Poincaré disk model
In geometry, the Poincaré disk model or Poincaré ball model, also called the conformal disk model, is a model of n-dimensional hyperbolic geometry in which the points of the geometry are in an n-dimensional disk, or unit ball, and the straight lines consist of all segments of circles contained within the disk that are orthogonal to the boundary of the disk, plus all diameters of the disk. Along with the Klein model and the Poincaré half-space model, it was proposed by Eugenio Beltrami who used these models to show hyperbolic geometry was equiconsistent with Euclidean geometry.
If u and v are two vectors in real n-dimensional vector space Rn with the usual Euclidean norm, both of which have norm less than 1, then we may define an isometric invariant by
where denotes the usual Euclidean norm. Then the distance function is
Such a distance function is defined for any two vectors of norm less than one, and makes the set of such vectors into a metric space which is a model of hyperbolic space of constant curvature −1. The model has the conformal property that the angle between two intersecting curves in hyperbolic space is the same as the angle in the model.
The associated metric tensor of the Poincaré disk model is given by[1]
where the xi are the Cartesian coordinates of the ambient Euclidean space. The geodesics of the disk model are circles perpendicular to the boundary sphere Sn−1.
Relation to the hyperboloid model[edit]
The Poincaré disk model, as well as the Klein model, are related to the hyperboloid model projectively. If we have a point [t, x1, ..., xn] on the upper sheet of the hyperboloid of the hyperboloid model, thereby defining a point in the hyperboloid model, we may project it onto the hypersurface t = 0 by intersecting it with a line drawn through [−1, 0, ..., 0]. The result is the corresponding point of the Poincaré disk model.
For Cartesian coordinates (t, xi) on the hyperboloid and (yi) on the plane, the conversion formulae are:
Compare the formulae for stereographic projection between a sphere and a plane.
Analytic geometry constructions in the hyperbolic plane[edit]
A basic construction of analytic geometry is to find a line through two given points. In the Poincaré disk model, lines in the plane are defined by portions of circles having equations of the form
which is the general form of a circle orthogonal to the unit circle, or else by diameters. Given two points u and v in the disk which do not lie on a diameter, we can solve for the circle of this form passing through both points, and obtain
If the points u and v are points on the boundary of the disk not lying at the endpoints of a diameter, the above simplifies to
We may compute the angle between the circular arc whose endpoints (ideal points) are given by unit vectors u and v, and the arc whose endpoints are s and t, by means of a formula. Since the ideal points are the same in the Klein model and the Poincaré disk model, the formulas are identical for each model.
If both models' lines are diameters, so that v = −u and t = −s, then we are merely finding the angle between two unit vectors, and the formula for the angle θ is
If v = −u but not t = −s, the formula becomes, in terms of the wedge product (),
If both chords are not diameters, the general formula obtains
Using the Binet–Cauchy identity and the fact that these are unit vectors we may rewrite the above expressions purely in terms of the dot product, as
Isometric Transformations[edit]
The analog of a reflection about a line in hyperbolic space is a reflection about a geodesic, which can be represented in the model as a circle inversion about the circle that represents the geodesic. Rotations and translations can be represented as a combination of two reflections about different geodesics. In the case of rotations, the two geodesics intersect, while in the case of translations, they do not.
One result of this is that if hyperbolic space is translated such that the origin in the unit Poincaré disk is translated to , is translated to
This also applies for higher dimensions.
Artistic realizations[edit]
M. C. Escher explored the concept of representing infinity on a two-dimensional plane. Discussions with Canadian mathematician H.S.M. Coxeter around 1956 inspired Escher's interest in hyperbolic tessellations, which are regular tilings of the hyperbolic plane. Escher's wood engravings Circle Limit I–IV demonstrate this concept between 1958 and 1960, the final one being Circle Limit IV: Heaven and Hell in 1960.[2] According to Bruno Ernst, the best of them is Circle Limit III.

This is the most superior makeup product I've ever owned. The bronzer applies silky smooth and has just the tinest amount of gold shimmer to deflect light from wrinkles/blemishes. The blush is such a flattering shade of peachy-pink. Use both of these together and I swear people will think you are 'glowing' as I've been told MANY times. (This is my secret!)I apply the bronzer all over with a big soft fluff brush from sonia kashuk, and it is nearly impossible to over apply or streak. I apply the blush with a "flat-top" blush brush to the tops of my cheek bones up a little into the temples and down a little into the hollows of my cheeks(almost like in a "3" motion) Also, I am very acne-prone and these products have NEVER broken me out or clogged my pores!*For skintone reference, I am normally the second shade from the lightest in many foundations.

I love this duo. I never wear blush because i hate looking overdone , but when i wear this duo it looks so natural and it makes me look like i just came from the beach. The price is a little much but its totally worth it.

Very sleek packaging, takes up little space in my bag. Orgasm alone is decent on me, but together with laguna, its amazing. The 2 colors compliment each other beautifully. I do a light bronzing all over, then define cheeks wipe more laguna, with orgasm on the apples, and its fab. People ask if ive been to the beach, and say my face looks gorgeous!. I dont like the light sparkle in orgasm cuz it can seep into big pores and make them more obviouse, but overall its really pretty together. It is expensive tohugh.

I really like this duo. The Bronzer is a very natural colour and goes well with the orgasm blush. I will probably buy this again. The one problem I have is that it is way too expensive.

HG bronzer and blush together, what more could you ask for?
Laguna: Perfect bronzer shade for me, usually I maintain my fakebake tan fairly well but when I don't have time adding extra amounts of this still looks natural and healthy on me. Despite the shimmer it looks like real skin so much that I even use it for face sculpting to emphasize my cheek bones, sweep along temples and hair line and to diffuse my double chin. Perfecttt.
Orgasm: It didn't become a classic for no reason is all I can say. Really I can't lay enough praise on NARS for this color. The first coat is always sheer so even when I'm my natural PPP self it doesn't look overdone at all. Adding a layer or two adds just enough intensity for my tan which is around an NW30. If I ever feel like looking really rosy cheeked, I add more. It's so universal and customizeable that I really don't own any other blushes or buy anymore, what need is there?

Orgasm is the first blush I've used since I was a gawky teenager who knew nothing about makeup application. I had sworn off blush for years because I thought it made me look like a clown. Thankfully, Orgasm is just light and sheer enough to compliment my ghostly winter complexion, but dark enough to still look great after my Italian comes out in the summer time.
Laguna is cool, too, but the last reviewer was right. A little bit goes a LOOOONNNG way with this bronzer. I use the big Urban Decay powder brush as lightly as possibly when applying it and it gives me just enough color so I don't look like an idiot.
It's overall a good combo, but I definitely use the Orgasm side more often than the Laguna side.

It took me a while to like this one .At first the laguna was unbearably dark for me and ended up looking muddy brown with patches on my skin , i think i got the hang of it now . This IS really a bronzer (in stead of a highlighter ) with lots of pigment , so you need to be careful a little while applying it .My mistake was to rub the kabuki brush over my skin carefree at the beginning . I think it works better with a blush brush and a little goes long way .I 'd sometimes mix the laguna and the orgasm sweeping the brush on both of them , and sometimes use them seperately, but no matter what i get compliments when i use this .Just remember, it's not foolproof.

I love this duo. I tend to break out and this for some odd reason, it looks like I don't with the blush. I've gotten compliments saying wow ur skin looks awesome...and for the bronzer, it looks subtle on me cuz I'm a little tanner but love it anyways. It's perfect. It doesn't look fake. I would totally buy this again.

first off i hate bronzer and I hate powder blush... I love this duo! its the perfect combo.not too sparkly and works well together. I actually look healthy with this stuff. the only down side is if you have any dryness it or uneven patches it goes on uneven so you need to make sure your skin is exfoliated and moisurised well . also it does highlight laughter lines if you go up too far.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 12/29/12
According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, the Mets are scouring the market for bullpen help. Heyman mentions Jose Valverde, Francisco Rodriguez and Matt Capps as possible players the Mets might kick the tires on, but do we really want to go there? It would have been nice to get a reliever like Jeremy Affeldt, who will get paid less than our own Frank Francisco next season, but it was clear he wanted stay with the World Champ Giants who signed him cheap. Good job by Brian Sabean. The reliever I coveted most this offseason was former Royals closer Joakim Soria who is coming off Tommy John surgery that was performed back in April. The 28-year-old right-hander is a two-time All-Star and was signed by the Texas Rangers to a two year, $8 million contract with a team option for 2015. Soria is already throwing and is expected back in the bullpen by May. This young talent might end up being the free agent steal of the offseason and this was a coup for GM Jon Daniels. There's really not much lef...

US Warplanes Continue with Afghan Raids, Taliban Claim Mosque Bombed
US air strikes continued Tuesday on Afghanistan, concentrating on the northern province of Samangan and in the eastern city of Jalalabad, the official added.
Al Jazeera satellite channel said that the warplanes attacked a fuel tanker convoy and showed footage of the vehicles on fire.
And the Taliban claimed a US bomb landed on a mosque in the western Afghan city of Herat, killing and injuring people praying inside, according to AFP.
Abdul Hanan Hemat, head of the Taliban's Bakhtar information agency, was quoted as saying that the mosque victims were among 15 people killed and 25 wounded in overnight bombing by US warplanes in Herat.
He also said four people were killed and 10 injured when bombs fell on homes in Daman, 15 kilometers (10 miles) south of the Taliban's stronghold of Kandahar in southern Afghanistan. Kandahar has been one of the key targets of the US bombing raids which started October 7.
The mosque was in the Qalae Shaier district of Herat and was destroyed in the attack, Hemat told AFP.
"People who were praying inside were killed and injured but we do not know how many yet," he said.
The Taliban have already claimed that more than 100 people were killed when a hospital in Herat was bombed on Monday. The United States has said they are investigating the claim – Albawaba.com

Does she exist?
I guess if you're going to take the time to read this I should make it worth reading. I'm not really sure what it is I should write here but let's give it a try. I have two beautiful daughters who hold my heart in their hands. They are the true meaning of love! I am not looking for a mother for them so please don't feel like you are being interviewed for that position. They are a huge part of my life, so if you don't like to be around kids please don't waste my time. I love to play and watch all sports. You can often find me on the golf course working on my game or finding new combinations of curse words. On Tuesday nights you can find me on the softball field playing with the group of guys I started playing with 20 years ago. I also like to take in a Dodger game along with some of those great garlic fries, or head to Staples for a Lakers game. I love to travel to Miami to see my Dolphins play and take in some late summer sun on the beach. I am looking for someone that wants to travel. My passport is in desperate need of some stamps and I am really looking forward to hitting some great spots over the next year. As for fun, I spend a lot of time on the river during the summer. There is nothing like being on the water all day with friends, good food and cold drinks! I also love to grill it up so it's not unusual to find me inviting everyone over during the week for a good meal. I like to catch a movie or hit the Improv to laugh all the stress away. I also like to hit my local pub and catch the game with a cold beer. What am I looking for? Someone who is who she says she is. I am tired of the bait and switch. I need someone who is very secure in whom she is. Someone who has her own dreams and knows how to make those dreams come true. Someone who even if she thinks I am wrong will have my back. Someone who has her own path in life but whose path is close enough to mine that we can hold hands. Someone who can handle my crazy friends and maybe have a couple crazy friends herself. I guess I'm just looking for "her".

Lyric Meaning
This line is in reference to conspiracy theorists claiming he's part of the Illuminati.
This verse is filled with sarcasm, along with dry humor. He is basically continuing the thought from how all this skill resides in his body to sorta say to his detractors that, proving he won't fit in a Bugatti lends truth to the claim that he's consulting with the occult to be this successful.
It is a mockery of non-believers' and their suspicious ways.
Could he possibly be pulling a "Walter White".

Press release from CNW Group
Boyuan Announces Delay in Filing Annual Financial Statements
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
Boyuan Announces Delay in Filing Annual Financial Statements22:26 EDT Tuesday, September 25, 2012TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2012 /CNW/ - Boyuan Construction Group, Inc., (TSX: BOY, BOY.DB, BOY.DB.A) a fast-growing construction company in China of commercial, residential and municipal infrastructure projects, announced today that the filing of its annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, the related officer certifications and the annual information form for the financial year ended June 30, 2012 (collectively, the "Annual Filings") will be delayed beyond the filing deadline of September 28, 2012. The Company's auditors have advised that they will not be able to provide an audit opinion by the filing deadline.As a result of this delay, the Company intends to make an application to the Ontario Securities Commission and other relevant securities regulatory authorities under applicable securities legislation for the issuance of a management and insider cease trade order ("MCTO") in connection with the anticipated filing delay. If an MCTO is granted, it will prohibit the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and likely the directors and other insiders of the Company, from trading in securities of the Company for so long as the Annual Filings have not been completed. The issuance of an MCTO would generally not affect the ability of persons who are not, or who have not been, directors, officers or other insiders of the Company to trade in the Company's securities.About Boyuan Construction Group, Inc.Based in Jiaxing City, China, Boyuan Construction Group, Inc. is in the business of commercial building and residential construction, municipal infrastructure and engineering projects.

Assless Chaps and Future Sounds: Arca Invades NY
Arca's sound is tough to label, even with the manifold micro-genres of the fractured electronic music landscape at your disposal. Bass rattles many of the London-based, Venezuelan DJ's compact, sinuous songs. But hip-hop, trip-hop and symphonic interludes relegate much of the young musician's sonic identity to the so-called "experimental" corner.Read More

For more than 80 years, this influential work by Frederick Winslow Taylor—the pioneer of scientific management studies—has inspired administrators and students of managerial techniques to adopt productivity-increasing procedures. Indeed, this book laid the groundwork for modern organization and decision theory.
As an engineer for a steel company, Taylor made careful experiments to determine the best way of performing each operation and the amount of time it required, analyzing the materials, tools, and work sequence, and establishing a clear division of labor between management and workers. His experiments resulted in the formulation of the principles expounded in this remarkable essay, first published in 1911.
Taylor advocated a scientific management system that develops leaders by organizing workers for efficient cooperation, rather than curtailing inefficiency by searching for exceptional leaders someone else has trained. The whole system rests upon a foundation of clearly defined laws and rules. Moreover, the fundamental principles of scientific management apply to all kinds of human activities, from the simplest individual acts to the most elaborate cooperative efforts of mighty corporations. Correct application of these principles, according to Taylor, will yield truly astonishing results.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
Bielema confirms Markuson out as OL coach
Madison - Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema on Monday confirmed the firing of offensive line coach Mike Markuson.
"(We) decided to move on," Bielema said. "It was really something that wasn't a knee-jerk thing by me."
Bart Miller, as reported, is being promoted to OL coach. Miller, 27, is in his second season at UW and was offensive quality control coordinator. He graduated from the University of New Mexico in 2007 and was an offensive lineman for the Lobos.
Bielema acknowledged he hopes Miller can be a bridge between what the linemen learned under former offensive line coach Bob Bostad and what offensive coordinator Matt Canada wants to do.
Bielema says there were no "personality" issues between Markuson and the players.
Why make the move now?
Bielema said he learned in his early seasons as a coach that if you see a move needs to be made, make that move immediately instead of waiting until after the season.
"Decisions traditionally are made at the end of the year," he said. "It always drove me nuts. As a young coach…I was involved on a staff where there were some guys that really weren't where they needed to be and it hurt everybody overall."
Asked what he thought the worst-case scenario would be, Bielema said: "We don't get better."
He believes the unit will improve but it will take time to regain the form UW fans grew to appreciate in 2010 and 2011.
"For us to have success," he said, "we're going to have a little transition. We're not going to turn into what we've been able to accomplish in the past overnight. We've got to take some baby steps."
Bielema said this decision wasn't made overnight and that he makes it clear, through consistent discussions with his staff, that assistants know what is expected of them.
He slept on it Saturday night and when he got up Sunday knew that move had to be made.
Perhaps the quote to note came when Bielema was asked whether outsiders might view the move as a sign of instability or panic.
"Panic is for the outside world," Bielema said. "Reality is what I live in."
Nevertheless, the reality is that Bielema fired his offensive line coach, a man he hired in January, two weeks into the season.
"Just felt that as a head coach I've got to make some decisions that aren't going to be very popular and from the outside world looking in may not make the most sense," Bielema said. "But I know how to win games. I know how to win championships. And the decision I made was one I'm going to stick with."

In 1991 I stopped by a gas station. I was thirsty. Didn't really feel like drink some kind of sugar drink. The only water available was Evian. It was like 3 or 4 dollars. I thought that was stupid.

Ott lifts Sabres to 5-4 SO win over Maple Leafs
"To me, that's one game over .500, if that make sense," Reimer said, laughing. "I don't know if it does. Maybe it doesn't, I don't know. Too many pucks to the head."
Bozak and Kadri scored 76 seconds apart to put the Leafs ahead 2-0 midway through the first period. And Toronto appeared in control 8:52 into the second, when Grabovski deflected in Jake Gardiner's shot from the blue line to make it a 3-1 advantage.
The Sabres responded by scoring the next three, capped by Ehrhoff's blast from the blue line 22 seconds into the third.
The Maple Leafs responded six minutes later. Kadri was battling Buffalo's Jordan Leopold in front when he managed to deflect in Cody Franson's shot from the right circle.
Accustomed to blowing two-goal leads, as Buffalo at Montreal on Tuesday, the Sabres showed they could overcome them, too.
"We didn't quit," Miller said. "We battled back and got a lead, which is great."
The Sabres also didn't shy away from the Maple Leafs' physical style.
Maple Leafs forward Colton Orr was ejected 2:09 in after he broke his stick in two cross-checking Patrick Kaleta off a face-off. That sparked a fight between Orr and Kaleta as well as the teams' two heavyweights, Buffalo's John Scott and Toronto's Frazer McLaren.
And Ott made his presence known by exchanging several shoves with Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf in the opening minutes.
"We matched size for size, hit for hit," Ott said. "That's why it was a 4-4 game in a shootout at the end of it all."
NOTES: The Maple Leafs were without LW Joffrey Lupul, who was suspended two games by the NHL earlier in the day for an illegal hit to the head of Tampa Bay defenseman Victor Hedman a day earlier. ... The Sabres were minus leading scorer Thomas Vanek, who is day to day after being struck by a shot in the right hip in a 3-2 OT win at Montreal on Tuesday. ... C Kadri entered the game with a team-leading 30 points (11 goals, 19 assists) in 30 games. At 22, he became the team's youngest player to reach 30 points in 30 games since 22-year-old Ed Olczyk did it in 1988-89.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — When writing in Spanish, it is perfectly acceptable to use the word "sandwich" to describe a tasty snack held together with two pieces of bread, to employ "parquear" to describe putting your vehicle in a garage or parking lot, and to type "vermu" when referring to the aromatized wine essential to concocting a martini or Manhattan cocktail.
Although such words may get on some Spanish speakers' nerves, they represent the continual evolution of the language, say the authors of the new Spanish stylebook by The Associated Press, the Manual de Estilo Online de la AP. "Nocaut" is correctly used to describe a knockout in the boxing ring, they say. "Cederron" can be used when talking about a CD-ROM.
Mexican poet and environmentalist Homero Aridjis will be among the well-known writers and journalists joining AP editors on Monday to discuss such Spanish language usage during the Latin America launch of the new reference tool. El Milenio newspaper columnist Carlos Puig and journalist Rossana Fuentes, a vice president with magazine publisher Grupo Expansion, will also be panelists.
"The Manual de Estilo is for language lovers," said Marjorie Miller, AP editor for Latin America and the Caribbean and the Spanish Service. She called the resource "a fascinating window into the evolution of modern, universal Spanish."
"Editors of the English-language stylebook receive about 50 questions a week on usage via Ask the Editor," said Miller, referring to a feature on the AP Stylebook website, http://www.apstylebook.com/ , that allows subscribers to seek clarification and guidance on style issues.
"We hope to have the same kind of online engagement with our Spanish-speaking subscribers to help grow and refine our Manual de Estilo," she added.
The new manual is designed as a guide for Spanish-language journalists, writers, editors and scholars of the language spoken by an estimated 450 million people globally.
Among the thorny questions it tackles include how to deal with modern technological terms, such as whether "tuitear" can be used to talk about sending a "tweet" from a Twitter account. The resource also weighs in on whether "emoticono" can be employed for the word "emoticon" and whether "faxear" should be used to refer to sending a document on a facsimile machine. (Yes, yes and yes.)
Available only on the Internet, the guide includes thousands of entries just like in AP's English stylebook, which has long been an invaluable resource for American journalists.
Also available online, the English stylebook is an essential reference for good writing. With the Spanish-language version, the original concept remains: to provide a uniform presentation of the printed word, to make a story written anywhere understandable everywhere.
AP editors say the Spanish stylebook aims to unify standards for that language in order to improve communication among its speakers worldwide. Spanish words can differ dramatically from country to country, and users of the AP's Spanish stylebook will discover the different meanings of words such as "guagua," which means "bus" in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, but "baby" in Chile and the Andean region of Argentina.
Alejandro Manrique, AP deputy editor for Latin America and the Caribbean and director of the Spanish Service, worked with bureau chiefs from multiple countries to compile the manual. AP journalists in Mexico City, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Chile and the U.S. helped out.

If I export a figure to Hexagon, set up shader domains on the model in Hexagon can I use the Transfer Utility to transfer those shader domains to the original figure?
I'm not sure if it does or not. Why don't you just make the changes in Studio with the polygon group editor?
Because the polygon group editor is a lot more tedious to work with than editing a figure in Hexagon.
To each his own. Even though I have been using hex for years I find it easier to do them in studio.
Setting the viewport, in DS, to 'Wire Texture Shaded' helps some…but I find editing in a dedicated modeller to be faster/more accurate.

Extended Interview: Colonel Brion Carleton Smith, M.D.
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
SUSAN DENTZER: Let's start by talking about in general terms what is happening now with the remains that are recovered at the site at the Pentagon. What is happening to those remains as they are recovered?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Right now, the remains are being flown to Dover Air Force Base, and the purpose for that is that back prior to Desert Storm, the Department of Defense established a fixed facility for managing a large number of casualties.
Now, in Desert Storm, there was an anticipation that there would be a very large number of casualties, and the facility up there was greatly refined. Fortunately, in that case, the anticipated number did not appear, but the facility is still there, and the facility is still used in any situation in which a large number of casualties has been generated.
Those casualties will undergo a thorough and very respectful, I might add, examination to attempt to determine the cause and manner of death. If DNA is required, then samples will be taken from those remains, and those samples actually will be transported here to our laboratory.
DNA analysis is just one of many tools that the Department of Defense and the rest of the forensic community uses to establish identification.
Dental means have not been replaced, and fingerprints have not been replaced, but they had been augmented by the use of forensic DNA.
SUSAN DENTZER: Let's, if we could, just go back and state all of the different ways in which identification can be made.
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Right. Ironically, out in the civilian sector, probably the single most common method of identification is actually visual identification, and that is a rather rugged requirement where friends or family come in and visually identify the deceased individual.
The Department of Defense long ago tried to avoid that circumstance and established all of their identifications on the basis of pure scientific methods. So forensic dental identification, in other words, radiographic comparison between what the individual's teeth looked like prior to death and what they look like after death has long been the key to most identifications, fingerprints as well, a well-established method of identification.
DNA just in the past 10 years has become a very powerful tool to augment those other two. By and large, DNA, because it is expensive and because it is time consuming, is used when conventional methods are either not available or unsuitable.
The Department of Defense, by and large, tends to use DNA in all circumstances, and so what I anticipate, although not being on the ground up there, we think we will be seeing DNA samples taken from most, if not all, of the remains that come through the Port Mortuary at Dover.
SUSAN DENTZER: And that would include both military and civilian Pentagon personnel who were killed in the attack?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Clearly, depending on the condition of the remains, the discrimination between who is military and who is civilian may not be a matter of easy determination. In that case, it would make a lot more sense to take DNA samples on everyone.
SUSAN DENTZER: How are the DNA samples obtained from the remains?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: The preferred sample is actually a small piece of soft tissue, generally muscle, usually 5 to 10 grams that is removed and put in a tube and sent to us for analysis. We also can analyze bone, and we also can analyze teeth as well.
SUSAN DENTZER: In how degraded a condition can a piece of bone be and still be a meaningful sample?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Well, that's a question a lot of people ask. There are several things that make it difficult to obtain DNA from a biological sample, and those essentially are high exposure to ultraviolet light, which I don't anticipate we will see, high humidity for long periods of time, in which case you see a bacterial proliferation whose–the enzymes that they produce tend to break down the DNA. I don't expect we will see that either.
Chemical contamination can degrade the DNA in the short term. What I am afraid we are likely to encounter here based on what I have heard about the recovery scene is burning, and high levels of heat do degrade DNA and may make it unsuitable for analysis. Seeing as how we are not entirely sure what condition the remains are going to be in, we are hoping for the best, and even with just bone and even with just teeth, we have had a very, very high degree of success.
SUSAN DENTZER: You said a moment ago that ideal samples come from muscle tissue. Why is that?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Well, it is not because any tissue source is any more rich in DNA perhaps than others. It is simply a matter of processing and the expediency of the processing and the laboratory. Bones and teeth simply take longer. Soft tissue is easier to process in the initial stages, and so that is our preference.
SUSAN DENTZER: In terms of the processing of the DNA sample, what is actually done here at the lab?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: There are essentially three stages. There is a stage in which the DNA is chemically extracted or removed from a tissue source, whether it is bone or teeth or soft tissue, and the technique behind that extraction step, of course, varies according to the type of tissue that is being targeted.
Then there is a second step in which the DNA that is resident in the tissue source is amplified; in other words, multiple. Sometimes millions of copies are made of that DNA template, and the third step is the actual analysis itself where you either look atg the DNA profile with nuclear DNA or you may look at the actual sequence of the DNA if you are studying mitochondrial DNA.
SUSAN DENTZER: For these purposes, is there a reason to analyze nuclear versus mitochondrial DNA?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Usually, our first choice is nuclear DNA, and the reason is it is most discriminating. The disadvantage is because you only get one copy from your mother and essentially one copy from your father. You are only having a single pair set or one of each to work with.
If that undergoes any of the degradation that we talked about in terms of ultraviolet light or bacterial decontamination, fire or chemical degradation, you have nothing to work with.
Now, mitochondrial DNA, unlike the nuclear genome, may have multiple, sometimes thousands of copies in a single cell, and purely by virtue of that numerical superiority, it is likely to be found in circumstances where the nuclear DNA is not. So we turn to that not as a last resort, but as a possible alternative when our initial efforts with nuclear DNA have failed. Usually, it is a case-by-case basis. There are circumstances in which we will use nuclear DNA, but depending on what references are available, which is an issue we haven't addressed yet, we may turn to mitochondrial DNA. By references, I mean even though we develop a profile from an evidentiary sample–in this case, a piece of tissue recovered from a scene–unless we have a known DNA profile to compare it to, we still don't know who that DNA profile belongs to.
SUSAN DENTZER: What is the ideal situation to be working with in connection with having to make a DNA-based identification?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Well, even in this tragic situation, we are fortunate because 10 years ago the Department of Defense developed a DNA blood stain card repository. The intention at that time was trying to avoid not being able to identify a deceased service member.
So, since that time, they have collected from all active duty, as well as reserve and National Guard component personnel, blood stain cards which are stored in a freezer warehouse. Then those cards will be pulled and typed for DNA analysis if those individuals should ever be suspected of being killed.
Now, I will tell you that that collection process right now, we have on the average about 90 percent of all active duty personnel represented in that repository.
Those samples actually reside in Maryland in a refrigerated warehouse at minus 20 degrees Centigrade, and as far as actual numbers are concerned, we have 3.5 million of them. The reason for that is that those cards are not destroyed unless they are actually requested by the individual when they leave active service and they are not subject to recall. So they are actually retained for 50 years, which is the same period of time an individual's medical or dental records are retained as well.
The importance of having a reference sample cannot be overstated. For the active duty personnel for whom we do have a blood stain card, then it essentially will be a direct comparison. We will do DNA typing on the cards of the individuals that we know are missing or unaccounted for, and then we will compare that known DNA profile with all of the DNA profiles that are taken from the remains coming from the Pentagon disaster. And those that match, we will be able to identify on the basis of DNA.
If for any reason we only get partial profiles–and that is a possibility in some degraded cases–then we can augment it with what other information we have in terms of dental or finger prints, as we previously discussed.
INTERVIEWER: Now, in terms of establishing the match, you are not looking to establish a match among all 3 billion base pairs of the human genome, right? What are you attempting to find a match between?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Well, fortunately, the forensic community is pretty much all on the same sheet of music as far as this type of science is managed.
The positions or the places or the loci, the locations, that we examine are the exact same that are used in criminal case work. They originally were established by the FBI for their combined DNA indexing system, and there are 13 positions and we examine those same ones. Those are the positions that are compared.
Now, when you look at a position, a position or a locus actually has two parts, and you will examine the data. You will see two numbers there usually. One number represents the piece of that DNA that was contributed by the mother, and the second number represents the piece of that DNA that was contributed by the father. So, when you look at a DNA profile, you are actually looking at pairs of numbers, much like we said in the beginning we are looking at pairs of chromosomes.
SUSAN DENTZER: And again, in an ideal world where you have got the actual reference sample from the individual, you will find those 13 exact matches.
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: That's correct, and that's important if you are using what we call a direct reference or the blood stain card, for example. That is a reference that is taken from the individual prior to death. So we call it a direct reference.
We also can use things like paraffin blocks, if the person had some surgery prior to that time or a biopsy. We have used wisdom teeth before. In some cases, we have been able to use baby teeth, and it is a less preferred approach, but we can actually use hair.
Cut hair contains only mitochondrial DNA. However, pulled hairs have a tissue bulb at the end of them that also contains nuclear DNA.
Pap smears, for example, have been a usable source of nuclear DNA to identify a person on the basis of that direct reference, and that is different from an indirect reference or a family reference.
If a direct reference is unavailable–and frequently in civil air disasters, a direct reference is not available–then we need to turn to the families, and that, of course, is a very sensitive issue, but if you think again about what we said of how an individual, their genetic composition is a combination of mother and father, then naturally the mother and the father is who we would turn to for a DNA sample, but remember, too, as you reconstruct that triangle, you have parent, parent, and then offspring. Your victim could in that case be either parent or it could be the offspring, and as long as you have the other two legs of that triangle represented, then you can reconstitute the genetic composition of that missing individual.
An example would be if I went missing, I might be able to be genetically redeveloped, if you will, for forensic purposes by having a sample from my spouse and also from my children because clearly my children are going to be a combination of my nuclear DNA and that of my wife.
By the same token, if both of my parents were able to provide a sample, we could redevelop what my genetic makeup would look at as well. So it is a series of triangles, and the best opportunity to identify an individual on the basis of nuclear DNA in the absence of a direct reference is by having the other two portions of that triangle available for analysis.
SUSAN DENTZER: With regard to the personnel in the Pentagon who were not on active duty, as well as potentially the passengers on the plane, who will actually contacting families and asking for provision of the samples?
COL. SMITH: By and large, the Casualty Assistance Officers for the three services will be addressing the needs of the individuals that died that were on active duty, but also the civilians who were–I'm sorry–civilian Army, civilian Navy.
For the individuals that were on board the American Airlines crash, there will be a point of contact established for those individuals specifically so those same requirements can be met for them.
SUSAN DENTZER: Typically, then, all of those family members will be asked to provide what?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: Ideally a tube of blood from suitable family members, and something that we encounter sometimes that gets misunderstood, as I have tried to just describe, what we are actually looking for are very close family members, either parents of the victim or a spouse and natural children of the victim, although there are extremely rare circumstances in which relatives much more distanced from that individual may be helpful. By and large, the only samples we are looking for are the immediate family.
A tube of whole blood will be helpful or, in some cases, an actual finger stick placed on a filter paper card can be used as well.
We can use in some very rare cases saliva samples. Right now, we would much prefer blood because there is a great deal more DNA in those samples, and if any of the samples have to be retyped or reanalyzed, the chance of having a greater amount of DNA is much more likely.
SUSAN DENTZER: How long do you think this process would take?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: That's a hard question to answer. I think the tempo setting portion of the operation is probably not going to be the DNA. I think the pace at which this entire process progresses is going to have more to do with the recovery operation and how quickly the bodies are found and how they are moved to Dover, which I think is being done in the most expedient manner possible at this time.
DNA is usually at the tail end, and usually if DNA slows the process down, it is our inability to obtain those indirect or those family references we told you about.
SUSAN DENTZER: Given what you know about this process, the complexity of it, the arduousness of it, all of the steps that must be taken, extrapolate, if you would, for me what will go on in New York now as potentially 5,000 individuals–relatives of 5,000 individuals are perhaps more seeking answers to whether–and confirmation that their loved ones really did die and that there may be some enumerable number of DNA samples to be analyzed as a consequence of that. What is that going to be like, do you think?
SUSAN DENTZER: Well, I think that is an intimidating number. It is hard even to fathom a situation that size.
I can tell you that the situations in which numbers of that magnitude have been involved are–for example, the International Commission of Missing Persons over in Bosnia is facing that challenge right now where they have between 10- and 20,000 missing, a substantial portion of those recovered. It is a major databasing effort, well beyond just trying to obtain DNA from the samples.
I honestly think that trying to append a timeline or an expectation at this point is probably a disservice to the efforts that will be made.
I think that in New York in particular and to a slightly lesser extent the crash in Pennsylvania, we need to be patient, let the nature of the problem actually clarify itself a little bit, and then I think everyone–I think the community has really come together in an incredible way here.
The forensic community has just stepped forward and said we are going to do whatever we can to get the answers that the families deserve, and I think we sort of need to clarify the problem a lit tle bit, and then I think you will find a lot of people who are willing to address it in the best possible way.
SUSAN DENTZER: If you could encapsulate just in a phrase the dimensions of this entire identification and DNA analysis, as well as other steps that will be taken to identify victims in New York — is it mind-boggling?
COL. BRION CARLETON SMITH: I think that is a legitimate question to a forensic scientist, and I think it should be couched, however, in the terms of the sense that all of us as Americans are experiencing right now. I think the entire thing is mind-boggling.
But like I think most Americans will find, I think the forensic science community will step back from it. They will absorb the shock of it, and they mentally and emotionally will deal with it. I honestly think that just like America will recover, I think that the forensic science community will be there to do the very best they can when the time comes.

31 year old woman | North Brunswick, NJ, USA | Seeking men 26-36 within 20 miles
Looking for a true partner!
I'm at a point now where I'm ready to be in a relationship and really share myself with someone special. By no means am I looking to rush into anything, but I'm ready to be open to a real future with the right person. I'm a middle school counselor and I absolutely LOVE what I do! I am passionate about helping others, especially kids. I am so thankful to have the job that I do and I try to never take it for granted. I come from a large family. We're all really close and I love spending time with them! It's important to me to be with someone who appreciates the value in family. I was raised Catholic and while I'm not crazy religious, I do attend church with my family more often than not and enjoy it. Traveling is one of my favorite things. I'm always looking for the next trip that I can plan - whether it's a day trip, weekend away, or large-scale vacation. I like having some sort of trip in the works most of the time! I also love baseball, going to the gym, cooking, baking, and spending time outdoors. I'm definitely a social butterfly and enjoy hanging out with groups of friends. I'm not shy in a crowd and love meeting new people. Music is another huge, huge passion of mine. I listen to everything, I play a little, I love it! I was born with a mild physical disability. It doesn't impact much at all of my day to day life, but I do walk with a limp of sorts and it is noticeable so I thought I would throw it out there. :) As for my match - I'm looking for someone who is interested in a long-term, committed relationship. Someone who will enjoy spending time with me, as well as my friends and family. If my match can make me laugh, that is a major plus!
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Swimming, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
I've actually never had any pets, but I've always wanted a dog and a big fish tank!
Middle of the Road
I love bake and try out new recipes. I love watching baseball. Traveling and reading are also on the top of my list of favorite things. I think I'd pretty much go anywhere I haven't been! I also enjoy trying out new foods and new restaurants.
I love live music/concerts, museums, and going to Broadway and Yankee games when I can.
I'm currently reading a sappy, girly novel! Most nights I read a lot of research for my field so I decided to read something light to balance that.

Kenneth Seaton has cruised, partied, walked his way to 100
Kenneth Seaton of Oxnard recently celebrated his 100th birthday with a family cruise and parties that drew 200 friends and relatives to Westminster Presbyterian Church. No doubt he followed each of them up with a nice walk.
A longtime square dancer and still an avid walker, Seaton attributes his longevity to good genes, healthy eating and plenty of exercise, including — since he got two knees replacement at 95 — walks all over Disneyland and California Adventure, walks in the Redwoods at Muir Woods, and a tour of the Jelly Belly Factory.
Seaton was born Feb. 7, 1909 — remarkably, on his father's birthday and 12 years before his brother also was born on Feb. 7.
Raised in Missouri, he moved to Santa Monica after high school and, in 1945, moved his young family to Oxnard to become parts and service manager at the GMC/Packard dealership on Oxnard Boulevard. He left in 1955 to manage his growing apartment business. He was an active apartment owner/manager until he retired at 97.
Active in church, Seaton also is a longtime supporter of the Gull Wings Children's Museum. He and his late wife of 64 years, Lois, helped establish an anti-burglary program that was a forerunner to Neighborhood Watch.
Seaton has a daughter, Elaine Boynton of West Hills, and a son, Paul Seaton of Homer, Alaska. He also has four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Hey, did you hear there was a big basketball trade last night? Yes, yes, Rudy Gay was traded! Ed Davis was traded! Jose Calderon, too! If you want to read all about the fantasy basketball implications of the deal you can click right on this here little link. You'll be magically transported to fantasy basketball trade analysis nirvana. Or Nirvana if you're a music fan. Well, now that we've covered the fantasy implications of the Gay deal, let's take a look at what else I saw in fantasy basketball last night: Glen Davis – Will have foot surgery and will miss 8-12 weeks or, in other words, lose him! But you already knew that. The usual suspects to grab are Gustavo Ayon, Andrew Nicholson and, my preferred sneaky stash, Al Harrington. Hedo Turkoglu is also someone who should be considered for pickup if he's out there. Someone has to score the ball! Just one ball, said Lance Armstrong. Moe Harkless – 6/3/0 with a steal in 36 minutes. Not seeing 36 minutes again anytime in the near future ...

My friend DROOKE posted this on TOM . Does anyone form ISU have any insights ?
Its true. He is staying.
Very interesting.
Worked out pretty well for the last high profile high school kid to go that route.
Probably a dumb question, but how long can he do that before the NCAA starts taking away "wrestling time"? Or can he do it forever and try to enter college after an international career without any time penalty?
I think Deitchler's issue involved his actually putting pen to paper for if not enrolling at Minnesota.
I don't think McCauley ever officially signed anywhere let alone enrolled anywhere. All he did was verbal to Wisconsin and then switched to Iowa State.
Ok, got it.
Destin did actually sign with Iowa State and is off limits to any other school until after school starts, he is not enrolled at Iowa State, then his LOI become void and free to start over again.

Does this mean Cejudo still has four years of NCAA wrestling available to him?

These brief awareness sessions focus on gender-based stereotyping in classrooms and labs and differential expectations toward male and female faculty members. The sessions are conducted by Dr. Dorothy Miller, Director of the Center for Women, and a Ph.D. student from the department of Organizational Behavior.
The goals of these sessions are to:
- create awareness of gender role assumptions and expectations
- increase understanding of how social structure is a factor in the development of gender roles
- introduce to students how they can be involved with equitable solutions to the problems that gender stereotyping causes
Presentation of research-based factual information is combined with discussions of personal experience in sessions for both graduate and undergraduate students.
Quotations such as the following from Case's Resource Equity Study are discussed:
"...they [students] expect this nurturance. I have a lot of students come to my office and argue with me about grades in a sort of threatening manner." - Case female faculty member.
"I have students come into my office thinking I must be the department assistant and ask where the professor is. I am the professor!" - Case female faculty member.
"Unlike the other students, I find that there is a problem with gender inequality here in XX… I didn't speak up because I didn't want my fellow students looking down on me… I appreciate what your program is trying to do…tell the class next time about what I wrote in this email, so that they know that someone sitting in that very room has experienced gender inequalities. But please, do not tell them who I am." - Female student, after a sessio.n
Please contact Dr. Miller to schedule sessions.

Lee Dong-Gook is set to miss Korea Republic's World Cup opener against Greece on 12 June due to a hamstring injury. The Jeonbuk Motors striker, who was left out of the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ by coach Guus Hiddink and missed the 2006 tournament through injury, is unlikely to be fit for the Group B clash. But the 31-year-old former Middlesbrough player could face Argentina on 17 June and Nigeria five days later.
There is only a small chance of Lee being fit to play against Greece.
"There is only a small chance of Lee being fit to play against Greece," said assistant coach Jung Hae-sung during Korea Republic's Austrian training camp. "The coaching staff will look at whether he will be able to play against Argentina and Greece."
Coach Huh Jung-moo will name his final 23-man squad on 31 May, the day after Korea Republic face Belarus. They round off their pre-tournament campaign against Spain on 3 June.

Scott, McCollum trade political punches at first debate of GOP gubernatorial opponents
DORAL — Down in the polls and the clock ticking in the closing weeks before the Republican primary, Florida gubernatorial candidate Bill McCollum came out swinging during his first debate with his opponent, Rick Scott of Naples.
McCollum, the state's attorney general, accused Scott of committing Medicare fraud while he was CEO of Columbia/HCA in the mid-90s, bilking taxpayers out of millions of dollars, showing "disregard for the rules," and attempting to buy the governor's office with millions of dollars worth of self-financed campaign ads.
"I don't think the people of Florida are going to allow you to do that," McCollum said. "I have a good record of public service that I'm proud of. I know that what I'm doing is right. I know that what you're doing is wrong."
Scott, in turn, described McCollum as a "career politician" and political insider. He cast himself as a political outsider and successful businessman who can turn Florida around.
"As you know, my background is in business," Scott said. "I've built businesses from scratch. I've created private sector jobs. I know what it's like to balance a budget."
The hour-long debate, which was held at noon at the Univision station in Miami, addressed a variety of issues of concern to the Hispanic community, including immigration, education and the economy. However, the issues were almost overshadowed by the personal attacks — a continuation of the attacks being played out daily in competing television and radio ads.
Each candidate accused his opponent of lying about his record.
Both candidates pledged to create jobs if elected. Scott promised 700,000 new private-sector jobs, while McCollum promised 500,000, in part by lowering taxes and regulations. McCollum defended his proposal to freeze property taxes, both at the state and local level, at 2010 levels for two years.
"We need to tighten our belt in Tallahassee and we need to tighten our belt at the local government level," he said.
Scott said the next governor should focus on state taxes.
"We often complain that Washington tells us what to do. But we sit there and it's OK for Tallahassee to tell us what to do," he said. "It makes no sense for Tallahassee to be telling local governments they have to freeze their property taxes."
Scott accused McCollum of flip-flopping on his support for Arizona's new, controversial immigration law. McCollum said he initially opposed the bill because it would have lead to racial profiling, but supports the amended version of the bill, which he said won't.
"Mr. Scott is manipulating my words," McCollum said. "He has been telling lies about my record all over television with his millions of dollars of personal wealth. And now he's doing it again tonight.
"I want you to know that I've fought throughout my career against illegal immigration, against amnesty," McCollum said.
To improve public education, both candidates called for merit pay for teachers and school choice. Both also opposed the recently passed national health-care bill. McCollum pointed out that he has filed a lawsuit in federal court to have it declared unconstitutional.
"I think it's great that my opponent filed a lawsuit. I hope we win," Scott said. "But a better option would be that we have a constitutional amendment that would outlaw that law, make sure that law does not apply to Floridians."
McCollum, wearing a black suit and baby blue tie, was the more polished debater of the two. At one point he attempted to paint Scott into a corner, asking him to address a recent comment he made in Clearwater about dealing with schools differently based on the "school's color." Scott didn't bite.
For his part, Scott, who polls show is leading McCollum by double digits, stayed on message, playing up his rags-to-riches personal story and business knowledge. Instead of responding directly to some of McCollum's attacks, Scott, who wore a blue suit and red tie, directed interested voters to a personal website and said his "opponent doesn't worry about the facts."
Scott's attempt at Spanish during his closing statement came across as forced and awkward. However, his campaign staff was on the ball, inundating reporters with fliers headlined "Setting the Record Straight" and "Bill McCollum Career Politician, Career Hypocrite."
Scott also had support before the debate, as dozens of people wearing Rick Scott T-shirts lined the sidewalk while holding signs reading "Stick with Rick" and "Rick para Florida."
"He's a businessman. We think he's better for this city," Miami resident Luz Castro, 76, said of Scott. "It doesn't matter what the newspapers say. The newspapers are always saying bad things about the candidates."
Scott and McCollum will debate again Thursday in Tampa.
