Abstract: V43.00003 : Explicitly Correlated Wavefunctions for Few-Body Problems
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Frank E. Harris
(Quantum Theory Project, U. of Florida and Dept. of Physics, U. of Utah)
Explicitly correlated wavefunctions enable far more compact, yet accurate descriptions of few-body systems than are possible using basis functions built from orbital products. The most efficient functions of this type contain all the interparticle distances as exponentials. Progress in evaluating the matrix elements for such a basis is reviewed for three and four-body systems, with particular attention to the difficult analytical problems posed by the four-body system and the challenges associated with highly singular integrals in the three-body system (which arise in the computation of relativistic effects). An alternative basis is provided by Gaussians in all the interparticle distances; recent contributions toward systematizing the use of such functions are also reported. Application of the exponential basis to the He isoelectronic series is described; the results differ from those reported by others in that their quality does not decrease with increasing nuclear charge $Z$. This feature permits an improved characterization of the coefficients in the $1/Z$ expansion. Also disscused is the cancellation of divergences in the combinations of individually divergent integrals arising in the treatment of relativistic effects in the He system.

Boy was I excited to find this group! ĀI was feeling so alone and to see so many post and members, I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
I was recently diagnosed with 2 SCH 1/1/12 at 9 weeks. ĀOne is 1x1.5 and the other is 1x2. ĀI was diagnosed when I felt a large gush of bright red blood and rushed to the ER. ĀHB was good at 170, and baby was flopping away! ĀPrior to this, I had been spotting (dark brown blood) since a little over 5 weeks without explanation. I had gone to the ER at 7 weeks and ultrasound did not show SCH. I also had 2 prior ultrasounds due to my history. I had a recent miscarriage in Sept followed by 2 D&C's 9/8/11 and 9/16/11.Ā
I am scared to death because I just lost a baby and do not have it in me to lose another. ĀRight before I started to bleed red, I had period like cramps, and the night before, severe abdominal pain. ĀI convinced myself to go back to sleep as I knew there was nothing they could do, then the next day the bright red blood came. ĀWell here I am a week after, and the sharp pains are back, not so severe like labor (experienced that through natural birth of my son, as well as my recent miscarriage), but almost like a stitch in my sides. ĀIt is accompanied by Āconstant back pain. ĀThe bleeding is still old blood, and the ER dr explained that as the clots move around the uterus, the constant pressing may cause pain. ĀI am just wondering if anyone else is having a good bit of pain with their SCH, it seems many are having bleeding, and the two paired together worry me even more!

This recipe felt like summer had arrived early! Fresh basil and cherry tomatoes are a match made in heaven. I was looking around the internet for some inspiration and found a version of this salad but it was more of a main course so I've adapted it quite a bit to make it my own, changing a couple of the ingredients too and turned it into a yummy side dish. The herby dressing with capers was incredibly flavoursome and when combined with the warm vegetables and tomatoes, it was divine. This salad will definitely be making another appearance at our house soon.
Warm Potato & Bean Salad
200g small potatoes
200g green beans, trimmed
4 tblspns olive oil
1 tblspn red wine vinegar
25g baby capers, washed and chopped
handful of fresh basil, chopped
150g cherry tomatoes, halved
salt & pepper
Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, add some salt and then bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until tender but not falling apart. Drain and cut in half.
Now cook the beans as you prefer, either steam or boiled in salted water. Set aside.
Mix together the olive oil, vinegar, capers and basil in a large bowl. Add the warm potatoes and beans as well as the tomatoes then season with salt and pepper. Serves 2-3 as a side dish.

The Young Farm development site in Boones Creek is being analyzed by a retail expert to help form a marketing plan. (Johnson City Press file photo)
An industry expert will look at the site of a planned 100-acre commercial and retail development in Boones Creek to determine the types and sizes of stores that could someday move there.
Jeff Green, a retail real estate feasibility analyst and president of his namesake firm, told the Washington County Economic Development Council board of directors Thursday that he will consider multiple factors in helping to write the recommendation the board has asked of him for the tract of land off Interstate 26's Boones Creek Exit 17, known as the Young Farm.
Green said he plans to collect data on the area's population, demographics, residential growth, daytime population, retail expenditures and psychographics, a measure of interests and lifestyles.
He said the end result will help the developers and the local municipalities to build a well-informed strategy regarding the most lucrative type of shopping center and to identify the businesses that are lacking in the Tri-Cities.
"What I'm doing isn't just a feasibility tool, but I take it to the next level, and basically, it can be used for leasing," Green said. "What you want to do locally is to be able to work with any potential developer, any potential leasing person, and actually have a strategy of who you're going after with them, rather than them telling you exactly who they're going after."
In a preliminary study of the area, the analyst said he believes Johnson City is missing an entertainment focus, businesses that he broadly defined as theaters and upscale bowling alleys to restaurants.
In February, the Development Council and the Johnson City Development Authority created a tax increment financing, or TIF, district at the site to help spur investment there.
A TIF district plan earmarks designated land for development, and allows municipalities to help pay for improvements based on the expected growth in tax collections after the development begins generating revenue.
By designating the TIF district and commissioning the feasibility study, local leaders hope to cash in on the potentially lucrative site near the Interstate and in an area surrounded by wealthy residential neighborhoods.
The Economic Development Council is partnered with Johnson City-based Mountcastle Corp. to help market the Boones Creek site, and has an option on the property for the next three years.
According to the company's website, Mountcastle has developed properties in six states, most of them supermarket shopping centers.
Green estimated he should be finished with the analysis in about 45 days, at which time he will present his findings to the council.Related story:

I worked on embroidering the second mitt last night.
Except I botched the spacing between the rows. Now I have to decide which will annoy me more: not having the same number of stripes as the other mitt, or having a far left stripe that's crowded. Hard to say.
Today I took Cinnamon in for her shots, and to have the vet check her ears. (She's been fussing with them.) She was furious with me while we waited at the vet's office.
But once that was over, she doesn't seem to mind riding around in the car. She likes to look out the window, and dozes at traffic lights.
A big difference from most cats, who wail pitifully while in the car. (Who can blame them? Cars are scary.)

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Adrienne Maloof's Chef Bernie Guzman Calls Lisa Vanderpump the Wicked Witch of the West!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars may know a thing or two about being back-stabbed, but Adrienne Maloof's personal chef, Bernie Guzman, holds all the knives this season. Yes, he's the eyes and ears of all the Beverly Hills activity.
Bernie's personal Facebook page credits him as a "private chef to the stars." And guess what? The guy who lists Madonna and Joan Crawford as inspiration loves to dish a lot more than just food. Here are his juiciest Facebook posts:
"JACKPOT 55 - GIGGY 45...OUT WITH THE OLD...AND HER DOG..........(SORRY, I was possessed by the WICKED WITCH of the WEST)"
"This is BEVERLY HILLS,Its all about GRILLED CHICKEN & Being styled by LAWRENCE ZARIAN...(he's the best)"
"ALL SEASON, I NEVER GOT A hello or a thank you from DANA..BRANDI ,kim,kyle,camille were always nice and thanked everyone."
"OY VEY, Lisa Vandepump said " the help " should be seen & not heard.I think its time to walk across the street with a " CHOCOLATE PIE."
Better watch out, Bernie. You don't mess with the Housewives!

The "Battle at Bristol" college football game between Tennessee and Virginia Tech is nearly three years away.
The whining has already begun.
As soon as the news leaked last Wednesday, fans of other schools took to the internet to lampoon the idea and talk about how those supporting the Vols and Hokies would be wasting their money to see a college football game at a NASCAR track.
They commented how the players would be so far away, it would be like watching dots on the field. Many of them admitted to never being anywhere near Bristol Motor Speedway.
They have no idea the emphasis track owner Bruton Smith places on the fan experience. Speaking after Monday's press conference, Speedway Motorsports chief operating officer Marcus Smith promised the venue will be well suited for the event.
"We will have all the big screens you need and there will be fantastic seating," Smith said. "While it's much larger than the biggest football stadium, it's not too big. We have excellent seating angles. One thing we're passionate about with our company when we build our speedways is perfect sightlines for our fans. Even the fans at the top of the grandstands will have excellent viewing."
The Michigan fans had to point out how they would still hold the "true" record for attendance since their 115,109 on Sept. 7 watched the Wolverines beat Notre Dame at an actual football stadium.
The Alabama fans, yes, those supporters of the big, bad Crimson Tide who have won the past two national championships, made fun of rival Tennessee resorting to a "gimmick" to set an attendance record. One said, 'The Vols can't sell out 105,000 seats at Neyland Stadium. How can they hope to fill 150,000 at Bristol?'
Other fans from other regions of the country simply took the low road, making the derogatory references to the South, how rednecks love their college football and stock car racing.
Some of the more high-brow SEC football fans responded with how they hate NASCAR.
Who cares?
I'm not a fan of hockey, but it's easy to understand how those who grew up in places like New England, Detroit and Minnesota would have such great affection for the sport.
For that matter, I liked the novelty of the NHL Winter Classic and appreciated the fact the league was doing something out of the box to attract new fans. Coincidentally, Michigan fans seem awfully proud of their school's attempt to break the all-time hockey attendance record, playing on the football field at Michigan Stadium.
Over the past few years, we've seen basketball games on aircraft carriers and football games at legendary baseball parks with varying degrees of success.
Accuse me of viewing the "Battle at Bristol" through rose-colored glasses or in this case, orange or maroon-tinted glasses, but I think the Vols-Hokies game is a great thing for college football and for Bristol Motor Speedway.
It has been pointed out how it's not the first football game held at BMS, that the defending NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Redskins in a 1961 preseason game in front of an estimated 8,500 fans.
It's certainly not the first time football and auto racing have shared the same venue.
Soldier Field, home of the NFL's Chicago Bears, hosted auto races from 1935-68, with NASCAR great Fred Lorenzen the track champion in 1956.
Fireball Roberts won the track's lone Cup Series race that same year and another racing legend, Curtis Turner, won a race there in the old NASCAR Convertible Series.
The famed Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, N.C., is called NASCAR's longest-running weekly race track. It doubled as the home of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons from 1956-67, and still serves as the home field for the NCAA Division II Winston Salem State Rams.
To the critics of the Bristol game, some of it is pure jealously of their programs not being involved in an historic event.
Make no mistake, the recruiting benefits are enormous.
As great a program as Alabama is, with a record nine Associated Press national championships, Nick Saban can't truthfully guarantee any single recruit he will play for a title during his time in Tuscaloosa.
On the other hand, Tennessee's Butch Jones or Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer can go into any living room in the country, play the video from Monday's press conference and show recruits over the next three seasons how they have the opportunity to play in front of the largest crowd in history, in a game promoted as "The Biggest College Football Game Ever."
That doesn't sit well for many around the country, enough for them to whine about it three years in advance.
One of the nation's premier amateur motcross events, the 26th annual Suzuki Top Gun Showdown, is scheduled for Muddy Creek Raceway this weekend.
A total of 42 class champions will be crowned at the end of the races on Sunday with a $1,000 bonus to be paid to the winner of the Pro 450 division.
Gates open at 6 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday with racing to start at 9 a.m.
The season finale for Kingsport Speedway is set for this Saturday night.
The "Friends of Coal 125" is an invitational race for Late Model Stock drivers who haven't won a NASCAR-sanctioned race over the past five years.
Drivers from multiple tracks around the region are scheduled to compete with the winner to take home a grandfather clock as well as a $2,000 purse.
The Pure 4 and Legends divisions will also be in action.Qualifying starts at 5:15 with racing to begin at 7 p.m.
Jason Welshan of Maryville passed Mark Martin of Baxter on lap 26 to win this past Saturday's Steel Head Late Model "Clash at the Gap" at Volunteer Speedway.
After contact between the two, Welshan pulled away over the rest of the 50-lap race. Martin fell to fourth behind Trevor Sise and Cory Hedgecock. The running order stayed that way to the end, with Josh Collins rounding out the top five.
Gary Blanken of Russellville won the Modified Hobby race, holding off Warren McMahan of Dandridge at the end.

COLUMBIA - South Carolina has picked the right time to play its best basketball of the season.
After winning just twice in the first seven games, the Gamecocks (6-6) won for the fourth time in the last five with a 92-65 victory over Marshall on Monday night.
Before South Carolina left for the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii over the Christmas break, the Gamecocks lost at home to Manhattan and USC Upstate by a combined 24 points.
They earned a third-place finish in Hawaii and have won three straight games by double-digits.
South Carolina coach Frank Martin pointed to a stretch just before halftime in which the Gamecocks turned a one-point deficit into a 36-31 lead despite the fact four starters were on the bench with two fouls each. He said two weeks ago his team would not be able to withstand that type of pressure.
"I was worried about this matchup because they're extremely athletic and they attack you," Martin said. "I was worried about getting into foul trouble, and as the game played out, that is what happened. Credit the guys that were there at the end of the first half. They took the lead and we didn't wilt. Earlier in the year, we wilted. They stayed the course, we made some plays and we took a lead into the locker room."
Marshall (5-8) lost for the sixth time in the last seven games. Shawn Smith led Marshall with a career-high 19 points and Ryan Taylor added 18 but the lack of defensive effort in the second half was too much to overcome.
"We didn't have many stops period," Marshall coach Tom Herrion said. "Our defense wasn't very good in the second half. I thought we bothered them a little bit in the first half and got the ball out in transition but they run their stuff and we didn't do a good enough job guarding it."
Because of the early foul trouble, the Gamecocks were fresh in the second half and that proved to be pivotal. Ty Johnson and Brenton Williams each scored 18 points to lead a balance attack.
The Gamecocks built on the five-point halftime lead and took firm control with a 14-1 run. Duane Notice ignited it with a 3-pointer and he scored seven points and added two assists to give South Carolina a 61-41 lead with a little over 12 minutes remaining. The lead would not be less than 17 points the rest of the way.
During an eight-minute stretch, the Gamecocks scored on nine straight possessions and 14 of 16 as they increased the lead from 45-38 to 74-54 with 7:28 remaining.
"Our defense set the tone," Williams said. "We were able to get stops and that allowed us to get out and run and set things up on the offensive end."
Marshall's leading scorer, Kareem Canty was held to 11 points on 2-of-15 shooting. He also had 11 of the Herd's 16 turnovers. The perimeter defense was key.
"The guys off the ball aren't allowing the ball to get into guys comfort zones," Martin said. "That's as good off the ball defense that I've seen from us."
Notice scored 13 points and Demetrius Henry added 12 for the Gamecocks (6-6). Williams broke the South Carolina record for consecutive free throws when he completed a three-point play with 9:15 remaining. The senior has made 42 straight free throws dating to last season. He broke the record of 41 previously held by John Roche.

In 1982, I worked as the director of a small county museum. After its grand opening, the board decided to admit everyone free of charge for the first week or so. We wanted to be the "people's museum" though the phrase had not yet been coined.
It was late April or early May and very warm, so I propped the front door open in the hope some fresh air would make its way into my office.
Lots of familiar faces turned up during the free admission period, and I was happy to see them, point out interesting objects, tell them what they would find on the second and third floors. One late afternoon, I was busy at my desk when I heard footsteps in the hall. I went out to make our visitor welcome.
It was a young man in cut-off blue jeans. He was either wearing his shirt unbuttoned or no shirt at all. I'm not altogether sure he had on shoes. Somehow I got close enough to notice he had "Love" and "Hate" tattooed across his knuckles.
I was uneasy, but he was just the kind of guy we wanted to see in the museum so he could broaden his horizons, perhaps pique his interest in local history and help him to become the well-rounded citizen our county deserved. Our museum was for everyone, and I bid him welcome and told him he was free to browse around.
As soon as he was out of sight, though, I called my friend, Teresa.
"I'm a little scared," I said. "Stay on the phone with me." Then I explained what was going on.
"What am I supposed to do if he attacks you?" she asked. "My phone will be tied up and I won't be able to call the police." This was, of course, before households had multiple phone lines.
"I just want him to know I'm in contact with the outside world so he won't get any ideas," I replied.
It had not occurred to me until then how isolated I was in an old building in the middle of a college campus.
Teresa sighed and began telling me about her day. A few minutes later, the young man returned to stand at my office door. I noticed his posture was odd, but I didn't have on my glasses. At a distance it was hard to make out details, but there for all to see was the last thing in the world I wanted to see.
"Teresa," I said. "I think he's exposing himself."
"Hang up the phone and call the police," she said. "Do it right now."
"I can't. I'm not absolutely sure. I don't have on my glasses, and I'm not about to put them on now."
While Teresa and I were arguing over what I should do, he eased out the door and left. I called the police.
They asked me to come down to the station to look at mug shots. I had no trouble picking him out; his description included the jail house tattoos. Turns out he was no more than a kid, about 19, who had just gotten out of jail. "He's trouble," the policeman said with a chuckle. I think he got a kick out of my predicament.
It wasn't clear whether they were going to do anything about it, even though he had stolen purses out of campus offices.
Later, I realized he'd made off with a few small but precious relics from the museum, too. I never saw the young man again. Perhaps the police have their own version of catch and release — with a warning to stay out of the county.
When the board heard what happened (that was excruciatingly embarrassing) they reacted swiftly, making sure I had a top-of-the-line handheld device that would trigger a mighty alarm should I ever be in trouble again.
After all these years, my reaction still bothers me, and I offer this story as a how-not-to.
Basically I was too timid to act in my own self defense. Not so now. Politeness gave way to self-preservation a long time ago.

Move over, Twitter. Kindle, take note. The Irish have a new postage stamp.
It features a short story: 224 words (as compared to Twitter's mere 164 characters).
And it's available for 60 cents (chicken feed compared to an eBook reader).
In 2010, Dublin was designated a UNESCO City of Literature. The country's newest stamp celebrates that honor.
The bright yellow rectangle holds an entire story written by Eoin Moore, a Dublin teen.
His prose, about Dublin and its people, is winning praise from the Irish — at least those who see the stamp before it is canceled in ink. And we suspect those who make or sell specs will be even more enthusiastic about the wee read.
Just imagine: a mere postage stamp inspiring interest in literature — and helping fuel an economy.
That's no blarney.

"Very happy with this purchase, it did exactly what was expected and at great value. I choose the low cost delivery option and this came in on time. Great Value. High quality, low price!"
How to Reset a Wii Remote
The Nintendo Wii video game console uses Wii wireless controllers equipped with motion and speed sensors that allow the user control through movement. By synchronizing the sensors inside the primary controller, or Wii Remote, with the Sensor Bar plugged into the Wii console, the movements of the Wii Remote are tracked and reflected on your television. If the movement of the Wii Remote does not closely match the movement of the cursor on your television, you may need to reset the Wii Remote controller.
Seven steps help you to reset the Wii controller:
Step 1
Press the "Power" button on the front of the Wii to turn the console off. The "Power" button is at the top of the console and above the "Reset" button.
Step 2
Unplug the Wii's power cord from the electrical outlet. Wait 10 to 20 seconds and then plug the Wii's power cord back into the electrical outlet.
Step 3
Locate the long, rectangular compartment on the front of the Wii console. The compartment is below the "Reset" button. Lift the cover of the compartment and find the red "Sync" button.
Step 4
Press and hold the "Sync" button for 15 seconds as soon as the Wii's "Health and Safety" screen appears on your television.
Step 5
Remove the battery cover from the back of the Wii Remote you want to reset and locate the small red button on the right-hand side just below the batteries.
Step 6
Press the small red button once. The blue lights on your Wii's sensor bar will start to blink.
Step 7
Quickly press and release the red "Sync" button in the compartment on the front of your Wii console. The blue lights on the sensor bar will stop blinking and will remain blue once the reset is complete.

Testing Center
DeVry utilizes computer placement tests (CPTs) to identify students' strengths and areas where improvement is needed, so that an appropriate course schedule can be developed. These tests generate information about skills in reading, writing, arithmetic, and elementary algebra. Tests are administered on a computer, though no previous experience with computers is necessary. After finishing the tests, students meet with an advisor to discuss the results.
The number of questions on each test ranges from 12 to 20. Questions appear one at a time on the computer screen and are multiple-choice. All you need to do is use the mouse to select the desired answer. When you've completed the question and verified your answer, a new screeen will appear with your next question.
Each ACCUPLACERTM test is designed using adaptive techniques. This means the computer automatically determines which questions are presented to you based on your responses to prior questions. The technique zeroes-in on just the right questions to ask you.
Each test is untimed, so you can give each question as much thought as you wish. However, once you've verified your answer, you cannot return to that question.
Sample Questions
Reading Comprehension
This test is designed to measure how well you understand what you read. It contains 20 questions. Some are of the sentence relationship type, in which you must choose how sentences are related. Others refer to reading passages of varying length.
[Sample Reading Comprehension Questions]
Essay Test
ACCUPLACERTM includes a writing test called WritePlacer. For this test you'll be given a topic and asked to write an essay about it. The test has been designed so that you will probably have enough time to plan, write, review, and revise your essay. It will be scored on the overall quality of your writing.
[Example Essay Test]
The Arithmetic Test measures your skills in three primary categories. The first is operations with whole numbers and fractions. This includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and recognizing equivalent fractions and mixed numbers. The second category involves operations with decimals and percents. It includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as percent problems, decimal recognition, fraction and percent equivalences, and estimation problems. The last category tests applications and problem-solving. Questions pertain to rate, percent, measurement, geometry, and distribution of a quantity into fractional parts. A total of 17 questions are asked.
[Sample Arithmetic Questions]
Elementary Algebra
There are also three categories in the Elementary Algebra Test. The first category, operations with integers and rational numbers, computation with integers and negative rationales, use of absolute values, and ordering. The second category is operations with algebraic expressions. It tests your skills in evaluating simple formulas and expressions, and in adding and subtracting monomials and polynomials. Both of these categories include questions about multiplying and dividing monomials and polynomials, evaluating positive rational roots and exponents, simplifying algebraic fractions, and factoring. The third category tests skill in solving equations, inequalities, and word problems. These questions include solving systems of linear equations, quadratic equations by factoring, verbal problems presented in algebraic context, geometric reasoning, translation of written phrases into algebraic expressions, and graphing. Twelve questions are presented.
[Sample Algebra Questions]
Test Tips
Relax! ACCUPLACETM is designed to help you succeed in school. Your score helps you and your advisor determine which courses are most appropriate for your current level of knowledge and skills. Once you identify your academic strengths and needs, you can get the help you need to improve underdeveloped skills before they can interfere with your learning.
You'll be able to concentrate better if you get plenty of rest and eat properly prior to completing the tests. You should also arrive a few minutes early so you can find the testing area, bathrooms, phones, etc., and gather your thoughts before the beginning. (And if you wear glasses, remember to bring them with you!)
Pay careful attention to test directions, and be sure you understand them before you begin each test.
This is an adaptive test. Questions are chosen for you on the basis of your answers to previous questions. Because the test works this way, you must answer every question when it's first given. You cannot omit any question or come back to change an answer. You may change your answer on a particular question, but you must do so before continuing on to the next question. If you don't, the answer is accepted, and you cannot return to the question.
If you don't know the answer to a question, try to eliminate one or more of the choices. Then pick one of the remaining choices.
You're not allowed to use dictionaries, calculators, notebooks, or textbooks of any kind on the tests. Scratch paper for solving math problems will be provided by the test administrator. Any student who gives or receives help during the test, or uses notes or books of any kind, won't be allowed to continue. Following the test period, no test materials or notes may be removed from the room.
Remember your social security number and to bring some form of picture I.D. with you to the testing session.

How much should the news media care that District 5 City Councilmember Carl DeMaio refuses to speak out on Proposition 8?
The voter-approved initiative, which changed the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage, is one of the most fiercely debated political issues in California. Within San Diego's large and politically active gay and lesbian community, it's arguably the issue of our time. Nonetheless, DeMaio has steadfastly refused to speak out for or against the law.
That in itself might not be the stuff of journalistic debate—elected officials can't be expected to take a stance on everything. But DeMaio isn't just any elected official when it comes to Prop 8: He's an openly gay Republican elected official, and that's prompted more than a couple of journalists to ask him where he stands on a law that's as overwhelmingly opposed by gays as it's supported by Republicans. Every time, he's begged off the question.
"The city faces the greatest financial crisis in its history—that is Councilmember DeMaio's focus," replied Erica Mendelson, DeMaio's spokesperson, in an e-mail when CityBeat popped the question.
So far, DeMaio's silence on Prop. 8 has been met by equal silence by the mainstream media. No editorials criticizing the council member's non-stance, no hectoring by reporters at news conferences to try to pin him down on the issue.
Should the media hold DeMaio's feet to the fire for refusing to speak out on Proposition 8? Or should they accept his silence and move on?
"DeMaio certainly has a right to simply keep quiet on it," says Martin Kruming, an instructor of media law at San Diego State University's School of Journalism and Media Studies. "But does he have a responsibility as an elected public official to comment on an issue that affects a great many people? What separates Mr. DeMaio from you and me, I think, is his position on the issues. With regard to the media's role in raising the issue of why DeMaio won't comment, I think that's fair game."
Not surprisingly, Jess Durfee, chairman of the San Diego County Democratic Party, agrees.
"DeMaio can't be gay part of the time," says Durfee, who's openly gay himself. "He's either part of the gay community or he's not, and if he's part of it, this is a paramount issue to the gay community, and he should say he's with us or not. If he's going to sit this one out, he should not be showing up at the [San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community] Center, and he should not be showing up to LGBT events acting like he wants to be embraced by the gay community when he's not ready to lead on an issue that's critical to the community."
Neither officials with the San Diego County Republican Party nor Ron Nehring, chairman of the California Republican Party and former San Diego County resident, responded to calls for comment by press time. But Randy Hope, editor of the San Diego-based Gay & Lesbian Times newspaper, did.
"We at the paper do believe that DeMaio should answer the question," Hope says. "If we took the word 'gay' out of the scenario and replaced with any other ethnic group—if, say, DeMaio were Asian and there was a measure not allowing Asians to marry—we would expect him to be held to the same accountability."

We are delighted to announce that DfID Zambia (the UK's Department for International Development in Zambia) have committed, ahead of other donors, to fund ColaLife's activities in Zambia until the end of Jun-14.
This is fantastic news as it ensures one of our key objectives, that there should be a 'no-gap' transition from the current trial to national scale-up. This is crucially important to us, because mothers and care-givers have come to rely on Kit Yamoyo and it would not be right for the supply of kits to stop just because the trial has ended.
We have approached two more of our existing donors for scale-up support and they make their decisions in Nov-13 just as the trial comes to an end. If they agree to support our plans their funding will run through to 31-Dec-16.
As part of their commitment, DfID Zambia have invited us to bid into a new child nutrition programme which comes on stream early next year. If successful this would provide us with on-going support from DfID from Jul-14 to Dec-16.
This extension of funding also required the support of COMESA/TMSA who act as the 'accountable body' for the DfID funding and provide us with office facilities in Lusaka.
We are very grateful to DfID, the UK tax payer and COMESA/TMSA for their continued support. We expect to be able to provide a massive rate of return on your investment in ColaLife.

About ColaLife
Coca-Cola seems to get everywhere in developing countries, yet essential medicines don't. Why?
ColaLife uses the same principles and networks that Coca-Cola and other commodity producers use, to open up private sector supply chains for 'social products' such as oral rehydration salts and zinc supplements. We began with the concept of using space in Coca-Cola crates – but have extended into a range of innovations, some based on Coca-Cola's expertise and networks – but many based on questioning the status quo.
You can buy a Coca-Cola virtually anywhere in developing countries but in these same places, 1 in 9 children die before their 5th birthday from simple preventable causes like dehydration from diarrhoea. That's more than 16 times the average for developed regions (1 in 152).
ColaLife started as an online 'movement' in April 2008, and became an independent UK charity in 2011. We have more than 10,000 online supporters and these have given us the power to engage Coca-Cola, UNICEF and other key stakeholders. We are now running a locally-determined adaptation of the ColaLife concept, as our first trial, in Zambia – The ColaLife Operational Trial Zambia (COTZ

good night Mt Rainier by SwissAdAWatch
older Scene with new Atmosphere.
C&C Welcome
This is a wonderful image, it really captures the details of the mountain, courtesy of the light emanating from the leftmost half of the sky. However, the image as a whole seems too dark. The trees on the right half of the image are nicely lighted, but the ones on the left are very dark. As a result, I feel, you've lost a lot of detail that is exemplified by the trees on the right. The same applies to the lake in the foreground. It possesses great quality, and has excellent reflections, but it loses detail near the leftmost shoreline. Besides that, however, the image is beautiful. Beautiful enough, I think, to be placed in a travel guide. Great work!
Well done!

Lehigh students ask tough questions of Iraqi ambassador
At the meeting held at Iraq's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York City, the students and Al-Douri discussed Iraq's position on the pending war and the current political state of Iraq.
"I was very surprised when the ambassador agreed to my request for a meeting," says Bill Hunter, director of the office of international students and scholars and past NGO representative to the United Nations, who arranged the meeting. "I believe the session was permitted because Iraq is trying to 'humanize' itself to the American people, hoping to garner additional support for its cause."
`No walk in the park'
Al-Douri provided the students with a historical framework regarding Iraq and then opened the meeting up to a candid question and answer session. Having spent 30 years as a professor, Al-Douri appeared very comfortable dealing with the students' inquiries.
The students, comprised of journalism, international relations, engineering, science and business majors, asked the ambassador very pointed questions on a variety of subjects ranging from Iraq's human rights record to the need for democracy in Iraq.
"This was no walk in the park for Al-Douri," Hunter says. "The students asked some very tough questions. They were respectful, but also critical of his nation's policies, its cat and mouse game with the inspectors and the United Nations."
"Overall, Al-Douri's answers were very diplomatic--no answer was outside the party line," says Nur-e Rahman '04, a journalism major. "I was generally happy with the way he received us, but at times I felt as though he was taking the opportunity to spread his party's political agenda."
Some of Al-Douri's comments surprised the students. "At one point, he said, 'To you, (the Palestinian suicide bombers) are terrorists, but to us, they are heroes,' which shocked me," says Dan Ostermueller '06, a cognitive science major. "But it was really interesting to hear the Iraqi perspective, since all we hear are the American views."
Patrick Schmid '03, a computer science major from Germany, was taken aback by Al-Douri's denial that Iraq has any weapons of mass destruction. "And his denial that they ever did anything to their own people made him seem weak and seriously hampered his credibility," Schmid says. "But he was a good diplomat, stating the position of his country."
Close to the source
Hunter says the meeting was a great example of how the university views its educational mission.
"At Lehigh, our approach is to provide students with hands-on opportunities to learn so they are not forming conclusions based solely on what they read in a text book or hear from the media," Hunter says. "As it relates to helping students make informed decisions about the current situation in the world, there isn't a better way than to have them meet directly with world leaders. For students who are training for careers in journalism or international relations, this is a once in a lifetime chance."
Last month, Hunter led a student group to meet with representatives of the U.S. Department of Defense at the Pentagon and to tour the Washington studios of the Arabic news network, Al-Jazeera. In recent weeks Lehigh has provided students with a range of opportunities to understand global events and the current Iraqi situation, including lectures by author Salman Rushdie and the producer/director of the Al-Jazeera network, Imad Musa.
Rahman, who also attended the Pentagon/Al-Jazeera trip, as well as both the Rushdie and Musa lectures, says she left the meeting with Al-Douri somewhat discouraged. "I walked in hoping he would give us some ground to support the hope that maybe Iraq is not as bad as the media makes it seem at times, and I walked away with a sense of hopelessness in terms of the way the ambassador portrayed a lack of desire to change or compromise."
Hunter says his views on the situation have not changed since meeting with Al-Douri. "I believe the U.S. has Saddam caged and there is no harm in allowing for additional inspections, which I hope will in turn re-ally us with Germany, France, and Russia. The world is now about who you partner with, not who you bully."
Hunter and the students certainly didn't partner with Al-Douri, but they were exposed to the views he represents. "Part of my role at Lehigh is to localize international issues and current events. This time, we got as close as we could to the source," Hunter says.

Microsoft Research imbues keyboard with Kinect-like gesture controls April 29, 2014 at 2:56 pm
Ever since Nintendo's Wii, gesture and motion control have, more or less, gotten a bad rap. Microsoft's Kinect didn't help the matter, as users soon realized that it requires much less effort to press a button on a controller than it does to wildly wave your arm in the air. Microsoft Research has seemingly learned from its past, and has developed a device that aims to make gesture control require much less effort.

Though the only information the public currently has about smartwatches is that various big-name companies are rumored to be developing some, other outlets are already looking to fix perceived problems the devices may have. Most notably, if a watch-sized screen that sits on your wrist will act like a smartphone, how in the world will you be able to precisely poke at letters when typing? This is perhaps the biggest impediment to the success of the smartwatch, but a team at Carnegie Mellon has already developed one possible solution.

I sent these to my aunt and uncle who have been married for over 50 years. Seemed perfect for their birthdays that are only 2 days apart. They called to tell me how much they loved them...and definitely would be using them every morning. A great buy and gift for any special couple.
gifts to daughter and son-in-law along with the Love Notes. Delighted with the Scripture inside the cups. He had just returned from overseas and he said the cup was a blessing to him, something to share each morning.
How fun! His & Hers coffee cups. I love the extra detail with a bible verse on the inside, placed just where you can read it while sipping hot tea. The love notes to Mr. are perfect, tiny reminder. I am planning on "hiding" one in my hubby's boot. The kid notes are pretty neat too. The back side of the card is decorated but also has enough white space to write a personal message of love/encouragement.

consistency index = 0.69) because the later "robusts" resemble early Homo in so many features. These features include many aspects of basicranial flexion, loss of prognathism (muzzle), changes in the anterior dentition, and encephalization. The postcrania, although not included in this analysis, support the view that at least A. robustus and early Homo are monophyletic relative to other species of early hominid.
Whatever the true phylogeny is, and there can be only one, the fact remains that homoplasy is commonplace. Some resemblances appeared independently and not because of evolution from a common ancestor that possessed the same feature. Either adaptations for heavy chewing evolved twice or basicranial flexion, orthognathism, reduced anterior dentition, and encephalization each evolved more than once.
However the specific phylogeny of Hominidae is reconstructed, the important point is that these species are closely related to H. sapiens , and, in general, the more recent in time the species is, the more derived features it shares with our species. The earliest species, A. afarensis, is the most primitive in the sense that it shares the fewest of these derived traits and retains a remarkable resemblance to the common ancestor of African apes and people in many craniodental features. Its postcranium, however, is highly derived (McHenry, 1994a). It is fundamentally reorganized from the form typical of apes to that specific to Hominidae (McHenry, 1982, 1986, 1991, 1994a; Berge, 1993; Johanson et al., 1982; Latimer, 1991; Latimer and Lovejoy, 1989, 1990a, 1990b; Lovejoy, 1978, 1988).
Figure 2A presents features in which the postcranium of A. afarensis differs from African apes and approaches the condition characteristic of humans. The most significant features for bipedalism include shortened iliac blades, lumbar curve, knees approaching midline, distal articular surface of tibia nearly perpendicular to the shaft, robust metatarsal I with expanded head, convergent hallux (big toe), and proximal foot phalanges with dorsally oriented proximal articular surfaces. A commitment to bipedalism in A. afarensis is also shown by the 3.5 million year (Myr) Laetoli footprints, which show very human-like proportions, arches, heel strike, and convergent big toes (McHenry, 1991; Leakey and Hay, 1979; Tuttle, 1987; White, 1980).
The nature of A. afarensis implies that bipedalism evolved well before the appearance of most other hominid characteristics. The appearance of bipedalism is sudden in the sense that it involved a complex alteration of structure in a relatively short period of time. Unfortunately, the fossil record does not yet include hominid postcrania predating

Miller, Moody anxious for UIL decision
Only certainty - change inevitable after realignment
Two years ago, Miller and Moody waited anxiously to see if the University Interscholastic League's biennial realignment changed the classification in which the two schools compete athletically.
Not this time.
Corpus Christi Independent School District director of athletics Rick Page expects both Miller and Moody to drop from Class 5A to 4A when the UIL releases its changes this morning. Although nothing is certain until the information is announced, Page is prepared for the news.
"If someone put a gun to my head and said pick or it's your life, I'd say Moody and Miller are going to go down," Page said. "Everybody has a guess and that's mine."
The reason Page feels that way has everything to do with enrollment.
Miller has experienced a decline in student population for several years and turned in a figure of 1,371 when it reported to the UIL in October. The number is 171 less than the total from two years ago, which even then was well below the 5A cutoff.
Although Moody's enrollment since the last realignment increased by 201 students to 1,960, Page said it might not be enough to keep the Trojans in 5A.
"The big issue that's come about this year, the reason why the numbers are going up so high, is the number of new schools opening up," he said. "There are five brand new 5A schools and 12 schools that were 4A last year that are going up. That's why that bottom number is moving up."
Despite not having the minimum enrollment, Miller and Moody remained 5A schools through a waiver granted by the UIL. Page said the district did not appeal for the Bucs and Trojans to play up when the original paperwork was turned in.
A slim chance exists that Moody could make the cutoff, but if not, the number of 4A schools in the immediate area would increase from eight (Alice, Calallen, Flour Bluff, Gregory-Portland, Kingsville, Robstown, Rockport-Fulton, Tuloso-Midway) to 10. That would necessitate a shift in District 31-4A, which creates even more uncertainty for local coaches.
"I don't think anybody knows anything," first-year Alice coach Brent Davis said. "They could pull schools out of the district and put them into another. There are just too many scenarios. We can't worry about things we can't control. We're just going to show up where we're supposed to and try to be a good football team."
Along with Miller and Moody, Davis and his cohorts are waiting to see what happens with Pharr Valley View, a 3A school set to begin varsity competition in the fall. If the Tigers end up in 4A, it could effect what happens locally.
"There are two big rumors going around and a lot is going to hinge with what happens with Moody and Valley View," first-year Kingsville coach Scot Halfey said. "We could stay in an area district, but there's also a possibility of Kingsville and Alice going in with the (Rio Grande) Valley. There's definitely going to be some type of change."

Top-ranked recipe named "Tender Grilled Tri-Tip"
Try this Tender Grilled Tri-Tip recipe, or contribute your own. "Dish" and "Main dishes" are two tags used to describe Tender Grilled Tri-Tip.
In a sealable bag place all ingredients. Allow roast to marinate for approximately 1.5 hours or longer. Place on grill, fat side down. Grill first side 8 minutes, turn and baste. Grill another 8 minutes. Slice roast into 1-2" thick slices. They will be rare, place back on grill for another 30 seconds or so each side. Place on warmed plate. This is the most tender tri tip I have ever tasted. It prompts me to use my propane grill in the middle of winter because it just doesnt do the same under the broiler!!

Riesling Report: Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland Riesling Spätlese, 2009
I think what many people don't realize about sweet wines is how bright and vibrant they can be—even refreshing. This isn't viscous tropical-fruit nectar, it's wine at once crisp and gently sweet. This Rheingau Spatlese smells a bit like fresh gingerbread, almost peppery. The fruit is pure and luminous: skin-on pears, yellow cherries, baby clementine segments, and a nice balancing green-apple tartness. More

Let us take a moment or two to sympathize with geometry, who has seen better days. Mathematics started with geometry, tradition telling us that the very first proof of a theorem occurred when Thales proved that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal. Euclidean geometry was mathematics for more than a millennium.
Nowadays there are very few people whose job title is geometer and it is quite possible to be a professional mathematician without having the slightest idea of what the theorem of Menelaus says. Geometry has mostly fallen out of the undergraduate curriculum. There are some states whose legislatures, a few decades behind the times, require that those who wish to be certified as worthy to teach mathematics in their states must complete a course in geometry, and this keeps some college courses in geometry going.
It's too bad there aren't more. Geometry deserves better. A course in geometry is much better for students than a course in… well, I won't offend anyone by being specific, but we could all complete the sentence in one way or another. This book would be very good text indeed for the course.
As its title indicates, it approaches geometry through vectors. There's a lot to be said for the synthetic approach — I've taught such a course, greatly to my benefit, though I'm not so sure about the students' — but the vector approach has the advantage not only of being very pretty but of connecting to modern mathematics. The book contains vectors, groups, transformations, and matrices as well as the theorems of Ceva and Desargues. The nine-point circle appears on the same page as the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality.
There are only 114 pages of text (followed by 15 pages of answers to odd-numbered exercises), so it is just right for a semester's work. If students demand more, instructors should be able to provide extra material. Philippe Tondeur is a very smart man, so it is no surprise that his book is clear and well-written. It's well printed too. Anyone looking around for a geometry text should consider it.
Woody Dudley hopes that all who read this will forever refrain from making jokes about how geometers know the angles.

KATHMANDU, NOV 25 - As part of an artpiece exploring the relationship between humans and nature, Japanese artist Takehito Shiina cut a hole in his chest and planted a melon seed. The seed did not germinate. Shiina's experiments with the human body as potential ground for photosynthesis are the premise for 'The Dawn of the Photosynthesizers,' a photoseries that seeks to engage the viewer in a series of part-horrifying, part-intriguing images of interactions between the human and the plant kingdom.
Shiina is among 95 artists from around the globe that are showcasing their work in the Capital for the next four weeks as part of the second Kathmandu International Art Festival (KIAF) that opened on Sunday. Its theme, 'Earth|Body|Mind', has allowed for the pairing of art with one of the most pertinent issues faced by humanity at the moment—climate change.
KIAF 2012 is being organised by the Siddhartha Arts Foundation with the aim of exploring the potential of art as a powerful tool for disseminating information and instigating social change.
The inaugural session of the festival, held under the chairmanship of Secretary at the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Yagya Prasad Gautam, saw a keynote address delivered by eminent academic Prof Abhi Subedi, who hailed the festival as a 'welcome respite' from the over saturation of politics in the Nepali mindset.
Kiran Manandhar, chancellor of the National Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), supported Subedi in his assertion, claiming that KIAF was essential to preserving Nepali art and culture. "If we are to develop our country, art and culture must be upgraded. However, the sad fact is that none of the art-related work has been supported by our government," he told the Post.
The event, touted as one of the biggest art festivals in South Asia, will see 15 venues across Kathmandu transformed to accommodate the artists' works. To make the most out of the international gathering, the festival also includes a two-day art symposium beginning on Monday.

Ratings Report: UFC 153 Pulls Decent But Not Great PPV Ratings | UFC NEWS
While we will never know the truth of the matter, the lone source for UFC pay-per-view figures has and always will be, Mr. Dave Meltzer.
When people talk of buys, stating this PPV did this amount and this one did that, it is all based on his industry intelligence. The UFC never confirms figures, nor do the broadcasters, however, Meltzer's time in the PPV business has gone on way before the UFC existed and therefore his estimates and contacts are widely considered as valid and on point.
With that being said, here is what he said via his newsletter about UFC 153: Silva vs. Bonnar:
Estimates vary regarding how UFC 153 did on pay-per-view due it being so soon after the event, but the news looks positive in that the show appears to have outdistanced most expectations going in.
Industry estimates have ranged from 340,000 to 410,000 buys from various sources, for the show headlined by Anderson Silva vs. Stephan Bonnar. This would make it the most successful of the four events thus far held in Brazil, and the numbers may not even wind up too far off what UFC 152 did, for a show in Toronto headlined by Jon Jones vs. Vitor Belfort for the light heavyweight title.
4 Responses to "Ratings Report: UFC 153 Pulls Decent But Not Great PPV Ratings | UFC NEWS"
Its just a thought here, but maybe its because the the last few fight cards have sucked, and people are always dropping out.
Maybe cause true fight fans were watching Rios vs Alvarado on HBO
Maybe cause the fight was a circus show and true MMA fans didn't buy into the "fun fight" BS Dana was pitching.
danna will be so pissed that the ppv numbers are bieng released. How Funny
