Pacific Signaleers Welcome Command Sgt. Maj from Korea
January 23, 2013
FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii -- Command Sgt. Maj. Allen Braswell received the noncommissioned officer sword from Command Sgt. Maj. Travis L. Cherry as the 516th Signal Brigade welcomed the Signal Corps' newest brigade CSM during a change of responsibility ceremony, at historic Palm Circle, Jan. 17.
In his remarks, Col. Scott Baer, 516th Sig. Bde. Commander, extended a welcome to the new commander of troops and his wife, the former Miss Piyanee Voranuch of Bangkok, Thailand.
"We are delighted to have you on board, and I look forward to working together as we continue to form this great team across the Pacific," Baer said to Braswell. "PJ welcome to the Brigade! We are lucky to have you both."
"Command Sgt. Maj. Braswell understands the complexity of the mission, coming to us from 304th Expeditionary Sig. Bn., in Korea," Baer said.
During Braswell's remarks, he expressed enthusiasm and gratitude, thanking God that he is "here in good health [and] able to take on such an awesome challenge." He said both he and PJ are passionate about the care of the Soldiers and Families of the brigade.
Braswell's portfolio speaks volumes of his experience. In addition to two Middle East tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a variety of assignments have polished him as a leader, to include tank gunner, signal system team chief, primary leadership development course instructor, section Sergeant, and drill Sergeant.
For his many military accomplishments, Braswell has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Sergeant Audie Murphy award and branch recognition for significant leadership contributions to Signal, Field Artillery, and Ordinance.
Allen Jr., one of the Braswell's three children and a Senior Airman stationed at Hickam Air Force Base, attended the ceremony with his wife, Lauren and their infant son, Levi.
Baer also took time to honor the accomplishments of outgoing Command Sgt. Maj. Cherry. He reflected on events such as the contractor-to-Soldier conversion of the Regional Hub Node in Guam, and the reorganization of 78th Sig. Bn. at in Camp Zama, Japan to accomplish the missions of both the joint task force group mission on mainland Japan and that of recently inactivated HHD, 58th Sig. Bn., on Okinawa.
"The trust and confidence Command Sgt. Maj. Cherry developed with the senior leaders of our theater over the past 14 months reaped great rewards for the brigade as we charted the way ahead under this new paradigm," Baer said.
Cherry reflected on numerous trips throughout the Pacific brought to mind by the battalion colors waving in the warm breeze: Camp Zama and Okinawa, Japan; Kwajalein Atoll; Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, and Fort Wainright/Fort Greeley, Alaska; and those around Oahu. He reflected on the extensive amount of travel inherent in managing the most geographically dispersed Signal Brigade in the Army.
"The longest time frame [Col. Baer and I] remained on Oahu was only 18 days," he stated.
Cherry credited and thanked the battalions and brigade teams for their accomplishments and support. He reminisced on events that build camaraderie such as a battalion run in Alaska's minus-ten-degree temperatures and runners wearing spikes to avoid slipping on ice, and events shared with Baer whom he described as his battle buddy, leader, mentor, friend, and most of all, as family.
Cherry will take his expertise two blocks east to the brigade's superior command in his new assignment as the 311th Signal Command (Theater) Command Sgt. Maj. His scope of leadership will include the Soldiers of the 516th Sig. Bde., the 1st Signal Brigade in Korea; HHC, 311th SC (T); and the 311th Support Unit in Costa Mesa, Calif.
"I will work hard to earn the respect of everyone -- Civilians and Soldiers, alike," Braswell said. "My fellow Noncommissioned officers and I will keep the enlisted ranks of this brigade in step and mission oriented."
Headquartered on historic Palm Circle, 516th Sig. Bde. is a major subordinate operations and maintenance command of 311th Sig. Cmd. (T) whose mission is to conduct network operations for theater-based LandWarNet communications systems, networks, and enterprise services and provide information services support to generating forces and intergovernmental, interagency and civil authorities during full spectrum operations.

More than 700 Madera Unified School District children ran around Lion's Town and Country Park fighting for school supremecy.
The Madera Unified League of Elementary Sports (M.U.L.E.S.) held the district's cross country championships Wednesday morning.
"It was a great event to have all of the elementary schools come together to show all the hard work they have done for the past few weeks in regards to their running," said Andrea Devine, M.U.L.E.S. coordinator and curriculum and instruction coach at John Adams Elementary School. "It was very well run, mainly because of Rich Parris and his Madera South team. The overall outcome was a great success."
Third through eighth graders within MUSD's 18 schools competed in the event. The runners were separated by grades (third and fourth; fifth and sixth; seventh; and eighth) and genders. Nearly 200 kids ran in each race...

Defense argues defendant did not intend to fatally shoot his girlfriend
Attorneys wrapped up arguments in the murder trial of a Menifee man accused of intentionally shooting and killing his girlfriend early last year and handed the case to the jury Tuesday afternoon.
Deputy Public Defender Michael Micallef argued there is reasonable doubt that Adam Michael Starkey, 32, of Menifee intended to kill Jennifer Bowers the night of Jan. 24, 2012, because he was extremely intoxicated, and the .38-caliber revolver used in the shooting was prone to misfires because it was more than a century old.
Deputy District Attorney Natalie Pitre disputed those arguments, however, saying drunkenness was not a defense and the gun worked fine at the time of the homicide.
"This gun didn't start malfunctioning until this trial started," Pitre said.
Micallef, however, cited testimony that suggested the gun was capable of misfiring. And he said it was manufactured before later models included a design to prevent accidental discharges.
"It's an unreliable gun," he said.
Bowers, 38, was shot to death with a single gunshot to the left side of her head after she and Starkey had a heated argument. Her body was found by authorities lying on a couch in a travel trailer they shared off Bundy Canyon Road in a rural part of the city.
Micallef noted that Starkey was found to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.23 percent — three times the level at which a motorist is presumed to be driving under the influence — at 2:51 a.m. Jan. 25. That was 4½ hours after Starkey called 911 to report the shooting, Micallef said, which explains why he could not remember some details of that fateful evening and early morning.
"Mr. Starkey couldn't remember what happened in certain instances," Micallef said. "Those chapters are gone."
It's interesting, though, said Pitre, that Starkey remembered having an argument with Bowers, firing off six rounds outside the travel trailer, coming back inside, emptying spent shells from the revolver and calling 911.
"And he can't remember 2 seconds," Pitre said, referring to the shooting. "No, he did not have an alcoholic blackout."
The influence of alcohol aside, Micallef argued that the shooting was accidental and that Starkey's actions immediately after the incident show that he had not intended to kill Bowers.
"Adam Starkey called 911 at approximately 10:18 (p.m.) to report the incident and he waited 20 minutes for the police to show up," he said. "Mr. Starkey didn't take off and try to evade the police. He was distraught. He was upset. And he called 911."
Pitre countered that Starkey was merely remorseful, but still guilty of a brutal crime.
"All the sorrys and I didn't mean tos won't bring Jenny back," Pitre said.

Luxembourg-based renewable energy fund manager Akuo Investments has invested a total of €5.16m in two renewable generation projects in France.
Akuo's Green Infra Europe vehicle invested €2.86m into an 8MW onshore wind farm in Côtes-d'Armor, which was developed by Akuo Energy and has a 15 year PPA signed with EDF. The project consists of four 2MW turbines.
Green Infra also invested €2.3m into Olmo 1, a 4MWp solar project in Corsica, France.
Olmo 1 is one of the projects awarded to Akuo Energy during the 2012 call for tender launched by the French energy regulation commission. It has a 20-year PPA with EDF SEI. The project is set to start construction this month and is expected to be completed in September 2014.
Olmo 1 represents the fund's third investment since its successful first closing in September 2013. Managed by AIM Luxembourg, the fund already invested earlier this year in a 9MW solar farm.

Deep-Sea Invertebrate Biodiversity
Why study the Deep Sea? The deep-sea floor is the largest ecosystem on this planet: the average depth of the oceans is around 4.2 kilometres, comprising approximately 65% of the planet's surface. Nevertheless, we know much less about the deep-sea fauna than (for example) the rocky intertidal zone, which makes up a minuscule proportion of the global environment. Of more immediate importance, most of Australia's marine Exclusive Economic Zone is the deep sea (depths exceeding 200 metres) and yet this area is largely unexplored. Although the EEZ sea claim made by Australia is larger than any other country, this nation's basic biological research on the deep-sea floor is limited. My planned research will explore this region to discover how the deep sea can be of broader importance to Australia. This effort is just beginning, and substantial political and funding hurdles must be surmounted before detailed work in Australian waters can begin.
Why are there so many species in the deep sea? In the last 30 years, deep sea floor faunas have been discovered to have incredibly high species diversities, despite consisting of small numbers of individuals. Low population densities owe to the food-poor setting of the deep sea. I evaluate deep-sea faunas on a historical basis, where the processes of speciation, extinction and migration may control the observed levels of animal diversity, a regional pattern. My published work has concerned diversity and biogeography (Hessler, Wilson & Thistle, 1979; Hessler & Wilson, 1983), the processes of speciation (Wilson & Hessler, 1987), the impact of the disturbance on diversity (Thistle & Wilson, 1987, 1996), and studies of the distribution of species diversity (Poore &Wilson, 1993; Rex et al., 1993). Reports on NOAA (US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) funded research has been devoted to the quantitative description of community structure of crustaceans and polychaete worms from the Central Pacific (depths 4500-5100 meters). This research provides baseline data for understanding the impacts of deep-sea mining for manganese nodules.
Current research on deep-sea faunas. A 1992 paper by US colleagues J.F. Grassle and N. Maciolek estimates global diversity of the deep-sea benthos to be at least 10 million species based on extrapolations from work in the Atlantic Ocean; this result was amplified and defended by a letter to Nature (Poore & Wilson, 1993). A different extrapolation, using the rate of species change with distance, had surprising consequences: globally isopods are more diverse than polychaete worms, despite local diversities showing the opposite relationship. Isopoda could exceed 400,000 species on a global scale, given the high rates of change observed in the North Pacific. In 1996, a workshop at the NCEAS in Santa Barbara: "Deep-Sea Biodiversity: Pattern and Scale" considered the how processes affecting biodiversity varied at different geographic scales. Research with David Thistle, Florida State University, evaluated the impact of hydrodynamic stress on isopod faunas (Thistle & Wilson, 1996). Other collaborations with colleagues at the University of Hawaii and The Natural History Museum have evaluated polychaete diversity and its relationship to productivity in the deep sea. Historical influences on isopod diversity in the Atlantic ocean (Wilson, 1998) is a continuing interest. More recently, research has evaluated the diversity of isopods in the Gulf of Mexico at local and regional scales. An unusual fauna of deep-sea isopods on the outer shelf of the Arafura Sea has been discovered in 2005.

ABCO has "ITALIAN LIBERTY" by Andrea Speziali
26 April, 2012 at 12:43 pm | 1,177 views
From Romagna in Italy at the Liberty Grand Hotel Rimini – May 11, 2012
The "Italian Liberty" ABCOnlus Cultural Association of Venice, edited by Andrea Apothecaries, (artist of the 54 th Venice Biennale) stems from re-evaluate in more depth what was the art movement Nouveau architecture in order '800 and '900 throughout Italy.
Friday, May 11 at 11:30 am in the fascinating setting of the Grand Hotel Rimini, the symbol par excellence of Liberty in Romagna, Andrea ABCOnlus Pharmacists Association representative present along with other speakers from all over Italy the project" Italian Liberty ' '.
The cultural event of great prominence and importance to life by innovative studies of A. Apothecaries published in the monograph Romagna Liberty output for May 2012 with the publishing house Maggioli, who will sign the project later editorial Italy" Liberty" with a series of volumes divided by regions.
The Association will present the project ABCOnlus Liberty" Italian" to give the opportunity for all stakeholders and fans can enter the project in order to make it grow with new Lenders and Sponsors to take it with a show, and a Photo competition in Venice at a location of the events of the Biennale di Venezia.
Currently, you can visit the online initiative of www.italialiberty.it including links to pages related to the project as: www.romagnaliberty.it
During the conference ITALIAN LIBERTY, will present the project to the general public, the intentions and cultural developments of this initiative.
The intent is to analyze and document the history of Art Nouveau architecture in Italy and its players for raising public awareness towards the conservation, protection and enhancement of the remaining evidence of this architectural style in these times because of speculation is disappearing. Especially nannies initiative will bring to light unpublished documents in the field of Art Nouveau architecture in Italy.
The organization of the cultural event Romagna" Liberty" filed July 27, 2011 at the Palace of Tourism in Riccione was attended by Vittorio Sgarbi, and finally the installation of the exhibition of the finalists eponymous photo contest, held from August 18 October 6, 2011 at the Hotel De La Ville in Riccione, where we could admire the photographs of beautiful Art Nouveau residences throughout the region Emilia-Romagna. The success turns his gaze on the whole of Italy.
The conference is organized by ABCOnlus, association created in 2001 to work for the promotion and enhancement of cultural heritage through the organization of exhibitions and events through the web portal www.beniculturalionline.it Italian and English-www.cultural hub. com.

No sooner did I put out my cry to the universe — "Help! I have to clear out my elderly parents' stuffed-full house, and I don't know what to do with it all!" — than the universe answered.
My super-secondhand-sales-savvy friend Aaron LaPedis flew into town.
The author of "Garage Sale Millionaire" (Wiley) had come to Orlando to visit theme parks with his wife and 3-year-old son. I took it as a sign. Divine deliverance. LaPedis graciously interrupted his adventures at The Happiest Place on Earth, and squeezed in coffee with this neurotic home columnist between visits to Sea World and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
He swore he didn't mind listening to me blubber about my home-life problems when he could be meeting Disney princesses at Epcot. That's the kind of guy he is.
What's more, the garage-sale guru slash art-gallery owner is just as at home at a high-end antiques auction as at a low-end yard sale. The Donald Trump describes him this way: "Aaron sees opportunities that others can't."
I mean, the guy buys abandoned, unopened storage lockers (ones in better ZIP codes) for a flat fee. Like buying an oyster from a pearl diver, he never knows what's inside. Dead bodies? A Steinway Baby Grand? He takes what he gets — bust or bonanza — then sells it.
"But how do you know what to sell where, and for how much?" I ask. This is the skill set I need as I sift through Mom's old jewelry, Dad's tools, their furniture, art, dishes, collections and the random detritus that once meant something, if only to them.
May the Force be with me.
"So you want to liquidate," he said, summing up my 15-minute rant.
Like men often do, he changed everything in a word.
"That's it!" I said. "I've been thinking about this all wrong! I'm looking at this job as disassembling my parents' past! As writing the final chapter to a bygone era! When I'm just liquidating! Selling assets that can help pay for their long-term assisted living."
Light bulbs were flashing in my brain like the cameras of paparazzi. The pure obviousness was dawning on me. "I'm being sentimental when I need to be practical! Oh, Aaron! You've helped me reframe everything!"
He looked at me as if I needed a tranquilizer, and nodded politely.
"A lot of people are turning stuff they don't want into cash right now, for other reasons," he said. "They see the bills coming in from Christmas and feel that credit-card hangover."
"I'm liquidating, not erasing history!"
More polite nodding, and then LaPedis offered me some golden advice on what to sell where, which you, too, can use whether emptying a loved one's home, downsizing, or trying to get ahead of the bills.
May the Force be with you.
Syndicated columnist and speaker Marni Jameson is the author of "House of Havoc" and "The House Always Wins" (Da Capo Press). Contact her atmarnijameson.com.

What to sell where

Here's where to liquidate, depending on what you're getting rid of, according to Aaron LaPedis, the Garage Sale Millionaire.
• Garage sales. Host one to sell household stuff under $100: garden tools, baby furniture, kitchen ware, clothes, "stuff you would never take the time to put on Craigslist," said LaPedis. Garage sales bring in money right away and they're free. Inside tip: Accept only cash.
• Craigslist. Like a yard-sale online, Craigslist is perfect for those who want fast cash and don't want to pay someone else to sell their stuff. It's the place for larger, lower-end items, like bedroom sets, office furniture and appliances. Because buyers are local (or should be), you skip shipping costs. Inside tip: Sell only to buyers who will pick up the item. Accept only cash, never checks, certified funds or wired money. When a buyer is going to meet you, have someone with you.
• eBay. Sell smaller, more valuable items like collectibles and fine jewelry through this online trading site. You will likely get the highest value but will pay eBay and PayPal fees and shipping. Inside tip: Use PayPal. It's the safest payment method because it protects buyers and sellers. Never send anything without a signature required. LaPedis also recommends insuring shipments.
• Vendors. You can sell your items to a reseller, such as a flea market, antique shop or secondhand store, but be prepared to get only about 25 percent of the value.
• Jewelry buyers. Despite what you (or your relative) paid, expect to sell gold and silver jewelry for meltdown value. The exceptions are collectible coins, fine watches and jewelry from high-end designers. (Think Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier.) Jewelry stores will buy your gold for its weight and purity. Go to a few buyers and compare offers. "Never put your gold in a bag and ship it to one of those outfits online and wait for a check. You will be at their mercy," he said.
• Pawn shops. Go only as a desperate measure. Pawn shops will typically offer you only 10 cents or less on the dollar.
• Collectors. Rare books and coins do sell on eBay, but sellers may do better going through an auction house, like Heritage, which specializes in selling items made in multiples that are collected in sets. Big-time collectors may scan eBay, but feel more confident buying at auctions, where a professional has reviewed the item. Inside tip: Auction houses will typically take 10 to 15 percent. Find out up front.
• Auctions. Consider taking antiques and fine art to a local antiques dealer, who can take them to an auction. But if your item is worth more than $5,000, contact Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Denver.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Hiram Atwater returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown to seal UAB's 30-17 win over Southern Mississippi on Thursday night, the Blazers' first victory over their Conference USA rival.
The Blazers (2-3, 2-1) had set up Josh Zahn's second field goal of the fourth quarter after recovering a muffed punt. Southern Miss (3-2, 1-1) still needed only a touchdown and extra point to improve to 10-0 over UAB.
Atwater stepped in front of Austin Davis's first pass of the drive that started with 1:19 left and no timeouts. Atwater crossed the field and raced into the end zone. He earlier recovered a fumble to set up the go-ahead score late in the third quarter.
Joe Webb rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown and passed for another score for the Blazers, who had lost three straight games and were humiliated 70-14 by the Golden Eagles last season.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Assyrians: A flying Minotaur people of the North Tigris River plain.
Early History
The first Assyrians were nomadic goat herders from Anatolia who settled somewhere in the modern day U.S. Province of Iraq In around 1500 BCE. Their original name for themselves was Mogatu, but the derogatory "Assyrian" was coined by the Syrians, who thought it was pretty funny. As great lovers of animals the early Assyrians ate mainly To-Fu and set up a peaceful and splendid city with equality for all citizens. How ever in the year 1400 BCE while the Assyrian King Tiglath Pilezar was on a daisy picking excursion he was ambushed and murdered by roaming Babylonians. The raiders then pillaged the city and burned down the magnificent buildings that had taken a century to build. This set a trend for the next 500 years, as the Assyrians passed from under the heel of one great nation to another. Special cruelty was practiced upon the populace of Assyria for mere sport. As we see from an article in the Old Testament the Assyrians had a high reputation for meekness and killibilty.
"... and the lord said unto David, be kind to the weak, and treateth others how thou would wisheth to be treated, except for those pussy Assyrians, you can fucking ub3r-pwn them for all I care..."
However in 900 BCE a young Assyrian man invented the beard, a hairy mass which hangs from a man's chin and cheeks. This also co-incided with the advent of the sub-machine gun. These two new technologies allowed for the Assyrians to gain political independence, and develope the most advanced society the world has yet to know.
The Golden Age
when the japanese farted and gassed out the assyrian army at the battel of Yorktown
Important Battles
The battle of Stalingrad in 825 BCE was faught between the Assyrian army and Coalition of Babylonians and Medes. The current Kind Adadnarari II recounts the battle: "Pwn3d"
The Battle of Sai Pon Valley 744 BCE: Assyrian forces crushed a Pheonician fleet, and sunk several boatloads of Egyptian refugees.
Gettysburg 700 BCE: After a long seige and the eventual use of nerve gas the city of Tyre was made an example to all other nations, that basically surrender or not your screwed.
659 BCE paratroops make a surprise occupation of the entire continent of Asia.
620 BCE: Hydrogen bombs used on the remaining pockets of native resistance in North America.
Mecha Pyramid 811 BCE , built under Shalmanasar with the slave leighbore of 100,000 elamite prisoners of war. Made of solid the steel the still tallest free-standing structure on Earth.
Parthenon 743 BCE, A fairly simple structure used for public orgies, how ever made from the melted down bones of the citizens of Isreal.
Colesium, The Mold for a giant donut ordered by Sennacherib V in 662 BCE
Decline and Fall
After all known civilizations in the world had been mercilessly subjugated the Assyrians grew so bored they destroyed themselves, and being spiteful as they were took all their wondrous inventions with them. From written records scientists estimate that our current technology is about as 1/5 as advanced as a random piece of crap thrown together by an Assyrian child. How ever Assyrians still exist today as wacky Christians and a tribe in Age of Empires.
Culture and Fun Facts
The Assyrians at first worshiped the god of gay ass grass, then later in history a horney god of fire with tremendous black eyes was adopted as chief deity.
Assyrians hated babies so bad that children were forced to live in their mother's womb until the age of 5.
The beard of an adult Assyrian man was approximately as durable as titanium alloy.
The only idea we have today that was not previously invented by the Assyrians is incredibly stupid pop-culture music fads.
While Assyrian archers have 40% increased fire rate, they are unable to upgrade to Improved Bowman or Heavy Horse Archer. Ur ass is grass!

Someone swiped historic bull statue's horn
By: Martha Garcia, Colfax Record Editor
Vandals caught on video
In September 2010, the newly restored Bull and the Bear – two of Colfax's beloved icons – found a new home at the historic Railroad Depot. Last week, vandals climbed the fence and stole one of the bull's horns. After the breakage was discovered May 11, Colfax Area Heritage Museum volunteer Donna Williams reviewed the security system and found evidence of the vandalism on video from the previous night. "At 11:40:57 the kids come running from the direction of the fruit shed, three of them," Williams said. "They run till they get to the edge of the building, stop, start walking, and the one in the lead walks up, hops over the fence, jumps up on the ball, acts like he is riding it," before he fell off and remounts after several tries. The video also shows one of the vandals kicking the horn several times while sitting on the bull and eventually breaking off the horn. The three males – and another man who stopped to watch – eventually walk off with the bull's horn in hand. There might also be more evidence, as it also appears that one of the vandals was taking photos with a camera or phone. "We want the horn back," Williams said. According to Nancy Hagman, a Colfax historian, this was at least the fourth time the bulls have lost their horns. The redwood sculptures, owned by the Colfax Historical Society, were carefully restored by area artists Mel Henderson, his son, Theron Henderson, and John Barrow. The life-sized animals had been fixtures in front of the Bull and Bear restaurant on Canyon Way in Illinoistown and deteriorated over time. Historians believe they represented fights between real bulls and bears that were staged during the Gold Rush. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Sgt. Andrew Scott, Placer Sheriff's substation commander, at 308-4033.

Group‐theoretical foundations of classical and quantum mechanics. II. Elementary systems20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524068View Description Hide Description
Classical and quantum elementary systems are investigated from the point of view of invariance under a connected Lie group. The classification and characterization of elementary systems are considered in a unified way. The representation theory of symmetric and enveloping algebras is used as a tool in order to characterize the observables physically and also to analyze the analogies between classical and quantum mechanics. The results obtained are applied to the Galilei, Poincaré, and Weyl Lie groups.
Exotic spinors in superconductivity20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524069View Description Hide Description
The existence of inequivalent types of spinors in spaces which are not simply connected is mathematically investigated. The mathematical results provide a purely geometrical explanation of the charge dependence of quantized flux and Josephson current in superconductivity.
On the expansion of the propagator in power series of the coupling constant20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524070View Description Hide Description
We show by simple rearrangements of the Lippmann–Schwinger equation, that the propagator (Green's function) of a linear physical field can be expanded in power series valid for values of the coupling constant either close to unity or very large. The new series satisfy the generalized resolvent operator equation first derived by Mockel.
Conformal flatness and the Schwarzschild interior solution20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524071View Description Hide Description
The paper gives a rigorous proof of the theorem that the only static conformally flat metric for a perfect fluid distribution is the Schwarzschild interior metric.
Invariant operators of IU(n) and IO(n) and their eigenvalues20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524072View Description Hide Description
A systematic explicit evaluation of the invariant operators of IU(n) and IO(n) has been carried out. It is found that the invariant operators of IU(n) and IO(n) can be obtained from those of U(n,1) and O(n,1) by simple substitution. Similarly the eigenvalues of the invariant operators of IU(n) and IO(n) can be obtained from those of U(n,1) and O(n,1) by simple substitution. Since the invariant operators and their eigenvalues of U(n,1) and O(n,1) are closely related to those of U(n+1) and O(n+1) our results can be expressed in explicitly closed and simple form.
Automorphisms of the Bianchi model Lie groups20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524073View Description Hide Description
A derivation of the group of automorphisms of the Lie group of isometries characteristic of each of the nine Bianchi types of cosmologies is presented.
Perturbative solution of the Percus–Yevick integral equation for a general class of intermolecular potential20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524074View Description Hide Description
A qualitative investigation of the Percus–Yevick integral equation by perturbation method is discussed for a general class of intermolecular potential. Under some general assumptions it is proved that the Percus–Yevick integral equation has a unique solution when the particle density ρ is in the region 0<ρ<0.33, and a divergent solution when ρ is greater convergent if the supremum norms of the nth order solutions are less than or equal to n!
Classification of gauge fields20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524075View Description Hide Description
It is shown that the Lorentz invariants of an arbitrary gauge field are double valued functions of a Lorentz invariant matrix L i j when rank L=3 and single valued functions of L i j when rank L≠3. The question of how many Lorentz inequivalent realizations of the Lorentz invariants there are is answered. This leads naturally to a classification of an arbitrary gauge field at a space–time point, given previously by Anandan and Tod based on the rank of L. The answer to the analogous question for the gauge invariants of the SU(2) gauge field leads to a new classification of this field. Five more classifications of this field, including one which is symmetric with respect to space–time and isospin groups, are also presented.
Exceptional gauge groups and quantum theory20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524076View Description Hide Description
It is shown that a Hilbert space over the real Clifford algebraC 7 provides a mathematical framework, consistent with the structure of the usual quantum mechanical formalism, for models for the unification of weak, electromagnetic and strong interactions utilizing the exceptional Lie groups. In particular, in case no further structure is assumed beyond that of C 7, the group of automorphisms leaving invariant a minimal subspace acts, in the ideal generated by that subspace, as G 2, and the subgroup of this group leaving one generating element (e 7) fixed acts, in this ideal, as the color gauge group SU(3). A generalized phase algebra A⊇C 7 is defined by the requirement that quantum mechanical states can be consistently constructed for a theory in which the smallest linear manifolds are closed over the subalgebra C(1,e 7) (isomorphic to the complex field) of C 7. Eight solutions are found for the generalized phase algebra, corresponding (up to an overall sign), in effect, to the use of ±e 7 as imaginary unit in each of four superselection sectors. Operators linear over these alternative forms of imanary unit provide distinct types of ''lepton–quark'' and ''quark–quark'' transitions. The subgroup in A which leaves expectation values of operators linear over A invariant is its unitary subgroup U(4), and is a realization (explicitly constructed) of the U(4) invariance of the complex scalar product. An embedding of the algebraic Hilbert space into the complex space defined over C(1,e 7) is shown to lead to a decomposition into ''lepton and ''quark'' superselection subspaces. The color SU(3) subgroup of G 2 coincides with the SU(3) subgroup of the generalized phase U(4) which leaves the ''lepton'' space invariant. The problem of constructing tensor products is studied, and some remarks are made on observability and the role of nonassociativity.
Scattering theory and polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524077View Description Hide Description
The techniques of scattering theory are used to investigate polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. The discrete analog of the Jost function, which has been shown to play an important role in the theory of polynomials orthogonal on a segment of the real line, is defined for this system and its properties are investigated. The relation between the Jost function and the weight function is discussed. The techniques of inverse scatteringtheory are developed and used to obtain new asymptotic formulas satisfied by the polynomials. A set of sum rules satisfied by the coefficients in the recurrence relaxation is exhibited. Finally, Szegö's theorem on Toeplitz determinants is proved using the recurrence formulas and the Jost function. The techniques of inverse scatteringtheory are used to find the correction terms.
Covariant perturbed wave equations in arbitrary type‐D backgrounds20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524064View Description Hide Description
We present an approach to the fundamental tensorial quantities of general relativity which is inherently covariant and based on the irreducible representations of the Lorentz group, O(3,1). Using this technique, the wave equations appropriate to perturbing, massless, D(0,s), fields in an arbitrary curved background are studied and a relationship between the decoupling of (at least) one of the equations and the algebraic degeneracy of the spacetime is shown. It is then found that sufficient conditions for decoupling the equations determining both of the radiative components (the extremal helicities) are that the space be of type D. Using Plebański–Demiański coordinates to describe such an arbitrary vacuum spacetime (of type D), we separate the (decoupled) perturbation equations for the radiative components corresponding to spin s=0, 1/2, 1, and 2.
On the completeness of the natural modes for quantum mechanical potential scattering20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524065View Description Hide Description
The set of natural modes, associated with quantum mechanical scattering from a central potential of finite‐range is shown to be complete. The natural modes satisfy a non‐Hermitian homogeneous integral equation, or alternatively, are solutions of the time independent Schrödinger equation subject to a recently formulated nonlocal boundary condition (the quantum mechanical extinctiontheorem). An expansion theorem similar to that of Hilbert–Schmidt is formulated, valid for values of the solution of the scattering integral equation inside the range of the potential. The boundary conditionsgenerated by the quantum mechanical extinctiontheorem are shown to be closely connected with the Jost function.
Canonical Schwartz spaces and generalized operators20(1979); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.524066View Description Hide Description
For a C ∞ multiplier ω, on R n we define the concepts of differentiability and codifferentiability in the Von Neumann algebra generated by the regular ω representation of R n . Analogs of the classical Schwartz space and its dual are formulated and the case where ω is fully antisymmetric is studied. Connections with the canonical Fourier transform of an earlier paper are investigated.

$3K reward offered for info about missing man
Thursday, May 5, 2011
WARRENTON, Mo. (AP) — Relatives of a Columbia man who remains missing nearly five months after his car was found on Interstate 70 have offered a $3,000 reward for information that helps find him.
Nicholas Coppola, 25, is thought to have been driving to his parents' home in the eastern Missouri town of Weldon Springs in December when he ran out of gas west of Foristell.
Police found his wallet and a cellphone inside his abandoned car.
The Columbia Tribune reports Coppola had met members of a religious group and talked about going to California with them at one point. But shortly before his disappearance talk had shifted to returning to school.
Coppola had been studying economics at the University of Missouri but dropped out in the spring 2010 semester.

MEMRI's Selective Picture of Arab World
Assaf David, Haaretz
AP Photo
On June 26, the Middle East Media Research Institute (better known by the acronym Memri ), published a translated article in Hebrew, titled "The Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood's website: The days of the Jewish state are short." The original Arabic article, authored by the Jordanian Islamist Dr. Salah Al-Khalidi, appeared on the Brotherhood's website on May 17 on the occasion of "Nakba Day." Al-Khalidi's main argument was that the Jews are a foreign abscess in the Middle East and that there are ample signs that their state is nearing its end. Those who are well versed with the Islamist ideological and theological discourse on Zionism can stop right here: His was a copy-paste propaganda article, the likes of which can be found by the thousands in Arab and Islamist media outlets....

How we were left in Bahrain Airport overnight
How the failure of a PR representative lead to four journalists detained and stuck in Bahrain Airport.
January 20, 2013 12:57 by Muhammad Aldalou
The deafening sound of excited celebration whizzed through the stadium grounds as thousands of Emiratis cheered their Football team on against Iraq in the final match of the Gulf Cup on Friday evening. And four journalists watched it briefly off a 10-inch screen at an airport McDonald's.
Nothing against the fast food chain or their screens, as I'm sure thousands of fans across Bahrain, the UAE and the rest of the Middle East happily watched it off some sort of cinematic surface but this is the story of four journalists who were detained, ignored and trapped in limbo for the better part of 15 hours as a result of a severe PR misconduct.
While others have encouraged me to 'name and shame' the PR company, I've decided to take the high road on this one. I'd merely like to note our experiences with the disaster of a journey in hopes that 1) fellow journalists will take extra caution when accepting a press trip; 2) people can appreciate the magnitude of such a failure and 3) you will feel that you've had a good weekend in comparison to mine. Very selfless, don't you think?
I was accompanied by three fellow British journalists – which for the purposes of entering Bahrain seemed rather convenient as we could manage the passport control gate as a group. The PR representative, who'd been assigned to both invite and take care of us was nowhere to be seen. Through no fault of her own, we were separated by two different shuttle buses and so while we queued at passport control, she'd already gone through. But I'd received a reassuring call from her moments before our turn was up, telling me that we could contact her should we face any difficulties with immigration.
When it was our turn to approach the immigration officer, it turned out that four unaccompanied journalists with no official accreditation or invitation were looked at rather suspiciously. What followed were approximately twenty minutes of blunt questioning until we were eventually told we needed to be investigated in the control room – precisely because we had no proof that we were there for the Gulf Cup Final. We attempted to ring the PR rep several times but our calls was never answered.
A number of officials approached us with different requests and questions, all as significantly irrelevant as the next and by the time we'd been given a final form (apparently the immigration one wasn't extensive enough) we'd given up on entering the country as the match was already underway and we'd lost our only method of transportation in Bahrain.
The 12 hours that followed then were filled with confusion, panic and hopeless boredom. We didn't mind the wait but we were never given any details for our return flight. We had no idea if our names existed on any list. We had no flight information, timing or code. And the rather bitter employees at the terminal couldn't help much because it was a chartered flight and they had little to no information; although they did direct us to different gates for different reasons all which did not pan out. We enjoyed the exercise nonetheless.
We began discussing every possible eventuality, while frequently echoing our disbelief at her lack of professionalism. Since it was now clear that the PR (with now no excuse not to pick up as this was hours after the match ended) was dodging our calls and refusing to respond to our text messages; we were entirely convinced that we will in fact be left behind and be forced to stay over an entire day in the terminal.
Eventually, we agreed to take matters into our hands, book our own commercial flights and get back on our own terms, whatever the cost. Well, almost whatever. We hit a wall when we weren't willing to pay a 12,000 Dirham fare on business class trip to Dubai and every other possible flight was entirely booked. We were once again helplessly back to square one except that by this point we were utterly exhausted.
After a few more hours of pondering our fate and continuing to make phone calls (which remain unanswered) we finally managed to get in touch with another journalist, the only other that actually made it through without us. He proved to be helpful as he badgered the PR and other officials for information while they relayed useless messages to us through him. Eventually, we were told that they would be boarding a plane but from a different terminal – which we obviously had no authority to get to. We couldn't enter the country and there was nowhere to return to but we were told of a possibility that we could hitch a ride on one of the shuttle buses leaving from a specific gate. We lugged ourselves there only to find a massive crowd of excited football fans (their excitement was dampened later but not yet) and a backlog of flights. Fighting our way through the crowd, the officials confirmed the existence of said shuttle – which to us was more of a miracle than a mere vehicle on wheels – but that we weren't allowed to be on it.
It boiled down to this: if we were to have any chance of boarding our flight then somebody would have to personally escort us because since we had no boarding passes or evidence of a flight; we belonged to nothing. Another round of calls and text messages later and we eventually got through to the PR rep. She defensively denied all responsibility, said that she was unable to help and 'washed her hands of us' before hanging up the phone again. We called again, this time truly panicked and demanded that someone should come and collect us because it was unthinkable that the person who'd been assigned to us should turn her back with no conscience.
We waited at the gate for a good four hours, drifting off into moments of sleep before being miraculously awoken by fate. Karma had revealed its gorgeous head. Evidently there was a mishap with their chartered flight and so all the passengers that were meant to be on it (excluding us) were forced to return to the terminal we were in. We were hoping for one person to come and collect us and instead got 130 people (give or take). Sure, they weren't there for us but at the time we had to make use of any positive sentiment we could find.
As we rushed through the crowds and spotted the familiar faces of the ones who'd made it through we were beyond relieved. In fact, at that moment it was pure bliss. On the other hand, the PR rep made a point of walking past us several times without so much as blinking, and here we were hoping for a hint of remorse or a supportive syllable. Silly us. If you are unwilling to help, take any responsibility, answer your calls or at least accommodate the journalists that you personally invited then you are in the wrong line of work.
In any case, gratitude and relief sunk in and we didn't even mind the additional four-hour wait that followed; although to say that the lack of organisation and amount of waiting time had dampened the victory of the UAE fans would be an understatement. We did have the rare chance to be part of interesting conversations with many Emiratis and while we complained about the backlog of flights, one of them told me he didn't understand the logic behind sending every national that was willing to go to the match without a solid plan to accommodate them later. I agreed and we smiled.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. It makes me thankful I've never encountered such incompetence. Did the PR agency invite you on behalf of a client? If so, then they ought to know about this.
The complete turnaround of the PR exec's attitude is strange…no apologies or even faint attempts at ironing things out…it's a shame because there are people in the PR industry that are genuinely hardworking and reliable.
What a nightmare! You should name and shame the PR agency so they wont pull off such a stunt again.
I have been working in Public Relations for the last 12 years and never heard such a horrific story. What I am more surprised about is the attitude of that person and how she just decided that she doesn't need to answer calls or assume responsibility. This goes to show how unprofessional people can actually be. You know, this is the kind of unfortunate situations and circumstances that give the PR industry a negative image. What a shame!

I've just written a Religion News Service story about whether people of faith make easier marks for con artists, prompted by the news of a Ponzi scheme that scammed $30 million from Chicago-area Muslims, along with other affinity frauds that have targeted Jews (Madoff, anyone?), Mormons, evangelical Christians, etc., in recent years.
There aren't any official stats yet on whether being religious makes you more likely to be swindled, or whether particular denominations are more often defrauded than others, but the experts I consulted say there's a link between religiosity and increased trust/naivety, and that Mormons and evangelical Christian groups with strong social networks seem to suffer a disproportionate amount of fraud.
With that in mind, and the holiday giving season upon us, check out Nicholas Kristof's column for The New York Times, "When Donations Go Astray." If you want to donate to a faith-based charity, he has some advice for ensuring that your money gets to the right place.

Wells Fargo supports education with holiday gifts
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 19 December 2007 07:01
- Written by Town Crier Report
Several local schools received a special holiday delivery from Wells Fargo Bank Dec. 12. Wells Fargo managers personally delivered $1,000 checks to Almond Elementary, Blach Junior High, Bullis Charter, Covington Elementary, Loyola Elementary, Oak Avenue Elementary, Los Altos High and Mountain View High schools.
The donations will benefit the local schools by paying for school supplies, improving facilities and funding extracurricular activities.
"Today Wells Fargo is giving thanks and showing our support to local Peninsula educators for what they do in our community," said Bob Ceglio, Wells Fargo's Peninsula Regional president. "Supporting our schools is the right thing to do, and we invite others to contribute to schools in our community."
Wells Fargo invites customers to contribute to their choice of local schools, the American Red Cross or the Save the Bay environmental effort by opening new accounts and services. Wells Fargo automatically will contribute up to $30 per customer when new, qualified accounts such as checking with deposit and credit cards are opened through Dec. 31.
Local schools also benefited from Wells Fargo's "Adopt-a-School" initiative. This year the community partnership raised $68,500 for local schools. Wells Fargo pledged $100 for Bay Area public schools every time the San Francisco Giants scored during KNBR-AM (680) broadcasts this season. On the Peninsula, Wells Fargo adopted Green Oaks Academy in East Palo Alto and Mariano Castro Elementary in Mountain View.

google search quality team
In a post at Search Engine Roundtable it appears as though numerous webmasters and the like are receiving notices which appear to indicate a distinction between buying and selling links. (i.e., inbound vs. outbound links) Granted, it may be too early to discern whether or not these individuals did something silly, like buying 10k backlinks in one shot and sending up the red flags. Nevertheless, it appears as though
As late as this past January, Google assured website designers, developers and SEO's that backlinks to your website cannot necessarily count against you. The premise is that if such influence were possible, other webmasters looking to out-rank a competitor could simply sabotage the competitor by directing low quality backlinks from content farms and spam sites to competitors sites, thereby knocking them down a notch or two in the SERPS, or even worse, having the site deindexed. Well, tighten up that belt and be prepared for some sad news because things may have changed with Google's inbound link policy under the Farmer "Panda") update!
Google has really been cracking the whip with Panda, and the algorithm changes have been very unpredictable for many SEO's and webmasters alike.
Do you remember back in March when the likes of Panda classified Google Places as a content farm? The nightmares of the Panda monium keep coming in from around the globe, and it appears that no one, not even Google itself, has immunity from the vicious karate chops being doled-out by this cute, fuzzy creature in its attempt to make web search a better experience.
What many of us do know with relative uncertainty is that the overall affect of Panda is anything but concluded, and it appears that perhaps more algorithm changes are being added and tweaked as we speak. Why just last month Panda gave the karate chop to .co.cc domains with the contention that they are protecting users from malware, a measure I certainly endorse 100%!
