Intro to Knots
Links on this site:
On this page you can view each of the following topics, just click to jump to each section:
1) What is a "mathematical" knot? [^back to top]
In order to get started working with knots, we need to understand what mathematicians mean by the term "knots". A "mathematical" knot is just slightly different from the knots we see and use every day.
First, take a piece of string or rope. Tie a knot in it. Now, glue or tape the ends together. You have created a mathematical knot.
The last step, joining the ends of the rope, is what differentiates mathematical knots from regular knots. The kinds of knots mathematicians work with are always formed on a closed loop (no loose ends).
What does that mean? Well, a loop like the one at the left is considered a knot in mathematical knot theory (it is a simple closed curve in 3-dimensional space). In fact this knot has a special name: The unknot. The unknot can be drawn with no crossings, and is also called a trivial knot. It is the simplest of all knots.
2) The Central Problem of Knot Theory [^back to top]
The central problem of Knot Theory is determining whether two knots can be rearranged (without cutting) to be exactly alike.
A special case of this problem is one of the fundamental questions of Knot Theory: Given a knot, is it the unknot? Now, for a simple loop, that's an easy question. But, take for example the trefoil knot animated at the top of the page. Is it possible to transform this knot so that it looks like the unknot? Tie a trefoil knot yourself and see if you can untangle it to form a simple circular loop.
When we actually start trying to untangle and rearrange knots to look like one another, we begin what can seem like a very complicated process. Mathematicians were perplexed at the seemingly unending number of ways a knot could be shaped and turned. What was needed was a simple set of rules for working with knots.
Finally, German mathematician Kurt Reidemeister (1893-1971) proved that all the different transformations on knots could be described in terms of three simple moves. The next section will give us the simple tools we need to begin working with knots in a mathematical context.
3) How do we work with knots? (The Reidemeister moves) [^back to top]
In 1926, Kurt Reidemeister (ride-a-my-stir) proved that if we have different representations (or projections) of the same knot, we can get one to look like the other using just three simple types of moves.
These three types of moves are called Reidemeister moves. The Activities Page contains knot activities that have you use these three moves to find out if two knots are indeed equivalent.
4) Classifying different knots [^back to top]
One of the first objectives mathematicians wished to achieve in working with knots was formulating tables of distinct knots. To be able to classify knots, it is easiest if we work with only one projection (or representation) of each knot to avoid duplication.
First, we must "simplify" the knot as much as possible. This means we use the Reidemeister moves (from above) to get as few crossings in the knot as possible. Once we simplify the knot so that we cannot remove any further crossings, the knot is classified by the number of crossings that remain. For example, the trefoil knot is classified by its fewest number of crossings - three (see the diagram below).
Sometimes it is possible to have more than one knot with the same number of crossings. In this case, we usually use subscripts to denote different knots with the same number of crossings, such as the 51 and 52 knots in the diagram below:
The Activities Page has links to two different tables of knots classified as described above. These tables can help you see how to get started forming and working with different knots.
5) Properties of knots [^back to top]
We can change the way a knot looks so much that it can be hard to tell what we started with. So, what stays the same about a knot in different projections?
Knots have some properties that depend only on the knot itself and not on how it is looking at any particular moment. These properties are called invariants of the knot.
One invariant is the minimal crossing number. The minimal crossing number of a knot is the least number of crossings that appear in any projection of the knot. For example, the unknot has a minimal crossing number of 0. The trefoil knot has a minimal crossing number of 3. The classifications in number 4 above rely on this minimal crossing number. No matter how much we tangle a knot (without cutting), it can always be simplified to its minimal number of crossings using the Reidemeister moves.
Another invariant is the unknotting number. The unknotting number is the least number of crossing changes necessary to turn a knot into the unknot. By "crossing changes" we mean changing the orientation of two strings where they cross. The trefoil knot can be unknotted by changing only one crossing from under to over, so the trefoil knot has an unknotting number of 1 (try this to verify it).
6) Close cousins - Knots vs. Links
[^back to top]
A link is a collection of knots; the individual knots which make up a link are called the components of the link. This specific link shown above is known as the Borromean Rings.
An interesting fact about the Borromean Rings: If you remove one of the component loops, the other two loops will no longer be connected! An interesting question: Can the Borromean Rings be formed using 3 flat closed loops? Not sure? Give it a try!
Just as mathematicians try to untangle knots to form the unknot, we try to separate links to form the "unlink". A link is referred to as splittable if the component loops can be separated without cutting.
Once you understand the basics of what a knot is and how we
tell if knots are the same, try the KT Activities Page or go
straight on to Advanced KT for knot arithmetic, wild knots, and

Very cute gilet! Bought as a present for a 6month old. Gorgeous car design and fleece lining very soft. Will be great on days when it's a little cool but not cold enough for a thick jacket.
on 25 March 2014
It is a beautiful piece, very practical too! Easy to put on my little one and to fit in the bag. Essential for all those moments when it is getting a just a bit colder.

This Gilet is perfect for days when it's not quite cold enough for a coat, it fits my 8 month old perfectly and will be ideal as we come into spring.
on 09 March 2014
Lovely car design and nice warm fleece lining - a perfect warm layer.
on 04 March 2014
This is the second Jo-Jo gilet I have brought for my son after he grew out of his previous size, so I am a big fan! They are very handy as an extra layer, and look really smart. Practically they are easy to wipe off odd bits of dirt, etc, and they are well sized. All in all a great purchase as a non-restrictive warm layer.
on 24 January 2014
Lovely - generous size, warm and snuggly

Lovely item, so nice I purchased two!

Great coats - so many uses all year round - extra layer in winter and for cooler summer days. Wear and wash well. Sizing seems true to size. Another great coat and a great price in the sale. Thanks JoJo

A lovely jacket, warm for winter and hard wearing.
on 10 February 2013
Lovely quality jacket. Bought matching mittens and hat, look great together. Will keep my little girl snug!
Joanna Stone

This is such a lovely cosy jacket. My grandaughter had already had one when she was a year old. We liked it so much we bought it again now she's two.
on 28 January 2013
I ordered the purple fleece in the sale. It was good value at the price, but I found the purple too vivid. I also felt that the fleece would be a more suitable weight for spring or autumn. As a result I have returned it and bought a heavier jacket.
on 24 January 2013
This is a gorgeous jacket. I bought it in the purple which goes lovely with my daughters red hair. It's a great size with plenty of growing room. The fleece is excellent quality as always and is a must have for any toddler. The only thing I would improve is to add some of the folded down mittens that the all in ones have.
on 23 January 2013
Fantastic coat, very warm and snug, my little girl loves it
Helen Pett
on 22 January 2013
Just fabulous kit! Been out in the snow this week with this jacket, matching trousers and Jojo's waterproof trousers on top. Our 2 year old was as warm as toast and very happy. Fabulous quality as ever and value for money as will last at least a year. We have passed on all our Jojo stuff to friends with little girls and it is still going strong.

Lovely coat, nice and warm for Winter and those cold Autumn/Spring days. Lovely colour, and a great layer for throwing on.
on 19 January 2013
A lovely warm fleecy coat for my daughter. It has a zip inside but I'm not sure if the buttons are needed too.
Lynn Smith

This is the second polarfleece duffle jacket we have bought. We bought the purple one in a 4-5yrs for my slim to average sized 3ry old granddaughter. The size is a little big but looks fine with the sleeves turned up, the smaller size would have been to small. The colour really suits her and she has the matching polarfleece trousers. we got them in the sale so represent very good value for money. The last lot we bought at full price and would do so again. She has the purple stripe scarf, mittens and tie hat and everyone comments on how nice she looks also keeping her nice and warm in this cold weather. Have not yet washed this one but the last set she had washed really well, she had them for two yrs and we then sold them on as they were in such good condition. I would recommend the polarfleece items for any active kids who like going to the woods or parks, or just a shopping trip.
Lorna Harding
on 17 January 2013
Brilliant coat!!! We've even bought one in the sales in a size bigger for next year!!! Very cozy (well it looks it anyway!) and our little girl seems suitably warm. And it looks great too!
on 17 January 2013
Absolutely LOVE these. I bought one after loving the all in one fleeces so much, they are warm but lightweight and so snuggly I want one for myself! I also bought the polar fleece trousers to match. Lovely and washes well, drying very quickly.
on 16 January 2013
Warm, soft, comfortable and easy to put on. Looks super cute! Very pleased with the purchase. Would recommend.
on 14 January 2013
Lovely fleece. Have the all in one for my little boy which keeps him nice and toasty, so thought I would get him another polar fleece for when he outgrows the all in one, plus got one for my daughter. They also wash really well and dry super quickly. Would like one for myself

Love these coats .warm and cosy
on 12 January 2013
Very pretty and cosy. Would recommend. sizing good.
Mrs A Watson
on 11 January 2013
Lovely bright colours that do not fade. Very hard wearing a really warm, jacket you can throw on everyday. I buy new ones everytime she grows!
on 08 January 2013
I ordered the 1-2yr pink floral coat for my 19 month old daughter, it is roomy and has plenty of room to grow. Really pleased with this coat, it's a nice bright design and is warm without being too heavy so will be good as a spring jacket too. Lovely quality and so soft. The toggles give it that traditional look but the zip makes it easy to put on. Will definitely order another when my daughter needs the next size, Jo Jo coats are much better quality than others I've bought!
Mummy to 2 lovely little ones
on 07 January 2013
Fab coats, had these for both my boy and girl, can't rate them highly enough. Wash and wear well.
Jennie Artiss
on 07 January 2013
I love these jackets and so does my daughter. This is the third one she's had. They are cosy and easy to put on. Plus they come in a range of colours which means they're easy to spot in the nursery cloakroom! This is the last one I'll get as it's the biggest size but I'm hoping it will last her two winters.
Sylwia Baj

Wonderful jacket, I love it!Very warm and soft.Very nice desing.
Yvonne hazelden
on 04 January 2013
Look great and keep looking great keeps little ones warm whilst not being bulky and restrictive. I just wish they came in bigger sizes I've found nothing as great as these for my little boy who is now just too big.
Lynsey helme
on 04 January 2013
Recently bought this duffle jacket in the grape colour for my 16 month old daughter and I am really pleased with it. Lovely and cosy and a beautiful colour, goes really well with her polar fleece hat and gloves in the floral stripe pattern!

FAIRFIELD — A July 5 guided hike will take place in the King-Swett ranches in the hills that separate Fairfield, Vallejo and Benicia.
The hike will be led by Jim Walsh on the Solano Land Trust properties from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Walsh will discuss the birds and wildlife in the area while he and hikers cover 4 to 6 miles off-trail, going up and down rugged hills. Views on a clear day include Mount Diablo, the Suisun Marsh, the distant Sierra Nevadas and, from the western edge of the Vallejo-Swett Ranch, Mount Tamalpais, San Francisco and San Pablo bays and the Napa River.
No reservations are necessary but an RSVP would be appreciated to Walsh at [email protected] or 916-870-4824. The hike is free but donations are welcome, a Solano Land Trust press release said.
Hikers will meet Walsh at the park-and-ride lot where McGary Road, Hiddenbrooke Parkway and American Canyon Road intersect off Interstate 80. Be ready to carpool or caravan from there to the trailhead.

Queen Elizabeth to visit with Pope in April
Catholic World News - February 04, 2014
Queen Elizabeth will visit the Vatican and meet with Pope Francis in April, Buckingham Palace has announced.
The 87-year-old British monarch plans a one-day trip to Italy on April 3. She is scheduled to meet with Pope Francis in the afternoon, after a lunch with Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano.
Queen Elizabeth has not met Pope Francis. She has visited the Vatican three times—in 1961, 1980, and 2000—and met there with Popes John XXIII and John Paul II.

EAST PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Anthony Stanis can still look back clearly over the years, back to when he was young and a soldier in World War II.
ŌĆ£I ended up working in intelligence and reconnaissance,ŌĆØ Stanis, now 91 years old, was saying last week. ŌĆ£I got drafted into the Army on April FoolŌĆÖs Day, 1942. We did a lot of training all over the states. We were learning how to fight in the desert because thatŌĆÖs where the fighting was over in North Africa. But then the Germans sank a couple of troop ships and we got delayed. In the meantime, we knocked the Germans out of North Africa. The Army sent us to West Virginia, into the mountains, so that we could train to fight in Italy.
ŌĆ£We learned how to rappel up the hillsides. We slept on the ground, did all the training every day, and then in around December of 1943 we got word to forget all this training. We were in the Navy now. They took us over to Norfolk, Va. We learned how to get up on a ship using the ropes. No more mountain training for us. Now we were being trained for amphibious landings. We were being prepared to go fight in the Pacific.
ŌĆ£After about a monthŌĆÖs training in the Chesapeake Bay, we made a practice landing or two, and then they put my unit on trains to California. We took a ship to Hawaii and did more training there. We got to Guam in July of 1944. There were no planes on Guam. The Japs didnŌĆÖt have air cover either. We just fought each other like cowboys and Indians on Guam.
ŌĆ£I was with the 77th Intelligence Division, attached to the 305th Marines. We were a special platoon of around 22 soldiers who did scouting work, intelligence and reconnaissance. We would go out and scout one area or another on the island, making sure there were no surprises for our guys. I became a Platoon Sergeant. We had an officer to lead us but they never lasted long. The first one only lasted one day and then took a medical leave. We never saw him again.
ŌĆ£As soon as we secured Guam, we were supposed to go to New Zealand for some R&R (rest and relaxation). But (General) MacArthur was heading back to the Philippines and he put in a bid for more troops. He was sort of in charge of both the Navy and the Army when it came to big decisions in the Pacific. So they turned our ship around. We said to hell with New Zealand and off we went to the Philippines.
ŌĆ£MacArthur used us to hit the beach on the southern part of Leyte Island. We landed just ahead of a Jap convoy that was bringing in more troops. As soon as we landed, there was a lot of fighting. I never got wounded but I was close a lot of the time to getting hit. I was pretty lucky, I guess. Every night you were alone in a foxhole. There were soldiers in foxholes all around you but you were still alone in the dark with your knife and your carbine, waiting for any Japs who infiltrated our lines. You always had a couple of hand grenades ready. I did a lot of praying. You stayed alert all night.
ŌĆ£We had the Japs bottled up in the mountains when word came that the Navy was going to Okinawa to fight that battle. They sent some LCTs in to pick us up and by March 26, 1945, we were landing in Okinawa, five days ahead of the invasion.ŌĆØ
(We should interrupt AnthonyŌĆÖs story here to mention the scale of this invasion. The battle for Okinawa was actually bigger, in some respects, than the Normandy Invasion in June of 1944 that kicked the Germans out of France. More than twice as many troops landed on the first day at Okinawa than were put ashore at the various landing beaches in France.
The Navy suffered 5,000 men killed on Okinawa. Over 10,000 were knocked out of action. The Americans absorbed nearly 62,000 casualties in all. Approximately 12,000 were dead or missing in action.
There were 120,000 Japanese soldiers on the island. By the end of the battle, 100,000 Japanese were dead, counting civilian casualties, many of them suicides. Okinawa was the last major battle of the Pacific Theater.)
ŌĆ£We finished fighting on Okinawa in June,ŌĆØ Stanis continued. ŌĆ£Shortly before the fighting stopped, we started getting replacements. Prior to that, all replacements went to Europe.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£From Okinawa, we went to Cebu in the Philippines to train for the invasion of Japan, which was scheduled for November 5. We trained until August, when the Atom Bomb was dropped. When that happened, we had a big party. We drank ŌĆśPhilippine Tuba,ŌĆÖ which came from the juice located in the top of coconut trees. Most of the guys celebrated. Dropping the bomb probably saved one million lives. ThatŌĆÖs how many soldiers it was estimated we would have lost in an invasion of Japan. Unfortunately, the Japanese had to pay for it.
ŌĆ£From Cebu, we shipped to Otaru, Japan as occupation forces in October. We were greeted by a Japanese party in morning coats and top hats. It was decided we would not have to scout adjacent to the roads through Sapporo to a huge Army Base at Asahikawa. The Captain, who was the Occupation Officer, left me with two men and proceeded to go talk to the civilian authorities. Before he left, he handed me an American flag and ordered me to raise it, replacing the Japanese flag. We had to march out in front of all of these Japanese citizens and raise our flag. That was a real Flag Day, perhaps my proudest moment of the war.
ŌĆ£I got home in December of 1945, just before Christmas. My family still lived in the BishopŌĆÖs Bend section of Pawtucket, down by the river. The cemetery came right up to our backyard. I had three sisters and a brother and we were all home for Christmas. I think that was the happiest Christmas of my life.ŌĆØ

(WZZM) - There are a lot more cases of whooping cough this year, most in infants.
Now doctors say to protect your baby, a mother should get the vaccine while she's still pregnant and here in Michigan, the state's health department is urging everyone to get vaccinated.
More than 32,000 cases of whooping cough have been reported this year in the United States along with 16 deaths. Here in Michigan, there are nearly 600 cases.
An advisory committee for the CDC recommended doctors give pregnant women the shot that protects against tetanus, diptheria and whooping cough.
Doctors say that will allow antibodies to transfer to the newborn, protecting them from the condition until they can be vaccinated themselves.
The shot should be given in the late second or third trimester regardless of whether the woman has had the vaccine before.
Doctors say the vaccine is safe in all trimesters for both the mother and the unborn child.
In Michigan, the Department of Community Health wants everyone to get the pertussis vaccine and a flu shot.
Immunity to whooping cough drops off after the childhood shots, so doctors say its critical to vaccinate adolescents and adults.

Prioritization of Urgency of Need for Services (PUNS) is a waiting list for services to persons with Developmental Disability, managed by the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) Division of Developmental Disabilities.
The current data sets do not include this information. The data release that has been developed from Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) enrollment and claims data, is not linked to the DHS-managed PUNS system, and therefore does not contain PUNS data.
The Community Reporting System (identified by the acronym ROCS) is a system of reporting claims data for community mental health services. The Department of Human Services (DHS) uses this system to monitor grants to service providers.
ROCS data is not linked to the Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) data release. However, identifiable mental health claims appear in HFS claims data. Such claims appear in the following Types of Service: Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)/Rural Health Clinic (RHC) Mental Health Services, Inpatient Hospital: Psych, Mental Health Facility Services - Regular Payments, and Rehabilitative Services - Mental Health.
People with mental health issues, irrespective of whether they have received DHS services, can also be identified by the Chronic Illness and Disability Payment System (CDPS) diagnostic indicators 'Psychiatric' (including all diagnoses except Substance Use Disorders) and 'Substance Use Disorders' (including all chemical dependencies and substance abuse problems).

Say goodbye to the Microsoft SQL Services and hello to SQL Azure. No, not the services themselves, just the brands. The Redmond company announced that it had rebranded SQL Services as SQL Azure. At the same time, in line with SQL Services being transitioned under the Azure umbrella brand, the SQL Data Services have also been rebranded and will be referred to as the Microsoft SQL Azure Database. The changes are effective immediately, the software giant stressed, and in fact visitors to the Azure Services Platform website will be able to notice that SQL Azure and the Microsoft SQL Azure Database are already referenced alongside .NET Services, Windows Azure and Live Services.
"This name change doesn't reflect a change in the products themselves; we will still be providing a powerful relational database foundation to the Azure Services Platform. By standardizing our naming conventions, we're demonstrating the tight integration between the components of the services platform. More intuitive names also help to reinforce the relationships between our on-premises and cloud solutions. Ultimately, the goal is to drive simplicity and clarity for customers as they consider on-premises and cloud computing approaches for solving their IT needs," revealed a member of the SQL Server Team.
Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans, which is scheduled for next week, will bring with it additional news and updates associated with the company's Software + Services strategy. However, the rebranding has already been dealt with. Microsoft has not offered any information on whether the branch change will also expand the services available via SQL Azure beyond the current relational database service, dubbed the SQL Azure Database.
"Microsoft SQL Azure delivers on the Microsoft Data Platform vision of extending the SQL Server capabilities to the cloud as web-based services, enabling you to store structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. SQL Azure will deliver a rich set of integrated services that enable you to perform relational queries, search, reporting, analytics, integration and synchronize data with mobile users, remote offices and business partners," the Redmond company revealed.

London to trial eye-level traffic lights designed to save cyclists' lives
TfL plans to test lights; widespread use would require a change in the law
Previous News
Next News
Transport for London is pushing for a trial of new eye-level traffic lights that they say will save the lives of cyclists in the capital.
The Dutch-style lights could be programmed to give cyclists a head start at busy junctions, similar to the Bow roundabout that was redesigned following multiple accidents.
Nine cyclists have died in London so far this year.
Managing director for surface transport Leon Daniels told the Evening Standard that consultation with the Department for Transport was required as use of the lights would require legislation.
"We've recently held early meetings with the Department for Transport to explore options for new traffic signals which we believe will make cycling safer," he said.
In a letter to Caroline Pidgeon, leader of the Liberal Democrats in the London Assembly, Mr Daniels added: "If approval of an on-street trial cannot be granted before 2014, TfL will look to carrying out off-street trials instead."
Ms Pidgeon, who has been campaigning for cycle safety measures, said: "The Department for Transport must allow TfL to catch up with best international practice."
The lights are used on the Continent, in countries including the Netherlands, Germany and Spain.
It is believed that it could speed up the journeys of riders, making them less likely to put themselves in harm's way by running red lights.
Gerhard Weiss of the London Cycling Campaign said: "This would be a good idea but it must be led by demand. We wouldn't want putting signals everywhere to be seen as a solution to the safe cycling problem. It's not quite as simple as that."
A cycle only phase at many junctions in London would make things safer by alowing some time to get away from the junction before left turning traffic.
But on my commute the numbers of cyclists is so great they wouldn't all get through unless the cycle lane was wide and the ASL wasn't full of cars and motorbikes already.
Some Police enforcement would need to be stepped up or motorbikes would just use the cycle phase as well.
On the Cycle Superhighways 7 and 8 (which I use on my commute) there are already so many cycists as to make even the widest point on the lane (2m) look far too narrow.

A cycle only phase at many junctions in London would make things safer by alowing some time to get away from the junction before left turning traffic.
...unless, of course, the cars started moving when the cycle light went green instead of waiting for their own lights, which is very likely bearing in mind the lawlessness of most British drivers.
Seeing that drivers set off from pedestrian crossings as soon as the pedestrian light is red, whether anyone's crossing or not, I don't see this working in Britain.

It's only reliant on the first driver in the queue of cars obeying the law; this is quite likely in my view.

Introduce the new lights but add a camera. Use the revenue generated by fines for drivers jumping the lights to build more cycling infrastructure.

There is an advance stop light for cyclists in York near the train station at the busy junction of Station Road and Blossom Street where cyclists turning right out of Station Road are very vulnerable to motorists going straight ahead. I used to use it every weekday, but i now use a better, new quiter access to the station which has been built since, thank goodness. In theory cyclists ASL's are a good idea, but in practice, as implemented in York it is not much use. Firstly, the lights operating for cyclists (as opposed to just on "normal")were supposed to be triggered by dectectors buried in the road, detecting cyclists entering the junction box. They regularly fail to detect cyclists, so no ASL. Second, the differential between the ASL for cyclists and motorists was too short - not enough head start. Thirdly, as pointed out above, impatient motorists start moving when they see the cyclists' ASL. Frankly it was arguably better (but still indimiidating and dangerous) before since from where you were positioned as a cyclist you could see the other lights go red and anticipate yours going green (without jumping them), whereas motorists behind could not see the change of the other lights so easily. The junction is now still unatisfactorty despite the Council spending a lot of money on it (having rejected more radical proposals which would have provided a real benefit to pedestrians and cyclists). Hopefully others can learn from York's mistakes.

most traffic lights in France seem to have eye level lights - think they are actually for car drivers as they tend not to have the ones across the junction.
These are a good idea but the ASL boxes in London fill up with vans. taxis, bikes and scooters; for this to work there will need to be enforcement. It has been done in Edinburgh but someone will have to explain the law to London Police before these are introduced (and organize a press campaign - so that if it is enforced effectively moaning lawbreakers do not start complaining that they are being treated as a "cash cow").

What about the riders who jump the lights? should they not get fined... I'm not being pedantic so hope you don't take it the wrong way.. I actually think its a good idea but would have to be a way to catch offending cyclists too. I see jumpers everyday on my cycle from Orpington to North London.

BlogHer Food '12: Day Two in Tweets!
By JennaHatfield on June 09, 2012
BlogHer Original Post
Today found our BlogHer '12 Food attendees sharing photos, wisdom from sessions and other chatter via twitter once again. I have to say that there's something fun about following the #blogherfood hashtag and reading each and every one of your tweets. Every single one!

|The Game Story:
|LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. - Siena Lacrosse scored the last eight goals of the game and held Canisius scoreless for the final 36 minutes in a 14-2 lambasting Saturday afternoon at Siena Turf Field. The win - Siena's seventh in a row - moves the Saints to the precipice of a clinching a MAAC Tournament berth.
With a win by Marist later tonight over Manhattan, Siena (8-3, 4-0) would clinch a spot in the four-team MAAC Tournament for the fourth straight season and fifth time in the past six years.
On Saturday, Siena clearly looked like a team headed to postseason play.
The Saints dominated all facets of the game for the full 60 minutes and out-shot Canisius (2-7, 1-3) 47-25 in winning for the 19th time in the past 21 home games. The win was the Saints' fourth straight over the Griffs.
The usual suspects - Danny Martinsen and Bryan Neufeld - once again led the offensive onslaught. Martinsen led all scorers with seven points including four goals, while Neufeld scored twice and added four helpers for six total points. Martinsen extended his scoring streak to 28 consecutive games and goal scoring streak to 18 in a row, while Neufeld pushed his point total to an amazing 48 points during the Saints' current winning streak.
Equally impressive was the Siena defense. The Saints held Canisius without an even strength goal and Tom Morr made seven saves between the pipes. Additionally, Siena held the nation's fourth leading goal scorer Simon Giourmetakis scoreless.
The two goals bequeathed were the fewest by the Saints in three years as the Green and Gold continued their conference dominance by winning for the 28th time in their past 29 MAAC Regular Season games.
Nate Barry, Colin Clive, Conor Prunty and Chris Roth each added a pair of goals for the Saints. Jimmy Haney and Travis Gibbons meanwhile accounted for the lone Canisius tallies.

Pollution and industrial facility specialists from the Coast Guard joined members of the state's Department of Natural Resources and Department of Environmental Quality in an effort to identify factors that could affect water quality in numerous Lake Michigan ports, and take water samples that will be compared to existing records and future readings.
Additional support will be provided by Coast Guard law enforcement teams and federal agents, as well as local responders.
A Coast Guard news release described its interest in this activity with this statement: "Establishing an awareness of the factors which impact our water quality, both natural and manmade, benefit not only conservation efforts, but enforcement by preventing false identification of anomalies in response to reported pollution."

Veronica Brenchley smokes on her front porch at a house where she is a renter on Wausau's near east side, Thursday, February 7, 2013.
- Filed Under
EDITOR: I live on Wausau's east side and have one question: Is the east side doomed to economic collapse, a kind-of mini-Detroit? The trend lines say yes.
The east side hosts several wonderful neighborhoods with wonderful homes that have fallen in value so much that people are either stuck here and cannot sell to upwardly mobile people, or else they are losing their homes to foreclosure. The property taxes here are an outrage. People once thought to be able to move up and buy houses here are going instead to Weston and Kronenwetter.
The economic stats are indisputable on this fact. Sixth Street is rapidly in decline. Promises made to business leaders to improve the area were empty. The city center is economically fragile.
Instead of investing tax dollars in properties that can generate jobs and income to the city, the city builds bike paths and parks - pretty but unproductive. The city government lacks financial sense and does as it pleases without the interests of the east side residents in mind.
What to do? Stop the bleeding, take one's losses and get out, or find a wholly new city government with its head screwed in right.

Huge impact in 'Lingerie Bowl' Gridiron game
It's not rugby, but this clip from women's gridiron features an impressive run that the likes of Ma'a Nonu would be proud of. The behaviour afterwards is questionable, but in terms of a spectacle, the Legends Football League seems to deliver.
It's hard to imagine that a scantily-clad-female rugby form of this would ever be acceptable, seeing as it's 2014 and all, but the Legends Football League is a hit in the USA. It used to be called the Lingerie Football League, for obvious reasons, before the name change.
In fact there is something similar that takes place in Europe each year, so we'll do our best to report on that soon (someone's got to do it).
From the same country that brought us Hooters, the LFL is 7 on 7 women's American Gridiron, where the players wear as little as possible. Until recently, they only wore garters, bras and panties.
It's been touted as the fastest growing sports league in the USA, and has record TV ratings.
In this clip Markie 'Lil Train' Henderson of the Las Vegas Sin (really) bulldozes Chicago Bliss' Dominique Collins, scores the touchdown then lets everyone know about it.
The coaches take it quite seriously too apparently, as can be seen in this clip.

When we think about beaches, relaxation, fun, and beautiful scenery usually come to mind. But that's not always the case — whether due to pollution or dangerous animals, several of the world's beaches are not the vacation destinations they seem like. Click through to check out some of the worst.

1. Monument Beach, Florida.
According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Florida's Monument Beach is one of the most polluted in the United States. Nearly three-fourths of water samples showed pollutants that exceeded national standards. Located in Florida's Gulf County, the beach is only monitored twice a month.

2. Volusia & Brevard County Beaches, Florida
How's this for a not-so-great claim to fame: Brevard County and Volusia County, both on Florida's central coast, are home to more unprovoked shark attacks than any stretch of beaches in the world. Out of the 80 shark attacks that took place worldwide in 2012, for instance, nearly one-fifth were in one of these counties.

I am now 32 weeks along!!
I haven't been able to get in decent workouts since Friday. All my workout stuff is now packed and our entire rec-room. This includes the DVD player and TV. So my only option now is walks until we move next week.
I did get in a walk last night but ended up getting cramps and had to turn around a lot earlier than I wanted.
If I am honest...it was starting to get hard to do any of my DVDs. I keep getting the cramps. So I think it may be walks from now until the baby is born to be safe. And some free weights.
On the weekend I had my baby shower! it was so much fun! My baby is spoiled already! hahaha
Here are some pictures!
This is the amazing cake my mom made.
This is the baby-in-carriage fruit dish my dad made! So awesome.
Here is me opening gifts!
Me about to hand out the favors to everyone..little rattles full of candy...
It was such a great shower that my husbands family and my family put on together. As soon as I got home I had to organize everything into boxes for the move. So I cannot wait to get into the new house and set up the nursery! I also sorted all the baby clothes by size....just have to wash it all once we are in the new house.
I cannot wait! We got to do our final walk through of the new house last night. We move next weekend!
So this weekend will be a busy packing weekend. As was this past weekend. I usually don't do a workout when I know I will be packing. I get out of breath packing and what not so I try not to over-do it. It's funny too because normally this type of activity would be nothing to me. I wouldn't get out of breath at all. Just goes to show you how much harder your body is working with the little one growing inside.
8 more weeks!!!

You look so happy!
Your mom did awesome with the cake! Holy cow I need to send a pic of that fruit salad to my dad! I wish he could do something like that:) So cool that your whole family got to participate in your special day!
Hope all goes well with packing. I always enjoy packing. I look at it as a time to donate things I don't need anymore or don't use or want.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

You look great! So glad your family did that for you! I bet you are exited girl. So much to look forward to!!!
You are getting plenty of exercise with the packing and moving. So don't stress too much over it. Your walks are probably the perfect extra exercise. You are right about how hard your body is working now. I kept track of my heart rate during workouts through my pregnancies and at the beginning heart rate was close to normal as far as how soon it would elevate during exercise like getting over 100bpm after maybe 5 min on the treadmill then by the end it would get to 130 just walking TO the treadmill lol!!! So take it easy too ;-)
Enjoy preparing for the big arrival

Pirelli has announced that it will be changing its hard tyre compound to make it more durable, as well as announcing the tyre allocations for the next three races.
The P Zero orange-banded hard tyre that will make its debut in Spain will be similar to the performance of the 2012 hard compound, being more durable. Pirelli's Motorsport Director Paul Hembery said that the move has come after evaluating the tyre performances from the first four rounds of the season.
Discussing in a press release from the Italian firm he said "After evaluating tyre performance over the balance of the first four races, we took the decision – in consultation with all of the teams – to change the hard compound from Spain onwards"
The move is similar to what happened in 2011 where Pirelli also changed the hard tyre compound for Formula 1's return to Europe. "As we did in Barcelona two years ago when we also introduced a new hard tyre for the rest of the season. This latest version of the hard compound is much closer to the 2012 tyre, with the aim of giving the teams more opportunity to run a wider range of strategies in combination with the other compounds, which remain unchanged."
For the fifth round of the 2013 Formula 1 World Championship, Pirelli will bring along the re-structured orange Hard tyre alongside the white-ribboned medium. They cited the high demands and energy of the Circuit de Catalunya for allocating the two most durable compounds.
The sport will then move on to the principality of Monaco, where the red super-soft and yellow soft tyre will be brought. This is the same line-up as the previous two years with the firm saying the tyres are "ideal" for the tight and twisty streets of Monte Carlo.
Canada will be the next race on the calendar and Pirelli are bringing the super-soft and the medium compound tyres to Montreal, the same compound choice as the season opener in Australia. Discussing their choices the tyre supplier said the two compounds have a "low working range" that will be "well-suited to the low ambient temperatures and specific requirements of the Montreal track."
Six sets of the harder compound and five sets of the softer rubber will be allocated to each car, with four sets of intermediates and three sets of wet tyres being brought too.
The changes and allocations have come after close evaluation of the tyre compounds and the mixed response to the 2013 rubber during the first four rounds of the season.

Top Tips for the Weekend
Beat the January blues with the First Fortnight festival, check out an 18-year old singer-songwriter and the latest star-studded cinema release: Nadine O'Regan's Top Tips.
**The First Fortnight festival.** January is the worst month for the blues, which is why it's the perfect time for the **First Fortnight festival**, which aims to fight the stigma surrounding mental health issues through the medium of arts events and discussions. The festival kicked off earlier this week, with the release of smiley-faced helium clouds around Dublin, and continues with screenings of films including Silver Linings Playbook, gig performances from bands including Heathers and Come On Live Long, and discussions such as the Anti-Room panel chat on women and mental health in popular culture, which takes place at the Smock Alley Theatre on Jan 9. For more details about the line-up, go to [www.firstfortnight.ie](http://firstfortnight.ie/).
**American Hustle.** This David O Russell film looks set to be a major hit among the new releases of 2014 - we were turned away from a packed screening in Cineworld on New Year's Day and were lucky to squeeze into the nearby Lighthouse cinema in Smithfield to catch it later that evening. It's no surprise, when you consider the stars involved: Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper deliver whip-sharp performances in this 1970s-set tale of grubby chicanery. Bale is barely recognisable as Irving Rosenfeld, who is forced to work for a forceful FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Cooper), when he and his partner Sydney (Adams) get caught out on one of their schemes. DiMaso promises to let them avoid jail time if they simply help him expose some corrupt politicians, but the plot quickly gets stickier and more tangled. There are flaws in the delivery and pacing of the film - Russell occasionally creeps along where he should crescendo - but the performances are so good, and the scenes often so acerbically funny, that it hardly matters. Sidenote: many will be held riveted by Amy Adams' cleavage-exposing rig-outs - in virtually every scene she appears in, she has apparently forgotten half her outfit. **American Hustle** is in cinemas now.
**Orla Gartland.** You might not know the name now, but 18-year-old singer-songwriter **Orla Gartland's** star is firmly in the ascendant. Brought up in Drumcondra, **Gartland** is a striking talent, writing songs inspired by Regina Spektor and Joni Mitchell, and shot through with a mellow maturity that's all her own. Having finished secondary school in June, **Gartland** already has over 18,000 followers on Twitter, and her songs have racked up over 10 million views on YouTube - of particular note is her beautiful cover of the song Royals by Lorde with Lauren Aquilina. **Gartland's** debut EP Roots was released recently to acclaim and she performs on The Saturday Night Show on RTE tomorrow night, in a line-up that includes Dr Eva Ormond who'll be talking about moving on from Operation Transformation, new 2FM presenter Eoghan McDermott and Galway poet Rita Ann Higgins. The Saturday Night Show is on RTÉ One at 21.45 p.m.
**Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man.** For the thousands who have watched **Leonard Cohen** perform brilliantly in Ireland over the past few years, this television documentary on Sunday should prove a treat. Watch as the renowned singer-songwriter opens up about his profoundly elegant songwriting and his outlook on life. The documentary also features archival footage and photographs from Cohen's private collection. The documentary airs on TG4 on Sunday at 11.15 p.m.

Freshman goalie George Carafides made two difficult saves with less than a minute to play as the Yale men's lacrosse team held on for a 9-8 victory over No. 16 Princeton at Yale's Soccer-Lacrosse Stadium.
The Bulldogs (5-2, 2-1 Ivy) got four goals from senior Seth Goldberg, while five other players hit the net once, but the star of the game for the home team was faceoff man Dan Kallaugher, who won 17 of 20 draws including the last 13 straight.
Yale's patience on offense and faceoff domination were the difference in the upset of Princeton (0-5, 0-1), which faced four straight nationally ranked squads before today.
"Dan Kallaugher was unbelievable on faceoffs today. He allowed us to get the ball back every time," said Yale head coach Andy Shay, who said this was his biggest win as a head coach. "He was the best player on the field today. I have not seen a more dominating performance in a big game."
The Bulldogs controlled the ball for most of the first 10 minutes of the game and tallied the first two goals on their first three shots. One came from junior David Schecter who took a long shot that sailed into the upper corner to open the scoring at 13:33. Less than a minute later, sophomore Chris Kempner gave Yale the first of seven two-goal leads.
Sophomore David Levy, the recipient of great feed from defender Gray Eklund (4 ground balls), gave the home team its largest lead of the game late in the first period. Eklund stole the ball outside the Yale crease and then raced up field before hitting Levy, who nailed his second goal of the year at 5:06 to make it 3-0.
Tiger attackman Mike Gaudio tallied the first of his team-high three goals 53 seconds later and Princeton made it two straight to cut the margin to 3-2.
Yale, which never trailed, took a 6-4 advantage into halftime despite 10 turnovers in the first half. Dan Kallaugher, among the nation's leaders in ground balls and faceoffs, won nine of 12 draws to enable the Elis to retain the lead.
Two of Goldberg's goals came in the closing moments of the first two frames. His low, 12-foot shot with 1:43 left in the first on the extra-man put Yale up 4-2. But his second goal of the game really gave the underdog Bulldogs a lift. Diving toward the crease, Goldberg, who also had the deciding score, hit the back of the net with four seconds left in the second quarter.
"It is an unbelievable feeling," said Goldberg, who now has 31 straight games with a point . "We put it all on the line today and really tested ourselves. We proved we can play with the best teams."
Kallaugher finished the day with 17 faceoff wins in 20 attempts while scooping up a game-high nine ground balls.
"I anticipated them trying to neutralize me, but I just focused on doing my thing," said Kallaugher, who clearly recorded one of the great feats in Yale lacrosse history. "I was expecting to have a good day. The [real] grass was good for me. A good faceoff man benefits from the grass."
Princeton midfielder Jim O'Brien had the best chance to tie the game with 33 seconds left when he made a move around a Yale defender and came in alone on Carafides. The Yale goalie managed to stop O'Brien's shot from a few feet outside the crease. However, the Bulldog rookie, who earned his fifth win in net with 12 saves, had his biggest stop with 18 seconds left. Gaudio's point-blank shot bounced off Carafides and the Elis gained possession as captain D.J. Barry ran out the clock.
The Blue also had goals from juniors Colin Neville and Dan Brillman (3 points), helping Yale improve to 2-1 in the Ivy League with a game at Brown next Saturday.
This was Yale's first win over the six-time NCAA Champions since Eric Wenzel, who was in the stands today, led the Bulldogs to a 15-13 victory at Old Nassau in 2002. The Elis tasted victory at home over the Orange and Black for the first time since 1989.
"I'm proud of the guys. We challenged them early in the week to play a full 60 minutes after last Saturday's performance," said Shay.

Quality: Key to Connecting with Fragrance Consumers
By: Jeb Gleason-Allured
Posted: November 5, 2010, from the November 2010 issue of GCI Magazine.
Fremont discusses his successes with the fragrances ck one and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver at the 2010 FiFi Awards presentation.
page 3 of 5As an example, Fremont notes an extraction process Firmenich employed to produce a new type of vetiver oil that Fremont calls "the dream material" and forms the basis for the FiFi's award-winning Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. "It's the vetiver you have in your mind, that you never smelled before because [traditional] extraction doesn't get it right."
The typical method of vetiver extraction often yields an oil that tends to have a musty, potatolike smell.
"I personally was always obsessed with vetiver," he continues. "It's the roots that are extracted. When you smell it, you smell the earth. It's like the smell of fire. It's one of those primal things that are embedded in people's minds." For some time, Fremont had hoped to convince clients to make a high-quality vetiver fragrance, but consistently met resistance due to cost, which can rise 200–300% above typical price thresholds. "To have a fragrance smell of vetiver you have to use a certain amount of it," says the perfumer. "The problem we have today is we all use these beautiful [natural] materials, but we use them in a homeopathic dosage because the money that is allowed to us to work on a project is just not enough. With this fragrance, working with Karyn Khoury, [senior vice president, corporate fragrance development worldwide for The Estée Lauder Companies], I had license to use this palette to the full potential. I believe it makes a huge difference." And so, using his dream vetiver, a "very good" clary sage and a captive woody molecule, Fremont formulated Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. The result, he says, is a new, elegant vetiver fragrance, which met designer Tom Ford's "perfect sense of taste." "He wanted a vetiver that really smelled like vetiver," says Fremont. "He wanted to create a vetiver for sleek elegance. This fragrance is about more than craftsmanship—it's about quality. Tom Ford has a sense of precision and style, and he was able to translate that in the fragrance he wanted."
Quality and the Consumer
"It's very shocking for me today that, while we know that quality for every consumer product is important, it is not always considered in fragrance," says Fremont. "You have the creativity on one side, but you also need good materials. The reality is [that] the cost of the oil in the fragrance is small compared to the cost of the advertising, the bottle, the packaging, etc. I'm sure if we were to push back some of this money into the juice itself, it would make a huge difference."
In addition, Fremont believes that high-quality natural ingredients can build story, ethics and sustainability into a fragrance launch. "I think what consumers are missing is quality, but also an emotional link to what's in the bottle. Most fragrance launches don't engage the consumer emotionally. Now I think I see a trend of natural materials linked with the local community producing them. That's going to take naturals to a place that is much more [impactful]. For the consumer, it's important that, by buying this product, they are doing good for a part of the world. To touch people it has to be grounded and true. With authenticity we're going back to quality.
