Let's create a Buffalo-Toronto sports corridor
Jack Armstrong is loaded with strong opinions and good ideas. In Canada, thousands of people listen to him. That's because he's the TV analyst for the NBA's Toronto Raptors and a frequent guest on sports talk shows.
Here in Western New York, Armstrong is a considered a hometown guy. (Though New York City born, he lives with his family in Lewiston, not far from Niagara University, where he formerly served as the men's basketball coach.) Thing is, he's more than that. He's a hometown guy who has a deep understanding of Toronto, and he has some real ideas on how Buffalo can better connect with the continent's sixth-largest economy.
Here are two of them:
1. Make the Buffalo Bisons the Triple A farm club of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Armstrong has been talking about this for a while. When we first met, in March 2011, we conducted a half-hour interview sitting on the Raptors' bench after a game at the Air Canada Centre. "I thought it was critical for the Jays to get their Triple A team to be the Bisons," he told, referring to a decision made more than two years earlier, "and the Mets beat them out."
Earlier this month, when Business First held a breakfast sports symposium, Armstrong reiterated that opinion.
"But," he said, "I'm not the one making those decisions."
Conveniently, sitting just six feet away was Jon Dandes, president of Rich Baseball Operations, which oversees the Bisons. Dandes is one of the people making that decision – and now that both the Jays' agreement with Las Vegas and the Bisons' agreement with the Mets are expiring, I think it's time to follow the opinion of Armstrong and so many others. Let's connect the Jays and the Bisons and use baseball to strengthen the sports corridor on the QEW.
2. Create a game-day-only lane on the Peace Bridge.
Both the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres thrive on the business of Canadian fans. Bills CEO Russ Brandon told us that up to 18 percent of the Bills' home-game crowds come from Southern Ontario. That's even more than the team gets from Rochester and Monroe County (up to 17 percent).
Armstrong thinks even more Canadian fans would come to Buffalo if the border crossing could be made more efficient.
"Maybe our elected officials could help improve traffic flow on game days," Armstrong said during our sports symposium. "Make it more attractive for Canadian fans to come to Buffalo."
Afterward, Armstrong and I were chatting casually. "You know," he told me, "why don't they create a lane on the bridge that's just for ticket holders? Show your ticket, show your ID, and go to the game."
It's a good idea – one that would significantly ease congestion and bring more people to the area.
Now let's hope the right people are listening — and willing to act.

6 Things to remember in a new relationship
The start of a new relationship is the best thing that happens to people. At least, it brings up hopes for a better future. It's difficult to stop thinking about each other and we happen to obsess over the other person so much so that we forget our own existence.
The feelings are so overpowering that it difficult to avoid mistakes that can doom future prospects.
The following are the list of things you can act upon right at the beginning in order to have a healthy relationship with your partner.
Getting your "availability" right
Everyone loves adventure. Things that are too easily available, excite none. See to it that you aren't too available all the time. In case, you are always there for him, sure he will appreciate it, but a few might misunderstand you to be a loner. On the other hand, if you act not available all the time, he will misinterpret it for your ignorance. Of course, nobody wants to feel unwanted. People can feel it if things aren't too right. So, try and balance between the two in the relationship. If you can, or are free, make sure you answer him. Also, don't dump every other thing in your life just to be there for him.
Avoid being too dependent
Everyone wants to make the most of time when it comes to relationships. Like you would want to go places with him or want his company all the time. This is quite natural, for you would wish to know him more in the beginning.
However, you can't let go off the fact that he had and still has a life of him own. Things attached to him will not vanish. Let him enjoy his own space too. Unless it's a mutual feeling, don' force him into meeting you all the time. Initially, he might as well be fine with it, but not too long. It will suffocate him slowly.
The more space you provide, the more he will love your sense of understanding and supporting him. This will make your relationship stronger.
Avoid dictating his choice of friends
You can't just avoid the fact that your boyfriend has friends who are women. Don't ask him to avoid them just because you have come into his life. Had they been right for him, he wouldn't have wanted you in the first place. Respect his friends , no matter which sex they belong to. Just like you wouldn't wish your boyfriend to dictate as to who you should be friends with, the same goes for you too.
Keep your friends close forever
It is very common for people to be so engulfed into each other that they forget their friends. This is a sin, I would say. Don't forget people who have been there for you when your boyfriend wasn't even in the scene. If you keep your friends close, not just will that be healthy for your relationship but for your personal space as well.
Communicate your issues
Instagram Account: ashish.langade
Communication is the best way to have your relationships flourish. Since your boyfriend is really new into your life, it will take him time to understand you, your likes and dislikes. You should completely debunk the idea of over expecting from him. Tell him all that you expect from this relationship, what turns you off or your principles and ethics which you expect him to respect. Be honest in all that you tell him. In an attempt to impress him, don't distort facts about yourself. If he has to stay, he will, no matter what kind of truth you spill. He doesn't deserve being lied to.
Avoid repeatedly getting him into "future talking"
Sure everyone expects the best to happen. But you cannot be too sure of the future. Stop pestering him to see his future wife in you. Stop asking him to move in with you or vice versa. If things go smooth and to the best of intentions, everything will fall in place. Try and make the most of this moment.
Get into the secrets of making your relationship happier, now!

Today was our Parker's tenth birthday! What a sweet day. But I must admit, having two out of five in the double digits is ... well, different. All day long I just kept thinking about that. My world of a house full of little people is starting to change. There are four years between my older two, but not even two between my second and third ... just three between the third and fourth and then not even two between the last two. Okay, I'm certain if any of you followed that it is only because you read over it a couple of times:). My point is that for so long we were a family of make believe and simple. That is changing. We enjoyed one in the double digits a while but it's not going to be long before they are all there. Every night, every single night I lay in bed and think more about how few the years are with the girls at home, than I do about all the years behind us. No, no, no ... I 'm not thinking this in an "I can't wait!" sort of way, nor am I thinking of this in a "what am I going to do when they are gone?????" sort of way. No, I just think about it. I don't want to miss a single minute. I am excited about what the future holds, because I know how amazing the past has been. It is all so bittersweet to me and it is all coming, well, maybe ... just maybe a tad bit too fast. I'd like to say all of this is because Richard has missed so much of it. But I'm sure that I'd feel this way even if he hadn't:).
In looking back at old images I have on my computer, I found this one of Richard in Iraq.
Oh my word!! He looks like he is right out of college! (high school maybe:)!!) Where has the time gone?!
I also came across a blog yesterday where a wife was talking about the struggles of reintegration ... of when our soldiers come home and how it has been very difficult for her family. That post made me sad. Richard and I have not had a perfect relationship. Anyone who is married, military or not, is not surprised by that. But we are still together and what a humbling blessing that is!
If you've read even just a handful of my posts, you know that I struggle with Richard gone. While I fully support him (and all too many times I even catch myself encouraging him:)!), I wish so much that he were home more. But what you may not know is that while I want him home so much, I want even more to live life to the fullest with or without him here. I want to honor him as his wife and love my girls the way they need it ... even when I feel like I cannot muster up one more smile. I want to do my best and praise God ... especially when everything within me is telling me that it's all just too much.
I mess up a whole lot and fall all to short of this goal daily, but I am humbly learning through all of this new ways to be on my knees. And honestly, I think that's a great place to be.
It was a special day for our Parker. She's growing up! She's going to do well in life and be a hard little worker one day:). And don't be surprised if you see her swimming for BAMA one day! She's totally built for swimming (and loves it!!). I was happy Richard was able to FaceTime her this morning. She was literally beaming with delight! It was so sweet to hear her tell him that she liked to "see" him and loved how he "always smiled so big":). Love that girl and that soldier of mine!!
Oh and I didn't make our tried and true sweet potato cake this year, but a new recipe that was really very, very good! You can find it here.
Okay, I'm babbling ...
Thankful for today. Blown away that this girl has had four birthdays at 57!! Excited to have another "event" without Richard behind us. Looking forward to having him home to celebrate with us next year!
To God be the Glory.

FELIPE MASSA didn't have the winning send off he would have liked in his last home Grand Prix after crashing in awful conditions.
Massa's Williams car crashed in lap 48 as the Brazilian struggled to cope with the endless downpour on his home track of Interlagos.
Massa escaped the circuit and the weather to huge cheers from the crowd as it finally hit home that one of greats of F1 is about to retire.
The Brazilian fought back tears as he was overwhelmed by the emotion coming from his home crowd.
Massa said: "It's difficult to explain the feeling. To not manage to finish the race, for my fans, for Brazil.
The pits were united in showing their appreciation as all the crews paid homage to a sporting great who has given everything to the sport he loves dearly.
Massa was given a guard of honour as he walked to meet his wife Anna Raffaella and son Felipinho whom he hugged, kissed and sobbed.
Lewis Hamilton eventually won a very dangerous Grand Prix that saw a number of cars aquaplaning across the track with the worry that life threatening accidents could be on the verge of unfolding if the weather was to continue to get worse.
Fortunately there were no serious injuries amongst the crashes and the debris as the championship is still left hanging in the balance.

I'm using IntelliJ 2016 for ImageJ plugin development. I have some dependenciesthat I added successfully, the two external libraries show up in the form of jar files . I've added them in project structure -> module -> dependencies and they show up correctly under external libraries as well (added them to POM) , the classes show up inside them, and the dependency scope is set to compile.
One of them is being imported successfully, while the other is not. The one that works is in a sub folder in the jar
import fiji.threshold.Auto_Local_Threshold;the other one is right under the jar and the name is not recognized when I try:
import fiji.threshold.Auto_Local_Threshold;
import MultipleKymograph_;I'm not sure what is the thing I'm missing but it might be that the only classes that I can't access are directly in the jars.
import MultipleKymograph_;
Can you help me import it to use in my plugin?
Thank you for your time!
Dear @Youcefhd,
this SO question is very related, although it's not specifically about IntelliJ:
You could file an issue at the GitHub project and/or create a PR (that moves the classes into a package s.t. they can be imported). If you need help with that, just let us know!
Thanks a lot. I will do that.
Thanks to @Youcefhd's efforts, the Multi Kymograph plugin is now in the package sc.fiji.multiKymograph. See fiji/Multi_Kymograph#1 for details.

The project investigates the case for both investors and the public sector to make the necessary investments into 'good density' to make cities more vibrant, liveable and sustainable.
The first phase of the research specifies and benchmarks the relationship between urban form and good density to identify what contributes to successful urban development.
The second phase of the research looks at both positive and negative factors related to urbanisation (e.g. transportation, carbon emissions. green and blue spaces and economic vibrancy) to explore whether it is possible to establish a correlation between urban form and property investment returns that can be applied in cities in developed and developing countries. A selection of case cities is identified for further analysis in a later stage of the research programme.
Associations between urban form, good density and human well-being are identified, providing useful indicators to support decision making on urban development for planners, designers and real estate investors. The project is funded by ULI and NCE in collaboration with a high level consortium of global fund managers and investors.

Tarzan will return with Samuel L. Jackson
Ron Seifried | On 11, Dec 2013
Yes, you read that right. According to Variety, Samuel L. Jackson is in talks to co-star in yet another franchise in his illustrious career. This time it's Warner Bros. reboot of Tarzan starring True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard and directed by David Yates from the Harry Potter series. This long gestating project may finally go into production with Jackson's involvement. This will be the first big screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' creation since 1984's Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes starring Christopher Lambert.
In what was originally Jamie Foxx's part, Jackson has been interested in the project since the beginning. Jackson is steamrolling toward the record books with most franchise appearances. He resume of over 100 films includes collectively the all-time highest gross of any actor. This feat could not of been accomplished without his involvement in several franchises, including Die Hard, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Terminator, xXx, the current series of Avenger films and he is also co-starring in the upcoming remake of RoboCop.


text: How many business's have you owned? I have owned and still own a few. Just wondering if anyone else has. It can be Amway to Travel business to anything else. What was your experience with the other business? I'll start; 1) Flat broke started carpet cleaning company 1985-1992 with a Kirby shampooer and moved to Von Schraders (Dyna-Clean) 2) Bought a "mailing/shipping" store. (Wish I would have kept it now since I sell a few items) 3) I sold my carpet business in 1992. (Made a lot & took 3 years off. It was a 5 truck operation. If I hadn't sold it where would be double my size today,but would not be so diversified) 4) Started,owned and sold vacuum store chain 1988-1991 (Jumped out market because of vacuums being sold cheap in dime stores) 5) Started another carpet company late 1993-present (Drynclean) 6) Started a termite & pest control company late 1993-present (Zap Pest Control) 7) Started a water damage company (Flood-X) 2000-present 8) Started TMF with my son in 2007 9) Started a rug spa 2012-present 10) Started Clean Informer magazine with my son. 2013-present Who knows but I hear most men don't become extremely successful until there late 40's and 50's. I'm 53 and feel more focused than ever. I am always keeping my eyes open. About 15 years ago I invested in land in Wilmington NC. (A friend of mine is a land developer there and he said buy acres because it would skyrocket in value back then) Just about every penny profit I make I try to invest in real estate. (You will find real estate to be the best investments over time) Over the last year and half I have been reading every marketing piece I can get my hands on and meeting with entrepreneurs who have broken through the glass ceiling,including but not limited to IBM former president,Howard Partridge,Joe Polish,Score,the former owner of Pioneer Eclipse,Liberty Tax franchise owner and Fritz Thompson who owns the carpet cleaning franchise PCS. How about you? Have you ever owned another bushiness? Rob _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

What people are saying:
"Community journalism is evolving as an exercise in participation, not merely as observation."
J-Lab's New Media Women Entrepreneurs Initiative undertook this study to understand how women are interacting with news, participating in the news, creating the news and consuming the news. Funded by the McCormick Foundation, the study explored perspectives and behavior with regard to both new and traditional media. Using focus groups and in-depth interviews among women news consumers and news creators, the research lends important insights into the impact the changing media landscape is having on how journalism is being practiced and how it is being consumed.
The study included four focus groups, three among women news consumers and one among women news creators (primarily traditional news creators, but with some who are creating in new media) and 11 in-depth interviews among new-media news creators who are founders and editors of online news sites serving geographic areas. The research was done between April and July of 2009.

In response to last year's Black Friday actions, Walmart filed a lawsuit in Washington state court against OUR Walmart and its supporters alleging trespass and requesting a court order to prohibit future OUR Walmart actions inside and outside of Walmart stores.
OUR Walmart fought the lawsuit and successfully persuaded the Washington judge to dismiss it because Walmart's state court lawsuit violated federal labor law that requires Walmart to present its issues only to the NLRB. Walmart had filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB prior to filing its lawsuit.
This legal win means that Walmart cannot seek trespass injunctions against OUR Walmart or its supporters for future actions in Washington. The win will also help OUR Walmart's legal team to make similar arguments in other states that have Walmart trespass lawsuits pending, including Ark., Calif., Colo., Fla., and Texas.
OUR Walmart members have announced widespread protests for Black Friday in 2013. As Black Friday approaches, the campaign is asking allies to commit to supporting OUR Walmart members as they take action this holiday shopping season by signing the petition at http://bit.ly/15H42nj.

Best things to do in Urayasu and sightseeing in Urayasu
Tokyo Disney Sea - Urayasu
Tokyo DisneySea - Urayasu
Disneysea is different from Disneyland. Disneyland is available in Hongkong, Paris, America, and so on. But Disneysea is only available in Tokyo, Japan. Yes, it's the one and only just in Tokyo. Disneysea has two main show that you won't and shouldn't miss. Both show is located on the Mediteranian Sea (at the centre of the lake). The first show is around 2.30 p.m, and the second show is the closing show, at 9.00 p.m. If you want to see it from a good spot, then you must wait there about 1 hour before the show started. It's really worth it and I'm sure you wouldn't miss it ! Not only the main show, Disneysea also have some Disney Parade at a certain hour, and it's also worth to see. Personally, I think that visiting Disneysea for one day is not enough. There are lots of attractions that you should see, lots of rides that you shouldn't miss, lots of snacks that you should try, lots of cute souvenir that you should see around! Must eat food in Disneysea : Chicken (near Indiana Jones, in Lost River Delta), Churros (I try the one near Toy Story), Popcorn (It's everywhere), Disney Ice Cream (it's everywhere), Cafe Portofino (Located near Mediteranian Sea, has a very nice spot, Recommended for lunch, try the one that has cheese and prawns at the top)

Laura Axelrod is a writer, filmmaker and actor.
She recently wrote, directed and narrated the documentary, "Becoming Colonel Cullmann." The film explores historical re-enactors and why one man portrays a town's founder. It was screened at Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham in 2014. The film is still making its way around the film festival circuit.
She was curator at The Clyde Fitch Report, a site that focuses on politics and the arts. Laura interviewed influential leaders and tied personal experiences to current events. She also created and curated The Marbury Project, a column that explored gender inequality and the arts.
Her entertainment articles and book reviews have appeared in The Birmingham News (Ala) and al.com, Alabama's largest newsgathering site. Newhouse News Service distributed her reviews, which were subsequently published by The Houston Chronicle, The Seattle Times, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Grand Rapids Press and other newspapers across the country.
Her stage plays have been performed in California, New York and Europe. Her play, "Everybody in This House" is available through Original Works Publishing. Reviewed by The Stage, the play was called "superbly written" and "totally uncompromising".
Her play, "Searching for the Sign," was read at the Last Frontier Theatre Conference in 2013. The play also received honorable mention in the American Blues Theater 2013 Blue Ink Contest.
Laura's experimental storytelling was also showcased through her blog, Project 1968. The site featured daily blog entries in the voices of three female characters as they experienced events from that pivotal year. She also interviewed noted authors and developed news summaries to give background information. Educause, a nonprofit that assists higher education IT professionals, cited Project 1968 as an example of a new genre, Web 2.0 Storytelling.
She studied at New York University, Tisch School of the Arts, receiving her MFA and BFA in Dramatic Writing. She was awarded the John L. Golden Award for Playwright with Most Potential and the Rod Marriott Senior Playwriting Award. She is a member of The Dramatists Guild.

text: Is anyone aware of any gourmet vegetarian (or natural foods) restaurants in the Boston area? I'm looking for something akin to the Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca, NY, with creative, healthy cuisine, but without any specific ethnic focus. I like The Five Seasons in Brookline, but it would be nice to have some other choices. Any recommendations?

BriefOverviewofABusinessPlanPosted on November 28, 2006, in Uncategorized, with 0 Comments
The following is a list of common attributes associated with a business plan.
- A business plan is a summary of how a business or entrepreneur intends to organize an entrepreneurial endeavor and the activities to implement to succeed.
- It is a written explanation of the company's business model.
- Business plans are developed for ventures in both business and government.
- Business plans are used internally for management and planning and are also used to convince outsiders such as banks or venture capitalists to invest money into a venture.
- Business plans are noted for often quickly becoming out of date.
- One common belief within business circles is that the actual plan may have little value, but what is more important is the process of planning, through which the owner or manager gains a greater understanding of the business and of the options available.
- A business plan is prepared in such a way as to communicate how the company/product serves the customer.

Master Playwright Marketing Class with Caroline Russell-King
10:00 am - 3:00 pm
February 4th 2017
PTC (#202 – 739 Gore Ave)$49 - Graciously subsidized by PGC!
Pre-register at email@example.com
We will be spending our time looking at Caroline's MADS model for success. This workshop was presented at the women's caucus at the PGC Edmonton AGM and has been written up.
We are told we are all MAD to try to make a living in the arts but this is how I've done it! M= Market, A is about auditing (who knew?), D is for diversifying and S is how to sustain our income when we are sometimes outside the artistic process and cut off from theatre. You will end up with a game plan and hopefully see more income for 2017!

In this 1903 children's classic, 10-year-old Rebecca is energetic, high-spirited, and full of mischief. The two aunts who are raising her on a Maine farm try to turn her into a proper young lady - which eventually happens. Adults enjoy the book as well, especially the vivid glimpses of turn-of-the-century New England and its virtues.
Another title celebrating a century marker, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin, appears with new illustrations by Barbara McClintock. Her signature artwork with its period details, which appears as full-color plates throughout, seems particularly well suited to this cheery heroine. The illustrations impart a cozy, familiar feel to a long-ago world, and reveals a lively, generous spirit in the heroine who leaves her home to live with her two elderly aunts.

Camarillo, California (PressExposure) November 03, 2009 -- As we go about our daily tasks of running a home business opportunity I get a little choked up when I come across a success story. So I thought I would share a story that I got to see first hand.
Let me tell you that I like many of you that has a home business opportunity I talk to people every day that are literally on their last leg of trying to start a business from home.
The stories that I get about trying many different programs and hearing them tell me that there was always something missing. Either the training they had was useless, or the entire opportunity folded just as they started to pick up speed with their marketing efforts.
There are many reasons why it just did not work out for them. About two months ago I got a call from Sarah. She told me that she was just about finished trying to start her own business. She was just so frustrated.
She was attracted to my business because the one thing that I offer is personal one on one guidance. I just feel that is what is missing for many people, as it was for me.
Sarah did join my business and I worked with her right from the start. After hearing all the trouble she had been through and all the programs she has been involved with in the past, it was no shock to me that she really had more skills than she realized.
I understand this because as we go through one thing after another, we keep learning things and picking up stuff here and there. Even she did not realize how much she had picked up until we started using it in the right places.
So we created a plan of attack and we started her doing the things that would drive some traffic to her business as soon as possible. Gradually I suggested adding some free SEO stuff to her daily schedule.
So for the last two months she has a list of things that she does every day consistently. This is not hard tasks. She is very smart and she does these things very easily.
She just needed a little help when she got stuck and just knowing that she has someone she could call when she needs help was all she needed to get her confidence back.
As the weeks have gone by she has been consistently making sales and attracting new people to her business. Sarah has passed this concept on to her people as well and now she is making enough from her override payments to finally leave that lousy job she was working.
She called me up and thanked me as she has done many times over the last couple months. I have to say that it's the most incredible feeling when someone says something like that to you.
It feels a little like when you finally start having success with you home business opportunity. It's a feeling of accomplishment and also it's a viral effect.
What I mean is if you treat people like you wish to be treated, the word and attitude starts to spread and everything good will come your way!
To your success!

Flow of viscous fluid in time dependent domain
Global existence of weak solution of full system in time-dependent domain
Our goals is the study of the global existence of a weak solution in the case of a bounded or an exterior domains for the Navier or Dirichlet type of boundary conditions. We will use the method introduced in
E. Feireisl: Dynamics of viscous compressible fluids, 2004
for fixed domain and we will also apply the penalization method.
Relative entropy inequality.
We will focus on the derivation of the relative entropy inequality in the case of time-dependent domain. We will use the results from fixed domain introduced in
E. Feireisl and A. Novotný: Weak-strong uniqueness for the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system, 2012
Singular limits
We shall study the singular limits in the regime of low Mach number. From this follows that the limit system (target system) is the system of incompressible flow in the time-dependent domain. We will use the results from
E. Feireisl, O. Kreml, Š. Nečasová, J. Neustupa, J. Stebel: Incompressible limits of fluids excited by moving boundaries, 2014
, where barotropic case was studied, and also the results for fixed domains.
Weak solution of viscous flow around rotating rigid
body and his asymptotic behavior.
We will focus on the problem of existence of weak solution in weighted Lorentz spaces to get the asymptotic behavior of flow around a body. Because of the lack of the regularity in L
spaces it is necessary to go into more complicated structure of Lorentz spaces, where the integrability of convective term is satisfied. Moreover, we would like to study the relative entropy inequality in the case of compressible flow around rotating body.

Filters, Ultrafilters and Connections with Forcing
The project falls within the scope of Set Theory & Foundations of Mathematics, specifically Combinatorial Set Theory and Forcing. We will investigate new combinatorial and forcing methods for constructing ultrafilters with special properties in different models of Set Theory.It will use these methods to answer independence questions about ultrafilters (no P-points with a large continuum or small character filters), structural questions about filters (which ultrafilters/filters contain towers) and questions about the related cardinal invariants (independence number, free sequence number). It is known that current methods cannot answer some of these questions so the project will have to come up with novel ideas. The methods used will include forcing iterations, diamond-like constructions, preservation theorems and methods from descriptive set theory.

Dynamics of mutli-component fluids
The goal of the project is studying qualitative properties of a particular class of the so-called energetically weak solutions to complex system of the Navier-Stokes-Fourier type as well as Coupling of these systems with the phase transition equations of the Cahn-Hilliard or Allen-Cahn type. We plan to investigate these problems also in unbounded physical domains in appropriate classes of uniformly bounded functions.
The main goal is obtaining new results in the following directions:
• applications of the relative entropy methods and the consequences concerning stability of the so-called dissipative solutions
• singular limits, in particular the sharp interface limits with rigorous mathematical justification
• long-time dynamics, with a particular emphasis on the existence of bounded absorbing sets, asymptotic compactness of greajectories and the relevant questions concerning the attractors and their structure and complexity

Phenomenological modeling of polymeric smart foams with behavior controlled by the magnetic field
The aim of the collaboration is to develop and test experimentally a reliable mathematical model for magnetic foams taking into account hysteresis effects in the material, with the goal to provide, as output, parameters needed to obtain optimal performance in both "passive" (structural reinforcement and gradient properties) and "active" modes (actuation and control through magnetic field) of lightweight porous polymeric structures reinforced with aligned magnetic particles. The average distribution, size and shape of particles, their magnetic characteristics, and mechanical properties of the foam will be considered as processing parameters. Homogenization techniques will be adopted in order to derive simple constitutive relationships for low computational requirements. The developed constitutive model will be phenomenological, while the governing equations will be based on the magnetic and mechanical balance laws. The development and validation of the model will be performed by comparing predictions with experiments.

Logic and Topology in Banach spaces
The project is devoted to the study of topological and geometric properties of Banach spaces and their duals, aiming at a better understanding of their structure. Properties of the weak topology often imply important geometric properties of the Banach space in question. On the other hand, geometric properties of the Banach space often give information about its weak topology. Similar statements are true for duals of Banach spaces with the weak-star topology. We are going to explore this interplay in detail. The main project goals are:
1. Developing new tools for constructing and studying Banach spaces, using techniques from set theory and category theory.
2. Exploring different types of networks and related concepts in weak topologies, determining connections with renorming theory.
Results of Goal 1 will lead to new examples, settling some of the problems concerning interplay between geometric and topological properties of non-separable Banach spaces. Goal 2 will lead to a better understanding of the weak topology and its relations to the geometric structure of a Banach space.

Performance and thermodynamic aspects of incrementally non-linear constitutive equations of the rate type
Although first models of hypoplasticity were proposed some decades ago, their properties have not yet been sufficiently understood, neither from the viewpoint of general applicability to large classes of technical problems, nor from the viewpoint of their mathematical well-posedness and numerical complexity. In special cases, however, there is evidence of their strong modeling potential for describing irreversible deformations, in particular in the case of granular or porous solids. The goal of this project is to exploit the complementary knowledge and experience of its participants, and classify the individual models within a larger thermomechanical context. The models will be investigated both analytically and numerically, and the results will be compared with known experimental data published in the literature, which will enable us to decide about their applicability for solving practical problems.

The continuum, forcing and large cardinals
The work shall study interactions between large cardinals and forcing and also with regard to properties of the continuum. The work shall be divided into three subtopics:
(1) First subtopic is called "Combinatorial properties of cardinals and the continuum function". The focus shall be on the impact of several combinatorial properties on the continuum function (a function which maps kappa to the size of the powerset of kappa). As Easton showed, without extra assumptions, there is very little ZFC can prove about the continuum function on regulars. However, once we start to consider large cardinals, or in general combinatorial properties often formulated in the context of large cardinals (tree property, square principles, etc.), suddenly the situation is much more interesting. Subtopic 1 studies these connections.
(2) Second subtopic is called"Combinatorial characteristics of the continuum and the Mathias forcing". This subtopic focuses on the real line from the point of certain combinatorial characteristics which shall be studied by means of the Mathias forcing. This forcing is determined by a filter on the powerset of omega. Thus it is natural to study the connections between the combinatorial properties of filters and the properties of the real line. This subtopic combines set theory and topology.
(3) The third subtopic is called "New developments in the template iterations." Template iterations is a modern forcing method with the potential to show new results regarding the combinatorial characteristics of the real line. Among the main problems to be studied are: obtaining cardinal characteristics with singular values, application of template iterations on non-definable posets, and finally the application of the method with the mixed finite and countable support. These new approaches will be useful in obtaining new results.

Topics in set theory: Traces of large cardinals, variants of Hechler's theorem, and ultrafilters on countable sets
The goal of the project is to expand the collaboration between specialists working in different areas of Set Theory. We shall, in particular, try to exploit the complementary expertise of the Czech and Austrian teams while solving problems on the borders of traditional areas of research (large cardinals, forcing, infinitary combinatorics, topology) and encourage mutual cross-fertilization and inspiration sharing. The main goal is to encourage new members of both Czech and Austrian research teams to interact in join international research, to explore new possibilities for scientific collaboration, and to introduce international contacts enabling applications for funding with more ambitious join projects in future years.

For a while now I've been eyeing the beautiful cotton string that macrame artists use. From the limited research I did, I saw that there are strings that are braided and strings that are twisted (and probably a lot of other information that I haven't learned yet). The twisted string quickly became my target, because all I could think about was the amazing fringe/tassels/texture that I could create with it, especially having the option to un-twist it if I wanted. Once I was done daydreaming I searched for the cotton string of my dreams. Surprisingly a lot of what I found was outside of the U.S. so the shipping was waaayyy more then the actual price of the string (you know, because a spool of it is heavy!).
I kind of put this in the back of my head, waiting to see if my desire for the string out weight the cost of shipping. So fast forward to a month ago, when I interviewed my talented fiber friend Cindy of Niroma Studios, and she told me she was going to start selling cotton macrame string!!! I was so excited (she's in the U.S.!), I bought myself a spool of 3 mm cotton string as fast as I possibly could! And of course I wanted to share, incase anyone else has been looking for this type of fiber too!
It's funny how gorgeous a simple cotton can be. I love this string. It is so soft and has such a nice natural color. And to be honest, I wasn't quite sure what I would make with it. I had a lot of ideas, but I've never worked with something like this, I kept wondering if any of my ideas even work? Weeks have passed since I bought this string and finally I just decided to go for it. I'm in the process of making a weave, that I'll share with you later this week. I hope it will be finished and look great, but no guarantees
If you've been looking for macrame string like this too, you can get it from Niroma Studios here.
What's a new-to-you material you've tried out recently or plan on trying out? Did it work out like you expected? Did you learn anything new from what you made?
Happy Weaving!

Aeronautics Training Platform
Objective: developing and promoting a study program suited to the needs of the aeronautics industry.
Over recent years, the aerospace industry has been faced with major technological challenges – to meet new environmental constraints aimed at reducing aircraft emissions, fuel consumption, noise, etc. It is also confronted with industrial challenges – to cope with increasing market demand.
As an example, the civil aviation market has been growing 5% a year and will need 31,000 to 36,000 new aircraft over the next 20 years. The production of the Airbus A320 NEO will thus be stepped up from the current 42 aircraft per month to 50 in 2017 and 60 in 2020.
To address this challenge, the University of Bordeaux is working on the development and promotion of study programs suited to industry needs, via the Initiative of Excellence of the University of Bordeaux. It boasts recognized skills and study programs, such as those offered by IMA in Mérignac on aircraft maintenance. Over 400 students are currently enrolled in these multi-disciplinary programs, which enable all of them to find employment rapidly.
In collaboration with its industrial partners, the University of Bordeaux is continuing its development through the dissemination and content of its innovative, ambitious projects focused on aircraft maintenance: creation of international study programs, creation of e-learning programs, integration of virtual reality in the programs, development of simulators, etc.
Through the deployment of privileged partnerships with regional industries, additional skills and knowledge are put to use by the University of Bordeaux, with the backing of data stemming from research and innovation.

Speaking to the press in St. Petersburg, Vladimir Putin explained his views on Syria — and they made sense.
The Russian president was viewed as the lone holdout against a more aggressive response to the Syrian civil war when leaders of the Group of Eight met in Ireland this week. Stephen Harper complained that Russia was supporting "thugs" in Syria. Barack Obama had a private session with Putin that was reported to be tense. In the end, the G-8 leaders issued a declaration that committed them to little more than they had already proposed: a peace conference in Geneva at which all Syrian sides would be pressed to attend.
"They are terrorists and they must be treated as terrorists. We have to unite, all of us, against the bad guys."
Russia is one of Syria's arms suppliers and its refusal to help push Bashar al-Assad from power is generally treated as reprehensible. Since assad unleashed Syrian forces to kill fellow Syrians, 93,000 people have died.
But Cold War ideologies aside, Putin's position is reasonable.
"We are concerned about the possible appearance of a political vacuum in Syria if some decisions about a change of government in Syria are taken now," Putin told a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to Reuters. (BTW, when was the last time Stephen Harper had a press conference and answered more than one or two questions?).
"Assad goes today, a political vacuum emerges – who will fill it? Maybe these terrorist organisations," Putin said. "Nobody wants this – but how can it be avoided? After all, they are armed and aggressive." … "There is only one reasonable idea, which everybody supported at the G8. It is to force all conflicting sides to come to Geneva … and sit at the negotiating table, stop the violence, and find acceptable forms for the future structure of their state and the provision of security for all ethnic and religious groups." He repeated Russia's position that Assad's fate and Syria political future should not be decided by outsiders. "Should Assad stay, should he go, what forms of political leadership should emerge, what constructs – you and I should not impose these things on the Syrian people from abroad," Putin said.
His position may be self-serving — Russia has an important naval base in Syria and a lucrative customer for its arms — but it doesn't detract from the logic of the argument. The U.S. interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Moscow's own failed effort to run Afghanistan, demonstrate the futility of outside forces, especially from such different cultures, trying to remake troubled countries in their own image.
Syrians have to reshape Syria, and, as Putin suggests, "it is … not the Syrian people that are fighting against Assad, but militants, well trained and armed." One of the most effective fighting groups trying to topple Assad is Jabhat al-Nusra, an extemist Islamic militia allied to al-Qaeda. On the other side of the divide is Hezbollah, a designated terrorist organization from Lebanon that is supporting the Syrian regime.
"They are terrorists and they must be treated as terrorists," Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told Bloomberg. "We have to unite, all of us, against the bad guys."
Putin reflected the same view: "If the United States … recognizes one of the key Syrian opposition organizations, al-Nusra, as terrorist … how can one deliver arms to those opposition members? Where will they end up? What role will they play?"
It may conflict with the view that arming the oppositon and setting up a no-fly zone is the answer to the conflict. But it's not illegitimate just because it comes from Moscow. Sometimes Russians can be right too.

A Thousand Thoughts
A Live Documentary by Sam Green and Kronos Quartet
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sam Green and Kronos have teamed up to create a "live documentary." The wildly creative multimedia experiment blends live music and narration with archival footage and filmed interviews with such prominent artists as Philip Glass, Tanya Tagaq, Steve Reich, Wu Man, and Terry Riley. As Green tells our story, he crafts an important record and exploration of late 20th and early 21st-century music. Transcending the typical live cinema event, A Thousand Thoughts quickly becomes a meditation on music itself – the act of listening to it closely, the experience of feeling it deeply, and the power that it has to change the world.

Bayern Munich reach deal with Roma to sign defender Benatia
German champions Bayern Munich have won the race to sign highly-rated defender Mehdi Benatia from Roma.
The 27-year-old Morocco international had reportedly been a target for both Arsenal and Manchester United after excelling at the Stadio Olimpico to help Roma finish second in the Serie A table last season.
But Bundesliga giants Bayern have now secured his services for the next five years.
A statement published on the club's official website read: "On Tuesday afternoon the German champions reached an agreement with Roma over the transfer of Mehdi Benatia. Both clubs have agreed not to disclose the transfer fee.
"Benatia will come to Munich in the next few days to undergo a medical. The central defender will then sign a five-year contract."
Bayern boss Pep Guardiola, whose side kicked off their latest title defence with a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg at the weekend, has already strengthened his back-line with the summer addition of Juan Bernat from Valencia.
But the loss of Javi Martinez for around six months due to torn cruciate ligaments has necessitated the recruitment of another body in the back four.
Roma took a calculated risk when signing Benatia from Udinese for 13.5 million euros last summer but his commanding performances in the Giallorossi defence were pivotal across a campaign that saw the capital club secure their return to the Champions League.
He made 33 league appearances – scoring five goals – and in 19 of those games, Roma kept a clean sheet.
His final days in Rome have been tinged with bitterness, however. The France-born player recently claimed Roma had reneged on an agreement to increase his wages.
Reports in Italy suggested Roma valued Benatia at no less than 40 million euros but Bayern are understood to have been successful with a bid approaching 30 million euros.
Roma are set to replace the 27-year-old with Olympiacos defender Kostas Manolas, who was on Tuesday undergoing a medical in the Italian capital.

On the play that led to the Hurricanes' third goal, the puck bounced up to his spot on the offensive blueline on a clearing attempt by Tim Gleason. Wideman tried to swat the puck back into the offensive zone but whiffed, creating a breakaway for Brandon Sutter.
"It was just a bad read," Wideman said. "Those are the plays that cost you playoff series, don't let you get into playoffs. A bad play. I should have probably just backed up and took the two-on-one, one-on-one, whatever it ended up being."
His errors were glaring because they led to goals, but they also reflect a turn in Wideman's season.
After making his first-ever all-star appearance in late January, Wideman has recorded just six points (one goal, five assists) and has a minus-5 rating in 18 games. Over the course of 66 games this season, Wideman has 40 total points (10 goals, 30 assists) and is a minus-5.
While there's a certain amount of risk versus reward that comes with offensively-inclined defensemen like Wideman, if they're not scoring the Capitals need them to make minimal mistakes in their own zone.
"In a tie hockey game, that's probably maybe a 50-percent play," Wideman said of the whiff. "It's just stupid."
Coach Dale Hunter agreed: "You can't take chances like that. It's a bouncing puck. You have to back out."
In overtime, Wideman pinched deep into the offensive zone and when Marcus Johansson lost a puck battle along the boards, the defenseman was unable to scramble back into the play. A two-on-one developed with Mike Green, the only Capital back in the defensive zone, unable to prevent Justin Faulk from scoring the game winner.
"He should have stopped and waited," Hunter said of Wideman's play on the game winner. "The puck was jammed on the boards and they got an odd-man rush from it."

Council Preview: The Budget ... and Everything Else
After a daylong budget work session, the Council still have a lot to take on
By Michael King, Fri., May 3, 2013
For a change, this week's City Council meeting (May 2) may well adjourn at a reasonable hour – they're only scheduled to meet in an all-day budget work session from 9am to 4:30pm. The priority subject will be the individual departmental financial forecasts and presentations, but Council members barely began to dig in after last week's initial budget office overview, so expect some interplay on the broader financial forecast and how it might affect budgeting decisions and the all-important property tax rate (see "Happy Times ... in Moderation," April 26).
This year the budget office is trying something a little different: In addition to the work session conversations, departments have been preparing video presentations for Council and public review, also available online (as are Budget in a Box workshop materials for neighborhood associations and other organizations). Last week, Deputy Chief Financial Officer Ed Van Eenoo estimated the total video playing time at around seven eye-glazing hours (although the viewer controls the pacing), which means just about half of them have already been posted on the city's financial services page (look under "Forecast Worksessions"). Note: We may be seeing an entirely new potential venue for politics as "show business for ugly people."
If they survive the budget prep, the Council is readying what looks like an equally daunting draft agenda for the May 9 meeting – and don't expect that one to adjourn in daylight. In addition to more wrangling with the Austin Energy governance question – the much-amended proposal for an independent AE board is up for second reading – newly surfaced (not yet on the draft agenda) is Mayor Lee Leffingwell's proposal to consider some kind of public-private partnership or leasing arrangement for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The mayor suggests this could become a way of underwriting the planned urban rail project without another big bond issuance (and property tax debt), letting "transportation fund transportation." Whether it will fly on the dais (or with the public) is another matter. (The latest word from City Hall is that it won't in fact make the Council agenda before the May 23 meeting.)
Beyond the big picture items, there will be plenty more to debate. Returning is the Bill Spelman/Laura Morrison/Kathie Tovo proposal to toughen the Downtown Density Bonus Program (promoting affordable units) to make it harder for developers to dodge the program via rezoning. The East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (aka "The Neverending Story") returns once again, in several items scheduled in theory for third reading – although that may be an illusion and, like the invocation the entire subject has just become, a permanent part of the agenda. There are scheduled public hearings about rising Texas Gas rates, short-term rental regulations (that should be fun), Rainey Street building relocations, and a neighborhood association appeal of the outdoor music venue permit granted to Fifth Street's Tiniest Bar in Texas. Maybe if they feature Miranda Gil – it's her Proclamation Day – the neighbors will be mollified.
