LAMC Tecate Hare Scrambles 1DEC2012
Great history and one of the best in the SW.
Los Ancianos Tecate Hare Scrambles 1DEC2012 returns with fresh cut single track and 2 seperate races (AM/PM).
The PM race always brings out a who's who of off road/enduro/xc pros. Great atmosphere fantastic race/ride every year.
Always wanted to do this and I think I can actually pull it off this year!
Entry going in the mail today.
worth every penny/peso.
They extended the early entry deadline to next week:
Link to the album:
Another for Scott:
This years THS was my seventh. Ive never trophied, but, ive never DNF either. Each year I spend about 364 days anticipating this event, then I spend several hours cursing it. It was 20 miles of diabolical course cutting. LAMC really outdid itself this year.
Jeremy, it was great to meet you and thank you again for your help! Having an ADV inmate pull up and park next to us was the last thing I expected!
The Tecate Hare Scrambles has got to be one of the most fun and challenging races I have ever done. I am more of an open country rider, but it's always fun to test yourself on unfamiliar territory. Talk about your tight and technical course, miles and miles of twisting through the brush and rocks, just incredible terrain. I am accustomed to running a 40 mile loop in 60 to 90 minutes, this took me 1:20 to go 20 miles :eek1:eek1 They had mile markers on the course, you would pass one and then swear you have ridden several miles before you saw another, only to find that you indeed had only gone a mile.
Hope I can make it down there next year, thanks Los Ancianos!
I recognize Scott from afternoon race. I was lined up to his left and chatted a bit prior to the start. Fun race.
Glad to see such a good line up and amount of riders.
Mike great you and Scott came down to get an idea of what I rave about every year. Glad you both had a good fun challenging day, imagine how it would have been with just a little rain........that'll really keep you coming back for more, we've been really lucky the past few years with rain during the week before .
Anyway get ready for an a rumored Enduro for 2013 (I just heard little rumors around the beer cooler!! hope that those rumors are true!!!!) RN
To anyone that may have raced both--is the course/terrain similar to the VCMC Qualifier at the Ranch last year?
MotoMike's description reminded me of that race.
I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn't in Anza :lol3 It was that similar :nod
And when I posted this same comment on Facebook, Erek Kudla said Roeseler was saying the same thing only in reverse at the Anza qualifier.
The VCMC Rawhide Rodeo West Chec enduro race has been named among our crew of San Diego/Tecate regulars as the best ever enduro for the fun flow factor, temp , trail condition, layout and management (with exception those couple of route issues that were solved quickly). plus for fan of the Husky brand me, Nick and LR finishing 1st and 3rd OA. I was in 50B HWT for the VCMC race on my TXC450 Husky. My current ride is the ex LR 3rd place 310 from that event. Hope you all come down in 2013 for a proper qualifier type traditional Tecate Enduro and lets all pray for some pre-race rain!! Again great to see you guys Tecate is always a great year long bench racing topic until the next one!!. RN
I remember talking to you on the line!

Ruth, Cobb, Foxx, Young and much, much more!1940's Hall of Famers Multi-Signed Baseball with Eighteen Pre-War Hall of Famers. A labor of love for an early autograph collector provides the collecting hobby with one of the most densely talent-packed spheres ever to grace the Heritage auction block. With an Official American League (Harridge) baseball in one hand and a blue ink fountain pen in the other, this gentleman sought out the greatest living names of our National Pastime, slowly building a roster of names rarely seen in such a sizeable congregation outside the walls of Cooperstown. Surviving with an average boldness of 7/10 beneath an effective clear coating of shellac, the Hall of Fame roll call:
Chief Bender, Ty Cobb, Mickey Cochrane, Earle Combs, Stan Coveleski, Charlie Gehringer, Lefty Gomez, Harry Hooper, Waite Hoyt, Jimmie Foxx, Herb Pennock, Babe Ruth, Ray Schalk, Al Simmons, George Sisler, Tris Speaker, Ed Walsh, Cy Young.
Thirty-seven autographs appear in total, with a definite 1920's Yankees theme found in the names of Mark Koenig, Wilcy Moore, Joe Dugan, Everett Scott, Bob Meusel, Bob Shawkey, Roger Peckinpaugh, Wally Schang, Wally Pipp, etc. The autograph of Yankees owner Del Webb furthers the theory that this ball has Big Apple roots. For the collector looking to enhance his autograph holdings in a hurry, this ball is like a Lamborghini with a nitrous booster, taking you from zero to light speed in a flash of an eye. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

MY new 640 Adventure
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Aug 2004
Location: SW Missouri
Oddometer: 252
Planned mods
Ok, been doing a bunch of work figuring out how to tune this bike to my needs, while simultaneously fending off an irrational urge to trade it for a 950SE.
I'll post pics as I get these mods completed, but here is the list and, more importantly, why the bike needs them.
Necessary Modifications
1) ADV sticker on fairing. This one is self-evident.
1.5) Forgot this.. 15T front countershaft sprocket. Why? Because I want higher revs at slower speeds to reduce stall possibility and save the clutch. We have slow rocky places here, and the bike is just too fast for them. I'm slipping the clutch a lot. I'll deal with the higher revs on the highway. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
2) New tires: Dunlop D908 Rally Raids front and rear. Why? The Metzeler Enduro 3 stock tires are fine for the street, but are crap off road in SW Missouri. We've got a lot of hard pack, with a layer of broken rock (sharp gravel) on top. There are hills that I can barely get up for lack of traction, and the bike is scary loose in typical dirt corners.
3) New lighting: Gonna try for the Euro headlights, plus an HID lightbar from Trailtech. Why? The lighting is the worst feature of this bike. It sucks, badly. Low is too clipped. High is an uneven pattern with a bright spot in the middle, like a cheap adjustable flashlight from Walmart. Illumination into corners is non existent.
3.1) LED Taillight (still researching). Forgot this on the first pass. Why? This one should be self-evident, but if it's not: speed up activation of the brake light, and make it more intense (i.e. visible). May save my bacon, and with all those ijuts on cell phones out there, we need every advantage we can get.
4) New exhaust: still researching. Why? Because.
5) Rejetting. Goes with new exhaust. Even out the running, get a bit more power and responsiveness.
6) New springs: for a 250lb avg rider weight. Why? 'cause the bike is setup for a 165lb rider. I'm planning for an avg weight of 250, which is a compromise between me by myself, both my wife and me, and all of us with luggage on short trips.
7) Canisterectomy: to smooth out the running, lose a tiny bit of weight (it all helps), and most importantly, to free up some space for the Euro toolbox.
8) Euro toolbox: Nice job, KTM, on screwing up a perfectly good motorcycle. Like I really need a charcoal canister more than a toolbox on an Adventure bike.
9) Steering damper: still researching this. Why? Because I live in fear of repeating the 60-mph endo I had on a Yamaha 250 Enduro back when I was 15. Front end started to shake, and I lost it. It was ugly, and it was my friend's Dad's friend's bike.
Already had one bout of this on the 640, I brought it under control. Don't want it again.
10) Replace the skid plate with the poly resin version. Why? Because the aluminum one is too noisy. It sounds like it's being hit with a hammer at around 3000-3500 rpm. And, it collects gravel and then THAT sounds like it's in an aluminum washing machine. I give up a little protection in going to the resin, but I think it's worth the risk.
11) Install a mudflap at the bottom of the front fender. Why? Because my radiator is a mess from the mud I hit. Since I hate cleaning stuff, I'd rather it not get that dirty in the first place.
12) Replace center stand with side stand. Why? Because I'm too lazy to drag it up on the center stand every time I have to get off to open a gate. And it's lighter. Besides, dragging the bike up on the stand several times a day is tearing up my right wrist (RMS).
13) Renazco seat. Why? The bike is fine for 1-up, but with 2-up, we both end up sliding forward and it gets old fast. Like to do some grippy suede, make it a little more comfortable. For her.
14) Wolfman Discovery Lite tank bag
15) Touratech headlight protector
16) Touratech rear rack
17) Tail bag -- still researching this. Maybe the Wolfman mini-beta. And I like the Kaoko day bag.
18) Garmin Zumo and GPS mount. Still researching the mount.
Ideas Discarded
- I canceled my KTM aluminum panniers order. Why? Primarily because I don't think this is the right bike to take on extended 2-up journeys. We'll wait for a GS or 990Adv for that. So, we'll get by with tail/tank bags, on short trips.
- I'm looking into modifying the turn signals to put a small bright LED on the end of the stalk, which would be activated by the signal switch and would illuminate corners better. I'll get back to you on this.

Idiot; costed is not even a word.
If I were to call someone an idiot based on a grammatical error, I'd take the time out to make sure one was actually made:

Posted 12 August 2007 - 01:38 AM
the biggest thing to remember is that if the man sitting next to the gringo was a swindlecant he would have said , "the bartender said NO," since he HAS to lie and it is impossible to say "no" when answering the question "if he spoke the truth" from a swindlecant and a honestant.
So. the bartender must be a Swindlecant , and the man sitting next to him a Honestant
to lie, only one part of a sentance needs to be false, in other words, a swindlecant can say, "I am a one-eyed monster who is also a swindlecant." because they are a not a one-eyed monster, their comment is a lie, an honestant cannot say this because their are no parts true here, and for someone to speak the truth, all parts of the sentance must be true. So with the sentance "he said yes, but he's a big lier" perhaps the bartender DID say yes, and is not a big lier if the man sitting next to him is a swindlecant. or, if he's an honestant, then obviously both parts must be true and the bartender said yes but lied and the answer is no, no?

Posted 28 August 2007 - 03:00 PM
This one seems not clear to me. However, the bartender and the man sitting next to the gringo must be one honestant and one swindlecant (not knowing who is who).
1. the bartender must have said: "Yes, I speak the truth" (no matter who he is)
2. the man sitting next to gringo said: "The bartender said yes, but he is a big liar.", which is true only if BOTH parts of the sentence are true (for logical conjuction see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunction)
Except, if you look more closely at the wikipedia article, it shows the steps of logical conjunction. This example is not actually logical conjunction, the statement is already conjoined. I would argue that the man at the bar did not actually go through and do logical conjunction on his two seperate assumptions, and even if he did, we recognize that they were both seperate ideas at one point, meaning a swindlecant has to lie for both, and an honestant has to tell the truth for both. Since the statement is already conjoined, we can assume either that the man did it himself, acknowledging the truth (or untruth) of both statements, or that the man simply combined two assumptions that he had into one sentence simply to shorten what he had to say - this is not necessarily conjunction. So, the bartender is a swindlecant and the man an honestant.

Idiot; costed is not even a word.
If I were to call someone an idiot based on a grammatical error, I'd take the time out to make sure one was actually made:
Also, if you're taking the time to accuse someone of wrongly accusing someone, you should take the time to verify the truth of this. Read the definition more carefully. While costed is technically a word, in the sense used, it is not correct. Costed can only be used in the sense of "He costed the watch on display" (determined the value of). This form of the word is rarely used, though, and I would not blame someone for being unaware of its presence. However, saying that something "costed" you a certain amount of money is completely incorrect and gives any form of educated person a bad impression.

Unless that educated person's native language is not English, which is the case in rookie1ja's case. Perhaps I should have written that eikonoklaste shouldn't be calling someone an idiot while claiming something that is a word, isn't. You really think the one giving a bad impression is one whose grammar isn't perfect and not the one needlessly calling another an idiot?

First off, the bartender can't say no. If he sais no, then that means that he's owning up to lying in the first place, which would be an honest response, or he's lying then, and was being honest in the first place. So he must've said yes.
This immediately implies that the man sitting next to the gringo was an honest one, having stated that the bartender said "yes" which we already decided he had. Thus, the man next to the gringo was also telling the truth about the bartender lying, so the bartender must be a swindlecant and the man next to the gringo must be an honestant.

School Notes:
In the classroom Landmark students are inspired to pursue
academic excellence through a rigorous curriculum, the
encouragement of their teachers, and through multiple opportunities
for academic challenge. Graduates of Landmark Christian
School consistently receive acceptance and scholarship offers from
the finest schools in the nation.
On the athletic fields and courts, Landmark students are taught the values of persistence, commitment, and teamwork through participation on our tremendously successful athletic program. In Landmark's history as a member of the Georgia High School Association, we have earned numerous Area/Region and State Championship titles. The Landmark athletic department supports 40 middle and high school athletic teams each year. Many Landmark athletes graduate with athletic scholarships from leading universities.
On the stage, through our comprehensive arts program, Landmark students are taught to value the beauty of God's creation and to see God as the ultimate artist. Created in His image, students come to understand that they too can be creators of beauty. Whether that creation is a dramatic, musical, or choral performance, or photography, painting, or sculpture; Landmark students have many opportunities to express their creativity through the arts. The evidence of this creativity is seen in the numerous high quality plays, concerts and art displays that Landmark students perform or produce each year.
We invite you to learn about Landmark through our website; landmarkchristianschool.org. We also hope that you will schedule a tour or attend or attend an Open House event to discover the Landmark difference for yourself.

As of right now... Not much is known about what Bandai Anerica is doing. They have been really quite besides the Tamagotchi Life comming out. So... Right now, it is probably not likely tamago figure set 3 will come... But that isn't set in stone or anything.

But Wave 3 was supposed to come out a while ago. You can tell this because some incorrectly inserted figures will give you the "lite" figure game called "Pattern Shoot" which is not included on any figures. Unfortunately, there is no news from Bandai America, as SailorRosette said.

Also, there could be the possibility for them to have faked them to get attention.

Sadly, it is very unlikely. Especially with the Tamagotchi L.I.F.E Project going on, Bandai have no plans to release the Wave 3 Gotchi Figures.

Brendon De Jonge takes 1-shot lead over Tiger Woods, 2 others
BETHESDA, Md. — Saturday at Congressional was not the first time Tiger Woods has played before so few fans.
There were those 6 a.m. practice rounds at the British Open. Or the occasional PGA Tour event where fans were evacuated because of a thunderstorm and hardly anyone returned at twilight when play resumed. There surely was the odd junior event he played when he was 8.
But teeing off in the late afternoon at the AT&T National, on a steamy but sun-filled day on a fabled course in a golf-mad area like Washington?
Woods had the largest crowd of the day, even though it never topped 100 people. Brendon de Jonge, who had a 2-under 69 to take a one-shot lead, had as many birdies (three) as people in his gallery on a strange, silent Saturday at Congressional.
A violent wind storm overnight that toppled dozens of trees and littered the course with limbs forced tournament officials to keep spectators and most volunteers away from Congressional for the third round. Considering the debris, it was amazing they even played.
"I've played in front of people like this," Woods said. "But not generally for an 18-hole competitive round."
De Jonge was steady in the sweltering conditions for a third straight round in the 60s, which gave his first 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour. One shot behind were Woods (67), Bo Van Pelt (67) and S.Y. Noh (69).
De Jonge, a South African going for his first PGA Tour win, made his final birdie on the 12th hole with a wedge out of the rough that climbed over a ridge and settled about 12 feet behind the cup. It was worthy of applause, but there was only one person in the gallery to see it — Kandi Mahan, the wife of Hunter Mahan.
Other tournaments
Senior Players Championship at Pittsburgh: Mark Calcavecchia shot a 6-under 64 for a share of the third-round lead with Joe Daley.
Calcavecchia, the Montreal Championship winner last week, matched Daley at 12-under 198 at Fox Chapel. Daley had a 68.
Second-round leader Fred Couples and Tom Lehman were a stroke back.
NW Arkansas Championship at Rogers, Ark.: Venezuelan LPGA rookie Veronica Felibert shot a 5-under 66 to stretch her lead to four strokes.
Felibert continued her surprising run at Pinnacle Country Club, where she made the field as the second alternate.
Mika Miyazato and Inbee Park were tied for second.
Stacy Lewis, who played at the University of Arkansas, shot a 69 and is 3 under for the tournament.
Irish Open at Portrush, Northern Ireland: Jamie Donaldson shot a 3-under 69 to take a one-stroke lead into the final round and Rory McIlroy is six shots back.
Donaldson moved to 12 under despite a mixed round that featured an eagle, four birdies and three bogeys.

Fracking's Myriad Ties to Greenwashed State Dept Keystone XL Environmental Review
Steve Horn | Posted 10.08.2013 | Green
Read More: Fracking, Keystone XL, Hydraulic Fracturing, Keystone Pipeline, Keystone Xl Environmental Review, Green News
Most don't think of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") when pondering the future of TransCanada's Keystone XL tar sands export pipeline -- but they should.
This is a time for climate leadership. So, instead of a shoddy Keystone XL environmental review, the first major climate action for this Administration's second term should be to set limits on climate change pollution from power plants. That is the kind of action that makes sense.

Understanding Dyslexia
Dyslexia is more common and more complicated than is usually acknowledged. But there are upsides to the condition, too.
In the classroom, says Susan Barton, founder of Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, teachers should not press students to do things that expose them to embarrassment or ridicule because of their limitations. Instead she offers a series of modest accommodations that can enable those same students to succeed.
Susan Barton will present a free seminar, "Dyslexia: Symptoms and Solutions," on Thursday evening, March 27 at 6 pm at Sonoma Country Day School. Find out more about the event here.

Specialty, generic drug costs drive Medicaid costs upApril 11, 2015 2:04 pm | by Marie French, Associated Press | News | Comments
The high cost of a drug used to treat Medicaid patients with hepatitis C drew scrutiny from lawmakers earlier this year, but other drugs are also driving up the state's costs and likely will continue to do so for several years, government data reveals. From fiscal year 2010 through 2014, drug costs for Missouri's Medicaid program rose 33%, to $1.16 billion.

Washington state panel mulls bill to trim vaccine exemptionsFebruary 17, 2015 4:28 pm | by Rachel La Corte,Associated Press | News | Comments
Personal or philosophical opposition to vaccines would not be an authorized exemption for the parents of school-age children under a measure that received a public hearing before a House committee on Tuesday, drawing at least two dozen opponents to the proposed change.
Vaccine opposition has ebbed and flowed over centuriesFebruary 14, 2015 3:49 am | by Mike Stobbe, AP Medical Writer, Associated Press | News | Comments
They're considered one of mankind's greatest medical achievements, yet people have balked at vaccines almost since the time of the first vaccination—in 1796, when an English country doctor named Edward Jenner inoculated an 8-year-old boy against smallpox. In the mid-1800s, people protested in the streets of Victorian England after the British government began requiring citizens to get the vaccination.
Debate over vaccine requirements forges strange allianceFebruary 6, 2015 1:13 pm | by Nicholas Riccardi, Associated Press | News | Comments
The debate over whether parents should be required to get their children vaccinated against measles has created strange alliances, putting some liberal parents on the same side as Republican conservatives. While the two parties are not cleanly divided on the issue in the nation's state legislatures, it is increasingly the GOP that resists efforts to stiffen requirements on vaccinating kids.
Federal health officials face tough questions on flu vaccineFebruary 3, 2015 1:20 pm | by Lauran Neergaard, AP Medical Writer, Associated Press | News | Comments
Federal health officials are facing questioning about why this year's flu vaccine isn't giving good protection against the winter menace. This is a particularly bad flu season, and one reason is that the most common flu strain isn't a good match to this year's vaccine. Lawmakers on Tuesday asked why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention didn't act months ago when concerns first arose to create a better-matched vaccine.

Obama proposes "precision medicine" to end one-size-fits-allJanuary 30, 2015 6:18 am | by Lauran Neergaard, AP Medical Writer, Associated Press | News | Comments
President Barack Obama is calling for an investment to move away from one-size-fits-all-medicine, toward an approach that tailors treatment to your genes. The White House said Friday that Obama will ask Congress for $215 million for what he's calling a precision medicine initiative. The ambitious goal: Scientists will assemble databases of about a million volunteers to study their genetics to learn how to individualize care.
As flu becomes more widespread, CDC pushes antiviral medsJanuary 9, 2015 1:37 pm | by Mike Stobbe, AP Medical Writer, Associated Press | News | Comments
In the midst of a worrisome flu season, health officials are pushing doctors to prescribe antiviral medicines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday sent a new alert to doctors, advising prompt use of Tamiflu and other antivirals for hospitalized flu patients and those at higher risk for complications like pneumonia.
CDC: Flu season continues to worsen, could peak this monthJanuary 5, 2015 5:35 pm | by By Mike Stobbe, AP Medical Writer, Associated Press | News | Comments
The flu is now widespread in all but seven states, and hospitalization rates match the dismal season two years ago. While health officials fear this will be an unusually bad year, it's too soon to say. The latest figures released Monday by the CDC show the flu hitting hard in most of the 43 states where the illness was widespread. But the flu was not yet rampant in populous states like California and New York.
FDA drug approvals reached 18-year high in 2014January 2, 2015 3:39 pm | by By Matthew Perrone - AP Health Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
The Food and Drug Administration approved 41 first-of-a-kind drugs in 2014, including a record number of medicines for rare diseases, pushing the agency's annual tally of drug approvals to its highest level in 18 years. FDA drug approvals are considered a barometer of industry innovation and the federal government's efficiency in reviewing new therapies. Last year's total was the most since the all-time high of 53 drugs approved in 1996.
U.S. looking past Ebola to prepare for next outbreakNovember 23, 2014 8:59 am | by Lauran Neergaard - AP Medical Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
The next Ebola or the next SARS. Maybe even the next HIV. Even before the Ebola epidemic in West Africa is brought under control, public health officials are girding for the next health disaster. Ebola sprang from one of those blind spots, in an area that lacks the health systems needed to detect an outbreak before it becomes a crisis.
U.S. approves new, hard-to-abuse hydrocodone pillNovember 20, 2014 6:00 pm | by Matthew Perrone - AP Health Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
U.S. government health regulators on Thursday approved the first hard-to-abuse version of the painkiller hydrocodone, offering an alternative to a similar medication that has been widely criticized for lacking such safeguards. The FDA approved Purdue Pharma's Hysingla ER for patients with severe, round-the-clock pain that cannot be managed with other treatments.
Government wants more clinical trial results made publicNovember 19, 2014 3:00 pm | by Lauran Neergaard - AP Medical Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
The government proposed new rules Wednesday to make it easier for doctors and patients to learn if clinical trials of treatments worked or not. Thousands of Americans participate in clinical trials every year, testing new treatments, comparing old ones or helping to uncover general knowledge about health. Many of the studies are reported in scientific journals and trumpeted in the news.
Heart stents may require longer blood thinner useNovember 16, 2014 5:00 pm | by Marilynn Marchione - AP Chief Medical Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments
Millions of people with stents that prop open clogged heart arteries may need anti-clotting drugs much longer than the one year doctors recommend now. A large study found that continuing for another 18 months lowers the risk of heart attacks, clots and other problems. Even quitting after 30 months made a heart attack more likely, raising a question of when it's ever safe to stop.
Regulatory, scientific complexity of generic nanodrugs could delay savings for patientsNovember 13, 2014 8:07 am | by American Chemical Society | News | Comments
Nanomedicine is offering patients a growing arsenal of therapeutic drugs for a variety of diseases, but often at a cost of thousands of dollars a month. Generics could substantially reduce the price tag for patients—if only there were a well-defined way to make and regulate them. An article in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) details the challenges on the road to generic nanodrugs.
Ebola workers ask Congress for helpNovember 12, 2014 3:58 am | by Lauran Neergaard - Associated Press - Associated Press | News | Comments
Health workers on the front line of the Ebola crisis say the need for urgent help isn't letting up, as Congress begins considering President Barack Obama's $6.2 billion emergency aid request to fight the disease. Despite reports that the number of infections is slowing in some parts of West Africa, cases still are rising in other areas.
Medicare proposes covering lung cancer screeningNovember 10, 2014 5:58 pm | by Lauran Neergaard - AP Medical Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments

Ebola volunteers wrestle with quarantine mandatesNovember 8, 2014 9:58 am | by Jennifer Peltz - Associated Press - Associated Press | News | Comments
Dr. Robert Fuller didn't hesitate to go to Indonesia to treat survivors of the 2004 tsunami, to Haiti to help after the 2010 earthquake or to the Philippines after a devastating typhoon last year. But he's given up on going to West Africa to care for Ebola patients this winter. He could make the six-week commitment sought by his go-to aid organization, International Medical Corps.
Experts, models predict more U.S. Ebola casesNovember 3, 2014 10:33 am | by Associated Press, Martha Mendoza | News | Comments
Top medical experts studying the spread of Ebola say the public should expect more cases to emerge in the U.S. by year's end as infected people arrive here from West Africa, including American doctors and nurses returning from the hot zone and people fleeing from the deadly disease. But how many cases?
New restrictions for those at high Ebola riskOctober 27, 2014 6:30 pm | by Mike Stobbe - AP Medical Writer - Associated Press | News | Comments

The governors of New York and New Jersey are at odds with scientists over Ebola as they back 21-day quarantines for medical workers returning from West Africa, while the nation's top infectious-disease expert warns that such restrictions are unnecessary and could discourage volunteers from aiding disease-ravaged countries.
Ebola airport checks expand; nurses get trainingOctober 22, 2014 3:28 am | by Connie Cass - Associated Press - Associated Press | News | Comments
The federal government is closing a gap in Ebola screening at airports while states from New York to Texas to California work to get hospitals and nurses ready in case another patient turns up somewhere in the U.S. with the deadly disease. Under the rule going into effect Wednesday, air travelers from the West African nations must enter the U.S. through one of five airports doing special screenings and fever checks for Ebola.

Democratic Senators are poised to once again grill Attorney General Michael Mukasey on the issue of whether the interrogation technique called waterboarding — or simulated drowning — constitutes torture and is therefore illegal under U.S. laws.
At his confirmation hearing three months ago, Mukasey was able to dodge the question by saying he had not been "read in" to the classified programs involving detainee interrogation. On Wednesday, at his first congressional appearance since his controversial confirmation, he will have no such excuse.
Senators' interest in Mukasey's response has not waned since the hearings, when Mukasey explained that he didn't know "what was involved in the technique." Mukasey's response prompted Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., to accuse him of a "massive hedge" on the issue.
After the hearings Mukasey wrote that he found certain interrogation techniques "repugnant" on a personal basis, but he refrained from calling them torture based on "hypothetical facts."
He was ultimately confirmed as attorney general by a vote of 53-40.
In preparation for the hearing on Wednesday, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have sent Mukasey a letter warning him that he has had "ample time" to study the issue. The senators wrote, "Your unwillingness to state that waterboarding is illegal may place Americans at risk of being subjected to this abusive technique. If the United States does not explicitly and publicly condemn waterboarding, it will be more difficult to argue that enemy forces cannot waterboard American prisoners."
Mukasey will also be asked about the Bush administration's legal position on the controversial Terrorist Surveillance Program that authorized warrantless surveillance of communications between suspected terrorists and parties within the United States and led to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) legislation currently before Congress.
Senators will return to the issue of executive power. At his confirmation hearing, Mukasey raised the ire of a number of Democratic senators when he was asked in the context of surveillance law that had been passed by Congress whether the president can ignore certain statutes.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., asked, "Can a president put somebody above the law by authorizing illegal conduct?"
Mukasey said, "The only way for me to respond to that in the abstract is to say that if by illegal you mean contrary to a statute, but within the authority of the president to defend the country, the president is not putting somebody above the law; the president is putting somebody within the law."
Since taking office, Mukasey has moved quickly to fill several vacancies after top officials resigned during the tumultuous tenure of his predecessor, Alberto Gonzales. Gonzales himself resigned after allegations that inappropriate political considerations had influenced the decision to dismiss nine U.S. Attorneys in 2006.
Mukasey has issued new procedures to ensure that communications between the White House staff and the Justice Department on pending criminal or civil investigations are handled only by certain designated officials to shield such investigations from potential political influence.

With oil prices plunging again, ATB Financial has cut its 2015 Alberta economic growth forecast to a razor-thin 0.4 per cent, down from 0.8 per cent previously and two per cent at the beginning of the year. Todd Hirsch, chief economist at the provincially owned bank, said the latest downward revision reflects an increasingly sour outlook for global growth in light of the ongoing turmoil in Greece and a rapid cooling of China's once-hot stock market.
A new report by the Carbon Tracker Initiative is throwing some cold water on Canada's liquefied natural gas ambitions. It identifies $283 billion in possible projects worldwide that may not be needed, including $82 billion in Canada over the next decade in a low-demand scenario. The Carbon Tracking Initiative is a London-based, not-for-profit think-tank that's […]
Capital expenditures for 2015 are expected to be down in Alberta, as a number of projects in the oil and gas extraction industry have been suspended, says Statistics Canada. The federal agency reported Monday that the expected value of private and public capital spending is forecast to be $82.0 billion, down 11 per cent from 2014 in the province. Nationally, […]
Alberta has the best conditions for solar power in the country — a big advantage that the Notley government should use in its long-awaited renewable energy strategy, advocates told a rally at the legislature Saturday. Labour leaders joined with environmental groups and First Nations to call on the new NDP government to come up with an "ambitious" renewable energy plan for the July 15 meeting of Canadian premiers in St. John's, Newfoundland.
A torrent of layoffs in Alberta's energy sector appears to have slowed as 2015 hits the halfway mark but more job losses may be around the corner, an economist warns. "I think we are probably over the hump of the majority of layoffs but I don't think it's quite over yet," Todd Hirsch, chief economist at ATB Financial, said this week.
More than two weeks of rumours proved true Tuesday when Cenovus announced it had sold its Heritage Royalty Partnership to a subsidiary of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP) for $3.3 billion. "It's a milestone acquisition for us. We believe this asset is an excellent acquisition for us at a very attractive and opportunistic time in the […]
Alberta misses mark with increased oilpatch high-risk regulatory violations, many involving pipelines.
CALGARY - TransCanada says recent Canadian climate change announcements should bolster the case in Washington for building its long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline.
UNESCO has agreed to send a monitoring committee to Wood Buffalo National Park to look at cumulative effects of oil, gas and hydro development on the environment, says a northern Alberta First Nation representative. During a convention in Bonn, Germany this week, UNESCO — the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization — reviewed concerns raised by the Mikisew Cree Nation about the sprawling national park that straddles the Alberta-Northwest Territories border.
CALGARY - Alberta's NDP government has made it clear it would prefer to see less of Alberta's resources ripped and shipped, and more processed into higher value products at home.
By Amanda Jordan Cenovus Energy Inc. agreed to sell a package of royalty lands to Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan for about $3.3 billion in cash as Canada's fourth-largest oil producer seeks funding sources after the drop in crude prices.

If Ian MacGregor could climb to the top of a hydrocracker reactor tower at the Sturgeon Refinery, he might first use his giant steel pulpit to shout out that the project isn't an upgrader. In the long list of what he sees as misconceptions about the project, that one might be the most obvious.
Tourmaline Oil Corp. will reclaim a property originally exploited by its predecessor, Duvernay Oil Corp., through a $106-million all-stock deal to buy Calgary junior Mapan Energy Ltd.
The sharp drop in oil prices has had a "less-than-expected impact" on occupancy rates in work camps in Alberta's oilsands and other parts of North America, an industry report shows. Edmonton-based Orissa Software Inc. released its first snapshot Monday of the North American remote camp industry, focusing on the first three months of 2015.
The NDP government has appointed a prominent Alberta banker to chair its controversial review of the province's royalty regime.
It's a bit early for a parade, but at least we can exhale now. The new NDP government offered further evidence this week that it plans to track toward the middle ground, and not lean too far left. If so, that's a very good thing.
A downturn in construction activity linked to low oil and gas prices has cost the jobs of about 1,000 consulting engineers in Alberta so far and is blamed for the recent exit from Calgary of at least one foreign-owned engineering company.
By Moming Zhou Crude oil ended below $60 a barrel as near- record U.S. production prolonged an oversupply amid the lowest trading volatility in eight months.

Alberta's new NDP government said Thursday it would double the province's existing carbon levy on large industrial emitters within two years and launch consultations on a broader climate change plan that should be unveiled as soon as this fall. Environment Minister Shannon Phillips announced the existing $15-per-tonne levy will increase to $20 per tonne next year and $30 per […]
Chevron Canada Ltd. confirmed Thursday it is restructuring its operations but would not comment on online reports claiming the process will result in the loss of 130 positions or about one in five of its 600 to 800 Calgary employees.

Energy Minister Marg McCuaig-Boyd says Alberta's NDP government will work with other provinces to overcome obstacles to the Energy East pipeline, adding she's not daunted by Quebec Premier Phillipe Couillard's concerns about the project.
The premier said she wants a concrete, realistic strategy in place before the next major climate change summit in Paris in December.
If there's one thing people love more than cuddly cat videos, it's a good disaster flick. It's in our DNA, I guess. Just ask any Hollywood film producer.
New Brunswick's energy minister says he's confident the Energy East pipeline will be built, despite concerns raised by Quebec's Premier.
The NDP government will review the "conflicting mandate" of the province's oilpatch watchdog with a view to separating its responsibility to both promote and police energy development, says Premier Rachel Notley.
Premier says regulator can't be both overseer and promoter for energy industry
As the government of Alberta considers how to shift away from plans to capture and store carbon, the head of a similar program in Saskatchewan has one word of advice: don't.
Rumours have been confirmed that there will be "some staff reductions" at Encana.

Fantastic Groups and Where to Find Them
Starting with the fundamental concept of a group that one encounters in a first abstract algebra course, this talk aims to provide the undergraduate listener with a broader, graduate-level perspective on the huge role groups play in many other fields of math (with a focus on topology and geometry). Beyond the elementary, pretty examples like the dihedral and symmetric groups, groups also act on topological spaces and yield new manifolds in the form of quotient manifolds (also called orbit spaces), and groups themselves sometimes admit topological and/or geometric structure. Many examples will be provided.

Hash Functions, A Soft Intro
Number theorists often talk about functions with "nice" properties (additive, multiplicative, periodic, symmetric, and so on). Hash functions are, in this sense, a mathematician's nightmare. But, in terms of cryptography and security, they are very important. This talk will gently introduce what hash functions are, their applications to cryptography (have you heard of bitcoins?), and current and ongoing work. The content will be accessible to both math and computer science majors.
11/13/14 Professor Benjamin Young, University of Oregon
Tiling an Aztec Diamond
An Aztec diamond is a diamond-shaped region of the plane, which can be completely covered with nonoverlapping dominos. We'll work out the number of ways in which this can be done, and look into what a typical tiling of a large Aztec diamond looks like.

A New Angle on an Old Construction
It's well known that exact straightedge-and-compass construction of a regular n-gon is impossible for most values of n, but that didn't keep people from needing to construct such polygons in the days when straightedge and compass were the principal tools of drafting. I'll introduce a historical technique for approximating a regular n-gon that works (more or less) for any value of n. Finally, I'll introduce a slight variation -- original as far as I know -- that improves the construction's accuracy. The material is very accessible! The only mathematical background needed is a little high school algebra and trigonometry.

Partial Differential Equations & Equivalence
Professor Sitton gives a brief, not-too-technical introduction to the geometric theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) as developed by Lie, Cartan, Goursat, Darboux, and others during the early 20th century. This theory allows us to define various geometric properties, including the notion of equivalence, of PDEs. In particular, we consider the following PDEs introduced and studied by Cartan, Goursat, (and Sitton):
9u2xx + 12uxxu3xy + 36uxxuxyuxy – 12u2xyu2xy – 32u3xy = 0
8u3xx + 24u2xxu2xy + 18uxxu4xy - 108uxxu2xyuxy – 18u2xyu3xy + 81u4xy = 0

See the Wave: A Mathematical Simulation of the Waller Violin"
The card game SET is played with a special deck of 81 cards.
The Waller Violin, and in fact, all stringed instruments work on the basic principle that a string of length L is pinned at both ends and is under tension. The string is plucked and begins to vibrate causing a sound, usually nice music. Because of wind resistance the string will eventually stop vibrating and the music will cease. Mathematically the vibrating string is known as the "wave equation." Our task in this talk is to simulate, mathematically, the movement of the string.
This talk will take the listener on a tour of the undergraduate mathematics needed to solve the "wave equation". The talk will weave together topics from integration by parts, simple differential equations, along with a little matrix theory, and least squares (linear regression). These mathematical concepts will be the stepping stones which lead to the concept of the Fourier series, which is the ultimate mathematical tool used to solve the "wave equation".
The talk will also show the derivation of the mathematical model of the "wave equation" using elementary vector addition. Once the "wave equation" had been derived, the talk will show the techniques used in solving the "wave equation" for a simulated string, using the elementary mathematics and Fourier series discussed during the talk.
The talk will conclude with a computer graphics animation which actually shows the vibrations of the string we are simulating.

Mathematics in the Game of Set
The card game SET is played with a special deck of 81 cards.
The game has a lot of mathematics hidden within. We'll look at questions in combinatorics, probability, linear algebra, and especially geometry. The deck is an excellent model for a finite affine geometry, and we will use the game to explore that geometry. If you'd like some practice before the talk, go to www.setgame.com for the rules and a Daily Puzzle.
(If you saw talks on SET last year, this talk will contain new information.)

Pick a Tree, Any Tree
Trees are an extremely important and useful topic in graph theory and network design. I'll talk about some of the motivation and history of the subject, including Cayley's famous formula that counts the number of spanning trees of a complete graph. Then we'll use that formula to figure out the probability that a randomly chosen subtree of a complete graph is a spanning tree. This is joint work with Alex Chin, Kelly MacPhee and Charles Vincent, three undergraduates in Lafayette College's REU program last summer. No prior knowledge of graph theory will be assumed.

Solving Towers of Hanoi and Related Puzzles
We start by solving the well-known Towers of Hanoi puzzle. Then we solve a lesser known puzzle, Spin-Out. We notice that these puzzles can be described as graphs and define a family of graphs, the {\it iterated complete} graphs which generalize these puzzle graphs. Generalized Towers of Hanoi puzzles correspond to these graphs with odd dimension, and generalized Spin-Out puzzles correspond to these graphs with dimension a power of 2. By "crossing" these puzzles, we obtain combination puzzles for every natural number bigger than 1. We show that these combination puzzles can be solved in essentially the same way as Towers of Hanoi and Spin-Out. We also show how to compute the number of moves between any two configurations of these puzzles. Our iterated complete graphs have a number of remarkable properties. For example, they have Hamiltonian paths and perfect one-error-correcting codes – properties that are NP-complete for general graphs. We also discuss computational complexity and show that many calculations on our graphs. We also discuss computational complexity and show that many calculations on our graphs and puzzles can be carried out by finite state machines.

A Prime Producing Polynomial
To me, prime numbers are interesting. Although there are not as many practical applications like in statistics, physics, and engineering; there is a certain mystery and challenge in their study. My study of prime numbers has revealed many unsolved problems. For example, although it is known that many linear functions with integer coefficients and integer input variables will produce a sequence with an infinite number of prime numbers in it (Dirichlet's Theorem), it is not known if this is the case for polynomials of degree 2 or more. This is the Bouniakowsky Conjecture. This talk will focus on a quadratic polynomial, namely x^2 + x + 41. It is my finding that many restrictions on x will yield an infinite sequence of composite numbers.
2/20 K. Tucker (a.k.a. k-TUCK)
Enumeration and Projection Dependence of 1-Singular Knots
I will describe the methods of enumerating knots with a lone singularity developed during the James Madison University Knot Theory REU, methods we used to distinguish these one-singular knots, and surprising difficulties encountered along the way. These surprises include the projection dependence on the classic knots from which one-singular knots are obtained, even when the projections are both minimal in terms of crossing number. We also show that the two standard projections of (p,q)-torus knots yield different one-singular sets if p < 3q/2.
2/20 R. Robinson (a.k.a. Ray-Robins)
Convergence of Sequences of Polygons
In 1932, Martin Rosenman proposed the following problem in the American Mathematical Monthly:
Let Pi be a closed polygon in the plane with vertices z_0, z_1,...,z_{k-1}. Denote by z_0^(1), z_1^(1),...,z_{k-1}^(1) the midpoints of the sides. Using z_0^(1), z_1^(1),...,z_{k-1}^(1) as vertices, we derive a new polygon, denoted by Pi^(1). Apply the same procedure to derive the polygon Pi^(2). After n constructions, we obtain polygon Pi^(n). Show that Pi^(n) converges, as n approaches infinity to the centroid of the original points.
I will present various approaches to the solution of this and related problems.

Spatial Statistics - Logistic Regression, the Autologistic Model and Mountain Pine Beetle
When information on a binary response variable is collected for many observational units, the logistic model is commonly implemented to describe the probability of "success" as a function of one or more explanatory variables. As long as the response variables are independent, such a paradigm is appropriate. However, when binary responses on a regular lattice are observed in space and/or time, spatio-temporal dependencies typically exist and the logistic model is rendered invalid. Thespatio-temporal autologistic model is an intuitive extension of the logistic model that accommodates such a lack of independence. In this talk we will review the logistic model and introduce the spatio-temporal autologistic model along with the inherent challenges associated with its implementation.
Data on the spread of Mountain Pine Beetle in Montana will be used to motivate the generalization of the logistic model into the space-time domain.

College Entrance Exam Firms, Nonprofit Efficiency, and Testing Fees
College entrance exam companies such as the College Board or the ACT claim nonprofit status. Theoretically these companies should not have high costs and considering that they aren't profit driven, we would expect to see low testing fees. In reality this is not the case and many would claim that it stems from the inefficiency of the nonprofit. I analyzed whether high test fees could be the result of a company's primary mission rather than inefficiency. Using the team incentive problem and the role of a budget breaker, I showed that nonprofits can induce workers to provide an effort level that minimizes costs in order to maximize net revenue. Assuming the firm has idealistic workers, the model can be extended where we still maximize net revenue without a principal playing the role of a budget breaker. The primary mission of nonprofits takes the form of a publicly valued good or service and that by maximizing revenue they can maximize the amount allocated to producing the public good. This implies that test takers may pay high fees not because the firm necessarily is inefficient but because the firm is trying to maximize how much of the public good is produced.

Topology, Homology, and Applications to Data
Topology is the subfield of mathematics that is concerned with the study of shape. Mathematicians have studied topological questions for the past 250 years. In the past few years a new interdisciplinary field has blossomed bringing together topologists, statisticians, computer scientists, engineers and others, to use topological ideas to study data sets in new and exciting ways. We will discuss one of the new topological tools that has been developed called persistence homology.
This talk will be an introduction to topology and the concept of homology. We will then use homology to a look at examples of how topological ideas can be used to give new and surprising insight towards understanding data. This talk will emphasize examples and concepts. Prerequisites will be minimal.

Unipancyclic Matroids
A unipancyclic (UPC) graph is a graph containing exactly one cycle of every possible size. Only a handful of these are known to exist, although searches have been performed through all graphs with 56 or fewer vertices. We generalized this problem by seeking to find and characterize UPC matroids. There are UPC matroids that are not graphic, so this does result in a larger family. In this talk, we will discuss the progress from the summer's research program.

What is a Matroid? Investigations of asymptotic enumeration in matroids
In 1933, three Harvard junior-fellows tied together recurring themes in mathematics into what Gian Carlo Rota called one of the most important ideas of our day. They were finding independence everywhere they looked. Do you? We find that matroids are everywhere: Vector spaces are matroids; We can define matroids on a graph. Matroids are useful in situations that are modeled by both graphs and matrices. We consider how we can ask research questions about matroids, and look into results from a student's investigation.
Two matroids are commonly defined on a graph: the familiar cycle matroid and the more rarely-encountered bicircular matroid. The bases of the cycle matroid are the spanning trees of the associated graph; the bases of the bicircular matroid are all subgraphs of the graph, each of whose connected components contain exactly one cycle and (possibly) other edges. We enumerate the bases of the bicircular matroid for several classes of graphs. For a given graph, usually there are more bases of the bicircular matroid than of the cycle matroid. We ask when these numbers are the same. We also consider when there are more bases of the cycle matroid, and what this translates to in terms of the structure of the graph. No prior knowledge of matroids or graphs is needed!

Put Your Thinking CAPS On (Exploring Finite Geometry in the Card Game SET®)
Besides being a great card game, SET® serves as an excellent model for the finite geometry AG(n,3). Using the SET® cards as a visual representation, we will explore the structure of maximal caps and how we can manipulate them to discover new properties and substructures of AG(n,3). This work was done at the Research Experience for Undergraduates program at Lafayette College.

42 year old woman | Joliet, IL, USA | Seeking men 36-46 within 100 miles
I am looking for someone to laugh with. Somone who doesn't take himself too seriously. A man who still enjoys the little things in life!
I must say that this on-line dating is quite an adventure. Are there any decent guys out there? I am not looking to date anyone who is still married, separated, or just likes to chat on-line. I would like to meet someone who still enjoys talking on the phone, I don't mind texting, but I like hearing another person's voice. My work hours are a little crazy at times, but when I am off I do like going out for coffee, movies, walks or dinner. I am very active, so I am looking for somewhat of the same in another person. I am looking for an honest, funny, athletic man who loves to go out for an evening, as well as enjoying a night at home watching a movie or cooking. He needs to have a good head on his shoulders. He has to be a huge sports fan. I am a single, independent woman, who enjoys exercising, taking walks, watching the Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, and Cubs. I love to cook, but since I am on my own right now, I don't do much cooking. I am still looking for the right man to share my life with. I do not want anyone who just wants to speed date, or doesn't take things seriously. It is harder now that I am older, to find a decent guy who likes to hang out, and not all the time at the bar or sitting at home all the time. If you are the type of person who enjoys new adventures, as well as, still keeping it simple, please send me a message or give me a wink!

Middle of the Road
I love to go anywhere warm, especially in the winter! My family lives in Michigan, so I am a little "snowed out" from visiting with them over the winter months! Don't get me wrong, some snow is great, but the snow they received is insane!
I love all types of music. It all depends on my mood. No I am not a moody person! It just depends on the moment. As for favorite restaurants..I love all types of food as long as they are authentic. You know like grandma used to make. No fast food!
I love being active whether it is working out, running, playing sports, or just hanging out with my friends. I believe that life is too short and I want to experience as much as possible. I am up for new adventures as well as the activites I do now.
I love to read James Patterson books. There is something about reading a book with a cup of java, hot tea, or hot chocolate that really relaxes me when things are a little stressful!
