By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
When water leaves the Price River Water Improvement District treatment plant in Price Canyon it has a long way to travel before it gets to residential, industrial and municipal customers. Altogether the district has 157 miles of main lines to maintain and take care of, and the regular upkeep on the system is not as simple as just fixing water leaks when they pop up.
"We supply water to a lot of people, to small water companies and to towns in the county," said Jeff Richens, the district manager for PRWID. "The main line, which is 30 inches wide, starts at the water plant and almost all the water that is supplied to our customers is brought to them courtesy of gravity."
Richens says, in fact there is such a drop from the canyon into the valley that the district must have a series of pressure reducers on the main lines to keep them from being ripped apart by the pressure.
However there are four exceptions to the gravity feed system. One is Kenilworth, where water must be pumped uphill to reach the tank that supplies the little town. Another is on Airport Road where a pump supplies the water to the customers in that area, including the Price airport. One more exists at the Hill subdivision near Gordon Creek Road. Finally, there is a commercial customer south of Price that has water pumped to it as well.
But most of the water that comes to customers falls by way of gravity and is taken through a tank system before it ever reaches their taps.
"In a sense a tank is just a wide spot in the pipe," said Richens jokingly. "And our various storage tanks around the county give us the capability to keep up with demand, especially when there is high demand."
High demand comes in the summer time when the plant pumps through almost over four million gallons per day. But it also can take place if a large fire occurs in the area. With 422 fire hydrants on the districts system, those large valves also become another problem for the district.
"We have to go through and test all the fire hydrants twice a year to make sure they will operate in an emergency," said Scott Jensen, assistant superintendent of maintenance for PRWID. "We have to operate each hydrant and make sure they are serviced with oil and grease. We also have to check to be sure residents in the area haven't obscured the hydrants."
Jensen says that sometimes people will landscape around hydrants, which can hide them from fire fighters who might need them.
"We have even had people paint them a different color," he said. "We have people say that they just didn't match with what they were trying to do in their yard."
However, the biggest problem the district runs into concerning hydrants is that people hit the structures with vehicles and do not report the mishaps.
The valves actually close off the system at the bottom of the riser. So when the hydrants are hit, they usually won't gush in geyser as people often seen on television shows.
But if the hydrants are damaged and then were turned on, the tops can blow off.
The district also has literally thousands of various kinds of valves on the distribution system. The valves are located throughout the county. These need to be tested each year, too, and repaired if necessary.
Some of the valves are located at the bottom of risers and have a cap on the top of those risers.
"Problem is that sometimes they get covered over by residents and construction people," said Jensen. "And sometimes, kids take the caps off and dump rocks or dirt into the riser. We have to make sure these valves stay accessible."
The pressure reduction valves that are on the lines because of the gravity feed also need to be overhauled once every three years and checked once a month.
There are 100 of the pressure reduction valves in the system as well.
Air relief valves also exist in a number of places around the system.
At last count, 150 of the relief valves must be winterized in the fall or they can cause a large break which could be costly and time consuming to repair.
"In some places the lines push water uphill by the gravity feed and air can build up in the lines," said Jensen. "If those valves don't work right we can have a mess."
PRWID's major line is made of steel. Older steel lines can carrode quickly underground so the district uses cathodic protection for those lines. That means they must maintain the rectifiers and anode beds alongside the pipes to prevent corrosion and keep the pipes in one piece. The maintenance crew must test the pipes anti-rust system every three months and must also check the joints in the pipe every three years. This is done with special equipment which measure the continuity of the system. If there are problems in a section, then the pipes may have to be dug up and repaired.
The district maintenance crew also has to worry about the chemistry of the water going into homes and businesses. Each month, the PRWID employees must take 10 bacteriological samples in various places in the system and have them analyzed. They must also send 15 chlorine samples from the system to the state each month.
The chlorination is done at the water plant. When it comes out of the cleaning and disinfecting process, the water contains two to three parts of chlorine per million. But by the time the water gets to people's taps in the valley the chlorine has dissipated to about .2 parts per million.
Infrastructure like the district's lines do not last forever. There are 11 places in the system that are termed "dead end lines." The areas can get stale water in them so they must be flushed at least once a week so the water will be fresh for residents that are on the parts of the system.
"Sometimes, it takes a great deal of time for that water to run through until it is fresh," said Jensen.
Along with all the maintenance on the water lines, the equipment and the tests that must be done regularly to comply with drinking water standards, the maintenance department must also set meters for new buildings or homes and, once installed, someone must read the meters.
The process has gotten easier because about 50 percent of the district's retail customers have electronic meters which can be read without having to pull off the lids.
"The electronic readers are great, but people need to be careful around our meters," said Jensen. "The cap for the electronic meter is plastic and if people burn weeds around these meters they can melt those caps and destroy the unit," he said. "They also sometimes will get a frozen meter during the winter for some reason and then they put a torch in the meter box to warm it up. Obviously that destroys the meter too."
Repairing the damage can run between $200-$300 per meter, just for the parts.
"If you have a problem with a frozen meter, call us," he said.
Jensen, who has spent 25 years with PRWID, indicated that the biggest change he has seen is the vast growth of the the water district's system.
"It just keeps getting larger and larger and more complicated," he said. "We have gone up many times in size, yet our number of staff in the maintenance department has only gone up a small amount during that time."
The entire system is taken care of by nine people. The group of employees must also maintain the sewer collection system as well as the water system.
And that last maintenance job presents an entirely different set of problems for the water supply system.
Editors note: Today's story is the third in a series of five articles concerning the infrastructure PRWID has in place for the distribution of water and the collection of sewage in Carbon County.

At an expat holiday party in Shanghai in the 1920s, my grandfather tasted the finest eggnog he had ever had. It took him seven years to wheedle the recipe out of the host. Once he got it, he gave an annual party on the Sunday evening following Thanksgiving to make the nog.
Game plan: For the flavors to meld, age the eggnog in the refrigerator for at least 1 week.
If you want to bottle the eggnog (before the whipped egg whites and cream are stirred in), follow the step-by-step guide in this story for bottling soda pop. Unlike the soda recipes, eggnog does not ferment (so there's no danger of explosion); it just ages under refrigeration. The actual bottling process is the same, though.
Related story: Is it safe to use raw eggs in eggnog?

To serve:
Rich cheesecake, enlivened with eggnog and a gingersnap crust.
A festive frosting for Christmas cookies and cupcakes.
This festive version of French toast is a great way to use up leftover eggnog.

Microsoft has decided to say "no" to this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but Windows 8 managed to be the number one guest star thanks to an increasing number of devices running the new operating system.
Since PCs, laptops and tablets are playing quite a key role in the way Windows 8 performs on the market, Microsoft has decided to pay a tribute to manufacturers adopting its new software with a clip showcasing their latest products.
The video shows products belonging to Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Sony, Toshiba and Vizio, all running Windows 8 and expected to hit the market in the upcoming months.
It remains to be seen, however, if this avalanche of Windows 8 computers has the power to boost sales of the operating system or not.

Alvin Tan & Vivian Lee Will Continue their Erotic Blog – Video
Vivian Lee, the woman who posted nude and erotic pictures and videos of herself and her boyfriend on their blog, has no regrets making her sexual life an open book.
"I see nothing wrong in posting the nude pictures and videos of our sexual relationship on the Internet. It was intended for the world to see how much we love each other. I cannot understand why people have to make so much fuss about this. It is our private affair," she said.
Lee, 23, and her boyfriend of six months Alvin Tan Jye Yee, 24, caused a cyber furore when their postings on their blog Sumptuous Erotica became viral and was caught on by the Singapore media.
"To us, the pictures on the blog were a work of art. We are open-minded people and we just want to share this with the world. We want them to see how pretty it was."
Lee said she failed to understand why people had different perceptions on Asians when they posted such images in cyberspace.

you are wrong,animal wil screw around every way,at least the couple do their own business indoor,once again,dun act innocent,i guess you fuck around more!
you act innocent!
I find it saddening that people in Malaysia concern themselves with this. If this was anywhere else in the world, it'd be ignored as a passing fad. Hell, this type of thing has been around for years. One thing that is surely more pathetic than all, is the instant unthinking opinion of people commenting about it. Take the example of one Mr "Warren Wong", mentioned in the Star article. His genius idea is to castrate the young man involved. Ummmm… Castrate? Are you serious??? That's the most barbaric thing I've heard in a long time. One comment below describes (badly), that Mr Tan and Ms Lee are in some way not human. Personally, I think that anyone who would call for another person, regardless of their actions, to be castrated falls into that category. If you don't like it, don't look at it. Welcome to the internet. There are far more disturbing things here, that are much easier to find that a tiny little blog.
Well I don't know where the hell are you from. Judging from your comment (and your name), you're definitely not Asian. Well sorry to disappoint you that EVERY country has their own moral codes we adhere to. It's what makes us who we are. As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do what the Romans do". You don't come to Asia to promote free sex and internet freedom, and nor will I go round your country making a hullabaloo about safe sex and say no against pre-marital sex. Yes by law you may never be prosecuted. But to make a sexual tryst of you an your girlfriend an overnight sensation certainly does not go well with our community. I do admit that castrating the male offender is nonetheless outrageous. But to actually agree with videotaping sex and to make it viewable online isn't the right thing either! How would you feel if you had a daughter like Paris Hilton with her sex tapes all over the web? You'd feel proud about that?
its democracy. its up to them on wat they wan to do, as long as they dont hurt people. and they dont hurt people. dont tell me u havent watch porn at all? or havent see any nude pictutes…… so… wats the difference…. open up your mind… dont feel jelous if you dont do it. its their life and its up to them.
[…] Tan & Vivian Lee or now commonly known as "Alvivi", the couple that posted their erotic photos and sex videos online last year is at it again, this time it not about sex but about the Holy month of […]

He never gets the gibbon but I guess ya got to give the poor dog some credit because he doesn't stop trying it's just a case of sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try, you gotta be able to realize the point where it's time to pack it in!Reply

Legislative – While the Legislature is working on funding decisions, superintendents are encouraged to inform their legislators about their district's needs. Assessment – Following the first operational administration of the new reading assessments, standard setting and alignment activities will take place this summer. The department is recruiting educators to serve on standard setting and alignment committees. See more information and the online application. August 1, 2013, is the date for the Annual Assessment Conference. The call for proposals and registration information will be provided when details are finalized. Teacher Evaluation Model Pilot – Districts are invited to participate in a pilot of the state draft model for teacher evaluation during school year 2013-2014. See the memorandum and letter of interest available on the Teacher Evaluation Default Model web page.
The next conference call is scheduled for Wednesday, April 17, 2013.
Yesterday, Commissioner Cassellius visited a Regional Center and hosted a roundtable discussion on education and the governor's budget. She met with Rochester Superintendent Michael Munoz and nearly two dozen teachers and administrators to talk about the current state of education in Rochester, including topics about education finance, early education and special education. Read media advisory. Visit the Governor's website.

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding is available to qualified communities (and school districts) interested in mitigating future damage from natural hazards and helping residents (students and staff) stay safe during severe weather.
Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) administers the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program. The HMGP is a cost-share grant (75% federal/25% local) made available statewide post-disaster. Due to the floods of June 2012 and resulting disaster declaration DR-4069-MN, funds are now available for mitigation projects.
Potential projects include:
Eligible applicants include:
The deadline to submit a one-page Notice of Interest (NOI) to HSEM Hazard Mitigation is April 5, 2013. Access NOI form from the HSEM website.
The State Hazard Mitigation Team will meet in April to evaluate NOIs. Eligible applicants will be invited to develop full HMGP applications. Access the NOI and additional information on the Minnesota Department of Public Safety -- HSEM website. Access additional information on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website.
For assistance with questions, contact Jennifer E. Nelson, State Hazard Mitigation Officer, Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management, at 651-201-7427.
During this important week, the Department of Public Safety Division of Homeland Security Emergency Management (HSEM) is asking school administrators, safety officers and faculty to review their severe weather safety procedures to ensure every school is prepared to respond.
Statewide tornado drills are scheduled for Thursday, April 18 at 1:45 p.m. and 6:55 p.m. Sirens and NOAA Weather Radios are expected to sound, so this is an excellent opportunity for a safety drill. If your school can't participate in the drill, please explain to students why the warning sirens are sounding and recommend that they practice their family emergency plan during the evening drill.
Why Severe Weather Awareness Week? According to the National Weather Service, Minnesota experiences an average of 40 tornadoes per year. In 2012, 37 twisters touched down. A record was set in 2010 with 104 tornadoes across the state.
Understanding this threat and knowing what to do when a tornado is approaching can save lives. Please, take advantage of Severe Weather Awareness Week to make students aware of tornadoes and other weather-related hazards.
Each day of the week, the Department of Public Safety Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will focus on a different topic available on their website.
Find specific information about these topics, including factsheets, checklists, data and other resources on the HSEM Weather Safety website.
The Minnesota eLearning Summit will be held July 29-30, 2013, at Northwestern College in St. Paul. The 2013 Summit theme, "eSynergy: Bringing it All Together," is designed for K-12, college and university educators, innovators and education technologists across the continuum of education.

Telstra Bigpond users targeted in post-data-breach phishing campaign
A phishing campaign targeting users of Telstra Bigpond, Australia's largest ISP, is urging users to confirm their billing information or risk suspension.
All pretty run-of-the-mill, but neatly timed given that Telstra suffered a data breach of customer information last Friday.

Bob Minsky: Too many questions remain unanswered with respect to All Aboard Florida
Too many financial questions remain unanswered
Many aspects of All Aboard Florida remind me of a project proposed about 15 years ago: high-speed rail. In addition to the cost of building the trains there were the additional costs of the tracks and right-of-way acquisition. Projects of that magnitude are rarely completed on time and on budget.

Healing the Legacy
Lilyanna McKay, 17, Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation.
As part of SEVEN Youth Media Network's Truth and Reconciliation project, four youth spoke to Wawatay New's Lenny Carpenter on the intergenerational effects of the residential school system. They talked about how it impacted them in areas such as language, alcoholism, abuse and parenting.
While Lilyanna's parents did not attend residential school, they suffered from impacts of their parents going as well as other family members.
Lilyanna and her siblings faced the intergenerational effects through abuse and then in a series of suicides.
Her family and community's story was told in the 2010 documentary, Third World Canada.
On how residential school affected her…
"I guess just the way I grew up, how my family was abused in the past, and I guess how it was repeating itself.
My parents got really depressed and didn't know how to deal with it so they turned to alcohol and started abusing us. (It started when) I was young, so right from the start.
From what happened to our grandparents, (the impact) just started going down from generation to generation."
On the suicides and how it affected her…
"My biological father committed suicide when I was 10 months old, and my step father committed suicide April 1, 2006. And then my biological mom committed suicide on my 12th birthday.
"I got really depressed and wasn't sure how to handle it. I would cut myself probably 100 times a day. It just helped me feel better."
On how it affects all First Nations people…
"It still does impact us. We lost our language, we lost hope. I think it just destroyed us."

Which of New Zealand's next generation of surf superstars – 'groms' – will make it to the big-wave big time?
"Smile, Korbin," shouts one of the surfers at the prizegiving for the Rip Curl GromSearch.
Korbin Hutchings has his game face on and the coolest pair of shades you've ever seen on a 13-year-old. He may not sing or dance, but this kid with the bleached blond hair has the X-factor. He's just finished second behind Dune Kennings in the U14 final at the Rip Curl GromSearch, held at Piha at the start of December.
It's his first year in the U14 division and Kennings is a year older, stronger and wiser (which counts for a lot on the water) but Hutchings is still a little disappointed with his effort. "I'm stoked to come second, but I could have done better," he says. "It was hard. You'd look out the back and think there was a set coming, but quite a few of them closed out. There were a few good waves in between, but it was tough."
It's tough times for surfing. Like many other sports it has been affected by the global financial crisis. Sponsor dollars are hard to come by and the numbers entering surf competitions is down across the board (excuse the pun). In 2009, the Rip Curl GromSearch attracted 120 of the best 10-16-year-old surfers in the country. At the end of last year only 70 turned up for the Piha event.
For the full story pick up the January Red Bulletin Magazine.

I spent a lot of time staring at a blank screen before writing this—not because I had nothing to say, but I simply had too much. I wanted to write as eloquently about The Sprouted Kitchen as the author Sara Forte does in the book itself, and get across just how meaningful and moving this book is. It is so much more than a cookbook: it's a splendid homage to whole foods, an inspiration to share and eat with the people we love, and a memento of a gracious couple who make gorgeous art—one in the form of food, the other photography.
Their book trailer is infectiously precious, and I have watched it more times than I should admit. So, it seems most fitting simply to say thank you. Thank you Sara and Hugh for creating a beautiful book that I and surely countless others will cherish.
The best sort of overwhelming is when you can't flip through a cookbook fast enough because each page holds something spectacularly irresistible for the eyes, soul, and taste buds. Overcome by such excitement, I cannot be especially graceful in discussing The Sprouted Kitchen, for, as Sara says in the introduction to her book, it is at times challenging to put words to instructions or sentiments. Sometimes, it's best to start cooking, which I just had to do.
Two dishes — the Tuscan Kale Chopped Salad and Peanut Butter Pretzel Tartlets–were part of a welcome home dinner for dear friends. The genius of these recipes is they are more creative, inspired versions of dishes I eat on a normal basis. I greedily made much more of the crunchy, wholesome Tuscan Kale Chopped Salad than necessary and gladly snacked on it throughout the night. And the Peanut Butter Pretzel Tartlets seemed to be suited for home cooking conundrums, as I froze the tartlet shells until my broken oven was up and running again. When I finally did get to make them, though, they were gobbled down by friends and greeted with exclamations of, "these are SO good!"
So, Sara, thanks for making some of my past and many future meals soo good. You have inspired me to cook with creativity, color, and conviviality, and I can't wait for others to get a taste of your book too.
In the book trailer above, Sara splendidly makes the Asian Tacos with Hoisin Slaw from The Sprouted Kitchen. This more wholesome version of a food truck taco Sara tasted is spicy, tangy, and sweet with crisp Asian pears, pungent Chinese five-spice powder, and loads of fresh produce. For more recipes (I can't wait to try the Almond Meal Coconut Cookies!), see the excerpt below.
asian tofu tacos with hoisin slaw
from The Sprouted Kitchen by Sara Forte and Hugh Forte
(Ten Speed Press, August 2012)
Serves 4
1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu
3/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 Asian pear
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
5 green onions, white and light green parts, chopped
21/2 cups finely shredded green or napa cabbage
8 small whole grain or brown rice tortillas
Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and set on a plate lined with a few paper towels. Set aside to drain for at least 15 minutes, up to a few hours in the fridge.
In a bowl, stir together the five-spice powder, 2 tablespoons of the rice vinegar, the garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Pat the tofu dry. In a shallow dish, gently toss the tofu in the spice mixture. Let it marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
While the tofu marinates, core the pear and thinly slice. In a large bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, yogurt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Set aside.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 3/4 of the green onions (setting the rest aside for garnish) and the tofu mixture and all its marinade into the pan. Sauté until the edges of the tofu are browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
Toss the cabbage in the hoisin mixture to coat. Heat the tortillas over the stove flame. To assemble the tacos, fill each of the tortillas with some of the dressed cabbage, a few slices of pear, and some of the tofu mixture. Garnish with the remaining green onions and serve.

New Version of National Anthem by Rajneeti Team!May 11th, 2010 - 6:14 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
May 11, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): The countdown has begun with just about a month to go for the release of Rajneeti. Prakash Jha's magnum opus based on politics is among the most anticipated films this year. The final campaign trail kicked off at an uptown surburban hotel recently. It had the entire team and members of the media in attendance. A surprise element of the campaign was revealed then.
The team of Rajneeti has come up with a special video of the National Anthem. They have composed and shot a video which features the entire team. Clad in white, they pay tribute to the National Anthem against the backdrop of the Indian flag. The team is certainly promoting their film in a big way. Director Prakash Jha was happy with the way the film has shaped up.
"I have given it my best shot as a filmmaker. The entire cast has worked with complete dedication. I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who was involved with the making of the film," he says. Jha is also the producer, has done the scripting and has worked on the technical aspects of Rajneeti. The team will also travel to colleges across the country to spread awareness about politics.
The new video of the National Anthem is certainly a novel promotional device. They plan to donate it to cinema halls to be played before the screenings. So the next time you're in a theatre standing up for the National Anthem, don't be surprised to find Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, and Arjun Rampal singing along with you!

Grepping the Knot Atlas August 20, 2007Posted by Scott Morrison in knot atlas, topology, wiki.
I want to make a brief plug for the Knot Atlas, and in particular a new way you can get hold of all the knot theory data hidden away inside it.
First of all, what is the Knot Atlas? Officially, it's aiming to be "a complete user-editable knot atlas, in the wiki spirit of Wikipedia". In more mundane technicalities, it's a machine sitting underneath Dror Bar-Natan's desk, running Mediawiki (and other) software maintained by Dror and myself, hosting a wiki with lots of information about knots. You might like to take a self guided tour, or just read the About page.
Next I'll explain how the Knot Atlas stores and displays its data, and then introduce a new and simple mechanism we've devised for using this data — the classic command line tool "grep", secretly operating on an RDF data dump.
The Knot Atlas stores knot theory data by taking advantadge of the fact that a wiki is the simplest database system that could possibly work — it lets us store arbitrary chunks of text under fairly arbitrary page names. We store every knot invariant value known to the Knot Atlas as a separate page. Have a look at these examples. To display these, the Knot Atlas uses the wonderful wiki trick of transclusion. An individual page collecting data for a particular knot includes some wiki markup along the lines of {{Data:3_1/Jones_Polynomial}} (or actually, the somewhat fancier markup {{Data:{{{PAGENAME}}}/Jones_Polynomial}}, which works wherever we put it), which magically splices in whatever data appears on that page.
While this works nicely for what we've done so far on the Knot Atlas, it's not obvious from this description how one would add lots of new data to the Knot Atlas, or extract the data for use elsewhere. In fact, neither of these problems currently have great solutions. We've made a big improvement on extracting data, which I'll explain now, but at present the only way to add data is to use one of the many mediawiki editting bots (such as the Java based WikiLink, originally written for the Knot Atlas, which also has a Mathematica wrapper). It's a little painful, and I don't think anyone other than me and Dror has overcome to learning curve.
Happily, there's now a much better way to get data out of the Knot Atlas. Earlier in July, while I was visiting Dror in Toronto, we put together a script that runs every night, and dumps out all the "Data:" pages in the Knot Atlas as an RDF file. It turns out that you can ignore the fact that it's a well-formed RDF file, and just think of it as plain text, and it looks like this:
<knot:10_71> <invariant:BraidIndex> "5" . <knot:10_71> <invariant:Alexander_Polynomial> "<math>-t^3+7 t^2-18 t+25-18 t^{-1} +7 t^{-2} - t^{-3} </math>" . <knot:10_71> <invariant:Bridge_Index> "3" . <knot:10_71> <invariant:ConcordanceGenus> "<math>3</math>" . <knot:10_71> <invariant:Conway_Notation> "[22,21,2+]" .
Every line is a "triple", listing a knot, an invariant, and a literal string, the value of the invariant. If you'd like to play, you can download our entire database (watch out, it's 400MB uncompressed!) or go to the "Take Home Database" tutorial page on the Knot Atlas where you can find links to subsets of the database. That tutorial page contains some suggestions on using the data, but I'll give one nice example here:
[drorbn@katlas ~/Data]$ zgrep Determinant Knots11.rdf.gz | grep \"1\" <knot:K11n34> <invariant:Determinant> "1" . <knot:K11n42> <invariant:Determinant> "1" . <knot:K11n49> <invariant:Determinant> "1" . <knot:K11n116> <invariant:Determinant> "1" .
This found all the 11 crossing knots with determinant 1, just using some command line tools. "zgrep" is just a version of "grep" which works on gzipped files (nice, huh?), so if you grok the unix command line, you'll see that the above command just picks out every line containing "Determinant", and then every line containing "1" (with quotes).
Maybe one day we'll take advantadge of the fact that these data files are actually RDF. RDF, which stands for "Resource Description Framework", is a simple scheme for describing certain labelled oriented graphs. In particular, these labelled trivalent graphs are those in which edges are labelled by URLs, and vertices are labelled by either URLs or literals (strings, numbers, dates, and a few others), with the extra condition that 'source vertices' can only be labelled by URLs. While this sounds rather restrictive, it's actually rather flexible. You do need to 'make up' URLs to refer to the objects you're interested in — for example <knot:K11n42> is actually a URL, simply prefacing the Knot Atlas's standard notation for the 42nd non-alternating knot with 11 crossings with the string "knot:". Often when writing RDF you don't actually need to make up URLs for the relationships (edges) you're interested in, because there are lots of semi-formalised standards out there, for example DC elements (basic bibliographic information), FOAF (relationships between people), and many others. While taking using the common vocabularies has some nice benefits (e.g. you can often usefully merge graphs from different sources), in this case we need very particular relationships — "this knot has this value for such and such an invariant", so we make up our own URLs for these too — for example <invariant:Determinant> above.
(You might wonder how <knot:K11n42> or <invariant:Determinant> count as "URLs"… Well, at the very top of the file there are two extra lines:
@prefix knot: <http://katlas.org/wiki/> . @prefix invariant: <http://katlas.org/wiki/Invariants/> .
With these, it should be obvious how knot:K11n42 translates into http://katlas.org/wiki/K11n42,which turns out to be a nice human readable page about the knot! Maybe one day it will also be nicely computer readable, using RDFa to include all the data…)
How would we make use of the data being in RDF? Well, there's a nice RDF query language, called SPARQL, which lets you search for subgraphs, with some bound and some unbound labels, and presumably we could easily write something like the KnotInfo page, but perhaps even more powerful.

- 2. Bruce Bartlett - August 20, 2007
Hi Scott,
The Knot Atlas is cool! Wow, 400Mb of data? That's amazing.
So it seems that the issue you have is of getting "semantic" data out the wiki. I think your solution is great, it looks like it works like a bomb. But howcome you don't try Semantic Mediawiki? Perhaps because its not really stable yet, so you couldn't trust it for the volume of data you're talking about?
The one advantage I could think of Semantic Mediawiki is that wiki contributors will be able to write these queries inline, inside the wiki pages. Eg. , want to find all the 11 crossing knots with determinant 1, and insert it into a wiki page? Insert
[[crossingNumber := 11]]
[[hasDeterminant := 1]]
in the wiki page. Or alternatively, go to the Special:Ask page in the wiki. A nice effect of this is that it produces the links to those pages too, so the user can click on them and see if there's perhaps something special about those knots.
Want to export some semantic data as an RDF file? Go to the Special:ExportRDF page. And so on. Anyhow, you're well aware of this stuff, this is a techno-lam-o (ie. me) talking to a technocrat!
The Knot Atlas is a datalover's dream. I think that's a really exciting project. Wikiwise, the stuff you guys do with bots is amazing. I haven't yet learned how to use bots in Mediawiki.

The Eyes of a Child.
Yesterday I had one of the most rewarding experiences of my life:
Sharing yoga practice with a group of young people with physical disabilities.
I had no idea what to expect when I arrived at the appointed time and place, so I wasn't necessarily shocked to see that three of the kids were in wheelchairs. Actually, they were strapped in to prevent their bodies from falling over.
One of them, a tiny, beautiful Asian-American boy came over to me (pushing a button on the armrest of his chair to move) and I asked him his name.
Smiling, he said, "Ananda."
I told him that his name means "bliss" in yoga terminology and he was delighted. As it turned out, the name could not have been more appropriate.
Fortunately we were able to use a gymnastics facility for our session, which was great because it meant we could get the kids off their chairs and onto the floor (they spend the majority of their waking hours in those chairs and consequently have very tight hamstrings and psoas muscles).
There were a lot of volunteers as well as the caretakers and parents who came with their children. This was great because we needed to physically put the kids in poses because they had little if any control of their bodies.
Little Ananda needed to be propped up with several bolsters with someone sitting behind him holding his head. His sister, Nikita, also needed support to sit up.
But can I tell you how joyful those young folks were? They were giggling and cooing and relishing in being on the ground for a mere couple of hours.
We did what we could with the props at our disposal—big balls were great for supported backbends and forward folds, again with several people moving them into the shape and supporting their bodies to hold it.
At one point, Michael, the coordinator (a good-looking guy around 30, also wheelchair-bound, who had just come back from playing in a basketball tournament the day before in Florida) told me that he had never seen the kids out of their wheelchairs for so long. He also had never seen them so involved in any activity. He'd never seen them stretch their bodies like this.
I don't really know if words can convey how ecstatic the experience was. Those kids were so joyful, so fragile and yet, so resilient, so trusting. Everything good and true and beautiful about the world was in the room with us right then.
Another young guy, Sam, around 20, also severely physically disabled, but clearly highly intelligent and also very frustrated to be trapped in his body, told me that he suffers from severe depression. He never gets to move his body the way we did yesterday, never gets to hang out with others stretching and laughing. At one point we had him lying on the ground legs propped up on a stack of gymnastic mats and I sat behind his head holding his wrists as his arms were extending above his head. He told me he couldn't remember the last time he had a full body stretch like that.
Puts things in perspective? Humbling? Rewarding? Words can only gesture.
As we were preparing to finish up, I went back to little Ananda, the tiny bliss boy who exuded laughter and impish delight. I was able to put his little feet on my thighs and lean into him gently to give him a deep lower back stretch. Then I gently extended his legs out and massaged his calves and feet. The look of sheer joy and exuberance on his face was thrilling. Even now my heart is exploding as I remember it. Nothing, no amount of money, no piece of paper, no award could top this. I'm not even sure if my words now can convey the electricity, the sheer delight of the moment. He was a radiant being of light and bliss—he was Ananda. Simply put, it was the highest moment for me in over nine years of teaching yoga.
We ended the morning with a closing circle where everyone said what their favorite thing was. So many of the kids and their caretakers said the best thing was the stretching and getting to move their bodies.
Little Ananda, eyes twinkling, grinning ear to ear, said the best thing was that he got massaged. Even now over 24 hours later, I am pulsating with joy from the experience of being with this little one. I will never forget his face while I was rubbing his feet. The eyes of a child. Words can only gesture. I went there to "teach" them yoga and I left with a heart exploding with love for a tiny ball of bliss who showed me what it is to radiate joy.

What an amazing experience, thanks for sharing. I had a small taste of what this must have been like when I was fortunate enough to work with some older adults with MS. It was such a rewarding experience, they had mostly forgotten what it was like to be in their bodies and were so joyful and appreciative to be moving and feeling their bodies again.
Hi Mark,
thanks for your comment. Isn't it thrilling to have a body and be able to move it? So grateful.
Lovely! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful, as always.
Thanks Roberto!
Brings tears to my eyes… so much to learn! Gurus are sent in all shapes and forms, it seems. Such moments reveal how much we take for granted in life. We need to count our blessings and live in total gratitude for all that we have been blessed with. So appropriate that 'Ananda' had to bring this lesson home to us.
Thank you for this beautiful article, Dearbhla.
Thanks for your comment Rahi. I know, little Ananda is the guru of love and joy…a perfect, fragile, impish flower of a soul in an imperfect body. Total love.
He was such an angel Rahi – joyful, light, happy…a little bodhisattva! Thanks for reading it.

The New Mexico Activities Association announced Tuesday that executive director Gary Tripp will resign his post effective Friday.
Tripp, who has headed the NMAA since 2004, is leaving to assume the role of principal at Zia Pueblo Day School.
The NMAA said a team of three officers, commissioner of officials Dana Sanchez, deputy director Bill Cleland and assistant executive director Sally Marquez, will take over the association's day-to-day operations until a new executive director is hired.
This is not the first time Tripp, who was the athletic director at Rio Rancho before taking over the state's top high school interscholastic sports job, has made plans to resign. Tripp turned in a resignation letter to the NMAA board of directors in summer 2011 that he would retire following the 2011-12 academic year.
However, Tripp rescinded his letter and remained the executive director. But an emergency meeting of the board was called Tuesday morning where Tripp announced his intentions to step down.
Los Alamos athletic director Vicki Nelms, who said she was caught off-guard with Tripp's announcement last year, said she was again surprised by Tuesday's announcement of his resignation.

The 7 Deadly Sins of Conversation
Do these and you're headed straight for friend-less hell.
April 24, 2012 - 11:00 am
Many conversational habits can torpedo your friendships and alienate people. You can slip into them easily; next thing you know, you're wondering why the people at work don't want to go to lunch anymore and your buddies stopped returning your calls. Worse yet, once a bad habit becomes customary it can linger like a bad smell for years, ruining relationships and leaving otherwise wonderful people wondering why they can't make any of their friendships work. Rather than tiptoeing around the elephant corpse rotting in the living room, now's the time we set our sights on these killers hunting down people's social lives
1) Bad manners: In one of my favorite scenes from Season 2 of The Walking Dead, a couple of sketchy guys try to convince Rick to take them back to his camp. After talking a bit, one of them goes over to the corner of the abandoned bar, urinates, and makes a comment about "c**ch." After their bad manners reveal both men as trash, the boring nice guy Rick shoots both of them to death. There is a lesson here. Don't be crude. Don't treat maids or waiters rudely. Don't make an ass of yourself. Because even if it's not aimed at them this time around, other people in your presence will assume it says something about your character and think, "Next time, that might be me."

I just tried to make an appointment with this doctor and the younger woman whom answered the phone was very rude she seemed as though I was annoying her by calling and also not being able to say the doctors name correctly.Nguyen. When she asked me my name we were disconnected..when I phoned back another woman answered in the same annoying manner I said I wish to make an appointment with the doctor and I just called and was disconnected she than says rudely whats your name. I said you know what I don;t think I want to go to this doctor you are all just so rude. I also will be contacting my health care provider to inform them of your lack of professionals at your office.

I got referred to Dr. Nguyen because of an ovarian cyst/tumor I have and I am completely disappointed. He talks way to fast and is a little unprofessional. He must not have looked at my chart because by the end of our appt he didn't even know what age I was. Then he set up appts for me to see a different Dr. and went out of town before telling me who the Dr. was or what I should do next. His staff is completely on responsive, his nurse is unkind. I do not recommend him for anything involving cysts or tumors! He's not my normal OBGYN but I wouldn't go to him for that either.

Amazing OBGYN! Takes his time with his patients, listens to your concerns, and explains anything you don't understand.

LAFARGEVILLE A portion of Route 411 between LaFargeville and Interstate 81 has been closed to traffic due to safety concerns.
The state Department of Transportation said in a news release that concerns regarding the stability of a culvert carrying Route 411 over a branch of the Chaumont River approximately 1.5 miles east of the hamlet of LaFargeville prompted the road closure.
Several signs and message boards have already been put up alerting motorist of the closure and directing traffic to Route 12 and Route 180.

Top 10 Superfoods for Superhealth (…& outrageously simple lessons from chimpanzees).
Not just Woody Harrelson and Sting are going crazy for superfoods.
Also our closest cousins, the friendly chimps (we so often forget), are champing down on the latest food craze.
Imagine a food that contains high levels of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals that can add years to your life, reduce your risk of anything from heart disease and cancer to diabetes and arthritis, make you feel and look better, and has no side effects…
My philosophy is that nature intended all food to be "super!" It's just that modern farming methods mean the stuff you find in your supermarket is far less than "super!" Wild foods—the wilder the better (the way nature intended them)—are true superfoods.
When we live according to nature, and listen to our bodies, health and vitality come as a natural consequence. Crucial elements of health like nutrition, clean flowing water, clean air, activity/exercise, sunlight, love and passion all work like alchemy to create an optimal homeostatic balance in the body system.
With our busy, stressed lifestyles and polluted cities, some of these factors have become impaired, hence heightening the importance of superfoods to stave off stress and the onset of chronic diseases.
I have targeted foods which lower blood sugar levels, which is an essential aspect in slowing aging and preventing chronic illnesses. For this reason, I've omitted bee superfoods. Russian beekeepers commonly lived over 100 years on a daily diet of raw honey!
I've chosen the most readily available superfood categories and the easiest to find, depending on seasonal factors.
My Top 10 Superfoods for Super health:
1. Dark Leafy Greens
Visibly the most abundant life on Earth—perhaps nature gave us a strong hint.
Chimpanzees are our closest earthly relations and 40 percent of their diet is made up of greens.
Chlorophyll gives these super greens their color, and it increases blood hemoglobin levels, thus creating more oxygen-rich blood— "gold" for our cells.
Greens are the most common omission from modern-day diets, even by vegetarians, often a causative factor in cancer and heart disease. The alkalinity of greens balances our pH levels, and such balance is essential because our cells function within a narrow acid-alkaline range.
Leafy greens like parsley, weeds, broccoli, kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, rocket, watercress, endive, chicory, dandelion, Swiss chard, collards and spinach, as well as grasses (e.g. wheat and barley grass) are swimming in nutrients from folate, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, vitamins A, C to K (essential for healthy blood clotting).
2. Berries
Berries (goji, golden inca, noni, acai, blueberry, etc.) are abundant in antioxidants and magical blood cleansers that are filled with essential heart-healthy nutrients good for everything from anti-aging to eye health (zeaxanthin).
3. Mushrooms
Mushrooms rule!
Super fungi have a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern science now firmly establishing them as superfoods. Mushrooms are rich in nutrients including potassium, B vitamins, iron and selenium. They also contain virtually no fat, and contain fabulous immune-boosting and antioxidant compounds proven to block the growth of cancer cells.
4. Nuts and Seeds
From hempseed, flaxseed, walnut, almond, and brazil nuts to pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and macadamia, these nutrient-rich energy powerhouses each have the potential stored energy to grow a tree, which produces fruit for generations. They are rich in minerals, heart-healthy unsaturated fats, protein and phytosterols.
5. Fermented Foods
As old as civilization, fermented foods (yogurt, miso, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, tempeh, amasake, kimchi, umeboshi plums, natto) have been known to be probiotic-rich (containing lactobacilli, good flora, and an array of gut-healthy enzymes).
Fermentation predigests food to create probiotics, which allow greater absorption of essential minerals and vitamins (e.g. B12 and C), and act as antioxidants reducing cancer risk. Choose unpasteurized "active" or "live" cultures.
6. Seaweed
Seaweed (nori, kelp, dulse, arame, wakame, kombu) contains an abundant iodine content that stimulates weight-loss and reduces cellulite.
Ocean life is the most nutrient-rich on Earth. Seaweed is close to blood plasma, purifying and alkalizing blood, countering toxins like heavy metals and radiation by promoting their elimination, and helping to break down fatty deposits. Seaweed also contains more than enough calcium (up to 10 times the amount in milk!)
7. Algae
Algae (chlorella, spirulina, dunaliella, blue-green algae, red-marine algae, marine phytoplankton) are an ideal vitamin-mineral package, exhibiting characteristics of both plant and animal. A soft cell wall allows easy absorption of a rich supply of phytonutrients—including trace elements, amino acids, B12, chlorophyll, omega-3 essential fatty acids and enzymes.
Algae improve brain and immune function, promote detoxification, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and improve energy and endurance. Blue Green Algae (e.g. from Klamath Lake) is the richest sources of chlorophyll reported. Spirulina is the richest protein source so far discovered on earth.
8. Sprouts
When a seed containing all the elements required for life is germinated, it is also activated and predigested, thus liberating energy, enzymes, phytonutrients, antioxidants, fuel for cells and abundant "life force."
Sprouts prevent cancer and promote longevity. My favorites are alfalfa and fenugreek.
9. Herbs
Herbal superfoods are packed with potent phytonutrients and disease-preventing medicinal qualities.
Everyone has heard of the magical properties of rejuvenating "superfood healer" garlic (including antiseptic, anti-coagulant, anti-fungal, antibiotic, antiviral, reduces cholesterol) and ginger (increases blood circulation, prevents nausea, lower cholesterol, relieves pain). My other favorites are cinnamon, turmeric and cayenne pepper.
10. Lemon
At number 10, I'm punting for the humble lemon due to its ubiquity in most kitchens. Lemon has an alkalizing action on the human body—improving liver function, digestion and detoxification. It improves immune function, fights infection, is an antioxidant, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, prevents cancer, relieves throat infections and even whitens teeth!

[…] There are several "superfoods" that a vegan diet will require in order to balance the amino acids within each food.

Joan Cusack: The TV Squad Interview
In the movie, which debuts on Saturday at 9PM ET, Cusack plays Nina Rockefeller, the hard-driving and high-strung mother of the movie's protagonist, Taylor (played by Mae Whitman of Arrested Development). The movie examines the pressure on high school overachievers to go to just the "right" college, and the story is told in a way that looks at it from both the students' and the parents' perspectives.
Cusack called me from Chicago (where she lives full-time) earlier this week. We talked about college pressures, if the notion of a Lifetime movie has changed, and why she loves working with her brother John so damn much.
What attracted you to the project?
Well, I think at this point in my career, it's one of those things where I'm looking to find work that fits in my life, because I've got two small boys, and then find something that's meaningful to do. Because, you know, otherwise it's just... it feels pointless sometimes.
And just straight-on entertainment is not pointless to me. I don't mean to be pejorative. I just look for something that has some kind of meaning to it. So when this came along, it worked well for me and my family, and I thought it had a really good point about the pressure for students going into college, feeling so much pressure that they're struggling pretty severely, and not able to just look and find the right fit.
Your kids aren't college-aged yet at this point yet, right?
No. They are 9 and 12. But I have friends that are going through that stuff.
Did the script ring true with what your experience was with what your friends are going through?
Oh yeah. I think there's so much pressure on these kids. And a lot of the Ivy Leagues have these parents over a barrel, where they feel like if they don't get into the best school, their children's lives will be a failure. And they can't even think clearly about all the options that are out there that really are the right fit.
Did it change your perspective on where your kids might go to college?
I hadn't thought about it that way. Because there are some parents whose kids are in grade school who do think about colleges. And fortunately, I don't have that particular burden. But no, obviously, it's just one of those things that is along the lines of how are you being a thoughtful person in your life, whether it's with your work, or with your children, or your family. This just happened to have a thoughtfulness about it. And so I try to be thoughtful.
Did you have any preconceived notions, knowing what Lifetime has done over the last 20 years of TV movies, about what the project might be like?
I'd spoken to Lifetime before about different things, and I really love that it's a channel for women. Iit's just one of those things where, once again, you can skip over it because you think it's not cool. But you're missing the boat if you're looking for stuff that relates to content that might be more meaningful. It's just kind of more of the same.
A lot of people, when they think of Lifetime, think of the 'woman in peril' movies that they used to be well-known for. Do you think the network is starting to change people's perceptions of what a Lifetime movie might be?
I think that the whole industry is just in such an identity crisis that it's a great opportunity to create content that's meaningful, and attract viewers based on that. So it's, I think all the channels are struggling to find their audience. And the good news is, you have to really be thoughtful about what's going to make someone want to come and watch your channel. So I think it's a good time for Lifetime.
You haven't done much TV since your series What About Joan. Would you want to do another series?
I loved doing that show, and I love doing TV stuff. And I'm working hard to try to find a television show that I can do here in Chicago. I love ensemble work, and I love the regular schedule of it. I think there's a lot of opportunities right now in TV.
But the goal is to stay in Chicago, right?
Yeah. I mean, first of all, have you been to Chicago?
Many times. I love the place.
It's an awesome place, right? And I use that word "awesome" because I have two young boys. (chuckles) It's just one of those things where that's the hard part about being in this business, is not living and working in the same place. So if I could do it, it would be ideal.
But if it were shooting in Los Angeles, or Vancouver, or some other place, would it be something that you would consider?
I couldn't because I couldn't leave my kids.
It's just too much time away from home, I'm guessing?
Well, you know what? They're just young for so long. I don't know if you have kids, but it's just one of those things where I can't think... for me personally, it's the most meaningful thing I do in my life.
I don't want to be a helicopter parent, but I want to be there and help them grow. I can work...I love working. And I think it's good for your soul to work, and I want to work. But I also want to be able to be there to help them.
Your character Nina at first just looks like your typical hard-driving, over-achieving parent. But obviously, there's something underneath. When you look at that kind of character, do you see those layers and start figuring out how to bring them out?
I think people don't start out as being bad parents. People are complex. And I think there's a lot of reasons why if you look good, and you look like you've got it together, you could hang your self-esteem on that. And obviously, it doesn't work, if that's the only thing you do.
So it makes for an incomplete picture. And I think a lot of people do that. And they're not totally satisfied. So that just shows up, and putting pressure (on yourself), because you're not fulfilled, (and) on your kids to do that for you. Happens all the time. I don't mean it pejoratively, I just think it's misguided. And it's sad, because these kids are really struggling.
Do the parents have higher expectations for them than the kids do themselves? Is it the parents projecting on their kids?
Yeah, I think it's...you know what, if your kid looks perfect, then you'll be perfect. It comes out of love. I think the character really loves her daughter. She wants the best for her. She just doesn't realize that putting that much pressure on somebody and projecting your things onto them may not be what's best for the child itself.
Your co-star, Mae Whitman, was best known for her role on Arrested Development. Had you seen her work there at all?
I hadn't seen her work there. But my brother played her father right before I played her mother. (laughing) Which is kind of funny.
She shot a movie with John right before Acceptance?
Yes. Mmm-hmmm.
What's the name of the movie?
I can't remember. But so we love her. She's adorable.
What do you think she brings to her character on Acceptance that makes it beyond the usual teenage role?
She's so experienced, and talented, and got it together, and thoughtful. She's just got her acting chops down. So she can do it.
Two more questions and then I'm gonna let you go. They're both about working with your brother.
Ok. Love it.
I can tell, because you're in so many movies together. Any plans to work with John in the near future? And what is it about working with him that you enjoy and makes you keep coming back to projects that he's doing?
Well, I'm so proud of him, because I've thought about a million things I'd love to do, and I've never... I haven't been able to make one of them happen. And he makes them happen. It's so hard to get something made and done in this business. It's just incredibly difficult. And he does it. And he does it with the sensibility that I appreciate.
It's family. You have a similar sensibility and it's, a tough business, and I love that to be able to be supportive is, I think, civilized to say the least.
Do you find it interesting, though, that because you guys are in so many roles together, people still buy you as the two characters and not siblings? Can you explain the acting chemistry between the two of you?
Well, I think I really enjoy him, personally. I think he's really funny, and smart, and I appreciate how hard he works. You know, and he's a good person. And it's a really, really hard business. It looks glamorous, and people get paid nicely, but the realities of it are, you know, psychologically, it's a very cruel business. And so...
So it's good to have that support?
The last movie you guys were in together was War Inc. right?
When he brings you a controversial movie like that, a script that's going to definitely be like polarizing, is it your faith in him that helps that? If somebody else brought it to you, would you not be so sure?
I think it's one of those things where if you love someone and you know how hard they are working on something, and they want you to come and do it, and be supportive of it, and you know you're going to go and laugh, it's easy to say yes.
Do you wish more people saw that movie?
Um, I think...sure.
So is that the type of movie you get really disappointed in if it doesn't do well?
You know what, in this business, it goes back to the movie Lifetime. You just have to accept that there's serendipity things and you know, you don't have a lot of control over a lot of stuff. So you just do the best you can do. And hopefully, it'll be the right fit.
