McGinnis: The many modern faces of SherlockWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
When viewers tuned into CBS's new show "Elementary" during its debut Sept. 27, its high numbers once more underlined pop culture's everlasting obsession with the brilliant British detective Sherlock Holmes. Few individuals are as fixed in the public imagination, yet as adaptable to reinterpretation, as the investigator who (usually) lives at 221B Baker St.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's immortal sleuth has been depicted on stage, radio and screen for more than a century. The "Guinness Book of World Records" names Holmes as the single most performed character in film history, with more than 75 actors taking up the mantle. (One imagines Holmes' loyal companion Dr. John Watson can't be far behind.)
The legendary detective clearly retains a tight grip on the public imagination, and all of the most popular modern takes on the character bring their own unique perspective and style to the case files of Sherlock Holmes.
- "Sherlock Holmes," film series
First released: 2009.
The concept: While maintaining Holmes' traditional Victorian setting, this series of films aims to deliver a more action-oriented Sherlock, with fighting sequences and pacing that is less Charles Dickens and more Chuck Norris. The end result still retains some elements of Doyle's work, but by and large follows its own path as a franchise.
Holmes: Played by Oscar nominee and "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., Sherlock is shown to be as much a man of his fists as his wits. Downey emphasizes Holmes' analytical tendencies while still ready for action. The success of the first film further cemented Downey's comeback as an A-list actor.
Watson: Played by fellow Oscar nominee Jude Law, this Watson, like most modern interpretations, rejects the idea of playing Holmes' bumbling sidekick. The good doctor is depicted well into his partnership with Sherlock, and has long since adapted to Holmes' eccentricities. Law's Watson is on relatively equal footing with Holmes — more of an equal than a tagalong.
Key creative figure: Director Guy Ritchie, who also made "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," "Snatch" and "RocknRolla."
Relation to source material: Limited. The plot feels less like a vintage Holmes mystery and more like a modern action film that happens to feature Doyle's characters, though some nifty sequences which show how Sherlock's mind works fit the material quite well.
The future: A sequel, "A Game of Shadows," was released in 2011; a third film is scheduled for release in 2014.
The verdict: While in tone and structure the films have little relation to Doyle's work, they remain very entertaining movies with solid performances and energetic direction. They play like what they are — flicks made for a broader audience, the kind that likes adventure more than intellectual gymnastics.
Where to see it: Both films are available on DVD.
- "Sherlock," BBC TV
First aired: 2010.
The concept: Updating Holmes and Watson to modern times while maintaining the British setting and telling stories directly inspired (to a degree) by Doyle's original work.
Holmes: Played by Benedict Cumberbatch, this Holmes is depicted as a committed social outcast with a mind that yearns for challenge and a burning desire to be right. Cumberbatch, a relative unknown to American audiences before the series aired, will soon have a much wider audience — he plays Smaug in the upcoming "Hobbit" movies and will play the unnamed villain in J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek Into Darkness."
Watson: Martin Freeman of the original "Office" and the film version of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" creates a companion that is just as interesting a character as Holmes, in many ways. An army medic recovering from serving in Afghanistan, his Watson is very much the man of action to contrast with Holmes' intellect. Freeman will also appear in the "Hobbit" films, in the lead role of young Bilbo Baggins.
Key creative figure: Writer and co-creator Steven Moffat, who is currently executive producer of the wildly successful "Doctor Who" series.
Relation to source material: All episodes so far (six through two seasons) have been based on Doyle stories, though the modern adaptations have felt free to stray considerably from the original structure.
The future: A third season has been confirmed and will be filmed in 2013.
The verdict: It's likely that fewer American fans have seen this version than the others on this list, which is a shame — it's easily the best modern Sherlock. Wildly enjoyable with whip-smart writing and acting, there's a reason this has cultivated such a fervent fanbase.
Where to see it: New episodes (when they're made) air domestically on PBS's "Masterpiece Mystery." Both seasons are also on DVD and available for instant streaming via Netflix and Amazon Prime.
- "Elementary," CBS
First aired: Sept. 27.
The concept: Another modern take, this time transplanting the still-British Holmes to New York City.
Holmes: Played by Jonny Lee Miller of "Eli Stone," this Holmes has just gotten out of rehab and is getting used to new surroundings. Miller brings the character blunt charm with a slightly softer edge than Cumberbatch's performance. (The two have more in common than just Sherlock, by the way — Miller and Cumberbatch starred together in a stage production of "Frankenstein" in Britain where they alternated playing the Doctor and his monster.)
Watson: A rare female companion, this show's Dr. Joan Watson is played by acclaimed actress Lucy Liu. Rather than being inspired by battlefield trauma, this Watson is a disgraced surgeon assigned to monitor Holmes post-rehab.
Key creative figure: Creator Robert Doherty, who has written for "Dark Angel" and "Medium."
Relation to source material: Very minimal. Besides the changes in locale and characters, the writing in the pilot is much more modern-American-police-procedural than vintage Holmes.
The future: The debut episode garnered more than 13 million viewers and a 3.1 in the key demographics, which indicates the show may have a solid future ahead of it.
The verdict: It's tough to rate a whole series based solely on the pilot, the only episode that has aired thus far. What we've seen has been a solid-yet-unspectacular re-imagining of Sherlock, with writing that isn't quite at the level of other versions. But with the creative and acting talent this show has, it could turn into something special.
Where to see it: Thursdays at 10 p.m. on CBS.

Things I liked:It's unfortunate that the Norica line of air rifles hasn't caught on in the states. They make superb shooters for a bargain price, and the excellent Massimo is no exception. I've wanted one since I saw it, with its Browning semi-auto shotgun look. The trigger is known as the "Spanish Rekord", and is smooth and fully adjustable. The fixed sights are very nice, but it's with a scope that it shows its true pedigree as a very accurate gun The Massimo is on the long side, yet it only weighs 7.5 pounds. The metal and wood work are top notch, making this gun a looker as well as a smooth shooter.
Things I liked:feels like a real good rifle and shoots even better! the open sights are so unbelievably accurate 15yrds i can hit anything with them(if i had more land i could test it further!). the trigger is super smooth out of the box and the safety is just as good. the recoil feels incredibly smooth as if its non existent and the recoil pad does its job very well.
Things I would have changed:the little vented rib gets a little annoying while cocking the gun. looks nice but it will probably bother others.
What others should know:great value and very strong! get a good backstop just in case this felt like more than 1000 fps!

Germany's human rights policy has a very concrete goal: to prevent human rights abuses and protect fundamental freedoms.
Respect for and development of human rights
Respect for and development of human rights are a key priority for the German Government. Article 1 of Germany's Basic Law describes human rights as the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world. This means that Germany has an obligation to respect human dignity and protect fundamental freedoms not only in Germany but throughout the world. Internationally Germany is pushing for the establishment of effective deterrents to repressive or arbitrary acts and exploitation.
Principles of German human rights policy
Human rights relate to every field of government policy. No policy field – foreign, security or whatever – can be "fenced off" from human rights issues.
Human rights are indivisible. Everyone has these rights, irrespective of their background, age, gender, religion, colour or any other attribute. Advancing universal respect for human rights requires attention to the whole spectrum of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. Human rights abuses are not just cruel. They also threaten international stability and security and within countries they undermine economic and social progress. Protecting and advancing the whole spectrum of human rights, on the other hand, promotes peace and development and helps people develop their potential.
Germany has signed up to nearly all UN human rights conventions as well as all core European human rights norms. On our homeground, too, it is important to monitor how effectively we protect human rights in practice. For only then will our stance on human rights around the world remain credible. In 2001 the German Institute for Human Rights was established with a mandate to monitor implementation of human rights conventions and educate people about human rights.
Responsibility for Germany's human rights policy lies with the Federal Foreign Office's Task Force for Human Rights. The Task Force works together with their country division colleagues and Christoph Strässer, the Federal Government Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Aid at the Federal Foreign Office, to advance human rights protection around the world. This is done in a variety of ways, ranging from human rights dialogues, demarches, public statements and behind-the-scenes diplomacy to project activities and public relations work in specific regions.
The success of these activities also depends greatly on ongoing contacts with the informed public and non-governmental organisations. The only basis on which lasting progress can be achieved internationally, is mutual respect. The Task Force for Human Rights and the Commissioner for Human Rights therefore attach great importance to dialogue and cooperation with partners from civil society, business and politics.
Human rights in Europe
The Council of Europe, which was founded in 1949 and whose members include 47 of Europe's now 49 countries, plays a crucial role in protecting human rights there. For Europe's 800 million citizens their last resort in human rights matters is the European Court of Human Rights, by whose decisions all Council of Europe members have agreed to be bound. With the Commissioner for Human Rights, a post instituted in 1999, the Council of Europe has a further important instrument for reviewing the human rights situation in Europe.
Like the Council of Europe, the OSCE is also engaged in the process of building a democratic Europe committed to the rule of law and the protection of human rights.
Back in 1999 the German Government had successfully proposed the drawing up of an EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Through the inclusion of a reference to it in the Treaty of Lisbon, the Charter achieved the status of law when the Treaty itself entered into force.
Fundamental rights – a foundation for Europe
Human Rights in the United Nations

Together with its EU partners, the German Government works hard in the United Nations to protect and further develop human rights standards. To this end it cooperates closely and regularly with UN institutions, in particular the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva.
Key UN fora here are the regular meetings of the new Human Rights Council (HRC, successor to the Commission on Human Rights) in Geneva and the meetings of the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly every autumn in New York. Both fora are concerned with the human rights situation around the world and the development of additional legal instruments and programmes designed to promote human rights. They discuss and adopt resolutions on human rights issues, which notably civil society actors can find very helpful for their work on the ground.
The Federal Republic of Germany served on the former Commission on Human Rights without interruption from 1979 until its demise. In 2006 Germany was elected to the new Human Rights Council with the highest number of votes within the western group (which comprises 47 countries). The HRC has a wide-ranging mandate to deal with human rights issues. Since 1 January 2013 Germany is once again a member of the HRC and will stand for a further term in 2016‑2017.
Germany's international human rights obligations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
© picture-alliance/dpa
Germany is a party to all major UN human rights conventions and their supplementary protocols. Most recently it signed the supplementary protocol to the Convention against Torture as well as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It is currently preparing the ratification of the supplementary protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which provides for the introduction of a communications procedure.
These human rights conventions and their related protocols create legal obligations that are directly binding on all parties. Countries that have signed up to them are required to submit to independent committees of experts so‑called country reports detailing how they have implemented the conventions in question.
After examining these reports, the committees then publish their findings. This reporting process serves to identify deficits in a given country and indicate what concrete measures could improve human rights protection there.
The Common Core Document is the primary document the committees rely on here, which in Germany is compiled under the direction of the Federal Ministry of Justice. It contains data on the country and its population, history, form of government and state structures and, most importantly, information on the general legal framework for the protection of human rights as well as a wealth of statistical data, thus making comparisons with other countries possible.
Common Core Document of the Federal Republic of Germany
Dialogue with civil society
Keen public interest in protecting and advancing human rights is something that Germany believes is very important for the success of our efforts in this area. We therefore actively seek dialogue with groups and individuals working on human rights issues. This kind of civil society dialogue complements the dialogues we have at intergovernmental level. The work being done in this area by the NGOs represented in the Human Rights Forum as well as by our political parties, foundations and churches both requires and reinforces the German Government's engagement with human rights issues.
The Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Aid at the Federal Foreign Office sees dialogue with civil society as part of his job. Through his work he helps raise public awareness of the German Government's human rights agenda.
A German‑language collection of important UN and European human rights documents and declarations, as well as further documents on regional protection of human rights, can be obtained for a fee from the Federal Agency for Civil Education at external link, opens in new windowwww.bpb.de.

Courses: Particle&Nuclear Phys & People (PHYSB13400D)
Spring 2012
Class Number: 1986
In this half-semester course we discuss the four fundamental interactions in nature and put them in a historical perspective. These are gravity, electricity & magnetism, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear or radioactivity. This course concentrates on the nuclear interactions. The distance scales we deal with are so small that they are not of our realm. We investigate radiocarbon dating, smoke detectors, radon in the home, how the sun shines, nuclear fission (current power plants), nuclear fusion (future power plants?), positron emission tomography (PET) in medicine, and other phenomenon. Lecture three hours, discussion session one hour, laboratory two hours. This course does not satisfy the Quantitative Skills requirement. Also see PHYS 164 which is PHYS 134 without the laboratory.

The Department of Public Safety is located in Walker Hall, first floor, north end. The department operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is a combination department comprised of both sworn police officers and non-sworn security officers and dispatchers. The Millikin University Police Department was established by the Board of Trustees in May 2013 in accordance with the Illinois Private College Campus Police Act (110 ILCS/1020). As outlined by that act1, Millikin University Police Officers have full peace officer authority and arrest powers, including the ability to enforce city ordinances, county ordinances, traffic laws (on public ways contiguous to university property), and state statutes.
A dispatcher is always in the dispatch center and can be reached by calling 217-464-8888 (8888 campus phone), or through one of the "blue light" phones located about campus. The dispatch center is also the after-hours switchboard for the University. The dispatcher monitors a variety of campus alarm systems, the access control system, and local/national media for weather and crisis information.
The Public Safety Department is responsible for a wide variety of functions on campus, including both foot and motorized patrols, access control, crisis response, parking enforcement, risk management, and various life safety checks. During patrols, both Police and Security Officers are establishing a presence to deter criminal activity, conducting life safety checks, and proactively engaging our community members. Public Safety staff members attend regular training on procedures, investigations, report writing, crisis management, first aid and CPR/AED.
A Message From The DirectorRisk Threat Assessment ProgramOur Mission statementKeep Safe on Campus (Jeanne Clery Act)

HAZARD — Spring is on its way, the season of growing and new life, and volunteers with Pathfinders have found a new way to help the community better itself while also showing off their green thumbs.
Jenny Williams, chair of the board of directors for Pathfinders of Perry County, said she, Karyn Knecht, and Allison Cooper, both Vistas working with Pathfinders and the Kentucky Mountain Health Alliance respectively, have come together in just the last few months to start a gardening initiative in Perry County.
"We all were really interested in food issues and in gardening and in access to healthy food and all of those things," Williams said. "I kept saying I wish we could figure out a way to do it, and Ally said well let's just do it. And I thought, you know, she's right, we don't need to write a bunch of grants. We've kind of got the ability to do this on a really small scale, so let's do it on a small scale."
Fueled by donations from local businesses and community members, Williams, Knecht, and Cooper began working with what they had, starting the initiative last month after a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day walk in town. Volunteers stopped by STAR Land in Hazard to help fill flower boxes with seeds that were later placed at the Perry County Public Library as a teaching garden. The initiative plans to also have gardening plots next to the Peace Garden in Hazard, one of which will be managed by volunteers from the homeless shelter, and has been trying to keep plans small until more help and funding could be found.
"We have nothing, we have zero budget for this at all," Williams said. "We're just kind of by hook or by crook finding [funds]. Karyn and Ally have looked at a few grants and written a few small ones, but we basically can do what we have to do with nothing."
The initiative has received even more help in just the last few weeks from Grow Appalachia through the Lotts Creek Community School, which will be partnering to assist with the gardens. Grow Appalachia is an initiative that was begun in Berea in 2009 aiming to decrease the impact of food insecurity in Appalachia.
"It's like a regional program that's meant to kind of boost the local food system," Knecht explained. "Basically, what they're doing is, they primarily go out to local families who want to start home gardens to feed themselves and kind of like provide them with some materials and also a lot of education."
Knecht said the those who are working with Grow Appalachia in Lotts Creek have offered their services to help till any land they plan to garden in, as well as provide seeds if needed.
"They're not providing everything we need though. The main thing we need is volunteers," she said.
The trio plans to attend community gatherings to get the word out about their initiative, Knecht said, and have already reached out to some community members.
"We just had this really great meeting at 'Hot Topic, Cold Dish' over at First Presbyterian where we were just kind of like talking to them about the program that we're trying to start," Knecht said. "A lot of them there were master gardeners … so they were like giving us all this advice. So, we know that there are people in the community who want to help we just have to get the word out."
Cooper explained that the group hopes to be able to expand the initiative even more in the future to include plots for the county's correctional facility, something that has been done in the past.
"When they had it going, and this was two or three years ago, they had two acres they were planting and they got to eat all the food that they grew," Knecht said.
"The jailers are all ready for it, they have all the security and stuff. We just have to find the land for it," Cooper added. "I just think it would be good for them, and good for the system."

The Irishman failed to lure the Republic of Ireland international to Glasgow in January but is refusing to rule out another bid this summer.
Hoops top-scorer Gary Hooper, who has 26 goals this season, is a target for English clubs and Lennon believes 29-year-old Doyle could be the ideal replacement should he move south.
"I'm a big admirer of Kevin obviously, I tried to take him in January," said Lennon.
"I think he's a quality player. He is the all-round type of centre-forward I really like.
"I can't talk about another club's player as I don't want to disrespect Wolves, but we wanted him."
And asked if he would make a second signing move, Lennon replied: "I'd think about it."
Meanwhile, Lennon also confirmed striker Anthony Stokes will be staying at Parkhead, adding: "Anthony is a very important player for us."

CRESTVIEW — Continuing the legacy of influential black Americans like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington Carver and Harriet Tubman requires involvement from younger generations, speakers at Carver-Hill Memorial and Historical Society's Black History Month celebration said Friday.
The Rev. Edward J. Parker, pastor of First Church of God in Christ, called King a "visionary" whom God moved "to stand for something and stand for a people."
"That meant something," he said, adding that he hopes younger generations can appreciate the slain civil rights leader's sacrifice.
Community involvement
Reaching younger residents is crucial to ensure that they reach their full potential, Parker said, adding the community should take active roles in all children's lives.
"It's something we have to do," he said. "Back when we were growing up, everybody raised us."
Parker said he recalled neighbors and churchgoers reporting misbehavior to parents. He added that he believes similar measures could help ensure Crestview's children have bright futures.
"I am concerned about the welfare of our community," Parker said. "We have to do something to curb the violence, right here in our city of Crestview. We have to encourage our young people to pull their pants up — nobody wants to hire anybody who can't pull their pants up.
"Sometimes, I think we forget that God has brought us this far," he said. "Young people take it for granted and they don't know what others took whippings and beatings for."
Inspiring children
Crestview resident Shamira Hayes, 29, said she believes young people should recognize Black History Month's importance and Carver-Hill School's significance.
"My goal is trying to get more people, as far as a younger generation, involved with this," the society member said. "There are a lot of older people that (oversee) this society, and the thing is you want to keep the history of Carver-Hill going."
She hopes to pass the legacy to her 4-year-old daughter, Alise.
"If you get them involved at this age or younger, they are going to remember and pass this along to their children," Hayes said.

First Look: Cocktails at Tradition in San Francisco
Ian Scalzo and his partners at Tradition (the same folks behind Bourbon and Branch and Rickhouse in San Francisco) have been busy. They opened Local Edition just a few months back, and now have followed up with a spot that's essentially eight bars in one. "It started as a 'drinking through the ages idea,'" said Scalzo, "but we really wanted to focus on different types of bars, and how each has their own style." More

Santa's just putting his hat on and button up his jolly red coat when an exasperated elf runs up to him: "Santa! We've got a problem! There have been so many good children this year we can't put all the presents into your sleigh!"
The problem is that Santa's sleigh has a weight limit, and can only carry 2 tonnes of present. Each present has a different weight, and each present has a different star value too: a star for each good deed of the toy's recipient. Santa obviously wants to reward as many good deeds as possible, maximising the total star value of the presents in the sleigh. But he can't exceed the maximal weight or those presents are going nowhere! So which should he put in his sleigh?
The elves start out trying all different combinations of presents to find the best one. This would have been fine if there only were a few items, but they quickly realise it is totally impractical when you have millions of presents to deal with. If they carry on this way Christmas Eve will have long passed and no presents at all will be delivered!
Such a brute force solution is unacceptable, and not only to the elves and Santa. Mathematicians would also find this an unacceptable approach, and ask whether there is an algorithm – a recipe for finding a solution – which works for any number of items, and so that the time it takes to complete the algorithm grows with the number of items in a reasonable, non-explosive fashion.
Mathematicians have a clear definition of "reasonable and non- explosive" in this context: the time it takes to complete the algorithm should grow with the number N of items no faster than the polynomial N to the power of K, for some integer K, grows with N. That's still pretty rapid growth, especially if K is large, but at least it's not exponential.
So does such a polynomial time algorithm exist for our problem? The answer is that nobody knows - not yet - though most mathematicians believe that there isn't. In fact, if you can prove or disprove that a polynomial time algorithm exists you will have answered the question behind door #22 too, as they both can be turned into NP complete problems.
Optimisation problems such as this one, which is known as the knapsack problem, crop up in real life all the time. Thankfully Santa is well read in mathematical literature and knows an algorithm they can use that won't take too long and, while it not give the very best combination of starred pressies, it will get sufficiently close.
So rest assured, if you've been really, really good, your present is probably now packed on the sleigh, ready for the Santa's big delivery run. Merry Christmas!You can find out more about NP complete problems on Plus.

When Kepler was decorating his Christmas tree you can be sure his Christmas baubles weren't boring and round. Oh no, we're sure they would have been beautiful and elliptical!
Ah, the humble ellipse. It might look just like a squashed circle but it is so much more! One of the conic sections discovered by the ancient Greeks, it generalises the circle using eccentricity, a measure of how squashed it is. A circle is an ellipse with eccentricity zero, a very squashed nearly flat ellipse will have eccentricity close to one. An ellipse has two foci (points that lie within the ellipse), with the handy property that the sum of the distances from each focus to a point on the ellipse is equal to the ellipse's width. But not just a pretty shape, it turned out to be Kepler's answer to life, the universe and everything - he discovered that the heavenly bodies didn't move in circles, as had been thought for hundreds of years, but instead had elliptical orbits around the sun. Kepler tried to convince himself of the perfection of this design of the heavens by describing the interaction of nature with the heavens introducing a distortion to pull the motion from a perfect circle into an ellipse.

It's that time of the year again when Santa needs to think about how to deliver all those presents to the people on Earth. Unfortunately his reindeers are a bit weak this year, having suffered some severe bouts of flu, and he knows he can't ask them to travel more than a million kilometres in total. Is there a route around the Earth that visits all those cities, towns and villages he needs to visit, but is less than a million kilometres long?
A bit tired this year.
That, it turns out, is a very tricky question. One way of answering it would be to try out all different routes and work out their lengths. But since there are 7 billion people on Earth and he needs to visit every single dwelling that's totally unfeasible. It would take him until long after the Universe has ended to try all possible routes. Is there a clever algorithm Santa could use instead?
Obviously, the time it will take any algorithm to answer the question will depend on the number of places that need visiting — the more places, the longer it takes. So the question is whether there's an algorithm for which the time taken grows in a manageable, non-explosive way as the number of places grows — it's what complexity theorists call a polynomial time algorithm. If Santa were to ask such a complexity theorist he would find out that the class of all problems that can be solved in polynomial time has a name: it's called P.
Now Santa doesn't know if his problem of finding a route belongs to the class P. What's pretty obvious, though, is that if someone gave him a potential solution — a route they claim visits every place but is less than a million kilometres long — it would be easy to check whether that's true: he'd simply have to add up all the individual distances between places. A computer could do that quite easily. This means that Santa's problem belongs to a class of problems called NP. It consists of those problems for which potential answers can be checked in polynomial time, even though we might not know how to solve them from scratch in polynomial time.
But now suppose that Santa has a brainwave. Sitting down with a computer he constructs a polynomial time algorithm that finds the kind of route he is after. He would then have shown that his problem is not only a member of the NP class, but also of the P class. Amazingly, it would also hand Santa a polynomial time algorithm for all other problems in the NP class — because it turns out that his problem is a version of the famous travelling salesman problem, and that all the other problems in the NP class can be reduced to it. What is more, his algorithm would win Santa $1 million: the question of whether the P class and the NP class of problems are equal is considered one of the hardest in mathematics, which is why the Clay Mathematics Institute as offered $1 million to anyone who solves it.
Unfortunately Santa doesn't have the time to do any of this, and he's not a computer expert anyway. So he just takes an educated guess at what route to take and gets going, hoping for the best. It's a shame really because if he'd been able to show that P=NP he would have held the key to many of the world's secret communications, including everyone's bank details that are sent encrypted over the internet. This is because NP problems are used as the key for such encryptions, with the secrecy relying on the fact that the problems are very hard to crack.

Raging rivers and thundering waves are exciting and frightening and for mathematicians they are a massive problem. Suppose you've got a turbulent mountain stream — if you're a mathematician, you'll want to know if you can describe the flow of the water using a mathematical equation. Given a point in space (that is somewhere in the stream) and a point in time (say 5 minutes from now), you would like to know the velocity and maybe also the pressure of the water at that point in time and space.
Image: misty.
Scientists believe that turbulence is described to a reasonable level of accuracy by a very famous set of equations, known as the Navier-Stokes equations. These are partial differential equations which relate changes in velocity, changes in pressure and the viscosity of the liquid. To find the velocity and pressure of your liquid, you have to solve them.
But that's no easy feat. Exact solutions to the equations — solutions that can be written down as mathematical formulae — exist only for simplified problems that are of little or no physical interest. For most practical purposes, approximate solutions are found through computer simulations — essentially through educated guess-work — that require immense computing power.
Plus there is an additional problem that makes numerical difficulties pale into insignificance: no one knows if exact mathematical solutions even exist in all cases. And if they do exist, we still don't know if they involve oddities, such as discontinuities or infinities, that don't square with our intuition of how a liquid should behave.
It's these difficulties that have turned the understanding of the Navier-Stokes equations into one of the seven Millennium Problems posed by the Clay Mathematics Institute. Whoever proves or disproves the existence of finite and smooth solutions is set to earn a million dollars.
All this might seem strange, even scary, given that the equations are used all over the place, all the time — meteorology and aircraft design are just two examples. The fact is that, in the cases we can compute, approximate solutions do seem to give an accurate description of the motion of fluids. What we don't know is what, if anything, the model given by the Navier-Stokes equations tells us about the exact nature of fluid flow.

The central idea of applied statistics is that you can say something about a whole population by looking at a smaller sample. Without this idea there wouldn't be opinion polls, the social sciences would be stuffed, and there would be no way of testing new medical drugs, or the safety of bridges, etc, etc. It's the central limit theorem that is to a large extent responsible for the fact that we can do all these things and get a grip on the uncertainties involved.
Suppose that you want to know the average weight of the population in the UK. You go out and measure the weight of, say, 100 people whom you've randomly chosen and work out the average for this group — call this the sample average. Now the sample average is supposed to give you a good idea of the nation's average. But what if you happened to pick only fat people for your sample, or only very skinny ones?
To get an idea of how representative your average is likely to be, you need to know something about how the average weight of 100-people-samples varies over the population: if you took lots and lots of samples of size 100 and worked out the average weight for each, then how variable would this set of numbers be? And what would its average (the average of averages) be compared to the true average weight in the population?
For example, suppose you know that if you took lots and lots of 100- people-samples and wrote down the average weight of each sample, you'd get all values from 10kg to 300kg in equal proportion. Then this would tell you that your method of estimating the overall average by taking one sample of a 100 people isn't a very good one, because there's too much variability — you're just as likely to get any of the possible values, and you don't know which one is closest to the true average weight in the population.
Four versions of the normal distribution with different means and variances.
So how can we say anything about the distribution of 100-people-averages — called the sampling distribution — when we don't know anything about the distribution of weight across the population? This is where the central limit theorem comes in: it says that for a big enough sample (usually sampling 30 people is good enough) your sampling distribution is approximated by a normal distribution — this is the distribution with the famous bell shape.
The mean of this normal distribution (the average of averages corresponding to the tip of the bell) is the same as the mean in the population (the average weight of the population). The variance of this normal distribution, that is how much it varies about the mean (indicated by the width of the bell), depends on the sample size: the larger the sample, the smaller the variance. There's an equation which gives the exact relationship.
So if your sample size is big enough (100 would certainly do since it's bigger than 30), then the relatively small variance of the normal sampling distribution means that the average weight you observe is close to the mean of that normal distribution (since the bell is quite narrow). And since the mean of that normal distribution is equal to the true average weight across the population, your observed average is a good approximation of the true average.
You can make all this precise, for example you can say exactly how confident you are that the true average is within a certain distance of your sample average, and you can also use the result to calculate how large a sample you need to get an estimate of a given accuracy. It's the central limit theorem that lends precision to the art of statistical inference, and it's also behind the fact that the normal distribution is so ubiquitous.
The central limit theorem is actually a bit more general than we've let on here. See here for a precise statement.

The dramatic curved surfaces of some of the iconic buildings created in the last decade, such as 30 St Mary's Axe (AKA the Gherkin) in London, are only logistically and economically possible thanks to mathematics. Curved panels of glass or other material are expensive to manufacture and to fit. Surprisingly, the curved surface of the Gherkin has been created almost entirely out of flat panels of glass — the only curved piece is the cap on the very top of the building. And simple geometry is all that is required to understand how.
A geodesic sphere.
One way of approximating a curved surface using flat panels is using the concept of geodesic domes and surfaces. A geodesic is just a line between two points that follows the shortest possible distance — on the Earth the geodesic lines are great circles, such as the lines of longitude or the routes aircraft use for long distances. A geodesic dome is created from a lattice of geodesics that intersect to cover the curved surface with triangles. The mathematician Buckminster Fuller perfected the mathematical ideas behind geodesic domes and hoped that their properties — greater strength and space for minimum weight — might be the future of housing.
To try to build a sphere out of flat panels, such as a geodesic sphere, you first need to imagine an icosahedron (a polyhedron made up of 20 faces that are equilateral triangles) sitting just inside your sphere, so that the points of the icosahedron just touch the sphere's surface. An icosahedron, with its relatively large flat sides, isn't going to fool anyone into thinking it's curved. You need to use smaller flat panels and a lot more of them.
Divide each edge of the icosahedron in half, and join the points, dividing each of the icosahedron's faces into four smaller triangles. Projecting the vertices of these triangles onto the sphere (pushing them out a little til they two just touch the sphere's surface) now gives you a polyhedron with 80 triangular faces (which are no longer equilateral triangles) that gives a much more convincing approximation of the curved surface of the sphere. You can carry on in this way, dividing the edges in half and creating more triangular faces, until the surface made up of flat triangles is as close to a curved surface as you would like.

text: N.W.A is one of the most important groups in hip-hop history. Their aggressive, boundary smashing, don't-give-a-fuck perspective was made clear by their name, which stands for Niggaz Wit Attitude. Their most famous single was "Fuck The Police," a minimalist classic that described the frustration and anger young black men felt toward the LAPD, years before the Rodney King riots broke out. Some call them the Beatles of hip-hop because of their massive influence, sonic power and their place as a launching pad for several critical solo careers. Dr. Dre, the greatest producer in hip-hop history, created the G-Funk sound he would become known for while he was in N.W.A. The G-Funk sound, built on P-Funk samples, synthesizer-heavy, cinematic and ominous themes would shape a generation of hip-hop. Ice Cube, who would become one of the most important MCs in hip-hop history was also in the group as was Eazy-E, an unforgettable figure. The group also included MC Ren, a formidable MC and DJ Yella, an important producer. N.W.A is the prime influence for the sound, ideology, vibe and look of gangsta rap and the L.A. hip-hop sound. They attracted nationwide attention for their albums Straight Outta Compton and Niggaz4Life. Indeed, the FBI sent the group a warning letter that is on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

Belton (October 8, 2012) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team held its ground in both major national polls this week as the Cru remained #2 in the nation in both the American Football Coaches Association's Top 25 and the D3football.com Top 25. The #2 ranking matches the highest national ranking in the 15-year history of UMHB football and marks the fourth straight week for the Cru to be in that position in both polls.
The Cru grabbed one first place vote and 1,008 total points to hold steady at #2 in this week's AFCA Top 25 Poll. Mount Union is ranked #1 with 41 first place votes and 1,049 total points. UMHB is the only American Southwest Conference program ranked in the top 25 this week, but Louisiana College has the 26th highest point total in this week's ranking. Wesley College is ranked sixth again this week. UMHB beat the Wolverines 32-25 in Dover, Delaware earlier this season.
The Cru also remained second in the country in the D3football.com Top 25 Poll. UMHB took two first place votes and 598 total points in that ranking. Mount Union took the other 23 first place votes and 623 total points to claim the #1 spot. Wesley College is ranked also sixth by D3football.com, Louisiana College is ranked 21st nationally in that poll.
"It was good to get a win Saturday, but I'm not really happy with the way our reserves played in the fourth quarter," Cru head coach Pete Fredenburg said. "We need some of those guys to step up because we will need them to reach our goals this season. Some of those guys are really going to have to improve and it needs to start happening soon."
UMHB is 5-0 overall on the season and 2-0 in ASC play after beating Texas Lutheran University University 49-31 last Saturday in Belton. The Cru will now travel to Pineville, Louisiana to take on Louisiana College in a crucial ASC showdown this Saturday. That game will kick off at 11:00 AM. The Wildcats are 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the ASC on the year.

Liar. You've only been an iMore member for 22 hours.
Hopefully it will be a Verizon compatible iPhone :-) Either way it will get put to use. I'm not being ungrateful, just excited and wondering what versions (geebees, LTE iPad or not, color, etc) I won. My kids are excited too.
Oh, about that community-decided local volunteering, what's it going to be?
Congrats everyone!

text: As a global leader in casual footwear, Crocs, Inc. looks out not only for the comfort of our fans, but also for the health and wellbeing of communities in need. Giving back is a strong part of Crocs' culture, and the Crocs Cares program provides a platform for Crocs employees to support organizations that benefit local and global communities alike. Since 2007, more than 2.5 million pairs of shoes were distributed to those in need in impoverished areas, as well as those affected by natural disasters in more than 40 countries. Most recently, we donated more than 80,000 pairs of shoes to one of Haiti's largest medical providers, an organization dedicated to providing healthcare following the country's devastating earthquake. Because of the lack of footwear worldwide, non-profit donation partners such as UNICEF, Brothers Brother Foundation, and Feed The Children, to name a few, have teamed up with Crocs Cares to reduce the rate of skin infections, parasites, and cuts acquired through the lack of foot protection. With these partner organizations, we seek to provide families and children with information and education on the importance of proper footwear.

- Potential Heroku/PG/hstore bug in 9.1.3
One of our tables was using an hstore to collect data (a really big json object). We discovered that the primary database on staging was using PG 9.1.3 while our acceptance & production apps were using 9.1.4. Pushing this very large (58K) object into the hstore caused a Postgres failure:
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PGError: ERROR: cannot execute INSERT in a read-only transaction : INSERT INTO "xxxx" ("created_at", "data", "updated_at", "user_id") VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4) RETURNING "id"
while saving the same data into our acceptance app did not cause the error.
We suspect that there is a bug in PG 9.1.3 when inserting "big" strings into an hstore that is fixed in 9.1.4.
We promoted a new 9.1.4 db on our staging app. This cleared our problem.

Type: Defect
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Completed
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: Release 1.6
Component/s: None
Patch:Code and Test
Long story short (ha!), there are several related issues where overflow checking doesn't work correctly with Long/MIN_VALUE. The cause of this missed check is that in Java, these both pass:
assertTrue(Long.MIN_VALUE * -1 == Long.MIN_VALUE); assertTrue(Long.MIN_VALUE / -1 == Long.MIN_VALUE);
This causes the following results in Clojure that do not match their siblings where the order of operands is switched:
user=> (* Long/MIN_VALUE -1) -922337203685477580 ;; should throw user=> (*' Long/MIN_VALUE -1) -9223372036854775808 ;; should be positive user=> (* Long/MIN_VALUE -1N) -9223372036854775808N ;; should be positive user=> (* (bigint Long/MIN_VALUE) -1N) -9223372036854775808N ;; should be positive
Mailing list discussion here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure-dev/o1QGR1QK70M/A1KykR9OQqwJ
Patch: min_value_multiplication.diff
Approach: Modifies BigInt.multiply() and multiply/multiplyP in Numbers to take into account Long.MIN_VALUE.
user=> (* Long/MIN_VALUE -1) ArithmeticException integer overflow clojure.lang.Numbers.throwIntOverflow (Numbers.java:1390) user=> (*' Long/MIN_VALUE -1) 9223372036854775808N user=> (* Long/MIN_VALUE -1N) 9223372036854775808N user=> (* (bigint Long/MIN_VALUE) -1N) 9223372036854775808N
Screened by: Alex Miller (should also include CLJ-1225, CLJ-1253, CLJ-1254)
Is there some proof that Long/MIN_VALUE and -1 is the only pair of values that causes a problem with the way overflow-checking is currently done? It might be, but it would be nice to be sure if a proposed patch relies on that.
I don't have a proof, just a half-hour or so of digging for an alternate case (found none), plus taking a look at what Guava does in checkedMultiply: https://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/source/browse/guava/src/com/google/common/math/LongMath.java#522
I didn't do the leading zeros optimization they're doing to avoid even the division in the overflow check we already have; that felt like a bigger change, and not one that impacts correctness.
I have created CLJ-1225 for the corresponding issues with / and quot with these arguments. I think that Long/MIN_VALUE and -1 should be the only arguments that cause problems for multiplication overflow detection, too, since it is based upon division, and I give some reasons in CLJ-1225 why I believe these are the only arguments that give the numerically wrong answer for the Java division operator / on longs.
user=> (*' Long/MIN_VALUE -1)
Is wrong - there should be no coercion, this is an overflowing operation.
Rich, can you clarify? My understanding is that *' is an auto-promoting operation. For instance, in 1.5.1, *' auto-promotes in the positive direction:
user=> (*' Long/MAX_VALUE Long/MAX_VALUE)
and in the negative:
user=> (*' Long/MIN_VALUE -2)
The only outlier is the one addressed in this ticket. Am I missing something? What should the result be here if not the one given by this patch?
missed the ' earlier

Second Half Slump Hurts Hawks at Greensburg
- Release Date:
- January 28, 2012
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
GREENSBURG, PA – The Hilbert College women's basketball team fought to a 32-27 half time deficit only to find themselves surrendering 38 second-half points to Pitt-Greensburg en route to a 70-43 AMCC loss January 28. Freshman Jessica Jamison came off the bench to lead the Hawks with 11 points. Greensburg's Casey Stanton, the league's preseason Player of the Year, put up big numbers (23 points, 11 rebounds) as the Bobcats moved into a tie for fifth place in conference standings.
Greensburg built a 12-point lead after twelve minutes of play (24-12) before Hilbert went on a 13-2 run trimming the score (27-25). Jenah Labuski (8 points) and Jamison (5 points) carried the Hawks' scoring load in that first half run.
Both teams opened the second half trading baskets but by 15:40 Greensburg extended their lead to ten points, and continued to pull away from there. Hilbert's shooting percentage in the first half (45%) carried them for twenty minutes while it hurt the blue and white in the second half (14%).
Contributing on offense with nine points was Jenah Labuski; Julie Bossard shot 2 for 4 from the floor and foul line to finish with six points, two steals and two blocks. Natalie Whitman led the Hawks with seven rebounds.
Besides Stanton, the Bobcats had double figure scoring from Lexi Elliott (17) and Morgan Biddle (13). Greensburg held a 44-34 rebounding advantage and shot 12 for 16 from the charity stripe as they moved to 6-7 AMCC, 8-12 overall.
Hilbert (2-10, 3-16 overall) travels to north Buffalo to face Medaille College February 1 (8pm). The Mavericks (11-2, 15-4) sit in second place heading into the final month of the basketball season.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ArvellaJ This Is My 3rd One... I LOVE this key fob. I purchased one for myself, but my daughter loved it so I gave it to her. The second one I ended up giving to my mom. It is so functional. I keep change, cash and even a small lipgloss inside. I attach it to my handbag, it's so cute. I hope I can finally keep this one for myself because I see they don't stay in stock. Makes a great gift. February 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sabrina This key satchel is just wonderfully made When I received my package the unboxing expreance was the best Beautifully package the satchel was a little bigger in size than I thought it would be witch Was a plus for me. Not too big but just right. I attach all my keys to the ring and was able to then put all My bunch of keys inside the satchel and I was able to zip it close it was supper neat and so Cool I could attach it to the outside of my pocketbook it add so much style and class January 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Niya Too cute! I bought this not knowing exactly how I would use it but knowing that I had to have it. It is bigger than I thought which for me means it's too big to use as a purse charm. However, since it is bigger than I thought it it means that it's actually a functional piece because I can use it to hold change and even bills if I fold them. January 12, 2014
