Judge casts cloud over web of sex offender residency restrictions
Starting in 2005, Milwaukee suburbs began, one by one, adopting strict rules on where sex offenders could live. As they did, more and more of the released inmates wound up in the city and a shrinking number of places without bans.
Now a judge has declared that the local restrictions, while legally acceptable in isolation, collectively act to defeat the state law meant to manage sex offenders after release from secure state treatment.
City attorneys expect to challenge the ruling, which could have implications far beyond the placement of the offender in question in the case.
"We're certainly aware of it, and are evaluating an appropriate response," Deputy Assistant City Attorney Danielle Bergner said. "Every municipality in Milwaukee County is doing the same thing."
District Attorney John Chisholm said he and others have warned about such a consequence.» Read Full Article

Lucky Joe's Alchemy and Eatery, a speakeasy-style bar and restaurant, could open this summer in the space that has housed One Way Cafe for over a decade at 1425 Underwood Ave. in the Wauwatosa Village.

"It's been a great ten years with a great customer base," Haeger said.
As she welcomed Lucky Joe's, Alderwoman Allison Byrne said the community would miss One Way Cafe.
"Thank you for the many wonderful breakfasts," Byrne said. "We wish you a fond farewell."» Read Full Article
Jackson's Blue Ribbon looks to bring duckpin bowling to Wauwatosa
The owners of Jackson's Blue Ribbon Pub, 11302 W. Bluemound Road, are planning to expand next door to Pitch's Baby Grand with a new restaurant, bar and duckpin bowling alley called the Thirsty Duck. It could open in June if permits are approved by the city.
Jackson's co-owner Dan Zierath said he's been looking to expand for years as he has watched duckpin bowling become more popular at other establishments like Koz's Mini Bowl in Milwaukee. Duckpin bowling is set up similar to traditional bowling but the balls and pins are smaller and there are some variations on the rules.
"Koz's is always really busy," Zierath said. "We know there's a need for it here."
Zierath said he and his brother Mark will be leasing the building from the current owner, whose family has owned it for decades.
Owner John Picciurro, who goes by John Pitch, told a Wauwatosa Now blogger that since the 1970s, the building has seen many different businesses, including Here's Johnny's, Jacks or Better, Four Flags, Pitch's Kansas City Style BBQ, Greek Village, Guadalupe Mexican Restaurant, and finally Pitch's Baby Grand.» Read Full Article

A new tiki bar and restaurant, Wauwatiki, is planning to overhaul the Home Solutions USA building at 6502 W. North Ave. in East Tosa this summer.
Wauwatiki plans to serve Caribbean-style lunch, dinner and late-night food along with craft cocktails, beer, wine and spirits.

"My bar is more of a college bar and I wanted to try something different," Growel said. "I'm not as young as I used to be."
The owners are applying for a conditional use permit from the city to do a full renovation and add on to the building to create space for two full-service bar areas. They also plan to add a three-season wrap-around patio.» Read Full Article

Wauwatosa police chase ends in crash, injury
Chased by Wauwatosa police Monday night, a stolen vehicle ran a red light on Center Street and caused a three-vehicle crash at 51st Street, according to Wauwatosa Police Lieutenant Brian Zalewski.
Zalewski said police responded to a call that a vehicle was stolen about 11:40 p.m. Monday near North Avenue and 62nd Street in Wauwatosa. Police spotted the vehicle heading eastbound on Center Street near 71st Street.
When police turned on their lights, Zalewski said the vehicle did not stop and continued east at a high rate of speed. When the stolen car had still not stopped at 57th Street, Zalewski said the officer followed standard procedure and pulled over to signal that police were no longer chasing the stolen car.
Despite the officer pulling over, Zalewski said the stolen vehicle continued to speed east and ran a red light at 51st Street, where it struck another vehicle going north through a green light. Zalewski said one person in the northbound car appeared to sustain minor injuries, and one of the cars careened into a third car.
Zalewski said the officer on the scene saw three people get out of the stolen vehicle and run away on foot. Since the crash was in Milwaukee, police and fire departments from there responded to the incident. Zalewski said it appeared none of the suspects were taken into custody.» Read Full Article

Top of truck 'peeled back like a can' after collision with bridge in Wauwatosa
Debris has been cleared and traffic is flowing again on Swan Boulevard after a tractor trailer collided with a railroad bridge about 6:45 a.m. this morning near Hoyt Park. The driver was not injured.
"There was a lot of debris from the top of the truck basically being shredded," Wauwatosa Police Lt. Brian Zalewski said. "The whole top got peeled back like a can."
The truck was lodged under the bridge until about 8 a.m. when it was towed away, according to police. Zalewski said there were no hazardous materials on board and there was no damage to the bridge.
Several signs in the area warn that no trucking is allowed. A large yellow sign on the bridge marks its clearance as 12 feet. Zalewski said the driver was issued a citation for inattentive driving for failing to notice the signs.
TMJ4 has footage of the truck while it was lodged under the bridge:» Read Full Article

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
After graduating from high school, Usher released his sophomore album, My Way, in 1997. In an attempt to display his maturity and songwriting abilities, he co-wrote six of the nine songs and enlisted the help of producers Jermaine Dupri, Babyface, and, again, Combs. The album's first single, "You Make Me Wanna," reestablished Usher as one of R&B's hottest artists, and also made him a crossover sensation; it topped the R&B charts for 11 weeks, hit number two pop, and eventually went double platinum. Both of the follow-up singles, "Nice & Slow" and "My Way," also went platinum; the former stayed at number one on the R&B charts for eight weeks and became his first number one pop single. In the meantime, Usher launched an acting career, appearing in the 1998 horror spoof The Faculty and the 1999 urban high-school drama Light It Up.
To tide fans over, he issued a concert recording titled simply Live in 1999. Usher returned with his third proper album, All About U, toward the end of 2000. His third album, 8701 (2001), moved him from a teen pop star to a sultry R&B singer. In early 2004, Arista released the single "Yeah!" Produced by Lil Jon and guesting Ludacris, the addictive, lightly crunk cut fast became a club and radio favorite.
By the time the Usher full-length Confessions dropped later that March, "Yeah!" had hit the top of the Billboard charts. The album itself was Usher's most mature work to date and won the Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album in 2004, while "Yeah!" took home the best rapped/sung collaboration award. He starred in 2005's In the Mix and went back to music with 2008's Here I Stand, an album that topped the Billboard 200 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.
Raymond v Raymond, inspired in part by the end of his marriage, was released in 2010 as three of its songs were climbing the charts. Its buzz single, "Papers," had already topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. An EP titled Versus followed later in the year. Led by Hot R&B/Hip Hop chart-topper "Climax" (co-produced by Diplo), Looking 4 Myself was issued in June 2012, driven by the Top Ten single "Scream," and it became Usher's fourth number one album. One year later, he served as a coach for the NBC reality show The Voice , substituting for Cee Lo Green. ~ Lynda Lane & Andy Kellman, Rovi

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Tom Rooney (R-FL) has been recognized by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers, for his outstanding commitment to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking. Congressman Rooney was one of 16 Members of Congress to be honored for his ongoing dedication.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 10,839 alcohol-impaired traffic fatalities in 2009. Of these alcohol-impaired traffic fatalities, 770 alone were in Florida. Understanding the scope of this national epidemic, this year's award recipients joined The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility to help educate youth and their parents from middle school through college-aged students about responsible decision-making concerning beverage alcohol.
Congressman Rooney provided leadership and support for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don't Mix initiative on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The Ask, Listen, Learn program incorporates an interactive activity that encourages kids to "say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking." Further, the program urges parents to talk with their children early and often about the dangers and risks associated with underage drinking. At the Capitol Hill event, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility partnered with the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian in history and short-track speed skater, Apolo Anton Ohno, and five-time Olympic athlete and swimmer Dara Torres, to promote healthy and active lifestyles among youth. Congressman Rooney's support for our Capitol Hill event helped The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility reach policymakers and their children and encouraged middle school students to become Ask, Listen, Learn Team members.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a not-for-profit organization funded by distillers including: Bacardi U.S.A., Inc.; Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc., Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Hood River Distillers, Inc.; Pernod Ricard USA and Sidney Frank Importing Co., Inc. Through legislation, education, and public awareness campaigns, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a leader in the fight against drunk driving and underage drinking and promotes responsible decision making regarding beverage alcohol.

Fundraising campaign for neonatal research at Hospital Sant Joan de Déu
With just €1 you will be collaborating in social projects at Hospital Sant Joan de Déu aimed at research into feeding, optimum growth rates and indicators for improving nutrition during the first weeks of life of premature babies.
Premature babies are those born before week 32, i.e. after about 7 months of gestation, or weighing less than one and a half kilos. These babies may suffer complications during the first weeks of life, with probable consequences during infancy. To prevent such problems, it is essential for them to be well nourished while they are in the neonatal unit. This research aims to help set up a system to detect whether babies are well nourished and thus optimise their development.
Interesting facts
- Every year, 15 million preterm babies are born around the world.
- In Spain, 31,000 preterm babies are born every year, which translates to 1 in 13.
- 700 newborn babies are admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) every year, i.e. 2 a day.
- Despite improvements in care during pregnancy (perinatal care), preterm births continue to rise.
Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Social Projects
Sant Joan de Déu Maternity and Child Hospital is part of a private healthcare group that encompasses 40,000 professional people in over 50 countries. Its level of research and care in paediatric diseases make it one of the leading children's hospitals in Spain and Europe.+ Info

User will be provided a client, where they only need to tap Log in and it will read the NFC UID from the phone, send it to the server, if it's registered then the log in process is successful. But I'm totally new to the technology so I want to ask if doing so is really possible? I've been researching for awhile and found some articles say that the UID is randomly generated each time it's scanned. Is that true? Is there any real fixed UID that can be used to serve my purpose? Please help me, thanks!

Attracted by the fast water and waterfalls along the Winooski River as it rushes down to Lake Champlain, the first settlers established small wooden mills for grinding grain and sawing lumber. Later, large brick mills were built, and their massive water-wheels powered looms to weave cotton and woolen cloth. Over the years waves of immigrants worked in these industries, including the Irish coming from other New England states, and French Canadians coming from Quebec.
After the mills closed during the 1950s, Winooksi slowed to a virtual standstill with no new engine to power its economy. But today the mills and historic downtown buildings with their ornate Victorian trim still stand, and have been re-purposed as shops, restaurants, condominiums, health clubs and offices. These include the Woolen Mill, the Champlain Mill, and the Winooski Block. All are National Historic Register buildings.
About ten years ago an ambitious plan was launched to revitalize the remaining core of the downtown. The award-winning redevelopment is nearly complete -- transforming the historic downtown into a vibrant, thriving,city center with parks and public squares, and the popular Riverwalk promenade.
Today, Mill Park serves as festival space and features the Winooski Farmers Market in season, and the family-friendly Winooski Riverwalk Festival each June. There is a canoe launch right in downtown, or, if you would prefer a riverside view, there are great views from the Champlain Mill, also home to a museum about Winooski's history. Local restaurants deservedly have a great local following, including Sneakers, well known for its breakfast, weekend brunch and evening entertainment. Papa Frank's Italian Restaurant has an enduring reputation as a delicious, inexpensive, and a cheerful restaurant.

(CNN) -- Sarah Palin, who's been listed twice as one of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People," is taking issue with the publication's decision to name President Barack Obama as its "Person of the Year."
Poking fun at herself, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee said the magazine lacks a certain degree of relevancy.
"Time magazine, I think there's some irrelevancy there to tell you the truth. I mean consider their list of the most influential people in the country and in the world. Some who have made that list? Yours truly. That oughta tell ya something right there regarding the credence we should give Time magazine and their list of people," she said Wednesday on Fox News.
Managing editor Richard Stengel wrote Obama deserved the recognition because he "forged a new majority, turned weakness into opportunity and sought, amid great adversity, to create a more perfect union."
But Palin, who along with 2008 GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, lost to the Democratic presidential ticket four years ago, said "those are some silly words chosen to describe Barack Obama."
"When I first heard that, the first thing that popped in my mind was: What the heck has he done? Really, what has he done, except drive us over a fiscal cliff," she said. "What has he done to unify and make our nation a more perfect union? For the life of me, I don't know."
The former Alaska governor was chosen as one of the magazine's most influential people in 2009 and held a top spot on the same list in 2010. She was also considered one of four runners-up for "Person of the Year" in 2008, when Obama first received the title, and as someone "who mattered" in 2010.
She argued that "the path towards a perfect union is our Constitution" but said Obama "sees it as a charger of negatives" that needs serious changes.
Palin stoked speculation for much of 2011 as she considered a presidential bid but ultimately decided to stay out of the running. She largely stayed out of the presidential race, instead choosing to campaign for conservative Senate candidates in GOP primary battles.

[What's New in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5] [Julieanne Kost] Hi, and welcome. My name is Julieanne Kost. And in the next few minutes, we're gonna take a look at the new Upright perspective correction in Lightroom. It's gonna help us to correct common problems such as tilted horizons and converging verticals in buildings. And the best thing about it is that it does it for us automatically. So, let's take this first image here, move over to the Develop module, and I'm going to move down to the Lens Correction area. Now, you'll notice there's a new Basic panel. And the first options here— the Enable Profile Correction and Remove Chromatic Aberration— those are actually the same options that you would see in the Profile area and the Color area. It's just that we've put them here as well, to encourage you to enable them when you're using the Upright feature. Because after they're enabled, the Upright feature can actually perform better math. All right, so for this first image right here, all I really want to do is level it. So I'll come down and just click on the level button, and sure enough, it's leveled it. Excellent. Let's move to the next image right here. So here, with this image, we can see that typical keystoning problem that we have when we're photographing buildings. In order to correct this, again, we've gotta turn on those first two options. And then, I'm going to check this middle one, the Vertical option. And sure enough, Lightroom is going to correct the perspective of the building. And you can see that all of these lines here are now in fact vertical. In fact, if we wanted to see an overlay, we can toggle that on using Option-Command-O, or Alt-Ctrl-O on Windows, or if you want to go into the View menu, you can just come down here to Loupe Overlay, and show that Loupe Overlay. And as we can see, the lines in our building are straight. Now, here's a little shortcut— if you hold down the Command key, you'll notice that this menu here at the top pops up. And if I position my cursor over either of the words Size or Opacity, and I hold down the cursor and drag left to right with my scrubby sliders, you can see that I can interactively change the opacity as well as the size of that grid. All right, let's toggle that off. I'm going to use the shortcut, Option-Command-O or Alt-Ctrl-O. The only problem here is that I don't actually think the image looks correct. I mean, optically, it's been fixed, but it's just not how I would actually perceive the building from that vantage point. So what I'm gonna do instead of using the Vertical option, is I'm going to click on Auto. And now you can see that Lightroom's doing a much more balanced correction, and it just kind of looks a lot more natural. And of course, if that's not the goal— if the goal is to have an optically straight vertical line— then obviously we would come back to Vertical. One thing to notice, when I do click Vertical, is that Lightroom had to pinch in the bottom of this image, so we're getting these white areas here. Of course, I can check on Constrain Crop in order to have Lightroom automatically crop the image down so that we don't see those. But if I wanted to refine this, of course, I could just tap the R key, which would give me the Crop tool. And then I could make my changes to the Crop tool, and reposition it as needed. I'll tap Enter or Return in order to apply that. And of course, we know that's a non-destructive crop, so I'm not actually damaging the image, neither using the Crop tool, nor using the Lens Correction Upright features. All right, now we'll move to this third image here. Again, I want to enable those first two options. And here, let's just walk through the different Upright modes. So, here we have Auto, and it does a nice, kind of gentle correction. We have Level, which just tries to level it, which doesn't really work in this image, in this case. We have Vertical, where sure enough, we now have straight vertical lines in the image. But this last one, this Full option, actually does a full 3D correction of your image. Now, one of the things that you might notice when you use this Full option, is that if you have subjects in your image— for example, people or animals— it can really distort them, and it can make them look really unnatural. So, over in the Manual panel, you'll notice that we still have all the Manual options that you can tweak, plus a new one called Aspect. And the Aspect slider, if we move it to the left, you can see that our image is going to appear a little bit shorter and wider, and if we move it over to the right, you can see that the image appears a little bit taller and a little bit narrower. So a lot of times, when you are in this Basic panel, and you click on the Full 3D Upright correction, sometimes, maybe an animal's legs will get too short or too long, so you can go in into the Manual area, and just use that Aspect slider in order to correct it. Now, we should talk about applying the Upright corrections to multiple images, because there's basically two different scenarios. So, I'll go ahead and select this range of images right here by just selecting them in the Film Strip, and we'll move back to the Basic panel. Now, the first scenario kind of assumes that you have a bunch of images, but they're really not related in any way, and you just want to do, say, an Auto correction on all of them. So, I'll go ahead and check on the first two options, and then click Auto. But of course, that's only applying the Upright mode to the visible image right here. To apply that to all of the rest of them, I would want to click the Sync button. And you'll notice that there are two different options here in Sync. I can either sync the Upright mode or the Upright transforms. I don't actually want to apply the Upright transforms— those are the specific numeric values. I just want to apply the Upright mode. So when I select that and I click Synchronize, what Lightroom's gonna do, is it's going to go and analyze each one of these images independently, and apply an Auto correction based on the analysis of the image. So that's how you would apply Upright to a bunch of images that aren't related. But there might be times when you have images that are related. Maybe you've taken a sequence of images either for a time-lapse or for HDR. So this time, I'll select this image, which is just in the middle of this range of exposures here of the exact same scene. And I'm going to turn on the first two options, and then I will choose the Vertical option here. Now, I want to apply these exact same transformations to the other images in the sequence. So I'll select them all, and this time, when I click on Sync, instead of just applying the mode, I actually want these exact Upright transformations. Now, I'll hit Synchronize, and the exact same math will be applied to each image. Which means that if I do play these back in a sequence or if I merge them on top of each other, they will all line up. Excellent. There's two more things that I just want to mention. If you do have the option, it's best to run Upright on a raw file, because in the raw file, we can take advantage of the metadata, such as the focal length, so you'll get better results. And the other thing is, if you've gone in and you've cropped your image first, or you've gone over to these Manual settings over here and you've added maybe a Vertical or a Horizontal correction, when you go to the Basic panel and you do choose one of the Upright modes, Lightroom's actually going to remove those Manual corrections, because it's gonna do a better job running Upright on the original image, as opposed to what you've manually corrected. Of course, you can go in there afterwards and recrop the file, or you can go back over to the Manual area and you can readjust them. And in fact, if you are in that situation where you just don't want Lightroom to touch any of the manual corrections, there is a shortcut—if you just hold down the Option key on the Mac, or the Alt key on Windows, when you click, in the Basic panel, on one of the Upright modes, Lgihtroom will leave all of your manual corrections alone. It will leave them applied to the image, and run the Upright on top of that. Well, excellent. That is everything you need to know about the Upright perspective correction in Lightroom. My name's Julieanne Kost. Thanks for joining me. [Adobe]

FLASHBACK: Don McLean's 'American Pie' Hits Number One
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
It was 41 years ago today (January 15th, 1972) that Don McLean's "American Pie" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the first week of it's four week run. The song is the origin of the term "the day the music died," about the February 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, but that's only a small part of what it's about.
McLean was a huge Holly fan growing up, and he was deeply moved by Holly's death, but says that it's merely the starting off point of what "American Pie" is about: "The fact that Buddy Holly seems to be the primary thing that people talk about when they talk about 'American Pie' is, is kind of sad. It's only the beginning is about Buddy Holly, and the rest of it goes on and talks about America and politics and the country, and trying to catch some kind of a special feeling that I had about my country, especially in 1970 and '71, when it was very turbulent."
Although Buddy Holly only plays a small role in the song's story, McLean is still proud that "American Pie" had a lot to do with the latter-day interest in Holly and his music: "The event became an enormous thing, if I may say so, with all due respect to myself, because of the song 'American Pie.' If you talk to (author) John Goldrosen, who wrote the book about Buddy Holly, nobody was interested in him -- no one wanted the book that he wrote, which ended up being able to be published because of my song. If you talk to (Holly's wife) Maria Elena, they will tell you that Buddy got more publicity after I wrote my song than he'd ever gotten in his life. So, that's just the way it was. I know it sounds self-serving, but if you check it out, you will find that out, and that started the whole thing going."
McLean's followup single "Vincent" was a tribute to another of his favorite artists, painter Vincent Van Gogh. "Vincent" and its B-side "Castles In The Air" peaked at Number 12 in 1972.
In March, a career-spanning documentary on McClean, called American Troubadour, will premiere on PBS.

No holiday season is complete without Charles Dickens's timeless tale of redemption starring the tightfisted Mr. Scrooge, the long-suffering Bob Cratchit, kindhearted Tiny Tim, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. But A Christmas Carol was only the first and most famous of Dickens's holiday tales. In this edition, everyone's favorite misanthrope appears in company with four more Dickens stories—The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and The Haunted Man—that further develop the Chistmas spirit Dickens did so much to invent.

Plug-Ins and Libraries
You can download and install plug-ins or libraries to add extra functionality to Audacity. Plug-ins can give you extra effects, or more audio generation and analysis capability. Adding libraries can allow you to import or export additional audio formats.
Plug-In Installation
To install new LADSPA or Nyquist plug-ins, place them in the Plug-Ins folder inside the Audacity installation folder. On Windows computers, this is usually under "Program Files". On Mac OS X, it is usually under "Applications". On Linux, you can use various plug-in locations. Restart Audacity, then the addded plug-ins will appear underneath the divider in the "Effect", "Generate" or "Analyze" menus.
Audacity has built-in support for LADSPA plug-ins. These plug-ins are mostly built for Linux, but some are available for other operating systems too. Audacity includes some sample LADSPA effects. Windows users can install an additional set of over 90 LADSPA plug-ins. There is a similar set of LADSPA plug-ins for Mac. More information and many LADSPA plug-ins for Linux can be found on the LADSPA web site.
LV2 Plug-Ins
Audacity has built-in support for LV2 plug-ins, which are an extensible successor of LADSPA effects. LV2 plug-ins are mostly built for Linux, but Audacity supports LV2 on all operating systems. To install LV2 plug-ins, place them in the system LV2 location then restart Audacity.
Audacity has built-in support for Nyquist effects on all operating systems. You can download additional Nyquist plug-ins, or create your own using the Nyquist programming language. Nyquist code can be tested using "Nyquist Prompt" under the Effect menu, or code for Nyquist plug-ins that generate audio can be quickly tested with Nyquist Generate Prompt.
Audacity can load VST effects (but not VST instruments) on all operating systems. The VST Enabler is no longer required. Enable "Rescan VST effects" in the Effects Preferences and restart Audacity when you want to add new effects. See "How do I install VST plug-ins?" for more information.
VST effects can be found on many plug-in sites such as:
The VST Plug-ins page on the Audacity Wiki contains further help for VST plug-ins, and lists a large number of VST plug-ins that have been reported to work well in Audacity.
Audio Unit Plug-Ins
On Mac OS X only, Audacity loads Audio Unit plug-ins from system plug-in directories. Audacity will not recognize any Audio Units in its own "plug-ins" folder.
The LAME MP3 encoding library allows Audacity to export audio in the popular MP3 format. To install the LAME library, please read our LAME FAQ.
The FFmpeg import/export library allows Audacity to import and export many additional audio formats such as AC3, AMR(NB), M4A and WMA, and to import audio from video files. Audacity 2.0.6 and later requires FFmpeg 1.2 to 2.3.x (or libav 0.8 to 0.10.x). To install FFmpeg, please read our FFmpeg FAQ.

We've all got favourite numbers and some of us even go as far as thinking some numbers lucky or unlucky. Seven is probably one that crops up quite a lot in this context, so it's nice to know that it really is a lucky number. No, seriously, that's true! There is a mathematical recipe for finding lucky numbers, and 7 is one of them.
The recipe goes like this. Write down all the positive whole numbers starting from 1. First, you eliminate all even numbers, leaving only the odds:
The next number on the list after 1 is 3, so you now go and eliminate every third number, leaving:
The next surviving number after 3 is 7, so you eliminate every 7th number in the list of survivors. And so on. When you've finished this process the sequence of surviving numbers starts:
These surviving numbers are called lucky numbers. They are similar to the prime numbers in some ways. There are infinitely many of them, and they are the result of a sieving process (successively eliminating numbers) similar to the sieve of Eratosthenes which sieves out primes. When you try and approximate the distribution of the lucky numbers among the other numbers as you move up the number line, the result is akin to the prime number theorem. The lucky numbers even have their own version of the Goldbach conjecture, which states that any odd number greater than 4 can be written as the sum of two primes. One thing that isn't known, though, if whether there are infinitely lucky numbers that are also prime, or only finitely many.
All this doesn't make 7 lucky in the everyday sense of the word — but it makes us feel very lucky to have so many numbers to play with!

Now here's an important mathematical question: how likely are you to win the lottery?
1 in 14 million.
In the UK lottery you have to choose 6 numbers out of 49, and for a chance at the jackpot you need all of your 6 numbers to come up in the main draw. So the question is really how many possible combinations of 6 numbers can be drawn out of 49? There are 49 possibilities for the first number, 48 for the second, and so on, to 44 possibilities for the sixth number, so there are 49x48x47x46x45x44=10,068,347,520 ways of choosing those six numbers... in that order.
But we don't care which order our numbers are picked, and the number of different ways of ordering 6 numbers are 6x5x4x3x2x1=6! =720: there are six possibilities for the number that comes first in the list, 5 for the number that comes second, and so on. Therefore our six numbers are one of 49x48x47x46x45x44/6! = 13,983,816 so we have about a one in 14 million chance of hitting the jackpot. Hmmm...
But on a brighter note, we have just discovered a very useful mathematical fact: the number of combinations of size (sets of objects in which order doesn't matter) from a larger set of size is:
This sort of argument lies at the heart of combinatorics, the mathematics of counting. It might not help you win the lottery, but it might keep you healthy. It is used to understand how viruses such as influenza reproduce and mutate, by assessing the chances of creating viable viruses from random recombination of genetic segments.

Triangles do it, squares do it, even hexagons do it — but pentagons don't. They just won't fit together to tile your bathroom wall. That's the reason why you'll find it very difficult to find pentagonal tiles in any hardware shop.
It's actually really easy to see why pentagons won't tile the plane. We are talking regular pentagons here, shapes that have five sides of equal length and angles between them. In a regular pentagon the internal angle between two sides is 108°. In a regular tiling, adjacent tiles share whole edges, rather than just parts of edges, so corners of tiles meet corners of other tiles. To fit a number of tiles around a corner point, their internal angles must add up to 360°, since that's a full turn. If you try to fit three pentagons, you only get 3 x 108° = 324°, so there is a gap. If you fit four pentagons, you get 4 x 108° = 432°, so two of them overlap. The same isn't true for equilateral triangles, squares, or regular hexagons. Here the internal angles are 60°, 90° and 120° respectively, so you can fit six triangles, four squares and three hexagons around a corner point. (You can try and work out for yourself if any other regular polygons can give you a regular tiling.)
Three pentagons arranged around a point leave a gap, and four overlap. Image: Craig Kaplan.
If pentagons don't work can we perhaps use other shapes with five-fold symmetry to tile the plane? Find out more in The trouble with five.

Remember maps? In the old days, before smart phones and satnavs, we used to use them to get around. They posed quite a few problems, including folding them and understanding them. To help with the latter, map makers often use different colours to colour adjacent regions, be they countries, counties, or parts of a city. And pretty much since the beginning of map making, they have known that they will never need more than four colours to colour a whole map. It's something that's so blindingly obvious once you start playing with a few maps, it should be easy to prove mathematically: when colouring a map drawn on a flat piece of paper, four colours will always suffice.
The US in four colours. Image: Wikipedia.
Mathematicians first set themselves the task back in 1852, and it proved a massive headache. It took 24 years for the first proof to be announced, only to be found faulty another eleven years later. Then it took another 86 years, until 1976, until the mathematicians Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken came up with a second proof. They first supposed that there are maps that need five colours, from which you can then choose one that has the smallest number of countries. They then showed that such a minimal map must contain one of 1,936 possible configurations; and they also proved that every one of these possible configurations can be reduced into a smaller configuration which also needs five colours. This is a contradiction because they assumed that they had already started with the smallest five-colour map. When you find a contradiction you can deduce that your initial assumption, that there are maps that need five colours, is false.
This sounds good, but there was a hitch. The part of their proof which showed that these 1,936 configurations could be reduced was done by a computer, which simply ploughed through every configuration and checked it. No human being could in their lifetime ever actually read the entire proof to check that it was correct. This caused an outcry: if nobody can check it, how can we ever know it doesn't contain a mistake? Can mathematics ever be done by computers?
The proof has since been improved and verified independently (by computers), so most people are quite happy to consider the result proven. The question of whether computer proofs can ever be considered sound, however, is still a hot one.

Here's a little game to play. Take the interval from 0 to 1, including the end points. Now delete the middle third of this interval, from 1/3 to 2/3, but without deleting the two end points 1/3 and 2/3. Then delete the middle thirds of the two intervals that are left, [0,1/3] and [2/3,1], again without deleting the end points. Keep going, deleting middle thirds ad infinitum — well, you can't really do this in practice, but you can imagine it. What will you be left with in the end?
Seven steps towards C.
Let's call the set of left-over points C. Clearly, C contains the end points of middle third intervals because these don't get removed: 0, 1, 1/3, 2/3, 1,9, 2/9, 7/9, 8/9, and so on. But other points are left too. For example, 1/4 does not get removed at the first step because it's less than 1/3, it does not get removed at the second step either because it's bigger than 2/9, and so on.
Does C contain any intervals at all? It's pretty easy to convince yourself that it doesn't: any line segment, no matter how tiny, will have been broken up by having its middle third removed. C is what's called totally disconnected because all its connected components are just points.
But these points are not isolated. If you draw a little circle around any point x in C, then no matter how small the circle, it will contain other points of C. For example, take the point 0. Arbitrarily close to it there is a point of the form 1/3k for some k, which is in C because it's the end point of a middle third interval. The fact that every point has other points arbitrarily close to it makes C into a perfect set.
All this means that C inhabits a strange world between dimensions. It's more than a collection of isolated points, which has dimension 0, and less than a line, which has dimension 1. If you calculate its Hausdorff dimension, which is an extension of our usual concept of dimension, the answer is ln(2)/ln(3)=0.63, which is between 0 and 1 as expected.
The Menger sponge. Image: Niabot.
The set C is also self-similar. For example, if you take the part of C contained in some tiny interval [0,1/3k] and blow it up, what you get looks exactly the same as C itself. Being self-similar and having a dimension that's not a whole number makes C into a fractal.
C has a name too: it's called the middle-thirds Cantor set, after Georg Cantor, who wrote about it in 1883, although it had previously been discovered by Henry John Stephen Smith. Cantor was one of the first people to give a rigorous description of a fractal, though the term "fractal" was not coined until almost 100 years later by Benoit Mandelbrot.
Cantor sets often turn up in mathematics when things are being broken up according to the same recipe ad infinitum. For example, you can create a similar construct in two dimensions by dividing a square up into nine smaller squares and repeatedly removing the middle one. The result is called the Sierpinski carpet, which has a Hausdorff dimension of ln(8)/ln(3)=1.892. The three-dimensional analogue is the Menger sponge.

Will he rocket to the lead? (Most excellent tortoise suit by Katie Bradley.)
Achilles and a tortoise are competing in a 100m sprint. Confident in his victory, Archilles lets the tortoise start 10m ahead of him. The race starts, Achilles zooms off and the tortoise starts bumbling along. When Achilles has reached the point A from where the tortoise started, it has crawled along by a small distance to point B. In a flash Achilles reaches B, but the tortoise is already at point C. When he reaches C, the tortoise is at D. When he's at D, the tortoise is at E. And so on. He's never going to catch up with the tortoise, so he has no chance of winning the race.
Something's wrong here, but what? Let's assume that Achilles is ten times faster than the tortoise and that both are moving at constant speed. In the times it takes Achilles to travel the first 10m to point A, the tortoise, being ten times slower, has only moved by 1m to point B. By the time Achilles has travelled 1m to point B, the tortoise has crawled along by 0.1m to point C. And so on. After n such steps the tortoise has travelled
This problem is known as one of Zeno's paradoxes after the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno, who used paradoxes like this one to argue that motion is just an illusion.
