Trinity Valley Community College to Induct Eight into Cardinal Hall of FameSeptember 22, 2009
The Cardinal Hall of Fame induction class of 2009 has no shortage when it comes to impressive credentials. Of the eight former Trinity Valley Community College coaches and players selected, five have experience as professional athletes.
The class, which will become the second to be inducted into the hall of fame on Saturday, Oct. 3, also features the winningest women's basketball coach in the college's history.
"We are very excited about this class of inductees," said TVCC athletic director W.P. "Rip" Drumgoole. "We feel it has a lot of star power and will be of much interest to our fans.
"It's going to be great to have them back on our campus. We look forward to making it a special day for them."
Inductees this year will be:
Gary Ashlock
In 12 seasons as Lady Cardinal coach from 1978-89, Ashlock produced five conference championships and three regional championships, which resulted in the college's first national tournament appearances in 1980,'81 and '82. He remains the college's all-time winningest women's basketball coach with a 281-96 record.
His Lady Cardinal squads won 20 or more games in 10 consecutive seasons, including 34 in 1981-82 and 1988-89. Ashlock had 11 players named All-Americans, including Cardinal Hall of Fame member Portia Hill being named Junior College Player of the Year in 1988.
After leaving TVCC, Ashlock coached six years at Central Florida Community College, where he produced a 168-29 record and led the college to a pair of national runner-up finishes. Ashlock's Central Florida team lost to the Lady Cardinals in the 1997 national title game. He was named Junior College Coach of the Year that season.
Michael Battle
As an electrifying and prolific dunker of the basketball, Battle established himself as a fan favorite in the late 1970s. He wasn't just flash, earning Texas Eastern Conference and Region XIV Tournament Most Valuable Player honors. Battle was also named honorable mention All-American.
Battle continued his playing career at Baylor. After missing most of his first season there due to injuries, he closed his career playing in 26 of 27 games and finished third on the team in scoring.
He scored a season-high 31 points and pulled 12 rebounds against Oklahoma City as a junior and ranked second to All-American Terry Teagle in rebounding with 5.1 boards per game. As a senior, his high-point game was 19 against Houston.
After his two seasons at Baylor, Battle continued his playing career on the Pro International basketball circuit in Merida, Ve nezuela (South America) and Durango, Mexico. Battle lead Durango to the team first championship. In his rookie year in Durango, Battle was named Newcomer of the Year and Most Valuable Player.
William "Bill" Gaines
More than 40 years later, Gaines, who died earlier this decade, is still the most prolific scorer in Cardinal basketball history. Averaging more than 30 points a game, he helped the Cardinals to their first conference championship in 1965 scoring catalyst, the Cardinals captured their first conference championship
He became the conference's all-time leading scorer with a month left in the 1965 season. He scored 1,110 points in his two-year Cardinal career. He rarely scored less than 20 points.
Gaines went on to play at East Texas State University (now Texas A&M-Commerce) and was captain in the 1967-68 season. During that season, he led the conference in scoring and set a school record with a 25.1 scoring average. He was twice named all-conference and was inducted into the college's hall of fame in 2007.
He was a 15th round draft selection in the NBA by the San Diego Rockets. He also played with the Houston Mavericks in the ABA.
Robert Jackson
Described by former Cardinal head football coach Jim Owens as "integrity above reproach" and "an outstanding athlete," Jackson made a name for himself after two stellar seasons as a nose tackle in 1973 and linebacker in 1974 for the Cardinals. Jackson was twice named the Texas Junior College Football Conference's Most Valuable Player. The Cardinals won a conference title his freshman season and were second the next year.
Texas A&M was his next stop, where he helped the Aggies lead the nation in total defense. He was named an All-American for two years and was a finalist for the Lombardi Award. He led the Aggies in tackles as a senior with 143. He is a member of the Texas A&M Hall of Fame.
He was the 17th overall pick in the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns. Knee injuries cut his pro career short after stints with the Browns, Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons.
Betty Lennox
Still active in the WNBA with the Los Angeles Sparks, Lennox continues to add to her legacy.
In 1997, she helped the Lady Cardinals to an NJCAA championship, being named the Most Valuable Player of the national tournament. In the tournament, she shattered a 19-year-old tournament record with 20 free throws in a 78-71 win over Louisburg in the semifinals. In that game, the Lady Cardinals overcame an 18-point deficit in the final 12 minutes. In the national title win over Central Florida, she scored 27 points and grabbed 20 rebounds.
After moving on to Louisiana Tech and turning in two stellar seasons, she was selected as the sixth overall pick in the WNBA draft by the Minnesota Lynx. She was the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2000 and later helped the Seattle Storm to a WNBA championship, being named the Most Valuable Player of the finals.
Tausha Mills
As a sophomore for the Lady Cardinal basketball team, Mills accomplished something no other player had ever done and will likely never do: she was named Junior College Player of the Year despite not having started a single game. An intimidating force inside, she helped the Lady Cardinals to a national championship in 1996 after a runner-up finish the year before.
Mills' success continued after her Lady Cardinal career ended. She went on to play two years at Alabama, where she was an All-SEC performer and Kodak All-American. As a senior, she started every game and averaged 12.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. The Crimson Tide advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament in each of her two seasons. As a senior, Mills was elected a team captain.
She was the second player drafted in the 2008 WNBA draft by the Washington Mystics. She also played for San Antonio and Detroit in the WNBA and for Chicago in the ABL.
John Randle
The Cardinal football program was struggling during Randle's two seasons, but that didn't keep him from earning all-conference honors and helping the defensive unit rank ninth nationally in pass defense.
Randle's career continued to flourish after he left TVCC. He starred two years at Texas A&I in Kingsville and drew the attention of NFL teams. He signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Vikings in 1990 and played there through the 2000 season. He finished his career with the Seattle Seahawks in 2003.
He made his first Pro Bowl in 1993 after recording 11.5 sacks. Randle had double-digit sacks in eight different seasons, including a league-leading 15.5 in 1997. He was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and was named to the NFL's 1990s All-Decade Team, finishing his career with 137.5 sacks.
Randle is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and the Minnesota Vikings' Ring of Honor. He was also a finalist for the NFL Hall of Fame in 2009.
Nick Van Exel
After an outstanding two-year career for the Cardinal basketball team in the late 1980s, Van Exel went on to star at the University of Cincinnati and play professionally for six teams in a 13-year NBA career, including the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers.
While playing for the Cardinals, he was considered one of the top scoring threats in the Texas Eastern Conference and consistently scored more than 20 points in games. His career-high scoring game at the college was 25 points.
In his junior season at Cincinnati, he helped the Bearcats to the Final Four in the NCAA tournament.
He currently ranks sixth all-time in NBA career three-pointers with 1,528. He finished in the top 15 in assists in eight of 13 seasons. Van Exel was an NBA all-star in 1998.

Walk Hard
Editorial Staff • West End • 29 Nov 2005
Kent, famous for his political docu-dramas, is doing something remarkably similar here in creating a multicultural company for a season of plays covering 100 years of Afro-Caribbean experiences. The strengths of such a policy are plain to see in this inaugural production by the pioneering Afro-American writer and director, Abram Hill. Written in 1938 – Kent has claimed it is the first modern black play - it may creak a little but it gets a cracking work-out from a stellar cast including Carmen Munroe, practically the mother of British black acting (and a young actress in the Tricycle's 1985 Raisin in the Sun) and Joseph Marcell, an alumni of the RSC's 1970s companies and now hugely popular (particularly as Geoffrey, the butler in TV sit-com The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) on both sides of the Atlantic.
Both bring weight and humour to a script that if chronicling a now familiar scenario of violence, gangsterism and ultimately a rediscovery of racial pride, carries the sharp-shooting twang of the best 40's movies.
"I wish I'd known you when you was alive", Munroe's feisty grandmother, Becky, quips to her son, Charlie (Marcell) berating him for his negativity. More commendably still, Hill's portrait of discrimination carries a painful, raw immediacy as her grandson, young boxing talent, Andy Whitman (a proud, impatient Kobna Holdbrook-Smith) pays the price for defying attempts to deny him a hotel room.
And there is so much else to savour here: Kent's slick production that moves us from downtown New York to the sweaty ringside; and a terrific supporting cast that includes Rupert Farley's frighteningly convincing gangster chief, Lou, Stephen Beckett's sexist white prize-fighter, Larry Batchello, who befriends Andy, and Flora Montgomery as a gangster's moll suffering at the hands of rampant sexism.
A snappy if sometimes shocking reminder of the way things were, in the best tradition of the boxing movie, Walk Hard - Talk Loud mixes its punches, tickling the ribs then landing a killer punch. Great stuff.

Becoming a dad changes everything – even for a tough guy like Mark Wahlberg. "It's the best," the I Heart Huckabees star says of raising his 1-year-old daughter, Ella Rae, with his girlfriend, model Rhea Durham. The 33-year-old actor – who was the inspiration for and is the executive-producer of the HBO series Entourage, about the fast life of a young Hollywood up-and-comer – now prefers to spend his time golfing and hanging out with family. Wahlberg recently talked about slowing down, playing daddy and contemplating retirement.
You had said you were nervous about becoming a father. Are you just putty in her hands now?
Oh yeah. She knows that I can't say no.
You took a year off to spend time with your family. Were you worried about the competition in Hollywood getting by you?
I've been doing this for too long to care anymore. It's not something that I'm going to do forever. … I have other interests. Golf. My daughter.
Are you talking about retirement?
Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't say that I'm not coming back. If (director) David (O. Russell) wanted me to work I would certainly work with friends and for friends. But yeah, I don't want to do this forever.
How has fatherhood changed you?
It changes everything. It certainly changes the decisions that I make in the future, the kinds of films that I do and the kinds of things that I put out there. I certainly would have a hard time accepting a role like (porn star Dirk Diggler in) Boogie Nights now that I have a daughter. I mean, I'm going to have to explain it anyway, but I was a different person then.
So no more sex and violence?
Yeah, especially if it's just to get paid. If it's real art, then it depends on the project. I mean, I'm really just at a different place.
What about marriage?
Soon, hopefully.

Who or what is the key to understanding the bible?? Jesus says that the bible is about Him. Davis C. Pack of the so-called Restored Church of God and all of the other leaders of the various splinter groups who formerly composed the Worldwide Church of God, say the knowing the Identity of the United States and Britain is the key to understanding the bible. Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. David C. Pack and the others who agree with him are mere men following Herbert W. Armstrong who is another mere men who adopted the false doctrine of British Israelism which says that the United States and Britain are the lost ten tribes of Israel. This doctrine became popular in the mid to late 1800's (before Herbert W. Armstrong started the Worldwide Church of God ! !) and had largely died out by the mid twentieth century. Armstrong adopted this doctrine for the Worldwide Church of God, the church he started, and made it the central teaching upon which other false teachings were based or related to.
Soooo, hmmmm, should we believe Jesus (God in the flesh, the King of Kings, &c . . .), or should we believe Herbert W. Armstrong, David C. Pack, and the other teachers of this false doctrine? It's a no-brainer. We should believe Jesus. Sadly though, many in the various splinter groups of the former Worldwide Church of God still adhere to this false doctrine. Pray for them. It should be noted that the former Worldwide Church of God has denounced this false doctrine along with all of the other false doctrines that they once adhered to.
Stay tuned for more on this subject.

What are you doing on October 17th?
If you're in the Saratoga Springs, NY area, why don't you join me at the local food swap? Organized by Christina Davis and her From Scratch Club, food swaps are a place where all ages of folks bring homemade food & drink products, garden bounty, and "crafty" things like soap and yarn to swap with others. Neat, right? But for me that's not the real appeal of the food swap. No, for me, it's all about the community that happens during the swap. It's nothing short of amazing. Folks who just met start talking about recipes, restaurants, and more. Looking around the room, you can see friendships begining to take root.
Really, you need to come to the swap and see what's it all about!
And if you don't want to "swap"? Come anyway! Folks who are "swap curious" are welcome. (Whether you are swapping or just observing, you do need to get a ticket. It's a free event but a $2.00 donation is suggested.)
If that's not enticing enough...during this swap, children's books will be swapped(!), Saratoga Mama will be there, and I'll be talking about gluten-free baking/cooking! All that for a tiny $2.00 suggested donation! Great, right?
Sign up here! I can't wait to see you at the Swap!
Here are the details:
October 17th, 2012 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm

Welcome to Multi-Disciplinary
Research at the National Science Foundation. On this site you will find
information about the accomplishments of the Knowledge and Distributed
Intelligence (KDI) Initiative at NSF.
Aside from the pursuit of new ideas and tools, NSF has as its mission
the promotion of teaching, training and learning, and the integration
of research and education. KDI was particularly keen to develop more
young researchers working in areas of cross-disciplinary science and
to foster partnerships between research and educational enterprises.
The KDI Initiative sought to provide a forum in which investigators could
explore innovative ideas without being limited by their disciplinary boundaries.
The projects described in this category pushed the frontiers of knowledge and opened up new
fields of research.
Scientists and engineers depend on tools, data archives, and information
infrastructures to conduct their research. Yet the tools currently available can
limit the scope and scale of scientific inquiry. KDI funded the development of
innovative tools, which enabled investigators to explore new areas of research.
The projects discussed in this section developed new tools and infrastructure to support the conduct
of science and engineering research and education, as well as new tools to enhance
the lives of people facing everyday challenges.

An Obama administration official called on state leaders Wednesday to provide "stable and predictable higher-education funding" as one of the ways to ensure all residents earn at least a year of education after high school.
Martha Kanter, undersecretary of the U.S. Department of Education and a key policymaker on higher-education issues in President Obama's administration, spoke during a town hall-style meeting at the University of Washington's Kane Hall to a sympathetic crowd of more than 100 professors, deans, administrators and students.
Obama has called on colleges and universities to slow down the furious pace of tuition increases and has proposed a Race to the Top for college affordability and completion — a way to offer incentives for innovative programs that cut the cost of college and get more students to finish. He has also suggested cutting student financial aid to schools that don't graduate enough students, and whose students are in default on their loans.
Kanter, a former California community-college president who was appointed shortly after Obama took office in 2009, talked about how 13 other nations now have a higher percentage of their populations holding college degrees than in the U.S., and how educational achievement in the U.S. has largely stalled at a time when employers are calling for more sophisticated skills.

"When Did You See Her Last?"
Reviewed for Fourth Grade, 2013
This book is the second in the "All the Wrong Questions" series. The reviews say that reading the first book isn't essential to understanding the second, but they also say that the book is much better enjoyed if you are already familiar with Lemony Snicket. As the narrator, Snicket befriends the reader immediately with his funny asides. Lemony Snicket books have a way of appealing to the child reader without talking down to her. Snicket's style is also great for building vocabulary, with his asides often defining a new word by providing familiar synonyms. The characters are endearing, and the plot is whimsical, fast-paced, and unexpected through and through—a film noir-esque, Sherlock Holmesian detective story in a funhouse mirror. (Hachette $10.01)

"This is a really cute card! I stayed with basic paper - it was fine! Printing was on point. I had a lot of wording to squeeze in. Heard from the reviewer right away - she was very helpful. I would order from these guys again!"
"We used this for a birthday party invite for a baby. Love how it is completely customizable. Very quick review process. Incredibly fast shipping. I have bought multiple items from this site and have always been very impressed."
"This card came out really nice and everyone loved it! it was perfect for our holiday white elephant gift exchange party. The pearl white shimmer paper made this look so nice! I received so many compliments on the cards."
"This is a fantastically beautiful invitation.Love the colors and unique design and to make things even better, it arrived ahead of schedule and under budget! The guest of honor commented that these are her 2 favorite colors."
"We used this card for our rehearsal dinner invitation. The best part was that we could change the word "Salud" to one that worked with our Greek themed party! Everyone who got their invites gushed over them and said they were one of the most fun and unique invites they had recieved, next to our wedding invites also from WPD."

Phoenix Suns
Goran Dragic leads Phoenix Suns to win over Detroit Pistons
Goran Dragic isn't Steve Nash and he never will be, but the Phoenix Suns' new starting point guard is creeping out of the two-time MVP's shadow.
In the Suns' 92-89 win over the Detroit Pistons, Dragic tallied an efficient 15 points on 5-10 shooting with 10 assists and only one turnover.
"I thought [Dragic] was great once again," Suns' head coach Alvin Gentry said. "He created a lot of open looks and we just have to be able to knock down the shots."
Through two games Dragic has averaged 16 points, four rebounds, nine assists and two steals.
The most impressive part when watching Dragic in his first year as a full-time starter is the patience he runs the pick-and-roll with. When the defense collapses on the roll man he doesn't force the ball and hits his secondary options.
"I try to look for Gortat, but the weak side is playing inside the paint," Dragic explained. "The only open pass is at the three-point line or on the weak side. When I have to make that pass I'm going to have to create an open shot for someone else."
Phoenix opened the season going 1-1 on a two-game homestand. Now they head out on the road for this first time this season with a three-game trip starting Sunday in Orlando before heading to Miami to take on the Heat on Monday.

Viera, FL (Sports Network) - Chad Tracy put the Nationals on top in the first with an RBI groundout, but John Buck's home run in the sixth pulled the game even as the Marlins and Nationals played to a 1-1 stalemate in spring training action on Saturday.
Ryan Zimmerman and Mark DeRosa added a hit apiece for the Nationals as hurler Jordan Zimmermann gave up five hits and struck out three in four scoreless innings of work as the starter.
Buck and Donovan Solano both finished 2-for-3 for the Marlins, who saw starter Tom Koehler allow one run on two hits and three walks in 2 2/3 innings.

lol Kim, no, it might take me a hundred times to paint a painting everyone agrees on but in my world I wouldn't have "a" lily painting, I'd have simply painted a beautiful lily a hundred times ;)
Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
Kim I liked 1 ,@2and now 3 Anyway hers mine "leapin lily pads"
Jim C&C welcomed
Jim her face is just beautiful! Your portrait work is so good!
Jim, I really like the transparency of her wings and the colors on the lily pads and the beautiful flower. You made excellent use of the pond lily photo. Very nice painting.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Really nice Jim love the scene and painting, I done this awhile ago playing with color and trying to loosen up in less than an hour using watercolor
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center
Southern Appalachian Artists Guild
Kim third time is a charm.
C and C always welcomed
Nice face Jim. It looks like she is looking over her shoulder thinking Theres that pesky frog again.
Looks like you done this back in the fall. Nice colors. I really like the rose color in th sky.
This is really pretty Fred. I like how you've layered the greens, browns and darker oranges on the right. I also like that hard edge you've left on the tree tops in the back.
Jim, I love your colorful version! As Sam noted, the transparency of wings is super! That frog gets around.
Speaking of color...
Fred, this woke me up! I like the bits of paper showing through and just all the colors you used with loose brush strokes. Nice one.
Kim T (Kim513)
C&C welcome!
Well, Fred, you succeeded in loosening up. As usual, your sky is great. I see beautiful fall leaves. Or is it a fire? Or is it a guy at the backyard grill burning the burgers. Or teens doing wheelies in the sand on the beach? Whatever it is, it's pretty with nice colors.
Jim, "Leaping' Lily Pads" is charming and wonderful. Love that the fairy, lily, and frog are so prominent and the placement of each in your painting, love the sense of movement in the fairy and her expressive face, the frog almost lying in wait (captivated and obsessed), and the colors of the leaves and flower.
Fred, a great use of loose style in a landscape. It has such a dreamy quality and the sky is subtle and lovely, a beautiful variation in depths of colors on my screen.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Jim: I like the fairy in this one. she doesn't look as annoyed with the frog prince as the last one. you can tell she is balancing on the lovely lilly pads. by the way I like when you changed the darker wings to the lighter ones. The lighter wings would help her get away from him quicker. the flowers were lovely.... great texture. I hate mirrors!
Fred: Your leprechauns are looking very festive. Let's hope they stay out of mischief.... I think this is the first time I personally have seen a graphite piece from you. I'm so used to seeing all that color. like the rainbow to follow to the pot of gold....This one is like a dream when you don't see in color you have to fill in the details with your mind... I truly like it. by the way. I don't even have any gouache, I don't know anythng about it except is opaque... I love the transparency of your color paintings, they never look flat. your last colorful piece reminds me of looking at color through ripply glass....
Kim: nice Lilly's or Lotus's, both are extremely similar. although your photo looks more like a lotus. I Iike all of your renditions. I have two ponds in my back yard and hundreds of lilly/lotus pictures if anyone wants them, pinks, reds and cream/yellow. I have so many we have to pull them out so the fish have room to move.... but they are beautiful and you captured a very nice impressionistic version of them. good job.
Sam, my goodness what a cute painterly pic of veggies. I especially like the way they made the brushes. This would be a fun project for someone to paint. hmmmm I bet Alex could turn this into something very special.
Alex: I love the paper and hope to find something very special to put on it. I don't want to practice on it. thanks tons.
It would be nice if we messed up we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over
C & C Always Welcome
Jen C & C's always welcome
Jen, yes the palette arrangement was from the Chelsey Flower Show. Wet Canvas Reference Photos has a whole category devoted to that show. Must be some show.

In ShortEstablished in 1939, this fast-food restaurant still makes its legendary fried chicken with the closely guarded blend of 11 herbs and spices originally created by founder Colonel Sanders. Modern additions to the menu include oven-roasted renditions of its chicken sandwiches, popcorn chicken, potato wedges and wraps. Classic sides include flaky, oversized biscuits, steaming-hot mashed potatoes and gravy, smoky-sweet baked beans and crisp, generously dressed coleslaw. Kids and adults love the "little bucket" parfaits of pudding desserts.
Everytime that I have visited this KFC, something has always been wrong with my order once I get home and check it out! Tonight, I spent over $30 bucks and they forgot my biscuuits. I had to wait over 20 minutes because they were out of original fried chicken (HELLO! IT IS A KFC and they were out of original), and they still managed to mess up my order! Just be sure to have a lot of patience...
Call ahead to place your picnic orders and you'll avoid the inevitable weekend wait time.

Historians of mathematics are always looking for sourcebooks, especially for use in class. Finding translated versions of many classical texts is quite difficult. When they exist, they turn out to have been published twenty years ago in very small print runs and are long out of print. So a book that brings together a selection of historically significant works is very useful. Several such sourcebooks already exist, so Stephen Hawking's God Created the Integers enters into a crowded field. The main question for a reviewer, then, is whether Hawking's collection offers something new.
First of all, there is Hawking's brief introduction and the commentaries on each of the authors included. These strike me as rather perfunctory at the beginning, then better when the material comes closer to modern science. They tend to be mostly biographical. Hawking is not a historian; inevitably, there are annoying mistakes in these introductions. Many of these amount to the repetition of "folklore," but some are more serious.
Then we come to the selections themselves, and things get more idiosyncratic. The book opens with selections from Euclid. They are all from Heath's translation of the Elements, and they include Heath's copious notes (in very very small print). The beginning of book I is included: definitions, postulates, and common notions. Then (without much warning to the reader) we are suddenly at Proposition 47, the Pythagorean theorem. This all fits on three pages. There follow 15 pages of notes by Heath. This is very weird: one could almost fit all of book I in those 15 pages. Wouldn't that serve the reader better?
And so it goes. For Euclid, we then get all of book V (Eudoxus' theory of proportions), all of book VII, and little bits of books IX and X. Next comes Archimedes (in Heath's paraphrased translation), with both parts of "The Sphere and the Cylinder", "Measurement of a Circle", "The Sand Reckoner", and the "Method". To finish off Greek mathematics, we get selections from Heath's book on Diophantus, which of course does not even claim to be a translation.
After this obligatory nod to the ancient Greeks, we take a flying leap to early modern times, and get selections from Descartes, Newton, Laplace, Fourier, Gauss, Cauchy. (No, nothing from Euler!) At this point, we're well into modern mathematics, and the book concludes with selections from Boole, Riemann, Weierstrass, Dedekind, Cantor, Lebesgue, Gödel, and Turing. Most of these (and some of the earlier material too) will be inaccessible to most non-mathematician readers.
As with the previous collection of this type edited by Hawking, On the Shoulders of Giants, one gets the feeling that the selections were determined more by the availability of translations in the public domain than by any other considerations. According to the preface, four of the selections were translated specifically for this volume. (I think they are: a selection from Cauchy's course on differential calculus, two selections from Riemann, a selection from Weierstrass.) Almost all the others are reproductions of material from various Dover publications, even when, as in the case of Newton, parts of Archimedes, and Laplace, there are better translations available.
In the end, I'm not too impressed. A selection of mathematical texts of historical importance (as in "The Mathematical Breakthroughs that Changed History") that excludes all of Arabic mathematics, all of Medieval and Renaissance mathematics, and that doesn't include Stevin, Fermat, the Bernoullis, Euler, Lagrange, Abel, Galois, Hilbert, Poincaré... it all seems weirdly lopsided. There is nothing on statistics, and very little that is recent. In fact, the only texts included here that were published after 1920 are by Gödel, and Turing, as if 20th century mathematics were dominated by logic.
I don't think that the publishers of the other sourcebooks need to worry about the competition from this one.
Fernando Q. Gouvêa is Professor of Mathematics at Colby College and the co-author, with William P. Berlinghoff, of Math through the Ages. He somehow finds time to also be the editor of MAA Reviews.

Thanks for explaining the rational demographics of why things are as they are, given current industrial reality. I so tire of people whining about inequity without discussing the underlying issues. Too many in Clark County want something for nothing (no tolls, no tax, more supermarkets) without even bothering to think these things through. Well done!

I'm sure the owner is corporate, long gone and protected from any liability. That is the normal way to "do business" since the 80's, even for small operators. Even slumlords have dozens of LLC's and mazes of "contractors" to help "externalize costs." Another public-cost bailout for private profit, because legislators are bought and sold by "business interests" like trading cards.

One way of measuring a business' economic health is by its assets (particularly liquid assets such as cash), divided by the number of shares available. By the simple measure of cash-on-hand divided by number of shares, the calculated value of a VFC share has moved from $192 (in 2007) to $194 (in November 2008) to $131 in late 2009, to $111 in Sep 2010 to less than $50 today, as measured by the scant data publicly available to a diligent reader of their own web site. More precise data can be viewed at the URL below, but from the outside it appears that VFC has abandoned all serious business planning for a "hail mary pass" that exhausts their capital and development budgets on operational expenses. This is not a sound long-term strategy and will not work.
There are examples of small-format cooperative groceries working in thousand-square-foot spaces, the most relevant of which to Vancouver is the Yelm Food Cooperative north of us. A more urban model with a larger (3000 SF) footprint is Alberta Cooperative Grocery in Portland. Neither used the "online buying club with a join fee" model that VFC seems to have adopted, and with good reason. Yearly cash flows and financials show that a marginal grocery needs to charge an average markup in the neighborhood of 40% and keep labor costs at 22% of gross revenues or less. I do not see the currentVFC doing this, else their numbers would be better. Math is a merciless master.
I would encourage the Vancouver Food Cooperative board to publicly put its roadmap and financials on its website, if only to be clear and honest with itself. Heroic action does not scale, nor pencil out over time to provide substantive access to more wholesome food for the poor and working-class families of west Vancouver.

It will be interesting to see (and obvious within ten months) whether or not the "emerging leaders within the group have taken a hard-headed business approach" or if they are even capable of doing so. One of the things that the over-controlling founders worked very hard to do was to control information, keeping it from owners and other board members, such that many of the early planning documents were effectively destroyed. It would astonish me if any of the current board was even aware of the options under consideration before Sunrise O'Mahoney's unauthorized talks to open a VFC "first store" in west Camas or other consultant-driven idiocy that led to fixation on a $2 million, 6000-square foot store.
As secretary of VFC during the key time before shares were sold and the first annual meeting, it was a point of pride that ALL board meetings were publicly announced on the web site well in advance, all members of the community (not just members) were invited and that draft minutes of those meetings were usually posted to the public web site within a day or two, if not that very evening. Such public minutes always included data on current member numbers, bank balances and major income or expenditures. If "emerging leaders" can indeed take "a hard-headed business approach," I would invite them to do something similar. Make the road forward as transparent as possible for the general public and let them vote with their volunteer hours and dollars.
"Social capital" is key to "the cooperative advantage" when starting economically marginal, socially important businesses such as a cooperative grocery. People will risk more, give more and be more loyal to a well-conceived and honestly executed plan they believe in and understand. Since before its first elections the VFC board of directors has either chosen not to create such a plan or to hide it well under a smokescreen of fear and petty personal politics. If there is a good plan out there, the board should share it, lest they whither as the dwindling prey-base of trusting but naive investors from the suburbs expires. The working-class families of west Vancouver mostly see the co-op as a hobby for oblivious do-gooders, with more concern for itself than them or the larger community.

The "greatest generation" gave us FDR, Social Security, rural electrification, the GI Bill, a federal highway system and Medicare. Boomers gave us sexual liberation, rock music, Ronald Reagan, deficit spending and the "war on drugs." Please don't ask me to thank you for what your parents did while you let it crumble. The schools I attended were used by boomers, not built by them (and increasingly defunded).
Prove worthy of the many gifts you have been given. If properly done, this bridge will stand for another century, so show some vision for someone other than yourselves. There is still time to serve something greater than your selfish selves.

Thank you for putting tolls in perspective and providing clear counter-examples. The issue is not whether government is collecting the money or not (Barlow's concession allowed him to keep tolls for himself), but whether whining something-for-nothing parasites will once again bully their way out of paying for services that they use. I generally thought it was a good sign when the I-205 bridge opened without a toll in 1982, but now I see that this was a huge mistake. Bridges across the Columbia have historically had tolls, and most of those have been retired.
"Land of the free," indeed. When will we be rid of freeloading baby-boomers and their eternal sense of entitlement?

Report: Pens 'not currently interested' in Bryzgalov
Sep 30, 2013, 4:45 PM EDT
The Pittsburgh Penguins are not — repeat: not — currently interested in Ilya Bryzgalov.
That's according to Pens beat writer Josh Yohe of the Tribune-Review, who cites a "very reliable source" in the wake of yesterday's report to the contrary.
With Pens backup Tomas Vokoun out indefinitely with a blood-clot issue, it's expected Jeff Zatkoff will get the first chance to play behind starter Marc-Andre Fleury.
If Fleury gets off to a solid start, the Pens may not feel the need to bring in an experienced backup. But if he's as shaky as he was in the playoffs and Vokoun's future remains cloudy, they may opt to do something about it.
Whether that something is Bryzgalov is another question. The 33-year-old comes with a fair bit of baggage, and he wouldn't arrive in Pittsburgh without a good-sized media circus surrounding him. Not to mention, he wasn't very good last year in Philly.
Unfortunately for the Pens, there isn't much in the way of available free agents. Jose Theodore and Johan Hedberg are still unsigned for a reason. So for now it's up to Fleury. But if he struggles out of the gate, feel free to fire up the Ryan Miller speculation.

Ryan Miller is an interesting candidate as no one has brought up his name. A change of scenery would help him but well have to see with Fleury. He's got one more shot with me but if he flops again then hell be done with him! Bringing Bryzaster would be a major mistake by Shero.
- Tyler - Sep 30, 2013 at 5:08 PM
While Miller is an interesting thought, the Penguins are already $1.6m over the cap. Putting Vokoun on LTIR only frees up $2m.
Fleury is set to make $5m while Miller is set to make $6.25m. Assuming Buffalo actually -wanted- Fleury, they'd have to do a package deal for something like Fleury and Niskanen for Miller.
- Jason Brough - Sep 30, 2013 at 5:25 PM
Remember though, the Sabres could retain some of Miller's salary.

Aww man. I was really hoping he would go to PIT. Would def make the rivalry more fun
- joey4id - Sep 30, 2013 at 6:02 PM
Theodore would have been a better choice than Bryz.
- letsgopens8771 - Sep 30, 2013 at 10:11 PM
Both ill conceived notions are insulting to me as a Penguins fan.
- sgtr0c - Sep 30, 2013 at 6:20 PM
Why would Buffalo eat some salary for a goalie who has issues winning a cup, that was surrounded by great talent? Do they have Pittsburgh's talent? Would it turn out better for them with Fluery with their current team? Why would they be willing to hand the Pens a gift?
- phillyphanatic77 - Sep 30, 2013 at 6:20 PM
Never believed the initial story to begin with, but it sure would be comical, come playoff time, to see the Pens switching back and forth, from one sieve to another. The only way Bryz can be successfull in this league is if he's playing for Tippett or Torts (or some other defensive minded system). Otherwise the results will be exactly the same as in Philly. The guy is just an average goalie.
Though, I would like to see him get another gig somewhere some it can be proven once and for all that it was just not the Flyers defense failing this nutjob…. and whuddya know, he can't even get a gig overseas.

Orange County recognizes veterans with breakfast
"We don't do enough of it, honoring our vets," said Peter Wehr, commander of the Civil Air Patrol. "They gave themselves, not only of their time but their bodies and sometimes their lives, their souls for the United States of America."
Wehr was one of many who celebrated at the Veterans' Day appreciation breakfast at the Central Orange Senior Center. Co-sponsored by the Orange County Department of Social Services, Department on Aging and Amedisys Hospice Services, the event brought together people who often are tight-lipped about their experiences.
"This gives the veterans a chance to talk to each other and talk about their service," added Wehr. "Most of them don't talk about their service."
Four of the five branches of the armed forces were recognized (no one attended from the U.S. Coast Guard), including those who served in World War II, Vietnam, the Korean War and Afghanistan.
Students from Cedar Ridge High School sang the national anthem. After recognition of fallen service men and women, Cadet Daniel T. Ernandes played "Taps".
Local elected officials on hand for the celebration included County Commissioners chair Barry Jacobs and commissioners Mark Dorosin and Renee Price.
Jesse G. Torres, a veteran who attended, is a member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Al Meyer Chapter 637. He served in Vietnam and lost a brother in that conflict. Torres said that today's veterans get a much warmer homecoming than some before them.
"The one big difference is that America has recognized that the way Vietnam veterans were treated was unfair and they have decided that they will not treat a service member that way coming home again," Torres said. "We as veterans are committed to not letting that happen ever again.
"We as veterans need to remind America what the price of freedom is. Since we no longer have the draft, it's a purely volunteer service, but some people seem not to be aware."
Col. Jeff Copeland of the N.C. Army National Guard said that veterans are still giving of themselves. He said that veterans in the Wounded Warriors have worked with victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, helping them to cope with the loss of a limb.
Copeland said that the Wounded Warriors reminded the victims that it wasn't the end but a beginning.
"Despite advances in prosthetics and medical technology, the fighting spirit and perseverance of our veterans does not come from that," he said. "It comes from the heart."
One way to honor veterans is by remembering their service and sacrifices, Copeland said.
"Let us always remember the 2 million veterans as the heroes they are even when the guns aren't shooting," he said. "Today is but one small spark in the flame of pride that burns across our country everyday. Today is a way to remember those who are no longer here. It's a way to say we remember."

Fluid Experience Technology.
Designed from the ground up to be extensible, personal, pervasive.
Our team has been designing new ways to use machines for decades. We created one of the first pen-based interfaces, and we took that company public. We created the first projection keyboard, anticipating the need for a more streamlined mobile experience. Our last company (Canesta) created the key 3D sensor component of the Xbox One Kinect, and in late 2010 Microsoft acquired Canesta. We're geekily fascinated by 3D perception, motion control, computer vision and machine learning algorithms, as well as low-power wireless technology. Among the founders we've authored hundreds of patents over our careers.
Suffice it to say, we're a tad obsessive about advancing how machines fit into our lives. We've had a long time to think about how your experiences with your digital devices can be amazing. Heck, we've had a long time to think about how devices can interact with their surroundings, even without you being around. And now, with the dawning of the "Internet of Things" – where everyday objects that we don't now think of as "smart" have network connectivity – we're imagining the power and potential of simply and elegantly enabling these objects with 3D perception. And that's what inspired us to create this new technology we call Fluid Experience.

What Makes Fluid Experience Revolutionary?
Fluid Experience is always learning.
Fluid Experience uses commodity sensors.
Fluid Experience enables all kinds of disruptive applications.
Fluid Experience changes the economics of 3D perception.

Hubbard: Now we're thinking again…Written by Ian Hubbard | | firstname.lastname@example.com
I imagine now is the time "culture experts" track their buzzfeeds in hopes of their early year predictions coming true. An old man once advised me to "always stay away from guessing games that aren't played with a board, unless it brings home the bread."
That little ditty of wisdom has stuck in my temporal lobe. See, I can never take predictions seriously. Yeah, it's all good fodder, but it allows too many fools to become prophets. I call them "Little Howies" after the famed Mr. Beale.
Football analysts are the biggest criminals of this. Their word is as good as my mother's and I know for a fact that she is of higher knowledge. The other day, for instance, I was listening to another ESPN replica cover his projections for Johnny Manziel's upcoming NFL career. He had that "Forever a jock" voice; the voice yearning to be the high school dick all over again.
"Manziel has the potential to remake the quarterback position on the professional level if given the right offensive scheme," the analyst said. "He proved himself a wizard with his big play instincts while playing in Kevin Sumlin's high flying Aggies offense.
"Yes, he's young and somewhat inexperienced and he isn't the typical height for a pocket passer. But his arm strength and accuracy on the run have already brought comparisons to Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young. With his sheer talent – if given the right tutelage – I see his name potentially being mentioned in the same breath as today's elite quarterbacks within a few years."
It was obvious the guy had his fingers crossed under the table. Now, he may anticipate Manziel dropping a few dimes on unsuspecting defenses – if all goes right. But does the man expect it?
The great problem with sports analysis and cultural analysis and political analysis and guessing who will win the hot dog eating contest is the inconsideration of the unknown.
What if Manziel breaks his leg? What if he becomes the next Heath Shuler? What if Ndamukong Suh eats him for lunch? WHAT IF THE WORLD ENDS BEFORE DRAFT DAY?
So far, I've refrained from going back on my word, but there is one prediction I am willing to make for this year: At some point this year, something big is going to happen.
Granted, there are a few integers missing from that prediction. I'm quite sure of my inability to convince you on the what or who or why or how or when or where. Definitely the where, which is the key.
The aforementioned unknown is a mystery lying somewhere between here and heaven. It's a coin flip. Not one of the common men knows exactly what is going to happen. And neither do I.
On the other hand, I do have expectations and anticipations. Expectations and anticipations are the gut feelings you may not wish to come true. They come with either the utmost confidence of success or the dread of believing something utterly terrible will happen.
That may be splitting hairs on a bald man's head but that's fine. This is America; you can think that – for now.
I must say I am excited for the next 12 months. Success is on the table; I just have to get out of bed in the morning. Yet, there's tribulation lingering.
That's where the fun lies — in the anticipation for some hellish event that will etch itself in our psyche. What's going to happen? Where will it happen? Who will be the culprit? Even more important, how will the public react?
Regardless of whether it's another "terror threat" or a gift from above, I expect the public to react like spastic mongoloids as it always has in times of trouble and times of elation. And with the stack of dynamite we've been sitting on since that fateful day in September, it won't take much to ignite the Northern Hemisphere.
This year is shaping up to be a train wreck. Smell the fear rising. The analysts are waiting to see who will be the next An-Awlaki, Snowden or Miley. And I say "Good! Let's tear this party up before it comes tumbling down."
We shall see how it all shakes down. Until then, stay calm and keep your mouth shut – someone may be listening in.

On This Page
This article describes how to troubleshoot a custom-created smart tag that does not work as you expect.
Smart tag technology gives Microsoft Office programs the ability to recognize data that you enter. Office then offers on-the-spot access to actions that relate to that data. To develop smart tags, you can use Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications or Microsoft Visual C++ or Extensible Markup Language (XML).
The Smart Tag Does Not Work in One or More Office ProgramsVerify that the recognizer is being loaded by Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. To do this, follow these steps:
The Smart Tag Is Not Listed in the Recognizers ListThis behavior can occur for the following reasons.
An Office Program Was Running When the Smart Tag Was RegisteredAs long as one instance of Word or Excel is open, there is the potential that the smart tag will not be registered correctly with the Office programs. Outlook used with WordMail keeps an instance of Word open, so you must also quit Outlook when you install smart tags. Finally, Microsoft Internet Explorer may interfere with the installation if you browse to a page that contains smart tags.
The Security Settings Are Too RestrictiveSmart tags cannot run if they are unsigned and if your security settings are set too restrictively. To verify your security settings in Office, follow these steps:
The Smart Tag Dynamic Link Library Stopped RespondingTo find out whether your smart tag dynamic link library (DLL) has stopped responding and is disabled, follow these steps. Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ )How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
Registration of the Smart Tag DLL is InvalidIf you registered the smart tag DLL in the registry by using a Class ID (CLSID) that was generated by Visual Basic for Applications, it is possible that your DLL's Global Unique Identifier (GUID) has changed. This is because the generation of GUIDs in Visual Basic for Applications is determined by your project's compatibility settings. To verify your project's compatibility settings, follow these steps:
Re-Register the Smart Tag DLLTo ensure a clean registration of the smart tag DLL, follow these steps:
For more information about how to create custom smart tag recognizer DLLs or action DLLs, refer to the Smart Tag Development Help file that is included with Smart Tag Software Development Kit (SDK). To obtain the Smart Tag SDK, see the following Microsoft Web site:

True Blood
10 Best Pam Quotes of All Time
Fangtasia just wouldn't be the sleazy dive that it is without Pam. She's just so ... welcoming. Check out her 10 best quotes of all time to pump yourself up for the Season 4 premiere on June 26. What a tasty treat!
Just don't get so excited that you spill Tru Blood all over your Prada pumps.
1. Pam gets sentimental: "Now, why'd you have to go kill that maenad? She was a terrific decorator."
If your idea of good decorating is a giant meat statue, then sure.
2. Pam schools Bill: "This is not just about your relationship, you infatuated tween. There's a bigger picture."
We didn't want to go there, but there is something sort of tweenage about Bill, huh?
3. Pam and Jessica have girl time: "Let's go to the ladies' room and stare at ourselves in the mirror."
Always the best solution for an awkward situation.
4. Bill: "Tell me, do you enjoy livin' halfway up his [Eric's] backside the way you do?"
Pam: "Yes, it's nice. You should try it sometime."
Yes, please.
5. Pam gets pissed at Lafayette: "I don't know what it is about me that makes people think I want to hear their problems. Maybe I smile too much. Maybe I wear too much pink. But please remember I can rip your throat out if I need to. And also know that I am not a hooker. That was a long, long time ago."
Girl, Lafayette didn't say "hooker" he said "hookah." Totally different.
6. Pam shows her commitment to the job: "Blah, blah ... vampire emergency. Blah."
The only vampire emergency we can think of is someone stealing Eric's collection of leather pants.
7. Bill: "I find myself doubting whether you were ever truly human."
Pam: "Thank you."
Fingers crossed for a human-Pam flashback!
8. Pam hangs with Arlene's kiddos: "I hate them. They're so stupid."
Don't cross Arlene's children, Pam. That fetus could crush you.
9. Pam flirts with the Magistrate in Eric's sex dungeon: "How'd you know I was a Tiffany's girl?"
The way this exchange is going, the magistrate should probably come up with a safety word.
10. Pam pleads with Bill and Sookie: "Don't leave me alone with this idiot immigrant."
Yvetta: "Idiot? Ha. In Tallinn, I am a cardiologist."
Raise your hand if you'd rather spend your life dancing around a poll for Eric than making tons of cash as a doctor. Thought so.

Smart 401(k) Investing—Special Features of Your 401(k)
- Borrowing From Your 401(k)
Taking Hardship Withdrawals
- Legal Issues
Taking Hardship Withdrawals
You may be able to withdraw from your 401(k) account to meet the needs of a real financial emergency. The IRS cites a number of circumstances that may qualify as a hardship withdrawal, including:
- out-of-pocket medical expenses;
- down payment or repairs on a primary home;
- college tuition and related educational expenses;
- threat of mortgage foreclosure or eviction; and
- burial and funeral expenses.
While the IRS sets certain guidelines, it leaves it to your employer to determine the specific criteria of a hardship withdrawal. For instance, one plan may consider a medical expense to be a hardship, but not payment of college tuition. Even if your plan allows for a hardship withdrawal, you should probably think of it as a last resort. Companies often prohibit contributions for at least six months after taking the withdrawal, and hardship distributions permanently reduce your account balance. In addition, you will have to pay taxes on the amount you withdraw, plus a 10 percent penalty if you are under age 59½.
If you do apply, your plan will probably require you:
- to prove that your situation qualifies as a hardship, usually by providing itemized bills or other supporting documents; and
- to show you can't get the money you need any other way.
You may be expected to withdraw any after-tax dollars you've contributed to your 401(k) account, borrow the maximum permitted from the plan, and apply for commercial loans as part of the qualification process.
Finally, your plan administrator may follow up after the withdrawal to verify that you used the money as you indicated you would in your application. And you'll usually have to wait six months before you can again contribute to your plan.
What Hardship Costs
|401(k) Tip
|Not all plans permit distributions from 401(k) accounts because of hardship. Ask your employer if hardship withdrawals are allowed.
A hardship withdrawal costs you any future earnings you might accumulate on the amounts you take out of your plan account. In most cases, you will also owe income tax and possibly a 10 percent tax penalty on early distributions on your withdrawal.
You can take hardship withdrawals from either a traditional or Roth 401(k) account, if your employer plan allows them. If you take your withdrawal before age 59½, you must pay an additional 10 percent penalty. The IRS grants several exceptions to the age rule, including:
- disability;
- medical bills exceeding 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income;
- court order to pay funds to a spouse, child or dependent; and
- permanent lay off, termination, quitting or taking early retirement in the same year you turn 55.

TinEye is a cool new tool that will search the web for similar images. After installing the FireFox plugin, you can right click on an image, and search for similar images across the web. I decided to give it a whirl on some of my images. Interestingly, I discovered that cNet has stolen and modified one of my more popular images :
Dust and Rust image (Original Blog Post):
Due to hotlinking to that image, I had previously downsized it, and put an ugly watermark on it. cNet grabbed the original off the site before I pulled it.
cNet Version of my Photo (found at this cNet Blog):
They even gave someone named Sarah Harbin a nice credit for the photo. Sweet! I'll be contacting cNet to see what they have to say. It's a shame… all Sarah had to do was ask nicely, all I would have asked for is a photo credit and a link back to this site.
Wow. That kind of sucks. Sounds like a cool tool to look into.
That definately stinks! I had that happen with a local newspaper that managed to find one of my shots.
To add insult to injury, they slapped their staff photographer's name on the bottom.
I totally here where you're coming from (and am going to go try out Tin-Eye!)
Certainly a more than useful tool for graphic artists and photographers who suffer from unlicensed use of their work. But the problem with such copyright violations is that it really takes up a lot of effort on the owner's part to search for wrongful usage. If only there was a way to do that easily and efficiently.
Hi Sean,
If you registered your copyright to the picture in a timely manner then you can take legal action in the form of a copyright infringement suit.
A recent court decision reaffirms the benefit of registering the copyright to our work.
I would be very interested to see how far you go with this and what their response is. This sort of infringement seems almost unbelievable in this day. I mean what would it have cost the company to license the picture and be done with it.

As of this year, there are six relay churches that help collect the shoe boxes. These churches all help to increase the number of shoe boxes that are sent out every year.
It doesnt end with the giving of the shoe boxes. Each child is offered the chance to learn about God through a new program called The Greatest Journey.
Each child that gets a shoe box gets a chance to be saved along the way, said Curtis Nappier, Aiken area coordinator for Operation Christmas Child.
Since 1993, they will have reached 100 million boxes this year.
The $7 required for each box also goes toward the materials for each child in this program, which consists of three booklets, The New Testament Bible and a certification at the end of this 12-week program. All of these come in the childrens language. They are available in 54 languages, and the program is adding 20 more this year.
Some people put a lot of money into the shoe boxes but it doesnt have to be that way.
It doesnt take a lot, said Lance Danko, media relations coordinator. Normal, everyday items can make a difference.
There are many children that go through this program, and about 70 percent of them have accepted Jesus, according to Nappier.
This years Operation Christmas Child mission is to demonstrate Gods love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
National Collection Week will be held Nov. 12 through 19, and the Aiken collection center for Operation Christmas Child, Aikens First Baptist Church, will be collecting shoe boxes.
