An anonymous question from the 20-questions seminar:
Can you explicitly write R^2 as a disjoint union of two totally path disconnected sets?
An anonymous question from the 20-questions seminar:
Can you explicitly write R^2 as a disjoint union of two totally path disconnected sets?
Let S be a subset of the reals such that S∩[a,b] and Sc∩[a,b] cannot be written as a countable union of closed sets for any a<b. This can be done (this explicit example of a non-Borel set achieves this). Let ℚ be the rationals. Then, A=(Sxℚ)U(Scxℚc) and B=(Sxℚc)U(Scxℚ) should do it.
The proof is as follows. Suppose that the curve t→(f(t),g(t)) lies in A, and consider a closed bounded interval I. As the curve lies in A, f(I)∩S = f(I∩g-1(ℚ))=∪x∈ℚf(I∩g-1(x)) is a union of countably many closed sets. By the choice of S, f(I) must be a single point. Hence, f is constant. Then, g is a continuous function mapping into either ℚ or ℚc, so is also constant. So A is totally path disconnected. The argument for B follows in the same way by exchanging S and Sc
I we omit "path" in the formulation, then it cannot be done. I guess that is why it is formulated this way.
Suppose the plane could be written as the union of two totally disconnected sets. Intersect with a closed square to write the square as the union of two totally disconnected sets. But the square is compact, so these two sets are zero dimensional. Finally, the union of two zero dimensional sets has dimension at most 1. So that union cannot be the square.
So, in the construction, your two sets are totally path disconnected, but not totally disconnected!
Here's a stab at something explicit but without proofs. We may as well work with the square of the open interval ]0, 1[. Represent a number between 0 and 1 by its regular continued fraction, say x = [a_1, a_2, ..., a_n] if x is rational and x = [a_1, a_2, ...] if x is irrational. With this notation, define f(x) = [a_n, ..., a_2, a_1] if x is rational and f(x) = [a_2, a_1, a_4, a_3, ...] if x is irrational. So f is some brutally discontinuous involution. Then consider A = {(f(x), f(y)): x + y less than 1} and B the complement of A in the square of the interval. Gut feeling is that A and B are both totally disconnected.
Surely someone can improve on this.
I'll apply the following simple result:
THEOREM Let $f : I\rightarrow X$ be an arbitrary non-constant continuous function (a path) of interval $I:=[0;1]$ into an arbitrary topological space $X$. Then there exist continuous maps $\alpha:I\rightarrow I$ and $g:I\rightarrow X$ such that $f = g\circ \alpha$, and $g$ is not constant on any non-empty open subinterval of $I$.
Here is a simple positive solution for the question of this thread, and proof:
Let $\mathbb C := \mathbb R^2$ be the complex plane. Let $K \subseteq \mathbb C$ be a Knaster pseudo-arc. Let $$L := i\cdot K := \{i\cdot z : z \in K\}$$
where $i^2=-1$. Let $D$ be a dense countable subset of $\mathbb C$. Define $$A := \left(\bigcup_{d\in D}\ \left(d+K\right)\right)\cup\left(\bigcup_{d\in D}\ \left(d+L\right)\right)$$
where $d+X := \{d+x:x\in X\}$. Finally, let $$B := \mathbb C\setminus A$$
Then $\dim(B) = 0$, and $B$ does not contain any non-constant path.
Also, there does not exist any non-constant continuous map $f : I \rightarrow A$ --indeed, if there was one then we may assume that it is not constant on any open subinterval of $I$. Then the inverse images:
$(\bigcirc^{-1}f)(d+K)\quad$ and $\quad(\bigcirc^{-1}f)(d+L)$
would be 0-dimensional closed subsets of $I$, for every $d\in D$. Thus $I$ would be a countable union of 0-dimensional closed subsets, which is a contradiction. It means that $A$ does not contain any image of any non-constant path.
This completes a positive answer to the Question of this thread.
Let me try. QxQ and its complement in R^2. Does this work? Edit: this does not work, :(. Let me try something else then. Take S = (R\Q)x(R\Q). QxR U RxQ would be S complement. Let p be a prime number and let q_p be in Q. For each q_p, let J_p be the set of all rational numbers times the square root of p. Since Q is countable, there is a bijection between the set of primes and {q x R : q is rational} union {R x q : q is rational}. So let A be the union of all q_p X J_p and J_p X q_p. Take A union S and the complement of that in R^2 to be your disjoint union. Dunno if this works but at least it seems like a better attempt.

June 12 – Day to Eradicate Child Labour Partnership Statement
Fairtrade International and Plan International with Plan Canada work together to strengthen protection against harm for children identified in hazardous labour.
To mark World Day Against Child Labour and this year's focus on hazardous work, children's organization Plan and ethical certification system Fairtrade International are pleased to announce their partnership on a unique pilot project.
The international community defines hazardous labour as work likely to harm a child's health, safety or morals. The two organizations are developing a joint community led monitoring system with instruction manual to enable producer communities tackle the issue of hazardous child labour.
The training manual will support producers and their communities to self monitor and assess that their labour practices conform to Fairtrade standards on child labour. Communities will be able to maintain appropriate working hours, safe conditions and healthy work environments.
Through awareness raising, observation, data collection and assessment, discussion and action, the manual aims at increasing local interests in improving children's well being in both non- Fairtrade and Fairtrade communities. As a child-centered community development organization, Plan aims to protect the safety and dignity of all children.
Development of the manual is underway and final publication is planned for later this year.

Web Sockets API
The BlackBerry® Browser now includes support for the Web Sockets API, which is designed to permit near real-time communication with web server. A web socket is a bi-directional communication channel between a web server and a browser that allows messages to be sent back and forth without requiring an HTTP request and response each time.
The Web Socket API is designed to hide much of the complexity of socket communication. A socket is opened when a WebSocket object is constructed. Once the socket connection is established, the browser and server can send data back and forth. Once the socket is closed, it cannot be reopened; a new WebSocket objected must be constructed.
Web sockets can be an efficient solution for a web applications that require regular communication with a server. Because a web socket is established once and used repeatedly without the need for communication over HTTP, it can greatly reduce the overhead of sending multiple HTTP headers back and forth. In addition, web sockets can eliminate the need for inefficient communication practices such as polling, in which the browser checks repeatedly for new data on the server. Because a web socket is an open communication channel, the browser only needs to listen for incoming messages. When the server has new data, it sends a new message to the browser. The browser receives the message as it arrives.
Web sockets are not subject to the same-origin policy. The browser can open a socket with a server that is different from the server that originally served the web page.
By default, support for web sockets is disabled in the BlackBerry Browser. To establish a web socket between the browser and a server, the user must first select the Enable Web Sockets setting in the BlackBerry Browser options. Because this technology is dependent upon a user setting, web developers should provide alternate content in the event that web sockets are not available.

Hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disease that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron. The condition gets its name from "hemo" for blood and "chroma" for color, referring to the characteristic bronze skin tone that iron overload can cause. Someone with hereditary hemochromatosis who has never taken an iron supplement could find out in later years that iron overload is causing serious health problems.
Iron is a trace mineral that plays a vital role in the body. Every red blood cell contains iron in its hemoglobin, the pigment that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. We get iron from our diet, and normally the body absorbs about 10% of the iron found in foods. People with hemochromatosis absorb double that amount.
Once absorbed, the excess iron doesn't leave the body. Instead, it's stored in synovium (joints) and major organs such as the liver, heart, brain, pancreas, and lungs. Over many years, iron accumulates to toxic levels that can damage or even destroy an organ. The iron overload can cause many health problems, most frequently a form of diabetes that's often resistant to insulin treatment. Because of this, hereditary hemochromatosis is sometimes called "bronze diabetes."
Some people with the disease develop symptoms by age 20, although signs of the condition usually appear between ages 40 and 60, when iron in the body has reached damaging levels. Women are less likely to develop symptoms of iron buildup than men, probably due to normal iron loss during menstruation.
However, hereditary hemochromatosis should not be considered a disease of older people or men. Iron buildup is often present and silently causing problems long before symptoms occur — in men, women, adolescents, and in rare cases, children.
Although many people have never heard of hereditary hemochromatosis, it is not rare and affects as many as 1 in every 200 people in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Hereditary hemochromatosis is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation on a gene that regulates iron absorption — 1 in every 8 to 10 people in the United States carries a single copy of this defective gene, called HFE. Carriers don't necessarily have the condition themselves, but can pass the mutated gene on to their children.
Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive condition, which means that in order to get it, a child must inherit two mutated HFE genes — one from each parent. If a child inherits just one mutated HFE gene, the normal gene essentially balances out the defective HFE gene.
Even with two mutated genes, not everyone becomes ill. Although a majority of those with two mutated genes will eventually develop some type of iron overload, far fewer of them will absorb enough iron to develop serious problems.
In some cases, inheriting only one mutated gene may still eventually lead to iron overload, possibly affecting the heart, according to the Iron Disorders Institute. In these people, the iron overload may be triggered by a precipitating factor, such as hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) or alcohol abuse. Individuals with one mutated gene who become ill may also have mutations in other genes, yet to be discovered, that increase iron absorption.
Some people who test positive for hereditary hemochromatosis remain symptom-free for life. Kids who test positive rarely have any symptoms because iron takes years to accumulate.
Patients who do have symptoms may experience:
With such a wide range of possible symptoms, the disease can be extremely difficult to diagnose. As symptoms progress, it's frequently misdiagnosed as chronic hepatitis, other forms of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, iron deficiency, gallbladder illness, menstrual problems, thyroid conditions, or polycythemia (an increase in the number of red blood cells).
It's important to understand that someone with hereditary hemochromatosis can have some symptoms without having all of them (i.e., heart problems without skin color changes, diabetes, or liver problems).
Luckily, the damage from hereditary hemochromatosis is completely preventable if it's diagnosed and treated early. Doctors may use these blood tests to measure the amount of iron in the blood and diagnose iron overload:
With these results, a transferrin saturation percentage (transferrin is a protein that carries iron in the blood) is calculated by dividing the TIBC into the serum iron. An elevated transferrin saturation percentage or serum ferritin level indicates iron overload.
Several gene mutations can cause hemochromatosis. A genetic test is available for the most common type of hemochromatosis, which accounts for about 85% of cases in the United States. However, only some of those who test positive will actually develop serious illness. The other 15% of individuals with symptomatic hemochromatosis will have mutations not in the HFE gene, but in other genes, which may be unknown or for which gene testing isn't routinely available.
Therefore, in cases in which high transferrin saturation and high serum ferritin are found but gene testing doesn't confirm hemochromatosis, a liver biopsy may be done to determine whether symptomatic hemochromatosis exists or is likely to develop.
Also, the doctor may recommend a DNA test to confirm hereditary hemochromatosis when a spouse or first-degree relative (parent, child, or sibling) has been diagnosed with it.
Given the prevalence of the condition, some specialists suggest screening to detect hereditary hemochromatosis before it causes problems. The following approaches to screening have been suggested:
If you have a family history of hereditary hemochromatosis and are concerned about your child, talk to your doctor about screening tests.
Besides specific treatment for complications of the condition — such as insulin for diabetes — most individuals with hereditary hemochromatosis are treated by regularly drawing blood, a process called phlebotomy that's similar to making a blood donation.
Initially, blood may be drawn once or twice weekly during the "de-ironing" phase until the level of iron in the body has dropped to normal. In many cases, it requires 2 or 3 years of periodic phlebotomy to reach the desired level.
After the de-ironing phase, when the serum ferritin level has fallen into the normal range, the patient usually remains on a maintenance schedule of three to four phlebotomy sessions a year. Doctors check ferritin levels annually to monitor iron accumulation. For most people, this treatment will continue for life.
When detected and treated early, any and all symptoms of hereditary hemochromatosis can be prevented, and the person can live a normal life. If left untreated, however, it can lead to damaging or even fatal iron overload.
Complications of untreated iron overload include: diabetes, arthritis, depression, impotence, hypogonadism (deficient production of sex hormones by the testicles or ovaries), gallbladder disease, cirrhosis (disease and scarring of the liver), heart attack, cancer, and failure of other organs.
Treatment for kids typically isn't as aggressive as for adults, and making some minor dietary changes can help slow iron accumulation.
Talk to your doctor about taking steps to delay or reduce iron overload. You might:
These simple steps can help ensure that your child will remain free of symptoms of the disease.

As you all are probably aware, Makhachkala's not been a happy campsite recently. Pesky, Muslim jihadis kidnapped a young girl, but were ultimately stopped:
Russian security forces killed seven militants and freed a 6-year-old girl taken hostage in the restive Dagestan region of Russia's volatile North Caucasus on Saturday, a national anti-terrorism committee official told Interfax news agency.
The incident took place in an apartment building in the provincial capital of Makhachkala, according to the Interfax report. The militants broke through a wall, entered an apartment and took the girl hostage, according to the report.
The Interfax report identified the leader of the militants involved in the incident as Gadzhimurat Dolgatov and said he was among the seven killed.
Scratch Makhachkala off the must-visit list. My disappointment cannot be contained.

WADDINGTON – The Village Board will take another month before it votes on whether it will sell its surplus properties to adjacent landowners.
Board members voted to table the issue Monday following the absence of Board Members William R. Shoen and Craig Bogart.
This is something we want all the board members to here for and vote on, Mayor Janet M. Otto-Cassada said.
Located along the St. Lawrence River, the seven parcels equal 5.02 acres.
The parcels were sold back to the village in 2007 as part of the 2003 Relicensing Agreement with the New York Power Authority.
The village board passed a resolution in January to allow North Country Management, LLC, conduct appraisals of only five parcels of land at $1,625 total or $325 per appraisal.
The board received the appraisals Monday. So far five of the seven parcels have been appraised at a total of $317,000.
Id like to have at least the month to look over the appraisals, Board Member William E. Dashnaw said.
Mr. Dashnaw and Mr. Shoen, members of the committee in charge of exploring viable options for the land, plan to take the month determining whether auction or private sale of the land would be most beneficial to the village.
Several adjacent landowners have already shown interest in purchasing the land, Mrs. Otto-Cassada said.
The village faces some obstacles in selling the land. Many of the properties are located on a 100-year flood plain, effective May 11, 1979, according to the report filed by the appraisers.
The New York Power Authority also owns over 200 feet of shoreline on many of the properties.
The board will meet again at 6 p.m. April 1 at the Waddington Municipal Building, 48 Maple St.

And the world will be better for this
That two mods, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with their last ounce of bandwidth
To reach the unreachable admin.

In North America, a bowl game is one of a number of post-season college football games that are primarily played by teams from the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. The term "bowl" originated from the Rose Bowl Stadium, site of the first post-season college football games. The Rose Bowl Stadium, in turn, takes its name and bowl-shaped design from the Yale Bowl, the prototype of many football stadiums in the United States. In turn, the NFL's "Super Bowl" is a reference to college football bowl games.

Floating City Project
A fresh start on a floating city could be just a few years away
For five years, The Seasteading Institute has been conducting research into the potential for permanent, innovative communities – floating at sea. We are now able to apply this foundation of knowledge and our network towards an actual design, along with additional efforts to determine specific needs and desires of potential customers, and to select a practical location for what could become the world's first city at sea.
Phase I
The Floating City Project combines principles of both seasteading and
startup cities
, by seeking to locate a floating city within the territorial waters of an existing nation. Historically, The Seasteading Institute has looked to international waters for the freedom to establish new nations and spur competitive governance from the outside. However, there are several reasons we are now seeking a host nation: a) It is less expensive to engineer a seastead for relatively calm, shallow waters compared with the open ocean outside of territorial waters; b) it will be easier for residents to travel to and from the seastead, as well as to acquire goods and services from existing supply chains; and c) a host nation will provide a place for a floating city within the existing international legal framework, with the associated protections and responsibilities.
Floating City Project Phase I (COMPLETE)
Our detailed report
(see below)
demonstrates the feasibility – from market demand to safety and to construction costs – of a floating city.
Crowdfunding a floating city design (COMPLETE)
We have partnered with Dutch aquatic urban design firm,
, to engineer a novel architectural seastead design, and successfully
over $27,000 for this component.
The report and calculation model are available for download below
Surveying potential customers (ONGOING)
We are continuing to gather data from potential floating city residents and business owners using a survey that measures the preferences and demands of future pioneers – including full- and part-time residents as well as time-share holders. Please take a minute to
participate in this stage and fill out the brief survey
Fill out the brief survey
Exploring floating city designs (COMPLETE)
We investigated both the
DeltaSync design
and a semi-submersible alternative (
view research here
), and determined that DeltaSync's concept is better adapted for the strategy of the Floating City Project, which encourages early seasteads to form within protected waters. In the future it will be important to do additional research on various components of DeltaSync's design.
Honing the location
Our geopolitical and oceanographic experts investigated practical locations for a free city at sea. Our in-house team is now actively engaged in diplomacy with host nations, making the case that hosting an autonomous seastead city in their territorial waters would produce significant economic, social, and environmental benefits for their citizens. Our work was partially based off of
our existing location study published in November of 2011
Phase II
We closed 2014 by taking a delegation of architects and engineers to an undisclosed location where we hope to locate the first floating city in the sea nearby. We believe there could be a market on our floating city for residences, tourism, aquaculture, a business park, a research institute, and a powerplant to sell energy and clean water back to the host nation.
If we create jobs for local residents, government officials indicated a willingness to allow us substantial political autonomy. We are in the process of drafting a legal agreement to present to the host nation, which would be overseen by a third-party arbitrator. Assuming we close an agreement securing some autonomy, we will reveal the location and host a conference there to invite investors, potential residents and developers to survey the lucrative opportunities.
To learn more details about our progress on Phase II, please read a report the
Fact-finding & Diplomatic Floating City Project Mission
by our Executive Director Randolph Hencken. In the mean time, we are advancing on all four aspects of Phase II in consultation with experts. These include: 1. enhancing our novel seastead designs, which includes wave tank testing and acquiring more detailed financial calculations; 2. deepening our diplomatic negotiations with several potential host nations; 3. collecting potential resident feedback; 4. prospecting investors. Be sure to

so you can keep up to date as the project progresses.
The Floating City Project Report
The first floating city with significant political autonomy may be established by 2020.
The key findings of Floating City Project report are:
1. a market for a residential seastead exists, 2. a practical design can be built to match the market's price point, and 3. it is likely that the Seasteading Institute can reach a deal with a host nation willing to grant a floating city substantial political independence.
We have concluded that it would be possible to station a floating city in the calm territorial waters of a host nation in order to reduce the costs of the structure compared to constructing for the open ocean. A coastal nation may be interested in offering to host a floating community in their territorial waters and allow substantial political independence in exchange for economic, social, and environmental benefits. At the time of publication of this report, we are engaged in high level talks with a potential host nation, and entry level talks with others. We will provide more information about these processes when we are able to make the information public. Potential residents from 67 countries and many income levels provided extensive feedback on what they desire from a floating city with political autonomy, and their requests are remarkably consistent. The market demand for the first floating city with some level of political independence is vigorous and growing.
DeltaSync's Design & Feasibility Report
DeltaSync completed their preliminary concept in December 2013.
In their vision, the city is composed of modular platforms – either 50 x 50 meter squares, or pentagons with 50 meter sides. Squares and pentagons can be connected and arranged in numerous branch like structures. Squares are estimated to cost approximately $15 million each. This is equivalent $393 per square foot of gross space. But since 20% of each platform is reserved for open/green space, the report projects issuable space to cost $504 per square foot ($5425/square meter). Reinforced concrete was chosen as the construction material of choice for its price and durability. Concrete structures would be molded into sturdy hollow boxes, or "caissons". Modules would support three story buildings. The design takes into account apartments, terraced housing, office space, and hotels. This concept is based on 11 modules, which could host 225-300 full-time residents when combined, with an additional 50 hotel beds. The total projected cost would therefore be approximately $167 million.
The Gulf of Fonseca, bordering three Central American nations, was chosen as a test case for the suitability of the design for protected, territorial waters – this location selected was based loosely on the criteria we used for selecting host nations, such as proximity to cities and existing infrastructure, and location within an attractive climate, outside the path of hurricanes. However, site selection for this study should not be interpreted as suggesting that we have an agreement to develop a floating city in the Gulf of Fonseca. In a location like this, DeltaSync reports that the platforms could be completely solar-powered, and that this would in fact be more cost-effective than diesel generation, even including the costs of battery storage and distribution via micro-grid. This concept also assesses a scalable method of financing a breakwater, which could eventually surround the city and allow it to move out to the open ocean. Mobility of the individual modules is key from the perspective of guaranteeing autonomy for the city – in the event that the relationship with a particular host nation no longer suits either party, the platforms could detach from their moorings and float to a different location. Modularity and mobility also enable dynamic geography and empower citizens of the city to rearrange into more desirable configurations as the population grows and evolves. While more in-depth engineering research is required, the preliminary analysis suggests that concrete platforms in the 50 x 50 meter dimensions strike the best balance between cost, movability, and stability in the waves of the representative region. Future research includes verifying the findings in DeltaSync's report and honing the assumptions off of which the design is based.
Recruiting Partners & Volunteers
We are seeking experienced persons in any fields relevant to seasteading as partners and/or volunteers for the Floating City Project. We are especially seeking individuals with a background in real estate development, geopolitics, diplomacy and marketing. Qualified applicants should email their resume or description of any relevant experience to

|ASU Tennis Unable to Overcome Furman
|Written by Jennifer Clark
|Thursday, 04 April 2013 06:22
Appalachian State men's tennis dropped a tough road match on Wednesday afternoon to SoCon foe Furman University, as the Paladins picked up a 5-2 win over the Mountaineers at Mickel Tennis Center.
Appalachian (4-12, 2-5 SoCon) dropped its fourth conference match in Wednesday's loss to Furman (6-12, 3-4 SoCon), who has proven hard to beat at home, recording just 20 losses on its home court since 2002 (89-20).
The Mountaineers started off strong with a pair of 8-6 wins as No. 3 tandem Steve Karendal and Steve Lake defeated Andrew Mellow and Luke, followed by Sebastien King and Zach Bost over Alex Christ and Matt Browne at No. 1. At No. 2, Andrew McKinnon and Jen-Willem Kleynhans played a super match to knock off Jacob Behal and Tyler Droll, 9-8 (7-4), and pick up the first point of the afternoon.
Moving into singles action, the Paladins took a quick lead (2-1) with the first two matches of the afternoon at Nos. 3 and 5, before Kleynhans tied the match (2-2) with his three-set win over Christ (2-6, 7-6, 6-4).
Furman responded, however, when Behal outlasted McKinnon at No. 4 (7-5, 6-2). Christ followed suit and beat Karendal in three sets at No. 2 to secure the Paladin victory (3-0, 6-0, 6-4), while King fought at No. 1, but could not manage to overcome Mellow (6-4, 4-6, 6-2).
Appalachian will play its second road match of the week when it travels to Tennessee to face Chattanooga on Saturday, April 6 at 1 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Dell Inc. is going private, opening a new chapter in a once-dominant tech giant that has struggled to cope with a fast-changing market.
Dell US:DELL on Tuesday said it would take the company private in a $24.4 billion deal with Chief Executive and founder Michael Dell and a private-equity firm Silver Lake.
Under the deal, shareholders will receive $13.65 in cash for each share of Dell common stock. The price represents a 25% premium over Dell's closing price of $10.88 on Jan. 11 before rumors of a deal boosted the price of the company's stock. Dell's shares were last trading up 1.3% to $13.44.
The deal will also be financed with a $2 billion loan from Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -0.23% Microsoft shares were down a fraction at $27.38.
"I believe this transaction will open an exciting new chapter for Dell, our customers and team members," Michael Dell said in a statement. "We can deliver immediate value to stockholders, while we continue the execution of our long-term strategy and focus on delivering best-in-class solutions to our customers as a private enterprise."
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
Michael Dell, who owns roughly 14% of Dell's shares, will remain as the company's chairman and CEO.
In an e-mail to employees, Dell added that the transformation of the company "will still take more time, investment and patience." He said the proposed deal would give the PC company "the flexibility to continue organic and inorganic investment, and grow our business for the long term."
The plan must still be approved by Dell shareholders. Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu speculated that approval is not guaranteed, saying, "there's practically no premium" in the deal.
"The big question is: Will investors approve the deal?" he told MarketWatch. "There's a chance they won't. There's a possibility that shareholders might reject this deal, so we'll have to see."
Citigroup upgraded Dell to a neutral rating, citing the "high likelihood of deal completion." Analyst Jim Suva wrote that "with the exception of 1-2 large institutional shareholders, getting majority shareholder approval seems doable given the 25% share price premium," and added that the deal implied a premium valuation over H-P.
Dell will also face the challenge of continuing to push its new business initiatives in a brutally competitive marketplace. Arch-rival Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, +0.00% said it will look to take advantage of any weakness at Dell while it tried to close this deal.
"Dell has a very tough road ahead. The company faces an extended period of uncertainty and transition that will not be good for its customers. And with a significant debt load, Dell's ability to invest in new products and services will be extremely limited," H-P said in its statement.
Dell Goes Private
Dell said it has agreed to be taken private by a group led by founder Michael Dell, in a deal valuing the computer giant at $24.4 billion. Deal Journal's David Benoit joins Markets Hub. Photo: Getty Images.
"We believe Dell's customers will now be eager to explore alternatives, and H-P plans to take full advantage of that opportunity," the company added.

This multi-billion dollar company is proof that generics can be big business. Although Teva saw its North America earnings power shrink to 48% of its sales in 2011 from 62% in 2010, the Israeli company balanced things out, increasing sales to 31% in Europe, up from 24% in 2010, and hauled in 21% of its take from international sales, compared with 14% the year before. Although the company remains solidly in the unbranded drug space, its $6.8-billion purchase last year of Cephalon and its CNS portfolio means more exposure to the brand side of the patent-protection wars, as CNS drugs Provigil, Copaxone and Treanda burn through their exclusivity periods. Teva dealt Par the right to sell an authorized generic of Provigil, meaning Teva earns from both ends of the patent spectrum. The company says it has 177 product registrations awaiting FDA approval—120 of these are patent challenges for first-to-market generic rights.

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest and most productive estuary in the United States.
The Bay is nearly 200 miles long and is fed by 48 major rivers, 100 smaller rivers, and thousands of tiny streams and creeks. The Bay's diverse and complex watershed covers 64,000 square miles and provides habitat for 2,700 species of plants and animals. The watershed is also a major population center where 15 million people live, work, and recreate. Population in the watershed is expected to increase to 18 million by the year 2020.
As early as the 1960s, there was a growing awareness that the resources of the Chesapeake Bay watershed were declining largely due to the tremendous pressure placed upon sensitive resources by a rapidly expanding population. In response to concerns about the quality and productivity of the Chesapeake Bay, the General Assembly enacted a comprehensive resource protection program for the Bay and its tributaries.
The Critical Area Act, passed in 1984, was significant and far-reaching, and marked the first time that the State and local governments jointly addressed the impacts of land development on habitat and aquatic resources.
The law identified the "Critical Area" as all land within 1,000 feet of the Mean High Water Line of tidal waters or the landward edge of tidal wetlands and all waters of and lands under the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
The law created a statewide Critical Area Commission to oversee the development and implementation of local land use programs directed towards the Critical Area that met the following goals:
Minimize adverse impacts on water quality that result from pollutants that are discharged from structures or conveyances or that have run off from surrounding lands;
Conserve fish, wildlife, and plant habitat in the Critical Area; and
Establish land use policies for development in the Critical Area which accommodate growth and also address the fact that, even if pollution is controlled, the number, movement, and activities of persons in the Critical Area can create adverse environmental impacts.
The Commission developed criteria that were used by local jurisdictions to develop individual Critical Area programs and amend local comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances, and subdivision regulations.
The programs that have subsequently been adopted by local governments are specific and comprehensive. They are designed to address the unique characteristics and needs of each county and municipality and together they represent a comprehensive land use strategy for preserving and protecting Maryland's most important natural resource, the Chesapeake Bay.
New Publication
This new publication was developed to assist homeowners with planting and maintaining shoreline Buffers. It includes lots of information about the importance
of the Critical Area Buffer and includes Buffer Management Plans that can be used to satisfy Buffer planting requirements for new construction on waterfront lots.

Regulator 30 Express
By Capt. Rob Smith
From the stern
Starting at the stern, Regulator chose to use the Armstrong bracket, thus gaining cockpit space they wanted. 40" of cockpit space was the net gain over standard mounting on the stern - - cockpit space measured out about 44 square feet for fishing or play. Pulling fish or kids back on board through the transom door will be simple and the hardware is designed for long life.
In the cockpit
Across the stern wall is a 340 qt. fishbox that doubles as storage for when you are not fishing. Rather than one large lid, they divided with a hinge so that it can open from either end. The gunwales are wide enough to mount heavy duty gear and the hawse pipes and rod holders are made of high grade stainless steel.
In the floor are two sole lockers. The aft locker provides you good access to the pumps and cut-offs, and the front locker is large enough to fit the optional Kohler 5kw generator. The aft facing mezzanine seat will be popular with everyone and there is an optional stern folding seat for additional seating in the cockpit.
Under the mezzanine seat is a 30 gallon insulated livewell that can be used as a handy cooler for the beverages. Next to the livewell on the starboard side is a bait station with sink and pull-out spray wand handy for rinsing off after a swim or cleaning up after working bait. Completing the bait station are two drawers with room to store two tackle organizers. The molded-in steps under the gunwales make it simple to go forward and manage anchoring or to step on board from alongside a pier.
Upper cockpit
A step up from the lower cockpit brings you under the cover of the standard hardtop. Across the back of the hardtop our test model featured the optional rocket launcher rod holders and optional Lee Sidewinder Outriggers in the top. The ladder back helm seat is comfortable and by being center mounted, it allows for a spacious L-shaped lounger to wrap from the dash to the port side step into the cockpit. Below is room for lots of storage including rods up to 6'. The helm offers good site lines for driving and room to install electronics of your choice. We had two large Navistar displays above the wheel that fit tightly in the available space. Monitoring the Yamaha 350's was the Yamaha Digital Command Gauges. If you like the extra kick of a bow thruster, it is an option on the 30 Express.
Going in
The cabin entry is a typical accordion door with steps that turn to the right saving floor space below. I was concerned with the strut end of the lifting rod that faced me as I turned to go in, but was assured they were looking into a change in the design already and that would be part of it. Inside, the compact galley provides all the tools necessary for a quick hot meal for the kids or adults as well as a space to escape the hot sun or summer showers.
The mid cabin is large enough to relax in overnight for the adults but is even better for the kids or to use for storage for an off-shore excursion. The dinette does convert into a V-berth. The table is adjustable, but I would like it even more if it had a slide or swivel to enhance the ease of getting behind it. There is a standard 7000BTU reverse cycle AC unit and Sony AM/FM/CD for comfort and entertainment and an optional flat screen TV with DVD player. The head has a vanity with Corian Counter, full length mirror, stainless steel sink and Vacu-flush head with macerator.
The size of it
The new Regulator 30 Express measures 38' length overall with pulpit and bracket, 30'5" without them. She weighs in at 11,350 lbs without the engines and carries 300 gallons of fuel. With a 10'7" beam, she provides a stable ride.
I tested in the Intra Coastal Waterways just off Sea Line Marina in Miami, FL. With three on board and with the waters all chewed up by lots of boat traffic we got to feel just how the Regulator design calms the ugly waters. The 30 Express has the same classic ride I am used to after testing several other of their models. She is responsive and forgiving. She is up on plane in 5.7 seconds and on to 30 MPH in 9 seconds. I found her best cruise speed to be about 23.8 MPH for a range of 291 miles. Her top speed measured 54.3 MPH at 6100 RPMS.
Those that enjoy the near-shore experience and occasional off-shore fishing fun, will certainly find the classic fishing features they have grown accustomed to from Regulator. The compromises to add the cabin seem to be well adjusted to maintain fishability. Having the Armstrong Bracket kept room in the cockpit where you likely do the most work fishing anyway. Three molded-in steps in the cockpit permit easy movement up to the side decks and bow if need be to chase a fish. In my mind, she does a good job of offering the family a way to enjoy most every type of on-the-water enjoyment in one solid, performing package.
Regulator was a pioneer in the offshore center console field and had it all to itself for many years. Today the company has many able competitors both in quality and price. If you are looking for a rugged deep-V boat with a sterling reputation and are willing to pay for it, then it would be hard to do better than the Regulator 30 Express.

ELLE DECOR's Holiday Gift Guide
"This has a proud, timeless stance, yet it still welcomes you in," says Alan Tanksley. He's a fan of the sculptural lines, subtly enhanced by the handhammered brads on linen upholstery. He sees a pair of the 53"-tall chairs flanking a fireplace or an entrance, matched by similarly robust pieces. $1,595; restorationhardware.com.
Given its clean, modern look and apartment-size scale—44" tall—this is a "young generation's wing chair," says Nanjoo Joung. Dark wood legs warm up the frame, and the snowy leather keeps it refreshing and light—perfect for a crisp black-and-white setting. "It would look great in a funky, flowery fabric, too," she adds. $3,300 as shown (also available c.o.m.); americanleather.com.

Previous studies have shown that a mother who chooses to have an abortion puts her own health at risk. Now a study out of Finland shows that she puts other people at risk as well: her future children.
The researchers found that women who had multiple previous abortions were more likely to give birth before 28 weeks. That's almost three months early.
"In terms of public health and practical implications, health education should contain information of the potential health hazards of repeat induced abortions, including very preterm birth and low birthweight in subsequent pregnancies," said co-author of the study, Reija Klemetti, Ph.D., of the National Institute for Health and Welfare in Helsinki.

The Alfond Center for Health is scheduled to open Nov. 9.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ The new regional hospital in northwest Augusta is expected to have about the half the utility bills of the current facilities.
The Alfond Center for Health, which will combine inpatient services of MaineGeneral Medical Center's Thayer campus in Waterville and the East Chestnut Street hospital in Augusta, is scheduled to open Nov. 9.
Paul Stein, chief operating officer, says anticipated energy costs at the new campus are projected at $3.27 per square foot, compared to $7.80 per square foot currently.
Stein tells the Kennebec Journal (http://bit.ly/YEro70 ) the design of the new facility includes energy-saving features including efficient heating/cooling systems, low-water-flow technology, LED lighting, and natural gas.
The building even has a white roof to reflect heat.
The 192 private rooms have also been designed for maximum patient comfort.

A rugged 2x12 closed-back cab loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s and built to stand up to the rigors of the road.
The 120W Orange Amplifiers PPC212-C guitar speaker cabinet is crafted using 13-ply high-density 18mm birch plywood throughout like every Power Projection Cabinet (PPC). Orange speaker enclosures, like Orange amplifiers, are built to last with manufacturing techniques that assure extremely rugged construction.
Orange's unique 'skid' design feet help to acoustically couple these cabinets to the stage to provide a tighter bass response and full range definition. All Orange Amplifiers' speaker enclosures are equipped with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers and are equipped with comfortable flush cabinet handles.
The Celestion Vintage 30 Speaker recreates the sound of the original Celestion Blue with new cone and coil assembly. Improved performance: rated at 60W capability, handles extra heat generated by higher power equipment. The Vintage 30 handles massive overdrive tones with ease. It's a classic 2x12 loudspeaker.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers PPC Series PPC212-C 120W 2x12 Closed Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I've been wanting to get a 2-12 Orange cabinet, for my Orange HD30TC, great amp and now with this cabinet - a complete set. I have a 1-12 cabinet I also use which isn't an Orange, that also sounds good, this cabinet is heavy & it's large. I'm use to small combo amps so it will be for live gigs, I purchased it on sale @ MF. I wanted a quality 2-12 cab, this sis a very well made cabinet. I would like to A/B against my 1-12 cab, because my 1-12 cab also sounds great. I guess how much can you say about a speaker cab? It's well made, exact match for my amp, looks great sounds great, it is heavy!

Comments about Orange Amplifiers PPC Series PPC212-C 120W 2x12 Closed Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I always used Marshalls cabs I use Marshall 1/2 stack but lately the gigs are all upstairs I needed a smaller cab with 2x12 I checked all the name brands Orange was the smallest with the best speakers The first pratice I didn't know what to expect it sounded great maybe even better then the Marshall Better built and better price now I think the basses is going to get one

Comments about Orange Amplifiers PPC Series PPC212-C 120W 2x12 Closed Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I love this cabinet! It sounds awesome, and the notes ring so sweet, whether you strum for sustained clarity or punch it with thumpy palm mutes, etc. Very versatile. The cabinet just screams quality, with its multi-ply birch construction.
I bought the restock for about one fifty less, and you can't tell it's a restock or B stock. If you're looking to save money and don't mind getting a restock, GO FOR IT! You will not be disappointed. MF return policy will ensure this, in case your experience isn't as stellar as mine. Mine is orange, and I figure, well if I'm buying an Orange product, it has to be orange, right? LOL
Cons: Having 13-ply birch construction, this cabinet seems to be on the heavier side. You get awesome tone and sound, but the price is it makes this cabinet a bit beefier and heavier than other 2x12 cabs I've seen. I am not complaining, just feel its fair to list at least one con, and be fair, as NOTHING IS PERFECT. That being said, the extra weight is worth it. This cabinet sounds like heaven. This cabinet proves why so many rant and rave about Orange products.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers PPC Series PPC212-C 120W 2x12 Closed Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
It's only been a couple of weeks and I am still breaking this cab in but at the very least to say I am impressed! This cab is solid, has great bass response and is built incredibly well. I play Hard Rock and Metal so I was looking for a cab that could handle some brutal overdrive and yet still give off some warm overtones on the clean parts. I also wanted a smaller cab rather than a huge 4X12 and this thing met my needs nicely and still gets it. This cab is heavy but that is what you get if you want a solid constructed closed back cab with good punchy response! The Celestian Vintage 30's are my favorite and put out a very nice warm low-end! These speakers can really deliver a mean crunch when you push them and handle the overdrive well. I use a Blackstar HT50 Club Head with it and it sounds incredible! I highly recommend this cab and am very happy with it!

Comments about Orange Amplifiers PPC Series PPC212-C 120W 2x12 Closed Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
This cab can do it all. Chiming clear cleans to the deepest heavy metal chugs! Heavy and durable with tremendous projection. Sounds great at high volume or bedroom levels. It does cost a bit more but the quality is there. It is a tank, I would not hesitate to get another if I somehow lost this or it was stolen.
Comments about Orange Amplifiers PPC Series PPC212-C 120W 2x12 Closed Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
The best cab you will ever buy,
The model i own was made when they were still built in Britain but i'm sure these are just as good. I play out of a 1985 Marshall JCM 800 and combined with this it sounds like gold. The absolute best cab i have ever used. the 4x12s are really nice too but this is obviously a lot easier to transport especially if you're in a touring band, it's definitley powerful enough despite it's size.
if you're looking for a really nice vintage dirty sound this will do the job. v30s are the best speakers you can buy and there's a reason they come standard in every orange product
it's nice to see that orange is making a comeback with all these modern bands and there's a good reason everyone is using them
this cab wrecks!
sounds insane, built to last, british or american... doesn't matter anything with the word Orange on it is quality
a little over priced, i got mine used for a good deal but if i had the money i'd definitely buy one new.
Comments about Orange Amplifiers PPC Series PPC212-C 120W 2x12 Closed Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
Built like a tank...You can't break it. Unless your pulling a Hendrix and accidently set it on fire.
This cabinet rocks! It is very heavy and very solid. I was amazed when I got it. I was disappointed that so many manufacturers are outsourcing the production of their equipment to cheap third world countries and had a very hard time choosing between Mesa Boogie, Orange, PRS, and Marshall. This cabinet is designed by Orange but made in the good old USA. It also has some great speakers in it that will last forever. The cabinet has lots of volume and just fills a space with sound. It soulds good with a 150 watt head and it also sounds good with my little night train amp. You can't go wrong.
Sounds great! Clean tones are perfect even at loud volumes.
It's expensive but worth it. Unless your a collecter...you won't nedd another cabinet ever. I was sorry to see the price go up 50 bucks but wait for a sale and beg your sales rep for a deal. The person that I delt with made my day...even though it wasn't covered in the promotion they still gave me a break.
Comments about Orange Amplifiers PPC Series PPC212-C 120W 2x12 Closed Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
Have played a combination of four different amp heads/four different guitars through this guy. The tone is top notch, defined lower midrange. You do not have to worry about bottom end tone on these guys! That being said, it wont muddy your sound either. If your looking into this cab, your pretty familiar with what to expect from Orange. (Great construction, vintage flavor) This cabinet will not disappoint!

The Study of Religion at Whitman College
The goal of the study of religion at a secular college is religious literacy. Religious literacy, an important dimension of cultural literacy, entails both a cognitive component (knowledge of religions and of the religious dimension of culture) and proficiencies (the acquiring of skills relevant to the analysis of religion). Courses in religion have the objective of conveying knowledge in four areas (Asian Religions, Modern Western Religious Thought, Near Eastern Religions, and Religion in America), and of developing skills of analysis, interpretation, and communication.

Natalie Portman's Directorial Debut & Paper Towns' Nat WolffBy Gerri Miller
See how Portman is making her big splash in Israel and don't miss Paper Towns with Nat WolffGo To Pop Culture
Progressive Conservatives
Arnold Eisen's inauguration as the chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary last fall has generated a fair amount of excitement in the Jewish world. As the first non-rabbi to serve in the role in more than 65 years and one of the leading sociologists of American Jewry, he is widely seen as bringing a fresh perspective to his leadership of the Conservative movement's flagship institution.
So far, his statements about intermarriage have been encouraging, but I'm really enthused about what he said in this recent Q&A with the St. Petersburg Times. His response to a question about intermarriage is so positive that I want to share its entire text:
I was particularly struck by his statement "The word should go out that whether the non-Jewish partner or family members convert or not, they are welcome in our midst forever." That sends the message that non-Jewish family members are not flawed in some way, but are valuable contributors to the Jewish community. As he says, "They have wisdom and skills and love that can benefit our communities." That kind of welcome–without conditions, with love and approval–is exactly the kind of response the Jewish community needs to exhibit towards the intermarried.
I look forward to seeing how his leadership will help push the Conservative movement further on the road to integrating intermarried families fully into the life of Conservative synagogues.
