Two remarks on the length spectrum of a Riemannian manifold
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We demonstrate that every closed manifold of dimension at least two admits smooth metrics with respect to which the length spectrum is not a discrete subset of the real line. In contrast, we show that the length spectrum of any real analytic metric on a closed manifold is a discrete subset of the real line. In particular, the length spectrum of any closed locally homogeneous space forms a discrete set.

"I wanted to make something that was really grand and epic, that was really composed, and maybe kind of mythic, in the way that a lot of those protometal bands were trying to do," Ezra Feinberg of Citay says, his postpsychedelic, postmetal outfit. Feinberg is inspired by hard rock–metal bands of the late 1960s and 1970s, such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, whose used power chords as the basis for their grand, jazz-inspired, narrative song structures.

CHICAGO -- All-American Doug McDermott, preparing to hold a full-time job for the first time in his life, can appreciate leaving one part of college life at Creighton.
The 6-foot-7 small forward said Thursday at Quest Multisport facility the one constant of life in Omaha he'll be glad to leave behind is the persistent question: "What's it like playing for your dad?"
McDermott, a projected first-round pick who played for his father Greg all four years with the Bluejays, is one of many likely to be drafted in the top 30 picks skipping on-court drills at the 2014 NBA Draft Combine, which began Thursday morning and concludes Friday at the near Westside facility.
Walking past a row of pro basketball demigods who will help determine his future -- Jerry West, Tim Hardaway Sr., Danny Ainge -- and current coaches, including Boston's Brad Stevens and Rick Carlisle of the Dallas Mavericks, McDermott was a popular target for media. McDermott is keeping a crowded itinerary this weekend even without taking the court.
He met with a dozen teams in Chicago with more waiting Friday.
He is not big or fast, but in 145 college games he drained 1,145 field goals. What scouts know is McDermott knows how to score.
What McDermott believes he must prove is that he can defend small forwards and versatile power forwards, and handle the ball well enough not to be a detriment on the wing.
"Kind of a mix of three and four," McDermott said of what position he can play at the next level. "I'm not a lockdown guy, but I think I can surprise some people with my competitiveness."
McDermott said he looks up to former Creighton sharpshooter Kyle Korver (Atlanta Hawks), Brooklyn Nets guard Paul Pierce and former Minnesota Timberwolves Wally Szczerbiak, the sixth overall pick in the 1999 draft from Miami (Ohio) to whom he's often compared.
In 2013, Sports Illustrated reprised a cover shoot in which Larry Bird posed with Indiana State cheerleaders in the 1977. McDermott posed with two cheerleaders in a similar pose, which he said he resisted initially -- asking SI, "are you sure you want to do this with one of the greatest to ever play?" Though teammates harassed him about the magazine that sold out in locations in Omaha, McDermott was put at ease when he learned Bird appreciated it.
McDermott said he cannot recall ever being compared to a "non-white" player and while he understands the narrowed focus of those drawing the parallels, he did offer Antawn Jamison as a player others see in his game.
"It's hard, because it's all I hear," he said.

A choke is a choke on a shotgun ... you have to pattern them to see if they are really what they say. Ain't no such thing as a Turkey Choke, if there was there'd be a Duck Choke, Goose Choke, Quail Choke, Dove Choke, etc ... all to sell something you don't need. Cyl, Skeet, Imp Cyl, Mod, Imp Mod, Full just about covers all bases. With that said, your load velocity will also affect the pattern. Overload a shotshell and you get what is called a blown pattern ... or a donut, with a hole in the middle. I use a full choke with #5 shot for head shots. Some like #4 ... but others insist that #7½ is best for head shots. Pattern them and see what gives you the best results. If you are shooting the body, you'll have to figure out what size shot and load will give you the best results without ruining too much meat.

Bow Holder Frame

It's easy to misplace bows and hair clips. A Bow Holder Frame is a great option if you want to keep all of your accessories in one place. This is a cute and girly upcycled idea from Jamielyn Nye that little girls will love.
- Large frame
- Spray paint
- Cotton Batting
- Scissors
- Fabric
- Hot Glue gun
- Ribbon
- Velcro dots
- Ric rac
- Find a large frame and remove the picture and cardboard. Keep the cardboard. That will be your backing. Then give the frame a few coats of spray paint.
- Next you will need to find some cotton batting that will cover the entire cardboard. I think I doubled the batting if I remember right. Then you will fold the batting over the cardboard and hot glue it down. Trim off any excess batting to remove bulk.
- Next you will need to buy enough fabric to cover the entire board.
- You will begin by folding the fabric over the cardboard and hot gluing it down.
- When you get to the corners, make a diagonal cut.
- Then fold in the other side and glue. Once your fabric is all glued down you'll need to start gathering some ribbon.
- Measure and cut your ribbon accordingly and then glue on the back side of the cardboard.
- I placed velcro dots on the ric rac to hang my velcro flowers. I make most of my flowers and place a velcro dot on the back of them, so I can interchange them.
- I also found this at goodwill for a dollar and thought it would be perfect to hang headbands. All I did was spray paint it blue and then distressed the edges a little. I've also seen these at crafts stores for 3 or 4 bucks. So with a coupon only 2 bucks. Not bad!

Red States Have Higher Crime Rates Than Blue States
A Smart Politics analysis of the recently released 2008 Uniform Crime Reports finds that red states across the nation have both higher violent and property crime rates than blue states, across several measures of partisanship.
The average violent crime rate (murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault) in 2008 for the 28 states that voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential election was 389 incidents per 100,000 residents. The average violent crime rate for the 22 states that voted for John McCain was 412 incidents per 100,000 residents – or a 5.8 percent higher incidence of violent crime.
For example, 2 of the top 3 states with the highest violent crime rates in the nation in 2008 voted for McCain: South Carolina (#1) and Tennessee (#3). (Nevada was #2).
The difference was even more pronounced for property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft). Obama states had an average property crime rate of 2,989 incidents per 100,000 residents, with McCain states averaging a rate of 3,228 – or an 8.0 percent higher incidence of property crime.

Talk about grabbing life by the horns. Remington King, a freshman at Ohio State University, has already made a name for himself, primarily with his beloved 50-head herd of Texas Longhorn cattle. Thanks to them, as well as to his ambition to educate others about the breed, he's won numerous awards and recognitions, started the Longhorn show at the York Fair in southeastern Pennsylvania as his senior project, and holds the pride of being a fourth-generation farmer.
Freshly graduated in June from Bermudian Springs High School, York Springs, Pa., King already misses his friends that he made during his years with his FFA chapter. His junior year, he was an officer and also the student council representative. When he became a senior, he stepped up to be president.
One of the many rewards he received during his time at high school was the chance to compete at the Pennsylvania FFA Convention, June 11-13, at Penn State. He came away with a beef placement proficiency award, a plaque and $250. To prepare for the competition, King, as herd manager at his family-owned organic farm — Latimore Valley Farms — had to keep track of breeding and herd records. As for any teenager, balancing school work, home work, farm work and a dream is mighty hard.
"There is always something to do," King said recently. "It gets harder to find time. I would try to write down (the data) everyday, as much as I could, but there were times where one or two weeks would go past and I had to rush to record the information."
With his win comes the opportunity to represent Pennsylvania in the beef placement proficiency category at the National FFA Convention this fall, Oct. 30 to Nov. 2, in Louisville, Ky. For King, the drive to Kentucky will start in Ohio before meeting up with five to six other Bermudian Springs High School FFA members to head south. It sounds like a taxing trip, but King is excited that there will be time to catch up with the Bermudian friends he left behind.
Once at the convention, King will be stuck in a waiting game as his records are judged for organization and completeness.
"I don't really have much to do," he said. "(I'll) hope and pray it goes well."
King said that FFA has provided him with many opportunities, including helping start his college career.
"(FFA is) a chance to meet new people," King said. "If interested in agriculture, there is an event for it — for money, for experience — a little bit of everything for everyone. Since I am getting out of it, I want to see my brother (Quinton, a sophomore at Bermudian Springs High School) at the convention, and I hope to see if they're putting on something better for the future generation."
Always thinking about the future implications of his actions and the future of his farm, King is attending Ohio State University for engineering. He received a full-ride scholarship to attend, with his tuition for the next four years being paid as well as 75 percent of his room and board.
Asked about his choice to pursue engineering, King said it was a thought-out process. During his senior year in high school, his FFA chapter visited Krone Equipment — a company that sells hay and forage equipment — to learn more about the machines, network with industry leaders and check out the new products.
"That was when I was deciding what to do," King said. "I was always big into the equipment — tractors and such — hopefully I'll specialize in equipment, maybe get a job with (Krone) in the future."
His family, an important part of King's life, also had a say in what course of action he took when it came to college.
"My mother said I'd better go to school for something other than farming. If something happened to the farm, it'd be better to have different skills."
With plans to one day takeover the family farm, King is in a good position to do so. He remembers when his father, Roger King, set up their farm, Latimore Valley Farms Inc., in 2000, as an organic operation.
"It was just becoming a popular thing, to be organic," Remington King recalled. "We were at the head front and wanted to get ahead of it — be one of the first to do it. It made sense." Not only that, but his sister, Samantha, 19, had asthma and found it hard to breathe around pesticides. The switch to organic seemed to be the best solution.
Since that time, Latimore Valley Farms has become quite a production. They sell "a little bit of everything," he said.
Roger King grows the apples that are made into apple juice and applesauce; the farm's varieties of vegetables are sold from Maine clear down to Florida; and grain and soybeans take root in the farm's soil as well. In total, the Kings own about 500 acres.
Farming has been in Remington King's blood for generations. His grandfathers on both sides of his family own 100 acres each that they've farmed, and his mother, Jodi King, farmed for some time.
The Longhorn cattle that King manages is one of the many things he misses while away at college. He quickly dismisses the idea that Longhorns have a temper, calling the idea a long-held "myth."
"I rarely have a problem with them being mean," he said. "We spend a lot of time with the calves, so that helps.
"I love the Longhorns and their colors. You never know what you're going to get."
He doesn't like to play favorites, but his first bull, named Dbl Trouble, is attached to him "a bit," as he puts it. The dark brown-and-white Longhorn was national high point bull winner in 2011. His pet steer, Field Marshal, has been to 25 shows across the country with King and is an elite Longhorn — meaning he has 200 points, the highest point level possible.
He hopes to make the most of his college career, but getting back to the farm is his highest priority.
"(College) is not something you want," he said. "If I had a choice ..." he paused, "I wouldn't go." He mentions, however, that his future depends on the next four years. "The faster I get this over with, the faster I can get back to the farm."

Hi Tulse: pls let me know if you find this airturn approach actually works. I too am suspicious of the ad blitz, but, like you, I need a solution better than the iPhone remote. Thanks again for keeping us all informed on this important topic.
btw, I had a chance to speak with an Apple engineer a while back, and he acknowledged the need for a sensible BT remote for iPad. He also hinted that Apple really was thinking abt ways to meet this need.

I bought a mini bluetooth keyboard which works well with the iPad to advance tracks, type and adjust volume, but the minute you go into Keynote the keyboard stops working. It seems Apple have chosen not to integrate Keynote with the basic inputs that work generally with the iPad - which is why you have to discover your remote within Keynote itself when using an iPhone as a remote. Surely this is nothing more than a software tweak to get any bluetooth device to connect?
I also took a chance and plugged the bluetooth dongle from my much loved and faithful Kensington remote into the camera kit. It comes up with the usual 'device not supported' nonsense, but unlike a regular usb keyboard plugged into an iPad it does not adnvance the slides. Very frustrating.

I just looked at the link last posted by Ginny (AirTurn). Their need was for a footswitch controlled remote for musicians (certainly sensible), and the video link provided shows that it indeed works. It would seem simple enough to devise a small hand-held BT switcher like the Logitec to replace the footswitch. How abt it Ginny (just one post pls)?
Techno-Nut Mar 22, 2012 7:02 AM
in response to dab7418
Dab, I think that you will find that although it may work with many other apps it still will not work with Keynote. My opinion is that Keynote is the issue, not iOS or hardware. You get adaptors that allow you to run vga out and usb memory devices simultaneously. If only Apple would open up the communication between USB input devices and Keynote the problem would be solved. Then even the Kensington which Apple sells will work.
Tulse Mar 22, 2012 9:47 AM
in response to Techno-Nut
The technical issue, as far as I can see, is simply that Keynote itself (and not iOS in general) does not support the standard Bluetooth "Human Interface Device Profile". This is a standard that defines basic keyboard and mouse input for Bluetooth, and is what devices like keyboards use. It is also the profile that some third parties use for alternate devices, mapping things like cursor controls and mouse clicks to other bits of hardware, like a handheld clicker.
Instead of supporting this common standard for Keynote remote control, Apple seems to have intentionally chosen to create its own solution, one that only works with iPhones. I say "intentionally", because the HID profile already works on iOS in general (which is why, for example, any third party Bluetooth keyboard works), and it would seemingly entail effort on Apple's part to prevent it from working in this case.
(This is also why I am dubious of Ginny's claims -- as far as I know, Apple has not released/licensed its proprietary Keynote remote method to anyone else, and no standard Bluetooth profile works.)
So in short, Apple could fix this situation with almost no effort, by allowing Keynote for iOS to be controlled by the standard HID Bluetooth profile, just like it is on OS X. Support for this profile already exists in iOS, so it would only be a matter of letting Keynote "listen" for such devices when in presentation mode. If Apple did this, a huge array of third party Bluetooth clickers and controllers would be available to presenters. Until it does so, we're stuck with only the iPhone.

Precisely, but instead they spend their time over-engineering a display and trying to get 4 times more pixels than the human eye can even perceive - that's what you get when you refuse to do market research and insist that "it's not the consumers' job to know what they want". I'm glad that I didn't jump in at the deep end with Apple. The iPad I bought to use for presentations is being used by my kids as a toy - totally useless to me. Will stick with my faithful Sony Vaio...
ApMaX Mar 24, 2012 3:24 AM
in response to Bill in Palo Alto
The ultimate presentation tool is not based on iOS, but on Mac OS X. Mostly if you need as much as possible compatibility with the Keynote and PowerwPoint created on a Mac or Windows desktop or laptop. And even then the compatibility is not always 100%. There are incompatibilities even between different versions of Keynote, between different versions of PowerPoint, and even more between Windows and Mac and iOS and Mac.
Currently the best presentation tool from Apple is the MacBook Air 11-inch. Hopefully a 400 to 600 g Mac (whatever form factor: clamshell, slider or tablet) will be available in the future, being as small as possible. The Mac in your pocket, purse or bag. Always. It is not for heavy work. Just for the Keynote and PowerPoint presentations.

Hi have you guys tried using your apple tv, with a wifi connection and your ipad...I currently connect my apple tv to my projector with an hdmi cable. I added the apple tv and my ipad to the wireless connection and in a crunch I use my wifi hotspot on my phone. I use the IPAD with keynote or any other program and use the airplay feature to wirelessly connect my ipad to the apple tv/ which is connected to the projector.
I can control the presentation and any other program on my ipad or itouch and how it displays on the overhead projector.

That's an idea a couple of us were talking about during a meeting last week. I had my iPad connected to a projector by VGA cable, as it's an older projector without HDMI input, and we were commenting on a need to do that wirelessly. Another use for this is at trade shows. Set up a large screen TV with an Apple TV and a local WiFi bubble. A show staffer with an iPad can walk over to the TV, activate mirroring, and show a visitor a much larger display of what is appearing on the iPad. I priced all the parts, including a portable TV stand, and this can happen for around $800. It's also usable again and again.
There are some very small, inexpensive routers available. One I saw on Cult of Mac is the TP-Link 702N, which is barely the size of a credit card. I don't know how effective this particular model is, but it's one of many small, reasonably priced routers. Although, if you have a new Verizon iPad with a hotspot, I suppose you don't have to worry about the router.
But still, everyone here keeps running around with duct tape and bungie cords trying to find a way around a simple need. Just give us the ability to have a small, hand-held clicker that works via Bluetooth so we don't have to hold an iPad/iPhone in our hand to give a wireless presentation. There are a thousand of these devices in the USB world. Geez, how hard can this be?

6. Launch your iphone Keynote App and go to SETTING. Select the Keynote Link to get the 4 digit passcode. At the same time, your iphone will appear on your iPad "Remote Settings" screen. Click the LINK button on the iPad.
Enter the 4-digit passcode
7. If all goes well, you should now have remote control on your iPad Keynote.
Problem remains on how to get the slide to fill up the whole screen. Any idea?

Great. But the iPhone is heavy, large and awkward as a presentation remote itself when compared to marvels like the Keyspan Presentation Remote by Tripp Lite model PR-US2:
Apple should allow kind of pesentation remotes (or equivalent) to worth with any iOS device, like the iPot touch, iPhone and iPad.

Just saw this Bluetooth remote on Cult of Mac:
http://www.cultofmac.com/169584/bluetooth-remote-for-your-iphone-isnt-as-dumb-as -it-seems/
The specs are kind of fuzzy when it comes to Keynote on iPad support. I've emailed the company for clarification that I'll share once I hear from Satechi.
I'm not holding my breath on this one. I would think that any company that comes out with a Keynote/iPad remote capability would push that hard in its marketing.

Jackreidy, that looks awesome. Just what millions have been waiting for. Now, we just need PowerPoint for iOS (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad): the ultimate presentation tool. Many thanks!

Damn why would they call it Civil War if most of the important things are gone
After a horrific tragedy raises questions on whether or not super heroes should register with the government, longtime Avengers teammates Captain America and Iron Man end up on opposite sides of the argument! Writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven split the Marvel Universe in two as friend fights friend in one of the most celebrated and successful events of all-time!
Damn why would they call it Civil War if most of the important things are gone
why wouldn't marvel turn the civil war movie event into the entire phase 3 then have the infinity war in phase 4
start driving the yachts full of cash to Sony to get the rights back for spiderman so that you guys can do this Civil War movie right. pretty big deal for Parker to 'come out' in the story. but then again, how would you put that genie back in the bottle in the MCU? if Spidey: OMD get's made into a flick, it's suicide booth time....
Anyone know where I can find civil war with the other front cover where captain america is in the center looking down, on the left is wolverine, spidey etc. and on the right is iron man, the fantastic four etc. Please reply soon :)
For me, this will always be the best event in the entire Marvel Universe. This is the story that kept me on edge from the day it was announced back when I was in high school.
why did they take down the suggested reading order it made it easier to find issues
@janak1802 @btm5540 Where'd you find the button for that?
@janak1802 @btm5540 yeah...how did you find that?
@btm5540 They didn't it's on a separate page now. http://marvel.com/comics/discover/114/civil-war-the-complete-event
@scar7stitches @janak1802 @btm5540
According to the URL it's in Discovery rather than Browse Character Events and Cross Overs. Still a bit "round-a-bout" if you ask me.
@janak1802 @btm5540 Is this devoid of issues for anyone else as of 6/5/15? I was using it yesterday fine
@StAmuriah @scar7stitches @janak1802 @btm5540 its kind of stupid that we have to use the discover tab to get the recommended reading order.. but when you browse events you get tie-ins seperated.. very frustrating, considering discover doesn't even have a search function
i want to see movie(s) on this
@deapoolfan435 I have a theory that Marvel is building to Civil War for Avengers 3. I think it will be Iron Man/Hulk vs. Cap/Thor. Then the rest of the heroes fall in line behind them. I think Black Widow takes over Spider-Man's role in the book by starting with Stark and switching to Cap. She has ties to both of them, and it could even make for a neat love triangle. I think Cap gets assassinated, and then we get Bucky to take over as Cap. Even better, maybe Cap 4 is about Bucky and Falcon fighting over who should wear the Flag?!?
A Civil War movie would also be a way to introduce a whole lot of superheroes without the need for origin stories and even integrate the Netflix TV shows into the cinematic universe (DD, Luke Cage, Iron Fist).
I think making Thanos the villain in Avengers 3 is just too obvious, and Marvel has done a really good job of keeping us guessing. Let's face it, NO ONE guess that SHIELD was going to be disbanded in Winter Soldier. So, using the same villain we've known about for 3+ years doesn't seem likely.
@Copywriter2001 @deapoolfan435 Spider-Man's role is more than just being a turncoat. His revealing himself is a big event, and Black Widow doesn't really have a secret identity in the same way he does.
@ClockworkPirate I agree that it's not a perfect one-for-one trade off. But secret identities aren't really a thing in the MCU (at least not until the new Daredevil Netflix series comes out). Iron Man, Cap, and Thor are all known identities. And even at the end of Winter Soldier we see Black Widow testifying in front of congress with her real name.
It's kind of an interesting comment on our current (vapid) celebrity culture that they haven't gone the route of secret identities yet in the MCU. Let's face it, if super heroes were real in our world, they would be chased by paparazzi and TMZ, and they would probably have sponsorship deals (like Captain Amazing in Mystery Men).
@Copywriter2001 @deapoolfan435 Nope....Thanos and the Infinity gauntlet for Avengers 3
@timtones @Copywriter2001 @deapoolfan435 Yeah, I was off on this prediction. However, I'm pretty excited about Cap: Civil War. I think it's smart to make it a smaller movie. Hopefully, it's just Cap vs. Stark, and leave the rest of the heroes out of it. That could be pretty cool.
I will make another prediction: The thing that sets Cap and Tony on a collision course will be Tony trying to seek revenge on Bucky for killing Howard and Maria Stark. Cap: Winter Soldier heavily implied (if not outright stated) that the Winter Soldier was responsible for their death. So, maybe Tony is trying to get revenge and cloaks that in a push for a super hero registration act in order to get Bucky to surface. I don't know. That would be really interesting.
Aren't There more tie-ins than that? Or is it limited to only showing 20, because I'd like a complete list.
@Laustin http://marvel.com/comics/discover/114/civil-war-the-complete-event it's in suggested order too.
Great event. I'm nearly finished with every one of the tie-ins.

A gun show is a temporary exhibition or gathering in the United States where firearms, firearm accessories, ammunition, literature, knives, jerky, military, and miscellaneous collectibles are displayed, bought, sold, traded, and discussed. Gun shows also often include exhibitions related to hunting and the preparation and preservation of wild game for consumption. They also may be used by gun manufacturers to demonstrate new firearm models—or by gun enthusiasts to exhibit antique or unusual guns.

People are often surprised to learn that nearly 4,000 persons have been diagnosed with AIDS in the 14-county Central New York region since cases were first reported in 1982. The most recent numbers released by the New York State AIDS Institute reveal approximately 2,000 persons living with AIDS and 1,300 persons living with HIV in the region.
The Atrium at City Hall Commons, East Washington Street, Syracuse will be the site of the Central New York HIV Care Network's annual observance of the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial on Sunday, May 17, from 4 to 5 p.m.
The Network joins with 3,000 communities in 85 countries to mark the 27th observance of the Candlelight Memorial. The public is invited to attend the program to express support -- and to learn more about the impact of HIV/AIDS if they are not yet aware of the public health crisis that is HIV/AIDS. The program will include musical offerings, reflections on the changing nature of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and time for silent reflection. HIV/AIDS service providers will display information about their programs and volunteer opportunities and be available to answer questions.
As the AIDS epidemic edges toward the end of its third decade, approximately 56,000 new cases of HIV and AIDS are diagnosed each year in the U.S. -- even though infection is completely preventable when appropriate measures are followed. It is more important than ever to educate the public about risks for transmitting the virus, about current medical treatment (still no cure in sight), and about the need for treatment and support for increasing numbers of survivors living with HIV or AIDS. As medical treatment in the U.S. has largely eliminated the horrifying images of AIDS patients at death's door, many people remain unaware of the continuing impact of the epidemic.

Dillon freshman quarterback Avery McCall Thursday picked up his second offer from USC. He was offered earlier by East Carolina. USC recruiter Shawn Elliott passed on word of the offer to Dillon coach Jackie Hayes. "He came by to see (DJ) Park and (Bryce) King and he said, 'by the way, tell your quarterback we've got a place for him.'" Hayes proceeded to tell McCall during weight training later in the day. "He seemed pretty excited,' Hayes said. "He's only 14 years old. He doesn't really know what's going on." McCall was the junior varsity quarterback and didn't make his first varsity start until the 10th game of the season. He finished the varsity season with 1100 passing yards and 13 touchdowns and completed 71% of his attempts.Tweet

Recently, when I was rereading Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, I was very struck by this observation about the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire:
The death of Guillaume Apollinaire at this time made a very serious difference to all his friends apart from their sorrow at his death. It was the moment just after the war when many things had changed and people naturally fell apart. Guillaume would have been a bond of union, he always had a quality of keeping people together, and now that he was gone everybody ceased to be friends.
The "quality of keeping people together" seems an important and rare attribute, and although it doesn't come naturally to me, I'm trying to do a better job of it myself, and also to appreciate more the work of the Apollinaire-ish types whose efforts benefit me.
This quality has been on my mind since the sad occasion of a memorial service of a friend. I knew her in a work context, but at the service, I realized from the tributes of her college friends that, along with many other wonderful traits, she had the "quality of keeping people together" from that time.
My sister is this way, too, and from watching her in action, I know how much energy and time it takes to act like glue, to make the efforts that allow people to stay close.

MENLO PARK, Calif. Depomed has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration for a 1,000 mg strength of Glumetza tablets. Glumetza is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adult patients with Type 2 diabetes.
"This approval is good news for patients with Type 2 diabetes who are on metformin therapy and prefer to take fewer tablets per day," stated Carl Pelzel, president and chief executive officer of Depomed. "The American Diabetes Association guidelines recommend that metformin therapy be titrated to its maximally effective dose, generally regarded as 2,000 mg/day as tolerated. We believe this 1,000 mg dosage form is a great addition to the Glumetza franchise, as we now have two ways for patients to achieve 24-hour glycemic control: the original Glumetza 500 mg tablets, which start out as small, easy-to-swallow tablets that expand once in the stomach, and the new 1,000 mg tablets, which require fewer tablets to hit the target dose. We are working very closely with our commercial supplier, Biovail, to make these tablets commercially available in the United States in the near future."
Depomed acquired exclusive U.S. rights to the 1,000 mg formulation of Glumetza in December 2005 from Biovail, and has a supply agreement with Biovail related to the formulation. Glumetza had sales of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2007.

Since we're on the subject of me being all lovey-dovey and best friends, these are my best friends :)
Nanci and I, as you can see, have been best friends since I was 2 years old and she was 1. She is the most kind and caring person I could ever, ever be lucky enough to know and I DON'T deserve to have her as MY best friend, but alas, the big man (or woman) upstairs loved me enough to give me her. It doesn't matter where we go to school, how long we go without talking, whatever, I know that no matter what, she will always be the best friend that I could ever ask for. She's the strongest person I know who is so completely selfless and still cares more for others than herself even after everything she's gone through and I can honestly say that she is my hero. <3 I love her to death and I remember telling her once that I honestly wouldn't be alive without her and I stand by that. My best friend. 18 years and counting. <3
Katelyn and I have been friends since August of 2009, shortly before we were freshmen at Fitchburg :) I was a creeper and added her because I saw something Jonas related and we ended up in the same Intro to Soc class that semester! We have the greatest times together and it's never a dull moment. We had our rough patch last summer because others interfered in our friendship and so we stopped talking. There was never really any bad blood between us, just no talking. And then we made plans to Daka creep. And we did that and it was like nothing had changed at all. And I love her and all the times we have together hating Tony and eating and just bumping beats in Sheila. She lets me be a Santana drunk on rooftops when everyone else is smoking and enjoying life and she's just seriously one of the greatest people I know and she is one of the best friends anyone could ever have :) <3
Alysha, as I have already explained to you really doesn't need anymore explanation. But I'm proud to say that all the distance between us couldn't change a thing. We can go two years without seeing each other and talking only a couple times a month in that time but when we're together, we pick up right where we left off. I couldn't enjoy time with anyone else just sitting there watching hours upon hours of The Big Bang Theory and taking photobooth pictures and listening to old CDs. I love her to death <3

Thomas More's Utopia has long been regarded as the great Northern European expression of Italian civic humanist ideals. This article argues, in contrast, that More's treatise constitutes an emphatic rejection of those values. In support of this claim, the article chronicles the reception of Utopia in Italy; it demonstrates that More's text was taken up, not by the civic humanists, but by their fiercest critics. These early Italian readers recognized in Utopia a repudiation of active citizenship, an assault on private property, a rejection of the Roman cult of glory, and a polemic against Ciceronian humanism. As a result, the reception of Utopia is shown to have opened up a fissure in the republican tradition which would have profound consequences for the subsequent development of European political discourse.
In a provocative essay published in Renaissance Quarterly in 1999, Ullrich Langer investigated the critical positions of novellieri such as Boccaccio regarding the legal system, courts, and lawyers. This essay builds on his work, both by broadening the range of critiques of law to include those of the humanists, and by giving the lawyers their day in court, as it were, in an investigation of two representative case-deciding opinions. Then as now, these legal experts did not have the luxury of considering law and justice in the abstract, apart from the need to resolve the particular case before them: they had to resolve a case and follow the law as they understood it.
In September 1641 Joannes Stephanus Rittangel sent a Hebrew letter to John Selden, the prominent English jurist and Christian Hebraist, soliciting Selden's assistance in publishing Karaite manuscripts. The letter's publication here contributes both to our knowledge of the activities of Rittangel — expert in Karaism and Professor Extraordinary of Semitic languages at the University of Koenigsberg — and to the picture we have of Christian Hebraism in England. From this letter and from references to Rittangel in contemporary literature, we can reconstruct some of his activities from the time he was recorded to have been in Lithuania at the end of 1640 to his appearance in Amsterdam in late 1641. We can also appreciate how knowledge of Karaism was spread among English Christians such as John Selden and Ralph Cudworth, and also how that information contributed to the millenarianism of Samuel Hartlib and John Dury.
Medici patronage of the arts in the fourteenth century has gone largely unstudied. Yet there is a notable paper trail, backed by a small number of sculptural remnants of funerary monuments, indicating that prominent members of the family understood the power of visual imagery for establishing their patrilines as leading families, both within the social hierarchy of Florence and within the Medici consorteria. These sculptural remains give clear precedent for the early activity of Giovanni di Bicci and Cosimo de' Medici as artistic patrons in the fifteenth century.

"I am ashamed that the first black president chose this road, a disgraceful road."
Washington (CNN) – A group of conservative black pastors are responding to President Barack Obama's support of same-sex marriage with what they say will be a national campaign aimed at rallying black Americans to rethink their overwhelming support of the President, though the group's leader is offering few specifics about the effort.
The Rev. Williams Owens, who is president and founder of the Coalition of African-Americans Pastors and the leader of the campaign, has highlighted opposition to same-sex marriage among African-Americans. He calls this campaign "an effort to save the family."
"The time has come for a broad-based assault against the powers that be that want to change our culture to one of men marrying men and women marrying women," said Owens, in an interview Tuesday after the launch event at the National Press Club. "I am ashamed that the first black president chose this road, a disgraceful road."
At the press conference, Owens was joined by five other black regional pastors and said there were 3,742 African-American pastors on board for the anti-Obama campaign.
When asked at the press conference for specifics about the campaign – funding, planned events and goals – Owens said only that the group's first fundraiser will be on August 16 in Memphis, Tennessee. But Owens insisted that "we are going to go nationwide with our agenda just like the president has gone to Hollywood."
In May, Obama announced on ABC News that he thought "same sex couples should be able to get married." The president had previously said that he opposed gay marriage, but said in May that his views were personal and did not represent a policy change.
In a fiery Tuesday press conference at the press club, Owens said Obama was taking the black vote for granted and decried the idea of similarities between the gay rights movement and the civil rights movement, an assertion made by the NAACPfollowing Obama's same-sex marriage support.
Owens has long been an opponent of gay marriage and consults with the National Organization for Marriage as a liaison to the black churches.
At the press conference, Owens said that Obama's support of same-sex marriage tantamount to supporting child molestation.
"If you watch the men who have been caught having sex with little boys, you will note that all of them will say that they were molested as a child…" Owens said. "For the president to condone this type of thing is irresponsible."
Owens later walked about those comments back, saying he didn't think the president was condoning molestation.
Earlier this year, memos obtained by The Human Rights Campaign in a Maine civil actions suit revealed that NOM aims at making gay marriage a wedge issued "between gays and blacks," according to the released confidential plans.
"The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks - two key Democratic constituencies," one NOM memo states. In light of the release, Brian Brown, president of NOM, said that he is proud of the group's "strong record" on minority partnerships.
A Pew Research Center poll conducted in April found that 49% of African-Americans oppose legalized same-sex marriage, compared with 39% who support it. But that shows a softening on the position in recent years; In 2008, only 26% of blacks were in favor of same sex marriage, according to the same Pew poll.
At the same time, black voters overwhelmingly supported Obama in 2008, while more recent polling shows a nearly equal level of support for the president's 2012 reelection.
In a Public Religion Research Institute poll released last week, 18% of black Americans surveyed said they see same-sex marriage a "critical issue," putting it behind the economy, education, deficit, a growing wealth gap and immigration.
According to Robert P. Jones, the CEO of the polling company, there is no evidence that same-sex marriage is something African-Americans will bring to the ballot box in November.
"Among African-Americans, I think same-sex marriage will be a nonissue in the election," Jones told CNN. "We just have no evidence what so ever in slippage of support for Obama, even after his announcement in support of same sex marriage."
The reaction of black pastors to the president's support for gay marriage has been as varied as their congregations, ranging from condemnation to congratulations.
"We may disagree with our president on this one issue," Rev. Wallace Charles Smith said from the pulpit of the Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington on the Sunday after Obama announced his support for legalized gay unions. "But we will keep him lifted up in prayer. ... pray for President Barack Obama."
At the Tuesday press conference, Owens questioned Obama's commitment to black Americans, stating that the president is just "half-black, half-white" and has long "ignored the black press."
He is "ignoring the people that put him in the White House," Owens said.

- His policies has definitely set America back. I can not think of one thing he has improved since he took office, except maybe his golf score. Up to 104 rounds of golf, that's an average of almost three rounds per month.
- American 2012/08/03 16:42:14I wonder how much the RNC or one of the other right wing hate Obama groups paid these sorry @$$ losers for this propaganda piece? Obama is not ignoring me. As part of the middle class, I am one of the people who helped to put him in the WHITE HOUSE. I intend to help keep him there until mid January 2017.
- American Always ... 2012/08/03 18:22:26 (edited)I know who I am talking about however you sure don't know what you're talking about.. I don't call them sorry @$$ losers because their view don't match mine. It is presumptuous of you to speak of what you do not know for a fact. Is that how you get your exercise, by jumping to conclusions?
Other than the fact that they are sorry @$$ losers, in my opinion, even if they are pastors of churches or False Prophets(The latter is my choice) they are no more than tools for the Republican Party's hateful agenda. President Obama has just as much right to his opinion as any other citizen. His statement about gay marriage is his personal opinion, it is not a policy change made by Executive Order.
Personally, I don't give a darn what their views are. They are just as entitled to their views as I am to mine. However, I hope whenever they go around trying to get Blacks to vote against their own best interest and trying to force their ideology off on them they receive boos louder than Mitt Romney did at the NAACP convention and are rode out on a rail. That's my view, so now you will know the next time instead of presuming what it is.
- American Always ... 2012/08/04 14:38:49However bad you might think it is for Blacks when they vote for Democrats, it would be a hell of lot worst if they voted for Republicans. In modern history, Blacks have have fared much better when Democrats are in charge than they have under Republican administration. I think they know that fact a hell of a lot better than you think you do.
Contrary to what RWNJS seem to think, just because you have a few ignorant token Blacks in the Republican party by no means are the majority of Black people as stupid as those Black right wing idiot, IE., Herman Cain, Adam West, etc.,. In fact Black people are a whole lot smarter than the average RWNJ. The majority know better than to vote against their own best interest by voting Republican..
- What do the TOP 10 cities with the HIGHEST POVERTY RATE have in common - DEMOCRAT leadership.
Detroit The Poorest City in America last Republican mayor 1961 (47 years)
Buffalo 2nd 1954 (54 yrs)
Cincinnati 3rd since 1984 (24 yrs)
Cleveland 4th since 1989 (19 yrs)
Miami 5th NEVER had Republican Mayor
St. Louis 6th since 1949 (59 yrs)

- I'm not ashamed either (in fact I am rather proud of it) and I voted for Obama. I will vote for him again in the upcoming presidential election. He is the best choice for this country and there ain't no doubt in my mind about it.
What would be a real shame is if Blacks (which I doubt) would listen to these Black tools for the Republican party who call themselves pastors and let them entice them to vote against their own best interest. In no way is Romney for minorities, the middle class, the working poor and the poor. He is only for the rich, the richer and the richest among us.
All of this from the "Pastors" just because President Obama has a personal opinion to which he's entitled just like any other American citizen..
As for "loser", that would be the flip flopping, duck walking pathological liar Romney and the groupie followers who are dumb and ignorant enough to believe a word he says
- Anyone ignorant and stupid enough to be a brainwashed, brain dead RWNJ is in no position to say anything of significance, relevance or merit. I will just ignore anything you have to say on the grounds you are obviously mentally incompetent.
- American Always ... 2012/08/04 18:08:28Why not? Because I am not a treasonous, traitorous anti-American RWNJ who sells out my country's well being for political gain it means that I am a much better American than any anti-American RWNJ will ever be. Shame on you! :-(
- Anyone backing 0bama is suspect! Either treason or living in the dark!
- I am more American than any anti-American Obama hating treasonous, traitorous RWNJ obstructionist who sells out their country for political gain. That would be those of your ilk. Need I say more. For shame and may God have mercy on their evil, unscrupulous souls. :-(

So, I'm making a cd burning app and I need to eject the drive to let the user put the disk in. It's a little more complicated, but simplest case I run into is this; I can use cdrecord via the command line to eject the cd tray using this command:
cdrecord --eject dev='/dev/sg1'
which should mean that I can do the same thing with
subprocess.call, like this:
subprocess.call(["cdrecord", "--eject", "dev='/dev/sg1'"])
however, when I do that, I get this error:
wodim: No such file or directory.
Cannot open SCSI driver!
For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
the wodim documentation.
and the tray doesn't open.
This is a very similar error to one I got before when trying to run it form the command line, but I fixed that error by loading the sg kernel module.
If I just run:
subprocess.call(["cdrecord", "--eject"])
it opens the tray just fine. However, this needs to work with possibly multiple cd trays, so that won't work.
How can I get this to eject the cd correctly?

Development of an In Vivo Androgen Receptor Activity System Using Transgenic Xenopus laevisEPA Grant Number: FP916443
Title: Development of an In Vivo Androgen Receptor Activity System Using Transgenic Xenopus laevis
Investigators: Roessig, Julie M.
Institution: University of California - Davis
EPA Project Officer: Manty, Dale
Project Period: January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2006

Over the last few decades, scientists have witnessed a significant decline in worldwide amphibian populations. Many factors have been suggested to contribute to this decline, including endocrine disruption (by endocrine disrupting compounds or EDCs). Many anthropogenic chemicals have the potential to interfere with an organism's endocrine system, acting either as receptor agonists or antagonists, or by altering hormone metabolism. To determine the effects of EDCs, we must know an organism's normal functioning state. Thyroid hormone (TH) is the inducer of amphibian metamorphosis, the process of converting a tadpole into a frog. Sex steroid hormones, such as androgens (testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone), drive the development of secondary sexual characteristics after metamorphosis is initiated. Important interactions between TH and androgens have been demonstrated in various vertebrates, although the precise mechanism is unknown. The objective of this research is to investigate the nature of the TH/androgen interaction.Approach:
An in vivo androgen-responsive reporter system will be created using Xenopus laevis that will allow the investigation of the nature of this interaction. I plan to create transgenic animal models to serve as an in vivo detection system for androgen receptor activity. Two parallel systems will be employed: one utilizing an androgen response element based reporter gene, and a second approach utilizing a Gal4 DNA binding domain substituted AR and upstream activation sequence containing reporter genes. The system also should be useful for screening xenobiotics that interfere with both TH and androgen-dependent developmental processes at the molecular level.Supplemental Keywords:
