Witten conjecture
In algebraic geometry, the Witten conjecture is a conjecture about intersection numbers of stable classes on the moduli space of curves, introduced by Witten (1991), and generalized in Witten (1993). Witten's original conjecture was proved by Kontsevich (1992).
Witten's motivation for the conjecture was that two different models of 2-dimensional quantum gravity should have the same partition function. The partition function for one of these models can be described in terms of intersection numbers on the moduli stack of algebraic curves, and the partition function for the other is the logarithm of the τ-function of the KdV hierarchy. Identifying these partition functions gives Witten's conjecture that a certain generating function formed from intersection numbers should satisfy the differential equations of the KdV hierarchy.
Suppose that Mg,n is the moduli stack of compact Riemann surfaces of genus g with n distinct marked points x1,...,xn, and Mg,n is its Deligne–Mumford compactification. There are n line bundles Li on Mg,n, whose fiber at a point of the moduli stack is given by the cotangent space of a Riemann surface at the marked point xi. The intersection index 〈τd1, ..., τdn〉 is the intersection index of Π c1(Li)di on Mg,n where Σdi = dimMg,n = 3g – 3 + n, and 0 if no such g exists, where c1 is the first Chern class of a line bundle. Witten's generating function
encodes all the intersection indices as its coefficients.
Witten's conjecture states that the partition function Z = exp F is a τ-function for the KdV hierarchy, in other words it satisfies a certain series of partial differential equations corresponding to elements Li for i≥–1 of the Virasoro algebra.
Kontsevich used a combinatorial description of the moduli spaces in terms of ribbon graphs to show that
Here the sum on the right is over the set Gg,n of ribbon graphs X of compact Riemann surfaces of genus g with n marked points. The set of edges e and points of X are denoted by X 0 and X1. The function λ is thought of as a function from the marked points to the reals, and extended to edges of the ribbon graph by setting λ of an edge equal to the sum of λ at the two marked points corresponding to each side of the edge.
By Feynman diagram techniques, this implies that F(t0,...) is an asymptotic expansion of
as Λ lends to infinity, where Λ and Χ are positive definite N by N hermitian matrices, and ti is given by
and the probability measure μ on the positive definite hermitian matrices is given by
where cΛ is a normalizing constant. This measure has the property that
which implies that its expansion in terms of Feynman diagrams is the expression for F in terms of ribbon graphs.
From this he deduced that exp F is a τ-function for the KdV hierarchy, thus proving Witten's conjecture.
The Witten conjecture is a special case of a more general relation between integrable systems of Hamiltonian PDEs and the geometry of certain families of 2D topological field theories (axiomatized in the form of the so-called cohomological field theories by Kontsevich and Manin), which was explored and studied systematically by B. Dubrovin and Y. Zhang, A. Givental, C. Teleman and others.
The Virasoro conjecture is a generalization of the Witten conjecture.

hopelessness only arises when one stops
to think about one's situation
be given a moment to think things through
and one's given a moment to despair
yes it gets weary yes it seems endless
yes it is nothing one intended it to be
but when one's entire past started a mere instant ago
the door closes behind and the only direction is forward...

History of Reno
County Kansas
Overton Hickman, Treasurer of Reno county, is a native of West Virginia, having been born in the town of Fayetteville, that state, on October 23, 1874, son of John and Mary (Huddleston) Hickman, the former of whom, born in old Virginia, March 15, 1821, died in January, 1906, and the latter, born in that section of Virginia known, since the war period, as West Virginia, April 27, 1844, died on March 15, 1901, both having spent their last days in this county.
John Hickman was the son of William Hickman, a Virginian, who was the son of an Englishman who came to America in 1755 and later fought in behalf of the colonies during the Revolutionary War, William Hickman, in his generation, also having fought against England, during the War of 1812. John Hickman was a merchant and hotel keeper at Fayetteville. In 1882 he and his wife and three children came to Kansas, settling in Miami county, where they lived for two years, at the end of which time, in 1884, they came to Reno county and bought a quarter of a section of land in Medford township, where they established a permanent home, Mr. Hickman and his wife spending the remainder of their lives there. They were Baptists in their religious persuasion and Mr. Hickman was a Democrat in his political belief and a Mason in his fraternal affiliations. He and his wife were the parents of three children, the subject of this sketch, who was the second born, having two sisters, Anna, wife of Minor A. Chappel, a retired farmer now living in Hutchinson, this county, and Sarah, who married Frank Hamilton (should be Humiston) and is also a resident of Hutchinson.
Overton Hickman was eight years of age when his parents moved to this state and was ten when they came to Reno county, consequently his youth and early manhood was spent on the farm in Medford township, where he remained until his marriage in 1901. Some time later he bought a farm in that same township, on which he made his home until 1909, in which year he moved to Hutchinson, the county seat, where he became a salesman for the International Harvester Company. In 1911 he was appointed deputy sheriff of Reno county, in which capacity he served for a year and in 1912 he engaged in the automobile business, he and his partner having the agency for the "Overland" car in this section.
Ever since the days of his early manhood, Overton Hickman had given thoughtful attention to political affairs in Reno county and for years served as precinct committeeman in behalf of the Democratic party. During his residence in Medford township he had served as township clerk and also had served the public to advantage as a member of the school board, during which latter incumbency he helped to organize and inaugurate the first consolidated graded school established in Reno county. In 1912 the Democrats of Reno county made him their nominee for the office of county treasurer and he was elected in the ensuing election in the fall of that year. So satisfactory did his services in this important office prove, that he received a second nomination in 1914 and was again elected and is now serving his second term in that office, making one of the most popular officials in the court house.
On June 16, 1901, Overton Hickman was united in marriage to Emma (Hodges) Wyatt, a widow, who died on August 29, 1909, leaving two children, Clarice, born on August 30, 1903, and Norena (should be Norma), August 18, 1905, and on February 15, 1911, Mr. Overton married, secondly, Anne (Love) Chenoweth, who was born in the state of Mississippi, daughter of William A. Love, now a well-known farmer of Westminster township, this county. Mr. And Mrs. Hickman are members of the Congregational church and take an active interest in all good works hereabout. Mr. Hickman is a member of the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen of America, in the affairs of which orders he takes a warm interest. He is the owner of a quarter of a section of good land in McPherson county, besides his interests in this county, and is considered quite well circumstanced.

Last month's purchase of I-trax Inc. by drugstore giant Walgreen Co. will trigger more than $1 million in bonuses for six top executives of the Chadds Ford company.
I-trax chairman Frank Martin will receive the largest bonus - $400,480 - once the purchase has been completed, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CEO R. Dixon Thayer will get $193,120.
Walgreen agreed to buy the operator of worksite-based health clinics on March 14 for $278 million, or $5.40 per share.
These payments are called "transaction bonuses" and get paid only if the deal gets done. They're common and are usually a bad idea. Executives should be rewarded for managing and improving a company, not selling it.
Losing hand
The bottom line for Atlantic City's casinos in 2007 was filled with red ink.
The 11 casinos there collectively reported a net loss of $59.7 million for the year compared with net income of $374.9 million in 2006, according to a quarterly report released by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.
The losses were result of non-cash write-offs at several casinos, the commission said.
The gambling industry likes to focus on the gross operating profit line on the income statement. Even that view isn't pretty. The casinos' operating profit was down 9.6 percent for the year.
Together, they produced operating profit of $1.25 billion on revenue of $4.82 billion in 2007. The year before, they generated $1.38 billion in operating profit on revenue of $4.93 billion.
"A recession is a technical term. I'm not yet ready to say whether or not the U.S. economy will face such a situation."

Moral Dystopia
by Maureen Down (New York Times)
June 16, 2012
Everyone is good, until we're tested.
We hope we would be Sir Thomas More in "A Man for All Seasons," who dismisses his daughter's pleas to compromise his ideals and save his life, saying: "When a man takes an oath, Meg, he's holding his own self in his own hands. Like water. And if he opens his fingers then, he needn't hope to find himself again."
But with formerly hallowed institutions and icons sinking into a moral dystopia all around us, has our sense of right and wrong grown more malleable? What if we're not Thomas More but Mike McQueary?
Eight tortured young men offered searing testimony in Bellefonte, Pa., about being abused as children by Jerry Sandusky in the showers at Penn State, in the basement of his home and at hotels.
But the most haunting image in the case is that of a little boy who was never found, who was never even sought by Penn State officials.
In February 2001, McQueary was home one night watching the movie "Rudy," about a runty football player who achieves his dream of playing at Notre Dame by the sheer force of his gutsy character. McQueary, a graduate assistant coach and former Penn State quarterback, was so inspired that he got up and went over to the locker room to get some tapes of prospective recruits.
There he ran smack into his own character test. The strapping 6-foot-4 redhead told the court he saw his revered boss and former coach reflected in the mirror: Sandusky, Joe Paterno's right hand, was grinding against a little boy in the shower in an "extremely sexual" position, their wet bodies making "skin-on-skin slapping sounds." He met their eyes, Sandusky's blank, the boy's startled.
"I've never been involved in anything remotely close to this," the 37-year-old McQueary said. "You're not sure what the heck to do, frankly."
He was slugging back water from a paper cup, with the bristly air of a man who knows that many people wonder why he didn't simply stop the rape and call the police instead of leaving to talk it over with his father and a family friend.
Tellingly, he compared the sickening crime to the noncomparable incident of being a college student looking for a bathroom during a party at a frat house, and inadvertently walking into a dark bedroom where a fraternity brother is having sex with a young lady.
He said he felt too "shocked, flustered, frantic" to do anything, adding defensively: "It's been well publicized that I didn't stop it. I physically did not remove the young boy from the shower or punch Jerry out."
He told Paterno the next morning and went along with the mild reining in of Sandusky, who continued his deviant ways.
Put on administrative leave, McQueary has filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the school. (He was promoted to receivers coach and recruiting coordinator three years after the incident.) "Frankly," he said, "I don't think I did anything wrong to lose that job."
It's jarring because McQueary looks like central casting for the square-jawed hero who stumbles upon a crime in progress, rescues the child thrilled to hear the footsteps of a savior, and puts an end to the serial preying on disadvantaged kids by a man disguised as the patron saint of disadvantaged kids.
Bellefonte, the town in the shadow of Beaver Stadium, also looks like a Hollywood creation: the perfect sepia slice of rural Americana reflecting old-fashioned values. There's an Elks Lodge, a Loyal Order of Moose hall, a Rexall drugstore, the Hot Dog House with hand-dipped ice cream, and a nice senior citizen shooing you into the crosswalk. This was a big "American Graffiti" weekend in town: the annual sock hop and hot rod parade.
How could so many fine citizens of this college town ignore the obvious and protect a predator instead of protecting children going through the ultimate trauma: getting raped by a local celebrity offering to be their dream father figure? A Penn State police officer warned Sandusky in 1998 to stop showering with boys; Saint Jerry ignored him.
The first witness for the prosecution, now 28, recalled that Sandusky wooed him starting when he was 12, letting him wear the jersey of the star linebacker LaVar Arrington.
In his Washington Post blog, Arrington, a retired Redskin, wrote that it was "mind-blowing" to hear about the boy's hurt. He recalled that he had asked the kid, "Why are you always walking around all mad, like a tough guy?"
He assumed that since the boy had been involved with the Second Mile charity, he must be from a troubled home.
"I will never just assume ever again," he said of dealing with an angry child. "I will always ask, and let them know that it's O.K. to tell the truth about why they are upset."
That accuser testified that at the Alamo Bowl, Dottie Sandusky, a good German, came into the hotel room while her husband was in the shower threatening to send the boy home if he would not perform oral sex. Jerry came out and she asked him, "What are you doing in there?" But she soon disappeared.
"She was kind of cold," the young man recalled. "She wasn't mean or hateful, nothing like that, just, they're Jerry's kids, like that."
Another accuser, now 18, testified that he screamed when Sandusky raped him in the basement; though Dottie was upstairs, there was no response.
NBC's Michael Isikoff reported on a secret file discovered in Penn State's internal investigation, led by Louis Freeh, the former F.B.I. chief. Graham Spanier, a former university president, and Gary Schultz, a former vice president, debated whether they had a legal obligation to report the 2001 shower incident, and in one e-mail, agreed it would be "humane" to Sandusky not to inform social service agencies.
That revoltingly echoes the testimony in the trial of Msgr. William Lynn in Philadelphia, where the late Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua ordered the shredding of a list of 35 priests believed to be child molesters. Lynn testified that he followed Bevilacqua's orders not to tell victims if others had accused the same priest of abuse, or to inform parishes of the true reason that perverted priests were removed and recirculated.
When a seminarian told Lynn in 1992 that he was raped all through high school by the monstrous Rev. Stanley Gana, Lynn conceded he let it fall "through the cracks." He also admitted he "forgot" to tell the police investigating a preying priest that the diocese knew of at least eight more cases.
Yet Lynn claimed he did his "best" for victims.
Inundated by instantaneous information and gossip, do we simply know more about the seamy side? Do greater opportunities and higher stakes cause more instances of unethical behavior? Have our materialism, narcissism and cynicism about the institutions knitting society — schools, sports, religion, politics, banking — dulled our sense of right and wrong?
"Most Americans continue to think of their lives in moral terms; they want to live good lives," said James Davison Hunter, a professor of religion, culture and social theory at the University of Virginia and the author of "The Death of Character." "But they are more uncertain about what the nature of the good is. We know more, and as a consequence, we no longer trust the authority of traditional institutions who used to be carriers of moral ideals.
"We used to experience morality as imperatives. The consequences of not doing the right thing were not only social, but deeply emotional and psychological. We couldn't bear to live with ourselves. Now we experience morality more as a choice that we can always change as circumstances call for it. We tend to personalize our ideals. And what you end up with is a nation of ethical free agents.
"We've moved from a culture of character to a culture of personality. The etymology of the word character is that it's deeply etched, not changeable in all sorts of circumstances. We don't want to think of ourselves as transgressive or bad, but we tend to personalize our understanding of the good."
Lawrence Lessig, a Harvard law professor dubbed "the Elvis of cyberlaw" by Wired magazine, was seduced by his rock star choirmaster at the American Boychoir School in Princeton in the 1970s when he was 14 and turned into his supportive "wife," as he calls it. "It made me really feel like a grown-up. Typically, sex doesn't have to be terrible."
In 2004, he represented another victim in a successful lawsuit against the school. He told me that "an astonishing 30 to 40 percent" of his peers there had been abused, "and everybody knew and nobody did anything." That echoes the horror at the Horace Mann School in the Bronx in the 1970s and 1980s, where a culture of sexual abuse by teachers developed.
And as if we needed more evidence that perversity lurks everywhere, the Jehovah's Witnesses have been ordered to pay more than $20 million to a woman who was abused for two years, starting at age 9, by a congregation member in California. She had filed a lawsuit accusing the church of instructing elders to keep sex-abuse accusations quiet.
"You don't want to be the outsider who betrays the institution; whistleblowers are always the weirdos," Lessig said. "There are so many ways to rationalize doing the easy thing. And it's really easy for us to overlook how our inaction to step up and do even the simplest thing leads to profoundly destructive consequences in our society."
I asked Cory Booker, the Newark mayor, why he ignored his security team and made a snap decision to run into a burning house to save his neighbor. He said his parents taught him to feel indebted to all the people who had sacrificed for his family. And he recoiled in law school at the idea that there was not always a legal obligation to help the vulnerable.
"We have to fight the dangerous streams in culture, the consumerism and narcissism and me-ism that erode the borders of our moral culture," he said. "We can't put shallow celebrity before core decency. We have to have a deeper faith in the human spirit. As they say, he who has the heart to help has the right to complain."

RUTLEDGE - In a sea of smiling faces, it was difficult to tell who was having the most fun Wednesday at Camp Sunshine.
There, members of the Georgia Bulldogs took on a team of some of Georgia's toughest young fighters in an impromptu game of touch football, an experience that left tight end Jay Rome with a true understanding of what courage really is.
Article Continues Below
"It was just great to see all the kids happy, out there playing with us and out there playing just as hard as they could," Rome said. "You know what these kids are going through, but they're out there just like regular kids."
At Camp Sunshine, smiles are given out for free.
What began as a summer camp program for children diagnosed with cancer, is now a thriving, loving and inspirational community that now hosts a pair of week-long camps for children to 12 years of age, and another for teenagers 13-18, held this time each summer at Camp Twin Lake, a 500-acre facility here in Rutledge that specializes in offering therapeutic and recreational camps for children with serious illness, along with other physical and emotional challenges.
Wednesday's visit to the camp - the second in as many weeks by the Bulldogs - left quite the impression.
"The first time you walk through and you see the facilities and hear about the people, it doesn't really hit you until you see the face of a kid, or you see a kid who has got a discolored face or something like that, and they're still smiling, still enjoying life," sophomore wide receiver Chris Conley said. "It really touches you and makes you say 'Wow, this is such a special place.'"
For senior defensive end Cornelius Washington, this was his second trip to Camp Sunshine in as many years.
"The last time I was here, I really enjoyed it and it is a good experience. Just try to shine a light on kids who need it, and just to be plain and simple, it's the right thing to do," he said. "It really brings you back down to earth, because it makes you realize that things could be so much worse for you.
"People don't think about that, but the next guy may be going through something so much worse than you, so you should just be thankful for the things that you have. When I come out here and these kids are going through so much, but they're still thankful for the things they do have, and getting to run around out here, it's just a blessing all around."
Mo Thrash, a member of Camp Sunshine's Board of Directors and a UGA grad, couldn't agree with that statement more.
Since his son's death in 1977 from leukemia at age three, Thrash has dedicated his life to improving the lives of children with cancer. He has raised funds for cancer research and was a key figure in initiating state legislation that now assures that kids with cancer have access to clinical trials and the latest treatments. The bill, named "Callaway's Law," after Thrash's son, was signed by former Governor Zell Miller in 1998.
"Just look across here, look at the smiles. I am not kidding you when I tell you this; some children in the hospital, when we go to talk to them, we say 'hey, come to summer camp.' They're like, I don't know, but when you tell them the Georgia Bulldogs are coming, they can't wait to get here and that's the truth," Thrash said. "It's the same way with the teenagers; the teenagers just went crazy when the Dawgs were here. Ever since Coach (Mark) Richt has been here, the Dawgs have come every year, and they just love it. It means so much to our children."
Many Bulldogs, like Washington, have been here before.
"It's a first-come, first-served signup to come over here, so guys are fighting to get on the list and it's so great to see these guys on and on, it means as much, I think, to them as it does the children," Thrash added. "The first question they ask when they sign up for Summer Camp is "are the Dawgs coming back again?'"
Conley said trips such as this have a way of putting life into its true perspective.
"It's important to me to be able to have the opportunity to affect kids in a positive way, something that may seem too small to us but is so big for them," he said. "I feel they have they have the same affect on us, seeing them, seeing what they go through and what they're able to do regardless of what they have going on. It's really challenging to me, because it makes me step back, take a deep breath and ask the Lord for some forgiveness for complaining and different things that I've done in my life."
It was a memorable trip for all.
During their two-hour stay, the Bulldogs toured the entire facility, met with most of the campers, saw what they did, checked out the on-campus hospital and even took in a Karate demonstration.
"People wake up every day and complain about having to go to work or go to class, but we have the opportunity to do something that others do not," Rome said. "You look at these 9, 10, 12-year old kids who have come down with these horrible conditions and it really makes you look at yourself and feel ashamed about the stuff you complain about when you compare it to the kind of things they are going through."
Conley could not agree more.
"It helps us in so many ways because it makes our issues and our problems seem so small. It really brings out the fact that we're doing something that we love and that the kids would love to be in our places," he said. "It also tells us we'd better perform and we'd better do our best for these people because these kids look up to us and they expect us to do some great things this season."

Dim the lights, grab a blanket and hope for clear skies — an annual magic show, the Perseid meteor shower, can be seen Sunday and Monday nights.
You don't need tickets to view nature's free show. And no binoculars are needed, because the flashes may be anywhere in the sky, though they will seem to come from the northeast.
"The crucial issue is that meteors are faint, so you need a location where the sky is dark," according to Andrew Fraknoi, chairman of the astronomy department at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. "The darker your site, the more you will see."
Your best views come after midnight — so it is an event most appreciated by night owls. That's because the Earth turns after midnight to face the shower, so the meteors come more directly at us. And the crescent moon has set, immersing us in darkness.
At its peak, it is possible to see up to sixty shooting stars per hour. The shower actually started in July and will extend for most of August, but with less drama.
The stars are called the sons of Perseus, because they seem to shoot from that constellation, named after the Greek demigod famed for saving Andromeda from a sea monster. They were first recorded 2,000 years ago.
But they're not really stars — just meteoric dust, no bigger than the size of a dime. They burn as they careen into the Earth's atmosphere at 7 to 44 miles per second.
"They are cosmic 'garbage' left over from a regularly returning comet, called Swift-Tuttle," after its discoverers, Fraknoi said. Leftovers from the early days of our solar system, the flashes are the last gasp of cosmic material that formed about 5 billion years ago.
To enjoy the event, get away from city lights and coastal fog. State or city parks or other safe, dark sites are your best bet. Dress warmly for nighttime temperatures.
Once you have settled at your observing spot, lie back so the horizon appears at the edge of your peripheral vision, with the stars and sky filling your field of view. Meteors will grab your attention as they streak by.
Be patient — because they are more subtle than fireworks, it may take up to 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark. Several minutes might pass without a single flash.
If it's cloudy, don't despair: Another meteor shower, the Leonids, will spark the nigh sky on Nov. 16.

Restarted itself
Guys, I have some problem now, and I don't know what caused it...
i hope someone will check it and report back with a solution... Uploaded a dmp file.
|My System Specs
|04 Jan 2012
Win 8 Release candidate 8400
Your .dmp file shows a stop error of 0x124 which is a general hardware error .
A "stop 0x124" is fundamentally different to many other types of bluescreens because it stems from a hardware complaint.
Stop 0x124 minidumps contain very little practical information, and it is therefore necessary to approach the problem as a case of hardware in an unknown state of distress
If you are overclocking STOP. Return to the default settings at least for now.
If you are running a RAID update its driver.

In 2007 members of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation visited the Schmieding Center for Senior Health and Education in Northwest Arkansas and realized the potential impact the program could have if it were available throughout the state.
The existing infrastructure of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging, Arkansas Aging Initiative program with its eight, strategically located, Centers on Aging, was determined to be the perfect framework to support replication of the Schmieding program.
In 2008, The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation provided UAMS with a one-year planning grant to develop a proposal for replicating the Schmieding program. During this time a leadership team was formed with members of the Schmieding Center and UAMS and a detailed community analysis of proposed sites for phase I of the project was conducted. The leadership committee selected the communities of Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, Texarkana, and West Memphis as sites for phase I of the project.
In June of 2009, the phase I proposal was funded and the University received $3,015,565 from the Reynolds Foundation to replicate the Schmieding program. Jonesboro Arkansas was the first of four sites to open and started training caregivers in April of 2010. Pine Bluff followed in October of 2010, and then Texarkana opened in January of 2011. West Memphis opened in May of 2011.
In the summer of 2011 grant personnel were invited to submit a proposal for a phase II grant which included nearly 8 million dollars to continue operations at the existing 4 sites and open four new sites in Ft. Smith, Little Rock, Hot Springs and El Dorado. Work on Phase II began in July of 2012 and by September of 2013, all eight sites were operational.
To date (Sept 30, 2016) the Schmieding Home Caregiver Training Replication Project has trained nearly 3,311 individuals throughout the state on how to care for older adults living at home. 1,558 of those students took one or more certified classes, 1,492 attended a family workshop and 261 completed one or more continuing education programs.
Work continues to increase student enrollment and additional staff was hired at 4 locations to meet the community demands.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — California Exotic Novelties is launching its Nick Hawk Gigolo Collection at a special VIP Nick Hawk Gigolo Launch Party at the Hustler Hollywood store on April 25 from 8-10 p.m. PDT.
To usher in the Vegas-themed soiree, the Sunset Boulevard-facing window of the store will feature a 5.5' by 9.3' wide Nick Hawk banner. Casino tables, courtesy of Hustler Casino, will also be featured at the event, along with a champagne toast and gift bags for the first 100 attendees.
"Hustler Hollywood is the perfect partner to team up with for the launch of the Nick Hawk Gigolo Collection," Susan Colvin, CalExotics President and CEO said. "The party is going to be a great time, and I hope to see a lot of friends there as we officially introduce the line to the public."
Hawk is the star of the hit cable TV Showtime series, "Gigolos," and partnered with CalExotis to create a line with 22 items. Many products were developed according to Hawk's specifications based on his experience as a professional gigolo and sex expert.
The items will be displayed and sold at all 11 Hustler Hollywood locations. "We're looking forward to hosting the VIP Nick Hawk Gigolo Launch Party. The venue will be rocking and the champagne will be flowing, as we celebrate with our friends at California Exotic Novelties," Dustin Olive, director of retail operations for Hustler Entertainment, Inc. said.
To promote the new line, CalExotics is also launching the "Win a Dream Date with Nick Hawk" contest. People can enter to win a trip to Las Vegas on Valentine's Day weekend, 2014, by going to DateNickHawk.com. Hawk said, "It's gonna be epic on the 25th at Hustler Hollywood. I can't think of a better place to launch the new line and introduce the public to the 'Win a Dream Date with Nick Hawk' contest. I just hope that freaking blow-up doll, 'Little Nicky,' doesn't show up. If he's there, there's gonna be hell to pay."
"Little Nicky" is a fully tattooed blow-up doll and is Nick's alter ego. Sources say the doll will be a part of Gigolos season four, and it will be at the party, taunting Hawk.
Red carpet begins at 8 p.m. To be placed on the exclusive guest list, and for more details, visit the event's Facebook page.

Review: could not believe how easy it was!!!!
I needed a replacement door for my tumble dryer. I posted a question on the site giving the make, model and serial number of the dryer to check if the particular door I found on the site was compatible with my dryer. I received an email reply by the next day confirming it was I ordered it immediately and received it within a few days. I was very impressed at how easy it was and how quickly they responded to my query , I had put up with a broken door for quite a while because I thought it was going to be to much hassle to find the correct door........how wrong was I?

When I was a lad, getting a driver's licence was - for the average red-blooded male of voting age - on par with losing your virginity.
It was the ultimate symbol of freedom, of breaking the shackles and becoming a man.
It was also quite an achievement. For a start, I did my test in a manual, which meant perfecting the art of changing gears, reverse parking and the dreaded hill-start.
How times have changed. In Victoria now, well-heeled learner drivers can take their test in a car that will automatically reverse-park. They just have to drive past a spot and the car will tell them if it's big enough to park in, then do all the steering for them.
All that's left is to hit the brake when the vehicle is in position. And just in case they're no good at judging distances, there are rear-view cameras and parking sensors to do the job. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
The advances in technology don't end there, with blind-spot sensors, lane-departure warning systems and intelligent cruise control devices that will maintain a safe distance between vehicles and brake if necessary.
The next step is the completely automated car. Some companies envisage a future in which commuting by car will be like taking the train, with your vehicle driving in formation like a virtual carriage. Yawn.
Volkswagen has a system that can take over driving tasks at speeds of up to 130km/h. No, thanks - I've had too many laptops and phones freeze on me to leave my life in the hands of technology in that situation.
Self-driving cars might be very 21st century but they leave me cold.
Driving used to be a pastime but now everybody is so paranoid about the risks that they've forgotten the satisfaction and fun it can bring.
She says: Driving is indeed a joy – and a privilege if you take your driving test seriously.
There is nothing like driving an old car with the windows down on a sunny day beside a stretch of coastline.With the right 90-minute cassette playing, it's like being in the perfect film. Freedom, autonomy and the sense of anticipation any holiday car trip brings.
But imagine you're the driver and everyone else in the car is eating a Golden Gaytime. They're hoeing into some biscuit-crumb-coated ice-cream goodness and you're gripping the wheel, tense with hunger and envy.
You're keeping everyone safe and en route. But where's your holiday vibe? It's in the passenger seat licking melted ice-cream off its fingers, that's where it is.
If only the car could be switched to auto-pilot. Then the summer fun feeling would be enjoyed by the driver as well. The car could putter along its designated course while you slipped off your shoes, crossed your legs and licked frozen delights like everyone else.
But there's another reason to back self-driving cars. You and I are absolutely terrific drivers, we know that. But what about all those other motorists out there?
The ding-bat, Looney Tunes drivers who don't indicate or show courtesy in lane-merging. What about the knobs who speed, drive through red lights and tailgate anyone who isn't
driving at the speed of light. And . . . oh, it's exhausting.
Rather than book them and issue a fine (they won't learn anything), let's make bad drivers drive self-driving cars. The cars will be pre-programmed for speed limits, courteous driving and
when to stop at traffic lights.
The bad drivers will be allowed to enter their destination but everything else will be handled by a satellite system. If they're particularly obnoxious, the radio will play muzak, the heater won't work and the seatbelt will be just a bit too snug across the nether regions.

Theorizing and strategizing with models: Generative models of business models
The ambiguity surrounding model-based science is exemplified by the proliferation of meanings of the term "business model". We argue that a clearer specification of the analytical, theoretical and ontological validity of models is an opportunity to learn about and understand complex organizational phenomena more systematically. We apply this to research on social entrepreneurship and pro-poor business models that has been criticized as being overly theoretical and conceptually ambiguous. Business models are presented as narratives that integrate various actors, actions, stories, and outcomes, without a clear perspective of why these elements were selected and what we can learn from them. This paper outlines an explicit modeling process as an investigative tool that enables transparent and systematic theorizing of business models. Using an illustrative case study, we develop a generative model that accounts for the social mechanisms that explain how business models achieve multiple strategic objectives and multiple dimensions of economic and social value creation.

Letters to the Editor, May 9May 8, 2015
Photo: Leah Millis, The Chronicle
There are serious problems, crises, and travesties that face us here in the Bay Area and elsewhere every day that need our attention and best thinking. However, I am heartsick that the city and county of San Francisco cannot give a young humpback whale the dignity and kindness of towing her out to sea for her final burial. It is hurtful to have her lay there to be poked and gawked at, decomposing without relief. Please San Francisco, get this taken care of, perhaps as a matter of public health but certainly kindness.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
For some of you, it will be relatively painless, and may even been filled with some really positive experiences. But for others, you'll be left with the nagging reminder that another Valentine's Day has come – and you're still single.
"How do I get over my discontent with singleness?"
This is a question I often receive as I travel for speaking engagements or in my inbox as I check my email. The difficulties of dealing with singleness impact different people in different ways, but the idea of being "discontent" with your lack of relationship status is a common emotion at some point along the road .
Before I answer, let me first address those of you who see singleness as a gift to be enjoyed, and a season to be savored, and a time to be cherished…good for you. I say that with just a tiny hint of sarcasm, because contentment during singleness was always a personal struggle of mine. But for the most part, I really am thrilled for your contentment.
I look at men and women like you and I am truly inspired that, by God's grace, you have received eyes that are able to see past you relationship status and enjoy the life that you've been given. Like a very deliberately placed sign in my office reminds me, "Life is not having what you want, it's wanting what you have". I seem to need that reminder often. Thank God for your contentment during this season, and continue to live your life here and now.
Now, for the latter group. This is the group I would have been a part of during my time as a single woman. If the myth were true that "God only blesses you with a spouse when you learn to be content in your singleness", than Lord knows I wouldn't have ever gotten married, because frankly, I was not okay with a lifetime of singleness. I wanted so badly to be married!
As I look back in hindsight, there was nothing wrong with that longing for marriage. In fact, that longing was so very good. It was part of God's design and a sign that I longed for a deep and intimate connection with another human being.
But for so long, because of the mixed messages I received from people around me, I was secretly ashamed of that longing. I talked myself into believing that it was wrong; that I was weak, and that it was a sign that I just wasn't as close to God as I should be. Maybe I didn't love Him enough. Maybe I didn't trust Him enough. Maybe I needed to be a "better Christian".
Looking back, those were all lies from the pit of hell. Lies that were meant to guilt me, to shame me, and to keep me paralyzed. Lies that were bent on destroying me and keeping me still. Lies that were intended to prevent me from living my life. And at times, they did just that.
What I wish someone would have told me then, is that you don't have to "like" singleness.
And you know what else? It's okay to have a constant longing for marriage because you were made in the image of a God who understands because He is longing for connection with YOU. It is a struggle that we are allowed to have, and one that can draw us even closer to a God who longs to connect with us through it.
I don't believe that the condition of our heart should EVER be measured by our emotional struggles, but rather, by what we do through those times of struggle. Feelings of discontent, loneliness, and depression through singleness don't mean that we have been defeated. They simply mean that we are human.
But ceasing to live our lives because of those feelings…that is a sign that we have allowed the enemy to paralyze us and keep us from moving forward. It's okay to struggle through singleness, but it's not okay to stop living life because of it. It's okay to be discontent through singleness, but it's not okay to let that discontentment rob us of our very lives.
There is a huge difference between a struggle and a stronghold. A stronghold is when we've allowed our relationship status to define us, instead of the very God who made us to be defined by Him. There's a huge difference there, and the two should never be lumped in the same category.
So for those of you who have been struggling with being single, look around and ask yourself- are you still living? Are you still dreaming? Are you still hoping? Are you still trusting and believing? Are you still moving forward in the life that God has called you to live (whether or not you always love that life), or have you been paralyzed by your fear?
Is singleness a part of your struggle, or has it become a stronghold? The answer to that question will either free you from guilt and shame, or challenge you to begin the pursuit of healing: by redefining your identity and rethinking your purpose.
No matter where you are in your struggle, you have the opportunity to live life and to live it well. May God give you the strength to do so, even through the struggle.
Is your love-life feeling stagnant? Are you ready for something new in your relationship status? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you don't want to miss this life-changing program: Click below to learn more!

Or perhaps I should call it my guilty pleasure. Whatever. I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive me but here it is…I love a cliche. Yep, that's right. I'm a writer and even though I know cliches are something I should avoid like the plague, I still love them.
So, even though cliches are akin to the kiss of death where writing is concerned, I use them every so often in my manuscripts and if I could get away with it, I'd probably use them on every single page. I try to restrain myself except…
in my novella, Unwilling Angel, which is about a best-selling author, Ted "Mac" McNabb, who dies and goes to Heaven. After he goes through Judgement, he's told he'll have to complete five missions to atone for his earthly sins before he will be admitted to his own Personal Heaven. Each of these missions will be guided by one of the Archangels and each of them will concern a person who will play a part in stopping a worldwide disaster in the distant future.
So, Mac is an Apprentice Angel and he's not too happy about it. To make matters worse, he develops a tendency to spout cliches at the drop of a hat. It goes without saying that his new inclination to speak in what he considers wornout, overused phrases makes him madder than a wet hen and meaner than a striped snake at times.
Needless to say, given my love of cliches, I had more fun than a barrelful of monkeys writing this book. When I wrote the second book in the series, Unruly Angel (it's finished but I haven't decided what to do with it yet), I took it in a slightly different direction by making it more of a romance with the tried and truey happily-ever-after ending, which made me as happy as a duck in water. I haven't started the third one yet, but I know what it's going to be about, and I have no doubt when I get started on it, I'll be happier than a pig in mud, or to use a southern cliche since I live in the south, happy as a dead pig in the sunshine.
So, there you have it, my deep, dark secret shame, a love of cliches and a powerful hankering to use them freely in the books I write. Oh well, I guess that's wishful thinking but who knows, if I keep my fingers crossed, one day the winds might change directions and cliches might become the new black for authors. Meanwhile, I'll keep my head in the clouds and dream of a time when I'm free as a bird to use as many of my beloved cliches as I want.
And now for a little blatant self promotion: Unwilling Angel is available in ebook on Fictionwise and for the Amazon Kindle. It's a heartwarming story with a Christmas theme and at under three dollars would make a great Christmas gift. Also, next month, I'll be conducting a character interview with Mac, my reluctant Apprentice Angel, and I might even pull in the victim, er, subject of his first mission, Ellen Bradshaw, to answer a question or two. Heck, I might even pull in Gabriel, or Grumpy Gabe as Mac calls him, the Archangel who sends him to help Ellen.
Okay, that's it for this week's version of Friday Favorites. I'm outa here but not before I say it again…I love a cliche and so cliches and Cliche Day (November 3rd) get a Dames of Dialogue kiss of approval!

In the Crosshairs: Targeting Opioid Addiction
3PM – 4PM | Zinner Breakout Room
About the Session
The growing epidemic of opioid addiction is of great concern for the general population and healthcare professionals alike who prescribe these drugs to help patients manage pain. Even the most well-intentioned and/or well-informed patients could be affected by this public health crisis engulfing the nation. At BWH, our aim and our duty as prescribers is to help patients suffering from pain to improve their quality of life. We also have a responsibility to help remedy the opiate problem. In this session, BWH clinicians from Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology, Anesthesiology and Pharmacoepidemiology will discuss chronic pain in musculoskeletal conditions, appropriate pain management strategies for different situations, comparative effectiveness of these options and the safe and effective utilization of opioids where applicable.

Psychologist, Brigham and Women's Hospital
Associate Professor of Anaesthesia, Harvard Medical School
Dr. Edwards' research focuses on bio-psycho-social aspects of the pain experience, including studies of how negative emotions may magnify the physiological impact of pain. In addition to studying the role of negative emotions in shaping the pain experience, Dr. Edwards' work focuses on evaluating individual differences in sensitivity to pain using psychophysical techniques to assess responses to a variety of noxious stimuli. He has established a psychophysical pain testing laboratory at Brigham & Women's Hospital (located adjacent to the Pain Management Center), in which quantitative sensory testing (QST) is used to study sensory responses in a controlled environment. In past work, Dr. Edwards has studied ethnic and sex differences in responses to pain, and some of the psychosocial variables which might explain such differences. More recently, his research has focused on factors such as emotional distress, pain-related catastrophizing, and disrupted sleep as important contributors to pain responses both inside and outside of the laboratory. Dr. Edwards is the recipient of several NIH and foundation awards, including: a K23 award from NIAMS, which includes the use of QST in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, an R21 from NCI, which includes the use of QST assessments in patients undergoing surgical procedures, and young investigator awards from the American College of Rheumatology and the Arthritis Foundation, which involve functional neuroimaging studies to identify the central nervous system substrates of pain-related catastrophizing. Dr. Edwards works closely with Drs. Wasan and Jamison, and ongoing projects in his laboratory use tools such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to evaluate how the brain processes pain-related information. Additional projects include a laboratory-based study of how pain-related anxiety can alter the functioning of the immune system and stimulate an inflammatory response, as well as a study of the predictors of individual differences in post-surgical pain.
Robert N. Jamison, PhD

National PTSD Awareness Day (June 27, 2017) In order to bring greater awareness to the issue of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the United States Senate designated June 27th as National PTSD Awareness Day. In addition, June has been designated as PTSD Awareness Month by the National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD).
PTSD can happen to anyone. It is not a sign of weakness. A number of factors can increase the chance that someone will have PTSD, many of which are not under that person's control. For example, having a very intense or long-lasting traumatic event or getting injured during the event can make it more likely that a person will develop PTSD. PTSD is also more common after certain types of trauma, like combat and sexual assault. Personal factors, like previous traumatic exposure, age, and gender, can affect whether or not a person will develop PTSD. What happens after the traumatic event is also important. Stress can make PTSD more likely, while social support can make it less likely.
