Washington Coast Guard operations could be cut by sequestration

Coast Guard operations in the Pacific Northwest could be curtailed if sequestration-related budget cuts aren't averted in Washington, D.C.
That was the message given last month by Rear Admiral Keith Taylor, head of the Coast Guard's 13th District, at an industry breakfast attended by many regional maritime leaders.
"It will be catastrophic," he said. "It will represent big changes to the level of service we might or might not be able to provide."
Since then, Taylor has been more circumspect, under orders not to take any positions that might be perceived as favoring one side over another. President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders were in 11th-hour negotiations on Friday on a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" brought on by budget cuts and expiring tax cuts.
In an emailed statement on Friday, Taylor declined to be specific about what steps his district is taking to prepare for sequestration budget cuts.
"I recognize sequestration is a national issue impacting all entities within the federal government. At this stage, in my role as Coast Guard District Thirteen Commander in the Pacific Northwest, it is premature to comment on any specific impacts sequestration may have on the Coast Guard," he said in the statement, provided by his publicist. "My top objectives if sequestration occurs would be to sustain the most critical operations and avoid long-term impacts to our region."
Coast Guard operations are critical to the region's maritime industry, providing navigational aids, security, and response during maritime accidents or disasters.
The 13th District, headquartered in Seattle, includes 2,500 active-duty Coast Guard members and employs another 2,000 civilians, Taylor said at the luncheon.

Imagine entering an equation into a calculator and pressing the equals button many times. Each time the button is pressed, the calculator repeats the function, changing the input with each new application of the function. The function and an initial value determine a dynamical system. Depending on the starting input to the function, several outcomes may occur: for example, the output value may diverge to infinity, or it may cycle between several different values. Cycles between one or more values are called periodic points, and largely characterize the behavior of our system. In this study, we introduce an algorithm based on Newton's method to find periodic points of a polynomial zn + an-1zn-1 + … + a1z + c. As the parameter |c| approcaches infinity, periodic points collapse to nth roots of unity, revealing a natural correspondence to symbolic dynamics. In this way each periodic point has a symbolic address that can be tracked as we move about parameter space. Using our algorithm, we take steps through parameter space to identify various symbolic automorphisms.
The talk is open to the public.
This research is due to a mini-grant from CURM. CURM is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) grant #DMS-0636648/#DMS-1148695, by Brigham Young University(BYU), and by sponsors.

The celebration of Martin Gardner's 100th birthday (born October 21, 1914) took place on October 21, 2014 in Jordan Hall 238 from 2:30-4:00 p.m.
Dr. Judi Morrel's honors class presented magic tricks with mathematical foundations, and Professor Jeremiah P. Farrell contributed a new magic trick to this fun event. Gardner's birthday is celebrated world-wide. Martin Gardner was highly respected for his contributions to the world of mathematics and science through his many Scientific American articles about puzzles, tricks, and other astounding mathematical ideas. He wrote many books which are still enjoyed today.
Dr. Mummert attended a conference in Gyeongju, Korea from Aug 23-26, which brought together over 60 research mathematicians (ranging from graduate students to acknowledged experts in the field) to discuss topics in holomorphic dynamics in one and several complex variables.

Allan Rossman, Ph. D., presented "Choosing the Best: Decision Making under Uncertainty" on Friday, October 31, 2014, 2:00-3:00 pm, Jordan Hall 238.
Dr. Rossman presented a classic probability problem known as the "Secretary Problem" which illustrates the utility of probabilistic thinking when making decisions under uncertainty. The problem is easy to state: Your task is to hire a new employee for your company. You know how many candidates have applied, you interview them one-at-a-time in random order, and you can rank the candidates after you have interviewed them. But the rules are that you have to decide immediately whether or not to hire a candidate (i.e., you can't invite one back later), and you must hire THE best candidate (i.e., if you hire the second best one, you have failed). We will devise a clever strategy for choosing the best candidate and will explore how (surprisingly) well the strategy performs with both small and large numbers of candidates. We will also consider a gambling application and ponder whether the optimal strategy is relevant to finding your soul-mate in life!
Allan Rossman is Professor and Chair of the Statistics Department at Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo and previously taught in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Dickinson College. His Ph.D. is in Statistics, from Carnegie Mellon University. He is co-author with Beth Chance of the Workshop Statistics series and Investigating Statistical Concepts, Applications, and Methods, both of which adopt an active learning approach to learning introductory statistics. He was Program Chair for the 2007 Joint Statistical Meetings and President of the International Association for Statistical Education from 2007-2009. He served as Chief Reader for the Advanced Placement program in Statistics from 2009 - 2014. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and was one of the recipients of the Mathematical Association of America's Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics in 2010.
William Dunham "Your Humble Servant, Is. Newton"
Almost fifty years ago, Cambridge University Press published the correspondence of Isaac Newton, a seven-volume, 3000-page collection of letters that provide insight into this great, if difficult, genius. Dunham will share his favorite examples of Newton as correspondent. From his earliest known letter in 1661 (where he scolded a friend for being drunk), through exchanges with Leibniz, Locke, and others, to documents from his days at the Mint in London, these writings give glimpses of Newton at his best … and his worst. He will end by discussing Newton's most-quoted line about standing on the shoulders of giants and describe how his search for its place of origin led him, improbably, to a library in Philadelphia.
William Dunham, a historian of mathematics, is retired after 22 years as the Koehler Professor of Mathematics at Muhlenberg College. As a visiting professor at Harvard University, he taught a semester course on the mathematics of Leonhard Euler at Harvard University in both 2008 and 2013, and he also held a visiting appointment at Princeton University in the spring of 2014. He is currently a visit at the University of Pennsylvania and serves as the MAA's George Pólya Lecturer.

3D printing has grown in sophistication since the late 1970s. TED Fellow Skylar Tibbits is shaping the next development, which he calls 4D printing: where the fourth dimension is time. This emerging technology will allow us to print objects that then reshape themselves or self-assemble over time. Think: a printed cube that folds before your eyes, or a printed pipe able to sense the need to expand or contract.
In this keynote, Tibbits explains how we are now able to program nearly everything-from bits of DNA, proteins, cells, and proto-cells; to products, architecture, and infrastructure. Programmability and computing are becoming ubiquitous across scales and disciplines. Tibbits shows us how soon these small-scale technologies will translate into solutions for large-scale applications-and what it means for your industry.
Each year, Butler University's Mathematics Association of America (MAA) chapter hosts an MAA Scavenger Hunt on campus for local high school students to attend. This event offers students the chance to utilize mathematical concepts they have learned in the classroom in a fun way. Past participants have enjoyed the hunt, and we look forward to hosting it again this year! The scavenger hunt will be held on February 21, 2015. Registration will be limited to the first twelve teams to register on a first-serve basis. Each school is allowed to bring up to two teams consisting of three participants.

Strange portals have opened across the Earth, only visible to those with high power. Otherwise normal humans can not see them and when they walk through them nothing happens. These portals lead to the Angel Realm. A place up till a few years ago was plagued by a viscous battle where scars from it can still be seen on the wastelands. Since that time peace has returned to this world as the light and dark angells have found true peace. Now as these strange beings from Earth have stumbled upon their world they must find why this has happened. The High Council of Angels have decided in order to make sure these figures do not make problems to hold a festival. They have also dispatched their strongest warrior(with much difficulty) to find the source of these portals and put a end to them. What dangers lurk in the shadows for the young angel as he tries to set his home into its natural order.
- standard rp rules
- keep random bystander deaths to a minimum as they are not as weak as humans
- If you join you agree that your character's powers can and will be copied and used against them
- Shadow beasts can not be killed because when they die they just reform. They also do not try to kill just go through as many of them as you want when I introduce them.
I decided to go ahead and make the OOC to see if people are interested in this and how many people want in. Based on how many people I get will decide how fast I start it. Hoping to start it in a week or two at the earliest.

SHOW LOW, Ariz., June 26— Bedraggled and blackened, firefighters on the front lines of Arizona's most devastating fire seemed resigned today, eight days after being summoned here, to a long battle against the flames.
Warily watching the sky for dry lightning, the kind of phenomenon that habitually sparks blazes in bone-dry woodlands like those around this evacuated town, firefighters pressed their efforts to suppress the Rodeo-Chediski fire's northeastern flank, barely a mile from here.
''It's still going to be a long time -- several days -- before we get the upper hand on this fire,'' a Forest Service spokesman, Jim Paxon, said this morning. ''Mother Nature still has a major role to play. She can still throw us some curve balls.''
The Rodeo-Chediski fire is enlarging on several fronts, including an approach to Cibecue on the southern rim of the fire and the entire western flank of the fire. Fire officials, who put the size of the blaze at about 640 square miles, were concerned with wind gusts this afternoon, which made the job of holding the Show Low line more difficult. The fire has so far cost $7.8 million to fight.
There was a flurry here when officials announced that a man had been arrested on suspicion of starting the Rodeo fire. He was a resident of Show Low, a town of 8,000 residents, and was wandering the streets in violation of the evacuation order. He ran, heightening the suspicion of the police. They arrested him, but he will not be charged in relation to the fire, officials said.
The Forest Service came under criticism today from residents of Pinedale and Heber-Overgaard, towns west of here that sustained fire damage to a number of houses. Some residents quoted by The Arizona Republic said firefighters under orders from Forest Service incident command teams pulled out of Pinedale prematurely late last week, allowing some 17 houses to burn, and failed to use adequate resources to battle the fire when it touched Heber-Overgaard, where about 250 structures were lost.
''It's really hard to please everybody,'' Jim Clawson, a law enforcement coordinator with the Forest Service, said in an interview. ''That fire came into that community at a roar. We had to move our folks out because we could have killed somebody.''
Mr. Clawson said the firefighters were confronted by flames of 200 to 300 feet high in Pinedale. ''You don't put somebody in front of that,'' he said. ''As soon as that fire came through our folks went back in, and they tried to save as many homes as they could. We saved more homes by far than we lost.''
A tour today of the Pinedale area, about nine miles northwest of here, showed several burned houses, including one owned by Mark Killian, a former speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives and currently director of the state's Department of Revenue. Other houses survived the scorching of the woods around them, thanks in part, it appeared, to fire lines dug by bulldozers.
''Nature is really interesting, which houses it chooses to burn and which it doesn't,'' said Danny Randall, a ranger with the Bureau of Land Management, based in New Mexico. He pointed to a large, intact wood cabin with a sign over the driveway with the legend, ''Bare Necessities Ranch.''
''That's one lucky resident,'' he said. ''There's plenty of fuel there. You'd think this house would have burned, but it didn't.''
At least 10 firefighters have been injured on the Rodeo-Chediski blaze, none seriously, but more than 800 have visited medical units, many of them for respiratory problems. About 2,875 firefighters and support workers are at the fire, which was just 5 percent contained today.
''I've got blisters on both feet, man,'' said Mario Chacon, a 19-year-old firefighter from Ontario, Oregon, who stood in a long line at the only store open for business here, Kmart, buying spam, potato chips and other essentials. He looked tired, his face lined with soot, after being here for eight days.
''I can't remember the last time I took a shower,'' he said. ''Sometimes we go for weeks like this.''

Probably a noob question, but I'll go for it nevertheless.
For sake of example, I have a Person table, a Tag table and a ContactMethod table. A Person will have multiple Tag records and multiple ContactMethod records associated with them.
I'd like to have a forgiving search which will search among several fields from each table. So I can find a person by their email (via ContactMethod), their name (via Person) or a tag assigned to them.
As a complete noob to FTS, two approaches come to mind:
- Build some complex query which addresses each field individually
- Build some sort of lookup table which concatenates the fields I want to index and just do a full-text query on that derived table.
(Feel free to edit for clarity; I'm not in it for the rep points.)
