Open Storage Appliances from Sun
Sun Microsystems has added three new members to its Storage 7000 family that include Open Source software.
Sun regards introduction of these units as a boon for small and large data capacities alike. For a company used to valuating the wide usage pattern of its products, it justifies its new storage appliances in terms of their cost-beneficial standard components, open source software, easy setup and low energy consumption.
The newcomers Sun Storage 7110, 7210 and 7410 are just the beginning, according to Sun's webpage, and more appliances and software components are to follow.
Sun views the feature-rich appliances as complete packages: unlimited snapshots, recovery, mirroring, replication, RAID-5, RAID-6, compression and thin provisioning are among the features.
The Common Internet File System (CFIS), Network File System (NFS), HTTP/FTP and WebDAV protocols are supported. Software updates are also included.
The smaller of the models, 7110, comes with 2 TBytes storage and costs around $10,000.
AppliancesI recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

The Design Process
Creating a custom design with Spark is a fun and easy process! Our stationery designs are fully customizable. We allow you to change the ink, paper, fonts and wording at no additional charge as long as you are selecting from our standard options. You may also make design changes such as changing the layout, adding new design elements or even mixing different Spark designs. Keep in mind that your changes may warrant a design fee.
The MOLLY invitation design above shows how the 1-color original design changed to a 2-color design with a different layout for the wording. Changing the layout of the wording would follow a 1/2 hour to 1 hour design fee at $100 per hour. The same fee would apply to a custom monogram or even the creation of wedding programs, for example, using the Molly design.
Every Spark design can be repurposed as needed. For example, the Molly design can be used for save the dates, programs and thank you notes. Don't worry if you don't see a certain item on our website, we simply can't show all that we have created online!
Once you select the design(s) you wish to use for your custom stationery order, the following steps take place.
The Design Process, Step by Step
Place Order. Complete order form and email text to Spark. Order details are discussed and priced and down payment is collected.
Design Proofs. Depending on the level of customization you want, the first Spark proof will be issued within 2-5 business days. Average timing is 2-3 business days. Changes can certainly be made at this point as you work one-on-one with a Spark designer.
Review & Approval. Please carefully review the proofs to ensure everything is spelled correctly and how you want it. We require your written approval (by email or fax) before we move your order into production.
Production & Shipping. Orders typically take 15-18 business days to print and finish prior to shipping.

The Magazine
Razing New Jersey
In which developers in league with city hall have come up with a curious definition of "blight."
Feb 13, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 21 • By JONATHAN V. LAST
Long Branch, New Jersey
Driving north on Ocean Avenue, you're never more than a few feet from the beach, and the small towns whip by quickly, each with its own peculiar character. There's the Richie Rich enclave of Sea Girt with its multimillion-dollar mansions next to the merely wealthy town of Spring Lake, with its million-dollar homes. There's middle-class Belmar and working-class Bradley Beach. A little further north is tiny Ocean Grove--where the town's Methodist Church owns the land and leases it to homeowners. Next comes Bruce Springsteen's crumbling hometown of Asbury Park, where the girls comb their hair in the rearview mirrors and the boys try to look so hard. Go a few more miles still, and you arrive in Long Branch.
Long Branch was once a thriving resort town. From the 1860s until World War I, seven different U.S. presidents summered there. In 1869, Winslow Homer painted Long Branch, New Jersey, depicting a pair of Victorian women on the bluffs overlooking the surf. But, as the years passed, Long Branch declined.
Part of the decline was an unexpected consequence of urban planning. In the 1960s, in neighboring Newark, the city fathers began to experiment with public housing. They bulldozed much of the heavily Italian First Ward to clear space for housing projects. Newark residents fled to the suburbs. Some could afford the ritzier towns in Monmouth County; those of more modest means chose places such as Long Branch. By 1965, the influx of working-class residents finished off much of what remained of Long Branch's resort culture. Downtown businesses moved out, and the town went into further decline, which wasn't helped when, in 1987, the town's last tourist attraction, a large pier on the boardwalk, was destroyed in a fire.
Today, however, Long Branch is on the brink of a rebirth. Young people with wads of disposable income are flocking to it; upscale businesses--trendy coffee shops and hip designer boutiques--are back. These victories are the fruits of 12 years of planning done by the mayor, city council, and a consortium of local businesses. It is a testament to the power of eminent domain, as blighted old neighborhoods were bought up and cleared to make way for the new developments. But, while Long Branch may look like a success story, it is actually a cautionary tale.
The traditional American understanding of eminent domain is summed up in the text of the Fifth Amendment, which places two limits on the power of federal and state governments to take private property. Land can be taken only "for public use"--a new highway, for instance--and it cannot be taken "without just compensation." Last year, in a controversial 5-4 decision known as Kelo v. New London, the Supreme Court upheld the extremely elastic definition of "public use" that undergirds most modern urban renewal schemes--namely, that a private developer's promise of "increased tax revenue" counts as a "public purpose." In other words, simplifying only slightly, the government can compel you to sell your house to a developer who promises to build a more expensive one. In the wake of the Kelo decision, Long Branch is a case study in what the use--and the abuse--of eminent domain means to middle-class America.
WHEN THINGS WENT AWRY for Long Branch after the 1960s, the city of 31,000 hollowed out. Drugs became rampant, much of the town fell into disrepair, crime took hold. It got so bad that, on February 21, 1994, in the middle of a heated mayoral election, a drug-related riot broke out, with a crowd of 300 residents throwing bottles, vandalizing cars, injuring two police officers, and burning down two vacant homes. Five rioters were arrested, and Mayor Adam Schneider was forced to declare a curfew. Schneider won reelection in 1994 and is still mayor today. From that hotly contested race, the plan to redevelop Long Branch was born.
Schneider had long been a proponent of redevelopment, and in 1994 the stars began to align. The Monmouth County beaches, diminished from years of erosion, were about to get a facelift, courtesy of the Army Corps of Engineers. A group of some 40 local businessmen headed by Robert Furlong, who owned a number of local clothing businesses, had just established a private redevelopment arm, Long Branch Tomorrow, to help goose the process.

The Argyll and Bute region
Argyll is everything you would imagine the west coast of Scotland to be – and more, making it the perfect place for your holiday. It's wild and remote, with hills, glens, rugged coast, white beaches, sea lochs, clear waters and ancient forests.
The ferry trip across the Firth of Clyde is a fine introduction to the Cowal Peninsula. To the north the mountains surrounding the sea lochs of Long and Goil provide a stunning backdrop as the ferry arrives at the busy town of Dunoon, Cowal's principal community. Built around two sheltered bays, and with wonderful views over the water, Dunoon is also the seaboard gateway to the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
Dunoon is the lively gathering place for the whole Cowal area. The town offers a museum and leisure centre as well as a fascinating selection of craft shops, galleries, and cafes. The opportunity to take a pleasure cruise amidst the breath-taking coastal scenery of the Firth of Clyde should not be missed.

Putting back pieces of children's lives
Preschool helps 3-to 5-year-olds from violent homes
What: A preschool for children who come from homes with domestic violence.
Where: Chula Vista
How to help: Mi Escuelita can use donations of food and school supplies. It also needs baby sitters to watch children during evening parenting classes.
Contact: Patty Chavez at South Bay Community Services, (619) 591-2362, email@example.com, or visit southbaycommunity....
Chula Vista There are children who need a second chance by preschool.
They are kids nearly mute from trauma. Kids underweight from adult-level stress suppressing their appetites.
They are the 3-to 5-year-old victims of domestic violence. The lucky ones – if you can call anything about their situation lucky – attend a special school in Chula Vista created for them. At Mi Escuelita Therapeutic Preschool, therapists and teachers begin to put the pieces back together before a child grows and the pieces don't fit anymore.
South Bay Community Services has for years run a shelter for battered women. Three years ago, it opened the preschool for their children.
"We also have to take care of the people who witness these things, especially when they're little kids," Executive Director Kathryn Lembo said while giving a tour of the center at the back of the Rice Elementary School campus.
South Bay Community Services believes Mi Escuelita is the only therapeutic preschool in the county. A team from Rady Children's Hospital visits monthly to gauge children's needs and to offer occupational therapy.
In preschool, that's a series of activities that help children control their movements and respond properly to sounds, sights and feels. On a recent Tuesday, it included jumping through hula hoops without spilling beans from cups held in each hand.
Research cited by the South Bay nonprofit indicates that boys who witness domestic violence double their odds of being an abuser as an adult. Children exposed to violence at home are also more likely to have nightmares, wet the bed or suffer from asthma, headaches and the flu.
A violent home life can contribute to developmental delays in children that become apparent when they enter kindergarten without knowing how to hold a pencil properly, to use scissors, to open doors with rotating handles or to manage the zippers and buttons on their clothes.
The therapy and schooling also help with basics such as sharing and not hitting others.
Those are things that Hector Lua, 4, was having trouble mastering, said his mother, Lelani Ohler.
"All of that got better when he started here," she said.
At Mi Escuelita, Hector gets cared for by people with the expertise and patience to handle his difficulties.
"They have ways of explaining things to him that sometimes I can't find the words for," Ohler said.
Hector attends a full day of preschool with 44 other children. It's free, and families find their way to Mi Escuelita through referrals from the foster care system, child protective services and other places children wouldn't choose to be.
South Bay Community Services documented improvements in Mi Escuelita's students last year in mental development, social skills and behaviors such as sharing and conflict resolution. The organization also reported reductions in tantrums and bullying.

Hughes' Ion Propulsion System to Drive NASA's Deep Space 1.
When NASA's Deep Space 1 spacecraft is launched from Cape Canaveral this month, it will carry a revolutionary ion propulsion system designed with NASA and manufactured by Hughes Electron Dynamics Division, a unit of Hughes Electronics Corp.
The NASA Solar Electric Power Technology Application Readiness (NSTAR) 30-centimeter system, consisting of an ion thruster, power processor, and digital control and interface units, was designed specifically to support NASA's future requirements. It is being validated by the New Millennium Deep Space 1 project.
Unlike its commercial satellite counterpart that uses a xenon ion propulsion system, XIPS (pronounced "zips"), for north-south stationkeeping and for orbit raising, the NSTAR system will be the primary propulsion system for the Deep Space 1 spacecraft.
The Deep Space 1 spacecraft may be the first of several to use the NSTAR system. Under the $8.1 million contract that was awarded by NASA to Hughes Electron Dynamics Division in 1995, two flight thrusters, and associated power processor and digital control and interface units, were produced.
The advantage of ion propulsion is efficiency. Ion propulsion is 10 times more efficient than chemical thrusters. This translates into a reduction of propellant mass of up to 90%. For commercial communications satellites, the reduced propellant mass creates an option to reduce launch cost, increase payload, or increase satellite lifetime, or any combination of the above.
For Deep Space 1, the improved propellant efficiency of the NSTAR system results in a lighter spacecraft that will reach its destination in half the time. Deep Space 1 is currently scheduled to reach the near-Earth asteroid 1992 KD in July 1999.
By Oct. 1999, Deep Space 1 will have completed its primary mission and will be on a trajectory that could result in an encounter with Comets Wilson-Harrington and Borelly in 2001.
"XIPS is the result of more than 40 years or research by Hughes and NASA. The NSTAR 30-centimeter system was designed to meet very specific operational parameters," said Tim Fong, manager of Hughes Electron Dynamics Division.
"The NSTAR ion propulsion system on Deep Space 1 requires operation over a wide range of thrust and input power, since the solar power available drops significantly as the spacecraft goes further away from the sun. This NSTAR system is remotely programmable, allowing NASA to adjust its thrust to meet these changing conditions over the life of the mission."
In addition to the 30-centimeter NSTAR system designed for NASA, Hughes Electron Dynamics Division also produces two commercial XIPS systems: a 13-centimeter unit that is an option on the HS 601 spacecraft built by Hughes Space and Communications Co., and a 25-centimeter version that will debut on Hughes' first HS 702 in early 1999.
Hughes Electron Dynamics Division built the first commercial XIPS system, which was launched Aug. 28, 1997, on PAS-5, an HS 601HP satellite for PanAmSat Corp.
Hughes Electron Dynamics Division is a world leader in the design and manufacture of microwave, traveling wave-tube amplifiers, and ion thrusters for commercial and military applications. The earnings of Hughes Electronics are used to calculate the earnings per share attributable to GMH (NYSE symbol) common stock.

President Emomali Rahmon was re-elected to a fourth term in office in November in an election that lacked meaningful political competition. Oinihol Bobonazarova, the only genuine independent candidate, was forced to exit the race prematurely in October after the authorities interfered with her campaign and intimidated her relatives and supporters. During the lead-up to the election, authorities widened a crackdown on freedom of expression, imprisoned opposition leaders, shut down a leading nongovernmental organization (NGO), and stepped up efforts to extradite political opponents from abroad.
The government also persisted with enforcing a repressive law on religion, restricting media freedoms, and pressuring civil society groups. There were widespread complaints by NGOs of the authorities' use of torture to obtain confessions.
In positive developments, Tajikistan passed a long-awaited law on domestic violence and committed to accede to the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights on the elimination of the death penalty.
Government Opponents and Other Critics
Authorities cracked down on government critics and the political opposition ahead of November's presidential election.
In February, former Prime Minister and one-time presidential candidate Abdumalik Abdullanjanov, a refugee in the United States since 1994, was detained in Kiev on an Interpol warrant. Tajikistan sought his extradition on charges ranging from embezzlement to involvement in a plot to assassinate President Rahmon. Abdullanjanov was released following an intervention by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
In March, Salimboy Shamsiddinov, head of the Uzbek society of the Khatlon region, was reported missing after leaving his home in Qurghonteppa. The authorities declared that there was no sign that Shamsiddinov was beaten or kidnapped. In July, officials claimed that a body resembling Shamsiddinov's was found in a river in neighboring Uzbekistan, but Shamsiddinov's family stated they did not recognize the body from the picture they were shown.
In April, unknown assailants attacked Mahmadali Hayit, deputy head of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan (IRPT), outside his home in Dushanbe. The attack happened days before the IRPT's planned 40-year anniversary convention. Hayit told Human Rights Watch that he had been under surveillance before the attack, and that unknown individuals in plain clothes were regularly coming to his home to inquire about his whereabouts.
In May, businessman and former Minister of Industry Zaid Saidov was detained at the Dushanbe airport on returning from a trip abroad. In April, Saidov had announced the creation of an opposition political party, New Tajikistan. Fellow New Tajikistan members believe that Saidov, currently on trial in a security services detention center on corruption, embezzlement, polygamy, and rape charges, was targeted for his opposition activity.
Also in May, Sherik Karamkhudoev, an IRPT leader from the autonomous province of Gorno-Badakhshan, was sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment for "participating in mass disorders" in a closed trial. Karamkhudoev was reported missing in April 2012 after government troops launched a military operation in his home region. He resurfaced two weeks later in security services custody in Dushanbe. His lawyers and family publicly stated that he was tortured in pretrial detention.
In September, authorities in Dubai pardoned Umarali Kuvvatov, head of the opposition movement Group of 24, following 10 months of detention on a Tajik extradition request. Kuvvatov, who was detained in Dubai's airport in December 2012, stated that he feared assassination were he to be returned to Tajikistan and is now in hiding outside Tajikistan. A former businessman with close ties to the Rahmon family, Kuvvatov believes he is being pursued because of his opposition activities and his knowledge of high-level corruption.
Criminal Justice and Torture
Despite reforms in 2012 to make the criminal code's definition of torture comply with international standards, torture remained an enduring problem in 2013. Torture is often used to coerce confessions and the right to counsel is routinely denied in pretrial custody. In January, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Juan Mendez stated in his report on his May 2012 visit to Tajikistan that with regard to torture, "numerous loopholes and inconsistencies" persist in criminal procedure and law enforcement practices. In July 2013, the Coalition against Torture, a group of Tajik NGOs, reported that despite some reforms, claims of torture by detainees have increased since the beginning of 2012.

This is a great crate if it is going to be set a up and left alone. However, if you need to set this crate up more than once a year it will prove to be misery. I am being slightly dramatic, but compared to the other wire frame crates we have this is a sturdy, but poorly designed crate.
Pros: Does the Job
Cons: Hateful to take down

Nestle makes $11.55 billion profit in 2012
VEVEY, Switzerland — Nestle SA, the world's biggest food and drinks maker, overcame tough global economic conditions to post a full-year net profit of 10.6 billion Swiss francs ($11.55 billion) for 2012, but predicted another challenging year ahead, the company said in a statement.
The maker of Nescafe, Perrier, Jenny Craig, Haagen Daz, Carnation and Perrier said Thursday it continued to see broad-based growth across all categories and regions with sales reaching 92.2 billion francs ($100.5 billion), up from 83.6 billion francs ($91.11 billion) in 2011.
But the Vevey-based company said "the environment looks to be every bit as challenging in 2013 as it was in 2012."
The results compare with a full-year 2011 profit of 9.5 billion Swiss francs ($10.35 billion). With 330,000 employees worldwide and 461 factories in 83 countries, Nestle is a major buyer of food commodities such as wheat, sugar, milk and coffee and its results are a good indicator of consumer demand and the health of the global economy as a whole.
Chief Executive Paul Bulcke said Thursday that all of the company's businesses, both in developed and emerging markets, contributed to the overall 5.9 percent organic growth.
"Despite the many challenges 2013 will no doubt bring, we expect to deliver the Nestle model of organic growth between 5 percent and 6 percent as well as an improved margin and underlying earnings per share in constant currencies," he added.

SAN ANTONIO -- A local woman charged with the death of her son opted for a plea deal instead of a trial.
Janie Altamirano's two-year-old son was found dead in her home in 2010. An autopsy showed he died as a result of blunt force trauma.
As part of the plea deal, Altamirano faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for serious bodily injury to a child by omission. Her boyfriend, Michael Pastran, also faces charges.

Wonderful beach vacation
Warm and Inviting
A very relaxing vacation
The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the luxury of having televisions in all the rooms. The owners provided games and books for guests which is a very nice gesture. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, glasses, etc. We felt the basement is a perfect set up for kids/teenagers to have their own place away from adults. The décor was very pleasant and tasteful for a beach home. The home was very clean and well maintained.
We enjoyed gliding on the deck swing listening to the ocean and birds and having some peaceful time to read. During our stay we really became addicted to the peace and quiet. We did go to the Blue Parrot Restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. The Blue Parrot has a great ocean view and the food was very good.
We felt very secure since the home is located inside the gated Plantation Development. The beach was a short walk from the house and during our stay we had a lot of privacy. There was not a lot of commotion or noise on the beach and the people we did see and talk to were well mannered.
In our opinion the price for a week's stay was a good value. We plan to return to this property again. We would recommend this property for a nice vacation.
Shocking to the Conscience
We have thoroughly enjoyed renting our home to nice families over the past 12 years. So to our future guests, please continue to inquire about visiting our home and do not let this one negative review impact your vacation decision.

Former ethics watchdog expensed $5,000 charity auction tripAlberta's former ethics watchdog stuck taxpayers with the tab for a $5,000 trip purchased at a charity fundraiser while serving in a prior position with the province, newly released documents show.
Editorial: Good behaviour speaks for itselfIf it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck, the reasoning goes. But a detailed description of a duck isn't the same as the real thing — just as Premier Jim Prentice's well-intentioned attempt to ensure accountability within the provincial government is no guarantee of proper conduct.
Corbella: Prentice embodies Lougheed in many waysFor those Albertans who pine for the days of Peter Lougheed and all he embodied, your time seemingly has arrived. During a one-and-a-half hour editorial board meeting Wednesday with Progressive Conservative leadership candidate and front-runner Jim Prentice, I was struck by how often Lougheed's legendary thoughtfulness, tone and command of all topics came to mind.
Alison Redford's defeated agriculture minister should get a real jobAlbertans who have expressed concern about the appointment of former agriculture minister Evan Berger to a cushy job with his former helper have been accused of faux outrage.

We live in the Whitemarsh/ Parkville area about 15 minutes from Aberdeen and keep our boat in Rock Creek on the Patapsco about 35 minutes away.
This a central location which you can take a days sail and get to anywhere in the northern Chesapeake ( Middle River, Sassafras River, Bohemia River, Still Pond, Worton Creek), anywhere on the Chester River (Langford Creek, Cackaway, Greys Inn Creek, Corsica Rivers) St Micheals, anywhere south (Annapolis, Severn River Magothy River, Whitehall Bay, South, West and Rhode Rivers. This means these are great weekend anchorages.
There are also days you cannot sail the Bay as it is to windy..rough, but you can cruise the Patapsco up to Inner harbor. Rock Creek means you can put your sails up 5 minutes from the dock and are never really worried about "skinny water". We are virtually on the corner of the Bay and the River so there is no extra time getting out to the Bay.
My next choice would be Middle River

ProstAware's seventh annual Blue Ties luncheon
Please join us for ProstAware's seventh annual Blue Ties Luncheon at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead Friday, September 11, 2015 at 11:30 AM. Exciting program details to follow. For sponsorship information, click here.
ProstAware's sixth annual Blue Ties luncheon raised over $40,000 for prostate cancer awareness
September 24, 2014 (Atlanta) — More than 250 attendees enjoyed a heartfelt keynote address by Arizona Diamondbacks President and CEO, Derrick Hall, and a rousing introductory speech by legendary Atlanta Braves pitching coach, Leo Mazzone, at the sixth annual ProstAware Blue Ties event on Sept. 12 at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead. Emceed by Jerry Carnes of 11-Alive WXIA-TV, the event raised more than $40,000 in support of ProstAware's ongoing prostate cancer education initiatives.
Dr. Scott Miller, the founder of ProstAware and a urologic laparoscopist with Georgia Urology, created the event to bring awareness to the prevalence of prostate cancer in the U.S. During the event, he emphasized the importance of regular screenings with a clever demonstration using oversized building blocks, illustrating how these regular tests are at the foundation of maintaining prostate health.
"ProstAware is the leading source of raising prostate cancer awareness and providing prostate health education in the Greater Atlanta area, a role we take very seriously," said Dr. Miller. "By using music, technology, and sports — commonly shared interests among most men — as vehicles to generate interest and discussion, I hope that the event will continue to encourage all men to consult with their personal physicians to make the best decisions for their own prostate health."
This year's event focused on sports. The Braves' Leo Mazzone shared humorous insights into his time as coach to celebrated pitchers Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, reflecting on his storied career in his signature no-nonsense style. The Arizona Diamondbacks' Derrick Hall delivered a keynote address that demonstrated how his community-driven leadership philosophy has turned the organization into a model franchise, and guided him as he faced his own health challenges. As a prostate cancer survivor and tireless advocate of cancer-fighting charities, Hall regularly speaks publicly about his past diagnosis to raise prostate cancer awareness and encourage other men to monitor their prostate health.
Additionally, Blue Ties attendees tried their hand at laparoscopy using demo machines provided by Intuitive Surgical and daVinci Surgical Systems. Three lucky attendees won raffle prizes provided by Ritz-Carlton Buckhead, Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island, and Jim Ellis Porsche, who provided a weekend of drive time in a new Porsche model of the winner's choice.
ProstAware's 2014 Blue Ties luncheon was sponsored by Georgia Urology, Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia, Northside Hospital, Intuitive Surgical, Lenz, Toyota, daVinci Surgical Systems, three squared, UPS, Coca-Cola, Georgia Cancer Specialists, LapaRobotic Surgery, Saturn 5 Records, and Surgiquest, Media sponsors included11-Alive WXIA-TV, WSB News Radio, 97.1 FM The River, The Weekly Check-Up with Dr. Bruce Feinberg, and Men's Book Atlanta magazine.
ProstAware is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to educating men in metro Atlanta about prostate health through music, technology, and sports. ProstAware encourages men in metro Atlanta to monitor their prostate health, provides a centralized resource for prostate cancer awareness, and promotes education and awareness through its annual Blue Ties event, local speaking engagements, and other Atlanta area health programs. Visit www.ProstAware.org for more information on how everyone can participate in the battle against prostate cancer.

I spend a lot of time looking at larger matrices (10x10, 20x20, etc) which usually have some structure, but it is difficult to quickly determine the structure of them as they get larger. Ideally, I'd like to have Mathematica automatically generate some representation of a matrix that will highlight its structure. For instance,
(A = {{1, 2 + 3 I}, {2 - 3 I, 4}}) // StructureForm
would give
{{a, b}, {Conjugate[b], c}}
or even
{{a, b + c I}, {b - c I, d}}
is acceptable. A somewhat naive implementation
StructureForm[M_?MatrixQ] :=
MatrixForm @ Module[
{pos, chars},
pos = Reap[
Map[Sow[Position[M, #1], #1] &, M, {2}], _,
Union[Flatten[#2, 1]] &
][[2]]; (* establishes equality relationship *)
chars = CharacterRange["a", "z"][[;; Length @ pos ]];
SparseArray[Flatten[Thread /@ Thread[pos -> chars] ], Dimensions[M]]
works only for real numeric matrices, e.g.
StructureForm @ {{1, 2}, {2, 3}} == {{a, b}, {b, c}}
Obviously, I need to define what relationships I think may exist (equality, negation, conjugate, negative conjugate, etc.), but I'm not sure how to establish that these relationships exist, at least in a clean manner. And, once I have the relationships, the next question is how to determine which is the simplest, in some sense? Any thoughts?
One possibility that comes to mind is for each pair of elements generate a triple relating their positions, like
{{1,2}, Conjugate, {2,1}} for
A, above, then it becomes amenable to graph algorithms.
Edit: Incidentally, my inspiration is from the Matrix Algorithms series (1, 2) by Stewart.

His teeth are beedi-mottled, but that's done nothing to take away the sparkle in his eyes. Bhasaheb Karvande, 58, has been a dabbawala for 38 years, his son Vikas Bhau Karvande, 32, for nearly two decades.
"But then this is what we have done for generations. My late father too, supplied dabbas," he cackles, taking quick deep breaths on a beedi before stubbing it outside his kholi in Tembepada, Bhandup, "I can get anywhere in Mumbai. The moment you tell me addresses, all I need to do is close my eyes for a second and I can picture the area."
First, starting off in South Mumbai's business district of Bhuleshwar, he has vivid memories of his fathers' stories of those charged five years of the Samyukta Maharashtra struggle. "I must have been waist-high when I began with my father. He'd take me with him to Marine Lines station and wait for our share of 40 dabbas to be given to us by the mukaddam. He'd gotten really bad asthma and would wheeze often so I began accompanying him to help. When we would be waiting to load or unload dabbas, he would talk of the great bomba-bombi (chaos) when strikes ensued. In fact, they would often put their lives at risk to deliver dabbas. Sometimes, the sahebs would have to take them on their own if the situation turned too ugly," he says, but doesn't forget to add, "Bara zhaala Morarjichya naakawar theechun Mumbai ghetli."
This Std VIII dropout began working soon afterwards. He feels rules of disallowing children from working are wrong. "It's not like the government is feeding their family for free," he spits, letting loose some really flavoured expletives from the Maaval region in Pune district he hails from.
This patriarch to a family of five, who live in 10x12 room with a mezzanine, waves his hands and asks the gawkers gathering to leave. "You know, these Mumbaikars are such cheaters. Sometimes, when I would reach the office well in time, I'd be told to take the dabba back, eat it and return it at home. After the women at home had put in so much love into packing home-cooked food, these people would make plans to eat faltu ingrazi food with their colleagues," he remembers and adds, "Of course, we would all wait to isolate such a regular on our route because then we would be able to have a decent meal."
His son, who is listening intently, shoos off the resident rooster who seems eager to join the conversation. "But some of the stuff these people eat is weird. There was a woman who would always get something yucky we thought was doodh-bhaatatli kolambi (milk and rice with prawns). We would give it to dogs and crows outside on the days she gave us her dabba."
The Karvandes have one family they have gotten very close to from the Princess Street. After all, three generations of them have served three of Zoroastrian Katrak family by getting their dabbas, first from Mahim and now Andheri. "Whether it is Diwali, Ganpati or even a crisis at home, they have always helped us out," says the son, pointing to a bookshelf-turned-kitchen shelf, which was handed down. "Asli sheesham haai," he adds, knocking on the flank.
Wondering who's visiting, neighbour and fellow dabbawala Sitaram Babuji Pophale ambles in. The 65-year-old has been a dabbawala for 50 years and admits that he finds moving around with even 20 dabbas tough nowadays. "Remember, when we began, there were first brass and then steel dabbas. I could carry almost 30 in a rack on my head. Now, they have these plastic ones, which are so delicate, and I begin huffing. We should have more old-age benefits," he says, getting rudely interrupted by a BEST bus honking on the road across. If only the city would care. "Is this all that the Marathi manoos deserves? Mumbai tumchi, nee bhandi ghaasa amchi (Keep your Mumbai and come scrub our vessels)."

WeChat has grown at a tremendous pace in India in a very short period of time and within a year of launching WeChat was the 2nd most downloaded application on iOS.In an exclusive interview with Nilay Arora, VP Marketing & Business Development, WeChat India, Krishna Bahirwani explores why WeChat is gaining popularity in India.
What do you feel will be the differentiating factor for WeChat in India ?
WeChat is one of the leading social communication apps globally with almost 400 million monthly active users which enables users to communicate with their friends and family in multiple richer ways.
WeChat was launched in India in May 2013 after a great deal of research on the Indian youth behaviour towards messaging and understanding how they connect with their friends. In addition to bringing some of the pioneering and most innovative features to the messaging and communication on mobile, WeChat has also brought out elements, which are relevant for local Indian audiences.
Voice Messaging:
While the feature is common across few of the social messaging platforms now, WeChat was the pioneer in introducing this feature in India as well as globally. Voice Messaging enables users to avoid typing, and just get on with their lives in a smoother manner as they can just tap, hold and send their thoughts to their friends in a few seconds by just speaking to the WeChat screen, and their friends can check their messages and reply to them in free time.
WeChat realized very early on that localized content is a key differentiating factor for Indian audiences as India is a land of festivals, colours, joy and vivacious expressions & idioms – and hence localized Stickers were introduced to platform.
In fact, WeChat is the only messaging app that has consistently launched unique Animated stickers to celebrate Indian festivals and special days such as Diwali, Holi, Independence Day, Friendship day etc. and even created local popular content characters stickers such as Angry Aunty, Jabber, Bade Chhote of 9XM fame etc.
These have shown significant usage among WeChat's users suggesting high uptake and love of users towards WeChat's animated Stickers as they help them express their emotions in a much more vivid and fun manner.
Official Accounts:
WeChat has a unique feature called Official Accounts, through which leading Indian brands like Café Coffee Day, PVR Cinemas, Big Bazaar, AskMe, Channel V India, Hungama Music etc. are today able to connect with their fans who're using WeChat. Because of WeChat's unique APIs and capability to provide richer content through a private chat interface, brands today are able to provide wide variety of social content, CRM and location based experiences to their fans on WeChat.
As part of user education and building unique content experiences, WeChat has also partnered with various Bollywood players, where a number of production houses have tied up with WeChat in order to reach out to their target audience through the 'WeChat Blockbuster' Official account. Users following this official account get exclusive updates, wallpapers, trailers, sound bytes of stars and behind the scenes of the featured movie. In the recent past, movies like 'R.. Rajkumar', 'Queen', 'Yaariyaan', 'Shudh Desi Romance', 'Ek Villian', 'Bhoothnath Returns' etc. have been featured on this account.
What according to you are WeChat's most innovative features ?
It has been our continuous endeavour to ensure that our users get the best communication experience. WeChat 'all-in-one' messaging application as we call it has all the features present on it through which users can do a lot more than just communication. WeChat was launched with innovative features such as Voice Messaging, Voice Calling and Video calling which make communication more than just text messaging.
Continuing these efforts of innovating and providing the users with a rich communication platform, over the last year we have introduced a number of innovative features which are unique to WeChat.
Real Time Location Sharing : This feature is an innovative feature which enables the users to share their real time location on an inbuilt map on WeChat. It's an opt-in feature where a number of participants can share their location with each other once the feature is switched on. This feature is especially useful for Women's safety, where you can track/monitor the movement of your sister, girlfriend, mother, wife when she's travelling late or to an unfamiliar place as it tracks the movement real time.
Video & Voice Calls: This feature enables users to make free voice and even video calls to one another. With youth being our primary audience, this feature not only gives them an edge over other applications but also proves to be cost effective for them. These features are accessible at all locations and times for users with an active data plan. It's user friendly and has simple user functionality. These can be used by various people in varied situations like long distance relationships, students living away from parents, spouses working in different cities etc. For example: A student staying away from his parents can see and speak to his parents every day, without any additional cost through Video Calls or make free Voice Calls to his parents to keep them informed about his well-being.
Friends Radar: Through this feature users can scan their surrounding area using the Friend Radar and spot their friends and acquaintances on WeChat who have enabled their radar feature, and with just one simple tap they can now start a conversation with them and exchange voice notes, Stickers and initiate voice and video calls. This feature can be used in a number of ways and is especially useful for youngsters during the first day of college, fresher's party, college festivals, conferences or even alumni meet when youngsters are likely to meet many new friends, exchange contacts with each other and would like to keep in touch with them
Apart from the above we also have features such as Recall message, Translate message, favourite message/ cloud storage which have been appreciated by the users.
What are your thoughts on the messaging industry and where do you see it going in the near and far future?
The instant messaging application market is expanding at a rapid pace. WeChat has gone from almost zero to 400 million users in a time period of three and a half years. This suggests an extremely rapid uptake of a product and category probably never witnessed earlier in history. There is no doubt that the messaging applications are here to stay and will only grow going forward.
At WeChat, our focus has always been to listen to our user feedbacks and then build features, capabilities and experiences that enhance human communication and connection. As messaging apps evolve into a platform, the unique differentiator wouldn't just be network of users but also the ecosystem of brands, entities, services and celebrities to strengthen these network effects. With its unique capability of Official Accounts, localized content based Stickers and a set of pioneering and innovative features, we're sure WeChat would continue to serve users and enable them to communicate better.
Tell me about WeChat's integration with Razer's Nabu ?
This is a project for users of Weixin in China. WeChat and Weixin are two sister products. While Weixin is focusing the China market, WeChat is aimed to serve customers outside in international users. The integration between Nabu and Weixin allow Weixin messages to be showed on the Nabu smartband. Further details to be available when the Nabu smartbrand is launched in Q4 this year.
How private are conversations on WeChat ?
WeChat is a completely safe and secure messaging application. Users can add one another by searching for the WeChat Id on WeChat and based on the privacy settings users have the option to accept or reject the friend requests.
Recently, we added an interesting feature of private group chat, wherein the user can create a group chat with their friends and the group can only be accessed by a passcode. Hence, keeping the chat private.
How secure is WeChat as an app ?
WeChat is a safe and secure communications tool. We take user data protection seriously in our product development and daily operations, and at the same time, like other international peers, we comply with the relevant laws in countries where we have operations.
Where do you see the WeChat in the future ?
WeChat's core philosophy and focus is innovation and creating an ecosystem that provides the users with a one of kind and rich communication experience. We are committed to the Indian market and going forward there will be addition of more social elements in WeChat, with localized content and functions to develop the local community.
After understanding the user sentiment and requirements we decided to roll out an upgraded version of the application which includes various innovative and user friendly features.
WeChat has grown really fast in India in a very short period of time and within a year of our launch we were also the 2nd most downloaded application on the iOS. We will continue to cater to our user base in India and offer them with features that will continue to make communication interesting as well as fun.
What can we expect from WeChat in the coming months ?
Our highest priority has always remained to provide our users with a rich communication experience which is not hindered by in-app advertising and other pushed content, which might restrict a user's interaction.
Owing to our efforts aimed towards localization and innovation, WeChat has remained one of the fastest growing application and has been consistently topped the charts across app stores throughout the world.
Going forward too, our focus will remain towards innovation and providing our users with rich communication experience. Stay tuned for more!

I used to go here when it was still called the Biltmore Drive-in. There was an area in front of the screen with speakers where people without cars could sit and watch the movies at a reduced price. I saw a fair number of films here including THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH, and THE FLESH EATERS.

Fair question. No we didn't. Using the freezer/refrigerator as the example, we didn't realize it wasn't working until the second day of the charter. We weren't about to backtrack and spend our precious vacation time waiting on maintenance that should have been done before we arrived. We dealt with each issue and we were able to accomplish our goals.
1. We warned each other when we were going to take showers, to be sure the other one didn't turn off the water pump accidentally.
2. We bot ice and consolidated all the food in the freezer compartment.
3. We fixed the tangled reefing lines.
4. We broiled instead of roasting.
5. We switched cabins.
6. We turned the starboard side of the boat slightly toward the wind when we lowered the sail.
7. We idled the engines at 2100 RPMs (the lowest RPMs where the throttles would stay in place)
8. We learned to control the throttles to keep the RPMs even.
9. The cockpit light didn't really make a difference.
10. We were aggravated that they had marketed the boat as having dingy davits when for all practical purposes that was a deception. We found a spare snatch block on board, tied it to the dingy painter, used a dockline as a rear bridle, and towed the dingy from the centerline of the boat.
None of the issues were fatal, just inconvenient and annoying, but not so big a deal that we were willing to sacrifice our vacation (and objectives) to get it fixed.

Gov't prodded on economic reforms
Local, foreign chambers list critical recommendations
popular .
The country's biggest business groups and the Joint Foreign Chambers have asked the Aquino administration to implement critical and strategic measures that will enable the Philippines to continue being one of Asia's fast-rising economies.
In a joint letter to President Aquino, the business groups outlined a slew of recommendations concerning infrastructure, power and regulatory and policy reforms aimed at generating the "greatest impact in achieving our shared vision of inclusive growth through job generation, poverty reduction and global competitiveness."
Signatories to the letter dated June 19 were the Makati Business Club, Alyansa Agrikultura, American Chamber of Commerce, European Chamber of Commerce, Employers Confederation of the Philippines, Philippine Exporters Confederation, Australia-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce, Japan Chamber of Commerce, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Management Association of the Philippines, Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Korean Chamber of Commerce and the Philippine Association of Multinational Companies Regional Headquarters Inc.
One of the recommendations is the enactment of an effective anti-trust law and competition policy to create a level playing field and, in turn, encourage more productive investments in light of an impending Asean integration in 2015.
"There are several laws and issuances which do not address the complexities of the current market conditions and as well result in overlapping jurisdictions and conflicts. Thus, we see the need for a single comprehensive law," the groups said in the letter.
They also underscored the need to "overhaul the Bureau of Customs and to create an oversight body with private sector representation" as smuggling continued to derail government efforts on revenue collection and job generation. They claimed that the government was losing more than P100 billion a year from smuggling.
Strategic transportation infrastructure projects must likewise be accelerated and implemented at the soonest time, they added. These projects include the development of the country's main international gateway, decongestion of the Port of Manila and the connection of NLEx and SLEx.
"We also strongly urge the rationalization of existing incentive-giving laws to further spur investments in crucial and strategic sectors, especially those that will help generate jobs and enhance global competitiveness," the groups stressed.

Michel Gondry's Mood Indigo gets richer as it darkens
By Amy Nicholson
Naturally, this Hollywood adaptation of James Ellroy's epic crime novel is slicker than the source, but it keeps a trace of the author's soul: That is, the plot's clues factor less to solve the crime than the deeper mystery of what makes the characters tick. There's also something of The Big Sleep in director Curtis Hanson's unfashionably pre-postmodern tour de force of early-'50s atmosphere, tight plotting, snappy dialogue, and sharply edited action—you know, all those quaint virtues from the old noirs. The tangled story—involving police corruption, heroin, porn, prostitution, rape, racism, freeway construction, and male bonding—is a doozy and impossible to summarize. Suffice it to say that a thick bulldog of a cop (Russell Crowe) finds his crime-busting opposite in a brainy and brown-nosing rookie (Guy Pearce), while an ultra-suave "celebrity crime stopper" (Kevin Spacey) seems to usher in the darkest dawn of pop culture. As in Ellroy, the naked city towers high above the men's L.A. stories—if only because the makers of this studio movie had the rare good taste not to cast huge stars.
