The Andover Townsman
---- — The Friends of Memorial Hall Library's book sales have become not-to-be-missed events for anyone who still values the old-fashioned art of page-turning.
And readers weren't disappointed this past weekend as they hunted through boxes upon boxes of books in search of new additions for their bookshelves.
The crowds were brisk at the three-day sale, which kicked off with an additional members-only preview for library friends.
The next sale will be a special one-day holiday event on Dec. 7. The winter sale is set for Jan. 24 through 26, so mark your calendars.
The Friends of MHL accept donations of gently used books, movies and music year-round. To make a donation, call 978-623-8401, ext. 49, or visit www.mhl.org/friends.

Legal Language Institute
Essential Skills in a Globalized World
Brooklyn Law School's new Legal Language Institute was established in recognition that the globalized legal community conducts business in many languages and requires an understanding of different legal cultures. The Institute's educational programs will present opportunities for lawyers and students from abroad to sharpen their mastery of the language of American legal discourse. It will also give students the opportunity to study the legal culture and language of other countries.
The Institute will launch its educational activities with an intensive Legal English program, to be offered each July (see below). In the near future, the Institute will expand its activities to include courses for U.S. and foreign lawyers in the legal terminology and concepts of other legal languages, including German, Spanish, French, Russian, and Chinese. These courses will be open to BLS students and to members of the legal and business communities who are interested in honing their skills in the language and law of other legal cultures.
The Institute – part of the renowned Center for Law, Language and Cognition – will also hold conferences in partnership with language and law centers from abroad, establishing it as a world leader in addressing multilingual legal issues.
July Intensive Legal English Program
Responding to the educational needs and demands of the many applicants to LL.M. Programs for Foreign-Trained Lawyers who are interested in studying law in the United States, Brooklyn Law School introduces two summer courses in legal English. Even those students with very high TOEFL scores would benefit from a dedicated immersion in legal English prior to the start of their U.S. law degree program. This intensive training in language – either in the one-week course or the three-week course – will give students an advantage in their U.S. legal studies.
Although we anticipate that most students will be foreign-trained lawyers enrolled in U.S. LL.M. programs that will begin in August, both courses are open to students and practitioners with adequate proficiency in English who want to improve their skills in legal English.
Program Dates
Three-Week Session:
Course info coming soon...
One-Week Session:
Course info coming soon...
Admission to the one-week or three-week intensive legal language course is granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Applicant Requirements:
Stay tuned for more application information when new courses become available.
All applicants interested in the one-week or three-week course should have sufficient funds to pay the program tuition and all living expenses. Tuition is $3,050 for the three-week course, and $1,250 for the one-week course.
In determining your living expenses for either the one-week or three-week course, you should consider all costs that you will incur related to housing, food, and transportation.
When you complete the online application you must also submit a deposit of $250. Of this amount, $50 is a non-refundable application fee. The remaining $200 will be credited towards your tuition total. If the program is full or you are not able to get a visa (if one is required), the $200 will be refunded.
The remaining tuition will be due June 20, 2015.
Participants will set individual goals at the beginning of the course and will be provided with an assessment of their progress at the conclusion. The primary subject areas are:
For participants with limited time, a one-week intensive version of the course will be offered. The content will focus on the same areas as noted above.
Professor Kenneth Raphael, who holds B.A., M.A., and J.D. degrees, will be the lead instructor. A BLS alumnus, Professor Raphael served as in-house counsel with several U.S.-based Fortune 500 companies before relocating in 2002 to Geneva, Switzerland, where he served as a professor with the International University in Geneva and the Moscow State University Faculty of Law. In Geneva he taught academic writing and Legal and Business English until 2013. Since moving back to New York he has been teaching at Columbia University's American Language Program. He also teaches ESL courses at the Pace University English Language Institute and is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Legal Writing with Brooklyn Law School. Professor Raphael has spoken about Legal English and legal matters at numerous seminars.

The gourmet grocery store Fox & Obel has filed for bankruptcy.
Court documents show the store's owners could be as much as $10 million in debt and they owe $382,000 to the IRS.
Fox & Obel has been around in Streeterville since 2001, but it's had a tough time recently. The store has failed six health inspections in the past three years--and the store was shut down for three days after a failed inspection in July.

We get a bit of a kickabout in the heart of the Manchester United defence before David de Gea punts forward. Nani wins the header before Pablo Zabaleta wipes out Wayne Rooney on the Manchester City right. The visitors contrive to completely waste their attack via a massively overhit through ball which goes out for a free kick.
At the other end of the pitch, Sergio Aguero, whom we haven't seem too much of, tried to start a fast break down the left only to dribble the ball straight out of play. Suffice to say that this match has been missing the quality you'd expect from teams of this calibre. If City can settle down and just put together a few passes, they'll be in much better shape.
Oooh, and speaking of, Carlos Tevez latches onto a great reverse pass from Gareth Barry to get in behind the United defence. The striker fizzes in a low cross that eludes de Gea but is booted clear by Phil Jones before Aguero can pounce. That's much better from City.

Vanilla bean cake
Autumn is definitely upon us. The days are getting shorter and the air is getting crisper. It's sunny. And it rains. Then 5 minutes later, it's sunny again.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore autumn, it's probably my favorite time of the year (ok, I think I say that about all seasons).
I feel more inspired and full of energy than ever, and I can finally wear my favorite clothes again. Yes, I wear clothes during summer too, but way to little for my taste. I always feel like I lose my sense of style (the little that I have..) when it's too hot outside.
In fact, I feel so inspired and have so many ideas that in the end, nothing gets done. Almost. Or maybe it's in my head because people around me tell me "But, you get SO much done" and I just shrug my shoulders.. I run around, doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
I'm wondering, are there any freelancers reading this? How are you coping with time management? I'm completely clueless so hit me up with your best tips please!
I actually surprised myself when I took these photos because they are so very summery, and my mood is set to autumn. I guess it's still summer though, after all, it's only August.
Vanilla bean cake
Makes one 6 inch cake / Serves 6-8
Recipes from my book Lomelinos tårtor
50 g (1/2 stick) butter
3 large eggs
1 cup (225 g) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla powder (or seeds from 1 vanilla bean)
1/3 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp milk
1 1/4 cups (180 g) all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
Vanilla buttercream frosting
300 g butter, softened
1 1/2 - 2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp pure vanilla powder (or seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean) or 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
pink food coloring, if desired
1. Heat oven to 175°C (350F).
2. Butter and flour two 6 inch (15 cm) cake pans.
3. Melt the butter and let it cool.
4. Whip eggs, sugar and vanilla until very light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Heat the milk until lukewarm and add to the egg mixture. Whisk in the melted butter.
5. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add dry mixture to the batter and stir until smooth.
6. Divide the batter between the two prepared pans.
7. Bake for 28-30 minutes, then let the cakes cool for 10 minutes in their pans before inverting them onto a cooling rack. Let cakes cool completely.
1. Beat butter until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar and beat until very fluffy and pale, about 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl every now and then.
3. Add vanilla and cream and whip for 30-60 seconds or until cream is fully incorporated.
4. If the frosting is full of air bubbles (because this frosting is fluffy!), stir with a spatula until smooth.
1. Divide both cakes in half so you have four layers.
2. Put the first layer on a cake stand or serving platter. Spread about 1/4 cup of frosting on the first layer.
3. Repeat step 2 until you've used up all layers.
4. Spread a very thin layer of frosting all over the cake. Put cake in the fridge for 15 minutes.
5. Divide remaining frosting between two bowls and color into two different shades of pink if desired.
6. Spread a thick layer (alternating between the two colors of frosting) all over the cake, then use a large offset spatula two make patterns.
7. Store cake in the fridge (because of the cream) and bring to room temperature before eating.
8. Decorate with edible clover flowers.

Black Forest gâteau
I'm a huge fan of boozy desserts and this cake is no exception. I must say it's one of my all time favorites.
When I made some research for my first book, I realized that the Swedish Schwarzwald cake I had been eating all my life was something completely different than the German Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (also known as the Black Forest cake/gâteau). The Swedish Schwarzwald cake consists of hazelnut meringue layers, whipped cream and chocolate and is of course also one of my favorites. Definitely something for a future blogpost.
Anyway, this is my version of the Black forest cake. Wait, let's call it gâteau instead. Black forest gâteau. Sounds so much fancier. It consists of three fluffy layers of chocolate cake drenched in kirsch syrup, mascarpone frosting, cherries in kirsch, shaved chocolate, chocolate ganache and fresh cherries. I think that's all. Phew.

Strawberry peach popsicles with coconut milk
These popsicles have been lingering in my freezer for weeks now.
I've been waiting for the perfect timing to take pictures and the perfect idea on how to style them, but apparently that time and that idea never came (and I was sick of waiting and wanted to eat them too of course).
Oh well. That happens sometimes, and when that happens I think it's best to keep things simple. Crooked popsicle sticks and all.
The best thing about photographing popsicles is that you get to eat all of them. So now I've eaten three to make up for all the waiting. Yes, that's right. I'll probably eat the fourth one very soon.

Blackberry galette
I decided to go to my friend Lina's parents place yesterday to pick some blackberries and hang out with her and her family. I've known them for 13 years now. Still going strong. It feels like there is always a celebration going on when I'm there (not because of me, of course..). I like that.
I brought pie dough so we could make a galette, because I knew there would be berries to pick. Lots and lots of ripe blackberries. It's always a challenge to bake at someone else's place because you never know what ingredients they have on hand. I always have sugar, flour, butter, eggs, milk.. yeah, you get the idea. But not all people do. You don't "know" the oven like your own and you have no idea what kitchen tools they have. And I didn't bring any props, because I really didn't plan to make a blogpost. This galette is pretty great on its own and there is really no need for fancy props here.
This galette has just the right amount of sweetness, so you can easily sneak in a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you want to. Or two, or even three..

Strawberry cream roll and a blog anniversary
So, Call me cupcake turned 5 about one week ago and I didn't celebrate.
5 years.
FIVE years of blogging!
Who would have thought? I have no trouble starting new projects but I definitely have a hard time finishing them. I'm just really, really happy that I didn't quit.
I often think about what my life would look like today had I never started this blog. But I will never know. I think about these things way too much.
I got these very dark, imperfect (but still beautiful) red strawberries the other day. They are probably the best strawberries I've had all summer. And I've had a LOT! I wanted to do these gorgeous strawberries justice so last night, I decided to celebrate Call me cupcake a little bit by making one of the easiest cakes I could think of, the "rulltårta". Or the swiss roll, cream roll or whatever you prefer to call them. Imagine a thin layer of cake, paired with sweetened whipped cream, a hint of vanilla and lemon and the most perfect strawberries and you have this cake.

Gluten free red currant crumble & red currant poppy seed muffins
I never know what to do with my red currants and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. My mom would say "make cordial" or "make jam or jelly!" as if there were no other options. My mom's red currant jelly is on the other hand one of the things I remember most about my childhood. How it was my favorite and how I could eat it straight from the jar. A few weeks ago I visited her and brought pie and she gave me a glass of her red currant cordial (which you can see here). The color was mesmerizing.

Easy stone fruit tarts
I'm trying to take some time off "work" at the moment. The reason I'm using quotation marks is because it doesn't really feel like work for me. However, I do need to find a slower pace for a little while. Summer is definitely the time to try and slow things down a bit, even though it stresses me out sometimes. I feel like I should be doing something all the time. Preferably something fun. I guess there's no harm in that, but you can't have fun every minute of every day. Therefore I find it a little calming when it rains every now and then. Gives me some time to relax.

Peach bundt cake with lemon glaze and lavender
I think the weather changed about 10 times during the short time in which I shot these photos. Rain, thunder, sun - repeat. It's been like that lately. You don't know if there's going to be a thunderstorm or no clouds in sight. I decided to stay inside today and bake this cake. My mind was set on a thunderstorm and peach popsicles but somewhere along the way I changed my mind and decided to bake a bundt cake instead.
Peaches always make me think of Seinfeld. You know the episode where Kramer and Newman buy Mackinaw peaches (which apparently don't really exist) from Oregon, and they are only ripe for two weeks every year. Kramer looses his sense of taste so he can't taste the peaches. How frustrating.
Luckily, I can taste these peaches. They "make the taste buds come alive" as Kramer says. True.
I hate making a mess so I either eat them over the sink or cut them into little pieces and eat them with a fork.
I decided to pair this bundt with vanilla, lemon glaze and lavender.

The best berry pie
There is nothing more satisfying than when you succeed with pie. Pie makes me happy. This pie is the quintessence of summer with lots and lots of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Perfect to serve with a scoop, or two, of vanilla ice cream.
I don't know if it's just me, but I kind of feel like a criminal when I'm shooting outside. I almost try and hide as much as possible because I feel like people are staring at me. When I shot these images a father and his two sons were walking by. I overheard his kids asking him "WHAT is she doing??". They're were on their way towards me to see what I was up to when he stopped them.
I smiled. Children's honesty and curiosity is really refreshing. Instead of just wondering what I was up too, they were on their way to see what I was doing, without prejudice.
I'm a little sad I didn't bring company and a blanket for my photo shoot as this beautiful spot would have been so perfect for a picnic. A pie picnic.

Herbal and floral ice cubes
Some time during spring and I tend to stock up on lots and lots of fresh herbs just because they smell lovely and make my kitchen look so much better (and they make food taste better too, of course). I usually go for the biggest plants I can find which means I rarely use up all of the herbs. A great way to preserve the fresh herbs is to freeze them. Now, these herbal and floral ice cubes are more for decoration, to make your summer drink taste and look a little bit better (I mean imagine using ice cubes with mint in a mojito, or just plain water). If you want to preserve herbs for cooking, you can chop them finely, put them in an ice cube tray and fill with a little bit of water or even olive oil then you just throw them in the food you're making. Simple as that! If you're using flowers for your ice cubes - absolutely make sure they are edible and that they haven't been treated with any chemicals first. The flowers I've here used are bellflowers (campanula). There are many kinds of bellflowers and I cannot guarantee that all kinds are edible (I find lots of info on edible campanulas in Swedish, but very little on the subject in English). If you're feeling insecure you can always use rose petals, lavender, lilacs or elderflowers instead. As with all flowers, I suggest eating only small amounts to be on the safe side.

Gus: Keep the peace
8:00am Saturday 1st December 2012 in Sport By Brian Owen
Gus Poyet has renewed his call for today's derby to pass off peacefully.
The Albion boss hopes fans stay out of trouble in the game with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Poyet said: "There are great opportunities to go and enjoy and support your team to your best. That's it.
"It is about giving your maximum as a fan and expecting your team to give you the maximum because it is one of the most important games of the season.
"Go and support us and we will try our best to give you a very good afternoon.
"Don't look for anything else because there is nothing else."
Palace boss Ian Holloway said: "We are all civilised people.
"Just because you support a team, you should not want to knock ten bells out of somebody else."

Let's be honest, as all 'normal' fans would agree, it's all a bit childish. The so-called rivally is hardly based on a deep- rooted, secretarian, religious hatred which goes back for generations.
More like they are the closest club to us up the road.
Football should bring us together.
Anyway, having got that off my chest, I want nothing more than for us to win today.Three points and theoretically we could be up to 4th place.
I just hope that no one gets their teeth knocked out in a booze- fueled rumpus outside the ground.
Love thy Neighbour.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A water main break in the South Park neighborhood left some area residents without running water and prompted authorities to shut down the intersection of Hawthorn and 31st streets, a city official said.
The break was reported about 7 a.m. and caused water to flow up through the broken asphalt and into the street near the intersection, Arian Collins, spokesman for the San Diego Public Utilities Department, said.
Crews had the water shut off in about an hour and between 15 and 20 customers in houses and apartments in the 3000 block of Hawthorn Street lost water service, he said.
Corrosion to the six-inch cast iron pipe near the intersection was likely the cause of the break, according to Collins.
Crews were working to excavate the area to reach the pipe, about six feet below the street, and then cut out the broken section of pipe to replace it, Collins said.
Collins said service was expected to be restored about 3:30 p.m. and the intersection reopened by around 4 p.m.

Measuring Instead of Speculating
Dan Saks, M.S.E. President of Saks & Associates
February 25, 2013 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
C is the most widely-used language for programming embedded systems. It offers various ways to represent and manipulate hardware devices. C++ offers everything that C does, plus additional facilities that provide higher levels of abstraction. Many C programmers assert that using C++ for hardware access is too costly, yet they can offer no measurements to back that claim. This session explains how to actually measure such claims. It also presents results from some measurements that show, at least for some processors, that some widely-used C techniques are actually slower than straightforward C++ techniques.
How well do students estimate their exam scores? AND
What can and can't you learn from `error bars'?
Dr. Doug Andrews, Wittenberg University
February 11, 2013 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
When students estimate their exam scores, do they tend to over- or underestimate? To what extent is the estimation bias related to the class year and sex of the students, or to the students' actual exam scores? Does the estimation bias change over a sequence of exams? Do trends persist from class to class?
Why do people use error bars? What are the more common types of error bars, and how are they constructed? What can legitimately be learned from error bars, and what are some of the common misuses and misinterpretations? Why don't statisticians ever use the term "error bars"?
Completeness properties and topological games
Dr. Lynne Yengulalp, University of Dayton
January 28, 2013 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
The word "complete" has different meanings in different areas of mathematics, and there are even several notions of completeness within topology. Certain completeness properties can be formulated in terms of topological games. In topological games, two players alternate choosing certain subsets of a topological space according to some rules. The winner of a game is determined by whether the intersection of the chosen sets is empty or not. In this talk, I will discuss topological games and how strategies for players of topological games give completeness properties of topological spaces.
Public-Key Cryptography: Applications
Dr. Steve Bogaerts, Wittenberg University
January 14, 2013 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
Public-key cryptography requires the use of both a public and a private key. For many applications, this arrangement makes secure communication more convenient than with symmetric cryptosystems. Furthermore, the mathematics of the public-key cryptosystem RSA allows application not only in message confidentiality but also in integrity. While there are no known fundamental security holes in RSA, there is much research in mathematical and implementation attacks. This presentation will consider these topics in detail.

Artificial Intelligence for Combinatorial Games
Colin Claytong & Tyler Radley, Wittenberg University
December 3, 2012 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
Combinatorial Games are two-player games with a state in which the players take turns changing the game state in defined ways or moves to achieve a defined winning condition. In addition, in these games all of the information of both players position is known and every state and move combination can be represented by a game tree. We chose a set of five combinatorial games and added multiple difficulties of artificial intelligence for each game. To create artificial intelligences that play each of the games well, we used both self-designed algorithms and the minimax implementation of adversarial search on the game tree. We will describe our focus on primarily identifying an optimal method for each artificial intelligence to play each game and on the process of software development.
Exploitation and Prevention of Buffer Overflow in C
Ernie Heyder & Brandon Nesiba Wittenberg University
December 3, 2012 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
Buffer overflow is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory. First there is an analysis of how the program uses memory, such as the stack. Next we explore the dangers of using unsafe programming practices in the programming language C. This includes using unsafe functions and improper use of safe functions. Our discussion concludes with safe programming practices for the common programmer.
Fair Dictatorships: A Fundamental Voting Paradox
Dr. Kyle Burke, Wittenberg University
November 19, 2012 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
In 1950, Kenneth Arrow proved an amazing paradox in social choice: any voting system that follows some logical "fairness" requirements must be a dictatorship! We will discuss these fairness constraints, then prove both that a dictator exists as well as how to find that person. Potential problems with the fairness requirements will be covered, including a discussion of alternative voting systems. If time permits, a two-player voting game will be presented.
Cybersecurity and the Center for Cyberspace Research
Dr. Rusty Baldwin, Associate Professor of Computer Engineering and Director of the Research Center for Cyberspace Research
November 5, 2012 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
Dr. Baldwin will give an overview of the Center for Cyberspace Research at the Air Force Institute of Technology. He will describe the context of global cybersecurity today, including current research of the center in offensive and defensive cyberwarfare. He will also discuss the graduate curriculum in cyber operations at the center, and the CyberCorp fellowship.
Building a Naive Bayes Classifier
Eric Wilson, Ph.D., Manta Media
October 1, 2012 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
Our world is full of text that needs to be classified: emails, comments, tweets, reviews, and more. We don't have time to do it manually, and it isn't obvious how to automate the process. I will introduce a simple and powerful probabilistic machine learning technique -- a Naive Bayes Classifier -- and discuss some practical details involved in implementing such a classifier. Along the way we will learn a few things about the interesting field of Natural Language Processing.
The ENIAC's 1949 Determination of Pi
Brian Shelburne, Wittenberg University
September 17, 2012 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
In January 1950, George W. Reitwiesner published "An ENIAC Determination of π and e to more than 2000 Decimal Places" in Mathematical Tables and Other Aides to Computation describing the first use of a computer, the ENIAC, to calculate the decimal expansion of π. Because the history of π stretches back over thousands of years, the use of the ENIAC to determine π is an important historical and technological milestone. The ENIAC was not designed to perform this type of calculation; it could only store 200 decimal digits while the determination of e and π required manipulating numbers 2000+ digits long. Starting with Reitwiesner's description of the calculation, the known architecture of the ENIAC, how it was programmed, and the mathematics used, we examine why the calculation was undertaken, how it had to be done, and what was subsequently learned.

Predicting Change In Our World
Moez Ben-Azzouz, Wittenberg University
April 2, 2012 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm.
Have you ever wondered how mathematics can be leveraged to study, analyze, and predict change in our world? The field of Dynamical systems is one major branch of mathematics research that aims to do so. In this talk I will introduce the audience to dynamical systems and provide some examples and applications. Further, I will provide a brief history of how the field evolved and discuss some of the intriguing behaviors of certain types of dynamical systems.
Modeling with Brownian Motion
Dr. Flavia Sancier-Barbosa, Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Wittenberg University
Feb. 27, 2012 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
As a physical process, Brownian Motion has been the subject of much investigation since its first observations in the 19th century. As a mathematical model (also called Wiener process or "mathematical Brownian Motion"), it has been widely used to describe real-world problems that exhibit random behavior. The presentation will give a brief historical overview of this interesting process and will describe the mathematical Brownian Motion as a modeling tool, giving its use in finance as an example.

MIS-Calculations: You just can't count on your graphing calculator.
Dr. Al Stickney, Wittenberg University
Nov. 14, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Be prepared to be amazed. The enitre talk consists of examples where a numerical graphing calculator gets it wrong. I'll be using a TI-84, but the difficulties I'll be demonstrating are universal. Most of the examples are at the level or precalculus, but some use a bit of calculus. I'll begin the talk by disproving something you learned in elementary school (or middle school?)
Neighboring Nim: a Nim Game on Graphs
Dr. Kyle Burke, Wittenberg University
Oct. 10, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Neighboring Nim is a new variant of NimG in which Nim heaps are embedded in a graph. In this talk, the game will be described as well as its relationship to different forms of Vertex Geography. A reduction from Directed Geography to Neighboring Nim will be presented, along with the computational ramifications of this transformation.
Recreational Mathematics
Dr. Bill Higgins, Wittenberg University
Sept 26, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Recreational Mathematics must sound like an oxymoron to most people, yet there is a long history of doing mathematics just for fun. Rubik's cube, Sudoku and minesweeper are modern examples of puzzles with a mathematical flavor. We'll talk a bit about the history of recreational mathematics but will spend most of our time tackling a few problems - just for fun. We hope you will share at least one of the problems presented with your friends to show them how much you enjoy math.
Every Number is the Sum of Four Squares
Marshall Zarecky, Wittenberg University class of '09
Sept 12, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Number theory has historically been the one field of mathematics where problems are easy to state and notoriously difficult to solve.Problems like the Goldbach conjecture, Collatz conjecture, Beal's Conjecture, and Waring's Problem remain important subjects of research today. We will begin with an overview of a few interesting problems in this field, and finish with a proof of the Lagrange Four-Square theorem which states that every positive integer is the sum of at most four square numbers. The background required is a high school understanding of prime factors and divisibility.
The Architecture of the ENIAC
Dr. Brian Shelburne, Wittenberg University
Aug 29, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Announced to the public in February 1946, able to perform 5000 additions per second, the room sized ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) at 30 tons and 18,000 vacuum tubes was the world's first electronic computer. Yet despite its size and speed, it could only store twenty 10 digit decimal numbers and programs had to be literally wired into it. In this talk we'll examine the architecture of the ENIAC in more detail and show how it was actually programmed to perform a calculation.

Computational Alchemy: Determining the Relative Binding Affinty of Galactose to Glucose for the Glucose/ Galactose Binding Protein
Alaina Engdahl, Wittenberg University
March 21, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Ever since medieval times, the concept of alchemy--the transformation of one chemical to another --has garnered much attention. However, while no one has ever physically transformed a base metal into gold, anything is possible on a computer. By applying the free energy perturbation method to molecular dynamics simulations, the sugar galactose was alchemically transformed to glucose and the associated energy change was determined. This energy value was in turn used to determine how strong the two sugars bind to the glucose/galactose binding protein.
Application of Artificial Neural Networks to Predict Matriculation Probability
Trang Ha, Wittenberg University
March 21, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Using de-identified data on financial aid awards of Wittenberg University's students provided by Financial Aid Office, we build a program to determine the probability of matriculation rate based on the implementation of artificial neural network. Inputs for the network are some chosen variables in student's data and output is the predicted of matriculation of that student. The system is written in Mathematica 7 and gets improved by running on cluster.
Black-Scholes for Dummies: How to evaluate your options.
Dang Mai, Wittenberg University
March 21, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
In the financial world, option has long been a major instrument to hedge against changes in security prices. The Black-Scholes model, articulated by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes, is the classic model for evaluating option prices and is widely used for European-style options. This presentation looks at the basic concept of options, how the Black-Scholes model is derived, and looks at the scalability of different programming languages for a Monte-Carlo simulation of the Black-Scholes model.
Derranged Mathematics
Dr. Adam Parker, Wittenberg University
February 7, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Imagine you have a deck of cards and you shuffle them as many times as you wish. What's the liklihood no card remains in the position that it started in? The answer we find in this talk may surprise you! No background will be assumed, so we'll develp all the necessary terminology to tanslate this question into a mathematical formula and solve it during the talk. Bring a deck of cards if you have one.
Recursion Everywhere
Dr. Steve Bogaerts, Wittenberg University
January 24, 2011 Room 319 Science, 4:10 pm
Recursion is repetition through self-reference--- defining something in terms of itself. This makes for some fun and useful ideas on a variety of topics. We'll consider ordinary things like mountains, Dutch tea, and grammar, along with math /computer science things like factorials, sequences, and the Y Combinator. For more information about this talk, please see the abstract.

Free Rides: An Introduction to Stream Ciphers and Algebraic Cryptanalysis
Alex Griffith, Wittenberg University
Nov 29, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:10 pm
Stream ciphers play a critical role in a variety of electronic communications. In this talk I'll demonstrate how stream ciphers work and how they can be attacked using algebra and logic. I'll focus on two lightweight stream ciphers that have very similar structures and differing levels of security. Furthermore, these two particular ciphers are used in the transportation industry, so I'll show you how to use math to score a free ride.
Gene Set Consistency: An Evaluation of Different Gene Set Sources
Alex Sitarik, Wittenberg University
Nov 29, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:10 pm
A significant issue in the analysis of genetic data is the number of statistical tests being conducted, each of which has a probability of being in error. When many tests are being conducted, it becomes difficult to identify true associations between an organism's genes and its phenotypes. Another significant limitation of traditional approaches to the analysis of genetic data is that implicated genes may not tell a clear biological story. One approach to more clearly identify true associations is the use of "gene set" or "pathway" analysis, whereby sets of genes rather than individual genes are analyzed. This not only prevents multiple testing penalties, but also yields meaningful statistical results based on biologically related sets. Researchers use a variety of different biological repositories in order to obtain these sets of genes, but little work has been done to evaluate the efficiency of these sources. This project seeks to assess and compare the effectiveness of these sources of sets to ensure accurate genotype/phenotype association.
The Likelihood of Timelines - with Magnets!
Jordan Hildebrandt, Wittenberg University
Nov 29, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:10 pm
The Earth's magnetic field has regularly reversed polarity, and these reversals are recorded in the oceanic rock record. However, data sets are sparse, uncombined, and have high degrees of uncertainty. This fun presentation shows how one can use statistical likelihood to quantify uncertainties for geologic timescales.
Statistical Consulting: Helping the World with Data-Based Insight, One Client at a Time
Dr. Doug Andrews, Wittenberg University
Nov 8, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:10 pm
Statistical consulting is the art and science of using data to help other people solve their problems in the real world. I'll give an overview of the stat consulting process, the typical environments in which stat consultants work, they typical qualificaiton and salaries, and some of the ethics involved. I'll also illustrate what stat consultants do, using examples from industry, academia, health care, law enforcement, and non-profits - all from my own work, as well as work done with Witt students.
The Mathematics of Fairness
Dr. Bill Higgins, Wittenberg University
Oct 25, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:10 pm
The settlement of an estate among heirs, division of property following a divorce, subdivision of land among competing claimants and dividing a cake or candy among children are all problems of fair division. In this talk, we'll discuss how to define fairness and present some "fair division schemes" developed by Polish mathematician Hugo Steinhaus and others to tackle such problems.
The Cyber Corp Graduate Fellowship

Multivariable Parametric Cost Analysis for Space-Based Telescopes
Courtnay Dollinger, Wittenberg University
Sept 27, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:00 pm
This project analyzes data from over 1000 sources and focuses on data from over thirty different space-based telescopes in order to determine a cost estimating relationship. Due to the increased availability of cost data from recent space-telescope construction, we have been able to begin testing for a comprehensive cost model of space telescopes. By separating the variables that effect cost, we advance the goal to better understand the cost drivers of space telescopes. Advanced mathematical techniques have the ability to improve the accuracy of cost models and the potential to help society make informed decisions about proposed scientific projects.
Parellization of the Protein Database Search Program MassMatrix Through the Use of OpenMP ?
Zach Hedges, Wittenberg University
Sept 27, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:00 pm
In today's medical research field, it is important to be able to gather accurate results from diagnostic procedures in as little time as possible. Luckily, with the advent of multi-core computers and API's such as OpenMP, computationally-expensive analyses can be run in parallel, drastically reducing runtime. The goal of this project was to parallelize and accelerate the peptide database search algorithm, MassMatrix, utilizing OpenMP. In order to achieve this, the code was profiled and several time-consuming calculations were rewritten for parallelization. This technique proved, however, to increase run-time due to increased overhead. Further strategies for parallelization are currently being researched
Do I know you? Cryptography and Authentication Protocols
Deanna Fink, Wittenberg University
Sept 27, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:00 pm
In the age of technology, people rely more and more on computers and the internet to accomplish tasks. The military is no exception to this. But as the use of technology increases, so must the ability to protect information. Cryptography is one of the most common ways of doing this and it is being improved every day to make defenses stronger. Problems surrounding cryptography include balancing effectiveness with costs (not necessarily in terms of money). There is no way yet to create perfect cryptography techniques, but research is being done to try to keep up with or hopefully stay ahead of those trying to invade the privacy of internet users.
P vs NP: Solved?
Dr. Kyle Burke, Wittenberg University
Sept 13, 2010, Room 320 Science, 4:00 pm
The P -versus - NP problem, one of the seven famed "Millenium Problems" , is perhaps the greatest unsolved problem in Computer Science today. Or is it? At the end of this summer, a potential solution made a lot of news, even in mainstream media. This talk will shed some light on what P vs NP means, as well as comments on the recent action.

US Trustee Seeks Clawback of $10M in Fees from Kaye Scholer, Financial Adviser in Bankruptcy Case
Posted Jan 8, 2013 3:40 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
The U.S. Trustee Program is asking a federal court in Manhattan to strip a well-known law firm and a financial adviser of $10 million in fees they have earned in a major corporate bankruptcy case.
Kaye Scholer and the adviser, Capstone, perpetrated a fraud on the bankruptcy court, the U.S. Trustee Program alleges, by failing to disclose a business relationship in the GSC Group Inc. case that may have resulted in inflated costs, Reuters reports.
The two defendants were legally required to disclose the independent contractor relationship between Capstone and Robert Manzo, the trustee in charge of liquidating some GSC Group assets, but didn't, the U.S. Trustee Program contends in a Friday filing. The complaint says Manzo was portrayed as a Capstone employee, but in fact wasn't, which left the bankruptcy court in the dark about the $4 million he was paid in billings and a 15.5 percent share of Capstone's fees, plus a portion of any "success" fee, the article explains.
Court papers say Kaye Scholer knew of the independent contractor fee-sharing agreement between Capstone and Manzo but didn't disclose it. In its filing, the U.S. Trustee said managing partner Michael Solow of Kaye Scholer, who worked on the GSC matter, was a friend of Manzo's who had worked with him on multiple big bankruptcy cases, according to the news agency.
Representatives of both Kaye Scholer and Capstone described the suit as "without merit." The news agency got no response Monday evening to its request for comment from a lawyer for Manzo and said Solow declined to comment.

Seniors and People with Disabilities Developmental Disabilities Services (SPD) offers supports to children and families ranging from in home family support, intensive in-home supports and 24-hour services in foster care or residential placement. Services offered have specific eligibility standards and are usually accessed through the local Community Developmental Disabilities Programs (CDDP).
For families of children with developmental disabilities who are living at home, "Family Support" through Community Developmental Disabilities Programs may offer a variety of supports and assistance. The unique needs of families who care for a child with developmental disabilities are addressed through the development of individual plans.
For children with intensive behavior or medical needs and who are living at home, highly individualized services may be provided through the State's "Children's Intensive In-Home Services".
For children who can no longer live with their families, out of home services include foster care, proctor care and residential facilities.
The first step in locating services for your child and family is your local Community Developmental Disabilities Program, usually located in the County Mental Health Department. Service Coordinators there will talk with you to see if your child is eligible for services, help determine what kind of help your child and family needs, and work with you to develop a service plan to respond to those needs.

Every now and then, you hear something in the news about anti-hunting organizations. You hear about protests. You read about groups challenging hunting laws and sometimes trying to have hunting banned.
I think these people are clueless. And they are some of the biggest hypocrites around.
Anti-hunters think nature should take care of itself. They think hunting is cruel and that hunters only kill for the sake of killing. Many believe that we do nothing but maim animals to put trophies on the wall.
First off, hunting is not cruel. A well-placed shot with a bow and arrow or a gun, will put an animal down quickly, cleanly and humanely. Most people practice for these shots with their weapon of choice. Occasionally, a follow-up shot is needed to kill the animal. Yes, kill is the word I used. It's what we do. None of us can deny it.
What anti-hunters don't understand is that what we do is far more humane than nature? The wild can be very cruel. Nature is harsh. Animals kill each other for breeding rights. They think nothing of killing a rival to secure a breeding ritual if that is what it takes. They kill other animals for food. Bears, wolves, coyotes prey on deer and other animals to live and often the end is a bloody, terrifying scene.
Some animals like opossums dine on bird eggs and scavenge for a variety of other items for food. Raccoons and skunks are notorious for carrying and passing on rabies.
And what about the elements? The brutal weather we had this winter was not easy on Wisconsin's wildlife?
Let mother nature handle things? They have got to be kidding. Reality isn't a movie by Walt Disney. It's pure, raw and brutal in the animal kingdom.
More on hunting: Hunting headlines | Browse big buck photos | Watch Deer Camp Live | More hunting photos | Registration station map
So what would happen if hunting was banned? Would deer become like pets? Would animals become friends like in the movie 'Bambi'? Um, no.
Here is what would happen.
Animals would populate beyond carrying capacity within just a few years. There would be too many deer moving into private properties, including those in cities. Lawns would become feeding areas. Turkeys would become like rats. Rabbits, squirrels and raccoons would infest more places than they do now and rabies would become a growing problem. Coyotes and wolves are going to follow the food sources, namely the deer, and will have more human encounters. And competition for food among herbivores becomes much more intense, followed by a long, prolonged starvation. Just look at the problem with wild pigs in the south as an example.
Hunters put up a lot of money, time and effort to ensure wildlife habitat and populations are there for future generations. Agencies like the DNR regulate animal harvests and sustain habitat. The billions of dollars spent on hunting each year is critical to the state's economy.
Can anyone tell me what it is anti-hunters do besides hold protests and harass hunters that helps wildlife?
And what about trappers? Trappers are another piece of the puzzle that is often targeted by by the anti-hunters. Anti-fur demonstrations often make the evening news and the way they go about it certainly grabs the attention of some people. But what these protesters don't understand is that without trapping, coyotes, fox, raccoons and other fur-bearing animals would populate beyond control. Trappers make money on furs at the auctions, while providing neccesary materials for gloves, hats and coats. Can you say renewable resource?
So the next time an anti-hunter points out that what hunters do is terrible, ask them exactly why they believe what they believe. Ask them exactly what they do to help conservation. And then ask them if they are strictly vegetarian or even vegan. And if they can't answer any of those questions, they are truly hypocrites. Drink milk, eat cheese, they are using animals for their own purpose. Wear a leather jacket? That came from an animal. Wool gloves? Where did that come from?
Helping wildlife by donating money, time or effort for habitat? I doubt it.

The Untouchables
Review by Michael Pflug
Length: 119 mins.Rated: RFormat: Anamorphic Widescreen · 2.35:1Languages:English, FrenchSubtitles: EnglishExtras: Theatrical Trailer
There have been many movies based on popular television programs -- some good ('The Fugitive') and some bad ('The Avengers'). In rare instances, the feature film even comes to overshadow the small screen show that served as its inspiration. Such is the case with 'The Untouchables.' Featuring a sterling cast, gripping screenwriting, and deft direction by Brian DePalma, 'The Untouchables' was widely hailed as an instant classic upon its release in 1987 and is now available on DVD from Paramount Home Video.The setting is Chicago during the 30s at the height of the Prohibition era -- a city run by corrupt politicians and police and besieged by gangsters, chief among whom is none other than Al Capone, played by a slick Robert De Niro. When straight-arrow Treasury agent Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) rolls into town to clean up the mess he has absolutely no idea what he's getting himself into. But a hard-bitten Irish cop named Jim Malone (Sean Connery) sees something in this All-American boy and soon the two are joined by Giuseppe Petri (Andy Garcia), a fresh-faced Italian-American cop they just recruited out of the academy, and Oscar Wallace (Charles Martin Smith) a nervous FBI accountant who, come to find out, is quite handy with a shotgun. Together, this gang of four sets out to bring Al Capone to justice -- no matter the personal or professional cost.Bringing to life a story of legends in American history, "The Untouchables" manages to tell a captivating tale while maintaining the myth surrounding it. Almost like a time-capsule, the movie takes a snapshot of an era long gone and at the same time shows us that things weren't all that different from today. Captured in beautifully atmospheric images and masterfully acted out by a splendid cast, "The Untouchables" gets everything right. It is educating, informational and thrilling!'The Untouchables' is presented in anamorphic widescreen preserving the 2.35:1 aspect ratio of the original theatrical release. While there are a few minor issues with the transfer, overall it's quite good. Colors are deep and rich and black levels are excellent. The image is also very finely detailed and surprisingly sharp although some slight film grain is evident. The original film elements must have been in good shape as nicks and blemishes are rare. My only quibble with the image quality is that, in a few of the darker scenes, the picture becomes almost too dark, losing a bit of detail in the process. While the film's photography pays tribute to the Film Noir genre and makes heavy use of shadows to create its look, the nighttime shots for example are clearly reproduced too dark, cloaking most of the screen in impenetrable blacks. On the whole, however, this is the best 'The Untouchables' has ever looked on home video and the high resolution of the anamorphic transfer gives the presentation a lot of finely delineated definition. The compression is without flaws and no compression artifacts of any sort are evident in the transfer.Audio on this release comes in your choice of a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround track or a newly created Dolby Digital 5.1 channel mix, neither of which is very good to be honest. In each case, surround use is infrequent and seems quite out of place even when it does kick in. Additionally, dynamic range is very limited resulting in a flat sound that makes dialogue difficult to hear and renders Ennio Morricone's beautiful score almost powerless. As you might assume at this point, deep bass is also lacking from either mix. What we're left with is a very front-centered, muddy sound that doesn't begin to do justice to this fine film. For what it's worth, I found the 2.0 soundtrack to be less of a distraction than the poor 5.1 mix. It is a bit disappointing that in many of Paramount's releases the audio end of the films are so overlooked while the studio is indeed willing to commit to new anamorphic transfers.Perhaps most disheartening is the fact that the DVD release of 'The Untouchables' offers only the original theatrical trailer as a bonus feature. I understand that none of the talent of this movie has been available to contribute to this release, which left Paramount pretty empty-handed at this point, but hopefully they will be able to revisit this modern masterpiece some time to give it a full Special Edition treatment. That notwithstanding, the utter lack of any information about the film, be it in the form of production notes, talent biographies and most importantly historical information about the real-life characters we have just been watching is inexcusable. After watching this powerful film I am sure every viewer is interested in understanding the background of the story and learn what effect the work of the Untouchables had on society, as it is entirely untouched upon in the film itself. What happened to Eliott Ness or Al Capone? It is a question that for most, only a search through history books will answer at this point, when in fact the DVD could have helped enormously to educate viewers while still holding their attention.As a film 'The Untouchables' is beyond reproach. Unfortunately, Paramount Home Video's DVD release leaves much to be desired. While the video transfer is the finest I've seen for this movie, the lousy audio is a big disappointment. Throw in the complete lack of any real extras and what you're left with is a beautiful film half-heartedly transferred to DVD and priced at a premium. Fans of 'The Untouchables' likely won't be able to resist buying the DVD - I count myself among them - and the quality is by no means a complete wash, it's just that I expected much more for a movie of this caliber.Paramount's Martin Blythe responds to the review:"Your review of The Untouchables misrepresents the situation with regards to the audio tracks. This is a 1987 film transferred from 70 mm and the audio configuration in those days was inherently mixed for the front speakers. We (Paramount Home Entertainment) have chosen to be faithful to that configuration. For any older film, if the bass is muddy or there is no stereo surround, then that is how the original film was.This is a matter of aesthetics and it is our general policy to remain true to how the filmmaker finished the film."
