Here's another one of my new toys. My brand new sewing machine. Now to some, this may not seem like the top of the line, amazing, sew itself machine, however this is a huge leap for me. I now have a Bernina 230.
It truly is a beautiful machine. I LOVE it. Can I say, it doesn't get hung up and make really loud awful noises when I sew through multiple layers of fabric. In fact, it glides right through them. I can't even believe the difference. All the feet are handmade. Handmade!! They are perfectly balanced in order to provide ease and stability in sewing. I also found out that this here bobbin set-up is the best set-up that has been built so far.
The Bernina Company has not moved to the upper bobbin system because of this system's problems in maintaining consistent tension. I would have to definitely agree after coming from a starter Brother machine that features this upper bobbin system. I think the lower bobbin is the only way to go. So here I am. A true Bernina convert. I can't believe all the stitches this thing can do either. I really can't. How is it that I can find so much joy from so many stitches? I've really only used about three, but the idea of using all of them makes my mouth water. I want to marry my machine…Oh wait, I'm already married. I'll have to settle for a long term affair.

Academy Award-winning actress Julia Roberts was presented with the Spotlight Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival at its annual awards gala on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014, in Palm Springs, Calif. Roberts is being honored for her role in the new film "August: Osage County." Presented by Cartier, the 25th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala was hosted by television personality Mary Hart. The awards gala also presented honors to Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, director Steve McQueen, Matthew McConaughey, Bruce Dern, Lupita Nyong'o, Thomas Newman and the cast of "American Hustle." The Festival runs January 3-14, 2014.
Co-star with Julia Robert's in "August: Osage County," Ewan McGregor was on hand to pay tribute to Academy Award winner Julia Roberts saying simply "She is no stranger to accolades."
Julia took to the strange as the band played "Pretty Woman." And Julia went on to have the shortest remarks of the night and somewhat the strangest as well when she continued "I learned in high school that it is a scientific fact that all birds fly higher and faster in formation that any individual bird will ever fly alone. Every moment of my career is only an illustration of that scientific fact. And for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you very much."
"Julia Roberts is a consummate actress with a range as vast as her talent," said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. "Her ability to consistently give standout performances over the past 25 years is remarkable. In her latest, 'August: Osage County,' she is a key catalyst in a darkly comic tale of a family coming back together after tragedy strikes. To Julia Roberts, one of the best actresses of our age and any other, the Palm Springs International Film Festival is proud to present the Spotlight Award."
Past recipients of the Spotlight Award include Helen Hunt, Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain.
Julia Roberts is currently starring as the daughter to of a dysfunctional family that is full of strong-willed women in "August: Osage County." The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play written by Tracy Letts and tells the story of the family reuniting after a family crisis. The film also stars Meryl Streep (another honoree of tonight's awards), Ewan McGregor, Abigail Breslin, Chris Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, Margo Martindale, Juliette Lewis, Dermot Mulroney, Sam Shepard, Julianne Nicholson and Misty Upham.
Julia Roberts is the quintessential female movie star. Her role in "Pretty Women" with Richard Gere made Julia a star. She has starred in "Mystic Pizza," "Steel Magnolias," "Everyone Says I Love You," "The Pelican Brief," "Stepmom," "My Best Friend's Wedding," "Notting Hill," "Oceans Eleven," "Closer" and "Eat Pray Love." But her Oscar-winning role was in the biopic "Erin Brockovich." Roberts is now working on an HBO movie "The Normal Heart," based on the play by Larry Kramer. It is set to be release in May of 2014.

It was working Saturday night. The Lynchburg Amateur radio Club was running QRP with a D7A and Arrow antenna and we made one contact. The club call is K4CQ. There was some not keeping with the QRP standard but I expected that. We made our one contact and did not try again. It was a hoot to operate the QRP setup. I was calling, a retired banker was holding the external speaker, a lawyer was logging, and a retirement home administrator was waving the Arrow Antenna around the sky. All this in the middle of the night standing in the middle of the street in a public park. Thanks to all those we worked. We ended with 34 contacts and worked all sats but SO-50. Even worked 2 contacts on AO-7 in mode B on one pass. The 10 meter loop was worth the effort. Ain't satellite fun! 73's << John > Was the QRP side of AO-51 working for Field Day?

La Alberca, Spain: A Glimpse of Yesterday
Although Spain is a magnificent country with countless historic sights, bustling cities and plenty of stunning locations, it can be overwhelming.
After all, there are only so many museums, art galleries and beaches you can take before you lose the feel for the country and get sucked into benign tourist mode.
For those travelers who want a more subtle and authentic glimpse into the heart of Spain, there is no better place to start than La Alberca, a town well known for its traditions and customs that date back to the 14th Century.
Located in the province of Salamanca, and a one-and-a-half-hour bus ride from the titular city, La Alberca is close to civilization yet removed enough to preserve its pastoral charm.
At 1084 meters (3,556 feet) above sea level and nestled on the northern slopes of La Sierra de Francia, its isolation and the conflux of granite, slate and quartzite create a breeding ground for a variety of wild vegetation and beckoning forests of oak, chestnut, and almond groves. With homely farms dotting the varying landscape, this is rural Spain at its finest.
The Town
The charming town was founded in the 1300s and was the first village to be declared a National Historical Monument by the Spanish government.
It is extremely well-preserved, as you can see by its fabulous medieval architecture, narrow cobblestone roads and thatched roofs. In fact, all new buildings must be made in the same manner and style as the old ones.
Traditionally, the houses (which may not have more than three floors) are made of stone and granite quarried from the surrounding environs and supported with wooden beams.
Most of the houses were built with the intention of raising animals and smoking their meat inside, and as a result, many floors had holes in them, to allow the curing of the meat on the highest floor.
Even today, La Alberca abounds with fine meat shops, all hawking their delectable Jamón Serrano (or mountain ham). Rustic paddocks surround the village, stocked with strapping young pigs that grow fat on the local black acorns, producing the rich flavor of this famous export.
Aside from the splendid ham, La Alberca has an array of specialty stores that sell everything from roasted nuts and jars of local honey to sweet turrón, the Spanish desert of honey, almonds and egg whites.
Once you try turrón you'll be loading your suitcase with bars of it to bring back home, hopefully to share with friends and family. Or maybe not.
Although only 1,000 villagers still reside in La Alberca, that doesn't mean you won't find a memorable place to eat. The sprawling Hotel Doña Teresa operates three great restaurants throughout the town, El Castillo, La Catedral and La Abuela Carmen.
The Horno de Lena near the town square is also a worthwhile place. Being the gregarious and generous Spaniards they are, don't be surprised if you find yourself invited to dinner by one of the proud locals.
When it comes time to sample the local wines and drinks, there are numerous little tapas bars scattered throughout the town, a great pick being the simply named Bar La Alberca, which faces the town's picturesque main square.
If you are in mind for a "free" beverage while in the square, there is the reported "fountain of youth," where cold, fresh and fabled water runs from a spigot on the wall.
It would not be Spain without the ever-present town church. La Alberca's church may look unassuming from the outside but inside it tells a different and historically rich story.
The Church of the Asunción houses many revered wonders such as a 16th-century pulpit sculpted in granite, a splendid Gothic copper processional cross and a figure of Cristo del Sudor.
Due to its mountainous location, La Alberca has harsh winters and hot and dry summers. Spring and autumn are mild, making it an ideal time to escape the heat and the summer crowds (yes, La Alberca does get some tourists!)
One of the main events in La Alberca is on the day of the Virgin of August, when a play is staged in the narrow village streets. Villagers put on their acting hat for the day and become numerous characters.
The atmosphere of the village is lifted by the opulently adorned costumes and the enthusiasm of the locals. Another fun fiesta is at Easter, for the 'El Día del Trago' when the Town Hall invites the whole village to an aperitif.
Because of La Alberca's welcoming and traditional climate, it makes a pleasant stop for any inquisitive travelers who want to experience the often underrated simple pleasures of old-town Spain.

I had a quick question with which I am not sure how to get started. I've done some time complexity stuff that involves big-oh, omega and theta notation but nothing with sums.
Here is the question: $$ f(n) = \sum_{k=1}^n {k^{3}\over2^{k}} $$
Prove that $$ f(n) = \Theta(1) $$
Any tips, advice or answers to similar questions would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's well known that people with rheumatoid arthritis, or RA, are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but new research quantifies their risk of a specific type: atrial fibrillation. A new study shows that RA patients are 60 percent more likely to develop atrial fibrillation than those without RA.
Atrial fibrillation isn't usually life threatening, but it can cause a stroke or, if left uncontrolled, lead to heart failure. It occurs when the two upper chambers of the heart, the atria, beat out of sync with the two lower chambers, the ventricles. This affects the heart's ability to properly pump blood out of the heart.
"The message for patients and their doctors is, if you have RA you should keep watch for any symptoms of atrial fibrillation," says study author Abhishek Deshmukh, MD, a cardiology fellow at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. Symptoms of atrial fibrillation, which can be managed with medications or other treatments, include a fluttering feeling in the chest, racing heart, dizziness, confusion and/or shortness of breath. "Patients have to be vigilant about this and doctors have to be vigilant about this too," he adds.
Dr. Deshmukh presented the findings in May 2011 at the Heart Rhythm Society meeting in San Francisco. He and his research team sifted through a database of more than 400,000 patients older than 65 who were treated for atrial fibrillation at 1,200 hospitals in the U.S. They discovered the odds of developing the heart problem were 1.6 times higher for RA patients than those without the inflammatory condition. Dr. Deshmukh says the inflammation that occurs with RA is likely linked with the heart problem.
"The study is interesting as one which suggests a hypothesis of a possible link between RA and atrial fibrillation," says Eric Matteson, MD, chair of the department of rheumatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "Inflammation in the heart can affect the blood supply to the electrical system of the heart, which can have the result that the normal electrical impulses are not properly conducted. This can lead to rhythm disturbances like atrial fibrillation and even heart block." Dr. Matteson says more work is needed to better understand this possible association.
According to Dr. Matteson, one of the study's limitations is the use of administrative databases such as hospital-discharge data, which might be inaccurate. He also says patients with RA discharged from the hospital may not be representative of all RA patients.
But he and other doctors agree the study findings serve as a reminder to patients to stay on top of their health and their RA.
"We know there's increased risk for cardiovascular disease for patients with RA," says David Pisetsky, MD, a professor of medicine at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., "What you want to do is things that decrease risk." He recommends quitting smoking, keeping weight in a healthy range, and treating abnormal lipid levels. "There is probably good reason to think the degree of control of inflammation matters, so disease should be under control," he says.
Dr. Pisetsky adds that this research is an important reminder to RA patients to familiarize themselves with the symptoms of atrial fibrillation and make sure they're regularly checking with their doctor to be screened for heart problems or abnormalities.

Consider the lens space $L_{p,q}$, which we can describe using its standard heegaard splitting, i.e. define $L_{p,q}$ as a quotient of two solid tori, identifying meridians on the boundary of one with $(p,q)$-curves on the other. Call $H_1$ and $H_2$ the two solid tori, and $T$ the torus with identified points. I am working on a proof that $L_{p,q}$ has no orientation reversing self-homeomorphism if $q$ is a quadratic residue mod $p$. A proof can be found here, but it can be greatly simplified if we assume that any homeomorphism $L_{p,q} \to L_{p,q}$ is isotopic to one which maps $T$ to $T$. In this textbook the author claims that this might always be the case, although he doesn´t give any reasons for this assumption, not even intuitive ones.
Does anybody know if and why this might be the case? It seems to me that we need to exclude cases in which, for example, one torus ends un knotted inside the other, but unfortunately I am very far from being able to justify anything rigorously.
Thanks for any insight.

|Two charged in ammonia theft from Venice farm
Cayuga County Sheriff David Gould reports that the Cayuga County Sheriffs Office has arrested two persons in connection with an anhydrous ammonia theft which occurred early Thursday morning 2/14/13 on Shields Rd. in the Town of Venice.
Sheriffs Deputies responded to a complaint by the property owner that he had witnessed a suspicious van repeatedly driving past his farm. After discovering that his tanks had been tampered with the owner then followed the van into Tompkins County where it was eventually located and stopped by the Tompkins County Sheriffs Department.
Cayuga County Sheriffs Detectives responded to the stop location and upon interviewing the occupants of the van learned that a second vehicle was also involved. A bulletin for the second vehicle was issued and a short time later that vehicle was also located and stopped by the Tompkins County Sheriffs Department.
The subsequent investigation and interviews led to the determination that two of the four persons being interviewed had been involved in the theft of anhydrous ammonia on Shields Rd. and that the ammonia was to be used for the manufacturing of methamphetamine.
The other two persons involved had only come to the area to assist when the anhydrous thieves vehicle became temporarily disabled.
Charged are:
Casey D. Aldrich age 33 of 206 Parkhurst St. Elkland Pa.
Timothy E. Hickey age 34 of 3240 High St. Ext. Corning, N.Y.
Grand Larceny in the fourth degree (felony)
Possession of burlgars tools (misdemeanor)
Both subjects were arraigned in the Town of Venice Court. Aldrich, who is currently on parole in Pennsylvania, his being held without bail. Hickey was remanded to the Cayuga County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond. The New York State Police also assisted with one of the stops in Tompkins County.

Reviews for Cheddar Pear Pie
"If you love pears you will defiantly love this pie. To prevent soggy crust brush the bottom of your crust with a beaten egg before adding filling. I also used flour instead of cornstarch (2 Tbsp. ) I would most likely make again but with less sugar, I found it quite sweet. I also think making this recipe with apples would be a great change up. Very Good! Thx! Cynthia"
"I love this pie, have made it with and without cheese, sooo good, amd much better than apple pie, imo."
"make it every year when the pears are ripe on our trees"
"I loved it! Good use of pears that need to be eaten up. The cheese topping was what really made it for me."
"I have been making this recipe for years. We have a pear tree in our yard and my family looks forward to this pie every year!"

"Hemlock Grove" has been renewed for a 10-episode third and final season, Netflix announced Tuesday (Sept. 2). Season 3 of Eli Roth's supernatural drama is scheduled to premiere sometime in 2015, according to Deadline.
"We are so grateful to the fans of 'Hemlock Grove' who have championed the series so intensely over two seasons," Roth said in a statement. "We are looking forward to taking the last and final season into some dark and unexpected places, and to giving viewers the killer finale you'd come to expect from 'Hemlock Grove.'"
The series, based on the novel by Brian McGreevy, revolves around two young men, one a vampire and one a werewolf, who are wrongly accused of murder when bodies begin turning up in a small Pennsylvania town. It stars Famke Janssen, Bill Skarsgard, Landon Liboiron and Dougray Scott.
The drama had a strong debut in April 2013, drawing more viewers in its opening weekend than the critically acclaimed "House of Cards," and doing particularly well among younger audiences. The second season, which premiered this past July, saw the town of Hemlock Grove continue to come to grips with the shocking massacre incurred by one of its deadliest creatures. Charles H. (Chic) Eglee, who joined as showrunner in its sophomore season, will return to the show for Season 3.
This is the second original series renewal for the video-streaming service in the past week. Netflix renewed animated comedy "BoJack Horseman" for Season 2 late last month, TV Guide reports. The show follows a former 1990s sitcom star who has fallen on hard times and is caught in a downward spiral of alcoholism and self-destruction. The voice cast includes Will Arnett as the titular character, Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris, Paul F. Tompkins and Alison Brie.

The exponentially accelerating pace of technology will be incomprehensible to the unaided human mind within thirty years.
If you have heard anything about the movie "Her" you know that it is a futuristic science fiction flick. However, the movie does have a foundation in reality. Particularly interesting, is that the future depicted in the movie shows a genuine attempt to reconcile abstract technological evolution with the concrete; things that our eyes can recognize, such as wooden furniture and handwritten letters. According to a report made by the Huffington Post which was published on Feb. 18, a future with Transhumanist technology may be closer than we think.
The movie begs the question; how far are we from a reality where computers can interact with us, with other computers, learn with us and ultimately express creativity and sentiments? When are computers going to pass the 1950s Turing test, where they can deceive humans into thinking they are not machines? To do this they would need to exhibit human-like behavior and humans are very good at perceiving when something is not quite right.
Ray Kurzweil, a futurist who works for Google, thinks that within the next ten years computers will exceed the computing capacity of the human brain, if measured in FLOPS or floating operations per second. He also believes that within the next thirty years, one single computer will have more computational power than every brain on Earth combined. Kurzweil bases his predictions on Moore's law, which has more or less been proven. The 30-year period is calculated by the exponentially accelerating pace of technology. Something similar to Samantha, the AI in the "Her" movie, will becoming a reality by 2030 under these calculations.
By 2045, Kurzweil believes humans will have molecule-sized computers inside their brains and bodies, which will enhance their cognitive powers and regulate their health. In order to optimize these functions our brains could connect to the cloud. This singularity, as Kurzweil calls it, is a point where any further advance of a variable leads to an infinite advance in one that is correlated with it. In other words, machines will be advancing technology at this singularity in a way that humans will not even be able to comprehend unless they are neurologically connected to the AIs, similar to a neuropsychological evaluation.
Sound far fetched? Apple Macintosh was unveiled to the world thirty years ago and took up most of the space on your average desk. Today, Apple has built a phone you can fit in the palm of your hand that has computational capacity 200 million times more powerful than the original Apple Macintosh. Projecting out 30 years, a molecule-sized computer that is a billion times more powerful than the iPhone is not far fetched at all, if you do the math.

We took a week away from Impractical Jokers to find our way out of that haunted corn maze, but we're back now to provide commentary on the guys' most recent shenanigans. This week, we're shocked to discover that at least one of the guys isn't a professional athlete. Shocked.
Challenge #1: Aisle Be Damned
The guys are back at the supermarket, this time as shoppers. Joe must pretend to surveil anyone who walks by, but takes a loss rather than talk about his mini cucumbers. Sal finds himself hijacking other people's carts. Q runs into his supervillain arch-nemesis, then decides to help himself to some whipped cream, which leads to the guys making him use it for evil. Murr is forced to tell a couple he's sterile, before nearly taking out a passerby with his cart. Thus continues the legend of the supermarket in Impractical Jokers lore.
Loser: Joe
Challenge #2: The Mystery Bag
Can the Jokers give away something for nothing? As it turns out, not really, because you don't want what they have. Sal can't manage to pass off a jar labeled "Grandma Oil," because he's flustered talking about wringing it out of his grandmother in her sleep. Joe's turn gets temporarily derailed by tourists asking him to take a family photo, but he still can't unload a ton of condoms. Murr has absolutely no chance of unloading a broken IV stand, and he knows it. Q gets a giant dead fish, and is inexplicably able to pass it off to a confused passerby, despite having absolutely no game whatsoever. We're still scratching our heads over that one.
Losers: Sal, Joe and Murr
Challenge #3: Choose Wisely
Only Joe and Murr have to play this challenge, where you not only have to do whatever you're told, but do it to the right randomly designated person in the mall food court. For Joe, that means going up behind people, covering their eyes and saying "Guess who?" Unfortunately, he spends so much time on a dude with prominent eyebrows that he walks by the elderly gentleman that was his intended target. "How did an old man outrun me?" he wonders aloud. Murr has to shoot an evil look (or what he thinks passes for evil) at people, which mostly just gets him laughed at. He, too, can't find the right guy, but escapes punishment because Joe failed the two earlier challenges.
Losers: Joe and Murr
Big Loser: Joe
The Punishment: He has to squeeze himself into a bodysuit and pretend he's a superstar gymnast, except for that he's probably never even used the word gymnastics. What follows includes lots of footage of a disapproving little girl, Joe getting stuck in a pit of foam blocks, and a bunch of actual athletes who eventually get in on the joke. Joe gets no small measure of revenge, though, because Sal and Murr are on the floor laughing so hard they've probably hurt themselves. It's safe to say the professional gymnasts of the world face no threat from our Jokers.

Chemo Before or After Surgery
When is it appropriate to get chemo before surgery versus after?
Suzanne Walker CRNP, MSN, AOCN, Nurse Practitioner for Thoracic Malignancies at Penn Medicine responds:
Most people will receive their chemotherapy after surgery ("adjuvant therapy"). Some people may receive their chemotherapy before surgery in certain circumstances such as when the tumor is too large or in a particular location that would make surgery difficult or impossible. In these cases, "neoadjuvant" (before surgery) chemotherapy may help to shrink the tumor and make the operation feasible.

This morning I've been working on Kevin Stidham's laptop and trying to catch up on email. Kevin goes to our chess club and got a $100 laptop from a garage sale he's trying to get working. It's actually a great laptop for the price he paid! It wasn't recognizing that it was a genuine copy of Windows XP. I managed to find an alternate validation tool from Microsoft and got past that.
This was the first book I'd read in quite a while! It seems like I do a lot more DVD watching these days. I think this book was a gift from Heath for Christmas back in 2004.
While I watched some tennis back in the 80's, I never really paid much attention to John McEnroe. I was usually watching women's tennis, where the ball travels slower and you can understand what's happening. Ever since the graphite racket it seems like men's tennis moves way to fast for the eye to follow.
Anyway, I'd heard of John McEnroe's temper tantrums, but that's about the extent of my knowledge about him going in.
The first part of the book talks about recent experiences with September 11, which immediately dates the book but was probably a feature of every book released in 2002.
After the first chapter ends it's your typical memoir starting at the beginning and moving back towards the present.
I really enjoyed the book, and came out a big fan of John McEnroe. Learning about his complicated relationships with his family, friends, ex-wife, and even his doubles partner was quite an eye opener. I'd definitely recommend picking up the book and reading it.

Knowing the seasons to sow, plant, and harvest each crop, along with the quirks of your local climate and the rough dates of the last frosts, will help you to plan a container garden that is both productive and attractive throughout the year.
Early Spring
As the weather warms up and the days lengthen it's time to get sowing. Many crops can be sown outside now, but the warmth of a greenhouse or windowsill will give them a head start, and is essential for germinating tender crops.

College Hockey:Atlantic Hockey Visits RIT
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Atlantic Hockey commissioner Bob DeGregorio and Canisius athletic director Tim Dillon paid a weekend visit to Rochester Institute of Technology as part of that university's bid to become a member of the league as early as the 2006-07 season.
The tour of RIT and meetings with RIT officials, including AD Lou Spiotti and coach Wayne Wilson, marked the third of four steps required for a team to become a member of the league. RIT has completed the first two steps: a formal application and a financial review. Other applicants did not make it beyond the first step, according to league officials.
After representatives of the league complete campus visits, its athletic directors will review information brought to them by DeGregorio and Dillon, and will vote on whether to accept new members. Atlantic Hockey would not disclose whether that vote would be a majority or consensus vote.
Dillon said the league would like to expand to 10 teams, but that expansion will not happen until the 2006 season, to allow Atlantic Hockey "due dilligence" in its selection process.
"We don't have to do this today or tomorrow. We have our own timeline, and we're going to stick to it," said Dillon, during a live radio interview at Saturday's RIT-Neumann game.
With a reported attendance of 2,061, the game was just 39 short of a sellout at the Frank Ritter Memorial Arena. Last season, RIT averaged 1,256 per game, higher than any team in Atlantic Hockey except Army, which was the only team to average more than 1,000. Eight of the bottom 10 teams in D-I attendance were from Atlantic Hockey.
"To see this kind of environment, this is great for college hockey," said Dillon.
At least in the near term, men's hockey will be the only Division I sport at Division III RIT, so the program will not be able to offer scholarships. But Dillon does not see that as an obstacle.
"We can say that some programs don't have scholarships, but they have other advantages," said Dillon. "You weigh things out and see what it does for your program … and then you make the best decision you can for the league as a whole and for the individual institutions."
Dillon, who is also on the NCAA Division I men's hockey committee, sees the expansion of the D-I ranks as important, especially after the loss of three programs in the last two years. "It continues to show the growth of hockey, and it allows us to push for additional resources at a national level."
"For a program to go from Division III to Division I, such as [RIT] and especially with the fine academics that [RIT has] and the way that [RIT is] going about things, it speaks volumes not only for the program but also the continued growth of college hockey," said Dillon.
Although Dillon would not discuss other institutions applying for membership in Atlantic Hockey, DeGregorio confirmed last week to USCHO.com that the league will visit Air Force in January. A departure by Air Force from College Hockey America would reduce that league's membership to five teams and would remove its automatic qualifier. Dillon was asked if the viability of the CHA was a consideration in the league's decision.
"It weighs into my thinking on some things, but it's not a topic I can discuss. When it comes to the Division I ice hockey [committee], there's six of us, and we deal with a variety of different issues," said Dillon. "To do what we need to do, we can't really discuss it."
Prior to joining Atlantic Hockey's predecessor, the MAAC, at its formation, Canisius was a member of the ECAC West along with Mercyhurst and Niagara. Those three teams and RIT competed for the ECAC West championship in 1998. The move to a Division I league enhanced the profile of Canisius, and Dillon believes that RIT will see a similar boost.
"We really believe and we've been able to show that the exposure for our program has been tremendous. A couple of years ago, we co-hosted the Frozen Four; you saw the Canisius logo right on the ice. You saw Canisius College all over the place. You can't put a price on that type of advertising."
The D-I committee has awarded a 2007 regional to Rochester's Blue Cross Arena, a 11,215-seat venue that is home to the AHL Rochester Americans. Dillon visited the downtown Rochester facility on Saturday. "It's another nice piece for RIT if things were able to be worked out," he said. The Blue Cross Arena could be home to an in-season tournament, perhaps even in preparation for the regional.
Rochester, N.Y., is the second-largest metropolitan area in the United States without a Division I sport, but the largest, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., is close to D-I sports in Miami.
RIT President Albert Simone hosted DeGregorio and Dillon at the president's official residence, Liberty Hill, on Friday evening, with members of the board of trustees, vice presidents, and what was described as "other dignitaries" in attendance.
Buffalo Sabres owner Tom Golisano is a member of the board of trustees, and a major benefactor to RIT, having donated $14 million for the construction of the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences.

I managed to avoid my fear of language learning when I was younger because studying a foreign language was never a requirement for me when I was in high school and college.
Then the summer before my senior year of college I went on a study abroad course to study art and architecture in Italy and fell in love with the culture.
took a second trip to Italy last spring to take an intensive language course in Florence, figuring that since I planned to make travel to Italy a regular part of my life, it would be nice to learn the language without all of the pressure of grades and exams.
I enrolled at the Koine Center located near the Duomo in Florence. Koine's teaching method is total immersion with the instructors only speaking Italian in the classroom. I signed up for two weeks worth of group lessons.
Upon arrival at the school I was given a fluency test. The written portion consisted of grammar questions which were mostly fill-in-the-blanks. After completing the written test I was given a private oral assessment and then placed in a beginning level classroom. There were three other students in my class – two Americans and one lady from Germany.
My time at Koine was challenging and fun. We did a variety of lessons from workbooks, basic conversation exercises and listening comprehension.

I have a problem with uncooked, sliced onion making me and other people feel uncomfortable in the stomach, sometimes whole night. However, when I eat tacos out in restaurants that never happens. Is it due to the variety of onion or do they prepare them in a certain way?
Adding salt and lemon should do it, or at least help a lot.
What you want to do is to chop them up and rub in a little salt and a splash of lemon juice (vinegar should work too). Obviously you don't want to add so much of either that you won't want to eat the onion. Leave to sit in the fridge overnight and enjoy.
Red onions are the best to use raw, and as I know a few people who get uncomfortable or upset stomachs when eating raw onion, even though others don't. I think it could be a particular allergy type thing. I'm not sure though so I will check that out. It could be good to store them in something though before serving (the onions not the people).

SEIA: New Report Offers 'Distorted View' of Solar ITC
A new study released today by the Stanford Graduate School of Business predicts that the U.S. solar industry is "headed for a cliff" if the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is not extended. Even though the report touts the solar industry's "dramatic growth," it called for a phase down of the ITC without any examination of the current and past tax treatments of established energy sources. Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), called that omission a "fatal flaw" which ignores how Congress has used the U.S. Tax Code over the past century to encourage the increased production of oil, gas, coal and even nuclear power, making it difficult for solar and other renewable energy sources to compete in the marketplace without incentives.

Following three launch attempts this week, shuttle and station managers met this morning to formulate a plan that would protect launch opportunities anytime starting next week through the end of May. The plan will be briefed tomorrow morning.
Presently, Russian flight controllers are developing a detailed plan for using thrusters on the Zarya module to raise the Station's orbit as early as Saturday, if necessary.
The current orbit of the ISS is 227 by 211 miles (365 x 339 kilometers). The average decay of the Station's orbit is about 1½ miles per week. As of midday today, the ISS has circled the Earth more than 8,200 times since November 1998.

After a community clean-up project uncovered them, Redding Rotarian Randy Smith, with help, pulled some 30 cast iron truck rims out of the Sacramento River in 2009.
There are still a few there, they had been used for erosion control before Shasta Dam was built.
On Monday, the rims were returned. They had been taken to Shasta College and welded into targets for a game created by Elin Klaseen's daughter.
You use bean bags or golf balls tied together by string to toss them at the hoops.
If you want to play the game, there are six targets set up near the lower parking lot on the southwest side of the Diestelhorst Bridge near the river trail.

Lose weight. Get organized. Spend less. Volunteer. Quit smoking. An estimated 40 percent of Americans made New Year's resolutions this month. Fewer than 10 percent will keep them.
But that didn't stop some residents from wiping the slate clean and chalking up a few self-improvement goals for 2014.
And the Medina Community Recreation Center is hopping because of it.
"This week our fitness room attendance is noticeably higher," recreation supervisor Kurt Gehring said. "People have finally gotten back to their normal routines.
"The kids are back in school; they're not taking time off to celebrate the holidays. And we've got two courts occupied with youth basketball every night."
Gehring said memberships are up as well.
"This is our big time of year for new members," He said. "It starts in December and goes through March."
Experts say the best way to keep a New Year's resolution is to set small, measurable goals and chart progress.
Lucas Gibbs, 24, a four-year recreation center member, has a solid fitness plan for 2014.
"I'm going to continue in 'beast mode'," he said. "I want to push past my plateau."
Member Jackie Whitaker, 52, said her goal is to "just let things flow."
Andrew Arbuckle, 16, said he's resolved to work out at the center several times a week.
His friend Will Kovach, 18, said, "I'm here and I'm hoping to get in shape this year."
Fitness room attendant Sam Kratsas, 17, said he hopes to increase his grade-point average at school.
Finance assistant Christy Moats said: "I'm going to simplify the clutter. Why have 10 purses when one will do — although I just bought three purses on eBay but only to use as parts."
Recreation center member Cheryl Bell, a teacher at Medina's H.G. Blake Elementary School said: "I'm trying to get healthier and exercise to keep up with my second-graders. I just had a birthday and it's not getting any easier."
Caroline Fazio, 58, said she will "continue what I've been doing. I exercise just about every day. This year I'm cutting down on carbs and eating more protein."
William Maki, 86, said he works out at the center three times a week.
"I have a heart condition and diabetes," he said. "But exercise has given me longevity."
Maki added the center is more than just a place to work out.
"This is family here. I've made a lot of friends at the rec," he said as he finished a 19-minute mile on an elliptical bike before heading to the pool.
Recreation center office administrator Michelle Kwiatkowski said her resolution is to "practice yoga and meditation for a stress-free year."
Rental coordinator Sandy Tomazic said she hoped in 2014 to "rent our beautiful facility to more of the community."
Several patrons questioned how the whole business of making resolutions got started.
Blame it on the Babylonians who launched their new year by promising the gods they would pay off debt and return borrowed items.
Two thousand years later, Emperor Julius Caesar called on Romans to honor the god Janus by setting moral goals for the new year. The month of January is named after Janus, a two-headed god who looked forward and backward and was the patron of new beginnings.
But while many resolutions are made at the recreation center, few are kept.
"The next few months will be busy," Gehring said, "and then it will slow down."
Gehring isn't worried about keeping any New Year promises — he didn't make a resolution this year.
"I've broken too many in the past," he said with a laugh.

For R being a commutative regular excellent Noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension which conditions on $f\in R$ can ensure that the ring $R/(f)$ is regular (so, I want a sufficient condition)? I do not want to look at all points of $R$.
Upd1. My $R$ is the inductive limit of a system of inclusions of regular Noetherian rings $R_i$ of finite Krull dimension. So, I want a 'finite number of conditions' on $f$ since I would like to check them for $R_i$.
Upd2. Since I am interested in algebras over fields, it seems that regularity can be characterized in terms of Andre-Quillen homology. Yet my algebras are not of finite type; are there any 'finite' substitute for these homology groups that ensure regularity (I do not need a necessary and sufficient criterion).

Now that the Professional Bowlers Assn. League season is over, preparations are being made for the 2015 season.
This would be the third season for the fledgling eight-team league. The Silver Lake (Calif.) Atom Splitters, behind franchise player Chris Barnes, earned the 2014 crown by defeating the Los Angeles X in an all-L.A. Elias Cup finals.
The past season proved to be good theater as the league made several rules revisions in an effort to enhance the competition. Furthermore, each team revamped its lineup for 2014 and all the teams are likely to undergo more personnel changes for Season No. 3.
So what changes would in the best interests of the league, whose competition received good exposure Sundays on ESPN?
This column has raised several suggestions and here's another proposal:
For the first week of preliminary competition, schedule a match between the two L.A. teams in a rematch of the Elias Cup battle. Additionally, schedule the match in L.A., so the fans in the City of Angels have the opportunity to identify with the players.
The past two seasons, all the players from the L.A. teams hailed from parts outside this area. And because the bowling matches took place in Michigan, Indiana and New Jersey, the league generally did not resonate with L.A. bowlers and fans.
In fact, the authoritative Los Angeles Times barely acknowledged the league in its first two seasons – content to recognize the two L.A. teams only in its small-print television listings.
Also disappointing was the ESPN coverage of the Elias Cup when the announcers never mentioned that this was an all-L.A. affair. Did they know that the Silver Lake community was part of L.A.? Apparently not.
So a head-to-head meeting of L.A. teams in L.A. could be something special – as long as it's promoted properly.
And if the league really wants to go all out, then it should arrange for the two L.A. teams to play an exhibition match against two "Dream Teams" of top L.A. bowlers. This could take place after the X-Atom Splitters match.
What better way to promote the league and bowling in L.A. than to pit the top PBA League pros against L.A.'s bowling aces – both men and women.
This would have the potential to be a blockbuster day of bowling and could put L.A. on the bowling map for a day. And when was the last time that happened?
The PBA League should go for it – and try to bowl over L.A.!
