College Hockey:Elmira and Plattsburgh New Co-Number Ones
St. Norbert Inches Up to Third, Hobart and Middlebury Fall Seven and Six Spots, Respectively; New England College Makes Its Poll Debut
Minneapolis — The BCS has nothing on D-III hockey. For the fourth time in six polls, there is a new king in college hockey. Actually two: its a dual monarchy.
Each tallying 283 points, Elmira and Plattsburgh are the new number ones in Division III hockey. 7-0-1 and 11-1-0, respectively, the Eagles did receive nine first place votes to the Cardinals eight.
Previous number five St. Norbert (two first place votes) and former top dog Wisconsin-River Falls (one vote) were third and fourth in the latest poll. Buoyed by its impressive 10-1-1 mark, neighboring state school UW-Stout jumped up three spots to number five nationally.
After splitting contests with new co-number one Elmira (loss) and formerly second-ranked Hobart (win), Manhattanville remained at sixth. Little talked about St. Thomas — resounding 5-0 winners over then-top ranked UW-River Falls — rocketed up three spots to seventh while still undefeated Babson (6-0-1) walloped Trinity and Wesleyan by a combined margin of 12-1 to move up a rung to eighth.
Hobart precipitously dropped seven spots to ninth after losing to Manhattanvile (3-1) and Utica (3-2) while Southern Maine rode its upset of then-seventh ranked Middlebury (and a 4-4 deadlock with Williams) to an improved standing of tenth in the country.
The Norwich Cadets remain at eleven while Bowdoin continues to flex its offensive muscle (4-1 and 10-5 victories) in rising two spots to No. 12. The second roughest week — behind Hobart — belongs unceremoniously to Middlebury, who despite topping Salem State before losing to then-No. 14 Southern Maine, dropped six spots in the poll.
Defending champion Oswego and poll newcomer New England College (4-0-1) — 9-1, 4-3, and 3-1 winners this past week — each received 41 points to tie for No. 14. After being crushed by then-fifth ranked St. Norbert, 6-2, last weeks No. 13 UW-Superior dropped out of the poll.

The theoretical Chemical Physics program at Ames Laboratory supports integrated efforts in electronic structure theory and non-equilibrium statistical mechanical & multiscale modeling. The primary focus is on the development and application of methods that enable the study of surface phenomena, heterogeneous catalysis, cluster science and nucleation theory, and mechanisms in organometallic chemistry.
Electronic structure theory efforts involve PIs Mark Gordon, Klaus Ruedenberg and Theresa Windus and staff scientists Laimutis Bytautas and Mike Schmidt. These integrate development of fundamental theory (expanding the capability for accurate treatment of large or complex systems of interest to DOE), with optimal strategies for computational implementation within GAMESS and NWChem. A collaboration between Gordon and Ruedenberg and Ho and Wang (AL Condensed Matter Physics – CMP Program) is providing a rigorous basis for tight-binding methods which are of great use for studies of a diverse variety of surface and materials systems.
Efforts in non-equilibrium statistical mechanical and multiscale modeling of surface reaction phenomena by PI Jim Evans and staff scientist Da-Jiang Liu are often integrated with electronic structure studies in a close collaboration with Gordon. In studies related specifically to surface structure, Evans collaborates with Tringides, Hupalo, Ho and Wang (AL Condensed Matter Physics program and DOE CMSN), and both Evans and Liu collaborate with Thiel and Jenks (AL Materials Chemistry Program). Our modeling of heterogeneous catalysis also relates to experimental chemisorption studies by Thiel (AL Materials Chemistry Program).
Efforts by Gordon on organometallic systems and on metal oxide surfaces are largely related to collaborations with experimental colleagues Angelici, Pruski and Bakac (AL Heteroatom Catalysis Program), and separate electronic structure and statistical mechanical modeling by Gordon and Evans relates to studies by Lin, Pruski, Bakac and Sadow (AL Selective & Efficient Catalysis in 3D Controlled Environments Program – abbreviated as 3D Catalysis). Gordon also collaborates with Battaglia and Fox to determine the complex kinetics and mechanisms for the chemical vapor deposition of silicon carbide, starting from the methyltrichlorosilane precursor (NERI project).
A few highlights are included in the following paragraphs. Detailed information on any of these topics can be obtained from the links below to the principal investigators' web pages.
Atomistic and multi-scale modeling for catalysis and other surface reaction processes
Realistic atomistic (statistical mechanical) models have been developed for catalytic surface reactions such as CO-oxidation on metal(100) surfaces. These incorporate molecular-level information on interactions and ordering of adsorbed reactants, as well as on adsorption-desorption and reaction dynamics and energetics. These models are applied to assess bifurcations of reactive steady states, temperature-programmed reaction, novel phenomena for higher pressures and in fluctuation-dominated nanoscale reaction systems (such as supported metal catalysts). Heterogeneous multi-scale techniques (e.g., HCLG) are being developed to connect these models to mesoscale spatial pattern formation. Other work uses both atomistic and coarse-grained modeling to describe, e.g., etching processes which couple reaction to complex surface morphologies. These modeling efforts are integrated with ab-initio electronic structure studies (e.g., embedded cluster, DFT) which provide guidance to key energies and barriers.
Quantum mechanical electronic structure theory of chemical reactions
A major focus is the prediction of accurate energies along reaction paths on potential energy surfaces. Transition states, reaction mechanisms and conical intersections are among the features of particular interest. In this context, methods are developed for highly accurate quantum mechanical treatments of electron correlation and their quality is assured by reproducing experimental spectra of small molecules with diverse electronic structures. For the description of larger systems, methods of embedding high accuracy methods within zones of simpler methods are developed.
Other work is aimed at lowering the communication hurdle between quantum-chemical theorists and experimental chemists that exists because the functional concept of molecules formed by bonded atoms, validated by two hundred years of experimentation, does not emerge trivially from the basic physical theory of electrons and nuclei. The rigorous ab-initio quantification of the chemical model from physical theory is the focus of current work on the localization of molecular orbitals, the rigorous quantitative identification of atoms in ab-initio molecular wavefunctions and the resolution of ab-initio binding energies in terms of interpretable intra- and inter-atomic interactions.

Reviews for last years Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade keep popping up. This one posted to the Diamond Comics Bookshelf site, by Doctor Katie Monnin, where she discusses using comics as an educational tool:
"For anyone who has ever wondered if the young adult, middle-level superhero graphic novel could appeal to today's students, look no further! I am pleased to introduce you to the brilliant, contemporarily appropriate (not to mention hilarious!) Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade. The clever writing of Landry Q. Walker and his subtle understanding of today's young adult population will surely capture your students' interests. Even the artwork is contemporary and smart. The spatial-brilliance of Eric Jones not only leads the young adult reader from one well drawn moment to the next, but also reinforces the significance behind why we should teach today's young adults to be both print-text and image-text literate."
On the same page she reviews the work of Matt Kindt. I've always thought his work was brilliant, and I highly recommend people check out anything he might be working on.

Although many organ functions rely on epithelial tubes with correct dimensions, mechanisms underlying tube size control are poorly understood. We analyse the cellular mechanism of tracheal tube elongation in Drosophila, and describe an essential role of the conserved tyrosine kinase Src42A in this process. We show that Src42A is required for polarized cell shape changes and cell rearrangements that mediate tube elongation. In contrast, diametric expansion is controlled by apical secretion independently of Src42A. Constitutive activation of Src42A induces axial cell stretching and tracheal overelongation, indicating that Src42A acts instructively in this process. We propose that Src42A-dependent recycling of E-Cadherin at adherens junctions is limiting for cell shape changes and rearrangements in the axial dimension of the tube. Thus, we define distinct cellular processes that independently control axial and diametric expansion of a cylindrical epithelium in a developing organ. Whereas exocytosis-dependent membrane growth drives circumferential tube expansion, Src42A is required to orient membrane growth in the axial dimension of the tube.

The norm is defined as ||A||=sup{ ||A*v*||} ||v||=1 I do not know why it is an eigenvalue of a product of A^tA not simply an eigenvalue of A. How to proceed? Thank You in advance for the answers.

This question came from our site for people interested in statistics, machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and data visualization.
The singular value decomposition of A gives us orthogonal matrices U, V and a diagonal matrix S such that
Since U and V are orthogonal, we have ||U|| = ||V|| = 1. Therefore, for all vectors x, we have
||A x|| = ||S x||.
Since S is the diagonal matrix containing the singular values of A (which by definition are the roots of the eigenvalues of A^T A), the x' which maximizes ||S x|| is the unit vector e_1 = (1, 0, ..., 0) assuming the singular values in S are sorted in descending order of magnitude.
Let s be the largest singular value, then we have
||A|| = ||A x'|| = ||S x'|| = ||S * e_1|| = ||e_1 * s|| = s.
So, the norm of A is indeed the largest singular value s of A, which is the root of the largest eigenvalue of A^T A.

LOS ANGELES - Despite playing without its top singles player and one-half of its No. 1 doubles team, the fourth-ranked UCLA women's tennis team posted a solid 5-2 victory over No. 37 Pepperdine Saturday at The Los Angeles Tennis Center. With the win, the Bruins improve to 3-0 on the year and will take a perfect record into next week's USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Madison, Wisc.
The loss of sophomore Daniela Bercek, who did not play Saturday due to illness, forced UCLA head coach Stella Sampras Webster to rearrange her lineup. It didn't appear to affect the Bruins at all in doubles, as UCLA cruised to victories on all three courts to claim the point.
In singles play, UCLA's Riza Zalameda and Laura Gordon both turned in outstanding performances in Bercek's absence. Zalameda, who was playing her first dual match at the No. 1 position, posted a 6-2, 6-3 victory over 52nd-ranked Natalie Braverman. Gordon, who has been injured and was only expected to play doubles on Saturday, defeated Pepperdine's Lise Sissler, 6-0, 6-4 at the No. 6 spot.
Down 3-0 in the dual match, Pepperdine got on the board when 65th-ranked Caroline Raba defeated No. 122 Alex McGoodwin, 6-3, 6-4 at court No. 2. However, UCLA clinched the match moments later when Sarah Gregg knocked off No. 119 Sylvia Kosakowski, 6-0, 7-5 at court No. 4.
With the Bruins ahead 4-1 and the dual match already decided, play still continued on two courts. Next to finish was court No. 5, where 125th-ranked Elizabeth Lumpkin defeated Pepperdine's Eva Dickes, 7-6(4), 6-2. The Waves won the final match of the day at court No. 3, as No. 57 Bianca Dulgheru defeated UCLA freshman Tracy Lin, 6-3, 7-5.
UCLA will be at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoors next Thursday through Sunday (Feb. 3-6). The Bruins' next home match will be on Feb. 12 against Fresno State beginning at 1:30 p.m.
1. McGoodwin/Zalameda (UCLA) def. Kosakowski/Raba (Pepp) - 8-3
2. Gordon/Lumpkin (UCLA) def. Dickes/Dulgheru (Pepp) - 8-6
3. Gregg/Lin (UCLA) def. Braverman/Sissler (Pepp) - 8-0
UCLA wins doubles point
1. (9) Riza Zalameda (UCLA) def. (52) Natalie Braverman (Pepp) - 6-2, 6-3
2. (65) Caroline Raba (Pepp) def. (122) Alex McGoodwin (UCLA) - 6-3, 6-4
3. (57) Bianca Dulgheru (Pepp) def. Tracy Lin (UCLA) - 6-3, 7-5
4. Sarah Gregg (UCLA) def. (119) Sylvia Kosakowski (Pepp) - 6-0, 7-5
5. (125) Elizabeth Lumpkin (UCLA) def. Eva Dickes (Pepp) - 7-6(4), 6-2
6. Laura Gordon (UCLA) def. Lise Sissler (Pepp) - 6-0, 6-4

Delighted Party
Posted by Cindy on Thursday, October 20th, 2011
We had a delightful time at Amanda's launch party. We made mini pincushions out of bottle caps....(which we will be making at the Spark event Friday night).
Everything in the room was decorated with her new line including this doll house put together by Amanda's husband. Welcome home Amanda.
The charm was in all of the details.
She had a great turn out...this was at the end of the evening when everyone was heading home. Sorry I wish I had better pictures, I forgot my Nikon camera and had to use my pocket camera.
Amanda knows how to throw a party and her fabric creations inspired everyone in the room. If you missed this event we will show many of these items at Quilt Market.
The great thing about an event like this is meeting new people. I got to meet April and she just launched her blog seeaprilsew.blogspot.com yesterday. April took great pictures that showcase sooo many more Delighted items.
Take a look and tell me your favorite Amanda creation from my blog or Aprils.

Dear Think,
Your readers may be interested to hear that the mayor of Chatham, Ontario who organized the mass killing of crows (as described in last month's Think) has been arrested for possession of a dangerous weapon. This reinforces the pattern seen time and time again, that people who are violent towards animals are very often violent towards humans.

Gee, I can't believe you guys have had such a hassle at that travel agency you've been writing about! And their lawyers wrote to you and everything! Let me tell you what happened to me! I wasn't really interested in going anywhere, but I like to bother salespeople, it's just kind of how I am.
So I went in figuring I'd spend a few minutes asking about places I didn't really want to go. But the girl was so friendly and really open and nice, I had to confess that I wasn't really interested in traveling.
She said, "Oh, you're just looking?
We have a Special Offer for people who are just looking! Come with me!" Well, I might not have followed her to the ends of the earth, but I had no trouble following her to the back room, which was huge and dark, laid out with Persian carpets and poufs, thick with incense smoke and heavy with exotic scents.
No sooner had we entered, than she pushed me down onto a pile of thick soft pillows and whispered, "Are you sure you don't want to take a trip with me?"
The foremost points of her anatomy were squishing pleasantly against me. I said, "Er, where?" and she let out a throaty laugh.
"I lead," she whispered into my ear, "You follow." Wow. Quicker than I could think, she had all of my clothes off and was massaging parts of me I'd need an atlas to find again. Over the next six hours first she, then one by one, the rest of the sales staff took turns kneading, caressing... well, I don't need to go into detail, this is a family magazine.
But suffice to say, I've been back there since and I don't intend to stop! This is my kind of travel agency! And they've never even once asked to see my ISIC card! !

College Hockey:No Surprises: Harvard Shuts Out Princeton
PRINCETON, N.J. — If one were to look at the records of Harvard (11-6-2, 7-4-1 ECACHL) and Princeton (6-13-1, 4-8 ECACHL) entering Friday night, one might have predicted that Harvard would come away with a convincing win.
And despite the fact that the Crimson hadn't played a game in 20 days while Princeton, a team creating buzz this season with its marked improvement, was coming off a solid victory Tuesday, that's exactly what happened.
Seven different players scored in Harvard's 7-0 rout, including three who tallied their first goals of the season. Head coach Ted Donato was pleased to see the productive offense.
"It's great to see," he said. "We, to this point, haven't scored a ton of goals five-on-five. The majority of the goals we scored tonight were five-on-five, so I think that's a good sign. In order for us to beat teams down the stretch we can't rely on special teams."
Princeton was on its heels from the start as Harvard took the lead 37 seconds in. During a goal-mouth scramble, right wing Ryan Maki got the puck to Steve Mandes, who knocked the puck in past a scrambling B.J. Sklapsky.
Then, with under four minutes to go in the first, Harvard subjected the Princeton defense to an offensive frenzy. At one point the puck was trickling behind a fallen Sklapsky towards the open net, but Sklapsky used his stick to hook it away, much to the delight of Tiger fans.
However, Princeton could not clear the zone, and Harvard defenseman Peter Hafner capitalized on a shot from the point that sailed over Sklapsky's shoulder and shook the back of the net to make it 2-0 at 16:39.
Then with 1:35 left in the first, Maki picked up another assist when he passed the puck from behind the Princeton goal line across the slot to center Kevin Du, who deposited it into a yawning net to go up by 3.
The Mandes-Du-Maki line played strong all night, and Mandes and Du finished with a goal and an assist each. Maki had two assists.
"That line was great for us tonight," Donato said. "It was nice to see Steve Mandez score. He's a Philly kid, and he had 20 people here for him tonight. He's been a very good player for us. A lot of things he does don't show up on the score sheet. I was happy for him, and his whole line played great. Kevin Du has been outstanding the last two games, and Ryan Maki was also excellent."
In the second period, Princeton forward Ian McNally was called for high-sticking at 6:36, and it took Harvard just 13 seconds to capitalize on the power play as forward Jon Pelle worked the puck to defenseman Noah Welch, who beat Sklapsky from the point. The Crimson's fourth goal of the night sent Sklapsky to the bench with less than half the game over. He finished the night with 13 saves on 17 shots.
"We had two chances to freeze the puck and it didn't happen," Princeton head coach Guy Gadowsky said of the Crimson goals. "You look at the shots from the blue line that went in, [they] can't go in, but you know what, it's a team game. We win as a team."
Freshman Jeff Mansfield took over for Princeton between the pipes, but he fared no better as Harvard scored again 1:41 later. From the neutral zone, defenseman Ryan Lannon sent forward Rob Flynn in on a breakaway. He skated in on Mansfield and beat him glove side to stretch the Crimson lead to 5-0.
"We have a chance to get back tomorrow," Gadowsky said. "It's not going to happen without us giving more than we gave today, and it's not going to happen without us stopping pucks we have to stop. We have to give more. You can talk about the positives and what we've done, but we're coming up short, and tonight, a lot short."
At 6:59 of the third, defenseman Tom Walsh received a Mike Taylor pass and zipped a shot from the point past Mansfield. Like Hafner and Flynn, Walsh got his first goal of the season.
"It felt great," Walsh said. "It's been a long time. I've had some chances the first half of the season, so it was just good to get it, start off the second half nice, and hopefully we can keep it going."
Harvard put an exclamation point on the win with a Dave Watters goal as the final buzzer sounded.
"We knew we had to play very physical and get the puck in their end and just keep it down there," Walsh said. "We did a great job tonight getting it in. Our forwards really forechecked well. We really just played the body and took it to them. I think tonight was a great game for us, and I think we just have to play like that every night."
Princeton will finish its six-game homestand Saturday night against Brown while Harvard will travel to New Haven, Conn., to play Yale.
"This was an important game for us, and tomorrow I don't think we'll have to twist too many arms to get Harvard kids to play Yale," Donato said.

The first set ever to be made under what we would term as a "block system" was Ice Age: Set on the Dominarian continent of Terisiare, the concept of the sixth Magic expansion (released in 1995) was that centuries after the Sylex Blast in Argoth that caused Urza to ascend to planeswalkerhood and his brother Mishra's army to be destroyed, the climate of Terisiare changed to perpetual freezing winter. Players loved the idea of cultures struggling to survive in this Norse-themed setting, and the set was full of fun and powerful cards and the follow-up, Alliances, is perhaps even better-liked today for its forward-thinking multicolor theme.
Unfortunately, Homelands was released right after these (meaning this mechanically poor set, which took place on an entirely different plane called Ulgrotha, deprived the playerbase of a conclusion to the block). Coldsnap, of course, purported to be the "lost third Ice Age block set," and the original Terisiare block story was seen to a conclusion, but that set was mechanically lacking, and for various reasons we probably won't be going back to that precise setting in the near future. Still, "cold northland" is a venerable fantasy trope that's well-recognized but still holds a lot of interest, because Vikings are just that cool, and Mark Rosewater answered a related question quite positively on his Tumblr blog recently.
When esrix asked, "Will we ever see a frozen plane again? Not necessarily snow lands, but a plane like Hoth? We need more penguins is what I'm getting at," Rosewater responded:
Chances are high for a cold plane eventually.
The "Norse mythology block" proper (Ice Age took some influences from Scandinavia, but never really saw them out to the logical Ragnarok conclusion) is rather high on Rosewater's short list, so that could easily be the "cold plane" he refers to. Custom designers also rather like this trope; most notably, Guesswork's Dominaria block on MTGSalvation is based on the premise that all of the plane was once frozen over, and the Sylex merely returned it to its original state.

College Hockey:Tiger Offense Awakens For Split With Huskies
CC Nets Four Unanswered In Third
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — It may have taken five periods, but when Colorado College's offense finally arrived at the National Hockey Center late Saturday night it made quite a scene.
After falling behind 3-1 early in the third period, the Tigers erupted for four unanswered goals and avoided their first sweep of the season with a 5-3 win over St. Cloud State.
Brett Sterling and Joe Cullen scored goals 12 seconds apart a minute after the Huskies took their second two-goal lead of the night, and Sterling added another just over four minutes later to give CC its first lead of the weekend.
That was all before Peter Sejna, whose 31-game scoring streak came to end Friday night, added some insurance with a power-play goal to put an end to the Tigers' two-game losing streak, the longest of their season.
"To be able to come back and score those goals on the road , it was an amazing comeback," said CC head coach Scott Owens. "To do it at home is one thing, but on the road, that's just something else."
The Tigers beat the Huskies in pretty much every facet of the game. The offense put 54 shots on Jake Moreland, the power play worked three times and the goaltending was solid, with Curtis McElhinney turning away 30 shots.
"They won the special teams battle tonight," said SCSU coach Craig Dahl, who saw his Huskies split a weekend series for the eighth time this season. "That seemed to be the difference."
And what would eventually turn the tables on what could have been, to this point at least, the Huskies' most important weekend of the season.
Midway through the second, while killing off a penalty to Peter Szabo, Joe Motzko got caught for interference to give the Tigers a 5-on-3 for 1:13, of which they used all of 28 seconds before converting when Joe Cullen to swept home a rebound off a Tom Preissing shot to cut the Husky lead in half and grab some of the momentum that had been eluding them all weekend long.
"We had put 39 shots on goal (at that point)," said Owens. "It wasn't that we weren't getting chances, we just couldn't score and after we did we just told ourselves 'OK, let's go out there and see if we can win a period,' and we did."
In doing so, CC also proved that its offense isn't necessarily dependent on perimeter play. Yes, the Tigers can move the puck about as well as any team around, but on this night it was the tough, get in front of the net and fight for it type of goals that carried them to their 23rd win of the year.
Four of the goals, including both of Sterling's, came off a rebound or from a screen.
"Those were ugly goals," said Owens. "And were not for those types of goals … but that Sterling, he's a dog and he's not afraid to get down there and get into it and tonight we needed him."
"We had to fight all weekend long," said Sterling, who saw his try for the hat trick ring off the iron with just under three minutes to play. "But tonight was really big for us, we hadn't lost to much this year and it wasn't a feeling any of us liked, so we fought and got the two points."
It's still too early to officially move the MacNaughton Cup down I-25 from Denver to Colorado Springs, but with four games to play, it appears the Tigers don't have any plans on not winning the league.
"We still got two with Denver and two with Mankato; it's not going to be easy," said Sterling. "But yeah, it does creep into the back of your mind every once in a while, but we're not even looking past next weekend."
Neither is anybody else.

Activision should consider changing its company name to something like Guitar Hero Incorporated, because that seems to be the company's main focus lately. Don't believe me? Consider the latest announcement. Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero: Van Halen, DJ Hero and Band Hero are all coming to a console near you. Guitar Hero: Van Halen is tentatively scheduled for a release in the second half of 2009, but the rest of the games should be in stores this fall.
See that controller in the picture on the right? That's what you'll be using to play DJ Hero. The game lets players make remixes of popular songs and will feature music from a number of diverse genres, among them R&B and dance. While Guitar Hero fans will probably enjoy the gameplay, the music could help lure in a whole new legion of fans.
Guitar Hero 5 is the next installment of Guitar Hero. Like Guitar Hero: World Tour, it will be compatible with all of the instruments. Apparently the fifth edition will make it easier to change players and difficulty levels while you're playing the game. This could be a handy feature for every person who ever thought they were advanced enough to attempt the Hard version of a song, then realized a few bars in that they weren't ready.
Guitar Hero: Van Halen was just confirmed by Joystiq as the next entry in the Guitar Hero spin-offs where the game focuses mainly on a single band and its influences. Like Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and Guitar Hero: Metallica, it will feature some of Van Halen's hits along with music from bands that helped inspire or influence Van Halen's music.
The last game is Band Hero. To be honest, it sounds like a family-friendly version of Guitar Hero: World Tour. The game features top 40 hits instead of the rock songs we've come to expect in an Activision music game, will be rated "Everyone 10+" and be easier for beginners to play.
Okay, I'm going to level with you. If you're a Guitar Hero fan and you can't see a game you want in this news announcement, then something's wrong. Activision is seriously going above and beyond, offering every kind of music game you could possibly want. It's staggering, really. Activision hasn't announced what consoles everything will be appearing on, but I'm sure it'll be similar to Guitar Hero: World Tour and be on the big three (PS3, Wii, Xbox 360) and maybe the PS2 as well.
Then again, maybe Music Heroes Limited would be a better, and more appropriate company name. Activision is branching out after all.

Rated 5 out of 5�by sharon16 My Go-To Inserts Every time I purchase a new pair of running shoes I also purchase a new pair of inserts for those shoes. These have been my go-to inserts for a while now. I am satisfied that they will perform for me and do what I bought them for. They are comfortable and provide the shock absorption I need. June 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by onlydonna I would rate it with 5 stars-they are amazing I would definitely recommend the Sof Sole Athletes Plus Insole. My Podiatrist told me about them and I went right to Dick's to purchase a set. They certainly are amazing. I had been wearing just the heel part of a pair of orthotic's , but now I am wearing these totally in my tennis shoes. I am going to go and buy a spare pair, in case I need them for another pair of shoes. June 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Climber Lose the original insoles New pair of special operations style combat boots were a bit large and feet slid inside boots. Removed original insoles and installed these. No sliding, more comfortable carrying loads on broken ground and hills. June 1, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Lou44 Saved my daughter's cleats We went in looking for new cleats, even though the rubber cleats were still good and the outer part of the shoe looked great. My daughter had developed a callus on her big toe and her heels were hurting. After telling our shoe department representative at Dick's the issues we were having, he asked us if we had the cleats with us, which we did. After examining them, he ripped the insole out and showed us the wear on the insert and recommended we just replace it. Problem solved. $20 solution instead of the $70 new cleats we were considering.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Run Amazing I originally went into the store to purchase a more expensive pair of insoles. At the suggestion of the sales associate I tried these and love them. More bang for m buck May 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by HeatherB This product was very comfortable I was told the shoes I bought were "cheap" and adding these insols wouldn't make a difference! But, i put the insols in and it wasn't till the last half hour of and 8 hour shift that I started to realize my feet were hurting! So I feel these insols did a pretty darn good job!! May 19, 2016

TUCSON, Ariz. – A freshman came through with the biggest hit of his young career, and a veteran junior later delivered a walk-off single to give the University of Arizona baseball team a 3-2 victory over Stanford in 10 innings before a crowd of 3,082 on Friday night at Hi Corbett Field.
Arizona (19-28, 8-17 Pac-12) trailed by a run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth when freshman designated hitter Michael Hoard, who was hitless with three strikeouts in his previous at-bats, knocked home Trent Gilbert with a single to send the game to extra innings.
In the 10th inning, Gilbert came to bat with one out and runners at first and second. The junior second baseman slapped a line drive down the left field line, sending home Kevin Newman with the decisive run.
Gilbert finished 4-for-5 with the game-tying run and game-winning RBI.
The comeback was sparked by late-game timely hitting that avoided the Wildcats early on. Arizona was 0-for-6 batting with runners in scoring position over the first eight frames, but combined for three such hits in the final two innings.
Lost in the late-inning heroics was an impressive pitching duel between Stanford freshman right-hander Cal Quantrill and Arizona senior righty James Farris. Neither factored in the decision, but Farris was on the hook for a tough-luck loss after leaving with a 2-1 deficit with one down in the ninth.
Farris tossed 8.1 innings and allowed only two runs on 10 hits. He racked up five strikeouts and did not issue a walk.
His counterpart, Quantrill, turned in 7.2 strong innings with only one run allowed on four hits. He also struck out five, while issuing a pair of walks.
Closer A.J. Venegas inherited a two-out jam after the Wildcats put two on with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. But the right-hander came on to coax an inning-ending foul out to preserve a 2-1 lead for the Cardinal.
Stanford (22-21, 9-13 Pac-12) put a pair of runners on in the top of the ninth, but was unable to extend its one-run lead after Arizona called on closer Bobby Dalbec to record two quick outs and send the game to the bottom of the ninth inning.
That crucial frame started when Gilbert singled and was bunted to second by Tyler Krause. One out later, Riley Moore reached on a high-chop infield single that took too much time for the pitcher, Venegas to even attempt a throw to first base.
With the tying run to third base, Hoard shook off a rough day at the play to bounce a single up the middle.
The bottom of the 10th inning saw Zach Gibbons lead off with a single, but he was thrown out at second when Newman attempt to bunt him into scoring position. Instead, Scott Kingery singled and moved Newman to second, before Gilbert capped the game with his fourth hit of the night.
The Cardinal took the first lead of the game in the fourth with three-consecutive two-out singles. The final hit was tallied by Zach Hoffpauir, who drove in Alex Blandino.
The Wildcats tied the game in the home half of the fourth after Kingery led off with a single. He scooted to third on a hit-and-run single by Gilbert, and then scored on Krause's ground out.
Two innings later, Austin Slater hit a one-out double to left field, where Krause was unable to pick up the ball in the sun-setting twilight at dusk. Brant Whiting later put the Cardinal ahead with a sacrifice fly.
The two schools continue the three-game series on Saturday evening. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. (MST) with a live radio broadcast on 1290 AM.

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. [Earlier this year, its sister institution, the Illinois State Library (I.S.L.) began to celebrate the 175th anniversary of its establishment in 1839.] Formerly known as the Illinois State Historical Library, the name changed to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library with the opening of the new building in 2004.
The inaugural event, "Meet Jessie Palmer Weber," on April 6, 2014, is part of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library's yearlong celebration. Ms. Gwen Podeschi, Reference Librarian, will bring Jessie to life in a living history presentation; Glenna Schroeder-Lein, Manuscripts Librarian, will provide a biographical presentation, and Eileen Mackevich, Executive Director of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum, will welcome guests and make brief remarks.
Kathryn Harris, Library Services Director, invites librarians and the general public to "attend and enjoy an afternoon at the Presidential Library." The event will be held in the Library Atrium from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Mrs. Jessie Palmer Weber was Librarian at the Illinois State Historical Library from 1898 to 1926. Her appointment was suggested by Trustee George M. Black of Springfield. It was largely she who was responsible for expanding the collections, particularly with the genesis of the Lincoln Collection and the Illinois History Collection.
She was born the sixth daughter and eight child of General John McAuley Palmer (1817-1900), whose ancestor Thomas Palmer had arrived in Virginia in 1621. As a volunteer in the American Civil War, J.M. Palmer rose to the rank of major-general and served as military governor of Kentucky.
He served one term as Governor of Illinois as a Republican from 1869 to 1873 – between the first and second (of three) terms of his fellow major-general, Richard James Oglesby (1824-1899). General Palmer later served one term in the U.S. Senate from 1891 to 1897 as a Democrat.
Another ancestor, General Palmer's grandfather, Isaac Palmer, had served in the American War of Independence. Mrs. Weber was also an aunt of Brigadier General John McAuley Palmer (1870-1955).
In 1881, she married M.W. Weber. They had one child, daughter Malinda E. Weber.
Mrs. Palmer was also one of the founders of the Illinois State Historical Society, which incorporated in 1900. She served as Secretary & Treasurer for many years, having been elected for her first term in 1903 and re-elected many times thereafter. She was a member of the American Library Association, the National Association of State Librarians, the American Historical Association, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Authors' Club of Springfield.
In 1903, she was elected Second Vice-President of the National Association of State Librarians. She wrote An Outline for the Study of Illinois State History, which the University of Michigan Library published in 1905.
A portrait of Jessie Palmer Weber will be unveiled and a reception will follow. The public is invited to attend. If one wants to attend, RSVP online and select Special Events, or call (217) 558-8934.
The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum is a division of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency rather than a facility of the National Archives and Records Administration. It is funded in part through private donations funneled through the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation.

I'm a front-end dev who basically codes html/css/php; I have a Vaio Laptop and I chose to go with Ubuntu because of the ease of use of tools such as Git, the possibility to do native testing with a LAMP stack etc... The thing is, I need Photoshop for slicing; I receive PSDs from our Designer. These psd's do not open in GIMP. So after unsuccesfully trying to install Photoshop with WINE, I went for a Windows 7 Virtual Machine (VirtualBox).
But it's slow. It's painfully slow. I guess a single layer file would be OK but opening a PSD with 10 groups of 10 layers each... Basically the file takes 20" to load, but then switching layers from visible to hidden isn't really a pleasure to work with.
What would you suggest? Would it worth upgrading to 8GB of RAM and an SSD or I should consider a Macbook which is both Unix-like (term) and has Photoshop natively?
Or should I just use my home desktop beast of 16GB's + SSD?
I wish UBUNTU/Linux could run Photoshop - even through Wine.

The highlight of the morning was the Cougars' varsity four, garnering the top time of the women's collegiate four event on the 2,000-meter course. The Cougars posted a time of 7:29.64 to edge out No. 6 USC and qualify for the Grand Final Sunday morning. WSU finished over two seconds ahead of USC and four seconds ahead of No. 1 Virginia's second four in the heat.
In the varsity eight invitational event the Cougars grabbed a fourth-place finish with a time of 6:51.818 to advance to the Petite Final Sunday morning. WSU finished just two seconds behind UCLA and nearly six seconds ahead of fifth-place Texas.
The Cougars also competed in the second varsity eight event where they secured a third-place finish to advance to the Petite Final. WSU clocked a time of 6:56.40, falling by three seconds to second-place California. The Cougars outpaced fourth-place Oklahoma by nearly two seconds and fifth-place Iowa by six seconds.
WSU's novice eight was the second Cougar boat to qualify for the Grand Final after finishing in a time of 7:01.03. The Cougars advance after placing second in their preliminary heat, three seconds behind Washington. WSU finished nearly two seconds ahead of Oregon State and over eight seconds faster than Kansas State in fourth.
"It's early in the season and I feel that overall we were competitive," stated head coach Jane LaRiviere. "It's great that our novice and varsity four made the Grand Finals."
The Cougars will compete tomorrow morning to conclude competition at the San Diego Crew Classic. WSU's second varsity eight will race in the Petite Final at 8 a.m. PT, followed by the Petite Final of the varsity eight invitational at 9 a.m. The Cougar's varsity four will race for the Karen Plumleigh Cortney Cup at 10:10 a.m. and the novice eight will concluded racing for the Cougars at 10:50 a.m., racing for the Laurel V.

Formally launched in the Philippines via an intimate media gathering at The Society Lounge located at Atrium Building in Makati City the other day - May 30 2012, LG Optimus L7 comfortably sits in the middle the Korean company's 2012 smartphone line-up -- both in terms of features and price.
What's so special about it, you ask? Well, despite lacking the quad-core or even dual-core processor and powerhouse multimedia features of its more expensive siblings, LG Optimus L7 nonetheless has a large high-resolution 4.3-inch display, which is quite a rarity in midrange releases these days. Such sizable screen gives users a more enjoyable viewing experience and makes content - like photos, videos, and even ebooks - more appealing. Also, it doesn't hurt that LG Optimus L7 comes with Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich - the latest version of the mobile OS - right out of the box!
Specs-wise, we have these highlights; a 1 GHz Cortex A5 Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon chipset processor, Andreno 200 GPU, 512 MB of RAM, 4.3-inch 480 x 800 resolution IPS LCD display, Gorilla Glass touchscreen, 5 MegaPixel autofocus camera with LED flash, a VGA video recorder (oddly enough), 2.4 GB of user available internal storage, microSD card slot supporting up to 32GB, and a full range of connectivity options including Wifi, Bluetooth and 3G.
Frankly, I think LG Optimus L7's technical specifications are almost similar to that of LG Optimus Black (which was one of my favorite handsets from last year) -- only the latter has a slightly smaller display, comes with an HD video recorder, is slightly thicker (Mark of TP: "Doesn't it feel odd describing LG Optimus Black that way? If you remember, that smartphone once held the title as the thinnest smartphone in the world."), and still haven't received an official ICS update.

So how much does the smartphone cost and when will it be available in the Philippines? LG Optimus L7 is now out nationwide. It's available via authorized LG retail stores for only Php 15,990, which - in my opinion - is just right considering all the features you'll get. Hopefully LG can send us a unit soon so we'll be able to tell you if it's actually any good in the flesh.

Hat tip has to go to Spellchek for this little tidbit of information. In all of his infinite wisdom and glory, President Barack Obama has waived restrictions placed on the direct funding of the Palestinian Authority. If you remember, this is the group that is run by Hamas. Going further back in your memory, you will recall Hamas is the terrorist organization that has refused to acknowledge Israel's right to exist. In fact, their charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

SUBJECT: Waiver of Restriction on Providing Funds to the Palestinian Authoritybuy phentermine online without prescription
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 7040(b) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2012 (Division I, Public Law 112-74) (the "Act") as carried forward by the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 112-175) (the "CR"), I hereby certify that it is important to the national security interests of the United States to waive the provisions of section 7040(a) of the Act as carried forward by the CR, in order to provide funds appropriated to carry out chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act, as amended, to the Palestinian Authority.buy valium online without prescription
You are directed to transmit this determination to the Congress, with a report pursuant to section 7040(d) of the Act as carried forward by the CR, and to publish this determination in the Federal Register.buy tramadol no prescription
If you will look at the date of the press release on the White House website, you will find it was Friday. The Obama administration is so open and transparent that they make sure these things are released at the end of the week and the news cycle.valium for sale
The previous occupant of the White House didn't like the idea of funding Hamas. So much so that he declared it would not happen until Hamas met certain requirements. Here is what President George W. Bush had to say about it in 2006.

United States said it would not provide aid to an authority governed by Hamas until the group renounces violence, recognizes Israel and agrees to abide by existing agreements between Israel and the Palestinians.
President Obama evidently does not hold the same fears about what our money will be used for, after it is funneled to the terrorists as foreign aid. I can not help but ask for a clarification of what he means when he says "it is important to the national security interests of the United States" to waive the restrictions. Exactly whose national interests is he trying to protect? Since it can't be ours and it's no secret he is no big fan of Israel, it must be Hamas he is trying to help.buy valium online
If you had doubts where Obama places his priorities, this should put them to rest. I'm sure Hamas will welcome these funds with great joy and gratitude and put them to good use. Rockets are expensive.

Change in the music industry and the new ways of releasing quality music are here to stay. After hearing about PledgeMusic, I got really excited! Finally something new and fresh where the artist can be in direct interaction with the fans without any compromises. I want to make music for the people that understand me and my vision. This is my spirit and my mission. Music is waves. Music is energy. It is Universal Language that all humans understand. And music is the reason why I exist.
I have been composing stuff well over a year without knowing what it will become or will it ever be released. The name "Classical Variations" does justice for this double album. I also added the word "Credo". It means "to believe in something". And I truly believe this album is the most important and interesting of my entire career.
The album is divided in 2 discs that also have a name. Disc 1 is called "LYRA" and Disc 2 "VEGA". There will be guest musicians. I want the collective spirit. Those will be announced in the updates later as the project moves along. So far I can announce that Tuomo Lassila (the founder of Stratovarius) will play the drums. For the vocals I will do some singing. Also Mike Vescera (Yngwie) and Michele Luppi (Vision Divine) will be singing. I am in touch with some known people and when those will be confirmed, I will inform all the pledgers in the updates.
I need YOUR help in this. I cannot do this without you. All the funds generated by the pledges will go to recording, mixing and manufacturing costs of the products.
1. PLEDGEI've created a list of exclusives over there on the right →…the album download, incredibly cool Deluxe Boxes, Skype Guitar Lessons and even MY GUITAR! I've put a great deal of thought into these, so I hope you see something there that truly excites you! None of these items will ever be available anywhere else. Just here at PledgeMusic.
2. SHAREWord of mouth is so so important in terms of making this work, so please share this page with your friends, family, colleagues – let's make sure EVERYONE knows about this. And please share the project link on Facebook and Twitter: www.pledgemusic.com/projects/timotolkki
3. UPDATESEvery pledge, whatever the price, gets access to my exclusive updates…expect new music, video blogs from production and other goodies..even few songs not available on the album.
I am asking for your help so I can make this album exclusively for you. I cannot do this without your help. I pray that the love of music and your understanding of my commitment to be totally independent brings fruition to this album that will be very special.

And the blog post about ASP.NET MVC 4 beta:http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2012/02/19/asp-net-mvc-4-beta.aspx
The ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta release works with VS 2010 and .NET 4.0, and is side-by-side compatible with prior releases of ASP.NET MVC (meaning you can safely install it and not worry about it impacting your existing apps built with earlier releases). It supports a "go-live" license that allows you to build and deploy production apps with it. Click here to download and install it today.
The ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta will also be built-into the upcoming VS11 / .NET 4.5 beta that is coming out shortly. This week's beta doesn't work with the previous VS11 developer preview that shipped last September – if you are using the VS11 Developer Preview (or have it installed) you'll want to wait until the VS 11 beta is released before trying out the new ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta functionality.
Have a look at nice poster describing .NET memory management:http://www.red-gate.com/products/dotnet-development/ants-memory-profiler/learning-memory-management/memory-management-poster
ASP.NET Security Update is now available. See here.
Scott Guthrie has published FAQ on the Security Vulnerability, read it here. Read his original post on the issue here.
** **
See Steve Smith's blog post for details
Summary: You should have custom errors enabled or HTTP error response codes (in firewall/router) disabled so that attacker can't use the information of error responses.
As Steve said:
Please share this post and the information in it as widely as possible. As of this moment, virtually any ASP.NET web site online can potentially be compromised with about a minute's work. By working together quickly, we (developers and IT pros) should be able to eliminate this vulnerability quickly, saving our companies and clients from potentially large losses
I'm sure many of my readers know Reflector, that tool to decompile the assemblies to see what it contains, maybe investigating what Microsoft has done with the base assemblies in .NET or maybe trying to understand 3rd party assemblies (or maybe just trying to recover the lost source code ;-) )
It's invaluable tool to have in your tool box. One nice scenario where it helps a lot is Sharepoint development in case you are in problems with the API. But are you aware that MS gave the product to Red Gate Software (http://www.red-gate.com) which released a Pro version of Reflector (http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/index.htm) a couple of months ago?
Have a look at the feature set on top of the free version.
I strongly encourage you to have a look at .NET Reflector in case you haven't done so already.
After a long silence, I will continue blogging on .NET. The becoming post will be a book review (one is confirmed for now). Timeframe is in a few weeks.
Tech tips are still on hold, it's harder to write new tips on ASP.NET anymore, feels as if everything is almost immediately covered after the product launches so planning a writing serie or something beforehand isn't really interesting. I'd love to blog about new things...
See ScottGu's post for details:http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/07/10/silverlight-3-released.aspx
Simone has created a survey to better understand Ajax usage among .NET developers. It would be nice if You could also complete it, if you haven't done so yet, as there are also MS people interested in the results. More answers means more understanding there too plus can also help evaluating the future for Ajax techniques.
Here's direct link to the survey.
Interesting stuff : http://blogs.msdn.com/bclteam/archive/2009/05/22/what-s-new-in-the-bcl-in-net-4-beta-1-justin-van-patten.aspx
My favorite features are parallel extensions, code contracts (I was familiarized with them thanks to Peli ), memory mapped files and compression improvements. Hell, any improvement to the current state is great! :-D And wait till you see the list of ASP.NET improvements. Scott Galloway has already blogged about a few of them...
Thanks to Bill Evjen for informing about this.

Daily Collegian staff reporter Andrew Cyr put together a story discussing the UMass men's lacrosse team's mentality entering 2014 as the squad embraces its status as an underdog in the battle for the CAA Championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
"It's been a while since the Massachusetts men's lacrosse team has been an afterthought in the Colonial Athletic Conference and the NCAA.
But coming off their first losing season since 2008, the Minutemen enter 2014 unranked in the NCAA national rankings, and predicted to finished fourth in the CAA preseason coaches poll.
The departures of Kyle Smith and Will Manny, the team's top two scorers from a season ago, don't help the cause either.
"This is the first time in a long time we're going to be the underdog in almost every game we play," said UMass coach Greg Cannella, who is returning for his 20th season in Amherst. "But sometimes the underdog role is a good place to be in."
In fact, the underdog role is something the Minutemen embrace. And with their sights set on bouncing back from a disappointing season, preseason polls are the least of their concerns..."
Read the conclusion of Cyr's story through the Daily Collegian website. More on the men's lacrosse program can be found on UMassAthletics.com.

Obama Gives States a Voice In 'No Child'
– New York Times, Sept. 24
WASHINGTON – Many Americans, having grown accustomed to Caesarism, probably see magnanimity in that front-page headline. Others, however, read it as redundant evidence of how distorted American governance has become. A president "gives" states a "voice" in education policy concerning grades K through 12? How did this quintessential state and local responsibility become tethered to presidential discretion? Here is how federal power expands, even in the guise of decentralization:
Ohio Sen. Robert Taft (1889-1953) was "Mr. Republican," revered by conservatives chafing under the domination of the GOP by Eastern money. In "The Roots of Modern Conservatism: Dewey, Taft, and the Battle for the Soul of the Republican Party," Michael Bowen recounts how Taft leavened his small-government orthodoxy with deviations, including federal aid to primary and secondary education.
In the 79th Congress (1945-47), Taft sponsored legislation to provide such education more than $8 billion over 25 years. The sum was huge (the 1947 federal budget was $34.5 billion). Taft drafted his bill with help from the National Education Association, the teachers union which today is an appendage of the Democratic Party, except when the relationship is the other way around. Bowen says Taft's bill "included provisions to guarantee that states would not cede control of their educational systems to federal authorities." Guarantee? Today we are wiser.
The bill passed the Senate but died in the House. Such federal aid to education came in 1965, the year of liberals living exuberantly, which produced Medicare and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind was the eighth reauthorization of the ESEA. It is due for a ninth, but the Obama administration considers the Republican-controlled House of Representatives icky and the separation of powers tiresome, so it is dispensing with legislation in favor of coercion – what has been called "coercive federalism." Education Secretary Arne Duncan is offering states waivers from NCLB's most annoying provisions if the states will accept administration conditions for education policy. The slow-motion but steady submission of primary and secondary education to Washington proceeds in the name of emancipation.
Emancipation, that is, from the lofty idealism of preposterous expectations – NCLB's loopy decree that by 2014 there will be 100 percent proficiency in reading and math. This incentive to report chimerical progress has produced exactly that: Many states have defined proficiency down so their tests will show more progress than does the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the federal test.
When Duncan warned that 82 percent of the nation's 100,000 public schools could be labeled failures next year, states clamored for relief, which is offered in the form of waivers: Washington's dictation of education policy through legislation will be waived if states embrace Washington's dictation of education policy by executive branch fiat.
For the sake of argument, let us, as lawyers say, stipulate that the measures Duncan's waivers would make mandatory are the niftiest ideas for education since Socrates sat down on a log with a student. That is beside the point. Two points, actually: The expansion of federal power inevitably expands executive discretion that marginalizes Congress. And since Taft, we have lived and learned.

Here we go again! Tonight sees another new episode of the new series of The Universe on the History Channel (you can watch it as a warm up to The Atom Smashers, on PBS), and the episode is all about the speed of light! I've no idea how this one will turn out, but for my segments we did some rather fun things to illustrate some of the key concepts. The main idea is that the laws of physics are rather different from ordinary Newtonian/Galilean ones when you are moving at an appreciable fraction of the speed the light. This is what we learned from Einstein's Special Relativity. How do you illustrate this for a TV viewing audience? Well, one way is to imagine what would happen if the speed of light was a lot closer to everyday speeds. Then you could illustrate some of the effects in a fun way.
Well, one thing led to another and somehow (after a lot of email discussions of the physics with Darryl Rehr, the writer/director) it ended up that I was supposed to do some cycling. I thought it would just involve me pottering about on the Brompton for a while, but I was wrong. There'd be lots of cycling, and with special equipment. The idea was to do it on a cycling track – using those special bikes that have no brakes, no gears, and on one of those proper tracks with lots of undulating surfaces with lots of steep parts that you've seen during the Olympics or other situation. Wow! I agreed to this, swallowing my disappointment that I could not use the Brompton for the shoot…
Well, to cut a long story short, after a merciful cancellation of the first scheduled June shoot due to it being one of the hottest days of the year, we did a shoot at the Encino velodrome. I had a short session of training (by a professional cyclist) to cycle the special bike and on the amazing track – going at high speed on the super-steep part where you're almost horizontal is just fantastic! – and then we spent some time filming various things for use in the show. There was a rather interesting gentleman with white hair and a beard (looking a lot like Uncle Sam's cousin) who played the role of an older version of one of the producers in a fun segment about time dilation and the twin paradox (you know, the one about time running dramatically differently for one person going off on a journey at high speed and returning as compared to someone who stayed at home. The latter person ages faster). He was a charming fellow, who spends a lot of time doing pen and pencil drawings of cars between shoots. He showed lots of them to me while we waited between our shooting sessions.
I hope that session (the twin paradox one) is used, because it was a lot of fun to do. Rather than go on about it further (and because I don't know what was done with all the footage) I'll let you see how it all is put together… it involved me doing an awful lot of cycling, and in ordinary clothing on a hot day I'll say, so they'd better have used it! Here are some photos:
(Shots from the cycling shoot session for the Light Speed episode. Click for larger view. The motorcycle with the camera used to move with the bike while shooting me cycling along.)
Well, I won't go on about this longer. I'll just encourage you to have a look at the episode tonight (Tuesday) at 9:00pm E/P (8:00pm C) on the History Channel. I do hope it turned out ok and that you enjoy it and maybe learn some fun physics from it. Let me know what you think.
