retailers, bookstores present a frustrating consumer experience. A physical store — whether it's your favorite indie or the humongous Barnes & Noble at the mall — offers a relatively paltry selection, no customer reviews, no reliable way to find what you're looking for and a dubious recommendations engine. Amazon suggests books based on others you've read; your local store recommends what the employees like.
Bookstores are economically inefficient, too. Rent, utilities and a brigade of book-reading workers aren't cheap, so the only way for bookstores to stay afloat is to sell items at a huge markup. A few times a year, my wife — an unreformed local-bookstore cultist — drags me into one of our supposedly sacrosanct neighborhood booksellers, and I'm always astonished by how much they want me to pay for books.
I get that some people like bookstores, and they're willing to pay extra to shop there. They find browsing through physical books to be a meditative experience, and they enjoy some of the ancillary benefits of physicality (authors' readings, unlimited magazine browsing, in-store coffee shops, the warm couches that you can curl into on a cold day).
What rankles me, though, is the hectoring attitude of bookstore cultists like Russo, especially when they argue that readers who spurn indies are abandoning some kind of "local" literary culture. There is little that's "local" about most local bookstores. Unlike a farmers' market, which connects you with the people who are seasonally and sustainably tending crops within driving distance of your house, an independent bookstore's shelves don't have much to do with your community. Sure, every local bookstore promotes local authors, but its bread and butter is the same stuff that Amazon sells — mass-manufactured goods whose intellectual property was produced by one of the major publishing houses in Manhattan.
And if you're spending extra on books at your local indie, you've got less money to spend on everything else — including on authentically local cultural experiences. With the money you saved by buying books at Amazon, you could have gone to see a few productions at your local theater company, visited your city's museum, purchased some locally crafted furniture, or spent more money at your farmers' market. Each of these is a cultural experience that's created in your community. Buying Steve Jobs at a store down the street isn't.
But say you don't care about local cultural experiences. Say you just care about books. Well, then it's easy: The lower the price, the more books people will buy, and the more books people buy, the more they'll read. This is the biggest flaw in Russo's rant. He points to several allegedly important functions that local booksellers play in fostering "literary culture" — they serve as a "gathering place" for the community, they "optimistically set up … folding chairs" at readings, they happily guide people toward books they'll love. I'm sure all of that is important, but it's strange that a novelist omits the most critical aspect of a vibrant book-reading culture: getting people to buy a whole heckload of books.
And that's where Amazon is unbeatable. So, sure, Amazon doesn't host readings and it doesn't give you a poofy couch to sit on while you peruse the latest bestsellers. But what it does do — allow people to buy books anytime they want — is hardly killing literary culture. In fact, it's probably the only thing saving it.

On proof
[Apr. 9th, 2006|
04:00 pm
Arvind Narayanan
If you're the sort of person who occasionally reads math papers but are not a mathematician yourself, you might wonder why mathematicians write horribly abstruse papers, vapid and rigorous. Let me attempt to explain why we do so, at least in the small subfield that I inhabit (although I suspect that my reasoning is generally true).
First, let's clear away a misconception. It is only the proofs in math papers that are vapid and abstruse. If we're introducing a new idea or a new problem, we will go to great lengths to explain its meaning, formulation and significance.
Now, it turns out that the world of proofs can be divided into Proofs You Care About and Proofs You Don't Care About. The latter type are in the majority. You are interested in the proof simply to make sure that the theorem it proves is true, so that you can go ahead and use the theorem to prove more important things. Often times, if you can't get one of these proofs to work it says more about the power of your axiom system and proof techniques than it does about the truth of the theorem itself.
Here's how Proofs You Don't Care About are done. When you're trying to prove a theorem of this type, you build up a lot of intuition, learning more and more about the statement of the theorem until you can finally prove it. However, your first attempt at writing down the proof will be horribly messy -- since you only understand the proof at an intuitive level, it is extremely hard to translate to symbols. So you begin a process of "cleaning up" the proof. You simplify and simplify and reformulate and reformulate until the proof becomes a relatively short sequence of formal deductions.
When reading such a proof in someone else's paper, you first stare at it and see if you "believe" the statement of the theorem. If you do, that is, you kinda sorta vaguely intuitively see why the theorem should be true, you just skip the proof and move on. You trust the author and respect their intelligence. Naturally, the author has a responsibility to fact check their ass really really thoroughly. If you don't believe the theorem, on the other hand, you go through the proof, and mechanically check if each step is true.
The author has optimized the writing of the proof to make this checking process mechanical and straightforward
. At the end of it, you the reader might be convinced that the theorem is true, but might still not "believe" it, i.e, no intuition for why it's true. But that's OK, because this is a Proof You Don't Care About -- it doesn't matter why it's true, just the fact that it's true.
Now let's turn to Proofs You Care About. When writing these proofs, you make it abundantly clear that the proof is interesting. The proof tells you more about the state of the universe than the theorem itself does. Often it is because you introduce a new proof technique. Whatever the reason, you make sure you explain the intuition behind the proof. It is not uncommon to prove a special case first or to give examples, to make really sure the reader is on board. If you write a paper in which a Proof You Care About is not sufficiently clearly explained, then that's grounds for rejection. You even write whole papers about important proofs, and give easier to understand proofs for already proved theorems. For example, the Prime Number Theorem was proved in 1896, but a new proof in 1949 of the same theorem without using analytical techniques was regarded as a landmark. There are theorems for which lists of 350 distinct proofs have been compiled.
Most of the time, this works great. There are, of course, bad mathematicians who will fail to give sufficient intuition for new concepts, or write obscure proofs even when the proofs is important. Then there are the plain dishonest ones who deliberately obfuscate their writing. The existence of bad apples cannot be considered a failing of the method.
Rarely, you think you don't care about a proof but it turns out you do. Most famously, Archimedes invented a heuristic form of infinitesimal analysis for computing volumes of solids, which would come to be rediscovered as integral calculus
1900 years later
. However, Archimedes felt that his proof was not rigorous enough to be published, and instead gave alternate proofs of all the results he arrived at using infinitesimals. A grave error -- who knows how the world might have turned out if the ancients had grasped the full power of calculus? His work "On the Method of Mechanical Theorems", a.k.a the "Archimedes Palimpsest", in which he describes how he actually did the proofs, was discovered in 1906 and sold for $2 million in 1998.
I will stop now, for I have work to do. A Proof You Don't Care about, if you're curious.

I see at least two distinct kind of proofs.
(1) one where you "know" that the theorem you prove is true, mostly because of evidence accumulated over years and "collective intuition". I would bunch Fermat's Last theorem (also P\neq NP ?) into this category. In such cases, it is the proof (or the path from axioms to the theorem itself) that is interesting. For instance, the attempt to discover this path, in the case of FLT, gave birth to entire branches of mathematics !
(2) one where the truth of the theorem itself is unclear (perhaps not to the prover, but certainly to a layman). In such cases, the ultimate statement of the theorem might be more interesting than the way it is proven.
I would guess that the former is what they call (or what leads to) 'theory-building' and the latter is what (some) pure mathematicians (at least the small number of them i know) despise as 'problem-solving'.

I see your dichotomy in computer science literature more often than in math. I say this because in math, elegance is thought to be compromised if intuition is given. For instance, a BJV proof with 3 as the constant required to satisfy the inequality is more elegant than deriving the intuition as to why it must be close to e and 3 works.
In computability theory, there is a proof technique called the priority argument which fall under another category. As such they are Proof Your Care About, but I have not seen any intuition given to the proof technique. Some theorems are true intuitively but the proofs are not intuitive like fixed point theorems, recursion theorem,...

BAKERSFIELD — Nate Keeve has not tasted defeat in quite some time.
The Terra Linda High 220-pound wrestler rolled through the North Coast Section finals last week and then scored back-to-back wins in Friday's opening day of the CIF State Finals in Bakersfield.
Keeve ran into a buzzsaw, however, in his third match on Friday and lost a tight 3-2 decision to Mat Boesen of West Torrance.
The loss relegates Keeve to the consolation bracket where his best hope is a third-place finish.
"Boesen is a tall, athletic and quick guy similar to Nate," Terra Linda coach Danny Dardon said. "The match could have gone either way."
Dardon said Keeve nearly pulled off a third-round takedown which would have won him the match.
Keeve needs a win in Saturday's opening consolation match to guarantee himself a medal and a top eight finish.
Also a win away from a state medal is Novato's 145-pounder Garrett Heath, who is doing it the hard way. Heath lost a 13-10 decision to Bakersfield's Alex Fierra in his opening match on Friday. The senior, however, won his next four matches in the consolation bracket, two by pin.
Redwood's Nathan Morris (170), suffered an opening-match third-round pin. Morris was ousted from the tourney when he lost a tough 5-3 decision.
COM splits
Nia Caesar went 3 for 4 with an RBI, Bridget Pacchetti went 2 for 4 with an RBI to help the College of Marin softball team to a 5-4 victory against College of the Redwoods in non-league play. Sammy Schilling got the win, throwing a complete game, giving up just one earned run and striking out seven.
"Sammy did a great job, we had a couple errors that they definitely capitalized on," Com coach Nina Richardson said. "We responded and re-took the lead and they made a last minute run in the seventh, but we were able to hold them back."
Fortunes turned in a 9-3 loss, this time Cabrillo in Game 2. Neika Peterson batted 3 for 4 with an RBI, Caesar went 2 for 3 with a couple runs scored for the Mariners (9-6).
Perfect game
San Rafael's Ed Clark rolled a perfect 300-game in the Thursday Men's League at Country Club Bowl.
For Clark, who started league bowling only four years ago, it was his first 300 game.

Hugh Jackman & Robert Pattinson Are 'Unbound Captives'
Actress Madeleine Stowe is taking a seat into the director's chair for the star-studded period drama Unbound Captives. The film is set to star Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman and Twilight sensation Robert Pattinson.
The movie was co-written by Stowe and her husband with her in the starring role in mind, however when the time came for an offer to sell the script, the actress decided instead to hold onto it and direct the piece herself.
Rachel Weisz has been cast in the role instead. Damn, that's a dead sexy cast. I hope there are lots of corsets.

It's Justin Bieber's Tattoo!
The bird tattoo you saw earlier belongs to Justin Bieber! This was the tatted 'Boyfriend' crooner's first piece of permanent body ink, as he received it on his 16th birthday.
It seems Beliebers have unearthed the meaning behind Bieber's hip ink. According to justinbiebertattoos.com, the bird tat was a sort of rite of passage of the Biebs.
You see, Justin's dad apparently got the same tattoo when he was a kid (and Justin's other family members also supposedly have this exact same ink), so the Biebs' version is symbolic of his love for his dad and his movement towards manhood.
Just like 'The Mighty Ducks,' Biebers fly together.

A contempt order issued against a mother who declined to attend numerous custody hearings with her ex-boyfriend last year was lifted after she agreed to joint custody with the toddler's father.
The bitter custody dispute ended Friday when Ashley Hart, whose family is from Peters Township, and Anthony Denezza, 33, of Greensburg, met in person to discuss the situation before coming to an agreement over the 17-month-old boy.
Washington County Judge Gary Gilman, who signed the contempt order that mandated Hart turn over Armani Denezza to his father by Monday night, lifted the order hours before it was to go into effect after the two agreed to the terms.
Denezza's attorney, Karen Hassinger, said the agreement calls for 50-50 parental rights with various other conditions.
"Obviously, both parties talked it out and realized that this was the best solution for (their) child," Hassinger said.
Hart's attorney, Richard Ducote, said Tuesday that he was not involved in the negotiations and had not seen the agreement.
According to court documents, the agreement waives a $500 fine levied by the court against Hart, provided she abides by the terms of the order. However, she still must pay $3,806 in legal fees to Denezza's attorney.
The agreement also requires Hart's family to request that simple assault, harassment and criminal mischief charges be withdrawn against Denezza in connection with a May 15 incident in which he was accused of assaulting her father at the family's Peters Township home.
Hart went into hiding around that time to avoid the child's father after he initiated the custody proceedings that same month. Ducote previously said his client was never told about the initial proceedings and went into hiding over fears of being arrested.
Hart missed as many as six custody hearings over the past three months, including the most recent contempt hearing Jan. 3. Gilman held her in contempt Jan. 6 and ordered the child be turned over to his father.

JERUSALEM (Dec. 10)
— Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir called on representatives of the European Parliament yesterday to "make the Parliament's voice heard" on the question of Greece's diplomatic relations with Israel.
Greece, which is to enter the European Economic Community (EEC) Jan. I as a full member, does not have full diplomatic relations with Israel, but only relations at the ministerial level. (This is one level below that of full ambassador and plenipotentiary.)
Israel has long pressed the EEC governments to demand of Greece that it raise its ties with Israel to full ambassadorial level — in line with all the other nine EEC states. Now, Shamir expanded that call to embrace the European Parliament, which sits in Strasbourg, France, and which comprises members of political parties of all the EEC countries. Shamir told the parliamentarians that it was in Israel's crucial interest to maintain a close dialogue with the EEC states and to expand friendship and understanding with them.

It's Girl Scout cookie time and I have yet to eat a Thin Mint or a Samoa or a Tagalong. (Mmmm, Tagalongs.) I wish I could only buy a couple cookies at a time because I don't trust myself with an entire box. I'm trying to visualize a world in which I only eat 2 or 3 crunchy cookies of mint chocolate goodness a day even though there's a whole box sitting in my cupboard. Honestly, it's easier to imagine a world where Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama bake Girl Scout cookies together while singing Eminem songs. As unlikely as the second scenario is, I can actually imagine it in my head. The first situation, not so much.
Which brings me back to the idea of food addiction, something I've been pondering on and off the past couple months ever since I read that book, Hungry by Allen Zadoff. I'm still not sure what to make of the concept of food addiction, though Zadoff is a firm believer in it. However, reading that book did […]

Wind Gap, PA, United States, 2007/03/06 - A human resources and payroll company partner to offer small business additional options.
Core People Resources today announced a partnership with Diversified Payroll Solutions, an accountant-based, family-owned payroll company based in Wyoming, Pennsylvania.
Diversifieds partnership with Core People Resources will expand its web-based full-service payroll offerings to include CPRs web-based HR package. The move allows both companies to expand its offerings on a regional and statewide basis.
We are offering small businesses local service, a higher level of service at a lower rate, says Russ Mehnert, Diversifieds payroll sales manager.
The partnership allows the two local companies to compete head-on with national companies offering similar services to businesses with one to 500 employees.
This allows us to compete against the national packages, says Mehnert. We are blowing them out of the water price-wise. The level of service and the level of expertise is better because we are accountants and HR professionals.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The federal judge who presided over the State House vote-buying case said the U.S. Supreme Court needs to address the line between a campaign contribution and an illegal bribe.
U.S. District Myron Thompson issued an opinion this week noting that there had been "considerable confusion" over exactly what the law requires. Thompson also included his jury instructions during the trial, which showed how he interpreted the issue.
"The court hopes that its jury instructions and this opinion have helped clarify the case law. Ultimately, the Supreme Court needs to address this issue and provide guidance to lower courts, prosecutors, politicians, donors, and the general public," Thompson wrote
The difference between donations and bribes has been at the center of two of the state's high-profile public corruption cases.
A jury convicted former Gov. Don Siegelman of selling a state board appointment to former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy in exchange for $500,000 in donations to Siegelman's lottery campaign
A jury acquitted VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor, two state senators, two former state senators and two others of participating in a conspiracy to buy votes with campaign contributions. Thompson presided over that trial.
Thompson said the vote-buying case demonstrated, there is considerable debate over what the law requires, and the courts have been particularly lax in the use of certain words -- such as explicit, express, agreement, promise and quid pro quo -- that should have clear legal meanings."
"Imprecise diction has caused considerable confusion over the scope of federal corruption laws as applied to campaign contributions. Uncertainty in this area of law breeds corruption and chills legitimate political speech," Thompson wrote
Siegelman, who will be resentenced Aug. 3, has argued that there was not proof of a quid pro quo agreement at his trial and unsuccessfully tried to get the U.S. Supreme Court to review his case.
Lawyers for Siegelman and Scrushy -- who noted there was no trial testimony about what the two men said to each other -- said that, at best, the evidence showed Scrushy wanted the appointment.
But prosecutors urged jurors to look at the totality of the evidence -- including steps Scrushy took to disguise the source of the donation.
In his jury instructions Thompson said that a donation becomes a bribe "when there is a quid pro quo agreement, orally or in writing, that is, a mutual understanding, between the donor and the elected official that a campaign contribution is conditioned on the performance of a specific official action."


text: I just got my first Android phone, a galaxy note, a few days ago. I come from an iPhone so I'm used to the concept of messages from apps, including email, messaging apps, etc, popping up on screen to give me a notification of some recent important event. I'm trying to figure out how to have my phone notify me when I get an email message. With the gmail app and the default settings I'm using right now, the only notification I get is a barely audible sound, and irregularly at that (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). If I look in the notifications bar, I can see the alert, but it doesn't jump out at me - I have to go and look at my notifications to see that I have a new email, etc. Ideally, in addition to a consistent and noticeable sound/vibration, I would like it or a preview to pop up on the screen briefly (including popping up on the lock screen if I'm not using the phone). Is there anything that can accommodate this? If not the native gmail app than perhaps another app? Something similar for skype, line, SMS, facebook etc would also be nice, but I suppose I'll start with email, unless there's an easy way to get them all set up with one app or setting.

White House Seeks More Transparent Environmental Reviews
The Obama administration has proposed new guidance intended to increase transparency and public involvement in the implementation of one of the nation's oldest and most important environmental laws. The 40-year-old National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) creates a process where federal agencies must review the environmental impacts of their actions and evaluate alternatives while working to include public participation in the process.
Recognizing the 40th anniversary of NEPA, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) – the White House office in charge of monitoring federal NEPA compliance – issued draft guidance in February to all federal departments and agencies. The guidance is designed to ensure transparency and openness as agencies evaluate ways to mitigate the environmental impact of their proposed actions. The new guidance is available for public comment.
For many federal activities, the NEPA process provides for public participation in identifying potential alternative actions and commenting on environmental impacts. Under certain circumstances, agencies may proceed with their actions if they commit to steps that "minimize, rectify, reduce, or compensate" the adverse impacts resulting from their actions. However, in the past, these mitigation efforts have often lacked monitoring and frequently failed.
The CEQ draft guidance sets three goals for improving transparency: 1) consideration of mitigation efforts throughout the NEPA process and clear documentation of the mitigation commitments; 2) creation of monitoring plans for the mitigation actions; and 3) greater public participation through "proactive disclosure" of NEPA records.
Although these actions do not create any new regulations and the language still grants agencies much discretion, they regardless represent the first major enhancements of the NEPA process in years. As the office in charge of NEPA, CEQ wields considerable sway in determining how other agencies comply with the law and regulations. Increasing transparency and chipping away at the culture of government secrecy that has flourished over the years requires, among other actions, the reaffirmation of existing openness policies and commitment from the top to enforce these measures.
The draft guidance makes several valuable recommendations for transparency. It recognizes that public engagement is a key feature of NEPA and "should be fully integrated into agencies' mitigation and monitoring processes." While recognizing the importance of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the CEQ calls on agencies to make NEPA reports, documents, and responses to public questions "readily available to the public through online or print media, as opposed to being limited to [FOIA] requests made directly to the agency." The CEQ stresses the need to document important aspects of the NEPA process, such as goals, timelines, and funding, which improves accountability. Moreover, the draft guidance endorses the fundament that citizens have vital, substantive contributions to make to government decisions: "In addition to advancing accountability and transparency, public interest and input may also provide insight or perspective for improving any mitigation activities as well as providing actual monitoring assistance."
The new draft guidance from CEQ also includes a case study from the Department of the Army that showcases robust public involvement and monitoring in the NEPA process. By providing this example, CEQ shows other agencies that the goals they have set for NEPA can be achieved and highlights one way to do so.
Ensuring transparency is especially crucial in the NEPA process. NEPA places agencies in charge of preparing an impact assessment that could challenge their own proposed actions, creating strong potential for conflicts of interest that only transparency can counter. By forcing agencies into a transparent assessment process, the law empowers the public and the courts to demand sufficient environmental protections.
Other New Draft Guidance
In addition to the draft guidance on mitigation measures, CEQ also released draft guidance on how agencies should consider the impacts of climate change in their environmental assessments and on the use of "categorical exclusions." Categorical exclusions cover types of federal actions that are generally considered to "not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment," and therefore, agencies need not assess their environmental impacts.
According to CEQ, "An inappropriate reliance on categorical exclusions may thwart the purposes of NEPA, compromising the quality and transparency of agency decisionmaking as well as the opportunity for meaningful public participation and review." Categorical exclusions are the most frequently employed method of complying with NEPA.
The draft guidance on categorical exclusions emphasizes the requirement to involve the public in the process, and although it creates no new requirements, the guidance encourages agencies to go beyond the customary Federal Register public-notice-and-comment practice. The CEQ suggests agencies use "public involvement techniques such as focus groups, e-mail exchanges, conference calls, and web-based forums [to] stimulate public involvement." Agency websites should be used to communicate proposed changes to the agency's NEPA process because, according to CEQ, "Not only is this another method for involving the public, an agency website can serve as the centralized location for informing the public about agency NEPA implementing procedures and their use, and provide access to updates and supporting information."
Granddaddy of Environmental Laws
Before the law was signed by President Richard Nixon in 1970, the Senate passed NEPA on a unanimous vote, and the House of Representatives passed the bill by a wide and bipartisan margin of 372-15. The Clinton White House examined the effectiveness of NEPA in 1997 and concluded that:
Partly as a result of NEPA, public knowledge of and sophistication on environmental issues have significantly increased over the last 25 years. So too have public demands for effective and timely involvement in the agency decision-making processes. The success of a NEPA process heavily depends on whether an agency has systematically reached out to those who will be most affected by a proposal, gathered information and ideas from them, and responded to the input by modifying or adding alternatives, throughout the entire course of a planning process.
During the administration of George W. Bush, NEPA came under increasing attack by the White House, Congress, and even the courts. The current administration has presented a very different take on the law.
In a New Year's Eve proclamation recognizing the 40th anniversary of NEPA's enactment, President Obama affirmed that, "my Administration will recognize NEPA's enactment by recommitting to environmental quality through open, accountable, and responsible decision making that involves the American public." The president also called upon executive branch agencies "to promote public involvement and transparency in their implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act. I also encourage every American to learn more about the National Environmental Policy Act and how we can all contribute to protecting and enhancing our environment."
The People Speak
As part of the Obama administration's Open Government Directive, agencies are accepting public comments through website forums dedicated to generating ideas for increasing government openness. A number of individuals have suggested ways to improve the NEPA process, including calls to address the monitoring of mitigation efforts. Other ideas from the public include using new technology to improve public participation and making the scientific data mappable.
The public may comment on the draft guidance until May 24.

By the way, I do believe this is a baby wild pig (Sus scrofa). Well, it's a wild monkey too.

Very cute, but I have to wonder how well treated both of these animals are. Neither is an adult (where are the parents?) and the monkey just seems desperate for something to cling to.

Such a cute video! Have you played the game based on it? It uses the same catchy song and is super adorable.

Blue Man Group
From its inception in the 1980s performance-art scene in New York, the Blue Man Group's shows have evolved from impromptu sets in Central Park to stages across the world. The eponymous blue-skinned trio, described by Time Magazine as "a sensation!" combine their signature moments with new techniques, and are still bewildered by the telescoping tubes of PVC piping they uses as instruments and the appreciative applause of the audience. But the group's shows are nothing if not timely, deftly posing questions about creativity and stardom.
The spectacle is equal parts aural and visual, with live rock bands accompanying the men as they tap out rhythms on tangled snarls of pipe and flail wobbly poles covered in neon lights. Videos provide context for the speechless drummers, as well as a constant stream of wry humor. Evenings with the Blue Man Group build to a festive conclusion, bathing the audience in brilliant bursts of light and an all-out dance party.

Fans angered by sellout of State Fair concert
Posted August 2, 2013
Updated August 3, 2013
Fans of the band Florida Georgia Line, the artists behind the catchy summer single "Cruise," expressed frustration Friday after tickets to the band's concert at the North Carolina State Fair sold out within minutes.
Brian Long, spokesman state Department of Agriculture which runs the fair, said about 4,300 tickets were available online Thursday, and buyers snapped them up in five minutes. More than 10,000 people were in the queue 30 minutes before tickets went on sale at 10 a.m., he said.
"That many people going online at one time and snatching up a limited number of tickets, that's what happens," Long said. "You sell out very quickly."
Yet tickets are still available, for a price. "They're selling $10 tickets for $75 to $100," one fan said. Lori Tennant found tickets available almost immediately on ticket reseller Stubhub.com.
Tennant wanted to buy the tickets as a birthday gift for her daughter.
"You know what makes me mad about this," she asked. "This is the NC State Fair. I always thought this was something for the families, something for us to enjoy, and now it's turning into commercialism."
Tennant recommended that fair tickets be made available first to in-state residents.
Long said he has heard the complaints, but there is little that organizers can do.
"I don't know that it's fair that there's people out there who take advantage of the technology or the venue and do this," Long said, "But we certainly tried to take steps to make sure everybody had a chance to get online and get those tickets."
Buying tickets in bulk and reselling them at a markup is well within the law, Long said, and the fair limited purchasesto 10 tickets at a time.
"Our data show most people bought three or four tickets," he said.
That is little consolation for Tennant and her daughter. "She's extremely disappointed," Tennant said.
