Two Citrus County residents have applied for seats on the Florida Public Service Commission.
James S. Baumstark of Crystal River and Timothy C. Altenau of Beverly Hills are among 24 applicants for two seats on the five-member board.
The list includes current commission chairman Ronald A. Brise and current commissioner Arthur L. Graham, whose terms are set to expire at the end of the year.
Baumstark has been through the process before and recalled being a candidate in 2010. He made the short list of seven candidates for two open seats that was sent by the PSC nominating committee to then-Gov. Charlie Crist, but he was not selected.
Wednesday, he said the same people who had urged him to apply in 2010 had encouraged him again.
"I have unique qualifications that seem to fit well," he said. "I am very familiar with the T and D (transmission and distribution) side and have a set of capabilities that would work very well on the PSC."
He is retired naval officer with 28 years of experience in nuclear submarines. After the Navy, Baumstark spent 22 years in the utility industry, in which he is still involved.
He retired from Consolidated Edison of New York as vice president of central engineering. Prior to that he was director of engineering at the Crystal River nuclear plant.
He is currently chairman of the International Utility Working Group, a consortium of nine utilities from major urban areas of the world, working on new methods in power transmission and distribution.
"If I get the opportunity, I feel I will be able to offer them a lot," he said. "I will give it my best shot."
According to his application, Altenau is an attorney and nuclear engineer at the Crystal River nuclear plant. He declined comment.
The screening process by the nominating committee is expected to begin in July.

I have the same model and have had nothing but problems!! I am constantly having to take off the control panel and clean the connections for it to work at all. I have to do this about once a month. I moved and it just completely quit working about a year after I bought it and they replaced the control panel but I still have to take it off and clean it with qtips and alcohol all the time. I am now getting a musty smell in it and was told I could take out and clean the pump filter to get rid of the smell but I don't know where the pump filter is. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The only problem was that the leg had been pushed in too far so that when it did it's spin dry part of the cycle, it would transfer it's weight back and forth.

Skip to comments.Yet another Elysium review: It IS political, and it stinks.
Posted on 08/12/2013 5:56:37 AM PDT by jdsteel
After reading some positive FR reviews I decided to give the movie a try. Yes, the movie is blatantly political. The plot revolves around a mishmash of liberal lunacy about healthcare and immigration. But the worst thing I can say is the movie stinks. Damon's acting is weak. The plot has huge holes in it. The characters are one dimensional. The big fight scene at the end looks like a bad imitation of a WWE fight. Worst of all, the futuristic scenario is not written in a way that has any logic of its own. Sure, I could believe that there is a machine that cures peoples illnesses and the rich folks all have one in their home but there was no good reason given why they didn't have any on earth. It's one thing to believe a factory computer is smart enough to figure out that Damon is stuck in a room that has deadly radiation but another thing to believe it is too dumb to do anything about it other than ring warning bells, or that Damon couldn't have just blocked the door open in the first place. It's one thing to believe that a central computer can control many aspects of Elysium but it is another to believe that the politicians there are stupid enough to have the computer be able to control who is in charge.
Other than True Grit and the Informant....I don't think Damon can act. Those are the only two movies that I thought he did a good job, but if you ask me....he just plays Matt Damon the character....of each movie.
My 40 year old son went to see the movie. His review - save your $10.
Most of the Hollywood so called A-listers have no talent anyway. They have a luck with talented actors in supporting roles,good script writers and good story.
I saw The Conjuring this weekend. It wasn't bad as far as horror movies go. It was filmed in the 1970's and I kind of thought the camera's they used seemed 1970ish, which added on to the creepiness.
It seemed sort of like an old fashioned movie because it had little or no swearing, nudity, or excessive violence that I can remember. On it, priests were good, and baby killing witches were bad.
Me and a friend would love to make a movie like this except the people on the station are all conservatives and the people down on earth are all liberals.
The planet would quickly go to hell while everything on the station would run like a well oiled machine.
The planet would quickly go to hell while everything on the station would run like a well oiled machine.
Until somebody mentions Abe Lincoln in the station break room.
Conjuring is really good and one of the top box officer earners based on expenses alone. Embarrassingly, the script was actually pitched to us here in L.A. but we passed. I think it was the third draft and we thought it needed more polish.
If Jodie Foster stated it's political, why should I watch it? I'd rather watch Pacific Rim and don't listen to the idiot critics, it's an entertaining popcorn movie that doesn't inject politics in it. Just robots fighting monsters.
I beklieve I read an article the other day that said people were not flocking to this movie.
The film takes place on both a ravaged Earth and a luxurious space habitat called Elysium. It explores political and sociological themes such as immigration, health care and class issues. When asked whether the film reveals how he sees Earth turning out in 140 years, director Blomkamp responded "No, no, no. This isn't science fiction. This is today. This is now."
I saw it just for the action and visuals. The plot is schlock, but whoever designed the visuals on the station was visionary. Wait for it to come out on the cable channels and watch it with the sound off.
As for other movies, I saw the second Percy Jackson film. Though it is about Greek mythology, it had a more believable plot than Elysium.
It's perfectly logical. Rich people are mean. They got rich by being mean. They just want to deny the poor.
</liberal logic>
Visionary ?? Pal, google "Gerald K. O'Neill" and "L-5".
That's a Stanford Torus-type space habitat, and the original design was late 1960s - early 1970s. . .
On the other hand, there's We're the Millers...it's raunchy, crude, oblivious to political and cultural correctness...and hilarious. It's plot actually makes more sense than what happened to the storyline in Eliseum.
I call it visionary because few movies up to now have shown it. I am more preferential to the orbital cylinders (called Sides or Plants)of the Gundam Series.
Those are also a design from the '70s. The remake of Lockout with Guy Pearce also had good space visuals of a potential near-future station.
The interesting part of the Elysium colony is the open side. Even if you spin the colony sufficiently to produce ground-level acceleration to simulate gravity, the size of the colony is not large enough to produce the proper breathable air density at ground level. They must leak tons of atmosphere every day.
There was a first?
I have heard that this so-called corporation in the film could not care less about maximizing profits and shareholder value. Sounds more like a government agency.
It was filmed in the 70's? Or it was set in the 70's?
Is Pacific Rim just like Battleship but with robots?
Another Hollywood stolen plot.
The Cloud Minders — Star Trek: Season 3, Episode 21
Kirk and Spock are caught up in a revolution on a planet where intellectuals and artists live on a utopian city in the sky while the rest of the population toils in mines on the barren surface below.
I bet the special effects can be good. I saw ads for the Tom Cruise movie... whatsitcalled? His home in the sky they didn't use a normal blue/green screen but actual HD projections for the scenes outside.
Otherwise the ads made the movie seem like Wall-E as a human. lol
If you like Greek mythology, then is a decent series as far as young adult fiction. The author (Riordan) is trying to re-popularize the myths. It is infinitely better for young adults (like my nieces) to read than Twilight, which should be banned worldwide.
It is also the major plot of the anime and manga series Battle Angel Alita.
And Astroboy. Rich in the clouds and poor scrounging on Earth has been overplayed for years now.
You're talking entertainment. I'm talking REAL-WORLD designs. . . to actually BUILD these. . . . .
Better. I don't know why people hate Battleship but I liked it. The only lame ass acting was from Rihanna but the rest is OK.
But your judgement is in question, didn't you like Sharknado? :p
LOL, I said I'm biased towards Sharknado as I personally know people at Asylum. Believe it or not, they already made a first draft for "World War V". Guess which film it sounds like...
did they also do the Battle in Los Angeles or whatever it was called, rip off ?
Umm, yeah LOL. They gave me that DVD so I'm not gonna diss them. I still remember my brother from out of state who visited me at work and my nephew saw that DVD, and one of them said "cool! The Battle of L.A. just came out on theaters and you have it on DVD?". My reply was "ummm, not that Battle of Los Angeles, but more comedic.."
They didn't show a lot of LA in that particular movie. A much smaller group of "soldiers" too
I wasn't a great fan, but that movie certainly wasn't simplistically propagandistic.
I figured that Blomkamp, a White South African, would probably have a more complicated, nuanced take on politics.
The movie did you a favor. If the film showed the entire L.A. area, you would be scared sh*tless and avoid coming here in real life.
Real world would have to have a full closed ring for a station of that size to hold atmosphere. At least Larry Niven, being an engineer himself, knew that the Ringworld had to have sides miles high to keep in the atmosphere.
Exactly. YOU are talking fictional designs. **I** am talking actual, if rough, designs for actual stations / colonies. . .
You'd think that Jews would vote Republican, too. Sometimes the only answer is "liberalism is a mental disease".
Sometimes the only answer is "liberalism is a mental disease".
Agreed. In my experience most liberals not only lack reasoning skills but have a complete lack of common sense, and they confuse their education for intelligence. And then so many liberals are so overwhelmed by hysteria that I really wonder whether they are emotionally disturbed or unbalanced if not outright suffering from some mental disease.
I saw it last Saturday. I walked out thinking, "That should have been called 'Idiocracy: The Prequel.'"
The one-percenters leave the entire planet to billions of people"Here! You can have it! We're leaving! We're just taking our stuff with us!"and they can't figure out what to do with it.
No, the rest of humanity can't figure it out for themselves, so they have to go on slim-to-no-chance rocket rides to break into the Haves' tiny ring-world to cure them of whatever ails them.
I loved Matt and his boss at the factory:
Boss: "Aaay! I can't let ya woik widda busted arm like dat! Off da line!"
Matt: "Aw, c'mon, mang! I gots a cast! I can work! Nooo problem!"
Matt: "Aw, boss! Da door won't close, mang! Tryin' ta reset it!"
Boss: "We're behind schedule! Get in dere and figzit or I'll find someones WHO WILL!"
Classic. One minute, the boss is looking out for Matt's welfare, but Matt says he's tough. The next, boss is practically ordering him to his death (busted arm and all) and Matt just shrugs his shoulders and goes to his doom.
And really? No other place on earth has those magic gizmos standing by in case one of the elite who are slummin' it on Earth gets an owie and 19 minutes is too long a ride? Right.
Idiocracy: The Prequel!
August 18 weekend update from Box Office Mojo: "Elysium [which cost $115 million to make] narrowly took third place ahead of Planes and Kick-Ass 2. The Matt Damon sci-fi flick fell 54 percent to $13.7 million, and through 10 days has earned $56 million. It currently trails District 9 by around $17 million, and officially has no chance of reaching $100 million."
So, some rich people build themselves a nice place to live in space, keep the scumbags out, and, for some reason, the scumbags are supposed to be in the right for shooting their way in?
Yeah. Pay attention. There are lots of people who really think this way. Some of 'em are making Federal policy.
"Pacific Rim" was awesome. Did you or your company have anything to do with it?
"Pacific Rim was awesome. Did you or your company have anything to do with it?"
100% :) (to avoid the trolls, let's leave it at that)
SyFy could probably save some money if they produce a show in South Korea, those crazy fools make 2 episodes a week working like dogs. They take their drama seriously.
It could be about a single US agent (Bruce Campbell?) and a team of South Korean agents (shouldn't be too hard to find some who speak English,like Han Ye-Seul) trying to track down a cell of North Korean agents who had a radical American (possibly Chinese-American) Marxist working for them.
We'd need a K-pop cameo, of course, I'm thinking a naive member of a girl band was used as a patsy who would get blamed for "helping" terrorists. (Amber Lui of F(X) who is Chinese-American might be perfect for that)

When Embalming is Beautiful
Death sits in paradox. In it we find impossible co-mixtures of intrinsic opposites. Perhaps, this is why death is the muse of so many philosophers and theologians. For example, in death we find the cohabitation of utter darkness and blinding light. The darkness of separation, of grief, of powerlessness; and yet the light of community, of togetherness and the power of love.

BERLIN Bayer Leverkusen's 2-1 Bundesliga win over Hoffenheim last week helped by a phantom goal will not be replayed despite the ball going in through a hole in the netting, Germany's sports court said on Monday.
In a decision which the court admitted may not be satisfactory to fans, the Hoffenheim appeal was rejected because there was at no point a violation of the rules by the referee.
Leverkusen striker Stefan Kiessling's 70th-minute header flew just wide of the post and hit the side netting but went through a hole and ended up in the goal.
Referee Felix Brych awarded a goal after consulting his assistants, putting Leverkusen 2-0 ahead at the time and triggering an outcry over the blatant mistake and the need for goalline technology in Germany, a tool already in use in other domestic and international competitions.
"The decision may be unsatisfactory from a sporting point of view but it is according to the rules and laws," judge Hans Lorenz, who heads the German football association's (DFB) sports court told reporters in Frankfurt.
"Referee Felix Brych took an incontestable factual decision. The claim that he broke rules was dropped by Hoffenheim even during the process."
Lorenz, who said goalline technology could have been a help in this case as it has for ice hockey, said mistakes did happen but there was no violation of rules.
"The factual decision may have been wrong but it was irrefutable. Wrong factual decisions are part of the system."
Lorenz had earlier heard testimony from Brych and Kiessling as well as the assistants and two Hoffenheim groundsmen. He had also greeted last season's Bundesliga top scorer with a humorous comment.
"Finally you get a call-up from the DFB," Lorenz had told Kiessling, who has been consistently overlooked by Germany coach Joachim Loew despite superb performances for Leverkusen in the past few seasons.
Kiessling had been accused by fans of seeing the ball go in from the side and not telling the referee, a claim which the striker vehemently denied.
"I said exactly how things happened and what I had told referee Bruch at the time," Kiessling told reporters. "I am now just happy to focus back on my football."
Hoffenheim have the right to appeal court's decision within one week.
"We are disappointed with the verdict," said Alexander Rosen, Hoffenheim's sports director. "We will now carefully examine it and take a decision based on that." (Reporting by Karolos Grohmann, editing by Ed Osmond and Pritha Sarkar)

Local automorphism invariance: Gauge boson mass without a Higgs particle35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530532View Description Hide Description
The consequences of the assumption of invariance of a spinor theory under local automorphism transformations of the Clifford algebra basis elements are explored. This invariance is equivalent to allowing the orthonormal basis spinors of the spinor space to be chosen arbitrarily at each point in space–time and is analogous to the situation in general relativity where the orthonormal basis vectors of the tangent space are allowed to be chosen arbitrarily at each point in space–time. This invariance then dictates that the Clifford algebra generators be functions of space–time and is implemented by introducing new fields, the drehbeins (''spin legs''), which are somewhat akin to the vielbeins introduced in general relativity to invoke the concept of local Lorentz invariance. However, in contrast to general relativity, the covariant derivatives of the Clifford algebra generators do not vanish. The dynamical variables of the theory are then the spinors, the gauge fields of the automorphism group, and the drehbeins. The invariant Lagrangian density and the concomitant field equations for this theory are discussed. Interestingly, the ''kinetic'' Lagrangian density term for the drehbein fields induces a gauge invariant mass term for the gauge fields. This constitutes a new mass generation mechanism, of different character and complementary to the familiar Higgs mechanism. Although the idea of local automorphism invariance is a natural generalization of the principle of equivalence, herein attention is restricted to the case of nondynamic flat space–time.
Levinson's theorem, zero‐energy resonances, and time delay in one‐dimensional scattering systems35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530481View Description Hide Description
The one‐dimensional Levinson's theorem is derived and used to study zero‐energy resonances in a double‐potential system. The low energy behavior of time delay is also investigated. In particular, it is shown that the quantum mechanical time delay admits a classical lower bound, in the low energy limit, if the potential has no bound‐state solutions.
Schwinger–Dyson Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin symmetry and the Batalin–Vilkovisky Lagrangian quantization of gauge theories with open or reducible gauge algebras35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530482View Description Hide Description
In this short paper we extend the results of Alfaro and Damgaard on the origin of antifields to theories with a gauge algebra that is open or reducible.
A soluble model for scattering and decay in quaternionic quantum mechanics. I. Decay35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530483View Description Hide Description
The Lee–Friedrichs model has been very useful in the study of decay‐scattering systems in the framework of complex quantum mechanics. Since it is exactly soluble, the analytic structure of the amplitudes can be explicitly studied. It is shown in this article that a similar model, which is also exactly soluble, can be constructed in quaternionic quantum mechanics. The problem of the decay of an unstable system is treated here. The use of the Laplace transform, involving quaternion‐valued analytic functions of a variable with values in a complex subalgebra of the quaternion algebra, makes the analytic properties of the solution apparent; some analysis is given of the dominating structure in the analytic continuation to the lower half plane. A study of the corresponding scattering system will be given in a succeeding article.
A soluble model for scattering and decay in quaternionic quantum mechanics. II. Scattering35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530484View Description Hide Description
In a previous article, it was shown that a soluble model can be constructed for the the description of a decaying system in analogy to the Lee–Friedrichs model of complex quantum theory. It is shown here that this model also provides a solublescattering theory, and therefore constitutes a model for a decay‐scattering system. Generalized second resolvent equations are obtained for quaternionic scattering theory. It is shown explicitly for this model, in accordance with a general theorem of Adler, that the scattering matrix is complex subalgebra valued. It is also shown that the method of Adler, using an effective optical potential in the complex sector to describe the effect of the quaternionic interactions, is equivalent to the general method of Green's functions described here.
(2+1)‐dimensional models of relativistic particles with curvature and torsion35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530485View Description Hide Description
(2+1)‐dimensional models of relativistic particles with the action depending arbitrarily on the world‐trajectory curvature and torsion are investigated. A special class of models, described by the action with a maximal symmetry allowing only spin internal degrees of freedom, is singled out. A classical analysis of the systems from this special class is carried out, and the quantization procedure for them is described. Within this class, tachyon‐free models are pointed out and the systems having classical and quantum spectra with only massive spin states (whose number in the quantum case may be both finite and infinite) are considered as concrete examples of such models.
Parastatistics as Lie‐supertriple systems35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530486View Description Hide Description
Parastatistics are reformulated herein in terms of Lie‐supertriple systems. In this way, various new kinds of parastatistics discovered recently by Palev in addition to the standard one are reproduced. Also, bosonic and fermionic operators may not necessarily commute with each other.
q‐deformed relativistic wave equations35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530487View Description Hide Description
Based on the representation theory of the q‐deformed Lorentz and Poincaré symmetries q‐deformed relativistic wave equation are constructed. The most important cases of the Dirac, Proca, Rarita–Schwinger, and Maxwell equations are treated explicitly. The q‐deformed wave operators look structurally like the undeformed ones but they consist of the generators of a noncommutative Minkowski space. The existence of the q‐deformed wave equations together with previous results on the representation theory of the q‐deformed Poincaré symmetry solve the q‐deformed relativistic one particle problem.
Topological aspects of SU(2) Weyl fermion and global anomaly35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530488View Description Hide Description
It is argued here that the global anomaly of SU(2) Weyl fermions is related to the residual topological properties of massive Dirac fermions leading to the topological index corresponding to the fermion number. As in the case of the chiral anomaly with Dirac fermions, the SU(2) anomaly with a Weyl fermion vanishes when the effect of this topological property is taken into account in the Lagrangian formulation.
Representations of commutation relations in BRST quantization35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530489View Description Hide Description
It is shown that the asymptotic state space in the BRST quantization is a Krein space. The equivalence of the representations, which are realized by the asymptotic fields in such spaces, is proved.
Study on the one dimensional boson–fermion model35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530490View Description Hide Description
The one dimensional boson–fermion model is introduced and the general eigenstates of the model Hamiltonian are constructed. The Cooper‐pairlike bound state is given. It is concluded that the present model is exactly soluble via the Bethe ansatz.
Symmetry scattering for SU(2,2) with applications35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530491View Description Hide Description
In the framework of symmetry scattering, SU(2,2)‐invariant differential equations on the homogeneous space X=SU(2,2)/S(U(2)⊗U(2)) are studied. The radial Schrödinger equation for a family of one or two dimensional potentials or for two particles arise. From the asymptotic behavior of the solutions exact partial wave scattering amplitudes are derived.
Hamiltonian formalism for nonlocal Lagrangians35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530492View Description Hide Description
A Hamiltonian formalism is set up for nonlocal Lagrangian systems. The method is based on obtaining an equivalent singular first order Lagrangian, which is processed according to the standard Legendre transformation and then, the resulting Hamiltonian formalism is pulled back onto the phase space defined by the corresponding constraints. Finally, the standard results for local Lagrangians of any order are obtained as a particular case.
Jump conditions for a radiating relativistic gas35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530869View Description Hide Description
Analytical solutions of the Rankine–Hugoniot conditions for a radiating gas are presented both for shocks and subshocks. The case of Synge gas is studied in detail. In order to study subshocks, radiation is described by the moment equations closed with a variable Eddington factor.
Two‐dimensional integrable systems and self‐dual Yang–Mills equations35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530493View Description Hide Description
The relation between two‐dimensional integrable systems and four‐dimensional self‐dual Yang–Mills equations is considered. Within the twistor description and the zero‐curvature representation a method is given to associate self‐dual Yang–Mills connections with integrable systems of the Korteweg–de Vries and nonlinear Schrödinger type or principal chiral models. Examples of self‐dual connections are constructed that as points in the moduli do not have two independent conformal symmetries.
Two classes of dynamical systems all of whose bounded trajectories are closed35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530494View Description Hide Description
According to the Bertrand theorem, the Kepler problem and the harmonic oscillator are the only central force dynamical systems that have closed orbits for all bounded motions. In this article, other dynamical systems having such a closed orbit property are found on T*(R 3−{0}). Consider a natural dynamical system on T*(R 4−{0}) whose Hamiltonian function is composed of kinetic and potential energies, and invariant under a SO(2) action. Then one can reduce the system to a Hamiltonian system on T*(R 3−{0}) by the use of the Kustaanheimo–Stiefel transformation. If the original potential on R 4−{0} is a central one, Bertrand's method is applicable to the reduced system for determining the potential so that any bounded motions may be periodic. As a result, two types of potential functions will be found; one is linear in the radial variable and the other proportional to the inverse square root of that. The dynamical systems obtained are capable of physical interpretation. In particular, the dynamical system with the inverse square root potential may be called the twofold Kepler system, whose bounded trajectories have a self‐intersection point.
Caustics in 1+1 integrable systems35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530495View Description Hide Description
Caustics arising in the asymptotic description of rapidly decaying solutions of the equations integrable via the inverse scattering transform are defined. Different asymptotic approaches to the description are considered. The appearance of members (Ρ n 2) of the hierarchy of the second Painlevé equation as special functions of wave catastrophies is discussed. The ''adjoining'' problem Ρ n 2 → Ρ k 2(n≳k) for the simplest example Ρ2 2 → Ρ2 is considered in detail.
Asymptotics of the multipositon–soliton τ function of the Korteweg–de Vries equation and the supertransparency35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530496View Description Hide Description
The asymptotics of the τ function generating the N‐positon–M‐soliton solution of the Korteweg–de Vries equation is calculated. This allows to prove that solitons do not experience any phase shift in a collision with positons. The positons themselves survive mutual collisions unchanged. This phenomenon is called the supertransparency or super‐reflectionless property of the multipositon solutions. The linear aspects of this phenomenon are also discussed. It is demonstrated that positons acquire two additional but always finite phase shifts in collision with solitons. This result admits a natural extension to any number of solitons and positons in interaction.
A hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations and finite‐dimensional involutive systems35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530882View Description Hide Description
A spectral problem and an associated hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations are presented in this article. In particular, the reductions of the two representative equations in this hierarchy are given: one is the nonlinear evolution equation r t =−αr x −2iαβ‖r 2‖r which looks like the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the other is the generalized derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation r t = 1/2iαr xx −iα‖r‖2 r−αβ(‖r‖2 r) x −αβ‖r‖2 r x −2iαβ2‖r‖4 r which is just a combination of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and two different derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations [D. J. Kaup and A. C. Newell, J. Math. Phys. 19, 789 (1978); M. J. Ablowitz, A. Ramani, and H. Segur, J. Math. Phys. 21, 1006 (1980)]. The spectral problem is nonlinearized as a finite‐dimensional completely integrable Hamiltonian system under a constraint between the potentials and the spectral functions. At the end of this article, the involutive solutions of the hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations are obtained. Particularly, the involutive solutions of the reductions of the two representative equations are developed.
An involutive system and integrable C. Neumann system associated with the modified Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy35(1994); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.530497View Description Hide Description
In this article, a system of finite‐dimensional involutive functions is presented and proven to be integrable in the Liouville sense. By using the nonlinearization method, the C. Neumann system associated with the modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) hierarchy is obtained. Thus, the C. Neumann system is shown to be completely integrable via a gauge transformation between it and an integrable Hamiltonian system. Finally, the solution of a stationary mKdV equation and the involutive solutions of the mKdV hierarchy are secured. As two examples, the involutive solutions are given for the mKdV equation: v t +1/4v xxx −3/2v 2 v x =0 and the 5th mKdV equation v t −1/16v xxxxx +5/8v 2 v xxx +5/2vv x v xx +5/8v 3 x −3/40v 4 v x =0.

DALLAS — At this past weekend's TwiCon, thousands of fans had fun meeting the stars , participating in "Twilight"-themed classes and even dressing up for a Volturi masquerade ball. But between all the smiles, there was the inevitable talk of scandal — thanks to recent fanbase-rocking news involving exiled actress Rachelle Lefevre .
"I can't believe they'd replace her," marveled Nicole McDuffie, 29, a fan from Alabama who said she was upset at Summit Entertainment's announcement that "Eclipse" would feature a different actress in the role of Victoria . "I'm very disappointed."
"It'll be weird to have someone else replacing her. It just won't be the same," agreed 14-year-old Page Watkins from Lakeland, Florida. "It'll be totally different, and not like the first one."
Bonnie Newkirk of Salt Lake City, a "Twilight" grandma, shared the teen's disappointment. "[Lefevre] won't be in too much of 'New Moon', but [Howard] will be in a lot of 'Eclipse,' " Newkirk pointed out.
"We heard that she had a scheduling conflict, so she wouldn't be in 'Eclipse,' " McDuffie said, citing the recent public battle of press releases . "We also heard that her side of it is that they told her they don't want her to be in 'Eclipse.' At this point, I don't know what to believe, other than that ['Eclipse'] is Victoria's movie. 'Eclipse' is the culmination of what Victoria is trying to accomplish and the end of her."
"For me, I know it's part of Hollywood," reasoned Adrian Therrell, 36, of South Carolina. "But it makes me mad at the studio. I don't know that it's their fault, but I'd rather have her."
Others, however, stuck up for the studio that has given them the franchise they love so much. "I'll always see [Lefevre] as Victoria," said Karen Bender, 21, from Phoenix. "But I do trust Summit with their casting decisions overall. … I'll still support the movies, but it's tough."
"I'm a little disappointed. We'll see what happens," said her sister Karen, 21. "It sounds like it's going to be a legal battle."
"You never know the truth about these things," Karen Newkirk of Hurst, Texas, said of the squabble between the two parties. "[Lefevre's] reality might be different than the studio's reality."
Meanwhile, some expressed hope over Lefevre's replacement, a Golden Globe-nominated actress with an impressive pedigree.
"I've seen her movies. I like her. I think she's a good replacement," Therrell said of Bryce Dallas Howard. "But I would much rather have Rachelle, just because she's already been the character — and you form bonds with characters."
Many expressed concern that watching November's "New Moon" would be an uncomfortable experience, because they'd know the actor had left the series under such circumstances.
"It's going to be disappointing [watching 'New Moon']. Because when I first saw 'Twilight,' she was my favorite character," Karen Newkirk said. "She was the one that embodied her character best from the books. She was a lioness, the way she moved, everything about her seemed to capture that character. It's going to take away from 'New Moon,' knowing that 'Eclipse' is coming next, and we know what's going to happen, but it's not going to be the same [actress]."
"They'll still be promoting 'New Moon' for another year, which she is in," added Karen Bender, hoping fan favorite Lefevre will continue to appear at events like the one this past weekend. "So I hope she still shows up at cons and stuff."
"I will accept [Howard], but I'd prefer to have Rachelle," added Watkins, who said she saw the first "Twilight" in theaters 16 times. "It's disappointing. But whatever they produce, we'll love it, because it's 'Twilight.' "
Check out everything we've got on "New Moon" and "Eclipse."

Move for Wales to Have Its Own Criminal Justice System
Byline: By David Williamson Western Mail
Lawyers agree change should be considered
WALES' new Counsel General, Carwyn Jones, has launched a debate about the creation of a separate criminal justice system for Wales.
He believes that if the National Assembly is transformed into a parliament, laws in Wales will become increasingly different to those in England.
The prospect of a distinct legal system in Wales has already been welcomed by one of the region's most senior barristers, Nicholas Cooke, leader of the Wales & Chester Circuit.
He said, "The closer it is to the community it serves the more I like it. It's pretty well inconceivable there are going to be huge differences on what's permissible [under] criminal law between England and Wales, but there are a lot of issues where there is room for difference."
As political devolution continues he expects legal reforms to be gradually introduced, but he does not anticipate a sudden revolution in the way law operates in Wales.
"I would think evolution is better," he said. "Stuff that grows up from the bottom has a habit of working better."
Mr Jones - the Bridgend AM who was confirmed as Counsel General in a vote by the National Assembly on Tuesday - warned the Welsh legal establishment they could not "shy away" from the debate. He said, "In a situation where the Assembly is able to exercise primary legislative powers, I think it's inevitable that the question will surface as to whether it is sustainable for the single jurisdiction of England and Wales to be retained."
Senior Liberal Democrat and QC Lord Carlile said he backed reform providing it did not make it more difficult to arrest, interview and prosecute criminals.
He said, "There's a strong argument for having High Court judges based entirely in Wales. I'm very much in favour of Wales having its own chief justice"
Mr Jones, speaking at a Law Society event in Cardiff, said, "The new powers we have already gained under the Government of Wales Act 2006 and the advent of Welsh laws, known as Measures, means that the potential exists for much greater divergence to develop between the law in relation to Wales and the law in relation to England.
"If the Welsh electorate, in a further referendum, allowed the Assembly to exercise primary legislative powers, then the scope for divergence would increase materially again. …

So, my roomate, in his cornfed farmboy hick-ass wisdom constantly makes fun of me calling me a wussie, pansy bike rider. I really don't care, but some of the things he says are just so full of BS its like I am swimming in it.
1. Called Tyler Hamilton a wimp, despite riding 20 days in the hardest athletic event on the earth with a broken collar bone. He said that it really wouldn't hurt because you don't use your upper body when you ride
2. Says that downhill mountain biking is easy, and any one could do it. Also said the same about XC, which is what I do, but to anyone who has tried either knows the score.
3. Apparently, we as cyclists don't suffer at all, and he always says this one: "You're just riding a bike, how hard can it be?" Since he drag races, I shoot right back at him: "You're just driving a car, how hard can it be?"
4. Says he intentionally swerves closer to us on the road.
5. Makes fun of every part of my riding eqipment, from my bike to the shoes that I wear, even my helmet.
So, as you can see, he is clearly a simple minded hick who has such a miserable existance. We took a class together last year, an intro to construction management, and I aced it, while he obviously failed, given that he is taking it over again, but lies about it because his pride gets in the way. He claims to be a hard-ass roughneck, bur his girlfriends push him around so bad it makes me sick. You should see the guy's bathroom, it looks like i live with a chick. So, if for some reason you get onto this page, I hope that when you go to hell, you be forced to ride a 45 pound Huffy up a 12% grade for an eternity.

Avon A, Paperback, 9780060563738, 388pp.
Publication Date: June 24, 2008
The day after her lavish wedding anniversary bash, Rosie Meyers gets a big surprise: her nouveau riche husband, Richie, is leaving her for a sultry, sophisticated, size-six MBA. So, when he's found murdered in their exquisitely appointed kitchen, no one is surprised to find Rosie's prints all over the weapon.
The suburban English teacher is the prime suspect -- the police's only suspect. And she knows she'll spend the rest of her life in the prison library unless she can unmask the real killer. Going into Manhattan on the lam, Rosie learns more about Richie than she ever wanted to know. And more about herself than she ever dreamed possible.

No. 15 Jake Bequette
Published: Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 9:38 a.m.
Gatorsports counts down the top 25 players in the SEC, leading right up to SEC Media Days.
No. 15 JAKE BEQUETTE
Arkansas defensive end
Why he's No. 15: With 31 career starts, Bequette is the leader of a Razorbacks defense that continues to improve each year under coach Bobby Petrino. He's been Arkansas' best pass-rusher the past two seasons.
Key number: 7, Bequette's team-leading number of sacks in 2010. He also had eight tackles for loss, five quarterback hurries and three pass breakups.
Fun fact: Florida fans will remember Bequette as one of the main Hogs who put a scare into the unbeaten Gators in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in 2009. He harassed QB Tim Tebow all day and finished with two sacks and a critical forced fumble.

"In the shadow of the Kilimanjaro" Top 5 Page for this destination Amboseli National Park by tompt
Amboseli National Park Travel Guide: 120 reviews and 376 photos
Amboseli is a relatively small gamepark in the shadow of Africas highest mountain, the Kilimanjaro. The Amboseli Park was established in 1968 and became a National Park in 1974. Amboselli covers an area of 392 sq km. There are five main wildlife habitats: open plains, acacia woodland, rocky thorn bush country, swamps and marshland. A temporary lake, Lake Amboseli, floods during years of heavy rainfall.
We visited the park in a dry period. (rains are in april/may and november /december)
There was absolutely no water in lake Amboselli. When driving on the sandy lakefloor we encountered several zebra, that died of thirst.
Our guide told us that young inexperienced zebra forget to drink enough before wandering a long way from water, and they simply don't make it back to the water.
There was enough water in Amboseli when we were there, in the marshlands and the swamps.
It was not good for the zebra he didn't find this water before the sunset, but other animals (like the vultures) benefited from the zebras poor judgement.
We stayed in the Amboseli Park for two nights, made sunrise and sunset gamedrives, and relaxed near the Amboseli lodge.

Nice page
Excellent Amboseli page! The pictures of the Masia were very interesting. Do you think going to the Masai village is worthwhile, or do you think it's too commercial? ~ Helen
Looks like it was a fantastic adventure!
Great wildlife pics (as usual), looks like a great park to visit.
Prachtig! Wonderful! well rather a safari car then a Tigra there `-) hahaha pity that "tourists" get ripped off like this mmmm but over all it sure looks like the trip was quite some marvelous experience!
Schitterende foto's van de zonsondergang. En de dieren natuurlijk. Verveelt nooit.
Hi did you notice MT. KILI. 's icecap is almost gone? I was there in 2001. Had to pass through this Sept. I saw the difference. When that goes everything around it will go! The water in Amboseli is fed by MT. KILI. Glad you went. Keep going! David

Clean While You Climb: A recap of the 2015 Yosemite Facelift
Ken Yager is a man who understands the value of volunteerism. He approaches his work with the belief, creativity and passionate toil of a big wall climber. It's an apt metaphor as he's climbed El Capitan dozens of times. Along with his wife Schree and two children, he lives in El Portal, located three and half miles down the road from the Arch Rock entrance station to Yosemite National Park. And as the founder and cardiovascular system of the Yosemite Climbing Association, he is a leader of ideas and action.
The Yosemite Climbing Association represents an international community of climbers who are also activists, dreamers and doers. Core to the Yosemite Climbing Association's mission is the preservation of the artifacts and lore of every age of Yosemite climbing history. Through Ken's sharp eye, ear and hand, the collection covers a critical portrayal and understanding of the importance and scope of Yosemite's impact on global climbing.
Above: Ken Yager and Lynn Hill at the Facelift sign-in table. Lynn was one of 1,467 unique volunteers who participated in this year's trash-cleaning event. Yosemite National Park, California. All photos by Steve Rathbun / Courtesy of Yosemite Facelift

How Much Does the BICSI Certification Cost?
The Building Industry Consulting Service International, or BISCI, provides a program for people that would like to expand their knowledge in the telecommunications industry. Most employers prefer people that have credentials to perform the services for which they are hired. This is why, after completing college, a lot of people go further and acquire a certification to boost their credentials. There are many certifications available depending on your specialty and education background, and the BISCI is one of them. It is considered to be a high level of skills training. Having this type of certification can definitely provide an edge to the person willing to take it.
How much is it?
- There are several factors why the price for taking BICSI certification can be different. Because this certification is offered in many different countries, the price can change depending on your locations. Another factor for the price of BICSI certification is the type of course the person would like to take since there are classes that can be taken in person or online. Because of the large range of tests and levels, the price range is also quite large. The certification can cost anywhere from $50 to $2000.
- The official website of BICSI provides the price for the different courses offered to get BICSI certification. They offer a price list for the courses that they offer, and each one costs a different amount. Courses for ITS Designs fundamentals can range anywhere from $55 to $350. These credentials and their corresponding fees are as follows:
- Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD)
- Application Fee = $245 Members/$370 Non Members
- Exam/Retake Fee = $160 Members/$285 Non-Members
- Registered Telecommunications Project Manager (RTPM)
- Application Fee = $245 Members/$370 Non Members
- Exam/Retake Fee = $150 Members/$275 Non-Members
- Data Center Design Consultant (DCDC)
- Application Fee = $245 Members/$370 Non Members
- Exam/Retake Fee = $150 Members/$275 Non-Members
- Outside Plant Designer (OPD)
- Application Fee = $245 Members/$370 Non Members
- Exam/Retake Fee = $150 Members/$275 Non-Members
- Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD)
What is going to be included?
- There are several benefits for having a BICSI certification. This type of certification gives a competitive advantage and is greatly considered by employers. You will also be able to gain the skills and knowledge through industry experts.
- These certifications will allow you to earn continuing credits that will help you build your future and will help you show your clients that you are current with the different trends and technologies of your field.
What are the extra costs?
- If you would like to get an advantage before taking the examination, there are sample exams that you can take which usually costs $99. This does not guarantee that you will pass the exam, but it will prepare you for what is covered on the exam.
- There are fees that you will need to take care of when you want to renew your license. The price would depend on the location where you took the certification.
Tips to know:
- Paying for certification can be a costly investment, but it can almost guarantee you a prospective future since employers will know that you have undergone specific training for the job that they are trying to fill.
How can I save money?
- To save money, you can try getting online courses; just be sure that you have a stable internet connection. Staying at home while finishing the course can definitely save you money since you do not have to worry about transportation to and from class.
- Another way to save money is to check for different schools that offer BICSI certification. You can compare prices and go to the one that offers it at the lowest possible price.


text: Dont know what went wrong with my BB Torch 9800. Am using it since 6 months and it was working fine. As i saw few other BB Devices having customized fonts, i attempted doing the same. Though i followed the steps properly, dont now why, since than my phone looks too sharp. Seems like all the smoothness went off. So i tried to revert back to my earlier fonts by still the smoothness is missing. Is it because of using Desktop Service Synchronization ? Yes, i used it just before the problem appeared. Is there anyone having the same problem ? Please help me out fixing this.

6JSC/EURIG/3 Language of expression - Revision of RDA 6.11, 18.104.22.168, 184.108.40.206, 220.127.116.11, 18.104.22.168

Please include in your comments:
- Your name/liaison organization
- Month/day/year
Never copy and paste over the entire original wiki document.
General comments
I disagree with proposed change to 6.11. Language of an expression applies to non-textual resources, does it not? For example a film can be made without a textual screenplay - documentaries are a good example. The dubbed version of such a film still has a new language of expression.
In the next to last suggested example, there should be no space between the initials C. and F.: C.F. Fritzsch rather than C. F. Fritzsch.
- Glennan (PCC) for Adam Schiff, University of Washington (8/3/12)
Constituency Responses
LC: Text of response
Proposed changes to 6.11: Do not agree. Some of proposed qualifiers are better expressed as relationships. Also concerned about adding textual terms to attributes; could create problems in a linked data environment.
Proposed changes to 7.12: Do not agree to proposed changes in examples; convenience of the user is still paramount.
ACOC: Text of response
Support making language of expression a core element where applicable, but not completely in agreement with proposal.
Agree in making language mandatory.
6.11: prefer wording "if the resource includes language content" ("text" is too constrained).
Layout of examples not as useful as they could be; might be taken as a prescribed format for recording information and could present problems for data interchange.
Support optional addition to qualify language of expression at 220.127.116.11 and 220.127.116.11.
Support changes to remove manifestation information at 220.127.116.11.
Not clear why examples removed at 188.8.131.52.
Support intent of revision at 188.8.131.52.
