The present invention is related to a pull rod-type foldable chair structure.
There are various kinds of foldable chairs. The early foldable chairs are made of wooden material. The later foldable chairs made of metal and plastic materials instead of the wooden material. The metal-made foldable chair has heavy weight and tends to rust. Therefore, the metal-made chair needs baking finish. This leads to high cost. Accordingly, it is trend to manufacture the chair frame of the foldable chair from aluminum alloy. However, the metal-made foldable chair has limited plasticity so that it is hard to manufacture the metal-made foldable chair with curved pattern. Therefore, it is developed to manufacture the seat and back of the foldable chair from plastic material by molding. The molded seat and back are assembled with chair frame made of metal or aluminum alloy so as to achieve solid curved pattern of the chair.
However, the conventional foldable chairs still have some shortcomings as follows:
1. The foldable chair lacks buffing design. Therefore, when folding or unfolding the foldable chair, the front and rear chair legs often instantaneously stretches or collapses. Therefore, a user, especially a child is very easy to be clamped and injured by the foldable chair.
2. In the case that the foldable chair is equipped with an oil cylinder to avoid instantaneous folding or unfolding, the cost will be too high and the foldable chair will have too heavy weight.
3. It is troublesome to assemble the seat and back with the chair frame of the foldable chair. Moreover, the fixing screws often protrude from the chair frame to ruin the appearance of the chair.
4. It is troublesome to assemble the seat and back of the foldable chair so that the production efficiency is lowered.
5. When stored, generally the foldable chairs are upright leant on each other. Therefore, the foldable chairs will occupy much room.
6. The foldable chairs cannot be horizontally stacked. In the case that the foldable chairs are horizontally stacked, they tend to slip and fall down. This may lead to damage of the chairs or even injury of persons.
7. The ground-contacting blocks of the foldable chair are hard. Such hard ground-contacting blocks tend to scrape wooden and plastic floorboard.
8. The frictional force between the hard ground-contacting blocks of the foldable chair and the ground is weak. Therefore, the foldable chair tends to slip on the ground.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a pull rod-type foldable chair structure in which the chair frame, the seat and the back can be quickly assembled. The transverse beam of the chair leg is equipped with elastic ground-contacting blocks. Therefore, the chair can be used on any floorboard made of any material such as wooden, plastic and stone floorboards. The ground-contacting block will not scrape the floorboard and the chair can be more stably placed on the ground.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
Please refer to
The bottom transverse beam of the front chair leg
The bottom transverse beam of the rear chair leg

According to the above arrangement, the present invention has the following advantages:
1. The rear chair leg is pivotally connected with the front chair leg via the pull rod. Therefore, when folding or unfolding the rear chair leg, the pull rod
2. The pivot head
3. It is convenient and quick to assemble the seat
4. The back
5. The seat body
6. The quality of the chair is better.
7. The safety in use of the foldable chair is ensured.
The above embodiment is only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiment can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Find Out How Much Cafffeine Is Safe To Consume During Pregnancy And Breastfeeding, Including A Chart Of How Much Caffeine Is In Drinks And Foods.
Concerned about the affect of this jitter-inducing element on your growing fetus? Some studies have shown that consuming caffeine during pregnancy can:
-Cause reduced blood flow to the fetus
-Cross the placenta and affect your baby's cell development
-Slightly affect your sweet pea's birth weight
-Increase a newborns breathing rates and heart rates
-Result in miscarriage
So, how much caffeine is safe to consume when there's a bun in the oven?
Safe amounts of caffeine
The topic of caffeine consumption during pregnancy is still a little controversial within the medical community, but, "Most physicians agree that modest consumption of caffeine is fine," advises Dr. Ringland S. Murray, MD, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist Tennessee Reproductive Medicine.
The magic number? Try to cap caffeine use to 200-300 mg per day. "Study results are not entirely consistent; however, most studies show that more than 300 mg/day of caffeine is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of miscarriage," stays Dr. Murray.
According to our source, one regular 8 oz cup of drip coffee generally contains between 104-192 mg of caffeine, so stick to 1-2 cups per day. Decaf brewed coffee is a better bet, only containing a little caffeine, at 3-4 mg per cup. Iced tea contains 70 mg per 12 ozs (2-4 large 12 oz glasses is safe per day) and brewed tea contains 20-90 mg in 8 oz. Check the labels on tea to find out the exact caffeine content for your specific tea.
Hidden sources of caffeine
Did you know that coffee shop brews contain a lot more caffeine than home brewed coffees? Yet, drinking a cup of coffee or your favorite cola and you know that you are in for an "energy boost." But, some of your favorite treats may be hiding a little secret: they contain caffeine, too!
Coffee-flavored foods and drinks contain coffee; so do your favorite cola-flavored frozen drinks. Expectant mommies should always avoid herbal supplements, but be especially aware that guarana, yerba mate and kola nuts naturally contain caffeine.
Here are some other caffeine-containing foods and drinks:
A&W Cream Soda |
12 ounces |
29 mg |
Aquafina Alive Energize |
8 ounces |
46 mg |
Barq's Root Beer |
12 ounces |

Caffeine and breastfeeding
When consuming caffeine while breastfeeding, your baby gets a dose in the breast milk. Because an infant's liver cannot break down or get rid of caffeine, may accumulate in his tiny body over time. The caffeine can make both you and Baby a bundle of nerves instead of a bundle of joy, causing irritability and sleeplessness.
However, less caffeine reaches your baby during nursing than reaches your baby during pregnancy. According to Dr. Murray, "…during pregnancy caffeine freely crosses the placenta, but relatively little makes it into breast milk. A study by Ryu (Developmental Pharmacologic Therapy) showed that women who consume 750 mg caffeine per day secrete on average 4.3 micrograms caffeine per milliliter into breast milk."
Kicking the habit
Caffeine is an addictive element, so expect withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, sluggishness and irritability. Try these tips to help you kick the habit:
-Cut down the amount you drink over the course of a week
-Switch to decaf, but remember that decaf does not mean caffeine-free
-Trade your favorite treat for a lower-caffeine substitute
It's important to note that food and drink manufacturers only list caffeine if it has been added to the ingredients list. Naturally-occurring caffeine won't be on the label. So, if given the green light by your doctor, make sure to brush up on the caffeine contents of what you're eating and drinking and remember that the key is moderation!

"Good book, odd recording"
The story is interesting. As usual in a hard science fiction book, there's a fair amount of discussion of technicalities, but it's very interesting. Bear's writing style is a bit mechanical, he is in no way a prose stylist and his characters are a bit on the stiff side, but both are used well to drive the story. My only complaint is the recording itself. It sounds like it's been compressed to within an inch of its life, it occasionally sounds like its being read by a computer. It's also muffled sounding like it was first recorded on cassette. It's not horrible but its annoying, particularly if you listen on headphones.
"Powers Rocks"
Tim Powers is neither sci-fi nor fantasy (at least no in any conventional sense), he writes very interesting stories where impossible things happen. In Last Call, he's mixing cold war spy stories with old school middle eastern mythology, and pulls it off brilliantly. Pinchot would not be my first choice for this book but he does a very good job.

Members of the public blocked Oppanakkara Street on Sunday morning after a traffic policeman reportedly behaved in a highhanded manner with a car owner.
According to sources, the trouble started when the traffic policeman Jagadeesan attempted to forcibly remove the sunscreen stickers on professor Jagadeesh's car.
The sources said that the policeman had stopped Mr. Jagadeesh's car on Oppanakkara Street saying that the vehicle had sunscreen stickers that were in violation of rules. Mr. Jagadeesh reportedly told the policeman that he was on his way to church, was ready to pay the fine and thereafter remove the stickers.
But the policeman refused to pay heed to the explanation, the sources said and added that when he attempted to remove the stickers a wordy duel broke out between the two. It escalated when the policeman forcibly took away the car keys.
Members of the public who were there, rushed to support the professor and also joined him in arguing with the policeman.
They later squatted on the road affecting the flow of traffic. Senior police officers rushed to the spot to pacify the agitated public.
They also brokered a truce between the two.
The Police later said that the Mr. Jagadeesh prevented a government servant from discharging his duty.

Aperol Spritz Recipe
Aperol Spritz: Orange Soda All Grown Up
Like us on Facebook
Calling the Aperol Spritz — a classic Italian aperitif of Prosecco, Aperol, and sparkling water — the grown-up's answer to orange soda might be selling it a bit short, but it's an apt descriptor as it tastes not unlike a sophisticated spin on the childhood favorite. Aperol's main and most identifiable flavor is bitter orange, while Prosecco and sparkling water give the drink a fizzy lift. Combined, it's a tipple that's easy to drink, refreshing, and perfect for sipping as the sun sets on hazy Summer afternoons.
Adapted from Aperol
Aperol Spritz
Orange slice
3 parts Prosecco
2 parts Aperol
1 part sparkling water
- Add ice and a slice of orange to a glass. Pour in the Prosecco, then the Aperol, and finally the sparkling water. This order prevents the Aperol from settling at the bottom.

The DJ issue always tends to show us that DJs have some of the BIGGEST EGOS. Why should have to chase a DJ to do an interview? Wouldn't you think they would want the free promotion? I tend to dislike some DJs a little during the time it takes to put this issue together.
That's an odd feeling for me, cause I am usually a believer in the DJs. I lived with one of the best DJs, one of the few Big Dawg Pitbull DJs, my brother Jazzy Jim! He always made time for an interview. He knew that taking the time to do interviews would make him that much more popular. He knew how to turn the popularity and skills into MONEY.
DJs play the biggest role in the industry, hands down. The most important piece to breaking music is the DJ. The DJ relies on his reputation and respect. So, depending on the popularity and respect each DJ gets, they can help make or break music all day, every day!
Being a DJ is a very tough job. I always wanted to be a DJ, you know, the life of the party. I'm glad I chose another career. Instead of starting the parties, I capture them for everyone's memories. I feel like I have to deal with a lot of nonsense, being a photographer and the editor of OZONE's West Coast coverage. But as a DJ, it gets worse. You've got every level of artist that has no kind of business savvy running their mouth about being the BEST or the HOTTEST! Haven't you been told, "If your music speaks for itself, don't interrupt!"
If you feel like a DJ isn't supporting you the way they should, reflect on your interaction with them. I know I said DJs have EGOs, but their egos are nothing compared to that cocky artist who is claiming to be the greatest in the world without any evidence. No fans, no hits, no sales, and no money! So check your ego before you wreck yourself with some very important relationships that are needed to make you into that artist you already claim to be.
Good music is good music, period! It's undeniable. In the same way, you need to make your movement undeniable. If you're really the hottest thing in the streets and everyone loves your song, you wouldn't have to talk about it as much. The people would demand it. Shouts out to D-Lo from Oakland with the song "No Hoe!" It's a smash that started in his bedroom, neighborhood, and high school, and now it's on radio stations across the country.
If DJs are sleeping on you, guess what? It's your job to wake them up! The great DJs act on hits, but the sad thing is that most DJs only react to the same hits. Who is breaking the records? I often go to clubs and events and am blown away by how much the club sounds just like the radio. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around? I thought the club DJ was supposed to break the record and build the buzz so the artist could take it to radio. Now DJs at clubs act like they can't play anything that isn't already a radio hit. Well, you'll never know if you don't play it.
Because of my career, I spend a lot of time in the club, so I hear a lot of DJs spin. Some know how to build that crowd up to where they just can't take any more, while others mess up the mood or vibe by clearing the floor with the wrong record at the wrong time. There's a right way and a wrong way to play a new song in the club. Can they see what I see? It makes me wonder if they need glasses, cause I need earplugs!
Attention all DJs: we need you to keep breaking records. Be the leaders and the trendsetters. There's a lot of good music coming from the West Coast, ready to bring us back. We have some great talent out here, like Mistah FAB, Roccett, Jay Rock, Problem, Glasses Malone, Bad Lucc, Husalah, Tha Jacka, Crooked I, Nipsey Hussle, Damani, Nio Tha Gift, J Diggs, D Lo, Dem Hoodstarz, and so many more.
I could go on and on listing the new breed, not to mention the OGs that have been holding down the West Coast forever! Special shout out to DJ Quik & Kurupt for dropping a banging new album, Blaq Out. I see you hipsters! FIRE! Yes, the West is on FIRE! DJs, please take the time to listen to and break some new music. I know how hard it is to listen sometimes, but we as an industry depend on you to do just that; otherwise, no one is breaking records. You chose this career for yourself, so please get the passion back and love your job. You set the party mode through your speakers; we rely on you for that.
Don't be afraid to test new music in the club, especially if the artist is in the building. This is the perfect chance for an artist to show you when they have a hit record. It's now visual no longer speculation. Then it's not personal when you don't play it or do play it. Words aren't always heard, but the visual is undeniable! If all else fails, if you put that new song on and the dance floor clears, play a Michael Jackson record and that's guaranteed to bring the life back to your party!
Everyone is an artist today. There are no fans anymore. Let's be honest with ourselves. If this is your passion, run with it. But if it's a hobby, keep it in your hood! You're stopping real passion and talent from being heard. Believe that! Artists, do your part, and DJs, do yours. No need to stress if an artist stays in your face telling you, "YO, PLAY MY SONG! I'M NEXT TO BLOW!" If you don't have a fan base, save the GAS! Keep it movin'!

a few of my favourite things... {August 2011}
Those are my favourite (handmade) boots up there, bought about 8 years ago from a man sitting on the side of the road in Bangkok, Thailand. I look forward to wearing them every winter and miss them when the weather warms up. A few other things that I've been loving lately...
- This zine my good friend Mel has put together as part of my little Brother Ben's new business venture (more on Trash footwear when he gets his website up and running).
- Watch this magical little video. Absolutely beautiful.
- Hand dyed and made shoes. Loving the green.
- 18 ways to green your diet
- Gumaroy Newman. Love you my brother.
- Tiki Taane
- Dad's silo apartments and house are for sale, in Raglan, NZ (It's not really a favourite thing, it's going to be sad to see them go but if anyone is genuinely interested email me).
- I could and should read this everyday. You should too :-)
- I can't get enough of this song.
- I'd LOVE this.
- Smart mouth eats Auckland. (If you have a iphone that is, hrmm).
- seeker lover keeper. Classic videos too.
- Still trying to figure out how I'm going to make it too this... damn living a million miles away now.
- Amazing.
- Moore & Moore cafe. I think this is going to become our new local.
- Want to make this.

I love your lists, and I love the Life poster, and the feather ring, and the song, and the boys on the hang-drums, and the apartments... I could go on and on...I'd be too shy to go to the conference... :-)
Raglan was on tv last night, looking very beautiful. I thought of you while I was watching.Nice song! I'll have to work through this list slowly (perfect for the two minutes bursts I et at the computer anyways)
Noticed you're calling Moore + Moore's local - we must be near each other then. Are you interested in meeting up? Totally fine if not, I've never face-to-face met anyone I met through blogging - could be awful! Just ignore if weirded out or too busy (although I am curious to know if our sons are similar).Haidee~ It's gonna be great. Can't wait to share more.
Janet- oh don't be too shy to go to the conference! It will be great. xx
Leigh~ I've been thinking the same thing, would love to meet up! We aren't in Freo, but not too far from (I just like to pretend I live there, and dream of it, haha). Flick me a email and we'll sort out a play date for sure.
Anja, you're welcome :-)Pity I cannot see the pic of the vegan nutella, but personally I think that it is much better made with melted dark (dairy free) chocolate and hazelnut butter (blended toasted and peeled hazelnuts until they become a creamy butter). No need for oil, the nuts, if they are good, have plenty of oil.
Geeeee it would be great if you could make it to the conference :-).
Sweet recap on the blog now!I love your list! Wow, those boots are amazing. And they're that much better because other people can't just rock up to a chain store and get a pair. Favourite things lists make me happy. It's so nice to keep them and flick back to them when you are feeling blue. It's so easy to obsess over something for a moment and then forget about it when the next thing comes. I'm trying to talk myself into going to the conference. It's the day after my birthday so hey, I could make it a birthday present to myself.

Therapeutic management of type 1 diabetes before and during pregnancy. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 21329488 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy increases the risks of adverse outcomes for mother and infant in women with type 1 diabetes. Obtaining and maintaining adequate glycemic control during pregnancy is crucial for optimizing outcomes. AREAS COVERED: The importance of prepregnancy planning and treatment during pregnancy is reviewed. The use of insulin analogues and antihypertensive drugs in diabetic pregnancy are in focus. The reader is presented with evidence discussing the importance of prepregnancy counseling and treatment during pregnancy in women with type 1 diabetes. EXPERT OPINION: Tight glycemic control before and during pregnancy is crucial and the prevalence of severe hypoglycemia during pregnancy needs to be reduced. Rapid-acting insulin analogues are regarded as safe to use in pregnancy and studies on long-acting insulin analogues are in the pipeline. Supplementation with folic acid may reduce the risk of malformations. Screening for diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy and thyroid dysfunction is important, and indications for antihypertensive treatment and treatment of thyroid dysfunction need to be in focus before and during pregnancy. |

Comments: Super fast break in, and comfortable and light weight skate. Boots are stiff and
protective. I upgraded from the old Vapor XIV and i never missed a beat with these. Only
baked once and they felt like an old pair of skates already. I strongly recommend this skate
From: Joe
Comments: I was concerned with the break in of a new skate. I know it needs to be done, but
some skates are torturous to get comfy. Well, I am here to say that there is virtually NO
BREAK IN period for these skates. I baked them before the first skate and 4 skates later I have
yet to feel them on my feet. No blisters, no pain, none of the break in garbage. So...if this is
any kind of concern to you before buying, I hope I eased your mind a bit. Being a new skate, I
felt a bit awkward for about 10 minutes and that's it. Feels like I've been skating them for
The skate flies. Super light and responsive. You really feel the ice. Might not be but...I feel
much quicker and lighter on the ice. Two thumbs up!! Enjoy.

It's a shame because Nubs is a very knowledgeable poster imo. He's just way off base whenever he mentions this subject, as if we should just continue accepting poor to mediocre product and continue to line Ross' pockets no matter what. He knows damn well he wouldn't commit his money to any other industry if they consistently produced subpar performance for this long.
But it's sports, right? Just because it's sports, we should just disregard all of that and give up our money blindly? No thanks.

1: They clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, which puts them within two home wins of playing in the Super Bowl on Feb. 7 at Miami. The Colts have earned a bye for the first round of the playoffs and will host a conference semifinal on either Jan. 16 or 17.
22: They broke the NFL record for consecutive regular-season wins, set at 21 by the New England Patriots in 2006-08 and equaled by the Colts last week. The Colts last lost a regular-season game Oct. 27, 2008, at Tennessee, where the Titans won 31-21.
114: They broke the NFL record for most wins in a decade, set at 113 by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1990s and equaled by the Colts last week. The Colts began the decade Jan. 2, 2000, at Buffalo with a 31-6 loss to the Bills in the final game of the 1999 regular season. They have a 114-44 record with two games still to play this decade.
Perfection had its blemishes Sunday afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium. No wonder. It took a punch in the gut here, a forearm to the Adam's apple there and fell flat on its face mask more than once.
Each time it picked itself up. Each time it answered. It was the kind of afternoon a defensive player can love.
"That was fun; very emotional game," linebacker Gary Brackett said after contributing 12 tackles and a sack to the Indianapolis Colts' brutally competitive 28-16 throwdown of the Denver Broncos. "They were talking a little bit, so obviously you get the juices flowing. But we had a lot on the line to play well for."
There was 13-0, for one. The Colts are only the seventh team in the NFL's 86 years to tread that territory, but hold the parade. They play again Thursday, at Jacksonville, so they won't linger long to sort their trove of treasure, or as Brackett called it, "all that historical stuff."
It included:
Clinching the AFC's No. 1 seed, and with it, a first-round bye and home-field advantage through the conference championship game.
Breaking the NFL record for consecutive regular-season victories with 22. The Colts had shared the standard with New England (2006-08).
Running their record since the beginning of 2000 to 114-44, more victories than any team in any decade in league history. They had been tied at 113 with San Francisco (1990-99).
Winning their 13th consecutive regular-season home game, a club record. They won 12 straight from 2005-07.
The Colts already had clinched the AFC South title and their league-best eighth consecutive playoff appearance.
"The way we are around here, we love to win," Colts owner Jim Irsay said. "To have that type of greatness, it's something that's unprecedented. When you think about 20, 30, 80 years from now, people will be referring back to you, it's really special."
So was the defensive performance that made a fat early lead stand up, Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall's record day notwithstanding.
Quarterback Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes and the defense pitched in a couple of crucial short-yardage stops to put the Colts on top 21-0. But Denver's third-ranked defense hit back, and nothing came easily the rest of the way.
The Colts' next seven possessions netted 32 yards. There were four three-and-outs and three interceptions.
"Denver made some plays there," said Manning, who was 3-of-15 for 21 yards prior to the final drive. "I thought we had some bad luck; had a little tipped-ball action going, balls bouncing off helmets and going to them. Kind of weathered the storm."
Or the defense did. It held the fort. It has yet to yield a touchdown after any of the Colts' 18 turnovers.
"We'll feel it in the morning," safety Antoine Bethea said, "but that's our goal. Our team will take any punches."
The Colts stopped the Broncos on third-and-short. Twice they stuffed them on fourth down. They forced a couple of field goal attempts, one of which Matt Prater missed. Backup cornerback Tim Jennings killed another Denver drive with an interception at the 1.
Brackett, defensive lineman Raheem Brock and end Dwight Freeney each sacked Denver quarterback Kyle Orton, a former Purdue player who finished 29-of-41 for 277 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.
"I'm not certain I've seen a better defensive effort than what our guys put forth today," Colts coach Jim Caldwell said. "They were very, very tough."
Marshall caught an NFL-record 21 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns. At least the Colts kept him in front of them; his 9.5-yard average was acceptable.
Still, he brought the Broncos within 21-16 with a 5-yard touchdown catch from Orton with 9:44 to play.
The Colts offense finally stirred. On third-and-10 from the 20, Manning hit rookie wide receiver Austin Collie for 23 yards. It was the crucial play in a crucial series. The Colts ran off 14 plays, marched 80 yards, consumed 7:19 and made it 28-16 with 2:25 to play.
The clinching touchdown, like two before it, went to tight end Dallas Clark.
"I don't think I've ever done that besides backyard football," Clark said.
"Give credit to our defense. They . . . kept them contained in the red zone."
Manning completed 20-of-42 passes for 220 yards. Running back Joseph Addai caught five for 49 yards, Clark five for 43 and receiver Reggie Wayne four for 43.
It was quite a day. Wayne, like so many of his teammates, was deeply pleased but thoroughly restrained.
"We've been fortunate to have all these other records get in the way and we've been able to achieve them," he said. "It's a big pat on the back, but we've still got the ultimate goal."
That would be Super Bowl XLIV, Feb. 7 in South Florida.

DALLAS In only its first day, administrators estimate Dallas ISD teachers have claimed more than half of the district's $7 million fund to encourage educators to quit.
Many teachers camped outside the district's headquarters Friday evening to be among the first to to accept the offer of up $10,000 to resign at the end of the school year.
It's time to go, time to let some young people come in, said seventh grade reading teacher Kay Harris, who has been a teacher for 32 years. I've done my job well, so I leave with a big smile.
She'll also get a big check in July. The district is offering 15 percent of an employee's annual salary, not to exceed $10,000.
The offer drew nearly 500 educators on Saturday, the first day it was available.
It was a bigger turnout than we expected, said DISD human resources director Claudia Rodriguez. Administrators estimate they've already committed $4 million of the fund's $7 million.
Teachers who applied for the bonus should know within 48 hours if they are approved.
DISD is trying to thin its ranks because the state may cut $253 million from the district's budget a move that could lead to massive layoffs.
This process is certainly a less painful process than sitting in front of somebody and telling them we have to let them go, Rodriguez said.
Critics worry, however, that this offer is also pulling away the city's most experienced teachers. Those nearing retirement are likely to be among the most tempted to leave.
I think it will probably help, said math coach Sue Schwartz, who turned in her resignation after teaching for 43 years, but I also think they're losing a lot of their good tenured teachers.

Workshop Algebraic Statistics
Serkan Hosten (SFSU), Lior Pachter (UCB), Bernd Sturmfels (UCB)Algebraic statistics is a maturing discipline focused on the applications of algebraic geometry and its computational
tools in the study of statistical models. Initial results in the area were related to specific problems in categorial data analysis and experimental design, however
a flurry of activity during the past several years has greatly increased the scope of the subject. Areas of interest now include graphical models, maximum likelihood estimation and
Bayesian methods. Moreover, a strong connection has developed to applications in the physical and biological sciences. The field draws its tools not only from computational
algebraic geometry but also from tropical, convex, and information geometry. Moreover, research in algebraic statistics has led to new directions in those fields. The workshop
will be a meeting point for students and leaders in the field. It will present a focused activity parallel to the 2008-2009 program on Algebraic Methods in Systems Biology and Statistics being hosted by
the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute.Show All Collapse Dec 15, 2008

Workshop Using Partnerships to Strengthen Elementary Mathematics Teacher Education
Deborah Ball (University of Michigan), James Lewis (University of Nebraska), and William McCallum (University of Arizona)A core problem – perhaps the central problem – for improving elementary school mathematics is the mathematical education of elementary teachers. The historic isolation of elementary teachers' study of mathematics from their pedagogical preparation is increasingly seen to be both unnatural and ineffective. Indeed, the mathematical education of elementary teachers is inherently interdisciplinary as future teachers seek to gain the mathematical knowledge, the pedagogical knowledge and the knowledge of young students that is needed to become a successful mathematics teacher. Thus, it seems reasonable that an integrative learning approach to mathematical education of elementary teachers could yield substantial benefits.

Workshop Topology of Stratified Spaces
Greg Friedman, Eugénie Hunsicker, Anatoly Libgober, and Laurentiu MaximThis workshop will bring together researchers interested in the topology of stratified spaces. It will focus roughly on four topics: topology of complex varieties, signature theory on singular spaces, L2 and intersection cohomology, and mixed Hodge theory and singularities. Aside from talks on current research, there will be a series of introductory lectures on these themes. These talks will be aimed at strengthening the connections among the various topology research groups and the connections between topology researchers and researchers at the program on Analysis of Singular Spaces, running concurrently.

These are the main themes of this workshop whose format will be three one-hour lectures every day, two in the morning and one survey lecture in the afternoon (except for Friday). This survey lecture will be followed by a panel for experts, lead by the afternoon speaker and some other leaders of the field. The panel will discuss current developments and open problems and it can be extended into the late afternoon if so desired by the panelists.

Optimization of single-cycle terahertz generation in LiNbO3 for sub-50 femtosecond pump pulses |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 6, pp. 6826-6836 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1411 KB)
We compare different tilted-pulse-front pumping schemes for single-cycle THz generation in LiNbO3 crystals both theoretically and experimentally in terms of conversion efficiency. The conventional setup with a single lens as an imaging element has been found to be highly inefficient in the case of sub-50 fs pump pulses, mainly due to the resulting chromatic aberrations. These aberrations are avoided in the proposed new setup, which employs two concave mirrors in a Keplerian telescope arrangement as the imaging sequence. This partially compensates spherical aberrations and results in a ca. six times higher conversion efficiency in the case of 35-fs optical pump pulse duration compared to the single-lens setup. A THz field strength of 60 kV/cm was obtained using 0.5 mJ pump pulses. The divergence of the THz beam has been found experimentally to depend on the pump imaging scheme employed.
