Hypothyroidism Overview
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones affect the metabolic processes of the body. Hypothyroidism can be caused by conditions of the thyroid as well as other disease which may indirectly affect the thyroid. Women are affected by hypothyroidism more than men, especially as they age. The incidence of hypothyroidism increases significantly in the elderly. Low thyroid hormone levels decrease metabolism (how energy is used), and increase the risk of other health issues such as heart disease and problems of pregnancy.

If you thought we'd covered just about every angle of menswear-inspired fashion, from offbeat oxfords to slim suits, you're in for a real treat, dear readers, because we have yet another laddish item to discuss: sneakers! Now, we're not talking about gym shoes (perish the thought!) or even the worn-in Chucks one associates with indie music fans. No, today's story is closer to the styles a sneakerhead might obsess over, albeit one who is more of a fashion fan than a collector of kicks. And while this casual-yet-creative footwear was first popularized back in the '80s, it's now gaining ground in the high-style realm, convincing tastemakers like Kate Bosworth and designers to ditch their fancy platforms for these coolly casual lace-ups. Whether they're high-tops or low-tops, emblazoned with flashy prints and neon colors or modeled in earthy, neutral tones, these shoes are proving to be a hot-ticket item for both summer and fall, hence the reason we're highlighting them in today's Microtrend!
One of the great things about hi-fashion sneakers is that they can be a canvas for a multitude of playful prints, bright colors, and interesting embellishments. For example, we came across Poppy Delevingne at a Fashion For Relief event in London back in April wearing a pair of leopard-print Christian Louboutin sneakers adorned with gold spikes. The British model looked casually chic in a bright red Rag & Bone blazer, Paige's Verdugo Denim Leggings ($179) in Super McKinley, and beige Madeleine Thompson beanie, but it was her well-calculated decision to incorporate a pair of printed lace-up sneakers that gave her a look a delightfully quirky flair. Though not as flashy, we're also smitten with the high-tops Liu Wen wore between shows during Paris Fashion Week late last year. We appreciate the stunning model's visually intriguing ensemble, especially how she styled her vintage printed palazzo pants with a pair of black and bright blue Opening Ceremony sneakers (which are from a past season and no longer available), for a high-impact look. That same week in Paris, model Bianca Balti also stepped out wearing a pair of stylish kicks. The gray studded lo-tops add interest to her laidback, neutral, off-duty attire.
If you're searching for similarly striking footwear, you don't want to miss Creative Recreation's Galow Hi Fashion Sneakers, which come in 17 spectacular print and color combos, like Giraffe ($105) and Black Splatter ($95). Want a feline-inspired pair a la Delevingne? Good thing you asked, because Ash's Scoop Sneakers ($200) are a spot-on alternative! We're also impressed with Coach's New Barrett Poppy Sneakers ($88) and Palazzo Bruciato's Denim Blue Sequined High-Top Suede Sneakers ($222); both are sure to give your ensembles an eye-catching finish. And for those who prefer a tough-girl look, be sure to snag a pair of Sam Edelman's Alexander Studded Sneakers ($150) today!
Neutral/Classic Styles
While we certainly enjoy the artsy aspect of hi-fashion sneakers, we're also over the moon for the classic and sporty styles seen at Balenciaga and adored by the always-stylish Kate Bosworth! Speaking of the former, we were particularly pleased with the sneakers we saw in the Parisian fashion house's Pre-Fall 11 collection. In the look featured above--described by designer Nicolas Ghesquiere as "wellness wear" or in other words, a French-chic take on gym clothes--a royal purple alpaca fur jacket was styled with a black tunic over gray tailored trousers and finished with athletic-inspired lace-up sneakers. Bosworth, on the other hand, constructed a more casual ensemble while out at lunch in Los Angeles last month, which included Topshop's Coral Knitted Stitch Yoke Jumper ($65), MiH London's Boy Cropped Slouchy Leg Jeans ($253) in Hickory Wash, and her favorite Isabel Marant Bobby Sneakers ($725, available in September). Of course Bosworth isn't the only one fawning over Isabel Marant's covetable kicks! We spotted a stylish civilian on the streets of Milan late last year sporting the Perkins Suede and Leather Wedge Sneakers ($660, 212.219.2284) from the S/S 11 collection, which have a very similar look. Both Isabel Marant styles have a hidden, built-in wedge, which offers the appearance of a sneaker, but also gives you a flattering, elongated leg like a heel--what more could you want? Finally, we totally approve of how another savvy civilian incorporated a pair of hi-fashion sneakers into her look and love the idea of pairing this casual footwear with a delicate dress and blazer for an unexpected yet chic daytime look.
If you cant splurge on or wait for the hi-fashion kicks mentioned above, no need to panic, we've got some pretty amazing alternatives you simply must check out! We would like to first direct you to Marc by Marc Jacobs' High Top Sneakers ($150) and Jimmy Choo's Suede/Patent Leather Tokyo Hi-Top Sneakers ($495), which both offer a neutral color palette and simple design. Prefer classic lace-ups? Prada's Cap-Toe Sneakers ($295) have a haute Chuck Taylor vibe, while Lanvin's Metallic Cracked-Leather Sneakers ($565) remind us of a fashionable version of our favorite Vans from high school. Of course, our selection of top-tier sneaker options would not be complete without See by Chloe's Wedge Lace-Up Sneakers ($345). As ladies who love some height, we're quite smitten and think you should pick up a pair pronto!--Jessica Baker

Roasted Coffee: Rwanda Coffee Villages & Burundi Kibande Ruyaga
February 18th 2015 (pictured: wooden bicycles from Rwanda outside the Sweet Maria's offices in West Oakland)
It's been two weeks and we have another exciting pair for our roasted coffee subscription. This time I chose one coffee from Rwanda and one from Burundi. Both of these arrived recently here at the Sweet Maria's.
Rwanda Coffee Villages City +
The sweetness stands out in this balanced coffee from the Karenge station in Eastern Rwanda. It reminds me of a less refined sugar like muscovado. There are mild notes of apple and dried fruits in the acidity. Subtle hints of all-spice and clove come forward in the aroma and add complexity to this brewed cup. There is a bit of dark chocolate in the finish.
There is a pleasing acidity upfront in this one from the Muyinga province of Burundi. It sparkles with a combination of juicy citrus and a brighter lemongrass flavor. The sweetness is syrupy, like honey or caramel. At this City roast level there is a candied nut flavor.

SANTA BARBARA — UC Santa Barbara men's basketball coach Bob Williams said there were some basic adjustments in the second half that simplified the Gauchos' offense in their 74-71 Big West Conference home win against UC Irvine on Thursday.
But, Williams admitted, there wasn't much complexity to his squad's offensive attack to start with.
"We're basically threes around Al," said Williams, referring to three-point shooters positioned around 6-foot-7, 240-pound sophomore post Alan Williams inside.
Both elements of that equation were functioning at a high level against the Anteaters, particularly in the second half, to allow the Gauchos (5-8, 1-1 in conference) to erase a 13-point first-half lead and hand UCI (7-8, 1-1) its first conference loss.
Williams, who had 22 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots, made a three-point play with seven seconds left to break a 71-71 deadlock.
Taran Brown, UCSB's 6-8 freshman, blocked a three-point attempt from the corner by Alex Young in the final seconds to halt the Gauchos' three-game losing streak.
Williams banged, spun and leaped for his inside points against smaller, lighter opponents. He was eight of 16 from the field and six of nine from the foul line. And when UCI did manage to get a body on him and a hand up inside, Williams was more than happy to dish to the perimeter, where his teammates made 13 of 26 attempts from beyond the arc.
UCSB sophomore reserve Kyle Boswell made six of 10 three-point tries on his way to a career-high-tying 23 points to lead all scorers. The Edison High product had 19 points and made five of eight from three-point range in the Gauchos' road victory at UCI last season.
Brown connected on four of eight three-point tries and sophomore T.J. Taylor made three of four to help the hosts outgun the Anteaters.
UCI, which scored seven straight points to knot the score at 71 with 1:29 remaining, made 10 of 24 three-pointers, but only four of 14 after halftime, when it led, 37-32.
"[Boswell] comes in with a lot of confidence and he has the ultimate green light," Bob Williams said of his reserve sharpshooter, who came in averaging 11.5 points and 2.7 three-pointers per game. "When you have a good inside player [Williams], you need balance. If you try to take away threes, it gives Al more room."
UCSB made 17 of 27 second-half field-goal tries (63%) and was seven for 12 from threedom (58.3%), to turn things around. Once down, 30-17, with 4:10 left in the opening half, the Gauchos closed the half on a 6-0 run and opened the second half on fire from the field.
"We made a couple adjustments to go to Al quicker [inside], which gave us more time on perimeter looks, when we went inside-out," Bob Williams said. "And we knocked them down, fortunately."
UCI Coach Russell Turner, whose team came in leading the conference in field-goal- and three-point-percentage defense, was disappointed by his team's play in the final 20 minutes, after limiting UCSB to 34.6% from the field in the first half (nine for 26).
"In the second half, they found a rhythm on us that we allowed them to have," Turner said. "That's how you get beat."
Al Williams' effectiveness inside was aided by foul trouble for UCI big men. Senior center Adam Folker sat the final 15:46 of the first half with two fouls and sophomore reserve John Ryan had four first-half fouls.
Turner said he elected not to play 6-8 sophomore Will Davis, but declined to provide specifics beyond "coach's decision."
Davis, who had started 11 of the team's first 14 games, averages 6.4 points and six rebounds per game and is the conference leader in blocked shots.
UCI senior Daman Starring hit four of his six three-pointers in the first half on his way to 21 points, while Young had a career-high 18 points.
Folker had 10 points and a team-best six rebounds in 25 minutes. He had four points during the 7-0 run that allowed UCI to pull even in the closing minutes.

How to properly clean your Chacos
We are not chemists nor rocket scientists, but we wear our Chacos constantly, and we know what works and what doesn't. We also believe in helping you maintain your investment to keep your Chacos going for years. Our suggestions are low-impact, safe methods and will not delaminate the rubber, nor cause the webbing to crack or fade.
Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

Many people look forward to summer, which brings the promise of pleasures like long days in the sun, picnics, beaches and baseball. Warm weather, however, also brings some not-so-welcome visitors in the form of stinging insects. For most people, these small creatures are an annoyance that threaten to ruin outdoor fun. But for some 2 million Americans, these insects pose a far more serious threat of a life-threatening allergic reaction.
What Kind of Insects Pose a Threat?
Most insect stings in the United States are caused by Hymenoptera—bees, wasps, hornets, yellow-jackets, and in the Southeast, fire ants. Nature has given these insects a toxic substance called venom, which is a powerful defense against their enemies. In humans, insect venom acts on the circulatory system, causing the blood vessels to dilate, or become wider. This effect ensures that the toxin will be carried quickly throughout the bloodstream. The venom also can disrupt blood cells and nerve cells and, in some persons, can trigger a powerful immune response.
What Are the Signs of a Reaction to Insect Venom?
The response triggered by an insect sting can range from relatively mild, local symptoms to a severe allergic reaction. Most people have a local reaction to insect stings, consisting of redness, swelling, and pain or itching in the area around the sting. These symptoms usually resolve without further problems within hours or days. In some people, however, a sting triggers an allergic reaction with severe swelling over a large area of the body.
The first time an allergic reaction occurs, the person becomes "sensitized" to the insect venom. The next time the person is stung, he or she may develop anaphylaxis. This is a systemic reaction—one that affects the entire body—and is a potentially life-threatening condition. Anaphylaxis produces signs and symptoms that require immediate medical attention and that may include:
Hives, itching and swelling over large areas of the body
Tightness in the chest and trouble breathing
Swelling of the tongue
Dizziness or passing out
Sharp drop in blood pressure
Cardiac arrest (heart attack)
How Is a Reaction Treated?
An anaphylactic reaction requires treatment with epinephrine (adrenaline). This is a naturally occurring hormone that helps to ease the effects of the allergic response. The sting victim may also require intravenous fluids and oxygen to assist in breathing.
If you have a large local reaction to an insect sting—such as extreme swelling that takes days or weeks to subside—you may be at risk for anaphylaxis if you are stung again. You should seek medical attention for the reaction from an allergist, who can assess your risk with future stings. The doctor may advise you to carry a kit so that, in the event of a sting, you can inject yourself with epinephrine. You will be taught how and when to use the kit and how to give yourself an injection. If you are squeamish about giving yourself a shot, you may be given a special type of injector that works by simply tapping it against your thigh. It's also a good idea to teach a family member or spouse how to give the injection in case you are unable to do so yourself.
If your doctor finds that you are at risk of experiencing a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis after an insect sting, you may be advised to have immunotherapy. This is a series of vaccinations given in the doctor's office at regular intervals. These shots contain very small amounts of insect venom and over time will desensitize your immune system. Venom immunotherapy is highly effective—up to 97 percent of people who complete the series of shots have a significantly lower risk of a severe reaction to an insect sting.
How Can I Protect Myself?
You can't prevent insect stings with bug spray, but there are some common-sense precautions you can take to lower your chances of getting stung.
The stinging insects love bright colors and sweet smells, so avoid wearing intense colors or perfumes when outdoors.
Don't leave food out in the open if you are camping or picnicking, and keep trash areas neat and tidy.
Always wear shoes outdoors to protect yourself in case you step on a bee or wasp.
If someone near you gets stung, move away from them as quickly as possible—bees and yellow jackets give off a chemical after they sting that arouses other stinging insects that may be in the area. If you are stung, alert others that you may be at risk for a life-threatening reaction.
Use your epinephrine if you have it, and call 911 right away. Honeybees have a barbed stinger that is left behind in the skin. Do not attempt to remove the stinger by pulling it out—this can actually squeeze more of the venom into the sting site. Instead, work out the stinger by teasing or scraping.
As in most health matters, arming yourself with knowledge and taking steps to prevent problems before they occur are the best ways to protect yourself against insect stings. Working together with your doctor and taking necessary precautions will go a long way toward enhancing your enjoyment of warm and sunny days.

"It untrue and that hurts," Tara told us. Watch her clarify the rumors below and where things are with "Sharknado 2":
A rep for Asylum, the production company behind "Sharknado," seemed to support what Tara said, tweeting "@Tara Reid is awesome ... We'd be lucky to have her back for the sequel."

IP Collage
Distinguishes Participation from Interactivity
IP Collage--by Aphid Stern--is a participative net art piece in which the numbers of each visitor's IP address are added to an image. The four 8-bit numbers that make up the address are recontextualized into php's shape functions in the order they are required: x,y,w,h (x,y coordinate pair & width/height) as well as color: r,g,b,a (red, green, blue, alpha) to create a rectangle of a specific color (& transparency) at a specific location. Viewing the piece changes it permanently.
Generally, 'surfing the net' is thought of as a unidirectional process - one navigates information which comes from the server to the user. However, this is not the case. Every time a user visits a page the web browser transmits information - an IP address, information about the browser (make, model, version number, operating system), and referrer information (what was clicked on to get to the current page). This exchange happens unconsciously and the information provided is often aggregated for commercial marketing purposes.
IP Collage is an attempt to explore this exchange which lies beneath all web content and to use it as the basis for a productive relationship. In exchange for their IP address a user is presented with an image they may save to their local drive, print and/or exhibit.
IP Collage is also an attempt to break participation from interactivity. The piece is participative in the sense that the user directs the aesthetic of the piece, yet it manifests as a static PNG image; it is only interactive in as much as the browser provides interactivity - as it does to all images (much in the same way most video is only as interactive as a VCR.. & further establishing the dominant aesthetic of interactivity as navigation).
I have compiled a video archaeology of this piece, compressing the first year of its activity into one hour. Each frame of video represents roughly 4 minutes 33 seconds (a synchronistic testament to John Cage) of time between May 13 02002 and may 13 02003. It is currently in DVD and mpeg-4 formats, and I'm still trying to decide how to make it available as I am somewhat ambivalent about transforming a participative piece into a static video record. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to see it. source code, as usual, is also available upon request.
Home-Maker has a new home online
Home-Maker by Jeanie Finlay is now available to view online
What makes a house a home, how does this change if you can��'��"�t leave?
Home-Maker, the interactive documentary project has been touring UK venues for the last 2 years. At the final venue, Hatton Gallery, a team from Heaton Used furniture came in and turned off the computers, packed up the dolls, furniture and ornaments and dismantled the set as they would whenever they perform a House Clearance. Now the only place to view Home-Maker is online.
In an online flash environment built by Gareth Howell you can visit Florrie, Roy, Lilian, Betty, Aiko-san, Emi-san and Monji-san in their new online home and hear the stories linked to the belongings in their Derbyshire and Tokyo living rooms in over an hour of streaming mini documentaries.
"This largely unprecedented, highly novel approach to portraiture brings up all kinds of touching details of life as it is lived between four walls, amid the dreadfully small collections of significant belongings, haunted by the enduring presence of lost loved ones...." Mick Martin, The Guardian.
Home-Maker is the result of two residencies which took place in the living rooms of seven housebound, older people in South Derbyshire, England, and Tokyo, Japan. Jeanie Finlay spent time with each of the seven people, getting to know their histories, preoccupations and passions, creating video and panoramic portraits of each of them in their homes.
A Ruby project made with Peoplexpress and Muse Company. In association with On the Edge Research. Supported by Arts Council of England , EM Media, UK Film Council, YOTA and Esmée Fairbairn Charitable Trust. Design by Ruby. Flash online exhibition by Gareth Howell.

(re)ACTOR: THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIGITAL LIVE ART
Call for PAPERS, PRESENTATIONS AND PERFORMANCES
(re)ACTOR: THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIGITAL LIVE ART September 11, 2006 The Octagon @ Queen Mary, University of London London, England, UK, Deadline for 2-page submissions 26 May 2006. In cooperation with HCI 2006: ENGAGE; The 20th British HCI Group conference in co-operation with ACM
DIGITAL LIVE ART is the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), live art and computing. This conference seeks to bring together practitioners and academics from the varying worlds of live art, computing and human-computer interaction for a lively debate and event which will explore this emerging field. Our specific context focuses on club cultures as a living context for digital live arts practices. Our expected outcomes are to create a community of digital live artists and to present strategies for designing, developing and evaluating Digital Live Art. Such an event provides an opportunity to open up conversations between digital art and live performance and will allow us to explore how it is used to increase our understanding of human-computer interaction in general.
The notion of Digital Live Art is that of a hybrid art form which focuses on presence and presupposes the digital as a way of making live engagements. Our particular interest is in exploring the relationship that develops between performers, participants and observers within playful contexts and how Digital Live Art may move people to performative interaction and communal engagement.
The conference will include both daytime presentations and an evening ambient after party. The daytime event will include a keynote panel with Charles Kriel, Philip Auslander, and Jon Dovey.

As the nation continues to focus on promoting a healthy America, local cities are bolstering community awareness through special programs.
In recognition of the city's efforts, Price's wellness program was recently honored by Select Health.
Price was chosen to receive the statewide Select 25 award for encouraging healthy behaviors in the city's employees and the local community.
The award is presented to 25 groups at locations throughout Utah.
According to a press release issued by the Price City Council, the winners will receive $2,500 to further the cause as part the award.
Recipients will be recognized at an awards luncheon on May 27 in Salt Lake City.
Price's wellness council has been in place since 2005 with 10 members comprised of city employees along with an elected official.
Presently, the chair of the council is Ron Brewer, supervisor of the city's water treatment plant.
Committee members generally meet the first Wednesday of the month.
Emphasizing healthy lifestyles, the groups has been involved in:
Wellness screenings.
Safe work and environment programs.
Healthy walks.
No weight gain contests.
Tobacco cessation programs.
Healthy snack policies.
Health and wellness incentive rebate programs.
Price city will celebrate the award by offering a community walk punch card pass to residents interested in the program.
Participants will receive a walking stick, sling pack or pillow ball for completing the majority of walks.
Walking locations include local historic areas, parks, cemeteries, Price city facilities, cove basin, the Helper parkway, College of Eastern Utah and business loop
Americans throughout the United States are realizing the need to increase heart health and a wealth of information regarding the subject is posted across the web.
"If you are not convinced about the need to develop an exercise program for your life, you can at least try following some of these tips in your everyday routine," states the online exploration of heart health at www.fi.edu. "Take advantage of any opportunity for exercise."
The site recommends:
Taking the stairs instead of an elevator at school or the mall.
People should start with one flight of stairs.
Parking motor vehicles at the far end of parking lots when shopping.
The walk will help the heart.
Spending a few minutes of daily lunch breaks strolling around a local park.
The community walks program will start June 16 and end Aug. 1.
Interested residents may visit the Price City Hall for maps of activities, punch card passes or other detail.

Still have presents to buy? You'll need to be quick! To help you win the race to get those final gifts here are some mathematically sporty books by some of our favourite Plus authors!In the brilliant Taking chances John Haigh gives a brilliant introduction to probability and its role in the lottery, quiz shows, games and all types of sport. Haigh has also written two excellent books with Rob Eastaway, How to take a penalty: The mathematical curiosities of sport and The hidden mathematics of sport.
If football in particular is the passion of your intended recipient, we recommend How to score: science and the beautiful game by Ken Bray. And for a mathematical book, filled with football inspired illustrations of mathematical ideas, there's The Num8ber My5teries by Marcus du Sautoy.
All our sport knowledge comes from our neighbour and boss, John D. Barrow, who often drops in to convey the latest mathematical news from the world of physical activity. One of our favourite stories was how he discovered a new rowing rig by analysing the maths of the ideal positioning of rowers. You can read 99 other fascinating facts in his book 100 Essential Things you didn't know you didn't know about sport.
And of course, you can read more about the mathematics of sport on Plus and the Sportal.

"A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas."
Shane Shambhu as Ramanujan and David Annan as Hardy in the play A disappearing number. Photo: Tristram Kenton.
This beautiful sentence is from G.H. Hardy's 1940 essay A mathematician's apology. The work was Hardy's attempt to justify the pursuit of pure maths to non-mathematicians and to explain its motivation. It focuses on the beauty of maths and, unlike many other attempts to make maths appear attractive, takes pride in the un-applicability of pure maths — partly because something that has no applications can't do any harm. It's an understandable sentiment for a pacifist like Hardy at the time of WWII. And although Hardy was proved very wrong about the "purity" of his own field, number theory, which is today used in cryptography, it's still a fascinating and thought-provoking read.
In the Apology Hardy also mentions the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, who played a defining part in Hardy's mathematical life:
"I still say to myself when I am depressed, and find myself forced to listen to pompous and tiresome people, 'Well, I have done one the thing you could never have done, and that is to have collaborated with both Littlewood and Ramanujan on something like equal terms.'"
Hardy's collaboration with the self-taught Indian genius was remarkable. It inspired the 2008 play, A disappearing number, which we explored in this Plus article. You can also listen to our podcast with actor and mathematician Victoria Gould reading a section from the foreword to Hardy's Apology.

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887 - 1920).
December 22nd would have been the 127th birthday of the legendary Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. His story really is remarkable. Born in 1887 in a small village around 400km from Madras (now Chennai), Ramanujan developed a passion for maths very early on. By age 15 he routinely solved maths problems that went way beyond what his classmates were dealing with. He worked out his own method for solving quartic equations, for example, and even had a go at quintic ones (and failed of course, since the general quintic is unsolvable). But since he neglected all other subjects apart from maths, Ramanujan never got into university, and was forced to continue studying maths alone and in poverty. Only after a plea to an eminent mathematician, who described Ramanujan as "A short uncouth figure, stout, unshaven, not over clean," did Ramanujan eventually get a job as a clerk at the Madras Port Trust.
It was during his time at the Port Trust that Ramanujan decided to write a letter that was to change his life. It was addressed to the famous Cambridge number theorist G. H. Hardy who, accustomed to this early-twentieth-century form of spam, was irritated at first: a letter from an unknown Indian containing crazy-looking theorems and no proofs at all. But as he went about his day, Hardy couldn't quite forget about the script:
At the back of his mind [...] the Indian manuscript nagged away. Wild theorems. Theorems such as he had never seen before, nor imagined. A fraud of genius? A question was forming itself in his mind. As it was Hardy's mind, the question was forming itself with epigrammatic clarity: is a fraud of genius more probable than an unknown mathematician of genius? Clearly the answer was no. Back in his rooms in Trinity, he had another look at the script. He sent word to Littlewood that they must have a discussion after hall...
Apparently it did not take them long. Before midnight they knew, and knew for certain. The writer of these manuscripts was a man of genius.
From the foreword by C. P. Snow to Hardy's A Mathematician's Apology
Hardy invited Ramanujan to Cambridge, and on March 17, 1914 Ramanujan set sail for England to start one of the most fascinating collaborations in the history of maths. Right from the start the pair produced important results and Ramanujan made up for the gaps in his formal maths education by taking a degree in Cambridge. Perhaps the most famous story to emerge from this period has Hardy visiting Ramanujan as he lay ill in bed. Hardy complained that the number of the taxi he had arrived in, 1729, was a boring number, and that he worried this was a bad omen. "No," Ramanujan replied, apparently without hesitation. "It is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways":
Unfortunately, Ramanujan's sickness wasn't a one-off. His health had always been feeble, and the cold weather and unaccustomed English food didn't help. Ramanujan decided to return to India in 1919 and died the following year, aged only 33. He is still celebrated as one of India's greatest mathematicians.

Still looking for a special present for a special person? Then what about a Gömböc: this strange egg-like shape wriggles around with an apparent will of its own and, even better, barely exists at all.
A Gömböc is a 3D convex shape with one stable and one unstable equilibrium point. The reason it wriggles around when you put it down is that it's "trying to" rest on its stable equilibrium point, and since there's only one of them it takes a little dance to find it. for other objects this doesn't happen because they have more stable equilibrium points, so all they need to do to find one when you put them down in an unstable position is fall over. If you change a Gömböc even only a tiny bit, you'll create extra equilibrium points or stop it from being convex, so you'll stop it from being a Gömböc. This is why Gömböcs teeter on the brink of existence — the smallest change and they're gone.
For a very long time people believed that Gömböcs didn't exist, but recently the Hungarian mathematicians Gábor Domokos and Péter Várkonyi proved that they did (find out more here). You can purchase your very own Gömböc on the Gömböc website (though be warned, it's a little pricey!).

If you're feeling a bit weary in the run up to Christmas (I know we are!) we thought you might like to put your feet up and have a cup of tea instead of whatever it is you are working on. You can relax because every thing you've ever produced or will produce is already encoded in a number known as Champernowne's constant, consisting of every positive whole number listed after the decimal point:
This is because this number is normal, which implies it contains a copy of every finite string of numbers in its infinite decimal expansion. This includes every article we have ever written or will write, every song anyone's composed, every film shot, every report written and every spreadsheet created, translated into numerical form (as it would be when stored on a computer). Lots of more famous numbers, such as , e and are also thought to be normal. In fact although mathematicians know almost every number is normal, they have only been able to prove this is true for a handful.
Unfortunately for you, and for us as we try to finish a few more articles before Christmas, even though all the work we will ever write is already present in the digits of Champernowne's number, we aren't going to be able to head to the pub just yet. Our articles and everyone else's work are swamped by every other possible string of numbers and we're going to have to produce them the hard way after all.
The idea is beautifully explored by the Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges in his short story "The Library of Babel" (published in the anthology Fiocciones). His library contains every book that is possible to write in a given alphabet, shelved in a seemingly endless complex of connected identical rooms (it looks a bit like the strange book filled place Matthew McConaughey found himself in towards the end of the Interstellar). The librarians were initially overjoyed to discover that the library contained every possible book. But their joy soon turned to despair when they realised that virtually all the books in the library would be nonsensical, the pages randomly filled with letters. They would spend their lives journeying through the endless identical rooms in a quest to find meaning among the books, knowing they were almost certain never to find it.
Borges' writings are full of such inventive and poetic explorations of philosophical and moral ideas. We came across this beautiful story when writing about normality and randomness for our book Numericon, and ended up devouring the rest of Fiocciones and have since gone on to read many others. You can also read more about the maths behind this story in The amazing librarian on Plus.

During each treatment, radiation passes through the skin located in the treatment field. It is likely that there will be some reaction to the skin that will begin to occur during the second week of treatment. You may notice that your skin is red, irritated, peeling, tanned, or appears to be sunburned. Skin reaction may be greater in people who have fair skin. Tere are many measures that you can take in order to protect your skin.
The skin reaction may increase until about seven days after your last treatment and then begin to go away. The skin will always be a little thinner and dryer. It may be more prone to infection and breakdown. Protect it with sunscreen in the summer.

By TOM McCOURTSun Advocate reporter
The Price River Water Improvement District board addressed the agency's agreements with two cities on Tuesday.
One item related to a 2004 water purchase by Helper. The other matter related to the receipt of payments for water and sewer services in Wellington.
In summer 2004, Helper bought water from PRWID to supplement a shortage in the city water supply.
PRWID sold the water at a rate that was later determined to be too low.
Since the original agreement, PRWID presented Helper with an additional bill.
For several weeks, there has been an ongoing discussion about the increase in the bill and how the balance due was calculated.
A committee was established to propose a resolution.
A formula was established using the amount of water Helper used during the period in question, the gallons produced by the town's system, the amount of water supplemented by PRWID and the total number of hookups served by the city.
After a review, it was determined that Helper owes PRWID an additional $18,738 for the water purchased.
The determination raised questions about the formula used, how the numbers were determined, the volume of water the city produced within the period in question and how the matter could be best resolved.
Helper officials have proposed to temporarily sign over 200 shares of water to PRWID.
The proposal is that PRWID could lease the city's water out during a period of eight or nine years and keep the money to pay Helper's bill.
PRWID board member Karl Houskeeper questioned the district's willingness to use the water share lease money to stretch the payment over a period of eight or nine years.
Houskeeper pointed out that Wellington, where he serves as mayor, was given only a period of months to pay delinquent bills and he felt there are inequities in the way Helper's billing would be handled by the proposal.
Board member Tom Matthews explained that the Wellington and Helper situations are different.
Matthews said there had actually been a mistake in the bill sent to Helper and the city was now attempting to resolve the issue in good faith.
"Helper city feels that we don't owe anything. We paid the bill you sent the first time. We are just trying to work this out. We can go to court if you want," said Bonacci.
"PRWID quoted a price and you should stick with it. Someone needs to bite the bullet on this," added board member Tony Gonzales, who also sits on the city council in Helper.
PRWID attorney Nick Sampinos noted that a mistake had been made and Helper's offer, as presented, was a good way to resolve the issue.
Sampinos asked if the formula used to determine the addition to the bill was acceptable to both parties.
Bonacci said Helper had agreed to the formula as it was presented and the city's officials had agreed to pay the additional $18,000.
PRWID board member Keith Cox indicated that a new draft agreement could be drawn up by the attorneys and presented for both parties to sign.
The recommendation was passed as a resolution.
The focus at the Nov. 1 meeting then turned to the matter of allowing Helper to pay the bill through the leasing of 200 water shares.
PRWID assistant manager Jeff Richens said the water could be leased for an estimated $10 to $15 per share per year. Using the lowest figure, the payout of Helper's bill would take about nine years.
Matthews proposed that the board accept the draft agreement as explained, including the 200 water shares.
The resolution passed, with Houskeeper voting no.
Richens then explained that the agreement was only a settlement solution and not a long-term agreement. Cox said that the board would draw up a regular agreement with Helper to resolve any billing questions in the future.
PRWID manager Phil Palmer reminded everyone that the final agreement must first be approved by the Helper Council and then brought back to the PRWID board for final approval.
As a separate matter, the board addressed the issue of service agreements with Wellington and outstanding utility bills.
Houskeeper, said that Wellington was willing to accept a first proposal of the service agreement as it had been presented, but were unwilling to accept changes made in a second draft.
Sampinos told the board that addenda to the original agreement had not been made yet and the second document was only a committee proposal. Cox said that the board would need to review the original agreement again and he asked that a review be put on the agenda for the next board meeting.
The focus then turned to the issue of delinquent utility bills owed by Wellington, an amount which exceeds $100,000.
Richens told the board that the amount due was calculated on actual meter readings and an estimate of sewer usage based on a previous four month average. He reported that an agreement had been reached between Wellington and PRWID in February that the bill would be paid down by January 2006.
Houskeeper said that the water bill payments from Wellington were on track.
However, Richens said that the sewer bill was still six months in arrears. He also pointed out that in the agreement reached in February, both the water and sewer bills were to be presented for board review each quarter.
Cox said that according to the billing report, Wellington was not on track with their promised payments.
Houskeeper remained unchanged on his opinion of the payments, citing that according to the Wellington city recorder, Ken Powell, the payments were on track.
Cox then asked Richens to contact Powell to ask if the bill would be paid on time or not. He asked that the issue be put on the agenda of the next meeting and Richens is to report the outcome of his meeting with the Wellington city manager.
In an unrelated matter, the board considered a proposal to draft a subdivision approval letter. The letter had been requested by Carbon County as a way for PRWID to give preliminary approval for future subdivisions. Richens presented the board with a draft of a form letter for their review. The board discussed the procedures and the letter.
It was decided that a developer checklist will to be given to each developer planning to build in the county. The checklist will include PRWID and county requirements for water, sewer and fire flow. The developer will be required to present a development proposal to PRWID who will then review the plans and issue a letter of preliminary acceptance. The letter will be presented to the county planning and zoning board and will give cursory approval and list areas of concern or deficiency.
One item of debate was the use of standards. It was pointed out that PRWID, state and county standards are not always the same. The board agreed to ask the county for a list of county standards to be used in drafting the developer checklist.
Cox said that the board would review the county standards at the next board meeting. He said that PRWID approval for new subdivisions would come in two parts. The first letter would give only conceptual approval for the developer to take to the planning and zoning board. Then, after a zoning and planning review and a formal engineer study, the board will draft a letter of final approval.
Palmer added that a procedure should be established for the developer to sign for the checklist and information packet to prevent any misunderstandings and to be sure that a developer had copies of the standards and requirements. He said that the developer's signature would indicate intent to comply. He also stated that all issues should be fully addressed in the final approval letter.

...you know Cirrus would gobble him up and make him a CAPS promo pilot now. ha! Glad they were both ok
Why didn't they try an off airport landing, it looks pretty open around them from what I can see in the picture. I know I wasn't there but its just a thought.
Sounds like he knew exactly what he was doing. Only has a black eye. May have made a nice off airport landing and saved a nice airplane.....may have made an off airport landing and have a dead pilot and pax.........coin toss
Always good to hear storys like this. I hope I could be that calm about it.
seems like alot of people who have caps find a way to use it.........

The aircraft crash incident near Gilgandra yesterday (21/11/2012) serves as a timely reminder to issue (re-issue) the following Safety Information.
Some civil general aviation aircraft types; ultra-light aircraft; some types of hang gliders and gyrocopters are filled with Rocket-deployed emergency recovery parachutes.
These parachute systems are designed to recover the aircraft and passengers to the ground if a serious in-flight emergency arises.
In the case of yesterday's Gilgandra Incident, initial reports indicate that the aircraft's recovery parachute system was the major contributory fact in saving the life of the two persons onboard, after they experienced an in-flight engine failure.
These parachute systems are launched by a rocket installed in the aircraft. Therefore presenting an inherent danger to responding Police & Emergency service personnel to aircraft crashes.
Care should be exercised when working near aircraft wreckage, especially with aircraft fitted with these systems as they may be in a non activated state and rescue / investigative operations have the potential to activate them.
good job....I hope his friend is a pretty understanding person...lol....I also hope he doesn't act like a stiff if his friend ask to use his plane...lol
I was told that your Cirrus was permanently unusable after a CAPS deployment landing. Not sure if this is true.
they say it totals it
Well if the plane is totalled (and the pilot would be aware of that because of the training etc), then wouldn't it be a better bet to try a dead-stick landing in the paddock he ended up in? I always thought the parachute thingy was for absolutely the last resort, when a wing comes off or somesuch.
Well when was the last time you heard of a wing falling off of a plane???...Most people who started flying in a cessna, piper, beechcraft etc. were taught that if you have absolutely exhausted all of your options and must land in a field that it is just safer to land going with as supposed to against the layout of the field because you never know for sure what the level of each row in the field is...Some fields are flat while others may drop 5-10ft between each level for irrigation purposes...With that being said in the article it says that the gear crumpled "like it should have"...Reading that portion of the article would leads me to believe that the gear on these (cirrus) aircraft aren't designed to be as rigid as the gear on their counterparts....Waying the options and knowing that their only real option was the field the pilot probably felt it was safer to pull the chute as supposed to attempting a landing in a field that he didn't know the conditions of and running the chance rolling the plane on the ground because of either one of the gear digging into the ground.
well unfortunately stuff happens; I feel bad for them and their families
""Mr Nixon has a black eye and a bruise on his chin,caused when his knee flew up during the impact""
No injuries? - Holly Hell, how many people can touch their eyeball with their knee?
I am pretty sure he felt it the next day
I'm glad the chute worked and they weren't serously injured but____the place the aircraft is sitting looks longer, wider,and smoother than some of the dirt strips I used to fly out of,---------just sayin.

NEWPORT–In between the Crusaders' doubleheader with Mid-Vermont Christian Academy, the United Christian Academy was presented with the 2012 Mona Gerome Award.
The winner of the award is determined by basketball referees throughout the state who vote on which school most exemplifies an excellence in sportsmanship throughout the season.
"It means a lot to win this award, and I would like to thank the officials for selecting us" said athletic director Linda Curtis. "Our chant is represent, and I have always been a stickler for represent, I have been a stickler for sportsmanship and I am pleased that all our work paid off."
Alyssa DeLaBruere, who coaches both the boy's soccer team, and now the girls basketball team said, "You know that at UCA the win on the scoreboard is always secondary. Our program is all about playing a competitive game with good sportsmanship.
"First and foremost we are representing God, we're representing our school and we are representing ourselves, so I know we have a great group of kids. They exude sportsmanship and today it's wonderful that somebody else recognizes it because I have seen it for years."
"This shows what type of school UCA is and what sports mean to them," said senior Hannah Piette. "It is not necessarily about winning, but about doing your best, not putting your teammates down and fighting hard until the end."
Senior Marc Quirion said on winning the award, "It is awesome. I think we have always tried to show good sportsmanship. We have had our ups and downs, but overall this is a great honor."
Coach Tony DeLaBruere was impressed by the honor, and touched on the previous season's accomplishment.
"It is a huge honor. This is not something that happens every year, it is something they (the officials) choose to hand out as they deem appropriate.
"As they said, it is a huge tribute to our athletic director, our program, the school itself and the coaches involved."
He continued, "This is from last year, so Sarah Roy had a large part in this, so it was a group effort obviously, and it is a proud honor to accept this award."
On a side note, Curtis will be stepping down as AD after this season.
Curtis has held the position for the ten last years, and will miss her time serving at the post.
"It has been wonderful, and the best ten years of my life," Curtis said.
A new athletic director has not been named at this time.
Congratulations to UCA for representing the community, as well as the entire Northeast Kingdom, with their exemplary behavior while competing in their athletic

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Adult Probation and Parole officers Wednesday arrested an East Carbon man wanted for questioning in connection with a beating and stabbing incident in that city Saturday.
According to East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard, agents arrested Leo Maestas, 42, for questioning after the assault put 61-year-old Roy Collins in Castleview Hospital. The incident occurred in Collins' home.
The chief reported that Maestas allegedly "pistol whipped" and stabbed Collins multiple times after gaining entrance to the older man's residence.
"At this point we don't know why Roy let him in," said Leonard. "We don't have Leo's side of the story. However, we do have information that Collins did allegedly let Maestas into his home voluntarily."
Collins and Maestas share an ongoing history of violence which came to a head several years ago when another aggravated assault case involving the two men was put before Carbon County Attorney Gene Strate. No charges were filed by Strate in that case because of questions arising from self defense issues, Leonard explained.
The latest fight reportedly left Collins hospitalized with blunt trauma injuries and stab wounds to the arms, legs and face.
"At this point, all we know is that Roy let Leo in and the altercation took place from there," said Leonard. "We will know more once Leo is brought in and we can get his version of the incident. Until then, it's too early to draw any conclusions about someone trying to settle a score."
Leonard reported that several organizations including AP&P assisted in the hunt for Maestas.
Collins is recovering after being transported to the hospital, released, and returning after experiencing problems.

LISBON – The Planning Board and Town Council are looking for a suitable time to meet within the near future to discuss potential revisions to the mandate of the Planning Board.
Newly appointed co-liaison to the Planning Board Town Council Member Gary J. Jarvis said, We all need to sit down and talk about it.
Mr. Jarvis serves as liaison to the Planning Board along with Council Member Susan M. Duffy.
The Council requested Code Enforcement Officer Christopher J. Sherwin make recommendations about limiting the powers of the Planning Board in September.
Mr. Sherwins recommendations, presented in December, included placing the authority over granting residential building permits entirely within the jurisdiction of the code enforcement officer without Planning Board oversight, and removing the requirement that new building projects are begun on land that is at least an acre.
The Town Council decided to wait until they get a chance to meet with the Planning Board before voting on any of the proposals.
While Planning Board President Steven Wallace said he hasnt officially seen Mr. Sherwins proposals, he is wary of changes that could potentially lead to increased housing density by removing the one acre minimum law.
You start creating dense housing situations and youve got a problem, Mr. Wallace said at Mondays Board meeting. Youre going to have to set up municipal water and sewer if you start putting up high density housing in certain areas.
Mr. Wallace said he appreciates the Councils desire to see the tax levy increased with new residents, but argued that Lisbon residents dont want a village.
But Town Council Member Alan D. Dailey said, The only way we can get taxes down is to try and increase the tax base. We have 3 choices every year: you either raise taxes, cut services, or increase the tax base.
To that end Mr. Dailey is open to suggestions that would remove the one acre minimum law, but said he wants to hear from the Planning Board first hand at the meeting which is yet to be determined.
The sooner the better, Mr. Wallace said.
Planning Board Secretary Patrick M. Madlins official resignation was also confirmed by Town Council Member Gary J. Jarvis.
Mr. Madlin initially announced his resignation in November but the Town Council was unable to find a replacement because he failed to turn in official paperwork
. The Town Council will now begin looking to fill his position.
Planning Board Member Glen Harris had also signified his intention to resign through Mr. Madlin in October and stopped attending meetings. However, he has yet to turn in official paperwork to that end and Mr. Wallace said Mr. Harris may be reconsidering his decision.

Hi there,
I'm curious on the opinion of you Pit owners if you believe this little girl who is listed as a Pharaoh/Pit mix actually looks very Pit like. The reason I ask is because I believe if she's just listed as Pharaoh mix and DOESN'T look too Pit like then perhaps the apartment complex I live in won't give me grief. If she does look too Pit then I won't put her through the process of finding a home just to lose it again, despite what her paperwork states.
I was thinking she may be able to pass as Pharaoh and Boxer - which isn't listed on the banned list for the complex.
What do you guys and gals think? I appreciate the feedback!

Nourish All-In-One Facial Cleanser
This simply formulated, water-soluble cleanser is a very good (and inexpensive) option for normal to dry or combination skin.
Nourish Oil-Free Antioxidant Facial Moisturizer
This lightweight, generously-sized facial moisturizer may seem like a beauty bargain, and to some extent it is

Trader Joe's At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection; good cleanser and shave cream.
Weaknesses: Limited options; body-care formulas contain irritating fragrant oils; Trader Joe's is better for groceries than skin care.
California-based specialty grocer chain Trader Joe's isn't the first place you may think of when shopping for skin care, and rightly so: the bulk of this store's inventory is, not surprisingly, foods and beverages. However, they've recently ventured into sun care and offer a couple of worthwhile, inexpensive sunscreens as well as a remarkable facial cleanser. The sunscreens from TJ's we recommend aren't knock-your-socks-off spectacular, but are quite the beauty bargain. If you have a Trader Joe's in your neighborhood, some of the sunscreens are definitely worth a look, especially if you have a family to cover from head to toe during summer months when more of us are outdoors for long periods of time. For more information about Trader Joe's, visit www.traderjoes.com.
