OTTAWA, Ont.--Export Development Canada's March numbers saw energy exports tumble, but machinery and metals showed healthy gains.
The decline in March was mainly caused by energy exports, which fell by 7.9%, due to a 7.3% fall in crude oil sales and a 16.4% decrease in natural gas. However, this was a result of falling energy prices as volumes edged down only slightly.
Canada's forestry exports shrank by 8.0% as a 19% gain in logs and wood sales could not compensate for a 8.5% drop in pulp and paper alongside an 8.6% decline in building and packaging materials.
The star performer in March was the metals sector where exports rose 8.0% due to a 20.2% gain in precious metals, a 25.1% gain in nickel sales and a 9.5% rise in aluminum, said the report.
Sales of industrial machinery received a solid 4.1% gain that was broadly spread across the subcategories as commercial and service industry machinery rose 18.3%, construction and mining equipment rose 2% and other machinery gained 7.9%.
Finally Canada's agriculture exports gained 6.2% as the beleaguered rail industry benefited from improving weather to boost shipments. Canada's canola exports rose 40.8% in March, climbing to their third strongest month ever on record. Overall, six of the eleven major categories increased during the month.
US and European economies pointing to strength ahead
The strongest export gains in March went to Europe which saw increases across a wide variety of categories as confidence continues to rise and the economy returns to growth. Sales to the UK were particularly strong, but were driven by precious metal sales which can be highly volatile. Canada's exports to the US fell by 2.5%, but this was caused by lower energy sales, of which 96% of exports are destined for the US. The success of the US hydraulic fracturing technology has brought spectacular increases in US oil & gas production and has put downward pressure on North American prices. However, the strengthening US economy, with rising investment demand and strong consumer spending will benefit a wide variety of export sectors in the months and years ahead. A resurgent US and a healthier Europe will lead to much stronger sales for Canadian exporters in 2014, said EDC.

Connick: Expect the unexpected from 'Idol' team
New "American Idol" judge Harry Connick Jr. says to "expect the unexpected" from him and fellow judges Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban.
Associated Press
New "American Idol" judge Harry Connick Jr. says to "expect the unexpected" from him and fellow judges Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban.
The trio held a tryout Wednesday in Boston for the Fox show's upcoming season, which begins in January.
"I mean, I didn't know what to expect, and Keith and Jennifer have both done it before, and I think the whole fun of it is not knowing what to expect," Connick said.
The jazz singer and musician has been an "Idol" mentor. Lopez was a judge in 2011 and 2012 before taking a year off to tour. Urban was a judge last season, often caught between bickering divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.
Lopez didn't comment on whether her return will help boost ratings, but she said "we are off to a great start with the talent in this season." Other tryouts are being held Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Detroit; Omaha, Neb.; Salt Lake City and San Francisco.
Lopez was asked if she has advice for Connick. Urban joked, "Yeah, shut the hell up," just as Lopez said "less talking."
But Urban quipped that no talking "won't twerk," playing on the recent buzz about Miley Cyrus' dance performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Connick said they'll never run out of interesting things to say if they focus on the contestants.
"What I really dig sitting up here as I watch Jennifer and Keith, they are processing every single person individually ... you really have to take each person seriously and as a singular performance," Connick said.
He said that makes it exciting for viewers "because they think that you are vested - which we are."

Article: Identification of Regulatory Networks in HSCs and Their Immediate Progeny via Integrated Proteome, Transcriptome, and DNA Methylome Analysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this study, we present integrated quantitative proteome, transcriptome, and methylome analyses of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and four multipotent progenitor (MPP) populations. From the characterization of more than 6,000 proteins, 27,000 transcripts, and 15,000 differentially methylated regions (DMRs), we identified coordinated changes associated with early differentiation steps. DMRs show continuous gain or loss of methylation during differentiation, and the overall change in DNA methylation correlates inversely with gene expression at key loci. Our data reveal the differential expression landscape of 493 transcription factors and 682 lncRNAs and highlight specific expression clusters operating in HSCs. We also found an unexpectedly dynamic pattern of transcript isoform regulation, suggesting a critical regulatory role during HSC differentiation, and a cell cycle/DNA repair signature associated with multipotency in MPP2 cells. This study provides a comprehensive genome-wide resource for the functional exploration of molecular, cellular, and epigenetic regulation at the top of the hematopoietic hierarchy.Cell Stem Cell 10/2014; 15(4):507-522. · 25.32 Impact Factor

Article: Myelodysplastic Cells in Patients Reprogram Mesenchymal Stromal Cells to Establish a Transplantable Stem Cell Niche Disease Unit.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a heterogeneous group of myeloid neoplasms with defects in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and possibly the HSPC niche. Here, we show that patient-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MDS MSCs) display a disturbed differentiation program and are essential for the propagation of MDS-initiating Lin(-)CD34(+)CD38(-) stem cells in orthotopic xenografts. Overproduction of niche factors such as CDH2 (N-Cadherin), IGFBP2, VEGFA, and LIF is associated with the ability of MDS MSCs to enhance MDS expansion. These factors represent putative therapeutic targets in order to disrupt critical hematopoietic-stromal interactions in MDS. Finally, healthy MSCs adopt MDS MSC-like molecular features when exposed to hematopoietic MDS cells, indicative of an instructive remodeling of the microenvironment. Therefore, this patient-derived xenograft model provides functional and molecular evidence that MDS is a complex disease that involves both the hematopoietic and stromal compartments. The resulting deregulated expression of niche factors may well also be a feature of other hematopoietic malignancies.Cell stem cell 04/2014; · 23.56 Impact Factor

Article: Disrupted Signaling through the Fanconi Anemia Pathway Leads to Dysfunctional Hematopoietic Stem Cell Biology: Underlying Mechanisms and Potential Therapeutic Strategies.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fanconi anemia (FA) is the most common inherited bone marrow failure syndrome. FA patients suffer to varying degrees from a heterogeneous range of developmental defects and, in addition, have an increased likelihood of developing cancer. Almost all FA patients develop a severe, progressive bone marrow failure syndrome, which impacts upon the production of all hematopoietic lineages and, hence, is thought to be driven by a defect at the level of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC). This hypothesis would also correlate with the very high incidence of MDS and AML that is observed in FA patients. In this paper, we discuss the evidence that supports the role of dysfunctional HSC biology in driving the etiology of the disease. Furthermore, we consider the different model systems currently available to study the biology of cells defective in the FA signaling pathway and how they are informative in terms of identifying the physiologic mediators of HSC depletion and dissecting their putative mechanism of action. Finally, we ask whether the insights gained using such disease models can be translated into potential novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of the hematologic disorders in FA patients.Anemia 01/2012; 2012:265790.

Sneak doesn't like to be grateful. Gratefulness implies somebody has done something nice for him. However, today, he makes an exception: today is quite possibly the most important day on the IT calendar: SysAdmin Day. And system administrators deserve some respect.
It's the 14th time this celebration of our unsung office heroes has been held, so it's a surprise that Sneak hasn't heard of it before. But he'll do his best to make the most of it at such short notice by meeting every member of IT staff in the building, giving them a handshake and informing them that, for once, he hasn't been downloading and running executables in direct contravention of IT policy.
An IT staffer tries to solve another one of Sneak's 'unusual' computer problems
The official SysAdmin Day website recommends ice cream, pizza, cards, gifts and t-shirts. Sneak recommends a hearty pat on the back and a 'sorry for everything', as this will probably mean more and indirectly also help with the budget, which can be spent on that much-needed laptop upgrade Sneak's been after for a while.
Sneak finds juggling a suitable visual metaphor for a system admin's job
With that being said, if your company operates a BYOD policy, Sneak suggests you BYOCake as the bravery required to enact such a policy is extensive.
For UK-based IT chaps and chappettes, there's a couple of parties taking place in London and Nottingham today in your honour. Go wild!
As one who never ventures far from the safety of his living room Sneak can count himself lucky he's not one of the many Londoners who have experienced street crime, especially not of his beloved mobile phone.
However, it's a worrying trend and Sneak was pleased to see Mayor of London Boris Johnson tackle the issue head on with a letter to the top mobile phone makers, including Apple, Samsung and Google, asking them to help tackle phone theft.
Scanning the letter, it's clear some hasty rewriting took place in City Hall to tone down some of Johnson's more colourful prose. However, a source in the capital passed Sneak a copy of the first draft, which is presented below in all its glory.
Dear chaps or chapesses (yes I know women can be high-ranking business officials these days, the modern world eh, marvelous!)
What spiffing weather we're having! Anyhoo, look, there's this dash awful phone-gizmo theft problem in London that I need your help with. It seems some of the awful scallywags and ne'er-do-wells who don't live in Kensington and Chelsea are appropriating – through foul means – the portable telecommunication devices of upstanding citizens.
The rozzers at Scots Yard tell me they're powerless to stop anyone and that I should ask you geek and nerds – and I mean that affectionately you brilliant brainy boffins – for some help stopping these ruffians.
No, I don't mean some sort of weedy geek squads patrolling the streets, Lord no!
What I want is some sort of whizzo tech solution. Surely you can rustle up some nifty gizmo to stop this happening? Some sort of Heath Robinson contraption that stops someone being able to use a stolen phone would be great – you could call it the Boris-a-tron! You can have that free of charge! Marvelous!
Anyway, send me some drawings of what you think could work and I'll personally look over them before giving them the sign off.
Toodle pip,
Sent from my blasted tablet device (haha!)
Thieves of London, you have been warned...

Sneak's go-to baked beans emporium Sainsbury's will serve people that arrive at its tills while talking on a mobile phone.
This is good news for Sneak, a man who at times has been bee-keeping, sleeping, riding a scooter, plotting a star chart, riding a bull, and making a ship in a bottle at checkouts in the past, and enjoys the freedom of doing whatever he wants, no matter who he is dealing with.
Sneak has his right to let his attention wander thanks to a lady called Jo, who was on her phone when she got to the checkout in her local store.
"I was standing at the foot of the till waiting to bag my shopping up, yet the lady on the checkout was just staring at me," said Jo Clarke to the Metro newspaper about the incident.
"I ended my call swiftly and said to the lady on the checkout, 'Apologies, I didn't realise that it was Sainsbury's policy that you are unable to use your phone at the checkout,' and she said, 'Well you learn something new every day,'."
Sneak asked Sainsbury's, while he was playing Ping Pong, doing a Sudoku, and wrestling an alligator, for the official policy on mobile phones at the till, and was told that the firm will serve people whether they are on a phone or not.
"It's clear that this story has touched a nerve as the weight of discussion and comment indicates," added a spokesperson.
"Whilst we appreciate the points made, given Ms Clarke was unhappy with our service, we did feel it was appropriate to apologise to her."
Well that's good. Any chance of a free tin of baked beans?
Like many wage slaves, Sneak has a morning routine that involves nipping off to make a cuppa while waiting for the office PC to boot up. But while this strikes Sneak as a bit of productive time management and multi-tasking, Sneak was shocked by V3 revelations of the IT woes that befall many civil servants. Apparently, Whitehall workers have time to cook and eat a full English before their computers are ready to use.
But not everybody was so shocked. Indeed, one Daily Telegraph columnist sniffed that her sources had cast doubt on the claims made by Stephen Kelly, the government's chief operating officer, that it takes him seven minutes to boot his computer.
Clearly Kelly is not one to let such slights pass without comment. So on Wednesday he got colleagues to video him logging on to his laptop and posted the results on YouTube. However, by Thursday the video had been removed, no doubt after Kelly was taken to task by his seniors for posting a video showing his PC logins, and yet again criticising public sector IT.
l videoed my laptop booting at 7am this AM: 7min 20s youtube.com/watch?v=sanq7v… Keen to be transparent with @telegraph telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…— Stephen Kelly (@SKellyCOO) June 12, 2013
For those with more pressing things to do with their time than watch seven minutes 18 seconds of inactivity, Sneak can provide an abridged version: it took more than three minutes before Kelly could log in, and a further four minute pass while his personal account is loaded. Meanwhile, his iPad is timing the log on attempt.
"The iPad's losing the will to live," he notes at one point. We feel its pain, we feel its pain.
So in many ways, it's good to see that Whitehall mandarins have a good grasp on the IT issues affecting their users. However, Sneak looks forward to the day they have similar levels of awareness over the wisdom of videoing inputting your log credentials to highly sensitive government computer systems and posting it on the internet.

Sneak loves a bit of a argy bargy, and so was glued to Twitter recently as the people running the Samsung and HTC Twitter accounts in the UK fell out over some awards.
Both firms took to their UK Twitter accounts late on Friday to discuss some gongs that their hardware had picked up.
Last night we won the 'Hottest phone of 2013' at the Mobile Awards #HTCOne twitter.com/o_reilly_garre… Ouch @samsungmobileuk— HTC UK (@htc_uk) June 7, 2013
But Samsung had apparently done the best, and did not want to let HTC celebrate too hard. So it stepped up with a sharpened pin and popped HTC's bubble.
"That's okay guys, our arms were full with the other three awards we took home last night. You can have that one!," replied Samsung.
HTC didn't take long to grab a handful of mud and fire it at its Korean rival. Rather than josh the firm, it brought up the spectre of its apparent tendency to pay people to smear its hardware in public.
"All those students you paid to write fake reviews of your competitors finally paid off. Pay rise, maybe?", HTC tweeted.
This led to an intervention from LG Electronics, asking everyone to just calm down.
@htc_uk @samsungmobileuk lg.com/uk/mobile-phon… twitter.com/LGUK/status/34…— LG Electronics UK (@LGUK) June 7, 2013
Samsung has been accused of using students in Taiwan to smear mud on its rivals. In a Facebook statement in April, it said that it would stop posting anonymous reviews.
"Samsung Taiwan has halted all internet marketing such as posting articles on websites," it said. It hasn't commented on the recent Twitter talk from HTC.
Ah time, such a tricky concept. What time is it? Well, it depends where in the world you are, or as the BBC found out, what time your computer tells you it is.
A complaint from a BBC website user with, ironically, perhaps too much time on their hands, raised the alarming fact that the clock on the frontpage of the BBC website does not display the 'correct' time, but it merely draws data from the clock on a user's device.
This meant, to anyone who relies solely on the BBC clock to the tell the time, there was a risk of ending up late for an important event by relying on the data supplied by the BBC as it could be wrong – even though it would be the user's fault for having their computer running on the wrong time. Or would it really be the device manufacturers fault for creating a faulty clock? The legal repercussions could be endless. No doubt someone would end up with a ticking off.
All in all, the BBC Trust agreed it was a serious matter and one the BBC should strive to get right.
"Having a homepage clock which does not necessarily reflect the right time in the UK, and which is not labelled on the homepage as deriving its time from a user's own computer clock, is not consistent with the guideline requirement for the BBC to do all it can to ensure due accuracy in all its output," it said.
In response the BBC has taken a course of action that Sneak himself wholeheartedly approves of – giving up.
"Given the technical complexities of implementing an alternative central clock, and the fact that most users already have a clock on their computer screen, the BBC has taken the decision to remove the clock from the homepage in an upcoming update."
Well creating an accurate, working clock application would take too much time wouldn't it?
23 May 2013
More than a quarter century after its introduction to the computing space, the GIF image format remains something of a controversial format.
No, not because the quasi-animated images slow loading times or can be incredibly annoying when recklessly deployed, but because of the pronunciation of the name. Nobody can agree whether the word is pronounced with hard G -as in 'goat'- or a soft G -as in 'gel'.
Now, however, the man behind the format is settling the debate (and quite a few bar bets) by clearing up once and for all how to pronounce the word.
In an interview with the New York Times, former Compuserve engineer and GIF originator Steve Wilhite confirmed once and for all that his iconic creation is in fact pronounced with a soft G sound.
That's right, the platform for the infamous 'dancing baby' shares its name with a popular brand of American peanut butter. And according to Wilhite, the Oxford English Dictionary has had the wrong pronunciation listed all this time.
Now that we've finally settled this silly matter, Sneak can move onto more important things, like whether one should pronounce the individual letters in LOLcats or say it all as one word.
As someone who likes to sit around in his dressing gown watching daytime TV, Sneak is well-versed with the process of claiming benefits to fund his relaxed lifestyle. So he was very excited with the transition of certain benefit claim forms to the web, meaning even less reason for him to interact with any actual humans.
Those who want to claim either Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance or Overseas State Pension can simply visit the Gov.UK website, where they are then pointed to the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) website to fill out a form online.
So far, so impressive, in that the government is allowing citizens to apply for benefits over the web, rather than having to fill out forms and send them in via the post or visit offices in person.
However, it seems that many of those claimants could fall at the first hurdle due to some rather outdated stipulations about the computer systems supported by the DWP.
"This service doesn't work with some modern browsers and operating systems," the DWP notes. "We are considering how best to provide this service in future. You may want to claim in another way."
That's putting it mildly. Sneak has decided to post these system requirements here in their full glory, as he couldn't word them better than the DWP.
"The service does not work properly with Macs or other Unix-based systems even though you may be able to input information.
"You are likely to have problems if you use Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9 and 10, Windows Vista or a smartphone. Clearing temporary internet files may help but you may wish to claim in another way.
"There is also a high risk that if you use browsers not listed below, including Chrome, Safari or Firefox, the service will not display all the questions you need to answer. This is likely to prevent you from successfully completing or submitting the form. You may wish to claim in another way."
And now on to the much more restricted list of what your computer needs to be running if you actually want to claim a benefit online.
"The service was designed to work with the following operating systems and browsers. Many of these are no longer available:
This sent Sneak running to dig out his old Windows ME machine from the loft, running IE 4 - but there are still further obstacles to getting any money out of the government.
"This service is not available on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 1.00am to 1.30am because of essential maintenance work. We apologise for any inconvenience," warns the DWP.
Perhaps that's when their hamsters change shifts - you know, the ones that run inside wheels keeping government IT systems up and running.

Posted April 14, 2013 on AP on Fox
Kevin Na has shot some big scores before. Add No. 12 at Augusta National to the list. He made a 10 at there on Sunday. By the time he reached the hole, Na was already 9-over par and trailing the leader by 17 strokes. He hit his first tee shot at the 155-yard, par-3 hole into the pond. Then he teed up another instead of hitting his next shot from a drop spot, and put that in the pond, too. The gallery applauded him for making a third attempt, and roared when the fourth landed safely behind the green. A chip and a putt later for 10, he turned to the grandstand and doffed his cap. Na carded a 16 on a hole at the Texas Open two years ago.

Julia updateSeptember 16, 2014
I'm totally committed to Julia now. It is blitzing fast and very similar to Matlab with some small differences (improvements). I particularly like the fact that when you declare an array with one argument, like x = zeros(10), it immediately gives you a vector of length 10 and not a 10 X 10 matrix. The broadcast function is also very useful. There are still many things I don't yet know how to do in Julia like how to import and export data. Plotting is also not fully solved. I've been using PyCall to import matplotlib.pyplot, which works pretty well but not perfectly. There are things I miss in Matlab like context dependent history recall, i.e. I can recall an old command line by just typing the first few letters. If anyone knows how to do this in Julia please let me know. Right now, I'm hitting the uparrow button continuously until I find the line I want. I do worry that my abandoning Matlab means someone will lose their job, which is certainly not my intention. However, I am well ahead of schedule for zero Matlab.

Unintended consequencesSeptember 10, 2014
Here is a true story. A young man is trained to hit people as hard as possible and to react immediately to any provocation with unhindered aggression. He signs a 5 year contract for 35 million dollars to do this 16 times a year or more if he and his colleagues are very successful at doing it. One day he gets upset with his fiancée and strikes her in the head so hard that she is knocked unconscious in a public place. This creates a minor stir so the employer mandates that he must apologize and is prohibited from smashing into people for 2 of the 16 times he is scheduled to do so. The fiancée-now-spouse also refuses to press charges because she doesn't want to jeopardize the 27 million over the next 3 years owed to the man. However, a video showing the incident is made public creating a huge uproar so the employer abruptly fires the man and condemns him since he now is no longer financially useful to the employer. The public now feels vindicated that such a despicable man is no longer employed and that domestic violence now is given the attention it deserves. However, the spouse is very unhappy because her comfortable lifestyle has just been pulled from right under her. Now, other spouses who live with violent but rich men will be even more silent about abuse because they fear losing their livelihoods too. If we really cared about victims of domestic violence, we would force the employer to set up a fund to ensure that spouses that come forward are compensated financially. We would also force them to support institutions that help the many more victims of domestic abuse who are not married to rich and famous people. This young man is probably an upstanding citizen most of the time. Now he is unemployed and potentially even angrier. He should not be thrown out onto the street but given a chance to redeem himself. The employers and the system who trained and groomed these young men need to look at themselves.
The morality of watching (American) footballSeptember 7, 2014
The question in this week's New York Times Ethicist column is whether it is wrong to watch football because of the inherent dangers to the players. The ethicist, Chuck Klosterman, says that it is ethical to watch football because the players made the decision to play freely with full knowledge of the risks. Although I think Klosterman has a valid point and I do not judge anyone who enjoys football, I have personally decided to forgo watching it. I simply could no longer stomach watching player after player going down with serious injuries each week. In Klosterman's article, he goes on to say that even if football were the only livelihood the players had, we should still watch football so that they could have a livelihood. This is where I disagree. Aside from the fact that we shouldn't have a society where the only chance to have a decent livelihood is through sports, football need not be that sport. If football did not exist, some other sport, including a modified safer football, would take its place. Soccer is the most popular sport in the rest of the world. Football exists in its current form because the fans support it. If that support moved to another sport, the players would move too.

MCMC for linear modelsAugust 25, 2014
I've been asked in a comment to give a sample of pseudo code for an MCMC algorithm to fit a linear model to some data. See here for the original post on MCMC. With a linear model, you can write down the answer in closed form (see here), so it is a good model to test your algorithm and code. Here it is in pseudo-Julia code:
# initial guess for parameters a and b
# construct chi squared, where D is the data vector and x is the vector of the
# independent quantity
chi = norm(D - (a*x +b))^2;
for n = 1 : total;
# Make random guesses for new normally distributed a and b with mean old a and b
# and standard deviation asig and bsig
at = a + asig * randn()
bt = b + bsig * randn() chit = norm(D - (at*x + bt))^2;
# Take ratio of likelihoods, sigma is the data uncertainty
ratio=exp((-chit + chi)/(2*sigma^2));
# Compare the ratio to a uniform random number between 0 and 1,
# keep new parameters if ratio exceeds random number
if rand() < ratio a = at;
b = bt; chi = chit; end
# Keep running until convergence

J. Bryce McLeod, 1929-2014August 20, 2014
I was given the sad news that J. Bryce McLeod died today in his home in England. Bryce was an extraordinary mathematician and an even better human being. I had the fortune of being his colleague in the math department at the University of Pittsburgh. I will always remember how gracious and welcoming he was when I started. One of the highlights of my career was being invited to a conference in his honour in Oxford in 2001. At the conference dinner, Bryce gave the most perfectly constructed speech I have ever heard. It was just like the way he did mathematics – elegantly and sublimely.
Julia vs Python updateAugust 19, 2014
We've been using Julia for a little over a month now and I am quite pleased thus far. It is fast enough for us to get decent results for our MCMC runs; runs for which Python and Brian were too slow. Of course, we probably could have tried to optimize our other codes but Julia installs right out of the box and is very easy to program in. We still have issues for plotting but do have minimal plot functionality using PyCall and importing matplotlib.pyplot. One can also dump the results to a file and have either Python or some other software make the plots. I already find myself reaching for Julia when I want to write a quick code to solve a problem instead of relying on Matlab like I used to. While I would like to try PyDSTool, the lack of a trivial installation is holding us back. For you budding software developers out there, if it takes more than one click on a link to make it work on my computer, I am likely to go to something else. The reason I switched from Linux to Mac a decade ago was that I wanted Unix capability and the ability to print without having to consult with a sys admin.

Numerical integrationAugust 14, 2014
Solving differential equations numerically is a very mature field with multiple algorithms carefully explained in multiple textbooks. However, when it comes down to actually solving them in practice by nonspecialists, a lot of people, myself included, will often resort to the Euler method. There are two main reasons for this. The first is that it is trivial to remember and code and the second is that Moore's law has increased the speed of computing sufficiently that we can get away with it. However, I think it's time to get out of the eighteenth century and at least move into the nineteenth.
Suppose you have a differential equation , where can be a scalar or a vector in an arbitrary number of dimensions. The Euler method simply discretizes the time derivative via
so that at time step is given by
Now what could be simpler than that? There are two problems with this algorithm. The first is that it is only accurate to order so you need to have very small steps to simulate accurately. The second is that the Euler method is unstable if the step size is too large. The way around these limitations is to use very small time steps, which is computationally expensive.
The second most popular algorithm is probably (4th order) Runge-Kutta, which can generally use larger time steps for the same accuracy. However, a higher order algorithm is not necessarily faster because what really slows down a numerical scheme is the number of function evaluations it needs to make and 4th order Runge-Kutta needs to make a lot of function evaluations. Runge-Kutta is also plagued by the same stability problems as Euler and that can also limit the maximum allowed step size.
Now, these problems have been known for decades if not centuries and work-arounds do exist. In fact, the most sophisticated solvers such as CVODE tend to use adaptive multi-step methods, like Adams-Bashforth (AB) or it's implicit cousin Adams-Moulton and this is what we should all be implementing in our own codes. Below I will give simple pseudo-code to show how a 2nd order Adams-Bashforth scheme is not much more complicated to code than Euler and uses the same number of function evaluations. In short, with not much effort, you can speed your code immensely by simply switching to AB.
The cleverness of AB is that it uses previous steps to refine the estimate for the next step. In this way, you get a higher order scheme without having to re-evaluate the right hand side of your ODE. You simply reuse your computations. It's the ultimate green scheme. For the same ODE example above 2nd order AB is simply
You just need to store the previous two evaluations to compute the next step. To start the algorithm, you can just use an Euler algorithm to get the first step.
Here is the 2nd order AB algorithm written in pseudo Julia code for a one dimensional version of the ODE above.
# make x a two dimensional vector for the two time steps
# Set initial condition
# Store evaluation of function f(x,t) for later use
fstore[1]= f(x[1],h)
# Take Euler step
x[2] = x[1] + h*fstore[1]
# store function at time = 2h
fstore[2] = f(x[2],2*h)
# Store computed values for output
# Take AB steps
for t = 3:Tfinal
# set update indices for x based on parity of t
index2 = t%2+1
index1 = (t-1)%2+1
# 2nd order AB step
x[index1] = x[index2]+h*(1.5*fstore[2]-0.5*fstore[1]))
# update stored function
fstore[index1] = f(x[index1],t*h)
return xout

The neuro software gapAugust 4, 2014
Our foray into Julia was mostly motivated by a desire to have a programming language as fast as C but as easy to program as Matlab. In particular, we need really fast looping speed, which is necessary to simulate dynamical systems. Our particular project involves fitting a conductance-based model (i.e. Hodgkin-Huxley-like equations) to some data using MCMC. We're not trying to fit the precise spike shapes per se but the firing rates of synaptically coupled pools of neurons in response to various inputs. We thus need to run simulations for some time, compare the averaged rates to previous runs, and iterate. For good fits, we may need to do this a million times. Hence, we need speed and we can't really parallelize because we need information from one iteration before going to the next.
Now, one would think that simulating neural networks is a long solved problem and I thought that too. Hence, I instructed my fellow Wally Xie to look into all the available neural simulators and see what fits the bill. We first tried Neuron but couldn't get all of it to work on our Linux machine running CentOS (which is what NIH forces us to use). That was the end of Neuron for us. We next tried Nest but found it difficult to specify the neuron model. We finally settled on Brian, which is adaptable, written in Python, and supported by very nice people, but is turning out to be too slow. Native Python is also too slow. Stan would be great but it does not yet support differential equations. Wally is now implementing the code in Julia, which is turning out to be very fast but has a possible bug that is preventing long runs. The developers are extremely helpful though so we believe this will be worked out soon. However, it is hard to get plotting to work on Julia and as pointed out by many, Julia is not nearly as complete as Python or Matlab. (Yes, Matlab is too slow). We could use C and will go to it next if Julia does not work out. Thus, even though people have been developing neural simulators for decades, there is still an unmet need for something adaptable, fast, easy to use, and runs out of the box. A neuro-Stan would be great.

Tim's VermeerJuly 28, 2014
Jan Vermeer has been one of my favourite painters ever since I saw his famous "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" painting that was on display in Toronto in the 1980's. I've been on a quest to see all of his paintings although its been on hiatus for the past ten years. Here is the list of what I've seen so far (I have five left). You only need to stand in front of a Vermeer for a few seconds to be mesmerized. I stood in front of "The Music Lesson" in Buckingham Palace for at least an hour. The guard started joking with me because I was so transfixed. This is why I've been intrigued by recent suggestions by artist David Hockney and others that some great old masters like Vermeer and van Eyck may have used optical aids like camera obscura. Well, inventor Tim Jenison has taken this theory to another level by attempting to completely recreate Vermeer's Music Lesson using a set up of mirrors and lenses that he (re)invented. The endeavor is documented in the film Tim's Vermeer directed by Teller of Penn and Teller fame. Whether you believe the theory or not (I actually do and it doesn't detract at all for my love of Vermeer), what this film does do so well is to show what dedication, thought, patience, and careful execution can accomplish. I got tired just watching him paint the threads in a Persian rug using his optical tool.

What is called classical music mostly refers to the Western symphony orchestra tradition that starts in the seventeenth century with Vivaldi and peaks in the early twentieth with Mahler. While classical music remains popular, my unscientific sampling of concert hall audiences indicates that the demographic skews to retirement age and above. I don't know if this means that a generation of music lovers is about to depart or that people only have the patience to sit through a long concert when they are older. In an attempt to introduce a new generation to classical music, I thought I would present a selection each week. And what's a better way to kick it off then with the pseudo-Baroque precursor to heavy metal, the Praeludium and Allegro by Fritz Kreisler. Kreisler performed in the first half of the twentieth century. He was one of the greatest violin virtuosos of all time and also wrote some great violin ditties. Here is a performance by the then 13 year old Canadian/American violinist Leila Josefowicz in 1991.

According to the latest census, Rockwell City's population was 1,709. In 2000, the city had 2,264 residents. That's a loss of 555 residents.
Rockwell City is home to a state prison that houses about 500 inmates. Heinlen told The Messenger in Fort Dodge that he wants to know if the inmates weren't counted or were improperly listed in some other community.
He says if the population drop is correct, the city will lose $50,000 in road use tax money that's distributed according to population

Beginning with the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), relations between the Catholic and Jewish communities have developed in new and positive ways that are unprecedented in the previous two thousand years. Founded in 1967, the first at a Catholic university in the United States in reponse to the Council's call for Catholic-Jewish dialogue, the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations has been a steady participant in this unfolding interfaith rapprochement.
Flowing from the Catholic and Ignatian identity of Saint Joseph's University, the Institute's mission is to increase knowledge and deepen understanding between the Jewish and Catholic communities. The Institute pursues a vision of shalom (or "right relationship") between Catholics and Jews in partnership with scholars and religious leaders around the nation and the world. Institute personnel offer courses on Christian-Jewish relations to Saint Joseph's University students through the Department of Theology and Religious Studies and also partner nationally and internationally in research dedicated to furthering the process of Jewish and Catholic reform and reconciliation.

Double delight for Grimshaw
Grimshaw is celebrating a double whammy of high-profile competition wins after scooping a brace of prizes in London and New York.On Tuesday (22 March) the practice was picked to design the new London School of Economics (LSE), beating a shortlist of six big-name architects in the process.The announcement came just hours after Grimshaw had been chosen to mastermind the expansion of the Queens Museum of Art (QMA) in New York.The £30 million LSE scheme ( pictured) is set to transform a former government building in Kingsway into a 'landmark teaching and research space'. Overlooking Lincoln's Inn Fields, the new facility will contain three lecture theatres, more than 30 classrooms, academic offices and a café.The five other finalists in the LSE design contest were AHMM, David Chipperfield Architects, Eric Parry Architects, HOK International and KPF.Meanwhile, Grimshaw has also come up trumps in New York, with a competition-winning scheme to double the size of the QMA.The practice wants to overhaul the southern half of the existing museum building, which currently houses an ice-skating rink, and create new gallery, education and administrative spaces.Tom Anderson of Ammann & Whitney, the consultant architect on the project, said: 'We think QMA can become the new town square for the diverse Queens community - the place to go for multiple events that celebrate the ethnic diversity of the borough.'by Richard Waite

Sophomore Josh Lester (Columbus, Ga.) launched his first homer of the season and classmate Peter Fairbanks (Webster Groves, Mo.) was sharp over 6.2 innings, but Mizzou baseball fell to No. 11 South Carolina, 3-1, on Saturday afternoon at Carolina Stadium. The loss drops Mizzou to 20-29 on the year and 6-20 in SEC play. Fairbanks allowed just one earned run over 6.2 innings, but the defense let him down as two more unearned runs scored as he took the loss. However, in his last five appearances, Fairbanks owns a 1.40 ERA over 25.2 innings pitched. Lester's first-inning homer was his first since May 4, 2013, but that was all the offense could scrape across in the loss.

Two mobile homes beside the RV were also damaged.

Here's IGN's review.
Great game. The Joker all-day!
Great game by itself. It also has cross unlocks with the mobile (iOS/Android) version of the game which I actually have enjoyed more. (The mobile game is free to play.)
It's $20 at GameStop new, so if ur not a Pri-me member and shipping pushes you over that then go to GS.
This is a great game if you are into Mortal Kombat. But for those who have a Playstation 4 with a Playstation Plus subscription I recommend to wait until December because this game was officially announced as one of the free instant game collection for next month.

Amazing cleanser
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by butteredcrumpet on Apr 23, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I purchased this cleanser on a whim without reading any reviews which is not something I usually do. I found myself drawn to the quality ingredients of herbs and essential oils plus the fact that it's soap free. I was especially drawn to the apple and lemon juice + raw cane sugar and lactic acid. This cleanser is absolutely amazing. My skin has become clearer and much more radiant, has taken on more of an even tone and is a lot less prone to blemishes. Great for temperamental hormonal skin. You only require a tiny amount and the cleanser foams well, it leaves you with a clean feeling but in no way stripped of moisture. The price is amazingly low too, I've used cleansers 5x the price of Frownies which have not even come close to the quality and effectiveness of this product.
Good but ingredients not what iHerb lists
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by 5314079853830134719 on Aug 25, 2014
Purchased at iHerb
My skin: (very) acne-prone, very oily, large pores, clogs easily. I bought this because I wanted a chemically-exfoliating cleanser with NO glycerin (clogs my pores), and I liked the natural-sounding ingredient list listed on iHerb. Overall, I do like it. It suds well despite there being no SLS, and it is *very slightly* drying, though my skin does have dry patches from use of retinoids. It hasn't cured my acne, but it definitely cuts through the oil effectively. However, ingredient list on iHerb is incorrect. The correct one is below, and this is also what is stated on the bottle I received from iHerb. Distilled Water, Apple Cider Concentrates, Decyl Polyglucose (non GMO), Lemon Juice, Soapnuts (Spaindus trifoliatus), Yucca Glauca Root Extract, Raw Cane Demerara Sugar, Xanthan Gum, Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Essential Oils of: Lavender (Lavandula officinalis), Mandarin (Citrus Paradisi), Aspen Bark (Populus Tremuloides), Glyceryl Monocapriylate, and Glyceryl Monoundecylenate.
Better than most cleanser

It's better than other complexion wash and it does not dry the skin.Click the user name to see my other reviews.

Sunset Beach HotelsThe charming seaside town of Sunset Beach has long sandy stretches of coast with clear seas that make for the perfect family location. The area is famous for its many golf courses, with several championship greens available for players of all handicaps, and comfortable resorts that allow you to get in as much tee time as possible during your trip. Set on a barrier island; the town has a slightly isolated feel, but it's close to major cities of North Carolina and enjoys excellent road links. Things to seeThe Oyster Bay Golf Club is set around a large lake, with well-kept greens and tall trees providing shade from the sunshine. There are plenty of challenges for even the most experienced golfer, with island holes and both long and short holes, and once you're finished with your game you can head to the cozy tavern for refreshments. The 54-hole Sea Trail Golf Resort is popular with beginners and those who want to enjoy a straightforward game, and the resort is also home to a conference center and many private events, allowing you to enjoy the pretty lakeside course in-between work and social engagements. Inside the utilitarian exterior of the Ingram Planetarium, you'll find a magical experience where you can see the stars and learn about different constellations and planets. You simply lie back in your comfortable seat, and the projector creates a fascinating show on the domed ceiling, with both educational and fun events going on. Hotels in Sunset BeachThe area has lots of beach resorts and you'll find many Sunset Beach hotels with sea view rooms. You can enjoy facilities such as indoor and outdoor pools, spa tubs, restaurants, bars, and lounges to help you relax during your stay. Some hotels also have golf courses on site, as well as bike and surfing rentals to keep visitors entertained. There's a choice of guestrooms on offer, and you can enjoy amenities such as coffee makers, air conditioning, irons and ironing boards, hair dryers, cable television, and daily housekeeping services. You'll find boutique properties close to the beach, with individually designed rooms, as well as suites with kitchens and separate living areas. Where to staySunset Beach has long stretches of coast with hotels and private homes overlooking the calm sea, and many people pick this spot because of the quiet and slightly isolated feel of the town. However, there are a handful of shops such as small boutiques and places selling handcrafted items, as well as laid back coffee shops hidden amongst the trees. There's a wide selection of restaurants available, with seafood eateries the most popular, and you can enjoy freshly caught fish grilled to perfection. The town is also host to an annual oyster festival, although you can enjoy freshly farmed shellfish during the season. How to get to Sunset BeachMyrtle Beach International Airport is about 35 miles from Sunset Beach, and you can pick up a rental car or book a shuttle from the airport to take you to your hotel. There are planes arriving from New York City as well as other major cities across the USA. Wilmington International Airport is also a potential arrival point, with excellent links to major airports, and from here you can hire a car with the drive to Sunset Beach taking just under an hour.

Have lived in Connecticut for about 5 years.
Have vacation Rentals in Palm Springs and also property in Boulder, Co. and Iowa City Iowa for students.
No outstanding warrents at this time.
Timothy Gaffney purchased this house in 1990
Why Timothy Gaffney chose Key West
People stay with us because they like to go down to Duval Street, but don't want to be out till the bars close at 4 AM each nite, or stay next to the bars with music until then.
Very secluded little spot a short walk to the beach. Across from the Nature Preserve, and the Bike Path.
What makes this house unique
The Beach Bungalow is unique because of it's excellent value, as well as location-- a block to the beach.
Guest's receive an intimate bungalow in a great location for the price of an ordinary hotel room.
Those things, plus the quality of design, make the Beach Bungalow a real 'Price Performer', as a friend of mine would say.

Knicks J.R. Smith suspended five games by league for failed drug test
Sep 6, 2013, 2:44 PM EST
J.R. Smith, the Knicks reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, has been suspended by the league for the first five games of the coming NBA season for failing a drug test.
The league made the news official but Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports had the story first, before it was official.
The suspension is for the first five games Smith is able to play, remember he had off-season knee surgery and there are questions about whether he would be ready to go by opening night. Whenever he is able to come back, that is when the suspension starts.
Five games is the telltale suspension for having tested positive for marijuana use three times in the annual league drug tests. League policy dictates that the first two times a player tests positive he is sent for treatment but there are no fines or suspensions, and nothing is made public. On the third positive test you get a five game suspension.
Smith is a key cog in the Knicks offense, having averaged 18.1 points a game last season. That helped lead to him getting a new three-year, $18 million contract this summer.
Smith has been suspended before: 10 games for a 2006 brawl between the Knicks and Nuggets, seven games in 2007 for his role in an auto accident that left a person dead (he got a 90 day prison sentence with that one, also), and three games for a 2007 nightclub incident.

Josh T. Pearson
Last of the Country Gentlemen
Need to know: Pearson is a Texas born and bred musician who formed the band Lift to Experience in the late '90s. That band went on to record an EP before they were discovered at South By Southwest by Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins; the latter signed them to his label, Bella Union. Lift to Experience released their only album, an epic double LP of country-tinged space rock titled The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads that has been described as "a ten-gallon prog-emo Biblical concept album about the Texan apocalypse." After the band broke up in the early '00s, Pearson went solo, performed the odd gig and recorded sparsely before relocating to Paris. He recorded his first album, Last of the Country Gentlemen, in Berlin and signed to Mute.
Via Twitter: If L2E's Crossroads brought on the apocalypse, Pearson's solo LP is a beautiful set of stark, whiskey-soaked ballads for the morning after.
Sample: "Woman When I Raise Hell"
