Talk:Lipschitz continuity
|WikiProject Mathematics
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
The definition[edit]
The definition here seems to be restricted to R. Other definitions are in higher spaces than R? is this true? http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/LipschitzCondition.htmlUser A1 06:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- The definition is not restricted to R, Lipshitz functions are defineded on any metric space, in the section on metric spaces in this article. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Could it be useful to talk about the familiar metric space R^n as a special case?22.214.171.124 (talk) 11:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, it could. --A r m y 1 9 8 7 ! ! ! 12:02, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- Actually I see nothing in the "Real numbers" subsection which cannot apply to any other metric space (replacing |x − y| with d(x, y). I'm going to merge them, mentioning real numbers as an example. --A r m y 1 9 8 7 ! ! ! 12:13, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
The following sentence is not clear to me: "Any such K is referred to as a Lipschitz constant for the function ƒ. The smallest constant is sometimes called the (best) Lipschitz constant; however in most cases the latter notion is less relevant." I would remove the part from "; however..." as we are just giving the definition here. 22.214.171.124 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:31, 27 June 2010 (UTC).
Property of bilipschitz functions[edit]
The following text seems tautological:
- Every bilipschitz function is injective. A bilipschitz function is the same thing as a Lipschitz bijection whose inverse function is also Lipschitz.
In other words, if we define a bilipschitz function as a bijection that is Lipschitz and has a Lipschitz inverse, then it is trivially injective. Ideas? Haseldon 21:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- But this is not how bilipschits functions were defined in the article. The definition was:
If there exists a with
then f is called bilipschitz.
Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:08, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
A bilipschitz function need not be either surjective or injective. However, if a bilipschitz function is bijective, its inverse function is, in fact, bilipschitz. It's even satisfied by the same constant (just switch objects with their images and rearrange the inequalities.) Jwuthe2 (talk) 03:59, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- This is wrong. A bilipschitz function is always injective. I hope you agree also that a bilipschitz function is surjective onto its image (as the article currently implies). Furthermore, the characterization of bilipschitz function as a Lipschitz injection with Lipschitz inverse is the basic motivation for even being interested in bilipschitz mappings in the first place. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:01, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
uniform Lipschitz condition[edit]
The text currently states: --- A function f, defined on [a,b], is said to satisfy a uniform Lipschitz condition of order α > 0 on [a,b] if there exists a constant M > 0 such that
| f(x) − f(y) | < M | x − y | ^α
for all x and y in [a,b]. --- which appears to be the same as Hölder continuity. It also appears to be a misuse of the term `uniform', which should mean `independent of x and y', i.e. not locally Lipschitz. Agreed? Jorn74 (talk) 22:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that "uniform Lipschitz condition of order α " appears the same as Hölder continuity. I think the "uniform" part in the article is right, there is nothing local in that definition. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
I ran into this article looking for the more general "Lipschitz condition" which, unlike "Lipschitz uniform condition" or "Lipschitz continuity", does not even assume the function is differentiable everywhere. Robert Seeley's"An Introduction to Fourier Series and Integrals", for example, defines it for a continuous and piecewise-differentiable function g(x) as |g(x) - g(y)| <= M|x-y| for all x and y (in the domain of g).
This definition and its link with Lipschitz continuity should be mentioned in this article, this section seems to be a good place for it. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 17:59, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
Can K be less than 1 in short maps?[edit]
The article metric map says that a map is metric if This definition includes contractions, whereas the one in this article doesn't, if K needs to be "the smallest such constant". To make this definition be equivalent to the one in metric map, "K = 1" should be "K ≤ 1". (Also, depending on whether K must be "the smallest such constant" or not, the recent addition "0 < K" in the definition of contraction either has the effect of excluding constant functions from the definition, or is completely useless.) -- A r m y 1 9 8 7 ! ! ! 10:21, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
The first paragraph states Lipschitz continuity condition is "stronger than regular continuity". is this true? need an example in the example section. Jackzhp (talk) 22:03, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- It's definitely stronger. Consider where ; this function is continuous over its domain, but it is not Lipschitz continuous as the slope goes to infinity as . In fact, this case is already in the examples section. Further down in the page, it also says that "Every Lipschitz continuous map is uniformly continuous, and hence a fortiori continuous." This uniform continuity is the essence of the "magic" behind all of the nice features of Lipschitz continuous functions. —TedPavlic (talk) 12:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Lipschitz Constant and Examples[edit]
There should be more examples and in the definition it should state somewhere that in the R^2 case the inequality is simply |f(y)-f(x)| is equal to or less than K|x-y|. Also, the Lipschitz constant should be discussed more, explicitly stating how to find it and that it cannot be less than 0 or infinity.--Gustav Ulsh Iler (talk) 20:52, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
The definition Iler just gave is for the Lipschitz condition, not for Lipschitz continuity. The Lipschitz condition is defined for piecewise differentiable functions, so is more general than Lipschitz continuity.
Some people may have thought it too obvious to mention, but Iler is right that the article should point out explicitly that the Lipschitz constant must be in between 0 and infinity. Otherwise the definition is simply incorrect. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:04, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
should something about Norton's Dome be added to this page?[edit]
should something about Norton's Dome be added to this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:15, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
- Note: we now have a (very stubby) article on Norton's dome that needs to be filled out into a proper article. -- The Anome (talk) 17:51, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
One-sided Lipschitz[edit]
The example of an one-sided Lipschitz function does not make sense when using the definition in the section; F(x) is scalar, which makes the left-hand side of the definition vector times scalar, thus a vector, while the right-hand side is a norm of a vector. Also, the image of F(x) should be specified, for example to be from R^d to R^d as in "Uniqueness and weak stability for multi-dimensional transport equations with one-sided Lipschitz coefficient" by Bouchut et al. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bojeryd91 (talk • contribs) 16:46, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

For our story on the state of the state of dog parks
As many of you know, Bark was founded in 1997, as a newsletter to advocate for off-leash dog parks in Berkeley, Calif. Since then we've grown into a glossy magazine but we continue to follow the progress of off-leash areas across the country, from Provincetown to Seattle to Minneapolis and beyond. For our summer issue, we're looking at the state of dog parks—and we need your input. Where are...

What a great way to start the day!
On Monday morning, when Cameron and I were walking our dogs at local 30-acre dog park, we ran into our friend, Lauren, who told us about a Chihuahua who was lost there on Sunday.

We saw him there on Monday too, calling and...

Forget the dog fights, it's the people to watch out for
I love the idea of dog parks in theory. Who wouldn't want to see their dogs bounding across fields of grass with new canine buddies? Years ago, when we lived in New Orleans, we took our dogs to a model airplane field that was surrounded by woods and required something akin to a secret password to find. Consequently, very few people went there and we all became a tight-knit group. Everyone looked...

The only thing that comes to mind is the two finger tap to "smart zoom", which is enabled via System Preferences. Maybe?
MacSouthGlos Aug 26, 2011 5:00 AM
in response to CT
Thanks Charlie but I cannot deliberately replicate the phenomenon on demand and I cannot reverse it. Zoom is off in universal access and the double tap simple moves in and out of mission control. I am using a wireless mouse. Also it is a fixed magnification. I cannot increase or decrease it.
MacSouthGlos Aug 26, 2011 8:14 AM
in response to MacSouthGlos
Have worked out how to un zoom!!! How embarassing, but still do not know why it happens.
CT Aug 26, 2011 8:19 AM
in response to MacSouthGlos
Tell us how you fix it; it might give a clue on how to prevent it.
LexSchellings Aug 26, 2011 9:06 AM
in response to MacSouthGlos
Probably you have the extension HoverZoom. You might disable the HoverZoom extension in Safari (in preferences/extensions page), then Quit and Restart Safari.
Allan Eckert Aug 27, 2011 11:25 AM
in response to LexSchellings
No. I don't have HoverZoom.
In fact I never heard of that one but that is exactly what happens when it makes its mind up to do it.
MacSouthGlos Aug 27, 2011 11:29 AM
in response to CT
Hi Charlie,
I simply used the View menu and unzoomed so that does not really help you.
Allan Eckert Aug 27, 2011 11:35 AM
in response to MacSouthGlos
I agree that is not a good work around.
I have found that by going back a page and then coming back again will undo the zoom most of the time for me.
Of course that is a royal pain in the you know what. So it is NOT much better of a work around either.
MacSouthGlos Sep 5, 2011 3:15 PM
in response to Allan Eckert
I have now changed from bluetooth mouse to a trackpad and the problem has stopped!! Perhaps the problem was with hardware all along.
Scott Beach Sep 6, 2011 4:28 PM
in response to MacSouthGlos
I'm getting the same behaviour in Lion with a wireless mouse. I've not nailed it down yet but am pretty sure it's something gesture-like I'm doing. I just cmd+0 to fix every time. I'm fairly certain it's not a hardware bug.
Marie Avante Feb 17, 2013 9:06 AM
in response to MacSouthGlos
I realize this is an old thread, but I have exactly the same issue in Safari, and only in Safari. I just got a new iMac with Mountain Lion installed, and am using the wireless mouse that came with it (whatever they are calling the mouse these days). If I'm on a page and merely move the mouse over toward the side of the page, it suddenly will zoom up one or two magnifications.
I know how to "double tap," and I'm not double tapping when it happens. I'm not lifting my fingers on the mouse at all. When this happens, double tapping sometimes will take it down a notch in zoom, sometimes not. I just do Cmd-zero to return the view to normal, but it's extremely annoying, and apparently Apple is comatose to the problem.
I've searched everywhere trying to find out why this happens, to no avail.
Scott Beach Feb 17, 2013 10:57 AM
in response to Marie Avante
An old thread but not one that Apple has dealt with yet. I've upgraded from 10.7 to 10.8 since my last post and the same thing still happens.

Please create a semesterless course for me
Requesting semesterless or development D2L course requires the same dbase as regular request:
The process splits here:
Please create a semesterless course for me
Requesting semesterless or development D2L course requires the same dbase as regular request:
The process splits here:
When I try to view content (lecture slides from day 1 and 2), the viewer shows blank white pages with the text and no figures in it.
The new D2L content window has an option in the lower right corner of the screen: "View as Page." It needs to be switched from "View as Text."
How may I download the data collected by a survey done in D2L (I want to use the data on excel).
Go and open Surveys under Assessment in the D2L Nav Bar.
Open the Survey, which needs its data to be exported.
Create a new report
don't forget to check the box in front of "Teacher" after you scroll down
after creating a new report, go back to surveys, open your survey, scroll down and choose report
The CSV file will be the one, which can be opened in Excel
Q: The students had to write 3 learning goals in D2L self-assessment that they had for the semester, so they typed those in, and then clicked "send" or "complete" or whatever, and their response just went into the ether? There has to be a way to retrieve the information. Any ideas?
The info is gone. It doesn't get collected anywhere, that's not the nature of the tool. You wanted a survey.
Self-Assessment is used rather to temporarily collect information for the student her/him-self and review; if the instructor needs to get hold of that info, the instructor must consider survey
Example for a good use of self-assessment:
After you set up the following equation so that it could be solved by using the Quadratic Formula, in this case with polynomial terms on the left-hand side, what are the values of a, b, and c?
5x – 3x2 = 7
After you set up the following equation so that it could be solved by using the Quadratic Formula, in this case with polynomial terms on the left-hand side, what are the values of a, b, and c?
-4x + 2x2 + 11 = -5
Good morning!
I am a new faculty member, in the Department of !!!!!!!!!. I have been waiting my teaching courses to be listed on D2L, but still I cannot see them. It's maybe because I am still listed as "Staff" instead of "Professor." Could you please check this out for me?
Good morning !!!!!!
Please have directions from the IMS blog (keep in mind using it as FAQ regarding D2L) how to request D2L courses:
If you log into that dbase, you will see the following picture:
which means that you, your department [chair] and Records and Registration must enter you as the Instructor of Record (what you call "Professor")
Only after that you will see in the above-mentioned dbase your name and you will be able to request your D2L course.
We are not able to do more on our side.
THank you and let me know, if more questions.
Seeking outside advice about how to manage privacy settings is a big indicator of whether a teen is taking steps to protect his or her privacy; 70 percent of teens have sought privacy advice from an adult or outside source. Of those "advice-seekers" who have mobile devices, 50 percent turned off location tracking features, as compared to 37 percent of teens who did not seek advice on privacy.
I'm trying to log into D2L and am not able to. The user name and password that I'm using does work with my email. I had called yesterday and the individual I spoke with informed me that the professor needed to add me to a D2L list. I spoke with her (the professor) who told me she attempted to do this. Could you assist me with this issue?

We're at a curious point in the hype cycle of educational innovation, where the hottest concept of the past year–Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs–is simultaneously being discovered by the mainstream media, even as the education-focused press is declaring them dead. "More Proof MOOCs are Hot," and "MOOCs Embraced By Top Universities," said the Wall Street Journal and USA Today last week upon the announcement that Coursera had received a $43 million round of funding to expand its offerings;
"Beyond MOOC Hype" was the nearly simultaneous headline in Inside Higher Ed.
Can MOOCs really be growing and dying at the same time?
The best way to resolve these contradictory signals is probably to accept that the MOOC, itself still an evolving innovation, is little more than a rhetorical catchall for a set of anxieties around teaching, learning, funding and connecting higher education to the digital world. This is a moment of cultural transition. Access to higher education is strained. The prices just keep rising. Questions about relevance are growing. The idea of millions of students from around the world learning from the worlds' most famous professors at very small marginal cost, using the latest in artificial intelligence and high-bandwidth communications, is a captivating one that has drawn tens of millions in venture capital. Yet, partnerships between MOOC platforms and public institutions like SUNY and the University of California to create self-paced blended courses and multiple paths to degrees look like a sensible next step for the MOOC, but they are far from that revolutionary future. Separate ideas like blended learning and plain old online delivery seem to be blurring with and overtaking the MOOC–even Blackboard is using the term.
The time seems to be ripe for a reconsideration of the "Massive" impact of "Online" and "Open" learning. TheReclaim Open Learning initiative is a growing community of teachers, researchers and learners in higher education dedicated to this reconsideration. Supporters include the MIT Media Lab and the MacArthur Foundation-supported Digital Media and Learning Research Hub. I am honored to be associated with the project as a documentarian and beater of the drum.
Entries are currently open for our Innovation Contest, offering a $2000 incentive to either teachers or students who have projects to transform higher education in a direction that is connected and creative, is open as in open content and open as in open access, that is participatory, that takes advantage of some of the forms and practices that the MOOC also does but is not beholden to the narrow mainstream MOOC format (referring instead to some of the earlier iterations of student-created, distributed MOOCscreated by Dave Cormier, George Siemens, Stephen Downes and others.)
Current entries include a platform to facilitate peer to peer language learning, a Skype-based open-access seminar with guests from around the world, and a student-created course in educational technology. Go hereto add your entry! Deadline is August 2. Our judges include Cathy Davidson (HASTAC), Joi Ito (MIT), and Paul Kim (Stanford).
Reclaim Open Learning earlier sponsored a hackathon at the MIT Media Lab. This fall, September 27 and 28, our judges and contest winners will join us at a series of conversations and demo days to Reclaim Open Learning at the University of California, Irvine. If you're interested in continuing the conversation, join us there or check us out online.

Classified Staff Council announces aid program for displaced employees
In addition to awards and scholarships presented at its annual spring reception, Classified Staff Council (CSC) announced an initiative aimed at providing support to classified employees who have been affected by the recently announced layoffs.
In a list of things that "make our light shine brighter," CSC Chair Faith Olson said perhaps "the best thing we can do is take the opportunity to help those who have been displaced or laid off." The Helping Hands Program will feature collections of food and staple items for three and a half days each month, followed by distribution of the donations from 9 a.m. to noon on the Thursday of that week in the Paulsen Room in Conklin. Anything left over will go to a local food pantry.
Nearly 30 campus offices will serve as drop-off locations and will display the Helping Hands sign.
The first week of collections will be May 11-14. See the Classified Staff Council Web site (www.bgsu.edu/organizations/csc/) for the complete schedule.
Scholarships presented
Thanks to the success of the annual CSC fundraising golf outing, council was able to present eight scholarships this year, four to classified employees and four to children of employees.
Staff winners were Elizabeth Forester of the Math/Stats Tutoring Center, a senior majoring in education; Joetta Kynard of the Women's Center, a senior Advanced Technology Education major; Steven Rider of University Dining Services, a senior majoring in accounting, and Anita Serda of the Canadian Studies Center, a sophomore majoring in interpersonal communication.
Staff members' children receiving scholarships were Erica Bennett, daughter of Deborah Bennett, BGSU Firelands; Kylee Bostelman, daughter of Marsha Bostelman, biological sciences; Ryan Sanner, son of Carol Sanner, alumni and development, and Nicholas Simmons, son of Mary Hennings, Continuing and Extended Education. It was somewhat of a red-letter day for Simmons, who was also inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honorary that afternoon.
Look to the future
President Carol Cartwright also spoke at the reception, thanking classified staff "for another year of loyalty and dedication to BGSU."
While acknowledging the difficulties facing the University, Cartwright said she feels it is more important to "look ahead to the possibilities that keep revealing themselves and apply our collective wisdom to challenges we're presented with." She added "what's important is that we get busy to plan toward when things begin to improve and to better position ourselves for success."
Cartwright updated the staff on progress in the strategic planning process. Seven major goals have been identified and the draft plan composed. It will be presented to CSC May 20 for review and then to the board of trustees for approval at its June meeting.
She described two of the top priorities of the plan—"rethinking the undergraduate experience for every BGSU student" and "rethinking enrollment." Of the first, she said, the goal will be to "interweave curricular and co-curricular activities for a rich experience." She said it is estimated that about 65 percent of undergraduates already participate in the kinds of activities that create this kind of learning environment, but it is important to create a "road map" so it is not by chance that students participate but an intentional part of their education. "This will then become our identity and what we market about ourselves. It will be extremely attractive and may influence students to consider BGSU who might not have otherwise."
Of the second priority, she said that while the traditional high school-student base will continue to be important to BGSU's enrollment, "there's more for us to do in serving our public mission." The campus must expand its reach to adult, online and transfer students as well.

These gun dealers are not taking any stand against the police anywhere or they won't be in business very long.
Local police departments will find some reason, any reason to shut them down.

Monroe explores the conflict between the hero and heroine versus the duty to follow orders and trusting one's own judgment, in her mildly suspenseful story, which has a heartwarming secondary romance. Coverage of some of the grim realities faced by many in Africa is lightened by happy endings for two couples and two displaced children. However, the interesting plot idea doesn't live up to expectations in either the suspense or the chemistry between the two lead characters.
Tanya, a medical-aid worker in Zimbabwe, has been tied to a leak of sensitive military information. Wanting to act quickly and decisively to plug the leak, the government sends in a black ops team with a kill order. Team leader Roman Chernichenko isn't about to follow orders when he has doubts about the reliability of the information. Not to mention that he's been strongly attracted to Tanya ever since he met her at the wedding of her brother and his sister. Soon they are on the run from both sides — until Roman can get the kill order rescinded. (BRAVA, Sep., 288 pp., $14.00)

Bronze Tree Themed Ceramic Bowl by ~ashynekosan ( Featured by maytel )
Aesthetic and beautiful. Impressive craftsmanship!
Oh, that is fantastic. I used to do pottery in high school, and I loved it. I would have loved to have since more, but since graduating I haven't had access to a pottery studio. It makes me sad. But I still appreciate looking at five quality pieces such as this one you've made here. It's very nice. I love the glaze and carving in it. May I ask, what kind of clay did you use?
wow i love the color, it looks amazing I never get my pieces to fire the right way lol you have skills
Congratulations on your DD!! I'm so happy for you!! Your bowls and mugs are amazing and well deserved DD!!!
It'd make a good decoration!
i like your bowl!
what glazes did you use? it looks like hiacynth blue over temaku but i could be wrong...
They are both home brew glazes actually, but I didn't make them myself.
Congrats on the DD - love the colors
This is lovely!
I have always loved bronze and teal together and this is a perfect example of why. Gorgeous, and Congratulations on the DD!
... excellent!
Nice work!
Amazing work!
It's beautiful, I want to touch it *touches screen*
Nicely done!
Congrats on the well deserved DD!

John 12:48-50New International Version (NIV)
48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day. 49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."

We were really starting to like the Giants. We appreciate Eli Manning's cool restraint. Michael Strahan is amusingly jocular. And even Tom Coughlin's cartoonish intensity has begun to soften us up.

That is, until we saw this.

SAN DIEGO – The Milwaukee Brewers came to Petco Park last weekend, muscles swelling their sleeves, and played four games.
They left with two runs, both on solo homers.
They also did a lot of glaring at the right-center fence, the one in front of which many of their aspiring homers fell.
"This place can have an effect on teams like that," said David Eckstein, ex-Angel of 2002, now the San Diego Padres second baseman. "That's what we have going for us. Pitching and defense, especially in this ballpark."
That wasn't supposed to be enough. The Padres are 29th among baseball's 30 teams in payroll. Jake Peavy and Trevor Hoffman are just memories, Chris Young is hurt, and Adrian Gonzalez is widely expected to be lockering in Fenway Park later this year.
So, naturally, the Padres came into Monday with 16 victories in their first 25 games. They had the lead in the National League West. And, for the first time, they had a keen organizational sense of where they are and how to behave there.
"They finally did it," said Tony Gwynn, the Hall of Famer, San Diego State coach and Padres broadcaster — not to be confused with his son, Tony Gwynn, the center fielder who is a Petco Park ballplayer.
Gwynn does not get frustrated with the wide-open spaces because that's where he wants to hit. He has 11 singles, 11 walks and five steals and he runs down the dying drives of the frustrated opponents, and General Manager Kevin Towers, since deposed, got him from Milwaukee last year for 30-year-old Jody Gerut.
"This team is athletic now," Gwynn Sr. said. "They're running around making plays, going from first and third. And they can really pitch."
"It's only been a month," said Eckstein, 35, who has struck out twice in 85 at-bats. "I like the fact that our young guys aren't walking around like they've done something special. There's a long way to go but I think we can compete."
This started late last season. The Padres were 41-62 when they traded Peavy to the White Sox for four prospects on July 31. They were 34-25 thereafter, and five times they won series against the contending Dodgers, Giants and Rockies.
"I don't know if the Jake thing was hanging over our heads," closer Heath Bell said, "but the organization did a good job picking up young prospects. What happened was that we just went out there and started playing.
"The young guys weren't trying to make the squad. The older guys weren't trying to put up numbers. And this year we're not worried about beating everybody and making the playoffs. We're just playing ball."
Brian Giles, Tad Iguchi, Jim Edmonds, Khalil Greene, Tony Clark and other stationary members of the 63-99 Padres of 2008 have gone their way. Now there's shortstop Everth Cabrera and slugging left fielder Kyle Blanks, both 23, and third baseman Chase Headley and catcher Nick Hundley, both 26.
Gwynn, Will Venable and Jerry and Scott Hairston grew up as sons of big leaguers, which means they understand the fragility of a hot April.
But the Padres are really doing this because of a bullpen that has a league-low 2.70 ERA and has saved the franchise from the unsightly PR left by Hoffman's departure.
Bell led the league with 42 saves last season and is still throwing aggressive fastballs.
"Although he's mixing a changeup and his curve is better," Manager Bud Black said, with a subtle grin. "Sometimes now he'll throw a 3-and-2 curve with the bases loaded. And I'll be in here saying, 'Hey, nice pitch.'"
Black then cleared his throat, theatrically.
Towers got setup man Luke Gregerson from St. Louis for Greene, and Gregerson has a career 0.56 ERA at home. He also retired 26 consecutive hitters this season.
"And throws nothing but sliders," Bell said, exaggerating slightly.
"Normally I don't think it's a good idea to throw that many breaking balls," Black said, "but his is just so good. With Luke, anytime in a crisis, I'm going, 'Hey, Nick. Slider!'"
Hitters have a .174 average against Edward Mujica and .190 against Mike Adams, who is with his fourth organization, and Tim Stauffer hasn't given up a run in nine games.
That's the same Tim Stauffer who was picked fourth overall in the 2003 draft, tore his labrum, and now is trying to re-enter somebody's rotation.
"We felt the bullpen would be the backbone of this team," Bell said. "And it gets a little crazy down there. We've got the pranks, the sayings, some things we can't talk about.
"Our motto is 'Don't get caught.'"
Someone will catch the Padres and their cut-ups, as 136 games remain. But when you come here, sometimes it takes a while to play tag.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Very good
Posted by Reviewer2402496 on Jul 29, 2012
I Feeling that maskier is much better and firm,I guess you need to take this product for a while to notice a great difference
I think it works
Posted by 5696726129804133239 on Aug 07, 2012
I am in good weight condition, just can`t get rid of the little putch on my stomach. I take 1 Softgel a day and it makes me pee 100 times a day. So when extra water is out of your body you look leaner and less bloaded. I will continue to use and let you know about my results down to the road.
Posted by 5525895596456358644 on Aug 09, 2012
Together with exerise I can get a good result
Does what it says but...
Posted by everydayordinary on Aug 16, 2012
This product works well -- I've had stubborn belly fat around for the longest time and exercise doesn't seem to help. Tonalin CLA product together with exercise has decreased my belly fat visibly, and my body fat percentage has reduced. Helps me last longer during workouts too. However, my head throbs slightly and I get an increased heart rate about 20 minutes after taking the product, which is why I stopped taking it. Not everyone who left a review on iHerb seemed to have the same reaction as I did though, maybe it was just not for me.
Really huge!
Posted by Reviewer2827034 on Sep 04, 2012
I'm not sure if it's working well but it somehow curbs my hunger. I take breakfast at 745 and my next meal comes at 12 noon. I hope I'll see effects soon. A bad point abt it would be its size.

why is it called not safe for work? i dont get it
...It took me a second. Possibly two.
Now im gonna go watch office space
...or how 'bout: "Not So Fast, Woona!"
I like the "I <3 moon" poster.
NSFWW: Not safe for working woona
D'awwww from now on I will always think of this picture when seeing a NSFW tag :3
Not Safe For Woona .n.
Will we ever be linked to the NSFW content or is that something we should just forget about?
Oh my GOD! Could this be any more bucking adorable!? ^^
I'd this one a poster if I can
Hehe I love seeing girls with collars and tied up
oh so YOU'RE responsible for this piece eh Red? I thought I recognized something familiar here
I sure am! Why, have you seen it elsewhere? XD
me: luna, what are you doing don't peek over it's not safe
luna: but i-
me: IT'S NOT SAFE FOR YOU STOP TRYING TO LOOK OVER................ please
luna: but i-
me: IT'S NOT SAFE FOR YOU STOP TRYING TO LOOK OVER................ please
Not safe for work?..... More like No Slackin' For Wonderfullyinappropriatestuff! (all one word)
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH.....LOOK AT LITTLE LUNA HAHA SO CUTE >w <
Woona could pop up to distract from those situations. Like "Relax-O-Vision" from Freak-a-zoid.
Saw this before and thought "heh, clever" and moved on, but I suddenly wondered something. What is Woona actually doing at a workplace? Is there paperwork to be done in preparation for moving the moon or something?
Run, Woona! Save your innocence!
kinky pony bondafge? ....shrugs, alright. if anything being sexually attracted to animals with human personalities is Star Wars fault. like drugs, it starts with being attracted to a chikc with tentacles coming out of her noggin, and accelerates from there.
Haha I first thought it actually meant "Not Safe for Woona"
Man Luna is adorable
Can't wait to see what you have :3
Love the setting. Even in a cubicle office -- or a computer lab at the library -- it's not safe to view ANYTHING if there's stuff folks don't wanna see (can't even do my admin duties at the computer lab without feeling embarrassed about some of the crap I have to go through in my Group inboxes )
eeee Luna looks so cute <3
Well, if ya wanna do it, then do it.
But if you mention "50 Shades of Grey/Hay", I shall murder you to death.
I'll probably still laugh, though. XD
Alright !! XD The expression of Woona is adorable a to !!
BDSM? Wait, don't say it. I got this.
Brash Discourteous Soapy Mares.
I look forward to your pictures that will make your mother ashamed.
i'm alright with BDSM. just miner stuff. its when it starts with skin tearing whips that i nope out.
Oh hell no.
I like to keep it soft, cute, fun, but naughty. XD

great location, we went to the hockey game...couldn't have stayed closer!! it was perfect
pillows were awful, room near elevator very noisy all night long could hear elevators
Proximity to everything.
Very bad customer service. Reserved a room with king bed and got one with 2 full beds instead. I paid extra for the one king bed. Nothing they can do.
The Valet staff was professional and very good. The suite was a good size. There was a complimentary breakfast in the morning.
I was completely unimpressed with the hotel. The suite was clean but a hodgepodge of stuff. The furniture in the suite was to big, very hard and uncomfortable, it was like you where sitting on 2x4's. The layout of the furniture in the suite and the suite itself was not well thought out. It was like the pieces of furniture where left overs and just thrown in the suite. The work table was severely lopsided and wobbly, the internet wire was broken. The shower curtain was installed so poorly that it actually hung on you as you took a shower and kept sliding open as it was not level at all. I stayed in this hotel expecting a room with some kind of semi nice water view, which only existed via a not very practical side window in the bedroom. The suite was not comfortable in any way.
Excellent location and friendly staff. Well maintained facility and very nice rooms. Embassy Suites offers good value for our money and we recommend them highly. This hotel has great views of the channel and river. The river walk was super and lots of entertainment and good restaurants nearby.
Only issue was a peculiar rumbling noise when we showered. Seemed like the hot water heater/ plumbing was struggling although we had no problem.
Great service great location great hospitality clean
very spacious and comfortable suite
rug was a bit dirty
It was so great to be able to walk to the tcc, the Forum and even Channelside wasn't that far. The free happy hour is nice if you don't mind waiting in line.
The nightclub Jackson's Bistro played their music sooooo loud and it kept me up til past 2am! It sounded like a street parade with people banging on drums outside my windows. The bass drum was ridiculous. Not even pillows over my head helped. I was very mad because I had to wake up at 4:30am for my flight. I did not like that there was no option to self-park either and that it was $20 per night to park the car. Lame!

It's not the one-hitter followed by a no-hitter just put together by the Washington Nationals' Max Scherzer, but the Toronto Blue Jays' Marco Estrada has had himself quite the back-to-back starts.
In baseball, Memorial Day traditionally stands as a time when observers take stock of the standings and start to consider whether, about two months into the season, the way things look now is the
A knuckleball pitcher should discombobulate hitters, leaving them flailing as the ball flutters past them. For the Toronto Blue Jays' R.A. Dickey, this hasn't been happening nearly enough.
Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer, Drew Hutchison pitched eight strong innings and the Toronto Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep of Baltimore, beating the Orioles 7-6 on Thursday night.
It's probably a good thing that the Orioles' Adam Jones and the Blue Jays' Jose Bautista don't come in close proximity except when they're running off and on to the outfield between innings.

I HAD MY FIRST BICYCLE when I was eleven, and it was a disappointment. Schwinn seemed the only bike worth having in those days. My father, for some reason, surprised me by bringing home an off-brand bike called a SunRacer. Red and white, it had nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't a Schwinn. I soon removed its fenders, chainguard, and kickstand, and bent its handlebars downward. But there wasn't much else I could do to add to its glamour. Had I had a Schwinn, who can say, today I might be president of the World Bank, artistic director of the Orchestre de Paris, chairman of Disney.
I rode that bike everywhere. I don't remember having to lock it up, unlike nowadays when I lock up my current bike even when parking it in our garage. (I recently read somewhere that the use of the word "nowadays" suggests a reactionary, for nowadays are always understood to be much worse than thenadays. Something to it, I fear.) At fifteen, the age one could then get a driver's license in Chicago, my friends and I, putting away childish things, abandoned our bikes for cars and the wondrous freedom they gave to roam the city.
Bikes for adults didn't come into play until the exercise craze hit. I owned a green Raleigh racer in the late 1960s. In the early '80s at a police auction I acquired a three-speed Huffy. I used sometimes to ride it to the university where I taught; pipeless and suede-patchless, a bike was the only professorial accoutrement I had. Then, a decade or so later, I bought a standard, handlebars-straight-up, three-speed green Slipstream bike, which I used for a while, then forgot about. A young man in our building has recently gone into the bike-repair business, and so, summer coming on, feeling the need for a bit of exercise, and bored with longish walks, I had him clean up my long unused Slipstream, which I take now out for a spin four or five times a week.
By a spin I mean nothing marathon but four or five miles. I don't suit up for these little excursions but wear whatever I happen to have on. I'd as soon put on Spandex shorts for a bike ride as give the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures in a Speedo. I eschew a helmet because I look too goofy in one, and nowadays (there's that word again) have just enough vanity left to wish to look merely ungoofy. I do use a clip around my right ankle to prevent my trousers from getting caught in the chain.
I find myself looking forward to these rides, which I do not take at any set time of the day but when the mood strikes. I am a bit tentative on my bike; the thought of a serious fall never quite deserts me. I haven't yet worked up the courage to ride "no-hands," but then maybe one needs a living mother to do so ("Look, Ma, no hands!"). As kids we specialized in trick riding, including riding while seated backwards. The toughest trick of all--accomplished only by my friend Norm Brodsky--was to drive oneself on one's own handlebars, facing forward. I was with a boy named Ronny Harris who, attempting it, ended up with a concussion and several facial lacerations.
My current bike ride always follows the same route. At the beginning it goes slightly downhill, which provides a slight thrill. The return is of course slightly uphill, which leaves me having to work a bit, ending up breathing more heavily, which gives the impression of a workout. I ride through a nearby park, then alongside Lake Michigan. Joggers, young parents pushing their children in the new troika prams, Asians with pastel umbrellas out for walks, are on the same path. I go at a medium pace, every so often pumping hard to build up a bit of speed off which I let the bike glide.
My exercise does not include the element of progress. I do not anticipate going for longer and longer rides, getting in better and better shape. I am merely trying not to fall too quickly into even worse shape. I ride my bike less for reasons of health than for the delight in pedaling along, noting the lake in its many moods and differing colors, and taking in the views. One somehow sees more on a bicycle than in a car or even while walking.
For all the pleasures bike-riding gives, I do have a single regret. Many years ago, I met a man who, having read an essay of mine on juggling, asked if I would like to learn to ride a unicycle, which he would be pleased to teach me to do. I would love to ride a unicycle, I told him. He gave me his business card, but, for some reason, I never got around to calling him. I have long since lost his card, and now, alas, it is too late. If there is a heaven, and if I am permitted entry, you will not fail to notice me there: I shall be the fellow without the helmet tooling around on the unicycle, grinning.
-Joseph Epstein

SEOUL, March 12 (Yonhap) -- The nation's top men's professional basketball league on Tuesday apologized for a match-fixing scandal, a day after a head coach was arrested under rigging suspicions.
Han Sun-kyo, the commissioner of the Korean Basketball League (KBL), held a press conference to express his regrets for the controversy.
"We recognize this situation as the biggest crisis for professional basketball since the league was launched in 1997," Han said. "We're fully cooperating with prosecutors in their investigation and we will give our utmost best to transform ourselves."
Kang Dong-hee, head coach of the Dongbu Promy, was taken into custody on Monday after a district court in Euijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, granted prosecutors' request for an arrest warrant. Kang faces charges of violating laws governing national sports promotion. He became the first active coach of a South Korean professional sports team to be arrested for match-fixing allegations.
Hours after Han's public apology, Kang resigned as Dongbu's head coach. Team officials said Kang expressed his intention to step down and apologized for the trouble he's caused to the team and its fans. The officials promptly accepted his resignation.
Kang last coached the Promy on Wednesday, a day before facing prosecutors' questions. His assistant, Kim Young-man, will take over on the bench for the team's next game on Saturday. Dongbu has said Kim will coach the team for the remaining three games of the ongoing season.
Han said the KBL will adopt a "zero-tolerance" policy against match fixing in basketball, and added, "If Kang is found guilty, we're prepared to ban him for life."
Han explained that the league is carrying out its own internal investigation into match fixing, saying the KBL will fully cooperate with prosecutors if more suspects emerge.
Prosecutors have alleged that Kang took some 40 million won (US$36,560) from two gambling brokers on four occasions during the 2010-2011 season in the KBL. They believe Kang deliberately lost a game late in the season, with the Promy having already clinched one of six postseason spots, by resting his usual starting players, ostensibly to conserve them for the playoff run.
Kang has been the head coach of the Promy since the 2009-2010 season. He has denied all fixing allegations surrounding him.
On Feb. 28, prosecutors arrested a broker, surnamed Choi, for allegedly giving Kang cash to fix games. Then on Wednesday this week, they arrested a second broker, a former professional baseball player surnamed Cho, on the same charges.
Prosecutors said Friday that they will expand their investigation into a fourth person who allegedly supplied the two brokers with cash. The person, whose name was withheld, is currently serving a prison sentence for his role in a major match-fixing scandal in South Korean pro football in 2011. He had been convicted of starting an illegal sports betting site and paying six active pro football players cash in exchange for fixing games.
Before Kang's charges surfaced, some KBL teams came under suspicions of losing games on purpose in a bid to secure high draft picks later this year. Similar "tanking" practices aren't entirely uncommon in major U.S. sports, though the KBL has suffered a huge blow to its attendance and television ratings.
In the KBL, six out of 10 teams make the playoffs and the four non-playoff teams each have about a 24-percent chance of getting the No. 1 overall pick. The league recently lowered that percentage to 15 percent, effective starting in the 2014-2015 season, but Han said Tuesday he may further alter the rule so that the lowered percentage will take effect immediately with the upcoming draft in October.
Kang has said he had personal ties with Choi, one of the arrested brokers, but claimed he'd never taken any money from him.
Kang was Dongbu's assistant coach from 2005 to 2009, and became the team's head coach before the 2009-2010 season. The team has finished second in the league twice on Kang's watch. Last year, Dongbu established new KBL records for most wins in a season with 44 and most consecutive victories with 16.
Dubbed "Wizard on the Court," Kang is also regarded as one of South Korea's greatest point guards, dating back to the late 1980s and the early 1990s, before the launch of the professional league. He was the MVP in the inaugural KBL season in 1997 and led the league in assists four times.
The KBL is the latest pro sports league in South Korea to be hit with a match-fixing scandal, following the leagues for football, baseball and volleyball.
In earlier match-fixing cases in other sports, players, active or retired, were found to have taken cash from brokers making their bets on illegal sports gambling Web sites.
These sites offer proposition bets, or "prop bets." They place odds on seemingly inconsequential plays, such as the number of free throws made in the first quarter of a basketball game, often with no cap on the amount of wager. It's considered easier for gamblers to fix such minute plays.
The only legal form of sports betting in South Korea is through buying Sports Toto lottery tickets. Sports Toto offers odds on wins, ties, losses and the combined scores between teams. A bettor can only wager 100,000 won per ticket.
Han, the KBL commissioner, claimed match fixing could only take place through illegal betting Web sites.
"I don't think there have been fixing attempts involving Sports Toto," he said. "Those illegal sports gambling Web sites are the real problem. We need stronger penalties against these sites."

Umami Burger will open its third Orange County burger joint Sunday, July 1 in Anaheim.
The news comes nearly a year after Umami first announced it would open a unit in Anaheim. Many thought this location would be the first Umami in Orange County.
Since the announcement, two other Umami restaurants have opened -- one in Laguna Beach and one in Costa Mesa.
The 2,500-square-foot gourmet burger bar will be in the same building as the Anaheim Brewery, a tasting room that opened last year in downtown Anaheim.  Last year, Umami said it would have a beer garden and patio dining with a fire pit.
Address: 440Â S. Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim.

I like the idea of bamboo cartridge, but as to color, I'm hesitating between this one and "wild rose" one.
Wrong colour

I value it only in 2 stars because of the colour. I've made mistake to choose this colour because it's too gaudy for me, i awaited for quit and warm colour. As for quality it's good, soft, don't spread. The bamboo cartridge is otiginal.

The Ninjas do work hard! Their response and support are good and very professional for both WooCommerce general components and related WooCommerce extensions. On occasion, they even provided quick fix for third party extensions they advertise on their site and for which support is marginal or not present. They provide workarounds until the next release fixes some product issues.
Great work you Ninjas! Much appreciated!
