News from the world of Maths

One advantage of the UK voting system is that nobody could possibly fail to understand how it works. However, the disadvantages are well-known. Differently sized constituencies mean that the party in government doesn't necessarily have the largest share of the vote. The first-past-the-post system turns the election into a two-horse race, which leaves swathes of the population un-represented, forces tactical voting, and turns election campaigns into mud-slinging contests. There are many alternative voting systems, but is there a perfect one? The answer, in a mathematical sense, is no. |

Lack of statistical detail leads to wrong conclusions |
March 3, 2010
How do you judge the risks and benefits of new medical treatments, or of lifestyle choices? With a finite health care budget, how do you decide which treatments should be made freely available on the NHS? Historically, decisions like these have been made on the basis of doctors' individual experiences with how these treatments perform, but over recent decades the approach to answering thesequestions has become increasingly rational. Statistics and maths are used not just to test new treatments, but also to measure such fuzzy terms as quality of life, and to figure out which treatments provide most "health for money". |

Street Dances With Screen Smarts (Part 1 of 3)
Encompassing a multitude of urban dance forms from breaking to crumping, and from popping to jerking, street dance is a thriving movement with both a strong amateur community and a robust industry of professional artists. Since the launch of social media and web video technology, street dance has had an artistic renaissance. No longer relegated to local street corners and individual club scenes, street dancers have fully exploited new media outlets to share their moves with a global community eager to see and learn more.
In this three part series we will discuss:
- The artistic effects of media sharing on the development of street dance forms.
- How media sharing is changing the value proposition of street dance.
- What the concert dance world can learn from street dance in the video age.
Pt 1: The artistic effects of media sharing on the development of street dance forms
In October 2009 a crew of young Oakland street dancers uploaded a video on YouTube that showed four of them meeting on a street corner in the rain. The music was solemn and reverential, and their moves were graceful and emotional. Unlike most street dances, these dancers weren't battling it out, instead they were paying tribute to a brother who had died on that street corner, and expressing their grief the way they knew best, by dancing. Unbeknownst to them, this video would put these artists on the international map and set the course of their careers.
The crew is TURF FEINZ, and they were filmed by their long time friends and collaborators, the Oakland-based video production company, YAK FILMS. Within a few weeks the video had gone viral in Europe, spreading from Germany to France, then to Brazil, Russia, and Denmark. Ten months later, the video took off stateside and today it stands at 3 million hits and counting. YAK FILMS have gone on to produce a weekly video series cataloging the street dance from around the world, and TURF FEINZ now has their own internationally recognized dance style called Turfing. Among other things, YAK FILMS puts out a very popular series of street dance tutorials taught by rising talents. Here is one on how to do the wave taught by Chonkie from TURF FEINZ.
In street dance, the goal is to be seen as the biggest, baddest dancer out there. One of the ways to do that is to coin a new move or a unique style that everyone tries to copy. Street dance choreography is generally made in a competitive environment, with dancers literally battling each other. The more their moves are copied, the better bragging rights the originator has. As moves get copied, each imitator tries to put their own stamp on the choreography, resulting in many mutations and variations on the original. With the advent of YouTube and online video sharing, this evolutionary process has gone into overdrive. Now a single video can be seen by millions of viewers worldwide in a matter of days or hours. When a street dance video goes viral, the choreography will be copied by hundreds if not thousands of other dancers and tweaked each time. These imitators will post their own videos online, and if even a couple of these go viral again, it starts a new wave of mutations. In this way, street dance forms are evolving at a breakneck speed. If an evolutionary biologist were to study street dance, they would be astounded at the rate of new moves, genres, and styles being made all the time. The developments in this form are growing at an exponential pace. As a result more has happened in street dance in the past five years than in the 30 years prior.
Chris Anderson, the curator of TED conferences, mentioned the phenomenal growth of street dance in his TEDtalk "How web video powers global innovation." Anderson presented his theory of "Crowd Accelerated Innovation" to explain the rapid evolution occurring in many cultural and scientific sectors today. The way street dance spreads is a perfect illustration of the three components that make up "Crowd Accelerated Innovation." First you need a CROWD of people that share a common interest, then LIGHT or clarity need to be shed on the crowd so that they can all see each other, and lastly you need the DESIRE to excel. Street dance was already a global movement when YouTube appeared, but the light that web video was able to shed on dancers everywhere from rural villages to inner city street corners enabled dancers to reach for greater recognition and influence on a scale never possible before. Anderson says that "Crowd Accelerated Innovation" is a kind of positive feedback loop where the more light that gets shed on the street dance movement, the more people desire to become dance stars in their own right and join the ranks of the crowd.
Jon M. Chu, filmmaker and creator of the popular web series, The LXD (The Legion of eXtraordinary Dancers) spoke of the new renaissance happening in street dance in his TED talk by saying, "Dance has never had a better friend than technology…Dancers have created a whole global laboratory online. Kids in Japan are taking moves from a YouTube video created in Detroit, building on it within days and releasing a new video, while teenagers in California are taking the Japanese video and remixing it to create a whole new dance style." Chu speaks from experience as the director of the blockbuster hit movie, Step Up 2: The Streets and his latest success with The LXD, that was cast entirely through YouTube audition videos. Chu believes that what is happening right now in the "underground" street dance community will resurrect the popularity of dance to its status during the Golden Age of movie musicals. Once again kids will grow up with dance heros like past generations had with Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Michael Jackson.
What is immediately apparent when watching TURF FEINZ's video is that the dancers are well versed in many dance techniques including ballet, jazz, and modern, as well as street dance forms like breaking and locking. In an interview for the Bay Citizen, YAK FILMS director, Yoram Savion said that YouTube has been important in the development of TURF's signature style. "The dancers would come to my office and watch YouTube videos," Savion said. "They'd watch everything. Once we even saw a random video of 1950s jazz dancing in Chicago that the dancers would incorporate into TURF."
As street dance continues to garner devoted fans on YouTube, and new moves spread like wildfire across the internet, big media industries are taking note of it's rising popularity. Street dance professionals are finding plenty of demand for their work, and an entire indie dance/film industry is rising up around the culture. YAK FILMS is an example of how one production company got its start by specializing in urban street dance. In the next segment of this series, we'll examine how the video age is effecting the commercial potential for street dance giving it an economic edge over other many other dance forms.

As well as crossing England's infamous North/South divide on a weekly basis, I have also come into contact with some very high-level customizations both within and outside of the SYSPRO system - some good, some bad. This has lead me to ponder how best to connect all of these technologies to work in the most effective way. The technologies I've come into contact with on my travels can be summarized as follows:

Masahiro Tanaka's negotiating window is nearly closed. The new posting system allows Tanaka to sign with any team, not just the daring club that ponied up the most money for a bid.
Tanaka and his agent Casey Close recently met with a handful of big league clubs, shaking hands and listening to impassioned speeches regarding the future of Club X. There are the obvious favorites yet nobody really knows where he'll go. Except me.
Using the powers of deduction, both journalism and Journalism, savvy, mathematics, and no small amount of telepathy, I know where Tanaka signs. Or he is most likely to sign.

The Short Sisters take uNi Coffeehouse stage |
SPRINGFIELD On Nov. 10, uNi Coffeehouse Concert Series will present The Short Sisters harmony trio.
The concert will take place at Unitarian Universalist Society Meetinghouse, 245 Porter Lake Drive. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. and the concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. The Short Sisters is the name chosen by the acclaimed harmony trio of Kate Seeger, Kim Wallach, and Fay Baird. Though neither particularly short nor sisters, they do have short first names and do often sound like famous "sisters" harmony trios of the past. Like those trios, they do amazing unaccompanied arrangements but also add plenty of acoustic guitar, autoharp and banjo for a diverse mix of music. Seeger (a niece of Pete Seeger) lives in Massachusetts; Wallach, (well known songwriter) lives in New Hampshire; and Baird (banjo player and ringleader) lives in Florida. On those special occasions when the three reunite to share the joy of singing together, their fans too travel from far and near to bask in the sheer musical joy and great fun of a Short Sisters concert. Their songs range from funny to moving, thought-provoking to frivolous, from American, African-American and British traditions plus contemporary songwriters. There are even intricate rounds, musical curiosities, chorus songs, ballads, and Sacred Harp songs. Since 1979 The Short Sisters have pleased audiences from New England to Florida to California and on their five recordings. Their playfulness and pleasure in each other's company leave listeners energized and cheered. For more information or for reservations, call 562-3990 or visit uNiCoffeehouse.org. The cost is $15 at the door |

Earth's Core Hottest Layer
Name: Alfred Status: Grade: 6-8 Location: FL Country: USA Date: Spring 2011
Why is the inner core the hottest layer? How is that possible?
There are two factors causing the center of the Earth hotter than various layers of the Earth's. First, the more dense is the layer. The denser layer, the hotter it will be. In addition, the source of the heating is due to heat produced by nuclear decay. These substances tend to be more dense than lower dense substances. So the source of heat (temperature) is higher, the greater will be the temperature.
Having said all that, the reasons are rather more complicated in the "real" Earth. If the inner layers were less dense they would rise (bubble) to the "surface" leaving the inner layers more dense and thus hotter layers.
Vince Calder
The inner core of the Earth is the hottest because of the enormous amount of pressure.
You can try an experiment at home to prove that pressure will raise the temperature of an object. You'll probably want to wear gloves so that you do not hurt your fingers and have a parent help you out. Take a very thin wire, or possibly some dental floss. Next, get an ice cube out and then try pull the wire through the ice cube. Putting the ice cube on the edge of a counter might work best so that you have room on the sides of the ice cube to be able to pull down. What you should see is that putting the pressure on the ice cube will melt the ice around where the wire is. If you keep at this, you can eventually pull the wire into the middle of the ice cube and have the section above the wire refreeze so that the wire is going right through the middle of the ice cube!
Now, think about how much pressure there must be in the core of the Earth given the weight of all of the dirt and rock on top of it. The center of the Earth is made of iron and it is so hot, in fact, that the iron is liquid!
Matt Voss
The temperature of the inner core of the Earth is believed to be due to radioactive decay of radioactive elements. Plus the gravitational attraction of the heavier, that is more dense, elements. So the source of heat is the center of Earth (more or less). These sources combined, are much hotter than the surrounding upper, and less dense, layers of Earth's makeup. That is why volcanoes give us a glimpse of what is "going on" deep in Earth's makeup.

Saw other posts about Mantis Tillers. I've had one for about 5 years. It's a piece of garbage. It tills the soil ok if you can get it to start. I've done everything right for maintenance with it but it doesn't matter. I take it to the lawn and garden shop for a tune up every year-it still won't start more than once. If you get it to start and use it a while-then shut it off and try to start it again forget it. I'm sorry I wasted my money on it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sandiegojc, sorry to hear of your bad experience with Mantis. Generally, they are reliable machines. If you have the 2-cycle engine (the one that requires you to mix oil into the gasoline), I suggest that you remove the muffler and scrape away all the build-up, then re-install the muffler. That build-up is a fairly common problem with 2-cycle engines, and clearing it away frequently fixes the problem. |
My Electric mantis starts right up, don't smoke, and real quiet. Only have to take the tines off every now and then and clean-up the shafts. It has three speeds, but I hardly ever get it out of first gear. Has far more torque than those nasty gas models. Runs just fine off 100 foot extension cord.... I had real old two stroke model with the echo engine and I got tired of doing the same things you did. So I got ride of it on #raigs listers. had lots of calls and had no problem dumping it for the electric Jim Dandy.... |
I inherited a 2 stroke Mantis. It is about 10 years old and runs fine. It is great in my raised beds. I run it just like my old saw. Blip the throttle and run it wide open |
2 cycle Mantis use the 21cc engine made famous by Echo. It has been the work horse for years in commercial environment. Reliability is beyond compare. If you have problem, chances are high that you don't know what you are doing. Particularly if you had it serviced many times. When you cold start, prime the bulb 7 to 8 times, close the choke all the way, don't touch the throttle and just pull. When it starts, quickly open the choke all the way, don't even touch the throttle. You monkey with the throttle while trying to start it, the engine can get into a stubborn mode and you are going to have a hell of a time starting it. Just follow my instruction. |
I forgot to mention, sometimes when you pull, it tries to start but stop. In this case, open the choke all the way and pull, it almost always starts on the next pull. Remember never touch the throttle throughout the whole process. You touch the throttle, that's when you get into big problem. The engine never start on the first or second pull, usually like 4 to 5 pulls, never beyond. The method I described in starting works for Honda, Echo, Maruyama, Shindaiwa that I have. I never have to alter from this all these years. Remember, don't touch the throttle. |

G.O.O.D. Music's Pusha T went on Hot 97 last night to chat with Funkmaster Flex, and during their discussion he revealed that the G.O.O.D. Music collaborative album is called Cruel Summer — which was also the name of the film Kanye showed at Cannes — and that it's out 8/7. He also said he and Clipse partner No Malice (formerly Malice) will put out a new record at some point. Hear the interview at Complex. Up top is the seven-screen pavilion OMA built to screen Cruel Summer, if you're looking for some kind of visual representation of what the album might sound like. Or, you can just listen to "Mercy" again.

Before this NBA season began, Nielsen and E-Poll Market Research conducted a survey on Forbes.com to ask people which NBA player they dislike the most. You might have expected LeBron James to win that survey, but he finished second. Must have been Kobe Bryant then, right? Nope, third. When the results were released on December 22, the most disliked player in the NBA was revealed to be… Kris Humphries?
Yep, the former Mr. Kim Kardashian was voted to be the most hated on out of all those who say they get hated on. What exactly did he do to draw this ire, aside from being a bit of a black hole when he gets the ball? He participated in a popular reality show and a brief but highly publicized marriage that I'm confident he didn't know was a sham. Hell, I'm confident he doesn't know what city he's in sometimes — I don't think Kris is particularly bright.
I never watched the reality show that Kris was a part of — I think it was Kourtney and Kim Take New York, but I don't really keep up on these things — but my wife did and she swears that the worst thing you could say about him is that he seems a little dim. As a Raptors fan who watched him play for my team for three years, I already knew this. I certainly never hated the guy for it. In fact, I was bummed out when he was traded to the Mavericks and I predicted he'd break out at some point if he finally got some playing time. That turned out to be one of my rare basketball predictions that actually came true.
Why am I bringing up this survey now? Because the ugliness of player-hating reared its head again last week when TMZ reported that Allen Iverson's earnings would be garnished to pay off an $850,000 debt he owed to a jewelry store. Predictably, the haters started chirping on Facebook, Twitter and message boards about how Iverson was destined to go broke and how it would serve him right.
Now we all know haters don't like to do research to back up their hatin' — that would take away from valuable hatin' time. But a quick Google search about Iverson's finances revealed that he earned $150 million in his NBA career, at least $100 milion in endorsement deals, and he has a deal with Reebok that pays him $5 million a year for the rest of his life. You read that right — for the rest of his damn (and possibly damned) life. I don't know guys, I think he's gonna be OK on the cash money front.
Player-hating isn't new, but it seems to be more prevalent now than it's ever been, and I don't like it. Don't get it twisted — I'm perfectly fine with hating a player for what he does on the court. Bruce Bowen used to send me into hard orbit on a regular basis with his dirty defensive antics that included sliding his foot under a jumpshooter so he would twist his ankle on the way down. And I assume I don't have to explain why Kevin Garnett is my least favorite active NBA player. It also goes without saying that I would have loved both those guys if and when they played for my Raptors.
That's how NBA fans are supposed to hate. Lakers fans hate the Celtics and vice versa. Cavaliers fans hate LeBron James and the Heat for reasons we're not likely to forget anytime soon. Magic fans hate their General Manager, Otis Smith. These are all perfectly acceptable forms of NBA hate. But hating Kris Humphries because he was momentarily a part of that Kardashian traveshamockery? That ain't cool. Lamar Odom managed to crack the top 10 of that most-hated list presumably because of his association with America's royal-pain-in-the-ass family.
I'd like to propose that we, as a group representing many of the more intelligent and sophisticated NBA fans — I'm referring to the lovely people reading this post — start a campaign to squash senseless player-hating in the NBA. If you're at a game with a friend and he starts booing Kris Humphries when he comes on the floor, tell him to hush up and remind him that he almost certainly would have done the same thing Kris did if the opportunity presented itself. I'm going to assume that most female fans aren't going to boo Kris because they actually watched the show and therefore know that he's mostly just a harmless lunkhead.
While we're at it, isn't it time to move on from believing that LeBron James is the devil? Yeah, "The Decision" was a bad idea. We've all agreed on that. But that was a year-and-a-half ago. Can we get over it and admit that he's one of the most awe-inspiring players to ever set foot on a basketball court? I'm not saying you have to root for him or that you should even be fine with the Heat winning a championship. But the vitriol he continues to receive from so many fans is now pre-marinated in lamesauce. Note: Cavs fans are allowed to continue to hate LeBron until he sheds his mortal coil.
No movement can gain any traction without a good slogan, and I've got one. From now on, when you encounter a player-hater who judges an NBA player based mostly on what he does off the court, respond with: "Don't hate the player, hate his game."

Richie Shane Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on May 23, 2012, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, RICHIE SHANE, a 27-year-old resident of Crow Agency and an enrolled member of the Crow Tribe of Indians, appeared for sentencing. SHANE was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 30 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 10 years
SHANE was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to abusive sexual contact.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney E. Vincent Carroll, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On May 16, 2011, law enforcement officers received information that SHANE, during a sweat lodge ceremony at Crow Agency, within the exterior boundaries of the Crow Indian Reservation, had abused a child in a sexual manner.
When questioned on May 17, 2011, SHANE admitted that during the sweat lodge ceremony he knowingly and intentionally abused the victim in a sexual manner.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that SHANE will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, SHANE does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

There's a nice article on the PHPDev Blog which tells you about a few practises (which I'm sure most of us haven fallen a prey to during our careers) which should be avoided at all costs.
Some of the practices include in the article are "I don't need no documentation" syndrome and "My code is the way to go" when other better alternates are out there. Why don't you head out and read the full article there?

Hello all,
I've been reading this forum since my mother died on Feb.11, 2009. The transparency of shared emotions and heartfelt wishes have been a comfort to me in what has been the most painful time of my life. My mother, Marilyn Melancon Patureau Vincent, was a New Orleans lady who loved life and never had an unkind word for anyone. I was her baby boy, age 48 now, and she had my sister (51) and my two older brothers (55&56) By the time she was 27 she was a single mother of 4. She raised us alone and worked as a photographer for over 40 yrs. She was well-read, artistic, and had a flair for making any occasion special. She loved intensely and laughed often. She always viewed life as a glorious struggle in which the greatest thing we have is faith and hope. She wrote poems and kept journals, which are now among my family's most prized possessions. She loved nature and all of it's splendor. She loved dogs, cats, and spent summers on her grandfather's farm as a child. She was a sports fan,
My mother smoked for over 55 yrs. and developed advanced COPD and an aortic aneurysm. She had all of the usual oxygen tanks, breathing machines and medicines. As sick as she was, she still maintained her independence right to the end. She died at home (rupture of aneurysm ) at her dining table while giving herself a breathing treatment. One of her grandsons who had been staying with her (he's a fireman) found her approximately an hour after she died. I believe God spared her intense pain or suffering and that it all happened very quickly. She always said she didn't want to die in a hospital or on an operating table. God was good in granting her that. Most of the immediate family including her two sisters and most of her grandchildren were able to converge on her house before we let them take her to the funeral home. We all got to hug & kiss her and whisper sweet nothings in her ear as we said our goodbyes She was the matriarch of our family and the void and pain we feel is almost unbearable. To know her was to love her. My tears are flowing right now as I write this. I want to honor her memory by loving life more even though it seems like life has lost so much sweetness for me. She left 2 loving sisters, 4 children, 7 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. She left many more who will love and miss her more than words can express. She was my first love and my best friend. She was my Mom.... In loving memory, Marilyn Melancon Patureau Vincent
Always Your Loving Son,

Quick question since I've seen several people on here from the Seattle area. I'm new to this area. I actually live on the Sammamish Plateau. My internet searches for a cider mill in this area keep turning up just Lattin's Country Cider Mill in Olympia. Now I loved talking to the people there, and the lady on the phone even promised me a hug if I'd come down and visit them. I gotta admit, it'd be hard to pass on hospitality like she shows even on the phone. But is that really the closest place for me? Does anyone have any other sources of cider closer to me? (This is Washington. There has to be more than one cider mill here, doesn't there?)
Thank you. The link sounds like fun - things like that which can involve the ones I still have at home are always fun. Cle-Elum is about the same as Olympia for me, but would be an interesting drive for me - I haven't been farther east on I-90 than Snoqualmie Pass yet, so that may make a good excuse to explore a bit. Thank you.
I've always seen a place on the Redmond - Woodinville road that sells cider around this time of year. I'd say give some of the small wineries a call and see if they have some ideas..
Yeah, or one of the Local Home Brew Shops. They probably know where to find it as well. I know the Cellar Homebrew north of Greenwood in Seattle rents cider presses. Might be a good place to start.

Modern persons will never find rest for their restless hearts without Christ, for modern culture is nothing but the wasteland from which the gods have departed, and so this restlessness has become its own deity; and, deprived of the shelter of the sacred and the consoling myths of sacrifice, the modern person must wander or drift, vainly attempting one or another accommodation with death, never escaping anxiety or ennui, and driven as a result to a ceaseless labor of distraction, or acquisition, or willful idiocy. And, where it works its sublimest magic, our culture of empty spectacle can so stupefy the intellect as to blind it to its own disquiet, and induce a spiritual torpor more deplorable than mere despair.But we Christians—while not ignoring how appalling such a condition is—should yet rejoice that modernity offers no religious comforts to those who would seek them. In this time of waiting, in this age marked only by the absence of faith in Christ, it is well that the modern soul should lack repose, piety, peace, or nobility, and should find the world outside the Church barren of spiritual rapture or mystery, and should discover no beautiful or terrible or merciful gods upon which to cast itself. With Christ came judgment into the world, a light of discrimination from which there is neither retreat nor sanctuary. And this means that, as a quite concrete historical condition, the only choice that remains for the children of post-Christian culture is not whom to serve, but whether to serve Him whom Christ has revealed or to serve nothing—the nothing. No third way lies open for us now, because—as all of us now know, whether we acknowledge it consciously or not—all things have been made subject to Him, all the thrones and dominions of the high places have been put beneath His feet, until the very end of the world, and—simply said—there is no other god.
–David Bentley Hart, "Christ and Nothing", First Things (October 2003).

So Monday is a special day for all of us to reflect on the vital contributions made by Cleveland and Bradley County's men and women in our day and in past years.
To the wounded warriors among us who are recovering from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan; to those who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and other dangerous places in the world, and to all who joined our armed forces and stood ready if called, we say thank you for your service.
Our thanks goes to veterans' families too; those who pray each day for the return of a loved one and cope with their absence.
Thousands of veterans live in our area and we seek new ways to recognize them. One current effort is to create a veterans memorial park. The park will be in the Spring Creek area, 25th Street/APD 40, a portion of which was renamed Veterans Memorial Parkway.
Our gratitude to Stan and Brenda Lawson, owners of Spring Creek Development, who are making the land available. The park runs alongside the beautiful Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway, so it will one day be a calm and relaxing place to stop, rest and reflect. In the future, a new Hardee's restaurant will also be next door and will be helping us make it more convenient and accessible from the central retail area.
Numerous other individuals and organizations are taking part in making it a reality.
Woodmen of the World have donated a 35-foot flag pole for the park. It will be topped by a solar-powered light that complies with the code for the proper display of the American flag.
Architect Doug Cawood is working on park plans.
Lee University students recently raised $10,000 for the park during a fundraising military appreciation event.
Citizens are showing their support by purchasing stone markers in memory of a veteran. The stones are placed at the base of trees along the roadway at Spring Creek. Persons interested in placing markers may pick up forms at City Hall and fill out information for the memorial or tribute markers.
For many years our city has gathered on Veterans Day, rain or shine, cold or warm, for a special tribute.
The ceremony starts Monday at 11 a.m. The Bradley County Veterans Services Office says the street on the east side of the Courthouse Plaza will be closed for the ceremony. Visitors are advised to bring chairs. The colors will be raised by Bradley Central High School's ROTC and music will be provided by the Cleveland High School band.
We hope to see you there to commemorate as "The City With Spirit" honors our veterans.

Greeting! I am a international student from China. I was baptized as a Eastern Catholic when I attended high school in Detroit. I will come back to America for college at Purdue University this August, so I just wonder if there is a Eastern Church near it. Thank you so much!
September 4, 2014 1:36 pm
Nicholas, St. Athanasius Parish in Indianapolis is your closest Eastern Catholic Church. Please call the Parish number or check our bulletin for more information. I would like to make sure that you are ministered to so please contact us.

I will be attending the conference on Saturday, September 13th, 2014 and looking very forward to the experience. I just have one question, do I need to have a chapel veil? I do not currently have one but am sure I could aquire one.
Peace Be With You,
Christina Bruns -
DMC permalinkSeptember 12, 2014 7:03 pm
Nicholas Liu, there is an Eastern Orthodox Church in Lafayette near Purdue University. St. Alexis Eastern Orthodox Church and Father Gregory is the priest there. Up there that is close as you are going to get to a similiar church.
September 21, 2014 3:32 pm
Christina, I am sorry for the delayed response, but I do not review directly the website. A chapel veil or head-covering for women is NOT required in a Byzantine Catholic Church in the Eparchy of Parma. I hope you enjoyed the Conference.
Fr. Bryan

I was talking to a friend of mine – an American woman – and she told me that she was upset abut the negative image American women have at home and abroad. Today, we no longer have romance dramas about American women abroad, but rather stories such as Amanda Knox's prosecution for murder. The days when American women were considered glamorous and sexy are over; Europeans and Asians now poke fun at frumpy, fat, slutty American girls. American women are considered, along with their British counterparts, the least desirable of all.
Increasingly, the same attitude is growing at home. Although Madonna and Lady Gaga can still draw crowds around the world, mainly they are seen as freak shows — people head to their concerts as though they are going to the circus.
In the meanwhile, older feminists are still doing what they've always done, and not exactly inclining ordinary folks to like women the more for it.
But is it really fair? Are American women that bad?
As I look around, for the most part I'd have to say no, because I can't really pin all the blame on them. Actually, they are not any better or worse intrinsically than their European or Asian counterparts, but rather products of circumstance and environment. Women under 40 never played a role in granting women the license they now have in our society. Most of them just went along with things, as people are wont to do, and some screwed up along the way. They've been told from day one that they can be and do whatever they want, should be sexually adventurous, and should despise family values and honesty. I know it's true because this is what they taught me as a child, too. I had the opportunity to learn from observation that this is bad advice, but I'm fairly sure lots of women have gone through life fully convinced that casual sex with whoever they please, abortion on demand and frivolous divorce are good things.
A lot of people think America is a very "non-progressive" place — it's part of the teaching narrative used to convince people up is down and such. They say "look at the Europeans, they are so much more progressive and open about sexuality, easygoing…" The implication is that we Americans are so backward and prudish, and we have to fix that by screwing around a lot and aborting all the babies. But it's really a lie.
Americans of my generation were born into the most "progressive" childrearing environment that I can think of in modern Western history. The divorce rate was exploding, people were screwing around so much that AIDS burst onto the scene very rapidly, discos were full of coke-snorting players, and it was the so-called golden age of porn. Sweden had nothing on us. Not even close.
Back then, even the Christians were freaks. I knew a bunch of people who grew up in Christian cults, including the Children of God, Love Israel, and various other lesser-known communities. These people were not exactly enriched by the experience of a free love, communal childhood cloaked in religious garb. I'm lucky my traditional grandparents took me to a church that was mainly filled with old Irish ladies, because some of the stories these other kids told me were downright weird.
Secular society was no better. Although much of the art that came out of the 70s was spectacular stuff, the messages conveyed to kids weren't calculated to instill a sense of responsibility. In fact, in hindsight, it really seems like the last thing a lot of the adults back then wanted was responsibility. Life was a big orgy for many of them. I'm sure a lot of them had a blast.
The one thing I remember appreciating about all this was that people my age had a lot of freedom. Wives were just entering the workforce in large numbers in the 80s, and society hadn't really adjusted to it, so we kids were left to fend for ourselves, which gave us a lot of opportunities to do as we pleased. When we weren't being told to "self-actualize" or somesuch bullshit, we could ride bikes around town, play in parks, chuck rocks or whatever. Today's kids definitely no longer have this privilege, and probably for good reason.
What happened is that my little generation of kids went on to become the most troubled and violent group of minors in US history. Murder and mayhem were far more the norm in the early 90s than today, believe it or not. So, that little experiment was a total failure, but instead of going back to tried and true methods of raising families, our parents decided we were little devils and built more prisons, locked more of us up and filled the streets with police cruisers. In the meanwhile, they redoubled their efforts to teach irresponsible behavior and lies, but they entirely stopped practicing what they preached. They'd grown out of that behavior by then, anyway, but once people are past 40 or so they rarely change their minds, so they became even bigger hypocrites than they had been before.
The result has been disastrous for our society, and contributed a fair amount to social stratification. The less capable members of society were hit the hardest for a few reasons. Most importantly, they were confused by the mixed messages, and even if they weren't they couldn't afford to insulate themselves from dysfunctional institutions such as public schools.
Younger women, of course, were not immune from the bad influence. Despite the fact that fewer women under the age of 40 identify strongly with feminism than older women, they have followed the feminists' bad advice, because that's all they've ever known. So while the boomer feminist may have preached sexual liberation, abortion and the "I don't need no man" mentality, she at least had the benefit of her more traditional parents' example to fall back on if necessary. Their daughters did not have that advantage, and never really knew any better.
Despite how clear it is that their parents failed them, younger women are still taught in universities that all the problems are the result of the "old society" filled with spooky patriarchy and dead white males haunting us like so many ghosts even today. This is because the people running the universities today are their parents! They are still preaching the same garbage they embraced circa 1972, and they will never stop doing so until they retire or die.
So, as a matter of fact, the most libertine generation in our history is currently running our society, and if we are to blame anyone, it's them. No, it isn't because we live in a prudish, backward society, but rather that an entire generation took radically "progressive" ideals way too far and did enormous damage to our culture.
So, although I'd say it's proper – and necessary – to hold American women responsible when they do something wrong, we must conclude that much of the fault lies with their parents. It's time we started taking a more critical look at the people running our institutions and asking them whether, given how much they've screwed up their most fundamental responsibilities, they are still qualified to lead anything at all.

Updated: 2/06/2014 3:49 pm
Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - The Houston Astros have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with right-handed pitcher Jerome Williams and designated infielder Brett Wallace for assignment on Thursday.
Terms of Williams' deal were not disclosed.
Williams, 32, went 9-10 with a 4.57 ERA in 37 games, including 25 starts, for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim last season.
He began his 2013 season in the Angels bullpen, where he made his first eight appearances, posting a 2.35 ERA, before starting 25 of his last 29 games from May thru the end of the season.
Williams has pitched in parts of eight seasons with San Francisco (2003-05), the Chicago Cubs (2005-06), Washington (2007) and Los Angeles (2011-13) and has a career record of 42-47 with a 4.35 ERA.
Wallace, 27, appeared in 79 games across two stints for the Astros last season, collecting 14 doubles, 13 home runs and 36 RBI.

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Google demonstrated a new prototype of the technology , which can translate the text from any given photo. Well Google Goggles is Google's experimental Android visual search application.
Google's Blog Post about this said,
You may wonder what's happening in the background. On the simplest level, this prototype connects the phone's camera to an optical character recognition (OCR) engine, recognizes the image as text and then translates that text into English with Google Translate.Right now this technology only works for German-to-English translations and it's not yet ready for prime time. However, it shows a lot of promise for what the future might hold. Soon your phone will be able to translate signs, posters and other foreign text instantly into your language. Eventually, we're hoping to build a version of Google Goggles that can translate between all of the 52 languages currently supported by Google Translate — bringing even more information to you on the go.

Summary: A remarkable and inspiring memoir by a remarkable and inspiring human being: Arthur Ashe, embodiment of courage and grace in every aspect of his life, from his triumphs as a great tennis champion and his determined social activism to his ordeal in the face of death, a casualty of AIDS. As he brings us into his childhood in Richmond, Virginia, where he was born in 1943, where his mother died when he was six, and where he was raised by a loving but demanding father who ...show more set before his son the goals of self-reliance, discipline, and responsibility. He recalls his exit from the then segregated South and his entry into the world of tennis: a black intruder in an all-white enclave, experiencing from the start every variety of rude or "polite" exclusion and yet becoming, despite it, one of his generation's great players. He takes us inside the tennis world of his championship years and his captaincy of the Davis Cup team. He describes the full emotional shock of the discovery in 1988, in the aftermath of a brain operation, of his infection with AIDs - an infection that was traced back to a transfusion after a heart bypass operation in 1983. He tells what took place when he confided his condition to his wife and to a few close friends and colleagues. And he fully recounts for the first time what happened when, in April 1992, the possibility of a newspaper report forced him to reveal his illness to the world, the ordeal that ensued, and his feelings about it. We see how, during the last five years of his life, Ashe devoted the brilliance and strength that had made him a great tennis champion to the championship of great causes: justice for black men and women, the fight against all prejudice, the battle against AIDS, and active opposition to South Africa's apartheid and to U.S. policy toward Haitians seeking asylum here. ...show less

So we are all in agreement that motherhood is the hardest and most rewarding job there ever will be, yes?
And are we nodding our heads in agreement that there are times when our little cherub-faced angels turn into crazed feral children on the hunt for that last nerve we are so desperately holding on to? And that it is these times that all we want is for them to run off the sugar buzz so we can make them sit still long enough in front of the T.V. for us to make a quick escape into the bathroom, lock the door, and just breathe for a minute because Me Time now means being able to pee uninterrupted?
Because then it's bedtime and they get droopy-eyed and snuggly and there are stories and rituals like asking each other what our favorite part of the day was and then pretending to be shocked that their answer is almost always the part that they got to spend with us and they drift off into innocent dreams and we sigh, content, because every single moment is just worth it?
Motherhood is insane. It's intense. It's incredible. And we at 30 Second Mom want to hear from you. The one day out of the year devoted to this crazy ride we are all on is almost here and we want to showcase your favorite Mother's Day memories in the 30 Second Mom Most Memorable Mother's Day MoMents Contest!

"Buying Guide"
2010 Pinot Noir, Carneros
It's impossible to exaggerate the yummy factor of this silky, fruity Pinot Noir. While it has pleasant acidity, it's the raspberry, cherry, cinnamon and brown-sugar flavors that make it so appealing to drink now.

If Kenny Britt were committed to his craft, he wouldn't have been arrested again on Wednesday. If he wanted to improve his game and help his team develop, he'd have been at the Tennessee Titans' player-organized practice yesterday.
Instead, he was in Hoboken, N.J., spending his time (allegedly) resisting arrest:
Police said the former Rutgers star was arrested at a Hoboken car wash Wednesday and charged with resisting arrest after two plainclothes officers suspected he was carrying a marijuana cigar.
Hoboken Detective Sgt. Sam Williams said the officers were in line to pay when they detected the smell of marijuana and tried to arrest Britt. He allegedly resisted and tried to dispose of the cigar, which wasn't found.
I'm on the verge of filing Britt into the same Tennessee-based cabinet that contains Albert Haynesworth and Pacman Jones. Yet another Titans player who was groomed by Jeff Fisher has what I'd classify as a major character issue.
See, earlier in the day, Britt pleaded guilty to misdemeanor careless driving charges. It can be argued that Britt was extremely lucky to have those charges reduced from the felony level, so you'd think that he would make the best of his good fortune. Instead, the turn of events only exacerbated his air of invincibility.
More details on Britt's past transgressions come courtesy of the Newark Star-Ledger:
Britt was arrested in January 2010 after failing to pay $865 for three outstanding traffic warrants. He had been facing a theft-by-deception charge for not paying bail money he had pledged for a friend, but that $12,500 payment was made earlier this year.
Last October, Britt was involved in a bar room fight at a Nashville club, but was not charged. Last August in Nashville, he received a misdemeanor citation for driving on a revoked license.
How does one dude find this much trouble? Britt's not receiving any help from the league due to the lockout, which could make matters significantly worse. But that's no excuse. He's a grown man who makes his own decisions. Had he been practicing with his team, he wouldn't have wound up in yet another legal mess and he wouldn't be facing a potentially large suspension when the NFL does resume operations.
As I wrote when Aqib Talib found new problems in March, situations like these are hard to comprehend. That's because most of us haven't lived in the shoes of guys like Britt and Talib. We can't relate. It just pains us to see gifted human beings throw it all away because they just can't see things the way we do.

Gear Review
David Zemens
Last winter I cracked the highback on one of my old Drake Supersports and had to replace them. I ended up going with the Cartel and I can't believe how much better binding technology has gotten in the last five years!
The Cartel is pretty lightweight because of the composite construction, and very comfortable straps with plenty of padding. The toe cap strap is good and definitely reduces that squeezing discomfort that sometimes happens with the over-arch strap. Note: if you have an older boot, it might not fit very well. I had a tough time adjusting for my old 32 TM2s.
The best part about this binding is that pretty much every piece of it is adjustable by hand - the highback is super adjustable - which means you don't need to carry a screwdriver or multi-tool.

1804 Inn at Barboursville Vineyards
Barboursville, VA, 22923 , United States
The restored interior of this intimate inn's Georgian villa, in Virginia's burgeoning wine region 20 miles from Charlottesville, is a refined mix of damask, oil paintings, four-poster beds, and claw-foot tubs. Three palatial suites have private balconies with views of the vineyards, lake, and majestic Blue Ridge Mountains; the Octagon Suite also overlooks the ruins of a historic Thomas Jefferson–designed mansion. For maximum seclusion, book one of the two cottage rooms, which are carved out of the brick 18th-century servant's quarters and screened from the rest of the property by a row of stately boxwood trees. Don't miss dinner at Palladio, the vineyard's elegant northern Italian restaurant.

We will do 2 piece, if that makes any difference. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not that familiar with the Portrait, but this seems like a style issue more than anything. We Have two of the Memoirs adn I wish now that we had gone with those for the upstairs baths as well just because they look nicer than the Cimmaron. Yhe portrait looks like it has more details so will look more finished. It is more rounded and Memoirs is more angular/rectangular. Which one works best with the other things in your bath (oval sinks or rectangular, mirrors, trim on your cabinets and door style, rounded edges on your counters or angular, etc.)? Is there any size difference that would matter? I really don't think this is a question of one being better than the other -- just which one you want for a particular room. |

Looks like Big Boi will be making an appearance in Morgan Spurlock's upcoming documentary "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold". The doc looks to be about product placement in films - and it will be entirely funded by product placement.
Most likely, Morgan will be talking to Big about his partnership with Crown Royal Black, but more importantly, we'll get to hear him weigh in on the lines between corporate interests and "Art". Check out the trailer. Daddy Fat Saxxx appears at around 1:55.
At an exclusive SXSW Foursquare event, Big did an interview where among many other things, he announced a group album comprised of him, Mike Bigga (ex-Killer Mike) and Pill, of "Trap Goin' Ham" fame, (seriously, have you seen the video for that track?) the group doesn't have a name yet, but the name is secondary to all that talent.
Check out Big Boi's interview from SXSW right here.
Animal Collective confirm Tony Conrad, Grouper and more for All Tomorrow's Parties 13-15 May, Butlins Holiday Centre, MineheadRead more
Thanks to the fans and their support, the next video off "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty" will be "Be Still" (ft. Janelle Monae). Straight From The A got the exclusive behind the scenes and not only did they get a bunch of photos, they posted this video as well. Checks it out.
ALSO, if you are going to be at South By Southwest this year, Big Boi will be playing at MOG's unofficial SXSW party at the Mohawk on Saturday, March 19th. Get there.
In this interview with the LA Times, Big talks about the Grammy "snub", his plans for his next record ("Daddy Fat Sacks: Soul Funk Crusader"), and his upcoming tour with his first generation Dungeon Family member Cee-Lo.
There's also a video of Big tearing up the Nokia Theater in LA.
This summer, Big will be performing at Bonnaroo (June 9-12) and at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark (June 30 - July 3) with Janelle Monae. Start booking those flights.Read more
Big Boi recently sat down with Rap Basement to talk about Outkast's long history at the Grammys, the constant switching of his style and the recent revolution in Egypt.
Are you all up on this Big Boi + Black Keys mashup? Mashups these days can be questionable, but this one is Big Boi approved and stankin'.
After you check it out right here, go vote for Big Boi and the Black Keys to play the grammys.
After you check it out, go vote for Big Boi and the Black Keys to play the grammys.
An ambitious group of Big Boi fans have started a facebook group to try and get Big and The Black Keys into the last open performance spot at The Grammys. Get on it!

Examples of student work exhibited in the Student Art Galleries are: painting, 2-D design, sculpture, photography, printmaking, graphic design, digital imaging and drawing.
The Student Art Galleries are located in Byars Hall, the fine arts bulding. A $7 million renovation of Byars Hall, which houses the College's Division of Visual and Performing Arts, was completed in the spring of 2008. The project included a major three-story addition to the facility which increased the square footage of the building by 19,515 for a total of 32,348. The addition, plus renovations to the historic portion of the building, made room for choir and ensemble rehearsal halls, a digital art lab, two large art studios, additional practice rooms for instrumental music, a large piano lab, a dark room, a theatre support room, and numerous seminar and classrooms, as well as faculty offices. The student galleries are located in the historic portion of the building.

LOORS UTV Champion, SuperLite Challenge Cup WIN, TORC Rookie of The Year
Riverside, CA 12/13/2011 – The 2011 off-road racing season ended in spectacular fashion for the Walker Evans Racing (WER) team. Driver RJ Anderson clinched his very first UTV Unlimited Championship in the final rounds of racing at the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) finale in Chandler, AZ at the always fun Firebird International Raceway. It has been a long time coming for RJ and his #637 Walker Evans Racing /South Point Casino Polaris RZR. Having competed in all 3 seasons of LOORRS in a UTV and seeming to always fall just a few points short of winning it all, it was really encouraging to RJ, the Walker Evans Racing team, and all of his sponsors to come out this year and dominate like he did.
