Leisure Suit Larry is coming BACK
So. For all those of you who loved the old school point and click adventures..
In particular, the great Leisure Suit Larry games..
Make Leisure Suit Larry come again! by Replay Games — Kickstarter
This is the kickstarter campaign which has been launched by Al Lowe and Replay Games. If they hit the target goal, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards will be remade with updated graphics, music, voices, and interface.
These guys have obviouslly taken a clue from the success of Double Fine adventures recent kickstarter campaign.
Get in behind them! Lets bring old school adventure gaming back!
Oh Dear! Leisure Suit Larry...lol
I remember this game coming out on a Commodore Amiga. I had a 128D...
Yeppers, I am a contributor to that Kickstarter.
Just waiting for the alpha/beta testing to start! -)
I used to play that on my Commodore, too. I'm pretty sure I was too young.
This game was quite popular in my teenage early years, I think the new generation will also enjoy it and the ones that played the earlier versions will be delighted.
Leisure Suit Larry is the freaking best ! so glad it's comming back
I wonder if they managed to teach Larry to swim this time around.
That, or fixed the toilet drain :)
For me, Reloaded was a let down. Don't get me wrong, generally speaking it's a great game. Soundtrack is awesome, graphics are nice, but there is just too little added content. Which would not be the problem, if the price was lower. 20$ for the same game as in 1987? Meh. Too bad.
I just wanted to see of those ex-Sierra guys where serious about getting back in the games business. Al Lowe was the big pusher of the project...I expected more new content. But it seems they are too stuck in the "we used to be über...why can't be just do the same and be über again?" mindset.
I have the t-shirt, mouse pad, condom, game, etc. from the Reloaded kickstarter. I won't be supporting any more from these guys, individually or separately, from now on. They had a chance to shine...but I guess they are just too tarnished! -0

Ludwig absolutely hated grocery shopping with all his heart. It seemed no matter where he went, there was always a line; the store was packed; they were out of his favorite wurst, etc. He was never in a good mood entering, because he soon realized he was never in a good mood exiting.
Sure enough, at this place there was a line. It was bad, much worse than usual. His observant blue eyes trailed to the front, noticing a Spanish cashier. Ludwig had to suppress a groan; Spanish employees were the worst! They were always too friendly; striking up idle conversation and taking forever to do the job they were originally supposed to be doing. He looked left and right, hoping for another line or cashier, but had no such luck.
He sighed, trying hard not to show his outward disapproval. He stood there awkwardly for a few minutes, trying to decide if it was worth waiting in this line. Italy had asked for pasta (a big surprise), and Japan had requested a few items as well. With his own selections, Ludwig decided it would take too much work to put it all back and find another store.
He knew that the Spaniard would make this line even longer, but this wait was ridiculous. What customer could possibly take this long?! A tired looking Greek was conversing with the Spanish; it appeared both had stopped doing their part long ago.
Can this get any worse?
Apparently it could. An Italian had cut in line, whistling loudly and ignoring the obvious complaints from the others in line. The German was quite bothered by it, but not as much as the Austrian in front of him. Ludwig could practically see the steam coming out from his ears, along with the constant, impatient tapping of his foot to the sour expression on his face.
He recognized the Italian as Romano, Italy's bad-tempered brother. The two of them did not get along well at all, usually ending up with Romano in pain or troubled by his own causes and Ludwig embarrassed to be seen around him. Sometimes he could care less, but today just wasn't a good day for him. Perhaps if he remained quiet, this trip could remain uneventful.
"A long line, huh?"
Ludwig turned around, expecting another bothersome person, but instead found a young woman, holding a small basket filled with a few sugary delights. He took this moment to quickly eye her, taking in her features. Though the clothes she wore were not extravagant, she looked lovely in the simplicity. Her [h/c] gave her personality, moving a little out of place every time she shifted her feet. Her bright [e/c] seemed to smile at him as they met his own clear blue ones.
He sighed, running a finger through his neat hair. He didn't want to sound as though he were complaining if he told her that was a complete understatement.
"Hey you! Stop your chatting! We are all trying to get through the line here! Are you listening?! I am talking to you!" The Austrian had apparently snapped, pointing and yelling dramatically to those in the front of the line.
"Calm down; I think long lines are normal in this neighborhood." The Russian in the middle of the line turned around, trying to console the Austrian.
Ludwig smiled at the woman, a stressed, forced smile, but a smile no doubt. "You have no idea."
He quickly returned his attention to the front, curious to see if the Austrian's outburst improved his condition any. Naturally it hadn't; the Greek and Spaniard merely resumed their small-talk. An American near the front began to converse with the Finnish man, laughing loudly and chortling at jokes before the punchline. All of this together was slowly killing him, but the young woman behind him seemed to be delightful company. He learned that she was called [Name], and he replied with his own name. Ludwig attempted to keep the conversation afloat by asking her questions, and answering hers in return.
"So why are you here?" He asked her, eyeing her small basket.
"Me? I was just craving some sweets."
But she's already sweet enough.
She looked at him expectantly, as though waiting for a response for something. He didn't even notice that she had asked him something. Ludwig looked down at her, opening his mouth to ask her, closing it again when he realized he didn't know what to ask.
"Next customer up please~" A pleasant voice broke the conversation they were having. [Name] looked at him, smiling.
"I believe that's you."
"Oh." He quieted, then looked back at her small basket.
I might as well let her go in front of me. It's not like she has much, and I'm already late.
"Go ahead, I don't mind." Ludwig ushered her forward, blushing at her ecstatic face.
What could she possibly be so ecstatic about? It's not like this is a big deal or anything...
"Thank you very much!" [Name] thanked him graciously, bowing her head slightly as she put her measly items near the register.
"Oh, hello~!" The Spaniard at the cashier smiled radiantly at [Name], causing her to smile back. "I know I'm not a grocery item, but I can tell you're checking me out."
[Name] laughed awkwardly, shaking her head and denying said declaration. Ludwig felt himself stiffen at the accusation; there's no way she would ever be interested in an idiot like that! The Spanish man continued working at a snail-like pace, ignoring the awkwardness felt seconds ago and continued the conversation.
After a few agonizing minutes for the German, the Spanish cashier was done, giving [Name] a gracious smile as he handed her the groceries. She stepped forward to allow Ludwig up, then stepping to the side.
Is she...waiting for me?
"I wanna bag you like some groceries."
Both Ludwig and [Name] jumped, the latter whirling around to see the Greek who was originally in the front of the line. It seemed that he hadn't gotten far, standing idly by the door, almost as though he was also waiting for someone. That someone happened to be [Name].
"Thank...you?" She answered uncertainly, shifting her feet as she looked into his dark green eyes. She had no idea what he could possibly be thinking; this man had one of the best poker faces she had ever seen.
Ludwig turned back to the cashier, praying and almost begging that he would be done checking out so the German could assist [Name]; she had still stuck around waiting for him, but a few more minutes might change that.
"Will you please hurry up?" He growled at the Spaniard, who held his hands up defensively.
"Calm down, mi amigo~ Why don't you enjoy the lovely day we're having, the lovely weather, the lovely..." At this point Ludwig had drowned him out completely, returning his attention to [Name].
After a few more infuriating minutes, the German paid and was a free man; ready to leave this forsaken place called a store. It appeared that the Greek had lost interest in [Name] and left, leaving her by the door alone as she waited for him. She had opened up some of her chocolate, nibbling on a little piece as he approached her. Sad as it was, he couldn't pull his eyes away from her mouth.
Ludwig remembered something about pickup lines; perhaps he could use one of them. Nothing gaudy like the Spaniard and Greek had used, something more sophisticated. Unfortunately, nothing was coming to his mind as the two began to walk out of the store and into the nice warm air. [Name] was looking up at his face, watching him repeatedly open his mouth, stare at her, blush, and close his mouth again. She smiled at him, hoping to reassure him of whatever he was trying to say.
"W-Would you like to go get some coffee?" The German stuttered, his face turning red. She had been waiting for him all that time; he had to do something, but that wasn't smooth at all! Italy was always telling him how he attracted the ladies, but quite frankly Ludwig could care less. Now he wished he had payed more attention to the overactive Italian.
"I'd like that." [Name] smiled and nodded as they walked over to the nearest coffee shop.
You're so beautiful you made me forget my pickup line....
Hey, I have a pickup line!
*clears throat* alrighty, here goes, 'Hey boy, you got any raisins?' Him: 'No?' Me: 'Well then, how about a date?!'
Badum tssss!

The mystery deepened Sunday, March 23, 2014 when the third episode of "Resurrection" aired on ABC. The episode was filled with twists and turns.... once again providing few answers and bringing even more questions to the table for viewers.
Maggie (Devin Kelley) and Bellamy (Omar Epps) peered into the casket to find.... Jacob's remains. As odd as it seems, the Jacob (Landon Gimenez) viewers know in the "here and now" is a carbon copy of the Jacob interred in the tomb over 30 years ago. A confused Henry Langston (Kurtwood Smith) was unsure what to think about the fact that exhuming his son's remains failed to reveal any further pertinent information about the "true identity" of the present Jacob. Henry finally spoke honestly to his wife, admitting that he had yet to make peace with losing his son years ago, and that seeing Jacob back now was difficult on the man. Sadly, it's not just Henry feeling this way. The church is experiencing issues with accepting Jacob and has decided, for now, to ban the boy and his mother from all services.
Speaking of issues, Ray (Travis Young) is having difficulty accepting his father's return and things with Caleb have gone from bad to worse. Ray revealed his theory about the man's return: he believes Caleb (Sam Hazeldine) is an alien as there was a crash in the area roughly the same time as Caleb's return. Only time will tell, though, if Bellamy will put two and two together and discover that Dale Getheard (Jason Saucier) was bludgeoned to death by Caleb as Bellamy discovered Getheard's corpse at episode's end.
Getheard's corpse was not the only surprise find of the night. The final surprise was the return of yet another Arcadia resident, and someone very close to the good pastor Hale (Mark Hildreth.) Though her identity has yet to be revealed, she appears to be an old flame.
So what do you think of the series? Did you enjoy this episode? How do you think the mysterious resurrections will be explained?

April 18, 2013
DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois women's tennis team takes on Ball State and Miami at home this weekend looking to close out the 2013 schedule on a high note after one of the winningest campaigns in history.
NIU's 14 dual match wins this year are already the most by a Huskie women's tennis team since 1996-97 and are the sixth-most all-time. After narrowly missing the .500 mark last season with an 11-12 finish, Northern Illinois will finish the spring with a winning record for the first time since 2003.
The Huskies will take on Ball State (13-10, 3-3 MAC) Friday at 1 p.m. at the Boylan Tennis Courts in Rockford (4000 St. Francis Dr.) and will play league-leader Miami (10-12, 6-1 MAC) Saturday at 1 p.m. That match will be played either at Boylan or at the West Tennis Courts on the NIU campus, depending on the weather conditions.
Northern Illinois Head Coach Ryun Ferrell said although NIU is out of the conference race, his team is motivated.
"We are ready to finish strong," Ferrell said. "We are looking for that 15th win and add to our résumé for the all- conference ballots. This has been an amazing year and we want to end on a high note."
Huskie sophomore Nelle Youel (Crystal Lake, Ill./Crystal Lake Central HS) needs one singles win this weekend to tie Natacha Koprivica for the most singles wins in a season at NIU. Koprivica set the record in 1989 with 26 wins, while Youel is 19-3 this spring and has won 25 matches this year. She is also third in combined (singles and doubles) victories in a season with 46 and could climb into second place on that list with three wins this weekend. Two of Youel's three losses have come in the third-set super tiebreaker.
With 21 singles victories this year, including 16 this spring, NIU's Mary Malkin (Tel Aviv, Israel/Alliance) also can break into the Huskies' Top 10 list for single season wins. She needs one win to move into a tie for ninth-place on the single season chart.

It's nothing physicality wrong with my display or my memory(it's on board). I have run a memtest, and besides that withe the previous version of Ubuntu I've had no problems.

Wizards, Witches and Beings: T
Presumably the co-owner of Twilfitt and Tatting's, a wizarding dress shop (HBP6).
Thickey, Janus
In 1973, Thickey left a note on the bedside table for his wife, claiming that he had been killed by a Lethifold. Janus was shortly thereafter discovered five miles away, living with the landlady of the Green Dragon (FB). A ward for patients with spell damage in St. Mungo's Hospital is now named for Janus (Gilderoy Lockhart and the Longbottoms reside there), which suggests that he might have come out of this incident a little worse for the wear (OP23).
"Janus" was the two-faced deity after whom the month of January was named.
Thicknesse, Pius
Minister for Magic from 1997-1998 while under the Imperius Curse (DH13,36). (More...)
Pius=To be 'pious' is to be noticeably and devoutly religious or obedient;
today the word can sometimes imply hypocritical behavior. 'Pius' is an
old Roman title used by emperors, and later, by Italian Popes.
Thicknesse='thick' is slang for stupidity.
Together his name would appear to mean 'pious stupidity,' an inauspicious name for a Minister of Magic.
Thomas, Dean
(b. circa 1980)
1991 - 1998; Quidditch team Chaser (HBP14, HBP24).
A "half-blood" Black boy, even taller than Ron (PS7, OP11). Member of Dumbledore's Army. (More...)
Thomas, Mr.
Biological father of Dean Thomas, a wizard who walked out on his Muggle wife and infant son to protect them from the Death Eaters. Thomas was eventually killed by the Death Eaters when he refused to join their cause (JKR). Sadly, his son doesn't know why his father left, or even who he was (DH15).
Thruston, Orsino
(b. 1976)
Plays drums with the popular wizarding band The Weird Sisters (fw98).
"Orsino" = refers to the Count Orsino inTwelfth Night. Orsino was the mouthpiece of the line "If music be the food of love, play on." Of course, since JKR's Orsino is a drummer for a popular wizarding band, this is not without her trademark irony. It's even more so, because Orsino was actually speaking negatively of love, with the music as a means to over-feed him, to make him weary of love.
Thurkell, Thaddeus
(1632 - 1692)
Famous for producing seven sons, all Squibs, and turning them all into hedgehogs in disgust (fw).
Uncle of Cormac McLaggen. Tiberius was a favorite student of Horace Slughorn's. Avid hunter; his hunting buddies include Bertie Higgs and Rufus Scrimgeour (HBP7). He holds high office in the Ministry of Magic. It is possible that 'Uncle Tiberius' is Tiberius Ogden.
Timms, Agatha
Owner of an eel farm, she bet with Ludo Bagman over the Quidditch World Cup match (GF7).
"tiny old wizard in violet cloak"
One of the first wizards we meet in the books. He bumps into Vernon Dursley at 5pm the day after Voldemort disappeared and said "Don't be sorry, my dear sir, for nothing could upset me today! Rejoice, for You-Know-Who has gone at last! Even Muggles like yourself should be celebrating, this happy, happy day!" Then the old man hugs Dursley and walks off (PS1).
Rowling uses this encounter to show Dursley's profound discomfort with anything unusual or magical. This wizard is possibly also "tiny man in a violet top hat" that bowed to Harry while he was out shopping with his aunt (PS2).
Member of the Wizarding Examinations Authority, he is a friend of Tiberius Ogden and an examiner for Harry during his practical Astronomy, Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts O.W.L.s and History of Magic theory O.W.L.. Tofty wears pince-nez glasses and appeared to be the oldest and baldest examiner, with a quavery old voice (OP31).
Toke, Tilly
(1903 - 1991)
Recipient of the Order of Merlin First Class as a result of the Ilfracombe dragon attack of 1932. An errant Welsh Green dragon attacked a beach full of sunbathers. Tilly and her family were credited with saving Muggle lives as well as wiping their memory afterwards. One Muggle, however, known as "Dodgy Dirk," is known to tell tales of a "dirty great flying lizard" that attacked him way back when. His story is not believed by other Muggles. Tilly now appears on a Famous Wizards card (#77) (FBxvi, fw77).
Bald, toothless, gloomy old innkeeper of the Leaky Cauldron (PS5, PA3, PA4). He was succeeded by Hannah Abbott (OBT/CH).
Tom was played by Derek Deadman in the first film. He is not depicted as either bald or toothless (PS/f).
Tonks, Andromeda "Dromeda" Black
(b. before 1955)
Though a sister of Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy (and very similar in appearance to Bellatrix), Andromeda married a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks, was promptly blasted off the Black family tree (BFT, DH5), and had a daughter, Nymphadora (OP6). Nymphadora was born in 1973 so Andromeda probably started Hogwarts in the early to mid-1960s, making her older than her cousin Sirius. Andromeda was Sirius' favorite cousin.
Andromeda helped the Order of the Phoenix during their war against Voldemort, a war in which her husband, daughter, and son-in-law, Remus Lupin, were all killed (DH22, DH34). She then single-handedly raised her grandson, Teddy Lupin, though she had plenty of help from family friends (BLC, DH/e).
Tonks, Nymphadora
(1973 - May 2, 1998)
Appearance: as a Metamorphmagus, Tonks could assume many different appearances. Her actual appearance was that of a pretty, young woman with a pale, heart-shaped face. Married to Remus Lupin. She preferred to be called "Tonks" but her father calls her "Dora." Killed at the Battle of Hogwarts (DH).
A "nymph" = a mythological semi-divine maiden. (More...)
Tonks, Ted
(d. 1997)
Muggle-born wizard, father of Nymphadora and husband of Andromeda. He was described by his daughter as a "right old slob," in contrast to the Dursleys, whose house seemed unnaturally clean to Nymphadora (OP3). Andromeda's marriage to Ted resulted in her being disowned by the Black family (OP6). Ted Tonks had fair hair and a large-ish belly (DH5). During the war on Voldemort, Ted tried to run from the Ministry (DH15), but was caught and killed (DH22).
Toothill, Alberta
(1391 - 1483)
Famous Wizarding Duelist. Toothill won the All-England competition in 1430 with a Blasting Charm. She defeated Samson Wiblin, who was the favorite to win. Toothill now appears on a Famous Wizard card (and Wiblin doesn't!) (fw27).
Both "toot" and "blast" are slang terms for "fart."
Toots, Tilden
(b. 1959)
Radio Personality. "Bouncing bulbs losing height? Devil's Snare merely tickling? Fanged Geranium nothing but gums? Then tune your wireless to Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots the award-winning herbology presented by ~Tilden Toots,~ 'the wizard with three green thumbs'" (JKR). Toots is married to author Daisy Hookum and has a broad West Country accent.
You can listen to Toots' radio show by turning on the radio in the "Extras" page of JKR's website. On that show he tells Georgina Smythe how to revive her Flitterbloom plant (and thus tells us how to revive the one on the Locked Door page as well). He was JKR's Wizard of the Month for March 2007 (JKR).
Towler, Kenneth
(b. circa 1978)
Gryffindor 1989 - 1996.
A student who took his O.W.L.s at the same time as Fred and George, who developed boils as the test approached. Granted, the boils had a lot more to do with the Bulbadox Powder Fred had put in his pyjamas than with the stress of the test (OP12).
Death Eater who Murdered Marlene McKinnon and her family, according to Karkaroff during his own trial; he had already been captured by the Ministry (GF30, OP9).
Travers later escaped and went back to work at the Voldemort-controlled Ministry of Magic (DH13); he also had a most unfortunately timed encounter with a woman who he thought was Bellatrix Lestrange, going into Gringotts, though it was actually Hermione preparing to break into Bellatrix's vault. Harry quickly placed him under an Imperius Curse and made him hide in a crack in the wall of the cave tunnels (DH26).
Trelawney, Cassandra
Great-great-grandmother of Sibyll Trelawney. Cassandra was a "very famous, very gifted" Seer in her day (OP37).
Cassandra=Trojan seer gifted with true prophecy, but cursed (by Apollo) so that no one would ever believe her. The people of Troy ignored her warnings not to allow the Trojan Horse within the city's walls, a mistake that allowed the Greeks to capture Troy (EM).
Trelawney, Sibyll Patricia
(birthday: March 9, year unknown but before 1960)
Divination professor at Hogwarts, hired by Dumbledore in 1979 after making a prophecy about Harry Potter and Voldemort. She was sacked during the 1995-1996 school year by Umbridge, but reinstated at the end of the year (PA, GF, OP, HBP, DH). (More...)
Trelawney's first name is spelled 'Sibyll' in the Scholastic editions and 'Sybill' in the British editions.
Tremlett, Donaghan
(b. 1972)
Bass player with the popular wizarding band The Weird Sisters, and a big Kenmare Kestrels supporter (fw94). According to the Daily Prophet, he was married in the fall of 1995 (OP14).
Tremlett was Wizard of the Month on JKR's website for July, 2004 (JKR).
Trimble, Quentin
Author of The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self Protection (PS5) .
"Tremble" = English "to shake, as with fear."
Irish Chaser, one third of the famous "Troy, Mullet, and Moran" (GF8). See also Troy (city).
"The Irish Quidditch team players are all named after people I have known. 'Moran', 'Troy' and 'Quigley,' are good friends. 'Troy' is one of my very oldest friends and she also happens to be a passionate supporter of West Ham Football Club. It is in her honour that the only soccer team ever mentioned in the books is West Ham." (JKR: Extra Stuff)
Truman, Gabriel
Hufflepuff, c. 1987-1994
Hufflepuff prefect who welcomes new students to that House in Pottermore (Pm).
"tufty-haired wizard "
Delivered the eulogy at Dumbledore's funeral (HBP30), and married Bill and Fleur (DH8).
Tugwood, Sacharissa
(1874 - 1966)
A witch who invented some of the earliest Beautifying Potions and discovered the pimple-curing properties of Bubotuber Pus. The words on her gravestone read 'Thanks to Sacharissa Tugwood, the world is a more beautiful place' (fw68).
"saccharine" = English for overly sweet.
Turpin, Lisa
(b. circa 1980)
Ravenclaw, 1991-1998. A girl who was sorted along with Harry's class, just before Ron (PS7).
Twiddle, Mallory
Mallory Twiddle wrote a letter to the Daily Prophet, complaining that Gringotts was using Sphinxes to guard its high security vaults. Apparently, Twiddle had encountered one of these guardians and had spent a frustrating hour trying to figure out its riddles. Eventually, the Sphinx chased him out of the bank (DP).

I often see something like $(A - B)^2$ being written as $(A - B)(A - B)^T$ . Here $A$ and $B$ are two matrices. I can see that this is possible when $A$ and $B$ are scalars (i.e) single element matrices. In what other cases does this equality hold ?

It seems to me there are two related questions operative here; the first is the question as posed in the title, which I take to apply to any square matrix $C$: when can we write $C^2 = CC^T$? that is, what special properties must $C$ possess which would imply, or be implied by, $C^2 = CC^T$? The second question, which is really only a minor variation of the first, asks what happens when $C$ is represented in the special form $C = A - B$, so that we have $(A - B)(A - B) = (A - B)(A^T - B^T)$. But the equivalence of these two views is easily seen: since $A$ and $B$ are arbitrary, any $C$ may be written in the form $A - B$ by simply taking $A = C$, $B = 0$; furthermore, by fixing $C$ and taking $A = B + C$, and letting $B$ range over the set of all $B$ square matrices, we see that all pairs of matrices $A$, $B$ with $C = A - B$ may be so obtained. And since nothing further has been specified concerning $A$ and $B$, e.g. there is no special relationship between them which might give $C = A - B$ some additional structure, we might as well enjoy the at least the notational convenience of working with $C$. Results can always be translated back to the $A - B$ form if so desired.
So when does $C^2 = CC^T$ hold? Well, as we used to say out west at old Caltech, it is "trivially obvious to even the most casual observer" that $C$ symmetric, that is, $C =C^T$, implies $C^2 = CC^T$. But wait! There's more! Suppose we write the equation $C^2 = CC^T$ in the form
$C(C - C^T) = 0; \tag{1}$
from (1) we see that in the event that $C$ is invertible, i.e. $\exists C^{-1}$, then upon left multiplication by $C^{-1}$ we obtain
$C - C^T = 0 \Rightarrow C = C^T \tag{2}$
i.e. $C$ must be symmetric in this case. If, the other hand, we assume $C - C^T$ is invertible, we immediately run into trouble: if $\exists (C - C^T)^{-1}$, then right multiplication of (1) by $(C - C^T)^{-1}$ yields
$C = 0; \tag{3}$
but (3) forces
$C - C^T = 0 - 0 = 0, \tag{4}$
and this contradiction shows that $C - C^T$ cannot have an inverse if
$C^2 = CC^T. \tag{5}$
Closer scrutiny of the matrix $C - C^T$, the right-hand factor in (1), reveals that it is in fact skew-symmetric, that is
$(C - C^T)^T = C^T - (C^T)^T = C^T - C = -(C - C^T); \tag{6}$
indeed, $C$, as may any other matrix, be decomposed into unique symmetric and skew-symmetric parts, $C_+ = C_+^T$ and $C_-= -C_-^T$:
$C = C_+ + C_-, \tag{7}$
and if we take the transpose of (7) we see that
$C^T = C_+^T + C_-^T = C_+ - C_-; \tag{8}$
(7) and (8) may be solved for $C_+$ and $C_-$ by adding and subtracting them, yielding
$C_+ = \dfrac{1}{2}(C + C^T); \; C_- = \dfrac{1}{2}(C - C^T), \tag{9}$
and if the equations (9) are inserted into (1) we see that
$2(C_+ + C_-)C_- = 0 \Leftrightarrow (C_+ + C_-)C_- = 0; \tag{10}$
from (10) we have
$(C_+ + C_-)C_- = C_+C_- + C_-^2 = 0, \tag{11}$
$C_+C_- = -C_-^2. \tag{12}$
We next observe that, though $C_-$ is skew-symmetric, $C_-^2$ is in fact symmetric:
$(C_-^2)^T = (C_-C_-)^T = C_-^TC_-^T = (-C_-)(-C_-) = C_-^2, \tag{13}$
and so $-C_-^2$ is also symmetric; by transposing (12) we see that
$-C_-C_+ = C_-^TC_+^T = (C_+C_-)^T = (-C_-^2)^T = -C_-^2 = C_+C_-. \tag{14}$
(12)-(14) show that, for (5) to hold, the symmetric and skew-symmetric parts of $C$ must satisfy
$C_+C_- = -C_-^2 = -C_-C_+. \tag{15}$
Having sifted through various implications of (5) we have finally found one, (12), which is both necessary and sufficient. The necessity of (12), given (5), has just been shown. That (5) follows from (12) is also easy to see; just take a walk backwards from (12) to (5); the essential steps are all logically bidirectional.
(15) in fact shows that $C_+$ and $C_-$ must in fact anticommute, i.e.
$C_+C_- + C_-C_+ = 0; \tag{16}$
we also see that $C_+C_- + C_-C_+$ is skew-symmetric, whether it happens to vanish or not:
$(C_+C_- + C_-C_+)^T = -C_-C_+ - C_+C_- = -(C_+C_- + C_-C_+); \tag{17}$
it is in fact in general the skew-symmetric part of $C^2$, as may be seen from
$C^2 = (C_+ + C_-)^2 = (C_+^2 + C_-^2) + (C_+C_- + C_-C_+); \tag{18}$
Note that $C_+^2 + C_-^2$ is symmetric, as we have seen; just as we have seen that $C_+C_- + C_-C_+$ is skew; the decomposition into symmetric and skew-symmetric parts being unique, the formula (18) expresses the only such decomposition of $C^2$; in the specific case at hand, $C^2 = CC^T$, we see that this reduces to
$C^2 = (C_+ + C_-)^2 = C_+^2 + C_-^2 \tag{19}$
by virtue of (16).
Well, this shows the kinds of structural properties $C$ must have for $C^2 = CC^T$ to apply. I think that by digging further along these veins more could be unearthed, but that's as far as I'm taking it for the moment.
Hope this helps. Cheerio,
and as always,
Fiat Lux!!!
In the answer of Robert, his condition (12) $C_+C_-=-{C_-}^2$ is exactly the same as the hypothesis $C^2=CC^T$. More seriously, we prove the following:
Proposition: Let $C\in\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{R})$ s.t. $CC^T=C^2$. Then $C$ is symmetric.
Proof: $C^2$ is a symmetric real matrix s.t. $C^2\geq 0$. We may assume $C^2=diag(0_k,U)$ where $U>0$. $C$ and $C^2$ commute ; then $C=diag(V,W)$ where $V,W$ are real matrix s.t. $VV^T=V^2=0_k$ and $WW^T=W^2=U$. Clearly $W$ is invertible and consequently symmetric. Now $VV^T=0_k$ implies that the singular values of $V$ are zero. Thus $V=0_k$ and we are done.
Remark: The problem is more difficult over $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ except if we replace $C^T$ with $C^*$.

Nvidia adds ARM platform support to CUDA GPU programming
NVidia has just released their first previews of CUDA5.5 with their usual collection of new bells and whistles, but one big one shows up in this version: Native ARM support for the classis CUDA toolchain.
Nvidia says combining high-performance CUDA-enabled GPU accelerators with low-power ARM-based systems on a chip (SoCs) will enable ARM-based systems to penetrate new markets requiring the highest levels of energy-efficient compute performance. These market segments include: defense systems, automotive, energy exploration, mobile computing, robotics, scientific research, HPC and others.
NVidia has been interested in ARM for a while now, with systems like Tegra and their growing interested in the mobile space. With this release, you can now take advantage of GPU acceleration with familiar CUDA toolsets, without having to rebuild things in other exotic systems.

CEDAR RAPIDS – The Des Moines Area Community College softball team suffered back-to-back losses to Kirkwood Community College during Thursday's Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) doubleheader.
The matchup featured two of the top teams in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II standings. The Bears (31-5) are ranked No. 6 in the latest national poll while the Eagles (40-3) entered the contest ranked No. 3.
Kirkwood scored in the bottom of the seventh inning to win 1-0 in the opener. The Eagles took the nightcap, 13-5.
With the losses, DMACC fell to 18-4 in the ICCAC standings. Kirkwood improved to 20-0 in league play, claiming its 33rd straight victory. The Bears are in second place in the conference, sitting three games behind the Eagles.
DMACC's Mari Silliman was nearly flawless in the loss, tossing a two-hitter. The sophomore from Winterset struck out a season-high 17 batters, but surrendered a home run during the seventh inning. Silliman's season record dropped to 16-2.
The Bears were limited to just three hits in the game. Ali Miner led DMACC as the sophomore from Waukee smacked a double. Sophomore Kourtni Robinson, of Pleasant Hill, and freshman Allie Fitzgerald, of Des Moines, added singles.
The Bears grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the second game, but Kirkwood answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning and took control with a four-run rally in the second. DMACC trimmed the lead to 7-5 with four runs in the fourth. The Eagles scored one run in the bottom of the inning and closed out the game with five runs in the fifth.
Sophomore Kenzie Alstott, of Fort Dodge, and Fitzgerald keyed the Bears' nine-hit attack with two hits apiece in the second game. Alstott and Fitzgerald scored one run each. Fitzgerald also drove in a run.
Britney Lee pitched the first two innings while taking the loss. Lee (12-3), a sophomore from Ada, Okla., gave up seven runs (four earned) on seven hits, struck out two and walked three. DMACC committed three errors in the game.
Ally Netty threw two and two-third innings. The freshman from Waterloo yielded six runs on six hits, struck out one and walked three.
Sophomore Kaili Wells, of Topeka, Kan.; freshman Katlin Briley, of Creston, and Miner each belted run-scoring singles in the loss. The Bears also received singles from sophomore Jayden Ott, of Nora Springs, and Robinson.
Sophomores Carlee Grunder, of Wilton; Ashley Madsen, of Cedar Rapids, and Wells also scored runs for DMACC.
The Bears travel to Mason City for today's twin bill against North Iowa Area Community College (10-11). DMACC faces Iowa Lakes Community College (10-19) in tomorrow's doubleheader at Estherville.

WWE has signed many names that don't fit their stereotypical (6'2 220 pounds of muscle) criteria in recent years, especially over the last six months.
I'm told while the success of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan has played a factor recently, Triple H is seen as the underlining factor. Hunter's philosophy regarding talent on the indy scene has changed over the years. While he'd prefer talent to have more muscle, he feels workers that have had success on the indy scene are more dedicated to the business and don't flake out as easy. The enforcement of WWE's Wellness Policy as well as injuries related to PED's, not to mention the negative publicity in the "post-Benoit era," have also been contributing factors to his change of heart.
My source pointed specifically to Punk, Bryan and Dean Ambrose and commented how all three would have been seen as nothing more than "indy guys" just a little over a decade ago. The bottom-line is Hunter is committed to WWE having a deeper talent pool with workers that have talent (and experience) and even Vince McMahon has been more open to it.

George Shearing: Lullaby of Birdland
Lullaby of Birdland
George Shearing (piano)
The Definitive George Shearing (Verve 314 589 857-2)
George Shearing (piano), Al McKibbon (bass),
Joe Roland (vibes), Dick Garcia (guitar), Marquis Foster (drums).
Composed by George Shearing.
Recorded: New York, July 17, 1952
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
In 1952, inspiration struck George Shearing just as he was biting into his char-broiled steak. "What's wrong?" asked his wife, afraid he didn't like her cooking. George dashed to the piano and, within 10 minutes, finished a theme song for midtown Manhattan's "Jazz Corner of the World." The royalties kept him in gravy for decades. His tasty tune was char-broiled >400 times by jazz artists, with countless warm-overs by non-jazz chefs from Pérez Prado and Bill Haley to The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic and The Muppets. Early birds may get the worm, but latecomers can still enjoy steak.

The Park is in a small village, on the first stage of the Galician section of the Way of Saint James pilgrimage route as you approach on the traditional itinerary from France. For centuries this village, which is home to a 9th-century pre-Romanesque shrine, has seen numerous pilgrims come and go. The museum is located within a palloza, the typical dwellings of the Os Ancares region. These are houses built of slate or granite, usually with a conical, thatched roof. These pallozas are an example of how the village has managed to conserve its traditions over the centuries, and has learnr to adapt to the high-mountain environment of Lugo province. Inside you can see the simple furniture and household utensils typical of the rural way of life.

The Jarring Sounds duo of mezzo Danielle Reutter-Harrah and Adam Cockerham performing on both guitar and lute has announced plans for their concerts to be given in San Francisco during the coming months of September and October. These concerts will reflect the group's ongoing interests, which divide themselves equally between some of the earliest and some of the most recent approaches to making music. Details for the coming three concerts are as follows:
Friday, September 5, 7:30 p.m., Center for New Music (C4NM): Jarring Sounds will join forces with soprano Amy Foote and bassoonist Alexis Luque to present a program showcasing the music of San Francisco composer Kyle Hovatter. Hovatter gave up his undergraduate major in chemistry to focus on music, studying with Robert Coburn and Francois Rose at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. After moving to San Francisco, he studied composition with Elinor Armer at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He is currently Director of Music at Zion Lutheran Church in San Francisco. He is also a member of the International Orange Chorale of San Francisco and maintains a private piano studio. Hovatter's C4NM program, entitled As a Fowl, will focus on settings of poetry by Elinor Wylie, T. E. Hulme, and Sara Teasdale. Jarring Sounds, Foote, and Luque will each premiere one of his compositions, after which all four performers will collaborate in a joint piece.
C4NM is located at 55 Taylor Street, about half a block north of Market Street on the west side. Tickets will be $15 for general admission and $10 for C4NM members. Tickets will be available only at the door.
Sunday, September 21, San Francisco Conservatory of Music: SFMusic Day, organized annually by the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music will actually begin at 8 p.m. on Saturday and continue through 7 p.m. on Sunday, using most of the performing spaces in the Conservatory building. Jarring Sounds, which performed at last year's SFMusic Day, has a slot on the schedule for Sunday; but the specific time has not yet been announced. As always, admission will be free for all SFMusic Day performances. The Conservatory is located at 50 Oak Street, a short walk from the Muni Van Ness station.
Friday, October 17, 8 p.m., Old First Church: For about a year Jarring Sounds has been performing a program entitled Evolution Through Transcription: Transcriptions & arrangements for voice & plucked strings. This program explores compositions from both the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the twentieth century. The transcriptions have been provided by a variety of arrangers, including both contemporaries of the composers and Cockerham himself.
Jarring Sounds will bring this program, as it has developed, to the Old First Concerts series, which takes place on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons at Old First Church. The venue is located at 1751 Sacramento Street on the southeast corner of Van Ness Avenue. General admission is $17 with a special $14 rate for seniors aged 65 and older and $5 for full-time students. Tickets may be purchased through the Old First Concerts Web site; but, as of this writing, event pages have only been set up through September. Further information may be obtained by calling 415-474-1608.

Excellent product................... Somewhat pricey.
I've been using the Bosca monthly minder / phone index for thirteen (13) years. It's well made and designed to take a lot of abuse. After all these years, it still looks good......................... Thanks.

Essential to My Life
It's the first thing I look at in the a.m. before I power up. Despite all of the electronic devices we have, I depend on the old school written scoop for me and my family! It's traditional and classic - I've saved them forever and they're like a diary of my family!

Can't live without it - even in this age of electronic devices I have used this for more than ten years!
I've used this monthly minder as a calendar of events, both business and personal, for me and my family for more than ten years. In this age of electronic devices it's still the best for keeping track of appointments, events, and meetings for our entire family. Although I have a laptop and iphone, I still prefer using this on my desk daily!

Using Kindle in Kuwait
July 18, 2012 5 Comments
I asked my cousin to get me the new $79 Kindle, when he comes back from the States. I told him to buy the cheapest one, the one that's sold for just $79. This version comes with ads, but I don't mind, because they only appear on the screen saver or at the bottom of the home page, and never when I'm actually reading my book.
Now, I'm not new to Kindle. I got a second generation Kindle for my birthday 3-4 years ago, and I've been using it almost daily since then. That Kindle comes with a wireless connection, so you can buy books and update the software. But the wireless service never worked in Kuwait, and the book buying issue was somewhat sneaky (you've got to set up a new amazon account, with a US address, then buy credit vouchers from your regular account and claim it there… quite a lengthy process). Plus, I could never get the date right, because that too has to be done from the States.
So this time round, I made sure to ask my cousin to turn the Kindle on the minute he bought it, just so that it could get connected to wifi there, and sync the date\time. I told him not to bother with anything else like registration or sign in. Just turn the Kindle on for a minute, then turn it off. That's all he did.
Now here's the good news. When I got it in Kuwait, I was able to immediately connect it to my wireless router, enter the passport, register it, and even update the software. Now only that, but I could also download books from my old Kindle library (that literally takes 3 seconds to do). Obviously, I registered it to my other amazon account, the one with the US address and all.
I'm loving this new simplicity. The new Kindle is super easy to use and very practical. Plus, there's always a wifi connection to get new books and stuff, so you're never bored.
But I think I like reading on my old Kindle more. That ink there is soft grayish, where as it's dark black on the new Kindle. Either way, I will still be using both.
So there you have it. There won't be a problem in using your new Kindle in Kuwait.
Mark of 248am has a great review of the Kindle, you have to check out his review too [link].

How to unlock pier in cityville?
This page has a list of all the quests and what you need to do to complete them. The Pier is near the middle of the "tree", right after build a school. It requires you to have 3 expansions and lay 3 roads.
The Zynga forums have a huge thread about this particular quest not unlocking for people. The solution that is offered again and again is to clear up other quests that you have been assigned. Apparently there is a limit to the number of quests you can be assigned at one time, which means the Pier quest (or one of the ones leading up to it) might be blocked. So if you haven't seen the quest yet, just keep working on other ones you have and it should eventually show up.

Three Squaw Valley athletes – Julia Mancuso, Travis Ganong, Nate Holland – have also secured a spot on this year's U.S. Winter Olympic team. A fourth Squaw Valley athlete – Marco Sullivan – is still in the running for a berth on the Winter Olympics team.
Here's a look at the confirmed three Winter Olympians from Squaw Valley.
Julia Mancuso, skiing: Born in Reno, she was the gold medalist in the giant slalom at the 2006 Winter Olympics and the silver medalist in both downhill and combined at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
As a four-event athlete from the beginning, Mancuso started World Cup racing and was a NorAm champion at 16, competed in the Olympics at 17, set a U.S. mark for Junior World Championships medals before she was out of her teens, and then started her twenties by capturing two World Championships medals.
She splits her time between Squaw Valley, Hawaii and hotel rooms across the globe. In between, she has captured more major championship medals than any other American woman with eight – three Olympic and five World Championship.
Nate Holland, snowboarder cross: This will be Holland's third Olympics. He competed for USA at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, where he finished 14th, and at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, where he finished fourth.
With seven X Games gold medals Nate Holland has enough precious metal to gild his driveway by now.
Born and raised in northern Idaho, Holland developed a taste for adventure at a young age that has carried him throughout his career. A snowboardcross specialist, Nate defines the sports chaotic style by going all-out in every race. The 2012 winter was no different for Holland, earning his seventh X Games gold, and two World Cup podiums before bowing out with a broken shoulder blade.
Travis Ganong, skiing: He knows how to pick a line down a racecourse and in the backcountry, but it was the line set by his older sisters, Megan and Ali, that helped reel him into ski racing.
Ganong launched his World Cup career in 2010 and has quickly become a leading member of the future downhill greats club. It's not about points anymore for Ganong; it's about when his first World Cup podium will happen.
The Squaw Valley charger posted top 30 finishes in all but two World Cup downhills last season, including a career best seventh on the gnarly Stelvio speed track in Bormio, Italy. Add it all up and he pinned a personal best 18th in the season-long downhill standings. He then celebrated by winning super G gold at the Nature Valley U.S. Alpine Championships held on his home snow in Squaw.
Marco Sullivan, skier: He grew up skiing in Lake Tahoe with skiing in his soul. He was on a ski hill in his earliest memory, coming down a snow-covered gravel hill in his backyard at three.
He learned to go fast on some of the gnarliest terrain at Squaw Valley and was a promising four-event skier before he started to concentrate on downhill. It's all about the speed.
For Sullivan, the 2013 season proved to be his best since he rocked his first World Cup win in 2008. A season-opening downhill podium in Lake Louise set the pace for "Sully" to finish 14th in the season-long standings. For a downhiller, being in the top 15 draw is prime real estate. What makes it even more impressive is that he opted to skip the Bormio, Italy DH.

Coma is the newest food truck to hit the streets of Vancouver. A fusion of Korean (Co), Mexican (M) and American (A) delivers an interesting and new taste to the city.
Located primarily near the Main Street-Science World skytrain station (just across Pacific Central Station), I was inclined to check out the food on opening day. Although it was raining, it didn't seem to deter people from trying out the new food truck. This includes a fellow food lover I recently met, Lloyd aka Go Munch! Check out his site here. I'll post up the link to his review once it's available and look out for …… #gastromunch..!?!
Before I continue, I would like to mention that the meal was complimentary. Be it complimentary or out of my own pocket, I will always provide an honest review for the sake of my readers.
This was their menu, fairly priced and mostly under $7 per dish.
The first dish I tried was the Stuffed Seaweed Rolls ($4.99), it was deep fried deliciousness! Inside there's some vegetables and sweet potato noodles wrapped in seaweed. I definitely enjoyed the crispy outside layer, the inside was not too sweet and very savoury.
Next up was the "Choongmoo Kimbap" ($5.99) which is basically a plate that consists of several pieces of Korean style sushi (with just the rice and very tasty seaweed) and it's served with kimchi, japchae and Korean style marinated beef (you can also get it with pork). I was very surprised how tasty plain rice and Korean-style seaweed was!
The beef that was marinated was chock-full of flavour, salty, sweet and moist. I was also told that the kimchi is made by the chef of Coma Food Truck.
The Kimchi Quesadilla ($5.99) is definitely a fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisine. What makes it Korean? The kimchi, tofu and choice of vegetables. What makes it Mexican? The tortilla, cheese and the salsa roja (which is a blend of spicy salsa and some Korean seasoning). We found the quesadilla to be a little soggy, but it was probably because we didn't eat it right away.
Bibimbap ($6.99) is a rice bowl with veggies, eggs, Korean marinated BBQ beefs with spicy sauce. You must mix the bowl to get the full flavour! Very tasty and a good portion.
Finally, the Korean-style BBQ Burritos ($5.99), chock full of cheese, veggies, kimchi and a good portion of Korean style beef (or pork) wrapped in a burrito. The burrito is gigantic and can easily feed two people or one starving person!
Check out their menu, current location here.
I love Korean food, many of my friends don't share the same passion of kimchi and spicy flavours, but I love it! All the foods I got to try were full of flavour and you can really tell the chef put his heart into carefully selecting those flavours. The food is best eaten right away, as with any other kind of food, can become soggy.
Ambiance: n/a
Because it's a food truck, I don't feel it's necessary to give it a score for ambiance. The truck is brand new, clean and large.
The portions were fair for the pricing. A great place to get a meal under $10. I find a lot of food trucks are fairly expensive for what they are, but Coma is affordable.
Service :
I think that since it was their first day, they were a bit frazzled but it seemed like they kept things under control. They make everything "made to order" so you may have to give a couple more minutes to wait for your food – but you get it fresh! The chef/owner was very friendly and came to talk to many of the customers that came by.

Believe In Santa Foundation: Santa visits sick children at Palm Beach Children's Hospital
It was Christmas in July for some kids at Palm Beach Children's Hospital in West Palm Beach on Friday.
Santa Claus tried to put smiles on the faces of dozens of kids by giving out presents and giving them words of encouragement.
Santa's visit was part of the Believe In Santa Foundation.
The kids also got to play in the "snow" on this hot summer day.

|Supplemental Material
Transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants expressing a fragment of the Sl SDH2-2 gene encoding the iron sulfur subunit of the succinate dehydrogenase protein complex in the antisense orientation under the control of the 35S promoter exhibit an enhanced rate of photosynthesis. The rate of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle was reduced in these transformants, and there were changes in the levels of metabolites associated with the TCA cycle. Furthermore, in comparison to wild-type plants, carbon dioxide assimilation was enhanced by up to 25% in the transgenic plants under ambient conditions, and mature plants were characterized by an increased biomass. Analysis of additional photosynthetic parameters revealed that the rate of transpiration and stomatal conductance were markedly elevated in the transgenic plants. The transformants displayed a strongly enhanced assimilation rate under both ambient and suboptimal environmental conditions, as well as an elevated maximal stomatal aperture. By contrast, when the Sl SDH2-2 gene was repressed by antisense RNA in a guard cell-specific manner, changes in neither stomatal aperture nor photosynthesis were observed. The data obtained are discussed in the context of the role of TCA cycle intermediates both generally with respect to photosynthetic metabolism and specifically with respect to their role in the regulation of stomatal aperture.
