Ricci flow
In differential geometry, the Ricci flow (/ˈriːtʃi/) is an intrinsic geometric flow. It is a process that deforms the metric of a Riemannian manifold in a way formally analogous to the diffusion of heat, smoothing out irregularities in the metric.
The Ricci flow, named after Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro, was first introduced by Richard Hamilton in 1981 and is also referred to as the Ricci–Hamilton flow. It is the primary tool used in Grigori Perelman's solution of the Poincaré conjecture,[1] as well as in the proof of the differentiable sphere theorem by Simon Brendle and Richard Schoen.[2]
Mathematical definition[edit]
Given a Riemannian manifold with metric tensor , we can compute the Ricci tensor , which collects averages of sectional curvatures into a kind of "trace" of the Riemann curvature tensor. If we consider the metric tensor (and the associated Ricci tensor) to be functions of a variable which is usually called "time" (but which may have nothing to do with any physical time), then the Ricci flow may be defined by the geometric evolution equation[3]
The normalized Ricci flow makes sense for compact manifolds and is given by the equation
where is the average (mean) of the scalar curvature (which is obtained from the Ricci tensor by taking the trace) and is the dimension of the manifold. This normalized equation preserves the volume of the metric.
The factor of −2 is of little significance, since it can be changed to any nonzero real number by rescaling t. However, the minus sign ensures that the Ricci flow is well defined for sufficiently small positive times; if the sign is changed, then the Ricci flow would usually only be defined for small negative times. (This is similar to the way in which the heat equation can be run forwards in time, but not usually backwards in time.)
Informally, the Ricci flow tends to expand negatively curved regions of the manifold, and contract positively curved regions.
- If the manifold is Euclidean space, or more generally Ricci-flat, then Ricci flow leaves the metric unchanged. Conversely, any metric unchanged by Ricci flow is Ricci-flat.
- If the manifold is a sphere (with the usual metric) then Ricci flow collapses the manifold to a point in finite time. If the sphere has radius 1 in n dimensions, then after time the metric will be multiplied by , so the manifold will collapse after time . More generally, if the manifold is an Einstein manifold (where Ricci tensor = constant × metric tensor), then Ricci flow will collapse it to a point if it has positive curvature, leave it invariant if it has zero curvature, and expand it if it has negative curvature.
- For a compact Einstein manifold, the metric is unchanged under normalized Ricci flow. Conversely, any metric unchanged by normalized Ricci flow is Einstein.
In particular, this shows that in general the Ricci flow cannot be continued for all time, but will produce singularities. For 3-dimensional manifold, Perelman showed how to continue past the singularities using surgery on the manifold.
- A significant 2-dimensional example is the cigar soliton solution, which is given by the metric (dx2 + dy2)/(e4t + x2 + y2) on the Euclidean plane. Although this metric shrinks under the Ricci flow, its geometry remains the same. Such solutions are called steady Ricci solutions. An example of a 3-dimensional steady Ricci solution is the "Bryant solution", which is rotationally symmetric, has positive curvature, and is obtained by solving a system of ordinary differential equations.
Relationship to uniformization and geometrization[edit]
The Ricci flow was utilized by Richard Hamilton (1981) to gain insight into the geometrization conjecture of William Thurston, which concerns the topological classification of three-dimensional smooth manifolds.[4] Hamilton's idea was to define a kind of nonlinear diffusion equation which would tend to smooth out irregularities in the metric. Then, by placing an arbitrary metric g on a given smooth manifold M and evolving the metric by the Ricci flow, the metric should approach a particularly nice metric, which might constitute a canonical form for M. Suitable canonical forms had already been identified by Thurston; the possibilities, called Thurston model geometries, include the three-sphere S3, three-dimensional Euclidean space E3, three-dimensional hyperbolic space H3, which are homogeneous and isotropic, and five slightly more exotic Riemannian manifolds, which are homogeneous but not isotropic. (This list is closely related to, but not identical with, the Bianchi classification of the three-dimensional real Lie algebras into nine classes.) Hamilton's idea was that these special metrics should behave like fixed points of the Ricci flow, and that if, for a given manifold, globally only one Thurston geometry was admissible, this might even act like an attractor under the flow.
Hamilton succeeded in proving that any smooth closed three-manifold which admits a metric of positive Ricci curvature also admits a unique Thurston geometry, namely a spherical metric, which does indeed act like an attracting fixed point under the Ricci flow, renormalized to preserve volume. (Under the unrenormalized Ricci flow, the manifold collapses to a point in finite time.) This doesn't prove the full geometrization conjecture, because the most difficult case turns out to concern manifolds with negative Ricci curvature and more specifically those with negative sectional curvature. (A strange and interesting fact is that all closed three-manifolds admit metrics with negative Ricci curvatures! This was proved by L. Zhiyong Gao and Shing-Tung Yau in 1986.)
Indeed, a triumph of nineteenth century geometry was the proof of the uniformization theorem, the analogous topological classification of smooth two-manifolds, where Hamilton showed that the Ricci flow does indeed evolve a negatively curved two-manifold into a two-dimensional multi-holed torus which is locally isometric to the hyperbolic plane. This topic is closely related to important topics in analysis, number theory, dynamical systems, mathematical physics, and even cosmology.
Note that the term "uniformization" suggests a kind of smoothing away of irregularities in the geometry, while the term "geometrization" suggests placing a geometry on a smooth manifold. Geometry is being used here in a precise manner akin to Klein's notion of geometry (see Geometrization conjecture for further details). In particular, the result of geometrization may be a geometry that is not isotropic. In most cases including the cases of constant curvature, the geometry is unique. An important theme in this area is the interplay between real and complex formulations. In particular, many discussions of uniformization speak of complex curves rather than real two-manifolds.
The Ricci flow does not preserve volume, so to be more careful, in applying the Ricci flow to uniformization and geometrization one needs to normalize the Ricci flow to obtain a flow which preserves volume. If one fail to do this, the problem is that (for example) instead of evolving a given three-dimensional manifold into one of Thurston's canonical forms, we might just shrink its size.
It is possible to construct a kind of moduli space of n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, and then the Ricci flow really does give a geometric flow (in the intuitive sense of particles flowing along flowlines) in this moduli space.
Relation to diffusion[edit]
To see why the evolution equation defining the Ricci flow is indeed a kind of nonlinear diffusion equation, we can consider the special case of (real) two-manifolds in more detail. Any metric tensor on a two-manifold can be written with respect to an exponential isothermal coordinate chart in the form
(These coordinates provide an example of a conformal coordinate chart, because angles, but not distances, are correctly represented.)
The easiest way to compute the Ricci tensor and Laplace-Beltrami operator for our Riemannian two-manifold is to use the differential forms method of Élie Cartan. Take the coframe field
so that metric tensor becomes
Next, given an arbitrary smooth function , compute the exterior derivative
Take the Hodge dual
Take another exterior derivative
(where we used the anti-commutative property of the exterior product). That is,
Taking another Hodge dual gives
which gives the desired expression for the Laplace/Beltrami operator
To compute the curvature tensor, we take the exterior derivative of the covector fields making up our coframe:
From these expressions, we can read off the only independent connection one-form
Take another exterior derivative
This gives the curvature two-form
from which we can read off the only linearly independent component of the Riemann tensor using
from which the only nonzero components of the Ricci tensor are
From this, we find components with respect to the coordinate cobasis, namely
But the metric tensor is also diagonal, with
and after some elementary manipulation, we obtain an elegant expression for the Ricci flow:
This is manifestly analogous to the best known of all diffusion equations, the heat equation
where now is the usual Laplacian on the Euclidean plane. The reader may object that the heat equation is of course a linear partial differential equation—where is the promised nonlinearity in the p.d.e. defining the Ricci flow?
The answer is that nonlinearity enters because the Laplace-Beltrami operator depends upon the same function p which we used to define the metric. But notice that the flat Euclidean plane is given by taking . So if is small in magnitude, we can consider it to define small deviations from the geometry of a flat plane, and if we retain only first order terms in computing the exponential, the Ricci flow on our two-dimensional almost flat Riemannian manifold becomes the usual two dimensional heat equation. This computation suggests that, just as (according to the heat equation) an irregular temperature distribution in a hot plate tends to become more homogeneous over time, so too (according to the Ricci flow) an almost flat Riemannian manifold will tend to flatten out the same way that heat can be carried off "to infinity" in an infinite flat plate. But if our hot plate is finite in size, and has no boundary where heat can be carried off, we can expect to homogenize the temperature, but clearly we cannot expect to reduce it to zero. In the same way, we expect that the Ricci flow, applied to a distorted round sphere, will tend to round out the geometry over time, but not to turn it into a flat Euclidean geometry.
Recent developments[edit]
The Ricci flow has been intensively studied since 1981. Some recent work has focused on the question of precisely how higher-dimensional Riemannian manifolds evolve under the Ricci flow, and in particular, what types of parametric singularities may form. For instance, a certain class of solutions to the Ricci flow demonstrates that neckpinch singularities will form on an evolving n-dimensional metric Riemannian manifold having a certain topological property (positive Euler characteristic), as the flow approaches some characteristic time . In certain cases, such neckpinches will produce manifolds called Ricci solitons.
The Ricci flow is applied to Kähler–Einstein metric. [5]

I ditched my iPoo a long time ago because I got fed up with using the crummy iTunes software that crashed my system 60% of the time I plugged the dang thing in, and bought a 30 GB Zune (this was way before I joined Microsoft). I was instantly taken in at how easy and intuitive it was to use the Zune software, how well the ID3 support worked for the way I use WMAs and MP3s (yes, I prefer WMA because of the better quality and smaller file sizes overall compared to MP3s) and how much more stable my system was.
A few months ago, the Zune folks released a fleet of new Zunes that looked really slick, and included updated version of the Zune software. I was initially concerned that I, with my old-school Zune, would have to upgrade to the new Zunes to use the new firmware and new software. But, as usual, Microsoft was looking out for me and made it super-easy to upgrade my Zune as well as my Zune Software. Today, they've done it again…
Today, Microsoft announced another update to the Zune software that includes a number of really excellent new features including (from http://www.zune.net – the Zune Social):
This is a GREAT set of additions to an already excellent product. I know that Zune, as part of the overall Windows Experience, is not through evolving – I can't wait to see what happens next. Now I need to go download the latest updates to the XNA Game Developer Studio and create some games for my newly updated Zune!

Anasol Escobar (born November 5, 1976) known professionally as Anasol is a Colombian pop singer. Anasol's father was a student of astrology, and before she was born, he declared his daughter would be an artist and must be born closer to the sun. That's why the Colombian family traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for her birth and why she is named Anasol or "Daughter of the Sun." Born Anasol Escobar, the future pop singer grew up primarily in Colombia but often traveled, soaking in the cultures of Italy, Portugal, Brazil, and Spain. College life was filled with music studies and working on writing her own music. Homemade demos brought her to the attention of Luis Fernando Ochoa, the Grammy-winning producer who had worked with Ricky Martin and Shakira. Blending pop and dance sounds, Ochoa and Anasol created her self-titled debut, which was released by the Univision Records label in 2005.

|spark plug
A device in the cylinder head of an internal-combustion engine that ignites the fuel mixture by means of an electric spark. Spark plugs consist of two electrodes that are separated by an insulator except at their tips. When high voltage electricity is fed to one electrode, it jumps across the gap from one tip to the other as a spark. The voltage required to generate a spark is directly proportional to the size of the gap; in a car engine it is about 18,000 volts.

Lovely composition and texture. Do I overstep boundaries by suggesting a tad more local contrast to enhance the already good texture and to separate the different elements; stone, water and air (sky)?
If you have acces to something like Photoshop or Elements try for an "unsharp mask" adjustment with a very large radius (50 px) and low strength (10~15%) and experiment a little.
I'm sure you can get a huge increase in drama to one already successful image.

Jinx the smartest robot gets max into space then after realizing thru computer that they have no oxygen & time for re-entry with Edwards Air Force base --he decides he must help get Max back safely --so he heads towards NASA control center--but once he arrives he never mentions Dadalous--or says White Sands alternate landing site --they figure it out after the morse code scene... You would think Jinx knew the alternate landing coordinates + Dadolous oxygen center..
Contributed by: Michael Ray Bower
When Andy & Max are trying to retrieve air from Dadolus, she is too big to reach canisters so Max does it --but space suits are all the same size?? So they couldn't get past bars for canister regardless of who is out there.
Contributed by: Michael Ray Bower
After installing the first oxygen tank in cargo bay, the accident happens with Anni & now they retrieve her, but the first oxygen tank is not secure -just sitting in the middle of the cargo bay with one blue cable attached...
So when they spin outta control and try to land back home thru re-entry, wouldnt the oxygen can flay around and maybe spark and explode?
Contributed by: paul
When Max was trying to pull the oxygen tank free, it kept getting stuck and err, dropping back! Where was the gravity that enabled that to happen?

Sangye Gyatso and China's Long MemoryA week ago, Professor Robert Barnett wrote for the New York Review of Books, explaining some history to those curious why China is so sensitive to news of the 14th Dalai Lama's planned retirement—news that recently upset many Tibetans. He traces the cause back to the Fifth Dalai Lama, the first to hold temporal power, bestowed, as is well known, by the Mongol Khan (who, I think, was a follower of the Sakya school, not the Gelugs.) In the Fifth Dalai Lama's declining years, the new and ambitious Qing Dynasty claimed sovereignty over Tibet (and many other areas thousands of miles from their capital of Shenyang and later Beijing.)

Tibetan Monk burns himself to death protesting Chinese crackdownA 21-year old Tibetan Buddhist monk named Phunstog set himself on fire today in western China, apparently in protest of China's policy toward Tibetans . Via Reuters: The self-immolation appeared to be a small repeat of protests that gripped Tibetan areas of China in March 2008, when Buddhist monks and other Tibetan people loyal to the exiled Dalai Lama, their traditional religious leader, confronted police and troops. The 21-year-old, named Phuntsog, was a monk in Aba, a mainly ethnic Tibetan part of Sichuan province that erupted in defiance against Chinese control three years ago. The monk "immolated himself today in protest against the crackdown," said Kate Saunders of the International Campaign for Tibet, a London-based organization. More »

Indian government softens hardline position on 17th KarmapaThe Indian government in New Delhi has softened its hardline position on the status of Ogyen Trinley Dorje, one of two claimants to the title of 17th Karmapa.

No more industry in the Buddha's birthplaceThe road to Lumbini, Nepal—the birthplace of the Buddha—is littered with industry. Cement companies, brick kilns, steel mills, and a paper mill all manufacture goods alongside the Bhairahawa-Lumbini highway, a stretch of land that falls within the Lumbini Protected Zone—an area of a 15km radius around the UNESCO World Heritage Site, meant to be industry-free. Though rules barring industry in the LPZ have not been enforced before now, Nepal's Prime Minister, Madhav Kumar Nepal, said Sunday that the government will not license new industries and will begin to crackdown on existing ones.

Aung San Suu Kyi gives alms and robes to monksAung San Suu Kyi, freed after being detained for 15 of the last 21 years, greeted monks outside the headquarters of her National League for Democracy. Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi offered alms to hundreds of Buddhist monks and nuns on Wednesday—the first major meeting between her and the Buddhist Order since her release last month. About 780 Buddhist monks and 119 nuns showed up to receive cash and material donations at Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party office in Rangoon. An NLD party member said that although Suu Kyi planned to donate to as many as 150 monks, other monks and nuns from across the former capital also joined the occasion. "We could not offer robes to all the monks. So, we had to donate slippers and cash to them instead," he said. More »

An Update From Jacksonville's Chinese Quarter
Monday, October 21, 2013
JACKSONVILLE, OREGON—A continuing excavation in the nineteenth-century Chinese Quarter of Jacksonville, Oregon, has uncovered preserved pieces of a wooden structure that had been destroyed by fire. "We are literally looking inside the house of a Chinese individual or individuals from 1888….It is a poorly understood population in history, not only in Jacksonville but in the West," said Chelsea Rose of Southern Oregon University. The house is thought to have been situated behind a laundry. Artifacts from the house include an opium can, a drug used socially and as a pain reliever; a porcelain rice bowl; a cow's jawbone; a button; Chinese coins; a mini-musket ball; a necklace chain; two bone dice; and the bottom of what may have been a liquor bottle. "There is so much opium paraphernalia coming out of here. But this was not an opium den. This was a house," she added.

As cable and satellite providers test systems to target ads to specific households, The Wall Street Journal reports that data gatherers are compiling information on what viewers are watching with such personal data as prescription records to "emulate the sophisticated tracking widely used on people's personal computers with new technology that reaches the living room." However, some industry executives are raising privacy concerns, pointing to the push to regulate online tracking. Others say TV targeting is less intrusive, as it involves outside companies providing aggregated data without PII. The founder of one such company says they do not know who is sitting in front of any given TV, noting, "We don't want to look in the window. It is a little spooky."

Gettysburg: A Testing of Courage (Paperback)
America's Civil War raged for more than four years, but it is the three days of fighting in the Pennsylvania countryside in July 1863 that continues to fascinate, appall, and inspire new generations with its unparalleled saga of sacrifice and courage. From Chancellorsville, where General Robert E. Lee launched his high-risk campaign into the North, to the Confederates' last daring and ultimately-doomed act, forever known as Pickett's Charge, the battle of Gettysburg gave the Union army a victory that turned back the boldest and perhaps greatest chance for a Southern nation.
Now acclaimed historian Noah Andre Trudeau brings the most up-to-date research available to a brilliant, sweeping, and comprehensive history of the battle of Gettysburg that sheds fresh light on virtually every aspect of it. Deftly balancing his own narrative style with revealing firsthand accounts, Trudeau brings this engrossing human tale to life as never before.
About the Author
Noah Andre Trudeau is the author of Gettysburg. He has won the Civil War Round Table of New York's Fletcher Pratt Award and the Jerry Coffey Memorial Prize. A former executive producer at National Public Radio, he lives in Washington, D.C.

I currently have the following setup:
- nginx: port 80, act as a webserver and a proxy
- nodejs: port 8888, running socket.io (which utilizes websockets)
So I tried using the newest development branch for nginx but it doesn't support websocket.
I gave tcp_proxy a try and it works great. (Although I tried it with another port for the connection and it didn't involve this reverse proxying based on urls)
My problem right now is that I am unable to route http requests that starts with /socket.io to the tcp_proxy.
tcp {

Internal Clock Leads Monarch Butterflies to Mexico
By John Roach
for National Geographic News
|June 10, 2003
For every fourth or fifth generation of monarch butterflies that summer in the U.S. east of the Continental Divide, the pull of high-altitude Oyamel fir forests in central Mexico is irresistible.
By the millions each fall they point south and flutter up to 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) to reach the forests on a few small mountain peaks in an approximately 60-square-mile (155-square-kilometer) area in the volcanic highlands that serve as the butterflies' winter retreat.
For scientists, this annual migration is one of nature's greatest mysteries. Four to five generations separate the monarch populations that make the migration, so the butterflies that make the trek to Mexico are the great, great grandchildren of the previous generation to have made it.
"The ones that fly south have never been to Mexico before, they get there by pure instinct and then by pure instinct they come back, lay their eggs on milkweed and then die," said Lincoln Brower, a research professor of biology at Sweet Briar College in Virginia.
Brower and several other scientists have spent years trying to unravel this mystery. Now, a team of researchers with the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worchester has added another piece to this puzzle by demonstrating that monarch butterflies depend on an internal clock to find their way.
Researchers have believed for a long time that the butterflies use the sun to navigate, but they were not certain as to how the butterflies adjust their direction throughout the course of the day as the sun moves across the sky.
"If you wanted to go southwest toward Mexico, you would set that angle with respect to the sun at sunrise," said Brower. "The trouble with that is the angular difference between the southward direction and the sun keeps changing as the sun goes across the sky."
The researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School had a theory that an internal clock serves to adjust the sun-compass heading that keeps the butterflies on their southerly course, as it does with long-distance migratory birds. Such internal clocks are known as circadian clocks, which are tuned to biological rhythms that recur on a daily basis.
"The circadian clock was felt to be important," said Steven Reppert, a neurobiologist at the University of Massachusetts Medical School who led the team that performed a series of genetic and behavioral experiments to prove the internal-clock hunch correct.
The results of their study were reported last month in the journal Science.
Orley Taylor, an entomologist at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, said he is not surprised that monarch butterflies have a circadian rhythm that plays a role in sun-compass orientation, but that more work is needed to show how the clock guides navigation.
"This is one step, among many, required to understand the monarch migration," he said.
Setting the Clock
To demonstrate that monarchs have an internal clock and that the clock is set by daylight, the researchers examined the time of day when adult monarchs emerge from their hard-shelled pupa, called the chrysalis.
The time of emergence from the chrysalis is a reliable marker of circadian function in other insects, according to the researchers. Monarch butterflies normally emerge in the morning hours.
To test if this timing is controlled by an internal clock, the researchers exposed the chrysalids to total darkness.
"If you put an animal in an environment where there are no time cues, which is a default for circadian clocks, circadian rhythms continue to tick and keep time," said Reppert.
When the butterflies were placed in total darkness, they maintained their emergence cycle. But when exposed to constant light the butterflies emerged throughout the day, an indication that the circadian cycle was disrupted. "It gummed up the circadian clock so it did not work properly," said Reppert.
To measure the circadian clock after the butterflies had emerged from the chrysalis, the researchers cloned the monarch's so-called period gene, known as per, which is known to set the internal clock in fruit flies.
They found that the gene's activity was high during dark hours and low during light hours, but when exposed to constant daylight for several days the rhythm was blunted.
"Constant light thus disrupts the underlying clockwork mechanism, leading to the disruption of output rhythms," Reppert and colleagues wrote in Science.
Flight Simulation
Next, the researchers studied how the manipulation of the daily light and dark cycles affects the orientation and navigation ability of the butterflies.
After being exposed to a light-dark cycle in the lab that resembled the outdoor lighting of the northeastern United States during autumn, the researchers placed the butterflies outdoors in a 40-gallon (176-liter) flight simulator with a directional recording device.
The simulator was developed in 2001 by biologists Henrik Mouritsen at the University of Oldenburg in Germany and Barrie Frost at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada and is considered the breakthrough that allowed this monarch migration research.
"I predicted that the machine would open a floodgate of research questions that could potentially be answered," said Brower. "This study is an example of that."
The butterflies are tethered to the recording device with a metal wire. They have complete freedom of movement on the horizontal axis, but cannot move up and down, explained Reppert. Air blown up from the floor simulates a lofting breeze.
When placed in the flight simulator after being housed in the autumn-like, light-dark cycle, the butterflies oriented themselves to the southwest, as if they were flying towards their Mexican wintering grounds.
Butterflies housed in a 1 a.m.-to-1 p.m., light-dark cycle flew towards the southeast, as expected. "By shifting the clock, you get a predicted shift in direction in where the animals orient," said Reppert.
However, when exposed to constant light before being placed in the flight simulator, the butterflies flew directly towards the sun, an indication that the direct light had disrupted the circadian rhythm, thus making it impossible for them get a sense of direction.
The team also found that while ultraviolet light is required for sun-compass navigation, some other wavelength of light was required for setting the butterflies' internal clocks. The difference may provide a means for untangling the two biological processes, they report.
"What the research is doing is allowing us to get into how navigation occurs from the circadian clock vantage point," said Reppert.

3 and out: Redskins face a more familiar foe
3 and out with Tarik El-Bashir: Keys to beating Philly
A year ago, the Redskins beat the Eagles in Week 11 to kick-start an improbable charge to the playoffs. On Sunday, they'll head to Philly hoping to forge another season-turning win. Will they get it? That's unclear. But this much we know: They're all out of mulligans.
Here are our three keys to the game:
1st down—When the Redskins hosted Philadelphia in September, they didn't know what to expect. There was no regular season film on Chip Kelly's up-tempo offense. And, as a result, the Eagles benefitted from the element of surprise, racking up 443 yards in a 33-27 win. But when the teams meet Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, Jim Haslett and Co. will have 10 games of film to study and, according a number of veterans, that should make a world of difference. "There's a lot more film on what they've done …so it's nice to see on film because you're not surprised like you are in the first game. Once you get to this game, during the season, they've shown most of their wrinkles and you get to see it on film, what adjustments they've made and what defenses have done to try and keep them off balance."
2nd down—The Redskins have struggled all season on punt returns, averaging only 6.1 yards per attempt. That's 30th in the NFL. On Sunday, it's possible they'll have a new returner fielding punts after Nick Williams was promoted from the practice squad. It's unclear how much of an impact the speedy Williams will have, but it's possible it will be significant. In Week 4 of the 2010 season, Brandon Banks was signed from the practice squad and provided a huge spark, averaging 25 yards on three returns, including a 53-yarder, to help the Redskins to a 17-12 victory ... over the Eagles. "We'll see how [Williams] catches punts and kickoffs this week [in practice] when he knows he's going to be playing on Sunday afternoon," Shanahan said.
3rd down—In each of the past three games, the Redskins' defense has struggled down the stretch. Against the Broncos, the unit blew a 21-7 lead. Against the Chargers, they coughed up a 24-14 edge. Last Thursday in Minneapolis, they gave back a 27-14 lead en route to a devastating defeat. While there's no single reason for the late collapses, this much is obvious: it can't keep happening if they hope to make a second straight, second half run to the postseason.
Extra point: If the Redskins record 400 yards of offense for a third straight game, that will mark the longest such streak since 1983.

Rumbo News
LAWRENCE, MA -- Jesus Mane started painting at age 12 but never received formal painting lessons. The closest he has been is when he studied at Greater Lawrence Technical School and graduated in 1997 as a Graphic Designer.
"Last year I presented some of my paintings during a Bread and Roses Festival, in Lawrence," he said.
Now, Jesus has added some new pieces to his collection and with the support of his half brother, Eric Mane, opened Imagine Gallery, at the former Donovan's Trophy building located at 165 Essex Street.
Starting with 'Evolution of Ken': "It's not only a name of a person but what happens every time you look at it; it evolves into something else."
'Deep Blue' depicts an effigy of a woman drowning in her own sorrow, in the blue depth of the ocean.
'Soul Fire' represents the burning passion emerging from within.
Mane doesn't use models or copy from prints, neither does he do portraits. "What you see in my paintings, comes from within me, just like Soul Fire, my passion emerges from within."
Mane is also experimenting with wire. His favorite sculpture is 'Perception in Reality.' "My intention was to reproduce a profile of a woman's face, but a friend told me that what she sees in it is a dove taking flight," he said. "Perception in Reality is what I see, but some other person's perception might be different," concluded the artist.
Jesus was born in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, on December 25th, 1975. He was born premature, with a lot of health issues, one of them, his sight. "I don't remember my weight at birth, but they tell me that I was very tiny," said Jesus and added, "At 8 years of age my weight was 30Lbs., now at 35, I'm pushing 100," he says convinced of his accomplishment.
To get in touch with Jesus Mane, call 978-764-6251 or by e-mail jesus.mane@ gmail.com

ABSTRACT: Free propeptides are known to function as inhibitors of the parental mature cysteine cathepsins. This general rule, however, does not apply to the aminopeptidase cathepsin H. Screening of propeptide fragments for their inhibitory potency revealed no significant effect on the native mature cathepsin H. On the other hand, inhibitory interaction was established with recombinant cathepsin H that displays endopeptidase activity due to a lack of the mini-chain. This finding suggests that the propeptide-binding region is structurally rearranged during maturation processing and mini-chain formation, which impairs the effective recognition of mature cathepsin H by its own propeptide.

Do we think there is any way this thread can get back on topic.
I just wanted to know if anyone knows who or if one of the UK's prominent Jet flyers is relocating to the US. After all that was the original question
Look on facebook for Ali

I thought you were doing a poll
If it is Ali then it will be a great loss to the UK Jet scene, especially our various shows throughout the year (Unless of course he comes back for them).
If it is Ali (perhaps someone who can see his full facebook can confirm or not) then the UK's loss is the US's gain
Oh for Christ's sake Dennis, stop being such an antagonistic twat. Yes, it's Ali and he's off to work for Horizon Hobby. Happy now? You're like an RCU cancer......
what about his shops in the uk wont they suffer
I just ran out of talent !!!!!!!!
I don't think it will make that much difference!
It will be a shame not to see him on the UK show line, but why would he not come back for shows as he travels the world anyway doing the same thing!
This Dennis guy is like the new Easytiger. Scratch that, there can never be another easytiger!,

He was able to get in for a bit longer this time this last time simply because of the Internet Brands purchase of RCU, but those days are over and he won't be able to do that one again. So that horse has been ridden and it wont' happen again. Next time around he'll be out as soon as we catch him.
I apologize to the Jet Community at large that you have to go through all of that. We'll do our best to keep it all out of the forums
The take off is optional, but the landing is MANDATORY!!

Staff was beyond friendly,hotel is quaint...will be coming back. Beautiful hotel,good buffet breakfast...and once again the staff was so great.
Carpet had some stains on it,bed was off the frame. Quick fix by myself on the bed frame...everything else was great in the room. Maybe time for some new carpet :)
Absolutely amazing experience. Gorgeous grounds. Friendly staff. Beautiful room. Super short walk to anything & everything. Hated to check out!!!
This place reminded me of a high end B&B. A historical landmark with modern amenities situated in the heart of downtown Manitou Springs. Very clean with a very nice buffet breakfast included. Definitely stay here again on out return to the area.
The place was immaculate. They even touched up the paint every day! One of the best cared for properties I have stayed at.
