Comments about Jos. A. Bank Formal Self-Tie Bow Tie:
I returned the tie this weekend, box unopened, because I didscovered I'd already bought one from you last Mardi Gras! That tie--and, presumably, this oone--is very well made, and is supple and easy to tie. Very dressy and very attractive.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

EX3 Body Glove Camo 6.5mm Diving Hood
The Ex3 Body Glove Camo Hood is a vented hood that is anatomically design to fit the natural shape of the skull. The cut aids in preventing water in pooling in the hood. When a hood fits naturally, your head stays warmer because not too much water flushes into the hood when you are underwater. Additionally, the vent at the top of the hood helps trapped air escape from the hood so that you don't have water flushing into the hood. The bib of the hood can tuck comfortably in your wetsuit. The hood is comfortable around the face. We highly recommend it.

Although U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier found BP liable for "gross negligence" last week, some U.S. media failed to mention that he let BP off the hook on punitive damages. And that stuns me, given that the record seems to identify enough smoking guns to roast a sizable pig.
U.S. Coast Guard
Even Wall Street executives have to be smacking their heads over this one. The company that ran the Deepwater Horizon oil rig (before it exploded, killing 11 and filling the Gulf of Mexico with oil) has decided to give its executives bonuses for achieving "the best year in safety performance in our company's history." There are no words ...
U.S. Coast Guard / Petty Officer 2nd Class John Miller
Attorney General Eric Holder says the government is going after nine companies involved with the Deepwater Horizon spill "for government removal costs, economic losses and environmental damages without limitation." ... (more)
AP / Gerald Herbert
A government commission looking into last spring's eco-pocalypse in the Gulf of Mexico has detected a certain "culture of complacency" afoot at the trio of big companies implicated in the spill. Sounds about right.
AP / Charles Dharapak
That whole Gulf of Mexico oil spill thing? It wasn't just BP's fault—or so says BP. The oily megacorp released an internal report Wednesday that pointed to "multiple companies and work teams" that also, in BP's humble estimation, shoulder some of the blame for the disaster.
A chief engineer has testified to a federal panel investigating the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon that, despite his repeated admonishments, alarms and other safety systems aboard the offshore oil rig had been left disabled or unrepaired in the months leading up to the catastrophic April 20 blast.
White House / Pete Souza
A lot of pundits want President Barack Obama to turn terrible tempered in his handling of the Gulf of Mexico disaster. These critics ignore the real issue—the death grip the oil industry has on Washington and the state capitals of oil-producing states.
The news that British Petroleum began its latest attempt to contain the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill Wednesday afternoon with the "top kill" stopgap strategy would be more heartening if it didn't come so late in the game—and if there was more of a guarantee that it would do the job.
"Drill, baby, drill!" Those were the words that Sarah Palin used to electrify the 2008 Republican National Convention. But while she popularized that environment-be-damned slogan, it had already defined the eight years of oil-drilling policy that prevailed during the presidency of George W. Bush.
In the messy wake of the BP Gulf of Mexico disaster, three giants of the oil industry—the aforementioned British Petroleum, perennial favorite Halliburton and Transocean—were butting heads and looking to stick each other ... (continued)

Originally written on The Mark Graham Sports Blog | Last updated 10/8/12
During last night's Baltimore Orioles-New York Yankees ALDS game, two Maryland State Troopers assigned to the Yankees dugout asked players for autographs. The troopers entered the Yankee dugout in the ninth inning of the Yankees win and asked Nick Swisher and Derek Jeter for autographs. A witness to the event said, "Swish was livid", referring to Nick Swisher. Derek Jeter was asked if he's ever witnessed anything like this before, Jeter said, "What do you think?" The Yankees will most likely request for new troopers to be assigned to the dugout. Maybe the troopers were just trying to psyche out the Yankees, but either way it failed because the Yanks dropped five runs on the Orioles in the ninth to take a 1-0 series lead. Or perhaps the Yankees were fired up by the stupid request and fired back with a big inning.

Rob, you're well known as one of the greatest heavy metal vocalists of all time. Do you remember when was the first time you unleashed that voice and realized you had something different then everyone else?
Glenn: That's a good questions, I always wondered that.
Rob: I don't know, I think it just happens automatically. I think you're so moved by the music around you in a band that you just unleash it. That is a really cool question. I don't remember the exact time. A lot of it comes out of the writing and recording process. When you start recording extra things start to happen, I don't know what it is. When the red light goes on I think you subliminally are aware that your capturing something that's going to be around for a lot longer then you are. You just go the extra mile when you're laying down tracks and extraordinary things can happen. Something flicks on inside you like a switch and you just pour out a little bit more of intensity then you would if you were just jamming or rehearsing.
If I listen to some of the notes on "Run Of The Mill" on the Rocka Rolla album, which is 40 years strong this year, there's no way I can do those notes now. That's youth. The wonderful thing about the human voice is that obviously as you get older it matures and it changes shape and you can't put different strings on. So you're kind of living with the instrument as you get older but now it's just a sense of adventure and again, just jumping back to that previous question, I'm sure that my listening to all of the other extraordinary vocal talents that I was drawn to probably enabled me to think in a bigger way. Am I going to sing in one key or am I going to stay in one tone or register, or just let it wail, I've got to say the blues is responsible for that and particularly somebody like Janis Joplin. Listen to what she was doing and straight after Janis people like Plant came and went to the extreme of their vocal abilities.
As you said, your debut album Rocka Rolla came out in 1974, 40 years ago this September. What advice would you give to the Judas Priest of 1974?
Glenn: Don't change a thing.
Rob: That's brilliant. Don't change a thing.
Glenn: We've had the best years of our life in this band. What's better then to travel the world playing songs that you love? And the hardships we went through all build character and they bring you closer together, and we did go through a few hardships, but every band does and you have to live and learn from them. I wouldn't change anything.
Rob: Ditto.

NEW YORK – The disaster recovery center in Freeport, Nassau County, currently staffed by state and federal specialists, will become a disaster loan outreach center operated by the U.S. Small Business Administration beginning at 9 a.m., Tuesday, April 16.
This disaster loan outreach center will be open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The facility will continue to operate as a disaster recovery center until 8 p.m. Monday, April 15. It is located at the Freeport Recreation Center,130 E. Merrick Rd., Freeport, NY 11520.
A disaster recovery center typically meets the more immediate concerns of survivors, while a disaster loan outreach center focuses on funds needed for long-term rebuilding and recovery.
At an SBA disaster loan outreach center, homeowners, renters and businesses will be able to talk individually with SBA representatives. Visitors can ask questions about SBA low-interest disaster loans, get help filling out a loan application and submit completed applications.
No one is required to accept a loan, but returning a completed application could lead to other needs assistance from FEMA.
SBA disaster assistance includes:
- Home Disaster Loans – Loans to homeowners to repair or replace disaster-damaged real estate or personal property. Renters are eligible for personal property losses, including automobiles.
- Business Disaster Loans – Loans to businesses to repair or replace disaster-damaged property, including real estate, inventories, supplies, machinery and equipment. Businesses of any size may apply. Certain private, nonprofit organizations may also be eligible.
Survivors can obtain more information about the low-interest SBA disaster loan by calling 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 TTY). Survivors can download SBA loan applications at www.sba.gov or apply online at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Survivors who need to visit a disaster recovery center may do so at any of the other centers that remain open throughout New York.
To find the nearest center, the following options are available: Text DRC and a Zip Code to 43362 (4FEMA), and a text message will be sent back with the address. Also, the disaster recovery center locator is available at FEMA.gov/disaster-recovery-centers.
Individuals also can find a recovery center – and register for FEMA help – at DisasterAssistance.gov or via smartphone or tablet by going to m.fema.gov or by downloading the FEMA app.
Survivors who have questions or want to register with FEMA can also call the helpline, 800-621-3362 (Voice, 7-1-1/Relay) or (TTY) 800-462-7585. The toll-free telephone numbers operate 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. EDT, seven days a week until further notice.

We have followed Dr. Beshay from UT Southwestern to his new practice in Allen, TX. He is by far the most knowledegable and is very detailed when it comes to infertility. We are currently thinking about IVF and have visited so many others, but came back to Dr. Beshay!
Excellent Doctor. The best I have seen in DFW. I would highly recommend him and his staff anytime. Dr.Beshay has a great bedside manner and is warm, caring and compassionate. He does not make you feel rushed and really LISTENS to your concerns however insignificant they may seem.
Excellent doctor and staff. Dr. Beshay is friendly, easy to communicate with, and highly knowledgeable. My husband and I felt comfortable with him from our initial meeting. I have a complex medical history, and Dr. Beshay not only understood the root of my problem, but was willing to work with me when some other doctors wouldn't. We had a successful IVF cycle with no complications. I highly recommend Dr. Beshay.
My experience with Dr. Beshay is indeed the best one could hope for. My husband and I started fertility investigations while Dr. Beshay was still at UTSW, per my GYN referral. His calm and warm demeanor was so reassuring, so when he moved to his Allen clinic, we followed him there. The staff was so very kind, helpful and polite - and helped us work through any insurance questions, etc. Dr. Beshay walked us through all the options, and what his recommended path to fertility would be. Sure enough, we got pregnant on the first try! We are now 11wks pregnant and over the moon!! Dr. Beshay and all the staff at DFW Center for Fertility will always have a special place in our hearts - and we'll be sure to introduce baby to this "extended family"!
I have a very hectic schedule and so does my husband. Trying to get both of us in the same room at the same time during the work day is very hard. Dr. Beshay worked around our schedules and made sure that we are both present for every appointment - I like that. He is kind and genuine. I also like his thoroughness and honesty. We are now in the middle of this process...Keeping my fingers crossed!
He took the time to explain everything to me in a way I could understand. The wait time seemed to be shorter in the mornings than afternoon.
We saw Dr. Beshay and on our first visit we realized we were ar the right place. He was very informative. He was nice and caring. We travel a lot and have hectic schedules and he was able to accomodate us and design our treatments to our schedules. We are very happy with the care here. The staff are great as well.
Sweet and caring doctor. He LISTENED to my husband and I. I think that is what makes him better than some of the others we saw. He pays attention to detail and is very smart. I recommend him highly
Wonderful physician. He spent a lot of time explaining everything to me and my husband. He was very detailed and thorough.
One of the leading tubal reversal experts in the world!
he is one of the best doctors I've seen. he is caring and takes time to explainn things. he has great bed side manners. his office staff is very nice too and I would recommend him to everyone.

The Finest Known 1842-D Quarter Eagle1842-D $2 1/2 MS62 NGC. Variety 3-F. The only variety known for the year. Repunched 18 in the date; somewhat later die state without repunching on the 4. The reverse shows a series of die file lines above AME in AMERICA.
Only 4,643 pieces were struck, with fewer than 100 examples known today. This date is most often seen in the VF to XF grade range, and it is unlikely that more than a dozen or so exist in AU.
The strike is far above average for the issue and may be considered among the best on any 1842-D. The obverse is almost completely struck up, with the exception of some localized weakness on the curl below the ear; the reverse has nearly full central details, which is very unusual for an issue that is generally seen with a sunken, incomplete appearance. The surfaces show a number of marks, including a deep cut on the chin of Liberty, a shallow planchet flaw between stars 11 and 12, a thin planchet flaw on the inside of the eagle's neck, and a depression on the cheek of Liberty that was caused by foreign matter that adhered to the die at the time of striking. The luster is decidedly above average for an issue that is generally seen dull and with minimal luster. Both the obverse and reverse are covered with light orange-gold color that shades to a warm medium orange on the reverse. This is an exceptional coin for the grade, with a wonderful appearance.
In the most recent edition of Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint, 1838-1861, the 1842-D is ranked as the second rarest quarter eagle, along with the 1856-D. However, with a number of newly certified, high graded coins that have since appeared, the 1842-D is not quite as rare as formerly thought. That said, the 1842-D is still a rare coin in higher grades, and the Duke's Creek example is one of just three pieces ever graded Uncirculated by a major service. It is the single finest graded by NGC, and it is clearly among the finest known examples of this very rare issue.

Strange find
Retired Justice Victor Ovie-Whiskey, as chairman of the then Federal Electoral Commission (FEDECO) in the '80s it was who said that he would faint if he saw one million naira. He was reacting to allegations that "water passed under the bridge"so that he could pander to the wishes of the then ruling party. That may have been an overstatement, but it somehow revealed the relative innocence of the era.
But that was then; that innocence has gone with the winds, with reports of all kinds of fraud that Nigerians are being regaled with daily. The problem is not only with the troubling frequency but also the mind-boggling amounts that those involved in the various rackets cart away unconscionably, an indication of the depth to which values have sunk in the country. Really, it is not that corruption has just berthed in Nigeria; it has always been there, but people used to be mindful of the way they stole in years past, such that the owner would hardly notice. But that was then. These days, it is as if people are competing for the trophy of the thief with the biggest loot; they hardly steal in millions again; the vogue now is to steal big: in billions.
A case in point is the recent reported arrest of a serving federal permanent secretary and three directors, in connection with a N2billion alleged fraud in the Police Pension Office. Three other senior officers of the police pension scheme were also arrested. The scam was blown open by the Pension Reform Task Force Team (PRTFT) headed by Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina.
According to reports, the permanent secretary was arrested with N2billion cash, suspected to be proceeds of the fraud! Holy Moses! Retired Justice Ovie-Whiskey must have screamed in his grave at the possibility of one man withstanding the sight of two billion naira! We can imagine the number of Nigerians who must be wondering about how and where that kind of money could have been kept - if in Ghana-must-go bags, how many of such bags could have contained such a huge amount of money and stuff like that? That must have been a record haul in the history of suspected stolen cash recovered from a single individual at any given time in the country. Prior to now, there had been cases of people involved in such acts of fraud with many billions in their bank accounts.
But the ease with which these sums are being taken out of the system casts a big pall on the checks in the system. How come people are able to take away that kind of money without anyone blowing the whistle? Pension money for the police should, under no circumstance, not be in the custody of any individual. It should be safe in bank vaults. The fact that such monies could be withdrawn from banks with ease suggests a racket involving many people, including top public functionaries whose signatures are necessary to get the money out of the banks. This is probably a strong reason why such incidents easily get swept under the carpet.
Again, it is the integrity of our anti-corruption war that is at stake when these incidents occur. If with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), we still have such large-scale cases of corruption, then we are far from winning the war against corruption. Indeed, we have not started. And we would not have started until we prosecute successfully some high-profile people involved in the racket, to send the appropriate signals to other would-be thieves in the system that it can no longer be business as usual with regards to corruption. If police pension can be stolen, then no one is safe. Let us start teaching the right lessons now.

The sys admin's daily grind: Snoopy
Guide Dog
Sometimes sys admin Charly needs to know when exactly he did something ingenious on one of his servers. Finding an infallible memory aid is difficult, you might think. "Peanuts!" says Charly.
At work, I'm sometimes plagued by annoying gaps in my memory: What exactly was the name of that neat tool that I used to flash the LEDs on a specific network adapter to help me find the NIC in the rack? Or: How exactly did I delete all files that were more than a week old in a directory? The answer to all of these questions is in the Bash history, but Murphy's Law dictates that the history is always a little bit too short. And, in my case, there's another degree of uncertainty: Which server did I do this on?
Snoopy potentially offers a solution. The small library with the dog's name, wraps around
execve() and always wakes up when the computer runs a command. Many distributions have Snoopy in the pen, but if not, GitHub [1] will help you out. To enable Snoopy at boot time, you need an entry in
/etc/ld.so.preload. I added the following line:
/<path>/snoopy.so. The path is typically
lib. If you are building Snoopy yourself, the library is likely to be found in
/usr/local/lib/ or something similar.
Building Snoopy yourself does offer some benefits. For example, you can edit the
snoopy.h header file in the source up front. If you enter
#define ROOT_ONLY 1
Snoopy only logs commands that run with root privileges, but if you install the tool from the distribution repositories, this option is not set, and it logs any old command no matter who ran it.
Unless configured to do otherwise, Snoopy writes to
/var/log/auth.log. Figure 1 shows the log for some simple commands. The structure always stays the same; each entry starts with the user ID, followed by the session ID and the TTY you use. This is then followed by the working directory, which is important because Snoopy does not log commands like
cd /etc. Navigating the system is not the same for this dog as executing a file.
This information is followed by the full path to the executed file and, finally, the expanded command (e.g., aliases can cause an expansion). Many distributions run
ls --color=auto, so, in this case, if you only type
ls, Snoopy reveals all.
Collection Point
Now you just need to consolidate the logs centrally. I configured one server to accept the log messages from other machines. If the server runs rsyslog, you can just pass in the
-r parameter at boot time to switch rsyslog to receive mode. Next, you can tell your other servers also to send entries in
/var/log/auth.log to the newly configured syslog server. To do this, you just need to add one line to the syslog configuration:
auth,authpriv.* @<192.168.2.80>
The auth log tends not to grow drastically, which means you can rotate on a weekly or even monthly basis. Snoopy fills a substantial log of my heroic deeds of administration day after day – including typos and similar peanuts.

Originally written on IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught | Last updated 12/1/12
A report today says Ichiro is fed up by the Yankees' hummina-hummina-hummina on contract movements, and he will now accept calls from other teams. The AT&T phone system has gone in Red Alert, bracing itself for the surge.Don't know what to make of this. Could be Cashman simply had more pressing priorities, such as signing Kuroda, signing Andy, signing Mo, and rappelling down a building with Bobby V. Or it could be the Yankees' way of saying sayonara. Listen: Ichiro saved his career last September. He came to NY looking like the Japanese version of Rocco Baldelli, whatever that is. He was a quintessential Yankee acquisition: Five years beyond prime, two beyond stardom, and on the verge of platoon status. Considering his name and legacy, Seattle didn't ask much in return.Instantly, we loved him. Eventually, he started hitting. He developed a little home run flick for Mayor Rudy's Bandbox, and he even inspired David Cone one night to describe him as swinging a "chopstick." (I nom...

'Please Give': Perilously Close to Perfection
In 90 minutes, Nicole Holofcener links love, mortality and real estate
Measured by its running time or physical scale, Nicole Holofcener's "Please Give" comes up short (90 minutes) and small (most of the action plays out in Manhattan apartment houses). But size can be deceiving. This gorgeous film, always tender and sometimes dark, is a deeply resonant comic drama that's concerned with nothing less than life, death, love, sex, guilt and the urban logic of mortality. (If people didn't die, their apartments would never change hands and get remodeled.)
A brilliant title sequence—a succession of breasts being positioned for mammograms—serves notice that "Please Give" could only have been made by a woman. And it could only have been made by a New Yorker born and bred, since real estate is the tie that binds, and constantly chafes, the movie's main characters. Kate and Alex (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt) live with their querulous daughter Abby (Sarah Steele) in a nice building on lower Fifth Avenue. In order to expand their living quarters, they've bought the apartment of their next-door neighbor, and will eventually break through. But the deal allows the apartment's owner, a prickly nonagenarian named Andra (Ann Guilbert), to continue living there until such time as her spirit vacates her body's premises.
What's more, Kate and Alex are antique furniture dealers who acquire the contents of whole apartments at estate sales: "We buy from the children of dead people," he tells a customer cheerfully. That doesn't make them grave robbers, and it doesn't give Alex pause; nothing does. But Kate has a different perspective. Like the kid in "The Sixth Sense," she sees dead people. She sees them sitting in the chairs they died in, cherished pieces of comfortable furniture that the children of the dead now scorn as moldy bric-a-brac.
In a film that constitutes a showcase for the actor's—and director's—craft, Kate is a memorable character played by a particularly wonderful actress whose recent performances seem to have been stripped of all artifice. Ms. Keener has the gift of quietude. She can broadcast fondness in absolute silence, radiate love and turn rueful or reflective in the blink of an eye. (The movie ends on a blink of her eye.) Kate suffers, comically, from a surfeit of empathy, along with an excess of liberal guilt. She keeps her local transvestite homeless person supplied with Chanel lipstick, flunks out as a volunteer because retarded kids and decrepit old folks make her weep, mistakenly offers her doggie bag to a black man waiting on the sidewalk for a table. "He looked homeless," she says. "He looked like a black man waiting for a table," Alex replies. (Mr. Platt is terrific too, a maestro of semisequiturs.)
If "Please Give" falls slightly short of perfection—and I'm not at all sure it does—the flaw may lie in the title. The case against it is simple enough; a vaguely off-putting connection with handouts. But the case for it is more compelling. Ms. Holofcener's film is very much about empathy, and draws a sharp distinction between those who do and don't have it to give.
Alex may have his supply buried somewhere, but he's too frightened of growing old—of "hitting the wall"—to worry about the plight of others. His and Kate's daughter Abby doesn't have empathy yet. She's too young, too unhappy with her body (as are many of the women in Ms. Holofcener's films) and living in terror that her zits will swallow her face.
One of Andra's two granddaughters has it. Rebecca, a medical technician who administers mammograms, is kind to everyone but herself; if only this awkward, sweetly spacey young woman could X-ray her own soul to see how good she is. (It's hard to overstate how good Rebecca Hall is in the role, and hard to believe that she's the same actress who played David Frost's sleekly sophisticated girlfriend in "Frost/Nixon.")
The other granddaughter, Mary (a fine portrayal by Amanda Peet), doesn't have it, and that's an understatement. Ms. Holofcener's script has Mary speaking in Andra's presence as if her grandmother were already dead. It's a chilling spectacle bordering on a horror show, and not only because Mary, a cosmetician, is so steely and self-loathing.
The film is just as unsparing in its depiction of Andra as a toxic old crone, an equal-opportunity insulter who's tottering friendless and aggrieved toward the end of her days. In a deceptively simple scene set in the Catskills, Andra gets out of a car to join Rebecca, Rebecca's new boyfriend and her boyfriend's mother (a lovely performance by Lois Smith), all of whom are looking at the autumn leaves. Andra looks for herself, then declares: "This is nothing!" In fact, the colors are less than dazzling. A few yards away, though, the others discover the vista they've been looking for. They urge Andra to join them, but she refuses to take another step. Her sullen refusal reveals exactly who she is, and who she's probably been for much of her blighted life.
"Please Give" is packed with revelatory scenes of deceptive simplicity and remarkable concision: Kate and Alex coming upon their beloved, troubled Abby as she surveys a rack of cosmetics in a drug store; Alex embodying the adage that love is blind by grabbing a kiss while wearing plastic eye cups; Abby grasping a shattering truth when Mary makes an offhand remark about "this and that"; Rebecca's response, muted but heartfelt, to an event she's been fearing; Mary's callous indifference to the same event.
Such scenes and privileged moments don't have the feel of conventional drama because it isn't Ms. Holofcener's style to insist on their importance. Ever since the start of her feature career almost 15 years ago, she has been steadfast in emphasizing spontaneity over impact, character and behavior over narrative drive and natural flow over formal structure. The result has been a trio of distinctive films that are all, in their different ways, slightly less than the sum of their parts. Yet that's not true of this fourth one. Even though "Please Give" seems to have been cut from the same supple cloth and moves at an unforced pace, it's a fully dramatized and richly detailed account of fatefully intertwined lives.
By virtue of its brevity, sophisticated sensibility and independent provenance, it might also look to be an incursion into Woody Allen territory. (In fact the filmmaker is the stepdaughter of Mr. Allen's long-time producer, the late Charles H. Joffe.) Here, though, looks are deceiving. Ms. Holofcener's film, while consistently funny, has a haunting quality that sets it apart from anyone else's recent work. Its unstated subject is the possibility of kindness, and for many of its subjects the prospects are guarded at best. Even in the final scene, when Kate and Alex share their daughter's pleasure in finding a pair of jeans that make her feel good, the beatific smile on Abby's face makes you wonder what she'll think of her parents, and their furniture, when their time comes.

'Walking and Talking' (1996)
Catherine Keener, a mainstay of all Nicole Holofcener's films, is the much-put-upon Amelia, who's losing faith that she'll ever come within shouting distance of Mr. Right. Anne Heche is Laura, Amelia's best friend since childhood and soon to be married to a man played by Todd Field (who directed "In the Bedroom.") Neither woman lacks for events in her life, but the essence of the film lies in the depth and texture of their friendship. The exceptional cast includes Liev Schreiber, Kevin Corrigan, Randall Batinkoff, Vincent Pastore, Rafael Alvarez and Allison Janney.
'Lovely and Amazing' (2001)
Ms. Holofcener's second film is about four women obsessed with how they look. One of them, Elizabeth (Emily Mortimer), asks Kevin, a smarmy actor played by Dermot Mulroney, to tell her what's right and wrong with her body. There's nothing wrong with Elizabeth's body. She's a beautiful woman, inside and out, but so befogged about physical beauty that she subjects herself to the humiliation of being judged like a side of beef by a fatuous slug. Ms. Keener is Elizabeth's sister Michelle, a thirtysomething child and apprentice slattern drifting through life with a couple of kids and a soulless husband.
'Friends With Money' (2006)
Of the four women in Ms. Holofcener's third feature film, only Frances McDormand's Jane is flamingly angry; she's the most vivid character in the group. Not that the others don't have interesting issues, or that they aren't played with panache: Jennifer Aniston, Ms. Keener and Joan Cusack could bring panache to a reading of the stock tables. But the movie, set on the affluent West Side of Los Angeles, is a series of semiacute observations in search of drama, while Jane, a precariously married woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown, is her own drama queen.

In a house with more than one kid, there are bound to be some problems. Brothers and sisters borrow stuff, and don't always return it in top condition. Younger kids sometimes feel like the older kids get to do whatever they want. Older brothers and sisters think that the baby of the family gets more attention. These are typical problems found throughout the ages, everywhere in the world.
When brothers and sisters don't get along, it's called sibling rivalry (say: SIH-bling RYE-vul-ree). A sibling is a brother or sister and rivalry means competition. It's normal, but too much competition can make for an unhappy home life.
Let's talk about getting along with brothers and sisters. They're not so bad, are they?
A little competition isn't a bad thing. Sometimes it can keep you working hard — like when you and your brother spend time shooting hoops. If he's good at it, it may make you want to improve, too. But some sibling rivalry involves arguing, like when you think your brother is hogging the ball. People who love each other might argue sometimes, but too much fighting is unpleasant for everyone.
Have you ever heard of the green-eyed monster called jealousy? Sometimes brothers and sisters are jealous of one another. For instance, if your sister always does well at school, it may be frustrating for you, especially if your grades are lower.
Although you're probably proud of your sibling or siblings, it's normal to be a little jealous, too. It may make you feel better to focus more on doing your own personal best, rather than comparing yourself with a brother or sister.
All kids want attention from their parents, but sometimes you need to take turns. If you're feeling ignored or like your sibling is always in the spotlight, talk to your mom or dad. If a parent knows you're feeling left out, together you can figure out ways to help you feel better again.
Sometimes when you're jealous and frustrated, it's easy to lose your temper. Try to follow these tips to avoid getting into a fight with your brother or sister:
Hopefully, these tips will work. But if the situation gets out of control and you and your brother or sister start fighting a lot, you may need to talk to someone. Mean words can lead to hitting and physical fighting. If this is going on with you and your sibling, talk to a parent or another trusted adult.
It may be hard to believe now, but your brother or sister may turn out to be your best friend someday. Many brothers and sisters fight and compete with each other while growing up but become very close when they get older. As you grow up, your friends might change, but your family is your family forever.

IT IS the ultimate voice-recognition system. Without ever meeting him, a female lemur still knows the call of her father.
The ability to identify family members is important to avoid inbreeding. For large-brained mammals like apes that engage in complex social interactions this is relatively straightforward. Now, a team has shown that nocturnal grey mouse lemurs appear to do the same, even though lemurs are reared exclusively by their mothers (BMC Ecology, doi.org/jvx).
Study leader Sharon Kessler of Arizona State University in Tempe, believes that the young lemurs may associate calls similar to their own, or to those of male siblings, with their fathers.

1.5: Finding Limits
Learning Objectives
A student will be able to:
- Find the limit of a function numerically.
- Find the limit of a function using a graph.
- Identify cases when limits do not exist.
- Use the formal definition of a limit to solve limit problems.
In this lesson we will continue our discussion of the limiting process we introduced in Lesson 1.4. We will examine numerical and graphical techniques to find limits where they exist and also to examine examples where limits do not exist. We will conclude the lesson with a more precise definition of limits.
Let's start with the notation that we will use to denote limits. We indicate the limit of a function as the values approach a particular value of say as
So, in the example from Lesson 1.3 concerning the function we took points that got closer to the point on the graph and observed the sequence of slope values of the corresponding secant lines. Using our limit notation here, we would write
Recall also that we found that the slope values tended to the value ; hence using our notation we can write
Finding Limits Numerically
In our example in Lesson 1.3 we used this approach to find that . Let's apply this technique to a more complicated function.
Consider the rational function . Let's find the following limit:
Unlike our simple quadratic function, it is tedious to compute the points manually. So let's use the [TABLE] function of our calculator. Enter the equation in your calculator and examine the table of points of the function. Do you notice anything unusual about the points? (Answer: There are error readings indicated for because the function is not defined at these values.)
Even though the function is not defined at we can still use the calculator to read the values for values very close to Press 2ND [TBLSET] and set Tblstart to and to (see screen on left below). The resulting table appears in the middle below.
Can you guess the value of ? If you guessed you would be correct. Before we finalize our answer, let's get even closer to and determine its function value using the [CALC VALUE] tool.
Press 2ND [TBLSET] and change Indpnt from Auto to Ask. Now when you go to the table, enter and press [ENTER] and you will see the screen on the right above. Press [ENTER] and see that the function value is which is the closest the calculator can display in the four decimal places allotted in the table. So our guess is correct and .
Finding Limits Graphically
Let's continue with the same problem but now let's focus on using the graph of the function to determine its limit.
We enter the function in the menu and sketch the graph. Since we are interested in the value of the function for close to we will look to [ZOOM] in on the graph at that point.
Our graph above is set to the normal viewing window Hence the values of the function appear to be very close to . But in our numerical example, we found that the function values approached To see this graphically, we can use the [ZOOM] and [TRACE] function of our calculator. Begin by choosing [ZOOM] function and choose [BOX]. Using the directional arrows to move the cursor, make a box around the value (See the screen on the left below Press [ENTER] and [TRACE] and you will see the screen in the middle below.) In [TRACE] mode, type the number and press [ENTER]. You will see a screen like the one on the right below.
The graphing calculator will allow us to calculate limits graphically, provided that we have the function rule for the function so that we can enter its equation into the calculator. What if we have only a graph given to us and we are asked to find certain limits?
It turns out that we will need to have pretty accurate graphs that include sufficient detail about the location of data points. Consider the following example.
Example 1:
Find for the function pictured here. Assume units of value for each unit on the axes.
By inspection, we see that as we approach the value from the left, we do so along what appears to be a portion of the horizontal line We see that as we approach the value from the right, we do so along a line segment having positive slope. In either case, the values of approaches
Nonexistent Limits
We sometimes have functions where does not exist. We have already seen an example of a function where a value was not in the domain of the function. In particular, the function was not defined for but we could still find the limit as
What do you think the limit will be as we let
Our inspection of the graph suggests that the function around does not appear to approach a particular value. For the points all lie in the first quadrant and appear to grow very quickly to large positive numbers as we get close to Alternatively, for we see that the points all lie in the fourth quadrant and decrease to large negative numbers. If we inspect actual values very close to we can see that the values of the function do not approach a particular value.
For this example, we say that does not exist.
Formal Definition of a Limit
We conclude this lesson with a formal definition of a limit.
- We say that the limit of a function at is written as , if for every open interval of there exists an open interval of that does not include such that is in for every in
- This definition is somewhat intuitive to us given the examples we have covered. Geometrically, the definition means that for any lines below and above the line , there exist vertical lines to the left and right of so that the graph of between and lies between the lines and . The key phrase in the above statement is "for every open interval ", which means that even if is very, very small (that is, is very, very close to ), it still is possible to find interval where is defined for all values except possibly .
Example 2:
Use the definition of a limit to prove that
We need to show that for each open interval of , we can find an open neighborhood of , that does not include , so that all in the open neighborhood map into the open interval of .
Equivalently, we must show that for every interval of say we can find an interval of , say such that whenever
The first inequality is equivalent to and solving for we have
Hence if we take , we will have
Fortunately, we do not have to do this to evaluate limits. In Lesson 1.6 we will learn several rules that will make the task manageable.
Lesson Summary
- We learned to find the limit of a function numerically.
- We learned to find the limit of a function using a graph.
- We identified cases when limits do not exist.
- We used the formal definition of a limit to solve limit problems.

For another look at the definition of a limit, the series of videos at Tutorials for the Calculus Phobe has a nice intuitive introduction to this fundamental concept (despite the whimsical name). If you want to experiment with limits yourself, follow the sequence of activities using a graphing applet at Informal Limits. Directions for using the graphing applets at this very useful site are also available at Applet Intro.

The âHawks could be facing a maximum fine of $5 million and the loss of draft picks if the leagueâs investigation uncovers proof of allegations that Chicago discussed the possibility of Hossa retiring before the end of the deal, which would end Hossaâs cap hit.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the investigation in an e-mail yesterday, stating that league officials are concerned with the structure of the contract.
What it boils down to is Hossaâs cap hit over the 12 years is $5.23 million a season, but for the first seven years, heâll make $7.9 million a season before dropping to $4 million in 2016-17.
Itâs the final four years of the deal that have the NHL up in arms as Hossa is scheduled to earn $3.5 million, period.
If Hossa were to retire after the eighth season, the $5.23-million cap hit would disappear, too.
âWeâre trying to understand how it was negotiated and whether the intent and effect is to circumvent the cap,â wrote Daly.
