OK clearly Eli is on his game today...
That was absolutely horrendous
Kool terrible eli showed up
Lol gotta love it..the worst defense in the nfl ...

I was afraid of Eli going against Spags. Even though that defense hasn't been good overall, they've been solid as of late. If anyone can draw up complex coverages to confuse Eli it's Spags. Although, that play just looked like an awful decision and throw by Eli.
DAVID WILSON LEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Woooooohooooooo **** giving the ball to the offenseeeeee let's GOOOOOO
I love David Wilson.

Nice, i like it!
Here is my first completed map, realised with CC3. The symbols are from the Fantasy Overland symbol set from ProFantasy. The "Terra Incognita" legend was hand-calligraphed (original size: A4), scanned, and imported on the map after receiving a glow effect.
For more details, please refer to this thread: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4233
As for the backstory: a recently colonised continent, largely unexplored beyond the eastern montain ranges. The various settlements belong to different realms from beyond the sea, including a collection of keeps under the dominion of an independant knightly order (think: teutonic knights).
No explorer venturing beyond the montains was ever seen again and so would-be explorers are rare ; therefore the local lords try to keep the age of exploration alive by giving each sentenced convict the choice between execution or setting out to the unknown with a mission to seize lands and resources in the name of his liege.
The city of VilleFranche (FreeTown) may be independent from other realms, its inhabitants are actually prisoners in anything but name, having settled there as they lacked the courage to enter the Terrra Incognita, but unable to return to their homelands on pain of death. A bleak city whose economy is based on preying upon the never-ending flow of newcomers.

Nice, i like it!
Nice map. In general, I don't like symbol based mapping programs. I started out with Fractal mapper, but stopped using it due to problems I had with start changes in colors between one symbol and another or symbol vs background color. I think that if I were to do something with a symbol mapping program again (other than something like a dungeon map or perhaps a topographical world/regional map where these are really problems), I would have to use GIMP to do some post processing. I hope you don't mind, but I cut out a section of your map and did a bit of smudge and blur in GIMP to show what I mean. Again, this is not a criticism of your map as you have made some very nice choices with the symbols you used (I love those mountain symbols!), just a complaint against symbol based mapping programs in general.
Note that I did not hit every symbol, but if you not, you will see the colors on most of the symbols now have a very gradual transition from symbol to background color that looks a bit more natural. Also, I did not really try very hard to be perfect here, just enough to give the general idea.

Very pretty! I really like the topography.
CC3 is a bit of a curate's egg: the best CC3 maps I've seen don't actually look like they've been created in CC3 or at least keep you guessing. The problem with symbol driven software (for me) is that it's very difficult to personalise your own style with them although with CC3 I have seen it done with terrific results - but I think it's more difficult with CC3 than say, a raster or vector paint program where you are forced to personalise from the get go (unless you're following a tutorial - but even then it's so easy to just experiment and find something new). Of course if you're not after creating anything that's particularly original and just want to put a map together quickly that looks pretty good, then CC3 is hard to beat.
I do like what you have done with your map though, it has a self containment to it and it looks like a fair bit of thought has gone into the placement of the symbols.
Thanks for the smudge tip. I will try it and report the results since I have the GIMP installed here.
For your information, it seems that some of the CC3 programers have heard your complaints about the symbols not blending in the background: many symbols come now in a multi-sheet version, with the outline and the color fill sitting on different sheets. This allows to keep the outline sharp and to add a blur on the fill to make a smoother transition with the background (see an extreme example below). Unfortunately I was not aware of this when I did this first map and I used the single-sheet symbols...
Your smudge tool still seems the more flexible option as I understand I can pick the areas that I want to modify, instead of applying the effect on the whole sheet.

As you said, at least CC devs have some thoughts behind this, but it's not always wanted to blur all around the symbol when you just want to blur the bottom edge....

I replaced the pic of the first post of this thread with an improved version:
- the colors of some symbols were smudged in the GIMP, as recommended by jfrazierjr. I did not get results as clean as seen in the examples he showed in his post, but it does break the monotony of repeating symbols and looks a little bit less "copy / paste".
- the border received a couple of effects in CC3. It was looking a little bit "too perfect" for a supposedly hand-drawn map.
Looks like map creation in CC3 + final fine tuning in GIMP will become my standard operating procedure.
One thing I have heard a lot of is that CC can't AA text for spit, so a lot of people leave labeling for a third party application such as GIMP... Gandwarf in particular has gotten some good results there....

Overall Nicely done map.
I do like the mountains. Better than what I have been able to manage so far anyway, but that is what I get for using a raster program I guess...
Other than some of the things already mentioned, I would only add that the text just doesn't seem to match up with the cities/mountains. The text is blurred slightly, which doesn't seem to me to fit with the mountains and cities, which are very sharp.

Driver killed in Saturday morning crash on CR 225A
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 9:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 9:13 a.m.
An Ocala man was killed and a Fairfield couple seriously injured in a two-vehicle crash on Northwest County Road 225A Saturday morning that attracted curious neighbors in the community and blocked the two-lane roadway for hours.
The driver of a white 1992 Toyota station wagon, Jose Tellez-Plata, died at the scene, according to Florida Highway Patrol officials. The 30-year-old was not wearing his seat belt and was on his way to work when the accident occurred, authorities said.
The 7:55 a.m. accident, which occurred in the 9300 block of County Road 225A, closed a portion of highway for about three hours as troopers investigated the crash and employees from a tow company removed debris from the roadway and put the mangled vehicles on tow trucks.
The crash also involved a 2000 Dodge Dakota pickup towing a black 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible, according to authorities. The driver of the pickup, David Huffman Jr., 48, and his wife, Robin Huffman, 49, both of Fairfield, were taken to Ocala Regional Medical Center.
They were listed in serious but stable condition, according to FHP. The couple, who were wearing their seat belts, had been on their way to a car show when the crash occurred.
Troopers said the station wagon was northbound on CR 225A and, for some unknown reason, crossed over into the southbound lane of the two-lane highway. It hit the pickup truck head-on.
The truck rolled over at least once and caught on fire. But the couple, who had been wearing seat belts, was able to get out.
Craig Frazee, 53, whose home is near where the accident occurred, said he heard no brakes, just a loud boom. He looked out a window, saw the vehicles and called 911.
Gail Mayer, 72, was working nearby at Laughing Horse Farm, bringing horses from the pasture, when she, too, heard the loud crash.
Mayer said it was foggy at the time. Troopers said, however, that fog did not appear to be a factor in the accident.
The death was the third for 2013 in Marion County. Of the three, two were within the county, while the third was in Ocala city limits. And of the three fatalities, two were juveniles.
Last year, 70 people died from traffic-related accidents in Marion County.

Marines win Warrior Games
Athletic competition for wounded troops taps competitive drive for rehab
The Marines fought off a near upset from the Army this week in the 2013 Warrior Games, claiming a fourth Chairman's Cup and another year of bragging rights as undefeated champion of the athletic competition for troops injured by combat, illness or accidents.
At closing ceremonies Thursday night in Colorado Springs, Colo., the 50-member team of active duty and veteran Marines belted their hymn for the crowd, singing "From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli…" Some of the athletes sat in wheelchairs or stood on prosthetic legs. Some couldn't see the cup they passed around, but they kissed and hugged it and each other.
Marine camaraderie and spirit, including a refusal to accept defeat or one's own limitations, physical or mental, carried them to victory, said Col. Willard Buhl, commanding officer of the Wounded Warrior Regiment for active duty Marines in recovery.
"That's how we live every day and that's how these athletes trained and how they came together as a family, as a unit. They performed like Marines. We think we are the best in the world, and we are!" Buhl told U-T in a phone interview after the ceremony, his voice ebullient with pride.
The Warrior Games were created to encourage a healthy, active lifestyle for troops with permanent physical disabilities such as amputations, as well as traumatic brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder and other ailments.
Visually impaired runners circled the track with a helping hand to guide them. During trials, one athlete used his teeth to draw his archery bow. The crowd of families and other supporters rattled the gym with their cheers during sitting volleyball and wheelchair basketball tournaments.
"Sometimes we have to hide therapy with fun and competition. And this is a very, very important aspect of our healing. It's not just the physical, it is absolutely the spiritual connection. The teamwork," Buhl said.
Deloitte was presenting sponsor, with the U.S. Olympic Committee as host. Other supporters included the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, USO, Fisher House Foundation, AT&T, BP, Budweiser and the Semper Fi Fund.
"Paralympic sport has a tremendously positive impact on individuals with physical disabilities, and the Warrior Games allow us to salute these fine young men and women who have served their countries honorably," Charlie Huebner, chief of paralympics for the U.S. Olympic Committee, said in a press release.
The competition at the U.S. Olympic Training Center and the Air Force Academy included 260 athletes grouped into teams of varying sizes representing the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard, Air Force, Special Operations and British troops.
The Marine Corps fielded a team of 50, including 16 from the San Diego area and six women.
The Chairman's Cup for the top performing team has been jokingly nicknamed the Commandant's Cup because of the Marine winning streak since the inaugural Warrior Games in 2010. But the competition was closer this year than ever.
For the individual pentathlon competition, a Marine took the Ultimate Champion title the previous two years. This time Air Force Capt. Mitchell Kieffer won.
Army started with a strong push for the cup, pulling ahead of the Marines early on and ultimately matching them in gold medals with 83 each. It came down to the swim competition on the last day, but the Marines dominated with 93 medals and a Chairman's Cup score of 100 to Army's 85. Navy and Coast Guard scored 37.18, Air Force 31, and Special Operations Command 21.25, with results weighted according to team size.
Cpl. Breanna Dill, of Oceanside, earned a gold and two silver medals in swimming at her first Warrior Games. She was cut in the head at Camp Pendleton in October and suffered spinal and traumatic brain injuries.

Maria Sharapova was rumored to be skipping Indian Wells yesterday due to her balky right shoulder but, apparently, that was only half true.
The injured Russian will reportedly only be competing in doubles play at the PNB Paribas Open, according to Matt Cronin over at Tennisreporters.net:
Three-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova has decided not to play singles at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells next week, but will play doubles with Elena Vesnina at the March 9-22 event in California, TennisReporters.net has learned.
Even though Sharapova has been practicing daily at the Nick Bollettieri Academy in Florida for the past seven weeks, her surgically repaired right shoulder still gets fatigued after three consecutive days of two out of three set matches and her doctors aren't convinced that it's a good idea to push it in singles during the next two weeks.
But if all goes to plan, the L.A. resident will play singles in Miami at the end of the month. Sharapova underwent surgery last October, and hasn't played since the Canadian Open in early August.
The 21-year-old hasn't played doubles since mid-2005, but does own three career doubles titles, taking 2004 Birmingham with Maria Kirilenko, and 2003 titles in Tokyo and Luxembourg with Tamarine Tanasugarn. She's never played with fellow Russian Vesnina. She's said to be itching to get back into action and thinks that being around the other players – as well as hitting with some of them -- will help ease her transition back on to tour.
The former No. 1's ranking has dropped to No. 23 and she will drop semifinal points at Indian Wells, the same locale where she first re-injured her shoulder last year in the third round against Alona Bondarenko.
It's been a slow go for Shrieka but at least she's getting back. Her camp, though, still has not released a official statement about the situation. Can we expect a new "Weekly Doodle" in our future?
UPDATE: Well, it's not exactly her "Weekly Doodle" but her website is confirming the news...
Maria will be making her comeback from her shoulder injury at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells which begins on March 11th. Maria will not compete in the singles competition, but will compete in the doubles tournament with Elena Vesnina. Maria has never played with Vesnina before and this is Maria's 1st doubles tournament in nearly 4 years.
"I am excited to be playing competitive tennis again," said Maria. "The healing process takes time, and requires things to move more slowly than I would like, but I am taking things one step at a time. I look forward to playing at the BNP Paribas Open, it is definitely one of my favorite tournaments in the world."
"We are very glad that Maria will be competing at the BNP Paribas Open," said tournament director Steve Simon. "It is great to see her healthy and back on the court. The game has missed her and we wish her the best of luck and hope she has a great tournament."
Color me happy!

WASHINGTON – The search for a man trapped in a Landover building after a roof collapse moves into its second day with the use of large cranes and bulldozers.
Mark Brady, spokesman for Prince George's Fire and EMS, says very large cranes have been brought in to go over the rear wall where the ceiling and roof have totally collapsed. Firefighters and engineers will have total access to the area where the worker is believed to be.
The cranes are going to remove the debris, which will allow bulldozers to get into the building.
Montgomery County search and rescue dogs have been in the warehouse on Cabin Point Drive, but still haven't been able to pinpoint where the missing worker is. Marc Bashoor, Prince George's County fire chief, says the rescue could take days.
The unidentified man became trapped Thursday night after a forklift accidentally hit a storage rack. This led to the roof collapse at Recall, a document storage warehouse.

Program Web Site:
Program Brief: English
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded WOCCU
US$60.5 million to expand financial services in Afghanistan for three years. The Rural Finance and Cooperative Development (RUFCOD) program is designed to
increase access to financial services primarily in southern and eastern
Afghanistan through the development and expansion of Islamic Investment and Finance Cooperatives (IIFCS) or credit unions. Achievement of RUFCOD project objectives will
improve the living conditions and livelihoods of cooperative members
and greatly increase economic activities and employment opportunities
in communities served by the program.
The program is also establishing the country's first national association for IIFCs to help them reach more small and medium-scale business owners, farmers and low-income households in underserved rural areas. The association will provide technical assistance and back-office support to the IIFCs as well as perform examinations and supervisory visits to maintain compliance with minimum performance standards. Over the course of the project, the association will develop a safety net consisting of short-term emergency loans to help the IIFCs with liquidity issues should they arise.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) - Alexandria's mayor is pleading for patience after an Arlington County Sheriff's Deputy shot and killed 22- year-old Julian Dawkins.
"It's a numb feeling. I'm just numb. Words can't explain the loss of a son," said Curtis Dawkins as tears rolled down his face. He said his strong faith in God was helping him cope with his son Julian's violent death, and the fact that no charges have yet been filed against the shooter.
"I"m pissed off, but I know there's a higher power," Dawkins said.
His son was a graduate of T.C. Williams High school, and a driver for the PBS Newshour. The young man was shot and killed three doors down from his own Alexandria townhouse home just before 1 a.m. Wednesday. The Medical Examiner has ruled his death a homicide and Alexandria police have identified the shooter, Arlington County Sheriff's Deputy Craig Patterson. Alexandria police say Dawkins was shot following a confrontation with Patterson.
Friends of Julian Dawkins say they never saw Patterson before and they insist he does not live in the neighborhood, as some news outlets reported. The question what Patterson was doing in the neighborhood at 1 a.m. There are reports that he and Dawkins were involved in a game of dice, but today, one of Dawkins' good friends questioned that account.
It may be there Patterson use to live nearby. Police do say that Patterson is a resident of Alexandria.
Julian's friends and family members say Julian often carried a pocket knife folded up in his back pocket. Eric Taylor says he saw Julian on the ground after he'd been shot, but only saw Patterson's weapon which police had secured. Taylor said there was no knife anywhere.
Julian's father did not want to comment on any possible motive.
"I'm not into the story. This was premeditated murder and I believe justice will be served," said Curtis Dawkins.
Alexandria Mayor Bill Euille, who knew Julian and knows his family, told us in a cell phone interview that he's confident police investigators are doing their job.
"I know how people feel. I haven't been there and haven't been able to talk to the Commonwealth's Attorney to ask why charges haven't been filed but I know they're gathering evidence in the investigation," said Mayor Euille.
That's little comfort for Julian Dawkins' family and his many friends.
Alexandria Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Sengel says more evidence must be collected before any charges can be filed.
A decision on that, he says, won't happen until next week.
Patterson is a 17-year employee of the Arlington County Sheriff's Department who has spent most of his career working in the jail. A source high up in the Arlington Sheriff's Department says they are all "stunned" about the shooting. The source says that Patterson is not a "hot head" but a low-key guy who "always has a smile on his face." Patterson was honored with "employee of the quarter" recently and the source says has never had any disciplinary problems.

ODP (Olympic Development Program) - Region I and Beyond
16 comments:
Hello, my child is on the ODP state team for '03 girls. Her teams just came out and I was wondering if the three teams are ranked by playing ability or are mixed up so all teams are equal. Thank you for your time.

MD is tiered with A, B, and C teams for U13. Md has yet to practice so it may not be too friendly for them.

BREAKING: What does this new development mean for the future of ODP and ECNL?
US Soccer just announced a development academy (DA) for girls U14 thru U19 to start in the Fall 2017. Participating teams would be scouted by US Soccer coaches for a pathway to youth WNTs, and NWSL Pro teams.
The program guidelines calls for training at least 4 days a week, and players cannot participate in alternate programs like ODP. So US Soccer and USYSA are going head to head with this new program it seems.
IMHO, I think this is a good thing as scouts can see elite players in their team environment, and take away the perception ODP has to only select most players based on whether they play on a club team also coached by an ODP coach. Maybe the NWSL teams can also field academy teams throughout the year which would help generate additional revenue for them and yet still have elite players exposed to national teams.
Any thoughts on the board on this new development?
- February 24, 2016 at 11:00 AM
DA will have little effect on ODP because so few players will be accepted into DA or reside close enough to DA to make attending training session four days a week a reasonable venture. I contend ODP is a more equitable platform than other ID programs because it is open to anyone, and does not require an invitation and does not exclude certain clubs. I have seen only a few instances where a player made ODP through a suspected club connection. With respect to why PA players played for NJ, they most likely play for NJ club teams. PA had players from other states. A player can cross state lines for ODP depending on state of residence and state of club affiliation.

I'm curious about some of the comments here regarding the ODP selection process, both at the state (MD) and regional levels.
My daughter participated in MD ODP for several years, and although she has now aged out, several of the coaches from her tenure remain. Although she never had the "benefit" of any coaches from her club participating in ODP, she made both the state and regional teams every year she tried out (except for her first year, when she tried out for an older team). Moreover, to my recollection, all of here club teammates who tried out made their respective age group state teams, and several made regional teams as well. On the whole, there girls were not the tallest, fastest, or strongest, but they were generally the most technically skilled and smartest players (in fact, the team drove opponents crazy for years because they didn't "look" like they should beat you, but they usually did!).
I say this not to toot any particular horn but to argue that in our experience with ODP over several years, soccer ability usually triumphed over raw athleticism in team selection. Regional team selection was a bit dicier, but mostly because there are many more viable options competing for spots up at URI, and it can be hard for some players to catch the staff's eye. But even when her teammates missed regional pool, it was usually hard to argue too strenuously with the choices the coaches made.
At the end of the day, the perception of "truth" in such matters as team selection is often in the eye of the beholder, colored often by preconceived notions or even misunderstandings of what "talent" actually is. During my coaching days (non-soccer), I rarely needed more than 30 minutes to whittle a tryout pool to a manageable number of, say, one-and-a-half times the size of the eventual roster. There were occasional second or third day surprises, but probably no more than three or four over fifteen years. As parents, we need to give the ODP coaches some credit for being good at what they do, acknowledging that they might know more than we do.
ODP has some flaws, and to be honest the level of MD ODP training was usually well below what my daughter experienced at her club team practices, but she made some good friends and had great opportunities to play in front of and train with college coaches at the regional and national training camps. Her state coaches encouraged her to try new things and advocated for her at regional camps. She even met her college coach through ODP, and most importantly, she had a great time in the program.
- March 1, 2016 at 5:19 PM
No doubt, ODP (MD) has been a been a very useful avenue for the better players to advance and be recognized in the past.
However, with the advent of ECNL, EDP, Region 1 Champions league, etc the better players and coaches are gravitating to those leagues and no longer even attempting to be involved with MD ODP. Hence MD ODP is now a second or third tier, if you will. Now with the US Soccer girls DA coming next year, this would cause further downplaying of the value in ODP.
Something has to give here, as there are a number of programs now jockeying for the best talent, where a small fraction of these programs are purely commercial ventures where the U12 and U13 groups subsidize the bulk of the profits.
- March 1, 2016 at 8:49 PM
My daughter is on the MD U13 ODP team and I noticed that a majority of the players are from the Baltimore area near the training. The few players from Montgomery County teams that I know play Pre-ECNL, Wags, and CCL. They have had only one practice, so I cannot really comment on the quality of the players/coaches yet. As for now I'm looking at it as extra training that she needs being her club team has just two trainings per week.
- March 2, 2016 at 10:16 AM
That is exactly how you should look at it. Dont worry of how she is being viewed vs the other players - just that the sessions are productive.

Tulsa World: Jenks' Graham commits to Iowa State

Jenks is a great High School to get tied into. They are a suburb of Tulsa and produce a lot of Div 1 athletes.
Wow, nice class coming together.
Kansas wears Adidas.
Bob Graham - College Football Recruiting 2010 - ESPN
His video from ESPN looks pretty decent for a kid his side.
Two quick points. If you have not watched Graham's video, please do. (You will understand why people are so impressed with him.) Second, I hope this gets our foot in the door to potentially recruit Bob's (junior) team mate, linebacker Trent Martin next year. Trent will likely be a four year starter, at linebacker, for Jenks.
Every day this week has brought more news that cements the idea that this staff really knows what they're doing.

Another DL commitment would really sell this idea...
This happened last Saturday
I'll take a Jack & Hilton
Hopefully the rest of this class fills out like the OL & WR/TEs. These look pretty solid.
For those that put video highlights together, do not put a running play from the 1 yard line (or closer) that gets stopped, especially for a lineman. Graham made his block (2 other defenders blew up the play), but there had to be a better clip than that!
Overall, Mr. Graham looked very athletic. Welcome aboard!
There's a confidential link @ cyclonereport that says there's a new commit- how long has it been there?
Thank you to Kagavi & amestoplease for the sweet designs!
I like it!
Now what are we after? Land one or both of the playmaking linebackers? Get a pass rushing DE that can get pressure by himself?
Get another big hoss space eater in the middle of the DL, and maybe add one more cover corner?
Fill those out, and this is looking like a very good recruiting class.

I wanna say its been there a while. Probably referring to Brandon Jensen. Now if we get 4 recruits after a Baylor win, imagine who we can get after a win at Nebraska. I know it wasnt just because we won, the timing just worked that way, but it would be "HUGE Jerry... HUGE!"

The man in charge of doling out 20 billion dollars in BP money met with the governor and State Cabinet Wednesday.
Patrick Juneau took over for former BP Claims Czar Ken Fienberg this summer.
He's in charge of the account BP set up to pay business owners hurt by the 2010 Deep Water Horizon disaster.
Juneau says under his watch the claims process is running more smoothly.
"This whole system was designed to have uniformity in payment of claims. In other words if 10 claimants had the identical, same information, they ought to get the same amount of money," said Juneau.
Cabinet members wanted to know what people can do if they made a claim under the Fienberg regime and feel they were ripped off.
Juneau says their only recourse is to go court.

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887 - 1920).
December 22nd would have been the 127th birthday of the legendary Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. His story really is remarkable. Born in 1887 in a small village around 400km from Madras (now Chennai), Ramanujan developed a passion for maths very early on. By age 15 he routinely solved maths problems that went way beyond what his classmates were dealing with. He worked out his own method for solving quartic equations, for example, and even had a go at quintic ones (and failed of course, since the general quintic is unsolvable). But since he neglected all other subjects apart from maths, Ramanujan never got into university, and was forced to continue studying maths alone and in poverty. Only after a plea to an eminent mathematician, who described Ramanujan as "A short uncouth figure, stout, unshaven, not over clean," did Ramanujan eventually get a job as a clerk at the Madras Port Trust.
It was during his time at the Port Trust that Ramanujan decided to write a letter that was to change his life. It was addressed to the famous Cambridge number theorist G. H. Hardy who, accustomed to this early-twentieth-century form of spam, was irritated at first: a letter from an unknown Indian containing crazy-looking theorems and no proofs at all. But as he went about his day, Hardy couldn't quite forget about the script:
At the back of his mind [...] the Indian manuscript nagged away. Wild theorems. Theorems such as he had never seen before, nor imagined. A fraud of genius? A question was forming itself in his mind. As it was Hardy's mind, the question was forming itself with epigrammatic clarity: is a fraud of genius more probable than an unknown mathematician of genius? Clearly the answer was no. Back in his rooms in Trinity, he had another look at the script. He sent word to Littlewood that they must have a discussion after hall...
Apparently it did not take them long. Before midnight they knew, and knew for certain. The writer of these manuscripts was a man of genius.
From the foreword by C. P. Snow to Hardy's A Mathematician's Apology
Hardy invited Ramanujan to Cambridge, and on March 17, 1914 Ramanujan set sail for England to start one of the most fascinating collaborations in the history of maths. Right from the start the pair produced important results and Ramanujan made up for the gaps in his formal maths education by taking a degree in Cambridge. Perhaps the most famous story to emerge from this period has Hardy visiting Ramanujan as he lay ill in bed. Hardy complained that the number of the taxi he had arrived in, 1729, was a boring number, and that he worried this was a bad omen. "No," Ramanujan replied, apparently without hesitation. "It is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways":
Unfortunately, Ramanujan's sickness wasn't a one-off. His health had always been feeble, and the cold weather and unaccustomed English food didn't help. Ramanujan decided to return to India in 1919 and died the following year, aged only 33. He is still celebrated as one of India's greatest mathematicians.

Still looking for a special present for a special person? Then what about a Gömböc: this strange egg-like shape wriggles around with an apparent will of its own and, even better, barely exists at all.
A Gömböc is a 3D convex shape with one stable and one unstable equilibrium point. The reason it wriggles around when you put it down is that it's "trying to" rest on its stable equilibrium point, and since there's only one of them it takes a little dance to find it. for other objects this doesn't happen because they have more stable equilibrium points, so all they need to do to find one when you put them down in an unstable position is fall over. If you change a Gömböc even only a tiny bit, you'll create extra equilibrium points or stop it from being convex, so you'll stop it from being a Gömböc. This is why Gömböcs teeter on the brink of existence — the smallest change and they're gone.
For a very long time people believed that Gömböcs didn't exist, but recently the Hungarian mathematicians Gábor Domokos and Péter Várkonyi proved that they did (find out more here). You can purchase your very own Gömböc on the Gömböc website (though be warned, it's a little pricey!).

If you're feeling a bit weary in the run up to Christmas (I know we are!) we thought you might like to put your feet up and have a cup of tea instead of whatever it is you are working on. You can relax because every thing you've ever produced or will produce is already encoded in a number known as Champernowne's constant, consisting of every positive whole number listed after the decimal point:
This is because this number is normal, which implies it contains a copy of every finite string of numbers in its infinite decimal expansion. This includes every article we have ever written or will write, every song anyone's composed, every film shot, every report written and every spreadsheet created, translated into numerical form (as it would be when stored on a computer). Lots of more famous numbers, such as , e and are also thought to be normal. In fact although mathematicians know almost every number is normal, they have only been able to prove this is true for a handful.
Unfortunately for you, and for us as we try to finish a few more articles before Christmas, even though all the work we will ever write is already present in the digits of Champernowne's number, we aren't going to be able to head to the pub just yet. Our articles and everyone else's work are swamped by every other possible string of numbers and we're going to have to produce them the hard way after all.
The idea is beautifully explored by the Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges in his short story "The Library of Babel" (published in the anthology Fiocciones). His library contains every book that is possible to write in a given alphabet, shelved in a seemingly endless complex of connected identical rooms (it looks a bit like the strange book filled place Matthew McConaughey found himself in towards the end of the Interstellar). The librarians were initially overjoyed to discover that the library contained every possible book. But their joy soon turned to despair when they realised that virtually all the books in the library would be nonsensical, the pages randomly filled with letters. They would spend their lives journeying through the endless identical rooms in a quest to find meaning among the books, knowing they were almost certain never to find it.
Borges' writings are full of such inventive and poetic explorations of philosophical and moral ideas. We came across this beautiful story when writing about normality and randomness for our book Numericon, and ended up devouring the rest of Fiocciones and have since gone on to read many others. You can also read more about the maths behind this story in The amazing librarian on Plus.

No collection of popular maths books would be complete without a work by one of our very favourite authors, Ian Stewart. One we particularly like is 17 equations that changed the world. As the name suggests, it's about equations that have had a profound impact on humankind, from Pythagoras's theorem about right-angled triangles to the Black-Scholes equation about financial derivatives. It's a fascinating and accessible tour through some very interesting maths.
Stewart has written plenty of popular maths books, which are all well worth looking at, but there's another one we'd like to mention: Does god play dice is a great introduction to mathematical chaos, which inspired one of us to go and do a PhD in maths — she's never looked back!

How about whiling away your time on a planet that's made entirely of beaches and where it's always Saturday afternoon? If that sounds good, then you better get your hands on the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, the indispensable companion of intergalactic travellers. We revisited Douglas Adam's cult trilogy in five parts when we were writing our book (Numericon) and sill loved it as much as when we read it for the first time.
If you're not familiar with this classic, it starts with the Earth being demolished to make way for an intergalactic superhighway and the only two survivors hitching a ride on a passing spacecraft to embark on a journey that holds surprises way more bizarre, and menacing, than Saturday afternoon planets. If you are one of the many people who do know the Hitchhiker's guide then consider rereading it. It's fun!

The audio files below consist of the following: a blend of kick and overheads for each of the BDM01, the D112 and the D25 with the Yamaha kick drum (files 01-03, respectively). Then, leaving the D25 in place, I moved the BDM01 to the centre-of-kit position (04), and then to the snare (05). There are clips of the BDM01 on the Ludwig drum, both solo'd (06) and with overheads (07-08), and then isolated close-mic examples for the same drum using the D112, D25 and BDM01 (files 09-11, respectively). Finally, I've included a short sample from the bass (12). All these files were tracked using API 312 preamps to Pro Tools, via an SSL converter. There's no equalisation or compression, but I have removed unused headroom and converted the files from 24 bit to 16 bit.

Cutter MTB Saddle Pack - Men's $0.00
Outfit your dirt machine with the Cutter MTB Saddle Pack, and gleefully rip your local trails a new one. The saddle's super-durable, Kevlar-reinforced side panels resist abrasion from your gnarly bails, and the lightweight titanium alloy rails won't drag your bike like a boat anchor. Also included is a set of low-profile, locking Cutter grips with a tacky dual-density rubber, because what good is a saddle if you can't hang on?

The best deal on Backcountry.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I just ordered these last week because I was in desparate need of a seat because my girlfriend drove into a parking garage with my bike on top. I saw the price and I was sold! The grips work very well and the seat is not the most comfortable seat in the world but you really cannot beat this deal.
Great, Comfortable and Cheap
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased this Cutter saddle/grip combo despite having some reservations about the quality. Picked them up from the warehouse by my house and thought at that price, it wouldn't hurt to give them a try. I got the black/red set which look pretty cool on my black/grey/red bike.
Both were pretty easy to install, and took about 10-15 mins. The saddle was a little rough on my first ride, but then I broke it in and rather enjoy it now! The grip is excellent, even if my hands get sweaty and don't feel like I have to use too much strength to hold on to.
Great Deal!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
As the previous poster says you just can't beat this deal for the price. Bought as a replacement for my (circa '98) GT Palomar. After purchasing my Kona Hei Hei DL I just wanted to make some inexpensive upgrades to the GT so I could have a 2nd bike. Replaced the cranket (<$30) and bought this seat/grips ($15) to replace the stock seat/grips after replacing a broken twist shifter ($12). Cut the fins off the grips so as not to interfere with the shifters. The results are incredible. I've used both on the road as well as MTB and this seat delivers.
A stellar deal worth repeating
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
At $80 this would be an okay package interesting mostly for the color coordination, but at $16 it's an absolute steal. The grips aren't very cushy but they hold on and hold up well. Saddle choice is very personal, but this one fits my bum better than the one that came on my $2500 cyclocross. I have two sets now and might get a third just for the saddle. Thumbs (& bums) up!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought two these to replace saddles on a MTB and Cyclocross bike and replace grips on two MTB's. While the MTB grips are a bit annoying becuase of the fin on the inside end of the grip, they work well and the locking pieces work well. I eventually had to cut the fins off with an exacto knife! It might affect durability, but we'll see.
The saddles are comfortable for most rides, even forest road or shorter road rides if you need them for that. Just make sure you are wearing good shorts if you'll be on the seat for more than 30 miles. The sides don't rub on my legs and it looks good on the bike. All in all, it's an awesome deal if you can take the small tradeoffs!
Awesome for the price...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this saddle/grip combo based on reviews here and others I've seen for my Trek 3900, and I've enjoyed it so far. I went on a ride for a few miles and not only was the seat really comfortable and sturdy, but the grips also allowed good handling on the road and stay dry. And for the price, you can't really go wrong.
This was my first purchase from Backcountry, but I'll definitely be coming back. Good prices and knowledgeable/helpful staff!
Insane Value
At the currently sale price of $12 this is a no-brainer. I didn't even need grips so I haven't used those, but they feel great. A nice medium thickness and softness that should be pretty comfy for most hands. The saddle is what I was after. It's a bit longer than average which makes it look kind of funny, but it's a respectable weight (considering the dirt cheap price) and is actually super comfy. I generally ride 10-20 miles at a time on single track and haven't run into any comfort issues with this seat. Can't comment on longevity yet, but for the price if I get half a season out of it I'll be happy. Although it seems plenty burly to last as long as the average saddle. In short, if you're considering this and have any need for a saddle OR grips then get it! It's a crazy deal, and you or a friend are likely to need the other part of the package eventually if not right now.
Well it looks like the price is up to $25, but I still vote these as a worthwhile investment! My buddy borrowed my bike for 5 minutes last week and instantly decided to buy one to replace his WTB saddle.
Update: Used this saddle for a full season and am now entering my second season. Still happy with it, and looks like they're currently $16 with the grips too! There's probably nicer saddles out there... but for $16 what do you have to lose? I gave it a shot, and ended up calling off the search for a nicer saddle as I am completely happy with mine.

Tuesday Afternoon News, Sept 11
Farmers and Fire Officials Battle Field Fire
(Le Mars) -- Farmers and fire officials alike were battling the strong winds this afternoon when a soybean field caught fire. Le Mars and Merrill fire and rescue units responded to the scene located near the intersection of County Roads K-42 and C-16, or about three miles north of Brunsville. The call came in at about 2:30 p.m. and within a half hour, fire officials were fortunate to have contained the fire. Farmers from the area assisted fire officials by providing a bobcat skid loader and two large tractors pulling tandem disks to help smother the flames. Approximately six acres of soybeans were lost to the fire. It is not known how the fire started. No farm equipment was lost as a result of the fire.
Secondary Road Employees Present Contract Requests
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Board of Supervisors heard the contract requests from the Plymouth County Secondary Road Employee Association during their regular meeting this morning. Curt Sitzmann was representing the employee association, and he spelled out the various requests.
Listen to
The other requests was to have a four hour minimum for on-call pay during the time when snow and ice was to be cleared, and a two hour minimum for any other on-calls. The county road employees were asking for an increase of pay from forty cents an hour to a dollar an hour pay increase when performing duties while on-call.
County Road Construction Projects Nearing Completion

Judge Asked To Consolidate Lawsuits Against Iowa Gaming Commission
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission wants a judge to consolidate two lawsuits filed against it by the owner of Sioux City's riverboat casino.
Penn National Gaming Co. has gone to court to overturn the board's decisions that put the gambling license up for bid for a land-based casino in Woodbury County and rejected a contract
extension with its nonprofit partner to 2015.
Penn National claims the commission's actions were unconstitutional and beyond its authority.
The commission filed a motion on Monday in Polk County District Court asking that the cases be held at the same. The board argues that consolidation would promote "judicial economy" by eliminating the need to address the same or similar issues in two separate actions.

Costs of Attendance
Cost of Attendance budgets are based on a two-semester academic year. With the exception of the first-year dual JD program, summer classes are optional. A separate summer application for summer school aid is available in February each year for the immediately subsequent summer.
Costs of Attendance are listed here by program and are broken down between first year and upper class as appropriate. Students in the US/Canadian dual-degree program are reminded that Costs of Attendance listed here reflect only the Detroit Mercy costs. Costs of Attendance for study abroad programs are based on the costs determined by the host school. All Cost of Attendance budgets should be viewed as a guide to assist students to prepare their own budgets based upon personal needs.
Cost of Attendance budgets are based upon a moderate standard of living in the Detroit metropolitan area, and include all regular costs associated with the student's attendance at the law school without parental or other outside assistance. Books and supplies estimates are based upon the cost of purchasing all books. There are more opportunities to rent books than in the past, which can save students significant amounts of money. First-year student books for most classes are used for the full year, which means that those students may also be able to save on books and supplies even if they have to purchase books at full price. All students may save money on supplies such as paper, pens and notebooks by purchasing these at back-to-school sales at local discount or drug stores.
Students who have savings, income from work or support from family, friends or outside agencies should consider those resources before borrowing the maximum loans available. We encourage students to borrow only what they need. Loans can be increased if a student borrows less than their budgeted amount at the beginning of an academic year and needs an increase later in the year. Unused portions of loans may also be returned to the lender to avoid the accrual of interest and the possibility of overspending.
