Menopause insomnia saver
4 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2650926 on May 13, 2008
Heel BHI, Calming has been my answer to those periods of sleepless nights I've experienced the last few years (I'm 55). Insomnia is common during menopause and Calming under the tongue at bedtime helps me relax without feeling druged in the morning. It is also helpful on those days when everything just seems like it's too much. It calmly calms.

Heel BHI, calming
Posted by Reviewer1603978 on Jul 31, 2008
This medication is very calming to your body. I use it at night when my thoughts are racing and during the day if I am anxious about anything. Being homeopathic, it is very safe and not addictive.
Truly effective for me.

As I age, I notice middle of the night wakening, tension. I then take one tablet and I fall back asleep again, relaxed, feel rested in the am.
Before bed, if needed, it makes me sleepy within 15 minutes and allows me to just drop off.
It works so well I am ordering again.
Very happy

I take these if I have problems falling asleep and it has worked every time will now:)
One of the few that works!
Posted by HealthandBeautyGirl on Feb 04, 2014
I have severe insomnia, this is one of the few homeopathic compositions that actually helps me. This is my main go to rememdy when I can't fall asleep, it usually works. The odd time it doesn't, I go to another composition called sleep aid by Nelsons.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Austin Collie's season is over, the result of a ruptured patella tendon, coach Chuck Pagano said Monday.
Collie suffered the right knee injury Sunday playing in his first game of the season in the Colts' 22-17 home loss to Jacksonville. He will be placed on injured reserve. Because Collie is in the final year of his contract, he could have played his last game with the Colts.
"It's terrible, you hate to see it," Pagano said. "He put so much time and effort into working on his craft to be a great pro. We all know Austin's history and what he's been through and dealt with, with his concussions. To get back out there and have this happen, I feel awful (for him)."
Collie missed the first two games this season recovering from a concussion suffered during the preseason. He has a history of concussions dating back two years ago when he missed several games.
To fill Collie's spot, the Colts picked up rookie receiver Nathan Palmer off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. Palmer played at Northern Illinois with Colts backup quarterback Chandler Harnish.
Palmer, who is 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, is a native of Elkhart. He will immediately join the active roster, per the rules of signing another team's practice-squad player. He caught 47 passes for 695 yards at Northern Illinois last season.
"Nathan Palmer, we evaluated him coming out (of college) and had a pretty good grade on him," Pagano said. "He's a productive guy. We're excited to get him in here and get him going."
Palmer wrote on Twitter his thanks to the 49ers. He followed that comment with "I'm excited for a new opportunity in my home state!"
The Colts have a bye this weekend and return to action at home against the Green Bay Packers the following week.

When I was about ten years old, my parents used to take my sister and me to visit our Aunt Faygie, and the first thing we did upon arrival was to make a beeline for her jewelry box, placed in a special place just for us. We'd empty its contents onto her living room rug and then pick out our favorite, a very long strand of cheap beads. We'd then go about the business of making all sorts of designs with it. Sometimes the designs got rather complicated, meaning lots of crossing points. But I now realize that, because the strand had no clasp to un-clasp, our designs were always the trivial knot. I'm sure that, had the strand possessed a clasp, we would have wound up with many non-trivial knots, including perhaps K(5; 2) which appears on page 321 of our knot theory book, or the less symmetric knot top-left of p. 228. We also played Cat's Cradle, another game which resulted in trivial knots. For non-trivial knots, we had to wrap packages or tie our shoes.
Other than those childhood experiences (and tying shoes and ribbons), this is the first time I've ever had anything to do with knot theory. (I've reviewed books here on things like Galois Theory and Category Theory, but knot theory is new to me.) It was for that reason that I grabbed the opportunity to review this book, and I'm still enthusiastic.
However, I have to be honest and say that there's much that I don't understand. I certainly know more about knot theory than I did before (and still more after having read the book twice, and looked up knot theory on Wikipedia), but I have to make the disclaimer that I'm far from an expert. In some sense, of course, that makes me particularly qualified to write this review. After all, it's written for people like me, who didn't know knot theory. So I'm coming from the right perspective.
Once I decided to free myself from the expectation (and burden) of thoroughly understanding every single sentence in this book, I enjoyed it immensely. (I'm the kind of math enthusiast who sometimes sits through a colloquium, understanding very little, yet feeling enthralled.)
Besides, there are such pretty pictures! Approximately two-thirds (I counted.) of the pages contain these visions of "complicated simplicity", and that includes distinct logos at the beginning of each chapter. I knew enough knot theory (and knots in general) to realize that pretty pictures in a knot theory text would be mandatory, so I was not surprised. Still, a lesser book would possibly not sport diagrams of such quantity and quality.
In general, the author strives for clarity, and that was appreciated by this reviewer and will be appreciated by students. The approach he has chosen is the intuitive one. For example, on p. 154, beginnng to describe Dehn surgery: "Suppose that K is an (oriented) knot… Now, "slightly" thicken K, so that we form a 3-dimensional manifold called the tubular neighbourhood of K…" That gives us the idea without bogging us down with the rigors of topology. On the next page he continues with his non-rigorous description; for example, "We may view l as being 'parallel' to the knot K". (He does give the more rigorous definition of l as "the intersection between the Seifert surface of K and T".)
I also enjoyed how he always keeps us abreast of the general picture, in particular keeping us up to date with respect to the various new results and successes (and failures). For example, again on p. 154: "…every closed connected orientable 3-manifold can be constructed by either of these methods [Dehn surgery and covering spaces]. Therefore, in theory, we should be able to gain insight into the classification of 3-manifolds by using knot theory. However, at present the relationship is weighted in the opposite direction, more has been gleaned about knots by understanding their related 3-manifolds."
The book also mentions many unsolved, simple-sounding problems. In fact, we don't have to read far to find them; on p. 24, in a short section on "The cobordism group of knots" (a way to "change" the semi-group of knots into a group), we read that "at the time of writing, no methods have been found that will detect exactly which knots are slice knots" (meaning, which knots are equivalent of the trivial knot — meaning, in turn, the nature of the identity equivalence class).
This book covers a lot of territory. Here's a rundown of the fifteen chapters: Chapter 1 covers "The Fundamental Concepts of Knot Theory", including a non-rigorous definition, two descriptions (one more rigorous than the other) of when two knots are equivalent, links (unions of more than one knot), the "sum" of two knots (but no additive inverse), and, again, thoughts on how to "make" an additive inverse (via replacing knots by equivalence classes of knots).
Chapter 2 concerns progress towards classifying knots, via regular diagrams, knot tables, and knot graphs. Here we learn about alternating knots (Non-alternating knots are a relatively new phenomenon.), meaning that, as we move along the knot, the "sense" of each crossing point is the opposite from the preceding. Chapter 3 talks about Global (concerning the set of all knots) versus Local problems (about particular knots).
Chapter 4 chronicles one of the main thrusts of knot theory research, namely finding "knot invariants". A knot invariant is a function whose domain is the set of knots, and which gives the same value for equivalent knots. (Thus, when we find two knots with different values of the invariant, we know that the knots cannot be equivalent. Knot invariants can distinguish between knots, and which knots can be distinguished depends on the particular invariant.) Examples of knot invariants are minimum number of crossing points, bridge number, unknotting number, linking number, and coloring number.
One of my favorite theorems in the book appears in the first section of Chapter 6, on Seifert Matrices. This theorem concerns something called Seifert surfaces; every knot is the boundary of some surface, called a Seifert surface of the knot. Seifert matrices are a little more involved, but they lead, in the next chapter, to two further invariants, namely the Alexander-Conway polynomial and the signature of a knot. Chapter 7 involves tori, and knots thereon (called, appropriately, torus knots); there turn out to be invariants which apply to torus knots, and not necessarily to all knots.
I was also fascinated by a theorem which I had not known (or not remembered): The complement (in the open 3-ball) of the interior of a torus is a torus; thus the open 3-ball can be formed by the gluing together of two tori — and (just as fascinating) — the "meridian" of one is the "longitude" of the other (and vice versa).
There are at least two ways in which every knot leads to a manifold (and vice versa), and Chapter 8 is about the above-mentioned Dehn surgery and covering spaces. Closely related to knots are tangles (Chapter 9) and braids (Chapter 10, a favorite of mine).
There is another polynomial, and then a class of polynomials, which lead to further invariants; the polynomial which started all this is the Jones polynomial, and so important is it in the history of knot theory that the phenomenon is called "the Jones revolution".
The scope of this book is such that, not only does it include (as its title implies) applications, but it goes into detail. I confess that I understood very little of the three application chapters, having little background (or memory) of the relevant fields of application. Chapter 12, "Knots via Statistical Mechanics," talks about "the 6-vertex model" and "the partition function for braids"; it all leads to yet another invariant. Chapter 13, "Knot Theory in Molecular Biology" talks about "DNA and knots," "site-specific recombination," "a model for site-specific recombination," and "recombination due to the recombinase Tn3 Resolvase." Chapter 14, "Graph Theory Applied to Chemistry" deals with "an invariant of graphs: the chromatic polynomial," "Bing's conjecture and spatial graphs," and "the chirality of spatial graphs".
Finally, Chapter 15 concerns "singular knots", meaning knots that cross themselves (not merely "over" or "under" but THROUGH). In this chapter, "Vassiliev Invariants" generalizes, in a sense, some of the "polynomial-type" invariants, thus providing a new setting in which to study them as well as giving "a certain topological interpretation to the Jones-type invariants" (p. 300).
As I said at the beginning of this review, I found this first reading about knot theory tough-going, and there are admittedly parts that I gave up on (mostly the applications). However, I do have some suggestions about some of the things that I did seem to have a good grasp on. (All these suggestions are nitpicks, and exceptions.) On page 35, in explaining how to obtain a graph from any given knot, there could have been an intermediary diagram between Figures 2.3.1(a) and 2.3.1(b); in this diagram could have appeared, in each "white" space, the graph-vertices, and these graph vertices could have then been connected to each "nearly" knot crossing point. It might also be good to say that each c (crossing point) gives rise to an edge of the graph G (and vice versa). (If I have that correct, I think that would be helpful to readers.) And concerning the top diagram on page 77, I'm still confused. Aren't there two ways to splice, or is he saying always do it vertically ?
Pages 80–81 also stymied me. First he states the theorem that "a closed (i.e., one that is compact and without boundary) orientable surface, F, is topologically equivalent… to the sphere with several handles…" Then, in the next paragraph (after the Example) he says, "Since F has a boundary, then by the above theorem F is homeomorphic to a sphere with several handles…" I need him to explain.
On page149, Example 7.5.1, the calculation seems messed up; the sequence of formulas used seems incorrect to me. (The ideas are quite clear.) Finally, on p. 205, where he explains how to express each braid as a product of the n–1 "special braids", it would have saved me some groping if he had said, referring to Figure 10.2.9, something like "moving from the bottom of the square to the top".
But again these are mere occasional nitpicks, and perhaps not all of them well-taken on my part.
This book makes me see that knot theory is almost too pretty and too profound to be true! So much other math comes into it — matrices, determinants, polynomials, continued fractions — even e. It's an amazing field, connected with other amazing fields, and the book does it all justice.

In today's edition Ghostcrawler says "U mad bro" and let's us all know that there is a pony.
Table of Contents
I'd never mock a player for a legit concern expressed constructively.
Really though, I've been in this industry for awhile, and you just get to a point where you let the negativity roll off of you. I talk to enough players to know that by and large most of them still love the game. In fact, many of the haters still love the game or they would have moved on. They only get upset because it's important to them (or else they just enjoy trolling).
You can't take the venom that shows up in every public forum (whether you're talking about games, movies, politics or global warming) as an indication of the health of the entire community. I'm a gamer at heart, so I make it a minigame of never getting upset no matter what the nattering nabobs might say. It's a game I almost always win. Gin helps.
Finding good info here is one of those needle in a haystack deals. We have some exceptional posters, and their feedback makes it all worth while. If we ever get to the point where those A+ comments stop showing up, then I probably will as well. So far, it's still worth it to get a sense for what players think of the game, what problems they're having, or when they are or are not having fun.
On the flip side, whatever you guys can do to improve that signal to noise ratio is in your best interest. You want information getting to the developers as quickly and succinctly as possible. The occasional offtopic thread (like this one) isn't a big deal. Very long threads that essentially rehash the same idea over and over again are more of a stumbling block. Ranty threads with little actual information are just wasting everyone's time.
Edit: Turns out "nabobs" has no Y.
There is no law in this world that you can't make a point and be rude at the same time, and most people seem to embrace this.
Nope, there is no law, but I will likely ignore it.
We're willing to take the risk that some amazing gem of design genius might be lost inside a ranting or whining post. If you want us to take your feedback seriously, communicate the way grown men and women communicate in civil society. We're not asking for something unreasonable here. :)
you seem to live in a 60's sitcom. You dont seem aware that the average person curses every 3 words in everyday life, and thats considered normal by most, not rude.
I make full use of the entirety of the English language myself. You should probably tone it down here since this is a relatively public place and profanity understandably offends some people. But really that's not what I meant.
The anonymity of the Internet has fostered a culture where being ridiculously over the top with your communication is pretty typical. We're just asking you not to do it here. If it helps, imagine you're in a meeting room with all of the WoW designers and you have 30 seconds to make your point. Are you going to waste it on whining, you-hate-my-class, you-don't-play-the-game stuff? Or are you going to try to make an intelligent point that the designers will actually listen to and hopefully take under advisement?
If you've ever seen a court of law or a government debate, those discussions can get pretty heated, but the participants generally try to maintain a modicum of respect for each other. They want to focus on the legal and / or logical strength of the argument and not the color of the delivery.
In writing, you are generally supposed to show restraint in your use of adjectives and adverbs. Yes, they are necessary in specific situations, but if you overuse them, you risk bloating, confusing or derailing the actual point you're trying to make. The same is true of a forum post. Don't dress it up with junk, which around these parts is typically QQ. Speak plainly. There was a recent thread whose thesis was "Blizzard lies and here's an idea I had for a spell." The mistake there sort of speaks for itself.
Ever used capillary electrophoresis? I bet GC has run many of gels back in the day...
Ugh. Bad memories there. I hope I have PCR'd my last PCR. I respect the heck out of scientists and science educators, I really do, but orcs are more fun.
GC, arent you a systems analyst with a PhD?
Oceanography. I studied benthic ecology (hence the crab), and ecology uses a lot of statistics. The data sets tend to be large and noisy since so many variables are involved when you're looking at the way organisms interact with their environment. It's a complex system and in that way not unlike the virtual ecology of Azeroth.
The relative value of dodge vs. parry is something we'll have to play with. My gut reaction is that parry needs to be cheaper since avoiding 100% of one hit is more valuable than avoiding 50% of two hits, but I'm not sure how much cheaper. Avoiding spikiness (which dodge will contribute to) also has value, and if the second hit after a parry is dodged instead (such that you lose the parry "charge") that plays into the cost as well.
The passive talent tree bonuses for tanks will probably be something like 1) reduces damage taken, 2) increases damage done, 3) reduces damage taken in a way unique to your tree.
Yes, we're still dodging the DK question. For now. :)
Having choices to get mana back is good. Standing around to regen mana is bad.
However, we still ultimately need a way that healers who are playing badly, trying to keep alive an undergeared / underskilled tank, or just tackling content that they're not yet ready for, can run out of mana to the extent that the encounter is over.
It comes down to this: If a healer can't beat a dps one on one, then there is no way a healer will be able to keep an entire three-person team alive. In that scenario you might as well just run with 3 dps and there becomes no role for the healer in Arena teams.
Note: this does not mean that in every single case that a dps spec defeats a healing spec in a duel that there is a problem with the class. :)

We need your help in collecting information on issues you may be running into while using the Random Battleground feature. Specifically we want to know if you are experiencing the following (and when you experienced these issues):
- Not being able to enter Battlegrounds when the queue pops.
- Not being resurrected by the Spirit Healer when dying in a Battleground.
- Unable to see Spirit Healers after dying in a Battleground.
- Getting stuck in a Battleground after the match has finished.
- Becoming un-killable after dying in a Battleground.
If you've come across other issues related to Battlegrounds that are not included in the list, please feel free to describe what you were seeing and when you were seeing it.
We are currently focused on making certain that the starting experience is as streamlined as is possible, and adding additional elements to the starter area could potentially overwhelm and cause confusion amongst brand new players.
Instead, we are considering to add a mailbox closer to the starting area than the first town and make it accessible enough that experienced players would know where to find it quickly.
Although we have no intentions to change the current proportions of the original models, it is a possibility that we will add additional polygons to improve detail levels and such.
- None today -- but keep an eye out for our GDC coverage tomorrow. There should be some good stuff from Pardo, at least.

of our congregation in St. Luke's Theatre, located in the basement of our church complex.
Since Saint Luke's is situated on Restaurant Row in the heart of the Theater District, many of
our parishioners are aspiring, as well as professional, singers, dancers, musicians, and actors.
Twice a year, under the helm of director Helen Huff, we take advantage of their exceptional talents
to put together an entertaining evening of song and dance.
Proceeds from the performances benefit the Soup Kitchen.
This is our annual benefit show. This year we celebrated the 160th anniversary of the congregation
with an evening that included dinner and a special staged radio show.
Twice a year, Pastor Schmiege leads an enthusiastic group to the Synod's
retreat center, Koinonia, in the Adirondack mountains in Upstate New York.
The summer retreat is usually scheduled toward the end of July to the beginning of August.
Besides the time spent in Bible Study and worship, Koinonia offers several summer and
winter activities. The outdoor highlight of the Summer Retreat is an afternoon spent rafting on
the Delaware River. The Winter Retreat is usually scheduled in February, and includes
such activities as inner-tubing, cross-country skiing, and ice skating.
Both retreats are excellent opportunities to worship and reflect outside the confines of the city,
and are made available to anyone wishing to attend, regardless of their financial situation.

Session T17: Magnetic Alloys and Multilayers
8:00 AM–11:00 AM, Thursday, March 21, 2013
Room: 319

Abstract ID: BAPS.2013.MAR.T17.4
Abstract: T17.00004 : Unusually sharp paramagnetic phase transition in thin film Fe$_{3}$Pt invar
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Jasper Drisko
(University of Maryland)
John Cumings
(University of Maryland)
Invar alloys, typically 3d transition metal rich systems, are most commonly known for their extremely low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) over a wide range of temperatures close to room temperature. This anomalous behavior in the CTE lends Invar to a variety of important applications in precision mechanical devices, scientific instruments, and sensors, among others. Many theoretical models of Invar have been proposed over the years, the most promising of which is a system described by two coexisting phases, one high-spin high-volume and the other low-spin low-volume, that compete to stabilize the volume of the material as the temperature is changed. However, no theory has yet been able to explain all experimental observations across the range of Invar alloys, especially at finite temperature [1]. We have fabricated thin films of a Fe$_{3}$Pt Invar alloy and investigate them using Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). 23nm films are deposited onto SiN membrane substrates via radio-frequency magnetron sputtering from a pure Fe target decorated with Pt pieces. We observe novel magnetic domain structures and an unusually sharp phase transition between ferromagnetic (FM) and paramagnetic (PM) regions of the film under a temperature gradient. This sharp transition suggests that the FM-to-PM transition may be first order, perhaps containing a structural-elastic component to the order parameter. However, electron diffraction reveals that both the FM and PM regions have the same FCC crystal structure. \\[4pt] [1] Kakehashi, Y., \textit{Phys. Rev. B.} \textbf{38}, 474 (1988).

It's the holiday season, and that means there are gifts to buy, festive decorations to put up and parties to attend – some of which are sure to last well past sunset. Walking to your car or even home late in the dark can be risky; possible dangers include icy surfaces, attackers and cars full of drunk or distracted fellow partygoers.
Luckily, if you have a sturdy emergency flashlight, you can increase your chances of arriving safe and sound at your next destination – be it your car, your home or the next holiday party. Here are three ways your LED flashlight can protect you while walking at night:
1. Deter muggers. A quality LED flashlight is both bright and long-lasting. When a mugger is scoping out targets, he or she is less likely to go after a person who is surrounded by a bright radius of light from an emergency flashlight. Carrying a flashlight signals to would-be attackers that you're aware of your surroundings, which makes you a risky mark.
2. Help cars see you. If you don't have a flashlight or some sort of reflective material to make yourself visible to cars, you increase your risk of being hit by a vehicle. A bright LED flashlight will make it much easier for oncoming motorists to spot you. Of course, you shouldn't rely solely on drivers spotting your flashlight and avoiding you; it's important to remain aware and cautious of surrounding traffic while walking at night.
3. Get away from attackers. Your LED flashlight on its highest setting can help you see well into the distance; at close range, it can be positively blinding. When you're walking in the dark, you can use this to your advantage against an attacker. Flip on your emergency flashlight, and shine it in your attacker's eyes to momentarily stun the person and buy yourself a few extra moments to escape.

Idris Elba Isn't The Biggest Fan Of Tyler Perry
Although actor Idris Elba has worked with media mogul Tyler Perry, he recently revealed that he's not the biggest fan. While at a recent appearance at Rutgers University, he was asked for his input on the Spike Lee vs Tyler Perry debate and offered this response:
"Can I be candid? I don't like all of Tyler Perry's films. Yes, I did work with Tyler for "Daddy's Little Girls" because it portrayed a positive image of a black father. I am happy for Tyler's success…we need Tyler Perry…by going to support his movies, we need to show economic strength. But we are also responsible for elevating film. I'm not with buffoonish characters like Madea or Big Momma."
Interesting enough, earlier this month it was reported that Idris Elba, who was initially slated to play the role of detective Alex Cross in a series of films based on novels by James Patterson, had suddenly lost his role to Tyler Perry. EW reached out to a rep for the film to find out exactly what happened and was told:
"Sure, Idris is a great actor; Tyler Perry is a phenomenon. Tyler Perry is one of the most significant entertainers in all of media. He is a huge cross-media talent and presence — and he's a terrific actor whose range is going to be shown here. You're going to see Tyler Perry like you haven't seen him. He's 6'5″, he is a linebacker. He is an awesome physical presence and is just going to tear it apart here. It's an intense, dramatic role." Block says the film — "a kickass, crusading action picture" — will be the first of several Alex Cross films. "This is going to be the new Tyler Perry franchise, a worldwide one," he says. "That's the other thing: Tyler Perry is going to take this to the worldwide audience. It's just a very different, much bigger opportunity. We went to him! If you can get Tyler Perry or Will Smith, you try."

|Strusshamn an urban study for the municipality of Askøy at the west coast of Norway by Eriksen Skajaa Architects
|Tuesday, 15 February 2011 19:00
Strusshamn is a settlement on the southwest side of Askøy, an island outside of Bergen on the west coast of Norway, with strong ties to the ocean. The fjord was used for transport due to lack of roads and it was an important economic resource. When this changed and the car became the most important way of communication two centres developed without a clear connection to each other.
The site in Strusshamn is a former boat building factory for Viksund Boats that was bought by the municipality with the intention of implementing a new zoning plan and avoid heavy industry to develop in the old, preserved harbour environment. In their study Eriksen Skajaa Architects were looking for a way to connect the two parts of Strusshamn. By simple means like improving and defining different surfaces, re-establishing a hidden river, and introducing public spaces of different character their intent was to redefine Strusshamn and prepare for the integration of the new development at the Viksund site.
Strusshamn has a lot of different public services and mainly small-scale cultural activity. A combination of culture production and maritime culture can give Strusshamn the uniqueness that is needed to turn the place into both a good place to live and an interesting destination. Small culture "boathouses" were introduced, that will make a supplement to the housing as artist's studios and small shops. They will provide public life and reintroduce small-scale commerce to this once so lively harbour area. The culture "boathouses" can be rented separately or combined to make larger units.
The study examines three different combinations of density and program on the site, but with a similar layout and approach to the site. The layout is based on analysis of climate and landscape with an aim to create good public spaces and buildings with access to light and the spectacular view the landscape offers. A continuous public space with piers, public spaces, a promenade and backyards attach the new development to the rest of Strusshamn. A central canal on the site connects the two parts of the site together and increases the quality of both and this way not only the houses on the waterfront have access to the qualities of the harbour environment. Towards the fjord to the south lies a large public space for the whole of Strusshamn.
The new development is based on the historical buildings in Strusshamn. Small volumes that sometimes grow together and create larger units characterize the historical buildings. The buildings are close to the water and create spaces between that vary in size and quality. With those aspects in mind, the new development is a continuation and extension of the historical place, while at the same time demonstrating the possibilities of developing these kinds of sites into areas with more dense or urban structures.

Updated at: 11/30/2012 6:29 PM
The community of Cold Spring is reeling from the tragic loss of a police officer there.
Officer Tom Decker, 31, was shot and killed around 11 p.m. Thursday night near Winner's Bar on Main Street. Decker and his partner had been called out to that address, to check on a potentially suicidal male.
Officer Decker died at the scene. Authorities say he was shot twice, and it appears Decker was ambushed by the suspect.
Decker had been wearing his bulletproof vest, according to his chief, and had a partner with him.
Law enforcement agencies from across the region along with the Minnesota State Patrol launched a search for the suspect, who had left the scene.
Within an hour, Stearns County SWAT team investigators took Ryan Michael Larson, 34, of Cold Spring into custody. Larson was booked into the Stearns County Jail on murder charges early this morning.
Larson has a few traffic offenses and a disorderly conduct conviction on his record. But police did not have a great deal of contact with him.
A day into the investigation, the BCA said that many interviews have already been conducted and several guns have been located. Officers continue to interview potential witnesses and those involved with the incident. Officers are also continuing to search for additional evidence including any guns or weapons that may be related to this incident.
As for Decker, Police Chief Phil Jones said, "He was a chief's dream. Not only did I not have any problems with him, I also had six letters of commendation in the 6.5 years he was working with us." Cold Spring is a small department, with 16 full and part time officers.
He also said, "Everyone who met him, liked him. He was the department jokester, he had a great sense of humor."
Jones released that Decker leaves behind a wife and four young children. His parents live on a farm where Decker grew up, south of Cold Spring.
His brother told Eyewitness News that the family is in shock.
Officer Decker spent more than 10 years in law enforcement in Mille Lacs, Meeker and Stearns counties and had worked as an officer with the Cold Spring Police Department since March 2006.
Funeral arrangements for Officer Decker are not yet set.
Decker's body was brought to the cities for an autopsy, and has since been brought back to Cold Spring.
The shooting is being investigated by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Stearns County Sheriff's Office with assistance from the Cold Spring Police Department, the Minnesota State Patrol, the St. Cloud Police and several other agencies.
Law enforcement from the Twin Ports region and throughout the state are feeling affected by this as well.

Should I Use Sealer or Stain to Protect My Deck?
Many homeowners here in Central Valley have beautiful outdoor decks. Understandably, with the heat of summer months approaching, homeowners want to protect their decks. While the natural aging of wood products from UV rays and heat cannot be completely prevented, the aging process can be significantly slowed with proper care and attention to all exterior woodwork.
There are two categories of deck preservatives used by house painters and homeowners: sealers and stains.
Clear sealers have no colorant, but they absorb deeply into wood and work as a waterproofing agent. While clear sealers are useful in preventing cracking, they do not block UV rays, so your wood deck will still fade over time. For effective protection, professional painters recommend reapplying this product once each year. This type of protection will also build up over time with multiple applications.
Tinted sealers work similarly to clear sealers, but have more protective characteristics. Because tinted sealers have some colorant added, they are more resistant to UV rays and do not fade as quickly as clear sealers. This is the most common product used on most decks, since it provides good protection against graying and cracking while allowing the natural grain of the wood to show through. The darker the color of the tint, the more protection against graying the product provides. Tinted sealers usually last 2 years on decks, and up to 4 years on vertical surfaces such as fences or railings.
- Stains are closer to paint than sealers in the way they function. While they do slightly absorb into wood, stains remain closer to the surface and create a film barrier. All stains have water-repelling properties built in, but they also provide more coloration to outdoor woodwork. Stains range from semi-transparent (clear enough to see the wood grain) to dark solids; they can come in nearly any color, and typically last 3-5 years.
Semi-solid stains are much like semi-transparent stains, except that they have a deeper color and show less of the natural wood grain. They provide longer protection and can also be tinted in nearly any color.
Solid stains are practically indistinguishable from paint; the primary difference is that solid stain doesn't have a sheen or reflect light. Providing a thick, colored film, solid stains can be made to match or coordinate with the colors of your home siding. Just like paint, they must be applied in two coats, and they typically retain their strength and color for 4-5 years.
One final consideration in choosing a deck preservative is whether to use oil or latex/water-based products. We recommend using latex products since they are better for the environment, are easier to apply and clean, and are less likely to grow mildew.
Lancaster Painting offers professional painting services throughout Central Valley. As an experienced painting contractor, we have the knowledge and skills to protect your deck and home exterior. We gladly service the Turlock, Modesto and the surrounding regions of Central Valley.

I've been a graduate student over a year and half now and it never ceases to amaze me what a different world it is from being an undergraduate. There are still classes, there are still grades, there are still professors you like and professors that make you want to hire a hit man. But there's a deeper sense in which it's a completely different world. The main thing is the far greater independence that's expected of you. You're required to learn a lot on your own. There are of course caring professors and fellow graduate students who will help. But if you try and take a course in algebraic geometry and you don't know basic category or module theory, you're pretty much dead meat.
It's hard to see how the system can be otherwise. Graduate students are attempting to make the transition to being professional mathematicians. As such, they will need to learn new mathematics for their own work quickly and with no guidance. The intent at many programs is to race graduate students to the research level as quickly as possible at all costs. Thus, a lot of graduate programs encourage students to learn only what they need for their work. So graduate students need books that are concise but don't lack any necessary details, books that cover their subjects in a broad and up-to-the-minute way. Ideally, the work should also touch on connections with other areas of mathematics.
There is a general dearth of such works — what one mostly finds are bags of definitions with the entire course laid out for the student to build. At the other end of the bell curve are gigantic reference works like Serge Lang's Algebra, John Lee's Introduction To Smooth Manifolds or David Eisenbud's Commutative Algebra With A View Towards Algebraic Geometry — books which are simply too large to be effectively used except very selectively.
Which brings me to Jürgen Jost, a mathematician and author who seems very sympathetic to the graduate students' plight and has set about writing texts appropriate for such circumstances. Jost is one of the world's eminent applied analysts. He been teaching courses to graduate students at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig for nearly three decades and has a reputation as a first rate teacher. This reputation is well-supported by his half-dozen textbooks and research monographs for advanced students and researchers. The sheer range of topics in modern analysis, geometry and mathematical physics they cover is astounding: Postmodern Analysis, Compact Riemann Surfaces, Calculus of Variations, Nonpositive curvature: Geometric and Analytic Aspects, Partial Differential Equations and several others. He's even begun work on a graduate text on mathematical biology; a preliminary version can be found at Jost's web site.
All of Jost's texts are very much in the old "Göttingen"style — comprehensive, concise without sacrificing any important definitions or theorems, self-contained, and giving the state of the art in each topic. They are quite abstract, but all contain many motivating examples. The goal of these texts is to provide a solid basis for advanced students to begin mathematical research upon mastering the material contained therein. The text under consideration here — Riemannian Geometry And Geometric Analysis, 5th edition — is completely in this spirit and a very worthy addition indeed to Jost's textbook oeuvre.
With the possible exception of complex analysis, differential topology and geometry may be the subjects for which there is the greatest choice of quality graduate texts. It is, after all, one of mathematics' most inviting subjects: it requires minimal prerequisites, it is inherently visual due to the Whitney Theorem and, best of all, it is one of the most applicable of mathematical disciplines. Indeed, one can make a very good case that most mathematical models in both classical and modern physics ultimately rest on the analysis of a differentiable manifold.
Most texts written since the 1960s they tend to emphasize the topological and geometric aspects of the subject by using coordinate-free methods, downplaying local coordinates and the fearsome "debauch of indices" common in earlier texts. The study of differential manifolds has, however, moved in a considerably different direction since the writing of Spivak's and Milnor's classics. Analysis has come to the fore. Hamilton's Ricci flow and variational analysis on semi-Riemannian manifolds have solved deep problems in both geometry and physics, culminating in Perleman's proof of Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture and consequently of the Poincaré Conjecture.
Many of these results have been the product of the rapid expansion of geometric analysis, which can be roughly described as the study of partial differential equations and systems of ordinary differential equations on manifolds and submanifolds of the same dimension as the solution spaces. The solution of such equations, particularly in equations of elliptic type such as the Euler-Tricomi equation, yields geometric information on the structure of the manifold. Conversely, aspects of the topology of the manifold yield analytic data on the PDEs. Since geometric analysis by its very nature requires differential equations expressed in local coordinates and the analytic tools needed to solve them, coordinate free concepts are of very limited use. Therefore, most of the standard introductory texts have avoided the subject altogether. The upshot of all this is that graduate students that study differential manifolds in the conventional manner will be very ill equipped to study the current literature.
Jost's book attempts to remedy this by presenting an integrated treatment of both basic Riemannian geometry and geometric analysis in a single course. This not only makes the presentation more contemporary than most texts, but also covers more topics closer to the frontiers of research. The book is heavily computational; just about everything is expressed primarily in local coordinate tensor notation. This is differential geometry seen through the perspective of an analyst. So, in a sense, Jost has written a very modern book in an old fashioned manner. One would think this would result in a text that is nearly unreadable. His great triumph here is he succeeds in crafting a book that is anything but. He uses an absolute minimum of expository prose to produce the absolute maximal clarity. This results in one hell of a book, especially for serious graduate students.
Chapter 1 gives — in 89 pages — a remarkable short course in differential manifolds and Lie algebras. Jost's own words best describe what he has accomplished in the first chapter:
In the first chapter, we introduce the basic geometric concepts, like differentiable manifolds, tangent spaces, vector bundles, vector fields and one-parameter groups of diffeomorphisms, Lie algebras and groups and in particular Riemannian metrics. We also treat the existence of geodesics with two different methods, both of which are quite important in geometric analysis in general. Thus, the reader has the opportunity to understand the basic ideas of those methods in an elementary context before moving on to more difficult versions in subsequent chapters.
In this first chapter, Jost frequently uses concepts from algebra to build smooth structures on manifolds. This is a very natural thing to do, but it requires instantaneous grasp of the notions of linear spaces and their isomorphisms. (In German universities, undergraduates are expected to develop expertise in abstract algebra early. This is a lesson we can certainly take to heart for our students.) He uses the concept of local coordinates to explain the Einstein summation convention. It is the clearest statement I've ever seen. Physics majors struggling to understand this convention can do a lot worse then read this chapter. The inner product property of the Riemannian metric is emphasized; this is in keeping with the analytic flavor of the text and makes a lot of the concepts later easier to digest. The chapter concludes with a wonderful introduction to the Lie group Spin(V).
The second chapter introduces de Rham cohomology and related essential tools from elliptic PDEs. He proves the existence of harmonic forms, a point not often emphasized. The presentation of each concept leads to later ones as the discourse deepens. Restricting the elements of the cohomology classes to linear maps only allows the reader to understand some critical ideas of their general study, such as the Hodge lemma and the de Rham cohomology group on Sobolev spaces, without the technical difficulties of nonlinear problems a fully general presentation entails. Despite the fact that Jost is careful to define the de Rham cohomology and its relevant machinery in a completely self-contained manner, I get the distinct impression he expects the student to have at least a passing acquaintance with cohomology. He provides a separate appendix on basic topology — underscoring how adamant Jost is about making the book self contained.
The third chapter treats the general theory of linear connections and curvature. About half of this chapter is standard: parallel transport, covariant derivatives, the Bianchi identity, the Levi-Civita connection and flat connections. The remaining material is extremely nonstandard and will be of immense benefit to both analysis and physics students: an introductory discussion of the Yang-Mills operator using characteristic classes, as well as discussions of the Bochner method for harmonic forms of nonnegative Ricci curvature, connections on Spin(V), and the Dirac operator.
In the fourth chapter, he gives a fairly complete development of the theory of Jacobi fields and the related machinery. This includes conjugate points, distance minimizing geodesics, and, most importantly, a discussion of Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature. This sets the stage for proving the Rauch comparison theorems for Jacobi fields, applying these to deriving the usual Jacobi estimate inequalities. The chapter concludes with a development of the global geometry of spaces of nonpositive curvature and a proof of Reshetnyak's quadrilateral comparison theorem.
In between Chapters 4 and 5 is a very significant "intermission" which states many results of global differential geometry used in the last three chapters and which form the basis of many of the "standard" texts on Riemannian geometry like do Carmo or Petersen. Many of these results are stated without proof. Among these are the global Gauss-Bonnet theorem and the convergence theorem. However, there is also a brief introduction to the current literature on Ricci flow and related analytic results such as the Finiteness Theorem. Therefore, the entire current structure of Riemannian geometry is summarized in this chapter, with complete references. There is probably no such summary anywhere else in the textbook literature. Frankly, if this was the only chapter the book contained, it would still be worth having.
With these results in hand, Chapter 5 gives a very compete and up to date treatment of the complex projective space; constructing Kahler manifolds and symmetric spaces as important examples of Riemannian manifolds Their geometry and associated Lie algebras are constructed in full detail, first in the compact case and then in the noncompact case. The noncompact case is developed in full as an example of a class of nonpositively curved Riemannian manifolds. I know of no other general textbook that does this except for Daniel Huybrucht's Complex Geometry: An Introduction (2004).
Chapter 6 is about one of geometers' favorite subjects: Morse theory. The usual topics are discussed with more than usual clarity: saddle points on manifolds, nondegeneracy of critical points, the Morse Lemma, stable and unstable manifolds, foliations and more. There are also more modern topics discussed such as graph flows and general orientations for manifolds at local extrema. This chapter also breaks strikingly with the rest of the book: it's the only chapter with many pictures. That's only natural — Morse theory and the Floer homology are such beautifully visual topics that a purely formal treatment would lose a lot of their full significance. It is also the first place in the book where infinite dimensional manifolds are briefly mentioned and defined. The main differences between them and the finite dimensional case are discussed in preparation for the Palais-Smale compactness condition and proving the existence of closed geodesics. This sticks to Jost's overall philosophy:"If we don't need it, we don't mention it."
Chapter 7 discusses the behavior of harmonic maps on general Riemannian manifolds by means of the energy density of local coordinates at a point on such manifolds. This is a mainstream topic of geometric analysis; one of its main tools the Hamilton flow. This includes the higher regularity estimates and the generalized Bochner technique as well as the behavior of such maps on manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature. Chapter 8 extends these results to multivariable harmonic maps defined on Riemann surfaces. The book closes in a blaze of glory with a chapter on variational problems in quantum field theory. The machinery developed in the last four chapters is brought to bear on three of the most important functionals in string theory: The Ginzburg-Landau functional, the Seiberg-Witten functional and the class of Dirac-harmonic maps. These are developed as purely mathematical objects, but Jost is careful to point out differences in notation and the close relationship to physical models such as the nonlinear super-symmetric sigma model.
The amount of material Jost succeeds in covering in 589 pages is positively astonishing, and he manages to do it completely coherently. Obviously this results in a book which is incredibly dense. The book is broken into bite-sized pieces, which helps a lot. Even so, the pace of the book can only be described as relentless. What's incredible is that despite that and the level of difficulty, Jost never ceases to hold the reader's interest and remains lively and fascinating.
Each chapter builds on the ones before it, so that the chapters are never separate entities. One of the ways Jost does this is with wonderful sections at the end of every chapter subsection, called "Perspectives". These broaden the vision of the text even further with brief digressions into the history and current state of the central topic as well as exhaustive references for further study. As a result, the book actually ends up covering a lot more then it seems to, making it that much more impressive.
One part of the book that will appeal most to readers is that Jost gives lots of examples for every concept. Early in the book, these are given separately in batches of a dozen or so. As the concepts become more sophisticated, as in the variational analysis chapters, theorems are proven first in a special case and then if possible, generalized. This really helps with difficult concepts. Otherwise, the book's merciless pacing would just obscure everything.
I have just two minor complaints and a concern. First my usual complaint with books on geometry at this level: there aren't enough pictures. The only place where pictures are plentiful is in the chapter on Morse theory. One of my friends says that it's better for graduate students to draw their own pictures. He is probably right; even so, Jost should have put a few more pictures in the book, particularly in the early chapters when most of the examples are easily visualizable. My other complaint is that there are not enough exercises. This seems to be a general problem with European textbooks.This may be inherited from the old days when the exercise sets to European texts usually came in a separate booklet, as in Courant's original calculus lectures.
This is where my concern comes in. Despite my wholehearted endorsement of the text and the great effort Jost has put into making it self-contained, the book's sheer density and level of difficulty would make me hesitate to use it all by itself. Can the book be used by itself for a graduate differential geometry course? Certainly. With a good teacher, any graduate student can use it to learn a lot of modern geometry very quickly. The problem is that the book has a very clear agenda and it has to focus totally on this agenda. As a result, a lot of very important topics are omitted or are stated without proof in the "intermission." This really makes the book nearly impossible to use for self study by itself for any but the very best students at the very best schools. But since Jost is so diligent about making his students familiar with the literature, choosing supplementary material will not be difficult at all.
These are really minor issues. Jost has produced another jewel in a crown of wonderful graduate level texts. An outstanding year-long course in differential geometry at the graduate level can be built on it. Here's how I would do it: The first semester could begin with Jost's first two chapters combined with Loring Tu's An Introduction to Manifolds, which would give students a complete and very up-to-date course in differentiable manifolds. The second semester would then cover chapters three to eight in combination with some of the recommended papers in the "Perspectives" sections and Peter Petersen's Riemannian Geometry. This would make a very strong course in Riemannian geometry and geometric analysis. All these books are relatively short and between them, they cover just about everything any graduate student could want or expect to learn about modern differential geometry. I certainly plan to spend a great deal of time going through Jost's book slowly in the very near future.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Appearance Sluggy the Unshaven looks very similar to the small sluggy that he originates from. The main differences emerging due to the transformation are his transparency and the prominent heart that becomes visible thanks to the transparency. Battle Strategy Sluggy the Unshaven behaves much like a normal sluggy. He inches slowly toward Yoshi in order to make contact. Unlike a normal sluggy, however, Sluggy the Unshaven cannot hurt Yoshi simply by touching him. Instead, the threat he poses comes from the ledge that he slowly pushes Yoshi toward. To stop him, Yoshi must throw eggs toward his heart. His body gradually gives way until the heart is reached and damage is taken. As Sluggy the Unshaven takes more damage, his heart beats faster and he moves forward at a faster rate, adding to the threat he poses. Eventually, his heart takes enough damage to cause it to dwindle and vanish. Soon after, Sluggy the Unshaven's body slips downward off of the screen.

Brick Doesn't Break Shop Owner's Creativity
By editor
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And if life gives you broken glass, make money. A vandal threw a brick through the window of a Pittsburgh printing shop. The owner, undismayed, offered the brick for auction to raise money to fix the window. Sympathetic friends threw in prizes to go with the brick, like tickets to a hockey game. The winning bid was $1,150, enough to fix the window and make a donation to charity.

Tony Tyler's address to the 1000 delegates from industry and media who gathered in Miami 7-9 June for IATA's 71st AGM
Press Release No.:
Date: 26 January 2004
The European Union has now completed the revision of the rules that define assistance to airline passengers in the event of denied boarding, delays and cancellations. According to IATA, the legislation misses its mark. "The spirit is more punitive than compensatory, and it will actually have a negative impact on consumer-friendly fares and global interline tickets," comments Giovanni Bisignani, IATA Director General and CEO.
"As it stands, the new rules will not necessarily provide efficient consumer protection and are potentially very damaging to the industry. Our industry is fully committed to assist and compensate its passengers, but these rules are exceedingly complex to implement, impractical and likely to cause confusion."
The vast scope of the regulation addresses both denied boarding situations where a few passengers are involved, as well as cancellations and delays where all passengers on a flight must be assisted. This completely changes the context, and the provisions of the regulation are likely to lead to conflicts at airports, posing problems between passengers, airline and airport staff.
The new rules fix financial compensation amounts that bear no relation to the ticket price. "This costly measure will inevitably force up fares and choke the reduced fare market, which is not in the consumer's interest," says Bisignani.
Another far-reaching stipulation requires the carrier to offer a choice of compensation options, including a return flight to the original point of departure. This effectively means that on a multiple-coupon ticket, a carrier experiencing a delay on one portion of the trip could be held responsible for the entire ticket. If airlines stop interlining to avoid this costly risk, the traveler will face repeated check-in, and baggage claim procedures at each stop and higher fares.
Bisignani concludes, "This legislation is not only impractical for the industry, but also particularly detrimental to the consumer's interest. We do not see any comparable restrictions being placed on other modes of transportation. Certain articles need to be revised if we are to ensure the passenger's best interest."

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy tell students to turn around, invest in others
Parents of Baltimore Ravens standout Michael Oher presented Celebration of Diversity lecture
EVANSVILLE - Describing the first time they met their adoptive son — Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle and college football standout Michael Oher — Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy said the scene was much like the movie that encapsulated it, "The Blind Side."
There were some small details from that were wrong, Sean Tuohy said. It was daylight, not night, and it was the day before Thanksgiving when they saw Oher, who was a homeless high school student, walking toward his school wearing shorts and a T-shirt in freezing weather.
"I'd have drove right past him," Sean Tuohy said to a small group of students from Bosse High School and local universities. "And she said two words ... she said, 'Turn around.'"
That simple message, "Turn around," is what the Tuohy's tell people every day, they said.
"You pass people everyday, and until you've asked, until you invest, until you give care, until you give time, you don't know what's happening in that person's life. You don't," said Sean Tuohy.
The Tuohys spoke to the small group of students before a larger audience at the semiannual Evansville Celebration of Diversity Distinguished Lecture Series Tuesday night. Previous speakers have included former Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy and soul singer John Legend.
People could make a difference by turning around and asking how a person's doing, he said. "If she hadn't told me to turn around, who knows what would've happened," he said. Eventually, Oher moved in with the Tuohy's, and they adopted him.
During the student reception, Ashley Leroy, a University of Evansville student majoring in communications, asked the two how their life had been affected since the publicity.
Leigh Anne Tuohy believes it has been God-driven and that the movie's message of racial and socioeconomic acceptance still reaches audiences five years later.
"It's crazy how God continues to use this message," she said.
Eric Humphrey, a University of Evansville student double majoring in history and communications with minors in sports management and sociology, said he's been confined to a wheelchair most of his life.
He asked the Tuohy's what Oher's or their advice would be for someone who had to overcome obstacles.
"He'd say, "You never give up, regardless of what your situation is. You grind it out,'" Leigh Anne Tuohy said.
Humphrey said Oher overcame adversity and is an inspiration.
"Seeing Michael overcome his obstacles, which are realistically different from mine, show that I can go out and accomplish my dreams as well inspire the next group of kids to continue regardless of your situation in life," he said.

SARASOTA, Fla. – The Orioles signed Johan Santana to a minor league contract on Tuesday. The incentive-laden contract includes an invitation to spring training.
Santana will work out with the team on Wednesday morning and speak with the media informally after that.
He is 139-78 with a 3.20 ERA in an 11-year major league career with Minnesota and the New York Mets, but hasn't pitched in the major leagues since 2012.
Santana had his second shoulder surgery last year. The Orioles were one of a number of teams that watched him throw in Fort Myers, Fla. last week.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner is a four-time All-Star, and he threw a no-hitter in 2012.
There had been some speculation that Santana would be sent to Twin Lakes for rehab, but he'll work with Chris Correnti, one of the team's trainers, with whom he worked with in New York.
He will wear No. 57 as he has worn throughout his career. Outfielder Francisco Peguero will have to change his number.

Aubergine flowers are either white or purple and have at their centre a bottle-shaped cone of stamens where pollen is held.
Aubergines have large felty leaves that are densely covered with tiny star-shaped (stellate) hairs. These hairs often have a purplish tinge, especially when the plants are grown in strong sunlight.
The wild relatives and most local varieties of aubergines have prominent stem prickles (also sometimes called spines, but technically they are like rose thorns and can be broken off and so are called prickles), but through selection by humans many of the cultivated varieties lack these prickles. This makes sense, as harvesting the fruits from a very prickly is not much fun. You can sometimes still feel the prickles on the calyx at the base of an aubergine fruit.
The name by which the aubergine is known in the United States is eggplant, thought to come from old white fruited varieties where the fruit is egg-shaped. Plant breeders select different fruit shapes and colours and cross the plants to create the many cultivated types we grow in our gardens.
