Many of the parables of Jesus use examples He took from nature to stress the nature and importance of the human heart. It is not merely an organ that wondrously pumps blood through the body, sustaining life. It is also, as Jesus well knew, the living place of God.
Jesus told of the importance of nurturing that presence, of allowing it to grow. And so He used stories of seeds and growth, parched soil and good soil, seeds thrown onto useless and life-threatening environments.
The growth of the heart is not an automatic process. The discovery of God, an awareness of the grace that is the heart, is not a given in life. We must work at it, hope for it, and move along through lives of trial and error, trying to find what we need to be loving, giving, good persons.
Last Sunday's gospel contained the account of the barren fig tree. Jesus uses a parable, in which the gardener is told by the owner of the vineyard to give the tree more time, in the hope that it will bear fruit.
The tree is barren -- it has not matured, its fruit has not been forthcoming. Another year is given it, during which time the soil around its base will be made more nutritious. If that fails, the tree will perish. It will be cut down.
It is a little story, as far as it goes, about the consequences of living in time and failing to make good use of it. And the point would seem to be that with time and nurture and care, the tree will flourish and bear fruit.
The outcome remains hidden. We are left with a plan and a hope.
Lent is a time for all of us to plan, to hope. We do not know the ultimate outcome of our lives. But we have time, that strange thing through which we move and age and wonder.
Time can blend with so many gifts -- gifts that allow the heart to find its way and to trust God. Love, forgiveness, mercy, hope, kindness -- these and more take flesh through the tedium of our days.
God slowly transforms the human heart into His own likeness, and the span of that likeness is eternal. We are gifted with an eternity of days -- but the only way we can engage with God's grace in those days is to take from them the nourishment that they offer.
The truth of the parables lives and moves through our lives. We can only become who we were born to be by taking to heart, quite literally, the truths they offer.

No surprises here
By Liz
from New York, NY
This product is everything it is advertised as. Extremely comfortable and very warm and cozy. The soles of the slippers have heavy duty rubber treads to prevent slipping on hardwood floors. The only "complaint" (for lack of a better word) would be that due to the heavy materials used, they are a bit heavy. Nevertheless, this by no means would prevent me from recommending this product.
I would recomend this

Other Employee Benefits - Cafeteria Plans
A Cafeteria, or Section 125, Plan is a written arrangement that offers employees a choice of cash or taxable benefits from which to choose in lieu of certain qualified benefits excludable by law from wages. These may include medical coverage (within this category, some employers may offer a selection of medical plans or managed care arrangements); death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D); short- and long-term disability insurance; life insurance and dependent care.
Employees select what they want based upon their needs. The employer allocates to each employee a sum of money to purchase the desired benefits. The employee may or may not need to set aside money to purchase various forms of coverage whose cost exceeds the employer's share.
Owing to their breadth and flexibility, such plans can serve as a powerful recruitment tool for employers. Additionally, a Section 125 plan is appropriate with an employee group desirous of various benefits. Finally, these plans can be an effective cost control measure for an employer as each benefit is priced individually, enabling employees to shop for the mix of benefits best suited to them. This has the effect of minimizing the cost of benefits that the employees tend not to need.
Because of their cost and complexity, such arrangements tend to make sense mainly for larger employers. Though beyond the scope of what candidates need to know in preparation for the CFP® examination, the complexity of these plans' tax requirements and design and administration can make them burdensome to an employer.
Tax Implications
Cafeteria plans need to comply with IRS Section 125, lest employees become subject to taxation on the value of any taxable benefits available in the plan, even if the benefits chosen are non-taxable (e.g. medical insurance).
- Specifically, nontaxable benefits available to key employees may not exceed 25% of the total nontaxable benefits that the plan provides for all of its employees.
- The requirements of Section 125 allow for certain qualified benefits to be available in the plan. 401(k) plans are includible as are accident and health benefits; adoption assistance; dependent care assistance; group-term life insurance and health savings accounts (HSAs). Excludible are educational assistance; most qualified retirement benefits and nonqualified deferred compensation; scholarships and fellowships; Archer Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs); athletic facilities; lodging on business premises; meals and employee discounts (no additional cost services, other fringe benefits under Internal Revenue Code Section 132).
- Nondiscrimination requirements:
1. Participation: the plan must be available to employees on a non discriminatory basis
2. Benefits: plan contributions and benefits may not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees.
Key Employees
In 2007, an employee may be deemed key if he or she meets any of the following criteria:
- An officer (in-fact, not merely in-title) whose annual compensation from the employer exceeds $145,000; or
- An employee owning more than five percent (5%) of the business; or
- An employee owing more than one percent (1%) of the business, and whose compensation exceeds $150,000 for the plan year.
An employee may be deemed highly compensated if he or she
- is an officer; or
- a shareholder owning more than 5% of the voting power or value of the employer; or
- any person who, in the preceding year, was an employee who received compensation of at least $90,000; or
- a spouse or dependent of any of the foregoing.

The full statement plus a shot of a birth announcement Tweet that Yandy sent earlier are after the jump.
July 17, 2012
NYC, New York-

and Hustlapreneur, Yandy Smith gave every one a glimpse into her
fabulous celebrity baby shower bash held in Harlem, NY. In case you

Hip-Hop," she is also gearing up for the release of her EGL loungewear
line. Catering to both men and women including maternity and plus size
styles, the EGL loungewear line will launch with fashionable budget
friendly tees competitively priced at $19.50. "I know many reality
stars come out with T-shirt lines to capitalize on their celebrity and
make some quick money," says Yandy. "We are not using any of my catch
phrases you heard me say on the show, instead, we are designing styles
that appeal to the masses even if you are not a Yandy fan. We pay
attention to fit and quality so customers love their purchase and
continue to come back. EGL is trying to give Pink and Juicy some
serious competition."
Yandy is also branching out into the book-publishing realm as she
currently prepares to write a book entitled Hustlapreneur. This book
will be her testimony to her fans on what it takes to be a true success
and the blood, sweat, and tears it took to get her to where she is
today. Hustlapreneur is slated for a January 2012 release.

jewelry line by incorporating fall trend colors and patterns to their
signature styles. Stop by the EGL shop and browse the latest

A wise man has written, "One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say." I couldn't agree more! When we listen, we learn. And when we learn, we discover new ways to serve even more effectively.
Recently Atrium Medical Center Foundation undertook a major listening project: a planning study to assess interest in and perception of the Foundation and its future fundraising projects. Sixty individuals, representing 14 communities in southwest Ohio, graciously participated in 53 interviews with an outside consultant.
I'm happy to report that the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Participants specifically praised Atrium Medical Center's great location, outstanding campus, wonderful facility and caring, dedicated and highly skilled staff. They believe that fundraising is targeting important needs in our communities, and that monies raised are used for their intended purposes. Many were impressed by the Foundation's remarkable growth over its 30 years. Perhaps most encouraging, 30 individuals volunteered to serve the Foundation in some capacity in the future. Of course, suggestions for strengthening the Foundation also were greatly appreciated.
So much enthusiasm for the Foundation's vital work reassures me that our communities really care about ensuring excellent health care for their families, friends and neighbors. It reaffirms my passion to make Atrium Medical Center the destination hospital of choice for our region. That's a tall order, but I firmly believe we can make it happen. Every day, so many astounding things happen here. Yes, we have a beautiful building and high tech equipment. But our people are the heartbeat of this hospital. Our fantastic crew knows how important it is to focus on relationships and go the extra mile for patients, families and each other.
Together, we achieved a lot at Atrium in 2013. Our quality scores were the best ever: 4.8 out of 5 on metrics set by the federal government. Our team did an excellent job hitting aggressive targets to manage the length of patients' hospital stays, part of a push from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to get patients home or to an extended care facility as soon as it's safe. And our satisfaction scores for outpatients exceeded all goals.
We're expanding our cancer services with a new low-dose, low-cost CT scan for smokers to screen for lung cancer, and taking pulmonary rehabilitation services to Otterbein Lebanon. Giving our patients with cancer the best hope for a cure, we enroll more of them in clinical trials than all of the hospitals in Dayton combined. In Atrium's unique partnership with the
Edgewood City Schools, later this year we'll open Atrium Health Center – Trenton to house both the schools' Central Registration Offices and outpatient medical services. In addition, we're bringing more outpatient services to Mason, including a freestanding emergency center, as early as December at the new Atrium Health Center – Mason in front of the Manor House of Mason-Montgomery Road.
I hope you share our excitement for all the ways that Atrium Medical Center and the Foundation are improving our communities. In the spirit of listening, I welcome your comments. You are our partner in caring, and we couldn't be more grateful.
Carol J. Turner, FACHEPresident and CEOAtrium Medical Center

Not content with restricting Internet and cell-phone use, this morning the Mubarak regime attempted to shut down the Al Jazeera Cairo bureau, which has been doing some of the most comprehensive reporting on the Egyptian mass protests:
Outgoing information minister Anas al-Fikki has "ordered the closure of all activities by Al Jazeera in the Arab republic of Egypt and the annulment of its licences," Egypt's official MENA news agency reported.
The press cards of all Al Jazeera staff in Egypt were also being withdrawn, it added.
Egyptian satellite operator Nilesat meanwhile halted its relays of Al Jazeera programming, although the Qatar-based television channel could still be viewed in Cairo via Arabsat.
But silencing dissent isn't as simple as it used to be. Shortly after the shutdown, Al Jazeera began giving viewers instructions on Twitter, explaining how to access its broadcasts online or through other TV frequencies.
"If you've lost @AJArabic signal on NileSat, watch it on Hotbird 12111/V/27500," the news organization Tweeted, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Egyptian government has dealt with these types of mass protests before, but its traditional tactics for clamping down on communication are useless today. At some point soon, probably, totalitarian regimes will figure out how to successfully suppress opposition in the age of social media. But for now, the eyes of the world are still glued to Egypt, and there isn't a thing the government can do to stop it.

Alfresco CMIS
Alfresco CMIS
Book Details
About This Book
- Understand what is unique about Alfresco's CMIS implementation and put your learning into practice
- Talk to content management servers in a standard way with HTTP, XML, JSON, and CMIS
- Understand Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) with CMIS featuring Drupal and Mule ESB
Who This Book Is For
If you are a developer who wants to learn how to build applications that talk to content management servers in a standard way using CMIS, this book is ideal for you. It will be helpful if you have a bit of programming experience, although it is not necessary.
Table of Contents
What You Will Learn
- Add, update, delete, and search for content with increasing efficiency using HTTP and XML/JSON, OpenCMIS , JavaScript, and Groovy
- Feed content directly into a JavaScript widget from a CMIS call JSON response, so you can see how content management servers can be accessed directly via AJAX calls from a web application
- Integrate Drupal with a content management server via CMIS, so Drupal does not have to store documents and images
- Integrate multiple content management systems in a standard way via an enterprise service bus and a CMIS connector
- Handle advanced concepts such as versioning, permissions, and relationships between content items
- Talk to the Alfresco Cloud service via CMIS, so you can make content available outside the company firewall
In Detail
Content Management Servers (CMS) have been around for a very long time, both proprietary and open source ones, but there has not been a standard way of talking to them until recently. The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard provides both an application programming interface and a search language (based on SQL-92). Alfresco CMIS implementation is the basis for many existing CMIS applications, and you can use CMIS too to integrate your application with Alfresco.
Alfresco CMIS is a practical, hands-on guide that provides you with a number of clear step-by-step exercises that will help you take advantage of the real power of CMIS, and give you a good foundation in using it via HTTP/XML, Java, or scripting.It starts off with an introduction to the CMIS standard, in order to update you on the service API, object model, and query language.
The first part of the book explains how to use the service API with HTTP and XML/JSON; this is done in order to show that any library, system, or tool that can make HTTP calls and parse XML or JSON, is able to talk to a content management server that supports CMIS. Next, you learn to demonstrate how a higher abstraction library can be used to talk to a CMIS server in an easy way, hiding some of the complexities of the API using the OpenCMIS Java library. Since most of the applications that are built today are web applications, the book teaches readers how CMIS can be used from JavaScript and Groovy; enterprise application integration, taking Drupal and Mule as references.
Finally, you will learn how to talk to Alfresco Cloud service via CMIS!

Xavier won against Wright State and have three matches remaining in the regular season.
April 3, 2013
FAIRBORN, Ohio - The Xavier men's tennis team is gearing up for the Atlantic 10 Championship and looked sharp in 6-1 road victory over a tough Wright State program on Wednesday afternoon at the WSU Tennis Courts.
It was the second win in as many tries on outdoor courts for the Musketeers (15-4, 6-0 Atlantic 10) who have three matches remaining ahead of the conference tournament. The A-10 Championship begins April 25 at the Linder Family Tennis Center in Mason.
"Today was a competitive match and a 6-1 outcome does not tell the story," head coach Eric Toth said. "Wright State really played us tough in singles and there was a moment where it looked like the momentum was going to swing their way. Our guys really did a good job closing the match out. The conditions were not ideal for both teams and I felt our guys adapted and competed well to get the job done."
Three of the singles matches came down to three-set battles with the Musketeers' Jimmy Roebker, Brandon MacDonald and Patrick Bandy pulling out wins. Xavier also snagged victories from Zach Mueck and Adam Krull after picking up the doubles point.
MacDonald had to rally after dropping his first set and took care of his opponent with two 6-4 set wins. For the season the senior is 14-3 at the No. 4 singles spot for Xavier.
Bandy was also behind after the first set, which went to a tie breaker. The senior rallied however to win the second and third sets to earn his third singles win of the season.
Roebker notched his 13th win at the top position for Xavier after a back-and-forth battle against his opposition. The junior also teamed up with Mesa Mei to capture an 8-2 victory in the No. 1 doubles match up.
Krull won his contest in two sets, including a tight second set decided by a tiebreaker. Mueck cruised to his 14th win at the No. 3 singles spot and helped pick up the Musketeers' other doubles victory came with partner Michael Moe.
Xavier now heads to Bronx, N.Y. to face Marist and conference foe Fordham this weekend. The Musketeers wrap up the season against St. Bonaventure the following weekend.
Xavier 6, Wright State 1
Singles competition 1. Jimmy Roebker (XU) def. Hayden Joblin (WSU) 6-1, 1-6, 6-2 2. Lauri Makikalli (WSU) def. Mesa Mei (XU) 6-4, 6-2 3. Zach Mueck (XU) def. Ricardo Pineda (WSU) 6-1, 6-2 4.

9 Shouts - 6,254 Scrobbles
FREE ALBUMS ON BANDCAMP Black Coffee & Cherry Pie is the brainchild of Albert Murienne. Armed with catchy and sensuous bits, barely-there vocals and backed up by a clean guitar line, ever-so-slightly lo-fi sound, "Black Coffee & Cherry Pie" came from the will to achieve something more personal that could be described as "an experimental spirit into soft-sonic challenging and utterly distinctive music".
More than a synth-instrumental performance, his music is of lost and gained feelings, inspiration and nobility, and of the everlasting human goal of attaining a meaningful existence.

Funding cuts by cash-strapped legislatures have prompted many state universities to raise tuition, but some institutions are trying to buck the trend.
University Center, an extended campus that offers classes from state universities in South Dakota's largest city, is kicking off a four-year pilot program this fall that offers the first 60 hours of degree work at a reduced cost. The cost of basic courses would be $189 per credit hour, instead of the normal state university rate of $289.
The program is among a number of experiments under way across higher education to help students earn degrees without having to go deeply in debt.
Mark Lee, the executive dean of University Center, said the program will offer students at the Sioux Falls campus center a potential savings of up to $6,000 for the first 60 hours of pre-baccalaureate work.

St Austell is a busy town in South Cornwall that has its very own historic harbour at Charlestown where tall ships still grace the waterways. The town has grown out of the now redundant China Clay mining industry which has resulted in the flooded clay pits offering a surreal but beautiful landscape. The Clay Trail runs through the area where you can explore the unusual sights by bike or on foot.
With plenty of shopping, holiday cottages, places to eat and big name attractions such as the Eden Project, St Austell has become a great holiday destination.

With the new iPhone likely to retain the screen size of the current one, Apple Apple finds itself missing out on the fastest growing mobile-device category in the world: The hideously named but increasingly popular market for "phablets." These 5-to-7-inch phone-tablet hybrids nearly outsold tablets and laptops combined in the last quarter and Apple got exactly zero of those sales. Though the company pioneered the touchscreen smartphone 6 years ago with a then massive 3.5-inch display, the iPhone these days looks tiny compared to the competition. And despite Apple's reasonable arguments on the merits of maintaining a small screen for one-handed use, The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is testing prototypes as large as 6 inches, perhaps prepping its own phablet for 2014.
The odd thing about the company's stubbornness on iPhone screen sizes is that it has never expended much effort insisting users should take its products in one size only and accept it. While the iPod was introduced as a single model, over time it spawned many variants from the smaller Shuffle, Nano and Mini to the larger iPod Touch, which ended up becoming the most popular model. You can still buy Apple's music player in multiple form factors, depending on your preferences, rather than being told, "music is only to be enjoyed on a player of this particular size."
In laptops, the company is arguably even more flexible. Not only does it offer three screen sizes — 11, 13 and 15 inches — but it also lets you choose from different models in the largest two of those. You want a 13-inch screen but the svelte Macbook Air? Fine. Need some more power but not a bigger screen? The 13-inch Macbook Pro is available for you. Like the 15-inch Pro model, you can choose whether or not you want the extra resolution of the Retina screen or the lower price of a standard one.
The move to offer a second size of iPhone, though, would most closely mirror the decision to offer the iPad Mini, which comes with a 7.9-inch screen after the late Steve Jobs famously bashed 7-inch tablets. CEO Tim Cook explained that the Mini isn't a 7-incher, which is technically true but also is evidence that Apple can change its mind and explain why it isn't doing that at the same time. The company's reluctance to offer a larger iPhone has centered on two problems, one physical, one technical.
The physical problem is that once you increase the size of the phone from the current iPhone 5, the number of people that can reasonably operate the phone one-handed will shrink a great deal. Already, the decision to increase the screen height last year over the iPhone 4S made it difficult for a lot of people to go from corner to corner with a thumb. Like many iPhone users, I find this capability useful, but only to a point. It's great when you just grab the phone and can do some things one handed. But typing accuracy plummets that way as does general touchscreen usage and it's not clear that the loss of everything else a small screen keeps you from is worth it.
This problem needs a resolution
The technical problem, however, is trickier. Unlike on Android, where there are more than a dozen screen resolutions, Apple has basically two right now with the shorter and taller Retina displays. You either get 960 x 640 in the iPhone 4 and 4S or 1136 x 640 in the iPhone 5. Expect the latter resolution to carry over to both the iPhone 5C and 5S. Once Apple increases the screen size, though, tradeoffs arise. Assuming they stick with the 16:9 ratio common to widescreen TVs and the current iPhone, Apple has a few choices, none of which are great.

- Real-valued feature selection for process approximation and prediction (2009)
- The selection of features for classification, clustering and approximation is an important task in pattern recognition, data mining and soft computing. For real-valued features, this contribution shows how feature selection for a high number of features can be implemented using mutual in-formation. Especially, the common problem for mutual information computation of computing joint probabilities for many dimensions using only a few samples is treated by using the Rènyi mutual information of order two as computational base. For this, the Grassberger-Takens corre-lation integral is used which was developed for estimating probability densities in chaos theory. Additionally, an adaptive procedure for computing the hypercube size is introduced and for real world applications, the treatment of missing values is included. The computation procedure is accelerated by exploiting the ranking of the set of real feature values especially for the example of time series. As example, a small blackbox-glassbox example shows how the relevant features and their time lags are determined in the time series even if the input feature time series determine nonlinearly the output. A more realistic example from chemical industry shows that this enables a better ap-proximation of the input-output mapping than the best neural network approach developed for an international contest. By the computationally efficient implementation, mutual information becomes an attractive tool for feature selection even for a high number of real-valued features.

- The effects of local randomness in the adversarial queueing model (2008)
- We study the effect of randomness in the adversarial queueing model. All proofs of instability for deterministic queueing strategies exploit a finespun strategy of insertions by an adversary. If the local queueing decisions in the network are subject to randomness, it is far from obvious, that an adversary can still trick the network into instability. We show that uniform queueing is unstable even against an oblivious adversary. Consequently, randomizing the queueing decisions made to operate a network is not in itself a suitable fix for poor network performances due to packet pileups.

- Sublinearly space bounded iterative arrays (2007)
- Iterative arrays (IAs) are a, parallel computational model with a sequential processing of the input. They are one-dimensional arrays of interacting identical deterministic finite automata. In this note, realtime-lAs with sublinear space bounds are used to accept formal languages. The existence of a proper hierarchy of space complexity classes between logarithmic anel linear space bounds is proved. Furthermore, an optimal spacc lower bound for non-regular language recognition is shown. Key words: Iterative arrays, cellular automata, space bounded computations, decidability questions, formal languages, theory of computation

- Deciding the FIFO stability of networks in polynomial time (2005)
- FIFO is the most prominent queueing strategy due to its simplicity and the fact that it only works with local information. Its analysis within the adversarial queueing theory however has shown, that there are networks that are not stable under the FIFO protocol, even at arbitrarily low rate. On the other hand there are networks that are universally stable, i.e., they are stable under every greedy protocol at any rate r < 1. The question as to which networks are stable under the FIFO protocol arises naturally. We offer the first polynomial time algorithm for deciding FIFO stability and simple-path FIFO stability of a directed network, answering an open question posed in [1, 4]. It turns out, that there are networks, that are FIFO stable but not universally stable, hence FIFO is not a worst case protocol in this sense. Our characterization of FIFO stability is constructive and disproves an open characterization in [4].

- On non-recursive trade-offs between finite-turn pushdown automata (2004)
- It is shown that between one-turn pushdown automata (1-turn PDAs) and deterministic finite automata (DFAs) there will be savings concerning the size of description not bounded by any recursive function, so-called non-recursive tradeoffs. Considering the number of turns of the stack height as a consumable resource of PDAs, we can show the existence of non-recursive trade-offs between PDAs performing k+ 1 turns and k turns for k >= 1. Furthermore, non-recursive trade-offs are shown between arbitrary PDAs and PDAs which perform only a finite number of turns. Finally, several decidability questions are shown to be undecidable and not semidecidable.
- 03, 1
- On one-way cellular automata with a fixed number of cells (2003)
- We investigate a restricted one-way cellular automaton (OCA) model where the number of cells is bounded by a constant number k, so-called kC-OCAs. In contrast to the general model, the generative capacity of the restricted model is reduced to the set of regular languages. A kC-OCA can be algorithmically converted to a deterministic finite automaton (DFA). The blow-up in the number of states is bounded by a polynomial of degree k. We can exhibit a family of unary languages which shows that this upper bound is tight in order of magnitude. We then study upper and lower bounds for the trade-off when converting DFAs to kC-OCAs. We show that there are regular languages where the use of kC-OCAs cannot reduce the number of states when compared to DFAs. We then investigate trade-offs between kC-OCAs with different numbers of cells and finally treat the problem of minimizing a given kC-OCA.
- 03, 3
- On the descriptional complexity of iterative arrays (2003)
- The descriptional complexity of iterative arrays (lAs) is studied. Iterative arrays are a parallel computational model with a sequential processing of the input. It is shown that lAs when compared to deterministic finite automata or pushdown automata may provide savings in size which are not bounded by any recursive function, so-called non-recursive trade-offs. Additional non-recursive trade-offs are proven to exist between lAs working in linear time and lAs working in real time. Furthermore, the descriptional complexity of lAs is compared with cellular automata (CAs) and non-recursive trade-offs are proven between two restricted classes. Finally, it is shown that many decidability questions for lAs are undecidable and not semidecidable.
- 03, 2
- On two-way communication in cellular automata with a fixed number of cells (2003)
- The effect of adding two-way communication to k cells one-way cellular automata (kC-OCAs) on their size of description is studied. kC-OCAs are a parallel model for the regular languages that consists of an array of k identical deterministic finite automata (DFAs), called cells, operating in parallel. Each cell gets information from its right neighbor only. In this paper, two models with different amounts of two-way communication are investigated. Both models always achieve quadratic savings when compared to DFAs. When compared to a one-way cellular model, the result is that minimum two-way communication can achieve at most quadratic savings whereas maximum two-way communication may provide savings bounded by a polynomial of degree k.
- 02, 6
- Minimizing finite automata is computationally hard (2002)
- It is known that deterministic finite automata (DFAs) can be algorithmically minimized, i.e., a DFA M can be converted to an equivalent DFA M' which has a minimal number of states. The minimization can be done efficiently [6]. On the other hand, it is known that unambiguous finite automata (UFAs) and nondeterministic finite automata (NFAs) can be algorithmically minimized too, but their minimization problems turn out to be NP-complete and PSPACE-complete [8]. In this paper, the time complexity of the minimization problem for two restricted types of finite automata is investigated. These automata are nearly deterministic, since they only allow a small amount of non determinism to be used. On the one hand, NFAs with a fixed finite branching are studied, i.e., the number of nondeterministic moves within every accepting computation is bounded by a fixed finite number. On the other hand, finite automata are investigated which are essentially deterministic except that there is a fixed number of different initial states which can be chosen nondeterministically. The main result is that the minimization problems for these models are computationally hard, namely NP-complete. Hence, even the slightest extension of the deterministic model towards a nondeterministic one, e.g., allowing at most one nondeterministic move in every accepting computation or allowing two initial states instead of one, results in computationally intractable minimization problems.
- 01, 4
- Descriptional complexity of cellular automata and decidability questions (2001)
- We study the descriptional complexity of cellular automata (CA), a parallel model of computation. We show that between one of the simplest cellular models, the realtime-OCA. and "classical" models like deterministic finite automata (DFA) or pushdown automata (PDA), there will be savings concerning the size of description not bounded by any recursive function, a so-called nonrecursive trade-off. Furthermore, nonrecursive trade-offs are shown between some restricted classes of cellular automata. The set of valid computations of a Turing machine can be recognized by a realtime-OCA. This implies that many decidability questions are not even semi decidable for cellular automata. There is no pumping lemma and no minimization algorithm for cellular automata.

Greek affairs office wins grant for anti-hazing efforts
A few years ago, Tim Wilkinson received an email from John Smeaton that contained a reference to an article about anti-hazing efforts at Cornell University.
Smeaton, the vice provost for student affairs, asked Wilkinson, the director of the
office of fraternity and sorority affairs
(OFSA), to consider how Lehigh could become a national leader in hazing prevention.
The university began an intense study of hazing and of the measures for effectively preventing it. The results: the 2014 Zeta Tau Alpha award for Innovation in Campus Hazing Prevention and Education, and a $10,000 grant presented to Lehigh by the national organization
"As a result of Lehigh's commitment and the resources that were dedicated to this effort, we are able to make real progress," said Wilkinson in accepting the award. "We still have work to do. We aren't done by any means, but we're not burying our head in the sand, and we're exciting about continuing our efforts."
In receiving the award, Lehigh joins just four other colleges and universities that have been similarly singled out for anti-hazing efforts: Florida State University, Drexel University, the University of Kentucky and the College of William and Mary.
The competition for this year's honor was steep, said Charles Hall, executive director of the Novak Institute.
"The judges were extremely impressed by what Lehigh put forward," he said. "We consider it a model program because it included stakeholders from across the university, which is a critical success factor for a campus-wide solution. It was also implemented across a diverse organization and included their intention to using the grant money to help develop resources and educate others."
HazingPrevention.org established the Zeta Tau Alpha Award for Innovation in Campus Hazing Prevention and Education with a gift from Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity for Women and Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation Inc. The award seeks to:
• Motivate higher education stakeholders to counter hazing on their campuses
• Recognize and reward the work of campuses that are using prevention practices effectively
• Encourage campuses to initiate comprehensive efforts to combat hazing
• Promote the most effective practices based on the criteria set forth
• Provide campus-based personnel with leverage to create campus buy-in for such efforts
Lehigh staff members have been implementing the hazing prevention model since attending a number of anti-hazing conferences and hosting the 2011 Novak Institute for Hazing Prevention.
As part of its application process, Lehigh outlined strategies and programs the university planned to put in place with the grant funds. These include centralizing online resources for hazing prevention education, ongoing and sustainable trainings for staff and faculty, an expanded resource center for all student organizations, and creation of program materials and webinars in hazing prevention.
"I am proud of the efforts undertaken by Lehigh staff," said Sharon Basso, associate vice provost and dean of students. "The knowledge of the prevention model led to the commissioning of the 2012 Campus Hazing Assessment, which nearly a third of Lehigh students completed. This assessment will help drive our newly founded Campus Hazing Coalition."
Wilkinson also lauded the efforts of Rebecca Davison, assistant director of OFSA. "She does most of the work and gets none of the credit," he said.
HazingPrevention.Org is a national organization that fulfills its mission through education, resources and strong partnerships. Major initiatives include National Hazing Prevention Week, the Novak Institute for Hazing Prevention, and educational webinars that touch the lives of thousands of individuals, organizations, campuses and communities.
Zeta Tau Alpha women's fraternity, founded in 1898 in Virginia, has 163 active collegiate chapters, 242 active alumnae chapter and more than 228,000 members worldwide.

#Michlinks: Los Angeles Times discovers the meaning of the word "pre-gaming"
#Michlinks is The Michigan Daily's citizen journalism tool that compiles reporting about Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. If you find an interesting piece about the city of Ann Arbor, college life or the University, send a tweet with the hashtag #Michlinks for a chance to be published on our website.
Did NO ONE at the LA Times attend college the last 20 years? They are just discovering this: latimes.com/health/booster…
— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) November 9, 2012
BREAKING: The @latimes just discovers "Pre-drinking" or "pre-funking" common among young alcohol users latimes.com/health/booster…
— Paul Blake (@PaulNBlake) November 9, 2012
Twitter, in the form of Andrew Kaczynski and Paul Blake, reacts to the ridiculous notion that the Los Angeles Times just discovered the concept of pre-gaming, which they refer to as "pre-drinking" or "pre-funking."
The story confirms what college students around the country, nay, the globe, already knew.
"While addiction experts estimate that 65% to 75% of college-age youths engage in such boozy behavior, a Swiss study concludes that such 'pre-loaded' evenings are far more likely to end in blackouts, unprotected sex, unplanned drug use or injury," the story reads. "They call it 'pre-drinking,' 'pre-partying' or 'pre-funking,' and it usually involves chugging cheap alcoholic drinks before heading out to a bar, club or sporting event."
One college's racist reaction to Obama's win huff.to/Rm7Yio
— Huffington Post (@HuffingtonPost) November 9, 2012
A number of students at Hampden-Sydney College — an all-male college in Virginia — reacted to President Barack Obama's re-election by yelling racial slurs and throwing bottles and setting off fireworks outside the college's Minority Student Union. In an e-mail to parents on Thursday, Hampden-Sydney president Chris Howard, the school's first African-American president, said he was unhappy with the student's explicit acts of racism. The University of Mississippi, Oxford also experienced acts of racism after Obama's victory in the presidential election on Tuesday.

NORTHBRIDGE, Mass. – On Thanksgiving morning, as many others were preparing turkeys for a slow roast in an oven, Sherry Coger was putting a small turkey into an electric pot in a room at the Uxbridge Inn.
That's where she and her 11-year-old son and 10-year-old grandson have been staying since a fire at their 2683 Providence Road home Nov. 12. Her 18-year-old son has been staying with friends.
"My son said to me, 'I sure will be glad when you start cooking, mom.' I wanted to cry. We take so much for granted,'' Coger said.
Their home, owned by Roger Mathieu, wasn't destroyed in the fire but needs repairs. Many of the Coger's belongings were damaged or destroyed, and they didn't have tenants' insurance.
"When we do move back home, in two or three months from what we are told, it won't be without rental insurance. A hard lesson learned," Coger said.
In the meantime, the family lives in one room at the Uxbridge Inn. She has been looking for temporary housing but without success. The Red Cross suggested she call the Housing Authority. Coger did. "They said they were full and will call if anything comes open,'' she said.
"Catholic Charities said to let them know what our needs are right this minute, but I am not sure how to answer that," she said. Their biggest problem is money and housing.
"We get a paycheck and it goes to feeding us and paying for the motel. We still have bills at the house — oil for heat and lights and cellphones. I am not sure what to do next," she said. "The bills don't stop, they just keep adding up."
The family received help from Northbridge Middle School, where the boys are students.
"The school collected about $160 in gift cards, and many wanted to cook for us. But we don't have anywhere to store food," Coger said. "I do thank them for their kindness."
The losses from the fire are still difficult to face, she said.
"It could have been so such worse, lives could have been lost. But to think it took me 25 years to have anything and it was gone in the blink of an eye is really hard," Coger said.
This year, she said she is not only worried about the kind of Christmas she'll be able to give her boys, but also where they will celebrate the holidays. But Coger still looks at the bright side.
"When they say you should be thankful for the roof over your head, you should be just that,'' she said.
Anyone able to rent an apartment on a short-term basis to Coger may reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Our latest snow event has increased the total snow for the
month to 16.9 inches which places April 2008 as the second snowiest April since
snow records began in 1885. We missed the record set back in 1904 by just a
half inch.
The late season snowfall was
also enough to move this spring season into third place all-time for
snowfall. Since March 1, Fargo Moorhead
has received 28.1 inches of snow. The
spring snowfall record was set in 1997 with 33.6 inches falling.
But there is even more to tell, as our snow
total for the season is now up to 59.8 inches, which now places us very close
to the top ten for snowiest winters. Only
another 2.6 inches of snow is need to tie us for 10th place.
So was it a snowy winter? The answer would have to be no, but was it a
snowy spring? Indeed.

I need a format for my essay topic. My topic is: Discuss how NG illustrates the corruption of the American dream, especially for Leon and Mah.
I am having trouble on how to explain that leon and Mah, are more on chinesse culture than American culture.
1 Answer | Add Yours
It sounds like you know your subject and you're on the right track with a good focal point. Now you just need to spend some time taking notes on Leon and Mah and how they are Chinese and how they are American. Start with the two characters--one at the top of a column. Once you have your two columns set up, write what you know about each character. How is each Chinese? What do they do that identifies them as more Chinese than American? What are their beliefs? Traditions? Habits? How do they dress? What language do they predominantely speak? Think? Dream in?
Once you have made your column notes, go back over them and come up with 3-4 reasons why you believe these two characters to be more Chinese than American in their actions. Don't forget to "prove" your statements with specific quotes and examples from the text.

Ming-chi Kuo of KGI Securities has had a long track record of providing accurate information when it comes to predicting Apple's plans for next-generation products, and as such when he speaks it is worth listening to what he has to say. Today Kuo has spoken to AppleInsider and has suggested that the bulk of Apple's 2013 product pipeline will likely launch later than many people have expected due to complex development challenges for this year's anticipated iPhones and new iPad Mini.
According to Kuo the iPhone 5S is having issues because the fruit company is trying to implement a fingerprint sensor. This makes a lot of sense considering Apple acquired a biometric company by the name of AuthenTec last year. The issue reportedly stems from preventing interference from the black and white coating material under the cover glass.
If the iPhone indeed received a form of biometric security then it would allow users to bypass the password entry and would also allow Apple to integrate e-wallet functionality. Additionally, this would give Apple an edge over its competitors because for other manufactures to copy this functionality it would require radically altering their handsets (as explained in the diagram below).
Yet another holdup on the iPhone 5S and also the entry-level iPhone, that we will get to in a minute, is iOS 7. The iOS 7 firmware is expected to be a radical revision for iOS and as such, as we have heard from previous reports, Apple is having to actually pull out all stops to get it complete in time for the WWDC 2013.
As for the entry-level iPhone specifically, apparently Apple is having issues with the device's casing. As the entry-level iPhone is believed to have a plastic casing that will be slimmer than such casings regularly are, it has been difficult to ramp up production yields.
Finally, the last developmental issue Apple is having with next-generation devices lies with the next-generation iPad Mini. As it is expected the iPad Mini 2 will have a Retina display, it is going to make it more difficult to manufacture and could delay shipments. With all this in mind, this is how Kuo predicts 2013 will play out…
It is a very believable report and probably holds a lot of truth. Apple really needs to step up its game this year with the likes of Samsung quickly catching up in terms of innovation. A fingerprint sensor on the iPhone 5S, an entry-level iPhone and a Retina Display iPad Mini would really do the trick.

"Heart of Now" concerns a young woman with a profound longing for a sense of family. Devastated by her boyfriend's sudden withdrawal from their relationship, Amber's circumstance thrusts her back into the presence of the father-figure that abandoned her and her dying mother nearly a decade ago. Whisked across a contrast of urban, natural and emotional landscapes, Amber confronts the deeper issues at the very heart of her suffering, and finds transcendence in a brief moment at the very heart of now.

Updated: 10/10/2012 11:17 AM KSTP.com By: Scott Theisen
Officials at Shattuck-St. Mary's school released the following statement Tuesday after authorities revealed more alleged incidents of abuse by teachers at the school. The allegations came to light a day after former teacher Lynn Phillip Seibel was charged with 17 sexual misconduct, child pornography charges related to incidents involving students at the school.
Full statement from Shattuck-St. Mary's:
Questions have been raised about the school's handling of the circumstances around the 2008 suicide of one of our faculty members. Here are the facts in that matter:
On the afternoon of December 5, 2008, the school received what it believed to be a credible allegation of misconduct on the part of the faculty member in question. After assessing the allegation, school officials immediately put in place a plan to remove this individual from the school so that an investigation could be conducted and appropriate notifications made. The suicide occurred that evening while that plan was being carried out.
At the scene of the suicide, the allegations in this matter were fully and immediately disclosed to the investigating officers. In addition, within two days of the suicide, the school conducted two town hall meetings – one with parents and one with students – that were webcast to all interested parties in which the allegations were disclosed and discussed openly as violation of trust and contrary to the policies and culture of the school.
At no time did the school do anything other than seek to be open and transparent about these circumstances with its students, families, faculty, staff and law enforcement.
The school has a zero tolerance policy on issues of harassment, discrimination and criminal behavior that applies to faculty, staff and students. Those policies are communicated to students and families through our student handbook and to faculty and staff through our employee handbook. Those policies are reinforced through annual meetings and other communications. Our policies in these areas have evolved steadily over the last two decades to reflect changes in the legal environment, new technologies, societal changes and other factors. We believe strongly that our policies contribute to creating a safe and inclusive environment at our school.
When we become aware of any allegations of possible violations of our policies and standards in these areas, we investigate and – if the allegations are substantiated – take appropriate action. We do so consistent with legal obligations, our responsibilities to our students and their families and our commitment to protecting the rights of our community members.

The last few days on the recruiting trail have been a great success for the Tennessee Vols. Adding two commits Monday, the Vols landed another one in three-star running back Alden Hill on Tuesday.
The Alliance, Ohio native comes in at 6'2" 220-pounds. Hill brings a lot of power combined with his 4.5 40 speed.
Along with Imani Cross, Hill is the second running back to make a public commitment to head coach Derek Dooley and staff. Both are 220-pounds or bigger, meaning the power running game is potentially on its way back to Rocky Top.
Look out for a big week for the Vols as the Elite Camp ends tomorrow. There are currently some big name recruits on campus, including a couple of four-star defensive tackles.

Kingsville task force seizure yields 10,000 AK-47 rounds
KINGSVILLE - The driver of a truck found Thursday with about 10,000 AK-47 assault rifle rounds was released pending federal investigation, officials with Kingsville Specialized Crimes and Narcotics Taskforce said Friday.
The man, who has residences in Houston and Mexico, told authorities he was headed to Mexico, said Asst. Cmdr. Ken Starrs.
He was released after consultation with county, district and U.S. attorneys, Starrs said.
The ammunition was packed inside door panels, a spare tire and found beneath a vinyl bed cover and in a secondary gas tank, Starrs said.
"It's extremely valuable to the cartels in Mexico," he said. "Studies show they're getting them from all over the world. We haven't seen this type of seizure in South Texas in quite some time."
A task force officer stopped the vehicle on State Highway 77 for an obscured license plate. The driver's nervousness prompted the officer to search the vehicle and he was given permission by the driver, Starrs said.
A snakelike camera scope was used to look inside closed areas of the truck and the ammunition was found. It has been confiscated and will be used by federal officials with Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the courts, Starrs said.
"We know with this bust," Starrs said, "we did save some lives."

Middle East
Limestone tripod bowl
From Tell Halaf (ancient Guzana), north-east Syria, 9th-8th century BC
This limestone tripod vessel may have been an incense burner. It was found in a pit, possibly a cremation grave, beneath a statue. It is very similar in shape to basalt examples found at the same site, although much more elaborately decorated. The hunting scene with which it is carved may have some mythological significance, but the precise significance is unknown.
Although the Hittite Empire had disappeared around 1200 BC many of the city-states of Syria retained Hittite traditions, including the style of art and writing. This is why they are sometimes referred to as 'Neo-Hittite'.
