It will be interesting to see how these new ones go over.

"I absolutely LOVE this card, the quality is great and the colors are vibrant. Unfortunately I was in such a hurry to order that I didn't realize I had a spelling mistake :("
"I used a black and white photo, gold foil and a red background behind the Merry Christmas, with a pearl paper. The result is striking! I'm very happy with the result. I am looking forward to sending out my cards this year!"
"Not only am I delighted with the finished product, but pleasantly surprised by the awesome customer service - I felt I was communicating with people who cared -- vs. automated, impersonal systems."
"We looked at several different companies, but settled on Tiny Prints due largely to the fact they had the greatest number of religious (46) cards. After all it's the Magic (St Nicholas) AND the Miracle (birth of Christ) of Christmas. The cards arrived in a week and were exactly what we ordered. We will use again every year for sure. Thanks TP you are great!"
"These were beautiful! Just as we ordered! I can't wait to send them out to family and friends. It's a very classy design. We went with the gold envelopes and the matching return labels and the whole package looks amazing. Thanks!"

Question & Answers
Getting Cargo Reward
I am totally confused on how to get rewards for my cargo shipments. I load enough items into the boat until I get a green check mark for each item. My boat loads in the middle of the night for me so not sure if it does anything then but when I get up and check, I have no additional money, no diamonds, no nothing. Just another cargo order to fill. I am getting totally frustrated. There are two boxes for each item with a number of items per box. Do I have to fill both? When I just fill one, it shows a green check box's so I assume it is completed. I have filled to cargo ships now up to the point that I have a green check mark for each and nothing. I also have no clue what the "Ask for Help" is for??? I click it and it turns the box green with a ! inside but I have no idea what that means. So frustrated I have quit playing this game.
Answer from: shum
If all the orders in the boat are filled click the boat sign at the bottom right..that boat will go and u will get any voucher and coins for each box u filled..then next boat will arrive in few hours.. ask for help" means u can ask other people for help to fill your order.. they will be rewarded for that even if u will go to other's farm n u see boat orders with ! sign..u can help their boat n u will b rewarded..
Answer from: Chum
Slimpickens, having the green tick appear doesn't mean you have fulfilled the order. When the tick appears you need to tap on it to fill that particular crate. So if you have 2 crates that want 10 carrots each, you'll need 20 carrots to fill both the crates. It's not enough to just get a tick on the box. By tapping the tick it will fill the box and you'll get the money and stars. And once all crates are filled the ship button in the corner will light up meaning you can send the shipment off, you just tap on it and away it goes.
Answer from: Sour of
Before your boat co comes click on the rocks and it will tell you what you need so make as much of the stuff i tells you and you could finish your boat orders really fast!

Minister Michel Pharaon attends an eventt to launch maritime tourism season in Jounieh on Saturday May 10, 2014. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Tourism Minister Michel Pharaon announced Saturday the start of the seaside tourism season from the coastal city of Jounieh, north of Beirut.
During the event, which was held at the Bel Azur Hotel in Jounieh, the minister said the improvement witnessed in Lebanon's security is encouraging Gulf tourists to come back to Lebanon.
"We have witnessed improvement in the number of tourists arriving in the past few days and are ready to receive them," he said.
"Gulf tourists are now ready to come back to Lebanon," he added.
Lebanon's tourism sector declined over the past several years due to local and regional instability. Gulf countries had issued travel advisories warning their citizens against visiting Lebanon.
Pharaon estimated the decline in the number of tourists between 2010 and 2013 to be nearly 700,000 visitors.
"The number of tourists in Lebanon in 2010 exceeded 2 million visitors, while we only had about a 1.3 million visitors in 2013," he said.
The event, attended by several officials and dignitaries, saw the graduation of a new batch of life guards.
The minister said the clean safety record of Lebanon's resorts was thanks to their owners, and indicated that the Lebanese tourism sector was up to international standards.

'Jurassic Park' Soundtrack Resurrected on Dino-Colored Vinyl
Calling Jurassic Park fans and pop culture lovers: The remastered score will be available on vinyl starting June 11.
Calling Jurassic Park fans and pop culture lovers: The remastered score will be available on vinyl starting June 11.
Microsoft has reportedly been secretly developing another Halo live-action digital feature project -- separate from the series Steven Spielberg has been producing for Xbox One -- that's expected to debut sometime this year.
The 1993 flick that terrorized a generation will continue its legacy in a fourth installment: Jurassic World. If all goes according to plan, Jurassic Park fans can watch the next chapter of the epic series when it hits screens on June 12, 2015, in glorious 3D. Director Colin Trevorrow will team up with Steven Spielberg, who will act as producer. Universal tweeted the news along with a photo of the classic logo in silver and blue with the new title.
What's more terrifying than a mob of angry cloned dinosaurs chasing you through a theme park? A horde of angry cloned dinosaurs with Jedi powers chasing you through a galaxy far, far away. Slackstory has combined two classics of epic proportions in this mashup that pits Star Wars' Rebel Alliance against an Empire of a wholly different kind -- the prehistoric era (yes, before even lightsabers existed).
The first trailer for Steven Spielberg's Lincoln will debut in a Google+ Hangout on Thursday, Sep. 13. This will be the first time that a film trailer has launched in a Google+ Hangout. In addition to the trailer, director Steven Spielberg and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will partake in a live chat about the film. The hangout will be broadcast live online and via the ABC SuperSign in Times Square in New York City.

Chester Attractions
Get in touch
Book a Chester hotel to admire its medieval and Roman city walls, Victorian half-timbered shopping streets and glorious riverside parks.
Historic Chester
You can walk the two-mile perimeter of Old Chester along its walls, the most intact in Britain. After dark, watch out for a Welshman – an ancient bylaw allows you to shoot him if he's in the city after sunset. We advise against this. Medieval, Norman, Tudor and Victorian buildings dot this tourist-soaked city. Absorb its antiquity in a Chester Cathedral pew as a choir floats Handel's Messiah round the Norman arches.
Art and museums in Chester
Defend the city walls with your shield and get shouted at by a centurion at the Dewa Roman Experience. You'll get a grip on the city's 2,000-year history at the Grosvenor Museum with tons of relics detailing life within the walls.
Quirky things to do in Chester
See if you can spot the 13th-century coffin, "Dust to Dust" inscribed upon it, tucked into an arch in the ruins of the Norman St John the Baptist Church. Then head to Grosvenor Park next door for a stroll and a cruise along the Dee.
Events in Chester
Chester Folk Festival in May brings a mellow music crowd to the city. Dating from the 1400s, the Winter Watch Parade in December lights up the streets with fire-breathers, devils, angels and the Lord of Misrule.

Cleveland Plain Dealer "The Indians haven't shown a lot of interest in Justin Masterson outside of some early contact at the start of the free agent season. That doesn't mean their former ace will be a stranger come next season. Masterson, 30, has received inquiries from the four other teams in the AL Central –..." November 28
Fox Sports North "New Twins manager Paul Molitor's coaching staff is three steps closer to being complete. The team announced Tuesday that it has hired Neil Allen as the pitching coach, former Twins closer Eddie Guardado as bullpen coach and Joe Vavra as the bench coach. That leaves just one coaching position..." November 25
Hardball Talk "Anthony Swarzak was due for a raise to around $1.5 million via arbitration, but the Twins have decided to drop him from the 40-man roster rather than keeping him around for 2015. Swarzak can soak up innings in a long-relief role, but he doesn't throw hard, miss bats, or have great control. " November 25
ESPN.com "Josh Willingham is retiring from baseball after an 11-year major league career, the outfielder told ESPN.com on Monday. Willingham, 35, hit .253 with 195 home runs during a career that included stints with the Florida Marlins, Washington Nationals, Oakland Athletics, Minnesota Twins and Kansas..." November 24
Hardball Talk "Rays Triple-A pitching coach Neil Allen beat out longtime MLB pitching coach and former Twins reliever Carl Willis to become Minnesota's new pitching coach.

St. Paul Pioneer Press "Free-agent outfielder Torii Hunter told the Pioneer Press on Saturday that he favors the Twins among teams with which he is considering signing and that he could make a decision in a week or so.

Wily Mo Pena had .830 OPS, 32 HR, 90 RBI in 572 PA for Orix in 2014. Turns 33 in January. Interest in #MNTwins is reciprocal, source says.
Hardball Talk "Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the Twins have won the bidding for Korean left-hander Hyeon-jong Yang, who was posted by the Kia Tigers three weeks ago. Yang won the Korean equivalent of the Cy Young award this season and the 26-year-old tops out at 92-95 miles per..." November 22
The #MNTwins have inquired about Masterson, I'm told. Sure, they're checking in on OFs, but finding a starter or two is the top priority.
CBSSports.com "The 2014 Arizona Fall League season came to end on Saturday with the Championship Game. Thanks to a huge game from Twins prospect Eddie Rosario, the Salt River Rafters beat the Peoria Javelinas by the score of 14-7 to win the league title. Here's the box score.

Nor do rival teams expect #MNTwins to non-tender or deal LHP Tommy Milone (est. $2.8 arb number). He's penciled into 2015 rotation.
Hardball Talk "Ron Gardenhire is gone as manager, but at least one of his coaches will stick around and be on new manager Paul Molitor's staff, as the Twins announced that Tom Brunansky will return as hitting coach. There's probably an argument to be made for simply cleaning house completely, although going..." November 06
I'm told #MNTwins do have some interest in Torii Hunter reunion, but he would have to take a MAJOR pay cut for it to happen.
Sporting News "Major League Baseball's Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners for 2014 were announced Tuesday night. Voting was done by MLB managers and coaches before the end of the regular season. Three American League squad was dominated by the Royals and Orioles, who met in the ALCS. Kansas City placed Alex..." November 05

Can confirm #MNTwins prospect Byron Buxton underwent surgery on his left middle finger yesterday. He should be ready for Spring Training.
Per colleague @1500ESPN_Reusse: Molitor, as expected, will be the choice of the #MNTwins. Sort of figured news would leak this weekend.
Minneapolis Star Tribune "Joe Maddon might be on the verge of becoming the next manager of the Chicago Cubs, but he was briefly on the Twins' radar. The Twins, indeed, reached out to the Maddon camp after he became a free agent Friday, according to two sources with knowledge of the Twins' search. It's not clear how..." October 30
CBSSports.com "One thing we've seen this postseason is a lot of velocity. Lots.

October 29
Hearing Byron Buxton dislocated a finger today while diving for a ball during Arizona Fall League. Will post something soon.
The Hubbard team (Ch. 5/1500-ESPN) also hearing Maddon is not in the #MNTwins mix. I expect a hiring before week is done: Molly or Lovullo.
Terry Ryan confirmed Miguel Sano will not play winter ball in DR. No setbacks post-TJ, but "doctors do not want him to play."

Hardball Talk "Minnesota has declined right-hander Jared Burton's option for 2015, choosing to pay the 33-year-old reliever a $200,000 buyout rather than a $3.6 million salary. Not so long ago that option looked like it might be a bargain, as Burton went from scrap-heap pickup to one of the league's best..." October 22
Looks like it's Molitor, Mientkiewicz and Lovullo left for the Twins job
Doesn't sound like Terry Ryan is expected to offer Paul Molitor the mgr job just yet. More due diligence remains. #MNTwins
Possible sign #MNTwins are getting closer to naming a manager: source tells me Joe McEwing is out of the mix.
Minneapolis Star Tribune "The Twins' original timetable may have envisioned Miguel Sano as the team's starting third baseman next April, but Tommy John surgery and a lost 2014 season changed all that. Sano won't be in Minneapolis next April, General Manager Terry Ryan told season-ticket holders on Wednesday, and when he..." October 09

Minneapolis Star Tribune "Ron Gardenhire, who had managed the Twins since 2002, was dismissed Monday with a year remaining on a two-year deal he signed last season.

Minneapolis Star Tribune "It's getting ugly here in Comerica Park. The games are blowouts, the fans are booing, and one team looks like it cannot wait for the 2014 season to end.

Minneapolis Star Tribune "The announced 35,178 who showed up at Comerica Park on Friday night didn't get to do the celebrating they had hoped for.

"Arnosky's painterly eye and personal observations match handsomely in this face-to-face experience. The slim volume presents-head-on-life-size deptictions of a plethora of scaly or otherwise armored critters, along with a nice selection of data included in the conversational text. Neat foldouts of a passel of snakes, an American crocodile (with an infant perched on his nose), a skitter of lizards, and the heads of a variety of sea turtles add an interactive touch to the artist's outstanding acrylics. Even libraries that have titles in Arnosky's "All About" series (Scholastic) will want to add this handsome, informative book to their slithery collections." —School Library Journal (Starred Review)
"Youngsters can examine beautiful and very detailed illustrations of different types of reptiles while they learn why these creatures differ and compare with other animals. The book presents facts about snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodiles, and alligators, especially their size, eating habits, habitats, natural predators, and prey. The book also answers the question of 'Where do reptiles go in winter?' An Author's Note describes how Arnosky safely observes reptiles. It also offers a further reading list and a metric equivalent chart for readers not familiar with American measurement systems. Arnosky's love of nature is contagious and spills across the pages. Because of its comprehensive coverage, this book is valuable for both and school and public libraries." —Library Media Connection

The Oakland Police Department received a donation which will allow their helicopter to spend more time in the air. Chief of Police Howard Jordan said a $10,000 donation from nonprofit group Fueling California is "a great day for the city of Oakland" because the helicopter is "a force multiplier that helps us respond to calls quicker."
Television station KTVU reports that Lt. Michael Poirier said the annual funding from the Oakland City Council was $350,000 a year but the 2009 budget cuts lowered that amount to less than $100,000. He added the helicopter flew 1,000 hours in 2008 before the cuts but only 200 hours last year. The donation will provide for an additional 80 hours this year. He added that while the aircraft is "a very expensive piece of equipment but very necessary" it contributed to several hundred arrests when fully funded in 2008.
United Parcel Service VP Bruce Mac Rae who sits on Fueling California's board called for local businesses to provide additional donations to help keep the aircraft flying. "If we all band together we can keep that bird up in the sky to protect us," Mac Rae said.
The helicopter flew almost 50 hours during the recent Occupy Oakland protests and is "a godsend to commanders on the ground" according to Lt. Poirier.

|A Geometric Approach to Voiculescu-Brown Entropy
A basic problem in dynamics is to identify systems with positive entropy, i.e., systems which are ``chaotic.'' While there is a vast collection of results addressing this issue in topological dynamics, the phenomenon of positive entropy remains by and large a mystery within the broader noncommutative domain of $C^*$-algebraic dynamics. To shed some light on the noncommutative situation we propose a geometric perspective inspired by work of Glasner and Weiss on topological entropy. This is a written version of the author's talk at the Winter 2002 Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society in Ottawa, Ontario.

|Biprojectivity and Biflatness for Convolution Algebras of Nuclear Operators
For a locally compact group $G$, the convolution product on the space $\nN(L^p(G))$ of nuclear operators was defined by Neufang \cite{Neuf_PhD}. We study homological properties of the convolution algebra $\nN(L^p(G))$ and relate them to some properties of the group $G$, such as compactness, finiteness, discreteness, and amenability.

|On Universal Schauder Bases in Non-Archimedean Fréchet Spaces
It is known that any non-archimedean Fr\'echet space of countable type is isomorphic to a subspace of $c_0^{\mathbb{N}}$. In this paper we prove that there exists a non-archimedean Fr\'echet space $U$ with a basis $(u_n)$ such that any basis $(x_n)$ in a non-archimedean Fr\'echet space $X$ is equivalent to a subbasis $(u_{k_n})$ of $(u_n)$. Then any non-archimedean Fr\'echet space with a basis is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of $U$. In contrast to this, we show that a non-archimedean Fr\'echet space $X$ with a basis $(x_n)$ is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of $c_0^{\mathbb{N}}$ if and only if $X$ is isomorphic to one of the following spaces: $c_0$, $c_0 \times \mathbb{K}^{\mathbb{N}}$, $\mathbb{K}^{\mathbb{N}}$, $c_0^{\mathbb{N}}$. Finally, we prove that there is no nuclear non-archimedean Fr\'echet space $H$ with a basis $(h_n)$ such that any basis $(y_n)$ in a nuclear non-archimedean Fr\'echet space $Y$ is equivalent to a subbasis $(h_{k_n})$ of $(h_n)$.

|On the Composition of Differentiable Functions
We prove that a Banach space $X$ has the Schur property if and only if every $X$-valued weakly differentiable function is Fr\'echet differentiable. We give a general result on the Fr\'echet differentiability of $f\circ T$, where $f$ is a Lipschitz function and $T$ is a compact linear operator. Finally we study, using in particular a smooth variational principle, the differentiability of the semi norm $\Vert \ \Vert_{\lip}$ on various spaces of Lipschitz functions.

|Weakly Stable Relations and Inductive Limits of $C^\ast$-algebras
We show that if $\mathcal{A}$ is a class of $C^\ast$-algebras for which the set of formal relations $\mathcal{R}$ is weakly stable, then $\mathcal{R}$ is weakly stable for the class $\mathcal{B}$ that contains $\mathcal{A}$ and all the inductive limits that can be constructed with the $C^\ast$-algebras in $\mathcal{A}$. A set of formal relations $\mathcal{R}$ is said to be {\it weakly stable\/} for a class $\mathcal{C}$ of $C^\ast$-algebras if, in any $C^\ast$-algebra $A\in \mathcal{C}$, close to an approximate representation of the set $\mathcal{R}$ in $A$ there is an exact representation of $\mathcal{R}$ in $A$.

|Optimization of Polynomial Functions
This paper develops a refinement of Lasserre's algorithm for optimizing a polynomial on a basic closed semialgebraic set via semidefinite programming and addresses an open question concerning the duality gap. It is shown that, under certain natural stability assumptions, the problem of optimization on a basic closed set reduces to the compact case.

|Subdifferentials Whose Graphs Are Not Norm$\times$Weak* Closed
In this note we give examples of convex functions whose subdifferentials have unpleasant properties. Particularly, we exhibit a proper lower semicontinuous convex function on a separable Hilbert space such that the graph of its subdifferential is not closed in the product of the norm and bounded weak topologies. We also exhibit a set whose sequential normal cone is not norm closed.

|Symmetries of Kirchberg Algebras
Let $G_0$ and $G_1$ be countable abelian groups. Let $\gamma_i$ be an automorphism of $G_i$ of order two. Then there exists a unital Kirchberg algebra $A$ satisfying the Universal Coefficient Theorem and with $[1_A] = 0$ in $K_0 (A)$, and an automorphism $\alpha \in \Aut(A)$ of order two, such that $K_0 (A) \cong G_0$, such that $K_1 (A) \cong G_1$, and such that $\alpha_* \colon K_i (A) \to K_i (A)$ is $\gamma_i$. As a consequence, we prove that every $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded countable module over the representation ring $R (\mathbb{Z}_2)$ of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ is isomorphic to the equivariant $K$-theory $K^{\mathbb{Z}_2} (A)$ for some action of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ on a unital Kirchberg algebra~$A$. Along the way, we prove that every not necessarily finitely generated $\mathbb{Z} [\mathbb{Z}_2]$-module which is free as a $\mathbb{Z}$-module has a direct sum decomposition with only three kinds of summands, namely $\mathbb{Z} [\mathbb{Z}_2]$ itself and $\mathbb{Z}$ on which the nontrivial element of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ acts either trivially or by multiplication by $-1$.

|Homogeneity of the Pure State Space of a Separable $C^*$-Algebra

|Strongly Perforated $K_{0}$-Groups of Simple $C^{*}$-Algebras
In the sequel we construct simple, unital, separable, stable, amenable $C^{*}$-algebras for which the ordered $K_{0}$-group is strongly perforated and group isomorphic to $Z$. The particular order structures to be constructed will be described in detail below, and all known results of this type will be generalised.

|An Inductive Limit Model for the $K$-Theory of the Generator-Interchanging Antiautomorphism of an Irrational Rotation Algebra
|An Inductive Limit Model for the $K$-Theory of the Generator-Interchanging Antiautomorphism of an Irrational Rotation Algebra
Let $A_\theta$ be the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by two unitaries $U$, $V$ satisfying $VU=e^{2\pi i\theta} UV$ and let $\Phi$ be the antiautomorphism of $A_\theta$ interchanging $U$ and $V$. The $K$-theory of $R_\theta=\{a\in A_\theta:\Phi(a)=a^*\}$ is computed. When $\theta$ is irrational, an inductive limit of algebras of the form $M_q(C(\mathbb{T})) \oplus M_{q'} (\mathbb{R}) \oplus M_q(\mathbb{R})$ is constructed which has complexification $A_\theta$ and the same $K$-theory as $R_\theta$.

|Tracially Quasidiagonal Extensions
It is known that a unital simple $C^*$-algebra $A$ with tracial topological rank zero has real rank zero. We show in this note that, in general, there are unital $C^*$-algebras with tracial topological rank zero that have real rank other than zero. Let $0\to J\to E\to A\to 0$ be a short exact sequence of $C^*$-algebras. Suppose that $J$ and $A$ have tracial topological rank zero. It is known that $E$ has tracial topological rank zero as a $C^*$-algebra if and only if $E$ is tracially quasidiagonal as an extension. We present an example of a tracially quasidiagonal extension which is not quasidiagonal.

|Euclidean Sections of Direct Sums of Normed Spaces
We study the dimension of ``random'' Euclidean sections of direct sums of normed spaces. We compare the obtained results with results from \cite{LMS}, to show that for the direct sums the standard randomness with respect to the Haar measure on Grassmanian coincides with a much ``weaker'' randomness of ``diagonal'' subspaces (Corollary~\ref{sle} and explanation after). We also add some relative information on ``phase transition''.

|Classification of $\AF$ Flows
An $\AF$ flow is a one-parameter automorphism group of an $\AF$ $C^*$-algebra $A$ such that there exists an increasing sequence of invariant finite dimensional sub-$C^*$-algebras whose union is dense in $A$. In this paper, a classification of $C^*$-dynamical systems of this form up to equivariant isomorphism is presented. Two pictures of the actions are given, one in terms of a modified Bratteli diagram/path-space construction, and one in terms of a modified $K_0$ functor.

|Crossed Products by Semigroups of Endomorphisms and Groups of Partial Automorphisms
We consider a class $(A, S, \alpha)$ of dynamical systems, where $S$ is an Ore semigroup and $\alpha$ is an action such that each $\alpha_s$ is injective and extendible ({\it i.e.} it extends to a non-unital endomorphism of the multiplier algebra), and has range an ideal of $A$. We show that there is a partial action on the fixed-point algebra under the canonical coaction of the enveloping group $G$ of $S$ constructed in \cite[Proposition~6.1]{LR2}. It turns out that the full crossed product by this coaction is isomorphic to $A\rtimes_\alpha S$. If the coaction is moreover normal, then the isomorphism can be extended to include the reduced crossed product. We look then at invariant ideals and finally, at examples of systems where our results apply.
147. CMB 2003 (vol 46 pp. 80)
|Multi-Sided Braid Type Subfactors, II
We show that the multi-sided inclusion $R^{\otimes l} \subset R$ of braid-type subfactors of the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor $R$, introduced in {\it Multi-sided braid type subfactors} [E3], contains a sequence of intermediate subfactors: $R^{\otimes l} \subset R^{\otimes l-1} \subset \cdots \subset R^{\otimes 2} \subset R$. That is, every $t$-sided subfactor is an intermediate subfactor for the inclusion $R^{\otimes l} \subset R$, for $2\leq t\leq l$. Moreover, we also show that if $t>m$ then $R^{\otimes t} \subset R^{\otimes m}$ is conjugate to $R^{\otimes t-m+1} \subset R$. Thus, if the braid representation considered is associated to one of the classical Lie algebras then the asymptotic inclusions for the Jones-Wenzl subfactors are intermediate subfactors.

|$C^{\ast}$-Algebras of Infinite Graphs and Cuntz-Krieger Algebras
The Cuntz-Krieger algebra $\mathcal{O}_B$ is defined for an arbitrary, possibly infinite and infinite valued, matrix $B$. A graph $C^{\ast}$-algebra $G^{\ast} (E)$ is introduced for an arbitrary directed graph $E$, and is shown to coincide with a previously defined graph algebra $C^{\ast} (E)$ if each source of $E$ emits only finitely many edges. Each graph algebra $G^{\ast} (E)$ is isomorphic to the Cuntz-Krieger algebra $\mathcal{O}_B$ where $B$ is the vertex matrix of~$E$.

|On the Smirnov Class Defined by the Maximal Function
H.~O.~Kim has shown that contrary to the case of $H^p$-space, the Smirnov class $M$ defined by the radial maximal function is essentially smaller than the classical Smirnov class of the disk. In the paper we show that these two classes have the same corresponding locally convex structure, {\it i.e.} they have the same dual spaces and the same Fr\'echet envelopes. We describe a general form of a continuous linear functional on $M$ and multiplier from $M$ into $H^p$, $0 < p \leq \infty$.

|Joint Mean Oscillation and Local Ideals in the Toeplitz Algebra II: Local Commutivity and Essential Commutant
|Joint Mean Oscillation and Local Ideals in the Toeplitz Algebra II: Local Commutivity and Essential Commutant
A well-known theorem of Sarason [11] asserts that if $[T_f,T_h]$ is compact for every $h \in H^\infty$, then $f \in H^\infty + C(T)$. Using local analysis in the full Toeplitz algebra $\calT = \calT (L^\infty)$, we show that the membership $f \in H^\infty + C(T)$ can be inferred from the compactness of a much smaller collection of commutators $[T_f,T_h]$. Using this strengthened result and a theorem of Davidson [2], we construct a proper $C^\ast$-subalgebra $\calT (\calL)$ of $\calT$ which has the same essential commutant as that of $\calT$. Thus the image of $\calT (\calL)$ in the Calkin algebra does not satisfy the double commutant relation [12], [1]. We will also show that no {\it separable} subalgebra $\calS$ of $\calT$ is capable of conferring the membership $f \in H^\infty + C(T)$ through the compactness of the commutators $\{[T_f,S] : S \in \calS\}$.

Clean rooms, quiet, comfortable beds and bedding, accommodating and friendly staff, very inexpensive mini-bar/snacks ($1 per snack, $10/bottle champagne), free breakfast included. Was hesitant when booking because I had never heard of hotel, but so happy with my stay! Would highly recommend to anyone!
I was in Chicago for business, but always try to stay at the Willows when I visit town. The hotel is in a convenient location, very friendly staff, it is clean, and the rooms and building are adorable. I had an issue while I was traveling, and they were very accomodating.
I have no complaints about this hotel.
no computer or printer in the lobby for guests to use
Great staff. Very helpful going above and beyond when I lost my purse in a taxi. Very close to our son's apartment and in a "younger" feeling neighborhood. Booked a double queen room and it was very spacious. Pretty flowers in front of hotel.
Lovely area of the city with lots of restaurants nearby. Situated on the local bus routes so easy access into the city.
older decor
Cost and location was prefect for a get away over night trip. Everything we did was within walking distance.
It's an old hotel voices travel clearly through the walls. Any hallway conversations were as if they was in our room.
The Willows was a comfortable hotel, well located in the Lakeview area of the city, close to shops, bars and restaurants. The staff were extremely helpful and the room was a good size with all the amenities you'd expect. It was good to have a "free" breakfast to start the day, but there's no dining room as such - just the front lobby.
Our room was on the ground floor backing on to an alleyway that could be noisy at times. While the Willows was generally good value for money, it was expensive on the Friday of our 4 night stay.
Cheapest overnight parking we've found.
I loved the look of the hotel and the rooms were very nice. That was the comfiest bed I have slept in for a hotel. The staff were very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the location being around the corner from Wal-mart and only 1.5 from Wrigley field.
I didn't like that there was only ice on the first floor.
Good location, near restaurants, friendly staff
Breakfast could be improved with make your own sandwich.
Quiet, and in a good location. Easy to walk to area attractions.
Cost, was high in comparison to amenities. Breakfast was similar to those found in much cheaper hotels.
away from main city quiet and friendly great size rooms
bed & pillows very comfortable loved the shampoo, conditioner, lotion (wish i would have written brand down) good room location. Eric the bellboy very kind and nice. breakfast options good
counter people did enough to get by but didn't go out of way. air conditioner making loud sound after we were unpacked & settled after 4 hr drive but when called desk at 4:45 woman said had to move or get maintenance before 5 since they all leave then. were tired so just had to keep windows open. at least had a breeze. location to wrigley and area good. drunk man was laying passed out 10 feet from entrance on sidewalk. refridge did not work
Location, staff, quiet atmosphere
small rooms, no closet and the bathroom window was broken so it did not keep out the heat and some of the outside noise
Small. Hotel friendly helpful staff. Great location. Close to restaurants .public transport for downtown about 15 min close to lake .free breakfast. Wifi. And tea and coffee
To be honest. Only leaving. After. 14 days
No microwave No refrigerator except for minibar
Everything, including the outstanding staff!!!
The staff was awesome, close to Wrigley Field, the breakfast was great.
21.00 for parking in a garage around the corner.
The website said there was 24 hour parking included but when we arrived we were informed that there is only 15 parking passes available, the website did not say that. There were no passes left when we arrived.
It's position and Ben was extremely helpful and welcoming. It was lovely to be always welcomed back after a long day out!
Our room was a little noisy, as the bedroom wall was against the stairs.
Location & expertise of the staff on hand
Ben the bell-hop was amazingly helpful
Room was dark, not entirely clean. Breakfast was just adequate. Too much money for what we got.
